The burgh of Hamilton has for the last few days been thrown into a state of considerable excite ment by an extraordinary display of insubordina tion on the part of the West York Militia, at present stationed in the town, by, their refusal to permit a number of their comrades to be appre hended by the police. ,The particulars are as follow : About, five o'clock on Thursday afternoon -last a rape was perpetrated by five privates of the West York Militia upon the wife of a workman residing at the Camp, a village near Motherwell, in the parish of Dalzell. The outrage occurred on the banks of the Clyde, in the same parish, and it is said the woman was under the influence of liquor at the time. Peter Stewart, a constable at Mother well, having on Friday got intimation of the deed, immediately communicated the intelligence to the county police at Hamilton, and instructed by Mr. Mackay, the chief constable of Lanark shire, he proceeded to the camp to see the woman who had been abused, and endeavour to obtain a clue to the perpetrators, but she was not to be found. He, however, found a man, named Johnstone, who had witnessed the occurrence, and accompanied by this person and another policeman, who, as well as Stewart, was in plain clothes, they proceeded to Hamilton to try to identify and apprehend the guilty party. They found three militiamen in the street, one of whom, named Joseph Wilstonholm, Johnstone identified as having been concerned in the rape, and without acquainting them that they were policemen, the latter asked them to enter a public-house to have refreshment. Without suspecting the motives of their entertainers, the three soldiers entered the public•house, and while seated there, one of the burgh constables was secretly sent for, and Wil stonholm apprehended and lodged in prison. In the meantime Johnstone had discovered near the barracks another of the soldiers the party were in search of, and informed the constables. „They went and apprehended him in a• house opposite the bar rack-gate, and lodged him in custody. By this time the two soldiers, who had been drinking with the constable when Wilstonholm was apprehended, had informed their comrades in the barracks of what had taken place. A short time afterwards, a sentry, accompanied by a number of the militia, came from the barracks and broke open the door where the second prisoner was confined, and con veyed him inside the barracks, the gate of which they locked, shutting out the police. Constable Stewart informed Inspector Gibb of what had been done, who immediately proceeded to the captain of the militia,, in the neighbourhood of Hamilton, and in formed him of the occurrence. He and the sergeant major of the regiment at once wen t to the barracks,an sl called out the men for inspection—the police, who were four in number, having at the same time got inside the barracks, as well as the man Johnstone. The latter, when the soldiers were drawn out, singled out one of them whom he identified as hav ing been implicated in the offence, and the captain was about to give him up to the police, when the soldiers, as if animated by a general impulse, broke into disorder, uttered wild shouts, and rushed furiously upon the police and military officers, knocking them down indiscriminately. The first who approached shouted that -Johnstone had struck his wife, and called to the sentry to seize him and lock him up in the guard-room. Johnstone was then caught by a numberof the soldiers and dragged away. There would be ab ou t 200 of the militia engaged in the melee, surroun di ng their com manders and the police, an d ac ti ve ly throwing stones and otherwise assailing them. The burgh officer was severely cut on the back of the neck, Inspector Gibb about the face and legs, and severely bruised about the back and sides. The captain was also pretty much maltreated. Stewart, the constable, though he received a good many blows from stones, escaped without serious injury. He and Wylie, the burgh constable, ran for shelter to the portion of the barracks where some Light Dragoons are stationed, and succeded in escaping the fury of their assailants, About 20 or 25 minutes elapsed before the infuriated soldiery allowed their victims to leave the barracks. In the midst of the uproar the sergeant-major, who fortunately escaped without any injury, hastened to the quarters - of the Light Dragoons, and he se echcd them to come out an d ass i st i n que l l i ng t h e riot. They, however, answered that they were too few to render their services of use. When order was restored it was about six o'clock, and a picket was sent to colle c t th e men outs id e, an d a ll t h e sol diers were then con fi ne d t o b arrac k s. Ab out n i ne o'clock next morning (Sunday) Chief-constable Mackay, accompanied by seven of his men, went to the barracks to demand from the officers the men accused of the crime. The soldiers were drawn up in parade, and the sergeant-major caused the man who had bees rescue d the evening b efore, an d who was in the front rank, to