I 1- • • ••• et eras opposed td the pthietple on which military flogging pro eeedede••• Torture inflicted nem thebotly wined never prevent men il front rat ting crimes; it only produced obstinacy in the sufferer, and a spirit of brutal revenge. His objectlon was, that the PUnl t was ac once cruel and ineffective. Other and milder nmaiarea eould - sjett he too soon carried into execution. Mr. MON CK was opposed to the system of corporeal punish ment. It was admitted that the practice had diminished within the last twenty jest's, and be did not hear, anywhere, that the disci pline of ' the army bad fallen off in consequence. The fink of our system was, thet we held out ton few rewards to the soldier, and so -'were compelled to use compulsion to induce him to do his duty.— In France, where commissions were liven ouM-ionally to private soldiers, and where to be dismissed from a regiment was conies fluently a loss, the use of the lash did not appear to be found neces sary : and it had been also dispensed with in a regiment of our own (:he Blue') in svhictiettere,was a fund instituted to reward *wady etesdoer.--e-The . 1100Inethen went into a Committee. Lord PA LEI EItSTON adverted to one point of the I lon. Gentle man', argument—that of the tight of the Crown to dismisr Officers without the intcrvention of a Court-blartial. Upon that subject the opinion of l'arlianventhad been most elearty declered, that it was an inherent prerogative of the Crown, necessary for the preservation of the Constitution. As to the arrears of pay iu the cases of solitary imprisonment, they went to the stock-purse of the regiment, to defray the expenses of recruiting, hospitals, and other tiller,. The punish ment of Begging was ancient—lt was derived front the Roman army to the Ilritish. It was necessary not only to the discipline of the Army, but to take that power awayfr 1111 l the prerogative would be to endanger the Constitution. The observations on foreign dis cipline must be taken with some allowance. The French army had not the punishment of fl .gging, but they were less tenacious of life; surely no •one could wish to see capital punialiments increased • in the British Army. While h was with the Army of Occupation in France, he heard of several own of the Russian force) dying from the severity of flogging. In the Prussian army there were two thassee Ott the first offence the men were degraded to the second Item the first, in which they were not subject to corporal punish meat, In the second class they Were subject to stripes, whi , il ware graduated by a scale: an Ensign could inflict ten, a Lieu tenant t renty, a Captain thirty, a Major forty, and so on.- - This was not the discipline to be desired for the Britirl Army : he differed, in short, on fundamental grounds front the proposition of the Honourable Gentleman. The power of the Crown to order *and dispose of the farces by sea and land bad been repeatedly mid constantly recognized by Statute. To interfere with that power iii the details of the Army, was nothing less than a gross abuse of the powers of Parliament. Mr. lIUME moved a clause for abolishing corporal punishment Idtegether; anything in the Bill to the contrary notwithstanding. The Committee divided on the clause — Woe the motion, 94 I Against it, 50 I Majority against the clause, 26. .The Bill passed through the Committee. Report to .be brought up on Wednesday veto.

The debate upon this subject was resumed, when several more Gentlemen delivered their sentitudits; but• nothing new was ad vanced. Sir G. 11f11071811N was persuaded that the C•smpany received great benefit* from the system pursued in the College • but he was satis fied that it required much improvement.

MR. CLINCH AND TIIR EDITOR OF THE DLIDLIN ANTIDO2E. Tuesday, Mr. Laurence Clinch, accoinpankd by several Gentle men, attended at the Police Office, College-street, Dublin, in conse quence of a summons Mr. Clinch had received therefrom to answer a complaint preferred against him by Dr. Lithgow, Editor of a Wqrkly Newspaper called the ifitlittvee, fat violently assaulting him. Dr. Lithgow said , that on Saturday morning two persons called at his lodgings in French-street, and inquired for him; that they were shewn up stairs to his apartments; that one of the persons (Mr. Clinch) asked hint if he W.ll the Editor of the .datidvie t to which he answered in the affirmative; he then requiresrto know if he was the author of a certain article that appeared in the Artledute lately, casting reflections upon him (Mr. Clinch)? be (Or. Lith gem) said he was not ; he was then asked, did he know the author?' he said he did; he was then asked to give his name, which he re fused, saying that it was not custojhuy to do anything of the kind, whereupon Mr. Clinch called him a ruflan, a scoundrel, and a ras cal; and struck him several times, whilst the person who was along with Air. Clinch placed his back against the door. The Magistrates having intimated a desire to hear Mr. Clinch's defence, Mr. Clinch, in answer to the statement of the complainant, merely said—" I did so." Alderman Ftesusio asked Mr. Clinch whether there were any Gentlemen in attendance to give the neceuarybail Mr. John Byrne, of Eustsce-nreet, and Mr. Thomas Chamber lain, belth eminent merchants, then came forward, and said they were ready to enter into any security that might be required.

