THE ARMY.

(From the Limerick Chronicle of Wednesday.)
Three soldiers of the 28th Regiment were flogged in a
yard of the New Barracks last Monday, fora breach of the
Articles of War.
Captain Briscoe and two companies of the 50th have
replaced Captain Alen's detachments of the '74th at the
Pigeon-house.
The 74th Regiment expect to leave Dublin shortly for
England, to be replaced by the 35th from the latter place.
His Majesty's steamer Dee, of 210 horse power, is
expected at Cove from Chatham, with the depot companies
of the 95 th regiment, which, on landing, march to
Fervnoy. The 58th reserve are to embark on board the

68th Light Infantry, from Newry, wid succeed the 82t1 at

DEATH OF BARON FOYER.—The Vene-
rable Boyer, Professor of Ciinique Chirurgicale, and
Surgeon-in-Cbief of La Charite, died on the 24th ult.,
after three days' illness. He was buried without any
pomp, having specially directed in his will that no funeral
oration should be pronounced over his remains.—Medical

Gazette.
A private letter from Boujeiah, dated Nov.
16, says—" To-morrow the custom tariffs will be put in
force. All the vessels in the roads are preparing to deport,
and it is probable none will return now that tbr: port has
ceased to be free. The fortifications are rising up like
enchantment, thanks to the officers of the Engineers and
to the ardour of the troops. M. Carcenac, a merchant of
Algiers, who, with some other Frenchmen, lately left this
on board a small vessel, has I,een shipwrecked on the coast,
and the whole of the rassengers were massacred by the
Bedouins.

The preposition adverted to on Saturday, for
rescinding the resolution of the committee of the Stock-
Exchange, respecting Spanish 3 per Cents., was brought
forward this morning, but rejected by a majority of 17 to
2. No Spanish stock, therefore. negotiated since the
breach of faith with respect to the Cortes' loans is allowed
to be quoted in the official list.— Times.
FIRE AT LADY SALTOUN'S COTTAGE.—
At nine o'clock, on the evening of the 2d of December,
a fire broke out in the beautiful cottage belonging to Lady
Saltoun on the banks of the river near Inverness. Happily
no lives have been lost, but we are sorry to say that only
a part of the furniture, books, and pictures, have been
saved, and that the cottage is laid in ruins. Who is there
that has travelled so far north, and not partaken of the
hospitalities of this amiable Lady ? And the sorrow for
this calamity will be as general and extended as the circle
of her friends and acquaintance.
The Bank returns, due allowance being made
for the imperfect form in which they are given, appear,
on the whole, to have given satisfaction to the moneyed in-
terest. It has been suggested, however, that the utility of
these returns would be increased if t.,e Bank, under the
head of depo.its, were to distinguish the amount of the
private from that of the public balances, the latter being
of a more fixed and permanent nature than the private
balances, through which, taken separately, the real state of
the circulation can with greater accuracy be ascertained.
It is also held to be desirable that under the head of
" securities," distinction should be made between bills of
exchange
the amount of discounts, representing the transactions of
and all others of a different description, since
the Bank with the trading interest separately, is a species
of information highly valuable to all commercial meinn.
Some also, but these constitute a very small class, thk
there would be an advantage in separating the notes
issued in London from those issued by the branch banks
in the country, because the metropolis may, under parti-
cular circumstances, have a surplus circulation, while in
the country there may ne a deficiency, and the great object
to be aimed at is to adjust this matter truly, and to have
enough and not too much in either. These suggestions
appear to be an reasonable, and to involve so little trouble,
that there can be no doubt of their receiving due attention
from the Bank Directors when the period arrives for
making the next returns.—Times.
AN ARTFUL QUESTION.—Dominico, the
harlequin,
going to see Louis XIV., fixed his eyes on a
dish of partridges. The King, who was fend of his acting,
said, " Give the dish to Dotninico."--" And the partridges
too, Sire?" Louis, penetrating his art, replied, " And
the partridges too." The dish was gold.