be given up to the police. Four constables took hold of him, as he resisted with all his might to be taken in custody, and he was conveyed to the dragoons' guard-room. There upon the soldiers again rushed from their ranks, knocked down their officers who were standing in front, and broke into the guard-room where their comrade was placed, with a view to rescue him. Their behaviour on thi s occasion was even more ferocious than on the former, and they abused the police-officers in a brutal manner. Sergeant Car michael was severely cut on the head, supposed to have been by blows from the butt-end of a rifle. Sergeant M'Leod was fearfully maltreated ; he was bleeding profusely, and pre sen t e d o ne ma ss o f wounds, two of his teeth were knocked out, and the whole of them were made loose. The soldiers appear to have possessed themselves of the rifles of the dragoon . s when they entered the guard room. On this occasion about 300 men seem e d to be taking part more or less, in the riot, throwing stones being the means they adopted to effect their purpose. Sergeants M'Leod a n d C arm i c h ae l were removed, an d had their wounds dressed ; and Stewart and several of the other constables had to be as sisted from the barracks. The chief constable lost no time in telegraphing the intelligence to the Commander-in -Chief in Edin burgh, and to Sheriff Sir Archibald Alison. The Sheriff arrived in the course of the same day, and the Hamilton Volunteer Rifles, numbering between two and three hundred, were called out, fully equipped and armed, in the afternoon, and remained on duty all night, the one company relieving the other at intervals. Sheriff Alison, the chief con stable, and the Procurator-Fiscal Dykes were busy during the day making inquiry into the affair. About seven o'clock yesterday morning a picket arrived at the police buildings from the barracks, with two of the men who had been identified as concerned in the crime. Their names are William Reid and John Holdsworth ; a fourth, named John Howley, having been brought to the prison on Sunday morning. The Commander-in-Chief ar rived at Hamilton in the course of yesterday fore. noon, and commenced an investigation into the affair, the result of which will likely not be known for some time. The four prisoners were, in the day, conveyed by the train to Glasgow, in charge of the police. The volunteers marched to the railway station, and were there dismiss ull e g d bhe b , e y nn S foo i r r cd A eoa r u c bi h nt i , b cot a hn ld Alison.

The use of this ointment, aided by Holloway's pills, will cure all sores, ulcers, piles, fistulas, and skindiseases. However old, or obstinate to their , power, all eventually yield, The Secretary read the notice convening the meeting, from which it appeared that the object was for considering and deciding on the creation and disposal of a debenture stock to be applied in liquidation of the company's existing debentnres, , and the creation and disposal of the additional share capital (..-C150,000) authorit;ed under the Act of 1859; also for making arrangements with the, Briton Ferry - Floating Dock Cowpony respecting, the completion of their works, and for that purpose guaranteeing a dividend or interest upon part of the share capital of the Briten Ferry Dock Company. Mr. HARTRIDGE wished to know whether the directors had sent any notices of the meeting to the shareholders, there being only nine proprietors pre sent, the directors excepted: • The CHAIRMAN was sorry to say that had not been done ; the secretary had acted in accordance with the Act of Parliament, and advertised the meeting in the usual papers, If the board 'had thought it requisite they would have sent a notice of the meeting to every shareholder. Mr. J. M. PARSONS understood it was a meeting of private shareholders, and had only heard of 'it a short time ago. He considered their railway one of the worst managed concerns. in England. The matters in the notice read by the secretary were of great importance to the shareholders. The CHAIRMAN said they had complied with the requirements of the Act of Parliament. Mr. HARTRIDGE thought the matters proposed to be submitted ought to be considered by the share holders in a proper manner, which could not be done by so small a meeting. He therefore would move that the meeting do now adjourn, Mr. THOMAS, a director, would not object to•the adjournment of the meeting, but thought the board was not to blame in the matter; they believed that the object of the meeting was perfectly understood by the shareholders. Mr. PARSONS thought there was too much negli gence and indifference indicated. It was of indif ference to the shareholders that he complained. The CHAIRMAN said the reason they held the meeting in London was in consequence of a pledge given to the shareholders about 18 months ago, that whenever the question of the Briton Ferry guarantee was submitted the meeting should be held in London. Were it not for the appoint ment of a committee of investigation, this meeting would have been held