Yesterday morning at 8 o'clock the Ist Battalion Coldstream Guards, commanded by Lieut.-Col. Feulding, paraded at the Infantry Barracks, Sheet street, Windsor, and marched with drums and fifes to the Eton side of the river, where some 200 of the men were engaged in a succession of aquatic sports and exercises, such as swimming, diving, and other feats. The battalion afterwards returned through the town, the troops singing on their way back to the barracks a variety of popular songs. The bat talion will leave Windsor on Friday for New Chel sea Barracks. The detachments from the 4th King's Own Regi ment, 15th, 20th, and 35th Regiments, selected to augment the service companies of the Royal Cana dian Rifles Regiment, the particulars of which were given in Ihe Sun of yesterday, left Chatham gar rison at an early hour yesterday morning for Ports mouth, where they embark on board her Majesty's iron screw steam transport Himalaya, 700-horse power, with the other troops proceeding to Canada. The departure of the reinforcements of cavalry and infantry for Kurrachee, which was to have taken place yesterday morning, has been again de layed, a telegram having been received at Chatham garrison notifying that the chartered transport Beaumaris Castle, in which the troops are to em bark, will not be ready to receive the draughts on board until Thursday next, when the detachments will embark from Custom-house quay, Gravesend, prior to which the Beaumaris Castle will be in spected by Major-Gen. Sir R. Walpole, K.C.B. Gen. Sir. J. Pennefather's period of command of the Aldershot Division having expired, the inhabi tants of Aldershot have determined to present him with a testimonial ; 100 guineas have been sub scribed, which have been expended in the purchase of a silver Cellini cup from the establishment of Messrs. Garrard and Co., goldsmiths and jewellers to the Crown, Haymarket. The cup bears the fol lowing inscription :—" Testimonial to Lieut.-Gen. Sir J. L. Pennefather, K.C.8., from the inhabitants of Aldershot and neighbourhood, on his retirement from the command of the Aldershot Division, Sept., 1865." The testimonial will probably be presented in the course of a few days, and the General will leave the camp about the middle of the ensuing month, when the command of the Aldershot Divi sion will devolve upon Gen. the Hon. Sir James Y. Scarlett, K.C.B. Yesterday morning a district court martial, of which Major W. H. Kerr was the president, assem bled, by order of Major-General Sir R. Walpole, K.C.8., in the general court martial room at Chatham garrison, for the trial of Alex. M'Cluskey, a private, attached to the 65th company of the division of Royal Marines Light Infantry, on a charge of striking Assistant Surgeon William Con nolly, M.D., while in the discharge of professional duties. The accused had been previously sen tenced by court-martial to a term of imprisonment for a military offence of which he had been con victed, and it was while he was at Melville Hospi tal, undergoing the customary medical inspection prior to his removal to the military prison at Fort Clarence, Rochester, that he broke away from the escort, and rushing at the medical officer assaulted him in a very severe manner. Evidence was ad duced to show that dnring the time the prisoner has been in the corps of Royal Marines, a period of five years, his character and conduct have both been very bad. A short time back the prisoner stabbed a man during a quarrel in a public-house, for which he was sentenced to 12 months' hard labour in Maidstone Gaol, and on another occasion he wounded a comrade on board ship by stabbing him in the forehead. He has also been several times convicted and punished by divisional and other courts-martial. The finding and sentence of the Court for the present offence will not be promul gated to the troops until the proceedings of the Court have been submitted for approval to Major- General Sir Robert Walpole, K.C.8., commanding the district. Her Majesty's screw troop ship Himalaya, Capt. T. B. Lethbridge, sails this morning from Spithead for Halifax and Quebec with the following troops on board :—Royal Artillery—Major Simpson, Mrs. Simpson, three children, and servant; Major, Field ; Capts.

