THE ARMY. - . Lieutenant -colonel Commandant of the Ist Royals? a rrived to Clonmel on Saturday last. The Adjutants and a number of , the Non - commissioned Officers oi the sclera ] Reg iments in Ireland have repaired to Dublin and °ark, to be instructed in the new military exercise. F r iday, the 29th Regiment of Foot, quartered In Limerick, re. . o ii e d a letter of readinesi to replace the 39th, at Tralee. The 59th are to occupy the stations of the 29th iu Limerick gar-' Woo and district. T w ain, the 23d ult. a detachment of the Pontoon Train rowed Titer from Chatham, and landed at the wharf below Maidstone i im ik s ; soon after ten Colonel Pastze arrived, and they com hteked operations by landing and taking to pieces the pontoons ; th e y then put them together and formed a bridge across the Med i*, Oier which a detachment from the Cavalry Depot passed in jingle and double files, mounted and dismounted. The spectators Were then invited to pass along, and the numbers which were seen It one time on the bridge, and the rapidity with which the pon iooni were landed, dismantled, refitted, and relaunched, must leave oil the mind of every beholder a high idea of the pitch of perfection to **hid Colonel Panay has brought this important branch of the service. P4RISLLV F.fSHION.S P a r ekgotttes have lately assumed a novel form of bonnet with a ta o t a eroirn and broad brim. They are mostly made of chip, and nd round with a broad turquoise blue ribbon. Gowns of gros e t Ades, of a light grey colout, are trimmed with a wreath of daisies or tulips made of satin. Book muslin frocks are worked round the bottom with five rows of sun flowers, in orange coloured Cousin. Some of our fashionables have appeared in silk gowns, with checked muslin long sleeves and worked muslin cuffs, which fall back almost to the elbow. Cambric muslin redingote's, with two capes, trimmed with muslin frills in large plaits are very generally ivorn. Many bonnets are made of gauke and crape, trimmed with Win and oroanicutcd with flowers. THE THEATRES. DRURY-LANE. The campaign was opened at this House last night kith the Comedy of The Rivals. Upon the rising of the curtain GOD save the King was given, and rap turously encored. The Comedy was marked by Some of the finest acting of which many of its cha tacters are susceptible. All the performers were, on their entrance, received in a manner which might teasonably excite their pi ide, and which seemed not to be lost upon their feelings. To Mr. ELLISTON (who ivas greeted by long continued and universal applause), this remark, in both respects, is peculiarly applicable.— Mr. Dow Ton's Sir Anthony has long been one of the select favourites of the Public, and it was never more deserving such a distinction than last night. The Cap tain Absolute of ELLISTON was full of matter for ad tairation. His sly compliance with Sir Anthony's wishes, and his Is ch rallies when the old Gentleman discovers the cheat, were equally in the true spirit. WALLACK gave to Falkland all the spirit of which it is susceptible. HAautv's Acres was highly ludicrous. Mr. WALLER tirade his first appearance on the London boards in the part bf Sir Lucius trTrigger. KNIGHT gave the little he had to do in David with his unique and ludicrous simplicity. Miss LYDIA KELLY, was known to the town audience live years ago, and she is now returned with so much of IMprovement, in every respect, as to be a valuable sup port to the Company. After the Comedy, a new Comic Sketch was pro duced, under the title of Stella and Leatherlungs ; or, A Star and a Strolki, written for that admirable child, CGARA FISHER. Its foundation consists in the rehearsals bkhe little prodigy at a country theatre, where she is ingaged to play. She rehearses scenes in the parts of iitngloss, Shylock, Falsity); and Norval ; and the corre ipianding characters are represented by HARLEY. But the most astonishing part of this child's performance fonsists in the apparently matured force of conception *jilt which she seizes upon the passions as well as upon the frivolities of character. A very pleasant Ballet concluded the performances, in which Mr. and Mrs. NOBLE, Mr. and Mrs. OSCAR BYRNE, and Miss TREE took the chief parts. It was fiery successful. COVENT-GARDEN. This Theatre also opened last night for the season. The house was well attended, and the decorations which have been supplied called forth. the unmixed approba tion of those to whose gratification