On the Ist of January was published, price 3s. 6d. the First Number for 1831, of THE UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL and NAVAL and MILITARY MAGAZINE. Enlarged, comprising upwards of Forty Original Articles. "Ihe United Service Journal is confessedly one of the best periodicals of its kind that have ever issued from the Public Press. No Monthly Journal has yet appeared so devotedly attached to the interest of the Army and Navy, or whose claims to the patronage of both services are so strikingly conspicuous. It is full of agreeable anecdote and useful information. In its pages we find a faithful and most interesting record of pasee'ilireVernents, whether on sea or land, diversified by trian3 , chaiacteristic traits of British heroism, and national gallantry, from the lowest to the highest rank in the Service. New iinprOveinents in gunnery, navigation, and the Art of War, are exposed to view with the commanding powers of a master hand, while no subject is omitted which could by possibility in volve the honour and welfare of our Army and Navy. In fine, the Journal affords a cor►ect summary of all changes in the station of Regiments and Ships of the line, besides an authentic return of the Promotions in the Red and the Blue. Independently of the attractions it has for' a military man, this periodical may be read with much pleasure by a civilian, and we feel much gratification in stating that it enjoys a very considerable patronage."— Limerick Chronicle.

By GEORGE COMBE.—Third Edition. _ _ Phrenology treats of the elements of moral and intel lectual philosophy, and of the influence of the brain on the mental powers—a point of much importance, but hi therto greatly neglected. Its principles were discovered in 1787, and announced by Dr. Gall in 1796. In the Introduction to the present Work the harmony of its prin_ ciples with acknowledged truths is discussed, with a view to obviate the prejudices of those who, errone ously regarding it as at variance with established science, hesitate to inquire into its merits. The work has been written with constant reference and applica tion to the moral and intellectual interests wad duties of man, to the affairs of life, and to the development and workings of individual and national character. It is il lustrated by numerous figures of the heads of remarkable individuals, and of skulls from different nations. It is in tended to serve, at once, as a system of phrenology, and as a manual of practical philosophy. The first edition was reprinted in America ; the second edition, consisting of a thousand copies, has been sold in face of the general opposition of the periodical press, headed by the Edinburgh Review ; and the present edition is off:red in compliance with public demand. The regular and progressive sale of the former editions affords evidence that the subject possesses attractions; for nothing but its inherent interest could have supported it against the op position which it has encountered. TO TrIE PROPRIETORS OF CHURCH'S COUGH DROPS. GIENTLEMEN, TO withhold from P u bli c Knowledge a maui feet fact of the utility and perfect cure effected by your CHURCH'S• COUGH DROPS upon me, would be the greatest ingratitude, as long as it is an incumbent duty of every man to facilitate the comfort of hie afflicted follow-oreaturee. In the year 1797 I caught a moat violent cold, which affected my breast and lungs so much, that I could scarcely speak to be understood, and remained so for the space of two months ; at the same tinse accompanied with a great discharge from my lungs, which continued with unabated force until the year 1809. When, after having recourse to almost every atvice, and to no purpose, being in con versation with a gentleman of the faculty, I told him I thought there was no perfect cure for an Asthma, to which he assented, by replying that he had one himself, and his only relief was by taking frequently some medicines to keep his lungs open. About this time a neighbour came to see me, who said he had been equally as bad as I way then, and he first told me of Church's &ugh Drops, being the medicine that made him as he was then in health, and persuaded me to make trial of a small bottle. 1 sent for one to Shrew s b ur y, t o Mr. Wood s , the printer, at which tune I had an incessant cough with little or no inter mission. In the morning at breakfast I took two tea spoonfuls of the Drops in the last cup of tea ; and no more won derful than true, I did net cough for the space of ten nu tmeg after, which would have taken place twenty or thirty times before in that time. In short, it and a few bottles more perfectly cured me then, and I have never been without it in my house for several years after, to use it upon any ecca.ion after taking cold. I am now a living witness to the truth of what I have here said, and completed the 6I pt year of my age the 4th day of Jane instant, and blessed be God, I have as good breath as any ether man of my age in the county of Montgomery. I am, Gentlemen, Your most obedient humble Servant, JOSEPH RUTTER. Guildsfield, Montgomeryshire, June 12, 1821. You are at liberty to make what use of this you may think proper. These Drops, and also CHURCH'S PECTORAL PILLS, may be procured at the Booksellers and Drug; gists ; they are peculiarly adapted for promoting free and easy expectoration, by which, the (shortness of breath, as it is called by many persons, or) difficulty of breathing will be speedily removed.

