"As it is quite obvious that the full and impar tial trial which his Royal Highness pledged himself should be had cannot take place without the ques tion as to the arrest and imprisonment of the de ceased sergeant major being justifiable or other wise being a matter for consideration, and as this obviously involves an inquiry into the character and conduct of the deceased Sergeant Major Lilley, Mr. Samuel Lilley instructs us also to request that Cols. White and Shute and Lieut.-Col. Fitz wygram, for merly commanding officers of the 6th Dragoons, and the Hon. Capt. E. R. Bourke, also of that regiment, ma y be summoned to give evidence on the court martial as to their knowledge of the character and antecedents of the late Sergeant Major Lilley. dw e have also, on Mr. Lilley's behalf, to request that, for the reasons we have before stated, his Royal Highness the Field Marshal Commanding in Chief will authorise him to attend the trial on the condi:partial, with his legal adviser, to watch the proceedings and protect the memory of his deceased brother from being improperly assailed.—We have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servants, " THORNDIKF and SMITH.

Mr. Lilley request s us to e xpress his regret an d disappointment that in a case in which he and his relatives have so great and manifest an interest his Royal Highness the k ield Marshal Commanding in Chief should allow the practice:of courts martial' to interfere in preventing the concession to him of the very reasonable re q uests w e made on hie behalf in our lette r of the 30th ult., es p eciall y as we again repeat that the full and impartial trial promised by his Royal Highness cannot be had if the relatives of the deceased sergeant-major are not properly repre sented thereat. " In consequence of the refusal of his Royal High ness to allow our clients to be furnished w ith a copy of the charges u p on which Lieut.-Colonel Crawley is to be tried, for (as we venture to think) the very insufficient reason that it is not in accordance with the practice of courts martial to do so, the reports in the public journals are the only source from whi c h the relatives of the deceased sergeant-major can de rive any information on the subject. " We are instructed to urge upon his Royal High ness that the proposed charges, as contained in those reports are 'wholly insufficient to meet the justice of the case in the present instance, and do not embrace to the full extent the wrong alleged to have been done by Lieut.-Colonel Crawley upon his unfortu nate deceased subordinate officer. "We are, therefore, instructed by Mr. Samuel Lilley, on behalf of himself and of his family, as well as in the interest of the public, to demand as a right that the accompanying two additional charges may be preferred against Lieut.-Colonel Crawley, of the 6th Inniskilling Dragoons, at the approach.- ing court mart ial. "The charges t he Lille y family are prepared to prove on the testimony of various witnesses now in England; and as his Royal Highness the Com mander-in-Chief, in his place in the House of Lords, pledged himself that a full and thorough investi gation should take place into all the circumstances attending the Mhow court martial, we are certain that his Royal Highness will not fail to redeem his pledge when our clients call upon him, as they now do, to fulfil his promise i by at once directing that the inquiry shall be extended by adding the two charges we have been instructed to require at his hands. " As the meeting of the court martial is stated to be so shortly to take place, we must request that this letter be immediately breught under the notice of his Royal Highness, that an omission which we are confident will excite as much surprise with the public generally as it has done with the parties in terested, may be remedied before the assembling of the court.—We have the honour to be, your obedient servants, " THORNDIKE AND SMITH.

