CORPORAL PUNISIIMENT ON A.MARINE.—CHATHAM,
MAY I.—This morning the whole of the battalion of the
Chatham division of Royal Marines assembled on the
Parade Ground, in the presence of Colonel Charles
Menzies, K.H., and other officers, to hear the sentence
read of a General Court-martial held last week on
private Robert Taylor, of the 45th company of this
division, for refusing to perform punishment of seven
days' general extra duty awarded him for a former
offense. The Court convicted the prisoner, and sentenced
him to receive 50 lashes, and to be imprisoned and kept
to hard labour for six months. The prisoner was then
removed to the rear of the barracks, and he was followed
by the battalion to witness the infliction of the corporal
punishment. The first 25 lashes he evidently did not
like, as he hallooed most unmercifully; however, on his
being released from the halberts, after he had received
the other 25 lashes, he laughed heartily, and acted the
bravado. He has only been in the corps 14 months, and
during that time he has been repeatedly punished for
disobedience of orders. The prisoner was removed under
charge of a military escort; and as soon as he is able he
will be removed to the military prison, Fort Clarence,
to complete his sentence.

SINGULAR INSTANCE Or SAGACITY.—A pony, the
property of a farmer in the parish of Methlic, on being
taken from the pasture one evening lately, became very
restive, and made its escape from the servant, and ran
off to the smithy at which it bad been accustomed to
be shod. The blacksmith, who knew the pony, was
about to adopt some means of securing and restoring it
to its owner, when, to his astonishment, it came directly
towards him, and, turninground,
hind feet, which the blacksmithe held up one of itsxamined, and found
which being a
stone between the shoe and the
hoof,
re-
moved, the pony walked back to
its pasture with seem-
ing delight that the incuaibrance was taken away.—
