VINCENT'S GOWLAND'S LO TION is the most delighful, pleasant, and effec tual remedy for the removal of all Eruptions from the Face and Skin, and improving the most delicate com plexion. It is adopted, continued, and recommended to be used by most ladies of fashion ; it acts by gently and kindly opening, the pores of the skin, extracting and dul cifying the morbid virus lurking in it. The most delicate lady or child may at all times use it with the greatest safety. It stands as a discovery without its equal ; it is powerfully efficacious in rendering the skin delightfully cool and re freshing: nothing was ever invented equal to its effects and excellence. Mrs. Vincent is continually receiving tributes of applause from the most exalted ranks in Europe. Sold by Sangur, 150, Oxford-street ; Newberys, 45, and Edwards, 67, St. Paul's ; Butler, 4, Cheapside ; Barclays, 95, Farringdon-street ; Sutton, Bow Church ; Savory and Moore, 136, New Bond-street, and 220, Regent -street ; and all the most respectable Perfumers and Dealers in Genuine Medicines in Europe, in Quarts, price Ss. 6d. ; Pints, 55. 6d. ; Half-pints, 2s. 9d. *,„," To prevent the numerous Counterfeits, see M.

CFIING'S WORM LOZENGES. —Th e Proprietor respectfully informs the Public, that he has appointed Mr. EDWARDS, 67, St. Paul's Church yard, sole Agent for the sale of CHING'S WORM LO. ZENGES, and that each box and packet will for the fu ture have engra4ed on the Government Stamp, " EvAti EDWARDS, 67, St. Paul's," instead of " Charles But ler, Cheapside," as heretofore, without which none can possibly be genuine. Worms are the most frequent causes of the disease of children ; the symptoms usually are loss of appetite, a paleness of colour of the face, ema ciated and irregular state of the bowels, attend,' with violent pain. They bring on Convulsions ; they affect the growth of the body; and they prove fatal by ending in a consumption or decay. As a preventive and cure of these alarming complaints, the above excellent medicine is uni versally allowed, on the testimony of the highest characters in this country in rank and respectability, to have no equ 11. Parents and others who have the care of children, should have this remedy as a family medicine to resort to, whenever the stomach or bowels of Children are any way disordered, which it will be always found to relieve.

I id. CAUTION. THE PUBLIC is earnestly warned against numerous IMITATIONS of DOCTOR SOLO MON'S CORDIAL BALM OF GILEAD, put forth by several unprincipled Individuals to ensnare and deceive. The great reputation so long enjoyed by this excellent me dicine for the cure of Indigestion, Nervous Complaints, Declines, and Diseases induced by Excessive Indulgencies, and the great demand for it, have tempted the worthless and unprincipled to this nefarious practice, by which mangy• invalids have been irreparably injured. These imi tations extend not only to the Name of this medicine, but to the Advertisements, Wrappers on the bottles, and every distinguishing mark except that which would involve the life of the depredator, namely, the words " SAMUEL SOLOMON, Liverpool," engraved on the Government Stamp affixed to each Bottle, to imitate which is felony, and punishable as such. To this distinguishing mark the public attention is particularly directed, without which no " CORDIAL BALM" whatever has any claim to the me rits of Dr. Solomon's invention. _ __-....

THE HAGUE, SEPT. 30.—The Marquis of Dalmatia, Ambassador of France to our Court, set out on Saturday evening for Paris, on leave of absence. The Marquis d'Eyratigues will act as Charge d'Affairs during his absence. The magistrates of Nimeguen have announced that, the cholera baying ceased in that city, the communication with Prussia, which has been interrupted ever since the 22d of August, will be opened again on the 30th of Sep tember ; and, consequently, persons going beyond the frontiers will only have to provide themselves with certi ficates of health after stopping a few days at Nimeguen. It is expected that the present session of the States-Ge neral will be closed on the 13th of October, as the new session, for which preparations are already making, will be opened on the 15th of that month. The Princess of Orange has been pleased to send to the Governor of Groningen the sum of 1,000 florins, fur the relief of cholera patients in the city of Groningen. AMSTERDAM, SEPT. 30 .-There remain now 65 cho lera patients, The number is daily decreasing. VIENNA, Seer. 18.—We expect Count Pozzo di Borgo to-day. He will stop a few days, and then return to Paris. It is supposed that he comes to consult with our Ministry on the measures to he taken to preserve peace in Europe. It has been reported on 'Change that Lord Durham will also come to Vienna, and it is imagined that his Lordship's visit is in consequence of the unpleasant events in the East, and the critical situation of the Turkish empire, from the successes of Ibrahim Paella ; so that the European Powers can no longer remain indifferent specta tors, but must think of means to put an end to this war, and to prevent the overthrow of the Turkish empire. SEPT. 30.—The Handelsblad quotes from the French and English journals the statement relative to the pro posed measures of coercion against Holland, but doubts whether such measures have really been determined upon, and especially whether they will be carried into effect without previous notice from the Conference to Holland, which has not yet been given ; but should Holland be attacked, in a manner resembling the barbarity of former ages, it will, as the injury becomes greater, and if its own strength is unavailable, rely with tiim confidence on Him who has always delivered it in time of danger.