Davy and six Members of the Royal Society, several eminent Civil Engineers W. J. JoUiffe and N E. Wakes, Esqrs. the Contractors, and 15 Al dermen. When the cloth was removed, and the health of the King, the Duke of York, and the test of the ltoyal Family had been given and received with enthusiastic applause, the Chairman gave that of the Earl of Liverpool. Although in exercising the right of an Eng lishman, he (the Lord Mayor) might often have expressed opi nions at variance with those which were known to be entertained by the Noble Lord, he was not the less disposed to give his Lord ship credit for just and honourable motives, nor was he the less gratified at witnessing the ptesent mark of respect and attiotion which his Lordship had shewn to the City of London. They might both be taking different roads to reach the same point, but the aim was the same ; the hamar and prosperity of the country—(Cheers). The toast was drunk with the greatest applause. Lord Lavaareoz returned thanks, and said he should be ashamed if he had at Atli time felt anythbig like personal hostility towards one with whom he differed in political sentiments. He was always ready to give his opponents in politics full credit for the sincerity of their motives, and be was convinced a corresponding feeling would be exercised towards Wni—(Applause). No one more fully recog nised the right of the People to express their opinion on all public measures than he did, and it would be Inconsistent with the avowed recognition of such right to entertain any personal animosity or dis esteem. The Noble Earl concluded by proposing, in the most hand some terms, the health of the Lord Mayor, who returned thanks. The Loan hlaros afterwards gave the health of Sir 11. Davy. Sir H. Darr retbrned thanks in a speech which excited the greatest applause. Ile reminded - the Corporatioa that the Royal Society originated from one of their institutions, the Gresham Com mittee.

It was in the City that great architect projected the improvement of the streets after the fire of London. Ile was happy that there was now an opportunity of renewing the con nection t etween the Corporation and the Royal Society—Meat, hear, hear). Works of the description to which this meeting referred were calculated to make men love their country. Pericles had, by monuments of such a nature, made Athens the centre of at traction in the then civilized world. He bad expended 4000 ta lents in the erection of buildings, which existed to the present day, and coinrlbuted.to preserve the spirit of the inhabitants are perm nius. The old enthusiasm of Greece was by this means lighted up in an its splendour, and the success of her spirits svoold, he trusted, prove tliat her vigour was unbroken, although not roused "HI after the interval of ages—(Great applause). Augustus too was aware of this mode of adding to the natural love of country. —IS was said of him that he found Rome brick, and left it in marble. Even new in ruins, it was the wonder of the world.— lie expressed a hope that this would be but the commencement of a series of monuments that ..eould endure longer than those either of Rome or Athens, and Perpetuate the public spirit of Englishmen, and their high eminence in the Arts—(Continued cheers.) The evening was spent in the utmost conviviality and harmony, nor did the company separate until two o'clock in the morning. EXECUTION OF DANIEL Glll/./SIIIRIL—.This wretched man, who received sentence of death at the Reading Assizes, on Tuesday lad, for the,murder of his, infant child, by pouring boiling water into its mouth, was executed on Thursday. The prisoner made a full confession of his guilt, whh all the circumstances at tending its perpetration ; from which it appeared he had meditated the crime for several weeks, iu which period he thrice attempted to carry itinto execution, but his courage had as often failed him. Thutsday afternoon, a very respectable woman, at Cowden, apparently In perfect health, while crossing tire street, suddenly fell, and on examination was found completely lifeless. — No cause whatever can - be assigned for her sudden death. She was rather past . the middle age of fife, and in good health. A short time since, a woman in Ilartfield had the brutality to bang her owu child by his neck to a beam in tht: kitchen, in order as she said to terrify him, but had not a neighbour come in and cut him down, he would in a few minutes have been dead. The woman is thought to be partially insane.
