'r **. 4.21 M A 1•3 tyl 211. aq AND CO M ITERCJAL TNTELLIGENCE, CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Liverpcol Cotton Market yesterday mani fested a very heavy appearance, but prices were without change. The sales were estimated at 5,000 b alea• The Railway Share Market c'osed dull, and ' , allies were maint lined. The numerous failures on the Continent, and the Monetary restrictions still in force, are making great havoc among foreign houses established in this country. In Hamburg 20 failures are repotted to have taken place in one day, and these must in- Nye the connections of those firms in London and el sewhere. Yesterday two more suspensions were a nnounced, viz., of Messrs. Mendes da Costa and 00 ., for about 350,0001; and of Messrs. Kieser and 00 . for about 50,0001. Others are daily expected, and before the end of the year a great deal of coin- I nertial distress is likely to ensu'. Still, it is satis factory to notice that the difficulties of English n jrns are not causing so many disasters as might gave been expected. Money is in active demand both in Lombard street and at the Bank, the preparations for the 4th (t o - morrow) being on a large scale. These payments Will temporarily have the effect of locking up a n immense sum of money, but upon its libera tion in a few days, the market will perhaps eecorne a trifle easier. The full rate of 10 per cent. is exacted in all cases, and the con unnance of failures prevents any marked improve !lent in credit. Foreign paper, and the bills of foreign firms here, are, in most instances, looked upon with some suspicion, and the embarrassments of these houses are consequently increased. But taking the general trade of the country, there are s ome indications of amendment, although up to th e present moment, no revival of business worth mentioning is apparent. Gold continues to be purchased by the Bank in Moderate quantities, 25,0001. having been sent into its vaults yesterday. The remittance by the Orinoco is about 300,0001., and the chief portion being in silver, it will probably cause a little flat ness in the market for that metal. The following are the particulars of the ship 11lents of specie by the Indus : Bombay (gold) £2 500 Bombay (silver) Ceylon (gold) 750 Madras (cold) Madras (silver) 6,350 Calcutta (silver) Penang (Ailver) Singapore (silver) ....

The pub lic of the northern towns appear to be prepared to wait until this meeting is held, when a fell disclosure of the Sfft;r4 of the haul( is anticipaVel. Messrs. Lambton and 'co., of Newcastle, opened a branch hank at Sunderland On Monday. Trade is extmenely dull, but the reaction consequent upon the stnppage of the " District " is less violent than might have been expected.

The New York Tribune publishes the following communication from its•special correspondent with the Utah expedition. He dates his letter from Bray in Salt Lake Camp, 200 miles from F or t L aram ie, Oct. 30 : "During Captain V an Vli et ' s City last month be ove r h ear d b u t one remark which induced him to believe that the declarations by the Mormons of an intention to resist the tro Ip3 were not earnest. That was an observation by Brigham Young, to the effect that his intention was un altered 'unless he should get another revelation to the contrary, which he was sure he should not.' _ , " The result has certainly justified the Prophet's confidence. No such revelation had been received by him up to October 5, on which date acts were committed under his direction which cannot fail to end in bloodshed. On that day the two regi ments of infantry and the artillery and ordnance batteries were encamped on Ham's Fork, which branches from Black Fork, which is a fork of Green River. The two nearest supply trains were but a few miles distant from Green River, on the east bank, and ab o ut 30 miles from Colonel Alexander's camp. The next on the road had advanced about 20 miles west from Pacific Springs, which rise at a short distance beyond the South Pass. About 11 o'clock at night three trains were surprised and seized by parties of Mormons, their contents exa mined, and what was worth pillaging was stolen and the remainde r d es t roye d b y fire. Each train consisted of 26 waggons, and belonged to the num ber sent out by Messrs. Russell and Waddell, of Leavenworth City, contractors for the transporta tion of stores to the army and for the supply of be 3f cattle. The teamsters made no resistance, and were unharmed. These Mormon bands are understood to be under the command, of Bill' Hickman, although it is rumoured that Heber C. Kimball attends them. They are all well mounted and armed, each man being provided with a Californian horse, and with a rifle, and from one to three revolvers. Hickman is supposed to have directed the proceedings near Pa cific Springs, while a man named Locksmith com manded near Green River. " 'mined iately upon the receipt of the news of this attack Col. Alexander sent Capt. Marcy, of the sth Infantry, with five companies, back to Green River. Ho arrived, however, only in time to take charge of the cattle of the trains which the Mormons had left, with the polite request that the troops would fatten them over winter, when they would be in good con dition for Mormon eating in the spring. Another of their - jeux d'esprit was a remark to the teamsters that they • had only burnt the waggons this time, but would be likely to burn the waggoners the next.' Col. Alexander also sent despatches to Brevet.