M is.—His Majesty has been pleased to approve
of the 65th Real ment of Foot bearing on its colours and appoint-
; meats. In additi3u to any other badges or derives which say
time heretofore been grapted to the Regiment, the words—
" Douro" and " Peninsula," in'ootireerooration of the distin•
goislied conduct of the late 4d Hattalion of the Regiment In the
passage of the Douro, In the month of May, 1b69, and of its
services in the Peninsula under Field•Stirshal the Duke of
Wellington, from sth April, 1809, to 111th July, MIL

e yielded to the enggestion—to lite express condi.
.4 that the following notice should be raid from the put-
i upon the occasion :
2. The Committeeof Salteril Hall feel it their duty pub-
/gyp explain that they have prevailed upon Dr. Collyer
Ibis afternoon to suffer the pulpit to be occupied by an-
other Minister, from regard to his own delicate situation, 1
eadbecause it has been impossible to meet upon the emer-
.Eonof the moment, the inqairirs of tbe public relative to
,as unexpected as it is injurious. Dr. Collyer, the
tit he arrived In Loudon. gave instructions for the
neeit-prompt and decisive measures to be adopted, that the
41liele matter should be thoroughly sifted; and, with a
ciousness of innocence, had hilly intended meeting a
public, always dear to him oo every occasion. .
.0' In yielding in the present instance to the judgment of
*kers, be desires it to be understood, that he metres no teat-
sweelsms relative to any possible accusation; that the only
thittalties which-bay* occurred in tilt case, havi arisen
frisk the impracticability of reducing •to a tangible shape.
Iteineations which are nevertheless most destructive of cba-
raCtstee—and that every effort is making, in every direction.
at a tamscinsion as satisfactory as
.the nature .1
a wiR allow."
On Sunday (17th).--This statement was duly read from
the Pulpit of Salters' Hall Meeting ~ and the Doctor
being prevented from preaching at Hanover Chapel, by
the unfinished state of the repairs, employed himself in
drawing up a detailed statement, to be laid before the
Trustees, at their expected Meeting, In the ensuing week.
On Monday (18th.)—The Doctor forwarded the follow-
ing nets to the Trustees of Hanover Chapel :—" The cause
of religion, of the society of Hanover Chapel, and of Dr.
Collyer, lying under charges so affecting, as those which
are circulating against him, requires of the Trustees, that
they should meet to bey the statement which he will trans-
mit, as to-facts, so far as they are known to bins, and to
judge for themselves as to their hearing upon the •ccusa-
tions—that some decision may come before the public. To
this he earnestly claims their attention, and requests them to
meet with such friends as they may think proper to-morrow
evening."

ander which the Rev. Divine how mostsentrly suffers, that
of the evening was necessarily more interesting, from the
singular coincidence by which it was cheacterised; and,
whilst we observed in the Doctor a studious endeavour to
avoid any direct allusion to his own situation, dull to ust have
been that mind; callous tho,e feelingi, which failed in mat-
ing every eenteoce an argument against the cruel. unmanly
and impalpable rumours of disgrace and obloquy by which he
is beset, and whose effects are only the more lamentable in
proportion to the tangible nature of the cense.
Wi are informed upon unquestionableauthority, that Dr.
Collyer did not Irate his house in 4114ington Square, Cam-
entil the expiration of, his seven years' lease, at
alitlsurnuter last, although for two years previously he tail
endeavoured to dispose of the lease, in consequence of the
increaslog dampness of the situation; and the almost er the
occupation of his tinie by the incredibly numerous epistles-
tions for.medieal advice and pecuniary aid. The public may
therefore judge of the credit to be attached to. statements
meat unwarrantably made la some of the daily papers, that
such departure took place In consequence of the foul charge
since preferred.
It is a most important circa:Potion: skit in -tits Yu"
omit iihrre the4ciiil charge is 'aid to have originated.
the Decter his, from the moment of his arrival in town,
received the most gratifying proofs of unaltered attachment.
The attendance at Hanover Chapel yesterday was of itself
conclusive as to the disbelief of the respectable frequenters
of that place of worship of the shameful charge, so much
more shamefully circulated ; and those who witnessed the
affectionate conduct—who beard the soul soothing heni-
sena of the crowd who thronged the Chapel door last night
as the Doctor left the Vestry for his carriage, cannot but
fail its their attempts to do justice to the impressive solent.
nity of the scene, and the candour, liberality, and ju,tiee
of a public who ever believe a man innocent until me he
proved guilty, and who will not consider him criminal
against whom no substantial charge his been advanced.
We have seen the affidavits of the pirtiet upon who e
reports the rumours in tirculaion a e said to have originat-
ed; they are depositions respecting surgical examinxtid•is
entered into by the Doctor—two of the depositions twill f of
the parties examined, and the third a witness of 'one ut the
examinations; the fact alleged and admitted is one tvhich
does honour to the humanity of the Rev. Divine, against
whom it is made the fouddation stone of rumours the moot
revolting and injurious.

