Tuesday a route was received in Enniskillen by the 75th Regi ment, for a diviAion to march on Friday for Wes:port, New port, Fusford, Killala, Crossmolina, Bonilla, and Ballycastle, to re lieve Detachments of the 10th Regiment quartered in those places, and now under orders for foreign service-we believe the Cape of Good !lope. The Headquarters Division will march for Castlebar after the arrival of the 62d Regiment in Enniskillen from Derry, which is expected to-morrow. The 75th have been little more than four months in Enniskillen, and during that time have been remarkable fur their correct and soldier-like conduct. The return of the 62d to Enniskillen, front whence they marched about six months since for Derry, is a source of gratification to the inhabit ants, and to the surrounding country, front which the augmentation was recruited, and a great portion of the corps made up. The following statement, we think, will be found correct, of the British Army employed in the Colonies and India : Bengal-15th and 16th Dragoons.

OLASSINOTON V. THWAITIS. The LORD CHANCELLbR went into his private room at 11 o'clotk, and proceeded to make a variety of ob servations in the case of " Glassington v. Thwaites."— He stated, that in an experience of 4.0 or 50 years in that Court, he had never met with a cause that had puzzled him more, from the entangled state into which it had got. He wished the Counsel had been present, for the case required a great deal of consideration, be tore he could make an order on the subject. Mr. Farquharson promised his Lordship to lay all the (*Ser►a. dons he might think proper to make before the Counsel. His Lordship then went into a history of the whole proceedings, from the commencement of the suit to the present time, but stated, that what he had just said was intended solely for the information of the parties in the suit, and to be laid before Counsel, and he therefore trusted, that h s observations would not be published, as they could not be made public without being at tended with great injustice. His Lordship afterwards disposed of several cases of no public interest. The Somme Gamut came into his Lordship's private room, and had a long interview with him in the course ache morning. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Seer. 11. These Sessions commenced this morning, before FRANCIS CONS; Esq. and a full bench of Magistrates. After the usual ceremonies of swearing the Grand Jury, the Chairman delivered a very brief charge to them, when they retired to their room. Henry Hawes was indicted for assaulting Elizabeth Martin.---The prosecutrix said, that on the 15th May two of the defendant's children came into her shop, and on finding them behind the counter, she gave one of them a box on the ear, and turned them out. The I defendant came up afterwards, and struck the prose cutrix, and beat her so severely that she was confined for a fortnight. Several witnesses were called, who confirmed her testimony.— The Court sentenced him to pay a fine of 101. with liberty to speak is the prosecutrix. The defendant said be would not pay Ss. He was accordingly committed. Zadiariah Wombwell was indicted for an indecent assault upon a little girl, named Harriet Beek, about 13 years of age. Mr. C. PHILLIPS stated the case for the prosecution. The defendant is a cowkeeper, and on the day stated in the indictment, the prosecutrix went to his cow shed to get sortie hay, when the defendant took her into a stable and committed the assault complained of, the particu lars of which are unfit for publication. The facts were proved by the prosecutrix.' and her mother said, that she told her of the assault the moment she got home. Mr. ALLEY addressed the Jury for the defendant. He pointed out some improbabilities in the prosecutria's story, and called their attention to the fact, that she gave no alarm, although the defendant's wife was near the spot at the time, and that no complaint was made until three weeks after. The Jury acquitted the defendant.—Several other trilling assault cases were disposed of. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Sunman 11. Captain Theophilus Patterson was opposed by Mr. HEATH on behalf of ten creditors for small sums. It appeared from the examination of the insolvent, who is a Gentleman of a very prepossessing appearance, that he was a Captain in his Majesty's marine service. His debts from the year 1805 to the present time amounted to the sum 4f 4351. of which 2601. was due to his agent, and the remainder to several tradesmen in Deal, Rochester, and that neighbourhood. The insol vent had been engaged in the blockade service at Deal from February, 1820, to May. 1823. At the latter pe riod he was put upon half-pay, but continued to reside at Deal till May, 1825. In the interval between May, 1823, and May, 1825, he contracted several debts which the reduction in his income disabled him from paying. In October, 182+, he was obliged to sell his furniture, the proceeds of which were paid into the hands of his agent. His agent offered to pay two shil lings in the pound to his different creditors; but as they refused to accept iq he paid over 3.51. to the insolvent's wife, with which she went to France with two of her children. It appeared from the charges made by the insolvent's agent, that the luggage which she carried with her weighed 9cwr. Being asked of what the lug gage consisted, the insolvent said, " that it was the clothing of his wife and children. and that an account of it was contained in the list of excepted articles an :sexed to his schedule." Being considerably pressed upon this point by Mr. HEATH, the insolvent said, that he conceived that the weight was so great, owing to the clothes being packed up in an old bateau, which of it self weighed more than lcwt. and which he had always used himself as a sea-chest. Ile positively swore, that there was not in that bureau any other property than that which was mentioned in his schedule, to the best of his knowledge and belief. His half . -pay amounted to 1271. 