-Col. Smith, from whose camp I am writing, and Captain Marcy sent by another messenger a circular letter to the trains on the road, advising them, for the sake of safety, to place themselves under Colonel Smith's protection. Both express men were intercepted by the Mcrmons, but, as nothing suspicious was found on their persons, and it did not appear on .what errand they were bound, they were released. The one from Col. Alexander, perceiving that it was im possib'e to avoid arrest, destroyed the dispatches to Col. Smith, according to h's instructions, and we aro ignorant of their contents. The other-brought Capt. Marcy's circular safely through in the toe of his mocassin. " We know; however, in the absence of the offi cial despatches, that Capt. Marcy has rejoined Col. Alexander, and that the entire force has moved to the north along Bear River towards Soda Springs, where it will probably await the arrival of the re maining supply trains, the sutlers' trains of the sth and 10th Infantry, and of Col. S pith's battalion. The reasons for this movement do not appear by a glance at the map t o a pat son unacquainted minutely with the conformation of the country and the cha veter of the climate. Ttie direct road to Silt Lake City, passing Fort Bridger, Medicine Butte, and the Nceil: s, which Col. Alexander has abandoned, is possibly by this tine impassable to waggons or artillery on account of the weather. The season, which has b en uncommonly favourable up to the beginning of oAober, Las resumed its natural severity. Ice has formed in our buckets every morning bat ono since we left Fort Laramie. The northern slopes of the mouutains.are completely whitened with a covering which will not molt 6111858, and even t►he southern slopes are powdered scantily with snow, of which there was a fall on Saturday night that'ehilled our road on Sunday and Monday, and has muddied it to-day. The Mormons have probably burnt the grass along that entire route, and obstructed the defiles in which it abounds in such a manner that only artillery could clear them. But if the army c mcontrates at Soda Springs it will have before it a road along a valley, open, it is said, even at midwinter, direct to Salt Lake City. I know of no chart which exhibits all the lines of road on which these movements will b 3 made ; and, indeed, I am unable to gather from our guides such informa tion as to tra"e them accurately on Captain St Ins : bury's map, which is the largest chart of his country that I possess ; bat I believe them t.) be sub s' anti illy these :—The direct route from California to the Suites crosses the Wabsatch Mountlins far to the north of the Salt L'tko City, and continues almost due east to its junction with the main road to that city, which passes Fott Bridger, and then- runs on through the Soutli Pass diviling,, however, n.ar Ham's Fork into three branches, which cross the Green River and unite beyond the Big Sandy. From one or the other of these branehei a road leads up into Oregon towards Fort Hall,. passing Soda Springs, from which there is a cut oft into a road direct from Fort Hall to Salt Lake City. It is over these latter roads and the cut-off that be double ration posts' . excited the utmost indig nation. Supposingit meant that all the garrisons as well as the commanding officers, were to draw double rations, laughable aS it may appear, it is a fact that they elieved that the extra ration was to be furnished to each soldier to enable him to marry and support a wife, of course, he would reduce from among them. Captain Van Vliet found this illu sion universally prevalent. " In consideration of the journey of Dr. Bern hisel to Washington, while affairs are in such a con dition among his constituency, I feel bound to send you the following information concerning the mode of his election, for the accuracy of which I do nit . vouch—for it is not of my. personal knowledge— but for which I send you privately my authority. It has been stated to me that on the Sunday before the day fixed by law for the election, Brigham Young rose in the Bowery, where an audience of several thousands was collected, and spoke substan tially to this effect : Brethren, to-morrow, you know, is the day to vote for delegate to Congress, so the law says. But I don't see why to day isn't just as holy, and why we shouldn't take a vote to-day. Brother Beruhisel, brethren, has done well enough in Con, gross, though nobo ly's of much use there, and if it's worth while to send anybody to Washington I guess we might as well send him back ; if he can't do us any