THIS DAY'S MARKETS. THE ILLEGAL SALE OF CON,IISSIONS• COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH—(THIS DAY.) , (Sittings after term, before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and a Special Jury.) THE QUEEN V. MARSHALL AND OTHERS.-THE ILLEGAL SALE OF COMMISSIONS IN THE. ARMY This was a criminal indictment, at the instance of his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, against the defendants, Thomas Robert Marshall, Edward Henry Mortimer, and Henry Septimus Eicke, for the alleged sale of commissions in the army, and the case came originally before the Central Criminal Court, but, on the application , of the Crown, was removed by writ of certiorari to this Court. , Sir Fitzroy Kelly and Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., appeared on behalf of the prosecution ; and Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., Mr. Gordon Allen, and another learned gentleman, for the.. defendants. Mr. Gordon Allen said that, on behalf of the defendants Mortimer and Eicke he would withdraw the plea of not guilty, and plead guilty to the indictment. Sir F. Kelly then stated the case for the prosecution. He said that so late as the time of Edward VI., a statute was passed which made the sale of or traffic in government offices illegal, and by an Act, 49th George 111., the provi- sions of that statute were extended to the sale of or traffic in commissions in the army, and the offence with which the defendants was charged was specially mentioned. It ap peared that in March, 1858, a young gentleman named Cunningham applied to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, which, being unsupported by testimonials, was refused. However, on the 25th of September last year this gentleman obtained a commission, but subsequently a letter was received by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, from a person named Pugh, stating that the commission in question had been procured by the payment of a sum of £4OO to the defendants, who were trading in the sale of commissions, under the fictitious title of Armstrong and Co. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge directed Sir Charles. Yorke to write to Pugh, and the re sult was the institution or these proceedings. The learned counsel having entered into different details developed in the evidence, and read the correspondence between Pugh and Sir Charles Yorke, called the following witnesses:— Mr. Henry Bristow said that he was a merchant, and re sided in Lancashire. He was anxious to obtain a commis sion for his brother-in-law, Mr. Cunningham, and in the May of 1858 had an interview with Mr. Pugh, to whom he had been recommended as a person likely to accom plish his object. (Three letters from Marshall to the wit ness were produced : in which the subject of the sale of the commission was introduced, and a proposition made to the effect that the witness should lodge £4OO at White and Company's Bank, in the Haymarket, to be transferred to the credit of a person subsequently named as soon as Mr. Cunningham was gazetted. These letters were proved to be in the handwriting of Marshall by Mr. Pugh.) He saw Marshall the following June in his shop, and it was arranged that a person whom he called Armstrong should call on him at his hotel; and he accordingly received a visit from this person, who was in reality the defendant Eicke. It was then agreed that they should make certain alterations in the form of application addressed to H.R.H. the Duke of Cambridge for the commission, which was signed by the witness, and forwarded to his royal highness at the Horse Guards. Eicke then asked him to give orders for the transfer of the £4OO which he had lodged at White's Bank, to the credit of Armstrong and Co., when Mr. Cun ningham was gazetted, which he did accordingly. He left town on the 10th of July last, and in the same month, and subsequently, he received letters purport ing to come from. Armstrong and Co. These letters, which were proved to be in the handwriting of Eicke and Morti mer, were read, and related to the commission, the obtain ing of which they promised to expedite as soon as Mr. Cun ningham had passed his examination. In September last his brother-in-law was gazetted, and he transferred the money to the account of Armstrong and Co. Cross-examined by Mr. M. Chambers—He had been advised to apply to an army agent to assist him in getting the commission for his brother-in-law, but had not applied to any other agents tham Armstrong and Co. Ho was re commended by his tailor, Mr. Edwards, to Mr. Pugh, and the latter gave him to understand that the parties with whom he proposed to deal were officers in the army, and that he would be introduced to them, but he did not men tion any names. Mr. Marshall was a general tailor, and solicited him for the order for the outfit of his brother-in law, which ho gave him. The trial is likely to last several days. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT DOVER.—One .of the most serious conflagrations which has occurred in Dover for many years past took place on Saturday afternoon on the Maison Dieu farm, belonging to and in the occupation of Mr. C. B. Goreley, and resulted in the total destruction of the greater portion of the premises, several large stacks of corn, &c., and a large barn being entirely demolished, and the dwelling-house partially so. The fire is supposed to have been caused by a little boy about five years of age whilst playing with lucifer matches near one of the stacks of hay. CORN EXCHANGE. Most of the country markets held on Saturday were but moderately supplied with wheat, and the demand for most kinds ruled steady, at slightly enhanced rates. The trans actions in spring corn were chiefly in retail, yet prices were firm. In the value of flour very little change took place. Throughout the continent wheat moved off showly, and the quotations have had a drooping tendency. Spring corn, however, has almost generally realised full prices. In the United States the value of produce generally has given wa. , The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were limited. From abroad they were liberal—viz., 21,786 quarters of wheat, 4,261 of barley, 10,010 oati, 19 bean's, 7,677 linseed, 7,077 oilseeds, 27 sundry seeds, and 6,852 sacks of flour. The quantity of English wheat fresh up to-day, coast wise and by land carriage, was very moderate, and the show of samples was limited. The attendance of both town and country millers was small, yet the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled steady, at prices fully equal to Monday last, and at which some progress was made in effecting sales. At the close of business good and useful wheats were is per quarter dearer. There was a large quantity of foreign wheat on offer. Good and fine samples were held firmly, at full quotations ; but the demand for them was by no means active. Low and damp parcels moved off slowly, at late rates. In floating cargoes of grain, very little was doing. Grinding barley was in fair request, at full quotations, but malting and distilling sorts were very dull. The malt trade was heavy, at last week's currency. The show of both English and foreign oats was only moderate ; nevertheless, the demand for most kinds ruled inactive, at late rates. Both beans and peas were dull, and the turn cheaper. Flour sold slowly at late rates, and the top price of town made was 46s per 2801bs. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The total imports of foreign stock into London last week were 6,636 head. In the corresponding week in 1858 we received 3,964 ; in 1857, 4,924 ; in 1856, 2,464 ; in 1855, 5,681; in 1854, 6,179 ; in 1853, 6,246 ; and in 1852, head. IMPORTS INTO LONDON LAST WEEK. From.

The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts this morning were tolerably extensive as to num ber, and in fair average condition. Owing chiefly to the prevailing hot weather, all breeds of beasts met a very dull sale, at a decline in the quotations noticed on Monday last of fully 2d per 81bs., the extreme price for Scots being 4s 6d per Blbs. From Norfolk, Sussex, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,250 Scots, shorthorns, and crosses; from other parts of England 400 of various breeds ; from Scotland 200 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 30 oxen. We were again very extensively supplied with nearly all breeds of sheep, and the mutton trade was in a most de pressed state. Compared with this day se'nnight, prices gave way 2d to 4d per 81bs, and the top figure for Downs did not exceed 4s .10d per 81bs. Lambs were in good supply and heavy request, at 2d per 81bs less money. About 600 sheep and 500 lambs came to hand from Ireland. The show of calves was large, and the veal trade ruled heavy, at 2d per 81bs less money. In pigs next to nothing was doing, at late rates. 48 a. d. a. d. Primecrs-wool de. 4 2 4 4 Pme.

The demand is inactive, and prices may be quoted at from 60s to 200 s per ton. New potatoes are coming more freely to hand, and sales progress steadily, as follows :—English, 7s to lls ; Jersey, 7s to 10s; Scilly, 6s to 10s; Spanish, 6s to 8s; French, 8s to 108 per cwt.

We continue to have a steady demand for nearly all kinds of English wool, both for home use and export, at full quo tations. In foreign and colonial qualities very little busi ness is doing, on former terms.

