Mit. CHARLES KENT'S NEW POEMS. Just published, DR EA M LAN D. With other Poems. By W. CHARLES KENT, Barrister-at-Law. Fcap. Svo., price ss. " The author of Dreamlan 1' and `Aletheti' has risen to a height so very close to the summit of geniis, that he may be commiserate , ' for h's inability to grapple with the last peaks of its elevation. There is abtlndance of talent, a delicate taste, au endless richness and diversity of image, topic, and illusion ; the landscape is most luxurious ; and the mns!c of verse excellent,"—Literary Budget. "Mr. Kent has undeniable merits—warm and high-toned feeling, a pleasant combination of grace and humour, and no small power to individualise. Pope at Twickenham is a cabinet picture. ' Marianne' will commend itself to all mothers by its gush of parental tenderness, and its acquaint ance with baby wiles and mysteries. `Fructidoe shows What Dutch fidelity of word Fainting the author can master when he tries. If is. fruit is as vivid and well characterised as if Lance had painted it."—Athenaeum. • - - - " The charm of Mr. Kent's poetry, as it is the first condi tion of success to all poets, is that he is in sympathy with his subject and not only with himself ; that he is truly poet and not egotist, Bnt it is by no means his only merit. He is a mas ter of versification. '1 he flow ou his verse is smooth and me lodious, and enriched with a copious and ornate vocabulary. `Shelley at Marlow' is a painting exquisitely delicate. The vision of Shelley with - which Mr. Kent presents us is almost perfect. 'DREAMLAND is a work Conceived in a noble spirit, and executed with scholarly taste, frequently with flashes of true poetic inspiration. the Dying Bridegroom' is distinguished by a genuine pathos, which leads us to be lieve that Mr. Kent would succeed eminently in some story of the affectior.."—The London Review. "Mr. Kent's poems come before the World with the advan , lage, not only of an author's name, but of a name already P.Lzreeab!y and musically known in the metrical literature of the day. His ‘Aletheile was very favourably received by the public, and has 110 doubt been the companion of many thoughtfhl readers who will gladly welcome another volume from his pen. A series of portraits drawn with true poetic sympathy and veneration, The best of all, we think, is that of Scott. There is something in the lines that will remind the reader of the chime of Scott's own verse."—John Bull. " Verses, many of them extremely tender ancL4rMonioua, and all indicating a mind carefully ctkltured ancliAftea with elegant tastes."--Dally News. " Poems of very considerable excellence. Pructidor 'is a very close and vigorous word-painting of an orchard. Mr. Kent's volume is healthy and vigorous in sentiment, correct in composition, and contains many happy touches of true fancy, very gracefully expressed."—The Critic. "The pictures hie Kent makes are carefully drawn and effectively coloured. His work is on the whole in good taste. It possesses the undeniable, yet, in these days, rare merit of intelligibility, and is, moreover, very readable."—The Art- World. "We like some of Mr. Kent's minor poems even better than 'Dreamland.' He is a real poet, unquestionably, and often versifies with extreme felicity. Of his poetic power the Monody on Lord Strangford ' affords ample proof : while his capacity to make word-music is shown in ' The Morris Dance! s.' "—The Press. "It was a conception worthy of a true poet to show the depth of his sympathy for the Great Masters of English Song, by devotin;r, the outpourings of his Muse to their special illustration. There is not one of the many pictures here collected which is not perfect in all its parts -whether we consider he sentiment by which it is inspired, the truth of the local colour, or the beauty of the setting. With a thorough appreciation of character, Mr. Kent combines an admirable descriptive power and a masterly command of most mellifluous verse, so that, while the mind is fully gratified, the senses—so to speak —are equally charmed."— Bentley's Miscellany.

