It appearing from the reports Made to the General Commanding in Chief, that the practice of Light In fantry rnoireMents has been much neglected in some regi ments of the line, the Adjutant-General has received his Lordship's orders to direct the notice of the inspecting General Officers to this subject, and to desire that they will call the attention of the officers in command of regi ments and reserve companies to the importance which is attached to the instruction of every regiment of in fantry in the service, in the movements and duties of light infantry. His Majesty's regulations have at all times prescribed it; and commanding officers of regiments are much mis. taken if they conceive that the practice, so prescribed, is to be' confined to light regiments, or to the light compa nies of other corps. The object in view is, that the whole of every regiment should be made as perfect as possible in the evOlutions and movements of light infantry, and should be qualified to move as such, if required, and to take the out-post duty in any situation of service. - The officers have ample time to make themselves ac quainted with every detail of this service, independently of the information they must possess of line movements ; and it is unnecessary to dwell upon the essential advantage which they will derive frum a competent knowledge of duties which they may, in the absence of light troops, be called upon to perform in the field. Lord Hill therefore directs, that the exercise of the whole corps in extended order, as light infantry, may, in future, form one of the objects of the half-yearly inspection and report to be made of every regiment.

SIR,—In your Paper of Monday you abridged a report of the dinner to the Members for Newark, from the Not tingham Mercury, and offered some comments of your own upon the speech of Mr. Sadler, particularly that part which says " prosperity would hourly accumulate till it ar rived on the verge of time, and touched the threshold of eternity." A correspondent, signing himself" A Newarker," in the Standard of Thursday, after some severe remarks, denies that such expressions were used, but that Mr. Sadler said " Then should our national prosperity stretch out even to the crack of doom, and the march of British greatness and glory extend to the utmost verge of time, and terminate only on the threshold of eternity." As the Editor of the Paper from which your report is copied, I feel it a duty plainly to state that the latter was not uttered by Mr. Sadler, though I freely confess that my own terms were not exactly those used by the speaker. The report in the Mercury was substantially correct ; but I will leave you to judge whether it was possible to give the whole verba tim, when I state that I left Newark at half-past eight on the evening of the dinner, arrived in Nottingham at eleven, (and found that part of my report sent by coach had not been delivered), had then nearly the whole proceedings to transcribe, and to get the Paper to press by two o'clock ? The precise words used by Mr. Sadler were these :—" The march of prosperity would never cease till it arrived on the verge of time, and touched even the threshold of eternity." And if Mr. Sadler is the honourable man he wishes to be considered, he will not for one moment hesitate to acknow ledge the fact. The version of " A Newarker" certainly appeared in the reports of the dinner given in pamphlets, &c., but those reports were corrected and amended by Air. Sadler himself, not only in that part, but in several others. Your's truly, EDITOR OF NOTTINGHAM MERCURY. INTERVIEW BETWEEN ALEXANDER AND NAPOLEON.-The battle of Friedland in the spring of 1807, terminated the Prussian campaign. The interview which took place at that period between ALEXANDER and NAPOLEON, was held upon a raft in the middle of the Niemen, and in the presence of the Russian and French armies, which were drawn up on opposite sides of the river. The moment NAPOLEON saw ALEXANDER, he exclaimed "He is an Apollo !" It was on this occasion that ALEXANDER for the first time gave NAPOLEON the titles of Emperor and Majesty, having previously consi dered him as chief of the French nation. The raft be longed to NAPOLEON. After the usual compliments had passed, and the Grand Duke CowsTANTINE and MURAT, then Duke of Berg, had been introduced, NAPOLEON was naturally anxious of showing particular respect to ALEXANDER, and doing the honours of the place destined for the conference. ALEXANDER said that he was on board his ship, and NAPOLEON called the raft his boat.— In order to put an end to ceremony on both sides, ALEX ANDER observed, "Let us both go into the little room to gether," and, as the door was very narrow, the two Em perors were obliged to press close upon each other, in order to enter the room where the conference was to be held. On his return to the raft, NAPOLEON, to pay a com pliment to ALEXANDER, made the entire French army shout " hurra," and in return ALEXANDER gave directions to his troops to cry out " Yive l'Empereur." On the fol lowing day the two Emperors visited each other, and ALEXANDER even dined several times with NAPOLEON: but the letter could never be prevailed on to return this mark of confidence, and said, in excuse to ALEXANDER, " I am not so good as you, Sir ; and I am afraid of the persons who are about your person." On one occasion only he asked for some tea, observing to ALEXANDER, " You are near China, and ought to have excellent tea ;" but, when it was brought in, NAPOLEON put the cup to his lips, and pretended to taste the tea, but without tak ing the least quantity, put it down on the table. When ALEXANDER dined in the French camp, with some of his suite, the butlers carried the gold dishes through two lines of French grenadiers, who prevented any per sons from approaching, for fear poison might be thrown into the meat.

