Pitoaro-rioirs IN rtia Aitstr.—'I‘he deaths of the General oiiicers which have just taken place will involve several new ap- pointments and a large amount of promo- tions in the army. By the de_ceasc of Sir‘ Colin I-Ialltett, the Governorshtp of Chelsea Hoe ital and the colonelc of the doth Regiment, and by that of ord_I-Iardinge the coloaelcy of the 57th ltegtmenli "9 rendered vacant. Coupled with the recent deaths of Lieutenant-General Gordon and Genenl Sir H. F. Campbell the decease of Sir Coliri I-Iallrett also creates a vacancy on the ﬁxed establishment of General oﬁcers, to which Colonel William Booth, half-pay -llst Regiment, the senior ‘on the Iist—an oﬁicer who as served in the Nepaulese and Burmese wars—will suc- ceed; Lieutenant Colonel Raymond, now in command of the depot battalion at Win- cheater, will become Colonel; and Major Bradsliawe, on the stall‘ in .-Xnstraliu, Lieutenant Colonel. These deaths will

' also cause the promotion of Lieutenant-

General Aylmer to be General, and Major- General Cochrano to be Lieutciiant-(x'eiie- ral, by which the latter otiicer will have to resign the command of the Dublin district. The Duke of Cambridge will also probably have an opportunity of placing three officers on the list ofthose receiving rewards for distinguished services in place of Sir Henry Somerset, who will be gazetted to-moi-row, in all likelihood, to the Colonel- cy ofthe 25th Regiment, vice Sir H. F Campbell; and of the two oﬂicers to be appointed to the 45th and 57th Regiments. It is, we beiieve, usual to promote the Lieutenant-Governor of Chelsea Hospital to the Governorship when an opportunity arises, and the present Lieutenant-Govern- or, Sir Edward Blakcney, will therefore he most likely to have the appointment. The next death among the General oﬁicers will, with we of Lord Hardings and Major Gene aines Jones (which occurred on Monday). make Colonel Greavcs, late Dauty Quarter-master~General in Ireland, a ajor-Goneral.—Glob¢, Sept. ‘.35. rue PRINCIPALITIEB.

A letter from Galatz of the 9th says- "The commission on the frontiers of Bes- sarithia has traced the frontier train the sea to Belgrade, where it arrived last evening. This having been done in the course of a week, it may be hoped that the whole frontier can be traced by the end of the month, or by the beginning of October. The commissioners are to leave to-morrow without stopping at Boigrad. The frontier was traced by means of an ordinary plough, which accompanied the commissioners. The dispute relative to Bolgrrid has not yet been terminated, and the commissioners

CORRESPONDENCE

Ma. Eim-oa:—

Permit me to make a few remarks through the columns of your intelligent and widely-cir- culatcd They are not written for the purpose of oﬂendiug any person. but simply for the purpose of endeavcriug to check public abuses ot'a grave nature.

You, no doubt, in common with others, have read certain communications which were pub- lished in the Islander souie time ago, the first being signed “Simplex." the second (it reply to the first), "Complex” ; and, doubtless, ou could not but despise the motives, deducible from the writin s, which actuated the compo- sers. It is like y. too, you were surprised at the lack of discernment in the publisher who introduced such ' to the columns of his

Any well-wisher of his country would like to see its leading journals maintain their dignity, but surely, a journal forfeits this when it untolds its pages for the rece tion 0 such communications as I have just re erred to.

From the strife and unpleasant feeling which these have created, the writers should learn, that there is much impropriety in recurring to the public press to avenge an imaginary or real wrong of it private nature. It should teach them, and others :slso.uever to have recourse to such channels, but to steer clear of such an un- warrantable course.

t\.lrlCll blame attaches to the person who cou- trib-rted the first, but evcrla:-ting odium cleaves to him who contributed the second article. This is tho first time I have taken my pen in hand to write on this subject, and would not do so now, had not " Complex ” been so maliciously inveterate, that he could not let the minister of the “ hill church " receive an address lroin his congregation and reply to the same, without giving vent to more of his unprovoked spleen in circulars; and had not the paper referred to put an untimely stop to the defences of the at- tacked party. Any paper that would publish such foul calumnies a inst any gentleman, especially a minister ot the goepel,nnd then close its columns against redress, is uuwortli of the support of any, especially those who ca l themselves b the name of Christ.

