they attain the rank of Captain, which is certainly much under.

Thus a Captain at 22, may be a Major-Genera 1 at 53 years of
age. The proposed scale will make them Major-Generals at 41,
when in the prime of life—full vigour of body and mind—best
fitted for command; when the impetuosity natural to youth is
past.

A Letter from Savannah-la-Mar, dated October
25, says—" The damage done in this town by the
late storm, was but trifling ; but the crop cf canes,
which was very promising, has suffered much all over
the island. It is calculated, in this quarter, that the
sugar crop will he at least one-third less than what
was expected. The plantain walks have been in Ire-
neral destroyed, and there might have been a scarcity
of bread kind, had not prizes with upwards of 13,000
barrels of flour, been sent int') Port Royal a few d iys
before the gale. There is now no apprehension of
want ; one of the cargoes has been sold, since the
bad weather, as low as eight or nine dollars a barrel.
Thus the American war, which has for one of its
objects to distress us, has produced the means of de-
livering me from some distress."
Some misguided women and boys have, for some
days past, manifested a determination to prevent by
force the shipping of grain, of every description, at
Montrose. They have also been guilty of breaking
windows, and other acts of disorderly and riutous
behaviour.

Mr. Benjamin Robins, of Dewsley, was first shot
at, and afterwards robbed, by a footpad, on his return
from Stourbridge market, on Friday. The villain
trembled to such a degree, that had not Mr. Robins
been badly wounded, he might have easily secured
him. Mr. Robins is not yet, pronounced out of dan-
ger. He was robbed of bank notes to the amount of
£2l and his watch.
