Royal Albert, 121, screw, is still in the dry dock in her Majesty's dockyard, Sheerness. Her machinery is fast completing, together with her rigging. In conse quence of the steam engine being at work clearing the mud out of the basin, she will have to remain where she is for another week. Formidable, 84-gun ship, is lying at Sheerness, and is pretty well ready for sea, with the exception that she has no sailors, without which, being a sailing vessel, she will be of little use. Colossus, 81, screw.—This beautiful model of a two decked line-of-battle ship having fitted her propeller, which was delayed somewhat beyond the usual time in the Melampus, will light fires to-day to prove her boilers and machinery. This being satisfactory she will proceed to the measured mile to test her speed, which we ven ture to prophesy will average 10.6 knots per hour. The Boscawen, 70, flag ship of Rear-Admiral Fan shawe, C. 8., commander-in-chief on the North America and West Indies station, is under orders to leave Ports mouth for her destination on Tuesday next. The Falcon, 16, screw steam-sloop, just finished build ing at Pembroke, is to be brought round to Portsmouth for fitting out. A party of riggers and seamen went round to that port to bring her round there in the Melampus on Friday. Her Majesty's steam-sloop Salamander, 6, Comman der Ellman, has been put out of commission pro tern., and her crew paid wages, and granted ten days' leave. She has been four years in commission. The hired transport Fantome, loaded with provisions from the Royal Clarence-yard, for Varna, dropped out to Spithead on Friday, and hag since sailed for the seat of war.

PATRON-A.R.H. PRINCE ALBERT. ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION, UNDER ENTIRELY NEW MANAGEMENT. THE LORD AUCKLAND TRANSPORT. The loss of three soldiers at sea, and the deaths which have occurred since the Lord Auckland put back to Plymouth Sound, have naturally attracted much atten tion, and caused inquiry regarcling the origin of such a calamity. It was at first attributed to insufficient ven tilation, then to the impurity of the Thames water, and latterly to the condition of the troops, and their want of attention to cleanliness. The last seems to be the prin-, cipal reason. The Lord Auckland is a barque of 628 tons, was bu It at Calcutta in 1836, and employed on her last voyage in conveying convicts to Hobart Town. She then had cn board 246 convicts, 50 soldiers, six women, and seven children, besides a crew of 31 men, all of whom slept in the 'tween decks. Two of the convicts died ; 248 embarked, and 246 landed. One birth occurred GREAT NOVELTY.

From Hobart Town she went to _Bombay and took cargo to London, where she was placed in dry dock, had her bottom sheathed and re-bolted, ballast shifted, and 50 tons of washed river ballast added. On this there are now stowed 60 tons of coal, 450 casks of porter, and the ship's stores. The water, which has been started here is the filtered water from the London Docks and was used by all on board. Before departure the ship and orovisions passed a satisfactory inspection in the pre• Bence of General Beresford, the Commandant at .Chat• ham ; Captain Lock, It N., Naiit StiPerintendent ; and Mr. Gladstone, surveyor, East India Company. The troops numbered 192, the crew 26, so that there were 218 souls on board. The Ventilation and Lighting byJoaN LESLIE, Esq., maintains an Equal and Cool Temperalure in the Hot•est Weather.