King of Westphalia, now known by the name of Count de Montfort, who is brotber-in-law to our King, has purchased a very handsome house here, which is not quite finished, and will come with his family next year to reside in it. There is great doubt of the truth of this report. ID the room of the late Counsellor of State, Von Herzog, M. Von Heerdegen, Counsellor of State, is to he at the Board of the Finance Department. M. Lobbauer has not yet appeared to the summons of the Criminal Court ; the license to edite the HoeWachter is withdrawn from him, and given to M. Moser.

The chid* witness, on his examination, detailed the leading incidents—hi s being awakened by cries for help—his rising, striking a light, opening his door, and finding a man dead upon his threshold. " And what did you do next, my friend ?" interrogated the Crown Lawyer. " Why," replied the witness, with amazing sang froid, " I called out—are any of ye there that kilt the boy ? By the powers, I'll give a thirteen to him who'll tell me who it was that had the impudence to murder a tna❑ at my door."— Wild Sports in the West. INCENDIARISM.—We regret extremely to learn that this frightful and alarming crime has again dis played itself in the eastern division of Kent. Within about a month, two fires have taken place upon the es tates of the Earl of WINCHELSEA, and although consider able rewards were offered, no discoveries have yet been made. On Saturday night last, about twelve o'clock, the stack yard of Mr. FINCH, a considerable farmer, and one of the parish officers, residing at Chartham, within four miles of Canterbury, was discovered to be in flames, and although the engines were instantly despatched from the city, they could not prevent the destruction of two large ricks of peas and cinquefoin. At the time the fire was discovered Mr. FINCH was regaling his labourers with the annual feast of the harvest home. At present suspicion does not alight upon any one in particular. We are con cerned to add, that another large fire took place on Sunday night, at the village of Howe, in the vicinity of Rochester, but our informant could not obtain the full particulars, beyond the knowledge that the damage was very consi derable. A threatening letter from " Swing" has also been received by JOHN BELL, Esq. the King's Counsel, who resides in the vicinity of Clanterbury. Yesterday, at 5 o'clock, the members, to tho number of between 300 and 400, of this Ancient and Honourable Troop, dined together at White Conduit House, to cele brate the passing of the Reform measure, and also in com memoration of their dining with the Lord Mayor last year, at the Mansion-house. Yesterday was the anniversary of the day they paid their visit to the Mansion-house. Mr. CHARLES, Colonel of the Ancient and Honourable Troop, took the Chair. Joseph Napoleon was expected, but did not honour the dinner with his presence. Amongst the company were the Lord Mayor, Mr. Hume, Mr. Tennyson, Mr. l3yng, Mr. Alderman Kelly, Mr. Grote, Mr. Wooler, Major Revell, Mr. Alderman Scales, and Mr. Richard Taylor. After the health of the King, the Duke of Sussex and the Royal Family, and the Lumber Troop, were drunk, Mr. GROTE (the banker and candidate for the city of London) proposed the next toast—." The People, the only source of legitimate power."—(Applause.) The toast was more peculiarly gratifying at the present mo ment, for, after the recent exertions, the magnificent exer tions, of the people in the great cause, they stood higher than ever in his estimation. They had taken the first battery, but the fortress of corrupt:on yet remained ; and he exhorted them not to cease their exertions till it was levelled with the earth.—(Loud cheers.) The toast was then drunk with loud applause. Mr. Heats, who was received with applause, proposed as the next toast, " The National Reform Bills, and may they prove efficacious in every respect for the whole of the British Empire." It was true, the Reform Bill had errors and imperfections, but he asked them to look at those errors with a lenient eye, to accept its advantages, and to consider it as a door to further improvement. It was impossible to remove the abuses which existed with out such a change in the system of Government— (Cheers.) Let not those who were unrepresented despair. He went further than many of his reforming friends. He thought taxation without representation was tyranny.— (Cheers.) Every man who paid taxes to the support of the State, either directly or indirectly, or who was liable to serve in the militis, was entitled to a voice in the choice of his legislators. The people would DOW have it in their own power to beat down all abuses—let him hereafter not hear any man complain of the existence of any oppressive tax, for if such a tax existed the people would be alone to blame.