NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING, WEDNESDAY. A portion of the settling on the Cesarewitch took place at the Rooms this morning, but the larger balances were left open among members of Tattersall's for Monday next. The chief winners are the Messrs. Smith and Mr. Steel, the "gentlemen" being heavy losers by Umpire, Silkstone' and Balder. The card of the day promised excellent sport and the morning was fine, but a change came on in the afternoon, rendering the heath bleak and comfortless to the assembled company, which, for an off day, was very numerous. A curious contretemps occurred in the second race, the Bedford Stakes, for which the number of Lord Stamford's Oscar was placed on the telegraph instead of that of his stable companion Armagnac. The race was run, and Armagnac beaten, when a question arose as to the decision of bets, which were void as regarded Oscar, but stood as regarded the real loser. The racing, although plentiful, was not of a highly inte resting character, the Bedford and the 50 Sovs Stakes only having any connection with future events. The Select Stakes are claimed by Wells, who rode Wingrave, and was third. The largest field of the day was for the Oatlands Plate of £5O, with 29 horses entered at 3 sous each. Rain fell heavily as this race was run, and the heath was almost deserted before the last event came off at half-past four o'clock. Match ; A. F. (1 mile 273 yards). 500, 200 ft. Lord Coventry's Exchequer, Bst 71b .. . ..... (J. Adams) 1 Mr. R.

Oscar's number was exhibited on the telegraph, but by some mistake his lordship's recent purchase, Armagnac, ran in his place, and in consequence all bets were declared void. Armagnac made the running to halfway up the hill,when he was caught by Taje, who headed him in the next stride, and won in a canter by three parts of a length. Handicap Sweepstakes of 16 soya each, 10 ft, for 2-yr odds. Last half of Ab.M. 3 furlongs 217 yards, 16 subs. Mr. John Dawson's Trumps, 6st 81b (Wheatley) 1 Mr. H.

Betting-5 to 2 agst Antipodes, 3to 1 agst Queen of Clubs, 5 to 1 agst Newchurch, 6 to 1 agst Infante, and 10 to 1 agst Trumps. In consequence of numerous breaks away, the start was delayed some time. When the flag was lowered the lot got away upon equitable terms. The Maltster in company with the Glengowrie colt, Trumps, and Infante were the first off, and came on nearly abreast to the cords, when the former was beaten, Trumps at the same time took a clear lead, but in a few strides further he was joined by Antipodes, the three finishing a close and exciting race home, Trumps winning in the last stride by a head, a like distance sepa rating the second and third, Infante and Queen of Clubs, close together, were fourth and fifth, and Newchurch next , the last two being Battery and Fletton.

The flag was lowered to an unsatisfactory start, in which Queen of the Vale and Lava were left at the post, Wells pulling her up and walking home. East Sheen jumped away with a clear lead, followed by rubel Cain and Grisette to halfway in the cords, where Tubal Cain was beaten, and disappeared from the front ; Aroma at the same time joined Grisette, the three running a close race home, East Sheen winning cleverly by a length, a similar distance separating the second and third. Lava, who was riddPn through, was a bad fourth, Zora fifth, Tubal Cain sixth, and Queen of the Vale, who walked in, list. Match—T.Y.C. 5 furlongs 140 yards. 100, h ft.

A long wait at the post was occasioned by several of the horses repeatedly breaking away. Upon their fairly settling into their places Dictator took a slight lead, which he held for a few strides, when he was headed by Ossian, who, in company with Poland, Lady Abbess, Dictator, Neilgherry, and Blanche of Lancaster, came on with the running to the Bushes-hill, where Dictator fell back; half-way down the hill Ossian was in difficulties, and the three placed singled themselves out and ran a close and exciting race home, Lady Abbess, who was stopping at every stride, winning by half a length. A neck between the second and third; Ossian was fourth, close up, Dictator fifth, the Lady Evelyn - - colt, and Rest next.

