SECOND COURT-MARTIAL ON LIEUT. PERRY: - - SEVENTH DAY-FRIDAY. This day's proceedings commenced with the examination of Lieut. Curtis. At the request of the prisoner a question was put to Lida. Danscombe, which he refused to answer. Prisoner then said—Under the peculiar circumstances of the case I request that the questions may not be put before entered on the minutes. Deputy Judge Advocate—There is always full and ample time indeed to take them down before answering the questions. Adjutant-General (to prisoner)—The court has pursued the . same course as youwished on the first day. The two first charges were then read over against the prisoner. Prosecutor (to witness)—Were you present when Colonel Garrett reprimanded an o ffi cer for annoying Lieut. Perry ? Witness—l was. Prosecutor—When and where was that reprimand given ? Witness—ln the month of July, 1853, in the Linen hall, Dublin. Prosecutor—Did Colonel Garrett on that or on any other occasion reproach Lieutenant Perry for making com plaints, or call him " A fool fo I 'his pains. " Marl state that Witness—ln m y presence, can . p yartie ar Colonel 3arrett never reproached Lieut. Perry for making complaints to his commanding officer ; and further, that he never called him " A fool for his pains." Prosecutor —When that reprimand was given had cer tain confidential circulars regarding practical jokes been read to the officers. Witness—To the best of my knowledge, I think not. Prosecutor —Do you know whether Lieutenant Perry ever sent a letter to Colonel Garrett threatening to com plain to the general officer of the district ? Witness—l do not. Cross-examined by the Prisoner—Since this inquiry has comme nced, or before, have you been spoken to as to the tenour of the evidence you should give ? Witness—To the first part of the question, no ; to the second, I gathered the tenour of the evidence from the news papers. Prisoner—What was the teuour of the circular sent round to each officer by Colonel Garrett just before the inquiry being instituted; and if you cannot state the precise words, can you produce the evidence before the court ? Witness—Colonel Garrett sent round three questions to some officers and two to others, to be answered and re turned to the orderly-room. Colonel Garrett, I believe, took those papers to the Horse Guards. The tenour of them was this—Colonel Garrett wished to know whether the officers: could bring to his mind his either having reproached Lieutenant Perry for making complaints or calling him a fool for his pains, or saying he would write to the general to complain of the conduct of Captain Nicholas to young officers—these were three questions sent to me. Prisoner —Has there been no discussion, from time to time, as this case has proceeded, as to the evidence you could give, and have you not been spoken to since Duns combe gave his evidence yesterday; and what was said as regards Dunscombe's evidence by the officers? Witness heard no opinion on Dunscombe's evidence given. Prisoner—Are you aware that some of the officers had not very clear recollections on the subject, and were they not constantly asking others as to the answers they should give in reference to the circular sent round by the colonel ? Witness—There certainly was conversation among the officers at the time, in reference to those circulars just before the court-martial was ordered. These questions came to me in the morning about nine o'clock. Prisoner—l place myself in the hands of the court, and appeal to them if this is an answer to my question ? Witness—l cannot answer it more fully. I went down to Waldey's room, where I found him conversing. I read those questions over, and said they might be very simply answered. I went back to my room, and answered them, and he gave them to the adjutant. Prisoner—Were not the officers' assembly sounded, and were not all the officers gathered to refresh each other's memories? Witness—Certainly not. The officers' assembly was not sounded. If the officers' assembly was sounded it was for another purpose. Prisoner—What necessity was there for going to Wal dey's room if the questions were so easily answered? Witness—l simply went to see if he had the same sort of questions I had. Prisoner—Will you state that the officers' assembly did not sound, and that the officers were not in close delibera tion for upwards of an hour ? Witness— Jpon reconsideration I think the officers' assembly did sound. I had forgotten the day. The reason of the assembly was for auditing the mess accounts. • Prisoner—State the day, and produce the accounts stat ing on what day they were audited ? Witness—l cannot, and the accounts are not in my pos session ; I am not on the mess committee. Prisoner—May I request the mess-master be called to produce those accounts? State the day as nearly as pos sible—that will satisfy me. Witness—A few days before the court-martial ; the day the colonel went to the Horse Guards. Prisoner—The reason I require the day is, I look upon it as singular the books should be audited just at this time. Prisoner—Did you not