................ •- -TIE AFFAIR AT YOLTO.RIfO. (Fri .m the Special Correspondent of the Times.) 'SANTA MARIA DI CAPUA, SEPT. 20. After almost a month of silence, there was yes terds y, in honour of San Januarius, musketry and cannon firing. While the blood of the saint graci ously liquified in the Cathedral of Naples, fresh blood, rosier than that in the bottle, flowed on the banks of the Volturno. In order to explain how this happened, I must tell you about the military movements which have taken place since the arrival of the army at Naples. The Neapolitans, before withdrawing in the direc tion. of Capua and Gaeta, had taken dispositions to get up a reactionary movement in the eastern pro vinces—in the Principato Ultra and in the Capita. zata —where the old regime thought to have par tisans enough to insure success. They had chosen a s the centre of this reaction Ariano, situate in the high Apennines, not far from Benevento. To give strength to this reactionary movement the Brigade Bonani was left in that part to organise a popular levy, for which everything had been disposed be forehand by the clergy and the landed proprietors, who possess considerable influence in those parts. Garibaldi, apprised of this scheme, ordered Gen. Turr, who had just arrived with a part of his divi sion from Salerno, to go and stir up that nest of reaction. It was important that this should be done as quickly as possible, in order not to leave time to the intrigues of priests and employes to produce their effect on the ignorant population. The diffi culty was only to get the troops there, the distance to Ariano being wellnigh 60 miles. The railway goes as as far as Nola, and of this, naturally, advan tage was taken. Arrived there, all disposable carts and carriages were collected to the number of 60 or 70, and about 900 men put on them, the remain der receiving orders to follow as quickly as possible. On the road from Avellino towards Ariano there is a cluster of small towns situated just about mid way between the two places. Dentecano, which is one of the post stations, and Montemiletto and Montefusco, which lie on both sides of it. In these the seed of the reaction had taken considerable root ; the tricolour had given way to the white flag of the Bourbons, the National Guard had given way to an armed levy which was organising for resistance. This cluster of towns became na turally the first object of attention to the flying or, better, coaching column. One day was sufficient to damp their ardour, but it was difficult to dis tinguish the guilty from the innocent and to single out the ringleaders. According to one half of the population the other half ought to have been hanged, so 150, about whom the testimony was tolerably unanimous, were sent under escort to Naples. This done, the expedition proceeded at once to wards Ariano. General Bonani had taken up his position at Campo Reale, behind Ariano, keeping in the town a small garrison and the two squadrons of cavalry which he had with him. Arrived in the neighbourhood of Grottaminardi, the last station before arriving at Ariano, General Turr sent a herald to ask about General Bonani's intentions. The answer was that his wish was to join the King's forces at Gaeta, and that he hoped to be allowed to go there unmolested with his force. The answer was that this could not be done ; that the conditions were to lay down their arms and leave the material, the men go to their homes, and the officers to keep their swords and have the liberty of going to Gaeta or wherever they pleased. After some pourparlers which took place at Grotta minardi, all this was agreed to, and besides, the stipu lation made that the cavalry should take the horses as far as Nola. General Turr, without waiting for the carrying out of the capitulation, went alone with an aide-de-camp to Ariano, where, in spite of all evil predictions, he found people as tame as in the other places. The spoils of the capitulation were four guns, 150 horses, and above 1,000 stand of arms. Having arrested some more ringleaders, reorganised the National Guard, and put the place into safe hands, the expedition returned as quick as it had come. Gen. Turr had not returned from Ariano when some movements of troops took place in another direction. You will remember that the general im pression, not unlikely strengthened by a wish to this effect, was that the King would give up the game as hopeless after the loss of the capital, the adhesion of most of the continental provinces, of the navy, and a large portion of his army. It was known that there was great dissatisfaction and de• spondency among the troops which still remained, and that it was only the erroneous reports about the treatment of those who came over which kept many from following the example of their com panions. The foreign regiments had shown them• selves almost mutinous, and most of the higher military authorities were of opinion that further resistance was useless. It became, however, soon apparent that this impression was wrong, and that, owing to some influence or other, or to some hope of foreign assistance, the King had taken the reso lution to prolong the resistance within the rayon which still remained to hire. About 25 miles to the north of Naples runs down to the sea one of the greatest rivers in the Neapolitan continent, the Volturno. Coming from the heart of the Abruzzi down in a southerly direc tion, it takes about the height of Alife (the old Alifa of the Samnites) a sudden bend to the south east, skirts the group of the Monte Matise, and then turns near Cajazzo, another Samnite town, to the south-west, and flows through the plains of the Campania into the sea. A couple of miles from its entrance into the plain lies the fortress of Capua, which is the great centre of the chief roads from north to south. This river line has been chosen by the Neapolitans as their line of defence. With Gaeta, a considerable fortress and the greatest ar senal of the Neapolitan army and navy to fall hack upon, the river line itself is by no means despicable. With the fortress of Capua as a pivot for their ope rations, and an always ready tete-de-pont to de boucher to the south, they are protected by the river, which is, even at this time of theyear, scarcely fordable, except above Cajazzo. With their superio rity in artillery, and good roads of connection be hind the river, it was not difficult to concentrate a sufficient force on any point threatened. This line, then, was chosen fur defence, and on it, and in its neighbourhood, all the remaining force concen trated. In order to be secure against any popular movement, which might render the defence of the line more difficult, the National Guard of Capua, Cajazzo, and other places, was disarmed. They had broken down the bridges both above and below Capua, keeping for themselves only the passage through Capua, and here and there a few boats on the right bank of the river. Having no one against them, they pushed forward their patrols into the vicinity of Santa Maria, and in the direction of Ca serta. This could not pass without alarming the good citizens and National Guards of these two Places, and already, on the 11th inst., message