NAtY PAY AND PROMOTION. -••- TO THE EDITOR OF TIM STAR. PANS, SICPT. 28. Mr. EDITOR—Your very sensible remarks on naval matters deserve the thanks of every Officer, and indeed eve: - T Ir is the business of not only Lord MXLVILLS, but the of Witu.tbGrow, to keep the Oflicets and seamen i ll good humour. The latter have had increase of pay an.! p °vision given them, and many other indulgencies they h a tight to expect; but, compared with the Oflic r of the Army, Ordnance, and Marines, the Naval Officei has been shamefully neglected. The Post List at this mvmeut shows. that the Officers at thr head of it have been twenty-nine years there, on I 63. a day. The eldest Colonel in the army, fit for set vice, was only made so in 1819! I Is this just and equitable ? Why not permit a certain number of the seniors in the navy, either to retire on a small addition to their half pay, or permit them to sell their commission., as the ordnance and marine corps have done, to Officers in the army. This a mild cost the Government nothing, and be a great boon to an old Officer with a family to provide for. Lord Ma.vmust, I hope. his gained experience by his temporary retirement from the Admiralty, but the navy expect little or nothing tnrough Iris exertions: Let the Prime Minister remember the mutiny of 1797, and by affn ding comfort to the officers of the navy, make it a profession for a Gentleman. I have no hesitation in saying, that daily the navy is declining, and those Officers who speak candidly will agree with me, that there is no longer that spirit and energy amongst the Captains who served in the late war. An absurd regu• Lotion of Lord Mer.viuda, I am sorry to say his Royal Highneis the Duke of CLARRNCE also acted upon— viz. not to employ any but the first 100 Captains ._in line of battle ships, and no Captain of less than fifteen years standing in frigates—the consequence has bs en that 300 officers on the most efficient part of the list have been for ten years without the smallest chance, of employment; and I say the most efficient, because roost of ihose•Gentlemen commanded frigates in the I , te war, and were actively engaged. The Officers .of that standing in the navy of France are now Rear Ad snit al. ! ! A WILL WISHER TO Till NAVY. THE ARMY.

LECTURES ON THE EAR. Mr. Cuarts, Anrict to his Majesty, commenced his interesting course of Lecturer.cs,the Anatomy, Physiology, and Pathology of the Ear on Friday, at the itoyal Dispensary fur Diseases of the Ear, in Dean.street, Soho, squ.re. The Lecturer commenced by giving a zoological definition of man. according to the present arrangement .1 Cuvier, Blumeobach, &c. and traced the commencement of society from barbarism to civilization ; he then traced the comparative anatomy of the ear, and the gradation of organization in different animals, showing its perfection in man above all others, passing down from the monkey. dog, elephant. horse, to other quadrupeds, 'thence to birds, reptiles, and fishes, and so on to the lowest links of the animal chain ; and on this subject he agreed with Haller, the father and founder of pbysiu. logy, that the situation and he of parts mast be learned from man, their uses and motions must be drawn front animals. entering on the diseases of the ear, he observed, that although they were noticed by the ancients even in the time of Hypocrates, who flourished 400 years before the birth of CHRIST, yet it was only in a general way ; but it was reserved for modern times to render it an important branch of study, a knowledge which cannot be learned in the closet, but acquired only by daily practice and ex • perience, joined with an anxious zeal for improvement. The rapid progress in every science Is now such as to augur and hold out the most flattering prospects that the age of prejudice is past—and that the mind is now fully open to the conviction of truth. This improvement be strongly instanced in wes of deaf and dumb which had conic under his care; and he pointed out the superiority and necessity of such treatment in early infancy, to the present mechanical mode of education. DUBLIN, OCT. 4. We regret to state that his Excellency is now suffer ing from a severe attack of his painlnl malady; brought on by his exertions on the Lord Mayor's 'Day. His complaint is most susceptible of rapid transitions from heat to cold, and unfortunately on that day he was in a peculiar manner exposed to the extremes of both. Imperative necessity compels his Excellency to remain quiet for some days at his residence, Hichview ; but We lean that his Physicians entertain sanguine hopes that his health will be fully and speedily restored. Wednesday night, within a mile and a half of Glas nevin, between the hours of eight and nine o'clock, as : Mr. Warren. a Gentleman residing in that neighbour hood, was returning home on a jaunting-car from a shooting party, in company with a tew friends, he was attacked by two men, armed with pistols ; one of them stopped the horse, and presented a loaded pistol at