The operation of fixing the S-inch and 6-inch armour-plates which will protect the reconnoitring tower constructed on the upper deck of the ironclad frigate Bellerophon, 16, 1.000 horse-power, was com menced at Chatham dockyard yesterday, and dur ing the day two of the large fore and aft plates were safely fitted to the tower in the positions they will occupy, the work of planing and boring the plates having previously been . effected in the factory de partment of the dockyard. the port and starboard portion of the tower—whi, it may here be re marked, is of elliptical fornt with the shorter dia meter fore and aft—will bt. protected by armour plates 8 inches in thickness, but as this portion of the tower will be of conical forte, the chances of any hostile shot effecting any injury to it, although ob viously more exposed than the other portions of the tower, are reduced to a minimum. All the 8-inch plates have stood the bendingolotting, and planing processes to which they havelfeen subjected without exhibiting any flaw ; indeed, the iron from which they have been worked appears to be of the toughest and best description. The 8-inch plates are the largest yet operated upon at Chatham dockyard, but arrangements are now being completed for bending and working armour-plates of 9 inches in thickness, or double those of the thickness of the Warrior, with which the sides of the iron frigate Hercules, to be built at Chatham, are to be encased. Even this thick ness of plating has been exceeded at the works of Messrs. John Brown and Co., Sheffield, where seve ral thousand tons of armour-plates of no less than 13/ inches in thickness have lately been manufactured for the Russian Government, for encasing the sea face for the ports at Cronstadt. The iron-cased screw steamship Lord Clyde, 24, built at Pembroke, arrived in Plymouth Sound on Sunday morning, accompanied by the paddlewheel steam frigate Gladiator, 6, Capt. Elphinstone D'O. D'A. Aplin. Yesterday morning the Lord Clyde was towed into Hamoaze, where she will be fitted for the first division of the steam reserve. She mea sures 4,067 tons, and has engines of 1,000-horse power. The screw steam frigate Constance, 31, Capt. Edward K. Barnard, which arrived last week in Plymouth Sound from the eastward, is appointed to go into Ilamoazc, where she will be fitted for duty on a foreign station, probably the West Indies. Visit of the French Fleet to Portsmouth. PORTSMOUTH, Aug. 28. The preparations for the reception of the French Fleets are to-day being pushed on with increased vigour. The naval authorities are, of course, asbusily engaged as they can be ; the military authorities are doing everything to render their part in the pro ceedings of the week effective; while the civic autho rities are vieing with both, and not without the hope of coming very creditably out of the contest. They must, however, have been somewhat dispirited when they rose this morning and found that the weather had completely broken the bright promise of yesterday. To the success of the civic portion of the entertainment here, which will partake very much of the nature of a file champe,tre, warmth and sunshine are all but absolutely essential, and the morning held out but little prospect of either. Rain set in at a very early hour, and continued to fall until near noon with a quiet steadiness which looked as if the weather was determined not to ex haust itself by any violent effort. The glass fell, and with it fell the hopes which were yesterday so sanguine. The afternoon, however, remained dry throughout, and, although the sky is somewhat over clouded, the prospects of fine weather to-morrow are not so gloomy as they at one time of the day appeared. Notwithstanding the wetness of the morning, Portsmouth wore early a lively, bustling aspect. Troops marched through the town from different directions, bound for Southsea-common, where, un der the command of Sir G. Buller, K.C.8., they went through a series of manoeuvres, preparatory to the grander display which is to take place on Fri day. The troops were organised in three brigades, the first consisting of the 6th and 12th Brigades of Royal Artillery, the 3d company of Royal Engi gineers, and the 75th Regiment, being under the immediate orders of Col. Paynter, C. 8., and Brevet Major Colclough ; the second brigade, which was composed of the Ist battalion of the 14th Regiment, the 81st Regiment, the 87th Fusiliers, and the 52d Light Infantry, were commanded by Col. Penny and Capt. Butler ; while the third, which was made up of the Ist and 2d battalions of Royal Marine Light Infantry and the Ist and 2d battalions of Royal Marine Artillery, were under the command of Col. Tate, B revet-llajor Cooke acting as Major of Brigade. The entire number of troops which will muster on Southsea-common on Friday will, it is expected, not be more than between 3,000 and 4,000 men, and as the cavalry will not be repre sented at the review, it can scarcely be made a very imposing military display. While the two services and the civic authorities are making their prepara tions on a great scale, the people of Portsmouth are far from being content with the part of mere specta tors. The