THE ARMY. Monday 'nnizht the first division of the 231 rusarers marched into lAmdonderry, to rplace the 13th Regiment, the first division of which corps left that city on 'Tuesday. The af fable and gentleman-like deportment of the Officers, and the steady and exemplary conduct of the privates, during their stay there of nhtly twelve months, had endeared them to the in habi ,net , wlio regret their Four companies of the Rifle Corps, from Fcrmoy, took up their quarters at Clomnel, on Thursday night, and proceeded the next morning ea their way to Naas, where they are to be . stationed mail further orders. Monday se'imight the 9:;t1 Ilighlanders were minutely inspected by Major-General Sir Jour 1„1,111ERT, in the F.xercise-fi•ld, near t he new Barracks, Cork. Next day the gallant General set out for Killarney, to visit the beautiful lakes near that town. The first division of the 2'241, or Cheshire Regiment of Foot, marched from Bull on Thursday, and the second division on Friday, for Liverpool, and ultimately for Ireland. This Regi ment bad been statiercd at Hull but fur a short period, but their steady and soldier-like conduct had gained them the esteem of the inhabitants of that town. The 66th Regiment, commanded by Colonel NICOL, marched Into /lull on Thursday and Friday, to replace the 22d. This Regiment has lately returned from St. Helena; the grenadier com pany of which bore the remains of the late Fs-Emperor of France to the grave. blzuvaiNDum or nig rIIICI3 01 Tim Cox nissioNs IX Tlig A amr, AND ALTIILATIONS IN VIE DIFFEILLNCES BETIVIZX FULL AND HAL r-TAY.

THE KENSINGTON cnrrx-Bda PLOT. We lately copied from the Morning Chronicle an account of certain proceedings said to have occurred at a Meeting of the Magistrates of the Kensington ' Division, at Hammersmith. The Cleck to the Ma gistrates has transmitted to that Paper the following contradiction, or rather correction of the statement; for, in all the material points, they agree. It is con firmed that the room actually was cleared, and then the landlord was subjected to a private inquisition, to ascertain whether Sir licasur Wit.soN had at tended a Meeting in his house, where a plan of inter ruption to her late MaJcsrv's funeral was concerted. Information on oath had been given that Sir Rosimr attended such a Meeting : this statement on oath, however, was contradicted by the statement of the landlord, also on oath, which was believed in pre ference by every one of the Magistrates. Thus the only part of the secret evidence against him which was submitted to anything like a test, turned out to be a downright falsehood : " TO THE EDITOR. " SIR—A paragrapit,iitlei".inotbeiiTreen Bag Plot,' hav ing appeared in the Morning Chnonic'e of Monday, the 17th in sunt, giving an account of the proceedings of the General Aleet ing of Licensing Magistrates. held on the Bth instant, at I lam mersmith, for the Division of Kensington, in which the conduct of the Magistrates is serioualy attacked, 1 beg leave, as the Clerk to that Bench, to give a true statement of the transaction. " The paragraph I allude to Is as follows Another Greco Bag Plot.—At the General Meeting of the Justices in the Com mission of the Peace for the County of Alidellesex, acting for the Division of Kensington, held at the liammerstnith Coffae , house, Hammersmith, on Saturday, the Bth instant, for the purpose of granting Licenses to the Publicans of the Hamlet and neigh. bourhood, present It. (Imre, Esq. S. Sketchky, Faq. I. Matt son, Esc( and (specially) It. Birnie, Faq. we have heard that some difficulty was experienced on the renewal of the annual licenses, by THOSE PUbtiCanS who were suspected to be attached to her late Nlajesty, of is any way connected with the popular feeling of respect paid to her memory on the day of her funeral. We have been informed that the proprietor of one of the moat respectable licensed houses in the District was subject to a must examii:ation before his license was granted to hint. The circumstances are these: The Cottec-house-keeper was call •d before this quorum of Magistrates, and informed that information had reached his Majesty's Government that Sir Robert Wilson had attended a' private Meeting at his house, purporting to be a Meeting of the Inhabitants of 11:U11mA-smith, when the door was carefully kept from all intruders, and that at that Meeting the obstructions which afterwards took place in the progress of the Procession of her late Majesty's Funeral were planned. To this the Tavern keeper replied, that Sir Robert Wilson had never been in his house; that the Meeting was, in the fullest sense of the word, a public one, and, as a proof of it, sonic of the Gentlemen con nected with the Public Press attended, and reported the pro ceedings. The solen:n asseveration of the Laidlerd was not thought sufficient by the Magistrates present. •A long affidavit was drawn up, and without