EAST IKfle VOLUNTEERS

Monday morning. the ted regirn.n. of Re- ' D •
India Volunteers, crt.rnanded by :1.1..j0r t -
son, nn permanent doty at klaisistonie, assero:V• .1
nn the parade, in the B wrack Yard, at seven o'clock $
with six field-pieces. in order to be reviewed by-
Brigadier-General Hay. They marched from the.
&pia at eight o'clock, arrived at Cosheath. and
the line was formed by nine, when the General
arrived, and the operations of the day commenced. .
with tour of their field-pieces on the right and two
on the left, supporting the regiment in its different
mancruvring situations, which' were very extensive.
I he Brigadier-General expressed his highest appro-
bation of the military condo& displayed on the oc-
casion. There were present, their Colonel Sir
HUGH It4,:t.tS, their Lieutenant Colonel Sir WIL-
LIAM BESS LE Y, and several other officers, and many
neighbouring gentry. It is hut justice to say, this
fine regiment does the greatest credit to the Volun-
teer Establishment ; the conduct and appearance of
both officers and men being perfeetly sollierlike, and
their discipline is highly spoken ot. Yesterday morn-
ing, on conclusion of permanent duty, the regiment
left that town un its return, to make room for anottnt
battalion of the same brigade, expected there on this
day.
Sir HUGH InoLis, Colonel of the Second Regi-
ment of Royal East India Volunteers, has contra.
dieted the report of a sicknen in that Regiment. at
Maidstone, and of the bread and meat in that town
being bad and unwholesome. The following is an
extraa from the Advertisement published by Sir
H. Imo Lis upon the occasion :
It become' an act of justice to the parties supplying Those
articles, to state, that no such Compiaiat her came to my
knowedge; and that from lily 011Oolmenatio. n Olt the quality
of the previsions, I em convinced there is no foubdatiou for it.
The Breed served oit Ulifitf His Majesty's Regulacons, is

paying the difference of price, which I understand all of the
Second Regiment have dots.

The Theatre Royal, Dublin, is undergoing ccn-
siderable alteration preparatory to next season. A
great number of persons have been employed by
order of the Patentee undee the direniun of Mr.
fits' moue, Master Carpenter of the house, by whose
exertions, and the aaive assistance of his workmen.
the alteration will be entirely completed early in
November. The lattices are to be encreaud, ors a
plan similar to that adopted at Covent garden.
They will he raised over the back boxes, where the.
middle gallery stands at present as high as
third tier of the existing lattices, and at the
rere it is intended to build a very hie:some
Corridor, to connet with chambers which are
to be appropriated for the sale of refreshments.
11e middle gallery will be raised to line parallel with
the third tier of lattices, and the one shilling gallery
will, in consequence. be raised several feet above its
present situation. •I'he seats in the pit are to be re-
moved and mahogany ones substituted for them.
The theatre is already nearly unroofed; a great
part of the outer walls are taken down, and the boxes
are stripping of their ornaments preparatory to an
entire change in their appearance. Another cieling
will be painted by Mr. Wacosie, and it is expetacil
the effect of the house on its opening will he gi aoti
beyond description.
The Manchester Agricultural Society ham #d-
judged two premiums of rive guineas each to ser-
vants, one for having lived thirty-six and another
thirty-five years in his place ; and seven guineas to
a labourer, for having brought up ten children with-
out parochial relief.
The superiority of this nation, in point of wealth.
over all others, may be attributed to the bold specu-
lations of those whose perseverance in' the road to
Fortune seldom fails to crown them with ilie glo,
rious gifts of that goddess. Her votaries are now
presented with more ample means of reaping a
Golden Harvest from the rich Lottery to be drawn
next month, than has been offered to the Public
for many years past.

is at present on a tour through England ; he will
be glad to call upon such G'•ntlemea as are making,

DUB L Y: A r; es T '24.

