GENERAL VEVEREUXI LEVEE.

Yesterday General D'Evereux held r military
levee at Morrison'.. Dawson-street. Among the
company resent, which was numerous and fashion-
able, we observed a slumber of fine women. The
General, Oa entering thy room, was received with a
burst of applause. Hr was accompanied by 114
►taf and the officers of the First Lancers of his
Legion. At half-past three Colonel Lyster entered,
supported by a number of officers. beating, by de-
sire of the General. the new stand of colours for
Colonel Aylnier's Regiment. Geiser's! D'Evereua
then addressed the corps as follows :
" Brusher Sohtiers —This Standard you will receive from
the hands of a Lady who admires the motives which prompt
you to leave your country; and, in the boor of danger, I
feel satisfied that the recollsction of this day will animate
you in its defence, and stimulate you to deeds of glory. I
trust, and am convinced, I shall ever behold this Standard
a pledge of your fidelity and your honour; and that, in ral-
lying round it, you will always shed a lustre upon Ireland."
—(Loud and reiterated cheers followed this Address, which
was delivered with grace and feeling.)
The Lady of Counsellor O'Connell, taking II e
Colour's from the General, addressed the Colonel ,
and his Officers to this effect :
"[.asst—1 have the honour to present you this
Flag, which I am sure you will not cherish the less fur bring
handed to you by an !tidiest:lmm, who admires and loves
those emotions of coivage and sentiments of liberality
which bear you far from your native land. May success
' and glory attend your steps, and peat-email happiness crown
your efforts! This, Gentlemen, shall be my sincere inlayer."
—[Mrs. O'Connell was very impressive, but was evidently
much affected towards the conclusion of the Address, which
was followed by denim; and waving of hats.]
Seldom has there been seen, in a single regiment.
as, fine a corps of officers as acme of the Usurers ;
they were the admiration of all present.
The General went round a vast circle, paying
his respects to his friends, and at a quarter br►'ore
five the Levee broke up—every one delighted with
the imposing splectacle, so cheering to every fr end
of suffering humanity. Au immense number of
people surrounded the hotel.

RECORDER'S COURT (CORK),

TIIIIILIWAY, JULY lb.

■AI.PIN a. BROWNIION.
This was an action for an assault—the declare-
Lion contained several counis.--Damages were laid
at 50/.
The Defendant, a Captain of the 25th regiment
of font, with several of his brother officers, went nit
the 46th of May lasi, on an excursion. fishing mat
shooting. up the batiks of the river Lee. Upon
passing Major Honner's grounds in the morning,
they met the Plaintiff, who was employed by him
as wood-ranger, but passed without particularly
noticing him. On their return in the evening, be-
tween wren and eight o'clock, they again met
him about the souse spot, near a bridge adjniu-
ing the demesne. A soldier, *emelt to the De•
fendant, observing a musket in the Plaintiff 'a
hand, which lie perceived was a military or King's
piece. asked him how he came by it, what he
wanted of it. and desired him to give it up.
This the Plaintiff refused to do, stating his no.
cupatioit, and in whose employment he was. The
soldier called to his master. who was with his coin-
' µanions at some little distance, saying that a sus.
picious-looking inset had a King's musket, which
he would not give up. Captain Brownson, in re.
ply, desired him to take it from him, but the Plain-
tiffotill refusing, he came up himself and demanded
the gun. The Plaintiff declared he would not part
with it. repeated his occupation and the MIME of
his employer, and as if determined to defend him-
self. pointed the muzzle of the piece at Captain
Brownson, who immediately rushed in and wrested
it from hum. The Plaintiff, in au angry tone, dee
Mended to have it restored, which Captain Brown-
son refused, unless he saw Major Winner, or smite
written authority fur his carrying arm*, which lie
said a person of his appearance, being rather rag-
ged. was not entitled to. The Plain tiff told hum
Major Homier was then from home ; that he hail
gut the gun for the protection of the grounds, and
that if it was taken away he would lose his employ-
silent. Finding that he I ould not get it hack, he
called to a wothau to call the labourers an the grouhtla

to assist, him. for that he had heti robbed of his gtid.;
Capt. 13C06111/Un and his party proceeded %bout 200
yards. Mill passing along the Inch through Major
Homier's ground, whets the steward. acconatranied by
Unir or fiveflcouutry people. overtook them. The
Steward explained his own sitwation, that of the
Plaintiff. and the absence of Major Honner. and of-
fered to deposit twenty pounds or guineas witliCapt.
Brownson. until the morning, if he would give up
the gun. to enable the Plaintiff to continue his
watt's for the night. Captain Brownson. however,
persisted in bringing the gun away with him, and
lodged it in the Adjutant-General's Office. Where
it was &tensed until this day. when it was produced
in Court. The gun, though charged when pre-
sented by Halpiu at Captain Bromism', was not
primed.
These were briefly the material facts of the case.
There were other circuminsuces between Major
Homier, the Plaintiff's Agent. Mr. Foot. and the
Defendant. Browsison, which nut immediately bear-
ing on the case, we omit.
The Plaintiff's cue was proved by the testimony
of Mr. Cocker, a respectable citizen, and the steward.
On the defence, Capt. Gilbert. one of the party,
win called, who denied. what indeed bad not been
proved, that any great violence had been used in
taking the gun, though stated in the declaretion.
This gentleman's opinions. however, with respect
to the power of military gentlemen to disposes*
persons whom they may con.ider suspicious, or not
mottled fr..m their 11111 k to carry arms. did not meet
the concurrence of the Court. Neither did the
RECORDER assent to his impression that, because
the Plaintiff bad been in the army. and is at pre-
sent a pensioner, his refusal to give up the gun was
an act of mutiny which subjected loin to military
puoirliment, or that he. any more thou any other
person not in the army, was at all amenable to a
Military Court.
In charging the Jury the Recoßosa eloquently
and energetically explained the nature of the mili-
tary law, as contra-distinguished from the civil law
of the land. to which it is in all cases subservient.
the military body being merely the hired servants of
the people, employed for the purpose of enforcirig
its slue execution, but not by any means released
thereby from their own responsibility to the civil
law for any offence not of a military nature. He
then toll( a review of the case, leaving to the Jury
the quantum of damages to which, under the cir-
cursistauces, the Mannar was entitled—neither
considering the rank of the one as • palliation,
nor the poverty of the other as disentitling him to
rens/moldy but not vindictive damages fur the in.
jury.—Verdict for the Plaintiff—damages 51.
