Dine of CustazecAwn's regiment, the 15th Light Hussars. His Royal Highness arrived on the gr nod at twelve o'clock. where the regiment was Milne(' in line. The ground was kept by a party cif the 106' Hussars, the Royal Blues, and Life Gu irds. As soon as the PRINCE RKGENT alighted from his carriage, he mounted his charger, and, at tended by his Aides-decamp, and a number of Ge. metal Officers, proceeded ti the head of the line, the b playing " God save the King," and down the front, st.d tip the rear, and then took hi, station in front. The regiment immediately passed in single file., then tornied, and marched again in quick time, in squadrons; after which various evolutions were eiterieed in a style of military discipline not to be surpassed by Ally troops in the world. The regiment had inured a most noble appearance. Lieutenant- C ilanel GRANT gave the command. His Royal Highness expressed his high satisfaction with the millary appearance of the troops and the masterly manner in which their Eno-111110ns were performed.— After the review, his Royal Highness inspected a number of young horses, which have been lately purchased for ti'e regiment. There were presint their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of YORK and Castammus, birds HILL, BERESTORD, HARRINGTON, Carticaar, &c. together with a number ot General Officers: • Th.• Earl of DaCitrima, Sir E.

The Ist and 2d Guards came ewer with his Lordship, which were the last troops that were left in France. A. few Commissaries re mained to settle s me accounts at Baurdeaux. Major General Sir Roaster Wit.sorr, whose activity, spirit, and enterprising genius, made him very conspi twUs, andrendered him deservedly a tairiurite with the Emperor ALIMANDII4 during the late sat guinary campai-n in Russia, has returned to England:— Thisgailant Officer is arrived at his house in Montague. Square. The 4th Regiment of. Dragoons and the 15th (Light) are ordered from Liverpool to Dublin; and the 13th and 14th Light Dragoons are also held in readiness to embark at Plymouth for Ireland.

A Court-martial held at Bilboa on the sth of Fe bruary, on Lieutenant JAMES Dt•cr, of the 11th Foot, has found 'that Officer guill y of the Ist, 2d, and 3d, and part of the sth charges, for disobedience of orders,and neglect of duty, in quitting Santander, for endeavouring to draw off a private to England without proper authority, and for having quitted the town, leaving debts and demands of the inhabitants unsatisfied. The Court sentenced him to be dismis sed from the army, and rendered incapable of serving his Majesty again. . At a - Court-martial held at Rosendael, in Holland, otrthe 25th of January, on Lieutenant HENRY Go an4l KERET/MAN, of the Royal Artillery, for unoffi cer-like conduct itt breaking open a cellar near Ro sendael, onet,taliing out wine, and for employing an artillery driver in forcing the door, he pleaded guilty to ihe charges, and was ben tmced to be dismissed. his Nijest)'s service. The Pittsce REGENT has confirm- 1 ed both these sentences. 1 A Court-martial was held at Ipswich Barracks on the 17th of March, •on Ensign WILLIAM Powen, of she 2,1 battalion, .63d regiment, for insubordinate conduct. He was found guilty, and adjudged to be, dismissed the service, and rendered incapable of serving his Majesty. The PRINCE REGENT has con firmed that part of the sentence which dismisses him from the service. A General Court-martial was held in Edinburgh - Castle, on Friday', the 15th of July, 1814, for the trial of Dr. DANIEL LUDLOW, Surgeon of the South Manta Militia, upon the following charges, viz. rat. For deducting, receiving, end applying to his own woe lament a poundage on the price of the various articles furnished to the depot hospital as Mineelburgh during the period, from tat Slay 1514, to the Slat of the same month inclusive, particularly cue shilling hi the pound on the rise of bread, butchers' meat, ass, sugar, beer, vinegar, and barley. Sd. For deducting, or receiving and applying to his own eine bnueuts, Wert fifty penny, or thereabout, horn the charge of the washerwomen who was employed at the said depot, duting the shove period; the said offences being hurtful to the soldiers, as well as a frond sesinst the public, to the prejudice of good order sad discipline , sod in b reach of the Articles of War. The Court having deliberately considered the 'barges, defence, and evidences, were of opinion ' the prisoner is guilty of both arge'. in breach .of the Animist if War ; but it does not appear to the Court that, in the preseet instance, the poundage ex acted by the prisoner has been hurtful to the soldier, as stated in the ehargn, or a loss to the public, al. ONO the practice of taking poundage in any case the Court cannot but condemn, as highly to the pre judice of good order . and military discipline. The. Court does therefore sentence die prisoner, Dr. Da , Biel Ludlow, to be publicly and severely