SMITH V. NISI lIERSOLE.

Judgment was postponed in this little motion, which
stood i❑ the paper to be disposed of to-day, in cons--quer ce
of the absence of the plaintiff's Counsel, his S.,licitor
alleging that tbat Learned C unsel was very desirous of
b• ing present when judgment was pronounced. The
simple question here, we believe to be, whether ,he plain-
tiff, being in contempt, can take any step in the cause
itil after he has purged himself of such contempt.
The LORD CHANclu.ots proceeded to hear the bank-
rupt petitions.

There was a good deal of discussion last
night on the subject of flegging soldiers. S r GEORGE
:MURRAY was the chief advocate of flogging, which he con-
tended was indispensible to the discipline of the army.
The tone of Sir GEORGE Was last night mid and selelm d.
We could not help calling to mind a srech delivtrel by
him several years ago, in a very different tone. Sir
GEORGE then, in the true King Camhyses's vein, calltd oa
the British soldiers, by the memory of their victoiies over
the French, to resent the attempts of these who woul I
thrust upon them the practices of their conquered foe. Ac-
cording to Sir GEORGE, in those high and p slmy do'. s, the
distinction of being flogged was dear to the English sol-
dier. He trod the ground last night, and seem-d to think
the soldiers might be induced to part with the privilege of
being flagged, if the officers could preserve disci9line with-
out it. It does seem odd, that if men can be fund to do
ill manner of disagreeable labour without flogging, means
cannot be found to induce soldiers to discharge their duty
without it. May not the knowledge that in the English
army a man is liable to be treated like a beast, have the
effect of preventing men who have any reseect for them-
selves from entering it, and thus the very punishment
itself be the means of filling the army with men who have
little command over themselves, and cannot be kept in
order without flogging ? The army has become much more
respectable than it used to be. May not this he in a good
measure from flogging going into disuse ?—Morn. Chron.
ARRIVAL OF VICE-ADMIRAL SIR PUL-
TENEY MALCOLM'S SQUADRON AT COVE —(Fr nn Cle
Cork Reporter of Saturday.)—This manning the follow..
ing ships of war, under the command of Sir PULTENEY
MALCOLM, entered our harbour, and came sal: ly to an-
chor; viz, the Donegal, 86, Captain FAtzsetAw ; the
Jupiter, 50 ; the Castor, frigate ; Nimrod, 30, Lord
EDWARD RUSSELL; Orestes, 20, Captain GLascoex. ;
the 7'rinculo, Captain BOOTH ; the Messenger, steamer,
of 200 horse power ; and Hanioaze, lighter. The Do-
negal, Castor, Nimrod, and Trinculo, left Plymouth
Sound Wednesday night. The Orestes was ordered to
wait the arrival of post, and sailed the foaming morning,
and, though the squadron had the start of the Orestes
by twelve hours, the latter overtook them about sixty
miles south of our harbour, and was the first ship
in port. There are three hundred marines embarked
on board the squadron. The Jupiter has on board
the 14th regiment, which is to embark at Cave in a
day or two. Various rumours are afloat as to the
object of this visit; but as nothing has transpired that
would authorize us to state with certainty what it is, we
abstain for the present front giving any opinion on the
point. One thing appears certain, that the fleet will not
speedily depart, as a temporary hospital has, we under-
stand, been ordered to be erected at Haulhowline, in tine,
event of any of the men being attacked with cholera dur-
ing their stay. The hour at which our messenger reached
town with this intelligence being too advanced to permit
our making any further remarks on the subject, we can
only say that Sir PULTENEY MALCOLM is welcome to our
harbour, and that the longer be tarries with us the more
gratifying will it be to our community. Major. General
Sir GEORGE BINGHAM left town this morning to wait on
the Admiral at Cove.

BLEEDING USEFUL IN THE CIIOLERA._..
A gentleman in this neighbourhood last week received a
letter from an officer in Ireland, stating that a man bring•
ill of the cholera, a Captain in his regiment not be-
lieving the disease to be contagious, accompanied the
Doctor, and was so much shocked with the appearance of
he patient that he was himself attacked, and in a few
hours appeared to be a in very dangerous state. Aconsul-
tation was held, and one of the medical gentlemen recom-
mended

A great number of men are employed daily
in Kensington-gardens, under the super intemlence of Mr.
SICEDDEN, ploughing, and burning the turf, and preparing
the ground for the lime and manure that it is to be dressed
with, preparatory to its being sown with hay-sced, and
planted with shrubs similar to Buckingham-gardens. Mr.
SIIEDDEN has proposed to Government to make a sewer to
take off the foul water from the neighbourhood of B iys-
water instead of emptying itself in the ornamental water
in the Gardens. By this means the water would be at
all times pure. In repairing the fishing temple which
was built in the Gardens by GEORGE 11., they found are
extensive vault underneath ; there was no other entraros
to it but by taking up a stone in the ttior. They found
in it two fishing rods, three chairs, a table, 6,4(1 two empty
bottles.

WATERFORD, JULY 19.—The treacherous
disease is progressing with steady and fatal staps over all
parts of the city ; and while we acknowledge it a deserved
chastisement for our manifold offences, we trust that,
merciful Providence will soon relieve us from its afflicting
ravages. Already has its dire operati in produced a salu-
tary change in the lives of many of our bithsrto unr,flect-
ing friends and fellow-citizens.— Waterprd Chronicle.
SECOND ARREST OF THE PROPRI7eTOrt
OF THE TIPPERARY FREE PRRSS.—A high Tory print
has affirmed that the pr.-ss woubt be incltl.ten in the ex-
traordinary prosecutions arising out of the ;„gitation of the
question ot tithes in this country, and 54 would sees that
the experiment is to he firer tried wean that portion of it
hitherto ardently devoted to the support ot the measures
of a Whig Government. H
Ott Monday Mr. ACKETT was
arrested for the second time within the short space of four
days, under a warrant from the Chief Po;i;,, Offi,e,
in
Dublin, signed FREDERICK DAaLEY, and compdled to
enter into recognizancts in the sum of 4001. to appe a for
trial at the next Dublin Comrn,ssion. The public will
not be a little astonished to learn that the charge in this war-
rant against Mr. Ilacicrrx was fir publishing, on the 13th
of June last, in the Free Press, an advertisement of the
Clonmel Independent Club, respecting tithes and other
church exactions, duly authenticated by the names of the
Chairman and Secretary of that body; and which, if ne-
cessary, would readily receive the signatures of the seve-
ral hundred members of the Club, by whom it was passed
unanimously.— Tipperary Free Press.
THE KILKENNY TRIALS.—The Jury who
tried JOHN RYAN, the first of the Carrickabock men put
on trial at the present Assizes, were discharged without
coming to a verdict, on Saturday morning, in ctineiluenoe
of the
six
illnesse
against of
six one,
‘hu t the remotest
ofvi
tthoe Jurors,
possibilityßi of Theytlieir
were
agreeing. After they were discharged a second Jury was
impannelled, and a man named Voss arraigned on the
same charge. The Judge adjourned the Court at twelve
o'clock on Saturday night, until Monday (this) morning,
leaving the Jury in their room. They were not discharged
yesterday morning when the cosehes kit Kilkenny. They
may, however, have been discharged yesterday. There
was no probability of their agreeing to a verdict.—Dublin
