The • regulations direct that companies for service shall be taken from the senior captains downwards. Now, it is somewhat elsneark able that in the present instance this regulation should have b een d eparted from, and that that departure should have removed from me some most' important witnesses. The senior company was on detachment at Kensington. The next company (Captain Wombwell's) had 41 men on detachment, and therefore could not be expected to embark for Turkey. The next company (Capt. O'Toole's) were all at head quarters. The next three companies in suc cession of seniority were Capt. Campbell's Capt. Garrett's, and Capt. Piper's, each of which have only 1 officer, 1 aer reeeant, and 1 privat e on detachment ; so that they were ady ancifit to embark yet still they were passed over, and Captain Hardy's comp any taken, in which were two of my most important witness es —C aptain Hardy and Lieutenant Shervington. Ido not say that this partial and unex plained selection, contrary to the regulations, was intens tional; but I do say it was suspiciou s and h'as lost me the aid of much valuable evidence ; and it is somewhat re markable that Lieutenant Sherrinton, the sen i or lieu tenant, should have been attach e d t o a company the cap tain of which was his junior in the service. If, however, I have not been fortunate enough to secure the attendance of those officers of the regiment who would have befriended me by honest and unbiased testimony, I have produced before you witnesses so uninfluenced and unprejudiced that their evidence is above suspicion ; and I have opposed to all the non mi ricordo evidence of the prosecutor the evidence of witnesses whose moral testimony is unanswer able. Paymaster Corcoran, who is as free from the influ ence as he is above the corruption of my opponents, has given evidence which leaves with it the impress of perfect truthfulness. He speaks of facts which could not have been concerted ; he states what took place in :clay, 1853, when no one could have anticipated this inquiry. He has shown them that he was acquainted with my persecution, that he gave me advice and told me how to act, and that he ad vised me to write through the colonel to the general of the district, and that I told him I had done so ; and that I went to him the following morning much excited and in tears, and told him that I had reported certain officers to Col. Garrett, and that he had called me a fool for so doing, and that I was like a child escaped from my mother's apron strings. Could all this have been invented by so staid and respectable a witness for this occasion ? Could I have in vented it in May, 1853, to meet the present purpose ? Bat is not the evidence supported, not only by Capt. Chambers, but also by the unwilling evidence of Lieutenant Curtis, who said he did not deny having said, "I think you (mean- ing myself) have got the worst of reporting this time, old fellow." Captain Chambers, now an officer with the Fourth West Yorkshire Militia, and a gentleman of con siderable fortune, who was in the 46th,has given evidence, not only that Lieutenant Curtis told him that Colonel Garrett had called me a fool for ray pains for reporting, but that the fact was openly spoken of among the ofi cers. This evidence is above suspicion ; and, if what he says be true, it shows that the truth has been suppressed by all the witnesses for the prosecution, which impresses the whole of the evidence against me with suspicion, if it does not stamp it with conspi racy an d perjury. The evi dence of Major Stuart shows that all the witnesses have v d e r r e b s e s a f r o i r n g a not only been unjust towards me, b u t h ave strained that injustice into falsehood when they s t a t e d i n their stereo roe a ty o p d e typed swaggeringanssv e r answers , t m ha a t ian l e r . was oal shunnedalso s sh o ws vr f for thatr n subaltern in my situation, when complaining of personal annoyance, was hopeless, and that practical jokes were not repressed but encouraged, and were common in the regi ment for many years. The witnesses called on my behalf have also s p o k en t o my cre dit an d my h onour, not have d one so h a d I b een t h e i n f amous character and c characterer repre sented by some of the prosecutor's witnesses ; who, in their zeal to crush me, proved too much when they endeavoured to blast my reputation and to create a prejudice against me. When I was accused of impertinent familiarity, it transpired that I had once, in kindly addressing a brother officer at the dinner table, called him by his Christian name. Then I was accused of supposed debauched habi's, • which turned out ultimately to have been a _slander upon me. My disgusting conduct towards a friend of one wit ness was so discreditable that the vindictive witness who asserted it was reluctantly compelled to acknowledge that his friend regarded the whole affair as a joke ; and when this witness discovered a general difficulty in keep. ing mo within the bounds of discipline, it turns out that, while on leave at Cork, I had gone to Middleton, and had written to my servant, with directions either to get an extension of my leave or to give me notice of its refusal ; and that leave was given, and my attendance not required. This witness must have been sadly in need of breaches of discipline to have distorted so simple an occurrence to my disadvantage. These are my antecedents referred to by Col. .Garrett. Again, I was assailed by another witness for 'disgraceful conduct in a money transaction ; and I appeal , to this assembly of British officers, and I ask them whether the charge, so maliciously insinuated against me, was not as groundless as it wasdishonourable? Although I have been assailed by vindictiveness and calumny beyond the charges made against me, I have exhibited an amount of forbearance in the disclosures I have made, which ought to insure me the generous sympathy, at l eas t o f Col. Garrett a n d many of the officers of my regiment. • I have called no evidence on the third and fourth charges, although I could h..ve maintained those charges by the evidence of absent witnesses ; but I submit th at the pro secator's own witnesses have proved the statement made by me in reference to Captain Nicholas to be true, for Cap tain Campbell does not deny Captain Nicholas' participa tion in practical jokes, and Lieutenant Waldy proves the coarse and opprobious expressions used by Captain • Nicholas; for will any member of this Court believe that the expression at the end of that letter, ' I never s aw suc h fan,' did not mean th at L ieut enanWald7 was present and saw and heard what took place ? And if, as he says in his lettkr, this took place at the mess, how can the wit nesses for the prosecution be believed who state they never heard Captain Nicholas use opprobious words towards any young officer ? But, as I before observed, the evidence against me on the third and fourth charges simply amounts to no witn ess having recollected Captain Wisholai ill treating young officers, or aiding or abetting in so doing, but the glaring, obvious, and manifest defect in the prose cutor's evidence is, not the prevarication of his witness, but the suspicious absence of Capt. Nicholas in support of the third and fourth charges. I must crave the patience of the Court for a few moments in drawing attention to three important features in the evidence foe the prosecution. There are two circumstances which took place before many officers—one of them was the public conversation after mess of Colonel Garrett having called me a fool for report iallng e ; another was the fact o f C apta i n Nicholas having called Ensign Coote a -- son of a bitch of au ensign at the mess. Now, all the witnesses for the prosecution deny having heard either of these subjects referred to, or profess not to have recollection of them. Now, I leave it to this Court to conceive how it was possible that such circumstances could have escaped the observation and the memory of so many men ; and, in my case, is it not far more likely that my memory should be more accurate and retentive, when I was the subject of reproach and sought any only remedy ? Is not the one who receives a wound more likely to recollect it than he who with careless. ness and indifference deals out the blow ? The othrx fact to which I beg to draw attention is, that when my reputation was assailed by specific charges I was sable to refute them. I have refuted them, and I have, moreover, refuted the charge of being overbear. ing and swag ger i ng h i any manner. Many witnesses swore to my overbeari ng an d swaggering manner, which is d en i e d by Major Stuart; now, are they to be believed on other points to which they have attempted to speak ? Again, there is anoth er i mportant circumstance. Colonel Garrett said that all the subalterns were assembled to hear the reprimand he gave to Lieutenant Curtis on my complaint; yet it is very remarkable that only one subaltern has given evidence of his being present and having heard that repri mand, although there were 18 subalterns in the regiment at that time. Captain Chambers, who was then a lieute nant, has stated in evidence that he was told on that occa sion he was not wanted ; but where is the evidence of any one witness for the prosecution who attempts to say that' Colonel Garrett did not use the opprobrious epithets to wards me, or who has attempted to say I did not write a letter to the General of the district in reference to the in dignities I received, and who has attempted to say that Captain Nicholas never did ill-treat young officers, or aid or abet in so doing ? Net one. I, therefore, under all the circumstances, respectfully submit that the case as at tempted to be made out against me has failed, and has ex hibited all the vindictiveness, preconcert, and perjury of which I complained when I first opened my defence. The case of the prosecutor is either sound in all the charges or sound in none. Falsehood on one charge contaminates all the evidence on every charge. I have felt great difficulty in the preparation of ray defence , and only closed my own evidence ye s t er d ay; an d I havefound the amount of evi dence before me so ex t ens i ve an d so diversified in its nature, character, and incident, so contradictory and inconsi s t en t , and so tainted with v i n di c ti veness, f orge tf u l ness, and sup pression of the truth, that I trust every allowance will be made for my feeble and inefficient defence. In forbearing to call distant witn esses , I h ave h a d regar d to the public interests and to you, for I desired no lon ger t o f at i gue you with a prolonged an d delayed consideration of my case. I have now done, and cast myself upon your sympathies and your love of truth and justice; for I solemnly declare, in the presence of this imposing assembly of British officers, and in she presence of my country and any final Judge, that I am innocent of the charges preferred against me ; and I leave myself, my conduct, and. my reputation in your hands, with a consciousness that vou will do me bus' fro A mt t t h h e e c a o u n d e i n i of the i t e h h e Nr a d a d s r e a s p s e e t d h i e l y r e tick; and may G o d d e f end the right !" r w ep as re a ss l ed ond by ch t e h er e Court. Major-General Wetherall—As I cannot admit the truth of sonic of the statements made by the prisoner and the inferences drawn therefrom, I must request that the Court be adjourned until half-past one o'clock tomorrow.

A Board of Admiralty, consisting of the Right Hon. Sir James Graham, G.C.8., First Lord ; Rear-Admiral of the Red, the Hon. M. F. F. Berkeley, C.B , Senior Naval Lord.; and Captain Peter Richards, C.B. Fourth Lotd, accomp an i e d b y C apta i n Sir Baldwin 'Walker, K.C.8., Surveyor of the Navy ; Colonel Greene, Director of Admiralty Engineering Works, commenced their' annual official inspection of Portsmouth Dock yard and station yesterday. They landed at the King's stairs in the dockyard, where Rear-Admiral-Superin tendent Aladin and the whole of his principal officers were in waiting to attend them in their perambula tions. Their Lordships immediately went to the old and new smithies and other departments in that quarter, proceeding thence round the steam basin on 'board the now screw-sloop Harrier, .16, which they or 'dered to be commissioned on the previous evening, and round by the new ships building under the patent iron sheds, &c. The board thence repaired to the office of the Admiral. Superintendent, and transacted business until 2 p.m., when the First Lord embarked on the Fire Queen and returned to Cowes, his colleagues leaving the dockyard at half past two for the George, where they conducted correspondence, gave audience to officers, friends, &c.. The First Lord will hold a levee at the Royal Naval College at 12 o'clock to-morrow, giving audience to officers who may not have had an in terview with him during the past twelve months. The Board dined last evening (Thursday) with Rear-Admiral Superintendent Martin, at his official mansion in the dockyard. To-morrow the First Lord gives the annual dinner of the Board at the George Hotel. Captain Sir Baldwin • Walker, with the Admiral Superintendent, Master Shipwright, Chief Engineer, and their chief as sistants (Messrs. Moody and Miller) were on board the Harrier, new screw-slqop, more than an hour yesterday, having under discussion some suggested alterations for the improvement of her machinery, which is very differ ent to that of other vessels.

