VIVIAN, Mr. and Mrs. FREMANTLE. &c. fhessame suite of rooms were occupied as on Wednesday even :, which were again lighted and decorated in the most William ~:ner.

Vteraa. Lord GILAVES continues at the Lodge as i.t.rd in Waiting, i Masussiltas not continued his airings. YORK HOUSE. York House is now developing its form to every .! , ectattir who crosses St. James s and the Green Parks. It i,, as we have noticed, nearly two stories high, that is to say, externally, nearly er mpleted. Unlike London il,,oses in general, one of its distinguishing features is that of having four perfect fronts. The ground floor rusticated in straight or horizontal lines—cal;ed, we French rustics"---and above, the Corinthian order is adopted. To impart to it a palace-like ap pearance, diff.ring from the usual residences of Noble men, it will look to be only two storrei in height; for most of the sleeping-rooms, which are on the third floor, or in the roof, are, agreeably to the plan, to be c oncealed by a balustrade or parapet. • The grand entrance on the north side, in the square of Stable Yard, will be under an arcade for carriages, through which airy can drive, setting down as they roceed in eider. Above, there will be a portico or c oloanade, communicating wilt the principal floor. Toe south and west fronts are in the same style, but with etch a broad and handsome terrace—quite a new f:atio e in the archly cture of the metropolis. For a square house, without wings, we are informed that York House will be the largest in England. This will allow for apartments on the most magnificent scale, and such are laid out. The North entrance opens into an immense vestibule or hall, with a corresponding stair-ca,e, the steps of which are fourteen feet long ; the whole lighted by a superb lantern. On the ground fl , or are noble libraries, baths, bed-rooms for his Royal Highness, dressing-rooms, and all the common living apartments, in a superior style. The principal or first floor is occup•ed with splendid state-rooms, dining rooms, drawing-rooms, &c. and a picture-gallery, baring four fire places, and being 130 feet in Ittsgth. On the opposite side of Stable Yard a Mansion is building for his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence. It is not on a very large scale, and is, we humbly con ceive, too near the house we have kart been describing. W RTHER IMPROVEMENTS. The street projected from Northumberland House, (liming Cross, to the British Museum, has, it is stated to us, been cut short. The chiet improvement, how ever, will still be carried into effect. By taking down the north-side of the Strand, eastward from Sr. Martin's hip!, and demolishing some of what is called the Potridg. islands, St. Martin's Church will be thrown quite open, and the east or chanctl end will form a noble obj-ct for contemplation. By the entire removal also of the saddler's shop, and other buildings about the King's Mews, a surprising and beautiful change has beer► operate] in this quarter. The view from Charing Cross to the Opera House and Club Houses, &c. in' Cocksput-street, and Pall Mall East, is extremely fine. Sir HonsoN Lowe left Vienna OR the sth instant, to proceed to Constantinople. Last week, Prince and Princess POLIGNAC entertained large party at dinner. Amongst the company were the Right l lon. Mr. Secretary And Mrs. Caesium, the Earl and Countess of TANKERVILLIL the ATTORKEY-GENIMAL and Lady COPLEY his Ex. c.llency Princ e E steems:l ' Prince Merreamcn, and several other llistiuguished Members of ;he Corps Diplomatique. The Duke and Duchess of/CLitfteNce left their re sidence at Bushy on Wednesday, and visited the Duchess of Kmrr, Lt leer apartments at the King's Palace, Kensington, when his Royal Highness proceeded to his temporary residence in Charles -reet, Berkeley-square. In the afternoon, the Royal Duke re. turned to Kensington, and dined with the Duchess of KENT...— Me Duke and Duchess of Cs.a ems afterwards left on their re turn to Bushy. KING'S THEATRE.—II Crociato in Egiao was re• }mated on Saturday night. Between the acts of the Opera, a new Divertissement was performed, called i.e Temple de la Concorde. A pus de six that precedes the ellutpriohs of the principal dancers, is remarkably pretty. A pas de trois also by CouLoN and Mesde moiselles BuocAan and FLEUROT is very animated .and pleasing. Mademoiselle FLEUROT always dances well, and she did so on Saturday night, in spite of indis posititin. The Divertissement went off with spirit, and was much applauded. The ballet offratitte, when about half gone through, was interrupted by the fall of the curtain at the prescribed hour of twelve. The .Llslience was nusnelous. The diplommic agents of Russia, iu Germany, have (Ailed up on R uss i an su bj ects to take tite oath of alle ;,tAnce to NICIIIM.AS I.

