The Express packet was paid wages in advance on Friday. WooLwtcn, JAIL 7.—The Hermes, commissioned by Commander Fishbourne, is in an advanced state, and her armament is to be increased from 6to 9 guns. The following guns have, been received from the Royal Arsenal, and are now ready to be put on board : One 8-inch gun of 53 cwt., four 32 pounders of 26 cwt. each (iron), two 24-pounder brass guns of 12 cwt. each, one 9-pounder of 6 cwt., and one long brass gun of smaller calibre. The Niger steam-sloop had a great number of men working upon her until ten o'clock on Saturday night last, and a number of riggers and workmen are employed upon her to-eay. The whole of her armament has been rectiv(d from the Royal Arsenal. Iler former guns consi.ted of one 68 -pounder, of 95 cwt.; one 10 inch, of 85 cwt.; and six 8-inch, of 65 cwt. each. But these have been replaced by one 68-pounder, of 95 cwt. and 10 feet long, on pivot slides and carriages; one 8 inch gun, 9 feet 4 inches in length; and twelve 32-pounders, of 32 cwt. each and 6 feet long. She has also taken on board 130 10-inch, 130 S-inch, and 900 32 pounder &hot. The Niger only carries about 220 tons of coals, and during some of her recent trials was said to have consumed fifty tons per day ; and, therefore, it is not expected, as some imagine, that she will accom pany the Enterprise and Investigator as far as Ma deira. Her present orders are only to accompapy them to Devonport, where she is to be kept as an advanced war steamer. The Enterpriie, Captain Collinson, C. 8., and the Investigator, Commander M'Clure, were visited to-day by the Prussian Minister, Chevalier Bunsen, and party. The 1- arl of Mulgrave also went on board these vessels lying in the stream. They were also visited by Captain Sir George Back, R.N., and a number of naval officers and others. THE WEATHER AND THE PARKB.—The ther mometer of the Royal Humane Society's receiving• house, Hyde. park, was during Sunday night as low as 26 degrees, six belief freezing point, and early yester day morning it was as low as 2.5 degrees. The sharp ness of the frost during the night had the effect of giving to the ice a greater degree of solidity then it had pre viously attained during the present winter. Thousands therefore ventured upon the frozni waters in the various parks. Owing to the admirable arrangements of Mr. Superintet dent Williams in distributing the icemen' and apparatus over the Serpentine, not a single accident of any importance occurred there during the day. The barometer at lip:h.-park stood last evening at /9.94, and the wind, which had been during the early part'of the day in the north, veered to the northeast, a sign of the continuation of the frost. The body of the un fortunate man who perished on Sunday, in the Serpen tine, has since been identified as that of Thomas Dray ton, who was in the employ of Messrs. Chalton 41.4 Easton, tea dealers, Charing-cross. GAMEKEEPER SHOT.—On the afternoon of Satur• day, the sth inst.. about four o'clock, a labourer in the employ of Mr. Heath, farmer, was passing along the tram-road, leading from the coal pits belonging to Mr. Chambers, of Tib,helf, in the county of Derby, when, on reaching a field adjoining Newton -wood he observed a man lying on the ground; he wont up to the spot for the purpose of scertaining who it was, when he dis covered that the man was in the midst of a large pool of blood and quite dead. The labourer immediately procured assistance and removed the body, which turned out to be that of William Thorpe, gamekeeper to the Rev. F. Sharpe, of Tilashelf, to his house, where, on examination, it was found that he had been shot just above the right knee, the shot having torn the artery open and caused his death from loss of blood. It was soon afterwards ascertained that six men. who had the appearance of poachers, had been seen in the vicinity only a short time previous to Thorpo's body being found, and he also having been seen thereabouts after three o'clock the same af ternoon, it was suspected that they were the parties who had been the cause of the poor fellow's death. at Informa tion was immediately forwarded to the po li cen known, Mars field, Notts, and several of the p and and Page went in search oft Superintendent Picker and h p imoe o ti l tstn: i ru c n e s - tpia c n a es ::: : n io y ni s gd ta eTpet h h l ho e i ersf s g w: R hhso r ml d e fo se r ip d x. after great exertions succeeded The names of are u . n t n e o d w a s l in the Mansfield l o c k-up, the before prisoners,sv l four lum o'clockew !

Yesterday a General Court of Wardmote was held at the Guildhall, for the purpose of receiving the returns of the ward inquests. The Lord Mayor took the chair at twelve o'clock. There were b few aldermen present, but it is proper to state that Plough Monday is the day on which the mere routine businsss of receiving presentments and swearing in officers is transacted, so that a numerous attendance of the magistracy is not required for the performance of the duties. A Court of Aldermen had been ap pointed for one o'clock. in order to receive a commu nication from the Curt of Assistants of the Honour able Artillery Company, on the subject of what is considered in the City to be a contemplated invasion of the privileges of the .t body. The Ward Inquest of Aldgate Ward made a return to the effect that two, gentlemen who had been re turned to serve as Common Councilmen were in eligible by the new Corporation Act, which required that the names of candidates for the office should be put upon the list of - voters for Members .to serve in Parliament. The candidates alluded to are, it appears, qualified in every other respect, and have been for several years; members of the Court. The TOWN CLERK stated that the return and peti tion should be presented to the next Court of Alder men, and that those who were interested should ,be duly informed of tlae proceedings in the case. In the presentments of several of the wards returns were made of non.