ONE HUNDRED POUNDS REWARD ON CONVICTION. The fearful dangers to invalids from spurious imitations of DII BARRY'S invaluable HEALTH-RESTORING REVA LENTA ARABICA FOOD led to an investigation, and, upon application in 1854 for protection, the High Court of Chancery granted an injunction restraining Alfred Hooper Nevill, and his agents, under a penalty of £5,000, from selling any article resembling or being a colourable imitation of Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica, of which we are the sole pro prietors. Now, therefore, this is to give notice that the above reward will be paid, upon conviction, to anyone giving infor mation of any breach of the injunction.

The Western Union Telegraph Company have purchased ten miles of the Atlantic telegraph cable, at 250 dole. per mile, to lay across rivers and bays. The first laid was across the Mississippi, at St. Louis, 2,700 feet. This worked well at first, but was a total failure at the end of twenty days. It was then underrun from shore to shore, so as to see every inch of it ; but no defect was visible. Another 2,700 feet piece was laid, which worked two days only and failed also ; yet there is no de fect visible externally. Still another was laid, which has now worked well for six days. About thirty submarine cables have been lost there by snags, anchors, &c. The company now propose to make one large cable, composed of seven of the ocean cable strands, with stout strands of common post wire laid in interstices, and all well bound to gether. This, it is thought, will be proof aga:nst snags and anchors ; but it will still be exposed to the interruption which has destroyed the two un broken cables ; and what is this ? The wild light ning from the sky is not identical with that domes ticated and in use by telegraphers. The latter never jumps from one conductor to another, how ever small the distance, while the former may be made to leap considerable distances to inviting points ; and when wires are overcharged in violent storms, descends in visible fine balls from the wire to the ground. An excessive charge will leave the wire at a point nearest the earth. Of course a sub marine wire will conduct it within one-fourth of an inch, or less, of the water, and an excessive quantity from the sky will at once fly off through the isola ting guttapercha perforating it, and letting in the water so as to destroy it. To counteract this, by Mr. Wade's plan, a fine coil of copper wire forms the connection at each end of the submerged cable, and a greater quantity of electricity than the sub marine line will bear will melt the fine coil, break the current, and thus save the submarine line. Employes often repair these melted coils by a " larger wire, so that it won't melt ;" this defeats the object of the coil, and melts the submarine line, or flies off, perforating the isolation, which is equally fatal. There is another phenomenon mani fest in cutting the cable. However well the end of the cable is secured by binding before it is cut, the iron wire almost immediately protrudes 1-16th of an inch beyond the conducting wire, and if a single foot is cut off, each end will do the same, making the conducting wire appear to draw in that amount. This is no doubt caused by the imperceptible un twisting of the cable, which lengthens the outer wire wound spirally round the conducting wire. Now, if the whole cable in handling and laying down should be suffered to untwist to this imper ceptible amount, the effect would be to lengthen the already straight and small conducting wire over one mile and a half in the 1,945 miles of At lantic cable, which it must stretch unevenly, of course, or part. It would not therefore be surprising to find the great cable parted in 10,000 places. or drawn so unevenly fine as to be melted by the first current of electricity passing through it. It is far more probable, however, that the sky electricity has perforated the isolating guttapercha, by flying off to the water when over charged in a storm. Is not this the trouble with the Atlantic cable in the ocean as well as in the river ; and, if so, is it not confined to a small sec tion of a mile or so of the ends of the cable ? The cable at St. Louis, or rather four miles above, would again work well if removed from the water.— ( leveland (United States) Plaindealer. [ADVERTISEMENT.]-11olloway's Pills and Ointment.— Summer Ailments.