The following are extracts from a petition that has been presented to his Alaiesty from the eh rgyman of a parish in Somersetshire. It sets forth— " That the Church of England, of which your Majesty is the supreme head on earth, has not received those alte rations and improvements from time - to time, which eve►y institution requires, and the progress of the age demands ; in consequence of which, evils of serious magnitude and conspicuous to the eyes of all men, have ari,.en, which are repugnant to the common sense of the nation, as well as painful to the feelings of almost all classes of your Ma jesty's suljects. '• That whilst the average income of the Bishops is ten thousand pounds a-year, in addition to great patronage, there are nearly three thousand Curates whose stipend is less than DU a=year, and more than four hundred of Ivhom receive less than 501. a-year. That whilst certain offices of Deans, Canons, pre bends, &c., not found in Scripture, and unknown to the ancient Christian Church, but which are of Popish origin, and deemed useless by almost all persons, are receiving . an nually many thousands a-year from the funds of the Church for no adequate service, there are many of the working clergy reduced to abject poverty, obliged to sub sist on charity, and even t o rece i ve the east-off clothes of their compassionate aeighbou rs . ,c That th e petitioner represents to hie Majesty, that the abuses in the di s t r ib ut i on of Church property and in ecclesiastical affairs, daily attract the increasing observation and censure of the people of England, and this to such an extent as to endanger the existence of the Church itself." The petition, having alluded to a speech of the present Bishop of London, in which it is alleged that the Bishop asserted in the house of Lords that the property held by the beneficed clergy, including Deans and Chapters, is sufficient to allow every clergyman in England and Wales three hundred and fifty pounds a-year, prays for the convocation of a national synod, for the purpose of investigating the t!eneral state of the Church; and that such con vocation may consist of equal numbers of clergy- BISHOPSGATE REFORM MEETING. Yesterday a meeting of the inhabitants of the, ward of Bishopsgate took' place at the School . - house, upon the subject of. Reform in Parliament, the Assessed Taxes, and . the Duties on Coals. Alderman COPELAND in the Chair: Mr. Deputy WESTON, in proposing resolutions favour of a Reform in Parliament, said that he was not an advocate for that sort of Reform ;which in clUded universal suffrage and annual Parliaments. He wished for a considerable extension of the right of, ,•pt.;nig,. for a limitation of the period of Parlia inentb.- and, above- all, for the vote . by 44-teo4jtoar..) —ll,llen he was in Parisi he,easv: the advantages arising from the ballot, in the propriety, 'quietness, and moral rectitude with which the elec tions took place; and the public had lately witnessed the working of a different system in the disgraceful transactions at Liverpool, where so horrible a sys tem of corruption had beer developed.—(Hear, hear.) He then moved a string of resolutions—the echo of his speech. Sir WILLIAM RAWLINS seconded the resolution. All men deplored the unfortunate occurrences which had taken place.through the country, but the dis tress from which they resulted had arisen from, and was occasioned by, the conduct of the aristocracy in raising the price of the farms—a measure which made it impossible for the farmer to pay his labourers. One fact he should state.—A farm had been in the possession of his family for 130 years, at the rent of 2101. a year, but the landlord, who was no other person than Sir Francis Burdett,could take no less, when applied to by him for the renewal of the lease, than 6001. a year.—(Cries of, " Oh, oh ! what ! the patriot!) That most excellent .and charitable patriot was of opinion that he ought to pocket to the utmost farthing, upon the Hudibrastic principle— " The greatest value of a thing Is just as much as it will bring." _ —(Cheers and laughter.) He (Sir W. Rawlins, hoped, and indeed he knew, that the ward of shopsgate would do all in its power to establish a distribution of the blessings of Providence amongst the community. Mr. STEPHENS said, that as Parliament was cow constituted, the whole controul was in the hands of the very persons who enjoyed the pecuniary fruits. There were, in fact, not three, but two estates of the realm, for the House of Commons was the mere deputy of the House of Lords.