STAMPED, SD• NEW A TA FE COLLEGE AT SANDHURS7'. The first stone of the projected college for officers of the army who, having served a probation in regi mental duties, seek by a higher course of training to qualify themselves for Staff appointments, was formally laid at Sandhurst yesterday by the Com mander-in-Chief, the Duke of Cambridge. It may not be generally known that about two years ago, at the suggestion and under the. auspices of his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, a new and senior department was added to the Royal Military College at . Sandhurst. The institution had hitherto been confined to the instruction of sadets in the first rudiments of the military art, with a view to fit them for commissions in the army ; but increased attention having been attracted of late years to the subject of military education, and the stimulus of competitive examinations hav ing been applied not to the civil services of the State alone, but also to the scientific and other branches of the army, it was thought that the ma chinery of Sandhurst College might be made avail able for carrying to a higher point the professional attainments of officers who have already seen ser vice in the army, as well as for training mere boys who are candidates for first commissions. Hence originated what is called the Staff College, which was founded by Order in Council, in 'February, 1858. Though established, as will be seen, to im part instruction of a special and very advanced order, and therefore in its object and purpose quite dis tinct from the existing Military College,.the new system has been conducted up to the present mo ment as a mere adjunct to that institution. But the time has come, in the opinion of its founders, for it to take a leap forward and enter a new phase of its history. Moreover, the accommodatiox of the present college, where the cadets alone number about 150, does not admit of any expansion of what was from the first but an intrusive element; and it has been deemed only fitting that the competitors for staff employment should have a separat3 build ing of their own in which to pursue their studies. The number of students with which the Staff College commenced its career was only 15 ; now it reaches a maximum of 30, and when the new quar ters are ready to receive their inmates, it will admit of still further extension. As some indication of the nature and range of the studies of these officers, it may be stated that the professorial staff now consists of nine professors, viz., two for mathematics, one for military history and art, one for fortification, one for military administration, one each for Ger man, French, and Hindustani, and one for military topography. The students are divided into a senior and junior class, and the period allowed them fo: passing through the college is two years. Exami nations by the Council of Military Education aro held every six months, so that, independently of the minor ordeals through which they are put quarterly, and even monthly, by the collegiate authorities, the progress of each class is gauged and tested at four successive stages of their colle giate course. The new Staff College will be pleasantly situated on a gentle slope from half to three-quarters of a mile to the eastward of the Cadets' College, and within the spacious grounds attached to the last named establishment. The new edifice, the foun dations and basement of which are already laid up to within a foot of the ground floor, is expected to be completed in 18 months. When finished it will afford accommodation for 40 students. The building will be 265 feet long, 110 broad, and 55 in height, its style of architecture modern Italian, and the material brick and stone. The main entrance will be by the west front, and over it the royal arms will be emblazoned, surmounted by the crest of the college. At each end will be a. tower, rising about 20 feet above the rest of the building. The princi pal apartments will comprise the great hall, lecture rooms, study-halls, libraries, and mess-room. The grand hall will be approached from the front by a handsome vestibule, and communication will be had to two spacious quadrangles by lengthened corridors. A wide stone staircase will lead up to the first floor, and on the landing there will be an ornamental balustrade surmounted by lonic co- lumns. The contract also includes the erection of suitable residences for the commandant and adjutant of the college, together with stabling for a stud of 40 horses. The works are under the direction of Col, Chapman, C. 8., of the Royal Engineers, assisted by Capt. Gray and Lieut. Bowdley, Royal Engineers. Mr. Myres, the eminent London builder, has the contract, the completion of which is estimated to cost from £40,000 to £50,000. The occasion of his Royal Highness the Com mander-in-Chief's visit to Sa:adhurst to receive the half-yearly report of the Council of Examiners was fixed upon for the laying of the first stone of the new edifice, and his Royal Highness readily acceded to the proposal that he should also perform the ceremony. His Royal Highness arrived by the South-Weatern Railway at Farnborough at nine o'clock a.m., and thence reached Sandhurst in less than half an hour. He was