The Devonshire receiving-ship for Russian prisoners
of war, Lieutenant-Commander J. 111%Lloyd, was towed
to her mooring's at Sheerness, No. 7, yesterday. The
following masters, late commanding Netherlands vessels
that have been taken, have been released by an applica-
tion made to the Admiralty, under date of the 27th of
July last, by Mr. J. W. May, Consul-General for the
Netherlands :—Captain J. L. C. Kolle, of the. Jean
Maria, and Captain H. J. Lever, of the:Alida. Captain
Oostra's name was also given by Captain Hamilton in
their Lordships' letter to the Netherlands' Consul-
General, but, on applying it Sheerness for his release,
no such instructions had reached the Port Admiral from
the Admiralty. Captain Oostra is therefore detained for
the present. A further application has been made for
his release. Some of the Danish captains have com-
plained that they are deprived of the opportunity of
going to London, in order to engage professional persons
to defend their cases for obtaining the release of their
vessels. The Admiralty send them up (under charge)
when their evidence for the condemnation of their vessels
is required, but will not allow them to leave at any other
time to protect their own interests.

LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 1, 1854.

violence committed against him by ether officers of the
regiment.
Witness --- I do not recollect that his complaints amounted
to repeated acts of violence, but he, complained to me on
more than one occasion while the regiment was quartered
in Disblin.
Prosecutor-What was the result of, the complaints
Lieut. Perry made to you, as stated in my first charge ?
Witness—To the best of my recollection, the first com-
plaint came in* the shape of a private note to me when I
was sitting with a number of guests in the apte-room of
the Linen Hall Barraelcs;Ditlilin. It was a hurried hasty
note, complaining that o- cerewere then, or bad been just
before, annoying him in his room. I requested Major
Maxwell either to go himself 'or send the adjutant to see
about it. Major Maxwell told me he had sent the acting
adjutant, who reported after a time, and reported either
to me or Major Maxwell (which of us I do not know, upon
my honour) that the matter was settled.
Prosecutor—l wish to confine my questions and your
answers to what occurred to Lieutenant Perry in his bed-
room. What was the nature of the act of violence of
which Lieutenant Perry complained?
Witness—l do not remember any particular nature of
the complaint, but I think it had reference to patting his
room about. - _
Prosecutor—Did you on that, or on any occasion, re-
proach him, or call him a fool for his pains ?
Witness —I have no recollection of baying on that or any
other 'occasion, reproached him, or called him a fool for
his pains. Had I doiae so, lam sure I must have remem-
bered. I mein for making reports. -
Prosecutor—Did you on that occasion reprimand any
officer for annoying Lieut. Perry?
Witness—Not on that occasion, but on a_stubsequent one.
Prosecutor—Jad you any personal conversation with
Lieut. Perry on that complaint, and after Capt. Maxwell
had reported to you the affair was settled ?
Witness—l think not. I took no further notice of it;
it was supposed not to have come before me.
Tiie prisoner here, in answer to the president, said he
had several questions to put to Col. Garrett; and he asked
for a copy of the charges, as his solicitor was absent, and
had the copy with him.
The President—By all means. (Copy handed in.)
Prisoner (to witness) ---How many times do you think I
complains l either to yourself, or Major Maxwell, or other
officers ?
Witness—l cannot say as to other officers. I can only
speak to those which came to my kuowledge, and which
ware made either to Major Maxwell or Myself. Of that
kind I recollect three cases.
Piisoner—Do you not think it was the duty of senior
officers to attend to any complaints made bhunior officers?
Witness—lf they were intended for the commanding-
officer, but it must-depend very much upon the nature of
the complaints, whether they were sufficiently grave.
Prisoner—Mv being pulled out of my bed nearly every
night, my shirt pulled eff my back, and myself beaten by
an umbrella, is that the nature of a complaint for a com-
manding-officer to take notice of?
Witness-Certainly.
Prisoner—Was my being made to get into my tub, by a
number of officers of the 4iith, and in their presence to be
laughed at; my door burst in, although my servant and
myself endeavoured to prevent the intrusion, by holding
the door against them; was not this a proper matter to be
reported by the senior officers to you ;Colonel Garrett), the
commander of the regiment, if complained of ?
Witness—l think it is of great importance, to prevent
ill-will amongst the officers, by having there brought before
the commanding officer, and therefore something must be
left to the discretion of intermediate officers to settle
matters without referring them ,to the commanding
officer.

SECOND COURT-111.4RTIAL ON LIEUT.

