TRIESEMAR, No. 3, Is the great Continental Remedy for that class of Disorders, whict unfortunately the English physician treats with Mercury, to the in evitable destruction of the patient's constitution, and which all the sarsaparilla in the world cannot remove.

(Front the Morning Herald) The Morning Herald has ever been the staunch ad vocate of the rights of offioers belonging to her M ijesty'A navy. We must, therefore, express our deep regret at a recent order that completely shelves many, very many, deserving and gallant officers. We quote the following from the speech of the FirA L'rd, Sir C. Wood, in the House of Commons : "In the course of the present year a change has been made in the mode of paying captains. Instead of being paid according to the rate of the ship in which they are employed, they are paid according to their standing on the captains' list. It nosy be desirable, on account of the imp')rtaoce of the command, to employ a captain of high standing in a small ship, and I think it would be a great injustice to give the lower rate of pay. " It is therefore now provided that captains shall be paid according to their standing on the list (in whatever size ship they may serve), and at the same time we have raised the pay of the lower class of captains—of all below the first 170, because we thought it not adequate to meet the expenditure which in these days they may be called upon to make." The Admiralty circular states "Feb. 1, 1856. "Fell pay of captains of the Royal navy has been established by her Majesty's order in council of the 30th of January, 1856. " First Class—To the first 70 captains on the list, when employed, irrespective of the class of ship in which they may be serving, 701/. 2s. ld. per annum. " Secind Class—To the next 100, when fully em ployed, 574/. 17s. 6d. per annum. "Third Class—To all other captains below the first 170 on the list, when employed, 450/. 3s. 4d. per annum. "The above rate is to apply only to such captains as may have been appointed subsequently to the date of her Majesty's order in council establishing the same, excepting those captaihs now serving as commodores in command of stations, and those captains of the lowest class now actually serving, whose full pay is less than 400/. per annum, who are to become entitled to the new class of pay from and after the let of April, 1856. "By command of their Lordships. " R. OSBORNE." Now, in reviewing the above, there is evidently such a manif ' st injustice to many valuable and excellent of• floors, that we will venture to hope the Lords of the Ad miralty may bs pleased to take into consideration how much injustice inadvertently appears on the face of this recent order. We have only to enumerate the following list of of ficers—captains in actual service at the present moment —who are entitled to an increase of pay according to their standing on the list, but excluded in consequence of the late Admiralty circular : Capt. M‘Dougall, superintendent of packet service, Southampton. Capt. Kincome, Royal William, Plymouth. The above officers are entitled to 7001. per annum, but only in receipt of 6001. Then follow the Hon. Capt. Elliott, Sybille ; the Hon. Capt. Keith Stewart, Nankin ; Capt. Frederick, Presi dent ; Capt. Watson, Imperieuse ; Capt. Morshead, Dido; Capt. Ramsay, Euryalus ; Capt. Hastings, Cura. coa ; Capt. Lyster, Arrogant ; Capt. Buckle, Valorous ; Capt. Baillie, Meander ; Capt. Sullivan, Merlin, &c. The above officers are entitled to 5741. 174. 6d. per annum, instead of being paid to the rate of the ships they now command. Captains now in command of screw block ships who are not entitled from their stand. ing on the list, yet continue to receive 7001. per an num, whereas if paid acccording to their proper standing many lof them would only receive 450/. per annum, provided the supposed improvement be strictly carried into effect. The wh ole is as inconsistent as it is unjust towards those officers who are excepted. most severely worked. Their pay has not been increased, and they naturally feel aggrieved at witnessing the ad vent of strangers to officea which they had hoped some of their body might have been permitted to fill. The zeal .of the dockyard Clerks, cannot be doubted. We have ourselves frequently witnessed the energy, atten tion, and perseverande which' they have brought to the discharge of their (tittles ; . aniras they are not permitted by the existing absurd regulations to rise to • supreme. command in the 'establishments—the good government' of which so'erhitiently depends upon their excitions—we think it very hard that they should be prevented from a , ciring t 3 any little prefetent which the chapter of accidents brings about. We , ;leAve their case In the hands of Sir Charles Wood, /ith the utmost confidence that justice will not be denied them. DEATH OF GENERAL GEORGE WRIGHT, ROYAL ENGINEERS. We regret to learn Generil George Might, colonel commandant of the Royal Engineers, died on the SJI inst. at Cheltenham, after a service of more than 60 years in that distinguished corps. The gallant general was ie the 79th year of his age, and obtained the rank of second lieutenant in 1796 ,And bad Peen, considerable service. He served in the West Indies dUring the war with France from 1800 to 180 inclusive, including the capture of the islands of St. Lucia and Tobago from the enemy. He also served in North America, Canada, No,a Snot's, and:New Brun4vick, during the