POOLE, JuNk 12.

Tilts morning the D.:•.v Loyal Volunteers,
under the-command of Col. t SI:OURT• left this place
on their return home. A titer body of men ha“
been seldom seen untir arms ; their stria and re-
gular attention to their ditty, their steadiness in
the field, and the correaness of their movements,
give them all the appearance of a veteran Regiment,
and is highly creditable to them as soldiers ;.and
the gentlemanly manners of the Officers, anti very ex_
emplary condua of the whole Cnrps,is equally honour.'
- able to them as men, and has secured them the
esteem of the inhabitants, who part from them with
retret. They were reviewed on Saturday morning
by Col. BRF.RETON, who expressed himself highly
gra,tir4ed by the soldier like appearance and high
state 61discipline which they diiolayed.

His MAjESTY and the rest of the Royal Family
are cxpefled to remove to Kew on Saturday for the
summer. . feel the greatest satisfaction in star-
ing, that .111,'; MALE:ay' is daily improving in his
het.lth.

On Tuesday Mornint died, at his house near
Brook Green, 'en, the, Hammersmith-road, Mr.
WHEELER, funnel-Iy, an Aaor at Drury-lane
Theatre, and aftersiva-rt.s, for several years, Ma-
nager of the Portsmouth Co4finy of Comedians.
He Was a very respeCiato 7.n in private life,
and a good Performer in a variety of parts,
but chiefly in comedy. From his partiality to
the charader of Sir Peter Teazle, which he per-
formed very well, he always went :by the name
of Sir Peter, among his friends. He
,quitted the
Stage for•many years, and entered into• the business
of hosiery, but having had too generous a confidence
in hisfrionis, which were very numerous, he found
that business unproduetive. For many years he had
endeavoared to pro,:iire a situation on the Lon;:lon
boards, bur without success, though several Per.
forrners of much inferior merit have been able to se_
cure a station on those board;. He has left a wi-
dow in but indifferent circumstances.
Musrc.—Mrs. DUSSEK'S Annual Cor,leert was
held last night xt WILLIS's Rooms. SALOMON led,
with his wonted skill, spirit and attention. MIA-
H VIGANONI, Madame DUiSEK, and GRASSINI,
were the vocal Performers. Softie ni4coneeption
happened in the Orchestra, chiefly arising from
GitASSIN I'S ignorance of our !envige and customs
The matter was, however, soon adjusted, and this
Farming Singer resumed her situation, to the satis-
faCtion of a num,trous audience. The Concert was
altogether excellent.

WiutEA is`composing another grand Opera for
the King's Theatre, which is expeeied to he ready
the ftr,t -week in next month, and which will wind
up a very prosperous season with great eclat.

The or-i27i;tii/ Cr?..' departed this life a short time
before the close of Drury-Lane Theatre. Another
EGur footed Agor was, however, immediately en.
gaged, with such fi ;tarit), of thst the nicest
Dramatic Critics did not discover any alteration in
the performance. Such, We find, is the general im-
provement of theatrical talent: 'in these happy
times; that it is a very easy task to procure a sub-
stii;te for the most eminent Performer!
tattletts have been started whether BONAPARTE'S
mstalsatron is a proper subjeti for burlesque and
farce. It is certainly a very disgraceful drltna. to
France, and May perhaps be found, by the Continent
in general, to be a deep tragedy.
The famoui robber, known by the name of the
Dervil, was executed at. Genoa on the 23th ult. He
died with singular. firmness. He confessed having'
killed nine men with his own hand.

A private letter from Paris, of Dine r, says—
". We are assured, by persons in the confidence of
Government, that it possesses all the letters which
passed between the 'English agents and the Bo ox-
BONS in England, with to the Duke of Ax-
GOULEIVIR and Louis XVIII. at -WailOw, and that
they are of greater importance than those lately
published between DRAKE and MEI:11.- E. " The man.
ner in which cur Government-has obtained possession
of them is yet a secret,.as-Well as the pariictilari
the Correspondenceitself ;.blit it is generally believed
that it has been obtained by means of the agents of
our, secret police."

CRIMINAL INFORMATION AGAIN‘s'; BROWN, SEEZ-Is

SHADLEY, AND BUTCHER.

Dr. Tatham, a
.Magistrate and Clergyman in
the County of Bucks, had ;received inteli:sence of
certain moun:ebanks,,who,had assembled to exhibit
their fantastic amusements in his neighbourhood..
They had also established a sort of raffle.. The Doc.
tor had signified his disapprobation of this entertain,
ment, from the sense of his duty, as a Clergyman,:
and a justice of the Peace. Mr. Brown, one or
the Defendants, a person of considerable landed pro.
perry, said to these friends of merriment, '" Do nut
mind such a fool as Dr. Tatham, but keep on, my
lads :" and he added, " that' he would turn the.
Magistrate ant his Officers off the ground." The
Clergyman resolved to perform his duty norwith.
standing this opposition, and he went, attended by
his servant and. a Constable, -into the field where
these humble followers of Thalia were playing theirpranks,
pranks, and sheaving, their agility. The D.f6tor
comManded the Constable to suppress this riot,
when the latter, in the usual form, called upon six
persons to assist him in the attempt. On this,
Mr. Brown shook his
.stick immediately before
the head of the horse. of the Magistrate, calling out
to the
,multitude, at the same instant, '' Halloo,
my boys, let's cram them into a corner, and 'then
spose them in the pond." In the sequel, the Cier_
gyman was thrown from his horse, and this lode-
cent exhibition was sufFered to proceed. The Learn-
ed Counsel then stated the share the other partict,
had borne in the confiiet, and produced the affida-
vits, by which the allegations were supported. It
appeared
,That the Constable was either biassed .or
intimidated, but from motives of hwnanity to him,
this' moiion had no application.--.-Rule to sbew causes
granted. .