six or eight months ago. He had no objection to adjourn the meeting, if that was the wish of the proprietors. Mr. HEAD thought the shareholders ought to have some idea of what was proposed to be done, and that the chairman might give them a short explanation as to the views of the Board. The CHAIRMAN said that before the next meeting was held they would send a short report to every shareholder, explaining what they proposed to do, and giving a general statement as to the objects of the meeting. Mr. HOYES wished to know what amount they . proposed to guarantee for the Briton Ferry Com pany. The CHAIRMAN said £40,000 was the amount they proposed to guarantee for the completion of the docks; and he 'wished to state that by issuing the other stock they would not add anything ma terial to their present interest charges. A long eonversation then ensued, in the course of which it was stated that water could be let into the docks within three months from the time of raising the £40,000. 'The docks, in fact, formed part of the original scheme. The traffic of the railway had increased rapidly up to 1857, but, in consequence of the Briton Ferry Docks not being opened, the further development of the traffic was retarded. The closing of the old docks at Swansea had also limited their shipping places. They had no doubt that the completion and opening of the Briton Docks would enable them to double, their traffic. The rent and dues to the dock company would amply cover the proposed guarantee of £2,000 a-year on the £40,000 to be raised. There would be an advantage of about 10d. a ton in favour of shipping at Briton Ferry instead of at Swansea. Vessels of 800 tons burden could enter those docks when completed. The sum of £lOO,OOO lad bun] expended on the Briton Docks, and the £40,000 was required to complete them. The Vale of Neath Company would have 1,000 feet frontage in the docks, which it was expected would greatly facilitate their traffic both in coal and iron ore. It was then decided that a fresh meting must be convened, of which clue notice would be given, and the meeting adjourned sine die. EPPING. Yesterday a special,meeting of this company was held at the offices, Moorgate street, in compliance with the Wharncliffe order, to consider a bill now bafore Parliament for the extension of the railway from Chipping Ongar to Great Dunmow; Mr. Lawrence in the chair. The CHAIRMAN having explained the nature of the meeting, informed the shareholders that the bill had been read a second time in the House of Lords, and was now about to be referred to a select committee; but before it could go through that stage it required the sanction of the shareholders, and he hoped they would succeed in carrying it. The Solicitor having read the marginal notes of the several clauses, On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, the bill was unanimously approved, and the proceedings termi nated. WAVENEY VALLEY. A Wharncliffe meeting of this company was held yesterday at the offices, Lincoln's-inn Fields, for the purpose of considering the provisions of the bill now before Parliament for extending the line from Ditchingham to Beccles. _ _ Mr. itiTsoN having read the heads of the bill, a resolution approving it was carried unanimously. STATE OF TRADE. LEEDS, May 29.—The occurrence of Whitsuntide holidays has had the usual effect upon the cloth markets to-day. There was but a thin attendance of buyers, nor was there a full attendance of clothiers, and a comparatively small amount of fresh goods were brought into the market. The tone of the market was quiet but steady, and, all things considered, there was a fair amount of busi ness done. The operative classes are spending their holidays as if they were in the enjoyment of a full share of the good things of life, but the ungenial character of the weather has prevented many al fresco pleasures. MANCHESTER, May 29.—The commencement of the Whitsuntide holidays was felt in the market this morning, and the attendance on the Exchange, though good, was much less than usual. In yarns there was a rather better feeling than last week, and prices were rather steadier. There was not much business in any kind, which is no doubt partly due to the causes which have lately dis turbed the market, and partly to the holidays. Some kinds of yarns fetch nearly the late quota tions, though these are exceptional cases ; but ge nerally prices for yarns used by manufacturers and for export are rather weaker. In cloths the market continues very depressed; 61b. T-cloths being sold at lid., and 611 b. ditto at 2d. per piece less than the prices 10 days ago. Buyers were offering 6d. per piece less, but at this reduction we did not hear of any sales. Indian shirtings feel the depression more severely. Printers maintain their last quota tions better than most goods, and 36-inch shirtings have undergone but little change. Wherever there is a change, however, it is in favour of buyers. RocIIDADE, May 28th.