THE NEW MILITARY BARRACKS.—The
new barracks in the Birdcage-walk, St. James's Park,
are so far in a state of completion, that it is expected
they will he ready for occupation in the course of next
week. It is said that the three battalions of the Ist Re-
giment of Foot Guards, at present quartered upon licensed
victuallers for several miles round the west end of the
metropolis, will be ordered into the new barracks. This
will be a great relief to those publicans who at present
have to provide lodgings for these men. Additional bar.
racks are to be erected in the Birdcage-walk for the men
in the cavalry and artillery service.

A young man and a young woman of the
commune of Lexou, in the Meurthe, being attached to
each other, but finding insuperable objects to their union,
resolved to die. A few days ago they went together into
a neighbouring wood, where the infatuated youth first
killed his miitress by a pistol-shot and then shot himself.
Galignani's Messenger.

On Friday an inquest was held at Bridford,
Dorset, on the body of Andrew Cornish, a farmer, who
was found dead on the road, with his skull fractured,—
Elias Mortimer stated that, on Wednesday morning, as
himself, brother, and nephew were driving a drift of about
100 bullocks on Didwarthy Down, they met Mr. Cornish
in his cart, and spoke to him. About seven in the even.
ing, they were returning on the same road, and near the
same spot met the cart and the horse, which was grasing
by the road side. Supposing that Mr. Cornish was in
the cart, witness c lied out, but received no answer. He
proceeded about a quarter of a mile, and saw a man lying
on the road ; witness called to him, bur received no answer;
his nephew, who was on the same horse, got off, and felt
the deceased's face, and told witness he felt blood. They
then both tried to lift him up, and became convinced he
was dead.—The brother and nephew gave similar evidence,
and in such a manner as convinced every one of its truth.
There was found on the person of the deceased, Is 9d.,
which corresponded exactly with what he was known by
his family to have taken with him, deducting woat he had
spent in Moreton. His watch was in his lob, and in a
secret pocket inside his waistcoat were found three sove-
reigns.—The Jury returned a verdict, " That Andrew
Cornish was lon d lead on the King's highway, with his
skull fractured, and other injuries; hut how or by what
means he received those injuries, there is no evidence to
prove."—Sherborne Journal.
CHELMSFORD PETTY SESSIONS, ()CT. 11.
—Sarah Greenwood and Jahn Riiffl-, who have lately so
often figured before the Bench, were brought up on a
peace warrant, Gr. enwood, the hur,,and, having sworn
that he considered his life in danger from them, Green
wood, who is a weakly man, stated several instances of the
ill us ;ge he received from them. 'His wife was in the
habit of beating him, and tearing the hair out of his head
by handsful. A few days before he fell front his horse,
ant was severely hurt : on reaching home his wife
dragged him by the hair of the head into the kitchen.
He soon after went into the stable, intending to return to
the farm : Ruffle came into the stable, and after abusing
him took away the !fiddle ; he saw his wife with a knife
in her band, and thought she meant to do him some bodily
harm, but when be was going away he found that the
stirrup leathers had been cut, and he had no doubt that
his wife did it with the intent that he should fall from his
horse and break his neck. Ruffle, who was his pirtner
in the farm, had long been associated and connected with
his wife. The defendants denied the complainant's state-
ment, and his wile, who is about double his size, said she
had been afraid of him for twenty years, and htd not slept
with him for the last twelve years, she was so afraid to
him.—(Great laughter.) He was crazy, and she was
afraid he would conic to some injury, or fall down stairs
and hurt himself, so she got a man to sleep in the house.--
(Roars of laughter.) Greenwood said he could not put
up with such treatment any longer. Miss Greenwood,
who accompanied her mother, here said, " If you had been
a man, father, my mother would never have been master

,-*--'4131t Us-ins-4;oer: 16.—A Belgian _Cabinet mes-
senger was sent yesterday with despatches from the
Minister of Foreign Affairs to London.
The Dutch squadron is still in the same position''
in tie Scheldt. The five gunboats before Lillo
were relieved a few days since by five others. No
other change has taken place.
The Echo de la Frontiere, a Valenciennes jour-
nal, says Marshal Gerard, General St. Cyr, and
their Aides-de•Camp, who were at Valenciennes
waiting for the arrival of the King and Queen of
the Belgians, suddenly set out for Paris on Satur-
day. It seems that King Leopold's journey is de-
ferred to the 26th, and that he will observe the
strictest incognito.
BRUSSELS, OCT. 18.—Madame Malibran has re-
turned to Brussels from London.

