Percy, V.C., commandant of the camp at Colchester, is understood to have been appointed to the command of one of the divisions at Aldershott, in the room of Major-Gen. Bates. Col. Borton, C. 8., of the 17th depot battalion, stationed at Limerick, is appointed to the command at Col- chester. Yesterday the shipwrights at Chatham dockyard commenced preparing the blocks in No. 3 dock for docking the large paddlewheel steamer Terrible, 21, 1,850 tons, 800-horse power, in order that she may be surveyed to ascertain the injuries she received from her recent stranding. In consequence of her great size it will be necessary to remove her paddle wheels, and even then the operation of docking her will have tobe performed with great care, the extreme breadth of her beam to the outside of her paddle boxes being 75ft. 4in., and the breadth of the dock inside the castiron bollards being only 76ft.-18in:-,- leaving lft. 6in. only clear. As it is, the tramway and platform laid down to facilitate the plating of the ironclad frigate Royal Oak will have to be clear away before the Terrible can be docked. She is to be brought forward to accompany the Great Eastern in laying down the Atlantic telegraph cable. Her Majesty's sailing ship Ganges, 84, having been inspected in accordance with orders from the Ad miralty and found fit for employment as a receiving hulk, is to be taken .from Sheerness to Devonport to be engaged in that service. The Lizard, 3, iron paddlewheel vessel, 340 tons, 150-horse power, tender to the Formidable, 28, flag ship of Vice-Admiral Sir C. Talbot, K.C.8., Com manding-in-Chief at Sheerness, is to be supplied with a 20-pounder Armstrong pivot gun in lieu of the 18-pounder, old pattern, now on board. The Challenger, 22, screw steam corvette, 1,462 tons, 400-horse power, Captain J. Kennedy,. C. 8., which is now being dismantled preparatory to being paid out of commission at Sheerness, is by orders received yesterday from the Admiralty to be imme diately got ready for re-commission. Her stores, guns, ammunition, &c., will be removed to the dock yard in such a manner that they can at once be re placed, on board the ship when she has had the necessary repairs effected. The Barracouta, 6, paddlewheel sloop, 1,053 tons, 300-horse power, which is undergoing repairs in No. 2 dock, Sheerness-yard, is to be pushed forward as quickly aki possible, and to be refitted for immediate service. The Virago, 6, paddlewheel sloop, 1,059 tons, 300- horse power, Commander W. G. H. Johnstone, now on her passage from Bermuda to Sheerness, is to be paid off on her arrival, and immediately repaired and refitted for re-commission. The Scout, 21, screw steam corvette, 1,462 tons, 400-horse power, Master in charge A. J. Burneston, and the Basilisk, 6, paddlewheel sloop, 1,031 tons, 400-horse power, which have been thoroughly re paired and refitted in Sheerness-yard, are ordered to be completed as early as possible, and to be made ready for service. The Turkish frigates Ertoroul, Capt. Hassein Bey, and Hudavendighicer, Capt. Ahmed Bey, steamed into Portsmouth harbour yesterday for the purpose of receiving their stores and completing their outfit. The Himalaya troopship, Capt. E. Lacey, was placed in No. 10 dock at Portsmouth yesterday, to have her machinery completed. It is expected she will not be available for service before the beginning of March. The iron-cased screw steam sloop Enterprise, 4, Commander Chas. T. Rowley, left Plymound sound on Wednesday morning for the Mediterranean. It is probable that the Geyser and Enterprise will go together. The paddlewheel steam storeship Dee, 7, Master Commander George Raymond, from Woolwich, with boilers for the ironship Lord Clyde, 24, arrived on Tuesday at Plymouth, and is now in Hamoaze shipping additional stores for conveyance to Pem broke. The screw steam corvette Cadmus, 21, Captain Alexander C. Gordon, which returned to Plymouth Sound on Monday morning in consequence of hav ing been in collision with a barque, is now alongside the dockyard at Devonport having defects made good. The barque the Maynards is also in the hands of the dockyard artisans. The paddlewheel steam sloop Geyser, 6, Com mander Arthur T. Thrupp, from Portsmouth, hove to on Wednesday morning, at eleven o'clock, out side Plymouth breakwater, ready to embark super numeraries for conveyance to Gibraltar. Joseph Murors Woollan has been appointed Sub- Lieut. in the Royal Naval Reserve. We have to record the death, on the 14th inst., of Commander Henry Garrett, an officer