AN AMERICAN FLAT-FISH.—An Ameri can, writing home to a friend, told him that the most wonderful thing he had hitherto observed in England was the perfect coolness and impudence with which he had heard a man offer for sale a place in Holland. He had heard a man with a basket of fish cry, " Buy my fine Dutch plaice !" In America, it appears, they are only called by the general name of flat-fish.

The most com mon colours among the London tradesmen are BROWN, of which name there are 254 firms; GREERs which, with its accompaniments of GREENWOODS, GREENIIILLS, cREEN FIELDS, &c., can show 173 ; and WHITE, with WHITE: YIELDS, WHITEHEADS, &c., who top the GREENS, their number being 152.

It is entitled "My Landlady and her Lodgers," and, so far as we can at present perceive—for the portion here pub lished consists only of the four first chapters—is hardly worthy the acknowledged and versatile talents of its author. It seems likely to want variety, as well of incident as character. " First and Last,—First and Last Love," by the late Editor of the Courier, and the author of that wild romance the " Five Nights of St. Alban's," is a prettyish tale, prettily enough conceived, and executed. It is the very thing to please the ladies, and this is no slight recommendation. " Review of the last Session of Parliament" is a temperate, but decidedly and hopelessly ultra- Tory comment on the late immortal session. It is well written, so far as style goes; but in prin ciple is detestable and grossly inconsistent. Had we space, we might point out a dozen flagrant instances within the compass of nearly as many pages. " Canting Poetry" is a contemptuous at tack on the " opening of the Sixth Seal," " Universal Prayer" and so forth. We annex a specimen of its manner, merely observing, that with much justice on his side, especially when he talks of Mr. Montgomery's affectation in having allowed his portrait to be stuck up like a black be-whiskered cherub at the front of his book, in order that people may admire the inspired style of its beauty ; the Reviewer, yet pushes that justice at tunes to a degree of very illiberal severity. The allusion to Mr. Montgomery's attack on Byron, in particular, is founded on incorrect pre mises, Mr. Montgomery having very properly disclaimed any such idea. Neither has he at tacked Napoleon, but merely conceived and set up, and very justly too, for reprobation, the cha racter of a blood thirsty conqueror :- 1 " Did you ever, in the whole course of your experience, hear such a periwig-pated fellow' tearing a subject to tatters ?—and yet this is one of the least objectionable passages; for it seems to me to be neither personal nor impious, but merely to be fustian and childish. Criticism, as my friend Samuel Johnson says, disdains to follow a schoolboy to his common-places. So I shall pass over his account of the sun and moon expiring—darkness flinging a pall upon the world, so that not a ray was on the earth, the straining eye of man to gladden with its gentle ness!' and also the innumerable quantity of compound words with which he has thought proper to enlarge the English language. Who in the world ever heard of such phrases as heav'n-vault, turf-sod, heav'n-paths, heav'n flash, heav'n.shout ' and others still more contemptible and ridiculous? In this noble phraseology, be is either followed or preceded by his brother ranter, Montgomery; and, indeed, there is a great similarity in the design be tween these two illustrious authors. Both, for instance, with a modesty highly to be commended in such tremen dous bards, have given a short-hand account of the trial of all mankind at the judgment-seat. Buonaparte flourishes in great style—in the one he is the hero of a most melting story, in which he first figures as a demi god, and says to listening armies, go ye forth and bring me such a crown'—and then as a victim, Him carried they, the jealous race of man, him in his helpnessness when all alone'—and put him on the top of St. Helena, which is described as bearing a very striking resemblance to the mast of a ship. But the other carries it with a still loftier hand, and he, a young man with his milk-and water-looking head stuck in the frontispiece of his book, looking as contented as primness and affectation will al low, the author of the Omnipresence of the Deity, a pre sumptuous poem in rhyme, and of the Universal Prayer, another presumptuous poem in blank verse, talks in weak and bombastic lines as familiarly of Napoleon Buonaparte, as maids of fifteen do of puppy-dogs,' and sets him down at once as ' one among the legions of the damned.'