The Ist Battalion of the Coldstream Guards has embarked from
Dublin fur Liverpool.
CHANGE ON 'QUARTERS 01 THE GUARDS.

On the arrival of the Ist Battalion of the Coldstream Guards in

The Ist Battalion of the Grenadier Guards will move from Port-
man-street Barracks into quarters in Lower Westminster.
The 2d Battalion of the Grenadier Guards will march from
Knightsbridge Barracks to. Portman•street Barracks.
The 3d. Battalion of the Grenadier Guards will march from the

Windsor to the Tower.

The experiment in military defence, according to Count Caittoes
system, to which we alluded a few days since, was tried at Wool-
wich Warren on Thursday and Friday last, and the fallacy of the
principle completely developed. The supposed improvement con-
sisted of a wall erected longitudinally along the centre of thefosee
in which, from the superior elevation of the counterscarp interposed
between it and the besieging force, it was conceived to be out of
the power of artillery to effect a practicable breach, Or, in fact, to
, hit it at all, while, being loop-holed and lined within with infantry,
an insurmountable obstacle was opposed to escalade. A wall upon
this platt,lB feet in length, 20 In height, seven feet thick at bottom;
and six at top, had been prepared for the purpose, upon which, on
this occasion, three batteries, mounted with 14 pieces of ordnance,
of different calibre, opened, two at the distance of 400, the third at
500 yards. Such was the accuracy and skill with which .the shot
and shells were directed, that the supposed impenetrable defence
was literally knocked to pieces, the curtain being utterly demolished
in a comparatively short space of time by the rieochlt method of
firing. The Duke of WELLINGTON, who was expected to be present,
as Master-General of the Ordnance, was prevented by circum-
stances from attending to witness the effect ; but Sir H. HARDIROR,
Colonels naudsv, FORD, &c. and a long list of distinguished officers
of Engineers and Artillery, were on the ground, and expressed them.
selves highly satisfied with the result of the experiment.
Kingston, Jamaica, June 14, 1824.
INQUIRY on Miami-Comsat Sift JOHN KEA NE, K.C.B.

AND LIEUT.- GOVERIIOII Or JAMAS.' ICA.

The public mind leas been for some time so much heated in this
bland, en a supposed neglect of this distinguished Officer on the
disturbances at St. Mary's, in the beginning of the year, that it
seems be has desired an inquiry into his conduct so soon as a pro-
per number of General Officers can be assembled for that purpose,
in ceder to set it at rest. It appear. that Sir JOHN has been accused
of bnpertinence to the Magistrates of St. Mary's, for refusing to
send troops to their assistance, although directed by his Grace the
Governor to do so; of having laughed at his Grace s message, and
dikes treated it with contempt, and of having stipulated that hot
cab% hot meals, wains and waggons, should be furnished to the
troops on their march The matter, it is understood in tbe ad-
litary circles, Including those acquainted with the *redact, occurred
as follows:
Poe years previously to the arrival of Sir Jose Hanes, the bar-
racks at Fort Haldane had been 'abandoned, as an unfit station for
European troops, but all that had been said of its unfitness fell
infinitely short of the state in which it was found, when visited bj
the Military Commander and his Staff. The mouths of the two
rivers near the barracks were completely choaked up, in consequence
of which offensive swamps were forthed„ which became receptacles
for every kind of filth. Without searching (or other causes, this
must of itself prove a most praline source of disease- ist that neigh-
bourbood; but in addition to this, the buildings themselves were
out of repair: besides, there was no fence or barrier across the neck
eland leading to the barracks, to prevent the soldiers stationed. in
the fort from straggling into the town, and for want of which the
Officers would have no contrail over them in that respect.
Such was the state of 'things when the conspiracy in St. Mary's
was discovered; and on the that of December, lass, some of the
Magistrates of that parish wrens &letter to their Colonel, the Hon.
Harry Cog, requesting him to MILD application for a military force
to be stationed at Fort Haldane. On the same day Colonel Co:
addressed a letter—nut to-his Grace the Duke of Masteassraa—
not even to the Cossmanderein.Chief of the Army—but to the

