At daybreak the Marquis of Ailsa's splendid lifeboat was promptly brought to the scene, but, from the violence of the hurricane, and the rocks, dangerous as they are at that spot, it was deemed advisable to refrain from launching it. The Most Noble the Marquis of Ailsa was also promptly on the spot, and during the entire day he personally superintended the operations of his ser vants and fishermen to rescue the crew of the unfor tunate ship, consisting of 15 sailors, exclusive of the chief officers, with their wives and two children. The entire day was spent in fruitless efforts to get those on board taken to shore, and it was only by an artificial mode of swinging the .crew from the ship with a rope , a b out three o ' c l oc k on Friday afternoon, that their safety was at length secured. The waves rolling in from the Atlantic presented a truly magnificent spectacle. They broke over the doomed vessel with terrible fury, suggesting to one's mind that though th e Ri alto had escaped the de stroying Alabama she must go to pieces on the peace ful shores of th e Clyde. The gal e i ncreased to such a degree that by midnight she began to break up, and on Saturday morning the whole shore around that place was strewn with barrels, sails, spars, broken masts, and furniture of the vessel. Nothing remains of the noble Rialto, but an entire accumulation of wreck. The most noble the Marquis of Ailsa and Colonel Shaw, of Kirkmichael, were at the scene of shipwreck on Saturday Also; and great praise is due to ihe Lord Lieutenant of Ayrshire for per sonal efforts at the scene during the fiercest storm of this year. The crew were all saved—the cargo partly destroyed. The ship was about 700 tons 1 burden, and, we bt.lit , vo, iR insured. NAVY. The screw corvette Scylla, 21, 400 horse power, Capt. R. Lambert, arrived at the Nore yesterday from the Mediterranean, and saluted the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir W. J. Hope Johnstone. The Scylla has been in commission upwards of three years. She will be immediately dismantled and paid off into the steam reserve. The naval invalids and supernumeraries who came home in the Scylla from the Mediterranean still re main on board, as it was found impossible to land them at Portsmouth owing to the roughness of the sea on Saturday. The Scylla has experienced very rough weather during her passage from Spithead. The Conqueror, 89, 600 horse power, is ordered to be fitted for the first division of the steam reserve, in the Medway, in succession to the Meeanee, 81 400 horse power, commissioned for service in the Mediterranean. The Amphion, 36, screw steam frigate, 1,474 tons, 300-horse power, Capt. A. C. Gordon, recently from the Mediterranean, was paid off under the superintendence of Capt. S. P. Thompson, of the Steam Reserve at Sheerness, on Saturday last. The crew were granted 14 days' leave. The Amphion will be placed in the third division of the Sheerness Steam Reserve. The Geyser, 6, paddle-wheel steam sloop, 1,054 tons, 280-horse power, Commander Colin A. Camp bell, sailed from Sheerness on Monday with the seamen for the western ports who were paid off from the Amphion on Saturday. The Geyser has also on board provisions for the Channel squadron which she has fetched from Deptford. On Monday, the 15th inst., it was reported in The Sun that the Lily, 4, screw steam gun vessel 200-horse power, Commander Henry Harvey, had, by orders from the Lords of the Admiralty, returned from Plymouth to Sheerness, to undergo inspec tion, relative to certain defects which rendered her unseaworthy having been reported on her arrival at Plymouth en route for Cuba. It was also reported that on her return to Sheerness Mr. Joseph Large constructor of the navy, and Mr. James Wright, assistant-chief engineer of the navy, from the office of the Controller of the navy, had inspected the Lily, and that they had sent up their report to the Admiralty. Since !ben their lordships have re ported to the Commander-in-Chief at Sheerness that, having taken the matter into consideration, their lordships had