—Vicissitudes of temperature, extreme heat, and indulgence in fruit are now producing diarrhoea, dysentery, and cholera. In the early stages of these diseases the public possess in Holloway's remedies a grand specific which can be applied internally and externally with the cer tainty of checking intestinal irritation. None but the im prudent and reckless will disregard the admonitory symp toms of these often fatal diseases. In the hot weather their course is soon run, and unless adequate means be adopted death is the fearful penalty of neglect. To children and young people these medicines are a boon indeed, for they arrest disease without inflicting injury upon the most feeble constitution. They purify the blood and give the delicate better health. Eight out of the 11 vessels forming that portion of the Channel fleet at Spithead left that anchorage under steam on Satu.iday. Early in the morning iedicatious were given of their approaching depar ture ; Royal yards were crossed, funnels raised, and tires lit. At noon Rear-Admiral Sir C. H. Fremantle, K.C.8., embarked on board his barge from the sallyport stairs, and proceeded on board the Royal Albert, which, with the remainder of the squadron, had steam up, and was hove short. It was three p.m. beforethe fleet was fairly under way, the Royal Albert leading as far as the Nab Light, when the Flying Fish, 6, screw, Commander C. W. Hope, was sent ahead . of the Royal Albert, and took up her position as look-out vessel to the squa dron. Scarcely a ripple was on the water, and a more magnificent sight could not be imagined than the ships presented as they steamed round the east end of the Wight in the oulernamed:—The Flying Fish, screw, 6, Commander G. W. Hope f the Royal Albert, 131, screw, Capt. E. B. Rice, bearing the flag (red at the mizen) of Rear-Admiral Sir C. H. Fre mantle, K.C.B. ; the •Algiers, 91, screw, Capt. G. W. D. O'Callaghan ; the James Watt, 91, screw, Capt. E. Codd ; the Agamemnon, 91, screw, Capt. T. Hope ; the Hero, 91, screw, Captain G. H. Sey mour; the Diadem, 32, screw, Capt. W. Moorsom, C. 8.; and the Emerald, 51, screw, Captain A. Cum ming. The Mersey was detained at Spithead on her experimental screw trials, her third attempt at the measured , mile on Saturday again proving a failure, owing to the continued priming of her boilers. The ships at present at Spithead comprise the Trafalgar, 91, screw, Captain E. G. Fanshawe ; the Mersey, 40, screw, Capt. H. Cal lwell, C. 8.; and the Scout, 21, screw,-Captaizt J. Corbett, the above three vessels belonging to the Channel fleet ; the Sidon, 22, paddle, Captain R. B. Crawford, and the Pioneer, 6, screw, Commander H. Riley, both ordered on foreign service, and the Gorgon, 6, pad dle, Commander B. C. Pim. The Trafalgar, 91, screw, Capt. E. G. Fanshawe, arrived at Spithearl on Saturday morning from the Nore, and exchanged the customary salutes with the Commander-in-Chief. The Arrogant, 47, screw, Capt. L. G. Heath, C. 8., steamed into harbour from Spithead on Sa turday. The Victoria and Albert, Royal yacht, Capt. the Hon. J. Denman, arrived in Portsmouth harbour from her moorings off Cowes on Saturday. The Russian screw corvette, Baian, 16 guns, Capt. Istomin, arrived at the Motherbank early on Satur day morning from Cherbourg, bound to the Baltic. At 8 a.m. she exchanged the usual salutes with the military and naval authorities at Portsmouth. It is expected that the Mersey, 40, screw frigate, at Spithead, will shortly receive several of Sir W. Armstrong's guns, in addition to her present ar mament. A Russian steam frigate was steaming towards Spithead by the Western Channel at 6 p.m. yes terday. The new screw steam frigate Orlando, 50, was docked at Keyham on Friday, and undoc ked on Sa turday, preparatory to her making an experimental trip outside Plymouth to try her engines and speed. The iron steam tender Lizard, Lieut. E. E. Mann sell commanding, left Plymouth on Saturday with supernumeraries for Portsmouth and Sheerness. . His Netherland Majesty's steam screw frigate - Admiral Van Wassenaar 44, Capt. de Vaynee van Brake!; arrived in Plymouth Sound on Saturday, and exchanged the customary s tlutes with the Citadel and the Port Admiral. She left the Texel on Tues day, and after coaling will proceed to Lisbon with 175 troops for conveyance to Batavia, in a Dutch transport. which put into the Tagus wanting repair. The Victor, 6, screw gun vessel, has been towed from Chatham by the Adder and African steamers, for the purpose of being attached to the second division of the steam reserve, at Sheerness. s A large number of shipwrights have within the last few days been placed on the Bulwark, 91, and the Undaunted, 51, screw steamers, building at Chatham, in order to hasten the completion of those vessels. The Benbow, 74, which has been some time in hand at Chatham Dockyard, fitting for a coal de pot at Sheerness, is now completed. The advices of our Malta correspondent, reaching down to the 16th of August, contain nothing be yond the arrival under canvas, on the evening of the 15th, of the long looked-for frigate Liffey, Capt. Preedie, after a long