KLIZA COOK'S " OLD ARM CHAIR." This was a bill of exceptions taken to the charge of the Lord President of the Court of Session in Scotland to the jury at the trial of this cause. This was au action of damages for an infringement of the registered copyright of a song by Eliza Cook--" The Old Arm Chair"—assigned by her to the respondent Jeffreys. The Lord President, in the abserice of production of the formal instrument of assignment, to prove the assignment of the copyright to the respondent, charged the jury to the effect that secondary evidence was admissable to prove that fact. To this charge the appellant took exceptions and appealed. It appeared that there was-Ist. A preliminary objection to the bill of exceptions in respect that the appeal was not entered within 14 days in terms of the Act of Parliament. 2d. That the exceptions were too general, and not special. And 3d, that the Lord President's charge and verdict of the jury were general and not special, and which might have been special if the appellant had desired it. After hearing counsel for the appellant, the Lord Chancellor said he saw no sufficient reason given for disturbing the decision of the Court of Session on the bill of exceptions. His lordship affirmed the decision of the Court of Session, and dismissed the ap peal with costs. Lord Brougham, Lord Cranworth, Lord Chelmsford, and Lord Wensleydale entirely concurred. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT OF A " GENTLEMAN."—Wm. Fowler, 65, a gentlemanly-looking man, was charged with scandalously indecent conduct in Hyde-park, in presence of some females, on Saturday evening. The case was proved by Browning, park constable, in a very clear manner against the prisoner, and his evidence was further confirmed by a female, who in answer to Mr. Beadon, said she believed the prisoner did it for the pur pose of annoying females, and also that he was the same person who had acted in a similar manner a month pre viously in the same place. The prisoner, who gave the address of 51, Wigmore• street, and said he did nothing but " amuse himself with drawing and painting," put several questions to the wit nesses, but with no effect. Mr. Beadon said it was one of the most disgraceful cases ho had ever heard, evidently done with the view of insult ing and annoying females, and he should commit him for three months with hard labour. Browning said he knew nothing of the prisoner, but ho answered the description of the person complained of. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

THE CONDEMNED MURDERER IN NEWGATE.— The prisoner, Samuel Adams, who was convicted at the last sessions of the murder of his wife's sister, still remains in Newgate, awaitin g th e execut i on of the sentence. When he was first admitted to the gaol he exhibited a very morose and sullen disposition, and did not appear to be in any way affected at the dreadful crime he had committed, but since his conviction it is satisfac tory to state that he has shown a more becoming demea nour, r.fle nour, and pays attention to the religious exhortioiLs!..tner. Rev. Mr. Davis, the chaplain, who is with him a able time every day. The prisoner is very much deformed, having two club feet, and it appears that some years ago he received as i n j ury on t h e h e ad, the consequence which was, th a t w h en h e d ran k spirits, it rendered of ndered him almost a m a d man and har dl y con scious of what he did, and there is no doubt that he committed the act for which his life is forfeited while in one of these paroxysms. The sheriffs have now entire responsibility course of ity o f fixing the usualthe day for the execution, an d according to allow ing two Sundays to -intervene between the conviction an the carrying out the sentence, the execution_ will take plat on the 4th of July. A copy of the depositions has been for warded to the Home Secretary, and he in reply s tated this he did not consider there were any circumstances in the ca that would justify him in interfering, and that the law must consequently take its course. SP ORTIN a NOTES, A BATCH OF PREDICTIONS. The past week's racing was scarcely remarkable I for one important incident. Hampton had more riot and confusion and worse racing than ever, and Newton was characterised by a quiet ness which was fully appreciated by the genuine turfite. The Cockneys' holiday obi Moulsey Hurst must have proved a very pay ing speculation to the lessees of the ground, who got nearly as much money out of the Selling 'Races as they contributed towards the promotion of the sport. They distributed about £3OO amongst the different stakes, and I heard a well-knowii clerk of the course declare that he would give £l,OOO a-year for the ground, and one stake alone which sholdd be worth £500! No fault, however, must be found with the Hampton ites for turning an honest penny. People do not visit the Hurst so much for the sake of the racing. as for the fun and hilarity of which it is alwaYs_ the scene. Many horses that should be doing battle in the North will be serving in the South during the current week, and, despite the great distance which separates the Hampshire Gathering