decided that Commander Harvey had incurred their most serious displeasure for re tarding the public service by sending in a list of frivolous defects which ought not to have been made. They further entirely exonerate the officers of Sheerness dockyard from all The principle defect which required, alteration vies connected with the furnace bars, whiCh hid from improper management become welded together during the passage from Sheerness to Plymouth. The authorities at Sheerness are now making new furnace bars, and as soon as they are fitted the Lily will proceed to sea. A few days since we had occasion to refer to an order received at Portsmouthdockyard from the Ad ralty directing that the chief energies of the Mas ter Shipwright's department should be devoted to the repairs of the Cnragoa and Esk (the one a wooden screw frigate and the akar a corvette, and both half rotten in their framing), even to the neg lect, if necessary, of other work in hand in the yard. At the same time we pointed out the strange incon sistency of this order, if by carrying it out any por tion of the work upon the two ironplated ships Royal Sovereign and Royal Alfred should be de layed. Our fears in this respect have been fully verified. The Royal Sovereign shield-ship has now only some 50 shipwrights employed upon her, and the Royal Alfred, plated frigate, about 60. Both vessels have therefore had three-fourths of the hands employed upon them removed, inadequate as the original numbers were for the work to be completed. They have been employed upon the repairs of two vessels that Rill be worthless as men of-war when finished, and therefore can only repre sent so many thousands deliberately thrown away. It is necessary the matter should be fully under stood, for no question at present can be of much greater importance to us, as the chief maritime power of Europe. The Royal Alfred is supposed by many naval men to be the representative of what this country should possess in the iron-plated broad side gun-frigate, while the Royal Sovereign, as everyone now knows, is the representative of the Coles shield, or central gun principle—a principle which has been almost exclusively adopted in the additions lately made to the Federal American fleet. It is therefore surely requisite that both these ships, but more especially the Royal Sovereign, should be got afloat as speedily as possible, in order to obtain certain results for future guidance. Their Lord ships appear to wish to reduce Capt. Coles's plans to a simple applicability for coast floating batteries, and to further damage the principle by unaccount able delays. Capt. Coles, on the contrary, bas always maintained that his shield-ships would be as good sea boats as the ordinary broadside gun class of ship, and would, moreover, be en abled, from the central position of their guns, to cast adrift and work their guns in a seaway when it would be simply impossible for any broadside-gun plated ship, with her ports cut down to the water ways of her decks, to do the same. In addition, the Admiralty have before them drawings of an exceed ingly simple and effective plan of rigging the cupola or shield ship with biped tubular iron masts, which, fitted with the Cunningham topsail yards, wo u ld enable the Royal Sovereign to carry some hundred more feet of sail as a shield ship than she could have again, there is a d n o o n tehearsreassoinhrweeh- y de t c h k e er s . hip l s l l P to re u ' ld be at Spithead as speedily as possible—that We may find out what sail she can spread under ordinary circumstances at sea, and her mode of reducing sail, and the amount she would then carry on going into action. At pre sent, therefore, the case stands thus :—The number of men employed upon the two iron-cased ships have been reduced to a minimum, in order to repair two wooden ships the hulls of which are only fit for firewood. The iron-cased ships, when completed, would not only prove a most valuable addition to our navy, but would also assist greatly.in solving VS TEO EIDON What is it? See Patent, March 1, 1862, No. 560.

