HOW TO OBTAIN A COMMISSION. (Prom the Daily News of this day.) Lord Methuen, the lieutenant-colonel of the Royal Wilts Militia, has done good service in the cause of Army Reform. It appears that on the Bth inst., one Mr. William Walker, who dates his letter from 2, St. James's-square, wrote as follows to the adjutant of the regiment which his lordship commands:- 2, St. James's-square, March 7, 1855.. Sir,—l beg to ask if you have any vacaat ensignoies in the Wiltshire Regiment, and can introduce a very gen . de manly young man, aged 23 years, who wishes an appoint anent—rery I am, sir, your very obedient servant, WILLIAM WALKER. Now, se far as this letter goes, there can be no harm in Mr. William Walker making the application he did. As a matter of course, every colonel of a militia or other regiment is only too happy to in the many " very gan tlernanly" young men as possible the corps he com mands; and therefore the offer to supply Lord Methuen with a youth of this description to fill the situation of an ensign must be regarded as friendly in the extreme on the pert of Mr. Walker. Unfortunately, however, the above communication was but the crust of the pie ; and within the note was the following enclosure : (Enclosure.) I can place 401. to your credit in this Instance. W. W. As a general rule, adjutants either of militia or regu lar regiments are not rich men. Whether Lord Methuen's adjutant has a large balance at the banker's we know not ; but, unluckily for Mr. Walker, and for the " very gentlemanly" young man, he appears to be an officer who is by no means inclined to " make things pleasant" with persons of his correspondent's stamp. As a soldier and a gentleman ought to do on such an occa sion, he very properly laid the letter he had received, together with its precious enclosure, before his com manding officer, and the latter as properly published the whole affair in the columns of a morning contemporary. His lordship's note is as follows : Sir,—ln the hope that you will expose the jobbery which appears by the enclosed to be going on in the militia ser vice, I send you a letter and slip of paper received by my adjutant this morning. I lan, sir, your obedient servant, METHUEN, Lieutenant-Colonel, Portsmouth, March 8. Royal Wilts Militia. So far so good. Lord Methuen has, as we said before, done good service in exposing this little bit of jobbery, and is entitled to the thanks of the community, with per haps the exception of the William Walkers, who, no doubt, will lose many nice little jobs by the publicity given to the foregoing proposition. Ner do we imagine the <<o^• - v gentlemanly" and "very eligible" young men who " wish for appointments," and can afford to place 401. "to the credit" of Militia Adjutants when an appointment is wanted, will hear Lis lordehip much good will for the manner in which he has shown up the kin I offer made by Mr. Walker to his adjutant. But whilht we join in exposing "jobbery" in the mi litia, should we not endeavour to lay bare the equal—if not greater--jobbery going on in the regular army ? Putting aside the question of purcha , e and sale of com missions, every one connected with the service knows perfectly well that not an exchange or promotion takes place without large sums of money over and above " regulation" being given between the parties. The rich mean in the British service has no need of serving a day in a bad climate, or enduring for a single month the bore of doing duty iu a dull colonial garrison. At his first start as a soldier, should he unfortunately for himself be gazetted to a cerps in the East or West Indies, he ha merely to wait a few months, then to pay a round sum to some poorer man who belongs to a corps in some more favoured climate and the Horse Guards are at once ready to "make thingspleasant." Nay, more, the wealthy officer has not even the trouble of looking outfor theexchareee he wants among the different regiments of the service. Every moss in the army receives once a week a circular from certain agents of the 'William Walker class, which contains a list of the exchanges that are open in the military market. In this circular, the actual prices are not named ; the circular is a public one, and even at " 2, St. .Tapnes's-square," a certain degree of delicacy is observed ; but the officer who wants a certain exchange has merely to write to the so-called agent in order to know the price ho must pay or will receive, as the case *ay be. Is this " jobbery," or is it not ? What -difference is there between the system we have endeavoured to ex pose and the manner in which men of business buy, sell, and exchange Bank or other shares ? To say that these military exchanges are only matters of private arrange raent between officers is the worst kind of falsehood—it is a suppression of the truth. From first to last, the whole system is perfectly well known at the Horse Guards, and has been so for the last twenty-five years. The near relatives of Commanders-in-Chief, and of other " dons" in the army, have profited, perhaps more than any other class, by the manner in which matters are " made pleasant " in the service. It is true that a cer tain troublesome Act of Parliament, the 49th George 111., cap. 126, sec. 7, lays down the law that any or e who gives more than the regulated difference, even in the exchange of commissions, is guilty of a misdemeanour. But acts of Parliament are framed only for weak-minded men to believe in. If they were observed, how would the William Walkers of civil life gain their living v or how would " very