-freernen, and in some cases the foremen complained grievously of the obligation they were under by their oaths to interfere with such matters. The Foreman of the Aldgate Ward Inquest said that he and his brethren were exceedingly desirous to be released friom so painful- an obligation ; that they were constantly presenting non-freemen ; but no notice was taken of the fact, and that they considered the Court of Aldermen were treated with contumely in their persons. The Towx Craux said it was impossible to release the inquest from, the obligation under the existing state of the law. He, however, informed the various inquests that application had been made to the members of her Majesty's Government, suggesting a beneficial change, and that although no decision had been yet announced, a modification of the present practice would, it was hoped, take place. Mr. RICIIALTJ TAYLOR, foreman of the inquest of the district of St. Andrew'►, in Farringdon Without Ward, in presenting the return, called the attention of the Court of Wardmote to the large number of non freemen on the list, several of whom had declined to take the freedom, from their sense of the injustice of compelling retail dealers to incur the expense to which wholesale dealers were not subjected. There were 165 persons returned as non-freemen from the district which he represented, and the inquest com plained, not that steps had not been taken to compel wholesale dealers to become free, but that those to whom the charge was an object were obliged to sub mit to the penalty from which all others were exempted, and that the right of voting had thus become limited to the retail dealers. It was also a grievance to which he had been directed to call the attention of the Court, that the new Corporation Act aggravated the evils of which the citizens of London had so much reason to complain. (Here Mr. Taylor read a resolution to which Farringdon Ward had agreed at a recent meet ing held upon the subject of the vindication of their corporate rights.) Several of the Aldermen intimated to Mr. Taylor that he must be aware the subject could not be dis cussed in the Court of Wardmote, and assured him that due attention should be paid to it at the Court of Aldermen. The several returns, with the exception of two, which were not received in consequence of infor mality, were then ordered to be laid before the Court of Alderman, by whom they will be taken into con sideration on the next Court day. TUB ROYAL ARTILLERY COMPANY. The Lord Mayor 'was informed that a deputation of gentlemen from the Court of Assistants of the Honourable the Artillery Company were in waiting, and desirous to present a communication upon a matter of great importance as regarded their rights and privileges, in connexion with the rights and pri vileges of the Corporation of London. There was not a sufficient number of aldermen to constitute a court, but his Lordship, as the case was considered urgent informed the deputation that he would receive their communication, and introduce it formally at the nex court. The deputation, which consisted of the following gentlemen, Captain Parker, Captain England, Mr. J. Brittan, jun., Mr. Truman, Mr. Dupree, M r . Gi r d l er, and Mr. White, the secretary to the company, then entered the chamber.. The deputation said they were most anxious to appear before the Court of Aldermen, in order to receive the support of that body on the subject of the contemplated attack upon their privileges. The Court were aware of the change meditated by the Govern. ment in the constitution of a corps which had for a great number of years acted in a military capacity when called upon at periods of disturbance and peril, and had performed its duty to the satisfaction of the presiding authorities. It was hoped and believed that the Aldermen would not hesitate to come forward in vindication of rights which had been so clearly esta blished, and'' which involved those of the city of London, for which that body bad always most reso- Al lutely thateect i s theoi ne apprehensionG odrne c Government e n an t netn whichd wc e on d u p . e AsecNeinm ee dttoo expressedba be precipitatesurprise anticipated, upon such a question, end said he thought it very improbable that the S ecretary of State would act FARWRoBuRIOdTDR not Court t e o t f hertillery C ompany communicated with the Aldermen. Alderman saidbe a he believed partyto a thatsuddenSir George interference Grey with the privileges of the corps, and that who interests had were everything reaso na bl e was to be expected from a uniformly er ac tedw ithcourtesy t y o likely to be affected public measure. The deputation sa id the Secretary of State had not gentlemant those whose fixed any specific day for an answer, to their petition upon the question of their privileges, and they wished for the concurrence of the Court of Aldermen in their views for the preservation of their independence as soon as possible. Sir P. LAURIE said it was difficult to imagine how the Government could propose to interfere in the arrangements of a corps of gentlemen who were so efficient, and so ready at all times to assist in quelling tumults