SlR,—Observing in your paper of the 2.1 of April an account of the recent appointments in the corps of_Royal Marines of a second commandant to each division, toge ther with the length of service of every officer of the re spective ranks promoted, I beg to remark the statement is inaccurate. On referring to the lists for nearly sixty years back, it appears the senior officer promoted to Second Commandant has served fifty-three years, the Major to Lieut.-Colonel, thirty-eight years, Captain to Major this ty -4x years, Ist Lieut. to Captain twenty-seven years, and 2d Lieut. to Ist Lieut. nineteen years. If it will not be infringing too much on the valuable columns of your excellent and extensively circulated paper, I shall feel obliged by your in , erting the following remarks, which will account for the unpralleled length of services in each grade of officers. Upon the reduction of the Miriue corps, in ISI4, from 35,000 to 6,000 men, a larger proportion of officers of all ranks were placed on half -pay, and from that time up to 1820, a period of six years', there was no promotion in the corps, although several death vacancies occurred in battle. On such occasions in the Army promotion is invariably given! - In 1826 his Royal,flighness the Duke of York obtained for the Subaltern* the Army permission to retire, with the unattached rank* Captain, upon five shillings per day. This considerate act of kindness was denied to th'e corps of Royal Marines, with the exception of shout twelve, when there were nearly fifty who applied for, and woutdkhdly have availed themselves of the indulgence cone.quentty'there are new in this unfortunate service, men who have served twenty-seven years as Subalterns, and the junior of 120 let Lieutenants has neelf pleted twenty years servitude. But the most grievous and dietreesing event the corP has to deplore, and for which no precedent can be found; was bringiog back to the service men who had retired, either to follow their private pursuits or to hold civil ap pointments. These officers, through interest, returned to their original rank and standing on the list, after an ab sence of ten to twelve years from the service. The follow ;nn are tie names of the officers so restored :—Lieut- C tionels G. Lewis, C.B , civil appobtment (Barrack M and R. Torreon ; Majors J. Maozhau, F. G. G. Lee, and W. Taylor ; Csptain W. F. Clements. Now, every military man will be well aware of what the feelings •,f the old veterans of the corps must be at such an occur- C. net. From tLe flatttring encomiums and high marks of dis tinction and favour bestowed upon the corps of Marines of litre years, it wa. hoped promotion would have been !he reward of their long and faithful serviced. With every due apology for this intripiertf, I have the honeur to be, Sir, your mo.t obedient servant. AN OFFICER ON THE HAti-PAY.t S.. Hillier., Jersey, April 27. DUBLIN, MAY 1. . 1 Dulces linquehant animas, aut mgra trahebant corpora.** AR the sensations habtually kept up in this country kr agitators, conservators, and the various other idlers affil lovers of notoriety, have yielded to the cholera panic; which is sparing no party, rank, or profession. You wilF have seen by the public prints, how greatly die disease has increased since I lac wrote to you. The number of cases reported this m.rning for this city is 125, being a decrease of seventy upon yesterday's account. The scourge is not, however, I am sorry to say, confined to those places alone from which reports are made, as several persons have died in Carlow or its vicinity, and other places, from which no account has yet been published. Hitherto its ravages have been among the poor and destitute ; or it has attacked the intemperate only, and persons of dissipated habits, among the more independent classes of society. But within these few days a. great number of the moat regu lar and estimable members of society have been attacked, and some of them died, either suddenly, or toter a very short illness. In the meantime the most active precau tions continue to be everywhere adopted; and the poor people, who last week manifested a sturdy opposition to the measures of care and attention bestowed on such of them as were taken ill, are beginning to yield. This is principally owing to the address of Dr. Murray, the Ro. man Catholic Archbishop, and the Sisters of Charity who have been permitted to visit the patients at the hospital': This religious community, so well known in Franee ; s h at which has lately been introduced into this country, are indefatigable in their attendance oa the sick, and with the best possible effect on this occasion. The poor people who before imagined that they were taken to the hospital for surgical purposes, are, since these ladies commenced their visits, disabused of that notion, and beginning to he rem. cited to the treatment they receive. Trade is likely to be much injured, as the flight to the country of most of those who can afford to go, prevents the shopkeepers from selling, or laying in a stock of the varieties of the season. It is expected that the Marquess of Angisea's arrival will increase the means of providing for the necessities of those poorer victims who are already claiming the commisera tion of their more wealthy fellow•citisene. I believe I can state, on good authority, that Government contemplates a system of Poor Laws for Ireland. The necessity of pro viding for the poor and sick of this city, under the present awful visitation, will afford an opportunity of judging how such an establishment may work in this country.

