As they marched past the troops filed off to their respective quarters, which they reached shortly before two o'clock. The arrangements consequent upon the removal of Depot Battalions from Ireland, and distributing them among Depot Battalions in England have now been effected as far as Colchester is concerned. The battalions at the camp are now formed as follows . —4th Depot Battalion—depots Ist and 2d bat talions 16th Regiment, 35th, 41st, 49th, 82d, and 98th Regiments, under the command of Colonel Farren, C.B.

Nutt, 17th Brigade Royal Artil lery, and Lieut. C. A. Cresswell, 23d Brigade, have been placed under orders, at Chatham, to embark for India. The Military Store department at Woolwich was on Saturday engaged throughout the day, by special order from the War-office, in embarking stores on board her Majesty's paddle steam-vessel Medusa, Commander Thomas Potter. The stores are to be transhipped at Portsmouth to the screw steam troopship Orontes, Capt. Henry W. Hire, for conveyance with all despatch to Quebec. The 9sigp includes 150 tons of powder, contained in about 4,00' 4 0 bar and quarter barrels, issued from No. 1 land magazine in the Royal Arsenal marsh at Plumstead. Commander Potter reported his intention to leave Woolwich this morning by the early tide at daybreak, the Orontes being under orders to sail from Portsmouth for Quebec to morrow. A large number of artillery, guns, car riages, and harness, and other stores for cavalry and infantry will follow in a few days. A number of 7-inch shells and other war stores were on Saturday laden at Woolwich Arsenal, in Sales's barges and lighters, for transmission to the ship Her Majesty, now lying in the East India Docks, for Hongkong, and a couple of light 3-pounder bat teries, intended for hilly country, and to be used in - case of need over the ploughed fields, are in readi ness for shipment for British Guiana. Thl Hop and Mat Exchange. On Friday the foundation stone of the Hop and Malt Exchange and Warehouse Company (Limited) buildings was laid by Sir Brook W. Bridges, M.P. The building, of which Mr. Moore is architect, has a frontage of 320 ft. in Southwark-street, and encloses an area of nearly 26,000 square feet, and being im mediately opposite the new premises of the Hop Planters' Association, in the centre of the hop trade operations, and in close proximity to the borough branches of the London and County, London and Westminster, and Alliance Banks, occupies, perhaps, the most eligible site that could be selected for the purposes of the company in the borough. From the locality, magnitude, and appointments of the building, it is calculated to afford every facility for the transaction of busi ness according to the various requirements of the trade, so that growers, merchants, dealers, and buyers will have the advantage of a ready and well attended market close to the terminus of the rail ways which pass through the hop-growing districts of Kent, Surrey, and Sussex, and thus avoid the inconvenience of visiting the merchants' counting houses iu various parts of the borough. Space is also to be provided for private and • general offices, stowage of stock, and samples and show-rooms, with every requisite, for the complete accommoda tion of tenants and shareholders. The proceedings were commenced by Mr. Ogilvy, one of the direc• tors of the Company, who introduced Sir Brook Bridges, whom they had invited to lay the foun dation stone, as representing one of the divisions of the county of Kent, peculiarly interested in the production of hops. The hon. baronet was re ceived with loud cheers by the shareholders, hop growers, brewers, and others interested in the hop and malt trades who were present. The secretary, Mr. Herbert R. Duke, then read the prospectus of the company, which, along with the articles of the association and the coins of the realm, Sir B. Bridges deposited in the' cavity over which the foundation stone was laid, and cemented with the' accustomed formalities, the worthy baronet wishing a happy and prosperous future to the building so auspi ciously commenced. Immediately after the cere mony an elegant lunch, supplied by Messrs. Ber tram and Roberts, of the Crystal Palace, was pro vided by the company under an awning on part of the site to be occupied by the building. Sir Brook Bridges presided, supported by Messrs. Ogilvy, Dyer, Lucas, Conybeare, Humphreys, Addis, and Taylor, directors ; Mr. Slater, manager; Mr. Duke, secretary ; Mr. Moore, architect, &c. Covers were laid for 80; the viands, wines, fruits, &c., were of the choicest character. After the usual loyal toasts, the chairman proposed " Prosperity to the Hop and Commercial Exchange Company," and testi fied to the beneficial effect which he had no doubt the building they had inaugurated was destined to have ou the interests of hop-growers, dealers, buy ers, and consumers in general. The legislation of last Session showed in the strongest manner the ne cessity of some such institution as this. Powers were given of an extraordinarycharacter,requiring the vari ous growths of hops should be marked, so that pro ducers and consumers might be satisfied that no adulteration had taken place. Indeed, the arrange ments of the company were such as in a great de gree to enable them to implement satisfactorily the requirements of the Legislature. The toast was acknowledged by Mr. Ogilvy. Mr. Conybeare proposed the health of the chairman, Sir Brook Bridges, who returned thanks, and gave " The Di rectors," which was acknowledged by Mr. Hum phreys, after which the company separated.

