Mr. John Dingwall has this day been promoted to the rank of engineer in her Majesty's fleet, with seniority of sth August, 1868. CHATHAM, Auousr 14. This morning the shipwrights and mechanics at this dockyard commenced laying the keel-blocks in the third dock for the new powerM turret armour-clad ship Glatton, which is ordered to be built at this establish ment from the designs of Mr. E. J. Reed, chief constructor of the navy, who has been requested by the Admiralty to furnish the drawings and plans for a powerful ironclad single turret ship for coast defence. The Glatton will be of 246 feet in length and 49 feet in breadth, with a burden of 2,700 tons, and a mean draught of water of 19 feet. She will be furnished with one turret, protected by armour-plating 14 inches in thicknees, and in which will be mounted two guns, each of 25 tons—the largest yet placed on board a vessel of war. She is to be completed and ready for undocking before the close of the next financial year. The whole of the officers and men of the A troop of the Royal Engineer Train have arrived at Wouldhem, near Rochester, from Aldershot, for the purpose of going through a course of pontooning instruction in the Medway. MEDICAL OFFICERS IN THE NAVY.—The Army and Navy Gazette says that the dearth of medical officers is still severely felt throughout the navy, and, unless the Lords of the Admiralty shortly adopt some conciliatory measures, the consequences will, at no distant period, be found to be very inconvenient. The candidates at Somer set-house are not the bed specimens, and perhaps the idea of a naval medical college will crop up again. WANT OF EMPLOYMENT IN THE EAVY.—The same journal points out that the introduction of armour plated ships into the service is beginning gradually, but slowly, to produce effects which, probably, were not fore seen. As fewer of these formidable veesels, in compa rison with our old "wooden walls," will be required for the defence of the country, so, in proporfion, will a less number of officers be requisite, and the consequence is that already do lieutenants and even sub-lieutenants find difficulty in obtaining active employment. THE FIRST LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY.—The United Streire Gazette regrets to hear that Mr. Corry has been ordered to Germany to recruit his health, it being feared that he will he unable to resume the duties of his important office. MILITARY MEMEL —We believe that Field- Marshal Sir Hew Boee will be the new Lieutenant- Governor of Chelsea Hospital, in the room of Field- Marshal Sir Alexander Woodford, who ' as we stated last week, succeeds Sir Edward Blakeney in the governorship. Lieut.-General Sir George Bell, K.C.8., now colonel of the 32nd Light Infantry, will succeed Sir Edward Blakeney as colonel of the /Loyale, the regiment in which be long served, and one of the battalions of which he commanded. The colonelcy of the Royals, heretofore worth 1,5001. a year, is now . placed on the same scale of pay as the other infantry regiments, viz., I,OOW. a year. This arrange ment was made some time back to be carried out upon the occurrence of the next vacancy, and a similar reduction is likely to take place as regards the colonelcy of the King's Dragoon Guards, the next holder of which will only re ceive the ordinary 1,3501., instead of 1,800/. a year. The colonelcy of the 32nd Light Infantry, vacant by the transfer of Sir George Bell to the Ist Royale, will be filled by Major-General Lcrd Frederick Panlet, C. 8., who stands next on the list to Major-General J. F. Glancairn Campbell, appointed lately to the 79th High landers. The good service pension of 1001. a year vacant by General Campbell's appointment to the colonelcy of the 79th, has been given to Colonel the Hon. C. D.