reprimand. ads in such place and at such time as the Comman. I&der of the Forces shall be pleased to direct ; and, alto, to be suspended from rank and pay for the pe. nod of three calendar months front the publication the maleness TIM CA4IV). N.1.811.51L Notwithstanding the fall of a few heavy showers last evening, the Parks again presented a scene of mirth and frolic. In St. James's Park there were several balls given in honour of peace, to which the votaries of Terpsicore were invited in the most press• ing tranher by the masters of the ceremonies, who promised the most admirable entertainment—All for the trifling admission fee of sixpence. The modern-' tion of this demand, of course, attracted the at tention of many elegantft of dw/i, who entered the ball-rooms, and were soon joined by beaux, whose anxiety to display their graces in the mazy dance set them in motion long before the fall of night. These exhilanions formed a considerable source of attraction,- and the performers received the warmest encomiums for the agility which they displayed.— The hOsts of the different taverns, however, found a woeful falling off in the demand for solids and fluids, tad perceiving that the great miss of the people pro ceeded to Jubilee Fair, in Hyde Park, they thought proper to follow the public taste, and the greater por tion of them prepared for emigration to that 44 Land of Promise," whither their tents and baggage were removed by the artillery drivers, and proper places chosen for their establishment, for which a fee, in proportion to the space of ground required, was ex acted. This accession of re:portability in Jubilee Fair added much to.the brilliancy and elegance of that motley festival, while it created a good deal of discontent among the more humble competitors for public pa tronage. From the multitude which flocked from all quar ters, a fair prospect of profit was afforded to all, and no means were lett untried to render their respective places of accommodation attractive. Scarce a booth was to be found without a fidler, a piper, a fifer, or a drummer, whose musical acquirements were kepr in constant requis tion, as a dance seemed almost in dispensable to the relish of a pot of beer or a bottle of cider; and according to the excellence of the mu sicians, the pationakm of the booths became extensive. In some places, the dancers were so completely, hemmed in by the crowd, that they had scarce room to move their " light fantastic toes" without coming in contact with those of the company, and as many of their pump/ were of a texture by no means of the lightest kind, some serious complaints were made ; and indeed not unfrequently the dance was changed trota the simple movements of a scotch reel to the mot e complicated evolution of the Spanish bolero, in which both hands and feet wcre brought into the most surprising activity, to the no small amusement of the spectators, but to the complete derangement of all harmony and good fellowship. The news of an in .ended prolongation of this scene of jollity to the 12th of August having spread far and wide, hordes of flying merchants of all sorts were seen pouring into the Park from all quarters, like so many Tartar families, carrying witk them all the paraphernalia of their barbarous camps. Thu tin ders have become so numerous, that it was bound necessary to mark out new ground, and in. cons-- quence the extent of the fair has been considerably increased. New cos* drootatiques have alb° arrived, and astonish the beholders by the wonders ot their 'several pe rformances . Stupendous , mur.i6cent,;mai. Osis'alynikteuriosities. ioreign as well as domestic', are hourly congregating in this vast field, for the en couragement of the adventurons, and no doirbt, ere the week elapses these will cot be a part of the Park which will not have to boast of some extraordinary and unparalleled exhibition. Printing-presses have already been established in various directions, from which the curious have an opportunity, with their own hands, of taking an im pression of a full, true, and particular account of all the sig;its with which John Bull has so lately been gratified. From similar presses may be had watch papers containing mottos and descriptions appropri ate to the singularity of the scene. Plates of Mr. Sadler's Balloon, representations of the Temple arid the Pagoda, and we understand that a party of these Knights of Me 7:Ofts have it actually in contemplation to establish a Jubilee Fair Journal, which is to con tain an account of all the occurrences, comical, tra gical, and political, which may mark the daily exis tence of the festival. While these comparatively innocent amusements prevail, there are other objects of attention uhich deserve particular notice, and these are the number. less gambling-tables which are every where conspi-, woos, from the crowds of the inexperienced which Rock around them to be plundered by the nefarious l gangs