ments to the 20. h of the same month, Deputy•Assistant.Commis-
sFy-Oeneral Thomas Duguit: was arraigned upon the under-men-
tioned Charge., viz.
lit " For gross and shameful conduct, unworthy of en Officer
and a Gentleman, by being drunk an duty during the office hours.
on the 28th of November. 1825, and afterwards proceeding in that
state to the Mess of the 9th Regiment, thereby obliging the Officers
of that Corps to address an official intimation to Assistant•Com-
missmy-General Robertson, his superior Officer, that his, Mr. Du.
guid's society, must be dispensed with in future.
2d. "For gross neglect of duty, being in such a state of ititoxi-
mion as to be unattle to produce the key of the money vault, in
order to lock up the detail chest at the close of the office hewn
the key of the outer door of the vault being in his possession Pot'
that purpose; and which was thereby deposited in the preylsion
stores, in lieu of the usual place of security, on the night t t the
28th of November, l 825: and which neglect of duty was re-
peated on the 29th of November, during the whole of which day
he remained incapable of attending to any public duty ; such con-
duct being in disobedience of the orders of hie superior Officer,
and thereby setting a bad example by his inattention to cosatmou
decorum, and to the security of the public property, anti in breach
of the Articles of War."

dence that has hcei brought forward in support of the ptosecution
agatinst thi prisoner, %Deputy- Ass pa.ant-tlonirmasary-tieneral Tlas.;>
otos Deguad... tiage,lier with Ate thalence, Is of opinion that lie Is
guilty of tie tifAt Margo.
",libe Court is alea of opinion, that the prisoner is guilty of the
scrotal Charge. •

" The (Seim haring thus found the prisoner guilty of both the
Charges preferred against him, she whole of ',hien being in breach
of the Artiti.s of 11 at, does therefore sentence him, the prisoner,
Deputy Assistant-Commissary-General Thomas Duguid, to be
eashin ed."

MARKETS.

;rolls"
COIIN-F:XCHANGE, hioNuer, Jv'ek 2C,.
We hod an extensive supply of trate, and a fair one of other grain
during lust week, and this morning some few arrivals from the east coast.
Rot tine Wheat, being in demand, readily obtained the current price of
last 3lonchry but middling samples, I. wet as stale granary ones, ware
nearly unsaleable. Harley for grinding was in good request, at quoted
pokes. Beans as well as Pees must be notedfrather dearer, as the long
continuation of dry weather, it Is supposed, has in a degree Injured the
present growth. There was but little business doing in Oats ; but this
article was held firmly at hug week's currency, as the factors are looking
fur an Increased demand and higher prices.

SMITHFIELD, MONDAY, Jusx 6.

_ -
The heat of the weather has laden evident effect on the Mutton market
to-day, nut only with butchers, who refuse to purchase largely, but very
much co with those persons who are in the habit of haying at thii season
of the year for keeping ; the grass being very clench:lw, and, from present
appearances, likely to remain so. This being the twat market of the season
fur Orsaalled, the attPl4, Is very Aar, though the pi ices cannot be quoted
higher than 4s. dd. fur the best qualities, but with a tolerable trade; the
Ordinary ones appeal to remain very heavy on hand, and nu doubt many
will be turned out unsold. Veal In again abundant, but still keeps up ct
bs. for the primes Calves. Lamb is plentiful, but heavy, excepting for
very good ones, and these alone reach ~n.
