Thu acids of the mouth exert ro agency on the c hemically-prepared White India-rubber, and as it is a non-conductor, fluids of any temperature may with thorough comfort be imbibed and retained in the mouth, an unpleasantness of smell or taste being at the same time wholly provided against by the peculiar nature of its preparation.

" A HAPPY NIW YEAR." HOWEVER we may value past enjoyments, it must be admitted that present hopes have a greater influence than bygone recollections. There are some pleasing reminiscences of the post year which will sweeten the events of the present. The (id Year, loaded with the precious fruit , of the earth, like a provi dent and industrious predecessor, has left us the legacy of good food, which we hope, notwithstanding adverse circumstances, to have at a cheap rate. Reviewing the past year, we have the highest gratification in re cording our sncee , a, and expressing our thanks for the vast amount of patronage and support which our business in all Its departments hits received. We think it no presumption to say we nave laboured to merit the distinction we leave gained. Business—practical, ener getic, censtant, punctual, and unwavering—has been our daily ob ject. We have visited every market; we have employed the skill and experleme with which many years of boundless trade have gifted us ; we have encouraged talent, and patronised industry, and have made WI our resources available to frien is, patrons, and the public, in presenting them with superior and fashi - ntble Dress, at very reasonable charges. We have received our reward in the innu merable instances of satisfaction expressed toward oar besinesa and our manufactures—in the vast increase of our Trade is London, the United Kingdom, the Colonies, and throughout the World. The Ready-made Clothing Department has been publicly acknow ledged the boon of society, and an advantage to individuals and families. Our ambition to furnish the best, most fashionable, and comfortable Clothing, at the lowest possible prices, has met with a most conspictrms response ; and we owe to our friends, patrons, and the public, a grateful ecknowkd,onent of success which has not been equalled on ::ny former season. We have received the attention of all classes and of all professions—our productions have been declared the most popular, the most gentlemanly, the most comfortable, and the cheapest. Our system of business, now universally known, has been as eaten ively praised ; and through the past Year, the cordial congratulations we have received have been a source of satisfaction, which we esteem the most b-illiant triumph of Trade. As HatterA, we have supplied elegant articles for the intellectual develorments of our fellow-subjects, and have neither contracted their benevolent propensities by comfortless hats, , nor distorted their apprehensions with exorbitant prices ; but the best productions of Londgn and Paris have ben transferred from our Establishments to their proper places—the Heads of families and all the young hope fuls of a future generation. _ . . In the Hosiery Department such encouragement has been expe rienced as has exceeded the most sanguine expectation, and at the repeated solicitation of a vast number of patrons we have been in duced to add a Hosiery se Alon to our Oxford-strut t Branch Establish ment. Being the largest Manufacturers of Shirts and Undercl)thing, and having commercial transactions with every Nation and King dom in the World, we have the pleasure of offering such articles in Hosiery for Ladies and Gentlemen as are not equalled for supe riority, variety, elegance, or cheapness. Our Wholesale Clothing, Shirt, and Boot and Shoe Business, for which the most extensive premises are kept at our City Establish • meld, has had tie most liberal encouragement from Merchants, Shippers, Captains, and others ; and we have the greatest satisfac tion in the uniform testimony which has been award-LA to our pro ductions from the celebrity they have gained in all parts of the world, and the conviction that they have proved the most pro fitable investments which were ever made for the export or home trade. We most gratefully acknowledge the distinguished patronage which has ben conferred on our Branch Establishments at Sheffield and Bradford, Yorkshire, where we rursus tha same plans of business, charge the same reasonable prices, and furnish goods of the same fashionable and excellent order. Though every colony of the British Empire has in it our patrons, Australia, that home of English in dustry, has a large and flourishing Wholesale Branch of cur well :Known business ; and we are persuaded that in every place that business will always be worthy of the name and celebrity of E. MOSES and SON, However, as it is E.

