HIGII 'WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE. Tuffs DAT.—Morning, h. m. I Afternoon, 12h. 4m. To-lifoßßo . w.-Morning, 12h. 28m. I Afternoon, 12h. 50m. q. t 7 g4 Sum _ - LONDON, SATURDAY, NOV. 23, 1867. During the brief period which the House of Commons sat last night Mr. HUNT gave notice of a resolution, that the Secretary of State for India will move next Tuesday, on the subject of the expedi tion to Abyssinia, apportioning the expenses on the India revenue, with the provision that any ex penses incurred by replacing the troops and vessels sent on the expedition should be repaid out of the sums voted by Parliament for the purposes of the said expedition. Mr. AYRTON ir quired of Lord STAN LEY as to the particulars of the Honduras railway loan, and the noble lord entered into some explanations on the matter. He said that the question in itself was fair and opportune, and that no " new treaty or guarantee had been entered into with the State of Honduras, and that there was no intention of con cluding any such treaty." The treaty referred to was that of August 185 G, which can only come into force, when the railway was made. Furthermore, the treaty goes on to say that the protection and guarantee are granted conditionally, and may be withdrawn at six months' notice " if any regulation be made contrary to the spirity of the treaty." By the terms of the treaty Her Britannic MA JESTY recognises the rights of sovereignty and property of Honduras over the road to be con structed by the Honduras Oceanic Railway Com pany, so long as the privileges we ceded in the section of the articles referred to be enjoyed by Great Britain. This seems satisfactory enough, and the doubts entertained by the hon. member for the Tower Hamlets may well be set at rest thereby. In the course of his remarks Mr. AYRTON gave an amusing account of the mistakes which have been made in believing the representations of cer tain travellers. Some years ago a man declared that he bad been to a certain point in Central America, and and had stood on a hill from which he could see the Atlantic, and a short time after he had come to a place where he saw the Pacific. A commission was sent out to ascertain the truth of this statement, when it was found out that after being on the Atlantic he had taken a walk, and " tanning in the direction of the spot he had previously occupied he saw the Atlantic again." Mr. DARBY GRIFFITH referred to some arrests of Englishmen that had been made in France, to which Lord STANLEY replied by giving an explanation of the case, and requesting the hon. member to give him the names and particulars in order that he might make inquiries. Respecting Mr. CAMERON, the most important case alluded to, it appears that the Vice-Consul who interposed to protect him was in reality the party most aggrieved, and that he had accepted the apology subsequently offered in consi deration of the irritating circumstances preceding the offence. It may be observed that while the French EMPEROR has dispensed with passports for English travellers, it is necessary that some care should be taken in order that no im position be practised by those who pretend to be British subjects. In this case here referred to, there was an Italian suspected by the police in company with the gentlemen whose passport was asked for, and hence arose this misunderstanding that had led to unpleasant consequences. As a rule it would be better and more dignified if both the travellers and the police agents kept more com mand over themselves, and refrained from using hasty expressions. Considering all things, it must be conceded that the Home Secretary hls acted with discretion in the melancholy business of the Fenian convicts at Manchester. In advising the QUEEN to reprieve SHORE he has again afforded an instance of judg ment, and at the same time proved that the humane intentions of the Government are in no wise inter fered with by the extravagant conduct of the depu tation at the Home-office last week. The case of SHORE is, without question, very different from that of the other accused ones, since he was found to be without arms. The other three, ALLEN GOULD, and LARKIN, not only carried, but used deadly weapons. It is true that ALLEN fired with the most deadly effect, but the guilt of the other two was quite as great, and all who rightly consider the question will acknowledge it to be the fact. The part which SHORE took in the affray was cer tainly an active one, but it appears to have been chiefly confined to throwing stones at the crowd,who pressed upon the scene. Mr. HARDY may yell stand criticism upon this point, for the convict whom he has recommended W the mercy of the law was in .a very Tag SUN, LONDON SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER n, 1867 different position as regards actual guilt from his fellow prisoners ; he is indeed culpable for having joined in an enterprise which threatened the lives of those engaged in the discharge of their duties, but such an offence may be disconnected from that of wilfully attempting to destroy life by the use of deadly weapons. At any rate, a very fair opportunity has thus presented itself for the prerogative of the Crown to be exercised, and we are glad that it has thus been taken advantage of. Such an illustration of mercy ought to satisfy all the scruples that have existed as to the undue severity practised