There is a question which we wish to put to Sir LUCAS PEPYS, whose evidence seems to us to be ut terly irreconcilable with his letter to the Secretary at War. Being asked in your examination whether you were acquainted with the nature of the disorder to which soldiers were subject in the Island ofWalcheren, I you replied, " Perfectly ;" and you proceeded to give an account of the nature of it and of the time when it was most prevalent, &c. In your letter to the Secretary at War, dated 27th September last, upon being required to proceed to Walcheren yourself; you say, a I hereby solemnly de clare myself incapable of performing such a duty."— You advise the sending Dr. BLASE, adding, “ They (the Secretary at War and Commander in Chief) will see the business then welt petformed, and the service benefitedj whereas if I was able to go, who hew no thing of the ;nye:ligation of caul and contagion: &teases, it would be merely pro forma, and no possible good could arise from it. The number of licences for the issue of promissory notes, payable on demand, granted by the Commis sioners of Stamps, for the year ending the 10th of October, 1809, was 735. From the disturbance at the Opera House on Satur day evening, it was expected that all would not be quiet on Tuesday night ; but, a paper circulated by the Manager, explaining the neces s ity un d er w hi c h he felt hims elf of excluding certain Foreigners and other izlproper company from the Pitt, in order to prevent the Subscribers from being annoyed, seemed to produce the desired effect, and no attempt was made to interrupt any part of the performance. LYCEUM Mk:ATM—Yesterday the comedy of Which it As Mae was represented at this theatre. This comedy is a production from the pen of the late Mrs. COWLEY, who was charged by the late Mr. Hof.- CROFT with copying the characters of Bobby Peatirepa and his Sister, from the comedy of Duii4city, but had the parties been now in existence, they would not only have found the practice of purloining from each other extended, but that :le modern Dra matist had been reduced to the nec :ssity of pilfering from themselves ! and though this is a species of rob bery not cognizable in courts of law, it is an offence against Iran's, which should not be permitted to pass off with impunity in a court of criticism. Thursday last as a party of soldiers on furlough, belonging to the East Norfolk Militia lying at Sheer. ness, were crossing the water to South End, Essex, the boat upset, and the passengers, consisting of about 18 or 19, were immersed into the watery element.— By this accident two men, a serjeant and corporal, two women and an infant child, were unfortunately drowned. Great praise is due to the ships' crews .then in the•river, for their prompt exertions in putting off to the assistance of the unhappy , sufferers. They succeeded in saving the lives of the rest, who in all probability must have shared the fate of their compa nions.—The regiment have come to a resolution of subscribing one day's pay towards the relief of those who have lost their knapsacks containing the greater part if not the whole of their property. Elizabeth Shayler, the young woman, a servant to the QuEntes dressers, who was wounded en Saturday . by a ruffian, who suddenly struck her with a sharp instrument in the arm, continues extremely ill. On Tuesday and yesterday, the wound was considered , worse. A melancholy accident happened on Sunday se'n night, at Aberystwith ; five men went out in a boat over the bar, but had not proceeded far, before the boat was upset by a violent ground sea, and three of the men were drowned : the other two were fortu nately saved by the exertions of the marines. The bodies were washed on shore by the violence of the waves soon afterwards. Two of the sufferers were brothers, one of whom has left a widow and four small children ; the other was a journeyman carpenter. At Hereford fair, on Tuesday week, the chew of cattle was remarkably fine, although the mumber was not so large as has been sometimes seen. Fat and lean stock met with a ready sale at advanced prices. The buyers were very numerous, and the market cleared by half-past twelve o'clock. In the horse fair few good horses were offered for sale, and every kind went very high. There were not many pigs or sheep, and both sold at advanced prices. Best cheese aver aged from 81s. to 88s. and two-meal from 725. to 765. per cwt. The quantity of hops was small, and sold froya 935. to 105 s. per cwt. Same day, Dumfries fair was very numerously attended : draught horses were sold at most exorbitant prices, and good road steri, as well as those fit for saddle, were rapidly dis posed of. --- The last dit P o rtsmouth ft g iment is nea Major Nat 7001) is apps p orts mouth Lieutenant i nept, who ha g uished corps terbury to joi for embarkati, The last ad t i s h Army wa The following the Northern Brigade of Art Brigadier-Gem o ass—liillages c B r igade of Art Major-Genera Troop of Hors stoN's Br:gade— The tarns Army Service illuse of Corr 1.

After having undergone such repairs as were considered necessary, she was proceeding on her voyage to Gottenburgb, but again encountered is heavy gale,which continued 16 hours, in which her jib and top sail Were split to plots, and the vessel much strained. This gale was followed by another equally severe, from the N.

MANSION Hovsz.—The four persons who were taken into custody last Saturday, in Aidersgate-street, charged with circu lating bank notes which had been lost or stolen from the General Post Office, were yesterday brought before the L ORD M a y o: . It appeared that a letter sent from Colchesterby the post to town bed never wine to hand. 'the letter contained two fifty pound asses, :rod bias, &e. to the value of thirty pounds more. One of the fifties wes traced to have been paid by one of the prisoners, who had it from her brother, another of the prissinen, be having told her he had k for prize -money. This mat being examined, confessed he had said so, but that he fnflnd them in the street.— Upon searching, they recovered almost a hundred pounds of the money. A Gentleman from Colchester proved the letter with the notes being put into the Post-office, but whether it was after wards lost or stolen, he could not say. The other letters, con taining notes from the same parties, had always come safe. The prisoners were nil admitted to bail upon their own cognisance to appear when seamed. Richard Cawley, charged with having obtained 2150, at the India House, by forging the names of Seamen who were dead, was again pat to the bar, when be begged his Lordship again to rewind him for a day or two, he having wrote to a man ache name of Lewis, on board the Tigris Indianian, who could say something on his behalf. This his Lordship consented to, with the concurrence of the Solicitor for the prosecution.