passage of 15 days from Gib raltar. Commodore the Hon. J. H. Drummond and the officers of her Majesty's Dockyard, Woolwich, were on Saturday night engaged in testing a newly-dis covered light, denominated "the photophore," in tended for lighthouses and all the purposes of lights at sea. The paddlewheel steam-vessel Bustler, in charge of Mr. Thomas, master-commanding the Fisgard, having on board Mr. lerdinand Silas, a native of Holland (the inventor of the photophore), left the dockyard jetty at half-past 8 o'clock, and, having hoisted one of the new lights at the mast• head, proceeded slowly dow n th e river for a short distance, while a number of the instruments placed along the banks were lighted up, the pale red glare of which was easily distinguished from that of all other lights, and was also pronoineed to be more brilliant. Commodore Drum mo nd remaining sta tioned on the jetty directed a course of signals by the constant lighting and extinguishing of the photophore, which was similarly replied to by the inventor on board the Bustler. One of the in struments ing to the in ven t or s w t ha ru tiec ni hr, e , n al ts Tecitohrod att ached bein t g o a pr l e i v n i e ou w sl a y s thrown into the water, lighted, and on rising to the surface it sh o t f or th a phosphoric blaze ' l3 statement, would keep alive for 10 or 12 hours. It was repeatedly , trailed under water, when the light of course dis appeared, but on regaining the surface, it seemed to struggle as it were into life, and in an instant shone out with renewed brilliancy. The light, although of a peculiarly strong description for the purpose of attracting observation, possesses, nevertheless, no destructive or incendiary character. One of the most important uses for which it is suggested to be employed is the life buoy, as on being attached to one of these it cannot fail of pointing out the suc cour at hand. Capt. G. A. Halsted, R.N., secretary attended on Saturday at the Underwri at Lloyd's, ters'-offices, in the Royal Exchange, and witnessed a trial of Mr. Ward's ocean marine telegraph, recently tested at Woolwich dockyard, and ordered to be adopted in the royal navy. The experiments, which were highly satisfactor', were terminated by the inven tor announcing to the meeting his having received the satisfactory information from America, since his arrival in this country, that the ocean signal tele graph, as then exhibited, had been approved by the New York Chamber of Commerce, and, consequently, adopted by the American navy exclusively. The following appointments were made on Satur day at the Admiralty :—R. H. Byron, naval cadet, to the Neptune ; D. Bayne, clerk, to the Brisk ; 0 L. Wynne, assistant-clerk, to the Cossack ; R. F. W. Loady, assistant-clerk, to the Sidon ; A. A. Lyne, assistant clerk, to the Fisgard ; G. S. Goddard and R. Oliver, assistant-clerks, to the Amphion ; C. L. J. Underwood, assistant-clerk, to the Neptune; W. Clay, assistant-clerk, to the Imperieuse ; T. E. Lem mans, assistant-clerk, to the Caesar; Langworthy, assistant-clerk, to the Impregnable; E. G. Ellis, as sistant-clerk, to the Eagle ; W. B. Jenins, assistant clerk, to the Dauntless ; and Thos. Mitchell, assist ant clerk, to the Cornwallis. THE ARMY. Her Majesty and the Prince Consort' leave Os borne at an early hour this morning for the camp at Aldershott, when the whole of the troops in camp will be reviewed by the Queen. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, accompanied by Major-General Forster and other members of the Staff, leaves town by an early train this morning for the camp at Aldersbott. A detachment of the 10th Hussars arrived in the metropolis on Saturday from the camp at Alder shott for duty. The first division of the 15th (the King's Hus sars) disembarked at the North Wall, Dublin, on Friday, and marched into the Royal Barracks to replace the 13th Light Dragoons, ordered to Scot land. The horses of the 15th seemed terribly cut up, the result, probably, of service at Aldershott, a march of 250 miles, and the voyage across the Channel. Since the men of the 27th company of Royal Engineers, under the command of Captain A. W. Durnford, together with the detachments of Sappers and Miners who were forwarded from Chatham, have been employed on the Armstrong gun factory at Woolwich, the most rapid progress has been made with the erection of that building, the con tractors expressing their great satisfaction with the Royal Engineers, who actually do mere work, with the same number of men, than was done in a given time by the ordinary workmen before the strike. As an encouragement to the men for the energy they have displayed during the emergency that has arisen the military authorities have increased their pay, and each man is now receiving