At precisely twenty-five minutes past two o'clock this day, his MAJESTY, escorted by a party of the 14th Light Dragoons, and accom panied by Sir HERBERT TAYLOR, arrived at the Palace in St. James's from Windsor, and shortly after held a Court and Levee, which Were numerously attended. A Privy Council was afterwards held. His MAJESTY will re turn to Windsor at six o'clock. With a liberal Government, a Secretary at War so avowedly hostile to flogging in the army, and such a strong feeling against it in the House of Commons and out of it, there is every pro bability that the degrading punishment will soon become unknown. Its continuance, particularly in time of peace, is a disgrace to the British army, and a stigma on the national character, No man who has any respect for himself, or any thing like manly feeling, can ever recover from the disgrace fixed on him by the pu nishment. It does not attach a degrading character, however, to the delinquent only, but to every soldier ; and the very idea that he is subject to such a punishment for a trifling of fence makes him feel more strongly than any other circumstance the sad distinction between himsef and a private citizen. Independent of the cruelty and disgrace of the punishment, there is anothe r point which well merits attention, — namely, that of economy. Can any one doubt f or a moment that if flogging were abolished It would be infinitely more easy to find recruits? that, consequently, a smaller bounty would be required, and that the loss from ex pelling irreclaimable and abandoned characters Would be more than compensated by this saving to th e public. The British peasantry, particu larly those in the northern part of the island, and who form the best part of the army, look with great horror on such a punishment. A blow unresented is regarded indeed in every Part of the island as an indelible disgrace, yet the Legislature, as if to subdue that high spirit, have given military authorities the power of inflict ing 300 lashes on young men, sometimes of good character and manly feeling, merely for some occasional excess or partial breach of discipline. It is well kno%,ii that the French army is ex empted from such a disgraceful mode of pre serving discipline, and no one will deny that army the character of being one of the most ef fective in the world ; yet some of our military grandees, in spite of such an instance—in spite of experiments made in the British army, declare that flogging and good disci pline must cease together. Sir GEo. MURRAY is one of this class. This Gallant Officer, with a great deal of suavity of manner, and plausible pretensions to candour and liberal feeling, has, 'with the exception of the Catholic Question, 41 °WII himself the enemy of all liberal improve ttients. Ever, indeed, since the abdication of \ \ l t LLINGTON, he has been a thoroughgoing ]artisan. He opposed Reform, only less de cidedly than WELLINGTON, because he spoke alt er the public feeling was known, and he ' s hed to get the party out of the " c rape i n t o which they had been brought ' their l ea d er . He opposed that liberal and Christian system of education adopted by Gove rnment for Ireland, and he opposes a n y thteration i e n the flogging laws—nay, he blames w returns proposed by the SECRETARY at Alt, as an encroachment on the authority of Court 11 Iartials. He pretends to give an in• Bst ane e in Irel an d i n w hi c h t h e exper i me nt failed. Lint what proof is one failure, lifter when there are o A tIS instances of regiments being preserved 1:f good discipli ne for years without one example • 'Lary flogging? • Even military men are Iced • •.e in opinion on the subject, and that alone clU ght l ea - warrant an experiment for a year at s St ' Sir JOHN BRYDGES declared that having B erv ed in the army for some time, he had no he ation in saying that it would be much better If flo gg i ng were abolished altogether. The Permission granted to Mr. HumE last night to bring in a Bill to exclude the Recorder c' nipii f Dubli n f rom sitting in Parliament is a signal tIIU i for the cause o f j us tice and good sense. The.r, office in question is one so well paid, and ilulring such con s t an t ass id u ity, that it should j e held to the exclusion of all Parliamentary 'locations. According to the advices from Bahia, the t,rar crop presented a very unfavourable ap piArance, and the ordinary crop, which was reckoned on an average at 72,000 cases, would not be come up to by the present year's by one half. Trade was in a very depressed state. The accounts from Trebisond mention that the hopes conceived of an active commerce' for that place during 1832, in consequence of the activity displayed during the two last years, had not been realized ; none of the vessels which entered the port in 1831 had come in this year up to the beginning of 717. The c;:•_urn stances by which the rising prosperity of the place had been checked, were the introduction of heavy imposts into the pachalik, and the en forcement of violent administrative innovations, which had created great discontent, and natu rally produced a suspension of mercantile rela tions. The establishment of a Russian tariff in Georgia had nearly put an end to the commerce of that district with Trebisond. From Tibris, where no sales could be effected, the Europeans had been obliged to send their goods to Tcheran. - _ LITERATURE. THE BEIDENJIA UER. 3 VoLs. LONDON, 1832. The chief recommendation of this tale is, that it is by Mr. Cooper, the American novelist, whose sailors and backwoodsmen and Huron Indians will long keep his memory green in the public mind. In other respects it is neither above nor below the average level of mediocrity. Its characters want the vividness of reality ; but its scenic descriptions are as effective as ever. MIRABEA U'S LETTERS. 