whole o f the last war , with the United States u n d er G enera l s Si r George Prevoat and Sir John Sherehrooke, and with the latter general served as deputy quartermaster-general of the forces in the provinces' of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. The gallant decia-ed subsequently volun teered his services to Ciiylors during the rebellion of the Kandian provinces, and on .his return to his native oountry paid an official visit tithe Court of Persia. The deceased was appointed a 'genet commandant of the, Royal Engineers initisrel4l4l4l - . His eorarnissions bore date as follows :—Second lieutenant, Aug. 15, 1796 ; first lieutenant. Aug. 29, 1798 ; captain, Ap r il 3, 1804 ; brevet major, June 4, 1814 ; lieutenant-colonel, Dec. 20, 1814 ; colonel, July 29, 1825 ; inajor-general, Jan. 20, 1837; lieutenant-general, Nov. 9, 1846; and general, June 20, 1854. TEE LATE JOHN SADriEIR, M.P. ( From the Times of this day.) John Sadleir was a national calamity. It is not often that an individual rises to a position of such infamous no toriety, but the truth is, now that the whole story of his frauds is beginning to assume shape and forni, that the prosperity of a whole province has received a severe shriek from his proceedings. He has forged title-deeds of estates, he has forged private acceptanees and securi• ties, and by hie connection with the Tipperary Bank he has Contrived to swindle the population of the south of Ireland to an amount which is already stated at 400,000/., and which will probably reach the full proportion of the half-million. Against this result is to be set a sum of some 35,0001., and, of course, whatever may be recovered by the process of selling up innocent shareholders. This is, after all, but to shift the burden from the shoulders of the many to the shoulders of the few ; and, even if it can be done with a reasonable degree of success, it is scarcely to be expected that the creditors will regain , anything mo-inthan a small percentage of their loss. On Tuesday of last week the case was brought before the' Master of the Rolls in Dublin, on a motion that the co partnership should be dissolved,and the affairs be wound up in conformity with the provisions of the Winding-up Act. On this occasion, in delivering his judgment, the Master of the Rolls stated - the actual position of affairs to be as follows :—" The late John Sadleir, was per-. mitted by his brother, the sole director and manager of the bank, to overdraW his 'accsunt to the extent" of 200,0001., without the knowledge, consent, or privity of a single other contributory,. or creditor, so far as this Court has heard or knows, The liabilities of the Babk are altogether, in round num— bers, 400,0001. ; it was in a state of them ,st hopeless insolvencion the let of February last, and the assets are not pretended to be more, in round numbers, than 35,0001." This being so, in the beginning of February 'a circular was iesueel with the object of persuading the " deluded, defrauded, and unfortunate contributors," not only that the Tipperary Joint-stock Bank was in a thoroughly solvent and satisfactory state, but teat it was actually in a condition to pay a bonus of 3 per cent. on a paid-up capital of 100,0001., and that after the payment of the bonus a surplus would remain ! Tne story appears to be even more pitiable than was at first supposed, now that the social position of the majority of the sufferers has been more clearly ascertained. We hear of small farmers, traders, clerks, assistants, police officers, &c., who have lost their little accumu lations from the thrift of many yews. The provision for families is gone—the fund which had been provided for the support of declining life in many instances is gone too. As we read in a local journal, "the deluded victims are left penniless, hopeleee and in the most afflicting despair." This is all very terrible, and the more so when the peculiar circumstances of Ireland are taken into consideration. In our awn portion of the empire the aggregate mass of wealth is so great, that if one, two, three thousand persons are suddenly reduced from affluence to poverty, the chances are that in the majority of instaecea the victims will find an oppor tunity of gaining the means of subsistence without undergoing the humiliation of public pauperism. In Ireland—in the south of Ireland, it is otherwise. Life is there a hard struggle indeed, and few are the chances of recovery to those who have been foiled in the game. L is a surprising fact that it should be in the power of any man to swindle his fellow-subjects to the amount of a million sterling, and yet this sum will probably fall short of the reality when the full extent of John Sadleir's frauds has been ascer tained. What with the Tipperary Bank—what with the forgeries of private acceptances—what with the frauds arising from the forgery of title-deeds, Ireland alone will stand as sufferer for the larger portion of the sum. The railway and bank accounts in London will complete the tale. There is no instance is history, as far as our re collection extends, which can serve as a parallel to this gigantic fraud, for in the case of Law the Scotch adven turer represented rather the Regent and the Government of France than himself. Much the same thing may be said of the heroes of the South Sea Bubble, and the rail way mania of our own times. All the world was mad ; and certain clear-headed sharpers farmed the madness