from ls. 6d. to 2s. per day working money in addition to his re gular daily pay, together with many - other advan tages. It is expected that the Royal Engineers will complete their portion of the factory in , about 14 days from the present time. The following vessels have been chartered by the Hon. Council for India for the conveyance of the reinforcements to Calcutta, Bombay, and Madras— viz., Octavia, Minden, Weimer Castle, Alfred, Aliquis, Hanover, Surrey, Barham, Gosforth, and ' Tiptree. The reinforcements are to - embark at Gravesend between the 6th and 7th September, the following being the number proceeding to each pre sidency :—Calcutta, 2,300 men ; Bombay, 460 men; Madras, 370 men ; and Kurrachee, 260 men. The Himalaya, screw 'troopship, Commander. J. Seccombe, arrived at Spithead early 'on Saturday morning from Gravesend with the following offi cers and men of the 86th (Royal County Down) Regiment, on board, who have recently returned from service in India :—Lieut.-Col. R. IL Louth, C.B. Major W. K. Stuart, Capts. J. J. Gordowand G. H. Adams, Lieuts. W. Knip, A. R. Ord, and C. Keane, Ensign W. Saunders, Assistant-Surgeon. T. S. Barry, 30 sergeants, 13 drummers, .30 cor porals, 440 privates, 21 women, . and 31 children. The Himalaya steamed into Portsinouth harbour from Spithead yesterday at high water, when the troops were disembarked and marched into the new barracks at Gosport. _ . About 300 or the Donegal Militia are now lying at Great Yarinouth, having succeeded the Louth Rifles, removed to Carlisle and Bury. Another divi sion of the Donegal regiment is now lying at Dept ford. The companies at Great Yarmouth are under the command of Lieut.-Col;Lord Claude IlaniiltOn. STAFF COLLEG.E .EXAMINATION.

THE DEPOTS AT WEEDON, WOOL WICH, AND THE TO WEB. • The report of the commission appointed to inquire into the state of the store and clothing depots at Weedon, Woolwich, and the Tower, together with the minutes of evidence, was issued on Saturday. The commissioners first treat of the depot at Wee don, giving a narrative of tha circumstances attend ing the formation of that establishment, and sketth lug the state of affairs as revealed by their inquiry. They coincide with their accountants when they say :—" We have great satisfaction in expressing to your Majesty our belief that, whatever suspicions may have been naturally excited, there has been, as regards the stores at Weedon, no dishonest deal ing whatever. Everything which has been paid for has been received, and no defalcation has taken place. To have arrived at this conclusion makes us regret, less than we should otherwise regret, the time, labour, and money spent in this inquiry. Nothing, indeed, can be a greater proof of the con fusion and arrears into which the store accounts had fallen than the fact that it has taken Messrs. Quil ter, Ball, and Jay eight months at least to complete the ledgers, and to arrive at the judgment on them above expressed." The actual loss in cash occasioned by Mr. El liot's deficiencies is reduced to £4B 10s. 6d., a guarantee association having paid £2,000. Upon a review of the whole evidence, the commissioners find it impossible to express any other opinion than that the general mode in which the business of the Wee don establishment was conducted was far from sa tisfactory. In their opinion the main defects in the establishment are chargeable to the War Depart. ment. The following extract will show the cha racter of the defects as viewed by the commis sioners : " 1. It was a mistake to fix the clothing depot so far from London, beyond the opportunity of imme diate and frequent personal surveillance by the director and assistant director of clothing, and separated from the important branch establishment in Mark-lane. This mistake is now remedied by the abandonment of Weedon as a depot for clothing, and the removal of the establishment to Pimlico. " 2. It was a mistake to appoint the first head of the establishment without specific instructions as to ith organisation. " 3. It was a great mistake to supply him at the outset of the undertaking with a smill and inexpe rienced staff. The inspection staff in particular ought to have been organised from the commence ment upon the plan adopted at the Tower, and better salaries should have been given to the various inspectors. " 4. It was a continuing mistake not to increase the staff in proportion to the increase of the work, in accordance with Mr. Elliott's frequently re peated requests. " 5. It was a mistake, notwithstanding the dis tance of Weedon from London, that more frequent visits were not paid there by the directors of clothing, and a more rigid supervision exercised over the books and the stores. " 6. It was a mistake not to have had a more considerable