Mr. Warren, and desired him to stand and deliver. Mr. Warren fired at him with a double-barrelled gun, and killed him. The second was proceeding towards the car. when Mr. Warren again fired, and wounded him. Mr. Warren then proceeded to the police office in Glasnevin. and informed police constables Harney and Byrne, who immediately repaired to the spot, where they found a man lying dead on the road, with a loaded pistol in his hand; they also found on his person &peat quantity of leaden balls, and about half a : pound of gun. powder. The body was conveyed to the police office, and the constable went in pursuit of the wounded man. and. after an intricate and diligent search, succeeded in finding him in a public-house in Ballymun e . tying ott the floor ; on searching him, they found on his pampa three flints, and the bill of a gunsmith for repairs of a large case of pistols. He states his name to be David Jones. a native of Drogheda, and is about 20 years I age. He was conveyed to the hospital in Jervis-street. He is dreadfully wounded in the breast, neck, and arms. PRIVATII COBRISPONDENCIL DUBLIN, OCT. 3. The South is tranquillized. I enclose yon the copy of a demi-official dispatch from the parish priest of Borrisokane, received this morning in Dublin, which will satisfy you as to the fact. You will see by the Dublin papers that Mr. Law!ess has been formally recalled from the north ; indeed, the proclamation of the Lord Lieutenant would have ac• complished the purpose without a resolution of the Association. The proclamation has not satisfied either party-4 circumstance not calculated, I thick, to cause any but prise. The Orangemen looked for something sangui. nary and decisive, while the Catholics, on the other hand, think it more aimed against themselves than the Brunswickers. Its operation was anticipated in the south by the address of the Association, and in the north it will, with regard to the Catholics, be a dead letter. However, • though the thing would . ha►e been done without the proclamation. moderate people are rather disposed to let Government have the credit of doing it.{ But the moderate are very few in Ireland. As to the third pirty, of which I spoke in my former letters, efforts are making to get it up; but most un questionably these efforts will fail. It is indeed a me lancholy fact that the differences between Protestant, and Catholics are becoming wider every day. The Protestant Declaration has, comparatively speaking, few signatures. Wheat has advanced from Is. to 2s. a barrel this day. They speak of stopping the distilleries. THOM THZ 111311 PAPERS. CORE, OCTOIIIII 2. Attempts, or rather preparations, have been for some time making to disturb the county of Cork, with the same party processions which have lately disgraced the county of Tipperary. Accordingly, it was given out that a great meeting was to take place in the t non of Fermoy on Sunday next. It is still said that thousands are to pour in from Tipperary and Limerick, to meet their blends in this neighbourhood, for what put pose it is not easy to guess, because at Fermoy there happens to be no fighting factions, to reconcile which has hitherto been the plausible pretext for meetings like these. As soon as the rumour was set afloat, the most disaffected and rebelliously inclined of his Majesty's subjects have been busy niatshalling their forces, and the country tailors have been actively employed in making green uniforms. The smiths, also have not been indifferent spectators. Parties.of men driving cart with large load:, which seemed to be bark, dressed out in the uniform of " the Hereditary Bondsmen," passed through a few days since from the county of Tipperary. Their demeanour was certainly not what might have been expected from " Bondsmen," for I know of their having threatened and abused in a disgraceful way, a Protestant whom they met near this, for no other reason but because he was a Protestant. It being known last week that an army of Ribaudmen were to occupy the town of Clogheen on Sunday, prepara• Lions were made accordingly in the vicinity cf Fermoy, though the distance is 14 miles. Dating the whole of the preceding night, the extensive glens of Araglin and the surrounding mountains reechoed with the sound of bugles mid horns, and at day break, bands in green uniform were to be seen marching in military order to the sound of music, towards the town of Clogheen ; a Magistrate who attended informs me that about noon there could not have been collected less than - 50,000 Ri• headmen, though the weather was most unfavourable. The whole army appeared to be commanded by W person dressed ire French military uniform, with gold epaulettes on his shoulders. The several regiments hid their respective officers, some of whom were most richly accoutred. The sergeants and corporals had the stripes remarkably well worked on their arms, and a smith in uniform was attached to each company, whose badge was a horse-shoe, worked on the right I GRENADA,UN Jots 14. • arm.

