GROSSMITH'S, 85, New gate-street, London. unfavourable circumstances, connected with an appearance of a tightness in the money: market, produced the quietness which prevails just now in the piece and yarn market. Prices began to fall off again both for goods and yarns, and the reasons that we explained in our previous reports pre sent the future prospects•ss rather uncertain and unfavour able. The stocks of piece goods in first and second hands are still heavy and the supplies on the way from England too large, and unless a very brisk consumption shall be manifested we cannot expect any great improvement in this market. Metals—Copper sheathing remains steady in demand at about 45rs. to 45rs. 4an. per mautid. Joint-stock Shares—The intervention of holydays since our last has retarded business, but some transactions have taken place in India General shares and Bonded Ware house stock at our quotations. Ganges shares aro in less favour, o wing to the comparative smallness of the dividend declared ; the scrip of this company is to be divided into three, thus making the shares 500 r. each, instead of 1,500 r. Dock shares are inquired for at quotations, and steam tugs are now saleable at 650 r In Gas and Auction shares there is nothing doing. Government Securities.—The value of the 5f and 6 per Cents. has been maintained at previous rates, say 95 and 90 ; a considerable amount of both had been taken out of the market for European account. The 4 per Cents. are neglected, and the value is nominal. The purchases for Europe appear to have little effect for the present on prices, and sales are readily made. Exchange.—The rates on London have kept steady at from 2s. op. to 2s. Old., and 2s. Old& to 2s. Old., for credits. Documentary continues in limited supply, and has been taken freely at 2s. Oid. The arrival of the China mail yes; terday has given the market an upward tendency, and we look for higer rates by the next mail. Freights.—There has been a slight dullness since the de parture of last mail in the freight market, and rates to Lon don and Liverpool, as also to Mauritius, have receded a little, which is £2 . for London, 15s. for Liverpool, and 1.2 rupees a bag for Mauritius ; to all other ports and places there has not been any alteration. TILE AUSIRAL lAA - AND BuMBAY TAILS. .The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Ripon, Capt. J. S. Field, arrived at Southamp ton yesterday morning with the heavy portion of the mails from Bombay, Australia, New Zealand, B:c., in charge of Messrs. Casson and Lea, of the General Post-office. She left Alexandria on the 30th ult., Malta the 4th inst., and Gibraltar the 9th, and had variable weather during the voyage. The Ripon brought 100 passengers, of whom 38 were first-class, 22 second, 29 deck, and •11 chil dren ; and on freight £1,671 in specie, gold dust value £l3,lsB—total• value, £14,829 ; also 1,205 bales of silk, and a general cargo. On the 10th inst., the Ripon passed the company's steamer Delta off Cape Espichel, steering to the southward ; and on the 13th, off Ushant, the Pere, both outward bound. Her Majesty's ships Renown, Racoon, Banshee, Caradoc, and Wanderer were at Malta. At Gibraltar were her Majesty's ship Marl borough, Cadmus, Doris, Lapwing, Scylla, Orion, Neptune, and Caesar. Her Majesty's steam. sloop Mohawk, Commander M'Dougall, arrived at Gibraltar on tho Ist inst., six days from Plymouth. The gunboat Vigilant, Capt. Armitage, from Malta, arrived at Gibraltar on the sth, laden with condemned stores, and bound for Spithead. She was obliged, through stress of weather, to put into Algiers, where she took in .30 tons of coal. The Vigilant put to sea again on the 6th. The steam sloop Firebrand, Coamiander Bruce, arrived at Gibraltar ,on the 6th; i 11 days from Falmouth ; she had a steam dredger in tow for service at Malta, and, after coaling, re sumed her voyage with the dredger. The Turkish steamer Sinope, Capt. R. Driver, 10 days from Southampton, with coals for Constan tinople, arrived at Gibraltar on the 6th. