We understand that a new Brevet is setticd, and is forthwith to take place, viz. An Lientenant-Generals down to Lieutenant-General Wur, Tr, :dusive, to be Generals. All Major-Genarals dower to Major-General F. HUGONIN, to be Lieutenant-Generals. All Colonels, down to the Hon. Colonel CHARLES WILLIAM Srsvrasr, to be Major-Generals. All Lieutenant-Colenels, down to lIIT TAYLOR, to be Colonels. HER. The Brevet is also to include an advance of Majors to the rank of Lieutenant• Colonel, and of Captains to be Majors, but we have not heard the precise period to which these two last are to come down. The one 7 e believe is to descend to the end of 1800, and the other to the end of 1802. By the above Major-Generals CHABLIS CRAWFURD Zr,d F. HUGONIN quit the Staff. The recent Brevet on the occasion of the Jubilee, mixes the present appear singular ; and, therefore, 'ye hear, that it is supposed to be a compliment paid to the army by Sir DAVID DUNDAS, previous to his resignation as Commander in Chief. The rumour is, that it has been offered to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, but that he has not yet signified cis assent. This morning several parties of that gallant Regi tent, the 81st, passed through Town on the recruit ing service, for different parts of the kingdom. Monday, an elegant l pair of colours was presented . to the centr a l b a t ta li on o f t h e O x f or d s hi re local mili tia, by their Colonel, Sir E BAYNTON SANDYS, Bart. Thursday last, the regiment of Oxford Volunteer Infantry, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel CURSON, Was inspected and reviewed by Colonel At:BitEY.-- Nearly 600 men were under arms. The Oxfordshire militia are ordered to Dover, to succeed the West Middlesex. The General Court Martial assembled at Maid !tone on Tuesd a y l ast, f or t h 6 T r i a l o f Robert Child 'flan, a private in Captain WrsE's Company of the Bearsted and Mailing R eg i ment o f Local Militia, closed its proceedings on Wednesday.

The Public Breakfast at Dandelion, on Wednesday, exceeded any thing of the kind we have witnessed for years, at such an early season : upwards of 700 persons, of the first distinction, were present, among whom we noticed Lady lanowts, Lady ILFORD, the Hon. Miss BURTON, the Officers of the Stirling Mili tia, of the 91st, &c. &c. The regularity and excel lence of the country dances reflected much credit on the Master of the Ceremonies, Mr. CHARLES BERNARD. TANDEM Cum—The second meeting of the 18th Hussar Tandem Club took place on Saturday. These military fehus left Deal in the following order : Captain CLEMENTS—Captain ELLis—Captain JONES—Captain TVRING-Captain JOHNSON. We understand two of the most favourite whips were prevented joining the cavalcade from indisposi tion. The above charioteers drove from Deal through Sandwich, to Dandelion. After partaking of the plea sures of this elegant and rural spot, they paraded se veral times through the principal streets of Margate before they drew up to a sumptuous dinner, provided by Captain TURING, at Kidman's.

Tlie replacing of the stones on the church spire has commenced, and we expect that a few weeks will see its completion, and the restoration of this beautiful and picturesque addition to our scenery. A duel was to have taken place on Tuesday se'n night, between two Officers quartered at Maidstone, which was prevented by the interference of the Peace Officers. The parties were taken before a Magistrate and bound in securities to keep the peace. Lieutenant LEVER, who w a s wounded in a duel with a Mr. KNYVETT, in the neighbourhood of Dor chester, on Friday se'nnight, died of his wound on Monday, and a Coroner's Jury has delivered a verdict of wilful murder against Mr. K. who has absconded. The parties were nearly related. The real name of the gallant defender of Ciudad Rodrigo, is KEUAGHTY, a native of Ireland. The disaster which happened on board the REPULSE man of war, off Toulon, has been greatly exagge rated. A letter from on board the Bombay, dated May 23, and which ship was in company with the Repulse when the untortunate accident occurred, states, that seven men and one boy were killed, and nine men wounded. The following is a striking instance of the increased I value of timber :—ln the year 1565, the inhabitants of Lewes resolved on pulling down their Town-house, or Session-house, and rebuilding it ; and for that pur pose they purchased 75 tons of timber, at 2s. Bd, per ton ! The timber taken from the Hall now pulling down is valued at from 3s. to 4s. per foot. The growing crops of wheat, a Correspondent in forms us, look remarkably well in the countiee of Herts, Bucks, Bedford, Lincoln, Nottingham, Nor ifolk, Suffolk, and Essex, promising fair for an abun dant crop ; and the store granaries are remarkably full of all kinds of corn at Norwich, Yarmouth, Bos ton, Lincoln, and Nottingham ; which cause the country markets to drop fast in price. It is generally . understood at the Corn-Exchange, that there are at this time not less than 300,000 quarters of Wheat in the country. Notwithstanding the return of confidence in the commercial world, which we have noticed, and which continues undisturbed, the Funds experienced yester day an unexpected and still unaccounted-ior depres sion. The Omnium was again at 1 per cent. discount, and Consols left off for money, at 68}, and for the August account at 69. The number of bankruptcies between the 26th of December, 1809, and the 23d of June, I SlO, as an nounced in the London Gazettes, amounts to 671.

