S rAmpED s`' .3 for wheat to-de. rior feasibility or adaptedeess ends; and, further, that the certain risk to which any such superterranean line would be exposed for at least 600 miles of its course to Basra more than turns the scale in favour of the Itei Sea line. Taking the Turkish post route, then, (ehich it is proposed to follow,) I our prepared to allow that the line from Scutari to Aleppo, across Asia Minor, would be tolerably secure. From Aleppo the post route runs through the Birejik, Diarbekir, Mat deen, Jezeerab, Mosul, and Bagdad, to Basra. According to Mr. An drews there would be no difficulty whatever in planting and securing the wires throughout the whole extent of that line, whereas the very reverse would be a nearer approximation to the truth. From Aleppo the post route borders upon the dee,ert or home of the Bedouins, and cases are rare when the post can traverse the dis tance even from Aleppo to Bagdad unaccompanied by an escort. Several instances of attack made upon the carrying tatar and his guards by the wandering Arabs, and the plunder of the post, took piece during my resi dence in Mesopotamia, and I am quite certain that the Bedouins t.f those districts are not, one whit more under control now than they wera 15 years ago. If any proof were needed on this head I have only to instance the irruption of the Aniza a f ew mon th s ago , an d th eir utter route of the Shammar, aided by the Turkish troop, in the vicinity of Mosul ; or, later still, the attack made upon Omar Pasha and his force by the Bedouins on his march towards Bagdad. True those affairs transpired on the right bank of the Tigris, but it is no less true that similar forays occur on the left bank ; and to such an extent was this the case about 20 years ago that the old direct hoe from Mosul to Bagdad was abandoned, and oue chosen about 60 miles nearer the hills, which neces sitates a long oetour, and which at the present date is frequently uatafe as well fur the pest as for the ordinary caravans. mulated in convenient places and suitable quail tities, and in every part of the vessel there is the promise of a speedy termination of those long-con filmed and costly labours, upon which so much anxious expectation has been bestowed, and upon which so much depends.. The directors, we be lieve, have made all arrangements for completing the subscription of the large sum of money which they still require to get the vessel ready for sea,and are not only at present awaiting the necessary powers from Parliament. To all "who can spare a few hours to view this modern monster of the deep, 'we would again strongly recommend the pleasure and satisfaction of a visit, which appears now, by universal consent, to have acquired a national interest.

As regularly as summer has come, that pleasant season for 10 long years has brought with it a pro gramme for the establishment by some enterprising individual or company of a line of vessels destined to try the great experiment of direct communica tion between the ports of Galway . and New Y ,, rk or Boston, according to the notions of the projectors. It is needless to remark that each and every pro jec':, has hitherto proved a complete abortion, but this year, the public are positively assured, the trial is to be made, and the statement of a Dublin ii,urnal of Saturday last is corroborated by the sub joined announcement, which appears in the Galway Mercury : " Galway has been frequently disappointed in her hopes of becoming united by steam-with the great Trans atlantic Republic ; but We are under the impression that her hopes of seeing that most desirable consummation are now upon the eve of being rea'ised. The very enterpris ing Mr. Lever has purchased a first-class steamer to ply between Galway and New York or B tston. A company has been already, we may say, formed for the purpose of seconding the intentions of Mr. Lever in this project, by which the interests of Galway will be so materially pro moted. The Midland Great Western Company will also come forward in aid of the undertaking, an undertaking which, if successful—and successful it must prove if properly managed—must greatly improve the resources of the company's line, as Galway will certainly, in the event of a first-rate steamer staring from this port for America, become the only point of departure for all emigrating from Ireland to America. The voyage can be made in about eight days, and the intended ar rangement is tbat the trips be fortnightly made. It is calculated that on her first trip this steamer will take out about 600 emigrant passengers, and that on her return she will take 1,000 