AMERICAN RELIEF O. LANCASHIRE DI STRESS. The International Relief Fund Committee has issued the following appeal in behalf of the Lan cashire operatives : " The blow struck at our national existence has fallen heavily upon the operatives of Europe, and it is announced to us that in England there is unusual suffering and a year of scarcity. The agony of Lancashire,' says the London is every day becoming more acute, and before the winter is ended the sufferings of the people will prove the greatest national trial that we have had since the Irish famine.' When the Irish famine prevailed in 1847 the Ame rican people, from the Atlantic to the Mississippi, gladly gave of their abundance ; our Government furnished trans portation for the food ; the British Government afforded facilities for its distribution; and the Queen, whose virtues fully illustrate her words, recognised the friendliness of the act. Again we are called upon in the name of humanity to relieve men, women, and children, who are compelled, with out faults of their own, to face a more fearful enemy than war. The appeal comes to those to whom God in his pro vi&ence has been most bountiful. Amid all the trials He has permitted us to meet in the defence of national unity and constitutional freedom, unsatisfied hunger has had no place ; and, despite the withdrawal of an army of citizens to protect the liberties of the republic, the labours of those who remained have been so plentifully blessed that America is able, from her surplus, to export largely to other coun tries. Let us not be unmindful at this moment of the re sponsibilities imposed upon us by the munificence of the Ruler of nations, nor permit our sorrows and burdens to lead us to forget or to undervalue the peculiar duties that belong to our position. Cur agricultural efforts, extended over a wide and fertile territory, as yet thinly populated, have made our land one of the granaries to which the na tions of Europe that subsist chiefly by manufactures now look for food ; and the operatives of Lancashire, temporarily deprived of American cotton, have more than ever occasion for American corn. Let that corn be for warded with the generosity that becomes a people who have undergone the greatest trial that can befall a nation, and who know the value of sympathy promptly tendered in the moment of misfortune. Let us show , our, gratitude to Providence for all its mercies by recog nizing the claims of Christian brotherhood, and hasten to relieve the want whose sharp cry comes to us across the ocean. The Homestead Act of Congress, whoa gives to each settler in our Western Territories, without regard to his nationality, 160 acres of the public land, offers to every foreigner a welcome and a home ; but a threatening winter of suffering demands instant relief, and reminds us of the ancient proverb, "He gives twice who gives quickly." There is reason to believe, from significant indications, not alone in New York, but throughout the country, that the people need no urging to activity in this cause, but rather wait with impatience the necessary organisation for the con venient transmission of their gifts. To this end the under signed, who have been appointed by the citizens of New York to act in concert with similar bodies, urgently recom mend the citizens of every city, town, and village through out the Union to call public meetings and appoint commit tees, to collect and remit moneys and food to committees on the seaboard ; and they respectfully ask the clergy of all denominations at once to bring the subject before their con gregation, and to take up collections, that all, according to their ability, may unite in this national and truly Christian work. They confidently believe that the railroad com panies and the owners of vessels on the lakes, whose pros perity has been of late largely augmented by the increase of our agricultural products, will cheerfully furnish gratui tous transportation for all donations of food ; and that our enterprising shipowners will exhibit the like liberality in furnishing freight room to Europe. They anticipate ready assistance from the country at large, but they rely espe cially upon our food-producing States for prompt and generous contributions from the grain accumulated on their hands. The undersigned have already received, as will appear by the report of their treasurer, large donations which they hail as the earnest of those to come, and they repeat with pleasure the announcement that by the libe rality of Messrs. N. L. and G. Griswold, a new ship of 1,800 tons burden has been placed at their disposal. They propose to transmit the provisions they shall receive and those which they may purchase as rapidly and econo mically as possible, commencing the work without delay, and making such arrangements with persons of probity in Great Britain as shall insure their immediate and judicious distribution." Mr. Thurlow Weed has contributed 1,000 dole. and the following letter : " Washington, Dec. 4, 1862. " Dear Sir,—l am happy to learn that the enterprise about which we conversed in New York on Tuceday last has been auspiciously inaugurated. The organisation effected in New York will speedily aggregate the contribu tions of our citizens, and relief will le soon on its way to the suffering families of the cotton manufacturing districts of England. There can be no form of Buffering which ap peals with such emphasis to intelligent American benevo lence. Our unavoidable civil war is the immediate though blameless occasion of the want of employment and food which pervades and desolates the manufacturing towns of England. Their distress, therefore, appeals earnestly to our hearts. Nor is the fact that our war leaves the labourers of Lancashire, England, without employment and their fami lies without bread their only claim upon us. They are our friends. While the sympathies of many of the commercial classes of England are with the insurgent States, while the cotton houses of Liverpool were furnishing 'material aid' to the Ccifccierltes, the operatives of the cQttQu districts and THE SUN, F.ONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEIVIBER 23, 1862, PUBLICATIONS NEW WORK by the AUTHOR of "JOHN HALIFAX."