A CHURCHWARDEN'S SCRUPLES.—At the weekly meeting of the St. Pancras board of guardians on Thurs day an application was received from a Mrs. Mead for permission to take an orphan boy, named John Brown, out of the parish school. The applicant was a nurse in a gentleman s family, had known the lad's mother, and had taken his sister from the workhouse, and placed her in a school, and afterwards obtained her a situation in a family. She wished to place the boy in a school, and ap prentice him to a trade. The clerk, in answer to a ques tion from a guardian, said Mrs. Head was a Roman catholic, and the boy was willing to become a Roman catholic when taken away. Mr. Churchwarden Furniss questioned whether the guardians were justified in giving such facilities for children being taken away to be brought up as Roman catholics. The chairman (Mr. Wyatt) said they allowed any one to take away a child to be brought up as a protestant, and he didnot Nee why they should object to any one taking a child to be brought up as a Roman catholic. The application was granted. ROMAN CATHOLICISM DI SALISBURY.—The in terest which Lady Herbert of Lea has since her conver sion evinced in the progress of catholicism in Salisbury and the neighbourhood had yesterday another illustration in the opening, and under her auspices, of a new mission of dimity. A. house in Desaux-place, almost adjoining the watts of the Bishop of Saliss palace, has been taken by Lady Herbert and fitted as a Home for Sisters ps ChOnt7 w tin Stalcirai city, The SomeSome was for mally °peby the Rev. Dr. Clifford, the catholic bishop of the diocese, and the Rev. Father Colinbier, of Bristol, the Rev. P. Seddon, the resident priest, being unavoidably absent. Lady Herbert and the sisters who are about to undertake the work of this new mission of visiting the sick and educating the children of the catholic poor, and who arrived at Salisbury on the previous even ing, were also present. It is said that an effort bad been previously made to purchase more commodious pre mises for the Home in the centre of the city, but the owner refused to part with them to the catholic body. Adjoining St. Osmond's Roman catholic church, in the city, extensive new schools are now in progress, the work being greatly indebted to the liberality of Lady Herbert, who, though residing at Wilton-house, three miles dis tant. is a daily worshipper at St. Osmond's church. - - How TO SUPPLEMENT THE DEFICIENT HAY CROP.—Mr. Martin Hope Sutton writes:—" The best substitute for the natural grasses will be the Italian /3 grass, the new seed of w • should be sown immediate at the rate of three or four bushels per acre, which w . under favourable circumstance, be ready for feeding be fore Christmas (without sewage or artificial culture), and will in April or May next present an invaluable crop. As a substitute for red clover the trifolium incarnatum will be usefully sown at the rate of 281 b. por acre, but the seed of this article seems to be scarce and dear this season, and if sown later than the end of the present month the crop is very apt to disappear during the winter. The leas of the swede crop may, in some measure, be com pensated for in the southern counties by sowing the quicker growing turnips, as a few showers upon the fresh-sown turnip fields, while the earth is so warm, will cause the seed to germinate quickly, and the ' tu rnip fly' having now disappeared, there is no further ground for appre hension of failure from that cause. Mustard and rape seeds may be sown with advantage for autumn and spring feed, but whatever is done should be done quickly, as one day in August is worth two or three days in September." A discovery of human remains has just been made in the neighbourhood of Shap, Westmorland, where men are engaged by the side of the London and North- Western Railway cutting stone for ballast for the line. One of them, as he was striking his " pick" into the stone, came in contact with something which felt soft. On examining it he found that it was a skull, and other bones were found. They appeared to have belonged to a full grown male. The place where the bones were found was at one time waste ground; and frequented by triple*, hence it is conjectured that the remains are those eiWr of some of the giry tribe or of some one who had fallen into their hands. SPORTING NOTES. TUE Etude HANDIOAP.—The " prophets " do not appear to difter, to any considerable extent, as to the probable winner of the Ebor Handicap at York., on Thursday next. Brlta Life anticipates the success of Mr. T. Dawson's " best," Tibouret or Mandrake, next to which Thu Spy is the most likely to carry away tho honour. The Firld, • Augur" of the Sporting Lofe, and "Beacon " of the Sporting Gazette, are of the same opinion. " Touchstone," of the Bra, is in favour of Taraban or Tabouret, while " Wizard" and "Vigilant," of the Sportsman, look for the winner in The Spy, Tabouret and 'Anshan being placed second and third by "the Wizard." The brand National Hunt Meeting will, says the Sport ing Gmette, be held at Wetherby again, next year, and not in Cheshire, as was generally expected. The latter county certainly possesses great claims to a visit from an institution ostensibly established for the improvement of the breed of hunters, whose meetings were to be migratory. Aomnr..vr TO Ma. A. YATES.—This celebrated gentleman rider met with an accident while riding Contraband in a steeple-chase at Boulogne on Thursday. The horse threw Mr. Yates heavily at the Irish bank, breaking his collar bone. With his well-known pluck, however, he re mounted, and actually rode a splendid race to the finish, some two miles, coming in third, a position which would probably have been improved had he been able to use his whip. As might be expected, this display of pluck and determination produ a great effect on our excitable neighbours. Mr. Yates, it will be remembered, was the hero of the Croydon Cup race in 1866, when Harold, hay ing thrown his rider at the "sensational" jump, was "collared" by the tail, re-mounted, and actually ridden home the winner by the gallant gentleman, amidst the uproarious shouts of the whole company.