DONAGHADEE, OCTOBER 21.
Sunday evening, the I fith, about eight o'clock. the
sloop Bounty, of Strangfnrd, in ballast, from Dun-
drum to Whitehaven, struck cm a small rock, about
40 feet from rock M'Camon, off Portevogie, two miles
south of Billyhalbert. Guns were beard firing, and
other signals of distress; but owing to the storm, and
the dark night, no boat ventured to their assistance.
Neat morning the sloop was a to:al wreck, and all on
board perished : four of the bodies have been since
found and interred.

It is remarkable, that the clamour against vit.
troops Er burning the civil offices in the City of Wash-
ington, was an afier•lhoughl. Not a syllable was said
on the subject for some weeks, until some ingenious
friend started the game, which no doubt will be pur-
sued with keenness.

Last week, a serious affray occurred on one of the
road.; leading to Campbleton, in the west of Scotland.
Mr. AI KIN, Supervisor of Excise, of th place, and
another officer In company, having stopt a loaded cart
which they met, for the purpose of discovering whe-
ther any whiskey might be concealed therein, a w.irm
altercation ensued between them and two persons,
named McMillan and M'Kinlay, who accompanied
the cart. In the scuffle which followed, Mr. Aitkin
received a blow which terminated his life. The two
men have been apprehended, and sent to Edinburgh

men and horses of the Regiment were taken prisoners, and the
safety of such divisions hazarded, such combats, on the part of
the said Colonel Quentin, evincing great professional incapacity,
tending to leeseie the confidence of the soldiers of the Regiment,
in the skill and courage of their Officers, being unbecoming and
di-gracetul to his characzer as an Officer, prejudicial to good
er.ier and military discipline, and ecintrary to the Articles of
Wai."
Charge —4, The said Colonel Quentin, having the. coin=
Plied Lf the Regiment, the day after the battle of ()tithes, via

such effectual attempts as he ought to have done, by his pre-
mace, and by Its own personal exertions, and example to co-
operate with, or support the advanced divisions of the 10th Hus-
sars, undee his command, but neglected and abandoned his duty,
as Cornmanding Officer, and thereby hazarded the safety of those
divi.ione, and the character and reputation of the Regiment,
such conduct on the part of the said Colonel Quentin, tending
to lessen the confidence of the soldiers in the skill and courage or
their Officers, being unbecoming his character as an Officer, pre-
Olival to food order and military discipline, and contrary to
&be Articles of War."
3d Charge.—" That on the 10th day of April, 1314. during
the battle of Toulouse, in France, the said Colonel Quentin,
haw ng the command of the Regiment, and the Regiment being
on that day in the presence of, and attacked by the enemy, he,
the said Colonel Quentin, did not *luring such attack, make such
effectual attenip:s as he ought to have done by his pretence, and
Ws own personal exertions, to co-operate with, or support the
advanced divisions of the Regiment under his command, but ne-
sleeted and abanliened his duty as Commanding Officer, leaving
some of the divisions, when under fire from the enemy, without
orders, and there by 'unnecessarily hazarding the ',kir Ansi repu-
Wion to those divisions, such coi•sitiet, O.; i•ar• of the said
Colonel Qu'ent.n, tending todesseu t4t confidence of the soldiers

Articles of War."
• 4111 Charge,—" For general neglect of duty,by allnwtng a re•
lazed discipline to exist in. the Regiment under his command
when on foreign service, by which the reputation. of the Regi-
ment suffered in the opinion of the Cernmaiider of the Forces,
and of the Lientenant-General commanding the Cavalry, their
displrai:tue having been expressed, or implied, in s letter from
the Adjutant-General of the Forces on tke Continent, addressed
Major-General Lord Edward Somerset,- commanding the
Hussar Brigade, dated on or about the 29:h of March, 1814, and
in the orders of the Lieutenant-General commanding the Cavalry,
isolated the 26th of February, 1814, such conduct on the part of
the said Colonel Quentin being unbecoming his chargter as an
Offietr,prejudiesi to his Majesty's service, and subvers:ve of all
orderand military regulation and discipline, and contrary to the
Articles of War:"