—(Laughter and cheers.) He (Mr. Stephens) was not a . radical re former. He considered that universal suffrage -was universal nonsense, and would create universal can- fusion;lbut he wished that all who paid et fair pro• portion bf the taxes should be entitled to vote. , Mr. CHARLES PEARSON f e lt b ound to testify his entire approbation of every sentiment contained in the resolutions. No good could be done, unless a Reformed Parliament and an honest Administration, in good earnest, set about the redress of the people's grievances, by lightening the burden of taxation, and • renovating• the ancient institutions of the country, insteed of maintaining., in time of peace, expensive and strong military establishments, and an army of sinecurists, placemen, and pensioners, to make pro= vision for the boroughmongers, their families, and connections.—(Cheers.) Although he bad great confidence in the present Administration, he deemed the increase of the standing army to 140,000, and the calling out of the militia, but a bud omen. It the work at the.wrong end.—(H ear , hear.) of the army was said t o b e t o whatpliaatsr.2omwandrf6 them turbulent t he he beginning turbulent of but p the working ov e poverty, and t classes; but made them poor but taxation ? and that taxation would be increased .by the very means taken to re- Moveits consequences. The only remedy for this was to return to a cheap, unostentatious, but most efficient domestic force, instead of increasing the great organ of tyranny —a standing army. Mr. Pearson, at considerable length, described the state of the ma nufacturing population in Lancashire and Cheshire, where he had lately been, and declared that the weavers were in the lowest condition of misery. He had been from hovel to hovel in many of the towns and villages, for the purpose of personally ascertaining their real state. He had also in many parts been shown the books by master manufacturers, from which it appea re d t h at i n many departments w eaving, o i - able-bodied men could not, by working twelve hoUrs a day, earn more than six shillings a week, and many of them considerably less. lie had heard it remarked that the resolutions were strong ; that was just what they should be. The Ward of liishopagate was famed for telling the truth in intelligible language.- For what was language given to us but to enable' Us to call things by their •• right names ? They call : a table a table, and a the . same principle, he should aboi ' •ot i rgli n tiloriger boroughmonger, c e h ve ai li ra everalthough 'ha calla and, t l it were that Prince of boroughmon gers, the Duke. of :Newcastle himself.—(Laughter, and cries of bear.):' That sagacious nobleman, that proprietor of Aldborough, of Boroughbridge, and of Newark, was against the ballot, because be liked to l seen 4' fine displ a y o f o ld E ngl i s h spirit in the p e ople, coining up boldly to vote. in the open face of day; ' and, he might have added, to enable him to s how an Lin-English spirit in persecuting and ruining them for what they had done. lie (Mr. P.) had seen so much mistu . y.resulting from party animosi ties, occasioned by voting at elections, that he ear nestly hoped' the ballot would be resorted to to put an end to" the heartburnings to which contests for the repreSentatives perpetually gave rise. How many of the ties of blood and friendship did not voting upon the present system read asunder ? At Newark he knew a young man, who worked for his father as a blacksmith ; the son did not live under the Duke of Newcastle, but the father did ; the son voted for the independent candidate—the father for the Duke's nominee; the son was industrious, sober, • and dutiful ; yet was the father obliged to discharge the son from his employment, or he himself would have been turned out of his house for harbouring one whom God and nature had imposed upon him the duty of protecting.—(Expressions of disgust, 'and cries of hear.) Another voter was discharged • horn his house by that celebrated opponent of the ballot, because the elector showed the " fine old English spirit" of refusing to perjure himself to please his landlord.—(Cheers.)—That man's family had lived in the house for many years, and paid for it an adequate rent. They had ex pended hundreds upon the property. As he was allowed to continue in possession of the house only on condition of voting for the Duke's nominee, he scrupled to take the bribery oath. He requested to b b eing i be allowed to vote without 4wear i ng . This'' not granted, after some strivings of conscience iu the Presence of the religious Mr. Sadler, he laid down the book Lind went away, in consequence of which the Duke had given him notice to quit. His property was confiscated, and the fruits of his own and his ancestors' industry now rewarded the obse quious industry of a more pliant voter. Mr. CLODE shortly addressed the Prlevting, ex pressing a wish that, as the resolution disclaimed any intention to enter into the minor details of Rk form, that 'which related to the ballot .might be omitted, as he was convinced that in a reformed Parliainent it would not be necessary. Mr. Deputy WESTON considered,. that instead of being one of the minor parts of the question, it was one of the most prominent and impor ant. Mr..C. PEARSON begged to. remind Mr. Clode, that.tmder the ballot every voter was at liberty to gratify his love . of the' fine old English spirit, by openly declaring for what party he voted. The resolutions