Their long-cherished notion of peace in America is now completely dispelled for a time, and with it the prospect of cheaper goods. We look upon the position of our piece goods trade as completely re-adjusted. Stocks, here are equal to moderate consumption only, and production in England will not on its present scale fully supple ment requirements. Holders meet the dealers freely, and clearances are now heavy. The twist market shows some signs of improvement after its long con tinued dulness. In metals we - have generally lower prices to quote, and - very little doing. Salt has again declined in price. The export market continues much the same as when we la,st wrote. There would be a fuller business in progress but for the caution engendered by the position of affairs at home, and the higher tendency in currency immediately result ing from enlarged demand here. The indigo sales progress briskly, and late advanced figures have again been slightly advanced on. Now ready, in 2 vols., Bvo., with Portrait, THE HON. GRANTLEY BERKELEY'S LIFE AND RECOLLECTIONS.

Taylor, M.P., received at Leicester a deputation from those of his constituents who are in favour of the Permissive Bill in order to discuss this The following items of news are taken from the summary contained in the overland edition of the Englishman: — We are in receipt of no additional news from England since the departure of the out-going mail, via Bombay, on the 21st inst. The steamer, with the mails and passengers from London to the 26th of November, is now overdue at Galle inwards, and we are in hourly expectation of receiving telegraphic intelligence of her arrival there. Our latest dates from London are, therefore, still to the 27th of November. VALETTA, Jan. 21.—The arrivals of men-of-war this week consist of the screw iron storeship Supply, 2, Master-Commander Bawden, on Thursday, from England, with Government stores; the screw frigate Liffey, 35, Capt. G. Parker, on Friday, from Athens; and the despatch ves.sel Psyche, 2, Lieut.-Commander It. Sterne, to-day, from Naples.

After hearing the statements of the deputation, Mr. TAYLOR said he had no desire to be reticent in any degree• The position he had the honour to hold as their represen tative he valued only as the expression of their willingness to support him after the most frank expression of his views on any subject whatever. He desired to express his respect for the principles and motives of those who took up the agitation in the country. He could not conceive, and did not, believe that they bad or could have any Object but a high-minded and philanthropic-one. If he opposed it he did so because of his diversity of opinion and on no other ground ; and as he claimed for himself the right to act on his own opinion, he trusted he was perfectly willing to tolerate all those who acted in the same way. The whole queiticin between them [was whether a man should be permitted to take fermented or distilled liquors, or not.

The Bombay mail having left this only two days ago, there is little alteration to report. The Bank of Bengal made no change in their rates, yesterday, although the Bazaar rates are rather higher. But the bank's reserve is still large, although there are symptoms of an increasing demand. Exchange remains the same and all shares are dull. Govern ment securities also remain in small demand. A letter from Titalya informs us that the fort of Dewangiri, about which so much was said, was taken by Captain Macdonald and a few Bengal policemen the day before General Mulcaster and his column arrived there. The news from Nepaul portends a civil war, unless Maharajah Jung Bahadoor has ' taken his measures with great foresight. There appears to have_ been - some Intrigue afoot for plac4iig the heir apparent on the throne, and it is with this object that the Rajah has been inveigled into visiting the Teraee.

No State had the power to arrogate to itself the right of saying what a man should do in that respect. He (Mr. Taylor) conceived that was distinctly an individual matter—every individual had a perfect right to eat what he liked, to drink what he liked, and to clothe himself wherewithal he pleased. That was.the broad principle upon which lie opposed the bill. He did not think it necessary to enter into the question of whether all liquors were conceived to be poison. He held a different opinion to a great number of teetotallers on.that question. He confessed that if he could be convinced that all fermented liquors stood in the same 'category physically ansl che4kagly as strychnine and ar senic, he would join in forbidder itrTreEe Ynutltrer -la which the traffic was carried on damaged the country at noon on Wednesday.

