OLAND WHIT/ AND INSPECTION OF THE THIRD DRAGOON GUARDS.
Frans the Coventry Observer.
Friday morning, the gallant and distinguished regiment the
3d Dragoon Guards, under the command sof Colonel Holmes, C. B.
were inspected by Major-General Sir Richard Hussey Vivian,
K.C.R. and K.G. 11. inspector general of cavalry, in a large field
adjoining Whitley Common, near this City. A little before nine
o'clock, the General, attended by his brigade Major, the lion. W.
C. Fitzgerald De Roos, arrived on the ground. The regiment
immediately formed line in open order, and the grand salute was
given in an imposing manner.
The following cavalry movements (lately introduced into the
army by the Gallant General) commenced—March past by squa-
drons ; ranks past by single files, at a walk and trot ; trot past by
trPops ; sword exercise; various formations from column to line,
and from line to column. open and close ; advancings and retirings
of line, covered by skirmishers ; charged in ruccession of squa-
drons, from line and close column ; and grand charge in line.—
The appearance of the troops was fine, and the precision and
celerity with which the different movements were made,
evinced a high state of discipline. The charges in squa-
drons were grand, but the charge in line was terrific, and
showed with what deadly effect this description of force can be
wielded. It must be a source of great gratification to the com-
manding officer,—as, we understand, the new cavaly movements
have been only acted upon about two months—that the regiment
should have attained so great a degree of perfection. One horse
fell in the grand charge, but the rider was only slightly hurt. The
General afterwards inspected the r•gintental books, hospital, sol-
diers messes and necessaries, stables, sadlery, recruits, and young
horses, at the barracks ; and also inspected the regiment on foot ;
and espre•sed himself highly satisfied with the order and economy
of the whole.

The General afterward. honoured the Officers of the Regiment,
with his company t. dinner.
To-morrow (Friday) three troops will leave this city for Bir-
mingham barracks.
_ _ _

Monday three troops of the 3d Dragoon Guards arrived in this
city from Birmingham.
Thursday the 83d Regiment, or Ancient Glasgow Volunteers,
under the command of Major Spnterfield, marched into our bar-
racks. It is chiefly composed of fine young English soldiers. The
detachment of the Royal 42d llighlanders, which has performed
gar: i.on duty since the departure of the 4th Regiment,. left town
on Thursday morning, to rejoin the head-quarters at Paisley.
THIC SeLECV LIST.—(From a Sunday Paper.)
The late regulations which have allowed half-pay commissions
to be purchased, have, in many instances, pushed on very young
men to %Winns which their inexperience, at least, hardly entitle*
them to fill, and this deviation from the prior rules of the service,
whatever specious reasons may have been advanced in support of
such an arrangement, was evidently to open a new channel for.
patronage, which is amply confirmed by a reference to the promo.
tions that have in consequence taken place.
Its that List may be noticed the preferment of several Lieuten-
ants in the Foot Guards to unattached Lieutenant• Colonelcies in
the Army by purchase, the dates of whose commissions have not
even, in a single instance, been more remote than that of 1813, the
greater part of them are of the year following, and one promoted in
June last, was only of nine years standing. It may not be ge-
nerally ►nown, that lieutenants in the Guards have the rank
of Captains in the Army, and that on their being promoted
to companies in their respective battalion., have the rank of
Lieutenant Colonels. This advantage within the range of theii
own corps, from having been long established, is not attempted to
be questioned, nor had these Subaltern-Captains been promoted to
unattached Majorities, drawn any observation on the present CM-
tasioll, but that they should, from a source altogether unconl
nected with the Guard., find themselves Lieutenant-Colonels in
the Army, when Captains of the Line, of however long standing, are
justly precluded frost passing the intermediate rank to such nn
elevation, conveys an extension of favour, that will prove
neither beneficial nor encouraging to the army, and which
is the more to be regretted. as General Brevet Promotions, with
regard to the ',neer gradations, have become for some years past
nearly a dead later, ar.d fully justifying the remark, that the num-
ber of promotion* tor l..ng and honourable services are becoming

GENERAL COUR I' MARTIAL.

