The Sun. — London, England, 1832-08-11 00:00:00

LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 11, 1832. The House of Commons meets to-day to dis pose of these three Bills, which are at their last stages, to wit, the Chancery Sinecures Bill, the Stage Coach Duties Bill, and the West In dia Islands Relief Bill. It will then adjourn to Wednesday, to give the Lords time to fetch up the arrears of business, and the prorogation will take place on Thursday. From what fell from the Marquis of LANS DOWNE and the Bishop of LONDON last night, authors and publishers may regard as certain a material alteration, if not the total abolition, of what was denominated by both these Peers an unequal and onerous tax on copyright. The tax is unfair in principle, and still more so in its operation, for while one author may have to pay a tax of only 101., the authors of such works as " Pine's Horace," or " Stewart's Athens," for instance, may have to pay 5001. The con sequence of which is, that some valuable works are suppressed altogether, or raised to such a price as to place them within the reach of few. This is one good effect of the contract which the Aberdeen Professors have made, and we wish th em j o y of their bargain. The Clitheroe riots were last night brought before the House of Commons. Mr. IRVING in some degree vindicated his conduct on that occasion, yet still left himself open to the charge of having acted with extreme indiscretion in returning to a town where his presence was th e main, indeed the only, cause of tumult. Had he kept away after the first as sault, as we believe was his original intention, all would have been well, and there would have bee n no broken heads in Clitheroe ; but, we sup pose, he had a rage for " lionizing" even at the expense of the limbs and lives of his fellow citizens. As re gar d s hi s attac k on D r. BONVRING, It was in the true Pharisaic spirit of Ultra- Toryism. The Honourable Member congratu lated himself that he was neither a deist, nor an atheist, nor a trafficker in revolutions, imply ing, of course, that the Doctor was all three. This comes of a Reformer opposing an Anti. Dr. BOWRING might have been the most desperate infidel that ever existed, and trafficked in revolutions till he had becom e as rich as Craesus or Mr. IRVING himself; he might have been all this, and as much more a s he pleased, provided he had never opposed the Hon. Gentleman's pretensions to Clitheroe; but his having done so makes all the difference ; this is the crowning sin, this the crime of such sur passing magnitude, that it embraces in the wide circumference of its iniquity, atheism, deism, and a contraband trading in revolutions. Fortunately Dr. BOWRING can afford to laugh at all this vindictive absurdity. Mr. IRvING's abuse can do him no more injury than Mr. IRVING'S praise. In fact, we suspect he would prefer the lion. Gentleman's censure to his eulogium. - - .-.....0.,...... We find the following in the Times of this morning The papers respecting SOMER VILLE s case were presented by Sir J. C. HOB HOUSE, at two o ' clock on Friday morning, just as the House was about to adjourn. They were ordered to be printed on the motion of Mr. HUME. That motion was immediately adopted, so that there was no opportunity for Members to get any knowledge of the contents of the papers, as they were immediately forwarded to the prin ter's, in compliance with the orders of the House. Had not this course been pursued, they would have remained on the table, and any Members could have had access to them to peruse them, but not to copy them. The exact terms of the Court of Inquiry's decision are not known beyond the official circles, but the result of it may be positively stated, namely, that it censures, and severely, or rather de cidedly, the conduct of Major WYNDHAM to wards private SOMERVILLE. The result of his MAJESTY'S opinion thereupon is, that his MAJESTY deeply deplores that an officer of such long standing and experience as Major WYNDHAM, should so far have forgotten him -self as to behave towards private SOMERVILLE in the way proved before the Court of inquiry, and to have warranted the decision of the Court upon the case ; at the same time, his MAJESTY feels it due to justice anti to Major WYNDHAM to state, that nothing transpired in the course of the inquiry to affect the character and honour of i‘lajor WYNDHAM." Presuming this state ment to be correct, it is one of the most extraordinary results of a Court of Inquiry we ever heard of. It is not merely perplexing, it is unintelligible. By it, Major W YNDIIAM stands both acquitted and convicted. He is guilty, yet not guilty. He stands acquitted of having done any thing to affect his " character and honour," yet convicted of having so far "forgotten himself" (notwithstanding he was an officer of " long standing and experience") as to call forth an ex