DR. O'SHAUGHNESSY was on his way to the presidency. His health has been restored, and he intends to superintend the construction of the telegraph from Calcutta to Prome. THE ANUNDONATH LIBRARY.-A correspondent of the Englishman mentions that the Lieutenant-Governor laid the first stone of the Anundonath Library at Beauleah on the 5th instant. This library, to be erected in accordance with a scheme originally suggested by Mr. H. V. Bayley, has been endowed by the munificence of Kour Aundonath Rai, who, besides a gift of Rs. 12,000, has devoted Rs. 350 annually for the maintenance of the institution. NEW PLAN TO CHECK ASSASSINATION.-A correspondent of the Englishman mentions a new plan adopted by the commissioner of Peshawur to check the constant assassinations. A sentry belonging to the 10th cavalry was murdered. The headmen of the neighbouring viliages were therefore ordered to produce the mur. derer within three days, or pay a fine of Rs. 1,000. This is the ancient Saxon system, under which the hundred was liable for all the crimes committed by its inmates. AGRA AND UNITED SERVICE BANK -This well-managed and prosperous concern has, it will be seen, declared a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, out of its profits of Rs. 4,41,252, for the last half-year. The balance, equal to Rs. 3-13-10 per cent. per annum, has been applied in part to make up the reserve fund to ten lacs.-Agra Messenger, August 26. PERMISSION TO FAMILIES OF OFFICERS TO RESIDE AT HENZADA. The Gazette of Sept. 2 contains an order permitting the families of public servants to join them at the station of Henzada in Pegu. If we continue to receive such accounts of the tranquillity of Pegu as have reached us during several months past, we presume that it will not be long before a like boon is granted to the Government servants at other stations. If the visit of the embassy from Burmah should lead to the conclusion of a satisfactory treaty, possibly the restriction against the families of those employed in the new province joining them may be altogether withdrawn. UNPOSTED ENSIGNS.-It has been brought to our notice that while the number of ensigns "doing duty" is becoming very large, the many vacancies in regiments of native infantry, caused by the removals to the 3rd European regiment and otherwise, are remaining open for an unreasonable length of time. The delay in filling up these gaps is, we believe, felt as something of an evil and a hardship by the corps in which they exist; not merely because additional duty is thereby thrown upon the few subalterns present, but also and chiefly because of the detriment occasioned to regimental institutions, which depend so much on the support of a certain number of members, as for example the mess and the band. It is to be hoped that we shall soon see an extensive posting in general orders.—Agra Messenger, August 19. WRECK OF THE "ROB ROY."-Government yesterday despatched the Zenobia steamer to the Andamans to relieve the crew of the Rob Roy, and if possible to get the brig off. It is expected the Zenobia will be there by Friday. The Rob Roy is stated to be high and dry, and if the weather prove favourable, it is hoped both vessel and cargo may be saved. The cargo consists of 805 chests of opium, and is insured for about nine lacs. Nearly all the insurance offices in town have suffered more or less, those who have been doing business at reduced premiums having the largest risks, and consequently being the hardest hit. Forty-eight of the crew are on shore, well armed, and it is supposed able to defend themselves, and protect the vessel against any attack on the part of the savages. Those gentlemen are not opium-eaters, they prefer lascars, and would probably take nothing more than such iron and copper as they could conveniently detach. We have received the following details from a friend :-" Clipper Rob Roy, it appears, left this port about the 27th ultimo, and went to sea on the 29th, soon after which she must have experienced the very heavy weather that occurred at the Sand Heads, and which extended some distance down the Bay of Bengal on the 31st ultimo and 1st current. We understand that she was three days without an observation; and the fury of the storm must have swept her towards, and finally on, to one of the Andaman Islands, where she struck on the 2nd instant. The captain, his wife, and a portion of the crew left in a boat for Rangoon, and were exposed four days and nights, before being picked up by a ship. As soon as the natives discovered the wreck, they came down in a body, and shot arrows at the crew, who, in self-defence, were obliged to fire upon them. This is neither the first nor second time we have heard of our shipwrecked sailors being treated in this manner by these savages, and as we have no power over the wind and waves, and know not how soon another disaster like the present may again occur, we think it behoves our Government to give some consideration to the protection of our mercantile interests. teak-forests are said to abound in these islands: it might pay Government to colonize them."