Mr. HEIESEEN (icuscy (as we understood him) wished to allaie to the cue of a gentleman who was the inn ut a most intri- Emeas officer, who during a period of 50 years had acted with the greatest credit w himself and benefit to the c...suntry. That officer h a d eundocted himself with exemplary ciaremcess (as w? under stood die Honourable Member to say) in the department to which he Witt adverted, yet a claim had been made against his son kw arrears which were alleged to have accrued when the fa•her was a Regimental Accountant.

Sir 11. HAI.I INGE n is at . 4rous to state to the firmer before the discussion of the Ordnait. e Ettimates, that the !holster which bad been made of mint mit Cus into the ordnance department had apparerdly increase.' its amount. The object of the consolidation was to save expert's'. as also .he eot.veni.mceof having a beard of espeTteceed officers. Another advantage derived Rem that ar tangemeet was :hat mans —mimetic* which had before been s-pa. ra eil into d;ftetem. cherpts. ane now brought Into one. There was another benefit, rtee.t.tse stenciling to the former method sonic part of the cans., n of . •ttidirg was Incurred before it was lutown whether it would be 0.1.'7 , up persevere or to desist. Anotlser item sat this branch was the to the navy by the ordnance. There were 'brat ilfl,l l oU guns 'applied to the natty by the ord. ranee departmert, and about 100.900 side arms, and oth.tr naval Instruniews of war. The total amount to be toted for IBM. row 1.764.103/., inanely' of the transfer from the . . .„.. Navy Estimates and the Colonial works and buildings which had belonged to the Army Estraor4inoriea Now the amount of the vote for the preceding year we 1,378.811 L, so that * increase of the present rest is a forty-tilde mote than last yew ebut it should be recollected that the vote of the last year wax entailer than any vote for the preceding ten years. In the year 1821 there had been a marching corps of four Atradred men. It was now enntidered nectessty to incorporate theta with the marching regiments.— And in this respect there was an increase of three hundred and fifty an. It wps not •o be supposed that this augmentation was occasional by any apprehension if hostilities. for such an addition would be totally in,...coutete fur t‘e puma's. Though it wt.s to be regretted, in the present state of dee financial affairs of the country, yet he felt it a duty to propose an sumemestausni tiae-artillay-va giouents. It was their province td to a rare of the materiel veld it was necereary to make the proposed increase. An arrangement had been made, according to a resod.iii•m of that House, to manage the Colonies with the number of 30 companies, with the addition of 6 for relief in the transit ; hut it %as found impracticable, therefore another five had been joined a the latter to provide egainet the numerous contingencies, so that there were forty ins.rail of thirty companies abroad. (If these. however, there were :',1141 invalids In reply to the objection thet the numbers had been round initheient during 3 years, it should be remarked, Coat those who were sent out at the close of the war were accustomed to hardship, and tad not require so much relief t but at present there were only re citing who were not able to endure the climate and other such changer.. It was intended to have asked that the companies should consist of 80 instead of 70 men ; but, on account of the di.tre_•s of the ciuntry, the increase would not he proposed until next year. The war proportion of the vanity to the army was as I to 1.1, but at present it was only as Ito 15. But though it might be objected that 30 peace there was not so much occasion for the artillery. yet it was a b. 1.1 principle to reduce that department more than any other. As thu increase was one cf necessity, he hoped there would not be any uppsition. At the 117°4v/id) establishment the cad.ts were reduced to *thorn 131 ; but they were estimated at hO, in order to meet co ningencies. There was a (Effluence in resp.cto the estimates for le land of 111.915/., which was to be attributed to 4he change its the currency, and to the survey which had been projected Caere. In tills surrey the sappers and miners had been cmvlsyed, to sr.tre ea pmse and labour. 'file sums to be voted he the barrack tlopret. meat were, tor Koeland, 117,0871., which was more than last year; toe Ireland, 121.1i.i1d.„ which was less than the Loit year. But 4 alculd be taken into consideration that 30,01.*11. was devoted to the alteration of the King's Mews. In respect to supplementary esti. mates. there were repairs necessary to be made, in consequence of the vriginal tar buildings. There was a sum of 27.0410/. to complete the barrack at sierra Leone, which should be kept up id proper military state es lmg as it continued a colony. lie then moved for the sum of 52,3411/. for the Civil Establishments of the Ord. nance. bir J.