good, he won't do us any harm. So all you that are in favour of sending Brother Bernhisel back will please rise.' " Accordingly the whole audience rose. The next day at the election but few votes were cast and those alt for Dr. Bernhisel, it being felt to be use less to oppose him, although he is said to be very unpopular in Salt Lake CitY. If Ido Dr. Bern hisei any wrong by this narration, I am sure you will be willing to correct anything which he shall prove to be inaccurate. " As another item which I have neglected to in sert in its proper connexion, it is reported that the Mormons have taken prisoners two men belonging to Dr. Magraw's party, who were sent on business towards Salt Lake City." Col. Alexander's march will be directed. toldlem they had 'TtitleMormonswho intercepted the expre ss men Devil's Gate, through which the a force of 700 men scattered is a dismantled Mormon along through a s s w f e a e r tw e a as .e t r as flo t w h s e , some of the logs o exceed about 200 miles from the t : a t trains fwh. or h t te L wa Laramie, a w m a r ie m , e a a n a d ot n ua e rfi a f r reee w tf l r ) no i which station, iffiaichuelet the to which burnt a week ago. But of the must be a gross exaggera tion. Neither strength could cde itv h hle a so v o e in gained i 1 n in the b°r' rear an d of it ever since the army unobserved. It is a fact, however, that they have been assiduous in collecting information concerning the topography of the country, and many of their leaders P ,or.e understand it as thoroughly as the most exf ploymeat of a great mountain guide. The sin rart of their young men i n herding cattle t 'h is made them acquainted with every little wrearn to the sa'ldle.

" This rising -- of a 1.11 news of the actual the Mormis more in arms cannot su r p rise you uret than it does those on the scene of action. The Presence Bern hisel with Captan Van Vliet on his Of Dr. journey to the States seemed of itself an offset to all the threaten-, ing messages of which the latter was the bearer. It seemed incredible that the Mormons should have theassurauce to send a delegate to Washington to uphold them in Congress, when . they were iu = hi - ll armed rebelli on. That t hey have ,ave been excited to a forcible out break only by grossest the misre presentations I cannot doubt. As an instance of these, I may specify one whi c h • 18 by no means the most absurd. When the general orders from the head-quarters of the army for Utah for the estab -I:shment of three new posts in the territory reached Salt Lake City, the circumstonce that they were to THE INDIAN MUTINIES. Wo have b en favoured with the following gra phic account of a public execution in India : " Ahmedabad, Oct. 26. "I have just returned from the calm eye-witnessing of a sight of which not many months ago it would have sickened me even to hear. I shall never see such ano ther, nor you over see such an one at all ; and, as all scenes have their profit, I will fix it while the details are fresh. "You know, generally, what I am going to describe. It is the result of more than a week's continuous ceurt martial, in which 18 men were sentenced to death. They suffered this morning. "I rode down at 5, and day dawned as I cantered along. I know nothing so sad as that slow drawing on of the sunrise which is to be the signal for an execution. There were many groups of natives moving towards the parade ground, which is four miles from the city, and every now and then a carriage with the lamps still lit. " When I reached the eround the bugles were only sounding, and there was little to be seen but the gallows with 10 nooses, and the miserable prisoners seated in a double row in front of it. I rode slowly past them, and could see no signs of emotion, Except that one or two were very pale. "The regiment in which the mutiny occurred was the first to take up its ground, opposite to the gallows. The other native regiment drew up at right-ant; os to it, and the English regiments, behind the gallows, corn pl.ted the third side of a square. Between them were four gnos. At the fourth side were drawn up five guns, pointing outward, across the flat level. To these the sentenced men were to be bound. The area of the square was now covered with mounted officers, a Lev civilians, the General, end his staff. "The whole 13 prisoners wire marched before the native regiments, and their Telco and sentence read in a clear voice, which reached all spectators. This over, the last terrible preparations were commenced. ' The 10 mounted to their places en the drop, and stood there white and shadowy ag iinst the pale sky, hut firm and quiet, their faces hidden in white caps. .l firing party of 12 moved up the spot within 20 yards of the place where I stood, facing outward, as the guns did, but behind them, further back into the square. The three men who were to be shot were placed iu front, and fearfully near them, not more than 12 p.ces Irvin the muzzles of the inu,ketr. They knelt down, their eyes were bandaged, and their bands tied. Meanwbile