Upon whickebarges the Court carne to the follow-
ing decision: •
" The Court hiving .maturely weighed and consi-
dered the evidence on the part of the prosecution, as
well as what has been offered in defence, are cf opi-
nion that Colonel Quentin is guilty of so much of the
Ist chary as imputes to him having neglected his
'duty as Commanding Officer, on the 10th of January,
by leaving some of the divisions without orders when
attacked by the enemy, but acquit him of the imaia-
, der of the charge.
" With respect to the 2,1 charge, the Court are aft
opinion that Colonel Quentin is not guilty.
44 With respect to the 3d charge, the Court are of
opinion that Colonel Quentin is not guilty.
" With respect tb the 4th charge, the Court are of
opinion that a relaxed discipline, as set forth in that
charge, did exist in the regiment under Colonel Qum-
tin's command, whilst on foreign service, during the
period alluded to in the letter and orders referred to
in the charge, and as they cannot but consider the
Commanding Officer 'of a regiment to be responsible
for such relaxation of discipline, they, therefore, think
themselves bound to find Colonel Quentin guilty to
the extent of allowing it to exit! ; but as they consider
the letter from the Adjutant-General to the troops on
the Continent, of March 30, 1814, expressing the dis-
pleasure (.1' the Commander of the Forces, as a repri-
mand to colonel Quentin adequate to the degree of
blame which attached to him, the Court do not feel
themselves called upon to give any sentence upon this
charge in the way of further punishment, and they
eonsider 'that any thing unusual in this determination
will be explained by the singularity of the circum-
stances attending this charge, by which an officer is
put upon his trial for conduct which had before been
the subject of animadversion by those under whose
command he was then serving, but which at the time
was not considered deserving of-a more serious pro-
seeding by the Commander of the Forces; nor does it
• appear to have been made the subject of any remon-
strance or reqirest for a more serious investigation on
lie part of the Officers of the regiment.
" The Court Ilving found the prisoner guilty
13, much of the first charge as is above expressed, and
to much of the fourth charge as is above recited, with
the Munn: sc.iiich induce the Court to fees
.th e they
are net called upon to affix. any punishment to the
'last mentioned chare, doonly adjudge, with reference
to the first charge, that Colonel Quentin be reprimand-
. ed in such manner as his Royal Highness the Cons.'

duties of theComisandineOffiere much snore azduou
than they otherwise would have been :"
'1 ant to acquaint you, that his Royal Highness the-
nce ReneNr has beesrpleased, in the name and . .
behalf of his Majesty, to approve and confirm the
riding and the sentence of the Omit. .
His Royal Highness has further been pleased to.
corrsider, that. when the Officers of a corps prefer ac-
cesationi affecting the honour and professional cha.l
racter of their commander, nothing but the most con-.1
clusive proof of their charges before a Court-martiel
can justify Ft proceeding which must otherwise be so,
pregnant with-Ink-chief to the discipline of the army;
and that aregard due to the subordination of the ser-
vice must ever attach a severe responsibility to suhar:,
dinate officers who become the accusers of their rope-
rior. His Royal Highness, therefore, could not but
regret that the Officers of the 10th Hussars, should.
have been so unmindful of what they owe to the first
principles of their profession, as to assnmean opinion
of their Commander's personal conduct, which neither
their general experience of the service, nor their know.
ledge of the alleged facts (as appears from their own
evidence), could sanction or justify,—and which opi-
ninn would appear, from the proceedings, to have
been utterly void of foundation, in every instance of
implied attack or insinuation, upon that officer's coo-
rage.and cooduct before the enemy, as conveyed by
the tenonr of the second and third charges. .
In allusion to the letter signed, by the chief part of
the Officers, and in whic.h.the present proceedings ori-
ginated, the Prince Regent has specially observed,
that, exclusive of the doubt which may be entertain-
estof their capability to Form a judgment so much be.
yond die scope of their experience in the service, it
was worthy of remark, that some who have affixed
their names to that paper, had never been with the
regiment during the period in question, and others
had never Ihned any military body beyond the depot,
of their corps • and it might thus be deduced, that
although the Officers have manifested, according to
the appropriate remark of the Court-martial, a want
of co-operation in support of their Commander's au-
thority, yet those who have assumed a personal ob-
servance or Colonel Quentin's conduct, and those who,
geezi assent, appear, to have acted under a mi,chief
irons influence, by joining in an opinion to his preju.
dice, have all co-operated in a compact against their
Commanding Officer, freight with evils of the moat
injurious tendency to the discipline of the service : nor
did it escape the notice of his Royal Highness, that
tiiii accusation has not been the momentary offspring
of irritated feelings, but the deliberate issue of a long
and extraordinary d:lay, for which no sufficient rea-
son-, or explanation, have been assigned.
In 'this view of the case (which is not palliated
by the very slight censure passed on Colonel QUBNTI v
upon the first charge) his Royal Highness has con-
sidered that a mark of his displeasure towards
those Officers is essential to the vital interests of
the Army ; and that the nature of the combina-
tion against Colonel Quentin, would call for the
removal trom the Service of those who have joined
in it ; but as his Royal Highness would willingly be
guided by a lenient disposition towards a corps
of Officers who have hitherto merited his approba-
tion, and would willingly believe that inadverttegl
in some, and inexperirnce in others, bad left them
unaware of the mischievous tendency of their
ccnduct upon this occasion, his Royal Highness is
averse to adopt such severe measures as the custom
of the service, in support of its discipline, usually
sanctions, upon the failure of charges against a
Commanding Officer; still it is essentiaL that conduct
so injurious in its nature, should be held forth to the
Army as a warning in support of subordination, and
his Royal Highness has therefore commanded that
the Officers who signed the letter of 9th August shall
no longer act together as a corps, but that they shall be
distributed by exchange throughout the different regi-1
ments of Cavalry in the Service, where it is trusted,,
that they will learn and confine themselves to their
subordinate duties, until their services and experience
shall sanction their being placed in ranks and situ-.
dons, where they may be allowed to judge of the gent-.
ral and higher duties of the profession. .
The Prince Regent has been further pleased to
observe, that though Colonel Palmer did not sign the
letter of the 9th August, he is nevertheless, by his de-
clared sentiments on the prosecution, and his general
conctkrrence in the opinion of the Officers, to be con-
''sidered in the same light as if he had put his name to
that paper • and his Royal Highness has therefore
commanded that he shall also be removed to another
corps..-1 am, &c. - (Signed)
FREDERICK, Commander-ln-Chief. i
' To the Adjutaat-General, &c.
The Adjutant-General then read the names of the
following Officers, being those who signed the letter
to Colonel Palmer of the 9th of August, from which
the proceedings against Colonel Quentin originated :
Colonel Charles Palmer; Lieutenant Colonel G. J. Roberts;
Captains J. R. Lloyd. B. N. Harding, S. H. Stuart, George Fitz
elarence, J. Smith, 'E. P. Turner, R. Goecen, C. Synge, Lord
A. W. Hill, Edward Fox Fitzgerald ; Lieutenants H. Marquess
of Worcester, Charles Eversfield, H. Somerset, G. Wombwell,
C Wyndham, H. Seymour, Henry Fitzelarencei A. F. Berkeley,
J. H. Pt e%, J. Jackson, J. A. Richardson, J. C. Green ; Cornet
R. B. Palliser;
And desired them to move forward in front of their
respective troops, and to return their swords. He
then addressed them as follows :
" GOITLEMItt4-1 have the Commander•in-Chiers
commands to signify to you his Royal Highness the
Prince Regent's pleasure, that you no longer belong
to the 10th Regiment of Hussars ; and the Com-
mander-in,Chief enjoins you •to hold yourselves in
readiness to join the different regiments of cavalry
to which the Prince Regent will immediately ap-
point you." .
The Adjutant-General then directed the Hon.
Major Howard to take on himself the command of
the 10th Royal Hussars, until it shall be resumed by
1
Colonel Quentin.