in the names of various companies which were known to be made of such stuff as dreams are made of. Oar forefathers, and the present generation, too, upon these occasions, all went mad together, and the inevitable consequences followed when the crash-time came. The case, however, of John Sadleir —and, from what we now see, we fear it mu‘t be said of James Sadleir also—rests upon a very different foundation. We are not all rushing down to Brokers'-alley or Capel-court ; we are not looking for 60 per cent. and unquestionable security. We are, on the contr .ry, busy with a troublesome and expensive war. WE are scraping together pence, rather than risking pounds for the sake of inordinate gain. The present period, for the majority of Englishmen, is one of econo my, not of speculation. In the midst of all our caution, hoe ever, of all our thrift, of all our circumspection, a knave slips; unawares into the camp and swindles his fellow-subjects out of the enormous sum of 1,000,0001. atet~tireg Fite-. - John Sat:Usk-14 us rather say of John and James Sadleir r —is curious enough when contrasted with their performances. They are not in the position of gamblers who have thrown a heavy stake upon the table and lost it. Their father is at present living, a small tenant farmer in the south of Ireland. From such an origin, respectable enough, John Sadleir started in life, and con trived to swallow up a million of money before he put an end to his existence on Hampstead-heath. The career of John Sadleir after his departure from the farm is now notorious enough. Provincial attorney, and then at torney in Dublin, political intriguer, Lord of the Trea sury, railway chairman, and bank director—such were the steps of his career, until he concluded it as specula tor, swindler, and suicide. This hideous history may not, we earnestly trust, prove without effect. It is impossible to be mixed up with society in London—and the provincial capitals, it appears, are not behind us in this respect—without be coming painfully aware of the range of illegitimate spe culation. The men who engage in this unfortunate ca reer never seem to consider that they are playing against loaded dice. One succeeds in the desperate game, and a thousand perish—the success of the one is in ignified, and proclaimed with admiration and envy from month to mouth ; the ruin of the thousand pass, s without notice and without comment. The art of con verting airy nothings into solid coin is far too much in vogue for public security or public happiness. This is an error beyond the retch of legislation. Under any se stem of laws which grants to commerce that freedom without which commerce cannot subsist, the unfair spe culator will have his oppprtunities, and will abuse them. On persona who are inclined to enter Upon such a path remonstrance would be thrown away—we can simply point to the grave of John Sadleir, and say, " Take warning I" It may well be that to few persons will be granted the opportunity of perpetrating frauds upon so gigantic a scale. Thus, from want of occasion, rather than of will, they may avoid the full mea sure of hie despair, and the full horror of his fate. Let them, however, be well assured that, without the dismal success of John Sadleir, and without the agony of his closing life, the Demon of Speculation has secondary punishments in store for its victims, sharp enough to 'deter any but madmen from venturing their good name and happiness in such a career. HAMPSTEAD HEATH. ( Pram the Times of this day.) That it would be a pity to destroy Hampstead-heath any one who bas ever been there will at once admit. With the finest parks in the world, Landon is still far too much of a city and breathes too litLle of the country. It is a city, not of palaces, like Paris, nor of temples, like Rome, but of cities like itself alone—a number of townships that on the continent would each make a very respectable capital going to form the great metropolis. But, though it is every - day spreading further and fur ther, we are now and then threatened with the loss of the few scraps of field and garden that are left to us in this wilderness of brick and mortar. St. James's-park has just been saved from an encroachment that would virtually have destroyed it. Hampstead-heath is now, by the spread of buildings all around, equally endan gered, although not in the same manner. The heath consists of about 200 acres of land, and is overlooked by eminences in the adjoining fields which are admirably adapted as sites for houses, which contractors would gladly occupy, and which the possessor would gladly dispose of. Bet by the erection of houses on these emi nences the beauty of the heath would be very much destroyed. It is, indeed, not the fault of the present proprietor that a the single acre remains free from he r has cks and mortar. By will of his father, , no power to grant building leases over this portion of his estates, and the property is available only for agri cultural purposes. It is, therefore, in the mean time of less value than if it were held without that prohibition. Sir Thomas Wilson, it is true, has several times applied to Parliament for a private bill to remove the prohibition, although hitherto without success ; but if the more general measure which has in this session been introduced into the House of Lords in relation to the leases and sales of settled estates should become law, he may effect his purpose by obtain ing an