Saturday, the 9th Lancers were inspected and reviewed in the Green, of Glasgow, by Major General Sir Hussey VIVUN, and their appearance was altogether sulking and most excellent. It not being generally known that the review was to take place, the assentblage of spectators was not so great as might-have been ex pected, whether we consider the elegance of the Corps, or the popu larity of the General, who was in a very trying period on the Staff of Glasgow district. Detachments belonging to the 7th Regiment of Dragoon Guards, and the 12th, 22d, and 33d Regiments of Infantry, marched yester day morning, front Westminster for Bristol, on route to Ireland.

Sailed the Georgia, VARNUM, for Savannah. EXCURSION. TO THE NORE. Yesterday, some Gentlemen, friends to the unem ployed Printers, undertook, at their own risk, another excursion to the Nore in their behalf, determined that no exertion or industry should be spared to render their companim that assistance which their situation re quired. It. was supposed from a similar recent event that a total failure would have ensued : but, thanks to PROVIDENCE, a serene sky, and a prospect of a fine day, induced a number of unexpected passengers to join the benevolent party, when scarcely a third of the number of tickets requisite to bear the expenses were disposed of. At half-past eight, the Sir Edward Banks, steam vessel, slipped her moorings from off the Custom house Qlay, and in a few minutes brought us to Deptford, where we noticed two three-masted steam schooners, which we understood to be the vessels de stined to join Lord Cochrane in the cause of the Greeks. A little after nine, hove-to opposite Greenwich, where the band struck up Rule, Britannia. Some singing and recitations, with music, dancing, cards, and drafts, amused the company till we arrived off Greenhithe, where five of our British bulwarks were enjoying the repose of peace. Off Gravesend we were gratified by sassing close to the two Russian frigates which conveyed the money to this country to pay off the Russian Loan. They are fine vessels, one of them square-rigged, Eng lish fashion ; the other is equipped with fore and att soils in addition. About half-past two we passed round the Nore Light, and entered the Medway, passing round several of the finest vessels belonging to his itlajesty's Navy. Our band saluted them with little,Britannia and God save the Zing, and were cheered in return. At half•past three we repassed the Nore Light, and a South Seaman, with her yards braced by, ready to start for London, after a three years' voyage, who cheered us. In short, every one appeared highly gra tified by the minion. PAISLEY, AUGUST 26. Althcmgh the Report of the Sub-Committee for the last week strews that there is still a very considerable increase in the number of cases of dirtress, yet it presents one circumstance of a favourable character. It appears that the number of persons who have left the work given by the Committee, and found other employment, is greater this week than usual. It is also believed, that the distress in the country parishes, which was ma terially abated by the occupation afforded by the har vest, has not again increased. The mass of misery is, perhaps, now chiefly concentrated in Paisley and its suburbs, and there it is still very great. The number of families telieved last week, by labour given by the Committee, or by small donations of provisions, or money, was 2,229. Thursday, about mid-day, one of the houses on the south side of llillerston, the property of Mrs. William Adam, was discovered to be on Ere. The flames communicated to another house on the ~ .pposite side of the street, belonging to the same proprietor.--in Ince of every exertion that could be made, they were both totally consumed. The progress of the fire was so rapid, that the poor tenants saved but little if their furniture., blankets, wearing ap parcl, /W. having Elliot a prey to the devouring element. lly this sudden calamity three families have been ruined, and left in a state of utter destitution; in addition to others who have suffered consi derable loss by having their weaving materials destroyed by the fire, or in the haste of a removal. Last night, between 10 and 11 o'clock, a fire brok e% in the house of a person of the name of M-lienzie, in Green-street, Mile-end ,Old Town,• which destro)ed the house %%here it began, together with the building rejoining; but the early arrival of the engines pre vented further damage. ELOPEMENT. • - _~_ , .;. About three weeks lagO, the . Wile of Mr. —, a re• spectable tavern keeper in the City of London, eloped, in company of Mr. rro--, her plinholtrrirom Kir hus band and family, with property valued at betireen 5001. and 10001.' During the late election, Mr. the husband of the Lady, was engaged by a popular can didate for a borough not 50 miles from the Metropolis, to receive and entertain his London voters. His bill amounted to about 5001. He being indisposed, his wife went to receive the money, and she_gave a receipt for it in her husband's name. She rettiTned home, and in formed her husband that the bill would be paid on the following day; but