PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 24. A private letter received from Shanglise an nounces that the Scout left YokuhemA, Japan, fur Shanghae oe the 10th of January, in company with the imperious°, which had small pox on board very seriously (92 cases), so that the latter vessel made all sail for Hung Eon. The Encounter was left es guard-ship at Yollubanui, and the Scoutproceeded to Nepaeki. She arrived there on the lrith. The ulcan, steam transport, was lying there, having come from the Gulf of Pecheli, leaving the Furious there alone, murounded by ice. As the Scout w a leaving Nagasaki en the 19th she spoke the Scotland, hired trans =which was proceeding in search of the odel. The latter vessel had bean reported lost with Admiral }lope on board. Nothing had been heard of her since leaving Chosen, four days before, and much condemn. tson was caused by that annimecamont. She, however, was safe, bet had boon ou a rock for twenty-four hours, and was nearly wrecked. Fortunately the machinery was not damaged, and the engines kept her afloat by discharging water from the bilge. She is now waiting to go iu dusk. Admiral Hope heisted his flag on board the Centaur, where the was to remain until the Coromandel was repaired. The Pioneer wee to leave in two days for North Japan, to relieve the Encounter. At Shanglith were the Centaur, Scout, Chesapeake, Roebuck, Renard, Soaks, and several gunboats. An expedition, under the oesoniand of Admiral Hops, was cootemplated to cheek the rebels on the Yang -tae-Kiang. The Scout was to remain at Sbanghae as guardship. The mail steamer Formosa was to leave on the 2-rrth, to convey General Hope Omit and staff passengers to Hong Kong. By a private letter received from the Cape of Good }lope we kern that Rear-Admiral Sir Henry Koppel, commander. la-chief at the Cape of Good Hope, has requested of the Admiralty to strike his flag, in order that certain charges made in reference to him may be investigated, and in consequence of which charges be has hem superseded by Sir Baldwin Walker, and removed to South America as corn mandor-in -chief of that station. Os Saturday morning Major-General lard W. Palliat e the oommander-in-ehief of the south-western diatriet, made his :ialf-yeurly inspection of the 2nd battalion of the 19th Riin giment, stationed in this garrison. The 2nd Win/kedges 11th Regiment will be inspected to-morrow. WOOLWICH, NAME 24. The second division of the tint brigade Royal Artillery, consisting of three batteries, are ordered to ememble on parade a, an early hour to-morrow, and after inspection to march to the dockyard and embark on board the steam troop vessel Mem* for Gibraltar. The force was under orders to embark yesterday, but the Megiera was delayed in consequence of some tubes connected with her boilers requiring repair. A detachment of 100 rank and Ere of the 100th /tegument, which arrived at Woolwich yesterday, will also embark on board the Megwra, and • limited number of soldiers' wives and children will acmes may the force to Gibraltar. CAVALRY RROIN ENT& —The changes in the dif ferent cavalry regiments which are "under consideration" are of a very startling character. They are the result of the deliberations of a committee of officers, of which Sir T. Brothertoo, Sir A. Clifton, Lords Lunn and Cardigen, Ge neral Lawrenson ' and Sir William Russell were memben. We understand that, among other changes, the present Li ht Dragoon Begiments are all to be made either Hus sars or Lancers, and the three new regiments, the 19th, 10th, and 21st, will be Hawn. We shall wait with re needful patience for the MUMS which have induced these experiseced °Moen to rearm:need what, in the absence of such reasons, appears to us to be a very silly, or rather misehievons and entirely ureelled.for rissengstment of the part of the cavalry *anima—Army and Navy = er te . Ptii;TOniD WM:Mr= Esteastrussrr.