NA.VAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. St. Jean d'Acre, 101, screw, Captain Hon. F. Kep pel, was completed on Saturday at Devonport. On Sunday, at one p.m., she got up steam. Soon after the band played some cheering tunes, and at 1.45 p.m. three hearty cheers were given on board. She left her mooring, and glided off most beautifully. When she arrived abreast the flag ship her steam was increased, and she gathered way, and passed through the Narrows in splendid style, answering her helm like a boat. A select party were on board. She goes to Cork to em bark troops for the Crimea. Princess Royal, 90, Captain Lord C. Paget, is to take troops to the Black Sea. A part of Sappers and Miners will embark at Devonport ; the remainder will embark at Queenstown. . . . Cossack, 21, screw, Captain Fanshawe, was taken out of dock at Keyham on Saturday, and was to go out fer a cruise to-day to try her engines, as well as to sea if her leak is stopped. Penelope, 22, paddle, Captain Caffin, hauled into dock at Portsmouth, yesterday morning, and on the water being pumped out, it was remarkable that her bottom was in such excellent condition. Although she was on the rocks at Bomarsund forthree-and-a-halt hours scarcely a scratch is perceptible ; a few sheets of copper, and two hours' work will enable her to come out of dock, and to be employed on any troop or store service ; her crew will be paid down to-day, and half of her officers will have leave of absence, the men we have before stated (the old hands) to have 60 days' leave, and the new hands 14. The Falcon, 17, screw, is being blasted in the steam basik& dock. Yesterday her Majesty's steamer Lizard, having been round in company with the African steamer to Plymouth and Portsmouth to transfer 100 supernumeraries to the ships under orders for the Black Sea, returned to Sheer -11235. The Cuckoo, paddle, Lieut. Commander Murray, sailed to day to the westward. The Clyde, iron screw chartered transport, has nearly completed filling up with stores for the Crimea, and will sail for Portsmouth to-day. APPOINTMENTS. Commander—Joseph G.' Bickford (1852), t• the Princess Royal, 90, screw, at Devonport. Masters—John W. M. T. aall (1845) recently serving in the Euryalus, to the Princess Royal ; and Wm. Jet. fery (1841), who was on Saturday last appointed to the Blenheim, has been transferred to the Euryalus, 50, screw, at Devonport. Colonel Harry G. Jones, director of the engineering establishment at Chatham, is under orders to proceed to the seat of war is the Crimea. It is expected that he will embark in the courrne of the weok, at the same time as the Ist Company of Royal Sappers and Miners, now in Chatham, under orders of readiness to embark for the Crimea. The Sappers have been medically inspected, and are slow receiving a supply of warm clothing and very strong boots for trench work. battleships are moored on the south•east side of the harbour. Yesterday the Lords of the Admiralty gave notice at the Underwriters'-room, Lloyd's, Royal Exchange, that three more steamers were required for the conveyance of provisions to the army in the. Crimea ; they will be required to call at Constantinople for orders from the senior Commissariat officer. Since Friday transfers of able seamen have been made from her Majesty's ship Crocodile, off the Tower, to her Majesty's ships Majestic, Nankin, Tartar, PA rc h er , Rhadama.nthus, and Esk as also to her Majesty's training ships Waterloo, at Sheerness, Fisgard, at Woolwich, and Illustrious and Excellent, at Ports mouth. Since the arrival of the Powerful at Greenock, in November, she has shipped above 100 men, principally ordinary seamen. Her complement is still 200 short. ..... ..,. MILITARY; The under-named officers at Chatham garrison have obtained leave of absence for the periods herein stated : Captain A. Campbell, 94th, to the 4th March ; Capt., A. Lennox. Peel, 52d Light Infantry, to the 30th inst. ; and Lieutenant Richard Clancy to the 31st ; Ensign Bowton, 99th, and Captain Edward Steele, 83d, the former officer to the 14th, Asa the latter to the 27th February next.

The ambulance cerps,twidch has been formed skt4lhateam for service at the_etrekof war in the - East, have received their mite far embarkation, which is to take place at Devonport. They are to embark en Sa turday next on board the above ship. Lieut.-Colonel John Henry Fraucklyn succeeds to the command orthe artillery at Ballineollig, vice Lieut.- Colonel Crawford, ordered to the Cape of Good Hope. Lieut.-Colonel Crawford has received one month's leave of absence prior to proceeding to the Cape. The anniversary of the battle of Maharajpore falling on Friday, the non-commissioned officers of the 39th Regiment, at Cork, celebrated the day by a festival, at which they entertained representatives of other regi ments now in this garrison. The 39th Regiment, as most persons probably are aware, bore a distinguished part in the above-named engagealent, in commemora tion of which the word "Maharajpore" is inscribed on their colours and appointments. There is no depot battalion yet formed in Limerick. The 9th, 17th, 39th, and 89th depots will constitute the Lpriomveisrlocknailsb t a h t e ta B l 9 io th o . , but the only depot yet arrived in Lieut.-Colonel N. M.

