The Sun. — London, England, 1845-03-22 00:00:00

A battery of twelve pieces, the Bele remnant of the whole artillery of the army, was spread upon the front of the corps of Desaix. These dispositions made, the First Consul rode through the ranks of his soldiers, and addressed the dif ferent corps. My friends,' said he, wo have fallen back far enough: recollect that I am accustomed to lie on the field of battle.' Having reanimated the troops, who, inspirited by the arrival of the reserves, burned with, impatience to resume the fight, he gave the signal for attack. A charge was beaten along the whole line. " The Austrians, in order of march rather than in order of battle, were proceeding along the high road. The col.urnn urder the command of M. de Zach came first. A little in rear, came the centre, half deployed in the plain, and making front to Lannes. " General Marmont all at once unmasked twelve pieces of cannon. A thick shower of grape-shot fell upon the head of the surprised Austrian column, which expected no further resistance; for the enemy believed that the French were decidedly retreating. Scarcely bad it recovered from this sudden shock, when Desaix set the 9th light in motion Go and inform the First Consul,' sail he to Savary, his aides de-camp, that I am charging, and that I am in want of caval.ry to support me.' Desaix, on horseback, led on this demi brigade. Ho ascended with it the slight rise of the ground which hid it from the view of the Austrians, and abruptly re vealed himself to them by a fire of musketry discharged within a fee , paces of them. The Austrians re turned it, and Desaix fell, pierced by a ball in the chest. 'Conceal my death,' said he, to General Boudet, his chief of division • it might dishearten the troops.' Useless precaution Of that hero 1 His fall had been ob served, and his soldiers, like those of Turenne, insisted, with loud shouts, on avenging their leader. The 9th light, which on that day earned the title of incomparable, which it bore till the termination of our wars—the 9th light, having poured forth its fire, formed in column, and fell upon the dense mass of the Austrians. At sight of it, the first two regiments which opened the march, taken by surprise, fell back in disorder on the second line, and disappeared in its ranks. The column of Letterman's grenadiers was then alone at the head, and received this shock like crack troops. It stood firm. The conflict extended on both sides of the high road. The 9th light was supported on the right by Victor's rallied troops, on the left by the 30th and 59th demi-brigades of Boudet's division, which had followed the movement. Latter rean's grenadiers were defending themselves with diffi culty, when an unforeseen storm suddenly burst over their heads. General Kellermann, who, on the applica tion of Desaix, had received orders to chat ge, set off at a gallop, and, passingbetween Lannes and Desaix, placed part of his squadron en potence, to make head ag ainst the Austrian cavalry, which he saw before him ; then, with the rest, he fell upon the flank of the column of the grenadiers, already attacked in front by Boudet's in factry. This charge, executed with extraordinary vigour, cut the column in two. lCellermann's dragoons slaughtered to the right and to the left, till pressed on all sides, the unrortunate grenadiers laid down their arms. Two thousand of them surrendered. At their head, Gen. Zech himself was obl ged to deliver up his sword. The 'Austrians were thus deprived of their commander during the conclusion of the battle ; for M. de Melt's, as we have seen, thinking himself sure of the victory, had retired to Alexandria. Kellermann did not stop there ; dashing upon the Lichtenstein dragoons, he put them to flight. The latter fell back upon the centre of the Austrians which was deploying in the plain, in face of Lannes, and threw it into some disorder. Lannes then advanced, and attacked the shaken centre of the Austrians with vigour ; while the grenadiers of the con sular guard and Cerra St. Cyr again moved towards Castel Ceriolo, from which they were not far distant. Along the whole line from San Giuliano to Castel Ceriolo, the French had resumed the offensive ; they marched forward, intoxicated with joy and enthusiasm, on perceiving victory returning to them. Surprise and discouragement had passed to the side of the Austrians.' The loss on both sides is thus given : " The losses, considering the number of the com batants, were immense, and out of the usual proportions. The