they were intended to contribute. The curtain rose at seven o'clock, and Mr. Fawotrr and a numerous muster of vocal and other performers came forward to sing GOD Save the King. • They met with a most cordial reception; but the loyal strain was often interrupted by the fervent applause of the specta tors. When it closed, the cry of "encore" resounded from all parts of the house. The curtain again rose, and the anthem was repeated, and rewarded with the loudest acclamations of the gratified audience. When the Play commenced, the principal performers tiperienceJ a very flattering recognition on their first entrance. Miss CHESTER and Mr. C. KESIBLE were Particularly distinguished; they sustained the charac ters cf Beatrice and Benedict, in the Play of the night, Which was Much Ado about Nothing and the gay and grateful varieties which they threw into those most Captivating characters, called forth incessant plaudits, And proved that wit and humour and SRA KSPEA RE are not likely Soon to be out of date. The Play has been kinesthat pruned in modern times to make it accord With a degree of refinement which did uct formerly exist ; but enough of the vivacity which originally be longed to Much Ado about Nothing. is retained to make It a most effective acting Play. Of this the audience SW the Actors of last night incessantly reminded each fitlier. The fascinating playfulness of Miss CHESTER nevet more happily drawn forth, and Mr. C. 'Cass ius was completely himself. More need not, indeed tannot be said in praise of his Benedict. FARREN and KEELE T gave infinite comic importance to Dog berry and Verges; ABBOTT combined judgment with energy in Claudio ; EGERTON was a good Leonato ; and the remaining characters, filled with corresponding abi lity, left nothing to be wished. The afterpiece of Rosina followed, in which the Isar ficinions warblingi of Miss M. TREE charmed the lovers of song, as the heroine; she was loudly encored in 4 While with Village Maids," Btc. Miss HALLANba Was inch adMired as .William and Cormon's Fatrick fur nished a rich bit of broad humour and hate Irish brogue to finish the treat. Both Play and Enteriainment went off in the best possible style. MURDER OF D i s.

THE KL.VG'S ENTRANCE INTO WINDSOR. WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY' EVENING. In co nsequence of its being ascertained that every preparation had been completed in the arrangements for the reception of his MAJESTY at his Palace, Wind sor Castle, and that the KING, would this day take up his residence permanently in the apartments which have been for some time preparing for his reception, this Bo rough exhibited for some days past every symptom of the utmost possible anxiety to render his reception, by the Coi poration and the inhabitants, most grateful and flattering to the feelings of his MAJESTY. A Requi sition, signed by above forty of the principal resident Gentlemen and most respectable inhabitants of this town, was addressed to the Mayor on the 26th of September, requesting him to call a Public Meeting of the inhabi tants, to take into consideration a suitable Address to be presented " to our beloved sovereign on the auspicious occasion of his MAJESTY'S commencing his residence at the Castle of Windsor:' The Mayor appointed the meeting for Monday, the 29th of September, a Com- Mittee having been appointed to take into consideration the subject of the necessary arrangements. At the general meeting it was resolved that the most cordial and respectful reception should be given to his MAJESTY by a procession of the Corporation and other Gentlemen, from the Town Hall to the end of the Long Walk in the Great Park nearest to Windsor; by a pub lic and general illumination of the town on the night of his taking up his residence; and by a splendid ex hi. bition of fire-works in the Great Park. His MAJESTY 11, aving graciously intimated, that he would dine at the Castle of Windsor on Wednesday, the Ist of October, and proceed thither about three o'clock, the greatest alacrity was displayed by the Committee in making the preparations which had been resolved on. A subscrip tion had been agreed to be set on foot amongst the inha bitants, and the Corporation at once voted 50/. to this fund, which, by the Report of the Sub-Committees, was found to exceed, on the 4th of September, 3671.55. and which hid since been verycon.iderably augmented. The Committee appointed for conducting the enter tainment of