EARTHQUAKES IN SYRIA.

A Meeting of the Merchants and Gentlemen
of the Metropolis was yesterday held at the City
of London Tavern, to consider of the fittest
mode in which relief could, be afforded to the
unfortuunte sufferers of Antioch and its vicinity.
At one o'clock the Loan MAYOR (who should have taicen
the Chair) had not arrived ; and Mr. II UMI4IIIEY MARTIN.
stated to the company, that, being engaged in an important
affair of police at the Alasion.house, his Lordship would not
be able to meet them for half au hour to come. After some

delay,
Mr. Alderman ATKINS was called to the Chair, and briefly
addressed the assembly upon the business of the day. There
was no need, lie said, of eloqu'ence, for the case was one which
svke for itself; 'nor was it necessary that he should describe
the lamentable state of Syria at' the present moment, for that
had been done sufficiently in all the public papers. Much
praise was due to the Gentlemen composing the Levant Corn.
pany, who, the moment they heard of the calamity, had caused
500/. to be distributed among the sufferers,—a benefaction
which, from the promptitude with which it was afforded, did
probably more good than ten times the sum could have done
at a liter period. He was happy to inform the meeting that
the Provisional Committees, aided by the Levant Company,
and by 3001. given by the East India Company, had (over
and above the 1100/. !already distributed) caused 1,000/. to
be remitted upon the strength of future subscriptions. In
Syria, the value of money was much greater than in England.
The smallest donations would be of much importance, because
if so small a sum only as 10,000/. could be raised, it would be
the means of preserving hundreds of thousands of persons from
destruction. The worthy Alderman sat down by observing,
that the money contributed would have the advantage of falling
into excellent hands for distribution ; it would be sent, through
the Levant Company, to Mr. John Barker, their Consul at
Antioch, the greatness of whose exertions on behalf of the dis.
tressed persons could scarcely already besufficiently commended.
Mr. G. lironEnr. (Secretary to the Levant Company) then
read Mr. Barker's printed report of the earthquake at Antioch,
dated the 13th of September, 1822. It describes Aleppo, An.
tioch, and five or six villages totally-destroyed ; 20,000 persons
killed, and at least an equal number injured ; the survivors
without shelter, and almost without food, buffering dreadfully
from' ophthalmia and dysentery. ShockS continue to be felt
frorrutime to time. The Jews have suffered the most as to
lives; but Christians, Jews, and Mahometans, all stand, at
present, in the same deplorable condition.
At this point of the proceedings, the Lord Mayor arrived.
!iris Lordship apologized for his absence (having been engaged
in a public affair of great nicety), and took the chair.
A letter was then read from Mr. Barker, dated the 18th of
November, stating that the shocks still continued at intervals ;
and a further letter, from Theophilus Datibuz' Esq., Treasurer
of the Levant Company, stating that 40,000 plasters (1,0000
had been forwarded to Mr. Barker for distribution, and that
instructions had been sent to Mr. CartwriFht, Consul-General
At Constantinople, directing hint to confer with the Turkish
authorities ;—the money to be shared, as advisable, among the
Sufferers without the least preference or exemption on account of
religions persuasions.
Mr: Alderman Vv.NADLES was satisfied that nothing but the
distant scene of the calamity had prevented it from exciting
even more attention than bad been given to it. Hitherto, how.
ever, it hid been the pride of Great Britain never to limit her
charities either to distance or to nation ; and he , trusted that
the same admirable feeling would display itself on the present
occasion. In the year 1755, when Lisbon was destroyed by an
earthquake, Parliament had instantly voted 100,0001, for the
relief of the sufferers ; and no , doubt, independent of serving
the cause or humanity, the interests:---the commercial interests
particularly—of England were much benefited by such liberal
conduct.

it wax then moved, seconded, and carried unanimously,' as a
resolution,--,t‘ That a subscription be entered into for the bane.
fit of the sufferers at Antioch, and elsewhere, and that this
Meeting does appeal to the Public to support it."
Mr. Alderman AT IMO begged to refer to that passage in
Mr Barker's letter which described the Jews as having suffered
moat severely, ile trusted that upon the respectable gentlemen
of that persuasion in England that fact would not b?, lost.
A Committee was then named, consisting of the ortgidal
Previsional Committee and many other Gentleman standing
high in the city, to conduct and forward the affairs of the sub-
.
seription.

gir It. WlcinAsf suggested the propriety of adding some
Gentlemen of the Jewish persuasion to the Committee.
No one present being authorized to nominate any Gentle-
man, however, it was resolved—" That Gentlemen of the
Jewish persuasion be invited to add themselves to the list."
The subscriptions already received were then stated, which
amounted to a considerable sum.

