The steadiness and attention of the men, the precision and corre(tness in their evolutionary movements, were in both instances highly approved. Indeel, the state of discipline in tilis Corps is most praise-worthy, and, the improvement astonishing, considering the great disadvantages Volunteer Ca valry experience. Earl Percy, their Colonel, has been stoat indefatigable in his never-ceasing tier lions, to render them tit for service ; for, dining the whole time of their being embodied, his Lordship was nut regularly three times .-day, animating them by his example and precept, to a high sense of their duty. There was an extreme fine effeEt produced on the two days that the cavalry were re viewed, from the quick firings and rapid movements of the two pieces of horse-artillery attached to this corps. An officer, high in rank in the Royal Artil lery, complimented their Commander, Capt. Top pin, on the occasion, with the greaten commenda tion in their praise.

The Earl of Clonmel ob served, that it was a MCAQ comploment to say. that they were One of the best disciplined bodies of V.... lunteers in the kingdom, and by no means interior to many regiments of the line. The sam: day. the above Noblemen, wi.h several neighbouring Gentlemen, honoured the O ffi cers with their company to dinner, at Head-Quarters, the Warwick Arms, which consisted of the best viands and wines. with every other delicacy the season could supply. At the head of the room. between the colours of the regiment, was placed a large transparency of the Crown, and, at the font of the table was plat-d another transparency of hi, Lordship's arms. After the usual loyal waft, were given. bumpers were filled to his Lordship and Fa mily, the Earl of Dartmouth. the Earl of Ayles. ford, Mr. Legge. kc. between which, several con stitutional songs were sung. a number of popular airs were performed by the band, and so much har mony cad conviviality prevailed, that the honour able Guests, with the Officers, did not separate till a late hour. On Tuesday morning, six companies of the above battalion marched from Warwick to Stratford-upon- Avon, and four companies to Alcesier, to remain during , Warwick Races, and retina on Friday ; pi e vieus to which, the four companies at Alcester are to join those at Stratford early that morning, wh,re they will be reviewed by General Pigott, 'I he BA • talion will afterwards proceed to Warwick, aiol • hornenn Monday:. return On Saturday. all the Islon.eorandieitaied and grigares of the Battalion will be regaled at Warivisk Castle, from the Plennotte board of the lihaial aid hospitable Lived. - MMEMENW.I.......r His Excellent! the LOID LIIIVTIV ANT of Iac ;AND. has been pleased to appoint Hens v BROWN x.

Thd parapets of the boxes have all been cleaned, and IS a manner that renders the painting apparently as fresh as the first season the Theatre was opened. The taste displayed in the design And execution of the classical medallions, and the light and airy impati ence of the painting in general, cannot be aurpaseed. and it is, therefore, with pleasure we perceive. that the painting before the curtain is nearly :intend to its etiginal brilliancy. The iron pillars which support the hoses have been richly gilt —the seati, railing. and fi-ests of the boxes have been covered with new crimson elxh. and also the seats of the pd. 'lite whole of the The sue. before the curtain, has a very bemdful • • elle& While the Proprietors have been solicitoui. to emus der the audience-part of the house as eons il 440 and gratifying as possible to the public, they have also had improvements made behind the aorta* which will add to the lei.alth of the perfos.ners, and to the comforts of the frequenters of the l'neatre. A new de, p-scene. e,csosed in a frame, has bees finished, which extends fr.xn one side wall to the other of the Theatre, At that d•pth of cue whisla is wifficient for the eetfermaece of Comedies am" Farces. and Also such isieces 4i do ant dined mime speff.cle.

The scene is so ma/aged as to be cu sservient to any part of the drama exhibiting. and will, from its novcity, ingenuity, and the et. cellence of the painting, dem Ind the praise of the amateur, an I excite the admir..•i m of the public.

This is an admi -ble improvement ; as mtny idle people. who pri ten led to have business with the Treasury, obtained adiliittance, but who had n toing further in view, than to lounge behind the scenes. said interrupt the perfumers in the Green-room. The whole of the arrangements are calculated to resider great benefit to this popu'at concern. The scene-painters are hu,.ily empl yet in painting scenes for a succeisiou of new pieces, whicn have been accepted and approved by the Managers. The sage management will bounder the diredion of Nis. Wroughtoo, and the swum* season is en petted to be the must produaive that has occurred fur years. A dreadful storm of thunder, lightning, and rain. came on yesterday morning at six o'clock, and cois tinned until half past seven. A gentleman who has lately advertised in the public prints for a partner for life, states, as a nee /164 Min, that “ She must be possessed of 1,0001. otherwise she will not be regarded."