pression of deep regret from his MAJESTY. In other words, it appears that he has subjected SOMERVILLE to a most disproportionate pun ishment—so disproportionate, indeed, as to amount to an act of the grossest tyranny, yet, nevertheless, has done nothing to affect his " character and honour." How does Sir J HosHousE propose to reconcile this inconsis tency ? It will be curious to hear his reasoning on this point. The clause in the Anatomy Bill, ordering the bodies of murderers to be hung in chains, is one of so offensive a nature that it cannot long be put in force. We doubt much the effect that the authors of the measure expected from its operation—at all events it falls far short of the former enactment, as it is well known that dissection had been looked to by some criminals with more dread than even death itself. But even admitting its full effect, then there are so many objections to it in another point of view, that the present assizes will probably be the first and the last of its operation. Wherever a gibbet is erected (except on some wild unfre quented heath, and then it can have no effect) the value of household property is reduced one half. Indeed not one in ten would live in a place where such a spectacle could be seen from the windows, or where there might be a risk of coming in view of it in ex cursions in the neighbourhood. And sup posing the law to be put in force for a num ber of years, there would hardly be a dis trict in England without a gibbetted murderer, which, instead of acting as a check on the living, tends rather to harden the wicked, and to blunt the feelings of persons of every description. It is well known that frequent executions diminish the terror of death, and it is no less true that the more frequent such exhibitions as those alluded to should become throughout the country, their effect on the inhabitants would be proportionally lessened. In Italy it is no uncommon thing to see half a score of human beings exposed about the gates of a city, and the legs and arms of mur derers suspended from poles by the road side. Still more appalling scenes are displayed at Con stantinople ; but the frequency of atrocious crimes there, shows that if such examples have any effect at all, it is an effect decidedly unfa vourable to humanity. The people of this country, with a natural abhorrence of such exhi bitions, have not unfrequently removed them of their own accord ; and the clause in the Bill, making such conduct a transportable offence, will not be sufficient to deter them from abating what they consider not only a nuisance, but a needless deterioration of property. A private express was received this morning in the City from Paris, bringing the papers of Thursday, and the M'essager des Chambres dated yesterday. They are principally filled with the festivities at Compiegne, to celebrate the nuptials of King LEOPOLD and Princess LOUISE, which took place on the 9th inst., in presence of King Lours PHILIPPE, the Duke of Ox• LEANS, Mad. ADELAIDE, and a numerous as sembly. The happy couple were to have left for Brussels on the 10th, where they are expected to make their grand entry on the 12th. The KING and his suite are expected iH Paris on the same day. The Miguelists and Carlists have been circulating in Paris the total defeat of Don PEDRO from Oporto, and that he had been obliged to re-embark the whole of his army. This intelligence is given on the authority o f letters from Spain, and the arrival o f the Marquis of LOULE in Paris from Oporto with despatches for the French Government. Every intrigue is resorted to by them to discou rage the partisans of the QUEEN, but without effect. The Marquis of LOULE is the brother in-law of Don PEDRO, consequently uncle to Queen Donna MARIA, and as the Marchioness (who has lately been confined) is in Paris, he was considered the fittest person to se►►d, as he could explain the state of affairs more fully. The last accounts received in Paris from Oporto are up to the 3d inst. via Bayonne. At that time Don PEDRO was forming a strong line of circumvallation in the environs of Oporto. The troops were in excellent spirits, and eager to march against the rebels, who were concentrating them selves at Coimbra. There had been a slight disaffection shown in the French battalion of Carcadores, who objected to have any other officers than French, according to the agree ment entered into when they enlisted. Don PEDRO had complied with their objection, and the best union existed amongst them. A notice has been sent to the remainder of the Portuguese at Rennes, and other parts of France, that a vessel is ready to receive them at Brest to convey them to Oporto, where they will be provided for by the Government of Donna MARIA. Paris was perfectly tranquil at the zleparture of the express. The funds continued steady at Wednesday's quotation. _ . . . Ship letters were received this morning in the City from Oporto, but not later than th e 28th ultimo. The Lisbon mail is still due, but important news may be expected on Monday. The following are extracts from Brazil Papers ;o the 18th of June, inclusive : From the Diario do Governo, from the 7th to the 18th June inclusive. ) RIO DE JANEIRO, JUNE 8.