Austrians lost about 8,000 men, in killed and wounded, and more than. 4,000 prisoners. Their staff was cruelly decimated. General Haddick was killed; Generals Vogelsang, Lattermann, Bellegarde, Lamar seine, and Gottesheim were wounded; and with them a great number of officers. Thus they lost, in men hors de combat or taken, one-third of their army, if it was from 36,000 to 40,000 strong, as it is generally said to have been. As for the French, they had 6,000 killed or wounded, and about 1,000 of them were taken prisoners, which again exhibits a loss of one-fourth, out of 28,000 soldiers present at the battle. Their staff suffered as severely as the Austrian staff. Generals Mainony, Ric and, Malher, Champeaux, were wounded, the last mortally. The greatest loss was that of Desaix. France had not sustained one more to be regretted during a ten 'ears' warfare. In the estimation of the First Consul, this loss was great enough to diminish the joy that he felt for the victory. His secretary, M. de Bou:Tienne, hastening to congratulate him on this miraculous triumph, said to him, What a glorious day ! " Yes,' re plied the First Consul, 'lt would have been glorious indeed, could I but have embraced Desaix this evening on the field of battle. I was going,' added he, to make him Minister of War ; I would have made him a prince if I could.' The conqueror of Marengo had as yet no notion that he should, at no distant day, have it in his power to bestow crowns on those who served him. The body of the unfortunate Desaix was lying near San Giu liano, amidst that vast field of carnage. his aideLde camp, Savary, who had been long attachei to him, sought out his body from among the dead, and, recognising it by his profusion of hair, had it removed, and wrapped in an hussar cloak ; then placing it on his horse, he con veyed it to the head quarters at Torre di Garofalo." MALTA. Malta, in its soil and climate, belongs to Africa—in its population, perhaps, to Italy—in its garrison and commerce, to Europe—i.nd in its manners and habits, .to the East. It is a medley of the three quarters of the Old World ; and, for the time, a medley of the most curious description. The native carriages, peasant dresses, shops, furniture of the houses, and even the houses themselves, are wholly unlike anything that has before met the English eye. Malta, in point of religious observances, is like what St. Paul said of Athens—it is overwhelmingly pious. The church-bells tolling are all day long. Wherever it is possible, the cultivation of the ground exhibits the industry of the people. Every spot where earth can be found, is covered with some species of produce. Large tracts are em ployed in the cultivation of the cotton plant—fruit trees fill the soil—the fig tree is luxuriant—pomegra nate, peach, apple, and plum, are singularly produc tive. Tines cover the walls, and the Maltese oranges have a European reputation. The British possession of Malta originated in one of those singular events by which short-sightedness and rapine are often made their own punishers. The importance of Malta, as a naval situation, had long been obvious to England, and when, in the revolutionary war, the chief hostili ties of the war were transferred to the Mediterranean, its value as a harbour for the English fleets became incalculable. Yet it was still in the pos session of the knights ; and, so far as England was concerned, it might have remained in their hands for ever. A national sense of justice would have prevented the seizure of the island, however inadequate to defend itself against the navy of Eng land. But Napleon had no such scruples. In his expedition to Egypt, he threw a body of troops on shore at Malta ; and having either frightened or bribed its masters, or perhaps both, plundered the churches of their plate, turned out the knights, and left the islar .1 in possession of a French garrison. Nothing could be less sagacious and less statesman like than this act; for, by extinguishing the neutrality of the island, he exposed it to an immediate blockade by the English. The result was exactly what he ought to have foreseen. An English squadron was immediately despatched to summon the island ; it eventually fell jai° the hands of the English, and now seems destined to' rennin in English hands so long as we have a ship in the Mediterranean.—The 0 verhaul Passage.

The fault rests en tirely with the tiews-agent who serves them, and who thereby not only injures the paper, but does injustice to his customer.

