REVIEW OF THE SEVENTEENTH REGIMENT.

-,

Wednesday the 17th, or Leicestershire Regiment, was reviewed
on Burntsheld Lin►s, near Edinburgh, by Major-General the
Honourable Sir It. W. O'CALLAGHAN. Commander of the Forces
in Scotland. The Regiment, under the command of Colonel Mac-
LAM, arrived on the ground about eleven o'clock, and a little
before twelve the General and his Staff rode round the left Bank
to the front of the Battalion, which instantly presented arms, and
afterwards marched past in review order. A number of move-
ments, all of them executed in double time, followed. It was
impossible not to admire the accuracy of the deployments, and the
rapidity with which the Battalion repeatedly changed_ its front.
One movement, in particular, had a most imposing effect. The
Battalion, after advancing in echellon of grand divisions, suddenly
threw itself into three solid squares, the two front ranks kneeling
as if preparing to receive cavalry, while the others instantly com-
menced a hot fire, which terminated with a volley from the kneel-
ing men. The accuracy with which the different companies preserved
their dressing, under every circumstance of marching, the close.
ness of the firing, and the familiar manner in vetich the men
handled their muskets, were strikingly indicative of the high state
of discipline which the Regiment had attained, and must bare
been highly gratifying to Colonel MACLAINC. The Officers wore
their full dress uniform, which is remarkably splendid ; and the
men, particularly the grenadier company, had that clean and
soldier•like appearance, which is only to be acquired by strict dis-
cipline and orderly Waits. On leaving the ground, the Battalion
advanced, as if in pursuit of a retreating enemy, as far at the
Meadow Walk, the light company skirmishing in front. The Com-
mander of the Forces and his Staff rode into Edinburgh, with Co-
' lone! itlactatxr, Major DZiPARD, &c. at the head of the Repi-
ment. A number of spectators were on the ground, but the chill-
ness of the day prevented many Ladies from making their appear-
ance. Colonel FI72CIARINCS was present, in plain clothes, mounted
on a beautiful Arabian charger. Colonel Haien, Major Setae,
92d Regiment, commanding the Depot, and several Officers of the
Carabineers, were also present. The General expressed himself
highly pleased with the discipline and appearance of the troops
while under arms.

HAYMARCET THEATRE.—The Play of Pharr° was
performed here last night, when the new actor, Mr. J.
VINING, appeared as Rolla. He gave corn./ po nts in a
manner that was quite new, and which might be adopted
with advantage by any Rolla upon the stage. Amongst
these we should place his last urn; which we have
never seen done after so good a conception.
The Commission that sailed in March last for Ame-
rica, under Major-General Sir CARMICHAEL Slams, of
the Ordnance Department, returned to this country a
few days since. The object of the mission was similar
to the one under the same Officer a year nr two since
to the West Indies, viz. a check on the estim .tes made
yearly for the repair of the fortifications. The Report
will be principally confined to Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick. Bermuda was to have been visited, but .
was deferred by the President.
Sunday, a Gentleman was riding a blood horse in
Seymour-street, where an immense sewer is forming.
and in attempting to cross the boards which covered the
aperture, one of them gave way, and the horse and
rider instantly disappeared. The spectators with some
difficulty released the Gentleman, who, providentally,
had clung to one of the cross beams. The horse
however, sunk much lower, but was prevented reaching
the bottom (60 feet) by two projecting beams. At
length some tackle was procured, and two men de-
scended, who fixed a girth round its body, by which .t
was drawn up, amidst the acclamatir-ns of an immense
crowd. The Gentleman observed, that it was im-
possible to reward all the spectators, but he repaired to
the Prince of Mecklenburg, an adjacent public-house,
and left 51. to be spent for the benefit of all who assisted.
BETTING-ROOM, TATTERSALL'S, OCT. U.
The Room was very well attended and betting was brisk, par-
ticularly on the Oaks, on which heavy engagements were entered
into. A good deal was done on the Derby, and on doable events,
but not much on the St. Leger. The odds are thus:
