THE ARMY. Tw6 troops of Ale 3d Dragoon Guards arrived at CaitWe yesterday. Fear troops ifid the head-quartets of the same Regiment will arrive at Nevretistle-upon-Tyne to-morrow and Monday next. Three compel& of the 64th (Derkshire) Reg Intent of Foot General 0. Isliettou.s Colonel, arrived at Sunderland on the 11th inst. and three other eontpanres of the same Regiment reached that place yesterday. The East India Company are raising a Corps of Artificers for tutu:sive eetvice on the Island df St. Helena. The number is Baited to 120 privates. THE LIFE GUARDS, ARD OXFORD BLUES. 01D1RS MUMS Dr THS TOUCHING THE ' OP TIM ROYAL HOUSEHOLD. When the two Regiments of Life Guards and the Royal Re lenient df Dorse Guards, or any two of these Regiments or De tathtnents fmm any of the three Regiments above named, or any two of them shall be together on the same duty, they shall• be considered as one Corps, or Brigade. These Regiments, or any of them, on the Kisn's duty in London, or where the Court is held, will receive the Orders of, anti report to, the Sovaattou, through the Gold Stick in Walt lag, or in such manner as his Majesty may please to appoint. When it may be judged expedient to dispense with the pre sence of the whole Brigade, one Regiment, in rotation, will be stationed in country qua, tors. The Regiment so detached from the Brigade will follow the Orders of the COUMANDER4N•CHIET, or of such Gent tal or other Officer as may cam:sand upon the station, or in the quarter, or or camp; and may be brigaded with his M.ssarre's other Regi ments of Cavalry, and take their share of any duty, in the same manner as has been the case of the Royal Regiment of Horse . Guards, when not on the Kuna's duty in the Metropolis. 'The detached Regiment will be liable to be reviewed and inspected by General t Scars appointed for that service, in like manner with his Niaaarres other Cavalry. Nothing in this Order is to affect any existing privilege or re gulation which has been given, or made, to or for any of these Regiments, in regard to their Colonels receiving the orders of the Soveasunc, touching the succession and promotion of Offi cers, Finance, Clothing and Equipment. Recruiting and Re saount, Discharging Men, and casting Horses, or otherwise. At a dinner at Earl G***.'s, on Wednetday se'n v;ght, a Gentleman stated that he had witnessed an extraordinary circumstance of a carp eating turkey ; upon which Lord Eas****, who was present, replied, he saw nothing wonderful in the thing, as he had all his life known a Turkey carp-ate. When FOUCHE was made a Minister of Lows the Eighteenth, and CA nxor was banished, the following Llcanic notes passed between them. CAnNOT wrote, " Whither am I to go, traitor?" FOUCHE replied, " Where you will, idiot!" The violent animosity against the English nation, at the tertninatitm of the American war, was nowhere more remarkable than at Philadelphia. After the articles of peace had been signed, and while a British man of war was at anchor in the roads, it happened that a poor puppet-show keeper was exercising his rotation on the Quay.--" Here," said he, " you may see General Washington and the King of France riding on horseback, and George th'e Third on font." Avast there!" exclaimed a British tar, who was swaggering about on shore with a pipe in his mouth, " what's that you ate jabbering about King George?" -" Here," reiterated the man of wires, " is General Washington and the King of France on horseback, and the King of England on foot, all to be seen for _j one penny !"—" D-6 your eyes, then," thundered I Jack, " now you shall see them all swim togethere and with ene kick sent the box and the puppets into the briny flood beneath. The unfortunate Yaakey made vieleat remonstrances against the destruction of his inoperry, shrewdly guessing that there must be some treason in the .rind against - Congress. The' populace, which had assembled, as usual, on hearing the uproar, were highly exasperated, and poor Jack would have paiLi dearly for his loyal principles and ill-OmA joke, had he not suddenly leaped into the sea, (lived under a boat, and concealed himself on the other side till the storm which he raised had subsided. The Chief Magistl ate of a small but loyal seaport and borcargh town lately threatened to commit " a %Ipr common fellow," as the police reports have it, to jail, for a seditious asseiti.ar, lA. that "the KINO was born without a shirt l" A Gentleman in a stage-coach passing through the city of B—, and observing a handsome edifice, in quired of the driver what building it was? the driver " It is the Unitarian Church."