Army and .Navy Gazettd. La Patric publishes the following :—" A report B s was spread yesterday of the r mall of our expeditionary E corps in Mexico. We believe w-r 3 may state that the report 1 is completely inexact. It is, moreover, asserted that the proposed sending of reinforcem .ents has been adopted in Principle, but that the details o f that measure will not be settled until the news has been received of the entrance of the French into the city of Mex ico," RAILWAY PROGRESS IN TALE EAST.—The require meats of the Board of Trade having been complied with, a further portion of the Colne Valley Railway will be opened for traffic between Castle Hedingttam and Yeldham on Mon day. The company will then hose 13 miles of line in ope ration. The Ramsey Railway it; about to be at once pro ceeded with. Fir Charles Fox is engineer, and Mr. Simpson has contracted for the works, which are of a light and easy character. 1 The two vacant captain's good-service pensions will be allotted by the Duke of Somerset either this day or on Monday. The delay which has taken place in bestow ing these substantial favours on. their future recipients, has been caused by the difficulty of selecting two officers from the long list of deserving men which his Grace has had to wade carefully through. The service may rest satisfied from all we have heard that the claims of every qualified officer have in this instance been most strictly inquired into, and although we understand that two names have been approved of by the duke, yet it is not even im probable that in the course of the day some alteration may be made, thus proving the anxiety which exists to do sub stantial justice.—Army and Navy Gazette. The acting command of the 3d Brigade at Alder shott will be rendered vacant by the appointment Colonelf Haines to be Deputy Adj u t an t-G enex al in hel , in s ces sion to Colonel Brownrigg.—Army and Navy n Gazetts uc . - Colonel F. P. Haines, of the Bth Regiment, now =sting as Brigadier at Aldershot, will be the new Deputy Adjutant-General in Ireland, in succession to Col. Bro - tigg, who, as we stated some weeks since, reverts to half 1J 'ay, Col. Haines has earned a high reputation both as a imental and staff officer, his services in the field are most di sti'nguished, and his qualifications for his new post, both as a soldier and a gentleman, are undeniable. Should an al ter case of difficulty arise like that with which the name of \his predecessor has been so unfortunately associated, we fei ii sure that Col. Haines will deal with it in a way to bring n'oither discredit on the administration of the law nor per pl 'exing troubles to the door of the authorities at head quarters.—Army and .Navy Gazette. Captain F. H. H. Glasse, C.B. (1846), will, it is at ated, sueceed Captain Frederick Hutton as senior naval officer at Bermuda. Captain Hutton's time expire on the Uth inst. Captain Glasse recently paid off the Terrible in excellent order.—Army and Navy Gazette. COLLISION AND Loss OF LIFE ON THE RIVER.— Yesterday morning, at an early hour, a fatal accident oc curred on the river off Grays, to a waterman named James Jury, residing at Gibson- s t ree t, E a st Greenwich. It ap peared that the deceased, and a man named Breslau, were proceeding down the river in a small boat, which was at t ached by a rope to a screw steam vessel. The boat was by some means run down and completely smashed by a steam tug, and Jury was struck into the water and drowned; but Breslau saved his life by c li ng i ng t o th e ro p e until a sssistance was rendered. The directors of the Madras Irrigation Company aye issued their report, to be submitted to the meeting on tl.Ae 29th inst. It mentions various fav,,urable facts con nected with the undertaking. Captain Minchin, formerly of the 51st Light Infantry, and Quartermaster Hendry of the 9th Depot B attaliou, have been appointed Military Knights of Wind s or.—Army and Navy tiaette.

