It is only justice to them to add that th )y have behaved perfectly well ever since, end only one complaint has been made to me, by Captain Baillie, of a .xaarine, whom I at once sent to Winchester." The Admiralty, in a letter dated Dee. 5, gives order for a further inquiry into the matter, adding : " It does not appear distinctly clear to their lordships, from aay of the statements enclosed, why the order was given for the men who had been granted leave and were at the dockyard gates to return on board, and who, it appears up to that time had not been guilty of any misconduct or shown any discontent." This inquiry was conducted by Admiral the Hon. George Grey, Captain Gordon, and Captain Hewlett, and the cor respondence closes with the two following documents, their report, and'the:Admiralty's decision thereon : " Portsmouth Dockyard, Dec. 6. " Sir,—ln compliance with your memorandum of this day's date we have the honour to report that we proceeded to examine Captain Baillie,CommAnder .Tosling, and Lieut. Prattent, and subsequently Admiral Bowles, C. 8., Com mander-in-Chief. " And we beg to state that, from the evidence produced, we are of opinion that, leave having been granted to one watch of the ship's company, Captain •Baillie should at once have shocked the unreasonable demand for all or none' among those by whom it was evinced. " We consider that it was an error in judgment his not doing so, and in stopping the leave of the men already on the jetty. There,was also, it appears to us, a wrong impres sion of the state of the case conveyed to the Commander in -Chief, who from his statement appears to have been ignorant of the men having been allowed to proceed to the dockyard gates, and also to have believed from Captain Baillie's statement, that tho spirit of discontent was general to the whole ship's company ; and very naturally, on hav ing it reported to him that the men were not content with an indulgence which has of late been seldom granted to ships paying off, and claimed leave fora all or none,' replied ' Then, none.' " At the same time we believe that an unfortunate mis understanding arose from Captain' Baillie misinterpreting a message fro/nate Commander-in-Chief, relating to a totally distinct case of leave (that of some men who had already broken out, and were in charge of the police), which was the cause of his desiring the men going on leave to be de tained on the jetty. " It is to be regretted that Commander ' josling allowed the men on the jetty to be marched to the gate when his captain had given contrary orders to Lieutenant Prattent ; but we are satisfied from -his statement, and that of the lieutenant, that ho believed Captain Baillie's orders to refer to the men on board. " Captain Baillie explains the discrepancy between his letteir.nd his evidence by stating he was in error in im puting in the former the discontent to the whole ship's company, instead of the men retained on board. " Making every excuse for the diaappointment caused by this unfortunate misunderstanding it is impossible to con ceal the fact that the ship's company throughout the pro eeedings evinced an unreasonable disposition, followed by conduct which nothing can justify.—We have, &c., " GEORGE GREY, Admiral Superintendent. " G. T. GORDON, Captain of her Majesty's ship Asia. " R. S. HEWLETT, Captain of her Majesty's ship Excellent." " To Admiral Bowles, C. 8." Admiralty, Dec 7: " Sir,—My Lords Commissioners" of the Admiralty,. , hav ing received the report of the officers who were ordered to inquire into the circumstances under which leave was granted to the men of the Princess Royal, consider that the apparent di!ccrepaneT which existed betwezn Capt. Baillie's evidence and his written report did not arise from any in tentional misrepresentation. " It is, however, the duty of my Lords to state, that on a review of all the facts conneeted with this mutinous out break, they are of opinion that Capt. Millie has displayed a great want of judgment and firmness in dealing with every circumstance of the case; and my Lords consider further that to his conduct the painful occurrences which took place on board the 'Ship on the 12th'of November, 1859, may be mainly traced, and that he has deserved the grave censure of their Lordships.—l am, &c,, "Admiral Bowles, Portsmouth." " W. G. ROMAINE. NAVAL CADETS AND MIDSHIPIVEN. A circular addressed to all commanders in chief, captains, commanders, and commanding officers of her Majesty's ships and vessels, by Lord Clarence Paget, the Secretary of the Admiralty, has just been promulgated by command of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, who have esta blished the following regulations for the entry of naval cadets, and for the examination of mates, midshipmen, naval cadets, &c., which will come into operation in April next, instead of those now in force : " CADETS. "I. No person will be nominated to a cadetship in the Royal navy who shall be undcr 12, or above 14 years of age, at the time of his first examination. " 11. Every candidate, on obtaining a nomination, will be required to pass an examination at the Royal Naval College at Portsmouth, within three months of nomination.