THE ARMY.

WoitcusTEn, OcT. 21.—Tne Worcestershire Regiment
of. Regular Militia, having finished their date of service in this
city, were inspected by Colonel Newport Charlett, on Wed-
nesday, in Pitchcroft Ham. The Lieutenant-C4Onel-, Lord
Deerhurst, having marched them by their Commanding Of-
ficer, and gone through the general salute, theer were after-
wards thrown into open column for the inspection of their
Colonel, vdto„. --Pee.e.-so-h.extootttlY to express himself 1
zesty sattsneot with their appearance, both is. :be field and
quarters, since they have been called up for the period of ser-
vice ordered by Government. We must here as peaceful in-
habitants of this city, add our testimony to that of several of
our Magistrates, to the general good conduct and denieanour
of this corps.—ln the Journal of yesterday, it was intimated
that a piece of plate would be presented by the Officer of the
Regiment to the Colonel, as a token of their respect for him.
It had been originally decided to do this by letter, and a com-
munication to this effect had been made. to Colonel Charlett
bt Major Bund, then senior officer of the regiment, in the ab-
sence of the Lieutenant-Colonel. Lord Deerhurst having,'
however,. joined his brother officers, it was finally agreed that
the salver should be presented to Colonel Charlett, viva voce,
after dinner, in presence of the officers of the regiment.—The
usual toasts to the Royal Family having been drank, the Ser-
geant-Major, flanked by two old Serjeants of the regiment, en-
tered the room, carrying the salver, when his Lordship ad-
dressed the Colonel as follows:
" COLONEL NEWPORT CHARLETT—It falls to me, as
senior officer, to perform one of the most pleasing duties I
ever yet experienced in my life, in presenting to you, on be-
half of my brother officers and myself, this Salver—a small
tribute of our esteem and respect for you. There is no occa-
sion for any lengthened speech from me ; the force of language
could convey no compliment—no sentiment, expressive our re-
gard, equal to what is contained in the. short page engraved
upon this gift—carrying to your mind a volume in reference
to the feeling by which we are unanimously animated. Long
may you live to view this emblem of our gratitude; and when,
in the ccairse of nature, it is handed to your posterity, may they
ever cherish the memory of one who, at the hands of those
most intimately acquainted with his worth, received this une-
quivocal mark of approbation in the distinguished character of
an Officer and a Gentleman."
As soon as the cheers which spontaneously followed this
address had subsided, Colonel Charlett, evidently feeling what
a soldier ought upon such an occasion, briefly replied to his
Lordship—
" I accept, with heart-felt gratitude, this token of the esteem
and regard of my brother officers. To the latest period of my
life, the reflection that I have received this mark of appro-
bation from them will be indelibly and lastingly impressed
upon my mind."
We need not add how sensibly all parties were gratified, or
how convivially the remainder of the evening was spent in one
strain of loyalty and reciprocal good understanding.
The following letter was afterwards addressed by Col. Char.
lett to the Lieut.-Col. Lord Deerhurst :
My Dear Lord, Worcester, 215th Oct. 1825.
Having, under the impression of my feelings, too shortly,
perhaps, addressed your Lordship on receiving the very hand-
some token from my brother officers, I am induced to take this
method of further conveying to you how deeply sensible I am
of the very flattering and distinguished honour in which they
have testified their approbation of my conduct. It is,-my Lord,
to the congenial spirit of harmony and co-operation with which
my brother officers have so promptly and effectually enabled me
to discharge-the 'manifold mid complicated' duties of the high
situation I have so long had the honour to fill, that the Wor-
cestershire Regular Militia has maintained that system of dis-
cipline for which it has ever been distinguished.
I may here vainly be permitted to add, that in the execution
of so important a trpst, I have at all times done my best ; and
the consciousness of my own good intentions, if I have erred,
will exonerate me from self-reproach.
With a grateful impression of the sincere affection my brother
officers have shewn towards me, and to your Lordship more par-
ticularly, I beg to subscribe myself,
Illy dear Lord,
Your ever faithful Servant,
J. N. CHARLEVT, Col. Wor. Reg.
Vis. Deerhurst, Lieut.-Col. Wor. Reg. e
The Salver, which is very chaste, and of the value of 100 gs.
bears the following inscription ;
This Salver was presented
To

Colonel J. W. Newport Charlett,
By the Officers of the
Worcestershire Regular Militia,
As a mark of the high sense they entertain
Of that Urbanity of Manners
And strict attention to Military discipline,
Which, during a series of years,
Ilas uniformly characterized his conduct
As an
Officer and a Gentleman,
Oct. 27, 1825.
The officers' mess has been regularly held at the Hop-Pole
Inn, where numerous parties of private friends have attended.
Great praise is due to Mr. ,Toigcs for the manner in which the
dinners have been served up, as likewise for the excellency of
his wines.

