The Battle of Mentana. (From the Correspondent of the Daily News.) FLORENCE, Nov. 5. The reason of the scanty news that reached this city for thirty-six hours after an event of absorLing interest which had occurred within 200 miles of it, and on a line of railway and of telegraph, is re vealed to-night. Gzneral Garibaldi had, after withdrawing his men and formally disbanding them, and while on his way to Caprera, been seized in the train by order of government. He was carried a prisoner to Spezzia, his friends were for bidden to accompany him, and a telegram in which Crispi, the leader of the extretn:: Lib.:rals in the Chamber, but who was now playing the most con stitutional part, informed his friends in Florence that Garibaldi had retired and was actually on his way home, was not allowed to be deliver° I till te❑ last night,eleven hours after it had been despatched, and by the time the offices of the Liberal papers, which appear only in the evening, were closed. These are not very noble weapons for a national Government to fight with. Florence has been full to-day of returning Gari baldini, from whom, as well as from some who were employed on the staff, I had obtained a good deal of the details. But the Riforma of this evening publishes an interim official report, signed by General Fabrizi (chief of the staff), by Colonels Missori, Menotti Garibaldi, and Guerzoni, and by Alberto Mario ; and as this will be the his torical narrative I cannot do better than give it textually. There needs only to be premised, on the authority of Signor Crispi, that the movement of concentration on Tivoli was made with the design, not of attacking, but of withdrawing the volunteer force preparatory to its dissolution, in vier of the complications caused by the intervention of the national troops and to avoid the possibility of any collision with them. "On the 3d of November, at half-past twelve noon, the body of volunteers which occupied Monte Rotondo was put in motion by the Men tams road in the direction of Tivoli, where all the other corps occupying the Pontifical territory were directed to concentrate. General Garibaldi had provided for the possibility of encountering the enemy on the march, and had directed, in an order of the day, all the arrangements suggested by military art to guard against an unexpected attack. The advanced guard was composed of the Ist bat talion of Bersaglieri, which was ordered to throw out strong flanking parties on our right, which was the side exposed to the enemy. We were in all about 5,000 men, with the two pieces of artillery taken at Monte Rotondo. The advanced guard had passed Mentana (this seems about two miles from Monte Rotondo) when word was passed back that the Pontifical troops had already attacked the head of the column at the extreme point of the advanced guard. On seeing the enemy the general made the following dispositions : "The 2d battalion of volunteers and the 2d and 3d Bersaglieri, together with the Carabiniers of Leghorn, were extended along the heights which rise about half a mile from Mentana, and were received with a very sharp fire of foreign Chasseurs and Zouaves. " But the positions in front of Mentena not being found suitable for defence, and a movement in force towards the left being developed by the enemy with the evident intention of cutting off our line of retreat, our line] was withdrawn into Mentana, occupying the houses and the castle, while the rest of the Garibaldian troops were eche loned on the left and behind the village. Then two columns of Chasseurs and Zouaves attacked in front and on the left, as had been foreseen, and succeeded for a few minutes in penetrating as far as the first houses. The position was critical, Mentana and the retreat were threatened. General Garibaldi ordered the whole line to charge with the bayonet ; it was brilliantly executed, and Men tana was recovered. The general himself directed from a height the fire of our guns. The day seemed won, and the enemy was at every instant losing ground, when a new and dense hostile line ap peared on the field. They were the fresh battalions of the Antibes legion, who, reinforcing the wavering battalions of the first line, attacked our left with new vigour. Their arms of precision and artillery caused heavy loss to our men, who disputed the ground foot by foot. But victory seemed now hopeless. We were crushed with numbers, and paralysed by the want of ammunition for our guns, which had exhausted their seventy rounds. It was necessary to save the line of retreat, and to hold the enemy in check, preventing him from descend ing on the road that leads from Mentana to Monte Rotondo. This object was successfully attained, and the retreat on Monte Rotondo was effected. GARIBALDI'S ARREST. A number of friends and companions of Garibaldi, including the Deputies Crispi and Guerzoni, have drawn up a solemn protest against the arrest of the General at Figline. The document is as follows : " The undersigned friends and comrades of Gen. Garibaldi, witnesses to his arrest at Figline, make this declaration. " At Passo Corese, after having taken part in the dissolution of the corps of volunteers fighting upon Pontifical territory, the undersigned were authorised by Gen. Garibaldi to travel by the special train that had been granted him upon the express condition that he should be conducted in perfect liberty to Flo rence. During the journey no act, either upon the part of the General or of those by whom he was accompanied, could give any pre text to change the arrangements made for sending on the train to Florence. As a proof of the pacific intentions of General Garibaldi, Deputy Crispi telegraphed at Narni station to the itubat tino Company, asking in the General's name for a steamer which should carry him from Leghorn direct to Caprera. "At Figline the train was stopped and Lieut.