On Thursday an adj,nut-,,itent of the Quarter
Sessicns was held before the R r.eoaur w, at the ses-
sions-house, Green-street, when she tnllowing Pri-
soners and Traversers w-ris :wt on their trials, viz
rbara,a !far[.v, indided feloniously taking a
cart, value 51. the goods of Patrick Donne Han, ac-
quitted for want of suatient evidence.
B' diet atan, fur feloniously taking a silver
watch, the property of Geo. Pillsworth. The Prru-
secinor was in company with the Prisoner at a no-
totinus brothel in Trinity-street. On their leaving
that house, Prosecutor looked at his watch to see
what o'clock it was, and after he had gone a short
way with the Prisoner, he thought he felt as it some
• attemnt had been made at his watch, and on his
sear.-hing for it, Band it had been taken away—
the Pri,nner immeJiately can towards the watch-
house, where she got admittaace, and Prosecutor
pitrirred her, and searched her for the watch, but
could not find it in her custody—it seems she had
instantly conveyed it to one of the watchmen, from
whom it was agterwardsrecovered.—Ver,iid Guill9.
12.11 r ek and 44/e 74,11,1 y, for fe-
loniously taking one stone of Oats, acquitted for
• want of prosecution.
James Circa,,, and Wm. *Vmmont, indided for
stealing one on of bark, the property of John
Brady. The Prosecutor is a respedable tanner, and
had agreed for the purchase of several tons of bark
from a person in the county of Carlow. The bark
WAS accordingly forwarded to him by one of the
Grand Canal carriage boats, ant arrived at the
'harbour. It appeared by the evidence, that rail,-
in the morning after its arrival, one Flynn, who had
been one of the hands employed on board said boat,
hired a cart and horse to convey a quantity of this
bark to Flynn's lodgings, ne tr the Puddle, which
WAS actually done by one James Aylmer, a common
tart driver, to whom as he gave in evidence, the
stolen bark was delivered by Flynn, and the Pri-
soner Greham and Timmons. Mr. Ilrady shortly
afte- r-ceived lonic intim ition of this business ; he
proceeded to Flynn's lodging, and there found three
bags of bark, which had been PO delivered to the
cat man Almer. Greharn and Timmons were found
Gartry. but Flynn, who had been indided only as
a receiver, was Acquitted. the Court being of opi-
nion that he should have been indided as a prin-
cipal, and therefore, a aew indidment was sent up
to the Grand Jury.
Mary So .vary, for stealing six callico chair covers,
the property of Mathew grown. The Pt isoner
finding the ball door of the Pt osecutor's house open,
entered the hall, ran up stairs, laying hold of the
chair-covers, which lay together in a bundle, and
made away with them ; but Prosecutor's servant-

maid hearing tie noise of the stranger's font, and
being alarmed, immediate] pursued tile Prisoner,
in whose custody :he found the property mentioned
in the insfiament.—Verdiel Gsitb,..
.e. John Dillon, isdiaed f,r stealing two quarts of
wine, the property of John Orr. Prisoner was a
wine porter, he had been employed to assist in bot-
tling wine for the Prosecutor, and the stolen bottles
were found in his pockets by Prosecutor's Clink.—
Vets-fin Guilty.
T/,emo, CA/maim was indined for assaulting Jas.
Blanch, but acquitted for want of prosecution. lie
was also indifted far assaulting Jolto Ferris. It ap-
peared that the Traverser was a revenue officer,
that he met a car and horse, which was s iaiveying
a puncheon of whiskey to the country}, which was
the property of Fen isis employer, and Traverser in-
sisted to seize the whole, au.l deposit them in the
custom-house ; that Ferris passed by accidentally
at this time, and advised Traverser not to attempt
soy seizure, as the spirits had been duly permitted ;
'and he aCtually took the permit off the trip of the
vessel, and sheked it to Traverser, who still insisted
on a seizure ; that proses.iitor was in the an of re-
placing the permit on the vessel, when Traverser
gave him n violert How on the arm with a large
bludgeon, which disabled him for a considerable
time; and Traverser brought away the spirits, and
lodged them in the custom-house. The Court ob-
served, that the legality nr illegality of the seizure
was entirely out of the question in this case ; no
revenue officer in the execution of his duty could be
justified in an assault of this nature. The Jury
found 'traverser ziato.
James Palmer, indieled for assaulting W. Car-
, diff. Traverser is a salesmaster, and testdes in the
same street with Prisoner. On the day of the
assault Mr. Cardiff and his wife were walking on
the quay between Essexhridge and Charles-street—
on their turning off Essex-bridge, they noticed a
stranger to follow them a considerable way, who
repeatedly crossed before them, and looked at each
time at Mrs. Cardiff, with seeming much inquisitive
rudeness. Mr. Cardiff at length interrogated him
as to the cause of such conduit, to which he replied
by the most abusive language against Mr. Cardiff,
at the same time giving him a blow, and tearing
the breast of his shirt. Upon this Mr. Cardiff
thought some chastisement highly necessary, and
he knocked the stranger down. Immediately upon
this transaCtion the traverser Palmer came up, laid
hold of Cardiff, gave kim very greet abuse. and
insisted that he should give his address to Traverse?,
and his said friend, that they might have satisfac-
tion the next morning. The Prosecutor, who, it
seems, is a young m in, and but lately married, very
prudently gave Traverser a wrong address, and the
latter for some mir.utes went away, but returned
again—seized Prosecutor by the collar of his coat,
called him several abusive names, as coward, rascal,
&c.—said he had given a false address, and there-
fore he would drag the PrOseeutor to the watch-
house—which the latter replied he was satisfied to
. sothere without resistance, but requested permis-
sion first to leave bis wife (who WAS now in great
terror) with a. friend in Queen-street, a Mrs. Hyland.
Traverser consented to this, and said, he knew Mrs.
Hyland very well —On their arrival there. Tra-
verser told Mrs. Hyland that he would leave the
Prosecutor in her custody, desiring sbe should be
fottlscistuing for him in the morning following. It
arpeared that- the very next day Traverser met
Cardiff, again abused him in the public street, call-
lam e--- he. &c. - • him
