The Boscawen, 70, Captain W. Glanville.—We stated in The Sun of Saturday that the Boscawen would come into harbour. That order has been countermanded, and a survey held this day at Spithead, by the master shipwright, Mr. Abethell, and assistants. A party of shipwrights and caulkers have been sent to Spithead, by the Echo steam-tug, to repair defects and to save the expense, delay, and trouble of her coming into harbour. The Phaeton, 50-gun frigate, was towed down from her moorings on Saturday last, and has been docked in No. 1 dry dock (Sheerness). She is to be surveyed immediately preparatory to her being brought forward for commission. The Meander, 44, Captain Baillie, was towed into the Sound on Thursday last, by the Confiance and Pike, steamers, when she saluted the flag of the commander in -chief, which was returned by the Impregnable, guard ship. She is to be swung for the adjustment of her compasses by Mr. Thompson, the Queen's harbour master. The Melampus, 42, and Rhadamanthus, steam-vessel, both sto"e transports, the former towed by the latter, came into this port (Portsmouth) on Saturday from the river, laden with machinery for the new screw•sloops fitting, or ordered to be fitted out, at this port. The Cossack, screw steam-corvette, on being taken out of dock, at Mr Pitcher's dockyard, Nortlifleet, on Friday, filled up her boilers, and started at 4.30 for Chatham. She passed the Nore at 6.45, and arrived at Chatham garrison point at 7.15, and at her anchorage•ground off the dockyard at 7.40. The working of the engines of 250-horse power by Maudslay, Sons, and Field, on their double piston direct acting principle, with horizon tal cylinders, was highly satisfactory and without any hot bearings in any part. The engines made from 60 to 62 revolutions per minute, with the throttle valve half open, and a pressure of 14Ibs. of steam to the square inch of the boilers. The Cossack is to be forthwith brought for ward for commission for service in the Baltic, her origi nal destination, having been built by order of the Rus sian Government for a Itus.:inn man-of-war, but re cently seized by our Government authorities, and now converting for the service aforesaid. The Resistance, 10, troop-Rhip, Master -commander Manser Bradshaw, left Woolwich at five o'cli.,ck yester-, day (Sunday) morning for the West Indies, to collect troops from several of the islands, and convey them to Halifax, Nova Scotia, and she will then bring a regi ment home from Halifax to England. The Sealark, 8, naval training brig for seamen ap prentices borne on the books of - the flig-ship, having been found too large.for the service she is now employed in, has been exchanged for the Rolla, a smaller vessel, in which the Portsmouth boys first commenced the training system, and the Sealark has been made a sail ing tender for training in seamanship the men who re ceive the rudiments of their nautical education on board the illustrious, 72, Captain Robert Harris, in Ports mouth Harbour. The Centaur, 6, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, was taken out of the steam-basin on Friday, and placed in the fitting basin, Portsmouth, o❑ Saturday afternoon, ready for docking and refit for another commission. The Volcano, floating steam factory, having had her compasses adjusted at Green lithe, was brought up again to Woolwich on Sunday, July 30, and received on board a considerable number of letters and newspapers for the officers and crews of the Baltic fleet. She also received about 10,0001. in specie, 7,5001. in gold, and the re mainder in silver, for the use of the fleet. The ca-411 was brought to Woolwich from the Bank of England on Friday afternoon, and was placed in charge of the dock yard police, and it remained in their stores until Sun day, when it was transferred to Second -Master Gilpin, who has the charge of the Volcano. She had her steam up, and left on Sunday afternoon f , r the Baltic. . - The Tartar, screw steam-corvette, was towed down the river on Saturday from Woolwich to Mr. Pitcher's, 4t North-fleet, for the purpose if being talon into dock there to be coppered and completed, according to his contract, and when finished by him she will be taken round to Chatham to be commissioned at that port. The Devonshire, receiving ship for Russian prisoners of war, Lieutenant