Hitherto the entire property of the shareholders in joint- Istock Banks has been liable for the debts and engagements of the Bank of which they were proprietors, and the zisks and inconveniences which have occasionally occurred therefrom have necessarily deterred many from investing their capital in shares in such undertakings. The Joint-stock Banking Companies Amendment Acts, passed expressly to remove this uncertain risk, and to give confidence in Joint-stock Banks, have entirely obviated this objection as regards Banks of limited liability, and the " Metropolitan and Provincial Bank (limited)," has been established under the express provisions of those Acts, so that no shareholder therein can possibly be liable for any sum beyond the amount of the shares ho holds. The following tabular statement of the business results of four of the London Joint-stock B an k s t o the 30th Juno last, clearly indicates their advancing success, and the present market value of their stares. g ci fa cd 8 Joint-Stock Banks. 111 74 t"8 • •e: A ,).

The Liverpool Commercial Banking Company, originally established with unlimited liability, have also taken advan tage of the n.ew principle, and the following is an extract from the lt,eport presented at the General Meeting held on the 9th of. March last :—" It is in a high degree pleasing to the Dirrxtors to be enabled to state, as they confidently do, that ttte principle of limited liability' adopted by the B an k Las SO fully justified their hopes. The general business of the Bank has never been better•; no branc,h of it has suffered ; nu the contrary, new and valuable accounts aro added, bringing an increase of business, while some substantial and v aluable proprietors, wh o o bj e cted to hold shares under unlimited liability,' have joined the Bank as shareholders; the number of proprietors is increased, and the price of the Bank's shares shows that they are considerably enhanced is public estimation." Powers are taken in the articles of association to estab lish branrh banks in the metropolis and the provinces, as soon as „he business operations o f th e Bank justify its ex tension,.

Foster and Mr. Haywood, in 1849 ; Messrs. Bazal getto and Haywood modified, extended, and con tinued it, upon paper, in 1854 ; the Illctropolitan Board of Works, when it commenced its career on Jan. 1, 1856, took it into consideration ; Mr. Bazal gette remodelled the plan in the same year; a Go vernment commission, consisting of Messrs. Galton, Simpson, and Blackwell, reported for and against the plan in 1857 ; Messrs. Bazalgette, Hawksley, and Bidder again reported for and against the Go vernment report; and, finally, Mr. Bazalgette, as chief engineer to the sewer parliament, began to carry out his thrice remodelled project in 1858. The works which the board and their friends in spected yesterday, and which some 1,500 vestrymen propose to inspect to-day, were chiefly the two great outfall channels, north and south—ono in tho Bark ing marshes, and the other in the Erith marshes, 11 miles below London-bridge. It would take a month to go carefully over all these new sewer works, and therefore a brief description of them, drawn from former observation, may be useful to explain the relation which the part seen bears to the part not seen. On the north side of the Thames there are three main tunnels—the high level, just completed; the middle level, not long begun by Messrs. Brassey and Co. (the progress of which, in the part along Oxford-street, will be checked next year, out of re gard to the Exhibition traffic) ; and the low level, only planned out, much of which it is intended to carry through the proposed Thames embankment. On the south side of the Thathes there are two main tunnels—the high level, with an important fork, called the Effra branch ;. and the low level, not yet begun. These five main tunnels, with their branches on both sides of the riyer, some of which will help to drain the districts thoy pass through, will be at least 71 miles long, and will cost, with sewage filtering reservoirs, pumping stations, engines, &c., at least three millions sterling. About five-and-twenty miles of these tunnels are now com pleted, and the contractors are going on rapidly with the lengths left to be constructed. The high level sewer, just completed on the north side of the Thames, begins at Hampstead with a tunnel 4 feet in diameter, and extends, increasing here and there in size, until it reaches something like a diameter of 97 3 - by 12 feet at the point were it joins the river Lea at Old Ford. Its course is from