speak to me after the reprimand in your room at the Royal Barracks, at Dublin, and say, "I think you got the worst, old fellow;" and did not I say I would never report again ? Witness—l do not recollect the circumstance ;it may have happened. Ido not deny it. Prisoner—Were not the mess accounts audited on the Bth July, 1854; and have they been audited since ? Witness—With the permission of the court, I beg to decline answering the question—firstly, because I have already stated that I cannot swear to the day ; and, secondly, that it does not bear on the charge. By the Court—Was Lieut. Perry subjected to any an noyance or persecution in any way after Colonel Garrett had reprimanded an officer for his conduct to Lieut. Perry ? Witness—Not that I am aware of. Soon after the re primand Lieut. Perry went into the sick list, where he remained upwards of three months. I never heard of any persecution up to the time the regiment left Dublin and _went on detachment. By the Court—Was Lieut. Parry in the habit of joining in practical jokes towards his brother officers ? Witness—l cannot say that he was. Ido not think he was on sufficiently intimate terms to play practical jokes with them. By the Court--Was Lieut. Perry shunned by his brother officers ' • and, if so, was it on account of hi s h a vi ng com plained to Colonel Garrett ? Witness—l cannot say that Lieut. Perry's society was actually shunned, but his society was not courted. I can safely say he was not shunned on accountof the reprimand to the officers. By the Court—Did prisoner in any way suffer in conse quence of making his report ? Witness—Not to my knowledge. By the Court—Does not the officers' assembly sound every day? Witness—No, except for mess. Prisoner—l mean the assembly call is a very different call to the mesa call. The reason I put the assembly is, because it is on field days only it is called. Witness's answer was then registered simply " No?' Prisoner—l have one question I wish to put through the court. Was not Lieut. Dunscombe abused for having re ported, and was not unmeasured language used towards him by Colonel Garrett ? Witness--I was not present at the time of the repri mand. I was on the Royal main guard at Dublin. I heard of it afterwards. Lieutenant Hesketh examined. Prosecutor—Were you present when Colonel Garrett reprimanded an officer in consequence of a complaint of Lieutenant Perry? Witness—l was not present. I heard of it. Prosecutor—Was there any other officer of the name of Hesketh at the time in the regiment ? Witness—No. Prosecutor—Do yon know whether Colonel Garrett did on that or on any other occasion reproach Lieutenant Perry, or call him a fool for his pains ? Witness—No. President—Do you know whether Lieut. Perry ever by word of mouth or in writing threatened to appeal to the general of the district? Witness—l never heard anything of the kind. By the Court—Did you ever hear any one else reproach Lieut. Perry? Witness—No. _ _ _ .. By the Court—Was Lieut. Perry's society shunned by his brother-officers ? If so, was it on account of his having complained to Colonel Garrett ? Witness—He was not generally shunned. I avoided him myself on account of his disagreeable, forward manner. By the Court—Was Lieut. Perry subjected to annoy ance in any way after Colonel Garrett had reprimanded an officer ? Witness—Not that I am aware of. By the Court—Were the officers, to your knowledge, ever assembled together to discuss certain questions pat by Colonel G arre tt ? Witness. —The officers were assembled together to dis cuss certain questions put by Colonel Garrett. The officers were assembled, but not with reference to those questions. By the Court—Wh a t were they assembled for ? Witness—They were assembled in consequence of a letter written to.the Times by Lieut. Perry. . By the Court—What took place on the occasion ? Viritness — Simply to discuss what appeared in the letter. 13y the Court —Were there any directions given at the time to any o f the officers ?' Witness —No. occas ßy i the Court—W ere the mess accounts audited on that on ? Witness --I think not. By the Conee--tort.„sa addrsed you on that occas i on , an d what did he or they y ee Witness—Colonel Garrett first addressed the officers, and remarked on thefalseaftcater t m en ent i coetained in th e l e tt er. The court adjourned Colonel Garrett w as then re - lo n er s. By the Court—Did you ever receive a letter from Lieut. distr Perryic t threatening to complain to the general officer of the Witness—Never. By the Court—Where did you administer a reprimand to the officer in consequence of a complaint by Lieutenant Perry, and when ? Witness—l think the various occurrences were in the months of May and June last year, and might h ave gone into July. There were three different occurren ces i n the Linen-hall Barracks, Dublin. P rosecu tor—Had you at that time receiv e d any confi dential communications regarding certain particular - joke s and had you at th at time read them to the officers? , Wit ness —The confidential communications alluded t o reached me in