* In the special cases of nomination granted to the sons of natives of her Majesty's colonies a candidate will be allowed to pass a preliminaryexamination on board the flag or senior officer's ship on the station. But such an examination must be passed in strict accordance with these regulations, and should the candidate be found qualified, it will be necessary. that he should be sent to England, to be entered on beard a training ship, where he will be subject to the same regu lations as other cadets. " 111. The candidate must produce a certificate of birth, or a declaration thereof made before a magistrate. " IV. The candidate must be in good health and fit for the service—that is, free from impediment of speech, defect of speech, rupture, or other physical inefficiency. " Candidates will be required— " 1. To write English correctly from dictation, and in a legible hand. "2. To read, translate, and parse an easy passage from Latin, or from some foreign living language. " N.B. The aid of a dictionary will be allowed for these ,ranslations. " Ind to have a satisfactory knowledge of— " 3. The lee ding facts of Scripture and English history. "4. Modern geography, in so far as relates to &knowledge of the principal countries, capitals, mountains, and rivers. To be able to point out the position of a place on a map, when its latitude and longitude is given. „ _ "5. Arithmetic, including proportion, and a fair know ledge of vulgar and decimal fractions. "6. A knowledge of the definitions and axioms of tho First Book of Euclid. "As drawing will prove a most useful qualification for naval officers, it is recommended that candidates for the service should be instructed therein. "V. If the candidate be found unqualified at his first examination he will be allowed a second trial at the next quarterly examination. Should he not pass this second examination he will be finally rejected. " VI. If the candidate succeeds in passing the required examination he will be at once appointed to a training ship for the purpose of instruction in ...the subjects contained in sheet No. I,t as well as in the rigging of ships, seamanship, the use of nautical instruments, &c. " VII. Quarterly examinations will be hold on board the training skip, when any candidate may be examined in the subjects contained in sheet No. 1, and also, in the course of instruction, in the rigging of ships, seamanship, &c. " VIII. If a candidate be foand at the quarterly exami nations not to have made sufficient progress, or if, by in different conduct or idle habits on board the training ship, he shall show his unfitness for the service. it will be the duty of the captain to make a special report thereof to the Admiralty, in order that the cadet may be at once removed from the navy. _ " IX. When the candidate shall have completed twelve months' instruction, exclusive of vacations, in the harbour training ship, he will be examined, and should he obtain a certificate of proficiency he will be discharged into the sea going training ship. " A first-class certificate will entitle him to count twelve months' sea-time. " A second-class certificate will entitle him to count six months' sea-time. " A third-class certificate will entitle him to count three months' sea-time. But should he not obtain a certificate he will be discharged as unfit for the service. " X. On leaving the harbour training ship it is intended that the cadet shall pass three months in a sea-going train ing ship for practical instruction in seamanship and navi gation, whioh period will count for sea-time, and at the end of this period, if his conduct has been satisfactory, he will be appointed to a ship with the rating of a midshipman. port to another, by dead reckoning and by his own observa tions ; and that he can explain the principles of the same ; and that he can also take and work a double altitude and azimuth. "2. A sufficient knowledge of a chart to enable him to place thereon the position of the ship by observation as well as by cross-bearings ; and to lay off the true and compass courses. " 3., Such knowledge of nautical surveying as may enable him to measure a base line and determine positions by angles, and the manner of ascertaining heights and dis tances. " 4. If he has served in a steam vessel an acquaintance with the different parts and working of the steam engine. " 5. A proficiency in French to be attained if he has had an opportunity. " 6. He must be a good practical observer, and his sex tant must be produced in good order. " 7- He must produce log-books kept by himself from the time of his entry into a sea-going ship and certificates of good conduct. "b. He will likewise be examined as to his progress in the knowledge of rigging masts, bowsprits, &c., in getting tops ever and placing a lower cap; in setting up rigging, and especially as to the precautions required in staying lower masts ; in heisting a quarter or stern boat up in a strong breeze with a sea on ; in 'making up a course and topsail for bending at sea; in shifting topmasts, yards, and sails, at see ;. and the effect of the sails on the ship both in tackinrand wearing} in the detail arrangements for mooring and unmooring ships and getting under way, and the use of the hand and deep-sea leads. He must also know the great gun and small arm exercises, the use or tangent sights, the charges for the guns'of the ship, and be able to exercise pie men at quarters. `A 'report of the progress he