by the authorities, and to show that no notice was taken of the outrage to good taste and good feeling committed in the endeavour to force a deputation on the Home Secretary. At the same time it is scarcely necessary to say that it would have been quite out of character for her MAJESTY to have received the deputation which was deputed to wait on her yesterday at Windsor. In a cautious but firm manner the members of the deputation were informed that it was imposible for their request to be rated. It is to be hoped that any further out breaks and: disturbances may be prevented, or speedily put a stop to by the good sense of the rest of the community ; and, sad as the whole of this Manchester affair has been, there is good reason to trust the combined justice and mercy that have been shown to the offenders may produce good effects, and put a decisive stop to the disgraceful conspiracy which has too long disturbed the peace of the com munity and caused serious anxiety to the lovers of order. All possible lenity was shown last year t.? the Fenian offenders, but unhappily the hopes thence entertained were doomed to disappointment, and no real blame can be attached to those who now vindicate the offended majesty of justice in the only direct manner possible. The difficulties which 'the Radicals have brought upon themselves and their countrymen by their rash and hasty policy with regard to the Negroes are increasing rather than diminishing. It was not to be expected that so inflammable a people would submit with patience and equanimity to the alter nations of hope and disappointment which the Radical policy has subjected them to. The divi sion of the planters' estates among their former slaves has always been a favourite scheme of the ultra-politicians, and at every opportunity it has been talked about among the Southern popu lation. The consequence is that what was only a theory to the orators has become a reality to their audiences, who are eager to see the immediate fulfilment of their ex pectations. The news brought by the Prussia, from Nets York on the 13th, reports that the negroes throughout Virginia are drilling, and refuse to work unless they are offered a share of the crops. They threaten a forcible seizure of the lands, and further items of news from Virginia confirm the impression of local disturbance. Lindsey, the negro delegate to the Virginia Conven tion, has been arrested at Richmond by the military, for an incendiary speech. At Strasburg the ex bureau officer was mobbed by the negroes, who afterwards resisted the attempts of the civil officers to arrest them. Judge PARKER of Winchester, has been arrested for withholding legal justice from loyal men—a suspicious phrase HUNNICUTT, it is said, will be indicted for inciting to revolt. The central authority bas evidently arrived at the con clusion that it is time to take vigorous steps to re store order. General GRANT has ordered the dis bandment of all military organisations, black and white, in the district of Columbia. The PRESI DENT, iu directing this course, says :—"I am advised that there are within the district of Columbia a number of armed organisations, formed without the authority of law, and for purposes which have not been communicated to the Government." Further on he says that they are at the present time "unnecessary for the preserva tion of order or the protection of the civil authority;" and he, therefore, directs the General to take official steps for promptly disbanding and suppressing all such illegal organisations." The propriety of such a decided measure will be readily perceived after reading a few of the detailed accounts of the local proceedings. Armed bands of negroes are drilling in most of the Southern States, and churches and barns resound at night with the tread of their march and the rattle of their muskets. Travellers at night through lonely roads are often bidden to " halt !" by a negrosentinel. In Louisiana a planter hired some freedmen to work on his cotton lands, promising them one-third of the crop as payment. When the time came to collect the crop the negroes took half. The planter objected, and was attacked. He de fended himself with firearms, and the military came to his assistance, but the blacks attacked the mili tary, and had to be repulsed with loss of life. The turn which American politics have taken since the elections will, we may hope, exercise a salutary influence in the repression of negro as sumption. There can be no doubt that this has weighed with the Northern people in giving their votes. Negro equality has never been popular in the North. The* Radical party might cheer its advocates on the platform, but so soon as their theories are put into practice their ardour cools. The common sense of the country is against such a dan gerous experiment, and the American people prize their civilisation too highly to be willing to throw it back several paces. Not one Northern State has accepted negro suffrage. In Kansas there was a large majority against it, though Kansas is filled with Republicans. In New York State the Democratic majority was 4,500; in New York city it reached the immense number of 61,175. The States where the Radicals have carried the day, and the people have shown any sympathy for the tyrannical and extravagant policy of Congress, have been the ex ception, and even in those the former majorities of the extreme party