The general scheme and objects proposed to be embraced by this Company may be thus described, viz. :—The con struction, maintenance, management, and working of such works of irrigation, water transit, and .water sup- Ply in India, with their auxiliary undertakings as may, from time to time, be found to be of a profitable character, after the necessary sanction of Government has been secured to each project. The works selected for first operations, and intended to be immediately entered upon, have been examined by en gineers of the highest attaintments and Indian experience, Who urgently recommended them for construction by Go vernment as being, in their opinion, amongst the most important, and in promise the most profitable of their character in India. These works will consist of : Firstly,—lrrigating and Navigable Canals, with all sub sidiary works throughout the rich and extensive alluvial Deltas of Orissa and the adjoining districts, receiving their supply from the copious and never-failing waters of three great.rivers, .the Mahanuddy, the Byturny, and the Brah many, which, with their affluents, intersect and command the trade and commerce of countries, together much larger in extent than England and Wales, and abounding in agricultural and mineral wealth. The land in Orissa alone, capable of being thus affected, is estimated to amount to about 2,000,000 acres. Secondly,—A main Irrigating and Navigable Canal, con necting the above works and districts with the port and city of Calcutta, starting from Balasore and passing by Midna- Poor to the Hoogly River, opposite to Calcutta, with all subsidiary channels necessary to irrigate about 2,500,000 acres of good land contained in the surrounding country. The present Secretary of State for India, in Council, in March last, addressed to the Government of India an official communication calling attention to the im portance of constructing these works, and stating that her • Majesty's Government were prepared to carry them into effect as soon as the plans and estimates were approved by the local Government. A desire to see an unguaranteed Company established led, however, he states, to their con cession to this Company. The main sources of profit will be : Pirstly,—The sale of water to the Government for the irrigation of land. Secondly.—Tolls levied in respect of the use of the Canals and Water-ways by the public. To these may be added as available but subsidiary means of alditional returns :- I.—The working of the Canals by the Company by the conveyance of Passengers, Animals, and Goods thereon. 2.—Rent and other income derived from mills and factories established on the banks of the various channels. 3.—Cultivation and sale of timber and other produce raised upon the land of the Company. And, 4.—The supply of water for general purposes. Although these latter are now put forth as secondary only, they should by no means be lost sight of—the first of them has been already ascertained to be highly productive in India, and by the official accounts of the existing Canals is the North-western provinces of Bengal the profits derived from mills, timber, and bank produce, represent a large per centage upon outlay. It is proposed to limit the issue of capital in the first in stance, to the sum of £1,000,000, divided into 50,000 shares of £2O each, and to take a first deposit of £1 per share Only, with a further payment of LI per share when the final agreement has been concluded ; this will, it is believed, suffice to support effective operations for the first twelve months. Of all subsequent calls, fall and timely notice Will be given to each shareholder. In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to those applicants who are shareholders in the Madras Irri gation and Canal Company, to the extent of the number of shares held by them in that company, and all future issues of shares in England will' be distributed pro rata amongst such of the then existing shareholders in the present com pany as may be desirous of taking them. A full Prospectus and form of applications for shares may now be had upon request at the Company's Offices, 27, Can non .street, E.C., London ; or at the Company's Bankers, Messrs.

