THE ARAIY. The 10th Regbnent is ordered to Plymouth, from Ports- I mouth, to replace the 3.1 Guards, ordered to Chatham. Thursday, the Guard of Honour of the 86th Regiment, ar rived at Chatham from Harwich, where they bad been to at tend the remains of her late MAJIISTY. Wednesday, the first division of the sth Dragoon Guards ar rived in Belfast from Scotland, on their way to Drogheda, Sze. Ibis distinguished corps is commanded by Prince LIOTOLD of Saxe -Coburg. Orders have been received to reduce the two junior troops of the 9th Lancers, stationed in the Kentish district. General Lord CoNISCAMERE, of the sd. or King's Own Light Dragoons. entertained the Ulcers of that distinguished Regi ment on WednestLy last, in Dunn. The new Glasgow Cavalry Barracks, beyond Port Fenton, will be finished in a fortnight; and will, it is said, be occupied by the 5d Dragoon Guards on the 29th Of PO., month. There is accommodation for 932 horses. The rooms for the men are above the stables. The buildings and square occupy four acres of grcund, surrounded by a wall upwards of 12 feet high. The apartments fur the Officers are spacious, and elegantly fitted up. There will be an hospital, canteen, smithy, forage barns, and every othet conveniency of a perfect establishment. Friday, the 17th inst. Sir Ilt av TOKRENS, Adjutant-General, inspected the Army Depot in the isle of Wight, and was pleased to express himself to the Commandant, Colonel ltnss, C.B. in terms of the highest approbation. The admirable cleanliness of the barracks, the regularity maintained by the men of so many various corps, the comfort in their dressing, and the attention raid to the drill and instruction of the recruit, all superintended and carefully conducted by that most excellent Officer, drew forth not only the warmest commendations, bat the thankful acknowledgments a the Adjutant-General.. When it is consi dered, that the casualries Of from fifty to sixty battalions, on fo reign service, are made good by drafts from this vast nursery or depot, the labours of its Commandant will be apt to excite sur prise; but when it is understood that, bred in the school of the immortal 3loose, Colonel Boss early imbibed the zeal, applica tion, and arrangement of that great soldier, the effects of system and asehluity become only more manifest, and while they set merit in the strongest light, convert wackier into praise.

(Signed) " S. R. LUSHINGTON." Monday se'nnight, there were seized, two miles beyond Falkirk, by the Glasgow officer, Cameron, two men, having on their persons 72 £5 notes, forged en the Bonk of Scotland, five guinea notes on the British Linen Company, and some other notes on Irish hanks, besides the die for imitating the stamp. The delinquents are recently arrived from Ireland. EITRAORDINARY LEA P.—Yesterday se'niflght John riullchon, a private in the 77th Regiment, undertook for a trifling wager to leap over one of the gullies near Sunderland, which is 25 feet S inches across, and 20 feet deep, and won. SPECIMEN OP SCOTCH ORATORY.—At a Meeting of the Town Council of Edinburgh on Wednesday, the 22d instant, a motion was made by Mr. Treasurer SNIITti, for putting an end to the practice orgiving a number of dinners at the public expense. He hoped, he said, the Trades would also give up what was called the Conveners Dinner. Deacon Cox said—" My Lord, we canna agree to that. What! tak away our dinner ? the only one we ever had—quite derogatory to the Convener and the Trades." Deacon PONTON here cried out to the Convener across the table— " What ! Convener, are you going to sit there and see them take away our dinner r This eloquence seems to have produced its effect ; for, says The Scotsman, the Trades were left in possession of the right to eat and drittk atitr the manner of their predecthors. AFFRAY AT KNIGHTSBRIDGE. In consequence of NeTircumstances which took place at Knightsbridge, on Sunday afternoon, Mr. Sheriff WAITIIMAN has addressed the following letter to Lord BATHURST : " My Loito--I consider it my duty to apprise his Majesty's j Government, through your Lordship, ok a most violent outrage I of the public peace committed by some individuals of the Life Guards at Knightsbridge yesterday, and of an attempt at assas sination upon me personally, while in the exercise of my duty as Sheriff of liddlcsex, as the head of the Civil Poorer of the County. " Your Lordship thought proper to direct the Lord Mayor, on Saturday, to take the necessary measures to preserve the peace of the City during the intended Funeral of Honey and Francis ; and although no such caution was addressed to the Sheriff, as conservator of the public peace of the County, I felt it my duty to direct the Deputy Sheriffs of the