THE ARMY. Lord Inma' Sowssam, as Military Secretary to the Cam. ptander.ia•Chief, went through his list yesterday, at his Office in the Horse Guards. A party of Sappers and Miners, under the toninsand of Colonel ,'altar, went by water from Chatham to Maidstone, to practise the construction cafe Postaisa Bridge over the Medway. The bridge was put together with surprising celerity, and parties of Cavalry passed and repassed over it with great facility and security. His Majesty's Gemnsawat las ettablisbed very advantageous re. / illations for the emouragfiseal of Officer, on half•pay settling la New South Wales and Vas Dieman's Land; but t►ey do not ez tend to Officers of the Navy or Royal Marines of inferior rank to' s Csptain in the Army. We treat we are rightly Informed ss.t►the Marna Gumma of the Outlaws having it in contemplation to pionsote that nserfto rious class of Officers, the Lientenaste olh Artillery of fifteen years standing an% upwards. •There are Officers of this rank who ha,, seen Lieutenants for twenty years, and who have shared in most, if not all, the perils and triumphs which the arms of Easkad en countered and won from the Bret coofficts in the Peninsula to the crowning glory of Waterloo. Surely to have so loos neglected the just claims of men who deserve se well of their country reflects dis credit somewhere. It Is acknowledged that the English artillery, daring the course of the last war, Improved beyond all former expe rience, and that to Its admirable officiary we are mainly indebted for the decisive victory which terminated the last war, and gave the dial check to the military genius of Nonmetal. Oa that day, so eveiettel in dr history of Europe, tie conduct of oar artillery wag beyond ail praise. Never did that department of tee service prove aril, in the critical moment when the fate of t►e nation war in the balance, more dreadfully effective. It annihilated t►e Old G a ged, who had followed their ambitious Chief ever so many Stith of Amory, and who, by their heroic efforts, had been accustomed to torn the fortune. of battle. It is painful to t aw, that the merits of t►e Officers who performed seek rest and splendid service to their country were not kept In better recodectioa.—lfernitrg Herald.

The interior of this erection is cased with stone from the celebrated quarry at Roach Abbey, its Yorkshire, the ceiling of which is also stone, grained Gothic. Nearly in the centre of the building stands a marble Gothic pedestal, on the 'sides of which are cut the arms of the deceased, and on the front the following istscription t JAMES WATT, BORN 19 JANVARY, 1736, - DIED 25 AVGYST, 1819.

The consequence is, that Lord LONSDALE has not only to pay several thousand pounds in lieu of rent, up to the filing of the bill (1821). but, whereas, before this proceeding, he was paying merely a nominal rent of 31. 10s. per annum, be now accepts a lease on a certain tent of 3001. a year, and subject to such other tonnage, rents or charges, as may be agreed upon by indifferent pencil's skilled in colliery affaus.— Liverpool Commercial Chroxick. • • - LORD MAYOR'S COURT, Seer. 11. ,oe-- MYVELL O MACICIINSI7L. This was an action brought by the Plnintilturtecover he sum of 1,3101. 14;. 3J. lodged by the defendant in .Coutts's bank, the defendant owing plaintiff more then that sum. The action was brought by nation of a very ancient custom, which obtains in London (and in that City alone). If a debt be contracted in the City, and the debtor leave the : jurisdiction of this Court, the cre• ditor may attach any money or goods belonging to him which he can discover within the City. If he recovers before the money is paid, he must give security to the Court, that if the defendant dispute the matter within a gear and a day, he ( he plaintiff) shall answer such suit. But the bank of Messrs. Couto, where Mackenzie had lodged , the above sum, being without the City.,notke of this action was served upon one of the partners ashen in the City transacting business; and the Recoanza ruled, after hearing the argument, of Messrs. BOLLAND and Lew on either side, that this service pithin the City *ought the ease under jurisdiction of she enlist. Mr. Wilkinson, a clerk in Con ts's bank, said the de fendant had lodged in the bank the sum of 1,3101.14 r. 3 d. and the Jury, under the direction, of the Recorder, ,found•a verdict for the plaintiff, to that amount. SIR WU. DARDS TODD, ENT. 1•• COM' LINSINGIN. This was an action uisdrr similar circumstances, to recover a suns lodged by defendant (*ho was indebted more than its amount to the plaintiff) in the bank of Messrs. Hoare, of Lombard-street. It appeared that the defendant had left the country, and chit Sir Wm. Todd had brought an action against him for its recovery in the Court of King's Bench, Westminster, end reco-' vered, the defendant suffering judgment to go by default. The Itscostord, under these circumstance!, directed the Jury to return the r verdict for the defendant, as. the cause of actin did not arise in the city. It would not, however, prejudice the plaintiff's claim, if ever the defendant returned to Cheat Britain, xs he could sue up execution on the Count's person, by virtue of the judg ment of the Court of King's Bencfl. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Unman 11. tin KING V. AMUCK AND ANOTAIIL Mr. CLARKSON moved the Court, that defeddants, JoKn Block and Hartley Ackland, against whom the Grand Jury bad found true bills for keeping a common gaming house, in King -street, St. James's, be required to put in extraordinary bail, did give 48 hours notice to the prosecutor. The application was grounded upon an affidavit, stating, that if the defendants were allowed to put in the usual bail, they would in all probability forfeit their recognizance: from sessions to sessions, and thus avoid coming to trial. The affidavit also stated, that the defendant Ackland was likewise the proprietor of the gambling establishment lately discovered in the city of London; aad it was represented, that if the do. fendants were to barricade themselves in their premises, it would require a considerable force to take them ;ntp custody, from the manner in which their establishment was secured. The CHAIRMAN inquired whether any bait had been put in, is the course of the prosecution; and whether it had been instituted by the pariah or by a peigawiedi vidual? Mr. Cii.a.axaos said that no bail had u yet been given; the prissecution, he believed, was commenced by a person who had lost a considerable sum of money. The CKAIIIKAN thOUSht it would be right to wait until the end of the Ses,ions. if the defenJants did not come in to give bail before that period, perhaps the Court ought to depart from the usual course, and de mand extraordinary bail. At present he would'merely make an order, requiring them to come in and give ,notice of bail, reserving to himself the consideration of the amount. The Cover was occupied during the remainder of the day hearing cases of assault, which were destitute of any importance or interest except to the litigants themselves. Nearly all the cases in the traverse paper being disposed of, the Jury were discharged until Fri day morning. , COURT OW COMIIOII PLIAS.—The workmen are now employed altering and enlarging the Court of Games hens In %Westminster ileU.

Sunday afternoon, whilt some children were playing with one of the stone rollers u•ed in the meadow at the bottom of Salisbury Crags, Edinburgh, a girl about seven years of age fell, while her companions were dragging it, and the roller passed over her body and crushed her to death. Yesterday a Commission of Lunacy was held at Gray's Inn Coffee house, to inquire whether James Alexander Robertson, E,q. was of-unsound mind, and incapable of managing his.propet ty. Captain Young. husband, and other witnesses, proved a number of ex travagancies in conduct' and conversation, committed by Mr. Robertson, who is a young man of 22, both at Oxford and in town. Among his whims, one was, that he was a candidate for Westminster, where, he said, be was sure of his election, as the people wanted a man of abilities and independent principles. According to the evidence of the landlord, with whom he lodged in Ca vendish-street, he used to get up early in the morning and blow a born, and when a crowd collected throw water over the window. He fired a pistol repeatedly out of a back window, and nearly shot the landlord's son. Whea the father remonstrated, he observed it was an affair of no conseqeence, for if he had shot the boy, it would have been only a verdict of" accidental death:' Dr. Fox and Sir G. Tuthill stated their opinion that the unfortunate gentleman was quite insane. The Jury returned the following verdict s—" That James Alexander Robertson bad been a lunatic, and incapable of managing his affairs, since the 31st of August 1824." . f." IIXECITTION FOR MURDER. • LANCASTER, San. to. This morningthe last sentence of the law *at carried into effect. by the dreadful and ignominies, death of Robinson, who was convicted on • Friday last, of Ike wilful murder of his wife, aught:glum near Gar stung, about 111 miles from this town. Pebble com ssiseration was strongly excited for the, fate of this happy man, although these could be no dobbt of his grulu'let still there were some circumstances attending his case more favourable to him than to those who mostly snfer by the hands of the executioner for a si milar crime, and Mr. Justice BAYLIT, in pronouncing the dreadful sentence, observed to the wretched culprit, " that