Yesterday there was a Cou►icil of Ministers at the
Palace of Lacken. The departure of their Majes•
ties for France is now fixed for the 26th.

The Courrier de la Meuse says—" We have just
received from Rome the printed work of the allo-
cution of the Pope in the Secret Consistory of the
30th of September last. His Holiness complains
with truly apostolical energy of the conduct of the
Government established at Lisbon towards the En-
voy of the Holy See and the Portuguese Clergy."
In the beginning of this month several detach-
ments of the Belgian army, of all armg, arrived at
Hasselt, on their way towards Stockhem, Maes-
tricht, &c.

A letter from Hasselt of the 15th says—'. It is
generally reported in Limburg, that Prussian troops
are approaching the frontiers, to protect the entrance
of the Duke of Saxe Weimar with Dutch troops
into Maestricht."—Brussels Papers, Oct. 19.
BERLIN, OCT. 9 —Persons who may be very
well informed of what is going on, think there is
some connection between the visit of the Crown
Prince to Munchengratz, and a very honourable
proposal made to him by the two Sovereigns and
with his Royal Highness's tour, who is going to visit
several German Goats. The change in the title of
the Emperor of Austria, which was mentioned by
a German journal some weeks ago, is probably like-
wise connected with those confidential conferences,
though the result may not be precisely such as stated
in that journal. Count Nesselrode is still here, and
is more frequently seen in company than at first ;
the affairs which confined him to his cabinet appear
to be terminated, or at least less urgent, since the
departure of M. Von Novoselsoff.
HANOVER. OCT. 12.—The opening of the new
Assembly of the States of the kingdom, is fixed
by Royal letters patent for the sth Dec. next.
STOCKHOLM, OCT. B.—The Jury who had to try
the editor of the Aftontidueng, for his articles against
Russia, has found him Guilty, and he is sentenced
to nine months' imprisonment.
CHRISTIANIA, OCT. 7.—The cholera continues
with considerable virulence in Drammen, but has
not extended beyond that place.
ST. PETERSBURGII, OCT. s.—His Majesty the
Emperor has conferred on Field Marshal Prince of
Warsaw his portrait set with diamonds, accompanied
with a most flattering rescript, expressing his Ma-
jesty's gratification at the progress of the fortifica-
tions of Modlin and Warsaw under the Field Mar-
shal's direction, and with the discipline of the troops,
and his entire satisfaction with the manner in which
he has conducted the administration of the kingdom
of Poland.
BERLIN, OCT. 13.—The State Gazette announces
that his Majesty has appointed M. Von Arnim to
he his Ambassador to the King of the Belgians.
We learn that M. Von Dietrichstein, on the part of
Austria, and also a Russian Ambassador, will go to
Brussels.

TIIE HAGUE, OCT. 15.—His R.,)yal Highness the
Prince of Olatige is shortly expecied here, to take part
in the discussions on the communications brought
by Prince Schwartzenberg. Last Friday the Prince
dined at Court, after having had an audience of his
Majesty. On the following day the Prince was with
the King for two hours in his cabinet, on which
occasion the affairs of the country and the object of
the extraordinary mission were discussed at length.
On Sunday, the 13th, the Prince had a very long
conference at the Department of Foreign Affairs.
It is thought that the stay of the Prince will not be
short. Some persons think that the King will wait,
at least, for the opening of the session of the State.,
General, and hear the opinion of the Members, be-
fore he takes any decisive resolution with respect to
the mission of the Extraordinary Ambassador. I
believe I may say pretty confidently that it coincides
on the whole with that of Count Orloff, as stated
in a note which was published at that time.
THE HAGUE, OCT. 18.—His Royal Highness the
Prince of Orange arrived here on the 15th.
It is said that the projec;s of law which will be
laid before the States General will relate chiefly to
financial matters. It is expected that an excise duty
will be levied on fuel. -
HAARLEM, OCT. 18.—Out Funds wore yesterday