2 VOLS. LONDOX, 1832. A well-written memoir of Mirabeau, one of those extraordinary spirits whom none but revolu tionary periods can call into full, active existence, prefaces this very singular collection of charac teristic epistles. Its only blemish is that it leans too decidedly to the unfavourable side of Mirabeau's character, which—defective as it was in many of the relations of private life—in its public capacity was, we believe, consistent and unsullied by any unworthy motives. Mirabeau died just in time for his own reputation, but too soon for the interest of France. Had he sur vived but two years longer, that country would never have been deluged with the blood of thousands of its best and bravest citizens. He had unlimited power over the passions of the mob, and could raise or depress them at will. After his death, they knew neither check nor controul, and had the usual result of hurrying France into a licentious and bloody despotism. Though professedly a man of the people, Mira beau, it seems now pretty generally understood, was an aristocrat at heart, and though he would have curbed the power of the French noblesse, yet he would never have allowed the utter anni hilation of the order. He would have given France a constitution similar to that which Eng lishmen have long nominally possessed, but are now in reality to possess. This love of con stitutional order breathes through many of his letters, which in other respects also are curious, as developing the conceit, the wit, the fancy, the enthusiasm, the alternate love of indolence and enterprize, that characterized the French Grac chus. They are very ably translated. THE GERMANIC EDICTS.-(THIS DAY.) A public meeting was held this day at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, for the purpose of testifying the feelings of abhorrence and indignation entertained by the people of this country at the edicts lately issued by the Princes of Germany, which threatened to subvert the liberties of that country, and through it those of the whole civilized world. Shortly after one o'clock, THOMAS CAMPBELL, Esq. the poet, took the Chair. The CHAIRMAN observed, that it was not upon slight occasions that he attended political meetings, indeed he hrd an aversion to them, unless it was upon some pecu liarly interesting crisis in public affairs. Such a crisis ! , ad now arrived, from the oppressed state of Ger many, and the threats that had been held out to Ler, and through her to the rest of the world. It would appear that the despotic Governments of Austria and Prussia, after assisting Russia in the strangulation of Poland—(Cheers)—had gone to another country, and caused to be put forth from Frankfort an edict to exter minate the free constitutions and the free press of not less than fifteen millions of the human species—(Hear, hear) —and of what people ? Oi the learned, the pacific, the virtuous, the industrious Germans—the Germans to whom we owed the invention of the press itself. They well knew that the press was the organ of public-spirited eloquence—that eloquence which was the child of liberty, the dutious child that supported its parent.—(Cheers.) They would if they could put an end to public spirit, to public liberty, and to the press itself. He begged pardon for using a metaphor in speaking on this subject, for it was not a subject of romance.— (Hear.) He was sure, that if it did not concern ourselves, there was public spirit and humanity enough in its to make it a subject of deep importance ; best if it did not now come home to the people of this country, it would some time or the other, perhaps when it was too late to oppose it.—( Hear.) If this country allowed Germany to be enslaved by Princes, who were themselves to be slaves 01 Russia—(Loud and continued cheering)—they might come to repent the downfall of liberty in Germany. Most people remembered the decrees issued by Napoleon against our commerce, which, thank God, did us less harm than he intended, but those decre.s were as feathers and jokes in comparison with the hostility waged against Germany by those Princes. Englishmen were called on, by their duty to the world and to their own interests, to repu diate and reprobate the edict lately issued from the Diet of Frankfurt, proposed doubtless in the first instance by Russia, and completed by Austria and Prussia—an edict which those slaves and despots bad no more right to issue than the present meeting. His reason for thinking that Englishmen would resist this edict was, that it was not only a breach of the Germanic Constitution, but, what was of much greater importance, it was a breach of that compact, by which the weak should be protected against the strong, and of defiance to all inter national law. It was a thunder-cloud charged with danger to the civilized world. For what was it that we expended our blood and treasure against Napoleon, but because we wished to remove the incubus of overwhelming