The following official Circular has been issued
from the War-Office, signed " W. Merry," and
addressed to the Adjutants of Militia :

(CIRCULAR.)
Sin,—lt appearing expedient, with a view to secure the sub-
sequent services of Militia-men as may enlist into his Majesty's
regular Forces, or those of the East India Company, or into
the Marines, or Royal Artillery, during the period of their
engagement in the Militia, that the expiration of the respective
periods of service in the Militia should be known to the Corps
of segular Cavalry, Infantry, divisions of Royal Marines,
Royal Artillery, and East India Company's troops, into
which the men may have enlisted. lam directed to con-
vey to you the Secretary at War's desire that when Militia-
' men who have so enlisted, and who have been given up
to the Militia, shall have completed the period of their engage-,
ments in that force, you will take care to apprise the Command-
ing Officers of the corps into which they had enlisted of the
dates at which their services in the Militia shall have expired,
intimating also to the men themselves,
_that if they fail to deli-
ver themselves up to some Military Officer, they will be pro-
ceeded against as deserters from their respective corps into
which they had enlisted.
The Notification to the Commanding Officers of Regiments
of Cavalry and Infantry, and to the Commandant of the East
India Company's Depot at Chatham, may be made through
this Office, by unsealed letters ; those for the Marines to the
Admiralty, and those for the Royal Artillery to the Board of

stant, for Bombay.

According to a letter from Corfu, a Journal is
about to be printed at the seat of the Greek Go-
vernment, under the extravagant title of :4 The
Trumpet (f Christendom, or the Wish of Nature."
We are afraid that the contents will too much
correspond with the title, and that we shall find
more of sound than sense in this Hellenic Ga-
zette.

At a period when the public anxiety has been
awakened, almost daily, by reports in the News-
papers, of. flagitious acts of violence committed
upon the persons or the properties of the members
of the Established Church, it seems to be but
an act of political prudence and justice, as it may
also be of private consolation, to state events,
whenever they can be duly authenticated, which
justify opposite indications. Of such a kind the
following occurrences in the County of Galway
seem to be :—" When the Bishop of the diocese of
Clonfert returned lately to Clonfert, after a pe-
riod of residence in England, occasioned by his
Parliamentary attendance, and protracted by do-
mestic affliction, he found in the front of the por-
ter's lodge a large fire burning, surrounded by
a considerable number of tenants and labourers,
to congratulate his Lordship's return. Though
upon the bog of Clonfert have been planted with-
in these few years, and duly registered, 300,000
trees by his Lordship's son, the Rector of
the parish, during his absence, not an instance
can be traced of a single excision of a tree, but
they are all growing vigorously in the order
in which they were at first planted. Hither-
to in the diocese has been no instance whatever
of the burning of any tithe, or destroying it in
any place or state, or of obstruction to the
valuing, collecting, and conveyance of it. No
threatening notice sent, except in a few in-
stances a notice to draw may be deemed such—
no violence has been committed on the person
of a clergyman, or a proctor, or tithe farmer.—
And the calm and moderate spirit of the Resolu-
tions suggested, and passed almost unanimously,
without any rancour of debate, at Loughrea,
on the 23d of November, where a Meet-
ing of a great majority of the landed proprie-
tors of the county assembled, in obedience to a
summons of the Sheriff, upon the subject of the
prevailing agricultural distress, may surely be
received as a proof that the unfortunate delu-
sions, which have occasioned such calamities, and
awakened such apprehensions in other counties
of Ireland, fortunately do not infatuate, at pre-
sent, the inhabitants of the county of Galway.—
