The Royal a proposed in the report of the appointed to inquire into the Sanitary Coadition of tie British army, presented to parliament last year by command of her Majesty, are gradually being carried into operation by 6e present Seeretary of State for War, the Right Ham Sidney Herbert. This is only what might be ass petted, as the Commission itself sat under the pessi. dency of the right boo. gentleman. The publication of the Royal Warrant improving the position, pay, and retirement of the medical officers of the army, has been succeeded by the change in the constitution of the Army Medical Department recommended In the report—namely, the formation of a Council to assist the Director-general by their deliberations and advice in the transaction of the affairs of the department. This council consists of three medical officers, each presiding over a special branch of the' professional pursuits in which the medical officers of the army are engaged. These divisions are the sanitary, the medical and surgical, and the statisti oil. In consequence of the vast extent of the British Empire, and the iscressed attention to the sanitary condition of the troops over its whole extent, the number of returns and reports, from the medical officers have become so great, that, as proved before the royal commission, it is impossible for any one person to look into all of them with pro per are mid attention. Routine reports and returns are now to be referred to the member of the medical council presiding over the division to which the report or return may belong, but all extraor dinary reports and matters of importance are to be submitted to the Director-general, or, if thought sufficiently important, to be discussed with the director-general in council. The sole re sponsibility in action, however,rests with the director general of the department, the only restraint on his conduct being, that if advice on any nbjeet is ten dered to him by the council which he thinks proper to reject, he is required to record his reasons for doing so. Various other changes have taken place. The interior economy of the army hospitals has been considerably modified, more especially as re gards simplification of the accounts and method of supply, and improvement in the dietary arrange ments for patients. Other changes are in pogrom The sob-commission charged with the daly of examining into the measures required for the it provement of barracks and hospital buildings—an off-shoot of the royal commission on the sanitary state of the army—la still pursuing its investigations. Another change, and one of the most important, emanating from the report of the Sanitary Commis sioners, has just been determined upon—the esta blishment of an army medical school, to correspond, in a great measure, with the military medical schools which have long existed in all the other leading nations of Europe. The organisation of the school, the regulations affecting candidates for com missions, the subjects of the courses of lectures and instructions, the mode of examination for commis sions, and the rules for the examination of assistant surgeons previous to promotion, have been printed in a War-office document bearing date October the 17th. The Gazelle of last evening publishes a return of the state of the officers, seamen, and Royal Marines wounded in the action at the inauth of the river Peal°, on the 23th of June last, forwarded by Rear- Admiral Hops in a letter dated the 30th of August, 1839.

THE 610.1 M LAST NIGHT. About 9 o'clock last night the wind, which had been to the northward of west, suddenly shifted to the S.W. with every indication of • coming storm, end at 10 o'clock the rain fell in torrents, deluging the carriage ways end suburban roods to the depth of several Inches; the wind freshened gradually, end at midnight, when the rain reared, it bad Increased to • violent gele,which, freshening on the flood tide, amumed the awe< of • furious hurricane at high water. During the night the storm raged with each violence in the suburbs, that several houses in the vicini ties of Wandsworth and Battersea were partially woofed. end the streets end roads were strewed with broken pantiles, bricks, end chimney pots. At St. Themes's and Guy's Hospitals, several persons who had been injured by falling materials had their wounds dressed.