has made in each of the abane subjects is to be made to the Secretary of the Admiralty ,inthe half-yearly return. " This examination is to be conducted by the officer in command, not below the rank of commander, and the eext senior officer in the ship, and theexaminations in navigation in the presence of a captain or commander, by two naval, instructors, when is may be practicable, or by a naval in struator and a master, or where there is no naval instructor by two masters ; that in gunnery by a gunnery or other competent officer ; and the candidate is to be made to take and work out his own observations for latitude, longitude, variation, &c., as the case may be. First or second class certificates are to be given according- to the merit of the candidate, in the form A, page 8, or he is to be rejected if found incompetent. " XIII. A midshipman, having col apleted his term of service, and being 19 years of age, may be provisionally examined by the captain or commander of such ship or vessel with the aid of other competent officers. lieutenant, master, or second master, when no other ships are present ; and if they find him to be duly qualified they arc to give him a certificate to that effect, dated on the dtay of such examina tion, and'the captain may forthwith give him an acting order as mate ; but he must be re-examneed on the first op portunity that shall afterwards offer Iry three captains or commanders, and if he passes successfully he will receive from the eemmander- in -chief, or seni ar ofCcer, an acting order as mate, to take rank according to the date of the first certificate. " The examining officers are to be most strict in their in vestigation of the qualifications of ofliesrs, and they are to see that everything required by these regulations has been complied with by the candidate, and that ha produces cer tificates of good conduct from captains lie has served under from the time of his discharge from the training ship. " XIV. All acting mates and midshipmen will be required to undergo the following fi na l exam i ne lions . . "1. In Sea mans hi p —O n b oar d the training ship at Portsmouth. "2. In Gunnery —On board the E - .ecellent. "3. In Navigation and the Steam-engine --At the Royal Naval College. Acting mates, who hays alrea-ly passed abroad, are to present themselves for examinatisca, on board the training ship at Portsmouth, at the first examination day after their arrival in England, or after being paid off, and having passed in gunnery they are then at liberty to select either the first. second, or third examination day at the Royal Naval Col lege. " XV. Any officer rejected on his first examination at thf college will incur the forfeiture of three months' seniority in his rank as mate. He then may present himself on the next examination day, but a second rejection will incur the for feiture of three months' more seniority; he may again pre sent himself on the next examination day, bid a third re jection will cause his name to be removed franc the list of the navy. " XVI. Officers, when they have passed thei . x final exami nation at the Royal Naval College, as provide for in these regulations, will be confirmed from the date of their first certificate. The non-appearance of an officer fo r examina tion at the Royal Naval College at the times xequired by these regulations will be considered as an acknrowledgment of his not being qualified, and . he will be dealt; with in the same manner as if he had been actually rejected. on each day on which he may bave omitted to appear, unle as under cer tified ill health, to be duly reported at the time. " XVII. Naval instructors are to keep a school journal, or register, which is to be producted when reqmired by the captain of the ship or the examining officers, and, the captain is to allow them reasonable access to the charts and chrono meters, for the purpose of instructing the officers in their use. " XVIII. The captains of her Majesty's ships are to take care that a convenient place is set apart and proper hours are fixed for instruction by the naval instructor; and all acting mates and acting second masters, as well as all executive officers under that rank, are to attend ; and care is also to be taken that they are regularly :instructed in practical seamanship, rigging, and the steam- sngine, and a monthly examination day is to be established. " XIX. This circular is to come into force on the Isl of April, 1860, and is to apply to all cadets who ixtay enter the service after that date." N.B. A list of instruments and books whicih each cadet will be required to have on entry being the sail e as specified in Circular No. 288, dated Feb. 23, 1857, it is unnecessary to repeat them on this occasion. TE3TIMONIAL TO SIR J. PAKINGTON. WORCESTER, WEDNESDAY EVENING. A large party, including several members of both Houses of Parliament, attended a public dinner held in this city this evening, for thi) purpose of taking part in the presentation of a tcmtimonial to Sir John Pakington, by tke inhabitant a of Worces tershire and others, for his public services. About 200 noblemen and gentlemen assembled at the Guild hall at five o'clock, under the presidency of Lord Lyttelton, lord lieutenant of the county-; and among those present were Earl Beauchamp, Lord Ward, M.P., Westhead, M.P., MSirr.