and insurrections. Several;Aldermen said they bad hot been given to understand that a petition had been sent in to the Government, and declared that the present was the first intimation they had received upon the subject. The deputation said they had sent in a petition fully detailing the particulars of the contemplated violation of their rights and privileges, and the nature and foundation of their claims, and they had addressed the petition to her Majesty. Alderman WlLsors said the Court of Aldermen had good reason to know the value of the services of the Artillery Company, as upon every occasion on which a riot or disturbance was expected in the city of London the first military body with which they came in contact was that company, and there had occurred no instance in which the thanks of the Government, as well as of the Corporation, had not been promptly and warmly rendered to that body.—(Hear.) The re cords of the Corporation testified in the most unques tionable manner to the correctness of that statement, and it was quite impossible that the Secretary of State could come, at all events, to a conclusion unfa vourable to the views of the petitioners, without communicating with the Court of Aldermen upon the merits of their application. Alderman FAREBROTHER said in his mayoralty, when some apprehension was entertained by the Go vernment for the safety of the City, Lord Melbourne sent to him a message to the effect that the Lord Mayor was expected to adopt means for the preser vation of the 'public peace in his jurisdiction, and upon that occasion the Artillery Company came forward with an alacrity which showed what reliance could be placed upon their exertions at all times of danger.—(Elear, hear.) The LORD MAYOR said he would feel much plea sure in presenting to the Court of Aldermen a docu ment containing the substance of the petition to her Majesty, and he felt satisfied that the Court would most promptly and unanimously join in the applica tion to the Queen.—(Hear, hear.) The deputation then expressed the gratification which they felt at their reception, and stated that they would draw up a document in concurrence with the suggestions of his Lordship. The following is the petition to the Queen, which is now is the hands of the Secretary of State : " That your petitioners beg leave humbly to ap proach your Majesty with the most profund venera tion, and the most lively sentiments of steady and respectful attachment to your Majesty's person and Government. That the Artillery Company of London, which is believed to have previously existed from a very remote period, was revived in the year 1610, as appears from ancient records in its pos session. " That it is composed of citizens of London, and others engaged in commercial and professional pur- , suits in the metropolis. " That after its arrival in 1612 it was organised as a military body by authority of an order of council of his late Majesty James the First, by which order, after reciting a petition of certain citizens of London (after example of other states, and the precedent of other citizens theretofore, exercising is arms), to be permitted to exercise in arms in the Artillery garden, by direction of such officers as they should mak,. hoice of. It is declared that their Lordships (the Lords of the Council) do see no inconvenience, hut that the said company of citizens might train and practice arms by instructions of Captain Edward Painter, or such others as should be thought fit, and might admit any other citizens into the company, and make choice of such officers as they should think fit, on approbation or allowance of the Lord Mayor of every such officer. " That frpm thence to the present time the com pany are under permission from the Crown, united with its civil privileges a military organization, of which the right to elect it s own officers has always een a pervading and fundamental principle: In modern times this permission has been conferred by warrants under the royal sign manual, and has been free frpm the veto given to the Lord Mayor by his order, of council already referred to. " That the only known exceptions to this elective principle have been some occasional instances of a direction from the reigning Sovereign of these king doms, that the company should not, at its then, meaning as usual, election, make any change in the officers previously elected ; and secondly, the modern reservations to the Crown of the appointment.. of the field officers and adjutant. " That your petitioners humbly conceive that this t privilege of election was founded in a just apprecia bion of, and was wisety adapted to the difference s etween a voluntary association of the classes of ociety composing this company and the regular troops, and that it has always been exercised with judgment and discretion, and in such manner as that it has in practice combined a sufficient independence in the officers, with an adequate amount of protection to the privates. . . " That to the harmony and mutual good under standing subsisting between all parts of the company, under this system, your petitioners conscientiously attribute the uninterrupted continuance of the com pany as a military body for so long a period, while numerous other volunteer bodies, not based upon similar principles, have in the interval risen, flourished for a short time, and become extinct. " That from its origin to the present time this company has always maintained itself in its military as wall as in its civil capacity at its own cost, and without any expense to the State, the members