- Colonel Camazzi, of the Carabineers, approached General Garibaldi, asking to speak to him alone. The station was militarily occupied by a division of Bersaglieri, under the orders of Major Fiastri, and by a strong detachment of Carabineers. A few minutes afterwards the General left the carriage, and we all left with him. We then heard General Garibaldi say in a loud voice to Colonel Camazzi, Have you the regular warrant of arrest?' " The Colonel replied, No, lam simply ordered to make the arrest.' " The General answered, ' Then you commit an illegal act. lam not guilty of any hostility against the Italian State or against its laws. I am an Italian Deputy, a Roman General elected by a legally constituted Government, and an American citizen. As such, and not having been taken in any flagrant offence, I cannot be arrested, and you and those who send you violate the law. But I de clare that I will not yield except to violence, and that if you wish to arrest me you will have to carry me by force.' " At this moment we were all ready to defend the General's person, the law, and good right. The General declared that he would not permit the vio knee employed towards him to be met by further violence, and that he would never be a party to a conflict with Italian soldiers. Therefore,' he con tinued abandon all idea of resisting in arms. If I bad wished to resist by arms I should have begun by making Use of those that were at my disposal, in place of giving them up at the frontier.' We obeyed. " As many spectators had gathered round, in order to avoid any collision, and to put an end to a sight so humiliating to the country, Deputy Crispi telegraphed twice to the President of the Council of Ministers, demanding in the name of Italy a reversal of the order, and affirming that the General only wished to return to his home at .Caprera. We asked Colonel Camazzi to afford the delay necessary to receive an answer from Florence, and we also begged him to telegraph himself sup porting our request. Colonel Camazzi, however, positively refused to accede to this latter request. 6' About an hour having passed without any telegraphic reply received from Florence, the colonel of the Carabineers declared that the time had come to carry out his orders. Notwith standing the statement, seve ra l t i mes repeated, of General Garibaldi, that he was fatigued, ill, ex hausted by several days' privation, and that he could not endure the serious trial of a fresh journey, the colonel remained inexorable. Four Carabineers approached the General, and the non-commissioned officer by whom they were commanded invited him in the name of his superiors to follow. The General, persisting in his first determination, was lifted by up the Carabineers, carried from the spot where he was seated in the waiting room, and thus transported, amidst the most solemn silence of his friends, to the carriage destined for him. " Deputy Crispi, in the name of all present, ener getically protested against this violation of the law, and the insult thus offered to the greatest citizen of Italy. " The General's family and servants had received permission to accompany him ; but his son-in-law, Canzie, was the only one who remained with him. Col. Caniazzi was seated in the same compartment, and several carriages filled with Bersaglicri and Carabineers preceded and followed that in which the General was confined. Garibaldi left for a destination unknown to us, and this is not the place to say by what feelings we were animated. " We attest the above as the exact and historical truth of what took place." (Twenty-nine signatures follow.) M USI CA L EN TERE /NJ/ EN7 S. Her Majesty's Theatre reopened last week for a short season, and one that is most welcome at a time when there is absolutely nothing going on in the musical world. The Covent Garden Concerts are over—Strauss and his exquisite dance music have passed away—the Monday Popular Concerts have not yet begun—so that we are very grateful for the chance of hearing once more Signor Arditi's splendid orchestra, and the queenlike voice of Mdlle Titiens. A new singer, Mdlle Kellog, the Ameri can prima donna, appeared last Saturday in the character of Marguerite in Gounod's "Faust." She created a decided impression in her favour, and notwithstanding a little nervousness, gave unmis takeable indications of being a true artist. Another interesting feature in these performances is that Mdlle Clara Doria (the daughter of Mr. John Barnett, the composer) is to make her delut in the course of the present season. On the first night the house was full to overflowing to hear Mdlle. Titiens, and among the audience were the Prince of Wales, Prince and Princess Christian, and Prince and Princess Edward of Saxe-Weimar. Mr. Arthur Chappell has issued the prospectus of the tenth season of the Monday Popular Con certs. There will be sixteen Monday evening per formances, and in addition, seven concerts to be given on Saturday mornings. Madame Arabella Goddard is announced to appear on