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship China, Captain N. Cook, from Southampton on the 27th ult., arrived at Gibraltar on the 3d inst., and proceeded to Malta and Alexandria. She had experienced very bad weather. The following British merchant steamers had arrived at Gibraltar :—Nov. 30, the Thessalia, Cap tain R. 1?lim, six and a half days from Liverpool, with general'eargo for Gibraltar, Malta, and Alex andria; same day, the Gibraltar, Captain W. G, S. Hall, ten days fram London and three from Corunna, with bullocks, Government stores, &c. ; Dec. 3, the Palestine, Captain H. Dubbins, seven days from Liverpool, with general cargo for Malta and Alexandria ; 7th, the Tweedside, Captain C. S. Suckling, eight and a half days from London, with telegraph wire for Algesiras ; same day, the Hutton Chaytor, Captain W. Morrison, 13 days from Liverpool and seven from Cork, with railway carriages for Barcelona. The Tweedside, having on board the submarine electric telegraph cable which is to connect Ceuta with Algesiras, arrived at Gibraltar on the morning of the 7th from London. Messrs. George, John, and James Hamilton, telegraph engineers, with nine men to assist in paying out the cable, were on board the Tweedside. The laying down of the wire was to eommence forthwith. The British brig Margaret, Captain F. Jefferson, 40 days from Newcastle and 14 from Portsmouth, with coals for Gibraltar, arrived at the latter port on the 2d: She had experienced heavy weather, and lost bulwarks and head rails. The Austrian brig Giovanni Leopoldo, in enter ing Gibraltar Bay on the afternoon of the 4th, missed stays and grounded near Punta Mala at low water; she floated off at high tide during the night. The Norwegian barque Falken, 0. J. Rod mas ter, from Alexandria with barley, bound to Cork or Falmouth, went aground on the night of the 4th when entering the bay, near the second river. She remained on the rocks and was making water. . The Norwegian barque Queen Victoria, which arrived at Gibraltar on the 4th, laden with barley for London from Odessa and Constantinople, would have to discharge to undergo repairs on account of being in a leaky state. A letter received at Gibraltar from Almeira, dated Nov. 27, reported the loss of the Neapolitan brig Rachele, Raffaelo Scarpati master, on the flats near Roquetas. She was laden with wheat, from Marseilles, bound to Cork or Falmouth for orders. Little of the cargo had been saved, and the hull, owing to the bad weather, had gone to pieces, but the rigging had been preserved. The Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian and the Archduchess Charlotte, who arrived at Gibraltar incognito on the 28th ult. in the Austrian steam frigate Kaiserin Elizabeth, took their departure shortly after eight o'clock on the morning of the 3d inst. During their stay his Imperial Highness had a cabin erected on the deck of the steamer, to be used as a library or reading-room. The steamer was to proceed direct to Madeira, where prepara tions had been made by the Austrian Consul and th• Portuguese authorities to receive him. It was sup posed that their Imperial Highnesses would also visit the Azores and Canary Islands. _ _ Gibraltar advices contain no later news from Mo rocco than that received via Madrid. The Chronicle of the Bth has the following items : " Arrivals front Mazagan and Saffi state that it was rumoured at those places that, owing to the commencement of hostilities with Spain, a holy war had been proclaimed throughout the empire, which would soon bring down to the seaboard towns thousands of armed Moors to defend their country and religion against the Spaniards. Trade with the interior was, in consequence of these events, in a paralysed state. The populations of these towns, notwithstanding, are reported to be in a quiet con dition, and peaceably inclined towards neutral Powers. "From Mogador we have received the following lists of the contingents furnished by the Moorish tribes in that part of the empire towards the holy war proclaimed by the Emperor against Spain :—.

Fro lich, sailed on the 3d for Santa Cruz; and the Belgian steamship Gustave Pastor put to sea on the same day. CAMBRIDGE LOCAL EXAMINATION AT LIVER rooL.—A local examination, in connection with the Uni versity of Cambridge, opened at St. George's-hall, Liver pool, on Tuesday the examiners being Dr. Goodwin, Dean of Ely, and the Rev. H. M. Campion, fellow and tutor of Queen's College. A fund is in progress for the purpose of rewarding those who are in the first or second class, and a public prize-giving in 1860 is contemplated. On this oc casion there are 72 candidates for middle class. honours. INDIA. By the arrival of the Overland Mail we have re ceived advices from Calcutta to Nov. 8. The papers are much taken up with Lord Canning's tour through Oude and the Upper Provinces. Accounts of his visit to Lucknycv reached us by the Bombay Mail. On Oct. 29 the Governor-General and the Commander-in-Chief departed for Cawnpore. The show and ceremonial of the week are stated to have been successful, but it is said that they had given great offence to Europeans at Lucknow. Regarding troops for China nothing further had occurred. The Overland Friend of India says :—" A month ago her Majesty's 67th were at Singapore on their way to Hong Kong. Volunteers for the war have been asked from Madras, Bombay, and Kurrachee, but the