—The pro position whin bee been made to Loud Herbert, for the for mation of au encampment upon Wanstead Ante (a portico of Waltham Forest) io June, July, and August next, for the toxemia and instruction of the newly fanned rifle corps in London and its vicinity, is se follows :—" That a detach ment of the Royid Artillery, with a battery of field guns, and a company of the Royal Engineer's, should be encamped upon Waustead date during the months of June, July, sod August, with a certain number of spure tents for the use of the volunteers, a& that • general ofiloerr, with a staff, be appointed to take the entire command and direction of all volunteers of every description who may be desirous of availing themselves of the optortunity of assembling there for one or two nights in the week, and learning the ilut t lg pasting sentries, pickets, outposts, ea., which would be able to do without inconvenience, a portion of them returning to London in the day time to pursue their bushman nem:attars. By these means much practical instruction might be afforded the volunteer officers and men, without any great cost to the country, as all they would require would be the loan of the bare tents, all Masbate or straw that' might be wanted being provided by the volunteers themselves. The Eastern Counties Railway Company have promised to carry all volunteers to and from the ground (Forest-gate Sta:ion) at sixpence per head, for the double journey, and which may be performed either way in about 15 minutes—United B!retee Gazette. We (Army and Navy Gazetb) understand that oßeirs returning horn* from India, via the Cape, in chirp at invalids, will be allowed to count as service in India the three months following the date rit their departure hos that eauelry. It is reported (says the United Sergio. Gazette)that Bear Admiral Sir H. Keppel has declined towel:it the ewes mead of the South American station, and that, cm being re lieved by Sir Baldwin Walker, be will name to The committee for the Garibaltlian funitt a t he purchase of a million of muskets, has published Its accounts, from which it appears that it had received 1,939,577 fr., which were all employed in purchasing arms and stores fat Gai:brildes expedition. The committee, in concludes, de clares itself dissolved, " the object for which it was fanned having hem attained." DINNER OF THE BUBScRIFTION CLUB TO THE TWO CREWS: — On Saturday evening the Thames Subscription Club, per sided over by the Hoe. G.

Right and left of the eltainsas rot Mr. Haar., who represented the ceptain of the Weed mew, and the captain of the Cambridge crew ' who, although vanquished, was full of resolution to turn the tables next year. There were also present the captains of the Eto Westminster, and Thames rowing clubs, and about 190 guests, swoops whom me recognised the following gentle men : Hoc. A. Thesiger , C. Du Pri, Esq., M.P., Had*, Russell, EN., M.P., G. Moffatt, Esq., M.P., Hugh Chß dere !sq., M.P., Sir J.

Smith, Req., secretary. Os the removal of the cloth, The CHAIRMAN gave the usual loyal toasts ; the health of the Queen being received in silence, in consequesee of the recent royal bereavement. In preeceing the " Primed Walls,* the chairman remioded the company that his royal highness bad kept • " four oar' oa the Thanes, and was member of both Oxford and Cambridge clubs. The toasts of the army, navy. and volunteers, were se imowledged by Captains Hensler and Bushby, and Mr. Pits. sena The Wad of the Honey of Commons was responded to by Mr. Do PRE. The CHAIRMAN roes to propose the health of the victo rious Oxford aww, but the cheering was no proteacted and vociferous that he had to make several vain appeals belies be was able to obtaia • hearing. In tbe coons of some warm compliments on the prowess sad skill which had been die played in the race by the winners, the chairman observed that, although be might have often seen • more excitiog race, he had sever seen eoe in which he had been so pleased with what be might .all the rhythm of the rowan. As as old oarsman himself, he felt justified in saying that he had Dever seen more skill, pluck, and bottom, than had been displayed by the Oxford crew. The chairman concluded with some encouraging ob. servatious,eddreased to the Cambridge crew. The resump tion of his seat by the chairman was the signal for another burst of cheering. Mr. HOARE, 14 the absence of Mr. Morrison, catill of be Oxford club, returned thanks for the victors. e Ox ford mew had done their work well, which nobody could deep. hter.) The Cambridge mew had also done their beat, which nobody could deny. (Laughter.) But if the Oxford could have aa good • crew next year as they had had this, the Cambridge would be beaten again, which, nobody could deny. (Loud laughter.) To pass any eulogiuff on the Cambridge crew would of course be quite superfluous on his part (Gnat laughter.) Besides which he was not good at making • speech, and must make up for the de ficiency by winning soother race next year. (Cheers.) The toast of " The Cambridge Crew" was received with, if possible, more cheering than bad bees awarded to the previous toast.