-This number contains the addresses of the Chamber of Senators, and of that of the Deputies, in answer to the speech at the opening of the Session. Both thank the Emperor for convoking the Chamber— congratulate themselves on the satisfactory state of the foreign relations of the empire—express their regret at the criminal attempts of factions i❑ the capital and some of the provinces, and promise to examine with the greatest attention the reports that will be laid before them by the different Ministers. JUNE I2.—We are requested to insert the following declaration : " The undersigned Charg6 d'Affaires of France thinks it necessary to declare, that he has never proposed, either verbally or in writing, the renewal of the Articles of the Treaty concluded between France and Brazil on the Bth of January, 1826, which expires this year, he has not even received any orders or instructions from his Government indicating the intention or desire that the said Articles should be renewed." By order of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and for the iuformation of the public the following is published : " The undersigned Charge d'Affaires of his Majesty the King of the French has several times had the honour to discuss verbally with his Excellency Senor Carneiro de Campos, Minister for Foreign Affairs of his Imperial Ma jesty, the question relative to the renewal of the treaties, and in particular of what regards that which was con cluded between France and Brazil on the Sth of January, 1826, several stipulations of which expire next year. The undersigned thinks it proper to recal this matter to his Excellency's attention. Without discussing here the ad vantages or the inconveniencies which may ensue from the general decision that seems to have been resolved upon, he will again observe that, the duration of the existing treaties not being the same, there would arise from this inequality of duration, unless a remedy were applied, an inequality in the treatment of the different Powers that have contracted them, which would, doubtless, be as inconsistent with the relation of good understanding and unity between Brazil and those Powers, as contrary to the object which the General Assembly and the Brazilian Government have in view. With respect to the treaty between France and Brazil in particular the undersigned will submit to his Ex cellency only one observation which appears worthy of his attention ; it is, that the non-renewal of the treaty may naturally give to France, in its turn, the right to revoke, among other advantages, the very important privileges which the cottons of Brazil enjoyed in France. " The undersigned has the honour, &e. " E. PONTOIS. " Rio de Janeiro, Sept. 11, 1831." ANSWER. " The undersigned Member of the Council of his Ma jesty the Emperor, Minister, Secretary of State for Fo reign Affairs, being now enabled to reply to the note which M. Ed. Pontois, Charge d'Affaires to his Majesty the King of the French, wrote to him on the 11th of Sept. 1931, requesting the renewal of some articles of the Bth of J inuary, 1826, which are to expire this year, has the honour to inform M.E. Pontois, that the Imperial Govern ment considering that French commerce will suffer no injury in ports of Brazil, with respect to the duties on con sumption, anchorage, &c. in consequence of the law of the General Assembly, which equalizes the duties on consump tion, anchorage, &c., or in consequence of the law of the General Assembly which equalizes, the duties on the im portation of foreign goods in the Custom-houses of the empire, judge that the apprehended inequality will not take place, at least in the essential part, and that therefore there is not at present any necessity for the renewal of the articles in question. " As the commercial interests of the French nation will not essentially suffer in Brazil, the Imperial Government cannot persuade itself, nor is it to be expected from the wisdom and generosity of the liberal French Government, that, because the said articles are not already renewed, the cottons of Brazil should loos the advantages which they now enjoy in France. " The Imperial Government is persuaded, that its re solution, being founded on such just reasons, cannot in any manner impair the harmony happily existing between it and the French Government, whose friendship is most highly valued by the Brazilian nation. " The undersigned has the honour, &c. " F. CARNEIRO DE CAMPOS. " Palace of the Government, April 30, 1532." JUNE 16 AND 18.