He came on deck a few minutes before eight o'clock on the morning of the 27th, and found the ship stripped of all canvas, and going at half speed. He spoke to the captain, and asked him how long be thought the weather would continue unfavourab'e, end asked him if he would sight the Cape, and the cap tain said, " Certainly not."

Mr. Green, have you seen that ?" and he then looked out and saw land far above the masthead. He then went to the bridge, and said, " My God ! captain, what is this ?" The captain said something which he did not understand. After this he went to the engine telegraph, at the request of the cap tain, and put the vessel ahead slow. The look-out cried, " Breakers ahead," and the engines were then reversed at full speed. After this he went to the bridge, and when he got there the ship came crash against the rocks. The engines at this time began to tell on her, and ran her astern, but she struck again heavily in that direction, and again went for. ward. Witness went to the side of the vessel, looked over,and saw that the 'udder had been carried away, and that the propeller had a large piece knocked out of it. He informed the captain that the rudder was gone, and when she struck again the order was given to let go both anchors, and he heard the chains run ning out. Orders were then given to clear the boats. A good many people got into No. 2 boat, which was in charge of Captain Crawford, who said he would look for a landing place. The captain said that would do, but Crawford must hurry back again. The boat was not half fall, but it never returned. Captain Burgess repeatedly asked where Captain Crawford was, and frequently said, "My God! where has Crawford gone ?" Another boat went away with the fourth officer and some passengers and sailors. No. 4 boat was taken possession of by part of the crew—five sailors. Directly these men were in the boat they pushed off from the ship and lay in the offing, about 100 yards from the ship. Two of the boats were rendered useless, by hanging directly over the rocks. Witness asked the captain to afford him the means of saving the mails, and he said he would do so when the passengers were attended to. Mr. Hove, the chief officer, and others, endeavoured to make No. 4 boat come to the rescue, but the sailors would pay no attention. The captain asked witness if he would take charge of the boats and bring " those scoundrels in," meaning the sailors in No. 4 boat, and he said he would do so. The captain was vexed with the men, as witness never saw him out of tem per before. When witness procured a boat, he pulled out to No. 4, and asked the men " Why the they did not come in," The men said they could not, as the people would swamp their boat. Witness said his instructions were to run into their boat if they would not obey orders, and that the yard-ar m. nodanger, Witness a as there were only a few women and c hildren, and that he would take the first instalme n t . His boat took captain further told wo ld the hang men t h that them there on a was in 21 passengers, amongst them the Hon. Mrs. Young, and No. 4 boat then came alongside and took the saloon passengers who were saved. After this, witness's boat took the Hon. Mr. Young and two other passengers from No. 4. If there had been ten minutes longer they might have saved the whole of the saloon passengers, but the ship began to heel over, and the boats were obliged to pull away. The captain and first officer were exerting themselves to the utmost. After pulling away witness did not see the captain again. Witness picked up tw,o passengers,who were swimming in the water—the Rev. C. P. Eaton, and Captain Cassidy, of the 30th Regiment. A letter was here read from the Rev. C. Eaton and Capt. Cassidy, stating that one of the boats de serted them, and that if it had not been for Mr. Green they would have perished. Witness continued—With one single exception all the sailors were in their wrong boats. State- ments bad been made that every one appeared to be doing the best for himself, but he witness did not complain of anything but the conduct of the men in No. 4 boat, and the fact that nearly all the men were in their wrong boats. It was witness's duty to make a report of anything particular whi c h occurred to delay the ship—either negligence on board, or other matters—and he therefore took par ticular notice of the conduct of the officers. Prom his observations he believed Captain Burgess to be one of the most careful seamen in the Montreal Company's service, and a man who paid the utmost attention to the safety of his ship, and the safety and comfort of the passengers. In answer to Cap tain Harris, witness said there was no doubt that if a fog signal had been on the coast the vessel would not have been lost. The court then adjourned. The Fatal Boat Accident at Cambridge. An inquiry was held yesterday at the Red Lion, in the village of Grantchester (about two miles from Cambridge), before Mr. Barlow, coroner for the county, into the circumstances attending the death of Mr. Isaac Pask, student and scholar of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, who was drowned in the river Cam, between Cambridge and Grant chester on the previous day, as reported in our yes. terday's impression. The Rev. Mr. Fuller, of Em manuel College, was present, representing the friends of the deceased. The following evidence was adduced : Mr. David Jones Davies, undergraduate of Em manel College, deposed—l knew the deceased, Mr. Isaac Pask ; he was of Emmanuel College too. Yes terday deceased, I, and another (Mr. James Bar dell Adamson) came up the river in canoes. We left Cambridge about half-past nine. Mr. Adam son is of Emmanuel. Neither of us was accustomed to rowing in canoes. It was the first time we had done so. Neither of us could swim. We all agreed to go in canoes, but did not think of the danger. 