Monday even ings, Nov. 11, 18, and Dec. 2 ; and Mr. Charles Halle on Mondays, Nov. 25, and Dec. 9 and 16. Herr Wilhelmj is engaged as principal violinist for the season before Christmas. Signor Piatti will hold the post of principal violoncellist during the entire season. Madame Schumann is engaged for January and February. Herr Joachim will make his first appearance on Feb. 17, and will remain till Easter, and Herr Strauss and Paner will also appear in January, Mr. Benedict, as here tofore, the conductor. These concerts, the most refined and elegant that have ever been given in this country, promise to be more than ever suc cessful. The Crystal Palace Concerts have once more become very fascinating. The interminable Opera Concerts during the summer season may have been effective in drawing in huge crowds the fashionable world, on whom good music is ever thrown away, who bow down before Patti and are moved to ears by a waltz of Messrs. Godfrey and Coote. With the exception of one short overture, the dash ing orchestra of Mr. Manns literally did nothing. Now we have returned to better things, and we heartily greet such concerts as that which on Satur day was distinguished by the performance of Men delssohn's " Walpurgis Night," one of the finest, as regards the orchestra and chorus, that has been heard in England. This was followed by a brilliant performance of Mendelssohn's Concerto in G minor, by Madame Arabella Goddard. The programme, moreover, included Mozart's overture to " Figaro," the aria " Non pin Andrai," sung by Mr. Lewis Thomas ; " Batti, batti," from " Don Giovanni," murdered by Miss Edith Wynne, and "Be thou faithful," sung very indifferently by Mr. Wilbye Cooper. The concert concluded with Beethoven's sublime overture " Leonora." RUSSIA AND THE UNITED STATES. The following is the full and official text of the Convention concluded with the United States of North America for the cession of the Russian colo nies of America (promulgated by an ukase of the Directing Senate of the 18th October ultimo, and inserted in the Bulletin of Laws) : "By the grace of God, we, Alexander 11., Emperor and Autocrat of All the Russias, of Mos cow, Kiew, Vladimir, Novgorod, Czar of Cazan, Czar of Astrakan, Czar of Poland, Cz tr of Siberia, Czar of the Tauric Chersonese, Czar of Georgia ; Lord of Pleskow, and Grand Duke of Smolensk, Lithuania, Volhynia, Podolia, and Finland ; Duke of Esthonia, Livonia, Courland, and Semigalle, Samogitia, Bialostock, Carelia, Twer, lugoria, Perm, Viatka, Bulgaria, &c. ; Lord and Grand Duke of Lower Novgorod, Tchernigow, Riazan, Polotsk, Rostow, Yaroslow, Beloosersk, Oudor, Obdor, Condia, Vitebsk, and Mstislaw ; Ruler of all the Northern country ; Lord of Iberia, Carta linia, Cabardia, and the province of Armenia ; Hereditary Prince and Sovereign of the Princes of Circassia and other Alontagnard Princes ; Suc cessor of Norway, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein Stor man, Ditmarsen, and Oldenburg, &c. ; make known by these presents that in consequence of a common agreement between us and the Government of the United States of North America, our Plenipoten tiaries have concluded and signed, at Washington, on the 18th and 30th April, 1867, a treaty for the cession of our colonies in North America, the tenour of which treaty is as follows: " His Majesty the Emperor of All the Russias and the United States of America, desiring to strengthen, if possible, the good understanding ex isting between them, have appointed for that pur pose as their Plenipotentiaries, viz., his Majesty the Emperor of All the Russias, the Privy Councillor Edward de Stoeckl, his Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary in the United States; and the Presielent of the United States, William H. Seward, Esq., Secretary of State, who, after having exchanged their full powers, found in good and due form, have drawn up and signed the following articles : " Article I.—His Majesty the Emperor of All the Russias binds himself, by this convention, to cede to the United States, immediately after the ex change of the ratifications, all the territory with the right of sovereignty at present possessed by his Majesty on the continent of America as well as the contiguous islands, the said territory being com prised within the geographical limits indicated be low, viz.—the Eastern limit is the line of demarca tion between the Russian and British possessions in North America, as established by the convention concluded between Russia and Great Britain on the 16th to 28th February, 1825, and defined in the following terms of the Articles 111. and IV. of the said convention : " Starting from the southernmost point of Prince of Wales Island, which point is under the parallel of 40 deg. 40 min. north latitude, and between 131 and 133 deg. west longitude (meridian of Green wich), the said line will continue northwards along , Portland Channel, to that point of terra firma in dicated by the 56th degree of north latitude; from this latter point the line of demarcation will follow the crest of the mountains situated parallel to the coast as far as the point of intersection of the 141st degree of west longitude (same meridian); and finally, from the said point of intersection, the same meridian line of the 141st degree, will form, in its prolongation to the Frozen Sea, the limit be tween the Russian and British possessions on the Continent of North-Western America.

