TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Our attention has been just called to your .report of this case, which we must say is not only far from correct, but will operate greatly and unjustly to the prejudice of our client, the defendant. There was no evidence give n , nor was it the fact, that Messrs. Robinson sent the defendant to pay the duty of 851. payable upon silk, as stated in your report; this was merely the statement of counsel, too frequently made without foundation ; were this all the defendant had to complain of, we should have advised him to disre gard it, but you represent that having entered into recognizances for hia appearance at the Old Bailey he did rot appear when the sessions came on, and there fore the present prosecution was instituted. No such statement either was or could be made ; the fact is, the defendant did appear, and was prepared to defend himself, but in consequence of Messrs. Robinson having fled the country, no further proceedings took place; this was distinctly stated by the def-ndantq counsel, and unco,,tra'licted by the Crown. We are p•,rsuaded you will feel the justice of correcting so serious an error, and remain, Sir, your very obedient servants, J. and C. ROBINSON. May 13, 1845.

It is full of romance from beginning to end. There is scarcely a chapter in the work that would not have made the fortune of a modern novel, for whether the author be exploring the haunts of the Buccaneers of the Ilavannah— wandering among the trackless prairies of Texas—dwelling with the hospitable planters in Mexico—or making the acquaintance of Mor mons, Indians, or Yankee bravoes of the true bowie-knife school, lie renders his narrative so singularly interesting, that the reader finds It impossible to lay it down till he has gone through to the last page." —New Monthly Magazine.

Here we are, in the middle of 111ay, and the busi ness before Parliament which presses most for dis patoh, is about to undergo the usual destiny of being crushed out of existence by the overwhelming multitude of that which presses least. It is two months ago since we ventured to express our ap prehensions on this score, and to urge upon the Legislature the paramount importance of its adopting the requisite means to prevent such accumulations and arrears as we now see fast gathering around and upon the table of the House. The Home Secretary himself, we find, has already given notice, for a day towards the end of June, of a motion and other business to be brought forward by him, in addition to the numerous important questions and Bills that are already in progress, and taking a discussion in every successive stage that they attain. Thus there is the interminable array of Railroad Bills and pro jects, the entertainment of which is sufEcient to ab sorb the whole remainder of the time of Parliament, even should the session prove an unusually protracted one. Of these Railroad Bills it may be permitted us to remark, in passing, that the experience of every day only the more confirms us in the conviction we had formed, from a very early period of its labours, of the New Railway Commission. In spite of the interested pleading of Lord DALucrusrE in the Upper House, and the off-hand vindications of Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET in the Lower, the practical action of the anomalous Board has been as ob jectionable as the anomalous principles of its constitution. It has failed to accomplish the main object of its creation. The system pursued in its investigations has proved far less satis factory than that which it has superseded, and its decisions have been almost as much challenged as the mode of its investigations. The commission was de - vised with a view to remove obstructions in the con duct of this branch of the "private business," as it is called; and the "private business" has been mar vellously obstructed ever since it was organized. The pity is, that with such a parade of preparation and di gestion, and a nice balancing of conflicting recommenda tions attaching to the competing projects reported upon by the Commissioners, there should be such a defi ciency of power and perspicuity in stating the grounds of their decisions, accompanied by such an extraordi nary affectation of arrangement. For the first time, we will venture to say, in the annals of official classi fication, we are introduced to " Groups" A. B. C. D. E.—groups of railroad schemes, sections, gradients, and proprietary lists, maps, plans, and working drawings. How picturesque ! How appropriate ! Let us have a little patience, and in the next Factory Regulation Bill we shall have the clauses, provided for the education of factory children, referred to in schedule annexed as the "Infantry" clauses. And if the Marquis of LONDONDERRY should ever feel prompted to move a clause of amendment in any Bill introduced into the House of the Lords by Field- Marshal his Grace the Duke, " by way of rider," we suppose they will be known as the " Cavalry" clauses. But this obstruction is but an inconveni ence, though a grave one. This affectation is not less productive of inconvenience, though of a lighter character. The evils of the accumulation of busi ness at the beginning and the middle, and its whole sale burking at the end of a session, are of a far more serious and alarming kind. What, amidst this mass