THE Z01T414 CASE A deputation, consisting of the popular and die- I , tingnithed friend, of civil end religious liberty, was to have waited, by appointment, upon Lord John Russell, her Majesty's foreign secretory, at the Foreign-office, this after noon, to lay before his lordship a protest against the present proceedings of the Papal authorities In the Mortara case, and to request that " her Majesty's government, me they should *she any part In the settlement of the Italian guernsey will cause the subject of the Papal treatment of the Jews to be brought before the consideration of the governments of Europe." The secretary to the deputabon,however, received s communication from his lordship, intimating that as him lordship was suffering from a slight cold, it would be mote convenient to him to receive them on Saturday next. At & kite agricultural Meeting at Dorking & Mr. Wise was so unfortunate as to remark That he could venture to say that, at all events, not • mart of the Surrey Rifle Volunteers would hide behind • bush or a tree." This observation has brought down upon the unhappy gentleman the wrathful sad bitter sarcasms of Lieutenant -General W. Napier. That gallant officer proclaims that the art of hiding behind trees and bushes, rocks, sticks, and stones, is " the very swiss of modern warfare. The teaching regular soldiers :how to move in masses is an absolutely necessary founda tion to support the superstructure of real warfare, which is, in fact, this very hiding behind stick' and stones. A great deal is said shoat taymet charges and solid onsets of heavy columns, but much lees of that takes place than is supposed by am who only read of war; three-fourths of every battle between regular armies depend upon the stick and stone practice, and the whole of a battle, as between volunteer rifle corps and regular troops, will de pend upon the former's skill In hiding." The general proceeds to give some practical directions as to this mode of defence, end adds .—" I feel sure that with this system Eng lend may be successfully defended against any number., but I do not think London can be defended so easily; it is too seer the coast, and there must be for ha defence combin•tkoa between the regular army outside and the metropolitan volun teers inside, who must be taught how to occupy lines of homes, and docks, and canals, and bridges ; and the best of those lines should now be examined and marked out upon maps for the Instruction of the city volantsere, if any ►hould be enrolled. For my part, I t►iek all able to bear arms should be enrolled in time. I hope It will be so, for assuredly • very dangerous crisis Is impending."

This being one of the days for striking the half yearly balance at the Bank, the transfer offices at that establishment are closed, and a holiday is ob served on the Stock Exchange, according to custom. To-day is also a holiday on the Paris Bourse. A fair amount of business was done yesterday at the Discount-office at the Bank, and in the open market the best bills were generally refused below 21 per cent., an active demand being experienced. This was partly in connexion with the payment of 440,000/. due yesterday on the new Victoria Govern ment Debentures. A considerable portion of this Loan having been taken in the Stock Exchange, the demand for money in that establishment was also brisker, and 21 per cent. was offered for loans on government securities, bat only for short periods. The debentures were again in demand yesterday, and closed at 109! to not, or 2 premium. The Great Indian Peninsula Railway Company have also paid to the Secretary of State for India in Coun cil on capital account the large sum of 443,6001. on account of calls due on the 29th inst., and pay ments in full upon the shares. To-day an instalment of 14 per cent. falls due on the Russian Loan. From the Indian advioes we gather that news had arrived out of the successful launch ing in London of the 6,000,000/. Loan, which commanded a trifling premium. The intelligecce pr-duced a favourable effect ; but, although combined with a very easy state of the money market at Calcutta, had not caused any improvement of int , portanoe in the prices of government securities. The open Five-and-a-Half per Cent. Loan still stood at nearly 6 per cent discount. There were no transactions in bullion at the Bank yesterday. Of the 153,0001. by the Teuton* 12,0001. in gold was bought for exportation : nearly all the rest consisted of Mexican dollars. The steamer La Pl►ta has arrived from the West