gentlemanly" young men, with plenty of money in their purses, be able to exchange from regi ments in India to regiments at home—from infantry to cavalry—from lights to heavies—from dragoons to the guards . . . . There are other committees of inquiry respecting the state of the army wanted besides the one now sitting in the House of Commons. For many years past we have allowed matters to be "made pleasant" in the service ; and in the mismanagement of the present war:we arc reaping the fruits of our folly. Day by day does the public press teem with exposures of abuses in our mili tary system which even the veriest stickler far things as they are does not for a moment dream of defending. An entire and total change is required throughout the ser vice. Personal bravery is no doubt required in every military man, but the public want something more than that in their paid servants. Commissions, appointment.., exchanges, and promotions must no longer be made matters of barter and traffic, even should the incomes of the William Walkers suffer by the change ; and unless Acts of Parliament are intended to be pleasant jokes, it should not be lett to the discretion of militia adjutants, or any other class of men, to determine whether a 401. cheque can " make matters pleasant." THE NEW CONSUMPTION HOSPITAL IN VICTORIA PARK. The visitors to that oasis of the eastern suburb of the metropolis known as the Victoria-park will not fail to have remarked a stately edifice at its south eastern angle. This is the new Consumption Hospi tal, of which the foundation-stone was laid by Prince Albert in 1851, and which now, after a long delay, occasioned by a deficiency of funds, is about to lie opened for the relief of suffering humanity. This auspicious event was on Wednesday evening, emu memorated by the Committee of the "City of Lon don Hospital for Diseases of the Chest" at the London Tavern, where a very large party sat down at six o'clock to a sumptuous entertainment provided by Mr. Bathe and quite worthy of the occasion. The Earl of Carlisle, Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, presided, and the company at the upper table included the Rev. G. P. Lockwood, rector of South Hackney, and many highly respectable members of the mercantile community. In proposile; the toast of the evening, " Prosperity to the New Consumption Hospital," the noble chairman observed that he must borrow a figure of speech from the coin - try whither he was bound,—they had reet to cele brate the opening of an hospital which bad not been opened. (Laughter.) His LorJship went on to ex plain that out-patients were already received at the ho:;- pita], and that in patients would be admitted in the en suing month of April. The noble earl the❑ enlarged on the merits of this noble institution and the necessity of further exertions and increased pecuniary supplies. It appears that the building has cost about 21,0001., and that, taking the deficiency in the assets of the last year together with amount required for the servile of this, at least 12,0001. must be raised to meet the Immediate exi gencies of the case. We believe that the sums contributed on Wednesday evening amounted to some 3,200/., arising partly from annual subscriptions, and partly from a handsome list of 2001. donations, at the head of which figures the name of his Excellency the President of the In stitution (the Earl of Carlisle.) The remaining business of the evening was of a routine character, with the excep tion of an excellent speech from the Rev. Mr. Rowsell, who gave an affecting description of the sickness and dis tress prevalent in Bethnal-green and the districts ad jacent to Victoria-park. The evening passed off very much to the satisfaction of the guests ; a military band enlivened the repast, and after dinner Misses Birch and Poole, supported by Messrs. Francis, Allen, Jolly, and Lawler agreeably relieved the " unaccompanied reci tative" of the orators. Mr. if arker ably officiated as toastmaster.

The active business of the racing season was resumed ast week, and turfites plunged into work with an ear- fleetness which showed that the labour they delighted in physicked pain. They assisted at the gatherings at Cc! ventry on Tuesday, were in attendance at Liverpool on Wednesday, and on Thursday and Friday were actirely and energetically pursuing their calling at Nottingham. The Grand National Steeplechase was the leading inci dent of the week, and whatever be the merits or de merits of the competitors, and the degenerated character of the sport, it occasioned an encounter of stirring and enduring interest. The Irish Brigade showed in all its wonted formidableness. The winner was an Fish horse, ridden by an Irish jockey, and backed almost exclusively by Irishmen, who, however, took only slight revenge on Saxon book makers. Indeed, so limited was the support which the Wanderer received ;hat the Leviathan of the ring " never wrote his name." Wanderer is one of these horses which I have heard described as being "rum 'uns to look at, but good 'une to go." In appearance he is mean and insignificant, and on a casual inspection seems more like a second class hunter than a first-rate steeplechaser. The style, how ever, in which he " performed" proved him to be a clever jumper, and an animal possessing a good tarn of speed. The patience and judgment with which be was ridden by Hanlon, not a little contributed to his success. His victory, however, created a slight sensation, for it was almost generally believed, even among his own par tizans, that Boundaway would beat