-Englishman, Aug. 23. Vast AN AMERICAN CLIPPER, the Typhoon, of 1,600 tons, has made the passage from the Isle of Wight to the Sandheads in eighty-five days. This is one of the most rapid voyages on record. THE LADY LAWRENCE FUND is, we are happy to observe, progressing favourably. The sum already subscribed amounts to Rs. 8,023, of which Rs. 3,320 has been paid. Dr. C. Hathaway, the secretary to the committee, will receive contributions. THE INDIA GENERAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY has earned during the past half-year Rs. 94,238, or a profit of Rs. 71,521. Of this sum, Rs. 30,000 have been devoted to increase the reserve fund, and a dividend declared at the rate of Rs. 8 per cent. per annum. Shares are at present Rs. 200 above par. THE "LADY NUGENT."-The pilot of the Pekin was taken out to sea when she last left. He has returned, and reports that the Pekin passed near the island of Preparis, to the north of which are situated the rocks called Cow and Calf; and on one of them was clearly observed the lower mast of a ship lying in a slanting position, and over it was spread out a sail, as if it was intended for a screen or tent. It was proposed to put out a boat, but the commander was unwilling to run the risk, particularly as he had seen it publicly announced that the Lady Nugent was all right. The steamer passed near enough to distinguish men, and even smaller objects, had there been any on the rocks, but none were seen.-Hurkaru, Sept. 2. COLONEL TUCKER.-The recent advancement of the adjutantgeneral of the Bengal army to the rank of colonel, consequent upon his being nominated an aide-de-camp to the Queen, is said to have given dissatisfaction in military circles in the north-west. Considering how highly Colonel Tucker distinguished himself in the Punjab campaign, and how well he has discharged the responsible duties of his office, we were not in the least surprised to see him selected as one of the recipients of royal favour; and we think that the officers of the Bengal army ought to be gratified that the officer holding the highest military appointment in the army has received a rank, which, in our opinion, should always be bestowed upon the individual occupying the situation. It is true that Colonel Tucker has superseded thirty-five lieutenant-colonels, of whom twenty-eight hold that rank regimentally; but this is a trifling amount of supersession compared with what has occurred in numerous previous instances, and in this case is not likely to be fraught with the consequences which will result from others, because we do not believe that Colonel Tucker intends to take any command. He certainly would not accept a brigade, and should he, as it is reported he will, proceed to England shortly, we doubt if he would return to India for one; we even question if he will ever come out to take a division. If a new system of brevet promotion is to be introduced into the India armies, and advancement to high rank out of the regular course by seniority is to be made the reward of distinguished services and high qualifications, we shall be quite satisfied so long as the selections are as well made as in the present case; and the Bengal army need not complain if the next elevation involves no more supersession that the present, and the officer selected for promotion has as good claims to consideration as Colonel Tucker possesses, and has, like him, served upwards of thirty years.-Hurkaru. THE UNCOVENANTED SERVICE.-Lord Dalhousie has done more for the Uncovenanted Service, and for the natives employed in that service, than any of his predecessors. One of them bestowed the office of commissioner of the Sunderbuns on Roy Omacant Sein, and another made Baboo Russomoy Dutt judge of the Small Cause Court; but for him it was reserved to open a number of coveted appointments to the worst-paid and hardest worked body of the servants of the state. During his administration, and with his express sanction, the offices of assistant accountant general and assistant civil auditor, in the Bombay presidency, have been conferred on native gentlemen. In our own presidency, he has bestowed the office of clerk assistant to the legislative council on Baboo Prosono Coomar Tagore; that of junior magistrate on Baboo Huru Chunder Ghose; that of assistant collector of customs on Baboo Nogender Nauth Tagore; and now, according to a contemporary, we have a fresh instance of his liberality in the appointment of a native to the office of third assistant to the accountant general, on a salary of Rs. 800. We have no idea for whom this last honour is intended, but have no doubt that a fitting individual will be selected, because the natives are good accountants, and are much more likely to distinguish themselves in that line than as judges or magistrates. It would be unreasonable indeed to expect a man who has been bred up in a different walk of life to give entire satisfaction in an office of account the moment he has been installed into it; but there are many native gentlemen who have been professionally bred up as accountants; and who have already rendered good service in the financial department, and it is among these, we presume, that the choice will lie.