DRUNKENNESS IN THE ARMY.

Some years ago, when stationed abroad, I penned the
following observations :—lntemperance is the vice of • the
army, and drunkenness the ruin of the soldier. The ex-
tent to which it is carried in foreign garrisons, where wines
and spirits are cheap, and money-plenty with soldiers from
working at their trades, in public employ or on colonial
fatigues, is almost incredible. At Corfu, where there are
six regiments in garrison, the truth of this statement is
amply verified. At night, more especially on Sunday, fOr
some time previous to tattoo, the time soldiers are required
to retire to their barracks—eight o'clock in winter and nine
in summer—it is almost unsafe even for an officer to pass
through the barrack yard, from the number of drunken
soldiers then afoot, returning in groups • from wine
houses in the town, or canteens within the citadel walls,
to their respective rooms. Under the influence of li-
quor, in the dusk or dark, soldiers have little respect for
persons ; indeed, with pates so bemuddled, they cannot dis-
tinguish individuals ; and it is no easy matter, in such cir-
cumstances, to steer clear of drunken fellows ; their gait
is so unsteady, and their path so crooked, that where
several are moving together it is difficult to avoid them,
with the greatest solicitude and caution ; and fly as
quickly as you may, the language you arc compelled to
hear, and the scenes you cannot avoid witnessing, are
disgusting in the extreme. If an English garrison was
to be surprised, or an insurrection of the natives take
place, half an hour before tattoo would be the time to
succeed. It is indeed lamentable at that time to witness
the brutified state of the English military, and the degrading
scenes to which it gives birth. The approach of the hour
for shutting up the canteens seems to have no other
effect than to increase the uproar, make them swill with
greater activity, and yet drunk with all possible haite, be-
fore they are ejected from it, and compelled to retire to
their barracks. In reviewing the annual reports, which I
had an opportunity of doing, of the different regimental
medical officers in the lonian Islands, I could not avoid re-
marking that almost every severe and untoward case of
disease was attributed to intoxication, or aggravated by its
effects on the constitution of the soldier, and, from my own
knowledge; I have no doubt of the general correctness of
the statement. The addiction of the military, more espe-
cially in foreign countries, to excessive potations is with
the utmost difficulty restrained ; indeed, so inveterately are
they attached to it, that it seems almost impossible to find
any effectual means to check it.—United Service Journal
Fur April.

Many of the departmental papers contain details of
disasters occasioned by the late tremendous gales, but they
arc confined to the damage of houses and other buildings, by
the carrying away of roofs and cornices, the fall of chimneys,
&e., the destruction of cattle and other property, and the.
mischief done to plantations by the mutilation or fall of trees.
The journals of the more distant departments, especially of
those next the sea, may be expected to bring accounts of ca-
tastrophes much more deplorable.—French Paper.
The members of St. Andrew's Chapel, North
Shields, have received from two gentlemen subscriptions of
one hundred pounds each, and of throe others fifty pounds
each. A splendid organ has also been generously presented
to the same chapel,— Yarh Courant. •

Tho amateurs of beauty in Paris will regret to learn
that the fair enslaver of Nobles and Princes, the late Miss Pe-
nelope Smyth, has passed through this city with the Prince de
Capua so rapidly, as scarcely to have given an opportunity for
a moment's recognition. The few in the seerek say she i"
lovelier than ever. The parties were on ttwir way to Scotlald.

APPREHENSION OF # Alz!'ir""
WA YNt,-/...•
•
MANCHESTER, MARCH morning fiVeiirishrnen
were cpprehended by the Ma triseer po:ice, orkiutp eion
of being concerned of late in s \,;cral (levers* highway
robberies in different parts of lark4,--1.-Nunreyous artig
des of value, identified as the produ Ain offences of
that nature, were found in their possession, together with
various other articles not identified as yet.
One of the robberies effected by the above vill4ins
on the persons of Mr. Thomas Woodward and Mr. 'rhlrrnts
Grwick, between Shrewsbury and Ellesmere, who rook
From them two 101. and one W. notes, 10 sovereigns, soma
silver, and an old silver watch ; and, not content with this,
took from one of them his great coat. The hie-waymen
most cruelly treated both Mr. Woodward arid NI, utwit,k
but neither are in any immediate dangers ,

