NEW marrAßy CAX. Y ESTIRDAY His Royal Highness the DUKE of YORK inspeEted a new Military Car, which has been built for the purpose of conveying Troops.ex peditiously to the Coasts, in the event of the Enemy effeding a landing. The structure of the machine is on a principle something similar to the double , bodied coaches. The body is open, and contains four seats, ranged lengthways. The two back ones elevated, so that when the men are seated, they face two rows one way, and two rows the other. The springs which support the body, instead of going across, go longitudinally. At three o'clock 56 men of Grenadiers and Light Infantry mounted, s juq opposite the Horse Guards, when the horses (six in number)• immediately started, and twice galloped round that part of the Park lying between Spring Garden gate and the Treasury. They then went through the Horse Guards to Charing-cross, up Pall-Mall, and thence back again to the ground they started froM. His Royal Highness she Dux of YORK, Lord HOBART, Gen. BRowswco, Sir H. CALVERT, and several other Military Officers, of high rank, were present on the Parade, and ex pressed their satisfglion at the performance. MARGATE, SEPT. 26. SATURDAY evening Lord KEITH arrived here, and went on board several of the boys and fishing. boats anchored at the Pier, for the purpose of, in. speCtiog, and ascertaining such as may be fit to arm as part of the flotilla destined for the defence,of the Coast, it being the design of Government to arm such as are best calculated for service with carronailes, and man them with the fishermen, and other seafaring persons. The ground on the Cliff; near the Fort, which was marked out by Mr. PITT, for ereling a guard. house upon, is immediately to be applied to that purpose. The labourers began digging the founda tion this morning. A magazine as a depCit for arms and ammunition is likewise to be completed with all possible dispatch, nv. , r the Eastern battery. The second battery on the Fort is finished. The fishermen exercise every evening from five to seven o'clock, at. , ,the.great guns, and they are iolerable expert.','.:Thi, rifle corps, composed of the must re epeaable inhabitants, and the pike.men, are drilled every morning, from six to e , ght, in Mr. Coop's enclosures. An order was sent down last week from the War Office, to the Commanding Officer of the Distrid, to block op or fortify. , all the different gates in the Island. This order has been completed with asto ,3 nishing ce l erity. I n :hint, every preparation has been made to guard against surprize, and to repel r . 4. the Enemy, should he have the temerity to make an attempt. the weather continues delightfully calm, and the. baths and morning lounges are crowded with company. This (14 and yesterday a number of parties from this town went on board the Texel, : 1 ) which has shifted her position to anchorage straight off the Pier. Kew and Richmond Gardens (now united) were open on Sunday for the last pUblic day this season. C i HIS MAJESTY'S Palace se, on the exterior, nearly finished; but the interior can scarcely lit completed in less than two years. A large pile of aim is ereEting, detached a little to the northeast of the Palace, which will add considerably to the fi ne Gothic groupi ng .o f t h e w h o l e . Great improve. 'newts are begun in the disposition of the lawns, plantations, and water in the gardens, occasioned • by the scite of the new residence. We have much satisfaCtion in being enabled to say that Lieutenant Colonel MACDONALD, of the Royals, who so gallantly distinguished himself at Fort Mottle Fortuni, in St. Lucia, 'was, by the latest accounts, nearly recovered of the severe wounsts he had received on that occasion, and had set out to take the command at Tobago. Grattiville is a'small sea -port town on the coast a Lower Normandy. It was built by the English in • the reign of CiIAR L ES VII. On an eminence above ehe sea, in which a mole has been thrown. Its princi pal trade is in the Newfoundland Fishery. From Granville and St. Milo about eighty vessels annually sail on that branch of commerce, so productive as a nursery of Seamen. It has a considerable connexion with the Island of Jersey, fro' in which it is distant about la. leagues. Mr. JEPHSON; the respeitable veteran of Litera. tore, whose dramatic, poetical, and humourous ef. fusions have been so often admired, and whose miVete merits were highly esteemed, has , been suf. feted to drop into thefirteve without one .tribute of Ftiendship from the Muse.

Her ex cellence in this charaCter has often been witnessed by the Public, and has as often received the warmest tribute of applause. Her health is e vidently much improved, and she looks as well as ever. She en. feted into the part with all that disciiMination, energy, and feeling, which uniformly mark her afting, and had the same command over the sytn. pathy of the audience, The Theatre was crowded, and this great aflress received on her entrance, those eager and reite. rated greetings which arc due 'to her high profes. sional KEMBLe's Biro's was a very affeding performance. The galleries were invaded by the half price vi. sitors, just at his entrance, and the confusion dis. turbed his efforts for some time, but subsided into a quiet attention and consequent applause..