BOW-STREET, THIS DAY. VIOLENT ASSAULT. — John King, door-keeper at the Red Lion public-house, in the Strand, was charged with violently assaulting Thomas Ansell, a militiaman. From the evidence it appeared that the complainant was in front of the bar of the Red Lion public-house between 2 and 3 o'clock this morning, drinking, when a conversation arose relative to the late review at Brighton. The conver sation ultimately ended in a quarrel, and the complainant was forcibly ejected from the house by the prisoner, but, before doing so, he (prisoner) struck him a violent blow with something that he took from a cupboard. He then, on getting him outside the house knocked him down, and deliberately kicked him six times abort the face and body. One of the witnesses said that the prisoner so savagely assaulted the complainant that the blood flowed from his head " like a water tank." _ _ The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said the com plainant behaved in a very disorderly manner in front of the bar, and as there were several respectable people there, he put him out. In doing so the complainant struck him, and the chief part of the injuries he had received had been caused by a fall. The Magistrate said it had been distinctly proved that the prisoner had deliberately kicked tho man in a very cowardly manner, and, in order to punish him for such an assault, he should send him to prison for six weeks, with hard labour, without the option of paying a fine. THE SUSPICIOUS DEATH I.Nt WHITE HART STREET. EXAMINATION OF THE ACCUSED THIS DAY. John Lemon was this morning placed before Mr. Corrie, at the Bow-street police -court, charged with causing the death of Anne Gedling, of No. 11, White Hart-street, Drury-lane. The prisoner seems to be abou t fifty years of age, and has a number of scratches about his face which appear to have been recently done. Mr. Nugent said—l am ass'stant to Mr. Lovatt, surgn 23, Clare-street. About 11 y esterda y morning they risoeoner came to our place and said his wife was poisoned. I wen i mme diately to No. 11, White Hart -street, Drury-lane,t and on going into the room I found the woman at the point of death. She gave four gasps and expired. She was foam ing at the mouth. There was a wound on the right temple which appeared to have been done with some sharp instru ment. I thought she had taken poison, from the circum stance of the foam coming from her mouth. Prussic acid would produce that effect. Mr. Corrie—Did you examine the body to discover the cause of death ? Witness—l did not. There must be an internal exami nation to ascertain that. Mr. Corrie—Then your knowledge of the cause of the death of the woman is from what was told you by the prisoner. Witness—Yes. He showed me a bottle containing a quantity of solution of cyanide of potassium. Mr. Corrie—ls it of sufficient strength to cause death if taken inwardly ? Witness—l cannot tell. I have not examined it. Mr. Corrie—lt is a poison, then. Witness—Yes ; a very rank one. Mr. Corrie—ls it used as a medicine ? Witness—No. It is used for electrotyping, and also in photography. Mr. Corrie—Was there any label on the bottle to show where it came from ? Witness—No, sir. When the prisoner showed me the bottle, he said, " That's the stuff my wife has taken." He also produced some potassium in the lump, and said, "This is what I make the solution of." Mr. Corrie—Then he told you that he made the solu tion ? Witness—Yes, sir. He said he used it in his trade. Police-constable F 11, said about half-past eleven yester any mnrnine I was passing White Hart-street, when I saw a large crowd of people usisemulua Lki6vGli.ca . I what was the matter, and they said they did not know, but a man had gone to the hospital with a child in his arms. While I was waiting the prisoner came back, and I asked him what was the occasion of the disturbance ; and he replied, "My wife's poisoned herself, and I've been for the doctor." The last witness came up with him. I then went into one of the rooms and saw a woman lying on the bed. The doctor examined her and said, " She's not quite dead." I saw her gasp three or four times, and then she expired. I asked the prisoner what she had taken, and he said, "She has swallowed some of the chemicals I use in my trade." I asked in what trade he was, and he replied, " A galvanic plater." I also asked what he plated, when he answered, " I may as well tell you the truth. I'm a smasher. I trade in base coin." I then said, " When did you trade last ?" and he replied, "Last night. We both had been out together and came home about eight o'clock, after drinking at several public houses. When we got home we got fighting, and she scratched my face with a penknife (pointing to some marks). We had a great scuffle together, and both went down on the floor." There was a broken chair iu the room, he pointed to it, and said "That's the chair we fell upon. We both got up and went to bed, and at 10 o'clook I got up, leaving my wife on the bed. While I was washing myself in the front room, my wife shouted out, ' I feel sick.' I then ran