A Naples correspondent of the Presse gives some interesting particulars of Garibaldi, received by the writer directly from Alexander Dumas. Gari baldi's disinterestedness is incredible. 'He allows himself 10 francs a-day for his personal expenses— that is his civil list. The other day his trousers accidentally caught fire, and he was much incon venienced for want of a change. He said to Alexander Dumas, "If I were rich I would have a yacht like you," and a moment before he had signed a bill of 500,000 francs for the public service. When Medici was marching upon Melazzo the city of Messina sent him a splendid charger. Bosco hearing of this gave out that he would bring in Medici into Messina a prisoner, and that he (Bosco) would make his triumphant entry into the town upon the horse which the citizens had given to Medici. Garibaldi made Bosco walk on board the ship which was to carry him to Naples, and he had to give up his own charger to Medici. One of the articles of the capitulation was, that the arms in the fortress of Melazzo should be equally divided. IV hen Garibaldi found that the twelve guns which Bosco had left behind were spiked, he went on board the Neapolitan frigate on which Bosco was embarked, and made him send back the twelve sound guns which he was taking away with him. Alexander Dumas has been presented with the freedom of several towns in Sicily. He is about to start a journal in Palermo, with the title of the indipendente. On this subject Garibaldi wrote the following letter : " Melazzo, July 21. "The journal which my friend Dumas is about to publish in Palermo will be called the Indipen dente, a title which it will all the more deserve, be cause the founder will not spare me if ever I should deviate from my principles and my duty as a child of the people. " G. GARIBALDI." There is no confirmation of Garibaldi having shot any inhabitants of Melazzo. There have been, however, two sentences of death. An officer and an engineer of the Veloce (now called the Tuckery), have been condemned for wilfully and traitorously damaging the machinery of the vessel. The cor respondent from whose letter the above extracts are taken says in a P.S. that Alexander Dumas was the bearer of his own communication. He passed a day in the Bay of Naples on his way from Messina to Marseilles. The police civilly asked him to land, although he had no Neapolitan visa on his passport, but he declined. After a hasty trip to icrance ne intends to return to Naples, and he has actually written a letter, inviting a friend to visit him a month hence in apartments which Garibaldi will give him in the Royal palace of Naples. The following (slightly abridged) is Dumas's third letter to General Carini, and very amusing it is, although less gifted correspondents may be ex cused for doubting whether the narration is in all respects literally true. " Bay of Naples, July 31. MY DEAR CARINI,—I don't know when you were in Naples, but you would not know it again. Listen to my narrative—l who had the honour of being sentenced to four years of the galleys by his Majesty King Ferdinand. The Pausilippe had scarcely cast anchor here when crowds of people rushed upon the deck. A man, who probably re cognised me by my looks for a patriot, said, Monsieur, where is Garibaldi? When will Gari baldi be here ? We are waiting for him.' 'I, who know Naples on my fingers' ends, said to myself, This must be a spy,' and I merely replied Non capiseo.' A moment afterwards a gentleman, politely taking off his hat, asked if I was not M. A. Dumas. 'At your service,' said I ; but who have I have the honour to speak to ?" Monsieur, I am a police agent.' I took off my hat in my turn, and said, Monsieur, lam here under the protection of the French flag, and if you come to arrest me----. ' Arrest you, sir. You, the author of Corncob Speronare and Captano Arena ! Why, sir, my children learned to read in your books. Arrest you! What idea can you have of us ? Why, I have your name on the list of passengers, and I felt it a duty to come at once to ask you to land.' Another polite gentleman said that his boat was waiting to take me on shore. ' I beg your pardon, sir,' said I, but to whom am I indebted for this obliging offer ?" I am the commissary of the port; pray, sir, do not refuse me ; my wife is most anxious to see you. Your Monte Cristo was played the other day with the most brilliant success.' Gentlemen,' said I, there are two reasons why I cannot accept your invitation—the first is, that I am under a sentence of four years in the galleys ta, and • if I were to set foot on Neapolin territory —." Ah, sir ! who thinks of any such thing in these times ? If you were known to be on shore you would have a tri umphal reception.' My second reason,' I continued, is, that I promised Garibaldi not to come to Naples till he was there." And when do you think he will'be here said the commissary in a persuasive tone ? Why,' said I, in a fortnight or three weeks at the least.' Oh, so much the better—so much the better,' exclaimed the two police agents simultaneously. Everybody here is impatiently waiting for him.' I could not believe my ears. You know, Sir,' said one of the agents, ' that we received your letter from Melazzo ; it made an im mense sensation ; 10,000 copies were struck at once, and if you were to go on shore now, you would hear it cried in the streets.' I was more and more aston ished. Sir,' said I, since you are so Garibaldien, I will show you something that will please you—a splendid portrait of Garibaldi.' Tears stood in the eyes of the police agent. Oh, Sir ! why, we have nothing but the most villanous portraits of the general, and even those are sold at an enormous price.' Then, I have half a mind to have this en graved, and make a patriotic gift of the engraving to the City of Naples.' But why give it, Sir, when you might sell it at y our own price ?' My astonishment was unbounded. Such, my dear Carini, is the state of feeling in Naples. The very police agents, who hope to keep their places when Garibaldi comes to Naples, are more Garibaldien than even the rest of the people. When the emigrants returned , the ir instructions—instructions given, it is presumed, s ld ib i e le r this sees. is themh ep revolutionsoos by M. Cavour—were to make the revolution without c .. Garibaldi. But it is now seen that made M.