On Tuesday (19th) —The Doctor performed funeral ser.
vice at Vauxhall Chapel, at two o'clock, and at three to tk
the chair, as President cf the Green Coat School Charity,
Toalerstreet, at the Montpelier Gardens, Walworth, and
at six o'clock the Meeting of the Trustees of Hanover Cha-
pel took place ; when, upon reading certain depositions.
and finding the vague and indefinite nature of the reports
in circulation, they rime to a determination that there was
no charge against Dr. Collyer which it was at all neces.
miry for him to anseer, declined reading a written state-
ment which had been tendered them by the Doctor, and
gave orders that immediate public notice should be given
that the Chapel would open on the following -Sunday, and
that the Doctor would preach there morning and eveninr.
as usual. On Wednesday 00th) the Doctor held a consol-
tation with Counsel, as tothe measure most advisable to he
taken under the circumstances.
On Thursday (21st) Doctor Collver preached an anni-
versary sermon in the morning, at Paradise Chapel, Cliel-
*ta, to a numerous congregation, and whose charitable con-
' tributions exceeded the usual amount.
On Friday, (2221) two of the three depoiitions now before
the public were prepared from the voluntary statement of
the parties to a solicitor, by whom they had been laid
before the Trustees of Hanover Chapel on the preceding
Tuesday, and the third from a party not previously exa-
mined. The Doctor this day drew up the statement which
is before the public.
On Saturday (230x?Tbo tle--pcwitioas were sworn before
'h Me strate, ana the statement published and circulated.
This day the depositions and statement were laid before
the Committee of Salters Hall Meeting, and in the evening
Dr. Collyer received from them the following commun.
cation:—

Commission in the Dorsetahlre Regiment of Militia, signe4 by
the Lord Lieutenant of the County of Dorset.
Heberden Finder Emery, Gent. to be Ensign, vice Cook,
promoted.

We think the follo.wing a complete answer to the culomny,
respecting the Doctor's leaving his house in A I,litivuu
Square:
"'(be Dotter held the house on a term of 7, 14, or 2!
years, detertninsble at the option of the occupier, or tsi.:
months' notice; this notice the thictor gave through nis
solicitor, Mr. Russel, of !Ant Street, Borough, at Corist:
Inas last t the occurrence with which the rumour is foonded
having taken place five months afterwards. A hoard far
letting the Loose was up at least a year previous to A.:-
, summer last." .

ALARMINU FIRM.
-ataiesie:-U
. . Omen *en BRIGHTON HERALD)
On Monday morning, at two o'clock, tida town win
thrown into considerable alarm by the ringing. of the h.-I',
indicaing that a tire had broken out at No. 11, East Ciilf.
which was crowded with lodgers, 17 in nitinlwr. Mrs.
Barbara Brown, of Richmond, and Miss Neat?, each occu-
pied a bed-room on the first floor, and the fire commenced
Ii that of the former. Mr. Thomas, of New Boswell Cour',
Lincoln's Inn, with his wife, two children, and servants,
mwnpied the drawing room and test of the Image. Owing
to illness Miss Neste was fortunately awake, and heard a
crackling in the room adjoining, upon which she got trr,
and upon meeting Mrs. Brown on the teethe, place, those
ladles immediately alarmed the hous', and Mr. 'fliontsr,
who slept in a two
.pair of stairs room, on being earmed,
rushed to the opposite one, where his two children slept,
with their nursemaid, and which was immediately over
the room on fire; the door bring locked, he forced it open,
and found that the nurse and the children had gone to the
window and opened it for air, as the room was suffocating-
ly hot. Taking the children in his arms, Mr. '1110111.13 at-
tempted to escape down stairs, but from the flumes and
smoke issuing from Mrs. Brown's room, lie found it im-
practicable. He returned, therefore, to his own bed rrum,
and, tying the sheets together, and to the cot of them a
chair, placed, in the latter, the maid and one of the chil-
dren, and began to lower them from the window to the
cliff; the night was very dark, and, unfortunately, the leg
of the chair breaking into the drawing room window, it
was partially upset, and the maid and child precipitated 13
the vround, but, we are happy to add, without their sus-
taining any injury. The maid having assured the anxious
father the child was unhurt, Mr. Thomas next proceeded to
lower hie wife and the other child in the same manlier; but
this service, owing to Mrs. Thomas having lost the till of
her limbs from rheumatism, was of a more difficult charac-
ter. Mr. T. with great difficalty, succeeded In placing her
with the child in the Chair; but in lowering them, was un-
able to clear the leg of the chair from the drawing- room
window. From this distressing dilemma, the parties wert-
relieved by the intelligence that Mr. Bradshaw, the
tenant of the house, had succeeded in extinguishing the
fire. Mrs. Thomas, whose hands and knee were cut hy
the glass, and severely grazed by the bricks, and tier chil 1,,
were then drawn up by Mr. T. who carried them Jowls.