SHREWSBURY NOVEMBER RACES. We are ignorant of the secret that Mr. John Frail pos sesses in being able to tempt from their homes and firesides at this season of the year the concourse of people who have filled the hotels and lodgings of Shrewsbury, and given such universal vitality to the quiet old town. Beds are at a pre• mium, and upwards of 200 horses have already arrived. This is sufficient comment on the prospects of the Novem- ber meeting of '63, without further remarks from us. The Queen's Guineas proved an easy ♦ictory to Blithfield, Bally Edmond bolting soon after the start and losing con siderable grounds in consequence, thereby depriving him of any chance he possessed. The Newport Gold Cup only brought three to the post, a falling off from last year, which saw a much larger field for this race. The favourite, Gemma, won without being extended, scoring an addition to the many successes that have lately fallen to Lord Stamford. The Carnival Nursery was an easy performance for the favourite, Caroline, who waited on her horses to the straight, and, coming away with a clear lead, won by a length and a half. Bittern, who was leading at the con'- mencement of the race, swerved at the rails, and fell with his rider, Loates, without, however, injaringhim. The Foregate Stakes were another victory for Lord Stamford, and Mr. Payne's eolours were also for a second time borne in the van by Overture, in the Abbey Handicap. The hurdle race wound up an excellent day's sport with a good race between the three placed, the favourite, Serious Case, win ning rather easily at the finish. The sun was almost that of summer, and the air com paratively warm. There was a large attendance, and most of the notabilities of the sporting world were present. The Shobdon Court stakes of 10 sovs each, 5 ft, with 50 added; for 3-yr-olds and 4-yr-olds ; winners extra; maidens allowed 31b. Three-quarters of a mile. :0 subs. Mr J. B.

(It Grimshaw) 3 Betting-2 to lon Welland, 3to 1 agst Lord Burleigh, and 5 to 1 agst Lufra. Lord Burleigh jumped off with the lead, Welland going on second, Lufra last. They ran in these positions to half way in the distance, where the latter dropped back, leaving Welland in attendance to the stand, where Custance made his effort but failed to get up, and was beaten cleverly by three quarters of a length. The Queen's Plate of 100 guineas, for 3.yr-olds, Bst 61b ; 4-yr-olds, 9A 71b; 5-yr-olds, 6-yr-old and aged, 9st 131 b Three miles. Mr T. Hunt's Blithfield, 3 yrs, Bst 61b (T. French) 1 Mr S.

Blithfield, with Laertes at his side made the running, at tended by Bally Edmond to the T.Y.C. post, where the latter slipped the rails and went some distance on the wrong side, but he was speedily pulled round and following in the wake of the leaders, who alternately led to the mile post the last time, when French took a pull at the favourite, which allowed Bally Edmond to join Laertes, the pair racing to- gether into tho straight, where the latter was beaten. Blithfield at the same time came to the front, and half-way up obtained a clear lead, which he retained to the end, and wou in a canter by ten lengths. Laertes Wilf. pulled up, and did not pass the post. The Newport Gold Cup, value 170 sous and upwards, weight for age, by subscription of 10 soya each, sft, with 50 added for 2-yr-olds ; winners extra, with maiden allowances ; second to save his stake.

Betting-5 to 2 agst Jessie, 4to 1 agst Disdain, 6to each agst Bosh and Douche, and 10 to 1 agst Foreteller. In consequence of Avongrove, Disdain, and Jessie break ing away several times the start was delayed some time. When they were despatched Rowena took a decided lead, followed by Disdain, Jessie, Miss Emma, and Foreteller, Antidote acting as whipper in. The race in these positions was retained for a quarter of a mile, when the favourite took the second place, and upon Rowena running out of the course at the commencement of the rails she came on with the command, closely followed by Douche, Disdain, Fore teller, and Highland Mary to the enclosure, when Disdain dropped back, and the two young ones took second and third places, and ran in close company to the stand, where Highland Mary attempted to get through, but failed, she then finishing a fine race home, Foreteller winning on the post by a head, a similar distance separating the second and third; Disdain was fourth, Zingari fifth, and Douche next. The winner was sold to Mr T. Mason for 65 guineas. Mr Payne claimed Miss Emma. The Carnival Nursery Handicap of 10 sovs each, 5 ft, with 150 added. The second to save his stake. Winners extra.

Claxton jumped away with a clear lead when the flag wos lowered, which she hit heavily and fell, which mis chance left Caroline in front, French making use of his ad vantage as he entered the straight, and won in a canter by a length and a half; Nucleus, who ran past her horses at the enclosure, defeated Diviner by a length for second, the Mary Copp was fourth, beaten a head, Hedworth fifth, Claxton sixth, and Mystery next.