inhabitants of more than one street and district have clubbed together and subscribed small sums to defray the expenses of erecting triumphal arches. Two very handsome structures of the kind with transparencies attached to them are now fast approaching completion near the railway station on the Landport-road. It may be that not one of the French officers or seamen, in honour of whose visit those arches have been constructed, will catch, a glimpse of them, for they stand rather upon the outskirts of the town ; but then their erection serves instances to show that there ascep one among many tionwhichawaitsthe fleet of our allies is the y designs em b o d y the not merely official, but national in its its spi r it. Th e are more remarkable for the anfispdaeli re t n y c sen timent of the occasion than for any artistic merit in transparencies the execution. One in particular, displayed outside with hgenera which ll a house on the road leading to Southsea, attracts notice by its size and the brightness of its colouring, It represents an English sailor with the union-jack flying from a pole which he holds in his left hand, while with the other hand he warmly clasps the hand of a French sailor bearing the tricolor, who has just landed from the fierce-looking sea behind him. The motto is, " May tkey be united for ever !" There is no caricature of either the French or Eng lish tar. Both are depicted as fine, brave-looking fellows, very happy to make one another's acquaint ance, and prepared to fraternize to an unlimited extent. The guests invited to the banquet on board the Duke of Wellington to-morrow evening will not number more than between 60 or 70. They will dine on the middle deck, which the commander of the vessel—Captain Seccombe—is now doing his utmost to transform into a gorgeous saloon. The guests will consist almost exclusively of French and English officers, and Captain Seccombe will by a curious inversion of the laws of hospitality be in vited to dine on board his own ship. The Duke of Wellington will be illuminated at the conclusion of the banquet. The committee who are engaged in the organiza tion of the dinner, concert, and ball, which make up the somewhat formidable programme of the en tertainment to be given by the Mayor and Corpo ration of Portsmouth on Thursday at Governor's green have already received for the purpose up wards of £2,000 ; nor have they the slightest doubt that the much larger sum which will be necessary to expend in order to make the municipal fetes The following is a list of the French officers who will accompany the fleet which is to-morrow to lie beside our own at Spithead :—The Commander-in- Chief of the squadron, Vice-Admiral Count Bouet Willaumez, whose flag will be hoisted on board the Solferino ; Rear-Admiral Baron de la Ronciere, who will be on board the Magenta ; Rear-Admiral Fabre de la Maurelle, on board the Normandie ; Rear-Admiral Saisset, on board the Couronne ; Rear-Admirals Pothuan and Meguet. The captains are Captain Chevalier, commanding the Invincible ; Captain Robinet de Plas, Solferino, Captain Bourgois, chief of the staff of Count Bouet Wil laumez ; Captain Miguel de Riu, commanding La Gloire ; Captain de Surville, Provence ; Captain Sagat Duvauroux, Heroine ; Captain de Rosen coatte.*Couronne ; Captain Le Bris, Magenta ; Cap tain Bachme, Flandre ; and Captain Pierre, chief of the staff of Baron de la Ronciere. Those are the nine French vessels of the larger class, which, as we stated yesterday, will visit our shores. There are besides four frigates—the Caton, Captain Grivel ; the Reine Hortense, Captain Charlemagne ; the Arid, Captain Perier d'Hauterive ; and the Faon, commanded by Lieutenant Guys. The Staff of the Minister of Marine will consist of Captain Charle magne, and Lieutenant de Warn. Monseigneur Coquereau willaccompany the fleet as chaplain in charge. GENERAL SIR GEORGE BROWN. Eleven years ago there was a British camp, far away on a hill-side in Bulgaria where at nights might be heard a refrain ere the days of sorrow fell upon the army— Come pipe-clay your jackets and buckle your stocks, Away with mustachios and dirt-breeding locks ; Such dombded ennovations I'll surely put down ; It's nae up wi' the shakos, cries General Brown ! But there is not a survivor of the storms of pesti lence and battle which smote that gallant Light Division who will not read with sincere regret of the death of their iron old chief. He drilled them, pipe-clayed them, shaved and stocked them within an inch of their lives. The Queen's regulations were before him, and he dared not disobey that which was written there as in the chronicles of the law. But he fed them well in camp and led them nobly in the field, and