The proceedings of 'this 'remarkable case were resumed
this morning in the officers'„ mess-room at the Infantry
Barracks, Windsor. The Court was presided over by Col.
Thomas Edwin Kelly, of the Provisional Battalion ; Major
lialgettY officiating As Deputy Judge-Advocate.
.Ttie,upening minutes having been read over, and the
Court being sluly constituted,
The Deputy Judge-Advocate announced that Major-
General Wetherell, Deputy Adjutant-General of the
Forces' appeared a,s prosecutor.
Lieut. Jamei Edward Perry appeared in answer to the
charges brought against him, but his legal adviser (Mr.
Darvill, of .Windsor) was not present.
Major-General Wetherell addressed the Court as follows:
—Mr. President and Gentlemen-I-By the desire of Viscount
Hardinge,' I appear before you on behalf of the prosecution;
and.l think it important for the interest of justice to ob-
serve, at the outset, that this Court has been convened by
his lordship, not only with:a view of giving the prisoner
an opportunity of substantiating the charges he is charged
with having made, either by cross-examining the officers
of his regiment, or by any other evidence which he may
be able to adduce, but also with a view of giving Colo-
nel Garrett, and Other officers who are affected by these
statements, an opportunity of meeting them, by an-a
swering on oath, in open Court, any questions that
may be put to them,• either by the Prosecutor' • the, pri-
soner, or the Court. It. appeared to his lordship that
the ends of justice, and the discovery of truth, would
he more satisfactorily attaL,nsil by convening this Court
than by any. investsation qiat could be made twore
Court of riortiry—first, because, before a Court of Inquiry
the witne,ses csubl not be examined on oath; secondly,
beceuS44,ther-attendance of Civil witnesses eauld not be en-
forced; thirdly, because, by the invaiiable custom of the
service, a court of inquiry is a closedsiourt. If, therefore,
the very grave !natters which will be brought before you
to-day were to be inquired into at all, the fitting mode of
doing so seemed to be by arraigning Lieut. Perry before a
t-in courartial; and, as Viscount Harding° felt'it to be his
duty, as General Commanding-in-Chief, to institute as
prompt and searching an inquiry as possible into the truth
of those matters, not only in
.judice to Lieut. Perry, and to
the officers of the 4'ith re4iment generally, but for the
maintenance of good conduct and gentlemanly behaviour
among all the officers of the army holding her Majesty's
cUmunssion, I may perhaps be • permitted to. observe that
all these ends will be best attained by your conceding to
the prisoner, throughout his trial, the largest measure of in-
dulgence that can reasonably be permitted to a prisoner con-
sistently with regularity of procedure, and by entering on
the inquiry with minds entirely free from any prejudice,
either one way or the other. But while I feel•it to be my
duty respectfully to recommend you to approach this inquiry
in aspirit which willbe the very reverseof vindictive against
the prisoner, I also feel myself called upon to state, on be- '
half of Col. Garrett and the other officers of the 46th Regi-
ment, whom these proceedings most nearly concern, that
they expressed an anxious wish to have an immediate and
fully inquiry instituted into the various matters alleged
against them by the prisoner, either by a court of inquiry
or by a court-martial, or in such other manner as Viscount
Hardinge might deem expedient. I shall now proceed, as
briefly as possible, to give you an outline of the matter which
will be brought before you on the part of the prosecution.
The prisoner is charged in the first and second instances
with having knowingly made certain false statements re-
specting his commanding officer, Colonel Robert Garrett.
guilty of positive actsof gross injustice; aud, in the second
Colonel Garrett is alleged, in the first place, to have been
place, he is impliedly charged .with having been kept in
the path of his duty by threats of exposure conveyed to
him by the prisoner. This letter was directed to Colonel
Upton, the president of the court-martial ou Lieutenant
Thomas Fergus Greer; and although it is not in the hand-
writing, it bears the signature of Lieutenant Perry. Colo-
nel Garrett will be called, and all the officers of the regi-
ment, with the exception of Lieutenant Greer, and the
officers who have recently embarked for the seat of war in
the East (Captains O'Toole and Hardy, Lieutenants Sher-
vington and Knapp, and Ensigns Helyer and Townshend),
and the Court will judge from their evidence whether the
charges are proved or otherwise. In the third and fourth
instances, where Captain Nicholas is charged with grave
misconduct by the prisoner, the fact of the charge having
been made will be proved by a certified extract from the
records of the Judge Advocate-General; the original
minutes cannot be produced before this Court. The fact
of the first and second instances, of charges made by Lieut.
Perry, will be proved by' the production of the letter in
question. On -the part of the prosecution, I may say that
numerous witnesses will be called before you, and it is my
desire that the prisoner should have every reasonable lati-
tude in cross-examination. I shall forbear making any
further observations. Whether all or any of the several in-
stances are proved by the evidence will depend upon the
judgment of the Court.
. The witnesses were all here ordered to withdraw.
James Hampson, orderly-sergeant of the 46th, was then
called and sworn, and the charge (which appeared in our
impression of yesterday) having been read, deposed as
follows :

Mr. Darvill, the solicitor to the prisoner, here arrived.
Prisoner—When I complained to you of the treatment
from Cartels and others, did you not call me a fool
for bothering you, and say I was like a child just escaped
from his mother's apron strings ?
Witness—Certainly not : I am sure I should have recol-

lected, if I had so said, that is, to Lieut. Perry.
Prisoner—What expressions did you make use of to-
wards me, in the presence of Cartels, Escott, and Adjutant
(now Captain) Sandwith, after my complaint ?
Witness—l hardly think I made any observations to
him ; but I think my observations were addressed to the
officers against•whom he complained generally.
Prisoner—Then do you undertake distinctly to deny
that you ever said the words I name in the presence of any
one ?