THE ACCIDENT IN THE BLACKHEATH TUN NEL.—The adjourned inquest on the bodies of the five unfortunate men who were killed in the Black heath Tunnel by the collision which occurred on the 16th ult., was resumed yesterday, at the Blackheath Tavern, Blackheath, before Mr. Carttar, the coroner for West Kent Nc new evidence was adduced, and the Coroner after a few minutes' consultation with the jury announced that the inquiry was adjourned until Tuesday next at 3 o'clock, when in all probability he thought it would be concluded. We are glad to report that the breaksman of the ballaft train who was so mu ch injured, and whose evid ence h as not been yet received, is sufficiently recovered to be able to leave the hospital and return to his own home. SOCIETY FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF THE FINE ARTS.—Last evening Mr. J. A. Heraud delivered a lecture before the members of this society, at their rooms, 9, Conduit-street, "On the Impulsive Period of Shak.. spere's Productivity." The lecturer treated of the plays produced by the poet during the first seven years of his residence in London, and gave some particulars of his early life, on documentary evidence, which presented a very different-character of the poet from that assigned to . him by tradition. large, let it be changed; but how it should be carried on was a matter of policy and not a question of principle. A friend of his, one of the truest thinkers and most honest politicians of the day—Professor Newman—had made some remarks to this effect ; that he did not expect if such a bill (the Permissive Bill) were carried that it would stop all drinking; there would be habitual drinkers, no doubt, who must be allowed to get drink, but not in the existing mode ; and that mode being done away with a less injurious one would be discovered. That mode of legislation did not ac cord with his (Mr. Taylor's) views. He conceived the pro per way would be to get a better mode first, before the pre sent one was done away with. He admitted that the amount of drinking was injurious to an unhappy extent ; he ad mitted that the traffic was a dangerous one, and beyond all others required watching and care in its modification ; but he would not pledge himself to say whether the present was the best mode—or, if they liked, the least injurious—in which the traffic could be conducted; buthe would pledge himself that if any other scheme were proposed he would consider, to the best of his ability, whether it was a less inju rious mode than the present one. He was entirely opposed to the present system of licensing--(hear)—it was utterly inde fensible on any principle whatever, and if for no other rea son it was so from the utter impossibility of the magistrates to decide what was necessary to the public requirements. He had not the least objection on principle to any limita- tion of the number of people who sold liquors ; but he took his stand upon what he considered to be the right of every Englishman to judge for himself, whether in the majority or in the minority, what he should drink ; and if the State wero to step in and prevent all ordinary commerce in the matters . which he desired to be brought to him, the State did an act of tyranny—nor did it tend to the benefit of the country. There were certain times in the life cf a nation when all ideas of constitutional right appeared to sinkbefore the presence of a crushing and gigantic evil. If, for in stance, as they said, England was now suffering from an increasing amount of drunkenness,which was getting worse and worse,the question presented itself whether they should damage themselves by legislative tyranny, or be ruined by drunkenness. It was a serious question to be considered, and he appealed to them as moderate men whether the reverse of that was not the case—whether withthe gradual increase of education and with the spread amongst the people of the facilities for higher and better means of ex citement and stimulus than those lowest ones of the senses, the evil of drunkenness was not decreasing. The present state of the people in this particular, he contended, con trasted markedly and satisfactorily with their condition and habits a century ago, when it was considered the proper thing after dinner to lock the door and see half the guests, if not all, under the table. He also alluded to the vast improvement in this direction during the last thirty or forty years, in a small town in Essex, where he car ried on a business. Therefore, he argued, it was not a fact that the intelligence of the people was not answering to the improved end hig-her e i rlpgrtuiliff"WS - Vei : eaien to them; and consequently he submitted there was no case made out for violating all the ordinary rules of constitu tionalism. It did seem to him that the proper mode for raising and improving the people and eradicating the desire