—" Unitarian !" said the Gentleman, " and what is that?"—" I don't know," said Jehu, " but I believe it is in the opposi lion line 1' The officiating Clergyman at Astley Chapel can not restore due subordination among the auxiliaries since a late dispute. Last Sunday afternoon, the re fractory singers were informed that other singers had been appointed, and that they must quit the pew. They resisted the mandate, claiming a right to their teat; but said, that if a little singing was all that was required, it should be performed. They accordingly struck up the .119th Psalm, and actually sang the whole of that long composition, consisting of 176 verses, which lasted till seven o'clock . in the evening. e—Blackburn Mail. A couple having, during the week, given notice to the clerk of one of the Chapels in Whitehaven, that the banns of their marriage were to be put up, and un derstanding that their names must be placed for three successive Sundays on the Chapel doors, requested .that, in that case, they might be fixed behind the door, as the Act did not forbid it. This is not unlike Lord RCCHESTER'S evasion of the Lamp Act, who, as elirected by that Act, had a lamp placed before his door, but never lit it, as the .Act did not specify that it was necessary to do so. A few days age, a young Lady, in the neighbour - hod of Carlow, trying an experiment on her neck with a silk handkeschief, to ascertain the nature of flanging, stopped the circulation of blood, so that she fell senseless ; and were it not for the timely assist ance of a Gentleman who was present, might have paid dearly . for n her extraordinary curiosity. • The following whimsical epitaph was inscribed on the tomb of a Dancing-master at Brynylls, in Breck nockshire: Man's life is a vapour, and full of woes; Be cuts a caper, and down he goes! BOROUGH INTCHEST.—The late Lord SANDWICH having the privilege of appointing a chorister in Tri nity College, Cambridge, sent them one not only ig rlrnant musk, but who croaked like an old raven, bee4use he had a vote for Huntingdon. This gave rise to the following epigram: A is singing man, and cannot sing, 'Front whence *rise your patron's bounty ? (;:ve us a song Excuse me, Sir, •• My yoke is in soother County I." • PRESTON Cu ILA SEPTEMBER 11. The Grand Selection of Sacred Music was per• formed on 'Monday evening in the Parish Church, which was filled with a brilliant assemblage of rank and fashion. A Grand Miscellaneous Concert was given last evening at the Theatre. The greatest preparations are making for the Masquerade on Friday. The Theatre on Monday evening 'was graced with a'very splendid andience. The Vauxhall Gar dens Bowling-green was also very numerously at tended, to witness the magnificent Fireworks of M. Hengler, the King's pyrotechnist.' Preston is still very lull of company, but few of the principal fami lies having left. MIL LIVINGSTON'S AERIAL ASCENT. FURTHER PARTICULARS. Pregon, Tuaday, September W. The ascent of Mr. LIvINOSTON, on Monday, was truly magnificent. The balloon, which for a short time was obscured id clouds, again bioke forth, and rising into the horizon with the sun-beams playing full upon it, presented a very beautiful effect, not unlike a 'oall of gold, or the pictured representation of a comet. Its progress did not appear to be very rapid, but quite steady. At , about live minutes past three it was seen descending, and was generally sup posed to be in the neighbourhood of Blackburn. It appears that Mr. LIVINGSToN, finding he was fast gaining upon the rising land, and being very desirous of making his descent upon the level, began to open the valve, when he had been in the air about twenty minutes; and being, as he conceived (for the objects below were not at that time distinctly visible), nearly over Blackburn, and at the height of above three miles. The balloon for some time descended very gradually, until coming near the earth, Mr. LIVING STON could make an observation, and found -he was on the slope of a valley; he now threw all his weight upon the valve, and descended with great rapidity, throwing out, as he came near the earth, his grappling-irons. He fell at five minutes past three o'clock in the afternoon, in a field between Stonyhurst and Blackburn, within two miles of Whalley, called Billington Moor, on the left of the high-road.