Commander J. H. Lloyd —Mr. James Harvey, surgeon, 21st of December, 1847, now doing duty in the Fisgard for the naval coast volunteers, has taken up his commission and joined this ship. All the officers and men detained on board the Waterloo, for attempting to break the blockade in the Baltic, have been turned over to the Devonshire. Some slight cases of indisposition of the men detained on board this ship have taken place, all of whom have been promptly placed under medical treatment. The Australia, screw steam transport, came down the River to Woolwich on Saturday afternoon, and brought up at moorings off the dockyard. She will be taken into the basin to-day for the embarkation of field batteries of Royal Artillery fur Varna. The Medway, paddle-wheel steam-transport, has taken on board a number of siege guns at the Royal Arsenal, and will embark a company, and a half of another com pany, on Tuesday or Wednesday next, for conveyance to Varna. No. 112 transport -ship passed Woolwich, on Satur day, on her way to the seat of war in the East. ARRIVAL OF A TURKISH WAR STEAMER. • SUNDAY AFTERNOON'. This aftern oon , a Turkish man-of-war paddle steainer arrived at Spithead, having the eldest son of the Pacha of Egypt on board. She came up from the West, and through the Needles, and ran through Spithead, having the Turkish standard flying from her peak. She saluted the national flag, which by some means was not returned by the garrison until after it had been acknowledged by the Victory flag ship, which the latter did, we believe, to prevent the frigate going awa y, which she appeared to be doing, without the compliment being returned. She, however, hove-to off Rye, and then saluted the flag of the Commander-in- Chief, Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.C.8., which the latter returned, the garrison having, in the meantime, acknowledged the salute to the national flag. The Commander-in-Chief has ordered the Fire Queen, steam•yacht, to get up steam to go out to the Turkish frigate. He is expected to go out in her himself. The Turkish Consul at this port went out to the steamer this afternoon at five o'clock, to pay his respects to the Egyptian Prince, and receive his commands. The frigate is a remarkably fine one, of apparently the size of the English steamer Terrible, of 22 guns. Her name is not yet known. SUNDAY NIGHT. The Turkish steam-frigate which arrived here this Afternoon has come into harbour to-night. Abdallah Pacha and suite have gone to London, leaving here at 10 o'clock by special train. APPOINTMENTS. Commander—William Houston Stuart, commanding ler Majesty's sloop Modesto, 18, on the Mediterranean itation (son of Rear-Admiral Houston Stuart, superin tendent of Malta Dockyard), to the rank of captain, vice Hyde Parker, killed in action. Lieutenant--Augustus Butler, of the flag-ship Britan Mate—Basil Sidmouth de Roe Hall, of the Diamond corvette, in the Black Sea, to be lieutenant of the Bri tannia, vice Butler, promoted. The above promotions were made by Vice-Admiral Dundas, on the death of Captain Parker. Letters from the fleet complain loudly of the first of these selections. The writers very justly consider that Commander Sowell, who so nobly distinguished himself in taking the stockade before which Captain Parker sa crificed his life, far more deserved the honour of promo tion than Commander Stewart, whose ship (a small 18- gun sloop) has not been employed in the Black Sea fleet, but confined to movements in the peaceful waters near his father's flagship at Malta. It is rumoured that Capt. Henry Eden, the late pope lar commodore at Woolwich, will succeed Rear-Admiral Stopfurd at Plymouth, in the event of the latter gallant officer accepting a command in the Baltic. THE ROYAL STEAM SQUADRON. The Royal steam squadron, consisting (Atha Victoria and Albert, Fairy, and Elfin, under the command of Captain the Hon. Joseph Denman, also the Dasher steam-vessel, Captain Le Febvre, returned from Cowes Roads to Portsmouth harbour on Saturday. RETURN OF ADMIRAL STOPFORD. Rear-Admiral the Hon. Montagu Stopford, Admiral Superintendent of Devonpoit dockyard, left for London on Thursday and returned to Plymouth on Saturday. The gallant officer will shortly resign his duties at De vonport, in consequence of his appointment by thew Ad miralty