the faithless woman went to the Bank of England, and obtained sovereigns for the bills she had received, and immediately went to the Tower Stairs, and proceeded with her paramour on board a steam packet bound for France. On their arrival at Boulogne they took lodgings, and on the following day she went to a Paris banker, who has a Branch Bank at Boulogne, and paid in 4501. in her maiden name. The husband, on discovering her baseness, in a state of distraction, caused by the faithlessness of his wife and the loss of his money, applied to Bow-street office, and gave information of her departure from his house with his property. Salmon, one of the claief r officers, was informed of the circumstance ; and in a few days after wards, by a cratfidential agent, he was informed of the arrival of a female of respectable appearance, and a young man, at Boulogne, and it was suspected that the female was the person who had eloped from her hus band with the property above mentioned. Salmon (he the orders of Sir Richard Birnie), with the husband of the frail fair one, set - off instantly for France, and they arrived on the following day at Boulogne. Salmon went to the office of the British Consul, and there he learned that when the money was invested in the Bou logne Bank, the British Consul, by some accident, hap pened to be present. The British Consul, having the certificate of the marriage of the parties shewn to him, and also the register of the wife's baptism, proceeded to the Bank, and stopped the payment of the money. The husband was overjoyed, in consequence of having, through the exerrions of Salmon, recovered his money, and no language can describe the feelings of the wife, and the disappointment of her paramour, on discovering that they had lost the property which she had carried off from her husband. Her paramour deserted her, and she is now in a state of extreme wretchedness. RUSSIAN LOAN, NEGOTIATED BY MR. N. M.

A man of the name of Oliphant, who, in a state of intoxication on Sunday last, annoyed the congregation of St. Nicho. las, Newcastle, by crying " Bell for ever !' In the church porch, was placed in the stocks for an hour and three quarters, to the en tertainment of a number of spectators. A Company has been formed at Leipsig, under the llperintendence of the Russian Consul-General there, for facilitating the purchase and transport of Saxon shifts, in order to improve the breed in Russia, and likewise to provide for the instruction of the Russian shepherds in the proper management of them. 42NERAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY.—A Meet ing of-the Proprietors was held yesterday at the City of London Tavern. H. Jou.ters, Esq. in the Chair. The Report of the Directors, which declared a dividend of 51. per share, having been read, several Shareholders expressed dissatisfation at a want of fulness in its de tails. Oa the motion of Mr. HARM, a Board of Con troul was appointed with the understanding that no sum exceeding 5001. should be expended without the con sent of the Proprietors. It was also stated that no fur ther time would be allowed to those who had not paid up their calls. Circulars have recently been issued from the Indict ment Office, by the Clerk at the Sessions•house, Clerk ' eawell-green, which announce that the approaching Session is likely to bss an extremely busy one, from the number of prisoners who have already been committed for trial. In anticipation of this result, it is now pro posed by the Clerk of Indictments to attend at the S.ts sions House upon two days (Friday and Saturday), the Bth and 9th of September next, from ten o'clock in the morning till four in the afternoon each day. Instruc tions for the taking out of indictments will then be re ceived by the Chief Clerk, for the purpose and to enable the parties so indicting to be in readiness to come before the Grand Jury on the morning of Monday, Sept. 11. Dutch Papers to the 30th inst. contain intelligence from St. Petersburgh to the 13th, and from Moscow to the Bth inst. The accomplices in the late conspiracy , who had been condemned to work in the mines, or to , banishment to Siberia, had set oat for the place of their destination in several divisions, under a strong escort. Several of them were accompanied by their wives. The lot of many staff and superior Officers, who were impli cated in the criminal investigation by participation in the treasonable societies, now entirely broken up, had been at last determined by an Imperial Order of the Day. They were not to undergo any sentence from the Criminal Courts, but only to receive correctional punishment. Most of them were to be placed under ' arrest for a fcw months and removed to other regi ments. The intelligence from Moscow only des:ribes the grand entry of the Emperor NICHOLAS and his Con sort in that capital on the 6th inst. The Emperor en tered on horseback with the Grand Duke MICHAEL on Isis right, and the Prince CHARLES of PRUSSIA on his left hand. An article from brussels, in these Papers, charges four French Officers, who had receiveJ mr,ney from the Greek Committee for their outfit to Gi eece, with having suffered