The testimonial consisted of a magnSfice n t s il ver gilt shield, 40 inches in diameter, and of elaborate design, intended to illustrate those brxnches of the public service to which the right hon. baronet had specially devoted himself—in the colonises, the navy, education, and justice. The shield, which is de signed and modelled by Mr. H. H. Ar misted, was lately submitted to the inspection of H.R.H. the Prince Consort, who expressed his admiration of the design and execution of it. The subject selected to illustrate education is the presentation of the first book printed in England to Edward IV., by Lord Rivers and Caxton. The navy is illustrated by figures representing the death of Nelson ; the colonies, by the landing of Captain Cook upon New Holland ; and justice, by Prince Henry and Judge Gascoigne. There are also portraits of men famous in the admini stration of justice—Lord Lyttleton, Lord Somers, and Lord-Keeper Coventry (all Worcestershire men); in the navy, King Alfred, Blake, and "Nelson ; and for maritime discovery, Drake, Cooke. and Frank lin ; in education, King Henry VI., Cardinal Wol sey, and Sir Thomas Bodley. The miler border of the shield is decorated with acorns amid oak leaves, and in the border is the following :—`c Presented to the Right Hon. Sir John S. Pakington, Bt., G.C.8., M.P., by the county and city of Worcester, in grate ful recognition of hie services for 20 years as chair man of the County Quarter Sessions."' The shield also illustrates. his public career as First Lord of the Admiralty.

THE CASE OF THE PRINCESS ROYAL. The official correspondence on this subject has been published. In a despatch dated Victory, Portsmouth Harbour, Dec. 13, Admiral Bowles thus narrates-the circum stances preceding the riot:— "Soon after her Majesty had quitted the yard Captain Baillie came to me and reported that his ship's company were very eager and anxious to be allowed leave to go on shore, and much dissatisfied at its being withheld. (I shenld remark that this was the first application to me on the subject.) I asked him if he felt sufficient confidence in his men to answer for their returning to their work steadily on Monday myself told him Imorning; would t take e d an his replying the on r i po n n th s e ih a il it ity rm o a f tivel per mitting one watch to go on shore •„i s a s ut he returned in a short time to report that the whole crew were in a very ex cited state, and highly dissatisfied at any of them being saw them that, as fikaempt and on decisive, I immediately siv . e,and dirett him directed to thatinf it was time to be they were so unreasonable in their demands, and so unwill ing to accept the limited indulgence which the custom of of ths men pre viously service authorises, I should revoke h given and grant no leave at all, andte permissionsuch as had already been improperly allowed to quit the ship were directed to return."

