A detachment from the 3d battalion, Ist regi. giment -Foot- Guards, cOrnmanded by: Captain GRANT, marched front the Birdcage Wr i olk at eight o'clock on Saturday morning, to relieve those do ing duty at Kew. The unilerme»tioned Battalions are to be. ►e dnced on the 24th instant—the Officers to be placed on half-pay.-2d 'Battalions, of 15th-- Foot, 18th, 22d, 23d, 24th , , 25th, 26th, 31st, 32d, 36th,' 38th, 41st, 42d, 45th, 48th, 49th, 50th, and 3d Battalion of the 56th, and 2d Battalions of the Glst, 63t1, 86th, 92d, and 96th. The • Ist battalion of the 43d regiment have been countermanded from Dartmoor, and are or- - dered to hold themselves in readiness for embark ation at Plymouth. Mr. YOUNG continues . too much indisposed to perform, and therefore the part of Rolla, in Pizarro, was .assumed last night by Mr. CoN WAY. The Greeks of the Isle of Chios, have lately •established in the capital of their island-anexten sive public library. During the listfifteen years, Cesarea, in Cappadocia, has been the scat of -a considerable Greek College, in which is taught philosophy, history, geography,..ancient Greek, modern Greek, French, &c. The Director is a learned Ecclesiastic. The PatriarCh of Constan tinople protects their schools. In consequence of an inquiry, instituted with the sanction of Govern►nent, it. has been ascer tained that the number of persons in the metro polis, who subsist by begging, amounts to abort 6000 adults and 9288 chiidren. The gross amount of the sums extorted annually from the public, by their importunities, is, at the very, lowest cal culation, estimated at 97,1261. 10s. Last Thursday a number of stocking and other weavers, who, for want of employment in this country, had in vain sought it in France, where, during a considerable stay, they could not pro- . cure a day's .work, were landed here, in a very, distressed condition, by Captain IILABER, of the Thomas packet, who took compassion on then,' at Dieppe, and brought them ()vet' gratuitously. — (Sussex Adcertiser.) On Tuesday last, Capt. CA S TLES put a period to his existence in Chichester, by cutting his throat . in. such a shocking manner, as to occasion his in stant death.An inquest has been held on the body. Verdict—lnsanity, . CHEMICAL DETONATING BALL.--The Public, it seems, are not yet suilicivitly guarded against the violent effects of the above preparation. The other day, as a Gentleman was in the act of giv ing one to a.friend, the ball exploded, took cif the end of a fore-finger -- and nail, and lacerated his hand and face in a most dreadful mAnner; the explosion nearly caused suffocation to both parties, •and in addition broke a mirror, several panes of glass ; and what more strongly evinces the• violence of- the component parts,, literally broke a thick mahogany dining-table.

Chent, Sept. :30,,181:1 .J. S. THE THEATRE. The.-,popularity of Mr..l“Aly was manifested last night by a crowded audience, to witness his debut for the season in the character of Richard the Third. He Was received on his- entrance with warm and reitetated applause. We attended very . particularly to his performance throughout, and it appeared evident to us, that his voice has• been strengthened and improved by his unceasing prac tice during the sununer. We observed no strik ing alteration inlirs acting, though is e think there is'someimprovementin his gesture, except in his gait,. which is still totally devoid of dignity. There is more ease in his manner altogether, the probable result of more .self-possession, front .his extrzumlinary success. There is still too much of the nie/o-drams action; when be 'says, the " dogs bark 'at him as ~he halts by them," be pauses sometime, and points be hind him, as if they were at his heels. Ile also continues to express With his fingers the crawling of spiders, and points to rite ground to denote treading on. them. His pauses are more frequent, and somewhat tedious ; there was a long one be tween " in time deep bosom of the ocean" and " buried," and he delivered the following passage thus " Saddle White Surrey—for the field—to morrow." After saying to Buckinghani, `' - busy, th ou t rou blest me—Pm .not in the vein !" instead of dashing - off. in rage, he stops as hereto fore; anti, for a few moments, looks intently on hint. Ile has also the same eusttim of turning his