The General Officer will charge the Commanding Officers to 'encourage. the subalterns of their respec tive corps to qualify themselves for the duties of Adjutant, both in the field and in the orderly room, and to afford to them every facility for acquiring a competent knowledge of such duties; and it should be pointed out to them, that by shewing a zealous desire to render themselves thus useful, they will strengthen the claim which they may have to ad vancement in the service. " The General Officer will point out to Officers commanding Regiments and Corps, the necessity and importance of their requiring Captains and Subalterns of Companies to become thoroughly ac quainted with the character, disposition, temper, and habits, of every Non-commissioned Officer and Sol dier of their resp ect i ve C om p an i es , so as to b e a b le to answer, at once , an d correctly, any questions which may be addressed t o them b y their superior- Officers. This knowledge can only be attained by unremitted attention to every detail of duty, and b y close observation. Finally, the General Officer will take every opportunity of impressing upon the Commanding Officer, and through him upon those of every rank, the advantage which they, individually, the corps, and the service at large, will derive from the adop tion towards the non-commissioned officer and soldier of a system of command and treatment which shall be free from the coarse and offensive language too often used in reproving the soldier for trifling irregularities, or for accidental omissions. They , should be told that the use of gross language and offensive terms, upon any occasion, is not only unbe corning their own character and station, as Officers and Gentlemen, but degrading to the soldier, whereas it is desirable to keep up in all ranks of the Army a proper feeling, and high sense of honour, by which the correct discharge of duty will be best ensured. The gross abuse which is often lavished on a sol dier for a trifling fault, an accidental mistake, or an unintentional omission, produces irritations or sulk, and to this cause, more than to any other, may be traced nets of insubordination, which entail the ne cessity of severe punishment. If reproof be neces sary, it should be conveyed in such a manner, and in such terms, as will make a lasting impression, with cat hurting the feelings of the individual and lowering him in his own estimation. The Officers should, not only themselves, observe this injunction, but they. ie will should require it to be observed by the Non-comm very is sioned Officers, and indeed their exa m p soon have the effect of checking the use of improper and offensive terms on the part of the Non-commis sioned Officers towards the Soldiers. If acts of in- 1 ten tional neglect and of insubordination should take place, although wholly unprovoked by any treatment received, the means of correction and punishment which are authorised by the regulations of the ser vice must be resorted to, and they will have double effect if not preceded by coarse and abusive language; indeed it will probably be found that they will be .come comparatively rare, as the duty will be done snore cheerfully and zealously. Py command of the Right Hon. General Lord Hill, N. TAYLOR, Adjutant-General. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, who is at present in Paris, is busily employed in making the fullest inquiries into the French law of Imprisonment for Debt. On Wednesday last the Honour able Baronet, accompanied by the Pmcureur General and other Magistrates, visited the pri son of St. Pelagic (the only one for debt in the French capital), and after listening to the obser vations of the Committee chosen by the Debtors to watch over their interests, proceeded to the different Chambers, and put numerous questions to the prisoners individually. A German Journal states, " that Field Mar shal Count WITTGENSTEIN has fallen into dis grace, and is to be succeeded in his command by General PASKEWITCH, whose campaign in Asia has been more successful than that in Eu rope. This change is probably meant to restore confidence to the army, and to silence its com plaints. All the accounts, whether by private letters or eye-witnesses, state that the losses of the Russian army, its disorganiza tion, and wretchedness, exceed all that can be imagined from the contents of the official statements, and the sufferings of the sal. diers have been nearly as great as those of 'the French in their retreat from Moscow. It ap pears 'that the rumours which had circulated during the campaign, as to the want of harmony and union which existed amongst the Chiefs, were not without foundation." There is a report circulating in the City that orders have been sent to Plymouth to stop till embarkation of the Portuguese Refugees. German Papers of the 17th inst. have been received, but their contents abound more in re ports respecting the affairs of the East, than in authentic intelligence.

