Lon Don MONDAY, NOVEMBER 46. it appears by the Parliamentary Papers, that Race January, 1816, one thousand are hundred and five first commissions have been granted. During the same time there have been upwards of 1200 Cornets, Ensigns, and Second Lieutenants upon half.pay. Mr. Hume stated, on Colonel Davies's motion, that 130 Officers had been placed on half-pay the very day on which they were aPlx►inted to their first commissions since the peace have been put on half-pay. There were on the 25th of Atrch last, 1.346 Cornets, Second Lieutenantss and Ensigns on half pay, and 3,491 Lieutenant, (with the Ensigns and Lieutenants of the Foot Guards.) It is evident, therefore, that :f the 'vacancies in the army had been filled up by these officers, the lower claw of officers on the haply list would have been reduced almost to nothing. This obvious mode of reducing the burthens of the people has been entirely disregarded. We refer our readers to a most intereqing report which we give to-day, of an application made to the Court of King's Bench by Mr. Pearson, the Bar rister, on Wednesday last, for a criminal information against a Gentleman of fortune, his Valet, a Consta ble, and a Magistrate, all four residing at or near Stone, in Staffordshire. We arc in possession of the names of the parties, and all the particulars, which we pledge ourselves to publish at length, in case the proceedings arc permitted to go on—and we fear. lcssly assert, that so cold, so heartless, so flin•y a recital, never met publicity. Another report was made to Ms Majesty by the Recorder on Monday last, when five more were or dered for execution to-morrow, making together thirteen iu the metropolis only within six days. Sir Charles Wolscley passed through Lichfield on Wednesday night last, on his way from Abingdon to Wolselcy-ball : his imprisonment expired on that day. The tenants at Vulseley, and the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, paid their respects to him on the following day, and hailed with pleasure his re turn amongst them. Bonfires, feastizigs, and other demonstrations of joy, were exhibited at Rugeley, and the villages adjacent. We have been informed, on application being made to his May. sty's Mint liar a supply of farthings, agreeable to the Peoclamation, that no person will be accommodated with a less quantity than ten pounds worth. We think the Government should forthwith appoint some house in the City and ano ther in AVestminster to issue any quantity that might be applied for, with a view of giving every facility to their circulation. _ _ TWEEDIE THE DEFAVLTER.--The father shot himself in the same office which was so recently held by the son : he, likewise, could not make up his Le counts. The latter visited persons much above his rank in life; he frequenteil routs and balls in the fashionable circles, and having a pleasing voice, bezarpe a boa vivant. Ilia finances not being ade quate to this extravagance, he supplied the deflei ciencies from the public purse. When the late retrenchments were resolved upon, TweedierecLive.l notice of superannuation, upon a pcusion of .5001. with instructions to make up hi., accounts with all possible despatch. THE NATIONAL• REGISTER Tuesday, ut a quarter past one, leis Majesty left Carlton Palace in his private travelling car riage, accompanied by Sir 13. 13lomatichl, and escort ed by a party of Lancers, tilt. the Pavilion at Briol - The carriage left by di.: Park entrance. The King will, it is said, be met on his entrance into 13rig;otoon by a IX:potation of•tho town, with a loyal congratulatory Address on his return to England, and particularly on leis arrival at this his favourite reddence, the Lavina Fenton (afterwards Duchess of Bolton) was tempted b y Rich from the Hay-market to Lin coln's-inn-fieles, in the year 17.8, by a sa l a ry of os . per week: on the success of the ii ggars' I )pera, to secure this valuable actress, he raised it to 80s. ! and such was the ntge of the town respecting her, that she was obliged to be guarded home every night by a considerable party of her confidential friends, to prevent her being run away with. lo a letter from Lord Blaney to his Grace the Lord Primate of behind, which has been publisht,sd along with certain documents, it is observed, " that the notorious disregard paid to the earnest entreaties of the Protestant parishioners of that country, for a resident clergyman, favours the progresss of discon tent, and gives rise to various popular predictions unfavourable to the stability of the established reli ghm, and is peculiarly mortifying to all who have its interest at heart.'' Family Antiquity—The celebrates! Lord Chester field had a relation, a Dlr. Stanhope, who was ex tremely vain of his p;ili,,;ree, which he preten.lca to trace to a most ridiculous antiquity. his Lord ship one day, in his walk through an obscure street in London, saw at a Broker's shop a miserable daub of Adam and Eve in Paradiq , . He purchased it, and having written on the top or it, " Adam de S/anhope (? . f . Eden and Eve his wifc," sent it to his relative as a present of a very valuable old family picture. Changes in the Times.—la the year 1672,at which period throughout the kingdom there were only SIX stage coaches continually running, a pi:mplilet was written and published by Mr. John Cresset, of the Charter-house, urging their suppression, and amongst the grave reasons given against their continuance. the author says--" These stage coaches make gentlemen come to London on every small ucca. eon, which otherwise they would not do but upon urgent necessity : nay, the convenience of the pus• sage makes their wives often come up, who, rather than come such long journeys on horseback, would stay at home. Here, when they come to town, they must presently be in the mode, get fine clothes, go to plays and treats, and by these means get such a habit of idleness, and love of pleasure, us make them uneasy ever after."—What would poor John Cresset say if he were now alive? Admiral Sir James Saumarez is appointed Vice- Admiral of England in the room of the late Sir Win. Young; and the Earl of Notthask, the third in command in the action off Trafalgar, and the only survivor, is appointed Rear•Atituiral of Eng lund, in the room of Sir J. Stumm-et. A Russian captain, lately returnad from Persia, mentioned to a friend in Astraean, that when he was in that 4:tiontry he Kapp entsl on day to go into the house of a native, where ha was surprised to find twenty or thirty Persians assembled, and list ening with attention to one who was reading a book. They no stainer noticed the straNar than the book was laid aside and concealed, and it was with some difficulty that hi could prevail on theta to tell him what the book wrs. At lust they intimated hint that it was the New Testament, and said the reason why they endeavoured to conceal it was, that they were not permitted to read it publicly. The ladies of the township of Sandal, near Wake.. fiald, have entered into a subscription for purchas ing scam dialling fur the pour of that township, and have already distributed a tiantity of appro priate articles for the approaching winter, to the most necessitous of their neighbours. Mr. Wontner is in a fair way of recovery, and is hoped he will be still enabled to perfuriu the du ties of City Marshal after he recovers. Rear-Admiral ligrilry.—On Saturday last died suddenly, of apoplexy, at his house in James-street, Buckingham-gate, Rear-Admiral Burney, F.U.S. ire his 72d year, eldest son of the learned and elegant Historian of Music, and brother to two very distin guished persons of the present age, Madam D'Arblay, the justly celebrated novelist, and the late Doctor Charles Burney, a member of that triumvirate of profound scholars which had adorned our own im mediate tint:s.