'We started from Good's boat-house by the mill, came up the river slowly, and reached within about half a mile of Gran tchester, There is there a slight bend in the river, and a very deep hole. I was a little in front of and Mr. Adamson a little behind deceased, each a few yards. I saw Mr. Pask's canoe capsize and himself immersed. He did not sink at the first, but struggled in the water. There was a short interval, during which he was quies cent, and then he struggled again ; his head was then not quite covered. He fell on his back after the second struggle, with his arms lifted up. I then saw him sink gradually till the depth of water hid him from my sight. I was in great confusion. I tried to reach the bark. Mr. Adamson reached the bank before I did ; but by the time we were up the bank Mr. Pask had sunk out of eight. He had made no complaint t hat morning ~c :f In s pain or numbness in the head , but conversvd ,s usual style when on the river. He f'/Pet7 n a ce q u la i s tl ; in his usual health I have ktic - )wn . of B sge. On October.

About 10 to 15 minutes after Mr. Adamson started for the village he was back with ass:stance. W hen they arrived I left to procure something tog et deceased up. Whe n I returned I saw men in the water. The drags were obtained, and eventually the body was brought to shore with them; that was about 20 to 25 minutes after he sank, and he appeared to be quit e dead. All did their best to recover him. He was undressed, rubbed with blankets, and artifi cial respiration was attempted to be brought about, but all was of no avail, and I and Mr. Adamson left PR1CE.....—..4d. STAMPED ....sd. to acquaint the College authorities. I returned, and fout d that the body had been removed to this house, and medical men were present. By the Foreman—There had been no " larking" on the river ; we all rowed up slowly and steadily. Mr. James Bardell Adamson, undergraduate of Emmanuel, in the main corroborated the evidence of the last witness. He said—We had none of us been in canoes before. I could not swim, but I had heard Mr. Pask say he could swim a stroke or two. I was behind Mr. Pask—about 20 yards—so that my face was directed to his back, but I did not see him actually capsized. When I heard the splash and saw him in the water he was in front of his boat : the head of the latter was directed straight up the river. Can give no information at all as to the cause of the capsize. Can say nothing as to the current at the spot of the accident, as I never reached it. For a short time after immersion deceased ap peared to be endeavouring to support himself by what is termed "treading water," but he suddenly threw up uis hands, fell on his back, and sunk. He only made one exclamation when in the water, when he threw up his hands, and that was, " Oh!" I ran off for assistance as soon as I reached the bank. Two men went into the water after deceased, but the body was recovered by the drags at the first attempt. In had been in the water at least 25 minutes. Mr. T. Smallman, of Grantchester, said he was summoned to assist, and on his way, finding the body had not been brought out, sent back for a small private drag, with which he brought out the body at the first throw., Two men were in the water searching for deceased when witness arrived, but their efforts were impeded by the congregation of a number of females on the bank, so that modesty re strained the men from getting out of the river to plunge. The position of the body was revealed to witness by a transitory gleam of sunshine. It was nearer the side than the middle of the river. The water is more than 12 feet deep there. Deceased was quite dead when taken out. Witness tried all means prescribed by the Royal Humane Society for the resuscitation of apparently drowned persons, but without effect, till Mr. Fawcett, surgeon, of Cam bridge, arrived, and pronounced him dead. Was told on arrival at the river that the body had been 20 minutes in the water then, and it was 20 minutes more before it was taken out. Some delay was caused by a person telling witness's little boy (the messenger) that the small drag was of no use, and sending him to a farm-house for a horse-drag; so that witness had to send a second messenger for the small drag. The jury immediately returned a verdict of "Accidentally drowned," all concurring in the danger of the use of canoes by persons who cannot swim. The remains of the deceased have since been brought to London for interment. This unfortunate occurrence has thrown