CounT-rkIAnTtAL..--The Court-Marti.►l beld Glasgow in June last, of which Colonel NVAL, LACE, C. B. of the 88th Regiment, was Presi -4.lent, ou Paymaster JAMES BULINEEIt, of the 5111 Dragoon Guards, arraigned at the instance of berjeant 111:ANY, of the same corps, on six dif ferent charges, of making fake charges for lodging money, marching money, &c. has been pro- intilgated. . The Court found the prisoner guilty of the first, second, third, and sixth charges, but .from his advanced period of lire, his infirmities, and the total dependence he appears to have plated in his clerk, by whom the accounts appear to have been made up, the Court is inclined to admit that the prisoner 'ivas not aware of the irregularities having been in- serted. In respect to those parts of the charges of which the pri soner has been found guilty, in breach of the Articles of War, the Conh sentences the prisoner, Paymaster James Ilrunker, of the sth Dragoon . Guards, to he dismissed his Majesty's service. At the same time that the Court feel themselves under the necessity of awarding this severe sentence on' the prisoner, they trust that the age, long services (42 years in the regi- • Inca), and the numerous family which the prisoner has to solpport, as well as the honourable testimonies of good cha racter which he has produced, may excuse the impulse which the Court feel to interest towards him ; and that they may therefore be permitted, most humbly and respectfully, to submit those circumstances to the gracious anal merciful con sideration of his Royalloess the Prince Regent. The Court, in closing their proceeding's, cannot help ex pressing their regret, that the prosecutor did not report the irregularities which form the charges now before the Court, so soots' as he because acquainted with their existence, which might have prevented the coalitioner of them so long, and thedilliculties the CourChase found in investigating particu lars, in consequence of the time that has elapsed and of docu ments being now destroyed, as he would thereby have more effectually promoted the good of the service. Major-General HorE, having transmitted] the proceedings for the decision and approval of the l'aucce REGENT, received the following commu nication through the Commander-in-Chief : I am to acquaint you, that his Royal Highness the Prince Regent was pleased, in the name and on the behalf of his Ma jesty, to approve and confirm the finding and'sentence of the Court. But under all the circumstances attending the'pro seention, and on the face of the pruceedingsby which it is evident that this Old officer, however culpable and, negligent he may have been, ill confiding to others the details he should have executed himself, together with his excellent character fora perifid of service of more than fcrty years—the Prince Regent •was farther pleased to extend his most gracious cle mency to the prisoner, and to command that he, Paymaster Bruni:er, should be restored to the service, and planed upon half-pay, as a small provision for himself and large family, for the remainder of a life spent in the service of his country. Major-General HoPE has directed the finding and sentence of the said General Court-Martial, together with the approval and confirmation of the same bv his Royal Highness the PatNcE RE GENT, as also the extension of his Royal ,High ness's most gracious cletuvey to i'ayinaster BRUNN.ER, to be read at the head of each regi ment and corps stationed under his command its North Britain. • Early yesterday morning Colonel FAGAN arrived at Earl BATHURST'S otEce, with despatches from Sir HUDSON Lows at St. Helena.

We not .only differ in opinion with ; our Competitors as to the excellence of this mosic„revering as we do the genius of MozAKT, but on the manner in :which the principal character was„ ; sustained.

Nobleman of high rank and fascinating manners. AMBROGETTI ,was, there fore, much better suited to perform the pajt of the servant, as his manners were characterized by a low kind of fun. However he is a very good Comedian. The Opera was , fitlloweil by . what is styled a Rejoui.sance, in honour of the PRINCE REGENT'S birth-day. The musk Was composed by the veteran KELLY, and was pleasing anti ap 7 propriate. The stage, on the raising of the ctirtAin, presented a very splendid scene, repre senting an Eastern Temple, with a triumphal Arch in front. The stage was filled with vocal Per- formers, and the Band was supported by 30 Prussian Trumpets, and the effect of the whole was nmrtial, grand, and impressiVe ; concluding; with God save the King, sung by all the Per formers, and rapturously appiauded by the au• thence, standing in loyal reverence. This well timed tribute to the PaINCE REGKNT, which was highly app!auded, was followed by the Ballet of Figaro ; and the audience, which was very nu met oils, were warm in applause.

Sir ARTHUR I l l*GoTT moved a Petition from the Legatees and Annuitants on these estates, praying that one-fourth of the legacies and interest, and of the arrears of annuities, should be paid to them. Several successive orders had been made by his Lordship, in 1812,1814, and 1816, for all the claims by the tenants on the March told Bue cleuch estates. They were all now presented, and the Master had reported upon them. They amount to 565,5631. The funds nuts in Court are upwards of one million and.a half in Reduced and Consolidated Annuities. The whole demand of the petitioners was 775,0 111 . One-fourth of this was 193,7521. 15s. ; and to obtain this sum it was necessary tia sell out a certain-proportiou of the 3 per cents., which were now above 80. Making therefore round numbers of it, after sell ing to the 'amount of 19 , 1,0001. there would re. main 1,258,7331. The petitioners had never received any money irom these funds, aud the propriety and humanity of granting the sum.re quired would be admitted, when he stated that many of them were poor, receiving 55., 7s. 6d., and 10s. per week, servants and dependents of the family- in London, 11iellmond, and Newmatket. As the whole extent of claims was ascertained, the Residuary Legatees made no objection ; nei ther would the Duke of Pruccleugh, the Earl of Maech, or their tenants slake any objection. Thy Loan CHANCELLOR-1 am nut prepared to say a ny thing on the subject till I read the peti tions. 'A question of great importance was stated in the Court of Session, that if the leases were reduced the tenants might be entitled to rank as claimants of compensation front the funds. • Sir A. rIGGOTT—That, my Lord, is the ground of the claim 1 have mentioned - of 565.000/. Mr. WETut ERAt.t., for the tenants of March, 211(1 Mr. ABERCROMBIE, for Horst of liuerlench,.had un objection, provided they were to be served with notice when any money vas paid out of Court. The Loup CHANCELLOR-1 shall read the poi ' .t ions, and try to by ready, to-morrow ; but the Duke of linceleugh and the Earl of March ought to be represented in Court. h e rapid Sale of the Tickets in so early a pe riod of the present Lottery is inconceivable, and can only arise from their very limited number, and low prices.
