THE ARMY. It is currently reported, in the high military circles, that an ars sangeni.nt is about to take place, very acceptable to the Army, shewing the COAIMANDER.IN-CIII2F'S gracious disposition to Its in _ terests, whilst he recommends a reward for past services to the needy het meritorious Officers who cannot get on by purchase.-- The outlines of the plan appear to be. that, in time of peace. for the sake of regimental duty, the Brevet is not to go any further down than the lieutenant•Cololonels ; but that in the other ranks there 14 in hr a promotion (as recently) on the half pay, viz Subalterns having served 15 years or upwards (and Nine as Lieutenants) to be Captains --Captains 21 years and upwards (and seven as Captains) to he Nitjors—and Majors serving 2 years and upwards (fix as Di4jors) to be LieutaiintsColonels on the half pay, from which they are to he replaced in the service by those young and active Offi era lately promoted; amongst whom the Field Officers are ge nerally those who have been Captains or Subaltern+ in the late war. Thus old Officers rutting in the service will be promoted on the half pay, from which the army will receive the young but ex perienced Field Officer+ now lounging about our streets and taverns. Last week Lieutenant General Sir J. Bravo, K.C.B. Commander of this district, inspected the temporary barracks at Bury, Hailing den. and Oldham, occupied by the 53d Regiment of Foot, and ex pressed his most unquAllified approbation of the judicious arrange ments by the troops, which, he said, reflected great credit on the well-regulated system preserved in that corps; he also expressed himself much pleased with the soldier-like appearance of the men. The Grenadier Guards and the 39th Regiment of Foot have been inspected at Manchester by the Hon. General Harris, who was highly gratified at the general appearance of the men, particularly of the Grenadier Guards, which is, we believe, one of the finest regi ments in the service. Detachments belonging to the 4th and 13th Regiments of Light Dragoons received orders to march this morning from Westminster, for the Cavalry Depot at Maidstone. A Detachment belonging to the 54th Regiment of Infantry is ordered to embark this morning on board a steam vessel in the River, for Gravesend, on route to Chatham. A Detachment belonging to the 6th Regiment of Foot is ordered to embark this morning on board a steam vessel in the River, for Gravesend, on route to Canterbury. A Detachment belonging to the East India Company's Service is ordered to em bark this morning on hoard a steam vessel in the River, for Graves.. end, on route to Chatham. The Transport Office is making arrangements to send out troops to Jamaica, and 600 men will embark at Newry for that colony in the course of next month. GENERAL ORDER. Horse Guards, Oct. 6, 1826.

This Order does not apply to the Officers and Men doing duty with the Depot Companies of Regiments on Foreign Service. By command of his Royal Highneu the Commander-in-Chief, HENRY TORRENS, Adjutant-General. The late Mr. CHARLES CONNOR WES an ornament to his profession, not merely for his respectable talents, but for the unblemished integrity of his private life. Ile was a native of Cork, and at an early age was induced, by an unconquerable love of the drama, to leave College and betake himself to the stage. He Las been much respected, both in his native country and in England, where his attractive manners and respectable conduct gained him many attached and sincere friends. Shenstone, who wasted his genius, nr:ant for better things, on pastoral poetry, and his fortune, given for nobler purposes, on his garden of the Leasowes, had a very awkward And clumsy figure for an Arcadian shep herd, or even for an English Gentleman. This was also the case with Darwin, who was particularly coarse and unc nth in feature, and laboured under a very considerable impediment of speech. Lord Lyttelton had a face rendered meagre partly by ill health, and partly by study, and also a slender uncompacted frame, which gave to his tout-ensemble a very ungracious and ungraceful look ; whilst Thomson, whom he loved as a poet and patronized as a man, "shone sleek with full - - crammed fat' of laziness, in spite of an unanimated coun tenance, and a large, gross, and uninviting carcase. It is recorded of Thomson, that in mixed company he • was almost always silent; a point in which he resem bled many authors of higher character than himself; • Butler and Addison will naturally recur to every man's mind. Dryden, whose colloquial talents are so highly extolled in the " Pirate," was altogether unconscious of the po , session of them—for in one of his minor poems • be frankly admits that " Nor wine, nor love mold ever make him gay, To waling bred, he knew not what to say. " And Corneille goes still further in a letter to Nilsson, and unhesitatingly c-nfesses that he was never heard with plessure except when he expressed his sentiments through the mouth of another.—New Mlorrtlrl r~ Maas Custom SERbION*C.