Though often enough reminded of the causes of their suffering, the operatives, reduced, from short labour and diminished wages, to idleness and starva tion, bear their burdens with a patient fortitude which chal lenges more than our sympathies. Their destitution and for bearance appeal to us, fortified by an argument founded in such eloquent justice that I am sure it will be responded to with equal alacrity and munificence. Let us, then, make haste to cast our bread u p on th e waters.' Enclosed please find my che c k f or 1 , 00 0 do ' s.—Very tru l y yours, " To It. B. Ali nturn, Esq. “inunLow WEED." At a meeti ng h e ld in the P ro d uce -E xc h ange on the 6th, on behalf of the distressed operatives, the Rev. T. L. Cuyler, of Brooklyn, Gentlemen of the Produce-Exchange,—l shall be very brief, for the best buyers in this room make the shortest speeches. A proposal has just been made by your President to divide the big loaf, which our Heavenly Father has this year given us, with our starving brethren across the water. This measure commends itself to us as an act of simple justice to our friends. The bleeding heart of Lancashire is with us. Whatever be the opinions of kings or of emperors, of statesmen or aristocrats, the labouring masses of Europe are with us in our death-grapple for popular liberty. Last summer, when a meeting of the operatives was held in a town of Lancashire, and a proposal was made to petition the Government for intervention, the noble fellows said, No America's battle is our battle. We will suffer, and, if need be, starve, rather than to hinder a nation that is fighting fur the rights of labour and for universal freedom.' Shall such men be allowed to suffer? God forbid I while our granaries are full to bursting. Let this gilt go abroad among the toiling masses of the Old World as a slight re turn for the strong arms they have sent us to uphold our national standard in our hour of struggle for the Union and Liberty. (Applause.) Again; I advocate this as a war measure. Yesterday a vasti expedition left our beautiful harbour under the command of#at little iron man Genera' Banks. (Applause.) Whith9f s qtr is bound none of us will know till we hear the echo of is guns; lsut God h. may not return until a Massachusetts army has replaced the blessed old flag on the ramparts of Fort Sumter. (Ap - plause.) Now let us fit out another expedition for peaceful conquest. Le: us accept that new ship offered by the splendid liberality of the Griswolds—that vessel which will yet float in history beside the craft that Henry Grinnell sent on the search for Sir John Franklin. Let us load her up with the produce of our prairies until there is not room enough for another sack of grain or even a red herring. Then run up the stars and stripes and send her right over in the track of the accursed pirate Alabama. Send her to Liverpool, the hotbed of Secession sympathies—to the same city in which £40,000 were subscribed in one week to help Jefferson Davis's atrocious conspiracy. Lay her alongside those magnificent docks, and let her open not her batteries, but her butteries, discharging 100 bags of bacon every hour. Let her pour a broadside of flour barrels, each barrel aimed at hungry mouths in the abodes of po verty. (Applause.) And when Liverpool has been tho. roughly sacked with sacks of grain and bombarded with barrels of flour—when the golden grain has been poured out without money and without price, then if John Bull is not conquered I shall have no faith in Gospel-gunnery. (Loud applause.) In the teeth of our enemies and slanderers, let us hurl back a noble act of Christian magnanimity. Mr. Cuyler then gave a beautiful Jewish tradition of two bro thers who met one night with sheaves of wheat in their hands, each going to place his sheaf on his brother's stack. So, said he, let Young America with her sheaf meet British philanthropy with its sheaf; and as on the place where those two Hebrew brothers met it is related that Solomon's temple was built, so let us on the spot of our common meeting build up a temple of brotherhood where Britons and Americans will swear to be true to each other and to the sacred rights of freedom and humanity I God speed the ship I (Applause.) A letter from R. P. Buck and Co. was read, stating that the new ship Hope would take 1,000 barrels of flour to Liverpool free, it sent alongside on or before next Wednesday. 8,350 dols. in cash, 300 barrels of flour, and 1,500 bushels of corn were contributed for the benefit of the sufferers. considerably. Au officer who came through from Alexandria by land, with a strong escort, was told at Dumfries that sixteen sutlers, with their waggons, were captured by White's rebel cavalry last week, and the owners made to drive their own teams t o some rebel station in the interior. White is r e p resented as having a large regiment of cavalry. It has for some days been considered unsafe to pass beyond Dumfries without a strong escort. A special court-mart ial met to-day to try John W. Irvine on the charge of being a spy, he having been captured within our lines. The accused was a private in the 9th Virginia Ca valry, and was captured near his father's house in the vicinity of Hartwood Court-house. It is un derstood that the Court have agreed upon a find ing, the result of which is not known. The follow ing general order has just been published : " ' No person will be allowed to cross the lines in the direction of the enemy without a pass from these headquarters.