Mr. HIJOHES, Mr. MARTIN, and Mr. BENJAMIN WEST,
bore witness to the dreadful character of the calamity.
Thanks were voted to the Levant and East India Companies,
for their exertions, and to the Lord Mayor for his conduct in
the chair. It was then resolved that the town and country
'linkers should be requested to receive subscriptions, and that
the resolutions and facts should be advertised in such papers as
the Committeemight deem eligible; and the meeting adjourned
shout half-past three o'elsck.

AN IMPORTANT GENERAL, COURT-MARTIAL,
AT NEW SOUTH WALES.
SYDNEY, NIAY 1, 180'2. —The proceedings of
this General Court Martial 13 flow brought to a
close, his MAJESTY having-been pleased to con.
firm the whole of these extraordinary proceed.
inks ; by which it will be seen that the Court
found itself nut competent to come to a decision
without submitting certnin queries to the Judge.
Advocate. General in England.
GENERAL COURT-MARTIAL.
TRIAL OF CAPT. W. N. WAT KI NS,4BTII REGIMENT or TOOT.
At a General Court-Martial, holden at Sydney, New South
Wales, on the 10th January, 1822, and continued by adjourn-
meats to April2l, 1822, Capt. WI weal NowELL WATxxxs
was arraigned on the following Charges, viz.:—
, First—For having addressed a letter to his Excellency Go-
, vernor Mac tetT Anti:, exhibiting charges against Lieut.-Colonel
rr EnsxtE, without coming through the Commanding Officer,
such conduct being unofficerlike, and a breach of military dis-
cipline.
Second—For having, in a letter addressed to his Excellency
Governor MACQUARIE, dated George Town, November 21,
1821, endeavoured to asperse the character of Licut-Colonel
ERSKINE, his Commanding Officer, in the most serious
manner, by accusing him of the most palpable, malicious, and
vindictive perjury, with a variety of other expressions and ob-
servations contained in said letter highly improper; such con.
duct being ungentlemanlike, unofficerlike,- insubordinate, and
in breach of the Articles of War.
Third—For having addressed a letter to the Captains and
Subalterns of the 48th Regiment, enclosing a copy of a letter of
the 24th June, 1621, to his Excellency Governor Meet/mutt n,
written in the most inflammatory and insubordinate style, re-
flecting strongly upon the character of Lieut-Col. Ensitieru,
his Commanding Officer ; such conduct being unofficerlike,
insubordinate, inflammatory, subversive of all military order,
and in breach of the Articles of War.
The Court having proceeded to take into consideration the
. charges and evidence recorded and set forth in the minutes,
„ find, in coming to judgment, certain points of legal discrimina-
tion and difficulty, in respect of which, not only as affecting
the merits of the present charges, but as involving general
principles of serious weight and influence upon the service, anti
with regard to proceedings before General Courts Martial, it
seems fitting to obtain the most satisfactory information and
advice.
In this respect, therefore, the Court direct, that reference be
made to the Judge Advocate—General in England of such
points of Inquiry as have been specifically approved by the
Court, to be transmitted by the Judge-Advocate, so as thus
best to ascertain what importance and decision may legally
belong to the same; and upon the resolution of which, the
Court would only judge itself warranted in proceeding to
judgment and sentence, But, at the same time, inasmuch as
great delay, owing to the distance of this settlement, will hence
necessarily arise, the Court consider it due to Colonel Erskine
not to keep back, in the mean time, the opinion of the Court :
That the evidence, produced by and on the part of Capt. Wat-
kins, has not afforded the least possible ground for the asseve.
rations of Capt. "'Watkins, or cast the least shadow of reflection
on Col. Erskine, as having been guilty, in detail or invention,