for the lowest modes of stimulus and excitement was to produce, and reproduce, and increase, and bring within, as far as possible, the grasp of the working classes, intellec tual amusement and recreation, and all other kinds of in nocent stimulus. A conversation ensued, in the course of which the Rev. Mr. TOWNSEND said he should like to know whether Mr. Taylor was prepared to vote for the second reading of Mr. Lawson's bill next session ? Mr. TAYLOR replied that his friend was looking for a miraculous case of conversion,which really had not occurred. Mr. Taylor also said that he was not prepared to submit or suggest any measure; but if in a neighbourhood where there were 20 public houses one would practically provide that any who persisted to drink should not be without when he wished it, that would come within his principle. Mr. MART—If you admit the right of the people to limit, have they not an equal right to prohibit ? Mr. TAYLOR—Upon that point we come most satisfacto rily to an issue. I think they have a right to do one, and clearly no right to do the other. A resolution was then proposed by Mr. HOWELL, seconded by Mr. Coox, and carried by acclamation :—" That the best thanks of the deputation should be given to Mr. Taylor for the courteous and gentlemanly manner in which he had received them." It was strongly stated by several of the deputation that the teetotallers would support the election of Mr. Taylor, and not divide the liberal party. DOUBLE SCREWS.—The double or twin screw principle reached its present maximum stage of de velopment in England on Wednesday in the trial trip of the iron double screw steamship Louisa Ann Fanny down the Thames between Gravesend and the Maplin Sands. The vessel has a builders' measurement of 972 tons. length between perpendiculars is 250 ft. with a beam of 28: and a moulded depth of 15ft. bin. Her machinery consists of two pairs of horizontal direct acting engines,with cylin ders of 40in. diameter and 221 in. stroke, driving two three bladed screws of 9ft. 2in. diameter and a pitch of 17ft. 3in., the distance from centre to centre of the screws being 10ft. 10in. Steam is supplied by two boilers, firing from for ward and aft, the furnaces having 245 ft. of bar surface. The engine room is fitted with the most modern improve ments in its means of communication with the captain or officer in charge on deck, and th e engines are amply pro tected by the arrangements of the coal bunkers from shot if the ship in her future career should ever come within range of hostile guns. The Louisa Ann Fanny has been built for purely commercial purposes, but as she may not improbably some day cross Wilmington bar, this protec tion afforded to her machinery is a necessary precaution. The vessel started on her trial trip at about 15 minutes past noon yesterday, from off Gravesend, drawing 9ft. 9in. of water aft, and Bft. 9in. forward, being at the draught of water she would float at with a full cargo of cotton and her complement of fuel if leaving Charleston or Wilmington. The wind was north-easterly at about the strength of 3 at starting, but freshened very considerably as the mouth of the Thames opened and the ship approached the dreary waste of waters below the Nore lightship. The run from Gravesend to the Nore and thence to the Mouse light ves sels was accomplished in the most satisfactory manner, the engines working perfectly and without a hitch of any kind occurring, and the ship going evidently at the rate of speed that had never been equalled before, even by any sister twin screw. The ship maintained her great rate of speed down to the extent of her course, and the distance between the Nore and the Mouse lightships was accomplished in 24min. 38sec., equivalent to a rate of speed for the ship of 171 knots. The tide was going in favour of the ship at about two knots, and, allowing for this rate of tide, the true speed of the ship wo uld therefore be, as nearl y as could be definitely arrived having ix knots. The speed of the ship on a straight been ascertained, she was next tried in making circles, with the following results :—From a state of rest with the engines they were set to work in opposite directions, with the helm hard over to starboard, and two consecutive circles made, the ship turning liter rally on her centre, in 4min. 11sec. and smin. 16see. With the rudder fixed amidships, and the engines reversed in their motions as before, the circle was made in min. 40sec., the diamete r of the circle made being, asp reviously, v ery nearly, if not quite, within the ship's length. The average revolutions of the engines since leaving Tilbury had been 113, the pressure of steam 321 b., and the vacuum 26in. In running past the measured mile on the Maplin Sands the time was 3min. 30sec., the tide being, according to the pilot's account (Mr. T. Leigh) about two knots in favour of