equipping themselves at their own individual cost, and providing by annual and other subscriptions for .all other exigencies of the company. " That in order to better secure its independence, and to provide a permanent fund for its occasions, a capital sum of about 10,0001. was, in the beginning of the present century, raised by the voluntary con tributions of members, and invested in the building of houses upon the estates of the company, which form the staple of its present revenue. " That for many years past the company has ex pended upon its military establishment an average amount of upwards of 2,0001. annually. That within the last ten years it has expended in the maintenance of its armoury-house, and in rendering it more defensible and commodious, additional sums of money, amounting to not less than 4,000/, whereof a large part has been laid out within the last two years under the cognizance, and partly according to the suggestions, of the Lieutenant-Colonel, the Hon. Henry Fitzroy. " That the whole of such expenditure has been incurred and provided for by the company, in the undoubting confidence that the military constitution given to them on their petition in 1612, and renewed to the present time, would be continued to them without interruption. " That in addition to the maintenance of its ordi nary establishment, the company, in 1798, when the exigencies of the public service required the pecuniary assistance of all loyal and well•disposed persons, raised by an extra-voluntary subscription amongst its members the sum of 1,0001. in aid of the Government. " That under such a constitution, and under elected officers, the company has always been ready, accord. ing to its opportunities, to do loyal service, and has on numerous occasions of civil commotion vigorously and effectively, in a spirit to be expected from a class deeply interested in upholding the institutions of the country, assisted the municipal authorities in rector ing and preserving order, and has frequently received the thanks of the Secretaries of State and the civic magistrates for the aid they rendered. That the members now belonging to the com pany joined it and incurred individually all original and annual expenses consequent on their so doing, upon the faith that they, like their predecessors, would continue to enjoy the right of electing the officers by whom they would be commanded. " That the understood permanence of that right received a national confirmation in the addition of two companies to the regiment in 1848, when the gentlemen composing those two companies stipulated, through the Lieutenant-Colonel, as a condition of their joining, that they should be allowed to form two separate companies, and to elect their own officers. " That your Majesty has lately been graciously pleased to issue your Majesty's royal warrant to thi► company, whereby thus its ancient right of electing its officers is annulled, and the appointment of com missioned officers is reserved to your Majesty, and other provision is made for the appointment of non commissioned officers. " That your petitioners are deeply and gratefully sensible that your Majesty intended this alteration as a mark of your Majesty's royal fa►our, and they know how great a reproach must attach to any apparent insensibility to such an act of your Majesty's royal condescension, but, believing, as they do, that to the peculiarity of its original constitution the long and successful continuance of the military organisation of this company has been owing ; feeling, as they do, that it is a loyal body, and believing that it is a useful one, and that the withdrawal of its ancient privilege (even though to substitute for it so high an honour as that graciously intended by your Majesty), will, by entirely altering its character, endanger, and probably ere long, destroy its existence, your petitioners would be failing in their duty if they did not represent this their humble conviction to your Majesty. " That your petitioners have been given to under stand that the objects of the change intended to be effected by your Majesty's royal warrant are twaold, the one being to secure to the officers a greater independence, by the abolition of the elective prin ciple, the other to insure increased military efficiency. " That although believing that the abolitio❑ of the right of election will tend to the subversion of the equality between officers and privates in their civil stations, and to the establishment of distinctions which have never hitherto prevailed, and which will operate prejudicially to the vitality of the company, your petitioners are nevertheless satisfied that a dif ferent adaptation of the elective principle might lead to military improvement of the company ; and while they express their conviction that such modification thereof as is next suggested, would have met, and will meet, with the ready acquiescence of the whole corps, they humbly submit to your Majesty that the objects of independence and efficiency would be perfectly obtained by the company's enacting la‘‘s for transferring the election of commissioned and non commissioned officers from the respective divisions in the company to the company at large; for subjecting officers to a preliminary examination; for requiring them to pass through all successive gradations of subordinate rank ; for reducing officers not passing examination ; for establishing a veto against the re-election of officers so reduced ; and for extending the term of election to two or three years, instead of one year, as at present. "That your petitioners are also convinced of the entire and cheerful readiness of the company, under such a modified constitution, to reconsider, with a view to render them generally acceptable, all laws of the company in which alterations may be thought expedient to the security of the two principalobjects of independence and efficiency lastly alluded to. " Your petitioners, therefore, humbly pray your Majesty that, these premises considered, your Majesty will be graciously pleased to restore to this company its ancient right of electing its commissioned and non-commissioned officers (except the field officers and adjutant), under such modifications as afore said, or such modifications as to your Majesty shall seem fit. " And your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray, Sze." PROTECTION MEETING AT H ADDINGTON.