Jewel Ydsenn, 'a middle-aged man, of respectable appearance.was
put to the Bar on a charge of qtraling a £5 note from a letter en-
trusted to hint to deliver. in his capacity as a letter-carrier, at Port-
sea. It appeared, that on the 13th of August, 1843, Mr. Steele,
of Malden. transmitted a XS note, enclosed in a letter, directed
to Mrs. Grant, at Portssa, having first taken the precaution of
making a minute of its date and number. The letter never reached
its destination ; but on the 15th of the same month the prisoner
gave to his sister, to get changed, at a grocer's, in Portsmouth, a
£5 note, which it subsequentlyappeared was the same enclosed
by Mr. Steele. This note, after passing through. a variety
of hands, was paid into the Bank of England, from whence
it was retraced into the posrssion of the prisoner at the
bar. It farther appeared, that on the same day that the prisoner
gave this ask •to his sister to get changed, he was seed to put a
letter into ahe Ire.

DINISS Morning Register cf Saturday.
Wednesday, a young man of the name of Gregory,
an assistant to Mr. Williams, apothecary, of Kingsmead-square,
Bath, was unfortunately drowned whilst bathing in the pleasure-
baths, near the Canal, in the neighbourhood of that city.
Yesterday a, miserable looking woman decoyed a
little girl, six years of age, into one of the new bundler in
Stepney-Gelds, and stripped her naked. The cries of the child, on
being left, drew some persons to her assistance, who took her
home to beamother's house, in the Commercial Road. On bee
being dressed again, the mother took her out, to endeavour to trace
Ithe wretch, when fortunately the child pointed out the woman, who
had sold all the clothes except the pelisse, which was found on her.
She was taken into custody, and conveyed to Lambeth-street Office,
and after an examination was fully committed for trial. So incensed
were the women against her, that the Officers had much difficulty in
preventing them from taking summary justice on the wretch.
Dem rara Papers to the 7th of April. state that the
Easter holidays had passed over without any symptoms
of discontent on the part of the slave population. The
Governor of Berbice had appointed Mr. Musoftavg,
formerly Attorney-General at Antigua, to be President
of the Civil and Criminal Courts of B:rbice.
New York Papers to the Bth ult. have arrived. The
quote advices from Lima of the 29th of January, which
communicate an event of great importance, if we
could fed perfectly sure of its accuracy. The Liberator,
a name now universally bestowed on BOLIVAR. had
received cl;spatches from General Swag, of the 81st
of December, announcing the unqualified submission of
OLA NRTA to I is orders. The little town of Chor illos had
been constituted the port of Lima, pntil Callao should
surrender. That fortress mealtime. was closely in-
vested by sea and land, but the term of its surrender,
through the obstinate determination of RoDIL, was ex-
pected to be for a long time protracteJ. By this arrival
we ate presented with the novelty of a Sunday Paper,
the first published at New York. We find little do-
nsestic news in these journals. A notice has been
issued from the Treasury, that the " eleven millions
loan" of 1812, with the intetest due on it, will be paid
off en the 31st of. October next. The exchange with
London continued t s improve, owing to the great in-
crease of bills at ising from the exportations of Cotton
to England. It was only six per cent. against the
Uni ed States: within three years it has been 14 per cent.
On the lst of May, the American steam-bmt Albemarle was de..
Preyed by fire, off Arch-street Wharf, Philadelphia. The accident
is attributable to the carelessness of the fireman, who commenced
raising the steam a short time previous to the conflagration. The
Fire Companies repaired to the wharf with much alacrity; tout Si
soon as it was found that their efforts were unavailing, she was cot
loose and towed ever to the island, where she burned down to the
water's edge.
The steam host Oliver, on her passage from Hartford to New
York, struck on a rock, 1.1.41 was much injured. On the reed of