That wee a very ustIJI tstabli■hment. and one of the best bulwarks ut the kingdom. Stir 11. HARDING,: agreed: but there were so many of the colonies in a eontliion which required more attention that the plate of which the lion. Derelict made mention, it was necessarily omitted. ..... 3lf. BERNAL said, that the lion. Barone! (Sir 11. Ilardinge) had prefaced his atidresss with at itemeete of the ditdreas of the country, yet the House was celled on not to be jealous of the meta eerie, preposeti. Now that the fenny Emile:nes had been gone thoeigh, where was the money to be produced ? Ile agreed with the Artillery Estimates, but did not approve of the io ettetee in the Army and Navy Estimates. lie was at a loss to know bl.w the country was to precure money for all the expenditure that had been voted, night atter night, as if they had only to look from the right to the left for a supply. Ile asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer to say whether the revenue would not fell shirt? Rep let. owsille nt heirs were to the effect that mere were at present a amsible diminution in the customs and revenue, and that the lefeleetion of the year would be serious. Ile hoped this would not 'te the rase, but he wished to hear the Chancellor of the L's eh quer'setatervete tilein the euheect. File CHANCE:I,Ie /It of the Ell clime:En ls!cl it was not tat ietentiat, then to enter into a stetentent to that ciYeet. tircuin -40 rites had ocenreed to prevent him from going into the details hl herto, but he mild assure the Hun.

II 1:3111 was at lean obliged, by the candour with which the limier hail been informel. tar oily that there were to be at present reduetione, but also that none wire contemplated hereah./. He meld not help fearing the country would he distressed !e meat Come of these unnecessary expenses. Ile could nut understand why, when he was informed thirty-Eve companies, with a reliee of fivc artiikey, were sufficient, they eliould he toil that ten of the latter were required. Ile had been ridiceled ter referring aa frequently to the establishment of the year 17J2; but he would, notwithstand ing, tell the llonee that nt that time the whole artillery did not ennount to more than Vete/Otte It had been mud lie might as well Icier to the aiege of Troy, but he contended dial this was a fair standard. Ile thought the alester-General and the Lieutenant. Genera! ought not built to exist; there could not be duty fur the two, and a salary of 1.5001. to the former was too high a remune ration for the services' he rendered. The Secretary TII the Boned, he felled. had his salary increased this year from LION. to 1.4001- die syseen of increase seetned to apply to the ordnance particu lar!) during the years lthi4, I lene. ION. Thin department had gore on ire - reasilig gradually. lie had endeavoured to get Cleo otlice ut Lieuertaarit-teeneral abolished last Session, het the Committee deeded against him ; and to refer to it now might Its deemed a witless waste of time. Ile however should persevere in hie old aurae, in the hope that heir tints might cilia sotnelliing, as water tor euritimed dumping was known to wear the heftiest substance. lie should not retrain then from stating that it was a wasteful ex. Oendintre of the public money for thereto be two persons receiving salaries, the Abele? General 3,171 le, and the Lieutenant tienerui leerief., tor duty which might be performed by one. Tice salary of the Surveyor General was to be increased this year from 1,2101. to 1,0371.; what woken the House say to this increase, when they considered that in 1792 this officer had a salary of MOl. only. He okiected also to the expense of the two civil establishments, one at V. estmineter and the other at the Tower; and he did not see on what principle they could be supported unless on that which had some time since proposed eight or ten clerks up stairs, to correspond with thou. in the ollicee below. Ile did not think there was a mili tary man in England, but what must acknowledge the keeping up of these two reateiehmetits was entailing an utineceseary expense on the cenetry. If the business of ;he Tower were transacted at Westminster. the whole expense of the former establishment might be saved, to the amount of 14,bC0/. Sir H. II A RDI NOE said if the Hon. Member would look to the years liill, 1320, and 1821, he would find that there had been considerable reductions in the ordnance estimates. In the year 1820 the reduction amounted to 67.0001., and in the year 1821 to 103,0001. The line. Member had objected to an increase of 3001. in the salary of the Treasurer the reason of this was Ministers finding they could not consolidate the Irish Barrack ' Board with the English, thought it expedient to abolish the office of Treasurer of Ireland, and give the entire business to him who now discharged the duties of the English Treasurer; by thie arrangement a cm siderable saving had been effected, notwithstanding the extra twittery paid, which wits by no means unreasonable considering the talents of the individual who received it. The Hon. Member had objected to the two establishments—one at the Tower and the other at Pohl man, and he admitted that it would be effecting considerable save ing if they could be united ; but this appeared impracticable ; they' must have room for the stores, and this could only be obtained at ate Tower; all that could bereuteved, therefore, was the accountants. Sir G. YORK had heard that great statesman, known as the pilot who weathered the storm. zerticulsrly praised for some of his reductions ; hitt, though he generally agreed in the policy of elle measures of that great man. he thought on the occasion referred to he never gave a greater wet:. (Laughter.) He canlessed he had rather vote for blinwters cutting sway the dead weight, of which he forme.d a tlintioguieheiti part. (greet laughter) for their reducing the netioeal debt 2.5 per eche titan for any reduction of the estimates before the House, so essential (lid he consiaer thstn. General FERE!