-Hurkaru. BRIDGE ACROSS THE HOOGHLY.-The Englishman says, that a good substantial bridge upon iron boats could be erected across the Hooghly in a few months, and for five lacs of rupees. The estimate is about three times that sum ; but the bridge is becoming a necessity. The passage of the river from any of the lower ghauts to the railway station occupies more time than a trip of twenty miles on the rail. ACCOUNTANT'S OFFICE.-Under instructions from the Court of Directors, Government has called for a return of the establishment of the several branches of the accountant's office. It is said that the system of military accounts is to undergo a change, and the number of assistants is to be increased, as the Court requires that the accounts be more promptly closed than they hitherto have been. THE LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR, N. W. P.-It is decided, we are told, that his Honour the Lieutenant-Governor will spend the next hot season at Nynee Tal. It is not so certain, however, that he will in the meanwhile visit Agra, as his cold-weather tour in the Saugor territories may lead him away from this region.-Agra Messenger, August 12. A NEW JOINT-STOCK COMPANY.-The Hurkaru mentions that a new joint-stock company has been started. It proposes to establish a new bullock-train between Calcutta and Lahore. The capital is to be one lakh of rupees, divided into 200 shares, of Rs. 500 each. The profits are expected to be enormous, but the company depend upon Government giving up its own train. A bullock train, well managed, must pay, but we question if the competition of the government train is very dangerous. Unless the servants of that establishment can be brought under better regulation, it will soon be condemned as a public nuisance. The grand trunk road is nearly impassable. The carts are so large that, unless the drivers will go on one side, nothing else can pass, and the drivers positively refuse. They are Koompani-ka-noukur, and will make way for nobody but sepoys. RESIDENT AT LUCKNOW.-Sir Henry Lawrence and one of the Ramsays are spoken of to succeed Colonel Sleeman as resident at Lucknow; Sir Henry would hardly, we think, accept the acting appointment; Major George Ramsay is the only one of the name who could expect so high a post, and being resident at Nepaul, and acting resident at Nagpore, there would be nothing to carp at if he were sent to Lucknow. DEPARTURE OF MESSRS. PRINSEP AND DEVEREUX TO SINGAPORE.-We yesterday omitted to mention the departure, on Thursday evening, of Mr. Prinsep and Mr. Devereux to Singapore, in order to open that preposterous commission regarding Rajah Brooke, which will not be a warrant to the inhabitants of the Straits of the vaunted wisdom of Parliament. This will be a very pleasant trip for the commissioners. It will give them a breath of fresh sea air, and serve as an excellent "constitutional." But we imagine there is no sane man in this quarter of the globe that does not laugh at the humbug (yes, the proper and righteous phrase is humbug) of this proceeding.-Hurkaru, Aug. 19. EXTRAORDINARY CHESS-PLAYING.-A correspondent of the Englishman notices a native chess-player, named Koonja Beharee Chatterjea, who can play four games at once, without seeing the boards. This is, we believe, a feat which has been accomplished by only one European professor, Philidor, and was considered dangerous even by him, from the excessive tension of the mental powers. GOVERNMENT is going to construct an efficient steam-ferry between Calcutta and the railway terminus at Howrah; the machinery for the boats has been ordered in England, and nearly two years back the Military Board, now happily defunct, was directed to commence the ghâts. Under the new system, we may hope they will be begun at once, and completed quickly. A PESHAWUR letter, dated the 23rd instant, affords the annexed extract:-"The following force moved out last evening towards Michnee to coerce two Yagi villages in that direction, who have refused to pay tribute to Cæsar-two Horse Artillery guns, three companies of the 4th N.I., one squadron irregular cavalry. The whole under command of Major Chamberlain. You shall know the result of the operations. We have had an unusually dull and hot season at Peshawur, dearth of news, or excitement of any sort-prickly heat excepted-having been its chief characteristics. I hear the mountain train is to be stationed at Rawul Pindee, a false military position surely for a battery of that description, whose services should always be available on the frontier at a few hours' notice."-Delhi Gazette, August 30. ASSAM. Gold has been discovered in Assam, so says a correspondent, and to make assurance doubly sure the commissioner, Colonel Jenkins, is going to depute one of his assistants, Captain E. T. Dalton, he believes, to report on the same. The sum of Co.'s Rs. 1,000 has also been directed to be disbursed in anticipation of the sanction of the Governor-General for the expenses incidental on the same.