—Sportionao. Tins YOUKEHLIRM AND NXIDILDOUBING 1100/18.—A cor respondent of the Field, writing from Penistono on Thursday evening, says :—" Notwithstanding the great disaster and the wholesale destruction of grouse which took place by fire on the Redmires, Bradfield, and other moors, the season was opened as usual on the 12th of August. The devastation has not been equalled in extent since the month of July, 1826, when the majority of the moors in the West Riding were in conflagration. Up to Tuesday many sportsmen doubted the wisdom of shooting, the heather and peat being everywhere in such a dry state as to be liable to take fire; but at an early hour in the morn ing their fears were set at rest by a heavy thunderstorm, which was followed by rain during meet of the day. The ts are favourable, except on those moors where the prospects devouring .sec element has been at work. Birds everywhere are reported as pretty numerous and in fine condition. The opening day was a very favourable one, but the birds seemed to defy all the efforts of the sportsmen to get near them, being so strong on the wing as to rise in large numbers and evade the shots. A SUSGEON 4CCIDEATALLY 8110 T. A sad accident occurred at the Culham Railway station on Wednesday evening, by which Mr. John Robert Dunn, assistant to Mr. Byes, surgeon, of Dorchester, lost his life. Mr. Dunn was waiting at the station for the train, whim he lent a mall pocket pistol to a porter named Lynes, and while the latter was examining the weapon it accidentally went off, the ball entering the right side of the deceased, from the effects of which he died a few hours afterwards. The deceased, who was about 24 years of age, had taken a ticket to Reading, and was on his way to Rent for his summer holiday. W. Brunner, coroner, held an inquest at the Railway Station Inn, Culham, on Thursday evening, and the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death. DEATII OF SIR CLAUDE W. C. DE CRESPIONY, BART.—We have to record the death of Sir Claude W. Champion de Creepigny, Bart., of Champion Lodge, county Surrey, who died on Tuesday last at Wyvenhoe Hall, Ewes, after • long and painful illness. The late baronet was the eldest son of the gallant Captain Augustus J. Champion de Crceplgny, of the royal navy, who had served under Nelson and Collingwood. The deceased baronet was born 25th June, 1818, and married 22nd August, 1843, Mary, second daughter of Sir John Tysseu Tyrell, Bart.. of Boreham House, formerly M.P. for North Essex. On the death of his grandfather he succeeded to the baronetcy. The late baronet was edu cated at Winchester School, and afterwards completed his education at Trinity College, Cambridge, at which uni versity he graduated B.A. in Ism, and M.A. in 1840. The baronetcy was first conferred upon the deceased baronet's grandfather by the Prince liegent (afterwards George IV.), on his reception of his royal highness at Champion Lodge, Camberwell, in October, 1800. WE.MLEYAN CONVERESCE.—Yestorday an im portant question was brought before the conference affecting the funds of the Theological Institutions. It was stated that the expenditure was much in excess of the income, and that if the relative position of income and ex penditure continued for two years longer, a debt of some 3,000/. would be the result. It was resolved that, subject to the direction of superintendents, a collection should be made to meet the emergency.

A RATTI.I:IO BTonx.—The following is reported in the country papers :—" A storm of snails has fallen at liilbury-heath, near Thornbury. The storm reached alongthe turnpike road for a distance of about 101 or 130 yards, and lasted about ten minutes, covering the road with a quantity of small shelled anode, similar tone snails. borne pet-bona m the neighbourhood recollect a similar oc currence at Tockington. a few miles distant, about forty years ago. Another somewhat remarkable affair has re cently been noticed near Thornbury. During several days the earth for eeveral miles adjoining the river Severn, in the neighbourhood of Cowhill, Oldbury, and Shipper dine, was thickly covered with insects commonly called " lady cows." It was impossible to walk along the worth without being covered with them; and persons bathing, who left theirplothes on the worth, on returning found them completffiy covered with them. The insects were somewhat finer than those of the same kind usually seen. " 'THE 'rwELYnt " In Nownt WALES.—The sport in the Bala district of North Wales, where the beet grouse moors lie, proved better than was anticipated on the opening day. The rain and the cool breezes made the ascent of the mountains comparatively easy and very pleasant, and caused the scent to lie well. The old birds seemed in wonderful condition, though deficient in their usual pluck and spud, running away from the sportsmen in place of wildly flying from them. The young birds were found to be very small and weak, but these were scarcely any signs of disease. The best birds were found in the knee-deep heather, and in the reedy and marshy spots on the mountain tops. It rained very heavily all day on the 13th, so that no shooting was to be had. The officers of the 2nd Life Guards, who rent the Rhiewedog moors, were prevented by their military ditties from shooting on the opening day. The promises of sport later on, web hares, partridges, and pheasants, are unusually satisfactory, and will doubtless repay many sportsmen for their disappointments on the moors.

