It has been carried into effect, as we some time ago mentioned, by the disbandment of two troops and two companies throughout the whole of the Line and Fcot Guards, together with thatuf the 10th and 19th Light Dragoons. No battalion of Infantry has been reduced. The regiments abroad (in the same manner as those in India) keep up a Captain and two Subalterns, for the purpose of re cruiting., which has given rise to the mistaken report that they lose one company only. Though all infantry battalions are thus diminished from ten companies to eight, the number of privates in each of those eight, is increased by seven men, making sixty-nine privates instead of sixty-two. The non commissioned continue as heretofore, and the proportion of drummers is less. On the late establishment the total strength of a regiment of foot (every body included) was 746 ; at present it is 650. The reducible Officers, of course the juniors of each rank, are to receive full pay to the 20th of October; and all casualties occurring in their respective corps up to that day, are to tell in their favour. Should any officers, not the juniors, chute, during the same period, to make application for half pay, such optional retirement will be exempted from the usual consequence of annulling the future claims of their widows for the pension; or if they should prefer to sell their com missions, the Commander in Chief has been pleased to grant that permission, viz.:—to CaptainS,who have served sixteen years in the army, and to Subalterns, who have served twelve. The ob ject of this gracious indulgence on the part of his Royal High ness (which will, however, cease with the occasion), is to enable those to retire from the Army, to the best advantage, who, from wounds dr service, may conceive themselves disqualified for the . more active-duties of the profession. Farther to promote such view, the prices of commissions have lately been raised by a. Board of General Officers, assembled for that purpose, and who, by augmenting the value of each grade in succession, have raised the amount of a Lieutenant-Coloneley of Horse from £4980 to £6175, and of Foot from J:3500 to £4509 ; the former sums having 'been the value fixed on those commissions by a like Board, which sat in the reign of his late Majesty. With respect to those officers who have recently returned to the service, by paying the regulated difference, and who are new placed on halt-pay, their number is by no means great ; and his Royal Highness, who duly appreciates their attachment to their profession, and their zeal in following it up, is fully de tennined to hold them in consideration as the very first to be provided for according as opportunities offer. The 3741 i regiment, under the command of Lieut. Colonel Buser, arrived at Quebec, from Montreal, in May last, and was inspected by the Earl of Dalhousie, the Commander of the Forces, on the 14th of June, when an order was issued, expres sive of his Excellency's unqualified approbation of their sok:Lie:- like appearance, and high state of discipline. FUNERAL OF lioi%iTY AND GEORZE VRANC. Yesterday was fixed by Dr:WATSON and GALE JONES for the public funeral of the above indi viduals, and in pursuance of the request contained in the hand-bills, circulated and posted about town, crowds of persons were assembled at Smithfield by twelve o'clock. At that hour Dr. Watson, elevated upon the corner of one of the cattle-stalls, gave notice that the funeral would not come there, but would wait their arrival at Kingsgate-street, Holborn. Accordingly the assembled crowd posted away to this spot, and at about one o'clock the coffin was placed in the hearse, and the procession, consisting of the hearse with four horses, preceded by the sable plume of feathers and two horsemen, followed by four mourning coaches and two, began the business of the day, by directing its course along Holborn. There were a few idlers along this part of the town. The body of R. Honey had been conveyed in a hearse similarly attended, as we have above stated, from Rolles-street, Soho, to Oxford-street, where it remained upwards of an hour in attendance before the other part of the procession came up. The whole cavalcade, as it proceeded along Oxford-street, was preceded by a band, playing the 104th Psalm, in front of which were two flags, one with the motto, " Let Justice guide the Scale," and " The Providing Brothers," on the other. The crowd, of course, went before and behind, and on each side of the funeral procession, without paying much atten tion to the order of their march. The route pur sued was through Duke-street, Grosvenor-square, South Audley-street, into Park-lane, Hyde-park corner, Knightsbridge, Kensington, and Hammer smith. All the gates of the Park were closed and boarded up, and a troop of luirse patrol was in attendance in Foyard's Riding School in the Park.—ln passing the Barracks of the Life Guards at Knightsbridge, the mob thus early evinced that disposition to insult the soldiers which at a later period in the day occasioned the indiscriminate conflict which took place. Mr. Sheriff Waithman, attended by three of his offi cers on horseback, met them about Hyde Park corner, and it was principally from his interces sion that this spirit of insult, which aftenp,rds broke through all controul, was curbed for the moment. Having passed this point, where the attendant crowd had gained considerabk strength, the whole procession arrived at Ham mersmith in a tolerably peaceable manner, though greatly diminished as to numbers. Ham mersmith experienced no great influx of company in the forenoon. A few persons occasionally re paired to the church-yard to inspect the spot where the remains of the subjects of the two Inquests, which' have attracted so much atten tion, were to be deposited. The grave (but one was provided) was dug near