THE ARMY. PRECEDENCE (directed by order) of REGIMENTS. His MAJESTY'S Regiments of Life Guards, and the Royal Regiment of Horse Guards, have the Precedence of all other Corps. whatever. On parades, the Horse Artillery, whether mounted or dis• mounted, take the Right of all other Cavalry. The Cavalry, whether mounted or dismounted, take the Right of Infantry of every description. The Royal Artillery have the Precedence of other Infantry. The Royal Engineers, and the Royal Sappers and Miners, take post on the Left of the Royal Artillery. The Foot Guards take the Right . of all Regiments of In fantry of the Line. The Royal Veteran Battalions are the next in Rank. Then the Regiments of Infantry of the Line, according to their Number and Order of Precedence. The Royal Marines, when acting with the Troops of the Line, are to take Rank next to the 49th Regiment. The Militia Regiments take Rank after those of the Line, according to their respective Numbers, as fixed by lot. When Regiments of British and Irish Militia are serving together, the priority ot'llank is to be considered to belong to the Militia of that part of the United Kingdom in which the Quarter may be situated: It is, however, to be understood, that this regulation refers merely to circumstances of Parade. On all other occasions Corps ate to be distributed and drawn up in the mode which the General, or other Officer commanding may judge most con venient, and best adapted to the purposes of the Services. It appears doubtful whether Eord Hill or Sir George IVltir. ray will succeed the late Sir Hildebrand Oakes, as Lieutenant. General of the Ordnance. MERCANTILE SHIPPING. DEAL, SEPT. 13.—Wind E.N.E.—Sailed this morning for the River the Eclipse, Hngdson, for Jamaica. Arrived the Waterloo, 'Wilkinson, from ditto, and remains in the Downs with the Mint, Patten, for Quebec. PORTSMOUT, SEPT. 13.—Wind N.E.—Arrived the Cale donia, Hacket, from Africa for London, in want of a cable, head of main-mast gone and short of provisions, out 63 days from Prince's Island. Sailed the Brixton Lusk, for New South Wales; Venus, Champlin, Philadelphia; Atalanta, Smith, Barbadoes CNile, Fisher, Beibice ; Foxhound, Mattison, South Seas ; Sophia transport, Cork ; his Majesty's ship L'Epigle, Cape of Good Hope ; and Alexander, Young, for London. PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 12.—Wind S.E.—Sailed the Asia, Winton, for L'Etan. FALAIOUTII, SEPT. 12.—Wind E.—Arrived off the port the Harriet, from Oporto; Blenheim, Smith, Jamaica. Sailed the Fox Packet, for Jamaica; and Blucher, ditto, fur the Me. diterranean. The Swiftsure Packet arrived yesterday from America, left New York 7th August, and Halifax the 20th ; she is put under quarantine, owing to her not bringing a bill of health from the former port, where a few cases of yellow fever had appeared. It is positively asserted in The Morning Post this day, that Mr. CANNING has " definitively been nominated Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in the room of the late and deeply la mented Marquis of LONDONDERRY." The Morn ing Chronicle, on the other hand, says, "the new Ministerial arrangements are not yet completed, notwithstanding Mr. CANNING is arrived." It was, however, likely that the Morning Post, should be best' informed on the subject, as it has been a firm, persevering, and zealous, but not a servile supporter of Government, and there fore well entitled to its confidence on all matters that may be properly disclosed to the public. FALstouTit, AUG. 12.