of private Bills, and cri minatory and recriminatory interlocutives exchanged between the advocates and the opponents of the Board of Trades' Committee of Railroads—and the stick lers for the letter of the " Standing Orders," and the latitudinarian pleaders for further extension of the time allotted for compliance with them—what, we ask, has become of the very important national business devised by Ministers on the discussions of the estimates, at the termination of the last, and at the beginning of the present se-sion Are that jealous impartiality, that uncompromising super vision, that repudiation of favouritism in all matters connected with the building, arming, and manning of our sailing men of war, and the models and ma chinery securing improvements of our steam navy— really and fully installed in the Councils of that Board of Admiralty, which has pledged itself to be entirely guided by these principles in the admi nistration of its important trusts ? Have the warnings, so frequently addressed to the Government on these points, by some among the ranks of their own supporters, as well as by the highest authorities among their adversaries, been attended to ? Have the defects in the build of our war-steamers more especially been remedied as to those already built? Will they be obviated in those now about to be brought for ward, or hereafter to be laid down ? Are the mis chievous prejudices which have hitherto, in defiance of the most triumphant results of experiment, op posed the more general introduction of the Archime dean screw as the motive agent in our steam-ship working, and FOHLASTER'S ship-propeller into all our ships of war, appeased and silenced by a distinct expressions of the Government's sanction under the advice of its ablest officers ? Is the Government patronage of superic.r proficiency in naval architecture to be thrown open, so that the country may always have the advantage of the best talent in one of the most important of all the branches of its service—naval architecture ; and are the best and ablest architects to realise their legitimate reward in the patronage and employment of the Government ; or is the in fluence of the Surveyor of the Navy still paramount at Whitehall, despite all failures and miscalculations ? The aspect of our present relations with the United States has surely not diminished the importance to be attributed to the exposition made in the House of Commons of the capital and organic defects in the construction and sailing qualities and armament of such great ships of the first and second rates as the Queen and the Albion. Is the one, after all her extensive and expensive transformations, become what she ought to have been before she was launched from the building-yard ; or can the other, a two-decker of vast dimensions, venture yet to keep the sea in heavy weather, with her lower-deck ports open ? Have the few large ships now in commission, and on actual service, their full complement of men on board ? On our coasts, have any steps yet been taken for the construction of harbours of refuge, in conformity with the recommendations of Parliamen tary and other Commissions of Inquiry, and the reports of civil and military engineers ? At the mouth of the Thames, and other of our great rivers, are the fortifications at the proper points put in that effective condition of offence and defence, the necessity of which has been so strongly urged upon the attention of the Legislature from similar quarters ? Has the Colonial Department been instructed, by the highest authorities of the Governinent, to repair the enor mous malfeasances of their widely diffused adminis tration, by redressing the wrongs inflicted by the incapacity or obstinacy of the Colonial Governors placed under its control ? Is it intended to do any thing, in the present session, towards such a " settle ment" of the law of pauper settlement, as that which has been opened by Sir JAMES GRAHAM ? Is the 'medical profession to be dealt with by . Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S Bill before next year? Does Lord LINCOLN mean to carry through his Bill to facilitate the inclosure of waste lands ; or is that, with Lord WORSLEY'S, to bide over to next year? We pass by, for the present, all the important Irish and Scotch business before Parlia ment ; and on this rapid recapitulation alone of busi ness to be done, or in course of transaction, we are anxious to know how, together with a battalion of more than 80 Railway Bills, it is to be disposed of in any other than the pitch-forking fashion which, year after year, is productive of so much miscarriage and confusion in House of Commons' law-making, and, year after year, has to be repaired and compensated for by renewed processes of legislation at an incon ceivable expenditure of the public time. When will this bad habit of " packing" business at one time, and cushioning it at another, be abandoned? It is fraught with the most dangerous tendencies to the public welfare. We have intelligence from Madrid to the sth inst In the discussion on the budget of receipts, which commenced that day in the Chamber of Deputies, a proposition was brought forward by Senor AGUAYO, for raising an annual revenue of 150,000,000 reals (1,500,0001.), by an income-tax and tolls at the gates of the principal towns in Spain. The motion, which led to some