into the room and took the bottle out of her hand." Prisoner—No ; I did not say I took it out of her hand. I said I took it from the side of the hed. Witne'is continued—He said, " I took it out of her hand and ran to the door." I asked him how she got the bottle and he said he did not know. Mr. Corrie—Did he say he took the bottle from off the bed ? Witness at first said said he took it out of her hand, but at the station that he took it off the bed. I found the bottle in the front room. On searching the place I discovered a quantity of blood splashed about, and also a flat iron, which was hanging up in the bed-room, and which appeared to have been used in the struggle. There is blood on the point of the iron. I showed it to the doctor, and he said the wound on the temple corresponded with the side of the iron. The prisoner was then taken to the station. Prisoner—l have only to say I took the bottle out of the bed. Mr. Corrie recalled Mr. Nugent, and asked him if he had compared the wound on the deceased's temple with the at iron. Mr. Nugent—The wound might have been produced by the flat iron, as it corresponded with it. Mr. Corrie (to the prisoner) Have you any question to put to the witness, as ho Dap. the wound on the temple might have been inflicted with the iron ? Prisoner—No. It wasn't done with that. The son of the prisoner, a little boy of 9 or 10 years of age, was then placed in the witness box to speak to a quar rel that had taken place between the prisoner and the de ceased the night before her death, but the magistrate thought that it was unnecessary at the present moment to examine the child. Elizabeth Guyon said the deceased was my sister. She was not married to the prisoner, although living with him. Her husband is still alive, but she had left him some time. Mr. Carrie—ls that all the evidence you have at present P Inspector Brimacombe—Yes, your worship. Mr. Corrie—Well, at present we don't know whether it was the blow or the poison that caused death. I shall there fore remand the prisoner until this day week, in order that a post mortem examination may be made. The prisoner was then removed from the dock. SCIE. 'ING Dr. Lu—el has published ten observations on small-pox, from which he concludes :---1. That vac cination is not a permanent preservative against varioliform eruptions ; 2. That, contrary to received opinions, varioloids are eminently contagious ; 3. That their eruptions are mild in the case of persons who have had the small-pox ; 4. That, according to the predispositions of subjects, the form of the eruptions varies from the varioloid type to that of the varicelia or chicken-pox with vesicular globules 5. That it is absolutely necessary to insulate indi ' viduals presenting varioloid eruptions, because the latter may communicate the small-pox to those who have not had it, or in whom the preservative power of vaccination is exhausted. A report published by Drs. Bourdon, Leconte, and Reveil on the pulverisation of liquids, that is, their artificial transformation into a kind of dew, confirms the fact that waters in that state will penetrate into the respiratory organs. Sulphureous sodo-calcareous waters, it adds, like those of the Eaux-Bonnes, lose a large proportion of their sul phureous principle by pulverisation ; and pulverised waters in general lose part of their temperature, but they adopt that of the ambient medium. Dr. Quadri, an Italian physician, has for several years past been treating the cataract with ammonia, and in many cases with remarkable success. The following instance is reported by him in the Gior nale Oftalmico Italian° :—A woman of 22, perceiv ing a diminution in her visual powers, consulted Dr Quadri, informing him at the same time that her mother, two of her brothers, and her sister had all been afflicted with the cataract. Her eyes presented a cortical opacity, which appeared greater at the circumference than towards the centre. Dr. Qaadri prescribed the daily application of liquid ammonia in a watch glass to the temples, and a few centi grams of hydrcchlorate of ammonia administered internally. After following this treatment for two Months, her eyes had so far improved as to enable her to resume her needle-work. The ophthalmo scope revealed ac the main° attic a diminution in the extent and density of the opacity. The patient con tinued this treatment for five years, during which the affection continued to diminish ; she left it off for a month, but was obliged to resume it at the end of that time, the infirmity having again gained ground; but her return to the old treatment was again attended with success. 1.10 112 90 92 'll6 118 112 114 104 106 1107 100 97 99 100 102 91 93 92 94 102 104 7,3 78 76 78 170 180 103 105 138 140 102 101 115 117 115 117 138 142 115 117 152 156 129 133 77 79 i N 95 14 144 124 126 68 70 iPm .38 140 [O3 105 94 96 110 112 108 110 1 ltpm [OO 102 96 98 li f d ar i p p 22i 23/ [35 140 10 11 23i 244 101 103 101 103 86 io 28 9 I l 2 i p 33 34 33 34 42 45 126 127 120 125 102 104 122 124 !119 122 COLONIAL GOVERNMENT SECURITIES. 1111 112 Can.