the middleofJuly, t a o n o d k l p h la a c v e. eno doubt th ey were read after these occurrences Prosecutor or did they —Were the officers who have accompanied the 46th to Turkey select ed for this p urpose, go in due course of duty ? Witness—The order came tot me c o o t u p t a n t e e s end of t e f r e was weeks for a strength equa l them rea tw to and d n a th h e u fi rr r y st , oarsdtehreyl gave a necessity for getting to go en the following Monday ; order I gave was that two senior captains and the officers belonging to their c ompan should These were uld be ready the two senior companies at he O'Tool e ' s ancl Captain Virombwell , s . I quarters, Captain shortly after I had order& Wombweli's company t to go that a large por tion of it was out on detachment a t Kings on and Hyde park.company I th erefore substituted Captain Harvey for Can Wombvrell's, with his officers, and they went irrespectively of any selection. Prosecutor —Was their selection influenced by anything in connection with the trial of Lieut. Perry ? Witness--Certainly not. I think Lieut. Perry's first trial was then going on. The court was sitting at the time. Prosecutor—The prisoner having stated that he had been confined to a small room, and it having gone forth to the public that his health was suffering from it, I wish to ask what was the extent of Lieut. Perry's confinement ? Prisoner—ln justice to Colonel Garrett I beg to state THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 5, 1854. that he gave me permission to walk . in the barrack-yard in my uniform, and, allowed_ me to write to the Commander in Chief to be put on my parole offionour. Witness—On the close of Mr. Perry's first trial Major Pack, at the request of Mr. Perry, asked me whether he was at liberty to take exercise at large. My answer was, I desired to give prisoner every indulgence I could, but I considered I should deviate from the custom of the service if I allowed him to go beyond the li mita of the barrack square. On the following day, in the barrack square, Mr. Darya his solicitor, came to me. He was at that time unknown to me. 13e said he was the legal adviser of Lieutenant Perry, and asked whether I could not allow him to go outside of the barracks. I pointed out to him the difficulty of granting the indulgence, and stated my reasons, unless under sur veillance. Mr. Darvill then asked if I knew who he was. I told him I knew the position he filled as a professional gentleman, but I did not remember his name, and after some further communication, I consented that Mr. Perry should go into Mr. Darvill's carriage at five o'clock in the afternoon, for the purpose of going to Mr. Darvill's pri vate house in the country, Mr.Darvillundertaking to send him home in the course of the night. I received an exceed ingly well-expressed letter from Mr. Darvill, and I a second time allowed prisoner to go away on a second application from the son of Mr. Darvill. Sincethose two occasions Mr. Perry has been out, but I think it was a misconception, supposing I had given him leave to go to Mr. Darvill's. He once left a memorandum in the orderly-room of the hour he went out and when he returned. He may have gone out on a misconception, and I entirely acquit him of it. I may further add, that this day he has received permission from Lord Hardinge, on his own application, to go out on parole of honour under certain restrictions. Prisoner—l am glad the address has been read to the court to prove that Colonel Garrett has been very kind to me. His address to the court went to show, that since his arrest Colonel Garrett had behaved in the most gentle manly, kind, and courteous manner, and did all he could, consistently with military duty, to mitigate the rigour of Lieutenant Perry's position. Prisoner—ls your memory as defective as to my having written a letter to you at the Linen-hall Barracks as it is to your not remembering having called me a fool for re porting to you? And if I prove that you said you , did call me a fool, may you nothave made the same error instating I had not written the letter ? Witness—They are so marked to recollection that if it should have occurred I could not forget it, and if it should be proved that lam mistaken it will be for the court, and not for myself, to pass its own opinion. Prisoner —Will you state that you was not anxious with regard to my first trial, and did you not write to Cork to ascertain whether I had gambled or not ? Witness—l do not understand what he means by being anxious for his first trial. I would have avoided it if I could. After the company had sailed for Cork on passage to Turkey, I wrote to Queenstown to an officer to make inquiries as to whether he knew if certain reports made to me as to Lieut. Perry's conduct, whilst stationed at Cork, were true, but do not remember what was particularly specified. Prisoner—Did not Lieut. Sherrington belong to the K company, and not to Captain Harvey's ? and why was Captain Harvey sent, he being nearly at the bottom of the list of captains ? _ _ _ Witness—Lieutenant