It will be perceived by the Inspector's Reports, that the

to dank otherwise), that there exists ou possible necessity for

LONDON,

WEDNESDAY, Ocmua 3, MI.

I inso oeninual of Sir Rooms? Witoon's name
from the Army List by the arbitrary Maim of the
royal prerogative, gives to Abe Azietaseeslr ?dr Half-
Rey List a degree of constitutions! importance which
did not previously seem to belong to it. The number
of half-pay officers, military and naval, throughout
the United Kingdom is very considerable, end a
very large auto of money, is annually distributed
among them. To the greet majority of those Gen-
tlemen the receipt of their half-pay is of iso trifling
moment. and with many of them it constitutes
their principal, if not their only mean of support.
Distributed as they are throughout the conatry,
mad holding from their rank in the service • re-
"getable station in society, they are capable .of
. exercising a considerable influence is Amin or
controlling its political tone and conduct, and it
consequently becomes a mutter of no smell interest
that their own habits of mind should be free from
all undue restraiiit. The half-pay of NI officer es
generally regarded as the reward given bye grateful
country to a most valuable and deserving body of
OM fur their port services, or ae a kind of coos-
panation to them (or the private injury they have
sustained in bring removed from the active duties
of their profession. This impression, however, im-
plies an erroneous view of the actual fact, but it
speaks the sense of the public generally with regard
to what the fact ought to be. The Goverumeat,
however, wish it to he understood otherwise, and
according to their interpretation the ho(/-pop
given in the way of • general retainer upon thpiet
who receive it—not pro sereiiiis impels:ie. but pro
aeraitiis impendendis—thus rendering these officem
as liable to be called out for duty, at the discretion
of their superiors, as any officers on active service,
end subjecting them in the very same degree to be
deprived of the emoluments to which their com-
missions may entitle them. The power of the
Crown to deprive any officer, Naval or military,
of his commission, cannot in strict right be dc•
stied. The 'word of the State emphatically is
lodged in the hands of the KIM!. and with him,
therefore, alone rests the discretion with which the
right it commusticates is to be exercised. But
should this discretionary power degenerate into
mere personal caprice, no man of bonostruble mind
or indepesident sentiments would be found to show
a sword its subjection to it. The service would be
suited only to men of slavish dispositions, and wish
such would it eventually be filled. Not only would
the character of the army and navy be degraded—
not only would they cease to be distinguished by
those noble qualities for which they are now so de-
servedly esteemed—not only would the enthusiasm
of valour, tempered by generosity and humanity,
become utiknowo or forgotten—but they would
quickly she* themselves the instruments of every
thing vicious in power, the enemies of the coml.'.
tution, and the oppressors, instead of being the
• defenders of their country. From this evil we have
escaped, because its our army and navy are to be
found the same principles and feelings which dis-
tinguish the great body of the station. The nice
shades of political distinctions which mark the
several putties in Parliament and throughout she
country have not hitherto been found to offer
any serious impediment to individual promo-
motion ill either service, and consequently No.
bleinen and Gentlemen,, whatever may be their
sentiments as to the relative merits of the Ministers
and the Opposition, do not hesitate to indulge the
military ardour of their sons or other relatives.
Topics of general political interests have hitherto
been as freely auJ as unreservedly discussed at a
• regimental mees.tahle as round the board of any
Gentleman in the empire. and tin man has appre-
hended the loss of his commission, or the interruption
of his fair promotion, from having ventured to clue*.
tion the infallibility of the Ministers. Henceforth,
however, this freedom must be bauished from the
army. Let no officer, to whom his CUIDIOIII4OII may
be on object. of importance, flatter himself that
while lie discharges his military duties he will be
safe if he hold all oi/1611011 unmusical to the ears of
the friends of Aniline's; he will ito longer have
the opportunity of repelling public charges by
means of a public trial before u Court-Martial; his
commission • ill no longer depend upon the honout-

big, if not distorting, the words and acts of others !
An imtitotion which was intended to prove the
gratitude of the country, might thus be converted
into • public nuisance of the most peruicious cha-
racter—degrading to the profession of a soldier, but
tainting the lift-spring of our social existence. It
is a matter that must force itself upon the attention
of the public, and will probably demand the mote
particular notice of l'inliament.

Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's,
at Gibraltar, dated September 10, received yes-
terday :—" It appears by an official comma.
nication from Cadiz that the existence of the yd.
low fever at Port St. Mary's has been formally
declared by the physicians at that place. A small
Tripoline squadron, which had been sent to the as-
sistance of the Porte, has fallen into the hands of
the Greeks."

The general character of the markets, resulting
from the accounts ia the provincial Papers we have
received, is that of supplies and drooping prices.
The hurrest.is now drawing taa close, and although
the crops have suffered from unfavourable weather,
the loss is trivial in comparison with what was lately
anticipated. At ull events the predate, juiced to
the large stock on hand, must dissipate all appre-
hension of scarcity this season.

We are happy to find that the spirit of conci-
liation inculcated by the Sovereign during his visit
to Ireland continues to influence the Government of
that country. Its political state is also highly
satisfactory. The circuits generally have not pre-
sented heavy cslendars, and none of them have
any feature of sedition or conspiracy tending
to disturb the public tranquillity. The county
of Limerick, we regret, is an exception to this
rule. The accounts of barbarities exercised in
it cannot be read without horror. Murder sue-
credo to murder, even before the Judge has
passed the bounds of the county, with such rapidity
that four or five individuals have suffered in the
course of so many days. These atrocities are not
committed in the dark. Such is the pitch of dar-
ing to which guilt has arisen, they are perpetrated
iu broad day-light, iu the presence of the police.
and Ur defiance almost of the military. Armed
gangs have paraded through the villages seising
arms; and, in short, all authority seems to have
been held in contempt.

DISINTERMRIVT OF MAJOR ,4NORE.

•
The following is from the Nets. fee itsysis4
Post of the 11th of August • ' -
" This event took place at Tappan, Os Fr id4y.
10th inst. at one p.m. amidst a considerable concourse
of ladies and gentlemen that assembled to witness
this interesting ceremony. The British Consul. with
several gentlemen. occompetnied by the proprietor of
the ground. and his labourers, commenced their ope-
rations at 1I o'clock. by removing the heap of loose
stones that surrounded and partly covered the grave.
Great caution was observed in taking up a small
peach tree that was growing out of the grave. a. the
Coosal stated his intention of seeding it to his
Majesty, to be placed in one of the royal gardens.
Considerable anxiety was felt lest the coffin could
not be found, us various ruinous existed of its hav-
ing been removed many years ago. However. when
at the depth of three feet the labourers came to it.
The lid was broken in the centre, and had partly
fallen in, but was kept up by resting on the skull.
The lid being raised the skeleton of the brave
Andre appeared entire; hone to bone, each in its
place, without a vestige of any oilier part of hi.
remains, save some of Iris hair, which appeared in
smell tufts; and the only part of his dress was the
leather string which tied it.
" As soon as the curiosity of the spectators was
gratified a large circle was formed, when Mr.
Eggleso, the undertaker, with his arristants, unco-
vered the sarcophagus. into which the remains were
earefully removed. This superb depository, in imi.
twtiva of those used in Europe for the rein4ins of
the illustrious dead, was made by Mr. Eggleso. of
Broadway, of mahogany. the punnets covered with
rich crimson velvet, surrounded by a gold border-
ing, the rings of deep burnished gold, the pannel
also crimson velvet, edged with gold, the inside lined
with black velvet, the whole supported by four gilt
balls.
" The sarcophagus, with the remains, have been
removed on board his Majesty's pocket, where, it is
understood, as soon us some repair. on board are
completed, an opportunity will be given of vewiug
it."