Sir R. Dacres, command ing Royal Artillery at Woolwich, who has made a visit of inspection in the course of the past week. The gallant General was accompanied by Colonel Kennedy, Major Milward, and Major Riley, and expressed himself much pleased with the general appearance of the barracks and the efficiency of the troops. VALETTA, Oct. 10, 1862.—Her Majesty's screw frigate Amphion, 36, Capt. A. C. Gordon, which was hourly arrived from Sicily when the last mail left Malta, arrived on the Bth inst. She is to pro ceed to England in about a fortnight to be paid off, and is only waiting the arrival of Admiral Martin from Corfu, expected here about the 20th inst., before taking her departure. The Magicienne, 16, paddle, Capt. his Serene Highness the Prince of Leiningen, which arrived at Naples on the 2d inst. from Malta, has since left :or Marseilles, for the purpose, it is said, of embarking Lady Elgin for Alexandria. The Government contract steamer Eva, G. C. Smith, master, arrived on the 7th inst. with a detachment of troops for this garrison, under the medical charge of Dr. Madden, Ist battalion, Bth Regiment. He has since been attached to the 23d Regiment, until an opportunity occurs of his returning to his regiment stationed at Gibraltar • The detachment consists of Capt. Reid, 2d battalion' 23d Regiment ; Ensign Martin, 2d battalion, 22d Regiment; Sergeant Buckingham, R.A., and wife, two sergeants, 30 men, four women, and five chil dren of the 2d battalion, 23d Regiment, and Rifle 'Brigade. Major Fisher, barrackmaster, also re turned by the Eva. The following arrived the same day by the Euxine from Marseilles :—Major- General Wood, Mrs. Wood, and Mr. Wood, aide de-camp; Capt. Bolton, 2d battalion, 22d Regiment; Lieut. the Hon. J. Abercrombie, Rifle Brigade; Capt. Evelyn and Mrs. W. Houston Stewart and daughter. By the Aunis, on the 9th, from Mar seilles and Italy :—Sir Victor Houlton, K.C.M.G., chief secretary to the Malta Government, and Lady Houlton ; Capts. Scheberras, 80th Regiment, and L. Eynand, R.M.F.A. Lieut. Sadler, 23d Regiment, and Capt. F. Watt left Malta by the Delta, on the Bth inst., for Southampton. The Sutlej, 36, screw, Capt. M. Connolly, has had her sailing from Portsmouth for the Pacific postponed, and is ordered to again berth alongside the dockyard, reported for the purpose of being fitted with a poop, the Admiralty having deter mined to appropriate her as a flagship, to relieve the Bacchante, screw frigate, now on the Pacific station. This, if true, will not be justice towards Capt. Con nolly, who has fitted out the ship on the under standing that she would be a private command. The Himalaya, screw troopship, Capt. E. Lacy, has been placed in No. 10 dock at Portsmouth for examination and repairs. The Victoria and Albert, Royal paddle yacht, Capt. G. H. Seymour, C. 8., sailed from Portsmouth at S a.m. on Tuesday for Antwerp. The Enchantress, paddle despatch vessel, in the steam basin at Portsmouth, is having a 28-foot deck cabin, similar to the Osborne's fitted on the upper deck for the accommodation of the Lords of the Ad miralty, for whose service she is destined, the cabin accommodation of the Poscbe , a sister 7€ stel, having been found altogether inadequate. Capt. Henry F. NPR illop, Litt of her Majesty's ship Bulldog, goes out in a few days to the Azores, on leave, to endeavour to save the Black Eagle, East Indiaman, wrecked at Flores, and recover her cargo. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :-1). Batt, master, to the Barrosa ; R. J. Wemyss, chief engineer, to the Asia, for the Curacoa ; J.