In many instances, no doubt, the loans would be accepted with avidity and with the best intentions as regards repayment ; but it needs little acquaintance with the economy of,th'e factory operative to understand how such loans may ulti mately prove ruinously burdensome or directly de moralising to the borrower. The offer of a loan would in many cases tempt the borrower to under take a burden of future debt, from which he could escape only by either a humiliating forgiveness, or, perhaps, by years of painful effort. We hope the promoters of the Manchester scheme may reconsider it, and be led to the adoption of the same principle of judicious gratuitous relief which has been pro ductive of so much good inenr the poor and else- Whire." The guardians of the poor still find the ablebodied work for their relief in the shape of ex cavating on the moor and breaking stones. Mr. Farnall, the commissioner, advised them to relax the latter test in favour of many of the men and boys who are now subjected to it. He considered that their previous employment at the factories, and the state of their hands and health generally, tit:ea ter). them for such labour. This department however, mainly attended to by a guardian who re gards stonebreaking as the grandest ordeal in the world for a pauper, and he carries it out with the utmost rigour. There is no doubt that it finds out the lazy and the dissolute, but it is too hard upon the delicate boys and men of the factory, many of whose hands are blistered and irritated to a painful extent by the use of the h ammer. Each person is required to break a ton a day for the relief given , a task impossible to some`of them, who are not used to the occupation. The strictness of this regulation has led to an ingenious method of evasion, which has been carried on for some time. A number of the men, unwilling or unable to perform the g ivs" mea sure of work, have made a practice of deawing liberally on the general heap of stones already broken, and appropriating a portion as their oven stock, which was duly reckoned in the day's work and paid for. The vigilant guardian re ferred to above, suspecting the existence of this practice, set a policeman in plain clothes to watch, and on Friday two men were caught in the fact. The case is now under the consideration of the guardians. The relieving officers of the Union deny in the main charges brought against them by the Relief Committee of giving orders to the work house indiscriminately, knowing that the place was full, with a view of ridding themselves of the ap plicants. They are preparing a statement of the number of tickets given. On the other hand, the visitors and secretaries of the Relief Committee aro collecting as many of the orders as possible issued by the union officials during the last fortnight with a view of strengthening their case, and remonstrat ing with the guardians upon the impropriety of tolerating i peh a practice. It is essential that the truth of the matter should be known at once, and harmonious action established between these two bodies. The distress requires the co-operation of all parties to meet it.

Almost immediately after he had taken his place on the right side of the hustings, Mr. Banner Oakeley, attended by his committee, appeared on the other side. The Mayor, Mr. Peele, and several of the town officials followed, and took their places midway between the two candidates. They had hardly taken their places when a shout from the crowd below proclaimed that Mr. Atkins, the third candidate, had also arrived, his position being taken up in close proximity to Mr. Oakeley. Mr. V. R. CORBETT proposed Mr. Banner Oake ley to represent the borough in Parliament, which was seconded by Mr. A. S. CRAIG. Mr. CLEMENT proposed, and Mr. G. SALT se conded, Mr. Henry Robertson. Mr. OAKELEY then addressed the electors. With regard to the question of church rates, Mr. Robert- son had not said one single word ; and if the elec tors were satisfied with him, they must be satisfied with his silence. (Cheers.) For his own part, he would never give his vote for the total abolition of church rates—(hear, hear, and groans)—but he would be very glad to see this much-vexed ques tion settled by some judicious compromise. Mr. Robertson came before them as a supporter of Lord Palmerston's Government ; and, he would ask them, was that Government worthy of their support ? He had nothing to say against Lord Palmerston's individual character ; but some members of his Government were the most injurious and the most ruinous politicians that now exist. (Groans, and cheers.) What had that government done? When Lord Derby brought out a measure of reform, the whig party upset it, and they had never since brought forward a measure of their own on the great question of reform ; yet the liberals said the Con servatives were holding everything back. Carlyle had said that Conservatism was order without pro gress, and