-Bengal Hurkaru, Aug. 22. CAPTAIN DOUGLAS, of the artillery, is said not only to have discovered the secret of the construction of the Congreve rocket, but to have improved upon it; it is added, that he has been ordered to Meerut to exhibit his discovery before the permanent committee of artillery officers. AN INCIDENT AT THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL'S TABLE.-The other evening there was a capital scene at one of these entertainments, which created much amusement among those assembled. When the time came for rising from table, and after all that stupid staring that is exchanged between those who are to give the signal had been gone through, up rose the entire company, led off by the Governor-General, when suddenly the entire throng was electrified by loud shouts of "Come back, come back," from behind. You may guess the sensation and surprise that was created by a voice, of stern command, applied to the Governor-General and his hundred guests. The multitude turned round to see the cause of the uproar, which was explained by the sight of the Bishop of Calcutta standing alone in his place at table, and calling loudly on the godless multitude to return and join him in saying "grace" after the feast, which was done amidst the irrepressible smiles on the part of the entire company. This incident broke the habitual dulness of the evening, the society being indebted for the only moment of amusement or hilarity to the pious old prelate, who reminded them in the above pointed manner of their duty to the Giver of all things.-Delhi Gazette. COALS FROM AVA.-We would recommend to the notice of the agent of the Peninsular and Oriental Company the following extract from the letter of the Englishman's Rangoon correspondent:-"It is satisfactory to state that the Bentinck steamer steamed down from Prome her last trip on coal sent from Ava. What an immense saving to Government will be caused should coal be found in abundance up the country. It is at present brought to Rangoon by vessels direct from Aberdeen and London." It would be well worth while to send for a large sample of these coals, so that their quality may be tested, for if they are as good as English coals for the purposes of sea-going steamers, we presume that they might be laid in at all the coal depots of the P. and O. Company in the Bay of Bengal, and some other parts of the Indian waters at a cost so much under that now paid for fuel, as to make a material difference in the profits of the Company for the coming year, and do away with any excuse for a further increase of the charges for passage and freight. Should the coal fields of Burmah be of large extent, and their produce of good quality, they may yield a revenue to the Lord of the White Elephant, which will in a measure atone to him for the loss of the fair province of Pegu, and he may in the end find that the presence of the British on his present frontier will be an advantage to him by causing a demand for many of the products of Burmah for which there has hitherto been no market. To India the advantages derivable from the discovery of superior coal in such a locality would be very great, as with such a fine river as the Irrawaddy upon which to convey it to Rangoon the cost of transport would be light. Should Burmah become the field from whence we derive our supplies of coal for all the seagoing steamers which are continually crossing the Bay of Bengal, Rangoon will also in a few years become one of the most important seaports of the eastern world. THE LATEAL SYSTEM.-We hear that Mr. Fergusson, the magistrate of the 24-Pergunnahs, lately convened a meeting of the Zemindars of his district, and urged upon them the advisability of giving up the lateal system, and submitting their disputes to the decision of arbitrators. He pointed out to them, that by such a course not only would the public peace be preserved, but they would be saved the expense both of keeping up fighting men, and carrying on law-suits, which can advantage no party concerned in them. He is said plainly to have told them that unless they would attend to his advice, he would be reluctantly compelled to appeal to government to pass such Acts as would enable him to take measures for the suppression of the disgraceful practises now prevalent in Bengal, and that they, the Zemindars, would eventually suffer in purse, possibly even to the extent of ruin, while in some cases loss of liberty would probably result from a perseverance in their present courses. We think it would be well if others of the Bengal magistrates were to follow this good example, and warn the Zemindars, and also the Indigo planters, who keep up fighting men, of the expediency of coming to some arrangement for giving up this bad habit, and settling their differences, if possible, out of court, if not by an appeal to law. Fights attended with loss of life are now so frequent in Bengal, that it cannot be supposed that the legislative council will fail to pass some stringent enactment on the subject. This crying evil has increased to such a magnitude that it requires to be put down with a strong hand; and this we feel certain it will be unless those most interested are timely wise, and use the remedy, which it is still in their power to apply, and which Mr. Fergusson has so plainly and so consider ately pointed out to them. In the north-western provinces we hear little or nothing of these fights, which are of daily occurrence throughout Bengal, especially in the immediate vicinity of Calcutta; and we trust that the legislative council will lose no time in striking at the root of the evil, by passing an Act, which will bring all concerned, but more particularly the instigators of them, within the reach of the law, and subject such to most severe penalties.Hurkaru. MILITARY ON DITS.