The principal creditors of Messrs.

COURT OF CHANCRRY, Jaw. 21. CIIRISTMAS-ROX Mr. SOLICITOR GENERAL blAted, that a tradesman's wife,- in the town of Ortford, a ishin g to avoid being troubled, desired her servant to hiform every person wit° came to her house for a Christmas-box, and wished to see her (the wife), or her flatland, for that purpose, that they could not be seen, nor w..ttld any Christmas box be given. A creditor, unfortunately, just al t that time, called at the house, for the put pose of de manding payment of his claim ; but the servant, rrs doubt fits:eying he had called tor a Christmas-box, denied that her master was at home. Alter this denial, the creditor's solicitor, a young man who had never before been intrusted with the solemn business of taking out and conducting a commission of bankrupt, advi•ed a commission to be taken out, which was done. The tradesman had now sworn that he was perfectly able to pay all ffis creditors—that he never meant his servant should deny him to any creditor—that the advertise ment had not yet appeared in the Gazette, but was in tended to be put in to-nieht ; and that the first meet ing was appointed for Tuesday, and the second for Wednesday. The .petition prayed, that under these circumstances, the advertisement might be stayed till Tuesday next, that the matter might be allowed to be mentioned to the Court again in the interim, and that by chat day the proceedings mig7it be ordered to be produced here. Mr. MONTAGU was on 11. e same side. The applica tion was necessarily ex.parte. The servant had made no affidavit, but on time being given, there could be no doubt that she would state how the misuttder,tand• tug happened. His Loaustrtp considered the circumstances suf ficient to call f +r the order prayed, and, therefore, the prayer of the petition was granted. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JAN. 21. SHARP V. GREENWOOD AND OTHERS. Mr. SPURRIVR moved for an injunction to restrain the defendant from selling certain maps of the differelt counties in England. It appeared that the plaintiff and defendant had been j 'intly interested in the pro perty of these m4ps until November, 1821, when the plaintiff assigned his share to the defendant Greenwood for 2,0001. The purchase-money, however, not being then paid, the property was mortgaged to the plaintiff for that sum, and still remained charged with it. The defendant had enlarged the original plan, had taken a person into parttwrship, and was now about to sell the maps without the consent cf the plaintiff. This motion was, therefore, made to prevent the injury which he might in that case sustain. The Vica Cuauctu.ura asked if notice of the application for the injunction had been given ? Mr. SPURRIICit said the notice had not been given, and the plaintiff stated in his affidavit his belief that if he had done so the defendants would have immediately effected the sale, and he should have lost his money. The injunction was then granted. TADCASTEL( GRAMMAR SCHOOL. Mr. Pittazgaroa moved that the Master should be directed to approve of new scheme for regulating and disposing of the funds belonging to this charity. The school was founded in 1549, and endowed with a small manor, a part of the profits of which were to be devoted to the support of certain poor people. The school had, however, fallen into disuse; and although there was a master, he had no scholars. He was, how. ever, in the receipt of almost the whole of the rents, and the poor parsons indicated by the =sill of the donor received no benefit whatever. The present motion was .heiefore made to restore this institution as nearly as was possible, with reference to the present times, to the conditon which was contemplated by the founder. Mr. BA Piaci appeared on behalf of the schoolmaster. He stated that no person was eligible to fill this office but such as had graduated at one of the English Uni versities ; and he was moreover precluded from holding any other church preferment than the vicarage of Tad caster. The present schoolmaster, who was in all re. spects duly qualified for his office, had held it since the year 1792. The rents of the manor belonging to the charity amounted to 1401. per annum ; but even if it had been a much larger sum, he submitted that under the circumstances of the case, he could not be called upon to relinquish any past of it. lie reminded his Honour of a similar case, in which, after a conference with the Lord Chancellor on the suls . ;:ct, his Honour' had decided that the schoolmaster ought not to be de prived of the stipend which he had enjoyed, and that it should not be dimini-hed during his life. The Vice CHANCELLOR cencursed with this view, and said, that after the schoolmaster had held his office for thirty-four years. during which it was not improbable