the ship, but a stiff breeze, about 5 in strength, blowing against her. The indicated horse-power of the ship's engines , as given by the cards, was 1,650. The Louisa Ann Fanny returned to Gravesend, after completing her trial run between the Nore and Mouse light ships,one of the most successful by the 6 in time trips of any experimen tal ves s e l under steam . p.m.i za toall : o af w te t r he m p a t i r.t u y on board to reach London g paring. We understand that the question of waste lands in British Burmah is attracting the attention of the Government of India. Recently, upon an applica tion from a Mr. Macdonald for a grant of land in the Martaban district, in which that gentleman had discovered a kind of lead, the Viceroy decided upon permitting him to have the land on condition that he paid a moderate rent after a certain term of years, as well as a royalty on the out-turn of the mines from the commencement of the working. In the case of waste lands in Arracan, his Excellency has also determined to leave to capitalists the option either of buying waste lands set up for sale at the published rate and under the recent rules, or of pay ing a small annual revenue after a fixed number of years on the principle of the old rules. Two batteries Armstrong 9-pounder guns have just arrived here from England, and it turns out that, although they have never left the Presi dency, the carriages are utterly useless and unser viceable, and have been condemned. The Govern ment has ordered a strong Artillery Committee, including Colonels Voyle and Maxwell of the . Gun powder Agency and the Cossipore Foundry, to assemble and report minutely on those gun car riages ; and has ordered thatnew carriages be made at once for the Armstrong guns at Futteghur. English made gun carriages are, we believe, next to useless for the rough uses of war- in this country and climate, as was seen in the mutiny campaigns, when the carriages of the batteries which came out direct from England soon became shaky and unser- viceable. At Allahabad on the Bth the station was'enor mously crowded with troops passing through—the Bays on the march to Mutta ; her Majesty's 55th Regiment going from the Presidency to Lucknow ; four companies, her Majesty's 80th, proceeding to Darjeeling; the headquarters and wing of the 36th Native Infantry coming down to Barrackpore ; Sladen's Battery of Royal Horse Artillery on its way down to Synthia, the Presidency, and Eng land ; and last, and most serious, a vast standing camp full of time-expired men, coming down to the Presidency to quit the country and t 1 service.- A correspondent gives an example of the actual working of the Medical Warrant, showing the case of an assistant-surgeon in charge of a battery of artillery who received only Its. 317-8 instead of, as under the old scale, Its. 599-10 monthly. The dif ference is so monstrous that there can be no doubt of the error being corrected, but it ought to be done without delay. A reward of a thousand rupees has been offered for information which may lead to the detection of the persons implicated in the murder in a carriage on the East India Railway a few days ago. It ap pears that the murdered man was a native of the Upper Provinces, and Gomashta to an Up-country Muhajun residing in Burdwan. He left Howrah by the morning up-train of the 18th inst., in an inter mediate carriago,bound, it is supposed, for Benares. He had with him a bag containing 1,100 rupees and a few pieces of new clothes. It is evident that the bag of money was the motive for the murder. From Affghanistan the accounts received grow more and more unfavourable. The Madras Athe nteum says :—" The sirdars hostile to the ameer are making head against him, and the Russian troops, which have nearly reached Bokhara, with the con sent of the king, are likely to bear their part in the struggle on which the son of Ufzul Khan is about to enter, with the king's assistance, in revenge of the ameer's treachery towards his father. The ameer seems to have acted imprudently in with drawing his army from Toorkistan, where its pre sence and his own is so much needed, and leaving domestic disaffection as well as foreign enmity in his rear. He is now going to engage in a new campaign against his revolted lieutenant at Candahar, and his numerous foes will doubt less use the opportunity afforded to them by his absence in that direction. It is hard to say what the issue of the approaching intestine strife may be, but the prospects of Shere Singh are far from promising ; and although the British Government have no reason to feel anxious on his personal behalf, they cannot look on as uninterested spectators when Affghanistan and Central Asia are convulsed, espe cially as Russia and Persia are for their own purpose likely to mix themselves up in the ameer's quarrels. There is no present demand for British