Of invalids from the seat of war, their presence created
Very considerable interest. The detachments were
under command of Captain William Jesse Hoare, 7th
Fusiliers, and Surgeon A. H. Cowen, 50th. The result
of a medical inspection was that only 30
men were sent
into hospital, and the remainder,. with the exception of
the Guards, were sent to the invalid depot, St. Mary's
Barracks, to await the decision of a Chelsea board,
which will assemble in a few days.

THE LANCERS' NEW UNIFORAL
' The Lancers' new uniform will consist of a tunic or
frock, similar to the one to be worn by the regiments
particularly denominated Light Dragoons ; but the seams
will be of the same colour as the facings, the only dis-
tinction ; thus, the seams of the 17th Lancers will
be white, similar to the facings.
The cap and
trousers will be the same as usual. The colour
for the future of all light cavalry regiments will
be blue; indeed, of late the 16th Lancers was
the only corps permitted to retain the scarlet, a
distinction now to be abolished, no doubt much
'4o the regret of the recruiting serjeant, as the eye of
the recruit generally falls on the more prominent colour.
Our goveiiiments have of late years been very whimsical
in regard to military dress ; but this change is the most
remarkable of ail, particularly as a wholesale set is made
against lace, much to the consternation of the gold and
silver lace tradesmen. The new Hussar and heavy
uniforms are under consideration. Mr. Rogers, of
Covent-garden, is the designer 'of the Lancers' new
uniform ; there are .numerous competitors in the field
for the others.

THE AMBULANCE CORPS.
Several of the men intended for this corps left London
yesterday for the East. The corps is to be under the
command of a Captain Grant, and. the uniform is to be
grey. The duty will be to pick up stragglers, the
wounded, &c. The pay is to be two guineas per week,
with rations fine pay certainly for quondam policemen,
more than a poor lieutenant receives.

ROYAL ARTILLERY.
One hundred men of the Royal Artillery proceeded

from Woolwich garrison at 4 a.m. yesterday to the Royal
Arsenal to assist in loading the Australia transport
steamer with large guns and warlike stores for service in
the East ; they were relieved at I o'clock p.m. by an
equal number of men, as it is desirable that she should
be able to embark Major Young's company,7 2d company
of the 12th battalion, and Capt. Irving 's-3d company,
12th battalion to-day, these companies being under or-
ders to proceed with the siege guns for service in Turkey.

One hundred and fifty non-commissioned officers and
men of theßoyal Artillery have moved from the Artillery
Barracks at Woolwich into the Royal Marine Barracks.
There are also three companies of Royal Artillery in
camp on Woolwich-common, and two in camp in Green-
hill, at the west end of the Artillery Barracks. By these
arrangements the authorities are enabled to have the
barracks thoroughly cleaned and renovated.
Eighteen sergeants, conductors, have been placed
under orders to proceed in the Australia for service in
the East.

THE MILITIA AND YEOMANRY.
The number of Militia regiments now out embodied
and doing garrison duty is 14 ; these will in due time be
relieved by others hereafter to be embodied for perma-
nent duty.

The East Kent Militia, Lieutenant-Colonel Brockman,
arrived at New-cross on Friday morning from Chiches-
ter, and marched into the garrison at Woolwich, to do
duty in the room of the Lancashire Militia, removed to
Portsmouth. The East Kent appear a fine body of
men.

The West Essex Yeomanry Cavalry, Major Pulman,
commander, were inspected yesterday at Chelmsford by
Colonel Griffiths, who warmly commended the skill and
proficiency of the corps.

