Friday, part of- the 66th Regiment arrived at Southampton, on their route from Bristol to the ,depot in the Isle of Wight; they embarked ill).- mediately, and are to be followed progressively by the remainder of the Regiment. The dep6t of the 20th Light Dragoons will al•_ rive at-Radipole Barracks (to be stationed there) in the course of this week. , Part of the 23d Light . Dragoons marched through town this morning, on their route from the depot at Maidstone to Birmingham. .. ,The 28th Regiment, and Ist Battalion of the 52d, 71st, and 9lst - Regiments, have received or ders to bold themselves in readiness to join the English Army in America. A considerable detachment of soldiers, `raised by Government for the 'East India Company's service, was last week embarked in the Duncombe transport, at Gravesend, for the Isle of .Wight ; it has been ealcnlated, that• the embarkation of these men in the neighbourhood of. London, with out sending them to the Army Depot, would he a saving to the Company of twenty thousand pounds per annum. Thursday, a General Court Martial assembled within Edinburgh Castle, for the trial of Assistant Surgeon LYSTER, of the 7th Dragoon .Guards, on charges connected with the management of the • Depot Hospital at Musselburgh. Dr. SOMER VILLE, Deputy Inspector of Hospitals in North Britain, appeared, as prosecutor. ALEXANDER LUMSDEN, Esq. Advocate, and Mr. DONAL)) MAC LEAN, attended on - behalf of the prisoner. S UPPOSED MURDER. On S aturday evening, - a man about .50 years of age, was found dead in Greenwich Park, under very suspicious circamstances of murder. An Inquest has since been held on, the body before JOSEPH CARTTAR, Esq. one of the Coroners for Kent, which, after a• laborious investigation of two days, 'was unable to satisfy the great pains and public anxiety that this case' bus pr o d uce d, inasmuch as notwithst an di ng a great number of witnesses were examined, and every diligence used, the Jury at last were obliged to find a ver dict of---." killed by a gun-Shot, fired by some person or persons unknown." It appeared befOre the Co roner, that the name of the deceased was Thomas Putnam ; that he was a man retired from bUsi ness, and accustomed to walk about the Park and Blackheath for his amusement ; and that a bullet from some fire-arms ,had been shot through his head from temple to temple, about five o'clock on Saturday evening, as•is supposed (the report of a gun havieg been heard at that time in the Park by several persons); but the body was not found till, near eight o'clock, when two vagrants, who were going up the main walk to the Heath-gate,. " dis covered it _quite dead, - near •the corner of the. Princess of Wales's inclosure, and gave an alarm to the townspeople, who fetched the body away • the same, evening. Suspicion having 'fell - on the parties who gave the information, they were de- tallied and examined before the Jury, but nothing could be fixed upon them ; nor, indeed, could any clue be discovered to lead to th e l east exp l anation I of the. mystery. No fire-arms could be found, nor any bullet mark near the spot. It is strongly suspected, however, that mischief was intended to the Park-keeper (who has lately exerted him self very much in preventing disorderly persons remaining all night in the Park, for which he has been threatened by some of them), for whom the deceased tilight have been taken as be was return ing from the, Heath that evening. This, however, is mere suggestion ; and unless a reward, which . is to be offered by the parish of Greenwich, shall produce some further evidence,thaa could be ob tained before the Jury, it is feared the authors of this fatal and melancholy event will not be disco vered. The deceased was a single man, and-there is not time slightest cause to think, that he de stroyed himself. LAW INTELLIG.%NCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, DEC. 7. DREADFUL OCCURRENCE Extract of a letter from Manchester, dated sth Dec. 1824 :—" A scene of almost unexam pled horror occurred last night, at one of our Methodist Chapels. Some villains, for the pm . - , pose of plunder, gave the alarm of tire. The Chapel was very full—the effect was instanta nerms— all rushed for the doors, and in the con- . flict, three persons were trod to death, and about thirty dreadtnlly.hurt. Some of the perpetrators of this calamitous affair were taken into custody." ANOTHER ACdOLINT.---Oti Sunday evening last, an immense congregation was assembled in the Methodist Chapel, in Oldham -street, Manchester, to hear the sermon about to be delivered in coin menioration of the late Dr. COKE, ~ 1 ho a short time since died on his passage to India, for the purpose of propagating the Gospel. While the assemblage was awaiting the commencement of the, service, which was not to begin• for hall an hour, a false alarm was raised by some mischievous it is supposed, as if t h e ga ll ery was giving The entire, crowd rushed immediately rzitr' to wards the outlets with such violence, that several persons were thrown down and trodden upon.; among whom were two w omen, who di ed a few minutes after. Several persons were severely bruised. The a l ar m was entirely without foun dation, the - gallery being perfectly safe. FOOTPAD.-Monday eveninp• as Mr. CORNEY, who resides a t Stanstead, a Vill age between Hod desdon and Ware, was returning from Hoddes don on foot, and, when lie had• got about hatra mile from the town, at the b o tt om . 'Of the - bill, he was attacked by two footpads, armed with bludgeons, who, it is supposed, had got- the knowledge of his being at Hoddesdon for the purpose of receiving a , sum of money, and way. laid him • they tripped him up, and one of them held him down, while - the other rifled his pockets of Bank Notes to the amount of up wards of 1001. and other property, also his watch, chain, and seals. • They left him on . the ground,. and made off up a lane. After Mr. CORNEY had recovered himself, he made - the best of hi s way back to Hoddesdon, and procuring assistance, went With torches in pursuit of the rohbers. They searched the fields, -and for some distance near the lane, but were obliged to give up the pursuit; CONTEMPT OF COURT -WARD OF CHANCERY ---AND CONSPIRRCY AGAINST JURISDICTION. This morning at the sitting of the - Court, Mr• SHADvrgLL moved, on the petition of the nearest friend of Miss . Ann Wade, a young Heiress and a Ward of Chancery, now only seventeen years of age, but possessed of an income of - 5000/. a-year in her own right, for process bf.contempt against Charles H. Beaseley, son of the Rev. Mr. Bease ley, and hiS associates; for breach of an - order and injunction issued heretofore, .to restrain the said Charles H. Beaseley from prosecuting' his illicit courtship with the Wa'rd. • There were.previous and private considerations and proceedings before the Lord Chancellor, to prevent such 'unlawful intended union, when the case was diScovered approximating to matrimony, dr publication of banns ; and the order was so full as to'prohibit. any further intercourse, either in person or by letter, with the ward ;. but the ingenuity of the ardent lover was found to have extended to the facts now charged, of conveying a letter through the maid -servant to the young lady, and to the further charge of having offered a bribe of one thousand pounds to one of the Bow-street Officers of Police for his assistance. and co-operation in gaining posiession of her persOn, in direct violation of the order of Court. The letter,was produced and read, couched in the usual terms of love, with an invitation to his arms. But an obstacle occurred to the p resent motion, on the want of proof of the han&writing, which induced the Lord Chancellor to direct.in qniry to be made for the late school-fellows of Mr. Beaseley, where he was lately'educated for persons to prove, hand-writing, or among his tradesmen or those supplying him with articles of necessaries, among whom the required evidence could easily be found, and the motion to stand suspendedior a very few days for that purpose. His Lordship regretted this defect, and added, on, this occasion, that ha,should chew many their error respecting the extent of the jurisdiction of this Court in such cases, since he felt inclined, on the •verification of the charges in this Petition, to hand over the same as - sufficient to ground a criminal prosecution for a Conspiracy, to the At torney-General ; the consequence of a conviction on which would subject the principal and his ac complices to punishment more serious and atilict ing to the feelings of many persons than imprison !Went, or even transportation, nay, even death itself—(we suppose - the standing on the pillory) ; and ordered iliSpatch and diliirence to be used. in proving the hand-writing, and the motion to be brought on as quickly as possible.—The motion was suspended.