results, though not yet known, cannot be doubtful. The details,' promised without delay' in a General Ordsr eighteen days ago, have not yet been published. The 42 volunteers from the Alu wick Castle at Kedgeree were returned afterhaving been put on board ship to be brought back to Cal cutta. They were found to be a bad set, of whom the homeward-bound officers were only too glad to be rid. Few in England can understand the in tense craving for home that has seized every soldier in India, local and line alike. The men with whom we have spoken, from the intelligentUnd well edu cated non-commissioned officer to the most boorish lout of a raw recruit, describe life here as intense misery. Action would attract them. Volunteering for the campaign merely would have secured half the force at least now on its way home. But to ask men in a careless way to re-enlist for ten years, with all past service and all past services ignored, and for £5 bounty, with no manifestation of tact, no alluring appeal, no encouraging words, is to court a refusal in any circumstances: In her Ma jesty's regiments alone, now that the order prohi biting the purchase of discharge is withdrawn; forty-six men , of all classes up to the sergeant major, and of all terms of service, have lately paid sums ranging from £5 to £3O, and amounting in all to £BOO, for their discharge." Brigade commands have been abolished- For the future the senior officer in a station will command the brigade without allowances. The rules for compensation to sufferers by the mutiny have been issued. The loss, in support of which prima facie evidence was laid before the com missioners, amounts to Its. 2,07,83,214,and there are further claims to the extent of Rs. 32,67,783 which are doubtful. To meet this it is expected the sum of Its. 10,00,000 will be sufficient, but on no account is more than a million sterling to be given, which sum is to be remitted to India in the course of this cold season. A distinction is made between real and personal property. In the case of real pro perty, where the amount of the admitted loss shall not exceed Rs. 2,000, one-half shall be awarded and where the loss exceeds that sum, Rs. 1,000 shall be given and one third of the surplus. Losers of per sonal property are to receive one-third of the ad mitted loss, but in no case shall more than Its. 5,000 be granted. Compensation commissioners have been appointed in Bengal, the North-West, the Punjaub, Oude, Rajpootana, and Central India, to conduct the necessary inquiries. Not later than two months after closing the inquiries the amount conceded will be paid. Insurance 'companies re ceive nothing. No question of the loss of profits can be entertained. A bank will receive only a third of , the value of its buildings. If the full million is really given, it is believed, with such important exceptions as these, most of the claims will be met: Of the Waghers there is little further to record. The assault on Beyt seems to have been sadly mis managed. One account says there were only 130 men in the fort. But the whole strength of the pirates is centred in Dwarka, and there the struggle is expected to be deadly. The force landed on the 20th of October. Up to the 24th, beyond the cap ture of a small fort, nothing had been done. War stores had been sent for from Bombay and Kur rachee. The campaign in Bundlecund has begun. Fe roze Shah, Furzund Ali, and Rummust Singh are in a dense jungle on a bend of the Cane river, which runs in a north-easterly direction from the frontier of the Sanger and Nerbudda territory to the Jumna, between Chutterpore and Punnah. By the last intelligence Brigadier Wheeler and his staff had arrived at Nagocle and assumed command of the head-quarters column, consisting of the 2d Sikhs, two companies of her Majesty's 43d, and_ the Bij nour Rajpoot Levy. The plan for scouring the jungles is likely to be successful. From the south and west three columns, under Colonel Primrose, her Majesty's 43d; Colonel Oakes, 12th Royal Lancers; and Colonel Nott, 19th Madras Native Infantry, are marching on them. From Saugor Colonel Ross' advances with his Camel Corps, and From Banda, Colonel Turner,' of the 97th. Alex ander's Horse guards the road from Ghysabod to Huttah. Preparations are being made for a cam paign on the Chide frontier. Most circumstantial accounts of the death of Nana Sahib again.abound. On the Ist of November a large meeting was held in Calcutta to inaugurate a literary and scientific institution. It was at first designed for tradesmen and their assistants, but Sir Mordaunt Wells having joined the committee exerted himself to extend its benefits to all classes of the community, and met with much success. Sir Mordaunt presided at the meeting, and Dr. Duff delivered the inaugural ad dress. , The Peninsular and Oriental steamer Bentinck, with the mail of the 27th September, did not reach Calcutta till the sth inst. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CALCUTTA MAUKET, Nov. 8. On. the 27th ult. the telegram from Galle brought us London intelligence of the 27th Sept. Letters and papers of this date were brought by the steamer Bontinck on the sth inst. The telegraphic news of the 3d of October reached us via Bombay on the 29th ult. Letters and papers of this date were brought in by express on the 6th inst. Import Market—For the , last 10 , or 12 days our import market for piece goods and yarn has assumed a quiet and, daily increasing dulness. Generally the accounts from the up -country markets present a qonsidera bit) decrease in the consumption and a fall in, prices. The demand for the Bombay market is at an end, and the exportS for the coast ports are going on upon a very limit e d sca l e . All these . • CHINA. By this mail we have :.deices from Hong Kong to October 29, and Shanghae to October 22. The following is from the summary of the China Mail.•—" Everything remains dull. A portion of the 67th Regiment has come up here from Calcutta, and the 3d Buffs are daily expected from the same place, it having been supposed that Shanghae was in danger at the time of the riot there. It is said that a recent survey of the mouth of the Peiho has disclosed that large vessels can move in very clOse to the forts, so if directions come out for the destruction of the forts, there will be no difficulty in doing so. A number of vessels are en gaged at Calcutta lest hostilities should be ordered, but we are not without hope that moderate counsels will prevail. Mr. Lay has commenced the opera tion of the new service at Canton, and in another column we give the regulations of the custom house and the rules for river steamers. As might be ex pected, an innovation of this kind has been sharply opposed by, a portion of the foreign community, but in some quarters in such an abusive way as rather to close than to promote discussion. One important fact, however, is that the United States consul at Canton has refused his sanction to the arrangement until be comtnunicaies with his Ex cellency Mr. Ward ; and the American steamer White Cloud broUght back a portion of its cargo, immediately after the regulations were put in force this week, rather than bear the delay involved by the customs examination. As the system appears not to have worked ill at Shanghae, it is to be hoped that some attempt will be made to suit the necessities of the river steamers. We . mentioned in our last' overland summary that the southern portion of the island of Saghalien had been ceded to the Russians by the Japanese Government. As the Russians held the northern portion some time ago, it may be presumed that the whole island is now in their hands. The wreck of another steamer has to be announced by us every mail almost regu larly. This time it is the James Hartley the loss of which we hare to record. It left Shanghae for Hong Kong on the 6th inst., and on the evening of the 10th, a little after 6 o'block, struck upon some rocks about 80 miles from Hong Kong. After in ourring great danger the officers and crew were taken down to Hong Kong by a junk ; 25,000 dols. which were on board, were afterwards recovered by a gunboat. The ship Inkerman, from London, has been lost on St. John's Island ; the Louisa Baillie, on its way to Swatow ; and the schooner Minnita, on the other side of this island. Early on the morn ing of the 19th inst. a destructive fire broke out here, which destroyed the establishments of Mr. Marsh, Mrs. Rickomartz, the Victoria Exchange, the billiard-room of the Commercial Hotel, and the newly-built Roman Catholic chapel, with an ad joining house. The damage is estimated at up wards of 100,000 dols." HONG KONG, OCT. 29. In Hong Kong there has been little demand for imports,. except T-cloths, of which 41,000 pieces have been sold at an advance of about 10c. to 50c., the pincipal demand being for 51 catties. At Canton thore has been a more brisk demand for ma nufactures, and an advance of sc. to 10c. has been established. We give sales at both Hong Kong and Canton, and, quote prices at' the latter place, duty paid, cash two months.

