Monday, the 12th Royal Lancer, ched for
Ireland, from their quarters at limn Hamp-
ton Court, much to the regret of • itants of
that neighbourhood, where they had quartered
upwards of twelve months.
Monday, eight troops of the .7th Hussars,. under
the command of Colonel Ttionstint,c, were reviewed
,in the Green of Glasgow, by Major-General REYSEL,
—They acquitted themselves in a very masterly
manner, and the General was pleased to compliment
them in the warmest terms on their appearance and
state of discipline. Two-privates werithrown during
the charge, but fortunately without sustaining mate-
rial injury.
Thursday se'nnight, the Forfar and Kincardine-
shires Militia, commanded by the Hon. A. DOUGLAS,
completed their rriod of training and exercise at
Montrose. The muster was good, considering the
state of the ballot, and the progress made by the
men, of whom neatly three-fourths had on this occa-
sion joined th‘ Regiment for the first time, •in the
manual and in various evolutions, does great credit
both to them and their Officers, while, at the' same
time, their behaviour in quarters was most orderly.
Friday, the Royal Regiment of Lanark Militia was
inspected at Hamilton, by Major-General REYNELL,
previous to their being dismissed after twenty-eight
days' training. The General was pleased to express
his high approbation of the appearance of the Regi-
ment, which went through its evolutibns with a de-
gree of precision which could hardly be expected
from a Corps so recently called out.
Saturday the Kirkcudbright Yeomanry were re-
viewed by the Hon. jonn Goanow, of Kenmore, who
complimented their Colonel upon the high discipline
of his men, as well as the excellent conditron of their
horses. The gentlemanly and soldierlike conduct of
this fine Corps when in quarters, has always been
such as to command the respect and esteem of the.
inhabitants of Kirkcudbright.
The new Barracks for the 2d Regiment of Life
Guards, now erecting in the Regent's Park, are in a
great state -of forwardness, although not quite six
weeks since theywere begun. The three stables are

and 58 wide, and contains 100 stalls each; the apart-
menu over each stable are to contain 120 beds; the
OfficersErange of apartments are 210 feet in length ;
the extent of the riding-house is 160 feet by 50: the
whole is to be enclosed by a wall 12 feet high,. and
the interior to be all paved with new Scotch stone.—
The whole is to be completely finished, so as to be
habitable, by the 21st of June next.
Wednesday, all the men in the employment of the
East India Company, under thirty-five years of age,
had a muster in their different yards, when a selec-
tion was made from them for the new Battalion, autho-
rized to be raised by Act of Parliament. Yesterday,
another was made, of those under forty years of age;
so that the whole effective strength, 600 men, will be
chosen from the above two classes. By the above
regulation scarcely a single man who was in the for-
mer three Regiments will be eligible to serve in'the
present Corps.
Colonel of the Dragoons, at a Review
lost his hat, which was carried Off by a sudden put!
of wind. A private picked it up on his sword's point,'
which chanced to pierce it. The Colonel, who is
distinguished for his bravery, observing the punc-
ture, exclaimed, 81 D—u it, man ! I would sooner
you had made a hole in my arm r-. Why so,
Colonel r—" Because I am in credit with my sur-
, geon, but not with my hatter r

Tuesday afternoon a communication was made
from the Secretary of State's Office to the Police
Magistrates, requesting that none of them should be
absent from town on the 17th inst.

A violent storm commenced at nine o'clock on
Sunday morning, at Greenock, Port-Glasgow, and
the neighbourhood, and continued for an hour.
Heavier rain was never witnessed in that district.
The lightning struck Mr. Gemmill's house and rent
one of the gables, but no lives were lost. In a farm
house farther up the hill a man was struck down, but
afterwards recovered, and three cows were killed in-
stantaneously. The thunder was tremendous.
Wednesday, five men, who were employed in cut-
ting down a high sandy bank near Daltonkie-Dale,
to improve the road between Sunderland and Castle,
Eden, were buried by the sudden fall of a large quan-
tity of earth upon them. Two of them were dug
out without much injury; the other three were on-
fOrtunately suffocated.
Thursday se'nnight, on his return from the Ilk at
ICirrymuir, Charles Black, farrier in Brechin,. fell
from his horse; but his foot being entangled in the
stirrup, he was dragged for a considerable way, and
so shockingly bruised, that, though soon after "Laken
up, and conveyed to Brechin, where medical aid was
immediately procured, he expired the following day.
Sunday evening last, as Mr.WlLsou of Nelson-ter-
race, City-road, was returning home, :tbout half-past
nine o'clock, he was attacked by one or two ruffians,
within a few yards of his own door, who knocked
him down, and robbed him of his gold watch, chain,
and seals, and ransacked his pockets of their con-
tents, consisting of cash to a-small amount, his spec-
ticles; silver pencil-case, gold brooch, and a valuable
snuff--box, with which they made their escape, leaving
him stunned and insensible on the spot.
DUBLIN, Amon. 7.—About nine e'clockon Sa-
turday night, five or sir carries were stopped near
Rathesol, by twelve or fourteen armed men, *who
proceeded to pillage the property on the cars, after
having shot one man, and wounded another of •the
carriers—th* Waterford, and two other mail coanhes
arrived at the time, but deemed it best, for the sectrE