STAMPED, SD. SPAIN AND MOROCCO. (From the Times' Special Correspondent.) CAMP IN FRONT OF CEUTA, DEC. 10. The skirmish which was comMencing yesterday morning :When. Isent off my letterlasted until dark, but was not of sufficient importance for a detailed account of it to be interesting, out of Spain. These small fights occur every two or three days. and since I first arrived here they have been invariably provoked by the enemy, excepting on the 12th inst., when General Prim brought on an affair. The Moors advance firing and menace :air line, and, of course, we are obliged to repulse them Their ob ject is probably only to harass us, for they cannot expect, with the forces they present, to gain an ad vantage' over those we have. We•hadjust as soon they kept quiet, for , they give us trouble and cost us men, and there is no profit and little glory to be gained. Yesterday a sort of strategical idea seemed to have struck them, but it was so clumsy a one, a mancouvre so easily detected, that, if they expected it to succeed, they must have an exceed s ingly low opinion'of Spanish intelligence. They brought down about 800 to . 1,1300 cavalry, appa rently expecting that the attack of their infantry would tempt us-out of our lines to ground where the horse could act. Of course they were dis appointed; our artillery drove away the cavalry, and the musketry fire nearly. ceased for an hour or two, but breezed up about 3 o'clock and lasted till night. The shots were rather king, but, neverthe less, some of them told, and we had upwards of 100 killed and wounded. In the early part of,the day . the Moors planted a flag on an eminence consider ably in our frott, and it is supposed there was sortie General or great personage among them, whose banner it was. The evening skirmish was oil an eminence in front of the Isabel 11. redoubt (right of all), a hill' the . summit of which is a long level ridge. :At the further extremity of the ridge a nutnist+ 7- of pieces of rock end large stones afford cover to Moorish sharp-shooters.' It is a very favourite position of theirs, and I call it Tombstone-hill, in order to, distinguish it.• At one end of the hill the Spanish skirmishers lay down upon the slope which runs down into the valley immediately in front of the redoubt; their object was, not to fight, but merely to hold the ground until night, so they kept just below the brow, and returned the enemy's fire only occasion ally. Their practice while thus recumbent did not do them much credit, and I understand they are not accustomed to fire in that posture. A rifled four-pounder on the redoubt ,occasionally sent a shot amen e.• the Moors and set some of them running, but upon the whole they stood 'their ground very stoutly, and some of them gave proof of great cou rage, advancing singly along the ridge until they caught sight of the first Spaniards posted below it, when they discharged their espingardas and re treated.. Ifthey had had better shots to deal with, not one of those .who played this hazardous trick ought to have returned alive to his friends. One or two only were hit, and two or three of their comrades made gallant efforts and exposed them selves very much to. carry them off. These small incidents afforded some amusement to the lookers on, who could not, however, but think it dearly purchased when they saw sundry pool• fellows, in cluding two or three officers, carried by wounded, and some deal bodies taken to the rear in blankets. As to the loss of the Moors it were idle to hazard conjecture. although it is the fashion here, as in .nost armies under similar circumstances, to make Them—the loss of the enemy being, of course, always -stimated greatly to exceed our own. It is pro hable, however, that the Moors do generally suffer considerably more than the Spaniards, for the simple -eason that the latter have artillery and their op ponents have not. In the early part of yesterday the rifled mountain battery of Major Lopez Domin guez, a cousin of Marshal Serrano, made acme good practice, and must have been unpleasant to the doors. While fighting, even when only exchanging long :hots, the Moors keep up a most hideous howling and shrieking, vituperating their enemies in bad Spanish, and making the mountains redound with the often-repeated epithet of " perms" - (dogs). To this the Spaniards condescend not to reply, except with bullets, although in the civil war it was no un usual thing to hear Carlist and Christina skir mishers &bilging each other, and especially indulg ing in 'unhandsome reflections upon each others' Sovereign. During the lull in the middle of the day, when there was almost a cessation of firing, the Com mander-in-Chief rode to our extreme left to visit the corps of General Pros . do