The Northern Meeting was clouded on Thursday
night by the indisposition and consequent absence of
its amiable patroness, the Marchioness of Huirrtv;
it is, however, of so slight a nature, arising from
cold, that she was expected to grace the ball-room
again next evening. But for the above regrettol cir-
cumstance, and the absence also of the Marquis, the
meeting, as it is well and very respectably attended,
might be justly termed a very pleasant one. Mr.
MACLEOD, younger, of Cadboll, was in the chair, at
dinner on Wednesday ; Sir JAMES DI:MBAR, on
Thursday ; and Sir WILLIAM C. G. Commix°, on
Friday.

The sentence of the Court-Martial lately assembled
to try Colonel FRENCH, upon charges preferred by
Ithe Earl of CARHAMPTON, has been made public.—
'The Court has fully and honourably acquitted him
of the 3d, 4th, sth, and 6th charges. It finds him
guilty of only so much of the Ist charge, as relates
.to his keeping a woman in barracks, whom he called
Mrs. French ; but it adds, " that the retired and
quiet" habits of life which Lieutenant-Colonel FRENCH
pursued with that person, and the care which appears
to have been taken to prevent her from obtruding
herself upon the other-inhabitants of the barracks,
have in some degree counteracted the tendency of",
such conduct. It finds him guilty of the 2d charge;
(that of " inflicting a greater punishment on three
Serjeants, than was awarded by the sentence of a
Regimental court-Martial,") but it states, that he,
" appears to have been led into this irregularity by
his anxious desire to maintain the discipline of the
Regiment," The Court finally recommends that he 4
should be admonished upon the breach of decorum,
involved in the first charge, and reprimanded for his
conduct as complained of in the second charge.—
His, MAJESTY approves and confirms the finding and.
sentence, but expresses his regret, " that the Earl of
CARHAMPTON should, in reference to the 3d, 4th,
.sth, and 6th charges, have been induced, from mit.
conception of what had reached his knowledge, to
withdraw his confidence from Lieutenant-Colonel
FRENCH, who appears from the result of this investi;
gation, not only to have never forfeited his claim to
the good opinion and confidence of hii Colonel, but
to have merited, by the discharge of his duties as
CoMmanding Officer of the 6th Dragoon Guards,
during a long series of years, the honourable testimo-
nials which he produced to the Court.

Friday se'nnight, the Commander of the Forces,
Sir DAVID BAIRD, inspected the troops in the camp
field near the Cork barracks, and expressed himself
highly gratified with their appearance and the cor-
rectness of their evolutions, evincing, on the part of
the Veterans, that their former services had made
deep impressions; and on that of the 18th, that when-
ever the Royal Irish is brought into the field, the test
of good discipline must be manifest. They are, indeed,
a credit to Colonel GRAVES and their Officers in
general, without whose corresponding exertions no
corps can become highly effective. The movements
of the Cavalry were beautiful; their precision, too,
looked almost like what we are led to expect from
those who expend a life in proving what the docility
of the horse is equal to ; and if, on the other hand,
the art of good horsemanship consists in appearing
to be attached, as it were, to that noble brute, the
Scots Greys kept up the delusion most admirably.—
The man and the horse were inseparable in the quick-
est movements. The weather was remarkably fine:
Lady BAIRD, Lady BR/MOM, and a number of our
most respectable inhabitants, were on the ground.—
After the Review was over, Sir DAVID BAIRD and
Sir T. BarssANE, attended by their respective suites,
inspected the Artillery at Ballincollig.
Saturday se'nnight, the Westmoreland Yeomanry
Cavalry completed their six days of permanent duty,
at Appleby, when their commanding officer, Colonel
LOWTHER, expressed himself much delighted with
their improvement in the field, which, he said, had
far exceeded his, most sanguine expectations, and
commending them highly for their sobriety and re-
gularity at their quarters. The men were extremely
well mounted, and presented more the appearance of
a regular cavalry regiment than of a volunteer corps
so recently established.

Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the
East India House, when the following Captains were