Accounts from Madrid, of the 14th inst., state that the court •martial, held at Vittoria, on the prisoners implicated in the conspiracy at that place, bad deli vered its judgment. Several of them were con demned to imprisonment fur ten years, but none had been capitally convicted. We, therefore, hope the a reign of terror is passed, and the law is to be admi nistered as in civilised states. The Three per Cents. closed at 351 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 251 for cash, and 261 at 60 days ; and the Coupons at 28i at 30 days. The articles in the Paris papers relate chiefly to the Bill for preventing abuses in the formation of railway companies, and the abolition of vote by ballot. The Bill on railways, which has been con siderably modified in Committee, does not appear to give very general satisfaction, but its object is good, and, if carried into effect, will check fraudulent schemes. According to the Bill, any number of spe culators may issue prospectuses and deliver shares, but these must be genuine, and not got up for frau dulent purposes, otherwise they become liable to im prisonment for not exceeding twelve months, and a fine of from 500 f. to 10,000 f. The new mode of voting in the Chamber took place on the annual grant for military pensions, when the PRESI• DENT announced that the vote on the ensemble of the Bill would be made by the new plan of division. An usher then ascended the tri bune, and placed a black urn (for rejection) on the marble ledge on the left, as the Members generally ascena for the purpose of voting, and laid a white one (for adoption) on the opposite side. The two urns were thus separated by the whole length of the tribune, or by a distance of about eight feet. The Members then crossed the tribune to vote. As each passed the Secretaries, he received a ball which he dropped into one of the urns. The result of the division was-238 votes fur the Bill, and 4 aga i ns t it. This new plan is generally appro ve d o f. Th e ballot will be resorted to only on particular occasions. The intelligence from Zurich is to the 18th instant. It appears from the New Zurich Gazette of that date, that the Committee appointed by the Diet to examine the questions respecting the amnesty, the Jesuits, and the free corps had made their report. They were unanimous as regarded the amnesty, and came to the following resolution :—" The cantons of the Valais, •of Tessino, Argovia, and Lucerne, are invited to grant an amnesty to the authors of political offences committed of late years." With regard to the Jesuits they were divided, and proposed that the Commissioners should be deputed to address a friendly invitation to Lucerne, for the reception of which the Grand Council of the Canton should be convoked before the termination of the sittings of the Diet. Upon the question of the free corps the Com mission are agreed, with the single exception of M. DRUEY, who, contrary to the opinion of the majority, maintains that the Federal Act is sufficient of itself to repress any illegalities which they might commit. The result is unanimity with regard to the amnesty ; condemnation of the free corps by six to one ; and ex pulsion of the Jesuits by four to three. A letter from Zurich of the 16th gives a statement of the population, military force, and revenues of the different cantons ; distinguishing those against and for the Jesuits, from which it will be seen that the strength and numbers of the former far predomi nate:— " Cantons which demand the complete expulsion of the Jesuits :—Berne (Vorort Canton), population in January last, 451,000 ; Zurich, 245,000 ; V au d, 198,000; Argau, 192,000 ; Tess ino, 120,000 ; Thurgau, 89,000 ; Grisons, 88,000 ; S?leure,67,ooo ; Schaffhausen, 33,000; Glaris, 30,500 ; Bale Country (half Canton), 45,000 ; Inner Appenzell (half Canton), 44,000.

The most material are these, namely, that the two Govern ment reportors who attend the meetings of the Repeal Association, and the two policemen wbo are also in attendance to identify the speakers and corroborate the reporters, have been sent for to the Castle; and certain strong passages from the speeches of Messrs. H. Grattan and W. S. O'Brien have been laid before the Irish law officers of the Crown; that, in the opinion of these gentlemen, there are grounds for a prosecution, if not of the association as a body, at least against some of its members; and that a communication to this effect has been forwarded to the Government in London. All this is very likely, and it is not less likely that the fighting Attorney-General should wish to try another fall with the Repealers; but that. Sir R. Peel will hazard another prosecution on the eve of the Queen's visit, unless, indeed, he means to keep her away from Ireland, is most un likely. We say, with our correspondent—impossible! absurd !—Liverpoe/ Mercury. TROTTING FOR TEN POUNDS A-SlDE.—Yesterday afternoon a good number of persons congregated near Manor-house, Tottenham, to be present at the race be tween Holcroft's pony and Harwood's grey pony, which was to trot five miles under saddle; but an arrangement was subsequently made upon the ground to limit the contesting distance to three miles, and, all preliminaries being adjusted, the race was commenced, the grey taking the lead, and performing the first mile in three minutes and a half, and being twenty five yards a-head. At the conclusion of the second mile the grey still main tained the lead, and the time occupied was seven minutes eighteen seconds; and when within half a mile of the goal, the grey w as a hundred yards in advance, and its opponent was pulled in, the grey . pony coming in the winner, and trotti ng th e t h ree maestri eleven minutes and thirty-three seconds. DEATH OF LADY GAAIRIER.—We have to record the demise, at an advanced age, of Lady Gambier, which took place on Monday last, at Iver, Bucks. The deceased lady, who was second daughter of the late Mr. Daniel Matthew, married, in March, 1788, the late Lord Gam bier, Admiral of the Fleet. ING, MARCH 22, prevent the sober from drinking three glasses of wine, or one glass of gin, because drunkards will ( SUMMARY OF NEWS swallow three bottles of the former, and o ne of the latter—is the very verfection of tyranny. " But," say the new moralists, using the most offensive epithets for houses of refreshment—" the gin. shops, beer-shops, and taverns, into which so many thou sands who have homes of their own, congregate on the Sundays, are not necessary for such refreshment, and may therefore fairly be put on the same footing as all other shops where provisions, goods, or wares are sold." This is mere assertion, for others can reply that they are necessary. A man cannot carry his home with him if he goes with his family to see the green fields and bright flowers at Putney or the environs of Gravesend, and if he carries re freshment he makes a toil of a pleasure, without serv ing one good purpose. Punish the guilty, but let the innocent go free. The law, as the poor know to their cost, is sufficiently strong, and the distinctions between them and the rich are already sufficiently odious without these new-fashioned schemes for making men reli gious by Acts of Parliament, and sober by forbidding them the rational enjoyments of life.