him. Wanderer is the property of Mr. Mathew Dunn, of Pimchestown. Trout maintained the position of leading favourite to the close. He was accompanied to Aintree by Bow ton. The Wolverhampton folk were "on" to a man, and they calculated with much certainty upon his sue cess. Still the suspicions which I expressed in The Sun relative to his "understandings" were, I discovered, founded on fact, for I bad ocular proof of his leg being full of inflammation. The manner, too, in which he ran would indicate that, his trial with Bourton must have been very deceptive. After being long "bottled up," and expressly reserved for this event, after having received the most cereful preparation under the most able hands, Miss Motbray resumed her jumping career only to bring it to a violent end. On recrossing Beecher's brook she struck tht rails and pitched heavily on her head. Thu injuries which she sustained in her terrific fall were of a complcated character, and she almost instantly expired. This un fortunate occurrence sorely disappointed her owner, who had backed her for a large stake. Her success, however, was more than doubtful even before her accident, for to me she appeared in " difficulties" in passing the stand in the first time round, and jockeys, who rode is the race, informed me that when she fell she was almost dead beat. The ill-luck which attended her owner at Oundle, with the patched-up British Yeoman, pursued him to Coventry with Oscar, and vented its, full spite at Aintree. The alleged cause of Green's not riding Need wood is the accident with which he met at Coventry on the preceding day. Needwood's light appearance before the race was scarcely calculated to encourage his backers, aad his equivocal performance was little likely to make them satisfied. Still, it is said that his owner was actually 1 n earnest ; but to such base uses has the sport degen:- rated that the slightest mistake or error of judgment seems sufficient to awaken and justify suspicion.. There is a report that he was sold the day before the race fir 1,1001. The faith which was placed in Dangerous was rut a little astonishing to those who were acquainted wi;11 the hero's ignoble " antecedents." Old Maurice Da4 looked so fresh and well that he was widely fancied, and just before the lace he was perhaps backed for more money than all the outsiders together. He ran forwael enough to show that his backers had good grounds fir their fondness. By the way, even the appearance el " Black Tom" in the saddle was insufficient to counter act the strong opposition which set in most ominously against Bastion. Time will not permit me to refer to the racing at Not tingham, where, however, the proceedings presented no especial "features" of importance. Winter has again come " te rule the varied year,' and the probability exists of its yet lingering to " chill the lap of May." Whether, however, it will be sufficiently severe to again utterly spoil sport, I am not sufficiently weatherwise to determine. Being in tho hurry of packing up and starting for Derby, I can only briefly express my opinion on the events appointed for decision on Tuesday and Wednesday at Doncaster. Fearless, Kennyside Hero, Sicily, and Jaok Stepp►rd attract attention for the Trial Stakes. All, however, except the first mentioned, have incurred penalties for previous winnings. Still, with a start, I shall " stand upon" Sicily and Jack Sheppard. Fearless and Kenny- side Hero are also engaged for the Sheffield and Rother ham Plate, for - which they are handicapped at w e ; w hte which may induce their respective owners to let them do battle for it. Falcon, too, is also " in" on advantageous terms, while Sheppard's stable is well represented by Snowdon Dunhill and Catherine Parr. Free Trader's running at Liverpool is sufficient to render his chance for the Doncaster Steeplechase some what formidable. The " lot," lat present fancy, com prises Free Trader, Maurice Daley, and St. Arnaud. I do not, however, profess to a very searching know ledge of the probabilities which affect a steeplechase. Alonzo is unquestionably weighted leniently fcr the Doncaster Handicap, and I shall expect to see Lim oc cupy one of the foremost positions in the race. Jack Leeming and Prince Plausible have incurred penalties by their achievements last week. The latter's chance is not, however, destroyed. The unlucky King of Trumps and little St. Clare must not be slightingly re garded should they go to the post. For the Betting Room stakes, Sicily and Scalade are entitled to notice. So much uncertainty exists relative to the engage. meats at Salisbury, that it would be useless to refer to them. Should they even "stand," however, they will possess only slight and temporary interest. A FRESH MAN. DONCASTER SPRING MEETING.—MAitcn 13 AND 14. PROGRAMME OF THE SPORT.

Half mile. the 'various departments is thus explained. In the loco motive department there has been an excess of expendi ture amounting to 1,6871. is. This arises from increased mileage and consumption of coke, and from the higher price of materials used in renewals of engines and ten - ders. It is also to be observed, that the increase in the expenditure, on account of coke, has been mainly caused by a diminution in the quantity yielded in the manufac ture of the article in the company's coke ovens at AUSTRIA AND THE RUSSIAN QUESTION. -:-Moonbeam 2 Lady Tattoo.., 3 The SCURRY STAKES (Handicap) of 3 sovs each, with 20 added, for horses of all ages ; a winner after the pub lication of the weights to carry 71b extra ; the second to save his stake.