that liberalism was progress without order ; but he said conservatism was progress with order, for he was a progressive man. (Laughter.) He did not want to stand still, and would admit that the laws of fifty years ago were not suited for the present time; and fifty years hence they would require some further modification. He would refer to the extravagant and lavish expenditure of the present government, and the large amount of taxa tion under which the people were labouring. He had not seen any measure brought forward by any mem ber of the liberal government to relieve the people of that load. Mr. Hubbard had brought forward a motion to equalise the income tax—the tax most oppressive to all—and had asked the Go vernment to allow a committee to be formed to consider the best means of equalising this tax, which was almost certain to be a permanent bur den, but the Government defeated the whole plan, and left the income tax still with the people. (Cheers.) Mr. ROBERTSON next came forward, and was re ceived with great cheering. With regard to the foreign policy of the country he would say a few words. Were it not for the cotton famine occa sioned by the war in America, the country would be in a prosperous condition. (Hear.) He had ob served the conduct of the Government in this matter, and he thought that the only proper course that could be pursued was non-intervention; and therefore he was prepared to support the Govern ment of Lord Palmerston. But if Lord Derby were at the head of affairs, and brought forward a right down good measure, it would have his support. He thought, from his experience as a civil engi neer and as a commercial man, he should be in a position to watch the expenditure and to know where the money goes if they gave him a seat in Parliament. He looked round this country, and he saw that there was too much to protect ever to let the country be without proper defence. There were our wives, our children, our homes, our liberties, and all that the nation possesses to be protected ; but he hoped while they looked for such protection, and the expenditure to secure it, they would see that the right man was in the right place. (Loud Cheers.) He rejoiced that the civil service in India was now thrown open for competition by the talent of the country, and he hoped that there would be very fair play in making these appointments. (Cheers.) These were his destructive principles of which he had been accused. (Cheers.) If such were radicalism, he was a radical, but if, on the other hand, to love one's country and one's Queen, to stand up for the church, but at the same time to give every man freedom—(cheers) —if that was to be conservative —if to respect the conscience of every man was to be conservative, then he was a conser- THE WAR IN MONTENEGRO. vative. Mr. ATKINS then came forward, and addressed the people amidst a continuous roar of laughter. $e went on to state that his claims were as strong favour of as any of the other two candidates, because he was as long resident in the town as Mr. Robert son, and was as well as he at one time connected with a railway. As to Mr. Oakeley, he thought his claim was very slight, his only claim on the Shrewsbury electors being that he roadhd married a pretty woman whose father resided e town. A show of hands was then taken for Mr. Oake ley, when a considerable number was held up. On the, show being taken for Mr. Robertson and M r . Atkins, the number seemed to us so nearly alik e that we have some di ffi culty in saying wh o most. The mayor, however, decided in had Mr. Robertson. A poll was then demanded on behalf of M r , Oakeley. - An investigation was held on Friday night by Mr. G. S.

Niksich is situ ated with its back to the Montenegrin frontier, and is approached by the defile of Duga, which has twice proved so fatal to the Ottoman troops. whi c h co is at the same time a natural entrenched cam p n stantly menaces Gatzko, while at the same tune it will afford the Servians a basis for their future operations. On the other hand, the loss of Niksich has completely deranged the plans of Omar Pasha, who always had in view t he junction and combined action, for a time at least, of the Turkish armies in the Herzegovina and in the province of Albania; The road across th e Alontenegrin territory from Spuz to Niksich is the shortest. Water is plentiful o n the passage , an d the road isless difficult than in any other pa rt of the principality. Omar Pasha wished, as it Were, to cut Montenegro in two parts, so that anothe r Turkish cor p s might take the south ern part, which is the heart of tlie country, in re verse. I The loss of Niksich has completely deranged that clever plan. Continual supplies of men and money are arriving at Scutari. There are eight pashas at this moment in that town, and among them is Abdi Pasha, who a few months since fled from thence like a criminal to explain his conduct at Constantinople. The