As it had announced that CAT ILANI was recovere d ra her accent indisposition, the house was brilliantly :::ceded ; and she sang three airs with all her ac c::tomed force and science, and was greeted raptu : trig the audience. Yesterday a boxing match took place in a field at New Cress, near Deptford, for ten guineas, between a coulanan and a baker. From the commencement of the fight Jehu had the whip hand of his antagonist; and at the close of the third round Alum gave in, after having his head nearly kneaded into dough.

Yesterday, at Worship-street Office, an elderly woman, named Prior, the wife of a mat-maker, in Crooked Billet-yard, near the Basinghouse. Kings land-road, was charged with the murder of her hus band, by beating him over the head with a mallet, on Tuesday evening, whereof he died next morning. She was committed till the Coroner's decision. The execution of the three men, which had been ordered for thii day, at Horsernonger-lane, is post poned till to-morrow ; and the woman has been re prieved. THE ARMY. Further reinforcrmmts are to be sent out to Lord Wellington's Army. The Hussar Brigade and some Heavy Drag ons are mentioned among other corps. Most of the Walcheren regiments are to be sent out to Malta, Gibraltar, and the Army in Sicily, and the regiments in these stations will bk sent to our ar mies in Spain and Portugal. It is found that the re• giments from Walcheren recover much sooner in warm countries than they do in this. Accounts have been received of the safe arrival at Lisbon of the 3d Battalion (or Colonel Hay's) of the Scotch Royals, and of the 13th Light Dragoons,— These two corps were to relieve the Ist or Royal Heavy Dragoons and the 74th Highlanders, who were to march from Lisbon to join the army in the field. The CLYDE frigate has just arrived from Lisbon with sick and invalids from the 23d Dragoons and other corps of Lord Wellington's Army. Many Of ficers have come over passengers in her; and among them Lord Jonx SOMERSET, a Captain in the 23d Dragoons, and Mr. JAMES, Purveyor-General to Lord Wellington's Army. When the C E left Lisbon, our army was up with that cf the: French, and the out-pests were con. scantly exchanging shot. The army was becoming very healthy; by the exer tions of Dr. FitAxEs, the Inspector of Hospitals, and the Medical Officers of the Army, the sick had been reduced from 10,000 to 4000. Our effective force is now about 23,000, in excellent spirits. What is of the utmost consequence, our army there is now not only accustonrd to fire, but Aar,.y.made soldiers, and equal to any fatigue or privations. The 23d Dra goons, 45th, 87th, and other reg;mtmts, with the corps of the German Legion who suffered so severely at Talavera, have been filled up (rent the battalions at home, and arc now more complete ail of them than when they were sent out. On Friday last, the 13:3d Regiment marched into Portsmouth. and immediately embarked for the Me . diterrancan. Part of the sth Foct has marched into Steyning Barracks, Sussex. We bear that that noble regiment, the 42d cr Royal Highlanders, are recovering of the Walcheren fever at Canterbury ; as are the 92d or Gordon High. landers in their neighbourhood. The 91st or Perth• shire Highlanders are in the same neighbourhood, but they recover more slowly. Last week, the 21st Regiment or Scotch Fuzileers marched into quarters at Southampton. A detachment of 200 men of the 77th Regiment has been sent out to join those in the Mediterranean. The whole of the India fleet will sail from St. He-, len's on Saturday next. Reinforcements are going out in this fleet for almost every corps in India or the Cape of Good Hope. His Excellency Sir SAMUEL AUCIIMUTY and suite have arrived at Portsmouth. Sir JAMES FELLOWES has already sailed from Ply mouth, for Cadiz, in the DEVASTATION bomb. A reinforcement from General Watson's Regi ment, the Bth Royal Veteran Battalion, is ordered to proceed immediately for Heligoland. Monday, some transports, with sick, arrived at Portsmouth from Lisbon, and were sent to the hospi tals. From the frequent arrivals of late of the sick from Lord Wellington's Army, many people look for the speedy appearance of the Army itself, as he is now disencumbering himself, and clearing the way for a sudden departure. Tuesday, the fleet for the Mediterranean got under way at Spithead. There are on board many officers, and reinforcements of men for the army in Sicily.— The DOTTIMEL, having General SONTAG and suite on beard, with a convoy of transports, sailed for Cadiz, and the GANIMEDE for L'S'3oll on Tuesday. • The 2 d Battalion of the 14th Regiment, the 2d Battalion c , f . the 23d Regiment, and the 2d Battalion of the 63d, have sailed for Malta. The 75th Regiment, now in garrison at Aberdeen, have got their route for the North of Ireland ; and it is said the regiment will be replaced by the 2d Battalion of the 25th, from Perth. The Northumberland Regiment of Militia has marched into Norman Cross Barracks from Ipswich. CANTERBURY. APRIL 10. In consequence of orders, received by express, at eleven in the forenoon of Sunday last, the 2d or Queen's Dragoon Guards, and the 3d or King's Own Dragoons, marched from this city at two in the afternoon of the same day, the former by Maidstone for Lewisham, the latter by Rochester for Dartford, where they were to receive further instructions. At the same time orders were sent to Dover for the Royal Bucks and Royal Perth Regiments of Militia to march from thence to Canterbury, where they arrived at nine on Sunday evening, and yesterday morning con tinued their route to Chatham, where they are to wait further orders. A detachment of the 12th Light Dragoons, consisting of two troops, also arrived on Sunday night in Canterbury, from the coast, where it is for tae present to remain. The 52d Regiment and the North York Militia also marched from Chatham on Sunday morning . for London and its vicinity, each provided with sixty rounds of ball cartridge ; the Royal Denbigh Militia, at the sane place, are also in readiness to march at an hour's notice. • • Saturday morning, a detachment of the Bth, and; another, of the 24th Light Dragoons, consisting ofl 250 men in the whole, marched from the Cavalry' Depot, in Maidstone, for the Isle of Wight, there to he embarked on board the East Indiamat, to join their respective regiments in the East Istdies. THE LATE DISTUPEANCE. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT was yesterday visited, in tl:e Tower, by his family and several of his friends. No extraordinary precaution was observed there, nor .'.id there appear in any part of the town the slightest is to tumult or disorder. In consequence of a circular letter from Mr. Secre tary RYDER, the several Volunteer Corps in the Me tropolis, which have been under arms at their several parades since Fridry, were List nighi dismissed. Among the regiments brought hither in conse quence of the recent disturbances, is the 26th or Ca meronians. An express arrived at Horsham, where they were stationed, fer the troops in garrison to pro ceed for lemden without delay. In less than an hour they were on the road, every man provided with sixty rounds of hall-cartridge. The 26th arrived a: Epsom on Sunday, and on Monday arrived at Wimbledon. Head-quarters are now at Clapham, with detachments billetted through the neighbourhood, all ready at a moment's warning to march to the Metropolis. Thomas Ebtall, who was shot in the shop of Mr. GOODEVE, on Monday, was alive lest night, but with out the smallest chance of recevet y. The City Marshals addressed :t note to Mr. GOOD EYE, requesting his attendanu before the Court of Aldermen, at Guildhall, yesterday, to give evidence on the subject of Ebtali's melancholy case. The purport of his evidence was, that. Mr. Ebtall was a perfect stranger to him. and during the tu• milt which took place in Fenchurch-street, on the return of the cavalry escorting Sir FRANCIS BURDETT to the Tower, he took shelter in his shop at the c.nter of Mincing-lane.—At the time Ebtall received the wound, he was standing near to the threshold of the door, and was neither hissing, hooting, nor provoking the soldiery in ail , way whatever ; the populace had all dispersed in different directions, and there were scarcely two per sons together. A petition was yesterday presented by a master builder, in the neighbourhood of Tower-hill, to the Committee of City Finance, praying £2O, compen sation, being the value of bricks taken from him by the populace, on Monday, at the time Sir FRANCIS BeaDerr was conveying to the Tower. As Mr. Robins, jun. of Warwick -street, mounted on a spirited young horse was riding along Piccadilly on tlunday, the crowd hailed hint with " Hats off," at which shout and outcry his horse became some what alarmed, and reared and plunged most violently; n twithstAn,iitu; wlfch they insisted on his pulling off his hat (which had he complied with his horse would have been quite unmanageable, and endan eered both hint and the populace) and pelted him with mud, which hit him several times in the face. At length, observing the man who threw at him, he resolutely rode into the midst of them, seized hold, and dragged him from among them, and gave him in charge of a constable. A more manly or spirited conduct we cannot record. Tuesday night, as Adkins, the Bow-street Officer, was comirg from the Secretary of State's Office, at the end of the Piazza, in Russell-street, a pistol was flied within three yards of him, at the time several persons were passing ; he instantly laid hold of the man That fired it, and a woman that was standing with him at the time, and was proceeding to take them to the office, when several people attempted to rescue them, but without effect. He sent the woman to the watch-house, and took the man to the Secre tary of State's Office, where Mr. READ and Mr. GRAHAM were in attendance, when he was commit ted for further examination. He said his name was Hartley, that he came on Friday last from Yorkshire; he bought the pistol on that day, to protect his p-operty ; when searched, he had a Al note and two or three shillings ; he lodged at the Saracen's Head, on Snow-hill, and left it a little before ten o'clock the same night, after loading the pistol with ball.— In his lodgings was found about se4o ; and, from some cards found on him, he is supposed to be a me dical student from Edinburgh.

A large French privateer was seen this morning by the Cawsand boats, running down Channel, with every inch of canvas set ; and about half an hour after an English sloop appeared in the Offing in chace of her, but the Frenchman evidently had the advantage in superior sailing.— The order for the sailing of the SCIPION, 74 , , Rear- Admiral STOPFORD, has been countermanded, and she will not sail till the end of the week. A vast number of French and other prizes are at this time lying in Catwater, Sutton Pool, and Hamoaze, wait ing the adjudication of the Admiralty Courts.

The Life Boat was immediately launched, and pulling off through the tremendous breakers, succeeded in bring. ing the crew safely ashore. The vessel afterwards beat up at the hack of the South Pier; but it is hoped, if the weather soon moderates, may be got off. A letter from Captain Mill, late of the Kinloch schooner, of Dundee, dated Dunkirk prison, 12th March, 1810, advises, that he was taken on the 2d ult. off Huntcliffe Foot, by the Fury privateer, of 14 guns. He adds that there is no account of the arrival of the Kinloch in any port near Dunkirk, and says that the same privateer took the schooner Jean. of Aberdeen, Black master, and a Danish ship laden with timber, about an hour after.