a gloom over the whole of the University, but more especially the society of which Mr. Pask was a member, in which he had just concluded the June examination, and achieved the place of honour of first man of his year. The unfortunate young man received his early education at the North London Collegiate School, at which he gained the highest honours, and carried off an unusual share of prizes_ His loss is a severe blow to his unhappy parents, whose hopes were centred in his future career, from which much was expected by all who knew him. New Discovery of Ancient Bones at Gibraltar. A correspondent of the Athenceum, under date, Gibraltar, May 13, writes—" I send you an account of the discovery of an ossiferous cavern on this rock. The mere fact of a cave containing osseous remains having been found would not perhaps be of suffi cient interest to justify me in asking you to give place to a letter on the subject. But there are cir cumstances connected with this discovery which in duce me to believe that some account will not be unacceptable to geologists. At any rate, it is de sirable to determine if possible the antiquity of these remains, even though they be, as some declare, com paratively recent. The fact of a human skull hav ing been discovered in a cave embedded in bone earth, in close contiguity to a stone implement and the bone of a huge mammal 20 feet below the sur face of a limestone plateau, is sufficient to justify some inquiry. For the last six months the Royal Engineers have been employed excavating a large tank for the use of the military prison on Windmill Hill. The spot where this excavation has been made is situated upon an oval plateau, 400 feet above the sea, at the southern point of the rock. The pla teau is composed of compact limestone, in most places scarcely concealed by the superficial sail. So solid is the rock that the quarrying of the tank was done entirely by blasting. About 10 days ago I heard casually that some bones, described as beef bones,' had been discovered in the excavations, when proceeding to the spot I found the quarrymen working about 15 feet below the surface, and they were removing portions of a blast which had just taken place. Beneath two large blocks of limestone some dark, loamy earth was visible, and it was from here that the first discovered bones had been taken. Unfortunately, being considered valueless, they had been thrown away. A few turns of the spade, however, brought up others, including three portions of a human skull and a hume rus, also human. Close by was found a frag ment of rude pottery made of baked clay. Since this discovery the search has been prosecuted more carefully, and with the following result. It was ascertained that no fissure of any kind leading from the earth's surface was observed during the prc gress of the excavations. The superincumbent limestone was compact, and measured twelve feet in thickness at the spot where the first bones were found. After a few hours careful digging, during which many bones were collected, the roof of a cave was reached. Labour was then directed to the ex cavation of the cavern. It was filled to its ceiling with dark, rich mould. This mould was filled with bones, broken and dislocated, and presenting the same appearance as the bones found in other osseous caverns. The roof of the cave is covered with broken stalactites. The depth of the cavern has not yet been ascertained. It has been excavated vertically 24 feet below the surface; and an iron t rod forced through the mould gives no bottomark at 14 of 14 feet lower. The organic remains d Art found in the small portion yet elcavated are numerous. Seventeen feet below the level two Close by were two human jaws were discovered stone knives and an oblong slab of sandstone, if with worn and polished as by fric tion. Within a few one surface much feet t o n the same level was a s tone shaped lik e a rudee pestle. The bottom sur olished, a sur face is worn and polished, and the handle or upper part has thre e small concavities, which exactly fit the thumb and two fingers when the instrument is gras ped most conveniently. It seems probable that th i s implement was used for grinding cereals or breaking nut on the slab of sandstone. Mixed with t h e se remains were found numberless bones of ani mals, including a portion of the vertebra of a huge mammal. An experienced surgeon has declared this bone to have belonged to the elephant, but of what date he is unable to say. In my opinion it is the bone of a smaller animal. Amidst the vast quantity of bones I have been able to recognise the teeth of a large species of ox, the horse, a large deer, the wild boar, the lagomys, the jaw of a car nivorous animal which I believe to be the hyama, and portions of the jaws of other carnivorous ani mals which I cannot determine. At the lowest point yet reached two flint hatchets, more highly finished than those of Abbevillee, were turned up. Also, a small highly-polished and sharpened flint (?) implement, cut with some skill. At this point por tions of three human jaws were found with the femurs of a man and a woman. ti Fragments of pottery abound; also bits of Admission, ls. OST E 0 EI D ON.

