IMPORTANT TO ADVERTISERS.

THE STAMP RETURNS for 1840 prove
that THE WEEKLY CHRONICLE publishes every
week a number more than equal to
5 Examiners, or ' 7 True Suns, or
5 St. James's Chronicles, or 7 Britannias, or
5 Spectators, or 8 Bell's New Messengers, or
4 Mark Lane Expresses, or 9 Arguses, or
4 Watchmen, or 9 Evening Mails, or
4 John Bulls, or 9 Atlases, or
4 Observers, or 10 Planets, or
5 Eras., or 13 Ages, or
6 Globes, or 16 Shipping Gazettes, or
6 Standards, or 16 Evening Chronicles, or
7 Records, or 29 Couriers, or
7 Patriots, or 32 English Chronicles.
The advantage to Advertisers is therefore obvious.

THE THAMES 'COAL and STEAM-
DOCK and RAILWAY COMPANY.
Capital, £500,000,
in 5,000 Shares of £lOO each.
Deposit, £2 per Share.
To be Incorporated, and the responsibility limited by Act of
Parliament.
The object of this Company is to carry into effect that
which becomes every day mare and more necessary, vix., to
clear the Pool and the narrow part of the Thames of colliers
and steam-vessels, by a well-digested plan of a Dock and Rail-
way, which will be beneficial to the commerce of London, to
all the consumers of coal, and prefi,able beyond any other
scheme yet devised to the capitalists concerned in its accom-
plishment.
When it is considered that nearly three millions of tons of
coals are consumed in London annually, and that other goods
are brought by vessels which have to wait the turn of the tide,
and run all the risks, and encounter all the delays of a crowded
Pool, to an extent of perhaps three millions of tons more,
there is consequently a larger and more lucrative field for the
judicious investment of capital, than any that has yet been
presented to the public.
The grand desideratum is to be as near London as possible,
to accomplish this object, so that the sinsllest outlay may
effect it; hence a site nearly opposite Woolwich, on the north
bank of the Thames, has been fixed upon, as possepsing every
natural advantage that can be desired for a dock or harbour
for colliers and other vessels, and which, being connected with
a level country all the way to London, presents advantages for
a railway or tram-road, not surpassed by any locality in the
kingdom.
The Dock will present conveniencies for colliers and other
vessels to discharge their cargoes in any quantity, so as to save
the time and money now wasted; and as all the vessels will be
unloaded by machinery, the coals will -he preserved whole, and
not converted into dust as they are by the existing process.
Immediately on the cargoes being unloaded they will be
weighed and dispatched by railway to spacious warehouses
formed by its arches near tile City terminus, and let down by
machinery so as to preserve the whole from breakage or any
other injury.
The rent of the warehouses under the arches will form an
additional source of income.

THE ELEVENTH HUSSARS.

(From the Naval and Military Gazette of Saturday.)
The Morning Chronicle has this week, with its usual
good taste, renewed its virulent attacks on the Earl of
Cardigan, in consequence of a corporal punishment having
been inflicted on a soldier last Sunday.
We shall briefly state the facts of the case. A
soldier bad been tried by District Court-martial and
by order of the General Commanding. in-Chief. Lord
Cardigan bad nothing whatsoever to do with the
trial. The man had been in prison eleven days,
and had been marched a prisoner from Brighton.
The sentence of tie Court-matt a', approved by
the Horse-Guards, arrived at the huad-quarters
of the regiment by Sunday morning's post ; and
Lord Cardigan, who was present, conceiving that it was
his duty not to allow a parade to pass, washout it being
carried into •execution, ordered the man to receive his
punishment in the course of that morning, and then to be
released from confinement.
After Divine Service had been performed in the Riding
School,' the troops were marched out, and the detach-
ment of the 14th Light Dragoons dismissed. \Vithin the
following half hour the 11th Hussars were remarched
into the Riding School, and the corporal punishment took
place.t
It should here be noticed that, so far from Lord Car-
cigan being•an advocate for corporal punishment, no case
has before occurred in his regiment since the end of 1839;
and which punishment, we believe, Vies inflicted during
Lord Cardigan's absence from the corps. The present
punishment, it is also to be recollected, was ordered by the
General Commanding-iris Chief.
We think it is to be regretted that the punishment took
place on a Sunday. Lord Cardigan may or may not have
been in error as to the necessity of not allowing a pstrade
to pass without carrying the orders front the Horse Guards
into effect, or as to the necessity and propriety of taki❑g
the earliest opportunity of releasing a prisoner from con-
finement, even under tire circumstances, as in this case, of
an extended confinemenr. There are, however, abundant
precedents both the army and navy of corporal punish.
ment having been iraftcted on Sundays. On board one of
her NlajeAy's ships lying in port a case occurred within a
few weeks. We know that punishments on Sunrays are by
no means uncommon in our British colonies ; and it is the
custom in a grea, number of regimects to have the pro-
ceeding of Couris-martial read on Sunday parades, e►sh_r
previous to or immediately after divine service
Witn regard to what has been said to the punishment
having taken place in the riding-school, where divine
worship had been previously performed, we may observe
the t valious duties are performed in the riding-school on
a Sunday ; for instance, had it been the last day of the
month and unfavourable weather, it would have been the
commanding officer's duty, according to the custom of the
service, to have mustered the regiment in the riding school.
A circumstance has come to our knowledge which should
also be mentioned. On the line of march of the 11th
Hussars last week from Brighton to Hounslow a man was
tried for drunkenness, and sentenced by a regimental
Court-martial to receive 100 lashes, but Lord Cardigan,
in consequence of the previous good conduct of the sol-
dier, remitted the whole of the sentence.

