THE ARMY. /it understand that - Mr. KNIGHT, the Inspector. &oral of Army Hospitals, Superintendant of the Staff, and Comptroller of H os p ital Acc o unts , Medical called upon all 'the Regimental Surgeons in the p g dorn for an account of the history and treatment i ll the diseases which have prevailed in their re •ve regiments for the List two years; This will Goan a mple fund of . useful experience in military . 0 , which, it is "s upposed, Mr. KNIGHT will soon Adore the t public, in an improved shape, when ly revised and sele cted. This mode of pro. gating useful medical facts and observations °b from his Majesty's service, was first adopted, believe, by Dr. TROTTER, late Physician to the r o t, who some years ago published several volumes medical experience in the Royal Navy, under the title of Maficina Nautica. Of the great utility of a wor k o f this nature, not only to the military practi tioner, but to the community, no doubt can be enter- Line d, an d we are happy that a man of such an ac. t i v e mind as Mr. KNIGHT has it so much in his power to fit soc iety, by publishing a work of this nature. bene ~ l i k r e hope the same example will be followed by the phy;ician and Surgeon General, who have the con trol of the Army Physicians and Surgeons to the F a ces, and are equally empowered to call upon the practitioners employed in their respective depart . rent) for tbr r•sult of their labours in the service of their country. The 2d battalion of the sth Regiment of Foot, will T orch into Oxford, in two divisions, on Friday and Saturday nest, on their route from Whitchurch to fetensea Barracks. • bENERAL ORDER. Hotse Guards, November 4. A General Court Martial was lately held on Lieu tenant WILLIAM Urroa, of the 16th Light Dtagoons, upon the under-ment1^"......-ed tharge, viz. . For having, on or about the 27th day of March, lel*, ptse. paper In a public billiard-room, at Hythe, purporting, that Major Yonge, his superior officer, then Brigade Major at ythe, was a scoundrel, a coward, and a disgrace to his profession. being contrary to his duty 16 an o ffi cer, and to the prejudice of good order ad military discipline." Upon which charge the Court came to the follow ing decision : " The Court, after having most maturely deliberated upon, weighed, and considered the whole of the evidence and matter that has been adduced in support of the charge exhibited against Lieutenant William Upton, of the 16th Light Dragoons, toge titer with what be the prisoner has offered in his defence, is of seise, that he the said Lieutenant William Upton is guilty of writing, and is likewise guilty of having caused pt.blicity to be given to the paper which was posted in the public billiard-room at Hythe; though he did not actually himself affix the paper to the walls of the room, yet, under these circumstances,the Court eonsiden the prisoner equally amenable and responsible for the act of the paper being posted; mid it therefore sentences the afore id Lieutenant Willien/Upton, of the 16th Light Dragoons, to be CASHIERED. " But the Court; On a reference to the very severe and unjus lifiabie language made ase of by Major Yongu, to the prejudice of Lieutenant Upton's character and honour as its officer and a gentleman, and which expressions he, Major Yqnge, refused to disavow, regrets that no discretion is left td It in the present in stinct to adjudge a milder sentence; and having maturely taken felo consideration the provocation of Major Yonge, and also the very high testimonials which he, Lieutenant Upton, has produced in favour of his character, not one; as an officer, but also as a peaceful and amiable member of society, it therefore humbly begs leave to recommend Lieutenant Wilf.ant Upton to his Majesty's molt titans clemency. .14 Majesty having considered the offence of which the pri- KON has been found guilty to be so flagrant a breach of subordi mice and military discipline, that it was not possible, without prejudice to the service, to give effect to the recommendation of tie Court ; and having therefore commanded that the'Sentemc Mail be carried into effect, his Royal Highness the Commander: la-Chief has directed, that the foregoing charge, together with the opinion and sentence of the Court, shall be read at the head of every Regiment, and mitered in the Orderly Books." &Crain Martial commenced its sittings yesterday at Chelsea, for the trial of a (taartermaster in the East London Militia. The charges against him were, for making fraudulent overcharges on certain regi mental necessaries to the non-commissioned officers ; and privates of his corps, and for unofficer4ike and ungentlemanly conduct, in getting drunk with some of the non-commissioned officers and privates of his Regiment. The Court sat till three, and adjourned to this day. Monday and Tuesday, last week, a Court Martial was held at Spitheal, on Mr. .James Rutherford, Surgeon, of his Majesty's ship IRIS, for concealing the design of a marine, aimed at Captain. Towsat's cha. racter, and for his conduct since the 26th of March last—He was acquitted.—Sattqday a Court Mar -401 was held on Mr. Solomon ffelph, Boatswain, of his Majesty's sloop PRIMROSE, for drunkenness and va rious other charges.-..He was sentenced to be dis missed from his situation, and to serve in such other Capacity as the Commander-in-Chief shall direct.--- ,Rear-Adniirai °TWAY, President. fr.