NORTH-EASTERN. Yesterday a special meeting of i held at York, Mr. G. Leeman i n the t The CHAIRMAN congratulat e d t h e s h are h o ld ers on the passing of the Stockton and D ar li ng t on a nd North Eastern Amalgamation Bill. Th e fi r st bill he had to submit was a bill to enable the company to construct a railway from the this company was Hull and Selby Railway at Staddlethorpe to the South Yorkshire Railway near Thorne. The bill bad received the sanction of the House of Commons, and the chairman now proposed that it be approved by the meeting. Mr. PULLETNE seconded the motion, and it was carried unanimousiy. The CHAIRMAN said the next bill he had to submit for their approval was a bill for mak ing a railway from Wanbeck, north of Morpeth, to join the Kelso branch of this company be tween Tvc , eedmouth and Kelso, somewhere near the Cornhill station. This bill contained a clause giving permission to the company to enter into an agreement for working the line. Mr. HUNTER seconded the motion for the ap proval of the bill, and it was carried. The CHAIRMAN said the third bill he had to move for their approval was one which was promoted by the South Yorkshire Company, to alter their autho rised line between Doncaster and Thorne and to purchase the Barnsley Coal Railway. This bill contained power to enter into agreements with this company, but they were of a purely permissive character. Mr. KITSON seconded the motion, which was carried, and the meeting was then adjourned for a fortnight. SCINP,E. It appears that the traffic receipts on this com pany's line for the week ending April 19 amounted to £2,474 against £895 for the corresponding week, an increase of £1,579. RAILWAY BILLS. is the chairman, his Royal Highness the Duke of Yesterday, in the committee of which Mr. Mills Cambridge, Commander-in-Chief of the Regular Forces, and Colonel M'Murdo, Government inspec tor of Volunteers, were examined on the part of the Brighton Company, against the proposed new Brighton line, projected by the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company, between Beckenham, Lewes and Brighton. The witnesses, interrogated by Mr. Merewether, Q.C., and Mr. Venables, said they were satisfied, so far as their experience was concerned, with the management and working of the Brighton Railway, and that in their opinion, in a military point of view, a new line between Len don and Brighton was not necessary. There were in favour of lateral lines running from east to west parallel with the coast, rather than radial lines running from the metropolis to the sea coast. They expressed their satisfaction with the way in which the Brighton Company had conveyed the Volunteer army to Brighton in 1826, and to and from Brighton in 1863. The lateral lines before mentioned would form the best military roads and strongholds for the country in the event of any theinterventi on t o g threatened inv as i on, an d i t wes dec i dedly of advan tage rectlycom satisfiedpa Company d get troops sat break The from rr he military London a w u i t t h h o o r u i t . ties we re a l so perfectly ha witho conveyed ye d wayin which the Brightonthe Guards to and from the camp at Eastbourne for rifle practice during the last two months, with the exception of the last occasion, when the late melan choly catastrophe, on which they would offer no opinion, occurred. In course of cross-examination of the witnesses on behalf of the London, Chatham,and Dover Railway, it was endeavoured to be shown that troops could be oonreyed by the proposed WEST SHROPSHIRE MINERAL. A Wharncliffe meeting of this company was held yesterday at Bacon's Hotel, Great Qiteen-street— Mr. Mocatta in the chair —to consider a bill, pow before Parliament, to enable the West Shropshire Mineral Railway Company to reake a deviation and tramway, and to make working arrangements with other companies. The Solicitor having read the heads of the bill, The CHAIRMAN moved a formal resolution ap proving it, which was adopted unanimously. A special meeting was then' eld to consider the propriety of empowering the directors to exercise the borrowing powers. The CHAIRMAN said the line was in course of con struction, and the works were proceeding satisfac torily, and the entire line would be opened for traffic on an early day. He moved a resolution authorising the directors to borrow a sum not ex ceeding £30,000, which having been secon,ded, was agreed to, and the proceedings terminated. THE LOSS OF THE ANGLO-SAXON. LIVERPOOL, Friday.