MRS. TRORNTON.

We are astonished that some of the London
Edioirs should be so devoid of that true gallantry
to a lady. ever so charaaeristical in Engli,hmen,
and more so that they should descend to a grf is
libel in their publications :—•as an instance of their
very refined manners, we give the following, and
which has been servilely copied into one or two of
the country prints of out neighbourhood

The i.ii-dusier Mrs. Thorne art, it SNITS, s the daughter
of a Ti • Itti; at is not unnatural therehre that she Wool,' he
a Mira racer, nor that she should wish to make a transarin
the ALI:4 to the Piste."

We have authority to state that the above is erro-
neous: Mrs. F. is of a respeaable family ; and no
woman has received a better education. fist were
even it, asithose r0...y %ridings have stated, we should
have thought. that the common count-sr usnally
due to a lady.. and the gene-al interest shewn for
Mfrs. T. by ALL on the day of her running her match,
would have prevented such a very low and illibet al
paragraph.—( Yee* iler•kl.)

The Bedford Court Martial is still depending.
It did not terminate as was supposed, but
osead-
journed,
ow' to the following extraordinary cir-
conistancef;-- Serjeant Major having stated ia
evidence, Not fully, but by mistake, as it after-
wards appeiii3, that Captain Giilt‘Tlti was present
at a meeting of officers, on a day mentioned, coil-
trary to the ta,rl, fur which he was ordered to the
gaard room ; and Col. Moon baying been put in
arrest as privy :o the perjury. a doubt arose as to
the possibility of the Colonel going on with the pro.
secution, during his arrest ; and many and various
were the opinions of the Court concerning it. At
length it was determined to apply to r-ir ClfAxLs 1
MOEG•N for information. When the Serjeant's mis-
take appeared, the Colonel was released, and his
sword handed to him in Court;- but he felt as a
man ought to feel f 1 his honour, and declined ac-
cepting it. from the injury he considered the Court
had done him.

Lit,t week a Court Martial assembled at Hull, for
the trial of Lieutenant Bice, of the 3d Lincoln
Militia, on a charge of having absented himself
from duty withrut l..ave. After an adjournment
of some days, in order to give Lieutenant B. an
opportuni:y of preparing his defence, the Court re-
commenced its sittings on Thursday i the proceed.
ings are not yet finish •d.
BrigadieeGeneral Ilastitron has arrived at Lon-
donderry, to take the command of that &stria.
Sunday se'nnigbt a duel was fought near Island-
bridge, Dublin. between Lieut. (:).1` and Mr.
H. G —s, when, atter exchange of shots without
effeti, the affair elided in an amicable manner.
This di,pute arose in consequence of Lieut. o—y
being the bearer of a me,sag- from Mr. J. T.
UsT--11---04•D to Mr. G—c, he being th author of
a critique published in the last llibernian Maguine,
on a private Play in Stafford-street. Mr. G. was
then called upon by Mr. LTu—a—•-00D fur an imme-
diate meting, or an apology. which last, Mr. G.
ide it: a s.uisfaftory manner. •