In this case it is clear the defendant engaged to sell a free hold estate, and the very first deed that was read sheaved part of it to be leasehold. Under such cir cumstances the plaintiff is justified in refusing to complete the contract, and is entitled to recover the deposit. Mr. Pota.ocx--That being your Lordship's opi nion, "will not waste the time of the Court, but submit to a verdict against my client for the amount sought to be recovered, less the auction duty, which was not disputed that Mr. Robins had paid, but as .this was not an action brought against my client for neglect of duty, there was not a shadow of blame attempted to he attached upon him. Your Lord ship will, therefore, give me liberty to move the Court on the point of law. Lord TuNTERDEN---Certainly. A verdict was then given for the plaintiff for 355/., and three years' interest on that sum. Mr. PoLLocx.—Perhaps your Lordship will al low me to call the attorney for Mr. Robins, to prove that there is another action against him for this de posit, brought by the vendor of the estate, and is now pending in the Court of Exchequer—leavebeing given, the Learned Coansel called a 1% itness who proved that fact. Lord TENTERDEN.—You have done right in proving that fact, no man ought to be called upon to pay twice over. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. DUVAL V. BURY AND OTHERS. In this case the plaintiffs had contracted with the defendants to pull down certain premises situated near Houtisditch, and build others on the site, for a stipulated sum. Subsequently alterations were made in the plan, which increased the expence, and the present action was brought to recover 15701. which it was stated arose entirely out of the directions from the original contract. It was agreed between Counsel to take a verdict for the plaintiff for 2,0001. subject to a referenee. By order of the Commissioners, Custom-house, Dec. 20. T. WHITIIORE, Sec. Three par Cent.

THE LAST CHRISTMAS AT EXETER 'CHANGE!—GRAND SKELETON OF THE ENORMOUS ELE PHANT SHOT AT THE MENAGERIE !—As this will, in all probability, be the last Christmas the public will have an opportunity of inspecting this unrivalled establishment, which for so many years has upheld its claim to their kind patronage, the Proprietor respectfully hopes that he shall be honoured by an inspection; without fear of contradic tion be asserts, that never since its first foundation was the Menagerie so complete in all its parts, and he is con fident his juvenile friends will experience a great treat..

THE HAITIEN LOAN.—It is well known in Paris that M. Lafitte, the banker, is the principal pro prietor of the Journal du Commerce, as it is also but too well known to many that he was the Contractor for the above Loan. The following remarks in Lis own Journal therefore are viewed with additional importance In the Council held yesterday, we understand, the affair of Haiti was discussed with great warmth. It is merely said, thst the negociations with the Haitian Envoy will be con tinued ; but it is not said whether the propositions that are to be made to him, will come within the limits of the ability of the Republic. The question, whether the French Government will or will not expose knit' to a rupture with Haiti, is absolutely equivalentto the question, whether it will he satisfied with what Haiti cm pay, or will require wore." In a late hunt with Mr. Dansey's bounds, the following singular circumstance occurred :—Mr. P. Mortis, of Newbury, in cutting with his whip at a dog, brought a woodcock to the ground, which rime from a ditch at the moment, and the bird was secured. Prince Victor Von Metternich, son of the Chan cellor, is gone to Rome for the winter. M. Amedee Jaubert, Interpreter to the French Court, passed through this city yesterday, coming on his way to Constantinople with despatches from his Govern ment; and a Cabinet Messenger from London has also set out for the Turkish capital. They are said to be the hearers of very acceptable proposals for the renewal of the friendly relations between these two Courts and the Porte. It is affirmed that, in the conferences held at London, the boundaries to Greece have been provisionally fixed, so as to include the Morea and the Cyclades, but under the supremacy of the Porte, as expressed in the Treaty of London. Prince Lieven is said to On Thursday evening, between four and five, as Mr. Heather, a gentleman of fortune, residing in the neighbourhood of the Hackney-road, was passing the end of James-street on his way home, a fellow who was stand ing at the edge of the footpath, snatched his watch from his fob and ran off. Mr. Heather, the moment he reco vered from the surprise occasioned by the sudden 'attack, raised a cry of " Stop thief," and the robber was pursued by several persons in the direction which he had taken across the fields. The watch and its case, which had se parated from it, were picked up in the pursuit, and a young fellow named George King was apprehended on the spot by John Vann and another of the Bow-street patrol. The prisoner was recognised as one of the well-known gang who have for some years past infested the neighbour hood of Bethnal-green, and was said to bee relative of a young man named King, who was executed for a participation in some of the daring outrages committed by the gang. The pri soner was yesterday committed to take hie trial for the . robbery. IMPROVEMENT IN WRITING.