CRANIOLOGY.. ••
NSW PllYSlOGVoutem, SrilitNr pv DR& CALL AND SPUR- •
ZURINI--CONTINUED. ROM OUR PAPER OF SATURDAY.
We gave a shomaccottnt of the introductnry-part
of Dr. SI'UItZIIEIM S Lectores in our-Paper Of Satur-
day : since which he has continued and got into the
demonstrative part of the course; of which the follow-
ing short account k communicated by one of our cor-
respondents:—Tae Doctor divided the primitive fa-
culties of the human mind into propeniities, senti-
ments, and intellectual faculties. The enaterial or- ,
gans of these lie in the different parts .of the brain.
The organs of the propensities lie chiefly in the lower'
and back part, those of the intellectual faculties in
the front, and those of the sentiments at the' upper
part. The external sign of the large developement of
any faculty consists in the largeness of the part of
the head which immediately covers it ; for there is
found a constant relation between the brain and the
skull. 1)r. SPURZHEINI shewed the heads of mad-
men, and pointed out the difference between their
heads and those.of sane persons. He also shewed the
effects which some diseases had on the head.—The
first demonstrative lecture was principally on the
cerebellum, or that small brain situated in the lower
part of the occiput. He considers this as the
organ of physical love, and gave numerous
and satisfactory proofs of the truth of this opinion,
which the public nature of a newspaper will not,
allow us to detail, we shall be contented,' therefore,'
with observing, that such a display of beads, both of
men and animals, was made, and the deductions so
clearly drawn from facts, as to leave no doubt in the
minds of the class of the' validity of this opinion.—
Dr. S. also compared the opinions of the ancients
with thoid of the physiologists in a way that con-
vinced his hearers of the depth of his researches and
erudition. He spoke in the next lecture of the or an
of Iwe for children, and shewed -that attachment-for
off.pring was a distinct and primitive faculty. He
proceeded to the organs of inhabitation, or love of
pleasure, of country, of friendship, of concealment,
of appropriation, and of fear. He shewed busts of
all the various characters which the great develop&
ment of these organs would give, and then proceeded
to the sentiments and intellectual faculties—the or.
gans of Bmovolence, of Hope, of JustiCe, Religion,
&c. &c. also those of the iutelectual faculties—of
music, of numbers, of colour, or the painter's organ,
and sa of others. He contrasted the heads of emi-
nent painters with those of musicians, or mathema-
ticians, and shewed the peculiar differences of each.
He descanted a long while on the head of Bacon, as
being oae o( the best modern times havi; produced ;
sheaved the difference of Shakespeale, Milton, and
of several others, with respect to the Anatomy. Our
Correspondent (Mr. eorster) assures us that the ele-
gant Dissections of the Brain, by .Dis. Gall alid
Spurzheim, were absolutelphefirst scienti tic Anatomy
of that organ ever rlblished.
