THE ARMY.

Detachments belonging to the 89th and 54th
Regiments of Infantry marched yesterday from the Isle of
Wight for Chatham, to embark for India. Detachments' be-
longing to the 46th, 41st, and 30th Regiments of Foot, was to
march to-day from Portsmouth to Chatham, for the purpose of
embarking for Madras.

ARMY IN INDIA. •
(From the Calcutta Papers of July 1823.)
We are given to understand that a. NEW Pito-
vlNclAL BATTALION is about to be formed at Balasore for
the CIVIL ntsTlEs of the Midnapore and Cuttack Districts,
and on a large scale. The Chittagong and the Burdwan Batta-
lions may also be considered vacant, with the European Inva-
lids, and the 2d Battalion. of Native Invalids at Chunar. These
commands, which we believe must be filled by Invalid Field
Officers, now offer many comfortable and handsome retirements
to officers whose health and long services render a less active si-
tuation desirable. As they all partake of the off-reckonings
with other advantages, they must be enviable posts to officers
worn out by former service and exposure, or who hare suffered
by wounds in action. In applications for such appointments,
we apprehend the preference is uniformly given to officers of
the rank of Lieut.-Colonel; and under the arrangements in
progress, a more acceptable appointment could not, we pre-
stne, be presented to their acceptance.

THE VAGRANT ACT.

UNION-HALL.--A watchman belonging to the
St. Olave's Trust was brought before L. B. ALLEN, Esq. upon
a summons issued out on the complaint of a respectable young
man, against whom he had improperly exercised the powers
given to him by the late Act for the punishment of Vagrants.
The gentleman stated that a few evenings ago he accompanied
a young lady, to whom he was paying his addresses, to the Co-
burg Theatre, whence they went to his father's house and had
supper. •At about 12 o'clock he went to the residence of her
father in Tooley-street, and on reaching the door he kissed hei,
as was usual with him, and he supposed with every young man
under similar circumstances. He, however, met with a check
which he little expected from the defendant, who approached
him, and in a most insolent manner said, " I see what you are
about ; you are indecently exposing yourself, and I have a mind
to take you both off to the watch-house." The complainant,
indignant at so atrocious a charge made in the presence of a vir-
tuous young woman with whom hei looked forward to a connec-
tion for life, told the watchman he was a scoundrel for making
such an accusation, and defied him to put his threat into execu-
tion. The young lady was in a state of very great agitation in
consequence of the defendant's conduct, and besought the com-
plainant to have no further altercation with him. The watch-
man, whose dignity was hurt at this request, next said, " Then
I'll take you both to the watch-house." The fellow took them
accordingly, and charged them before the night constable, who,
upon hearing the charge, immediately dismissed it.
Mr. ALLEN. observed, that he had never heard of a more
bare-faced accusation • and that he was convinced the watch-
man had not the slightest grounds for complaint of any kind.
He had always made it a practice to assist watchmen in the
execution of their duty ; but when they exceeded their duty,
as was the case in the present instance, he should take care that
their punishment should be nearly as possible proportioned to
their oFfence.

The complainant said, that his object in bringing forward this
charge was to protectithe public from the injuries which must
inevitably arise from the abuse of the powers given by the
Vagrant Act. Since the occurrence had taken place he had
been informed, that up to this transaction the defendant had
conducted himself. with propriety ; and as that was the case,
and a large family was dependent upon him for support, it was
to be hoped that the Magistrate would visit him with no heavier
punishment than might be sufficient to operate a 4 a warning to
others in the same situation.
Several persons came forward to give the defendant a good
character.

111 r. ALLEN having, with his accustomed humanity, taken
these recommendations into account, sentenced the watchman
merely to a brief suspension of his situation.

TRAVELLING WITHOUT HORSE 3.

TO THE EDITOR.
Sta—On my return from Barnstaple to Lon.
don yesterday, I met on the road a newly in-
vented mechanical carriage, travelling without
horses at the same rate as the mail, and carrying
two persons, one of which propelled it in a very
easy manner. I was induced from the novelty
of the machine, and the ease with which it tra-
velled up hill, to inquire the inventor's name, and
was informed it was a foreigner, who was driving
it for a considerable wager to London. It ar-
rived at Hammersmith at five o'clock this morn-
ing, gaining the wager. It will be in London
to-morrow. A. V.

nated and decorated in a style of superior splendour on the

Charing-Cross and a considerable part of the Strand were
crowded with carriages to such an excess, that it was scarcely
possible, with all the precautions adopted, to prevent confusion.

Mr. RozuscHri.ro yesterday gave a

highly gratified the company with a zealous exertion of their r.
spective talents. A trio, by Sola, Torri, and Signora Mariani,
was mucluadmired ; so indeed were all the performances, but we
have no,room for detail. We ought not to omit, however, that
Rossini, besides his high merit as a composer, several of his
works being performed, displayed admirable skill on the flute,
uniting the powers of Drouet and Nicholson. On the whole,
the treat was of the most exquisite description, and was render-

PARIS PAPERS.