never succeeded in drilling and stocking his heart into complete rigidity and impas siveness to their wants and wishes. No one had a keener appreciation of the folly of choking men with a leather garotte machine at 80 deg. in the shade, and perhaps no one felt more keenly the pains and penalties of the early and close-shaving movement than himself. It may be doubted if Sir G. Brown quite approved the shako, but no suspicion can be Thrown on his belief in pipeclay. But what could he do ? Was he, a subordinate General, to take upon himself to set aside the orders of the British army ? Would it be any justification to his official con science for disobedience to the orders to receive the praise of writers in newspapers or commendations from independent members of Parliament ? There was law, practice, order, custom, for divisional drills in the field, and Sir George knew well that with some of the regiments in his division it was not superctogatory to drill them in order to get a division ready for its duties. And so he drilled them in the heat of the early Bulgarian morn ings. There was a strict regulation that every soldier should wear a stiff stock of black patent leather, with a brass buckle behind it. And so he made them wear it, and wore one himself ; not only that, but liked it. There was also a strict regula tion that every officer and man in her Majesty's infantry should keep his face shaved, and that his whiskers should be cut in a line extending from the tip of his ear to the angle of his mouth. And so it was that if a British travelling gent or a Turkish Bashi-Bazouk happened to be passing by the camp at Devna some time after daybreak any morning of June, 1854, he would see the stiff, well-knit figure of an old man, broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted, tightly strapped, dressed in a well-fitting un dress blue frock coat, with velvet collar and cuffs, regulation swordsash, belt, spurs, and horse trappings of a British general officer, well mounted and well seated on a regulation height charger, with his handsome face well set in its stock, and his chin and check glistening from the recent razor, careering iu front of his Staff, in the midst of solid, well stocked battalions,who were un dergoing the pains and penalties attached to the honour of being the Light Division. " Let them alter the regulations if they please, and then I will follow the regulations," was his remark to all insi nuated remonstrances. It was principally the doctors who spoke, and the General had imbibed a good deal of the old Peninsular sentiment respecting medical officers, and regarded them as the most troublesome of the impedimenta of an army. At that time the new theory of camp-pitching was coming into vogue, and Sir George heard with horror the first mutter ings of the heresy that the doctors were to regulate the choice of military positions by sanitary con siderations. He disliked baggage trains, and he therefore regarded with disgust the newfangled carriages which were to serve as ambulances. He set up his back against the doctors, and if there had been any one less firm than Alexander to deal with he would probably have had all timings his own way, for he had sympathetic support at head-quarters, and, indeed, our long delay in mov ing the wounded on board the ships after Alma was mainly due to the fact that all ambulances were left on shore at Varna. But when cholera broke out who more prompt in action, more energetic in com mand, more constant in care and attention to his men than Sir George Brown ? In one thing he was quite right—in insisting on the military cleanliness, of which to him the outer and visible sign was pipe clay. But the great fault, overborne, as it was, by many very great virtues, of Sir George Brown was that he could not understand the changes whichhad taken place in society, in the world, and in the army recruited in these isles since he put up his sword on the peace of 1815 and sat down-at th in e desk, his lengthened toils," says Mr. g ,:, "where drew him too far in a narrow pat h, " so that " he over pliedeas the old, but wastlhBesb4isltioerian 66 y just is es re idea if o f w d i e Pl are ci t discipline." believe." In quoted he was accustom ed in any difficulty to ask himself how " the Duke" w ould have acted under s similar circumstances, and so had gathered no wis dom from his own experience. When there was no answer to that question he must have been quite in the dark. " Sir George Brown was an officer whose career had begun, and begun with glory, in the great days under Wel lington, but while he was still in his early manhood wars had ceased, and thenceforth for nearly 40 years he had brought his strong energies