have been marvellously dimi nished. President JouxsoN has, after all, proved himself to be wiser than his counsellors in relying upon the good sense and good feeling of the majority of his countrymen, to defeat the machinations of those who for their own ends have laboured to rekindle the flames of civil war, to keep up mutual bitterness and strife, and suspicion, to oppress the fallen and punish the suffering, and in every possible manner to retard the progress of the nation towards union and peace, and internal prosperity. The effect of their mis chievous legislation upon trade and commerce has been only too severely felt. Seven years of disunion and disorganisation, of military government and perpetual inter national' disturbance, must affect the wealthiest and strongest nation. There is no doubt that if the Confederacy had been really established, and the Southern States had accomplished their fatal sever ance from the North, the North would now be more flourishing. The South, as the Radicals have kept it, is no source of wealth to the nation. It is a heavy expense, and its unsettled condition para lyses enterprise and damps energy. The Radicals have damaged the national credit —have interfered with every attempt to reor ganise the finances—have made civil liberty a byeword, and political freedom a nonentity in the States. By their insolent and violent opposition to the PRESIDENT they have kept up a coustan agitation in the North itself, and by their continual reiterated threats of impeachtneut have laboured to bring the chief power of the State into contempt. It was not to be expected that a great people would much longer tolerate such interested agLators or be misled by their professions. An almost unlimited lease of power has been given them, and the use which they have made of it has been to disorganise the North and to crush the South ; to impoverish still further the embarrassed finances of the country ; to bring the public credit into disfavour with foreign nations, and to leave the whole people in a state of irritation, discontent, and suspicion. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Friday Evening. The latest news from Italy is satisfactory in the extreme. Tranquillity prevails everywhere, even in the towns where there was recently some disposi tion to insurrection. The Italian Parliament is to meet on the sth of December next, when it is to be hoped a solution will be given to many questions which have led to agitation in Italy. The Chambers .will first take into consideration the manner in which Garibaldi is to be disposed of. The infor mation I receive in official quarters is that measures will be proposed which - will effectually prevent him from again disturbing the tranquility of Italy, and calculated to arrest dangerous machinations against the beneficent sway of the Pope. The Emperor, Empress, and the Imperial Prince will leave St. Cloud in the early part of December, and pass the season at the Tuileries, it not being the intention of the Court to make any stay at Com piegne this year. beautiful statue representing the dying mo ments of the :First Napoleon, which was at the Ex hibition, and to which I called attention, has been purchased by the Emperor for 25,000 f., and is now at the Palace of St. Cloud. It is placed in the grand vestibule by the side of Sappho, by Pradier. The statue is by M. Veld, an Italian artist of great emi nence, and is decidedly the most admirable produc tion of the sculptor's art of modern times. It is dangerous in Paris, and perhaps everywhere else, to become too suddenly enchanted with a young and fascinating girl. Such was the case, however, a few days ago with a fashionable visitor to Paris, who met with such an enchantress in an omnibus, Acquaintance was soon formed, and an hour afterwards the lady and gentleman were enjoying a good breakfast in the Rue de Rivoli. At dessert the enchantress made an excuse to leave her friend for a minute, which like a Treasury minute, was a very long one. Indeed, she did not come back at all. When the young gallant was about to pay for the' breakfast ho discovered that not only was the lady gone but his purse also. and he was compelled to leave his watch and chain :with the restaurateur as security for the payment of the dill. Next evening the visitor went to the theatre, and a mong the fair Court ladies in the ballet be recognised L eau ty with whom he was so delighted in the omnibus. Ite wished to go upon the stage to ask the lady a question or two about his purse, but this not being permitted, he contented himself with an application to the Commissary of Police, who will no doubt procure him a second interview with the lady, which, it is to be hoped, may prove a more satisfactory one than the first, at all events to the gentleman. The Archduke Louis Victor of Austria has just left Vienna, with the intention of visiting Spain and Portugal. Baron de Hubner, Ambassador from his Imperial Royal and Apostolical Majesty to the Holy Sea has just been replaced in his diplomatic functions by Count Credelle. One of the most useful projects of law to be immediately submitted to the Chambers, will be a proposal to diminish the expense of telegraphic communication. The Journal des D ebats, remarking upon the speech of Lord Derby, draws thn conclusion that the English Government is not favourable to the occupation of Rome by French troops. In