as Captain of the Fleet in the Black Sea. The control 'of the dockyard will probably be placed in the hands of a senior captain. At the present moment Ad miral Dundas has no captain of the fleet, but the appoint ment of Capt. Seymour, under Sir Charles Napier, has operated so advantageously in the Baltic, that the Ad miralty determined to make a similar appointment under Admiral Dundas. THE NEW GUN-BOATS. The workmen employed by Messrs. Humphreys, Ten nant, and Dyke, in fitting the engines of the Arrow, screw steam-despatch gun-boat, were at work all day yesterday (Sunday), in order to have her made ready as soon as possible. The shipwrights of the dockyard en gaged upon her were at work at the same time, as it is desirable that she should be so advanced as to be able to be taken out of dock to day. TESTIMONIAL TO LIEUT. HAMILTON. The seamen and marines of her Majesty's ship Bellero phon, 78, Capt. Lord George Pauiet, anxious to testify their high esteem and regard fur Lieut. Hamilton, late lieutenant of that ship, but now of the 50-gun frigate Leander, have forwarded the undermentioned useful ar ticles as a testimonial for his acceptance :—A. cocked hat, dress-sword and belt, a pair of epaulettes, and a hand some silver tobacco-box, bearing the following inscrip tion :—" Presented to Lieut. John C. Hamilton, by the seamen and marines of hor Majesty's ship Bellerophon, as a token of their esteem." DEA.TH OF COMMANDER EAGLES. By advices received from the Blauk Sea, we regret to hear of the death of Commander Thomas Eagles, of No. 43 transport, off Varna. He fell avictim to over-zeal in the discharge of his duties on behalf of the Government, and died after a short illness, although every aid which the medical skill of the army and navy could afford was rendered. MAIL FOR THE BLACK SEA. The following notice has been posted at the principal gate of Woolwich dockyard :—" Letters for the Black Sea Fleet will be despatched by her Majesty's steam. vessel Industry, on August 4, for Devonport. Letters for seamen, marines, anal boys serving in the Black Sea, will be forwarded by this opportunity if posted in time, and marked by !aer Majesty's steam•ves el Industry.' " The postage of one penny must be paid on the letter at the time of posting it. • I,:rir a letter received 'from the Jiiinna hare .yesterday tncrning, dated the 24th instant, in . Ki,ge Bay, she was then most unexpectedly ordered to return to England immediately, after sending seine particular mails home via Copenhagen and Hamburg. Time was not even allowed to give notice to the officers and crews of the squadron that there was an opportunity to send letters home, such was the urgency of her departure. Nothing whatever is known to the officers through out the squadron as to their final destination. The squadron had a tedious passage nut, owing to continual calms, and were considerably detained in consequence of the St. Vincent being such a slow sailer. The Bull Dog fell in with the squadron about 100 miles below Kioge Bay, and with all her steam up she could not tow her more than five and a half knots. The entire passage out was accomplished by steam. On thy 21st instant considerable alarm was created on board the Commodore's ship, the Hannibal, by the appearance of a decided case of small-pox amongst the French sol diers. Happily, up to the time of our leaving there has been no further case. Every precaution was taken, every man has been medically inspected throughout the ship, and the greatest cleanliness is observed, and a free ventilation is enforced The utmost harmony exists among the officers and men with the French troops. The offices of the Hannibal are very much disap pointed at not being permitted to pay a visit to Copen hagen, a boon that has been granted to the officers of all the other ships of war, both English and French whilst t s, 48 4 1 Il iwnaeh t ouye Cl i a pun r sc e l silh ' ds e t o,l h h sl,ii l hkt or i e t een n h rrl vi e o l( glebui usual riori i niyttdi 4 ibe e aietvi noi ß i a wdd i a tt u eeha y hnol es , le u tco a i eel fffisnrtaadtoucatrnefshian grumbling, 8 h e for cr et,,wh to aashhqs;noeudi dhooameuutrneror. honourablre . p. lreeesdlTc wt commodore onicei uttcomhhhluwdeolotrdrdtheirhtoeubeerri rue IE is very soon remedi e d i f be didrneeess, SHIPS IN CO NI &c.

