There were several canal boats in readiness to receive them and convey them to Liverpool, to be em barked for Ireland, where they are to do duty at the Castle, In the room of the Ist battalion of the Grenadiers, or Ist regiment, who are under orders for England. At Paddington they were met by numerous bodies of men and women, old acqmintances from Westminster, wimp were desirous to see them depart. They are all young men, pertly dref.ed from the 2d battalion in the Bird Cage-walk. They embarked in good order, and very ex peolitionsly. It is understood that the Lieutenant Governorship of New Brown% ick, which has become vacant in con sequence of the death of Major-General G. S. Smyth, has been offered to Major-Oeneral Sir P.

RIGHT OF CARRYING THE CROWN OF SCOTLAND. Oar readers will recollect the circumstance of the trial of right which took place before the Privy Council some time ago, full reports of which appeared in our Paper— the parties being, the claimant Archibald, Lord Douglas, of Douglas—the opposer of that claim, which was " to carry the Crown of Scotland before the King in all pro- cessions in Scotlant'," being the Doke of Hamilton and Brandon. The Most Honourable presented their report to the King in Council, on the Bth inst. That was read at the Court at Carlton House on the 16th inst.. when his Majesty having been pleased to take the same into ronsideratton, was pleased, by and with the advice of his Privy Council, to approve ther.of. After detailing the Petition of Lord Douglas, and the Memorial of the Duke of Hamilton and Brawl" the report SO confirmed de clares, that their Lordships reported to his Majesty that the privilege expressed in the several Charters produced, extruded only to carrying the Crown of the Ancient Kingdom of Scotland in Parliament; and that, there fore, supposing the privilege so granted can be consi dered as existing, the claim of the Lord Douglas to an heritable right to carry such Crown in the late proces sion from the Palace of Holyrood to the Castle of Ellin burgh, does not appear to them to have been made out, the bearing of such Crown in such procession not being a bearing in Parliament; and that, therefore it rested with his Majesty to appoint such person as his Majesty might think fit to perform that ceremony; but the claim of the Lord Douglas of the office of carrying such Crown, being a claim of an heritable right, their Lord ships are of opinion that the same may be discussed and decided upon in a Court of Law, as other claims of he ritable others have been discussed and decided. This, therefore, his Majesty has been graciously pleased to ap prove of. On the night of the 15th inst. the lightning struck the Cathedral of Strasbourg, melted the lead which cemented 'Avers! stones, and destroyed the sound of the largest bell. FeeDING or ENGINS Bottmas.—Thomas Hall, En gineman to the Glasgow Water Company, having re marked the waste of tire, when a steam engine stops working, has, instead of letting in a constant supply of water into the boiler to compensate for the loss, red om wended that at each time the engine is stopped, water to the depth of 16 inches above its usual level be .poured in, by which when the working is resumed there as a sufficient supply of hot water, the steam is ready the moment it is required, and no, increase of fuel, to beat recently introduced fluid, is necessary. He has himself put this method into practice, and, however simple, it promises to be the means of a very great new. Nave ow Courses.—On Monday sennight, a man of the name of Whitehouse, a labourer, gave information at our Police Office, that he was digging in a garden belonging to one Theodore Moore, r.siding near Vauxhall, in this tewn, he felt his spade repeatedly come in contact with a bard substance, when on a further examination he discover ed that the soil where he was digging and on which cabbages had been planted, was not of very considerable depth, and That it was supported by a boarded Boor, composed of a quantity of planks. His curiosity led him to examine far ther, and on removing one of the planks he discovered a large cave, about seven feet deep, and 12 feet wide. The man, to corroborate his tale, produced some base money, consisting of shillings and half-crowns,which he said he Lad picked up near the spot. Tile officers on receiving this in formation, lost no time in proceeding to the place, but en happily for the ends of justice, they arrived too late. The parties suspected, it appears, what was plotting against them, and were found busily engaged in filling up the hole. On searching, however, the officers discovered a stamping block, which had evLivntly the appearance of a press hav ing been recently fixed thereon.but this latterarticle had been timely secreted. The family of the Moores, consisting of the 2 men and a woman, were taken into custodv,and onMonday were brought up for examination at our Puh,ic Office, when vto evidence appearing agaigst' them (Whitehouse having absconded), and nothing has'fng bees found on their premi ses sufficient to criminate them, they were discharged. It is suspected that Whitehouse was equally criminal with the others, but that he had been led to give the information in consequence of a quarrel having arisen between them, and his absconding arose probably from the influence of a bribe •r from a suspicion, that while endangering the lives of his associates, be might he unconsciously bringing his own In somewhat of peril.