Sherrington always belonged to Captain Harvey's company, or rather the A company, which belongs to Captain Harding now : but he com manded the K company during the absence of Captain Wombwell on the staff. When Captain Wombwell joined his staff duty, Lieutenant Sherrington rejoined his own company, and the K company which he commanded is now a depot company. When I found I could not send Captain Wombwell's company, I made my selection from the junior companies ; and intended to take Captain Lyons, but he also had men out at Kensington, and for that reason I took Captain Harvey, as he was above Captain Lyons. By the Court—Was Lieutenant Hesketh, to the best of your knowledge, p r esent when you reprimanded the officer ? Witness—l have my doubts. I think not. By the Court—After the letter from the prisoner which appeared in the Times, did you assemble the officers of the 46th; and for what purpose? Colonel Garrett—l did ; and read the letter sentence by sentence, and asked if any of them could assist me in any way, by mentioning any circumstance that might by any possibility be construed into a reproach—that they would at once state it, for I had no recollection at the time of any such occurrence ; and also if any of them knew of a letter communicating threats having been sent to me. This closed Colonel Garrett's cross-examination. It being only three minutes to four the court adjourned. .SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. CUSTOM-HOUSE, AUG. 4.

Those who had not left for Brighton mustered at the Post-office Hotel to-day, and a disposition was shown to bet upon the Ebor Handicap and St. Leger, but few in vestments were made. At the commencement Heapy was introduced for the Ebor, and was supported by one gentleman to the tune of upwards of 1001. at 5 to 1, but without making him any better favourite, the same figure being currently offered at the close, and, in some quarters, as much as 6to 1 was laid. This " flash in the pan" we understand, was caused by a groundless report being put in circulation, that 2 to 1 was taken freely about him at Brighton. King Tom for the St. Leger retrogades in the market, while Dervish, on the other hand, has an upward tendency, and any advance upon 5 to 1 would have been taken to money at the close. Owing to so little having been done, and the principal speculators being at Brighton, it would be superfluous to give a long list of quotations.

Wass and his wife were awoke by the noise. The former jumped out of bed and threw the bottle out of the window. It exploded with a noise which created much alarm, but no injury was done. It is believed that the outrage was committed t the instigation of the Filegrinders' Trades Union, Was having taken more apprentices than are allowed by the rules of the union, and having also given work to a man who h a d not b een a pprenticed at all. BANK PAPER.— Count Sparre , a Swedish nobleman, now in this ne i g hb our h o od, has discovered the means o f imitating any bank-note, cheque, b ill of exchan g e, pro missory-n o t e , or letter of credit , without the p ossibilit y of detectio n • and, a t the same tim e, has invented a de scription of bank paper which does not admit of imita tion, removal of signature, change of amount, &c.,which can be readily effected by him with the paper at present in use. The question of Count Sparre's paper for notes throughout the kingdom of Sweden and Norway is now under the consideration of the directors of the Royal Bank, Stockholm. The Count has already expended upwards of 5,000/, in experiments and the construc tion of the necessary machinery,. and now seeks a capitalist willing to invest a similar sum, with a view to the establishment of a bank paper manufactory in England. We understand that the managers of our local banks, and some of our leadin g citizens, to whom specimens of counterfeit note s and the newly-invented paper were exhibited on Saturd a y , ex p ressed their as tonishment a t th e c ompleteness of t he imitation, and the security afforded by the new paper, to which they at tach great imp or t an ce. Count Spa rr has taken out pa tents for Sweden as well as for Great Britain and Ire land, and proposes next year pr oceedin g to America for the purpose of obtaining like p rivile g es there.—Cor k , Examiner. Mount's Bay, oßyaayl, Cornwall, in Prince 1848, Albert, it upon his visit t o may be remembe re d, suggested that the beautiful serpentine marble of the Lizard Rock was worthy of being applied to higher pur poses than mere peatesouvenirs of the locality. M essrs. Sedgwick and Dawson, of Piccadilly, appear to have taken the hint, having adapted this exquisite material to the pedestals of their well-known improved moderateur lamp and the lamp for India, which, by the bye, would seem to owe a part of its success to the peculiar rectified oil provided for it by its inventors. The Messrs. Sedg wick and Dawson have likewise devoted the serpentine marble to a variety of other elegant uses, and for which, it would seem, they have secured the sole right oiappli cation.