FIFTEENTH DAY—Thumper. The general court-Martial appointed to try Lieutenant James Edward. Perry, of the 46th Regiment, re-assem bled this morning in the officers' messroorn, at the In fantry Barracks, Windsor • Colonel T. E. Kelly pre siding. Major-General NN;'etherall attended as prose cutor ; and Brigade-Major Dalgetty officiated as Deputy Judge-Advocate. After some preliminary conversation, The President said, the Court is. now prepared and ready to hear you (addressing the prisoner) ; are you prepared with your defence ? Prisoner—l have neither the means nor the intention to prolong this inquiry ; I will put in the states of the different companies of the regiment the day before the two companies embarked for Turkey, with the excep tion of those of the light compel:ye which, I understand. are either lost or destroyed. These are the certified extracts of the evidence given by me on the trial of T. 'F. Greer on the 21st of July last, and I wish those por tions to be read, inasmuch as they bear on my trial. The Deputy Judge-Advocate read a portion of Lieut. Perry's evidence on the trial of Lieutenant Greer, and afterwards the Court decided that the whole of Lieu tenant Perry's evidence should be read. The proceed ings were signed by the Judge Advocate-General, Steven Charles Denison, and they related principally to the gambling transaction between Lieutenant Greer and Lieutenant Perry. Prisoner—l wish after that being read to state that I have never received one farthing of the money I stated I won from Mr. Greer, nor do I ever expect to receive it. The prisoner, on being called upon, delivered the following defence, which was listened to with the greatest interest, profound silence being preserved in court dur ng the whole of the time. "Mee President and Gentlemen of the court-martial,— Borne down with fatigue and- anxiety, I am now called upon to defend myself before this tribunal, not against clear,. open, and written charges only, but against vague thought which hostile and vindictive witnesses have thought fit to invent for the purpose of tarnishing my re putation and prejudging me before this Court and the public; but, nevertheless, I cheerfully rise in my own vindication, because lam persuaded that I shall meet with a countenance of that patience which has hitherto been so generously displayed by the Court, and because I know I shall meet with sympathy and justice at the hands of my gallant and honourable military judges. If I had not been supported during these protracted and harassing proceed ings by a consciousness of innocence, I should long since have sunk exhausted, humiliatel, and disgraced ; but, with conscious rectitude, I have, as a subaltern, been enabled to sustain this unequal contest, with only sine friend to cheer, to advise, and to encourage me. With all the unki n d ness w hi c h has b een exhibited by the witnesses for the prosecution, I ren sure you will believe that all that could be said has been sahfagainst me. It isnot to vindictive slanders and calumnies on my reputation without founda tion and support only that I have been subjected before this Court, but I have had to contend with concert, pre arrangement of evidence, and conspiracy. When Lieu tenant Diuscombe is asked whether, since that inquiry was instituted, and it was k nown that he would be called upon to give mridence, he had been spoken to relative to the nature of the evidence he would give, and who spoke to him, and wh a t th e y sa i d; he declined to answer the ques tion. • How many more witnesses for the prosecution have confessed discussing' the evidence to be given. and de clined to give the names of the parties with whom they so discussed it ! How many answers are given in the same stereotyped phraseology ! Are not these proofs of concert and pre-are angement of evidence, for if there had been no concert or pre -arrangement to conceal, 'why were not all my questions frankly answered? Again, I say, I have to contend with a conspiracy in' the regiment against me. After the letter on which the two first charges are founded was sent to the President of the court-martial on Lieutenant Greer, Colonel Garrett called the officers together, and, as they were anxious as far as possible to clear the colonel and vindicate themselves, they signed each of them papers, answering certain questions zu re ference to my letter, on the supposition that the Horse Guards would thereby be satisfied and the colonel relieved from further censure, little anticipating at that time that shouldl be the object of another inquiry. When a second ignore nce to the Hor se Gum ds aro c a ll e d upon to give court-martial w as or d ere d upon me these volunteers of evidence. They have already committed themselves in their written answers. How is the difficulty to be over come :? Simply enough. Only speak to the best of your recollection—non nti ricorclo—and the problem is solved. The , difficulty is got over, but lam the victim. If there had 'been no conspiracy, why did Lieutenant Curtis, a re lative, I believe, o f th e C olonel, state, first, that the officers did - not assemble, and, when pressed if the officers were not in deliberation an hour, say that the meeting was for auditing the mess accounts, Whereas Lieutenant Hesketh says tie officers were assembled simply to discuss what ap peared in my letter, and the mess accounts were never audits, lon that occasion. Will any member of this Court give er edit to the witnesses for the prosecution—that the evidenoe from time to time was not duly discussed, and every hole made by me attempted to be stopped by an swer& stereotyped and arranged, till, driven to desperation they p ersonaily ;attacked my private character by malig nant falsehood, and what pretended ignorance and *witnt of roc, election could not effect was sought to be at tained by calumny as mean as it was malicious ? I feed persuaded th at as a young officer, without a fatb er or' relative to sustain or advise him while a e el a l e g d a i n t'a s t deehfaerngde! h s i o mse g l r f aveand almost n he ri l m pl e e r s o s ue, an i d shall bespeak the manly and generous synipathy of every member of the Court ; and when it is shown that I have been attacked a n d surrounded by conspiracy, combination, calumny, an d perjury, may I not a s k f or more th an sym pathy--for a speedy and honourable acquittal ? I could have wished that the questions with respect to the prosecu tion had been confined simply to the charges against me, faithful b t t nhaefes just f s r , i e w t no h d m o s y h tsh a e and that I had been spared the pain of hearing from my f e ept oa beent r mentiony reasonst reat t e h d a ft ebrmy meshunning lc a se a ei s ehg s a s i m nc be e e. r e e ln anti eel in jured in consequenceof my being from time to time stopped in my cross-examination of witnesses when I was following; could call such witnesses in out and exposing a vein of prevarication or some ramifica tions of falsehood or malice, and t o ld by the Court that I power to bre a k d own, by an examination in chi e f a hostile witn ess i n the same m my defen ce as if it were i n my manner as by a sifting cross examt inwaration at theti. I am me s ure this C ourt, as so l d i ers, were no ae of the difficulties such a cou rse would entail on me. And I "`• submit that I have another just cause of complaint, for when I sought for the produc deesiarne to set at nought authority or to dis riors, and that what ho referred to was a, tion of Lieutenant Sherviugtou's letter, to shake the testi- Weal!, and to prove that I was not mere yag j teoe e mdf s t Captainyb, anuCP.lll superiors, ad thrsughout been so treated by Lieu tenant Shervington, the vvhole of the letters were carefully brought out, put upon record, and published, as if I had Peccadillo of my life. With the I airs bound in justice to this t u r s i t al r f e o fe r rr ev e s i ry ter Court to observe that I have been treated with great for bearance, kindness, and consideration. The course pursued - reen _ w___ everentitle him to my warmest respect. by the P sid 111 never did I wi and ratitud©, for and kind dignity com ebxeceenpotnienmey bined with justice, uprightness, and ess. The observa tions that I have felt due to nsYself, in reference to the proceedings of this Court, I am sure will not be allowed by and honourable a body te so gallant militate against me. Nor will military esprit de corps be Permitted to enter pre • into the bosoms of those who sit here as judges judicially -either to consign me to disgrace and •ine em e or by their me an injured and • verdict to pronounce an innocent man. flit It will now become my pain ucuyo refer more particu larly to the charges made against me, an Suppor t ed nce by which those charges are attempted to be ; after which I shall enaeavour to analyse and criticise and show the worthlessness of that evidence. The charges made against me aro, in substance, the followi ng "L That I falsely stated in a letter to Colonel ITlpton that Colonel Garrett reproached and me a fool for my pains after I had reported to him. "2. That it was false that I made any th reat to Colonel Garrett, either by word of moutheor i n writin g , that I would appeal to the general of the district. "3. That I stated falsely, in my evidence on Lieutenant Greer's trial, that Captain Nicholas had illtreated other officers on joining. "4. That in my letter to Colonel Pi pon, the Deputy- Judge-Advocate on Mr. Greer's court-martial, I had falsely imputed to Captain Nicholas that he illtre ated yours of ficers, or aided and abetted others in doi ng so. g The first witness called on the first and second charges is Colonel Garrett, who stated that he does not remember the particular cause of my complaint to him, but thinks it had reference to pulling my bed about ; and that he had no re collection of having on that or any other occasion reproached me and called me a fool for my pains. But when pressed, in cross-examination, distinctly to deny that lie ever u se d the words in the presence of any one, says, i n a most qualified man ner , really don't think I ever did; it is a long time ago; I cannot charge my memory with ever having made that observation. And when subsequently asked if he had in any instance used reproachful language to any of the offi , cers • a fter a complaint of being palled out of bed, bogs to decline answering the question. When again asked if he recollected, or whether the acting adjutant told him, ' that I threitened to report the circumstances to the general of the district, he said, `I do not recollect.' The next witness examined for the prosecution, nu the first and second charges, w as Major M axwe ll . When as k e d w h e th er i t was within' his knowledge, or had he any reason to believe, that Colonel Garrett did call, me a fool for my pains, or reproaclimefer making a complaint, he says he never heard Col. Garrett call me a fool for my pains, and never heard Col. Garrett reproach me for making a •complaint. And in a subse quent part of his evidence he speaks of the reprim an d given to the officers of whom I complained, and that the, reprimand was so strong that the only instance of a prac tical joke that he knew of afterwards was that of Lieut. Dunscombe; yet, so defective in the memory of Major Maxwell, that, although he could recollect Dunscombe's business WA and noolloot Dunacoralyrs App eal Major, will you stand this ?" still he knew not afterwards of any instance of an officer being pulled out of his bed at Weedon, although that occurred only in the month of May last. But when further pressed as to an officer being brought down in his shirt, and placed on the table, he says—' I have some slight recollection s now it is brought to my memory, of something of the kind happen iug at Wooden, but it made no impression on my mind at the time. And this witness, in his evidence ;relating, to Dunseombe's affair, would have l e ft th e court to believe that all was settled amicably, for he says that Mr. Duns scornbe appeared in his uniform in the ante-room about five minutes afterwards, although it is proved by Lieut. Dunscombe and Major Fyffe that Lieut. Dunscombe threat ened by letter to