that he might have refused some other preferment in the church, he ought not to be de; rive,/ of any of the advantages resulting from his appointment. He there fore pronounced an order for referring it to the Master to approve of a new scheme relative to the charity— not, however, disturbing the life-interest of the present schoolmaster. COURT OF ADMIRALTY, JAL 21. GENOA PRIZE MONEY. The arguments in a case which related to a sum of 1,291/. the tesid.re of the prize-money accruing from. the capture of Genoa in the late war, now remaining, unpaid in the books of Chelsea Hospital, were concluded. The capture had been effected by the joint forces of his Majesty and the King of the "L'we and the dis tribution was made to the captors in proportion to the' force belonging to each Goveiument, under the Act of the 47th of George 111. chap. 47. and a war rant front his S'lajesty. 13y mistake, the late Sir Ro bert Hall, a Post Captain in the British navy, and who had the rank of Major General in the service of his Si cilian Alajesty, received his proportion in the former capacity. The Sielian Guvet nnient, however, paid his share as Major-General into Chelsea Hospital. It now became a question whether this sum should be repaid to Count Ludolf, the Neapolitan Ambassador, or be liable to the claims of the representatives of Sir Robert Hall, for the difference between Its share as Post Caw 'Ain and as Major-General (amounting to 5141) or be considered the property of the Hospital? Lord Srovizta. observed, that there were several diffi culties in the case, which required consideration. He would give judgment 045 a future day. We have received 1-14 Wax Papers to the 16th ult.

The garrison ditty in the mean while is performed by the 59th, who in a fort night will be replaced by . the Depot of the 67th, the 59th being under orders fur New South Wales. It is generally believed, that the intended reduction of the Royal Veteran Battalions in Ireland, is for the present abandoned, the ficiency these corps has arrived at, since the Short period of their being embodied renders them most useful, particularly the First Battalion. the Head Quarters of which is stationed in Galway. This excellent corps has large detachments at considerable distances, their present strength is eight hundred men, all whom are effective, and fix for any kind of service.—Cork Advertiser. INDIAN ARMY. GENF:IAL ORDERS BY THE COMMANDER-IN. CHIEF. Head-quarters, Calcutta, Aug. 4 29, 1825. At a 'Native General Court-martial assembled at t hedaba on the 22d of February, 1825. Shaicle Artois, Sepoy of the 5d Company 40th Regiment of Native Infantry, was arraigned upon the under mentioned charge, viz. " Iv. With ; - nOtitty, in having, at the Island of Chedubs, on the 9th September, 15244 shot, with his musket, Simla Forty A , la. homed, Hari'Jar of the said Company and Regiment, his superior Officer. " 211 y. With the murder of Shaick Fatty Mahnmed, Ifavildar, of the 3d Company 40th Regiment Native Infantry, at the Island of Chetluba, by shooting hint with a musket on the fth Septem ber, 1824." Upon which charge the Court came to the following decision : Orimoti •en Sasvenca.—" The Court having maturely weighed and considered Cie evidence in support of the prosecution, together with what the prisoner has urged in his defence, is of opinion that he is guilty of the whole and every part of the charge preferred against him, wh!ch being in breach of the Articles of War, the Court dues sentence him the said prisoner, Shalck Annis, Sepoy of the 54 Company 40th Regiment Native Infantry, to labour in irons upon the roads for the space of three years, to be discharged the service, and never again admitted." Ramree, May 27, 184.5, 10 A.ll. REVISION or Sariermea.—" The Court having re-assembled, in obedience to station orders of yesterday, pursuant to instructions received from his Excellency theCummander-in-Chief,communica ted in a letter from the Judge Advocate General, under date the 50th March, 1825, directing a revision of the sentence awarded Shaiek Annie, Sepoy of the 40th Regiment Native Infantry— " The names of the President and Members are called over, and being found all present, the letter from the Judge Advocate General is read and fully explained to them; and the points in elucidation to which their most particular attention is directed for serious consi deration, having been maturely weighed and deliberated upon, and appearing to them so unanswerably clear and decisive as to render them sensible that their original judgment, as already recorded and disapproved of, was founded in error, arising from a misconception of the laws as applicable to the case upon which they were bound most impartially to decide; and being now impressed with this conviction, they are necessanly constrained to reverse their sentence accordingly, and to adjudge the pri.oner, Shaick;Annts, Sepoy of the 3d Company 40th Regiment Native Infantry, to be hanged by the neck until he is dead, at such time and piaci:sas his Excellency the Honourable the Commander-in-Chief may direct." Approved, (Signed) ED WAIt 0 PA GET, General. Commander-in Chief in India. 