the eastern end of the church, and was remarkably capacious, be ing from Wto 12 feet deep. Shortly after two o'clock, the town became very full, and from chat time, every minute saw the crowd increased by the arrival of vast numbers of pedestrians, nd persons who had procured the accommoda tion of seats in carts and caravans, which were loaded on this occasion, as they commonly are to the fairs which are held in the vicinity of the metropolis. The parties thus conveyed to Hammersmith did not differ materially in their appearance or deportment from the groupes commonly exhibited at such seasons. The win dows by the road side were occupied by numerous spectators, as were the trees in the church-yard, and the tower of the church. It was about four o'clock that what was considered the first part of the procession arrived. A large body-of men (apparently mechanics) advanced bare headed. Two flags were carried with them. A plume of feathers followed, and this was succeeded by the hearse which contained the coffin 'of Honey, and the four mourning coaches. A considerable in terval occurred before the hearse which bore the remains of Francis appeared. It was supposed by some that both the bodies were in the first hearse, and the windows were partially deserted when the second plume of feathers made its ap pearance, closely followed by the other hearse and mourning coaches. Those who immediately preced ed and accompanied the hearses advanced in silence and in a very orderly manner. Arrived at the church yard, from the immense crowd there assembled, the procession was considerably impeded. The body of Honey was first conveyed from the hearse on the shoulders of eight men to the centre aisle, and placed on tressels. With much difficulty a passage was cleared for the advance of the se cond coffin, which was at length accomplished, and the whole of the mourners were accommo dated with seats in pews on the right hand side of the aisle. Silence was then called for and ob tained, and the usual service was read, after which,the coffins were removed in the same order as before to the grave.ln theirway through the church yard, the mourners were very much incommoded by the pressure of the crowd-, and some alter-cation occurred between those who thus intruded on them, and other spectators who resented the inconve nience to which they were subjected. One or two pickpockets were taken into custody. It was not possible to bring the whole of the mourners close to the grave till the bodies had been covered, and the remainder of the service appropriated to the burial of the dead, had been performed. ‘V hen the Clergyman concluded, they passed on to the grave, and thence to the coaches which were waiting for them. They speedily reared, and the proprietors of the carts began to re-load, but much of the company they had brought down betook themselves to the public houses in the neighbourhood, which were crowded for several hours. The following is an account of the outrageous attack yesterday on the Military, by the ruffians who attended the funeral procession of the un fortunate men who were killed in the riots of Tuesday se'nnight, as given in The Morning Post of this day : " On this occasion .a general halt was made 'before the Life Guards' Barracks, Knights bridge, the gates of which were closed ; and as evening advanced the crowd thickened by the addition - of many vilui had beim - good cuitmuers to the ale-house. By about six, a dense crowd was assembled, at this spot, who did not seem at all disposed to move, but .by their groans and hisses, and taunting expresiiins, seemed resolved upon resorting to every possible means of exits ' peratifig the 'military. In this; ita will be seen by the sequel, they finally succeeded. Mean time, Mr. Sheriff Waithman, assisted by three peace officers, with staves in their hands, •was occupied by words and gesture, in endeavouring to maintain order. Two or three of the soldiers were engaged in smoking and drinking, seated at the window of a neighbouring ale-house, and about half a dozen in their stable dresses outside the door, who attracted the particular attention, and of course with it the execrations of the po pulace. These Mr. Waithrrian rode up to, and made it his particular request that they would retire to their quarters, which the men imme diately complied with. The unmanly return which was made, on the part of the mob, to this becoming conduct of the soldiers is worthy of re mark. "Whilst in the act of retiring, from a most delicate sense of propriety under the circum stances of the case, the soldiers were assailed with a volley of mud and stones, some of which entered the windows.of the first floor of the pub lic-house, and alternately saluted with a torrent of hisses and groans, mixed with the acclamations of triumph. Judicious as this step may appear on the part of Mr. Wald:in - lan and the soldiers, we cannot help thinking that it was the means of hastening, if not of causing the affray which shortly followed, being hailed by the mob as a triumphant defeat, thereby tending to strengthen the disposition to audacious insolence which had already shewn itself. Every soldier that showed himself at any of the barrack windows was violently insulted. The Civil Power, con sisting of some constables, and Mr. Waithman's three attendants, endeavoured to persuade the mob to imitate the example of those they were insulting, but they seemed too well pleased with their game to listen to any suggestion of that description. After they had thus continued loudly venting their insolence in the most out rageous manner, a stray soldier, unarmed, hap pened to make his appearance amongst them on his return to the barracks. Stimulated by what they considered their former victory in forcing a retreat, and rendered courageous by the com parative weakness of the enemy, the