bales of cotton, with a quantity of other American produce. These goods can be transported hence to the markets of Dublin and Liver pool. We have often said that Galway must exert her self if she woul f ascend in the scale c-f commerce, of trade, of manufactures, of wealth. An enterprising stranger has now led the way, and if the people of Gal way but aid him in carrying out his enterprise, there can be but little doubt that Galway yell soon be what she ought to have been long since, united with America by all the ties of interest, of commerce, and of trade ; and we are positive that if Galway make but a good beginning in this very important project, America will du all she can to aid the noble enterprise. Mr. Lever deserves well of Gal way, and we wish him every success in his • epirited undertaking." In the same paper there is this additional notifi cation : " Abbeville, May 20. " GENTLEMEN,—Figaro, in its number t.f May 6. in• serted an.article which was an insult to all the officer. of the army. In giving an account of a soird., this jeur nsl said,—` Remarkable Improvement.—The inevitable sub-lieutenant was not there,' &c. On reading this ar ticle, Courtiel, a sub-lieutenant of the 9,;13 Chasseurs, in gerriema at Amiens, addressed a letter to M. de Peas (the 'Nemo' of Figaro), the author of the artiele, daliing upon him for satisfaction f r the insult. Almost simul taneously M. Hyenne, an officer of the same regiment, in garrison at Abbey-11e, also sent a challenge to M. , e Pens. Nn answi , r was scut to either of these letters, but Figaro of the 13th coetaitied a second article, replying in coarse terms, to M. Courtie,'e letter. Thereupon this officer came to Paris, accompanied by his two seconds, M.M. Hyenne and Roge. The meeting between M. de Pens and M. Cuurtiel took place in Ves;net Wood. M. -Courtiel having received a wowed in the fore pert of his arm was compelled to renounce the combat, which had been ef very short duration (one minute). M. Hyenne then approaching M. de Pene, addressed him with the most perfect coolness, and the following dialogue oc curred also, sir, wrote to you on the subject of T cj y y l o e u t ter owe . m e Do yyootairraertnteicmleb, remember r n i d t 1, 1 , s ye ign s e , cl my l name sir, do.' Tto h satisfaction, and I demand it of you.' But it would be very difficult for me to fight with all the officers of the army.' You have insulted them all, and they have ell the right to force you to draw the sword." I refer to my seconds.' In this state of things the seconds having in timated their intention to leave the ground, M. Ilyenne urgently repeated his demand to fight M. de Pens, and that if a meeting were refused he should be under the painful necessity of insulting him. M. de Pene and his seconds continuing to refuse, M. .Elyenne, after a last entreaty, which produced no effect, used an insulting gesture (a chiquenaud) towards his adversary, who thereupon asked his secondS what be should de. They replied, You must fight.' But one of them objected that M. Hyenne ought not to be alio wed to measure swords with an adversary whose method of fighting he had just ha 4 an opportunity of studying. M. Hyenne, who had pistols about him, insisted that M. de Phae should choose the arm which he preferred. The sword was chosen, and M. de Pe :le received two wounds. We think it necessary to give you all the details of this double meeting, in order that your opinion may not be misled by reading the contradictory and malicious com ments of certain j mrnale. Fur instance, in. the Indus tricl of S'. Germain, which first gave an account of the duel, it was seated that M. Courtiel was wounded and M. Hy -lane thought fit to take up the effeir. Tais of telling the story is insulting a-d incorrect, for IV!. Hyenne did not avenge M. Courtiel, but the entire army. This is the proper place to insert in the most un equivocal manner that M. de Peoe was responsible for his article, not only to an individual but to a class. It, the Figaro programme of the 17th, M. de Villeinessaet, allusion to the energetic and calm intervention of M. Hyenne, calls it an 'indescribable scene.' He takes care to notice only the provocation, and passes over the entirely !Toper conduct of that officer. The army, which is such a good judge in affairs of honour, will ap preciate the facts. The officers of the cavalry and artil lery of the Guard, as well as those of the 84th regiment, have spontaneously assured me of their en.ire sympathy. Gentlemen, my desire is that the arrily, to whom the original insult was addressed, should know precisely io what way it was avenged.

