Thu interest elicited by this Election has bees great
beyond all precedent, and the friends of the re.
sportive parties have been much agitated by the Sec.
tasting state of each day's Pell. At the last Elec-
tion, which closed on the eighth day, there were only
3736 votes polled; on the present occassion, there
hate been 4706—making an recess of 970.—When
the Post left Salisbury, Mr. Banrry had not been
chaired, and a ♦omour was is circulation that there
was some intention of chspensiog with such ao as.
hibitioo on the present occasion, in consequence of
the irritated state of the popular feeling —The Races,
which commenced immediately after the close of the
Poll, had for the moment drawn away a great part
of the crowd, and dowse to the departure of the post,
there was no appearance of any rint or disterbance.
Sir FRANCIS BURNIMT sod Mr. lioartourc were both
'et %fishery. On Tuesday night there was again
seat dioerbances at Trowbridge; the piqurta of the
troops who have been stationed there aiece the first
days of the Election were doubled, and kept on duty
till day-break.

A Court- Ma rtiel,ennalmsisel of the Olfic•rs Mention-

against S.f 0,11.11 /Okay. . The Court
consisted of Field °Lyra, of shoot General Slop.

The Court hiring emerobl:d on the following

of private correspondence. Witis relate, to I!••

months, they were at length reported as fit for see.
vice. Hut, said he, I m tat solemnly, on my wood
of heenur,do declare, that when I used these words
which have given suck plicate, I had no evil th.teght
er with upon the 'object ; my only feeling, perhaps
losgesteledly esprestetil, being, that knowing these
men did not require treatment, I ass desirous that
Mr. Des,' should not inter( re with them, that when
ithee came op before the Board they might be seen by
the Bawd in their tree light; and that when suffer.
.d to minded themselves as soldiers will do under
ordinary circumstances, it might be evident that they
were net fit for public service, as they had bees re-
! ported.
Mr. Dean being called, coofirmed what Ma. Lind.
say had stated of the two men. Phillips end Pyle.—
When he received from Mr. Lindsay the letter, his
!construction of it was, that it was meant jocularly,
lend that it was mere badinage.

Upon being asked by the Count, how he could
rect.oeile what he called the jocular ramming of the
accused with his deliberate uraisseineets to have the
men alluded to so examined by the Chelsea Beard,
and so have the business examined with so much
secrecy, witness *mimed, that it appeared Mr.
Lindsay's object was, that the slate of the men, open
their arrival in tows, should appear is their true co.
lours • that their tarried should not be koown to Sir
W. Adams, entil they were examined by the Chelsea
Board, as well as shown to the Commander-In-Chief
and the Secretary at War. If the %witness bad con-
ceived Mr. Lindsay's letter to bear the meaning im•
putrid to it in the charge, he should hate considered
it as the greatest Insult. The men alluded to were
not under his controls! at Chatham, and therefore
they might go about and drink like other soldiers.—
The phrase of " a proper vascular cornea," used in
the charge, be considered as a vulgar cant expression ;
bet Mr. Lindsay's meaning its this passage he under-
stood to be, the vascular cornea should be palpable
to theCommander-in•Chief and the Secretary at War,
is order (bat they might awe the state of the disease.
Sir G. M'Gregor, and Drs. J. Forbes and Arbeili.
not, bore testimony to the character of Mr. Lindsay.
Dr. Forbes also stated, that upon seeing the letter
from which the charge was extracted had bee, quoted
by Lord Palmerston in the Hoes* of Commons, be
being stationed with Dr. Deese, at Chatham, assisted
that Gentleman in looking for the original of that
letter, bet could nut find it.
Colonel Christie, the Commander of the Invalids
at Chatham, bore testimony to the character of Mr.
Lindsay ; stating also, that a Staff Surgeon had no
controol over Invalids Is ha were not in the Hospital.
The Court was then cleared, and the Members
proceeded to take she evidence into their considers.
Lien. The sentence cannot he published until it has
been submitted to the Prince Regent.

The trial appeared to excite considerable interest,
as the Cellist was crowdrd daring its contingence.