But when the GovernAlant Avis asked to go a step further, and to say that the Southern States have constituted themselves an in dependent power, then it seemed to him that inter natioral law would n)t be on our side. Every body who read the accounts in the newspapers of what was doing in America could see that although there was a war there between these two contending powers, it was a war which was as yet undecided—a war which was waged on the part. of the Northern States for the purpose of restor ing the States to the condition of union they were in before the war began ; ar.d on the part of the Southern States it was a war to establish their inde pendence. But the war must be admitted to be un decided ; the battlefields were still reeking with the blood of thousands of'soldiers killed on both sides ; and until the war had been decided on one side or the other, or until it had been decided so far in fa vour of the Southern States as to induce the Northern States to recognise their independence, or to prove to foreign States that the contest was exhausted, and that the Northern states were incapable of continu ing the contest, until that moment arrived it could not be said, in accordance with the established doc trines of international law, that ihe independence of the Southern States had been established. (Hear, hear.) He believed it was the general opinion of the people of this country that the contest would issue in the establishment of the independence of the South. He himself did not express that opinion, but that was the general opinion in this country. Let them look to the state of things established be tween the parties. It could not be said that the Southern States of the Union had de facto esta blished their independence. That being a matter of notoriety, he could not think they were guilty of any neglect in not recognising the independence of the South States, His noble friend (Lord W. Graham) had expressed a wish that he should give them some information as to the probability of our making a reduction in the national expenditure on account of the army and navy. He was afraid no great diminution could be effected in the public ex penditure on that account without sensibly dimi nishing the power and efficiency of those forces. (Hear, hear.) It might be that the allowance to the army and navy was greater than was required, and that some reduction might be made next year, but the recent discoveries in science, and the consequent change in the arming of both army and navy, had necessarily entailed great extra expenditure.

The story, our readers will acknowledge, is a remarkable one. The public at home will be interested in an exploit which recals some of the most romantic achievements of the old Indian ser vice, and the public in India will be impressed, we trust, with the conviction which such a feat is well calculated to carry—that treason and blood-guilti ness, though they may succeed for a season, will surely meet with retribution in the end.—Times. LITERA7U.RE. The South Vindicated. By the Hon. James Williams. With an Introduction by John Baker Hopkins. Longmans. Whenever men's interests are at stake, it is vain to expect them to confess themselves in the wrong ; and we have certainly no such Quixotic intention as that of trying to convince the slaveholders of the South, or their advocate Mr. Williams, that black ness of skin, or the faintest taint of negro blood, are not infallible proofs that the individual thus marked is fit only for slavery. But although we dissent in toto from the conclusions at which the writer arrives, we nevertheless admit that many of the facts and statements which he brings forward in defence of his compatriots are curious and inte resting, whilst the statistics given in the introduction prove, what has been shown by the present contest, that the South, as regards material prosperity and all appliances of civilisation, is no jot behind the States of the North, though this may not be saying much. So far the work at the present time possesses pecu liar interest, and it will unquestionably tend to dis sipate many of the false impressions respecting the South which are so rife, and are so industriously disseminated by its opponents. The letters of which the work is composed " were written at Constanti nople during the canvass for the Presidency of the United States in 1860, and forwarded at the time for pniOitation in a journal." They have ;511q,c, Idea tellecttd, and the, hook, of which the jou,elit ((km »), with the, exception of a tew ad ditional notes, an clad reproduction, is the first eutered according to the copyright act oil the Con gress of the Confederate States of America. Mr. Williams devotes considerable space to show that up to the beginning of the present century slavery was not merely tolerated, but even strongly encou raged by the British Government. No doubt it was, and the alteration in our policy simply proves that we have gradually become more enlightened. He is also aware, perhaps, that in the reign of James I. torture was employed in England ; that little more than a century has elapsed since rebels' heads were fixed on Temple Bar; and that about the same period, if we mistake not, the punishment of burn ing alive for certain crimes was still in vogue with us. As well from these precedents might he justify the occasional torture and burning alive of slaves in America at the present time as slavery itself. And how about the " Southern chivalry" selling their illegitimate offspring ? Orley Farm. By Anthony Trollope. 