domination which pressed on Europe. But after that blood and treasure had been wasted, it now appeared we were to have a tomb-stone placed on us, and a more insolent domina tion than that of Napoleon himself—a domination of kingdom breakers, who deem it to he a great part of their duty to annihilate free constitutions. The despots state that they were not going to take away the people's property, but merely to enslave them. But when once they were en slaved, their property in the shape of taxes would be wholly out of their control, and Germany be ultimately partitioned as Poland had al .eady been. The present meeting had been called merely to express their sentiments ;—but as sentiments were the ground-work of action, it ti4ht be inferred by some that we might prob ibly he involved in war. He abhorred war ; but if such a peace as this was to be preserved, he would say, it was to him war. There were two kinds of peace, there was peace purchased by silence and servility, that began in disorder, and ended in destruction. There was peace which they were sure to obtain, a safe and honourable peace, if they , !ernanded it with the bold front of Englishmen. He would say, let us have no church-yard plant under the yew-tree of Russian domination, with the spectre of trampled Poland before us. The most awful, yet the least deniable circumstance was, that this was not a quarrel between nations, but was part and parcel of a great Imperial conspiracy against the liberties of mankind. It was the after-piece to Poland, and a prelude to even worse •cenes. Though the autocrat of Russia was not on the stage, he was the great stage prompter. It was, therefore, of great importance that the people of England should make a public avowal of their sentiments. It was due to thedis tressed Germans to meet to soothe their despair, to fortify their hopes, so that they might avoid the last dire ne cessity of an appeal to arms. The Hon. Gentleman sat down amidst loud cheers. Colonel EVANS concurred in all the sentiments of the Chairman, and said the edict of Frankfort was most un exampled in barefaced atrocity, and deliberate contrariety, to every principle of justice and good order.—lt clearly exposed the conspiracy against the liberties of mankind, and was propounded as such, and it went the length of putting down whenever they pleased the liberties of any of the states, whether the individual potentates called upon the great Powers or not.—(Hear.) The Edict, it was true, purported only to emanate from two great powers, but there could be no doubt that it ema n ited from St. Peterbburgh.—( Hear.) After some fur ther observations, the Hon. and Gallant Colonel con cluded by moving the following resolution : " That this meeting feels it to be the duty of Engl shmen toward a nation kindred in blood with our selve , and respected by us on account of their virtues and tlieir love of liberty, to declare our regret and indignation at the attacks recently made upon the fundamental rights and privileges of the people of Germany, at the assembly in Frankfort, called the German Diet." Mr. MURRAY seconded the resolution. The question did not confine itself to Germ soy ; for, if not firmly met at the outset, it would extend over the whole continent ; and eventually, if not checked, it would extend to our own dear England. The question was between freedom and despotism. If the German people were well seconded by Englishmen, they must conquer. The resolution was then put from the Chair, and carried unsnim, udy. The Rev. Dr. WADE proposed the second resolution, as follows : " That we, as inhabitants of England, having known by long experience what the representation of a p-ople ought to be, and being aware, that under Divine Provi dence the greatest blessings of a people are apt to result trom their fair and full representation in the Councils which Are to direct their destiny, do exceedingly lament the circumstanc e of the German people not being represented n the Confederation of Germany, but entirely misrepresented in the assembly at Frankfort, called the German Diet." The Rev. Gentleman said that representation was now so well understood in this country that he need hardly say that taxation without it was tyranny, yet this was what the diet of Frankfort wanted to establish in Germany. We talked of borouglimongers in this country, but these despots, these envoys of the Prussians and Austrians, were the real borouehmongers of the continent, and he trusted that their fall would soon be as great as their brethren of this country. They were nothing better than rob oers; yet was it to be allowed that they should with impunity plunder a whole, brave, and learned people of their liberty, while a poor man who went on the highway and robbed another of half a crown, was punished with di ath. He was a loyal man, and one who loved his King ; therefore it was that he hoped William the 4th wouid soon separate himself from these royal liurkers. It was not fit to see the King of England fol lowing the dictations of the Imperial Bear. To the Press of England he returned his sincere thanks. In the cause of Reform they had done wonders, and be was glad to see they had so warmly taken up the cause of the brave Germans. As a Minister of the Gospel, he trusted there would be no war, but if it was necessary, he hoped the sceptres of the miserable des pots would be broken, and