appeal to the General of the district the followine morning. The next wit ness f or th e prosecut i on is Majo r Fyffe, who, when asked bo the prosecutor whe ther it was within his knowledge that Colonel Garrett did, "on the occasion of my making a complaint, or on any other occasion, call me a fool for my pains, or reprove me for making complaints, stated certainly not, within his knowledge, nor did he ever hear that Colonel Garrett had so (lone. And when asked if he knew that I had ever sent a letter to Colonel Garrett threateing to aeal to the General of the district, stated he n never, heard pp o f such a th rea t , e i t h er by letter or word, but that Colonel Garrett might have received such a letter without his know ledge. And subsequently, after gr6t hesitation and several equivocations, he said he had heard in casual conversation that Lieutenant Dunscombe had complained to the General a s . the district by letter. I next come to Captain Sandwith, who so discreditably attempted to assail my private Cha racter, and who appears to have some enormous feeling of prejudice against me. He never heard Colonel Garrett call me a fool, or reproach me for making complaints. He does not know that I threatened to complain to the General of the district. He does not know that I ever was persecuted. This witness, who was a dj u t an t , stated that no system of persecution could have existed without his lasowledge, yet it appeared, subsequently, by his evidence, that the persecu i time of Waldey and Knapp took place without his know ledge, and he afterwards boldly stated that Lieutenant Dunscombe's letter was not to the General of the district, but to the colonel only, whereas Lieutenant Dunscom be and I Major Fyffe both proved that it was, through the colonel, to the General of the district. This evidence is therefore worse than useless. The next witness called against me is Captain Nicholas. He never heard me called a fool for my pains by Colonel Garrett, or reproached for reporting. Ile never heard that I threatened by letter to appeal to the General of the district. Lieutenant and Adjutant M'Alister is then called. lie has no recollection of being present when an officer was reprimanded, never heard me called a fool for my pains. Never did I, to his knowledge, threaten to appeal to, tho General of the district. When, however, asked questions in reference to Dunecombe's affair, he heard th a t C o l one l Garrett had not reprimanded him for making the complaint, but for improperly wording it, whereas Lieutenant Duuscornbe says that he was blamed by the colonel for making a threat before applying to him. Lieutenant Danscombe is the next witness against me, but I shall forbear making any further observation on his evi -1 deuce beyond stating that when asked in cross-examina tion whether since this inquiry 'was instituted, and it was known he would be called as a witness, he had been spoken to relative to the nature of the evidence- he should give, land if so, by whom, and what did they s:.y, he replied, ' I decline to answer the question ; ' but the effect of this pro concert with the witness is remarkable, for when asked if since the regiment left Dublin he had been annoyed by the officers forcing their way into his room and pulling him oat of his bed, he replied, `I have by the prisoner himself, at Manchester;' and, when urged upon the point, admits that he was not even pulled out of his bed, but that his door was broken open, and he believed that I did it ; as if it were possible for him to depose under the circumstances to such a fact. The next witness against me is Lieut. Curtis, a relative, I believe, of Colonel Garrett. Now, he speaks strongly on the first charge, and he states positively that Colonel Garrett never reproached me for making a complaint, or called me a fool for my 1 16 insy and lie sloes not know that I ever sent a letter to Colonel Garrett, threatening to appeal to the General of the district. This witness's evidence, however, is not entitled to eith er we i g ht or credit, f or when asked if the officers' assembly; was not sounded, and if all the officers wore not called together to refresh each other's memory, he stated at first ` Certainly not P and if the officers' assembly was sounded for any other purpose, h e was not there. But, on re-consideration, he said he thought the officers' assembly did sound, but he had forgotten the day; it was for auditing the moss accounts that the assembly was sounded, and that the meeting was •a day or two before the count martial assembled —the (lay Colonel Garrett went to the Horse Guards. Now Lieutenant Haskell expres s ly d en i es this • and says that ! the officers were assembled simply to dis cuss what appeared in my. letter. This witness, how- • ever, does not deny he said to me, that ' I think you got the • worst of reporting this time, old fellow ; and again, al though this witness did not recollect Colonel Garrett call ing me a fool for my pains, an independent witness Capt. • Chambers, has sworn that he told him that Colonel Gar rett had called me a fool for my pains for reporting, and that the chcanistance was referred to by several of f icers of the mess. Colonel Garrett is again called in reference to the second charge, and says he never received any letter threatening to complain to the General of the district, al though he positively stated that he did not recollect; but when asked if he had no clearer recollection of my letter to him than he had - of calling me a fool for my pains, and if I proved he was in error when he said he did not call me 'a fool for my pains, would he not think himself equally in error when he said I slid nut write him the letter, lie re• plied that if it should ba proved that he was mistaken on either one or the other of those points it would be for the Court, but not for himself, to pass its own opinion. Still there is no great confidence iu Colonel Garrett's recollec tion, and ho admits that if in error in one case he may be in the pthor. The next witness is Lieut. Hesketh, whose evidence amounts to nothing against me. Ile was not pre sent when the reprimand was given. He does not know whether Colonel Garrett called me a fool for my pains, and he never heard that I had written to Colonel Garrett, threatening to complain to the General of the district. The effect of all which evidence on the 'first charge is, that ,Colonel Garrett does not recollect