—There has been a rather quiet market to- day for wools as well as for flannels, kerseys, and other woollen goods. The Whitsuntide holidays has kept buyers away ; hence the quietness in the market. Wools are very firm in price, and there is a little more disposition on the part of.ma nufacturers to purchase. The quotations for nearly all sorts of wool used here show an average advance of nearly ss. per pack as compared with the paces a month ago. The staplers complain that at the London sales French buyers have been extensive competitors, and have given higher prices than they (the home buyers) felt warranted in giving. The new clip, which is looked for with more than ordi nary interest, is likely to command high prices. Manufacturers are well employed, and nearly all the weavers have just got an advance of 2d in the shilling in the woollen mills in the district. Orders are not taken except at an advance proportionate to that of wool and the cost of production. • The Mysterious Power of the Magnet is most beautifully developed .by Mr. F. M. HERRING, of 32, Basinghall-street, in his Patent Magnetic Brushes and Combs, which are the remedy for grey hair, weak or falling hair, neuralgia, nervous headache. rheumatism, stiff joints, &c. His Teazle Brushes for cloth, velvet, &c., are admirable ; they not only cleanse but preserve the fabric in a remarkable manner. The publio are cautioned agiallbt counterfeits.—[lDTT.] asserts that no less than 6,000 of the Irish consta bulary are willing to resign with a view of emi grating to Rome and other countries. About 250 of the county of Limerick force, it is added, have already done so, or are so disposed. "In Clare, Cork, and Kerry, the police have similar inclina tions, and are pro'ing it." Idleness is the root of all evil, and probably the lack of employment for these peace-preservers, and the ennui consequent upon listlessness, may account for the war fever which has infected the green jackets—that is, on the presumption that there is any real foundation for the stories so industriously circulated by the Ultramontane journals. SPECULATION AT FAULT. The calculators on the continuance of the fodder famine, with its consequent harvest of high prices for the overholders of stock, have had their golden visions dissipated by the late change of weather and the present prospect of an abundant hay crop this season. The following passage is extracts(' from an agricultural report in the Northern Whig : " Only a few weeks have passed away since the heralds of sorrowful tidings would have it that half the cattle would be starved to death before the pasture lands possessed sufficient herbage to sup port farm stock, and that hay—then half a sove reign per hundredweight—would be doubled in price by the third week in May. Holders of fod der who put faith in such soothsayings, and held on their stocks, have since learnt the old lesson so often taught before, that refusiig to realise when ample profits are to be had frequently ends in severe losses. One person residing in an isolated district, who was offered a ton of oatmeal for 30 cwt. of upland hay, and would not agree to the proposal, has since sold off his stock of fodder at less than half that rate of value. Another individual who had pntiently looked out for the moderate rate of £l5 a ton for his hay is only able to get one-third of that sum. Speculators in this famine have had their fingers burnt pretty severely. We were told the other day of a large holder of hay in a distant part of the country who had disposed of all he had at an enormous profit; but, thinking the market would go on to advance, he paid the purchaser a handsome sum for what is called a rue bargain, and has still the hay on his hands. Numerous instances of similar errors in calculating the probabilities of markets have recently reached us, and in which the desire to make too much of the scarcity brought pecuniary punishment with it." THE WEATHER. A storm, which would not disgrace either of the equinoctial months, has been blowing since Sunday night, and at present shows no signs of clearing off. The telegraphic wires have been nearly silenced, only worked by fits and starts. Trees in the squares have been shorn of their branches, roofs stripped of their covering, and the whole aspect of the weather has been changed from summer to mid•autumn, or later. The wind is from northwest, and the air cold, almost at the freezing point. EMIGRATION. The Cork Reporter has some sensible observations on the progress of the second Irish exodus, which that journal regards in a great measure as the con sequence of a more adventurous spirit among the people, which leads them to cast their lot in distant and newly occupied lands, rather than apply them selves to the more plodding industry to which they must resort in the home country. " However," adds the Reporter, "We may deplore the loss of our ' bone and sinew,' which are thus taken from us, we must say that we 'cannot take quite the same view of it as some or our contemporaries, as we shall presently explain. The great extension of steam traffic, both by land and sea, has increased largely the facilities of emigration. There are few places in Ireland now which are flr removed from access to one or other, of the great lines of railway that lead to our prin.