Joseph Lambert, corporal in the 7th regi-

and two fellow soldiers went into the White

drinking with FIVE or six others. IN their
entrance, Cheetham said, {" the soldiers have
got new clothes they look grand; they are
more like generals than soldiers" Corporal
Moore drank the health If George the Fourth.
Witness in answer requested him to &c to his
company. Cheetham rose and said, the SOL
diers were to leave Oldham, but they should
not go without getting add good threshing.
Witness had fortnight before heard him

severely punished for his language. Hit

made into parchment, for reiormers to beat
TO arms - Then we rose up and went into a.
mother room.
This evidence was corroborated by the
depositions of various other witnesses who
also proved that the grossest outrages were
committed on the persons of the soldiers. -
When the chairman was about 10 sum up,
the Jury said it was unnecessary, and imme-
diateIy returned verdict Ct guilty.

Phaddetphld, sept. H..
TIE respectable editor Of the Boston
Centinel, while on the subject of tile
Philadelphia fever, gives vent to Just b
manly feelings in the following terms
"We are in the habit of respecting
the Boards of Health and regret muci.
the daily attacks we see made upof
them. They certainly occupy GROUND
which enables them to distinguish be-
between danger and alarm; and We
cannot bring ourselves to credit, that
men chosen or appointed and qualified
as they are, to discharge the duties of
guardians of tile general health, and
Knowing their general responsibility,
can ever shrink from their duty o, be-
deferred from the PRONUNCIATION Of the
truths hich the discharge of that duty
enables them to ascertain. And We are
not ignorant, from long experience, of
the prolific qualities ofrumor and alarm,
i'm inventing tales of diseases and deaths,
with all the gloomy trappings Of hearses
and collins. and midnight interments;
which have generally found realities on-
ly in the diseased imaginations of the
reporters and how necessary it is that
the Health Officers should resist the in
fucnce of them, in the discharge of their
great Duties"

We have received Halifax papers to
the sotil ult. In consequence Of the
prevalence of malignant fever in some
of the principle towns Of the United
States, and Of the arrival of two vessels
from Wilmington N. C. and one from
Norfolk, Va. with sickness on board,
the Lieut.. Governor of Nova Scotia,
has issued his proclamation, requiring
"every vessel arriving in the harbor Of
Halifax from any port or place in. tine
United States of America" to come to
anchor below Georges Island, and
there to remain in strict quarantine, UNI
iii permitted by the health officer, to
proceed to the town. The people of
Halifax probably take it for granted
that We know best the character of our
own diseases, and as we have declared
b. bulletins and proclamations that we
are afflicted with contagious levers, it
is not wondered at that they resort to
the same precautions against us, which
our own towns make use Of against one
another.