Highgate, down the Holloway-road, under the Great Northern Railway and New River cut to Stoke Newington, and then through Hackney and the Victoria-park to its typed= across the river Lea. It has just been complete "ng a round about tunnel nine miles long, an. •le owing up in its course the open part of the Old kney Brook. Half a million of cubic yards of earth have been dug out to form its channel; it has sucked up 40 million of bricks, 200,000 bushels of Portland ce ment, 350,000 bushels of lime, 100,069 cubic yards of concrete, 17 toss of hoop iron, and has employed 1,500 men from week to week. The great middle level sewer has been begun by the contractors at both ends—namely, at Old Ford and at Bayswater. It will have three branches, called the Piccadilly, Dover-street, and Coppice-row branches. The main lino begins in an egg-shaped tunnel, about 4 feet in height, and is to increase in size, here and there, until it ends in a circular tun nel 101 feet in diameter. Its course will be from Paddington to Nutting-hill, along Oxford-street, through Bloomsbury and Clerkenwell, along Old street, across Slioreditch. through Bethnal-green, and under the Regent's Canal to Old Ford, where it runs for some distance side by side with the high level sewer. The contractors estimate that about half a million cubic yards of earth will have to be dug out for this channel, and that it will suck up about 55,000 cubic yards of concrete, and 40 mil lion of bricks. Thu number of workpcople em ployed in it will be at least 1,000. Both of these sewers are wide enough at their junction-end, where they run for some distance under a raised clay and concrete embankment, to admit a horse and cart, and you could ride up them on horseback for miles. Here it is that several great " overflow chambers" are built, where the storm waters, when they reach a certain height, can flow down into the river Lea below, and thence into the Thames above Blackwall. The northern outfall sewer, which, when com pleted, is to convey the combined streams of the high and middle level channels, and the stream of sewage to be pumped into it from the low level sewer, stretches across the marshes to Barking creek. It will be about five miles long, and it is that portion of the work which was most closely examined yesterday. For one mile it w ill consist of two lines of tunnel enclosed in a raised exbank ment ; and for the remaining distance of four Ones, of three lines of tunnel, each nine feet in diameter. It will cross over seven streams, including the rive.' Lea; it will pass under the Eastern Counties Rail way, and over the North Woolwich and Tilbury and Southend lines in aqueducts. It is estimated that 1,121,090 cubic yards of peat and soft ground will have to be cut out and piled up to form the embank ment ; that 629,000 cubic yards of concrete will be required for the same purpose ; that the tunnels will suckup about 27,000 rods of reduced brickwork, 120,000,000 of bricks, 1,650,000 bushels of cement, 3,834,000 bushels of lime, and 4,000 tons of wrought and cast iron for the bridges over the streams and railways. A concrete foundation is being laid down for the brickwork to be built upon, much in the style in which the old Roman roads were most pro bably made; and, where the marshes are very soppy brick piers are being constructed to support the tunnels and embankment. This great outfall sewer will carry all the London sewage gathered from the north side of the Thames into a covered reservoir capable of containing seven millions of cubic feet of sewage, and corresponding with a covered reservoir on the Plumstead side for the southern sewage, capable of containing four millions of cubic feet. Both these reservoirs will be raised some 21ft. above the level of the outfall sewers, and the streams will be pumped into them. The final discharge of the fluid sewage at high water—the solid sewage being depozited in the reservoirs—will take place through covered chan nels buried under water, and communicating' with the centre and bottom of the river. %The southern high-level tunnel begins at Clap ham-common, and winds its way through Stockwell and Camberwell to Peckham, where it is joined by the Effra branch, which comes down from Dulwich. The two tunnels continue from Peckham, through New-cross until they end in Deptford-creek, where they are provided with storm overfluw-chambers. The whole length of this high level sewer is be tween nine and ten miles, and about two.thiois, at different points of its course, is completed. It begins, like most of the others, as a circular