The following is an extract of a letter received by a gentleman from his son, an officer in the Regiment, at present serving in the Crimea : "Camp before Sebastopol, Dec. 12. " The attack is expected to be made very shortly, though there are a great variety of opinions on this sub ject here. Some go so far as to say it will not be at tempted at all ; but the more general belief, is that the fortress will be taken before Christmas. How this is to be done I cannot see, for all the guns before Sebastopol are completely done up, quite worn out, and no possi bility of getting up fresh ones, from the continued bad state of the roads. " Every one is grumbling and growling, being thoroughlY disgusted with the whole affair. Everything is grossly mismanaged —the command of the army, the commissariat, the ordnance, and all are none knows where. Every one leaves everything to the others to do,; and consequently nothing is done. Lord Raglan hall not been seen for three weeks, and the report is he has gone to Malta for the winter. In fact, he has succeeded in giving general dissatisfaction. There is nothing but discontent prevailing, from the heads to the subordinates of the army here—despondency everywhere. Lord Car- digan, it is said, has made zp his mind to quit the ser vice, and has sold off all his traps. There were 125 attempts at resignation within the- last week, but none will by permitted to resign. No one thinks of selling. " The /cold is dreadful. The first night the 46th were in the trenches seven man were frozen to death However, I don't mind it, for I can bear cold tolerably well, having also a fair supply of warm clothing, in the - way of drawers, flannel waistcoasts, &a. My spirits and Health ~ were - never' better, It - is quite' ridietdout the prices that are paid at Balaklava for the oommones. necessaries of life procurable there, one stick of choco late going fbr 16s. British money ; what you would get at home for 2s. or so." The fallowing letter, describing the present state of the army, has been received from a colour serjeant of the 50th r— " Camp before Sebastopol, Dec. 11. " There does not appear much chance of their giving in. If, please, God, we could only get about three weeks fine weather, we could play the deuce with them ' • but, as it is, the road from Balaklava is in such a state that it is impossible to ' get the guns up, for the road is knee deep in mud. The horses we send down for provisions drop down dead on their way back, though poor things they are scarcely able to crawl. I have seen as many as six live ones to draw a dead one away to a place to bury it, and it was as much as they could do. The poor things are actually starved to death, for they cannot get provisions, and the places they stand in as stables are over their hoofs in mud ; but, thank God, the weather is better at last ;we have now had three fine days. But for the last month it has been continually wet and cold ; so, as I said about the horses, how must it be for the men ? I can assure you it has been dread ful—up to our shoetops in slush and dirt in the trenches ; and there we have to remain for twelve hours in the wet and cold. I have seen as runny as four men die in a night in the trenches, with the cramp, from wet, cold, and fatigue. We are getting more regiments out here now, and it is the fresh ones that sillier the most, as we are pretty well inured to it now. The 62d landed about a fortnight back, and I heard yesterday they had lest 90 men. The 46th landed about the same time, and I bear that they have lost more. The 9th landed last week, and they are burying five and six a day. The Ist Royals lost 10 in one night ;we lost seven, as we had a draft of recruits, on the 22d ult. I had an officer and eight men posted to my company ; I have lost the officer and four of the men since. But, please God the weather continues fine, the sickness will soon leave us. The last three days being fine, the men and cattle are getting round again. During ray time of soldiering I have seen a good deal, but this beats all. Bat I only hope it may please God to protect me, to return again to old England ; then I could tell you more than at present. We are all very thankful to the ladies of England, as we hear it is they who have made all the troops a present of the warm clothing we so much re quired that is, a good Guernsey shirt and flannel drawers, which are famous things ; also a nightcap, though that will not be much used between the sheets, for such a thing I have not seen since I left Dublin, and God knows when I shall again ; but I hope some time. We are now nearly all served out with another blanket and a great coat, or rather cloak, with a hoed to it. It puts me in mind of the old women's cloaks of former times ; but we don't care, so long as they keep us warm and dry. If you could get a peep at the regiment now, you would hardly known zuwu, as we are all wearing the moustache, or I may say hair, for none of us have shaved since we have been out in the Crimea, so you may guess some of us look like old priests or monks, for we can hardly find the way to our mouths. Blacking and pipeclay are entirely done away with, and, if we can manage to get a wash once a-week, it is quite a luxury, so I leave you to guess how we all are ; let us hope this may soon be over, and, if it please God for us to get some fine wea ther, so that we could manage to get some more guns np, the scale would soon be turned—at least, it is so hoped by all the army, and I expect it is by all at home." _ _ _ The writer of the above letter was with the 50th at the battle of Punniar in 1843, and in the cam paign of the Sutlej in 1845 and 1846 ; engaged at Moodkse, Ferozeshar, and Aliwal ; at the latter place he was wounded ; at the fall of the barracks at Loodianah he escaped unhurt, although there were over 200 of the regiment killed and wounded. THE POSIT' ON OF OFFICERS IN ACTION. THE HIMALAYA. The screw•transport Himalaya is expected to reach Plymouth, from Malta, on Thursday, with 600 