order from the Court of Chancery. A t all events, Sir Thomas Wilson cannot live for ever; on his decease the entail is liable to be cut off; all impediment to the erection of buildings will then be at an end, the property will rise in value, and the Heath will run a great risk of being spoiled. That the inhabitants of the neighbour- I l ood should be solicitous for the safety of their suburUan park can excite no surprise, and that they should se riously propose to tuy up the Heath, together with the se joining grounds, now that it can be obtained at a corn paratively cheap rate, is a step the wisdom of which no out' will impugn. In all about 300 acres, it is supposed i thria' this space of ground can be purchased for about 100,0001. ; and as its natural beauty requires little arti ficial aid, there will be no necessity, as in the case of the Victoria and other parks, for any considerable outlay beyond that of the actual purchase. The inhabitants of Hampstead have made a very wise proposition, but unfortunately they have not addressed it to the proper quarter. The question is, who is to pay for this park, and the vestry of St. John, Hampstead, supported by various other vestries and deputations, re ' quest the Metropolitan Board of Works to undertake [ PRICE 4D. STAMPED fD• the business, and to do it at once, while it can be done ch aply: It seems not yet discovered that the Metro pol tan Board of Works cannot do everything at once, an that there arc some thing s which it cannot do at all.: It is at present beset with schemes of every descrip tion and magnitude—all urgent, and all witbin its,sphere. Two or three dozen streets are to be knocked down and built up, sewers innumerable are to be constructed, and, above all things, the Thames itself is to be purified. With ail tbi=, the Board of Works has enough to do in the metropolis without driving away to Hampstead to purchase a snbUrban park. one people of Hampstead, who are most interested in this matter, era a ,very wealthy community ; and if, instead of requesting the Board of WOrks—whose business it is to make streets and sewers ' and not suburban parks—to rate the whole metropOlisfor the pnrchase-money of the Heath, they would rate themselves, or subscribe among themselves, they might easily do not a little towards effecting a pur chase, and could then, with some show of reason, ask Parliament fOr a grant. And it is not merely their own pleasure that they would consult in so doing. but also their own interest. We are all interested as Londoners in preserving Hampstead-heath, but not en much as those who have houses and property in the immediate neighbourhood, the value of which would be graatly im proved - by the formation of a park. It is bit fair that those who will gain most should pay most ; and, if they really *how some public spirit in endeavouring to obtain this park," we are pretty confident that the House of Commons will meet them in the same liberal spirit. Among those who will vote them a supplementary grant we may, with some confidence, place the name of every member who lately voted against Sir Joshua Waluasley's motion. If the house will not consent to open Museums, it will certainly not - consent to shut the parks. St. James's-park has been saved throagh its instrumentality, and wa are sure it will make any. reasonable effort to pare Hampstead-heath. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—March 8. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN 1U MAIM BOYD, STOCK AND SHABEBROKEB, OF BANK BUILDINGS. The inquiry into this bankrupt's case was resumed this morning. Mr. Roxburgh (instructed by Mr. Henry Harris) ap peared for the assignees; Mr.Lawrance for the bankrupt. At the last meeting it was arrangel that the assignees should address certain .requisitions in writing to the ba, k runt. Mr. Lowrance said the requisitions were only received two days ag and he propose.' to take the opinion of the Court whether the bankrupt should be compelled to answer them. The requi,itions, six in number, were then read over seriatim. The first required a statement of the account between B. and INT. Boyd and B. Boyd, showing the ac count due to B. Boyd in respect to his share of the profits, and charging him with all payments on his ace , . unt. _ . His Honour disallowed this requisition. • The second requisition, which asked the bankrupt for a list of the debts provable against his estate by the cre ditors of the Royal Bark of Australia, was allowed. The third requisition asked for the particulars of items, 18,0001. and 9,0001., charged as shipments from Mark Boyd to Benjamin, between the years 1543 and 1848. His Honour disallowed this requisition. Some discussion took place upon the fourth question. It appeared that in 1549 a Mr. Borthwick, accountant, of Edinburgh, had been sent up by the Scotch cr.ditors and shareholders to inquire into the afiAiri of the Royal Bank of Australia and of the Boyds. Mr. Borthwick alleged that he bad then seen a book in the possession of the bankrupt, in which the account of Benjamin Boyd showed a balance of 26,0001. as owing to the bankrupt. No operations bad taken place on that account slice 849, y't it now appeared that, so tar from B. Boyd being indebted to the bankrupt, the latter was indebted to B. Boyd to the amount of 63,000/. The assignees now required the product'on of the book. The bankrupt said that Mr. Browning, who atttendsd his brother's business in London, had