PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. PARIS, JULY 17.—LVOns is still agitated. Tie last accounts from that city announce that impor tant arrests have taken place there, and that the true thread of the Conspiracy, which has since the last restoration disturbed that city, is be lieved to be discovered. MADRID, JULY B.—Whatever foreign Journals May say, and particularly the French, the plan ot Finance daily experiences new obstacles. Not tvithstaniling the energy with which the Minister of Fincinces, M. Garay, endeavours to execute it, he ,bas already been compelled to yield several points. VIENNA. JULY 10.—Trade has lately begin) to revive a little. This improvement is attributed to the news from America, and particularly front the Brazil, which have raised the price of merchan dise at Trieste and.Hatuburgli. The letters trom Trieste say, that business is becoming very active there. The accounts front Hungary are, however, - still very unsatisfactory. Notwith standing the general fertility of that country, famine prevails in many districts, and particu larly in Transylvania. The Government or dered supplies to the places which suffer most, but the relief arrived too late. Epidemic dior ders had already made considerable progress, the harvest was remote, and the Carpathian mountains. too inaccessible to permit the transpiring of grail►, at any price, from Poland or Russia. Hun gary is stilt overrun with hands of beggars ; seve ral have been seen to fall down dead before the doors of those who refused them alms. f,ir the new Magistrates of Neo grad, which tuck place some weeks ago, were very tumultuous. More than 2,500 Nobles were as sembled on this occasion. A spectacle woe exhi bited which re•entbled tae stormy Diets of Poland. Sabres %veie drawn, and a thousand violences committed before the elections were compleated In fact they ‘vere•not eatried by the nnijority of voters, but hy party violence.