141auteaant.Coloael at Staley Hill, stating, that he considered it
aabesafy that a body of troops should be stationed at Fort Haldanoi
TM Lieutenant-Woad not having received any instructions far
des siebani of any part of his Regiment, except in cases of actual
boreaslia, transmitted Colonel Cox's letter to his Military Coma
annelort and Sir Joins Klass forwarded the application for the
telmekieration and commands of his Grace the Governor, who left
the matter to himself, as commanding the forces. The Major-
general then directed the following letter to be written : . ,
" Quartermaster-General's Office, Dec. VI, UM.
" am directed by Major-General Sir John Keane, to in-
'farm you that be has forwarded your communication from Colonel
Cox to his Grace the Governor, who not having received any report
front Colonel Cox, or the Magistrates of St. Mary's, is not aware
of the necessity of granting their request, particularly as his Grace
b as well informed as the Majon.General, that Fort Haldane is not
in a state to receive troops.
" His Grace having left the decision to the Major• General, he
desires me to say that be is willing to meet the wishes of Colonel
COs{ and the Magistrates of St. Mary's, in aiding the militia to pa-
keen the arduous duties they are called upon to execute during the
holidays • and provided that the company it is his intention to de-
tach to Port Maria, can be stationed in the Court-house, or any
miser suitable and healthy building, the Major-General will send a
company to remain a fortnight, or until after the holidays. But he
particularly desires me to say that he cannot, on any pretence what-
ever, allow a single soldier to be quartered at Fort Haldar.e.
I have the honour to be, Stc.•
(Signed) CHARLES GORR,
Deputy lauartermastel•-General.
" To Lieutenant-Colonel Moat, Commanding, Stoney I fill."
This,it appears, did not satisfy the Magistracy, and ?unpleasant
discussions arose and have continued. That the barracks at Fort
Haldane were not in a fit state to receive troops, has heed tully
proved by the circumstance of an Inspection having beon recently
made, by desire of the Governor, as to the real state of ibis fart ;
for this purpose tbelsland Engineer and the Physician of ' the Forces
proceeded to Fort Haldane, and were met by the Hon.' Mr. Hone-
son, the Hon. Colonel Cox, and other Magistrates, wheM the result
of their deliberation was, that a sum of £4OO should be immedi-
ately laid out by the parish in opening the mouths and otherwise
cleansing the two rivers alluded to as having been chojLked up, and
in flooring and roofing the buildings in the fort, so as td afford some-
what like proper accommodation for one entire company, the ex-
pense of which the Magistrates in question have guaranteed to the
parish that the Home of Assembly will reimburse. ''

SCHRIBER.
The Loan Cnaucettnft was occupied for a ccnsitierable time this
morning, its his private room, in hearing this cause, relative to the
marriage of a Ward of the Court. Counsel were engaged on both
side 3, and it was understood that an amicable arrangement was
the result.

SMITH V. TRIMMER. • I
The I.oas CUANCIILLOR gave judgment in this case, and decided
that the lease, under all the extraordinary circumstances that charac-
terised it, was at an end ; and that the purchaser of the fee simple
having consented to his Lordship deciding with respect td his in-
terest also, he should now dispose of the whole. It was clear that
the intention was, that the lease should terminate with the partner-
ship, whether it continued for 7, 14, or 21 years ; and taking into
consideration the fact, that the rent of the premises was to be paid
out of the gains of the trade, it was clear that the moment the
parties ceased to be partners the lease was at an end. The e-,ly
luestlon was as to the disposal of the property. The Assignees of
smith, however, must be treated as partners, and the only point
now was as to the security to be given for the conducting of the
concern, which could be done by the parties themselves.

. .
IN THE MATTER OR SHAW E. EixiPEr)N.
In this cause, in which property to a •ery considerable amount i.
in litigation, his Lordship directed that the possession must be re-
turned to the consignee.

CHELSEA HOSPITAL.-SIR CHARLES LONO IN TUE

NATTER OF BROTHERS AND LIOTH.