attended by General Foster, Deputy-Assistant Adjutant-General ; Sir Richard Airey, Quartermaster-General ; General Cameron, Vice-President of the Council of Military Education; Major-General Sir E. Lugard , and Colonel Clifton, Aide-de-Camp to the Commander in-Chief. His Royal Highness was received by Sir Harry Jones, Governor of Sandhurst Royal Mili tary College ; Major-General Portlock ; Colonel M'Dougall, Commandant of the Sandhurst • Staff College ; Colonel Scott, Lieutenant-Governor of the Royal Military College; and Lieutenant-Colonel Addison, of the Council of Military Education. The programme of the day's proceedings opened with the parade of the cadets on the ground imme diately in front of the College, in the presence of the Commander-in-Chief, the members of his Staff, and the other distinguished officers already named. The youths were put through the manual and 'pla toon exercise, the sword-bayonet exercise, and bat talion drill, in all of which they acquitted them selves with a celerity, a precision, and a steadiness which won for them the highest adm;ration. His Royal Highness was then conducted by the College authorities to the apartment in the College where the military plans and drawings executed by the students of the Staff College were displayed for his inspection. Among the specimens thus ex hibited were many highly-finished sketches of Sandhurst and its vicinity, including the camp at Aldershott, in which the varied features of the country were minutely delineated", and their strate gical value and capacities.clearly indicated. These military plans were accompanied by manuscript memoirs, also the workmanship of the students, in which the leading points in their drawings were farther explained and elucidated. The productions of the senior class in this branch of their studies were allowed by cempetent judges to possess merits of the highest order. The distinguished party then repaired to the site of the proposed Staff College to perform the cere mony, of laying the foundation stone. What hap pened on this occasion deserves special mention, as standing out in marked contrast to what occurs in most instances when the services of the amateur mason are invoked. The hero of the day usually comes to the scene in the fond hope that his part in the proceedings is to be, as far at least as the na ture of the case will admit, a reality, when lo ! he finds that the cunning hand of the professional workman has anticipated him, and that his own office has degenerated into the idlest of forms. In the present instance, however, it was wholly diffe rent. The brickwork of the foundation had, indeed, as we have said, been completed, but not ono stone of the building had been placed; so that his Royal Highness literally accomplished with mallet and trowel the task which the programme assigned to him. The spectacle was a truly animating one. The assemblage of brilliant uniforms, heightened by the numerous orders and honor ar y decorations I of their wearers, had the finest effect. The ceremony was commenced with an appropri ate prayer, which was offered up by the Rev. Dr. Chcpmell, chaplain of the Military College., A small mahogany box, containing the usual scroll setting folth the circumstances under which the first stone was laid, together with a complete set of the coins of the present reign, was handed to the Com mander-in-Chief, and deposited by his Royal High ness in a recess prepared for their reception. The stone was next lowered, and his Royal' Highness, having adjusted it by level and line in its appointed place,pronounced it,amid the cheers of the concourse, to be " well and truly laid." The band struck up the National Anthem, and a salute from the field pieces of the College also greeted this announcement. Col. IIIACDOUGALL, Commandant of the College, then spoke as follows :—The duty now devolves upon me, which I also feel to be a great honour, of thanking your Royal Highness, in the name of the Staff College, for kindly consenting to lay the first stone of the building destined to be the future hon e of that institution. May I be permitted to say thit it appears peculiarly fitting that this office should be performed by your Royal Highness, not only because, as occupying the proi:d position of Com• mander-in-Chief of the British Army, the Staff Col lege has been your Royal Highness's actual crea• THE SUN, LONDON, THUESDAY EVENING, DECENISER 15, 1859.

Prices began to fall off again both for goods and yarn s , an d the reasons that we explained in our previous rrports pre sant the future prospects as rather uncertair_ and unfavour able. The stocks of piece goods in fir Flt, and second hands are still heavy and the supplies on the way from England too large, and unless a very brisk consumption shall be manifested we cannot expect aril , great improvement in this market.

Ant-stock Shares—The intervention of holydays since our last has retarded business, but some transactions have takeZ place in India General shares and Bonded Ware house stock at our quotations. Ganges shares are in less favour, owing to the comparative mallness of the dividend declared ; the scrip of this company is to be divided into three, thus making the shares 500 r. each, instead of 1,500 r.