. We had about four thousand Troops drawn up
• in Que.n's.square,fon HIS MA J ESTY'S Birthday.
General FI,HER ' came on the ground about one
o'clock, when sixty.six rounds were fired by the
field-piects,- and. three vollies by each of the Corps
of Infantry, followed by a general nuzza from
the whole body. The day was extremely fine,
and rendered the scene gay arid exhilarating.—
The French General BOY ER, from Sr.• Domingo,
happening to he Lyon his route towards Chelten-
ham, where he will remain upon his parole d'horrnevr,
applied fur permision tc.• be present, which General
FISHER politely granted. General BOY ER surveyed
,the speelacle with great attention, from a window
at W. GIBBONS'S, Esq. and observed to a Lady
who stood near him, " that it must indeed be highly
• gratifying to every Briton, to see the noble trite-
grity which.pervaded the whole country."
On Whit-Monday, as Mr. William Morgan, son
of Mr. Morgan, near Rhyd.y,gravel, was washing
sheep In the river Usk, he was induced to mount a
"horse, acce,rnpanied by his servant boy, for the pur-
pose of crossing the river to bring back a sheep that
had swam from the flock. They had not proceeded
far before the horse unfortunately got out of his
-1 depth, and sunk into a deep hole, out of which he
did nor rise for the space of twenty minutes ; and,
melancholy to relate, vlr. Morgan and his servant
were nut Lund till nearly three hours after the ac.
Cident, when all attempts to restore animation proved
ineffectual. Mr. M. was a very respectable young
man, and heir to a considerable property.
Last week a respectable farmer at CaStle sCareg.
• 1 cenan, in Carmarthent,hire, put an end-to his exist-
ence by hanging hiz.:;tlll in his bed-chamber, to
which he had retired under the pretence of indispo-
sition, and locked the door. On the inquest it
apy:ared that the unfortunate man had become un.
easy in his mind respeting some family cirtum_
stances, and the Jury accordingly returned a verdia
of Lunacy. •
The stable of Mr. Bradley, at Cowbridge, was on
Thursday seinnight consumed by fire, together with
a quantity of provender therein. The horses were
fortunately saved unhurt, and by the immediate
assistance of .the neighbours, the flames were pre.
vented from communicating to the dwelliqgolaouse.

SWANSEA, Juxt S.

His Majesty's Birth-day, on Monday, was tele-
brated in this town and neighbourhood with the
most ardent loyalty. The merry peals of our bells
announced the dawn of a- day so dear to Britons—
the shipping in the harbour displayed their various
flags—a numerous and genteel assemblage partook
of a public breakfast on the occasion at Grogan's
Bathing.) .use—the Eastern Regiment of Glamor-
ganshire Volunteers and the Swansea Legion Caval-
Ty, had a grand field.day on the Barrows, where the
former fired three excellent vollies and a feu.dejo;e ;
several select parties assembled at dinner, and our
beloved Sovereign's health was drank with an af.
feelinn which evinced a just appreciation of the
benefits we enjoy under his mild and equitable sway.
The joy of the however,was greatiy em-
bittered by 'an aftliaing accident which happened
during the firing on -the Butrows. It was intended
to accompany ilk: vollies of the troops by three- dis.
charges from a long nine-runder- statioz,ed on the
beach, one of which took place with considerable
ekeet after the gun had been loaded a second tinge;
and was reported ready, Captain S. Jones turned
towards the troops drawn up nearly behind him,
-that he might more-readily hear the iliord.Fire,
given, during which short interval John Grliliths,
An old gunner, unhappily proceeded to rani
down an-addi:ional quantizy of wadding, in order
to make the report iouder; while thus employed,
the vi id was gi verl,-imm'ectiarely on which, Captain
Jones, entirely 'ignorant of what Griffiths wits do-
ing, turned round and pulled the of the lock
affixed to. the gun, when, melancholy to relate, the •
unfortunate man was ill an instant Teridered'a niost

shocking speditcle; his left arm being Win offnear
. the shOulder by the rammer, and carried to the
distance of about 40 yards, his face dreadfully dis-
figurcd, alla a large wound in his left side: he sur-
vived only a fewininutes. An inqusition has since
teen taken on the body, and, after ;; minute i»ves-
tigation, the Jury returned a' verdict--Acria'ensal
,Death.. The deceased has left a widow and five
children, for Whose relief a subscription was in..
slimily commenced.
Our- Readers will doubtless recolleel the extra-
Ordinary circumstance which we mentioned a few
weeks ,since, of the death of a woman at Cadox-
tone, nem Cardiff, in child.bed, and of her mo.
ther, though upwards of 70 years old, putting to
her own breast the infant of her deceased daughter,
and/ continuing' to suckle the child. We havesince
learned, from a Gentleman of the highest respeeta.
bility in the neighbourhood,. that the infant thrives
very fast, that. the old woman's age is seven."-two, -
.end her milk as fine as that of any young woman.
Her last-child was the daughter above-mentioned,
-who died at the age of 35. One or two of the
minor London Prints having affetted .to doubt the
troth..of our former relation of this singular occur-
rence, and treated it with nu small degree of ridi-
cule, we recommend these sapient scribblers to make
a journey into Glarnorganshire, where they may
obtain ocular demonstration of a fact, which at pre_
sent appears to be above their comprehension.—