2 vols, Chapman and Hall. 'Whatever opinion may be formed as to the cha racter of the heroine of this work, there can be no doubt that it is, in itself, entitled to a foremost place in modern fiction. As regards artistic exe cution it leaves little to be desired. The pictures of the external aspects of modern English life are not more admirably true than are the delineations of motive and passion. Mr. Trollope has the rare faculty of reflecting images without distorting them. He never intentionally caricatures. He writes not for the groundlings but for the judicious. Never theless, so accurate are his portraits that all, learned or unlearned, might recognise and take pleasure in them. Were we to assign a motive for the tale we should say that it was to expose what Mr. Trol lope might term the injustice of English law Thus, the heroine twice, through the efforts of her lawyers (who, on the last occasion, know her t:o be guilty) escapes the penalty of her crime, only mi,king confession and restitution when forced by eh nm stances. And the author's favourite character eJnong the young men of the tale, a lawyer named .Felix Graham, who has certain utopian ideas respecting the importance of truth and justice, is perm. itted, though ugly, crotchetty, and poor, to carry off that epitome of femenine sweetness—Madeline SW ieley. But although we fear that the " good time," when lawyers will use all their efforts, not to gain. their client's cause, but to hoist up truth from the bottom of that mysterious 'well she so much affects, v Fill be long in " coming," its anticip a ti on b y M r . T r( glope will do no h arm. We may smile at the impra etica bility of the theory, but we must, neverthueless, admit that in a model world it would be per fectly in place. It is not our intention to give close analysis of the plot. We would rather re fer our readers to the tale itself, and we will merely inti mate that Lady Mason, the young widow of a City Knight, disarpointed in her attempt to induce her husband to leave the estate of Orley Farm to their infant son, forges a codicil to the will, and for twenty years retains possession of the property. On her son coming of age he unwisely deprives an attorney, named Dockwrath, of some fields, who at once looks through some old law papers in his pos session, and discovers a document which fully convinces him that the codicil is a forgery. Accord ingly he imparts his information to the legal owner a trial takes place, and Lady Mason, through the efforts of her counsel, is acquitted ; but having been forced to confess her crime to Sir Peregrine Orme to prevent his marrying her, she, or rather her son, gives up the estate to their opponent, and they then go abroad. Of course there are various under currents of action, but this is the main stream ; the interest centres in Lady Mason, and if' we are forc ed to condemn, we at least pity her. 1% Her oppo nent, though a just man, is necessarily T. e min e ntly a,, disagreeable, whilst the attorney, 1) oe d ICwr "I: who is at the bottom of the mischief, or rather m isery, is the incarnation of vulgar gras ping cunning.

PROSPECTUS. The progress made during iile last ten years by the Bri tish Colonies in South Africa has been very remarkable ; the imports, exports, and public revenues having, during that period, multiplied threefold, and from public returns just to hand, it is estimated that a yet higher progressive increase will be shown in the present year. The banking capital of the colonies has not kept pace with this increase of trade, and it has become clear that a new banking institution of considerable magnitude, and with adequate resources, is now a public necessity, and must com mand success. To meet this necessity, and as a profitable and safe in vestment of capital, the Standard Bank of British South Africa is established. That the proposed field of operations is both safe and profitable is shown by the fact that, although in the South African Colonies the rates of discount on first-class bills range from 8 to 12 per cent., not one instance of loss is re corded in the last annual statements of the local banks. The following is a statement of the present selling prices of shares in existing local banks, the dividends paid by these banks during the last year having varied from 12 to 22 per cent. per annum.

