" I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant, "J. YORKE Sc ARLETT, A.G. ",'Messrs. Thorndike and Smith, 11, Staple-inn, W.C." " 11, Staple inn, London, W.C., N ov. 1863. " Sir,—We are in receipt of your l e tt ers of the 3d inst., which we have communicated to Mr. Samuel Lilley. " Mr. Lilley requests us to express his regret and disappointment that in a case in which he and his relative , ' have so great and manifest an interest his Royal Highness the Field Marshal Commanding in Chief should should allow the practice.of courts martial' to interfere in preventing the concession to him of the very reasonable requests we made on his behalf in our letter of the 30th ult., especially as we again repeat that the full and impartial trial promised by his Royal Highness cannot be had if the relatives Of the deceased sergeant - major are not properly repre sented thereat. " In consequence of the refusal of his Royal High ness to allow our clients to be furnished w i t h a copy of the charges upon which Lieut.-Colonel Crawley is to be tried, for (as we venture to think) t he very insufficient reason that it is not in accordance with the practice of courts martial to do so, the reports in the public journals are the only source from which the relatives of the deceased sergeant-me jor can de rive any information on the subject. " IV; are instructed to urge upon his Royal High ness that the proposed charges, as contained in those reports are wholly insufficient to meet the justice of the case in the present instance, and do not embrace to the full extent the wrong alleged to have bee❑ done by Lieut.-Colonel Crawley upon his unfortu nate deceased subordinate officer. "We are, therefore, instructed by Air.

Sir,—Mr. Samuel ',they, the brother of the late Sergeant Major John Lilley, has instructed us to request you to give publicity to the accompanying correspondence we have had with the adjutant general on behalf of his family, as he is naturally anxious the public should know it has not been for the want of any effort on the part of the family that they will not be properly represented at this court martial, or that the issues on that inquiry have been confined to such narrow limits, and have failed to embrace the important question as to the legality of the arrest of the three sergeant-majors without trial.—We are, sir, your obedient servants, " 11, Staple-inn, London, W.C., Oct. 30, 1863.

SHREWSBURY NOVEMBER RACES We are ignorant of the secret that Mr. John Frail pos sesses in being able to tempt from their homes and firesides at this season of the year the concourse of people who have filled the hotels and lodgings of Shrewsbury, and given such universal vitality to the quiet old town. Beds are at a pre. mium, and upwards of 200 horses have already arrived. This is sufficient comment on the prospects of the Novem ber meeting of '63, without further remarks from us. The Queen's Guineas proved an easy victory to Blithfield, Bally Edmond bolting soon after the start and losing con siderable grounds in consequence, thereby depriving him of any chance he possessed. The Newport Gold Cup only brought three to the post, a falling off from last year, which saw a much larger field for this race. The favourite, Gemma, won without being extended, scoring an addition to the many successes that have lately fallen to Lord Stamford. The Carnival Nursery was an easy performance for the favourite, Caroline, who waited on her horses to the straight, and, coming away with a clear lead, won by a length and a half. Bittern, who was leading at the com mencement of the race, swerved at the rails, and fell with his rider, Loates, without, however, injaringhim. The Foregate Stakes were another victory for Lord Stamford, and Mr. Payne's colours were also for a second time borne in the van by Overture, in the Abbey Handicap. The hurdle race wound up an excellent day's sport with a good race between the three placed, the favourite, Serious Case, win ning rather easily at the finish. The snn was almost that of summer, and the air com paratively warm. There was a large attendance, and most of the notabilities of the sporting world were present.

Grimshaw) 3 Betting-2 to lon Welland, 3to 1 agat Lord Burleigh, and 5 to 1 agst Lufra. Lord Burleigh jumped off with the lead, Welland going on second, Lufra last. They ran in these positions to half way in the distance, where the latter dropped back, leaving Welland in attendance to the stand, where Custance made his effort but failed to got up, and was beaten cleverly by three quarters of a length.