PRICE 4 D . STAMPED, 5D .NEW •STAFF COLLEGE AT SANDHURS:f: The-first s stone of the projected college for officers of the army who, having served a probation in regi mental duties, seek by a higher course of training to qualify themselves for Staff appointments, was formally laid at Sandhurst yesterday by the. Com- mander-in-Chief; the Dalceof-.Cambridge, • It may not be.generally known that about . two years ago, at the suggestion and underthe auspices of his Royal Highness. the .Commander-in-dbief, a new and senior department was added to the Royal Military College at' Sindhurst.. The institution had hitherto been , confined to the instruction of 'Riots in the first rudiments.of the military art, with a view to fit them fos• Coinmissions in the army; but increased attention having been attracted of late years to the subject of military education, and the stimulus of competitive examinations hasi ing, been applied not to the civil services of the State alone, but also to the , scientific and other branches of the army, it was thought that the ma chinery of Sandhurst College might be made avail able for carrying. to a higher point the professional attainments of officers who have already seen ser .vice in the army, as well as for training mere boys •whia are candidates for first commissions. Hence originated what is called Alio:Staff College, which was founded -by Order in• Council, in February, 1858. Thoughostablished, as, will be seen, to im part instructionof a special and - veryadvancedorder, and therefore in its object anct purpose quite dis tinct from. the existing Military College, the new system has been' conducted 'up to. the present mb ment 'as a mere adjunct to that institution.- -But the time has come, in .the opinion , of its founders, for it to take a,leap. forward and enter a new phase of its history i ksMoreover;the accommodation of the present college, where the cadets alone number about 150, does .not admit of any expansion of what was from the first but an intrusive element ; and it has' been cleethed only fitting that the competitors for staff employment should have a separate build ing of their own in which _to pursue their studies. • The number . of students with which the Staff College commenced its career was only 15 ; now it reaches a maximum of 30, and when the new quar ters are ready to receive their inmates, it will admit of still further extension. As some indication of the nature and range'of the studies of these offieers, may be stated that the professorial staff now consists. of nine professors, viz., two for mathematics, one for military history and art, one for fortification, one for military administration, one each 'for Ger man, French, and Hindustani, and one for military topography. The students are divided into a senior and junior class, - and the period'allowed them for _passing through the college is two years: Exami nations by the Council of Military Education are held every, six months, so that, independently' of* the minor ordeals through which they 'are put quarterly, and even monthly, by the collegiate authorities, the progress of each class is gauged and tested at four successive stages of their colle giate course. The'new Staff 'College will be pleasantly situated on a gentle slope from half to three-quarters of a mile to the eastward of the Cadets' College; and within the spaeious 'grotinds attached. to the last named 'establishment. The new edifice, the foun dations and basement'of which are already laid up to within a foot of the 'ground floor, is expected to be completed in 18 nioriths. *. When finished•it will afford accommodation for 40 students. The building wiil be 265 feet long, 110 broad, and 55 in height, its style of- architecture modern'. Italian, and the material brick and stohe. The'main entrance will. be by the west front, and over it the royal arms will be emblazoned, surmounted by the crest of the college.

The contract also includeS the erection of suitable residences for the commandant and adjutant of the college, together with stabling • for a stud of 40 horses. The works arc under the direction of Col. Chapman, C. 8., of the Royal En : mineers, assisted by Capt. Gray and.Lieut..Bo NV dley,Royal. Engineers. Mr. Myres,, the eminent London builder, has the contract; the completion of which is estimated to cost from £40,000 to L 50,000. The occasion of his Royal Highness, the Com mander-in-Chief's visit to Sandhurst to receive the half-yearly report of the Council of Examiners was fixed upon for the laying of the first stone of the new edifice, and his Royal Highness readily acceded to the proposal that he should also perform the ceremony. • His Royal Highness arrived by the South-Weetern Railway at. Farnborough at nine o'clock a.m., and thence reached, Sandhurst in less than half an hour. He was attended by General Foster, Deputy-Assistant Adjutant-General ; Sir Richard Airey, Quartermaster-General ; General Cameron, Vice-President of the Council of. Military Education ; Major-General Sir E. Lugard, and Colonel Clifton, Aide-dc-Camp to the Commander