who served at Trafalgar. He was born at Hambledon, Hants, in 1786, and entered the navy in 1799. As mid shipman he served under Lord Nelson in the expe dition to the West Indies in pursuit of the combined fleets. In 1812 he served on shore as lieutenant in co-operation with the patriots on the north coast of Spain, and was wounded while in command of a battery at Santander. He was paid off in March, 1816. From March, 1832, till March, 1837, he had charge of the Semaphore Station at Holder-hill, in Sussex; from 1841 he was simila rl y employed at Beacon-hill, Hants, until those stations were done away with ; on the 28th of July, 1851, he was made a Commander on reserved half-pay. THE VOLUNTEERS 2D SURREY ARTILLERY BRIGADE. The ceremony of the presentation of prizes to members of this corps for carbine shooting during the past year took place on Tuesday night, under very favourable auspices, in the excellently con structed hall at the headquarters, Gresham-road, Brixton. The room was most tastefully decorated ; and photographs of incidents in connection with the corps placed round the room lent a novelty to the scene which was much admired. The tickets said " evening dress or full uniform." The chair was occupied by F. DOULTON, Esq., M.P., who, after some remarks on the rise and pro gress of the volunteer movement, introduced Col.

Lombard-Street. The Right Hon, F. Peel at Bury. BURY, Wednesday Night. The Right Hon. F. Peel, Under Secretary to the Trea sury, addressed his constituents to-night, in Bambrook mill. Mr. H. Oram presided over a large meeting. The Hon. MEMBER, who was warmly received, com menced his address by remarking that the Danish question, which was so popular a year ago, was now a bygone one, and by contending that the charge of humiliation brought against this country was wholely unfounded. It was, he said, wise to narrow the .subjects which might be called proper ones; for the interim-once of this country. Our aim should be peace and neutrality, and non-intervention should be our line of conduct. (Applause.) Non-inter vention had long been the rule as regarded the interna tional affairs of foreign countries, and it was the rule of con duct in those cases where part of a country detached itself from the other and endeavoured to set up itself and make good a title to independence. This principle had been ap plied to the case of the Southern. States of America. We had recognized those States as belligerents, but not until the Northern States had done the same, and, having placed North and South in the same rank as belligerents, if our duties as a neutral Power required us to refuse to supply arms and ammunition to the South, the same neutral con duct required us to refuse arms and ammunition to the North. (Applause.) We had not recognized the South be cause the North had not abandoned its efforts, still less its hopes, of subjugating the South ; nor, on the other hand, had the South succeeded in establishing its independence ; and therefore.recognition at such a time would be more than an acknowledgment of ,such a fact—it would be, in fact, as sistance inconsistent with the observance of neutrality. (Applause.). But it was not possible to lay down positively upon this question of non-intervention that, happen what may, Englandwould_unt r go, bo laid clOwn as e Ater policy that peace and neutrality should not be departed from except in cases where there was really no option. The object of the existing Parliament had been in recent Sessions to diminish the burden of taxa tion, and as a necessary preliminary to diminish taxation. In 1860 the expenditure of the country exceeded £72,000,000 but since then it had been declining, and for the year 1861 it was not more than £67,000,000, and he hoped it had not yet reached its lowest point. This reduction, however, gave but an inadequate idea of the relief it had brought upon the taxes. The income tax had been reduced from 9d. to 6d. in the pound ; and it had reduced the money paid by the tax payer every year by £4,000,000. The consumers of tea and sugar had also experienced considerable relief. Since 1860 there had been a total of taxes remitted of £10,000,000, and the surprising thing was that the general income was no less now than it was before the reduction commenced. Pruning the revenue in this prudent manner was like thin ning a plantation. The more that was cut away within bounds of prudence the more vigorous was the growth of what was left behind. We appeared to be about to lose the long