MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Although an extensive exportation of gold to the Continent is still kept up, the specie movement on the whole is less unfavourable. Comparatively small shipments of silver are now made to India, and a further diminution is expected, owing to the limited remittances now made on Government account. It appears, moreover, that the supplies of gold from Australia, America, and Russia have satisfied the immediate requirements of the ex porters, and yesterday a small amount, viz., £4,200, Was taken into the Bank of England. The Money Market continues tolerably easy, and the rates of discount have descended to 3 per cent• and under. This has occasioned some dis cussion as to the probability of a reduction in the Bank minimum, and various opinions have been expressed with regard to the expediency of a measure of that kind. While some consider that the authorities ought to follow the movement of i the market others contend that the existing easi ness may be only temporary, and should not be r elied upon as a guide to the general tendency of financial affairs. The Peni nsu l ar an d O r i en t a l C om p any ' s s t eamer Behar, which leaves to-morrow the 27th, will take Out £2,000 in gold for Alexandria, and £16,250 gold and £183,500 silver for Bombay, making a tot a l of £201,750. Of the amount despatched to Bombay £152,500 is on account of the Government. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed °cry steadily, and 7,000 bales were sold at previous quotations. In Railway Shares a fair amount of business was transacted, and prices of all the lead ing lines advanced. The official returns relating to trade and naviga tion for the four months ending the 30th April, 1859 , have been published. The total declared value of the exports for the four months amounted to £ 4 1,851,524 against £32,951,723 in the like period of 1858, b e i ng an i ncrease o f £8,889,801 . The increase is most perceptible in beer and ale, coals and culm, cotton manufactures, earthenware, haberd as h ery an d m ili nery, h ar d wares an d cut l ery, linen manufactures, silk manufactures, woollen Manufactures, and woollen and worsted yarn. The Importations of the principal articles have been S maller as regards cocoa, coffee, corn, flour, fruit, guano, provisions, spices, and tobacco, but larger as respects barley, raw cotton, raw silk, unrefined "gar, tea, wine, and sheep and lamb's wool. The shipping accounts exhibit an increase in the !Mount of tonnage employed in the foreign trade, zor the entries inwards, of 55,193 ; while the clear ances outwards have been augmented by 21i,520 s ons. In the coasting trade there has been an increase 1)f 43 1,842 t ons f or th e en t r ies inwards, and o f 264 ,444 tons for the clearances outwards, compared with those of the same period in the previous year. No alteration has been announced in the Bank rate of discount. Continued inactivity has been exhibited in the istock E xchange Markets, but the quotations have been buoyant, owing to the purchases for invest ment. The rise is equal to per cent., and this Improvement has imparted a very favourable in fluence to the market for other securities. Deal ngs have been recorded in Consols for money at 911, 9 2, 921, and for account at 911, 92, and 921 2 ,-,. The Present price is about 92 to 921 for transfer and the 7 th proximo. A purchase of £30,000 stock has been effected for the Court of Chancery. The New Threes and the Reduced Annuities are steady at 90 1 91 ; Bank Stock at 219 to 2211 ; Exchequer Bills are flat at 18s. to 225. prem. ; India Stock at 217 , ditto Debentures, at 932 4, and the Bonds at 15 s. discount.