themselves to be gained over at Marseilles to enter into the Turkish service, which they had done without returning the money. The Brussels Committee had written 'to' EYNA RD to endeavour to make such arrangemenii that the funds subscribsd for the Greeks should -not be applied to the support of their enerniet. DRURY.LAN'E THEATRE. The most active eAertions are already making prepa ratory to the opening of Drury.lane Theatre. During the recess the interior of the house, and the avenues leading to it, have been cleaned and repaired. The gilding on the front of the boxes and proscenium has been re-bur nished, and I est4red to its or iginal brilliancy. Theboxes. , of the first ti er haye.tieen . erliarged, by throwing into them the small private boxes, which were added when the theatre underwent alteration. The visitors to this circle will no doabt be gratified to learn that chairs are substituted for the front row, and greater space between the seats has been appropriated than heretofore. An entirely new stage has been erected, and Stanfield is now occupied on a new drop-scene—a landscape with an architectural screen—in lieu of the former bordered one. Beyond these but few alterations have been made in the house; but to the company, which comprises neatly the whole of its former favourites, great additions have been made. In Tragedy, Mr. SALTER, from the Liverpool Theatre, will ascend the throne vacated by MACREADy, who, as our readers know, is gone (or is going) to America, to take the place of KEAN, who will commence his re -engagement at this Theatre in January next. To this department Mrs. M , Grason, who ap peared a few yews ago at Covent Garden Theatre, has been added-'.aho Miss TREE (a sister of Miss M. TREE, now Mrs. ERADSHAw) who will shortly appear as Juliet, and Miss littoral's's. In comedy, Mr. Hoorn, from Liverpool, will undertake the line which ELLISToN'S secession has left vacant.— Mr. Sournwata., from Dublin, in the same walk, will take to the more subordinate business. Mr. THOMPSON (not the one already known under that cognomen) will sustain the heavy countrymen, the Tykes, (iiks, and that class, whilst the lighter parts of the same order are to be supported by Mr. EDWIN, from the Nottingham Theatre, a descendant of the celebrated performer of that name; he will make his first appearance in Zekiel Homespun, in the Heir at Laub In the operatical de partment, besides Mr. ERAHAM and Miss STEPHENS, a pupil of that Gentleman will shortly appear in Polly, in the Beggars' Opera, and Miss Tim, another sister of the Lady above named, will mike her debut as Susanna, in Figaro. Mrs. AUSTIN, belonging to this company some two or three seasons ago, is engaged ; and also a pupil of Crtavam.t, a bass singer. LISTON is engaged, and it is not improbable that MATHEWS will be. Nom.* and the Corps de Ballet are retained. WINTER'S Oracle is one of the forthcoming novelties which will be produced. Signora GARCIA is spoken of as likely to return with the new Manager Mr. Prucx, , from America. LIVERPOOL, AUG. 29. His Majesty's steam packet Etna sailed from hence at five o'clock this evening, for the first time, avith the Dublin mail, which excited considerable interest; for et this new regulation will give gr t commercial conve nience, and many advantages bot to Dublin and this place. Our piers were crowded with numerous specta tors, to witness the interesting scene. There was a strong tide against her, but she was only 22 minutes from her leaving the Cheshire side, opposite the town, until she rounded the Rock Perch. We had a very steady demand for Cotton yesterday, v! thcsales amounted to 2,000 bags, one-half of which were Egyptians, purchased by the trade at 7d. per lb. t -day has been rather a quiet day, yet a fair business been done, and the sales amount to 1,500 bags, without variation from former prices. . Our Sugar Market is in a queer state ; the importers not offering for sale, and the wholesale Grocers without stock, for they have been selling freely at little or no advance on former prices, with a view to keep down the, Market. One Broker, this morning, laid out samples of 158 hogsheads of Jamaicas; any one of the wholesale Grocers would have gladly swept the board at the prices fixed, but the broker wished others who were anxious for part, to have a chance of a share, and lots were drawn and the whcle were taken by these wholesale grocers at the prices fixed by the broker. Dry BroWns were fixed at, and sold for 58s. and others in proportion; but some of the better qualities would have been taken at a higher price than was fixed upon them. • There bas been a eonsiderabla inquiry for Dye-woods, Drysal teries, &c. but most articles are either held at higher prices, or not offering. MANCHESTER, Atm 29. . Cotton is much in w the same ay it has been for some time, with rather a tendency to look upwards. .... There has been alood dial done in the export trade of yarns, particularly in twist, and there is some little its= provement in cop-yarns, for steam loom weaving.