reference to this all important Roman question the Presse of Vienna says, that to find a satisfactory solution of it would be as difficult as to find the quadratuee of the circle, a puzzle to mathematicians for ages. The Court of Cassation has rejected the appeal of the butcher, Avinain, who was convicted of two murders, followed by robbery, of which I gave you the particulars, so he will, no doubt, be executed within a short delay. _ _ The Exhibition is now definitively closed. The reserved garden, including the aquarium and other marvels remained open until yesterday, but now all is over, and but a brief period will elapse before the whole massive building will be carried away, and not a fragment will be left. Its fame, how ever, will live after it for future generations. The Prussian Government has given its consent which will be of of the north and t g o r etahte importance i o n f o o r f t h a e r w a i h l way, ole west of Germany. This railway, when finished will in fact give a direct communication between' Hamburg and Paris, by Bremen, Osnaburg, and Cologne. It will place in communication with France the three great ports of Germany, Biel, Hamburg, and Bremen, connecting them with the coal districts of Westphalia. Palestine is at present the object of minute expla nations. One of the most indefatigable discoverers has ju.t found, beyond all doubt, the synagogue where Jesus Christ preached at Capharnaum. Very interesting results have arisen from the French scientific expedition in the basin of the Dead Sea, and the valley of Avabab. Among others is the exact level of the Dead Sea, which is found to be 392 yards lower than the Mediterranean. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKE7 —This Day. Market opens dull. Prices weak. Sales probably 8,000 bales. Yesterday's prices barely maintained. During the past few days there has been but little, in a military point of view, to vary the dull monotony of camp life at Aldershot. The Lieut.- Gen. commanding, whose presence is always an in dication of activity in the division, is away on leave, and that distinguished cavalry soldier, Major- Gen. Bodge, commands during his temporary ab sence. But, although field-days are in abeyance, the division has been exercised by brigades in route marching on different days, and has had the advan tage of very favourable weather. Nothing can be more exhilarating to the men, or more cheering to accidental spectators, than this route-marching, when the elements do not conspire to render it uncomfortable. As the troops leave the camp the air seems literally alive with the music, and as the men march along they often enliven the way by singing in full chorus. The infantry drill has under gone some alteration and improvement, and probably still further changes will be introduced, owing to the new and destructive weapons now in use. The Snider rifle has been well tried on field days, but its merits, when compared with the Chassepot, are in many quarters still a matter of dispute. It is asserted that the formation of the troops In firing had much to do with the success of the Prussians in the late war, and no doubt this subject will receive special attention in our army, as it is evident that the method by which the greatest number of shots can be brought to bear • must exercise an important influence in deciding the fate of any future battle. The cavalry, as well as the infantry, is tuat.ceavred with a regard to the improved weapons of the day, and the artillery, when acting in conjunction with cavalry, is made to fire against time. The Horse Artillery and the field batteries have been actively exercised during the week, and acquitted them selves admirably in the Long Valley in all the move ments peculiar to that arm of the service. The chartered transport ship John Scott, Capt. Stewart, from Auckland, New Zealand, arrived M the T pier, Woolwich Arsenal, yesterday morning, having been 116 days at sea.

According to advices received by the Britain, the Cape had recovered its equanimity after the excite• meat of the Royal visit. His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh left Simon's Bay on the 2d of October for Australia. His lengthened stay seemed to have passed off as agreeably to himself as it evi dently did to the Cape people. The Prince during his stay mingled freely among all classes, and paid private as well as public visits to institutions. Ile also made a careful inspection of the Breakwater works, and finally acknowledged the hospitality he had received by giving a return ball at Simon's Town prior to his departure. This ball was in every way a princely return of those given to the Duke by the Governor, colonists, and military, and passed off with brilliant eclat. The Duke left Cape Town finally on September 28. The meeting-of the Dutch Reformed Synod was opened on the Bth of October. It had excited much interest, but had ended abruptly and unsatis factory. The first question to be determined before it was whether the Rev. Messrs. Burgers and Kotze, the clergymen whose doubted orthodoxy caused legal proceedings that were adjudicated upon by the Privy Council on appeal adverse to the Synod, should or should not be at once recognised as minister of the Church and members of the Synod. A considerable minority of members thought the judgment of the Privy Council should be acquiesced in. The ma jority, however, decided