YESTERDAY the First Brigade of Volunteers be-
longing to the Western DistriB of the Metropolis,
was reviewed by L ird HARRINGTON in Hyde Park.
General BURRARD commanded the right, and Ge_
ral LESLIE the left wing. The Corps drew up in
the following order :—The Old Sr. George's Volun-
teers, Colonel the Earl of CU FST ERSI ELD, a, the
Ist Regiment of the Brigade, accoroing to Military
etiquette, took-t
-he right; the Royal Westminster
Volunteers, Colonel ROBERTSON, as next in se-
niority, took the left of the Line; the City of
Westminster Loyal Volunteers, the Hon. Colo-
nel EDEN, being the third, took the centre of
the right wing; the Duke of Gloucester's Loyal
Volunteers, Colonel Lord CH ETWYND, the fourth,
was the centre of the left wing; and the two bat-
talions of Queen's Royal Volunteers, Colonel Lord
HoB ART, and the St. Giles's and St. George's,
Lieutenant-Colonel Sir JomiN NicHoLL, composed
the centre. After going through all the manoeuvres
that are usually performed with dumb flints, they
were divided into two demi-brigades, and advanced
with their Light Companies in front up to Buckden.
hill. They were divided into companies twice, and
changed their front each time by the eschalon move.
ment. '

he DUKE of YORK, DUKE Of CAMBRIDGE, to.
gether with several Noblemen and General Officers,
who had arrived on the. ground soon after the Re-
view commenced, as soon as the last mentioned
manoeuvre was completed, rode down to the lower
part of the Park, in company with the Earl of Mut- '
RINGIoN, his Aides-de:Camp, Lord PETE RsHAM,
and a younger son of the Reviewing General's.
They placed themselves close to the Nursery near
the Magazine, and the whole marched by them in
open order of companies. The Corps were so uni-
versally coma in their discipline, that it would
be invidious to mention any as particularly excel.
lent. Previously to their retiring, the MIKE of
Yottit expressed great satisfaktion in observing the
high state of discipline to which each of these Corps
had arrived. His Highness added, he had no doubt
but that they would be an ornamern to their Coun-
try, whenever summoned into the field of anion.
It was as delightful a day as they cotild possibly
wish, and a great number of speCtators were present.
Among the most distinguished were the Duke of
HAMILTON, Earl SPENCER, Lord GRENVIbiiE, and
Lord MURRAY, a Lieutenant in the Prince's own,
dressed in the uniformr, of the Prince's Dragoons.
The Countess of HARRINGTON, with three youtlg
ladies, was in a landaulet belonging to his Loud-
ship. The review began about ten, and was en-.
tirely over by one o'clock.

The bounty of the Royal Marines is advanced to
the recruit, from 71. 193. to zol.
Governor BEM: JON is gone passenger i n the
Fly, to Demerara.
Of the fourteen Indiamen which are to sail, the
Walthantstow and the Lord St. rincent are to touch
at the Island of Ceylon, on their voyage to Bom-
bay, and are the only. Ships of the season which are
so permitted : among the passengers on board these
two Ships are near twenty young Gentlemen, ap-
pointed on the Cis :1 Establishment 6f the Island, to
supply the void occasioned by the late dreadful
mortality, besides a far greater number of Mili-
tary Cadets.. All the Indiamen are remarkably full
of passengers, the Bengal alone has forty-two in
the cabin. In the Walthamstow, Capt.' MONEY
(her late Commander), proceeds with his family to
Bombay, where he is appointed to the very lucra-
tive situation of Member of the Marine Board, in
the room of R. ANDERSON, Esq. who is returning
to Europe.

There is,hardly any measure in the whole of Mr. I
ADDINGTON'S Administration, more grievous in
its operation than the mode of collefting the Pro-,
perry Tax, a measure so severe, that it will be pro-
duetive of lamentable inconvenience to a large ma- ,
jority of the people. By the tardiness and confusion
which have attended the arrangement of this Tax,
the assessment of a whole year is now to be col.
leaed at once. Though Mr. PlTr's Income Tax
was twice the am,unt of the Property Tax, yet it
was colle&ecl by such instalments as fell much
more easily on the People. Mr. ADDINGTON,
therefore, in his retirement from Office, will
leave additional disgust upon his name, as peo.
ple in general will find great difficulty in paying
a heavy impost, that would have been but little felt
if the Minister who formed it bad duly considered
the means of those from whom it was to be derived.
A whimsical circumstance took place last night
in the House of Commons. Sir WILLIAM PULTE.
NEY and Mr. TYRWHITT went out of the House
togethis,t, riot intending to vote, and sat on the
stairs, waiting till the division should be over.
They were, however, seen in this state by the Ser-
jeant at Arms, who conduced them back into the
House with due formality, much to the entertain-
ment of the Member; who received them with a
roar of laughter.

The Tragedy of Richard the Third was repre-
sented last night at Covent-garden Theatre, and
though it has of late been so often performed, had
a numerous audience, and went off with great ef-
feft. Cooice was very animated in the bloody
Usurper, and KEMBLE exhibited a fine contrast in
the meek, but determined dignity of Richmond.
Miss DE CAMP had a very produaive benefit
last night at Dt'ury-lane 'Theatre. The attractions
were Cinderella, The London Hermit, and The Ca-
ravan.

INCLEDON is gone for the recovery of his health
to Blackheath. It is not likely that•lte will reco_
ver so soon as was expetted.
BYRNE is engaged to assist in preparing the grand
Ballet which is to be brought forward early in the
season at Mr. COLMAN'S Theatre✓

BONAPARTE should complete the absurdity of his
conduct, by which he pretends to hold forth France
as a Commonwealth, by assuming the title of EM-
P E ROR of the French Republic.
The word Fothon, which was introduced upon a
late occasion, has given so much offence, that it will
probably be effaced from the Ministerial Vocabulary,
and, at least, will never be found again in a new
book of Peerage.