the doomed five had been marched to the five fatal gun'. Trey were bound by the arms to the wheels, but their legs were free, and the end man—the only one whom I could entirely see from my place on the fank—leaned his back against the muzzle, as loungers lean against a mantelpiece. " I fixed my eyes intently on that man, not 50 yards away, and in a moment the signal was given. Teem was a roar, and the whizzing of a bullet, far away from the firing party ; a bank of white smoke, and a jst and shower of black fragments, sharp and clear, which leaped and bounded in the air ; this and a fearful sound from the spectator, and the reality so far exceeded all pre vior s fancy that it was intolerable ; then a dead stibiess. "I walked straight to the scattered and smoking flier before the guns. I came first to an arm, torn off above the elbow, the fist c!iuched, the bone projecting several inches, bare. Then the ground sown with red grisly fragments, then a black-haired head and the other - arm still held together. This was the man I had watctled ; close by lay the I)wer half of the body of the next, torn quite in tso, and long coils of entrails twined on the ground. Then a long cloth in which one had been dressed rolled open like a floor-cloth and on fire. o.:e man lay in a complete and shattered heap, a'l but the assns; the legs were straddled wide apart, and the smashed body on the middle of them ; the spine exposed ; the head lay close by too. Tae last body was that of a native officer, who was the arch fiend of the mutiny ; he was a short man, with a cruel face. His head bad been cut cl an off, but the muscles of the neck had contracted roued the throat like a frill. his face was htlf upturned and can, the eyes abut. I saw no expression of pain on any of them. What had been his body lay on its face, the legs as usual not shattered, but all the flesh torn like cloth from a sharp a , fee in the hollow of the back, off and off, till it merged in one mangled heap. " I turned next to the three who had been shot. One bad been struck in the heart, and only bowed over on his face. The others had been pistolled af.ets wards through the head. All 'I think, however, had been badly hit, as all were prostrate when I ran fur ward to the guns. " And only now—there was so much more tcrrible— did I look up to the ten white figures slowly swinging and revolving over this scene of blood. I hope they died quickly, but the ropes were very short. " The troops immediately matched off, and I rode home at speed, and when I dismounted the dogs came and licked my feet." THE CAPTURE OF THE RAJAH OF ASSAM. The following letter describe') the manner in which Captain Lowther captured the Rajth of Assam, thereby avoiding the massacre of Europeans in that country : " September. " You will have heard era now of the capture of the Rajeh .f Assam, which your humble servant effected as follows The colonel sent me in hotbaste with my Ghoorkas, and early the next morning we dropped down in boats towards Debrooga, reaching that station the second day, about the same time the colonel tending to ask the other outposts for the G-hoorkas and hill men, sending Hindostanees to relieve them ail, and thus give us a small trustworthy body of troops in case of extremities and disa , ters. " My plan was to take away the bulk of the artillery pieces from the native company of local gunners, with ammunition, &e., many cf these men (Elindostanees) having been heard to talk seditiously in the bazaars ; next, to secure our own regimental magazine, are! manage, in case of an enzeute, that our men (Rifler) should be in safe poseepeion of all access to it ; next, to shut up all the treasure and private property in the fortified square in the civil station, planking a picked guard over it ; next, to seize the King, who was at the bottom of the plot, eurprisiog him suddenly, and taking all his treasure and pipers, and sending him away a State prisoner to wards. Calcutta ; next, to have a body of picked men so as to act at instant notice. "In communication with the Political at SeAsaugor (vide map) I engaged to meet bim on the night of the 9 h at a particular month of the river below, he leaving on the night of the Bth, by boats, dropping down the stream, the distance of 40 miles. At length I and my riflemen rounded a nook, and were glad to find the Political, with a few armed police, all ready to meet ns, my large boat taking them and canoes with the police in tow, and by the bright moonlight we dropped down softly and pleasantly to Novvghur Gbaut, a distance of 16 miles, reaching it about 11 p.m. We had some trouble in keeping clear and hiding ourselves from the observation of the large fishing villsges we had to pass, but our good fortune took us past unnoticed, and we landol unseen in the tall grabs juggle, on the brink of a morass, such as ()idly Assam contains, mosquitoes almost darken ing the moonlight ; not a word allowed to be spoken, and scents sent out to search the jungle fur the elephants sent cut previously