BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION FOn POOR
MAIMED WOMEN AT THEIR OWN HABITATIONS.—The
Anniversary Festival of this excellent Charity was celebrated
yesterday evening at the Freernasons"ravern, his Royal High-
ness the Duke of Sussex in the Chair, supported by Sir F.
Baker, Bart. Sir Richard Ilirnie, M. A. Taylor, Esq., 31. P.,
i. G. Arnold, Esq., Captain Shadwell, and other persons o
distinction. The Secretary's Report was read, and presented a
flattering account of the Institution, which has, since its com-
mencement in 1780, relieved 80,000 poor married women at
their own habitations ; and that during the past ,ear 2,000 had
received Lissismoce from the Society-

\Ve understand, by some letters from Buenos
Ayres, that the liberation of the British subjects in Paraguay
has been solely obtained through the address and perseverance
of Mr. Pantsx, our Consul at Buenos Ayres. lie is said to
be the only individual who has been able to acquire an in-
fluence over the mind of Dr. Oasparn de Prancia, the Dictator
of Paraguay ; and there is good ground to infer, from various
circumstances which have transpired, that the basis is laid of a
future beneficial intercourse with that important country, at
present (owing to the system by which it is governed) so little
known. It appears that Francis is engaged iH some discussions
with the Government of Buenos Ayres' relative to a right of
free passage to the ocean, on which he insists, although he
kept his own ports closed, and prohibited on his part, in pur-
suance of his own system, all intercourse with Buenos Ayres.
The population of Paraguay is estimated at 600,000. Nothing
had excited more astonishment at Buenos Ayres than Mr.
Parish's success in the negociation with Francia, which had
very much increased the importiune and iskiwAte of the Eng-
lish in general.

THE ARM Y. -

BRIGADE REVIEW OF THE GUARDS.

At eight o'clock this morning the 2d and 3d battalions of the
First Regiment Grenadiers, the 2d battalion of the 3d Regi-
ment, the 2d battalion of the Coldstream, with a portion of the
Ist battalion from the latter Regiment, assembled in Hyde
Park, on the right of the Serpentine River, in brigade review,
accompanied by their respective bands of music. Scarcely had
they formed themselves into line before the approach of his
Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, accompanied by his royal
brother the Duke of CAMBRIDGE and Staff, -was an-
nounced, by the bands playing martial airs. The Staff took
their station in front of the line, which extended a very
considerable distance. The word of corm-rind was given by
Major-General Woodford, belonging to the Coldstreams, who
commenced forming them into companies, then into strong
bodies of solid squares, and marshalling the battalions at slow,
quick, and double quick time ; the different movements of the
various positions were kept up without intermission for up-
wards of an hour and a half, when the whole having been gone
through, the battalions severally formed into companies, the
respective bands of music having joined in front of the Regi-
ments, preceded by the pioneers, and retired off the ground
playing many delightful tunes. His Royal Highness and
Staff proceeded through the Grosvenor-gate, escorted by a
number of General Officers, among whom we observed
Generals Phipps, Doyle, Cooke ; Colonels Townsend, Sir H.
Bouverie, Jones, &c., &c., and a concourse of spectators, who
not only joined in his Royal Highness's suite, but followed the
different battalions to their quarters.

A Grand Review of the whole brigade of Guards, consisting
of the five battalions, will take place on Monday next at
Wormwood Scrubs. On that occasion the Oxford Blues and
Artillery troops will be present, preparatory to which a field-
day is announced for Friday next on that spot, when the Duke
of York and a numerous Staff is expected to be in attendance.
GRAND CAVALRY REVIEW.—His Royal Highness the
Commander-in-Chief, it is understood, will review the under-
mentioned Regiments, in three brigades, on the 28th instant,
on Hounslow Heath, viz.—Brigade of Household Cavalry :
Ist and 2d Life Guards, and Royal Horse Guards.—Brigade of
Dragoons: Ist and 2d Dragoon Guards, and 2d Dragoons.—
Light Cavalry : 7"th Hussars and 12th Lancers, Royal Horse
' Artillery, three troops.--The Bth Hussars will keep the
ground.
After the review of the Regular Troops has taken place, it is
the intention of his Royal Highness the Duke of York to re-
view on Wimbledon Common the Light Horse Volunteers, the
Surrey. Yeomanry, Hon. Artillery Company, and East India
Volunteers. They will consist of about 1400 men, viz.—Surrey
Yeomanry, 300; Light Horse, 200; Artillery Company, 200 ;
East India Volunteers, 700.
On the assembling f the 2d Somerset Militia (upwards of
600 men) at Wells, on the Ist inst., only one man was. missing !