King Charles XV. has just opened at Christiania the Session of the Storthing of Norway with the following speech : " Honourable Gentlemen and Norwegians,—ln seeing you again assembled before me to deliberate on the affairs of the country, I conform to the terms of the fundamental law by signalizing in a summary manner the object upon which your attention will be called. In the greater part of the country the bad crops of the last three years, as well as circum stances unfavourable to several alimentary sources, have exercised a temporary pressure upon our economical situation, and, as a consequence, the ordinary state of the public revenue has suffered a diminution. From those motives I have caused the Budget for the next three years to be drawn up with the greatest economy that is compatible with the solicitude necessary for regular progress. The measure which will be submitted to you shows that it will not be necessary to create any fresh charges nor to increase the others in order to cover the ex penditure. Among the Bills to be presented is one concerning a question on which the Storthing, as well as the Government, has been for a long time occupied—that is, criminal procedure. The ques tion is now sufficiently ripe for the Storthing to come to a decision upon the materials prepared. The de cision recommended by the Bill submitted to you tends not to abrogate, but to ameliorate our judi cial system. I cannot advise the abandonment of a system which has been developed naturally and conformably to the state of the country, and which even now, although it has not for a long time been subjected to any radical amelioration, may suffice to assure the e ffi cacy of the penal laws a s well las to protect the innocent. The introduction of juries, setting aside their value, causes me to fear that local reasons in a great part of the kingdom do not appear to admit of a procedure founded upon that system, and that state of things would require great sacrifices of time and money on the part of the treasury and the public. After having, how ever, enunciated my personal conviction, I add that for several reasons it is important that the question should be decided during the present session, and I desire to be in accord on that subject with the na tional representatives." After having announced the introduction of a bill on the administration of forests, theliing continued: " A bill will be submitted to you, tending to ob tain necessary contingent for the army in case of war, and to ameliorate its qualities by employing the conscription instead of voluntary engagements. I believe those two measures to be indispensable for giving to the army all its value, and for enabling it to be worthy of the sacrifices which the people make for it. In furtherance of those measures I ask for no fresh resources nor for the prolongation of ser vice in time of peace. I only propose that of which other nations, which have founded their defence upon the system of conscription, have for a long time past recognised the necessity. I trust that the Storthing will acquire that conviction from the do cument which accompany the bill. " Since the last session the question of the nvi -sion of the Act of Union between Norway and Sweden has been the subject of deliberations. 1 have expressed my views relative to that question ' in the declaration consigned to the proses verbal of the sitting of Feb. 18 of the Suedo-Norwegian Council of State, which minute will be communi cated to the Storthing at the same time as the other documents connected with the matter. I refer you also to that declaration itself, as being the expression of my solicitude for the union as well as the auto nomy of each of the two kingdoms. In it I also expressed the hope that the representatives of the two kingdoms would support my efforts to bring that business to a successful end, I again express that hope for the present session of the Norwegian Storthing. " I continue to receive the most satisfactory proofs of the kindly feelings of all the foreign Powers. " In now declaring the deliberations of the Stor thing of Norway to be open, I implore Providence that it may direct and bless your labours ; and I assure you of all my grace and royal favour." THE SECRETARY AT WAR ON THE AMERICAN STRUGGLE. HEREFORD, WEDNESDAY. The Herefordshire Agricultural Society held its annual meeting here yesterday, when there was the usual great display of Hereford cattle, after which the agriculturists dined together. There was an unusually large muster at the dinner table, it being understood that Sir G. C. Lewis, her Majesty's Secretary at War, would be present. The chair was taken by Sir Velters Cornewall, and among the guests at the cross-table were Lord W. Graham, M.P., Sir T. E. Winnington, Bart., M.P., Mr. Mildway, M.P., Mr. King King, M.P., Colonel Clifford, M.P., &c. Sir G. C. LEWIS, in reply to the toast of his health, concurred in a wish expressed that war and war secretaries would cease ; but if it happened a foreign nation thought we were unprepared, anti was tempted therefore to make a descent upon our shores, it would neither lead to honour nor to the interest of this country that we should be found unready. He re f erre d a t some l en gth to the 's tress prevailing in the cotton districts. He ex pressed a hope that it wou ld b e o f short du ration only, and that th e war w hi c h wa s now going on South. ern the United St a t es , an d th e bl oc kade of th e ern States, which prev en t e d the cotton f rom comin g to this country, would before long come to an end. That was a subject on which many different opi nions were and had been entertained. The govern ment of this country was place d in the position of ourses, viz., recognition of the Southe rn c having to choose between twoSthatetsh opposi te oen sthtaetoenseohfatnhde, w and sympathy or allian ce U nio n on the other.