One mile- To close this day (Monday). BERLIN, March 6.—lf the slightest reliance can be placed on the assertions of the Cologne Gazette, the Russian question, as far as regards Austria, is about to enter a new and somewhat curious phase. The Gazette commences by quoting the 36th article of the acts of the Confederation, which runs thus : " In case complaints should be made by a foreign State to the Diet, relative to prejudice caused to it by a mem ber of the Confederation, and these shall be deemed well-founded, then the Diet is bound to demand that the member of the confederation which has caused the com plaint shall make immediate and ample reparation, and to connect with this demand such measures as, accord ing to the nature of circumstances, will in proper time prevent further peace-disturbing consequences. We are assured," continues this journal, " that Russia intends, in virtue of this article, to refer its differences with Aus tria to be arranged by the Diet. We insert this because the intelligence comes from too sure a quarter to remain unnoticed." Folkestone, in consequence of the defective supply of water during the last summer, rendering it necessary to cool the ovens with salt instead of fresh water, by which the quality of the coke was at the same time deteriorated. Measures have been adopted to remedy this defect for the future, by insuring a better supply of water at Folkestone. The total running of the engines has cost, including repairs and renewals, 9•353 d. per mile, against 9.321 d. for the half-year ending January, 1854. The locomotive stock may be reported as in a highly satisfac tory condition. The stock has been fully maintained in efficiency. and the service of the railway conducted with regularity during the present half-year. In the carriage department the excess of expenditure amounts to 4,8931. 17s. Bd. This is caused chiefly by the extensive renewals effected during the half-year, which have been rendered necessary to replace the eldest description of stock, and by the high price of labour and materials. The num ber of carriages thus replaced by new and_ substantial vehicles is 49, and they are of the most efficient and servieeable description. The amount expended in' ex cess, in the maintenance of way, works, and stations, is. 1,0571. 13s. 6d., or about 3'60/. ,more per -mile maine `tamed than in the same period ending in 'January, 1854; The renewals have cost 9,0531. 12S. beirife 11,5661. is. 3d. less than in the same period of last year. The proprietors are reminded that the whole amount for renewals has become a charge against re venue, and, being included ix the account, with the maintenance of way, will account for the apparent in creased expenditure under that head. The miscellaneous working expenses exceed those of the corresponding half-year of 1854 by 2,7241. 10s. 40., the principal excess having been in the goods department, arising from the larger amount of tonnage carried over the line. The recent pressure on the money market has had the effect of raising tho rate of interest payable on this as on ail other companies' loans, the average charge for the half year being at the rate of 4'539/. per cent. per annum, as compared with 4'239/. in the corresponding period of last year. This increase in the interest of the mortgage debt has affected the half-yearly available balance to the extent of 3,1481. 7s. ld. Notwithstanding the failure in the growth of hops during the season of 1854, and the consequent large reduction in the quantity conveyed over the line, the merchandise traffic presents a favour able comparison with the period ending in January, 1854. An increase in the tonnage of goods conveyed to France, amounting to 3,327 tons, has also been obtained and the additional receipts from this source are 2,229/. 12s. 70. The merchandise traffic, both by way of Boulogne ar.d Calais, is steadily improving. The com pany's steam-ships are in efficient working order, and have performed their voyages with regularity. During the half-year 36,811 passengers have been conveyed via Folkestone and Boulogne and 14,635 via Dover and Calais, making a total of 51,516 passengers carried by the com pany'e boats. The average time occupied in 808 passages, in all weathers in seas was 1 hour 59,S minutes ; a result which your directors cannot but regard as satisfactory. In connection with this subject, your directors have to state that their anticipations with respect to the arrange ments at Folkestone, by which the repairs of the steam boats were placed under the superintendence of Mr. Cudsworth, have been in a great measure realised, and that a considerable saving has been effected under this head during the past half-year. Your directors regard as one of the most satisfactory features in the traffic of the undertaking the steady increase of trade with France by way of Folkestone and Boulogne. The im ports to Folkestone, conveyed by the company's steamers, have been 2,414 tons during the past half-year, yielding 3,3461. in tolls ; and the exports from Folkestone to Boulogne have been 3,732 tons, yielding 3,1001. in tolls —an increase of 3,060 tons over 1851. This large in crease in the traffic with France over this company's lines has been caused chiefly by the consignment of raw cotton from Liverpool to Switzerland, and of colonial produce for consumption in France, for which there will probably be even t ua lly a l arg er demand. A traffic in merchandise has also been commenced during the sum mer between Dover and Calais, which, although in its infancy, is already encouraging ; and it is probable that, with proper facilities, considerable traffic will pass by this route. To the cultivation of such traffic your di rectors will give their close and continuous attention. In connection with the subject of continental traffic, your directors may state that they have established a friendly understanding with the Belgian and Prussian State Railway authorities, and they will afford every facility for the development of the traffic by way of Dover and Calais to Germany and the North of Europe. The Paris and Brussels agencies having proved most valuable, similar agencies have recently been established at. Cologne and the principal cities of Belgium, the ad vantages of which are expected to be considerable. As the railway from Lyons to Valence—about sixty miles in length—is expected to be finished in the course, of „ about two. months, s the communicatio n with Marseilles will thus be rendered complete. And forming, as this railway will, an important part of the overland route to the Mediterranean and India, your directors look forward to the prospect of a considerable accession of traffic ; and they will be pre pared at the proper time to authorise such arrangements being made with the continental companies, and at Mar scilles, as shall secure this company's interests in such traffic. Arrangements are also being made in anticipa