There are seieral extraordinary ciresuistances con nected with this affair: • The hu.band's apkthy respect ing his own dishonotir deserves *mice. it is in evidence .that he treated her kindly, she having the sole manage meut of his earnings; rind although the proofs of let • irregular life must havaattracted attention, yet he, was. cdmpletely blinded en 'ibis point, believing her tale is accounting for her absence, namely, of being emplUied in needle-work• at different houses. The unfortunate woman spent the greater portion of her time, when absent from home,. at•the village of Christchurch, near to the t own of Caerleon, on the cld road to Newport, where she contracted an intimacy With a Mai of the name of William Davis. With chic man she passed" for a single woman, and had promised -him mar riage. Barnett was. a prior acquaintance, and the latter, finding out her haunt, left his parents'. residence nn Monday night in search of her. This leads to, another extraordinary feature, the supposed motive for the • sanguinary deed—the jealousy of Barnett—jealous of a married woman who hadi left her feu-band's home to cohabit with another stranger ; it was iris jeakusy f Davis thlat caused the attempt on her Isle in the wood on 'Friday night: It is extremely probable that she left him sleeping is the.bed on• Saturday night, bet for what purpose she went out is not known; this,is apparent from the evidence of both tare Pearce', who heard her foot. tops up the stairs immediately no the commencement of the tragic deed ; he must have awoke Awing her absence, and a recurrence of the jealous tit of the antecedent evening, backed by the probabi lity of her having been ; out with another paramour. nerved the assassin's arm. and moved him to the hellish deed. On the top of the stairs was a hirmile cf tire. wood; on her entering the sittinprooni, t•e must'have jumped on: of bed, And on his way to that voarmetut mutt probably seized one. of the sticks, with which he felled his victim, for a piece of oak sanitnts, with splashes of blood on it, lay near the body, and a bruise or blow was visible on one of the hips.

Tl.e apaitmsntk were remarkably decent and clean, neatly whitewashed. The husband bad given her two packets of copper, containing five shillings each, to buy necessaries for the week. With this she had purchased bread, butter. tea, sugar. and e piece of beef. The bread and butter were on the dresser, and from the tea-kettle having been found full cf water on the remains of the fire, indicated preparations for an early brealf ist. It is not improbable that she had been• cut for the purpose of filling the kettle when Pearce heard her return. This idea is strengthened from her shoes being found slip.. shod at the door of the room. She was dressed in a bright yellow fashionable printed gown. Her. cap was lying under• her head, saturated wills blood ; her ear-rings had fallen dining the scuffle, and were both sound in the upper part of her dress. She was a fine well-mule woman,. about 27 years cf egg e though without any pretensions to beauty.

TROY THI COUNTY CHROXICLIG At Croydon cattle fair on Monday, the show of cattle WAS ex O nbive. and the farm horses appeared to produce gond prices. At Lewes Cliffe October fair, held on Thursday, 3,000 sheep and 1,080 lambs (together 4,080) were penned, but very few of which were driven away unsold. Prices about the same as at the late fair. Nottingham Great Michaelmas Fair, commonly called Gozse Fair," commenced on Thursday, under every advantage of fine weather, which caused a great influx of company. As cheese constitutes the principal com modity at this fair, there was a plentiful supply, arid ; besides the quality being decidedly superior to that of last pear, the Ilrices were lower full six shillings to eight shillings per cut. At the opening of the market, a few fine dailies, which are always hither, fetched 70s. but the genet4 average of new n.ilk, plain and co loured, may be quoted at 60s. to 68s: skimmed milk 48s. to 535. to Sts: ' Onions also in good supply, and cheap, lsi 2d. to Is. 3d. pet peck being the general prices.