was sent after message t o G ar ib a ldi to inform him of the dange rous position in which, above all, the town of Santa Maria known for its Italian, tendencies, found itself. The next day the pressing became so great that Garibaldi decided on sending a force in that direction, All the troops a rr i ved e fatigued by the long and forced marches the point of the hoped r con tinent, and had to have at least some Adiort time to repose and to repair the mighty havoc in :!otli hCalabria. made the rovin campaign g But, by asl have oft en in gt through and ug told you, Garibaldi, knowing himself no f at i gue, judges others after himself. On the 12th, the which Brigade Eber, o f the Division Turr, had arrived the day before, received orders to go n ext morning to Caserta by rail. The instructions were to leave the main body at Caserta and push forward a body of men as far as Santa Maria, watch the movements of the enemy, and protect the town. The Brigade Saulis was to follow later in the day. When the advanced guard of the Brigade Eber arrived at Santa Maria, the town was in the greatest excitement and fear, owing to considerable bodies of itnhfean7y and cavalry having shown themselves in Partly on this account, account of the length of the of and partly on Capua and the line outposts towards riNer, was found . expedient to send for the rest of the it Afternoon by rail. brigade, which arrived in the Garibaldi himself arrived soon after from Naples, ~...._ and, having made his survey, he determined to send a considerable force to Caserta and its neighbour hood, which should be able not only to keep its own against any attempt which the Neapolitans might make, but which should be likewise capable ,of taking the offensive against the river line. Gene- ral Turr was named commander of the whole force. As for any evil intentions on the part of the Neapolitan . army, it became soon apparent that they entertained none. All their measures, after the arrival of our advanced guard at Santa Maria, were evidently calculated for defence rather than attack. Not content with destroying the bridges and taking off the ferry boats, they began to construct batteries on all points where there seemed a likelihood of a passage. All along the opposite bank of the river strong posts of infantry, artillery, and cavalry were placed, and only small advanced posts sent out of Capua to observe our movements. At the same time the troops which were quartered in the villages behind and about Capua were drawn closer, so as to be available for defence. This disposition to keep strictly on the defensive was proved the next morning, the 14th, when two reconnaissances were sent out from Santa Maria—the one to the left, consisting of two companies of rifle men, on the high road to Capua, and the other, con sisting of the Hungarian Legion, to the right, on the road to San Angelo, which leads- to the Scafo di Formicola, a bridge of boats destroyed by the Nea politans. As the two bodies advanced the Neapoli tan outposts fell back, keeping up skirmishing, but retreating into the fortress of Capua. The two de tachments following till close to the end of an olive wood which borders the Campo—a kind of glacis in front of Capua. Arrived there, the guns of the for tress opened out. The object of the reconnaissance being obtained, the troops received orders to fall back, which they did without losing a single man. During the next few days all remained quiet, except a little harmless skirmishing in front of San Lencio, which lies on the road from Caserta to Cajazzo. In the meantime more and more troops were sent to Caserta and its neighbourhood, and Gen. Turr determined to make an attempt to throw some troops across the river. The 'Volturno is one of the most capriciously winding rivers in Italy, so that its line from the sea up to the foot of the heights of Cajazzo, which is scarcely more than 20 miles by the road, is pro longed, through the windings, to almost double that distance ; its banks are for the most part low, and of about equal height on both sides. As its width varies from 50 to 100 yards, there would be no great difficulty in constructing a bridge and forcing the passage on that long line. But there were several reasons against such an attempt. First, such a crossing is an awkward operation in the best case, and much more so with an army which is weak in the technical part of the art of warfare. Thus our strength lies in the moun tains, and by making a movement higher up it was possible to cross the river without finding resist ance, and thus get past the mountains on the left dank of the enemy, to organize the popular move ment in those parts, and unite with the National Guards of the province of Molise, which had al ready declared for us. With this view Major Gudafi was sent with 300 men along the road from Caserta to Campo Basso with an order to cross the Calore, a branch of the Volturno at Amovosi, and throw himself into the mountains above Cajazzo. This took place on the 17th. He sent back the next morning a report stating that Cajazzo was occupied by 2,200 Neapolitans. On this it was determined to send a battalion of riflemen, about 300 men strong, under the command of Major Catabene, in the same direction. The two were to attack Cajazzo the next day, while a great demonstration all along the line was to attract the forces of the enemy in another direction, and pre vent him from sending reinforcements towards Cajazzo. A look at the map will show you that a net work of roads leads from Caserta, Santa Maria, and Aversa towards the river, thus affording the facility of making demonstrations on several points. There is, first of all, to the right the road from Caserta 1 towards Cajazzo. It leads along the defile formed by the mountains of Caserta and the isolated group of St. Angelo, till within a couple of miles from the point where the passage is, or rather was, across the river. The next is that running from Santa Maria in a due northerly direction to St. Angelo, and to the passage calledScapo di Formicola. This road is sepa rated by the ridge of St. Angelo from the first named road, but, arrived at the bank of the river, it turns to the right and skirts the foot of the ridge of St. Angelo, and unites with it close to the point where the first comes out of the defile. The third, to the left, is the main road from Santa Maria to Capua, running in a north-westerly direction, and forming an angle of 25 degrees with that of St. Angelo ; almost parallel to it runs the railway line from Santa Maria to Capua. Then comes the main road from Aversa to Capua, which, leav ing Santa Maria to the right, passes Carditello and the Royal hunting-house close by, unites at La Foresta with the road running from the sea shore, and then proceeds along the river to Capua. The three last named roads—namely, that from Santa Maria to Capua, the railway line, and the road from Averse, enter Capua at the same point—that is, close to the river in the western angle. The town itself is built entirely on the left bank of the river, and is protected by regularly fortified bastions, while it is skirted behind by the river. In order to make a diversion and thus facilitate the taking