" ALEX. DUMAS." [ADVERTIVEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills.—Eruptive and other Fevers.—Throughout the summer febrile diseases prevail rnore:or less, and the unusual amount of rain has caused a proportionate increase in fever cases. On the first feeling of lassitude, before the thirst and heat of skin set in, the patient should resort to Holloway's pills, which will throw out all fever from the blood awl every organ. For many years no other treatment has proved so efficient in re moving the seeds of these perilous complaints, whether afflicting young, middle-aged, or old. These pills purify the whole system, greatly improve the digestion, regulate the circulation, to t h e minutest vessels of the skin, and cool L that pungent heat which always attends cases of fever. "Beyrout, July 19. " We are favoured by yours of the 28th ult., and in reply to your information that the Sublime Porte had changed some governors, and ordered the despatch of some soldiers to this country, and, in consequence of those measures, hopes were enter tained of a speedy settlement of these disturbances, we beg to say that the fearful occurrences in the mountains against the Christians are totally ab sorbed now in the last events and cruelties at Da mascus. On Monday, the 9th inst., a rising of the Moslems took place against the Christians of that capital, and about 6,000 men in three divisions attacked their quarter, and at once commenced pil laging and murdering, and on the following day Moslems, Bedouins, and Druses of the neighbour hood poured into the town and continued the tragedy. Some Christians took refuge at the house of Abd-el-Kader, others with some respectable Mos lems, and the women and children at the Castle, and at the English and Prussian Consulates which, being Moslem property and in the Moslem quarter, were saved. All the Christian quarter, with the other Consulates, to the numb er o f about 1,000 houses, were pillaged and burnt. On the 12th inst., when they had done with the pillaging and burning of every house, they went into the city, and there ransacked all the warehouses and shops belonging to the Christians, and, according to the last news arrived from Damascus yesterday, pillage and murder continued up to the last date, the 16th inst. The number of killed some calculate at 6,000, and some at more. At the time these horrible deeds began there were about 1,500 regular Turkish troops and as many Bashi-Bazouks, but they never gave any protection to the Chris.. tians, but helped to throw them back into the burning flames when they attempted to escape ; those who are still alive are in danger of meeting their death by starvation. In fine, if we were to write all the details we should require a large volume ; suffice it to say,—God save us ! At pre sent fears are entertained for the Christians in every place,—at Homs, Hammah, Saida, Latakia, Aleppo, Tripoli, Beyrout, Tyre, Acre, Jaffa, Naplous, and Jerusalem,—lest the same fearful crimes should be committed there, as, after these events at Damascus, the Drises and Moslems killed the Christians of Horan and Baalbec, pillaged their property, and forced many to embrace Islamism. About half the population of Beyrout have left for Alexandria, Syra, and other parts of Greece, and even for Russia. Two days ago his Excellency Fuad Pasha, Minister for Foreign Affairs, and his Excellency Halim Pasha, commander of the army of Damascus, arrived, and before them, and in their company, came regular soldiers, sent for the last disturbances in the mountains, as when they left they had not the news of the Damascene events ; so we have about 5,000 in Beyrout, and with the soldiers that went with Mahmer Pasha, the new Governor of Damascus, there will be about 14,000 there ; but no one knows what will happen after wards." The following is an extract of a letter dated Piraeus of Athens, July 23 : " A day or two after I wrote my last letter we received such startling intelligence by telegraph from Syria, that our captain, upon his own respon sibility, steamed off to Beyrout at once. We arrived there about four days afterwards, and found' the Druses, a powerful tribe of Mahomedans, massacreing Christians all over the country, and threatening to attack Beyrout. The Turkish troops were doing nothing towards presenting them, but rather encouraged them, and, in two or three instances, actually took part in killing the unfortunate Christians. The arrival of ourselves,frigate, and a large Rus siannted them attacking reve Beyrout, and about a week afterwards my old ship, frigate a, however, French p the Exmouth, 90, came in, which made the inhabi- Cants of Beyrout feel themselves quite safe. Two or three days after that we were suddenly ordered to get up our steam with all speed, and found we were going to rescue some poor wretches who had escaped a fearful massacre at a place called Deir el-Kamar, and had managed to fetch the seashore about 15 miles off. When we got to the place pointed out, we saw on some hills, about two miles off the beach, crowds of women and children hud dled together, apparently in g.reat distress, and we could not make it out how it