—The official inquiry into the loss of the steam ship Anglo-Saxon was re sumed to-day before Mr. Raffles and Capts. Baker and Harris. The first witness examined was W. Jenkins, purser of the Anglo-Saxon, who said that of the passengers on board at the time there were saved 33 cabin and 104 steerage, 71 officers and men of the crew, and one mail officer, mak ing a total of 209. There were drowned 15 cabin and 208 steerage passengers, and 15 of the crew, including the captain—total, 238. Witness was below when the vessel struck, and so slight was the shock, that he scarcely noticed it. He heard the captain then cry out " Hard a starboard ;" witness then went on deck. When he reached the deck, he heard the captain giving instruc tions to back the ship at full speed. After this wit ness went forward and helped the captain to get a rope ashore. In their first attempt the rope slipped from their hands, bat ultimately two ropes were secured to the locks, and by these a number of steerage passengers were conveyed to the shore. When the ship began to settle down there was a great rush to the shore side, and the people jumped into the water, but as there were 30 feet of water space between the ship and the shore a great number of the passengers were drowned, although a few were rescued by being pulled out of the water with the ropes. Whilst the ship was breaking up the mainmast tell seaward. There were a number of persons clinging to it, and they were carried over the ship and drowned, it being impossible to render assistance from the shore. Witness saw No. 3 boat capsized with about a dozen passengers in it. The boat struck on the rocks bottom upwards, and was dashed to pieces. There were some people in the fore rigging, but only two were rescued, and a number of passengers in the other parts of the rig ging were also drowned. When it was impossible to save any more lives some of the crew were sent in search of human habitations, and the people busied themselves in securing wood and other necessaries for an emergency. Before the vessel broke up wit ness saw Capt. Burgess, who was at the gangway assisting passengers into the baskets, and saw him again on deck about five minutes before the ship settled down. Capt. Burgess was a second officer in the Montreal service from 1856 to 1859, and a first officer from 1859 to 1861, after which time he sailed as a master. The captain was up night after night whilst the ship was approaching and in the ice, and he appeared to do everything that was right. Wit ness had the highest opinion of the captain, both as a sailor and a man. Voyages to Quebec had been made earlier in the season than when the Anglo- Saxon started. He (witness) had gone a week earlier in 1858. During that voyage the St. Law rence was found clear of ice, though a great quan tity of field ice was passed in the Gulf Stream. The 10th of April was about the usual time the spring voyages commenced. Witness never heard of ono of the boats landing with only five persons in it. Wm. M'Master, first eng ineer, was next ex amined. He described th e v oyage until Sunday th e 26th April at 2 p.m., wh en the ice off Newfound_ land was cleared and the engines were worked at stand i s stokeholes, was y the ordered full speed. The engin es were kept at full sp ee d until eight o'clock the n ex t m orning, when the fog became very dense, and th e captain ordered them to be put at half-speed. At half-past 11 a.m. was standing on the bridge with the captain, when the first officer reported that be heard the sound of breakers. The captain said, "It c annot b e; it must be ice." Shortly after this th e look-out s houted h e i n m s e t r n u icn ,, Breakers a-head."