—(Cheers.) He conjured them to use all their energies at the ensuing election to return honest and .ffi cient representatives. The benefits which he anticipated from the Reform Bill were a reduction, on a large scale, of the expenses of the Government; a different allocation of the public burthens; a reduction in the army and navy; and an abolition of sinecures and pensions. But they would never succeed in accomplishing these objects unless they sent to the next Parliament men who would consult the interests of the community in preference to their own selfish interests. The Hon. Gentleman then expressed his conviction of the necessity of the Ballot.--(Loud cheers.) It was a necessary protection against the dangerous and improper interference of those below as well as of those above.—( Hear, hear ) He hoped the next Parliament would take care that their successors should not have a seven years' sitting.—(Cheers.) At the same time, he thought that the duration of Parliament ought not to be confined to a shorter period than three years.—(Cheers.) The toast was drunk with the greatest applause. Mr. BYNG, M.P., rose to propose " the Health of the Chief Magistrate of the greatest city in the Empire." Ile confidently hoped and trusted the generous arid liberal ci tizens of London would never forget the great and import ant services which the present Lord Mayor had rendered to the cause of Reform, not only in the metropolis, but all through the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. —(Loud and unanimous cheering, which lasted sevehl minutes.) The toast having been drunk with enthusiastic applause, The LORD MAYOR-Colonel, Officers, and Comrades— the time is fast approaching when I shall retire from that high office the suffrages of my fellow-citizens had conferred upon me. I know I have given offence to several persons for having made that high office a political one; but in stead of feeling regret for having done so, I glory in it, and have done no more than follow the example of some of the worthiest of my predecessors. I have made it a po litical office, but then it was done in order to benefit the people and the cause of liberty.—(Tremendous applause.) I feel that I have not done wrong.—(Cries of No, no, no, by no means !") I have said that I was about to retire from office, the duties of which I have performed con scientiously ; but now, through the kindness and encour • agement of my fellow-citizens, I aspire to serve them in another and a better office.—(Cheers.) The office I al lude to is that of being the representative of my fellow citizens in Parliament.—(Cheers.) It was not my inten tion to explain myself distinctly as to m} political opinions ; but having been called upon by your Colonel and Chair man, Ido not hesitate to explain what are those senti ments. I think it absolutely indispensable that a represen tative of the people should possess independent principles and an irreproachable private character. I state this, because at a small meeting of you an individual had thought proper to attack, in no measured terms, my private cha racter. If that individual be now present, I call upon him to stand forward, and publicly, before this numerous and respectable meeting, to accuse any act of my private or public life. Gentlemen, there is no action of any part of my career that—and I have taxed my memory repeatedly thereupon—l am in the slightest .;ay ashamed of, and which I ant not prepare d to act over again, and to appeal to your judgment whether such action be right or wrong.—(lmmense cheering.) The individual who has thought proper to attack me, is Mr. Roberts, of Farringdon-street ; and if he be here, let him now step forward, for I am prepared to justify myself be fore this public tribunal. If he be not here, some friend of his must be ; then let that friend tell Mr. Roberts of what has now fallen from me ; for upon every occasion I shall be found unshrinking from the challenge I now put forward.—(Cheers.) I shall now speak of my political sentiments. In whatsoever situation I may happen to be placed, I shall prove myself what I have always been—a staunch and consistent Reformer. In many things besides Parliament, Reform is necessary ; but in that respect it is a great means to a desirable end. I think the strictest economy should be studied in the civil and military depart menu,. I shall support every proper and efficient measure for ieforming Church abuses.---(Great cheer,.) I sin aware, that by this last declaration, I shall be accused, as many others have been who have mad e s i m il ar d ec l arat i ons, of being an enemy to the Church. I ant no such thing ; I am one of its most prudent supporters ; for I deem the only way of upholding it the speedy remedying of its abuses.