MARRIED.
S On the asth of September, at Springker, Captain Chubs
Johnftoiw, of the Royals, to Mifs !rapella Maxwell.
Sue—You would oblige many of your Readers, if DIED.
through the medium of your Paper, you can induce On Saturday morning.at Hackney, Mr. James Lack, aged zos
any well informed military men to align even a pla-u., years. He had keyed as a private foldier under George I. and 11.
fible reafon for withholding rank from the Officers f was in the German wars in the reigns of thofe two Monarchs, and
of the Royal Veteran Battalions. I am convinced, :teen. daendd
,Gietnies rawloWrholfetoin
rehnisiarlakft mth
oonuichnths,eaht the liege . of
that no one more highly efliinates the revered cha- gagements, and 25 fkiYrmillses, be had notg
received accwnoulundi,s and
raEter of the Commander in Chief than I do, nor is boafted till his death, that he never fhewed his back to the enemy.
He *eels
any one more fenfible cf the general good his Royal e flatter
lived himfelf, fome
fhould to the age of Old Par previous
r to his diffolution,thaz
Highnefs has done, by wife and valuable regulations; .
and it is with fincere regret I am compelled to fay,
that the meafure of withholding rank from Veteran
Officers is not politic, and I yet hope his Royal
Highnefs will give it a revifal—fich as it well merits.
A Brevet Promotion is daily looked for ; and I am
I fully convinced that it would give univerfal fatisfac-
tion, were his Royal Highncfs to make no omiffions,t
but fuch as charafter warranted. I might expatiate
on the prefent utility of thofe men, in addition to
former long and faithful fervices—are they not employed
on all occafions—do we not find them at Copenhagen,
in America, the Mediterranean, Sec. &c. ; and yet
they are excluded from any further promotion, either
in the line or their own battalions ; whilli Officers of
Gartifon Battalions, whore fervices are confined to
the Britiffi Ms, are included in the line. Their
being refuted rank was certainly not explained at the
time thole battalions were formed; and I am well
convinced it would be fur the good of the fervice, to
include thofe Officers in all future Promotions—but
Twill not attempt to occupy more of your ufeful
and very intelligent Paper.
Your's, &c.

An overdrove Ox, on Friday, trifled a boy in Fitz•
roy fquare, who luckily in.falling caught hold of fome
paling, and thus Lived himfelf from ferious injruy.—
The animal afterwards ran into the New Road, Mary-
la-Donne, and entered the premifes of a (tone mafon,
where unfortunately, a little girl, who had not time
to get out of the way was toiled, and falling to the
ground with great violence was feverely bruited and
wounded. She was conveyed to the houfe of her
grandfather in the neighbourhood. The Ox was Paid
to have ran from Newport Market, and to have done
much mifchief in its progrefs.

A girl, aged 14, has had, for the lafl fevers pre.
ceding years of her life, fcrophulaus ulcers on her
arms, neck, fide, and breafts, attended with great
difcharge, Particularly at the periods of Spring.—
The dilute baled every means employed, when the
tried SPILSBURY'S Patent Antifcorbutic Drops, and
at this time the has taken five bottles; the (mailer
ulcers are all healed, and the larger ones making fair
advances to the fame favourable termination, which
we are juilified in concluding from her mended Rate
of health, probably arifing from the gond health of
the fecreting glands. Mrs. Dancer, York, will give
further information on application ; and the original
letters may be ken at the Difpenfary, No. 15, Snho
Square, London.—Mr. SPILSBURY is not accounta-
ble for any mixture f )Id, unlefs the words " By the
King's Patent" are inferted on the bill of direttions,
bottle, and wrapper; the (lamp alto (the King's
duty) is printed in black in(lead of red ink. Bottles
ss. 6d. ; bouble bottles at*. ; and larger rl. 2s. duty
inclutled.