—(l3irmingkons Chronicle.) THE STATESMAN THEATRE OF MAUR:. NSW ENTERTAINMENT. (mac TUB DUBLIN MORNING POST, JULY 23.) A nemeroes and faabionable audience attended the above Theatre la Grafton-street last evening, to witness Mr. Charles's entertainments ; consisting of Philosophical and Mechanical amusements, experiments in Electricity, illusi ons In Ventriloquism, &c. When tie performance was about to commence. Mr. Doo ley, High Constable, passed in on the stage, and on the cur tain being raised, it disclosed the High Constable standing behind hi r. Charles. Mr. Charles addressing the audience, said that he was on 'er the painful necessity of requesing their indulgenoe, whilst lie woald address a few words to them.... He stated, that it was now nine years since be that exhibited his per formances in this Ally, and that he took out a licence for that purpose from the then Lord Mayor. That he under stood it was the custom for thy Lord Itlayor and Sheriffs to have their own freedom, and two orders for admission each, to which he had no possible objection ; but that, in conse quence of so many claiming this right, namely, the Lord- Mayor, the two Sheriffs, the Sub-Sheriff, this High-Consta ble, the Seeretary endthe Clerk, which amounted to hiorders, nightly, he was induced on a former occasion, to refuse ad- mission to those orders, and suffered two hours' imprison ment on that account. In the present instance he applied to the Lord Mayor for a Remus. which he was to have paid for, stating, at the . same time, his willingness to allow two orders nightly to the Lord Mayor and the two Sheriffs, being six in all. This arrangement the Lord Mayor was dis posed to accede to. until Mr. Crawford came in and talked of its being the custom to admit the orJers of all the other persons. The Lord Mayor then refused to grant him a licence, until he (Mr. Charles) signed a book to the effect of his recognising those orders, which he declined doing. lie came to this country a stranger— he was grateful for the kindness and attention which he received, and for the support which he experienced: he was exercising his talents, such as they were, not in any manner that could be considered as ohjectionahle—his entertainments were, for the greater part, philosophical recreations, and to youth, particularly combined in struction with amusement. He was living in this coon. try for several years, a householder, spending his pro perty here; he respected the laws, and was willing to obey them ; but perhaw, lie might he permitted to say. that in America he never experienced an interruption of that nature. On former occasions he has had his little Theatre crowded by persons coming in on those unlimited orders, when there has been scarcelyany money received, and he had, of course, to meet all the expenses. On the preceding evening, the first night of his per formances this season, a Constable was placed at the doors, and,carriages full of company were kept waiting there; ladies were compelled to stood in the rain in the street for some time, before the doors were allowed to be opened. _ _ _ _ Mr. Charles then said, that Mr. Dooley, tit, High Con stable, came bearing a letter, which the Lord Mayor bad sent him, and which be would read to the company. He then read the letter: it was addressed to the High Constable, was dated Tuesday evening, eight o'clock, and was to the effect, that he (the Chief Constable) should proceed to Mr. Charles's Exhibition, and close it forthwith. Loud cries of 0 1 Shame," " Shame," followed the reading' of this letter. Mr. Dooley stated that what he did was contrary to his• feelings, but that it was his duty to act as he bad been directed. He (Mr. Dooley) never sent in an order. A Gentleman offered to pay for the amount of the number of orders required, and proposed that Mr. Charles should admit them, and let the performance proceed. Another made a similar offer, and tendered a five pound note for that purpose. A eldrtl suggested that a subscription should be set on foot among the audience, and that tickets should be purchased with the money, and sent to the Mansion. house. Mr. Dooley said, that he could not listen to such dis respectful language. Ile then withdrew. The performanre then commenced; before the first act was over Mr. Doole returned, and during the second, Mr. Charles, in sett ling one of his wire co nductors ? for the experiments in electricity, apologized to the com pany for his not having every thing sufficiently pre pared. in consequence of the interruptions lie had rape rienced; and took occasion to mention thAt Mr. Dooley had brought him word that the Lord Mayor would per mit the entertainments to go on for that evening. but that on to-morrow (this evening) a guard of soldiers should be sent to the doors to prevent it. The entertainments of the evening were then mum ed, and passed off with admired good humour and des• terity on the part of Mr. Charles, and frequent bursts of applause on that of the audience. At the conclusion. Mr. Charles stated that he would, if he was permitted, have the honour of repeating his performances this evening, and every evening during the week. JULY 24. Last evening, a numerous assembly attended at the door of the Little Theatre in Grafton Street, in the ex pectation of being amused by Mr. Charles's entertain ing and instructive Exhibition. Previous to the hour ants& nted for opening the Theatre, Mr. Dooley and two Peace Officers arrived, and taking their station at the inner door leading to the Theatre, r. fused to let any of the company pass.—After a lapse of some time spent in ineffectual efforts on the part of the visitors,it was suggest ed by some Gentlemen that they should form themselves into a Committee, and come to some resolution on the subject, and call a public meeting, either to remonstrate or express the public opinion on the transaction. Mr. Charles then applied to the Chief Constable, and requested that he would Permit the company to pass into the Theatre, merely ter the purpose of discussing, as a party of gentlemen, what course should be adopted under those circumstances. Mr. Dooley replied, that if Mr. Charles would give him his word that no perform. ance should go on, he would allow the company to pass. Mr. Charles gave his word that no performance should go on that evening, the doors were then thrown open, and the Theatre in a few minutes was nearly filled.— Several gentlemen having expressed their opinions on the subject, a resolution was ultimately adopted, and signed by many gentlemen: it was to the effect, that they should form themselves into a Committee, and wait on the Lord Mayor this thy, with a view towards effect ing an amicable arrangemeot between his Lordship and Mr. Charles. Portsmouth Harbour has at present a very gay appear. ance, where the Royal yacht is moored, and several I other vessels, preparatory to the embarkation of his Ma jesty, which takes place next week. The numerous pleasure yachts which cruise occasionally off the Isle of Wight attract also mach company. Portsmouth has not been so crowded with strangers for years as at present. EMILY ELIZABIITH BLAKIL—In consequence of the publicity given in the Papers to the case of the above injured girl, her reputed father attended before Sir Ri chard Birnie and several of the gentlemen connected with the Mendicity Establishment, yesterday, and sa tisfactorily explained his conduct towards the poor girl. It appears that soon after her mother's will was made, appointing her father and Godfrey, Hall joint executors; the former renounced his appointment, leaving the sole executorship to Hall, who converted the whole of the property bequeathed to her to his own use, by the most fraudulent methods. We have seen the will, whereby this poor girl is justly entitled to upwards of 1,00 W.— Hall is not to be fauna, although inquiries have been made fur him every where. The poor girl still re• mains under the protection of the society, till a provision is made for her by her father. THEATRICALS. ENGLISH °PARA Hove s. —We were last night present at the third representation of the character of Giles, in the Miller': Arid,by Mr. RATNIR. We have been more reserved in oar encomiums on this actor's performance than weeliould have been, bad we not deemed it an im perious duty to shew that what we anticipated of hi. talents, from their effect on his performance at Drury Lane, was fully borne out by the general voice •of the town,in contempt of the malevolent attack upon his ab - lities, and our integrity, by a weekly Journal, to which we were compelled to allude. He has now substantiated his claim to the public patronage ; he has received it with that cordiality w ith w hi c h taent is ever fostered by a London audience. Mr. W. CHAPMAN'S performance in Sharp and Flat amused us highly. This young actor is gaining greatly upon our admiration. 1 MATMARIEZT,—On Monday, will he performed The Beggar: Opera, Captain Maeheath, MADAMS VASTRIS; Polly, MISS PATON, with Exchange no Robbery, Sir Christ.

GALWAY FISHERY. HIMINGS.—For the last month herrings have been in the greatest abundance in this Bay. hut by some old and nonsensical prejudice or regulation, that no herrings are to he sought for or taken until after the first Suruday in August none have been taken. One would suppose, that when Providence, in its bounty, is pleased to send so great a blessing as a plentiful supply of line fish at the most favourable season for taking them, th it man would receive the gift with thankfulness; butt, no!—there are those who say," though Goo has given, thou shalt not enjoy." This is a monstrous evil, and requires from ail those who have the power or the. influence to use their endeavours to remove it.—(Galway Advertiser.) SALMON.—The lads of the rod have a most abundant harvest. Our river swarms with the finest s +boon, and any bungler that can cast a line is sure to take a &h. Numbers of persons flock to the bridge to see the sport, where the stream is so clear that thousands of salmon ran be seen covering the entire bottom of the river. We understand that many Gentlemen are coming here to en joy the amusement of fishing, as it is now universally acknowledged, that, for good sport, this river is not to he equalled by any other in any part of the Kingdom.— (Aid.) PILCHARDII.—This fish for some years back deserted the coast of Cornwall, and appeared in vast shoals in this Bay; our fishermen at first considered they were herrings, and took a great many of them; but finding that they injured their nets, and that there were no buyers to make them up for exportation, or to extract the oil from them, they have abandoned the pursuit altogether; this, therefore, accounts for there not being any taken just now, when they ire in such abundance in this Bay; and it is matter of just regret, and seri ous consideration, that no advantage should be taken of this. CALuDONCAN CANAL.—The Twentieth Report of the Commissioners for the Caledonian Canal has been pub lished. The northern half of the canal has been open since 1818; and u 1300 voyages have been made in Loch Ness, withont any accident, the apprehension as to the difficult navigation of that loch has bees entirely well. The passage from sea to sea has been only opened since November last, and has been accom plished by steam hosts in 13 hours. The present depth, which is abut 12 feet, is to be increased to 20. by various oper 'lions. During last winter the ndigation was cl teed nearly one month, by the rigour of the weather, The vessels which have naviga'sd the canal have varied in size from 5 tons to 106, bin the ge burden is from 30 to 40 tons.

