MONDAY, NOVEMBER 46.

it appears by the Parliamentary Papers, that Race
January, 1816, one thousand are hundred and five
first commissions have been granted.
During the same time there have been upwards
of 1200 Cornets, Ensigns, and Second Lieutenants
upon half.pay.

Mr. Hume stated, on Colonel Davies's motion,
that 130 Officers had been placed on half-pay the
very day on which they were aPlx►inted to their
first commissions since the peace have been put on
half-pay.
There were on the 25th of Atrch last, 1.346
Cornets, Second Lieutenantss and Ensigns on half-
pay, and 3,491 Lieutenant, (with the Ensigns and
Lieutenants of the Foot Guards.)

It is evident, therefore, that :f the 'vacancies in
the army had been filled up by these officers, the
lower claw of officers on the haply list would
have been reduced almost to nothing. This obvious
mode of reducing the burthens of the people has
been entirely disregarded.

We refer our readers to a most intereqing report
which we give to-day, of an application made to the
Court of King's Bench by Mr. Pearson, the Bar-
rister, on Wednesday last, for a criminal information
against a Gentleman of fortune, his Valet, a Consta-
ble, and a Magistrate, all four residing at or near
Stone, in Staffordshire. We arc in possession of the
names of the parties, and all the particulars, which
we pledge ourselves to publish at length, in case the
proceedings arc permitted to go on—and we fear.
lcssly assert, that so cold, so heartless, so flin•y a
recital, never met publicity.

Another report was made to Ms Majesty by the
Recorder on Monday last, when five more were or-
dered for execution to-morrow, making together
thirteen iu the metropolis only within six days.

Sir Charles Wolscley passed through Lichfield on
Wednesday night last, on his way from Abingdon
to Wolselcy-ball : his imprisonment expired on that
day. The tenants at Vulseley, and the inhabitants
of the neighbourhood, paid their respects to him on
the following day, and hailed with pleasure his re-
turn amongst them. Bonfires, feastizigs, and other
demonstrations of joy, were exhibited at Rugeley,
and the villages adjacent.
We have been informed, on application being
made to his May. sty's Mint liar a supply of farthings,
agreeable to the Peoclamation, that no person will
be accommodated with a less quantity than ten
pounds worth. We think the Government should
forthwith appoint some house in the City and ano-
ther in AVestminster to issue any quantity that
might be applied for, with a view of giving every
facility to their circulation. _ _

TWEEDIE THE DEFAVLTER.--The father shot
himself in the same office which was so recently held
by the son : he, likewise, could not make up his Le-
counts. The latter visited persons much above his
rank in life; he frequenteil routs and balls in the
fashionable circles, and having a pleasing voice,
bezarpe a boa vivant. Ilia finances not being ade-
quate to this extravagance, he supplied the deflei-
ciencies from the public purse. When the late
retrenchments were resolved upon, TweedierecLive.l
notice of superannuation, upon a pcusion of .5001.
with instructions to make up hi., accounts with all
possible despatch.