— The balloon was- dragged along by the wind over two or three fields, on the edge of a slope, and in its progress the grappling-iron tore up everything that impeded its way. Three husbandmen, who had on the first, appearance of the balloon ran to the spot, endeavoured to throw the grappling iron round a' tree, and succeeded ; but such was the force with I which it was driven along by the current of air, that the tree was torn up by the roots, and one of the men, in attempting to bold the balloon down by the ropes, had his hands completely scarified. At length, after several dreadful rebounds fiom the earth, Mr. Lt vtisoaroN was thrown out of the car, at the height of eighteen feet from the ground, and fell upon his I side, which, we are sorry to say, was much bruised. The balloon it was found impossible to secure, and it rose again on being relieved from the weight of Mr. LIVINGSTON, and was driven in the direction of the German Ocean, distant about 120 miles, over the borders of Yorkshire. There is strong reason to hope, however, that it may fall before it reaches the main ocean. Mr. LIVINGSTOR met with the kindest attention from those who witnessed his fall, and was immedi ately placed on a horse and conveyed to Whalley ; thence he proceeded by the coach to Blackburn, where his bruises were dressed. On Tuesday morn ing he arrived at Preston, a good deal fatigued, and a little lame from the bruises on his hip, but other wise in good spirits. A fire broke out at four o'clock this morning in the back part of the house of Mr. Goudwin,l4, Norton Falgate, fancy biscuit-baker. On its first being dis covered an alarm was given to the inmates, but the fire was raging with such fury that it prevented them from coming down stairs; they, however, made their escape along the parapet, in a state of nudity. By this time several engines had arrived, and a plentiful supply of water being ready, the flames were extin guished, after doing much damage backwards, and destroying part of the front of the house. Yesterday morning, as the workmen of Mr. CoR• DER, the builder, in Vauxhall-road, were slacking a quantity of lime in the cellar of a newly-built house, they left a great heap together whilst they went to breakfast, and at their return found the first floor and kitchen staircase all on fire, the lime having ignited in their absence. The fire was got under with the assistance of an engine, which immediately arrived, but not before considerable damage was done. Wednesday se'nnight, at Hexham, Sarah Turnbull, aged 86, accidental - 1y set the curtains of her bed on fire, and was so severely burnt in endeavouring to extinguish the flame that she died next day. Yesterday afternoon, as a party of musicians were upon an aquatic excursion down the Thames, the boat was upset by the strong current at London . - bridge, and the whole party being thrown into the river, were carried with the tide a great distance. Happily Covington, an expert waterman, happened to see the accident, and succeeded in picking them up, before any sunk, or got into the dead water. He carried them to a public•house on shore, where they dried themselves, and from thence proceeded home. Letters from Monte Video of the 2d of July, were received yesterday, which state that a Proclamation was issued on the preceding day by the Commander of the troops, declaratory of the intention to adhere to the Cortes at Lisbon, and against a union with Brazil. This step is said, however, to have been partly com pulsory, and produced by the interference of the Offi cers of the European Regiments. The Proclamation also calls upon the Brazilian soldiery to co•operate with them; but to this they were believed to be strongly disinclined, and serious consequences were anticipated from the difference of political feeling among the troops of the two countries.

