The Commander-in-Chief, oneihenoasion of his late inspection of the troops in the Upper Pavintes, was concerned to observe numberless instances of ionweation and departure from the esta bli‘lard Regulations for the Field Exercise sad Movements of the Infantry, as presctibed fur general guidance, and it would have been his Excellency's determination at trauma to point out and correct these irregularities in practiemanito have required the most undeviating attention of Commanding Officers to the rules Lid down for the discipline of the forces, badnot his Excellency's know ledge of the intended introduction of a new system of Drill, and of Field Exercise nod Evolutions its his Majesty's Army, rendered it a.liffsable to postpone any observations on points of such import ance. until it should become practicable to announce the new pub. licnion as the established .system for the Indian Army. The arrival of a large supply of the work recently revised by Major-General Sir 11. Torras, K.C. B. and K.T.S. Adjutant- General to the Forces, and ordered to be adopted throughout his Majesty's Army, now affords to the Commander.in-Chief the op portunity Of making known his sentiments on the occasion above adverted to; and in introducing to the Akar the revised work, which will bencefOlth constitute du* Book of Instructions, to captess in the most pointed terra. his desire that the most strict and undeviating attention be paid to the Rules therein laid down. Uniformity of practice is the essence of Military Tactics, and without it disorder and • must prevail. Even im provements in Fi..ld Maculate cease to be suck, when introduced the partial and desukay manner which his Excellency observed during his tour of inspection. To render any system of Evolution perfect. it must be adopted generally, touter competent authority ; and there cannot be, in his Excellency's opiniou. a more objectionable procedure on the part of any Commanding Meer than his abandoning Rules once laid down for general observance, and substituting fancies of his own. which must render the Corps. in which such innovations are prac tised, very unfit to perform its part in any combined evolutions of large bodies. ..• Copies of the revised regulations will be forwarded to every Corps of Infantry in th• service, io as to .'pre7ide a copy for • each Officer present. These books are to be kept with care; and when an Dicer quits hi; Regiment. he is to return the book sppplied to him to the Adju tant. for the use of those Officers who may join subsequently. Sir Edward Paget is further pleased to direct, that the General Order, dated Horse Guards, 10th March, 1884, prefixed to these Legulations, be considered as equally applying to the Army of this Establishment, and his Excellency calls upon General and other Officers to support the due execution of its provisions. By Order of his Excellency the Commander-in• Chief, W. L. WATSO N, Adjutant-General of the Army. GENERAL ORDERS. Head.tuarters ' Calcutta, Aug. 1, 1328.

KEAN IN AMERICA. kilt. EVAN'S ADDRESS ON TAKING LEAVE OF TUE . CiTlattcs OF NEW YORE. "Lama aim Gairmanzat-o.ln obedience to post honoured commands I cheerfully present myself before you, and in pot. *luxe of my sincere wishes I would solicit your indulgent accept. ance of the humble tribute of my unfeigned gratitude and regard. There are periods, however. under peculiar circumstances, a hen language losesits power, and words bee feebly repress the emotions of the lwa n:. I pray you will therefore bear with wE on this beomsion. ". When I landed in your hospitable city, almost a bankrupt in fortune and reputation—writhing under affliction and eels. Dallies, the particulars of which might be painful, if not improper. tor me here to enumerate, I was visited by mental stupor, from which I thought nothing on earth could ever arouse me. Not even the clamour and opposition on the night I first bad' the honour to appear before you could move my faculties