COURT-MARTIAL.

Monday, a Court-Martial assembled on board the Aram, in
Portsmouth harbour, and was continued by adjournment, until
Friday, to try Captain Davao Bvenas, of his Majesty's ship
G aassisoreza, upon the following charges, preferred by Captain
J. Tour Nreosas, of his Majesty's ship HOESIA, vie, for" Con-
tempt"—in having sailed from Harbour Grace to join Vice-AJ-
mire! Sir CHASLES ilwain.rox, Bart. Commander-in-Chief at
Newfoundland, without having communicated with Captain
NmoLas, to learn it' he had any dispatches to transmit ; which
contempt was heightened by its occurring soon after Captain Na.r
coi.as had expressed displeasure at his (Captain Buenstes) con-
duct, for having taken a prisoner on board the C tussuoreza,
without Captain NICOLAS'S knowledge.—For " Disrespect"—in
having taken on board a prisoner, about the 11th of November
laic, without Captain NteoLas's knowledge, charged with mur-
der, and more particularly so, as the Magistrate whom Captain
Buenas had communicated with on that subject, was directed
by the Governor to apply to Captain nem-as as the senior of-
ficer, and the head of the judicial authority at that place, for all
the aid he might need.—For " Neglect of duty"—in not waiting
upon Captain Numirs each time before he (Caps Bucumt got
under way, and when he anchored, about the 13th of Novem-
ber last, after receiving a message from Captain blreoLas about
the said prisoner.—For " unofficerlike conduct"—in causing the
ship's (Griassuotemes) log-book to be erased, after it had been
written correctly, and that, in the opinion of the prosecutor, to
make it agree with the misrepresentation which he had made in
his official letter to the Commander in Chief, stating that the
Glassuoresa bad not got under way on or about the 13th of
November last, for the purpose of proceeding to St. John's, but
only to sight her anchor; whereas the anchor was tatted and
fished; also, for allowing the said female prisoner to occupy his
cabin, and while so doing, to associate with the most common
women of the G ALAISIIOPPCII—women of the most exceptionable
character; thereby degrading the rank and respect due to a Cap-
tain of the Navy in the eyes of all the Officers and ship's com-
pany under his command. The Court, after a full investigation
of the charges, determined that they had not been proved against
the said Captain Davis Suellen, and did adjudge him to be fully
acquitted of the tame.

AFFECTING EVENT.

DEATH OF MRS. DRAY GROSVENOR.

Saturday, Mr. GRAHAM, a respectable tradesman, residing at
Hammersmith, applied to the Magistrates of Queen-square Po-
lice Office, for a warrant against a Mr. Sursw, who is a resident
also of Hammersmith, " for having illegally refused to aid and
assist him (Mr. GRAHAM) in suppressing a breach of the peace,
when called upon by him, in the name of the King, in his capa-
city of constable."
A few days ago, a Lady of the name of DRAX GROSVENOR,
who resided at Acton House, Middlesex, and also at 17, Alpha
Cottages, Regent's Park, was going with her son, Mr. Geosve-
+ewe, in het carriage, along the Hammersmith road, when a
powerful fellow, named Taylor, formerly a labourer at Ham-
mersmith, ran behind the carriage, and attempted to get up and
ride. The groom, who was standing behind the carriage, re-
fused to let him get up, when the fella* seized the groom
by the kg, and pulled him to the ground, and he was injured by
the fall. He called for assistance, and the coachman stopped
the carriage, and came to assist his fellose-servant, when Taylor
attacked and beat him also. A mob was collected, and the Lady
inside the carriage was greedy alarmed. He (Mr. GRAHAM)
being informed of the outrage, went with his assistant to ap-
prehend Taylor ; but so powerful was the fellow, that be
knocked them about like children; he therefore took out his
staff, and called upon Mr. SMITH, a respectable inhabitant, in
his Matassi's name, to aid and assist him in securing Taylor,
and preventing any further breach of the peace. Mr. Saloon
laughed at him, and refused to render any assistance whatever;
the consequence was, that be (Mr. Gaarram) and his assistant,
particularly the latter, were beat and kicked in a shocking
manner, in conveying Taylor to a safe place of custody.---
On the day after the outrage was committed by Taylor, he was
taken before Y. Amorasom, Esq. a Magistrate at Hammersmith,
and was.examined, and the lady (Mrs. Eater Max GROSVENOR)
attended to give evidence against him, and he was ordesed to be
committed to ilium, to take trial for the offence ; but, as he
was being removed from to Magistrate's room, he begged to
speak a few words to the lady, when he made an affecting appeal
to her not to prosecute him far the offence, on the score of huma-
nity to his wife and children, as he was ,ruly sorry for his im-
proper conduct. The lady wished to extend mercy towards the
prisoner, but the Magistrate could not suffer such an outrageous
offence to go unptmishell, for, by so doing, he should be compro-
mising his duty towards the Public, and the man was ordered to
be conveyed to jail. The lady was so greatly affected at the
appeal of the prisoner for mercy, that she fell into the arms of
one of her servants, in a. fit ; she soon became convulsed, and by
the time that medical aid could be obtained, she was a corpse.
The body was laid out in the house of the worthy Magistrate.
The son of the lady was present, and he was in a state of grief
almost beyond description, at the awful and sudden event. Tay-
lor was ordered to find bail to answer the charge at the Sessions.
—The Magistrates baying conferred with the Chief Clerk ( Mr.
BLACIUSTON), informed Mr. Gaau.tx that he must proceed by
indictment against Mr. Sums, for refusing to aid and assist him,
when called upon, in the execution of his duty, and expressed
their approbation of his conduct.

Three of the felons who escaped from York Castle, We!ford,
Brains, and Ibbetatt, on Friday se'nnight, broke into the house
of Miss Spence, at Masham, and stole plate, cash, &c. to the
amount of nearly £lOO. Prior to leaving the house, they re-
freshed themselves with brandy, wine, and cheesecakes, until
they became drunk, and We!ford was left in the flight about 15
miles distant, at a public-house, where he was apprehended, and
gave Informed= of the road rown and Ibbetson had taken.
