A court-martial has been held at Chatham Gar-
rison on a driver of the Royal Engineer Train,
named George Hamilton, a man of exceedingly bad
character, for desertion. The prisoner deserted un-
der very aggravated circumstances, and disposed of
the whole of his kit for a trifling amount. On a pre-
vious occasion he was tried for desertion, and was then
sentenced to a long term of imprisonment, and to be
marked with the letter" D." The proceedings and
finding of the Court were yesterday read out to the
officers and men on parade, the prisoner being sen-
tenced to be again marked with the letter D, to be
imprisoned for 168 days, and to be placed under
stoppages until the value of his kit is made good.
He will undergo his term of imprisonment in Fort

BONAPARTIST INTRIGUES IN GERMANY.—For
several years past the Goveinment of Louis Napoleon have
kept a number of literary agents, or censors, at Lcipzic,
Frankfort, and Munich, whose duty it was to note down
everything injurious to Napoleonic interests which occur-
red in the press or in any new book or pamphlet edited in
Germany. This system, we understand, has now been per-
fected. Instead of a mere literary espionnage,do