the people would come out of the trial with a settled character of liberty. The resolution was seconc:ed by Mr. Lawless. He was sorry, he said, to see the King of Hanover. the man who Lad only a few days since signed the glorious act of emancipation for England,—he was sorry, he said, to see that he was the very first man to give in his adhesion to this despotic measure. It was not a seemly sight to see him in such a company of crowned conspirators. Mr. HosKiNs knew, from having studied among them, that no people were more peaceful, or greater lovers of liberty, than the Germans; and it would do honour to the county to express themselves strongly in their fa vour. It was essential to our own commerce that the Continent should have as much liberty as we en joyed, for while they were enslaved they could not attend to their commerce, which, of course, was as much to the loss of this country as of the Continent. He did not opiite agree with those who threw al the blame on the Autocrat, for from the little he knew of the despots of Austria and Prussia, he could give them full credit for be ing as forward in this crusade against the liberties of the people, as even the great Bear of the North. Mr. Wysx, M.P., rose to propose the third resolution, as follows, and was left speaking. " That the thank, of this meeting shall be voted to those virtuous, manly, and enlightened Patriot, who have stood up 1 0 , th e i ights of Germany in the Chambers of Hanover, Baden, B tvaria, Hesse Cassel, Wurtemburg, Brunswick, and the other free States of -the German empire, and that they be assured of our most ardent wishes for their success in resisting the internal as well as the external enemies of their common country." ASSIZES-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.) WORCESTER, JULY 24. William Crawford, a sailor, was indicted for killing and slaying Eliza Smallwood. The prisoner pleaded " Not guilty." Charles Mitchell was working in the same shop with the prisoner at the time the offence was committed , hard the prisoner say to Eliza Smallwood, who was working at the same block with him, " You —, what do )ou burn me for ?" and immediately Eliza Smallwood screamed out ; witness went directly to the place from his block, and saw Eliza Smallwood with an iron stuck in her back ; had seen prisoner with the iron half a minute be fare,—he had taken it red hot from the furnace. Saw Mrs. Etnuss pull the rod out of Eliza Smaliwood's back ; she (Smallwood) ran out of the shop, and witness followed her home. The prisoner entered soon after, and said, "Oh ! Lord ! oh !" and began crying. Eliza Smallwood was about 14 or 15 years of age. _ _ Other witnesses were called, who corroborated the first witness's statement. Witnesses were called, who spoke to the previous good character of the prisoner, and kindness towards the de ceased. One of theta stated, as an exception, that he " used her very kindly, barring now and then a blow in the shop."—Guilty—Eighteen months' confinement and hard labour. William Crowther, a respectable-looking man, and who had been a butcher, was indicted for having uttered a forged cheque for 251. 10s., in the name of John Phil lips, Esq., on the banking-house of Messrs. Berwick, Lechmere, and Co., and put it off at the house of Messrs. Ralford and Co., at Bromserove. The offence had been committed in the year 1828, but the prosecution was not proceeded with then, and had only been commenced in the early part of the present year. The evidence against the prisoner was conclusive, and the Jury found him Guilty. lie was sentenced to trans- portation for life. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. SNIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(TITIS DAY.)

We have no arrivals this morning either of foreign mails or ship letters, which causes a great dulness in the city. The wind is getting round to the westward, and we may expect to-morrow some information from Don Pedro's expedition. This day being a holiday at the Bank and Stock Exchange, brokers and jobbers have as sembled on the Royal Exchange to transact business, but to the present time not a bargain has been done, or is it expected that any transaction of consequence will take pl ice without the express from Paris bring information of nonsequence, which is not expected. Consols may be quoted at 82i-83, the price they left off at yesterday. ONE O'CLOCK. This has been the most barren day for intelligence and business in the funds we have had for months pa,t, and up to the present hour we do not hear of an express from Paris; consequently there cannot be any news of import ance in the French capital worth communicating. Up to this time not a bargain has been done on 'Change. In Consols and in Foreign Stock only 1,000 Belgian Stock has been done at 73. We are happy to state that the cholera is greatly abated in the city, as well as amongst the Hebrew.. Consols are nominally 82- 83 for the account. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of Grain this week are moderate, but of Flour the return was pretty good for this season of the year. The Wheat trade remains in a dull state, and except for superfine, which is taken off readily, other sorts meet with no attention. Barley, Beans, and Pease, unaltered. Oats that are fine and sweet support their terms, other sorts are tit4ll. Flour as our last. Wheat. English 4,752 qrs.