of Cajazzo, the real object of operations the demonstration was to be made from all these roads. The Brigade Saulis, with two guns, was to advance on the extreme right on the road from Ca serta, and engage the enemy's attention towards the passage of Cajtzzo and a ford which lies be tween this and the passage of Formicola. The Bri gade Eber, starti*lg from Santa Maria, was to de monstrate against this latter, to effect a junction with the Brigade Saulis to the right, and at the Capuasame toinm thee high in h r o ad from te Santa demonstrationNiaria to againstcap Capua. a. Colonel Rustow, with six battalions and two guns, was to advance towards Capua and occupy the enemy, while on the road from Aversa to Capua Colonel Spangaro was to go with two battalions to La Foresta and operate in that direction. The order for all was not to compromise their men, but do just sufficient to force the enemy to concentrate his forces on the different threatened points. All were to be ready at 6 a.m. in the morning of St. Gennaro. As every column acted independently and had its own scope you must not expect a picture of an en semble of operations, but only screps of incidents as they occurred on the different points. To begin by the right, the Brigade Saulis advanced towards the passage of Cajazzo. When it debouched from the defile it found that the enemy held with two com panies a farmhouse situated just opposite to the ford, while on the other side of the river two guns were placed to oppose the passage. There is a row of poplars and underwood which runs along the river just on that point. These were occupied by a battalion of riflemen. Higher up were two other guns and a battalion of riflemen to defend the spot against an attack on the left flank, while behind and further down the river considerable masses of troops were concentrated. Gen. Turr commanded in person on this side. Placing the two guns he had with him in an advantageous position close to the entrance of the defile, a battalion of Saulis' Brigade was sent forward in skirmishing line, while another attacked at the point of the bayonet the companies placed in the farmhouse. These latter did not wait, but made off as fast as possible along the river's bank. Having no means of pass ing, they had to run back along the river into Ca pua. The house was then occupied, and the skir- Inisbers here pushed forward close to the river's I,T tantali bank, si ng Ro fig st h r t on t g o have the enemy so close, and yet, on account of the river, inaccessible.

While this was going on Garibaldi, w h o had just mE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 27, 1860. returned from Palermo, where the withdrawal of Depretis, the Pro-Dictator, had called him, came up, and about the same time a part of the Brigade Eber appeared on the slopes of St. Angelo. It had started from Santa Maria, and reached St. Angelo without finding any true of the enemy, except when its advanced guard came to the river, when the Neapolitans opened out from two rifled guns at the Scapo di Formicola, and from two others on the height just above it, where an isolated house stands called Casina di Palumbara. This height comes down close to the opposite bank of the river, while the heights of St. Angelo come likewise close down on the left bank. The road thus is, as it were, in a defile almost at a pistol shot from the battery opposite. It was impossible for a force unprovided with artillery to pass without exposing itself to heavy losses. It was therefore decided to leave two battalions on the road, partly to keep the enemy's attention engaged, and partly to co-operate with the column towards Capua, while the rest took the mountain road. The mountain road after crossing the ridge runs along the steep and tolerably wooded sides of the mountain called there Foresta di San Vito. Having put himself into connection with the column to the right, Gen. Garibaldi came up soon after from the plain, where he had been observing the enemy's position. The movement of this column having been observed from Capua several large columns of infantry and cavalry, besides a battery of artillery, were seen approaching in haste to support the forces ' concentrated on these points. Towards noon Gen. Turr sent the order to the Brigade Saulis to retire, the news having arrived that the operation towards Cajazzo had been successful, and that Cataben• and his riflemen had driven the enemy from that position. In this retreat, which was effected in perfect order, Baron Gezzo, a Sicilian gentleman, who had been with us since the entrance into Palermo, seeing a wounded man close to the river's bank, went out and put him on his shoulder, and was almost within the line when a rifle ball hit him through the thigh, shattering it to pieces. He was a great favourite with all, and his loss which is probable, would be universally regretted. When the Neapolitans saw that our riflemen re tired they took courage, and came down to the edge of the river, shouting " Viva it Re !"—nay, three of them swam across to turn the farm-house which had afforded a point d'appui to our riflemen. Garibaldi seeing this gave the order to occupy the house and keep the Neapolitans within due bounds. Twenty riflemen and 20 of the Swiss company of the Brigade Eber were sent down, who cleared the shore in less than ten minutes, in spite of the heavy cannonade which was opened upon them, and which soon set the whole house in a blaze. To wards two p.m. this brigade likewise received the order to withdraw. The Neapolitans, as soon as they saw the movement began shelling, and with so accurate an aim that several shells burst right amidst the troops, but by a miracle hurt not a single man. The advance on the high road from Santa Maria to Capin, had likewise begun soon after the others. The Neapolitans followed their usual tactics, draw ing the advancing columu within the range of the guns of the fortress. They sicceeded better than ever before, for one of the brigades engaged got out of hand and advanced without order till it came within range not only of the guns of the fortress, but likewise had to sustain an offensive return which the enemy made with artillery and cavalry. In vain did our two guns try to oppose the superior force ; the commander being wounded, and many of the artillerymen and horses, the guns had to be dragged back by the infantry. The Brigade Tuppi was sent in support, but unfortunately its comman der was mortally wounded in the very outset. This threw the column into confusion, and for a moment the enemy had time to retake part of the position lost and burn the farmhouses, which had been of great assistance to our men in their advance. But this was only for a short time, for, order having been restored, the Neapolitans were again driven back to the border of the olive wood, close to the glacis of the fortress. By 2 p.m. all was over on this side too, but not without the loss of above a hundred men. The column to the left front La Foresta advanced similarly, but was more fortunate in keeping within its instructions, attracting the enemy's at tention on that side, but without engaging in a combat. On the whole our loss in wounded and dead amounted to 160 