or subdue my geed in srusibility. Ambitious esomod dead. and hope cast but a glimmering ray across the deeded's of my soul, when, like my better angel, your kindness descending upon me, dispelled that lethatgy which tut a few hours before I had deliently.prayed might attend me through all the changes of my mortal carter. " It is you. Ladies and Gentlemen, and your generous sympa thies. that have restored me to myself and to society ; and although nmy poor feelings may be unequal to the discharge of the enormois debt of gratitude I owe you, yet, trust me, there are dear friends, and kindred spirits across the waters, who, when they shall hear of the obligation you have so tenderly imposed, will assist me in bless ing ycu and your memories for ever ! It were idle for me to assure you. that my heart is too full, and too deeply sensible of your good ness and hospitality, to give adequate utterance to the sentiments it now entertains for you, and which, to its latest pulsation. shall be fondly cherished with the most fervent aspirations for your health and happiness! • " Ladies and Gentlemen, I must fora time bid yentas affectionate farewell. Anstyku .Will.pyrnait me to hope, that on my return from Benton, I may hare s the binioiirlsid happiness of again appearing before you." We have received from Caraccas the Colombians of the 9th and 16th of November. General MIND= left that city on the 14th, to proceed on his mission to Panama as one of the Plenipotentiaries to the American i Congress about to be held there. It is remarkable that at Caraccas it was understood that the President of the United States had declined sending any representative to that Assembly, though we have seen by the Presi dent's speech that one is certainly to be sent thither.-.- A,property tax of ten per .cent. Iris been imposed by the Colombian Government: on every class of the inbap bitants—a measure which is much declaimed against by the J .urnals, as tending to cramp the rising industry ci the country. The departmental elections were pro ceeding : in that of Apure, General BOLIVAII had been unanimously elected President, and Gen. SAIITANDIA Vice President. ' An Inquest was held at the Rodney's Head, Narrow street, Limehouse, on the body of an infant found in the retirement of Mr. Thompson, of St. Anne's-street. Mr. T. stated, that on Friday last Bitty Dillon came to live with him as a servarit. On Sunday morning she did not come down as usual, and, when sent to, an swered that she was violently ill. He then went out, And on his return, found her sitting by the fi re , still c,mplaining ; when he told her, if she was unable to cu her work, she had better go, which she did, and on uesday he found the body, is above stated ; when :qrs.

A son of Mr. T. eight years old, who kept in the same room with the servant, said, on Sam car night he was awakened by. her moans, when she exclaimed "Goa help me r and he instantly beard she civs of an infant.

Since-last week, N. and N.W. winds have principally prevailed. During the greater part of &today it blew a violent gale from the S.E. and it was gratifying to remark the ease and safety with which the several ships in the Sound rode at their anchors, under the sheltering influence of the Breakwater. Though on the outside of the mole the sea was running mountains high, all within was calm and secure. In fact, every storm that visits our port brings fresh proof of the utility of this grand national undertaking. On Tuesday the wind shifted round to the East, from which quarter it con tinued to blow hard during that night. and the whole of yesterday. While the storm prevailed on Sunday, several sail of outward•bound merchantmen took shelter in our harbour, where they still remain, waiting a mo. deration of the present boiaerous weather. The JAVA, 60 guns was commissioned on Sunday, by Lieut. P. BAGWILL, Late of t he CA/WILSON; Captain Josh Viscaes, is ap. pointed to command her. _ _ _ The Cato.