'RE AUSTRALIAN AND BOMBAI7 MAILS. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Ripon, Capt. J. S. Field, arrived at Southamp ton yesterday morning with the heavy portion of the mails from Bombay, Australia, New Zealand, &c., in charge- of Messrs. Casson and Lea, of the General Post-office. Shp. left Alexandria on the 30th ult., Malta the VI inst., and Gibraltar the 9th, and had variable weather during the voyage. The Ripon brought 100 passengers, of whom 38 were first-class, 22 second, 29 deck, and 11 chil dren; and on freight £1,671 in specie, gold dust value ,L 13,158 total value, £14,829 ; also 1,205 bales of silk, and a general cargo. On the 10th inst., the Ripon passed the company's steamer Delta off Cape Espichel, steering to the southward ; and on the 13th, off Ushant, the Pera, both outward bound. Her Majesty's ships Renown, Racoon, Banshee, Caradoc, and Wanderer were at Malta. At Gibraltar were her Majesty's ship Marl borough, Cadmus, Doris, Lapwing, Scylla, Orion, Neptune, and Caesar. Her Majesty's steam sloop Mohawk, Commander M'Dougall, arrived. at Gibraltar on the Ist inst., six dais from Plymouth. The gunboat Vigilant, Capt. Armitage, from Malta, arrived at Gibraltar on the sth, laden with crindemned stores, and bound for 4ithead. She was obliged, through stress of weather, to put into Algiers, where she took in 30 tons of coal. The Vigilant put to sea again on the 6th. The steam sloop Firebrand, Commander Bruce, arrived at Gibraltar on the 6th, 11 days from Falmouth ; she had a steam dredger in tow for service at Malta, and, after coaling, re sumed her voyage with the dredger. The Turkish steamer Sinope, Capt. R. Driver, 10 days from Southampton, with coals for Constan tinop)e, arrived at Gibraltar on th e 6th. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam slaip China, Captain N. Cook, from Southampton on the 27th ult., arrived at Gibtraltar on the 3d inst., and proceeded to Malta and .:Llexandria. She had experienced very bad weather.. The following British mercharatt steamers had arrived at Gibraltar :—Nov. 30, thee Thessalia, Cap tain R. Flint, six and a half days from Liverpool, with general cargo for Gibraltar, 'a Ealta, and Alex andria ; same day, the Gibraltar, captain W. G. S.

Morrison, 13 days from Liverpool and seven from Cot with railway carriages for Barcelona. The Tweedside, having on board the submarine electric telegraph cable which is t connect Ceuta with Algesiras, arrived at Gibraltar on the morning of the 7th from London. Messrsz. George, John, and James Hamilton, telegraph f ngineers, with nine men to assist in paying out the cable, were on board the Tweedside. The layinp; down of the wire was to commence forthwith. The British brig Margaret, Capt in F. Jefferson, 40 days from Newcastle and 14 fr( uai Portsmouth, with coals for Gibraltar, arrived at the latter port on the 2d. She had experienced heavy weather, and lost bulwarks and head rails. The Austrian brig Giovanni Leo veld°, in enter ing Gibraltar Bay on the aftern. )on of the 4th, missed stays and grounded near Pu ata Mala at low water; she floated off at high tide dt t ring the night The Norwegian barque Falken, 0. J. Rod mas ter, from Alexandria with barley, ' e ound to Cork or Falmouth, went aground on the o ight of the 4th when entering the bay, near the sec 4)nd river. She remained on the rocks and was mat i ng, water. _ The Norwegian barque Queen ificioria, which arrived at Gibraltar on the 4th, lad xm with barley for London from Odessa and Consta xitinople, would have to discharge to undergo repair e, on account of being in a leaky state. A letter received at Gibraltar :from Almeira, dated Nov. 27, reported the loss of 'the Neapolitan brig Rachele, Raffaelo Scarpati mast er, on the flats near Roquetas. She was laden wit h wheat, from Marseilles, bound to Cork or Falmi ) uth for orders. Little of the cargo had been savedl, and the hull, owing to the bad weather, had gone to pieces, but the rigging had been preserved. The Archduke Ferdinand Maxi: a Nan and the Archduchess Charlotte, who arrivi :11 at Gibraltar incognito on the 28th ult. in the A:ustrian steam frigate Kaiserin Elizabeth, took t t eir departure shortly after eight o'clock on the :z torning of the 3d inst. During their stay his Imp arial Highness had a cabin erected on the deck of t he steamer, to be used as a library or reading-room.. The steamer was to proceed direct to Madeira, olhere prepara tions had been made by the Austrian Consul and the Portuguese authorities to receive hi 01. It was sup posed that their Imperial Higlines ses would also visit the Azores and Canary Islands Gibraltar advices contain no later news from Mo rocco than that received via Madrid..