men, but the object of the move ment was obtained by the taking of Cajazzo. SEPT. 22. On this side nothing new since the 19th, the Nea politans in the immediate outskirts of Capua firing away a great deal of artillery ammunition on all who show themselves. We, on our side, are wait ing for the development of the movement towards Cajazzo. This latter place was, according to the last accounts, threatened by the Neapolitans, and the Regiment Vachieri, of the Division Medici, was sent to assist. IroIVDEN GREAT HORSE FAIR, YORKSHIRE, This celebrated horse-fair, which commenced on Thursday last and continued five days, was brought to a termination yesterday. It is one of the chief horse-fairs for which this county is famed, and this year, as usual, the show was extensive, and com prised animals of first description and value. Many large strings of horses from Ireland were on offer. The fair attracted provincial dealers from all coun ties, and the principal jobmasters and others from London bought largely, and all young and sound horses readily found purchasers. Aged horses were in dull request as compared with the great horse fairs which were held in the spring of the year. Business was transacted at the following prices, viz. :—For young horses suitable for double-harness, broughams, and private carriage work, 65 to 85 guineas ; horses of high fashion were selected at figures varying from 90 to 120 guineas, and matched pairs of grays mid bays realized 250 to 300 guineas, and high-stepping ditto for phaeton and single harness 85 to 110 guineas. Thick set young horses, adapted for town work and public vehicles, obtained buyers at from 35 to4B guineas; short-jointed active horses, for van purposes and light drays, were in high competition at prices ranging from 45 to 65 guineas. Strong horses for town and roadlwork fetched from 45 to 60 guineas; well-built qmick-walking cart horses 38 to lab guineas. Aged and seasoned horses for agri cultural purposes, made 25 to 30 guineas. Cart colts made from 30 to 40 gu ineas; and two-year old ditto 20 :to 30 guineas. Well bred young horses for park hacks, chargers, &c., fetched 70 to 95 guineas, and high bred ditto 120 to 140 guineas. Cover hacks, roadsters, &c., 25 to 35 guineas. Horses of high pedigree, and broke for the hunting field, realised prices varying from 90 to 120 guineas, and horses of celebrity and up to heavy weight went at figures ranging from 130 to 150 and 180 guineas. Neat 'going co+ . 3s sold at from 20 to 28 guineas, and handsome weight carrying cobs were selected at 35 to 50 guineas ; unbroken colts sold at 20 to 45 guineas ; yearlings 12to 20 guinea s; neat pon i es f etc h e d 15 t o 20 guineas. Strong well-made young Irish horses, commanded a good sale for both riding and har ness, and made figures of from 40 to 60 guineas. A large herd of valuable young cattle, which had been bred and reared i n thi s country, were con signed from the fair to London. Competition ran high for first-class horses, and prices were 40 per cent. higher than those obtained some few years since for similar descriptions of horses.

The following is from a letter, dated Valetta, Sept. 22, half-past 2 p.m.:— " Her Majesty's ship Caesar, Capt. T. Mason, left port on the 16th inst. for Beyrout, with provisions and stores for the fleet. The Orion left on the 19th, to cruise off the coast of Sicily, that island being reported to be in a very disturbed state. There are in port the James Watt ; the Hibernia re ce i v i ng ship ; the Himalaya screw troop ship ; the Caradoc despatch boat; the Mohawk and the Boxer gunboats. " It is reported that a reactionist plot has been discovered among the exiled partisans of the King of Naples in Malta, and that a vessel has left this island for Sicily laden with Bourbon flags, made up in the form of Manchester manufactures. Castro St. Giovanni, in the province of Caltanisetta, accord ing to rumour, is to be the rallying point. There is no doubt that anarchy to a considerable extent exists in the island, and that, even at Palermo and Messina, several assassinations have taken place. In consequence of superior orders from the Director- General of Telegraphs at Palermo, and owing, it is said, to the discovery of the alleged plot in Malta, telegraphic communication between Sicily and Malta has been suspended until further orders. "From a letter published in the local journals I learn that the Sardinian Government intends to lay down an electric cable, which, if carried out, will place Malta also in telegraphic communication with the continent and the United Kingdom. " Instructions have been received from England for converting the Royal Malta Fencible Regiment into an Artillery Corps, to be designated the Royal Malta Artillery Corps,' An increase of pay has been sanctioned by the War-office. The officers will receive the same pay as officers of the Line, and 21d. per diem will be added to the non• commissioned officers and men. The regiment is to be increased by two companies —that is, from 600 to 800 strong. " Leave of absence has been granted to Lieut. Graham, 2d battalion 23d Regiment, and to Lieut. Waddington, R.A , the latter to proceed to Eng. land for three months. In the absence of Lieut.-Col Hallewell, Adjutant-General, who left by the:last English packet to Marseilles, his duties are per formed by Major Bowden, 2d battalion 22d Regi ment. " There has been a good deal of military insubor dination of late among the troops in garrison, and a few days ago a man of the 22d Regiment was tried by general court-martial for striking his cap tain. Robberies and other offences, committed by soldiers, are becoming quite common, the object alleged in many cases by the culprits being to escape military duty. " Fresh arrivals of French troops for Syria have occurred during the last few days. The French screw steamer Finistere came in on the 16th inst. from Algiers, having on board 24 officers and 661 men, under the command of Col. Dubrincl, and the Aube, on the 19th, from Algiers and Bona, with 15 officers and 278 men, all bound for Beyrout, for which place, after a brief stay, they took their departure. " A letter from Tunis, dated September 13, re ceived on the 20th inst., announces that tranquilli▪ ty remained undisturbed throughout that Regency. The Bey was to leave Tunis about the 20th of this month for Algiers, to be present at the fetes in pre paration there for the French Emperor's approach ing visit. Sidi Pasha, the brother of his Highness, who is at present in the interior administeri▪ ng justice and collecting tribute, has been recalled, to take the reins of Government during the absence of the Bey. " Accounts from Candia to the 10th inst. announce that affairs in that island were in a most alarming state, and a revolt was considered imminent. A great number of Greeks from the Morea had landed in the province of Rettimo to excite the peasants to rise against their Turkish masters, Armed bands were already moving about the country. " A letter this moment received from Marsala, dated the 19th inst., says that a flying column of 300 Garibaldian troops had visited Marsala, and was to visit different parts of the country for the preservation of order."