The plaintiff is . a haberdasher, residing in London, and the defen dant a milliner, at Liverpool.

The plaintiff then said, '' You barbarous fellow you dare not ;" upon which the defendant "struck Kt him with the end of a Urge stick,'which he had before broken-on the horse, and which Was pro. duced in Court ;, the plaintiff received on his arm the blow ) which was, folloWed by two-others on the head, whiCh caused the blood to spin out from it. A scuffle ensued, when both parties fell to the grieund. It was stated, on the other band, by two wit nesses for the tlefendint, who had seen his treat ment of the horse from the commencement, as well as the origin of the fray, that while the de fendant %vas heating his horse, which was restiie, the plaintiff came up, and using language too ob scene to be repeated, thrust his fist in his face, .and to strike• him if be struck th e horse That• in spite of the defendant's remon strances, he - was aiming a blow at him, when the defendant struck him on the knuckles with his stick, when they closed, and the two blows were struck on the plaintiff's head.

If it' were too heavy,- be declared his intention of having a new one Wit. In ei ther case, the witness .was to allow him 61. for the old chaise: Lloyd sent far .the chaise the same_ afternoon ; and, in the course of a week or ten days afterwards, be waited on witness, and stated that it would not suit him, at the same time, he gave an order for the building of a new one. The prisoner was perthitted to. make use of the chaise in his possession, until the new one was completed. Cn the 15th . df September, the wit ness received a note from Lloyd, calling on him to finish the order as soon as possible. On the Monday following, the prisoner sent a messenger to say, that he wished to have the chaise next morning. It was accordingly delivered to hint - by one of the witness's men —witness bung then in the country, an d not having left any order that it should be detained. The chaise which was lent ought to have been re -turned—hat it was not. Witness, on 'learning the prisoner's character, proceeded to the Black Horse, in dray's-Inn-lane, where he found the chaise be had lent, and he took it away with . him. Next morning two persons, named Flack - and . Pasle, (the latter the proprietor of the Black Horse Livery Stables), came to his house, in his absence, and stated that they bad purchased the chaise which witness had lent to the prisoner.— He never got the new chaise back.

Cross-examined.—He never complained of the circumstance at any Police Office tid the prisoner was apprehended. • William Yieston, the prosecutor's servant, de livered the chaise to the prisoner's . order. An uld chaise was to have been returned, but he did nut receive it. , J. Paste, the owner of the Black-horse Livery.. stables, recollected the bargain between the pro st•cutor and the prisoner, in AugnsftWelve months. Prisoner had an old chaise at witness's yard. H e remembered a chaise being sent to his yard, by the prosecutor, for Lloyd. The latter used it for a month or six weeks, as his 'own. lie then sold it• to a person of the name of Flack, from whom witness pen:has-et( it. The RECORDER shortly addressed the Jury, ob serving, that as Mr. Large had recovered the chaise he had lent, there was no proof to Make out a fraudulent conversion of the property on the part of the prisoner, who was Acqz;itted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. QUEEN-SQUARE. STEALING' WET LlNEN:—Yesterday. Thomas Bentley and David Roberts, two very young men ,and reputed thieves, were charged with haying robbed Mr. Arundel, of Stafford-place, of wet .linen, by getting into the yard where it was hung out to dry. Bentley being perceived, he was pursued so closely, that although he threw the linen down an area, he was unable to escape. Nothing but suspicion, from companionship, at taching to Roberts, he was discharged.
