It May be said that this node Of proceeding Mould be unfair to the regiment of the lower number, and that the bider for changing the numbers ist some other regiesents tnight displease them. But be it remembered that it is just as fair to reduce any sae regiment is the service as another, and 11th respect to the chaage of numberv, nO divplessore was ever expressed by those distinguished corps the old 96th, the 97th, end other regiments up to the tooth, when they were 611 required to change their numbers repectively on ihe occasion of taking the old 95th out of the sine, and constituting it into a rifle brigade. With respect to the Naval Service we sincerely hope %hat, at least in the effective pert, there will be no more reductions ; but in truth it is to the civil de partments of the State, rather than to either branch of the service that the public look for retrenchment. We have already shown what the Ministers have done, or rather have resolved to do by way of re deeming their promises to the country. Their plan contemplates no present saving, and even iii its prospective results looks only to the salaries of clerks—to " the candles-ends and cheese-pairings of office." None of the bloated sinecures are touched or threatened. No security is offered that pensions will not continue to be given where none but the givers see merit. We do not find that means are adopted to reduce the whole depart ment of the third Secretary of State, by trans ferring the Colonies to either of the other offices, or to reduce the Commissioners of the Ad miralty to a number not exceeding the necessities of the service. The " sleeping" Lords will still enjoy their repose, and thousands of pounds will still be squandered in this " nursery of statesmen." Commissioners of Revenue and Ezcise, and of every other imaginable branch of public service, will still swarm in the land, while the public are sought to be amused with the deductions of some paltry pounds from the hard-earned pittances of poor clerks! Will Parliament he satisfied with such • manifest evasion of the votes of the two Houses ? The Mini sters, we fear, count too securely upon the constitu tion of the " Great Council. of the Nation," to ap prehend any thing from their displeasure. But un doubtedly the public will not be contented with a pretended retrenchment, which is allowed to operate solely and exclusively upon clerks in office. Doubt less if the salaries of clerks be too large they ought to be reduced, but let not the clerks alone be as sailed, while the heads of the several departments are permitted to enjoy salaries of enormous magnitude, to which their duties bear no proper proportion. Those who from their private fortunes can with least embarrassment endure a diminution of their Official emoluments, ought, above all others, to be made the objects of economy, instead of stripping the poor clerks of their pittance, upon which, per haps the comforts, and even the existence of large families exclusively depend. Nothing surely can be snore unjust than to curtail the means of a poor man's livelihood, while the more useless but richer incumbent of office is suffered to enjoy the undi minished splendour of his official appointment.

THEATRES. —, • eovgwr•CIAIDIN. The play of The Stranger was performed here last night, in which Mr. YouNG sustained the cha racter from which the piece is named. This per formance is so well known, and its merits so fully appreciated by the public, that nothing in the way of commendation need be offered to it here. Such as its excellencies were in former years the same they still remain ; the only perceptible variation of its style consisting in the softening down, in a slight degree, of the petulance and asperity of his misanthropy, which gave it more of the semblance of a deep-rooted and corroding grief. Mr. MICA DOW., in Peter, made good his claim to the favour which his previous performances had obtained him. The part of Mrs. Huller was filled by Nlrs. Baena -Ims,, the lady who lately appeared as Belvidere, at the Haymarket theatre. The character being one of Much less passion and complicated emotion, could scarcely be looked upon as any additional test of her capabilities, except indeed as far as the ques tion might be raised of the strength of her' lungs, and the power of her voice being equal to the impressive and efficient delivery of passages of deep and power ful emotion in ■ theatre presenting so much larger a space to till. Considerable apprehension might very reasonably have been entertained that this would prove a task almost too laborious fur the delicacy of her frame, and last MOO; experi ment can hardly be said to have resulted in the en►ire removal of that apprehension. Her conception of the part was throughout correct, and her execution generally good. In the more pathetic scenes she chiefly excelled; and the an guish which accompanied the disclosure of her situation to the Countess was finely given. Mrs. traucrr played the Countess with appropriate ease and gracefulness of manlier. After the play followed the romance of Blae Beard, which has been revived in order to gratify the admirers of pageantry. The haste with which it has been got up gave the performance the air of a dress rehearsal, and some disapprobation was occasionally expressed at the incorrect management of the scenery—a cause of complaint, it must be observed, by no means of frequent occurrence ■t this theatre. The general disposition of the audience, however, which was an uncommonly full one, was indulgent, and the plaudits predominated. UAYMARIET. The character of thin entertaining theatre was fully suatsined last night by a selection of pieces yet attractive from their sterling merit. and sanc tioned by public approbation. In the Heir at Lair, ZekielHoniespun was very effectively sustained by Mr. itusscra, ; and his sister, Cecil', It.. seldom found a prettier or more interesting representative than Mrs. BAILER. Mr. WILLIAMS, as Lord Dnberly, excited continual bursts of laughter ; Mr. TERRI'S Doctor Panglos was supported in r style of genuine hu mour. The comic entertainment of Matelmnaking followed, with A Roland fir en Oliver. In the latter we cannot omit noticing the pleasing vivacity which Mr. DECAMP displayed in the character of the Hon. Alfred Highflyer. The entertainments of the night were received with warm applause. The Duchess of DEVONSBIRS, after having had the honour of being sue of the very select party invited by the King of the NZTHERLANDs to the dinner given by his MAJESTY to the King of ENG LAND, prepared to set out from Brustels on her return to England.

