The Casette of Saturday contains his Majesty's approval of the
17th or Leicestershire Regiment of Foot bearing o t itacolours and
appointments the figure of the " Royal Tiger," with the word
" Hindoostan" superscribed, as a lasting testimony of the exent-
plary'conduct of the Corps during the period of its service in India.
from the year 1804 to 1823.
This ntorning, at eight o'clock, two brigades of the Royal Ar-
tillery, with a train of field-pieces' dtc. left their little encamp-
ment on Paddington-green for Wormwood Scrub's, la order to
assist at the Grand Review of the Foot Guards.
Several persona have left Ireland to be present at the Grand Re-
view which is to take place before the Kum and Royal Dukes to-
'morrow, en Hounslow Heath.
The promotion of Col. JAM= Caarrast.r., of the Royal Marine
Corps, to the rank of Major-General. has given occasion to the fol-
lowing further appointments iu the Corps :—Major BA KTLEM A:4 to
be Pay-Captain at Woolavich ; MajorCLaersieros to be Pay-Captain
at Chatham; Major EDWARD CART/Dt Hoaisy to be Pay-Captain at
Portsmouth: Captain SA VEIL attaebed to the Portsmouth Division;
First Lieutenant Seas' to be Captain of the Chatham Division.
The 88th. or Connaught Rangers, are ordered to march from
Dublin to Newry.
remarkably hne detachment of .the Royal Artillery marched
into the Tower with muskets, on Tuesday. to relieve the Guards
during their preparation tor the ensuing Review at Wormwood
Scrubs. We are glad to remark this arrangement. as it shews

practically, that, in cases of iinergency. and when not required
for their own immediate and more important duties, the Artillery
are perfectly applicable to the services of the Line; and we are
the more induced to notice this circumstance. as it is sometimes
remarked that this species of force is not so much required du-
ring peace, forgetting altogether that many years are necessary to
form an artilleryinau • and, consequently, that it is of the utmost
importance to keep dais branch of the Army, at any rate, com-
plete, that in case of war, it may be immediately available in a
state of efficiency ; and considering the question, as it assuredly Is,
connected with State policy, the difference of expense is certainly
not a rational objection.
It is reported that the 61st Regiment, from Limerick, will,, re-
place the 42d, at listterant.
Saturday se'nnight being the Anniversarrof the Battle of Wa-
terloo, Major-General Sir Joust Et.tar, who fought sad bled in
that ever-memorable battle, mustered the troops is the garrison of
Limerick, consisting of the Itoyal Artillery, 3d Dragoon Guards,
19th and 61st, and marched thence to Newcastle, accompanied by
a vast concourse of the inhabitants, who wets much gratified with
their martial appearance.

The Liverpool Advertiser of Saturday, says.A.The
Vulture, Captain Mammas, arrived here from Puerto Cabello,
whence she sailed on the 9th of May. On the preceding day,
"official accounts were feceivafrom Bogota eiaVa.kntia, announc-
ing the entry of BOLIVAR into Callao. The garrison were put to
the sword." This intelligence, though not improbable. is very
doubtful. Callao. though blockaded by sea and land, is known
to have been relieved by one of the Spanish vessels, and the Go-
vernor, Items., is a man likely to defend the place to the last ;
which its great strength, and favourable situation, will enable him
to do as long as his stock of provisions last. Besides, the news is
placed in some degree of doubt by the route through which it is
said to have been received—viz. through Bogota and Puerto Ca
bello, from whence it was brought to Liverpool by the Vulture,
Capt. MoaTtasra, who sailed on the 9th ult. In all former in-
stances of important events in Peru, the route by Panama and
l'ortobello, has usually anticipated by several weeks intelligence
sent thrcugh the capital of Colombia. The date of the fall of
Callao is not mentioned.
ITALIAN OPEIIA.—The Opera cf Cosi fan Atte was
repeated ou Saturday night with the same cast of the parts which
attenes:d its revival. Chacta Roman, and Da Balms, supported
the Opera with admirable-spirit,
DAURY•LANII THEATREA--ICRAN played Othello on

Saturday evening to the thinnest house of the season. His per-
formance, as usual, was energetic but esare,and the soliloquy in the
third act, ending " Othello's occupation's gone !" was given with a
tenderness of expression and similitude of action, seldom, if ever
exceeded. •
HAYMARKET THEATRE —The Noah was performed
at this Theatre on Saturday, with considerable eclat, and the exer-
tions of the performers were rewarded with repeated bursts of
applause. 31cdrieleny followed; and was succeeded by the ludi-
crous farce of 'Timid Puzzle n Cv4jwer, In which baron made
Iran Deader the most (and almost the only) entertaining Dutchman
we ever met with.
'The New Church, St. Mary's, Greenwich, was con-
• seamed on Saturday last; it was numerously attended by the
Nobility and Gentry of the neighbourhood.
*One of the Morning Papers gives a letter, pretended
• to have been written. bT Probert to his wife, a short time before
bia execution. It is a clumsy fabrication which was hawked about
the streets last week, and sold /or a halfpenny.
'The improvemenrs at Hulyrood-house are beginning
to stew themselves", and when completed will render the seat of
the ancient Regality a great ornamest to the metropolis of Scotland.
Parmars, in his book on Inland Navigation, states,
" that the yearly profits produced by the Canals in Hol-
land are alMost beyond belief, being above six hundred
and twenty-five.pounds per mile, the square surface of
which mile does not exceed two acres of ground. A
share in the Ayr and Calder Navigation, in Scotland,
which cost4ool. to one of the proprietors, nets him an
income of 9001. annually."
Saturday a destructive file broke oat at Croydon,
and fourteen or fifteen houses or cottages have been
burnt down.
From the 24th of June, 1884, to the 24th of June,
1925, 10,857 vessels entered the port of Liverpool,
being an increase on ibe preceding year of 836 vesse!s.
Their tonnage was 1,223,820, and the duties received
on them, 128,6911: 9s. Bd.