POLICE INTELLIGENGE.

• THE GWENNAPPE MINING COMPANY.
MaNstox-HousE.— Yesterday the Shareholders in this
Company applied in a body to the Lord Mayor, and repre-
sented.the hopeless condition of their property in terms similar
wars
to those in which they addressed Alderman Ansley on Sat.
They requested that the Lord Mayor would grant
against the Directors for obtaining their money under
pretences : at least, they hoped, that summonsesa.wouid he
served upon the Noblemen and Gentlemen' whose names
flourished in the prospectus, in order that the affairs of the Com-
pany might be fairly laid before the public. Since the appli-
cation to Alderman Ansley they had met Doctor Price, one of
the Directors, and addressed him upon the subject ; but the
-Doctor " blowed them up, and told them they might do their
best or their worst, which ever they pleased—he did not care a
straw about 'em," and he would not tell them a word about the
affairs of the Company. They also applied to the Solicitors,
who were men of high respectability ; hut those gentlemen said
that the business was brought to them in the ordinary way as
all other busines was placed in their hands, and they had no
power to act except upon the instructions given by the parties
who employed them. They then went to the house of Messrs.
Everett and Walker, who expressed their willingness to do any
thing in their power to forward a just demand; and intimated
that they were about to take Counsel's opinion upon the subject
(as we understood the shareholders) of paying off the money in
their hands, without the authority of the Directors, but the ap-
plicants were convinced, from the menacing and contemptuous
tone of the Doctor, that some manoeuvre was contemplated
with regard to the money, if a " rig" had not already actually
taken place.
The Lord Mayor—You had better, perhaps, call a meeting
of the proprietors, and examine the affairs.
A Shareholder—We have had a sufficient meeting amongst
ourselves,, and we sufficiently understand each other's senti-
ments on the subject.
A second—There are not more than thirty of us altogether,
and yet we can get no satisfaction. We have every reason to
suppose that our money has been made use of_ to buy in the
shares at a .premium in the market, or to " carry on the war"
in other Companies, in which there might be greater chance of
a successful " rig." It is upon this we ground our charge ;
we are convinced that not a farthing was intended to be ex-
pended in digging for tin or copper.
A third Shareholder said, that a Resolution had been passed,
which enabled three of the Directors to draw the money out of
the banker's hands. This was what alarmed them most, after
what they had heard in the morning.
The Loh]) MaYox declared that he could do nothing for
the applicants. He could scarcely imagine it possible that
with so slight a knowledge, or rather without any knowledge
at all, of the nature of the speculation and the parties engaged
in it, the shareholders ever could have thought of purchasing
with the view of making a bona fide investment. They could
not, indeed, have made the venture without the expectation
that a higher premium would be given than they paid, and
then the probability would be, they would have sold them and
put the ready money in their pockets, leaving the Company and
its concerns to take care of themselves. Some years ago he was
induced himself to subscribe to a bonalde undertaking (not a
wild thing of this kind) the utility of which was more mani-
fest than had been lately requisite, to induce persons to em-
bark in speculation. It was for the formation of a Canal ; the
shareholders were called upon to advance from 101. to 601. upon
each share, and when the deposit reached the latter sum
he -would gladly have given. up the whole of, the money to
be excused from advancing more; but he was obliged to con-
tinue the payments, and,the shares, which at that time appear-
ed to be considerably worse than nothing, were now worth 100
guineas each.
A Shareholder—ln all probability, in your Lordship's case,
there was a deed of settlement.
The LORD MAYOR—Certainly there was.
Shareholder—ln this case there was no deed_ whatever enter-
ed into.
The Loan MAYOR—WeII, if men will be so eager as to
advance their money without waiting, or caring, for any of
these necessary steps, I certainly cannot pity them.
After having consulted with Mr. Hobler, who expressed his
opinion that the complainants might proceed by indictment, his
Lordship said, he was decidedly of opinion that lie could not
:erfere, and the shareholders retired. .