"The western limit of the territories ceded passes from the point 4)f Behring's Straits under the paral lel of 65 deg. 30 min. north latitude to its intersec tion by the meridian, which separates at equal dis tances the islands of Krusentern or Ignalook and the Islsnd of Ratmanoff or Noonarbook, and con tinues in a straight line, without limitation, towards the north until lost in the Frozen Sea. Commenc ing at the samepoint of departure, this western limit follows thence a nearly south-western course, across Behring's Straits and Behring's Sea, in such man ner as to pass at equal distances between the north west point of St. Laurent and the south-east point of Cape Choukotski as far as the meridian of the 172 d degree of west longitude ; from this point, starting from the intersection of that meridian, this limit follows a south-east direction in such manner as to pass at equal distances between the Island of Alton and Copper Island in the group of Koman dorski Islets in the North Pacific Ocean as far as the meridian of 193 degrees of west longitude, and to include in the ceded territory all the Aleoute Isles situated to the east of that meridian.

LETTER FROM MONSIGNOR STONOR. The following letter to a private friend has been placed at our (Westminster Gazette) disposal :-- __ _ _ _ _ Rome, Oct. 20th, 1867. I write for the purpose of giving you an account of a most unjustifiable arrest to which I and an English lady, Mrs. S., were subjected last Friday by the Italian authorities at Correse, the frontier station between the Roman and Italian territories. Having heard last week that several wounded Zouaves, and among them a young Englishwoman, were in the Italian camp at Nerola, and that they were destitute of all spiritual and of almost all temporal aid, we determined to do what we could to assist them. We started, therefore, for Nerola on Thursday evening, passed Correse without being stopped, and reached our destination at four o'clock in the morning. At the entrance to the town we found a strong barricade thrown up, and guarded by a detachment of Garibaldians. I immediately sent for the officer in command, gave him our passports, and explained why we had come. He instantly ordered us to pass, and thanked us very much for having come, as he said the wounded were in want of everything. About five o'clock, the captain of the garrison came to see us, and nothing could exceed his kindness and civility. I told him that we came to look after our wounded, and that we should be happy also to render his any assistance in our power. He appointed a sur geon to remain with us, and himself took us round to the different houses where the wounded were lying. Owing to the assistance afforded us by the Garibaldian soldiers, we were able to collect all the wounded together, and placed them in a small church at the entrance to the town. We had brought linen, tea, and other necessaries with us ; so that in a short time we got everything into order. About ten o'clock, the Pontifical troops attacked the town, and after a fight of two hour' duration, the white flag was hung out of the fort, and the garrison surrendered. As some chaplains and surgeons had arrived with the Pontifical army, I left them in the hospital, and went up to the fort with one of the surgeons to attend to the dying and wounded among the Garibaldians. About four o'clock in the afternoon, Colonel Charette requested me to return to Rome, and to take the wounded Pontifical officers with me—one belong ing to the Antibes Legion, and the other to the Gendarmeria. Mrs. S. likewise came with us, as well as a soldier who was servant to the French officer, and a Belgian Zouave, who acts as a post master to his regiment. As soon as we arrived at Correse we found a very strong detachment of the 50th regiment of the Italian line. They stopped the carriage, and the officer in command informed us that we were all arrested. I explained who we were, and what we were doing, and produced our passports in order to convince him that Mrs. S. and myself were British subjects. He refused, however, to listen to me, and said he would tele graph to Terni for instructions. Mrs. S. and the two soldiers were taken to the station, but I was allowed to remain in the carriage with the wounded officers. After waiting for nearly two hours, an answer was returned from Terni, that the wounded officers might proceed to Rome, but that we were to remain under arrest. I protested against being arrested, and also against the inhumanity of sending two wounded officers alone, without any assistance, to Rome. Although we had given up all our papers, and the officers and soldiers their arms, as soon as the carriage was stopped, yet the officer in com mand had it searched before leaving Correse, and actually took away from the wounded officers their watches, money, and likewise a ring that one of them had on his finger. We passed the night at the station under a very strong guard, and in the morning were informed that Mrs. S. might go on to Rome, but that I and the two soldiers were to be sent under escort to Rieti. I told the officer that I should