The favourite next the rails slipped her horses after a tedious delay at the post, and came on with a clear lead, having Summerside on her right, to the stand, where Fordham came in earnest, but failed to get up, and was beaten cleverly by three- gnarters of a length. Cuckoo, who bolted in taking his preliminary canter, and ran the course round, finished a bad third; the Letcombe Lass trotted in last.

Lincoln MARCH. Liverpool The Royal Mail Steamship Africa. The following official report has been presented to the Right lion. the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade :—" My Lorcl3, I have the honour to report that I have, in conjunction with Captains Harris and Baker, the nautical assessors of your lordships' board, held an inquiry into tho casualty which occurred to the steamship Africa, off Cape Race, on the 12th of October last. The Africa is a paddlewheel steamer, built of wood, at Greenock, in 1850, of 2,226 gross and 1,216 registered tonnage, and was under the command of Mr, James Stone, who held a certificate of _ _ _ competency as master, dated January 7, 1851. She had a crew of 130 hands, all told, and was in every respect thoroughly equipped. The Africa left Liverpool Oct. 3, carrying the mails, 120 cabin passengers, and a general cargo, bound for Halifax and New York. After touching at Queenstown on the following day, she sailed again at 3 38 p.m. ; made the Fasttet at 10 20 p.m., and thence took her departure on her voyage to America. Observa tions for latitude and longitude were obtained daily from the sth to the 11th inclusive, and up to that date nothing occurred which calls for coument. At noon on the 12th a good observation was obtained for latitude, which placed them in 47 11 N. ; but as n) sights had been obtained for the chronometers, the longitude was calculated to be 50 21 W., and Cape Race was estimated to bear S. 73 26 W. true, distant 112 miles. The weather at noon is represented in the log-book to have been strong from S.S.V. At 6 p.m. increasing winds and stormy weather, sea rising, and sail was shortened. At 731 p.m. wind shifted to W., and all sail was taken in. At 8 p.m. moderating breezes and thick foggy weather, with rain. From noon to 6 p.m. the course steered was W. by N. 1 N., and the speed of the vessel was 121 knots an hour. At 6 p.m. the course was altered to W. 1 N., and so continued at a speed of 11 knots an hour, until she struck about 9 50 p.m., somewhere, probably, in the vicinity of the extreme point of Cape Race ; but the exact position was never ascertained. Immediately before striking, the master, who was on deck, states that he saw a whitish line on the edge of the water on the starboard bow which he knew could not at that season be ice, and instantly gave erders to put his helm hard a-starboard. Almost simultaneously the first mate gave a similar order, having seen the same object, which was also at the same time reported by the look-out men. The vessel played off under her starboard helm two or three points, when she took the ground. The engines wore then stopped, and it would appear from the evidence that she re mained there for about 20 minutes, during which time her head payed off to port. Shortly after striking the water was discovered to have filled the fore peak, and also to have found its way into the engine -room. The engines were moved slo ply a-head, which had the effect of casting her head more to seaward, and the captain having discovered that the channel ahead appeared free from danger, gave orders to go on at full speed, which was done, and the ves sel went off apparently into deep water ; but neither previ ously nor subsequently to the accident was the lead used. After consultation with the chief engineer, the captain de termined to run for St. John's, Newfoundland, the then nearest port. In proceeding thither the vessel became almost unmanageable from the injured state of the rudder and the quantity of water in the forehold ; but the master succeeded, notwithstanding the stormy state of