In this case aretition---had-been presented on behalf
of Sir Charles Long, as Treasurer of Chelsea Hospital,
praying that he might be examined under a commission
of bankruptcy issued against Brothers and Leith,
touching a sum of 9,0001. which tame into the hands
of the bankrupts, for the purpose of being paid over
to certain soldiers in the East Indies. The Petition also
prayed that Mr. Wyatt, the assignee appointed unders
the commission, might be removed.
The circumstances of the case were shortly these :
A conjoint expedition was sentout from the East Indies
against Java and other places in that part of the world,
which having been successful gave the military em-
ployed in it a claim to prize-money. Many of the sol-
diers transmitted orders through the house of Fairlie
and Ferguson, of India, to that of Fairlie and Bonham,
of London, for the payment of this prize-money, which,
tr, the amount of 11,0001. was paid over from Chelsea
Hospital to Brothers and Leith, in whose hands about
9,0001. of it remained at the time of their bankruptcy.
It was contended, on the part of Brothers and Leith,
that Sir Charles Long, as Treasurer, had no right to be
examined, and that, according to the provisions of the,
54th of the late King, having once paid over the money'
he had nothing further to do with the business, and
could not be considered as a crediror.
After hearing arguments on both sides, the LORD
CIiANCILLOR said there was no doubt on his mind that
some pat ty should be allowed to prove the debt of 9000/.
under the commission.• It was; however, another ques-
tion, and one of some difficulty, whether Sir Charles
Long, as Treasurer of Chelsea Hospital, was the person
ex debit° justitiee to be examined ? He would look care-
fully into the Act, and be prepared to give his final de-
cision on Thursday.

ALARMING FIRE.
rr-
Early yesterday morning, the tangly of Mr. Nicholls, a farmer,
living at Neesdon, a small village on the road to Edgeware, were_
thrown into consternation by the discovery of a large stack of new
hay lisying taken fire, swing to its having been got Up in too damp
a state. The stack happening to joinseveral others, and also being
in risalmmediate vicinity of the farm-yard, apprehensions were en-
tertained that the whole property would be destroyed, especially
as the fiames spread with great rabidity, and did-not appear in.the
least to yield to the efforts of the servants, and of the neighbours
whn had come to their assistance. In a little time the fire bad torn:
tnunicated to the outhouses connected with the farm-yard, from
which it was with difficulty that the agricultural implements and
stock were removed, when at this critical juncture, one of the Lon-
don engines arrived on the spot, and being fortunately followed by
several others, the Games, by the exertions of the firemen, received
a check, and in about an hour afterwards were wholly got under.
The stock, outbuildings, Stu destroyed, amount to a considerable
sum. Great part of the farm-yard is now in a state of utter 'ruin:

NEW SECT OF CHRISTIANS.

. -~-

A new Society. of Christians has been formed at Man-
chester, who profess, as one of their leading tenets, to
abstain wholly from animal food, and to live entirely on
segetables. They have for some time rigidly followed
this practice, and though it is expressly founded on
their literal interpretation of the command, thou shalt
mot kill, yet the medical effects of it have confirmed one
fact long disputed is physiology—viz. that man can be
sustained in robust health better on vegetable and
farinaceous diet, than on flesh. The whole of a nume-
rous Society now exist on vegetables, and enjoy the mos t
perfect health and strength.

Yesterday the Loma MAyoa and-Corporation Officers
proceeded in the City barge up the Thames, for the pur-
pose of holding a Court of Conservancy, and inspecting
the state of the embankments upon the River. The
City barge on this occasion having undergone a repair,
made a gay and stately appearance. A complete set
of new civic Rags and emblems were displayed, and the
elegant company on board added much to the splendour
of the exhibition. On the, arrival of the barge above
Westminster-bridge, the LORD MAYOR was saluted by
a discharge of twenty guns, fired from Net.soN's (the
Water Bailiff) Causeway.
• Last night, about half-past eleven, a fire broke out on
the premises of Mr. Blackball, haberdasher, of Great
Distaff-lane, Doctors' Commons, which entirely de-
stroyed the premises of that Gentleman, and injured
those contiguous. We regret to add, that under the in-
fluence of personal alarm, a servant of Mr. Blackball's
threw himself out of a two-story window, and was taken
up in a state that left very little hope of recovery.
Letters have been 'received from the Mauritius, dated
the 16th April. One of them says---.., On the 10th and
11th inst. we were visited by another severe hurricane
which put a finishing stroke to our distresses, and you
•may be assured that noplace was ever in a mote deplor-
able situation; there are nn business transactions, and
no money in circulation, nor any resources for remittances
for those realised."

