It will be recollected that a short time ago a -private
in the Third Light Dragoons, while that regiment was sta-
tioned at Canterbury, entered the private apartment of Se?'
geant Major Gamble, who was at breakfast with his familY'
placed a pistol double loaded with ball at his breast, and pulled
the trigger, but fortunately the weapon flashed in the pan, and
the Sergeant-Major's life was spared. The prisoner was se;
cured, and it was thought would be handed over to the civil
power ; but as the regiment was ordered to depart for India
immediately, and the witnesses would not be able to appear at
the Assizes against him, it was ordered that he should be
by a general court-martial, which was done, and he was found
guilty, and sentenced to be shot. The minutes were theft
forwarded to the Commander-in-chief (Lord Hill), who cos-
firmed the sentence, and placed it before the Queen for keg'
tore, when her Majesty most humanely commuted the sentence
to transportation fur life. On Wednesday morning last, the
whole of the troops stationed at Chatham were ordered to Pt%
rade at half-past seven o'clock, when the prisoner W'4 „parches.
before the different regiments, and the minutes tithei."awnt. -

ST. SOPIIIA BY IVIIDNIGLIT.—Far as the eYe
could reach upward, circles of coloured fare, appearing as l',
suspended in mid air, designed the form of the stupendous
dome, while beneath devices of every shape and colour seer!'
formed by myriads of lamps of various hues. The Imperial
closet, situated opposite to the pulpit, was one blaze of refal
gence, and its gilded lattices flashed back the brilliancy, till
it looked like a gigantic meteor. As I stood a few peer'
within the doorway, I could not distinguish the limits of the
edifice—l looked forward, upward—to the right hand, and to
the left—but I could only take in a given space, covered
with human beings, kneeling in regular lines, and at a certair!
signal bowing their turbaned heads to the earth, as if one soul
and one impulse animated the whole congregation, while ths,
shrill chanting of the choir pealed through the vast pile, and
died;away in lengthened cadences among the tall dark pills!'
which support it.—The City of the Sultan.
RUSSIA. AND POLAND.---liussia has issued a lief
decree of oppression, and been guilty of another act of mrse*
cution against the Polish Catholics. A recent ukar, order.
that all the public functionaries of Odessa, born ;:a the pr°-
vinces of ancient Poland, and professing the Cao:,olic religion;
shall be removed from that city and sent in '0 the interior 01
Russia. This ukase exists, we have re,selyed it to-day, and
from Odessa itself: it not only exists, but it is carried into
execution with a rigorous tyranny. This is only one of the
thousand measures resorted* to for the purpose of destroying
the old faith of the Poles, and making them forget their O:
tionality ! " Writers who support the cause of religion, cesse
to flatter yourselves with an idle hope, and to rely on the aid
of the Czar; his feigned sympathy for your political prin-
ciples is full of perfidy. Such an assistance would, besides,
discredit your cause, even if it were sincere. Leave to that
man his despotism and persecutions ; do not assume the re'
sponsibility of his acts, by bestowing upon him your praise.
and placing in him your hopes."—Univers Religieux.