In consequenco of there being on this occasion no breakfasting with the Lord Chan cellor, there was nothing to distinguish the commencement of term from the ordinary daily sittings. COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) JUDGMENT.-JOLLY V. ARBUTHNOT. This is an appeal front a decision of the Master of the Rolls, relative to the property and effects of Colonel Waugh. He purchased the estate of Banksea, and mortgaged and re-mortgaged it on several occasions, which were paid, and finally let it to himself and then became bankrupt. The contention involves the question of title to the sum of £3,500, the produce of a distress levied on certain chattels belonging to him on the estate of Banksea. The case was argued last term, and stood over for judgment, which was delivered this morning. The Lord Chancellor said—Thsre can be no doubt that the intention of the parties was to create a tenancy to enable the mortgagor to pay off the mortgage debt for which the estate was finally mortgaged, and the question is, whether they have legally carried out their intention. Colonel Waugh, atter paying off all his mortgages on the estate on 12th October, 1855, executed the deed which gave rise to the present question. The deed was executed in favour of the plaintiff, Mr. Jolly, for £36,000, payable on the 12th of May thereafter, and trustees were appointed to carry out the purposes for which the deed was granted to pay, or secure a part of the mort gage debt, £3,500, to the plaintiff. Col. Waugh entered into possession of the estate, and farmed as tenant to the mor gagee. A distress was levied, and the question raised was whether under this deed, which disclosed the landlord, there was a legal attainment by him as tenant. His lordship considered that under this deed the landlord, Colonel Waugh, was entitled to farm as tenant to the mortgagee, and that the appellant, Jolly, was entitled to the sum of £2,750, recovered by distress, in preference to the official assignee and official manager on Colonel Waugh's estate. His lordship varied the decree of the Master of the Rolls to this extent, and allowed the appeal with costs of suit, but without costs of excessive distress. PREFERENCE. SHARES.

I THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 26, 185 g. APPEAL.-JUDGMENT. - FOWLER V. FOWLER. This was an appeal from a decision of Vice-Chancellor Kindersley, dismissing the plaintiff's bills. Plaintiff, by his bill, asked to reconstruct or reform a deed executed by him in June, 1842, on the ground of mistake, including his father's property, whereas he contended that he was entitled to the sum of £20,000, provided for him by this deed out of his mother's property alone. The Lord Chancellor considered that the plaintiff had not made out such a case of mistake in the preparation of this deed as to entitle him to reconstruct it. The deed referred to a schedule containing his father's property, and another schedule containing his mother's property, and he was not entitled to say that he executed this deed in igno rance that it did not refer to his father's property. Tiff lordship affirmed the decision of the Vice-Chancellor, and dismissed the appeal with costs. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco, before Lord Campbell, and Justices Erle, Wightman, and Hill.) THE QUEEN T. THE REV. W. ROBERTS AND MARY M'CARTHY. From the reports that have already appeared in The Sun, it will be recollected that a writ of habeas corpus had been issued against Mr. Roberts, a Roman Catholic clergyman, and Mary M'Carthy, a school mistress In W estminster, calling upon them to produce a child named Mary M'Donnell, aged 12 years, the daughter of James M'Donnell, who had been induced to go to a Roman Catholic school, of which Mary M'Carthy was the schoolmistress, against the express wish of the father. A return was made to the writ, but Mr. Justice Erle was of opinion that it was insufficient, and that the writ had not. been obeyed, as it was clear that the parties knew where the child was, and could have produced her in obedience to the writ. The fact stated in the affidavit that the child herself had elected to be educated in the Roman Catholic faith was insufficient, and on that ground the writ of habeas had not been complied with, but the execution of the writ for contempt was postponed until to-day in order that the cause might be heard before the full court. Mr. Lush, Q.C., and Mr. Cook Evans appeared in sup port of the writ; and Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Archbold appeared for the Rev. Mr. Roberts and Mary M'Carthy. Shortly before ,12 Mr. Lush, Q.C., rose to open the case, praying the Court to pass Adgment on the Rev. Mr. Roberts for contempt. Lord Campbell—Call Roberts into court. The officer proceeded to call upon Mr. Roberts to appear, but the rov. gentleman did not answer the summons. Mr. Lush—The defendant is under recognisances to ap pear, and I believe he has been in