DEATH OF MAJOR-GENERAL H. H. HARTLEY.
Died, on the 7th August, Major-General Humphrey
Robert Hartley, born 24th August, 1794.
He was educated at the Royal Military College of
Marlow, Bucks, where he obtained the highest honour
as under officer, and entered his Majesty's service as
ensign by purchase in the 57th Regiment of Foot, which
he joined on the Bth October, 1812, at Brighton, and
whilst there made a special applicatior. to Colonel Spring,
soliciting permission to join a detachment then on the
eve of embarkation for Spain. Ho proceeded thither,
joining the 57th at head-quarters of Major-General
Byng's brigade on the Pyrenees in 1813.
He became lieutenant by purchase, and was present
when the British force entered France, on the night of
the 9th November, 1813, and on the following day was
hotly engaged with the enemy ; and continued to do
duty with the second division till the termination of hos-
tilities at Toulouse, and upon the ratification of the
treaty of peace was ordered to Canada. During his
passage the transport in which the 57th was embarked
sustained and repulsed for two days successive attacks
by au American privateer.
Returning home in 1815 he was despatched with his
regiment to Belgium, en route to Paris, to do duty with
the army of occupation till 1818. From this date till
1824 he served in Ireland, and in that year was sent to
Van Diemen's Land and New South Wales. Whilst on
this latter station he was appointed, being senior cap-
tain, to relieve Major Campbell as conunandant of Mel-
ville Island, a tropical and most unhealthy climate,
which settlement was upon his representations abolished.
He returned to England 12th July, 1831, having at-
tained his lieutenant-colonelcy as well as the two junior
ranks by purchase. Having thus obtained the command
of the regiment that he entered as ensign, he proceeded
to Madras in 1832, and there introduced into the 57th
Regiment, on the 6th of November, 1832, the first
savings bank in the British army, since established
throughout the united service. He likewise introduced
libraries for the non-commissioned officers. From ex-
treme bodily prostration, in consequence of climate and
arduous duties, he obtained special leave of absence, and
upon convalescence effected an exchange in the 89th
Regiment, but continued unattached.
Major-General H. R. Hartley married on the 3d of
May, 1832, Miss Montague, daughter of Admiral Robt.

THE ROYAL DOCKYARD BRIGADE AND THE MOUS-
TACHE MOVEMENT.—On the order being promulgated
here, the non-commissioned officers of the respective
companies had to report to the Lieutenant-Colonel that
a large number of the men, principally artificers, bad to
a very considerable extent, and for some time past, cul-
tivated the moustache and the full and free growth of
their whiskers ; they have therefore only to conform to
the standing orders as to the extent pertnitted. These
men, when in uniformP have a very soldier-like appear-
ance, and seem all much pleased with the order permit-
ting the continuation of this soldier-like form in change
of feature, for certain it is many of them are really now
unknown even to their own officers, such is the change
in their appearance.

SECOND COURT-MARTIAL ON LIEUT.

PERRY.

NINTH DAY-MONDAY.

The general court-martial appointed to try Lieutenant
James Edward Perry, of the 46th Regiment, reassembled
this morning, soon after eleven o'clock, in the officers'
mess-room of the Infantry Barracks, Windsor, Col. Kelly,
presiding. Major-General Wetherall appeared as prose-
cutor, Major Dalgetty officiated as Deputy Judge-Advo-
cate. The prisoner was attended, as usual, by Mr.
Darvill, of Windsor, as his legal adviser. The anxiety of
the public to obtain admission was greater than ever, and
one lady, who was carried by the crowd into the court,
was compelled, nolens volens, to remain near the prisoner's
table during the whole of the proceedings.
Lieutenant Nicholas Dunscombe was called, and
examined on his former oath.

Prosecutor—Have you never received ill-treatment at
he hands of Captain Nicholas ?

Witness—Ne;rer.

Nicholas aids and abets others in annoying young officers,
or that he has aided and abetted others in so doing ?

Witness—lt is not.

Prosecutor—What is the character of Captain Nicholas,
as regards his treatment to young officers on joining ?
Witness—l always considered him very kind to young
officers in general, on joining.

Prisoner—(in cross•examination)—Did you ever hear
Captain Nicholas use opprobrious names for reporting?
Witness—Never, to my recollection.
Prisoner—Refresh your memory, and say whether he
has not done so to yourself.