appeal to the English Minister in Florence. Mrs. S. likewise declared that she would not return to Rome alone, but would go to Rieti with us. After a good deal of altercation we were set at liberty, having signed a statement that was drawn up by the officer in command. All our let ters, papers, and arms were restored to us, but the money, watches, and rings were retained. The French Embassy have taken up the matter very seriously on behalf of the officer of the Antibes Legion, and Colonel d'Argy has written to the French Minister of War, giving him an account of the proceeding. I have likewise written to the British Minister at Florence, requesting him to do what he may consider necessary for the protection of British subjects, especially engaged in such a work of humanity as ours.—l remain, yours faith fully, EDMUND STONOR. her Majesty's ship Wivern had burst at the breach during shot practice a few days since. The solid forging which forms the breech of these large coil built guns is said to have been blown completely away from the tube. The most extraordinary part of the rumour is that 15 men were inside the turret at the time of the accident, yet not one of them, beyond a few insignificant bruises, sustained any injury. The Dockyard Craft Committee arrived at Ports. mouth dockyard yesterday, and commenced taking evidence on matters connected with the subject of their inquiry. THE KNAPSACK. Dr. Massey, Deputy Inspector-General of Hos pitals, and head of the sanitary branch of the Army Medical Department, reports that the recommenda tions for carrying the knapsack and accoutrements, contained in the second report of the committee ap pointed to inquire into the effect of the present system of accoutrements and knapsacks on the health of the infantry soldier, are likely to lead to changes of an important character influencing the health, comfort, and efficiency of the British soldier. The plans which were recommenced are now undergoing a careful trial, and there is every reason to hope that a serviceable, easy, and, as far as health is con cerned, an unobjectionable mode of carrying the field kit, great coat, canteen, and ammunition has been de vised. The Bohemian and Italian campaigns of 1866 proved, beyond dispute, that the conditions of modern warfare demanded that the marching powers and endurance of the soldier should not he lessened by unnecessary weight or by a defective mode of carrying the weight. The rapidity of fire under the breech-loading system necessitates an increased supply of ammunition, but this is in opposition to any diminution of the weight to be carried by the soldier. As the committee have deter mined that the soldier must carry a war kit, they propose that it shall consist of one flannel shirt, one pair of socks, one towel, one pair of boots or shoes, one hold-all„ with comb, razor, soap, and brush, one soft forage cap without any stiffening or tuft, one brush, and one clasp knife in pocket. The present field kit includes the above, and trousers and blacking besides. With regard to ammunition, while the committee think that on ordinary occasions during war only 60 rounds should be culled, yet pro vision should be made for carrying 90 rounds on an emergency. The weight that the soldier must carry, irrespective of the apparatus itself or of the rifle, havre sack for provisions, water bottle, and blanket, will be from about 201 b. to 231 b. —viz., kit, 61b. to 71b. ; great coat, nearly 601 b ; 90 rounds of ammunition, 91b to 101 b.; canteen, 1 Vb.; bayonet, 11b. On ordinary occasions the weight would be considerably less. The weight of the apparatus for carrying the above has been reduced to about 41b. 3oz. instead of 101 b. 20z., which is the weight of the regulation pack and ac coutrements. The committee are convinced that the best system for carrying the greater part of the bur -1 den is the yoke principle, by which the weight is brought fairly on to the shoulder blades, directly over the centre of gravity. The yoke is made of leather instead of metal. Instead of concentrating the weight of the ammunition in a single pouch the committee recommend several pouches, one or more of which can be left off according to the amount required. A large portion of the ammunition, moreover, is placed in front, not only to distribute its weight, but be cause the breech loading system necessitates front pouches to insure rapidity of firing. The proposed pouches, two in number, long and narrow, and made of soft leather, are to take the curve of the body. They are carried, not by the waistbelt, but by the yoke, so that the weight is borne on the shoulders instead of by • the ribs and stomach. The ease with which 60 rounds are carried in this way is said to be remarkable. During peace the Committee propose that only one pouch should be issued . . When on active service a second pouch—a supply of which would be in store—could be issued ; and, as no other addition is necessary, a few minutes would see a regiment supplied with its war equipment. In addition to these pouches, containing 30 rounds each in packets of 10, a small bag, to contain 10 loose rounds, is