court this morning. Mr. Archbold—l am with my learned friend Mr. Ser geant Shoe, and he is not yet in court. Lord Campbell—l hope he will be in court before he is called upon to speak. Mr. Archbold—lle has been sent for, my lord. I have under the circumstances to ask the court for a short ad journment of the case. Mr. Lush—l have no objection to the case standing over for a short time, but I am very anxious it should be dis posed of as speedily as possible. Lord Campbell—Let the proceedings then stand over until one o'clock. At that hour, all parties being present, Mr. Lush rose and prayed the judgment of the court upon the Rev. Mr. Roberts, for contempt. Mr. Sergeant Shee said the return Mr. Roberts had made to the writ of habeas corpus was a just, clear, and good return. Lord Campbell—Does the affidavits say they don't know where the child is at present Sergeant Shee—No, my lord, they do not. Lord Campbell—Then you must show that the return made to the habeas is bona fide. After some further argument, Lord Campbell said he was of opinion that an attachment ought to issue against Mr. Roberts, the effect of which would be that ho would have to enter into recognisances to answer certain interrogatories, and upon those answers the punishment to be awarded would depend. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(TRIS DAY.) GUILDHALL. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY.—James Charles and Terence M'Clean, trading under the firm of M'Clean and Co., wholesale wine and spirit merchants, of Sloane-street and Skinner-street, again appeared upon a summons, remanded from Monday last, to answer a charge of conspiring to defraud Mr. Bigg of a5O. Mr. Humphreys, jun., appeared for the complainant, and Mr. Wontner for the defendants. William Hasley said—l am the registrar of one of the Courts of Bankruptcy, and I produce the proceedings in re J. C. and T. M'Clean The adjudication was on the sth February, 1859, and the day appointed for the hearing was the 19th July. They surrendered on the sth. The date of the last examination was the 4th May, and then the bankrupts passed. The certificate meeting was on the 2d June. The certificate was suspended for six months, and then to be of the third class. It waA suspended from the sth March, with protection. The cer tificate was handed to them on the 13th Sept. Amongst the proceedings I have no bill for £250, dated on or about November, at one month. It would not be here under any circumstances. Cross-examined—We don't file bills, the official assignee would have them. I only see a promissory note in the proceedings for £2.50. Mr. Wontner complained that a great deal of time had been wasted over this case in nonsense. Mr. Hasley said that complainant proved on the estate for £254 18s., and exhibited a promissory note as collateral security, drawn by Ann Southgate. James Fulton said he lived at 30, Wharf-road, City road. He was manager of the Grand Junction Land Com .pany. He knew the defendants. Mr. Terence M'Clean once spoke to him in reference to a promissory note for £250 given by Mrs. Southgate to Mr. Bigg. It was about the time Mr. Bigg was seeking to recover by action. He spoke to witness about it on several occasions. He remem bered relating to Mr. Bigg something of one of those con versations. He could not recollect the date. In alluding to the proceedings (the action) he said that he thought Mr. Bigg was very badly advised. Witness said he did not quite understand Mr. M'Clean. He replied, " The result of the action will show." Witness asked if Mrs. Southgate had not signed the acceptance. He answered, " I got the acceptance from my brother and gave it to Mr. Bigg." Witness then inquired why it had been given to Mr. Bigg. He replied, "To quiet or satisfy him." Witness remembered nothing else. Mr. Terence told witness a great deal. Witness had known both defendants and Mr. Bigg a very long time, and whenever they met this was generally the subject of con versation. Witness never saw James 111‘Clean. upon this subject. I mentioned the matter to Mr. Bigg, because I assumed that Terence M'Clean intended Mr. Bigg to hear it. Mr. Wontner objected to the witness giving any reasons, and contended that assumptions could not be entered on the depositions. By Alderman Mechi—Witness thought that Terence meant Mr. Bigg was badly advised by his solicitors. lie gave no reasons for saying so. Mr. Wontner wished to know if the defendants had not offered to pay this debt by instalments. Witness—Terence told me frequently they were desirous of paying this debt, and had made an offer of £5O per annum. I asked him if Mrs. Southgate had signed the note, and he replied, " I got the note from my brother." He did not say he knew whether she had signed it or not. He expressed no doubt as to the note being genuine. Witness would not swear that Terence M'Lean said " Mr. Bigg booby to go on with the proc ee di ngs , as M rs . Southgate was n ot aware she had signed