Witness—With all due respect to the Court, I beg to
state that I have answered that question before.
Prisoner—l beg that it may be answered again more
specifically.
Several members of the Court remarked that the witness
Was bound to give some sort of answer to the question.
The President—But we cannot put words into his mouth.
Witness—l beg to give the same answer as before—
" Never, to my recollection."
Prisoner—Will you undertake to state that Captain
Nicholas, the day after you had sent an official report to
the general of the district, did not, in my presence, call
you "a d son of a b—," and "a b--," for reporting?
Witness—l never heard Captain Nicholas make use of
such expressions.

Prisoner—Did you not, after parade that day, come to
me in my own room and say, "They may call me what
names they like, I do not care ;" and was not that in re-
ference to the previous question I asked you ?
Witnesi—l may have gone to your room, but I never re-
member anything of the sort.

PrisonerLDicl—not many of the officers cut you for re-
portinc, to the general of the district?
Witness—A few of the officers were cool to me for a few
days, but I did not report to the general of the district.

bed by your cousin, Captain Webb—who was present?
Witness—lt is such a long time ago that I cannot bring
it to my recollection.
Prisoner—Will you undertake to state that Captain

Witness—l do not remember that he was. .

Prisoner—State the date, as near as 7()11 can recollect,
when you were pulled out of bed by Captain Webb, and
the date when you came to my room after parade ?
Witness—l think the former circumstance took place in
the month of June, 1853 ; as to the latter, as I do rot re-
collect having gone to your room, I cannot remember the
date.

Prisoner—c What date was it when you sent in an official
letter, threatening to appeal to the general of the district?
Witness—As near as I can recollect, it was the month of
October, 1853.
Prisoner—Did any officer ever state to you, or in your
presence, that he would be revenged for indignities heaped
upon him by Captain Nicholas ?
Witness—Never, to myrecollection.
Prisoner—Will youundertake to state, most positively,
that Ensign Stretton, who has since left the 46th Regiment,
did not often say so ?
Witness—l never heard Ensign Stretton say so to me,nor
to any one in my presence.
Prisoner—How long is i 1 since Ensign Stratton left the
46th ?

Witness—l cannot say.
By the Court—Who is Captain Webb' Did he then be-
long to the 46th?
Witness—He is a captain in the 4th Dragoon Guards.
Ho did not belong to the 46th.

Garrett,• threatening to complain to the general of the dis-
trict, did you complain of the conduct of any officers in
particular ?
Witness—l did.
By the Court—Who were they ?
Witness—l complained of Lieutenants Greer and Knapp.
There were four officers of whom I complained, but I can-
not recollect the other two.
By the Court—Was or was not Captain Nicholas one of
those officers ?
Witness —Ha was not.
By the Court—Was or was not Lieutenant Perry one of
them ? •
Witness —He was not.
By the Court—Without referring to any particular
words, do you think that Lieutenant Perry was reproached,
or that he suffered in any
way for having complained to
Colonel Garret ?
Witness—Re was not reproached in my presence nor
;
do I think he suffered in any way after that.

By the Court—Why was Lieutenant Perry unpopular
with his brother officers ?
Witness—l cannot undertake to say.
Prisoner (through the Court)—ls not Mr. Knapp in
Turkey, and Mr. Greer under arrest ?
Witness —Mr. Knapp is in Turkey, and Mr. Greer is
under arrest.
Prisoner—Will you explain why your memory is so
vivid as to these two parties, and so oblivious as to the
others who were present?
Witness—The very circumstances that one is in Turkey,
and the other under arrest, served to impress their names
on my memory. -