left in 1849, taking rear y bool , s with him. The other books were in the hands of Mr. Wryghte, the assignee. Two of Mr. Wryghte's clerks swore that, as late as January, 1855, they saw in Mr. Boyd'a office a book with a white cover, which is now 'missing and which contained an account headed "Benjamin Boyd, Sydney." The Scotch accountant having described the book as a ledger, his Honour doubted whether be referred ti) the ‘• book" mentioned by the witnesses, which was more in the nature of a jotter's. He di allowed the requisition. Ater some discussion, Mr. Roxburgh asked the bankrupt to explain how he arrived at the balance of 63,0001. due to B. Boycl:t His lionour—l shall not'require him to answer that question. Mr. Lawrance—They only want a peg to bang an appeal upon. Iffi - Soiidur—Holirmarbeatse-wor.tbakl ,Thia g is-tint examination of the Commissioner, and the bankrupt is not bound to answer a question which I think should not be nut. - - , Mr. Roxburgh—Can you explain, then the 71,2891. pro its, and show where they appear in your books! His Honour—You need not answer that question. Mr. Roxburgh—There is 37,0001. odd alleged to be due by the Royal Bank of Australia, can you explain that ? His Honour—You need not answer that question. Mr. Roxburgh—l find there is an item of 17,9451. for office expenses—explain that, and point them out in your books ? His Honour—You need not answer that question. Mr. Roxburgh—Explain the item 46,4761. private expenses ? His Honour—You need not answer that question. Mr. Roxburgh—Explain the item 49,000/,, set down as losses ? His Honour—You need not answer that question. His Honour, after some discussi.m, sanctioned the fifth and sixth requisitions, the former requiring the bankrupt to vouch his expenditure (2,C00/. per annum) during the last three years, and the other to explain whore he charged himself with 13,5001. paid for Benja mi,, This remarkable inquiry was adjourned for the bank rupt to give in the answers. SIR CHARLES WOOD AND THE DOCKYARD CLERKS. We have, from several quarters, received accounts of the dissatisfaction which has been engendered among the clerks at the various dockyards in consequence of the nomination of certain gentlemen from Somerset House to the situations of accountants at the several yards. We know, upon most excellent authority, that there would have been no difficulty whatever in selecting, from among upwards of 150 clerks, four gentlemen in every way qualified for the simple duties of managing the cash tranactions of the respective yards. We have very frequently taken opportunities of bearing testimon3 to the impartial conduct of Sir Charles Wood sinca be has beet at the helm at Whitehall ; and we are not the least afraid but that he will yet pause before he con firms the appointments to which we now allude. The dockyard clerks have for the last three years been THE BRITISH GERMAN LEGION. On Saturday morning a review of the British German Legien by Major-General Wetherell, Adjutant-General, and the presentation by him of a set of Royal and regi mental colours, by command of her Majesty, to one of the regiments of which it is composed, and now abaut to proceed to the East, imparted an unwonted degree of animation and interest to the whole camp at Shorncliffe, where it has been principally trained for active service during the last year. This foreign auxiliary legion, now fast approaching completion, will ultimately coneist of two regiments of Jitgers (rifles), six regiments of light infantry, and two of light dragoons, making an aggregate force of about 10,000 men, and will be divided into two brigades of in infantry and a Lrigade of cavalry. Besides these, two depot regiments will eventually be formed, one for each brigade, and of the same strength as the other regiments. The first brigade, consisting of the Ist Jiiger Corps, and the Ist, 2d, and 3d Light Infantry Regiments, is now stationed at Kululee, under the c iinmand of Brigadier Woolridge, formerly colonel on the staff of General Sir De Lacy Evans in Spain ; and three companies of the Ist Light Infantry are at Sinope, protecting Govern. ment stores. The 2d Jiiger Corps and the 4th Regi ment of Light Infantry are now at Shorncliffe, complete and ready for service, and are destined to proceed to Scutari in 10 days or a fortnight. The Ist and 2d Light Dragoon regiments, also at Shorncliffe, at present want their full complement both of men and horses. Each regiment of cavalry, when complete, will muster 600 hor , es and 775 men, and each regiment f infantry 1,077 men. The sth Regiment of Light Infantry, now in coarse of rapid formation in Heligoland, will be c oap!ete in about 10 days, and 700 of them (the present numerical strength of the regiment) will be removed to Shorncliffe towards the end of this week. The 6th Light Infantry is also being embodied at Shorncliffe, and will probably be complete by the end of the present month. Toe sol diers composing the legion have been collected from nearly every part of Germary, but principally in Hano ver, Brims wick, Schleswig-Holsteio, Oldenburg, Meck lenburg, the Prussian Rhenish provinces, Bavaria, Nas sau, and Ilesse, including some Belgians. They count in their ranks, as non-commissioned officers or privates, many yoang men of superior sensation and good fami lies, and, in some instances, soldiers who have served as subaltern officers in different parts of Germany. The whole force is under the command