SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. It is the peculiar boast of this United Kingdom, that the inhabitants are more united than those of any other Empire or Kingdom in Europe. From the faci lities of land and water communication enjoyed by us, ideas and productions are rapidly circulated through out the country ; and with the exception of a few re mote districts in Wales, the south and West of Ireland,. and the Highlands of Scotland, of which the popula tion is at most a million and a half, it may be said that the people of the three kingdoms all speak the Eng lish language, and enjoy more or less a familiarity with English literature. The Union with Scotland now dates so far back, that were it not for the separate Church Establishment and laws, it would be almost as absurd to distinguish between England and Scotland, as between the Counties Palatine of Lancaster, Chester, and Durham, and the rest of England. There is, in short, a much stronger resemblance in appearance, dialects, and habits between the English north of the Trent and the Scotch south of the Frith of Tay, than there is between the English north of the Trent, and the English of the southern counties. We be lieve that most of the people of the three kingdoms are fully impressed with a sense of the advantages they de ris e from a community of feeling, and that it is no longer possible to rekindle the jealousies which the na tives of the three kingdoms and different parts of the same kingdom, entertained of each other. Were it possible to revive these absurd jealousies, we should speak in terms of severe reprobation of an attempt in the Times to set the people of different parts of the empire by the ears. But fortunately, there is so little danger of any mischief from the attempt, that derision is the only feeling it will generally excite. The Times has long been harping on the comparatively greater immber of Scotch and Irish than of English Members who support Ministers ; and now it also discovers that there are a greater number of Scotch and Irish than of English in the Cabinet and in secondary offices. "We now feel bound," says the honest and candid oracle of Printing-house square, "to expose the perfidious, un-English, and insulting superiority which the Cabinet faction, while affecting to maintain inviolate the integrity of the political trig juncta in uno, have yielded to Ire land and Scotland, at the expense of England, in casting the characters of their political entertainment, and in appointing their subordinate officials. Finding that no effective support could be reckoned on from the more intelligent and numerous Sassenachs in Par liament, their party instincts, clinging to the Treasury 'with a tenacious gripe, impelled them to purchase sena torial aid from the Northern and Hibernian Celts, in whom alone they live, and move, and have their being. And on what terms has the purchase been made ? Why, not only by acting the part of puppets to their Scotch and Irish string-drawers, and by dancing just as they chose to pipe, but by dispensing among them by far the larger proportion of State offices, to the almost entire exclusion of England from any share ill the executive of these realms." And then we are told, in proof of all this, that Englishmen arc ruled and ridden at home by 1. An Irish First Lord of the Treasury—Lord Melbourne. 2. An Irish Secretary for Foreign Affairs—Lord Palmerston. 3. An Irish Lord President of the Council—Lord Lansdowne. 4. An _Trish Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests— Lord Duncannon. Moreover, we are told that Lord Glenelg, Mr. Aber erombv, Earl Minto, the Hon. Captain Elliott, Ad miral Adam, Mr. Fox Maule, Sir John Campbell, Mr. Cutlar Fergusson, Colonel Leith Hay, Lord Dal meny and Mr. Robert Steuart, are Scotchmen. With respect to the four Lords, said to be Irishmen, it is notorious that, with the exception of Lord Duncannon, they are Englishmen by breeding and connections. Who ever thought of ranking Lord Melbourne as an Irishman ? It has been well observed by the Courier that the Times, about this period last year, " was not filled with any wrath at finding the Government com posed of the f o ll ow i ng Irish and Scotch noblemen and gentleme n :—the Duke of Wellington, the E ar l o f Aberdeen, the Earl of Rosslyn, the Earl of -Had dington, Lord Maryborough, Lord Stormont, Mr. G. Dawson, Colonel Perceval, Admiral Beresford, Sir George Cockburn, Mr. Maurice Fitzgerald, Sir A. Craig Grant, Sir George Clerk, and the Earl of Roden, in all fourteen representatives of the two other parts of the Empire." The Courier sets the Times right with respect to several names improperly included in the list of Scotchmen and Irishmen in office, and adds several other Scotch and Irish names to the list of the Peel-Wellington Administration. But we have no patience to pursue the subject further. Thc English are too sensible a people to be the dupes of such a puerile attempt. In forming an Administra tion, the consideration is not whether an individual -belongs to Yorkshire, Cornwall, Scotland, or Ireland, ' but what is his weight with Parliament and the country ? Of all the absurd ideas, the idea of as- signing Cabinet Ministers to the three kingdoms respectively, in any determined proportion, would be the most absurd. The number of public men fit for office in any particular division of the ern ' pire, must vary at different periods. It is no doubt true that more Scotch and Irish Members support the Ministry than oppose them. But the cause of this is sufficiently obvious. The Reform in Scotland was more effectual than in England ; for Municipal Re form followed close on Parliamentary Reform ; and in Scotland there are no venal freemen and tenancies at will. It has not 'even been surmised that a single vote was purchased in Scotland at the elections since the passing of the Reform Bill. Ministers are supported by Irish Members, because they look to a Reform Mi nistry alone for the salvation of their country, which has long suffered under Tory misrule. In England the great majority of the Representatives of the large and independent constituencies support Ministers ; and though on some vital questions a bare majority of English Members opposed them, the Tories were in debted for this, not to the Representatives of the people of England, but to the imperfections of the system which the Reform Bill did not eradicate. The people of England repudiate the advocacy of the Times. They do not identify