Further details, with the names of the Trustees, Directors,
See., will shortly be published, and, in the meantime, all appli-
cations may be made to A. IL Steele, Esq. (late Harmer and
Steele), 87, Hatton-garden, London.

The Radical press will not allow the opportunity to
pass fur further endeavours to excite the public mind
against Lord Cardigan, although it is well known that his
Lordship is corsidered by the soldiers of the 11th Hussars
as a most kind and indulgent commanding officer.
Individually we wish the punishment had been post •
poncd, rotwithstanding there are many precedents for the
course that was adopted. However, whether right or
wrong, no man who knows anything of Lord Cardigan
will attribute this act to an unkind feeling towards the
private soldier. And as to the present state of the 11th
Hussars, we can report most satisfactorily :—there arc not
half a dozen men on the defaulter's list.

WATERLOO-HOUSE, 69, 70, AND 71, Sr. PAUL'S

CHURCH-YARD.
HALL AND ALLAN beg to inform their
Friends and the Public that in consequence of a mis-
understanding between the Agent of a large Manufacturer in
Scotland and the principal wholsesale houses in London, they
have been enabled to purchase the said Manufacturer's Stock ot
Mousseline de Laine Dresses—a decided job ! The Fabrics and
Desi;2ns are of the very best quality and style, and are now offered
at. Bs. 9d. and I Is. 9d. the dress, which, a fortnight ago, sold for
15s. 9d. ; also a lot of Cherie de Laine Dresses at 6s. 101c1.,
worth double the money. H. and A. having just received a
fresh impartation of Shawls, comprising Ottoman and Egyptian
Cord, Embroidered Velvet, Plain and Figured Black Satin,
and Rich Chene, Brouche, and Damask Silk, respectfully
solicit an early inspection. They flatter themselves a more
superb assortment will not be seen in any house in London.

with every material requisite in their business on the most
moderate terms, and have now an opportunity of selecting
from one ot the largest and best assorted Stock of Iliobons in
the Metropolis. French and English Satins, Satinetts, Gros
de Naples, &c., in great variety.
Observe 69. 70, 71, ST. PAUL'S CHURCH YARD.

The propriety or impropriety of his Lordship's conduct
in this matter we must leave to the judgment of military
men.

* The Morning Chronicle says :—" To add to the in-
decency, there were 140 men of the 14th Regiment present in
the barracks along with the 11th when the flogging took place."
The indecency consists in the exaggeration of our worthy Con-
temporary, the detachment of the 14th having been dis-
missed.—Eli.

- The Morning Chronicle says :—" His Lordship had not
the decency to dismiss the men to their quarters and to re-
a,semble them to witness the punishment, but, as if the flogging
was a continuation of the Divine Service, kept them in the
place till it had taken place." We challenge our Contemporary
to substantiate this statement, which we pronounce to be un-
true from beginning to end.—En.

COMMODORE NAPIER.
(From the Liverpool Albion of yesterday.)

Commodore Sir Charles Napier, whose exploits on
flood and field have filled the world with his fame, will be
a ntertained this evening by the inhabitants of Liverpool,
of all shades of politics, at a public dinner in the Amphi-
theatre. An account will be found, in another column,
of the spontaneous spirit in which the invitation to the
gallant officer originated, as we!' as of the preliminary
preparations for the festival in honour of the presence
in " the good old loyal town"of one of England's bravest
sons. 'Tie Banquet will, a e have no doubt, be a
most splendid affair, creditable alike to the second
seaport in the world and to the hero whom its mer-
chants delight to honour. Party feuds and political
differences will, for this evening at least, be forgotten,
and Tory, and Whig, and Radical join, heartily and
cordially, in striving who shall do most honour to the
hero who favours them with his company.
The following is a list of the principal parties who
have come forward to do honour to the distinguished
hero :