in-Chief. His Royal Highness was received by Sir Harry Jones, Governor of Sandhurst Royal Mili tary College; Major-General Portlock ; Colonel M'Dougall, Commandant of the Sandhurst Staff College ; Colonel Scott, Lieutenant-Governor of the Royal Military College • and Lieutenant-Colonel Addison, of the Council of Military Education. The programme .of the day's proceedings opened with the parade of the cadets on the ground imme diately in front of the College, in the presence of the Commander-in-Chief, the members of his Staff, and the other distinguished officers already named. The youths were put through .the manual and pla toon exercise, the sword-bayonet exercise; and bat talion drill, in all of which they acquitted them selves with a celerity, a precision, and a steadiness which won for them the highest admiration. His Royal Highness Was then conducted by the College authorities to the apartment in the College where the military plans and drawings executed by the students of the Staff College were displayed for his inspection. ' Among the specimens thus ex hibited' were many highly-finished sketches of Sandhurst and its vicinity, including the camp at Aldershott, in which the varied features of the country were minutely delineated, and their strate gical value and capacities clearly indicated. These military plans were accompanied by manuscript memoirs, also the workmanship of the students, in which the leading points in their drawings were further explained and elucidated. The productions of the senior class in this branch of their studies were allowed by competent judges to possess merits of the highest order. ' The distinguished party then repaired to. the site of the proposed Staff College to perform the cere mony of laying the foundatiqn stone. What hap pened on this occasion deserves special mention, as standing out in marked contrast to what occurs in most instances when the services of the amateur mason are invoked. • The hero of the day usually comes to the scene in the fond hope that his part in the proceedings is to be, as far at least as the na ture of the case will admit, a reality, when lo ! he finds that the cunning hand 'of 'the professional workman has anticipated him, and that his own office has degenerated into the idlest of forms. In the present instance, however, it was wholly diffe rent. The brickwork of the foundation had, indeed, as we have said, been completed, but pot one stone of the building had been placed ; so that his Royal Highness literally accomplished with mallet' and trowel the task which the programme assigned to him. The spectacle was a truly animating one. The assemblage of brilliant uniforms, heightened l by the numerous orders and honorary deeorations of their wearers, had the finest effect. The ceremony was commenced with an appropri ate prayer, which was offered up by the Rev. Dr. Chepmell, chaplain of the Military College. A small mahogany box, containing the usual scroll setting forth the circumstances under which the first stone was laid, together with a complete set of the coins of the present reign, was handed to the Com mander-in-Chief, and deposited by his Royal High ness in a recess prepared for their reception. The stone was next lowered, and his Royal Highness, having adjusted it by level and line in its appointed place,pronounced %amid the cheers of the concourse, to be " well and truly laid." The band struck up the National Anthem, and a salute fronithe field pieces of the College also greeted this announcement. Col. MACDOUGALL, Commandant of the College, then spoke as follows :—The duty now devolves upon one, which I also feel to be a great honour, of thanking your Royal Highness, in the name of the Staff College, for kindly consenting to lay the first stone of the building destined to be the future home of that institution. May I be'permitted to say that it appears peculiarly fitting that this office should be performed by your Royal Highness, not only because, as occupying the proud position of Com mander-in-Chief of the British Army, the Staff Col lege has been your Royal. Highness's actual crea- NEWSPAPER. tion, but on account of the kind support and e sSF.,,tD rage rent which your Royal Highness has • pleased to extend to the infant institution from itir7'-' l, -; s commencement, without which the task of carrying S ont duties -so novel, with little or no experience in t the past to guide us, would have been one of Do . small dif fi cu 'lty ? For that support and encourage ment I beg respectfully to tender to your Royal Highness My grateful thanks. I hope I may be allowed without presumption to congratulate the British army at large on having at its bead a Royal Prince who has.shown a