—(Cheers.) I shall support every measure that tends to the abolition of the tithe laws. lam decidedly partial to the shortening of the duration of Parliament. I shall think it my most imperative duty to use every effort of my physical and mental ;acuities to bring about the abo lition of all taxes on knowledge.—(Cheers). I shall always vote for the abolition of the assessed taxes, and all those imposts that press heavily on the industrious and poorer classes.--(Great cheering.) I shall also think it my duty to support civil and religious liberty ; and I am the most uncompromising enemy of slavery, no matter what may be the guise it assume. 1 am not aware that I have left any great principle un touched.—(Here somebody cried out " the ballot !") I beg most explicitly to declare, that I am, without hesitation, favourable to the ballot. These are my decided princi ples ; and if the choice of my fellow citizens shall hap pily fall upon me as their representative in the next Par liament, I shall use all toy time, and the best of my abilities, that they may be put in practice.—(The meet ing then rose en mousse, and for at least ten minutes ap plauded the Honourable Magistrate alter he sat down.) The CHAIRMAN, and Colonel of the Troop, rose and proposed " Success to the election of the present Lord Mayor."—The toast was drunk with nine times nine. The waving of hats and handkerchiefs lasted again several minutes. Lieutenant-Colonel BARRETT then read the following letter from his Excellency Joseph Bonaparte : " The Count de Survelliers (Joseph Bonaparte) regrets very much that the news he has just received from Italy (the death of his mother) should be of such a nature as to prevent Ins be ing present at the Public feast, to which the kindness of the Committee had invit e d h i m. He therefore begs to tender to each of its members his sincere thanks, apologies, and most dis. anguished consideration." The letter was addressed to the Lord Mayor, as Chief Magistrate of London. Mr. BARRETT proposed " The Health of the Brother of NApoleon ," but there were so many dissentients, that he was obliged to withdraw his proposal. Mr. Alderman KELLY proposed "the health of the pa triotic Members of both Houses of Parliament who bad supported the Reform Bills."—The toot was drunk with the usual honours. Mr. TENNYSON returned thanks in behalf of his Hon. Colleagues, and considered associations like that of the Lumber Troop, of the greatest use in promoting and keeping alive public opinion. Such associations in the darker times of their history—and in their memory there had been dark times—had done much to invigorate pubrc opinion, and that opinion had been productive of much public good, and would still be productive of greater. Public opinion would vet do more than it ever bad done. What it had done produced a beneficial issue; and if it continued to be properly guided and directed, it would not Stop short until it obtained equal laws for society at large, and would always speak so boldly to oppressive Govern. ments, that they would be obliged to listen to, and even to obey, its voice. It was pretty generally known that he was one of the candidates for the new Borough of Lam beth. He had been told that the electors of that Borough were downright radicals ; however, he had at several late meetings appeared amongst them, and satisfied them as to his opinions, (at least so he flattered him self') upon every essential point.—(Hear, hear.) — There was one point upon which he would challenge any men ; had any of the actual candidates for the metropo litan districts said one word that tended to destroy the ancient constitution of the country ? Certainly, he and many more candidates advocated vote by ballot ; but yet their ultimate wish was nothing more than to improve and amend the laws as they now stood. That was their feeling—their sole motive ; consequently it was they who deserved the name of " Conservatives," and not those who so unjustly arrogated to themselves that title. He trusted he would not be found second to the two Hon. Members now present in forwarding the true interests of the people, however he may differ from them on some points. The LORD MAYOR proposed the next toast, which was —" The New Constituency, and may their representatives in Parliament support their rights and redress their wrongs."—The toast was cordially drunk. Mr. WILLIAMS rose to propose—" Civil and Religious Liberty throughout the world ;" and said religious liberty, in his opinion, meant that each and every one should be free to profess after his own fashion the creed he thought best, and should not be forced to support the teachers of any other religious doctrines than those he professed.