[lite follow's( article is copied from an Evening Paper of yesterday, is which it is given as a letter addressed to the Editor, through the Pust Office, Chelmsford ] CMILMEFORD. OCTOBER 4. I arrived last evening, about five o'clock. in the town of Chelmsford, and strolling round the church yard. I was attracted within the walls of the church by the appearance of ■ corpse, followed by an im mense number of mourners of both sexes, who were paying the last tribute of respect to a deceased friend. While the funeral service war reading over the body, a noise was heard to proceed from the coffin, which, for a moment, arrested the attention of the clergyman and his auditors; but as the noise appeared to cease, the service was concluded, each individual being persuaded it must have proceeded from quite a different source than the coffin. Just, however, as the coffin was being let down into the tomb, the same sound as before issued from it, accompanied with a noise very similar to the whelping of a puppy. when, in an instant, the en. closed person, by a sodden and violent effort, thrust off the lid of the coffin, and sat upright, with her arms hanging on each side, staring, with eye■ wide open and rolling in their sockets, at the affrighted multitude assembled round. and actually appeared herself considerably " more frightened than hurt." She was immediately released from her unpleasant situation, and borne back to her habitation on the very same bier which supported her to the ground. understand from the surgeon who has intend ed her, and whom I have seen this morning. that she has had a very good night, and is likely filially to recover. She is a widow. and had aim " slum bered in the arms of death" would have left ten children wholly unprovided for.

Ever mist, the last examisiatior, which was three weeks since, every effort has s heet' made to discover every thing re lative to the carder, sod some iinpOrtalll loaners have.bora traced which ultimately may bring the real perpetrator* 1. justice. The following appeared in evidence yesterday, before Dr. Owen. in the Justice room : Elitsbeth Hopkins, who resides at Highgate with her husband, who is a labourer, in earsoemairrire of hearing that Barrett was suspected of the minder, came forward, sad slated as follows:—She remembered the asurniug that Sellers, Mr. Hale's watchman, was murdered; at about lialtpast six o'clock the sonic morning she was going with her husband's breakfast to a field where he was mowing for a Mr. Thmnpron, tga ilornsey-lane; on proeseding along she saw the Primmer Bdrraitt turn down the lase, and lie stopped to consider shirk way be would tura ; be crossed a Geld called Ashbott's Field, exactly at the bark of Mr. Hale's honer, sad near rogue hay-stacks there was a black man sinus, is a hollow ; Ba ran, who appeared as it he had left the black man, crossed the field and climbed over • stile at vie further end, mail proceeded in a confused three. lion to the point where she had first seen kiln ; the black man went away. The witness was closely questioned by Dr. Owes as to her knowledge of Barratt's person. She answered that she could not be mistakes as to his person ; she had kaolin him previuosly to that morning, and knew that it was Barran ; she saw Mtn in the Add near the hay slack, at the back of Mr. Hale's house. Dr. Owen re...eked that it was node, suspicious eiresm stances that a shirt with marks of blood upon the sleeve, had Men found ander the hay-stacks mention' d, and it was in • filthy condition.. It was fooud by • man named Field, who hail it in his possession. A man named Murphy had been apprehended on suspicion of its being hi., consequence of hii having pot anew shirt on, said in order that he should give au account of the old shirt he had left off. It was, however, involved in a mystery. and for the wast of evi deuce be was discharged. A bloody stocking was also pro duced here, and Mapccied, which had been fouud at Bar ratt's lodgings. The Primmer, Barran, denied 'nosey that the witness Hopkins saw him cross the field and climb over the stile. He went in the vioroing to tell the deceased's sou that his father was died. Dr. Owen asked the witness whether she considered the way which the primmer Barran woe going the nearest to Crunch End, where Barran said he was going to, or would she have gone that way to Crouch Egad ? Witness said that it was sot the way to Crouch Ead; she would net have gone that way had she been gulag there; she saw him get over some fences. Barran was again asked whether be wished to say any thing ? He answered, all that hr had to say was, that he was going to the deceased's sow at Crolich End, but he ismer went oat of the road all the way, as Gad was his jodge.