Goldsmith, C. 8., superintendent of Chatham Dockyard, left that establishment yester day on leave of absence from the Admiralty. Com mander C. Pope, master-attendant, has assumed the command of the establishment during the absence of Captain Goldsmith. Admiralty orders have been received at Chatham Dockyard, directing 20 additional smiths and 16 sawyers to be entered for the service of that estab lishment in order to complete those vessels nearly ready for launching. _ . . Tile Trusty, 14, iron-cased steam floating battery, in dock at Chatham, has a number of shipwrights employed on her in removing those portions of her hull which are found to be decayed from the ravages of the marine worm. During the progress of the work the timbers have been found to be considerably decayed, but every portion of the bottom found to be infested with insects is carefully removed, and new . planks substituted, in order that none of the insects may be left in the wood to continue their destructive ravages. The dimensions of the screw steam corvette Pantaloon, 11, launched yesterday afternoon at Devonport dockyard, are—length between perpen diculars, 151 ft. ; keel for tonnage, 131 ft. 31in. ; breadth, extreme, 29ft. 1 in. ; for tonnage, 28ft. gin. ; moulded, 28ft. 3in. ; depth of hold, 15ft. 10in. ; burden in tons, 557 31-94. The steam frigate Orlando, 50, got up steam in Hamoaze on Tuesday, and being assisted by the steam-tugs Prospero and Confiance, went outside Plymouth breakwater to try her machinery, and the effects of the reduction of her fan. The results appeared to be satisfactory . The gunboats Goshawk and Partridge, having undergone a thorough repair, were put out of No. 1 dock at Keyham steam-yard on Tuesday, and the Tilbury and Ripple were taken in. The St. George, 91, screw, Capt. the Hon. F. Egerton, arrived at Spithead yesterday from the eastward. She is reported to have been ashore on the banks off Flushing for some hours while in charge of a pilot. The paddle yacht Osborne, Master-Commander George K. Bower, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday afternoon from Antwerp and Dover, having called at the latter port to land some of the Royal household. _ The stem of the Royal Alfred, 91, screw, building in Portsmouth yard, was yesterday successfully raised and placed in position, under the superin tendence of Mr. llarvey, the boatswain of the yard. 7718 ARMY. The following circular memorandum, dated " Horse Guards, S.W., Sept. 20," has been issued for the information of the army at home and abroad : " Applications for promotion in or transfers with the rank of sergeant to the Army Hospital Corps are, in future, to be forwarded by the officer com manding the regiment or hospital in which the candidate may be serving, or to which he maybe attached, to the General or other officer commanding the district or station, who will be pleased to trans mit the same to this department, with his opinion thereon, for the consideration of his Royal High ness the Commander-in-Chief. "By command, " JAMES YORKE SCARLETT, Adjutant-General." The Government has given directions for a new and commodious messhouse to be erected at Fort Pitt, Chatham, the present messrooms having been found inadequate for the accommodation of the in creased number of medical officers attached to that establishment since the formation of the new army hospital school at Fort Pitt. A number of Royal Engineers commenced marking out the ground and clearing away the trees on the site selected yester day, and the building is to be at once proceeded with. Col. Walpole, commanding Royal Engineers at Woolwich, is a b ou t t o w ithd raw f ro m the service on a retiring p ens i on, an d w ill b e succ eeded by Col. Edward 'rwis s Ford, Royal E n gineers.

His successor is not yet nominated. A spacious flat-roofed magazine, covered with shingle, intended for the purpose of storing powder and ammunition under construction during the past twelvemonth in Woolwich Marsh, under the super intendence of the Army Manufacturing Department of the Royal Arsenal, and now nearly complete, was yesterday discovered to have suffered from the yielding of the base to such an extent, causing a huge cleft throughout one of the external support ing walls, that a considerable portion of the bui'd ing will have to be removed and rebuilt. The dis aster is accounted for from the effect of the late in cessant rains having carried away some of the sub jacent marshy stratum insufficiently prepared with concrete and other heavy substances in forming the foundation. It is supposed that the loss occasioned by the disaster will be borne by the Government and that the contractors, Messrs. Higgs, will not be held liable in any degree for the result, as their part of the contract has been duly carried out and completed. The solid indiarubber buffers, or springs, invented by Mr. Fuller, and employed extensively during the late Russian war, to allay the friction caused by the travelling of the ammunition and other waggons without springs, have been introduced by that gentleman for the consideration of the select committee of Woolwich Arsenal., es a counter mo tion to the recoil of the Armstrong gun in the altion of firing. Nine of the above-named buffers, about nine inches each in circumference and three inches in thickness of substance, were yesterday affixed to one of the &des of a gun-carriage employed at the proof, and several rounds were fired, when the gun was satisfactorily and effectively brought home from ,he recoil by means of the buffers, and much delay s thereby obviated by a succession of firing. ALLEGED MURDER OF A CHILD AT 110 MERTON. Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, Mr. Humphreys_ coroner for the eastern division of Middlesex, and a jury, opened an inquest at the Spread Eagle Tavern, Homerton, on the body of a child named Augustus Padfield, which had been found mutilated under the circumstances related in the evidence subjoined. A young woman named Emma Padfield, sus pected of being the mother of the child, was pre sent during the investigation, in the custody of Inspector Bowler, of the local divisional police. Mr. W. T. Graves attended to watch the proceed ings in her behalf; and Mr. F. W. Shorter, from the office of Mr. Ellis, clerk of the local vestry, was present for a similar purpose in the interest of that body. Maria Mead, the first witness called, said, in answer to questions by the Coroner—l reside at rlammond's-cottages, Lea-bridge, and am the wife of James Mead, a labourer. I had a lodger named Padfield. The woman at the bottom of the table is she. She was confined in my house about the latter end of