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, only 24, 1854, and addressed to Colonel the Hon. Arthur Upton ' president of the court-m ar ti a l th en an d there assembled for the trial of Lieutenant T. F. Greer— which letter bore the signature of the prisoner, and was then there delivered to the said Colonel Upton—made the following slanderous statement respecting his commanding officer, Lieutenant-Colonel Garrett, viz. That rftsr re peated acts of violence against myself (meaning the pri soner) (by other officers of the 4Gth while the regiment era!! 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 the said letter made the follow wheli I complained to Major Maxwell, who ing statement : then Patiently submitted to a series of re presentedin- dignities, the facts to Col. Garrett, upon which he gave the offenders a reprimand; so weak was the effect of the repri manda or caution g iven by Colonel Garrett, that though the acts of ag gress i on were di scon ti nu ed, 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. Garrett. On it being known that I was determined upon such a • course, I was earnestly entreated, by several of my brother officers, to forbear making any complainst. I did forbear, t e generalmtrn t of with th edis referencetdistrict and from that time I was relieved from any repetition of to o f the the annoyances and indignities under which I had formerly appeala said d o the ata laboured,' he, the prisoner, then well knowing that so much 'as is comprised in the following words, Until I threatened that effect to Colonel Garrett,' ct, a to nd e :e lo n n t d that he, the Colonel Garrett, G le a tter rret to t, prisoner, had never madewas false, an any threat to Colonel Garrett, either by word of mo th u or in writing, that he would ap peal to the general of the distr.'

By command of General Hardinge, Commanding-in-Chief, G. A. WETIIERALL, Deputy Adjutant-General. APPENDIX—No. 1. (Copy.) tEMORANDIIM. Horse Guards, sth July, 1853. 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 him, they, at the moment, acted under feelings of great ex citement and irritati on . It i s therefore ev id en t th a t thi s outrage cannot be gl osse d over as being a mere p rac ti ca l joke carried too far. -- by force and pumping upon 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 Majtsty's clemency in the case of Lieutenant founded on his gallant services, and his previous unexceptionable conduct, as certified by the 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, and 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 havOseen 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 the two cases of Lieutenants --- and --- was recorded, and to drag an officer by force f ro m th e mess - room t o a pump, and there pump upon him, was not conduct unbecoming offi cers and gentlemen, nor an insulting outrage on a brother officer. - very destructive to the social happiness of officers living together in regiments, and is calculated to lower the high tone of honour by which the officers of the army always have been distinguished. The Gen eral Comm anding-in-Chief, with the approbation of her Majesty, orders that Captain be severely re primanded, and removed to another regiment. That Captain --- be severely reprimanded for being a party to these insults; but in consideration of the inter cession made in his favour by Lieutenant-Colonel Trollope he will be allowed to remain in the 621 Regiment, having served, and been wounded with it in the Sutlej campaign, whore that regiment conducted itself with great gallantry. That Lientonaut --- be severely reprimanded, and removed to another regiment. The conduct of Lieutenant is approved. The Ge neral Commanding-in Chief has no doubt that he has ob tained tho approbation of his brother officers by refusing to submit to practical jokes which, by their repetition, had become intolerable. who shall o r d er him into arrest ;—or shall draw hs sw rc! shall, for each and refuse to ob ey any other officer (though of inferior ranok)., i upon or off er v i o l ence to such officer, every one of th e aforesaid offences, en conviction thereof before a general court martial be cashiered. 101.

In the event of an officer being brought to a court-mar tial for having assisted as a seco4in a duel, if it shall appear that such officer had strenuously exerted himself to effect an adjustment of the difference on terms consis tent with the honour of both parties, and shall have failed through the unwillingness of the adverse parties to accept terms of honourable accommodation, then our w ill and pleasure is th a t suc h of fi cer shall suffer such punishment, other than cashiering, as the court may award.

PRESCOTT'S HISTORICAL WORKS • NEW EDITIONS. NOW READY. 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." , 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 tothe officers assembled, of reprimanding the officers named, and of admonishing and requiring the whole corps of officers to assist their commanding officer iu eradicating this most im proper syStem.

She is also the first steam-ship that returned to England via Cape Horn, thus accomplishing a voyage round the . world in 128 days. The vessels forming the superb fleet of screw - steamers of this Company, of which this ship is one, are well known for the punctuality and speed with which their voyages are performed.