the no t e; " or , "he was a great fool for going to all these legal ex p ense s, as 3lrs. Southgate was not aware she had given s uc h a note." was a great Philip Brian Jones was managing common law clerk to Mr. Digenham. He remeiaered the defence to the action against Mrs. Southgate. He remembered the affidavit (pro duced) being made. [Witness refused to answer a question put by Mr. Humphreys, on the ground that it was a privi leged communication that had been made by one of the de fendants.] Mr. Humphreys insisted that ho was entitled to an answer. Witness would not admit that defendants were agents to Mrs. Southgate; but any communication witness mayhave had with them was as agent for Mrs. Southgate. Witness could not swear positively that he had seen Mrs. Southgate in reference to this action. He had often seen Mr. South gate. The witness objected generally to answer many questions put by Mr. Humphreys. Mr. Martin said the witness's mouth was closed. Mr. Wontner said, this case was very extraordinary, from the manner in which it had been brought before the public. He was quite sure there must be some hidden motive of doing this just after the defendants had recovered from their bankruptcy. The suit against Mrs. Southgate was stopped by that lady's death, and it was not until September, 1858, that any statements injurious to the defendants were made. Why was it that these criminal proceed ings should not take place till this month (May) ; The chance of recovering from the lady is now very remote, as she was dead, and the criminal screw was put on to get the money from the survivors. As to the statement that Mrs. Southgate thought she was signing a receipt why the note bore the stamp " Bill Stamp, 35." Alderman—Recollect she was bed-ridden. Mr. Wontner observed that she might have been bed ridden and yet have been in possession of her mental facul ties, and his worship would remember that she must have been very much better than the description given of her by one of the witnesses, as she went to the south of France. No one ever heard of such a conspiracy as this. Alderman—Had it not been for this note plaintiff might have proceeded before the bankruptcy. Mr. WontnerThe periods are almost coeval. The wit nesses had to be very much prompted upon many points be fore material evidence had been elicited. Before committing these defendants his worship must be convinced that the deceased lady did not know she was signing a promissory note. Sir Peter Laurie, who came in, said he was sure the pre siding alderman had made up his mind, and ➢ir. Wontner might talk for ever without effect. Mr. Wontner was sure that such was not the case, and insisted that on the face of tho evidence taken in this case his worship would discharge the defendants, as the whole matter might have been inquired into in the Bankruptcy Court. The Alderman said be should adjourn the case for deci sion till to-morrow, and after the evidence adduced he should require the defendants to put in sureties for their appearance. The necessary sureties entered into the required bail, and the very crowded court was cleared. MARLBOROUGH-STREET ROBBING, 'WITH VIOLENCE.—A STRANGE CASE.—Mar garet Keefe and Ann Askey, two dissipated •looking females, were charged with stealing £.5 in gold and a quantity of silver from Martha Best, servant to Mrs. Edwards, milliner, of 4, Newington-causeway, under the following circum stances : The prosecutrix said that on the previous morning, about eight o'clock, while on her 'way to a county court to pay some money for her mistress, she called in at a publichouse near the end of Oxford-street to have some porter, and there saw the two prisoners, who asked her to treat them with something to drink, which request she complied with, taking for the purpose a shilling from her mistress's money, which she had tied up in the corner of her pocket handker chief for safety, and intending afterwards to replace it. She shortly after left the house, the prisoners following her, and just as she had got outside the door Keefe gave her a violent blow in the face, causing her to fall, and at the same time seizing the hand.. kerchief, in which was upwards of £5 in gold and silver, and starting off with it, and before she (prosecutrix) could follow her the other prisoner struck her another severe blow and also made off. They left her witheut any money, and she had, from fear of facing her mistress, not been back since, and had been obliged to part with her shawl. In answer to Mr. Bingham, the prosecutrix said the prisoners were entire strangers to her, but they said they were very badly off, and she treated them. She afterwards saw the prisoner Askey on Seven-dials, and gave her into custody, and the other prisoner was found by the police. Mrs. Edwards, Best's sister, attended, and expressed a wish that she might be detained, under the circumstances ; but Mr. Bingham refused, and remanded the prisoners. TIIIS DAY'S MARKETS.