pre-eminence we have maintained in the matter of a national debt. We were threatened with a rival, the ra pidity of whose debt, although they were much junior to ourselves, had far exceeded our experience. Our debt had been the accumulation of a war expenditure spread over several years, and America, which had been at war but four years, had already a public debt which could not be less than 400 millions sterling, and the annual charge upon it would be much more than ours. Although not insensi ble to the evils of intemperance, he could not vote for the second reading of the Permissive Bill. Neither the law nor the Government were indifferent on the subject. Had the bill, however, been carried there* would have been never-ending strife in every district, and Parliament would have been called upon to abolish the means of existence of some 150,000 families in the country, and to mitke them depend upon the uncertain issue of a vote, and perhaps be annihilated by a single blow. He voted for Mr. Baines's and Mr. Locke King's Reform Bills, but he was bound honestly to say he did not go the length which was gone by some, and did not accede to those broad propositions which were laid down that the Englishman was not free be cause there were millions in this country who did not possess the right of voting. (Cheers.) The franchise, however, might be extended to a certain point. It was like extending a telescope—when the tube was pulled out the object be came more distinct, unproved in appearance, had a clearer outline, had every feature in detail better defined ; but if that tube were pulled out indefinitely, although the object became vaster in appearance, it lost its distinctness. Its outline could scarcely be discerned, and everything by and by appeared upside down. (Cheers.) The franchise might be extended by wholesale to those who had now no right of voting, and it would be justified if thereby could be obtained the advantages of a better Government. But the question to be considered, and the difficulty to be encountered, was the danger thiit if in the constituencies there were the mere numerical majority of those who lived by the labour of their hand, the House of Commons would become the representative of one class, although not necessarily of one opinion ; and thereby the House of Commons would lose that characteristic which it had so long enjoyed of being the representative of all classes and interests in the country, which thus acted as a check upon each other, and secured that everything done shoul d b e for the general good. (Applause.) It would be, indeed, a great misfor tune if the essential character of the House of Commons should be in any degree altered. Upon a question like this it was impossible not to contrast Parliament with Congress. The House of Commons was chosen by a free and open, but not unbalanced constituency. And Congress was re turned by a suffrage without restriction. Had Congress been blotted out of the map of the institution of America ? Strange that it should have dropped out of view, at a time like the present, when one would have thought that the people in that country would have turned instinctively to their representatives in the National Assembly, to be ad vised by their council in the great perils and agitations existing. But, agitated as that country had been—as if by the fury of a tempest—there had not been to his knowledge a voice out of Congress heard with power sufficient to stir a single wave in that great commotion. It would seem that the power of the House of. Commons and Congress, as regarded the influence of the constituencies, was in reverse ratio. Therefore, let us extend the franchise, as far as it was possible, but only upon the condition that we did not forego any one of the securities now possessed for the pre servation of genuine liberty and good settled government. (Loud cheers.) It was satisfactory to know that the subject was engaging general attention ; and, although he did not agree with all the propositions recommended in Lord Grey's book, he thought it—and especially the two chapters newly added—well worth reading, and would much contribute to a right settlement and conclusion of the question. (Cheers.) The right hon. member concluded with general and local references to trade and commerce, past and present. A warm vote of confidence was also unanimously passed by the meeting, and acknowledged by Mr. Peel. Antiquity of Nan• Mr. Locke read a paper on this subject before the Royal Irish Academy on MondaY. He