the weather, in getting her into St. John's on the 13th, about two p.m. and beached her in the harbour. After some repairs were effected by means of divers, and the construction of a tank in the fore part of the ship, she sailed from St. John's on the 27th Oct., and, after a very stormy passage across the Atlantic was brought safely into Liverpool on the 3d of Nov. inst. I should here mention that the captain, who, at the request of his legal adviser, was sworn to give evi dence, does not agree with the mate's entries in the log book as to the state of the weather on the evening of the accident. The terms he used to describe the weather were dark and hazy,' not foggy, a little rain occasionally, some times clearing up ; and the mate, in his evidence, dis claims any intention of implying by the entry in the log that the weather was what would be called ' dense fog.' But the united testimony of the witnesses certainly goes to prove that the night was very dark and thick, with drizzling rain ; and in confirmation of this fact, several of them give it as their opinion that a ship's light might have been seen at a distance of from one to two miles. In my opinion the strongest indication of the dark and thick state of the weather is the circumstance that the danger was scarcely seen before the ship struck. I cannot dismiss the question of discrepancy between the entries in the log-book and the evidence of the witnesses without a word of comment on the statement made by the master, that he was not in the habit of examining the log-book--a duty which, I am informed by the assessors, he ought to consider as incumbent on him, both for his own protection and for the benefit of his owners, in case of accident or loss, It is with regret that lam corn- , polled to pronounce the master in default. By a reference to the chart, and from his own evidence, the courses steered would have taken him within six or seven miles of Cape Race, assuming that he had no lateral current, as the compasses appear to have been perfectly correct. The coarse, in the estimation of my assessors, is too fine in such weather, and in a vicinity so notoriously dangerous. lam opinion that a cast of the lead should have been taken about nine p.m., when the computed distance from noon had been run. This precaution would have shown the captain that he was not justified in assuming his position to be such as he too confidently concluded, and that instead of being, as he supposed, 16 miles to the southward of the Cape, he was in reality close upon the land. Tho neglect to use the lead under such circumstances, and the navigation of his vessel at full speed off this coast in thick weather, undoubtedly caused this accident; and after the repeated warnings which commanders of vessels on the North American sta tions have received in reference to both these points, I am bound to visit him with severe censure. I confess that it is painful to me to do so in this, as in every other case, when the commander is a man of great experience ; and Captain Stone appears to have hitherto navigated his ships in safety for 115 voyages across the Atlantic. The result proves that such a man even may get into difficulties with all his experience, and shows the necessity which is laid upon all commanders to use every precaution in their power. And why these pre cautions should be invariably used in the Ro3 al Navy, and the neglect of them visited with most severe penalties, while in the merchant service they are so frequently omitted, I am at a loss to understand. In the sentence which the court has deemed it to be their painful duty to pass on Captain Stone, every consideration has been given to his long and hitherto successful career, and the court has borne in 'lliad his subsequent and laudable ex ertions in bpinging home safely his disabled ship. This case differs fi•om others of a recent date, in the fact that there has been no loss of life or of the ship, and I have t therefore felt j us tified in Passing a lighter se ntence. B mses.

