THE ARMY.

The second and third divisions of the Ist Battalion of the 60th
arrived on board the Prince of Orange and Fanny transports, on
the 15th instant, at Portsmouth, from Quebec. 'They were or-
dered round to Chath tm, where they have arrived and disem-
barked. The first division of the same Corps, which recently came
home from Quebec on board the Cato transport, has also arrived
at Chatham. The remainder of the 60th is daily expected to ar-

Tuesday se'nnight, a Court-Martial was held in Edinburgh Cu-
de, on Allan eftwrnit, a private soldier of the 65th Regiment,
charged, along with two other soldiers, with " highly unsoldierlike
conduct, in being drunk, disorderly, and creating a crowd in the
Ifigh-street. on the night of Sunday last, and drawing hid bayonet
or. some of the inhabitants."—Several witnesses were examined,
and from their testimony it appeared that the soldiers were not the
aggressors, but were in fact assailed by a number of idle and disor-
eerly persot,s, and but for the appearance of the police, would have
been seriously maltreated. It was farther proved, thafthe bayonet
of one of the soldiers (Cameron) was not drawn, but had fallen out
in the struggle with some of the mob. The Court, after considering
the evidence, unanimorts'y accptilted the prisoner, which was ap-
proved of and confirmed by C lonel Dun is.