This morning the Duke of Cammusea inspected, in I/ yde Park.
the Coldstream Regiment of Guards, of which his Royal nighties-
Colooel.
• THE YORKSHIRE HUSSARS.
Last Tuesday the Yorkshire Hussars, cm:emanated by Leird
GRAIIITNAM, were 'reviewed at York. The, several troops ha.:
formed on their private parades by half-past ten,.and about clever.
o'clAclr moved forward to Knavesmire, the place of review.
Shortly after the Hunan bad taken their ground, a troop of the,
lonlakillin Dragoons arrived from the barracks, for the purpose
of keeping the space of exercise clear
,from the spectators At
twelve o'clock, General Sir Joon Brim. K.C.B. the reviewing
Officer, attended by a brilliant Staff, arrived in front of the line,
and proceeded to inspect the troops. The evolutions and military
exercises which followed were performed with a precision and ac-
curacy that would have done credit to a corps whose avocations
are more strictly military than those of the Yorkshire floss ,r..
After the business of the review was finished. the 11-7iment
formed three sides of a hollow square. ' General Brno was pleases!,
through Lord Gameroaat, to express to the Hussars his high gran-
fication at their proficiency and solder like appearance. His Lord-
ship also took the opportunity of informing his soldiers, that on
account of the promotion of Sir Jon's Brno, this would he the fast
time of his attending to so pleasing a duty as be had that morning
discharged. His .Lordship concluded, by apologising fur what
might be considered, not exactly accordant with military etiquette,
hut he called for three cheers for General Sir Joust Brian, which
were immediately most -enthusiastically rendered. The gallant
General saluted the corps and retired.
A long and elegant train of Ladies now entered the square and
arranged themselves on one side, in order to witness the presenta-
tion of the superb piece of plite subscribed for by the non-cont-
missioned Officers and privates of the Hunan, as a token of respect
for their worthy Commander.
The piece of plate was then brought in by two of the Yorkshire
Hussars, attended by a party dismounted and their swords drawn ;
the band playing " GOD save the Korn." Captain Adjutant Sala n,
came forth and addressed Lord GRANT/lAN, in a neat and sppro:
priate speech, wherein he alluded in manly and feeling terms, to
the attachment which was felt towards his Lordship, by the men
under his command, as a token of which respect and attachment,
they had subscribed fur a piece of plate, of which, to the name of
the non-commissioned Officers and Privates of the Yorkshire Re-
giment of Hussars, he begged his Lordship's acceptance. This
address was followed by the hearty cheers of the assembled troops.
When the enthusiastic applause had subsided, Lord GRA:mt.:at
returned his thanks in terms of simple and manly eloquence, which
were evidently dfctated by the feelinga of the moment. His Lord.,
ship expressed the joy and pride that he felt, at the manner in
which he had been alluded to. He felt proud that his conduct had
so obtained the good will of his men, and he accepted their land-
some present with much Satisfaction, because he considered it no
way derogatory to honest servants, to accept the reward of their
fidelity. His Lordship then alluded to the discipline which he had
ever maintained, and which he fek due to the Regiment, in which
he had served for twenty-two years, in various grades, until the
command had devolved upon himself. His Lordship alluded with
feelings of pride to the fact, that out of the number of men then
assembled, there were only thirty-one who could be considered as
at all dependent upon him, either in the capacity of tenants or
otherwise. He had also great satisfaction in observing the ready
attention they all manifested towards their military duties, there
being out of the whole corps only thirteen absentees. From these •
circumstances his Lordship argued Ike devotedness and honesty
of the five hundred brave fellows he now saw around hism—.l
In accepting their magnificent present, he should retain it as an
heir-loom, in his family—a proud memento in his family—to his
grand-children and great grand-children, who would learn, that
their ancestor had not only commanded the Yorkshire Hassan, but
also had secured their approbation and esteem. In conclusion, 'his
Lordship thanked the Regiment fur their excellent conduct since
their assembling in the metropolis of the County; for be ,ad not
heard of one complaint against them.
The hearty cheering of the soldiers, in which they were loudly
joined by the surrounding spectators, greeted his Lordship at the
conclusion of his address.
The Hussars shortly afterwards formed their line of march. aid'
retired from the ground. The whole was concluded at half-past
two o'clock.

Wednesday, the Leeds squadron of the Yorkshire Hussars pre-
sented a piece of plate to Captain Biczerr, at t►e Coloured Cloth
Hall, Leeds.

BETTING-ROOM. TATTERSALL'S, JUNE g:
The Room, the Yard, and every avenue of these extensive pre-
mises, were hUtd to overflowing at an early hour—in fact; we do
not remember when there has been a more numerous attendance,
of sporting characters of every class. Amongst the buiy_groupe
we observed several of the fancy, Including Oliver, Jack Randall,
White-beaded Bob, Josh Hudson, Savage. &c. The crowded
state of the yard afforded ample scope for the ligbt.fingered gentry,
two of whom had introduced themselves into the Yard, but were
qsickly ejected by the dicers present. Paying and receiving was
the principal feature in the day's business, and was completed
without any disagreeable interruption. Tits betting was as follows :