discussion, was adjourned. According to accounts from Barcelona great preparations were in progress for the reception of the Court. The Three per Cents. closed at 341 for cash, and 341 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 25 11-16 at 60 days; the Provisional Debt at 81 ; and the Debt without interest at 8i at 60 days. There is no intelligence in the Paris papers of much interest. The last accounts from Africa are considered unsatisfactory. ABD.EL-KADER, as we stated yesterday, is making preparations for another outbreak, and as the French Government seemed in clined to believe that the Emperor of Moaocco had failed in using proper exertions to expel him from the country, General DELARUE is to be sent as Commis sioner Plenipotentiary to the Court of ABDERRAUMAN to :remind him of his engagements. According to a letter from Oran, ABD-EL-KADER is in the south at the head of ten thousand men, and the late attack upon a party of French at Tenez is considered only a part of the plan for a new rising against the invaders. Several columns of French troops are in conse quence moving towards the south of Algeria. The grants just voted by the Chamber for improving the har bours of Toulon and Port Vendres, meet with the general approbation of the French press, as the object of the Government in proposing these estimates is to facilitate the communication between France and the coast of Africa. Port Vendres especially is Kell adapted for that purpose. The Presse thus points out the advantages of this harbour :—At Port Ven - dres it is intended to construct for the present a pier at the entrance of the harbour and to deepen the outer port. The expense is estimated at 2,500,0001., which will complete the amount demanded by the Minister of Marine. Port Vendres is so well situated that the genius of VAUBAN, nearly two centuries since, foresaw the advantage to be derived from it. It is close to the frontier of Spain, at the extremity of the Gulf of Lyons, and at a period of maritime war would afford our steam-boats a secure refuge. Moreover, it is even more than Toulon the centre of our communications with Algeria. The high lands surrounding Port Vendres protect the ships in the harbour against the effects of the north-west wind which sometimes blows so violently in the Gulf of Lyons. The distance from the port to Algiers is twenty leagues shorter than from Toulon to that point. Every consideration, therefore, combines to recommend this part of the coast to the attention of the Government, as it is possible to establish there at a trifling expense another harbour of refuge." It appears from a report made by the Committee on the Paris fortifications that the total sum ex.• pended since their commencement in 1841 is 108,000,000 f., about 4,000,0001., and that thirty-two millions voted in addition to that sum by the Chamber remain in the hands of the Government. The following is a brief outline of the report. It may be necessary to state that the metre is equal to rather more than thirty-nine inches, and that the continuous wall extends to fully twenty-three miles : "The whole of the continuous wall is laid down, and amounts in length to 38,625 metres. The r.carp has been commenced to the extent of 38,141 metres, and of this number 35,358 are completely finished. It will, therefore, be seen that the masonry of the circle is nearly complete. The fifteen advanced forts are all in course of construction. All of them have their escarpei finished and covered with their coping, with the single exception of the fort of Aubervilliers, which was not commenced ti 111843, but which is also in a state of great forwardness. The counterscarps in masonry have been commenced in the forts of Romanville, Noisy, Rosery, Nogent, Charenton, Ivry, Issy, and Mount Valerien, to the extent, in all, of 6,334 metres, of which 5,716 metres are completed. Ail the casemates of the forts are made, with the sole exception of that of Aubervilliers, which will be executed at the commencement of the approach ing season. As regards the buildings with which the forts will be provided, twenty-two powder magazines have already been built and covered in, and two mere are ready to be roofed. The interior of these magazines will not be completed till the last mo - ment, in order that every precaution possible may be taken against damp. Four ball-proof barracks at Charenton and Mount Valerien are covered in. The one is already occupied, and the other can be so at any time.

Accounts from Lucerne of the 7th inst. state that the Catholic cantons which aided in defeating the volunteer corps, lay claim to a share of the ransom money, but Lucerne is not at all inclined to accede to the proposition. Much interest is excited in Paris respecting the fate of Dr. STEIGER. Strong repre sentations have been made in his favour. Delegates have been sent for that purpose to the Lucerne Government by several of the other cantons, and the representatives of the Foreign Powers have thrown their influence into the balance on the side of mercy. These means, it is thought, will be ultimately suc cessful, so far as that the life of Dr. STEIGER will he saved. The Paris Globe says it' is enabled to state that his life will be spared, and we cordially hope that the Government of Lucerne will not render itself infamous by carrying the sentence into execution.