determination not only to encourage. but also to enferceallnecessars - -;litary studies and: exercises. In the insr ; hon oured by year Royal nigh'ass's ' *slope nor Our expectation -to convert every young student into a first-rate General ; for while it is undoubtedly true that no man, whatever his aptitude for war, can hope to become a great .General without. con- ' stint study and practice, on the other hand, it is s. equally true that all the practice and study in the world will not make a General of the man to whoin nature has denied those qualifications, both of brain s and nerve, which areso rarely_ found united in the -. same person, but which, when so found, constitute ; the great commander. What we do hope to do is to give to every officer who passes through this Col lege such a theoretical and, as far as is possible iu a .time of peace, such a practical training as may render bim a valuable instrument-fitted to the hand of any General to whom he may• be attached. , This day terminates the period of study for . the senior division of - our students, who are also the. first students that were admitted to the college __ after its formation. • And I would crave your Royal Highness's permission to avail myself of this public opportunity to say how great has been the pleasure and satisfacti o n I ha ve derived from having beet , associated with those officers, and how ,easy the duties of my post have been made to me through their demeanour. Brought together from lb matty different regiments, and pitted against each other, as it were, by competitive exam i na ti on , th e cor - _ diality, the good feeling---I may say the brotherly .. feeling—whiali haS existed' uninteruptedly among . • them s has been as remarkable as it has been gratify .ing. These, sir, are not words of course. It would be difficult for, me to express too strongly my ap preciation of . the assiduity, the good sense, and. ~ gentenianlikebearing . Of those officers, and my re- • gret at bidding them farewell is only alleviated by the conviction that many of them will become orna- • meats of theirsprofession, and all of them useful . , servants of their Queen and country. Colonel Mac- Dougall concluded by again thanking the Comman der-in-Chief for having graciously attended there that day. ... The Chaplain of the College then pronounced the Apostolical benediction, and the ceremony of laying the foundation stone terminated. His Royal Highness and his Staff then proCeeded to the riding-school of the College, where the cadets underwent a practical test of their horsemanship. The distinguished visitors next partook of lun cheon with the Commandant, professors, and stu- : dents of the Staff College ; after which they re- ' paired to the board-room, where the formalitY of awarding certificates to the successful Staff Colle- • gians was to take place. Here the official reports of the examiners were read, stating in detail the relative proficiency of their di&rent studies, as in, dicated by the number of marks they had gained in each. Those reports were highly satisfactory, both as to the junior class, which remains another year in the College, and the senior class, the mem bers of which have- all completed their curriculum, and are now eligible for staff appointments, thepre cedence awarded to them being regulated according to their number of marks. The reading"of the . documents having been con- . eluded, His ROYAL HIGHNESS briefly addressed the stu dents. He said—Gentlemen, lam very glad to be able to congratulate you on the results of the exa mination. It is highly satisfactory to me to hear so good a report of the trouble and pains you have taken inpreparing yourselves While at this college for those important staff duties which are so neces sary in an army, and which, if not properly fulfilled, must end in serious disaster to the troops with which you may be engaged. I may observe that you possess a very great advantage in having at the head of your College an officer like Colonel Mac- Dougall, for whom I have a great regard—l may almost say affection, for he is, in fact, one of the most satisfactory men to deal with whom I have ever met. It would therefore be strange indeed if you had not prqgresse,4l under such a chief, who tarries his men along witiohim more than an other man I ever knew. Ido not, however, mention the assistance which you have received from Colonel MacDougall, or from the admirable staff of pro fessors who liave devoted their time in furtherance of your pursuits with any intention to detract from the merit which belongs to you. You have profitel by their labours and their co•operation, and you have come up in the end to their expectations and to ours. The question