proposed by General Hay to be worn on the right side, and in addition two small pouches, each to contain 10 rounds, are placed on the bag which car ries the kit. Thus, the ammunition that can be carried by the soldier in war is, 60 rounds in two front pouches, 20 rounds in kit bag pockets, and 10 in expense bag. With reference to the question of carrying the kit, the Committee point out the ob jections to the framed knapsack, and the more the point was considered the more convincing was the fact that the true plan was to place the kit low down, so as leave the freest action to the muscles moving the neck, shoulders, and shoulder-blades. The Committee finally adopted a bag which holds easily the proposed kit, and will on emergency hold the full field kit. The plan, so far as the yoke is concerned, is identical in principle—though largely altered in detail—with the valise proposed some years ago by Sir Thomas Troubridge. The weight of the bag is distributed in three directions. Its chief weight is brought on the yoke, but it rests in part on the sacrum, a strong connecting bone of the hips, and at pleasure it may almost be carried there to relieve any pressure of the yoke. It is also strapped to the waistbelt in front. Surplus articles may be carried in equal bags as at present. The greatcoat is to be folded on the back and attached to the yoke by a strap, which will also carry the canteen. It may be stated that one of the advantages of the proposed system is that, when the front pouches are full of ammunition, the principle of balance is so brought into play that a considerable increase of weight can be carried behind. The Committee have not yet determined on the form of or the best means to carry the havresack and water-bottle ; the materials proposed to be used are good black bridle leather for the yoke ; ; for the pouch, good soft bridle leather ; and for the bag, enamelled leather. Six hunired negroes have engaged passages in the American Colonisation Society's ship Golconda, to sail from Charleston, South Carolina, fir Monrovia on the 11th of November. All that is required to complete the Union. Pacific Railway is the loan of the Government credit (not the gift of the Government money) to an amount the interest on which is now required to support two and a half regiments of cavalry on the plains. The building of the road will dispense with the troops. Could there be any better public economy than to return 2,500 soldiers to productive labour in civil life, and lend on perfect security the principal of the sum of which their pay and maintenance is the interest, to be used in settling the rich Plains with farmers and stock-raisers, and developing the wealth of New Mexico, Southern Colorado, Northern Texas, Arizona,and Southern California ? All this the Pacific Railway (Kansas branch) when completed, and as it progresses, will surely accom plish, besides effectually and permanently settling. the Indian question.—New York Weekly Tribune. 1 ADVERTISEMENT.] Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— The circulation of the blood becomes languid towards winter: hence the frequect appearance at this time of pimples, blotches, &c.

The following circular, signed by Major-Gen. Lcrd William Paulet, K.C.8., Adjutant-General, setting forth the advantages to young men to join the army, has been promulgated at Chatham garri son : " 1. A soldier, from his first joining the army, re ceives, besides his lodgings, food, and clothing, a weekly sum, quite at his own disposal, of 2s 6d., or more. " 2. After three years' service, if his conduct be good, he further increases that sum by 7d. a week, and again in every successive five years. "3. If the soldier should qualify himself, he will be before long promoted, and thereby receive further remuneration. " 4. When sick he has good medical advice, with every comfort. " 5. After 12 years he can leave the service. " 6. After the first eight years' service, should he feel inclined, he may give notice of his wish to remain 21 years as a soldier, and if permitted by his commanding officer to enter into such further engagement he will from that date receive an addi tional penny a day. " 7. After the soldier has completed 21 years' service he is discharged with a pension for life. " 8. During the time of his service he has the ad vantage of school instruction, reading and recrea tion rooms, and out-door games. " 9. The usual periods of service abroad are so arranged that the soldier has an intermediate period of home service, and these changes enable him to see something of the world, and give him an interest in his profession. " 10. In short, the soldier has the advantage, if he conducts himself well, of being well cared for, suffi ciently paid, and at the end of his time provided with a subsistence, besides receiving a distinguishing medal, showing his Sovereign's approb a ti on o f hi s well and faithfully to his having done his duty country. " No labouring man, and very few workmen, can feel sure of greater advantages than these held out to the good soldier, especially as regards the three important and clothing."

