(Signed) " H. CALVERT." LRP.DS YECMANRY CAVALRY.—On Monday last, Major Lord GRANTHAM, of the Northern Regi suent of West Riding Yeomanry Cavalry, attended (accompanied by Captain Naylor, of the King's bragootiGuards, Captain William Beckett, Lieut. Leonard Lee, and Cornet Richard Brooke, all of whom will- hold commissions in the Leeds Yeo manry Cavalry)" at the Coloured Cloth Hall here, for the .purpOse of inspecting the two troops of eomanry Cavalry now nearly completed in Leeds after his Lordship had attentively observed their Thanceuvres, and performance of the sword exer cise, he addressed them in an elegant and appro priate speech, of some length, to the following effect :—His Lordship began by stating, that he could not in adequate terms express the satisfac tion be felt, occasioned by his observation of their correctness in their evolutions, and highly creidi table appearance—he could not have conceived it possible for any body of men, within so short a period, to have obtained that proficiency in their exercise and movements whith he had with Mo. nishitient and p'easure witnessed that afternoon. it reflected' upon them and those under whole directions they had made such rapid progress, the greatest credit, and led him confidently to antici pate that they would prove a most .efficient squa dron of Yeomanry Cavalry, and he could assure them they would be attached to, and form part of, as gallant and creditable a regiment as any in the country. His Lordship added, that his Royal Highness the Prince Regent had been pleased to accept their ser%ices, and to express his approba tion of their bring attached to the Northern Re piment of West Riding Yeomanry Cavalry. His Lordship then proceeded to enumerate some of the nrivilet:es and exemptions to which effective members would be entitled, and to state what duty was required by Act of Parliament to make them effective members, and concluded by expressing his conviction that they would he an honour and security to the town, and when completed, and the few vacancies filled up (which was likely im mediately to take place), he would, with the greatest pleasure, visit thew again.—(Lee's In telligencer, Sept. 22.) TIM THEATRE. COVENT-GARDEN.—MISS BRUNTON' assumed the part of Rosalind again last night at this Theatre. She - seems to have been guided in her study by good sense and a natural archness, and if she did not rise - to the height of this very arduous cha racter, she, however, supported it throughout with effective spirit, and in a very agreeable and intere:ting manner. [Jet' chief fault is a kind of drawling Or provincial Utterance, but practice will, we hope, soon sUbdue it, nor should we no tice it unleis from good will. that she - may endea vour, as speedily as possible; to prevent it from settling into habit. From the manner in which she gave all the tender and pathetic passage:, we have no doubt that she will beco'tue a very great favourite in the plaintive province of the drama,. and we *null recommend Juliet as a character peculiarly fitted to her powers. There was a most riotous tendency among the Gods last night, in the Scene where she introduce: the " Cuckoo Song," but they " governed their roaring throats" when she began . , and she was encored so was Duaoszt in " 'Under the Green Wood Tree." Orlando as before admirably sustain ed by C. KEMBLE, and You also was equally im pressive in Jaques. 1 ERRY was more at home in Adam, and presented an affecting portrait of aged fif!eliiy, bill still we can see no reason why MURRAY, Who was truly excellent in the charac ter, and was always highly applauded, should be divested of it, and discarded from the theatre'---- , The House was full, and except for the hurty-burly among the Celestials for a short period, the Play excited great attention and applause. ASTLEY'S THEATRE.—We are by no means in the habit of noticing any Theatres hut those of the regular Drama. The mrrit, however, in point of striking effect, of The Blood red Knight, ces us to deviate from our pra , tice. It k, indeed, a grand and impressive spectacle, which compt izes an in.eresting story, and the Manager eeius to have spared no expence to give it due effect. Miss CAREW, a very promising young actress and vocal performer, is amona the dismis,, , ils from Covent Garden Theatre. This is extraordi miry, as she was an admirable substitute for Miss STFettews in case of illness, as well as a very useful auxiliary. But Mr. WELSH, her inusic,il tutor, who regulated the choeusses, anti who is hi6biy esteemLd as , a ruu.iria, •ilso discarded. REGI:I OF FA3IIION. FASHIONABLE CHANGES.

LADY MORGAN.—After ti e critique on the late work of this Lady in The Quarterly Review, it might be imagined that none Wou.ti be hardy enough to come fort% ard in her defence. The Chronicle, however, which is alwayS ready to ven ture on a desperate stake, has even the hardihood to attack The Quarterly Review itself. It is contest between a Pigmy and a Giant. But Lady MORGAN must not deceive herself into a hope that admiration of her work is the cause of her de fence. No—it is her abuse of poor Old Englaud, her praise of French Regicides, and her attempts to ridicule and degrade the House of BouneoN, which rendrr her lovely in the eyes of Party Writers. It might he th,mght that any heart, which ever felt emotions of a generous and gal lant nature, would revolt from a vindication of Lady MORGAN'S Work, if it were only for its at tack on the Duchess D'ANootmetan, one of the most amiable and heroic characters that any time has produced, and who will be for ever recorded in History for her virtues and noble actions, as welt as for her mi3forttmes. aibecdbte of the late Duchess ofDevossniae.—A milliner having occasion to send home some va luable atticles of dress to the late accomplished Dtictress tip DEVONSHIRE, gave positive instruc tions to the yot►og person by whom they were sent, on no account tts leave them without payment. The young person having remained some rime, the Duchess enquired (speaking in Italian) '' whe ther that troublesome person bad left the house." The poor girl (who had seen far better days, and was herself highly accomplished) re plied in Italian the most perfect, " That till then she had never severely felt the alteration of her circumstances and situation in life." The Duchess, on hearing her reply, with that feeling for which she was remark able, hurried down stairs, embraced the lovely girl, who was not only highly accomplished, but also beautiful ; enquired who she was, whence she came, &c: and on ascertaining that she %vas the daughter of a poor Clergyman deceased, who had left a widow with many children, the Duchess took her to her room ; made her dress in her own clothes ; had her to an evenhig party of the first Nobility ; and procured from the I)'ike of Yotuc, who is ever ready to perform an act of charity, a Conuhission for her brother.—(Hull[ Paper.)

BEGGANS.---A day seerns scarcely to pass with out a new augmentation of our street beggars. A gentleman had, a day or two ago, the curiosity to reckon the number ot applications tor alms that were made to him from liaggot-street tO Dorset street, and they amounted.to no less than 87. Besides these, his attention was engaged by num berless groups who blocked up shop doors, and several detached petitioners who were blisily en gaged in harassing other passengers.

Poor-Patti. —The inhabitants of Camtten Town, Somers Town, Pancras and the vicinity,. were surprized last week on finding that the pas-, 'cage which led from Southampton Row to the New Road was closed against foot passengers.— This bas been a loot passage from time immemo rial, though shut against carriages. It should be ObSerired that, by way of compensation to the - public; é lateral foot-path has been made, but it passes by a fetid and offensive ditch. it may be said that there is a direct foot-path from South ampton Row to the Road ; but the principle of the exclusion is the object of consideration; and it may be asked what tight any man possesses to close a path which has been so long open to•tire public as to be thought to constitute a public tight. The ground, it is Understood, belong's to the Duke of BEDFORD, riid as he is one of the greatest sticklers for popular rights, it is some what strange that lie should assent to the mea sure. It is to be hoped that some public spirited person like the Gentleman at Wanstead, or, in fUrtber times, Cie honest Rustic'at Richmond. will enquire into this ktatter, anti ascertain whether people are excluded from . a public path upon legal grourils.