June, but I cannot exactly say on what day. When she came to lodge with me she stated she was a single woman. She was confined of a male child, a very fine, healthy one. I saw the child washed frequently. I washed it myself on the morning it was taken away from my house. The Coroner—Was there any mark about the body of the child by which you could identify it ? Witness-Yes; there was a red mark resembling a raspberry, and like the print of a finger. The child had recently been vaccinated on the left arm by Mr. Brooks, a surgeon who attended her in her confinement. On the morning it was taken away the left arm was in a state of inflammation and dis charging matter. Of the body of the dead child which I have seen I noticed that the left arm was gone. The prisoner left my house with the child a month last Monday. She stated, previous to going, that her sister had been confined in the country about the same time as she herself had, that her sister's child was dead, and that the sister had agreed to take her child. She said she was going to take the child to meet her sister at the Camberwell station. She said she had received a letter from her sister on the Monday before, but I did not see it, and I understood that it was in consequence of that letter that the appointment was made with her sister at Camberwell. She left my house a quar ter before 12 in the morning. I washed and dressed the child for her -that morning while she was dress ing herself. I remember that its flannel petticoat had no string, and I fastened it with black cotton. (A child's petticoat produced.) That is the same flannel. I know it by the black cotton with which I sewed it. (A frock produced.) That is the frock I put on the baby that morning, and this is the pinafore marked B, and likewise the shoes and the veil and the ribands. As she left the door I kissed the baby and bid it " Good bye." She returned the same night between 11 and 12 ; she knocked at the door, and my husband got out of bed and let her in. She came to my bedside and spoke to me. She had not the child with her. She carried a basket, which I had not seen before, and which she said her sister had given her. It was a common flat basket. On Wednesday morning last I discovered something in the privy which turned out to be the body of a child. The privy in which the body was found is in a gar den, and detached from the house. The prisoner could have got to the closet on the night on which she returned without going to the house. The river had flowed into the closet and had made the body float. When the prisoner returned I asked her if she had met her sister ; she said she had, that she (the sister) had taken the child with her, and that she would be travelling all night, and would nut reach home before 10 o'clock the next morning. She said she had met her sister at half-past 5, and I thought she had had to walk home, which ac counted for her being so late. The mother suckled the child, and when it was at my house it had no illness whatever. I have no doubt the body I have seen is that of the child born at my house. By . Mr. Graves—The body is much decomposed. This is not the first time I have said there was a mark on it. By the Coroner—The next morning, after re turning to my house, the prisoner washed out the child's frock (produced) and a shawl I had lent her, and which I now wear. She said she would leave the frock for' my baby. She left on the Tuesday— that is, the next day—saying she was going to a situation. I did not see her again until she was in custody. The witness then withdrew. Mrs. Mead was recalled, and stated that the frock produced had been washed since the prisoner washed it. Hannah Williams—l live in the next house to the last witness. The prisoner is the person who was confined there of a child. I washed and dressed the child for more than a week. I perceived a mark near the naval like the print of a finger. It had that mark, I believe, from its birth. The child had been vaccinated on its left arm shortly before it was taken away, and the arm was inflamed, and some little matter was being discharged from it. That I noticed a day or two before it was taken away. I observed when the body was taken out of the privy that the left arm had been taken off. On the Fri day before she left the prisoner read a letter to me, to the effect that she was to take the child into the country on the following Monday to meet her sis ter-in-law. She said she was to meet her at the station, but she did not say what station. She said her sister was coming from the country to fetch it. She added that her sister had been confined of a child, which had died, and that her sister was going to take her child. She had previously told me that she was going to a situation on the Tuesday, and I saw her on the Tuesday evening before she left for that purpose. She had then a flat basket. By Mr. Shorter—She said the child was going to her sister's in the country, but she did not say where. She had never before spoken to me about her sister-in-law. By the Coroner—l saw a letter which the post man had brought for her to my house by mistake. She told me on opening it that it contained a Post office order, and that it was from Fred. She said the father of the child was her young master, Fre derick Bryant, and that he lived somewhere in Islington, I think—but I cannot remember where. James Mead said—l live at Hammond's Cot tages, Lea-bridge. On this day week my wife called my attention to something in the privy. I took it out, and it proved to be the body of a child. It looked very much like the child born at my house. The privy was emptied about a week be fore the prisoner left, and there was about three feet of water and soil in it when the body was found. I have since emptied the privy, but I did not find the missing arm, nor have I yet found it. I saw just outside the door of the privy some marks of blood, as I believe, on the brick work ; but I can not say that it was blood. William Bowler, an inspector in the metropoli tan police, said,—From information I received I apprehended the prisoner at No. 13, Lansdowne road, Notting-hill, where she was living in the ser vice of gentleman named Drakes. I found in her box the articles which have been produced, except the frock and several letters. She went there by the name of Emma Patfield. She had written a letter to Mrs. Mead requesting her not to write to her there. I had told her I was a police-officer, and cautioned her in the presence of her master and mistress before I said a word to her about the matter. I charged her with killing " her child. She said she knew nothing about it. I said, You were delivered of a child