The ConstituOmnel contains a correspondence between
Peesident Boyer and the Senate of Hayti, which oc-
curred so far back as July, 1813, though only published
inJune last. A decree of the Senate ordered to be given
to Boyer, in gratitude for his services, two sugar planta-
tions, to be selected as a national gilt horn the public,
domains. This gift Boyer declined accepting, but ex-
pressed his great satisfaction at having been honoured
by so signal a mat k of approbation.
Great disputes prevail in the parish of Kennington,
in consequence of the novel method adopted by the
Parish Officers, of letting the seats in the new church
there. The seats have been divided into three classes,
for the higher, the middling, and the lower. Tnis is
much disliked, part7cularly by the middling order, who
say that they kave a rig:it, if they pay, to have seats in
weazts er part 01 chutch they please.

THE CROPS IN SUSSEX.
The crops in Snases aretemarkably backward,Wheet
will not be cut till the end of the mouth, Oats about the
same time : that which has not been laid by the late
storms is very fine, and the straw in particular is long
and stout. The Hay harvest has been prodigiously
abundant, which has made up for a little that was
spoiled in the wet. The meadows were mowed, on an
average, fourteen days later than usual; and the Hay
was, generally speaking, a long uhile on the ground
before it could be carried.

' QUBENHITHE REGATTA.
Yesterday being the day appointed for the annual contest be-
tween the Wateriness of Queenhithe, for a very handsome wherry,
and other priies, the gift of the Ladies and Gentlemen of the Ward,
both sides of the River, from Blackfriaribridge to that of London,
were crowded to excess. •
At twenty minutes to four o'clock the signal gun was fired, and
the following men took their stations to row the first heat ; viz.
John Robins, green; John Wsilingei, red; and Benjamin Bird,
yellow.—This was a very well-contested heat, between green a:;i1
red, who were declared the winners.'• •
The second beat was equally well contested, and declared in fa-
vour of Henry. orange ; and James Thomas, pink ; George
Martin, light blue, having declined rowing the distance. Bitting
ran now very high, and shortly before seven o'clock the men, green,
red, orange, and pink, were ordered off to row the last heat. This
was a most arduous contest, and decided in favour of orange. Green
came in second, and pink third. Green was entitled to 41. pink to
3/. and red to 21.—The two men who did not row in the grand heat
received 11. each.
WINDERMERE RRGATTA.
Thursday week, the charming exhibition of the Queen of the
Lakes, decorated with the pomp and pageantry of its living erns.
meats, was unveiled to a host of enraptured spectators. The beau.
tiful situation of Low Wood Inn was the appointed station. The
whole proceedings of the day were under the direction of Professor
Wilson, of Edinburgh. The grandeur of the 'mountain scenery,
the splendour of the flags waving in the breeze, the firing of cannon,
the melody of music; and the blaze of beauty and fashion, all con-
spired to render the Regatta.most enchanting to the senses. The
grand aquatic procession of the barges, and numerous row-hoats of
the lake, was tile most beautiful sight ever witnessed on Winder-
mere. The other amusements of running, leaping, and.wrestling,
were admirably conducted. The young Duke of Buccleugh was of
Colonel Bolton's party in this exhibition, as was also Mr. Words-
worth, the poet.
THE RING.
The new Bristolian (Bayley) is ready to meet Lipsey Cooper for
£25 or £5O a-side.
CANNON AND Huosox.—Agreeably to the wish of the latter, Can-
non has named the 17th, to meet him to make good a match for
£5OO a.side, if Hudson is willing. Should this match be made
good, Cannon has declared that it shall be the last time he will ea-
ter the Prize Ring.
Jeers WARD.—This diamond need no longer look out for a cus-
tomer; a countryman, said to be an awkward one, of 14st. 21b. is
ready to meet him for Xtoo.
Some of the Fancy think that Langan should meet Jens Ward
before Shelton. After Laugaes benefit he challenged any matt so
enter the Ring with him for £3OO aside. Ward instantly mounted
the stage, and offered to accept his challenge for £2OO aside ; sod
after consulting his friends, subsequently informed Lsngawthat be
would meet him on his own terms.-13eing,,gberefore, 'helm to
take up the glove, it is argued that according,to the pugilistic laws
he ought to be the first to eontendlor the &moan ; particularly as
the brave Irishman was quite indifferent as to his opponent.