Hungarian Brothers Miss " 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 seconds 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 setling a difference being generally attributable to excessive de mands for reparation made by one of the parties, the con duct of the seconds by the [lo7th article, 101st as above] is made liable to bo 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 Duke 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 tho subsequent satisfaction which it affords him, and by avoiding a trial and convic tion of conduct unbecoming an officer.' "In reference to the 31st 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.) " The Court having maturely weighed and considered the evidence brought forward in support of the prosecu tion, together with that which the prisoner has adduced in his defence, is of opinion, with regard to the first instance of the charge, that he, the prisoner, Lieut. Ja mes Ed war d Perry, 46th Regiment of Foot, is not guilty."- " With regard tee the second instance of the charge—that he, the prisoner, Lieut. James Edward Perry, 46th Regi ment, is guilty. " With regard to the third instance of the charge—that he, the prisoner, Lieut. James Edward Perry, 46th Regi ment, is guilty. " With regard to the fourth instance of'the charge—that he, the prisoner, Lieut. James Edward Perry, 46th Regi ment, is also guilty. " The Court having found the prisoner, Lieut. James Edward Perry, 46th Regiment of Foot, guilty of the second, third, and fourth instances of the charge preferred against him, which being in breach of the Articles of War, does now adjudge him, the prisoner, Lieut. James Edward Perry, 46th Regiment of Foot, to be cashiered." " The Court having found the prisoner guilty of the second, third, and fourth instances of the charge preferred against him, and performed the painful duty of sentencing him to be cashiered, in strict conformity to the Articles of War, which deprived them of all discretionary power, taking into its consideration the youth and inexperience of the prisoner —the exciting and painful position he stood in at the time the letters were written on which the charge is founded—and the circumstances disclosed in evidence un der which they were signed by him, begs leave humbly to recommend the prisoner to her Majesty's clemency on the grounds of his having acted under ill-judged counsel and influence, in committing so grave a breach of military order and discipline." Her 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• cite-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 be 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 an officer has been found guilty of such charges, and sentenced to bo cashiered, and that the legality of the proceedings of the Court aw a rdi ng suc h a sentence had been confirmed by the two departments whose duty it is to sub mit to her Majesty their opinions, the General Command ing-in-Chief has only ono 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 ME.jesty has been graciously pleased to approve. Lieutenant Perry was appointed to an ensignoy 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, 1854, is not to be recon ciled with his evidence given before the court-martial which tried Lieutenant Perry a few weeks afterwards. • In the letter he states that Captain Nicholas has applied a very insulting epithet to Ensign Coote at the mess-table, and that the latter had given the lie direct to Captain Nicholas. 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 in this matter. He stated in his explanation, that " he must have given "since the higher colour to the affair than it raerited"—th a t 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."

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.

If such opinions and doctrines are to be sanctioned by a court-martial, where is the licence to degrade a b ro th er 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 iu the upper ranks. In private society, English gentlemen would not tolerate such insults, excused and palliated on the plea of practical jokes; and Viscount Hardingo 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 unofficer-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-Chief's knowledge, ho would have tried Ensign -, as unworthy to hold a commission in her Majestys 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 his 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 oa 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.l - -- 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 eases 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 regim en t, th ose A rt i cles 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 condu c t an d temper shall bo those of a gentleman in every relati on o f li fe.

An erroneous notion has, to a limited extent, obtained, that an officer can bo 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 bo 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.

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 death ensues, the parties implicated may be tried for murder.

We have only to say that th public 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 5,000 cases cured out of the hospitals. We have ourselves dur ing the la. t 20 years proved the truth of the purgative system, although the" Times" of the 26th of August, which announces the suocess of Dr. Johnson, calls it a " new treatment of cholera."