The motion of Mr. MORISON, on Thursday night, had for its object to make Parliamentary provision for that which ought long since to have been guaranteed to the public by the Legislature. The Hon. Gentle man called upon the House to affirm three resolutions of a declaratory and economic character, to the effect that the public should be secured the utmost amount of accommodation in railroad travelling, at the lowest rates of charge, which may Le compatible with a fair interest or return, to the several railway companies, on the capitals invested by them in such under takings ; that the arrangements introduced in respect of some former railway Acts for guarding the public against the exaction of unreasonable or even exorbitant fares had been found to fail, utterly, in practical working; and that, in all future railway Bills or agreements to be made between the Board of Trade and the directors of companies, the latter should be required to assign, beforehand, the highest rates of fares which they would be content to take as the extreme limits within which the charges that would adequately remunerate them should be fixed. Whatever force may attach to the objection taken by Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET to the terms of these resolutions, especially of the latter, which we agree with his Lordship would not necessarily secure to the public the maximum charge by ascertaining the mini mum demand to be made by future railway corw. panies for fares—it must be allowed that the pro positions which they involve are reasonable enough. Mr. MORISON showed very clearly that from the favour with which the present system of railroad tra velling has been adopted by the public, it is rapidly superseding all other modes whatever of moving from one part of the kingdom to another. We quite con cur with him also in considering the marvellous faci lities of locomotive communication and intercourse which we have already attained, as being at once the result and the evidence of an extremely advanced de gree of civilisation. But in this—as in so many other branches of economic labour and art—the neces sity of progress is an indispensable condition attached to permanency of success. When the improvement of material forces, and of machinery for their exhibition, shall have reached a point of ap parent perfection, there will still, doubtless, be discovered many new and important im provements in the system and details of Administration connected with these vast undertakings. Now it is not less essential to this principle of pro gress, and its concomitant prosperity in railway con cerns, than it is to the convenience, service, and benefit of the public, that the former should not take too large fares for travelling from the latter. The palpable in fusion of the monopoly principle in the constitution of every existing railway company, sanctioned by the dangerous laxity of the Legislature in passing the Bills for their establishment in a form and with powers enabling them to enforce such principle to its fullest extent, is already felt as a serious grievance under a variety of circumstances. Excessive fares are an imposition of which the public soon be comes cognizant. In point of fact, no worse policy could be well pursued .by any new company than the attempt to exact unreason able fares from those who are to support them ; and in that point of view, perhaps, there is not much reason to apprehend that new companies would, in such a manner, compromise their own welfare. But, as it was remarked in the course of the debate, the remedy for any abuse, however oppressive in railway management, is of so cumbrous and protracted a character that it will be but seldom, and only in the last necessity, resorted to. Under the high-road system of travelling, for extortion, misconduct, or incivility of any kind, there was always a means of punishment and redress at hand to those who were habitual sufferers by such proceedings. It was a work of little difficulty and of no overwhelming expense, distributed as that expense was, among a few subscribing residents and pro prietors along the line of road,—to establish an oppo sition coach with all its appointments, relays of horses, stabling, staff of coachmen, &c. &c. An opposition railroad is quite another affair. The most credulous speculators in railroad projects would be disinclined to subscribe a second capital of one or two millions, in order to construct between two termini already so connected, a second railroad, even were Parliament, for such a purpose, disposed to negociate with a se cond set of parties for the purchasing up of a second strip of freehold through fifty or sixty miles of the kingdom. The Duke of WELLINGTON alone, among the Peers, had the sagacity, we well remember, to foresee, when the Bills for some of the earliest esta blished railroads (such as the London and Birmingham, Great Western, and London and Southampton Line Bills), were before the