mob seized the favourable opportunity to shew their valour, and commenced a most brutal and cowardly at tack upon this single individual. An unequal contest was maintained for some minutes, the' soldier defending himself with determined courage • and address against a multitude of assailantS, armed with bludgeons, and employing the use of their fists.' This man was quickly joined by one or two of his comrades, who, regardless of the number of their foes, threw themselves over the barrack-wall, and flew to his assistance. In the space of five or six minutes the contest, became general. The soldiers being strictly confined to their quarters, were seen letting themselves down from the windows, scaling the walls, and rushing unarmed to the rescue of their companions. Al though personal strength and dauntless courage were thus brought to the engagement, they were , vain before the vast superiority of numbers. The Life Guardsmen were seen every where hemmed in by the assailants, in some cases performing pro digies single-handed, against a host ; but in others under the feet of their merciless adversaries. The alarm reached the interior of the barracks,where 'the reports of what was passing w ithout spread with the rapidityof lightning. Every man conceived it his duty to go to the relief of his sinking com panions ; a simultaneous rush was made to the gates, which, in spite of the guard, were soon forced upon, and a body of soldiers poured out upon the scene of action. Some had armed them selves witis swords,. others with carbines, and some only with sticks, whilst others again ap peared wholly unarmed. The scene was quickly changed ;. the attack of this reinforcement did not fail to make an impression on the mob, who were worsted on all sides. A space was pre sently cleared round the gates of the barracks for upwards of fifty yards. Many. of the unfor tunate soldiers who had been long engaged in the affray were dragged along the ground into the barracks, dreadfully lacerated about the head and covered with blood and dirt. The sol diers still continued to pour out, additionally in flamed at this sight of their helpless comrades.— The contest, however, did not continue much longer. The populace, driven to -a distance, and, not daring to accept the challenge of their adver saries to'meet them single-handed, commenced a shower of missiles, consisting of brickbats, stones, Sc. We saw several soldiers bleeding in the face from wounds thus receiv'cd. We did riot see a single blow struck by the swords; but few were armed with them, and as far as our observation went, they were generally used to make a clearance, and not in personal contest: The buttend of the carbine was used in . some cases of audacious - assaults, and we haVe been informed that two persons with slight sabre woun,li were taken to St. George's Hos pital. The soldiers having rescued their compa nions and driven the mob from the gates, were without much difficulty induced, by the exertions of their Officers, to return to their quarters. The dear's were closed upon as many as could be got within the scope of their swing, and those remain ing outside were then induced to return through the wicket. The whole scene, when the engage ment was at the hottest, presented as motley. a spectacle of a pole mole encounter as we ever witnessed. The spirited conduct of the troops engaged in the rescue of their comrades from the murderous assaults of ruffians, with the, same weapons as their opponents, was conspicuous throughout the. scene. Their intrepid 'gallantry in fearlessly rushing upon superior numbers, with no advantage but that of superior courage, will furnish the best answer tio. those cowardly ca lumniators who have laboured so hard to in spire an . idea that the courage. of those_ brave troops resides only under the cover of a steel corsiet. The mob too have- been undeceived in this respect, if they, ever • 'indulged in such a notion. When the soldiers had all retired, an immense crowd again collected in front of the Barracks ; consisting of persons of the loWest deicription, and of boys. They disturb ed the neighbourhood fora long time with shouts and execrations, and some of them forced a large placard over the gates, which they called to the soldiers to read. Several times it was reported that the Life Guards were coming forth, and this caused a most precipitate retrograde move ! ment to be made on th e i ns t an t„ Those who were unable to get forward with their accom plices who headed the retreat, were the first to he undeceived, and then fall their courage re ' turning, • they loudly and tauntingly called on those who fled " to return and stand their ground like men." Stones were frequently thrown over the wall at the windows of the barracks, and the Mob were thus employed ,when the band. which had attended the process ion,returned through Knights bridge; playing a lively tune, and accompanied by the two flags which had been exhibited in the early part of the day. This drew off some part of the cioti'd, but the most mischievous remained. At length Mr. Conant, the Magistrate, arrived, and finding the disposition to rioting increase,was compelled to read the Riot Act, entreating the assembled crowd quietly to disperse, to which not the slightest attention was paid ; in a few minutes it was found necessary to employ force, and the gates were again opened, when a strong party of the Police rushed out and a very sharp contest ensued between them and the popu lace, finally ending, however, in . their entire dispersion. At ten o'clock the streets towards the barracks were completely cleared. Some of the soldiers on duty were much hurt from the stones and brickbats which had been. thrown in showers over the .barrack wall, of which there was not less than a barrow full, some at least from three to four pounds in weight. An