He concurred in the state ments made by the last witness relative to the land ing of passengers, &c. Witness explained that he assisted in towing No. 2 boat to Cape Race. He had been sent off from the ship to look for a landing in a boat which contained but few persons. She was in charge of a merchant captain named Craw ford, who was a passe nger on board the Anglo- Saxon. The boat was unable to find a landing, and also, on account of the fog, Was unable to return to the ship. Mr. O'Dowd said be was glad that this statement had been made, as it set at rest an allegation that the boat was capable of containing 40 persons, and through some carelessness had only a few people in it. Gilbert Little, assistant purser, was the next wit ness examined. His statements contained no fact of interest. Mr. John Lefevre, optician, `Rho adjusts the com passes of the principal steamship companies, de posed that he adj usted the com p ass of the Anglo - S ax on supplied by Mr . Gra y on the I st of Novem ber, and he found it pe rfectl y co rrect. The compass was a new one at th at time. Samuel T. Green , mail officer, remembered the mor ning of the 27th of A p ril .

The following is an authentic copy of the memo randum of his Royal Highness the Commander - in - Chief on this most painful eas e: — "Horse Guards, S.W., Dec. 18, 1862. "MEMORANDUM. " His Royal Highness the Field-Marshal Commanding in-Chief having perused the proceedings of the general court-martial on Paymaster Smales, of the 6th Inniskilling Dragoons, and having had under his consideration not only these proceedings, but also many acts bearing on them, has seldom found himself in a more painful position, or one in which it appears more difficult to deal out even-handed justice to all parties who have become mixed up with these unfortunate events, and at the same time to do justice to the service. "Not only is the reputation of one of the most highly distinguished regiments in her Majesty's cavalry service implicated by them, but they have taken such a course that his Royal Highness is most unwillingly forced into the position of differing to a great degree from the views which appear to be taken by officers of high rank, great reputation, and usually of excellent judgment, to differ with whom he feels it to be not only painful to himself, but in some degree emb arrass i ng t o th e service. "His Royal Highness has, however, but one course to pursue, and that is, after m a t ure cons id era tion, and a p a tient hearing of the opinions of those who, from their rank and position, are moat likely to give unbiassed advice, to act upon his own sense of justice to all parties, and with due regard to the interests of the service over which he is called to preside. " In the mind of his Royal Highness there can be no doubt that the Court have come to a proper verdict as re gards the insubordinate tone of the letter written by Pay master Smales to his commanding officer; and it would have been quite sufficient for the purposes of discipline, and have saved a great mass of evidence and extraneous matter, had the charges been directed solely against the tone and spirit of that letter, and the letter itself been laid before the court as the only evi dence required; in which opinion his Royal Highness finds himself fortified by that of the Judge Advocate-General of her Majesty's forme, herewith annexed. " With regard, therefore, to Paymaster Smales—without entering into the minute points which the prosecutor has brought evidence, with more or less success, to rebut, there can be no doubt, upon the broad principles of discipline, that that officer was guilty of most insubordinate conduct in writing such a letter, and his removal from the army is an act of justice to the service. " Unfortunately, however, in bringing down on his own head a just retribution for his contumacy in writing an in subordinate letter, this trial of Paymaster Smales has ex posed a state of things in the Inniskilling Dragoons which his Royal Highness will endeavour to take an impartial view of. " There is no doubt that the Inniskilling Dragoons under Col. White and his successor, Col. Shute—two distin guished officers, in whom his Royal Highness has great confidence—before their embarkation for India, were all that could be desired as to esprit de corps, unanimity, and good feeling among the officers, and as to drill and discipline among the men. " On their embarkation for India some changes took place among the officers, and the regiment had not been long in India when some unfavourable reports of the behaviour of one or two individuals when off duty, or at the mess, called down his Royal Highness's severe displeasure, the mote so that it formed so strong a contrast to the previously ac quired reputation of the corps. " Still, with such exception, the regiment remained in the highest state of discipline, as elicited from all the confiden tial reports that have reached his Royal Highness from the Commander-in-Chief and inspecting general officers in Bombay, till Colonel Shute was succeeded by Lieut.