for transport of , men over the impassable tracts ; soon found these, commenced our march ; the moon became obscured and a storm of wind and rain set in ; all around tie a swamp, which obliged us to load the elephants very lightly, and deposit our selves occasionally on dry spots and high patches, while the elephants went to and fro to lilt the men across the qiia,e,nairee and waters. Twice my large elephant sank down, so as to wet hi+ ears and my feet together, and each stop was attended by the most noxious effluvia, arising from the decomposed vegetable matter at that season, while myriads of ' inusquitees swarmed around us. On an island we met the native oilier of police, our principal informer of the plot, who had been sent but as if on his duties, looking after our postal arrangements of the province. We held a council, and then all moved on quietly again. For tunately, we had now only a mile or two of that horrible march, or man and beast must have knocked up, the wind and rain increasing. " We soon fortunately came on to a raised causeway, in pretty good repair, dry and smooth, and 1 rested my men for awhile What with broken bri,!ges and other impediments to night travelling we did not reach the Royal town till half-an-hour before daybreak, the sky delightfully black, and the rain a very waterspout, both of which had the beneficial effect of quieting the noisy ears which infest the purlieus of every Indian locality. A final consultation was hold in sight of the Royal den, arms examined and loaded, and every preparation made for the finishing blow ; the stout little Ghoorkas grin ning with delight as they examined the sheaths of their hookeries, or war knives, to see whether they were within We passed unnotic e d a l ong a s t ragg li ng su b ur b, an d I suddenly turning a corner I was told by my guide that I stood within the Royal premises. "I told off my men rapidly, and formed them into parties, so as completely to surround and cover every outlet and corner. The main party, consisting mostly of my own particular sharpshooters and bodygu rd, watched the front ; another towards th e t own , there to arrest an educated Bengalee, agent to the conspirators ; another party moved to the rear and cut off escape to wards the town ; while ray friend the Political crept quietly past some outhouses with his police, and under the palace walls awaited my signal for opening the ball. " Before lone the ominous barking of a disturbed cur in the direction of the party sent after the Prime Minim. ter proclaimed no time was to be lost, and off I went towards the gnarl shed in fruit of the palace, my per sonal sharpshooters following at the double. The noise of course awoke the sleeping guard, and as they started up from their slumbers I caught one firmly by the throat ; the lade Ghoorka next me felled with a butt end blow another of them while they were getting to arms, I having strictly forbidden my men to fire until obliged ; the remainder, as we rushed in, took to flight, and my eager party wished to fire on them, which I prevented, not considering such valiant game worth pow der and shot. In the darkness and confusion no means of entrance could at once be found. My police guide, how ever, having been often in the palace, knew every room in it, and, thrusting himself in at the door, acted ferret to perfection, and by dint of activity soon brought me into the presence of the King, who, though young in years, is old in sin ; he refused to surrender or admit any one,—a resolution which cooled instanter on my calling my men to set fire to the palace, and he then with a bad grace delivered up to me his state sword. A shout from the opposite doors proclaimed an entry there. The Queen Mother and the rest of the ferea'e Royalty and attendants were se3zsd while trying to descend on that side. Then came a chorus of shouting and strug gling, and bawling for lights and assistance ; at last, a lamp being procured, we preeeeded to examine the palace; we wandered in dark pAssages and cells, while I mounted a guard at every door. The air being con fined and heated within the Royal residence, I sat out side until after daybreak, and th-n proceeded to rum mage for papers andlet - ers ; several boxes of these we appropriated, and counted out his treasure, all in gold vessels and ingots ; we found a quantity of arms, spiked some guns, one of them of Freuch make; all day we were hard at work, searching sad translating papers. The Prime Minister was found at his house, fast asleep. In the heat of the afternoon we went to his residence in the town, and by dint of keeping fans going over us carried out a thorough search. We did not get as many of his papers as we wanted, he having been told by his correspondents to destroy all letters after reading them. "At sunset I carried off my prisoners over the Fame bad ground by which we bad 'so stealthily arrived. We were fulbwed by about 2,000 infuriated MussulTans, crying, praying, and prostrating themselves to the object of their lingering