The l'itruvias of the present ?ay (Sir ( 4 :. Long) had reeranniendeil it, and Government seemed to think there shotild be soldiers in the heart of the town 7 but he questioned its being :.anatitutional, and believed the spot now used as hare:irks was ietained by a Inner 3letnarrh for his amuse menus. If this were the last time of his having an opportunity of rewriting against t'aie tneueuee he would avail himself of it. He eentenind that it WIN most improper there should be a forte of from four to five hundred mere as he before said, in the heart of the me tropolis,cloee to the Palace, and in the vicinity of the Courts of !Awe - He could not epprehend that they could overawe the citi zens of Westminster. hut he thought it a very improper eats. blishmentt. He would ask why they could not be re moved to the barracks at finvloahriclge, - ha Regent's .Park, or Hyde Pat:. ? Sue a had been tbe fecling on the sub ject by some of his cor.stimetas. that they deputed him to get an interview with the Duke of York to sate t:•eir °ejections to this force. The innswet given was toat it watt deteneined they should be there established and. Icing so determined, he coui 1 effect nothing It appeared to him (NIT. llobhouse) that it would be better to quarter them out than tlx them in the toan. Ilia abjection to those barrack. was on principle. Ile knew that those encroachments on the liberties of the etierns, though ercesionally trifling in them selves, were of east impertaece in their Tenths. If MO sufficient reason could be given fer their now being there established, they nu ht to be removed. _ r had hen our army had been reduced, and was now only—only white ;6.000 men ! 40.000 of which were in England, and 3ti,f9o in ire:and. What would those who lived before us have said to a standing army in a time of peace to this extent? When, ;luring the title of the Usurer, it Englani, and Scotland, and 1t ::.Ind, there ertre not more then 30,000 men. He thought the Horse Patrol of the Riot Hon. Gentleman oppo. site an excellent eetwititute for the 'watery, and he trusted this loves erniteuthe would be removed. Afr. Secreta - v I'EEL, in answer to the !lon. Gentleman ob servations as to the architecture of the barracks, observed, that there matters of taste were best consulted by a reference to the utility of the building, Ile teeth! not imagine there was anything snore conetitueonal in quartering soldier* than in providing bare racks fur them. In the reign of Cheries 11. three was a petition of right sera:net their king quartered. From 1754 to 1776 there had been barrachs where tie eavov prison stood. This answered the legality of the prr.e , Ttling. I; reference to the convenience, he would obs rye, that r ti the Coldstream Guards were quartered at Chalk Yarn, rani had to attend duty in Birdcage-walk. lie thought other great eltjeetions. to quartering soldiers, were, first, the hardship it vita . ..tett the iapdai.ts, Ifigtetett Over - leteri irel he • 3tilre — ol37ged to associate wit those of idle bad character. Ile thought the He:Pourable Member would, on reflection , tlni his reentnmendation attended with greater difficulties than he migat at first have imagined.— Ile thought it would have time most injurious effect upon the moral character of soldiers, to pet them in a situation where they must Runlet/. with tht wnr't charneto 9, and therefore he would wish to have them provided with barracks. ' Colonel ISA N'lEel approved of flaying barracks for the military. The system of billeting eau injurictis to the character of a soWier, and destructive of .tirripline. Colonel . 1 011Ne4 I N aloe referred barracks, hut he had a con stitutional objeetien to placing a barrack in the centre of the me. tropolt., Mr. I10111101.7SI: objected to the separation of the military fmm the as he elwa•,•s wished to have their interests united. General TOWN.SEN l) thought the billeting of soldiers tended to demoralize them, as in so( h situations they were emaciated with the worst vagabond.. whose had principles must have the most in jurious eirect npoii the n•oral character of the soldiers, and thzrefore he wished to see the roilita-y always provided with barracks. He had known soldiers complain of those persons with whom they were compelled to associate when quartered, and he always found them desirous to be in barracks. The resolui ion was th-ii agreed to, and several other resolutions being also agreed to, the House resumed and ordered that the re port be brought up to-morrow (this day).