store in hand before commencing the issues, so as to have been prepared for the emer gencies which arose. " 7. It was, we think, a most serious mistake to have separate contracts for the cloth required, and for the making that cloth into garments ; a course involving double contracts, double correspondence, double inspection, double carriage, double keeping of accounts. This defect has been cured, the con tracts being now in the first instance entered into for the clothing completely made up." The system pursued at Woolwich and the Tower is substantially the same, and the commissioners thus sum up together;their remarks upon the points on which her Majesty required their opinion. " 1. Upon a review of the system upon which the books have been kept, we find it to be in ac cordance with that prescribed by the ordinance re gulations. If that system be rigidly adhered to in practice, as it appears to have been at Woolwich, we think it a good and efficient system for the pur pose of ascertaining the amount of stores received, expended, issued, and remaining in hand. If it bs departed from, and arrears permitted, such as in the case of the Tower we have animadverted on, the system seems to us to furnish no materials by which the irregularities and confusion resulting from such neglect can be remedied. " 2. As regards the system upon which the stores .at Woolwich and the Tower hare. been kept, it appears to us that at the last-named depot, pre vious to 1856, when Mr. Godley's regulations came into force, -no regular system of classifying the stores was adopted, partly in consequence of the defective organisation of the establishment, and partly in con sequence of the -insufficient space available for stores, which latter defect was aggravated by the enormous amount of stores received at this depot •during the war. At Woolwich, from -the larger space .at conimand, this inconvenience has been avoided. " The general mode in which the business of these establishments has been conducted has been in the main satisfactory as regards the system upon which supplies have been obtained. We have no reason to suppose that favouritism has been exer cised, or that the contracts entered into have been aribtrary, or (as was the case at Weedon) contra dictory in their conditions.. Neither do we think that thoSe conditions have been unfairly enforced on the one hand, or evaded with impunity on the other. But, as already stated, we are .of, opinion that until 'the staff was reorganised in : 1856, : the inspection at the Tower was loose and unsatisfac tory, having been up to that period not unfrequently conducted by examiners not duly qualified for their task. We consider the arrears in . the Tower ac counts to which we have drawn attention to be quite inexcusable, and indeed disgraceful to, those who , were then ) intrusted with -the control and su pervision of .the department. Since Mr. Eaton became storekeeper in July, 1855, and the staff of inspectors has been, organised, the mode of conduct ing business has greatly improved, both, as regards the inspection. and classification .of stores, and the keeping of the accounts relating to them. As the business is at present conducted, we believe it excludes—as far as any system that could be, devised can exclude—the opportunity of improperly influencing the officials employed. No system can bxtirpate corrupt • motives, nor can we imagine any so perfectly ad ministered as absolutely to prevent' the possibility of a bribe being occasionally offered . and received. Neither can any system, however uprightly ad ministered, shield honest men from' imputations' of venality--imputations too often' made in the first instance .maliciously, hinted at obscurely, magnified and multiplied by careless repptition, - and too readily believed by many whO would shrink from an act of more deliberate but not of greater injus tice. We feel bound to declare our conviction that the vague general charges of corruption and venality which have, as we are aware, been freely circulated against the present inspectors and. viewers at Wool wich and the rower are without substantial foun dation. "We have already intimated our opinion that the result of the mode of conducting the business at Woolwich is satisfactory. We think the public interests have been well served by the vigour, in telligence, and accuracy of the officers at that sta tion. And we are inclined to believe that the result of the arrear s an d discrepancies in the Tower ac counts- prior to 1856, however discreditable, has been less detrimental to the public service than might have been feared. Although complete cer tainty on the point is unattainable, we think there has been no dishonesty, no defalcation in the stores, no substantial loss to