Naval and Military intelligence.

Col. Bruce is appointed to the command of the
2d Battalion of the Ist Royals, and is to join the
depot forthwith.
Major F. R. Forster (4th Dragoon Guards) has
been appointed extra aide-de-camp to his Excellency
the Earl of Carlisle, Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland.
Yesterday the general court-martial for the trial
of Lieut.-Col. J. Clarke, Ist West India Regiment,
reassembled at Chatham Garrison. The Court hav-
ing concluded the re-examination of Capt. J. D.
Mends proceeded to examine Capt. J. Macaulay,
Lieut. G. Thorne, and Lieut. W. Hartrick, Ist
West India Regiment, in support of the prosecu
tion, although the whole of those witnesses were
about being called by the prisoner to support his
defence. The result of the examination of those
witnesses was that Lieut. Thorne and Lieut. Har-
trick disproved the first charge against the prisoner
—that of refusing to embark on board the Perse-
verance in !command of troop, although it was
alleged that he was detailed in general orders to do
so ; and each of the three witnesses also disproved
the fifth charge, that the prisoner had commenced
a mutiny by advising Captain Macaulay and Cap-
tain Pearson not to obey the commands of Colonel
S. J. Hill. This closed the case for the prosecu-
tion, and the prisoner then read a lengthened de-
fence, in which he informed the Court that imme-
diately be ascertained that he was to be tried by
court-martial he hurried home from Africa ' • and,
although he obtained an interview with the Adju-
tant-General, be failed in obtaining a hearing, the
4djutant-General stating that it was no use his say-
ing anything. He submitted to the Court that he,
bad been entrapped into making use of certain ex-
pressions in a conversation with Colonel Hill as to
what his opinions would be on a certain event
(which had not taken place) on which a disobe-
dience of orders was assumed, and by an extra-
ordinary hallucination a mutiny was improvised.
He distinctly disavowed to Colonel Hill all inten-
tions of claiming the command of the detachments
when the troops of the 2d West India Regiment
were expecting to embark. His appointment to
the Gambia arose out of a wanton aggression on
the part of Colonel Hill in removing bim from the
command of the six companies of the regiment—
the command of the left wing having been held by
him for three years by general orders—and placing
him in a subordinate position by procuring his
being sent to Gambia on the untrue pretext of a
disturbance there, and although there were at that
time two field-officers in that colony. He sub-
mitted to the Court that Colonel Hill was actually
prohibited from exercising any military jurisdiction
in the Gambia, and referred to the letter of the
commanding officer of his regiment, in which he
(the prisoner) was considered the chief military
authority in Africa. He wished to call the atten-
tion of the Court to the fact that he bad written to
the Horse Guards to ascertain his exact position,
but the Court would not fail to be impressed with
the fact that the answer to his letter was not
received by him until after the date mentioned in
the charges, when it was handed to him by Col.
Hill. Tile prisoner then proceeded to comment on
the circumstance that the original charges preferred
against him had been altered a few days before the
assembling of the court, and fresh charges substi-
tuted; a'so, on the important fact that Col. Hill, the
prosecutor, had not been called as a witness by
he prosecution, although his name was given him
as the principal witness. On his first arrival at
Sierra Leone he found Col. Hill absent from the
station employed making a king of one of the coun-
tries. The command at that time was held by Capt.
Pearson, notwithstanding the witness Capt. Mends
had sworn he had the command. As soon as Col.
Hill returned he order the prisoner to quit his go-
vernment, but no general order was issued. At a
subsequent interview with Col. Hill he informed pri-
soner he had no intention to entrap him, as he was
not "so tricky." Col. Clarke then referred to tb e letter
he had written to Col. Hill disavowing any inten-
tion of claiming the command of the 2d West In-
dia Regt., and remarked on the fact that the Port
Adjutant had stated that Col. Hill would be glad