—The Surfture Packet arrived yesterday from America. Sailed from New York, August 9th, and from Halifax the 20th. She is put under quarantine, owing to her not bringing a bill of health from the former port, where a few cases of yellow fever had ap peared. A Letter from Rio de Janeiro of the 16th of July states, that an expedition sailed on the pre ceding day fot Bahia, consisting of a frigate, two corvettes, and a brig, with 300 troops on board, an equal number of marinessa great many officers, with arms, ammunition, and artillery, the whole under the command of General LA BATE, a Frenchman. His Majesty' ship Blossom, was to sail on the 17th for the protection of the Eng lish trade and property at Bahia. The parochial elections, preparatery to the elections of the de puties for the province of Rio de Janeiro to the Brazilian Congress, were to take place en the 21st of July. The Duke of YORK visited his MAJESTY yes terday. The Earl of LIVERPOOL had an audience of the KING ye s terday. Yesterday a Board of the Lords of the Trea sury was held at the Treasury Chambers. Lord MELVII,LE left town yesterday morning at six o'clock for Scotland. Lord SlDmouTn has left town for his Lordship's seat in Gloucester shire. We are informed that it is not true, as has been reported, that the Bishop of BETEnnonouGu has abandoned his 87 questions, or any of them. — (Stamford Mercury.) We understand that Lord FRANCIS CONYNG. HAM has obtained indefinite leave of absence from his MAJESTY, and will shortly quit England to make a tour of the Continent. It is said that his Lordship intends visiting all the Courts of Europe before his return, and to pursue with diligence and zeal those diplomatic studies on which he first entered while attached to Sir. CHARLES STUART'S Embassy at Paris. The Earl of LISBUJLNE, Lord Viscount VAUGHAN, and family, after an absence of six years in France, are arrived at Crosswood Park. Cardiganshire, where they purpose in future to reside. Their Lordships have directed their agents to reduce their rents 20 per cent. On Saturday last William Castello, for being concerned with others in the abduction of Miss GOOLD, suffered the sentence of the law in Cork, in presence of an immense crowd of spectators. We learn that about half-past one yesterday • two men were apprehended in Bishopsgate street, who, it is supposed, are the persons who robbed the Ipswich Mail on the 11th instant, of sovereigns to au enormous amount. We are happy to add, that they were captured by the City Officers, with the valuable package in their possession.

The lots consisted chiefly of china, glass, and painted windows, &c. from the cottage and grotto, w►th a few vases from the American garden. In a short time the house will be sold and pulled down, and every vestige of its former splendour dispersed, and may be compared to Canons (which rose and vanished in the last century), the seat of the first Duke of Chandos, whose fate Pope foretold in his Moral Essays, thus— " Another age shall see the golden ear Imbrown the slope, arid nod on the parterre ; Deep harvest bury all his pride had plann'd, And laughing Ceres re-assume the land." The ancient manor of Wanstead was granted by Edward VI. to Robert Lord Rich. He sold it to Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, who in 1578, entertained Queen Elizabeth there for five or six days. Reverting to the Crown, King James gave it to Sir Henry Mildmay, who having been one of the Judges of Charles 1., it was forfeited to Charles 11., who gave it to the Duke of York, who sold it to Sir Robert Brooks. Of the representatives of this gentleman (who had retired insolvent to France), it was purchased by Sir Josiah Child, Bart. a great merchant, author of some valuable com mercial tracts, and grandfather to the late Earl of Tilney. It is one of the most noble houses, not only in England, but in Europe, and its grand front is supposed to be as fine a piece of architecture as any in Italy. In the neighbourhood are several villas, some distinguished for extensive gardens and pleasure grounds, but all are eclipsed by the magnificence of %% anstead house. PRESTON GUILD, SEPT. 11. The Grand Selection of Sacred Music was performed on Monday evening in the Parish Church, which was filled with a brilliant assemblage of rank and fashion. t Grand Miscella neous Concert was given last evening at the Theatre. The greatest preparations are making for the Masquerade on Fri day. The Theatre on Monday evening was graced with a very splendid audience. The Vauxhall gardens' Bowling. green was also very numerously attended, to witness the mag nificent Fireworks of M.