was they did not come down to the beach-to be taken off. So the captain sent me ashore with all the boats to bring them off. I made all the boats lay off the surf, and then landed myself, with an interpreter. I met an armed party of Druses on landing, and told them I wished to see the chief, as it appeared it was he that would not allow the people to depart. I went about two miles to a village where the chief lived. On my way up I met crowds of women and chil dren in a fearful state of distress, but no men ; they had all been killed. If I had been an angel, I could not have been more blessed ; for, poor creatures, no sooner did they catch sight of my uniform, than they fell down at my feet and kisses my hands, and implored me to save them. Of course I did not understand their language, but I was told what they said by the interpreter. " I was received in great state by the Druse chief, he and I sitting down and drinking coffee, while all the smaller chiefs stood round uncovered. I then told him I had come from my captain, to request him to allow the unfortunate women and children to embark on board of us without further molestation ; that the English liked the Druses, and admired their bravery, as long as they did not hurt women and children, but if they injured them they would make the English their enemies. The old Druse chief told me they never warred with women and children, and that he would be very happy to allow them to embark, and that the armed Druses with them were only for their protection. So I told ,him to send them all down to the beach at once. I was quite astonished to see the number of them ; instead of 200 or 3AO, as we heard there were, there were at least 1,500, and the most horri ble part was there was hardly a man to be seen, or a boy over 12 years old; they had all been massa cred—husbands, brothers, and fathers, every one. Poor things, they seemed overjoyed to get away, and when they got to the beach I had the greatest difficulty in preventing them throwing themselves into the sea, and had to drag one or two of them out of the surf mys e lf. " We only had about eight boats, but these we began to load with all despatch, every poor woman and child having to be carried through a tremen dous surf to the boats. However, our blue jackets worked well and cheerfully, only I must say that they very unfairly g ave preference to the pretty girls, and when any old mother wanted to be car ried off I was obliged to order some man personally to do it. Some of the women and children were badly wounded. They had been wounded while clinging to their husbands and fathers and were killed. As soon as a boat was loaded she was sent off to the ship, and the poor wretches stowed as close as they would lie on board, and then the boat was sent back. After two hours' hard work our decks were packed as close as possible, and we had room for no more. The gunboat, I must tell you, was full of fugitives from Sidon, so that she could not hold any. The sun had set ; the surf was in creasing fast, and two or three of our boats had been pitched bottom up on the beach. and there were still 700 unfortunate women and children on the beach with hardly a stitch of canvas on, and that little wet, all footsore, having travelled 30 miles the previous day, and some of them had not touched food for two or three days. I sent for the Druse chief, and made him promise me to take care of them until the morrow, when I said we would come again and bring off the rest of them, as the Gannet was firing guns for my recall. I went off, leaving them all horribly disappointed on the beach, poor things! When I went on board I found almost every inch of deck covered. We had 700 women and children on board, and only about a score of men who had escaped. It was the most dis tressing sight I ever saw or h ope to see aga i n, f or row that the immediate fear of death was removed they began to feel conscious of the full extent of their misfortunes—houses burnt down and all their relations massacred ; they began to scream, tear their hair off in handfulle, and beat their breasts in a most horrible manner. We did all we could to soothe them. Officers and men are all vieing with each other in feeding them with biscuit and giving them clothes, &c. I could tell you hundreds of anecdotes about them, but must reserve them for another time, as we are off directly—suffice it to s ywe took them to Beyrout, and, after a miser able night for them, poor things, wet through as they were, landed them the next morning, and the gunboat was sent up and brought down the remain ing 700 that night. We got g rea t cre dit f or the affair, and m y name figured in a d espa t c h t o th e Admiral. After stopping on the coast for about a fortnight we were ordered b ac k to A t h ens , an d when we got here found_ we had join the Admiral, who was at Zante. to We e picked hi m up a t sea , an d, after cruising with the fleet between that place and THE CITV OF LONDON UNION. Yesterday a communication was received from the Poor Law Bard by the guardians of the City of London Union touching the position of the Rev. F. P. Pocock, their workhouse chaplain, and his