The termination of the Venetian diffi culty will soon be followed by the solution of the Roman question. _ _ THE " SATURDAY REVIEW" ON WHY DO Alzil Go INTO PARLIAMENT.—The disclosures before the elec tion commission all illustrate one point—the great anxiety of many men to become members of Par liament at any price. It is clear that there are in England several scores of men anxious, not only to find opportunities of spending sums varying in amount from £5,000 to £lO,OOO on a contested election, but also to celebrate their success by the regular payment of annuities of more than £l,OOO a year to their constituents. It becomes a ques tion of considerable public interest to inquire, who are these men, and what do :they want ? We are not speaking of county members, or of bar risters. Their Parliamentary raison d'etre is ap parent enough. County members for the most part represent, not only the present opinions of certain constituents, but the traditions of the counties, and, in•some degree, of the country itself. Dismissing, then, the cases of territorial and legal M.P.'s, the question remains—Who are the men that represent the larger and more costly boroughs, and why do they take the trouble of paying so much for the position ? Looking over the lists of members, we are struck with the great number of contractors, merchants, bankers, brokers, colonial landowners ,or traders, directors of financial and other companies, and capitalists, or quasi-capita lists, of every description. In a commercial and speculative age it is natural enough that a certain number of representatives of the people should be the representatives of commerce and capital. But a further reference discloses the fact that thosewhom the boroughs have sent to the House of Commons are not among the best informed, or the most ca pable of giving information, even on their own spe cial subjects. The reason is plain why such men wish to get into Parliament. The position of a member of Parliament is the highest—nominally all but the highest, practically the highest—in the king dom. It is not quite equal to that of a Peer ; and it isnot permanent, like that of a peer; but in other respects it is as good. The House of Commons has gradually absorbed more and more of the Govern ment of the empire. On all great and momentous questions which stir the heart of the country it does, de facto, make or unmake the policy and the administration. The most ordinary M.P. may re gard himself as the 658th part of the great govern ing machine which wields or modifies the policy of England. This is of itself an abstract satisfaction for which a rich parvenu is content to pay hand somely. But it involves a concrete enjoyment which is more palpable and immediate. It is not enough to have " begun life" with 55., and to have made £300,000 or £400,000 in 20 or 25 years. That will not win admission into the " best society." Whatboots itto have made money and bought a fine place and become a squire ? The rich parvenu fancies that he is only a Brummagem squire after all. lie curses the condition of all things. He curses the aristocracy. He recalls the Radical creed of his youth, and regrets he ever abandoned it. He wishes he were a dissenter. He would then build a chapel and preach his own politics to his own tenants. While he is viewing all things in general through the lurid glass of a morbid imagination, the tempter appears to him in the guise of an election agent. This man knows a borough which is ar dently seeking just such a member as he would be. As to the expenses, the legitimate expenses, they are only a few hundreds; and as to the illegitimate expenses, why should gentlemen talk of such things? From that moment the whole current of his thoughts is changed. Life assumes another and more cheer ful colour. Parliament is the " open sesame" of his every aspiration and ambition. Once enter the portals of St. Stephen's, and everything else opens before him. He becomes forthwith a governing entity. He sits on the same bench with men whose forefathers have sat therein every Parliament since the Revolution. Ile pairs with a viscount or a marquis. If he makes a few observations, he is spoken of by Mr. Gladstone or Mr. Disraeli as " my honourable friend." Invitations to dinners and soirees inundate him. His daughters dance with peers and the sons of peers. Before six months of a London season have passed over their regene rate condition, they find they can cut their hum bler neighbours from the country as gracefully as ever they were cut themselves. The father's hap piness is restored, and the mother's heart swells with triumph. " THE EXAMINER" ON THE FOLLY OF FOLLIES. —Well may Colonel Sykes say that the millions expended upon our fortifications have been thrown away. If an individual had wasted his means in a similar way he would have been pronounced in competent to manage his affairs, and shut up in a lunatic asylum. here and there the country is dis figured by unmeaning obelisks and towers, stuck on hills, to which the name of Follies is given, Snob's Folly, Acres's Folly. The Portsdown works are a gigantic State Folly, crowning the hill, as it were, typically, with a fool's cap. It is true that the hill overlooks Portsmouth, but no enemy could get to it who had not the command of the country, and having that command he would have something better to do than to besiege Portsmouth. ° Upon examining the country it will be seen to be so intersected by waters and marshes that from whatever point an enemy might be supposed to land he could not get to Portsdown without a great detour. To make such a