FOOT GUARDS.

There will shortly be a general alteration in the dress
now worn by the three regiments of Foot Guards, which
is expected to take place in October next. Instead of red,
the clothing is to be scarlet, and there is to be no lace upon
the coats as at present. The devices of the respective re-
giments are to be embroidered on the points of the collar,
and the head-dress is to be similar throughout the brigade.
A bear-skin cap with the device of the regiment in
front, viz.—The Scotch Fusileers or third regiment,
are to display the Order of St. Andrew, with a crown
at top, (by order of his Majesty), that regiment being
nearly entirely composed of Scotchtnen. The Coldstream
are to have the rose of England surmounted with a crown,
and the Grenadier Guards are to have the King's arms,
and a crown above them. Hibbert, of Pall-mall East, has
the contract.

The first division second battalion Grenadier Guards will,
on Wednesday next, march to Bristol, from whence they
will embark for Dublin to relieve the first battalion of the
Scotch Fusileer Guards, who, on their return to town, will
occupy the Portman-street barracks.
The 3d Regiment will not change their quarters till the
3d of August, and not on the Ist, which is in consequence
of the opening of the New London Bridge.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The accounts from Warsaw of the same date as last re-
ceived state, that on the sth a great number of new re-
cruits arrived there. General Chrapowski has a squadron
of Tartars in his corps d'armee. In a postscript to the
Generalissimo he states, " I learn that the enemy conducted
himself in the most cruel manner towards the Lithuanians
after the insurrection at Asymina. A regiment of Cara-
biners entered that town and dispersed the insurgents,
whose wives and children, with the old people, took re-
fuge in a church, thinking themselves sate, but the Cara-
liners massacred every person, amongst whom were 300
women." General Chrzanowski announces to the National
Government that he has re-crossed the Vistula at Colomb,
and that he had repeated encounters with the Russians,
who were greatly superior in force.
The French papers state that the report of war still
continues in the Rhenish provinces, and the preparations
making there seem to confirm it. Already the banks of
the Rhine are crowded with Austrian troops. A train of
50 pieces of cannon has passed the Vadren to proceed to
Sarrelouis. The 4th corps of the Prussians has passed the
Rhine at Mayence ; also 244 pieces of artillery.

THE FUNDS.
Consols, which rose yesterday afternoon to 82/13- for the
account, opened this morning at the same price ; at
present they are 82t, with little doing.
According to the express from Paris, it appears that the
French expedition in Africa has been defeated, with the
loss of 1200 men. The French Funds also come lower.

We have no arrivals as yet of consequence.
Consols are now 821

ISLE. OF WIGHT.—A meeting was held on
Saturday, in Newport, to prepare a requisition, calling on
Sir RICIIARD SIMFON, Bart., to offer himself for the
island, under the Reform Bill. Mr. EAMES, of Cowes,
took the chair. It was unanimously determined to sup-
port that gentleman on the principle of Reform, of which
he has been on the late county election a steady supporter

LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY. •
WELLESLEY V. BEAUFORT.
Sir E. SUGDEN stated that he had received notice, dist
a motion for the discharge of Mr. Wellesley would be
made to-day, which he was ready to oppose.
Considerable delay took place in consequence of the.
Solicitor-General not having arrived. As soon as the
Learned Counsel entered the Court, he stated that he had
not received any instructions.
Mr. Rowley (Mr. Wellesley's solicitor) stated that it
was utterly impossible for him to have been prepared by
this morning, as, besides having been exceedingly engaged
elsewhere on this business, he had not been able to see one
of the most important witnesses, who was to make all
affidavit, till one o'clock this morning.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated that he had felt a
dif-
ficulty in accepting a brief in this case.
The LORD CHANCELLOR told him he ought to have no
hesitation in accepting of a brief on the ground that he
might have to contend for a different view of the question,
being to be taken elsewhere. He instanced as a proof, that
he himself,while an active Member of the House of Commons,
had to contend against the Speaker of that House (in the
House of Lords) in the case of Burdett v. Coleman, and
Burdett v. Abbott. Also that Lord Erskine's most cele-
brated argument in the Court of King's Bench was in the
case of the King v. Stockdale, in which he stopped the
progress of the case in the very face of the Ministers, who
were present to support the trial.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL then said, with this sanction,
he should have no further scruples, but accept of a brief. ,
The case was then ordered to stand for Monday morning.
Lordship observed, however, that though the motion
was delayed, Mr. Wellesley was not to consider that his
exemption from going to the Fleet was to be continued
beyond this morning. The delaying of the motion was
entirely unconnected with Mr. W.'s longer remaining ont
of the Fleet.

[Mr. W. has hitherto been allowed to reside at his own
house, accompanied by the Sergeant-at-Arms.]

