" Doubts having arisen respecting the manner in which
men convicted by courts-martial, but whnao sentences are
remitted, should be dealt with, commanding officers arc in-
formed that article 9, page 24, of the " Artillery Finance
Regulations" is cancelled ; and attention is requested to the
173 1 Article of War, which directs that men shall forfeit
their pay and service while confined awaiting trial, or \chile
convictions by courts-martial remain recorded as entrances
in the defaulters' book. Notwithstanding the remission of
the sentence, illegality of court-martial or acquittal can
alone be received as exemptions.

" The officer commanding Royal Artillery at Guernsey
will obtain the sanction of the General officer commanding
the troops for the removal of Second-Capt. Roberts from
gfternsey to Aldcrshott."

A large number of writers, mechanics, and la-
bourers were on Saturday discharged from the de-
partments of Woolwich Arsenal, in order to reduce
the number to what is termed the peace establish-
ment. 400 left the Royal Laboratory, and 600
more are to be dismissed from the department dur-
ing the present month. In consequence of the great
destitution in the neighbourhood, burglaries at night
and depredations in the common thoroughfares by
day are of such frequent occurrence- that requisitions
have been made to Sir Richard Mayne to provide
and increase of the•police force.

7-11 E DUKE OF SOMERSET ON IHE
4211ZRICAN WAR AND THE DISIRESS.

_ -
A very influential county meeting was held at
Exeter on Friday, to express sympathy with, and
offer aid to, the distressed operatives in the north.
The High Sheriff presided. The Duke of Somerset,
Sir L. Palk, M.P., Mr. Kekowich, M.P.. Hon. C.
R. Trefusis, Sir H. F. Davie, M.P., Sir M. Lopes,
M.P., and other gentlemen addressed the meeting.
Above £6OO was subscribed in the room, and acorn-
mittee was appointed to assist the High Sheriff in
obtaining subscriptions throughout the county.

The Duke of SOMERSET, in the course of his
speech, said be baaeved they had reason to hope
that India would to some extent supply that quan-
tity of cotton which the English could not now re-
ceive from America. This of course would take
time, although they might hope that next year they
would have a larger supply than a few months ago
was expected. Yet it would take considerable time
to restore the vigour which the cotton manufacture
had lost, and during that time there would of
course be great suffering. They heard of a thou-
sand substitutes for cotton, but for his own part he
did not think it was for persons who were net
manufacturers to give advice to the manufacturers
themselves on that head. Of course the manufactu-
rers were awake to this, and if there were any sub-
stitutes for cotton, they were the people most likely
to find them. Let us hope that the disaster would
come to a speedy end, and after at least one winter
they might see the war concluded. He could only
say that which every Englishman felt, that they
should be delighted to see the war brought to a
conclusion, that war which was most sanguinary
and which had been conducted in the most savage
manner in the destruction of life and property. An
offer of mediation might be received only with re-
sentment, and the time and opportunity must there-
fore be carefully watched. The Government of this
country, as well as every other Christian Government
in Europe, would be too glad if they could see the
means of assisting to put an end to the strife. But
they made an allowance for the belligerents. He
saw in the papers that there were violent articles
written against each party. But when they took
the matter as it stood, they would see that the
quarrel having been commenced, there were great
difficulties in it, and that there were also great diffi-
culties in bringing about peace; for if they expected
to put aside that strife they could not do as some
people talked of. In some of the papers of America
they read a great deal of subjugation; but subju-
gation did not belong to a land of freemen. They
read a great deal about extermination ; but enter•
mination did not belong to a land of Christians.
(Applause.) As to what would bring about an end
to that war there were many opinions ; but let them
hope that it soon would come to an end. The only
means to accomplish that, as far as he could see, was
by mutual concession ; but then came the great diffi-
culty, where should be the boundaries, and what
the frontiers, of the respective Powers. That was a
question full of difficulty, therefore we must make
an allowance for the position in which the Ameri-
cans were placed, and not wish to say one word
which might tend to excite ill•feeling either in the
Northern or in the Southern States, for we knew
what excitable people the Americans were. All he
could say was, that he should be most happy, and
he believed every Englishman would, to see that
war settled without sacrificing the honour of either
party. The great amount of sympathy that was
shown throughout this country towards the dis-
tressed operatives of Lancashire, if it did no more,
certainly would show other countries that we are a
united people, and that we are bound together by
loyalty to our Sovereign and by mutual affections.
(Applause.) We could now address ourselves to the
Americans and say, "We are now at peace, and
have no idea of quarrelling amongst ourselves. We
have had our difficulties ; different classes have taken
different views; but in the moment of suffering all
party feelings cease to exist." (Applause.) That was
the only feeling that he had ever witnessed in Eng-
land whenever there was suffering.—Manchester
Guardian.