This inactivity for the exigencies of war, however, admits of a larger nutuber of tnen being placed upon the ships building and re-fitting. There are four three-deckers in course of construction en adjacent building slips in this establishment: —.The Marlbo rough, 131, screw ; Prince of W ales, 120 ; Royal Sovereign, 120 ; and Royal Frederick, 110. The last named has been ready for launching for several years, g j h u juxtaposition with txtapher ship-room but being on the sailing principle, and a s i ster ship to the Queen, it has not been deemed advi sa bl e to float her worth Ithug we should something, h her decay if in th e w ater, perhaps amount s to nothing. The Marlborou g h i s being got out of hand as f ast as pos. ctu that, iat h , a p v l e ace t d ho i l sible. The Shannon, a 60-gun frigate of 600. horse power, is also being got on with as fast as possible, considering that much delay has been caused by the slip not being long enough, which defect is now being remedied by the addition of more flooring to the basement. The three deckers Royal Sovereign and Prince of Wales are newly up in frame, and have had no hands employed upon them for some time. But it is in the outfit of a &et that Portsmouth Dockyard excels, as We have seen in the equipment and storing o f t h e great armaments that have sailed for the purposes of scientific trials or warlike demonstrations during the past ten years. The excel lence of the work, and the expedition with which it is done in this yard, in every department, have assisted materially in maintaining for the British navy that cha racter for durability, strength, and perfection of fitting that makes it present so gratifying a contrast to the Russian and other navies. MILITARY. CHATHAM', JULY 29. The Royal Sappers and Miners at Chatham are daily pushing the field-work operations to a further extent for the purpose of carrying out another siege, which is expected to take place some time during the next month. Their operations will include the first, second, and third parallels, together with approaches with them, as also sapping. both single and double mining, the commencing of the covered way, and last the descent of the ditch. 32 recruits are to join the establishment on Monday next, the 31st, from Woolwich, to go through a course of field-work instruction previous to their being posted to their companies. The senior batch of officers of the East India Com pany's Engineers at Chatham are to leave the establish went, for the purpose of visiting and inspecting the various works in progress in the manufacturing districts through England, and to report ;hereon to the authori ties at head-quarters. Captain Crofton's Company 7th battalion, on being relieved at Dublin by Captain Kennedy's Company 7th battalion from Kilkenny, left Dublin for England, and on arriving at head-quarters at Woolwich, immediately marched into , the camp on the common. One lieutenant, threw non-commissioned officers, and twenty gunners of the Royal Artillery left Woolwich dockyard station of the North Kent Railway, ,at 8 a.m. on Saturday, for London, to receive and conduct 50 horses sent to head-quarters at Woolwich, from Leith. No. 2,4, and light company of the 35th Regiment (Royal Sussex), are under orders for embarkation at Gravesend on Tuesday next. Their strength consists of 14 officers, 24 serjeants, 9 drummers, and 290 rank and file. Forty women and 64 children will embark with the troops. A great portion of the baggage goes this day from Brompton barracks to the place of embarka tion. The ship Monarch conveys the troops to Calcutta. I CoRK, July 28.—This morning, at half-past six o'clock, the last division of the 12th Regiment, consist ing of two companies, to the number of 200 men, two captains, Hutchinson (commanding) • and Vereker, and six subalterns, sailed from Merchant's Quay in the Prince, for Queenstown, to embark in the Empress Eugenie, for conveyance to Melbourne. The excellent band of the 91st Regiment accompanied them from the barracks to the quay, playing as they proceeded, a variety of lively and suitable airs. The music was fre quently drowned by the loud and prolonged cheering of the crowd, and the equally vociferous responses of the men. Yesterday, at two o'clock, the baggage of the regiment was sent down by one of the river steamers. A. detachment, to the number of forty privates and two sergeants, under the command of Lieutenant Palmer, escorted it. Thirty-five women accompanied the detach ment. The depot of the 12th Regiment will, we are in I wined, remain in Cork garrison. It consists of about forty men, under the command of Captain Segraves. A detachment of the 57th Regiment arrived here yesterday from Limerick. A detachment of the 64th has also arrived. We have been informed that a communication was received yesterday at the military barracks from the Horse Guards, giving the infantry permission to wear the moustache. THE MILITIA. CAVAN MILITIA.—The Marquis of Headfort, lieutenant of this county, has been pleased to appoint Mr. Thomas G. J. Phillips, of Glenview, to a lieutenancy in the Cavan militia, vice Mr. John Gumley, resigned.