THE TRAGEDY ON LUDGATE IIILL.—Up to the hour of going to press nothing futther has transpired rela tive to the dreadful occurrence. The coroner's inquest, which is to be held at the London Coffee-house, is at pre sent fixed for Monday, but even that is dependent on the medical gentleman to whom the post morte2n examination has been confided. THE 4TH DRAGOON GUARDS.—We feel called upon to notice a current rumour with respect to the late court-martial which, if it be true—and it has obtained cre dence—is likely to perpetuate and increase the feelings of indignation which the proceedings brought to light in the Robinson case excited. It is said that the officers who gave evidence for the prisoner upon that occasion have been since exposed to a system of p ersecution as galling as e to endure. We have heard statements of harsh and unwar rantable censures pronounced upon them by the friends of the prosecutor, in presence of the soldiers, for very trivial causes, and fatigue duties put upon them almost as severe as the celebrated back-board exercise.— The Dublis Express. C OUR T MARTIAL UPON A VOLUNTEER OFFICER, the Earl of —Yesterday an inquiry , conducted by order of Sefton, lord-lieutenant of the county, was held at the Adelphi Hotel, Liverpool, into certain charges preferred by Major Tinley, who commands ono of the Volunteer regi an officer in his ments of the town, against Capt. Maxwell, corps. It appe ared that upon Major Tinley going out of town ho wrote to Captain Maxwell, requesting Maxwell him to take comm and in his absence, which Captain refused to do, as he had sent in his resignation to the colonel of the battalion to which he belonged, and therefore considered that until he rebeived a reply he was honourably debarred from acting. It was this refusal, together with non-com pliance with an order for attending drills, that formed the subject of inquiry, which the lord-lieutenant deemed of great importance to the service. Captain Maxwell, with muc h vigour and eloquence, yesterday defended himself before a court, which was composed of Lieutenant-Colonel (l G am ble, Majo r Mellor, and Ma j or Book (Volunteer offiebr .), Captain Maxwell, while vindicating os own honour and patriotism as a Volunteer officer, said vu that ho felt bound, in the peculiar position in which he stood, not to carry out the orders of Major Tinley, as when he re ceived those order s he was awaiting reply from Colonel Gladstone , the chief officer of the battalion, respecting his (Captain M axwell ' s ) i ntended resignation., esubmitted that no military offence had been committed by him in the present case ; and he felt confident that the result of the inquiry would not only be personally favourable to him, but such as would promote the good of the service. The inquiry then closed. The presiding officers will forwar d their report to the lord-lieutenant., 45 47 35 37 143 147 88 - 92 130 135 BRITISH MINES.

Norton, Tilby-gate, York ; Samuel Robertson, Church-street, Hackney, ironmonger; Wm. Johnson, Old Ship Hotel, Brighton ; and John Samuel Uich, 9, Robert-street, Chel sea, were charged with being drunk and disorderly in the Haymarket at three o'clock this morning, and getting a large crowd of prostitutes and thieves together. Wm, Fawbert, 108 E, proved seeing the prisoners drunk and riotous in the Haymarket at three o'clock this morning* lie requested them to go away quietly, when the four of them joined arm-in-arm and walked up the Haymarket, pushing against every person there, and causing the greatest disturbance, a large crowd collecting, Uich said he did not think there was any occasion to go into particulars, but was told by Mr. Knox that he diuuglit cutly. Brown, 128 C, proved taking Johnson into custody, while the others were taken by the first witness, and that all the prisoners were drunk at the time. Robertson said he had only been in company with the others a few minutes, but was not drunk. Mr. Knox—The officer swears you were. One of the other defendants said he certainly was " half screwed." Mr. Knox said it was really too bad for respectable per sons, as the prisoners all seemed to be, to go to the Hay market at such an hour among the lowest class of pe s rson in the metropolis and there get drunk and make a distur bance. He should fine them 20s. each or:three days. Elizabeth Collins and Ellen White, two prostitutes, were next charged with assaulting another prostitute in the Hay market about the same time, and committed for three months i sturbance in the each.

This operation, which had been postponed in consequence of the nervous state of the august patient, was perfectly successful. In less than three minutes the able surgeon removed or destroyed two large fragments of stone, and the terrible pain which the King had long endured ceased at once, as if by enchantment. He still remains at Laecken, by way of precaution, although it is hoped that Dr. Civiale's services will not again be re quired. Messrs.