connexion with certain annuity societies, as recently disclosed at the Thames Police-court. Since that disclosure the Poor Law Board, at the earnest request of the guardians, have instituted, through Mr. Farnall, one of their inspectors, an inquiry into the truth of certain allegations made by the guardians with regard to Mr. Pocock, the first and principal of which was stated by them to be his intimate connexion with two annuity societies, which, as reported in l'he Sun of the 18th and 19th of June, were designated by Mr. Selfe, one of the magistrates at the Thames Police-court, " a swindle and a sham." The investigation by Mr. Farnall lasted two days, in the course of which the chaplain was afforded an opportunity of defend ing himself; and at a meeting of the guardians held yesterday week, subsequent to the inquiry, it was resolved, on the motion of Mr. Rock— "That the evidence taken by Mr. Parnell, the Poor Law Inspector, although restrained to very slight limits, and conducted with very great advantages to the chaplain, having fully confirmed the opinion of this Board that 'the Rev. F. P. Pocock is a most unfit person for the chaplaincy in this Union, this Board directs that the master do in struct the porter at the house at Bow to prevent the said Rev. F. P. Pocock from entering the gates, and that on the Bth of August the clerk be directed to give the master the necessary directions to carry this resolution into effect." This resolution was communicated by Mr. Bowring, the clerk to the guardians, to the Poor Law autho rities in Whitehall; and yesterday a reply was re ceived from Mr. Gilpin, M.P., their secretary, stating the Board consider it necessary to be in possession of the report of the accountants on the annuity societies with which Mr. Pocock has been connected, in order to enable them to come to a satisfactory decision upon the charges which have recently been made against him. The Board further directs Mr. Gilpin to state that they much regret to learn that the guardians should have determined to adopt the extreme and, as it appears to the Board, illegal course notified in the resolution of the guardians of the 31st ult., (given above), the more particularly as the Board has not as yet, owing to the absence of the report of the accountants, been able to decide finally upon the charges against the chaplain. He then points out to them that the adoption of the course proposed by them would not deprive the chaplain of either his office or his right to enforce the payment of his salary, while it would deprive the inmates of the workhouse of the spiritual consolation and instruc tion which he has been in the habit of rendering to them. The Board trusts that the guardians will, upon reconsideration, not think it necessary to give the directions to the master of the workhouse re ferred to in their resolution, but will await the decision of the Board, which will not be delayed longer than it is absolutely necessary to enable them to ascertain the true facts and to come to such resolution as in their judgment the justice of the case may require. At the meeting of the guardians yesterday, at which Alderman Abbiss presided, the letter of Mr. Gilpin having been read, Mr. Digance moved axed Mr. Yerbary seconded : " That the action upon the resolution of the previous Tuesday, in reference to closing the gates of the workhouse against the chaplain, be deferred until Tuesday, the 21st inst." On the question being put to the clerk whether he would instruct the master as directed, he stated that in the absence . of any decision from the Poor Law Board he did not think it consistent with his duty to direct the master to carry the resolution into effect ; he must, therefore, respectfully decline to instruct the master as directed in the resolution, but when the decision of the Poor Law Board was known he should be prepared to advise the Board thereupon. The resolution was carried by a large majority, and so the matter stands at present. BRI7 ISII FIS.HERIES. The annual report of the Commissioners for the British Fisheries has been presented to Parliament. This is a very important brsnoh of industry ; in the year 18.59 12,80 boats, manned by 43,062 fishermen and boys, were employed in the herring, cod, and ling fisheries, and the estimated value of the boats, nets, and lines is £739,096 ; besides which, these fisheries also furnished employment to 9,267 seamen, and no less than 49,022 other per sons, making a total of 101,351, independently of 927 seamen in foreign boats. The herring fishery was remarkably short in its produce on the east coast, and the quantity cured has not been so small in any year since 1837. No cause can be assigned for such fluctuations in the take, but it is hoped that the time is not far dis tant when the migrations of the fish will be explained. The quantity of herrings cured during the year was 491,487 barrels, branded 158,676, exported 272,979 ; the quantity cured was 117,488 barrels less than the average of the three preceding years—a very great falling off. Of the export 203,349 barrels went to the Continent, 68,882 to Ireland, and 748 to the colonies. The branding is