I cannot picture in my mind an actuisre etu- pidly aud.icious—more sacrilegious-—or of anv act which would contain as much iusolent ef- froutery as that which was committed against the minister of the “hill church” by the writer who then subscribed himself"Complex." What were his motives for writing such. I need not stop here to enquire. Perhaps-

“ ‘Twas envy ﬁlled his heart with gall and

What made the man of envy what he was. Wiis worth in others, vilsness in himself." Or perhaps slander ﬁlled his-

" nicuth with lying words-— Slander, the fnuli-st wh-Alp of sin. The man In whom this spirit entered was undone. llis tongue was set on fire of hell. his heart Was hlackasdeath, his leg» were faint with haste 'l'o propagate the lie his soul had framed;

Ilia pillow was the peace of families Destroyed, the sigh of innocence reproaclied. llroken friendship and strife of biotherhcods. Yet did he spare his sleep. and hear the clock Nuiiilier the midnight watches, on his bed, Devising mischief more; and earl rose,

And made most hellish meals of good men's

names. ’ ,

llis stupidity appears from his supposing, that it minister would write the article signed ‘ Simplex," about the settlement (and part of his congregation). in which he resided. Sta- pidityl may I call it‘! No. it looks more like

esi n. _ To me it appears that ho had long me- ditated reven s for something. and was anxious- ly waiting or an opportunity to wreak his wages--cu, for no sooner did “Simplex" ap car than he anxiously seized the opportunity ; ,hence we see his haste——written between “ 9 p.m. and 7 the following morniu ."

The audacity of the act is evident. No per- son possessing a tithe oi prudence or christian feeling would have acted so unmauly a part. To know that it is saerilegious, it needs only to read. It breathes an utter disregard for all that is saered—for all that is reli ‘one; and to let the author ofit go uupuuialie would he a libel on the professors of christianity, and those who regard character I think any per- son who valuee the ordinances ol religion, and clutractcr, in reproviiig such, can scarcely help hein moved to severity. Indeed, in this case, in t a light I view it, coolness would be a crime : yes. as much so as it would have been for Paul not to have rcproved sharply Elymas

In his letter to the minister is contained s 8004 deal of low sl_iu_se, to reply to which, "Wild b_0._iu my opinion, beneath the dignity of it minister of the gospel, it being oulya reﬂection of the writer's own tainted mind. in the secpnd plt‘l'ﬂg‘l’Iph. he ironically intimates that It Mr. C.

9ll°‘f°. never pretended to belong to the Pres- byterian body. It is a pity he should you begin to mangle the ﬁgures of speech, after so ' h com ositioii. t the commencement of the third para- graph he says, (referring to the re ly,) “the character ot it minister. you tray remark, should be above suspicion. ’ In the reply no such remark is made. _It must therefore have been coined by Mr. B. himself, to answer some purpose. In the next sentence (which is a real jumble of nonsense.) behold the use he mllkel 0f It ;~l, the writer am it suspicious character. But the most ludicrous part of this sentence is.when he represents the “older” as having a son who was a "presenter" in Cavendish Church. And wlint did he resent?

If however, this and others be t pographical errors, he should have corrected t em with his pwn pen before distributing the circulars. It is to me perfectl astonishing. that a man who has seen so nine of the world. and “ may have had the privilege of hearing " so man ublie pzayers, (pot sayin he embraced,) s oiild ve_been ignorant 0 this bit of education.

It is obvious to all who understand English, that Mr B's communications contain asser- tions_ witlioat arguments, and denials without roving the contrary; and that each of thorn is devoid of logic, reason,sense, and politeness, and I do hope that the ublic will not be bored with any more " rsjolniiers.” Fruits.
