HUMANT. SuCIETY AT BoCLOGNE TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. s i n—Observing you have given me the credit of originating the Humane Society just established in this town, I feel it but an act of justice to state that, most ar d e ntly as I participate the feelings of my respected e o.operators in this benevolent undertaking, and anxious as I am, as an individual, to further the objects of the subscribers at large, I can feel no claimer to further share in a ny approbation of the project than as a partici pator. There is, as I can confidently vouch for the Promoters and ftiends of this charitable work, but one actuating spirit. Most gratifying is it to them to feel that their views are approved ; and to themselves is it the highest consolation to contemplate the great future good by which their exertions in this cause of Christian humanity are likely to be repaid. Their best thanks are alsoillue to the municipal authorities, to the whole resident medical faculty, and numerous of the most r espectable inhabitants, who have so cordially con curred in the approbation and furtherance of their plans. I have the honour to be, Btc. 13(i.logne-sur-Mer, Oct. 12, 1825. J. SYMONS. GENERAL SIR ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL. Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL, the Commander-in-Chief in the war :pion the Burmese, who has rendered such important services to his country by his eminent successes, first west to India in 3787, in the 77th, and after continuing there in active service during thirteen years, he purchased into the 88th, came borne in 1800, and lot upon the Staff of Sir T. NIAITLAND, and shortly after obtained a 3.lajority in one of the reserved Regiments. We find him next is the 71st, with which Regiment he went to Portugal, and served with Sit J. Monte till after the battle of Corunna, when he again returned home. His great skill in military tactics, and his known itrsonal intrepidity, occasioned hint to be selected by Marshal Lord BIGILVATORD as the most fir Officer to assist in organizing the licrtoguese Army on the bidsla system ; his distinguished merit raised him at this period to the rank of Lieutenant- General ; he served under Lord Elzalsroan till the close of the peninsular war, during the whole of which his services were most conspicuous, and he was, in consequence of them, created Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath by his bliazsrv, and a Knight of the Tower aad Sword by the King of Purruciac. When the Revolution broke out in that Kingdom, in 1820, he offered to quell it singly with 11:11 swat brigade of about three thousand men. But those who ruled in the absence of Marshal Beusroiw—who was with thq KING at Ili° Janeiro—had not that firmness of purpose which the promp acceptance of so spirited an offer required, and it was ,consequently not accepted. When the Cortes was appointed, they immediately ordered Sir Aaditiaaus out of Portugal, being aware of his info vice with the army, and being themselves desirous to be relieved from the presence of a man, the energy of whose mind •they feared to resist, and dared not venture to controul. lie returned again to India in 1821, in command of the 38th Regiment ; an he arriv4l, the Alarquis of HASTINGS placed him in the com mand Ilarrackpoor, in which station he remained, until he was sdected—for he was not the senior Officer—to the command of Barmese expedition. That he should have been so chosen, coergrLat credit to the Governor-General, Lord Minus; who In the good fortune to stand highest in the estimation of those by wkom he is best known.

We are informed that on investigating the Banker's account of a Joint Stock Company recently furmeJ, with a capital of 1(10,000/. and the shares of which Company were currently sold and bought on the Stock Escßange,it appeared that no more than 1471. bad ever been paid into the banking house. Accordi ng to private letters from Gibraltar of the 23 d ult. we learn that trade was rather improving there, and the granting if the Spanish licenses bad caused a eoniderable demand for British manufactures. The Seville letters are, however, as gloomy as usual, and confidence seems entirely destroyed there. The only Officer killed in the late action with the Burmese, was Captain ANDREW FRENCH, and a young accompl6hed soldier. The following testimony to his worth and valour in a letter to his father from General MACBEAN, is calculated to assuage the grief of Captain l'atscm's family Poor ANDREW, I have now to relate to y ou ( and melancholy to me is the task), was killed in the assault upon Arracan the 29th ultimo.