Yesterday a Vestry was held of the Parish of Sr. Mary, Lambed", the Rector, the Rev. Joan D'Ovt.ev, in the Chair, to consider of the expediency of selling the Estate of Pedlar's Acre, belongin g . to the Parish, and to apply t h e proceeds hereof for sites, enclosures of but ial-grounds, and other purposes connected with the works going on for the building of new Churches. This estate, as stated almost fabulously., was left in the year 1531, as a bequest by a blind pedlar, but his precise object is not actually known. Stew's His tory of England gires the_following description of the ancient Church of Lambeth : " In the east window k painted in the glass the effigies of pedlar and his dog, who gave one acre of land to the Parisi, now called Pedlar's Acre, on condition the said picture or effigy be from time to loss kept ep and in good repair. He also gave In money sCe per annum for ever : and to the then Archbishop £lOO, Rector £2O, Clerk and Sexton. each £lO. The figure at the Pedlar atop remains in the Church and Vestry, and the Churchwardens have no doubt considered it as the tenure by which they bold the land of Pedlar's Acre, and have with ewe and attention preserved and renewed the painted glass and die effigies." Some doubts, however, have arisen whether the land was ever bequeathed to the parish, because. it 'seems, the tablet of benefactions is not explicit on this subject. It• was hoped that yesterday's discussion would throw some light on this curious subject. The proposal, however, did not appear to carry much re spect to the memory of the donor. The RECTOR opened the business of the Meeting in the usual manner. MK LETT strongly opposed the proposition for converting the Pedlar's-acre from the original pur pose for which it was designed by the donor, which was, that it should be appropriated for certain cha ritable purposes within the parish. It certainly could not have entered into the donor's head to apply it for building purposes, and why should the parish con travene his intentions? Besides, he said, they must have a Bill in Parliament to enable them to alter the appropriation of the money—a mode which was both expensive and inconvenient; and he thought on the whole it would be much better for them to raise money in a different manner. Mr. WILLIAMS, in a long speech, differed from Mr. Lett, and concurred in the propriety of the measure. The RECTOR was of opinion, that it might be ex pedient to sell this property ; he doubted whether the money required could otherwise be obtained with so much advantage to the parish. A Parishioner contended that they had no power to sell this property, which was originally bequeathed for a specific charitable purpose. Mr. LETT entirely concurred in that view, and cited the original registration of the property in ques tion, to strew that if they attempted to sell it, they would be liable to an info rmat i on f or suc h an act. Mr. HOITICY, Mr. WILLIAMS, and other Gentle- men, had a very long discussion ; and it was at length resolved, on the motion of Mr. Lett, That It is inexpedient, at present, to dispose of the Pedlar's acre Estate for the purposes mentioned in the notice." This Resolution was agreed to, it being understood the matter would be discussed on a future oacasion.

His Lordship had taken 40 to 1, in fifties, that he would, one day of season 1822, from twelve o'clock of one night to twelve the following night, kill 40 brace of grouse, on his shooting-ground at Felar, at the head of Aberdeenshire, and afterwards ride to his seat at Dunnotter and back to Fehr, a distance of 140 miles. Exactly at twelve on Sun day night three watches were set together, and put into a box-by the umpires, Tomtit', Esq. on the part of Mr. FA aQIIHA &SUN, and Captain lisactair on the part of Lord KENNEDY; Mr. 11 /NG referee. At four in the morning Lord KENNEDY began shooting, attended by a great body of Highlanders, drawn toge ther from curiosity. A great deal of rain had fallen in the night, which made the hills very wet, and the bitds wild. 'lhe first bird was killed at a quarter after four, and the whole 40 brace in four hours and 41 minutes. After shifting his wet clothes, and taking some refreshment, he mounted his horse, and started for Dun notter, where he arrived at two o'clock ; having rode the seventy miles in four hours and a half. He remained about an hour there, and got back to Felar four minutes before eight at night, performing the 140 miles in ten hours 26 minutes, and winning the match by four hours and four minutes. The whole was done, shooting, riding, &c. In 15 hours and 56 minutes.