The Rhadamanthus steam-transport, and the Ale pus, sailing transport, left Spithead on Friday night for Plymouth, Pembroke, and Scotland. The Spiteful, paddle-wheel steam-sloop, Commander A. Kynaston, went down the river. on Friday to try her engines, and, as they worked satisfactorily, she re mained at Greenhithe until her compasses were ad justed, and came up to Woolwich again on Saturday evening. She is now ready for sea, and it is expected she will receive orders to proceed and join the fleet in the Black Sea. The - Jackal iron paddle-wheel steam-vessel, ;Lieu tenant Commander Jackson, went down the river on trial on Thursday, and had her compasses adjusted before she returned to Woolwich. She was placed under orders, and left at an early hour on Saturday morning for the coast of Scotland, to protect the Scottish fisheries in the North Sea. The Jackal may meet with a prize or two on that station, as it is generally believed some of the Russian Indiamen will come round through the Pentland Frith, instead of venturing up the English Channel. The steam-vessel African arrived at Sheerness on Saturday last at 8.30 p.m., with supernumeraries from Portsinouth for the Baltic fleet, for passage out by the Dauntless, and they. were drafted over the same evening to the Dauntless. The Hornet, steam-sloop, Commander F. A. Campbell, completed her coaling at 7.30 p.m. on Saturday last at Sheerness, and came down to harbour anchorage to make good defects, and await Admiralty orders. The Dauntless, Captain Ryder, on Saturday com pleted taking in shot, shell, &c., of the largest calibre. She takes the mails (nine large bags), besides a great number of packages and parcels. Yesterday morning's mail was put on board previous to her departure. She takes the following supernumeraries :—Capts. Alexander and Wemyss, . Royal Marines, for disposal in the fleet ; Lieutenants Graham, and G. F. Blake—the former to join the James Watt, the latter for the Neptune; Lieutenant F. C. Knight, R,M., exchanged from the Formidable for service in the Dauntless, with Lieutenant W. J. Kinsman, of the Dauntless, A. Capel, H. Austin, and A. F. Hunt, midshipmen ; M. Lyon, master's-assistant; J. B. Sterling and R. M. Lloyd, naval cadets ; 11 gunners of the Royal Marine Artillery, and 17 petty, officers, seamen, and marines. The pay yacht from Chatham arrived at Sheerness on Saturday last, to pay advance to 40 first and second class boys from the Waterloo, and 13 Royal naval coast volunteers, - , who have gone out in the Dauntless, The Dauntless is to return to England again immediately she has distil- buted her ammunition, shell, shot, and stores, &c., to . . the respective ships to which they are consigned. She will not be absent for more than three weeks. Mr. Mil!bank, the Trinity pilot at Sheerness, was sent on board by admiral's order, which was afterwards countermanded, and she left here yesterday at 11.30 The troops, many of whom are Irish, are sent out by the East India Company to join the 10th, 24th, 60th, and 87th Regiments. They consist chiefly of recruits, are under command of Lieutenant Stewart, of the 24th, and lir medical charge of Dr. John Hooper, Assistant- Surgeon in the East India Company's service. It is said that several had just left Chatham Hospital. Their diet was much the same as that of the crew, only that each soldier had, in addition, a pint of porter daily. After drinking this some of them would lie about on the decks for hours, and gross inattention to cleanliness was the result. Great want of discipline prevailed from the com mencement. On one occasion they released a prisoner from his irons ; on the 28th ult., after the ship was put about they refused to go below at night, and even on arrival in the Sound di.-obeyed the commands of their officers, which resulted in a sentence by court-martial on the 2d inst. All the deaths have occurred among the troops who were berthed in the 'tween decks. The crew are berthed in a topgallant forecastle, and only one afflicted with dysentery has been sent on board the hos pital-ship. Since last report Serg. Taylor, of the 60th, has died. He was attacked on Friday morning on board the Endyinion, and was conveyed to the hospital-ship. He fe:i almost immediately into a state of collapse, and died at 6 p.m. On Saturday evening there were on board the Andromeda, under charge of Dr. Wm. Dalby, R.N. 25 cholera cases, of which 4 were improving and 15 convalescent. Among the