the poor, determined on having an ox With two sheep, roasted whole and entire, in addition to a vast variety of joints, which had been ordered from all the inns in Windsor, which kept their kitchens fully em ployed both yesterday morning and the whole of the day before, and it was resolved the Public should take their dinner at a long range of tables under the trees in the Long Walk, as the only place capable of containing so great a multitude. The tables occupied an extent of ground under the trees, on the tight-hand side of the Walk, of nearly 500 yards in length, and being accom modated with a row of benches on each side, it was calculated they would dine about 3,000 persons ; the guests had been only such as were furnished with tickets for the dinner by the Committee, and consisted solely of those persons resident in or about Windsor. The expectations of every one were considerably de pressed, by the appearance of the morning, of his MA JESTY'S entree. The whole night previous it rained without intermission ; the streets of Windsor were flooded by the rain ; the great materiel, as the French term it, for a fete cliampetre (fine weather), was found wanting. The grand approach by the Long Walk was in many places over flowed by pools or water, underneath the tables intended for the dinner of expecting thousands. A meeting of the Committee was called together ; the result of their deliberations was, that as the enter tainment of the populace would be materially and pre judicially affected by the unpropitious state of the wea ther, they had considered it most conducive to the general gratification, that the public dinner out of doors, which had by an amendment to the former reso lution been fixed for Wednesday, should be postponed, in hopes of more favourable weather, to the next day. The bellmae, in announcing this disappointment, had also stated that the procession of the townspeople would take place at three o'clock to the gate of the Long Walk, preceded by a band of music, to meet his MAJESTY on his approach to the town. The Market-place and other avenues were quickly deserted for the Long Walk and that part of the High street leading from the Long Walk to the Castle. Some time before three o'clock the deputation of Gentlemen, consisting of about 70 persons, preceded by the Charity Children of Windsor Parish, each wearing favours, blue and white, and headed by the waving banners of the Borough, and the band of the Oxford Blues, proceeded to the Long Walk, where they were halted and drawn up in two lines on each side of the greensward which skirts the road leading to his NIAJESTY'S late residence, called the Cottage, in Windsor Great Park. Nearly three quarters of an hour had elapsed before the arrival of some post-coaches containing some of his MAJESTY'S domestics prepared the crowd for his approach. A carriage and pair containing Lord GRAVES, Sir W. KNIGHTON, and Colonel THORNTON, soon after followed. At a quarter to four, the helmets of the Oxford Blues appeared in the long distance, the view being unim peded for nearly three miles along this beautiful avenue to the Palace. The arrangements were rapidly com pleted by the Mayor, JOHN CHAPMAN, Esq. At the arrival of the KING near the Pyrotechnic station, about half a mile distant up the Walk, a shout of congratu lation announced that his MAJESTY himself had ap proached. The cortege soon after reached the Deputa tion ; it consisted of two of his MAJESTY'S outriders, in state liveries, with frock coats, an advanced guard of the Horse Guards (Blues), with an Officer, two outriders, the Royal Carriage, drawn by four horses, the carriage perfectly plain, with a small coronet painted on the door pannel in a lighter shade, of the same colour On it were his MAJESTY, the Hero of many battles in his country's service, and the favouthe of his SOVEREIGN, with the Duke of DORSET. The next carriage contained the Marquis of Co artstGaAst, Lord F. CONYNGHAM, and General Sir WILLIAM KEPPLE, preceded by two outriders of his MAJESTY'S Household. The third carriage contained Sir WILLIAM CONGREVE, General UPTON, and two other of his MaJagtv's Equerries. The cortege was concluded by about a company of the Oxford Blues, together *ith a few post-coaches. The cordial shouts of congratulation with which his MAJESTY was received when the band struck up God stave the King, must be highly gratifying to the feelings of his MAJESTY, whis Most graciously acknowlCdged