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 inconsidei ate 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 bo 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. 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 °th etas assembled of every regiment in the service. It is given in the Appendix. 32`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 commanding officer, threatening to appeal to the general officer of the district, &c. Colonel Garrett denied these acts of injustice imputed to him, and he denied that any such letter had ever been seat 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 bo 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 are the in ti g sh ta a m rm ely y h c customary swt justlyill a y prof s h b a h. i e o e n t o hli n s e o l ffi f t c e e henter ingcharge o t h f e h B a submitted to insult • and it is his duty, on 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 meu under his command. 8. These coarse irregularities, termed practical jokes, and the us'' of disgusting language, have increased, it is said, since the introduction of those Articles of War, in 1844, 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 be re pressed, for they are degrading to the character of an officer. 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 °Slicers shall fall below the standard recognised by gentle men. As far ai duels were permitted at all, they were suffered as means suppCsed 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 boon carried on at the mess table, or elsewhere, or any steps taken to p re vent 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 General Commanding - in cor respondence which has been transmitted, Irea m t . g to a seri ous breach of good order and militar Y discipline by three officers of the 62d Regiment on detachment at Carlow, in which Captain —, Captain ----, and Lieutenant are involved, by having offered insults and acts of outrage to Lieutenant -- of the same regiment, on the pretence that these proceedings were merely practical jokes. Captain -- was the officer in command of the two companies detached ; and it appears, by the report of Lieu tenant-Colonel Trollope, commanding the 62d Regiment, that Captain -- had been on a f ormer occasi on admo nished by him, in presence of the officers of the regiment assembled, not to resort to such objectionable conduct for the future as that of annoying the younger officers of the regiment by what are termed practical jokes. Lieutenant- Colonel Trollope then observed that he considered him, Captain ---, to be the leader in the regiment of these outrages, and Captain did not deny the imputation. In the same letter from Lieutenant-Colonel Trollop e , he further states that only a few da y s befor e Captain went in command of the detachment to Carlow, he desired Major --- to caution him to alter his condu c t towards his brother officers, as his example had infl uenced the con duct of a younger of f ice r in a serious scrape, which the lieutenant-colonel had settled. A few days after the arrival of the detachment at Car low, Lieutenant --- wrote to Major expressing his wish to exchangb into another regiment in consequence of the insulting practical jokes to which he had been subjected by Captain --, Captain --...._, and Lieu tinlant Lieutenant-Colonel Trollope did not hesitate, as soon es these facts came to his knowledge, to do his duty firmly. Ho had cautioned Captain --- and had exhausted all the means of advice and admonition ; and considering that, in this instance, he had grossly neglected his duty by being an active party to these annoyances, he made it a- point that Captain -- should no longer remain in the regi ment. The General Commanding - in - Chief approves of the view taken by Lieutenant-Colonel Trollope, and his lordship as sures Lieutenant-Colonel Trollope, and every commanding officer, that they will, on all occasions of a similar nature, be supported by him in putting down a practice by which officers become habituated to take great liberties with, and use very coarse language towards each other, which would not be tolerated in any other profession. It is a practice or belong to o k ifi a c n e • i e l st si c ili *Art. 15.

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, he neglects to report the matter to his com manding officer, and thereby to invite a searching investi gation into his character and conduct. By suoh 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 own 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 sabject 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.

In having at Windsor, on or about the night of the 28th or the morning of the 29th of June, 1851, wilfully struck and offered other personal 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,' a nd by us i ng o th er expres sions towa r d s 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 be, the prisoner, Li eu t enan t Thomas 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, th ere f ore, acqu i t hi m of the same; and the Court are of opinion that he, the prisoner ? Lieu tenant Thomas Fergus Greer, of the 46th Regiment, is guilty of the wh o l e o 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, swinciler,"Mackguard, 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 is 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 be 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;. that acts of personal 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 be 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 procee - 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.' Horse Guards, August 11, 1854. The general court-martial having this day re-assembled in compliance with the orders of the General Commanding-in- t 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 the original 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 to adhere to before their them former durin d g eci th sio n."e trial, beg m o st respectfully Her 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 before the first court-martial which tried Lieutenant Perry, he 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 in the eyes Of his teen, and to destroy his power of maintaining discipline. A person who does not shrink from the utterance of such disgraceful language is unfit to preserve his position of soci a l equa li ty i n a regiment amongst his brother offi cers. He cannot exchange into another regiment, for the offi cers would r e f uge to receive him ; and they would be en titled so t o d o under her Majesty's regulations. The General Commanding-in -Chief could not om it the to mark with th e expression of the severest disple asure gambling propensities of Lieutenant Greer.. ties-, the But without reference to these propen o f e i nt mis conduct already adverted to is fully suffi to call for his removal from the army. On these grounds, the General Commanding-in-Chief humbly submitted to her Majesty . that_ Li eut enant G .,.. re ... er . 49144 In magyed from the ricrvwc by the I C " i " VV4"- BANKING _RETURNS.