— At St. Catharine Cre s Church, Leadenhall street, provision is made, under the will of Sir John Gager, who was Lord Mayor in the year 1646, f a sermon to be annually preached on the 16th of October, in commemoration of I.is happy deliverance from a lion, w:iich he met in a desert, as he was tra velling in tae Turkish dominions, and which suffered him to pass unmolested. the Minister is to have 20s. for the sermon, the clerk 2s. 6d. and the sexton Is. - The suns of 81. 161. 61. is likewise to be distributed arbong the necessitous inhabitants, pursuant to the will of Su John SpArrman. Among several instances of the same nature, mention is made of a pet son who, though he was Oro .% n down by a lion, and wounded in several places, vt as 4fter all, generously left with life. Thus it appe ITS, rise hon does not always kill whatever anima happens to be in hi: power. Thursday afternoon, Mr. Frederick Woodmester, an officer in his Majesty's service, on halipay, was found ileAd in Lis sitting worn. The deceased was apparently in excellent health, and had been out walking that morn. ing. .pii irtii.ning to his apartments, in Standgate, Westminster Road, he went into his sitting-room to write a k ter, and shortly afterwards, his landlady, on going to pre v are his dinner, discovered him lying on the filor a corpse. The deceased had Wiest from the c h air on which he was sitting, and died, it is believed, without a struggle, as no noise-was heard by the per sons who occupied the adjoining apartments. F SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING-ROOM, TATTERSALL'S, On. 16. The absence of the majority of the Subscribers at Newmarket occasioned a holyday here this day. At St. James's in the morn ing, and at the sporting houses in the evening, some slight betting took place, influenced by the accounts from Newmarket.

The great steeple chase between Captain Albert, Lieutenant Freemantle, and George Bouverle, Esq. took place on Saturday. It was.for 300 son. and excited great interest lu the sporting goad. The start took place at the top of Hatchett-lane, and Hurley-bot tom was about 15 miles, as a bird would fly, and the horses were nearly as quick. Captain Albert's horse, a fine hunter. made some good leaps across Maidenhead Thicket, keeping his opponents out of view. They came In well beat, and the Captain, as the winner, gave them all the hospitality the county afforded. NOVEL WAGER. A Gentleman of fortune, residing at Manchester , backed himself for 100 sovereigns to wheel a barrow one hundred yards, sooner than Captain Just, of the same place, could run it without such in cumbrance. The match was decided on Wednesday week, in the fol lowing novel manner. The Gentleman was to choose his own ground, and be turned up a small passage in Chorlton-row, which afforded the requisite length, and throughout so narrow, ;hat the wheelbarrow completely filled it up. Here he trotted leisurely behind his vehicle, much more to the amusement of the by-standee than to his antagonist, who could not, by any possibility, pass him, and won the wager without dillicuky. PEDESTRIANISM. Mr. G. Weat started on Saturdoy to accomplish that great undertaking of forty-eight miles in nine hours, the start to take place from the top of Sloanastreet, to the Buckinghamshire foot of Maidenhead Bridge, and to return to half a mile on the London side Hammersmith. It was for a bet of 100 govt. and 20 more that it was dune in 20 minutes under the given time. The pedes trian reached Slough (20 miles) in three hours, and reached half the distance in four hours and ten minutes. He returned back to the half way house on the Maidenhead side of Colnbrook, ate a hearty breakfast, and left himself something less than 12 miles in four boars. He won his match with 11 minutes to spare, and of course lost the second bet. The Duchess of KENT, accompanied by the Princess FIODOIIII. and attended by the Baroness de Seam= and Captain Coulter, honoured the Haymarket Theatre with her presence on Saturday evening. The Duke of GLOUCESTER returned to his seat at Bagsbot on Saturday from Lulworth Castle, where his Royal High ness had been staying on a shooting excursion. There is a great bustle in Glasgow in improving the harbour • it is to be made double the original width, and the river is deepen ing.; This will afford excellent accommodation for vessels, and permit them of very heavy burden to come up to that city. The harbour is at present upwards of half* mile in length, and crowded with vessels, a great part of which are steam-boats. In Heckmondwike market the demand for blankets is still brisk, and a great number of workpeople have in consequence got into employment. FIRIC.--Sunday morning, about one o'clock, the lower part of the premises of Mr. Brealey, dyer, Gar den-lane, Westminster, was discovered by the watch man to be on fire. He immediately gave an alarm, and with considerable difficulty succeeded in arousing Mr. and Mrs. Brealey, who slept on the first floor, and had retired to rest about an hour before. Several minutes of the most intense anxiety were passed, but, by the prompt assistance of some neighbours, a ladder was pro cured, and the whole family succeeded in escaping.