operations of the Monte negrins in Albania were intended to facilitate this landing of the volunteers, who were expected froub foreign countries. It now serves to prevent Albania front being, as hitherto, a nursery of Bashi-Bazouks. Numerous emissaries are travelling through the mountains, preaching fraternity with the sieves-- the re-establshment of the Albanian kingdom (Greco-Slave), and, as a consequence, a crusade against the Turks. If in their march towards the north the Montenegrins are not beaten by the natives they will shortly form a junction with the Servians. Omar Pasha is displaying the greatest activity. He visits the frontiers, reviews the troops, reorganises the . military administration, and care fully provides for the wants of his army, whos? strength is increasing every day.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 2, 1862. SUSPICIOUS DEATH OF A LADY IN THE REGENTS CANAL, On Saturday an investigation was held at the Rose and Crown Tavern, Cambridge-street, South Hackney, by Mr. H. R. Walthew, the deputy coro near for East Middlesex, touching the death of a lady unknown, apparently about 40 years of age. Mr. E. Hulse, 2, Park-place, coffeehouse keeper, said that a little before 10 o'clock on Monday night a gentleman rushed into his shop in a most excited state, vociferating that a female was in the water and wanted to be got out. Witness had since been informed that the gentleman was a lunatic, and had been but recently liberated from an asylum. Wit ness went to the banks of the canal, and saw de ceased struggling in the water under the bridge, when he gave an alarm and she was brought on shore by, means of the drags. She was still alive, and did-not appear to have been five minutes in the water altogether. A doctor was sent for, and she was brought to the Rose and Crown, and on the way she gave a groan and expired. She was very respectably dressed, and seemed to be about 50 years old. Witness lost sight of the gentleman above mentioned, and did not know where he could be found. A policeman said that deceased was a highly re spectable-looking person, attired iu a black silk bonnet, black dress, and kid leather boots. In her pocket he found ls. 4d., and two packages of poi son ; one package was labelled " Sugar of lead — poison, Dudley W. Smith, Southampton-street, Camberwell," and the other" Oxalic acid—poison." Though a full description had been circulated over the metropolis no clue had been obtained to her identification. ''PlieVoronei said-that it would be most important to have the gentleman spoken of by the first witness produced, so as to ascertain under what circum stances deceased came into the water. _ _ _ Another policeman said that the police had been unable to trace that individual, but from the in quiries instituted it was fouud that he had been for some years an inmate of tho Colney -hatch Lunatic Asylum, and that his present condition was such that his evidence would be wholly useless. The jury returned a verdict " That the deceased was found dying in the Regent's Canal, but by what means she came into the said canal there was no evidence to show." FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT AT BILSTON. We are now enabled to give further particulars of the fatal colliery accident by which seven men and boys lost their lives than we were on Saturday. It appears that four men and three boys were en gaged at the Bradley Colliery, of Messrs. G. B Thorneycroft and Co., making a communication be tween the engine-pit of the colliery, and a pit in the thick coal seam. The object in view was to make a water level to draw off into the engine pit a large accumulation of water in the thick coal before de scribed, and which was at a higher level than the engine-pit. The men had proceeded in their work to within about 15 feet of the water, when it burst in upon them in great force. They wore driven before it to the shaft, by which they descended a distance of about 70 yards, and shouted for the tackle to be sant down. The butty of the pit, who had just ascended, made instant preparations to comply with their re quest, but before the skip could be got down to the point at which they raised the alarm the weight and force of the rushing water had destroyed the scaf folding which here spanned the shaft, and forced the poor fellows into the water beneath. As soon as the two pumping engines, which were at once put on in full work, had drawn off sufficient water, Harvey, the manager, descended, and, ac companied by other two men, found two of the de ceased driven by the force of the liberated water into the " inset" at the bottom of the engine pit, some 200 yards from the place where they were at work when the water broke in upon them. They were by that time quite dead. The remaining five bodies had not bee❑ recovered up to ten o'clock on Friday night. All the water, however, had been pumped out, but the debris had so far interfered