Now he (Sir G. C. Lewis) could not but • think that if any impartial person reflected on the course of this unhappy contest, he would come to the conclusion that no word of the E • nglish language would apply with greater aptitude to the Southern States than the word " belligerent." These parties had com bined for the purpose of carrying 011 a war, and when they looked to the number of armed men they had raised, when they looked to the large armies they had brought into the field, to the ability of the generals by whom those armies were commanded,and to the pertinacity with which the contest on their part had been waged, it could not surely be denied that they deserved the name of" belligerent"in refer ence to the manner in which they had carried on the war against the United States. Under these cir cumstances it seemed to him (Sir G. Lewis) that a more unfounded charge could not have been made against the Government of this country than that 711 E MAGNIFICENT SADDLE MU7INY. Among the curiosities formerly to be seen in the old East India House was a magnificent saddle, covered with crimson velvet and lavishly decorated with caparisons of gold. It was a wonderful thing to look at, but the story which it recorded was more wonderful still. That saddle was the ttophy and memorial of an event which, forty years afterwards, was followed by the massacre at Cawnpore and the most terrible scenes of the great Bengal mutinies. The very exploit which we shall presently relate springs out of the same transactions, and, as Nana Sahib has still to be captured, this is not the last time, we trust, that the tale will be brought before the public. The object in question was the State saddle of the Peishwa, or Prime Minister of the great Mahratta Confederacy, taken by us at the battle of Ashti in 1818, by which victory the Mahratta power was overthrown and the Peishwa himself made a pensioner of the British Govern ment. His pension, however, was large, and his position, except that he was under restraint, by no means a bad one. He survived as a kind of State prisoner in Hindostan for many years, and, being childless, exercised the Hindoo privilege of adopt ing sons. The children of his adoption were three in number—Nana Sahib, Bala Rau, and a third, who died, but who left a son named Pandoo Rao, or Rao Sahib. All this family, though living in luxurious opulence, conceived themselves aggrieved by the proceedings of our Government in the ex- Peishwa's affairs, and the atrocities at Cawnpore, near which city they resided, were executed under their direction. Nana Sahib and Bala Rao superintended the massacres in person ; Rao Sahib, it is said, remained at Bithoor, the family residence, in charge of the mansion ; but mere than one cold-blooded murder was perpetrated by his orders, and a body of fugitives from Futtyghur, in tercepted by his troops, were forwarded by him to Cawnpore to share the fate of the other vietims. After the restoration of our ascendancy it was, of course, the anxious desire of Government to capture these three assassins, and to many persons it has probably appeared strange that, with the whole of India in our hands, and all the resources of a well organised Administration at our command, we should hitherto have failed in the attempt. The fact, how ever, that an Irish murderer is still defying justice at home, and eluding all the efforts of a trained con stabulary to arrest him, may serve to render the escape of the Bithoor family somewhat less extra ordinary. Nana Sahib and Bala Rao, if they still live, are probably beyond the frontiers of our terri tory, either in Nepaul or on the other side of the Himalayas. Rao Sahib might have been supposed, till the other day, to be in the company of his uncles —but he at last was delivered into our hands, and by the intelligence and energy of an Indian officer has been consigned, after a series of extraordinary adventures, to the gallows he so well deserved, It appears that after escaping from the advance of our troops he joined Tent ia Topee. the partisan who so long eluded our flying columns, and vvas only taken and hanged after two years' flight. After the dispersion of that chief's band he wandered about India in disguise, settling sometimes at one place of pilgrimage and sometimes at length, till at length, about a year ago, he took up his abode at Chineanee, a small district in the territory of Jummoo, lying between the northern frontier of the Punjab and the rugged hills of Cashmere. In this remote and secluded spot he remained for twelve months, unnoticed and unknown, till he was one day recog nised by a Hindoo pilgrim, with whom be had formerly had some cause of quarrel. The pilgrim immediately betook himself to Sealkote, the nearest station in the Punjab, and communicated the intelligence to Mr. Macnab, acting deputy commis sioner in the Punjab. That gentleman took his measures without an hour's delay. First arming himself with a letter from the Lieut.-Governor to the 'Maharajah of Jummoo, in order to meet the con? tingency of any reluctance or timidity on the part of that Prince, be started for Jummoo in the night, and arrived there by daybreak. An interview with the Maharajah satisfied him that his Holiness was entirely ignorant of the facts reported and without any suspicion of the people who had found a hiding place in his territories. For the rest, he was willing enough to co-operate in the capture of the murderer, but the enterprise, notwithstanding the proffered assistance, was beset with difficulties. Rao Sahib was on his guard day and night. His servants and followers watched for him ; the arrival of a British officer in those parts would be instantly signaled, and at the first alarm the fugitive might plunge into a country through which it would be hopeless to follow him. It was necessary, therefore, that Mr. Macnab should succeed in getting to Chineanee not only in person, but with such an escort as might be required for effecting the arrest, and yet excite no suspicion of his approach or his purpose. Such a problem was no easy one, nor was it facilitated by the circumstance that Mr. Macnab himself was so ill at the time as to be unable either to walk or ride. From Jummoo to Chineanee is a distance of 45 miles, through passes and over precipices of the wildest character, and seldom traversed by Euro peans. How was such a journey to be accomplished, and, above all, to be accomplished without alarm ? And after a brief consultation—for time pressed, and the loss of an hour might be fatal to the whole enterprise—the following scheme was arranged and adopted :—A Tehsilder, or revenue agent of the Maharajah's, stationed a little beyond Chineanee, either was, or could very naturally be supposed to be, a defaulter in his accounts, and the Maharajah, therefore, was to despatch a trusty secretary eu such for the ostensibl e purpose of superseding him. That the s ecre t ary proceeding on ban errand should take an escort was but reasonable, and this pretext provided for the guard of 50 sol diers. Finally, as the new agent might wish for his wife's company at the scene of his duties, a litter was provided for the conveyance of his lady, and this character and; conveyance Mr. Macnab appro priated to himself. He next took the precaution of sending his own litter back to the Sealkote with a little public demonstration, in order that he might be thought to have returned to his station, and that his name might not by any chance be connected with the expedition to Chineanee. This done, the little party started ; the Secretary at the bead of his soldiers, and the British officer representing the Secretary' s w if e i n th e c l ose d litter. The road lay across the most terrible rocks and solitudes, and was so painfully difficult that half-a-rnile an hours hour was as much as could be done.