THE NECESSITY OF AN EARLIER PUNLIci- TIONoi 71751AliFiiiiitis: • (Prom the Money Market literier.) The Bank returns are made up on the Wedneci day of emit week, and are placed before the Bout Omni at ita usual ineetiag ou Thursday. By the favouratile or u[- favourable nature of those returns the directors are stik posed to be guided in raising or lowering the rate of dg`.. count. Now there oars be no reason, save that of custom, why A copy of these returns should not be posted up in the Bank Hall on Thursday, after the court breaks up. The pliblic ought not to be obliged to wait unti► Saturday morning fore they can ascertain the motives of the Bank of for making alterations in the value of money—a point white affects deeply the interests of every person enpgd in trade. The London Gazette, it is true, is not pub f ished before Friday evening, but it would be ridiculous to ail pose that the publican to be kept in darkness for that rea son. It is, besides, meet unfair that the Bank direct to should exclusively possess this valuable information two clear days before the public. Moreover, the public like to judge for themselves as to the nature of the Bank returns, for it is possible that they might sometimes arrive at a different conclusion with re apert them from that adopted by the directors of thb Bank of England. On the recent occasion, for instance, when the Bank rained the rate of discount to 8 per cent., the public were made very uneasy, and a great want of con fidence was acessioned, but when the Bank returns became known, every man asked his neighbour what there was in them to induce the Bank to raise the rate of intmest ' Public opinion is becoming very strong against a continua tion of the Bank's monopoly, and it will become stronger if the Bank withhold information of deep importance to the public any longer than is absolutely necessary. RAILWAY ENGINE DRIVERS AND FIREMEN. On Saturday a deputation from the body of engine driven and firemen employed on the various rail ways of the kingdom waited upon the Right Hon. T. Y. Gibson. the President of the R u ud of Trade, to urge the necessity dime legislative provision against the excessive hours of labour caplained of by this elms of operative. The deputation included persons representing the staff of locomotive attendants on each of the priocipal railways, and was accompanied by Mr. Massey, M.P., and Mr. T. . Bentham, LL. L., (of Manchester). Mr. MAMMY, M.P., introduced the deputation, and made a statement on their behalf. He observed that the engine men were • very intelligent body, that they had very re sponsible duties, and that the public safety :was greatly dependent on their moral and physical efficiency. He thought their demands were well worthy of sotunderatiom Mr. Ruinous, President of the Associatioo for Promoting the Ten Hours Movement, said the safety of the public, as well as the welfare of the men, dvivanded some legal control over the kenos of work. If the Board of Trade lied no power to interfere, an appeal would be made to parliament. He quoted fermi return, showing that a man wu often on his engine 18 to 18 hours at a stretch. Mr. 01BSON, after minute inquiries into the merits of the case, said it was undoubedly a hard one. but he could not encourage any supposition that the legislature would at meant ioterfen. He was nut fully sequaisted with the extent of the powers of the Board, but would take care that the matter should be thoroughly considered. On the part of the deputation it was etatod that failing the interference of the Beard of Trade or of parliament, the only appeal was one to which the men had no intention of resorting. SUSSEX RIFLE ASSOCIATION. On Saturday a numerous atul influential public meeting was held at the Town-hall, Brighton, for the pur pose of forming • volunteer ride associates for the comity of Same& The chair was occupied by the Earl of Cru m and amongst: these present were the Duke of Richmond, Loral Pelham, Lord West, Lord H. Vane, M.P. ; the Hon. H. Brand, M.P. ' • Major liarttelot, M.P. ; Sir J. V. Shelley. H.P. Mr LP. ; , J.Blencowe, 'T. M.P.P. • Mr. J. E. Dodson, G. Getty, Mr. Getty, High Sheriff of Sussex • Lientenant-Colonel Moorsom, Colonels Payee, Estridge, and Lloyd • Captains Norman, Shamed, Woodbead, Livemi, Roupell, and numerous offioere of the several rills and artil lery corps throughout the county. The CHAIRDAN commenced the proosedinp by stating that he had received a requisition, numerously signed, soliciting him to convene a county meeting • but as lord-lieutenant it was scarcely his province to acce de to this request, which was more properly the business of the high sheriff. The