Blithfield, with Laertes at his side made the running, at tended by Bally Edmond to the T.Y.C. post, where the latter slipped the rails and went some distance on the wrong side, but he was speedily pulled round and following in the wake of the leaders, who alternately led to the mile post the last time, when French took a pull at the favourite, which allowed Bally Edmond to join Laertes, the pair racing to gether into the straight, where the latter was beaten. Blithfield at the same time came to the front, and half-way up obtained a clear lead, which he retained to the end, and won in a canter by ten lengths. Laertes was pulled up, and did not pass the post. The Newport Gold Cup, value 170 sovs and upwards, weight for age, by subscription of 10 sovs each, sft, with 50 added for 2-yr-olds ; winners extra, with maiden allowances ; second to save his stake.'

In consequence of Avongrove, Disdain, and Jessie break ing away several times the start was delayed some time. When they were despatched Rowena took a decided lead, followed by Disdain, Jessie, Miss Emma, and Foreteller, Antidote acting as whipper in. The race in these positions was retained for a quarter of a mile, when the favourite took the second place, and upon Rowena running out of the course at the commencement of the rails she came on with the command, closely followed by Douche, Disdain, Fore teller, and Highland Mary to the enclosure, when Disdain dropped back, and the two young ones took second and third places, and ran in close company to the stand, where Highland Mary attempted to get through, but failed, she then finishing a fine race home, Foreteller winning on the post by a head, a similar distance separating the second and third ; Disdain was fourth, Zingari fifth, and Douche next. The winner was sold to Mr T. Mason for 65 guineas. Mr Payne claimed Miss Emma. The Carnival Nursery Handicap of 10 sovs each, 5 ft, with 150 added. The second to save his stake. Winners extra.