immense number of panes were broken. On making inquiry at St. George's Hospital to ascertain the precise numberof per sons that had been wounded on this sad occasion, we were informed that three persons had been brought into the house with wounds, but that only one individual, named Berry, remained, who, it was reported, had received a sabre wound ; but on asking him how he came by the blow, he con fessed it was not from a sabre but proceeded from a stone. The other persons, after their wounds had been dressed, which were very slight, returned to their homes. Mr. Waithman, who had taken his departure from the scene of action about six o'clock, returned upon hearing of the disturbance. Followed by his officers, he galloped on the foot-way under the barrack wall, in pursuit of the soldier who had been engaged with the popul ace , an d w h om it appeare d to be his desire to apprehend.. The man however was joined by some of his comrades, and after the people were cleared from the spot, Mr. Waithman's bridle was seized by one of the soldiers, with a view to turn the horse off the footpath ; this was resisted by the Sheriff, who struck the soldier over the head with his stick, and in return was nearly unhorsed. He returned more than once to the ground, and finally left it at half-past seven.---Several accidents occurred. A cart was overturned by a hackney-coach with several per sons in it. None was seriously hurt, but there is too much reason to fear that the disorders of the day were such as completely to answer the purpose of the projectors of this business." • Mr. D. JENNINGS started on Saturday for Pari?, with a set of Pie-balds, excelling in beauty any display in MAT MILTON Genealogy. The renowned Pegasus, which was selected out of five hundred thorough-bred horses, for his MAJESTY'S cabriolet, was sold the other day by HARMAN DYSON for a considerable sum. HORRID MURDER.—We have this week the painful task of announcing the occurrence of an atrocious mur der, which, as respects the manner in which it was perpetrated, has, we believe, scarcely any parallel. The circumstances of this horrid catastrophe are as follow s—Mr. William Troke (who resides at Dudmore Farm, in the parish of Christchurch), rode, on Tuesday morning, to an oat field, in his occupation, which a labourer, named Anthony Harris, had been mowing. On entering the field, he remon s t ra t e d w ith anis, who was theli taking his breakfast, for not having, done so much work as h expected. An altercation ensued, and Harris threatened, if his master did not go away, he would cut him down. This threat he almost immediately carried into execution, by grasping the scythe with which lie had been mowing, and aiming a blow, which Mr. T. parried with his stick. This he repeated by another,which took a transversedirection, severed the wind-pipe, and nut through the collar bone, inflicting a dreadful wound seven inches in. length.—The unfortunate victim died almost instantly, and the murderer was%apprehended on the spot, by a shepherd, who was apprised of the circumstance by a little boy, a son of the deceased, who was present when the fatal blow was given. An inquest was held by Mr. B a ld w i n , and a verdict of wilful murder returned against Harris, who is committed to the County Gaol on the Coroner's warrant, to take his trial at the next March Assizes.—(Hampshire Chronicle, Aug. 25.) 17/XEUTlON.—Yesterday morning, John Rennie and William Sutherland were executed on a platform erected at the head of Libberton's Wynd, pursuant to their sentence, for the crimes of housebreaking and theft. 'The unfortun ate young men were attended on the scalibld by Bailies Child and Mackenzie, and were assisted in their devotions by the Reverend Henry Grey and the Reverend Mr. Porteous. After u psalm had been sung, Sutherland prayiiil very ferventlyi and at the conclusion requested to be allowed to address the crowd assembled round the scaffold, which was granted. He then advanced to the railing, and entreated the multitude to take a warning from his and his oompanion's fate, which had been brought on by keeping bad company. He said, he freely for gave his enemies, but attributed his ruin to a civil ofhcer of great trust and respectability. Although the assortiox wam made in the near prospect of death, there is every reason to doubt its truth ; indeed we do not believe it, as we think it .111- possible that any man of honourable feeling would lend himself to the training of youth to practices which almost invarially lead to a premature end, and in place of stopping, are the means of increasing crime. During the time the executioner was ad justing the ropes, Sutherland appeared restless, and frequently looked round him with a wild stare. Rennie was perfectly passive, and seemed resigned to his fate. Aft er passing a few moments in prayer, Sutherland gave the signal, when they were launched into eternity. Sutherland, we understand, was native of this city, and Rennie, whose real name was Ren wick, came from Carlisle.—(Edinburgh Courant, Aug. 23 ) A serious accident, had nearly befallen the ce lebrated Charles Incledon last night. Acc:::n- panied by two friends, a double bass and a cele brated flute player, the Vocalist hired a hack ney coach opposite the Foundling Hospital ; they had not proceeded many yards before the axletree broke, and the vehicle and its contents were precipitated to the ground. The sudden. shock produce a musical response. The eccen tric Vocalist astonished the company who were just quitting the Foundling Chapel, and sur rounded the coach, by chaunting through the window, as the body of the vehicle remained in an inclined position," Hark the lark of Heaven's gate sings ;" he was, of course, immediately re cognized and relieved from his perilous s%tuation without injury to himself or friends.--(Morning Chronicle.)