Between four and five o'clock yesterday afternoon, a fire broke out in the engine house attached to the extensive shot foundry of Messrs. Walker and Parker, of the Commercial Brad, on the verge of the • river, near Waterloo Bridge, late the firm of Messrs. Maltby and Walker. The fire originated on the third floor, and there being then a strong easterly wind, it speedily found its way to the top, and at five o'clock it pre sented the appearance of a splendid beacon, the flames shooting forth brilliantly from the windows on all sides, and mounting far above the roof. Several engines were speedily on the spot, but owing to the insulated nature of the place, together with the immense height of the building itself, they were unable to render any effectual aid in arresting the progress of the destroying element. From the constant falling of large flakes of burning timber, considerable fears were entertained for the safety of the surrounding premises, the extensive deal yards of Messrs. Warburton and of Mr. Gabrielle, lying contiguous, and others of less?r magnitude, being also scattered in the vicinity. The conductors of the several engines were consequently directed to their pre servation, and whilst those on land kept up a constant discharge of water at one side, the Sun and Royal Es. change floats, which at this time - were enabled to come sufficiently close to act with effect by the flow of the tide, materially assisted in preventing the further exten sion of a calamity so much dreaded, but these combined efforts could not subdue the flames in the engine-house itself, which Was nearly consumed at ten o'clock. There is no means of accounting for the manner in which it originated, as there had been no fires lighted in that part of the concern since Tuesday evening. The pro perty, as we learnt, was insured to the amount of 11,0001. in the Norwich Union, and for the same sum with the Alliance; at present it is impossible to calcu late the extent of the damage sustained. It was dis tinctly visible from all the bridges, from Surrey-street in the Strand, and at every point attracted immense crowds of spectators. Some fears were entertained for the safety of the workmen employed in the foundry, but fortunately no personal injury was sustained. FIRS AT DRVONPORT. Saturday evening the neighbourhood of Catherine-street Devon port, was thrown into a state of the utmost alarm, by a fi re, which broke out in that densely populated part of the town known by the name of the. Cribs;" and which, at the outset, assumed a very serious aspect. The lames were Ant perceived bursting through the root of one of the houses, which, with the roofs and upper stories of the two adjoining dwellings, were speedily in a blase. The inhabitants of this district, who are almost exclusively of the lower order of society, were seen hurrying to and fro anxiously endeavouring to rescue their little property. Oswald man, a cripple, was obliged to be let down from the window of his 'bombes by the assistance of a rope and a ladder, his biddy infirmities not allowing him to seek safety himself. The town engine aeon strived, and being plentifully supplied with water, and aided by the activity of 'the firemen, with their hooks, the flames were get under without any loss of life having occurred. A guard of twenty-four soldier* belonging to the gad (or Cornwall Regiment) wag in attendance, to prevent depredation. Great credit is due to the Commanding Meer of the std, for allowing the instant attendance of the guard, and to the men themselves, for their steady exertions to preserve geed order. The cause of the fire has not transpired. CAPTAIN FRANKLIN'S EIPEDITION.-We have re ceived a letter from Churchill so late as the *ld ofl August, which says that Captain FRANKLIN'S first party passed a very pleasant winter; some of them at Carlton. 1 1 house, and others at Cumberland•house. About the end of May, a day or two before the expedition was to proceed on its course, one of the men (the carpenter it is believed) broke his leg, which would prevent him from going on with his companions this season. Capt. raitusus, on his arrival in the country, went forward through Lake Winnepeg to join the above divisios; and it was supposed he would overtake them about the same time they reached Athabasca.—Literary Gazette. An Inquest was held yesterday at the White Hart, in the Borough, on the body of W. Bayley. The deceased was employed in the stables of Messrs. Mousey and Co. coal-merchants, and was accidentally killed by a kick from a horse.—Verdict accordingly.

