Wednesday last was mar ried at Norton, in the county of Radnor, John Lucy Scuda more, Esq., of Kentchurch Park, in that county, to Sarah Laura, eldest daughter of Sir Harford Jones, Bart., of Boulti brook. The testimonies of good will which the family at Boultibrook received on the occasion were highly gratifying ; the bride was conducted to church by the tenants, trades men, and neighbours of Sir Harford Jones, on horse back, decorated with favours (about forty in number), end who afterwards escorted the bride to the confines of the county of Radnor. In the evening they sat down to a dinner at the Radnorshire Arms, in Presteign, when mirth and festivity enlivened the board till an early hour in the morning. The town of Presteign was illuminated at night, a bonfire was made on the Warren, and sheep were roast:ll whole at Presteign and Norton. Another party of Sir Har ford's tradesmen were entertained at the Bull, and Sir Har ford's workmen dined together at the Castle, in Norton.— The bride and bridegroom were preceded through Presteign by twelve young females dressed in white, strewing flowers before the carriage. At Kentchurch, the seat of Mr. Scuda more, the happy pair were received with the most enthusias tic demonstrations of attachment by the tenantry, who had assembled at Grossmont (50 in number), where they dined in the Town-ball, and afterwards, with Mr Tudor at their head proceeded as far as Wormbridge, where they met the bride and bridegroom, and escorted them to the family-mansion. After heartily cheering the new-married couple, and wishing them health and happiness, the tenantry returned to Grossmont to spend the evening, where a large bonfire was made, and cyder and meat were distributed to the populace.

TO MISS K. KENDRICK, On her Miniature Copy of TUE Two MisEai, by QUINTIN MATSYS. Fair ARTIST, could these MISERS see Their portraits drawn so well by thee, • E'en they would gaze with pleasure; Then for thy work give all the store They seem delighted counting o'er, And deem it richer treasure. Nay, could old QUINT IN MAT SYS view A work so vivid and so true, He might admiring stand, And doubtfully his mem'ry trace, To know if so much skill and grace Came from another's hand. THE THEATRES. DRUBINLANE.—The Comedy of Wild Oats was repeated last night, and MUNDEN was able to resume the part of Eplo aim Smooth. The rest of the characters were, as usual, admirably sup ported by ELLISTON, DOWTON, TERRY, and Mrs. W. WEST. After the play a new bullet was brought forward, entitled Venetian Nuptials, or The Guardian outwitted. As it was superintended by Mr. DEOYILLE, and supported by Mr. and Mrs. OSCAR, BYRNE, Mr. and Mrs. NOBLE, and Miss TREE, and exhibits an interesting story, well represented in demi-caractere, and animated actim, it justly received the applause of a very numerous audience. COVENT-Garden.—The Jealous WYe, last night, again gave scope to the talents of Mr. C. K EM BLE and Miss CHESTER, and was so well sustain ed by the rest of the Performers that the play alto gether went off with all the force of novelty. The Bath Theatre opens for the season to morrow night, with the Opera of The Duennu. Miss DANCE and Mrs. BUNN are engaged, and Mr. DAVID FISHER., who acquitted himself so respectably -a few seasons ago at 'Drury-lane Theatre, is to make his debut next week in the part of Hamlet. This character Mr. FISHER performed once at Drury-lane Theatre with so much merit that it ought to have secured him a permanent engagement in that place. Mrs. Diclw:is, who is still at Paris, •has de clined a very liberal offer from Mr. ELLISTON. T II E LATE MR.

