We have only to say that the pu'olic at large ought to be thankful to Dr. Ge rge Johnson for his impartiality in thus proclaiming the truth; and perhaps this will do more to open the eyes of the world than 5,v00 cases cured out of the hospitals. We have ourselves dur ing the a- t2O years proved the truth of the purgative system, although the " Times" of the 26th of August, which announces the success of Dr. Johnson, calls it a " new treatment of cholera." It may be new to doctors, Lut is certainly not so to Ilygeists. - We are, Sir, your ot,edient servants, THE MEMBERS OF THE BRITISH COLLEGE OF HEALTH, New-road, London, August 30, 1854. N.B.—We hope the new President of the Board of Health will institute a full inquiry as regards the ca-es treated by Dr. George Joh , ison.

TRIESEITAR, No. 1, is a remedy for Relaxation, Spermatorrhcoa, and Exhaustion of the System. TRIESEMAR, No. 2, effectually, in the short space of three days, completely and entirely eradicates all traces of those Disorders which Capivi and Cubebs have so long been thought an antidote for, to the ruin of the health of a vast portion of the population. TRIESEMAR, /To. 3, Is the great Continental Remedy for that class of Disorders, which unfortunately the English physician treats with Mercury, to the in evitable destruction of the patient's constitution, and which all the sarsaparilla in the world cannot remove.

FOR SEPTEMBER AND FOLLOWING MONTHS.—The newly-invented PALETOT, which owes Its existence exclusively to the Establishment of E. MOSES and SO, is the most suitable Article of Dress for September and following months. This Paletot has removed all previous deficiencies which may have appeared in every description of Paletot which has hitherto been pre sented. By a ye , y peculiar cut it unites ease in wear with the most correct and artistic fit ; it is the teost elegant and gentlemanly article of the season. The materials, workman.hip, and fairish at once show how entirely impossible it is for any Establishment to imitate it at the price for which it is offered by E. Moses and Son—viz., twenty-five shillings. For September and following months sportsmen require necessary equipment for the shooting season. The suitability of the Sporting Attire manufactured by E. Moses and Son has gained it universal celebrity with all classes ; their long experience, vast transactions, and the unrivalled talent they employ in designing arid making up every fashionable and useful article of Dress, and the very economi cal prices they charge, insure it such patronage that the stock though immense is always new. For September the Hosiery and Ladles' and Children's Dress De partments are replenished with the most elegant articles of the first order of fashion, and at the most economical prices. The Boot and shoe Branch offers opportunities of selecting the best and cheapest Goods. special arrangements are made for sportsmen. Merchants, Captains. and Emigrants should select from the Wholesale Clothing, Shirt, and Boot and Shoe Department. The Goods are made in accordance' with the latest advises from the Colonies, will instantly sell at large profits, and are therefore the best freight which can be embarked. Full Lists of Outfits for ladies and gentlemen, with ship-sailing information (gratis) on application, or post free. C TION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learnel that the untradesman-like fal%ehcod of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in missy instances, anti for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER NOOSE IN Oft OUT ON LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155. 158, and 157, Minories, 84, 85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church. all communicating.

THE LATE COURTS-MARTIAL AT WINDSOR. Lieutenant-General Sir Edward Blakeney, G.C.8., will be pleased to give direction to the Major-General of the district, for the purpose of reading this order torhe officers assembled, of reprimanding the officers named, and of admonishing and requiring the whole corps of officers to assist their commanding officer in eradicating this most im proper system. This memorandum will be printed, and read confiden tially to the officers of every regiment in the service. By command of the Right Honourable General Viscount Hardinge, Commanding-in-Chief, (Signed) G. A. WETHERALL, Deputy-Adjutant-General. We publish below the official record of the late pro ceedings in the cases of Lieutenants Perry and Greer, to which is prefixed a memorandum by the Commander in -Chief, of "Instructions for officers on first joining a regiment or depot," calculated to prevent the recurrence of the disgraceful practices brought to light in the re cent inquiries. It will be seen, with deep regret, that the result of Lieutenant Perry's second trial is, that he has been found guilty on three out of the four charges brought against him, and sentenced to be cashiered ; but the extreme severity of this decision is mitigated by the Crown to the extent of permitting him to receive the value of his commission. We abstain at present from discussing the merits of the verdict and sentence by which Lieutenant Perry has become the victim of a vicious and disgraceful system—which ought long since to have been suppressed by the higher military authori ties ; but we shall take an early opportunity of com menting on the whole of this melancholy and shame ful business. In the meanwhile, we will only express our earnest hope that the late scandalous exposure will be attended by permanent good, and that, to use the words of the Commander-in-Chief, the con duct of British officers towards each other will hence forth be " regulated by a higher standard of what is due to the honourable position in which they stand as the holders of commissions in her Majesty's army." We especially trust that due care will be taken to make the commanding officers of regiments feel the full weight of that responsibility which is justly cast upon them by the