Hillyar, left Athens on the 31st ult. for Corfu, Malta, and England. She arrived at Corfu on the morning of the 4th inst., and having em barked military invalids, women, and children, left under steam on the 6th. She arrived at Malta on the morning of the Bth, after a fine passage. The following is a list of the naval and military super numeraries, &c., on board—Eight seamen, pen sioned ; 12 ditto, dismissed the service as objection able characters ; one man under sentence of court martial; 25 naval invalids; 63 seamen for disposal in England ; 3 ditto for Malta Hospital ; 10 dis tressed British seamen, crew of the late British bark Star of the North ; 3 military officers, 93 sol diers, 14 women, and 23 children. The Star of the North, John Watson, master, 370 tons, belonging to Charles Alcuck and Co., London, laden with Indian corn, from Kustendji for Cork or Falmouth, was wrecked on Oct. 13 last at Mandilli, during the night, the master having mistaken one light for another. The ship went to pieces the following day. Her Majesty's ship Trident brought the crew to the Piraeus, and they are to proceed home in the Queen. There were at Corfu her Majesty's ship Liffey, 35, screw frigate, Capt. G. Parker, and the Firefly, surveying ship, Commander A. Mansell. The Wan derer, 4, gunvessel, Commander M. C. Seymour, and the Surprise gunvessel, Commander W. 11. I Whyte, were on the west coast of Greece. It was reported that the Liffey was about to be sent to the coast of Syria. Her Majesty's despatch vessel Psyche, 2, Lieut.-Commander R. Sterne, left Malta on the Bth inst. with despatches for the Commander in-Chief at the Pireeus. The Queen is under orders to leave for England on Wednesday or Thursday to be paid off, On Sunday night a telegram from", the Prussian Government was received at Plymouth, ordering the immediate return to Dantsic of the Prussian ships of war, Niobe, 24, Captain Kuper ; Musquito, 12, Captain HassensL . ein ; and Rover, 10, Captain Warpfan. The Rover arrived in the Sound on the 21st Oct.; the two others on the 24th. The three ships were then bound to Madeira, the West Indies, and New York, for the exercise of their crews, among whom there are many cadets, and would have left as usual in a few days but for the course of political events in the North of Europe. They will probably leave the Sound at noon to-day. The Warrior, 40, iron frigate, Capt. Arthur A. Cochrane, C. 8., in the Warrior dock at Portsmouth, has, according - to established custom, had her hull below the water-line and the compositions and ex perimental sheathings with which it is coated exa mined and reported upon to the Admiralty by the officials of the dockyard. It is four and a halt months since the Warrior was in dock. She was then coated below the water-line with the preser vative and anti-fouling compositions prepared by the Admiralty's Chemical Assistant, and at the same time had three patches of " Brown's vitreous sheathing" attached to her port side. The ship's bottom, as she now lies in dock, has the appearance of a well-made thrummed-mat, being covered with a fine crop of tuft weed, which must have grown at the rate of about three-quarters of an inch per month since the ship has been afloat to reach its present condition. The vitreous sheathing had less of this weed upon it than the compositions, and they have adhered to the ship's bottom with two exceptions. It is impossible, however, to say how far these small plates (which are about 12 or 14in. in length and about 4in. in width, and are attached to the ship's bottom by a hot cement) have pro tected the iron until they have been removed, and the surface hat been laid bare and examined. The same remark will also apply to the composi tions, for there are signs of corrosion, over the lines of rivet heads at the ship's bows that require t o be very closely looked into. On one occasion of the Black Prince being docked at Portsmouth it was discovered that not only had the anti -fouling composition attacked the lower edges of the tier of armour plates where they had been bevelled off with the cold chisel and file, and the fibre of the iron thus laid bare, but that the majority of the rivet heads throughout the bottom were also attacked in a similar manner. It may be, perhaps, a matter of a great moment whe ther a ship's lower tier of armour-plates is slowly eaten into by anti -fouling compositions and pitted with innumerable holes ; but it is a matter of serious moment when the rivets of a ship's bottom plates a re being thus g radually and surely destroyed, that is, so far as their holding powers are concerned, and this is precisely what remains to be ascertained in the case of the Warrior. Nothing certain, however, can be stated on the subject until the compositions have been scraped off, and an opportunity thus afforded for a full exam ination of the ship's bottom plates and their fastenings. There are existi ng in dications of mischief to the rivet heads at the bows bottom s from the ship to warrant a careful scr aping and ex amination of every part of the ship's k e el to water - line. In boar d the ship is in e n r d o i m pd o rder. M an y improvements h ave b een made since the ship last lay in dock at Portsmouth, but the one possessing the greatest novelty is the introduction of "ozone gas" into the en alley. Two small copper gine-room and screw reservoirs, holding about a quart imperial measure each, contain a supply of spirituous oil which flows by a pipe, after the manner of a caged bird's water fountain, into a small copper enclosed tray filled with sponge. Through this a stream of atmospheric air is blown by a pipe from a pump (the latter set in motion by a Weight a discharge pi pe alld pulley), which, passing out b y at the opposite end of the tray, passes direct to the burners. There it gives out a beautiful white light, with comparatively no heat. An apparatus for the supply of a dozen burners may be carried under the arm. It requires no gasome ter, and its use entails no danger to the ship. It emits no smell when burning, nor does the vapour e the nozzle when allowed to oFcipe unburnt from n nozzle of the burner. Its use entails no attent in beyond the winding-up, once in 24 hou rs, of the of a small weight which s ets the maehttinrtehr Ythttohfa t a h ir e pump in motion.