tunnel, about 4 feet in diameter, and increases in size here and there, until it ends in a diameter of at least 10 feet. When finished it will cut off and divert the upland waters which now flood those low and tide-locked districts on the south side, which are far below the level of the river. It is estimated that this intercepting sewer will suck up 82,000 cubic yards of brickwork, 30,000,000 of bricks, 200,000 bushels of cement, 400,000 bushels of lime, 15,000 cubic yards of concrete, and will require more than 500,000 cubic yards of ground to be cut out, and nearly the same quantity of earth and materials to be carted. The southern low level intercepting sewer, like its brother on the north side, is at present only mapped out on paper. Its course will be from Put ney through Battersea, Brixton, Camberwell, the Old Kent-road, and across the market-gardens to Deptford. It will be provided with a couple of storm overflow branches running into the Thames at Vauxhall and Deptford, and a north or Ber mondsey branch, which will gather up all the old sewers running through that district. 'rhis end, of ..... STAMPED ....sd. the low level sewer will be at least 201 t. below the end of the high level sewer, and pumping power of 600 horses will be required, as on the north side, to raise the stream into the great outfall tunnel. -The dreat southern outfall tunnel is now about two-thirds completed. The length of- this sewer channel will be. about seven miles and a half, and its diameter about 111-ft. Its depth from the surfaco in many parts is very great, especially about Woolwich;. and much of it has - been ---- eunstru - cted, mole-like, underground, without many of - the inhabitants being a.waro of its e x istence. Its course is from the Deptford pumping station, through Greenwich and Wool wich,'Under the Erith marshes, to the covered reservoir. It is estimated that about 500,000 cubic yards of ground will have to be dug out for this channel, and that about. the same quantity of earth and materials will have to be carted. It will suck up 100,000 cubic yards of brickwork, 37,000,000 of bricks, and 600,000 bushels of cement. These works, from their commencement, have given weekly em ployment to upwards of 2,000 men: The inclination of both the outfalls—north and south—is only two feet in a mile. The greatest sight, concentrated in one spot, for touch-and-go- spectators and stout members of the board intent upon getting over the ground, and not very learned in engineering works, is the pumping station works ut Deptford. Here are 3,1 acres of grou tad dug into pits 30 feet deep, filled with every variety of shoring timber in every variety of posi tion; coffer darns being constructed in the middle of the creek, divers working 40 feet under water, engineers and engines toiling above, piles being driven in, iron sewer pipes three or four feet in diameter, stacks of bricks, cart loads of clay and mud, and hundreds of men too busy to look even at official visitors. This was the spot where the day's excursion in tramway trucks and steam tugs came to a triumphant close, and where a few of the mem bers, intent upon showing their zeal, asked ques tions that puzzled all the engineersi to answer. These members were doubtless very well meaning men, but evidently not too much informed upon the works being carried on in their name with their corporate zeal and sanction. Like all members of corpora .tions they must be largely in the hands of their pi •actical officers; and while they possess such hard w 4 wking and conscientious engineers as Messrs. Bazalgette, Grant, Cooper, and Lovick, and such contrac tors as Messrs. Brassey, Webster, and Aird, the ratepnyers may know that the public money is being carefully expended. TILE NAVY. .►-- The Warrior, 40, screw, Capt. A. H. Cochrane, C. 8., will be removed from her present berth along, side Portsmouth Dockyard to-day, and placed at moorings in the harbour, to teat our compasses. The programme of the ship's future movements, as understood to be arranged at present, is that she goes oat of harbour to Spithead to-morrow, makes a preliminary trial on Monday next, which will probably be a run out clear of the Nab and back. If all goes well with the ship's machinery, of which there is little doubt, the speed of the ship will be tested at the measured mile as quickly as possible afterwards. These trials fairly over, she will then be despatched on her sea-trial trip as soon as she can be made ready for the purpose. , The Volcano, fitted with machinery and tools as a floating factory, was taken