The following ate emtracts from two letters received at the North and south American Coffee-house yesterday BATA , . lA, Nov. 8, 1025. The Dutch forces have made no progress in putting down the revolted ; should they not succeed in effecting this soon, we doubt if much coffee finds its wry to the middle districts (say 6a. marling Paciogan) next season. The troops are about retiring into fortified quarters during the rains, and unless we get additional strength, we cannot take the field again in the spring, provided the natives persist. 01:r city was neser more dull ; cargoes arrive from time to time, but entail part finds purchasers. SOTnABATA. OCT. '2O 1825. The disastrous warfare now etiaged in leans it entirely uncer. fain if tiny coffee will be produced nest year. The Javanese have for the last two months led the Dutch a complete wild-goose chase; any hmali torce which has ventured to attack them has in every case, been dettroyed ; and inn ediately that a larger bodyof sol diers appear, the natives flee a hundred toilet, carrying with them death and destruction. The soldiers arc at this moment at Solo anti Joejockarta, stdreting the greatest privations, while the JA. vanese are on the frontier towns, skirmishing with tile raw mi litia. Von must have heard, long ere this reaches you, the ',Dior. tonate fate of the Santa:my gentlemen who were enrolled as : in one day the town was deprived of all its merchants but two. The town itself sat perfectly bare of troops—not the least preparation for defence—not a hundred men in it—and a victorious body of 7,000 savages withing titteen miles of it ; they were, bap. pity, undecided for a day, when reinforcements arrived. The in. haiMants of our town arc new its only guardians—we are all mi litia, and the various posts occupy one-third of our number ; ao that every third day it talls to my duty in mount guard during twenty-four hours. I hie stores might u well he stair; no business is doing and perhaps in no part of the world wereamirchants ever subjected to w!tat we are. There are so few troops in the island, ghat ouf only dependence is upon the natural stupidity and igno rance of the natives ; lent they the least scrap of sense we should be driven into the sea. (Ake to the extent of 10 to 15,000 picols ' has been burnt; and trees in the middle districts, which 'annually produced from 21/ to 30,000 penult, have been burnt and cut down. The country could not recover itself in live years if pence was established to-morrow, which there is no chance cf. About two thousand Dwelt regulars, and these sickly, are all that remain in Java. The population of the Javanese exceeds five millions. The Onvernment is deplorably poor, and 11 coven only knows how this will end. There can be no doubt that the write have good cause to rebel, for never were such egregious errors committed be a government t heiddes the moat severe and foolish despotism, the petty residents have been guilty of the most fla grant and gross contlict, almost without n reprimand : this Ass led to the present state of things ; and should the just cause gain the day, Java will be lost to Dutchmen. Letters were received yesterd4 — from Pert-au-Prince, dated Jan. IS. A great sensation bas been produced by the accounts of English Consuls being appointed.