Ea T it h o e r f o o f ll t o h w e i l n , g int l e e s tt :_ er has been addressed t o the Sir,—l am glen to see that the Times is insisting upon the paramount importance of establishing electric c_orn tman,s p u i nicat uu ion euw,s f ith av l o n h di a a h l without e r t de o l fa published, there is no ground whatever for hesitating as to which line is the most fea,ible. I perceive, neverthe less, r repot y h ; e and Red o Sea thathas been eap that Mr. W. P. Andrews sill holds for the route through Asiatic Turkey and the Persian Gulf, but his arguments in favour of the one and against the other are for the most part based upon very erroneous data, as I shall proceed to point out. With regard to the comparative length of the two routes, I readily admit that the proposed Pe rsian Gulf line is shorter by about 800 miles than that via the Red Sea—that is, if the distance between Malta and Alexandria is to be considered as form ing part of the latter ; for the distance between Alexandria and Bombay. or Kurrachee, is about equal to the distance between Constantinople and Kurrachee, supposing (as I understand the present project to con template) that the route from Cmstantinople as far as Basra is to follow the Turkish post road. Under these circumstances it becomes a matter of importance to de• termine whether the advantages offered by the Red Sea are sufficient to overbalance this one obvious considera tion in favour of the other route. All doubts respectiug the adaptation of the Red Sea for a submarine telegraph have been set at rest by the survey of Captain Pullen, and as no difficulties have ever been suggested in the. way of its extetelon from Aden, either to Bombay or Kurrachee, the Red Sea route as regards feasibility is unquestionably as avail able as that through Asiatic Turkey. But against the former Mr. Andrews argues, that the Arabs on the coast of the Red Sea are the most lawless of the inhab tents of the Turkish dominions, and would have us infer therefrom that the cable, wherever landed in As course to Aden, would be unsafe. This is a great mistake. The Arabs of the interior are, indeed, lawless enough, quite as much s o as the Bedouins, whc inhabit 600 miles of the country through which Mr. Andrews purposes to carry his telegraph ; and if the Red Sea scheme involved any such risk I should deem it as wild as I do his. But, in fact, the entire inhabited coast is in the bands of the Turk., who have garrisons located at all the principal ports and towns from Suez to Mokha. "The ends of the cable, and the persons in charge of it" would consequently be as safe at Yanbo, Jiddab, Lobel*, Hodelda, or Mokba, as the wires are at Stn z, and there is no reason to suppose that the Porte would offer any objections to a telegraphic station at either of those places ; on the contrary, I believe its consent has already been proffered and obtainee. But it may be found requisite or expedient to avoid the coast and to occupy some one or more of the islands between Suez and the Straits of Babel Mandeb ; and this possibility supplies Mr. Andrews with another objection against the Red Sea route, as necessitating our taking "military possession" of those points, and the conse quent expense and political embarrassments which such a ceurse would entail. But all this is pure fancy. Almost all the available islands are barren and uninha bited rocks, and possess no such importance as that which has been (in a very exaggerated degree) attributed t a Perim, and, consequently, there is not the least chance of any obstacle being raised by the Porte to our occupation of them as simple telegraphic stations. No garrison would be required for their protection, since the waters of the Red Sea are as free from piracy as the River Thames. I have resided in those parts for the last 12 years, and have been tolerably acquainted with the course of events there, and not one instance of plunder by sea has occurred during that period ; and now, more over, when no less than ten of our steamers traverse that route every month, such outrages are placed far beyond ' the bounds of probability. Having thus far disposed cf Mr. Andrews' objections, I proceed to notice his arguments in favour of the line • through Asiatic Turkey to Kurrachee by the Persian ' Gulf. That it is shorter by 800 miles I have already allowed ; but there, I maintain, every shadow of sups- Again, it may seem to convey some idea of the tem per and power of the Arabs, and of the impotence of the Turkish authorities in tho-e districts to repress their outrages and exactions, if I inform you that black mail is levied by them on every boat ascending or descend ' ing the Tigris. and Euphrates; and, though frequent cotnplaints on this head have, at the instance of British merchants at Bagdad, been addressed to the Portt, the imposition still exists, and will doubtless continue to exist, for the Porte is powerless to remove it. Even during the late Persian expedition every boat oad of supplies coming from Bagdad was subject to the same exaction, ands when resisted, th e b oa t s were d e• tained until the sum demanded was paid.. Under such circumstances what chance is there that these really law less Arabs will suffer a line of telesraph to traverse their independent domains? , The projectors of si.ch a scheme may rest assured that unless they themselves are pre pared to provide the protec:ion requisite .