out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday, in charge of the officers of the Reserve and Engineering Departments to test the working of her engines, &c. She will now take on , board the necessary materiel to enable her to carry out the repairs required to the machinery of vessels in the fleet to which she may be attached. The lighter Sinbad, Moore master, sailed from Plymouth yesterday with stores for the eastern dockyards. The paddlewheel steam storeship Dee, at Ply mouth, is receiving stores and navigating gear. She will take her departure about Saturday, with Commander Paul and a party for Pembroke, to rig and navigate the screw steamsloop Shearwator, 11, to Plymouth. Her Majesty's paddlcwhoel steam sloop Geyser, 6, Commander Jackson, took on board supernume raries, marines, and seamen en Menclay afternoon, and left Plymouth yesterday, for Portsmouth. Rear-Admiral Erskine's division of the Channel fleet, consisting of the Edgar, 89, screw (flagship), Capt. G. P. Mends ; the Hero, 89, screw, Capt. A. P. Ryder; and the Trafalgar, 86, screw, Capt. J. Dickson, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning under steam, and brought up in line on reaching the anchorage. The Edgar discharged her powder and shell yesterday at Spithead, preparatory to going into harbour. The starboard division of the Channel fleet, un der Admiral Smart, which left Ireland eight days previously, and arrived at Plymouth yesterday rooming, parted company on Saturday evening with the port division, consisting of the Hero, the Edgar, and the Trafalgar, which are bound for Spithead. They entered the Sound in the follow ing order :—The screw steamship Revenge, 39, Capt. C. Fellowes, flag of Rear-Admiral Sir Robt, Smart, K.H., white at the mizen ; the Centurion, 80, Capt. H. D. Rogers, C. 8.; the Conqueror, 99, Capt. E. S. Sotheby, C.B. ; and the Aboukir, 86, Capt. C. A. F. Shadwell, C.B. The naval transport Manosuvrer, Mr. Follett master, sailed from Chatham yesterday evening with a full cargo of stores for Sheerness and Wool wich Dockyards. Considerable progress is being made at Chatham in the construction of the Achilles, 50, a large por tion of her keel being already completed. The works, however, cannot be carried on with the vigour required by the authorities in consequence of the delay experienced in obtaining the iron from those firms which have contracted to supply it to the Admiralty. In fact, the non-fulfilment of their contracts by the great iron companies has been the principal reason of the Achilles having progressed so slowly. At the present moment the authorities are ready to take on several hundred additional mechanics, but are unable to do so in consequence of the want of the proper materials to proceed with the work. The reason assigned for the slowness with which the deliveries of iron take place is the stagnation caused to the iron trade in the north by the late strikes. At the present time there aro only about 200 hands em ployed on the vessel, but as soon as the works are in full oc emtion at least 1,000 mechanics, labourers, and boys wi.ll be employed about her. The wooden caisson now at the entrance to the dock in which she is under construct: on, a portion of which has been cut away to give her at; increased length, is to be re • moved, and an iron caie son substituted, at a cost of about £3,000. The Achilles will be slightly larger than either the Warrior or the Black Prince, the only difference, however, being that her beam will be slightly broader, and her floor somewhat flatter than in those vessels. By this means her tonnage will be increased from 6,039 tons to 6,089 tons, and her displacement from 8,625 tons to 9,030 tons. All her other dimensions, and the essential features of her construction are exactly the same as those of the Warrior—subject, however, to such alterations and improvements as the experience in constructing this class of vessels may suggest. Some experimental firing took place at Portsmouth yesterday, from one of the Britannia's 32. pounders, fixed in one of the ship's cutters. Thirteen rounds were fired from the gun, and the result appeared to prove that the plan suggested by Lieut. Nares, who 'superintended the firing, could be effectually carried out in smooth water. By this method, where boats are sent into shoal water, the heavy 32-pounders of the ship could be brought to do service even in an ordinary cutter, in lieu of its usual 9 or 12-pounders. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Dr. James A. Alla n, NV • 4 8, and 31441 k; Clapp, Nichol A s T, Connolly, W. F, BREVET.