themselves with the Tory Members who are not returned by them, but in spite of them. They are not such fools as to suppose that the nomi nee of a Tory Aristocrat, who owes his entrance to Parliament to bribery or intimidation, is necessarily a better and more honourable man than the Representa tive of a Scotch or Irish constituency. If Mr. O'Con nell was, in his despair of redress for his countrymen, foolish enough to use the term Sassenach in an invi dious sense, this part of his conduct is not admired, and it certainly will not be imitated by the people of England. They have no wish to separate themselves from their Scotch and Irish brethren, and though they might pity the Scotch, when a small knot of indivi duals disgraced their country, by returning men who abetted every Ministry in its worst and most corrupt measures, they now rejoice that the Reform Bill has put an end to this abomination, and only wish that the Reform Bill could be made as effective in England as it has been in the Northern part of the island.— Morning Chronicle. The case of the marine who was lately flogged at Woolwich for making away with his knapsack full of necessaries, has produced a deep.and general sensation of disgust at the infliction of that species of punish ment on British soldiers, to which the Coroners Jury in their verdict have attributed the culprit's death. It is no business of ours to defend the crime for which this man suffered the sentence of a Court-martial, or to pronounce a peremptory decision upon the question, whether all manner of corporal chastisement could, with due regard to the maintenance of discipline, be under every possible circumstance of peace or war dis pensed with. In war, and before an enemy, it might probably be found unavoidable. But is it not well worth inquiring into, whether in time of peace, and in home quarters, some mode of repressing military crime might not be adopted less odious to the public feeling of the country than that of the cat-o'nine-tails ? It is a matter of public notoriety that a Commission has been appointed within the last six or seven months by .the Crown, to investigate minutely this important question. The members composing it have, it is said, been assisted by some officers of the French army, men - - -`6l-"fSieperience and high professional reputation, from whom a report either has been, or is to be presented, containing, as is hoped, the rationale of a subject which demands for its satisfactory elucidation an inter mixture of comprehensive views of human nature, and of the national character of Englishmen ; with a sound and accurate knowledge of the resources of military discipline, and of the powers and means by which a modern army can best be held together. A punish ment which by men generally is held to be disgrsceful, cannot be resorted to in any department of the public service, without affixing to that branch of the service some portion of discredit. We are aware that the small pay of a soldier, which does not equal that of a day labourer, when regarded in connexion with a life of hardship, with a frequent exposure to per sonal danger, and with a banishment from his na tive country to pestilential climates for more than two-thirds of his military life, do not present the highest inducements to young men in comfortable cir cumstances or of decent education and habits to enlist as soldiers. In this country, moreover, there can be no conscription, which furnishes the ranks of the conti nental armies with a liberal supply of men qualified in a great degree for officers. Yet are we convinced that something might be done by substituting reward for punishment—such as increased pay to soldiers dis tinguished by good conduct—honorary decorations— a prospect of better pensions than are at present be stowed—an admission, in some cases, after their dis charge, to electoral rights in the places of their birth, or in those wherefrom they were enlisted—and sundry other appeals to manly ambition and honourable senti ments ;—we are, we repeat, satisfied that by such ex pedients as these, a great and salutary influence might be wrought upon the spirit of British soldiers, and a degree of self-respect disseminated throughout the army, which would produce a high level of average demeanour and morality, and would gradually render the abomination of lacerating a soldier's person a rare exception to the ordinary means of confining him with in the paths of his duty.—Tinges. We have repeatedly called for the abolition of the cruel and unnecessary punishment of military flogging. Public opinion has echoed our sentiments on the sub ject ; but the united efforts of the Press and the public to relieve the character of the country from the stain which this barbarous practice fastens upon it, and to secure the substitution of some mode of rational car aection for a punishment which lacerates the body and brutalises_ the mind, have hitherto been in vain. Hu manity is still outraged, and civilisation set at defiance by the spectacles of military torture which a bigotted attachment to the nine-tailed cat and the halberds pre sents. Why should military power be permitted to apply that instrument of man-degrading torture, and sometimes of death, to the back of the British soldier, which British mercy has indignantly struck from the hand of the owner of the black slave ? The public are already informed by the report of a Coroner's in quest, which appeared on Saturday in this and other journals, that an unfortunate man, who had committed some offences against military subordination, has fallen a victim to the consequences of his punishment, which induced tetanus and death—the words of the verdict returned by the Coroner's Jury being, that " Thomas Ramsay came to his death in consequence of a locked-jaw, arising from the punishment received in pursuance of the sentence of a Court-martial." Thus the sentence, though not intended to be such, has, by its fatal result, been in effect one of capital punish ment with torture This is not the first time that we have had to comment upon such a fatal occurrence re sulting from the application of the British knout to the naked backs of British soldiers. In the present in stance, it is true, that the unfortunate man did not receive near so many lasheS as other soldiers have re ceived, and yet survived. But we need not say that one man will endure twice or three times the number of lashes that will suffice to kill another. It appears also that in Ramsay's case the