MISCELLANEOUS.

It is in contemplation to erect a new set of barracks
at Millbay, for the accommodation of the marines, ren-
dered necessary by the augmentation of this division of
the corps, which it is understood will permanently num-
ber 1,600 men. The present barracks at Stonehonse
holds 600 men ; during peace more than treble that
numher!might have to be provided for.
On Thursday last, Messrs. Clift and Drew, contra°.
tors of Plymouth, were informed by the Ordnance
Board that their tender for constructing a basin and au
embankment at Bull Point Powder Magazine for
46,472/. had been accepted. The works are to be nom•
menced forthwith.

The Enrolled Pensioners for the Western district as-
semble for exercise, &c., at the Long Room, Stonehouse,
this day (Monday), the 11th Sept., under the command
of Lieut.-Colonel Trevor, Lieut.-Colonel Mountstevin,
and Major Russell.
THE MILITIA.—The Pembroke Dockyard Battalion
have received their new uniform and been inspected by
Lieutenant-Colonel Laing. The brigade consists alto-
gether of six companies of artillery, numbering about 700
rank and file. They went through a variety of evolu-
tions and manoeuvres, all of which were executed with
rapidity and precision. Lieutenant-Colonel Laing, and
also Majors Child and Bonniwill, expressed their ex-
treme satisfaction.
FALMOUTH, Sunday.—A frigate, supporta to be the
Inconstant, passed Falmouth yesterday at noon, from
Plymouth for Cork. The Transport, No. 18, was off
here on Friday bound eastward.

THE LATE COURTS-MARTIAL.

i o—n
herhe Majesty friendsof Lieutenant
the
Queen,
praying that she may be graciously pleased to
to toorbe
order the
entire proceedings of the late courts-martial
sub-
mitted to the consideration of the judges of the land, and
that her Majesty will then give her final and impartial
decision on their view of the merits of the case. When
the sentence of dismissal was first communicated to
Greer, he was deeply affected, and immediately left the
barracks for the White Hart Hotel, to which place be
ordered his baggage to be sent. Perry's baggage re-
mained until Friday last, when he visited the barracks
for the last time, and superintended the removal of the
effects. The Gazette announcement, which reached here
yesterday morning, took every one by surprise, as it
was thought the two vacant lieutenancies would have
been purchased by the two oldest ensigns ; but there are
obvious reasons why the usual course should have been
departed from in the present instance, by the appoint-
ment cf two lieutenants from other regiments. Lieut.
Connell aril Lieut. the Hon. Mr. Herbert (the brother
of the Earl of Carnarvon) have, in all probability, passed
through the ordeal of ' idrawing" and bed-smashingt
and will be free from such annoyances in the 46th.
The ensigns of the 46th will also be kept as they were;
not one of thorn will get a step for the present. There
is nothing remarkable in Mr. Connell going from the
3d West India Regiment to a regiment of the line ; II"
some surprise has been expressed at the Hon. Mr. Her
bert exchanging from the 43d to the 46th. Tatonn,
and gallant gentleman will probably gain ianii„d a pre-
point of view, inasmuch as he most likely
theilia regulation 73_,
d while he
rnium on the sale of his commission in
would receive Greer's commission at
price-7501.