—These two numbers contain the sequel to the above correspondence. M. Pontois, reply• ing, on the 4th of May, to the note of the 30th of April, begs to observe to the Minister that he did not ask the renewal of the articles, which he could not do, es he bad ❑o instructions to do so, nor has he since had any ; he only called his express attention to the subject in his note of September 11. surpriseAli A n l is . t P er o t n ht, t aa o dt i : ll,: ii in t t n his rteteaprnodor notwithstanding o cn f oluit il em l a ob y eir expresses ~ t theihesis, sated that he had not thought it advisable to comply with the request made by the Charge d'Affaires of France, both verbally and in writing, to renew the articles in question. As this assertion may lead to inferences prejudicial to the dignity of France, and as it is also indisputably incorrect, he requests that it may be corrected. To this the Minister replies on the 21st of May, that his report was already printed when the note of the 4th was received from M. Pontois, but, in referring to M. P's note of the 11th of Sept., which he quotes, be thinks he was not so incorrect in saying in his note of the 30th of April that M. P. proposed the renewal of the said articles, and that he cer tainly took this to be M. P.'s meaning ; that he does not see any thing offensive to the dignity of the French nation, which would be inconsistent with his character, and contrary to what he said in this respect, which the Government of Brazil chose to show to all nations whose friendship it is his policy to cultivate. In fine, if M. P. is not satisfied, he offers to publish the correspondence, and give in to the legislature the final account of his administra tion ; he never had any intention of deviating from the re gard with which all friendly nations ought to be treated. * This note is inserted both in the French and in a Portuguese translation. NUREMBURG, AUG. 2.—The Carlsruhe Gazette con tains a financial statement, from which it appears, that from the commencement of the financial year 1831, the taxes are nearly 1.400,000 dollars less than they were on the transition from a state of war to peace in 1816, and that consequently any decline of the public prosperity and increasing discontent cannot be attributed to the increase of the public burdens.—Nuremburg Correspondent , Aug. 3. Murum, JULY 30.—The Minister for Foreign Affairs sets out to-morrow for his country seat at Teiplitz. Prince Wrede, on leaving the circle of the Rhine, addressed a letter to the Provincial Government, expressing his sa tisfaction with the state of things in that circle.--Frank fort Papers, Aug. 4. PROGRESS OF CHOLERA IN LONDON.-- , As we anticipated last week, the rise in the atmospheric tern • perattne was followed by some increase in the number of cases of cholera : we are happy, however, to be able to state that the augmentation was not very considerable, and has again, during the last two days (Thursday and Friday) subsided to about the measure which we mentioned last week.--Medical Gazette.

The town was yesterday crlwded with company that poured in from all quarters. The encampments are seve ral, and pitched at a distance from each other. A consi derable force is quartered at Cumberland Lodge, in the Great Park, which is at the least four miles and a half out of the town, and where sufficient water cannot be ob tained ; consequently, carts were conveying that principal necessary all night. It seems that many of the troops are much in want of water. Upon the whole, the Park and garrison presents an interesting spectacle, and not upon such a limited scale, which makes the town and castle appear in a complete state of siege. It is reported in Windsor, that Monday will he the grand day, and that the Castle will be stormed at a late hour in the evening. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

The only arrival of consequence this morning is the Seringapatam frigate at Portsmouth from Rio Janeiro, which brings home about 450,000 dollars from Chili, and 20,000 from the wreck of the Thetis frigate. The American Commodore, Rogers, died recently on the South American coast. The Ame rican packet ship Philadelphia has also arrived from New York with the Earl of Behnour and family, late Go vernor of Jamaica. The cholera rages with violence at New York. On the 17th ult. 170 cases and 70 deaths were reported, in addition to which 967 cases and 4.36 deaths had occurred in twelve days. By the above frigate from Rio Janeiro private letters have been received of the 19th of June—all was tranquil there, and the Exchange on London was 38. Accounts from Brussels state that an estakte had ar rived there to M. Meulemare from Antwerp with de spatches, on which immediately was held a Council ; after it broke up despatches were sent to the brigades under the command of Generals Langermann and Vanderbureb, can toned in East Flanders, to proceed immediately