SW THE-MATTER OF HUGH DUCKWORTH, A BANKRUPT.
Mr. WETHERELL stated this to be the petition of
Roger Entwisle, of Manchester, Attorney at Law,*
the Solicitor employed under this commission, pray-
ing that an order made on the 7th of April, 1819,
by his Honour the Vice Char.cellor,•directing his
bills of costs to be taxed, might be rescinded so far as
sought the delivery of the bill incurred prior to the,
choice of assignees. which, as Mr. Entwisle repre-
sented, had been lost at -a fire which happened tear
to his office; and.which bill he was unable to make
out, owing to his not keeping any entry or account
thereof in his books. The Learned Counsel contended
that all the costs of this application ought to be paid
by the Solicitor of the bankrupt, in persisting in the
proceedings which had been taken against his client,
to commit him to the Fleet Prison, for not delivering
a bill which he must have known could not be made
out; and concluded by praying his Lordship to grant
the prayer of his petition, and to order the Solicitor
of the bankrupt to pay all costs incurred by his client.
Mr. PARKER commented on the conduct of Mr.
Entwisle in representing such facts, to induce the
Court not to tax a bill amounting to 4:140, being
three times the sum which costs of that description
usually amount to, and which statement, as to the
loss of the bill by fire, was contradicted by the affida-
vits of the persons who removed the paperk from his
office, who iNVOre that they carefully depOsited all
the papers in his office in three small green bags—
(Muck laughter)—.and carried them to his mother's
house; and that they were positive that no papers
whatever were lost; that the Solicitor or the bank-
rupt were never apprized of the loss of such bill until
a petition had been presented for Mr. Entw isle's com-
mittal to the Fleet Prison for contempt of the Vice
Chancellor's order ; and that the greatest forbearance
had been shewn to Mr. Entwisle throughout the whole
of this_ business. Mr. Parker concluded by declaring
himself confident that his Lordship would not grant
the relief prayed for.
•The Loan CHANCELLOR, in delivering his judg.
went, observed, that "In this case the Vicc Chancel.
lor made an order which directed that Mr.Entwisle
should deliver his bill of fees and charges for busi-
ness done up to the choice of assignees, and likewise
his bill for business done subsequent to the chtfice of
assignees. The Vice-Chancellor was bOund.to make
this order ; it was an order quite of course in bank-
ruptcy.. It •appears that Mr. Entwisle did deliver
his bill .of charges for business done subsequent to
the choice of assignees, but had not delivered a liill
for business done up to the choice of assignees; and
,he says he cannot do so, because the bill of fes which
he had charged, and some depositions under the
commission, have been destroyed by fires • Now, 1
cannot-bring myself to.say that it was the business
of the bankrupt's solicitor to discharge Mr. -Entwisle
from the effect of this order; because, if he was un-
able to comply with -the terms of the order, it was
his business to come to the Court, and apply to be
relireed from she effect- of• such orders- But I go
further, and say that 1 feel impressed with the idea
that 'Mr. Entwisle himself did not,think he was en-
titled to- be relieved from the effect of that Order 4
and I cannot help saying that it does not appear to
me to be an improper suspicion on the part of the
bankrupt's solicitor, who was bound to act with the
greatest caution, and in the best manner he was able
for his client, if his mind was impressed with an
idea that the statement which had been made, of the
bill of fees having ken destroyejd, was not correct.
But do not let me be understood as casting any re.
'fiections. upon Mr. Entwisle, Al- of insinuating that•
he has not spoken the truth. The reason which Mr
Entwisle assigns for not being able to deliver his bill
is rather an extraordinary one. He admits that be
has made out a bill for business done to the amount
of 4.140, but that, having lost the bill of fees, hi
cannot now tell what they wete, and therefore is un-
able to deliver in the bill requireil by the order.-4
Now he must recollect some of the fees which
paid : he must know what he paid to the Commis...,
stoners; or, if he did not know, he could inquire of
them ; and he must know likewise what he paid fall;
the use of the seal. I recollect a case in this Courtl
where-a solicitor charged for a private seal when he
bad had a public aye. It is the dirty of the Court
to see that no such -improper charges are made.--
•Withoos going farther, let .Mr. Entwisle, by affidavit;
deliver in to my secretary of bankrupts, to be com-
municated to me in one month from this day, such
-a bill, bp to the choice of assignees, as he will. state
by affidavit to- be,' to the best .of his recollection
and belief, the bill delivered, as far as it is in bii
power to state the items. When this is communil
cated to me, I will .make such farther order on this
petition as shall think proper."

GUILDFORD, AUGUST 5._

Latin-my Barnett, a Jewish youth, about 17 years
of age, was indicted for a burglary in the &veiling
house of Mr. John Woods, of Kingston, on the night
of the 9.2 d 'of July:and stealing therein 1:300 and up.
wards in Bank-notes, and tother prciperty, consisting
eftwogreat coats, &c.
It was admitted by the witnesws_ for the ptobecu.
tion. that the prisoner had gone willingly before the
Magistrate, and might have escaped if he had bea
so inclined.

The prisoner being called open for his defence,
protested his innocence.of the robbery, and stalled se-
veral witnesses to prt ye an alibi, From the evi-
dence of no less thau eight persons, it appeared that
he was at. the Royal Coburg theatre {rem half-pact
eight o'clock on Saturday *evening, the 22d of July,
until eleven at night ; that he slept that night at the
house of a cousin ; that the ne:.t day lie was seen at
the George public-house, about three o'clock in the
afternoon, selling a watch; that..in the afternoon
went en ,;.he Thames in 4. boat with a water patty ;
and that he was a young man of honest character
and industrious habits.

Mr. Baron WOOD summed up the case for the fury,
who immediately found the prisoner-17.0t GrZity.