Commander-in-Chief, when he says that " a firm but temperate exercise of authority on their part will effect the object desired." APPENDIX No. 3. OBSERVATIONS OF THE SECRETARY-AT-WAR IN CIRCULA TING THE MUTINY ACT AND ARTICLES OF WAR OF 1844. " I have to draw your attention to the amnnded articles relating to duelling in the army. " These alterations have been inserted by her Majesty's authority for the purpose of more effectually discouraging and prohibiting a practice which is a violation of her Ma jesty's orders, and a flagrant breach of the law of the land. "These articles declare that it is suitable to the cha racter of honourable men to apologise and offer redress for wrong or insult committed, and equally as for the party aggrieved to accept, frankly and cordially, explanations and apologies for the same. "If such redress be refused to be given, or to be ac cepted, and the friends of the parties have failed to recon cile the difference, a reference should, in conformity with the signification of her Majesty's pleasure iu the [lo6th article, the 17th for the year 1854] be made to the com manding officer on the spot, who will use his best advice and influence to reconcile the parties, and the differences having been honourably settled by the good offices and re sponsibility of the commanding officer, ought never to be revived by either party, or by any other officer or body of officers ; if, however, the commanding officer fail to recon cile the parties it will become his duty to take such mea sures as he may deem necessary in order to prevent a duel, or to maintain good order in her Majesty's service, and the person refusing to be reconciled will be liable to be brought to a court-martial, and, if convicted, cashiered, or suffer such other punishment as the court may award. "All parties implicated in duelling are liable, on convic tion before a general court-martial, to be cashiered. "Her Majesty's pleasure is expressed in the [lo7th arti cle, 101st of the articles for the year 1854] that officers, being the friends or seoonds of the parties, shall exert their influence to adjust a difference on terms consistent with the honour of each of the parties. The failure in selling a difference being generally attributable to excessive de mands for reparation made by ono of the parties, the con duct of the seconds by the [lo7th article, 101st as above] is made liable to be investigated as well as that of the prin cipals in all cases in which a dispute shall be referred for the consideration of a general court martial. "Personal differences between gentlemen living together as brother officers can seldom fail to be honourably and promptly adjusted, in the first instance, by explanations between their mutual friends ; the propriety of an early explanation and acknowledgment of error was so forcibly pointed out by Field-Marshal the Doke of Wellington in confirming the sentence of a general court-martial in 1810, that I insert the following extract of his grace's sentiments on this point :--` The officers of the army should recollect that it is not only no degradation, but that it is meritori ous' in him who is in the wrong to acknowledge and atone for his error, and that the momentary humiliation which every man may feel upon making such an acknowledgment, is more than atoned for by the subsequent satisfaction which it affords him, and by avoiding a trial and convic tion of conduct unbecoming an officer.' _ . _ INSTRUCTIONS FOR OFFICERS ON FIRST JOIN ING A REGIMENT OR DEPOT. MEMORANDUM. Horse Guards, Sept. 2, 1854. 1. The General Commanding-in-Chief had, in the course of last year, been twice under the necessity of expressing to every regiment at home and abroad his apprehensions that a few inconsiderate officers might bring their regi ments into disrepute, unless, in their social conduct to wards each other at their mess table and in their barrack rooms, their behaviour should be regulated by a higher standard of whit is due to the honourable position in which they stand as the holders of commissions in her Majesty's army. 2. The first case which required Viscount Hardinge to assemble a court-martial on any officer was that of the 50th Regiment, on which occasion four subalterns were tried for forcibly seizing a young ensign, taking him to a pump, and there pumping upon him. ' Two of these officers were sentenced to be dismissed the service, and two were reprimanded. The memorandum containing Viscount Hardinge's com ments was dated sth July, 1853, and was read to the offi cers assembled of every - regiment in the service. It is given in the Appendix. 3. The second instance occurred in the 62d Regiment in October, 1853. A captain in command of two companies had repeatedly annoyed and disturbed the subaltern of his own company, and, accompanied by other officers had been in the habit of bursting into his room, and taking his bed to pieces, &c. The lieutenant had the proper spirit to make his report to the major of his regiment. The officer commanding the regiment did his duty firmly. He supported the subaltern, and reported his case to the Horse Guards. The captain was removed to another regiment, and lost five steps towards his advancement. Another subaltern was also removed, and the other captain was retained in the 62d, at the intercession of the commanding officer, on account of his good services in the field in India. The facts of the case, and the punishment awarded, were printed and circulated, and read to the officers of every regiment assembled. 4. A third instance has now occurred. It is that in the 46th Regiment. The case originated in a disgraceful scene of deep gambling in a barrack-room at Windsor, between Lieutenant Greer and Lieutenant Perry, terminating in a violent assault, in the course of which the most disgusting language was applied by Lieutenant Greer to Lieutenant Perry. 