We have had several very violent gales in this neighbourhood, within these few days past, and a good deal of mischief has been done.—Yesterday was a terrible day. About three o'clock, a sloop was seen to the southward, driving before the wind, (which blew a perfect hurricane from the S. W.), with all I het sails and rigging torn to pieces. She seemed to make for this harbour, but being apparently unma nageable, she was forced, by the irresistible strength of the tempest and waves, round the Keith Inch, when 'a. boat with seven of our fearless pilots, ran out to her from the North harbour. This was a most interesting scene ; and it was highly gratifying too, to see the intrepdity of the pilots. Several hundred people went along the beach, until the boat got alongside of the vessel, and brought her up," by throwing out both her anchors, in tolerably calm water, off the mouth of the Ugie. The gale increased, and the sea ran very high ; insomuch, that sometimes apprehen. sions for the safety of the boat were entertained ; but as there appealed no probability of saving the ship, the boat brought the crew on shore at the mouth of the Ugie. There were on board only the master. one man and a boy, who were very much exhausted and ! benumbed. The vessel is the Lizard of Sunderland, Captain PALMER, bound for Newburgh, with coals. —The gale overtook him between nine and ten o'clock yesterday,' off the Black-Dog ; and in a little while the mast was sprung, the main-boom unshipped, the gaff broken, the f-resail split, and the jib haulvards snapped. After riding for an hour or two at the mouth of the Usie, one of the cables broke, and she dragged the other anchor and cable with her to Kirk ton-head, where she now lies ashore. The mast is broken off close by the deck ; the bowsprit is driven away ; and she was seen, when forced from her an chorage, to tumble over and over in the tide, before she reached the shore. Hopes are entertained that some part of her may be saved. A brig, the John of Fraserburgh, Captain Dm.- RYMPLF., in attempting to gain the harbour, and in-1 deed after her bowsprit was within the pier -beads, was arrested by a tremendous sea, and thrown upon the shore, at the back of the west pier. It was utterly impossible to save her. She lay on her side, the sea breaking over her most furiously all the while, and so.near the harbo`ar, that a rope was thrown ashore, by which the crew were pulled upon the pier. She lay where she struck, and in a_ very little time our granite rocks rubbed her bottom to pieces, and the coals. with which she was loaded were scattered on the beach with the tide. She is a total wreck to-day. She was much shattered and torn before she came to the harbour mouth. A brig and a sloop (the Newburgh of Newburgh,j and the Jean of Banff), were both forced to seek ! shelter in this harbour, and, about the same time that the other vessel was stranded, most miraculously gained it, tvithout any other damage than the, had previonsly sustained. An immense crowd of people on the shore saw them approach, as if to in evitable destruction ; and ene of the Master. told me that he only hoped the lives of the crew would be saved, but did not think it possible to save the ship. I could not help admiring the exquite dexterity of seamanship displayed in rescuing these two vessels.,l A fereign vessel, bound fur Aberdeen, was forced! in here on Sunday afternoon. Her name is the Young Hendricos of Ulinberg, JANCERT HAREiIiO master. In a gale on Saturday last, she lost her mainsail and foresail, double.reefed topsails boat, and every.thing upon deck; In detailing these disasters it affords moth satiifactidn to think that no lives have been lost a comfort arising in a great measure, from the hti. , manity, the activity, and the dauntless intrepidity of our native seamen. KIRKWALL, OCTOBER 19. To MARINERS.—HIS' Majesty's ship PROSELTTE, stationed off the lslaml Anholt, to carry a float ing light for the safety of the convoys passing and repassing, has been directed to take her bearings as follow :—the light-house on the island to be brought to bear N.W. by N. by the compass, in sixteen or seventeen fathoms water, the outer end of the Kuolun or Anholt Reef will then bear N. E. by N. by com pass, distant five On Wednesday the Igth inst. a small sloop pri- 1 vateer, of three guns and forty men, was boldly steer ing into Longhope, With the intent of cutting out some of the valuable fleet for Gottenburgh lying there, when on perceiving the pendant of the &row( sloop of war, she put about, and steered into Wide wall Bay, where she quietly cast anchor alongside the Albion of Liverpool, and a sloop from Aberdeen, both bound for Liverpool. Next morning the convoy sailed for Gottenburgh, and the privateer having kept her station without exciting surprise, at midnight of the 13th boarded and carried off these two vessels, the crews of which she landed next day. A convoy ship which arrived in Longhope next day having immediately proceeded in pursuit of this marauder, we are not without hopes that he may be overtaken ; especially as the winds were easterly. The privateer was three weeks from Stavenger in Norway, and had previously-made no captures. The captured ships were very.valuable, the Albion had 1900 barrels of tar, and 60 tons of iron on board, and the Aberdeen 'sloop . was full of bale goods. .•• . . . LtITH, sovr.DABEK 3. .