— (Cheers.) The toast was drunk unanimously. Mr. HILL proposed " The Press, the true palladium of liberty," and said, that on a late occasion:when the coun try was placed in the most doubtful state of crisis, the Press was the trumpet that sounded them :on to battle, and never ceased its spirit-stirring notes until the battle was won. When the partisans of liberty were assailed upo❑ all sides, and stigmatised as the friends of anarchy and rebellion,—who repelled the foul calumny ?—who de fended them, and proved that they were the friends of li berty, and consequently of order ?—The Press. If there were anybody i❑ that room connected with the Press, he took upon himself, in the name of the Chairman and Stewards, to return him the thanks of the assembly. The strongest tyranny must inevitably crumble down before that mighty engine; and the most securely-fenced des potism could not withstand its missiles if they were launched forth freely and without control. The im mense criminality of savage Russia would fall before the power of one little printing-press, it it could be esta blished freely amid its enslaved wastes. The toast was drunk most enthusiastically. The health of the Ancient and Honourable Lumber Troop—that of the Stewards who had conducted the dinner that day—anti, lastly, that of the Ladies, was then drunk, after which the company left the room. As we were leaving, we met several ladies attired in ball costume, entering the gardens, where, no doubt, many of the Ho nourable Troop were awaiting them, to lead them gal lantly through the mazes of the dance.

At a General Court-Martial, held at Halifax, Nova Scotia, on the 6th June, 1832, and continued by adjourn ments to the 18th of the same month, Quartermaster John Murchison, of the 96th Regiment, was arraigned upon the under-mentioned charges, viz. : For conduct unbecoming the character of an officer and a gentleman, in the following instances, viz. : First Charge—" In having in the month of August or September, 1830, made a false statement to Major C.tirn cross, his then Commanding Officer, that be had sold to Mr. William Allan, merchant, in Halifax, four hundred old great coats belonging to the regiment, at the rate of 3s. each, or 601. Halifax currency, when he had actually sold them to Mr. W. Allan at the time for 3s. 6d., or 701. Halifax currency." Seeond•Charge.—" In having in the month of Septem ber, IMO, or soon after, fraudulently or intentionally withheld, and still withholding, from the Great Coat Fund of the Regiment, credit for the sum of 101., Halifax cur rency, or thereabouts, in a public transaction or sale of great coats to Mr. William Allan, of Halifax, from whom he received credit in a running account for the sum of 701., Halifax currency, or thereabouts, for four hundred old great coats of the Regiment, and accounting for, or giving credit to, the Great Coat Fund of the Regiment for the sum tit 601., Halifax currency, only or thereabouts, at the same time, or soon after, reporting to Major Cairncross, his then Commanding Officer, that he had made the best bargain he could in giving them to Mr. Allan for 3s. each, or 601., Halifax currency, although he knowingly received, then or afterwards, credit in his running account with Mr. Allan, or money, at the rate of Ss. 6d. each great coat, or 701., Halifax currency, for the four hundred old great coats of the regiment sold as above mentioned." Third Charge.—" In having in various instances, and at different periods, during the years 1829, 1830, and 1831, charged the several companies of the regiment for glass broken in the barrack rooms occupied by the regi ment, at the rate of I Id. sterling for each pane of glass re paired and put in by Mr. William Merrick, painter and glazier in the town of Halifax, whom he employed for the purpose, he, the said Quartermaster John Murchison, having entered into an agreement or contract with the said Mr. William Merrick to repair or put in the glass broken by the regiment at the rate of 10d. currency, or Bd. sterling, he, the said Quartermaster John Murchison, thereby making a profit or per-centage of 3d. sterling, or thereabouts, on every pane of glass repaired or put in as aforsaid, and in this way defrauding the soldiers of the re giment of a considerable sum during the years before mentioned ; the whole of such conduct being highly in jurious to his Majesty's service, and subversive of good order end military discipline." . . . Upon which charges the Court came to the following decision : " The Court having duly considered the whole of the evidence on both sides, upo❑ its minutes, together with what the prisoner, Quartermaster John Murchison, has , tated in his defence, is of opinion as follows : " That with respect to the First Charge he is Guilty thereof." " That with respect to the Second Charge he is Guilty thereof." " That with respect to the Third Charge he is Guilty thereof." " The Court having thus found the prisoner guilty upon the whole of the foregoing charges, which involve conduct unbecoming the character of an officer and a