There was very little discussion, and the rep4t was adopted. Share] 13 4 THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. TA2TERSALLS'-( THIS EVENING.)

FROM BATH TO HARPENDEN. The Bath Meeting was a great success. The character of the sport was of no ordinary descrip tion, for amongst the animals that entered the lists during the two days were a third favourite for the Derby, a first favourite for the Derby, 1860, and a prominent favourite for the Oaks. The returns of the racing which have been daily published, how ever, have already made the reader acquainted with the most prominent incidents of the sport ; I shall, therefore, place before him a few rough notes on the Derby Doings. The firm attitude assumed by the supporters of Promised Land has seemingly discouraged his opponents. No attempt was made to shake his position. During the three days he could not have been backed for less than about £3,000. Strong hostility was arrayed against Musjid, and it appeared at one time calculated to produce a most damaging effect upon his position, but the confidence of his friends revived yesterday. Trumpeter has quite superseded Marionette in the betting, and he seems a horse to be trusted. I am not alone in the opinion that he is the best looking and the best goer that we have seen out this year. The fuss which is made about his queer leg is absurd, and I fully expect that he will not only " stand" till the Derby Day, but that, as " Argus" would say, he will be " painted." Electric is not over steady, albeit a slight demonstration was made in his favour yesterday. Highwayman was convicted of roguish propensities on Tuesday, and Ticket•of-leave is in little request. The outsiders are sometimes men. tioned, but no one appears inclined to give them support. Enfield is only nibbled at. This after noon, at the Corner, however, some important changes may be effected in the price current. The pleasant and crowded meeting at Harpen den, where tramps and show folk halt en route to Epsom, will come off to-morrow, and the sport will be interesting and abundant enough to draw a large number of bookmakers and others from " The Corner." For the Handicap, Minster and Catherine may run forward, and the Two Year Old Stakes would seem a gift to Mr. E. Hall's slashing filly Seclusion. A FRESH MAN. FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION. A fearful fatal boiler explosion, unfortunately attended with loss of life and serious injury to per. sons and property, occurred on Saturday last, about a quarter past one in the afternoon, at the works of Messrs. Taylor and Shepherd, at Holling's Wood, Oaken Gates. The boiler, a very powerful one, had been at work during the whole of the forenoon, and whilst the men were engaged in their ordinary occupation a sudden explosion took place, the end of the boiler being blown out, carrying ruin and destruction to everything around. At the time of the accident one of the workmen, named Thomas Fereday, was talking to Mr. Lewis, the manager, when he was struck with a portion of the iron plating, and carried to a distance of 15 yards ; his death was instantaneous, whilst the escape of the manager was most miraculous. Others engaged about the works were unhappily not so for tunate, as we learn that from ten to twelve men and boys were more or less seriously in jured,; some of whom are not expected to survive. An inquest was appointed to be held on Monday afternoon, on the body of poor Fereday, who, we regret to say, has left a wife and family to deplore his loss. The damage to the works is very great, and will involve the :firm in considerable expense. We learn that at the moment of the explosion a train was passing along the Great Western Rail way, close to the scene of the catastrophe, but for tunately the wreck of the boiler took a different direction, and thus, in all probability, prevented a still more serious accident. As it was the line was strewed with slates, bricks, and pieces of iron. There was, it was stated, an ample supply of water in the boiler at the time the explosion took place, and many conjectures are in circulation as to the cause of the sad calamity, but we have no doubt that a full and careful investigation of all the cir cumstances connected with the melancholy occur rence will be instituted by the jury as well as the proprietors of the works.