Wednesday, the sptltt was greatly superior to what has been experienced here for several years past.— The Town Plate was run for with much spirit, pro ducing three excellent heats, in the last of which Di mity and Mr. Prince's colt came in neck and neck.— The circumstance of Little Jack falling at the turn of the course, dismounting his rider, and running com pletely off the ground, operated as a temporary draw back on the amusements ; but the rider fortunately sustained no serious injury. Mr. Addy's St. George won the Sweepstakes by something more than a length. Thursday, three rood heats were run, for the Ste ward's Plate.—Besides the match mentioned in the list, another, for 50gs. was run•br Mr. Lee's bay horse against Mr. Selwyn's bay mare—three heats— won by the former. The sport of this day was excel lent on the whole, much superior even to that of the foregoing. On the return from the races on Wednesday even ing, a distressing accident occurred in the upper part o Moulsham. A man, being rode over, had his thigh broken, and received a severe wound on the forehead. Sir Thomas Leonard, Bart. who happen ed to be passing at the time, humanely ordered every ' attention to be paid to the unfortunate sufferer, and by his means surgical assistance was immediately procured. Yesterday, an interesting looking young man was charged at the Pubic Office, Hatton Garden, by a young female, with robbing her of Bank Notes, value R 27, and most of her wardrobe, with which he was proceeding to Dover, but was brought back by the vigilance of the officers. He was remanded for re examination. The Earl of HARRINGTON'S porter dropped down dead on Tuesday night, in his Lordship's Hall, while trimming the lamp. He was only thirty-five years of age. BELL-RINGING.—As m any arguments have been held in various parts of the kingdom, respecting the weight of the two great peals of ten bells at St. Mary-le-Bow Church, London, and St. Peter's Cathedral, at York, (generally called the Minster), we have had the weight of each bell, in each peal, handed to us from our Correspondent, J. P. and when founded, viz. the fine peal of ten bells at St. Mary-le-Bow Church, Cheapside, London, were cast in the year 1762, and opened, on the 4th 4y of June, by the London Col lege Youths ; and the noble grand peal of ten at York Minster, were cast at the same Foundry, at White Chapel, London, in the year 1765, and are allowed to be the primest ring of bells in the world, and opened on the 12th day of August by the St. Peter's City Youths, from Norwich, with 1600 chaagea of Bob Royal.