(which they certainly are not), the Arabs about the Euphrates and Tigris will steal their posts and wires, not so much out of spite or enmity (though that will not be wanting if the Turks are known to have any interest in them), as for the small intrinsic value of such petty booty. Against the connecting submarine line from Basra to Kurrachee there is nothing to urge, except, by the way, the possibility that some other station may be required whereon to land the cable besides the Indian navy coal ing station at Basiadore. That difficulty, however, which Mr. Andrews makes so much of in the Red Sea he thinks nothing of in connection with his favourite route via the Gulf. But why ? one may reasonably ask. Are any of the islacds in the Persian Gulf more our own than th , 83 in the Rsd Sea I Are they safer and less exposed to attack from pirates and freebooters? Or. would a station in the Red Sea ? Certainly not ; and yet Mr. Andrews assumes that to be a serious obstacle in the one case which he p'e.tses to regard rather as an advans tags in the other. I hope the above arguments will be fairly weighed, and if so weighed there can be no doubt which line will be adopted tfor telegraphic communication with India. To my own mind, indeed (and I have traversed the Red Sea six times, travelled over the greater part of Mr. Andrew's projected route four times, and have had as much personal experience with Arabs as any English man living), the question has been placed beyond dis pute siuce the publication of Captain Pulleu's despatch, and the same convic'ion must force itself upon every candid inquirer into the advantages of the tso routes now before the public.—l remain, yours, &0., GEORGE PERCY BADGER. St. Petersburg place, Bayswater, May 24. TBE LEVIATHAN. Though stilt very tar from bein g completed, this magnificent triumph of constructive skill offers an amount of interest to the visitor which we would recommend every one who his the opportunity to take immediately, by an actual inspection of its wonderful details. _ Availing themselves of the re cent arranger's& et fur viewing the monster ves sel, a largo number of f las yast,-rday went ou board her, and passed several hours in the examination of her several parts. The day was particularly propitious to the objects of such a visit, inasmuch as the ship, being free from work men, no impediment was occasioned either to the works on the one hand, or the movements of the visitors on the o her. The Leviatlis,n is still anchored off Deptford, almost exactly opposite the yard of Scott Russell and Co., from which she was launched, and the communication between her and the shore gave abundance of employment to the boatmen of Greenwich and Deptford during the better part of the day. Approaching her, the vidror immediately realises all the vastness and beauty of her proportions. Be t-veen her and the shore, at the distance of about 150 feet, is a small flotilla of steamers of the largest size, including the L - ttle Western ; yet these, large as they certainly are, instantly dwindle into com parative insignificance in the presence 1:f this monster of the deep. A counnolious staircase has been rigged out over the ship's side, by whi c h visitors can easily ascend to the deck, when they are admitted on producing the ticket issued by the Eastern Stram Navigasion Company for the pur pose. Having readied the deck, the visitoris lost in amazement and admiration at its enormous ex tent, the delightful promenade which it presents, and the commanding view which is had from it. As our readers will generally be aware, its dimensions from stem to stern are 760 feet, and be tween the paddle-boxes 83 feet. This vast apace is covered with iron plates, riveted together with amazing strength and neatness, and constituting a part of the cellular arrangement which, following out the mechanical principle which has proved so triumphantly successful in the Britannia tubular bridge, has been acted upon in building the Levia than. The hatchway s are not yet finished, and the larger ones being q uite uncovered, afford the visitor an excellent opportunity for inspecting the cellular snructure of the sides of the vessel, and of forming for himself some idea of her ainazng strength. Descending by temporary ladders iuto the fore and after holds, to about five or six feet above the low-water mark the cells are to be seen. The inner hull, or "skin," of the ship, as shipwrights term it, separated from the outside plates by an in . ersial of 2 feet 10 inches, is plainly percptible in these places, and the visitor h as to imag i ne that every six feet within the included space run longitudinal webs of iron-plate, which are again subdivided by transverse plates at the same distances. These plates are increased in tbickne;s towards the bottom of the s hip, and the distances bet wr en them is at the same time lessened ; th us the bottom of the s hip possesses greater strength than the upper part, obviously for the purpose of enabling it to support the superincumbent pressure, if it be necessary to ground