calling me a fool for my pains; Major Maxwell never hoard him say so; Major Fyffe had no knowledge of it ; Captain Sand with never heard it ; Captain Nicholas never heard it; Lieutenant and Adjutant M'Alister never heard it, and Lieutenant Hesketh never heard it. There are, there fore, eight witnesses, all of w h om state they either did not he ar Colonel Garrett call me a fool for my pains, or did not recollect Colonel Garrett .calling, me a fool fur my pains. Two witnesses Lieutenants Dans combe and C ur ti s. speak more distinctly, but, for the reasons before stated, their evidence is less than worthless. The first charge therefore, on the evidence brought to sup port it,' has positively failed. My statement is an affirma tive statement, and is not only true in fact, but in law is presumed to be true until its falsehood is shown. But no quantity oft non mi'riCordo evidence can amount to truth. No accumulation of nothings can produce an unit, for it is perfectly consistent with my statement that all the eight witnesses may neither not have recollected nor have heard Col. Garrett call me a fool, and still he may have called, and (lid call me a fool notwithstanding. I come now to a summary of the prosecutor's evidence on the second charge. Col. Garrett says ho never did receive my letter threatening to complain to the general of the district, having previously , stated that he, had no recollection of the circumstance; Ma jor Maxwell gave no evidence on the point; Major Fyffe never heard of my so doing; Capt. S a nd w ith d oes not k now of myso doin g; C ap t . Nicholas never heard of my so doing; Lieut. and Adjutant M'Alister had no knowledge of my so doing; Lieut. Dunscombe has no knowledge of my so doing; Lieut. Curtis has no knowledge of my so doing; Lieut. Hes keth has never heard of my so doing; so that, in fact, the only witness who attempts to prove by any shadow of legal evidence the second charge is Col. Garrett. I proceed now to the evidence produced on the part of the prosecutor to the 3d and 4th charges. Sixteen w it nesses h ave b een called with the endeavourto prove a negative to support those charges. Ensign Coote denies in his evidence that Captain Nicholas on any occasion called him "a d—d son of a b—h of an ensign," but Lieut. W a ld y s h ows that those oppro brious epithets were applied by Captain Nicholas to the witness. Ensign Hutton does not remember ever having heard Captain Ni c h o l as use opprobrious language towards young officers. Lieutenant W. T. Waldy, though he denies that he ever said or,nven wrote that Captain Nicho las called Ensign Coote 'a d—d son of a b—h of an ensign,' is convicted by his own letter of having prevaricated, for in that letter, written immediately after the occurenco, he expressly says that Captain Nicholas did use those oppro brious words to Engsigu Coote at the mess table, and that he never saw such fun; the evidence therefore of Lieuten ant W. T. Waldy and Ensign Coote is rendered worthless, and the evidence of Ensign Hatton, who only deals in a non mi ricordo relative to Captain Nicholas's opprobrious language, does not, therefore, supped either the third or fourth charges made against me. Lieutenant Dunseombe, when asked if hb ever heard Captain Nicholas use oppro brious language to him for reporting, replies, ` Never to my recollection e and when asked whether Captain Nicho las was not present whoa he (Danscombe) was pulled out of his bed by Captain Webb, made the qualified reply, ` I do not remember that he was.' When again asked, if any officer ever stated to him or in his presence that he would be revenged for indignities heaped upon him by Captain Nicholas, he replied, ` Never to my recollection s ' an d when again asked who the officers were of whom he complained, he said there were four, but he only recollected Greer and Knapp; 'and when further pressed as to who the other two were he said, Captain Nicholas was not one of them.' Now, how is it possible for Lieutenant Danscombe to say that Captain Nicholas was not one of those officers when he-declares he does not know who they were. He subsequently, how ever, endeavours to account for recollecting Greer and Knapp, only because Knapp was in Turkey and Greer under arrest, and his answer is very remarkable, for he says the very circumstance of one being in Turkey and the other being under arrest served to impress their names on his memory. Now, will any reasonable man believe that an ex post facto circumstance would serve to impress the names of two o f th e p ar ti es on th e memory o f this lt : wit ness, t ness, and yet th a t h e s h ou ld s till continue oblivious the rest ? Lieut enan t F or d i s th en ca ll e d , b u t exhibits _ total want of memo r y, f or w h en as k e d w h e th er Curtis and Pane were not in his room when he was pulled out of bed by Ensign Castle s o f th e 17th, h e s t a t e d th a t there was only one officer of the 46th there, and that was Lieut. Greer, and that upon his attempting to lay hold of the bedclothes, he caught hold of him and thrust him out of the room ; but on reference to Lieut. Curtis's evidence it will be found that he states that he and two other officers of the 43th were pre sent, and that Ford thrust, not Greer, b u u r t. s En unned Ensign Castles out' of the room, and, as Lieutenant C succeeded Lieutenant Ford, and had not an opportunity o f looking into the ne w sp a pers andsee i ng stated, he no doubt, in this what that wit ness instance, spoke the truth. Lieutenant Curtis appears only to be remarkably forg e tf u l that, t on upon for when examined on the third and urth charges, which he specks strongly, he admitsalleging, when he last gave his evidence, that the meeting of the officers to canvas my letter was merely to audit the mess accounts, he totally forgot such meeting had been held. H ow is it possible that any weight can be given to the testi mony of such a witness when he forgets so momentous a meeting as that which was held, and attempts to substitute for it a meeting for auditing the mess accounts, which it was after wards proved never took place at all ? I will not trouble the court further as to the prevarication of this witness on the third and fourth charges. Lieut. Lluellyn is then called ; he simply says that he had never seen or heard that Capt. Nicholas aided and abetted in the annoying of young ,))'ices, And, whey tusked whetherCaptainNioholax had any