AIISCELLANEOUS.

It is in contemplation to erect a, new set of barracks
at Milibay, for the accomAtddation of the marines, ren-
dered necessary by,the augmentation of this division of
the corps, which it is unddrstooil will permanently num-
ber •1,600 men. The present barracks at Stonehouse
holds 600 men.; during_ peace more than treble that
numher.:might have to be provided for.
On Thursday last, Messrs: Clift And Drew, contrac-
tors. of Plymouth, were informed by the Ordnance
Board that their tender for constructing a basin and an
'embankment at Bull Point: Powder Magazine for
46,4721. had been accepted.' The works are to be com•
menced forthwith.

THE LATE COURTS-MARTIAL.

WINDSOR, Sunday Night.-The friends of Lieutenant
Perry are about. to petition her Majesty the Queen,
Praying that she may be graciously pleased to order the
entire proceedings of the late courts-martial to be 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 he
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 of two lieutenants from other regiments. Lieut.
Connell and Lieut. the Hon. Mr. Herbert (the brother
of the Earl of Carnarvon) have, in all probability, passed
through the ordeal of 'drawing" and bed-smashing,
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 them will get a step for the present. There
is nothing remarkable in Mr. Connell going from the
t
3d West India Regiment to a regiment of the line ;ill:.
some surprise has been expressed at the Hon. M
bert exchanging from the 43d to the 46th. The
