lowing authentic intelligence:--

13th June, on his march to Seville.

THE TH EATRES.

KING'S THEATRE.—The new Opera of Ric-
iardo was to have been performed at this Theatre
on Saturday last, but on account of Madame
CAMPORESE'S indisposition La Donna del Lago
was substituted. This Opera. we have already
amply noticed, and we may add that its beauties
are not likely to flag by repetition. The new
Ballet of. Alphonse et Leonore was repeated, and
much applauded.
IlAymAtiKEt.—Miss S. BOOTH on Saturday
displayed all het vivacity and humour in the
Farce of The Romp. Her Priscilla Tomboy was
full as effective as even iu the hands of Mrs.
JORDAN. The Comedy of The Hypocrite fol-
lowed : it is a dull Play altogether; but the
merit of TERRY'S Caniwell, and ',mores ad-
mirable Matercorm, excited a strong interest, and
the Comedy• altogether was supported in a man-
ner suitable; to a, London stage.—There was a
numerous audience.

WILLIAM COMaE, Eso.—The remains of this
Gentleman were interred yesterday, in the
Church-yard of St. George's in the Borough, the
Parish in which the departed Gentleman resided.
Seldom has descended to the grave an individual
in whom were combined more natural powers,
and more varied and extensive acquisitions. Ills
multifarious works, if they could be ascertained,
would afford abundant proof of his extraordinary
talents and attainments. We have, in former
notices respecting this Gentleman, mentioned se-
veral productions, of which he was the author
and many more will probably still exist in anony-
mous reputation. He wrote for Mr. ACK ERN A N
his ever-ready friend, The History of Westminster
Abbey, two vols. 4to, with beautiful graphic il-
lustrations : The History of Oxford and Cam-
bridge Universities also came from his scientific
and classical pen, for the same libervi purchaser,
with similar illustrations. The Microcosm of
London was another of his productions, and also
Historical Records of several Public Schools,
among which were Westminster, St. Paul's,
Charterhouse, Merchant Taylors', Rugby, and
Christ's Hospital ; a History qf Madeira. There
were also many elfusious of wit, taste, and
humour in the epistolary and other forms which
appeared in Mr. ACK ERM A NN'S REPOSITORY OF
ARTS under the signatures of Amelia, l'ise Mo-
dern Spectator, and The Female Taller, from
which a very interesting and valuable selection
Tight he made, as they were invariably written
in support of the interests of virtue and the in-
culcation of moral dispositions. The first which he
privately acknowledged to be his production,
and perhaps the very first of his printed works,
is entitled The Philosopher, and was pub-
lished at Bristol in the year 1775. It
holds forth a promise of that penetration into
human life, and vigorous power of describing it,
which have since characterized all his various and
numberless productions.—Mr. Cost BE also wrote
the History of the Thames, for the BO YDELLS,
which they published with beautiful Prints, from
Drawings by the late Mr. FARINGTON. The
work was much admired for his taste, as well as
for its descriptive accuracy and elegance.

The annual Pink Sho-w was held at Gosport,
Hants, on Saturday, the 21st instant, when the prizes was ad-
jdged as follows, viz.:-,--Henry Cantelo, Newport, Isle of
Nigh, first prize; Francis Lock, Newport, ditto, second prize;
William Webb, Newport, ditto, third prize.
MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—'Phis morning these Ses-
sions commenced at Hicks's Hall, Clerkenwell, before FRAN-
CIS CONST, Esq., the. Chairman, and several of the County
Magistrates. On the Jury being called, a Gentleman stated
he held a situation in the Excise, nor could the business pro-
ceed without him, it requiring his particular attention, that he
therefore considered a sufficient exemption. The CHAIRMAN
replied, his situation in the Excise would not exempt him ;
but as there was a sufficient number of Gentlemen without him,
his attendance could be dispensed with. The Grand and Petty
Juries were then sworn, after which the Court proceeded to the
trial of traverses and other misdemeanors out upon bail. The
calendar is not very full, and there is every probability the Ses-
sions will terminate in a few days.
DREADFUL FIRE.—A fire broke out this morn.
ing about two o'clock, in Ratcliff-Highway. At that hour the
watchman was proceeding his rounds, when his attention was
arrested by great volumes of smoke proceeding from the house
of Mr. Busher, a butcher, near Cannon-street. He instantly
gave the alarm, and shortly after the inmates rushed out in the
greatest terror, and almost in a state of nudity ; the houses
adjoining
.were instantly burst open, when a grocer's adjoining,
and likewise Mr. Ganny, an undertaker, were found enveloped
in flames—the destroying element having gained such an ascend-
ancy, in a very short time. Engines shortly arrived ; but so
rapid was the fire, and although a plentiful supply of water was
obtained, the three houses before mentioned were in a short
time reduced to a heap of ruins, as likewise another one adjoin-
ing, occupied by Mr. Finch, a baker; these, we lament to
state, were totally consumed, with the furniture and appendages
—the fire being so rapid as to render it impossible to save a
single article. What also increases the calamity is, that none
of the persons occupying the houses were insured except the
grocer's. At half-past 4 o'clock the flames were subdued, with-
out
the loss of any...lives.
RIOT AT IVIAGHERA.—The precise number of
killed and wounded is still doubtful, and we have
not yet received any account of the Inquests.—
Some arrests have taken place : one prisoner is
said to be the son of a Clergyman ; but of this
we have great doubts. A person who passed
through Maghera on Sunday, says it presented a
most ruinous and dilapidated appearance; in
many places the entire windows have been corn.
pletel7 destroyed.--(Dublin Paper.)

