CORPORAL GEORGE.

(MU • orremeoaaav eatxx.)
ty We base hero !stormed that the hard labour of Cor-
re ierei George, at • the Brixton tread-mill, was dispensed
ad one easy is the last week, and has trout that time
toe •smotissed. From what cause this relaxation of
plise may have arisen, we have as yet no certain
ktv) lea gr. In fact, we never supposed that he bad been
bet• tip to that species of punishment—fur the roper
issation of bard Isheur to the infliction of imprison-
re west let twelve months, formed no part of the sentence,
ac mart be inferred from the languir of the warrant of
2t
cossitsest, of which the followiog is a copy :-
1. • (corr.)
" Coldstream Orderly-Rom. Horse-Onards,
td Sept. 25, 18n.
td - Agreeably to the 25th section of the 34 of Geo. IV.,
of cap. 13. I tetchy desire that you receive into your cus-
s-
lady private Eames; George, et the Coldstream regiment
of Foot Ornteds, sentenced by a regimental General
mi Court-martial so as Imprisonment of twelve calendar
to Mond!, in tbe Hoses of Correction at Deist's, in the
a county of Sammy. " Amtattoan. WooDrasto,
• " ljest.-Col. of the Coldstream Kett. of Guards.
" To the 'Governor and Keeper of the
be house of Correction at Brixton."
Now, as the soperaddition of hard labour to the sen-
a Isere of an imprisonment fur twelve menthe," could
i originate only ic subsequent specific orders, we altogether
clooht the fact that Cot poral Geerge can have been sub-
jrcted to such punishment. That ht r.Green, the keeper,
sbeclit, ex mere mole, hare consigned an individual to
is panislonent not expressed specifically in the warrant is,
as it apprehend. more titan improbable—that the visit-
or leg Magistrates' who are nu parties to the trial or the
sentence, sitould have sancttoncd the infliction, is ne-
tting less than incredible—that the President of the
C..tominattial should hare omitted to express, in his war-
tent of commitment, the full measure of punishment
• avarriee, is not less so. From all these considerations,
We can noly arrive at the conclusion, that the individual
r mp
I whom our communication on this subjeci is de-
prn, has assumed as a fact, that which cannot be
Wander] in troth. Possessing an original copy of the
verent of commitment, we repeat our disbelief, that an
ihdividued, sentenced specifically to " an imprisonment
tor twelve months," has for a single hour been subjected
to cry other species of punishment.
Amster eensation Las not been created at Lloyd's
• ier many years than that produced yesterday, by the ar-

vived by her is Ma nature so disgraceful to the British
teary, that it has coiled up in all minds mingled testi.

Arra general meeting of the merchants was held a
Kingston, wises, on the motion of Wellwood Hyslop
Esq., several very strung resolutions were unanitoonsll
adopted, and a memorial was ordered to be presented t,
the Colonial Seeretary, setting forth the total ineth
cieney of his Majesty's naval forces on the Jamaica eta
lion. The Carnation, latterly's.) much spoken of, hai
arrived at .Jamaica with •011,000 dollars on board I afa
more advantageous employment for her Captain and tb
Admiral on the station, than any reward which the:

protection from the pirates to vessels under the Heidi

Extract of a letter from the agent to Lloyd's at Petra
dated &Me, September 2.1:—" In consequence of th
'timing state of affairs between the Turks and th
Creeks in the Mores, and the various reports in circuit
tion relative to the blockade instituted by the Turkie
and Creek inaririuse forces io these parts, I have th
Lononr to Inform von, for the information of the Con
hinter, and the Subscribers to Lloyd's generally, the
far same time past there has been no hindrance what
miter to a free and uninterrupted navigation under tb
British or lonian nag, as far as regards the coast
p and Romelia, nor are there at this time an
Creek cruisers in this tieighbourhood."
Jew STOCS daextes.--fly the death of Golds:Mit
EN. there is a vacancy in the list of Jew stock-broken
nun there Is a strong spirit of competition amongst th
respretabk persons of the Jewish persuasion for the s

%then the Jews were so abotoinabli persecuted, it Is at
permitted that a greater number of persons of that eel
gion than twelve shall be sworn in as stock-brokers. 'et

as the most mitigate ezarniaatios of character is require

market. The Chief Alagistrao of the city of London hi

greater importance, as a regulation has been riseentl
made for the transeeting of foreign stock business c

rather that all the Jew brokers were dead, than yin

It is said that the Landed Proprietors of the county