in June last at Lea bridge." She said she was. Her mistress said to her, " What a wicked girl y ou have been !" S he replied, "I ha v e b een in great distress and . have even wanted bread ; but indeed I did not do i t my self." Afterwards, when 1 wa s with her in the kitchen, as she was collecting her clothes, she said if I had kept away all would have come ent• ral4t was after I had cautioned her. She said nothing more. When the privy was emptied I noticed what I thought was blood in splashes on some bricks near to the door, but I could not say it was blood. Mrs. Mead was recalled and shown a letter which she said she had received from the prisoner about three weeks ago. Her husband read it to her, and it contained the remark that she was then living at Mrs. Bean's, in the Hampstead-road, near Chalk-farm. The Coroner asked the prisoner if she wished to say anything ? _ . Mr. - Graves, replying for her, said not then. Inspector Bowler having stated that he hoped to be able to produce some material evidence, if time were allowed, The inquest, on the recommendation of the Coroner, was adjourned until Wednesday next, at 3 o'clock. THE STEPNEY MURDER. A portion of the following appeared in our impression of yesterday : Walter Thomas Emma, boot and shoe maker and rent collector, aged 45, dwelling at the time of his apprehension in Emsley's brick field, Grove-street, Bethnal-green ; and James Mullins, aged 50, a plaisterer, and formerly a set, geant in the K division of the Metropolitan police, after wards an inspector in tho Irish constabulary, again a ser geant in the K division, subsequently employed on the South Eastern Railway, and lastly a convict under sen tence of six years' penal servitude for a robbery on that railway, were brought before Mr. Selfe, charred with the wilful murder of Mrs. Mary Emsley, a widow, at No. 9, Grove-road, Mile End, on or about the 16th of August last. Mr. Wontner, solicitor, conducted the prosecution ; Mr Rose, the deceased's late solicitor, and Mr. Ratcliff, solicitor, of Dean Colet House, and acting for tho relatives and exe cutors of the deceased lady, were also in attendance. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, of Arbour-square, again attended for Emms ; Mr. Herbert Wood, solicitor, watched the case for Mullins. Police-sergeant Edmund Dillon, No. 19 K, proved being called by Erams on the 17th of August last to the house of the deceased, where he found her body. Mr. Faith, the de ceased's son-in .law, went for a surgeon. The left hand window of the bedroom was partially open, the right hand window was closed. The blinds were up. Outside the door of the room where the deceased was lying he found a bloody mark of a foot, with nails on the boot. That mark was on the landing. The nails appeared to have been on one side of the boot only. Cross -examined by Mr. H. Wood—l discovered the bloody foot-print before I entered the room. By Mr. Selfe—The direction of the foot-print appeared to be that of a man coming from the room. Mr. John Joshua Carryer said—l am one of the firm of Pickering and Carryer, and reside at No. 4, Suffolk-street, Cambridge-road, Bethnal-green. Part of our business premises belonged to the deceased. I saw her on Monday, 13th'of August last, about 12 o'clock, in her usual health. Mr. Wontner—Look at that cheque, produced by Inspec tor Thornton. Witness—The cheque produced is for £lO. I paid it on that day, the 13th. It is dated on the 14th. That is an error. I wrote it on the 13th, and gave it to the deceased on the 13th. Miss Elizabeth Bushley deposed—l live at No. 16, Grove-road, Mile-end. That is exactly opposite the house of the deceased. I was well acquainted with her person. I last saw her alive on the 13th of August, about a quarter before or a quarter past seven in the evening. She was seated at the first floor bedroom window. I noticed the house aga!n at a quarter before 12. The shutters were not closed. It had been the custom of the deceased to close them before I went. At daybreak next morning I observed the house again. It was in the Berne state. The blind was up in the first-floor window about half way, and the other was down. There were no blends on the top floor. One of the windows was partly up, the other was closed. On the Wednesday morning, the 15th, a man knocked at the de ceased's door twice, waited a short time, and then went away. I have frequently seen people come to the deceased's house, knock for admittance, and the deceased would answer them from the window or the area. When persons brought anything the deceased admitted them. No one could enter the area. It was railed over. By Mr. Herbert Wood—l have frequently seen the de ceased admit persons without first talking to them if she knew them. She would look at them through the window before going to the door. The people she admitted without first talking to them were persons who went there very often. I did not go to bed till a little after 12 on the 13th. I got up at 8 en the 14th. Sergeant Dillon recalled—There is no door out of the back. It is entirely surrounded by walls about six feet in height on three sides, and by the house on the fourth side. I got over one of the back walls to obtain admission to the deceased's house on the 17th inst., when I discovered the body. Miss Elizabeth Frances Muggeridge said—l live at 17, Grove-road, opposite the deceased's house. I saw her the 13th of August seated at the bedroom window. I observed the house between 10 and 11 the same night. I observed:it was exactly the same as when I saw it in the afternoon. The parlour windows were not closed. On Wednesday, the 15th of August, abeut 11 o'clock, I saw a man and a woman at the door of No. 9. They knocked two or three times. The door was not opened. They looked up at the house and went away. The deceased was in the practice of look ing at people through the window before she opened the door and admitted there. Wm. Smith, in the employ of Mr. Linsell, linendraper, said—l live at 3, Prospect-place, Mile-end-road. On Tues day, the 14th of August, I went to Mrs. Enssley's house at half-past eight in the morning. I knocked at the door several times, and could gain no admittance. I repeated my visit the same evening, and after knocking several times waited five minutes and looked through the keyhole. The back door appeared to be open. I could see the garden. Joseph Biggs said—l reside at 25, Pollard's- row, Bethnal-green. I was on very intimate terms with the deceased and also with her late husband. I was greatly in her confidence—no one more so. She entrusted me with her plate for safe custody. I have it now. I visited her every Sunday, and frequently during