hand in throwing the things out of Knapp's and Waldy's room, said he had not, to the best of his recollec tion. When again asked how many officers assisted-- he says, to the ILA of his recollection, he only remembered one; but when pressed with a question that detailed an amount of work that would have occupied a number of men for a considerable time, he answers that he thinks there were some officers in Waldy's room, but he only re collects himself being engaged in throwing things out of the window, although Captain Chambers states that to was the person who threw the things out of the window and that ho (C ap t a i n C hambers) took thorn back again. Lieut. when examined and asked if he ever heard Captain Nicholas' use opprobrious language to any other officer, replied, not to his knowledge. The next witness examine.t is Lieutenant Greer (whom I heartily forgive for his treat mentpinosmityiv=sssenttosaitiul athtiaotn)t,eirs daghme.psspeaks of me, an i on whose account, indirectly, I am now butwith a h degreeaasked him if he did not say quite recently to an officer who is now gone to Turkey that I bad boon an ill-treated and badly-used man over since I joined the regiment, he replied, ' I have no recollection of it ;' and when further ques tioned, states that he had discussed the nature of the evidence given with one or two officers of the regiment, but, when strongly press.id, thinks there were six or seven officers with him, but' declines to mention their names ; and, when asked if Lieutenant Shervinton had been au thorized by him to deliver any message to me, said he did not recollect authorizing him to deliver any message to me. It will be observed that to every important question that was put to this witness that would tend to my benefit and support my case, he replied by `Non mi recordo.' Lieutenant and Adjutant . M'Alister, when examined against me on these charges, simply says that he was not aware that Captain Nicholas aided aud abetting in annoy ing young officers, as if that evidenCe, which is equivalent to a non, mi ricordo is sufficient to prove the falseness of my statement. Captain Campbell is the next witness ex amined, but with all his injastice towards me, and with all his &site to produce an unfavourable impression against me, he does not attempt to say more than this, that Captain Nicholas does not aid-or abet others in annoy ing young officers, to the best - of his belief; but when pressed by me with this question, ` Have you never heard of any practical jokes in which Capt. Nicholas has been concerned replied—and may I beg you to mark the reply ?—' A practical joke is a wide term; I have never known him join in a practical joke to annoy any one.' To the rest of Capt. Colin Campbell's evidence I will not refer ; but this I will declare, that the attempt on the part of the prosecutor to produce a series of letters containing charges against me that had been condoned, forgiven, and forgot ten. was an act of injustice I little expected at his hands ; and• the attempt of Capt. Campbell to neutralise the effect of Lieut. Shervinton's generous admission, ` that, as well when he reported as afterwards, he was always of opinion that I acted in a thoughtless and inconside rate manner, without the most distant intention of showing ing contempt for authority or committing a breach of disci pline,' is as mean as it is malicious. Out of 16 witnesses who were called to prove the third and fourth charges, seven I have convicted of pre'varication. Two others of them, wheh asked as to opprobious language used by Captain Nichols..., simply answered ' -Von, mi ricordo! Another answers that he was not aware ; and Captain Campbell does not deny the perticipatioh of Captain Nicholas in practical jokes. The rest are so young in the service I never knew them until I came to Wiudsor. Can such evidence as this be relied upon as a logical and legal proof of Captain Nicholas never having ill-treated brother officers ? There was a clearer and more distinct, a more definite mode of proof, and the only positive, moral, and legal proof to support the third and fourth charges, and that was the evidence of Captain Nicholas himself. Colonel Garrett, who was immediately affected by the first and second charges, was examined by the prosecutor in support pf those charges, and why was not Captain Nicholas examined to support the third and fourth charges? Because the practical jokes referred to by Captain Campbell, the aiding and abetting of which Lieu tenant M'Alister was not aware of, and the opprobrious language so many did not recollect, but which *as in one instance, unfortunately for the prosecution, committed to writing, would all have been made manifest, and myself vindicated, and Captain Nicholas shown to have ilitreated other officers on joining. I have now dissected the evidence given on the part of the prosecution in support of all the charges against me, and I venture to assert, as I am told by the higest legal authorities, that on, such evidence no civil judge or jury of my country would hesitate a moment to find me innocent of all the charges laid against me ; and I am confident that, when you shall have weighed the evidence and observed the animus of the witnesses, with the concert and consniracy to crash me, you will, oven on the case as made out by the prosecution, unanimously find me not guilty. I will now proceed further to trespass upon the patience of this honourable tribunal by referring to the indignities I received at the hands of my brother officers, which I was ultimately induced to resent, and which has ended in this inquiry. When rfirst joined the 46th I was 20 years of a g o. It was on the 14th of April, 1853, that I cam e fresh from any tutor to the barracks. My father was then serving his country as au officer in the Royal Irish Fusiliers, in India. I had no friends nor near relations who were interested in me ; and I was placed in the regiment to fight my own way in the world, with the limited pay of an ensign, and such slight pecuniary as sistance as my father could afford me out •of his pay. As officers, you must see that I was not a rich man. I had none of ,the, zpd vantages which wealth commands, and was therefore unable to support the character of a fast man consistently with that of au honourable one. Ou the contrary, I was necessarily deb , rred from many pleasures and many comforts which I gladly saw others enjoy. My time