PARIS, MAY-4.—The most absurd reports are
circulated respecting a> pretended
fleet of eighteen ships,,,great and small, which
have all at once cast anchor in the port of
Janeiro. Otir naval' force at Brazil is composed
in .all ;of. five vessels, viz.—the Jean Bart, of 74
gims,,the frigate La
.Magicienne, the, corvettte
l'Eats.O, and the brigs l'lncon:tant and,Le Faune.l
It may be that the frigates La Marie-Therese and
La Piligente which were dispatched to the South
Seas to replace L',4,maxone and La Clorinde, and
the corvette La Powiona which Admiral Roussin
brought home last year—it may be, we say, that
these frigates, on their passage, have touched for
a moment at Rio Janeiro. La Thetis which goes
to China and the Indian Seas ; L'Astree which
returns to France,
and which has been replaced
at Brazil by the Jean Bart ; La Circe which
carried out M. de Gestas, and which also returns
to France, may also have appeared together for a
few days in the waters of Brazil, and thence all
this trash of a fleet that never existed. We re-
peat it ; we hare only five vessels on the coast of
Brazil, and they are not too many to protect our
trade and our countrymen, on coasts infested by
privateers and pirates, and on which internal re-
volutions threaten daily the property and the
lives of his Majesty's subjects.
Governments, moreover, know what import-
ance to attach to all these reports, which are
only Stock Exchange maoceuvres.—(Journal des
Daats.

MADRID, APRIL 30.—The Consul of Spain at
Gibraltar writes as follows .
" The United States frigate Fabius has entered this port
from Lima, in 105 days ; it brings the confirmation of the en-
tire rout of the Revolutionary army.
" General Canterac, at the head of a strong division, was
marching on Lima and Callao, where there are not more than
2,000 Insurgents. This General was only waiting to attack
them there, for some naval forces which are coming to him.
They will join a corvette of 18 guns, sent by the Viceroy, La-
serna, to eut off the enemy's retreat. This corvette has taken
an Insurgent vessel, which had on board the value of ten mil-
lions of reels (100,0001. sterling.)"
The Madrid Gasette indignantly refutes an ar.
tide of the Constitutionnel, which asserted, that
to defray the expence of the King's journey to
Toledo, it was necessary, to lay hands on all the
funds applicable to the wants of the State.—

Extracts from the Morning Papers, May 31.

Note of the Plenipotentiaries of the Netherlands
ita reply to that • transmitted by ours after the
conclusion of the late Treaty. It is chiefly a
complimentary document, but announces.a co-in-
cidence of liberal . views with those entertained
by our Government, which is highly promising
to the commercial interests of both countries.—
The Bayonne Papers only speak of an attempt
to'create scarcity in Spain, which had been de-
feated.

11 EItMAID.

The arrival of a Mermaid, by the ship Marquis
of Hastings, Capt. BARCLAY, has already excited much curio.
city, and the following affidavit has been made before the LORD
MAYOR. Report says that the creature brought over by Capt.
BARCLAY will shortly be exhibited, and that the deponent, a '
young Indian, will attend in the ro im to explain to naturalists
and others many particulars relative to this extraordinary species.
AFFIDAVIT.—Jano Macareo, late of Calcutta, in the East
Indies, maketh oath and saith, that he, this deponent, was
brought up at Manilla, one of the Philippine Islands, in the
Eastern Sea, and was educated in the Catholic religion, and lived
there until he attained the age of 19 years; and further saith
that he, this deponent, is now about 30 years of age, and that
he came to England in the month of December last, in the
Marquis of Hastings East India ship, with Captain James
Barclay, and that whilst on the passage Capt. Barclay caused
la box to be opened in his presence, in which was contained
an animal called a Mermaid ; and this deponent further with,
that about twenty years ago lie saw an animal alive at Manilla
which was called a Mermaid, and exactly resembling in all
respects the animal so brought over by the said Capt. Barclay,
and which had been taken in the Indian Seas, and was at the
time he saw it in the possession of the Governor of Manilla, et
his house there ; that it was kept in a room there, and many per.
sons were permitted to see it as a great curiosity ; and that in
consequence of its distressing cries, which were similar to these
of a child, hiding its face with its.hands, and exhibiting other
symptoms of uneasiness, the said Governor, after keeping i
.t
three days, caused it to be put in the river and restored to its
natural element. JANO MACAREO.

SONG.

" She is gone! but the last parting beam of her eye
Still trembles on Memory's sight ;
And the love-scented fragrance, that breath'd from her sigh,
Yet hangs round this spOt with delight.
ller voice still I hear—in the 'sighs of the breeze,
ller step—in the fall of the dew;
And the lays of the warblers, at eve, in the trees,
Seem to whisper her parting adieu !