THE .RAINBOTV OF THE COTENANT. I begin to wonder who was the first man to analyse the rainbow and arrive at a clear idea of the causes which combine in its production. The falling shower and the direct light of the sun or moon must, from the first unfolding of this won drous revelation, have been seen to be its primary elements. The allegory of the winds, in the 23d book of the Iliad, indicates more than a superficial knowledge of this grand phenomenon, and Virgil, in the tEneid, almost antedates the philosophy of Descartes and Newton, and Martial was not far from a scientific definition. Aristotle believed him self to be the first who had seen a lunar rainbow, the loveliest of all aerial spectacles, except on those rare occasions, when the aurora borealis displays its darting flushes ruby and emerald, amethyst, in this climate. But Pliny knew almost as much as we do about it—certainly as to its primal causes — as he expressed it, " Quod ergo iris sit refractio aspectus est ad solem manifestum est," and Plutarch cites it as an index of the knowledge of his time. Whatever may have been the thoughts of Adam, when the sunshine first reso lved into pris matic colours, in an arch expanding over the region of the happy garden, those of Noah might well be more profound, for the rainbow became a part of his life, and through him a pledge of divine mercy to the end of the world. " I do set my bow in the clouds"—marvellous utterance of a Father co derate of His children's feathers. Those words possess me, as I look out over the grey sky where the rainbow glowed a few minutes since, and they seem to me to have all the force of an authority for research into the mind of God, the mind o f man, and the ways of nature. The cause of the awful devastation of the globe is for ever rendered beautiful dutiful; the descending shower, which for forty days continued to submerge the offenders henceforth cease to inspire y me in listless against divine justice, seems to be woven into a robe of divers colours, and made pre-eminently beautiful, that they may dread. The fleecy clouds that held reverie half an hour since, and that are no w ae i. friends, n b osv t a t k h e a n t dim ming into ashy hues, seem to be impressed . with similar evanescence and unsubstantiality, th a t man may look upon them henceforth as his an ta r e And how once were the destroyers deep a hold has that p os t_ o d f u h u i v s i of the mind of man, It must fact we find cropping in out .be records of that g i e s, as in the carrying of of the rainbow-coloured the old mytholo- f a ns in the procession A nation of the rainbow and the dove in pis ; and the combi nation hiero glyphics and mythological rites. Bryant cites the names of the two attendants on Cleopata, Eiras, and Charmion, as the Rainbow and the Dove, as indica . ce, and bring dovm to a later in Egyptian history a remembrance of the circum stances under which the earth was again peopled. The rainbow was certainly the most renowned of A rkite emblems, and 1 know why Hesiod should designate it "The Great Oath," except through the prevailing power of a tradition, diving in its origin. As such, Homer knows it well, and, in accordance with established usage in the ancient world, he calls it, in a hymn to Selene, the sign and intima tion (of divine promise) to mortals. The appeal to it by the deity as something supericr to the secondary gods is characteristic of Hesiod, who describes Iris as the servant of Jove, who fetches from afar, in a golden cup, the waters of many names, making her the representative of covenant and of purification. Osiris entering the ark, Deuaalion reproving the lawlessn ess of the men of violence by whom he was surrounded, Nannacus m or '6 our i s e in the temple , ar e but versions of a history, of which the heaven s bear the best secular morial, a f te r the special and divine record g ivcn f edification. But did Noah understand the pur port of the rainbow, as a key to the mysteries of man's relations to the divine essence ? We know not, but it is a key for all that ; and herein we see how the discoveries of science lend help to theology, and indicate tr bo uths that lie at the foundation of all harmonies, th of matter and apirit.—llibberd's " 13rambles and Bay Leaves."

Into this cavern the Prince and his party passed to a considerable distance, a boat having been provided to cross the pool in the centre. Tho cavern was lighted up on the occasion by a number of candles. After leaving the cave his Royal Highness went to the residence of Augustus Smith, Esq., M.P., and walked for some time on the beautiful grounds. After the party left the grounds and gardens, Mr. Allen, the steward, had some choice flowers and vegetables sent on board the Vivid, with which his Royal Highness expresssed himself to be highly pleased and gratified. It was expected that the Prince, on Monday morning, would have landed at St. Metry's, but he did not; and the vessel having replenished her stock of coals and provisions, weighed anchor and left the harbour about noon on Monday. She arrived at Padstow on Monday night, and left the next morning for Lundy Island, or Bideford.— Western Morning News. KIDDERMINSTER ELECTION .—The retirement of Mr. Huddleston frcm the contest has brought into the field another candidate, who last evening appeared in the per son of Mr. Talbot, nephew of the Earl of Shres abury, who has large possessions in the neighbourhood of Kidder minster.

LONGEVITY.—The returns which have 'oeen issued for 1860 show that in that year 22 men died in Eng land and Wales who had reached or passed the age of 100, and 47 women. The oldest woman, 111 years, died in Glamorg,anshire. With the men there was a tie; a man aged 107 died in Hampshire, and another of the same ago in Pembrokeshire, Four of the centenarians died in London, two others at Camberwell, one also at Greenwich, and one at Lewisham. More men died in the year than women, but of the 595 persons who had reached the age of 95 or upwards before they died, nearly two-thirds were women, TROPHY OF THE ART-UNION OF LONDON IN THE NAVE.—The misused terra " trophy" may be safely applied to the beautiful collection of works of art set up on the north side of the nave by the Art-Union of London, for it is in truth a token of victories achieved. So far as we have seen, it has received no notice whatever as yet from those who, either officially or otherwise, are setting forth to the public the glorious contents of the Palace of Art ; probably because mention of it is altogether omitted in the catalogue and " plan of the main trophies ;" and yet we do not hesi tate to assert that, viewed with reference to the modern history of art in England, it is a collection of the i n terest and importance, second to none there.