-, cipal ports. And NVithill a few years several lines of first class Ocean steamers have been brought into ..:ctivity, by which the Atlantic is traversed with wonderful regularity, certainty, and safety, in not many more days than it took weeks by the old sailing emigrant ship to cross it. Md to this that the cost of the voyage is hardly if at all in increased, that its old miseries, which it was painful to dwell upon, are nearly all got rid of, and that it may now bo made respectably and comfortably. Let it be further borne in mind that American lo comotion has advanced with still more rapid strides, while, by the system of 'through-ticket' arrange ments the emigrant can pass, on his arrival, at • once, safely and expeditiously, to the ultimate point which he desires to reach, and it will at once be seen how greatly the temptation to go is increased, for all persons whose thoughts are turned in this direction. Formerly, what was the position of the Irish peasant ? Ito bis farm, small in dimen sions, yet too large ids limited means of turning it to account. On it lie remained, and brought up his family, isolated from communication with the busier world, and ignorant of its ways and of the opportunities it ofk,rs to the active and enterpris ing. All his ambition was to live on his bit of ground,' eat the simple root that it yielded to him in abundance, and as his children grew to maturity to divide the farm into smaller patches, on which they squatted and reared their progeny, in increas ing poverty and with diminishing hope and ambition —if we can use such a word in speaking of such a class. When subdivision of land could proceed no further, leaving the means of support to the dwellers on it, and that starvation was imminent, he looked, as his last earthly chance, to the emigrant ship. In his isolation and in his ignorance one fact had reached him, that somewhere, afar off, beyond an all but boundless expanse of ocean, there lay a • great country called America. If he could make his way to one of the seaports of his own land, he had ascertained that means would be found to transport him to this distant region. More he knew not. Quebec, Boston, New York, Montreal were names, perhaps, that had reached him, but they were mere names to him. He had been told that all were in America--and all were alike to him. To reach any he must journey over land for many days, and must then enter on that appalling voyage—full of pri vation and of peril—of many weeks. But fly he must—fly from ruin and from death. And so he left on his dreary and dreaded exile. Such it was to many of our people, even a dozen years ago. But is it anything like this now ? The National School has familiarised the young peasant with all that it is possible to learn of that great continent, and of the newly-peopled land over which our great em pire extends. The railway is at the door, or a few miles off at furthest. The steamer goes direct from its terminus, and lands him within a fortnight be yond that ocean that seemed so illimitable before. He knows all about the place he wants to go to. There is some struggle with the strong Celtic feel ings at leaving the old land and the old home ; but there have been many sad partings during *he last 15 years, and the Irish nature has grown somewhat used to them. Besides, the educated man minds these things less than the uneducated—we stop not to discuss the good or ill of this, but so it is. The National School, as well as sterner teaching, has made the emigrant's parting easier to him, and he goes to-day with full as much hope as grief. So that altogether his emigration is quite different from what it used to be, and he no longer waits to be driven into exile by the misery which alone would have coerced him formerly, but goes freely, man fully, and with a will '—a spice of adventure giv ing its zest to his more calculating desire to better his condition." ARREST IN THE NORTH. Several accounts from the town of Dundalk announce the arrest there on Saturday of a large number of persons, said t) be implicated in some illegal conspiracy; but whether connected with the old Itiband confederation or the more recent Pkenix plot is not yet made very clear. The arrest was made with such precision and quietness that the townspeople knew nothing of the affair until yesterday evening. The authorities are reported to be in possession of information regarding the ramifications of the conspiracy , and it is added that persons holding rather a r espectable station in lif e are implicated.

The screw steamship Orion, 91, Capt. Frere, at Keyham, has been caulked to endeavour to stop the leak; her shafting is to come out. The screw steamship Hero, 91, Capt. Seymour, in Keyham steamyard, is ready for undocking, and was appointed to be removed yesterday.. The screw steamship Royal Albert, 121, Capt.