voluntary, and a fee is now charged for it, but eminent foreign houses prefer to carry on their dealings by it, and nearly one-third of the whole quer tity cured was presented for branding, the fees realising £2,644. The estimate taken by the Commissioners of Inquiry of the cost of brand ing was £3,380, and, if the fishing had proved equal to that of last year, the amount would have been realised. This is the first year of the fee, and the proportion branded is equal to the average brandings of the previous 12 years, w h en th e brand ing was given gratis, so that the imposition of the fee has not affected the demand for the brand. In the cod and ling department the year's returns show an increase ; 118,383 cwt. were cured dried, and 5,362 barrels in pickle, and the quantity ex ported was 35,923 cwt. cured dried. The extensive improvements at Dunbar are proceeding success fully ; such is the stormy character of that coast, that though the new sea wall is 22 feet above the level of high water of spring tides, yet, in bad weather the spray frequently rises upwards of 50 feet above the cope of the wall. The report enters at some length into the disputes respecting trawling for herrings, which is prohibited, but the prohibition is too indiscriminate and difficult to be enforced. The Lord-Advocate has been passing a bill through Parliament upon the subject. Of the intellectual eondition of the fishermen and their families a very unfavourable account is given by Mr. Middleton, inspector of schools, in his report this year upon the north-eastern division of Scotland. He expresses his belief that the average school attendance of fishermen's children, when they do attend school, is not more than three months in the year. The conditions of existence among this class of our coun trymen, he says, do not require much aid from the schoolmaster ; and their migratory habits, caused by the herring fishing drawing them (often with their whole families) from their villages to a few central points for three months in summer, together with the limited ideas and limited earthly hopes of the parents, their continual struggle with the in constant sea, which necessitates the labour of old and young in fine weather, the feast in prosperity, the fast in adversity, combine to cause such neglect of schooling as is equalled in none other of the in dustrial classes. They are almost a distinct people everywhere, and nearly as exclusive in their mar riages as the Sews ; rarely is there an exception to the rule of fisherman to fisherwoman. THE JEWS' ACT.—The Act passed on Monday to amend the Jews' Act was issued on Wednesday. It is now provided that whenever the House of Commons shall order that any resolution agreed to pursuant to the Ist section of the 21st and 22d Victoria, cap. 49, in the'sante Session shall be a standing order of the house, any member professing the Jewish religion may thenceforth be sworn pursuant to such standing order, so long as the same shall continuo in force ; and it shall be lawful for such member, in taking and subscribing the oath which, by the recited Act, was substituted for the oaths, to omit the words " and I make this declaration on the true faith of a Christian ;" and the taking and subscribing by such member of the oath so modified shall, so far as respects the title to sit and vote in the house, have the same force and effect as the taking and subscribing by other members of the said oath in the form required.

Admiral Eden and Capt. Frederick (two of the Lords of the Admiralty) paid au official visit of in spection to the fleet of blockships now assembled at Portland, on Tuesday afternoon. The gallant offi cers were conveyed from Weymouth to the float by the steam tender Argus, and, on arriving at the western extremity of the two lines of ships, the flagship Colossus saluted in the usual manner. After the inspection was over the gallant admiral and captain returned to Weymouth. The crew of the Indus, 78, steam ordinary guard ship, Capt. A. C. Key, at Devonport, were paid wages on Tuesday, up to June 30. Admiral Sir Thomas Pasley presided.

The screw steam troopship Himalaya, Capt. Sea combe, from Dublin, arrived in Plymouth Sound on Tuesday afternoon, and embarked the Ist bat talion of the 10th Regiment from the Royal Wil liam Victualling-yard on Wednesday morning, for conveyance to Portsmouth, on their way to Alder shott. Major-General Bloomfield, Inspector-General of Artillery, recently paid an official visit to Colches ter Camp, and inspected the batteries of eight 26- pounders stationed there for the protection of the coast, with which he has expressed himself per fectly satisfied. Lieut. Leeds has been appointed Commandant of Royal Artillery in the Eastern District, and has taken up his quarters in Colches ter Camp. William Jones, James Burns, and Thomas Ingham, privates of the 56th Regiment, have been convicted before a district Court-martial of gross acts of insubordination while under orders to proceed with a draught from their regiment to India. Jones struck at Brigade-Major Cooch, who attempted to quell a disturbance, and, with a view to desert, he afterwards jumped from a train run ning at the rate of 30 miles an hour. The Com mander-in• Chief has confirmed the sentence of 168 days' imprisonment and the infliction of 50 lashes upon each prisoner, which will be carried into exe cution on board the Istamboul, to which the men were yesterday removed, under a strong escort, for conveyance to India. The 22d (Norfolk) Regiment of Artillery, Col. Lord Hastings, quartered at the Royal Marine Bar racks, Woolwich, during the last three months, yesterday left Woolwich, in command of Lieut.