— On Friday a meeting of the East Lothian Agricultuaal Pro tection Society was held at the George Inn, Hadding ton, at which, according to the Scotsman, about 100 persons were present. The chair was filled by Sir Robert Houston, Bart. A number of resolutions in favour of a return to protection were agreed to. The meeting was then addressed at great length by Mr. W. B. Ferranti, late M.P. for Knareabovough, who at pre sent is residing in East Lothian. The prircipal topics of his speech attacks upon Mr. Cobden, Sir Robert Peel, and other free-traders. In conclusion, he chal lenged Mr. Cobden to come down to that county and meet him at a public meeting, and there discuss the puma= of protection. THE PASSPORT SYSTEM. A few weeks ago we had the satisfaction of in forming the public upon unimpeachable authority that the French Government had conclusively deter mined upon abandoning the system of passports, and that, as far at least as English voyagers were con cerned, the abolition of so detestable an impost upon the time and pati ence o f travellers might be considered un fait accompli. We cannot, of course, doubt the sincerity of the pledge by which this easy and de sirable reform was stipulated, but we are compelled to state that instances have coma to our kndwledge which show very plainly that the good intentions of the President and his Cabinet are as yet made of no practical account whatever. Relying willingly upon PO welcome an announcement, travellers have recently omitted the provisions' formerly customary, when, to their surp r i se an d annoyance, they have found themselves subjected to the same inquisition and detention as before, and compelled to, procure, under conditions more vexatious than ever, one of those ridiculous certificates by which nothing what ever is certified but the extortion through which it was 'obtained. Could we assume these occurrences as fair exam ples of the system in future to prevail, they would evince nothing less than a breach of political good faith. • As nothing could be clearer upon this point than the true policy of the French Government. so nothing could be plainer than its professions. The system of passports was to be reconsidered with a view to its abolition, and by way of inaugurating this most simple of reforms the road from London. to Paris was to be boldly thrown open at once, that all parties might see how little was lost and how much was gained. The effects of the change were visible even at its first notification. The removal of these obsolete barriers gave an immediate impulse to traffic. The intercourse between the two great capitals of the world was acce l erate d to a degree which even twelve months ago would have been thought incredible, and the triumph of common sense was symbolized by the actual accomplishment of a journey which will bear comparison with any feat of locomotion upon record. In furtherance of the good work a thorough revision was instituted of the traffic and tolls of the line which had thus become a :clear and continuous highway between London bridge and Notre Dame, and the terms decided upon were so remarkable, and so well calculated t o p romo t e the commercial and social advantages of both nations, that we willingly gave them all the encouragement which publicity could afford. Under such circum stances as these, the retention or renewal of the ex ploded system could only be warranted by the dis covery either in politics or finance of some notable reason for a change of opinion —an event almost beyond the bounds of possibility. For what is the system of passports ? It is a system in which every single assumption is contra dicted by daily practice. A passport pretends to certify that the bearer thereof has undergone a personal examination by the officer whose signature is attached, and who thereby testifies to his Govern ment that the traveller, of whose appearance and address an elaborate description is added, is proceed ing on a lawful errand, and deserves the aid and comfort of all authorities under whose jurisdiction be may come. Such a custom as this, even if thoroughly and effectually carried out, can only presume a con dition of things equivalent to a perpetual state of war, or, if the illustration be more acceptable, a perma nent state of siege. But under such circumstances as actually characterise its operation it is a monstrous farce, effective for no good, and instrumental solely in sharpening and pointing those extortions to which travellers, even under the best of regulations, must always be partially liable. - The officer who gives the passport neither sees nor communicates with the person requiring it, nor does he, directly or indi rectly, acquire any information respecting the traveller's actual