any copy being given to the party, he was upon the instant required to swear to and sign it. This affidavit was corroborative of his own statement, above alluded to, and he was informed that he would hearfurther ofelthafair.' " Now, Sir, the facts attending this case are these :—When Mr. Youde, the landlord of the Coffee-house, entered the room to have his license, Mr. (now Sir Richard) Birnie (who had ap prised Mr. Youde of what he intended saying, and, as living in the Division is a constant attendant at the Bench) requested the room to be cleared, not wishing to say anything in the presence of strangers which might hurt the feelings of 31r. Youde. Sir IL 'knife then informed the Bench that information had been given to him at Bow-street Office, wpm oath, that a Meeting had been held at Mr. Youde's house, at which the plan of in terruption to her late Majesty's funeral was concerted, and that a late gallant General had attended the Meeting, all which Mr. Youde most unequivocally denied. As I well knew, by the experi ence of eleven years' attendance on that Bench (as its clerk), that to do justice to every individual victualler was the wish and senti ment of the Magistrates, I took the liberty of speaking to them of j Mr. Youde, in those terms I am sure every one who knows him will declare. Though the Magistrates were perfectly satis fied of his good conduct, and of the falseness of the charge, yet as the information beforementioned was upon oath, the Magis trates thought it would be proper that the contradiction of it should also be upon oath. Sir Richard Birthe immediately drew up an affidavit, denying the allegation, which he read to Mr. I oude, and asked him if he would swear to it? Mr. Youde readily complied, and said he did it with the utmost cheerfulness. He did subscribe it and attest it, and he was told he might have a copy of it. Sir Richard Birnie then said, a Mr. Youde, Idu this to serve you and clear your character, and you will hear co further edit eats.' Mr. Youde received his License, and the Magistrates complimented him on his good character. Now, Sir, I flatter myself that every candid mind will say the facts are in direct opposition to what The Manning Chronick has stated. " The paragraph goes on to state, 6 To this we have to add, that a tradesman of Hammersmith was peremptorily sent for by the Magistrates and examined, relative to his knowledge of the affair.' This assertion is gromlyfalse, no tradesman was examined by the Magistrates upon the subject alluded to. " The paragraph goes on further to state, that the occasional Meetings of the Magistrates, which halo been long held at Mr. Toude's house, are in future to be removed to Kensington ; true it is to be so, but that order, for changing tkeplace of meeting, was issued full a month before the licensing day, and was occa aimed by so few Magistrates having atteuded at Hammersmith' (the major part living at Kensington and Chelsea), and there fore, at the request of those Magistrates, and for their conveni ence, the place of meeting was changed. In making this appeal, I have only sought to put the Public in possession of facts, and, at the same time, to rescue the characters of meritorious indivi duals from foul, and I think I may say, malignant aspersions. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, ' 4 THOS. J " Clerk to the Magistrates acting for Kensington Division. " September 19, 1821." " P.S. I have learnt from Mr. Youde, that a few days before the paragraph alluded to appeared, a Gentleman, who said he belonged to the Public Press, had called upon him to question Min as to the subject matter, when Mr. Youde said he never identified himself with politics, and after the very handsome man ner in which the Magistrates had behaved to him, he could have nothing more to say. • " Since writing the above, I read in the Morning Chronicle of this day (September 21) another paragraph, stating that the Ma gistrates at a subsequent Meeting had discussed the subject of , the former paragraph, and instituted an inquiry as to its author. That the Parish Clerk was accused of bring its author. Now, Sir, I do solemnly declare, that at the Meeting of the 18th inst. no material discussion took place, nor was there any inquiry in ni:uted as to who was the author. The matter naturally occa sioned a conversation between some of the Magistrates, which took place after the business of the day was over. The Parish Clerk was ii*t there, of course not questioned." Another princely subscription of Five Hundred Pounds has been added to that which we announced yesterday, in favour of Sir ROBERT WILSON. • In an action for defamation,. tried at the Omagh As4izes, in which the Rev. Dr. Hewsox was the plaintiff, and the Rev. Dr. NASH the defendant, there was a verdict for the plaintiff, found by a most re spectable Jary—E4oo damages and costs. BETTING ROOM, SEPTEMBER 24.