THE MARCHIONESS OF LONDONDERRy. At the Marquis of HERTFORD'S, on Tuesday, in the midst of the festivities, Lady LONDONDERRY was attacked by sudden indispositior. She was carried to a sofa by the Marquis, and subsequently conveyed to her carriage. Thi,, caused some interruption to the festive scene ; but it w as soon reported that nothing serious was to be apprehended, a report since happily confirtnel. Some days ago a whirlwind passed Upper Obney. It shook the town violently, and had it continued for two minut e s longer it was thought it wo uld have torn it up from the foundation.

GANIE.—We understand that grouse arc exceedin g ly abundant in the Perthshire Highlands this season, and also that black game and partridges are as nu merous as ever they were seen. As for hares, complaints are heard in every place from the fartn ,, rs of the destruc tion occasioned by them in the corn fields. Should the grouse escape those diseases that attack theta occasionally and carry them off in great numbers, sportsmen may cal culate on excellent sport. From their having met with no interruption during the season of incubation, the birds promise to be in fine condition by the 12th of August. and to leave fewer cheepers amongst them than has been the case for some years. It is a remarkable fact that, notwithstanding this abundance of birds, there has been more moor burning this season than there has been for a good number of years back ; a circumstance well deserv ing the consideration of both proprietor and tenant, as it has been more than suspected that plenty of heather will not always secure plenty of birds; but, on the contrary, that a regular rotation of moor-burning is as beneficial to the birds as it is to the sheep.—Perth Courier. THE LATE STORM.—The tremendous storm of Thursday se'nnight did much damage in its course over this county. Several windmills were struck and injured, particularly those of Mr. LIVING, of Chesterford, and Mr. WEBB, of Thaxted. At Audley End and Littlebury, great number of panes of glass were broken; large trees were blown down, and many acres of corn were laid. In Norfolk the eff ct was still more serious. In the neigh bourhood of Langley Park, a hurricane arose similar to that which a few months ago ray iged the grounds of Thorn don Hall, in this county. Scarcely a tree in Langley Park escaped un i n j ure d , many o f them being broken off within a few yards of the ground. The neighbouring village also suffered much. At Diss, a large barn was blown down ; and the rectory barn and two stacks of hay, at Palgrave, were fired by the lightning and destroyed. At North Walsham, a workshop, in the occupation of Mr. WILLIAM HEWITT, was set on fire. At Framlingham, nearly 1,400 panes of glass, in Mr. RIGBY'S green-house, were hr,,lien. At Th urgarton , a sow an d n i ne pigs were killed by lightning. At Lodden, the top of Mr. BREEZE'S j Mill was bl own off, and his apprent i ce an d a ourney man were killed.—Essex Herald. Last even i ng an i nquest was h e ld b e f ore M r . lIIGGs, at the C oac h an d H orses , i n Ch ar l es - s t ree t, Co vent-harden, upon the body of Mr. WILLIAM PRICE, late a chief cashier at the banking-house of Messrs COUTTS and Co., in the Strand. It appeared in evidence that the de ceased had been upwards of thirty years in the banking house, and was of a very eccentric character. Amongst the eccentricities related of him it was stated before the Jury that he was in the habit of giving money prowsely to women of th e town, on hi s way home at n i g ht. He was of a very pl et h or i c habit, ant i on Sunday e vening he went to bed, but i n a few hours called for ass i stance , and a sur geon cam e , b ut Mr. PRICE was qu i te d ea d. He had been cupped th e same day, an d h ad lost up wards of thirty ounces of blood. A nurse, who had attended him for some time, said she saw bins into bed " quite comfortable" on the night in question, and went into the room several times, thinking he was merely asleep ; but at length she discovered he was quite dead. A surgeon deposed that the deceased (lied of apoplexy, and the Jury returned a verdict of " Died by the visitation of God. EXETER ,%,1A Beef (5c0re)..,.—.....85.

