The Islington Voluntees intend, in a few days,

About six o'clock yesterday evening the Royal
York Mary.le.bone Volunteers, Colonel Lord Vie.
count DUNC4NNON, were initeCted by Majur.Ge.
neral the h...rl of BAN a VAT, assisted by Lieut... Col.
JINKINSON. The Corps was completely equipped
for marching orders, having great COATS, knapsacks,
and every other necessary that might be useful on a
march. When they marched past the General, he was
pleased to express the highest satisfaCtion of the
performance of several companies as they came up,
The Os and fith, and the light company, he eompii.
mented in the most emphatic terms. Atter the inspec.
tints the Corps had a field-day and sham.fight under
the command of their own Officers ; .but they had
dumb flints only in their pieces. In the mean time
Major. General PHIPPS inspected the Duke of
Gloucester's Loyal Volunteers, Col. Lord Viscount
CHRTWYND ; Lieut. Col. JENKINSON also assisted at
the inspection. The Corps was not only inspected as
to the state of its military equipment, bur tilso with
resped co their general performance of field exercise.
They fired by companies, and in general vollies, as
is usually the praftice. S Ilse of the companies un.
dnubtedly were, in some degree, inferior to others;
but upon the whole they were exceedingly condi.
The vollies were particularly regular, although it
may appear to be more difficult to execute such a per.
formance with regularity, on account of the length
of the line. The Countess of BAN nutty ,Viscountess
CHETWYNO, Lard GEORGi SE vsarsoa, and several
other persons of distinCtion were in the Park. As
the IViary.le.bone Corps was marching down ft ou
Bttckden.hill to the lower part of the Park, a man of
,a mean appearance, apparently intoxicated with
liquor, frequently attempted to cross between their,
ranks, and was as often repulsed. A Volunteer
stepped out, and, holding his firelock in a transverse
line, endeavoured so keep him off. The man then
• strove to wrest the piece out of the Volunteer's
hand, and received a wound in the upper part of his
cheek by the struggle. He also had the audacity
to make a blow at the Volunteer. A Serjeant's
guard was ordered to take him to Mary-le.bone
watch.house. The light company marched in open
order on each side or the Corps the remainder of their
way home, to prevent any repetition of insult on
their march,

THR LOYAL, SOUTH ...1W; REGIMEN? of Volun-
teers assembled, •to the amount of near Soo, on
Tuesday last, and marched to the Bowling.green
at Kennington, for the purpose of presenting three
Swords, valued at fitly guineas each, to their Cum_
mandant, Colonel At.coc ts the Lieutenant. Colonel,
and the Major. The Colonel testified his gratis,
tude for this mark of reaped and approbation from
lais Corps, in a neat and pertinent Speech, ex.
pressive of loyalty, and a tic termination to em.
ploy the honourable gift he had just rweived in de.
fence of his King eta Country, at whatever risk.
The whole of the Volunteers, convened on this oc-
casion, went through the ceremony in a very soldier.
like manner, and the scentaltogethet afforded much
pleastite to a very numerous train of spedaturs.

Elizabeth Williamr, a beautiful and innocent.
looking girl, not more than sixteen years old, waS
-tried on. the capital charge of breaking into the
dwelling house of Mr. Noakes, and stealing a gun.
city of wearing apparel. It was supposed she err,
tered the house by means of a key which Mrs.
Noakes had lost. She was found guilty---Death.,
There was another indictment against her ujion a
similar charge.

joba Norris, alias namely Bead', was Witted foe
stealing, in the d welling- hou ie of Mr. Charles Lloyd,
et Bilmingham, a or and stand. and a •
quantity of plice, to the value 01201. The I'ri.
sorter, from the es idence of the Witnesses, got into
the house under pretetic of being sent by a Mr.
Burton to paint some part of it, and watched his op.
portunity to get into the butter's pantry, from
whence the property was stolen. The butler was al,_
sent at the time; on his temrn he missed the proper.
ty, and from the inform ition he learned, he pursued
the Prisoner, and apprehended him at Yardley, in
company with two other thieves, and gave him in
charge of a man named Hunt. None of the property
was found on him, but he offered Hunt several pia
news to let him g saying, heswas a ruined and un,
fortunate man, and should certainly be hung. In
his defence tie caked two respettable witnesses, who
gave him a g.sod charadv. He offered nothing
in his defence. The Learned Judge, in charg-
ing the jury, observed, that chataeter wnnld
not avail him, from certain circumstances which
had come to hiCknowledge, and which he would
state to them after ;hey had delivered their verdid.,
He thought the case was strong against him. The
Jury consulted for some time, and at length found
him guilty—Death ;but recommended him to mercy.
The Learned Judge then said, as.they had come to a
proper conclvsion in the cate, he would st,te .hat
those circumstances were respeding the Prisoner.
The fad was, that lie was well known ; was tried
for a burglary in the capital, and under sentence
of death; but that he had found means to break
not of Newgate, anti Was come into the County of
Warwick ; that Mr. Kirby, the keeper of Newgate,
had offered a teward for his. antehtn,ion, and was
now in Court waiting to prefer a bill of indiament
against him. The Learoed Judge said that he was
a most artful and dangerous man, that it ssas mere.
Bible the number of persons that had Made applica—
tion to him (the Julg.') in the Prisoner's
who had written to them, acknowledging his having
been in Newgate, but said that he was induced to
leave that place on 4icount of the air nut agreeing
with his constitution ; that he had lived to, twis
years past honestly ; and stating, that he was to be
tried for breaking out of Newgate, and not for any
other crime. 'Undoubtedly, said the Learned Judge,
I shall .attend to your recommendation, but at the
same time I Must Like into consideration the eir.
cnmstances I have just now stated to you. The
Prisoner was then remanded«