. FRACAL—Yesterday, at Marlborough-street
Police Office, Lord llA►rnonouGll and a Mr. BAILEY were
charged by a watchman with having violently assaulted him at
Stevens's Hotel, Bond-sheet, the former striking. him several
times with a poker, and the latter with his fist, so as to wound
him most severely. The watchman said that the Gentlemen
were very noisy in the street, and that on pursuing them to the
Hotel, he was assailed in the manner described. On the other
hand, a Gentleman, who was looking out of the window at the
time, deposed that no noise had been made; and the defendants
and the principal waiter of the hotel proved that due satisfac-
tion was afforded to the watchmen, in regard to the Gentlemen,
who were willing to come forward to answer any charge, to
which however no attention was paid; and that it was only in
resistance of the attacks made upon them by the watchmen,
who outrageously rushed into the Coffee Room upon them, that
the alleged assault was committed. Lord Harborougli added,
that the csmplainant merely wanted to obtain a valuable com-
promise of the matter, but he should disappoint him. The
Magistrate said that he had nothing more to do in the business
than to call upon the defendants to find bail to answer the
charge at the Sessions ; which was accordingly done.

DISTURBANCE AT BRISTOL.--011 Wednesday
and Friday two troops of the Bth Hussars marched into Bristol.
As soon as the first detachment arrived, the Town Crier was
sent round to give the publicans notice that they were not to
trust them above one day's pay. In the evening a serious affray
took place between them and some of the inhabitants, at the
Cross Keys Inn. The soldiers made free 'with their swords ;
several persons were wounded ; two of the troop where come
mitted to the watchhouse ; in the morning their Officers or-
tiered them to make compensation to the persons they had in-
jured ; and, by way of punishment, made them march to An-
dover on foot.

PKESBYTERY OF PAISLEY.—The Presbytery of
Paisley met on \Vednesday last, Dr. Gilchrist, Moderator. The
Very Reverend Principal Baird and the Reverend Mr. Grant,
of Leith, as a deputation from the Presbytery of Edinburgh,
laid before the Presbytery several papers connected with the
presentation of Dr. Gilchrist, to the first charge of Canon-
gate, Edinburgh. It was unanimously resolved to consider
said papers at a meeting of Presbytery on the first Wednes-
day ofJuly ; and in the mean time, Mr. Steel of Greenock was
appointed to preach in the east church there on the Sabbath first,
and to give edictal citation of the above resolution to the Kirk
Session, heritors, parishioners, and ull concerned in the east
parish of Greenock. There was no other business of public in-
terest before the Presbytery.—( Edinburgh Courant.)
AFPUEUENSION OF A GANG Os' FOLLGERS.—llitherto,
front prudential reasons, we have abstained from alluding to a
forgery on the 20s. note of Messrs. Hunter and Co. that ap-
peared about two weeks ago, under the conviction that
the most active means would be pursued for its sup-
pression, and in that anticipation we have not been
disappoined. Last week a person from Ireland was de
tected uttering some of the forged notes in the neighbourhood
of the village of Straiton ; and on Friday Lot such information
reached the Sheriff Substitute as induced him, with a prompti-
tude highly to be commended, to send the chief constable
and a well selected party to Belthet, who through the
spirited personal assistance of the Sovereign of that city, by
whom they were headed, succeeded, about 5 o'clock on Tuesday
morning, in securing two prominent operators, in the very act
of making the notes, and having above a hundred before
them in various stages of preparation. This, if not the only
instance, ix one of the few we have had to record of detection of
those apparently the most guilty in this mischievous trade; and
it gives us pleasure to understand this fortunate result has
being attained through the active, intelligent, and vigorous
interposition of the public functionaries in both kingdoms.—
For a time at least it must restrain the practice of a gang in
the north of Ireland, who have long been in the habit of follow-
ing this guilty business.—( Ayr Adverti4cr. )
On lkionday last, a young woman having been
taxed with infidelity to her husband, was so exasperated, that
she immediately left her work, and committed suicide, by
throwing herself into the river, near Messrs. Pickford and Poul-
son's Mill, at Stoke-upon-Trent, where he was found by George
Joynson, the postboy, who was delivering letters; and seeing
a bonnet on the river bunk, procured assistance, when the body
was drugged out, and taken to a neighbouring house. Medical
aid was immediately produced, and the usual means for resto-
ration resorted to but without effect—the vital spark had fled.
(Pottery tl fercury.)
A Reverend Dean, who was very economical
of his wine, descanting one day on the extraor-
dinary performance of a blind man, remarked
that the poor fellow could see no more than
" that bottle."—" No wonder at that, Sir," re-
plied a Aiinor Canon, 44 for we have seen no
more than that bottle all the afternoon."

Dr. IbricucLivrE, who tiled Bishop of Peter-
borough, had much ready wit, and was extreme-
ly apt at checking those who were fond of cavil-
ling at the meaning of different texts of Scrip-
ture. On being asked one day what was to be
understood by the expression, "lie clothed him-
self with curses as with a raiment,"—" the clear-
est thing in the world," replied the Doctor,
" the man had a habit of swearing."