to the extreme frontiers of West Brabant, and to establish their head-quarters at Tounhout ; two batteries of artillery have been sent off from Antwerp to the same point. These movements were owing to a change in the position of the Dutch army. We have ship letters from Oporto and Jamaica this morning, but we believe of an old date. Tlilt FUNDS. Consols opened this morning at the same price they left off at yesterday, 831 for the Account, with no animation in the Market to the present hour, nor is it supposed there will be any until the arrival of the express from Paris, which is not expected to bring any political news of importance. The chief object why the speculators are looking for the ex press, is to ascertain the price of the French Rentes, and the new French Loan. In the Foreign Market nothing doing as yet. HALF-PAST ORE. Up to the present time we do not hear of an express from Paris in the City, but we are informed one has arrived with the marriage of King Leopold to the King of France's daughter. The only transactions in the Funds of any consequence this morning was the sale of 50,0001. Consols, and a purchase of 40,0001. reduced. Consols may be quoted at present at 831 i for the Account. In the Foreign Market nothing doing in the French Loan; Portuguese Regent Scrip, 4+ to 4 discount. THREE 0' CL 0 GK. Consols for Account, 834 i. We are sorry to learn that Mr. ELLICE has resigned his situation as Secretary of the Treasury. His vigour, his straightforward conduct, his good sense, and his good humour, will not easily be replaced. He knew how to spur the reluctant, and to check the petulant. His loss, we think, will be severely felt. Mr. CHARLES Noon, a son-in-law of Lord GREY, will succeed him, of whom we can at least say that he has the character of an active and diligent man of business. Colonel GREY will succeed, pro tempore, 11r. WOOD as Private Secretary of the Premier.-- Times. A numerous meeting of the electors of West minster took place last evening at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, when a petition was numerously agreed upon, to be presented to the House of Commens, complaining of the clause limiti n g the time of payment of the rates, and praying an extension of time. The subject of an illumi nation was taken into consideration, when it was agreed that no demonstration of public joy should take place at present, and that the advertisements in the daily papers have not been authorised by the Westminster Committee. Several gardeners in the environs of Rotter dam have laterobserved that the morning dew , instead of being limpid as it usually is, has presented an oily appear ance, and adhered to the fingers. It will be for naturalists to decide whether this new quality is in the dew itself, or is communicated to it through some unwholesome ema nation from the plants; but it has been remarked, that the phenomenon appeared simultaneously with the cholera. At the time of the death of the late Hon. Mrs. SMITH, there were no less than eight eminent mem bers of the faculty, all in the house, consulting upon her case ! SUSPECTED MURDER. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Thi; morning, a man named Jam's Hobbs, apparently about 60 years of age, was brought before Mr. HALLS, the Magistrate, on suspicion of having murdered his wife. It appeared that the prisoner and his wife, who is much younger than himself, lodged in a room on the first floor of a house in great St. Andrew-street, Seven Dials, and always lived very unhappily together. Last nigh', about twelve o'clock, the prisoner came in a breath less state to the house of Mr. Owen, a surgeon, and requested him to come immediately, as he feared his wife was very poorly. Mr. Owen repaired im mediately to the house, when, to his astonishment, he found the lifeless body of the poor woman lying upon the ground, with part of a rope tied tightly round her neck, and the remainder attached to the bed-post, she having been strangled. Suspicion immediately fell upon the prisoner, and he was taken into custody. In answer to the questions put to him, he gave the following singular ac count of the circumstance : —He states that at about half-past 9 o'clock he left home, leaving his wife in bed fast asleep. He went to a public•house in the neighbour hood, where he smoked his pipe, and remained there till 12 o'clock, when he returned home to go to bed; upon entering the room, he was alarmed at discovering his de ceased wife hanging by the neck to the bed-post. He shook her and spoke to her, but she never answered, upon which he cut her down, and ran immediately for surgical assistance, as he considered it was quite necessary. He declared most solemnly that that was all he knew of the matter. Mr. Thomas said that the affair had produced a great sensation in the neighbourhood, and that very strong sus picion rested upon the