- -
Another was on the person of Capt.:Ain MOle, of tho
Carbincers. The robbery took Dace between Altrinehntn
and Knutsford. Captain Wendle fought desperately, but
the ruflhtns were too pow'Jrful, and he was compelled to
surrender a valuable geld watch, silver snuff-box, and other
articles. He was so dreadfully injured by the gang that
his life is despaired of ; so dangerous is he deemed, that
his deposition has been taken, lest he shoald not recover,
by Edward J. Lloyd, Esq., of Altrincham ; one of the
4:oundrels kicked the Captain repeatedly, it is said, in
the most sensative part. Tee watch has been found ots
one of the highwaymen.
A third robbery was on the person of a Mr. Moon, :a hen
on his tvay between Bolton and Chorley. He was, when
attavked, perfectly sober, and thinks by four men, one of
whom seized him by the arms, and threw him down, ano-
ther then placed his knee on his neck, whilst the others
rifled him of all his valuables ; whilst in this situation he at-
tempted to gain a little breath, by turnitk his head aside,
but the fellow who hail his knee on his throat dashed Mr.
Moon's head repeatedly with great violence to the ground.
They then stripped him of his great coat, undercoat, hat,
and shoes, and tore his vest, resides taking from him four
Sovereigns, some silvers and a very valuable watch. Four
men were afterwards seen to pass through the Doffeocker
toll-bar, one of wkom carried a bundle of clothes. The rob-
-13.1ry took Pine at the early hour of eight o'clock. Mr. Mobn
was sf_riouly injured.
Th.'e next robbery to be noticed is on the persons of a
Mitleman, and his son about 14 years old; who were going
m a gig on the road near Disley, IVben five ruffians,
armed with clubs, sprang from the hedge, and most vio-
lently assaulted and robbed them of about 3/. in gold
and silver, a silver watch, maker's name " John Light-
foot, No. 674," w'th " W. P." marked on the end of
the stud, a penknifo, a case comb, a bunch of keys, and
a blue travelling bag, ecntaining a six-hole revolving
cruet-frame (black), a two-hole pickle-frame (black), a
pair of blue mixture coloured stockings, mended a little,
a large white shawl or neckcloth, an a new gig whip,
the stock of which is covered and knottted similar to tz
hand-whip.
There is no doubt whatever that the whole of these des-
perate robberies have been committed by the five highway-
men apprehended this morning in Manchester, inasmuch as
the property found on them has heen identified by three
of the parties robbed. There is also further corrobora-
tion of the same fact—viz., that the robberies have all
been attempted, if not all completed, in the same manner.
One of the gang carries with him a tremendous stake,
supposed to be loaded, with which' he fells his victim,
and failing in that, another instantly cuts the reins of
the bridle or gig harness, as the case may be. One of
the parties seeing a blow aimed at him gave way, leav-
ing his shoulder to bear the tremeridoua blow, which was so
effectzal as to render the arm perfectly useless in defence.
A shirt taken from the gentleman robbed near Disley, has
been found on the back of one of the highwaymen, and a
pair of stockings upon another. They were all examined
to-day, and remanded for a week, to afford other parties
robbed, if • any, to identify the prisoners and property de-
tained. Two or three of the fellows had each three coats a
piece on when taken.

GERMAN AND BRUSSELS PAPERS.

CRACOW, MARCEI I.se—Our territory is beginning to be
rid of the unbidden guests who had assembled in it. The
approaching derarture of the troops of the three Powers is
also spoker_ of; they were chiefly Austrians, a few hundred
and two squadrons of Prussian Hulans; one of
"4:,,ch has already returned to Silesia. The total number
of the troops may be 3,000 men. The Austrian troops
occupy the city, the Russians and Prussians are in the vil-
lages. If the President Wieloglowski and the Senate had
had the courage to comply with the application of the
Powers, the object of clearing the territory would have
been accomplished without the entrance of foreign troops.
They were under the system of terror adopted by the
Clubs, which allowed themselves to utter all kinds of
threats, and did not fail to publish invitateiofnosAreLoothsupgrpupecosirtrts_

to present themselves to the police-office to show their
passports, was not so much as thought of. It
is quite natural that a city lying between the ter-
ritory of three different States should be at all times,
and even under ordinary circumstances, filled with
adventurers of all descriptions ; how much more, then, in

the conjunctures of the day ? Every calm observer had
long foreseen, that the neighbouring Powers would be at.
length weary of this disorder, and would put an end to it ;
of persons of a different opinion, some doubted the resolu-
tions, others the concord of the three Powers, and founded
on this illusion their hopes of the success of extensive pro-
fits, which are now annihilated at one blow, at least in this
city. Before the arrival of the foreign troops, the rioters
had left the city, and retired into the villages in the terri-
tory of the Republic. It was not till after the occupation
of the city, that their departure to Podgorze commenced.
Since the entrance of the Russians into the territory, the
foreign refugees, who had concealed themselves in the vil-
lages, have returned to the city; and thence gone to Pod-
gorze ; and it is probable that, in a few days, scarcely one
will be left. These have already been numerous exceptions
from the measure of expulsion, in concert with the Presi-
dents of the three protecting Powers. Among these is the
whole class of country people. The re-organization of the
city militia will soon be completed. It is intended to re-
ceive in preference natives of the Republic, and to admit as
few strangers as possible.

The city has only gained by the clearance that has been
made. It will no longer be burdened with a number of
indigent persons ; the intercourse with the neighbouring
States will be facilitated by the introduction of better
measures in the territory itself. What would be most de-
sirable for the Republic would be the promotion of its
trade. In ancient times Cracow was an important staple

place, especially for the wine trade with the North. These
sources of profit are dried up, and can be restored only by
an agreement between the proteettng Powers. Revolu-
tionary intrigues are not calculated to lead tv such a result ;
if the city is restored to itself, the fulfilment of such wishes
might be more probable. The little territory has on its
part productions that are of value. It has coals and metals,
especially zinc, in great abundance, and of excellent qua-
lity. It hqs the navigation of the Vistula, and the demand
for coals will certainly be much increased in consequence
of the new iron rail-road, uniting the Vistula and the
Danube. All these circumstances give us the prospect of
better times.

At the head of the Administration we have now a man
whose character cannot be impugned by any party, and.
who has for years distinguished himself among the citizens
by his regard for the general good, and enjoys universal
esteem.

ANCONA, MARCH 18.---. The lonian steam-boat has
arrived to-day, and brought us news from Greece, confirming
the approaching return of the King of Bavaria. The
country still continues to enjoy profound peace ; and the
increasing confidence in the preservation of public order
had not been checked for a moment by the news of an in%
curaion of banditti from the Turkish frontiers, it being
learnt at the same time that a band of vagabonds who had
penetrated to the neighbourhood of Missolonghi had fled
precipitately the approach of the Royal_troops, in order, if
possible, to escape the hands of justice.
