The DESERTERS at NOTTINGHAM.

At five o'clock on Monday evening, fifteen out of
the twenty-seven that escaped on Sunday night from
the barracks remained uncaptured. At that hour
the deserters met in a body on the London-road. A dis-
patch was immediately sent to head-quarters, and a
body of about fifty soldiers were ordered in pursuit.
At six o'clock the deserters were at a village about a
mile from Nottingham, accompanied by an
immense mob of the lower orders, by
whom they were loudly cheered. Indeed, throughout
the whole of this disgraceful affair, the
mob has taken part with the deserters, and thrown
every possible obstacle in the way of the parties
sent to apprehend them. At half-past six o'clock
the proper authorities passed through the village
in rapid pursuit; and not coming up with the
objects of their search, the troop was disbanded
into small parties, and scoured the country for two
or three miles round. The deserters were at length
discovered near the Nottingham meadows, and, after
a smart skirmish, eight of the refractories were
taken, and instantly conveyed to the barracks. It is
but justice to say that the parties engaged in the
capture of the insurgents have acted in the most
forbearing manner, and that they have only used
stringent means when all others failed. We under-
stand the whole affair arose out of the late holiday
(Nottingham fair). About sixty of the regiment
spent too much of their time at the fair, and neg-
lected to attend properly to their horses ; and Colonel
Arthur, a gentleman highly esteemed, not only by
his men, but also in the town, as a punishment, re-
solved to confine the delinquents to the barracks.
On Sunday the whole sixty had agreed to
leave the barracks by force, but when the
time arrived only twenty-seven appeared at
the call of the leader. The barrack-yard
postern was smashed to atoms, and other disgraceful
acts committed ere the deserters got clear away.
TUESDAY EVENING, EIGHT O'CLOCK.—Up to this
hour five of the insurgents connected with the riot on
Sunday night remain uncaptured. The picquet were
engaged in an active pursuit all last night, and about
eleven o'clock succeeded in capturing one of the ring-
leaders, about a mile south of the town ; another has
been taken to day, so that five only now remain at
large. The one that was captured on Monday bad
taken refuge in a public-house, in one of the low parts
of the town. He was discovered in bed, dressed in
female attire. Reports are very current in the town
that there has been for some time an indifferent feeling
subsisting between some of the -officers and the men,
and that the approaching court-martial will bring to
light the reasons for such ill-feeling; and, it is to be
hoped, settle all differences.
N9TTINGHAM, THURSDAY.—The excitement occa-
sioned in this town by the misconduct of the Sd
Dragoon Guards has somewhat subsided, giving way
to gossip respecting the future punishment of the
delinquents, all of whom, except two, who made their
escape on Tuesday morning, have been apprehended
by picquets which scoured the town and neighbour-
hood. Many of the refractory men had but recently
enlisted, and as such have been summarily dealt with.
The others, who are suspected of having taken leading
parts in the insubordination, will be tried by martial
law; and yesterday the colonel of the regiment, the
Earl Cathcart, arrived in Nottingham, by special
orders, from Glasgow, for the purpose of forming $
court, which is to be opened as soon as the neces-
sary evidence has been collected against the offenders.