the cordiality of his re ception by frequent inclinations of his head; owing, however, to the rain and chilling wind, the glasses of his Mbitsrini carriage were up. The cavalcade mofed up High.street And Castle-street into the Lower Castle gate. amidst continued acclamations. During the evening, bands or music paraded the town, and a splendid general illurnidatiOri took place, which sots fgandred by in Ihtettnissicifi of the taih. The illu ebrisisted of i variett Of ipproiriite ,ptihCipillt Of the Motel Arms) the initials and . . • !emblems of the Crown. The company at the dinner of ' his MAJESTY, on his arrival at the Castle, consisted of the cortege which attended him and the Usual Roy2lin mates. We are happy to say his MAJESTY looked re markably well, ar,d in good spirits. Oa his arrival in the Castle, a discharge of artillery took place at the , Pyrotechnic Station in the Long Walk, and at eight o'clock a display of fire-works took place in the same place, under the direction of Mr. Soutitav, of Vauxhall celeb: ity. Notwithstanding the dampness of the evening, the Pyrotechnic spectacle occasioned considerable grati fication to a crowded assemblage collected in the Long Walk. Rockets of all kinds shed an illumination over the fins alley of trees, which would have been extremely beau tiful were it not for the unfavourable state of the weather; as it was, 4r. Sotyriinv combated the opposing element with considerable success, and some of his fie-woik, were equal to the best efforts of his skill at Vauxhall- Gardens: he exhibited the transparency of his Majesty which was at Vauxhall on the King's birth-day. The inclemency of the weather abated at nightfall, and the Park was considerably thronged during the are-works; but the dampness which still prevaile I I eaderell the play comparatively ineffectual, and the promenade cold and unpleasant. The utmost order prevailed through out the town during the evening. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. NAVAL APPOINTMENTS. CAPTAINS. Charles P. 14. Yorke, to the Alacrity. Rawdon Maclean, to the Bustard.

It was com pleted on Friday, and was tried off Deptford on Saturday afternoon, in the presence of Captain Prosaot., who commands tho &MLLE ; Mr. &rota, the Master-builder of the Dock-yard; Mr. Bolus, the inventor: and several others interested in the event. The topmast was lowered, without starting a rope of the rigging, in one minute after the first word of command was given, and was hoisted again without difficulty ; the new lever-fid answering its intended pur pose with the greatest perfection. The Tama', now in dock at Deptford, has also been ordered to be fitted with lever-tids on Mr. Itorcies plan, and there is no doubt but they will be generally adopted in the Navy. Fa LMOUTII.

Betting was fa . to 4, Ben Burns' man against Sam Bedoe. 'lee race excited;mbre than ordinary interest. Defoe had forfeited twice to this yclrpt runner, and his fame int-ned aside all the fine runners in the king. dom. Getting no match, his friends gave ten yards in ClO to Be doe, who had before beat him at Walsall, in a race which afforded much sporting interest. The match upon this occasion was 11.0 yards, Bedoe receiving 10. The rice was won by Bediie by half a yard. The strugAle was grand, and the people were satiAed that the seat of nonsense was banished front thence. ANOTLIEN. Skellit engaged to do seven miles in one hoar, in a walk, for a rump and dozen. This was an aftc-ridiimer • twitch on Ashfiird Common. The pedestrian having been :Wowed two hours, started strong at his work ; but Nature found nut he was not competent, and he turned up the thing half a mile from home. FAILURE Or M`MULLEN IN WALKING EtcHTFEN MILES IN TIIIIE6 succasitvu llocas.—At twenty minutes before three o'clock on Monday afternoon, Barnard M• Mullen started from Nether Bridge, to walk 18 mile; in three successive hour;, on the Burton road. lle wore a plaid waistcoat, white trousers, worsted stockings, and light shoes, and walked without the aid of a stick. The wind was •c -tremely high, and very detrimental to hi: undertaking, nevertheless he persevered in the attempt until he accomplished 16 miles, at which time he had remaining fur the last two only 15 minutes, and in consequence of exhaustion, he relinquished the task. •file sp: s tators were chiefly of tile lower class, and of course the cotttrihu'im ns were very trifling. We understand they did not exceed 4s. Being ' thus disappointed, he abandoned the inzention of w.slkiug on Thurs day, and left Kendal on 'f uesday fur Amblesitle, where hr w.ss to walk yesterday.