-We understand that Captain C. C. Robertson, of the 11th regt. N. I., is to be appointed assistant to the commissioner and Governor-General's agent at Nagpore. This will cause some slight promotions in the army commissariat, as Captain Robertson's acceptance of the above situation will oblige him to resign his office of assistant commissary-general, which he has hitherto held with so much credit.-The 10th Hussars will, it is now stated, remain at Kirkee for some time longer, ere the regiment proceeds home.-There is likely to be great promotion in the 18th regt. N.I. Major Brown, and Brevet Majors Edwards and Davidson, the three senior officers being all in treaty regarding selling out, and all likely to retire by January next.-We are given to understand that Captain R. Fagan, the superintendent of civil buildings at Lahore, has been, or will be, appointed to the charge of the buildings at the new Sanatarium of Dalhousie on the Chumba Range. His duties will commence about the 1st of October.-Colonel G. Campbell will, it is said, succeed Colonel A. Wilson, as commandant of artillery at DumDum.-It is believed that the chief engineer has recommended the separation of the appointments of garrison engineer and barrackmaster in Fort William, and the bestowal of the latter situation, with a suitable salary, on some old and deserving subordinate of the department of Public Works.-Lieutenant-Generals Sewell and McNeill will, it is said, have to vacate their divisional commands at Madras, in consequence of their promotion; no exception will, as once supposed, be made in their favour. GOVERNMENT GENERAL ORDERS. THE BREVET. Head-Quarters, Simla, Aug. 22, 1854.-1. The extensive brevet which has recently taken place has had the effect of removing, by promotion, from the staff of the presidencies of Bengal and Madras various superior officers of her Majesty's army, many of whom have served with much distinction, proudly recorded, in the active operations of the armies of India; and all of whom have rendered essential service in the exercise of divisional and brigade command through the period that has since elapsed. 2. Sir William Gomm is desirous of recording his sense of the cordial assistance which he has received generally at the hands of those distinguished officers throughout the term of his holding the Indian command; to which assistance, in co-operation with that tendered in a corresponding spirit by superior officers of the Hon. Company's forces, he mainly attributes the sound state of discipline and perfect readiness for any service, in which the entire army of India is seen to stand at this day. 3. To Lieutenant-General W. H. Sewell, C.B., Lieutenant-General R. Macneil, Major-General Viscount Melville, K.C.B., Major-General W. H. Breton, and Major-General the Hon. T. Ashburnham, C.B., the Commander-in-Chief desires to express his personal regard and an earnest wish that prosperity and distinction may attend each one in his future career of service. state of intoxication to the quarters of Capt. R. Patton, of the same regiment, and there conducted himself in an offensive and insulting manner to Capt. Patton and to Ens. McPherson, also of the same regiment, and made a threatening gesture with a stick towards Ens. McPherson. 3rd. In having, at Chinsurah, on the same day, proceeded in a state of intoxication to the quarters of his commanding officer, Lieut. Col. J. C. C. Gray, and there behaved with great disrespect to Lieut. Col. Gray. Finding.-Guilty of the charge, with the exception of the word "boisterously" in the 1st instance, of which they acquit him. Sentence.-To be dismissed. Approved and confirmed, (Signed) W. M. GOмм, General, C.-in-C. E.I. Head-Quarters, Simla, July 29, 1854. The name of Lieut. Penson will cease to be borne upon the returns of the 3rd European regiment from the date of publica tion of this order at Chinsurah, of which a report is to be made to the adjutant-general of the army, and to the assistant adjutantgeneral at the presidency. LIEUT A. PROCTER, 39TH N.I. Fort William, Aug. 21, 1854.