The papers are much taken up with Lord Canning's tour through Oude and the Upper Provinces. Accounts of his visit to Lucknow reached us by the Bombay Mail. On Oct. 29 the Governor-General and the Commander-in-Chief departed for Cawnpore. The show and ceremonial of the week are stated to have been successful, but it is said that they had given great offence to Europeans at Lucknow. Regarding troops for China nothing further had occurred. The Overland Friend of India says :--" A month ago her Majesty's 67th were at Singapore on their way to Hong Kong. Volunteers for the war have been asked from Madras, Bombay, and Kurrachee, but the results, though not yet known, cannot be doubtfel. The details,' promised without delay' in a General Order eighteen days ago, have not yet been published. The 42 volunteers from the Aln wick Castle at Kedgeree were returned afterhaving been pat on board ship to in brought back to Cal cutta. They were found to be a bad set, of whom the homeward-bound officers were only too glad to be rid. Few in England can understand the in tense craving for home - that has seized every soldier in India, local and line alike. The men with whom we have spoken, from the intelligent and well edu cated non-commissioned officer to the most boorish lout of a raw recruit, describe life here as intense misery. Action would attract them. Volunteering for the campaign merely would have secured half the force at least now on its way home. But to ask men in a careless way to re-enlist for ten years, with all past service and all past services ignored, and for £5 bounty, with no manifestation of tact, no alluring appeal, no encouraging words, is to court a refusal in any circumstances. In her Ma jesty's regiments alone, now that the order prohi biting the purchase of discharge is withdrawn, forty-six men of all classes up to the sergeant major, and of all terms of service, have lately paid sums ranging from £5 to £3O, and amounting in all to £BOO, for their discharge." _ _ Brigade commands have been abolished- For the future the senior officer in a station will command the brigade without allowances. The rules for compensation to sufferers by the mutiny have been issued. The loss, in support of which prima facie evidence was laid before the com missioners, amounts to Rs. 2,07,83,214, and there aro further claims to the extent of Rs. 32,67,783 which are doubtful. To meet this it is expected the sum of Rs. 10,00,000 will be sufficient, but on no account is more than a million sterling to be given, which sum is to be remitted to India in the course of this cold season. A distinction is made between real and personal property. In the case of real pro perty, where the amount of the admitted loss shall not exceed Rs. 2,000, one-half shall be awarded and where the loss exceeds that sum, Re. 1,000 shall be given and one third of the surplus. Losers of per sonal property are to receive one-third of the ad mitted loss, but in no case shall more than Rs. 5,000 be granted. Compensation commissioners have been appointed in Bengal, the North-West, the Punjaub, Oude, Rajpootana, and Central India, to conduct the necessary inquiries. Not later than two months after closing the inquiries the amount conceded will be paid. Insurance companies re ceive nothing. No question of the loss of profits can be entertained. A bank will receive only a third of the value of its buildings. If the full million is really given, it is believed, with such important exceptions as these, most of the claims will be met. Of the Waghers there is little further to record. The assault on Beyt seems to have been sadly mis- managed. One account says there were only 130 men in the fort. But the whole strength of the pirates is centred in D warka, and there the struggle is expected to be deadly. The force landed on the 20th of October. Up to the 24th, beyond the cap ture of a small fort, nothing had been done. War stores had been sent for from Bombay and Kur rachee. The campaign in Bundlecund has begun. Fe roze Shah, Furzund Ali, and Rummust Singh are in a dense jungle on a bend of the Cane river, which runs in a north-easterly direction from the frontier of the Sanger and Nerbudda territory to the Sumna, between Chutterpore , and Punnah. By the last intelligence Brigadier Wheeler and his staff had arrived at Nagode and assumed command of the head-quarters column, consisting of the 2d Sikhs, two companies of her Majesty's 43d, and the Bij nour Raj poot Levy. The plan for scouring the jungles is likely to be successful. From the south and west three columns, under Colonel Primrose, her Majesty's 43d; Colonel Oakes, 12th Royal Lancers; and Colonel Nott, 19th Madras Native Infantry, are marching on them. From Sanger Colonel Ross advances with his Camel Corps, and From Banda, Colonel Turner, of the 97th. Alex ander's Horse guards the road from Ghysabod to lluttah. Preparations are being made for a cam paign on the Oudo frontier. Most circumstantial accounts of the death of Nana Sahib again abound. On the Ist of November a large meeting was held in Calcutta to inaugurate a literary and scientific institution. It was at first designed for tradesmen and their assistants, but Sir Mordaunt Wells having joined the committee exerted himself to extend its benefits to all classes of the community, and met with much success. Sir Mordaunt presided at the meeting, and Dr. Duff delivered the inaugural ad dress. The Peninsular and Oriental steamer Bentinck, with the mail of the 27th September, did not reach Calcutta till the sth inst. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CALCUTTA MARKET, Nov. 8. On the 27th ult. the telegram from Galle brought us London intelligence of the 27th Sept. Letters and papers of this date were brought by the steamer Bentinck on the sth inst. The telegraphic news of the 3d of October reached us via Bombay on the 29th ult. Letters and papers of this date were brought in by express on the 6th inst. Import Market—For the last 10 or 12 days our import market for piece goods and yarn has assumed a quiet and daily increasi ng dulness. Generally the accounts from the up-country markets present a considerable decrease in the consumption and a fall in prices. The demand for the Bombay market is at an end, and the exports for the coast parts are going on upon a very limited scale. All these CHINA. By this mail we have advices from Hong Kong to October 29, and Shanghae to October 22. The following is from the summary of the China Mall:—" Everything remains dull. A portion of the 67th Regiment has come up here from Calcutta, and the 3d Buffs are daily expected from the same place, it having been supposed that Shanghae was in danger at the time of the riot there. It is said that a recent survey of the mouth of the Peiho has disclosed that large vessels can move in very close to the forts, so if directions come out for the destruction of the forts, there will be no difficulty in doing so. A number of vessels are en gaged at Calcutta lest hostilities should be ordered, but we arc not without hope that moderate counsels will prevail. Mr. Lay has commenced the opera- tion of the new service at Canton, and in another column we give the regulations of the custom house and the rules for river steamers. As might be ex• petted, an innovation of this kind has been sharply opposed by a portion of the foreign community, but in some quarters in such an abusive way as rather to close than to promote discussion. One important fact, however, is that the United States consul at Canton has refused his sanction to the arrangement until he communicaies with his Ex cellency Mr. Ward ; and the American steamer White Cloud brought back a portion of its cargo, immediately after the regulations were put in force this week, rather than bear the delay involved by the customs examination. As the system appears ' not to have worked ill at Shanghae, it is to be hoped that some attempt will be made to suit the necessities of the river steamers. We mentioned in our last overland summary that the southern portion of the island of Saghalien had been ceded to the Russians by the Japanese Government. As the Russians held the northern portion some time ago, it may be presumed that the whole island is now in their hands. The wreek of another steamer has to be announced by us every mail almost regu larly. This time it is the James Hartley the loss of which we have to record. It left Shanghae for Hong Kong on the Gth inst., and on the evening of the 10th, a little after 6 o'block, struck upon some rocks about 80 miles from Hong Kong. After in marring great danger the officers and. crew were taken down to Hong Kong by a junk ; 25,000 dols. which were on board, were afterwards recovered by a gunboat. The ship Inkerman, from London, has been lost on St. John's Island ; the Louisa Baillie, on its way to Swatow ; and the schooner Minnita, on the other side of this island. Early on the morn ing of the 19th inst. a destructive fire broke out here, which destroyed the establishments of Mr. , the Victoria Exchange, 11 h I e ar b s i li llia l1rs billiard -r . o R rt om ick o o f m th a e z Commercial Hotel, and the newly-built Roman Catholic chapel, with an ad• joining house. The damage is estimated at up• wards of 100,000 dols." HONG KONG, OCT. 29. In Hong Kong there has been little demand for imports, except T-cloths, of which 41,000 pieces have been sold at an advance of about 10c. to 50c., the principal demand being for 5f catties. At Canton there has been x more brisk demand for ma nufactures, and an advance of 6c. to 10c. has been established. We give sales at both Hong Kong and Canton, and quote prices at the latter place, duty paid, cash two months.