" Scouts returning last night reported large par ties of the rebels at Brickland Mills, Thorough fare, and Hopeville Gaps, Reconnoissance which returned to-day met only two cavalry men, the other bodies having departed as suddenly as they came. Scouts to-day have been to Thorough fare and Hopeville Gaps, and to Middlebury, with out finding any rebels, except the inctilitants." " Washington, Dec. 7- " The recent cold snap has been intensely severe upon our soldiers in camp. Information has been re ceived here that six of our pickets in the Army of tne roionele vrcro froszon to dosah last night. In Camp Misery,' the miserable asylum for convale scents, near Alexandria, seven died from the effects of the cold. The new regiments that have recently arrived here and gone into camp without conve niences for making themselves comfortable have suffered very severely. The Surgeon-General has promised that he will remove from the convalescent camp without delay all for whom comfortable quartere can be provided in and around the city." IHE F.L.D.P.RAL AR 5111 From Virginia we have the following reports of military movements : " Headquarters of the Army of the Potomac, Saturday, Dec_ 6, a.m. "On Thursday the rebels brought some field pieces to bear on our gunboats lying in the Rappa hannock, near Port Royal. A few shots compelled them to withdraw their guns out of range. No harm was done. Yesterday the weather was any- thing but pleasant. In the morning it commenced raining, then hailing, and about neon snow set in, which continued rapidly to tall until 10 o'clock last night. This morning there are about tour inches of snow on the ground, and everything is frozen up. Much complaint is expressed among army officers in reference to the large number of Brigadier-Gene h-nrting strnuod Washington. with a view of getting appointed on courts-martial in order to escape active service in the field."

" Opposite Fredericksburg, Monday, Dec. 8, 10 a.m. " It is still intensely cold, with two to four inches of ice in the Potomac and Rappahannock to-day. Any movement involving the probability of fight ing is considered by our Generals impossible during this inclement weather. Every wounded man would die. With great fires, log horses, and em banked palisades under their tents, the troops keep tolerably comfortable. It is reported that two or three intoxicated men froze to death last night. Owing to the greatly diminished length and breadth of the girth of camp fires visible the night before last, the impression was prevalent that the enemy had fallen back to a new position, some distance to the rear of their former line of encampment. The immense volumes of smoke, however, that arose last evening on the opposite side, above the hills overlooking Fredericksburg, and seemed to extend for miles in a western and north-western direction, demonstrated that the presumed retrograde movement, if made at all, was meant only to bring them under better shelter in the ravines between the first and second range, and in the woods upon the latter, from the piercing north-west winds prevailing since the ddy before yesterday. The apparent fact of the con tinued presence of the great body of the rebel army in front of the right grand division can be but gratifying to General Burnside, for reasons that will be developed in a few days.