-The proceedings of the general court-martial held at Prome on the 14th of June last, for the trial of Lieut. A. Procter, 39th N.I., and doing duty with the Arracan local battalion, have been submitted to the Supreme Government by his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief. Lieut. Procter, on Dec. 15 last, caused two Burmese, who had been caught in his camp, to be shot to death by a party of the Arracan battalion. He was accordingly tried on a charge of murder, was found guilty of manslaughter, and was sentenced by the court-martial to three months' imprisonment in the gaol of Calcutta, but was strongly recommended to mercy. His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief refused to confirm the sentence, and ordered Lieut. Procter to remain in open arrest, pending the orders of Government. In a case of so much importance, the most Noble the GovernorGeneral in Council has deemed it necessary to record the following observations, and to promulgate them for the information and guidance of the officers of the armies of India. The effect of the finding of the court-martial, and of the refusal of the Commander-in-Chief to confirm the sentence, is to exempt Lieut. Procter from the punishment contained in the sentence, and from all other punishment by law. The most Noble the Governor-General in Council has carefully studied the proceedings and the evidence before the Court; and although the finding of that tribunal has practically exempted Lieut. Procter from punishment, his Lordship in Council finds it impossible to regard that officer as free from blame or guilt. Lieut. Procter was in command of a detachment of 125 men of the Arracan battalion, in the district of Tharawaddy. The greater part of that district was in a lawless state, overrun by bands of armed men under the orders of Moung Goung Gee, by some of whom Lieut. Pocter expected to be attacked. The Burmese headman of the village had informed him that two spies were to be despatched from the camp of Moung Goung Gee to that of Lieut. Procter. On Dec. 15 (on which day Lieut. Procter had been reinforced by a company of the 10th N.I.), two Burmese were seized in Lieut. Procter's camp. They were declared to be the spies expected. Whereupon Lieut. Procter, within an hour after they were taken, tied them up, and had them then and there shot to death, himself giving the word of command. The Governor-General in Council cannot but regard this act as justly calling for the severest condemnation of the Supreme Government. Lieut. Procter's plea, that the destruction of these men as spies was justified by the custom of war, is, in the opinion of Government, utterly untenable. Admitting to the fullest degree Lieut. Procter's allegation, that his detachment was in the midst of hostilities-that armed marauders or insurgents were in his vicinity, and were expected shortly to attack him,-and that the men whom he seized were actually spies from the insurgents' camp ;-his act will, in the eyes of Government, still stand wholly without justification. The destruction of these two wretches averted no danger from his force, it could exercise no material influence on his opponent. Whatever danger might be involved in their presence as spies, had been counteracted, for they were already in his power; the Governor-General in Council considers it to be utterly idle to say that safe custody could be found for them only in death. The words employed by Lieut. Procter in his defence before the court-martial, "You may make it the moral of my court-martial -never assume responsibility, even for the purpose of saving bloodshed," are calculated to be effective as declamation before a Court, but that they did not convince the court-martial of his innocence, is plainly apparent from the Court's verdict; which, although it declared Lieut. Procter not to have committed murder, and convicted him of the crime of manslaughter, which he did not commit, yet pronounced his conduct culpable to the extent of feloniously taking life. Such declamation, however, when tested by facts, is void of all solid substance. The act of Lieut. Procter, in destroying these men, was not necessary to the safe custody of two bound prisoners among 200 soldiers. It did nothing for the safety of his detachment. It could not possibly have averted attack at the moment; and the supposition cannot for an instant be admitted, that it would influence the chief Moung Goung Gee to abstain from his opposition thereafter. There was, therefore, no call for Lieut. Procter assuming the responsibility of the immediate death of these men. The Government of India must ever value highly the exhibition of energy, determination, and absence of undue fear of responsibility in the officers of the army. But all these qualities may be possessed and displayed in the highest degree, without the commission of any such act as that for which Lieut. Procter has been arraigned before a court-martial. The Most Noble the Governor-General in Council protests against the condemnation of it being represented as a discouragement on the part of the Government, of the exercise by the officers of the Indian army of a spirit of resolution, and of readiness to meet the responsibilities of every position in which the course of their service may place them. Lieut. Procter was selected for detached employment with the Arracan battalion. His conduct on this occasion requires that that distinction should be taken from him. The Most Noble the Governor-General in Council accordingly requests that his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief will be so good as to remove Lieut. Procter from the Arracan battalion, and remand him to his proper regiment, the 39th N.I., releasing him at the same time from arrest. CIVIL. APPOINTMENTS, &c.
