REVIEW OF THE ROYAL HORSE GUARDS.

Yesterday his Royal Highness the I)tike of CONIERLAND re-
viewed his Regiment, the Royal Horse Guards, on Wormwood
Scrubs. At half-past ten, the Regiment appeared on the ground
in Review order, the band wearing their State uniform.• The Re-
giment then dismounted, and waited his Royal Highness's arrival.
A few minutes before eleven o'clock, the hour fixed by his itelal
Highness, he appeared, surrounded by a splendid Suite, and at.
tended by Prince Gionag. His Royal Highness was mnunted on
a superb grey Hanoverian horse, and dressed in the uniform of the
Regiment. Prince GEORGIC was on a puny, fully caparisoned, and
himself dressed in a Hussar uniform, Count Porn:4. Colonel
Tnoaterett, one of his Majesty's F.querries, and Sir Hussayl/tvuin,
accompanied the Royal Duke. The moment his Royal Ilighnesit
appeared on the ground, the Regiment, d,..wn up in line, received
his Royal Highness with open ranks, and a general salute. His
Royal Highsiesa then rode through the rattli., and took up his
station in front :of the Regiment. 'Die. Regiment then went
through their parade movements, marching past by ball squadrons,
filing past, trotting, and cantering past in half squadrons—all.of
which were done with the greatest precision. The Regiment then
commenced their field- movements, countermarching; deploying
into line, advancing in double column of half squadrons, forming
line to the left, forming close column of half squadrons In the rear
of the left, formiNg two lines, again forming line, advancing in
echellon of half squadrons, forMinr squadrons on the march,
forming line on the leading squadron, forming close column of
squadrons, attacking in squudron by succession; the second squa-
dron attackiii to the right and left after charging to the fronts
retiring, forming line, 'charging in line, retiring by half squadrons,
forming line, and concluding by advancing•ln parade, taking open
order, and giving a general salute. At the termination of which
the men dismounted. His Royal Highness-called up the Officers,
and expressed, in the mostenthusiastic manner, his admiration of
the 3 tradinen and appearance of the Regiment. Ilis Royal High-
ness then left the ground. and. the R.r•ment returned to their
Barracks in Regents Park. The beauty of 'die Bay attrac•ed
vast concourse of people. Among the company we observed—the
Marquis of CAMHAIEHEP:, Lords UMBRA)! and ARTHUR, Hu+,
Sir JOHN SHELLY, Colonels ANON, CAMAC, Lyaotr, many Officers
of the Lite Guards, Fifteenth Hussars, and Artillery, in their
splendid uniforms. There was no accident to mar the enjoyment
of the day, 'and there seemed but one feeling as to the splendid
appearance of this distinguished Regiment, of which Colonel HaLt.-,
brother of the Commander-in-Chief, is the Colonel, and who was
highly complimented by his Royal Highness for the excellent order
of his Regiment.

A most melancholy catastrope occurred on Thurs.
day, in the neighbourhood of Speke, about sit miles
from this town. • • Mr. John Stevens, a respectable
flour-dealer -in St. James's square, had purchased a
Welsh pony for the use of his son, a fine boy nine
years of age, which he took out on Thursday, the father
leading the pony, whilst the son rode. When they came
near to Speke, a dog, v hich had been ranging the field,
sprang through the hedge into the road, and caused
the pony .to start and Wunge. Mr. Stevens unfca.tu-
nately fell, and lost his hold of the pony's halter, on
which the animal dashed forward, dragging the
unfortunate boy by the stirrup. When be had pro-;
ceeded about 100 yards, he made towards a smithy,
when the boys head was dashed against a post, and the.,,
catastrophe was -complete.d.—Litrerpool Advertiser.
Thursday night one of the most destructive fires
occurred that we have for many yea 6 past had to record •
in this town. About hplf -past -ten on that night the
watchman stationed on the premises of Messrs. Part. 6
WILLIAMS, and Pan, the Soho Foundry, in Pollard.
,treet,Ancoats,discovered a light in one ofal,e apartments
in their manufactory, Irom which issued immense vo-
lumes of vitae. He immediately gave an alarm, and
hastened to the room, but found the door fast. By the
time the fire engines arrived--.three quarters of an hour
after the alarm—the flimes. had spread to so great an
extent, that any efforts to stop their progress in the main
building seemed to be hopeless. The building, which is
three stories high and 12 yards wide, forms nearly a
square, we should suppose about 6) yards each way, and
the room in which the fire was first oh,erved is situred
near one corner, the fire consequently citended on two
sides at the same time. In spite of every. effort,
the fire increased rapidly, and before half-past ieleven;
the two sides which met at the corner wheaa ~the
fire began, were all in a blaze. At that timaAo
sight was grand beyond description ; the light w
seen from every part of the town. Thousands- flridie
to the place to witness the spectacle, and no fear;
than eight hackney coaches full •of • company had
drawn up beside Ancoats Bridge, from which .a,
full view of the building could be •obtained...a.
By half past twelve the roof of the building arid
the floors had all fallen in, and the remnants blazed
in one indiscriminated mass. The total amount rf
the damage we have heard stared at from 15,0001.
to 20,000/. but we should suppose this to be very much
under the mark. The counting-house has fortunately
escaped, and the engines remain uninjured. A consi‘
derable part of the patterns was also saved, by bring,
thrown into the canal. The large new Soho Foundry,
which is altogether separate from the part in which the
fire was, has.not been at all injured. Tke property wait
insured, but not to' any thing near the amount of .the
loss sustained. The cause of the accident is.not ascot...