that the Synod should be adjourned sine die, until an answer could be obtained to a petition transmitted to the Queen, to have it cleared up whether the judgment of the Privy Council was intended to have effect only quoad temporalia, or whether it extended to spiritual matters. These ministers continued their services, and with a few exceptions their congregations ad hered to them. It was said by a local journal that the " liberalism" of those ministers, though it pre vai!ed in the Dutch Church, had but very little sympathy with the extreme views held by the theo logians of Germany, or by Bishop Colenso. Ilis Excellency Sir P. E. Wodehouse would return to England by the next mail, on six months' have of absence, but it was not considered likely he would return to the colony, as his term of office will by that time have expired. The colonists express hopes that Sir George Grey will be the next Governor. Business during the past month had shown signs of an improvement in the colony. The weather had been very satisfactory for agriculture and the crops are very promising. _ Very little had been done during the month in the way of wool shipments, owing to the low price of wool in the English markets. Several vessels had sailed with full cargoes. A dangerous fever of a low typhoidal character, and sometimes assuming a malignant typhus form, had continued to prevail in Cape Town and in many other places in the colony. . i.L The number of men constantly under treatment in Cape Town was about 500, and the mortality was about 60 a week, while the ordinary mortality of the city was under 20 a week. Every effort was being made to en force sanitary rules. The Basuto war still continued. The Free State was said to have obtained some very decided suc cesses over the Basutos. An earthquake had occurred at East London and King William Town. The buildings were shaken. At Natal, in the case of the interdict sought to be obtained by Dr. Colenso against the Rev. Messrs Green, S. F. Robinson, and Walton, for preaching, the Court had refused the application. The rev. respondents were no ,v to be cited individually to appear on the first day of next term to show cause why they should not be deprived of their licences in the diocese. The Roman Catholic Bishop of Cape Town had been mobbed at Namaqual, and a mock religious procession paraded before him ; his absolution was asked for in derision, and his person pelted with filth by some ignorant members of the Dutch com munity in consequence of his having baptised two illegitimate children. The better class of the Dutch had protested against the outrage, and sympathised with the bishop. The Norseman arrived out on the 15th of Oct., and the Kaffraria on the 13th. Ifer Majesty's ships Nymph and Daphne, and the transports England's Queen and Bosphorus, were reported to have arrived out. The wreck of the latter must have occurred several days after the departure of the Briton. 111ARKETS—(This Day.) COVENT GARDEN.

Richard Gee, a costermonger, was charged on a summons with a violent assault on James Bongo, a blind man. James Benge, 25, Carey-place, Vauxhall-road, a blind lad, was led into the witness-box, and said on the morning of Thursday week, at 10 o'clock, his brother was unloading the van when the prisoner came and sat on a basket ; he asked the prisoner not to sit on it, when he used a very filthy expression. This the brother retaliated, whereupon the prisoner seized him by the throat, threw him down and knocked him about. Witness was close by and caught hold of the prisoner, asking him not to strike his brother, when he commenced a savage assault on prosecutor, struck him in the mouth, knocked him down, and kicked him ; he also used further violence to him, and bit him on the nose. Cross-examined by Prisoner—Did not strike you in the head or seize you by the neck before you struck me. Joseph Benge, the brother, corroborated the last witness; he retorted the expression used to him by prisoner, when the latter knocked him about, and when his brother caught hold of prisoner he was knocked down and kicked also, and brutally used. In cross-examination he denied striking defend ant ; his brother did not strike him first ; he did not see him. A girl struck him with the broom when he was beating the blind man. Sarah Gray, a girl about 13 years of age, was called, and corroborated the two last witnesses. 111 cross , cxamivation, she said that prisoner got the blind man down and knocked him about; he would not get off, and she fetched a broom and hit him till he did, Prisoner denied the charge, said he max first assaulted, and called a witness forward. Wm. Webb, whose story was unfavourable to the prisoner, said the prisoner was underneath, but could not account how the girl could have hit him with the broom if such were the case. Mr. Selfe said he was not only a coward, but a beast, and he should mark his sense of prisoner's conduct by sentencing him to six weeks' imprison ment, with hard labour, in the House of Correction. ME7ROPOLIIAN BOARD OF WORKS. The usual weekly meeting of the members of the Metropolitan Board of Works was held yesterday at the office, Spring-gardens ; Sir John Thvvaite3, the chairman, presiding. rINAISTII:. The cash statement of the Finance Committee was presented, and showed the following sums in the hands of the treasurer :—ln the London and Westminster Bank, £333,981 2s. 9d.; in the Bank of England, £117,150 7s. 10d.