— Byron is served no better, for his soul, too, by a new, and in the English language unheard-of mode of con veyance, wing'd to the dwelling of the damn'd.' Mr. Montgomery may say that Byron and Buonaparte are net meant in this libellous and most unchristian poem ; but I must inform him, that merely concealing the name is no defence against a charge of personality. If I were to describe a young man vainly puffed up with an idea of his own poetical powers—a person who, by an inflated style, , endeavours to hide a poverty of ideas—whose only images are drawn, with the most sickening monotony, from the sea, the wind, and the sun—whose attempts at the su blime, like vaulting ambition, overleap themselves, and fall o' the other side—whose affectation of piety, luckily for him is too absurd to be any thing but ridiculous— and, finally, whose works cannot be ushered into the world without a portrait of the author, to show what a prim and prejink-looking fellow has written a book ; if I were to write all this, surely, although I never mentioned his name, and even disclaimed all personality in the preface, ' nobody would believe that I meant any one but Mr. Robert Montgomery ?" MONTHLY MAGAZINE. " Ireland, the Orangemen, and Papists," is an intemperate but vigorous diatribe, as far as we can perceive, levelled against all parties indiscri minately. The writer lays about him with his whip at random, like Sancho, when he flogged the trees in the Brown Mountain, as substitutes for himself. " Turkey, Constantinople, Egypt, Nubia, and Palestine," is an excellent account of the late interesting volumes that have appeared on that subject. " The Fairies' Song" is pretty and fanciful, as such songs should be. The reign of Fairies, however, is now almost at an end ; even in Bishop Corbett's time, the poor creatures were at the last gasp, and now they are all but annihilated in the feelings of our rustic community. Steam-boats have swallowed up all minor marvels. " Walks in Ireland, the City of the Seven Churches," is a bold, rapid, and vigo rous paper, very much in the dashing style of Blackwood, in his early days. " Course and Probable Termination of the Niger" is a clever, well-informed dissertation on that much disputed point. " Notes on the Month" are, as usual, lively, satirical, and miscellaneous. The fol lowing is an extract : " Earthquakes have been lately practising upon the sen sibilities of the people of Jamaica. One of the newspapers imputes them to Lord Belmore's having a fit of the gout, which disabled his Lordship from attending to them with due vigilance. Government is, undoubtedly, responsible in all cases of the hazard of life or limb, and we must ex pect that the Home Secretary will not suffer the negli gence of the Colonial Secretary, in appointing a gouty Governor to an earthquake island to be his example. Unluckily the thing has been too often done to allow of an impeachment, and the subsequent decapitation ; other wise we should call public attention to the fact that Ire land, as shattered and crazy a spot as any crust of a vol cano in the Atlantic, has had a succession of remarkably gouty Governors within the last dozen years. His Grace of Northumberland has a twinge every month that would shut up his soul and body in flannel, though Ireland were in one convulsion, from Carrickfergus to Cape Clear, as that learned and moderate person, Dr. Doyle, says. We have a good deal of gout at home, and in high places too. Yet we have no treasonable feelings, when we aver that we cordially wish gout to be abolished, as an appurtenance of office, both at home and abroad. In our travels we learned to abhor the very name. Wherever anything was to be required of a British Ambassador, which the Am bassador was too lazy, or too insolent, or too fiddling, or toe flirting to do, he had instantly a severe fit of the gout. The Envoys followed the model. There were days when it was impossible to have so much as a passport signed by one of those foot-bound functionaries; the clerks and por ters were actually beginning to diFcover the convenience of the tlise , ise, and nothing 1,:t4 than a handsome douceur effott their recovery." NEW MONTHLY AND LONDON MAGAZINE. This is a very excellent number, and the literary and critical matter of which it is made up, is of a bea' and more intellectual order than usual. " Schoolboy Recollections of. the Jesuits," gives some amusing details respecting an Order of Ecclesiastics once of paramount importance in Europe, and still influential in many 'countries of the Continent, though that influence is of a more covert character than of yore. We know not who is the author of these amusing and peculiar reminiscences, but judging from a felicitous sarcasm thrown here and there, as well as from the occasional florid and copious flow of diction, we should feel inclined to ascribe it to IVIr. Sheil. " Sporting Sceres in India," is light and entertaining, and will be read with much interest by that numerous class of his Majesty's subjects to whom our East India pos sessions are the very centre of all moral and intellectual civilization. " Liberality" is a smart, peppery analysis of that spurious sort of feeling which the world, in its indiscriminating charity, is pleased to designate as such. " Lord King's Life and Correspondence of Locke," is a sensible digest of the biographical portions of that delightful volume, which we are anxiously waiting to see reprinted in the commodious aiid acceptable form of an octavo. The world can not be too well acquainted with the works of one who, in his private, no less than his public cha racter, came as near to what a real philosopher should be, but seldom or never has been, as it is possible for our imperfect nature to conceive. " Travellers' Tales" is a grotesque collection of many of the rhodomontade anecdotes that have been put forth from time to time by this much calumniated