standing beside one of her windows at the time, and the
eff.-ct of the ettnwilty th..)t the glass was broken
at a moment, Lnd her face lit.-raily blackened with the
powder. It:is altogether inexplicable how so many well
were in the warehouse at c.ne time, as we understand it
is a peremptory regulation that no more than two shall
be on any account in these hazardous premise's, but the
reason must ivraain unknown. We believe this is the
second time the mills have been blown up within the last
four years. Most of the unfortunate sufferers have left
females to deplore their loss.

FLOGGING IN THE NAVY AND

ARMY.
The following petition from the City of London was
presented to the House of Lords, on the 17th of March,
1846 :
" To the Right llorourable, the Lords Temporal and

Spiritual, in Parliament assembled, -
" The Humble Petition of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen,
and Commons of the City of London, in Common
Council assembled,
" Sheweth,—That your petitioners, as the represen-
tatives of the citizens of London, deem it to be an ial
portant duty to express their opinion to your Lordships
on any subject materially affecting the rights, liberties,
or happiness of the community, or deeply involving the
character and honour of their country.
" That the punishment of flogging in the navy and
army, which for a long time past has engaged a larg,e,
share of public interest, and excited the abhorrence of a"
classes of society, has been especially forced on the at;
tention of your petitioners by two recent instances of
military punishment at Woolwich, which were speedily
followed by the death of the victims.
" That your petitioners believe that the inefflcienei °f
flogging, for the promotion of naval and military disci-
pline, is susceptible of the strongest proof which fact or
a4,ument could furnish on any subject.
That your petitioners are nevertheless of the
opinion, that the cruel torture, and debasing tendencl
(-4. this system, could not be palliated, much less just e't
by any appeal to expediency—they recognise in ;„
one of those flagrant outrages on the national moral.
against which the best feelings of our common nature ill;
stinctively revolt, and they therefore most sincerely an:
earnestly hope that a concern for the honour of tb
country, and the reputation of the navy and arn337,°,
England amongst neighbouring nations—combined witici
a regard to public opinion—frequently, strongly, en
without distinction of party, very generally expressed---de
will prevent any attempt to defend and maintain a 131°1
of punishment, demoralising and degrading to those tv
award, to those who inflict, to those who suffer, and to
those who witness it.
" That the instance, to which your petitioners %a.;
alluded are only two of many in which death has sPee°lll.
followed the infliction of the punishment. That howele
heinous the offence in some of these cases may ke.,
been, they were not such as, on any principle of PI;
tice or morality, could be visited with capital puniso,
ment even in its ordinary form, unaccompanied by Pro
tracted suffering ; and that this destruction of hurt re
life has been accompanied with a species of tort_s,
utterly at variance with the general spirit of our lavv_e.,
the feelings and habits of our countrymen, and the pr
cepts of Christianity.
"Your petitioners, therefore, humbly pray your TA111„;
ships to repeal the laws which authorise the punisheie'
of flogging in the navy and army."