froM the Newcastle Meeting, the clashing of them must produce a prejudicial effect on the sport on the banks of the Tyne. It is to be regretted that, by an invariably inconvenient fixtare, Southern turfites have been prevented from experiencing the hearty love of racing and the hospitality which characterise the inhabitants of Newcastle. They alone are sufficient to compensate one for a long journey solfar due North. The programme presents its usual attractions, and it will furnish sport enough to amuse and interest the hardworked miners in the coal district. Indeed, the race authorities are ever watchful over the popularity of their meeting, but, to bear testimony to the vigilance which they exercise with respect to the welfare:of their gather ing, would be a veritable carrying of coals to New castle. The Members' Plate has a large entry, and may produce a good race. Hesperithusa seems to me to be the best of the top weights, and Volatile the most trustworthy of the three-year-olds. I shall be inclined to select Lady Falconer for the Tyro Stakes, albeit Lanchester, who has been backed heavily for the Derby, may be in her way. If Summerside be intended for the journey to Newcastle I shall place my hopes in her for the North Derby. Sir Charles Monck always likes his horses to run at Newcastle, and he may, therefore, send Gamester for this race, and in the absence of the Oaks winner, the red jacket with white sleeves may be successful. For the Licensed Victuallers' Plate it is some what difficult to select a trustworthy champion, but, with a start, I shall place my interest in Northum berland Duchess and The Gem. John Scott's stable always furnishes a formidable champion for the Northumberland Plate ; but it does not always justify the very sanguine expec tations which are placed in it, as witness the over throw of Vindex, Warlock, and others. On this occasion the Whitewall certainty is Hepatica— who is not, according to my information, as good as she was last year. Acting on this belief, therefore, I shall select Burgomaster and Bank rupt. With the Gold Cup I shall pledge success to Hesperithusa. The sports in Hampshire will be pleasantly inau gurated at Odiham to-morrow, and the alteration which has been made in the time of holding the meeting is most judicious. A successful game at skittles may be played for the Dogmersficld Plate. For the Odiham Handicap my preference is for the Princess Royal and Conductor, and the Hurstbourne Plate I shall assign to Emily. The racing at Bibury and Stockbridge I shall reserve for discussion until to-morrow. A FRESH MAN. ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB. On Saturday one of the chief matches of the season was sailed over the usual course from Erith to the Nore and back to the starting point. This was what may be fairly called a double event. There were two prizes. One the open prize, which is contended for by yachts of comparatively high tonnage, but we believe free to all. The other the Broadwood prize, for craft of a smaller class. For the first prize the competitors were cutters. The Amazon, 46 tons, of London, belonging to Mr. J. H. Johnson • the Mosquito, 59 tons, of London, owned by M r.i J. Turner; the Mini, 68 tons, of Cowes, Mr. F. R. Magenis owner ; and the Osprey, 59 tons, also of Cowes, the property of Colonel R. W. Haly ; and th e schooners Wildfire, 59 tons, of Cowes, and Vestal, 74 tons, of Southampto n , be longing respectively to Mr. J. Turner and to Mr. F. 0. Marshall. The Broadwood prize was contested wholly by cutter-rigged vessels, including the Zayde, 25 tons, of London, Mr. G. Evans, owner ; the Delta, 21 tons, of London, Mr. W. H. Hartley, owner ; the Chimera, 19 tons, of Teignmouth, Mr. Sanderson, owner; the Whisper, 21 tons, of London, belonging to Mr. W. nudge ; and the Violet, 9 tons, of Har wich, owned by Lord De Ros. The weather was delightful ; there was wind enough to temper the intensity of the sun's rays, with those occasional gusts or " capfuls," as the sailors call them, which call for some display of seamanship, and add to the excitement of the race by constantly varying the chances of success. The contest for the first prize was, however, wholly confined to the Osprey, the Mosquito, and the Amazon, which long before rounding the buoy at the Nore showed their superiority. On the return the Osprey very soon took the lead, and ultimately came in the winner by fourteen minutes. For the second prize it can hardly be said to have been a match at all. The Whisper took the lead almost immediately after starting, was never over hauled, and won as she pleased. There were three steamers engaged by the club to accompany the match, which were crowded with members and their friends. EMBEZZLEMENT BY A STATION MASTER AT CANTERBURY. On Saturday morning George Roles, station master, in the employ of the South-Eastern Rail way Company, at Canterbury, was placed at the bar at the Guildhall, before the Mayor and Alder man Brent, and Mr. E. Holtham, on a charge Of having embezzled certain monies, the property of the said company, his employers. It appears that the prisoner has filled the office of master of the Canterbury