class of writers. It is ingeniously and amusingly put together. " Sketches from the Portfolio of a Sexagenarian" details some pleasant anecdotes of Sir W. Scott and Lord Byron, when residing, a short time subsequent to the battle of Waterloo, at Brussels. The following account of his Lordship's mother will be found worth reading " I was intimately acquainted with Lord Byron's mother from her childhood. She lost both her parents before she was ten years old, and lived occasionally with the family of General Abercromby, of Glassaugh, to whom she was nearly related. I passed some weeks in her company there, when she came from school, a romping, comely, good-humoured girl of sixteen, inclined to corpulency. She was fowl of running races, and swinging between two trees on the lawn ; but from this last exercise she was at last interdicted, for one of the ropes gave way, and she had so severe a fall that she fainted, and I carried her in my arms into the house, but no injury occurred except that she was obliged to submit to the lancet, and a temporary confinement. " One of her nearest relations, Mrs. D—, the wife of the Admiral, was about this time residing at Bath ; and this lady undertook the charge of the young heiress, and of introducing her into the world. She had been too long in Scotland, fur she had acquired a confirmed Scotch ac cent. Now it was to be feared that some northern ad venturer might entice her into a clandestine marriage, for she had no mother or good aunt to look after her. How Bath was chosen as an eligible residence for a young and giddy heiress, seems rather surprising; but thither she went, and was introduced. It was soon known that she had an estate worth sixty thousand pounds, and she con sequently attracted many admirers : among others, Capt. Byron, a guardsman (or lately one), paid his court to the northern constellation. A young man of address and in sinuating manners, he got into the lady's good graces, and persuaded her to take a trip to Gretna Green with him.— This clandestine step placed her entirely at his mercy in respect to settlements, and entailed on her, in a few years, the misery of dependence. " It was with some difficulty that the noble Captain was prevailed on to settle two hundred a-year out of her two thousand. Crippled with debts, which he had pre viously contracted, his extravagance continued, and, after cutting down the timber, he disposed of the estate to the Earl of Aberdeen, much under its value, and within three years he had squandered every shilling. Fortunately death put a stop to his career, and the poor widow (just out of her teens) had no other provision left for herself and son, but the pitiful pittance which had, by the kind intercession of a friend, been saved to her. _ _ " She retired to obscurity, but in the midst of her friends, to Banff, to educate her child. It is a singular circumstance that, at the birth of this boy, there were five males between him and the title, yet, before he had reached his seventh year, he succeeded to it. On this subject his nurse was prophetic ; for on his mother's asking this woman, who had been thirty years in the family, if he was a fine child ? ' Ay, Madam,' said she, he's a bonny bairn, and he has got a clubbed foot, and he'll surely be Lord Byron, for a' the Lord Byrons ha' a clubbed foot.' This I have heard Mrs. Byron tell when her son was an infant ; and it was certainly true that two of the family had been born with this defect. " She removed to Aberdeen, when he was five years old, for the advantage of better masters than Banff afford ed, where she continued until his succession to the title and estates of his relation enabled her, with the Lord Chancellor's permission, to carry her ward to England. " He was sent to Harrow ; and that she might be near the idol of her affections, she took a small house in London." SHARPE'S LONDON MAGAZINE. The beautiful engraving of " Evening," inthe present number of this very handsome and fashion able looking periodical, is alone worth the sum paid for the whole number, which, however, in ad dition, contains much amusing readable matter, both in prose and verse. THE UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL. Our circumscribed limits compel us to say no more of this Journal, than that it will be found in every respect, to come up to the public ex- pectation. EDWARDS'S BOTANICAL REGISTER, Continued by Join.; LINDLEY, Esq. Professor of Botany to the University of London.—No. 6 of the Second Volume, New Series. We arc made acquainted, as usual, with se veral very pretty and ornamental plants by this month's number, and these, for the most part, capable of bearing the climate of this country.