of any, though most trifling, falsehood in the examination al-
luded to ; bits, on the contrary, that Capt. Watkins has entirely
failed in making to appear that Cul. Erskine is justly charge.
able with perjury ; or that, upon the proof adduced, Captain
Watkins would seem to the Court at all warranted In suggest.
ing to his Excellency the Commtuider of the Farces, as having.
ground for any civil proceedings against Col. Erskine, for any
such offence.
The Court further direct, that a copy of this memorandum,
and of the queries to be forwarded to the Judge-Advocate-
General in England, be transmitted 'to his Excellency the
Commander of the Forces, so as fully to advise his Excel-
lency of the premises, with whinn is respectfully left the pro-
propriety of making publicly known the tenor of this especial
memorandum.—Adjourned.
Nell' South Mks, April 14, 11122.
ea--I am directed by the General CourteMartiul now as-
eta bled at this place, 'upon charges exhibited by the Com-
manding officer against a Captain ache Regiment, respectfully,
as Acting Judge-Advocate, to solicit that you will be pleased
to effect that due information and advice may be atlimied the
Court on the following queries, so materially affecting, and
involved in the present charges (a copy of which is inclosed),
as for the Court to have deemed fit, that all further proceedings
should be stayed, until the same shall have been thus referred
and satisfactorily resolved.
FiasT QUERY-1s the Court justified in proceeding to judg.
ment and sentence, where it has been urged by the prisoner
during the whole of the trial, " for having endeavoured to
asperse the character of his Commanding Officer, by accusing
him of perjurye" until all these witnesses, wheresoever they
may be, have been forthcoming and examined by the Court,
whose evidence, it is averred by the prisoner, would prove, in
some instances, the allegations made, and which, from its na-
ture and the general eircinnatatices of the case, appears not to
be so irrelevant as to exclude all possibility of such proof being
adducible?, , .
SECOND QtrEttY—Can an Officer be made chargeable under
the Articles of War in respect of a letter transmitted imme-
diately to thelCommander of the Forces for leave of absence, in
older thus, as suggested, tohave the means of taking civil pro.
ceedings in the Court of King's Bench against his CoMmand-
ing Officer. The charge exhibited suggests the prisoner in such
letter to have endeavoured' to asperse the character of his Com-
mending Officer; such letter being transmitted by the Com-
mander of the Forces to the Commanding Officer, and no pro-
ceedings whatever, civil or military, adopted by either of the
parties before the exhibition of the present charges to the Court
assembled at the instance of the Commanding Officer?
Mini) 9uEnv—Can a charge be supportable against an
Officer for insubordinate and unofficcrlike conduct in respect
of a letter addressed by him to the Captain and Subalterns of
the Regiment, the contents of which only became known by
the prosecutor, his Commanding Officer, causing the seal to be
broken, and the letter to be read at a meeting of the. Officers of
the Regiment, convened by order of the Commanding Officer,
the Officer who had written it being absent ;• when the Cap.
tains and Subalterns so addressed,. had determined not to open,
and therefore to return such letter (the hand-writing of the ad,
dress being recognized), and had committed it for that purpose;
to the Paymaster, who had accordingly direCted and sealed an
envelope, enclosing and returning the letter several daytebefore
the ;laid envelope was OPEN En at the meeting of the Officers,
and the seal of the letter; enclosed also broken, and the contents
read aloud by order of the Commanding Officer, who exhibits
the present charges in respect thereof Til US PUBLISUED anti
charged as reflecting upon his character ?