remaining 6is that of a cor poral, .who, with his wife and child, are in a very dan gerous state. The premonitory symptom is diarrhoea and the general characteristics, violent purging, vomit ing, cramp, thirst, &c. The names of the 11 fatal cases which have occurred are as follows :—ln the Channel, John Slade, 24th ; John Connor, 87th ; and John Quin tin, 24th. In the Sound, Michael Cronin, 87th ; and Wm. Wilson, 60th Rifles. On board the Andromeda, Wm. O'Brien, 10th ; Michael Haterne, 87th ; Mary Heeling, woman, 60th ; Eliza Bardling, child, 87th Wm. Cunningham, 60th ; and . Sergeant Taylor, 60th. On board the receiving hulk Endymion there are now 6 officers, 127 rank and file, 12 women, and 7 children. Medical examination takes place every two hours, and the men are encouraged in all kinds of suitable amuse ment. Dr. J. Henry, R.N., has medical charge. Cap tain Skinley and the crew of the Lord Auckland, who are all in good health, remain on board their ship. &riot quarantine is maintained throughout, and the boat _ . duty is performed by boats from the Calcutta, 34, and the Meander, 44, now in the Sound. Capt. Stopford, of thelortner ship, is the naval inspecting officer. Eleven days elapsed 'between the. embarkation of the troops and the arrival of the ship here. While in the Channel the weather was calm and extremely sultry. Had the troops been embarked et a western port they would, in 24 hours, have been well into the Atlantic Ocean. Of the hundreds of emigrant ships which have left Ply mouth none have been .obliged to return under such cir- cumstances as those which prevailed on board the Lord Auckland ; ict fact, the return of a ship, under any cir. curnstances, is a case of very rare occurrence. a.m. under steam power, in .pilot charge of her sailing master, Mr. William Stanton. Mr. Francis G. Ban, assistant engineer of the first class, from Fisgard, hati joined the Dauntless by an Admiralty order, and proceeds in her to the Baltic. The Tortoise, Edward Russel, second master (acting), arrived at Sheerness on Saturday last from Devonport and Portsmouth, with stores for that yard ; she also proceeds to Woolwich and Deptford yards. • The Waliner Castle, of London, hired troop-ship, Commander Price, from London for Copenhagen, was towed down to the Nore on Saturday morning last by the steam-tug Robert Bruce,,where she brought up for the tide, in consequence of a strong north-east wind. The following ebb tide she got under way and proceeded. The Waliner Castle is one of the hired transports to be placed at the disposal of the Anglo-French commanders in the Baltic, for the conveyance of troops which are to be transported from the line-of-battle ships now in the Baltic.

Colonel Garrett—l don't remember ever receiving any letter of the kind alluded to from you, and know of no letter to which the question has reference. Prisoner (through the Court)—Be kind enough to re consider the question, and say whether the answer that I gave was not this :—" That I should not like to ruin any young man's prospects; and if you would repri mand him severely, and put a stop to these occurrences, I would be satisfied ?" Prisoner—lt is understood that " the question" means the preceding:question ? The President—Oh, yes. Colonel Garrett—l have already stated that when I reprimanded the officer, I do not think I made any ob servations to Lieutenant Perry, nor do I recollect his having made use of the reply stated by Lieut. Perry. Major-General Wetherall intimated that this would be the case for the prosecution on the fist and second instances of the charge ; arid he would now proceed on the third and fourth instances of the chlrge. The De puty-Judge-Advocate would rend that portion of the charge, and the first evidence he proposed to give would be documentary. The .Deputy-Judge-Advocate then read as follOws : " For scandalous, infamous conduct, unbecoming an officer anti a . ,<Yentleman, in the f o ll ow i ng i nstances : " Third. For having on the 21st of July, 1854, at Wind sor, when examined :is a witness before the c , iurt-inartial, which was then and there being hell for the trial of Lieut. Thomas Fergus Greer, in reply to the following question - Will you swear positively that Captain Nicholas did not reprimand officers against whom you had made a com plaint to the commanding officer ?' made the following an• swer :—` I have t a k en au oa th a l ready. Lieutenant Nicholas never to my knowledge censured