attempted to prove from history, sacred and secular, and from experience, that civilization was the primitive con dition of man, that moral declension to extreme barbarism had been cumulatively rapid in every age of the world ; while of spontaneous progression, ab infra from savagery to civilisation, apart from the introduction of extern aid or special supplement of Christian culture, there was no authenticated ex ample. The opinions of archaeologists and geolo gists respecting the so-called stone era were re viewed, and the pariah tribes and lake dwellings of Switzerland referred to the historic period of Hel vetia, as known to the Greeks and Romans, from the Christian irruptions of the Teutons and Cimbri to the barbarian invasions of the Gallo-Roman period. Respecting the transmutation theory of pithecoid to rational man,. he observed that in Aus tralia,link might be .pec of the human confi dently sought ; for there the aborignal Papuan pre sents if anywhere, the missing organism. Nevertheless, it so happens that the simix are not found, either fossil or indigenous, the the most debased palaeontology of that region indicating a geologic era many thousand years anterior to their appear ance on the earth; however, there was no account ing for taste, and the pride of ancient ancestry some times assumed an amusing perversion. The simian advocates might easily test the conditions of their fantastic thesis by organising a mission to the banks of the Gaboon-- 4 ' Where wild in woods the noble savage runs"— not for the purpose of skinning their hirsute cou sins, like Hanno or du C . haillu, but of i n troducing social reform and educating them up to their own standard of rational accountability. Doubtless the c i v ilized Orsons of Gorilla Land would hereafter move respectably on all fours in anthropomorpho logical circles, and in due time be enabled to en lighten their scientific patrons and the public on the genea l o gy and habits of pithecoid or priscan man. Mr. Locke contended that sufficient evidence had not yet been produced to demonstrate the univer sality of a stone era, or . to disprove the Mosaical limit of 6,000 years since the creation of man. From the days of Adam to the p r e sen t ti me civilisa tion and savagery had dwelt together upon "the earth, associated, although in contrasted aspects ; and their continuance without coalescing awaited the solution of the providential, not geologic, future.

MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLNSHIRE. The half-yearly meeting was held yesterday at the London road station, Manchester—Mr. Watkin, 31. P., in the chair. An abstract of the report has appeared in The Sun. The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, entered into ex planations to show that it was in a great measure on account of the temporary burden of interest on property not yet de veloped, and a loss of about £12,000 on the South Yorkshire line, on which traffic had been for a time paralysed by the colliers' strike, that this half-year's dividend was not at the rate of 31, instead of 21 per cent. Something was also due to the recent commercial panic, when money was at 10 per cent. The company had earned £35,273 increase of traffic on the united systems of the Sheffield and South York shire, at an increased cost of 21 per cent. ; so that the in crease of traffic had yielded 79 per cent. of net profit. (Hear.) The Humber traffic agreement between the com panies concerned had been renewed,, and he showed that while the decTated'valtirof nierehandise exports (exclusive of coal or coke) from Grimsby was in 1861 £2,270,533, and from Hartlepool £5,926,909, the exports from the latter had fallen to £2,161,660 in 1864, while the exports had risen to £8,050,762 at Grimsby, which now ranked fourth among the English ports in this respect. He regretted to see laid before Parliament this session nearly 500 new railway schemes, involving a capital of about £75,000,000, as to which, with one or two exceptions, there were actu ally no shareholders. (Hear, hear.) The Lancashire and Yorkshire Company had unfortunately departed from its old policy of quiet conservatism, and united with the Great Eastern in its Northern Junction scheme. Such a combination to take away traffic from the Great Northern, the Midland, and the Sheffield compelled the initiation of a countervailing policy, and to some extent induced com panies to become joint and equal partners in the lines to the west of Manchester. It was a gratifying reflec tion that the