— The number also contains a fine figure of the Avocado Pear, contributed from the princely garden of the Duke of Northumberland, at Sion—an establishment which, whether we view it with regard to the botanical or horticultural in terest that attaches to it, promises to be soon the most important, as it is already the most magni ficent, in Europe. Of the fruit of the Avocado tree most sorts of creatures are observed to feed with pleasure ; and it seems equally agreeable to the horse, the cow, the dog, and the cat, as well as to all sortsiof birds ; and, when plentiful, makes a great part of the delicacies of the negroes of West Indies. BEDFORD, JULY 31. The barley in this neighbourhood, though much improved by the rains from what it was in the ear lier part of this season, is considered but a light crop. The wheat has been here also somewhat in jured in the blossom, and will be below-an average crop as to quantity. The beans are not in a pros perous state---the fly has done them great damage in many places—they are, generally, but half crop, and in some instances worse. The peas never were better—above an average crop. The oats a fair crop, but short in the straw, in the higher grounds they have not recovered from the stinting effects of the dry weather in the early part of the season. The turnips look well in the plant, and give every pro mise of au excellent crop. The worst oats here sell for 12s. the quarter, and the prime quality brings as high a price as 30s. There is some dif ference in the labourers' wages here. Some are obliged to live or starve on Bs. a week, and others do not get more than Bd. a day. The harvest wages are about Is. Bd. a day. Those able-bodied la bourers who apply to the overseers are obliged to wheel sand from one place to another, merely to keep them out of idleness. The prices of the fol lowing articles will be found to be correct :—Beef, per lb. 7d.; mutton, 6id.; lamb, Bd.; veal, 7id.; pork, bid. to 7d.; butter, I Id.; fowls per couple, 2s. 6d. to 3s. 6d.; prime chickens, ditto, 2s. 6d. to 45.; (limits, ditto, 3s. to 4s. There are no geese in the market; they send them to Cambridge, where the learned heads of the University know better how to appreciate their value than the " unlearned" of this town. Turkeys are only reared for private s e e o r i a l s b u l e m earn 6d. a day. d p e ti p o r n e . ssio T n h . e T la h ce o - s t e ra e d m e p i l s o3 i re n d ainstiattceaonfomnliy -- SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

On Thursday morning, at nine o'clock, the Falcon, Commodore Lord Yarborough, weighed with about fifty yachts of the Royal Yacht Club, and proceeded up South ampton river to attend the Regatta, where the noble Com modore was received with a salute of fifteen guns, which his Lordship returned, and was visited by the Regatta Committee. At about half-past ten o'clock the following yachts started to sail round the Brambles for the Ladies' Cup, viz.:—Vice-Commodore the Earl of Belfast's Louisa, Joseph Weld, Esq.'s Lulworth, and Thomas Assketon Smith, Esq.'s Menai. The Cup was won by Louisa, beating Lulworth three minutes and thirty se conds, and Menai seven minutes, and was presented to the Vice-Commodore by Mrs. Captain George M. Nigh, R.N. Soon after the yachts for the Ladies' Cup had started, the Match for the Members' Cup took place be tween the Blue Eyed Maid, J. Lyon, Esq., Oberon, George Gunston, Esq., Yda, John Korff, Esq., and Neuha, James Saunderson, Esq., sailing round a vessel off Sydney Lodge, which was won by the Blue Eyed Maid, and presented to James Lyon, Esq. by Miss Scott, daughter of the Vice-Admiral. The Oberon came in se cond, the Yda third, and the Neuha last. A third matsh took place between the Itchen Hoys, for money prizes. A fourth match, between skiffs and wherries be longing to the port, for money prizes. A fifth match, by row-boats, for money prizes; and a sixth match, between the wives, daughters, and sisters of fishermen, also fur money prizes. We are authorised to state, that the account which has appeared in the papers, stating that a cause had been tried before Chief Justice BEST, in which a pauper was plaintiff, and the East India Company defendants, a verdict of 70,0001., and 2,000/. a year was given for the plaintiff, is totally unfounded, so far as relates to the East India Company.—Morning Advertiser. The East India Company's ship Bridgewater was all well on the 19th April, in lat. 5. 00 South ; long. 85. 00 East. INOCULATION OF HYDROPHOBIA.-SOIIIC experiments have recently been made at the Veterinary College, at Alfort, upon this subject. A horse, two dogs, and three sheep, were inoculated with tile saliva of a sheep affected with hydrophobia, at various stages of the disease, but no symptom of the malady was produced on the ani mals thus experimented upon. Four months had elapsed after their inoculation when this report was made..—Jfeci. Journal. The cinnamon department of the island of Ceylon consists of from 25,000 to 26,000 people, who form a separate caste of their own, and who are altogether employed in the cultivation of the cinnamon-tree (laurus cinnamomum), and in preparing the bark of that tree for the market. The exportation of this article from Ceylon frequently amounts to 6000 bales, of 801 b. each bale.— Although the cinnamon grows wild in the south and south west parts of the island, the Dutch and English Govern ments have thought it advantageous to have it cultivated in four or five large gardens ; one of the largest of which, called the Marandan, is close to Colombo. From the bark of the cinnamon tree the cinnamon which is used for culinary purposes is prepared, and also a very fine oil, like the oil of cloves, is prepared from the leaves, and the finest description of camphor from the roots,— Gardener's Magazine.