FRACAS AT DIEPPE THEATRE. - BRIGHTON, • JULY 24.—Last••night the Hero packet, Captain BUCKLEY, arrived from Dieppe, in ten hours, u ith passengers and merchandize. From a Gentleman on hoard, who was present at serious fracas at the Theatre on Sunday last, we have e obtained the particulars of an extraordinary ebullition of political feeling. On Sunday, the 13th of this month, the Officers of the Military' and Gens d'Armes commanded a play to be per formed, in which were some pointed . allusions re flecting upol the citizens about 23 years ago. These rt fi:ctions upon their loyalty (hiring the revr ,l ot i (wf ,.y period created considerable auitnad version. • On Sunday last, the resident inhabitants (patronised a c, itedy (the name of which. we have not learned) that contained several pointed re marks upon tire character of soldiers, as servile, an d re presenting them ready to fight for any mo narch or Tyrant. The Theatre was crowded to excess, and the boxes were chiefly occupied by the vilitary.and their friends ; the pit and gallery by the inhabitants of the town. The first act proceeded on quietly, but a sentence at the latter part of the second act, charging the army with abandoning their monarch, threw the Theatre into it scene of riot and confusion. The Officers, Perceiving the aerimo,y of political contest, de parted from the boxes and endeavoured to restore peace in the gallery; but their exertions were of vo avail. Loyal and'seditious songs and expre3- s :„ ns were mingled in vociferation from the- pit anti gallery. Twelve file of men were then placed In, ( b e gallery, with their bayonets fixed. The oVerpOiver , ed this Snl r di f orce , an d ad clvtic;,' ii aid was calk(' in. At length a terrible sc „fi) e snsned, in winch several men were wound ed. Ofii , :ers lost no time in procuring all the , hie .ty and c ivil f orc e in the t o wn anti nei,e,')boul hood The Theatre was sur rounded, an d U C rttdience capitulated. All per sous s „ si , c ,, te d being active in the contest were secured, and sent to ptison ; others were detame!h en surveillance ; and as soon as the town was i.uf ficentiv garrisoned, the innocent were allowed to et-inn:home. At ele%en o'clock at night peace and Pond order were restored. At tie one the. Hero sailetl the angrs , feeling between the mili tary and citizens was by no weans appeased, GRAND REV!EW. Yesterday at nottuslOw Heath a RevieW of Cavalry took place before his Royal Highness the ItEp-ENT, consisting of a complete brigade, formed out of the Ist and 2d Regiments of Life Guards and the Oxford Blueg. The road to Hounslow (ruin Lo 1 11(M11 was, at a very early hoar, crowded with vehicles of all ki'uds, and every hor s e was put in requisition long prtv:ous to the day 'appointed for the review. Fortunately the weather proved favourable, and rendered the sight much more pleasing than it otherwise tvould have been. The ground chosen for the re view on r.ie 11e.tth was allsoted to the purpose, being very even and sulli.•iently A detat.liment of the 13th Light . Diagoous kept the ground. At about half-past I I o'clock, thu PHI NCH REGENT arrived at the Heath, from Hamp ton-court, where his Royal' Highness had break fasted, He • MIS apparently in excellent health, dressed in a Field-Marshal's uniform, and accom panied by the Dukes of YottE. and CUMBERLAND, the Marqui , of WoacesTEtt, and several General Officers. The PRZNCE took his station in the centre of the grown!, attended by the guard of honour. Upon his first appearance, the troops, which wcre directly in front of his Royal High- Hess, filed off, and gave the usual soirue. The whole brigade then fell back, and slowly marched., in divisions before the PRINCE, forming them- • selves into squadrous at the farther end of the field. The troops then fell into line, ranked off, and marched before his Royal Highness, single file, each regiment occupying the space of a quarter of an hour in passing. A column was then formed, the whole brigade fell into line, dis mounted, and marched on foot in troops before the PRINCE, right and left. Having again mounted, they passed his Royal Highness on full trot. — These ceremonies having been concluded, the ma neetivres commenced ; and although few in num ber, they were executed with great neatness, re gularity, and . compactness. Having marched and conntermarehed from one end of the ground to the other, a line was formed on the aft squadron of the Ist Regiment of the Guards, and the brigade wheeled round tight and lett with great adroitness. The whole body then retreated in squadrons, a nd formed six completc lines, each regiment falling in , to two lines. The Ist Regiment of Life Guards then advanced, and made an excellent charge with the utmost velocity and regularity. The Oxford .Blues, as soon as the Guards had filed otf in divi sion, also charged, and welc followed by the 2d regiment of Guards. Each regiment made a se parate charge, and subsequently filed off, retreat ing to the farther end of the field. A complete line was then formed, and the grand charge of the whole brigade succeeded. This was certainly a charge performed with much compactness, regu larity, and velocity, and proved the good order and discipline of the troops. The brigade then filed off, and fronted his Royal Highness, conclud ing with a salute. The Officers of the Ist Regiment of Life Guards, who are quartered in the barracks on Hounslow Heath, had prepared a cold collation for 300 persons. They laid out tables under marquees for the purpose,.suflicient to entertai!4 that number. Tie officets of all the different (! s iments in the field were invited, together with the Earl of Harrington,. General' Barton, and se veral other persons •of distinction, besides their private friends. To this entertainment the parties invited sat down between 4 and 5 o'clock, and -were highly gratified. An excellent military baud played during the repast. The Review commented at about half-past eleven, and terminated at about three o'clock. , vhen his Royal Highness dismounted., and set off it) his.carriage towards London. In passing he was received with the loud acclamations of the populace, and seemed in hig h spirits. His Royal Highness expressed himse lf' extremely gratified in witnessing the different evolutions of the troops, and was highly pleased at their good discipline. Neither the Duke of WELLINGTON nor the Mar quis of ANGLESEA were'present, the former being at Faris, and the latter, we b e lieve, at the Isle of Wight. It was confidently expected that a sham tight would have been exhibited, but no such thing took place : none but the ordinary manceu vres were performed. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

The deceased must have got out of bed in twr sleeping dress. It was evident she must have committed the act herself, as the chamber door was locked on the inside, and the key in it, and no person could have access to the room front the manner in which it was locket!. The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict--" Died by her own act in hanging herself, not being per fectly sane at the time."

Her screams brought the servants to her assistance ; but her inside was so much injured, that she survized but a few hours. Surgeons Saumarez and Dickson attended, but could not render any effectual assistance, the lungs being scalded so dreadfully. Last week, a man anti his wife, who Hies in Follarton-street of Irvine, having occasion to at tend divine service, very imprudently locked tip three of their" young children in the house. While the children were amusing themselves a halfpenny ran below the bed. In order to search fer it, a piece of woad was lighted and introduced under the bed. The bed immediately caught fire, and, in a short time, the house was totally cons'utned. The children were taken out by the window, and narrowly escaped destruction. SINGULAR CASE.--.AI Chesterfield Sessions, on Wednesday se'nnight, a singolay ease was brought -forward. 'the township of Crotuford had obtained an order to remove the third wife of one Joseph. Needham, and she was accordingly removed to the township of Ecclesall Bierlow as the place of her settlement. Against this order the latter township appealed, and, front the facts brought before the bench, the order was discharged. The above Joseph Needham had three living wives, who - all appeared in Court on'this occasion ; they had all slept together in one bed the evening preced ing ; and, what is more remarkable, they deelarea that they had not an angry word with each other. We may venture to say, that three women under the same circumstances, could not be found in the three kingdoms, who would spend together so in nocent an evening us passed among these fair ri !