Wipff, in Plymouth Sound, which drifted to leeward on Monday morning while attached to a steamtug, was, taken in tow yesterday (Tuesday) morning .by two Government tugs and placed in a more favourable anchorage to the west ward. A Government hulk was in attendance to pick up her anchor and chain cable. ' The following is an extract from a private letter received from her Majesty's steamer Simoom, dated Singapore, April 19 :---"Nearly all the men-of-war and transports from England have passed here and gone on to Hong Kong. The Encounter goes ,on from here in a day or two. We sail to-morrow with two transports and the Snap gunboat in tow. The Vulcan, Commander Strode, arrived. on tie 16th, and will follow on, as well as the Maurititie hospital ship. The Flamer, Snap, and Cockchafer are as yet the only gunboats that have arrived; the last named sailed for China 14 days ago. The Urgent and Melbourne hospital ship are expected daily with five gunboats. Four of the Indian navy are on this station—Feroze, Assaye, Zenobia, and Prince Arthur. The first named has gone to Hong Kong, the Assaye is waiting here for transports, the Zenobia is in the Straits of Malacca, and the Prince Arthur has gone to Calcutta with the 70th Bengal Native Infantry, who were sent to China during the Bengal mutiny. The S.W. monsoon is very late this year, it hardly having set in yet. Several French transports are here, and some have gone on. It is astonishing the number of people (army and navy) whom one meets here as old friends and acquaintances. The principal medical officer of the forces here was surgeon of the 33d Regiment, and came out with us from Dublin. These soldiers get well paid—for instance, a major, who ranks with a commander R.N., gets £1,116 per annum, while the poor commander gets only £3OO ! A captain in the army gets £750, while a lieutenant gets only £180! and the same throughout the re lative ranks. The naval captains have forwarded a memorial to the Admiral to forward home, asking to have their pay increased, like the army, while serving in this country, which would be merely a simple act of justice, it being excessively expensive out here. Some assistant surgeons are getting more pay than post-cap tains. The latter's pay is about £6OO, and a lieutenant-coloncl's in the army varies from £1,500 to £3,000. Really, I think the naval men have a right to plead for more; but it is whispered among us miiitaly Men that Admiral Hope does not ap prove their application." 'llie fullov, ing hired transports have been char tered to ship stores from the military store depart ment at - Woolwich :—The Indemnity, the Alphing ton, the Trent, the Celerity, the Hannibal, the Re liance, the Llewellyn, the -I\Taomi, the Spartan, the Pride of the Sea, and the Point.

Early in June the 3d Light Dragoons, 15th Hus sars, 3d Battalion Grenadier Guards, and 26th Cameronians will march from Dublin to the Cur ragh, there to be encamped. The troops at the Carragh and Newbridge will shortly be—four batteries of Artillery, 2d Dragoons (Scots Grays), 3d Light Dragoons, 14th Light Dragoons (depot), 15th Hussars, 3d Battalion Grenadier Guards, sth Battalion Military Train, 2d Battalion 14th Regt., Ist Battalion 15th Regt., 2d Battalion 16th Regt., 2d Battalion 10th Regt., 26th Cameronians, 4th Battalion 60th Rifles, 96th Regt., Louth Rifles ; leaving in Dublin—One Battery of Artillery, Ist Royal Dragoons, Ist Battalion 22d Regt. (for Malta), 76th Regt., North Lincoln Militia, 2d Stafford Militia. At an early hour yesterday morning the troops belonging to the depots of the 20th, 23d Royal Welsh Fusileers, 31st, 52d Light Infantry, and 73d Regiments, at Chatham barracks, were marched from their quarters to the Ordnance wharf for the purpose of being exercised in embarking and dis embarking from her Majesty's ship Tyne, which has been placed at the disposal of the authorities of the garrison for that purpose. The troops were conveyed to and from the vessel in the launches belonging to the ships of war in harbour, the em bareations and disembareations being effected with great rapidity. Nearly the whole of the men thus exercised are those who are about proceeding to India. The garrison orders of Monday at Woolwich contained a memorandum, directing the officers in command to assemble on parade the brigades of Royal Artillery, the squadron of the 10th Hussars, and the militia regiment of Norfolk Artillery, at 9 o'clock a.m., with camp equipage, &c., in readiness to march out to D a rtford-heath on a trial of Capt. Grant's ambulatory and other cooking apparatus, and also to test his new method of roasting coffee over the top of one of his pontoon boilers. In con sequence of the bad weather the order was counter mended, and the experiments are fixed to take place on Friday next. The Suffolk Militia Artillery, under the command of Lieut.-Col. A. Shafto Adair, Aide-de-Camp to the Queen, We re o ffi c ially inspected yesterday a t Portsmouth by Col. Fitzmayer, commanding the Royal Artillery in the south-west district. At 3 p.m. the men were marched out to Southsca Castle, and made practice with shot from one 24-pounder gun, two 32-pounder guns, and two 68-pounders (95 cwt. guns), the latter throwing solid shot at 1,900 and 2,000 yards' range. Shell practico was also made at 1,000 yards from a 65 cwt. 8-inch gun, on the south-east advanced work of the Castle. The result of the firing was excellent, notwith standing a strong breeze prevailing at the time, and which compelled the gunners to make a consider able allowance for the deflection of the shot from • the true line of flight.