intetvention, and none, we trust, will arise, but nobody can tell what contingenciesmay happen to call our troops into the field for the protection of the British frontier." In its issue of Dec. 22 the Hurkaru,writing of the markets, says :—" The week indicates a gradual ten dency to enlarged employment for money. Our piece goods market takes off its quota ; the demand for the provinces is steadily enlarging. Cotton andrice pros pects are good. We have at hand the means of en larged trade. Resources are large; a healthy enhance ment in the rates of accommodation is probable, is inevitable on renewed commercial vitality. At pre sent there has been no change made in the rates of interest and discount by the Bank of Bengal. The course adopted by the direction has been well con sidered, has been wisely chosen. Another 1 per cent. might have been added. A timely check may be at times essential. Too early a chock on a young re action in a market may stifle energy. There has been no return to extreme speculation, or any other feature to render higher rates necessary at present. For a time our European supplies of capital have been curtailed, but the cheapening rate at home will soon redress this. The reduced state of the Government cash balances is at this time a source of some attention. We know that Indian financial authorities have pronounced twelve millions as a perfectly safe working balance in ordinary times. The home treasury has evidently steadily worked up to this idea in continued home drawings. It may be well to look a little ahead, for we are within the limits of " safe working," as laid down by an autho rity which both the Hon. Mr. Wilson and Mr. Laing were not disposed to regard as by any means infal lible. His Excellency the Viceroy has openly alluded to the subject on a recent deputation to him, and it is evident from what passed on the occa sion that the position of the Government cash ba lances has reached the limit of safe reduction. Cot ton piece goods have continued to improve ill position . during the week. Dealers have at length cora- Often as it has been our painful duty to recordthe blanks made by death in our small community, never perhaps .hasthe office been so sad as in the case of this young but already very distinguished officer. Though not strictly one of us, and personallyknown therefore to only a few, to those few he had, duriN„f. `the fly,. or six-thbrt - ittonthearlii - ittitterieu - Matib= cial duty, not merely commended but endeared him self to an extent the full statement of which would read like the common-place exaggeration of obituary panegyric. Apart, however, from this rare love compelling personal worth, his professional emi nence—early as it has been cut short--was already such as to entitle him to far more honouring tri bute than we can offer to his memory, and to render his death regretfully noteworthy in any, even the highest, social, or scientific circle of his countrymen. Colonel Stewart entered the Military College. at Addiscombe in 1848, and at the completion of his term in 1850, when passing out to join the Indian Engineers, received a sword of honour and the prize for high proficiency in mathematical and military studies. From Chatham he proceeded to India, and entered the Bengal (now Royal) Engineers, and during the subsequent mutiny greatly distinguished himself in the discharge of important staff duties. He was placed at the head of the army telegraph, and the wonderful regularity with:which Lord Clyde's force was kept in communication with Calcutta dur ing that critical time was mainly due to Captain Stewart's great personal exertions. For these emi nent services he was promoted to a majority, and was afterwards appointed officiating superintendent of Indian telegraphs, and subsequently, when the project of a Government Indo-European Telegraph was matured, he was named director-general of that service. In this capacity he shared last year with Sir C. Bright the honour of laying the submarine cable from Kurrachee to Bussora--for which he received the Companionship of the Bath —and subsequently made an inspection of the Per sian land-line from Bushire to Teheran, and thence round to the Turco-Persian frontier and Bagdad. In June last he reached Constantinople to negotiate the necessary arrangements with the Porte for the working of the through service, and a few weeks,ago concluded the convention thereanent. This may be called his last work ; for within, we believe, a week of its signature there fell upon him the shadow of his death-illness in a slight fever caught at Therapia, where he and Mrs. Stewart incautiously lingered for some weeks after the diplomatic colony had gathered back to Pera for the winter. Partly shaking off this, he came down to Misserie's some six weeks ago, and had there so far recovered as to have fixed his departure for London by the next