the public, and that the errors in question are errors of account only, which we have every reason to believe will not again occur if the more frequent and rigid super vision we have recommended be adopted, and the storekeeper be at all times provided with a sufficient staff of competent clerks. "5. Finally, we have the satisfaction of certify ing to your Majesty our opinion that the present state of the books and stock of stores at both these depots appears to us unexceptionable, and that the mode in which they have been kept since 1856 is creditable to those who have been charged with the responsibility of organising and superintending these important establishments." - MR. LIBBY A T ALDERSHOTT. Mr. Rarey, having fully ventilated his new and ingenious principles of equine education all over Europe, and more especially in the great cities of the United Kingdom, in the arena of public exhi bition, has now wisely descended into the more sober reahns of practical utility, having commenced the application of his system to the manage ment of horses, arid the teaching of riding masters and rough riders in her Majesty's army. We understand that frequent inspections of Mr. Itarev's mode of managing the horse having convinced his Royal Highness the Commander-in- Chief of the probability of its becoming useful in military horse-breaking, his Royal Highness de termined upon giving that gentleman the oppor tunity of making some experiments amongst the cavalry at Aldershott. Accordingly a class con sisting of twenty-five, riding-masters, rough riders, farriers, and one veterinary surgeon, was put under his instruction. They have been now for some weeks receiving practical lessons in his mode of subduing hitherto intractable animals, rendering the nervous and timid, bold, and curing individual horses of certain individual tricks and habits which rendered them dangerous and difficult to manage in combined cavalry movements. The class, although only a few weeks formed, has progressed under Mr. Rarey's teaching with wonderful rapidity, that gentleman having been able in the first instance to convince all, with the exception of a few veterans of the manage, of :the simplicity and soundness of his system. Men soon learn what they have been in the first instance convinced is sound and worth learning, and accordingly the members of Mr. Rarey's class are now in a very forward state of acquirement, all being thoroughly convinced that what they are learning will create a complete and most beneficial revolution in the whole art of horse training. The hard word "breaking" will, we trust, soon become obsolete, when the principle of gentleness once becomes generally recognised as the only true one in the management of the horse. Mr. Rarey's system, when reduced to a creed, contains only a few and very simple articles. He first lays it down that a horse can be convinced mentally, that man is more powerful than himself, and that having been so convinced he becomes from henceforth the docile servant of the latter. He en deavours to prove this by a simple illustration. If a horse drawing a heavy load be suddenly stopped by a deep rut, or slough, or any other obstruction, he makes two or three desperate plunges to extri cate himself, but finding his efforts unavailing, he then lies down, and no whipping or spurring Will stimulate him t' any further effort. The same re sult is witnessed in the case of an omnibus horse who falls in the streets of London, when he lies quietly under the gentlest pressure at his head, and never attempts to rise until all embarrassing har ness, &c., has been removed. Mr. Rarey produces a similar train of reasoning in the horses' mind by his system of " casting," that is, of throwing the horse down by means of the straps, and he contends that this one painless operation subdues the horse more effectually than all the years' cruel training of the old system. This is for intractable horses ; but for those which are at once gentle and timid, he prescribes their being made gradually familiar with everything which may have been the object of their alarm by having it slowly brought nearer and nearer to them until at last they touch it, when hiving once touched it and satisfied themselves that it is innocuous, they lose all fear of it for ever aft er —or at least for so long as their memory allows the impression to remain. All the bad habits of the horse of civilisation, he alleges to have been produced by rough and sudden handling in the commencement, for, the horse being physically one of the most nervous ani mals in the world, is the easiest alarmed by any rough or sudden movement. Mr. Rarey began his course of teaching by impressing these leading principles on his class, and then proceeded to show how they