GRAND REVIEIV.

A material change has taken place in the arrange.
ments for the grand review this day on Hounslow
Heath. The 14th mid 19th LUllrtfl; are the only
force that has received positive orders for the pur•
pose. It is expected that the 10th Hus aaaa w►ll
keep the ground: although not included in the
present arrangement, they may probably fur►n part
of the brigade to be reviewed, in which case one
of the• regiments of Life Guards,.or the Royal
Horse Guards, will take that duty.
The 19th Lancers, who now occupy the barracks
at 1111U11$10,/, will give a most sumptuous public
breakfast after the review ; upwards of 500 cards
of invitation sire already issued.
The troopy are ordered to be on the ground at
ten o'clock.
It is rumoured that the Life Guards and Blues
will be reviewed on Saturday, the King not having
been able to attend the recent review of these
regiments.

Since the account of the storm of frogs which
appeared in our paper, we have received the Liver-
pool Mercury, which contains the following sensible
remarks upon the subject :
" Had the writer of the foregoing extraordinary statement
asserted that the (rugs appeared sometime AFTER the rain,
we should have had Ives difficulty in believing the story,
as similar phenomeua are too well established to admit of a
doubt. But, that perfectly formed, or half-formed, animals
should have been actually rained down, it does require a
considerable stretch of faith to believe. It is no uncommon
thing fur frogs and toads in be found olive on the flat tops of
houses, even the highest, the DAT AFTER a violent rain, in
tie tropical climates; and Mr. Pennant, in his History of
Indostan, relates that small fish are there fused in places
which were lately quite dry, about the tenth day after the
first rains, and that the inhabitants make a common
dish of them at their tables."--(Editor of the Liverpool
Heronry
In consequence of a letter from the Solicitors of
the Mint to the Mayor of Stockton, Kobert Barker,
hawker, was taken into custody at that place on
the 19th ult. on suspicion of passing counterfeit
silver. He had on him at the time (concealed) 18
base shillings, and 10 base half-crowns. On the
(lay following, as some children were playing its a
lune near the town, one of them discovered in a
ditch a quantity of silver. On its being taken to
the Mayor. and counted, there proved to be no less
than 34/. 19e. all base.
A seaman belonging to the light-house yacht,
lying in Leith [harbour. lately fell overboard jut°
the wet-dock. It is not known how long lie had
been in the water, but when taker► out he was in a
state of utter insensibility. On being taken home
the most efficient means of restoring Intimation
were put in practice, and being persevered in fur
nearly two hours and a half, the vital spark was at
length restored.'
The following fatal occurrence took place in the
neighbourhood of Lampeter. Cardiganshire, on
Wednesday evening, the 19th ult. , A dispute
having arisen between DAVID Jonas, farmer, of
Kilgwynticlia, in the parish of Llanguby, and a
tenant of his, the former repaired to the cottage of
the latter, when, after using some violent language,
the cottager gave him a blow on the head, in con.
sequence of which he died on Thursday morning.
The cottager has been committed to gaol to take
his trial at the next great Sessions.
Last morning James Bowbothons stood in the
pillory opposite Newgate, pursuant to his sentence,
for perjury. At twelve o'clock he was fixed in the
machine, in the presence of a vast concourse of
spectators. and he remained in it, apparently under
the greatest pain. for one hour. it appears that he
gave false evidence fora female named Dillon, who
was charged with a robbery, to prove an alibi ;
but the contradictions were so palpable that the
city commenced a prosecution, and he was sett-
termed to twelve months' imprisonment; afterwards
to stand in the pillory, and ultimately to be trans.
ported for seven years beyond the seas.
The Huddersfield, Robeashaw, a Hull sad Loudon trader,
got ou the Barber Saud us Tuesday, but was got off spilt
without damage.

CREWE V. oust Wee.
Mr. HART robe to support the Petition presented
by General Crewe. From the statements of the
Petition the circumstances of the case appeared to
he as follow: The late Mrs. Crewe, the wife of the
(lewd!, at the Wilt' of her death had executed
will, by which she left her property to the childreu
of her marriage by the General, and • appointed 4
Mr. Fr:muse as executor, in concurrence with
whom the General adopted a plan of education for
his children, being two girls and one buy, in coo•
formity to the will and wishes of her late wife, and
for that purpose committed the son, being now
eight years of age, and of a delicate constitution, is .
the care of a clergyman, for the purpose of tuition.
'rhe two young ladies were placed under the case
and superintendence of Miss Lloyd, a friend of ha
Tate wife's, a most respectable woman, and every
way qualified fur the important trust confided to her,
A bill had been filed to stake the children wards
of the Court of Chancery ; and Lord Crewe, the
father of the Petitioner (General Crewe). hail
vested in their names the sum of 1,000/. 3 per
cent. Consolidated Annuities, and on the 30th of
May last, had filed a short bill, the sole purpose of
which was to get the entire management of the
education of the children out of the hoods of their
father. This procieding was kept a profound secret
from Mr. Foster, the executor, General Crewe,
and front M . King and Lukyis, hie solicitors.
Upon that proceeding it was ordered by his Honour
the Master of the Rolls, to be referred to the Mds•
ter, Sir Johu Simenn, to say who was the proper
person to be guardian to the infants. Under these
circumstances, Mr. Hart said hr now applied to
have that order discharged, being firmly convinced
that it would never have been made by the Court,
had the whole of the circumstances bees. fully he.
fore it. General Crewe very naturally did nut wish
to give up all control in the education and bring.
lug up of his own children; but nothing less, it
seems, would satisfy Lord Crewe, who, with the
peremptoriness of old age (his Lordship was, lie
believed,liit the advanced age of eighty.' wo), insisted
on the entire tuauagement. He (Mr. Hart) thought
the Court ought to grant the petitioner's prayer,
for the purpose of viodicatilig its practice as tuucu
as on any other account.,
The VICE-CHANCELLOR said, that considering
the relationship of the parties, he thought it would
be hest to refer it to the Blaster, to inquire who
had maintained the infauts is. tone past, and this
proper course to be pursued or to their education
kr future.