anybody, he himself (meaning Captain Nicholas) having ill-treated others on joining'—he, the prisoner, then well knowing that so much of the said answer as is comprised in the following words, `he himself having ill-treated others on joining,' was false. " Fourth. For having on the day and year aforesaid, and at the place aforesaid, in a certain letter addressed and delivered by him, the prisoner, to the Deputy-Judge-Ad vocate officiatine , at the trial of Lieutenant Thomas Fergus Greer, made the following statement :—'Major Maxwell has stated on oath that Captain Nicholas never ill-treated young officers. I could put questions to prove that he did and that he (meaning Captain Nicholas) aids and abets nearly everything of the kind that takes place' —he, the prisoner, then well knowing that so much of the said statement as imputed to Captain Nicholas `that he ill treated young officers, and aided and abetted others in so doing,' was false." Major-General Wetherall—ln proof of the question and answer, I lay before the Court a certified copy of that portion of the proceedings on Lieutenant Greer 's trial which I received from the hands of the Deputy- Judge-Advocate-General, and it bears the seals of his office. [The paper was here handed in.] Lieutenant-Colonel Pipon was then sworn to give evidence on the fourth inst-ince of the charge. The prisoner here wished to make a statement relative to the letter written by him to Lieutenant-Colonel Pipon, to the effect that he thought he had a right to do so, in consequence of what Major Pack told him on his own trial, Major Pack acting then as deputy-judge. advocate. The President said the letter was not yet before the Court. • Prosecutor (Major-General Wetherall)—Were you act ing as deputy-judge -advocate at thecourt-martial held for the trial of Lieutenant Thomas Fergus Greer, of the 46th Regiment, held on or about the 24th of July last ? Witness—l was. Prosecutor—Did you on that ocsasion receive a letter from Lieutenant Perry, the prisoner now before the Court ? 'Witness—l did receive a letter signed by Lieutenant Perry. Piosecutor—ls the letter now produced the same Letter ? Witness—Yes, it is. Prosecutor—ls it in the same state as when you re ceived it ? Witness—lt is in the same state as when I received it and handed it over. The letter has not been altered since I received it ? The Deputy-Judge-Advocate then read as follows : " Windsor B trracks, July 21. "Sir,—l humbly submit that lam the virtual prosecu tor in this case, and as Colonel Garrett, the nominal pro secutor, declines to put questions necessary to the elucida tion of the truth, I ask to have the opportunity of cross examining the witnesses. I understand that Major Max well has stated on oath that Captain Nicholas never ill-treated young (Akers. Were I allowed the opportu nity I could put questions to prove that he did, and that he aids and abets nearly everything of the kind that takes place.—l have the honour to be, your most obedient hum ble servant, "J.

Corporal John Smith was called to prove the hand writing, when The Prisoner said—To save the time of the Court I am quite ready to state that I wrote the letter of my own free will. I signed it, and addressed it to the De puty-Judge-Advocate without consulting anybody. The Deputy-Judge-Advocate then 'read the certified extract as given in the fourth instance of the charge. Prisoner—There are questions and answers both pre vious and after this question and answer, which would materially qualify both. They would show that the an swer was extracted from me contrary to my wish. I objected, at first, to answer on the ground that the ques tion did nut bear upon the case, but I was told that I must answer. The words were put into my mouth. I do not, however, deny that I made the answer, and I am I prepared to prove its truth. - The Deputy-Judge-Advocate said the prisoner could procure certified copies of any portion of the evidence he pleased, on application to the Judge-Advocate-General. Ensign Henry Lawson was then sworn, the third and fourth charges being read over to him. Prosecutor—How long have you been in the 46th Regiment ? Witnty;s--About four months. Prosecutor--Have you ever received ill-treatment at the hands of Captain Nicholas ? Witness—No, I have not. Prosecutor—ls it with in yo ur knowledge that C a pt a i n . young offi- Nicholas aids and abets others in annoying cers; or that he has aided and abetted others in so doing?