A. adjourned Court was held yesterday, befue the Right Honourable Sir WILLIAM Scot; Baron WOOD, &C. John Brodie stood capitally indicted for a most de testable offence committed on the body of Thomas Alexander Weir, a boy, on board the Susanna brig, on the High Seas, and within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty of England. It appeared from the testimony adduced in sup port of this abominable charge, that the prisoner was Captain of the brig Susannah, which sailed from London, bound for Fayal, and while lying off that - island in the month of May, he perpetrated the offence with which he stood charged. It did not appear that any notice of the case had been taken until about a fortnight after the arrival of the brig at Liverpool, when the boy communicated it to the ship-keeper, through whose means the charge was formally m ida before a Magistrate, and the prisoner was consequent ly apprehended. It would be impossible to enter into the detail of the process brought forward in tLis atrocious case, without offending the delicacy of our Readers. It will be sufficient to mention, therefore, that in conse. guence of a disagreement in evidence between a black sailor, who was cook on board the ship, and who spoke English so badly as scarcely to be able to con. vey his meaning in adequate language to the Court and the prosecutor, added to the want of other corro borative proofs, the prisoner was acquitted, but de tained to an.wer to another charge, for an offence of a similar sort, committed on another boy, and on board the same ship, and during the same voyage. As this charge, however, was not laid capitally, the prisoner is suffered to be at large at bail, himself in 4 1 '200, and two sureties in £lOO each. The prisoner is a remarkably well-looking elan, about thirty years of age, of genteel appearance, and was, within the last nineteen months, married to an amiable woman in Scotland, of which place he is a native. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. THE KING. V. W. HODGES, WHITMAN, TAYLOR AND 01 HERS. The defendants, five in number, had been conic. ted at Bow-street, as vagabonds, for carrying on a Little Gu Lottery, at the house of Hodges, who was a principal, No. 117, Pall Mall. A common informer, of the name of Lake, of Hyde•street, laid the information ; and Sharman, his witness, proved that Hodges had given him a plan of the drawing of the Lottery, and that he paid Whit man money for. insurance. The other defendants we creatures of the fraudulent firm, who aided and assisted in the drawing of the Lottery. The defen dants appealed against the conviction, and on Wed nesday, by appointment, Messrs. MARMOT and ADOL• Pitus were heard for the Appellants, and they took several objections, which were over-ruled. The Court confirmed the conviction, and the Chair man, after descanting on the enormity of offences of this description, which went to impose on and distress the needy and unenlightened part of society, senten eed the defendants to six months imprisonment each in the House of Correction. A few nights since the warehouse of Mr. Day, prin. ter, in Goswell-street, was robbed of a large quantity of wove paper. John Clue, of Bottle-hay-yard, St. John -street, Clef.- kenwell, and another man, entered the garden ground of a gentleman in the City-road, a few evenings since, and knocked down the owner. The latter, however, having a blunderbuss near him, fired, when IS slugs entered the body of Clue, who is now in St. Bastho. lomew's Hospital ; his companion made his escape. Monday evening Mr. Nightingale, of the Noah's Ark, Oxford•street, opposite Old Cavendish -street, had his bed-room stripped of the sheets, a waistcoat, several pairs of stockings, some silver spoons, &s. with which the thief got off unperceived. Whilst some bags of rags were craning yesterday morning, near Bear Quay, Lower Thames -street, tho slings gave way, and the bags fell upon a soldier who was passing, by which he was much hurt, and was taken to the hospital without hopes of recovery. Last week, a bargeman of the name of &ism, who resided in Gloucester, was unfortunately drowned is the River Severn, near Framiload. He was employed with other., in rowing a canal-boat coming up with the flood-tide , when his oar breaking, he was preci pitated overboard, and his companions were unable to render him the smallest assistance. Thursday afternoon a child, two years old, fell into a pail of water, at Laytonstone, and was drowned. The Long Coach from Glasgow to Helensburgb, was overturned about two miles east of Dumbarton, on Saturday evening, and several of the passengers were considerably fain. Tuesday se'nnight part of the scaffolding erected for the repairing of the Abbey Church, Durham, gave way, when John Burdon, the only workman at that time upon it, unfortunately fell the distance of 74 feet. What is very remarkable, none of his bones were broken, though several large stones came down at the same time, one of which actually lay upon him. His head, we are sorry to say, is much hurt, yet hopes are entertained of his recovery. A boy about 11 years of age, son of Mrs. Cooke, a widow, who lives in the Strand, went to bathe yes. terday in the Thames, at the corner of Somerset-house. The wind and tide being strong, he was carried out of his depth, and disappeared. His situation being observed by a young man of the name of Jennings, he rushed into the river in his clothes, but was not able to find him. He then swam to a barge, which was close to the spot, and having stripped himself, he dived in the line where the boy had disappeared ; and, after some time, brought him up from the bottom of the river. This scene was witnessed by several boats passing at the time, which crowded to the spot, and seven or eight gentlemen who were in them lent their assistance in carrying the boy and his preserver OQ shore. The boy, who had been eight or ten minute immersed in the river, appeared quite dead. A phy. sician was immediately sent for, and the means re. commended by the Humane Society were resorts! tot and after some hours application, the vital spark was restored. He was then conve)•e I home, and was lalt night is a fair way to perfect recovery. rl