" The spot shall be sacred, for Love cannot find
Another so cherish'd as this :
The spirit of Mary here lingers behind,
And charms every thought into bliss.
As the fond bird will hover around her sad nest,
When 'tis robb'd of its last cherish'd dove,
So roams every wish of the sensitive breast
Round the scenes of its earliest love."
HARRY STOE VANDYK.

PEDESTRIANISM.

The grand race twice round Doncaster Race Course took
place on Thursday. Adams took and kept the lead the first
round until they had passed the grand stand, when Haltrm,
who had driven him at a bursting rate, showed his superiority,
giving a go by ; the lead was retaken by Ashton, but could not
be maintained, and from the Leger turn to the foot of the Hill,
Halton gradually gained a-head. Ashton looked at the hill, and
then at his opponent, who was manfully striding it, but it would
not do, and he made a full stop. Halton kept going, and came
in merrily. First round, 9 min. l 6 sec.; twice round, 19 min.

FOR- THE SUN.

Mn. Enfron--,—You will oblige one who is' ac.
custotiled to have purchased Game at his table,
but whO is anxious•to have that enjoyment with-
out a breach of the laws of his country; by in-
serting the following observationi in your Paper.
A CITIML
London, England, 1824-05-31

" GAME RENDERtI) PUBLICLY SALEABLE:

" There appears little doubt, that if the Game 'Bill-passes
into a law the supply and demand of every species of garne.will
be made to correspond with the-interest of the landownernad
the intlinations of the consumer, as is the case with rabbits,
they by being openly sold are seldom stolen, and never Put-
6hased of a poacher; !Mt tii obtain gaMe under the existing
law such must be procured through the medium of a poacher,
in defiance of the law and the encouragement of vice It there-
fore appears evident, if the sale is legalized and confined tot)),
breeders and litensed killers of game, such, like rabbits, wbuld
be equally plentiful and poaching annihilated, by the induc
'merit to illicit purchases
.being done away in tbe open market,
In many parts of the country the landlOrds have liberally fixed
that their tenants shall hate the benefit of all rilz game .killed
ou their respective estates, that they do not want for the supply
of their table ; this is as it sliould be, the lanambt to have tke
pleasures of sporting on their ovin lands, and, the tenants to
hive the profit of the game their corn has fed; who then being
interested in the preservation of game, beComes the best and
cheapest game-keepers."

XVII I.

" Well, then, to cheTit in uncouth rhymes
I'll carol forth a song or roundelay
" Of Dames, whose beauty shone on other times."
Thou, happy Muse, in Bower of Bliss may stray,
But me, keen hunger calls to watch the fray,
And see if I shall taste roast beef to-day,
What fighting yet P—Then 'twete in vain to stop,
For I shall lose my dinner if I stay,
So I will quickly hie me to a shop,
And quietly devour a patient mutton chop 11.

$ The sudden transition in this stanza is extremely beau-
tiful, and the solemn warning contained in it awful, and affect-
ing to a degree.
•f The economic sentiment here expressed is aptly but deli-
cately introduced.
This proposal made to him by his Muse, does not appear
to have been at all relished by our hungry author.
The last stanza contains a line too many—this I should
humbly conceive must be much better than one too few, for as
the Spaniards say, " 1.0 qur sabre rso dana." I cannot account
for the irregularity in any other manner than by supposing that
the author, in his eagerness to escape to scenes of a more tran-
quil nature, absolutely suffered himself to be carried away by
the impetuosity of his pacific but hungry feelings.

•„. As our Coriespondent assigns the above Poem to the
age of Ei.izAßETit, why not, " if it he not ton curious to con-
sider it so," presume that it was a sportive effusion of the im-
mortal SPEW CER. We are glad to recognize a former Corre-
spondent, and hope he will again search among his antique
poetic treasures.

Wier Stuart Maxwell, of the Royal Artillery. This gallane
officer died in the prime of life, his constitution having been
early worn out in the service of his country. His remains re-

the British army, at which he had the honour to assist—the
battle of Orthes. He served several campaigns in the Penin-
sular war, commanded a brigade of artillery at the battle of
Vittoria, was a Companion of the most Honourable Military

THE ARMY.