This regiment was one of the first raised under the Militia Act in 1852. It numbers 1,190 rank and file, but, in consequence of the greater number of the married men remaining at hOme the' ser vice companies will be considerably reduced in strength. This regiment which, it is stated, has been selected to do duty in Ireland on account of the good conduct of the men, most unexpectedly received the route so lately as 12 o'clock on Monday List. Orders were at once given to pack up, and, this operation having been ac complished by Wednesday morning, the first division left Berwick-on-Tweed, by rail, for Liverpool, where they were embarked without further delay on board the Trafalgar, which sailed for Dublin. PRINCE ALFRED'S BIRTHDAY.—To-day, August C, being the 10th anniversary of the birthday of his Royal Highness Prince Alfred Ernest Albert, and the Court being resident within the precincts of this station, a ge neral royal salute at one o'clock today was fired by her Majesty's ships in Portsmouth harbour and the Bos czwen at Spithead, in honour of the day, and each of the former dressed in flags and colours all over. The Carl Magnus, the John, the Indusirie, the Emilie, the Carolina, and the Gebroders, Russian ships captured by her Majesty's cruisers, have all been con demned as lawful prizes by the High Court of Ad miralty. The general court-martial on Lieutenant James Ed ward Perry, of the 46th Regiment, re-assembled in the officers' mess-room, at the Infantry-barracks, Windsor, this morning, soon after eleven o clock. The intense interest taken in this extraordinary inquiry is shown by the increased attendance of the public ; but to prevent disappointment, it may be as well to state that the room in which the court is held, although the largest in the barracks, is so completely occupied by the members' table, and the necessary accommodation for the Deputy Judge-Advocate, the prosecutor, and the prisoner, that there does not Kemain standing-room for more than a dozen persons. Something like double that number, , however, choke up the door-way and passage. Amongst those present to-day were Colonel the Hon. Cecil Forester, M.P. Captain Bulkeley, Captain H. Seymour, and two private friends of the prisoner, whose names did not transpire. Directly after the court had been formally opened by Major Dalgetty (the Deputy -Judge-Advocate,) the examination of Colonel Garrett, K.H., the commanding officer of the 46th Regiment, was resumed. By the Court—Was the 46th Regiment inspected by any general officer subsequent to the reprimand given by you to the officers who had annoyed Lieutenant Perry, and did he make any complaint of ill-treatment to the inspecting officer on that occasion ? Colonel Garrett—The inspection immediately after must have been the autumnal inspection of 1853—in October, I think—by Major-General Cochrane, in Dublin. I believe Lieutenant Perry was present. He might have been sick, but, to the best of my recollec present, and made no co m pl a i n t o f ill * By the Court—After the letter in question (the letter Upton) had appeared in the papers, and you assembled the officers and addressed them, was Lieute as nant Curtis present ? tttorioe Co anCt'omllohoenennel Colonel Upton) believe he was.

I was one of his subalterns for a short time after I joined the , regiment, and came to Windsor. He always gave me counsel and advice, and assisted me and all the other young officers in every possible way. Prisoner —have you experienced any practical jokes since you joined the regiment, and, if so, of what nature were they? Witness— No, I have not. Ensign in Henry C arr W. Hamm on d was t h en sworn, the third and fourth instances of the charges being read over to him. Prosecut ir—How long have you been in the 46th Regiment?

Witness —Never; Captain Nicholas has always treated me with the greatest possible kindness since I joined. Prosecutor--Is it within your knowledge that Captain Nicholas aids and abets others in annoying young of ficers ; or that he has aided and abetted others in so doing ? • Witness—No, it is not. Prosecutor—What is the character of Captain Nicholas as regards his treatment of young officers on joining the regiment ? Witness—The officers who have joined since I did, to my knowledge, have always been treated with the greatest possible kindness by Captain Nicholas. Captain Mackay—The witness has not fully answered the question. Has he heard the character of Captain Nicholas ? The President—He says, to the best of his knowledge. Prosecutor—Were you ever taken by force from your room against your will, placed on the mess-table, and made to sing a song ? Witness—No, never. Prisoner—Have you never been pulled out of bed by officers of your own regiment? Major-General Wetherall apparently objected to the question as irrelevant. He said the prisoner was only asking questions at random. Witness (in answer to the question)—No, never. Prisoner—The question was asked by the prosecutor. Prosecutor—Yes, it was ; and it has been answered. Yours is the same question. I have no wish, however, to limit your questions. Prisoner--Was no other officer at Weedon pulled out of his bed, placed on the mess-table, and made to sing a song ? Witness—. Not to my knowledge. Prisoner—Was not such an occurrence spoken of amongst the officers at Weedon as having taken place there ? Witness--I never heard of anything of the kind having happened when I was there. . Prisoner —Since Major Maxwell gave