invalids and 500 women and children from the army in Turkey. THE AMPHION; Orders arrived at Sheerness yesterday for the crew of the Anophion screw steam-frigate to be paid down ; but, in consequence of a heavy gale of wind blowing from north-west, causing a heavy cross sea in the harbour early in the day, the foul weather signal was made from the flagship, prohibiting all boats from leaving their ships. She will not in consequence be paid until to-day (weather permitting). One six-oared cutter, belonging to one of the ships under the pendant, which left the ship before the signal was made, was blown on shore on the Ordnance ramparts near the pier, and broken up ; fortunately the crew all escaped. A - RravALs AT CONSTANTINOPLE. By advice received yesterday from Constantinople the Metropolitan steamier, the Charity steamer, the Baalbec steamer, the Hydaspes, Norman, Jura, Blake, Alipere, and Robert Lowe had all arrived safely from England, laden with troops, stores, and munitions, and passed on to the Crimea since the IGth ult. COMFORTS FOR THE CRIMEA. Among the numerous little comforts sent out to the Crimea in Lord Ellesmere's yacht, the Countess of Mac clesfield has despatched 700 " housewives," each con taining 12 strong needles of two sizes, 12 metal buttons of two sizes, a large skein of strong black thread, and ono of white ; thus altogether, about 9,000 needles, 9,000 buttons, and 221 b, of thread have been used. Ye3terday the labourers in the Tower, assisted by the fatigue parties furnished by the garrison of the fortress, and upwards of 100 extra workmen, were actively en gaged in despatching commissariat and military stores to the Crimea. The stores principally consisted of warm fur clothing, flannels, blankets, preserved meats, Minis rifles and rifled carbines, sabres, bayonets, revolvers, lances, various articles of accoutrements, horse clothing, nose bags, and picket posts and ropes (halters). There aro now above 25,000 steed of Minid rifles required. The steam-ship Enniskillen arrived at Southampton yesterday from Liverpool. Sho has seen chartered by the French Government for the conveyance of wooden huts to the Crimea, and will proceed there in company with one of the sailing ships similarly laden. The steam ship Queen arrived at Southampton on Sunday from Oporto with n cargo of live oxen and oranges. TuE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. SIMON'S BAY, Oct. 21.—As the fair Robert Peel, mail-steamer, is advertised to sail to-day for England, I shall give you a few hurried lines, and by way of making up a letter wiil just jot down imprimis the present dis position of her Majesty's ships and vessels on this station. To begin, then—The Seringapatam, coal depot ship, with the pendant of Commodore Trotter, and the Dart, tender, are in statu quo in Simon's Bay. The Hydra, Commander Morris, is employed carry ing troops to and from the frontier. The Frolic, 16, Commander Nolloth, is about to pro ceed on a surveying expedition to the mouth of the Orange River. The Penguin, 6, Commander Etheridge, remains in Simon's Bay pro tem. ; while the Norbudda, 12, Com mander Kerr, is the only vessel in the Mozambique. AUSTRALIA. At Sydney, Sept. 22.—Her Majesty's ships Electra, 14, and Calliope, 26 ; and steamers Torch and Acheron. French corvette Constantine. At Port Philip, Sept. 22.—Her Majesty's brig Fan. tome, IG. At Bahia.—Her Majesty's cruiser Spy, and the French corvette Galathie. MISCELLANEOUS. According to the returns made up to yesterday at the Admiralty, her Majesty has 142 vessels of war propelled by steam power afloat and in commission, and 104 sail ing ships—total, 243. Several merchant ships riding in Sheerness harbour drove during yesterday's gale, and fears are entertained that some of them have hooked her Majesty's moorings, which are laid south-east and north-west, from 80 to 90 fathoms from the centre bridles, by which the line•of• THE :MILITIA. The following circular has been issued from the War. office, dated December 23, 1854 : " Sir,—With reference to the circular f rom this de partment of the 14th inst., K (Militia) 42, and the Adju tant-General's memorandum of the 2d inst. enclosed therein relative to the volunteering of meta of be regiment under your command to the cavalry, Foot Guards, infantry of the line, and ordnance corps, I have the honour to acquaint you that, although the Marines aro not mentioned therein, discharges shoeld not be refused to men preferring to trans fer their services to that corps.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, "SIDNEY HERBERT. " Officer Commanding Regiment of Militia." The total number of Militia regiments now out em bodied for permanent duty in the United Kingdom is 54 ; during the present week six more will be embodied, principally Irish regiments, thus increasing the total number to GO. The permanent staff of the Anglesea Militia is now being formed with all expedition. The Hertfordshire Militia assembled at Hatfield on Wednesday last. After receiving their clothing, accou trements, &c., they were marched off to Hertford, under the command of Colonel the Marquis of Salisbury, K.G., there to be stationed for permanent duty—an ar rangement which has been much facilitated by the pre vious establishment of as excellent hospital by the Go vernment. This regiment has, under the arrangements adopted by its noble colonel, been three times recruited beyond its establishment. It has given betwee• ZOO and 400 men to the line siecnits formatinn, 120 of whom have enlisted since May last. The day after their arrival at Hertford the Horse Guards Circular of the 2d of De cember was explained to the men on parade by the Mar quis of Salisbury, when 36 men volunteered for the line. The number at present at head-quarters, including re eroits, is 600 rank' and - - The Royal Cornwall and Devon Miners Militia corps has received orders to assemble at Falmouth for perma nent duty on the 15th of January. The deficiency of number which has been caused by volunteering into