'Friday se'nnight, a dispute arose between two soldiers
of the Royal- Artillery, stationed at Brompton Barracks;
of the names of James Hutchings and Andrew Fraser,
when Hutchings knocked down Fraser three separate
times :.it was supposed that the last blOw was the occa-
sion of his death, as he never spoke afterwards. A
Coroner's Jury assembled on Monday, before.J. HINDS,
Esq, when a verdict of Manslaughter was recorded, and
Hutchings was committed to Maidstone jail
SINGULAR UNION or Orrices.—M. de Castelbajae,
' who has acted for some time as Director-General in the
administration of the Royal Studs in France, has, as it
appears by the %loviteur of Friday last, been likewise
nominated as- Director.6eneral of 44 Commerce, Arts,
and Manufactures.- In this latter capacity, the arrange-
ments.respecting the exhibitions in the Louvre, as well
as the conduct of otherestablishmellts for the promotion
of the Fine Arts, will be tender his direction. .The union
of two offices apparently so' remote from each other as.
those of State Grooni and State Connoisseur, in the per-
son of this giftedindividual, puts one in mind of an in-
scription placednn the .Royal Academy of Berlin, by
Frederick the Great. That Monarch having assigned
the Academy apartments in the royal :fables, thought
himself entitled to celebrate the double use of the build-
ing by inscribing over the great „gate, " Matsu d Mani."
AFFRAY WITH POACHIERS.—A melancholy circum-
stance occurred at Witham-on-the:4lin, on 'Thursday
afternoon, the 18th. ult. Between three and • font'
o'clock, a gamekeeper of • Colonel :JOHNSON, M.P.
for Boston, discovered three men, whom .he be-
lieved to be in pursuit of game, In a copse between
Carlby and Wytham ; two of them escaped, and the
thitd, on being challenged,. also ran -oaf : the game-.
keeper pursued, and fired at the running man, who ye-
ceived the charge of.shotin his,back and loins, and fell.
He was conveyed to the public-house at Wytham,• and
a-surgeon was procured- from Botun, who pronounced
the life of the mango be so muchin danger from the
wounds, as net to admit of his being removed. The
man stated -himself to be from Liverpool; but it is Be-
lieved that he, and the associates with whoa! be was
first seen by the keeper, were from Ahe neighbourhood
of Spalding, and that ;they were.engsged in poaching.
The wounded man had a musket with him, bet no
powder or shot Was found on him. • • •

By the Kilkenny Paper, it-appears that an investiga-
tion was held at Freshford, on the 23d instara, on the
conduct of Dickson, a gerjeant of Police, and of twelve
4e'ler members of Major Nicholson's Corps. The Magis-
tr.ees after the inquiry, came to the followeng..decision.4..
" It having appeared to the Magistrates this-xlay al-
rent-led, that the following Police Constables, Setjeant,
13tcks02, Setk!ant itollaway ; privates
Ardill,_Thomas Doyle, John.Flolmes, -- Agar,
and Arthur Bible, under the orders of Serjeant Dickson,
and in open. defiance of the pceitis e ditections of their
Chief Magistrates, have conduCted themselves with the
greatest irregularity; we are therefore I. opinion, that
a thorough investigation of their conduct. should take
place at the next. General Sessions for 'the. Comity. It
appears /e us, that Major Nicholson; having-feTtnained
iu the town until the houses were Lleared,' and all. the
contending patties (al contantions often happen at.che
close of a fair) clearly out of the town, his ordering the
Police to peep their Barracks :afterwaLls; .was..a proper

ea
'a
EU".

i•es•
:ter
by

precaution."
After the inquiry closed; Charles- Dickson was or,
dered back in custody to his barracks.
In the course of the investigation, the Messrs. St.
George asserted that there were, in this County, com-
mittees sitting on the lives of the Magistrates; and that
they thought that. the County was.disturbed.
Peter Leoughnan, Esq. said, he was greatly surprised
to hear what fell from the Messrs. St. George. He had
lived in the neighbourhood for many yearseand never
before heard of any illegal meetings of that description.
As to the state of the County he begged entirely to dif-
fer from these gentlemen. He was in the habit of tra-
velling at all hours, by night and day, alone, and with-
out arms, and he never met with any injury, but always
found the people peaceably inclined.
Mr. Lcoughnan was here interrupted by Mr. R. St.
George, and asked was he a Magistrate?
Mr. Leoughnan answered he was not, nor ambitious'
of she-honour—but that he would-appeal to one, (the
ornament of the Magistracy, whose presence gave gene-
ral-confidence), the Hon. P. Butler, whether what he
bad jest stated was the fact or not ?
Mr. Butler- concurred in opinion with'Mr.Leoughnan.
Coat, Dec. 29.—Friday, between the hours of seven
and eight o'clock, twu Jairy houses and a rick of hay
containing about twenty tons, were set on fire by some
miscreants, on the lands of Mount Nagle, near Mallow,
belonging to. Daniel Linehan, and entirely consumed.
The police from Mallow and a party of the 71st, sta-
tioned at Castlekevin, were on the spot in about twenty
minutes after the fire was discovered, and searched all
the neighbouring houses, but without success.

Maltby, the Lodge of Economy, No. 111. celebrated
the Festival of St. John, at Winchester. The Officers
fur the ensuing year being installed, then partook of a
wost excellent dinner provided by Brother FosTat.
''any excellent i‘kasonic songs and glees were sung in
t.h! course of the evening.