— With respect to horses, it is admitted on all hands that the greatest :Amber were offered foi sale that has been witnessed at any lair here during the las: twenty years; good ones, tirfot the saddle, as well as carriage horses, were much sought after, and sold readily at high prices. Draught horses, on the contrary, in lit le demand, and a mere drug. B..asts of every description, and stole pigs, were petty numerous. The best fed beasts futcheil 7s. 6J. per score,•ss bile the midd.ing and ordinary qua• lity did not realize so mulch by 6d. and 8.1. per score. At Uxbridge cattle fair, 'held on Monday, the as semblage of visitors wav greater than for main , preced ing years ;Ilse servants foi hite.of both Sexes were nu merous, and the fair on die- whole presented a very animated appearance, considering the unfavourable state 'of the weather. Cattle of every desciiption.wasl in great abundance, but went oil heavily ; indeed, ewer y thing met with rather a dull sale during the day, with the exception of roast goose and perk, which sold un ceasingly from 12 till 3 o'clock ; the consumption was 'almost incredible. Lymington fair, on Friday, was more dull than ever remembered. Although the quantity of chee•e pitched was very small, the greater part remained unsicf. The following priCes may be stated lot the few effected —Best old Somerset, 84s. to 90i. best new ditto, mis. to 725. Coward, 54r. to 60s. Skim, '2ls. to 30s. At Burnham fair, on Thursday last, the show of ' .horses was very small, and the “le equally dull: there was an unusually large. supply of pigs, and : although' much lower prices were asked, very few were purchased, the greater part being driven away unsold. At Downton fair, on Thursday last, there wasp good show of sheep, which met a tolerably brisk sale: two tooth -ethers fetched from 225. to 255. per head ; four and six -tooth ditto, 30s. to 345. Ewes fetched from 205., to 255. and lambs from 11s. to 225. There was but a small and poor show cf horses, w ith the exception of some gaud c4tt colt:, which sold well. At Yarnborough Castle fair, on Saturday, there was a good show Of sheep and lambs, which in the early part of the day went off briskly, fetching good prices; but the demand afterwards slackened, and, contrary to t xpectation. many lots remained unsold. There was a pot.r show of nag horses. The cart colts were nume.uus and good, and.fetched very high prices. Hop-picking terminated at Fartingdon on Thursday last : the crop is consider ed a fair average one, and of good quality. 'At the conclusion of the picking, the pickers walked'in procession, preceded by a band o' music, to a large and commodious barn, belonging to W. BENNETT. Esq. where they were regaled with good English cheer.

We hope that these strong measures will prevent the epidemic from visiting us, as hitherto we enjoy good health, as well in Cadiz as in the ,towns round this place. The alarm,' of I course, as is always the case, has spread into all the neighbouring places. At Seville, one of the steam. vessels haw been detained ) the other has been obliged to .perform eight days quarantine, being in the harbour' f Cadiz when the news arrived. An official report of thefeier at Gibraltar, up to the • 14th ult. inclusive, bus been received. The cases in. crease, but the attacks are getting still more mild tlic average daily-deaths sue only five; the military . form iSout one-third of the patients. The following is . the return of the 14th—Rensained in Hospital, 127 ; admitted, 22—total, 159. Discharged; 23 ; died, 6. Gibraltar Papers and letters to the 16th uft. have been received. The deaths in the civil and military hospital were on the 11th, four; on,the 12tb s ,fiver. ott the 13th, Hier . on the 14th, three ; and op thi 15th, six. 'The number of cares was 128; . and there were 25 unJer obtervatioa in the can*. These dates are not, bobsevor, later than thosivliy the merchant ship Eliza, last vita. An consequence of thi; fever, Malaga was entitly closes; no mstio could enter'or get out. Toe Govet nor caused fivd tir six men; the crew of a vessel frogs Gibraltar, to be 'shot`for introduttog coottAitaill goods, sepposed to be infected' with the fever. A New York Paper states, that f: nit trees which are , attacked by the wurm .in the root, may be kept frogs destruction, and restored to a healthy state, by pouring three or four galloos of (within water gently on the ground, so as to teach the root. The French troops are to leave this place on SA. torday next, overland for France; the General corn. manding this division has told me it will, take them 58 days to finish th eir march, is you see they go at a snail's gallop. Various measures, tending to prevent the spreading of the malady, have been ordered by our authorities; one of them directs that two of the pain cipal inhabitants shall be stationed at each entrance of the town to examine the passports, and lot to allow any one to enter under any pretext whatever: Every inhabitant is compelled in turn to perform this duty, and is relieved every 24 hours; there is no distinction 1 made in fulfilling this duty. We are visited to-day by ' a high easterly wind; which is very ominous in this state of awful expectation. Amongst us it is affirmed that the epidemic has reached Seville ; indeed, it. will be quite wonderful if we escape without a stroke from tbie hortible scourge."