hope of rebellion (the Rajah), but we drove them off. "A. mile or two out an indivilnal suddenly appeared, and in a loud and powerful voice chanted either a me nace to us or a warning to the King. I could only catch one word, Ns filch signified down country ; hence I suspect he was conveying advice to the captive, whom I kept well alongside of me, with au intimation I would blow his head off if he attempted any tricks or created any disturbance. We arrived at 10 p.m. at the gbaut whence we started on the previous night, weary and hun gry with a vengeance. I put my prisoner on board my large boat, alongside of my bed, and next morning started him off under a choice guard, with loaded arms, towards Calcutta with written instructions. Everybody in Assam was in a fever of at x ety and excitement until the news arrived that I had captured the leader of the conspiracy, end the dark and stormy night on which I carried out the measure caused many sleepless nights to the expectant party of vied- rriabers. We aro not yet rid of traitors ; two or three of our native officers are deeply implicated, as alto a native doctor and a number of Sepoys in both the Artillery Compsny and my Rifles ; they are well watched and waited upon by the Ghoorkas, who have proved themselves faithful to us everywhere, and are eager to distinguish tiiem selves. Three 'Jays hence, we find by the papers dis covered, was the appointed time for the outbreak, and of course the massacre of ad the Eurepzans in Assam ; but I fully expect that my counterplot has proved far too heavy a blow to their abominable schemes ; disap pointment and di•gu ,, t are written legibly on their hideous faces at my sudden swoop on their machinations. I cannot cease to thank God I have averted so much bhodehed." THE RELIEF OF LUOKNOW. (From The Waverley) Where is the arch of splendour, Where is the minstrel hand, Shall fitting honour render To Havelock and his•band ? Nay, they need no such glory, They need no triumph arch ; Their fame lives in their story— Lives in their desperate march. The ancient Bri,ish spirit Still keeps its lofty place; Onr warriors inherit The Talour of their race. Climate and toil may tiro, And sickness do its part, But cannot quench the fire Of a true British heart. On, on they pressn together, The tropic sun o'erhead, As if their Scottish heather Were %math their martial tread. None needed to remind them Their labours were not o'er ; Nine victories behind them, Yet focmcu still before. And what though thrice outnumbered, Though every step a grave, Their spirit never slumbered, Urged by the hope to save,. Arid to each brave defender Let us give honour due ; Worthy the aid they render, These gallant hearts and true. But yet a grateful nation Its debt of tears shall pay, And thoughts of lamentation Must mar cur joy to-day. Remember, 'midst our mourning, They fell as heroes fall ; Duty their beacon burning, . While Glory wove their pall. Nor in the hour of triumph Leave we their names untold, The martyrs' noble army Has gathered to its fold. For coming generations Shall toll of what has been, And tears of many nations Shall keep their memories green. Their due award then giving, . Crown each devoted head With laurel for'th..) living, And amaranth for the dead. And Britain, 'midst her weeping For those that come no more, Joys that her sons are keeping The place she won of yore. And, half in consolation For all hor noble ones, She calls on every nation To groct her warrior Sons. Some praises may be louder— Some chaplets be more gay; But few wear laurels prouder Than Britain gives to-day. THE TV.eSTERN BANK OF SCOTLAND. GLASGOW, DEC. 2. The meeting of the shareholders of the Western Bank was held to-day—Mr. James Dunlop, the senior director, in the chair. About 400 were present from all parts of the country. It was resolved to register the company under the Joint-Stock Banking Companies Act of 1857. The CR/unmet/ said that the best endeavours of the directors kad been thwarted by the late manager, who disregarded their express instructions and gave great advances to unworthy persons. The directors in their report said their chances of resuming business were lessened by the provincial agents going over to the Edin burgh banks. The agents who had already seceded re present 2,000,000 of deposits, and agents representing 1,000,000 more were in the act of seceding. Thu Interim MANAGER read a financial statement, showing that on the 9th of Nov. last the assets were 10,627,8241. ; the liabilities were 8,911,2321., leaving an apparent surplus of 1,715;892/, Up to that time the known and undoubted losses were 800,0001. It would depend upon the course to he taken in the realising and tl►e commercial Etate of the couatry to determine what additional losses might accrue. A corninittee of shareholders was appointed to go over the books along with the directors, and report to an adjourned meeting on the 17;11 of December. A proposal was made to resuscitate the bank, but it could not, in the meantime, be entertained.