Indies with 347,0001. in specie, and the City of Manchester, from New York, with 71,0001.. The Orwell; which is on the way from Melbourne to England, has on freight 42,225 oz. of gold, worth 168,0001. The Red Jacket was to leave on the let of September with a further large amount. Of the vessels reported by the last overland mail, only thee remain at sea, viz.:—The George Marshall (out 83 dap). with 119,0001. ; Dingo (out 80 days), with 75.0001. ; and the Plicenician (oat 80 days), with 35,0001. It appears from the China letters that the adverse movement in the exchanges does not exceed 1 per cent. At Calcutta the alteration is trifling. The underwriters at Lloyd's required yesterday 40 per cent. for insuring the gold by the ito7al Charter. The advance in the rate was tensed principally by the receipt of a communication from Lloyd's agent, dated hloell'ra, Oct. 30, mentioning that divers had descended and examined the after part of the noel, bat, owing to the confusion, could not ascertain whether the bullion-room was intact. Its safety was looked upon as doubtful from the appearance of the wreck, and from the circumstance of portions of gold boxes having been picked up, besides a bar of gold. It is also mentioned that 300 sovereigns have been taken from the bodies of dead passengers. The divers have recovered some ingots of copper, which were stored in the oriop deck, just before the bullion room. Should the boxes have been broken, there will be some difficult yin finding the gold. At this period of the year the uncertain weather imposes fresh obstacles to diving operations. The secretary of the Madras Irrigation Company informs us that the sum of 13,1381. has this day been paid into the Indian Treasury to the credit of this company, in advance of calls, and making with previous payments of a like nature a total of 402,8331. received since the 27th Feb. last by the Secretary of State for India in Council on account of capital, 11. per share only (i.e., 60,0001.) having been called up. With reference to the railway question the Ceylon Observer of the 30th Sept. contains the following: Though it presents no new phase, the railway question is still our most interesting topic. In our last we were enabled to give a faint outline of the proceedings of the Legislative Council, but in our present true will be found a fall report of the debates on the subject. The able speech of the Governor has excited diroontent. The conflicting animates have not frightened away contractors, and we view it as a good ern that one, Mr. Chapman, of the firm of Waring Brothers, enived by the lest mail to look over the ground. The weekly traffic return of the Great Western Railway of Canada, just received, shows a decrease of 1621. sterling. The Brighton Railway traffic return presents an increase of 571. It appears that the meeting of shareholders in the Nassau Railway Company, referred to in our impres sion of yesterday, is not convened by the company, but is at the invitation of certain French share holders. The bulk of the capital of this company is, we believe, held in England. The shares of the Cape Town Railway . and Dock Company are now quoted as with 31. paid. The prospectus of the London Ropery Company (Limited), is issued. The proposed capital is 30,0001. (subject to increase), in 101. shares. The object of this undertaking is to purchase and work the busi ness of "one of the most extensive rope makers in the metropolis," from which very large returns are stated to have been realised. It is proposed to extend the business so as to embrace every branch of the trade. The investigation of the books of the firm has been entrusted to Messrs. Quitter, Ball, Jay, and Co., the accountants. The present pro prietors are willing to receive the whole of the ptirchasetmoney for the machinery, stock, leases, and patent process in sharer, and to waive all claim to, dividends on them until a dividend of 15 per cent. is realised and payable to the other shareholders. The last advices from St. Petersburg state the ship ments of tallow at 83,000 casks. The price was quoted 60 silver roubles, and the exchange on Lon don 340. The weather was mild. A correspondent in the tallow trade sends us the following : The market continues in a quiet state, with scarcely say thing doing beyond what is requited for immediate wants. The delivery last week was 2,187 cask.. against 3,230 la 1658, 2.828 in 1857. bad 3 411 in 1856. The stock is 43,816 Leeks, against 14,439 in 1858, 22,310 in 1867, cad 12,260 in 1856.

DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT MURDER AND SUICIDE. —One of the most desperate attempts at murder sad suicide which it has ever been our painful duty to mooed occurred at a 'mall village called Bed wick, near Teornbury, Gloucester shire, and, as may be supposed the excitement ia very great In the neighbourhood. The allowing are the principal facts of the case :—A labouring man named James February, about 26 years of age, hen for the lent three years been cohabiting with • widow named Emma Mabeett ; the man also lodged at the house which wag occupied by the motheriin.law of the injured woman, but he having lately got in airier with his paymecte, and h a ving t a k en to drinking tco freely, incurred the displeasure of his mistress, which resulted in his being dismrded by her about three watt since. February was greatly exasperated, and has frequently remarked that if Mrs. klabbett, the mother-in law, left her home fur any time, somethi n g dreadful would happen, but it was not imagined anything so horrible was contemplated. Since his being cast off he has led • more dissolute life, and is supposed to have ametandy watched the cottage in which the woman dwelt. He hag also been seen with • vizor in his pownesion for more than a fortnight past. On Saturday morning bat the mother-inilew of Emma Mabbett, having occasion to go to Bristol, left her house for that purpose, leaving her daughteriinilaw at home, when at about eight o'clock the neighbours were horrified by the cries of "Murder I" proceeding from the house, and on their hastening to the spot they found the woman with her bead out of the upstairs window, bleeding most profusely from several deep gashes in her throat, the blood running all down the wall. On their entering the hews they found the room door fastened, which was at once broken open ; she was also bleeding from her hands. The man February wee also in the room lying on Ma face, the blood flowing from • deep cut in the throat, and the razor lying by his side, broken Into several fragments. Dr. Taylor, who resides near, was summoned, and the police were sent for, also other doctors. The woman then ruabed out of the apartment, and several women rendered her ever y assistance. Scon after this police sergeant Ireland, of the dust station, arrived. and on his going upstairs he found the man as before de scribed, and still bleeding on the floor. Dra. Powell and Day were by this rime present, and their attention was directed te the man, their efforts soon reviving him • little, and after the wounds of both were dressed as well as possible it was deemed advieable to convey them to the Bristol Infirmary, where they now remain In • very precarious state. The constable Mut since discovered that February was drinking te excess the previous night, and he is supposed to have been waiting in an outhouse near to be arm& of the absence of the other woman, when he cautiously entered, having first pulled e.ff his shoes, which were found at the bottom of the stairs, and committed the rash acts. On hie way to the infirmary he frequently remarked that ft "was a very Ira job." But slight hopes are entertained of their recovery.

BRIGANDAGE NEAR Roue.—The Chevalier G midi% enthusiasm in the ewe of archer logy and art ham more than once (says • letter from Rome in the Post) broush: him into personal peril in the more desolate pane of the Cameo mina round Rome. A novel kind of disaster, however, for a lover of antiquities, beset him • few days ago. He had been to Naples for the purpose of purchmiug rune recently discovered and interesting objects, hut was suddenly re called to Rome before having had time to couplets the negotiations. Returning to ltome with the coulter in the mail-coach. whilst paring a cane plentatien in the locality so celebrated for brigand exploits, between Vahan and Germano, about halt-an-hour after deck, a whistle was heard, and the pasilions Immediately stop ped their home*, dismounted, and prose-wed themselves with due subruisatta in the dust. Three highway torn im mediately ran out from the canes and presented thinned/es on both soles of the carriage. demanding money from the courier and the Chevalier Gunk, who wee the only passenger. The brigands, who*e fame wee, walked, were armed with guile and daggers, which they held up to enforce compliance with their requests. Signor Guidi at once gore up his watch and a dozen piastre", which he had for his traveling ex. wane in his waistcoat pocket, but the brig tads inti mated with scornful gesture that they were not going to be satisfied with a paltty nun bite that. Signor °midi, who had with him • sum of 200 ecudf. which be had taken with bun for the purchase of eati.ri , lea at Napes, perceiving or fancying that the brigands bad informa tion of that feet, reluctantly drew forth hie I. .g of gold, bidding them observe that the nun wee e . tree.; " for," says he taaercount, "I was only three days in Naples, and I wee not even obliged t t spend anvth'ng ftr my dinners, us I dined the that day +Ph the Prince of Biaignano, the emend will the Ay-et-die Nuncio, and the third at • convent of friars." The brigands having grimly listened to this exp'anarfon, prkr:lt'd the cash, and beetles out the c,utier rn uoe side and the che valier on the other, placed them with their faces downwarde on the road, one of their number mounting guard with levelled blundetbuss over etch of their pr.ntrate victim', whilst the third robber jumped into the vehicle- which he actively rummaged for more hidden treasure.