of Major-General Baron Stetterheim, who formerly served with Gen. Sir De L. Evans in Spain, and lately held a command in the army of Schleswig-Holstein. This officer, by whose indefatigable exertions, in spite of almost insuperable difficulties arid discouragement', the legion has been em bodied and brought to its present satisfactory state of efficiency, has endeared himself to the whole corps, officers as well it's inelf, by'tkoluAltual coarse of kind and considerate conduct, without in the least relaxing the necessary rigours of discipline. He will leave Shorn cliffe in a few days with his staff, and proceed to Con stantinople to take command of the two brigades of in fantry and ,the brigade of c tvalry. t The officers of the cavalry ase chiefly English, and those of the infantry almost wholly German, The ceremony of Saturday possessed considerable in terest. The day was fine, and many of the inhabitants of the adjacent towns of Folkestone, Sandgate, and Hyt he attended to witness it. About half-past ten o'clock Major-General Wetherell, accompanied by Major Gene• ral Stutterheim and the officers of his staff, and Colonel Kinloch, appeared upon the ground. At that time the two regiments of cavalry, the 2 I Jager (Rifle) Corps, and the 4th Regiment of Light Infantry, were drawn up in line, forming two sides of a square, and as the Adjutant-General approached they preseeted arms, and the bands of the several regiments played the national anthem. The cavalry were under the command of Colo nels Percival and Fleming; 4th Light Infantry of Lieutenant-Colonel Hurniet:rey ; and the Rifles, of the Hon. S. Jocelyn. General Wetherell having ridden along the line and closely inspected the men and horses, an open square was formed, consisting of the two regi ments of Light Dragoons on the right, and the Rifles on the left,—the 4th Regiment, to which the colours were presented, occupying the centre. The Rev. Mr. WU . mans, Field Chaplain of the 2 , 1 Brigade, then proceeded to consecrate the colours, which were raised en two pyramids of muskets. Major-General Wetherell then, addressing the regiment, said it was Lis pleasing duty, by command of her Majesty, to present those colours to them, and it would be their duty to defend them, conse crated as they bad been by the ceremony which they had witnessed. Colours, he added, became the soldier's altar, on which he vowed allegiance to his Sovereign, and in defending whose honour he defended his own. He hoped, in the field to which they were about to be called they would seek to emulatP, should occasion offer, those deeds of heroism which would distinguish the re cent campaign above every other,for all time. Baron Stiitterheins rendered the Adjutant-General's address into German, and at his suggestion the soldiers gave three hearty cheers for the Queen. The cavalry then marched past, first at a walk, and then at a brisk trot ; and the infantry, first in open columns of compa nies, and then in double columns of companies to the centre, after the manner of the German column of attack. The Adjutant-General subsequently made a minute in spection of the arms and accoutrements of each com pany, passing up and down both the front and rear ranks. lie was also shown over some of the barrack huts, and expressed his satisfaction at the cleanly and orderly state in which they were, as also with the manner in which the regimental accounts were kept. SERJBANT BRoDIE. The following has been addressed to a contempo rary :- SIR,—In the Parliamentary report which appeared in the papers of Saturday, I observe that Colonel Dunne, , in Friday night's debate relative to army clothing ap peintments, is reported to have said that I was not fit to be trusted as inspector of saddlery, at Weedon Bar racks, to which situation I have been lately appointed by Lord Panmure. On reading Colonel Dunne's remarks I was very much surprised and hurt, as I bad thought that my persecution was over. Being anxious to learn Colonel Dunne's reasons for his extraordinary conduct in this matter, I immediately came up from Weedon and waited upon him, and told him that his statement was cruel and untrue, as it tended to deprive me of the means of subsistence for my family. I also asked him what he knew of me (as I had never served under him) to cause him to put forth such a statement. The only reply he made was—" You had no business to interfere with offi cers in a duel." Now, as this is the only reason Col. Dunne can assign for supposing me incompetent for the post of ihspector-foreman of saddlery, I am quite content to leave the publio to form its own judgment of the merits of the case, merely adding that I have in my pos session testimonials from general officers, colonels, cap tains, lieutenants, cornets, and also from wholesale sad dlers' ironmongers, all giving me the highest chsraoter, and testifying to my thorough knowledge of saddlery. By the insertion of this letter you will much and deeply oblige yours, so., ALEXANDER BRODIE, late Saddler-Serjeant, the Royal Dragoons. Alliance Hotel, Hanover street, Long-acre, March 9.