One of the new 300 pounder guns i n tended for Excell , ent experiment on board the gunnery ship was yesterday mounted on its carr ia g e and slide o. a the wharf at Woolwich for trial, in the presence 01, Brigadier-Gen. St. George, president, and the other . members of the Ordnance Select Committee of Woolwich Arsenal. The breech of the gun is raised or depressed on Lieut. Roche's system. The qv ratus is worked and is moved by a small pinion. working into a rack formed on a hoop encircling the gun, and a quoin is thrust under the breech when a proper adjustment has been made. The trial appeared to be satisfactory, and the gun and. fittings are to be forwarded by an early opportunity' to Portsmouth. Her Majesty's screw steamship Racer, 11 guns, 150 horse power, at Woolwich, is ordered to be taken up by the shipwright department, and put in. progress for commission. In consequence of the great amount of work con nected with the audit department at Chatham dock yard, and the incompleteness of the returns relating to that branch of the establishment, a number of shipwrights were yesterday transferred to the audit-office in the dockyard, to assist in the com pletion of the accounts .and documents relating to that department. We are requested to state that the hammered plates supplied to the Caledonia at Woolwich were manufactured by Messrs. Hill and Smith, of Brierly. hill Works, Staffordshire.

An order has been issued by Major-Gene Eyre, commanding the forces in the Chatham dibtrict, directing the infantry and other troops under his command to commence the system of route mar:3h ing at stated intervals weekly during the winter months, the season for reviews and brigade field days being now at an end. The order applies to the Royal Artillery, Royal Engineers, the troops of the line, and the Royal Marines, who are to be marched out from the garrison on stated days in. each week: The Major-General-directs that these occasions of route marching are to be turned to practical use in the instruction of the officers and men in military manoeuvres when on the march. This will be effected by the officer in command throwing forward advance columns, and effecting other movements which the nature of the country traversed will permit. On these occasions the junior officers are to make flying sketches of the district visited, and these, together with an accom panying report on the nature of the country with regard to military operations, are to be forwarded from time to time to the Major-General for his in spection and perusal. The marches will extend from six to ten miles, at the discretion of the officer in command, and the bands will in all cases accom• Pa e el tr l o . op i s l . .

The Portsmouth division of Royal Marine Light Infantry was inspected yesterday forenoon by Major-Gen. Lord William Paulet, C. 13., command ing the South-Western district. The division was fot med up in two battalions, drawn up in line in the large grass space fronting the barracks, under the command of Colonel Ayles. At the conclusion of the inspection his Lordship expressed himself en tirely satisfied with the appearance and steadiness of the men un d er arms, and the precision with which the various movements were executed, and said that he should with very great pleasure for' ward a most favourable report of the general . cffi ciency of the di v i s i on to th e G enera l Commando* . in- C hief. Mr. Parson's Whi c h breech-loading 6 pound er gun, - Woolwich, satisfactorily proved a short t ime ago at Wool yesterday underwent a final trial at the proof butt in the Royal Arsenal, in the presence of the Select Committee of Ordnance, by firing 100 rounds. The entire test occupi ed only 621 minutes, including a delay which to ok place at the sixth round. The 94 rounds fired from that time were completed in 42 minute's, or one round in 30 seconds. Although, from the rapid firing, the gun at its termination was so hot that the hand could not touch it, the breech action worked with perfect freedom, and maintained the breech quite gas.. tight. Mr. Parsons suggests the adaptation of his plan to guns of larger calibre, as by it the sphere ti s which serves the place of the vent-piece can b made of any size and strength necessary, as it has no t to be lifted out of its place in the opera l o ading.
