ARMY OF OCCUPATION.

(From The Cork Advertizer V the 15th lastant.)
" In an article from Brussels, it is said that a
letter had been received from Valericiennes of
the 2d instant, stating that the Army of Oc-
cupation will quit the French territory in the
month of October. .We have seen a letter from an
Officer in the British part of that Army, which was
to the same effect ; yet still the nieisure app'ears
to us so unwise, so inconsistent with the sound po-
licy which has always guided the Councils of the
Allied Sovereigns, that nothingless than official au-
thority can convince as of its being in contempla-
tion. It was for this reason, and not front any dis-
reTect to the private correspondence front Paris,
which appeared in Tate SUN some time ago, and
to which we lately adverted, that we expressed a
doubt of Inc inaccuracy of its statetnent respecting
the departure of the Army of Occupation. That
Paper is indeed highly respectable, and its car-
respondence manifestly the production Of a man
of talent and information ; though we think rather
too much inclined against the ancient regime of
France. We should be very sorry, however, to
find his information on this point correct. That
the measure would be injurious to the interests of
Europe, particularly of this Country, we ask no
other testimony titan the satisfaction displayed by
all the Jacobin Prints in the Empire at the pro-
bability of its occurrence."

MELANCHOLY ACClDENT.—Yesterday evening,
at 7 o'clock, a melancholy cirvumstance occurred
in Furnival's-Inn-court, Holborn. As HARRIET
SQUIRES, a young child, the daughter of Mr.
SQUIRES, a master printer, and RICHARD ROSCOE,
a young boy, the son of a poor widow in the
court, were at play on the foot-steps at No. 10,
the high wall opposite, wl!ich belonged to the late
buildings in Furnival's Inn, owing to an immense
quantity of gravel that had been laid up in the
inside to a considerable height against it, gave way,
and fell with a most tremendous crash, burying
the two little infants in its ruins. Both of them
were soon afterwards taken out and conveyed to
Mr. DAVIS'S and Mr. Data's, surgeons, where
every s irgical assistance was rendered them, but
without effect. The body of the little girl was
taken to the workhouse, from whence she was
this morning removed home to her patents ; and.,
the body of her little fellow-sufferer was last night
taken back to its mother's in the court. The •
Coroner's Inquest, it is expected, will be held
to-morrow.

Szarous ACCIDENT.-.-00 Monthly evening, as
some of the cockney sportsmen were amusing
themselves by firing at sparrows, front a trap in
the target ground belonging to the Royll Artil-
lery Company, near Bagnigge-wells, a fine boy,
named Walter Mapperley, who was at play with
some other boys in an adjoining field, was 'tutor.
Innately shot in the bead ; he fell to the ground,
and Mr. Chappell, a Gentleman residing near the
spot, bad the unfortunate boy carried to St. Bar-
tholomew's Hospital, Where his wounds were exa-
mined. He had received two shots in the throat,
one over the righteye, and ninein the face andneek,
and lie is in a dangerous stele. Mr. Chappell has
taken the matter in baud, and has applied to the
Magistrates of Hatton-garden, wise have pro.
mised him their assistance ; and we understand
that the parish will defray the expellee attending
the prosecution, and put, dU cud to this dangerous
aniuseulcut.