her for rep airs. Among the other objects in the fore and after holds, which will also impress the visitor with the vast Magi of the ship, are the capstans for hauling in the ca bl es. As the monster takes with her ten anchors, and 800 fathoms of chain cable, it may be supposed that the mechanical contrivances for this purp ose are proportionally large. The visitor wi:l find, accordingly, that she has four capstans ferward and as many aft, one being placed on each deck. These capstans will be worked by small auxili try eng:nes, which, in addi tion to the stupendous machinery for driving the paddle-wheels and the screw -propeller, are to be provided for pumping, hoisting sails, and raising and lowering the twenty larg e b o ats, which will be kept on deck , and also the two 70-ton screw steamers, which will 134 carried on davits aft the paddle-box, to be used for emb ar ki ng an d landi ng passengers. The saloons and b ert h a on t h e severa l decks will be visited with great interest. The engines are in course of erecting, and a portion of the work is to be seen from the deck, but from there only, as visitors are not admitted into the engine rooms. Tuffs portion of the undertaking appears to be in course of execution in a manner worthy of 1 the great work of which it is to form so important a part, and when it is remembered that the engines will stand nearly 40 feet high, that each of the cylinders weighs 26 tons, and has a length of stroke of 14 feet, it will be understood that, when com pleted, they will form one of the moat stupendous works of art of which we have to boast. With respect to the general state of the vessel, it is only to be remarked that its appearance presents the usual indications of preparation. Materials, machinery, and implements of all kinds are accu• "Two memorials, most respectably and numerously signed, have been tran-mined from this town—one to his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant, the other to the Post•office—praying that the American mails be trans witted for one month by the first-rate steamship abuut to be started by Mr. Orrell Lever from this port t 3 New York or Boston in a few weeks. From the way in which this port has been treated by the English Govern ment in the packet station question we doubt much whe ther the memorials alluded to will meet with a favour able reception. However, it is well that the authorities have been applied to in the case. A refusal on their part will show how little Ireland has to expect from the Sax mG, vernment—whether Whig or Tory. Should the I r the memoria ;t 3be grAnteci,7all we have to say is that we shall be most agreeably surprise 1 , and at the same time most 'agreeably delighted.'" NEW -QUEEN'S COUNSEL.

The last returns show an increase in the circula tion, as compared with the preceding mouth, of 27,9491. Last month there was au increase of 39,2781., and in the preceding month one of 23,5121.; so that in the quarter, while the move ment has been all in one direct;on, the utmost variation does not reach 100,0001. In the coin held there is a decrease on the month, but an in crease on the quarter. The folloAng figures will show the position of of the Irish banks in the aggregate now and at the same period of the two preceding years : Four weeks ending Average Circulation. Average Coin held.

A Roman Catholic journal (the Cork Reporter) thus moralises upon the singular result of the lec , int election for the city of Limerick. What would Daniel O'Connell have thought of his old allies the priests spurning the advice of their bishop by successfully exerting their spiritual influence to drive an able and accomplished co-religionist from the field, and setting up as their political idol a Protestant gentleman, more than half-suspected of entertaining views the reverse of that much-abused term, Liberal : " The old warwhoops by which faction and fanaticism were lashed into madness have died away. It is not a novel spectacle to see Roman Catholic priests arrayed in opposing camps and fighting under adverse banners, but it is decidedly a new feature in the astonishing series of dissolving vie srs that Irish pelitics have presented to see a large section of a Catholic constituency, headed by their pastors, sustaining with all their energy a Protestant —an avowed Conservative—for his social claims as a fellow citizen and commercial position, in opposition to a Liberal, a Catholic, and the son of a distinguished Ca tholic judge, and a gentleman of acknowledged ability and experience. We are aware, indeed, that indepen dent of local or of personal considerations many other influences have been silently at work, inducing Irish constituencies to renounce old sectarian and party quarrels. The operation of the Encumbered Estates Court has made a more equal distribution of the soil among the professors of different creeds; but still more effectually the disruption of the great parties in Eugland, between whom, on foreign and domestic policy, the de marcation is so slight as to be almost imperceptible, has contributed to produce this result. Henceforward the brawling demagogue patriotism and mock religion, will find their occupation gone. A great deal bas been said of the 'coming man.'

