DI. Greenly, Major of Brigade, King's Troops, was arraigned and charged as follows-- ' '• With conduct unbecoming the character of an Officer and a Oentlemarain the following instances, vim. . Coont 1. Having, in a series of letters. published on the 2d, 3d. 51s, and 6th of May, 111211,in the Bengal Hatkuu Newspaper, and iiddrissed to the Editor thereof, used towards. submitted to from. and retorted upon, Mr. Longueville Clarke. Barrister, of Calcutta, intuiting especialins, of a nature to affect deeply the character of ' 'any Gentleman. 2. Having, in a letter, accompanied by extracts from letters written to Major Greville, by Mr. ,Clarke. published in the Bengal Barham Newspaper, of May 2. 1012 e, wilfully misrepresented the doodad of Mr. Clarke, inferring‘ that that Gentleman bad been guilty of a breach of promise made by him to . Major Greville; in a letter dated 27th January. 1126, and had violated the confidence repoeed in him by Major Greville, and which be (Mr. Clarke) was b..und to respect. 3. Having in the second paragraph of a letter, dated 13th of .tune, Im9s, and addressed to Mr. Clarke knowingly made a mis tepfesentition, in falsely stating," I 'also Legged he (my informer) would intimate to 3lr. Henderson my readiness, .sow that I was aware of Mr. Clarke's sentiments, to afford the satisfaction such an intimation.seemed to imply.". Whereas the Gentleman referred to in the said paragraph, as Major Greenlee " lefottner" (Captain Courtaytte, of his Majesty's 49th regiment of foot), welt never" beg ged," or authorised by Major Greville, to make to Mr. Hender son an intimation to the effect stated. Upon which charge the Court came to the following decides : Fianna.—The Coate- having maturely weighed and moldered the evidence,. on the part of the prosecution and of the defence, are ' of opinion, with •respect to the first count of the charge, that Major - Gr./rine is guilty of conduct unbecoming the character of ess . oolcer • .and a Gentleman, in-having, in letters published on the lid and 6th 'of Slay, 1624, in the Bawl Mertens Ne r. Md. addressed. 'to the Editor thereof, submitted to, from Mee ide Quite Barrister of Calcutta, intuiting expressions. of a nature , to .affee; . deeply the character of any Gentleman; but the POUR wick him of the remainder of the anent. . With respect to the suould add third count o f the charge, the' Caen are of opinion iligt major Grad& is not guilty. end do therefore acquit him. Sarreace.—The Mitt, having found Major Greville guilty of •. eta muth'of the first count as above expressed. do adjudge bins to be severely reprimanded, in such manner as Ma Eminency the Commander in Chief' May be pleased to direct. • Not approved. (Signed) COMBREMERR, • General Commanding in Chief. mute las BY run LIMIT MM. rue COMILUIDIM.I/1.011111% It is with much coot in that the Commander-in-Chief feels himself compelled to withheld his approval fruits the proceedings of this Court Martial—a Court Martial, from the Members of which, considering their rank in the service, his Lordship bad a right to expect cunfilently a correct diseharge of the important duty which they were summoned to perform . The sentence pew minced by the Court upon Major is utterly irrecaticila. ble with their eoding upon the first count of the charge. HicLoodship cannot suppose it possible that the members of tins Court Martial consider a reprimand, how severe mower. to be an adequate sentence upon an officer who may have been talky of conduct unbecoming the character of au UScer and a Gentleman ; hut that they did' not, netwithetanding, with a very reprehensible ma te onoo, retain in• their finding the prides tams by which the whole alleged misconduct of Major °red& is characterised in the charge preferred apin4 him. ' With this view of the judgment pronounced by the Court (and It Is only thus that it can be regarded by the Commander in Chief) bls Lordship dismisses the proceedings, deeply regretting that they itubuld ever have been submitted to him In so unsatisfactory a form. His Lordship trusts that the result of this trial, sambas it is; wit make a serious impression upon Major Greying. so as to guard. loon effectually for the future from the commission of say intros p iety of behaviour affecting his character as an officer. Majot Greville will be released front angst, and resume the 'duties of Brigade Major, King's troops, at Fort William, until the arrival of Major Bristow. *lava Ammon *bus Dar —Dublin I—Waterford I—Lisboa 1— Brasit Buenos Ayres I—Leeward Islands I.

England at this moment perhaps ranks equd to any, .il :not exceeding, most other count" ies, for its school of painting. The artists are brought into close co-opera• ciin one with anotheroluough the medium of societies and associations, and the m .ny who in early life betake them elves to travel, to study from the valued works of the old Masters, which are preserved- inwther countries —added to which the liberal encouragement held mat to native talent—have combined in giving a superior tone to the fine lots in England, now mote generally th in was everbeftite known. Of the number of names claiming notice, Scotland has furnished not a few, of 'which Mr. Naesmith, sen. now in his Teltfryear, is one example.

He is as liberal• minded as tie is eminent in his profession, and a man of easy access; his counsel, advice, and candid opinion were always at the service of the young applicant to fur ther his views, and direct his studies in the prisper channel.