The illumi nation of Auld Reekie and the pyrotechnic display were superb. Wo have often heard of variations on a theme in music, but never, until the present month of May, 1845, have we seen pyrotechnic variations on the National Anthem. Such, however, are nightly exhibited at the Surrey Zoological Gardens. There is, first, the transparency of her Most Gracious Majesty and Prince Albert ; then this transparency is surmounted by a brilliant crown imperial, in fireworks, and surrounded by the national emblems, in various coloured fires. The crown changes to the royal arms, the emblems change into various loyal devices; and, in short, in this single piece of pyrotechny there are as many varia tions of the original idea, in all of which, however, the idea is preserved, as Jullien himself would pro duce, were he composing musical variations upon any popular air. We are glad to see that the public pa tronise the efforts which Mr. Tyler has made for their amusement. Enterprise and spirit are, in the long run, sure of being appreciated. 314 4% 3974 WHITE CONDUIT HOUSE. This popular place of enjoyment was opened the first time for the season on Monday, and a large company was present to enjoy the varied and numerous amusements which had been provided ; and if we may judge by the many happy faces of those who were exhilerated by pleasure, the exertions of the proprietor and the members of the establishment were fully successful. The singing was good, and the orchestra well provided : and the Calisthenic ex ertions of the Lauri family excited loud and repeated applause; the performance of these youths was certainly of a most extraordinary character : and that singular juggler, Ramo Samee, who is a very good specimen of the singular deceptions of sleight-of hand—if what engaged the mouth as well as the whole person may be included under that term— which is carried nowhere so far as in India, were sources of great amusement. The entertainments in the booth were concluded by several very excellent dissolving views, which at a lower price than those of the Polytechnic Institution, afforded great pleasure to the sight-seers. The whole of this was followed by a turn on the light fantastic too, in the elegant and well appointed ball-room, where the dancers were accompanied by an efficient quadrille band. Few places in the metropolis afford greater opportunities of enjoyment at this festive season, than this old established and favourite place of sojourn at Pentonville. , SACRED HARMONIC SOClETY.—Hayan's Creation, which attracted a numerous and fashionable audience on its first performance, will be repeated on Friday next. THE NATIONAL GALLERY.—The visitors to the National Gallery on Monday were more numerous than on previous holiday occasions. Last Whit-Monday they amounted to between 12,000 and 13,000, but on Monday they exceeded 15,000. Although the rooms Were very much crowded, there being at certain periods of the day between 2,000 and 3,000 at one time present, the greatest regularity and decorum prevailed. The visitors were all of a respectable appearance, and apparently viewed the various magnificent gems of art the gallery contains with great interest. Surely the persons appointed to take care of the sticks and um brellas of the visitors ought to treat the public with some little degree of civility, the language and manner of one of them in particular to a well-dressed person, as heard and witnessed by the reporter, was most disgraceful. They ought to recollect, as servants of the public, they are bound to be • have with respect and decency_ THE NEW LORD OF THE TREASHRY.—We under stand that it is the intention of Mr. W. F. Mackenzie to oppose Sir James Graham's plan for the endowment of three Colleges in Ireland, his reason for so doing being his firm conviction that six Colleges are absolutely necessary in the present state of Ireland. He has not intimated his views on this subject to the Right Hon. Baronet, but he has communi cated them in strict confidence to a friend, who, he has every reason to believe, is in correspondence with Ministers, from the circumstance that he sailed last Saturday on a voyage to Norfolk Island, the expenses of the trip being furnished by the Government.— Times. The Attwood steamer, belonging to the General Steam Navigation Company, left the river a day or two ago for the put of Aviles, having on board a proportion of the Engineering Staff sent out by the Board of Directors of the Royal North of Spain Railway Company. The Attwood was to touch at Plymouth to take on board Mr. Rendel's partner, Mr. Beardmore, Mr. Alanby, and other of the officers connected with the surveys. We learn that Mr. R. W. Collett, M.P., Chairman of the Board, would also join the party at Plymouth, that gentleman having decided on ac companying the expedition with the view of personally in specting the country from Aviles to Leon. `WHOLESALE DESERTION OF WIVES AND FANS LIES.