CATOOLIC ASSOCIA rrox.

Saturday the Annual deral Meeting of the British
Catholic Association was held at the Crown and Anchor
Tavern, and was very respectably attended: Among
the Parliamentary friends of the Catholics present,were.
Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, Lord NUGCNT, Mr. J. SMITH.
Mr. W. SMITH, SCC.
Sir F. Burdett, on entering the room, was received with raptu-
rous applause. A similar repression of feeling took place ea Lord
Nugent's entrance. Lord Clifford was called to the Chair.
Mr. &otter, the Secretary, stated, that he had received letters
from the Duke of Norfolk, Lord Stourton, and several distinguished
Catholics, expressing their extreme regret at .not being able to
attend the meeting.
L'rd CLIFFORD. then said, the immediate object of
the Mtetin4 was tp hear the report of the last year's
proceedings. Tue object of the Association was to
convince their fellow-subjects of the reasonableness of
doing justice t► the Catholics. The means they in-
tended to use, were discussion and the public press, by
which they expected the system by which they ss ere
or:l:eased would cease to continoe. Happily- the p, c)-
tet anti were now uniting with their Catholic fellow-
subjects—a union which must lead to the attainment
of their rights—(flear,hear).
Mr. Rossrrea read the report, which dwelt on the
great support. their Yeti ion had received from dis-
tinguished members of Parli meat and other public
bodies, and the people in general; and stated, that the
Committee had distributed 89,000 copies of tracts cal-
culated to disabuse the minds of their opponents on the
subject of the tene,s held by C-tholics ; ant ricour-
• mended that all the friends of civil and religintu, litserty
should be invited to unite in a work so honour:4).e and
useful. The report concluded by recommending union
and perseverance, by which the cause of truth and pis
tice must become ttiamphant.
Mr. BLOUNT moved, and the Honourable Mr. Curroso seconded
a resolution " that the report be received and agreed to by the
meeting." The resolution was agreed to unanimously.
Mr. Qui i moved a resolution, expressive at the thanks
and gratitude of the Catholics to Sir Francis Burde.t,
which was received with long-continued cheers.
Mr. F. CANNIIM seconded the Resolution, which was passed by

Sir FRARCiR BURDETT said, that when he had tie ho•
noun of attending the Meeting, he had no expectation of
such a resolution being passed. He attended the Meeting
to show the respect he felt for the Catholics, and the
deep interest he took in a question which involved the
hest interests of Catholics And Protestants—(Cheers).—
Fortunately, religious bigotry was fast passing away ;
it was now a pretence for the monopoly of power—
(Cheers). It was his determination in every way to sup-
port the broad principle of religious liberty. It was, to
his mind, arrogant and impious for any set of men to
dictate to the consciences of others the n anner in which
they should worship the CREATOR. It was even to say
to the CREATOR himself, that he should not receive their
worship —(Chetra). Religious worship, in all the for ms
proles ed by those who maintained the great principles
of good-will to men and gratitude to GOD, must be ac-
ceptable to the Deity. But religion was only made a
pielence for depriving, those who adhered to the faith
Of their ancestors of the advantages of that Conitlution
which those ancestors had funded and pre,erved
(Cheers). The best recommendation to the good feel-
ings of their fellow-subjects must be the evidence they
gave of the estini idol' in which they held the rights
of which they were so unjustly de,•rived—( Chce-0—
It was the cause of the liberty of the whole people, mid
he trusted all would unite in its attainment, and in the
recovery of all their popul.tr rights, and place their
liberties on the firm bask of a Government by a Par-
liament freely chosen by the people—(t: heers). I-Ic was
not aware that any motive c‘ uld ever withdraw him
from the advocacy of any portion of the people, and
should always steadfastly persevere, because the ques-
tion of emancipivion was only the question of general
liberty, in which all were concerned. (The Honourable
Baronet sat down amidst immense cheers, which conti-
nued for a considerable length of time).
Mr. Rossis proposed a vote of thanks to Lord Fingal, and the
other members of the Catholic Association in Ireland, for their
strenuous exertion, in support of the great question in which they
were all concerned—{Applause). •
Mr. 'LUTON seconded the Resolution, and said the highest poise
was due to the gallant and noble Irish nation for their unwearied
perseverance for the accomplishment of their just rights, and the
establishment of the great principles of civil and religious liberty.—
The Resolution was carried with acclamation. _ _