Mr. LiviNusTorr, finding he was fast gaining upon the ris ing land, and being very des►rous of making his descent upon the level, began to open the valve, when he had been in the air about 20 minutes; and being, as he conceived (for the ob jects below were not at that time distinctly visible), nearly over Blackburn, and at the height of above three miles. The balloon for some time descended very gradually, until com ing near the earth, Mr. Livingston could make an observa tion, and found he was on the slope of a valley ; he now threw all his weighl upon the valve, and desended with great rapidity, throwing out, as he came near the earth, his grap plityr-irons. Be fell at 5 minutes past 3in the afternoon, in a field between Stonyhurst and Blackburn, within two miles of Whalley, called Billington Moor, on the left of the high road. The balloon was dragged along by the wind over two or three fields, on the edge of a slope, and in its progress the grappling_ iron tore up every thing that impeded its way. Three hus bandmen, who had, on the first appearance of the balloon, ran to the spot, endeavoured to throw the grappling iron round a tree, and succeeded; but such was the force with which it was driven along by the current pf air, that the tree was torn up by the roots, and ene of the men, in attempting to hold the balloon down by the ropes, had his hands completely scarified. At length, after several dreadful rebounds from the earth, Mr. Livingston was thrown out of the car, at the height of eighteen feet from the ground, and fell upon his side, which, we are sorry to say, was much bruised. The ballooon it was found impossible to secure, and it rose again on being relieved from the weight of Mr. Livingston, and was driven in the direction of the German Ocean, distant about 120 miles, over the borders of Yorkshire. There is strong reason to hope, however, that it may fall before it reaches the main ocean. Livington met with the kindest attention from those who witnessed his fall, and was immediately placed on a horse and conveyed to Whatley ; thence he proceeded by the coach to Blackburn, where his bruises were dressed. On Tuesday morning he arrived at Preston, a good deal fatigued, and a little lame from the bruises on his hip, but otherwise in good spirits. TILE HERTFORD PROPERTY.—We hear that the MAR QUIS succeeds to property, in land, producing upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand pounds; during the last three year's. The Irish property produced last year twenty-five thousand pounds. Next to the DONEGAL estates, it is al lowed to be the best land in the country, and the tenantry have not been oppressed by exactioris- of any kind. The late Marquis expended, during his life; one hundred and seventy five thousand pounds in the purchase of land. There was a mis take in the account of the Dowager Marchioness's property. H er Ladyship, by the will of her husband, became possessed of two hundred thousand pounds in money ; every shilling of that sum she made over to her son. We are assured that her Lady ship has but little ready money ; but in land she has a clear income of thirty thousand pounds per annum from the York. shire estate.—We were told that the Marchioness had settled three thousand a year upon Lady WILLIAM GORDON, her sister. We since learn that it is half that sum.---The York shire estates, after the death of her Ladyship will be divided between the sisters, namely, the above, and Lady RAMSDEN. THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT, &c.—The new grand en trance making for his MAJESTY, at the House of Lords, will form a colonnade of handsome pillars. The brick-work for the foundation is finished, and the masons are now at work upon the stones for the basement. The old door of the Jerusalem Chamber is bricked up. The House of Commons is under repair. A scaffold is raised to beautify the cieling. The re pairs upon the exterior of Henry the Seventh's Chapel are now finished, anti that venerable edifice, rescued from the destruc tive power of time, stands an admirable specimen of what art can accomplish. At a fashionable route lately given in Edinburgh, there appeared a certain young coxcomb, of the name of It—, almost proverbial for self-conceit and emptiness; and who was noticed during the evening to haunt, as it were, a young lady (Miss M—), who, on the other hand, took every op portunity to get rid of such an impertinent beau. Upon the breaking up of the party, Mr. buttoning his coat, made un to his supposed admirer, and, accompanied by one of his best bows, asked the following civil question—" Pray, Ma'am, may I have the pleasure of seeing you home ?" Miss