This is understood - to be in preparation fur the general muster of the battalion, which will take place on the issue of the new rifles. - DUMFRIES MILITIA.—We understand that, at the re commendation of the Lord-Lieutenant, Major McMurdo will be shortly gazetted Lieutenant. Colonel Commandant of the militia force which is to be enrolled in Dumfries shire, Ruxburglishire, and Selkirkshire. By this ar rangement the Colonelcy will be abolished, and there will be a second Majority in lieu thereof. THE New MILITARY UNIFORM.—We have already given a description of the new Light Infantry uniform, and we have to announce that, on Saturday afternoon, the patterns for the regiments of cavalry (not Hussars or Lancers) were sealed at the clothing board, White hall. The new attire is in every respect similar to that worn by the Hungarian troops in the Austrian service. The full-dress equipment consists of a tunic or frock, somewhat rounded. On the breast is a profusion of gold lace terminating in " frogs." The back also is highly ornamented. The rank of the officer is indicated by varying forms of the lace. Henceforward no sash or shoulder belt will be worn. The shacko, as at present existing, will be abolished, and in its stead will be sub stituted a helmet, composed of felt with gilt mountings and white plume. The trousers will remain as at pre sent. For the heavy cavalry regiments, the Lancers and Hussars, no change has yet been finally determined. MILITARY SCHOOLAI ASTERS. —The uniform of the schoolmasters about to be located at various stations throughout the kingdom, was decided upon on Saturday, and consists of a blue frock coat, with red facings, re• sembling in shape that worn at the Normal Schoul, Chelsea, and on the shoulder scarlet cloth, surmounted by a gold shoulder knot, black trousers with red seam, and a cap with a scarlet band. The first-class school master is distinguished by three gilt stars on the facings, the second by two, and the third by oue. The three classes wear sashes, but the assistants the humble girdle only. THE RUSSIAN SLOOP•OF-WAR AT THE SANDWICH ISLANDS. We copy the following from the Panama Star and Herald of July 3, received by the West India mail last night : "News from the Sandwich Island to the 20th of May inform us that the Briti4ll sloop-of-war Trincomalee, 24 gnus, arrived at that port on the 19th of May, from Callao, and anchored in the inner harbour. The Russian frigate Diana, 60 guns, also from Callao, had arrived, but had anchored in the roads. No official intimation of war had been received. "The annexed additional items we copy from the Sandwich Islands papers : " An audience was given by his Majesty, on Tuesday, the 9th inst., to the United States commissioner, and to Captain Adams and Captain Walker, of the United States navy. " RUSSIAN FRIGATE DIANA.—His Majesty the King gave audience on Wednesday last, at twelve noon, to Commander Lessoffsky, of his Imperial Majestyie frigate Diana. On being presented to his Majesty by the Minister of Foreign Relations, Captain Lessoffiky remarked that he had called with his ship on his way from Valparaiso to the Russian possessions in the north, and was happy in the opportunity of visiting this king dom, and of being presented to his Majesty on the pre sent occasion. " His Majesty reciprocated the feelings of pleasure expressed by Captain Lessoffsky, and welcome d him and his officers to his kingdom. He also expre ssed his regret at the prospect of war in Europe, so imminent, but hop e d hi s r i g hts of neutra lit y would be respected.

WIN DSO R, SATURDAY EVENING. This morning having been appointed by the military authorities at head-quarters for assembling a court martial to try for the second time within three weeks Lieutenant Perry, of her Majesty's 46th Infantry, the avenues to the barracks in Sheet-street were densely thronged by an eager multitude of civilians, who en deavoured to gain an entrance to the court for the pur pose of hearing the proceedings. As a matter of course hundreds could not gain admittance. The court assembled at half-past eleven o'clock. It was composed of Colonel Thomas Edwin Kelly, of the Provisional Battalion, president ; Lieut.-Colonel and Colonel R. Parker, Ist Life Guards ; Captain and Lieu tenant-Colonel Perceval, 2d battalion Coldstream Guards ; Captain and Lieutenant-Colonel Fordyce, 2d battalion Scots Fusilier Guards ; Lieutenant -Colonel Blyth, Ca valry Depot ; Captain E. W. Lowe, 32d Infantry ; Captain C. Sawyer, 6th Dragoon Guards ; Captain the Earl of Longford, 2d Life Guards ; Captain W; H. Pechell, 77th Infantry; Captain S. Ainslie, Ist Regi ment Dragoons ; Captain Howard Vyse, Royal Horse Guards ; Captain 11. Mackay, 79th Infantry ; Lieut 0. De L. Priaulx, 94th Infantry ; Lieutenant D. G. Brady, 14 battalion Royal Regiment of Infantry ; and Deputy Judge-Advocate Major Dalgetty. The prisoner having appeared, the following charges were read : Charges against Lieutenant James Edward Perry, 46th Regiment, for scandalous and infamous conduct, unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, in the following instances : First —For having, in a certain letter, dated Windsor Barracks, July 24, 1854, and addressed to Colonel the Hon. Arthur Upton, president of the court-martial then and there assembled for the trial of