Witness—l really don't think I ever did. It is a long
time ago. I cannot charge my memory with ever having
made that observation.
Prisoner—Will you undertake to swear you did not ?
Witness—l am on my oath.
Prisoner—Do I understand you to swear that you did
not?

The following letter was then read :
"To Colonel the Hon. Arthur 1313
Court-Martial ton, President of the
" Sir,—lt has been communicated to me that, since I gave
my evidence, Major Maxwell has been called by Lieut. Greer
rather to impeach the truth of my evidence than to speak to
any substantive part of the present charge, and I beg most
respectfully, as I can expect no support from the prosecu-
tor (which last words were emphacised), to submit to
your honourable Court that if I had been permitted, in mY
own defence, and in vindication of my word and truth-
fulness, to have cross-examined Major Maxwell, I should
have been in a situation to bring to kis recollection cir-
cumstances upon which he appears to be unfortunately
oblivious. I may further submit, that the addition that
I, on Saturday, was anxious to have made to my evidence
would have brought to light the following facts :—First,
That after repeated acts of violence by other officers of the
46th, while the regiment was
quartered in Dublin, I re-
ported the circumstances to Colonel Garrett, who re-
proached me, and called me a fool for roy pains. Secondly,
I then patiently subinitted to a series of similar indignities,
when I complained to Major Maxwell, who represented the
facts to Colonel Garrett, upon which he
gave the offenders
a reprimand. So weak was the effect of the reprimand
or caution given by. Colonel Garrett, that though
the acts
of aggression were discontinued, yet I was persecuted in
other ways, until I threatened to appeal to the general of
the district, and sent a letter to that effect to Colonel
Garrett. I was earnestly entreated by several of my
repe-
tition o the annoyances and indignities under which I
had formerly laboured. I may also add, that lam pre-

Colour-serjeant John Ellis called and sworn.
OProsecutor—Are you acquainted with the handwriting
f Lieut. Perry ?
Witness—Not particularly.
Prosecutor—Are yciti iii the habit of seeing him write ?
Witness—l am in the habit of seeing his signature.
Prosecutor—This is a letter which has been handed in to
the Court and received as evidence ; is the signature to
that letter in the handwriting of Lieut. Perry ?
Witness—l should say to the best of my knowledge it is.
ture, and on what occasion ? _
By the prisoner—Did you ever see me write my signs-

Witness—l will swear as positively as a man's recollec-
tion can go. My firm conviction is that I did not.
The Court was then cleared for 20 minutes. On. the re-
admission of the public,
The President said the Court had decided not to put the
last question handed in by Lieut. Perry.
The prisoner said he wished to save the time of the
Court by handing in a statement. The Court was again
cleared, and, oh the re-admission of the public, the Presi-
dent said the statement was inadmissible.
The cross-examination of Col. Garrett was then resumed.
Prisoner—Have you, in any instance, used reproachful
language to other officers, after their complaining of being
pulled out of their beds?
Witness—l could answer the question ; but as it does
not bear upon the case of Lieut. Perry. I beg to decline.
Prisoner—Did you not, after reporting the case of Cur-
teis, call me the malefactor? And was I not afterwards
called the in defactor by my brother officers, and was not I
shunned by my brother officers in consequence?
Witness—l did not call you malefactor. I have heard
the term malefactor used, but I am not certain whether it
applied to-Lieutenant Perry, or to another officer who has
since left the regiment. I cannot say that his company
was positively shunned, but he was not on such intimate
terms with the rest of the officers as others. He has not.
been under my command since December, when he was
sent on detachment.

Prisoner—Did you not, in the ante-room, sitting over
your grog, call me a malefactor, before Lieutenant Knapp?
Witness—l have no recollection of it.
After a few more questions of the same character, the
Court adjourned; Colonel Garrott being still under ex-
amination.

1 It is not improbable, considering the infamous treatment
to which young officers in the 46th were undoubtedly
• subject, that captains Lad assisted and colonels connived
at it, nor that the victim, driven to desperation, should
have threatened an appeal to the General of the district.
Where suah.things take place, the mommanding officer is
sure to be in fault; and the very injustice with which Mr
Perry is 'now persecuted shows how little he has to hope
from the,inen a hose position constituted-then' hisnatural
protectors. If. there was to be a second investigation,
and we are far froth denying its justice, the prisoner
ought`tc; have been, not Lieut. Perry, -but the•Colenel
commanding the regiment; and a man once wrong accused
ought not to have been "a second time -Subjected to a
contest in which all the power that rank; influence, and

consideration of a charge which had only been delivered
to the accused that morning. 151aj.lr Maiwell and
Captain Nicholas, two of the principal witnesses to be
called against Mr. Perry, were most impropeily allowed
to be present. His statement that borne of the witnesses
he wished to call were in Turkey was received by the
COurt with a laugh, and a jocular remark that they