to bear upon the kind of military busi ness which used to be practised by the English in peace time. A long immersion in the Adjutant-General's de partment had led him to go even beyond other men in laying stress upon the value of discipline ; but the practice of this sort of industry had not at all helped to school him for the command of a division in war time ; for in labouring after that mechanic perfection, which, after all, is only one of many means towards an end, the end itself had been much forgotten by those who controlled our military system, and the business of war (as, for instance, the art of carrying a brigade in line through enclosures and thick grounds) had been little or never prac tised in England.* To a military system which omits to * Sir Charles Napier, the conqueror of Scinde , u sed to press the importance of practising troops in this way, but without success. Sir George was one of the useful family of un enobled Browns, which in all degrees and parts of the world have, according to Mr. Hughes, done so much for the honour and glory of their country. The family of Browns, of which he is a direct mem ber, haslong been settled in Linkwood, Elgin, where he was born in 1790, and where he died on Sunday, the 27th of August. He was intended for the ser vice, and was educated at the Royal Military Col lege at Great Marlow and at High Wycombe, whence he was launched on his career at 18 years of age, into the very midst of the war fever, which, hot or cold, had been on Europe since.l793. The young Seotchrnan [says the writer in the Times, evi dently himself an Irishman . I ], who never lost the twang which distinguishes the speech of Englishmen born north of the Tweed, was eager in his vocation, and loved fighting with a keenness not to be damped by blood or blunted by wounds, and in those days of fighting he soon came to the front. A reference to " Hart" will not give much infor mation concerning his career. In " War Services of General Officers " his name does not occur. In the services of officers of the Prince Consort's Own Rifle Brigade, of which he was appointed Colonel in-Chief the 18th of March, 1863, there is no men tion of him, but the following foot-note appears to his name as Colonel of her Majesty's 32d in that high authority : " Sir George Brown served at the siege and capture of Copenhagen in 1807, in the Peninsula from August, 1808, to July, 1811; and again from July, 1813, to May, 1814, including the battle of Vimiera, passage of the Douro and capture of Oporto, with the previous and subsequent ac tions; battle of Talavera (severely wounded through both thighs), action of the Light Division at the bridge of Al meida, battle of Busaco, the different actions during the retreat of the French army from Portugal, action at Sabu gal, battle of Fuentes d'Onor, siege of San Sebastian, battles of the Nivelle and Nive, and the investment of Bayonne. Served afterwards in the American war, and was present at tho battle of Bladensburg and capture of Washington. Slightly wounded in the head and very severely in the groin at Bladensburg. He has received the War Medal with seven claps. Commanded the Light Division throughout the Eastern campaign of 1854-55, in cluding the battles of the Alma (horse shot under him), Balaclava, and Inkerman (severely wounded—shot through the arm), and siege of Sebastopol (medal and four clasps, G.C.8., Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour, Ist Class of the Medjidie, Sardinian and Turkish medals)." This brief record might be amplified by those who knew how active and how brave he was in the earlier part of his career, and how soon he attracted the notice of his seniors, and, above all, of the Duke himself, at an epoch when daring actions and per sonal qualifications could receive no preliminary flourish from a high certificate or from figures of merit in a competitive examination. Indeed, though he had no reason to be dissatisfied, his reward might make some grumblers now-a-days ashamed of themselves. 