SINGULAR CASE. —Joseph Byles, who had been out on bail, and his wife and daughter Eliza and Elizabe'h Byles, were charged with stealing two hin-hels of wheat. and a sack, the property of Thomas Homer Saunders, at Ower Moigue, on the 18th ult. No learned gentleman appeared for Ale proscutirm, and .the prisoners were un defended. The facts of the case we reported last week ; but we repeat theta here in order that the whole of this extraordinary case may present itself to the reader at ens view. The committing magistrates were Heibert Wil haute and IL N. Middleton, Esqrs. Prosecutor holds a farm at MoigneDown, in the parish of Ower Moigne. Tue prisoner resided in one of his cottages on that farm, the father and daughter being in his employ. In consequence of Mr. Saunders hearing that there had been a quantity of wheat sent to Warm well Mill from the prisoner's cottage on the 18th ult., prosecutor went to Byles's house, and found about two bushels of wheat in one of his sacks in the pantry. He said to Mrs. Byles. who was then in the house, " Where did you get this l" She replied, " It is some of the lease corn." Witness had a field in which wild oats were prevalent, and the produce of which was being thrashed in the barn where the daughter worked. Perceiving that the sample was the same as the wheat from that field, he said "Yon don't lease oats with corn —there are hoar oats with this." Ho reiterated his opinion that it was his wheat on account of the wild oats amongst it. She at first said she had bought it ; but afterwards ac knowledged that it was his wheat—some she had picked up when the men got the rick in. Prosecutor then went to Byles, who was working near, but he disclaimed all knowledge of there being any wheat is his house. He said the grist prosecutor allowed him was not enough for his family, that they had constantly' bought flour from Mrs. Chilcott's, and that the week before his wife had bought some from the mill, the money for which she had of prosecutor, as he was aware. Thomas Thompson, employed at'Mrs. Chilcott's mill, was then present, and prosecutor asked him how much wheat, over end above his grist, he had ground from Byles's cottage since harvest, to which he replied that he could net exactly tell, but he thought about five sacks altogether. He also said that the daughter mostly brought the wheat in the evening, after dark. Samples of the wheat from the barn, as well as that found in the prisoner's house, were produced, and several witnesses were examined in support of the case ; but there ap peared to be little to implicate Joseph Byles, who still I disclaimed all knowledge of the wheat being in his house. Mrs. Byles said it was what she had picked up after the " mows," or ricks, had been put into the barn , and the daughter said she knew nothing about the mat ter, except that she had taken wheat to the mill when her mother told her. The above facts were deposed to on the trial befor the Chairman of Quarter Sessions, and Joseph and Elizabeth Byles were found guilty of receiving, but the daughter, Elizabeth Byles, was acquitted. The male prisoner was then sentenced to nine months' hard la bour, and his wife to six months.—This case was dis posed of on the first day of the Sessions, but it was regain brought before the notice of the court, when the Chairman, addressing the jury, said the magistrates were always gratified when they bad an opportunity of consulting the jury, who were by law empowered to judge every case that came before them, and he now desired them to direct their attention to one of the most remarkable circumstances that during his ex perience —an experience extending over twenty years—one of the most singular circumstances be had yet met with. They had paid the most marked attention to the curious and intricate case of Jo seph Byles, Eliza Byles, and Elizabeth Byles. The evidence showed that the daughter was working in the barn—whether they were guided altogether by a merci ful view of her case he did not say ; but that wheat was , brought to the house of , the prisoner was certain ; and that wheat corresponded with the "tvheat in the - bltrnt:' They heard the evidence and saw the pertinacity with wh ch the prosecutor proceeded in the case. The n e prisoner, as owner of the house, ought t know what was in his hou=e. There were there found too b; el 4 of wheat, and t vo had been sent to the mill. m kiag in the whole a sack. After these cit.( umstancti were proved the jury found him guilty, and also Eliza Bytes. The Court sentenced Joseph Byles to nine months' imprisonment, and the wife to six months, considering that there was that difference as to the guilt of the two parties. No sooner was this done than to their great surprise, Mr. J. H. &under. came to the presiding magistrates and said he believ d the man was perfectly innocent, and that he did nut. know the wheat was in his house or how it came there. That was a most startling assertion. However, if the Session lasted a mouth it was supposed to be one sitting, and during the whole of that sitting they could alter or modify any particular sentence they pleased. Under this startling discovery, the court was desirous of re-consider. ing the sentence passed upon Jos. Ryles ; but _they were unwilling to do so without asking the opinion of the jury touching the mere cr less guilt or innocence of the prisoner. They did not wish to put them into the unpleasant position of re-considering their verdict. There was no doubt that in point of law he was respon sible for what was found in his house ; but what the C•)urt desired was whether the jury upon re-considera tion thought that the guilt of Joseph Byles was not so great as they originally thought it to be—whether they • thought it right that he should have a less degree of punishment. They would consider