M , looking at him, responded with the greatest sang froid, " Pray. Sir, may I have the pleasure of asking the nursery maid to put you to bed ?" Mr. R--, quite crest-fallen at this unexpected " cut direct," turned on his heel, and walked out of the room, without uttering a syllable. —( Edinburgh, Observer.) POETRY. ELEGIAC. When I have reach'd that resting place To which each moment hastes me on, I care not who my path may trace, Or what they say when I am gone ; If thou, the star by whose soft light I journey'd o'er life's stormy wave, 'Wilt cheer my latest longest night, And shed thy influence o'er my grave. Let those I neither shunn'd nor sought, Bestow their need of praise or blame ; I care not what the million thought, If only thou wilt love my name I ask no other eye to weep, I ask no other heart to sigh, When I shall sleep that dreamless sleep, Thot wakes but to Eternity! To N- . O'L - WINCHESTER, SEPT. 13. The FESTIVAL of the SOCIETY of the NATIVES and CITI ZENS of WINCHESTER, for Apprenticing the CIIILDREN of POOR NATIVES. The Anniversary of the above Festival was holden yesterday in this City; the day as usual was ushered in by the ringing of bells, &c., and at 11 o'clock, the Trustees, preceded by the Rev. Mr. WEsTcomß, the Chaplain, and the objects of the Charity, walked in procession to the Cathedral where Divine Service was performed, and a most excellent Sermon was de livered by the Chaplain, who inculcated the doctrine, that " zee must do g•ood whenever we had an opportnnity so to do :" after which the procession moved on to St. John's House, when the children wore exhorted to do their duty by the Trustees and I Chaplain, and most satisfactorily answered all questions put to them. At five o'clock, a most sumptuous Dinner of Turtle, Venison, and Game, was served up by Starling of the White. Hart, at which' NATHANIEL ATCHESON, Esq. one of the senior Stewards, presided, with his usual spirit and good humour. Many: loyal, constitutional, and local Toasts were given ; and Catches and Glees, and Solo Songs, were sung by Dr. CHAIM, and some of the Gentlemen of the Cathedral.— Among the Toasts given were—" Mr. Atcheson," (who pre sented two very fine Turtles); " The Duke of Buckingham, Lord Bolton, Mr. Leigh, Mr. Fleming, the Marquis of Chan dos, Earl of Northesk, Lord Rodney, Sir Thomas Baring, Mr. Jervoise, Mr. Mildmay, and Mr. Chandos Leigh, the Dowers of the Game and Venison." The worthy Chairman did rot leave his chair till nearly 11 o'clock, when all departed highly gratified and delighted. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, SEPTEMBER 13.—The Reverend W. Thursby, M.A., of Oriel College, in this University, elected to the Vicar. age of All Saints, Northampton, void by the death of the Rev. C. H. Tufnell.—The Rev. S. H. Savory, A.M. to the Vicarage of Houghton Juxta Harpley, Norfolk ; patron, the Marquis of Cholmondeley, The Rev. A. C. Payler, M. A. to the Living of Headcorn, Kent, void by the death of the Rev. D. Evans. EXETER, SEPT. 11.—On Sunday last, the Lord Bishop of this Diocese held a private Ordination in his Chapel, within his Palace, when John Abbott, A. 8., of Pembroke College, Ox ford, and William Martin, A. 8., of Merton College, Oxford, were admitted to the Holy Order of Deacons. ROYAL WEST LONDON THEATRE.—AS this Theatre has been so much improved in embel lishment and convenience, and as Marybone is now a little world in itself, it is not surprising that it should here give encouragement to dramatic entertainments, particularly as Mr. BRuNTON is a good actor, his daughter a firQ rate comic actress, and his performers altogether possessed of respecable abilities. In our previous notice of this Theatre we ought to have mentioned Madame BAUR, a native of this country, and a pupil of Mr. NATHAN. She is a scientific singer, and possesses a good voice, as well as a correct taste. She gave a song of RossiNt last night, and joined in a duet with Mr. Dorms, who is a good singer. They both acquitted them selves very well, and were much applauded.— The three dramatic pieces were what we noticed before, viz. .7'he Widow bewitched, What we must all come to, and Paul and Justin. As the town is populous enough to patronize all the summer Theatres we may rejoice that " Mary bone and Hockeley in the Hole," are no longer seminaries for highwaymen and pickpockets, as at the origin of The Beggar's Opera. If a negociation now in progress, terminates as expected, our new Theatre will open in the first week of October, with an Italian Company, of which Madame CATALANI will be the Puma Donna. Miss STENIENS and Mr. BRAIIAH are engaged to perform during the ensuing season.