Head-quarters, Sydney, Apr* 17, Iff22.
Stn--I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your
letter of the 14th inst., conveying to me, by desire of the Gene.
ral Court-Martial now assembled, a copy of an especial memo-
randum inserted in their proceedings, with respect to the charges
Ereferred against Capt. Watkins of the 48th regiment, by,Col.
rskine, commanding that Corps and also a copy of a com-
munication, addressed. by yourself to the J tidge-A dvocate-Ge-
neral in England, as therein referred to. having attentively
pure:led, those documents. and maturely considered their nature
and tendency, and the effect likely to big,roduced on the su-
bordination anti discipline of the Army, should the Court per-
severe in adhering to the Resolution, contained in the memo-
randum therein adverted to and entered on the proceedings, I
must request you will he pleased to convey to the members of
the General Coirri-Martial my entire disapprobation of the
measure they have thus adopted, and that I am decidedly of
opinion that they should proceed to pass judgment on the ri.
saner, is being now too late, my opion, for them to adopt
any other course.
I accordingly request you will be pleased', Sir, to re-assem.
ble the General Court-Martial for the purpose of revising their
proceedingi, and passing sentence on the prisoner, which,,
if they should still decline doing, I must further request that
this letter may be entered on the face of the proceedings of
this Court.

The JuDGE•ADV'OCATF, having immediately
written to explain his motives, on the grounds
which appear in the next Memorandum, produc-
ed the undermentioned answer

'MEMOItANDUM.
On the point referred by the Court, as to being called on
" to revise" at this time , its proceedings," and to proceed to
" pass sentence on the prisoner," the Judge-Advocate has to
submit to the consideration of the Court, that, by the 1:Ith
Article of the 18th Section, it is ruled, "That no sentence
of a tleneml Court Martial shall be put in execution till after
a Report shall have been mate of the whole proceedings to his
Majesty, or to the officer commanding in chief," &c. while
this power is again controuled and limited by the 15th section
of the Mutiny Act, which provides, " That no sentence given
by any Court ffiartial, &c. shall be liable to be revised more
than once ;" hence it seems, that except in the case of a sou-

tence having been awarded to be put in executon, no autho.
rity appears to be vested by the Articles of War, of the Mu-
tiny Act, in the officer empowered to convene General Courts
Martial to direct a revisal
.of the same. The mode of procc-
dure, as the responsibility arisintg upon it is.left, in every other
respect, to remain in charge v:i the Court alone.

Sir—l have the hnnouf to acknowledge the receipt of your
letter of this day, dated four o'clock, and have only in 'reply,
to refer you to my former letter of this day's date, requesting
the General Court-Martial to" be re--assembled ; and that my
lettetuaddressed to you should lie submitted to the Members
when so assembled.

In ca►e you decline to comply with this second requisition,
I shalt direct the President of the General Court-Martial to
re-assemble the Court, for the purpose of conveying my senti-
ments to the Members. I have the honour to be, Sir, your
most obedient Servant,

(Signal) L. 31ACQUARIE.
To the Hon. Mr. Judge-Advocate \Vylde, &c. &c.
The Court determined to revise the proceedings, and pro-
ceeded to consider of the judgment and sentence.
The Court having maturely and deliberately considered the
evidence produced in support of the charges preferred, as
also that adduced and what has been alleged in defence by
the prisoner, have and do adjudge that the prisoner, as to
and in respect of the first and second charges respectively, is
Guilty.
And as to and in respect of the third charge, that the prisoner
is Not Guilty.
And the Court in respect of such judgment have and do ad-
judge further, in sentence, that the prisoner be placed at the
bottom of the list of Captains of his Majesty's 48di Regiment,
and that he lose three years rank in the Army.
Previously to closing the proceedings, the Court judge it fit
to animadvert in strong terms on the various addresses of the
prisoner, couched in general slanderous invectives, while the
Court have to suggest that such obServations would not have
been suffered on the occasion of delivery, or to remain in re-
cord upon the proceedings, but that, in conformity with gene-
ral principles, obtaining on the subject, it seemed fit to await
the present opportunity of remarking upon the same, as long
as the observations did not absolutely wander from the subject
matter of the charges. (Signed)

EXETER COACH ROBBERY.