were to be carried into practical opera tion. And here, perhaps, lay the greatest difficulty. The intelligent and resolute men with whom he had to deal were not afraid to attempt anything with any horse in the world, but it took some time to teach them—and the teaching is as yet only in pro gress—that delicacy of manipulation, and tact, so to speak, in approaching the horse, form a very f u ll half of the whole secret. However, they were last week considered to be so far advanced as to per mit of an exhibition of their progress before com petent judges. and, accordingly, the whole class went through their lesson before a committee of cavalry officers in the Riding School at Aldershott, on Saturday last. It was expected that his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief would have been present, but at the last moment a telegraph announced that im portant business detained his Royal Highness in town. The o ffi cers present were M a jor-General Sir J. Y. Scarlett, Col. E. C. Hodge, 4th Dll4'ooll Guards, Colonel R. Parker, Ist Life Guards, and Lieut.-Col. Maude, Royal Horse Guards (Blue.) Mr. J. Wilkinson, veterinary surgeon, attended to note the effect of the " casting" in accelerating the pulse of the horses. The first animal experimented upon w as a b rown mare belonging to the 10th 7 ' l 7-7 7 1 ' 1 .7' 4 uusears, the bxeitibility 6f whale - e - t , made her ' exceedingly troubles° roog: ;Herhabit i rhea been to cite jump frantically, if any stranger was n amher,n s and' to the httention& bf the farrier she tit a strong objection, which rose to a perfect frenzy, if he - Ventured to approach her with hiskatherapren . on. Wheneier she required shoeing great violetitly including the dreadfully painful "twitch" on the nose, was invariably necessary, and her usefulness as a trooperwas thus serious l ly deteriorated. When first brought ou t on Satiii•day - her nervouS fidgetty nature was soon made manifest by.etnitdry snortings and tremblings, but a gentle pat on the neck soon pacified her, after which the farrier approached, slowly and deliberately, holding the obnoxious leather apron in his hand. He allowed her to smell it, touch it with her nose, and after wards to feel it rubbed gently along her neck, after which all that was necessary was to put it on and go to work. The whole action of shoeing was then simulated with hammer and na il s, and the' hitherto fractious mare submitted to the process with th 3 greateststeadiness and:propriety. Two other mares, a bay and a chesnut, both belonging to the same regiment, were subsequently exhibited. The first had a similar prejudiee as to shoeing, and the other had a habit of kicking violently when being saddled or mounted. Both had now evidently been reduced to a perfect state of docility;the first subinitting to the farrier without a start; and the second, having first had the saddle shown to her, and having been al lowed to touch it,Permitted it to'be put on at once, when the ridin g - mas t er moun t e d an d di sm ounted se veral times withbut the slightest resistance on her part. After thiS some new to the process, were very successfully thrown With the strap by different riding -masters. Mr. Day, sth Dragoon Guards, had a tough tussle with a powerful bay, who evidently had a strong inherent dislike to the procumbent posture, and perhaps the operator, this being his first appearance in presence of the general, was also a little nervous. But he ultimately overcame all resistance, and floored hishOrse in a very satisfactory manner. Mr. HesSey, of the Ist Life Guards, a much larger and more powerful man, and evi dently of greater experience, fel:awed with a black, and with much speedier succesu. His horie was down in a moment; and it was remarked-Li—both cases that the. horses,' on resuming their legs, did not exhibit the slightest symptoms of distress. Mr. Wilkinson felt the pulses of both immediately after their tumble, and found the acceleration to 'be by no means considerable. A few more trials were subsequently made with varying success according to the nerve anardexterity of thepupil tumbler, and finally, the first horse (who had so strong an objec tion to being shod) was taken to the forge and had shoes actually nailed on in. presence of the com mittee, who required this test in order to assure themselvesthat the treatment was successful. Dur ing the exhibition General Scarlett and the'icom mittee ask e d severa l pertinent questions, but ex pressed no opinion, their intention being, we under stood, to transmit a report of their - inspection to the Commanderin-Chief: Mr. Rarey was present dur ing the whole of. the experiments, but he did not in the slightest degree interfere with the riding masters or rough-riders, both of whoni he considers