Their mem bers are gem erally considered to be noisy and vulgar, with narrow views and a vast amount of self-asser tion. What little they do they parade before the world, and are never so happy as when their ac tions, quarrels, and discussions are fully reported in their parochial organs. Of these latter newspapers the metropolis can now show between '2O and 30, from the City Press to the Ts ingsland Advertiser. The Metropolitan Board of Works, which we shall not insult, we hope, when we call it a sifted upper parish parliament, has been singularly free from this desire fer publicity. It has now been in existence for nearly six y ears , and yet during that time it has never courted the attention of the Lon don press. It has carried on its weekly debates in the council chamber of Guildhall, and its business arrangements in an old house in Soho-square, while something very like a palace has been preparing for its reception in Spring -gardens. It has cut a few new thoroughfares, altered the names of a few streets for better or worse, issued its reports from time to time, collected its special rates and spent them, talked a good deal, as all repre sentative assemblies will do, and that is all_ Those journals which thought proper to report its debates were welcome to its benches ; but its great work — the Metropolitan Main Drainage Scheme—which is to immortalise a much respected engineer, and laurels some /16 picked yes crown with everlasting trymen, was largely kept in the background. For some years it has been the custom of the board to make an ,annual inspection of those vast under ground sewer-works in the outskirts of London, which most ratepayers hear of through the tax collector, but seldom see or understand. At what period these mysterious oineial visits were made to the unsavoury regions of sewage, few people, except cabmen and hotel-keepers were aware. The work was a mystery, and the inspection was made a mystery also. Some restless ratepayers goaded on excitable vestrymen to declare in open vestry that the unruly offspring of Lord Llanover was a pernicious sham, and that there were no new sewers being constructed anywhere except in the imagination of a few deluding draughtsmen. Whether the recent contest between Mr. Thwaites and the Right Hon. W. Cowpor for the management of the proposed Thames Embankment has put the Metropolitan Board of Works upon its mettle ; or whether some discreet friend has whis pered in the ears of the Sewer Lords that further secrecy would be indecent and impolitic, it is im possible to say, but the annual inspection of the great main drainage works yesterday was attended by so many running historians in the shapo of "special correspondents," that the public will no longer be uninformed on a deeply interesting sub ject. If the history of the Loudon sewerage system was elaborately written, it would be necessary to quote Magna Charta and the laws of Romney Marsh. It dates back some five centuries, and deals with a legislation whose aim was to preserve the existing watercourses from any obstruction. As houses became built over the metropolitan area, and population increased, these watercourses, notwith= standing the severe prohibitions against using them as receptacles for sewage, became robbed of their virgin purity. When they notoriously ceased to flow as limpid streams and purling brooks, they were slowly and unwillingly covered over by the local authorities. From this moment they became 6c:was in every sense of the term, although it was not until the beginning of the present century that any miscellaneous discharge into them was made legal. All the acts were very defective for house drainage ; and most of the local acts enforced the construction of cesspools. About 1810 there must have been two thousand cesspools in London, and their increase was only checked by mechanical im provements in connection with an enlarged water supply. The old downward, or Thames seeking main sewers of London, at the present time, are about 170 miles long; and they run into the river at various points, through about 180 outlets on the north and south side. The district and private sewers which join these main channels must be 1,600 miles long within the metropolitan boundary; and the drain-pipes—those smaller veins which again join the district arteries—must be 4,000 miles long within the same limits. The district sewers, as their title implies, are governed by district boards, or committees elected by the various parish vestries; while the main sewers are formally handed over, in trust, to the Metropolitan Board of 'Works. Some sewer engineers quarrel about the proper definition of a main sewer, and hold that the channel is only properly so called when it follows the line of an ancient watercourse. In this case London would have few main