COURT-MARTIAL AT CHATHAM.

At the close of the afternoon parade of the troops at
garrison, on Saturday, the 10th inst., under Lieutenant-
Colonel Kelly, the provisional battalion was formed into
a square in the general parade-ground, for the purpose
of hearing the proceedings of a district court-martial
held at Chatham barracks on the 6th, upon the trial of
Colour-Sergeant William Gordon, No. 220, of the 18th
Regiment of Foot, who was arraigned under the follow-
ing charges :-
1. For disgraceful conduct in having at Chatham, in
or about the month of November, 1845, applied to or
asked Mr. John Marks, foreman to Mr. Solomon Lucas,
outfitter at Chatham, and so sought to obtain from the
said Mr. Lucas c. gratuity, fc.r, &racoon., or ro.:—...kage?
upon the amount charged to the troops for all articles of
regimental necessaries proposed to be furnished by the
said Mr. Lucas, for the use of the soldiers of the depot
of the 18th Foot.

2. For having at Chatham, in or about the month of
December, 1845, bargained or consented to receive from
Mr. Lucas, outfitter, at Chatham, a gratuity, fee, dis-
count, or per tentage on the amount charged to the
troops, upon all articles of regimental necessaries and
equipments proposed to be supplied by the said Mr.
Lucas for the use of the soldiers of the 18th Foot.

The Adjutant of the battalion, Lieutenant William
Maycock, 61st Regiment. read the proceedings in the
presence of the prisoner and the troops ' • and the Court
having weighed and maturely considered the evidence in
support of the prosecution, decided that the accused
has " Not Guilty" of any part of the charges that had
been preferred against him, and acquitted him thereof.
The same has been approved and confirmed by order of
the Commander-in-Chief. On the dispersion of the
troops to the barracks, Sergeant Gordon was congratu-
lated both by the officers and non-commissioned officers
of the garrison.

In consequence of the above trial, the following bat-
talion order was issued late on Saturday afternoon last :
Jan. 10, 1846—N0. 1. Officers commanding depots
are called on to pay unceasing attention to the
Queen's regulations and orders for the army regarding,
the supplies of necessaries to the men of their respec-
tive depots, more particularly to articles 29, 34, 35, and
38 ; and they are required to use every means in their
power to ascertain that their pay-sergeants do not, in
the slightest degree, act contrary to these important re-
gulations. Any infringement of these orders, which the offi-
cers may be able to discover, must be reported immediately,
it being the determination of the officer commanding
the battalion to bring to trial aey pay-sergeant who may
be guilty of so serious an offence. In order to prevent
not only any clandestine infringement by pay-sergeants
of article 38 beforementioned, but to remove any suspi-
cion of such improper conduct, officers commanding
depots are recommended to purchase the necessaries for
the men occasionally at different houses, taking care, on
every occasion, that all articles come furnished of the
best quality and at the lowest prices ; all requi!it!ovnst.ii)er
orders to their tradespeople are to be
under any circum-
stances commanding depots, and

are to be marched there and back duner a non-com-
missioned officer, not a pay-sergeant, with written in-
structions for such tradespeople. The pay-sergeants
are not, on any occasion whatever, to go the houses or
shops of the tradespeo ile who furnish artic!es of neces-
saries to the depots. Officers commanding depots are
referred to No. 6 of the battalion orders of the 24th of
March, 1841, and republished at the foot of the morning
battalion order of the 10th of November, 1841, regard-
ing the care and attention to be given by them to par-
ticular points at the inspection of every shell jacket on
the individual before being finally issued to any non-
commissioned officer or soldier. The constant zeal and
attention which is so necessary on the part of officers
commanding depots, Colonel Weare feels assured will
not be wanting on the part of those serving in the pro-
visional battalion to enable him to give the fullest effect
to the regulations and orders of the army; and to a
letter, dated Horse Guards, the 31st of December last,
which was real to them in the presence of the Com-
mandant, regarding the important subject of supplying
necessaries to troops, which are so well calculated to
give every benefit to non-commissioned officers and men
under their command respectively."

DESTRUCTION OF A COTTON-SPINNING MILL BY
FIRE.—The most destructive fire which has occurred in
Glasgow or its vicinity, for several years put, with the ex-
ception of that which consumed the City Theatre about two
months ago, took place yesterday (Friday) morning, in
Savoy-street, Bridgton. The workers in the large cotton-
spinning factory situated in that street, belonging to Messrs.
Gemmel!, Brothers, and Co., it appears, had only com-
menced their labours for the week a short time, when an
alarm of fire was raised in the picking-room, and in the
course of ten minutes the flames had made such a p_Te-
gress that they were coming out of the windoTrat

The engines were set to work, however, with great energy,

The work of destruction was almost completed by ten
o'clock, but the engines continued to throw water upon
the burning ruins till sunset. The mill was four stories
high, and about 230 feet in length, and it is estimated that
the loss on the building and machinery will amo "r