Li eutenant George Frederick Dallas was then sworn,
iyulo.o been in the 4Gth Regi-
ment ?
Witness--A little over nine years.
Prosecutor—Have you ever received ill-treatment at the
hands of Captain _Nicholas ?
Witness—Never.
Prosecutor—ls it within your knowledge that Captain
Nicholas aids and abets others in ill-treating young officers,
or that Captain Nicholas ever did aid and abet others in
so doing ?
Witness—lt is not within my knowledge that he ever
did so ; I never heard it stated that he did so.
Prosecutor—What is the character of Captain Nicholas
in the regiment as regards his treatment of young officers
on joining?
Witness—From my knowledge of Captain Nicholas, I
should say nothing could exceed his kindness and courtesy
to all his brother officers, young officers and all.
By the Court—Was Lieutenant Perry unpopular with
his brother officers ; and why ?
Witness—l have not seen much of Lieutenant Perry,
having generally been in other quarters. I should say he
was unpopular in the regiment, I conclude from his offen-
sive forward manners partly, and from the bad character
I have heard of him in the regiment. I don't know why
he was unpopular in the regiment ; I only heard so.
The President—" Heard so ;" that will not do.
Witness—l've only been quartered with Lieutenant
Perry for three •or four months ; I've seen very little of
him.
Prisoner—Let the witness state all he knows. There is
no doubt as to my unpopularity in the regiment.
The President—He can tell us nothing of his own
knowledge.
By the Court (for the prisoner)—Have you ever been
made the subject of practical jokes?
Witness—To the beat of my recollection, never.
Prisoner—Were you ever engaged in a practical joke
against myself?
Witness—To the best of my recollection, never.
Prisoner—Was it not yourself who asked me to go out
one evening' telling me to dress for that purpose, and,
when I had done so, I found my hat all broken ?
Witness—Possibly it was. Ido not recollect.
Major-General Wetherall here announced that he had
received a letter from Colonel Garrett that 30 men and a
subaltern would have to march immediately for embarka-
tion in the Harbinger, and that Lieutenant Dallas was the
officer appointed to go out with them. Before Lieutenant
Dallas embarked, he (Major-General Wetherell) wished to
know whether the prisoner would require the evidence of
Lieutenant Dallas for his defence.
Lieutenant Perry—No, I shall not. I have one or two
questions to ask.
Prisoner—Were you not one of the party at the Linen-
hall Barracks, Dublin, who broke open my door, and made
me get into my tub ?
Witness—l was not.
Prisoner—Have I never kindly volunteered to take duty
from you when nobody else would, as you wished to go
away ?

Witness —I daresay you have.
Lieutenant Forde was then sworn—The charges having
been first read over to him,

ment ?

Witness—One year and eight months.
Prosecutor—Have you ever received ill-treatment at the
hands of Captain Nicholas ?
Witness—l have never.
Prosecutor—ls it within -your knowledge that Captain
Nicholas aids and abets others in annoying young officers,
or that he has aided and abetted others in so doing ?
Witness—l never knew him to. annoy any officer since I
have been in the regiment, or to aid and abet others in so
doing.
Prosecutor—What is the character of Captain Nicholas,
as regards his treatment of young officers?
Witness—l consider him kind and good-natured, espe-
cially to young officers on joining. If I may be allowed
to mention my own case, I received from him, if possible,
on joining the 46th, more kindness and good nature than
from any of the other officers.
Prisoner—Were you ever the subject of practical jokes ;
if so, of what nature were they, how many, and who were
present ?
Witness—l never was, that I can call to my recollection ;
in fact, I may say that I never was.
Prisoner—When you were pulled out of bed, at the
Linen-hall Barracks, Dublin, by Ensign Castles, of the
17th Regiment, how many of our officers were present,
and what did you do ?
Witness—l never was pulled out of my bed by Ensign
Castles, of the 17th Regiment. Ensign Castles and an
officer of the 46th came into my room on one occasion,
about 4 o'clock in the morning. I think Ensign Castles
annoyed me. I got out of my bed and turned him out of
the room.

Prisoner—What did Ensign Castles do, and who else was
present ?