were unanirnously carried, with the exception of the last. There were two hands beld up against the ballot. MR. HUNT AND THE ELECTORS OF PRESTON. Astrieetifig was held laSt night at the London Tavetn,.pishopsgate-street; forthe.purpose - of ex pressing a'clmiratjonof the conduct of the electors of Preston in returning Mr. Hunt as: their Member, and to hcat-a . staternent relative to the election from Mr. Mitchell, t - person frornVieston, nowintto . Wtr."The meeting was fixed for seven o'clock, at which hour, however, there was scarcely a person present : shortly after they began to drop in somewhat more freely, and at the fullest period there were, perhaps, nearly 400 persons present. THOS. WAKLEY, Esq. took the Chair. _ . The CHAIRMAN returned his thanks for being elected to that office, which he would call high and distinguished, because they had, on that occasion, assembled for the purpose of paying a tribute of re spect to Englishmen who had had the moral courage to assert their rights. It had been in contemplation for the last three or four weeks to disfranchise all the boroughs where open voting was allowed. He did not know that this was throwing a tub to the whale ; but, at all events, it was a fat fish to the aristocracy, who ex:.laimed that they would not give up their boroughs, unless the people were made to give up their's. He trusted, however, that the people would not, in this manner, suffer their rights to be taken from them. He trusted that if such an attempt was made they would thun der their opposition in the ears of any Ministry that should be so profligate as to propose so audacious a measure. It was not the open voting that had done the past mischief; it was the shameful rotten bo- rough system—(Cheers) —and it was, therefore, the duty of every honest man to show his re spect for those who had exercised their rights with independence and freedom.—(Applause.)—Know ledge and tyranny could never co-exist ; but knoW ledge was of little use without union. Let them but unite—let them but co-operate—and they were sure to carry their point.--L(Cheers.)—But the ety now was to wait. Unfortunately; how e v er , .they had already exhibited too, vouch patience; and. to call.on the . people to .wait was sophistry and delu sion. It was worse—it was a fraud on their. under standings, and a robbery on their pockets.—..(Cheers.) He for one , would not wait ; he would raise his voice without ceasing for Reform; and, in his opi nion, no Reform would be effectual which did not include short Parliaments, an extension of the suffrage to all who paid taxes, and vote by ballot. Mr. O'BRIEN proposed a resolution of thanks to the people of Preston for having returned Mr. Hunt as their Member. They were told that they had now got a Minister who deserved credit. He did not see that—the Government was a Whig Go vernment, and -let them look at the Statute-book, arid they would find that almost all the severe enact ments it contained had been passed under their Ad ministration. That was the faction that passed the Septennial Act, and the Riot Act ; that was the faction that only three years ago had disfranchised so many : thousand Irishmen, because they feared their hottest and fearless voting. It was the Whigs also.that enacted the Penal Code against the people of Ireland, and every one knew that that code had been written in letters of blood, excluding education, under pain of death, and setting father against son, and son against father. He would confess that he had fora long time been in the habit of looking on the Whigs as the most false, cruel, and insidious faction that this country hOd ever known. This was the faction that opposed the ballot because it led to hypocrisy. Oh, that the Whigs should talk about hypocrisy.—(A laugh.)—lt reminded him of what bad lately taken place in a Court of Justice in Mon. mouthshire. A female prisoner, who had been as mute and silent as possible during her trial, being convicted, immediately let fly two or three ferocious thumps at the officer of the Court, and all the time kept crying, " Murder ! murder ! murder I" when she was the only person in the Count who thou g ht of doing such'a thing: p resent ly s h e caught up a brass candlestick, and flung it at the prouecutot's head, still crying, " Murder ! murder ! murder !" when it -was only she that dreamt of such a thing. Just in this manner it was with the Whigs. They shotited, " Hypocrisy ! hypocrisy ! hypocrisy !" while they themselves were the most irreclaimable crew • of 'hypocrites that the world ever saw. 77- (Cheers anclaughter,)--,,What was the motive that led thiatistocracy to demand exclusive representation so lustily P Merely this, that it was by exclusive re presentation they had first sucked the people dry, ants( it was by eichrsive representation they hoped to keep hold of .their booty ; so that exclusive representa tion was the first and the last maxim of this rapaci-. ous and plundering set. This, then, being the case, every holiest man must wish to have full and cm. plete Reform. As to moderate Reform, it was. all binhug—it wai but another name for fraudulent Reform, - and propoi:ed as a thief gives up a sove reign or two that he may retain the firmer gripe on the list full that was still in his possession. Examples were. now to be found abroad—(Cheers)—formerly England was foremost in the race of liberty z but now she bad to look at what the glorious Belgians, and the still more gloriOna French bad done, and learn from thew wiiat her course in future ought to be.