A Court Martial was last week held at Ports mouth, which painfully recalls to recollection the very worst periods of our naval service. The facts of the case are, as usual. on such occasions, some what imperfectly reported, but enough appears to show that a great and scandalous wrong has been done, which ought not to be permitted to r. st where the Admiralty has left it, in the simple pziva'e re primand of the offender. Ti e prisoner was Mr. Hugo Beaumont Burnaby, First Lieutenant of her Majesty's ship June, which has recently returned from the Pacific and Aus tralia, and the prosecutor was Captain S. C. Fre mantle, his commanding officer. The charges on which Lieutenant Burnaby was brought by Cap tain Fremantle to trial were : 1. For having on the 27th of March, 1856, behaved himself with contempt towards Captain S. C. Fremantle his commanding officer, by performing au impertinent and provoking action after receiving from his clmma-ld ing officer instructions relative to certain visitors then on board the said ship, and by procrastinating the de parture of the said visitors, he having been previously warned and porfect.y aware of his commanding officer's anxiety to _have the ship cleared of strangers and pre p tred for the duties of the fon )wing morning. 2. For haviaz, on or about the 2nd of June, 1856, behaved himself - with disrespect toe ards hia command. ing officer by going into his cabin with a frivolous grievance, and attempting to enter into altercation with, and to criticise the conduct of his commanding officer in a manner unbecoming a junior offia , r, with reference to a Tainted handkerchief, and to his own duties as a senior lieutenant of the ship. 3. For having, oa or about the 11th of January, 1857, behaved in a manner unbecoming the character of an officer by brtaking his patrol. 4. For having, on or about the 15th of January, 1857, acted in violation of the general printed iustrue tions and the custom of the service by forwarding to his commanding officer a remonstrance upon uejustifisble grounds, addressed to the Commander-in-Cuief in a covering letter unnecessarily hasty and dictatorial. The cccasion out of which the first charge arose seems to have been one of tho=e entertainments on board the Juno, by which British officers endeavtur to repay the courtesies and civilities they reo.ive from British colonists when in colonial ports. The Juno's visitors, among whom wero several ladies, were being regaled by a nautical theatrical repre sentation, when the evening's amusements were cut short by Captain Fremantle ordering the ship to be cleared. Lieut. Burnaby executed this ex traordinaryand sudden order with all thespeed that attention and consideration for the ladies permitted —so ranch so, that there is no imputation against him that the Captain's directions in this respect, however unnecessary and disagreeable, were not obeyed as became the first lieutenant of the ship. Tie order was given by Captain Fremantle in his own cabin, when only himself and Lieut. Burnaby were present ; and Capt-tin Fremantle charges the lieutenant with contempt towards his commanding officer " by performing an impertinent and provok ing action.' What the alleged action was, is neither stated, nor did it appear on the trial. Lieut. Burnaby, however, pledged his honour as an officer and a gentleman to the court martial that he committed no act of impropriety ; and he is, we shall see, entitled to full en dunce. This occurrence took pl tce on the 27th March, 1856. On this pretence Captain Fremantle imme diately placed his first lieutenant under arrest ; situ in at rest Lieut. But naby remained anti the 231 November, 1857, when he appeared a prisoner before the court taiftrtial assembled on board the St. Vincent, in Port:unouth harb•lur. Daring these eighteen month, whc n Lieut. Burnaby was suspended from the performance of his duties, hell up to the odium of his ship and brother offic,rs, and deprived of personal freedom, Captain Fre mantle managed to get up three other charges against 11 m, a!1 of a frivolous and vc xatious kind ; and on these four charges he was brought to trial. Of course C‘ptain Fremautlo was, or ought to have the prncipal witnes.. He bud pref . , rred the charges, and presented himself as prosecutor before the court martial. On being directed by the President to stato to t'ie Court what he knew about the charges, the following extraordinary and pain ful scene took place : Cap' ai n Freman tie —I know nothing. I am prepared, sir, with your permi-pion, to aban ion this prosecuti I am prepared to indemn fy the prisoner by " corporeal pal s. " The Court at this point stopped the prosecutor and cleared the cabin. Oce its being re-opened, The President said—The Curt bits been cleared to give you time to consider. You have been swt rn, &e. The prostcutur replied— I feel myself totatl7 uuable at the present time to collect my ideas to give the required evidence as to matters which transpired so hog ago ; feel Fo impressed that my