Olano, which has esta blished its camp in a picturesque recess of the shore, formed by two wooded hills that slope down towards each other's base almost into a dell. The tents are pitched with much regularity ' • the sur rounding cork trees afford abundant fuel, and last night the place *as in a blaze of light from the camp fires. The nights., and especially the early mornings for two or three hours before daybreak, have now'become so cold that it is most fortunate that wood is plentiful hereabouts. On O'Donnell's arrival the corps was drawn up to receive him, the band playing the Marcia Real (which has become the Spanish national air since the follies of the Progresis:a party disgusted people with Reigo's hymn and other Liberal melodies) ; some battalions were in advance, with skirmishers thrown out, as a little firing was still going on, and the enemy visible on various points at no great distance from our line. The sun shone brightly, and the cov dceil was good, as was also the appearance of the troops. The corps is said to be about 11,000 strong. This morning General Prim went out with his division, consisting of seven battalions, over the hills on our left ,along shore, to protect the men working at the continuation of the road, which is to be completed as far as the level beach in the direction of Tetuan. With him went a battalion of engineers and another of artillerymen, who are to cut the road. The move is to a considerable distance beyond our lines, but the Moors have made no attempt to molest the Spanish troops, which were protected in the early part of the day by two steamers and a gunboat. The enemy has a whole some dread of the fire from the ships. Other roads are in progress connecting the redoubts, and it is probable that when the next skirmish occurs the wounded will be conveyed along them to the shore, and sent off in boats to vessels waiting there. It will be a shorter and easier transit than taking them through the tedious wind ings of the fortifications into Ceuta, and it will, moreover, serve as practice previous to the ship ment of-wounded in the fighting we may expect as we proceed along the coast to Tetuan. Up to Ca[ e Negro it is expected, as I think I have already men tioned, that there will be small difficulty or opposi tion to our march, but there the ground again be comes difficult (it is said that there is a deep and rugged ravine), and we may possibly have to form an entrenched camp and abide there until the en gineers have overcome obstacles. Meanwhile we are menaced with a change of weather; the sailors predict rain, which would retard our operations, and probably increase the amount of sickness, lately sensibly diminished under the beneficial influence of a few fine days. The transitions here are great and rapid ; to-day, at 2 o'clock, the sun was so hot as to render exposure to it, when in exercise, by no means pleasant ; it is now half-past 4, and one is very glad to put on a warm greatcoat, even under the shelter of a tent. Of our life in camp there is not much to tell you that would have the charm of novelty. Of the hardships aril pleasures (the latter not numerous), the disagreeables, the shifts, and the fun of that mode of existence you heard much, even to the minutest details, during the still recent compaign in the Crimea, and now to enlarge upon them would be but to repeat a thrice-told tale. With fine weather, things are endurable enough for persons not over delicate ; wind and rain sadly mar our comparative happiness. Here only for a few days, it is not worth'while to do many things which would contribute to comfort and greatly improve our con dition. We rough it, and hope for an early move, a successful fight, and a period of repose at Tetuan. Ceuta having within the last few days been made a free port, except for articles of estaneo (Government monopoly), such as tobacco and salt, supplies begin to improve, although as yet but slowly. A restaurant has just been opened at head-quarters of the productions of which I can not yet !Teak from personal knowledge, but which, I am assured, far s ur p asses i n the pr i ces, al though not in the qmility, of its dishes, the Freres Pro vencaux or the lamented Verroy. I suspect its habitues will not be nummpus, for the Spanish officer is generally frugal, and sets no great store by the pleasures of the palate. Generally speak ing, as far as I have observed, the officers Bless to gether in small groups, a tent forming but a limited dining-room, and nearly the largest of those we have here being pretty well crowded with half-a dozen persons. Tables, too, are rather a difficulty, since we brought little furniture with us, and have not as yet had opportunities of borrowing any from Moorish palaces.

