MORE TROOPS AND TRANSPORTS FOR THE

WAR.
There is a report in circulation that 6,000 more troops
are to be despatched to the East, as soon as they can be
got ready.
The Government have hired the Mauritius, another
of the splendid iron 1800-ton screw-steamers of the
General Screw Company, for conveyance of troops and
stores. The supercession of the sailing ships by such
ships as the Perseverance, Urgent, Golden Flece,
Mauritius, &c., is a wise and economical measure.
Whilst it was possible that a demonstration could effect
a pacification, it was, perhaps, advisable to have sail-
ing transports rather than ,to purchase ,or build screw
ships for their own service ; but now that we have, or
are about to have, no less than 100,000 soldiers engaged
in actual occupation of an enemy's country, we must
have as Government property the means of transport
and supply for thig great army.
SAPP

ERS AND MINERS FOR TURKEY.

to join the sth company, which is to proceed to Corfu,
and there to complete its full establishment. It is to be

Lieut.-Col. Ainslie, 7th n Guards, has now as.
Burned the command of the cavalry brigade in Duhlin,
and we consider him quite equal to Major-General Lord
Cardigan, who for so long held the same. Col. Ainslie
was, for some time, attached to the Prussian Army, and
his work on field drill is, we hope, generally known.
The 51st Regiment and the 94th were inspected by
Major-General M. Beresford, on the parade ground of
Chatham Barracks. Both regiments, considering that
they have very recently returned from India, are in first-
rate military order; and the Major-General complimented
the commanding officers of each corps on the very effi-
cient state of the officera and non-commissioned officers
and men under their command. The 51st are under or-
ders to proceed to Manchester.

THE MILITIA AND YEOMANRY.
The Essex Rifles, Colonel Lord Jocelyn, have received
orders to hold themselves in readiness to leave the
Tower on Tuesday. It has not been officially stated,
but it is confidently asserted that the regunent proceeds
to Windsor. The 4th South Middlesex, Lieutenant-
Colonel Bagot, now embodied at Hounalovv, according
to present arrangements, relieves the Essex Ritie:i at the
Tower. A great many volunteers have joined the Essex
Rifles within the last few days.

expressed to the men his great satisfaction at their effi-
ciency.

THE WINDSOR COURTS-MARTIAL.

ACQUITTAL OF LIEUT. PERRY ON THE
FIRS "C CHARGE.

WINDsox, Thursday Nigh t.—This morning an express
arrived from the Horse Guards, bearing despatches an-
nouncing the final decision on the charge of assault
brought against Lieutenant Perry and tried before
Colonel the Hon. James Lindsay, M.P., and a general
court-martial, at the Infantry Barracks, Windsor, on the
12th, 13th, and 14th ult. A. respectful application to
Col. Garret (through the adjutant of the regiment) met
with the following reply—that the colonel had, per-
sonally, no objection to the publication of the docu-
ment, but he did not feel himself at liberty to fur-
nish a copy, or allow it to be copied. He added
that Lieutenant Perry had been supplied with a copy,
and he had no doubt would gladly afford every facility
for its publication. Lieutenant Perry, who is on his
parole of honour, and is understood to have been busily
engaged all day preparing his defence at the private
re,idence of his solicitor (Mr. Darvill), the Hatch,
near Maidenhead, was also applied to, but, for seine
inexplicable reason, bad returned no answer up to the
time when the report was despatched. The decision
was read over to the officers of the 46th this morning
and communicated to Lieut. Perry about midday, he
having come to the barracks for the purpose of receiving
it, immediately after which he returned to the Hatch.
The substance of the decision was as follows :—The
first cmrt-martial found Lieut. Perry guilty of the
charge, and sentenced him to be dismissed from the ser-
vice. The Judge Advocate-General, however, on cue-
fully perusing the evidence, found that certain que,tione
had been put which ought to have been rejected, ald car,
tain evidence refu-ed that Ought to have been taken ; aid
the right hon. gentleman recommended her Maje ty not to
confirm the sentence. The sentence was unconfirmed,
and Lieut. Perry consequently released from the charge.
Thu protest handed in yesterday, and rejected by the
court, was to the effect that Lieut. Perry wanted only
his own letter and Lieut. Shervinion's reply, in order
that he might cross-examine Captain Campbell upon
them, and he protested against any other letters being
received or entered upon the minutes. The court, after
deliberation, decided that the letters all referred to one
transaction, and that the whole or none of them should
be read. The whole of thorn were read and entered
upon the minutes.

- Yesterday Lieut. Greer, on the application of Mr. G.
H. Long, his solicitor, was released from arrest, on his
parole of honour, and now enjoys the same privileges as
Lieut. Perry. The final decision in Lieut. Greer's case
has not yet arrived, but is daily expected.
The friends of Lieut. Perry speak confidently of their
ability to prove the whole of the charges contained in
his letter to Colonel Upton, as well as those in his evi-
dence, and letter to Colonel Pipon, relative to Captain
Nicholas, and the defence is looked forward to with in-
tense interest.