re giments of the line will, it is expected, be soon made up, inasmuch as several of the county gentlemen have liberally offered an extra bounty of 21. each for recruits, in addition to the 61. per man offered Toy the Govern ment. In pursuance of instructions from the Horse Guards, the Second or Light Infantry Regiment of King's Own Staffordshire Militia were assembled on parade at Staf ford on Friday, and were addressed by their !major (in the temporary absence of the lieutenant-colonel). After the major had finished, 35 volunteers fell cut. They re spectively selected to serve in the 4th, 17th, 69th, 80th, 88th, and the Royal Marines. The above number is exclusive of 27 men who had during the week volun teered into the Grenadier Glite.rds. THE BAL..4KLAVA RAILWAY CORPS. Sir Francis Iliad has addressed the following letter to his Grace the Duke of Newcastle : My Lord Duke,—lt is stated in the newspapers that you are about to despatch to the Crimea a fleet of seven steam and two sailing ships, laden with navvies and materials fur the constriction at Balaklava of a rail way, which it is expected will be completed by the end of February, and which is intended to enable not only the mortars, and ammunition nowreach ' the batteries which have now ergamu on s‘ the vei b g e h a t eh of t um beer constructed to receive them, but to enable forage, to reach the horses, s p o r l o d v i i e s r i s o , n a s , n d m e s i d e i k e i n o o f , o a u n r d a ag " I have no desire to discuss whetker or not a great ar steh as you propose to con structyet' restoring circulation to that military mass which is stagnant in the Crimea ; bat I venture publicly to submit to you, for as much conside ration as you may deem it worth, the following brief 1 1 description of a road, which, I conceive, might occa sionally be useful in sieges. "Throughout North America, and especially in Ca nada, the new roads, cut through the wilderness, become so deep and sticky during the wet season, that, although well mounted, and not totally unaccustomed to riding, I have more than once been unable in 12 hours to advance more than 20 miles. Indeed, I repeatedly came to little gulleys, gutters, or sloughs of despond mot three feat broad, but yet so soft that it was as much as nay heart could do to get into them, and as much as my horse could do to get out of them. "Now, these miry, boggy lines, along which people had been seen for months crawling like flies across a plate of treacle, are suddenly, and I may almost say nta gically, converted into a road as hard and as good as Regent-street by the following simple process, which is usually adopted as soon as the feeble funds of the young colony can purchase the blessing " A small gang of men with spades aul rammers quickly level one end of the earth road. "As fast as they proceed four or five rows of strong beams or sleepers, which have been brought in the light waggons of the country, are laid down longitudinally, four or five feet asunder, and ao sooner are they in posi tion than from ether waggons stout planks, touching each other, are transversely laid upon them. Front a third series of waggons a thin layer of sand or grit is thrown upon the planks, which instantly assume the appearance of a mere level WAdam road than in practice can ever be obtained. "Upon this new-born road the waggons earrying the sleepers, planks, and sand, convey with perfect ease these three descriptions of materials for its continuance. The work advances literally about as fast as an old gouty gentleman can walk, and as soon as it is com pleted there can scarcely exist a more striking contrast than between the two tenses of what it was, and what it is. "Waggons of all descriptions and horsemen of all ages walk, trot, caster, and gallop over it with indes cribable delight., until, coming to the point at which the finds of the new settlement , have been exhausted, at a single step they plunge from the last plank into the mass of mud alreaciy dt:scribcd. "This plank-read,' ash is tel med in Amirica, usually lasts from eight to twelve years, and, as it is found quite unnecessary to spike the planks to the sleepers, the arrangement admits of easy repairs, which, however, is but seldom required. "In Canada there are many hundred miles of this beautiful description of road broad enough for three or four carriages to travel abreast. "I have the honour to be, my Lord Duke, " Your Grace's most obedient servant, " Oxeudon,.Nerthampton. " F. B. HEAD." TUE DUNMOW FLITCH._Mr. and Mrs. Blackwell, of Cranbrook, Kent, having claimed Mr. W. Harrison Ainsworth's Flitch of Bacon, Mr. E. T. Smith, of Lon• don, has kindly offered (on the same conditions) as a second prize, a Silver Goblet, with a suitable inscription to a second happy couple. Mr. Smith, in his communi cation to the committee, remarks—" The Flitch may be consumed, bat the Goblet will endure, and can be handed down frem parent to child, as a proud trophy of the happiness of the;r ancestors.". TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—But few officers of the British army who have served under fire with their regiments but will concur in the remarks made in the House of Commons some nights since by the Right Hen. the Secretary at War, that the numerous casualties among our officers are attributable to other causes than their uniforms. The proportion of killed and wounded officers in the Sikh wars was as large, if not larger, than in the Crimea, and yet in India their dress assimilated much nearer to that of the privates than will be the case even after the changes now in contemplation have been carried into effect, the only striking difference between them being the colour of their jackets—scarlet and red—and in the offi cers not having crossbelts. But there, as in the Crimea, the same fetal mistake on the part of the officers them selves eccerred, one which the Ressian officers seem to have carefully avoided ; they left their proper places in the rear of their companies, where alone they can see