" During the last two or three years, do you know of any
and hew many, sentences of death being carried into execu-
:icm?—Since the year 1830 I think there have not been ten?
In order to appreciat,l-fully the evidence of this officer,
let us consider the numerical force of the French army, and
the instances in which the " hinge of their whole system of.
discipline" has been recently employed. From the Papers
bid bef)re the Commission by the French Officers we -ex-
tract Alio Niowing ; it occurs in a paper entitled " Report
:o the Kim; on the ..kdrninistration of Military Justice
during the year 1833 :"

" Ia 1833 the army consisted of 398,281 men, comprising
the municipal guard and the sapeurs pompiers of the city of
Paris; 6,881 soldiers were brought to trial, which gives the
mean proportion of lin 58. But it should be observed, that
in this number of 6,881 are comprised 32. natives of Africa.
Of this same .number 6,831, 9 were referred to the ordinary
tribunals, 2,200 were acquitted, and 4,672 were condemned_
namely, 93 to death, 209 to travaux forces ou aux fers, 140
to solitary confinement, 400 to the boulet, 760 to travaux
publiques, 2,961 to imprisonment, and 7to be fined. Of the
93 sentences of &nth, only 23 were executed-2 in France,
and 21 in foreign countries under military occupation. The
23 executions are thus distinguished :

SMALL Pox.—A Correspondent says—" This
cruel enemy to personal beauty and to life itself (the small pox),
has lately been making great ravages amongst the infantine po-
pulation in the South of London, great numbers of whom have
fallen victims to the virulence of the 41. ease. In one family, of
the name of Matthews, in the parish of Bermondsey, five per-
sons took the disease, and from them it ha.; spread to the
houses of several of their friends and acquaintances, who have
been attacked. by the disorder in its most virulent form, and
now lie in a very dangerous state. From the bills of mortality
appears that 83G children died of the small pox within the
ist year in London alone. It is to be regi-etted that the prac-
tice of vaccination is not universally adopted, and that where
it is, many persons neglect to nee that the vaccine virus has
Lon effect. It ought to be generally known that, unless the

presence of the 'owpock is distinctly marked by the rising of:
pustules, no safety can be expected from the attacks of the
mall pox."
WRECK OF A SCHOONER.—WC exceedingly re-
gret to state, that a schooner, supposed to be the London
packet, bound to Antwerp, unfortunately got ashore outside
.he bar on Tuesday morning, arid soon became a wreck ; but
the most melancholy part of the story is, that the crew have all
perished. As soon'as the cargo of ahe unfortunate vessel began
to drift ashore at New Brighton, the usual scene of reckless
plunder commenced, the inhabitants of the adjoining villages
took possession of the beach, and breaking open the casks arid
cases as they came on shore, filled bags, baskets, &c., and car-
ried their spoil off in the most daring and determined manner.
As soon as this became known to Messrs. Chapman and Willis,
the agents for Lloyd's, they applied to Mr. Dowling for his
assistance, who immediately sent a force, under the command
of an inspector, to the spot. Their arrival put a stop to the
lunder, and they remained there until the property upon the
Leach was secured and placed under the protection of Mr.
Atherton, who acts as agent for Chapman and Willis ; and
who, had he ventured to resist the plunderers until the arrival
of the Dock police, would have been in imminent danger of
hi 3 life. Surely it is time that these scenes of violence and
robbery should be put an end to. A little management on the
part of the Government would secure the unfortunate sufferers
in such cases from these ruthless wreckers, by the establishment
of a coast guard, cr by a county constabulary force.—Liverpool

PRIZE CHRoNomETEßs.—Government having
determined on discontinuing the prizes for chronometers, which
Shall have performed within certain limits during a twelve-
months' trial, at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the
last public trial terminated on the Ist inst., when Mr. John
Carter, of 207, Tooley-street, was again declared (as last year)
alone entitled to any reward ; his chronometer, No. 160, being
the only instrument remaining on trial since January, 1836,
although, at the commencement, in March, 1835, sixty-four
..hronometers were placed in competition, but, exceeding the
prescribed limits, were returned to their respective makers.
It certainly reflects great credit upon Mr. Carter, when we
announce this as the fourth year his chronometers have, by
their uniform and steady rate, under great variation of tempera-
ture, been found deserving that high and proud distinction
which the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have bee❑
pleased to confer. The extreme error, for twelve months,
of Mr. Carter's ekronometer, No. 160, was one second, 47
hundredths.