The Fluile of Sunday - contains an account of the dis persion of the smati band of insurgents who had come from Gibraltar into the neighbourhood of Alicant, to the num ber of about a hundred men; and an address of a deputa. tion from the Hungarian Diet to the Emperor of Austria on the occasion of his birth day. The news from Greece eon tinuts favoutable. A Turkish frigate in the roads of Patras was burnt on the 3(lFebruary by MtAyr's in sight of IBRAHIM PACIIS himself. COLO COT Ro N I has driven the Egyptians from the interior of the Mores, and it is asserted that the Viceroy of Egypt has refused to comply with the demands of the Porte to send another expedition to Greece. M. DENrc, the author of the " Biography of the Sep tennial Chamber," has been cited to appear before the Juge d'lnstruction of the Tribunal of the First Instance, in the department of the Stine. The Meniteur has published se veral additions to its report of the pleadings of M. BARTH IC, in which the advocate stated several instances of irregular interference in the elections formerly brought before the Chamber by M. Ci.susst. ras Cousegancss and VilLaca himself. The attention of all Europe. according to the Journa a-lissispirsiliossdisposiliektilssion :: tf the Duke of Nut.- LisoTor; to the Court of the Emperor of Russia. The general opinion is that the affairs of Turkey form the chkf subject of discussion. The presence of the Duke of RA. GCSA, M. DE LEIIZIELTERN, and M. DE RIDEAXPIERRE,itI St. Petersburgh, and the continual intercourse of Russian couriers, and bearers of despatches on all the great roads of Europe, announce some important political crisis about to take place. A work has lately been published at Paris under the title of " The Congregation," to which the French journals ascribe a considerable degree of importance—as explaining the proceedings of a secret association which has long ex isted, and is said to spread its ramifications over the whole extent of France. It is the production of U. DE MONT- Lost en, and its title is a " Memoir to be consulted on a Political and Religious System tending to overthrow Reli gion, Society, and the Throne." Ile describes its origin under the auspices of ('ardinal FE CI I, its gradual exten sion and organization, its secret correspondence by which it was frequently informed of evens before the Government itself, often eight days before their announcement in the ..41uniteur, its unseen influence on the elections, its gradual intrusion into all departments of the Government and police. The system of espionage, instead of being paid as formerly, is now a matter of conscience. The Abbe Is—, a secret Jesuit, is at the head of an association called that of St. Joseph, in which workmen are enrolled in regular re giments. Even the femmes de chambre and lagurris some times mention that they are approved of by the Congre gation. In short, every rank cf society, if we may believe this writer, is influenced to a greater or less degree by these Jesuits. [From the Elnik, dated Sunday, March 8 1 Pants, ANCH 4. Ws have just received, by an extraordinary channel, the follow ing news from Madrid, dated 27th Feb. The band of Baran has been surrounded by the Royalist volun teers from Murcia and °allude. The two brothers, Bastan, were takenion tiv 2..2d Feb. with nineteen of their adherents; six others, including Lieui..Col. Selo, had been killed. The rest were pur sued in every direction. The revolutionists tame from Gibraltar. ‘re have said inet a deputation of the diet of Hungary had wait. ed on the Emperor of Austria to compliment hits on his birth. day. The followiag is the most remake:le passage of the Latin speech which the Archbishop of Koloos addressed to his Majesty on this occision in the name of the Diet. " The honourable mission which we have received so approach your Majesty comes very seasonably, to encble us to inform fo reigners how intimate and testier is the indissoluble bond which unites the King of Hungary to his Lithful kingdom. Your Majesty cannot be ignorant in what unworthy colours the Hungarian nation, which is so faithful to you, has been represented by the calumnia tors of our name and our constitutions. These enemies of all legi timate rule, of order, of tranquillity, and of all power established by God, dare to circulate and to insert in their journals assertions which our ancient constitution, consecrated by so many centuries, is treated with infamous derision, our fidelity to your sacred and be loved person is not only called into question, but black thoughts attributed to our nation from which our mindb recoil with horror." liis Majesty the Emperor replied in the following speech, which was also in Latin. " We receive with joy the oongratulations which Ism been pre. sensed to us by the deputation, in the name of the Diet of Hun- , gary. _ _ new Jesuits. h iv e hoard with ploasure, bet without surprise, the wow= of the pain which thy faithful estates of oar kingdom of Hungary have felt from the judgments concerning them, expresehd by ill-intentioned pommy, and fn* the rash hopes uttered at the gams time. But for the consolation of the estates we wore them that we throw over the efforts of such men the yril of con tempt which they deserve. Our Hungarian people know their King, and we know how to appreciate .as we ought this Imam which obeys oar eseptre. 