sewers except the Fleet, the London-bridge sewer, which has usurped the channel of the old Walbrook, and the King's Scholars' Pond sewer, which is all that is left of that ancient bourne or rivulet that meandered pleasantly from Hampstead through Mayfair into the Thames, and gave us the corrupted name of Marylebone, or the brook of St. Mary. We may add the great Ranelagh sewer to this list, which repre sents the Westbourne and the Effra, on the Surrey side, and we shat' then have nearly all the main sewers based upon old natural channels. The artifi cial main sewers which swell the trust property of the Metropolitan Board of Works are only main sewers by Act of Parliament. All these great downward channels may be de scribed roughly as funnel-shaped —the narrow end being at the source in the hills, the broad end being in the valley where it discharges into the river. The velocity of their currents varies from one to three miles an hour. The most important of them discharge, at certain periods of the day, in dry weather, from 1,000 to 2,000 cubic feet of sewage per minute, the greatest height being generally main tained during the hours between nine in the morn ing and five in the afternoon. At other periods of the day the same sewers rarely discharge more than one-fourth of this quantity. The sizes of these under ground tunnels at different points of their course are constructed so that they may convey the waters flowing through them with no prospect of floods and consequent bursting, and yet with no unneces sary waste of tunnelling. Most of them are in a very defective condition, especially at the roof and the base; and some of them are still black un covered ditches. Mr. Bazalgette, the chief engineer of the Metropolitan Board of Works, in a recent report, estimates the cost of repairing these tribu tary sewers at half-a-million sterling. A London population of nearly 3,000,000 daily defiling the Thames through these more or less de fective tributary sewers, is the real creator of this great main drainage scheme. The plan is chiefly one of interception—that is to say, the new sewers will stretch like a girdle round London, cutting through these various downward sewers, at different levels on the north and south side of the river, and carrying the sewage into the Thames at a point be tween Barking and Plumsteafl. The plan has had mu)? opponents, and 11a8 many still, but no scheme / 4 L ,Z; V • . :••• i. 4 • . , ,• 4 d Tiy ,k) -.. . fos- 1 / 4 p• 'e ,i bl its ~...-, ‘..... • i3O , k\sik : ~,v - , ' . wt M" , , . ~ . • , It-, .• •,,,,,,,, N : * Ati i . ; 4 , ' 43 * ( .4.

Eyre, has been so great that the force has been con -1 siderably augmented, and now includes not only Ithe troops of the Line, of whom it was formerly exclusively composed, bet also men of good charac ter selected from the RoyalE nginecrs and the Royal Marines. The force, which is under the direction of a superior noncommissioned officer, whoriVes his orders direct from Major - Gen. Eyre, numbers rather more than 100 men, who are distinguish e d from the other troops by wearing a numbered badge on the arm, when on police duty. To any one ac quainted with the riotous and uproarious scenes frequently, enacted by the military at ,Chatham a short time since the improvement which has re cently taken place is most striking. ,Although there are often as many as 5.000 and 6,000 troops taking their exercise in the streets of Chatham during the evening, so excellent are the arrangements that a military bravel or disturbance is now almost un known, the slightest disorder on the part of any of the troops subjecting the offenders to be immedi ately apprehended and taken to the guardroom. The beerhouses which abound in the purlieus of the garrison, where most of the riotous behaviour on the part of the:military had its origin, are now placed i under the surveillance of the police, who visit them I at frequent intervals during the day and night, iu order to ascertain 'that no drunken soldiers are har boured in them after the hour at which they are bound to be in barracks. The result of the measures has been that drunkenness, absence, and other mili tary offences are steadily on the decrease in the garrison, while the most serious of military Crimes —that of desertion—also shows a diminution. The officers of the garrison are alive to the importance of providing rational and elevating amusements for the troops. A gymnasium is in course of erection, .and an American bowling-green has also been opened at the barracks. ' The 2d (Queen's) Regiment, under the command of Col. Addison, were inspected on Southsea-com mon yesterday by Major-Gen. Lord W. Paulet, C.B. The regiment received the Major-General in line, afterwards breaking into open column right in front, and opening out to double - distance for inspec