punishment actually in flicted was short of the quantity allotted by the sen tence, the surgeon having ordered him to be taken from the halberds before the drummers had completed their legally prescribed task. It appears that the de ceased had been sentenced to receive 150 lashes, but was taken down when he had received 134. It also appears that four drummers were employed to flog him, one relievin ,, the other at every 25 strokes, which 25 strokes should be multiplied by nine to give the number of actual stripes. The severity of the flogging thus administered, fresh and fresh, by vigorous arms, may be inferred from the condition of the body when examined by the Jury, which is thus described : " The Jury went to view the body, which was lying in the military hospital. It was laid on the back, but the Jury ordered it to be turned over, when the back pre sented an appearance that drew forth a uiversal burst of horror from the Jurors. It was deeply excoriated, and was encrusted with matter and blood. The Foreman measured with a rule the extent of the wound, and found it 13 inches in length, extending from the tip of one shoulder to the other. The left arm was also marked with the lash in five places. On the breast were marks of blisters, which Mr. Hunter, the military surgeon, con sidered to have been applied a few days before death. Mr. Hunter said the deceased complained of shortness of breath." Any person who asserts that military subordination cannot be maintained, in a time of profound peace, without offending the feelings of the British public in the nineteenth century by such disgusting spectacles, uses the strongest argument that can be used against the existence of a standing army. We believe that mili tary subordination can he more effectually preserved without having recourse to such a mode of punishment than through its revolting means. Why need we re peat the arguments which we have used before upon this subject, and which have never been answered ? Why need we quote the authorities again that we have quoted, and which ought to convince every rational mind that the barbarous punishment of the blood dripping cat is no more necessary to uphold military discipline than the slow torture of that inhuman inflic tion called the peine forte et duce, under which crimi nals who stood mute were gradually pressed to death, was necessary to the effective administration of civil justice ? But why was the prisoner taken down from the halberds before he received the whole of the allotted punishment ? The surgeon who was in at tendance ought to be able to answer that question, and we here give the whole of his evidence, which we think deserving of the particular attention of the public : Mr. Henry Parkins, surgeon to the regiment, saw the deceased punished, and ordered him to be taken down when he had received 130 lashes. He had been often in the hospital, and had refused his medicine, and had behaved in a very refractory manner, and, as he was to be drummed out of the regiment, witness thought the sooner his back would be healed, the sooner he would be got rid of, and for thatireason alone he ordered him to be taken down. Two days after his punishment, he wasso well as to wish to be let out to walk about, which was not allowed. The habi tual excesses of the deceased had produced a morbid de bility, which made the punishment more dangerous than it would have been to a healthy man. Never saw lock jaw produced by flogging during 40 years' service on sea and land. "By the Foreman—The locked-jaw was the consequence of the flogging, the deceased being so predisposed, but that could not be foreseen. He cried out during the punish ment, which was not more severe than usual. In the second dressing nitrate of potash was applied to promote suppura tion. Blood-letting was necessary to reduce the fever. He was bled but once, and 16 ounces taken away. If any one said he was bled three times it was a mistake. He might have dropped his head, but witness did not observe it. He did not flinch at all, but stood it like a Briton.—(Laugh ter.) If Dr. Billings said the man was bled three times, it was wrong. " Dr. Billings—l said no such thing. " The Foreman and several of the Jury—O, yes, you did ; we took it down. Now we should observe that Colonel M'Cleverty, in his examination, stated that when the deceased was taken down, at the order of the surgeon, he did not ap pear much exhausted or severely punished, and that he walked away from the triangles. It is generally under stood that the surgeon only can order a cessation of the punishment before the completion of the sentence, upon seeing reason to apprehend that _further punishment would put life in danger. Now' one of the drummers who had to execute the sentence, deposed that the de ceased " dropped his head and fainted" while he was flogging him ; but let his evidence speak for itself " Sanderson, one of the drummers, a man about 45, stated that Harryman took the first turn ; himself the second ; Sutherland the third ; and Purkis the fourth. The deceased dropped his head and fainted while I was flogging him. We don't separate the lashes only at first. I have flogged men hundreds of times. The witness pointed out one of the cats as that which he had used, and said, I always uses that when I gets it, because it swings better than some. I know it by the knot at the handle, and a place where I can fit my finger well to hold it tight.' The business-like way in which this witness spoke ex cited expressions of disgust amongst the Jury." We do not wonder that such a mode of punishment has the effect of indurating the feelings of those who have to administer, and those who witness it—the wonder would be if it did not. It also appeared in evidence that the deceased had been in the hos pital three times in the course of the previous twelve months, and was of a very irritable temperament. A question may then arise, that, supposing such a mode of punishment prpper in other cases, was he in such a state of bodily health as to be a fit sub ject for such punishment ? We question not the legality of the sentence, and we are sure the Court martial that sentenced him believed that he could have borne the punishment without danger to his life. Our object is to obtain such a reform of the military penal code as will take from Courts-martial the power of the lash altogether, and to oblige them to use rational and reformatory punishments in place of that implement of bodily torture and mental degradation. We