gentleman, the Court does, therefore, sentence the aforesaid prisoner, Quartermaster John Murchison, 96th Regiment, to he dis missed his Majesty's service, and to make good at his own expense the amount of ten pounds, Halifax currency, as stated in the second charge to have been withheld by him ; and likewise to make good, at his own expense, the sum of seven pounds twelve shillings and twopence three far things sterling, that sum having been ascertained, by evi dence, to be the overcharge made at the exchange of twenty-four shillings Halifax currency for the pound ster ling upon six hundred and eighty-five panes of glass, sup plied to the 96th Regiment, during the years 1829, 1830, and 1831 ; both the ahovementioned sums to be recovered in the manner pointed out by the provisions of the Mu tiny Act.' His Majesty has been pleased to approve and confirm the finding and sentence of the Court. In consideration, however, of the recommendation of the Court, which accompanied the proceedings, his Majesty has been further pleased to extend his most gracious par don to the prisoner, and to command that he be reinstated in his rank for the purpose of receiving a commutation for his commission. The General Commanding in Chief directs that the foregoing charges prefers ed against Quartermaster John Murchison, of the 96th Regiment, together with the find ing and sentence of the Court,and his Majesty's commands NOTES ON THE ARMY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. (From the United Service Journal for October.) The peace establishment of the United States is composed of 4 regiments of artillery and 7 regiments of infantry, and, with staff officers, amounts to about 6,000 men. Each regiment of artillery consists of 9 companies, one of which is equipped as light artillery. A company is offi cered by a captain, 4 subalterns, and S non commissioned, with 3 artificers, 2 musicians, and 42 privates. A com pany of infantry consists of a captain, 2 subalterns, and 7 :ion-commissioned, 2 musicians, and 42 privates. And to each regiment of artillery and infantry there are 1 colonel, I lieutenant-colonel, 1 major, an adjutant, serjeant-major, end quarter-master-serjeant. The corps of Military and Topographical Encineers are not attached to the ordnance department, which is merged ;n the artillery. Tire ordnance service in the States con sists merely of 30 officers of artillery, selected to command the different depots of arms and arsenals of the Union, with 10 superintendants of arm ries and store-keepers. Mtjor-General Alexander ! Macomb commands the army at present; and he is allowed 2 aides-decamp. Besides him there are 2 brigadier-generals, u ach with 1 aide-de camp; and these aides, taken from the subalterns of the line, besides their other dutes, perform those of assistant adjutants-general. TWO inspectors-general annually visit ~ he posts of the army: their duty is very severe, when ono considers the extent of territory they have to traverse. ['here are also an adjutant and quarter-master-genera!, 2 quarter-masters, and 10 assistant quartermasters. The Subsistence Department consists of I commissary qeneral and 50 assistant commissaries, taken from the -übalterns of the line, with extra pay. There are also 1 paymaster-general and 14 paymasters, anti 1 surgeon general, 8 surgeons, and 45 assistant surgeons. It is an extraordinary fact, but not the less true, that nearly one half of the non commissioned and privates of the American army deserts every year. All free white males between the ages of 18 and 35 may be enlisted ; 5 fret 6 inches is the standard height, and 12 dollars is tire bounty money. According to the spirit of the institutions of the country, all enlistments shall be " voluntary"—that is to say, 24 hours must elapse between the recruit's ex pressing his wish to enli,t and his subscribing the oath ind receiving the bounty; and though the period of service is only five years, yet few remain to complete it. The great extent of territory in the States, with a scanty population, causes wages to be high, and provisions are cheap. Generally speaking, then, the most worthless characters enter the army, which consists of a melange of English deserters, Dutch, French, Americans, 8:c. Five dollars is the monthly pay of a private, and many labour ers in the States earn a dollar per day; so that it is obvious there is no great inducement to belong to an army which is held in no estimation by the citizens generally, and has uo pension list or asylum for disabled soldiers. General Macomb approves highly of the ❑ew regulation double-breasted coatee of the British service, with epau lettes for all rank, and means to adopt it next year; though the citizens think that it is too gaudy for Republi cans; however, as it is, they are obliged to tempt the Ricers by high pay to remain in the