At a General Court Martial reassembled at Cawn.. pore on the std day of June. 1828, private John Joyce, of Captain Aothew's company, his Majesty** 38th regiment, was arraigned el, the following charges— . 4 For mutiny, In having, about nine o'clock in the morning of the 11th of April, 1828, at Cavralpore, in the quarters of Lieutenant and Adjutant Campbell, his Majesty's sSth regiment, attempted the hie of the said Lieutenant and Adjutant Campbell, by present. int at him a musket loaded with powder and ball, and drawing the trigger, when the priming burnt in the pan.

Upon which charges the Court came to the following decision : 'I he Court having maturely deliberated upon the evidence be for,: them, are of opinion that the prisoner; private John Joyce, Capt. Matthew's company, his Majesty's .18thjlegiment, is guilty of both the charges exhibited against him. The Court having found the prisoner guilty of both the charges exhibited against him, and the same tieing in breach of the articles of war, do sentence him, the prisoner, private John Joyce, Captain atthew's torn piiy, his 51ajesty . . 38th Regiment, to suffer death, by bring shot to death by musketry, at such time and place as his Excellency the Cuniminder in Chief may be pleased to direct. Approved and confirmed, (Sigurd) COM BER M E 13E, Gen. Commander-in-Chief. Nelnalks Oy the flight Hon. the Cornmandsr•in-Chief. The gross act of mutiny, and the cool and deliberate attempt at the murder of his Officer, of which crimes private John Joyce has been found guilty, can only be expiated by the execution of the sentence which has been justly passed upon him. The Commander in-Chief has bad frequent occasions to prove that the notations of the service to which the prisoner belongs, whereby redress is Atm sled to every soldier who considers himself aggrieved by his Officer, have been scrupulously complied with ; a supposed grievance, if it had incited the prisoner to the acts for which he has been condemned to death, could not therefore have palliated his climes. as he must bare known that redress was open to him, by an appeal either to his Commanding Officer or the General Officer as the station But his Excellency is satisfied, from his knowledge of the character of the Officer whose life has been hued in such imminent danger, that no real cause for revenge , could have existed; he is therefore led to believe that the act must have suggested itaelf to the prisoner, as be hiraself states to his defence, when he was stupified by four or five days' enatinued messier drinking, though it does not appear in evidence that he was iniusicated at the moment. at must, however, he well known that drunkenness, by which a man voluntarily deprives himself of his reason, is a vice which rasher aggravates that diminishes the criminality of any illegal act which may follow it. As an awful example to others, there fore, of the effects of habitual excessive drinking, his Ex cellency directs that the sentence of death to which this man has been condemned shell be carried into execution in conformity with.' warrant and instruction transmitted for the purpose to Major-General Sir S. F. Wbittingham; and that this General Oider shall immediately after its receipt be read at the bead of every regimm of his Majesty's service in India ;.and on the follow ing they at the head of every troop or company in the ssrtica To pre,. tit the commission or such atrocious crimes of which the yri,oner bn been found guilty, his Excellency desires that, in all uses where a soldier may be discovered to have exceeded the bounds of sobriety, be may be placed in confinement. and kept there until lie is perfectly restored to reason. Had this precau tannery measure been attended to in the present case, the life of a fellow creature would, in all probability, have been saved, and the Commander in Chief would have been relieved from tbe perform ace of a p ,inful duty.

It being Impossible that the Portuguese emigrants should remain longer in the depot, as the Government of his Britannic Majesty a ill not consent to their stay, it becomes rocessary for them to depart from this coun try, and adopt a resolution in co, fomity with the in wrests of their country, and with that noble elevation of sentiment which led to such generous sacrifices and such an honourable emigration. H 2. It belongs to the character of his Majesty the august father of the Lady Donna Maria 11. to cut the knot which violently arrests the natural course of events in the states of his august daughter; and it is particu larly the duty of the brave defenders of the Portuguese libeities, and of the rights of their young Q teen, to concur in so generous a resolution. Only in the capital of the august Emperor, so lately King of Portug al— only in the bosom of a nation, the sister of that of Por tugal, will the faithful subjects of Donna Maria II find not barely hospitality, but a friendly welcome, brotherly kindness, protection, an& above all, abundance of re sources, and a large and solid basis for operations,which mu4t secure the acknowledgment in our country of the rights trampled upon by the spirit of faction and by usurpation.