About seven o'clock in the evening, while the three former Gentle men were endeavouring to reach the sail-boat in a very small boat, they upset her, and unfortunately Mr. Tot bill was drowned. The body was grappled for and found as wo e as any assistance could be obtained, but the vital spark was extinct. The body was conveyed to the 1 Semiramis. Mr. Daunt and Mr. Lewis have suffered' from being in the water, were brought to a cottage on the shore; and, after receiving every assistance, were •able to proceed, on Sunday morning, to Howlbowline Island. The three Mr. Hitchcock* proceed immediately after the accident occured, to Howlnowline to state the sad result.—(Cork Paper.) During the boisterous night of Wednesday last, the two outer dolphins, erecting for the protection of the chain pier, were, by the violence of the waves, completely' washed away. In consequence of the heavy rains this week, a portion of the dwarf wall, at the entrance of the esplanade, has fallen.—(Brighfoa Herald.) A FATAL IlLow.—We regret to state that, on Thurs day night, a qnarrel took place between two privates of the Fusileers, who occupy talir barracks, when the one gave the other a blow, on the left side, which kill • •cl him on the spot.

Mr. Charles Moss, of No. 15, Doughty street, surgeon, said he had examined the body of the deceased child, and, in his opinion, it was about four days old, and lia4 been born alive. On examising the head, he found a wound on the back part, apparently inflicted with some sharp instrument, and the head in other respects is muelt bruised. These injuries, the witness was of opinion were the occasion of its death. Verdict—Wilful Murder against some person or per sons nnknown. . - An tngoirst was held at theCoaeb and Horses, Heston, near Hounslow, before the same Coroner, on the body of John blurt. Edward Hannam. of Hounslow, stated, that on Tues day last he was at the door of the above bouts ; the de ceased led up his horse with a load of dung to the door, when deceased and another man, named James Hurst, with whom he was in company, quarrelled about payi..g for a pot of beer. A gentleman from isleworth at tb;s time was passing, and deceased being I.:toricsted bmcan to abuse him, and insisted he should pay for the beer.— Hurst interposed, and pushed the gentleman front Ise worth aside, to prevent his being struck by Maret; tt.e deceased abused Hurst, anti said he would as soon fio ht him as the old gentleman, for taking his part. .Horst replied, he should be sorry to fight an .2tl •ffentletntin, when Maret rushed upon bim and struck him a blow or two. Both men stripped, and some blows were exchang ed ; at the time they were very tipsey. Alto it the 4:b round Hurst gave the deceased a smart blow under the ear, and he fell; after this another round passed, when, in the 6th, the deceased was going to meet his RN; go nist, he Jell with his forehead on the ground, and rt ceived a wound. Several other witnesses confirmed this statement ; add ing, that the deceased began the affray, and he appear.ti so pa-tial to fighting, that he said he would brat DJIIy Smith or Hurst, drunk or sober. Mr. Watkinson, a surgeon, said he had exsmined the deceased, and found no wound but on the forehe-td ; his death 'pitch' in all probability have been occasioned by a concussion of the brain, and a rupture of a blaod vess, of the heart. Verdict—Justifiable Homicide. An inquest was held last night at St. Bartholom• , w's Hospital, before T. SHCLTON, Esq. on the body of Chat. love Sharpe, aged about 14. John Salter, Iti, Cloak-lane, Cheapside, general post man, stated that on Tuesday afternoon, the deceased wits skipping along the pavement in Fish•street, in a playful mood, when she unfortunately slipped ()tithe curb stone, and fell before a waggon loaded with coals, the wheel of which went over her body ; she was immediately picked up, and conveyed to the hospital in a dreadful state.

Thompson, surgeon in the Hospital, stated that be examined the deceased when brought to the Hospits I on Tuesday afternoon, and found the pelvis fractured in four places ; she was also bruised in various parts ot her body. She expired on the Thursday following. Verdict —Accidental Death. I)eodand Is, on the wheel.