—Kendul armicle. DREADFUL COACH ACCIDENT.—Tuesday, about 12 o'clock, a di eadful accident happened near the park wall of the Duke of Northumberland, at Sig n One of the western coaches, fully loaded, was on its pas sage up to town, xviien the offleade: suddenly became restive. A loaded coal-waggon was passing in the oppo, site direction, and before the coachman could curb the horse, he got entangled %N kb those in the waggon, and the coach instantly upset. The accient was altogether so sudden, that no skill or esei ;inn of the Coachman or waggoner mild have prevented it. The consequences were, however, most distressing. The coachman, guard, and outside passengers, «ere ail thrown to a consider able distance. A woman, with an infant in her arms, fell against the waggon. The child was killed on the spot, one arm of the mother broken, and the other dis located at the shoulder. Another woman, in attempt ing to rise, found that her leg was broken. The sound leg of a sailor (with a wooden one) was dreadfully frac tured, and the unfortunate tar was also shockingly bruised about the head and shoulders. Most of the outside passengers were mote or less injured. Of four inside passengers, three us•cre dreadfully cut by e:e glasses of the coach, which were up at die time it Was overturned. Those with fractured limbs were conveyed to St. George's Hospital, and the others received every assistance that Medical skill and attentio❑ could afford. The Salisbury coach, on its retain front Fontbill, upset on Monday evening within about three hunched yards from the Abbey, at a sudden s declivity in the road through the demesne. There. were about ten outside, and two inside passenger , . On descending the hill where the ;oad turns off to Hindon, the reins broke; the horses became unmanageable, and the coach was dashed on one side against a tree, with such violence, as to throw the outside passengers off; but, in consequence of fall ing against the tree, the coach did not completely over turn, otherwise some of the unfortunate people must have been inevitably crushed to death. The coachman, who is said to be a steady man, had his thigh broken, and is otherwise so much injured as to make his survival a matter of doubt. One Gentleman has a leg broken. Four others were severely butt, by cuts, sprains, and contusions; among the rest an elderly Gentleman, one of the inside passengers, was much cut in the head; his wife, who was with him, escaped unhuit. No blame whatever can be attached to the coachman, as the horses became unmanageable in consequence of one of them having his leg entangled 'A ith the traces, which shortly after gave way. Every assistance I% as given to the sufferers, both by the persons who wete passing through the demesne, and the inmates of the Abbey. An easy wain was provided with beds, by the servants of Mr. Phillips, and they were taken to Hindon to obtain surgical relief. None of the cases are likely to prove mortal. One of the persons butt was able to leave by the Bath coach, which came up immediately after. FATAL EFFECTS OF FEAR..-•••A Mall of colour, of middle age, rather above the common stature, robust, and apparently in good health, was received into the London Hospital, labouring under a moderate-sized aneurism of the femoral artery : an operation was pro. posed to him, to which he readily assented : on entering the theatre, however, he fainted; some wine and water was given to him, which he distinctly swallowed, a id the operation was proceeded in, the artery expobeJ, and the ligature applied but not tightened. During the ope ration, it was observed that no pulsation could be felt in the tumour, but this was accounted for by the faint ing: before tightening the ligature, it was sugges:ed by the operator to wait until the pulsation was le.es a blished : some increased attention was then paid to arouse the dormant energies of the patient, and it was reniarked that the syncope continued an unusual time. After the attempt had been. some time persevered its, a more attentive observation proved that he was quite dead. All the usual resuscitative means were tried, but without effect; On dissection,, both sides, of tile. 4eitre were found empty, and the• lonektorgi4 with 14004:4to (*het partitular appearance gab ebswesble. • • .••• • . - -