his evidence, have you been spoken to in reference to your evidence ? if so, who spoke to you, and what was said to you ? Witness—l saw Major Maxwell's evidence in the newspapers. No officer has told me what to say, nor anybody. Prisoner—Before you entered the room, had you any knowledge of the points upon which you would be examined ? if so, from whom had you the information ? Witness—l had no knowledge whatever. Ensign Richard Coote was then sworn, and the charges were read over to him. Prisoner—How long have you been in the 46th Regi ment ? Witness—Since the 10th of January, 1854. Prosecutor —Have you ever received ill-treatment at the hands of Captain Nicholas ? Witness—Never. On the contrary, I have always received the greatest possible kindness and best advice from Captain Nicholas ever since I joined the regiment. Prosecutor—What is the character of Capt. Nicholas as regards his treatment of young officers ? Witness—Since I joined the regiment I have always known him treat young officers with the greatest pos sible kindness, and the character I have heard of him has been the same. Prosecutor—ls it within your knowledge that he aids and abets others in annoying young officers, or that he has aided and abetted others in so doing ? Witness—Since I joined the regiment Capt. Nicholas has never aided and abetted others in annoying young officers. Prisoner—Did not Captain Nicholas, on one occasion, call you " son of a of an ensign ?" Witness —ever on any occasion since I joined the regiment. Ensign George Morland Hutton was then sworn, and the charges were read over to him. Prosecutor—How long have you Leen in the 4Gth Regiment ? Prisoner—About ten months. Prosecutor —Hav e you ever received ill-treatment at the hands of Captain Nicholas ? IVituess—No. Prosecutor—ls it within your knowledge that Captain Nicholas aids and abets others in annoyrog young offi cers, or that be has aided and abetted others in so doing ? Witness—No. Prosecutor—What is the character of Captain Nicho las as regards his treatment of young officers on joining the regiment ? Witness—Since I joined the regiment he has always been very kind to me as a young officer. Prisoner—Did you ever hear opprobrious language used by Captain Nicholas towards young officers ? Witness—l don't remember ever having heard it. Lieutenant W. T. Waldey was then sworn, and the charges were read over to him. Prosecutor•—How long have you been in the 46th Regi in en t ? Witness—One year and three months. Prosecutor—Have you ever received ill-treatment at the hands of Captain Nicholas ? Witness—l have never received ill-treatment at the hands of Captain Nicholas; he has always acted on the contrary. Prosecutor—ls it within your knowledge that Capt.

Witness—l have never known Captain Nicholas, since I have been in the regiment, ever to take part, in word or deed, against a young officer in practical jokes. Prosecutor— What is the character of Capt. Nicholas as regards his treatment of young officers on joining the regiment ? Witness—He has always been excessively kind to me ; but I have been on detachment since any one joined junior to myself. Prisoner—Did you ever hear Captain Nicholas use opprobrious epithets towards any young officers ? Witness—Never to my knowledge. Prisoner —Will you be kind enough to refresh your memory on this point, and say whether you did not hear Captain Nicholas call one young officer a " son of a -- of au ensign ?" Witness—l never remember anything of the sort. Prisoner—Have you never said that Captain Nicholas made use of these words ? Witness—Never having heard Captain Nicholas use these words, I most decidedly never could have said so. Pt isoner—Have you not stated, even in writing, that he made use of these words ? Witness—Never, to my knowledge. Prisoner (handing up a letter to the President) —May I request that no part of this letter be shown to the wit ness, except the signature, and the letter be not read! The President—We can make no compromise with you, Mr. Perry. If a letter is put in, the 'whole of it must be read. Prisoner—But I only cross-examine upon it. I shall put it in, as part of my defence, afterwards. The letter was then handed up to the President, who read its contents with great surprise, his countenance evidently denoting that the words said to have been used by Captain Nicholas formed part of its contents. Prisoner (the President showing witness the letter)-- Is that letter in your handwriting ! Witness—lt is ; the whole of it. The President—ls that part of it in your handwriting! Witness—lt is. The prisoner said he should like to have the letter back. . A long discussion then ensued upon the point, in the course of which The Deputy Judge-Advocate said —I am the sworn officer of the Court, and the letter will be quite safe with me. It must not leave the Court to be returned to you. The President—Deliver it up, Mr. Perry. The DeputyJudge-Advocate—lt is merely for custody. The prisoner (acting on the suggestio n o f Mr. Dar viii, his legal adviser) said he should leave the letter under protest, and only for custody whil e the Court for an hour an d a quarter. wasT The e c a o r u e d r t t N o va c s o t n h s e id n er cl t e h a e re p d o f i On T t h h e e admissionr D e- e ; nty. ju of dge.A tle d t v p oc u a b t l e io. announced that the Court had decided that the document should be retained in the hands of the Deputy-Judge-Advocate, but not to be read unless demanded by the prisoner.