For that support and encourage ment I beg respectfully to tender to your Royal Highness my grateful thanks. I hope I may be allowed without presumption to congratulate the British army at large on having at its head a Royal Prince who has shown a determination not only to encourage, but also to enforce all necessary military studies and exercises. In the institution now hon oured by your Royal Highness it is neither our hope nor our expectation to convert every . young student into a first-rate General ; for while it is undoubtedly true that no man, whatever his aptitude for war, can hope to become a great General without con stant study and practice, on the other hand, it is equally true that all the practice and study in the world will not make a General of the man to whom nature has denied those qualifications, both of brain and nerve, which are so rarely found united in the same person, but which, when so found, constitute the great commander. What we do hope to de is to give to every officer who passes through thisfol lege such a theoretical and, as far as is possible in a time of peace, such a practical training as may render him a valuable instrument fitted to the hand of any General to whom he may be attached. This day terminates the period of study for the senior division of our students, who are also the first students that were admitted to the college after its formation. And I would crave your Royal Highness's permission to avail myself of this public opportunity to say how great has been the pleasure and satisfaction I have derived from having beea associated with those officers, and how easy the duties of my post have been made to me through their demeanour. Brought together from so many different regiments, and pitted against each other, as it were, by competitive examination, the cor diality, the good feeling—l may say the brotherly feeling—which has existed uninteruptedly among them has been as remarkable as it has been gratify ing. These, sir, are not words of course. It would be difficult for me to express too strongly my ap preciation of the assiduity, the good sense, and gentemanlike bearing of those officers, and my re gret at bidding them farewell is only alleviated by the conviction that many of them will become orna ments of their profession, and all of them useful servants of their Queen and country._ Colonel Mac- Dougall concluded by again thanking the Comman der-in-Chief for having graciously attended there that day. The Chaplain of the College then pronounced the Apostolical benediction, and the ceremony of laying the foundation stone terminated. His Royal Highness and his Staff then proceeded to the riding-school of the College, where the cadets underwent a practical test of their horsemanship. The distinguished visitors next partook of lun cheon with the Commandant, professors, and stu dents of the Staff College ; after which they re paired to the board-room, where the formality of awarding certificates to the successful Staff Colle gians was to take place. Here the official reports of the examiners were read, stating in detail the relative proficiency of their different studies, as in dicated by the number of marks they had gained in each. Those reports were highly satisfactory, both as to the junior class, which remains another year in the College, and the senior class, the mem bers of which have all completed their curriculum, and are no w eligible for stuff appointments, thepre• cedence awarded to them being rp gulatal according to their number of marks. is reading of the documents having been con- eluded, His ROYAL ifIGIINESS briefly addressed the stu dents. He said—Gentlemen, lam very glad to be able to congratulate you on the results of the exa minatlon. It is highly satisfactory to me to hear so good a report of the trouble and pains you have taken in preparing yourselves while at this college for those important staff duties which are so neces sary in an army, and which, if not properly fulfilled, must end in serious disaster to the troops with which you may be engaged. I may observe that you possess a very great advantage in having at the head of your College an officer like Colonel Mac- Dougall, for whom I have a great regard—l may almost say affection, for he is, in fact, one of the most satisfactory men to deal with whom I have ever met. It would therefore be strange indeed if you had not progressed under such a chief, who carries his men along with him more than any other man I ever knew. Ido not, however, mention the assistance which you have received from Colonel MacDougall, or from the admirable staff of pro fessors who have devoted their time in furtherance of your pursuits with any intention to detract from the merit which belongs to you. You have profited by their labours and their