Lieutenant Greer, which letter bore the signature of the prisoner, and was then and there delivered to the said Colonel Upton. made the following scandalous statement respecting his commanding officer, Colo ne l G arrett, viz :—" That after repeat e d ac t s o f v i olence against himself (meaning the prisoner) by other officers of the 46th, while the regi ment was in Dublin, in my bedroom, I reported the cir curnstanee to Colonel Garrett, who reproac'hed me, and called me 'a fool for my pains,'" he, the said prisoner, then well knowing that so much of the said statement as relates to Colonel Garrett (viz., the words " who re proached me, and called me a fool for my pains') was false. Second—For having in the said letter made the fol lowing further statement :—" I then patiently submitted to a series of indignities, when I complained to Major Maxwell, who represented the facts to Col. Garrett, upon which he gave the offenders a reprimand. So weak was the effect of the reprimand or caution given by Colonel Garrett that, though the acts of aggression were dis• continued, I was persecuted in other ways until I threatened to appeal to the general of the district, and sent a letter to that effect to Colonel Garrett. On its being known that I was determined on such a course, I was earnestly entreated by several of my brother officers to forbear making any complaint. I did forbear, and from that time I was relieved From any repetition of the annoyances and indignities under which I formerly la boured." He (the prisoner) then well knowing that so much of the said statement with reference to Colonel Garrett as is comprised in the following words :—" Un til I threatened to appeal to the general of the district, and sent, a letter to that effect to Colonel Garrett," was false, and that the prisoner had never male any threat to Colonel Garrett, either by word of mouth or in writing, that be wound appeal to the ges,eral of the district. Third—For having on the 21st day of July, 1554, nt ' Windour, when re-exarnihod ne a witness before the court martial which was then and there being held the trial of Lieut,nant Greer, in reply to the following question :—" you swear positively that Captain Nicholas did not reprimand officers against whom you • had made a complaint to the commanding officer made the following answer, "I have taken an oath already. Captain Nicholas never to my knowledge censured anybody. He himself (Captain Nicholas) hay inc- ill-treated others on joining." He (the prisoner) then weil-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 c,.rtain letter addressed and delivered by him, the prisoner, to the Deputy Judge Advocate officiating at the trial of Lieutenant 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 (Captain Nicholas) aids and abets nearly everything, of the kind that takes place." He, the pri soner, then well knowing that so much of the said state ment as imputes to Captain Nicholas that he ill-treated young officers, or aided and abetted others in so doing, was false. The Deputy Judge Advocate said—Lieutenant Perry, it is my duty to say to you that it is the desire of the court to give you every possible facility on this inquiry, and if you are not prepared to enter on your defence at present, and wish to ask for time to plead, the Court will be ready to give you any reasonable time. Prisoner—l am prepared to plead now, and my plea is not guilty. The Deputy-Judge Advocate —Then you are ready to enter upon your defence. The' Court wished to give Sou time to consider your plea. Do you now wish to address the Court, asking for time to enter upon your defence ? Prisoner—l wish to address the Court, asking for time. Colonel Blyth—When was the charge delivered to the prisoner ? Deputy Judge-Advocate —It was only delivered this morning. . _ Sevei 7 al members of the court, in a conversational tone, intimated their opinion that the notice was unusually short, and that the prisoner ought to have time allowed him. Prisoner—Mr. President and gentlemen, I shall be prepared to enter on my defence as soon as the witnesses, a list of whom I am about to deliver in, shall be forth coming. But I cannot, in justice to myself, proceed with the defence until the witnesses are ready ; and as it is probable that much time will be occupied in procur ing the witnesses, I humbly implore that some direc tion may be given for me to be at large on my parole of honour, as I find the confinement to a small hot room, of only 12 feet to 10 feet, not only injurious to my health, but most depressing to my spirits. And as I have a consciousness of being innocent of the charges heaped upon me, the continued imprisonment (already endured for thirty-one days) in the event of my being found not guilty, will, in fact, be a punishment as undeserved as it is painful. The President—Can you tell us what time will be necessary ? The Prisoner—l cannot state when they will be ready, as some of them are in Turkey and other parts. The President—l thought as much. (Laughter.) The court was then cleared for about half an hour. On the re-admission of the public, The President addressed the prisoner as follows :-- Mr. Perry, the opinion of the court is, that it is most Your defenceou r dw illi n g to give you any reasonable time before ent er i ng o n the prosecution.