Elisdeth Gooch, milliner and dress-maker, was' opposed by Mr.-HEATH, on behalf of Messrs. Hodg kinson, of_ New Bond-street, linen-drapers and silk• l mercers. The insolvent, it appeared, compounded with Ixer creditors in May last, and paid them all Cs. 6d. in die pound, except Messrs. Hodgkinson, who knew nothing of the composition until it was all over, when they were told by the insolvent's sister tfat they had not been informed of it, because theirs being a recent account, and they never having received any money from her, it was not intended to include them in it. — The insolvent's orders increased very much in amount during the three last months preceding the time when the composition took place; and part of the goods Ordered, consisted of black Gros de Naples, at eight shillings a yard, from which no less a personage that' Mrs. Brown, the milk-woman, %clic, supplied her with milk, received a dress, comprising eleven yards (Great laughter)—in pert payment of her milk account-, A dress of it had al.o been offered to Miss Bruce, one of the insolvent's assistants, hut declined, on the ground that she (Miss Haute) could not afford to take it. This young Lady was now the detaining creditor for the amount of her wages. In the early part of the year, the insolvent, although she did not leave London, was denied to her creditors, who were old that she had grne to Paris to bring home the spring fashions. This 'answer was given, both when she was at home, and • when she was ill at a friead's house, in Newman-street. It appeared, however, in the insolvent's favour, that the money with which the composition was paid, consisted of 1251. received from a Gentleman in India in pay- went of an old debt ; 501. lent her in the shape Of a bill by a friend ; and 131. in cash : so that the good,. supplied by Messrs. Hodgkinson had not been appro. priated to that purpose, but, as would appear by her books, were manufactured into dresses, and disposed of in the usual way of her business. The Couar, under the circumstances, were of opintoo, that no case had been made out to bring the insolvent within the operation of soy of the penal clauses of the Act of Parliament ; and therefore, in the absence of sufficient evidence to Inculpate her, rather than from any merits of her own, they considered her entitled to the be nefit of the Act, and ordered her to be discharged forthwith. Gabriel! SeloMen, whose case we reported yesterday, came up to receive the indsment of the Court, which was a remand within the walls of the prison for four calendar months. Joseph Ford, the elder, was opposed by Mr. Hager, for Messrs. Todd, Morrison, and Co. haberdashers. It appeared that in 1.24 the insolvent gave Messrs. Todd and Co. to understand that he was the proprietor of a shop and business at Mortlake, whereby they were induced to take his guarantee for his son, and give the latter credit for pods to a considerable amount upon his setting up bud sem at Reading, where be had since failed ; whereas he (the insol vent) now swore that the shop, km at Mortlake was his son's pro peny ; and that he himself had not been worth a farthing, nor in any business since 1111, and lived from that period down to the time of his arrest upon the bounty of hie children. The Cosa, considered that the insolvent bad been guilty of a gross fraud upon his opposing creditors, and ordered him to be re manded within the walls of the prison for eight calendar months. Advice: from Chili state that a National Bank has been established in that country. Its capital is to con sist of 10,000,000 dollars, in shares of 500 each, and at least one third of the amount is to be kept in England. Foreigners residing in Chili the lawful period, and who have held 20 shares, shall have a right of citizenship. Scors' CHURCH.—A meeting of the congregation ofl the Scots Church, Swallow street, was yesterday held, for the purpose of electing a successor to the Rev.JoHN MARSHALL, the late Minister. The Moderator (Dr.' Mown) presided. After a very Wat m discussion, in which some strong language was used, the Rev, Wit.- LIAM WOODROW was declared duly elected. Tile congregation were then requested to sign 4. the Call" to the successful candidate, which document the Mode rator intimated should lie for signature in the Vestry for several days. The usual blessing was then pronounced, and the congregation separated. YARMOUTH, JAN. 2.