11e was gazetted to an ensigncy the 23d of January, 1806, and became lieutenant in September of the same year, while serving in the expedition to Sicily, from which he proceeded to the hotbed of war in the Peninsula, then under the Duke's own gardening, after a run to the North with the corps which reduced Copenhagen. But fruitful in blows, and well-developed actions, and plenty of glory plants, the Peninsula was not a particularly favoured forcing-house for promotion, and so it was that five years elapsed before he ob tained his company. In that time he had fought at Vimiera, Almeida, Busaco, and in the last action was engaged, it is said, in a personal combat with an officer of the staff of Marshal Massena, whom he worsted. Then he rushed into the breach at Bada joz, was shot through the legs at Talavera, and managed nevertheless to see the backs of the Fre . nch as they retreated from Spain, after a desperate and protracted resistance, in which Fuentes d'Onor, Salamanca, Nive, Nivelle, and Orthes had place and mark. It was his ill or his good fortune to be sent on the American expedition, and to accompany Sir Hugh Ross's force up the Chesapeake. Ho was present at the " Races of Bladensburg," and, no doubt, saw the burning of the national buildings and stores at Washington without any very lively demonstration of satisfaction, for be never approved severity ; but, as he was severely wounded in the encounter with the Americans, who so feebly de fended their capital, he could have taken no active part in a measure which has provoked so much cri ticism. With Bladensburg his career in the field terminated till he was called to command his divi sion in 1854, but he long remained a regimental officer, as it was not till 1812 he became Deputy- Adjutant-General. He had by this time become a Major-General under the Prince of Wales's Brevet of Nov. 23, 1841, and his previous commissions were—Major, May 26, 1814 ; Lieutenant-Colonel , Sept. 29, 1814 ; Colonel, May 6, 1831. When Sir John Macdonald died in 1850, the Duke of Wel lington appointed General Brown Adjutant-General of the Forces, and on Nov. 11, 1851, he was made Lieutenant-General. He resigned his office not long after Lord Hardinge became General Commanding in-Chief, and his resignation was commented on at the time in Parliament. During his tenure of office at the Horse Guards he was a faithful and laborious public servant, and at least on one occasion offered resistance to measures which he thought contrary to the interests of the service, and did not hesitate to tender his resignation rather than consent to them. A harsh, rude manner was assumed by him in his dealing with officers to cover real kindness, and men who received favours from him were often less grateful than those who were charmed by Lord Raglan's gracious mode of refusal. It may be doubted if Sir George Brown was a military re former—if, for example, he did not think Brown Bess better than the rifle ; but what was once ordered was at once accepted by him. Although some very old soldiers were passed over because they were too old, Sir George Brown was called on to command the Light Division in 1854, perhaps in memory of his ancient services in the famous old Light Division of 1812. He formed the Rifle Brigade, 7th Fusileers, 19th, 23d Welsh Fusileers, 33d, 77th, and 88th into a corps to emulate the fame of their predecessors. He led the advance of the British army from Malta to Gallipoli, from Gal lipoli to Varna, and from Varna to the Crimea. On the very day of landing at Old Fort he was in some danger of capture from a patrol of Cossacks. The manner in which he led his men at the Alma has been well described - in Mr. Kinglake's most vivid manner. His grey charger was conspicuous in the ruck of fighting men, and when his white plume disappeared from the summit of the ridge, where his figure could be seen above the line of bayonets and through the smoke of the battle, those of the Light Division who were nigh forgot all but the impetuous valour of the fiery old leader, and were delighted to see him at their head once more when ho had got George away from his dying horse. In the despatch of the battle T h The ew modeas ithus whichsp ok Lieutenant -General Lord l ßaglan: Sir Brown conducted his division, under the most trying cir cumstances, demands ray warmest approbation. The fire to which his division was subjected, and the difficulties be had to contend against, afford no small proof that his best energies were applied to the successful discharge of his duties." During the winter he suffered a little from illness, but was ever vigilant and energetic, and it was his Idivision which was first turned out to Meet the 4 deadly tide that threatened to sweep the BrAiiih *Army,. from the plateau of Inkerman ' *on that • ...