Waldey)---Will you now state whether Captain Nicholas used the words imputed to him or not ? Witness I state the same as I did before, that I have not the slightest remembrance of it.

Theessontial object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con iequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery In Youth, degradation in Man ia:sod, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any Aber class of disease known to modern pathologists Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled.

Among the latest is the expense of the metropolitan police courts. 44,426/. Above half this sum-23,200/.-is for the salaries of the 23 police Magistrates. These are still to be paid out of the Consolidated Fund, along with the other judicial salaries of the country, but a vote will be taken for the remainder-21,226/. —which is required to pay clerks, ushers, and incidental expenses of the police courts. .~ By the Court—Did Lieutenant Perry ever join in a practicai joke against yourself?

A writer of travels, now many years back, gave o the world a quarto upon the condition of certain of the Arabian tribes. Among other places. touched upon in this volume was the town and people of Muscat. This portion of his subject e n at yp t e r s eh i t cn the a u th or di sm i ssed in a very brief chapter, con taining mere l y the following pregnant fiords : "As for m anners, they have none ; and their customs are a b om i na b le. " Now, if a writer in our own t i me should wish to convey to his readers a comprehensive idea of the tone which p erva d es the society of officers in cer- i d Muscat.tit th : sa i wa n nu si ta r htd e i n g ot gp i Ch m :ea e nat n grnha t e ds humiliatingof i t g he be B thanritish army, we say precise words of o cofulthdeniitiidton o do better more the purely 'd re iti v kia l revelations which have taken place in the course of the various Windsor Courts-martiall It is not (m intention to-day to offer any especial comment upon the various reports we have published of these most unsatisfactory proceedings. Whether or no his persecutors can succeed in Aviising a colourable pretext for ccmpleting the ruin,- iu a military sense, of the luckless youth who was so unfortunate as to receive a commission in the 46th Regiment is a question merely affecting an indi vidual. The Courts-inartial, however, may, if they please, by an unjust decision, affix a duper stigma upan the character of the British officer than i Chas yet received. They may prove to the world that the various acts of brutality of which we have lately heard somuch are not exceptional cases, which only require to beknown that they may be censured by the superior authorities ; that they are not the results of extraordinary ruffianism in the subal terns, and extraordinary neglect on the part of the commanding officer of a particular regiment, but that they receive the approbation of a military court of inquiry, and the sanction of the Horse Guards. We trust, however, it will not come to that. A most heavy responsibility at the present moment rests upon the Courts-martial—a respon sibility compared with which the decision upon the case of an individual is but a feather iu the balance. The issue upon which they have to decide is substantially whether the officers of the English army are henceforth to be considered gen tlemen, or not gentlemen ? Should the decision— as we cannot and will not anticipate—be in oppo sition to the justice and exigencies of the case, we may readily distinguish, as heretofore, that a man is a British officer by virtue of his red coat and epaulettes,. but that he is therefore a person actuated by the high and chivalrous sentiments which inspire the conduct of English gentlemen, and that he is fit to be admitted to their society, will not necessarily follow. Any man who has perused the evidence given before the two former Courts-martial may very readily form his judg ment on the brutal attack to which your), Perry was subjected. It wou ld b e a sorry sight indeed if a Court of English officers—the Commander in -Chief, 'nay, the Queen herself—were brought upon the scene as virtually approving that attack by denying to the young man who was sub jected to it the right of defending himself with his own right hand against the last indignity which can be offered to a mangy cur. Under other circum stances we would not allow ourselves even hypothe tically to hint at the possibility of such a result ; but