An experimental cooking stove, manufactured of steel, has been erected in the Royal Artillery Barracks, Woolwich, by Mr. Deane, of London bridge, consisting of boilers and oven, for which a prize medal was awarded at the Great Exhibition. The boilers, of steel, 1-16th of an inch thick, are exceedingly light, and from the thin substanse of the metal require but a small amount of fuel in heating the contents. The flues are formed of fire clay: Dinners for 80 men, consisting of soup, meat, and vegetables, were yesterday cooked in the pre sence of Mr. Warriner, instructor of cookery, at tached to the sanitary commission for the promotion of barrack economy. The consumption of coal did not exceed 61b. In order to prove the quality of the metal the boilers were subjected to a severe test by being heated redhot and filled with water, without manifesting the least appearance of injury. The ovens, also of steel, are set in fire-clay, and dinners for 200 men, consisting of baked meat and pota toes, were served up, with a consumption of between 401 b. and 501 b. of coals. The amount of economy expected to be realised to the army 133 the improve ments recently introduced in cooking apparatus is calculated at no less a sum than £BO,OOO or £lOO,OOO per annum. • The B battery, depot brigade, Royal Artillery, manned with 40-pounder Armstrong guns, yester day marched from headquarters, Woolwich, for Al dershot, sleeping last night at Chertsey. The offi cers commanding the battery are Capt. Taylor, Lieut. Saunders, and Lieut. Gains. The horses re quired for the removal of the guns and Equipments, baggage, &c., amounted to 150. Capt. Brydges, Lieut. Hopkins, 2 sergeants, 2 corporals, and 50 privates, Royal Marine Light in fantry, from the 86-gun ship Exmouth (returned to Plymouth from the Mediterranean) arrived last night at headquarters, Woolwich, and will be granted leave of absence and furloughs to visittheir friends this morning. The new naval smooth-bore muzzle-loading gun, weighing six tons, and intended to throw a round ball of about 100 lb. weight, has passed proof at the Woolwich butt, and will shortly be ready for trial at Shoeburyness. The gun ordered to be manufac tured for Mr. Lynall Thomas is fast approaching completion under the able superintendence of Mr. John Anderson, at the Royal gun factories, Wool wich, by whom the construction was devised. Its weight when finished will be 16 tons; length of bore, 131 ft. ; the diameter of the inner tube is to be rifled so as to leave three projection s on the interior of the bore. One of the peculiarities of its con struction consists in the internal tube being closed at the breech—a plan which was proposed and car ried out by Mr. Anderson in the manufacture of a gun for Mr. Whitworth. One of the new Ar mstron g 70 -pound er gu ns ma nufactured for the navy is now under trial at Shoe buryness. It is a breech-loader, on the wedge plan, which is intended t o su p ersed e the objectionable vent-piece. The projectiles are inlaid with zinc strips, 24 in number, each (six) of them forming the bearings of the shot. This plan, if successful, will be substituted for the present lead coating on the Armstrong shot. A largenurnber of the 70-pounders are now waiting the solution of the question, that they may be rifled according to the plan approved.