expect that the oase of Thomas Ramsay will become a sub ject of inquiry in Parliament, and that his fate will seal the doom of a mode of punishment which ought not to have survived the thumb-screw, the bootikins, and the rack of the dark ages. During the late Administration of Sir Robert Peel a Commission was appointed, if we mistake not, to inquire and report upon the practice of military flogging, with a view to its abolition. What has become of that Commission we know not. The Whig Ministers do not seem to have taken any step in the matter, yet the Whigs used, in their days of patriotic aspiration to office, to express no small abhorrence of this inhuman practice. As to Sir J. C. Hobhouse, it was part and parcel of the staple of public grievances in which he used to deal. Sir John is now one of the Members of the Whig Government, under whose authority the British knout appears to be applied as vigorously as ever it was in the time of peace, to the persons of the brave defenders of their country. This is'no political question. Whigs and Tories are both to blame that so barbarous a punishment has so long continued to disgrace the national character. Napo leon subdued the whole continent of Europe with le gions that had never heard the sound of the lash. The absolute King of Prussia has lately abolished the severe corporal punishment of the lath or cane in his army. But let the " Liberal" Government of Eng land be as attached as it may to sanguinary punish ments, it must in this, as in other instances, submit to that sentence of enlightened public opinion which has gone forth against them.—Morning Herald. The acquittal of the captains of the two steam ves sels, who were recently' lodged in gaol on Coroners' warrants, for having wilfully, or negligently run down certain boats in the river, and thereby caused a serious and melancholy loss of life, must be extremely gratify ing, not only to all the friends of justice and humanity, but to all those who are desirous of promoting the cause of improvement or aiding the march of civiliza tion. No other decision could have been come to by any twelve men of the commonest understanding, or commonest pretensions to common sense ; and how the Coroners' Juries came to the conclusion that they had been guilty of manslaughter, and that it was necessary to send them before a Jury of their countrymen to ac quit themselves of the imputed, but groundless guilt, it is impossible to conceive. There was not a tittle of evidence to warrant the verdicts returned by them, either in the one case or in the other. In that of Mr. Fair bairn, especially, there was not a shadow of a shade of it. The vessel which he commanded was steering her right course—that which fell a sacrifice to her, the very reverse of that which she ought to have pursued. Those also on board the Government boat were per fectly aware that the steamer could not pursue any other—she was, furthermore seen by them in suffi cient time, and at a sufficient distance, to have enabled them to pursue their proper course, and to have per mitted the: steamer to pursue hers ; but" once wrong and always wrong"—the error was seen, but could not be repaired—the helmsman became nervous and undecisive as to what he should do—and hesitation, as it generally dOes, produced the very catastrophe which a fixed resolution . would have avoided. This is a brief, but substantially true statement of the case ; and yet, without knowing almost anything against Mr. Fairbairn except the bare facts of loss of vessel and lives, a Coroner's Jury .deemed it agreeable to the laws of evidence to return a verdict of manslaughter, which has been very properly quashed by one of greater compe tence. Just, however; as the ultimate decision in both cases has proved, there can be little doubt that on these instances and some others of less recent date, the enemies of improved communication, and the sel fish abettors of rival schemes, now either in progress . or in prospect, will attempt to found charges of the incapacity of the river, on the one hand, to afford room for its navigation by steam-boats of any conside rable tonnage ; and, on the _other, of the extreme danger, in all cases, to the lives of his Majesty's sub jects from the latter. 'We hold both to be contemptible in the highest degree. Every one who has been in the habit l er proceeding up and down the river must know them to be unfounded. The number of steam-vessels navigating the Thames is exceedingly small, and could not of itself have caused the deficiency of room com plained of ; and we know from the official returns of the sailing vessels frequenting the river, that if they have not decreased, the increase has been too trifling to merit the slightest attention, as confining the navi gable space on the river. Instead, also, of the com manders of the steam-vessels being, if not blood-thirsty ruffians, at least careless of the loss of life, and neglect ful of the means of preventing is--the very reverse, in the generality of instances, is the case. Their own safety, as well as that of the crew, vessel, and passen gers under their charge, is as much at risk by neglect of duty, as that of the vessels with whom they may happen to meet upon the river ; and unless they are ' to be set down at once as either madmen or fools, there is no greater improbability than that they shoUld, either by themselves or by others, be guilty of the charges brought against them. What, then, it will naturally be asked, is the cause of the numerous and melancholy accidents which have recently occurred on the river ? If not from the want of room in the river, nor from the negligence of those in charge of steam boats, what do they proceed from ? We answer un hesitatingly, and not without good ground for the ob servation, first, from the general hostility borne towards the steamers by those whose trade they have cut up or de stroyed by the greater speed and certainty oftheir naviga tion, and the perpetual obstructions thrown in their way by them ; and, secondly, from the want of due rules and regulations for the navigation of the river. The former is too palpable to have escaped the attention of any one. The barge and other boatmen on the river, instead of making way for a steam-vessel, or getting out of her path as soon as possible, will either stand still, without touching either helm or oar, or will actu ' ally, on perceiving the approach of a steamer, throw their vessels across the river, so as, on all occasions, to delay