co-operation, and you have come up in the end to their expectations and to ours. The question of education is one of very considerable difficulty. We all desire to see it carried to the highest possible pitch, so that the education given does not reach a point where it would destroy efficiency. Your mere book-worm is a very respectable person in his way ; but he is not altogether the man you want for a staff-officer. You want to have book-learning and all other neces sary qualities combined. Therefore gentlemen, as you have now obtained a great amount of theoretical, and, I am bound to add, practical knowledge to fit you for the army, while I would recommend you to keep up your studies by books, I would urge you to devote yourselves specially to mastering the interior economy of a regiment, and all those minor and prac tical details, an acquaintance with which I contend is as essential in many respects as the higher subjects of study connected with our profession. Don't disre gard these things, then, because you have taken honours and gained a high position in mathematics and other useful acquirements. Don't forget those small details, without which an army cannot get on. Sometimes, indeed, an army suffers severely from the neglect of the most minute arrangements, and matters which some would think of the very least importance may, after all, prove of more conse quence than all the rest besides. Let me, then, impre:s upon you the necessity, when you return to the service and obtain those staff appoint ments which I trust to see you all filling, of your applying yourselves to everything which can in crease your qualification for your profession with the same zeal and devotion as you have shown within the walls of this institution. Gentlemen, I can only congratulate you again on the very favourable account I have received of your proficiency. The progress you have made must, I am sure, be very satisfactory to the Governor, Sir Harry Jones, and to the professors; and I will only add that when ever I visit this place again, if I should be spared todo so, and get an equally good report, I shall be exceedingly gratified. It may be here mentioned that the result of the last half-year's competition for first commissions among the Sandhurst candidates was announced to them before they quitted parade. 24 of the senior cadets had obtained gratuitous commissions for their proficiency; two others, though less proficient, were declared eligible for commissiohs by purchase and four had entirely failed to pass. The report relating to the cadets was, on the whole, regarded by the authorities as satisfactory. Having brought to a close the labours of a by no means ill-spent day, the Commander-in-Chief and his suite returned to town. The weather was throughout the day dry and beautifully fine, its only drawback being the keen and nipping frost. THE SEVERE WEATHER.—THE PARKS, &C.— Yesterday a very severe frost set in—the wind the pre ceding evening having veered round to the northward, in which point it has remained, ranging at intervals from N. by W. to N. by E., the frost cmtinuing without inter mission. An idea of the intensity of the cold may be formed by the fact that ice was carted yesterday from the ponds, brooks, and rivulets in the suburban districts fully two inches in thickness ; and towards evening, as the tide receded from high water mark, a coating of ice was loft on the river banks ; and the ornamental waters in the various parks were so much frozen, that if the weather continue with the same severity, the ice wilt be of sufficient strength to bear those persons who like the amusement of skating. The steep ascents of Fish-street, Holborn, Ludgate and Snow hills, and the inclines at Blackiriars-btidge were so glassy, that several stoppages took place, in consequence of horses having fallen, or being unable to move the heavy loads. On the various lines of railway much inconvenience and delay were occasioned, owing to the glassy state of the metals, several trains being nearly an hour behind the ap pointed time. Notices were issued yesterday cautioning persons against sliding upon the pavements, and house keepers to have the pavements in front of their wemices cleared every morning, otherwise the penalties in such cases will be strictly enforced. A Fox DECAPITATED BY A RAILWAY TRAIN.— A. few mornings ago, as seine platelayers were coming along the line, near Carnforth, Lancaster, they found a fox's head cut off, along with a portion of the shoulders. It is sup posed that reynard had been out on an evening foraging expedition, and had been overtaken by the last train, and the speed of the engine being too much for him, he thus fell a victim. As a trophy, the party nailed the remains of poor reynard to the first telegraph post they came t). V