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.

PRACTICE IN MAKING MOTIONS-ABSENCE OF JUNIOR

COUNSEL.

Mr. KNIGHT, at the sitting of the Court this morning,
stated that in consequence of the unavoidable absence of
Mr. Pepys, who was engaged in the Lord Chancellor's
Court on Mr. Wellesley's case, he thought it would be
better not to proceed with the motion in Oxenden V.
Dufour, which was part heard yesterday, and, with the per- ,
mission of the Court, he would make some other motions.
This the Learned Counsel was proceeding to do, but in ,
every case he mentioned no junior Counsel were in at-
tendance.

The VICE-CHANCELLOR deprecated this neglect in
strong terms, observing that advantage had been taken
of the order which had been made for the general conve-
nience of the Bar and suitors, that Counsel should only
be called on to make two motions. Gentlemen now coming
into Court making two motions of course, and leaving, not
caring what became of those in which they were concerned
as juniors, by that means the business of the Court was com-
pletely paralyzed, and his Honour, therefore, could not
allow such a state of things to exist.
Shortly afterwards the VICE-CHANCELLOR observed that
he had been informed that no such order existed as that to
which he had referred, and he begged to inform the Bar it
was not his intention to adopt such a rule in future.
Mr. KNIGHT considered such a rule productive of great
inconvenience, as had been clearly shown:to the Court ti it
morning.

Mr. WAKEFIELD observed that the Lord Chancellor
had proposed to make such an order, but declined doing
so on being informed that it would interfere m►teriallj
with the rights of the gentlemen within the bar; he should
however, act upon that principle in his own Court, be•
lieving it would be attended with great convenience, though
he would make no order upon the subject.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR did not think the adoption of
such a rule would b.: attended with benefit in his °via
Court, and he should, therefore, not adopt such a practice.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.-(THIS DAY.)

ROXBURGH ELECTION.

The Committee appointed last night to inquire into
the merits of the petition of Sir William Francis Elliott:
Bart., against the re urn of Henry Francis Scett,
sat this morning, Lord Viscount MANDEVILLE in the chair.
Mr. HAaalsoti appeared as Counsel for the
pe-
titioner. This case, he said, was not one of ordi-
nary occurrence, but as far as the doctrine of lavf
was concerned there could not be any dispute ; it had
been solemnly decided as an uncontrovertible point of Par-
liamentary law, that the eldest son of a Scotch Peer was
ineligible to sit in the House of Commons for a Scotch
ciunty, and also that he was not qualified to ar
pear on the roll of freeholders. That doctrine could
not be disputed ; the only question would be whe-
ther this case came within that decision, and
it would be for him to contend that it did. A huly named
Anstruther, had in 1808, made a claim to the dormant
Barony of Polwarth ; her claim was referred by his Ma-
jesty to the House of Lords, and it had very considerably
progressed towards a conclusion in her favour, when she
died. The application had been since renewed by Jr.s
Scott, the father of the sitting Member, whose
return was now objected to ; Mr. Scott's claim
had been referred to the House of Lords, and had pro'
ceeded so far, as he (Mr. Harrison) understood, that all,
that remained to establish the claim was mere matter al
form ; Mr. Scott had, however, delayed to have that form
proceeded in, and he had also declined a proposal to have
the consideration of this petition adjourned until the deei'

probably, by the father and son colluding together (Ale•
Harrison observed, he did not mean any offence to either
party) or, by agreeing that the ultimate decision in the
riol
House of Lords should be delayed, that the rule o',
law would not be applicable to this case, for it
would be contended that as the father was not declared $
Peer, the son was qualified to sit in the House of Cote'
mons. The Learned Counsel, however, said, he would
contend that the situation in which the father was placed
in regard to the proceedings in the House of Lord,'
and the refusal to adjourn the case until the decision,
of the Lords, afforded inferences strongly in favour 01
this petition; besides which, the Learned Counsel
contended on the authority of various decisions, that the
son of a person claiming a Scotch Peerage was ineligible
to sit in the House. He would propose to put in the
minutes of evidence taken before the Home of Lords, i 4
the case of Lady Anstruther's claim, as a part of the case
of this petitioner, and after proving the claim of the elder
Mr. Scott, the Learned Counsel hoped for a decision ill
favour of the petitioner.
Mr. HaftelsoN then proceeded to call his witnesses.
GREAT GRIMSBY ELECTION.
The Committee were occupied the whole forenoon la
examining into disputed votes.

GLASGOW ELECTION.
The Committee appointed last night to examine into the
merits of a petition against the return of Mr. Dixon, the
sitting Member, whose election was objected to as illegal
on the ground of " treating," sat this morning.