A BACCHANALIAN—Henry Oliver, late of the Mg. ware-road, was opposed by Mr. Goodwin, a baker and credi tor, in person, who had supplied him with an abundance of roll on a credit account. " Eaten bread," says the proverb, " is soon forgotten," and so it appears in this case. Mr. Goodwin submitted to the Court that the insolvent had ruined his circumstances and the just hopes of his creditors by a too liberal devotion to the god Bacchus, at whose shrine he av , s nightly in the habit of demolishing sundry bottles of wine. Against this sweeping assertion the insolvent entered his protest, which gave rise to the following dialogue:— Mr. Goodwin—Now, insolvent, were you not in the habit of demolishing half a dozen bottles of wine nightly at a sitting?—(Laughter.) Insolvent—Not quite so much as six bottles. Mr. Goodwin—Have you never taken four bottles at one sitting? Insolvent-4 may have taken four. Mr. Goodwia—On yur oath, Sir, have you not taken eighteen bottles at One bitting? Insolvent— Don't think I ever took so many. The dialogue would have been continued much longer, but the Court interfered, and observed, that deep as the libations had been, they were not sufficient in themselves to warrant a remand in the case. The insolvent, who is much more likely to promote the interests of his Majesty's revenue out of prison, than he could hope to do in it, was consequently declared entitled to " the benefit of the Act." GOETHE'S mother related to a friend that he came - dome one day from the town library (when he was yet a youth) snapping his fingers and jumping about as if he were crazy :—" Oh, mother, I have found gush a hook—the life of old GOTZ ; I will turn it into a play, and I will call it, ' The Knight with the Iron Hand.' How that iron hand will make the Philistines stare !" Our readers probably know that at the German Universities the world is divided between Student and Philistine ; and so among poets, artiste, men of taste—all the others are Phi— listines. It is a curious coincidence that Sir W. SCOTT began his literary career by a forgotten translation of this tragedy..—Mthly Repository. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. A Court was held yesterday for despatch of general business. After the minutes of the former Court had been read and confirmed, the following letters were read :--, " TO SIR JOHN KEY, BART., LOAD MAYOR. "MY LORD,-I have had the honour, on my return to town, of receiving your Lordship's letter ; and I beg to convey, through your Lordship, my grateful sense of the high honour done to me by the citizens of London in pre senting me with the freedom of their city. This honour is enhanced by the recollection of the support ever given by your distinguished body to the rights and liberties of t t o h e m p e y opl e, humble and also efforts from in th that e gr assurance t f h o a r t t i h t e w s a u s cce owin sso g f which we are so firmly united. To your Lordship I must offer, personally, my sincere thanks for the mode in which the compliment has been conferred. " I have the honour to be, &e. i resolutions passed g Y. payse ' o ' Lordship'sc' ill v L o letter,i , en l h cl a os v had ng a e t o h p e y h o o l o t o i u m r your of at the last Court, in which the freedom of your city has been bestowed upon me.

" I have the honour to be, &c. " ALTHORP." These letters were ordered to be entered in the minutes of the Court. The Committee of the New London Bridge recom mended that the city seal be affixed to a bond tor the loan of 50,000/. from the Bank of England, to carry on the improvements.—Ordered. The Court then adjourned. Viscount ALTHORP has arrived at his residence in Downing-street, from Leamington (Warwickshire), where his Lordship has been on a vi'it for a few days to hie mother-in-law, Mrs. Acitax, to whose daughter the Noble Chancellor of the Exchequer united himself in 1814. Lord ALTHORP had the affliction to lose his lady in 1818, and he has not since formed a second nsatrimonial con. nexion. Lady ALTHORP brought a large fortune to the Noble Viscount, who became possessed of his seat, Wyston Hall, in Yorkshire, in right of his wife. In the event of Lord ALTEORT dying without male issue, the Earldom of Spencer, with its vast domains, will devolve on his brother, the Hon. Captain Fitzoxiticx SPENCER, M.P. for Wor. cester county. LORD KENYON SITTING CORRECTED;_ Soon after Lord KENYON was appointed Master of the Rolls, he was listening very attentively to a young clerk, who was reading to him, before a number of gentlemen of the long robe, the conveyances of an estate, and on coming to the word enough pronounced it mow. His Honour immediately interrupted him,—" Hold ! hold I. you must stand corrected, enough is, according to the ver nacular custom, pronounced enuff, and PO must all other English words which terminate in ough ; as, for example, tough, rough, cough, &c. The clerk bowed, blushed, and went on for some time, when coming to the word plough, he with a loud voice, and penetrating look at his Honour, called it pig! The great lawyer stroked his chin, and with a smile, candidly said, " Young man, I sit corrected." There lately occurred, not many miles front the Cross, a disturbance among some of the poor people on the removal of a cholera patient. The cry way,kill the doctors, use Board of Health ! but an old woman , exert ing herself with all her might to allay the tumult , at la , t exclaimed, "Clear the way there , clear t he way , here c itnei the Boatd as' Health !" This exclamation , as might he ex p cted, commanded the attention or all ; wh en , to the astonishment of the mob, the "Board of Health," ,vhich the old woman referred to, patud through the crowd, in the shape of a baker, with a large burden of loaves smoking upon his bread board.