DISTRESSING CASE—uNswonTit V. WOODCOCK. A middle aged female of very resretalsle appearance ;rod address, entered within the bar on the Lord Chancel lor taking his seat, and craved permission to l‘e heard fsr one moment. Stie said, that in Unsworth v. Wood en k, the Solicitor-General had a few days ago, on behalf oft or husband, applied to have the cause advanced on the groand that her husband was dying, and that unl,ss it c u 1 l be heard within a few days, in all human probe boiry he would have expired. His Lordship was so good on that occasion as to have assented to its being advanced, but no day had been fixed for the hearing of it, and there was now ao appearance of its coming on speedily. Her husband had been kept in the most painful state of litiga tion for the last seventeen years, and was now through the misconduct of solicitors in the cause, just expiring tkrough a broken heart. She herself had been attending daily for a very long t'me in Court, in the anxious hope of finding an opportunity to present her prayer to his Lordship, that be would be pleased to order the thing to be heard with oat further delay. The LOAD CHANCELLOR observed, that undoubtedly this lady's case seemed to be a very urgent and disrre•sing one, and one in which he would feel happy to afford every ass:stance in his power. Sir E. SUDDEN (who was the only King's C.unsel within the Bar at the moment) joined in his expression of egret that this lady should be a suitor in so hard r rase, Ind was perfectly satisfied that neither be nor any or his Learned Friends would impose the least obstacle in the way of his Lordship's hearing the case, but, on the con trary, would facilitate the hearing of it at the earliest , noment the Court might think proper to name. The LORD CHANCELLOR requested the lady to be good euoagh to attend in his private room at one o'clock, whtn, in all probability, an arrangement would he made (through his Secretary) for the immediate hearing and disposal of her cue.

ACT OF RESTITUTION.—The following singular letter, with its enclosure, has been received by Mr. FARR, of Doncaster : " Sra,—Enclosed you will receive a ten pounds Bank of England note, No. 17,776, dated London, 20th Feb.. 1832, and signed I. BUTLER ; being the amount moneys belonging to you, with interest thereon to the pre sent time. Seek not to indulge in idle curiosity, the wa tification of which could not possibly be productive of a good end ; but let the remembrance of this act of restitu tion ever live in your breast, influencing your future Ide and conduct. Thou, 0 Gon, has searched me throng;, and through. " July 2, 1832. " To Mir. ROUEAT FA tiR, Baxter-gate, Doncaster." SMITH V. NISI lIERSOLE. Judgment was postponed in this little motion, which stood i❑ the paper to be disposed of to-day, in cons--quer ce of the absence of the plaintiff's Counsel, his S.,licitor alleging that tbat Learned C unsel was very desirous of b• ing present when judgment was pronounced. The simple question here, we believe to be, whether , he plain tiff, being in contempt, can take any step in the cause itil after he has purged himself of such contempt. The LORD CHANclu.ots proceeded to hear the bank rupt petitions. There was a good deal of discussion last night on the subject of flegging soldiers. S r GEORGE :MURRAY was the chief advocate of flogging, which he con tended was indispensible to the discipline of the army. The tone of Sir GEORGE Was last night mid and selelm d. We could not help calling to mind a srech delivtrel by him several years ago, in a very different tone. Sir GEORGE then, in the true King Camhyses's vein, calltd oa the British soldiers, by the memory of their victoiies over the French, to resent the attempts of these who woul I thrust upon them the practices of their conquered foe. Ac cording to Sir GEORGE, in those high and p slmy do'. s, the distinction of being flogged was dear to the English sol dier. He trod the ground last night, and seem-d to think the soldiers might be induced to part with the privilege of being flagged, if the officers could preserve disci 9 line with out it. It does seem odd, that if men can be fund to do ill manner of disagreeable labour without flogging, means cannot be found to induce soldiers to discharge their duty without it. May not the knowledge that in the English army a man is liable to be treated like a beast, have the effect of preventing men who have any reseect for them selves from entering it, and thus the very punishment itself be the means of filling the army with men who have little command over themselves, and cannot be kept in order without flogging ? The army has become much more respectable than it used to be. May not this he in a good measure from flogging going into disuse ?—Morn. Chron. ARRIVAL OF VICE-ADMIRAL SIR PUL TENEY MALCOLM'S SQUADRON AT COVE —(Fr nn Cle Cork Reporter of Saturday.)