Witness—He apologised to me, after annoying me.
Prisoner—The nature of the annoyance—
The President—l thought so.
Witness—He went on talking for some time, and then
he attempted to pull off the bedclothes. As soon as he did
so, I turned him out of the room. Tho other officer present
was Lieut. Greer.
Prisoner -Were not Curtis, Greer, and Payne, of till
46th, in your room ? Did not Castles pull the clothes off
your bed, catch hold of your arm, and attempt to pull you
out of your bed? Did you not thrust and kick him out of
your room, much to the amusement of the officers of the
46th ?

Witness—l have already stated that there was only one
officer of the 46th present, and that was Lieutenant Greer.
On his attempting to lay hold of the bedclothes, I caught
him and thrust him out of the room.
Prisoner—Did not this occurrence take place the first
night I joined ?
Witness—lt may have. I have not the slightest recol-
lection of the fact.
Prisoner—Are you not aware that, as it was the first
night I joined, I was taken up into your room by the
officers I have named? Was not that the first time you
ever saw me ?

Witness—l have no recollection of having seen Lieut
Perry, on that night, in my room.

Prisoner—To refresh yoUr memory, may I ask you if it
is not a fact that you did not dine at mess that night ?
Witness—l cannot say whether I did or did not dine at
mess that night. It is upwards of a year ago, and I can't
recollect whether I did or did not.
Lieutenant Curtis was then called, and examined on his
former oath, the charges being first read over to him.
Prosecutor—flow long have you been in the 46th Regi-
ment ?

Witness—Nearly four years.
Prosecutor—Have you ever received ill-treatment at the
hands of Captain Nicholas ?
Witness—Never ; on the contrary, great kindness.
Prosecutor--Is it within your •knowledge that Captain
Nicholas aids and abets others in annoying young officers,
or that he has aided and abetted others in so doing?
Witness—l never knew a single instance of such a thing.
Prosecutor—What is the character of Captain Nicholas
as regards his treatment of young officers ?
Witness—He is very kind to all young officers. He was
especially so to myself.
Prisoner—ls your recollection so clear that you can
speak with accuracy as to all the questions just asked of
you, when, on Friday last, you stated that the meeting of
officers had been held, for auditing the mess accounts,
when it afterwards transpired that the meeting was held
for a far different purpose ?
Witness—l totally forgot, when giving my evidence on
Friday, that such a meeting had been held.
Prisoner—Do you recollect the first night I joined,
Fordo's door being broken open, and he taken from his
bed ?

Witness—l do not.
Prisoner—Will you state positively that Ensign Castles,
of the 17th Regiment, then on detachment with the 46th,
at the Linen-hall barracks in Dublin, did not go into
Forde's room for the purpose of "drawing him ?"
Witness—Ensign Castles did go into Lieutenant Forde's
room, but Lieu%pant Forde was not taken from his bed.
Prisoner—What did take place, then, on that occasion ?
Witness—Forde got out of bed, and seeing an officer of
another regiment in his room, thrust him out. Ho said he
did not mind it from officers of his own regiment, but he
would not stand it from officers of another regiment.

that was myself.

and Lieutenant Dallas were present when Waldey's bed-
clothes were thrown out, his bed taken to pieces, every-
thing in the bed-room tossed about, and, in Knapp's room,
hia bedclothes _thrown out of the window, boots filled with
water, everything thrown about, and his bedstead taken
to pieces; and is it possible that you and Lieutenant Dallas
could have done all this unassisted ? •
Witness--I think there were other officers in Waldey's
room, but I forget who they were. I only remember my-
self being engaged in throwing the clothes out of the win-
dow.
It being now 4 o'clock, the Court adjourned until to-
morrow (this day), 'when it is meted that the case for
the prosecution will close.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—It is reported and believed in this town, that an
officer in Lord Beaumont's Regiment of Militia, and lately
in the 46th Regiment of Foot, has, during the sitting of
the present court-martial on Lieutenant Perry, openly de-
