IMPROVED SYSTEM FOR THE ARMY. It is understood that the great object of the Improved Rules and Regulations for the Army is to establish one uniform system of field exercise and movement, which is to be rigidly conformed to, and practised by every Regiment in his Majesty's service. In or der to attain this most important purpose, the improved system will ilinstrate how necessary it is to reconcile celerity with order; to prevent hurry, which must always produce confusion, loss of time, unsteadiness, irresolution, and inattention to command; to insure precision and correctness, by which alone great bodies of troops will be enabled to arrive at their object in good order, and in the shortest space of time; to inculcate and enforce the necessity of military dependence, and of mutual support in action, which are the great ends of discipline; to simplify the execution, and to abridge the variety of movements, as much as possible, by adopting such only as are necessary for combining exertions in Corps, and that can be required or applied in service ; to ascertain to all ranks the part each will have to act in every chance of situation that can happen, so that explanation may not retard, at the moment when execution should take place; and to enable the Commander of any body of troops to retain them, at every instant, in his management, so as to he capable of restraining the bad effects of such ideas of independent and individual exertion as are visionary and hurtful, and of direct in/ them to their true and proper objects—those of order, of com bined effort, and of regulated obedience—by the united force of all which a well disciplined enemy can alone be defeated. PARISIAN FASHION& Ladies' dresses are at present trimmed in three different man ners, each of which may be considered equally fashionable : flounces, rushes, and tucks or plaits cut bias. Full bodies are very generally seen. The bonnets worn by young Ladies are chip, rice straw, split straw, or of tissu de colon. Leghorn, and silk bonnets, are orna mented very frequently with the American rose, from the brilliant centre of -which peeps forth a small portion of dark green moss.— Fancy bonnets are mostly trimmed with watered ribbons of two colours. One of these ribbons is puckered up into the form of a shell, on which a flower is placed : this ornaments the front of the bonnet. HOHENLOHE MIRACLES. Ara—" Green grow the ratites 0."

EXECUTION OF AN INNOCENT PROM THE PROVIDENCE, RHODE IsLAND, - Jountim.. We stated, a few days since, that John C. Hamilton was executed in Kentucky a few years ago (1817). for the mut der of Dr. Sanderson, of Natches, Mississippi, and that a man had recently been executed in Mobile, who confessed himself the murderer of. Sanderson, and de clared that Hamilton was innocent. The following are the particulars of this melancholy affair, the perusal of which is sufficient to wring tears of anguish from the heart of apathy itself : " The annals of judicial proceedings rarely afford a report of a trial and execution of a more extraordinary and distressing charac ter than this, and it should be universally circulated, that Judges and jurors may be guarded against condemning supposed culprits on cir cumstantial evidence. Young Hamilton, through life, supported an unblemished character, and obtained the love, esteem; and admira tion of all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. As is cons mon with the young Gentlemen of Kentucky, be was in the prac tice of spending the winter season in the more genial climate of the Mississippi. On a return from a winter residence in that quarter, he accidentally fell in company with Dr. Sanderson, who, bring in ill health, was journeying to the celebrated watering place at Harrods burg Spa, witk hopes of recovering his lost health ; and as be was anxious to make something out of his pilgrimage, be took with him a large suns of money, with which he contemplated purchasing negroes on speculation. On his way up the country, his infirmities increased, and as he was apprehensive he might expire on the road, he committed to the charge of Hamilton his treasure, having in his acquaintance dis ed that he was worthy of unlimited confidence. " In a few days however, his indisposition abated, when be pur sued his journey, and finally arrived in Safety at the residence of Hamilton, in Barren County, Kentucky, where be remained during the summer, and received from his young friend every mark of cour tesy, attention, and hospitality. In the month of October, Dr. San derson made arrangements to depart, and on taking leave of his hos pitable host, young Hamilton accompanied him several miles on the road, and then took an affectionate farewell. Ten or twelve days after , as some hunters were rambling through the forest, they dis covered the body of Dr. Sanderson in a state of corruption, shot in several places, and mangled in the most shocking manner. As Hamilton was last seen with bim, and as it was known that he had from time to time made use of sums of money, originally the pro perty of Dr. Sanderson, suspicion fell on his head, and he w as ar rested, tried,and execut ed.! a Previous to his arrest, he was advised to leave the country, to avoid dangek; but as he was cemscious of his innocence, he dis dained to take a step which would Cast a cloud of obloquy and dis grace upon his character, and resolutely remained at home. As tilt inhabitants of the county were divided in their opinions as to his guilt, the affair gradually died away ; but Hamilton being anxious that a trialshoUld take place, firmly believing that in such an event his reputation would remain unspotted, he 'solicited at the hands of justice # trial, which, to his astonishment and sorrow, closed with rb condemnation. The only evidence against him was circum stantiat, viz. that near the body of Sanderson were found a Wordy pair of pantaloons, and a pistol, both bearing the name of Ilatn Through the whole of the trial he manifested that fortitude and de tetinined coolness characteristic of innocence, and expired wi•h a full conviction that the real murderer would altim..te4 be dis covered. When on the scaffold, he took a manly ' , Aye oft he world, expressed not the least regret for his fate, but lamented that his mis fortunes would cloud the prospects of hie family, and shed an inde lible disgrace on his memory. Thus through the weakness of the was an interesting young man and a worthy citizen hurried from the world, and doomed to expiate on the gallows that canine iomntitted by the hands of a villain and asty;,,iit.'