to have exhibited extraordinary aptitude in learn ing his system. LLOYD'S OCEAN TELEGRAPH. There was exhibited at Lloyd's on Saturday, by permission of the committee, a new code of signal telegraphs for the ocean marine service, invented and patented by Mr. William H. Ward, of America, by the adoption of which on board the Cunard line of steamers and the lighthouses on Cape Race, New foundland, and Cape Clear, Ireland, news to and from America and England will be obtained in the reduced space of five days, as thus :—A steamer leaving. New York on a Wednesday arrives off the Cape Race lighthouse on the Sunday following, and receives froin it the telegraph summary of news from New York of the previous day (Saturday). She makes the run from thence to the Cape Clear light in five -days, namely, on the Friday following, and communicates the news she received at Cape Rase, which is then transmitted to Liverpool and all parts of Europe. The means by which this great advance in our communication to and from America is attainable consists in a remarkably simple and' moist efficient apparatus ; in the shape of five lights in the shape of a diamond or cross, reflected through powerful reflectors observable at a distance of five to ten miles. It is by the number of combinations obtained that messages_ are despatched, and so simple and easy is the whale affair that a boy can attain a mastery of it in half an hour. These lights are for night telegraphing. Mr. Ward also exhibited a new shape of flags for day signals, so perfe - ct in their operations that they must supersede those now in use. They are in the shape of an acute angle, or three-corned elongated at one end, and in consequence of which while in a breeze they float out clear and distinct ; they also in a dead calm fall, or hang suspended, in a way which at once denotes their number, and conse quently there is no difficulty as at present by the flags in use deciphering their character, and conse quently there is no delay in communicating signals between ships or points on land. To both army and navy, and the mercantile ma rine these two systems of telegraphic signals will prove most useful and advantageous. SUPPOSED SUICIDE IN THE SEI?- PENTINE. Last Saturday night an investigation took place before Mr. Langham, deputy-coroner for West minster, at the Board Room of the Workhouse, St. George's, Hanover-square, on view of the body of the unknown woman who was found floating on the Serpentine on Wednesday evenin g last, and removed while still breathing to the Receiving-house of the Royal Humane Society, where she died from the effects of drowning at 10 o'clock the folloiving morning. The body of the deceased has since been identified by her relations as Emma Williams, a seamstress, 20 years of age, in the employment of a Mrs. Roland, 68, Great Titchfield-street, Maryle hone. As it appeared from the evidence of various witnesses, the case was an extremely melancholy one, and a married sister, who was present at the inquiry, suffered great distress of mind, and fre quently burst into paroxysms of grief. The de ceased was an orphan, of a naturally cheerful dis position, steady, and respectable; but, as her rela tions were poor, she was compelled to get her liv ving as a seamstress, and toiled con stantly at her needle from 12 to 16 hours daily with her late em ployer for the past five years. She_ earned, upon an average, from 10s. to 12 s. per week, from w hich she had to pay her brother-in-law, with whom she boarded and lodged at 30, University-street, 7s. per week. Recently she complained very much of her eyes, and occasionally had been somewhat depressed in spirits in consequence of their weakness, and at times told her sister that if they should fail her, as she feared they would, she could not tell what she should do for a living, as she then would be prevented from following her occupation, and had no one in the wide world to depend upon, and, according to the statement of her sister, she worked very hard to keep herself respectable. About an hour and a half previous to the time she was found in the Serpentine she left her work in her usual good health and spirits, and about three minutes before the supposed rash act she was seen by a young man named Bollinot, walking rapidly across the bridge of the Serpentine from the direc tion of Kensington. It was very dark and foggy at the time, and in consequence he lost sight of her almost immediately she passed him, but believed she jumped into the river from one of the bridge parapets, as his attention and that of others near the scene was firs t attracted by a loud splash. Ver dict, " Deceased died from the effects of drowning, but how she got into the water ther e was not , suffi cient evidence to show."