"THOMAS G. STUUBS, Lieutenant-Gaunt." NEWCASTLE, Die. 9. Considerable anxiety has been felt in this toe*: during the past week, in consequence of Mr. Thomas Gibson, the Comptroller of the Customs, and eldest son of the latelenjamin Gibson, E q. of this town, having left his own house, near the Leazes, on Sunday afternoon, the 30th of November, and not returning home again.— Every search was made without effect till about three o'clock on Saturday afternoon last. when he weal discovered in a conduit on the Town Moor, leading into the enclosure called the Bulls' Park. The straw hat he had on had been found on Monday or Tuesday in the Bulls Park. W. Fie, Esq. the Coroner, held an invest on the body at Mr. Lax's, the herd's house, between six and seven o'clo: k in the evening of Satur day, when Jerome Bombelli, Isaac Golightly, Mr. Scott. clerk of St. Andrew's, Sarah Turnbull, Wm. Hall Jahn Iyaict, and Wm. Tate, Nereexamined. substanceor the evidence was, that Mr. Gibson was at church on Sunday morning—he afterwards put on old clothes to as. oast his servant in cleaning the yard, which was much flooded with wa.er —be lett his own nouse between four and five o'clock in the afternoon, wither t an umbrella, when. it was raining, and was never seen afterwards—his bat was found on Monday or Tuesday in the Bulls Park, but that his body was not found and taken ou; of the conduit leading into the Bulls' Park till a few mi nutes before three o'clock on Saturday afternoon. As it was shown that the Moor was dreadfully flooded by the heavy rams that fell on Sunday, and that the open ing of the conduit extended about three feet from the pound, it seems probable that Nlr.Gobson met his death uy getting, through mit.ike, in the dark, into the line of the cbtiduit, and that by the great violence of the current he was thrown down and forced along the conduit before he could recover himself. This seemed to be probable, mote especially from the evidence of Wstalall, a ha ick layer, who said that if a person once got it.to the from its great impetuosity. he thought he could not escape; however desirous he might be to save himself. The likelihood of this was increased by the facts, that the body was found 400 or 500 yards from the opening of the condnit, and so tightly fixed in that it was some minutes before it could be borced out. There were small wounds on the head also, as if they had been produced by coming in contact with the rugged and uneven stones at the top or botom of the conduit. Toe Jury found their verdict as f :flows:—e l On Saturday, the 6th day of Dec. inst. the body of Thomas Gibs-m, who had been missing since Sunday last, was found drowned and suffocated in a certain conduit situate upon the Town Moor in tke parish of Saint Nicholas, in the town and county cf Newcastle upon Tyne ; that the said Thomas G bson had no marks cf violence appealing on his body otherwise than might be occasioned by his having passed a considerable space along the conduit, and that the Jurors are of opinion the said Thomas Gibson had fallen into the entrance of the said conduit, and be- Cann swept away by tie violence of the fin 'd, which at that time prevailed in consequence of a long and col.einued rain which had been falling ma Saturday and Sunday last." Mr. abson, when found, was very little altered in his appearance.* lie was in his sixty-third year ; was a man of a mild and inoffensive character, and very charitable to the poor.—Tyne Mercury. Tuesday evening, Mr. James Lamb, of Harbottle, surgeon, left his wife and family, and did not return l Next day the whole neighbourhood was upon the alert, in search cf him, when his lifeless body Was found the river Coquet, near to Sharperton. The unfortunate , Gentleman, it appears, had been one of a party in fishing f kipper. Atter enjoying himself in that favourite amusement, he next joined a card party at Allentoo, which he is said to have left in a state of intoxication; and, on his road home, it is supposed he fell into the river, which being ( much swollen with heavy rains, car ried his body a nide and a half below Harbottle.— Verdict—Accidental Death.

