We understand that the first steps tn-be taken by
the Court-Martial ordered to assemble at Winche4er,
will be, to prevent the ♦iolent disagreement which or-
tarred in Spain between two Officers of high Sauk
from proceeding to extremities. It appears, that
there is a precedent for this interference in the
Minorca Court-Martial, in which Sir W. DRAPER
'and General MURRAY were concerned.

Sir FRANCIS BURDETT is-arrived is town in con-
sequence of the death of Mrs. Courts, the wife of
Mr. COUTTS, the banker, and mother of JAdy Boa-
DETT. The funeral of Mrs. Courts *ill take place

deposited, is one of the most splendid that was ever

said he must go to the Bank to get tome of them
changed ; but previous thereto, he asked a bye-
standing farmer to lend him that sum, with which he
foolishly complied, when the stranger deposited a fic-
titious bill for that amount, and set off towards the
Bank to replenish his funds; the other two soon fol-
lowed, and left the farmer to lament his credulity ;
all pursuit proving fruitless.
It is, perhaps, not generally know°, that who-
ever wafts along the western part of the Strand,
passes and has within his sight some remains of a
w;111 built so long since as 1365. These are against
the house, at the western corner of Durham-yard,
a few feet from the Strand. As the s:ones have
been lately disfigured by a white washing, it may he

in the above year for the residence of the Bishop