with the easy moving of the working parties, that the bodies could not, it was feared, be reached be fore Saturday morning. When the water broke in upon the deceased about 40 men were working some distance off in the thin mine coal. Their pit being connected with the engine pit, the rear of water could be distinctly heard in the thin coal, and the men became greatly alarmed, but they had the means of escape in several directions, as indeed had the deceased, if the water had not gained upon them with fatal rapidity. Even if the 40 men in question had not had the facilities for escape which they pos sessed the water in the thick coal was not sufficient to render their position hazardous. The deceased are Thomas Dunning, aged 48, mar ried (the " doggy" of the pit), and his son Isaac, aged 12 ; Charles Deakin, aged 22 ; Joseph IN ilks, married, and having four children; Samuel Speed, 20; Frederick Cound, 15; and Wm. Schofield. The bodies recovered were those of Speed and the boy Dunning. It was not known at the colliery on Friday night whether Speed was married ; but the " doggy," in addition to his son who was killed with him, had three children. Captain Thorneycroft, who at the time of the ac cident was on the magistrate's bench at Bilston, was at the colliery within an hour after the occurrence happened, and he remained there the greater part of the night, as did also Mr. Hartley and another member of the firm, with Mr. Baker, the Govern ment inspector, and Mr. Smallman, mining engi neer to Messrs. Thorneycroft. By the last-named two gentlemen the efforts of the working parties were directed. Much consternation naturally prevailed in and around Bilston. and the pit banks at the colliery were crowded during most of the evening, notwith standing the heavy rain ; but the police, under Superintendent M'Crea, kept the public from im peding the operations. SUICIDE THROUGH ALLEGED CRUELTY BY A HUSBAND. square. Several relatives of the deceased gave evidence from whose statement it appeared she had been twice married, and that for the last two years she had threatened to commit suicide, being ac tuated thereto by her husband's cruelty. On the 22d inst., she was turned out of doors, but by the advice of her friends she was prevailed on to return home, accompanied by her son by the former 1 marriage, and he remained with her in the house till the following morning. Daring the night the husband ill-used her, and kicked her on the leg. She watched her opportunity on the following morning (Friday), and left the house, with a deter mination never to return, and went to the house of her sister, by marriage, 42, Charlotte-street, in the above-mentioned locality. She seemed depressed in mind, and recurred to the cruelty she had expe rienced, and said if anything happened to her she hoped they would take her to some infirmary. The next morning (Saturday) she was seen with a tea cup in her hand, and shortly afterwards was found in her bedroom lying on the bed, with her feet on the floor, insensible. Medical assistance was called in, but life was extinct. Subsequently, a tea cup was found under the bed, which on analysis proved to have contained oxalic acid. The husband was sent for, and be said, " Oh, she has been poisoned." Mr. R. Lamb, of the Cale donian-road, made apost mortem examination, and from the inflamed the state of the stomach and oesophagus, was convinced she had been poisoned. The contents of the stomach on analysation showed that half an ounce of oxalic acid had been adminis tered. Externally there was no bruise on the leg, Tho Jury regretted the facility afforded for ob taining poison, with which the deputy coroner agreed, and said, with the exception of arsenic, should take corrosive sublimate, prussic acid, in fact all other poisons were readily obtainable.

The Shannon, screw frigate, Capt. Wainwright, resumed her experimental screw trials at Ports mouth, with a screw of four blades fixed at equi distant intervals round a sphere or boss, similar in character a° the Griffiths boss, having a diameter of 18ft and a pitch of 23ft 10in. The blades were cast from patterns of the blades of the Mangin screw, which vas tried on the 17th of May last. The screw tried yesterday and the Mangin had therefore the same number of blades differently disposed. The blades of the Mangin, instead of being distributed round the circumference of the boss as in the case of the screw tried on Saturday, had one set of blades set behind the other, and thus retained the principle of a lifting screw, which the one tested on Saturday necessarily was not. It requires a less aperture or well in the ship's stern than our common Admiralty screw for lifting it when putting the ship under sail. From the proximity of the Mangin's sets of blades to each other, the distance being only about 30in, the ,water became "locked" between them when working at full speed of the engines, and caused an excessive