-- , (Applause.)—Let them, therefore, trust io themselves, and take ca. e hots they trusted th e Whigs. He conclud e d by moving, " That the Electors of Preston hove entitledtbemselves to the admiration and gratitud; A ► the people of England by their ma;ily itud patriotic conduct at the recent election in returning to Parliament Henry Hunt, Esq., the uncompromising and fearless advocate of the people's rights and liberties, in opposition to a Whig Minister, who would convert their town into a close borough, by aristocratic intrigue and bribery, and who belongs to a faction, unexatnpled for hypo crisy and rapacity in the annals of political tergiver sa!ion."—(Cheers.) Mr. SAVAGE, in seconding this motion, said that it was not because the people of Prestp bud returned Mr. Hunt, but bec.tuel they had assorted their rights as free electors, that he was desirous of returning them his thanks. Why was it that the fruits of his honest labour were taken from him P lkeause be was not represented; and 4ezause he. was called on to pay the interest of a debt which had Aever bee refitted him. Let thtni have universal 2ufrage, and the first would be eradicated ; 1 - and with respect to the latter, all he had to say was that as the money raised on the debt had been expended to protect the aiistoeracy and the revenues of the church ; the property of the aristocracy and the property of the church ought to be made to ay 4he debt.--_-(Tre mendous cheers.) Mr. Myrruct,t, then rose to address the meetiog, saying, that he had been informed that his mission , o this metropolis would probajity be'atteri,ded with very little success, for there were'Dsit one hundred Radical Reformers in London.—(A Ittugh.)-1-1e e to a history t g h t e at l iti at ee e- io le n ct i i n on b - e f i o o r g P a r b e le sto t n o . . - . then, after a f ew pre f atory observations, proceeded h tl a ia d t. a t l h so e m w u h e o h le expence of the election would not exceed 1,0001., at least, such was his persuasion would tutu out to' be the case when the accounts came to be wound up; — (Cheers.)—He had now further an important communication to make to the tweeting. Mr. Hunt was present at a meeting of the Council of the Political Union in Birmingham, where lie fully expressed his sentiment s on the sub ject of Parliamentary Reform, which, as' they were well known to those whom he had the honour of addressing, it would not be then necessary for him to. repeat. In those sentiments Mr. Attwood ex pressed his full concurrence to the full extent of vote by ballot and annual Parliaments; and - he also de clared, that he should feel proud 'in sitting by the side of such men as Mr. Hunt, and in co-operating with him in advancing the great cause of short Perlis tnents.and the ballot.7--(Cheers.Y—The next topic to which'he directed their attention was the wonderful and commanding character of the Birmingham Po litical Union, having fifty-six branches, at each of which there were periodical debates upon appointed questions, and nothing could be carried on with greater decoruin, or in a manner better calculated to promote the general diffusion of political knowledge. He told the mekirtg that he stood th ere i n some sort the or gan of many plaCes in the North of Eng land, And be cduld'essure them that if there were in any of the London papers continued tnisiepreserra- Lions of Mr. - Hunt,' Mk: 07Connell; or others, the piciprietors of pap e t s in' the - di s t r i ct s . with which he was acquainted ivuld — thetnselves acrid up reporters to remedy the. evile-7.(Applause--a voice in the crowd" Take the'tax . offnewspapers.")—lt had be n said that Mr. Hunt was an irreligious man ; but how did he employ the Sunday after Christmas-day— he spent visiting the poor weavers of Preston. Mr: M. then proceeded to describe, in terms tile most distressing, the laMentable condition of those poor people, who,. though working fourtert boors a day, could not . obtain above 4s. 6tl:'a week, NVIIO were for six months at a time without tAstiog butcher's meat-,-who were destitute of the most necessary .domestic utensils —nay, without decent covering, and, there was scarcely a man amongst them who could not in the most intelligent matinee demonstrate bQw their sufferings were to ha tract ti to the want of proper Parliamentary representation. It was perfectly evident that the country could not long remain in its present condition.