This morning, the first division of the 99th Regi ment, under the charge of Major Johnston, embarked in the Kains transport, Lieut. Burdwood, Agent, fur the Mauritius. The remainder of the Regiment, under Colonel Hardinge, will embark in the Southwotth, Lieut. Saunders, and Layton, Lieut. Lovett. The Kains will sail v. ith the first division, on Monday rnoining. • The Sovereign transport, Lieut. Kelso, will sail to morrow for Cork, to take the last division of the 42d Regiment thence to Gibi altar. Tuesday, the troops of this Garrison were brigaded in fi:ld orde►, on Southsea Common, by Major-General Sir James Lyon, consisting of about 1.600 men, com posed of the Royal Marine Artillery, Royal Marines, 53d, 67th, and 99th Regiments, whose various evolu tions and accurate formations elicited the warmest praises of the Major-General in General Orders. The m.litary scene afforded considerable gratification to numerous spectators. The Depot (hattaliorr) of the 67th Regiment. under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Ewart, C.B. was on Monday last, at Gosport, inspected Eay Major-Ge neral Sir James Lyon. K.C.B. who tua's pleased to express in the highest terms his entire approbation of their soldierlike appearance, together with the arrange ment of the interior economy of the battalion in all its departments. After the inspection the Major-General and his Staff, with several other Officers, partook of an elegant collation in the Officers' mess-room, at Forton. The Brazilian frigate Princess Royal, is daily ex pected to arrive at this port, from Rio Janeiro, for the purpose, it is said, of accompanying the Piranga, on her return to the Brazils, the latter having only 45 Por tuguese seamen an board. The Piranga is become in a totally disorganized state by the refractory conduct of her crew. SEAMEIv'S HOSPITAL. The state of this useful Charity should claim, at the present moment, the serious attention of the public, and should prompt its friends and supporters to im mediate measures in its behalf, if its existence be thought worthy to be continued. The funds of the Institution are now nearly exhausted, and this work of good and usefulness must soon cease to be prosecuted. should the liberality of the public be withholden, and the present appeal to its humanity be resisted. Since its first establishment in March, 1821, 5,537 British seamen, &c. have been admitted and relieved on board the hospital ship off- Deptford ; and at this moment there are .563 patients enjoying the comforts and expe riencing the blessings of this most unexceptionable and admirable Charity. The cause to which the dimi nution of its funds is mainly to be ascribed, is the in creasing number of applicants for.admission ; and a day scarcely passes without an application from sea men arriving in the river, either belonging to his Ma jesty's ships, or to merchant vessels, whose constitutions have been impaired by those .diseases and accidents to which the life of sailors, and the nature of their sea vice, render them peculiarly liable. We cannot doubt but that this faithful representation of the circumstances of the Charity, will have its due weight, and stimulate those who are connected in particular with the ship ping interests, and with the navy, as well as o:hers, to press forward in support of this great national cause— the cause of British seamen reduced to want, and suf fering from diseay. Captain J. DUNDAS COCHRANE, R.N. whose death at Valencia, South America, is announced, was per haps the most extraordinary pedestrian traveller upon record. At the conclusion of the general peace, he traversed on foot the countries of France, Spain, and, Portugal; and in 1820, he offered to undertake a jour ney into the interior of Africa, to explore the source of the Niger. To accomplish this object, it was even his intention to have sold himself as a slave to one of the owners of caravans travelling in that country,-- 1 The Admiralty, however, to whom he made the re quest, either from regard to the safety of his Iverson, pr because they considered such an expedition foreign to their department, were unfavourable to the plan.—He subsequently set out with an intention of travelling, round the globe, as nearly as it can be done by land, - crossing from Notthern Asia to America, at Behring's Straits—all this too, on foot, his circumstances ad mitting of no other mode. His leading object was to trace the shores of the Polar Sea along America, by land, as Captain PARRY is now attempting to do by sea. Having arrived at St. Petersburgb, and obtained letters of recommendation and protection from the Em peror ALEXANDER, be set out to traverse Siberia to Kamtschatka or Behring's Straits, but had 130 t pro ceeded far, when, as he was travelling through a forest, he was attacked by robbers, who first stripped him naked, and then left him tied to a tree, from which dis agreeable situation he was released by a boy, who hap pened to be passing that way. His ardour, however,, was by no means abated by this untoward circum- I stance, for he still pursued his journey, and after en- , countering incredible dangers, all of which ate fully described in his Pedestrian Tour, he succeeded in reaching Kamtschatka. While there, however, be be came fully aware of the impracticability of his plan, and returned to Europe. In the course of this exten sive journey, he states that he travelled upwards of 6,000 miles at the expense of only one guinea I This persevering and astonishing pedestrian traveller, was, nephew of that distinguished and respected Officer,. the Hon. Aslmiral Sir ALEX. I. COCHRANE.; G.C.B. We regret to add .to the other bank failures men tioned in onr laA, the firm of Messrs.

CANlrset.r., Colonel Commandant-in-Chief, and Deputy Adjutant General of his Majesty's Royal Marine Forces, reviewed, on Chatham Lines, the first division of that distinguished Corps, quartered at Chatham, when the following evolutions were performed, under the immediate command of Lieutenant-Colonel Sir JAMES 51at.cmat, K.C.B. with a precision and steadiness that drew for* the thanks of the Major-General. Indeed, the soldier like appearance of this remarkably fine body of men, was the admira tion of a large concourse of people, among whom were a great num ber of Militai y Officers of various Corp.