The President —Then that matter is met. The De puty - Judge-Advocate —The question now is, what time will you (the prisoner) require to prepare your defence. It is a simple question ? Prisoner—May I respectfully ask if I can have the witnesses ? - The Deputy-Judge -Advocate—At this stage of the proceedings, all that you are required to do is simply to answer the question. Prisoner—Then I should ask the Court to adjourn until Monday week. The Deputy-Judge-Advocate said the application was unreasonable, twenty.four hours being the usual time for adjournment. _ _ Prisoner—Then I would say Thursday next, for the charges are so numerous that they require consideration. The Deputy-Judge-Advocate—Mind, you nre merely to listen to what is going on, not to enter on your de fence at present. Prisoner—What time does the Court propose to grant me? The President—Until next Monclay. The President—The evidence has all been published. Prisoner—Yes, sir, but the evidence asj published differs materially from the minutes of evidence. Deputy Judge-Advocate—The Judge Advocate -Gene ral is the custodier of the proceedings, and you must make your application to the Judge Advocate-General. After an ineffectual attempt on the part of the pri. soner to direct attention to a clause in the Mutiny Act, the court adjourned until Monday. A DISTINGUISHED FOREIGNER. El Hhami Pacha, who has just arrived in England, :s the only son of Abbas Pacha, the late Viceroy of Egypt. He is about 17 years of age, and has been edu cated at Grand Cairo, under the care of Europeans, at a great expense. When the settlement took place between the Sultan and the Egyptian Viceroy, in which the European powers participated, it was stipulated that the Viceroy alty should be inherited by the eldest living descendant of Mehemet Ali, in order to avoid the trouble of the government of a minor. Thus Ibrahim Pacha, who suc ceeded Mehemet Ali, left sons, but as Abbas Pasha, the late Viceroy, and who was a grandson of Mehemet Ali, was older than those children, he became Viceroy, and the sons lost their rank immediately after their father's death. Said Pacha, the present Viceroy, and 'lbrahim Paella's sons are all older than El Hhami Pacha, the youth above-mentioned, and of course entitled to the throne before him. El Hhami Pacha, however, being the only son of Abbas Pacha, was of course, while his father lived, the next most distinguished person in the kingdom, and as Abbas Pacha was, just previous to his death, in the prime of life, there was every probability of his son filling that position for a long series of years. He was made Mini ster of War in Egypt, and was betrothed to the Sultan f Turkeys daughter, a child six years of age • and ac cording to the custom of the East, and the rank of such a powerful vassal as his father was of the Sultan's, El Hhami Pacha visited his intended father-in-law in great state, withloo,oool.timeiy present.sterling AlterinEngl isle sovereigns, his betrothal he obtained permission from th e Vi ceroy and doubtless present a of most Sultan to make the grand tour of Europe, and he corn. nienced that tour under the brightest auspices, and a style of great magnificence, perhaps that was ever known. His father had made him immensely rich, and gave him the famous steam-yacht, the Feih Djehad, to travel in. This yacht was built by Mare, of London, a few years ago, for Abbas Pacha, under the superintendence of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, at an expense of 110,0001. It is of iron, and fitted up most gorgeously for an eastern climate. Thousands of persons visited it before it left this country. It was built on the model of H.M.S. Canopus, and had similar engines to H.M.S. Terrible. It is one of the largest steamers in the world, being nearly 3,000 tons burden. Its engines are 800- horse power. The Feih Djehad has the largest paddle wheels of any ships in existence, and each' of them weighs 70 tone. She is remarkably fast. El Hharni Pacha left Alexandria on the 13th inst., after taking leave of his father, who was then in good health, in this splendid yacht, and purposed touching at Malta, Gibraltar, and landing in England at Southanip ton. He then intended visiting most of the capitals of Europe, during which time his yacht was to be docked iu England, as there was no dock In the Mediterranean large enough for her gigantic dimensions, and then she was to proceed homeward and be prepared to reserve Prince El Mimi Pacha at Genoa. The prince had up wards of 30 