City and County to order out the constables of the divisions nearest to, and through which the Funeral was expected to pass; and also to attend in person with proper officers, to prevent or quell any tumult or disorder. " Conceiving that, under the existing irritation of the people, and the circumstances tor which they had assembled, some in sult might be offered to the Life Guards in their Barracks, I disposed of the constables chiefly in that vicinity, and actually ranged a body of them in front of the Barracks, with instruc tions to apprehend every individual who should attempt to com mit any act of outrage or disorder. " The Funeral, in consequence of these precautions, passed the Barracks in an orderly and quiet manner, marked by no other peculiar circumstance than that of a brick being thrown from the Barracks, which fell near my horse, and wounded, as 1 ant informed, a young girl. My admonitions, and the pre sence of the constables, succeeded, however, in repressing the irritation this wanton act was calculated to excite. " When the Procession had passed, and while the road con tinued to be crowded with people, the gates of the Barracks were thrown open, and the avenues filed with the soldiers. The people, as might have been foreseen, gathered round the spot, and expressed their displeasure. A tumult seemed inevitable. 1 requested to speak with the Vfficer on duty, but without effect ; and at length, by repeated expostulations with the soldiers, I succeeded in prevailing upon them to retire and close the gates. " Some time after, upon returning to the same spot, I saw a number of soldiers running from the wicket gate, and pursuing the people on the causeway. Fi..sli .g an affray actually coin meuced, I sprung my horse dpoo the causeway, interposed he. ' tween the partit.,, and succeeded in separating them. While thus engaged, a soldier, with whom I had before been expostu lating, and who was therefore acquainted with my official sta tion, started forward at a man and knocked him down. Ar the same moment, while using my utmost endeavours to prevail upon the soldiers to retire into the Barracks, and the people to desist and keep the peace, the bridle of my horse was violently seized, on the one side by a young Officer ;n undress, and on the other by the soldier whose violence I had just noticed, who together endeavoured to throw my horse over the causeway; and I only succeeded in eau icating myself by striking the sol dier with my stick, and making my horse plunge. Immedi ately several of the soldiers rushed at me with their swords draw:;, and one actually loaded his carbine, and directed it to wards me, but was, as I have been informed, knocked down by one of the constables. Further mischief was prevented by the interposition of some Military Officers of higher authority, and the soldiers at length retired into their Barracks. " /il , Lord, these circumstances require no comment. At a critical conjuncture the soldiers were left to their own exaspe rated ..elings, and manifested a lawless spirit. The civil power under my direction was fully adequate for the preservation of the peace among the people, but not to encounter an armed sol diery. I had no communication from his .Majesty's Govern ment, nor could I ()Stain an interview with any of the Officers of the Regiment ; and when I directed some of the constables to represent to the Officers, in the most respectful terms, my desire thst the so!diers should be kept within the Barracks, the mes sage Cc:tamed was,' That the Sheriff might be d—d, they would not make their men prisoners for him; and I feel assured, that had I not interposed with the civil power, and even risked my own life, a frightful slaughter must have ensued. Of subor dination to civil authority, the soldiery appeared to be wholly unconscious, and that authority, in my person, was repeatedly insulted and grossly outraged. " It would, my Inrd, be as needless as presumptuous in me, to attempt to instruct your Lordship and his Majesty's Govern molt in the nature of the constitutional authority under which I attended yesterday, or the right I possessed, in my official cha racter, to have claimed the aid and assistance of those very mi litary to suppress tumult, who have, upon this occasion, in open. defiance of the civil authority, been the promoters of it ; nor need I add one word in aggravation of the enormity of the of fences committed : the offenders can, some of them, be identi fied, and I tru•t your Lordship will cause immediate and effec tual 111::4113 to be adopted to bring them to justice, as a salutary example to others.—l have the honour to be, my Lord, Your Lordship's obedient humble servant, " Bridge-street, Aug. 27, 1821.

