- The transport-ship Lillias, 1,468 tons register, Capt.

a.m. She had received all her stores, powder, and
shell, and two of her 95 cwt. guns.
A court-martial assembled on board the Waterloo,
120 guns, flag-ship, on Saturday last, to try Captain
Arthur Forbes and Mr. Richard H. Warren, the master
of the Calypso, on a charge of having run the said vessel
on shore on the 21st of February last, on the Diamond-
shoal on the north-west coast of the island of Antigua.
The sentence of the Court was to the following effect :
" That the Court is of opinion that H.M.S. Calypso took
the ground in consequence of due care not having been
taken by the commander and master on approaching a
dangerous coast, neglecting the Admiralty instructions
relative to casting the lead, and for their using au un-
authorised chart, by which a miscalculation might have
been made of the distance run. They are clearly of opi-
nion that both were to blame, and they do adjudge Cap-
tain Arthur Forbes and Mr. Richard 11. Warren to be
severely reprimanded ; and, further, that Mr. Richard
H.Warren be put back on the list of masters for the term
of two years." The Court expressed their highest satis-
faction at the efficient manner in which each of them had
most judiciously acted, aftor the accident, in getting the
ship off again.
The Calypso is to be paid off on Wednesday next at
Chatham.
The 3d battalion of 60th Regiment (the King's Royal
Rifle corps), under the command of Lieut.-Col. Bedford,
will proceed by special railway train at 3 p.m. to-mor-
row, from Dublin to the Curragh of Kildare, there to
encamp.
Majur-Gen. J. C. Chatterton, K.C., is expected to ar-
rive at Limerick shortly, to assume the command of the
troops in that district, in succession to Lieut.-General
Fleming, C.B.