THE WEATHER. Since the memorable storm, or typhoon rather, of ARril, 1850, Dublin • has not been visited by weather of such peculiar severity as was witnessed here yesterday. For nearly four hours the rain fell with but slight interruptions as though a water spout had burst overhead, the intervals being filled tip by the descent of hail showers which from their density almost darkened the air. Some of the hailstones were the size of small marbles, and did considerable damage in the smashing of windows ii i places exposed to the full fury of the storm. The wind all the while blew wildly from the north west, and it is feared that the fruit blossoms have suffered to a terrible extent. No thunder was heard during the day.

MR. RAREY'S 110 SE-TAMING. Amongst the numerous discoveries for which we are indebted to our trans-Atlantic kinsmen we know of none which okight to rank higher than the system of horse-taming introduced by Mr. Rarey. Hitherto our whole method of training the herse to the performance of those services that we rdquire has been b ised upon what is very aptly ter ued breaking. It would be impos sible to adopt a more signifieaut expressiou. We bleak the animal, it is true, but too frequently at the expense of his spirit, and courage, and goo I temper. The heavy bit, the punishing curb, and the cruel handling of the rough rider are the prin cipal means employed in nine cases out of ten. If occasionally they ere dispensed with it is because the horse is unusually quiet and tractable, or the breaker more than ordinarily kind and patient. Now, the defects of this mode of treatment are apparent. If We horse has naturally a vicious disposition we may temporarily subdue its manifestations, but we c-innot eradicate the animal's vice. If it he merely of a spirited nature we spoil its temper, either cow ing it and entirely destroying its mettle, or deve loping all its powers of obstinacy. Mr. Rarey pro ceeds on very different principles. He trains a horse as he would a rational being,. by appealing to its inte'ligence and affection. His experience, the result of many years of study and thoughtful observation, has taught him that where the treat ment is most cruel the horses are most vicious ; and his theory is based upon the belief that there is more of natural good than evil in the equine cha racter. His practice has so littl e i n it to exc i te astonishment, except its unvarying success, that those who witness it only wonder that it should have been left to the strong common sense of oee man in the 19th century to introduce it. We had the pleasure yesterday of attending one of Mr. Rarey's lessons at the Round House, when that gentleman gave a full explanation as Well as practical illus rations of his mode of "approaching, haltering, leading, bridling, saddling, and subdu ing horses." At the cemmencemeut he entirely dis c'aiwecl any supernatural or even extraordinary powers. He denied that there was any mesmeric influence in his touch, any fascination in his voice, or eye, or that theta was any trick of whispering or inhalation, such as we have heard imputed to horse-charmers of other times. He employed no drug or chemical agency. In short, there is no thing in his system which cannot be put into prac tice to-morrow by any of our readers possessed of ordinary nerves and a little experience in horse manship. Mr. Rarey's first patient was the notori ous Cruizer, the property of Lord Dorchester, whose vicious and untameable qualities have been so long known to the racing public. This horse was sent away from the Rawcliffe stud on account of his endangering the • lives of the men who had the care of him. He - would rear and kick for ten mi nutes together in his .futy,. and on one occasion snapped an iron bar, one inch thick, asunder with his teeth. Mr. Rarey himself confessed that " he would do more fighting in less time" than any horse he ever saw. Yet we witnessed this terror of the Rawcliffe stud, docile as a lamb, following Mr. Rarey at his bidding, and carrying a cap in his mouth, which he deposited at the. given signal in his tamer's hands. The second animal treated was a black mare, of a remarkably nervous tempera ment, which had defied all the efforts of her owner and groom to overcome her timidity and render her trac able. Under. Mr. Rarey's hands she never shrank from the severest tests, such as the beating of a drum at her back, enderneath her, and behind her, and the opening of an umbrella immediately in front of her. Mr. Rarey sat on her shoulders and on her quarters and knocked her hoofs together, the mare all the time lying perfectly quiet, or now and then lifting her head to regard the movements of the operator with a kind of