15s: but he had a wife and three children to main tain out of it. Oa his cross•examination by Mr. COOKE, it appeared that he had dealt with most of his opposing creditors for many years. To one of them, who now opposed him for a debt of 101. he had been in the habit of paying considerable sums ; and to another, a tailor, of the name of Clements. at Rochester, who now opposed him for a bill of 971. 4r. he had been a regular customer for the last eighteen years. His eldest son was now at St. Omer s, and about eighteen years old : his youngest son was at the Blue Coat school ; and his daughter, who was quite a child, was at present with his wife in France. He had been in the service for thirty years. Mr. }WTI! said, that he had been instructed to ap pose the insolvents discharge on the ground that he had ' conveyed to France considerable property net included in his schedule. As the insolvent had sworn that he had done no such thing, and as he was without witnesses to prove that he had, he (Mr. Heath) would now withdraw ' his opposition. He most, however, request the Court to order that part of his half pay might be set aside for the benefit of his creditors. Mr. Coosa implored the Court not to make any such order. The income of the insolvent was already suffi ciently straitened by the claims of a young and rising family ; and if it were to be further diminished, the only thing that could result from it was, that he must soon apply to the Court again to be relieved from his difficulties. The insolvent protested, with much feeling, that he had nothing, but his haif-pay on which to subsist his wife and children. Whilst he had been on full pay, he had been able to maintain them in creel t and respect shil ty ; and it was not till lie was reduced to hall-pay that he had contracted any debts which he was unable to discharge. Mr. lleATn then asked the insolvent what the net amount of his . half-pay was, as he knew that it was liable to some deduct ons. .. ' the insolvent ieped, cut ira; 12 1 71. ißs. hot foi l tome time past,• his agent, who had a considerable . ' claim upon him, had not allowed hirii to draw more than 87. 4 month. Lat erly, however, he had not per mitted his agent to receive his half-pay, and had, con sequently, received himself the whole sum which he had stated. After some conversation, Mr. tiaArH, in consequence of a remark from Mr. COOKS as to the length of time during wh ch the insolvent had been incarcerated, said, that he must request.the Cow t to . set aside 251. every year out of the insolvent's half-pay for the benefit of his creditors. Coosa then requested that this portion of the insolvent's half-pay might not be srquestrated till the next quarter; and after some conversation, this proposition was agreed to. The insolvent was then declared entitled to his discharge, BLANDFORD (DORSET) PETTY SESSIONS, Sirrzarns 9. —‘.—_ Present, Sir John Smith, Dart. E. B. Portman, Esq. M.P. J. H. Dattard, Esq. and the Rev. George Pickard. NEGLECT OF RETURNS TO TILE COLLECTOR OF AVERAGES UNDER THE CORN LAWS. Mr. Julia Biggs complained of Mr. Fryer's having made a purihase of 20 sacks of wheat, and neglected to , inform him thereor, and to state the price, as required under the Corn Laws. Mr. Roper proved, that on the 19th of August, he sold Mr. Fryer 20 sacks of wheat. The latter pleaded that he had sent the return by Coambes, the postman, on the 23d of August ; but the Collector also declaring that he had not received it, further time was given to Fryer.to prove that he had regularly sent notice. Mr. Bigp made a similar complalht against Mr. Randall, who had bought three parcels of wheat, and returned only one of them. Randall made an excuse, and said it was not an intentional neglect. Mr. POIITMAN said, that it was very important to the whole country that the returns should. be duly made. Out of three purchases it was very clear that only one had been made. It was the duty of the Magistrates to en able the Collector to make a proper return, which he could not do if purchasers refused or neglected to fur nish him with the means. The judgment of the Mae:- crates, therefore, was—that he should pay 40s. and 10s. costs, that being the lowest sum to which they could mitigate the penalty. IRRUPTION 01 FARMERS IRON HIONWAY DUTY DURING HARVEST. Richard Moore, Surveyor, made a complaint againit farmer James Althorp, for having refused to send his team to draw stones fur the use of the road when directed se to du by him, the Surveyor. The Farmer said that be wanted his team for other purposes, and that it was during the harvest. tdr. Poarmart—That is quite a sufficient plea. Every farmer is legally and properly exempt from statute, labour during the harvest months.