The shipping in the vicinity of the mouth of the Thames suffered severely from the north-west gales which set in early on Friday and continued till Sunday with such serious effect upon many points of the coast. Capt. Little, of the General Steam Navigation Company's steamer Countess of Lons dale, arrived at St. Katherine's, reports having en countered the most fearful weather. The gale gra dually increased as they approached the English coast. About noon on Saturday, just as the steamer was on the eve of entering the mouth of the Thames, a vessel called the Lady Emma was observed to capsize about midway between the Swin Middle and the Maplin lightship. The wind was blowing in fearful gusts from the W.N.W. The longboat was instantly lowered from the steamer and after some difficulty the crew were rescued, the appren tice, who was dragged through the water, being al most drowned. The Countess of Lonsdale had scarcely got under weigh before another wreck was seen, the schooner Orion, of Shields, bound to Ro chester, which had been driven upon the Barrow Sand. The steamer's boat was , again promptly lowered, and this second crew was preserved. Capt. Little also reports having observed a barge inside the Sunk Channel, and she must have beaten over the sand to have got there. It is feared that the worst has happened to her. Two other vessels are reported to have been lost on the Barrows in the course of Sunday morning,. the Gipsy, of Blake ney, and the Eliza Robson, the crew of which, it is hoped, were rescued by some outward-bound steamer. The Rebecca Bray, of London, was also lost near the Mouse. She was carried over the sand, having been driven from her two anchors and foundered. It is stated that the crew have been saved. The small craft have suffered considerably. LIVERPOOL, DEC. 22. Rumours were current here yesterday and to-d.iy that the Anglo-Saxon, which sailed hence for Port land on Tuesday last, had been lost on her passage to Londonderry. The telegraph lines between Belfast and Londonderry having been blown down, no in formation could be obtained from the latter place until thip.feor.ooo, mhpn intelligence was received that the Anglo-Saxon safety arrived at Moville at two p.m. yesterday, after a very stormy passage of three days, and proceeded for Portland. GREAT YARMOUTH, DEC. 22. The fury of the gale exhausted itself yesterday afternoon, the wind veering round from north-west to north-north-east. As the tide fell the sea be came less rough and the surf lighter on the beach. Inland, the tides yesterday rose so high on the river Yare, which falls into the sea at Yarmouth, that the matches between Norwich and Yarmouth were covered with vast sheets of water. This morning the floods have somewhat abated, but a large ex tent of land is still under water. From the same causes, the tide in the Waveney and at Oulton Broad, near Lowestoft, were extremely high, and the waters of the Broad forced their way over the Lowestoft branch of the Great Eastern Railway, so that the traffic was compulsorily suspended, and passengers had to be conveyed by omnibus to Yai mouth, and from that point to their various destina tions. Every effort is being made to restore the traffic, a large staff of men having been sent down for the purpose, but it will probably be impractic able to resume the usual movement until this even ing or to-morrow. KINU'S LYNN, MONDAY. The gales and the high tides have had a conside rable effect upon the banks, which in this neigh bourhood protect so great an extent of territory from the sea. In addition to the Terrington Marsh band and the Wolverton bank mentioned yesterday as being damaged, the bank of the river Nar, a tri butary of the Ouse, gave way about two miles from its outfall, and flooded about 100 acres. The tide in the Ouse on Sunday morning was a 23 feet tide, and its effects were felt all up the country, the water being level with the banks for a long distance. At Downham-bridge the water overflowed and washed up part of the floor of the bridge. At Stow-bridge the water also went over, and at about half a mile below Stow-bridge the bank gave way to the extent of boat eight yards, and from 50 to 100 acres Ns ere flooded. The breach was repaired be fore the evening's tide. At the well-known Syphon dam, in the Middle Level river, the water rose over the syphons and dam. The top of the dam was cradged and the water so kept back, and on Mon day all the syphons were at work again. Mr. Page's darn, at the entrance to the Marshland Fen drain, had the break part of it carried away. The Terring ton Marsh bank has been repaired by great exer tions, a large number of men being set to work, and as the wind has quite abated and the tides are fall ing, the danger is over for the present. 