prisoner. Mr. HALLS asked if any persons had seen the prisoner enter the house between the time he left on the first occa sion and the time he returned, as he says, at 12 o'clock. Mr. Thomas s he should at a future time be prepared with further evidence, and as the Coroner's Inquest had not yet sat, perhaps it would be proper to remand the prisoner. The prisoner was remanded accordingly. ASSIZES RECEIVED THIS DAY. OXFORD CIRCUIT, MoNmounr, Auousr 10. Uriah Sharman and John Duffield were indicted for having forcibly entered the cottage of Mary George, at Usk, and stealing from thence five sovereigns and various articles of food. Mary George, aged 67, the prosecutrix, stated, that on the night of the robbery she was in bed, when she was awoke, and found a man in her bed-room searching her boxes. He threatened violence to her if she were not quiet, and held an iron bar over her bead. He then went into the room of her grand-daughter, and she (the grand daughter) had a scuffle with the man, and in the scuffle the money was knocked out of his hand upon the floor. The young girl succeeded in ejecting him from the house, and bolting the door, with the assistance of witness. Meg George, the younger, grand-daughter of the last witness, corroborated her statement. The prisoner used much violence to her.—(This was Sharman—the other prisoner was identified as being with him.) Other witnesses were examined, one of whom was an accessary after the fact, and who was admitted as King's evidence. Their testimony w a s conclusive against the prisoners, and the Jury found them both Guilty. The Learned Judge sentenced them to transportation for life, and told Sharman that it was with great difficulty that be had decided upon sparing his life. THE INTENDED ILLUMINATION. Mr. Thomas announced to Mr. Halls, the Magistrate, that according to his request he had waited upon Sir Francis Burdett last night, respecting the intended general illumination. The worthy Baronet totally disclaimed any knowledge of the advertisement, and that he was quite averse to such a mode of public demonstration. Mr. HALLS said he was glad the public was set right upon the subject. CHOLERA MORBUS, OFFICIAL REPORT CENTRAL BOARD OF HEALTH. COUNCIL OFFICE, WHITEHALL.—(THIS DAY.) DAILY REPORT of CHOLERA CASES.

ALEXANDRIA, JUNE 24.—Ibrahim Pacha, who set ou the Bth instant from the camp of St. Jean d'Acre to march upon Damascus, entered the latter town upon the 15th, after having easily dispersed the troops which de. fended it. From Damascus the Egyptian army will pro ceed to Aleppo, to occupy the passes through which th Ottomans must come if they make any efforts for re conquering Syria. They have at this moment no other forces in that province than about ten thousand irregulio troops encamped at Hamah. This camp, fortified in great haste, will offer but a feeble resistance, and it is pro bable that Ibrahim will be at Aleppo towards the end of the month. In that favourable position, master of Syria and all the passes leading to it, at the head of an army of 56,000 men, possessing a numerous cavalry and an ex cellent artillery, he will await Field-Marshal Hussein Pacha, who has been ordered by the Porte to exterminate the rebels of Mehemed Ali. To attain this end the Porte, it is true, could only send out with her general an army of from 25,000 to 30,000 men, well supplied with Pachas, it is true, but without artillery, horses, war storse, or pro visions to traverse an immense extent of country destitute of resources and without good roads. The Egyptian army at Damascus consists only of 30,000 men a division of 20,000 men having been detached to observe the camp at Hamah. Two new regiments left Cairo to join Ibra him Pacha, whose army will then amount to 60,000 men. As Ibrahim had been informed that the cholera, or, ac cording to others, the plague, was making great ravaFts in the camp and town of Hamah, he applied for new in structions to Mehemed Ali prior to his march on Aleppo. Orders were immediately transmitted to him to march forward, as a general should not be arrested in the execu• tion of his orders by the inclemency of the seasons, by dis eases, or any other dangers. The Egyptian squadron is still cruising off our port, waiting for the coming out of the Ottoman fleet, which it intends to encounter. The fourth ship of 100 guns will probably be ready to join the squadron in a fortnight. The naval forces will then consist of four ships of 100 guns, eight frigates, of which six carry 60 guns, fifteen sloops or brigs, six fireships, and one steam-vessel. The ships of the line are commanded as follows :—No. 1, by Hussard, a Frenchman ; No. 2, by Prisseck, an Englishman ; No. 3, by Belson, a French. man; No. 4, by a young Turk, who has been recalled from Toulon, where he had been five years in the French navy, and passed through all the grades to that of lieu tenant.

