GRAND REVIEWS.-The arrangements for the
intended review of the three regiments of Horse
Guards, and the four regiments of Light Cavalry,
which it was anticipated would take place on
Hounslow Heath to-day, have undergone some
alterations. Instead of the whole of the regi-
ments being reviewed on one day, three of them,
the 10th Hussars, and the 16th and 19th Lan-
cers, will be reviewed this day ; and the remain-
ing regiments, the Ist and (2d Life Guards, the
Royal Blues, and the 19-th Cavalry, will be re-
viewed to-morrow. These splendid spectacles,
it is expected, will take place in the presence of
his MAJESTY, and of a numerous field of Officers
of the highest distinction. The whole of the
regiments have had grand field-days preparatory
to their review, and on those occasions excited
the warmest approbation of their Officers. The
men are highly elated at the opportunity which
they expect will be afforded them of signalizing
themselves in the presence of their SOVEREIGN.
DUEL.—A duel was fought on Wednesday
morning early, in a meadow, four miles from
Farnham, between a Mr. a Gentle-
man of fortune, in Hampshire, and Mr. R—T—D,
an Half-pay Officer. .The dispute originated at
a Race-ball, and this was the first of their meet-
ing. Mr. E. was wounded past recovery, on the
right side, and the ball could not be extracted ;
but he was alive yesterday morning. A family
dispute was the first cause of disagreement.
Colts-EXCHANGE, AUG. 4.—ln consequence
of the unsettled state of the weather, higher
prices were asked for Wheat this morning, and
an advance of c2s. per quarter was obtained for
superfine samples, and all other descriptions sold
more freely at Wednesday's prices ; Oats fully
support Monday's prices, although the arrivals
have been considerable this week ; in Beans,
Peas, and other articles, there is no alteration.
SMITHFIELD MARKET, AUG. 4.—There was
but a small supply of Beef at Market this morn-
ing, but in Sheep and Lamb the supply was good;
Mutton and Lamb of best quality obtained last
Market-day's prices, but the inferior sorts were
rather lower ; Veal anti Pork also the same in
price as on Monday. No alteration in the prices
of flay, Straw, and Clover.

SHEEP Or IMPROVED BREEDS.-We understand
that the Rev. W. CORNFOR.TII, Rector of Long
Stanton, has been at considerable trouble and
risque in bringing up from the county of Dur-
ham four lambs of the two most approved breeds
of that famous county—a male and female im-
proved Tees-Water, and a male and- female of
Air. CULLY'S improvement. We sincerely hope
the Gentleman may succeed in his endeavours to
improve the breeds of this county.—(Cambridge
Chronicle.)

SUICIDE.-On Wednesday, about two o'clock,
a young woman threw herself into the Regent's
Canal, at that part which crosses Kingsland-road ;
she had tied her fore-fingers together with a
piece of black ribbon, which prevented her
using any means to extricate herself. A
labouring man, who was passing at the time,
jumped into the water, he dived without suc-
cess ; they then fetched the drags, when she was
taken out quite dead, after having been in the
water upwards of 20 minutes.—The body was
taken to the King's-head public-house for a Co-
roner's Inquest.
