marched on Saturday morning, from WellHMMter for Maidstone.
Detachments belonging to the 40th, 53d, 36th, and 87th Rae-
menus of Infantry marched on Saturday morning from Westillin-
liter for Chatham.

A detachment belonging to the Royal Staff Corps marched on
Saturday morning frtm Westminster for Hythe.
The First Regiment of Oxfordbhire Yeomanry Cavalry, com-
manded by Lord Outtenlca, terminated its duty at Woodstock on
Saturday. They behaved in a most soldierly manner during the time
they have been in quarters, and their discipline and manceuvring
exhipited the strongest proofs of their proficiency, and, it is said,
perfection In the military art.
Saturday, the two troops of Yeomanry Cavalry, commanded
by Major SraArrow, completed their eight days' duty in Oxford.—
hey are a fine body of men, appear well acquainted with mili-
• tary movements, and have conducted themselves with the utmost

propriety.
The Oxford Regiment of Militia, under the command of Colonel
Gear !LANGTON, completed the period appointed for training and
exercise for this year on Thursday last. When it is considered that
the men have all so lately been indiscriminately raised by ballot,
we cannot refrain from joining in the surprise so generally expressed
at their having acquired, in the short space of twenty-eight days, so
seldierlike an appearance. The progress which the Regiment ha;
in'the Geld-exercise reflects the highest credit on the Officers
for their assiduous attention to their military duties.

MRS. SERRES soi•disant PRINCESS OLIVE.

Some of the Morning Papers have been amusing or
hoaxing their readers, about some forthcoming appli-
cations to be made in the Law Courts by that notorious
personage Mrs. Series, whose name is destined to figure in
history with the Fortunate Youth, Caraboo, and the other
impostors of the nineteenth century. The first public
attempt at imposition, of which we are aware (for we
leave her private affairs to het self), was to prove that her
uncle, Dr. Wilmot, was the author of Junius's Letters
and although she failed in this, she ventured nn a higher
• flight, and exhibited documents, all signed by persons
then deceased (and dead men tell no tales), to prove
that she was the daughter of the late Duke of Cum-
berland ; she next claimed the crown of Poland, as
legitimate descendant and sole heir of th• last King,
Stanislaus, and bad the impudence or folly to address a
proclamation to ter brave Poles. She has once more
shifted her ground, and asserts that his late Majesty
created her (Heaven bless the mark 1) Duchess of Lan-
caster !! What next shape she will voluntarily assume
we know not ; but as all her former claims were dis-
proved in Parliament by Mr. Secretary Peel, on the
positive evidence of facts and dates, we would suggest
for the protection of the public, a portion of which she
has duped, whether a statute of lunacy, or a proceeding
of a more serious nature, would not be the best to put
this daring and vulgar impostor down? Unfortunately
for .the prrensions of this soi-disant Princess, there are
few individuals whose birth, history, and character ate
less equivocal than that of Olivia Series, alias Pi incess
Olive, alias Princess Poniatowski, alias Duchess of
Lancaster.

Mr. Mums is recovering. though slowly, from the
effects of a long and severe indisposition.
Sunday sennight a Sermon was preached at Black-
water, Hants, for the benefit of the National School, by the Rev.
Wsr.s.sak Russu4„ B D. of Magdakn College, Oxford.
The deplorable instance of fanaticism exhibited at
Staverton, Devon, has been already mentioned. The
real name of. the prophetess is Mary Boon, but she
assumes the stile and titlz of Mary Joanna, the hand-
Maid cf the lona. The principal object of her mis-
sion is to. prodocethe young Shiloh to the world, who
she states was,- after • his birth by Joanna Southcate,
tarried by the spirit into the wilderness, that his ene-
mins might not destroy him ; her followers shortly ex-
pect him to appear: The. punishment of disbelief as
to the reality of her mission, is to be the destruction
of the ineredulOns; .and.the forfeiture of•their property
to her; she haat'in fact, already disposed of several
estates in the neighbourhood ; and a wealthy farmer in
the vicinity thinks himself a lucky fellow in having
become the purchaser, at .the expense of a few hun-
dreds, of some of the finest manors and farms in the
&hasty. She has also declared that it has been re
vealsd.to her that the use of pork should be prohibited,
and her disciples have disposed of their pigs under a
panic, which ,proved advantageous to the purchasers.