-Col. L'Estrange Astley, for Yarmouth, for the purpose of being disbanded. Preparatory to their depar ture they were paraded in the square, in order to give the men an opportunity of volunteering into the ranks of the regular army, but a small number only displayed any inclination to that effect, from a desire, it was stated, to visit their friends before entering on permanent service. Seven, however, volunteered on the spot for the 7th Fusiliers, and four for the Royal Artillery; two of the latter, failing to pass the medical examination, were re jected. The head-quarters proceeded by train and the remainder of the corps embarked by the Yar mouth packet from London. At 12 o'clock yester day morning they were succeeded by the Antrim Artillery, consisting of 350 men, in command of Lieut.-Col. Viscount Massereene and Ferrard, late Lieut.-Col. of the Louth Rifles, the majority of whom took possession of quarters in the Royal Ar tillery Barracks. The great inconvenience from which the men belonging to the Royal Marines wore suffering, from being crowded in the damp and unwholesome kitchens underneath the barracks to accommodate the Militia, having been brought to the notice of General Wesley on his late inspec tion of the division, has been satisfactorily re medied by a distribution of the Antrims, 40 of whom only are to be quartered with the Marines. Yesterday morning the remaining depot com panies of the 53d Regiment, numbering 200 non commissioned officers and men, vacated Chatham garrison, where they have been quartered since 1844, and proceeded by special train to Chichester, to await the arrival of the headquarters and service companies of the regiment, now on their passage home from India, The officers who proceeded with the depot were Capt. J. H. Lothian, Lieut. J. Mac neill, Lieut. R. F. Storey, Ensign H. D. Rooke, and Ensign W. E. S. Battiscombe. The 53d Regiment, which is now on its passage home from Calcutta in the Lady Clarendon, in which vessel' it embarked on the 17th of April last, has been 16 years in India, having left England in August, 1844. Owing to the hard fighting it has gone through and the num ber of volunteers—amounting to about 500—given by it to other regiments serving in India and China, including 200 to the 99th Regiment in China—the service companies have been much reduced, andnow only number a little more than 300 men. The de pot, however, is about 500 strong, and as recruiting for the 53d is proceeding at the rate of about 50 per month—the staff being open and recruits enlisted by every recruiting party in the kingdom—the regiment will shortly be raised to its required strength of 1,000 bayonets. The depot of the Ist battalion of the 4th (King's Own), numbering 3 officers and 180 men of all ranks, under the command of Capt. A. E. H. Ansell, and the depot companies of the 83d Regiment, the strength of which is 7 officers and 200 non-com missioned officers and men, arrived at Chatham garrison yesterday afternoon from Chichester, to be attached to the Indian depots. The Ist battalion of the 4th King's Own is serving in Bombay, and NEWSPAPER' Ln 1857; the headquarter- et: ' 3itA s \ are at Belgaum, and em • - *ea ' 4 - 40A ' V\e,,,. Gen. Chistiivus- Nieolls, of tare ,;Esititl c;lrr, died a few days since at his residen . ampton. The deceased General, whs -d " - A;i on the list of his branch of the service, rank of Secon • Lieutenant in 1794. Heads much active service in his early life, having gone out with several regiments as reinforcements to Gibraltar on the war breaking out with Spain in 1796, and remained blockaded in that fortress two years and a half. In 1799 he proceeded to the West Indies. In 1808 he accompanied Sir G. Prevost to • Nova Scala as commanding engineer, under expecd , tation of hostilities with America., and remained there until the war broke out in 1812, and was actively employed in the protection of the frontiers of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. He was pre sent at the capture of Moose Island, Castine, and Belfast. The late General al so was commanding engineer in Canada part of 181 4 and 1815. In July, 1851, he was appointed a Co • tonel-Commandant of the Royal Engineers. His, commissions bore date - as follows : — Second-Lieut.,. Nov. 6, 1794 ; First- Lieut., March, 3, 1797; March 30, 1802 ; Brevet-Major, June 4,18 t 3; Lieut.-Col., Sept. 1, 1813 ; Col., July 29, 1825 ; Major-Gen., Jan. 10, 1837 ; Lieut.-Gen., Nov. 9 , 1846 ; and Gen., June 20, 1854. The gallant officer was in his 80th year. Major-Gen. Hassell R . Moor, formerly in the Royal Artillery, died on Ji'riday last at his residence in the neighbourhood of 'Farnham.

ARTILLERY BXPERIIfIENTS NEAR .E.ASTBOURNE. Within half-a-mile of the redoubt at Eastbourne stands No. 71 Martello Tower, which, having be come useless, was selected for the trial of Sir W. Armstrong's guns on Tuesday Last. The Duke of Cambridge and a brilliant Staff of artillery and other officers were present on the occasion, fur nished with a telegraphic and photographic appa ratus, which were in constant - use. A 40, 70, and 100-pounder, Sir W. Armstrong himself acting as artilleryman, were the guns tested on this occasion. The range was nearly 1,000 yards, and the martello tower already referred to formed, the object aimed at. The results after each round were photographed. As early as eight o'clock the operations commenced, the range being ascertained, but it was not until about two in the afternoon that the real business of the day commenced. The Duke of Cambridge then arrived, having been engaged from an early hour in the morning in inspecting the little fort at Newhaven, and ascertaining whether its guns really commanded the entrance of that important harbour. We understand that the result was satisfactory, the range attained being about 2,500 yards, with an elevations of eight degrees. His Royal Highness then proceeded to Seaford, where he inspected the battery, and then carae by the coast route to East bourne. The practice during the afternoon was admirable ; every shot told on the martello tower, which is composed of massive brickwork, on this side six feet thick, or rather more, and on the sea side one-half thicker. The firing included some seven or eight rounds from each gun, and every shot showed to the spectators, who were assembled as near as the officials would allow, a new fall of the masonry. At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the six feet of brickwork was pierced through. The interior of the tower was laid bare. The breach, which was about 15 feet across the tower, and about seven feet in height, presented the ap pearance of a rough and jagged archway, growing; narrower and narrower as you looked inwards, till„ at the narrowest point, where the interior wail actually visible, it was about three feet across, and one or two feet in height. The attenda.nce included the Earl and Countess of Sheffield, Major- General Willoughby, K.C.B. ; Gen. Bloomfield, Major Field, Col. Cuppage, Col. St. George, R.A., and Col. Lefroy, R.A., President and Secretary to the Ordnance Select Committee ; Col. Campbell, Col. Greatheed, Sir Harry Jones, Sir W. Wiseman, R.A. ; Col. Tulloch, R.A. ; Sir R. Dacres, K.C.B. Col. Boxer, Admiral Sheppard, the Hon. R. Cavell-. dish, Mr. Blencowe, Mr. Darby, Mr. Lucan Shad•. well, Mr. Barrer, Mr. Hayles, Mayor of }fasting's, &c. Large parties of the various local volunte ers were also present. TILE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT. The 4th Kent Volunteers, or Woolwidh Dock yard Battalion, in command of Major Thornton, assembled last night on the parade, in a body ex ceeding 300 men, and were sworn in before the Commodore Superintendent of the yard, the Hon. James R. Drummond. After taking the customary oaths of allegiance to serve in the defence of the country, when called upon at the command of her Majesty, and each one having registered his name, they, formed into line, and, all being in uniform,. they marched past and went through various bat talion movements with remarkable precision. It is stated to be in contemplation to revert to the system recently abolished—namely, of re-establishing the Royal Dockyard Corps, in which case the commis sions will be issued by the Queen instead of the Lord Lieutenant, as a present. A Volunteer fete of some interest is to take place to-day (Thursday), in Alresford Park, near Col chester, the seat of Mr. W. Hawkins. The imme diate object of the proceedings is the presentation of a bugle of honour to the Colchester Volunteers, by Lady de Crespigny (wife of Sir C. de Crespigny, who commands the Essex Battalion), on behalf of the ladies of the town and district. After the bugle has been presented, the Volunteers, who have at tained considerable efficiency in their rifle practice, will execute several manoeuvres, and the proceed ings will close with an entertainment given by Mr. Hawkins. Among the guests expected to be pre sent are the Under Secretary of State for War (the Earl de Grey and Ripon), the Earl and Countess of Norbury, Lord and Lady Braybrooke, Major Beres ford, M.P., Sir J.

Papill on , M.P, and Mr. Gurdon Rebow, and Lady Ge orgiana Rebow, the High Sheriff of Essex, &c. The Skipton and North Craven, with a detach ment of the Ingleton Rifle Corps, forming part of the 2d battalion of West Riding of Yorkshire Rifle Volunteers, assembled on the 2d inst. at Mal ham Tarn, near Settle, to shoot for a silver bugle, to be held by the winning corps. The conditions of the match were that the five best shots of each corps should fire five rounds each man, at a regu lation target of 6 feet by 4 feet, stan ding, at 200 yards, and five rounds at a target of 6 feet by 8 feet, kneeling, at 400 yards, the weapon to be the long Enfield rifle, with Government cartridge, the firing to be conducted according to the rules of the School of Musketry at Hythe. The shooting took place during a storm. of wind and rain, which rendered it impossible to make good practice. The prize was won by t 1 Le North Craven Rifle Corps, whose representatives made 39 points—viz., 17 at 200 yards, and 22 at 4GO yards ; Skipton being second and Ingleton third. Captain Thompson, of the Guiseley Rifle Corps, acted as umpire.
