Two SOLDIERS FLooozo.—ln accordance with
the finding and sentence of a district court-martial re-
cently held at this garrison, the whole of the officers and
men belonging to the 3rd depot battalion were (hewn up
at St. Mary's Barracks yesterday, for the purpose of wit-
nessing the infliction of corporal punishment on Private

ment, both of whom were sentenced to receive the maxi-
mum number of 50 lashes, and to undergo lengthened
periods of imprisonment. The prisoner Haydon wail tried
for making away with his regimental necessaries, and from
the regimental records it appears he has been tried no
1 fewer than 16 times, and received corporal punishment
seven times. The other prisoner, who is also a man of
very depraved character, was tried for creating a great dia-
-1 turbance in a public-house in Chatham, and assaulting
some other soldiers. After the sentences had been read
the prisoners were fastened to the triangles, and the full
number of lashes inflicted. On being released they were

THE CONSOLIDATED BANE.—We understand that
the Manchester directors of the Consolidated Bank are
earnestly engaged in devising means whereby the Man-
chester business of the bank may be re-organised, and
that they are most anxious to do all in their power to
mitigate the inconvenience arising to their customers from
the stoppage of the bank. It is now generally understood
that the Manchester board were not consulted with re-
ference to the suspension, or the unfortunate circumstances
which preceded it. Should a re-organisation take place,
we believe it will be entirely independent of any oonnexion
with the London establishment ; and no doubt the share-
holders and depositors will be consulted at an early date
upon the subject.—Mawassfer Examiner.