whether they could _ recommend him to the merciful consideration of the Court. The jury, after consulting, recommended him to the merciful consideration •of the Court, in conse quence of Mr. Saunders's own recommendation. The prisoner Joseph Bytes was then sent for from the gaol, and on appearing at the bar his sentence was commuted to three months' hard labour. EMARKABLS CASE OF TRESPASS AND POACHJAG. Much excitement has been produced in the town of Holt by p rc3eedings • which have been taken - by .;.,anier, with the authority of the .rector and churchwardens, against an industrious labouring man of the name of. Doughty, who has a large family,.for tres. . passing on a common in pursuit of rabbits. In 1810 • various lands in Holt were enclosed by authority of an act of Parliament, and the commissioners, by their sivikrd, alloted about 126 acres, called the. !‘---I.sewar" , .. to the - reetor,. Charch*ardene, and overseers, 'ma true. -tees, for the benefit of the occupiers of certain houses under 101. a year rest. It has been the. custom for many years for the poor to cut firing, gather manure, turn their donkeys, and -kill rabbits on the common. Many, in this way, have been able to add to their regular earnings, and maintain themselves and families when, but for these advantages, they must have sought parish relief. The Holt-lodge estate, has recently come into the. possession of Mr. Barker. Part of his estate abuts on the Lows, and he is deter- mined, if possible, to exercise the same right of shooting over this land (which was originally dedicated ezniu sively for the use of the poor) that he does on his own.. Mr. Barker requested permission from the rector and churchwardens le shoot over the "Lows." No applica tion was made to the overseers for their permission. Having obtained authority from the rev. gentleman and the two churchwardens, Mr. Barker instructed his gamekeeper to prevent the poor from killing any more rabbits - oil this land. About the middle of January parisoioner named Doughty was seen on the "Lows" by Mr. Barker's keeper, who, after watching a consider able length of time, saw, or thought he saw, him kill something, although he could not say whether it was tt hare, a rabbit, or a rat he killed. After Doughty bad lett the land the keeper, pouncing upon him, demanded . . what he got. Doughty, believing that he had as much right on the common as the keeper or his master bad, refused to tell him, when the keeper told him he intended to see, and being the more powerful man of the two " turned him up," and by force took two rabbits front him. On January the 19th Doughty was summoned before the sitting magistrates at 11:71t, and charged under the Game Act with committing a trespass in the search of rabbits on the .3omnion. Toe Rev. J. H. Sparke, W. H. Cozens Hardy, and W. Pemberton, Esqs., were the magistrates on the bench. Mr. Cozens Hardy was not satisfied that Doughty was a trespasser, as, for anything that appeared to the contrary, Doughty had as much right to the common as the parties who laid the inforala tlon against him. The case was adjourned for a month, that the prosecutor might obtain the opinion of counsel on the question in dispute. On February 16th the accused asain appeared before Messrs. Cozens Hardy and Pemberton. The prosecutor also appeared, with Mr. Evans' " opinion" in his favour. This " opinion" diti not appear satisfactory to Mr. Cozens Hardy, who could not concur with Mr. Pemberton that a trespa s within the meaning of the act had been committed; and as these gentlemen could not agree the case was again adjourned. On Saturday last D , ughty appeared -a ttird time at the Shiieball. On tins occa-iou Mr. J. Gay, of Thurning-hall (not an aeting magistrate for this division) sat on the bench. Doughty obtained the professional aid of Mr. Loynes. The com plainant was also represented by his professional adviser, who contended that, although the poor bad a right to cut firing, &c., they had no right to the rabbits—that UM rabbits belonged to the trustees, who might do anything they liked with them. It was contended by Mr Loynes that the trustees had only beneficial interest in the land tliat they had only the legal estate, and no power what ever to take the rabbits from the poor and give them,to Mr. Barker. On returning to the room, after the magis trates had consulted on the case, we learned that Mr. • Gay andsfiftS PAArbertOU were of OPillidif#lo-44115 ease - - bad been proved against the accused. Mr. Gay then told hini tbat the majority of the bench had determined to inflict only ls. as a fine and the costs of the proceed ings, which, as we understood, amounted together to 12s. Gd. Mr. Loynes inquires low long the accused would be imprisoned in default of payment ? The con victing magistrates, as it appeared.te us, had not consi dered that question, and were evidently annoyed at the thought of sending a poor industrious labourer to gaol for killing a rabbit on his own common, and thus leaving his family to starve or go to the workhouse. After some consultation, it was agreed that Doughty should have 9. fortnight to fled the money, and it was stated, that if ho had not paid it at the expiration of that time, he should go to Walsinghain prison for seven days. That, we fear, must be his fate, as fine and costs amount to a sum equal to a week's earnings of the poor fellow.--Norfolk Yews. _NATIONAL EDUCATION. LORD JOIIN RUSSELL'S RESOLUTIONS.
