COURT-MARTIAL AT WINDSOR.-011 Mon-
day a Court-martial was held at the Barracks, Shut-
street, upon Daniel Hobbs, a private in the 2d batta-
lion of the Rifle Brigade, who was charged with leaving
his post, and totally neglecting his duty, during the
period he was stationed as sentry on the north-east por-
tion of the terrace of the Castle, at the time her Ma-
jesty was promenading in front of the private apart-
ments. It appeared that the soldier had wandered
upwards of twenty yards from his post, for the supposed
purpose of gratifying his curiosity by having a closer
view of the Queen. During the period of the man's
temporary absence upwards of sixty persons obtruded
themselves upon that part of the New Terrace (from
which they would have otherwise been excluded), to the
great annoyance of her Majesty, and of her distinguished
visitors and suite. The Court found the prisoner
guilty of neglect of duty and deserting his post, and
sentenced him to the lenient punishment of only 20
days confinement.

Har Royal Highness the Princess Sophia Ma-
tilda met with a severe accident while at Broadstaits,
which was nearly attended with fatal consequences.
It appears that her Royal Highness was in her drawing-
room after dinner, in company with Lady A. Gordon, her
lady in waiting, when by some accident her dress caught
fire, which being observed by Lady Gordon, she
attempted to extinguish it, at the same time calling
for assistance. Mr. Gardiner, the Page, instantly
rushed into the room. The Princess, with great pre-
sence of mind, on finding the danger she was in, threw
herself down on the sofa and partly smothered the
flames, which were put out by Mr. Gardiner ; it was then
discovered that her Royal Highness was severely burnt
about the arm, which rendered her incapable of writing
for some time ; but we are happy to state that she is
perfectly recovered. The affair was kept secret during
her sojurn at Broadstairs. Had it terminated fatally
her loss would have been severely felt by the poor of
this and . other neighbourhoods. as during the
winter months her charity is extended to hundreds of
persons who apply to her, and whom she relieves in
a most delicate manner ; never refusing any of the
deserving ; and doing more good with her limited in-
come, than many possessing three times as much.—
West Kent Guardian.

The late Duke of Argyll has died far from