With reference to the instructions which have at various times been conveyed to Army Agents with a view of preventing over issues of public money, and of bringing to the immediate knowledge of the War-Office . any irregularity which may ap pear in the pecuniary transactions of a Regimental Paymaster, I am directed to call your particular attention to this subject, and to apprise you of the necessity of your making, in all cases, the earliest possible statement of any claims which you may have to prefer against a Paymaster, as it is not the intention of the Secretary at War to make any referenCe to you previously to the surrender of the Bonds of a Paymaster or his sureties. I am, &c. W. MERRY. (Signed) To Regimental Agents MILITARY RECORD OF LIEUTENANT-GENERAL ROBERT BRERETON, Late Lieut.-Colonel of the 63d Regiment of Foot. - This Officer was appointed Second Lieutenant in the late 104th Regiment of Foot on the 21st of August, 1761, but con tinued at a Military Academy till 1763, when he joined his Re giment, previous to its reduction. Ile remained on half-pay from the reduction of his Corps until the 20th of January, 1771, when he obtained a Lieutenancy in the 30th (or Cambridge shire) Regiment of Foot, joined his Regiment at Gibraltar, and continued doing duty with his Corps, on a foreign station, and in Great Britain and Ireland, till 1778. He was appointed Captain Lieutenant and Captain in the 30th Foot in Septem ber, 1778. He served the two last Campaigns of the Amencan war ; was present in the actions before Dorchester,. and on the Santee River in 1781; and in four more inferior actions, during the same and following year ; he subsequently accompanied his Regiment to the Leeward Islands, and remained there until 1789. Captain Brereton went up the Mediterranean as Captain of Marines, landed with Lord Hood's armament at Toulon, and commanded a Corps in the action of the heights of Grasse, Cape Buen, and in several other skirmishes in the attack and defence of posts. He was appointed Major of the 30th Regi ment of Foot in October 1793 ; accompanied the'Army from before Toulon to Corsioa, the December following ; was pre sent at the attack of the forts and batteries before St. Fiorenza, and at the Sieges of Bastia and Calvi, in that Island. Major Brereton obtained the Lieutenant-Colonelcy of the 63d (or West Suffolk) Regiment of Foot, on the 27th of May, 1795 ; joined that Corps at St. Vincent's, and accompanied it in November, 1796, to Jamaica. Lieutenant-Colonel Brereton was employed. in 1798 in the suppression of an Insurrection of Maroon Ne groes, in the Island of Jamaica, for which service he received, through the then Lieutenant-Governor, Lord Balcaras, his Ma jesty's gracious thanks, and the thanks of the Legislature of the Colony. The Lieutenant-Colonel returned with his Regi ment to England in 1799, was subsequently employed, the same year, in the Campaign in Holland, and was in the actions of the 10th and 19th of September, and of the 2d and 6th of October. He was sent, in 1800, in the Expedition to the Coasts of France and Ferrol, and was in the action when the enemy were driven from the heights before that town. He was appointed Colonel, by brevet, on the 29th of April, 1892—Brigadier-General, on the Leeward Island Station, on the 25th of February, 1803, and joined the Army at Barbadoes on the stli of Slay follow ing. Brigadier-General Brereton commanded a Brigade in the Expedition to St. Lucie, and the advanced corps on the attack by assault of Morne Fortunee, and remained Command ant of that Island till July 1807, when he obtained leave of absence for the recovery of his health. He was removed, in January, 1808, as Brigadier to the Irish Staff; received the rank of ,Major-General the 25th of October, 1809, and retained his Staff appointment in Ireland till the 4th of June, 1814, when he received the rank of Lieutenant-General. He died 1816. in Two companies of the 58th (or Rutlandshire) Regiment of Foot, marched yesterday from Chatham. One company is or dered to Harwich Barracks, and the other company to Land guard Fort. The above two companies of the 58th Foot will be succeeded by two companies of the 10th (or North Lincoln) Regiment, which have received orders to march from Harwich and Landguard Fort, on the 6th instant, for Chatham, where they are to arrive on the 12th inst. [From the Journal des Debat: of Tuesday last.l The following are the terms in which the Gazelle of Venice of the 10th of October gives the details of the last moments of the most celebrated of modern sculptors : " We have to perform a melancholy duty ; we have to an nounce the death of an individual, who was the glory of sculp ture and the fine arts--Antonio Canova. He arrived at Venice on the evening of the 4th of October, and brought with him a brother, to whom he was tenderly attached. They alighted to- gether at the house of M. Antonio Francesconi,with whose family Canova was connected by the ties of long continued friendship. He was so ill upon his arrival, that he found considerable diffi culty in going up stairs to his bedchamber. " From that