11 brig has got upon one of the sands in the Lynn Channel, and as it will require an 18-feet tide to float her her condition is not very promising. There have been numerous small casualties in Lynn harbour, ships losing their anchors, boats, and the like. The Hun stanton Railway, it is stated, is clear again. FEARFUL WRECK ON THE CARRICK SHORE. The late fearful hurricane hls left sad mementos of its ravages and fury on our shore. On Thurs day evening the full-rigged ship Rialto, from New York to Greenock, laden with flour, &c., after a passage of 22 days, was nearing the Cumbraes, towed by a steamer from the mouth of the Clyde when the violence of the storm separated the two, the Rialto, driven by the tempestuous elements, and in the dead hour of night, grounded heavily on the I rugged rocks between the Castle of Culzean and the ruins of Turnberry, at a point of the Maidens near the chemical works, It was about aix in the morn- /Z ( l~ the very diffi ult problem of "how to construct our iron flee n the future. Deferring all opinion upon the comparative merits of iron and wooden ships, however, to the superior judgment of the Admiralty, which is perhaps the most charitable way of putting it, and sacrificing all others upon the official shrine, the only inference that can then be drawn is that their lordships, after due conside ration, have determined to abandon the further construction of iron or iron plated ships, and to re vert to "wooden walls." 7HE Alexi,. The amended code of regulations, giving the , rank of commissioned officers to army schoolmas , tern, has been promulgated from the Horse-guards , by direction of the Duke of Cambridge, .and pub lished at Chatham garrison for general information. In future there will be two grades of army school masters—superintending schoolmasters and school masTers, the mbets of both of which gr,.des will be in every respect subject to the Mutiny Acr, the Articles of War, and the general regulations and orders fur the army_ Superintending schoolmasters will receive commissions as officers, but the lower grade of army schoolmasters will rank as non-com missioned officers next below sergeants-major. Tho pay of schoolmasters will in future be..as follows : First appointment as schoolmaster, 3s. per diem ; after two years' service, 3s. 6d.; after four years' service, 46.; after eight ditto, 56.; after 10 ditto, ss. 6d. The above leriodical increase of pay will depend upon the conduct and ability of the school master. After 21 years' service schoolmasters will be entitled to a pension not exceeding 36. per day. Schoolmasters will be provided with uniform, quar ters, furniture, fuel, and light at the public ex pense. Promotion to the rank of superintending schoolmaster will be conferred by the Field-Mar shal Commanding-in-Chief, on the recommenda tion of the Council of Military Education, in con sideration of merit and service. The pay of a supe rintending schoolmaster will be 7s, 6d. per diem, the periodical increase of pay and the amount of retiring allowance being now under consideration. The above regulations are subject to any alteration that the Commander in-Chief and the Secretary of State for - W ar may hereafter think proper. A War-office order has been received at Chatham directing that the practice of painting guns, car riages, and platforms the same colour as the works is in future to be discontinued. The guns are to be coated with an anti-corrosive substance, and the platforms and carriages painted lead colour. In accordance with the recent regulat'ons received from the Horse Guards, the whole of the rifles in possession of the troops at Chatham garrison have been inspected by one of the officials from the Go vernment small arms factory at Enfield, in order that all defective arms may be at once withdrawn. An inspection of the arms in possession of the troops undergoing their course of rifle instruction at Grave send has also been made, under the direction of Capt. Vereker, 12th Regiment. IRELAND. DUBLIN, DEC. 22. The bad spirit which disgraced Tralee has ap peared in Galway also, where an effort has been made to frustrate a work of charity. A county meeting was convened on Saturday last by the High Sheriff, Mr. Persse, and the Marquis of Clanricarde, the Lord-Lieutenant of the county: The attendance was very numerous, including Lord Clanricarde, LDrd Dunkellin, Lord Clan morris, Lord Clonbrock, Lord Allen Churchill, Sir Thomas J. Burke, M.P., many of the local gentry, some of the clergy, the Professors of the Queen's College, &e. the chair was taken by the High Sheriff. The first resolution was pro posed by the Marquis of Clanricarde, who, in an able speech, enforced the claims of the distressed