5. At the close of the trial of Lieutenant Greer, a letter was handed in to the President of that court-martial by Lieutenant Perry, charging his commanding officer, Colonel Garrett, with grave acts of injustice, and stating that he (Lieut. Perry) had sent a letter to his commandin g officer, threatening to appeal to the general officer of the district, &o. Colonel Garrett denied these acts of injustice imputed to him, and ho denied that any such letter had ever been sent to him by Lieut. Perry. 6. The General Commanding-in-Chief took the same course in this case as he had done in that of the 50th, and for the same reasons, viz., his determination not to consent to a compromise in any of these cases, but to eradicate the unmanly system. The charges made by Lieut. Perry against Colonel Garrett were specific. They amounted to a breach of her Majesty's regulations, and apparently were in de fiance of the admonitions and orders circulated in July and December, 1853. The General Commanding-in-Chief resolved, therefore, that the truth'or falsehood of these charges should be in vestigated by a court-martial on oath. 7. The result of that court-martial, as well as of the two preceding trials in the 46th Regiment, is given in the Ap pendix, in order that every young officer may have on his first joining his regiment, by means of these examples, a clear understanding of his own position. He will carefully read the Articles of War, given in the Appendix, together with a letter of the Judge-Advocate- General of 1844, which was published to the army, with the Mutiny Act and Articles of War of that year. If the ensign is firm, and has the proper spirit of an officer and a gentleman, he can have no difficulty, without any loss of honour or of temper, in resisting coarse practi cal jokes. But if he submits to them on the plea that they aro the customary probation of an officer entering the British army he will justly subject himself to the charge of having tamely submitted to insult ; and it is his duty, ou every account, and especially for the purpose of insuring his military effi ciency, which depends upon character, that he should not suffer any liberties to be taken calculated to expose him to the derision of his brother officers, and the men under his command. 8. These coarse irregularities, termed practical jokes, and the use of disgusting language, have increased, it is said, since the introduction of those Articles of War, in 18-14, which more strictly prohibited duelling in the army. Public feeling had, in the preceding year, been greatly shocked by two officers, who were brothers-in-law, having fought a duel, in which one was killed. The better and truer reason, however, for the increased strictness of the articles prohibiting duelling was that the tone of society had improved, and that all men were united in reprobating so barbarous a mode of settling a dispute. A few men of coarse and ungenerous tempers, since the severer Articles of War have been published, may have sought to take advantage of the apparent impunity which the prohibition afforded, and have taken greater liberties with their brother officers than they did when under the apprehension of immediate personal consequences. Such practices cannot be permitted ' • they must bo re pressed, for they are degrading to the character of an offices. They render him unfit to command his men, for they cannot feel for him the respect which is the basis of all enduring authority. They render him unfit to associate with his brother officers, who must hold him in contempt, or must have themselves sunk so low as not to shrink from contact with men of such coarse vulgarity. It can never be endured that the manners of British officers shall fall below the standard recognised by gentle men. "In reference to the 31a, Article of War, [l2th Article of War for 1854] and to the framing of charges in certain cases, arising out of differences, or out of reproachful speeches and gestures, I have to direct your attention to a letter which the ,Judge-Advocate•General of her Majesty's forces has addressed to me." (Copy.) Judge-Advocate-General's-office, 20th March, 1844. Sir,—The recent discussions on duelling in the army, and lie alterations in the Articles of War, have directed my attention to the language of charges, under which officers alleged to have submitted to indignity and insult, or to the imputation of dishonourable or unworthy conduct, have been, in repeated instances, brought to trial. An grroneous notion has, to a limited extent, obtained, that an officer can be brought to trial and punished for not challenging another, or for refusing to accept a chal lenge, or to tight a duel ; and in charges upon which officers have been 'cashiered, or otherwise punished, ex pressions may possibly be found which, if detached from the context, and considered without reference to the un doubted law of England, and to the clear and unambiguous language of the Articles of War, might afford some colour to this error. But it must be remembered that,by the common law of England, duelling, unattended by any injury to either party, is an aggravated offence against the public peace, punishable by fine and imprisonment. Thus, Mr. Justice Blackstone says :—" The punishment of common affrays is by fine and imprisonment. Where too persons coolly and deliberately engage in a duel, this being attended with an apparent intention and danger of murder, and being a high contempt of the justice of the nation, is a strong ag gravation of the affray, though no mischief has actually ensued." Under a recent statute, such persons may be come liable to transportation. If depth ensues, the parties implicated may be tried for murder. The military code has been, and will continue consistent with this. The 107th Article of War, 1844 [l7th Article for the year - 1&.54] renders all parties, principals as well as seconds, implicated in duelling, liable to be cashiered. The 103 d and 104th Articles [4th and 15th Articles for the year 1851] prescribe to a commanding officer the duty of preserving order in his regiment, and of placing under arrest all who use