The Africa is a paddlewheel steamer, built of wood, at Greenock, in 1850, of 2,226 gross and 1,216 registered tonnage, and was under the command of Mr, James Stone, who held a certificate of competency as master, dated January 7, 1851. She had a crew of 130 hands, all told, and was in every respoct thoroughly equipped, The Africa left Liverpool Oct. 3, carrying the mails, 120 cabin passengers, and a general cargo, bound for Halifax and New York. After touching at Queenstown on the following day, she sailed again at 3 38 p.m. ; made the Fastnet at 10 20 p.m., and thence took her departure on her voyage to America. Observa tions for latitude and longitude were obtained daily from the sth to the 11th inclusive, and up to that date nothing occurred which calls for comment. At noon on the 12th a good observation was obtained for latitude, which placed them in 47 11 N. ; but as no sights had been obtained for the chronometers, the longitude was calculated to be 50 21 W., and Cape Race was estimated to bear S. 73 26 W. true, distant 112 miles. The weather at noon is represented in the log-book to have been strong from S.S. W. At 6 p.m. increasing winds and stormy weather, sea rising, and sail was shortened. At 73) pan. wind shifted to W., and all sail was taken in. At S p.m. moderating breezes and thick foggy weather, with rain. From Dion to 6 p.m. the course steered was W. by N. N., and the speed of the vessel was 121 knots an hour. At 6 p.m. the course was altered to W. i N., and so continued at a speed of 11 knots an hom, until she struck about 9 50 p.m., somewhere, probably, in the vicinity of the extreme point of Cape Race ; but the exact position was never ascertained. Immediately before striking, the master, who was on deck, states that he saw a whitish line on the edge of the water on the starboard bow which ho knew could not at that season be ice, and instantly gave orders to put his helm hard a-starboard. Almost s imultaneously the first mate gave a similar order, having seen the same object, which was also at the same time reported by the look-out men. The vessel played off under her starboard helm two or three points, when she took the ground. The engines were then stopped, and it would appear from the evidence that she re mained there for about 20 minutes, during which time her head payed off to port. Shortly after striking the water was discovered to have filled the fore peak, and also to have found its way into the engine-room. The engines were moved slowly a-head, which had the effect of casting her head more to seaward, and the captain having discovered that the channel ahead appeared free from danger, gave orders to go on at full speed, which was done, and the ves sel went off apparently into deep water ; but neither previ ously nor subsequently to the accident was the load used. After consultation with the chief engineer, the captain de termined to run for St. John's, Newfoundland, the then nearest port. In proceeding thither the vessel became almost unmanageable from the injured state of the rudder and the quantity of water in the forehold ; but the master succeeded, notwithstanding the stormy state of the weather, in getting her into St. John's on the 13th, about two p.m. and beached her in the harbour. After some repairs were effected by means of divers, and the construction of a tank in the fore part of the ship, she sailed from St. John's on the 27th Oct., and, after a very stormy passage across the Atlantic was brought safely into Liverpool on the 3d of Nov. inst. I should here mention that the captain, who, at the request of his legal adviser, was sworn to give evi dence, does not agree with the mate's entries in the log book as to the state of the woather on the evening of the accident. The terms he used to describe the weather were dark and hazy,' not foggy, a little rain occasionally, some times clearing up; and the mate, in his evid ence , dis claims any intention of implying by the entry in the log that the weather was what would be called ' dense fog.' But the united testimony of the witnesses certainly goes to prove that the night was very dark and thick, with drizzling rain ; and in confirmation of this fact, several of them give it as their opinion that a ship's light might have been seen a t a distance of from one to two miles, In my opinion the strongest indication of the dark and thick state of the weather is the circumstance that the danger was scarcely seen before the ship struck. I ca nnot dismis s th e question of discrepancy between the entries in th e l og -book and the evidence of the witnesses without a word of comment on the statement made by the master, that he was not in the habit of examining the log-book—a duty which, I am informed by the assessors, he ought to consider as incumbent on him, both for his own protection and for the benefit of his owners, in case of accident or loss, It is with regret that lam com pelled to pronounce the master in default. T 1 —s' a reference to the chart, and from his own evidence, the courses steered would have taken him within six or seven miles of Cape Race, assuming that he had no lateral current, as the compasses appear to have been perfectly correct, The i course , in the estimation of my assessors, is too fine in su c h noon to be haduebeen h as run. This precaution would have shown the c a pt a i n that he was not justified in assuming his p he too confidently concluded, and that instead of being, as he supposed, 16 miles to the southward of the Cape, he was in reality close upon the land. The neglect to u se t h e lead under such circumstances, and the navigation of his vessel at full speed off this coast in thick weather, undoubtedly caused this accident; and after the repeated warnings which commanders of vessels on the North American sta tions have received in reference to both these points, I am bound to visit him with severe censure. I confess across that it is painful t o me t o d o so i n t hi s, as in ever 3, other case, when the comman d er is a man of great experience ; and C a pt a i n St one appears to have hitherto navigated his s hip s i n sa f e ty f or 115 voyages the Atlantic. The result proves that such a m an even may get into difficulties with all his experience, and shows the necessity which is laid upon all commanders to use every precaution in their power. And why these pre cautions should be invariably used in the Royal Navy, and the neglect of them visited with most severe penalties, while in the merchant service they are so frequently omitted, I am at a loss to understand. In the sentence which the court has deemed it to be their painful duty to pass on Captain Stone, every consideration has been given to his long and hitherto successful career, and the court has borne in mind his subsequent and laudable ex ertions in bainging home safely his disabled ship. Thi s case differs from others of a recent date, in the fact that there has been no loss of life or of the ship, and I have therefore felt justified in passing a lighter sentei.ce. But I have, with the full concurrence of t h e nautical asses- :~~~~ ,' ~~%~' ~~°~~~ 4 „ I.