the progress of the steamer, and on many, to render it impossible that a collision should not be the result. Many of them, in fact, appear to court the latter, instead of avoiding it—the fact being but too well known, that more is always to be recovered than the vessel is worth, and that there is no more pro fitable market to which a worn-out vessel can be sent than the steam fair. Again, with regard to the navigation of the river, we believe that there is no rule for its regulation, except that which limits the speed of steam-vessels in a certain part of it to five miles an hour. This is an excellent regulation ; but it ought to be followed by others, such as the carrying of lights at night by all vessels navigating the river—the keeping of a parti cular side of the river, as carriages and other vehicles of land accommodation are compelled to, do, except when the former are compelled to alter it on account of the state of the tide—and finally, by the establish ment of a police guard on the river, to compel vessels to obey the regulations which may be made, and to re port for proper piThishment those who may prove re fractory or negligent. With the adoption and enforce ment of such simple and such self-evident means of safety, we doubt not that, however the number of steam ves sels may increase, the navigation of the river might be rendered as safe, if not more so, than that of any other navigable canal of similar extent and proportionate concourse of vessels in any part of the world. We throw out these observations for the benefit of the meet ing which is advertised to be holden on Thursday next on the subject. No doubt many others will be suggested ; but those :which we have thus hastily thrown out have the recommendation not only of sim plicity, but of having met with the appobation of those whose whose experience entitles their judgment to the best consideratien.—Morning Advertiser. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1835. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Devonport Telegraph of Saturday.) By the Tartarus steam-vessel, arrived at Falmouth, we have papers and letters from Malta, dated the Bth inst. MALTA, Nov. B.—The squadron under the command of Sir Josias Rowley consisting of the Caledonia (flag ship), Canopus, Thunderer, Revenge, Edinburgh, Vernon, and Columbine, came to anchor in this port on the 16th ult., where it is expected, from the tranquillity that now prevails in the East, that it will winter. The Medea steam-frigate arrived here two days before. On the 23d the squadron was admitted to pratique, on which day the Barham came in from Corfu. The Volage arrived here from Constanti nople on the 30th ult. ; the Tartarus steamer from the. lonian Islands on the 4th ; and the Hind cutter yesterday from the Dardanelles. The Favourite is at Smyrna,and the Sapphire at Corfu. The Orestes is cruising off Tri poli ; the Beacon and Mastiff are surveying in the Levant, but may be shortly expected. The Pharamond, French steamer, left this at noon for Naples and Marseilles ; she is one of a line of packets intended to run between Marseilles and Greece ; but the Greek Government having declined the offer of the French Steam Company, these packets will not go beyond Malta ; the Pharamond is a beautiful vessel, elegantly fitted, and is of 140-horse power. The passage to and from Marseilles is 121. The Sully is to follow her, and may be expected here on the 14th inst. , Any person coming to this island may arrive here on the twelfth day after leaving London. The Barham and Vernon are to have a trial of sailing in a few days. The Revenge goes out as umpire ; heavy bets are pending on the result, which is looked for with much anxiety. It is believed that in a strong breeze the Barham will beat the Vernon, particularly if there should be a heavy sea at the time. On the 21st ult. Thomas Hawkins, a marine belonging to the Caledonia, who had been tried by Court-marti a at Navarino, for mutinous conduct, and condemned to receive a hundred lashes round the squadron, was put into the boat to undergo his sentence alongside the flag-ship ; he received sixteen lashes and fainted ; he was consequently taken down, and, it is understood, he is forgiven the remainder. The foreign ships in this port are the Neapolitan frigate 11 Cavalier d'Alfonso, and the Austrian corvette Caroline. The Cleopatra, 26, Hon. Captain Grey, arrived en Wed nesday from Sheerness. She will proceed to Rio de Janeiro to-morrow, taking a few marines and boys for the service of Admiral Sir Graham Hamond's squadron. The Hermes steamer anchored at Spithead this morning on her way to Plymouth and the Mediterranean ; she con veyed a few supernumerary marines to the former place after being a few hours at anchor. The appointment of Sir Peter Halket, G.C.H., as the successor of Sir George Cockburn, in the command on the West Indies and Halifax station, has been this week offi cially notified to the gallant Vice-Admiral, who it is said will hoist his flag on board the Melville. Capt. P. J. Douglas will be the Flag Captain, and J. Smith, Esq., the 'S , cretary. The Clio, 16, Commander Richardson, has left Lisbon for the coast of Catalonia ; she will in future he attached to the Mediterranean squadron. The Thalia, Admiral P. Campbell's flag ship, arrived at the Cape of Good Hope from Ascension on the 9th of September. The Fair Rosamond schooner captured in the month of July last, on the coast of Africa, the Polydora slave vessel, with 514 slaves on board. The Romney troop ship arrived at the Cape of Good Hope on the 18th of September, and was immediately or dered to proceed to Algoa Bay with the troops she carried out, in consequence of the Caffres having made fresh en croachments on the frontiers. The Rainbow, Magnificent, and Dee, were at Jamaica on the 17th ult. The President frigate left Quebec for Halifax on the 26th of September. The Emerald (tender) sailed on Tuesday with seamen for the Rodney at Plymouth. In Harbour.—Britannia, Royal George, Excellent, tEtna, Sulphur, Starling, and Raven. APPOINTMENTS.