Jatc 4 kyjeLials-a s's met at the Burton-rooms, - The CHAIRMAN (Mr. SHAW, of BUrtrilliVeigleMPT having explained the object of the Meeting, Mr. Nasit moved that a Committee be appointed, f, r the purpose of promoting the election of Colonel Jones. Mr. BLAICENIAN said Colonel Jones had been long be f , re the public, and was well known as an efficient advo cate of Reform. It bad been stated that Colonel Jones, when Commandant at Brussels, caused a man to be se verely flogged, and otherwise acted in such a tyrannical manner as to cause the military officers and municipal au thorities to complain of his proceedings ; and that when in Ireland he was guilty of an act of great cruelty, lay cutting off the arm of a man, or severely wounding him. He should he glad if Colonel Jones would also state at what time, and under what circumstances, he left the army. Colonel JONES, after stating to the meeting that it was not his intention to trouble any one by a personal canvass for his vote, proceeded to notice the charges to which the previous speaker alluded. With respect to the first charge, that his arbitrary conduct at Brussels had been com plained of by the military officers and municipal authori ties, he could most solemnly declare that it was utterly unfounded. It was true, that while he was Commandant a soldier was flogged there, and he would describe the circumstances under which the occurrence took place. In his capacity as Commandant, he had to provida accom modation for the wounded soldiers—English, Prearich, German, Prussian, and Russian—who were brought by waggons' full into Brussels. Provision bad only been made in the hospitals for 1,200, though the number of wounded brought into the place amounted to twelve thou sand. In these circumstances he seized upon churches and whatever buildings he could lay hold of, for the purpose converting them into hospitals. Every night he went through the wards to see that the wounded were properly attended to, accompanied by his eldest son, then a bay six or seven years old, who employed himself in carry ing lint for their use. While engaged in this duty, his ears were constantly assailed by the complaints of the sick men, that they were robbed, and that even their blankets were taken from them by their nurses. These nurses were soldiers, who had been slialitly wounded themselves. He was extremely sorry to hear that men, lying perhaps on their death-bed, should have been robbed by their comrades ; and having discovered an English soldier to be one of the thieves, he immediately ordered him to be tried by a Court-martial, who sentenced him to be flogged. Upon learning the sentence, he sent for the President of the Court-martial ; and he asked that officer whether he was aware that the man was slightly wounded ? to which question the officer replied by statine, that the soldier was a notorious rascal, and that it would he impossible to maintain discipline unless an ex "allele should be made of him. Still he was not satisfied, and desired the Deputy-Inspector of the Ilospit il, Dr. M'Neal, to examine the soldier, and to state whether be could hear flogging. Dr. M'Neal reported that flogging would not injure the man, and he accordingly directed him to be flogged ; and he would order any man to be flagged under the same circumstances again.—(Applause.) If he did not, he should deserve to be flagged himself. He could not allow a poor foreigner, who was lying bleeding from his wounds, to be plundered by a rascal of his own country. The next charge was, that he had cut off a man's arm. This he denied, but he admitted that he wounded a man in the arm in the neighbourhood of Tamworth. He was charged to take his battalion to Ireland, and he stopped at Tamwortlt for the purpose of getting refreshment for his men. When there, the officers went to an it.n, and provided for their own comforts, leaving the men to take care of themselves. The consequence of this WAS, that the greatest confusion and disorder prevailed; and even a spirit of resistance began to manifest itself. While engaged in preparation for em barking his men on the canal, lie was greatly impeded by one of the bargemen, who told the soldiers not to mind his orders. He advised the man several times to go about his business, and at last took out his sword and hit hint with the flat part, in order to drive him away. The man turned his arm round, and catching the end of the sword on his hand, was cut, but so slightly, that the surgeon said it did not need binding up. This was the history of that transaction. And now he would advert to the last point on which he intended to address the meeting. He left the army in 1825, in consequence of circumstances con nected