Sheffield company had carried its passen gers with a remarkable immunity from accident. Con sidering that only 14 passengers last year were killed in accidents on railways beyond their own control, out of the 204,000,000 conveyed in the United Kingdom, he was bound to say there was no industrial vocation at all involving casualty that could in any way compare with this favour able result. (Cheers.) He referred to the absence of certain classes of accidents, such as the breakage of couplings, which formerly were frequent, and said the attention of the directors would still be given to the increase of mea sures of protection and comfort, several of which this com pany had been the first to introduce. (Hear, hear.) Ho solicited the support of the shareholders for the proposed independent line to Liverpool, which was rendered abso lutely necessary by the development of the district, by the constant obstruction and delay on the existing line, for which the London and North-Western afforded no remedy. The new line of 24 miles from Old Trafford to Garston would cost about £750,000, and being the shortest route would enable express trains to run between Manchester and Liver pool in 45 minutes: (Cheers.) Having adverted at consi derable length to the question of the Government- pur chasing and working the railways, he concluded . by mov ing the adoption of the report and statement of accounts. Mr. FENTON, deputy chairman, seconded the motion. Mr. Roberts, of Chester, Mr. Higginbotham, and Mr. Healey objected to the introduction of so many schemes, and the latter gentleman strongly protested against the proposed line between Manchester and Liverpool. Mr. TREVOR said the new line was an absolute necessity. The CHAIRMAN replied to several questions which had been asked upon some minor details ; the report was adopted, and the dividends therein recommended were de clared. The meeting was then made special, when the raising of further capital was authorised, and the directors were em powered to contribute to the local railways mentioned in he report. The meeting then separated. NORTH WESTERN AND CHARING-CROSS. The first ordinary meeting of this company was appointee to be held yesterday at the offices, Duke-street, West. minster, but in consequence of the non-attendance of share• holders to constitute a meeting, no business was transacted GREAT EASTERN. It is reported that the Bury St. Edmund's and Sudbury extension of this company's line will be ready for goods traffic in March and for passenger traffic in May. COLCHESTER AND STOUR VALLEY. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Colchester on Tuesday ; Mr. T. L. Ewen in the chair. An abstract of the report has appeared in The Sun. On the motion of the Chairman, the report was adopted and a dividend at the rate of £3 6s. per cent. per annum was declared on the ordinary stock of the company. After some conversation a resolution to fill up thevacancy in the board was adopted, and Mr. C. H. Hawkins was re commended for that purpose. The reductions recommended in the report, of the directors' allowance from £lOO to £5O per annum, and of the auditors' remuneration from £2l to £lO per annum, were agreed to. The chairman and Mr. W. W. Hawkins were re-electedadirectors ; and also Mr. Coleman, the retiring auditor. The proceedings closed with thanks to the chairman and dir sectors. KINGSBRIDGE (SOUTH DEVON). The first general meeting of this company was held at Dodbrooke on Tuesday ; Mr. W. B. Fortescue in the chair The report stated that after some delay the directors succeeded in making very satisfactory arrangements with their contractors for the immediate commencement and completion of the line from Brent to Kingsbridge. To carry these arrangements into full effect it would be necessary for the company to raise, by a disposal of additional shares, the sum of £5,000. The directors had not hesitatedto accede to those arrangements, without awaiting the confirmation of the shareholders as the terms were so exceedingly favourable. The South Devon Company repudiated the intention of fostering any scheme detrimental to the company's interests, and incompatible with the engagements entered into be tween the two companies by the sanction of Parliament. Earl DEVON moved the adoption of the report, in doing which he mentioned that £20,000 worth of shares had been taken in the locality. The Rev, A. MIDDLETON seconded the motion, and it was carried nem. con. The directors were re-elected, and the meeting separated. RAILWAY BILLS.