6 ' We place the greatest ecnttdceee in the lancers •elehle of the estate* ; and this confidence Induces ua to add a few words, which the deputation wiil report to its constituents. The public good requires at all times, hut particularly In our days, not only that the roost perfect union and recipreeal confidence should exit between nations and their Dances, but also tha; they be evinced to all eyes in the most unequivocal manner. •. With a heart full of joy we assembled last autumn the estates of the kingdom around our Royal throoc. Every wort uttered by Os on the presentation of the !loyal propositions, sufficiently shows with what confidence this Diet was opened by us. Nr: justly formed a Lope that the estates of the kingdom would profit by this long-desired opportunity, to dedicate, under the protection of our thirty.tour yeani experience, th!s activity and ardent zeal to the objects judged necessary to thisreal good or the kingdom. " Have their ►abours, t:ue►r deliberations, and the result of them up to this time, attained the end of our wishes tilt) our hopes? 'We leave it to the estates themselves to decide ; a father gas a right to put !hit, question to his children. " We hope that these words; proceeding from the bottom of our heart, will attain, in the place where they ought to have their full force, the object which our benevolent intentions proposed. We have spoken thus because we wis".. to have ru reproach to make, either to ourself or our kingdom. " At the same time we assure the Deputation of our good *ill, and of our paternal and royal favour." Tittesrie, Feh. 20.

Business on the Stock Exchanges this morning was in a state of stagnation, owing to the uncertainty that specula tors are in, by reason of the CIIANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER not having brought forward tl:c 3nancial state ment of the year. The report to-day was that Mr. ItortiNsox wished to see the effect of the advance of the Bank to the commercial interest before he brought forward his Budget, which it is said will contain a propoal for a funding of Exchequer Bills, and a Loan for the payment of the Bank. The early bargains in Consols were done at 761, and after some trifling fluctuations thc7 closed at H. There was the same stagnation in the other Stocks and in the India Bonds. Exchequer Bills were watched will' some interest ; they were at par to 2 premium. Money on the Stock Exchange was at the rate of tbree per cent. per annum. The Foreign market as well as the English was without interest, and the transactions in it very limited. Colom bian Bonds were 47i, M'xican t per cents. 6I ti, Russian Bonds 7 tiZ, Greek ditto 174 IS, and Spanish ditto toj. We have been favoured with the perusal of several pri vate letters from the manufacturing districts, which cer tainly arc of a less gloomy character than those we have recently seen from the country. The Deputies from Glasgow leave London this evening . , having completed all their arrangements as to the propor tion of the three millions of money to he lent on personal security to their city ; they state that the whole is arranged perfectly to their satisfaction, and that it will be productive of much good. A Supplement to Saturday night's Gazette was published yesterday, containing several official dapatchee relating to the operations of the army under Sir Archibald Campbell, from the 2il April 1925 to the conclusion of the armistice with the Burmese, on 17th September. The Supplement also contains the conditions of the armistice, the substance of which we have previously given. AdvieFs from Hamburgh of the 213t1i ult. state that there were no failures in that city. The accounts from Russia continued gloomy ; 1,500 men are reported to be in prison on account of the late revolutionary movements, and fears were entertained that if the Government dared to put them to death serious consequences would ensue, as the conspi racy is stated to involve families of the first distinction, and persons not yet denounced. In the German papers which arrive:l ♦esterday we have accounts from St. Petersburgh of the 17th of February ; at that time the capital was perfectly tranquil. The pre ceedings against the persons implicated in the late con spiracy continued, but it is said that the Emperor tales every opportunity of conferring benefits upon their fami lies. O❑ the ath of February he addressed the following Rescript to General Rajefsky, two of whose sons were ar rested on suspicion of being concerned in the conspiracy:— " I have very great pleasure in informing you that the commission which has investigated the candect of your sons has found them perfectly innocent, and free from an; participation in the association of the evil-minded, and that I must heartily rejoice at seeing the children of so worthy a father perfectly exculpated." Letters from Odessa received yesterday to the Sth ult. state the continued arrests of officers of distinction in the Russian army on the Prtith. There have been no tnoec ments in the large force in that quarter. Letters from Smyrna of the eth ult., state that no recent intelligence had been received from the Melva. The Buenos Ares mail brings advices of the safe ar rival of the Thalia in the River Pieta with the first body of settlers for the lands of the Rio de la Flats Agricultnral Association, and a copy of the order of the Brazilian Ad miral Don Rodrigo Jose Lobo, commanding the blockad ing squadron, giring permissicei for the settlers with their stores to proceed to the settlements without interruption.