The Farce was The Irishman in London, in which ROCK performed Martoch Delany with such strong and simple humour, as procured him the warm ap plause of the audience. He will certainly be a great favourite with the Public. EDINBURGH, SEPT. 24.. FIRST REGIMENT OF ROYAL EDINBURGH VOLUNTEERS. THURSDAY,the 22d, being the day appointed for redelivering their Colours to the tst Regiment of Royal Edinburgh Volunteers, the Battalion and Artillery paraded in St. Andrew's Square, at one o'clock, from whence they , marched to the Cross, where they formed an oblong square. As won as they were.formed, Major HAMILTON, attended by the Band and a Guard of Serjeants, was sent to in. form the Lord Provost and Magistrates that the Re. giment was ready, to receive them. • In a few minutes the procession, preceded by the Band and the City Sword and Mace, entered the Square, where the Lord Advocate, First Lieutenant Colonel of the Regiment, stood ready to receive the Magisi rates at the head of the right Grenadier Company. After the usual ceremonies, the Lord Provost delivered the Colours to the Lieutenant Colonel, with an appropriate Speech. After having received the Colours, the Lord. Advocate, hol‘liog the King's Colours in his right hand, and the regimental one in his left, made an elegant reply. The Lieutenant Colonel was then proceeding to order the 'Colours to be consecrated by the Chap. lain, when liis Excellency, Lieutenant General VYSE, unexpectedly stepped forward, and paid a must handsome compliment to the Regiment, in a Speech which the Lieutenant Colonel earnestly in. treated His ExcellencY to allow to be printed, as highly grateful and encouraging to the Volunteer Force in general. After this the Regiment , presented arms, and the Colouts being placed on the drum head, the Rev. Principal Baird, Chaplain to the Corps, delivered a most excellent and impressive prayer. During the ceremony Lady CHARLOTTE CAmr- EEL 1., the Countess of GLASGOW, and several Ladies and Gentlemen of, distinction, were within she Square ; and the windows and the front of the Exchange were filled with all the beauty And fashion of Edinburgh. The Regiment made an uncommon fine appear ance, and notwithstanding a crowd, great beyond example, formed their square with the utmost re. gularity and precision. Inchiding their Artillery, there were tr6z men under arms. The ceremony being over, the Lord Advocate mounted his . Charger, and marched, 'the Regi. went to the castlehill, where Major Rbse, at the head - of the Sixth Royal Garrison Battalion,' in parade order, stood ready to receive them. After the usual compliments between the two Regiments, the VOltinteers were formed into a close column, when the Lord AdvoCate read to them the Thanks of the House of Commons; after which the Regiment marched to the Lord Provost's house, in Lothian Street, where the Colours were lodged and the Regiment dismissed. In the afternoon, the Lord Provost and Magi. strates gave an elegant dinner, in the King's Arms Teem, to the Officers.of the Regiment, His Et. cellency General VYSR, the Field Officers of the other Corps, and sever.:l other persons of distinc. lion. • CORN' EXCHANGE, Sim 28.

On Tuesday, the igth ultimo, fifteen labouring men fled from the Agricultural Settlement at Castle Hill, after having committed many ads of violence and atrocity. They at first forcibly entered the dwelling.house of Mr. Declamb, which they ran. sacked, and stripped of many articles of plate, wear. ing apparel, some fire and side arms, piovisions, spirituous and vinous liquors, a qoantity of which they drank or wasted in the house. They next pro. ceed:d to the farm houses of Bradley and Bean, at Balkham hills. Mrs. Bradley's servant man they wantonly and inhumanly discharged a pistol at, the contents cf whi c h have s o shattered his face, as to 'render hint a ghastly speCiacie, in ail pro- . bability during the remainder of his life. In Mrs. Bean's house they gave a loose to sensuality, equally brutal and unmanly. Resistance was of no avail, for their rapacity was unbridled. Numerous other delinquencies were perpetrated by this 'licentious banditti, whose ravages, however, could not long. escape the certain tread of justice. Two of the depredators were taken into custody upon the second day after their flight, near the Hawkesbury road, by Mr. Jamieson, junior, assisted by A. Thomson, Chief Constable at Flawkcsbury, and a parry of the military, who had been dispatched in pursuit of them. Upon these men were found seve ral articles of property that had been taken from the dwelling-house of Mr. Declamb ; as were also' two muskets.• On the-city following they under., went an examination before a Magi trate, by whoin they were fully committed, and sent to Sydney .un, der an escort. On the 23d ult. eleven more of the desperadoes ' were secured by a , party of the military and consta bles, between Hawkesbury and the mountains. In formation had beengiven of their haunt by a body of natives, shortly after they had broke into the house of settler, where they had stopped to grind a quantity of wheat at a steel mill, having previously secured the family, and afterwards stripped the house of all such provision as they could conveniently carry off, to gether with tw., stands of arms. They were also taken her bre a Magistrate, fully committed, and brought to Sydney"under a sufficient guard. , Justice to the Prisoners at large in the Colony requires that we stuld observe, that this banditti is entirely composed of Irish Prisoners, brought by the Bereft/is and Atlas.