— The house and back premises were consumed.—About seven o'clock yesterday morning a fire broke out in a house in Hartshorn-cnurr, Golden-lane. For a time it created considerable alarm, and was not subdued till the house was entirely subdued. MURDER OF MR. PRICE, Or MANCHESTER.--A dis cover), was made on Tuesday morning, in the ware house occupied by this unfortunate Gentleman at the time of his dec-ase, which may possibly be the means of leading to the detecion of his inhuman murderer. On removing a board which was 'placed ov,r a cul . - boatd, and enclo,ing !he space between it and the ceil• ing, in the room adjoining that in which his body sea., discovered, a small pistol was found, together with some powder, which had evidently been put these for conceal ment. The pistol was unloaded, and the hammer was down; but, judging from the evidence given at the In quest, it is not improbable that the deceased received bib ' death from this imtrumtnt. EDINBURGH, Ocrosve 14. --,........ The respectable tenantry of the Barony of Methel, anxious to thew their respect and admiration of the virtues and amiable dispo sition of Miss Wemyss, the daughter of their late revered Landlord, on the joyous occasion of her marriage to the heir of the noble house of Dysart, dined on Tuesday the 10th instant, in Mr. Terri's lava. Methel, and drank health, happiness, and long life to the families of Wemyss and Dysart. The company sat down to an excellent din.: ner, which was served up in Mr. Terri's best style. The following toasts were given from the Chair, which was filled by Mr. Peter, of Kirkland—Captain Black acting as Croupier: Lady Loughborough—health, happiness, and long life to her. Lord Loughborough —may he prove himself worthy of so amiable a woman. Captain Wemyss and his Lady —may his talents be always exerted in Parliament for the good of his country. Lord Rm.;lyn and the Noble House of Dysart. Colonel Wemyss and his Lady. The memory of General Wemyss. The Tenantry of Wemyss. A deputation waited on an elderly Lady, Mrs Kyles, an old friend of the family, with a cup of wine to drink Aliso Wemyss' health. She gave " Miss Wemyss—may she hae plenty of bairns, and may they be a' as weel brought hp as hersel'." The company. after spending the evening with the greatest hilarity and good humour, separated at a late hour, highly delighted with the occasion of their meeting. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Four journeymen tailors were brought up in one body, and fined 51. each, for being drunk and disorderly ; and several others were also brought up separately, and fined in a similar way. The Loan Maros observed that be had more trouble with Journeymen tailors than with any other class of persons, and added, that if all the different journeymen in the City of London were like the tailors, he should be compelled to sit from morning to sight, and from night to morning, in order to inquire into their cases. Immediately after this, a disorderly apprentice to a taller was brought NS charged with throwing the shears at his master's head, because the master chastised bins for neglecting his work.—The apprentice, after being admonished, was discharged, on a promise to behave better. A decent-looking man, named Menitt, complained Were the Loan Mayon of having been defrauded of a considerable sum of money, under pretence of its being invested in a supposed Company, called the " Cornwall and Devonshire Mining Company."—The complainant held twenty 100/. shares, upon which he had paid ltd. ' per share, and he had now received a letter for a further call. The complainant, in continuation, stated that be had already paid 5001. the proceeds of his own har d labouri by investing it in these shares; and, instead of the Company paying a dividend, u was held out to him, he had every reason to believe that no steps had been taken even to establish a Company. The LORD hlavoa advised the compWnant to go to some honest Attorney, and see what could be done in regard to getting hi, ' money back. Two cues, which followed each other yesterday, poisoned rather curious features. In the one, a man was committed for two months for substituting fresh fish for stinking, and, in the second, another was fined for substituting stinking fish for fresh. The first offender was one of the mud-takers who claim the stinking fish thrown over board as their perquisites, and he mistook a live cod, belonging to a fisherman, for one of his own dead ones. The second was a sales man who sold stinking sons, with a strong recommendation as being perfectly sweet. GUILDHALL. Destiel Maggot was charged with being disorderly. A certifi cate was found on him to the effect that he was a Member of the Primitive Methodist Society, had met six weeks, was a steady character, and had sufficient cause to remove • signed Jonathan Woodward, leader, Sheffield, May 29, 1826. This saintly personage was found in Smithfield, about eleven o'clock, on Sunday morning, mad drunk, stripped and anxious for a set. to. He was surrounded by a great crowd. _ _ Sir - Jinn Paa.nnin fined him 51. for being drunk, lamenting that the fraternity of Primitive