tion of the approaching Exhibition at Paris ; and the advantages offered by this railway of the most direct and expeditious through route render it probable that this company will derive considerable advantages therefrom. Your directors also regard with interest the formation of the permanent camp at Aldershot, at a short distance from the Ash Station on the Reading and Reigate Rail way. The proximity of this line to the camp, as corn pared with the neighbouring railways, and the advan tage which it possesses of a continuous communication with the principal military arsenals, render it probable that traffic will be obtained from this source. With a view to establish a coal trade upon the line, an agree ment w as formerly made with a company for the sale of coals at the various stations ; but, in the belief that the trade may new be further developed, your directors have given notice to terminate that agreement in July next. Your directors have recently made a reduction in the rates charged for telegraphic messages conveyed by the company's wires, the result of which has been satisfactory. The recon structed board thought it advisable to make a change in the secretary ; and, with the view of obtaining the services of a gentleman possessing a thorough knowledge of the duties of that important office, they advertised for candidates, and out of 50 applicants they selected Mr. Smiles, because of his experience, and the high character of his testimonials. Your directors feel every confidence that the appointment will prove advantageous to the com pany. The directors have awarded to Mr. Herbert, the late secretary, the sum of 1,400/., being two years' salary, in consideration of his long and faithful services. While they deem it advisable to make so important a change of one of their principal officers, the directors would if possi ble remove from the mind of a gentleman who has so long served the company all feeling ef personal injustice. In compliance with the resolution of the proprietors at the last ha'f-yearly meeting, requiring a statement of the amount expended in proxies duri the last ten years, anti all expenses in c id en t a l thereto your directors have now to report that the amount so expended has been 2,5981. ss. 11d. The capital account shows an increase of 141,0021. 16s. 4d. for the half year. The two princi pal items of expenditure are 32,5191. 18s. 70. on account of engines and tenders, carriages and waggons, con tracted for previous to the last half-yearly meeting; and 94,081/. 65., which has been expended in the construction of the Strood and Maidstone branch. The balance has been devoted to the enlargement and improvement of stations, principally for the purpose of accommodating the increased goods traffic. The capital expended in the construction of the Strood and Maidstone line, though at present unproductive, is necessarily a charge on the half-year's revenue. The works are proceeding satis factorily, and are expected to be completed in the spreig of next year, when your directors trust that the working of the branch will fully realise the anticipations of the proprietors. The only bill which this company has before Parliament in the present session is one which the direc tors, with the authority given to them at the last half yearly meeting, have introduced for power to raise the further sum of 500,0001. The bill has been read a second time in the House of Commons, and is now waiting for committee. The bills at present before Parliament which affect this company are the North and Mid Kent Junction Railway Bill, the Staines, Wokingham, and Woking Railway Extension Bills, the East Kent Railway Bill, and the Folkestone Improvement Bill. These subjects have tha attentions of your directors. Your directors will continue to devote their careful attention to the de velopment of the traffic of the railway, by exercising every economy is the management consistent with effi ciency, and by endeavouring to cultivate, as far as possible, amicable relations with other companies. They trust that at no distant period arrangements will be made for the connection of this company's system of railways with the lines to the north and west of England by which means the public convenience will be greatly promoted, and increased facilities afforded for the passing of traffic between France and the manufacturing districts of this country. The directors who now retire by rotation are Mr. MacGregor, M.P., Mr. Renshaw, and Mr. Rich, M.P. The election of Mr. Beattie as a director, in the room of Sir J. N. R. Campbell, resigned, is subject to the confirmation or otherwise of the proprietors. On the 14th of March, 1850, the proprietors directed the board to seduce their number to nine by ballet among them selves,' which was done accordingly ; and the directors have continued at that number until the present time. Representations have, however, been made to the board, by influential proprietors, of the expediency of again in creasing the number of directors from nine to twelve, with the view of adding to the efficiency of the board and committees ; and, in consequence of that represen tation being made, the directors adopted the following resolution at their board meeting held on the 220 of February last That it be a recommendation to the proprietors, at their next half-yearly meeting, to rescind the resolution passed at the half-yearly general meeting held on the 14th of March, 1850, whereby the directors were ordered to reduce their number to nine ; and that, on such re solution being duly rescinded, the proprietors be recom mended to instruct the directors to increase the number ef the board from nine to twelve ; and be further recom mended then to name the three additional directors to be elected by the board, according to the 39th section of 9 and 10 Vic., c. 305.' o Tlie p increaser otphrei et numbors e a r r e o f a c t c h o o rd b in oa g r l d y f rrecommended 12,n0 wa and to instruct the directors as to the three new members whom they desire to be added, and they will be elected aceordingly.". The fallowing appears in the Pan-Russian organ relative to the influence which the late Emperor's death may exercise over the Vienna Conferences "The Emperor Nicholas has died just at the moment when the Peace Conferences were to open. It would be r'a s sli if we replied to the question of what influence this ! awful event will exercise over the development of pend ing questions. No one can possibly calculate its effects. Let hope their Britannic and Austrian Majesties, to whom the royal virtues of the late Monarch were known, will not forget who is Lord over the great on earth. Let - us hope that the present French ruler will not forget his uncle and the Emperor Alexander. Let us hope that the Emperor to whom the honour and mi-ght of Russia is confided will carry out the testamentary behests of his deceased father with a clear mind and resolute hand.