—Monday evening tart. during the very heavy gale, a small coal laden brig was driven on shore to the north of the new pier; and by the prompt attendance of persons belonging to the re venue service, communication was soon effected, by their throwing a line over the vessel with a shot from the mortar, and the crew, four in number, were hap pily brought in safety to the shore, on a sling, when no other means could have saved them. The body of a poor man named Brint, of Chel en. barn, has been found on the road near that town, with some indications that he fell by the hands of murderer s. The master tailors of Leicester have turned their men off, and are deter mined to reduce their wages at least five or six shillings per week. A shocking accident occurred on Saturday after noon, at St. Leonard's, the seat of W. G. Coeivelt ' near lagatestone, by which Isaac Tyrrell, the head. gardener, and William Ram, his assistant, lost their lives. They had, with others, been occupied in col. letting ice from a pond on the premises; whilst their companions were engaged at the ice-house they impru dently ventured into a small boat for the purpose of floating some loose pieces of ice to a particular part of the pond ; having advanced to the deepest part, the boat upset, and precipitated them into the water : neither of them could swim. In a few minutes they were missed, and their sad fate was indicated by their hats floating oa the surface. Though assistance was promptly ren dered, it was nearly an hour before the bodies could be discovered. The vital spark was extinct. Tyrrell has left a wife and two small children. HeALTH or 'run MISTROPOLIS.—The calculation of the consumption of food in London, given in our Paper of the Slst December, however astonishing in its amount and value, is short in its beneficial aggregate of health ; for if it be correct that 6,000 acres of land surrounding, or within twelve miles of the Metropolis, are cultivated as gardens for the London markets, the proportion of salubrious exhalation from the earth, when tilled and prepared for the cultivation of vegetables, and to these must be added those ploughed for corn and grain of all kinds, affords a large amount of health to this very populous neighbourhood, and adds greatly to the Fauses of health in the c ipital, although crowded and esitended almost beyond calculation! To these, also are WI,. subjoined, the flux and reflux of the tide of the Mines, and, Count Rumford used to add, the purify ing irect of coal-fires, and the carbonic floating over the town; all which account for the healthy state of he Metropolis in general, so as even to de.eat the Raiding malignity of the diseases which are locally ocialental to the place. . ''ltGaztaata Massaoz.—The New York Avening Post 4 mentions that the day before the late adjournment of the Vermont Legislature, a nectarine message was delivered to the House of Representatives as follows: u Mr. OW informed the House that he was requested by his liactuaseT to invite the Members to call and take a glass of wine with hint at Cottriirs Hotel. and that this invitation was predicated upon the circumstance of his Encliet:cy's being about tu relinquish the gubernatorial chair.

WESTMINSTER SESSIONS-THIS DAY. --48.-- No less than fourindividnals, namely, Daisiel Reach, Jos. ►Webb, Sarah Dibble, and .Yansuel hwy. took their trials before FRANCI* Cost, Esq. for pot-stealing, from a number of publicans in the vicinity of West minster. The charges against the whole of the prisoners were clearly proved by the evidence adduced, and.the Jury severally found them all Guilty. The Court then passed judgment, and sentenced Hooch to three months, Webb four months, Dibble three months, sod Ivory to six weeks' imprisonment in the House 4: f Correction, and there kept to hard labour ; the !sitter prisoner was in additi.m ordered to be publicly whipped. William Payne was indicted for obtaining money under false pretences born a Mr. Mortimer, on the 15. h day of December last. Mr. ALLAY, for the prosecution, stated that on the day in question, about six in theevening, Mr. Mortimer, a Gentleman of great respectability, residing in the Albany, Piccadilly, was called upon by the defendant. who stated himself to be the snn of Mr.. Lintott, of Bramber, a person well kn.wn to the prosecutor. Mr. Mortimer asked the defendant in, and put several ques tions concerning Mr. Lintott,. to which he answered in a manner that appeared quite satisfactory. The de fendant then stated, that he had been to bury his bro ther who had lately died, and had come to town in the hopes of receiving some money for the sale of a cow, but being disappointed, he had taken the liberty to call on M , . Mortimer for the loan of 61. to, defray the ex penses of the funeral and early him home. Mr. Mor timer said, it was strange that his father should nut have supplied him with money upon such an occasion. io which the defendant replied in a manner which ap peared so satisfactory to the prosecutor, who knowing the respectability of Mr. Lintott, of Breather, that, he was induced to lend him the money, and gave hint a s :vereign and 51. note. Mr. Mortimer's statement went to prove that made by his Counsel, and, Mr. James Lintott, son of Mr, Jonathan Linton, et Illnahrt, swore that the defendant was nut his brother. The defendant put in a mitten defence, In whisb it stated dist he was the father of eve children, and hoped the Ossrt weetkilog leniently with him. . The Camiutme then sentenced the defendaht WOW Imprisonment in the Haute of Correction. . • •, , We understand from authority upon which we cAo rely, that very little damage has bees done to the Lend Weeks of MOWS.
