The General Court-Martial which assembled a short time
ago at Dublin, for the trial of Second Captain Bloase, of
the Royal Artillery, has ended in a reprimand. At the
brat sitting the court honourably acquitted the prisoner,
but a revision was ordered, upon which he was found
guilty of a portion of the charge, and sentenced to be
reprimanded. This sentence is confirmed, butt not
'approved ; and Lord Harding° forwards a resume
of the proceedings, accompanied by Dome judicious
remarks of his own, to the commanding officers of regi-
ments. It has, wo hear, been decided that the Heavy
Cavalry shall have, in lieu of the stable jacket, a coat, the
cloth of which will not be of such weight and texture as
the present one now in use, bat of the same quality and de-
scription as that worn by the Household Brigade of In-
fantry. The new dress contemplated is said I. be a scarlet
tiugle-breasted tunic, with a square collar, an aiguillette in
place of epaulette., and grey overalls with red (fox officers,
gold) stripes. The War-otlice has granted an allowance of
Ls. per d.em to each captain and subaltern officer of •
militia regiment during the period they may he attached to
regiments of the line for instruction in Earrlaird and Wales,
provided girth allowance does not exceed 71. in all for the
Militia Infantry, and 10!. for the Militia Artillery. The
I.4lowing changes if troops will take place immediately :
The 33rd Regiment, Makehester to Athlone, to relieve the
Gland, ordered to Kilkenny, who replace the 74th depot,
proceeding to Chatham, slung with the 43rd depot, these

GOODWOOD RACES.
Once more we find miracle, s upon the eve of this brilliant
meeting, where rank, hellion, and beauty combine to lend
their influence to the promotion of our most popular
national sport. Goodwood INMSCISrII all the attractions
which every other race meeting possesses separately—
beautiful scenery, a splendid course, select company, and
sport not to be excelled anywhere.
The first meeting at Goodwood took place in April, 1802;
on that occasion there were three ',styli' running, and
sixteen races, the aggregate value of the stakes being about
1,0001. Notwithstanding the support it received from the
aristocratic patrons of the turf, Goodwood meeting did not
progress, and in 1810 the races hod dwindled dawn to two
days' sport. In 1812 a successful effort was made
to give renewed vitality to the recta by the es-
tablishment of the Goodwood Cup, since which
time the meeting has been gradually inere:sing
in dignity and importance until it is second to no other
reunion of the kind throughout the length and breadth of
the land. To the high and honourable character of the
noble owner of Goodwood, and to his princely patronage
and hospitality, the public are indebted for the maintenance
of a meeting which is justly designated " The Turfite'a
Model Meeting"—tor the r swell. nee of the arrangements,
tl.e abundance of the sport provided, an I the attingent
!Teem adored for preserving the meeting from the intru-
sion of the black sheep of the turf. Such characters find
no harbour in Goodwood, and a iliaelumed daw mickt as
well hope to perch in the Stock Exchange as a notorious
defaulter to obtain admittance to the duke's park during
the race week—a regulation that should he carried out
strictly at every race meeting in the kingdom.
The programme for the four days is the most abundant
that has ever been put forth on a similar occasion. Not
only are the events more numerous, but they are also more
important in character than usual. One novel and in-
teresting feature has been added to the sport by the estab
liahment of the Great North and South of England Bien.
nial Stakes, to be run for the lint time this year at Good-
wood by two-y r-olds, and next year at York when they
are three.yr-olds ; an interesting competition will he there-
by induced between the north and south country horses.
Should the weather prove fine, this will doubtless be a
most brilliant meeting ; all the sporting celebrities of Eng-
land muy be expected to assemble, and we understand that
extensive arrangements are being made at Goodwood
Rouse, for the reception of a large circle of distinguished
visitors,

The London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Com.
pany have made every necessary arrangement to meet the
requirements of the public during the week. Of course
everybody will go by rai!—the road is now nearlya tradition?
The communication with those plrasant sea-bathing ptices
Worthing and Bognor—with the picturesque town of Arun-
del—the old city of Chichester and Portsmouth, famous
for its fortifications, harbour, dockyard, &c., will be fee-
quern, rapid, and certain, so that visitors to Goodwood may
without difficulty locate themselves according to their in-
clination at any of these places daring the meeting.
The programme fur to-morrow (rttEsuar) comprises the
C Stakes, which closes this day ; a Sweepstakes of 300
FOY/. each, for 41r-olds; the Ham Stakes, the Oratwicke
Stakes, the Lavant Stakes, four matches, and a selling stake,
which closes this day.
On ‘VEDNESDAY these will be the Goodwood Stakes, the
Drawing Room Stakes, a sweepstakes of 300 son. each for

of England Biennial Stakes (first year), the Stewards' Cup,

four close to-day.
THURI.DAY.ti attractions will consist of the Cup, a series
of Bentinck Memorial Stakes (oae of them being for 2-yr-
olds, one fur 3.yr-oida, and one for 4-yr.olds), a Sweepstakes