—Birmingham Post. • A FEMALE ROBINSON CRUSOE. The Chicago correspondent of the New York Times supplies that journal with the following story :—ln 1856 a Miss Richardson, of Cleveland, took passage in the vessel of a relation for Green Bay, where she was to be married. During the passage the officers and men became intoxicated, and during a gale the vessel washed on an island in Lake Superior, near the British coast, and north-west from Isle Royal. The captain and crew leaped overboard as the vessel struck, and Miss Richardson and her cousin (the mate) were about to follow, when a spar from the broken and shat tered mast fell to the deck, striking the mate upon the head, and instantly killing him. Miss Richardson's courage forsook her at this awful sight, and she sank insensible upon the deck. When she came to her senses the storm was dying away, and the vessel was fast among the rocks, about a mile froth land. By her lay the mutilated body of her cousin, at the sight of which she nearly fainted. Summoning up resolu tion, she got up some trunks from the cabin, lashed them to a spar, tied a life-preserver round her and floated ashore, amid a heap of barrels, boxes, &c. Nothing could she see of the crew who had left the ship. When night approached she became very dismal, and knelt down and prayed. Presently she saw a dark bale floating ashore, and wading into the water she dragged it to land. It contained buffalo robes, some of which were dry, and kept her warm during a deep slumber which fell upon her that night. Next morning she set to work to save everything she could from the sea, and was fortunate to find a case of sar dines, from which she made a hearty meal. On the second day she continued collecting the cargo, and found sufficient provision t o - last her for four years. On the third day the waves threw up the dead and bruised bodies of the crew. In the pocket of one of them (a cousin) she found a box of matches. She dug shallow graves, and interred the dead. She does not say how she pro cured water. She had learned to catch fish, and cook her provisions without a stove. She built a hut, and though she suffered considerably during the winter got inured to its so verity. Occasionally she saw vessel's, but could not attract their atten tion. On the 25th of February, 1859, after she had been three years alone, some Indians from the Bri tish shore visited the island, with whom she re turned to the British territory, and was forwarded to Fort William. Such is a condensation of the rather fabulous account in the New York Times, taken from a diary said to have been kept by Miss Richardson. SCENE TN A THEATRE.—An extraordinary cir cumstance occurred in the course of the performance at the Theatre de l'Opera Comique the night before last. Just as an act was about to finish, a young Woman in what is called the second gallery climbed over the front, and remained hanging by her hands. The people just below hurried away from fear that she would fall on them, and everyb o dy in the house felt great emotion. Some parsons attempted to drag her back, but were unable, and it, was evident th at her strength was fast declining and that she could not remain hanging much longer. At length a powerful man' seiz bee d her by the arms and dragged h er hack. She was taken fore the commissary of police of the district, and he ascer tained that she is insane.—Gedignani. • ENORMOUS FRESII-WATER EEL.—On Saturday, the 14th inst., two appre n ti c e lads while pa ssin g the small canal which su pplies Pulteney-town distillery with water from Hemprigg's Loch, Caithness-shire, discovered a large eel in the bed of the canal, to which they gavd chase, and succeeded in capturing. it. It measured 6 feet 4 inches in length and 18 inches in circumference. It was of a dark colour, and was furnished with very strong teeth, so much so that upon an old boot being put into its mouth it fastened its teeth so firmly in the leather that its whole weight was suspended by the boot for a considerable time. 'Unfortu nately it was not weighed, but from a moderate calculation it could not be much short of 501 b. weight, being fully one half larger than any fresh-water eel which was ever heard o f in this oountry.G /ctsYow Mat/. THE NA VY. The Falcon, 17, screw steam corvette, steamed out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday to Spithead, and exchanged the customary salutes with the Victory, flagship of Admiral W. Bowles, C.B.