— Dempsey's son met him the same smarming on the rood, sod he denied that she saw him. Mrs. Barran eiselalused, " false ! God forgive you, you are speskiag false!" Dr. Owen could not perceive say motive tint the wanes might have in saying she saw the Poisoner (who had not ac counted for where he was on the night of t►e murders. Mut swore positively that it was Barrett she sow. Mrs. Hopkins said he was dressed in' • abort shooting jacket, and the same dress as he sow had on. Hermit said he had a nephew residing at Tottenham, sad they had • pint of porter together at the Swats public-Moose the same night. Mrs. Hopkins said that she afterwards saw Barrett, and she pointed him out to a man as the person she saw model suspicious circumstances on the morning of the murder; that man had removed from Highgate, but be could be fou nil. A buy was again examined, and swore that he raw a block man on the morning of the minder, in a bulkier mar the WIC in which Ba►rett passed.

The Prisoners were next examiseil on the charge of rob• bery st Mr. Rotchschild's, and the household were in attend. ante. Miss Mary Percival being sworn, said that she holds Ilse situation of governess in Mr. Rotchschild's family, and had been in that capacity for the last twelve mouths. The ladies' linen was not under her notice, and could mot identify them if they were produced. A child'. gold coral now produced resembled one which had been stolen from the nursery, but she could not say positively whether it was the same • she believed it not to he A small box which was produced she believed to be Miss Rothschild'e, but could net say positive ly. The witness seemed to hesitate in giving • direct an swer. Dr. Owen was very sorry to say, that the witnesses seemed to come there under mime restriction, and &mettles the ditty they owed to their oath, a Supreme Being, themselves, and the Witness bad missed several articles and some books.—• [Two hooks, entitled " Classic Tales," were produced.j— She could not remember what books they were. Dr. Owen said, she seemed to have received some km strections. Miss Percival burst into tears, and said that not being ac customised to attend such places, she thought theta very se vere upon her; she had Ken plates like those 'produced at Mr. Rothschild's, and were she to see them any where else she should say they were his property. Miss Percival was bound over to prosecute at the Old Sarah Jordan, the ladies' maid, ideatifsed two books u Mr. Rothschild's property. The names of the witnesses were called over, and they were each bound over to give evidence at the Old Bailey in the sum of 410 L each. _ . The Prieosters were folly committed fur trial on the charge of robbery, and remanded on suspicion of the murder until further inquiries are made into the affair. Mr. Henson, Jun. on the part of Barrett, requested that be might have some of hip i meoperty, his watch and clothes, &r. Mr. Harmer had no objectimkpeovided the watch was his own prom sty. An officer said that be had bees at the place where be bad purchased it, and he was satisfied. Barrett requested to have his desk and papers, with the key of his house, and there was au inventory of some things which he wished to have. tie was refused the inventory, but it was embattled to let him have the other articles. He requested to have some silver spoons which were marked with his initials. Dr. Owen, who suspected on a former occasion that they had been stolen from Mr. &intuit, Barreles late master, in consequence of the initial correspoesdieg. was satisfied they were not his, and gave them hack to the kisoner. The reason Barrett gave fur his Ravi superior fureitere was, that a Captain Davidson bad 'pertaining in his house, and being etehervassed, and out enabled to pay him his rent, be restraml Wpm& to him (Barrett), and left the lodging.