—This manning the follow.. ing ships of war, under the command of Sir PULTENEY MALCOLM, entered our harbour, and came sal: ly to an chor; viz, the Donegal, 86, Captain FAtzsetAw ; the Jupiter, 50 ; the Castor, frigate ; Nimrod, 30, Lord EDWARD RUSSELL; Orestes, 20, Captain GLascoex. ; the 7'rinculo, Captain BOOTH ; the Messenger, steamer, of 200 horse power ; and Hanioaze, lighter. The Do negal, Castor, Nimrod, and Trinculo, left Plymouth Sound Wednesday night. The Orestes was ordered to wait the arrival of post, and sailed the foaming morning, and, though the squadron had the start of the Orestes by twelve hours, the latter overtook them about sixty miles south of our harbour, and was the first ship in port. There are three hundred marines embarked on board the squadron. The Jupiter has on board the 14th regiment, which is to embark at Cave in a day or two. Various rumours are afloat as to the object of this visit; but as nothing has transpired that would authorize us to state with certainty what it is, we abstain for the present front giving any opinion on the point. One thing appears certain, that the fleet will not speedily depart, as a temporary hospital has, we under stand, been ordered to be erected at Haulhowline, in ti ne , event of any of the men being attacked with cholera dur ing their stay. The hour at which our messenger reached town with this intelligence being too advanced to permit our making any further remarks on the subject, we can only say that Sir PULTENEY MALCOLM is welcome to our harbour, and that the longer be tarries with us the more gratifying will it be to our community. Major. General Sir GEORGE BINGHAM left town this morning to wait on the Admiral at Cove. BLEEDING USEFUL IN THE CIIOLERA._.. A gentleman in this neighbourhood last week received a letter from an officer in Ireland, stating that a man bring• ill of the cholera, a Captain in his regiment not be lieving the disease to be contagious, accompanied the Doctor, and was so much shocked with the appearance of he patient that he was himself attacked, and in a few hours appeared to be a in very dangerous state. Aconsul tation was held, and one of the medical gentlemen recom mended o m pua e lt d di e i bleeding,a no t te e :farsoionni but uenntt vd o t e h g e ,D r s d burr n c k i ge a r ta e l i be that c b m u l e e s e n s d i d o i e n n d g t he vessel, and almost immediately after the violent aymptonts abated, and he is now well.—Bury Herald. A great number of men are employed daily in Kensington-gardens, under the super intemlence of Mr. SICEDDEN, ploughing, and burning the turf, and preparing the ground for the lime and manure that it is to be dressed with, preparatory to its being sown with hay-sced, and planted with shrubs similar to Buckingham-gardens. Mr. SIIEDDEN has proposed to Government to make a sewer to take off the foul water from the neighbourhood of B iys water instead of emptying itself in the ornamental water in the Gardens. By this means the water would be at all times pure. In repairing the fishing temple which was built in the Gardens by GEORGE 11., they found are extensive vault underneath ; there was no other entraros to it but by taking up a stone in the ttior. They found in it two fishing rods, three chairs, a table, 6,4(1 two empty bottles. WATERFORD, JULY 19.—The treacherous disease is progressing with steady and fatal staps over all parts of the city ; and while we acknowledge it a deserved chastisement for our manifold offences, we trust that, merciful Providence will soon relieve us from its afflicting ravages. Already has its dire operati in produced a salu tary change in the lives of many of our bithsrto unr,flect ing friends and fellow-citizens.— Waterprd Chronicle. SECOND ARREST OF THE PROPRI7eTOrt OF THE TIPPERARY FREE PRRSS.—A high Tory print has affirmed that the pr.-ss woubt be incltl.ten in the ex traordinary prosecutions arising out of the ;„gitation of the question ot tithes in this country, and 54 would sees that the experiment is to he firer tried wean that portion of it hitherto ardently devoted to the support ot the measures of a Whig Government. H Ott Monday Mr. ACKETT was arrested for the second time within the short space of four days, under a warrant from the Chief Po;i ; ,, Offi, e , in Dublin, signed FREDERICK DAaLEY, and compdled to enter into recognizancts in the sum of 4001. to appe a for trial at the next Dublin Comrn , ssion. The public will not be a little astonished to learn that the charge in this war rant against Mr. Ilacicrrx was fir publishing, on the 13th of June last, in the Free Press, an advertisement of the Clonmel Independent Club, respecting tithes and other church exactions, duly authenticated by the names of the Chairman and Secretary of that body; and which, if ne cessary, would readily receive the signatures of the seve ral hundred members of the Club, by whom it was passed unanimously.— Tipperary Free Press.