reproachful speeches and gestures ; a duty enjoined, with a view of preventing duels, and of bringing to trial by courts-martial parties who offer insults, and who will not offer redress by apology and acknowledg ment of their error. Moreover, officers in command of guards are under the GOth Article [lOll Article for the veer 1854] punishable for allowing persons to go forth to fight a duel. By the 101 th Article [lsth Article for the year 1854], officers of inferior rank may place under arrest those who are engaged in quarrels, frays, or disorders ; and by arti cles 35-11 and 144-15 auy officer, though of superior rank, who refuses to obey, is liable to be cashiered ; while in the 105th article [lGth article for the year 1851] her Majesty points out to the army that those who, being willing to make or accept frank explanations, apologies, or redress, refuse challenges, act as is suitable to the character of hon ourable men, 710 their duty as good soldiers, and are not only acquitted of all disgrace, but of all opinion of disad vantage. It is manifest then that an officer cannot be subjected to trial and punishment for leaving undone that which tho law thus expressly forbids, or for doing that which is thus distinctly declared not merely to be no offence, but to be suitable to the character of a man of honour, to be con formable to military duty, and to be conduct above all blame and reproach. Still an officer who allows the stigma of dishonourable conduct to rest upon him, or passes over, without notice, an insult offered to him, is liable to be brought to trial be fore a court-martial, not because he declines to fight a duel, but because, having failed to obtain speedy atonement through the intervention of mutual friends, or by other lawful means, lie neglects to report the matter to his coin uranding officer, and thereby to invite a searching investi gation into his character and conduct. By such neglect he seems either to acquiesce in the justice of the imputation cast upon him, and to admit that there is something in his conduct which he fears to lay bare before honour able men, or to show that regardless of his ewn reputation and honour, he knows not what is becoming the character of an officer and a gentleman, and that, indif ferent to the peace and order of the regiment, he is un mindful of the rules of military discipline. His conduct then becomes the proper subject of inquiry and adjudica tion before a court martial. In all such cases, however, it must be desirable to ex clude the possibility of misconstruction. And as the new articles point out with clearness the course which is con sistent with the character of honourable men, it will be the duty of those who have to frame charges, as well as of those to whose revision and correction, or approval charges may be submitted, to take care that the offence be described in language which shall distinctly state those particulars in which the letter or spirit of her Majesty's Articles of war has been neglected or violated.—l have, &c. (Signed) J. NICHOLL. As far as duels were permitted at all, they were suffered as means supposed to be conducive to the end of maintain ing in the barrack and mess-room the language and be haviour of gentlemen. But it would be a fatal mistake to infer that because duelling has been prohibited, any lower standard of man ners will be tolerated in the British army. The language and behaviour which formerly were held to justify a chal lenge must now, therefore, be visited by the removal of the offender from the society of which he has shown himself to be an unworthy member. 9. Every assistance and support Will be given to the young officer in his endeavours to avoid rendering himself liable to these consequences. In May last, before the spring inspections, the general officers and staff officers, inspecting regiments, were or dered to report "whether any practical jokes have been carried on at the mess table, or elsewhere, or any steps taken to prevent them." The reports are satisfactory : few regiments, however, have been inspected, owing to the greater part of the regi ments having previously embarked for foreign service. 10. The captain of the company to which the ensign, on joining, is appointed, will give him advice and support. • The major entrusted by the commanding officer with this branch of the interior discipline of a regiment will do the same, and be held responsible that he does it effec tually ; and if any ease should arise requiring interference or a reprimand, the terms of the reprimand, and the re cord of the letters must be forthcoming, to be shown to the general officer, and sent up to the Horse Guards. The necessity is apparent after the recent trials in the 46th Re giment, and all serious cases will at once bo reported to the Adjutant-General, for the decision of the General Com manding-in-chief. 11. No case of a practical joke appears to have occurred in the 46th Regiment since October, 1853, with the excep tion of the case of Lieutenant Dunscombe, 46th, at Wee don, in 1854. 12. •General Viscount Hardinge confidently asserts that the regimental system of the British army, now so long established, has proved its efficiency as be in g admirably adapted for all the varied duties of war and peace. He trusts that the irregularities and mischievous ten dencies resulting from practical jokes can and will bo cor rected, and disappear for ever. A. firm hut temperate exercise of authority on the part of commanding officers of regiments will effect the object &aired ; they will And, by a faithful discharge of their "This Letter of Instruction is so well calculated to set at rest any erroneous impressions which may have existed on this point, and places the question of framing charges in reference to the 31st Article of War (12th Article of War for 1854) on a footing so clear and intelligible, that It is only necessary for me to express my entire concurrence in the principles so ably laid down by the Judge-Advocate General.—l have, &c.