-- (Dublin Paper.) We understand Miss CHESTER, late of our Theatre, is engaged at Covent-Garden, for die ensuing season. Mr. RAyNER, of this circuit, is also in treaty with the Managers of Covent- Garden Theatre, for the late Mr. EMERY's cast of characters.—(Doncaster Gazette.) We are glad to hear that Captain OWEN, of the Bellerophon hulk, who was stabbed by the convict, Hartley, is in a fair way of recovery, every symptom of mortification having disappeared.—( Kentish Gazette.) A woman at Patching, near Arundel, on Saturday, was poisoned by taking oxalic acid, instead of salts. Some researches, by excavation, are now making on the site of Richboro' Castle, one of the Rutupian Ports, which are expected to throw much light on the era of that an cient structure. Monday last the Wiltshire pedestrian undertook, for a wager of 501., to perform WO miles in twenty successive hours, which he performed on a piece of ground in the garden of a public-house, in Winchester, in 25 minutes less than the given time. In France the names of persons about to enter the tnarriaze state, are placed on the door of the Hotel de Ville, or Town-house, guarded by a neat brass fence, to prevent injury from mis chievous persons ; and if the same precaution were to be adopted in England, and a penalty of 5/. for any one caught in the act of defacing the names on, the church doors, it would have the effect of preventing one of the provisions of the New Marriage Act being defeated. FIRE.—A fire broke out at four o'clock yes terday morning in the back part of the house of Mr. GOODWIN, 14, Norton Falgate, fancy biscuit baker. On its first being discovered, an alarm was given to the inmates, but the fire was raging with such fury that it prevented them from coming down stairs; they, however, made their escape along the parapet in a state of nudity.— By this time several engines had arrived, and a plentiful supply of water being ready, the flames were extinguished, after doing much damage backwards, and destroying part of the front of the house. YOUNG WATSON. [From the Glasgow Herald.l In last April we inserted in this paper a letter from Baltimore, stating that this young man had been found guilty of burglary, and sentenced to death. This account pro duced a very affecting remonstrance from the elder Mr. Wat son, and we were certainly distressed at having been the means of giving circulation to the statement. As the truth of it, how. • ever, was questioned, we thought it necessary to call upon the Gentleman in Baltimore to send us some authenticated docu ment which we might publish, in justice both to himself and us. These documents we have accordingly received, and have again, most reluctantly, to revert to the subject. It appears that Watson had obtained a second trial at the Circuit Court in Davidson's county, at which he was acquitted of the capital offence, but found guilty of the lesser charge, and sentenced accordingly. Against this last finding and sentence Watson appealed to the Court of Review at Nashville, and the papers now lying be fore us are the certified extracts from the records of that Court. As it was from the result of the second trial that the appeal was made, the proceedings at the first trial, in which Watson was capitally convicted, did not come before the Court, and consequently are not noticed in the extracts received ; but it will not escape the reader that one of the reasons of appeal from this second trial is, that 'Watson, at the time when the sentence was pronounced, " was under the judgment of death for a capital felony." In the authenticated report of the second trial it was stated, that when Watson was asked if he had any thing to say why judgment should not proceed against him, he replied that he had nothing but what he had before said. This must refer to the powerful speech which he made upon the first trial. We shall first insert the letter of the gentleman at Balti more, whose respectability we formerly vouched for, and then sonic of the extracts, for they are too bulky to be given in whole. " Baltimore, August 3, 1822. t' Annexed you have a copy of the last trial granted to young Watson. " It appears Watson was first convicted of burglary, and sentenced to be hung; but a new trial being granted him (in which the Jury not agreeing), he was discharged. He was, however, found guilty of larceny, and sentenced to receive 20 lashes, as the copy of trial will testify. " My motives being so grossly misrepresented by the father of Watson, is the only thing that induces me to subject you to this expence and trouble. I hope it will be entirely satisfac tory. Watson has never been able to make himself of any ge neral