Theyinhad mart th b e l e fi , g a iir w e s h i w c h a s t h h e e d y , and the first was a Jupiter, which had nothing else than a pair of boots on. (Laughter.) There was also a Venus and an undoubted Diana, and they all had a certain mark on the forehead which showed that they had been made by the Greeks. He had spoken of Sparks as the inventor of gunpowder ; he might also say that he was the originator of the mortar, for on one occasion he was grinding gunpowder in a mortar (supposed to be iron) and it threw him on his back, teaching him the law of projectiles. (Laughter.) He promised them that if they pro gressed in their efficiency they should have a mortar or two. He could not impress upon the gunners too much the necessity of their learning their duties, and the officers would do well to make themselves acquainted with mathematics, surveying, levelling, i the attack and defence of places, and the law of • projectiles and motion. They must not onl y know how to fight with their guns, but also to repa ir them if they became damaged. The gallant colonel con cluded by saying that discipline was of the first im portance, and that he hoped on field-days artillery men would abstain from smoking. _ _. • Colonel M‘Murdo then proceeded withthe delivery of the prizes, which amounted in the aggregate to the value of 162 guineas. At the conclusion of the ceremony, Major DURNFORD briefly thanked Col. M'Murdo for his attendance, and Captain Jenkins proposed a vote of thanks to Colonel Erskine for attending, which was heartily responded to. Colonel ERSKINE, in responding, said that he was not altogether a stranger to them, for he had seen them at reviews, &c. Their corps was first formed liflB6Tr. — Tirlrtigiat, - 18St, they had` 121 enrolled `- members. The next year they had 185 members. On the Ist December, 1863, they had 227 members, 140 of them were efficients, which was 61 per cent., and on the Ist December they had 370 members, 228 being efficients, thereby exhibiting the same re sult. He saw from the report of the inspection that it was very satisfactory. Three officers had attached themselves to the army, and this was to be com mended, as they would learn more than from mere volunteer drill. He was pleased they had not been exempted from big gun drill, particularly when the difficulty of obtaining ranges was taken into con sideration. The gallant concluded by wishing them every prosperity for the future, and resumed his seat amidst vociferous applause. Mr. BURT spoke in highly eulogistic terms of Major Durnford, the commanding officer, who, he said, had not only given great time to them, but also much pecuniary aid. Major DURNFORD, in returning thanks, said that he had to announce a great addition in the prizes for next year. The object of their corps was to work and be efficient, and in accordance with Colonel M'Murdo's advice the prizes next year would be re stricted to big guns. The proceedings of the distribution, after a vote of thanks to the chairman, then closed to give way to Terpsichorean exercises. HEALTH OF LONDON, (From the Registrar-G;nerats Weekly Return.)

Fifteen hundred and eighty-five deaths were re gistered in London in the week that ended Jan. 21. In the corresponding weeks of ten years, 1855-64, the average number of deaths is, with a correction for increase of population, 1,637. The deaths in the present return, therefore, are less by 52 than the estimated number. From zymotic diseases 357 persons died. Small pox proved fatal to 7 children and 2 adults ; 42 deaths occurred from measles, 5 of these cases were registered in the sub-district of Kensington-town ; typhus carried off 81 persons 5 deaths occurred from this disease in the sub-district of Whitecross street, 4 in that of St. Giles South, and 4 in that of Hoxton New-town ; 52 deaths were caused by scar latina, 12 by diphtheria, and 62 by whoopingeough.

From bronchitis 221 deaths occurred ; 101 persons died from pneumonia, and 22 from asthma. Phthisis proved fatal to 156 persons. From dis eases of the heart 72 deaths were registered, and from various diseases of the brain and nervous sys tem 175 persons died. The winter season is more particularly fatal to perions advanced in life. Fifty-six persons died last week who had attained the age of 80 years and upwards ; amongst this number are recorded the deaths of six nonagenarians, the eldest of whom was a widow who had attained the age of 98 years. Thirty-six persons were accidentally killed. Nine deaths were caused by burns or scalds, three persons were drowned, and four were suffocated. Eleven deaths were occasioned by fractures or contusions. The wife of a pedlar, aged •56 years, died in the workhouse, Clerkenwell, from a fracture of the ribs, from being run over by a mail cart. The daughter of a carpenter, aged 2 years, died on 11th January, at 150, Long-lane, Bermondsey, from in j uries I caused by a cart passing over her. A spinster, aged 62 years, died at the City of London Union work house, Bromley, on 18th January, from exhaustion consequent on her refusal to take food. Last week the births of 1,053 boys and 1,069 girls, in all 2,122 children were registered in Lon don. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1855-64 the average number (corrected) was 2,015. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.178 in. The barometrical reading increased from '28.80 in. at the beginning of the week to 29.51 in. on Satur day. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 34.1 deg., which is 2.7 deg. below the average of the same week in 50 years (as determined by 11r. Glaisher). The highest day temperature was 42.6 deg. on Sunday. The lowest night temperature was 19.7 deg. on Saturday. The entire rang e of temperature in the week was therefore 22.9 deg. The mean of the highest temperature of the waester of the Thames was 41.1 deg. ; that of the lo n ly ea : was 39.0 deg. The difference between the deg.