weelea.Etenell mail. It was, weys. , r, _to b.Q. othp_r.. ; - wise. The fevior l.gain can vial eff, And in spite of youth, an admirable constitution, and the best medical care, the attack terminated fatally on Dion• day morning. Yesterday he was buried worthily, though without the pomp of " military honours," in the British cemetery at Scutari. Though the day was inclement nearly all the chief members of our local colony attended the funeral, which left the hotel shortly after one p.m., the Rev. C. B. Gribble and Dr. Mil lingen preceding the coffin, and the Hon. W. Stuart, her Majesty's Charge d'Affaires, Mr. Consul-Gene ral Logie, Colonel Goldsmid—the colleague of Colonel Stewart—and Mr. Courtney, the local dele gate of the Indian Government for this service, fol lowing as chief mourners ; whilst the pall was held by Agathon Effendi (dirrctor-general of the Turkish telegraph), Messrs. E. Lafontaine, H. Hanson, M'Coan, Smythe, and Staniforth. The company crossed to Scutari by special steamer, and were met at the barrack pier by Major Gordon, R.E., and Mr. Lyne, the keeper of the cemetery. On landing the cortege re-formed and proceeded in the same order as before to the ground ; and there we buried him, under the shadow of Marochetti's monument, and in the kindred company of our honoured Crimean dead, of whom none braver or nobler sleeps well on that hero-peopled headland than Patrick Stewart. Death of John Fergus, Esq., late M.P. for Fifeshire. (From the Scotsman.) We record, as many personal and political friends will learn, with much pain the death of this well known and greatly esteemed gentleman. Mr. Fergus died on Tuesday, at his villa near Plymouth, after a short illness, of a bronchial nature, superinduced on long-continued bad health. He was born near the end of last century, and must have been about 68 years of age at his death. His father was Walter Fergus, Esq., long Provost of Kirkcaldy, and an extensive manufacturer and merchant in that town. In his earlier years Mr. John Fergus was a mer chant at St. Petersburg ; but subsequently returned home, and engaged on a very large scale in the linen manufacture, chiefly as a spinner. His chief works were and are at Prinlaws, near Leslie, and are among the largest in the kingdom in . point of production, and without rival in point of taste and completeness of arrangement. As an em ployer, he was not only zealous and kind, but lavish, or even extravagant, in seeing to the comfort and improvement of all connected with him, especially in the matters of education and dwelling-houses In 1835 Mr. Fergus, who was always a stanch and valuable member of the Liberal party, entered Par liament for the Kirkcaldy burghs without opposi tion, and on the wish of the constituency rather than his own , but declined re-election in 1837. At the general election in 1847 he was selected as the Liberal candidate for the county of Fife, and after a keen and somewhat costly contest, prevailed over the Conservative candidate, Mr. Balfour, of Balbirnie, by a handsome majority. In 1852 he was re-elected without a poll, and in 1857 without opposition. In Scotland it isuntvyeryto unusual, if not quite unprecedented, for a . y c tl ° l trade, return a representative connected therefpre, be Fergus's election for Fifeshiretomhuiss , and unconnected with land or theplura Lute cha regarded as a marked tri t b .h u t t t e that tribute was not tie,led class.

After At the general election of 1859, among he declined, chiefly on the ground of failing fter his retirement from health, to return to Parliament, and was succeeded by Mr. I V Y en , ss of Wemyss, who, alas ! has preceded hi m to Par liament Mr. Fergus resided chiefly in Italy, and for the last two years in the south of England. His chief ailment was a species of heart disease, aggra vated by occasional bronchitis, and for the last seven or eight years he has been in varying if not precari- improved. The iron screw ship Resistance, 16, Capt. W. C. Chamberlain, went into dock on Thursday to have her bottom cleaned and examined, and it is expected she will be out of the hands of the dockyard in a day or two. In rounding Isola Point, while in tow of the naval tug Hearty, she grounded, but she was got off soon afterwards. The report of Her Majesty's ship Gibraltar, 81, having proceeded to England has been contradicted. Capt. R. Coote, her new captain, joined her at Gibraltar on the Ist inst., and it is now said that she will re turn from Cadiz to Gibraltar and Malta. Arumour, however, still exists that she will be shortly ordered home to relieve the Edgar, 71, as flagship to the Channel squadron. We are daily in expectation of hearing the news of the Malta and Alexandria Tele graph. Up to this morning nothing is known further than the arrival of the Fanny Lambert at Bengazi, and her departure thence to the spot where the rupture