with the affair at Tainavorth. He had already ac quainted the meeting with the improper conduct of the officers on that occasion. He might, if he had chosen, have sent them to be tried by court-martial for their con duct; but as many of them were very young men, he adopted a more lenient course, and wrote an order. In that order he told the officers that they ought not to consider themselves merely as passive beings, or as ornaments in a regiment ; that they ought not to seek a place of shade while their men were in the sun, nor indulge in repose while their men were obliged to perform harassing duties, and that they ought not to look after their own comforts or conve niences, until they had directed their attention to the state of their men. The order went on to state, that at tention to the belly was the leading defect of British officers, and generally robbed them of that reputation which they might otherwise gain by their superior energy of character; and concluded by observing, that it was not surprising that men, when abandoned by their officers, should disgrace themselves and their colours by acts of the greatest insubordination. This was the substance of tke order which he promulgated, and he assured the meet ing, that he was not ashamed of it. But it gave offence to the junior officer, and it was sent with a complaint to the Duke of York, at Newmarket. He wag never a fa vourite in high quarters ; and the Duke of York, when he received the complaint, exclaimed, " I have got him at last," and immediately sent directions that the order should be torn from the book; because it was alleged, it in sulted the young gentlemen and noblemen of the coun try itt the most wanton manner. After this, it was impossible for him to remain in the army any longer. He accordingly sold out, and to prove he was no idler, and above all silly pride, he immediately in vested his money in trade. Having now answered all the charges brought against him—(Great applause)—he would take the liberty of describing the sort of persons which, in his opinion, the electors ought to choose to sit in the next Parliament. They should select those who would perform their Parliamentary duty without reference to their own interest, and who had judgment enough to avoid un necessary danger, but nerve enough to meet it when ne cessary. He was a Reformer, but no Revolutionist.-- - -Col. Jones then sat down, amidst much applause. His state ment appeared to have completely convinced the Meeting of the utter groundlessness of the imputations cast upon his character. Several Gentlemen then addressed the Meeting, ex pressing themselves perfectly satisfied with the explana tion made by Colonel Jones, and recommending him to the electors of Marylebone, on account of his abilities, his habits of business, and his indefatigable industry. A Committee was appointed to promote the return of Colonel Jones; and after voting thanks to the Chairman, I the Meeting broke up. ,t TIIE FLEET AT COVE.-Yesterday morn ing Vice-Admiral Sir PULTENET MALCOLM'S fleet, con sisting of the Donegal, Tyne, Nimrod, Orestes, Trin cub°, Prince of Wales, and Onyx, returned to our har bour, after a week's cruise to the westward. We learn that they will be shortly joined by a French fleet from Cherbourg, consisting of seven sail of the line and four frigates.— Cork Southern Reporter.

A SAILOR'S ESCAPE FROM AN ALLI GATOR... sailor, named CAMPBELL, on board a Guinea man on the Congo, bathed in that river while in a state of intoxication. When he had awimmed some distance from the ship some of the sailors on board discovered an alli gator making towards him. His escape appeared impos sible; but two shots were fired at the frightful monster, which, however, did not take effect. The report of the piece, and the noise on board the vessel, intimated to CAstrazza, his perilous situation ; and, turning, he saw his enemy advancing with open jaws, which impelled him with his utmost strength and skill towards the shore. On approaching some canes and shrubs which covered the bank, closely pursued by the alligator, a ferocious tiger sprang towards him, at the instant the jaws of his first enemy were extended to seize him. At this awful moment CAMPBELL was preserved ; for the too eager tiger, by overleaping him, encountered the gripe of the amphibious monster. A conflict ensued between them, and the water was coloured with the blood of the tiger, whose efforts to tear the scaly covering of the alligator were unavailing ; while the latter also had the advantage of keeping his ad versary under water, by which the victory was soon ob tained, and the tiger fell the victim. They both sank to the bottom, and the alligator was no more se en.