circuit with the heavy material necessary for a siege would be impossible without the complete mastery of the in terior, possessed of which, as we have before observed, an invader who lost time upon a bombardment of Portsmouth would be as stupid as the wiseacres who have covered Portsdown with fortifications against such a contingency. The works are permanent, of course, as permanence carries the cost to the highest pitch. But the field-works answering the same purpose, or more effective, might be thrown up by navvies in ten days or a fortnight, properly planned beforehand, and would not cost a twentieth part of the money. Resort to them, too, would not be had till the highly improbable occasion arose. But these considerations had no weight with a Govern ment regardless of expense, and guided by mili tary engineers who held nothing like leather. But bad as the Portsdown Folly is, it is not the worst, for nothing there is spoiled except some grazing downs. To Alderney we must look for the most complicated and consummate folly. Alderney is quite out of the track of ships going up or down channel, the rule with all such being to hug the English rather than the opposite coast. But the brilliant idea struck the Government of making Alderney a harbour of refuge and naval station. And for this object the engineers have gone to work so cleverly as to destroy the little natural shelter which the island possessed at St. Ann's. They have made an artificial reef, cutting up the anchorage, small as it was. A writer in the Times, who evidently understands his subject, gives this account of the present state of things :—" My conviction, as an entirely unprejudiced person, is that the public money , has hitherto been, and is still being, lavished there on a gigantic blunder. In fact, a million ster ling flung into the sea has only done harm ; it has partially filled up with a mountain of stones the natural harbour of St. Ann's, without having contri buted to its safety in any respect; on the contrary, the north and north-east winds are thereby drawn as through a funnel into a narrow. cul de sac, where nothing can ride at safe moorings, if there is even the most moderate breeze from those usual wintry quarters, while at least half of the old anchorage ground is rendered shoal and dangerous by the wide sloping sides of the breakwater. Whether or not an arm thrown into the sea to screen the east—and its cost a second million—may be worth while I cannot undertake to say; it would look like obstinate persist ence in a fault, that common course so fatally ruinous; but at present this vaunted national work is only a source of maritime peril, worse than any reef of rocks in these parts. The whole thing from beginning to end is an extravagant blunder, disgraceful to its promoters and abettors in every way. No large ship of war can safely anchor at St. Ann's ; as for the secrecy of the matter, French telescopes while command the breakwater eastwardly, le 5,000 men are required for the f orts, and allto protect a roadstead not now available for our Royal navy, and half ruined by fillinGgoivnornouriesutm aollflicoriaaflst: through the blunders of our tln s . w h a u s t t eo Who are personally to blam eo e m f the public money no one s for • • " knows or to all affair would be highly cer tainly the whole case calls loudly . inquiry."

The cession of Venetia will be effected by an arrangement satisfac tory to all parties concerned. The Emperor of the French has found an issue out of the difficulty created by the inconsiderate' haste of the Emperor of Austria. Indeed, it may be said of all the Poten r tates engaged in the late hostilities that, however improvident some of them may have shown them selves in matters connected with their own interests, they have, on the whole, behaved more handsomely to each other than the leaders in any war which history records. Even the Emperor Francis Joseph must be acquitted of any illwill towards the Italians in the resolution he came to after Koniggratz to make over Venetia to a neutral Power. Placed between two enemies, both of - whom he hoped to overcome, he adopted from the beginning a very different policy with each of them. With Prussia he knew that he was struggling for very life. But, as to Italy, he was from the first resignad to the loss of Venetia, and was only bent on administer ing a severe humiliation to the Italians before he had done with them for ever. To gratify this vindictive feeling, which he justified on the plea of maintaining the honour of the Austrian•arms, he sent the elite of his troops to the south of the Alps ; but he purchased his victory of Custozza dearly by the necessity it involved of leaving Saxony and the Bohemian passes exposed to the inroads of the Prus sians. Warned Ortis fatal error by the disaster of Kouiggratz, he endeavoured, though too late, to re trieve his fortunes by cutting short the Italian struggle, and by a concentration of his forces for the defence of his capital. Recurring to his original resolution, he was only too anxious to be rid of Venetia, and would at once have marched out of its fortresses could he have found a retreat consistent with his safety and honour. He could, however, even had his pride allowed it, come to no terms with the Italians, as they had their hands tied by their treaty of alliance with the Prussians ; nor could he address words of peace to the Prussians, as he knew they would insist on con ditions he was not yet prepared to accede to. In this complication of difficulties he turned to the Emperor Napoleon, and as in 1859 he had given up Lombardy