DEPARTUREL—The Earl and Countess Spencer, for their
seat at Wimbledon ; Lord Althorp, for Northamptonshire ; the
Earl of Lonsdale, for Paris ; Mrs. General Fraser and family,

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

GREAT PEDESTRIAN UNDERTAKING.

Mark Hawkins, a Lancashire man, started at twelve o'clock
on Friday night, at Tyburn turnpike, to beat the performance
of the celebrated Powell, who went on foot to York, and back
to Shoreditch church, 394 miles, in 1792, in five days and thir-
teen hours. This Pedestrian is matched by some Lancashire
people for two hundred sovereigns to do four hundred miles in
five days and twelve hours, excelling * performance of
Powell six, miles in distance in an hassei less-time. The
ground chosen is to the two hundred mile atone near Corwen,
in Merionethshire, and back, which is about seventy-three
miles a day. 'rho Pedestrian is backed at oven to win. He
performed the first twenty-six miles without stopping in five
hours, and he was at Wheatley-bridge (forty-eight miles) at
half-past nine o'clock. Here he halted-, and refreshed, and did
seventy-six miles at eight o'clock in the evening, fresh and
well, and proposed starting again at twelve o'clock, on his se-
cond day's journey. His lounge is about five miles an hour,
with an occasional start at the late of from seven to eight miles
an hour for a short distance. Ile is accompanied by one per..
son only, on horseback.

GENERA II ORDER.

Horse-Guards, June 18, 1823.

Iris Majesty has been pleased to approve of the disconti-
nuance of breeches; leggings, and shoes, as part of the clothing
of the infantry soldier, and -of blue gray cloth trowsers, and
half-boots, being stilistitutetL '

Patterns of the' articles intended to be adopted hare beta
t
prepared, sealed, and deposited et the proper office, in Spring_
gardens, and all supplies 'on account of clothing for the ensuing
period are to be made in strict conformity thereto.

In order to indemnify the Colonels for the additional expence
they will in consequence incur, the waistcoat hitherto provided
with the clothing, will, from the 15th of December next, be
considered as an article of necessaries to be furnished by the
soldier, who, being relieved from the cost of the long and short
gaiter, is also from the stoppage hitherto made in aid of the
extra expense of the trowsers, (in all cases where such have been
allowed to be furnished as part of the clothing of regiments),
and being, moreover, supplied with articles of .a description
calculated to last longer than the breeches and shoes now issued,
cannot fail to be benefitted by the above arrangement.
The waistcoats are-to be made up on all occasions in strict
conformity to the approved pattern.
The non-commissioned officers, drummers, and privates of
the infantry regiments, both at borne anti abroad, are at all
times to be in possession of a pair of white linen trowsers (con.
formable to a pattern which has been sealed and deposited at
the clothing (Atm), to be worn on all occasions of dress parade,
instead of a second pair of cloth trowsers, with which they have
hitherto been required to furnish themselves.
The dark gray trowners which were formerly supplied at the
option of the Colonels are entirely abolished.
The 60th, and all rifle regiments, will continue to wear green
trowsers, as at present established. Regiments in the Arent
Indies will continue the use of blue serge.
With the view of placing the regiments serving in the West
Indies, whose serge trowsers are inferior in value to the cloth
trowsers of the rest of the infantry, on an equal footing with
them, three pair of cotton socks for the sergeants, and two pair
for the other ranks, will be furnished by the Colonel, and in
future form part of the soldier's annual equipment.
It will be perceived that the above regulations are not in-
tended to apply to the Highland regiments, or to the Royal
Staff Corps, which will continue ou their present footing.
By command ofhis Royal Highness the Commander in Chief.
HENRY TORRENS, Adjutant-General.