night he began to experience violent fits of vomiting, which came on every time he took the slightest nourishment, and which were very soorl followed by a violent and continual hiccough. " Every asssistance was immediately rendered him by the most skilful physicians in Venice, but it was with the greatest difficulty that they succeeded in diminishing the frequency and intensity of these two symptoms. They found it impossible to eradicate the disease, and to open his bowels, which in spite of all their exertions remained obstructed. The patient gradually grew weaker and weaker, and at length, about noon of the 12th inst. it was no longerliossible to doubt of the approaching death of this great artist. " One of his friends, M. le Conseiller Aglietti, undertook the melancholy task of announcing the fatal information to him : his pure soul received it with a calmness and resignation, which formed a worthy termination to a life entirely consecrated to works of benevolence and religion. When he received the .sacrament, the sobs which sounded around his bed gave proof of the sorrow of all the bystanders, and of the emotions which were excited in their breasts by the lively piety with which the sick man cast himself into the arms of his God. He dictated his last will with a clearness, intelligence, and precision, which distinctly proved that he was by no means disturbed by the thought of the proximity of the moment in which he was to appear before the throne of eternal Majesty. " Some minutes afterwards, he fell into a kind of lethargic sleep, from which he kept waking from time to time. He re plied to the questions which were put to him, and sometimes spoke without being questioned; and at these intervals, which occurred frequently, he uttered many religious phrases, which were heard with veneration by all present. His friends enter tained for a moment a hope of preserving to the world one of its noblest ornaments. _ _ _ " But neither the attention of his brother, nor the help of me - dicine, nor the hospitable exertions of the family Francesconi, nor the prayers of the town, which, from the first report of his illness, had been divided between hope and fear, nor the wishes of the great personages, whom respect, friendship, or gratitude, had attracted round his bed, could protract any further the dreadfu I moment; and on the 12th of October, about 44 minutes after 7 in the morning, the heart of Canova ceased to beat. " It will belong to his historian to speak at greater length of this immense loss, which, perhaps, will be only repaired after the lapse of many centuries, and which will be felt, not only by Italy, but also by the whole of Europe, since, as an illustrious living author has said, when a man has attained to that degree of glory to which Canova had arrived, he no longer belongs to this or that nation, but is the common treasure and pride of the whole universe." FEMALE HEROISM AT SULI. SULI, AUGUST 9.-CIIOURSCIIID had left to blockade us Taller Pacha, and the Lelichtar of the late Ali-Zebelen ; we defeated them, and about one thousand two hundred infidels were killed on the border of the Acheron, but on a sudden Omar-Brione appeared at the foot of our mountains with 15,000 men. We attacked them, but in vain ; it was necessary to fight retreating, with despair in our hearts, and fore seeing our approaching ruin, we resolved to kill our wives and children, and seek a glorious death in the midst of our enemies, but the Deity did not permit the execution of such a project. When out wives heard what was passing, they assembled to gether, and, after addressing their prayers to the Supreme Being, said,—" What ! you will assassinate us ! When have we refused to help you—to load your muskets when you fought on the ramparts ? How often have we fallen on the enemy sword in hand ? In place of killing us, give us arms, and we shall know how to die gloriously.'—This Address changed our resolution; we chose eight hundred of the strongest women, and we gave them arms, the men amounted only to 3000. The next day we attacked the infidels--called the name of Gon—Gon was with us—he redoubled our cou rage,'and we succeeded at length in beating the Turks, and in chasing them from Suli. In this battle :he women fought, armed with muskets and pikes. I' hey took 250 prisoners ; on our part we took 1100 men, and four pieces of cannon ; and we lost 167 men and 17 women." DEGREES OF PRECEDENCE IN GEORGIA.