of Gentlemen who have been appointed to Commis-
sions in Regiments of Cavalry and Infantry of the
Line from the 2Gth January, 1819, to 25th January,
1820, has been 182. Of these 40 were Gentlemen
Cadets from the Royal Military College, of whom
nine obtained their appointments by purchase, and
!.31 without purchase. Of the I.:maining 112, there
were 69 by purchase, and 73 without purchase.

banns had been irregular it should be left 'to the
.lodge to decide whether it was a bona
„fide marriage.
Such a provision would inevitably lead to a degree
of profligacy of which it was difficult to form an
estimate, a:.l he was only surprised how it oculd
Lave entered the head of any individual. He doubt-.
ed much whether any Judge could be safely in-
vested with this discretion ; and if all cases of mar-
riage by license Were to fall within the same clause,
it would be much better to abolish marriage by li-
cense altogether.
The Earl of WESTMORELAND urged-the pro-
priety of going into the Committee.
The LORD CHANCELLOR again declared that
he never would agree to a retrospective Bill. He
could not vote for going into the Committee, though,
as the Bill might be entirely altered, and become a new
measure, he should not press his objections further.
The House then went into the Committee. Several

rival and commands will determine it.

The l'ublic, particularly those who have been in
the habit of visiting the Isle of Wight, will rejoice to
hear, that the objections so long obtaining against it,
viz, the uncertainty of the passage, and the late and
irregular delivery of the mails, are at length entirely
obviated ; the passage being now reduced to the cer-
tainty of an hour and a hag; in all weathers, by the
establishment of a large steam-vessel, of 70 tons, called
the Prince Coburg, with elegant accommodations,
and fitted with the lower-pressure engine and safety
valves, according to Act of Parliament. The Prince
Coburg is commanded by Mr. JAMES Butour, who
has been many years in his Majesty's Post-office em-
ployment; and her going is so expeditious, constant,
and tegular, that the inhabitants of the Isle of Wight
not only derive the advantage of getting their letters
at nine o'clock A. DJ. each morning, instead of twelve
and one o'clock, as used to be often the case, three
days out.of four, but the Public may, with as much
facility, critnfort, and security, cross from Southamp.
ton to the Wight, and vice versa, as a traveller finds
in a good and well.appointed coach from London to
Hammersmith or Brentford.

SITTING OF TOE 12Th.

D. QUIROGA proposed to demand of the Minister
at War, information of a disturbance which had oc-
curred on the Bth, in the quarters of the Royal
Guard, in which one man had been killed.

The Minister of the Provinces beyond Sias read an
Exposé on the situation of. that portion of the Mo-
narchy. lie announced that, according to all the
accounts which had reached him, the news of the re-
establishment of the Constitution had been received
with enthusiasm ; and that there was reasoq to hope
that this news would restore peace to the whole of
America.

The MINISTER of JUSTICE read a similar Expose
relative to his department.
The widow of General Lacy having in vain de-
manded from Government the communication of
the proceedings against her husband, now addressed
the same demand to the Cortes. Several Deputies
eadeavoured to shew that this communication was
not contrary to the Constitution, although the Mi-
nisters thought so.
" Shall we," said D. MARTINEZ de la ROSA, "return
this answer to the widow of Lacy---' The Constitution
for which thy husband died a martyr, refuses thee the
least. consolation ?'

On the proposition of Count TORRtNO, the Assembly
decided, " That the law of the 9th of October, 18—,
being in favour of, the demand of Madame Lacy,
Government be regiested to conform itself to it."

Extract of a letter, received this morning, from
Praya St. )ago, dated April 10:
" For the first time arrived here the United State's'
ship Franklin, of 74 guns, Commodore Stewart, from
the Mediterranean. It was an astonishing sight to

the Portuguese to witness an American ship of such
complete model and strength. Commodore Stewart
having obtained the supplies for which he entered
the port, acquainted the American Consul he *as
about to sail, of which he desired him to inform the
Governor-General, who immediately issued orderi
for the ship to pass; but, by the negligence of the
Officers, the most distant batteries were not apprised
that his Excellency's permission was granted, and
opened a fire upon the Franklin.
His Excellency was much alarmed for the conse-
quence, and instantly sent express, for them to cease
firing, but before it reached, twelve or fifteen guns
had been-discharged, and one shot passed the main-
top-sail. His Excellency then dispatched the Cap-
tain of a 90. gun brig of war to Commodore Stewart
with an apology, but the distance of the Franklin
prevented him from reaching the ship in his boat,
and he returned." The Officers who were first charged
with communicating his Excellency's orders, and
those commanding the batteries, were immediately
confined, but the American Consul, conceiving that
the latter were' not deserving of censure, obtained
their release."

HA 51ELIN'S MASTIC CEMENt

HAMELIN'S MASTIC CEMENT, for coating
Buildings, covering fiat Roofs, caning Ornaments, work-
ing Mouldings, Ike. &c. receives the unqualified approbation of
the first Architects of the day. The Domes, and all other
works described above, at his Majesty's Pavilion at Brighton,
o done with it; and it may be seen r:tensively in use at every
House in that beautiful Street called the Regent's Quadrant,
North side of Piccadilly, and at many of .the other noble iiuild-
iaEs
it the neighbourhood of Carlton Palace, where the Fore-
men of the Mastic Plasterers will readily give any explanation,
sheer the respective works.
The new Gothic Church at Stepney, and Shadwell Church,
.re excellent spedmens of the Mastic.
The advantages of my Mastic are, that it adheres to any
s Ihstance, resists damp, dry-rut, and saltpetre in walls ; be-
comes the colour of Portland stone, which it retains ; does not
etate or turn green, and when applied as an internal stucco,
~:ies in a few days, so that it may be p4i,!tcd or papered im-
mediately. It aLo makes a very superior and cheap Paint for
eat-door work, particularly fur Iron, which will never rust or

The Mastic is sold by Messrs. Charles Francis and White,
!;ine-films, near London, for whom it is exclusively RI anufac-
lured under the Patent, and to whom reference ter information

EVANS V. BEST.