—Mr. Dolier's late invention, whereby the learner in writing may acquire a fine a nd regular hand, in the shortest possible time, is the ablest we have yet seen. it consists of a copy-book, ruled with reeved lines, which mark the proper width and inclination of the letters, the distance of which ought to stand between them, the points where the hair-strokes ought to commence, and the fitting length, &c. of the down-strokes. So popular has this new system already become, that it has received, we understand, the approba tion of the Military School at Cheleaa. JOHNSON V. INWOOD. This was an action brought to recover the amount of a bill of exchange for 14/. The defence was, first, that no con•ideration had been given, and secondly, the plaintiff was debarred of his remedy by the Statute of Limitation.--Verdict for the de fendant. CITY OF LONDON LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTION. The Music Class gave a Dress Concert to the members of this Institution in the Theatre last evening. It . was a source of great pleasure to us to find the orchestral department so well filled. The overtures to " Der Freischhtz," "La Dame Blanche," "II Tan credi," and " Caliph of Bagdad," were performed in a manner that would not discredit any of our larger establishments. To particularize, we would mention the fantasia of Pixis,. a composition of a most elaborate kind, which was played by a young lady, who, with her admirable powers of execution, did more than ample justice to the music allotted her. A concerto on the flute by Tulon was played by a young gentleman with great precision and brilliancy of execution. A fantasia on the harp was a l so performed in grand style, and for delicacy of ex pression was perhapS unequalled. The vocal parts were filled up in a highly characteristic manner, and in very superior taste. Selection is, perhaps invi dious, but we would allude more particularly to the Cavatina " Une Voce poco fa," and the songs, " Sweetly o'er my senses stealing," and " Clii dici Mal d'amore," the performance of which left nolhing to wish for. The theatre was crowded with an audience com prising a large proportion of elegant females, who appeared exceedingly delighted with their evening's entertainment. The performance on the whole was hi g hly interesting and far superior, to the generality of amateur performances. We understand it to be the intention of the Music Class to enliven their fellow-members by giving these meetings periodically. It is with sincere plea sure we see members of au institution of this na ture so well disposed to avail themselves of this ele gant and rational mode of gratifying themselves and friends, CITY ELECTIONS-(THIS DAY F CHEAP. nF THE POLL.

FIGHT BETWEEN NED SAVAGE AND SWEENS The match between the game Welshman 6 „ Tom Sweeney for the important stake of 51. was decided yesterday, not amidst the sylvan shsde: but upon the marshy soil and among the leafless trer7 of Epping Forest, at no great distance from t h ! " Old Maypole." This match, it may b e knoll,yl perhaps, to some of our Fancy readers, was m ade a moment of irritation by Savage, after he had tb . , mortification of paying forfeit to Peter, the brot l 7 of his present antagonist, and no doubt was coo'', tiered by him at the time as a sort of gift, as Svie e ' ney, though much heavier and younger, had nevi , . doffed his caster in the P. R., and was a mere nolice.:f.' Savage, in fact, hooked licking "hur"as a eertai nt P , '' and jocosely observed, " that it would be a hal' pleasant pastime previous to his entering upon . festivities of Christmas." " The proof of the p 0:"• ding," however, as the old adage says, " is in tb" eating," and poor Savage discovered to his that he had caught a Tartar; for so far 1 0 . ; he from coming off with " flying colours," that II: colours, and blood red - they were, lay prostrate the mud, and all his hopes of glory were imother!:;: in the slough. Both men reached the May Poler t „ one o'clock, not in " bang-up drags and four," 1 / 1 1 , 4 - in humble g i gs . Th e y were a tt en d e d by a ve,l ' ; thin muster of their friends, and so thin was t" assemblage of amateurs, that a moderate-sized 1, panlin would have covered the lot. The Stakes having been carried to Birmingham for. l P7,' fights which were fixed to take place in that neiis , , bourhood on the same day, the ingenuity of .1 0 , 1 :!' Carter and Alick Reid was called into action 'tf( form a ring, and with the aid of a few poles ropes, they succeeded in constructing a toletiel ) ::, substitute for the ordinary arena. All being in rea p ness, the men entered the ring, Savage attended Jack Carter and Bob Castles, and T. Sweeney his brother Peter and the Chelsea Snob. were soon at work, and for the first few rourl it Savage had the lead, jobbing Sweeney on his l en eye with his right, which he nearly closed, midi• ting his cheek on the same side. As the' march is milling" advanced, however, a change in the el', of things became perceptible—in good tOto''', Sweeney proved himself too young, too frf H o too active, and too heavy for Savage. 5. hit with great severity right and left, jobbingP% Ned dreadfully on every part of his phi; administr, ing divers cuts, and in fact producing a sort of Pi r simile of the frontispiece of a New Zealand Ch after undergoing the proud distinction of the tal_l.li.. To add to his misfortunes, the right hand of -NI, gave way, and his blows from that hand becaMel, little effect. His general strength, from want . training, also dimi n ish e d; and in the 26th roue after fighting 33 minutes, and enduring as tvu t i punishment as would have satisfied the veriest ton in the ring—his seconds saw there was yet i. . chance, and cried, " Hold ! enough !"
