Saw steely -;slrestertiaY a huesdOu knporiance to the
pisbhcans and stah!e-keepert of Westrainstee came g
on tothe gbe h
oard
before Mr. NMI IS, the Sitting Magistrate, respectin
tering of any other soldiers but those of the three regiments of
d
Guards, except those upon marching orders. Those who at-
' eended,represented that they had been given to understand, that
as they were never without the Guards quartered upon them,
they were exempted front all Other soldiers; but now one Of
them had as many as mmeeets of the 9th hussars, men and horses,
and they bad been told by the officers, that they might remain as
long as five mouths. They were strengthened in their opinion
that they were exempted, as they had been Informed by Mr.
Smith, of Curzon-street, May-fair, that he bad appealed before
Sir Nathaniel Conant and Mr. Birnie, who Jtad admitted the ap-
peal, and that publicans, Bt.c.. of Westminster were exempted
from receiving a:ty tither soldiers than the guards. The High
Constable of Westminster attended, and stated, in justification of
bis quartering the men and horses in Westminster, that be had
received orders front Lord Palmerston, the Secretary at War, to
quarter them near to the Queen's riding house, in Pimlico. where
they were learning the lance exercise. He admitted that Mr.
Smith had appealed before Sir Nathaniel Conant and Mr. Bituie.
Mr. NA ILO examined the Mutiny Act, but could not find any'
exemption to Westminiter. He admitted that he had under-
stood that it was so, but he did not know what custom could do
in the buster's. He promised to consider of the Act well, and
to consult with his brother Magi-crates upon the question.
QVIAN•SQUAR r..—A soldier in the Guards made a complaint
against the porter of the Westminster Infirmary, for strflereng the
body of his friend, who died there, to be carried away for <lmre.
tion, for which be received :Is. remuneration; the body was mis-
sing two days, but was then brought back to the hospital. The
Magistrate said he had no jurisdiction in the case, but be thought
the complainant's object would be to get the body restored to his
friends, which was now attained.

We are concerned to say, Miss KELLY continues
confined from indisposition.

His Western excursion has been highly productive.
The Comedy of the Recruiting will be pro-
duced at Drury lane Theatre, with more than com-
mon attraction as to the cast of it. The novelty cif
Mr. JOHNSTONE', playing the part of Serjeant Kite is
by no means the least feature of excellence.—Must-
KNIGHT,•OXIIEIIttY. HARLEY, RAE, and Mrs.
►IAUDYN are also part of the cor/us d'elite, who are
announced in th:s popular revival of one of FAR•
QUHAR'S Plays.
We are informed, that Messrs. COOPER and Co.
.the celebrated Surgeons of Charlotte House, Black-
friar's-road, have patronised an Establishment in
Surrey, for the accommodation of Ladies, whose
situation requires a temporary retirement. The Asy-
lum is near 'roan, where a Midwifeof twenty years'
experience, resides. This benevolent act will cause
the Medical Bintid to have the smiles and good
wishes of the most beautiful part of the creation ; tor,
by such an Establishment, domestic grief will be
avoided, reputation preserved, and tender babes pro-
tected ; and we are of opinion the Establishment may
also be the means of preserving many valuable lives.