operatives upon the sympathy and aid of the Irish people. The resolution was no sooner seconded by Mr. Bodkin than a gentleman who had been taking notes under the speaker rose in a very excited man ner, and, waving his hat to the audience, he was about to speak, when his voice was drowned in a tempest of applause from the populace who filled the body of the court. Lord Clanricarde remarked that the meeting was called for one object only— namely, for raising subscriptions for the distressed people in Lane! shire. If the gentleman's observa tions were in accordance with this object he had a right to speak. If not he should find a more fitting place for their utterance. He could call a meeting for the relief of Irish distress if he wished, and in that case Lord Clanricarde would give LI for every ss. he gave. The gentleman was Mr. Martin O'Brennan, editor of the Connaught Patriot. Speak ing loudly and with energetic gesticulation, Mr. O'Brennan told Lord Clanricarde he would not put 'him down; that he had met his Lordship six years before, met him now again, and "when Greek meets Greek then comes the tug of war; " that the Mar quis had not subscribed for Irish distress; that Lancashire is the richest county of the richest country in the world; that the operatives there have £4,000,000 in the savings-banks. He there fore propose an amendment, which was an excellent specimen of Connaught logic:— . _ _ " Be it resolved that, as this meeting fully sympathises with the alleged distress in Lancashire, the richest county in the world, we consider it would be a mockery of Irish poverty to collect for this without relieving home distress," The chairman declined to put the amendment, as being opposed to tho object of the meeting, and, apparently satisfied that it had been adopted by the mob who supported him, Mr. Brennan desisted from troubling the meeting further. Lord Clonbrock moved and Sir Thomas J. Burke seconded a resolution that a subscription list be opened, and that the clergy of all denominations be called upon to co-operate. £2OO was subscribed in the room. Mr. Charles Kean and Mrs. Kean have concluded a most successful engagement in the Theatre Royal of this city. Mr. Kean took his benefit and de livered a farewell address on Saturday night week, when the house was crowded in every part, and the company manifested the liveliest feelings of admi ration. At the request of the manager, Mr. Harris, they prolonged their stay for another week, to the great satisfaction of the playgoing part of the public. The enthusiasm elicited by Mr. Kean's Wolsey and by The Wonder was as great as they had ever excited on any former occasion. On Thursday some of the Kanturk constabulary were employed in guarding a gentleman who re sides about 10 miles from the town, Mr. Richard Bolster, Summerville. Re was escorted from his residence, Castlamagner, by some of the Ballyclough police, and thence into Kanturk by two of the consta bulary of that town. It appears Mr. Bolster some time ago got a threatening notice, wherein he was told that he would meet the same death as Braddell and others met if he would not change his present mode of dealing with parties. The Mallow and. Bally dough police remain near his residence every night. It is said he intends applying to have a few con stabulary left with him henceforward both night and day.

In the heart of Berlin, on the bank of the Spree, along which lies a dull garden open to the public, but little visited save by nursemaids and their attendant guardsmen, stands an old palace, where originally was a farm and dairy of the Electress Louisa. Frederick I. having sold the place to Count Wartenberg for the very moderate sum of G7G dollars, the purchaser erected the central part of the pre sent building I At his disgrace, it passed into the hands of Queen Sophia Dorothea, who enlarged the edifice and gar den, and named it, Monbijou. It was occupied by Peter the Groat and his suite in 1717, during that visit to Berlin of which Carlyle affords ns such strange glimpses. Since then it has had various occupants, and for some years past its northern wing has been fitted up and used as an English chapel, where the service of the Established Church is re gularly performed. On Sunday last, a mournful Cinniver sary,the chapel was hung withblack,and un usua ll y crow d ed, and the Queen of Prussia and her suite occupied the pewv habitually reserved for the Princess Victoria, now absent from Berlin. ger Majesty wa s rece i ve d a t th e en t rance to the chapel by the British Cha rge d'Aff a i res —th e ambassa dor, who arrived three days previously, not having, up to that date,delivered his credentials, and being present,there fore, only in his private capacity.
