On well aware that the subject I am going to treat of is a hacknied one ; but the present state of the times call loudly for its being again taken into consideration. At a crisis when every article is so dcar,•the situation of a Subaltern Officer is peculiarly . tood, especially !bat of an Ensign. He has to support tle rank of a Gentleman, his necessary expences are Dearly the same as those of his Colonel ; and upon what has he to support them ?—Upon his pay of 4s..ssi. a-day tTsitto be supposed, that upon that 44. ad. he can dine at the ;one table with his Colo nel (which is the case), and also support the other necessary expencts attend. rat on his profession ? In appearance of dress, and in every respect, his ex igences are precisely the same as those of a Captain, v bile at the same time his pay is very d4proportio- Slate if -ever there was a time that justly claimed the increase of pay to any rank, that of a'Subalter6 certainly aloes at present. 'I here has lately been an order issued to the Army respecting a change of clothing, and no manner of allowance granted to Officers to effect it ; although the expellee falls heap , vier on the Subaltern than on any other regimental rank, in consequence of the change of epaulettes, which affect them only. How can it be t epected that s young man, with merely the p,rof a Subaltets, an be prepared for such an order ? and the conse quence is, that the pecuniary circumstances even of i she best economist become embarrassed, which, when once the case, may, and often does end in his being obliged to giro up his commission. Indeed, . in the regiment is which I have the honour to belong, I know some well disposed young Officers, who, un- , fortunately having nothing but their profession to support them (which is likewise the case with many of the best Officers in the Army) have, by the corn bination of the late change of dress with the inereas ing ezpences of the present times, become involved in pecuniary diacritics, who idilitherto been able to manage, with economy. The hope that this plain a nd undisguised statement may attract the attention of some-Gentleman having it in his power to lay the ' subject before earliament once incite, has induced nelo intreat you will give this a place in the &ran.

The Judge was of opinion that the impress was legal ; but that it was illegal to break the outer door of the house ; and the Jury returned a verdict for the plain tiff—damages £lO. At the Warwick Assizes, Barnabas Waver: and his son, who had picked up a bill, valued £ll, and con verted it to their own use, were tried . and found guilty. In their defence they said, that having found the property they conceived they had a right to it as their own. But the presiding Judge, in passing sen tence, expressed himself in terms of indignation and astonishment, that such an idea should for a moment be entertained by any one ; it was the duty of every man, when he found the property of another, to use all diligence to find the owner, and not conceal it (which was actually stealing it), and appropriate it to his own use. The law would always punish, with severity, offenders of that description. They were each sentenced to one year's imprisonment. The following is the only capital conviction which took place at the Kerry Assizes : Timothy Sullivan, alias Ouecy, found guilty on the clearest evidence, of being of a party of White-boys, who, on the night of the 21st inst. broke into the house of Thomas Fitzge i rald, of Listrim, whom they wantonly and barbarous ly beat, together with others of his family.

ASSIZES. [Here the Learned Judge pronounced the awful sentence of•death.] Jame: Britt, Cortadhes Delany, and Henry Benton, Revenue office's, were given in charge to the Jury, and indicted for the murder of Patrick O'Donnell, at Enniskillen, on the 20th of May. It appeared in evidence, that the deceased and one Archibald Allingham, -were smuggling contraband spirits in a boat, on the river Erne, on the evening of the 20th of May last—that the prisoners and three of the Cornwall Militia, were in another boat, and called to the deceased and his companion to surren der, which they either did not hear, or did not attend so—on which she military fired, and Patrick O'Don nell was killed. • The Jury, in consequence of the contradictory evidence of the survivor, Allingham, and under the direction of Barcn M , CLat.na N acquit ted the prisoners. The Learned Judge then addres. sed them, and said, that before he discharged them, he thought it proper to observe (first hoping, that, not one of them had given direstions to fire the fatal shot, which had deprived the father of a large and afflicted Emily of his life), that they, as Revenue offi• cers, were not authorized in point of law to fire upon persons, as if a felony had been committed—except where a felony had. been actually committed, they 1 1 . were not vested with any power to order the military to fire their muskets : for it were much better that any given number of smugglers should escape, than that one innocent man should lose his life. He stated this, that the law might be fully and clearly under stood by the Revenue officers, and that they would not dare to command the military to act in such a manner, as might endtager the life of a subject, till after the seizure was made. MAIDSTONE, AUGUST a. BASS v. GILBERT. This was an action for the seduction of the plain. tiff's daughter. The plaintiff and defendant were both farmers in this county ; and from the testimony of the plaintiff's daughter, it appeared that she had been at school with the defendant's sister—and in conse quence of an iatimacy ari.ing between the families, lie had visited at her father's house, on a most inti mate footing. The consequence was, that she had; yielded to his particular attentions, and had become pregnant by him. The Jury found a verdict for the Plaintiff.—Da mages seloo. Cctlts v. PEARCE. This was an action against the Defendant for driv ing against the Plaintiff's horse and cart, by which the shalt of the defendant's chaise-cart was driven into the lungs of the plaintiff's horse, and he was thereby killed.