I suspect the majority are_ wrapped en their blankets; rugs, or cloaks between 9 and 10, and -to sit up habitually till 11 would almost suffice to give one the reputation of a "fast man." The night here is not the pleasantest part of the 24 hours. The best canvas is impotent to exclude the fresh breezes that sometimes whistle over this nook of Northern Africa, and lucky is he who sleeps so soundly as not to be pretty fa quently awakened by the cold. I speak of those situated as the great majority are here, not of a very few fortunate and foresighted individuals who have spared nothing that can conduce to comfort, and who may almost be said to carry, snail-like, their homes upon their backs, or at least upon the backs of their sumpter mules. I know one officer, for instance—on a core ner of whose, tent I detected the well-known name of Edgington—whe nightly tucks himself into a bed than which, barring sheets, a more comfortable he could hardly have in his house at Madrid. But he is one in a hundred, and the great majority, Gene rals included, are content with much rougher Ouches. More or less well or ill e the night passes; one's slumbers only occasionally broken by a chilly blast, the tramp of a relief, by an escaped mule running up against th e t en t, or b y.t h e b ay i ng of sundry dogs who have attached themselves to the army, and apparently intend going through the campaign. At 6 o'clock it is still dark night, but sleep is at an end for all whose repOse is not proof against.every variety of noi se . Th e man - o f- war i n tae harbour has hardly fired the morning gun when aesolitary trumpet, which, in the stillness that pree yails, seems sounded within a foot of one's tent, clangs out a call. Sometimes its notes are a little false and languid, as if the trumpeter were still half asleep and felt a compassionate hesitation in rousing his comrades. No sooner does it cease than e brass band—a eharangrt, as it is expressively called— . Strikes up the diana, the reveille. The next regi ment takes it up, and the next, and the next, till the whole camp is din and clamour. Harmony , there is none ; infantry, cavalry, and artillery each sound their own particular tune, and the three, each of which alone would be pleasing. blend into ear splitting discord. Quick, high, sharp, no other music, no roar of cannon, no uproar of any kind, could - so effectually achieve the purpose of awaking people. The crash of the brass seems to strike into • the very inmost recess of the ear, to act upon every fibre in one's frame, and not only to awaken, but to force one to rise. It turns one out of bed as effectually as .a pail of cold Water on a frosty morning. Up you jump, as if galvanized, and, as au indispensable pre liminary to moving in the close packed tent, the servants are summoned to clear away the beds or such substitutes for them as there may be: These obstacles to egress removed, and on the principle - that a plunge is less trying than gradual entrance, you rash out of the tent in the attire in which you have slept, whi c h i s genera ll y , pretty nearly the same in which yo u p asse d t h e prev i ous day. It., is as good as a cold douche, and mcst effectually removes any slight somniferous cobwebs the abo minable blasts of the brazen musicians may have left about your eyes and brain. - The stars are shining brightly ; the 'moon casts her h. ,ad clear light over sea and mountain ; here and there in the • different ,camps. and guards wn.tehfires are still blazing, the ftgores of the soldiets around them standing out dark against the flame; down in the bend of coast south of Ceuta a steamer floats motionless and seemingly deserted; a few officers on guard, or early rising aides-de-camp, pace rapidly up and down, wrapped in their cloaks, and with cigars in their mouths, looking grim and blue ; servants are already hurrying about lighting fires in their alfresco kitchens to prepare their masters' early cup of chocolate or tea; here stance my luxu rious friend, he of the Sybarite bed, in the flannel trousers and jacket iu which he habitually sleeps, looking as if he were going out to play at cricket, and with a fur cap on his head as if he had just returned from a visit to the Esquimaux. He seems to find it more chilly than pleasant, for he quickly vanishes again beneath the Edgington marquee, shouting for Antonio and hot water. And, as a little of this temperature is enough, you soon follow his • example, the tent, which you were cursing for its coldness ten minutes ago, now seems delightfully - warm, a perfect conservatory in comparisson with the outer air ; and you proceed to struggle against the difficulties inseparable from dressing by the light of a single candle or dim lamp, and of shaving with water Just a quarter of a degree above the freezing point—if shave you do, which many here do not, or do it but rarely—and you, probably, while going through