2. Having, in a letter, accompanied by extracts from letters
written to Major Greville, by Mr. ,Clarke. published in the Bengal
Barham Newspaper, of May 2. 1012 e, wilfully misrepresented the
doodad of Mr. Clarke, inferring‘ that that Gentleman bad been

3. Having in the second paragraph of a letter, dated 13th of

tepfesentition, in falsely stating," I 'also Legged he (my informer)

Courtaytte, of his Majesty's 49th regiment of foot), welt never" beg-
ged," or authorised by Major Greville, to make to Mr. Hender-

Upon which charge the Court came to the following decides :

It is with much coot in that the Commander-in-Chief feels
himself compelled to withheld his approval fruits the proceedings
of this Court Martial—a Court Martial, from the Members of
which, considering their rank in the service, his Lordship bad a
right to expect cunfilently a correct diseharge of the important
duty which they were summoned to perform. The sentence pew
minced by the Court upon Major is utterly irrecaticila.
ble with their eoding upon the first count of the charge.
HicLoodship cannot suppose it possible that the members of
tins Court Martial consider a reprimand, how severe mower. to be
an adequate sentence upon an officer who may have been talky of
conduct unbecoming the character of au UScer and a Gentleman ;
hut that they did' not, netwithetanding, with a very reprehensible
mateonoo, retain in• their finding the prides tams by which the
whole alleged misconduct of Major °red& is characterised in the
charge preferred apin4 him.
' With this view of the judgment pronounced by the Court (and
It Is only thus that it can be regarded by the Commander in Chief)
bls Lordship dismisses the proceedings, deeply regretting that they
itubuld ever have been submitted to him In so unsatisfactory a form.
His Lordship trusts that the result of this trial, sambas it is; wit
make a serious impression upon Major Greying. so as to guard.
loon effectually for the future from the commission of say intros
p iety of behaviour affecting his character as an officer.
Majot Greville will be released front angst, and resume the
'duties of Brigade Major, King's troops, at Fort William, until the
arrival of Major Bristow.

he has made a larger sweep, giving the hones more room tot no-

extensive plan as last year.
The settling and gaming booths are as numerous never, sad the
`charges on the same issealenee scale; in fact, Ascot Races ibis year
do not present any features different from former meetings. Of the
proceedings at Windsor we can say little, having taken our route
through Egham ; we beard, however. that the inhabitants do not
forget that the present is not an every day occasion. We hope they
will bear in mind the disgraceful and melancholy occurrences last
year, and engage a mon ellicieot constabulary. force.
We should begin our remarks on the Race Cosier by stating that
every thing at Ascot was superlative; for, besides the Sovereign.

all was bustle and expectancy. •
The punctuality with which the King keeps Appointments is
proverbial; precisely at one o'clock the Royal cortege arrived on the

evidently highly gratified by the cordial welcome given him, and
repeatedly bowed to the crowd opposite the Stand. At intervals
during the running several members of the Nobility bad the honour

was uninterrupted. The match between his favourite mare Maria
and Souvenir appeared to interest bin Majesty greatly, and the result
was received with unqualified delight. His Majesty remained eu
the course till after this race, when he left with the same retinae,
amidst loud cheers. The Royal Suite was composed of their Graces