listless curiosity. A zebra on which Mr. Rarey operated seems likely to give him a little more trouble than was expected, but that gentleman announces his intention of _ tak ing him in hand on his return from Set:Alan d ; and after his success with Cruizer, and th e equally s for midable Stafford, of the Emperor Napoleon stables, we cannot doubt that he will t e on a e ni day bring is as brute ' him under the yoke. At present h untameable a specimen of the creation as could be well found. Th e vicious way in which he chewed the huge woo his angry screams, and . the vigour lashed out, evince a spirit worthy with Mr. Rarey's master-mind. We cannot conclude . new system without exp f res h e , woolen bit inserted in his mouth, with which he of coping even our notice of the sinc , our conviction that to every breeder o or . ses, and to all who are concerned in their training and management, it will be found invaluable. Whether we regard it as a means of bringing, out the best q ualities of the horse, or of establishing a More humane treatment of this noble animal, we believe its adoption throughout the • country will e at tended with the greatest benefit. Even if i had • li been unattended by the speedy success which Mr. Rarey's pupils have universally achieved in ;their own experiments, its humanity would recomiLend Royal Marines. The column of troops on the right and of the batteries on the left advanced, halted, and perforrneda general salute. The Royal Artillery formed a hollow square, iu the cnitte of which were drawn up 41 non-commissioned officers aud gun ners, distinguished for long service and good con duct, to each of whom General Williams presented a medal. The bands of music were then called in, taking their posts at the head of- their respective corps, and the I3 , igade marched off the ground. Yesterday the troops of the line attached to the Ist battalion of infantry at Chatham were drawn up inside the Spur Batter; for.the'purpose Of wit nessing the carrying into effect of the sentence of a district court-martial on two privates of the 53d Regiment, named Philcox and Harris, each of whom was on Thursday last tried befor e a district court-filarial at Chatham Barracks, and found guilty—Philcox of having made use of highly in sultordinite language to Captain L. Sidebottom, the Adjutant of the battalion, in the presence of the troops assembled on the parade-ground, and Harris of having, while stationed with a detach ment at Eastbourne, been guilty of mutinous con- duct in assaulting the escort who had a prisoner in charge, and' endeavouring to cause him to: escape. The Court adjudged, each of the prisoners to re ceive 50 lashes, and also to undergo 84 days' impri sonment in Fort Clarence. Durii,g the infliction of the punishment, and while being tied up to the triangles, both prisoners appeared to treat the matter with the greatest bravado. Philcox has been several years in the service and boars a bad character, having been flogged on a previous occa sion ; Harris, who .is very young; has - only been a soldier a few months. The prisoners were re moved to the military hospital, and as soon as they are fit to be discharged from that establishment they will undergo the remaining portion of their punishment in the military prison at Rochester.. The tents for the troops belcieging to the 3d bat talion at Chatham garrison, under the command of Lieu`.- Col. C. E. Fairtlough, have been pitched insidO the fortiacatisns at Prince Edward's Bas tinr, closely contiguous to the bus. The officers and men belonging to the 94th depot have taken possession of them, in addition to which the 19th and 75th Regiments are, also to be en camped. On Friday last Major-Gen. .Sir Ja'. Chatter!on, commanding the cavalry brigade at Curragh Camp, made an inspection of the sth Royal Irish Lancers at Newbridge Barracks. The whole of the regiment were drawn up ou foot, with lances carried. Their appearance created universal approbation ; they formed in four squadrons numbering 130 men each, and all in unit*, rm. They marched past in slow and quick time, and no regiment of long standing could have done it more coirectly. On close column being formed Sir Jas. Chatterton addressed the re giment in gratifying and soldierlike terms, express ing his great astonishment at what he bad wit nessed, not having thought it possible that so much could have been done to make so magnificent a re giment in so short a time. The gallant general paid a well-deserved cmnpliment to the colonel of the regiment, and stated his opinion that the - sth Lancers had only to proceed as they had begun, and, that in a short time they would be second to no regiment of cavalry in her Majesty's service.