Here we have 23 sentences of death in an army of
393,281 men—a portion, and the chief portion, of the
sentences arising out of active service in the African
possessions, recently conquered by France. On this nu-
merous standing army we have two sentences for crimes
committed in France, and they are for attempts on hu-
man life—an offence which, whether considered under
military or civil law, would in this, or indeed in any
country, be subjected to a like expiation. So that
this " hinge on which the whole system of discipline
turns in the French service" only deprives of life 23
men out of 398,281 ; and of these 23, only two are sen-
tenced on what we may call the home service of the
French army. These are facts taken from the very vo-
lume of evidence published under the inspecting care of
the Commissioners. And we ask our readers—we would
even ask the Commissioners themselves—is there in this
statement anything to justify the inference, palpably drawn
in the report, to the effect that the French army dispense
with corporal punishment because they have constant re-
course to the ultisnum suppliciunz of death ? In the name
of justice, if we are to decide this queStion as reasoning,
reflecting, and honourable men, let us dismiss such miser-
able misrepresentations, and grapple with the facts with a
view to a final settlement. If our army cannot be main-
tained in its efficiency without the brutal degradation of
the lash, let this he said with frankness and sincerity, and
the opinion, however much we may differ from it, shall
be treated with respect. But let us not be trifled with by
a reference to foreign usages which, on inquiry, are found
to be favourable to the national feeling, and opposed to
the views of those who have called up such pregnant
evidence against themselves. Yet let us not complain of
this. However much we may disapprove of the course
pursued by the Commissioners, we cannot regret that
they have taken a line which has furnished an opportu-
nity, or rather created an imperative exigency, for a full
and searching inquiry into the merits of a question which
we hope soon to see decided on principles of justice and
humanity, on principles alike honourable to the army and
to the people of England.—Tinzes.

CHRIST'S HOSPITAL.—A General Court was
held on Tuesday afternoon, pursuant to adjournment, when
Mr. Tarbutt rose to defend himself from the allegations of
Mr. Alderman T. Wood, who had moved, prior to the
adjournment, a resolution to the effect that Mr. Tarbutt be
not permitted to enter the walls of the Hospital, unless when
summoned to attend a General Court or Committee of the
Governors. Mr. Capple (one of the Committee) moved, as
an amendment upon this resolution, that Mr. Tarbutt's decla-
ration be accepted, which having been seconded was put to
the vote and lost by a majority of 43 , the numbers being, for
Mr. Alderman T. Wood's motion 56, and for the amendment
13. The Court then adjourned.

James Wood, a journeyman butcher, was charged by
Thomas Hinde, a tripe and trotterman, of Saffron-hill, on
suspicion of stealing 53 trotters.
The prosecutor carries on extensive business in the
sheep's trotter way, and supplies most of the vendors of the
articles which are commonly denominated for gentility's
sake " legs of mutton." At an early hour yesterday morn-
ing a slaughterman, named Riley, informed him that the
prisoner had trotted off with some trotters which had been
hung out, and on going into the yard he found 53 missing,
and he gave the prisoner into custody.
Mr. LAING-Why did you suspect the prisoner? Pro-
secutor—Because he lodges in my house, and a short time
ago I was robbed of some oil, and I thought as how he
prigg'd it.
Prisoner—l denies it. I never saw any of your oil in
all my life. As for the legs of mutton, I nose nuffen wot-
sumdever about 'em.—(Laughter.] •
The prisoner's master, a pork butcher, gave him an ex-
cellent character, and expressed his conviction that Riley
took the trotters, and laid the robbery to the prisoner to
avoid suspicion himself.
Mr. LAING—Why do you suspect so? Witness—Be-
cause the other day I sent him home with some pig's chit-
terlings, and he took me in.—(Laughter.)
Mr. LAING discharged the prisoner, who trotted off as
fast as possible.