, This morning the Ist battalion of the 3cl Re-
giment k oat Guards were assembled, under the
command of Colonel CLlTuunoc, in Ilyde Park,
' for the purpose of • having e field-day, 'and being
inspected by his Royal Highness the Duke of
Yoltx, the Connriander-in-Chief. At 9 o'clock
his Royal flightless came on the ground, accom-
panied by several General Officers, &c. The
battalion was instantly formed into line, and
minutely inspected by his Royal Highness,
who proceeded with the Staff along the front
and rear, the battalion then formed into
divisions, and marched repeatedly by his
Royal Highness ; the new military movements
were next entered on, which was performed in
fine style, and the firing was particularly steady
and regular. Among the officers present we no-
ticed the lion. Colonel TOWN/MND, Colonel Dolt-
vrt.r.c, Captain FITZCLAItENCE, &c. The com-
mand was given by Colonel CLITHEIME. His
Royal Highness looked remarkably well, and
seemed much gratified with the military disci-
pline of the men.
His 'loyal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, attended by
Major-General Sir Henry Torrens, the Adjutant-General,
and several other Officers, inspected the 31.1 Battalion of the
Grenadier Guards, yesterday morning, in Hyde Park. The
Battalion performed several manoeuvres with celerity and pre-
cision.

PonTsstotrx, JeLY 2.—The 2d, or Queen's Regiment,
under Major XVl!Hams, quartered at Haslar Barracks, were re-
viewed, on Saturday morning, by Major-General Sir JaMes

Staff, and attendants, afterwards partook of refreshments in the
mess-room of the Regiment.—The 67th Regiment will proceed
shortly front Portsmouth to Dublin, to relieve the 31st Regi-
ment, which latter Regiment will then come to England, pre-
paratory to their embarking for India about A ugust.next.

THE THEATRE.

1

HAYMARKET.—The Comedy of Every One has
his Fault, one of the earlier productions of the
late Mrs. INCHBALD, who possessed more original
genius, pointed satirical power, and unaffacted
humour, than most of our female Dramatists, was
represented at this Theatre last night, and the
characters were so well ass;gned to the respective
performers, that we may fairly question whether
it ever went off with better effect. This Comedy,
while it affords much entertainment, is also calcu-
lated to excite much sympathy. AUBOTT was
highly respectable in Mr. Irwin. Lady Ellinur
was never better supported than by Mrs.GLovr.R.
FAIMEN'S Harmony was quite in harmony with
the feelings of the auditors, and Limn was
irresistibly diverting in Soles. A crowded house.

COURT OF ICING'S BENCH, JULY 2.

THE ZING V. THE ALDERMAN AND COMMON COUNCIL.
3,IEN OF FARRINGDON
This was a rule obtained by Mr. CoorEn, calling on the
Alderman and Common Councilmen of the Ward of Farring-
don Within, to show cause why a mandamus should not issue,
directing them to hear a person named Civiall,petitioning for a
licence titer Joe's Coffee-house, Mitre-court, which he had taken
before the expiration of his predecessor's term. The Court,
when the motion was originally mnde, said they could exerci.o
no controul over the decision of the Magistrates, but they migot
direct them to hear. _ _

Mr. CooPEn now admitted that the rule must be discharged,
as the defendants had, since it was granted, done all for which
the applicants was entitled to pray; they had heard him ; and,
on hearing, rejected his petition.
Mr. HUTCHINSON pressed that the rule should he dis.
charged with costs, on the ground that the party had been
heard before he applied for the rule; but on reference to the
affidavits, it appeared that the defendants only swore that they
had twice heard the application and petition, and not that they
had heard the applicant in support of them.
The Co (JILT, therefore, discharged the rule without costs.

THE XING v. BRYANT.
This was an indicnnent for a conspiracy, tried before Mr.
Justice Butrough at the last assizes for Bristol, when the de-
fendants were found guilty. A rule having been obtained for a
new trial.

The Bonn CifiEr JuSTICE Said that he had communicated
with the Learned Judge who tried the cause, and found that he
was not satisfied with the verdict, nor with the manner in which
he hi►nself left the case to the Jury. Perhaps, therefore the
Counsel for the prosecution would hardly oppose the rule fur a
new trial.

31r. C. F. WILLIAMS admitted that after the Learned
Judge's expression respecting the charge, he could not support
the verdict ; and accordingly the rule for a new trial was made
absolute.
London, England, 1824-07-03

Now brandishid high the ai2gry weapon shone,

And poor Sir Loin, being almost dead with fear,
Yields to his fate—when in steps mighty Bone:: ,
Loudly he bellows forth " Behold me here,
" Back with thy craven heart, am 1 not near ?"
Boldly he meets the blade—Oh, wondrous deed
No marks upon his stone-like breast appear,
Man cuts and slashes with redoubled speed,
But slashes till in vain, for Bone is tough indeed !
XVII.
Fiercer and fiercer still the battle glows,
No chance is there that either part shall yield,
The blood of Beef in copious torrent flows,

And fills the dish—l mean to Nay the field:—
Well then, until the fate of one is seal'd,
Methinks 'twere not amiss to step a:4itle,
For while such rash and deadly blows are deal'd,
There is in truth much splashing on each side,
tAnd so my raiment would be amcar'd if I abide.