Henley was capitally convicted of stealing coat, waistcoat, and other articles of Hearing apparel, the property of George Hodgson. The prisoner and prosecutor were servants in a livery stable, and the property In question was stolen from the hed-chimber of the latter. Tamar Passmore stood capitally indicted for ieloni. ously breaking and entering the dwelling-ho ye of William Winter, in the parish of Mary-la-bonike, in the day-time, and stealing therein a silver watch, and Bank-notes to the amount of R 37, the property of William Williams. IV. Williams, the prosecutor stated, that he Was plasterer, and was employed to work in the house of Mr. Winter, in Cumberland -street, Portman-square, in which he slept, for the purpose of taking care of it. In his bed-room were two it anks, in which the pro. perty mentioned in the indictment was deposited. On the morning of the 16th January, he wait out on t sun.e business, locking the door after him, and leaving the prisoner, who was a labourer in his service, at wo:k in one of the cellars. On his return in the evening, he found his room-door broken open, the locks of his trunks forced, and the bank-notes and watch taken away. The prisoner had then left the cellar, but re turned to his work the ensuing morning. The prose. cutor then asked him whether he had been up stairs ? which he positively denied. The witness had strong suspicions, however, that he was the thief, and gave information at Bow-street of the circumstances attend ing his loss. The prisoner was apprehended in about eight days subsequent to the robbery. Mr. Winter was next called : lie deposed, that on the 16th of January, the day on which the robbery was committed, he went to his house in Cumberland street, which was in an unfinished state, to see some of his workmen, and met the prisoner coming down stairs. On asking him some questions he seemed confused, and stammered very much. This witness also stated, that the prisoner had no business up stairs, his work being in the vault. The first witness was called up again, and on being interrogated,*stated, that the day preceding the rob bery, the prisoner asked to borrow from him a pound note, assigning as a reason, th a t hi s w if e was muc h distressed to make tip a small debt she had to par. A tailor, named Grant, proved, that in three days after the robbery the prisoner bought of him a coat, two waistcoats, and a pair of breeches, for which he paid with a R 5 note ; he also asked the tailor if he could oblige him with gold for twenty pounds in bank notes, as he was going home to Ireland ? It was likewise proved, that he had bought a con siderable quantity of women's -weaning apparel, con sisting of silk gowns, shawls, &c. of the value of from fifteen to twenty pounds. And on being apprehen ded, a silver watch, and about four pounds in cash, was found on his person. The capital part of the indictment was done away, as it did not appear that the house in which the rob bzry was committed had ever been inhabited as the dwelling-house of Mr. Winter; but from the general circumstances of the case, the Jury returned a verdict of---Guilty, which subjects the prisoner to transpor tation. Jahn Wahh was capitally convicted of a burglary in the house of Mr. Richard Pennington, No. 62, Ox ford-street, on Friday the 9th of February, at half past seven in the evening, by cutting a pane of glass out of the shop window, and stealing a piece of linen: he was-caught in the fact by Mr. Pennington, from the information of a girl named Sims, who was pas. sing at the time. The fellow, in his defence, denied the fact, and said he stopped accidentally at the window, when two men, who were standing at it, went away, when he saw the cloth sticking out, and was just going into the shop to tell the circumstance, when Mr. Penning ton came out and seized him by the collar. William Ackerman was also convicted of stealing a piece of linen from another shop in Oxford-street. The following was also capitally convicted : D. Grant, fur stealing a horse and cart, containing 15 pieces of flannel, the property of G. Powell. The following was convicted of felony, viz. Sarah Bond, for stealing a pelisse, the property of Sarah An. demon. Susannah Day, for stealing a gown and shawl, the property of J. Irons. _ _ _ F. Nowland, for stealing a carcase of mutton, the property of D. Keen. ' R. Skinner, for stealing a quantity of board and wrappers, the property of G. and W. Bayley; and 1. Petdtt, for stealing 1000 sheets of a work called " The Scottish Chiefs," the property of J. M'Creery. Thomas Scott was indicted for breaking into the dwelling-house of Mary Smith, at Shepperton, on the 12th of January, and stealing therein a copper. On the next evening the prisoner was stopped with a cop per at a public-house, in Brentford, and was detained, The prosecutrix, who keeps a preparatory seminary, was very delicate in identifying the property, although she believed it was her's. In defence, the prisoner said he bought it on the road, of a stranger, aad two persons gave him a goOd character.—Acquitted. Johns Cooh was indicted for stealing a gun, the pro. petty of H. W. Mortimer, gunsmith, of Fleet-street. The prosecutor stated, that the prisoner called at his shop on the 13th ult. and ordered a valuable gun. He prefaced his order with a description of himself, and professed to have a knowledge of several of the pro secutor's customers. The gen was sent, and the pri soner sent back a cheque for the amount on a bank ing-house. The cheque was tendered, and proved useless. The prosecutor sent immediately to the pri smer's address, Wingfield-street, Commercial-road, and demanded the money. The prisoner requested the man to go along with him to a neighbouring Cof fee-house, where he would borrow the money; when he arrived there, he endeavoured to prevail on the porter to stop at the door, but in vain. Here the ltscoanatt stopped the proceedings, and directed the acquittal of the prisoner, as the acceptance of the cheque reduced the felony to fraud. The following were also acquitted : J. Camper, D.