there is something disheartening in the appoint- Ment of this second Court-martial even before the decision was known as to the former proceedings. It was not well to multiply proceeding upon pro ceeding against an unfortunate lad—to throw him down a second time bound hand and foot before those who had previously so cruelly misused him — to place him iu a position iu which leJ eahunot inset oath with oath, bat is put to a we!l-nigh impossible proof—to leave him a second time in the position of a prisoner, when every man who has fi,llowed the particulars cf the transaction knows ‘rell that the man really on his trial in this case is the command ing officer under whose auspicvs sue:i disgraceful irregularities have occurred. Even as a friendly proceeding to Col. Garrett the form of this second Court-martial is a lucre mistake. No rational man will pay any serious attention in a case of this kind to the statements of the half-dozen officers who step forward to swear, one after another, that they "don't remember." Is it possible by multiplying non-proofs to arrive at a demonstration ? The simple fact is, that Colonel Garrett should himself be brought before a court-martial to answer for the condition of his regiment. Until that is done, nothing is done. It is the condition of the 46th Regiment upon w hi c h we require informa tion. 'Mien we say the 46th Regiment, we are sorry to add that two military commissions of in quiry are at present sitting to investigate the con duct of officers in other regiments, which, as it is stated, has been to the full as bad as that of the junior officers of the 46th. To what extent, then, does the evil prevail ? Is it to be understood that many other regiments in the service are deeply tainted with the unpleasant peculiarities of Colonel Garrett's young friends ? Our own experience of life has not been that of the mess-room and the barrack, but certainly in no public school of the kingdom, at neither university, among no circle of young men in London who aspire to the character of gentlemen, have we ever heard of such scenes of ruffianism and vice as appear to have prevailed in certain corps in the Queen's service. Since the 46th th Regimente younger in n the e notorious,Briti armysh th e doingshave of been much canvassed, and many of their methods li ht of wiling away time have been brought to light. There . There may be exaggeration here, and incorrect in formation there, but no one can doubt that in the main thecharges are true, and that a most deplor able tone of debauchery does unfortunately among the younger • officers of to say that we do not ti i e srin y. prevail is,i we trust, superfluous for us va regiment there are to look upon include all in so general ifou an nd a y cc o u n s n a g ti m on e . n o l f n ge e n v t e l r e y . manly temper and cleaner minds, such scenes as those which are stated to prevail with disgust and abhorrence. There are, more over, regiments in which the comman di ng officers many their duty, and which a re ent i re l y free fromthe do taint of violent immorality or ruffianism. Every man of any military experience affirms —and we doubt not with truth—that the character of to a r r e : g emr i m .e sesnl. table bis,endepends trot ande n u on p nu o g n hp a t t h rna a d t meo. afintain o da m me Commanding thae most import an t po i nts in the duty of It command ingt officer to make the weight of his own character felt. His subalterns must acknowledge his in fluencethe effe effect although t h e i ndfloueesnneso in as t s h er s t ir it i , n a a n n dn manners s display an d their conduct. There is no question of espionage or secret police. In so limited a circle as that of regimental society all the acts and words of each of its members soon become known to his companions. The commanding officer can very quickly see with whom. he has to deal. Every now and then a black sheep will creep into a regiment, as elsewhere. A young man of thoroughly vicious mind will every now and then obtain a commission, and then lie must be got rid of as quietly and as quickly as possible ; but we do not think so ill of young Englishmen—the sons, at least, of English gentle men —as to suppose that they are not a menab le ffi i to the i n fl uence o f th e i r comman di ng o cer, f, indeed, he be a person fit for command —a man who by hi s own lif e se t s b e f ore them th"xamtley l of that li ne o f con d uc t w hi c h ; it i s righto have should p ursue .