—The parish of Clerkenwell has lately suffered severely from the wholesale desertion, by men belonging to that pa rish, of their wives and families, some of them leaving as many as six children, thus casting a heavy and permanent burden upon the rate-payers. Within the last few days twelve men have thus absconded, and to such an extent has the system been carried, that the parish has determined to adopt vigorous measures to check the practice if possible, and intend to offer handsome rewards for their apprehension. AN AMERICAN PLEA FOR ACQUITTING A MUR. DERER.—At New Orleans, a young man, named Hatch, stabbed a companion, so that he died. He was arraigned for murder, but the jury acquitted him, on the plea that " the deceased had threatened to slap his (the prisoner's) face." BEACKHEATH STOCK FAIR.—The Spring fair took place on Monday, with a good show of heavy cart and other draught horses, with a sprinkling of saddle horses of a middling character; a fair supply of milch cows with calves at their sides, and a large supply of store pigs. In the morning there were but few buyers, owing to the great fall of rain ; but towards the evening, the weather being fan., a considerable demand was created. Cows and pigs fetched better prices than at the last fair, as did all horses of a sound and useful sort; many of an inferior character left the ground unsold. - SCARCITY or Srum—During the past few days the provision market in this town has been very scantily supplied with mutton. Two causes are assigned for this; first, the farmers at this season always hold back their stock from the market in consequence of the great improvement they make; and, secondly, the wholesale butchers here find the demand so great in London as to send all they can to the metropolis. The scarcity thus produced is almost beyond all precedent. At the Barton market on Monday there were really as many buyers as sheep, and at the Beverley fair on Wednesday the demand waswholly inadequate to the supply. As a natural consequence, the prices have much increased. This scarcity has been felt in many other places; but in Liverpool the supply, considering the time of the year, has, we learn, been extraordinarily and unaccountably heavy there being on Tuesday no less than 4,349 sheep for sale.— Hull Packet.

At the New Court, Old Bailey, Mary Ann Sexton, alias Hat Held, a well-dressed married woman, aged 27, was in dicted for stealing a necklace, two printed books, and divers articles of valuable linen, the property of Barber Tuck, her master. There were two other indictments against her. She was foursd guilty on two indictments, and sentenced to be transported for seven years. Lee 'Finer, who stands charged with a misdemeanour, was bailed to appear at the opening of the session to take his trial. He was called, on his recognisance, but did not an swer. No order was made by Commissioner Bullock for estreating the recognisances. George Bracey, James Fisher, and William Tomlin, were placed at the bar before Mr. Rawlinson, at Marylebone, for final examination. The first two charged with having plun dered the house of Captain Carnac, R.N., 46, Devonshire street, Portland-place, of a large quantity of plate, and the third with receiving a portion of the property, knowing the same to have been stolen. They were fully committed for trial. At Queen-square Thomas Wayland, a man between twenty and thirty years of age, was charged with having fraudulently enlisted into several regiments. lie did not deny the charge, and was committed for three months to hard labour, and in formed by the superintending - officer that if he again en listed, he would be prosecuted for the offence, and would be liable to transportation for seven years.

FATAL ACCIDENT TO COLONEL SHELTON, COMMANDING THE 44TH REGIMENT. DUBLIN, SUNDAY.— We are deeply concerned to have to communicate the particulars of an awful, and it is to be feared fatal, accident to the Gallant Colonel of the 44th Regiment, which occurred yesterday evening in the square of Richmond Barracks. The regiment bad been ordered for an evening parade at four o'clock, at which Colonel Shelton expressed his intention of being present, and at two o'clock went out to ride on Adjutant Philips' horse, his own not being in good health. On going round one of the squares of the barracks, which are very extensive, the horse shied, and ran away, and on pass ing through an arch-way, struck the cook-house of the 6th !Foot, which is also quartered there, when the Colonel was thrown, and the horse fell heavily upon him. On being raised up the Colonel was found to be badly wounded in the back of the head and over the temples. He was quite insensible, and, notwithstanding the im mediate medical assistance cf the surgeons of 4411), and also the 6th, the sufferer has never recovered con sciousness since. At three o'clock this day he was in a very debilitated state, and his dissolution was hourly ap prehended—all hope of recovery being entirely aban doned. Colonel Shelton was with the 44th all through the disastrous campaign in Affghanistan, and was one of the Caubul captives. lie was at the battles of Roleia, Vimiera, and Comma, and