WESUINSTER GENERAL DISPENSARY, OIMARD-sTRIET, SONO. • • The Annivefsary Dinner 4this ins'itulon took place yesterday, at the Freemason , ' Taye , n, when Vic,- Ad miral Sir JOSEPH Vaasa, 11. F. fill-d the Chair. The dinner—an exceedingly substantial one—hawing t emit concluded, and the healths 4 the Royal Family drank in the usual manner. the Chairman rose to propose " Prosperity to the Westminster Ge eral Disrens.iry.. and in doing so, he took au opportunity of remaking 'in the excellence of ihislnstitui ion, and of expressing his re gret, that in crnsequence of the number f necess sty ex penses which had been incurred, and of the great falling off in subscriptions, the funds were in an extremely hau,ted state, so much so that the Dispensary might almnst:be considered to be on its last legs, unless some very t zfraordinary exertions were m ide by the public to assist it. Under these circumstances, the Gallant Chair man called on the partypresent to come forward liberally to prevent so excellent a charity from going to min; or, in his own expressive words, he desired them to thrust their hands to the bottom of their pocket, and pull them out with something sticking at the end of heir fingers—in fact, to fork out the blunt at once—an example which the worthy Chairman did not fail to set himself, for, as it afterwa , ds appear-A, he accom panied his appeal to others with a handsome donation himself. The heal , hs of the Patrons, President, Vice Presi dentg, and other officers the institution, were then drank; after which a report on the state of the Dis. pessary was then read by the Chairman, by which it appeared that since the found.ti in of the institution, in 1774, 2274°6 patients had been admitted, and that, notwithstanding the declining state of the funds, 6,171 patients had been a twitted within the last year. 1+ then we. t to state the cireum•tances under whi h the diminution of the funds had taken place; and in coa clu•ion expressed a hope on the part of the Governrir, and Subscribers that instant aid would be afforded by the donations of the pahlic, without which, it added, it would be impossible for the Institution to exist much longer. The donation of the Chairman was farmed by many others from different individuals present, and in the course of the es ening a handsome subscription was raised. The party did not break up until a la•it hour. MEM 4 misiiiil TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. --wain .-- Stn—ln this enlightened age, when man is so deeply employed in searching inn the hidden paths of science, and in bringing to pelf tion every as ful diecoveiy, whether in art or in net-re—at a period, for example, when man laughs at the pineal steed, and tells him to go an.t frolic in the meadow., frr that he has now no longer want of him, and substitutes in his stead his mechanical discoveries in vapour to convey his chariots along—at a time when genius rushes beneath the bois terous Thames, and bind. up its unwieldy body with a girdle, to obtain beneath it a clear and firm passage for the ease and luxury of man—how is it, I ask, that dif ficulties and contrivances of such magnitude are every day overcome, and which seem to require the greatest exertion of the mind, while many are sinking under private calamities which the most common sense and one moment of reflection might do away with ? There is one deplorable accident in particular. to which I would wish, were it permitted me, to call the attention of your female reiders—l mean that of being buent to death by the wearing apparel accident Illy taking fire. It every winter occurs that several females are burnt to death, or perhaps dreadfully disfigured for the te. mainder of their lives by theirolothes taking fireeoust the fatally of 04 accident is entirely owing to the want of reflection, and the ignorance of the nature of file. A woman always carries about her person he. defence against this calamity—a petticoat, a hether flannel, cotton, or camlnie muslin, if drawn up and wrapped close round her shoul•fers, will not fa•l, by minding the air, to extinguish the filmes. If any rne should doubt of the efficacy i t this plan, let th. m take a, block r f wood or some o her object, throw around it any gown they please, set it on fire, and let the flames make as great a progress as they may think might very probably happen before a female could turn her atten• Lion to it; they will then find, by taking a petticoat And wrapping it tolerably close round the ohkct, the fire will almost immediately be subdued. With one and the same old cambric muslin petticoat I extin guished the flames upon a figure more than a dozen times running. to effect which I covered it in a very hurried and careless manner, for the purpose of con vincing myself c f the efficacy of this plan in the mo ment r f confusion and alarm. The ab •ve method I only cropose as a resource when no other is at hand ; but should, for example, a Tema e set fire to her clothes in her bed room, airy part of the bed clothe', whether count rpane, blanket, or sheet, would, with the least presence of mind, make her as secure against all din. ger as if a bath was standing ready, or a fountain was playing in the room. Hoping these few li et, addressed for the benefit of females, by one of their own sex, will ' meet with a reception in your Paper, I am, Sir. Your obedient servant and constant reader. A. M.

There was, perhaps, no &seri . ti rn r f pro perty so liable to be pillaged as that of copylight, and more par: icul %sly so when the iron ks happened tot be es tremely popular, as was the case in the present in ranee. The works of Lord Byron, or at leant that p..rti.to or them of which the plaintiff had the copy iAht, were very popular ; and the phi tiff in order to accommodate tf e public, and to benefit the trade, hol published a cheap edition, which was soli for 184.