—total, £451,131 10s. 7d. ; checks ordered, but not presented, £20,172 10s. ld. ; mortgage debt, sinking fund, £36,175 Bs. 4d. ; Newt Three per Cent. Annuities. MR. DOULTON, M.P. AND THE BOARD. Mr. SMITII (solicitor to the Board) said he had written to the solicitorsin the bankruptcy pro ceedings relative to Mr. Furness, requesting them to furnish the Board with any additional informa tion or evidence which Mr. Furness, might have given on the occasion of his examination as to his transactions with Mr. Doulton, and not have been furnished to the Board. In reply to which he had received a letter from the parties stating that the whole of the evidence taken on the shorthand writer's notes had been furnished to the Board. This gave rise to a short discussion, in which it was urged that the shorthand writer took notes of everything which was said, whether evidence or not, and that such shorthand writer 13 hould be applied to for a copy of his notes ; that the evidence supplied to them was only the legal evi dence, and what they wanted wa3 the whole state ment ma le by Mr. Furness before the Registrar in Bankruptcy. The CHAIRMAN said lir. Furness would attend before the committee ou Tuesday next, and probably would then give all the information that was desired, as he did not see clearly how they would be able to get it by any other means. The subject then dropped. BRIDGES FOR STEAMBOAT LANDING-PLACES. The Works and General Purposes Committee submitted a plan of a bridge for the Westminster steamboat landing-place,, and recommended that the engineer should obtain tenders from certain firms for that and other similar bridges, to the number of about 12. The recommendation was agreed to, after the addition of some further names to the list of firms which were to be invited to tender. THE BARRIERS AND BARS IN THE METROPOLIS. The committee also recommended that a commu nication be addressed to the Secretary of State for the Home Department requesting him to receive a deputation from this board on the subject of the bars and barriers in the metropolis, with a view to the appointment of a Royal Commission for the purpose of inquiring into the evils arising from these obstructions, and as to any rights, or supposed rights, of any parties to maintain such bars, and as to providing a remedy in the matter of legislation. It having been moved that the recommendation be adopted, Air. SHAW moved as an amendment—" That the report be referred back to the committee to pre pare a written address, showing that the expense of cleansing, lighting, paving, and repairing these streets is borne by the ratepayers cf the metropolis, who have not the use of them, and that the rate payers are moreover taxed to open out other routes for traffic to reduce the nuisance caused by these bars and barriers ; also that ratepayers and shop keepers whose businesses are seriously injured and sometimes ruined by railway companies, receive no compensation, and houses and property of indivi duals are largely deteriorated in value by the proxi mity of railways, especially underground railways, and entitled, as the law now stands, to no remune ration ; that these bars and barriers tend to increase the number of street accidents, and are also nuisances which the inhabitants of some localities so protected would desire to get rid of." The amendment having been seconded, Mr. FREE3IAN complained of Mr. Shaw's proceed ing in bringing forward such an amendment, when, in fact, the recommendation of the committee was only made in deference to him. He thought that if the barriers were swept away in the manner pro posed by Mr. Shaw it would be such a confiscation of private property as the Board could never con template. The houses which were built within those barriers were built under certain conditions entitling the owners of such houses to have their streets free from ordinary traffic. Those conditions constituted rights which could only be done away with by giv ing compensation, which would amount to a sum it reould be impossible to pay. The amendment was negatived. After the transaction of some unimportant busi ness, the Board adjourned. A very large number of artificers and labourers employed in the Royal gunfactories at Woolwich have been discharged from the department, and others have been suspended, in consequence of the existing orders for the year having been completed. Many of those retained are employed intermediately three days in the week, or on half-time. A good deal of local distress is anticipated in consequence of the want of employ►pent. The two departments of the Royal Arsenal, namely, the Laboratory and carriage departments, aro working over hours, both having abundant orders on hand, the former in the supply of an enormous amount of the new Snider ammunition, of which they turn out 11 millions per week. A portion of the cartridge cases, to the amount of 150,000 per day, are provided by the contract firm of Ely, Brothers, Gray's-inn-road. The shell foundry of the same department is also engaged in casting the Palliser shot and shell in large quantities for India and the North American stations. The forges and other branches of the car riage square engaged in the manufacture of the new species of wrought-iron gun-carriages, slides, &c., aro in full operation night and day. oirtni HER MAJESTY. -- --- e ----- WINDSOR CASTLE, Nov. 22.