— He returned to Castletovrn that night, a distance of 14 miles, by ten o'clock; making the whole distance on horseback 154 miles. His Lordship did not appear fatigued. Everything was against him : the grouse are uncommon strong and forward title season; the road is anything but good—the first four miles a mere mountain sheep track, and the remainder very hard and stony, with numerous short sharp hills. ROWING MATCH. A very ably contested match for the Blackfriars' Wherry, given by the inhabitants of Christ Church Parish and the Surrey Road, took place on Wednesday. The wager was contested in a very admirable manner, and was at length won by Lenhani, by a very great exertion of strength. He was placed in his wherry, which was put on springs, and in the evening, during the per formance of the Grand Barletta of Tuns Tug the Waterman, at the Surrey Theatre,he was presented with his prize on the stage, amidst shouts of applause. The boat was conveyed on a four wheeled carriage through several streets, and attracted a crowd of spectators. The following is a copy of an anonymous letter, which has been addressed to R. MARTIN, Esq. M.P. " Smithfield, September 12, 1822. i i Ma. Mitten—Take hede to yourself, and let dune that gets hard bred by the bests live. What do we drovers do to harm you—and why hurt poor honest lads that gets an honest bit by the cattle—Skippy Williams is a good fellow, and no body's enemy but his own, and though as how he spent three yen it Newgate, Mr. Browne : gives hint a good and honest cha racter. That sheep he broke the jaw on was DOM' of yours, and there is not a drover in Smithfield that would not do the like to an obstinate thing that would not stop, but run a way. I saw the butcher that killed that very sheep, and there was not any mark on the lines or sides of the sheep ; so I says, and will prove before the Lord Mayor, that the sheep got no harm. Mind yourself, busy fellow, and not turn spy, or we will serve you j ust as you Ilirish serves any spy, that is—to beat the life out on you ; so now take a friend's hint, and do not disturb Smith field by sending honest boys to prison fur no harm but just a ' little knocking of cattle about. Nobody hi Smithfield will look after you; but if you makes yourself too busy,' I tells you that you shall get a does death." Thursday se'nnight, Adam Hope, aged 90, was drowned in the river Wear, a little way below Keepier, near Durham. He had been gathering bramble berries on the water side, and had fallen into the water. He was shortly after taken up, bat the vital spark had fled. Extract of a' letter from Bahia, dated July IS :- 4 , The works for the defence of the city proceed with gi eat order and rapidity : all the slaves that can be met with ate compelled to labour at the trenches; the preparations will in a short time be complete.— The situation of the General, however, is every day becoming more arduous and difficult. The native t‘oups, which were disarmed in February, have al -1 dost universally fled to the neighbouring posts, to join their countrymen in arms; and a great many of the Brazilians, enrolled in the city regiments of 'Mi litia, have followed their example; even the European battalions have not been without. desertion.

BOXING QUALITIES! - - The following is the opinion of the Author of Lawn : " An Irishman fights before he reasons, a Scotehman reasons before he fights; an Englishman is notpartirsalar as to the order of precedence, but will do either to accommodate his customers :" CRICKET. Friday last a single wicket match was played in Culvert's Close, sear Winchester, between a young man, a chaise-driver, and a young woman who officiates as cook at a neighbouring inn; and so dextrously did the latter handle both bra and ball, that it was confidently anticipated she would have given her adversary a good boating. The match, however, was not decided, and will be played over again, in consejuence of Jc4u placing his leg be fore the wicket, which produced a wrangle between the parties. Monday last, a second match was played on Milberry Down, Hampshire, between eleven of the fair damsels of Cheritun Pa rish, and the like number of the Parishes of Beauworth and Kil miston, which was won by the former, by 28 tuns, after much good play on both sides. ASS-RACING!!! Yesterday morning a concourse of spectators assembled in the Borseferry-road, to witness a match, made fur £5O, between Caleb Baldwin and John Barton, to drive two hackney-coaches, drawn by asses, from Pimlico to Vauxhall-bridge. Each was to drive his own coach ; but as Baldwin was a lighter man than the other, bets were in his favour. They started at ten o'clock. The scene was both amusing and ludicrous. Baldwin had a whip-thong with a quantity of nails attached to its Barton had his reins also curiously interspersed with sharp brads, and each used them dexterously. Baldwin won the match, after much exertion, amidst great applause. • 4 / •