vibration throughout the ship. The ship left flip harbour at 11 a.m., drawing the same depth of Water as on her last trial-20ft 3ba forward, and 21ft 9in aft. The weather, like that experienced on the three preceding trials, was as favourable as it could possibly be for developing the powers. of a screw.: On clearing the Spit buoy the ship made a stretch (k - at to the southward as far as the Warner Light vessel to clear her fires and make all ready below for the runs at the mile. On reaching the Light vessel the ship's head was brought round and laid for the trial ground in Stokes Bay, where six runs were made. The following were the re sults :—First run—time, 5 min 4 sec ; speed, 11.481; revolutions, 53. Second run—time, 5 min 32 sec ; speed, 10 843 ; revolutions, 521. Third run— time, 4 min 48 sec; speed, 12 . 500 ; revolutions, 531. Fourth run—time, 5 min 30 sec ; speed, 10.286 ; re volutions, 54. Fifth run—time, 4 min 36 sec ; speed, 13.043; revolutions, 531. Sixth run—time, 5 min 54 sec ; speed, 10.169 ; revolutions, 531. The mean speed of the 6 six tuns was 11'553 k n ots. In ethorenterris cut, on o t n the commonheth of iv screw, i with its leading ay, a speed of 11 . 288 knots was realised with a maximum of engine re volutions of 591. In the second trial, on the 17th, with the Mangin, the speed was 11.331 knots, with a maximum of engine revolutions of 531. The third trial was made with the common screw, having both leading and following corners cut, and gave a of engine re volutions of lutions l o l;o s 6 4 2 . k T n h o e ts io a u n r d maximum fourth trial is the present one, which, it will be seen by a reference to the figures quoted, is so far the first in point of speed. The runs being concluded, the time in which she made a complete circle, both to port and starboard, was nex t which taken. was The done Was first hove over to port, and a-half turns of the whe el, and with the rudder helm to one at an angle of 13 deg in 29 sec. The first half of the circle was made in 3 min and 29 sec, and the full circle completed in 7 min. 12 sec. The helm was next hove to starboard, with one and a-half turns of the wheel, and the same angle of rudder obtained in 43 sec. The half circle was then made in 3 min 41 sec, and the full circle in 7 min 50 sec. There was here a difference in time of 14 sec in get ting the rudder over to the same angle in going round to port' and starboard, and a difference of 32 sec in making the two circles. The peculiar action of the screw observed on Saturday may have some thing to do with this difference in time, it raising a ridge of water across the ship's stern from port to starboard to a height of about 12 inches above the ship's line of copper, with, of course, a following current in the same direction over the screw. There was an almost total absence of any vibration, how ever, and a remarkably small rise of water in the screw well. The beat of the screw, which was so marked a feature of the Mangin screw, could not be detected in any part of the present trial ; its action in revolving through the water being apparently perfectly continuous and equable. The column of water discharged astern of the ship by the screw was also less spread than is usually the case, and confined nearly to a line with the ship's course. The slip of the screw was also much less than either of the three preceding ones being only about two knots. The trial altogether proved to be of a very impor tant character, and will possibly be the most suc cessful on all points of the intended series, as no such favourable results are expected from the next and last trial, which has to be made with the addi tion of two blades. Now that the trials have, how ever, been carried so far, it would be a groat oppor tunity lost not to carry them a little further, and close them with a trial of our acknowledged best screw—the Griffiths with two and four blades. The results to be gained by trying the Griffiths under the same circumstances as the Mangin and the Ad miralty screw would be of the greatest importance in the consideration of the screw question, and could not but add materially to the knowledge we already possess on the subject. The Vesuvius, 6, paddle, Commander IL G. Dou glas, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from Woolwich on her way to the North American and West India station. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steamvessel Banshee, Commander Madden, was on Saturday put out of commission at Woolwich for repairs, and the crew paid off. The Worcester, 50, having been lent to the Marine Society as a training ship, has been received at Green .