A draught of pensioners was transferred on Tues day from the flagship Impregnable, 104, Capt. W. H. Stewart, at Plymouth, to the Royal Adelaide, 104, for harbour duty. The screw steamship Hannibal, 91, Capt. G. T. Gordon, from Portsmouth, was reported off Ply mouth at noon on Tuesday, going down Channel. The screw steam frigate Topaze, 51, got up steam in Hamoaze on Tuesday to prove her machinery preparatory to going out on trial. The paddle surveying steamer Bann, Capt. Wil liams, was taken into No. 2 dock at the Devonport dockyard on Tuesday. The screw steamship Royal George, 102, Master H. G.

Johnstone, yesterday arrived at Woolwich, under orders to be paid off. The iron paddlewheel steam vessel Bloodhound and the Messenger were yester day undocked at Woolwich, and the paddlewheel steam sloop Alecto was hauled out of the inner basin in readiness for being docked. THE ARMY. His Royal Highness the General Commanding-in- Chief visited the Maidstone garrison yesterday for the purpose of inspecting and dismissing a portion of the cavalry establishment. The Duke, accompa nied by his aide-de-camp, was received at the bar racks by the Commandant (Col. Balders, C. 8.) and by Col. Henry and Col. Booth, of the Royal Horse Artillery. The troops were drawn up on the parade, and his Royal Highness reviewed a succession of "rides" in the following order :—Non-commissi9ned officers qualifying for commmissions as riciln masters, Heavy Dragoon ride, Light Dragoon ride, followed by a ride of remount horses. The General Commanding-in-Chief afterwards inspected a foot parade in lance and sword squads, the review, being concluded by a number of recruit rides by the 6th. Dragoon Guards (Carabincers), 6th Dragoons (I a niskillings), 12th Lancers, and 14th Light Dra goons. His Royal Highness, after complimenting the Commandant upon the excellent appearance of the men and horses,_ and upon the highly efficient state of the establishment, returned to town by the 2.25 train. Orders were yesterday received at Chatham gar rison, directing the following number of officers and troops to embark at Gravesend for Calcutta beiween the 15th and 23d of June, for the purpose of rein forcing the regiments serving in India, viz., I cap tain and 25 men of the 6th Dragoon Guards (Cara bineers), 2 subalterns. and 102 non-commissioned officers and men of the Ist battalion 3d Buffs, 4 subalterns and 51 men of the Ist battalion 13th (Prince Albert's) Light Infantry, 5 subalterns and 62 non-commissioned officers and men of the Bth Regiment ; 1 captain, 2 subalterns, and 102 non commissioned officers and men of the 93d High landers ; 50 men of the 97th (Earl of Ulster's) Regi ment ; 1 field officer, 2 captains, and 100 men of the 2d battalion Rifle Brigade ; 1 captain, 3 subalterns, and 102 non-commissioned officers and men of the 3d battalion Rifle Brigade. With the above rein forcements are to embark 21 women and children, the authorities having decided on sending out a proportionate number of soldiers' wives and childn , n in each ship proceeding to India. The depot of the 32d (Cornwall) Light Infantry will leave Chatham garrison this morning, and proceed by special train for Dover, where they are to be stationed to await the arrival of the head quarters of the gallant 32d from India, who are shortly expected to return to England. Owing to no reinforcements having been sent out to the 32d in India for some time past, the depot is unusually strong, the depot companies actually numbering more than the service companies, which have been considerably reduced, the frequent conflicts with the mutineers at Cawnpore, Lucknow. and the other mutinous districts having reduced the regi ment to a mere skeleton of its former strength. The depot at Chatham musters 13 officers and about 600 men of all ranks. The 32d Regiment has been absent in India 13 years, having left England in May, 1846. For its gallant behaviour at Lucknow and Cawnporc, where its ranks were terribly thinned, it was honoured by her Majesty with the designation of a light infantry regiment. The 32c1 depot will be relieved at Chatham by the depot companies of the 77th Regiment, which will arrive at that garris-n from Portsmouth this day, and oc cupy the quarters