several of the most remark able engagements in the Peninsula ; he served in the campaign in Canada in 1814, and was afterwards up wards of twenty years in India, where he was distin guished for valour and high military attainments. Colonel Shelton lost his right arm at the capture of St. Sebastian. Five o'clock—Colonel Shelton is dead. MURDER IN THE COUNTY MEATH. The Dioyhedu 21 --- g - us of yesterday contains the follow. ing account of a murder committed within a few miles of that town murder was perpetrated last Sa turday in the neighbourhood of Druroconra—the victim was a man named Clarke—the cause was that fruitful source of crime in this country, the taking of land. The deceased man and his brother had a dispute about a field, when a labourer in the employment of his brother killed him with a spade in the presence of his brother. The homicide has escaped from justice. The remains of the deceased were interred last Tuesday. AN rfrTHER MAUTAL ATTEMPT AT MURDER. MANCHESTER, SATURDAY.—Yesterday the neighbourhood of Henry-street, Great Ancoats, in this town, was thrown into the greatest possible state of alarm by the discovery of a most brutal and premeditated attempt at murder. The perpetrator of the deed—for in every sense of the word, as far as the intention of the murder was concerned, It was a murder of the deepest dye—is a man about 26 years of age, named William Brooks. This morning he was brought up before the magistrate by Mr. Superintendent Sawley, of the A division, charged with cutting the throat of Mary Ann Leeming. It appeared from the evidence produced that the prisoner and his victim had lived together as man and wife for some time, but had recently been separated. i The female lived at a house of fame in Henri -street, and on Friday morning Brooks came to the house to see her. Having learned that she was there in bed, he forced his way up stairs to her room, where he found her and a girl of the name of Taylor. The latter left the room, and the prisoner after some time expressed a wish to be reconciled to the young woman. In the course of con versation she asked him to buy her a new neck lace ; whereupon he put his arm round her neck to feel, as he said, whether she was without. Whilst in this position he drew a razor across her neck, and inflicted a wound several inches long. The poor girl staggered out of the room, and called out " Murder !" and on one of the inmates of the house going up stairs she threw herself into her arms per fectly saturated with blood. Medical aid was instantly pro cured, and the wound sewed up, after which she was con veyed to the Royal Infirmary in a state of insensibility. Brooks never attempted to escape, but on being charged with the offence, said " Yes, I have done the deed ; I have murdered Mary Ann, and can now die in peace." The pri soner, on his examination, manifested perfect indifference, and never attempted to deny the charge. He was remanded till Wednesday, or till the fate of his victim was known. SUNDAY NIGHT.—On inquiry at the Infirmary the poor girl was suffering very severely, but still alive, with a slight prospect of recovery. COURT-MARTIAL ON THE OFFICERS AND CREW OF THE SKTLARK.—A court-martial was held on Monday, on board the flag-ship St. Vincent, in Portsmouth Harbour. It was co:nposed of the following officers, viz. :—Rear Admiral Superintendent Hyde Parker, C.D., President; Captain G. Moubray. of the Victory; Capt. A. L. Corry of the Superb; Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, of the Victoria and Albert; and Capt. Sir Thomas Hastings, of the Excellent; Judge Advocate W. Greatham, Esq. ; to try Lieutenant- Commander George Morris, the officers and ship's company of her Majesty's late brig Skylark, for the loss of the said ves.el. The detailed account of her loss on St. Alban's Head has been recently before the public. It appeared that, in consequence of the illness of Lieut. Morris, the whole charge and responsibility of the navigation and conduction of that vessel rested on Mr. William Henry Crane (acting) master; and, after hearing all the evidence, and a short but ' able defence made by Mr. Crane, the Court, after a short deliberation, were of opinion that due precaution had not been used in navigating the Skylark, particularly in Mr. Crane not having had the lead constantly going; they, therefore sentenced him to be dismissed her Majesty's service, and acquitted Lieut. Morris and ship's company. Mr. Crane appears, before this unfortunate occurrence, to have been considered a clever and correct officer. SERIOUS ILLNESS OF GENERAL SIR GEORGE COCKBURN.—It is with sincere regret we have to state that Sir George Cockburn lies seriously, we fear dangerously ill, at his residence , Shanganagh Castle, near Bray. He has been confined to his room for nearh month—the greater part of the time in bed. We believe that Sir George is one of the eldest cienerela in the British army. —Dublin Evening rist!k 3 % 158 2% 5 1 / 2 2 1 / 4 4 4 41/4 2 5g 27 t i 4cl SPORTING IN TELLIGEN CE NE W MARKET, MONDAY NIGITI.