% icb, and will be moored at that station. The sister shipWarspite is about to be handed over to the society to replace the Venus at Woolwich. The Worcester, it appears has been fitted in every department by the Admiralty for the society's use, and will be imme diately available for the service, while the Warspito, it is ,stated, will have to undergo some extensive alterations and repairs at th© exclusive cost of the society, the Admiralty having declined the respon sibility of any further expenditure or outlay on the society's training ships, further than is requisite for their removal. The screw corvette Racoon, 21, 400-horse power, having stripped her lower masts, was on Saturday afternoon removed from her berth in Chatham har bour, and placed in No. 3 dock, where she will complete fitting for commission. She is expected to be ready in the course of a month or six weeks. During the time she has been in the hands of the shipwrights' department she has undergone a com plete overhaul and repair. In order to strengthen her sternpost and to lessen the vibration from the working of the screw, gun-metal knees have been placed at the rudder-post, similar to those fitted on board other steamers. Her planking, to a consider able extent, has been removed, and her faulty and defective timbers made good, in addition to which a great deal of the planking of both her decks has been ripped up. In consequence of the slow delivery of the armour plates and other portions of the irouwork and ma chinery for the Royal Oak, 51, at Chatham, orders have been received from the Controller of the Navy directing 80 of the hands to bo withdrawn from that frigate and placed on the Pylades, 21, 400- power, under repair in the fourth dock. This will leave about 500 hands, of various trades, still to complete which no em ployedexe on rtionsatrhee beingßoyalspOaakred by the heads of the various departments, although their efforts are in a measure paralyzed by the delays have arisen in building and preparing the factory for converting the slabs of iron into the armour plates for the ship. The Royal Oak has been ready some weeks for her iron coating, but up till now only some two or three plates have been affixed to her sides. The delay has arisen entirely from care not having been taken to have everything prepared for proceeding with the plating of the frigate as soon as she was suffi ciently advanced to allow of this being dene. UP to Saturday several of the ponderous machines for preparing the plates remained on the space ing the slip, and were being put together by the workmen sent from Messrs. r airbairn and Co., Smith and Co, and other firms in Leedst but, un less care be taken, the machines will suffer injury from their exposure, owing to the space not being yet covered in. Among the machinery in course of erection is the largest "slotting" machine ever con structed for splitting the iron armour-plates, toge ther with two correspondingly large planing ma chines, as well as machinery for drilling, pressing, Sze., the plates. On Saturday a number of the large armour plates, each weighing four tons, were landed at Chatham dockyard from the Thames Iron works Company, who have entered into a contract to supply the plates for the Royal Oak. The cost of each armour plate is about £l3O, exclusive of the cost of preparing and fixing. Orders were on Saturday received at Chatham dockard from the Admiralty, directing no more hands to be entered at that esteblishment to fill up vacancies, excepting in the case of those for the iron frigate Achilles, 50. The Norwegian screw corvette Nornen, 20 guns, Capt. Smith, arrived at Spithead on Saturday morn ing, 12 days fi om the Chesapeake, bringing a mail from her Majesty's ship Orlando, which was landed and forwarded to London by the evening train. The Nornen will remain at Spithead until about Wed nesday next. His Prussian Majesty's brig Hela, 6 guns, Com mander Klatt, arrived at Spithead last evening from the westward. She left Lisbon on the 14th and Vigo on the 23d of May. She experienced fine weather and calms the whole voyage. Sbe spoke yesterday, under St. Alban's Head, the Hamburg ship Franklin, from Hamburg, bound westward. The following appointments were made on Satur day at the Admiralty :—Doyle M. Shaw, surgeon, to the Medea; and John Elliott, surgeon addi tional, to the Nile. THE ARMY. Several hundred men selected from the depots of the East India regiments at Chatham have been ordered to be placed under canvass during the re mainder of the summer, the tents which they will occupy having been erected by a party of infantry, assisted by the Royal Engineers. The experience of the past few years has proved that the percentage of sickness among troops under canvass is less than among those occupying the barracks. The headquarters of the 55th Regiment, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Hume, consisting of 2 field officers, 3 captains, 10 subalterns, 5 staff, 28 sergeants, 16 drummers, 24 corporals, and 462 pri vates, with 61 women and 111 children, disembarked from the Megrera screw troopship at the South Jetty of Portsmouth dockyard on Saturday, and marched into quarters in the Portsmouth garrison. The Megtera embarks to-day