ARRIVALS AT DONCASTER. (By Electric Telegraph.) MANCHESTER, March 9.—For some descriptions, par ticularly India shirtings and jacconets, buyers were in duced to come into the market, provided they could meet with lots on terms which sellers had been previ ously willing to accept ; and, as some of these, after try ing in vain to get more, did accept such terms, opera tions of some extent were effected. This, however, was an exceptional sort of business. Generally, the sales have been limited, though showing some increase. As to prices, it may perhaps be said that producers are firmer than they were last week at last week's quota tions. . . The following horses have arrived :—Sicily, Corin, Little Charley, Warwick, Burnt Sienna, Kitty, Eulogist, Prince Plausible, Cossey, Lady Tatton, Carry, Forest Queen, and Maid of the Morn. MALTON.—The following are expected to leave here for Doncaster :—Ammonia, Haxby, Jack Sheppard, Catherine Parr, St. Michael, Nell Gwynn°, and three or four others. NorriNGnAlf, March B.—Neither the beautiful change of weather nor the news of the death of the Emperor of Russia hai hitherto made any difference in inquiry for goods. There will doubtless be a tolerably fair trade doing during the next six months in both hosiery and lace, especially as trade in America seems to be in a good way of being speedily righted. There is not any regulsr list for the price of yarn, the buyers and sellers making the best terms they can, ,without reference to any list of prices. LEICESTER, March B.—The absence of American and other foreign orders, as well as the want of the usual spring demand for cotton goods for the home market is severely felt, and employment is much less than usual at this season. The London factors and others buy only at present for immediate use. Age MIDDLEHAM.—The following have left here for Don caster :—Gamelad, Freddy, Van Winkle, Middlesboro', and King of Trumps.

The report of the directors of this company, to be pre sented at the half-yearly meeting on Thursday next, just issued, says :-" The directors have to report, that the receipts of the South-Eastern Railway Company for the half-year ending on the 31st January, 1855, have been 467,3901. 15s. ld., including 499/, ss. 10d. received of the Brighton Company for toll ; and the working ex penses and renewals, 192,5311. 16s. sd. The rates, taxes, and tolls amount to 19,9291. ss. sd. ; the Government duty to 12,906/. 13s. 6d. ; the rents of the Greenwich Railway, Deptford Creekbridge and Angerstein-wharf and branch, to 23,3261. ss. 10d. ; which stuns, in addi tion to the interest on the mortgage debt, South-Eastern Annuities, and Guaranteed Stock of the company, 92,6331. 15s. Gd., make a total deduction from the gross earnings of 341,373/. is. Bd. The profit and loss ac count shows a balance of 6,9031. 158. Gd., after provid ing for the last dividend, as well as 11,0241. 3s. 6d., the net earnings at the credit of steam-boat account ; and is debited with the sum of 6,063/. 9s. 3d. for Parliamentary and other expenses ; leaving a balance of 137,782/. 3s. 2d. A dividend of lie. per share, being at the rate of 3/. 6s. Bd. per cent. per annum, will absorb a sum of 123,895/., leaving a balance to be carried over of 13,887/. 3s. 2d. In the balance-sheet there is a sum in suspense account of 8,842/, lls. Bd., which had been paid on ac count of the Croydon accident up to the 31st January last. Since then a further sum of 3,1231. 11s. 3d. has been paid on the same account. An arbitration has been agreed on with the Brighton Company to determine in what shares and proportions, or whether wholly by one company or the other, the loss shall eventually be borne. The total increase in traffic for the last half-year, as com pared with the corresponding half-year ending 31st Jan., 1854, is 11,997/. 7s. sd. The credit side of the revenue account, as compared with that for the similar period end ing January, 1854, shows in increaseof 2,2481.45. 4d. The working expenses, rates, and Government duty, for the same period, are increased to the amount of 20,5811. 7s. 9d. The fist item on the credit side of the profit and loss account is 6,903/. 15s. 6d. against 1,1231. 16s. 9d. ; and the balance of 252,956/. 18e. Bd. less 11,024/, Be. 6d., earned by the steam-boats, making 241,932/. 14s. 9d., is less for this than the comparative half of last year by the sum of 18,333/. 3s. sd. Against this amount, the charges for rents, interest, Parlia mentary expenses, &c., are increased by 9,3021. lls. 3d. This includes one-third of the Parliamentary and other expenses incurred by promoting the Lewisham, Croy don, and Bromley Bill of 1853, charged in the manner sanctioned by the proprietors in March last, and the sum of 2,566/. 13s. 4d., payments made to the late se cretary and engineer. The balance of net revenue, via , 137,7821. 