his wile was not altogether unblameable.' It seems that the unfortunate man was a widower when he married the woman of whore murder he was convicted. add had by his first wife four children, who were odor. innately afflicted with the King's Evil, one particularly so, and upon this shocking affliction she was in the habit of tannins; him. His wife was possessed of some pro perty. we understood, producing about 501. a year, and he himself was possession of from 1001. to 1501. the latter be deposited in the hands of one of the turnkeys. to be appropriated to the benefit of his *flirted children. From the time of his entering the Castle, the culprit was particularly energetic in his devotional exercises. He invariably kept himself irons the society of the rest of his fellow pritooira, and was in the habit of pacing the Castle yard by hinaself;absorbed in deep thought. and when in his tell his only companions were the Holy Scrips tures. Mr. Rowley, the worthy and Rev. Chaplain of the Castle, was par ticularly attentive to him,and the unhappy man always appeared relieted when he presented him self. :Robinson, in the tourse of his conversations with the Rev. Gentleman, admitted killing his wife, but de clared most solemnly, that at the time he was be ating her he had no intent to murder her, and repeated the many causes she gave him for his resentment.—On Sunday last, divine service *as performed In the Chapel of the Castle, by the Revs Chaplain, at which the malefactor was present, and appeared particularly devout and attentive. In another pew sat the family of the Heyworthr, who are also under sentence of death, sad Wilkinson, for horse stealing, who received sentence on Saturday. 'They all appeared truly penitent, and awake to the awful doom that awaited them. Jane Scott was amongst the females, and her demeanour smiled quite the contrary to that if her fellow prisoners. Mr. Rowley visited the unhappy man many times during the day. and administered that spit heal comfort necessary, awl at about eight o'clock in the evening lie left him alone to his private meditations, apparently truly penitent and prepared to meet his fate. Long Wore the hour of execution arrived, the Castle• parade, and the Church yard of &Mary's, were thronged by persons from all parts of the county, particularly about Gentling and its neighbouring townships; where the culprit had lived for years, anxious to witness his Mal exits and every place from which a view could Imbed of the scaffold was occupied. The roof of a tempests* d, where some stonemasons worked, was throe.. brit the High Sheriff, fearing that by the weight of the crowd the building might give way, and serious acci dents arise, ordered it to be cleared by the javelin tam At about seven minutes past eight o clock the unhappy man was led from the Chapel. in the Castle, towards • the gallows, the Castle bell tolling at intervals as Its proceeded. He walked with a very unsteady step, and seemed very weak. His countenance presented a very ghastly appearance. His arms , were pinioned very tight, and he walked . to ibe•platforna with the fatal noose about his neck. On, ascending the drop, he glanced slightly at the assembled.crostd, and then took his stand under the fatal beam, and at once surrendered himself up to the executioner. The cap was drawn over his face immediately, and the rope attached to the chain (which is. constructed after the plan adopted at the Old Bailey). The unhappy man stood for nearly five minutes after these preliminaries bed been gone through, in the most painful ingiety, before the drop fell—when it did fall, The culprit dropped full fotir fat, and was dead in an instant. The crowd, after some few minutes elapsed, gradually dispersed, and, we are happy to say, withoot any accident occurring: His body hung for an hour, and was then cut down and delivered over to the surgeons for dissection.. Howse or tenuaraz, costx.--A woman of the name of Alice M'Guire, abont.7o years old, who bad bees an inmate of the institution for 12 of 14. years, sought to be discharged.

A few days ago, Mr. WILLIAM RATIIII4 of Birkby, his wife, and brother, were attacked by an ass, in Birk by-lane near Huddersfield, which seized the back part of the lady's dress in his mouth t be was instantly knocked down by Mr. Rayner, with a large stone, who repeated his blows, aided by his brother, till the ass ap peared to be dying. They then dragged him dohs a steep bank, and lett him in strong convulsions. They had not proceeded far, however, when the ass was again on his legs, and in pursuit of the party, who, to save themselves, leaped over a wall, which they had scarcely done when he arrived, and attempted to scale the wall, but was knocked down with a stone, and soon after expired.