—Cornmander E. H. Scott to the Rod ney_(vice Mainwaring) ; Lieutenant J. M. Mottley to the Tweed; Lieutenant George Vincent to the President ; Lieutenant John Potbury to the Flamer ; Mr. J. Sturtwell and Mr. S. Murray, Masters' Assistants, to the Ranger ; Mr. L. G. Heath, College Midshipman, to the Harrier ; Mr. F. Marryat, and Mr. G. W. Towsey, volunteers, first class, to the Etna ; Mr. Henry Price to be Midshipman of the Raven ; Mr. J. C. S. Field, Mate, to the Rodney. The Surrey convict ship went out of harbour to-day. By accounts from Sierra Leone to the 19th of Septem ber, we are happy to learn that the squadron on that station was generally healthy. His Excellency the Governor, Major A. D. Campbell, who had recovered from a fever, was to take a cruise to the Gambia, with Rear-Admiral Campbell, in the Thalia. Major-General Sir S. Chapman is waiting here for a wind to proceed in the Princess Augusta to Bermuda, to resume the Governorship of that island. Mr. Phillips, ordnance storekeeper at Bermuda, also takes a passage in the Prin cess Augusta. The repairs of the Pique frigate are rapidly progressing in this dockyard, and will be completed on the 16th of Ja nuary, when it is presumed she will be re-commissioned by the Hon. Captain Rous. PLYMOUTH, Nov. 26.—The Stag frigate, Captain Lockyer, C. 8., arrived from Lisbon yesterday in six days, to be paid off. The Nautilus, 10, Lieutenant Crook, ar rived at Falmouth on Tuesday, and the Netley cutter at this port on Monday from the same quarter. The Nimrod is expected to sail about Saturday for the West India sta tion ; she takes out no less than six supernumerary Lieu tenants. The Tartarus steamer arrived on Monday at Falmouth with the Malta mail. The James Watt steamer, in the service of the Queen of Spain, arrived here on Wednesday with five thousand stand of arms, from the river, to be put on board the Rodney, for conveyance to Spain. The Rodney will also take on board from this depot a quantity of ammunition, &c., for the service of her Most Catholic Majesty. The Rodney will then sail for Barcelona. Commander Mainwaring has requested to be superseded from the Rodney, in consequence of an injury which he has received, by falling from the poop of that ship, on Thursday evening, the 19th inst. His Majesty's ships Malabar and Magicienne, and the French man-of-war Dryade, 60, were in Cadiz harbour on the 16th instant, all well, and expected to remain there five or six months. The Rodney will sail, on the arrival of volunteers from Portsmouth, for the north coast of Spain. She will be paid advance of wages on Monday. In Hamoaze—Royal Adelaide, Nimrod, Pearl, Water witch, Diligence naval transport, and Falmouth lighter. The Jupiter (with Lord Auckland, the Governor-General of India, on board), arrived at Madeira on the 13th October from Spithead. The Allotment System is at . present in operation, with the happiest results, in 15 parishes in one part of So mersetshire. The number of allotments is about 350, and nearly 1,600 of the labouring poor and their families are partakers of the great advantages thus conferred upon them. ...Exeter Flying Post. THE LATE DISTRESSING ACCIDENT AT GREENOCK.—The excitement and mourning produced here throughout the whole community, from the occurrence of the awful calamity by the breaking down of the reservoir of the Shaws Water Company behind the Whinhill, on Sa turday night, as detailed in- our last, still continues. No thing is talked of but the disastrous consequences of the event, and nothing is heard but countless narrations of the miraculous escapes of the survivors. The corpse of Mrs. Fergusson, mother of the girl who was carried by the tor rent as far as Cartsdyke Quay, and saved, was found on the opposite shore of Helensburgh, on Monday afternoon. Any of the other bodies that were carried into the sea, have not yet been discovered. During the whole of yesterday fune ral processions might be seen moving mournfully along the streets, numerous companies of the inhabitants having turned out simultaneously to escort the sufferers to the dif ferent grave-yards. The benevolence of the public for the relief of the immediate wants of the survivors continues as active as at the commencement of the subscription on Monday ; and the exertions of the Committee, and indeed the - whole members of the Ladies' Benevolent Society, have been great and unwearied, in providing cloth ing and other necessaries for the children and female por tion of the relatives. At the meeting held in the Town Hall, on Monday, nearly 700/. was collected before the gentlemen separated, and contributions still continue to be received. The neighbourhood of the catastrophe, especially at night, presents an awfully wild and frightful scene ; and, to a person intimate with the locality, and contrasting its present state with the past, it cannot be witnessed without feelings peculiarly painful. Cartsburn•street, down which the main torrent rolled with frightful fury, tearing up the pavement and the side-walks in its course, is still scarcely passable. The interior of the shops on each side of the street being completely destroyed are now shut up, which for some months will'give the place an exceedingly dreary appearance. By hundreds of the inhabitants of this place, but more especially by the distressed survivors, the sad calamities of that awful night will never be forgotten.— Glasgow Courier CHANCERY COURT.-MONDAY. SHAW V. RHODES. This was an appeal from a decision of the Vice-Chan cellor upon the construction of the will of the Rev. Mr. Hillier. The appeal had been heard by Lord Brougham when he was Lord Chancellor, and his Lordship said he would settle a case for a Court of Law, but the case was not sent, nor would the respondents now agree to any case, but insisted that the decree of the Vice-Chancellor was right. Mr. BEAMES was heard in support of the appeal. Mr. TRESLOVE was heard in support of the decree be low, and Mr. Beams replied.—Judgment was postponed. KING'S BENCH.-MONDAY. JOHNSON V. HUDSON AND MORGAN. The plaintiff was a butcher, living in the Edgware-road ; the defendant a green-grocer, residing opposite to him. In 1829 the defendant had been tenant to the plaintiff, occu pying at that time a house next door to him, but some dif ferences had arisen, and the defendant had received notice to quit. The defendant then took the house which he now occupied opposite to the plaintiff, and from that time to the present the greatest had been exhibited by him towards the plaintiff. In March or April, 1834, the defendant had been absent from home for a short time, and returned in May, and then had commenced on his part a course of vexatious 'conduct towards the plaintiff, such as was rarely heard of, and which, as the plaintiff desired to live in peace and comfort, he had been compelled to take this method to put a stop to. The defendant had printed 1,000 copies of songs alluding to the plaintiff, and which, as he happened to be a fat man, were called " The Bloater," and " The Lunatic Bloater," and had hired men to sing them about the streets. They were all written in the most doggrel verse, but they were calculated to render the plaintiff ridiculous, and annoy his family. The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 301. COMMON PLEAS.