—Tise complaint was dismissed. NOWPAYIERNT Or POOR RAVES. John Perry, a poor man, was brought up for not paying Bs. for puor rates. H. first complained of inability on account of poverty, aad next that the Over.l seer would not receive it without costs. The Magis trates said he must pay the money, but reduced the ' costs from 6i. to 4s. 6i. Mrs. Ann Horlock next came forward, and said, dd I come to swear the peace of my husband ; I am in fear of my life. He whet, Sir, a great knife and put it to my throat. He runs about the town, Sir, day and night, and when I ordered him to go to church, Sir, he said, d D—n the church and all that's in it' I told him to read his book, and he pushed it in my face, and told me to go to hell." It turned out, however, afterwards, that the husband had only keen home once during the present month, and then the wife complained that he had laid about all night, and broke open the door in the morning. The great grievance appeared to be that the husband was not very fond of the company of his spouse, and Sir John Smith thought it would be quite time enough to swear the peace against the husband when he was at home, and there could! be any danger of an assault. The woman then complained that the parish allowance was insufficient ; and the Magistrates desired that she should be employed where she could earn good wages; and ordered Is. 6d. per week to be paid for the support of one of her children, who was unable to work. This town is the centre of thirty-one parishes ; the in habitants of which resort to it as their mat ket-town and the seat of justice. The market is excellent, and the town one of the best in the county. It formerly returned two Members to Parliament, and the Quarter Sessions were held here once a year, until very recently. The inhabitants are greatly dissatisfied with the removal of this Court to Dorchester, and entertain the most san- 1 guine hopes that the ancient privilege will be restored to them. The inconvenience to the freeholders, who are liable to serve on juries, of attending at so great a distance, is found to be very great ; and it is in agitation to present a requisition to the High Sheriff for convening a County Meeting,that the freehol ders may have an opportunity of expressing their sentiments as to the propriety of holding the Sessions in four towns, as they Were held till lately, instead of one. The feeling on this subject is not confined to Blandford, but is even still stronger at Shaftesbury and Siserborne. The alteration was carried by a very small majority of Magistrates, and the freeholders ground their expectation of the orders being rescinded on the justice of the case—the great incon venience to the Jurymen—the injury to the several towns—and the fact, that the removal on a former occasion was only temporary. Tuz RECORDERSHIP 01 Bataror..—This situation was held by the late Lord Garoan. It has been erro neously stated, that the emoluments amounted to 2,0001. per annum. The Bristol Journal of Saturday says, that the gratuity is 100 guineas for the gaol delivery, which takes place only once in the year, a present of a pipe of port and a hogshead of Madeira wine, and free quarters at the Mansion House during his stay in the city. Tna Fonce or CONSCIZNCE.—A few days ago a young urchin was employed to cleanse the chimneys of a respectable mansion in the neighbourhood of Maccles field, and having ascended to the " summit of his pro fession," quietly and deliberately seated himself on the stack while he took a survey of the scene below him.— This completed, he proceeded to descend, but, unfor tunately, mistaking the flue which had been the field of his labours, he found himself, at his landing, in the private study of a limb of the law, whose meditations on some abstruse point were immediately put to flight. The sensations of both parties were such as it is impos sible to describe. Sooty terrified lest his intrusion should be punished by manual castigation, stood rivetted to the spot, and the lawyer struck dumb by reflections, started from his seat, the very image of horror and arnzement. He meditated flight, evidently, but spoke not. Sooty, how ever, soon found a tongue, and in accents which only increased the terrors of the man of law, crird out— My frythyr's commin directly l" This was sufficient; the pi esence of one such equivocal being, so introduced, wa, enough to unnerve the stoutest heart; and almost with tine bound the affrighted lawyer flew down the stairs, and in the secret corner of his kitchen, with the cook-ma.d as his body guard, sought refuge from the attack of the enemj. rAsHiolAnt iIsITELLMENct.

The Subscription-room this day was all bustle, the attendance of Sporting Gentlemen being more numerous than we have ob.. served for some months. Squaring of books was the first object of the leading speculatork, and this passed off without any thing to re mark upon. The betting proceeded with great spirit, but was chiefly on double events, and between horses, many of the books being full on the favektrites. Bedlamite has resumed his place ae second favourite, and seems to give a direct contrasiktion to the re port of his having pulled up lame after his lass sweat. Helloed is at the same point as before, but Mulatto is nut quite so good a favourite, his backers being rather shy. The others have varied but a slight degree, as will be collected from the following statement : 9 to 4 agst Belzoni 33 to 1 apt Siiortwaist 6 to 1 agsc Bedlamite 60 tot apt Garcia S to 1 apt Mulatto 1000 to 15 agst M.icAdam 12 to 1 apt The Dragon 1000 to 14 apt Fanny Davies 13 to 1 apt Paul Pry 1000 to 12 ago Thales 14 to 1 apt Tarrare 1000 to 10 agst Swiss Guide 15 to 1 agst Crusader 1040 to 10 agst liarrataria 30 to 1 agst The General 1000 to 50 apt Forth's Lot.