present meeting bed been called by • highly influential committee recently formed, with a view to pro mote the efficieocy and parmesans of the volunteer MOO meant in Sussex, OW he felt the utmostpleseure in co , operating with such an important object. In that county— bounded on one side as it wee by a large extent of sea-coast —the artillery was in every reaped a most important annul the service, and it was therefore contemplated by the aro elation to give prism for proficiency in artillery practice, in addition to prises for the best rifle shots. Sir J. V. SIIDLLET, M.P., read letters from numerous noblemen and officers, proluisiug support to the association, and regretting ivability to attend. Mr. Garry (high sheriff) proposed the first resolution : " That an association be now formed for the encouragement and furtherance of the volunteer movement in the county of Sussex and the Cinque Ports therein." The Duke of RICHXOND seconded it, and observed that the National Rifle Association was anxious to enlist under' its banner the several county associations, but lie thought' they would derive little beoefit iu the county of Sussex by such a counectioo, inasmuch as the artillery would be ex cluded from the privilege of competing tor the national prizes. He believed they were able to maintain • good association, and give good prizes in all that county, and he was strongly in favour of keeping aloof from any association, so ea to devote all their energies to the furtherance of the movement in &twee. It might he advisable to join the National Asaoeiation, but until it was made clear to him that its benefits were equally extended to all classes of volunteers, be should certainly . recommend the Sussex ANO. elation to Mend on its own rents, and cndevour to promote' the efficiency, not only of the rifles, but of that essentially important breech of the service, the volunteer artillery. The resolution was then unanimously adopted. Lord H. VANE, M.P. for Heating*, moved the second resolution, for the appointment of a council consisting of 2l I elected members, and officers commanding militia, volun teer rifle battalions, and artillery brigsde, ex-officio, for the government of the association. He fully concurred with the Duke of Richmond as to the Importance of volunteer artil lery for the defence of our shores, and was happy to find QM this emaciation would include the Cinque Ports in the county, which contained mast efficient artillery corps. This country was so si:uated that we could not, Wee the French nation, keep up • vast standing ninny, and there. fore arose the relate of the volunteer force as a means of de fence and protection should their services ever be required. It bad been predicted that the movement would be of a transient nature, hut it had taken deep root, aed bad now become a truly national iostitutioo. It was not sufficient that each corps should merely learn its drill and act in an isolated manner ; they were required to learn how to act in large bodies, and this association would hold out a helping band, and do much to render permanent the very efficient volunteer force which already existed in that county. The Han. H. Wvxothse seconded the resolution, which eras adopted. Sir J. SHILLET. M.P., then read the rules of the amocio tion, which provided that prizes should be given at the die• emboli of the council for the best rifle shots, and for arta. key red carbine practice ; the property of the association to be vented in three trustees ; the competition for prizes to be open for all volunteers and militiamen within the county ; and extra prizes to be given fur all owners. Some discussion took plane with regard to several of the rules, which were ultimately agreed to, with various amendments. Major Barttelot, M.P. for*West Sussex, Lieut.-Colonel Moorsom, the Rev. J. Goring, Mr. Hurlock, and other gen. tlemen, then addressed the meeting, and the several officers of the association were appointed. After a liberal subscription in aid of the funds of the association the meeting separated.

They resolved to send a letter to Mr. Watherstone chairman of the associatiou of employers, intimating t heir willingness to resume work on the ten hours system, so that the strike, so far so the joiners iiro concerned, is no* at an end. The mamas do not at present seem disposed to follow the example of the joiners, and the strike among Hum is more genend, owing to the strength of their union ; but the failure of the joiners must have a discouraging influence upon them, a. it will no doubt stimulate their employers to persevere in their detercunation to resist the nine hours' movement.—Scotsman.