—In Georgia, a tract of country partly subject to the Turks and partly to the Persians, a merchant is less respected than a mechanic, and a mechanic less than a husbandman ; but one of the most respectable employments in Georgia, •is that of a public executioner ; the profession is deemed honourable, and the professors all rich. If any man can trace a hangman amongst his ancestors, he is extremely proud of it, and never fails to mention it with exultation ; at the same time observing, that nothing is so noble us executing justice, and that the safety of the state depends upon the extermination of criminals. The County Meeting held last week at Bod min to consider of the Packet question, was well attended by all ranks and parties ; and the perfect unanimity with which the Re solutions were carried, is the best proof of the common sense and weight of the impending evil. Earl Falmouth moved the resolutions in a neat and sensible speech ; and was seconded by the vene rable County Member, Sir William Lemon. — Mr. Tremayne followed. It was essentially necessary, he said, that Government should be put in possession of the facts, and that the interest of this, county and the country, should not be whispered away. Mr. Tremuy lie was authorised to inform the meeting, that the Lord-Lieutenant ( Earl Mountedgcumbe) and Lord Dunstanville, though unavoidably absent, would cordially co-operate in every proper mea sure for averting the pending evil. BOXING. Two manly battles took place yesterday in Moorton Enclosures, eight miles northward of Blackwater, llants, and the punishment received on all sides left no pre tence for a wrangle. The first was between Joel TVeston, a publican, and Nesbit, a smith, who had fought and conquered until he was quite sweet upon himself. Five rounds, which occupied forty-two minutes were glut tonons/y contested. The first lasted eleven minutes, and each had the best of it, until Nesbit was floored by a stunning hit, which cracked his left temple severely. 2. Both weie bleeding in torrents, but they were not to be stopped by trifles. Nesbit fought gallantly, and made some good hits tell. After a rally of seven minutes Weston was thrown a heavy cross buttock, which made his frame rattle again. J. The piper was at work at each very strong, and, together with loss of blood and chancerified nobs, they were much the worse for the work, and the fastness was all over. Both were abroad, and both went down in an irregular close. 4. Nesbit was receiver again over the contused temple, which floored him from the scratch, and stupified him. 5. Weston never left his adversary, who was stunned, and he again dropped him and won the battle. SECOND BATTLE. Morton and Smith, two brave little men, fought an hour for five sovereigns, and proved themselves out and out good. Smith got his collar-bone broken, and lost the battle, when he had ten to one best. It was done by a throw. ROYAL ANECDOTE.—A correspondent on whom we place much reliance, has favoured us with the following anecdote, which has not before appeared in print :—The cele brated Mr. C—sel, of Norfolk, whose predilection for bearing radical addresses to the Throne is proverbial, had laid so many at the feet of the most exalted Personage in the realm, that at length his 111—N, with a good-humoured smile, said to him, " If you bring me up any more of these addresses, C—ke, I'll surely Knight you."—(Cheltenham Chronicle.) SMUGGLING f NGENUITY.—OnT uesday morning one of the officers of the coast blockade observed four large pieces of rock, commonly called Folk stone stone, much used in buildings, lying on the beach, near the Stade, at Folkstone, and having before observed pieces of a similar description, which, however, in a short time removed, he turned one of these pieces with difficulty over, and discovered in the opposite side a bung hole and cork, and which on drawing he found, what was thought to be a solid piece of stone, to be a vessel, answering the purpose of a half anker, and contain ing a gallon and upwards of spirits of brandy ! This most singular and ingenious smuggling device cer tainly beats the one sometime since adopted, of coveting the tubs with plaister of Paris, to re semble white chalk fragments,and has been effect ed in this way :—the rock was sawn asunder and hollowed, so as to leave a cavity, after which the bung-hole was drilled, and the two halves ce mented together. Such a contrivance, in a bet ter cause, would have done credit to the projec tor, and would prove that if blood cannot be had from a stone, brandy can.—(Kent _Herald.)

AGRICULTURE, &c• MONTHLY REPORT FOR OCTOBER.—Our latest crop, the potatoe,.has been universally harvested and stored, fully justifying the predictions as to quantity and quality. The quantity of this admi rable American root at present cultivated in Bri tain and Ireland, compared with the growth of half a century since, may be stated as more than 15 to one. From the continuance of the drought throughout September the wheat-seed season was somewhat late, but the warm and genial rains of the present month enabled the farmer to complete it in the best manner ; the' young wheats are every, where above ground, and, upou warm and fruitful soils, make a beautiful and luxuriant appearance. The warm showers have greatly improved the turnips ; and, upon fine light lands, some winter roots have been sown, with other green crops for spring cattle food. Much is not reported of the carrot crop, but we believe it to be good, affording an opportunity to those who judiciously allow that most wholesome diet to their horses, as a substitute for part of .their corn. )e• i4' the le- t / 9 Of S Of the iew NG, was Lrge gl ~~ ;en' • ill 3. roll and ,hel rapt ; lig' r t° - Os° we: :atoe iura' a gO, Ivol ) o rt o VW' rut°.