A man who some time since ran against the Ipswich coach, from London to Ipswich, and heat it, ran ten u:drs within an hour at Maiden Fair. .The first two miles he accomplished in tune minutes ; the second two, in nine and a half ditto; the third two, in ten ditto; and the whole in fifty seven min utes and a halt PORTSMOUTH, SEPTEMDER eSt. The Portsmouth, Portsea, and Gosport Regatta, under the patronage of the Members for the County of Hants and the 80re.u.. , 1i of P'rtsmouth, the Mayor of Portsmouth, Port Admiral, Lieutenant Governor, and the visitors and inhabitants generally, took place on Monday and Tuesday. On Monday there were three matches: the first consisted of nine sailing wherries, upwards of 25 feet, which, having been placed in a line from the Platform to the Ferret cut ter, started on a signal gun being fired from the cutter, and proceeded round the buoys of the Boyne and Edgar, and a flag-boat moored off the Kicker, round the starting-vessel off the Platform, and per formed that distance twice. The second match con sisted of eight sailing ve,.sels, from th;rt,:en to twenty three tons, which started as above, and proceeded to the eastward of the bury of the Boyne, round the inner buoy of the Horse, the buoy of the Edgar, and a flag-boat stationed otf the Kicker Point, round the starting-vessel, which distance they performed twice. The third match consisted of ten rowing -wherries, of twenty feet and upwards, which started as abo• e, and proceeded inside both the white buoys, round the black buoy of the Swash, then by the west side of the starting-vessel, round her to the COlll FC again, and returned to a line between the St riling cutter and the Platform. Oae of the wherres gave in' during the first heat. On Tuesday, there were three sailing-matches. The first consisted of ten wherries, under twenty-five feet, which proceeded round the same course as those on the preceding day. The se cond match consisted of four sailing vessels, under thirteen tons. The third and last consisted of five vessels, from twenty-three to thirty-five tons. One of which, the Traveller, Judd, carried away her mast in the first heat, and was obliged to be towed in ; the Cygnet, Groves, the favourite vessel, after having gone once round the course with every pro spect of winning the first prize, unfortunately carried away her main-sail halyards, by which means her mail-sail came down, and she was driven to leeward, and unable to pursue the course ; consequently the first prize, fifteen sovereigns, was awarded to the Accommodation. The weather was tolerably favour able both days, and a great number of people were assembled to witness the scene, which was much en livened, on Monday, by the band of the 15th Regi ment, stationed on board the Ferret cutter, off the Platform, which was also gaily dressed in colours.. Every facility was given to the general exertions of the Committee, by E. Arnaud, Esq. and other Gen tlemen of the port. The following is a list of the winning boats : FIRST Mr.—Sailing Wherries, upwards of 25 feet. Packet - - 1 - fi Sovereigns. fno - - - 4 ditto. Bang Up - - - OWEN - - 3 - 3 ditto.

The accident by fire, that recently happened to the Robert Bruce steam packet, while on her passage from Liverpool to Dublin, which caused it to be run on shore and scuttled, has proved more disastrous than was at first anticipated. An attempt to raise the vessel so far succeeded that it was got above water, but at this critical moment the tackle gave way, and the packet was again precipitated to the bottom. The subsequent ekorts were not more successful, and we are sorry to add, that the late gales have rendered the Robert Bruce a total wreck. Lieutenant BERCHEY, son of Sir Wm. BEECHT.Y, is the Officer who is to have the command of the vessel which is intended to sail round the coast, and wait upon the Expedition of Discovery in Egypt. EXECUTION.—The following unfortunate indivi duals were executed this morning, viz. Thomas Pat more, for cutting and wounding General Eden; Thomas Thompson, for street robbery; and George Lee (a Jew), for tittering forged notes of the Bank of England. An amazing concourse of persons were assembled to witness the melancholy spectacle. The case of Patmore was of a peculiar nature, and had excited much interest, the wretched man having been excited by motives of jealousy to commit the act for which he suffered. He had always before that been considered as a man of the meekest disposition. He was perfectly resigned to his fate, and died without ' a struggle. He was attended by the Rev. Mr. SMITH (of Penzance) and the Ordinary of Newgate, in his last moments. Thompson was a notorious bad cha racter, and met his fate with great fortitude. Lee was attended by several persons of the Jewish per suasion ; he seemed much agitated, and his frame was greatly convulsed after being turned off. His brother was on the scaffold with him, but was so much affected that he was obliged to be supported. A hearse attended to convey the body of Lee away for interment, his friends haring obtained permi s sion of the Sheriffs for that purpose. INTENDED MEETING AT JACOPS-Trrus. Our Readers will recollect, that a short time hack little Waddiligt,.n, political bill-sticking celebrity, applied at the Man sion-llsaise, complaining that a placard which he had most industriously posted up in several parts of the City, for the edification of tilt " useful classes," had been mn-t irreverently tors down from several places, in defiance of all decency, and in contempt of the law. and the Constitution. The result of the comphint is also known—that Waddington, not being able to identify the culprits, left the Unice, with intent to repair, as far as he could reach, the injury they had done to the country. The placard in question was as follows: " D:visioa has caused all the mischief we lament, union alone ems retrieve it." " A Public Meeting of the useful Clarses will be boldest on Mond.ty, the 2 , alt instant, at sit o'clock in the evening, at .la. coh's.Wel:s, 13.irbienn, to cansult upon the propriety of present ingan Address of Condolence to th:.