which are constantly on the watch for the an. wary. These principally consist of E. O. Tables, Black and White Cocks, Dice Tables, or what •is called Under and over Seven, and a variety of At* devices for swindling, in which the chances in favour of the cable owner generally exceed four to one. . Of the other entertainments to be found on all oc casions at public fairs, there is an abundance, and ups-and-downs, round-abouts, swings and highflyers, every where tempt the lads and lasses to 'a display of their agility, and among the latter many very curious exhibitions take place. A donkey-race, jumping in sacks, running for a smock, and other fashiosa& amusements, are in pre paration, and will soon be displayed. Among the throng collected to view the frolics of the fair yesterday, we observed many persons of dis tinction, who in their carriages or on horseback rode round the Park, and enjoyed the mirth which every where prevailed. Among others, we remarked Lord 4berdeen, L'urd Crawley, Lord Westmorland, Mr. Mellish, Mr. Lygon, Mr. P. Moore, Mr. Ar. Wynne, Mr. Tierney, &C. iltc. that During the jollity and tisk* is Hyde Park on Tnesday evening, the company were amused with a severe boxing-match, between a navigator of the name of Shrward and Matthew Dorrite, a coachman, which originated in a dispute at a booth. Dorrien had the worst of the battle at first, from free drink ing, and he suffered much about the head. Both were good hitters, and they exhibited much courage. The combat was maintained with much obstinacy forty minutes, when victory was declared in favour of Dorrien, who was yet the worst-beat. Yesterday die Duke of M0N71110411 arrived 'in town from Windsor, where his Grace was stationed during her Ma t rzatt's stay is. towns viz* BALLOON. CEURTIIIiR PARSICULARS•3 At twenty minutes past six, when the cords Which held the balloon were ready to be cut, it was found that the fastening which secures the network to the valve at the top of the balloon had by some means been disengaged, and was held only by a single twine. Under these circumstance., the new aspir int to ce lesaal excursions, Mrs. H. JOIIMSTONE, WAS informed that she could not possibly accompany Mr. SADLER in his voyage without imminent danger to both. Mrs. Jon:soon C, Still anxious to.ascend, expressed her hopes that means might yet be devised to admit of her :doing so with safety. The Duke of Wutallorosr. who conversed with Mrs. JnEINsTOXE on the subject, undertook to ascertain the fact ; and his Grace was so fully convinced of the danger, that he strongly re commended Mr. SADLER to decline his voyoge alto gether. The enterprising young aeronaut, however, was determined to go up, and he ascended about Cf minutes past six. Whilt.t the balloon was still hover ing over the Park, he threw from it a number of small paper parachutes, with jubilee favours attached to them, bearing various inscriptions. When above the London Docks the balloon appeared for a short time nearly stationary, and it was not until a quantitt of ballast was thrown out, that a quicker motion could be given to it. On passing over Deptford, at a considerable height, Mr. Sam.ett went through a clnd which left behind it on the railing of the car, and on various parts of the Balloon, a thick moisture which soon became frozen ; and Mr. SADLER for a short time felt the cold as intense as in winter. Immediately overWool wich, the string which fastened the net, as was ap prehended, suddenly broke, and the main body of the Balloon was forced quickly through the aperture, nearly 18 feet. Mr, SADLRR, to prevent the danger which threatened him, caught the pipe at the bottom of the balloon, and by hanging on it and the valve he prevented the balloon from further escaping. The valve, which had for some time resisted every attempt to open it, in consequence of being frozen, at this time gave way, and suffered the gas to escape. A sudden shift of wind while the balloon was appa rently falling into the middle of the Thames at Sea. reach, carried it about 100 yards over the marshes on the Essex side, when the Aeronaut seized the op portunity of making a gash in the balloon with his knife, which the wind considerably widened, and occasioned the escape of thews in great quantities Mr. SADLLR'S descent on this account was rather more precipitate and violent than he could have wish ed. He landed, however, in Mucking Marshes, 16 miles below Gravesend, on the Essex coast, without sustaining any -other injury than a slight sprain, in &Mut 40 minutes after his departure from the Park. The following distinguished personages left town yesterday for Paris—the Duchess of DEVONSHIRE and family ; the Earl and Couotess of 131.snOttouGH and family ; Lord and Lady MORPETH atrd family ; and 1...,rd and Lady G. L. GOWER and family. The Duke of PonTLAND•left Edinburgh on Friday for London; and the Duke of GORDON set out on Saturday for Gordon Castle. • The Right Hon.