back upon th e p erson x'h'o speaks to him : lleetid so when Bucking/win is telling him the result of his visit to the city, though Richard is so much in terested in the intelligence; and he did so .while the Nobles are in Court attending the Prince of Wales, except' when lie was to address the latter himself. We may be permitted to enter into these remarks, because he is held forth by his enthu siastic admirers as the great Actor of Nature, be fore whom all his competitors are submissively to bow. We could make many other observations, but we do not wish to subject, ourselves to the suspicion of affecting singularity. Upon the uffiele, .his acting is very effectii.e, .though _We certainly cannot consider it as critically correct, and deserving of the almost unprecedented en comiums lavished upon it, as a model of excellence. Very Extraoralinury.—ln the Lottery, just finish ed, .there were Two Prizes of 20,000/. and Two Prizes of 10,0001. inn! yet BISH only Sold one of each, viz. 2,712, a Prize of 10,000/., and 10,775, a Prize of 20,000/. in Shares, with a variety of minor Capitals. Most of the Shares have already been paid, but those who hare not yet received their Prize Money, may exchange them for Tickets and Shares in the new Lottery of 6,000 Tickets, to be all drawn on Saturday the 15th of this Schemes, with particulars, may he had gratis, at•liisn's Offices, 4, Cornhin, and 9, Cha ring-Cross, *here all business in the Public Funds is transacted with fidelity and dispatch.

The Hottentot Venus is quite the rage at Paris ; no less than six dramatic sketches in which a cha racter of her is introduced, are now representing at different Theatres in that Capital. A steeple race across the country from, the vil lage of Sarr, Bucks, to Gerrard-cross, a distance of 20 miles, took place on Saturday bctween Captain .111ILNES, t»ounted on his fatuous hunter Steady, and olr. I-lAvwooD, mounted on a cies nut mare. The match was for 200 guineas, and it was won in 50 minutes by Mr. HAAT woon.---- Capt. AIILNEs was thrown out by Steady failing in a leap, although 6 to 4 the favourite. Some remarkable tine leaps ,were made. A letter front Uxbridge, dated Sept. 27, says : ---" An engine, designed by Lieutenant-Colonel OnseLot, - was tried in this neighbourhood yes terdqy against some fir trees. The experiments were renily curious; It is intended to be used against ships, and - must be formidable at sea ; one discharge Will cripple any vessel under weigh, by instantly burning the ropes, sails, &c. , The prin ciple is not known, though it appears simple_• Two globes of fire were shot at it tall tree at.se- . veral hundred yards distance, to which they clung, and burnt with great fury ; on the eighth dis charge-, the bursting of the engine, which was of cast iron, delayed the completion of the intended experiments. Our merchantlllCll Will Ile»ceforth become as formidable (thus armed) as ships. of war have been heretofore." It stated in an Irish Paper, that on the Courtenay estates, which have been recently much improved,'a reduction is directed to be made of 25 per cent. - on the rents of such farms as have been let within the last four or five years, In the night of the :6th tilt, the mansio►i of Wackerbartsruhe, situated on the road frotn,Dres' Glen to Meissen, and the' usual summer retreat ,of: her Royal Highness the Princess Et.I.7,ABETtt of SAXON v, was broken into, and robbed of several valuable watches and snuff-boxes, with portraits of the Archduke Cu A 11 . LES , and other' illustrious persons, - together with many other jewels ;,bc-: sides 50 double Augustus d'ors, 100 Napoleon d'ors, 300 ducats, &c. A reward of 100 ducats offered for the discovery of the robber. Two men, father andson , in-law, were suffocat- , . ed in a draw-well, in the neighbourho o d of M o ld ; on the 22d instant. The particulars of this me:• lancholy affair are these former of the two was let down in the bucket by his u ife, in order to get water, the spring being so small, owing to the dryness of the St..son, ,that none could be procured in the ll§tlat way ; finding he stayed long, and not answering her call, she, went to an adjoining field to fetch her sonin-law,-wh o immediately came and slid down the rope, hot before he reached the.hottom, was suffocated.--;.(Shrews.; bury Chronicle, Sept. 30).