views of the service h ave been mistaken and wrong. President—Captain Fn mantle, you are there as a witn.s., and roust t',niccer a plain question. CAptain Fremantle—Thete is a confusion in my hear', and I cannot proceed. President—ilespectirg coat has been said about the views I Cart , :tin Fre , nanll , :—l feel EC , confused that I cannot attetnpt•to recount upon oath with any degree of fidelity, and agreeably to the words of the oath, what transpired so long ago. I request the president wilt allow me to .it down. The Court here informed Captain Fremantle that in consequence of his statement of his inai,ilitv to give evi (hue, lie might retire and give ericieLce "by and by," when the Court had examined the other witnesses. The ewe proceeded, other witnesses were 'called, but the anticipated "by and by" did not come round, Captain Fremantle presurved the silence he thus inaugurated, and Licut. Burnaby was com pelled to make his defence without bearing the pro secutor utter one word aigairst him. He made it with complete success, and, SO far as it was pothhle, he suppoitei his own personal statement with evi dence. The result was the following finding by the Court Martial : Cmirt acquits the prisoner, and further expresses its otieion that the evidence before it does not show suffic!elt grounds for preferriug such charges against the s ii Lieutenant, some of which are of so serious a naT ure. And this was all I Out of the June, under Captain Fremaulle'S command, two other Courts Martial Lave been held " on officers," the report stated " who had long keen imprisoned iu their cabins, as it were, and. suspended front all duty, and nearly from inter course with their messmates." One of those charges aLo came to nothing, and the other ended only in a eprimand. " But," added the repot ter representing the naval feeling aed experience of Port.imeuth, " it is questionable whether the captain, who is so power fully connected, will receive any censure from the Ad tnii airy." No doubt powerful comic* t !ens have great influence at the Admiralty, as when, for exau)ple, the Honourable Captain Pedram was the other day made a Loid of that precious Board, he was in.= stantly succeeded in the command of the Blenheim by the Honourable Captain Hastings--but there is a decency which not even "powerful connections" can venture to trespass ; and in the case of Captain Fremantle, which ontrivals any of the deeds de scribed by Smollett in "Roderick Random," the Admiralty has actually ventured to " reprimand" this m In of " pewcrful connections." The public, with whom such mine tions have no influence,- will probably think that for such au offence as Captain Fremantle committed a repri mand is a wholly insufficient punishment ; and th public in so thinking will come to a perfectly sound conclusion. Because of his family influence the eon:inland of one of her Majesty's ships on a dis taut station was entrusted to Captain Fremantle, and knowing how powerful at the Admiralty that influence wag, he appears to have very grossly abused the power and authority confided to him. He appears to have rendered the lives of his officers insupportable by a long course of vexatious tyranny; for a period of eighteen months he degraded, insulted, confined, and punished his First Lieute nant ; at the end of that period he brought charges against him which, if substantiated, might have lea to his dismissal from the Queen's service in a manner that would have consigned that officer to disgrace, if not ruin and destruction ; finally, when called on to prove those charge?, he was paralysed by a sense of his utter inability to do so, his spirit sunk within him, and his tongue clove to the roof of his mouth. There, before a court of officers of rank and reputation, stood Cap tain Fremantle, when called on to establish h7s case, unable to say one word in support of his own accusation ; admitting and confessing that he could not prove one tittle of the imputations he had framed, aoffn de; offering, and ti on with hgo an w by h j e i o c cf h t a h a e ns eci a l s f k i ne e o d e no f hv o ei r ert a een C d o u c a r ul t 1- m iMm il na ra ri at tr ita i r: to "indemnify the prisoner by t corporeal h pains Was there ever before, i n the wholecn there possibly be course of y naval l" history, anything halt s o b a d 7 be anything wor se ? Y e t for this unparalleled . offence, commit ed by a man who has " t o werful connections," all the punishment that the Admi talty—all that Sir Charles Wood, at the head of the naval service of thi s grea t maritime country— has thought proper to inflict, is a "reprimand , " and even that "reprimand" is private l y , almos t secretly administered to Capt. Fremantle. This, we undertake to tell the Admiralty, is not justice, or anything like justice ; and the public . will only see in it another and a more audacious example o f that detestable spirit of favouritism it, the Admi ralty which disgusts a noble profession and injures the British Navy.—Daily News.