Almisititv liatisr..---Yesterdny Win. Thomas,
a person of very decent appearance, but tbr some time known
to the Police, was brought before the LoRD ,SlaY on by Marian,
the officer, charged with robbing the Exeter Subscription Coach
of a parcel of Hank-notes to the amount of upwards of 1,100/.
on the 6th of December. The notes were the property of
Messrs. Sparkes and Co. of Exeter. Since the robbery was
committed, Messrs. llankey and Co. the Bankers, who are
connected with the Exeter firm, have been unremitting in their
effiwts to bring the thieves to justice.
The officer stated, that a person named Dennis came to Lim
and said he believed he knew one of the men who robbed the
Exeter coach. Witness accompanied Dennis to a publie.bouee
in Tash-street, Gray's Inn.lane, and there saw the prisoner
drinking with a ,woman ; called him out, and said he wanted
him on suspiCion of the Exeter coach robbery. The prisoner
said he knew_nothing at all about the robbery, and that he
would not go; but the witness laid hold of him, and then he
offered no opposition till he reached the top of Gray's Inn.lane,
when he said, " I am now in Middlesex, and 1 will not go with
you." The witness then forced him into a coach. There were
eleven sovereigns in his pockets, and a small gold watch.
Thomas Dennis, No. 17; Crown-court, Goswell-street, fire.
work.maker, stated, that on the 6th of December, between six
and seven in the evening, as he was going with work to Broad.
street, St. 011es's, he saw the prisoner with-three other men,
near the Old Bell and Crown, Holborn, and knowing them to
e bad characters, watched their movements; the old Salisbury
coach came out of the yard, and the prisoner and-his companions
ran after it; ,but as the coach went on at a quick pace, three of
the men, of whom the prisoner was one, got with speedi into a
coach, near Middle-row, Holborn, and drove after it ; witness,-
who was accompanied by his brother thinking they were about
no good, followed them till they reached Piccadilly ; the Saha-
bury coach turned down a street, which they did not; and the
prisoner :and his friends arrived near the White Horse Cellar
before it, and at once leaped, out of the hackney-coach ; they
were Scarcely out, when up came the Salisbury coach, and atop.
ped at the Gloucester coffee-house. The prisoner's two com.
panions ran up to it, and looked about inquisitively; but it
seemed to be full, anti they left it and ran over to the other
side of the Street, where they were joined by the prisoner.—
At that moment the Exeter subscription coach drove up.
Witness then saw the three men about the Exeter coach.—
The prisoner ran to the oft' sitle of the coach while his two
friends seemed to be handing a lady out at the pavement
side. The guard had a light in his hand, and was looking over
some boxes which lay on the pavement by the hind wheel.
The prisoner at that instant seemed to be on his knees looking
about the coach, and then went to the door-of it and brought
away something like a parcel, which he held to his breast. He
was immediately joined by his two companions, and the three
of them walked on towards Berkeley-street.
Mr. flan BIER __Why did you nut give notice of their Con-
duct at once, as you suspected they were about nothing good?
Witness-4 dki not know whither they were doing right or
wrong..
The Lone MA.Voit said it was extraordiala7v that the wit.
mess should take so much trouble if he did not' hink they were
doing wrong.
Philip Dennis, brattier to the witness just examined, stated
all the above particulars of the conduct of the prisoner from
Holborn up to his departure front Piccadilly.
Mr. HARMER. asked wherher the guardivas spoken to by any
of them..--The witness said not.

Thomas Rowe, a ticket porter, stated that he believed the pri-
saner employed him on the 7th of Dec., at between 10 and II
o'clock in the morning, to get change of some notes. The pri-
toner came up to hini,gave him five 51. notes of lianbury, Tay-
lor, and Lloyd's; told him to get cash for them, and that he
Would wait in Angel. Court, Throgmortori-street, to receive the
money : witness got sovereigns for the notes according to order
and deliveied them to the prisoner, who met him before he got
to Angel-court ; the prisoner then gavehim six Si, notes, saying,
" You may its well get me these six,sl. notes changed at Iloare
and Co.'s ; witness remembered the latter notes were of the
Tavistock Bank ; he got cash for them and brought them to
the prisoner, who paid him a couple of shillings for his trouble;
witness did not see the prisoner count the notes.
The LORD Mavon--" Did itnot appear odd that he should
ask you to bringtlim the money in the street ?"
Siitness—" We sometimes do it for gentlemen who wait at
coffee-houses for us. -I never saw the prisoner before that
morning, and I thought what he asked me to do was improper
at the time; but I had been away from my business three or
four days, and was willing to get what I could, and took no
particuler notice.
The witnesses against the guard of the Exeter coach, who
was committed some time ego, were here asked whether they
knew the prisoner to be the man who asked him for the parcel.
They said they could not identify the prisoner. The ticket.
porter, however, declared, that if there were a hundred men to.
gether, he should think the prisoner was the man who had em-
ployed him.
Mr. Ilan stEn observed, that the guard's ram! received quite
a new. complexion.frotehis-evidence, as it was palpable from
it that there was no understanding between him and the three
persons affected by what had been ,ust stated.
The Solicitor for the prosecution said, that if the bard
Mayor remanded the prisoner, he should move the Judges at
the Old Bailey not to go on upon the indictment against the
guard until next Sessions. Those were his instructions, and
he should act upon them.
The prisoner, upon being asked where he lived, said, that
was not a fair question.—fie was then remanded.