Sands. It will be remembered that the regiment was on its voyage to India in 1857 to take part in the suppression of the mutiny, when the vessel, which had 90 barrels of powder in the:magazine, caught fire, and gallantly for 18 hours, at the imminent hazard of their lives, the men of the 54th battled with the flames, and ultimatelysaved the ship, which was conducted to the Mauritius. The incident natu rally excited an abiding interest in the regiment, and among its records the burning of the Sarah Sands will long form a brilliant and interesting chapter. The officers, non-commissioned officers, and men of the 68th Light Infantry, stationed at Aldershot, have presented a handsome tea service to a private named Wenman, who has completed the full period of 21 years in the army with great credit, and who took part in the Crimean war and some of the most trying qu iri es campaigns in India and New Zeal an d. Inquiries made by our representative at Alder shot yesterday leads to the belief that no real attack was premeditated on the Camp Magazine, as was rumoured a few days ago. The whole affair seems to have been a hoax. Her Majesty's screw troopship Simoom, Capt. T. B. Lethbridge, went into Portsmouth harbour from Spithead yesterday and berthed alongside the dock yard. Early this morning the 40th Regiment, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Blyth, will dis embark from the Simoom and proceed to Aldershot by special train over the main line of the London and South-Western Railway Company via Farn borough. The armour-plated screw gun vessel Viper, 2, 160-horse power, Commander Crozier, has been re moved from the steam basin of Portsmouth dock yard at the close of her refit and placed at harbour sailing moorings. She is expected to sail from Ports mouth for Kingstown, Ireland, about Thursday or Friday next. Her Majesty's paddle yacht Elfin, Staff Com mander Balliston, left Portsmouth harbour yester day under steam, on a trial of her machinery after repairs. The results were not perfectly satisfac• tory. The Plover, double-screw gun vossel, 4, HO horse power, Commander Poland, under orders for the West Coast of Africa, is having her defects made good alongside Portsmouth dockyard, prepa• ratory to sailing. The hydraulic-propelled gun vessel Waterwitch, 4, 160-horse power, Commander P. Sharpe, has commenced the repairs and alterations ordered to be made on her in Portsmouth dockyard. The work includes the construction of a hurricane deck connecting the forecastle and poop decks, hatch ways leading up from the lower deck on to the hurricane deck, covering the present iron deck plating of the forecastle and poop with wood plank ing, removing the coal bunkers further aft, and other work. A rumour was current at Portsmouth yesterday, owing its existence, it was understood, to the con tents of a private letter received from Holyhead, that one of the 12k ton guns in one of the turrets of NEEDED RAILROAD REFORMS. (From the Round Table.) A bit of experience which befell us the other day was so illustrative of certain features of railway travel that we may claim pardon for whatever of egotism there shall be in its narration. The writer had undertaken to convey a child upon a journey long enough to be wearisome, and which lay over several lines of travel. For its preliminary stage the train bad to be entered at a way-station, when of course a full seat was not to be had, and the little one was of necessity compelled to endure what scant comfort was attainable until we reached a city which was to be crossed preparatory to taking one of the main lines of travel. Arrived at its depot a ticket was refused us on the score that the next was a " through train," and that, although the ad vertisements made no such exception, although the train received and discharged passengers at the place of our temporary destination, although tickets to it were Issued at the initial terminus and from the present station to points beyond it, it was not permitted us, as we were informed with all the hauteur characteristic of railway and hotel clerks, to do otherwise than await the arrival of a following way train. That is, in the route A B C D, on a train stopping at A, B, C, and D, and on which tickets are sold from A to C and from B to D, we, being at B, could not go to C ; while even our de mand for the ordinarily accorded ticket to D was ineffectual, because of the disclosure of an intention to stop at C. The horrid prospect of amusing a tired child for several hours in a crowded depot was sufficiently unendurable to stimulate us to other expedients, and, finding an official of the road, we gained from him an order for the ticket, to the uncon cealed chagrin of the evil genius of the ticket office. On the train, however, the old spectacle presented it self—scores of people each comfortable in the seclu sion of a full scat, but no whole seat unoccupied, no two empty half seats in fair proximity, and no apparent escape from riding several hours with a child on one's knee. Once more we found refuge —this time by the interposition of the "gentlemanly condue tor,",who fortunately is by no means the e x t reme rarity and conventional figment of reporters' imagi nations that he is popularly supposed—and were led to one of those recesses which exist unsuspected in many railway trains. Here we were given a corn, partment equal in size to a quarter or third of a car without stationary seats, which we had the power of locking against intruders, and which, with arm chair, book, and cigar, a sofa for our little charge, ample room, and perfect seclusion, the remainder of the railway journey was scarcely less comfortable than the length of time passed in one's library. Without doubt there are every day travellers