The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received, through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, the en closed copy (translation) of a Proclamation respecting an alteration in the Lighthouse at Koster, on the coast of Sweden. (Copy.) (Translation.) PROCLAMATION.—The Royal Administration of Marine announces, for the information and guidance of mariners, that a lens apparatus of the 4th degree, with a fixed light, and giving out sharp flashes at short intervals (a, feu fixe, varie par des eclats et par courtes eclipses), was put on the Northern Lighthouse at Koster, instead of the blue light which was there before, and that the lighting of the same began on the evening of the 23rd of June last. According to the trial ordered to be made to obtain information respecting the extent and power of the light of this light house, compared with the lens-light of the 3rd degree, with a fixed light, which is placed beside it, the flashing light was visible at a distance of 3 geographical miles, and the flashes, which only lasted 7 seconds, gave out as much power as the light of the fixed lighthouse.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] Her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent for valuable and extraordinary improvements in the most power ful and brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Race-course, Opera, and Perspective Glasses (glazed with Munic German Glass), to know the distances of objects viewed through them—of great im portance to the army, navy, and others. Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, opticians, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. Ob serve—opposite the York Hotel.— These telescopes possess such extraordinary powers that some 3 inches, with an ex tra eye-piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring, and the double stars ; with the same telescope can be seen a person's countenance three miles and a half distant, and an object from 12 to 14 miles. They are of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers accordingly.—The Royal Ex hibition, 1851.—Valuable, newly-invented, very small, powerful waistcoat-pocket glass, the size of a walnut, by which a person can be seen and known 1 miles distant p t 0 ; theye houses,answer every purpose on the race-course, and at the country scenery, and ships aro clearly seen at 5 to 6 miles. They are invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Opera, race-course, camp, and perspective glasses, with wonderful power ; an object can be clearly seen from 10 to 12 miles distant. Spectacle Lenses of the greatest transparent power. The valuable advantage derived from this invention is, that vision becoming impaired is preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons are enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occupation—can see with these lenses of a much less mag nifying power—and they do not require the frequent changes to the dangerous effects of further powerful assistance. Deaf ness—New Discovery.—The Organic Vibrator, all extraordi nary powerful, small, newly-invented instrument for deafness, entirely different from all others, to surpass anything of tho kind that has been, or probably ever can be, produced. Being of the same colour as the skin, is not perceptible ; it enables deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at public assemblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises in the ears is entirely removed ; and it affords all the assist ance that possibly could be desired,--39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. Observe—opposite the York Hotel. [ADVERTISEMENT.]-11olloway's Ointment and Pills Successful again in Curing a Bad Leg.—Mr. E. Wil liams, of Dyliffe Mines, Machynlleth, states that a friend of his in Flintshire suffered for two years with a dreadful bad leg, which defied the efforts of several per sons to cure, notwithstandinz various remedies were tried ; he endured excruciating pains for several months, and when paying him a visit he recommended him to use Holloway's Ointment and Pills, from the effects of which a change for the better was quickly produced, and ultimately his leg was soundly cured. He now en joys excellent health. Mr. Williams will satisfy any party of the truth of this statement. Sold by all dealers in medicine, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