Hillyar, left Ath ens on the3ls t nit. for Corfu, Malta, and England. She arrived at Corfu on the morning of the 4th inst., and having em.. barked military invalids, women, and children, left under steam on the 6th. She arrived at Malta on the morning of the Bth, after a fine passage. The following is a list of the naval and military super numeraries, &c., on board—Eight seamen, pen sioned ; 12 ditto, dismissed the service as objection able characters ; one man under sentence of court martial; 25 naval invalids; 63 seamen for disposal in England; 3 ditto for Malta Hospital; 10 dis tressed British seamen, crew of the late British bark Star of the North ; 3 military officers, 93 sol diers, 14 women, and 23 children. The Star of the North, John Watson, master, 370 tons, belonging to Charles Alcock and Co., London, laden with Indian corn, from Kustendji for Cork or Falmouth, was wrecked on Oct. 13 last at Mandilli, during the night, the master having mistaken one light for another. The ship went topieces the following day. Her Majesty's ship Trident brought the crew to the Pirzens, and they are to proceed home in the Queen. There were at Corfu her Majesty's ship Liffey, 35, screw frigate, Capt. G. Parker, and the Firefly, surveying ship, Commander A. Mansell. The Wan derer, 4, gunvessel, Commander M. C. Seymour, and the Surprise gunvessel, Commander W. H. Whyte, were on the west coast of Greece. It was reported that the Liffey was about to be sent to the coast of Syria. Her Majesty's despatch vessel Psyche, 2, Lieut.-Commander It. Sterne, left Malta on the Bth inst. with despatches for the Commander in-Chief at the Pincus. The Queen is under orders to leave far England on Wednesday or Thursday to be paid off, On Sunday night a telegram from' the Prussian Government was received at Plymouth, ordering the immediate return to I)antsic of the Prussian ships of war, Niobe, 24, Captain Kuper ; Musquito, 12, Captain Hassensein ; and Rover, 10, Captain Warpfan. The Rover arrived in the Sound on the 21st Oct.; the two others on the 24th. The three ships were then bound to Madeira, the West Indies, and New York, for the exercise of their crews, among whom there are mare cadets, and would have left as usual in a few days but for the course of political events i;1 the North of Europe. They will probably leave the Sound at noon today. The Warrior, 40, iron frigate, Capt. Arthur A. Cochrane, C. 8., in the Warrior dock at Portsmouth, has, according to established custom, had her hull below the water-line and the compositions and ex perimental sheathings with which it is coated exa mined and reported upon to the Admiralty by the officials of the dockyard. It is four and a half months since the Warrior was in dock. She was then coated below the water-line with the preser vative and anti-fouling compositions prepared by the Admiralty's Chemical Assistant, and at the same time had three patches of " Brown's vitreous sheathing" attached to her port side. The ship's bottom, as she now lies in dock, has the appearance of a well-made thrummed-mat, being covered with a fine crop of tuft weed, which must haee grown at the rate of about three-quarters of an inch per month since the ship has been afloat to reach its present condition. The vitreous sheathing had less of this weed upon it than the compositions, and they have adhered to the ship's bottom with two exceptions. It is impossible, however, to say how far these small plates (which are about 12 or 14in. in length and about 4in. in width, and are attached to the ship's bottom by a hot cement) have pro tected the iron until they have been removed, and the surface has been laid bare and examined. The same remark will also apply to the composi tions, for there are signs of corrosion, over the lines of rivet heads at the ship's bows that require to be very closely looked into. On one occasion of the Black Prince being docked at Portsmouth it was discovered that not only had the anti -fouling composition attacked the lower edges of the tier of armour plates where they had been bevelled off with the cold chisel and file, and the fibre of the iron thus laid bare, but that the majority of the rivet heads throughout the bottom were also attacked in a similar manner. It may be, perhaps, a matter of a great moment whe ther a ship's lower tier of armour-plates is slowly eaten into by anti -fouling compositions and pitted with innumerable holes ; but it is a matter of serious moment when the rivets of a ship's bottom plates are being thus gradually and surely destroyed, that is, so far as their holding powers are concerned, and this is precisely what remains to be ascertained in the case of the Warrior. Nothing certain, however, can be stated on the subject until the compositions have been scraped off, and an opportunity thus afforded for a full examination of the ship's bottom plates and their fastenings. There are existing in dications of mischief to the rivet heads at the b ows of the ship to w arrant a careful scr aping and ex amination of every part of the ship's bottom from keel to water-line.