of education is one of very considerable difficulty. We all desire to see it carried to the highest possible pitch, so that the education given does not reach a point where it would destroy efficiency. Your mere book-worm is a very respectable person in his way ; but he is not altogether the man , you want for a staff-officer. You want to have book-learning and all other neces sary qualities combined. . Therefore gentlemen, as you have now obtained a great amount of theoretical, and, I am bound to add, practical knowledge to fit you for the army, while I would recommend you to keep up your studies by books, I would urge you to devote yourselves specially to mastering the interior economy of a regiment, and all those minor and prac tical details, an acquaintance with which I contend is as essential in many respects as the higher subjects of study connected with our profession. Don't disre gard these things, then, because you have taken honours and gained a high position in mathematics and other useful acquirements. Don't forget those small details, without which an army cannot get on. Sometimes, indeed, an army suffers severely from the neglect of the most minute arrangements, and Matters which some would think of the very least importance may, after all, prove of more conse quence than all the rest besides. Let me, then, imprei s upon you the necessity, when you return to the service and' obtain those staff appoint ments which I trust to see• you all filling, of your applying yourselves to everything which can in crease your qualification for your profession with the same zeal and devotion as you have shown within the walls of this institution. Gentlemen, I can only congratulate you again on the very favourable account I have received of your proficiency. The proi;ress you have made must, I am sure, be very satisfactory to the Governor, Sir Harry Jones, and to the professors; and I will only add that when ever I visit this place again, if I should be spared to do so, and get an equally good report, I shall be exceedingly gratified.. It may be here mentioned that the result of the last half-year's competition for first commissions among the Sandhurst candidates was announced to them before they quitted parade. 24 of the senior cadets had obtained gratuitous commissions for their proficiency; two others, though less proficient, were deolared eligible for coznmissiohs by purchase and four had entirely failed to pass. The report relating to the cadets was, on the whole, regarded by the authorities as satisfactory. Having brought to a close the labours of a by no means ill-spent day, the Commander-in-Chief and his suite returned to town. The weather was throughout the day dry and beautifully fine, its only drawback being the keen and nipping. frost. TIIE SEVERE WEATHER.—THE PARES, &C.— Yesterday a very severe frost set in—the wind the pre ceding evening having veered round to the northward, in which point it has remained, ranging at intervals from N. by W. to N. by E., the frost cmtinning without inter mission. An idea of the intensity of the cold may be formed by the fact that ice was carted yesterday from the ponds, brooks, and rivulets in the suburban districts fully two inches in thickness ; and towards evening, as the tide receded from high water mark, a coating of ice was left on the river banks ; and the ornamental waters in the various parks were so much frozen, that if tlip weather continue with the same severity, the ice will be of sufficient strength to bear those persons who like the amusement of skating. The steep awaits of Fish-street, Holborn, Ludgate and Snow hills, and the inclines at Blackfriars-bridge were so glassy, that several stoppages took place, in consequence of horses having fallen, or being unable to move the heavy loads. On the various lines of railway much inconvenience and delay were occasioned, owing to the glassy state of the metals, several trains being nearly an hour behind the ap pointed time. Notices, were issued yesterday cautioning persons against sliding upon the pavements, and house keepers to have the pavements in front of their premises cleared every morning, otherwise the penalties in such cases will be strictly enforced. A. Fox DECAPITATED BY A RAILWAY TRAIN.— A few mornings ago, as some platelayers were coming along tho line, near Carnforth, Lancaster, they found a fox'a head cut off, along with a portion of the shoulders. It is sup posed that reynard had been out on an evening foraging expedition, and had been overtaken by the last train, and the speed of the engine being too much for him, he thus fell a victim. As a trophy, the party nailed the remains of poor reynard to the first telegraph post they came to.