I, however, occupied not in low de bauchery, not in drunkenness and riot, not in dis turbing the comfort and wounding the feelings of my brother officers by practical jokes, as some have en deavoured to insinuate, but in the study of my profession; and during the short period I have been in the regiment I we rendered myself tolerably conversant with fortifica tions and other branches of the service. I have occupied my leisure hours chiefly in the improvement of my mind, and in the cultivation of made, drawing, and the modern languages ; and I did look forward to the time when I m:ght have served my Queen as a brave and able officer. No sooner had I joined the regiment than I became the object of continued indignities and annoyances. I was pulled out of my bed, and on many occasions made to go through the sword exercise in a state of nudity. My shirt was torn from my back ; I was beaten with an umbrella ; I was compelled by force to get into my tub; and these indignities were practised upon me, not merely in the presence of officers, but privates in the regiments were witnesses of the pro ceedings. I experienced fair some time these degradations, and asked the advice of an old officer, who told me to put up with such treatment as well as I could until younger officers joined, when I should be relieved. I was not, however, relieved, and I at last complained to officers of the regiment—to Major Maxwell, and even to my com manding officer, and mot with no redress. I would cheer fully have submitted to any fair share of annoyance ; but there is a limit to human forbearance, and to the for bearance of a friendless subaltern. On the last occasion which occurred I dressed in fall uniform, and came down between 2 and 3 in the morning, insisting on seeing Col. Garrett, when I was met in the passage, and threatened even with personal violence if I reported, and I was pre vented from entering the room in which the colonel and others were regaling themselves. I sent in a written letter, through the colonel, to the general of the district, report ing the conduct of the officers towards me, the next day. He called me a d—d fool for reporting anything to my commanding officer, and added, I was just like a child escaped from my mother's apron strings. But I was earnestly entreated by several of my brother officers to for bear ; and I was asked by Col. Garrett if I wished the letter to go before thegeneral ; and I replied, I did not wish to ruin any man's prospects, and would be satisfied if Col. Garrett would give him such a reprimand as would cause all future annoyance to cease. I consulted, on many occasions, with Paymaster Corcoran. lie advised me to put up with the indignities, and pointed out the course I should pursue in applying to the general of the district. And when I found that the complaint to my commanding officer was treated with scorn, and I was called a fool for my pains, and likened unto a child escaped from his mother's apron strings, I felt overwhelmed, and went im mediately to Mr. Corcoran, and told him the reception I had met with f rom Colonel Garrett, how I had threatened to report to the General of the district, and how I had consented to forbear: Ever since my determination to resist the personal attack upon me became known, I have been treated with coolness and my society shunned. I became a marked man thenceforth. After repeated acts of violence by the officers of the 46th, I reported the cir cumstance to Colonel Garrett, and through him to the General of the district; he reproached me, and called me a fool for my pains ; and Colonel Garrett gave the offenders so weak a reprimand, that, although the acts of aggression were discontinued, I was persecuted in other ways. On the 29th day of June last the unfortunate affair with Lieutenant Greer took place. I felt myself to bo in nocent ; still I was tried first, and had to take the whole force of public opinion upon my s elf, until I was enabled to vindicate—nay, justify myself. Although I w w a t s tn o e n ss m es y this opinion was 1 the evidence necessary to my defence, and trial, prevented from procuring, from adverse was afterwards tried. ; DREADPUL MURDER BY A.

COMMANDERS' OUT-PENSIONS OF GREEN WICH HOSPITAL. The following officers have been appointed to receive the vacant out-pensions of Greenwich Hospital : Commander William Smith (a) (1826), who served 18 years with great gallantry and distinction during the war. His grandfather went round the world with Lord Anson, his father was a captain in the navy, and his brother, who died a lieutenant, was wounded at Trafalgar. Commander James Atkins (a) (1848), who is in the 78th year of his age, and served 17 years successively during th e war, 12 years of which was uninterrupted ser vice in the West Indies. Afloat and ashore he was in many a gallant affair, in which he received an 18 oz. shot in his chest. Commander Joseph Chegwin (1848). This officer served eleven years during the war. His great gallantry raised him from before the mast to be a quarter-deck officer. He was in some sharp cutting out expeditions and privateer actions, was coxswain in Sir R. Calder's action, and was promoted to the rank of lieutenant in 1809 for his distinguished service at the bombardment of Flushing. _Commander Thomas Holloway (1854), on the retired list, died on the 13th inst., at his son - in-laiv's 14, Great Russell-street, Covent-garden, a f ter three days' illness. He was of W his est G h rove, St. La wrence Valley, Jersey, and wn 64t year. Commander Charles R. Carter (1853), and Francis J. Diggens (1853), have both been appointed to the coast guard. PROMOTION OF LIEUT. R ROBERTSON. It has been already announced that Lieut. Robertson (1840) has been appointed surveyor to the Board of Trade under the new act of Parliament. Not only h as this ofiScer received this appointment of 500/, per an num salary, but the Board of 'Admiralty, in considert, tion of bits faithful, arduous, and zealous services at Woolwich, in fitting and trying the various steam vessels in the river, have handsomely promoted him to the rank of commander. This gallant but neglected officer has at length met with his just reward. Mr. W. Andrews, superintendent to the European Telegraph Company, arrived at Sheerness on the 16th instant. The wires in the admirars'offices were con nected, and meg,, , ages were transmitted to the interme diate stations between there and Somerset-house.