The General Commanding-in-Chief having had the honour to lay before her Majesty the Queen the proceedings of the general Court-martial holden at Windsor on the 12th July, 18'4, and continued by adjournments until the 14th July, 1854, for the trial of Lieutenant James Edward Perry, of the 46th Regiment, who was arraigned upon the under mentioned charge, viz. : Charge—" For conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, and to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, in having at Windsor on or about the night of the 28th, or morning of the 29th June, 1854, committed an outrageous assault on Lieutenant Mamas Fergus Greer, of the 46th Regiment, and grievously wounded the said Lieutenant Greer, by beating him on the head and face with a pair of candlesticks." Upon which charge the Court came to the following decision : APPENDIX No. 7. GENERAL ORDER. No. 543. Horse Guards, Sept. 2, 1854. At a general court-martial holden at Windsor on the 28th of July, 1854, and, continued by adjournments to the 21st August, 1854, Lieutenant James Edward Perry, of the 46th Regiment, was arraigned upon the undermen tioned charge, viz. : " For scandalous, 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 T. F.

Lieutenant" Colonel Garrett, viz. That after re peated acts of violence against myself (meaning the pri soner) (by other officers of the 46th while the regiment was in Dublin) in my bedroom, I reported the circumstances to Colonel Garrett, who reproached 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 Lieuten ant-Colonel Garrett, viz.: `who reproached me and called me a fool for my pains,' was false." Second—" For having in thesaid letter made the follow ing statement : I then patiently submitted to a series of in dignities, when I complained to Maj or Maxwell, who re presented the facts to Col. Garrett, upon which he gave the offenders a reprimand; so weak was the effect of the repri mand or caution given by Colonel Garrett, that though the acts of aggression were discontinued 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 Col.

It appeared on the record (page 11) that the court was cleared for the purpose of deliberating on the following question put by the prisoner on the cross-examination or Lieutenant T. F. Greer, first witness : " Did you not seize me by the breast and throat, and throw me on my bed; and did I not order you under arrest, which you refused to obey, saying you would see me damned first `:" The court was re-opened, and decided that the question should not be put to the evidence. The Deputy Judge Advocate-General, in the absence of the Judge Advocate-General, being of opinion that the prisoner has been thereby precluded from putting a ques tion to the witness which was legally admissible and rele vant to the issue, humblysubmitted that her Majesty should be pleased not to confirm the proceedings. For the above reasons, communicated from the Judge Advocate-General's office on the 7th inst., her Majesty was graciously pleased not to confirm the proceedings of the Court. By direction of the General Commanding-in-Chief, C. YORKE. APPENDIX No. 6. GENERAL ORDER. No. 542. Horse Guards, Sept. 2, MI. At a general court-martial held at Windsor on the 21st July, 1854, Lieutenant Thomas Fergus Greer, of the 46th Regiment, was arr aigned upon the under-mentioned charge, viz.:— " For conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, and to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, in the following instances : " First. In having at Windsor, on or about the night of the 28th or the morning of the 29th of June 1854, wilfully struck and offered oth er ersonal violence to Lieutenant James Edward Perry, of the 46th Regiment. " Second. In having, at the time and place last above mentioned, used provoking, insulting, and disgusting -language towards the said Lieutenant Perry, by calling him swindler," blackguard,' and by using other expres sions towards him of a most offensive and insulting nature." Upon which charge the Court came to the following decision : "The Court having maturely weighed and considered the whole of the evidence before it, together with what the prisoner has urged in his defence , are of opinion that he, the prisoner, Li eu t enan t Th omas Fergus Greer, of the 46th Regiment, is not guilty of that part of the charge contained in the first instance of it, namely : In having at Windsor, on or about the night of the 28th, or morning of the 29th June, 1854, wilfully struck and offered other per sonal violence to Lieutenant James Edward Perry, of the 46th Regiment, and do, therefore, acquit him of the same ; and the Court are of opinion that hp, the prisoner, Lieu tenant Thomas Fergus Greer, of the 46th Regiment, is guilty of the whole of that part of the charge contained in the second instance of it, viz. : In having, at the time and place last above mentioned, used provoking, insulting, and disgusting language towards the said Lieutenant Perry, by calling him 'swindler,' blackguard,' and by using other expressions towards him of a most offensive and insulting nature; with the exception of using the precise words, ' swindler," blackguard, of which they acquit him. " The Court having found the prisoner guilty of a part of the charge preferred against him as above specified, which, being in breach of the Articles of War do now by virtue thereof adjudge him, the prisoner, Lieutenant Thomas Fergus Greer, of the 46th Regiment, to be severely repri manded, and further to ba reduced on the list of lieuten ants of the 46th Regiment, and to be placed next below Lieutenant Nicholas Dunscombe, of the 46th Regiment." It appeared on the record that two witnesses were ex amined on the part of the prosecution : First, Lieutenant James Edward Perry ; second Esther Major. The first witness gave positive and detailed evi dence of several distinct actsof personal violence committed against him by the prisoner on the occasion in question ; and the record discloses no ground for deeming the testimony of this witness as given in chief, to have been rendered less worthy of credit by cross-exami nation. The evidence of the second witness, although it does not directly confirm that of the first as to particular details of personal violence, on the one hand does not contradict it, and on the other seems indirectly to corroborate it by agreeing with it in many particulars, the reality of which there seems no reason to doubt, and which, if they actually occurred, would render it probable th .1, acts of pera - mal violence were really committed by the prisoner, and that he made use of the expressions specified in the second instance of the charge. The evidence adduced by the prisoner cannot reasonably be regarded as either contradicting the testimony of the first witness in any particular materially affecting the is sues to he tried, or as showing that the witness was wholly unworthy of credit. Nor can the address of the prisoner reasonably be consi dered to have impaired the value or altered the effect of the evidence for the prosecution. It thus appeared that the finding of the court, on the first instance of the charge, not without warrant, as being against evidence, and that so much the finding of the court on the second instance as is comprised in the words "with the exception of using the precise words ' swindler," black guard; of which they acquit him," was also without war rant, as being against. evidence. The Deputy-Judge-Advocate-General, in the absence of the Judge-Advocate-General, humbly submitted that her Majesty should be graciously pleased to order the Court to be re-assembled, with a view to a revision of the proceed ings on the grounds above set forth. For the above reasons her Majesty was graciously pleased to order the court to be re-assembled, with a view to a re vision of the proceedings. - Tier Majesty has been pleased to approve and confirm the finding and sentence of the Court. The Deputy Judge-Advocate-General having submitted to her Majesty the proceedings in the case of Lieutenant Perry, and her Majesty having been advised to approve and confirm the finding and sentence of the court in all that regards the legal points relating to the Judge-Advo cate-General's department the General Commanding-in- Chief humbly submitted to her Majesty that the finding and sentence be approved on military grounds. The importance of upholding discipline and good order in her Majesty's service imposed upon the General Com manding-in-Chief the necessity of submitting to her Ma jesty, that the sentence passed by the Court on the prisoner should be carried into effect, notwithstanding the recom mendation of the Court in his favour, and the reason as signed for that, recommendation. No commanding officer would he safe in the discharge of his duties if inferior officers could with impunity make accusations similar to those of which Lieutenant Perry has been found guilty. The prisoner has been acquitted on the first instance of the charge, but found guilty of the second, third, and fourth instances, and has been sentenced to be cashiered. When au officer has been found guilty of such charges, and sentenced to be cashiered, and that the legality of the proceedings of the Court awarding such a sentence had been confirmed by the two departments whose duty it is to sub mit to 3ier Majesty their opinions, the General Command ing-in-Chief has only one means of giving effect to the Court's recommendation for her Majesty's clemency, which Was to solicit her Majesty to permit the prisoner to receive the amount of his commissions ; and this recommendation her Majesty has been graciously pleased to approve. Lieutenant Peiry was appointed to an ensigncy in January, 1853, without purchase, solely on account of his father's very meritorious services in the army ; he subse quently purchased his lieutenancy. The General Commanding-in-Chief cannot close his ob servations on these proceedings without noticing the letter of Lieutenant William Waldy. The letter of Lieutenant William Waldy, addressed to Lieutenant Perry on the 2d June, 1851, is not to be recon ciled with 1.i3 evidence given before the court-marti a l which tried Li eu t enan t P erry a few weeks afterwards. In the letter he states that Captain Nicholas bas applied a very insulting epithet to Ensign Coote at the mess-table, and that the latter had given the lie direct to Captain Nicholas. Horse Guards, August 11, 1854. The general court-martial having this day re-assembled in compliance with the orders of the General Commanding-in- Chief, signifying her Majesty's commands that the former sentence shall be revised by the court, and stating that the grounds on which such commands have been given by her Majesty ; which documents were laid before the court by the Deputy Judge Advocate, together with th e or i g i na l proceedings of the court held for the trial of Lieutenant Thomas Fergus Greer, of the 46th Regiment ; " The court, having carefully re-considered the evidence that was brought before them during the trial, beg most respectfully to adhere to their former decision." H er Majesty was pleased not to confirm and approve the finding and sentence of the court. The General Commanding-in-Chief felt it his duty humbly to submit to her Majesty the sense he entertained of Lieutenant Greer's conduct throughout these transac tions. As a witness on oath, before the court-martial, he denied or forgets that he had written such a letter ; even if he did forget, his levity is deserving the severest reprehension. After