—(Hear.) Mr. GRADY proceeded to express his jov at Mr, Attwood's accession to the cause of Radical Reform, and dwelling upon the importance of his testimony in favour of the establishment of a Parliamentary Office. He then concluded by moving the following resolution : " That, Ism the purpose of supplying and disseminating all useful, political, and. morn especially Parliamentary in. tnation to the country at ►arge—fur.cKnsolidating and directing the energies of the whols.people--for the reco very and protection ,of the people's rights —and for aiding and assisting the efforts of Mr, Hunt end such other Mute. hers of Parliament as are really chosen by the people, and truly represent them in the Commons House—an Office he established in London, to be called the Parliamen•,uj Reform Offiee." Mr. LYNE seconded the resolution‘ The resolution was then put by the. CHAIRMAN, who eaintstly wished to promote anyti..:ng calculated to advance Parliamentary Reform ; but scarcely hoped that even by that establishment anything very considerable could be effected. The people of England were almost in arms for their rights, mitt he feared that if the Government did not propose , some most important change, peace would be at an end in England, lie thought that matters wet.: approaching to such u crisis, that an establishment of that nature could not be matured before its services would be unavailing. In the course of these remark, , , he complained of the neglect of the public Press manifested towards Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Time, and other Members o the House of •Commons who spoke the sentiments of the people. . .The question %ills then put and agreed to, Mr. CLEAVE, in moving another resolution, which is given underneath, sated that the Parliamentary Office in Ireland was suppressed, and, therefore, the greater was the necessity for some bond of union in Englund, for the declaration of public opinion, be fore an Algerine Aot should be passed in this country. He then moved that " This meeting is of opinion that the friends of Radical Reform should make every possible exertion to promote sub,crip dons, to cover the expences incurred at the recent election at Preston, in order that the honest electorA of that town may be hereafter free to act with I ke independence and success at future elections." Mr- LYNE seconded the above. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, for which he made suitable acknowledgments, and the meetitv broke up at a quarter past eleven. A most extraordinary story . is in circulation in Kent, to which we refer because it would appear the height of ignorance not to be aware of the circumstance, anti because if it is a fal-ehood and calumny, it is best to bring it to the notice of the individual principally con cerned, in such a shape as to render its contradiction or explanation a work of no difficulty. The story told is this z—A person of the name of Coot took lodgings in Maidstone, during his residence in which the country was kept in a continual state of alarm by the constant receipt of those letters signed " Swing," front which it should seem the system and signature together have since been adopted all over England. This Coot was suspected by ninny people of being the writer of these letters, and the reports and suspicions gaining strength, he left the place-- but it is seriously alleged that before his departure lie paid and received a visit tti, trod from, the Earl of ROMNEY, and at the last of these interviews received from his Lordship the suds of 1251. - The people go on to say, that the matt ~/io,weil the. money to more than one of the tradesmen of Maidstone, stating who the dolma was ; and it is farther added, that the Mayor and town-Clork of Millstone have waited upon the Noble Earl, Who declines any farther ex planation of his conduct, admitting, however, as it is re , ported, that he did . give the man, who was a perfert stranger to him, the sum .stated of lits 6-1 The story, if not repeated with great earnestness I , :rd confidence, and circulated gener44 iu the neighbvirhood, would appear incredible, not Inure frc-ia the "peculiarity of the circum stance itself, but front the tact, that Lard ROMNEY is not so much in the habit of giving anything in charity to per sons whom he sloes know it therefore appears to require some explanatiou,' why his Lordship was so suddenly worked upon .to jive 125!. to an utter stranger. —John Bull. AN IRISH SECRETARY.—We give the fol lowing original sad culious letters verbatim. It is ne omary to explain that the writer of the first communica tion is the identical Mr. PAT CONNALLY, the writer of the second. ' Thiii person, it appears, had been requested by a dying comrade to inform his friends (when he should be no more) of the particulars of his death, but feeling some scruple at aodressing a party of whom he knew but little, Mr. PAT CONNALLY penned the following letter to the mother, and actually signed it with the name of the de ceased, as if it had been written by her departed son : " Sicupdeibad, Sept, 30, 1824. " My dear Mother,—Your last letter that I received when I was in Portsmouth left me in the 'greatest joy imaginable, hearing that you were in good health, but I was very sorry to hear that my brother Michael is not get ti any better at all; but thanks be to the Almighty God that lie does expect for to get better some time or other, but it is not so with me. Dear mother, I was nine months in the hospital with the liver complaint, but glory be to Gad lam no more.