-MONDAY. HAY AND ANOTHER V. ELGOOD. The plaintiffs are respectable house-agents ; the defend ant is also a person of respectability. In the coffee-room of the City Mart a circumstance arose which excited the anger of the defendant, and he applied the word thieves to the plaintiffs, who demanded an immediate retraction of the term, which not being promptly- given, the present action was commenced, and some time after proceedings were taken the plaintiffs received a letter from the defendant, con veying what they considered only a qualified retraction. They thought more was due to their character. The accusation had been made publicly, and they demanded an equally public disavowal of any imputation being cast on them by the obnoxious epithet. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE here suggested that a Juror should be withdrawn. The parties having assented, it was done accordingly. PREROGATIVE COURT-MONDAY SARWOOD AND WALLIS V. RIPPON AND RIPPON. It will be remembered in this case that the testator, Mr. Thomas Rippon, late chief cashier to the Bank of England, died on the 13th of August, 1835. A variety of testa mentary papers were left by the deceased, of which those more particular'y before the'Court bore date severally June, 1827 ; April, 1834 ; and June, 1834. On a former Court day, probate was refused to the will of June, 1834, on the ground of non-execution, under circumstances which did not, in the opinion of the Court, account for such defect ; and the paper of April, 1834, being a draft of the will of June, was now propounded by the same parties. This draft was signed by the testator, and was endorsed with the fol lowing memorandum :—" This, in case of my death is to be taken for, and is, my last will, which, however, I intend .to write out fair, when I have time and leisure." The al legation propounding this draft now stood for admission, and was opposed by Dr. ADDAMS, who, on behalf of the executors under the will of 1827, contended that the meaning of the memoran dum evidently was, that in case of his sudden death the paper should become his will, but not othefwise. Dr. LUSIIINGTON, for the admissibility of the allega tion, urged the extreme care with which this draft was pre pared ; that it was, to all intents and purposes, a deliberate, revised, and re-considered draft. He trusted the Court would grant probate to the paper. Sir HERBERT JENNER rejected the allegation, and de creed probate to the will of the Ist of June, 1827. INSOLVENT COURT.-MONDAY. John Escudier, late of Escudier's Hotel, Albemarle street, Piccadilly, applied upon his petition to be discharged. He was opposed in_person by a creditor named Fortescue, and supported by Mr. Cooke. The insolvent was never proprietor of Escudier's Hotel. The property belonged to trustees of his wife ; he quitted the hotel two years ago, and since then he had been in the Fleet and King's Bench Prisons. He had some part of the time resided in the rules. He had since he had filed his schedule obtained a dispensation from the Court on the ground of severe indisposition. He was questioned at some length by the Learned Chief Commissioner. It appeared that be was a bankrupt in 1832, and obtained his certificate in the following year. He was discharged as an insolvent debtor in June, 1829. The Learned COMMISSIONER told him he was fortunate in not being opposed. He was experienced both in bank ruptcy and insolvency, and he advised bim to take care what he was about. He might not, if he again came there, be so lucky. The insolvent was discharged. Rosanna Saunders, described as a widow, was opposed in person by a creditor named Koe. The insolvent, who stated herself to be sister to the Countess of Waldeg-rave, was examined relative to an annuity of '2OOl. a year which she enjoyed for sixteen years, from the late Earl, who died in July last. The annuity was merely a gift, and not one to which she had any claim. The Earl had not mentioned her in his will, and the cessation of the annuity had occasioned her insolvency. A gentleman from the house of Jones and Bateman, of Lincoln's Inn, proved that the insolvent wa§ not entitled to any property from the deceased Earl. The Court, after some discussion, ordered the insolvent to be discharged. MAYOR'S COURT.-MONDAY. ORAM V. LORKIN, WALTONS, ROLLS, AND SUMMERS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a respectable tailor in Little Britain, for the recovery of 291. Bs., the price of clothes supplied for the use of the watchmen of one of the Wards of the City, by order of the defendants, who are Common Councilmen. The following were the particulars delivered in the cause :—" Sept., 1835--To fourteen coats and fourteen pairs of trowsers, made, found, and provided by the plaintiff for the defendants at 21. 2s. per coat and trowsers--291. Bs." Mr. Gurney stated the case ; and. after evidence to considerable length was heard, and the Reoorder summed up, the Jury returned a verdict for the defendants. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Yesterday William Davies, a porter at the Castle and Falcon Hotel, Aldersgate-street, was brought before Sir PETER LAURIE, charged on suspicion of stealing a gold mourning-brooch and a small gold pin. At the request of Mr. Wood, the prisoner was remanded for a week. Sir PETER LAURIE mentioned in the course of the day that the silent system had now been introduced into the City Bridewell, in consideration of which he abridged the term of imprisonment one-half. Upon committing some disorderly young women to that prison one of the unfortu nates promised to call at the expiration of her sentence, and tell him what she thought of the plan. MAR YLEBONE. Yesterday Monsieur Theleur, the celebrated professor of dancing, and who is likewise a contributor to several works of merit, was brought up on a warrant granted the same morning, on the application of Mr. Swift, solicitor, 81, Gower-street, charged with assaulting his wife, Madame Rose Theleur, against her will. Complainant, who appeared exceedingly agitated, occu pied apartments in Manchester -street, Manchester-square, and had been parted from her husband six