DREADFUL OCCURRENCE NEAR SCAR BOROUGH. -1.•,.-- A. poor, but well-disposed and industrious woman, of the name of Outhwaite, the wife of a shoemaker, residing at the village of Cloughton, near Scarborough, and the mother of four children, the youngest of which is but a few months old, having business at the latter place on Friday last, resolved to take home, for the use of herself and children, a small portion of an opening medicine. With this view, she called at a druggist's shop in Scatiscrough„ ordered the same, and said she would call for it before she left the town. It was ac cordingly weighed and placed ready for the poor wo.' man. In the interim, however, a farmer called at the same shop, and desired one ounce of arsenic to be weighed, and he would call for it in a short time. The dangerous mineral was also got ready according to order, and as a proper precaution, the word poison was written on the paper containing it; but, unfortunately, the two were placed together. The poor woman called the first for her medicine—she received the wrong packet—she could not read—she travelled home to her little family, the unsuspecting messenger of death. Soon after her return, she gave some of the arsenic to three of her hapless children, one of them eight years of age, the second sir, and the other only four. The poor woman also took a larger portion herself. Death now commenced his havoc, and the dreadful effects which always attend the taking of a deadly poison, were soon triumphant over the tender frames of the little innocents. The most excruciating agonies portended immediate dissolution ; and the miserable mother, forgetting her own bodily sufferings, whilst witnessing the pangs of her children, became an object a the most unqualified pity and boundless sympathy. No medical assistant was near, and still more strange, no one was sent for. Stupefaction, or distraction must have fixed upon the wretched parent ; and in that state, she beheld her three beloved children expire before her, the helpless victims of a mistake, which we are almost inclined to call criminal. Death, however, had not completed his work. The mother was still left, with her infant—her only surviv ing child—laid upon her lap, unconscious of it's parent's woe. She felt the pangs of approaching dissolution— but death had lost his terrors—he had become a wel -1 come messenger—the delight of her eyes had departed,. and, oh ! dreadful thought! she had been - the innocent agent. No medical adviser still was sail( for. She struggled with the foul destroyer till morning began to dawn, when about the hour of five, her wounded spirit took its flight to the eternal mansions, whither her chil. dren had departed. The infant, her only surviving child. we hear, is also I I its a dangerous state—it having unfo r tun a tely been suckled by the mother, after she had taken the poison. A C,oroner's Jury sat upon the bodies of the deceased; and, after a very minute Investigation into all the circumstances of the cue they delivered a verdict (as regarded each) of " Accidental Death.'' Saturday last, a melancholy accident happened to the Right Honourable Lord JAMS TOWNSEND. His Lordship was shooting on the Stiff Key estate, when unfortunately the gun burst, and shattered his lord ship's left hand dreadfully a it became necessary tame his Lordship immediately removed to his residence at Garrow, as it was feared amputation must take place. During a heavy squall of wind at Lytham, Lan cashire, on Friday last, a small boat, in which were two men, upset; one of whom, Jonathan Brake% clung some time to the hull, in which dreadful situation be was seen by two of his daughters, who endeasoored in vain to save him. The crew of *anther boat also at tempted to rescue him, but were unable to reach him before he sunk to rise nn more. They, however, sm• ceeded in bridling off re opposite balk about thirty individuals who were gathering cockles, and who wete thus saved from impending ruin.

Speaking of the comet, a correspondent of the Cork Chronicle says, that, on Sunday last, two Garnets were visible, of equil bril . liaacy, at the hoir of eleven at night, one nearly due South, the other S.S.F. of equal altitude; only one of these has been observed in Dublin, as far as we can learn. There imilsowever, a third comet, or nebulous appearatiCe resembling one, Whe constellation Taurus. Should it be a fact that three comets are altogether In oar system. it iN a circumstance worthy the attention of Astronomers.—Dukan Morning Post. The Comet that is now visible, and which some of the Journals consider as a sew one, is the same as that discovered on the 13th of July last, by M. Pons, at Marlia, and announced at that period. Since then it has been seen at Paris, and in all the observatories in Europe. Though very small when seen for the brat time, it-has, in approaching the sun,become considerably larger, and acquired sufficient light to be visible to the naked eye. Its tall is from three to four degrees long, and its motion continues to be very slow. It will be seen for some time, and when its brilliancy is not eefipsed by the light of the tneoo,it will be easily diaeovered near Taurus , in the East, where it ri sk about ter. o'clock in the evening, and con tinues visible throughout the night.—Paris Paper.