/dieted, and the damage to property amounted .to about
fifty pounds.
ANOTHER FißE.—On Wednesday night, a fire broke out.

which a lady was reading, setting fire to the 'Curtains:—
Fortunately it was soon got under, and without inflicting
any material damage.
PIRIC AT WARNHAMI, MLitt ii6isHAm.—A dreadful fire
broke out about eleven o'clock onThuesday se'nnigtit, at
the farm-horse of Mr. Henry Nipper, at Warnham, near
Horsham. The fainily bad. just retired to bed, when the
servant maid hearing a crackling. noise, was induced to
get up and look out of the•window.; she could see nothing.
and again went to bed. She was alarmed twice afterwards .
by the noise, and looked out; the last time she opened the •

served. from the flumes.

" The Committee and Trustees of Salters' Hall Meeting,
respectfully acquaint Dr. Collyer that having met this day,
they have unanimously come to the Resolution, of which a
copy is enclosed—
" Resolved, That this Meeting adjourn to Thursday
next; meanwhile they request Dr. Collyer to suspend his
services at Salters' Hall.

Yesterday (Sunday, 24th) Dr. Collyer preached at Hano-
ver Chapel, in the morning, to a most respectable congrega-
tion, crowded to excess; a large proportion of which con-
sisted of females, from Psalm xxtx. v. 10.—" The Lord
sitteth upon the flood—the Lord sitteth King for ever." It
is supposed that not less than 500 persons were unable to
obtain admission. Although the Rev. Gentleman did not
specifically allude to his peculiarly trying situation, yet the
applicability of the principles of the above passage, and the
sentiments advanced upon them, could not have escaped
observation.

In the evening the Doctor preached to a still more
crowded auditory from a most appropriate and striking
passage from the 23d chap. of Job, ver. 10 :—" lint he
knoweth the way that I take: when he bath tried me, I
shall come forth as gold."
In order to obviate, as we suppose, an opinion that might
have obtained with the auditory, that the Doctor intended
making his peculiar case the stthject of his discourse, the
Reverend Gentleman introduced the text with the following
observations:—" I have bad no personal choice in the
selection of this passage, nor has any being living on the
face of the earth: A dear friend, whom I have known for
npu ards of 30 years, finished his earthly career about a
fortnizlit since; and among whose papers, a letter was
found directed to be delivered to me immediately after his
decease. This letter I shall now read to you—lt is dated
in the month of March, ISlB."—The Doctor then read the
following letter:—
" Before this reaches you, my spirit will have left its
shattered hovel—mounted aloft; and yoar unworthy friend
(I trust) have joined the celestial choir above, casting his
crown prostrate in adoration, at his Redeemer's feet, sing-
ing loud hosannas to God and to the Lamb for ever ! No
more a captive—my tears for ever wiped away—glorious
change! near my God and Saviour.
" Every way abhorring myself in dust and ashes, I
fly to Jesus for salvation, there alone resting my hope,
not as a reward, bat as a sinner ransomed by blood
divine.

" I have two petitions to ask of yon ere I go hence :
knowing my own worthlessness—'tis not for. you to pay a
tribute to departed excellence; bat to the friend who living
loved yon.
" Ist. that you follow my corpse to its quiet grave. and
there (if not drop a tear) speak a few consolatory admoni-
tions to the few attendant friends, who, well knowing, held •
me dear to the last.
" 2dly. That on the following Sabbath you improve my
departure (informing some pus of them of the time and
place) from words that have afforded me the greatest coin•
tort.—Job. e. xxiii, v.lO.
" 1 POW, toy deer and. much valued friend, hid you finally
farewell, until we meet. face to face (II glorious hunrl).
where Jesus is.--51areb 4, 1819.'
I complied with the first of theite reqnes's, by cons.
milting. him 10 tits ground on -Tuesday Last; •and I am
her.• this evening to discharge the last to the best of toy
ah ty.
If the sentiments elicited by the principlei of the morn
ing's '.ext necessarily bore upon the trying circumstances