Methodists were disgraced by such a brother, and expressing a fear that it ton often happened a sanctified appearance was assumed, where there was a great lack of the true inward spiritual grace. Bala Moniagste, Esq. of Bedford-square, a young Gentlemanovu charged with assaulting John Sandford, a labouring cornmeter. The complainant was passing through St. Paul's Church-yard at ten o'clock, on Sunday night, when the defendant, without the least provocation, gave hlm a blow en the head, and would have given him another, but for the interference of a friend. The defendant and his friend appeared to be in liquor. In the watch-house the defendant asked bin if he had paid for the boots he wore ; talked of writing a check for 10001. and promised complainant he would have to meet two Banisters before the Magistrate next morning. Mr. Montague told the Magistrate he was a water-drinker. The cornmeter, how ever, appealed to the Night Constable, who intimated the Gentle men had certainly been drinking something stronger than water. At the recommendation of the Alderman, the matter was settled by Basil Montague, Esq. paying the complainant ss. for his day's work. BOW-STREET. At the evening sitting, on Saturday, a man whore dress and man ners bespoke respectability, presented himself before the Bench, and requested the advice of the Magistrate, under very peculiar circum stances. He said he had been for a considerable time residing in Italy in the family of an Irish officer of rank, in the quality of tutor to the officer's son, but had been obliged to leave that country, without receiving the compensation which his services had entitled him to. The expenses of his journey bad swallowed up almost every farthing which be possessed of his own, and he was now deal. tore of a lodging, and also of the means of procuring ooe. • He arrived in London on Thursday, and the few shillings he then had were gone. 31r: Mtnnum said be regretted be bad it not in his power to render any solid or permanent assistance to the applicant. If be would not be offended he could offer him the price of a night's lodging from the charity boa of the office. The applicant said that, so far from being offended, be should be extremely thankful. Mr. Monnut.t. then handed the applicant a shilling from the charity box, and the donation was received with a bow (apparently) of grateful acknowledgment. This singular personage then left the Office. Mrs. Charles Grindell, the person who was most instrumental in plating her husband, Mr. Charles Bawd Grissdell, in Coidbath fields prison, for a very aggravated assault on her uncle and herself, attended yesterday morning for the purpose of giving in the names of two Gentlemen who have consented to become sureties for Mr. C. Grindell. The cause she assigned at this dice for endeavouring to procure his liberation, was his present insanity, the removal of which requires different treatment from that which can be pro cured in his present situation. TJtis Lady added, that after all the ill-usage which his uncle had received from his nephew, his affection for him still remains as ardent as ever, and he refuses to make the slightest alteration in his will, wherein he bequeaths two-thirds of his property to this nephew, though be has had several entreaties by most respectable persons to revoke his former will, and sign one which some person has drawn out, without receiving any instruc tions so to do. Mrs. C. Griadell having expressed a hope that no objections would be offered to the parties who have kindly offered themsaves as bail, quitted the dace. HATTON-GARDEN. George Butler, driver of a Paddington coach, was ordered to give 24 hours' notice of bail for grossly assaulting Mr. Moore. Complainant w as coming to town by defendant's coach, when ap prehensive for his safety, on account of the furious manner in which it was driven ; remonstrance having proved unavailing, he insisted upon being put down, when the prisoner collared him, tore his shirt, and knocked him senseless on the ground. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Yesterday Mrs. White, the wife of Charles Thomas White, who was committed from this office for trial, some days ago, on a charge of arson, applied to the Magistrate to be permitted to swcar to an affidavit which she handed in, denying that she had ever made any communication to, or held conversation with, Mr. Gore, the tailor is Holborn, on the subject of the fires at her husband's house, as Mr. Gore stated in his evidence at the final examination of the pri soner. The Magistrate, however, declined swearing her to the affidavit. John Provence, aged LS, was charged with attempting to set fire to the d4ughterhouse of Mr. Horner, in aare-market. The buy, . . _ . • on being placed at the bar, was recognized as being the rival of Wedgbury's celebrated dog Billy, and of rat glling notoriety. It appeared from the statement of Mr. Homer, that on Saturday evening his tnreman discovered a smoke issuing from the slaughter house, and knowing they had no fire ill the place, be proceeded to the spot, and discovered the boy, and one much less, in