Lon Don. SUNDAY, JULY 25. . REVOLUTION IN NAPLES. The revolutionary movement among the troops was observable on the day previous to the departure of the Messengers from Naples. Two regiments expressed their wish of being governed constitution ally, and multitudes of soldiers rushed to their party; Prince Campo Chiaro was the promulgator of their sentiments to the King, who found himself obliged to conform to their views, and prepare a constitution within the space of eight days. The whole business seems to have been well arranged and matured— the utmost secrecy must have been observed—the insurrection spread with the rapidity of lightning, and every peasant that could procure a firelock, or weapon of any sort, followed the example of the troops. The Court was dismayed at these proceedings, but they became too general and too formidable to be resisted. The important movement originated with the military, the only organ by which the Rulers could overawe or coerce the people. An ar bitrary Government cannot exist a moment without the support of the military, and Naples must soon enjoy all the political benefits of Spain. The pub lic mind is too much enlightened in every country for the people to suffer the degradation which they experienced in the dark ages of tyranny and super stition. The revolution in Spain cannot fail to have a great influence on neighbouring nations, and we look to it with hope as the forerunner of speedy and momentous events.

The attempt to 'prevent petitioners from being heard against the Bill mash appear very singular, Lord Liverpool seemed to imagine that Mr. Tilloch and the other petitioners aimed at having • the comparative merits of different plans examined. This, however, is not the object of Mr. Tilloch's Petition : the preamble to the Bill states, that " the Governor and Company of the Bank of England have, after great consideration, labour, and expense, formed a new plan for printing Bank Notes, in which the ground-work of each Bank Note will be black or coloured, or black and coloured line-work," with certain words " upon a black, sable, or dark ground, such grousul containing white lines inter secting each other," &c. Mr. 'l'illoeh says that this allegation is not true—that, on the contrary, the plan was formed by him, after much consideration, labour and expense (of which he has never been reimbursed one farthing), and was by him • laid before the Bank in 1797; and this fact he intends to prove at the Bar of the House. In the course of Thursday, a general seizure was made throughout the Metropolis by the Excise Offi cers, of the article called " Hunt's breakfast pow ders." The affair is likely to become a matter of legal investigation. Rosemary comes under the same objection, as it is sold to make a beverage called " Rosemary tea," which is prescribed in ner vous complaints by the physicians. Review at Houn4otv.—Friday a Grand Review took place on Hounslow Heath. A great concourse of people assembled there at an early hour, and a number of carriages; filled by persons of distinction, were also on the ground. This great assemblage was occasioned qy the announcement in the publio papers that the King was to review the two Regi ments of Life Guards, and the Horse Guards (blue.) A corps of Lancers were stationed at the Lodge, near the roadside at Hounslow, in their full uni— forms, and a considerable number of Staff Officers, for the purpose of receiving his Majesty upon his arrival. An express however arrived to the Hon. Captain Cathcart, announcing that his Majesty would be unable to attend, but that the Commander in Chief might be momentarily expected. The Orderly had time to deliver hiS message when his Royal Highness the Duke of York appeared in sight, dressed ,in his fill Field Marshal's uniform, accompanied by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambr.dge, also in full uniform, and the Duke of Wellington, mounted on a beautiful chesnut-co loured Arabian, and dressed in his regimentals, as Colonel of the Blues. These illustrions personages drove to Hounslow in their carriages & man mounted their chargers at the entrance to. the Heath, where dragoons had them in readiness. When they . came on the ground at eleven o'clock, they were immedi ately surrounded by a large body of officers of rank, who conducted them to the eastern part ; of the Heath, where the two regiments of Life Guards and the Blues were formed in line. The Review im mediately commenced, and the troops went through their evolutions in fine military order until agar two o'clock, when some heavy showers of rain com ing on, they were ordered off' the ground, and the Royal Dukes drove back to town in their carriages. The Duke of Wellington, attended by an officer, drove home in a curricle and pair. His Majesty was prevented from being present at the Review injconsequence of an attack of the gout. Review of the Coldstream Guards.—Yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, the Qd battalion of the Coldstream Guards was reviewed in Hyde Park, by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, their Colonel. His Royal Highness took his station in front, and the regiment passed him in review in an excellent state of discipline. The corps formed near the magasine ; and their band was stationed in the centre, and played martial airs during the review. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge looked in excellent health, and was accompanied by Gene rals Hill and Keate, and several other officers of' dis tinction. The ceremony of firing a salute was dis pensed with by desire of his Royal Highness The House of' Lords is expected to adjourn on Monday until Thursday, she 17th of August, the day fixed for the second reading of the Bill of Divorce and of Pains and Penalties against the Queen. An official return to an order of the House of Commons states the total amount of Bank notes and Bank post bills in circulation, in the week ending the 4th July, 18:20, at 22,397M01.; and in the • week ending the 11th at 26,210,30C1. This great increase in the latter week is chiefly to be ascribed to the payment of the dividends. The Select Committee un the practicability of the consumption of smoke issuing from furnaces, steam-engines, and different works, have made their report. It appears from a mass of evidences that it is perfectly practicable, and that the consumption of smoke would not only be a very great saving of fuel, but %coda also be less prejudicial to public health and public comfelt: LAW INTELLIGENCE.

King. •the. defendant, been induced to advance the . sum of &WI. for the .purchase of an annuity of 1041. Tne defendant, whom she appointed her agent on the occasion, awned her that the bargain would be highly advantageous, and that the annuity was secured by the utienritinksered life interests of two gentlemen, oneof whom.Wkitmore.was abroad, for the education of his children. kw* ascer tained, however, after the money had been that those two securities were insolvent, and That their life interest had been actually sold before the nesociation . wis entered into. The plaintiff had now no prospect of getting back tier purchase money, the security being absolutely void, and was compelled to adopt proceedings against her agent. The learned counsel said, his client would be satisfied with her purchase money, and five per cent. interest.