the week, and kept her accounts. I last saw her alive on the 12th of August. On leaving her I appointed to meet her again on the Tues day following. I was prevented going there at the hour appointed, but I went at half-past one. Knocked several times, and, not being able to obtain admission, left. I re turned in a. quarter of an hour and was again unable to ob tain admission. I was sent for on Friday, the 16th, and then saw Mr. Rose, the deceased's solicitor, Mr. Faith, and some others in the house. Mrs. Emsley was then dead. He was then directeed to look upon a pair of lenses. He believed them to be the property of the deceased. She exhibited them to me three weeks or a month before her death. I examined them ; they were much chafed. One was thicker than the other. The witness was directed to look at a pencil-case. He believed it to have belonged to the deceased. It was formerly placed in his charge with some plate. He returned it to her some months ago. I* was a peculiar pencil-case. He noticed the peculiarities of the head and the point. By Mr. Selfe—l never knew the deceased to write. I wrote her letters and her receipts. She had an account at the London and Westminster Bank sometime ago, but not of late. Sho had drawn all her money out of the bank to make purchases. Elizabeth Gibbs, the wife of Joseph Gibbs, of Barnsley street, Bethnal-green, said she was the niece of the de ceased, and was in the practice of calling to see her in her life time. She identified the pencil-case, and she last saw her aunt alive on Monday the 13th of August, and dined with her. She left the house of witness at a quarter to 2 o'clock. The prisoner Mullins was often employed by her aunt. He came :to :her :house on Monday, the 13th inst. for a box lock to put on one of aunt's houses. She gave him a box lock. Her aunt was present. The prisoner re turned with the lock, and said it was a key be wanted, not a lock. Her aunt gave him a bunch of keys. He came back a third time, and received another bunch of keys for other houses. After other evidence identifying the pencil-case of the deceased, and a statement from Mr. Gill, the surgeon, that there were spots of blood upon it, and that it was human blood, Ann Cooper, of No. 12, Little Orford-street, Marl boreugh-road, Chelsea, said—Mullins and his wife and family;consisting of two sons and a daughter, lived in my house from the commencement of June until the 26th of August. After they left Inspector Thornton came to my house, and found a blucher boot in the dust-hole one foot below the surface. It was thrown out of the window of the room where Mullins and his family lived the day before they removed. My daughter put the boot in the dust-hole. Mullins used to tell me that he was in the employ of Mrs. Emsley, of Stepney. He was in the practice of goi ng away on Monday morning and returning on Saturday evening. In cross-examination by Mr. H. Wood, the witness said that she knew James Mullins, the prisoner's son. Ile oc casionally dined with her. She was not engaged to him. Mr. Wood wished to show there was angry feeling exist ing between the witness and the prisoner's family, when Mr. Self() interposed, and said all the wit ness h ad said was that a shoo was found , and had not oven said it belonged to Mullins. Ellen George, a charwoman, said—l was in theemplo y o f the deceased, and occasionally waited upon her. an S g h e e ra w fr as ona a woman in o d f a c w au w tir ea s h l ab w i a ts e . n S a h t e e th an er s e w , answered no other attendant.

I saw Mullins carry those which were in the parlour up stairs. Mullins came to the house to be paid every Saturday.saw I him there on the Satur day before her d ea th . I saw him paid. I heard her give him ordoro to whitoyr " tho giitohou Rhea gaga k paid him on the Saturday before her death. She paid him about Gs. He left at seven. I did not leave until ten Mrs. Emsley had some spoons. They were safe when I loft. I heard of Mrs. Emsley's death on the Friday week Cross-examined by Mr. H. Wood—l saw no one carry up paper hangings in deceased's house except Mullins. By Mr. Selfe--I have seen Mrs. Emsley write. Her sight was good. Thomas Pryor, barman of the Royal Oak, Keppel-street, Chelsea, knew the prisoner Mullins. He had seen him several times. On the 7th September he bought a pencil case (the one with the spots of blood upon it) of the pri soner's wife. After he heard of the prisoner's apprehen sion he gave it to his master, who went with it to the police station. Michael GaZerey said—l live in Crombie's-row, Cam bridge-road, Bethnal-green, and am a cooper. On tho 13th of August last the prisoner came to my house to in spect some work that was to be done, and appointed to be with me next day at an early hour, but he did not came at the appointed time. In the course of the week the pri soner pat up some paper-hangings. He put up some of the paper topsy-turvy, and did not do his work as he ought to do. On the following Friday while they were at work, a mau named Rowland said he had heard there had been a murder in the Grove-road, wondering whether it was Mrs. t Insley. Mullins said he had heard something of it him self. Rowland went away from the house for a short time, and when he returned he said, " I am blowed if it is not true, for I have heard it from a woman I summoned last week." Rowland and Mullins went away and returned again. . . . The witness then deposed to a long conversation between Mullins, Rowland, and himself, relating to Mrs. Emsley, in which an anecdote of her manners was related by Mul- lins, who said he had two drops on the strength of it, and meant to have another. In cross-examination by Mr Hubert Wood, the witness said he " did not knew whether the drops were taken on the strength of Mrs. Emsley's death or any other cause." William Rowland, of No. 26, Barnslerstreet, Bethnal green, formerly a warrant officer and policeman at the Wor ship-street Police-court, and now a paper-hanger, was in the practice of collecting rents for the deceased. He saw her last alive at two o'clock on the 13th of August last, when she paid him a balance of money. The evidence of the witness was confirmatory of the last .witness, and when he had finished the Court adjourned, and the pri soner was remanded. COUNTRY MARKETS. SHEFFIELD-SEPT. 25.

A LARGE PIKE.—A few days ago Mr. Charles Drummond, Abercairney, Crieff, succeeded in hooking a large pike while fishing in the pond near the mansion house. The fish gave him fine sport, but he succeeded in bringing it to land. It weighed sixteen pounds. A pike was caught in the same pond about twenty years ago which is said to have weighed sixty-five pounds.