these unpleasant operations, heap maledictions upon your own head for ever having been idiot enough to be tempted by hope of glory, or love of lucre, or an Irish penchant for fighting or a truant disposition, or any other inducement whatso ever, to come out to Barbary in the winter season and associate yourself with such an insane, Quixotic business as this crusade against the infidel. By. the time you aro dressed, however, and have swal lowed that minute calker of brandy as protection against the morning mist, or to keep off the cholera, or because your doctor recommends it, or perhaps merely because you like it—and smoked that media regalia, and washed as well as you can in a tent 11 .feet square at the base, and in which three persons sleep, and inveighed a little (of course without ex pletion) against those fellows who sat smoking so late last night, and converted your horsehair mat into an ashbox and spittoon, you find on looking out that the sky is brightening and the stars are gradually fading away, and there are red streaks in the East and good promise of a fine day. Where upon you begin to feel blander, and less disposed brutally to assault the first fellow-creature who comes in your way, and you say a civil word to the young aide-de-camp whom you lately consigned to the keeping of the Evil One merely because, poor fellow, he stands six feet one in his stockings, and has a habit of always getting in your way, and you suspend your savage sarcasms upon him of the flannel breeks and Capuan couch, and begin to won der whether there will be any letters for you by the morning post, and whether the Itforitos (little Moors, as they are here affectionately termed) will afford any sport that day, or w h e th er th ey w ill re main in their earths and sulk, and you order your horse to be in readiness to go into Cease, or out to the lines, as circumstances may dictate. And so each day passes, with little to vary the monotony of skirmishing, shiftmaking, and speculating as to the coming events of the campaign. DEC. 17. Just after 12 o'clock last night firing was heard upon our extreme left. There was a pretty general turn out of officers, although here, at head-quar ters, we are a long way off, and tnere could be no immediate menace to us. So the troops were left quiet. On stepping out of my tent, wishing any thing but good to the restless Moors who thus added to the difficulty, already not small of getting a good night's rest, I saw the bright flashes of small arms spangling the darkness at two points of the front of Ros de Olano's camp, one looking towards the mountains and the other down by the beach. The firing, however, lasted but a very short time, and may possibly not have proceeded from the Moors at all, but from our own outposts under the ju st arrived, of a false alarm. That corps has only arrived, and the men are quite new to the work. Such alarms, however, ere not without their uses, as accustoming the soldier to the more serious ones he may hereafter have. At the same time the out posts should be cautioned against firing-until they are sdre there is a sufficient cause, for the army has plenty to fatigue it without having its sleep un necessarily broken. This morning all is quiet as yet (10 o'clock), but the skirmishes do not in general begin quite so early, the Moritos apparently thinking that siz hours' activity (from 11 till 5) is Sufficient. We have as yet had five skirmishes, two, at least, of which may merit the name of little combats. The dates are the 25th and 30th of November; and the 9th, 12t1?, 15th of December. I do not reckon - the trfiing affairs that took place within the first five days of the landing of the fi rs t corps un d er General Echague who is now, 1 am glad to sat, nearly well of his wound, and was out with the Staff on the 15th. I have not the exact number of our losses, but they cannot he less than 1,200 killed and wounded. They are published regularly and pretty correctly in the Madrid papers. In the anir of the 15th seven officers were wounded besides three or four con tused. The wounded, I learn from the doctors, were ander 100, but from what I saw I should think the proportion of killed rather larger than usual. This is a gray cold day, and I fear the weather is sickening for rain. It feels almost cold enough for snow, but I believe that hardly ever falls here, except on the mountains. WEDDING AMONGST E.ITINS.—On Monda♦ week, at ten o'clock, a bi-ide and bridegroom made their appearance at the front gates of the old Bethnal-green Church, London, to be married; cud, to their great dm inav, found nothing remaining of the church but the bare wails, not having heard of the fire by which the church has been destroyed. They then went round to the rectory house; where they were kindly received by thecurate, who proceeded to the ruins and wedded the happy pair on the spot where the vestry-room formerly stood.
