Yesterday Mr. Jrakias, the Bankrttpt, underwent
'another examination before the Commissioners, at,
Guildhall. Mr. Co WAN attended, as his Counsel,.
and, after three hours had elapsed in the investigation
of the Bankrupt's affairs, the latter delivered a writ-
ten estimate, wherein he stated his losses, during the'
first two years he was in business, at 953.51. and,
during the succeeding eighteen months, at-56231.
He eoald not account for these losses in any other
way than that he had been selling his goods conai
derably under value. The Commissioners were of
opinion, he ought to be remanded to prison. He
was accordingly • conveyid to his farmer place of
confinement.
At the New Bailey, Manchester, on Wednesday
last, the huntsman of the Oldh,im hounds was Con,.
vided in the mitigated penalty of t 01. and costs,
pursuant, to the AO of Parliament, for living hunted
in Droylstien, with eight hounds, ho person being
at the time with him duly qualified. It appeared he
was entered regularly as the huntsman, yet for want
1 this latter` precaution he subje&ed himself to the
penalty.
Yesterday morning was taken but of the River
Thames, twat Putney-bridge, the body of a Gentle-
- Man, apparently tio years of age. His linen was
marked G. C. Nos. 3, 13, 16; had in his pocket a
pair el silver speattcles with green glasses ; two
pocket-handkerchiefs; one white with a red border ;
the other checked, tied round his head : he had on
flannel hose, shirt, and drawers, dark snuti.colonred
roar, kerseymere waistcoat. lined with flannel,' black
kerseymere breeches, anu dark-brown greatcoat.
No papers being found about biro that could lead to
any discovery, the body was conveyed to the work.;
house to be owned.

A person in exalted station once remarked, that
every Regiment of Light 'Dragoons ought to have
light field-pieces, or flying artillery,4 attached to its
flanks ; and small bodies of riflemen might be equal-
ly serviceable in picking off the enemy's Artillery-
men before the Cavalry advanced.
The want of Sharp Shooters, or Riflemen, eras
sufficiently felt in Holland to render that species of
warfare an obje& of serious attention in this Coun-
try ; and we cannot dbubt, even for a moment, but
that his Royal Highness the *Commander in Chief
(who must have personally witnessed the havoc
which was made among the battalions by the scat-
tered fire of the Enemy) will either recommend to
His Majesty' the formation of separate Corps of that.
description, tor give directions that every Light Com-
pany in the British service should be constantly
trained to the exercise of the rifle gun. Several plans
have already been submitted for that perpose,--s.
Among those that have reached the Public, not one
is to be found which had entered iutos the true
spirit of desultory warfare ; nor have the writers
sufficiently 'pointed out the various ways by which
bodies of Sharp Shakers might at all braes he able.
to annoy an }smelly, by /covering a large extent of
ground without the least danger of being surrounds
ed.or surprised. We need scarcely add, that what
constitutes the Merit of .a regular tactician, would
render a Sharp
.Shooter useless and unmanageable.
It is in the recollection of the writer of these re-
marks, that at the commencement of the French
Revolution, when. the energy of the country Was
necessarily calledlorth in most efficient points,
bodies of young men were constantly assembled iu
the different municipalities ; and at stated hours
they were individually practised at a mark. Rifle
Corps were fermed of experienced marksmen; and
almost every brigade, or slemi-brigade, had a certain ,
number attached to it on service. With regard for
the utility of such a disposable forces especially in
a country intersetaed as Great Britain is, it is so ma-
nifest. that every man the least acquainted with the
. chicane or trick of war must be an acKocate for its
adoption. It is not our intention to enter into the
various plans which have been privately submitted,
or publicly suggested, for the establishment of Rifle
Corps. We know that the want of them has been
severely felt on several occasions during the last
war, more than once in Ireland, and as often as
we met or engaged the Enemy in Holland ; we
likewise know (and the concurrent opinion of some
able and experienced. Officers corroborates our own
ideas on the subject), that' the plan which - would
have been resorted to,• to' supply its deticiency,had we
maintained our ground in the latter Country, would
not have answered ; for this reason, that the light
companies of the Gusfrdieor those belongings.° other
Regiments, are as' ignorant of this species of war-
titre as a regular-bred grenadier would prove in the
exercise of flying artillery, What excites our as-
tonishment the morn (in the general avowal of the
necessity that exists for troops of this' description)
is the total disregard which• there appears to remedy
these defetts in future. If the raising of the pro-
posed Corps should be considered in the light of a
burthensoine augmentation to the 'British army,
those means might assuredly be adopted by which a
certain proportion of each battalion Should be train-
ed, disc relined, and exercised with the rifle. As far
as mere appearance goes, this principle was attended
to in one or our Militia Corps, *During the late war
there were two companies, consisting of men
,Who
were called, Sharp Shooters, attached toa Regiment
of that, establishment. '.'heir dreSs was certainly
calculated to correspond with the subtleties and stra-
tagems-of partial wartiire, ' being.of a ' bottle-green
colour, made compact and suitable to' every purpose
of activity ; but here their excellence ended. The
men' themselves were not selected from the body of
the Regiment,. either on accountof their youth or
because they had been known to be pradically ex-
pert, vigilant, and steady niarksmen. Days of trial
wcre'never given. for the purpose of separating the
awkward from the able soldier, nor of practising de- •
tached bodies of the battalion, in order to discover
fit and proper persons for such a Corps. We cannot
abandon this subjeet (with which we have .unques-
tionably. had frequent opportunities to be familiarly
acquainted) without pointing' out a direct contradic-
tion to the very intent of every other part of the tics
coutrements and dress. This contradiCtion, was
flagrantly conspicuous in the cap, which, instead of
serving ler a Mere covering for the head, exhibited
on the, front a broad piece of shining brass, as an
attracting butt for every opposing rifle-man to aim
at. On this circumstance being mentioned to the
Gentleman .mider whose immediate direetion the
companies .in question were clothed and
it. was cOrieusly accounted tbr by briefly observing,
that when the Sharp Shooters should be engaged,
they would have nothing to do but to.turn their
caps.
Unfortunately for the justness of this remark, it was
forgot' that as Sharp Shooters are seldom stationary,
but frequently retreat, advance, and change ground.'
in the most desultory manner, the back part of the
head would run as much risk as the front did ; un-
less We give every matt of that description credit for
sufficient presence of mind to accommodate the
shillings of his cap . the various motions of his
body:
