Gerlttiii Court Martial was held at Nl,lsititiur4ti
C‘imp, for the trial of Lieutenant,Wita. tAM 1)11)1z
BAP. ROZItItTEOII, of-the Edinburgh Militia, anal
charge preferred against
_hil br qapt,
SON, of 'the same Regiment, purporting, " that,
the zgth of August last, on. Musselliurgh Linktp
where the Regiment is, encamped, Lieut. Roneßie.
;ON, after the morning parade, followed Capt. Wit,-
Ltnatsox to his stable, distant nearly one mile from
tne encampment§ where Lieut. R. was guilty of the
must scandalous, inCitnous, and iinsoldier.like
dtia, unbecoming the character of an Officer and a
Genileman, by attempting to draw 'his sword, arid
afterwards to bite Capt. Wri L AMsON. These of-
fencesAvere committed when Capt. W. was in plain
cloatlis, and unarmed, and are contrary to the Arti-
cles of War."
The Court found Lieut. Ron ERTSON not guilty
of " scandalous and infamous behaviour, in attempt-
ing to draw his sward upon Capt. Wri.LIMISON, or
to bite They at the same rimerwere of opi-
nion, that the condutt of both Officers was extremely
improper, and prejudicial to good order and military
discipline, and sentenced Lieut. ROBERTSON to be
reprimanded, in such manner as Lieut. General
Vyst:, commanding the Forces in North Britain,
should dirett.. •

Firs Ma) it ST r has expressed his approbation, both
of the opinion and sentence of the Court, as well
with' respeet to the Prosecutor as the Defendant, and
has direOed General Virst to notify the tame in
general orders within the Mu-id under his com.
m4nd, " which, without a distinct reprimand of
either of these Officers, will operate as an intima.
tion of the sense lits MAJrsrr entettains of the
extreme impropriety of the conduit of botht"

MANX FISHERY.—.!The accounts from the Isle
of Mann, respeding the Herring-fishery are of the
most,tavoureble nature. It had been auccessful in
et considerable degree foe same nights previous to
Wednesday last, but the
,take of full oet that night
was. the most abundont ever known in, the memory
of the oldest person living. There 'were several
',mats which caught from eighty to a hundred maze
each. The whole number taken is supposed to be
not less than five millions and a half, and the weight
upwards of eight hundred tons 1 The estimate of
fish sold at Douglas on Thursday morning (at 3e. 41.

Some years before mail.cnaches were used, it was
customary to convey the bags either on horseback
or in little cart's.' Considerable embarrassment was t
frequently experienced in Edinburgh, owing to the
late arrival of the Enzlisti letters ; this induced a
gentleman to ride a few miles from the town, in
order to watch the post.bny. Having reached his
station, he observed the boy coming, in company
with another lad on horseback ; they stopped, left
their horses, and began ploying a game of colts.—_
The Gentleman could not contain his indignation ;
he rode up, .and used .his whip with considerable

apprehensive of a similar' treatment, exclainied,