business. The whole transaction, with all its multitudinous appendages, may be managed by the intervention of any slipshod waiter or porter, whose agency may be readily purchased for tenpence, and who procures the desired indul gence duly signed and sealed, but with as little knowledge or care on the part of those whe delivered it as the Pope of Rome had of the souls which he released for a similar consideration. Nor can it be said that though small fishes thus slip through the meshes of the law, great ones are secured. It nobody ever travelled from one town of France to another i❑ spite of the police, there would he something to be said for a system which at least kept a curb upon the guilty-minded, though at the daily co=t of the innocent. But we know well that the 'cry reverse is the case, and that even whe❑ the wits of officials have been expressly sharpened the instrutnentality): the passport system has utterly failed in tracking or detecting the most conspicuous fugitives. The Duchess de Berri went whithersoever she pleased, and after traversing the whole south and west of France, wasonly discovered by the treachery of a servant. '1 he Pretender to the Crown of Spain threaded his way through every bureau and barrier between Paris and Bayonne; and we should fearlessly ask the President of the French Republic, whether in his own adventurous escape from Ilam the question of a passport ever gave him the smallest apprehension or trouble. Nor are these facilities confined to single travellers ; they are equally at the disposal of whole bodies of men. During the recent political troubles sworn bands of destructives transferred themselves from one scene of mischief to another, across any frontier, and through any town, with as much ease as they could have walked from the Tuileries to the Triumphal arch. In fact, the papers of these gentry are always most scrupulously en regle, and if the passport system does indeed contain anyone method of detecting a troublesome subject, it must apply to those cases where its exactions have been most literally complied with. We appeal to the candour of the officials themselves to state whether any person de tained for want of proper papers ever proved to be more thin an unhappy Englishman who hal fallen a victim either to his obstinacy or to his ignorance. These are slight troubles, it will be said, and so perhaps they are, but they are exactly of a kind to produce a serious effect. No persons know better tha❑ the present Ministers of the Republic how small a prohibitory duty will damage a productive corn merce. A passport is a tax in its very worst form. It is levied with the maximum of annoyance, and the minimum of profit. The whole French people are sufferers by the mischief it works, whereas no cog nisable class is a gainer by the produce it yields. We ould not be misunderstood in this matter. We do not pretend to any superiority over our neighbours on the contrary, we frankly admit that if an English man in Paris has but his wits about him he gets more than he gives. Still, the presence and sojourn of so many of our countrymen in the French capital is a fair element of its legitimate trade. We fill its hotels, we patronise its spectacles, we purchase its trinkets, we drink its wines, and we encourage its cafes. For a moment, indeed, during the fer ment of revolutionary projects, it seemed as if the preservation of the, tutelary art of Paris was com mitted to Englishmen alone. We are not left to descant on our own merits, for all parties have con curred in acknowledging our services, and it has been the desire of all in turn to retain in the capital so conspicuous a symbol of internal order and pledge of civic prosperity. Nothing can tend so surely to the accomplishment of this end as the abolition of the absurd system on which we have been remarking, and the prompt termination of the present state of suspense and ambiguity is rendered still more impera tive by the natural deportment of officials under such provocative circumstances. They are in their week of grace. They know that their occupation is gone, and they derive a malicious gratification from prac tising their trade as sharply as possible on the few occasions which remain. These unexpected oppor tunities may be very conducive to their consolation, but they are not calculated to promote the intercourse between France and England, from which both coun tries will gain so much. Which is the more valuable of the two objects the French Government can decide for itself.—Times. DEATH OF LIEUT.-GENERAL NICOL, C.B.—On Sunday, the 6th instant, this general officer died at Clifton, near Bristol. His commissions in the army as ensign. lieutenant, and captain were all dated in the year 1795. Having joined the army in the Peninsula, he became a lieutenant-colonel in 1811, and in 1813 commanded the 66th Regiment at the battles of Vittoria, the Pyrenees, Nivelle, and Nive. For his services on the last occasion he received the gold medal, and the silver one was also conferred upon him for the battles of Vittoria, the Pyrenees, and Nivelle. Afterwards Lieut.- Colonel Nicol proceeded to ludia, and in the Nepaul war of 1814, 181.5, and 1816, he commanded a division of the army under Sir David Otcherlony's command. In 1831 Colonel Nicol was nominated a Companion of the Bath, and in 1846, having at ! ained the rank of a lieu t te a n t a st n ih lte igiepngeirmael,nte w rr a h s i a s p i p u o c i r n a t t e iv d e apptoothinetmcoelnot is ag ain nelcyof the 6 digposal of the Horse Guards, as will as the 6Wont:ley of the SOth Foot.