to the steadiness of their men, to closing up blanks made by casualties, and that none but wounded men fall to the rear. They consulted their own tastes, leading their men ; thus placing themselves in the way of their lire, while exposed needlessly to the enemy's. So urgently did an officer who commanded a Queen's regiment in the first Sikh campaign feel the necessity of obviating► this that, prior to taking them into action in the second, he addressed them on the subject, enjoining on officers the great necessity of keeping their places, and on the men that of their• not cheer ing when advancing on the enemy, unless lie gave them the time, as doing so had previously proved a cause of confusion and, consequently, severe loss. He observed that he believed he commanded men who did not require leading ; but, should a neces sity for it arise, he would do so himself—a promise he most nobly kept, for, on the regiment being brought to a stand when charging, he gallantly rushed to the front, cutting down one and pistolling a second Sikh gunner while in the act of loading with grape. At the same moment five of his Akers were personally engaged; but as they had not bees exposed until coming to close quarters, the casualties among them were only 4 out of `el, and the advance, although through a thick jungle, under a heavy fire of both "rape and musketry, was con ducted with the most complete success, and with perfect steadiness, the loss-247 out of 792—not being nearly so severe as might have been expected, nor was it as great as that of other regiments exposed to the same fire. ' On the samo occasion this colonel adopted the expe dient of casing his colours in handsome crimson damask eases, the spearhead and gold tassels on the head of the etaffe showing. This he did in consequence of several officers Laving been struck on a former occasion while carrying them unfurled. Thus cased, the colours were of very material service, being sufficiently conspicuous over the jungle to serve not only as a dressing, but a rallying point, and coast:slot], which would have been fatal, was avoided. Had uniform anything to do with the casualties among our officers, surely the doing away with the present useful and convenient sboulderbelt and sash will not tend to lesien them. They are much prized, having 'ODOR peculiar badges of the British officer among European armies, and worn since the formation of England's pre sent standing army, The private wears a shoulder belt ; whey should not the officer ? More especially as the heavy sword used by our officers is carried with much greater ease and less fatigue suspended from a shoulder than when from a waistbelt, with slings, which are most annoyingly in the way of an officer on foot. The proposed sash, a silk copy of the Prussian silver one, will, from its utter inutility, be but a sorry substi tute for the present one, which serves as a support, also to retain the sword, &c., in place when the wearer is in exercise, to tie up and stop the bleeding of wounds, and in many ether ways.

The Emperor on Saturday passed a review of nearly 20,000 men in the court and garden of the Tuileries and in the Place de Carrousel. By half-past twelve o'clock two divisions of infantry, under the orders of Generals Repond, Gouyon, de St. Loyal, Ripert, and Marulez ; five batteries of artillery, four on foot and one mounted, un d er th e command of General Auvity ; the division of cavalry of General Korte ; the battalion of sapeurs-por a _ piers ; the guard of Paris ; and the gendarmery of the Seine, under the command of General Courand, were drawn up as follows :—Eight lines ofin fantry in the court of the place ; five others, and one of artillery on the Place du Carrousel ; and twenty-four squadrons of cavalry in the garden, opposite each other down the grand alley. The guard did net form part of the troops called out on this occasion. At one o'clock the Em peror made his appearance on horseback, accompa nied by Field-Marshal Nugent, in full Austrian uniform, Marshal Vaillant, and a great number of general officers, all in high boots and white doe skins. A detachment of the ant-gard(s preceded and followed the cortege. In the balconies of the windows of the Salle des Marechaux were to be seen the Empress, the Ladies of the Cou r t, a nu m b er o f persons cf distinction, specially invited ; the Mini sters, the members of the diplomatic corps, and a number of members of the Senate and Legislative Corps. After the Emperor had gone down the lines, where he was loudly cheered, the soldiers of all ranks designated to receive the cross or mili tary medal, were formed in two lines in the court of the Palace, and his Majesty, accompanied by Marshal Magnan, presented to each the mark of honour for which he had been recommended. As soon as that part of the ceremony was terminated, his Majesty placed himself in the court of the Palace, in front of the Pavillon de l'Horloge, and the troops filed off before him, commencing with the infantry ; then came the artillery, and lastly the cavalry. Lond cries of " Five I'Empereur 1" arose as each corps passed by, and the whole of the spectacle presented a sight of the greatest interest from the magnificent appearance of the troops, and their marked enthusiasm. The weather was exceedingly fine, and a vast crowd was collected in every spot from which a view could be obtained. The public were allowed to enter the garden of the Tuileries, and the crowd there was exceedingly great. The infantry present were about 16,000 in number, the cavalry about 2,500, and the artillery upwards of 1,000. Several times during the day the bands of the different regiments played " God Savo the Queen." ACCIDENT ON THE MASTERN COUNTIES RAIL IVAY. We have received from Mr. J. B. Owen, the secre tary of the above company, the following official ac count of an accident which happened to the up•mail train frem Norwich on the night of the 30th ult., at a place called Two Mile Bottom, situated about two miles and a half on the London side