THE FRENCH ATLADrno CABLE.—The Meniteur publishes the following note :—" In a letter addressed to the Reece of the 13th August, MM. Elachmore and Eugene Delambert persist in affirming that oral as well as written engagements bad been entered into with them, and that they have a legal right to the concession of the submarine telegraph to the United States. The govern ment repel each insinuations as entirely erroneous. The administration, which, in such matters, has been careful to employ only the regular and unimpeachable methods of public tender, to which it has had recourse three times, awaits and hopes that the claimants will at last decide on carrying their complaint before the council of state, which is the only jurisdiction in such a difference. A longer hesitation on their part would be a tacit admission of the absurdity of their pretensions." A statistical work, just published in Austria, axes in the following proportions the nationality of the ...elation in that empire :-8,782,000 Germane • • .21,400 Cthecks, Moraviana and Slaves ; 2,380,000 Poles; 2,886,000 Rutheniana ; 1,203,600 Slovens; 5,400,800 Magyars; 2,916,000 Croatian or Servians ; 2,884,000 Roumanians ; 1,121,000 Jews ; 689,100 Italians ; 162,800 Zingari ; 63,800 Bulgarian; Armenians, Greeks, &c. That country contains 26,600,000 Catholics, 3,100,000 Greeks, 2,400,000 Protestants, and about a million of Jews ; the remainder consist of Armenians, Unitarians, Mahometans, and members of various other creeds. The soil of Austria produces yearly on an average, 518 mil lions of bushels of grain of all kinds; 203 millions of bushels of potatoes; two millions of tons of beetroot, and 240 millions of gallons of wine. PRINTED MAIL MATTER.—It is a remarkable fact that when there were only three mail steamers monthly between San Francisco and Panama, the average number of bags of printed mail matter received was about eighty. Now there are four steamers per month, the number has increased to one hundred and fifty bags.— Petrone Star. TUE WEATHER IN THE NORTH OF IRELAND. — Rain fell heavily and continuously from early morning yesterday, and still pours away, showing no sign of weary ing. The green crop are reported as having already bene tited considerably by it, and will probably be the better of more ; but we should be afraid that the ripe grain, cut and uncut, must suffer somewhat if dry days do not come soon.--Vo) there Whig. This being the first week of the rise in the Brighton Company's fares a great improvement in the take, rays /I/rape/h. was expected, but in place of that there is some decrease, Th e deesimee io only because there was a large increase last year owing to the Paris Exhibition this thee in that year. The South Eastern traffic increase would have been much greater bad not the return com pared against the exhibition traffic of last year. The traffics generally in the corresponding week of last year were ex tremely high. Hence the reason, or a principal reason, that they are so dull now. STRANGLED BY A HAYBAND.—At Tullig, county Limerick, a girl named Eliza Collins, aged 14 years, has met her death in a most extraordinary manner. She was fastenedcar a basket of potatoes from the fi eld on her back, by a hay rope, which was thrown over her head and across her chest to enable her to bear her load; but the band slipped in 110C118 unaoriountable manner, got on her throat, and strangled her before any one saw her. The poor child had not strength enough to right herself under her heavy burden. NEGLECTED CHILDREN.—In the new Poor-law Act there is a provision which will " work well" if en forced--to summon parents who neglect to provide food, clothing, medical adVies, or lodging for their children under 14 years of age.

The roe receipts on 14 of the principal railways in the United Kingdom amounted for the week on 9,640 miles, to 697,441, and for the corresponding week of last year on 9.384 miles, to 708,7041.. showing an increase of 225 milea,and a decrease of 11,2631.

Thursday was the last day for receiving appli cations for allotments in the new French Loan of 17,600,0001. sterling; and the advises received yes terday state that the operation proved successful beyond any previous precedent in France or else where. The applications were for an amount equal to between thirty and forty times the entire loan. Taking the mean at thirty-five, the total applications would represent the fabulous sum of 610,000,0001. sterling, or somewhere about 100,000,0001. more than the national debt of France ! Of course, many parties applied for simply speculative purposes, but the fact of such an aggregate proves that real confidence exists in France notwithstanding the depression of trade. It proves, too, that there is a rational desire to diminish the amount of unemployed and idle capital, for the small deposits must have been little short of the whole loan. It is understood, from the language used by M. Magne in the Legis lative Chamber, that small applications from the people will be allotted in full. If this principle be maintained all others will have very little chance indeed ; and it is a liberal estimate to say that the most they can expect will be less than 21 per coat. An impression appears to prevail that a large proportion of the gold taken from the Bank of England for France during the last fortnight will come back. It is possible that some amount may return, but it is improbable that the whole, or any large proportion, will be sent here. It will only come when it is profitable for it to come. Once fixed in France it can no more come back out of the ordinary course than if it had been sent any where else ; but it will obey the ordinary law of demand. The vastness of the amount held by the Bank of France, to which the attention of the commercial interests of France will be more strongly directed by the success of the loan, may, however, tend to stimulate trade by the confidence it ought to inspire ; and an animated trade would give us back just that amount of gold which we ought to have, and no more. There were no bullion operations at the Bank yesterday. The steamer Poonah, from Alexandria, has brought 32,0001. in specie. The Ripon will take to-day only 1001. in gold for Aden.