station for the past three years, and that latterly his , habits. have been somewhat irregular and expensive, and he has suf fered from attacks of delirium tremens ; but nothing transpired when he n itiv affectingas discoveredhis honesty tha until accused c fueswe days had' as since, misappropriated the monies of his employ_ers, but he had in the meantime left the city, and G w l as o e n n l d y . apprehended on. Friday evening Independently of the deficiency inh* at rat'seswith thiff company+, it is said that he has applied toown isaccoun his purposes money benevolently subscribed in behalf of a poor widow, whose husband lost his life in the service of the South Eastern Railway Company, on the Whitstable line, about six months s ince. About £5O was subscribed by the servants on the railway for this poor woman, but not one farthing of this amount, it is said, ever reached her. The first witness called was John Nerling, the cashier of the locomotive department of the South Eastern Rail way, who deposed that on the 15th March last he sent an account (which was produced) for £6 19s. Bd. for breeze, to the prisoner, to collect the amount. It was his duty to collect the money and pay it over to the locomotive superintendent of the Ash ford Works. No money had been paid on account of that bill, nor had the witness received anything from the prisoner since the 15th of March. William Clayson, in the employ of Mrs. Beard, brickmaker, Vauxhall, Canterbury, proved paying the prisoner a check (produced) for £6 19s. Bd., for breeze, about seven o'clock one evening during the month of March. The defendant gave him a receipt for the money on the bill (produced).—James Cudworth, locomotive superintendent, proved ; that he had received no money from the accused since the 15th of March. Sergeant Moyes, detective officer, in the service of the South Eastern Railway Company, spoke to apprehending the prisoner at Gravesend about six o'clock the previous evening. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said he had been very ill for some time and unable to attend to things at the Canterbury station, but if time were allowed him he could make arrangements so that every thing would be satisfactory. He left Canterbury not to avoid being apprehended, but for change of, air.—When asked if he wished to put any ques tions to the witnesses, the accused said—l did not take the money feloniously. What the witness has said about my leaving Canterbury for change of air is quite correct. I was advised to do so by Mr. Holtham.—The prisoner was remanded till Monday in order to afford the company's solicitor time to complete the charge. THE NAVY. The Osborne, Royal yacht, Master-Commander G. K. Bower, whose arrival at Portsmouth frqm. Lisbon we• reported in The Sun of Saturday, It Lisbon.on the morning of Tuesday last, She had. a stiff breeze as far as Cape Finisterre, under which she anchored at 11 a.m. on the Wednesday until 7 p.m. the same day, when she again proceeded on her voyage homeward, meeting with splendid wea ther the remainder Of the passage. On the day prior to the Osborne's leaving Lisbon his Royal ilighness the Prince of Wales entertained their Majesties tie King and Queen of Portugal, with the_principal dignitaries of the Court, at dinner on board the Osborne. The whole of the upper deck of the yacht was enclosed with canvas, and tastefully , ornamented with designs and the choicest ever greens and flowers from the shore. During the re past the King of Portugal proposed the health of the Queen of England and the Prince Consort, his Royal Highness the Prince.of. Wales in turn pro posing that of their Majesties the King and Queen of Portugal. The band of a regiment of Lancers was on board, and played a selection of music dur ing the evening. After dinner, when the deck was lit up, making a magnificent b a ll- room, the effect was beautiful in the extreme. The Royal paity broke up about ten p.m., and their Majesties left the yacht in their State barge, pulled by 48 oars, under salvos of rockets, the yacht being lit up aloft with blue lights. The Agailemnon, Capt. Thomas Trope, was paid advance of wages at Spithcad on Saturday. We are authorised to state that, the account which has appeared purporting to describe a fire on bord her Majesty's ship Sidon, • in Portsmouth Dockyard, is a gross exaggeration. A small quan tity of hemp " wipings" certainly took fire while being stowed away in the fore stokehole, but a few buckets of water, under the personal superinten dence of Capt. Crawford, sufficed to extinguish it; no damage of any sort was the result. Her Majesty's steam transport Rhadamanthus, Master Commander Frederick Sturdee, arrived at Woolwich on Saturday with stores from the western yards, and; will reload with boilers and steam machinery. The Bryn-i-mor, sailing transport, and the steam ship Peninsula, were on Saturday chartered bythe War Department for the shipment of powder and war stores from Woolwich. The following appointments were made on Sa turday at the Admiralty :—Y. E. Scuelamore, mas ter, to the Dauntless ; A. A. Parks, master, to the Gorgon ; Dr. F. W. Blake, surgeon, to the Clio ; W. H. Willing, second master, to the Dasher ; and W. H. Turner, paymaster, to . the Edinburgh. THE ARMY. Major-Gen. Sir R. Dacres, having returned trom leave of absence, has assumed the permanent com mand of Woolwich garrison, and has taken up the official quarters recently occupied by Gen. Williams, the late Commandant. The East India troopship Trafalgar, 1,100 tons, Commander J. H. Taylor, which arrived in the Thames on Friday from India, with a large num ber of sick and wounded troops on board belonging to cavalry and Infantry regiments serving in Ma dras, disembarked the invalids at Gravesend on Friday evening, when the whole were immediately forwarded to Fort Pitt Hospital, Chatham The troops, to the number of 178 non-commission ed offi cers and men, with 7 women and 11 children, em barked at Madras on the 3d of March, and sailed on the following day, the only place touched at being the Cape of Good Hope, which was left on the 30th of April. The corps on board were the Royal Artillery, Ist (the Kings's) Dragoon Guards, 12th Lancers, Ist (Royals), 43d (Light Infantry), 44th, 60th (Rifles),. 68th (Light Infantry), 69th, and the 3d battalion Rifle Brigade, the whole under the command of Capt. A. W. Cobham, 44th Regi ment. The following officers came home as passen gers in the Trafalgar, on sick leave of absence : Capt. H. H. Smart, Ist Royals; Lieut. Johnson, late Ist Royals ' • Major Harvey, 2d European Ma dras Infantry ; Capt. Harcourt, Capt. O'Neil, who is severely wounded, Lieut. Carnegie, and Lieut. Douglas, of the Madras army, with several clergy men belonging to the East India establishment. The Trafalgar was 11.3 days at sea, during which period the deaths on board were 14, including one man of the Royal Artillery, who suddenly disap peared and is supposed to have either fallen or thrown himself overboard. The 44th Regiment lost seven men from wounds or sickness during the pas sage. The troops complain that during the voyage the rations served out to them were, for the most part, very bad, scarcely fit to be eaten. On the arrival of the invalids at Fort Pitt they were medically inspected by Surgeon-Major Matthew, when 46 were ordered into hospital, and the remainder sent to St. Mary's invalid establish ment to await an inspection by a Chelsea Board. In consequence of but few reinforcements having been despatched to India for several months past, the authorities have determined on sending out nearly 5,000 cavalry and infantry troops to the British regiments serving in Bengal, Madras, and Bombay. Of this number 2,860 men are ordered to embark during the month of July, and 1,450 in the following month, the tonage to be taken up for them by the Hon. Council of India. On Saturday the Clarence embarked nearly 300 troops of various regiments, at Gravesend, for India. A further draught of troops is under orders for India at the camp at Colchester, and is expected to be despatched in the course of the week, Friday being the day originally appointed for their depar ture. In consequence of the arrival of numbers of recruits the camp is now somewhat full, and there are but few unoccupied huts. A " field day" takes place almost every week, and draughts of men con tinue to be forwarded for rifle practice to Land guard Fort, Harwich. The 86th Regiment, now on their passage home from India in the ships Genghis Khan, Kenning ton, and Northumberland, will on their arrival in those ships at Spithead disembark there, and be quartered in the new barracks at Gosport. The King Philip, also expected at Spithead, from India, with the head-quarters of the Ist battalion 10th Foot on board, will on her arrival receive orders to disembark her troops at Devonport. The 9th Lan cers will also disembark at Devonport on their ar rival from India. _ _ The Staff of the few remaining Siege and Field Brigades detailed for foreign stations, in compli ance with the regulations issued for the reconstruc tion of the corps of the Royal Artillery, are under orders to leave Woolwich as follows :—the sth Siege Brigade to sail from Southampton for Gibral tar on the 7th July ; the 6th ditto by the same route for Malta on the 4th •, the 7th on the 9th for Quebec; and the 11th Field Brigade on the 14th for Bengal, accompanying a draught to complete the brigade already there. The Essex Rifles and West Essex Militia have received orders for 21 days' training for the 15th of July, the former at Colchester the latter at ?helms ford. The .

Watkins, M.P., will assemble fortmining on Thurs day next. CRYSTAL PALACE. The directors have just issued their report to be submitted to the eighth general meeting of the proprietors, to be held on Thursday next. The re port states that in consequence of the understand ing come to at the last general meeting, that the accounts should be made up annually to the 31st of October, and presented to the meeting in Decem ber, no accounts are appended to the report, and the directors therefore abstain from any comment on the financial position of the company until the meeting in December next, when they trust to b e able to lay before the shareh olders a sati s f actory statement of the year's working.