3s. 2d., is 15,9931. ss. 6d. less than that for the corresponding half-year of 1854, which is thus ex plained :-The revenue account for the half-year ending on the 31st January, 1855, compared with that for the corresponding period of last year exhibits an increase in the receipts, inclusive of the earnings of the steam-ves sels applicable to the half-year, of 13,2721.75. 10d. There is also an increase to the extent of 5,7791. 18s. 9d. in the amount brought from the last half-year, after payment of the dividend declared in Sept. ; which sums, less 1951. 17s. 3d. in respect of interest en Canterbury and Whit stable securities, credited in the former period, as well as the sum of 4,9651. 15s. 10d., being the balance on the steam-boat account to 31st July, 1853, make a total increase in the revenue of 13,8901. 13s. 6d. On the other hand there will be seen an increase under the head of working expenses-on account chiefly of renewals of the rolling stock, 6,490/. 18s. Bd. ; for the mainte nance and renewals of way and works, 9,976/. 3s. sd. ; for miscellaneous charges (chiefly attributable to the in crease in the conveyance of merchandise), 2,7241. 10s. 4d. ; and for rates, taxes, tolls to other com panies, and Government duty, 1,339/. 15s. 4d. To these must be added the larger amount of interest pay able on borrowed capital and preference stook of 5,108/. is. 3d ; the Parliamentary costs (including one-third of the sum incurred on the Lewisham and Bromley lines), and the payment made to the company's late secretary and engineer, amounting together to 5,7911. ls. 11d. ; making a total of 31,4801. 103. 11d., subject, however, to a reduction in the charge for the rent of branch lines of 1,8961. lls. lld. ; thus leaving a total increase in the expenditure of revenue account of 29,883/. 195., and show, after the deduction of the sum of 13,8901.135. 6d., previously set forth, a diminution in the amount avail able for dividend of 35,993/. ss. 6d. The expenditure in I •- - OTOLLEN TRADE. (Front the Leeds Mercury of Eaturday.) LEEDS, March 9.—We have no change to report the state of the woollen market this week. The recent improvement has bee❑ fully maintained, Both on Saturday and on Tnesday there was a good attendance of merchants in the Cloth-halls, and a disposition was shown to operate more freely, aad a much better feel ing prevailed generally in both markets. There has also been rather more done to order ; on the whole, we may report this market in a rather better state at pre sent, and a larger business doing. RocianALE, March s.—There have been no signs of improvement in the flannel market to-day, and the amount of lousiness transacted has been very limited. Wool has undergone little change ; and the manufactu rers continue to buy very sparingly, at about former prices. BRADFORD.—There is little doing, and all seem dis posed to act with great caution. There is more inquiry for brokes and noils. Yarns—This branch is in a cheer less state. There is so much idle machinery and work ing short time, however, that stocks do not accumulate, and with a change in the weather favourable to shipping we may expect a more hopeful state of things. HALIFAX, March 3.—The only alteration that we have to notice this week is a greater degree of firmness in the wool trade ; the declining tendency in price has evidently received a check for the present, and supplies of useful fleece wool are bare. RAISING THE BLOCKADE OF THE DANUBE. ( Front a Supplentent to Friday's Gazette.) FOREIGN OFFICE, MARCH 10, 1855. It is hereby notified that the Right Honourable the Earl of Clarendon, K.G., her Majesty's Principal Secre tary of State for Foreign Affairs, has received a des patch from Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, G.C.B„ commanding her Majesty's naval forces in the Black Sea, dated " Royal Albert," off Sebastopol, 20th February, 1855, and addressed to the Lords Commis sioners of the Admiralty, announcing that, in conjunc tion with Vice-Admiral Bruat, commanding the French squadron in the Black Sea, he had, on and from the 18th of Feb. last, raised the blockade of the Danube, which was established on and from the let day of June, 1854, and which was notified in the London Gazette of the 13th of June, 1854, and which has since been duly main tained. It is hereby notified, that the cruisers of the Allied Fleets are, and will remain, stationed off the mouths of the Danube, to capture any vessels laden with contra band of war destined for the use of the enemy. FORTV NATE DIGGERS. (From the M elbourne Age.) Statistics are iron things, cast iron we may say, for they neither reserve or bend. Tom Jones may be jilted by Mary Smith, or Harry Brown take a villain's advantage over his Lucy's fond credulity, but the re gistrar's tables will be filled, and the statistical returns philosophically correct. Geld field, are no exception. There are a certain number of diggers in every locality and a certain amount of gold obtained, and notwith standing the great fortune of some and continuous bad luck of other individuals, we believe that time proves even in such a hap-hazard field as Ballarat that per severance