notoriety in this country; in fact, he is too contemptible to be noticed in any way." DOCUMENTS. Pleas at the Court-house in Nashvillo, in the State of Ten. nessee, before the Hon. Robert Whyte, John Haywood, and Thomas Emmerson, Esqrs. Judges of the Supreme Court of Errors and Appeals for the state aforesaid, on the 3d Monday in January, in the year of our Lord 1822, and of the indepen. dence of the United States the 46th. JAMES WATSON, PLAINTIFF, V. THE STATE, DEFENDANT, IN ERROR. Be it remembered that heretofore, to wit on the 31st day of December, 1821, the transcript of a record, being an appeal in the nature of a writ of error, from the Circuit Court of David son, county, was filled in the office of the Clerk of the Supremo Court of Errors and Appeals, for the fourth judicial circuit, in the words following, to wit : Here follow some papers of form, not material to the case. Next comes a long paper giving a list of the Grand Jury and their proceedings, presenting that James Watson, physi cian, about twelve o'clock at night of the 24th day of S.ptem ber, forcibly broke into the house of Wm. Hume, and feloni ously and burglariously took therefrom one blue coat, value 41/ dollars, one thermometer of the value of 5 dollars, and one eyo glass of the value of 1 dollar. The next document is the report of the trial. Watson having pleaded his inability to employ counsel, the Court appointed. Thos. 'Washington and Alfred Balch, Esqrs. to aid him in his defence, and the trial was deferred for eight days. On Monday the 19th of November the trial was proceeded in, when the jury found Watson not guilty of the burglary, but guilty of the larceny ; upon which the Judge sentenced that he should be imprisoned two months, and receive publicly 20 lashes, allow ing him, however, to appeal to the Supreme Court at Nash ville, which he accordingly did ; and we now proceed with the documents. And now, to wit at the term first above-mentioned, the plain tiff; in error, comes and says, that in the record and proceedings aforesaid there is manifest error in this—lst, The description given in the indictment of the articles alleged to have been stolen, is not sufficient : 2d, At the time of judgment in thl case plaintiff was under the judgment of death for a capital felony : :id, In not arresting judgment on motion of the defend.. ant.—For these and other errors, to be assigned on argument, plaintiff prays said judgment to be reversed, annulled, and held for naught. BALCH and WASHINGTON, Attornies. And at the same term, to wit the term first above mentioned, came, as well the said James Watson, in custody, &c., as the Solicitor-General for the seventh Solicitoriul district, whereupon, as well the record and proceedings aforesaid, as the matters by the said James Watson for error assign. ed, being seen and by the Court there fully understood, and mature deliberation being thereupon had; for that it seems to the Court here, that neither in the record and proceedings afore said, nor in rendering the judgment aforesaid, in any thing Is there error; it is therefore considered by the Court here, that the judgment aforesaid be in all things affirmed., the matters and things by the same James Watson assigned and alleged fax error in any wise notwithstanding. Therefore, in the motion U the said Solicitor General, it is considered by the Court here that the said James Watson be remanded to jail, there to re main until Wednesday, the 20th day of March next, and that on the said 20th-day of March he receive on his bare back * the public whipping-post, in Davidson county, twenty lashes, and that he pay the costs of prosecution. And it is ordered that execution of this judgment be made and done upon him the said James Watson, by the Sheriff of Davidson county, on the said 20th day of March next, between the hours of twelve o'clock in the forenoon and four in the afternoon of the same day.

We regret to learn that Francis William Cobb, Esq. banker, of Margate, with his lady and daughter, aged 9 years,) met with a serious accident in returning from Rarns gate in a gig, on Tuesday last. When near Margate, the horse taking fright, suddenly turned round with his beak close to a hedge, which he immediately leaped, dragging the gig after him down an abrupt declivity, by Which shock the horse was liberated from the gig, and Mr. and Mrs. Cobb, with their daughter were thrown out to some distance into the field ; Mrs. and Miss Cobb were bruised but not seriously injured ; unhappily Mr. C.'s thigh was fractured just above the km, : the fracture hat since been reduced, and we are happy to be 4. formed he is in a fair way of doing well,—( Kentish Gzzctl44