the shush. ter-house, and a quantity of straw on fire; the prisoner stated, he vas engaged' in procuring rats, and had stuffed some straw inter the 'lades, but his brother holding the candle too near to it, bad set it on fire. The foreman then let him go away; but sbnut tyre*. o'clock be again found him in the place, and he gave him into at ,. tody ; by what means he had entered the place he was net abl, to discover. This human rat killer said he wanted some rats to kill, a n d knowing the slaughter-house to be a good place to catch &cm, b e went there. His father said, that be had a propensity for killing rats from 1,4 infancy, but be was a very honest boy, and had nu other motive i ll going there than what he stated. Mr. Roc—lf you ►ad, instead of encouraging his propen s i ty .. sent him to school, and caused him to comprehend even the tom. monest ideas, you would have done part •f your duty by hiss ; whereas, now he rises not above his canine rival, for a more stupid boy I never met with. Mr. Homer must enter his charge apint him, and his foreman must attend to give his evidence, for I shall snake him find securities for his good behaviour. QUIZEN-SQUA RP. Henry Shields was fully committed, charged with stealing a slatwl from the shop of Mr. Hopkins, a linen draper, in the Broadway Westminster. Elizabeth Flack, upwards of 90 yearn of age, and who had eels dently seen better days, was placed at the bar, having been fauna sleeping on the steps of a door the previous night. She said, she had been a widow fifty years, and had come to London in the reign of George IL She was allowed half-a-crem e a week by the parish ; and the Landlord of the Duke of 'Vora, a t Chelsea, bad desired her to call frequently upon him; and Athtlty or no money she could have a pint of beer ; she had taken a pint, and supposed it had made her drowsy ; her husband had been once a tradesman in a large way of business ; she lived at No. 24, St. Ann's-lane, Westminster. The Magistrate remarked, it was humane of the watchman to have taken care of her, and discharged her. WORSHIP-STREET. J. Siarstas was charged with assaulting B. Smith, a watehmin, during an Irish row on Sunday night, at the top of Grub•street,in Chimell-street. It appeared, however, that the witchman was drunk, the prisoner was discharged, and old Cerberus severely re. primanded by the Magistrate. Jane Cameron, a fair frail one, was charged with robbing It. Clif ford, of 14s. The complainant inquired of the damsel his sir.) , to Whitechapel, when she took the opportunity of abstracting the above sum from his pocket. On being taken to the watch-house, she denied the fact ; but the constable being an expert accouchesr, on perceiving a swelling in her cheek, put his angers into her mouth, and safely delivered it of two half-crowns and 9s. but, as Warts. nately the cash could not be sworn to, she was dischat ged. LA MB ETII-STREET. Sarah Wilkinson and Mary Hartwell were re-examined, charged with robbing Mr. Tingey, a Smithfield salesman, of £430 in notes' , The prosecutor, whose age might be supposed to have damped the ardour of love, and whose garb and appearance resembled those of Liston, as Mawworas, met the prisoners near Smithfield Bar', and accompanied them to their rendezvous in Chick-lane, where having treated them with a qua*. suf. of ale, they proceeded to amorous dalliance, in which having spent some time, one of them for hive's sake (as the Irish term it) knocked him down, and feeling a greater affection for bis purse than his person, they divested him of the above property, when he set up a cry of murier, which called op the landlord, who at first appeared to sympathise with h.di, hut in a few minutes changed his tone, and opening the door, cri e d " O ut with you!" with which command the faithless damsels instantly com plied, leaving their love-lore Strephon to shift for himself. Lee, who apprehended them, produced an immense quantity of fashion able attire be found at the prisoners' lodgings, no doubt the protiuc don of their plunder, and they were fully committed. An elegant English Church has been opened at Moscow : there are 200 hearers. The British Turkey Company have been liberal in their donation towards fitting it up, and establishing a Gergyonan ; an elegant service of communion plate has been pre. seated to it by the British residents at St. Peter sburgh. TITHRS IN KIND.—In a parish in Dorsetshire, when the Clergyman demanded the tithes of gardens, a Gen tleman, occupying a small garden, refused to pay it, contending that the produce, after deducting the cost of labour, would not yield enough to satisfy the de mand. He was threatened with a suit in the Ecclesi astical Court, and paid the demand, rather than expose himself to a greater evil. DOCTORS AND WOMEN. Ye Doctors, I tell you, to us (and 'tis trite) The women are far more important than you; For without them to live any man I defy, But without your advice we can all of us die! BIRTH.

William Beal, aged 89, and on the 7th instant, Mary Beal, his widow, aged 92. This ancient pair lived together in wedlock the uncommon space of 66 years. Wm.