of the Thetford station, which resulted iu the death of two persons and injured three others : "In approaching the spot where the accident ocourred the line passes through a short cutting, and then emerges upon a slight ettbai,knunt, which continues up to and beyond the place of accident. All this portion of the railway forms a curve, and is on an incline in the direc tion of London. " A special up-cattle train left the Trowse station at 9.10 p.m., and shunted at Attleborough for the up-mail to pass. The mail train passed Attleborough, and the cattle train followed after the lapse of the usual train. The mail is due to leave Thetford at 11.1 p.m.; it ar rived and left there at 11.7, or six minutes later. It then proceeded on its journey, and came to a stand at Two Mile Bottom, in consequence of the breakage of a jib or cotter of one of the connecting rods of the engine. When the train was brought to a stand the guard went back to give the usual signals, but it seems probable, from the preliminary investigation which has taken place, that he had not got the distance required by the ccm• pany's regulations, and moreover did not place the pro per number of detonating signals on the metals, which he had abundance of time to do. The AA alai passed Thetford at 11.23 p.m., •r 21 minutes after the mail tram has left, but, owing to the regulations of the company not having been attended to, it ran into the mail train at a con siderable speed whilst standing on the line. "The whole of the circumstances are undergoing an investigation, but we regret the following list of casualties : "John Barton (driver of the mail train), who was standin ,, underneath hi s eng i ne at the time attending to the aoken cotter—killed. " Mr. Meager, an assistant to an undertaker, since dead from ietereal injuries. " Mr. Bickiall, Mr. Meagher's nan, slightly bruisei about the head. " The Rev. Mr, Hepworth, of Botesdale, ribs injured anti bruised head, but is doing very favourably. "Goods guard, Cornell, leg fractured." We are informed. that—" Everything possible has been done to alleviate the sufferings of the parties in jured, and they ere going on favourably." At four o'clock yesterday an inquest was opened pro forma, before Robert E. Clarke, Esq., Coroner for the borough of Thetford, at the Railway Tavern, on view of the body of the deceased Burton, who, wo regret to say has left a wife and six children. The corpse was sworn to by his brother, and the jury then proceeded to The Bell, where the ceren2ozy of identification having been gone through with regard to that of Mr. Meagher, the inquiry was adjourned to this day, at 12 o'clock. ARCHITECTURAL EXHIBITION. The ceremony of opening the new Fine-Art Gallery in Bath-street, as the " Scottish Exhibition of Arts and Manufactures connected with Architecture," took place yesterday, under the patronage of the Hon. the Lord Provost and Magistrates, and the patrons, office-bearers, and members of the Architectural Institute of Scotland. Tho Lord Provost occupied the chair. The hall was densely crowded with those of our leading citizens who take a warm interest in the progress of art. The side galleries presented a gay turn-out of the beauty and fashion of Glasgow. After prayer by the Rev. Norman i\l'Leod, the Lord Provost expressed the delight ho experienced in presiding at the inauguration of an Ar chitectural Institute for Glasgow. The attractive works of art here gathered together, pretty nearly approxi mated to what could be seen only in London. Hie lordship hoped, from the interest taken in the institute as indicated by the large lumber present, that Glasgow would, ere long, possess a permanent iestitution. J. W. Guild, Esq., secretary, read the report, which stated that the undertaking was projected on the esponsibilty of a few private gentlemen interested in the advancement of art, who wished to see painting, sculpture, aid architecture united, and who trusted that the public would convert the present experiment into a permanent museum of alt. Tie true relation which painting and sculpture bore to architecture could only be illustrated in such a ball. The report concluded by stating that the arrange ments were still incomplete, but that the directors were anxious that the working classes might be allowed an opportunity dining the holidays of spending part of their time in a place eminently suited to enlighten and instrec them. C. H. Wilson, Esq., referred to the c oatmts . of tile different departments, and apologised ter riot had time to distribute the catalogues. Sir A. Alson moved the adoption of the report. He hoped such ex hibitions would be the means if making them take an interest in whatever was beautiful in nature and art, and that through such exeltione a more elevated stan lard of perfection might be attained. After a graceful all us i on to the working classes, who, he Fuel, were ontiele I to the many privileges here held out for the refinement of the public, taste, the learned sheriff expressed the hope that Glasgow, famed for her commercial enterprise, true loyalty, and patriotic zeal, would respond to the appeal of the directors, so that the exhibitien might be come permanent. R. Stewart, Esq., ex-Lord Pro vost, seconded the motion. Mr. Sheriff Bell felt great pride in being present. O n l oo ki ng aroun d h e was qu i te delighted with the taste and genius displayed in the numerous works before them. He hoped Glasgow was in earnest to wipe away the reproach that we had no repository of the fine arts. In such a place the eye was delighted, the mind improved, and the taste elevated. He concluded by saying that in all the departments taste predominated, and expressed a hope that the sur plus funds would be sufficient to establish a fine arts gal lery. 1 hearty vote of thanks to the chairman, moved by Mr. Salmon, terminated the proceedings. A vocal band, under the leadership of Mr. Helinore, with the band of the "Queen's Own," enlivened the proceedings with select pieces of music.— Glessgew Commonwealth.