the court had closed its proceedings, Lieutenant William Waldy was called upon by his commanding officer to explain his conduct iu this matter. He stated in his explanation, that " he must have given a higher colour to the affair than it merited"—that " since the affair scarce an officer has spoken to him" -and that " in a foolish moment he wrote the strongest language re corded against him in his letter." Lieutenant William Waldy appears to be a weak gos siping young man, insensible of the duty of a rigid adher ence to the truth in describing the conduct of others ; and incapable of estimating the mischievous consequences of exaggerating a contradiction at the mess-table into the lie direct, by which departure from the truth the character of his brother officers might have been seriously affected. He does not appear, however, to have been actuated by any malicious motives, and in the absence of any proof of corrupt intention, the General Commanding-in-Chief hereby directs, with her Majesty's sancti on , th a t Li eut. Wm. Waldy be severely reprimanded, and cautioned, for the rest of his life to adhere strictly to th e truth. P By command of the General Commanding-in-Chief, C. YORKE, Military Sec. As a witness before the first court-martial which tried Lieutenant Perry, ho repeatedly declined to answer the questions put to him by the prisoner, Lieutenant Perry, which were necessary for the discovery of the truth, on the plea that he would thereby criminate himself. When on his own trial, it is clearly established by evi dence then taken, that Lieutenant Greer had applied the most disgusting expressions to Lieutenant Perry. The evidence on the preceding trial of Lieutenant Perry is also confirmatory of these facts, and they admit of no reasonable doubt. Such ungentleman-like conduct is calculated to degrade any officer iu the eyes of his men, and to destroy his power of maintaining discipline. A person w h o d ues not shrink from the utterance of such disg race f u l language is unfit to preserve his position of social eq ua lit y i n a regiment amongst his brother offi cers. He cannot exchange into anoth er reg i m ent, for the offi cers would r e f use to receive him ; and they would be en titled so to do under her Majesty's regulations. The General Commanding-in -Chief could not omit to mark with the expression of the severest displeasure the gambling propensities of Lieutenant Greer. But, without reference to these propensities, call for conduct already adverted to is fully sufficient to his removal from the army. ding-in-Chief the mis conduct these •grounds, the General Cornwell Greer • submitted to her Majesty that Li le of his cm. s atenant ' should be removed from the service by the ea ,--.,_---- -, ,40 THE ARTICLES OF WAR REFERRED TO IN THE FOREGOING OBSERVATIONS. 15.

The General Commanding-in-Chief has perused the de tails of the conduct of the four officers of the 50th Regi ment, tried by a general court-martial at Preston, with the deepest concern. _ _ The disgusting and insulting language used by Lieutenant -- and Lieutenant in the mess-room of the 50th Regiment, and applied to Ensign ---, terminating by the forcible seizure of that officer and dragging him to a pump and there pumping upon him, is an instance of out rage unparalleled in the British army. It has been clearly proved, that these officers did use the language with which they have been charged, and in their defence and in the preceding correspondence they admit, that, in seizing Ensign by force and pumping upon him, they, at the moment, acted under feelings of great ex citement and irritation. It is therefore evident that this outrage cannot be glossed over as being a mere practical joke carried too far. It is further proved, that after this personal outrage, when Ensign - sought for an apology, he was violently pushed out of the room. As regards these two officers nothing more could be said by the Court than a recommendation for her Majesty's clemency in the case of Lieutenant - founded on his gallant services, and his previoh s unexcep tionable conduct, as certified by he commanding officers under whom he has served. An officer who has served gallantly should feel that he can afford to be forbearing and moderate, when in volved in a discussion with a young ensign, add his lord ship regrets that this part of the case from first to last has no possible extenuation. Viscount Hardinge therefore re commended her Majesty to confirm the sentence of the Court, and these officers have been dismissed from the service. With regard to Lieutenant --, the Court found him guilty of the charge of offering personal violence to Ensign --, by forcibly, and in concert with other officers, taking Ensign -- to a pump, and there pumping upon him, but the Court acquitted him of "conduct unbecoming the character of an officer and a gentleman," and did not con sider the act of thus forcibly pumping upon him to have been of a " most insulting and outrageous nature." The same was the result in the case of Lieutenant -, in whose favour there is a slight shade of difference. The opinion of the court, therefore, in tho two cases of Lieutenants -- and --- was recorded, and to drag an officer by force from the mess-room to a pump, and there pump upon him, was not conduct unbecoming offi cers and gentlemen, nor an insulting outrage on a brother officer. Lieutenant -- admits, in his letter of the 18th March, addressed to the commanding officer and produced before the court, that at the time of seeing Ensign he was much irritated by the conversation in the ante room, which was of an insulting character, applied to Ensign --, and thus it is clear that, in dragging En sign as a practical joke carried too far, but that, being under irritation, he aided