to France, although he was perfectly sure that it would immediately be transferred to Italy, he now thought that a cession which was really and solely to benefit King Victor Emmanuel might be effected with less loss of dignity if it were made to the Emperor Napoleon. He was hardly aware of the mischief he was doing. Neither he nor the Emperor Napoleon doubted the readiness of the Italians to accept the proffered boon, no matter under what circumstances it came to them ; but they were mistaken. A chivalrous sense of duty to their Prussian allies, and the consciousness of un merited defeat, prompted the Italians to spurn as a gift the prizd they were bent on winning by might of arm% and they marched upon the disputed ter ritory little caring whether it still belonged to their enemy or had actually become the property of their former benefactor and ally. Had not the French Emperor's patience and moderation, or, we may well say, his sense of justice, been proof against all provocation, had he resented Cialdini's advance as an attack upon himself, and had he, as it was then said, issued orders to the Toulon fleet to proceed at once to Venice, it would be difficult to calculate the consequences of such a resolution upon the desti nies, not only of Italy, but of Europe. But the Emperor Napoleon was in this matter actuated throughout only by two great motives—the welfare of Italy and the restoration of peace. To bend Austria to peaceful counsels, after her overthrow at Koniggratz, was easy, It was only necessary that he should clearly give Austria to understand that he neither could nor would do anything for her. Austria had to accept Prussia's terms, and among the Articles of the Prussian Treaty the unconditional cession of Venetia was dis tinctly stipulated. That cession, however, had been made by the Emperor Francis Joseph to France, and Italy had refused the boon at the hands of the French Emperor. Happily, he was too magnani mous to take offence at the stubbornness of the Italians. He honoured in them that feeling of jealous pride which had borne up against a long series of undeserved misfortunes, and he determined that Venice should be ceded neither to France nor to Italy, but to the Venetians themselves, and the emancipated people are now to dispose of themselves by a popular vote. What the results of an appeal to universal suffrage will be , under s uc h circum it is easy to fo resee . N e i t h er stances, in Venetia, the French Emperor nor any man in the world can have a doubt on the subject. The Venetians had already pronounced in favour of annexation to Piedmont by a vote of their National Assembly, under the Dictator Manin, in 1848. That vote has been confirmed by the unmistakable yearning of the population for the last eighteen years. The King of Italy is already in possession of at least three-fourths of the territory. His commissaries have promul gated the Italian Constitution in their seats of Go vernment. They have re-organised the municipal authorities. The liberators have everywhere been hailed with frantic joy. In Venice itself women are busy night and day preparing tricolour cockades and standards for the happy day of deliv erance . N o one knows better than the Emperor Napoleon what the vote of the Venetians will be. No one can be better convinced than he that a restoration of the ancient Republic of St. Mark must appear to those people scarcely more desirable than a continuance of the Austrian yoke, for Venice has only a chance of re vival if reunited to Lombardy. Abandoned to her self and her province, she would he in almost a worse condition than that from which she hopes now at last to escape. The Emperor Napoleon, however, has only, as we said, put forth that condition of an appeal to the population to save the susceptibilities both of Austria and Italy, and to relieve himself from a province which was never intended for him and which he could never turn to any good pupose. Whatever errors may be attributed to his policy in other parts of the world, there is no doubt that his conduct to Italy has been consistently generous and considerate. The liberation of Italy was the dream of his youth, when he and his brother joined the patriotic ranks in Romagna thirty-five years ago. It was his mature design as Emperor of the French when, in his Milan proclamation of 1859, he bade the Italians be soldiers, that they might become free PRICE.... 4d. STAMPED sd. its own tale of impracticability in process of execution. But the argument was always for throwing good money after bad, that the thousands expended would be wholly wasted if other thousands were not spent to finish that which should never have been begun. Th e b es t ex p en dit ure w ould now be upon some tons of powder to blow up the works and restore the place to its original state, but so little is it ever used as a harbour of refuge that it may be questionable whether it is worth while to spend money to undo what has been done, and restore its primitive natural shelter, such as it was. There is only one thing to be said for Alderney, and that is that a worse plan was proposed and adopted for a harbour of refuge in Jersey, but it was found too bad for execution and abandoned. Naval and Military intelligence. The most important subject for the consideration of the Lords of the Admiralty in their present in spection of the dockyard and other naval establish ments at Devonport is undoubtedly the present extent of the dock, basin, and wharf accommodation available for the repairs and outfit of our ironclad fleets, and the proposed additions. The Select Com