-Col, Crawley from another corps. "In permitting Lieut.-Colonel Crawley to succeed Colo nel Shute, his Royal Highness believed he placed—and he did in fact place—at the head of the Inniskillings an officer of experience in the lower ranks of the service, of consider able talent, knowledge, and zeal ; but, unfortunately, as has been proved, an officer not gifted with the special talent which unites with the firmness of command the tact which inspires confidence and creates goodwill. "From the first Lieutenant. Colonel Crawley appears to have taken an unfavourable view of some points in the re giment, and to have expressed himself in no measured terms as to the changes he contemplated, which his Royal High ness cannot but think was uncalled for and unnecessary, and which was sure to create an unfavourable feeling on the part of the regiment. " The conduct of Lieut.-Colonel Crawley subsequent to the court-martial, if the address he made to his regiment, both officers and men, be correctly reported, was, to say the least of it, exceedingly reprehensible and injudicious. "There are other points in Lieut.-Colonel Crawley's con duct of which his Royal Highness cannot speak in too strong terms. "His Royal Highness alludes to the c9nfinentent, under arrest, of certain non-commissioned officers during the trial under a charge of conspiracy, and for which there seems not to have been a shadow of foundation. " His Royal Highness has also reason to believe that had the Commander-in Chief in India been better acquainted with some of the facts of Sergeant-Major Lilley's case he would have taken a different view of it from that which his remarks prove him to have done, and would not have attri buted the death of that unfortunate non-commissione d officer to excess. " Under these circumstances nothing but the high opinion expressed of Lieut.-Col. Crawley by the general officers in immediate command has induced his Royal Highness to continue him at the head of the regime nt, and he does so only upon trial, and under the hope that for the future he will be able to carry on discipline without outraging the feelings of the gentlemen under his Ro yal comm " With reference to M a j or Swindley, his Highness considers his conduct to have been most reprehensible, and he finds it difficult to make any excuse for it. " The tone and m anner in which his evidence was given were ul t a o makebe"mill tgh' and if his Royal Highness bad n o t been e remarks he has done on Lieu tenant-Colonel C rawle y he would at once re m o ve Major the Crawley regiment thebenefit e ; e but, t the character he as ara g he has Lieu tenant-Colonel n d t I . eg o I f o r: : received from the general officers under whom he is serving, his Royal Highness will also give Major S vantage of the reports he had windley the previouslyad heard in his favour. a His Royal Highness now warns Crawley and Major Sve d both Lieutenant. Col. in le that conduct themselves in their Y unless they hereafter relative positions in a manner to set an example of discipline will feel it • his duty to remove to the regiment generally he one or both of them from the important stations they ()CZ " His Royal Highness feels it to be his duty also not to pass unnoticed the conduct of Captain Weir and Surgeon Turnbull. "Nothing can excuse a subordinate officer for showing, by manner or act, disapprobation of his commanding officer before the younger members of a corps, who should look up to the captains and officers of station and experience as ex amples of discipline and obedience. " In conclusion, his royal highness trusts that the future conduct of the officers of the Inniskillings will be such as to eradicate the evil spirit which momentarily appears to have crept into the corps, and to have tarnished a reputa tion which was second to none in the cavalry for all that constitutes a well-ordered and most efficient regiment.
