THE ARMY.

The East India screw steamer Asia, Commander
Darke, arrived at Gravesend yesterday from Cal-
cutta, with sick and wounded troops onboard from
Delhi, Lucknow, Cawnpore, and the other mutinous
district: in India. The invalid troops, to the num-.
ber of 192 men of all ranks, with 25 women and
children, embarked at Calcutta on the 23d of Sept.,
and sailed on the 25th of the same month. During
the passage 14 of the troops died, viz.—Sergeant
Dun bar, 12th Lancers ; Sergeant Hendry, Gth Foot;
Sergeant Murphy, 53d Regiment; Sergeant Airey,
77th Regiment; Privates Robinson, 54th; Mac-
kenzie, 79th ; Adams, 77th ; Young, 77th ; Johnson,
32d; Cooper, 12th Lancers ; 'lardy, Royal Artil-
lery ; Malby, 90th ; Barham, Royal Artillery ; and
Torrens, Military Train. There were also three
other deaths on board.

An ornamental piece of ordnance, cast in a cotri-
position- of brass and .a mixture of some other more
valuable metal;said;to be gold, presented some years
ago to her Majesty by Sir J. Brooke, the Rajah of
SaraWak, and supposed to have been a wall piece
at the entrance of the Royal residence, was yester-
day mounted on a carriage. in the carriage. depart-
ment of the Woolwich Arsenal,- fiar transmission to
the Royal Armoury at Windsor Palace. The gun
appears to be of very ancient date and manufacture
and undergone considerable service. Its calibre is
between that of a 6 and 9 pounder of our artillery
of the present day. The limber, carriage, wheels,
&c., are made of solid Spanish mahogany, and are
elaborately decorated with ornamental and filigree
work in bronze leaf. The handspike affixed to the
limber and other parts of the carriage are orna-
mented with the dolphin, to correspond with a
couple of these animals standing in alto-relievo over
the trunnions of the gun. The wheels are also
edged and capped with bronze of similar pattern.
The wood work is highly polished and varnished,
and cemented together with such precision that it
is difficult to discern the spots where the timbers
arc brought together. The work is pronounced one
of the most perfect specimens of the art hitherto
turned out of the Arsenal. The d6ign is original,
and according to an inscription affixed to the breast
of the carriage, between the brackets supporting the
piece, is the - manufacture of Mr. Morris, the
master wheelwright in the carriage department
of the Arsenal.

A military Court sat last week at Devonport for
the purpose of examining certain charges preferred
by Captain Flamank, of the troop-ship Bombay,
against Captain Steel, 17th Lancers, who was in
military command when that ship was recently dis-
masted on her passage from London to Cork. As
the Court sat with closed doors very little is known,
excepting that all the junior military officers and
several non-commissioned officers were examined,
and that the business was completed on Saturday,
tke Ist inst. This inquiry appears to have created
quite a sensation among the men, who addressed
the Court in a memorial, which expresses in strong
terms their entire approbation of Captain Steel's
conduct while in command of them at sea. This
memorial was read at Mannamead on Thursday.
It is signed, by one or more non-commissioned offi-
cers, and one private belonging to each of the 12
detachments.
