THE LATE COURT-MARTIAL ON QUARTERMASTER
TALL general order, dated Horse Guards, Jan. 17, 1866,
las been promulgated by the Adjutant-General of the
Teresa, Lord William Paulet, by order of his Royal High-
ness the Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief, in reference
to the general (*admin./al, held in Dublin, in October
Mat, at which Quartermaster Malcolm Heir, of the Military
Train, was arraigned "for scandalous conduct, unbecoming
the character of an officer and • gentleman,
in obtaining when quartermaster of the Military
Train, peoualary gratuities, /ix.," and who was
found guilt y and sentenced by the court to be cashiered.The general order announces that "her Majesty has been
pleased to approve and cosfirm the fioding and sentence of
the court." The Field-Marshal Commandieg-in-Chief trusts
that the example which has been made in this case will not
fail to have the effect of putting an end to the pernicious
system of receiving money es • bonus from the oostractors
for forage or any other articles supplied to her Majesty's
troops, and which there is too much reason to suppose has
prevailedet to a considerable extent. His royal highness
that the charges against Quartermaster Heir, toge-
ther with the finding sod sentence of the court and her
Majesty's confirmation thereof, be entered in the General
Order Book, and read at the head of every regiment in her
Majesty's service.

ORPHAN WORKING SCHOOL, HAVERSTOCK-NLLL.—
The 108th annual general court of governors was held yes-
terday at the London-tavern, Mr. John Remington Mills,
3LP., in the chair. The annual report stated that the
charity still maintains its good name in public opinion by
its continued course of usefulness. The schools are in •
meet satisfactory position under the able management of
the present master and mistress, and the house under that
of the matron. The children make steady progress in the
breeches of a so
of Thom about to
leave the schools are much sought after for situations,
especially the girls, for whom the applications are
eery aumerous. A most gratifying feature in connection
with the past scholar, is their strong attschment to
the institution, the exceptions to which are very few indeed.
Daring the past year 77 children were admitted into the
lastitutios, 75 by election sod two by purchase. Left during
the year, 42 ; died, 4=46. Number now in school, 242
boys, 106 girls; total, 348. The positive increase &rise
the year has been 31--sinesthe enlargement of the building
in 1860 the increase has been 91 in six years. The next
election will take place in July, when 40 children will be
again admitted. The total receipts have been 9,0671.

receipts of donations at elections as compared with, the
previous year of 6061. 4a, 6d., which is aconntod for from
the large number of children admitted at each election,
enabling the friends of candidates to secure admission with
very few votes, and but little effort on their part. It is
very satisfactory to the needy applicants that it should be
so. It will, however, ease as the number of candidates
increases. The other present deficiency is upon the rental.