T:.e Duke of ittoiNioNn's establishment at Good- wood is about to uni. ro some material alteration. His Grace has disposed of most of his horses, and it is understood 6b it only two domestics will rem tin at this ducal seat. Her Grace. it is said, will go to the Continent, and reside, at least for some time, at Brussels. The body of Prince PONIATOWSKI, which had been committed to a temporary grave at Leipzic, has beep taken up and dispatched with military honours, at. tended by a number of Polish Officers, and an escort of soldiers of that nation, for final deposit with the re mains of his ancestors. This Polish Prince, it may be remembered, was drowned, by plunging on horseback into the river, when his unfeeling Commander, BONA. ra fire, ordered the bridge at Leipzic to be blown up. Yesterday a Common Hall was held for the elec tion of a Sheriff, in the room of Wu. CLARKE, Esq. who bad not appeared to give b )nd to take- upon hiinself the said office, when R. SANDERSON, Esq. was elected, and immediately paid his fine to be excused serving, and the Lotto MAYOR a; pointed to-morrow, at ten o'clock, for the election of another person in his room. LYCEUM.:—Last night was performed 77u. Waltz, altered from WycatenLy's Comedy of The Gentleman Dancing Master. This latter title sufficiently explains the subject of the play. A Gentlem in, in order to obtain admission to his mistress, assumes the charac ter of the above-named teacher of graces. In this he imposes on a stupid uncle (LovEanove), sad more stepid nephew (LisToN), the latter of whom his fa vonirte is intended for. It received tolerable applause at'ihe conclusion. IiAYUARKP.T.—GOLDSNIITH'S excellent Comedy of Slit Sumps to Conquer, last night drew a very numerous audience to this Theatre. Mr. 'niter, who is quite recovered from the bruises he recectly L:ceived, sus tained the character of Hardraitle with much chaste humour—He was received, on his entre, with plaudits from every part of the house ; and, during the even ing, the loudest approbation manifested the high sense the audience entertained of his value, as a Co. median. sir. JONES'S Toung Marlow is a very lively and natural piece of acting. His first interview with Mies liardcastle was extremely amusing • it was a fine representation of that extreme bashfulness, which is . not unfrequently acquired at College; and which, , when once attached to the manners, it is very diffi cult to remove. Mrs. Glans,• as M:, Hardcartle,' performed with her wonted archness and vivacity.— Mr. Toxemes style of acting, as Tony Lumfilin, is much improved. He last night. evinced a large por tion of comic humour, and very rarely had recourse to grimace or buffoonry.—ln tht musical entertain ment of The Rival Soldier:, which followed, Mr. ToKELY was very successful in the character of Nip perain. His chatnit, " That is a Man is a Thettrassi," was deservedly encored. Mr. MArnews is still prevented from resuming his profetsional pursuits. SPORTING INT,RLI.IGENCE.

They did not attempt to . take the Mail. Yesterd - iity, between :wen o'clock, an alarminz fire occurred at the house of Messrs. Green and Morris, china, glass, and earthen .vare merchants. in Lower Thames-street. It appe4ra that a boy, employed t" pack up goods in the cellar, , had suffered a lighted candle to set fire to the straw. which immediately produced a flame he could not • ele, and twlve suppress. The smoke issuing from the cellar into the shop, and from thence to the street, occasioned an alarm, and several persons ran in to afford assistance, but before they could render the least service the shop was enveloped in fl Imes. The boy had not the means of getting out by the shnpdoor, therefore made his escape backwards. As the streets and avenues near the end of Thames -street, adjoining Fish-street Hill, are remarkably narrow, and the houses principally tilled with stores, provisions, and inflammable articler, it was feared the fire would be very extensive, but for tunately th' activity of the firemen soon reduced the dread of further danger. Six branches were played . agai:.st the Muse with rapidity truly astooishinr, while other engines went up eudding-lane, and threw water the back way. All the fliors, except the first, . in Messrs. Green and Co.'s house, were %lived, but the want of a party ;cal occasioned the lire to break . through a partithn into the house of . Mr. Gedge, provis.un merchant, whose pr mises are much da maged. The mischief done backwards is very con siderable. Fortunately no liv,s were Inst. As two Gentlemen, in a one-horse chaise, were driving, yesterday evening, furiously to town, at the Mari!) Gate, Lambeth, A coach happened to be thaw paying the toll; the Gentleman driving, endeavGuring to get by, drove against the side of the gate, and was thrown violently against one of the posts, by which one of his eyes was forced oat, and part 1 1 his fore. head beat in. The horse, ending the reins tiose, ran away with the ot,,er Gentleman, and threw him out; he was, however, but slightly hurt.