persons forming his suite, some of them dietinguished Egyptians, and a retinue of Nubian, Abys sinian, and Circassian slaves. The whole of the persons on board were nearly 400. Amengst these were 31 pupils and two masters from the Egyptian naval school. The Feih Djehad had two commanders- -one Egyptian and the other English. The latter was Captain Mac kenzie, belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental C..m pany, a very gentlemanly and accomplished officer. Out of the whole number on board there were only sever Europeans. Even some of the engineers were Arabs, who perfectly understood the management of steam en gines, having been engineers to steamers plying on the Nile. Some of the Egyptian officers were first-rate navigators. The chief persons of the prince's suite were Suliman Pacha, Commander-in-Chi e f of the Egyptian army ; Kletiredden Pacha, Minister of Commerce in Egypt ; Abdullah Pacha. Director-General of Egyptian Transit and Railway ' • Ali Bey and M ura d Eff endi Bey, aides de-camp ; and Dr. Lautier, the Prince's Physician. Suliman Pacha, is the well known French officer, Colonel Say, who has spent a life-time in the Egyptian service. It is to him that Mehemet Ali and Ibrahim Paella were indebted for the superior organisation and successes of the ,Egyptian army. He is a hale and fine old man, ebove SO years. He was on board the Bucentaur at the tune Neliem received his death weued.frorrLthat ship at the battle of Trattiilar:'"lrs - Telight at visiting Europe to the Fedi Djeliad was unlimmie,l, and at every spot he passed which was remembered by blur in co:in-:Joon with any historic events, lie celebrated it by drinking a glass of champagne. Amongst the se pl aces Cape Tea. lalgar w a s riot forg o tt en, and Ire arid Captain Mackenzie sat and talked over the terriole Peones that occurred there. Khairedden Pacha, the Minister of Commerce., was originally a Circassian slave. He is a very fine man. El Hhami Pacha speaks French and English fluently. The news of the death of the late Viceroy of. Egypt reached England by way of Malta and Marseilles, partly by means of the electric telegraph a few days ago. It reached Malta after the departure of the Feih Djehad, and of course the Prince could not hear of, to him, the disastrous intelligence until his arriving at Southampton. The yacht was telegraphed to Southampton, as passing ahg n to i g udt r h tehso ; itrtrfea a tdwei n dra d lotivotl shesrehi desi Prince a , s n au c tne h hdi r tww e g d raieulse a antr t esehhi t he Hurst Castle, opp os it e the Isle of Wight, at 8 o'clock on w h nr e e ogexyr W ateahbl e fiee s hrr t l eaoadn l nn t n odaj d uonh i l a y: on b uo yboard Sat urdayt,.o w had ere s o believedlo n rockets ascended from the yacht in token of his having anchored in English waters. Soon after the yacht's arrival on Saturday night a small steamer left Southampton pier for the yacht, having on board Mr. Larkings, the Egyptian political agent ; Lieut. O'Reilly, the deputy of Captain Austin, the Admiralty superintendent, who was ill ; A. Brett, Esq. the Egyp tian vice-consul at Southampton ; and Dr. Wiblin, the health officer ofthe port. As they approached the yacht her gigantic proportions were apparently increased through the darkness of the night. A flood of light was seen in the spacious saloon, dusky figures were pacing the deck, and dark mute figures !stood on the steps of the gang way, one over the other, holding immense arid brilliant lanterns in their hands. Mr. Larkings and his party stepped on board, and the former immediately went below. During this time officers and distinguished per sous were walking the deck, enjoying themselves with that gravity and quietude p ecu l iar to t h e t em p eramen t of the East and to the imm e di a t e p rec i nc t s o f ro y a l t y. In less than five minutes, all p e r s o ns who were crowded round the state cabin on th e m a i n deck started back a if by enchantment, for the Prince, convulsively sobbing, was carried into it by his attendants, and slaves stood around outside, to prevent any one tapproaching it. Et Hhami Pacha had heard of his fathers death, and bad learnt the precariousness of earthly greatness. Re bad sunk to . fa private station under an Eastern despotism. Orders were issued for immediate preparations to be made to return to Alexandria. The Prince had lost a royal parent ; all his suite had lost their rank, situations, and a princely benefactor. The consternation on board can scarcely be imagined.