vacated by the 32d. The head quarters of the 77th embarked for India in 1857. The depot numbers 7 officers and about 650 men of all ranks. The Urgent, screw steam transport, Commander Hire, will embark this morning at Portsmouth, for Gibraltar, one field officer, 11 other officers, 305 non-commissioned officers and men, three ladies, four children, three female servants, 11 soldiers' wives, and 12 children of the 100th (Prince of — Wales Royal Canadian) Regiment ; also, three officers, 77 non-commissioned officers and men, 9 soldiers' wives, and 13 children, of the Royal Artil lery. As soon as the above are embarked the Urgent will proceed direct to Queenstown, where she wi 11 take on board, also for Gibraltar, 1 officer and 30 non-commissioned officers and men of the 2d batta lion 6th Foot, and 1 officer, 100 non-commissions d officers and men, 6 soldiers' wives, and 9 children, of the 2d battalion Bth Foot. The subject of providing the most effectual method of cooking the soldiers' rations, so as to com bine the greatest amount of nourishment and whole someness of food which can possibly be accomplished, according to the limits of the military cook house, having been under the consideration of the Horse Guards for some time past, a number of Cooking apparatuses have been erected at the Roy al Artillery-barracks, Woolwich, under the sanction of the General Commanding-in-Chief, each of which has undergone a series of experimental tests for the satisfaction of the officers composing the Royal Sanitary Commission. Yesterday, Captain Freeth, Deputy• Assist ant Quartermaster- Gen eral, Royal Artillery ; Mr. Clerk, Royal Engineer Department; Board t e of n t Admiral, ro tat.y co t o y k n m g a a d p e p a a n r a o t fi s erected at No. 3 coo ki n inspection h the fa Mr. Warrener, of the Sanitary C omm i ss i on, an d an c o i ffi a l c i e n r h g ouse. Royal Artillery barracks, by Mr. Radl - ey, proprietor of Greskam 's Hotel, Dublin. The apparatus was viewed through out by the members appointed for the purpose, under the superintendence of the patentee after the performance of the allotted day's work. The invt a tion gives to the roasting apparatus a rotary mo tion, which, it was stated, preserves the nutritious qualities of the meat,and effects a saving of 20 per cent. in weight alone, rendering the frequent open ing of the doors unnecessary, and more effectually roasting the meat in a much shorter time, together with the advantage of self-basting. The meat and. vegetables are steamed from the boiler, which heats several thousand gallons of water, and condenses water, if neceosary. The ovens are capable of bak ing bread in the intervals of cooking and the hot hearth appears to afford facilities for all other branches of cooking. The consump tion of fuel during the whole day amounted to less than 1 cwt. of coals, or below 111 j. per man within the computation required by the committee, and the attendance of only two men to 500 rations. The grate containing the fire is fitted so as to reduce its capacity when required for a small party, or to husband the consumption of fuel, and retain a moderate heat when the dinner hour is over ; and was pronounced highly applicable to ships of war and passenger and em i g rant vessels. Society A modified of I model of the invention is exposed in the Arts exhibition in the Adelphi, p ada ted for the use of an army on the march.

On receiving the change, five sovereigns, he put them in his purse, which he replaced iu, his pocket and buttoned his coat. He t boa turnedtowarcht the door, and walked up Mount-pleasant, but before he had had got half way he was accosted by a woman, who, after speaking a few words to him, was joined by two men, who pushed her with much force against him, when she put her hand into his pocket and ran off with his purse. He followed in pursuit, and was joined by a policeman, when the prisoner was discovered in a brothel in Hotham-street. She had, however, gone through a complete transformation, for she wore a false wig, had a patch on her cheek, a coloured skirt, and appeared lame. The police officer, however, soon divested the woman of her assumed habiliments, and she wag then recognised as the thief by the prosecutor.