" Printer, 11, lleet-kne." Yesterday evening having been fixed upon for the assemblage ahovementioned, a few individuals were seen, about six o'clock, straggling down the alley which leads to JacOb's-wells. A few minutes before the appointed hour, the Doctor (Watson) made his appeatance. He was soon after joined by two of " the Committee." Accompanied by them, he entered the " Long Room," as it is called (a room capable or holding at the utmost from 150 to 200 persons). He was immediately followed by the landlord (Mr. Windsor), who thus addressed him—(There were at this time about eight persons present). Landlord.—l am sorry, Doctor, to be obliged to inform you that the Meeting cannot take place. The Doctor.—How, Sir ! nc,t take place ?—for what reason, Sir? Landlord.--It cannot take place in my house, Sir. It is not my fault, I assure you; but I have received a message from the Magistrates, informing me, that if I allow the Meeting to b e h e ld h ere , I shall lose my license at the nest licensing day. The Doctor.—Why should our Meeting be pre vented ?It is not an unlawful one. It is a Meeting of Condolence, such as it has been usual to hold on the demise of any member of the Royal Family, and • particularly of a King, or a Queen Consort. There • is nothing unlawful in this, and no person has a right to prevent it. Landlord.—You know, Sir, that I cannot judge of the right. I have only to obey the orders that I hare received, and dare not dispute them. You saw what was done by the Magistrates at Hammersmith. The Doctor.—Yes, but I think the Magistrates of London are too generous and too liberal to follow such an example. Landlord.—l don't know what they may do, but I know what I am to expect, if I disobey their orders. The Doctor.—l know they are very arbitrary. Landlord.—Yes, indeed they are. If your license is suspended, when you come you get no explanation, nor can you ask for any. In this respect they are worse than the Spanish Inquisition, for they Will not tell you your crime, but make you confess it yourself. This conversation continued for some time longer, but it was little more than a repetition of the same observations on both sides, save that the landlord said in reply to the Doctor, that the communication from the Magistrates was a verbal one. He did not► know the person who brought it, but he believed he was an Officer. It was at length interrupted by the entrance of a young man, who informed the Doctor that several persons had come to attend the Meeting, but were prevented from so doing by a notice which the landlord had stuck at the end of the alley, and which stated that it was 'not to take place. Upon this, the Doctor, accompanied by the few persons in. the room, hurried out to see the unauthorized notice. It was to this effect The Public are respectfully informed, that in consequence of unforeseen circum stances the Meeting will not take place." This pla. card by no means pleased the Doctor, who loudly declared that it was insufficient—that the Public I ought to be informed of the true cause of their dis. appointment. Upon this the delinquent notice was torn down, and it was determined that its place should be supplied by one more consistent with truth. The party once more returned to the room, and having clubbed threepence between them, two sheets of cartridge paper were sent for ; upon one of them the Doctor wrote a notice, of which the following is a literal copy : " The Landlord hawing been told that he would have his licence suspended if the Meeting takes place, it will be held oa a future day and due notice given." This (with the exception of the bad spelling) was copied by another of the party, and both were posted up in two conspicuous places in the neighbourhood of the house. In the meantime, a young man, who belonged to the house, and who had not heard the account given by the landlord, entered the room, and (anxious, as it appeared, to remove all blame from his employer) told a very different story. He stated, that the person who brought the order not to have the Meeting, was the collecting clerk of their brewer (Mr. Calvert), and that it would be of, no use to dis pute what he said. He added, that Mr. Wontner, one of the City Marshals, had been there in the course of the day, but had said nothing against the Meeting. He only observed, that he would have men in attendance, to preserve the peace, if necessary. After the two bills had been posted up, Dr. Wat• son, who seemed determined to make a speech, came . to the door, and addressed the few individuals who still remained about it. He informed them of their unexpected failure; but observed, that the object of dime (whoever they were) who had prevented the Meeting would be defeated ; for, lie had no doubt, "the Committee" would take care that a Meeting should be held in some place, which would hold as many thousands as that of which they had just been deprived would contain hundreds. He then thanked them for their attendance, and advised them to retire peaceably to their respective homes. After a slight cheer for the radical Doctor's eloquence, the little group separated. MARRIAGE EXTRAORDINARY.—At Staffordstown, in Ireland, Master JAMES CUNNINGHAM, a youth of 74. years, four feet two inches high, to the amiable Miss RICIIARDgON, a little turned of her 50th yen —both of Dorrygnwan.