House of Lords, the extent and inconvenience of the monopoly which the Legislature were sanctioning. His Grace strongly urged upon the Lords the necessity for taking guarantees from these companies that the public should not be placed in a worse position, as to the fares to be demanded for travelling by rail, than they were in then, in respect of fares for high-road travelling and posting un d er a _ _ _ _ _ long matured system, which had at that time attained its culminating point of perfection, and has ever since teen rapidly declining to decay. For once, the Duke's remonstrances were disregarded by Parlianitnt. With all our respect, and even admiration for the excellent management and general liberality displayed by our great railway companies, we must say that subsequent events have largely justified the Duke's solicitude. Mr. MORISON'S resolutions seem excellently adapted (at any rate, with regard to new or future companies) to supply the ladies of Parliament in not having sooner devised and organised those guarantees which the Honourable Gentleman so justly demands on behalf of the public. We are pleased to observe the consideration and marked favour with which they were entertained by the House, and have no doubt that Lord G. SOMERSET, when they shall have bee] shaped to meet the objection suggested by his Lord _ _ ship on principle, and so as to avoid some technical informality which is supposed to attach to their original ' wording, will give them the, benefit of his sincere and efficient support. The service which Mr. Mostisort proposes to render to the public was clearly demonstrated in a speech distinguished, as the speeches of that Honourable Gentleman always are, by its neatness and ability. We direct the attention of our readers, and espe cially those who are bent on closing public-houses on Sunday, to a letter of Mr. BUCKINGHAM, in another part of the paper. Mr. BUCKINGHAM has studied the question—possibly he is a living example for tee totallers, drinks no spirituous liquors, and never enters a house of refreshment on Sunday. He is a sincere friend of the lower classes, anxious for their improvement, and his opinion on the subject, therefore, is entitled to consideration. But really he advances no argument against drinking beer, and gin, and wine, which might not be urged against the blessings which have been bountifully provided for rational beings. Before he can gainsay our argument, he must have recourse to a postulate which the wisdom of ages has rejected. No man in his senses will grant that wine and beer are poisons, or even admit that they are injurious to health, if taken in moderation. We have the highest autho rity for the use of wine. ST. PAUL recommended it to young TIMOTHY; and one of the most remarkable miracles on record was the turning of water into ine. Grave moralists, therefore, can only blame the abuse, and to that we are as much op posed as Mr. BUCKINGHAM or Father MATHEW. But to punish one man for the crime of another—to 7...6117' BND POLZCP. Mr. Baron Platt sentenced a man named Walker, who was convicted at Stafford of manslaughter. to Six months' imprisonment. The prisoner and the deceased, who worked for the same master, had a quarrel, and in a fit of passion the prisoner rushed at his :unfortunate victim and cut him down with a sickle. At Carmarthen, a man named Theophilus Thomas was convicted of highway robbery. Thomas Bull, an agricultural labourer, was indicted at Huntingdon for setting fire to a stack of haulm on the 6th of March. The prisoner, it appeared, had frequently invited persons to assist him in firing the prosecutor' s premises, in order to get sent out of the country, as transports lived better than he did, and he also stated that he should stop till a little while before the assizes, as then he should not have to be long in prison; He was convicted, and sentenced to twenty year s transportation. COURT-FASHIONABLE. Viscount and Viscountess Jocelyn have gone on a vi ,it to Earl and Countess Cowper, at Pansanger, near Hertford, for the holidays. Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston left town on Thursday, for Brockett Hall, Herts, on a visit to Vis count Melbourne. Lord and Lady Beauvale have also gone to Brockett for the Easter recess. The Countess De Grey has left St. Jame's-square, for Pansanger, on a visit to Earl and Countess Cowper, who are entertaining a large circle at that beautiful seat dur ing the recess. The Earl of Minto and Lady Elizabeth Elliot left Lady Hislop's on Thursday last, on their return to join the Countess and family at Minto House, N.B. Lord and Lady Melgund are staying at the family seat for the present, but it is expected that the Noble Lord and Lady will to come to town towards the close of next month for her Ladyship's accouchement. The Earl and Countess of Yowls and the Ladies Her bert are expected to leave Pawls Castle, Welshpool, about the Bth of next month, for town, for the season. Viscount