His Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge, K.G., as colonel of the regiment, will preside at the banquet, his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, formerly colo nel-in-chief of the regiment, has been pleased to ex press his intention to be present on the occasion. The dinner is appointed to take place on the 19th pros. The following is the number of the reinforce ments ordered to proceed to India from the depot battalions at Chatham, Colchester, Canterbury, Buttevant, and Winchester, to augment the service companies of the infantry regiments serving in the Bengal, Bombay, and Madras Presidencies, viz.:- 80 men of the Ist battalion of the Ist Royals; 210 men of the Ist battalion sth Fusileers ; 46 men of the Ist battalion 6th Regiment ; 76 men of the Ist battalion 18th Royal Irish; 60 men of the Ist bat talion 19th Regiment ; 70 men of the Ist battalion 20th Regiment ; 70 men of the Ist battalion 23d Royal Welsh Fusileers ; 60 men of the Ist battalion 24th Regiment ; 123 men of the 27th Inniskillens ; 75 men of the 34th Regiment ; 98 men of the 35th (Royal Sussex) Regiment ; 186 men of the 43d Light Infantry ; 30 men of the 51st (the King's Own) Light Infantry ; 50 men of the 52d Light Infantry ; 93 men of the 54th Regiment ; 149 men of the 06th , far less dangerous than surf or breakers would be. When it moves about it is afloat, and when afloat there is always water enough beneath it to allow a cable of half an inch or more diameter, to lie un disturbed on the bottom of the sea. The delicate shells, weeds, crustacea, and other animate and inanimate productions which cover the bottom of the Arctic Sea in latitudes fax north of where it is proposed this cable shall be placed, afford the best proof that the bottom of the Northern Sea is a far safer and pleasanter place of sojourn than that surface over which we Arctic seamen have lately so often sailed and laboured. People therefore, when reading our adventures and hair-breadth escapes in wooden vessels upon that Arctic Sea, should take carp not to confound the top with the bottom of those ice-encumbered regions. That there may be some difficulties in the route I do not deny, but I see none that a better knowledge of oceanic telegraphy will not every year render more easily surmountable, or none that engineering and nautical skill will not meet and master. The 1 heavy ice-drift along the coast of Labrador indicates, in my opinion, a. generally deep water coast. Ice bergs would otherwise ground far out to sea, which is not the case ; but beyond that fact we know nothing of the soundings, or of that seacoast of the Can adas. I consider the main difficulty of the North-about roue to lie between the p o i n t a t which about 150 fath(:. ms water will be fou n d on that Labrador shore, ai: d so in to the coa s t. But if anywhere upon the boytom of that sub merged shore of Labrador a line of c:,"eP sea sound ings can be f oun d, with a shallower bay k to the north of it, so as to form a sort of trough r,...nnlng in an east and west direction, there can be hi..fle Tne folio wing letter has been received from Rome dated the 14th inst. :—" The corvette the Immacu late Conception has quitted Ancona for Venice, whence she will bring eight pieces of cannon and 30 horses for the Papal army, a gift from the Duchess of Parma. Other cannon, sent as presents by German princes, are expected, and it is asserted that the King of Prussia is about to send the Pope 3,000 Minie rifles. The Viscount de Villele has arrived in Rome, with his two sons, who have enlisted in the Papal army. The Viscount has had an audience of the Holy Father, who has appointed him a Chevalier of the Order of St. Gregory. The Papal Government had ordered the arrest of M. Tittoni, a brother of Louis Tittoni, who was banished from Rome on the 19th of March ; but M. Tittoni had taken refuge in the French Academy The Director of Police then wrote a letter to the French Ambassador, in which he told him that M. Tittoni had sought shelter at the French Academy, an inviolable sanctuary, and he requested the Ambassulor to indicate some mode of arresting M. Tittoni without violating the asylum he bad chosen. The French Ambassador replied that he had not been a ware that M. Tittoni had sought shelter in the F fl och Academy, but that he would compel him to qu it „ . t. M. Tittoni, who was conscious of not havingmmitted any c r i me , th en surrendered him self to o the governor of the prison of St. Michael. The Roman journal has announced that among'.

Mr. Brent held a second inquest in the Board room of Clerkenwell workhouse on the body of a newly-born female child, which was found in Al. ford-square, Pentonville. In this case a boy, at half-past eight in the morning, picked up a parcel having an ()iter covering of oilcloth, tightly bound and knotted with string. He stood by the palings where he picked up the prize, and being anxious to see its contents, he after much trouble, succeeded in un d9infr, the knots, and after removing the oilcloth, a black aprom, and a sack, he found the dead body of a child. A woman who was watching him from an opposite window desired him to leave the body, the boy complying, and running off to tell his father. On their return to the spot a constable and several persons had assembled and the body was conveyed to the workhouse. Mr. H. J. Brown made a post mortem examination, and found it to be a fine, healthy female child, of full growth, it had breathed, but had been unattended to. The feet were tightly bound up towards its head as though in a bundle, and its nose and face on the left side were flattened, and its tongue protruding, as if the head had been pressed violently against a hard substance. The left parietal bone was also separated soatdeidfrrgoamnitsheed to a occi pital bone, and the brain was fluid state, Decomposition, however, had so far advanced that he could not state whether death was really caused by violence or not.