The following particulars of Captain Ross's Arctic
Expedition have been collected from the verbal state-
ment of one of his crew, and we give them as we re-
ceived them, without vouching for their entire ac-
.curacy, although we have reason to believe that, in
the main, they will he found to be correct. In the
moult of May, 1829, this enterprising officer sailed
from this country for the Arctic regions in a steamer
prepared and fitted out at his own expense. His
crew, we believe, consisted of nineteen persons, all
volunteers, exclusively of himself and son. In the
first season he only reached Wylie Fiord, on the
eastern side of Davis' Straits, where, finding his ma-
chinery nearly useless, he resolved on converting his
steamer into a sailing vessel, and equipped it as such
from the materials of a London whaler, which he
found abandoned on that part of the coast. Next
season he took the earliest opportunity to prosecute
his voyage, and, having proceeded up Baffin's Bay,
entered Sir John Lancaster's Sound, and steered
for the spot in Prince Regent's Inlet where his
Majesty's ship Fury had been abandoned. Here he
found only the keel of the Fury and a few of her
timbers, but, what was of more importance to him, he
found the greater part of her provisions. Having re-
victualled his vessel out of the abandoned stores, and
left three of his boats at Fury Beach, he made sail
for the westward, and succeeded in getting as far as
101 degrees W.L., near the North Georgian
Islands, where, unfortunately, his progress was ar-
rested by finding himself embayed anti beset with
ice. As the season was now far advanced, and he
had no hope whatever of extricating his vessel,
Captain Ross was compelled to abandon her; and,
after many difficulties, he and his crew succeeded,
by means of sledges and otherwise, in reaching Fury
Beach, where the boats bad been left late in the
same season. It appears that during the whole of
1831 they were unable to move any distance from
Fury Beach. In 1832, however, they made an
attempt to reach the sea in their three boats; but,
after suffering many privations, they failed in ac-
complishing their object, and were obliged to re-
trace their steps that winter, being at times thrown
upon the beneficence of the few natives whom they
chanced to meet with.

As early in the present season as they could make
any progress they again started for the open sea,
and happily fell in with the Isabella, of Hull, at
Yacob Teure, just as that ship was about to leave
the fishing station. The Clarendon, of Leith, after-
wards fell in with the Isabella, and saw both
Captain Ross and his crew, who were all well,
excepting two or three who were affected with
scurvy. Captain Ross lost three men the first
year on his voyage out; but no other casualties
occurred. From these particulars, obtained as
already stated, it appears that little in the way
of new discovery can be expected to result from
Captain Ross's protracted and perilous expedition.
He was only able to reach 110 degrees W.L.,
which is nine degrees east of that part of Melville
Island where Parry took his observations, and twelve
degrees east of the extreme point to which Parry
advanced in his second voyage. The accident which
stopped Ross's progress, however, was one which
no perseverance or enterprise could overcome; and
we have only now to express our great satisfaction
that this enterprising officer and his companions have
returned in safety from the prosecution of an under-
taking which appears to be as perilous as it is
manifestly desperate.—Edinburgh Paper.

NAPOLI, AUG. 16.

The Britannia and most of the squadron have
been at the mouth of the Dardanelles, and cruising
about the islands since the 23d of June. Soon after
our arrival there we were joined by the French
squadron under Admiral Hugon, but at that time
the Russians were preparing to retire from the
Bosphorus, and, in consequence of a suggestion
from our Minister at the Porte, both squadrons re-
tired from Biseka Bay for a fortnight. On our re-
turn (17th July) we received the intelligence of the
Russians having gone, with their formidable land
and sea force. On the 6th of August the French
squadron again quitted that anchorage for Youth',
and we for Napoli. in company wirh the Bar-
ham, St Vincent, Scout, and Malabar steiimer.
The Britannia is to remain here only a few days,
when she goes to Salamis, and from thence to
Smyrna, unless she is required elsewhere. At pre-
sent the affairs of the East are mo.t pacific, and ,se
fully expect that the next packet will bring orders
to send the ,5?. Vincent and Malabar to England.
No one knows how long Sir Pulteney is to remain
out, or if he is soon to be relieved by another flag
officer. He is in excellent health, and most ac ive
in his movements. The Rainbow, 28, and Scylla,
18, are ordered home. The Raleigh, 18, is at
Corfu, and the Actwou at Stamboul. The Bava-
rians do not suit Greece : they are too slow and too
poor—have no speculative spirit—nothing in com-
mon with a lively mailtime people, full of cunning
and speculation.—Hampshire Telegraph.

labar was cruising off Napoli; the Champion was at
Malta, where the Pelican was daily expected from
Tunis. The Cordelia sailed on Thursday to the