service— a captain receiving 3101. per annum; the British, 1801. So that a handsome uniform will be an additional inducement to remain in the service. The American arsenals are very neatly kept, and with very small means; and the superintendants deserve g eat credit for the order in which they keep their arms, with few assistants allowed them by Government. Their can non are all copied from the British. An American Let is well fabricated, and costs 12 dollars. A new rifle I has been introduced this year, called Hall's patent ; it loads at the breach, which is elevated for this purpose by touch ing a spring, when a flask with a double head, one con ' aining powder, the other a magazine of balls, loads it expeditiously, It might be worth while to experiment with this rifle, as it saves the tedious operation of loading with the ramrod ; and with a percussion lock, and a light rest in lieu of a ramrod, would (it is suggested) be an im proved weapon for the British rifle corps. Cadets remain at the Military Academy four years ; when admitted at fourteen years of age, they are examined in English reading, writing, and arithmetic only; but after six months there is a severe mathematical examina tion, which many are unable to pass. As at the Royal thlitary College, there are half-yearly examinations at West Point ; but these are so strict, and the course in t;eneral so severe, that half of those who enter the College are obliged to leave after the first examinations. There is it remarkable difference between the cadets of the Northern and Southern States; the former are generally studious and industrious ; the latter, brought up among slaves, are idle and inattentive, so that they are almost all dismissed ; consequently, the Academy is not " in good odour" with the planters, for they imagine that favouritism prevails, and that the dismissals are not impartial. • DIRECTIONS FOR FINDING THE COMET.- Any person desirous of finding the cornet, should look out it:mut 10 o'clock, with a good achromatic telescope, of a power not less than 100. The best rule for finding the exact place of the comet will be first to get the star r i Aurigce, and then joining this star with Gerninarizon, the comet will appear somewhere in that line ; but, as every evening causes a change of place, if the astronomer is desirous to snake a selies of observations, he must pur sue it in the reverse order of the signs, its tight ascension being less every succeeding day. It has already been oh s.?rved at Springfield, at Borebam, and in the neighbour. hood of Tophana.—Essex Herald. On the 17th ult. the great bell of St. Paul's Church, at Warsaw, fell down, and in its descent broke through the roof of the church, and did considerable damage. Fortunately no one was hurt. NEW WORK BY THE AUTHOR OF " HAJ.J/ BABA. " -Mr. Mourtit's Persian Romance (Zobrab the Hostage) is running a race of popularity as great as that of Mr. Hors's " Anastasius." The character of the Shah, AGA MokrAmEn, notwithstanding his monstrous cruelty, ors almost infallible wisdom, and the daring of his military exploits, is true to history, as may be seen l , y re ference to Sir JoHN MALcoLm's work on Persia ; and equally true are the sketches of the Prince FATTEII the Vizier HAJJI IBRAHIM, and tke slave SADICEK, how ever excessively they may seem at first to draw on the reader's credulity. All who know the powers of the author, and are aware of his perfect familiarity with Eastern localities and manners, will feel secure that his .:ramatic inventions are distinguished by perfect verisimi litude. GIPSIES.—In the commencement of tho Hith century King JAMES IV. of Scotland grateed a pass and recommendation to the King of DENMARK, in favour of the tribe of ANTHONY GA.witis, an Earl from Little Egypt. He specifies that this miserable train had visited Scotland by command of the POPE, and having conducted themselves properly, they wished to go to Denmark. He, therefore, solicited the extension of his Ro)al uncle's mu nificence towards them ; adding, at the same time, that these wandering Egyptians must be better known to him, because the kingdom of Denmark was nearer to Egypt ! A curious circumstance occurred at Bristol last week. A brute of an Irishman aimed a blow at his vile with a pair of shears called clippers ; the blow took ffect upon the forehead of an infant which the woman held in her arms, and inflicted so dreadful a wound that part Hof the brain actually escaped from it. The mild was aken to the hospital, where an operation was performed; ►nd the surgeon having bandaged th►e wound, the child was iilaced in the arms of the mother, when it a, tual ) took to h►e breast and sucked away as it nothing had happened. Ile mother continues to suckle it, and, if infhiimation hoes not ensue, there is every ICAO= tQ believe that tbt child will recover.