A private letter from New York, of the 4th Sept.
communicates some additional particulars. " The
manner of the disinterring," says the writer. " was
very honourable to theA mericatis who attended; but as
it was reported that those who should attend would be
tarred and feathered, it was deemed !prudent to bring
away the sarcophagi's during the night. It is but
justice to sly, that the hostility excited is much
blamed by the respectable part of the Americans,
who consider it disgraceful to the stational character.
However, us they generally viewed the dishonoured
grave of the brave Andre as a t►iumplal memorial,
even on this ground the removal has been iinportant.
" 1 can positively state there was no iiitention
whatever of any (Afar procession than a few Blit►sh
Officers, mud the Consuls of Austria. Russia, and
Spain, who expressed a desire to attend, timid the
sarcophagus was to have been removed in the r•ar-
riage of Mr. Buchanan, the British Consul. This
gentleman has forwarded the two cedar tress which
grew out of the grave to England. Their roots had
warped themselves round the skull of Andre, like
• tine netting. It is not known by whom those
• frail memorials' were placed. •
" It is evident that Major Andre Idea not buried
its his regimentals, as not a button, nor any putt of
his dress, move the leatheru string that tied his
Lair. could be found."

the same size sod form, and throw therm with all hi•

being the lightest ealistanct, to have &Iles short of the odor
articles; and that each have talk. au of the other, in
require to their respective weights. The reader will bear
this in mind, for on this principle my method is fuelided.
The farina or fluor of • mood corn miens( by mechs-
sic', toothiest's)* is the grain, bet by germinetioe or sprout-
ing this arrangement of the furies is rhattgerf into dietetical
tinfoil, sad is no longer capable of being separated by me-
chaotic', mesas. It is this chauge which renders it salt for
bread; but as every bane is said to lave its amides., this
change alters the specific weight of ear*, earl ealarges

It therefore mil, rentaies to devise the best sad most simple
method •r applying &sufficient force to drive the corn through
the air is an appropriate direction, and oar purpose is
answered.
I shall first notice what description of force appears to be
the best. The centripetal resew be applied--the ceotri.

be the best adopted, as it can be applied is the smallest

some districts to separate the cons from the chaff by throw-
ing it with a shovel, describing a ponies .f • circle by the
inotios of the arm. Their hares are built on purpose
That is, on • peculiar construction fur this practice. But
the differesee betwits • mead gad a sprouted cure is not
.o great as that betwixt the corn and iss chaff; it therefore
requires • greater force then was ea. apply by this action.
Another method presents itself by which her.. apply a fore.
sufficient for she pulpier. The genie of trap-bell belay
generally keowis—the placing the hall in • cavity at oue
eel of the wicket, and striking the other eel ..sorely with e
bat, the CUICIIIIIIIIOII excited causes the ball to rise is • per.
pendicedar direction. This action, or seethed of exciting
the rectilinear force may be accomplished by Inegieg
the wicket in • verticle instead of a horizsetal positive,
which would project • small porticos of core i• • direct litte,
far enough to produce the desired &crannies,. The lower
end of the wicket may work in • trough or b.az, so formed
as to held • small queenly of corn, which nosy be supplied
through. tube from a hopper. This tube being frinsisbed
with • valve, which should open and close sistoiltaseolisly
with each stroke of the bat, so timed as so deporit about a
pint of cora iu the trough jest before the wicket—a spriug
behind the lop of the wicket will prevent its being forced
too far over the centre by the stroke of the bed, and facili-
tate its retorts le the perpendicular positioa. This simple
bet effective implement may be worked without the hopper
and valve by employing a person so deposit the corn its the
trough bie;erizt each stroke of the bet. A lid or cover to
the trough mould prevent the corm from rising out of the
direct hue. The concealed' visited by Ibis blew from the
strength of • cuesmoo person, will drive the now through
the air with much greater velocity iu a diesel hue to a
greater distance, le proportion to she quantity in a giver
time, this by as, other method of applying the Force of else