Lieutenant -- and Lieutenant in pumping on Ensign ---. The General Commanding-in-Chief could not allow such an erroneous opinion to pass unnoticed, which, if tolerated, would be subversive of that social good feeling, high tone of honour, and military discipline which have hitherto prevailed in the British Army. If such opinions and doctrines are to be sanctioned by a court-martial, where is the licence to degrade a brother officer to stop? Is it to be confined to subalterns? The high sense of personal honour must be as scrupulously up held in their case as in the upper ranks. In private society, English gentlemen would not tolerate such insults, excused and palliated on the plea of practical jokes; and Viscount Harding° was convinced that the court, com posed of thirteen gentlemen, would, on reflection, revise their opinion, calculated to mislead the officers of the army, and to lower the tone of honour which all are desirous of upholding. The revised finding of 'the court, to the effect that this conduct was unofficex-like, ungentleman-like, and a gross insult, has been approved and confirmed by her Majesty. The General Commanding-in-Chief approves of the con duct of Ensign —. If that officer had tamely submitted to the gross and insulting language applied to him, or to the personal indignity of pumping upon him, and if the facts bad come to the General Commanding-in-Chiefs knowledge, he would have tried Ensign —, as unworthy to hold a commission in her Majesty's service. Every officer, whatever be his rank, is the guardian of his own honour, his conduct being governed and controlled by the Articles of War. This is clearly laid down in the Judge-Advocate-General's letter to the Secretary-at-War of 17th April, 1844, and circulated by the Secretary-at- War in transmitting the Mutiny Act and Articles of War of that year to every regiment, and if an officer passes over without notice an insult offered to him, he is liable to be brought to a court martial, not because he declines to fight a duel, but because he shrinks from availing himself of those means which the Articles of War, and the justice of his brother officers, place at hie disposal, when redress for insult is not prevented by his own misconduct. It is competent for any officer, however young his rank, to protest against such disgusting language as that re peatedly used on the 17th March at the mess-table, whether applied to himself or another officer, on the clear ground that such language was an insult to the whole regiment; and whether Captain -- or any senior officer heard the insults passed upon Ensign -- or not, it would equally have been the duty of any junior officer to protest against such language, and to prevent any act of personal violence offered to a brother officer, in. accordance with the 15th Article of War, inserted in the margin.* In all cases of intemperate discussion, or of quarrels, when they unfortunately occur, a reference to the friendly arbitration of a brother officer is defined and pointed out in the Articles of War, specified in the margin.t Lieutenant-Colonel -- exercised a sound judgment in the course he pursued, of reporting the circumstance to the Lieutenant-General commanding the district, and Lord Hardinge requests it may be clearly understood by every officer in the army, that in all cases where a blow may be struck, or a threat of personal chastisement used, the commanding officer of the regiment or corps will, in all practicable cases, report the occurrence for the information and orders of the general officer under whom he may be acting. The General Commanding-in-Chief desires that, as these insults, miscalled practical jokes, are calculated to annoy and exasperate the feelings of officers, and interrupt the harmony which ought to prevail in every regiment, they may be peremptorily prohibited ; and officers commanding regiments will point out to every young officer, when he first joins the regiment, those Articles of War referred to in this letter (Arts. 14 to 17 inclusive), which directly apply to discussions and quarrels in the regiment, so as to enable him to regulate his conduct with the most perfect good temper, and at the same time with that high sense of honour and military spirit inculcated in her Majesty's Articles of War, in almost every ono of which it is re quired that an officer shall not only act gallantly in the field, but that his conduct and temper shall be those of a gentleman in every relation of life. Lieutenants and -- will, in the presence of the officers assembled, bo reprimanded for their ungenerous and unmanly treatment of Ensign —, Their conduct will be reported upon by inspecting general and staff officers dur ing the next twelve months. The General Commanding-in-Chief expresses his regret that he should have to animadvert on such gross misconduct as that which occurred in the 50th regiment, in their social intercourse in the mess-room. Lord Hardincm has witnessed the gallant behaviour of this regiment at b Viiniera under Sir G. Walker, at Corunna under Sir C. Napier, and more recently he has had to thank the regiment, repeatedly, for their eminent services and most distinguished conduct in the four battles of the Sutlej campaign, when commanded and forming part of Sir Henry Smith's division. H e has the fullest confidence in the regiment , in whose welfare and h onour he takes the by Brevet Lieutenant - Colonel Ry an, deepest interest ; and, as a mark of his unabated regard, he will, by her Majesty's gracious pornaission, dispense with the usual publication of the charges and sentence, in a general order to the army, and, i n li eu of it, transmits this confidential memorandum to officers commanding re giments, td be by them read to the officers assembled in the mess-room.