mittee of the House of Commons recommended that the establishment at Keyham should be ex tended by adding at least two docks and a basin, to be accessible at all times of the tide, as with the new docks and basin at Portsmonth, the tenders for the execution of which Were received from the several 'contractors, at the Admiralty - an Friday last. Not withstanding this recommendation of the committee, Sir J. Pakington and his colleagues in will find that no steps whatever have been taken the matter. That the engineer who designed the present docks and basin foresaw and partially provided for the future extension of the work is evident, for in the north wall of the basin may be clearly traced the necessary formation in the work to admit of anew and capacious entrance being formed there in. con nexion with any future extension. Indeed this was one of the things specially provided for by Mr. Scamp, the Deputy-Director of Architectural Works, &c., to the Admiralty, in his designs for the docks and basins as then carried out. No one will be in clined to dispute the assertion that the Select Com mittee of the House of Commons, after their long and laborious investigation of the subject, arrived at a sound conclusion in recommending the extension of the present dock, basin, and wharf accommodation at Devonport and Keyham, and in urging also that the proposed additions should be effected with all possible vigour. The Board of Admiralty during their present visit to Devonport and' Keyham may rea sonably be expected to deal with this important sub ject, and especially may they be expected to do this effectually from the fact of the present First Lord having been a prominent member of the committee, which unanimously agreed for the immediate exten sion of Keyham's docks and basins. It is asserted that Sir John Pakington has declared the present visit of his Board to the dockyards to be strictly a matter of business, and not a mere formal procession as in previous years. Sir John is now very anxious to increase our ironclad navy, and also to provide adequate dock and basin accommodation, at the chief ports for outfit and repair. The first he is likely to carry out in accordance with his own ideas and those of the Controller of the Navy, Rear-Admiral R. S. Robinson. The second is all prepared to his hands, and he has only to take care that the whole thing is set fairly going to insure its success. Sir John is, however, not tb e first declared naval reformer on first accession to office, and he will find, as all his prede cessors have done, startling impediments in his path. There is not an official surrounding " the Board" at Whitehall who is not pledged, by virtue of his pre sent position and old traditions, to fight to the death against any change whatever. -Now, these are the men to whom a new Board has to turn for informa tion, to learn from, in fact, the actual duties of their new office. Sir John will find no advantage in any encounter with these men by having previously hell the office of " First Lord." They will first of all " give bim plenty of rope," as they playfully term the ancient usage, and when the proper time comes check hlm sharply, and bewilder him with elaborately filled sheets of foolscap. What chance can Sir John have in any scheme for reform of the Admiralty and the administration of the navy with the permanent staff so entirely opposed to him, and holding him, as they necessarily do, completely in their power ? At the dockyards the same feeling and nearly the same power exists with regard to the Admiralty. The officers of her Majesty's dockyards seem very sub missive to the Board in its annual visitations, and yet they know that they and their brethren in London really govern the administration of her Majesty's dockyards and the navy, and not "My Lords." The system which commands a dockyard official to return an even balance-sheet, but forbids him to give a truthful return, and thus renders all dockyard returns of estimates and expenditure not worth the paper they are written upon, has not been improved by the Stansfeld " labour charts" and other new additions, which have only made it more ridiculous than before. Sir John Pakington can only effect permanent good at the Admiralty or in our dockyards by first destroying this " system." H e m ay have the courage, but has he the power for so great a task? _ _ _ The recent successful trial of the ‘ 4 Phillip's patent rotatory cylinder" for cleaning ship's bottoms on the bottom of the iron screw yacht Fairy at Ports mouth has induced the Lords of the Admiralty to order the cylinder tried on the Fairy to be forwarded at once to Portland to her Majesty's ship Achilles, for Capt. Vansittart to try it upon the bottom of his ship and report upon it to the Admiralty. The cylinder is coated externally with diagonally fixed brushes and scrapers. Inside it carries a screw, the action of the water on the screw turning the cylinder—either by the running Through of the water or the passage of the ship through the water —and bringing the brushes or scrapers to bear on the bottom of the ship. An arrangement of light chains and ropes gives a certain means of moving the cylinder upwards and downwards or forward and aft as required in cleaning the ship's bottom. So far as any judgment may be formed at present of the capabilities of this invention it certainly ap pears that no ship supplied with them need ever be allowed to have a foul bottom, or, having one, the means of cleansing it is certain, and but the work of a short time. - The East In diaman Walmer Castle has been taken up by the Hon.