THE GLOUCESTER-PLACE SWINDLERS.
Yesterday Mr. MARTIN, the Member for Gaiway, attended.
at 11laRYLEBONE POLICE OFFICE to give the necessary ex-
planation in regard to the favourable character he gave of the.
swindler Ireland, who had in consequence obtained possession
of Capt. Burton's house in Gloucester-place, and defrauded
various tradespeople to a great amount, as stated in our Paper
of yesterday.
After stating, that as soon as he had discovered the dishonest
proceedings of Ireland, lie took all possible steps to expose his
villainy, Mr. Martin thus proceeded :11sWhen I left Galway a
short time before the opening of the last Session of Parliament,
Ireland was living in the town of Gaiway in perfectly good
credit.
Mr. Rawarszsosta—How is that possible, when I have
plenty of proof here, that the very same man kept a little
grocer or chandler's shop in the vicinity of Whitechapel.
Perhaps you are mistaken in the man.
Mr. Martin—l cannot be mistaken. I know it is the same
person. I will give you, Sir, what I have given Mr. Marsh,
the very same character which the merchants, principal per-
sons, and trailers of Galway, would have given him. He was
worth bet Ween five and six thousand pounds, and was consi-
dered a saving, careful, penurious man, capable and willing to
pay ; and I again say, that when I gave ,him this character
considered him capable of paying any tiling he contracted to
pay, and on Marsh applying to me I stated the same.
Mr. Rawaufsosr—Well, if you know this min to be penu-
rious, did it not occur to you as something very strange that
such a man should take so expensive a house ?
Mr. Martin—l will tell you, Sir ; I asked him as follows
" Mr. Ireland, what is your motive fbr taking this house ?"
I had at the moment an impression on my mind that lie intended
to let it. When Mr. Marsh told me he was ordering the wines,
and plate, and things, which were not wanting, I then pro-
nounced him to be a villainous swindler, and thought it full time
to put a stop to his tricks, and put him out of possession,. I went
to the house and saw the housekeeper, and told her that they
had got hold of her as she looked respectable, in order to coun-
tenance their depredations. To return to the poina—Every
man in the town of Galway would have given -him the same
character as I have done. He, I heard, purchased from Sir John
Blake a quarry, which must have cost him a considerable sum
of money. There were vessels came into the port- consigned
to him, and'he seemed, as every body thought him to be, a re-
spectable man. Now, Sir,- 1 never supposed him to be a
swindler. Mr. Marsh came to me, and then I cautioned every
body against him. Indeed 1 cannot consider myself, I beg to
say, imposed upon by this man, who, to all appearance, was
twelve months since what I stated. I haye brought the letters,
and they are at your disposal.
Mr. RAW LI NSON—I have no right to break the seals, and
my only object is to apprehend him.
Mr. Martin, in reply to some observation, said, I suppose
the scoundrel swindler will fix his bail.
Mr. RAW LIN SON observed, lie was glad the Hon. Gentle-
man had come 'forward in this manner, as the publicity would
do away with any unfavourable rumour. •
Mr. Martin—Yes, Sir; I hope what has transpired this day,
will travel throughout the kingdom and to Ireland.
Mr. RawLiNsoN said, it was very strange, but he had do-
cuments in his possession shewing he , was living in London
about the time alluded to by Mr. Martin.
A Gentleman said, Ponsonby had given Ireland to him nine
months since as a reference..
Mr. Martin—Well, then, it was the opinion in Galway, that
he Vas. a saving, sdvent,.penurious man. 1,
Mr. RAW LI N SON— I have also a load of Irish duplicates
shewing that, before the time you mention, he was in extreme
poverty in Dublin, having pawned his shirts, shoes, and stock-
ings ; indeed I have proofs which go further than that.
Mr. Nanin again repeated the opinion of the men of Gal-
way as tolrelatid's character and stability.
Mr. RAW LINSON observed, the "men of Galway" must be
extremely credulous.
Mr. Martin—The moment I heard from Mr. Marsh, I pro.
flounced him to be a scoundrel and a swindler; and I will do
all I can to bring him to justice.
Mr. RAWLINSON—We are only at variance upon one point,
your original referencegot him into this house, which enabled
him to Practise all the frauds s'i7e.
Mr. Martin.—Possibly so. ate was considered, 1 again say,
a close monied man in Galway. I gave this reference, under
that impression, and regret much he should have proved him-
self to be so base a character. The Hon. Gentleman bowed,
and left the office.'
During the day, many applications of persons who had been
duped, some very extensively, were made.

A DEAR BAItGAIN.—At a sitting of the Ma-
gistrates at Brighton, last week, an information
was laid by the Officers of the Customs against
the daughter of a very respectable inhabitant,
for having a quantity of foreign velvet in her pos-
session, when the fair offender was convicted in
the penalty of 561. 15s. being triple, the value of
the goods.