— Steam cloths are more in request, and fully maintain their prices. Nankeens rather more lively, but no amend. ment in checks. Accounts from the North are more favourable. At Glasgow, the demand for yarns is rather improving. Upon the whole, affairs seem to assume, at present, a steadier aspect, if not•a bright one.— Tbe best and the lowest priced goods are most sought after; ones not much wanted. We have received a set of New York Papers to the 2d instant, by the James Cropper, arrived at Liverpool. They have been anticipated by the last ship of the London packet line. We understand an order has been sent to Monte Video from Rio deJaneiro, to permit merchandise to be bonded there for twelve months, paying a duty of 1 per cent. This will greatly facilitate vessels going there with goods for Buenos Ayres. It is said that an improvement is to be made in the packet communication with Jamaica, by the appoint- ment of two vessels instead of one, to sail monthli. A packet once a month will also proceed regularly with letters for Mexicr. The important undertaking of forming a Rail-road in the Isle of Portland, for the more easy conveyance of the immense blocks of stone from the quarries to the place of shipping, is now completed, and was opened for use on Wednesday last. _ _ _ _ . There was a Meeting of the new Catholic Association on Saturday last in Dublin, when several subscriptions were re ceived to the New Rent. for purposes not prohibited by law. Several sums were voted for the sustenance and defence of the forty-sbilling freeholders of Ireland. A Resolution was passed, on the motion of Mr. Slim, recommending an Aggregate Meeting, for the purpose of touching the old fund. This will give the Association agratifying opportunity of voting a large portion of the fund towards the relief cf their fami.hing countrymen, as ft cannot be better employed. There is a very prevalent notion that the body of a debtor may be taken in execution after his death. It was acted on in the cases of Wxwinca and SHERIDAN; and Miss &POMONA'S. makes it an incident in one of her novels. • There is no legal founda tion fur the cuAtenn. The idea has been once or twice refuted from the Mitch ; and the late Lord Ett.enstisoucx declared that the seizure of the body was not only perfectly illegal, but that it would render the Sherif or his Officer liable to punishment. The practise, however, formed part of the law of Prussia, before ft was abolished by the Code Fnde►ive. SPORTING •INTELLIGENCE. a . EDDA M RACES, Saone Dar, &tom 30.

Tuesday se'nnight, a trial of strength, at one of our ancient Scottish amusements, Putting the Stone, took place at the King's Arms Inn, near the Horse Barracks, Glasgow, when a considerable concourse of spectators assembled :o witness the scene. The stone weighed twenty-two pounds and a half imperial standard. Between twenty and thirty men exerted their abilities, very much to the satisfaction of all present, among whom were many amateurs of note, when two young men, well known as putters, both from the Island of Islay, were declared victors. They threw the stone tbirtr.one feet. nine inches, a distance seldom equalled. ARCHERY. At Flrle-plaie, on Monday se'nnight, the good taste of Lord and Lady Gage was made manifest by a grand display of Archery there, to which most of the neighbonting gentry were invited..— Soon after three o'clock a sumptuous dinner was served up to the company (composed of nearly 100 Ladies and Gentlemen) in the great hall of the mansion ; after which, about five o'clock, the Archery commenced, and was pursued with great spirit and plea. sentry 'until its close, when it appeared that the arrow entitled to the prize bad been discharged from the bow of Miss Campion, of Danny, at the distance of sixty yards from the target. Amongst the fair competitors of Miss Campion, we observed Mrs. Slater. Miss G. Band, a sister of the successful Lady, Mrs. Constable, bliss Partington, Mrs. Crofts, Miss Hooper, &c. The Gentlemen were— Lord Gage, Mr. Slater, Mr. Shelley, Mr. Campion of Danny, Mr. Canipion of Mailing, the Rev. Mr. Crofts, Captain Cro.is, The amusements of the day were followed by a ball and supper at night, from which the company retired, highly gratified, about twelve o'clock.—Dessex ildvertistr. Tuesday se'nnicht the ancient silver arrow, a subscription silver cup, and other prises, were shot for at Richmond. in Yorkshire, by ten Gentlemen archers, the targets, which were four feet in dia meter, being placed and continued at the distance of 102 yards. The sitter arrow and captaincy of the target were won by Mr. W. Kirkby, a member of the society of the Richmond, and the haute nantcy of the target by Mr. Wm. Reed, a member of the society of the Barningham, Archers. At the close of the day's shooting, the cup was awarded to Mr. William Kirkby. having the most central gold; Mr. William Reed was declared Captain of numbers; and Mr. Robert Thompson bore off the horn spoon. After the shoot ing, the archers, together with a large party of their friends, sat down to a sumptuous dinner, provided for the occasion by Mrs. Ibbertson, of the Gulden Fleece, and passed the evening with that spirit of conviviality which is characteristic of the manly pastime of" Archerie." THE RING.
