COURT-MARTIAL AT PLYMOUTH..--A Court-
martial sat on Wednesday and Thursday, for the trial of
private W. Johnston, of the 12th Lancers, for having, on
the 16th of January, at Chichester, fired a pistol loaded
vii,h ball at a comrade of the name of Thomas Andrews.
The prisoner, protesting he never meant to harm his com-
rade, threw himself on the mercy of the Court, having
received a very good character from all the witnesses. He
is, we understand, well connected in Scotland, and has
been well educated. The sentence of the Court cannot,
of coarse, be promulgated until the Judge-Advocate-Ge-
neral has made his report to her Majesty.—Hampshir
Telegraph.

THE SOUP KITCHEN AND UNIVERSAL SIIIIF-
FRACIA.—On Friday last, we have great pleasure in stating, it was
resolved at a public meeting held in this town that the soup kitchen
should be Immediately re-opened for the relief of the necessitous
poor. After Wm. Chapman, Esq., had moved that tips soup kitchen
be opened forthwith, and the motion had been duly seconded, J.
Fife, Esq., the Mayor, who presided, paused for a moment before
putting the question, looked round the room, and said, " has any
gentleman any amendment to move, " that without Universal Suf-
frage the soup kitchen is perfectly useless ?" This simple inquiry,
which was received with hearty applause and laughter, should chew
the Chartists th• stupidity of opposing what Is for their benefit.—
Tyne Mercury.

REFORM DEMONSTRATION.—There was a
Reform Demonstration in Wigtownshire—a grand ball, and other
joyous demonstrations, at Newton-Stewart, on Friday, Jan. 18, in
honour of Alexander Murray, Esq , of Broughton, as Representative
in Parliament of the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright. —Dumfries Courier.
CURLING.—The parishes of Moffat and Kirk-
patrick. Juxta played a friendly spiel on the 2d curt.; scene of action
Loch-house Loch ; numbers 40 on each side. The party were di-
vided into five sets of combatants ; and at the termination of the
game, after a great display of skill, the Kirkpatrickers were success
fu lat three, and the Moffat men at two rinks. In point of shots, the
advantage lay on the other side up to the goodly number of 60.
Dumfries Courier.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.—The " Animals'
Friend Society" brought many offenders before Mr. Trail last week
for great cruelty to horses and asses during the frost, Lucar,
George Green, Fitzpatrick, and —Bentley, were all charged by
Mr. Gibbons, the agent, with having used great violence to the poor
animals, in having beaten them on the nose and legs while greatly
overloaded, with very thick sticks, till one of them fell. They were
all fined, but not above ss. or 6i. each. We only lament the small-
ness of the fines for such aggravated offences, and hope in future a
higher punishment will be imposed by the worthy Magistrates, with.
out which little good can be hoped by the friends of humanity to re-
sult from their exertions.

The Public Recorder of Sunday last, in alluding
to the lioysl Speech, predicted that we should be " congratulated on
the concluSloa of important commercial treaties with Turkey and
Austria, and on the probable settlement of the differences between
Holland and Belgium; that the state of Spain would be deplored
that our relations with America would be considered satisfactory;
and, above all, that NO mention would be mule of the Corn-laws."
Thiiis almost as lucky a guess as that made by Murphy on the du.
ation of the last )car's frost.

RIO DE JANEIRO, DEc. 14.—The 2d of
December being the anniversary of the birth.day of the Emperor
Don Pedro 11., was elebrated with all due honours in the city of
Valencia, and other parts of the empire. The accounts sent in by
the Governors of most of the provinces give very satisfactory state-
ments of the order and tranquillity that continue to prevail in'them.