is supposed to have takenplace—namely, about 25 miles to the eastward of that station, and whither Her Majesty's ship Cossack was ordered to join'her. Mr. J. E. C. Sullivan, formerly secretary to Vice-Admiral H. T. Austin, C. 8., left by the Ellora on Sunday last for England." The Turkish screw line-of-battle ship Kossova, 80, Admiral Edham Pasha, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from Southampton, where she has been fitted with her machinery. In passing Osborne the Kossova was dressed out in colours, her yards were manned, and a Royal salute of 21 guns was fired from her deck batteries in honour of the Queen's presence at her marine palace. On arriving at Spit headthe Kossova exchanged the customary honorary salutes with the flagship of the Port Admiral and with the garrison saluting battery. • After saluting the Kossova steamed into Portsmouth harbour and was berthed alongside:the jetty of the dockyard, to complete the outfit for sea, in company with the two Ottoman frigates which arrived at Portsmouth a few days ago from the Thames. Admiral Edham Pasha and the officers of the Ottoman squadron were the guests of Admiral Sir Michael Seymour at a ball given by the Commauder-in-Chief of her Majesty's ships at Portsmouth, at the Admiralty inmsersPor!amnutii dockyardi— ' The officials connected with the master ship wright's department at Chatham dockyard have been engaged during the last day or two in taking copies and drawings of the plans of the Bombay line-of-battle ship, the intelligence of the destruc tion of which has been received, to enable the Ad- miralty to ascertain the nature of the fittings and method of ventilation, as well as the arrangements generally, of the spirit-room in which the fire on board is stated to have originated. From the posi tion of the spirit-room and the easy manner in which access to it could be gained it is surprising that a fire originating there was not easily extinguished. At present, however, it would seem exceedingly impro bable that the spirit-room was the exact locality of the fire, and the official particulars of the calamity are therefore awaited with interest. A public meeting has been held at Pembroke in reference to the proposed removal of the Bth depot battalion from the hut encampment at Pembroke Dock. The Mayor (Mr. Dawkins) presided, and there were also present Earl Cawdor, Mr. J. H. Scourfield, M.P., Mr. Lort Phillips, M.P„ &c. A letter was read from Sir Hugh Owen, M.P. stating that before long he hoped a strong military force would be stationed at Pembroke Dock. A memorial was unanimously agreed to, addressed to the Secretary of State for War, requesting his lord ship that, whatever changes may be made as to the description of troops stationed at Pembroke Dock, the total number should not be reduced. It was stated in the Naval Intelligence of The Sun, on Tuesday, that among " the ships of war on the Australian station was the Harrier, 17, Acting- Commander Swan, at New Zealand." In this there is a mistake. The Harrier is under the command of Commander W. Fenwick, who joined his ship in September or October last. THROWING OIL OF VITRIOL.—The cowardly and cruel practice of throwing oil of vitriol and pepper in the faces of people supposed to be worth robbing, or from motives of revenge, is reviving in Liverpool, and at the police court yesterday a woman named Ann Cooper was charged with throwing a cup full of oil of vitriol on a man with whom she hail cohabited. The contents of the cup fortunately missed the man's face, but it destroyed some of his clothes. The prisoner, who said she did not care what became of her, was remanded for seven days.

A still larger number are expected to desert. The dissatisfaction h as ar i sen, say the deserters, f rom a defi ciency in the quality and quantity of the provisions served out, from appointing a half-caste as it petty officer over the men, and from the harsh manner in which the duties of the ship are carried on. On the other side it is alleged that the deserters are a restless, ill-conditioned set of bad cha racters, who, having received two months' advance notes and got them cashed, are now anxio us to break their en gagements and to return.to Londo n, to run over a similar course with some other owners . The diet on board, it ap pears, consists of bread and cocoa for breakfast, meat and vegetables for dinner, and boiled beans or rice for supper. Some of the men say that they were only induced to ship in these vessels from a belief that they were really intended for the Confederate service a la Alabama, and that the agent who shipped them favoured this supposition. A portion of the deserters being in a position to incur the attendant expenses, have left Plymouth for their homes, while others in a state of destitution have been charitably entertained by some innkeepers.—Western Norning News.