“....rhufe sth of November, 1854. Earlyin the fight he was shot severely, and was removed from the field with difficulty, but the skill of his old friend Alexander set him up sufficiently for a voyage homewards to recruit his strength, and he returned with all possible speed to his command before Sebastopol. In compliance with his desire for active occupation, Lord Raglan placed the British portion of the expedition to Kertch and Yenikale under the command of Sir George Brown, who always felt keenly the imputa tions to which he was exposed in consequence of the destruction of the Museum of antiquities and the burning of buildings. The excesses which certainly disgraced the Allies on this occasion he attributed to the portion of the forces not under his orders, and he regretted subsequently that he had taken steps to prevent any publicity being given to the facts. For the patient duties of a long siege Sir George had no taste, and he had still less temper for the endurance of a trial which is the bitterest a soldier can bear—the promotion of a junior officer to a coveted command over his head. His failing health, his wounds, his long services, were grounds sufficient for the gallant old man's retirement from the scene wherein he had added much to ancient laurels and effaced many unfavourable impressions. Like many good-hearted men, he disliked his own good-nature, and covered it in with a cloak of asperity. He would use harsh language to any one who suspected him of being benevolent. No wonder if he was the victim of his own injustice to himself, and created unfavourable impressions which acloser acquaintance would have removed. On his retire ment from the Crimea he received the First Class of the Medjidie. He was made G.C.B. in 1855, and Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour. He was invested with the Ortl%. of : ,-' 4 Avoy by the King .9 1 Sardinia in the same year. The only Order to which he belonged before the Crimear War was that of Knights of Hanover, of which he was created in 1831, but he wore the Peninsular War medal with seven clasps. He was created General on the 7th of September, 1855, and was 13th on the list at the time of his death. In March, 1860, he was ap stthetilFlotrhcees,,ifinvlre e y l ea an rs d : p an o d int h ed e c ton o t t h i n e u C e d o m i n m tahnadt of o f rule" caused his retirement in the spring of the pre sent year. For some months he had been failing in _ health, and at last he passed away in his native place, leaving behind him a memory endeared by many acts of kindness, a name of unsullied honour, and a reputation of spotless integrity. He married in 1831 the daughter of Hugh Macdonell, Consul- General at Algiers, who, we believe, survives him, but there is no heir male to his honours.—Times. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

At this date last year the rate of interest was 8 per cent., while now it is only 4 per cent. Yet at that period the reserve of notes in the till was actually greater than at this mo ment. Some persons look to the reserve as the great key to the state of the market, and these may fancy that some unsoundness of management must consequently lie under the present figures. Others, with better reason, look to the state of the bullion, and to these the fact that the total now held is £1,389,378 in excess of the amount last year, or nearly n per cent., will serve as a sufficient explanation of the difference between the rate of discount at the respective periods. The fact is that there are occa sionally times when the reserve is the question that requires attention, but that most frequently the true indication of the probabilities of the market is to be found in the bullion. When panic prevails from over-speculation, accompanied by a tendency to an outflow, and there is a fear that bankers t and others may rush to the Bank of England to dra f w or o al u l t nn h ti Fide of the their balances and hoard them, so as to be m co e n n t t in i g a e t n o ci gu es, ar th d e a i g n a d i i n sp st en au sa o la h le a cdoueprsleetifooorpbtrhyepaitpcoeetsdttianbglisfhta ethnet may b c h e a o r h g e e o f k o a r d d . i sr t uonr ordinary i t o o a a r y pe pointri periods, , which h otohfo contrary, point for watchfulness is the con d d o it o i that . the stock of bul ativei°wnetshaaotf the lion iscountry o t the iittehhfiaaforeignmoment g e nations, o u t id i e s . f i ro 'h m a e n e t comparative pa circumstancer amount of currency in the hands of the public at home is unusually largo. In this weeks return it is a million and a quarter in excess of the same date last year. This is not consequent upon panic or apprehension of any kind. Pro bably it is still partly the result of the recent election ex penditure. The extra amount is certain to flow back in duo course, and the least increase of pressure in the discount market would most likely bring it in rapidly. Conse quently, there is no reason that the peculiarity should now form any material element in the calculations as to the point at which the rate of discount may be securely placed. —Travers's Circular. [ADVERTISEMENT.] -Holloway's Pills.—Bilious affec tions and stomach complaints induced by atmospheric heat or too liberal diet, if not early checked, are often attended with serious consequences.