Our 'Military reader bare been already apprised, through dais
Paper, of the nature of the charges to be tried before a tribunal of
the above character, affecting the case of Brevet Lientenant-Colo-
nel 13ayly, late of the 9Stb Regiment. This Officer's solicitations
to the Horse Guard., tot a public investigation of his conduct while
.n command of the 9Sth Depot, have been acceded to, and in pur-
1111211Ce o! an order to taat effect, the Court commenced its sittings
yesterday in the New Barracks in this City. The Members as-
sembled at the hour or eleven o'clock in the (Orem on precisely, in

Officers composing the Court :—Major-General Janie, Charles
Dalbiac, Commanding the Dublin Garrison, President ; Colonel

[Orchard Ward, Asiistant Quatt,rmaster-General Lieuzenant-Crs.

Flom Charles Grey, Coth Riles; Major Edward Parker, 62d Re-
giment ; Major Benjamin C. Browne, 75th Regiment ; ‘lajor Ed-
ward Stephensom, 76:h Regiment ; Major Nicholas Wilson, 77th
Regiment; and Alajur Nlichael Creagh, 86th Regiment.
Colonel Gardiner attended ai Deputy Adjutant-General, and
David Walker, E.q. as Deputy Judge Advocate-General, to con-
duct the charge. against Lieutenant Colonel Wyly. The latter
Office r was assisted by John lloyse, jun. Esq. as Solicitor fur the
deferce. He was attired in the undress uniform of the 98th Re
put nt, but wore a round hat, without sword, belt, or sash. All
the other Of appeared in full-dress uniform.

The matter has now resolved itself into three charges, and after
the• gallant President had taken his seat, and all the members had
been sworn, Colonel Gardiner, the Deputy Adjutant• General row
and introduced the subject to the Court, in a very clear and con-
cise statement.

At the conclusion of his address, the President ordered the Court
to he cleared, and on our tenon, it was signified that the third
charge, which the Judge Advocate real aloud, should be first en-
tered into. The charge alleged that Lieut.-Cul. Bayly, while in
command of the 98th Depot at Clare Castle, in January, 1828,
had taken away the original minutes of a Court-martial upon four
soldiers of that corp.:, and that hr neglected having the minutes
duly entered in the Regimental Book, and that one of them only
was not copied therein tier seven days after.
Iu support of this charge Sergeant Kearney, 98th, Clerk in the
Orderly Room, was sworn and examiurd, secondly Lieut.-Colonel
Wade, now in command of the 98th depot. Both witnesses were
cross•esammed through the Court by Lieut.-Col. Bayly ; but the
proceedings in each ease assumed a dilatory shade, as each question
and answer bad to be reduced to writing.. At ibis stage the Court
was again cleared, alter which it was anuounced that the evidence
upon the third charge had terminated.
• The first chfige was now read, to the effect, that last January,
at Tralee, Lieutenant-Colonel ileyly had. ordered the cat o'nine
tails to be steeped in brine or pickle, and that they were so applied
to the backs of four soldiers on public parade, after sentence by
Coon Martial, and that the sufferings of the men were designedly

protracted between each lash, a proceeding contrary to the custom
and manner usually observed in the army. To substantiate this
charge Sergeant-Major Sawyer, 98th Regiment, was sworn and
examined. He remained under examination a considerable length
of time, but the Court rose at four o'clock, and adjourned until ten
this morning, with a request from the President to be punctual in
their attendance.

Pending the investigation now in course, it will be admitted that
to publish even the slightest abstract of Cie evidence would be
exceedingly injudicious; the obvious tendency of such an act must
be to create an unfavourable impression, and give an ex-parte co-
louring to evidence not yet completed,before the accused (nicer is
beard in his defence, or testimony offered to rebut the charges
adduced.

Though in possession of an accurate sketch of the proceedings,
we therefore now refrain from submitting a detail to the public, or
of volunteering any opinion upon the features of the case. During
the investigation the deportment of the President, Gen. Dalblac,
was marked by firmness, dignity, intelligence, and decision ; and
the manner of Col. Gardiner, the Adjutant-General, in conducting
the case, was remarkable for its candour and affability, without
losing sight of his duty as a public dicer.