This was'an action by a linen-draper at Dovei, to
recover the amount of a bill of PAO, for goods sup-
plied to the defendant's wife, whilst she lived sepa-•
rate from her husband, with the plaintiff's knowledge.
The sale and delivery of the goods in question
were regularly proved. It was suggested in the open-
ing, that the defendant, had driven his wife from his
hou e, and that the goods 'supplied her by the plain-
tiff were necessaries suitable to her condition.

Several witnesses were called to prore these facts,
but, on their cross-examination, it appeared that the
defendant, a weal,',,y. brewer, atChatllam, had mar-
ried Mrs. Best, after shehad been for some time living
with him in.a state of concubinage ; and that after-
wards Mrs. Best voluntarily eloped from his house,
carrying off with her a carriage load of all sorts of,
wearing apparel ; she had two dozen pairs of new
silk-stockings, two dozen pairs of new shoes, dm
The Cuter JUSTICE, under these circumstances,
and before the defendant's case was gone into, ruled
that the action would not lie. There were, in fact,
two defencei to the action. In the first place, Mrs.
Best had voluntarily eloped ; and, in the second, six
had carried off such quantities of clothing, that she
could not be said to be in w ant of necessaries. A
tradesman, like the plaintiff, trusts a married woman
at his peril, if he knows that she is living separate
from her husband. If she was living with her hus-
band, the case would be quite different.—Nonsuited.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.

EXTRACT PROM A PRIVATE LATTER.
" All the beauty and fashion within ten miles were
assembled, the, Countess of DARNLEY' Ladies Buorr,
&c. and, indeed, • numbers-were down from London
to witness the sight. The Rivet was covered with
boats of all sizes, full of spectators ; and every ship,
lighter, boat, &c. that could at all command a view,
was crowded to excess. On the opposite side of the
River there were likewise an immense number of
spectators, and even the distant hills were covered
with those who had not leisure or inclination to walk
round to the Dock-yard for a nearer view.
" About half-past twelve the TRAFALGAR was
christened, amidst repeated cheers ; and in about half
an hour the last prop was knocked away, when, after
hanging about two or three seconds, she moved into
the water in agrand and majestic style, and assumed,
when properly afloat, such a fine commanding ap-
, as must have filled the heart of every true
ruagrniais eta* it with the most proud and pleastuvable
feermgs. To the credit of those who had the super-
intendence, not the slightest accident happened.
" After * launch, his Royal Highness was to
proceed to the Lines, to review the Ist Veteran Bat-
talion, under the command of Col. Sir A. CERISTIE.
He dines to-day with Sir Joan Goaa ; and in tie
evening Will be entertained with a grand Ball, which

DEBILITY AN!) STRICTURE.

TT was the Remark of the great Dr. Sydenham,
IT
that acute diseases are the punishment of "have?: ; but
that chronic ante are inaicted by ourselves. The consequence
of a prevailing malady proclaims too feelingly to the sufferers
this unwelcome truth. What situation can ba so pitiahle where
the mired glows with paaston which the Infirmities of body can.
not indulge?—Whects indiscretiOn, or rnakreatment have pro.
duced the premature debility of age ia the sexual organs, and
where the bloom and vigour of manhood is no longer alive to its
natural youthful fire? 'fu such Messrs. COOPER and Co. offer
every eontolation, and the promise of a certain, safe, and per-
manent Cure, conducted with the delicate st;r:_ey it reiuires,
and speedily renovatiug the lost energies.
Nor are their sufferings less severe front another complaint.—
, Sea=teat occasions a total derangement of the lirinarF 'system;
the nights are harassed by pain, and the day by fruitless efforts
to gain relief. Here a regulated system, is the hands of science

BANK OF ENGLAND.

A General Court of Proprietors of this Corporation
was held yesterday, for the purpose of considering
the amount of the Dividend on their Capital Stock
for the Half-year ending the sth of April next ; as
also the expediency of presenting an Address of Con-
dolence on the death of the late KING, and of Con-
gratulation on his MAJESTY'S Accession to the Throne.
At twelve o'clock precisely, the Directors entered
the Court-room, when the Governor, after reading a
minute, agreeably to the usual form, of the proceed-
ings at the last General Court, submitted a proposi-
tion that the Half-yearly Dividend should be Five
per Cent. This being agreed to unanimously, it was
also resolved that Warrants for the payment of the
same should he issued on the 6th of April next.
The Governor then, on the part of the Directors,
suggested the propriety of that Court testifying, by
an Address to the Throne, its loyalty and attaci-
ment to the House of Brunswick, and its deep sense
of the many virtues and exalted character of their
late Sovereign.
As this motion appeared to give general satisfac.
tion, an Address to the reigning KING WPS immedi-
ately read and agreed to, without any observations.
It •was then ordered that the Address should, be
signed by the Directors, and sealed with the common
Seal of' the Corporation. The Governor and Deputy
Governor were likewise requested to communicate
with the Secretary of State for the Home Depart-
ment, with regard to the most conveaient mole of
pre eating it. The Meeting then adjourned till.
Tuesday, the II dr of A pril next.