the remainder of the 2d battalion 18th Regiment, comprising 12 officers, 314 men, 23 women, and 32 children, and two batte ries of Royal Artillery, comprising 10 officers, 234 men, 23 women, and 32 children, for conveyance to Alderney. She returns thence to Portsmouth with the remainder of the 55th Regiment and the two batteries of relieved Artillery. Mr. G. Tyrell, of Great Yarmouth, has obtained a contract for the erection of a fort at Bembridge town, Isle of Wight. The amount of the contract is £40,000. Mr. Tyrell has just completed a re doubt at Harwich. The strength of the force now stationed at Col chester does not exceed 1,600 rank and file, and the approaching departure of draughts for India will further reduce the numbers at the camp to 1,200. A large portion of the huts are consequently now unoccupied. A draught of 50 rank and file, with four officers from the depot of the Gth Regiment, left the camp on Saturday for Gosport, to reinforce the Ist battalion of the regiment, which after 15 years' service in India has been much reduced in strength. THE VOLUNTEERS, NORTII MIDDLESEX RIFLES.—On Saturday evening there was a grand muster of the 29th, or North Middlesex Rifles at the Albany-street Bar racks, for the purpose of affording Viscount Enfield, M.P., who had been promoted to the rank of hon. colonel, to introduce to the regiment the newly-appointed Lieut. Colonel (late Major) White head, of the Victoria Rifles. The regiment having been formed into square, nearly every one of the officers also being present, Viscount Enfield, M.P., said he had very great pleasure in introducing Lieut. Colonel Whitehead to the 29th, because they would find in him a first-rate military and field officer. Colonel Whitehead had served in the 7th and 47th Regiments, and was, therefore, well acquainted with military duties. Lieut. Colonel Whitehead said it was with feelings of the greatest pride he took the command of the 29th (North Middlesex) Rifles, and he thanked Lord Enfield for the very flattering manner in which he had introduced him to the regiment. The regiment then marched out under command of its new lieutenant colonel, assisted by Major Peters and Capt. Goode. FIELD DAY OF VOLUNTEERS IN RICHMOND PARK.—On Saturday afternoon the second of the series of brigade field days of metropolitan volun teers, under the command of Col. M'Murdo, inspec tor general of volunteers, took place in Richmond Park. The corps engaged on this occasion were, with the exception and addition of the Hon. Artil lery Company, under the command of Lord Colville and Major Robinson, and the 19th Middlesex (Working Men's College), under command of Lieut. Colonel Bathurst, nearly the same as those engaged on Saturday week on Epsom Downs—viz., the Queen's, under Lord Grosvenor and Gerald Fitz gerald ; the London Brigade, under Col. Ward ; the London Scottish, under Lord Elcho ; and the Artists, under Captains Phillips and Lewis ; in all about 2,000 men. The corps were formed into six battalions, and went through a variety of brigade movements and light infantry and skirmishing drill, firing by sections from the right of companies, file and volley firing, forming squares to receive cavalry, &c., and the whole of the evolutions were not com pleted till dark had set in. Col. M'Murdo compli mented the commanding officers of the various regi ments on the way their men had performed the re spective tasks allotted to them, and the corps marched to the station for town. THE GOVERNMENT AND VOLUNTEER CLOTHING. —The War Office has issued a circular to com mandingthat the Government will issue the following uniforms to the respective corps of blue, and the Govern or officers of volunteer corps, hoiltoitmhatifnogr colours, viz., scarlet, green, issued on the responsibih officer at cost price, with 5 per cent. for m expenses, Commons. This is as stated stated in the House of boon subject e r c a t t i h n e t a s detail draw b a a u ck d the volunteer service ; but a r dered a great boon to went grey, or rather dr.atyb.'o'f The coloothmisantodinbge the the operation will than otherwise, for the Government offer to the 'volunteers cloth at a price which a contractor to a volunteer purchases his cloth from his commanding corps could buy as cheap if not cheaper. When the little considelriatmioankoof officer he takes it to his tailor (who looks at the job with a jealous eye and discontented spirit) and inquires the price for m a ki ng up. He is informed that the price for making up their o wn materials will be considered more than if he had supplied the cloth, for his profits consist more in the economy and management of cutting a large piece of cloth for many suits than in the simple profit on wages paid to journeymen tailors. LONDON IRISH.—This corps assembled at Somer set House on Saturday evening, where they were inspected by the Marquis of Donegal, the c olonel commanding. The number consisted of six com panies.