months, that she left him in consequence of his ill-treatment, and had since entirely depended on her own individual exertions for sup port. That morning she sent for a coach ; and, having got in, desired to be driven to the house of her solicitor (Mr. Swift), but had not proceeded far when the coach was stopped by the defendant, who got in ; and, holding her down with much violence on the seat, thrust his hands into her pockets and took out all her papers. She then begged to be allowed to go to Gower-street or to a Police Office, but lie conveyed her to his own residence in Marlborough street, where he forcibly detained her till the warrant was served - on him. Proceedings, which would soon be settled, were pending between them in Doctors'-Commons. The defendant, in reply, never used any violence towards his wife ; whom, on the contrary, he always treated with kindness. Air. RAwLiNsoN—lt is a great pity some friend don't interfere and try to make peace between you. Will you allow her to go back to her lodgings until the matter is arranged ? Defendant—Certainly, I'll let her go home ; and if I am again brought before you, you can act with me as you think proper. The warrant was then ordered to stand over for a week ; and the parties, Madame Theleur, accompanied by Mr. Swift, left the Office. UNION HALL. Yesterday „Tees Dinsdale, Henry Early Dinsdale, and Elizabeth Dinsdale, the wife of the former, were brought before Mr. TRAILL, charged on suspicion with stealing, jewellery, plate, and other articles to the amount et 10,0001., the property of a lady named Talebey, residing within a short distance of Milford Haven, in Pembrokeshire' Mr. Fitch, the solicitor of Union -street, attended on the part of the prosecution. It appeared that on or about the 11th of September the complainant's house, s ituated as above, had been ransacked of je we ll er y, consisting of diamonds, pearls, and other costly articles, together vrit a , massive plate, estimated at a low calculation to be ei the value of 10,000/. The prisoner, James Dinsdale, is nearly allied to the complainant, and had spent song portion of the last summer at he r r es id ence i n W a les, and soon after his departure she came up to town, leaving th e housekeeper and her husband in care of the houSe• During the complainant's absence nearly the whole of the jewellery and plate was taken away, and upon an inveeti; gation into the circumstances subsequently to her a rrive: in Wales and tie discovery of the robbery it was ascertaine d that James Dinsdale had been at the house in the interval; and from the inquiries into the affair on the spot, he O s the party upon whom suspicion rested, which was strength' erred from the fact of his keeping out of the way soon after the robbery had been effected. About five weeks ag e printed placards were distributed, detailing the robber)" , specifying the description of property stolen, and offering a large reward for the apprehension of the parties concerned. Application was also made at the station' house in the Southwark Bridge-road, and Inspecto r Fagan, division M, was employed to trace the property, and apprehend the suspected party. In the course of the l• 0 ' spector's inquiries he obtained such information as led to the apprehension of James Dinsdale, at Eltham, in Ken t ' and in his possession were found two valuable diamon d brooches, identified as forming part of the stolen property The other two prisoners (man and wife) were subsequently taken into custody, and in a house within a short distance, of Oxford, which they had a short time p rev i ous ly t a ken 01 a man named Randall, jewellery and plate belonging to the complainant, amounting in value to nearly 2,0001., besides three hundred sovereigns, were discovered. A grea t por• tion of this property, recovered by Inspector Fagan, as sisted by Hughes, the beadle of St. George's, was produced before the Magistrates, and consisted of diamond rings' bracelets, ear-rings, and other articles of jewellery, besides articles of table services, and other massive pieces of plate. Henry Early Dinsdale should admit at once that he had the two brooches in his possession when taken into cue' tody ; but he told the inspector, at the same time, that they had been given to him by James Dinsdale. James Dinsdale expressed a desire for the postponemefi t of the case, in order that he might be enabled to bring for ward such proofs in his own behalf, and that of his wife, e s would establish their innocence of so serious a charge. t . Mr. TRAILL said that it was nece ssar y f or th e e nds 0 ' justice to remand them all. MR. GLEIG'S NEW WORK, " CHAONICLEs 01 WALTHAM."—" This work rivals, in engrossing interest, the most imaginative fictions of Bulwer or D'lsraeli. It contains one of the most accurate, animated, and grapinl descriptions of the past and present st a t e o f our agr i cu ltum population, of their opinions and their habits, that has ever come under our notice. There is in Mr. Gleig's portraits and incidents so much of positive, as well as poetical trutb , that we are tempted to forget the boundary which sepaiates facts from fiction, and to mistake the chronicles of imagi' nary, for the records of real events."—Morning Post. POOR LAWS.-At Wakefield, in 1831, three poor' rates were levied, each to the amount of eight shillings la the pound. This year there has been one rate o f e ight shillings in-the pound, and a second of four ; and it is er petted that a third rate will not be required to exceed four , making a reduction on the yearly rateage of 1831, of eigh t shillings in the pound.—Halifax Express. AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.—On Sunday morn' ing the following awful instance of sudden death ne . curred to Mr. George Ribeau, who for upwards of half t; century had carried on the business of a newsvender an d stationer, at No. 2, Blandford-street, Manchester-square; The deceased, who was about seventy-six years of age, an d of remarkably sober and domestic habits, got up early in the:morning as usual, and having at eight o'clock sat down with his wife and ate a hearty breakfast, he went down stairs into the kitchen to wash his hands, and was returning up again, when, near the landing-place, he suddenly fell back upon his head, and never spoke afterwards. Medica l assistance was promptly resorted to, but the vital spark had fled. The deceased was respected by all who knew him' He generally enjoyed good health. The body awaits a CO' roner's Inquest.