Th. following is a translation of the said agreement, dated Nov. 6, 1854 : The Government of the Republic of Ecuador, con sidering that after having effected a division of the Colom bian debt with Venezuela and New Granada, it is indis passable to enter into a separate arrangement of the part which appertains to Ecuador, and having also in view that the Laces previously established relative to this mat. tor have been accepted by the Legislature of 1853, with the exception of sundry modifications submitted for the consideration of British creditors, his Excellency the President of the Republic has authorised Dr. Marcos Espinel, Minister of State for the Home and Foreign Departments, and in exercise of that of Finance, to pro ceed to effect a new arrangement (of the aforesaid foreign debt) with Mr. Elias Mocatta, the duly empowered agent of th e C o l om bi an bondholders in London, t h e sa id commissioners, after having examined their respective powers, have agreed to regulate the debt which corre sponds to the Ecuador on the terms and conditions con tained in the 28 following Articles : Art. I.—The Republic of the Ecuador acknowledges in favour of the holders of Colombian ponds of the loans to Colombia in 1824 and 1826 the sum of 1,824,0001., being the equivalent of 1,424,0001. for the 2i per cent. which was adjudicated to the Ecuador of the Colombian debt, and 400,0001. sterling which is added thereto in exchange of the 1,000,0001. sterling condoned of the arrears of interest. Art. 2.—At latest in the month of September of 1855 the Government of Eucader will issue in London bonds of the said amount of 1,824,000/. sterling.

S.—The Commission of the Government of Eetla• dor, in accordance with the Bondholders' Committee, will determine the form to be given to the bonds, the classes into whick they are to be divided, the value they are to represent, and any other requisites and pseaxu tions which may be deemed necessary to secure the best interests of Ecuador axd tke creditors. Art. 4.—Accordingly, as the Ecuadorian Commission issue the bonds, it will take up and cancel the old Co lombian bends for the 21 per cent. appertaining to this exchange ; so that the new bonds may represent, in ad dition to the amount of the others, the proportion which corresponds to each in the increase of the 400,0001. sterling. Art. s.—The Ecuadorian Commission cannot issue new bonds which are not precisely in exchange for their equivalent in the portion of the Colombian debt adjudi cated to Ecuador ; it being clearly understood that any difference which may arise from the loss of any of the old bonds is to be in favour of Ecuador. If it should result that more bonds are presented than the amount of 211 per cent. of the debt, the Ecuador is not bound to recog nice the surplus, as in the division of the Colombian debt its obligation only extends to pay the 211 per cent. Art. 6.—The New Ecuadorian Bonds are to bear 1 per cent. per annum indefinitely, so long as the Customs of Guayaquil do not exceed 400,000$ per annuls; when said Customs of Guayaquil produce more than that sum, then the quaster part of said increase is to be paid to the bondholders, although it augments the interest beyond the 1 per cent.

Art. 10. The said agent and the governor of Guaya quil are to be set apart, monthly, the quarter part of the amount of the notes on hand (pagarcs) of the mer chants in favour of the Customs.

Additional Paragraph.—lf the funds arising out of the notes of band of the Customs, and endorsed to the agent of the bondholders, are misapplies' or lost while in his possession, this loss shall be for account of the bondholders, and in no manner shall the Gloyernment be responsible therefor. Art. 11.—The oisligation which is imposed on the Custom-house of Guayaquil is understood to extend to all Custom-houses which may in future be established in any of the provinces of the Republic, always excepted that of Manta, in the province of Manabi, which is not included in this treaty.

Art. 14.—An amount of notes of hand (pagares) shall also be takea for the sum which the Governor and the agent of the bondholders may deem sufficient to cover the exchange, or other cost of remittances, which may be deemed the least onerous and safest for Ecuador. This obligation ceases when the interest of 1 per cent. io pro vided for. Art. 15. If, on making up the accounts of the customs each year the amount exceeds 400,000 dollars, the Go vernment and the agent will settle the surplus which is due to the creditors in the corresponding year, con- formably with the sixth article of the present agreement, and they will take care to remit within the two first months of the succeeding year the said surplus. Art. 16.