Clive, M.P., has gone to Wales for the Parliamentary recess. The Earl of Yarborough has arrived at Appulder combo, Isle of Wight, from town. Lord and Lady Worsley have arranged to remain in town during the holidays. The Duke of Devonshire has returned to Devonshire shire House, from visiting the Earl and Countess of Granville at Brighton. The Noble Earl is much better. MISCELLANEOUS. It will be interesting to the antiquary and the lover of art to know that the exertions of Mr. Doubleday, in the restoration of the Portland vase, have been so successful, that it will in the course of a short time again be sub. mitted to public inspection very little blemished by the effects of an injury which at first seemed to he irreparable. Sir Henry Ellis and other antiquarians have expressed their approbation of the neatness with which the work has been completed, and of the ingenuity of the lutists employed. Edward Lloyd, the author of the mischief; left London immediately on his discharge, and returned to Dublin, and it is understood to be intention of the Duke of Portland to institute proceedings against him for the damage done to his property. On Good Friday morning, the Brighton and South- Eastern Railway terminus at London-bridge was literally besieged by the holiday folks, the Directors having an nounced their intention of running at half fares. The first trains took to Brighton nearly two thousand per sons, and to Dover about nine hundred. The Greenwich Railway also took great numbers the first thing in the morning, and at twelve o'clock nearly one thousand people were waiting for the starting of the trains at one o'clock. The Greenwich steamers were exceedingly crowded owing to the fineness of the weather. The case of the Rev. Mr. Oakeley is, we hear, to be brought before the Arches Court, by letters of request, some time in the course of the next term. The Rev. Gentleman has been during the week paying a visit to the Rev. Mr. Newman, at Littlemore. Viscount De Vesci has been appointed Custos Rotu lorum of the Queen's County, in the room of the Earl of Mornington, deceased. It is expected that the new Customs Bill, which comes into actual operation to-day, will make a great difference in the mode of doing business at the docks, the greater portion of the articles relieved from payment of duty being cleared direct by free entry from the side of the importing vessel, instead of being housed in the bonded warehouses, by which means the duties of the landing department will be considerably increased, and those of the in-door or warehousing department proportionably lessened. The Right Hon. George R. Dawson, Commissioner of Customs, paid a visit to the St. Katherine Docks on Thursday afternoon, visiting the several. departments of the establishment, and inspecting the official books, &c. Ile also inspected the sample of sugar furnished as the standard by which the sugars in bond were to be tested, and future importations of the article regulated, under the provisions of the New Sugar Bill, making in quiries as to the mode of the same being carried into operation. It is expected that the New Customs Bill, Which comes into actual operation to-day, will make a great difference in the mode of doing business at the docks, the greaterportionof the articles relieved from paytrent of duty being cleared direct, by free entry, from the side of the importing vessel, instead of being housed into bonded warehouses, by which means the duties of the landing department will be considerably increased, and those of the in-door or warehousing de partment proportionably lessened. On Good Friday the Licensed Victuallers round Smithfield were allowed to keep open their houses throughout the whole of the morning, for the accommo dation of the dealers. Last year the question was raised as to their right, and although none could be distinctly shown, the necessity was evident, as so many persons ar rived from the country, and some summonses heard be fore Sir Peter Laurie were dismissed. The departure of Mdlle. Rachel for Italy is, according to the latest French papers, decided upon definitively, in consequence of the serious illness under which that great tragedian is at present suffering. The perfect quiet and rest that have been so long recommended and enforced by her medical attendants, have only proved, as it would appear, palliatives, and not remedies for the ailments ; consequently, she has been ordered to go at once into the south. Dr. Woodhouse, Senior Fellow of Gonville and Caius, Cambridge, died on Thursday, the 20th, at his rooms in that college. The deceased gentleman took the degree of Doctor of Medicine many years ago, but never prac tised as a physician, lie chiefly occupied himself in painting, and in the portrait line was such an excellent artist that the likenesses which he has painted from time to time of many of his distinguished contemporaries would form of themselves an interesting gallery, THE ARMY.