The City Plate of Fifty Pounds, on Thursday, which was dis puted in consequence of a cross by t'arbott on Merryman, in the third heat, was not adjudged by the Stewards, but is to be referred by them to the Jockey Club. Although, as has too much prevailed for some years, our Course has been deficient in sport, yet the Sweepstakes of 10, vO, and GS guineas each, have been again renewed, as well as the Hunters' Stakes, which latter, by a new article, are not to be run for unless three horses are entered. With the exception of some of the West Kent families, who have occasionally -honoured our Races with their presence, the company in general has been as numerous as on former years, I indeed, the aggregate on the Course on Wednesday is mentioned as being greater than any within recollection. The Ball, at Bellingham's Rooms, on Friday night, enumerated upwards of 160, and the Public Breakfast, at the same Rooms, on Saturday morning, onwards of 100 of the Nobility and Gentry of the County. The Public Breakfasts were also well attended on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday ; and the plan, this year first adopted, of giving a Aims; a la fuurehette seemed to meet gene ral approbation. The accustomed liberality of the Baron and Baroness de MM. /ZIQUISU has again been evinced in a general invitation to the company to take refreshments at their hospitable mansion at Bridge Hill—an invitation, of which a large proportion of the company were happy to avail themselva, as well on account of the entertainment, as of the elegance and condescension with which it was accompanied. The use of the stables of the man sion were also afforded for the accommodation of the horses be tween the several heats.• SPARRING. Crawley had his Benefit at the Fives-court yesterday, and his merit as a boxer was rewarded by a good conic. Amongst the best set—to were the following ; Curtis and Hawkins.—This was a masterly display of courage and science, at.cl although in favour of Curtis, who is as good a man as ever stripped, yet Ilawkins worked his points skilfully, cnd the applause was unanimous. Oliver and the geotsesais of seventeen stone, so much talked of, was a contrast to the preceding bout. Oliver, who appeared a boy to his adversary, had an opportunity of spewing off his sci ence to fine advantage, and he kept his fists constantly at his adversary's • head. Anderson was not quick enough to return, but he received without murmuring, and ;hewed much good humour upon the occasion. Kendrick, the Black, and an athletic Coachman set-to, and we only notice it to state that such overgrown novices disgraced the stage by their awkwardness. Spring and Crawley closed the performances in a masterly set to, and if any best, Crawley had it, and particularly towards the end of It. The parrying was excellent, and the hitting clean. There were no fresh matches made, and the principal topic diecussed was the wrangle about Cooper and (.E Leary's fight, upon which bets have been so long susper.ded that to pay and re ceive on it is absurd, The umpires first decided that O'Leary had won it, Caper baying lett the ring beloi`e they had called time. They - tben took a few days to reconsider the matter, and, as Mt. Jackson termed to meddle with the dirty water, they turned round and said Cooper won it: so it remains ; but the impaitial part of the ring have considered ir, ueder all the Cis'- , esinaatantesi a drow, and that no bets be paid. POLICE.. MANStott-House.—Yesterday, Charles Roy a fel low of the most savage appearance and demeanour, underwent an examination before the LORD MAYOR, • _ ... on a charge of having robbed a young Lady of a gold and a silver watch, together with some trinkets of value.—Miss M. Sims, of Bi unswick-house, Hack nerroad, stated, that about nine u'elock, on Friday night be was passing .!own Bishqsgate-street, in company with another female; when near Widegate street the prisoner darted out upon her, and seized her reticule, which he tore violently from her,' and made off with it. She gave an alarm, and the prisoner was pursued by some of the by-standers, from whose statement it appeared that a gang of four other ruffians endeavoured to impede the pursuit, but without effect. The prisoner, when taken, fought with the utmost desperation, and it was not until he had inflicted many severe blows and kicks on his pur suers, that he was secured. The reticule, which con, tained a gold watch, a silver watch, and some neck laces, belonging to the young Lady, bad been handed out of teach, and no trace of it could be obtained.— The prisoner, who refused to say anything, was fully committed for trial. A lad, named James Awry, apparently not more than fourteen years of age, underwent a final exami nation on a charge of having robbed the ltev. Dr. Lindall of a gold watch.--It appeared, from the state ment of the Reverend Gentleman, that he was re- turning from his ministerial duties down Bishopsgate street on Sunday evening, and was passing near the church, when the prisoner darted upon him like lightning from out of Catherine-wheel-alley, and jerked out the pro,ecutor's gold watch, which was immediately handed over to an accomplice. The prisoner then with astonishing rapidity returned down the court, but was pursued by Dr. Lindall, who was beset by three men in the alley, but being a powerful man, he succeeded, after a contest, in getting past them, and pursued the prisoner with the cry of '• Stop thief r until he was taken by Turrill, the parish beadle, who chanced to be near the spot at the time the watch was lost. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. A boy, much of the same age as the last prisoner, named Charles Bull, was charged with having robbed Mr. J. Phillips, of No. 21, Nicholas-lane, of a gold chain, seals, &c.—Mr. Phillips was passing down the Minories, at about eight o'clock, on Friday evening, when the prisoner ran against him and snatched at his watch; the prosecutor, however, seized it as it was escaping from his fob, when the chain broke. In the struggle both the prisoner and the prosecutor fell to the ground, and the seals were handed to an ac complice. The prisoner got away, and endeavoured to make his escape down some of the intricate streets near, but he was seen and pursued by two shop keepers, who, after having been interrupted by the prisoner's accomplices, succeeded in securing him.— He was fully committed for trial. A number of carmen, who ply at the stands in Bishopsgate-street, and in the ne►ghbourhood of Thames-street, were summoned before the Loap Mayon, on charges of the following nature:— The night patrol, and several of the inhabitants of Bishopsgate-street, stated, that for some time past it had been the practice of the defendants to come to their stands at most unseasonable hours, for the pur pose of getting on the first, that they might be first employed. This was the occasion of constant and desperate contentions, which alarmed the whole neigh bourhood. Sometimes the inhabitants were awakened at the hour of midnight by three or four of their carts coming thundering down the streets at full speed, like so many fire-engines. Indeed, at about two or three o'clock in the morning, races of this description were constant. But the disturbance did not end with the race, for the carmen would often, by swearing, hal looing, or fighting, keep the inhabitants from rest until the dawn of day. The nuisance had arisen to such an intolerable pitch, that the complainants were compelled to claim the protection of his Lordship, who had authority, under the Act for the regulation of the town carts, to fine the defendants in the pe nalty of not more than 20s. for each offence. The LORD Mayon said, a great portion of his time had been latterly employed in hearing complaints of this nature from various parts of the city. He had fined some, and forgiven others on promises of not repeating the offence, but, it appeared, without the slightest effect. Many of the most opulent carmen, who had six or mote carts at work at once, had found it to their interest to pay the fines, as but one fine could be imposed for the whole of the carts, and the poorer carmen who had but one cart must en deavour to get on the stand at the same time, or be ruined. All endeavours to procure an agreement between the proprietors not to send their carts on the stands before certain hours had been fruitless, and in consequence orders had been given to the officers to sweep all the carts which they found in the streets before the proper hours to the Green-yard. This had been done, but the opulent part of the proprietors had contested the right to do this, and had obtained a verdict, subject to a case for the Judges, whose de cision had not yet been given. His Lordship expressed his intention, as the case stood, to use his utmost en deavours to protect the repose of the inhabitants. He fined most of the defendants in the full penalty, and excused others on account of their extreme poverty ; but his Lordship gave notice, that no pleas of this kind would in future be taken in extenuation, since lenity had been found of so little avail;—he should fine all against whom the fact might be proved. The carmen expressed their assent to the equity of his Lordship's determination, and regretted that it was the interest of the large proprietors to render all arrangements abortive. The LORD MAYOR feared that the nuisance could not be effectually abated until new enactments were obtained which would authorise more summary and efficient proceedings against the offenders. His Lord ship said, that if the inhabitants, by petitioning, could obtain an enactment which would authorise the offi cers to carry all carts to the Green-yard which might be found on the stand at an improper hour, that would be all that was requisite; and he strongly recom mended them to pursue that measure, winch, he was persuaded, would obtain their object. Manusonouoit-STREET. Fi t eg, the jour neyman tailor, who was committed to Tothill-fields Bridewell, on Monday (in default of bail), for ex citing a riot at Knightsbridge, on Sunday evening, was yesterday brought up on a charge of felony.