11[11AZIL5 $1 Ate exerumme THU COMMANDIR-114•CHIIEF. The original award of this General Court Martial was founded on the great and most dangerous error, that irritation anti disap pointment, resulting from imagined injury, could palliate enormous crimes, and justify a Court in visiting the perpetrator of those crimes with conspahltively light and incommensurate punishment. It was under the conviction that the promulgation of such a sentence would have been pregnant with infinite mischief, that the Commander-in-Chief was pleased to order its revision ; and it af fords him very sincere satisfaction to end, that the Court, after mature reflection; have seen their.ercor, and most honourably and creditably corrected it, by passing a sentence equally demanded by justice and discipline. The prisoner, Shaick Annie, Sepoy of the 3d Company 40th Regiment of Native Infantry, has justly merited the sentence of death passed against him - but, under all the circumstan ces o f t h e case, the Commander -in:Chief is pleased to commute it to trans portation for life. By order of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, W. L. WATSON, Adjutant -Gen. of the Army. EUROPEAN GENERAL COURT-MARTIAL. ... Head-quarters, Calcutta, Aug. 17, 1825. At an European General Court-Martial held at Gawnpore on Tuesday, the 12th of July. 1825, of which Lieutenant-Colonel Mur ray, C.B. his Majesty's 16th Lancers, is President, Assistant-Sur geon Jelin Alexander Davidson Watson, of the .12d Regiment Na tive !Monett, was arraigned upon the undermentioned charge, viz. " That Mr. Assistant-Surgeon John Alexander Davidson Wat son, on being ordered, about the 14th of May last, to proceed In medical charge of the left wing of the 11th Regiment of Native In fantry, on its march from Allahabad to Lucknow, reported him self sick, thereby subjecting himself to the report of a Medical Committee; that there was not found any existing active disease to interfere with his, Mr. Assistant-Surgeon Watson's, performing the ordinary duties of his profession. and causing the wing of the 11th Regiment to proceed on its route without a proper Medical Officer,. such conduct being a disgraceful evasion of public duty, an d hi g hl y prejudicial to the service.' Upon which charge the Court came to the following decision : FINDING or ins Comm.—The Court having deliberately weighed all the evidence adduced in support of the charge, together with what the prisoner has brought forward in his defence, is of opinion that he is guilty of the charge, with excep t ion o f the words, " on being ordered, about the 14th May last, to proceed in medical charge of the left wing of the 11th liniment Native Infantry, on its march front Allahabad to Lucknow," in the former part of the count, and of the word " disgraceful," in the latter part of the count, of which the Court acquits hint. Seszcoce.—" The Court having found the prisoner guilty of so much of the charge—viz. of having repOrted himself sick, thereby subjecting hims.lt to the report of a Medical Committee, that there was not found any existing active disease to interfere with his, Mr. Assistant Surgeon Watson's, performing the ordinary duties of his profession, and causing the wing of the 11th Regiment to proceed on its route without a proper Aledical Officer, suck conduct being an evasion of public duty, and highly prejudicial to the service,, which being in breach of the Articles of War, the Court doth seri- fence him, Assistant-Surgeon John Alexander Davidson Watson„ to be reprimanded by pt• Excellency the Commauder-in-Chief." Disapproved._ (Signed) EDWARD PAGET, General, Commander-in-Chief in India. SWAMIES ST NIS TXCILLTFY Till COMMANDES-IN-CIIII:T. -The Commander-in-Chit:l disapproves of these proceedings, be , cause he does not conceive that a reprimand is at all proportioned to the conduct pronounced by the Court " an evasion of public duty, and highly prejudicial to the service." But if he were even of a different opinion, his Excellency could not confirm the sentence, as the Cour t h:ive inadvertently exercised an undue power in sentencing a primmer " to be reprimanded by his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief." The extent of a Courea power, in such a case, is to award a reprimand to be pronounced in such mode as his Excellency should direct. Assistant-Surgeon J. A. Davidson Watson is to be released from arrest, and return to his duty. By order of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, W. L.