TO THE EDITOR 01. - I'IIE lila'TtSll PRESS. Stn, —l felt much surprised on perusing yolir pPper of this mortify, at finding a denial of the farts contained in my letter, which appeared in the Briii44Press of Eaturday. Sir, it is; not upon the statement of anonymous cones pondents that I wish your readers to rely ; but I again say that Master Courtehay has net attended to his duties in the Master's Office, since his appointment to a situation in the House of Lords ; anti fflln the natere of my avoca tions I am the better prepared to assert this, having several suits in his office, and which have fur the last two months remained dormant. if your readers are not satisfied with this explanation, I beg of . them tc inquire at Mr. courte nay's cdree, in Southampton-lini!ilings, Chancery-lane. I ' do not wish to cucumber your columns With any further ss!aternent upon • this subject, as they have been open to a wide tldd of contetversy and cavil already ; but, whatever your correspondent, " A, Lover of Fairylay,'? 1111017/ thirtß. prOper Aspala toisscrt, I shall not :Mike any furthez reply to, but shall leave the case to the sagacity and inquiry of your readers; although I cannot conclude the subject with.. out observing that it is the duty of every person who pre tends to give information to the public, to take care that be is accurate, and to obtain his information from an undeni able source, and not to make a statement merely far the purpose of idle disputation. PS your c•wrespondeut has-done. I gm, your obedient servant, A CIL:NCI:RV PIZACTITIONER. Monday, March 6, 1826. THE ELEPHANT. TO TEE r.DITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS. Sist,—l find it very generally stated in all the news papers that the Er sr /lAN : was dissreed. I was myself led to believe that this operation was to have taker place, and attended to witness it, but was disappointed. He was ca: up, but it was aftet the same sort of manner as an ox is cut up at a carcase-butcher's. Ile *as embowelled, and the heart, the liver, and all the different viscera taken out, but no pert whatever underwent any anatomical process. In fact, the dissection of such an animal, to have been pro perly performed, would have occupied ten or twelve days: but the result would have amply repaid both the trouble and the expense. Five guineas had been offered for the heart, by a surgical pupil in Northamptonshire, but the offer was refused, a previous asreement having been matte for the purchase of it by a surgeon in London. Several of the viscera were likewise separately sold. The flesh. Was given to be devoured by the other animals of the menagerie. Some of it was boiled, that such as were curious might ascertain how it would taste when dressed ; it was tasted by a great many of the visitors, and was found to differ very little, if at all, from the flesh of other granivorous animals. The aletleirm has been purchased for a foreign museum. Many scientific persons, as well surgeons as phrenologists, had expressed great anxiety that the brain should be dissected by Dr. SreIIZHEIM, who expressed, on his part, the utmost readiness to perforM the operation ; but on application being made for this purpose to Mr. Cross, his Lronsent could not he obtained, as the head of the skeleton would not in that case be perfect, owing to the necessity of sawing the skull asunder, in order to remove i the brain. It is greatly to be lamented that the opportunity should thus have been lost of comparing the brain of so large a. quadruped az the elephant with that of man and of °thee animals ; and the more so as hie properties are so singular and his sagacity so remarkable. Much knowledge of ex treme importance to the interests both of intellectual and anatomical science could not fail to hare been obtained by operating on so large a subject, in which the organization, being on so grand a scale, every function would be found developed with the utmost distinctness, owing to the size of the diflirent nerves and membranes ; and all the valu able purposes io which they were subservient might have been traced with the utmost minuteness. Every friend of science must regret that we have lost the means of studying an watorny from which so much rut:. able information might have been acquired. Bedford-square. X. Y. 31.411KETS.
