COURT-MARTIAL ON CAPTAIN ItAINES, 77TH REGIMENT.
Horse-Guards, Aug. 11, 1836.
SlR,—Having had the honour to lay before the King the
revised proceedings of a general court-martial held at I.llul-
- on the 15th day of June, 1836, and continued, by ad-
journments, to the 18th of the same month, for the trial of
Captain J. R. Raines of the 77th Regiment, together with
the decision of the Court, after its re-assembly on the 21st
of July following, viz.:—
" The Court-martial having carefully revised the evidence
on the first charge, and having also considered the grounds
upon which the Court has been ordered to revise their find-
ing on that charge ; viz., that whereas the general finding
of guilty of the whole of the first charge could not be legally
sustained, inasmuch as no evidence was adduced at the
trial in support of the allegation that the imputation was
false, of which the form and substance of that charge, in
point of law, requires proof the Court, upon the before-
mentioned grounds, does find that the first charge has not
been legally proved. The Court, therefore, reverses its
former finding on that charge, and acquits the prisoner of
the first charge. _ _

" The Court having acquitted the prisoner, Captain
J. R. Raines, of the first charge, and having found him
guilty of the second charge, adheres to their former sen-
tence, and adjudges that the prisoner, Captain J. R. Raines,
of the 77th Regiment, be dismissed from his Majesty's ser-
vice.

" The Court most humbly solicits his Majesty's favour-
able consideration of their former recommendation in behalf
of the prisoner."

I have to acquaint you that his Majesty was pleased to
approve and confirm the finding and sentence of the Court.
In consideration, however, of the earnest recommenda-
tion of the Court, and the very stronc, testimonials upon
which that recommendation is founded, his Majesty was
pleased to extend his most gracious pardon to the prisoner,
with a view to his being allowed to retire from the service
by the sale of his commission.—l have &c.
(Signed) HILL, General Commanding-in-Chief.
Major-General Sir Edward Blakeney. K. C. 8., &e., Dublin.

Staff Assistant Surgeon John Watkins, whose name ap-
peared in the last monthly obituary, died at Graham's-
town, Cape of Good Hope, after amputation of the arm,
which he had dislocated in playing rackets. A fall from
his horse subsequently fractured the same arm, and ren-
dered amputation necessary, of which he unfortunately
died.—Limerick Courier.

Major Maclean, 72d Regiment, who was put in arrest at
the Cape of Good Hope last spring by Lieutenant-Colonel
Smith, deputy-quarter-master-general, for neglect or dis-
obedience of orders, was brought before a military tribunal
at King William's-town, and admonished.

It was stated at the Newton Dinner on Thursday,
that the bishopric of Manchester, had been offered to a relation
of Mr. Stanley, the Under-Secretary for Ireland, and refused.
Lieutenant Holman, R.N., the enterprising blind
traveller, arrived at Moville, county Donegal, on the 27th ult.,
by the Robert Napier steamer, on a visit to his early friend
Dr. Irvine. He is described as a most delightful and inter-
esting companion, and had been waited on by all the families
round.—Hampshire Telegraph.

Monday morning a dreadful accident occured to a
lad, named Joseph Paxton, fourteen years of age, in the em-
ploy of Mr. Rummell, of Golden-lane, St. Luke's, cotton-factor.
The unfortunate boy was attending a machine worked by
steam, when his left hand got entangled in some cotton, and,
with his arm, was drawn between two cog-wheels; the bones
of the hand and arm up to the elbow-joint were completely
smashed, and on conveying the sufferer to St. Bartholomew's
hospital amputation just below the shoulder was immediately
performed. From the shock the whole system has received
the life of the boy is considered in great danger.
Mr. Beckford, late of Fonthill, now of Lans-
downe-crescent, Bath, whose ardour for collecting articles of
vertu, splendid pictures, and rare books, notwithstanding the
advanced period of his life, is still undiminished, has taken and
added the adjoining house in the Crescent to his own, to enable
him to arrange and display his invaluable collection of gems
and pictures, for which there was not room in hi 3 old residence.
His son-in-law and his grandson, the Duke of Hamilton and
the Marquis of Douglas, have recently been staying some days
with Mr. Beckford.