— Yesterday two City Of f icers, who had been the ?al fortnight on the look-out for the prisoner, applied at this Office, stating that he had robbed a poor laun dress, in Nettiebed-court, Aldersgate, of shirts, hand kerchiefs, and other articles. Wales, the officer, went to the prison, and found one of the stolen shit is on the prisoner's back, • and a handkerchief on his neck, besides ten duplicates of wearing apparel, &c. which, from the price affixed to the duplicates, must have been new. He was brought up in a shirtless state, and identified. This robbery was committed in the prisoner's lodgings sixteen days since, although when examined for the riot he said he had not been in London during the last three years. The prisoner was remanded till Thursday, to see if the owner of the pledged goods will appear. OUTRAGE TO A LIFE GUARDSMAN. William BIM. rowes and Duncan Menzies, a shoemaker and a tailor, were charged with riot and assaulting Joseph Earn shaw, a private in the Life Guards. It appeared by the testimony of the Magoon, which was corrobo rated by other witnesses, that he was assailed in Oz ford -street, on Monday evening, by a mob ; on leaving the house of a relative, with the epithets" Murderer, Butcher," &c. which he did ndt notice. He was next attacked with stones, fists, dead cats, icc. but some respectable persons passing by, interfered, or he must have been killed. The complainant walked tiSaards the Office, the mob following him to the very door, when the two prisoners, who had repeatedly struck the complainant with their fists, were seemed by the officers in attendance. An affray took place between the officers and others, who attempted a rescue, to the discomfiture of the latter. MURDER AT HORNSEF-LANE. A respectable Meeting of the Inhabitants of the Hamlet of Highgate was held on Monday evening at the Gate-house, for the purpose of considering and adopting the best measures to discover the perpetra tor of the late atrocious murder, and providing foe the future security of that neighbourhood ; when it was determined, that the Chairman, the Rev. Dr. OWEN, should wait upon the Under Secretary of State, and request that a reward should be proclaimed for the discovery of the perpetrator or perpetrators of the murder. It was agreed that a hundred guineas should be offered by the Hamlet for the same pur pose. A subscription was immediately set on foot to raise this sum, and Dr. OWEN was requested to con duct irs application. Yesterday evening (in consequence of some circum stances having transpired which it wou!cl be improper at present to disclose) nomad Barratt, the man who gave evidence before the Coroner's Jury which sat on the body of the Watchman who was murdered on Friday morning last, on the prenihes of TuomAs HALE, Esq. of Highgate, was apprehended by one of the Bow-street Officers, .on suspicion of being concerned in the robbery and murder of the deceased. DESTRUCTION OF FARMING STOCK BY FIRE. Tuesday senttight, a large rick of new hay, on the farm of the Earl of Bridgewater, at Nettleden, near Ashbridge, Herts, having become over-heated, t.de fire, and burning with great fierceness, soon commu nicated to an old rick of hay adjoining, and both were consumed. Wednesday, about eleven o'clock, a fire broke oat at Warner's Farm, Great Waltham, Essex, occupied by Mr. Thomas Hodges, Occasioned by the over heating of a stack of hay, containing nearly fifty loads, and which stood a short distance from a barn, to which it communicated, and did considerable da mage. The engines arrived in time to artest the progress of the devouring element, otherwise much more valuable property would have fallen a sacrifice. Wednesday morning, about two o'cicck, a fire broke out at the Cross-green Farm, in Soham, Cat. bridgeshire, belonging to Mr. John Dobede, which consumed a large hay stack and a stack of straw. Tuesday se'nnight, in Me afternoon, a fire broke out upon the premises of Richard Brettingham, Esq. of Mendham, Suffolk, near Harleston, occasioned by hay being stacked in too green a state. About sixty tons of hay, with stables and sheds, fell a prey to the devouring element. The barn, which had caught fire, was preserved by the timely arrival of the engines. Thursday se'nnight, at eleven o'clock at night, its consequence of heating tco violently, a destructive fire broke out is a large and valuable hay stack, on the premises of W. Mason, Esq. of Necton, Not folk. Precautions had bears taken to cut and faggot the same, but from the quantity of narrow-leafed plan• tain the hay contained, the evil it is thought, condo nued to augment, and finally threatened the destruc tion of £440 worth of new and old hard-land hay. Tuesday sennight, in the morning, a large stack of hay in the farm-yard of Mr. J. Brown, of Pudding Norton Hall, near Fakenham, was discovered to be on fire, and hay to the amount of tsso hundred pounds was destroyed. About midnight, on Saturday last, some abaft. Boned person set fire to a large new beast-hovel, which was covered with about a thousand faggots and several loads of straw, in the farm-yard of Mr. William Gilbert, of Threckingham, Lincolnshire ; providentially the fire being discovered early, was prevented from spreading to the other premises...a. There is reason to suppose the file was the diabolical act of an incendiary, in consequence of a dispute which had arisen the day before respecting the em ployment of Irish labourers. Monday se'nnight, about nine o'clock, a fire broke out in the stack-yard-of Mr. Cross, farmer, of Earl ham, near Norwich, which the most unwearied exer tions could not subdue until three hay-stacks, four straw-stacks, five score of thrashed wheat, ten pigs, besides a barn, turnip-house, carts, and many imple ' ments, had been destroyed. The furniture was alto greatly injured. The cause is yet unknown, but there is some reason to suspect that it has been the act of . an incendiary. it __ Yesterday died, in Portland-place, ASNE, the wife of Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Bart.