will have its reward. Messrs. Thomas Day, Edmund Cock, William Cock, William Erwood, Abra ham Bryant, all of Battersea, in the County of Surrey, James Lyons, of Liverpool, Hugh M'Donald and Hugh MThiliney of Gla , gow, are now exhibiting at the Gamekeeper's Hotel, Market-square, the immense nug get weighing 981b5., lately obtained at Ballarat, and numerous other nuggets obtained at the same time and out of the same hole. At sight the nugget would not seem to be so valuable as it really is, but the immense weight proves that the interior must be nearly solid gold. When found the gold in it was not perceived, and it was supposed to be a mere boulder of quartz, but on being lifted in order to be thrown on one side, the presence of a large quantity of gold was detected. The total amount of gold obtained out of the claim after de ducting that sold for expenses was about 20,7001. in value. After the shepherding ceased the party were 35 days in sinking and working out the -claim. The depth was from the foot of the windlass 150 feet deep. Dur ing part of the time, besides the original party of eight, they had six labourers engaged, and though they paid the highest current wages they could not get men to work with them more than four days at a time, so severe was the work. The party being industrious men, they were enabled while shepherding to earn money by day and night work to pay for the expenses of the hole until they got gold. The men themselves, in spite of all the alleged hardships of the diggers' life at Ballarat, are not the least interesting part of the ex hibition, being in fine robust health. This party on an average have been two years at Ballarat ; up to this time they may be ranked as unlucky, for they had spent more than four times the amount of the gold they had ob tained ; they hail not run into debt with storekeepers, and yet had always been able to keep open chances on the best paying lines. Hew have they succeeded I—by honesty, sobriety (not teetotalism), and unflagging per severanee. When they had no money, halt worked as day labourers, split slabs, or took half-shares, while their mates shepherded the holes to be kept, and this splendid success was the reward of their mutual good faith. We believe that they are no extreme case. Hundreds of similar instances can be given, and success at :the Victorian gold fields has been lately, and for the future will be in the majority of cases, the well-earned reward of the meritoriously industrious, and not the Tum Tidler's fortune of the lucky vagabond. [rho whole of the above fortunate diggers have just arrived in Engiland, in the clipper-ship Kent, with the nugget Lady bEotham in their possession.] DEATH OF A VETERAN.- - Our obituary of last week recorded the decease amongst us, at the age of 78, of Lieutenant Kenneth Murchison—in his day one of the handsomest and strongest men in the British army. He was a native of the Isle of Skye ; saw a good deal of service, but was chiefly known as conducting at Inver ness, for a number of years, the recruiting service of the 78th Highlanders, in which he enlisted much about the same time with the gallant General Mac kenzie, of Gairloch, who commanded them, and who is now residing at Inverness. A num b er o f ? officers and soldiers, both of the line and militia, attended the de ceased's funeral, and his body was carried to the grave by the recruiting party of the Gordon Highlanders—all fine looking men. Lieut. Murchison died as a retired officer on full pay of the 3d Veteran Battalion. All his family have been more or less engaged in the military service of the country. His wife, a Miss Urquhart, from Fort-George, had four brothers, all officers, and two of whom died on the field of battle, high in rank as in bravery. His and her sons, five in number, all connected themselves in early youth to their father's profession — one having entered the Marines, one the Scots Fusilier Guards, one died at Madras an officer in the East India Company's 13th Native Infantry, one had a long mili tary command in Jamaica, and the fon th son, Kenneth, still surviving, is Major in the 29th Regiment, and fought with distinction in many engagements, and especially throughout the last Seikh war in India under General Lord Gougb.—/wvernas courier. •cl• ~ I~~J PRICES OF SHARES , IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM PANIES' STOCK.

SINGULAR GUN ACCIDENT.—A serious accident oc curred on the 27th ult. to a yeung man named Keeble, a miller, in the employ of Mr. Pattrick, at Dovercourt, which occasioned the loss of his arm. It appears a loaded gun was standing up by the door-post of the cot tage, when a little child running past probably brushed it with his clothes, and it fell into the room. The con cussion caused the gun to go off, and the contents shat tered Keeble's arm, and several shots entered his side. The unfortunate man was immediately attended, and the limb subsequently amputated. The patient is progres sing favourably.—Essex Standard.