REFORMED PEERAGE.—At the meeting of the
read Town a
requisition Council
hun-
dred individuals, requesting a public meeting to be called, with
the view of petitioning for the reform of the House of Lords.
The Provost stated that the object met with his best wishes,
but he considered that the time was not yet come when a de:
monstration could be made with effect Several very important
measures would shortly be submitted to the Lords, when their
procedure would be seen, and, if they attempted to • mutilate
or destroy them, then would be the time for a national display
of opinion. In the meantime, however, he thought the move-
ments of the Lords should be narrowly watched. The Coun-
cil were unanimously of the Provost's opinion, and a reply in
accordance was directed to be sent to the secretary of the re-
quisitionists.—Greenock Advertizer.
SHEEP STEALING.—Ort Saturday last three men,
named Charles Kitley, George Page, and Berry Cartwright,
who have for some time past formed part of a desperateHighggaanteg,
of poachers and sheep-stealers, whose depredations have been

before W.
Robinson, Esq., one of the Middlesex Magistrates, residing at
the latter place, charged with having entered the grounds of
Huntley Bacon, Esq., of Tottenham, on the morning of the
20th inst., with intent to steal,sheep ; and the prisoner Kitley
was charged with having fired a loaded gun at a man named
French, the bailiff of Mr. Bacon ; and the other two prisoners,
with two more of the gang, who managed to escape from cus-
tody,we shootingre also charged rtghee bailiff. The
d with having

Kitley with with
three prisoners were fully committed to Newgate, to take their
trial at the ensuing session.
The chimpanzee died at the gardens of the Zoolo-
gical Society on Saturday week, and the body was examined
on Monday. His death was occasioned by scrofulous tubercles
in the mesenteric glands and spleen, with ulceration of tha in-
testine ; the former, most probably, of very long standing.
The lungs were free from disease, evincing that the tempera-
ture of the atmosphere in which the animal had been kept, and
the general treatment at the gardens, during the last six
months, were proper, and would probably have succeeded for a
much longer period, but for the pre-existing disease.

We understand that an amicable arrangement has
now taken place between the master and journeymen joiners,
by which the latter are to receive 20s. a week. Work is at
present plenty in the city and neighbourhood, and there is said
to be a scarcity of hands.—Glasgow Argus.
On the 24th current the mate of a vessel in Leith
Harbour and three of the shore porters took the ship's boat to
go on board of a vessel in the Roads ; but they were over-
taken with a severe gale, accompanied with snow showers, and
the boat drifted past Inchkeith and down the Frith. The
weather during the night was most inclement, and unfortu-
nately losing three of the boat's oars she became unmanage-
able and filled with water, and in this state she reached the
island of May about one o'clock on the following day.
Shortly before the boat got to the island, Charles Ferguson,
one of the porters, expired through cold and fatigue, and it
was with the greatest difficulty that the three survivors
scrambled to the lighthouse, where they were humanely re-
ceived iy the lightkeepers, but in so debilitated a state that
for some time they could give no account of themselves.

WHITE-BAIT.—At a late meeting of the or
rian Society, Dr. Richard Parnell made an interesting_,eb of
munication regarding the occurrence, in the- Frith of dog AO
the noted little fish called White-bait, on which the Lietinz ire"
are wont to feast at Blackwall. Much dubiety hes,t'eoiol'
vailed concerning this fish • English naturalists hav'ebavil
dered it as the fry of the shad, and those of Edinburgi!
overlooked it as the young of the sprat or garveY-h
is now viewed as a distinct species, and called ChlP,e-atedfl”
from its prevailing white colour. Dr. Parnell exhi„,ul,2oles
cent specimens from the Forth, and also from the "joie°
errltWitib a,
and he minutely detailed the characteristic marks of tlistligt 't°
between it and the sprat and young of the con°'ou herri
the entire satisfaction of Professor Jameson, Mr. wilserni:roph
Stark, Dr. Neill, and other naturalists present. Dr. t pOhd
observed the White-bait plentiful at the stake-nets a. bel'ilP
Queensferry. It is likewise common at Kineardine'cruili
constantly entangled in the sprat or garvey-hevringaio. ,(1
but hitherto neglected on account of its diminutive -bait, 6).
our fishermen were taught to discriminate the White- b 030:
were encouraged to send it in quantity to the Editibul 61101
ket, they might find in it a new source of income, east
perior to the sperling or smelt fishery. The 'nest of ti a
marks consist in the very small size, the Whitc-bal,..ia tblc
Forth seldom exceeding two or three inches in iengthhinper 4r
brilliant whiteness of its sides—in the body being all t" lone
more compressed—and in the head being prop°rtio n err
than in the garvey-herring, or in the fry of the