who would be glad to pay for such conveniences as on this occasion we were fortunate enough to secure, at rates which would make it worth the while of the railroad companies to afford them. No less certainly there daily are thousands who encounter without escape just such annoyances as we managed to elude. For reform in this respect our hope, we imagine, is from the commercial enterprise of companies such as those which maintain sleeping-ears on the long routes, rather than from any favour at the hands of the companies which, even in the cases where the con ciliation of the public becomes a matter of import ance, endeavour to accomplish it rather by providing useless splendour than substantial vomfort. An undertaking of this sort would find abundant re muneration from the general disgust for a system which forces together en masse all sorts and condi tions of men—sensitive people keenly alive to what goes on about them, filthy and revolting people, nervous people who cannot endure turmoil, robust people who require open windows and abundant air, delicate people to whom a draught is little less than fatal. A refuge from such annoyances would be well paid for, and such refuge it would be easy to provide. The necessary equipment would be simple—cars without the fixtures and costly uphol stery generally in vogue, but divided into compart ments of various size and furnished with chairs or other seats, freed by their structure from the cur rents of cold air and the nuisance of pedlars and others who move about the long aisle_ In these one could order, by telegraph if need be, any num ber of seats he might Bee fit to pay for; enter at a wayside station with the certainty of find ing them; leave them when the train stopped without a prospect of disputing possession with squatters on one's return ; preserve a party from being divided or intruded upon—in a word, secure those details of comfort, health, and decency which every traveller now forfeits, and to obtain which travellers enough would pay largely to yield good returns upon the investment. The system once inaugurated, its general extension in some degree could not long be retarded. Against another, and most important, class of travelling evils remedy can only be afforded by legislation such as Congress, under its authority over inter-state commerce, has the power to make. It has long been evident that from no other quar ter can come adequate provision against the " ac cidents," detentions, and varied forms of injury, failure to fulfil contracts, and illegal exactions, for which it is practically impossible to find in the courts redress against these corporations. The category of needed Congressional enactments is a long one,—penalties for recklessness and neglect, for the worn-out roads, bridges, and rolling stock, neglected repairs, insufficiency of the employ6s necessary to safety ; for such detentions as those of last winter, which a few ice-boats and snow-ploughs would have prevented ; for that general disregard of the time-table which on many roads is the general rule ; provisions against the dangers of a single line of rail ; of crossing roads and streets on the same level ; of leaving the track open to the incursions of cattle ; decisions whether passengers may be denied the service they have bought on the plea that tickets are " good for this day and train only ;" whether, on the score that " all baggage is at the risk of the owner," servants have immunity to smash and mutilate it at their own sweet will ; whether the purchase of a seat really con veys a right to the possession of one. By strictness on such of these points as conduce to safety, not only would there be an immense saving in life and limb, but it would be possible without danger to obtain a degree of speed not absolutely contemptible.* It is not only became of the size of the country and the consequent great amount of travelling and transportation to be done that the facilitation of them becomes important. There is a class of people already large and rapidly increasing who are forced to spend a part of each secular day in the railway cars. Whether from motives of economy, or a desire to have their children grow up out of cities, or because it is refreshing when the day's work is done to get away from the din and dirt and brick walls among mountains and pure air or beside the water, a large part of the business population of most of our large cities have suburban homes whether they go daily by rail.

In a matter of this daily recurrence, and upon whose satisfactory management the substantial comfort of thousands of citizens largely depends, legislation ought to insure them the rights which corporations lack the sagacity to see that it would be for their own interest to protect of their own accord. Through New York State one judicious step has just been made toward the substitution of order for chaos by uniforming the employels—a inea3ure which must conduce to the promotion of discipline and vigilance. Very much more important results, we hope, will be effected by the movement for railway reform which made its first demonstration in the meeting last week at the Cooper Institute under the auspices of the Associa tion for the Advancement of Science and Art. At this meeting was very strongly asserted the neces sity of Government intervention in the matter, and of the perfection of bills now pending in Congress for the facilitation of inter-state commerce. The gentlemen to whose care it was entrusted will give it, we trust, the thorough exposition it needs, and so exhibit the national importance of a reform that Congress shall be forced into some practical action in lieu of the unprofitable talk about it wherewith they have rested content during so many sessions.