Many improvements have been made since the ship last lay in dock at Portsmouth, butthe posses sing the greatest novelty i s one the introduction of "ozone gas" into the en g i ne - room and screw alley. Two small copper reservoirs, holding about a quart imperial measure each, contain a supply of spirituous oil which fl ews by a pipe, after th e manner of a caged bird's water fountain, into a small copper encl ose d trayfilled with sponge. Through this a stream of atmospheric air is blown by a pipe from a pump (the latter set in motion by a weight and Pulley), which, passing out by a dischar ge pi ne at the opposite end of the tray, passes direct to the burners. There it gives out a beautiful white light, Au with comparatively no heat. apparatus for the supply of a dozen burners may be carried under the arm. It requires no gasome ter, and its use entails no danger to the ship. It emits no smell when burning, nor does the vapour i tself, when allowed to escape unbarnt from the nozzle of the burner. Its use entails no attention beyond th e w i n di ng - up , onc e in 24 hours, o• small weight which sets the machi ner y of ti.e t : the air pump in motion. Its cost is one-fourth that of the paymaster's candles served out for use from the stores of the ship. The Malacca, 17 guns, screw corvette, 200 horse power, Captain Gerard J.

Eyre, commanding the forces in the Chatham district, directing the infantry and other troops under hip command to commence the system of route march ing at stated intervals weekly during the winter months, the season for reviews and brigade field days being now at an end. The order applies to the Royal Artillery, Royal Engineers, the troops of the line, and the Royal Marines, who are to be marched out from the garrison on stated days in each week: The Major-General directs that these occasions of route marching are to be turned to practical use in the instruction of the officers and men in military manoeuvres when on the march. This will be effected by the officer in command throwing forward advance columns, and effecting other movements which the nature of the country t raver sed will permit. On these occasions the junior officers are to make flying sketches of thy district visited, and these, together with an accom panying report on the nature of the country with regard to military operations, are to be forwarded from time to time to the Major-General for extend his in spection from six to ten miles, at the discretion of the officer in command, and the bands will in all cases accom pany the troops.

The Portsmouth division of Royal Mari ne Li g h t Infantry was inspected yesterday forenoon by ~ Major-Gen. Lord Willi am Paulet, C.B ing the South-W es t ern district. The divisionommand was formed up in two battalions, drawn up in lin e i n th e large grass spa ce fronting the ba rrac k s , un d er the command of Colonel Ayles. At the conclusion of the inspection his Lordship expressed himself en tirely satisfied with the appearance and steadiness of the men under arms, and the precision with which the various movements were executed, and said that he should ward a most f with very great pleasure for avourable report of th e g eneral effi ciency of the division to the General Commanding in -Chief. valkilert; s Parson's breech-loading 6 pounder gun , satisfactorily proved a short time ago at 1::::11,vv butt in the Royal ieh,yesterdayu Arsenal,nderwet a final tri al at the in the presence of the Select Committee of Ordnance, by firing 100 rounds. The entire test occupied only 523- minutes, including a delay which took place at the sixth round. The 94 rounds fired from that time were completed in 42 minutes, or one round in 30 seconds. Although, from the rapid firing, the gun at its termination was so hot that the hand could not touch it, the breech action worked with perfect freedom, and maintained the breech quite gas tight. Mr. Parsons suggests the adaptation of his plan to guns of larger calibre, as by it the sphere which serves the place of the vent-piece can be made of any size and strength necessary, as it has not to be lifted out of its place in the operatiisonaisoof l oa ding.