tion. The regiment then marched past in slow and quick time, reformed line on its original alignment, and went through the manual, platoon, and review exercises, followed by a series of battalion move ments, all performed with great precision and steadi ness. At the close of the proceedings Lord Paulet addressed the regiment at some length, and said, in conclusion, " I am proud to have you under my command. Yon are certainly the most efficient re giment I have seen." The regiment paraded eight companies, each npwards of GO rank and file. The uniformity in size of the men, and their steadiness and freedom of movement in marching past, excited much favourable comment from the spectators, mili tary and civil, on the ground. The corps of Royal Marines Light Infantry being several hundred men below its original complement, recruiting for that branch of the service is being vigorously carried out, and numbers of fine young men are almost daily arriving at the head quarters of the respective divisions, sent up from various parts of the country. After being finally approved they are despatched to the Royal Marine battalion at Deal, to undergo their required course of train ing before being attached to head quarters. The following officers have been detached from duty at the several stations to superintend recruiting for the Royal Marines, at the stations named : Lieut.-Col. W. C. P. Elliot, Pontefract ; Lieut.- Col. W. S. Aslett, Wolverhampton ; Lieut.-Col. R. Parke, Bath ; Major W. F. Foote, Bradford ; Major F. G. Pym, Derby; Captain H. H. Good, Aylesbury; Capt. E. H. Cox, Bedford; Capt. B. IL Herrick, Cipping Norton ; Capt. E. C. Darnville, Exeter ; Capt. H. G. J. Davies, Liver pool ; Capt. C. Louis, London ; Capt. G. Naylor Ludlow ; Capt. J. A. Stewart, Manchester ; Capt J. Poore, St. Alban's ; Capt. H. S. Harrison, Salis bury ; and Capt. N. W; de Conrcy, Sheffield. It appears that the force of artillery now col lected at Watley, near Brentwood, •is about 700 strong. Good conduct medals have just been pre sented by Major-General Sir R. Dacres, com mandant at Woolwich, to Gunners Summers and White, the former having been in the service 21 and the latter 20 years. A gymnasium is now in course of erection at the barracks, 1,000 having been appropriated for the purpose. It appears from plans produced to Gen. Dacres on his recent visit by Capt. Clarke, RE., that other new build ings are proposed, which will consist of a canteen, boys and girls' schools, men's schoolrooms, school master's and mistress's quarters, sergeants' reading room and mess-room, lecture-room, and a magazine. General Dacres approved the plans, which involve an outlay of £6,000. A circular was yesterday received at 'Woolwich from the Horse Guards, directing three non-com missioned officers of the Royal Artillery to be de spatched to Melbourne, to instruct the Militia Artillery in the use of the Armstrong guns. APPREHENSION OF A RAIL 11 7 -4 Y DEF.AULTEB. In February, 1860, the Eastern Counties Rail way authorities at London announced that Algernon Sydney Lumby, a clerk in their employ, had ab sconded; and in the warrant issued for his appren sion he was charged with taking with him £lOO, the property of his employers. From the very earnest manner in which he has been hunted up and looked for by the company's police-superinten dent, Mr. Kent, it is thought that the amount appropriated is more than £lOO. Mr; Kent has visited the continent in:search of his man ; and after full many a fruitless journey in this country, having travelled " some thousands of miles"—his own expression—during the period of a year and nearly eight months, in which Lumby has been at large, he has at length succeeded in apprehending the missing defaulter at the fashionable watering place of Scarborough, where he has been resident during the summer season. He is a musical man, and at an early part of the summer he took an engagement as pianist at a music room attached to the Old Spa Inn, and known as the St. George's Hall. He was announced in the bills as " Mr. Sydney Staples, pupil of Professor Sterndale Bennett." The com pany of performers with whom he was associated have been chiefly buffo singers and dancers, rather above the vulgar stamp of similar artists. While in Scarborough he has been living in a quiet, orderly, respectable manner, his wife residing with him in a cottage in the upper part of the town. his appre hension was Drought about as follows :—A few days ago, a gentleman who was perionally acquainted with Lumby, and was acquainted with the fact of his having absconded, was visiting Scarborough ; and amongst other " lions" of the place, he went to the Casino or music-room above-named, for an even ing's entertainment. He was at once struck with the resemblance the pianist bore to the missing clerk, Lumby. The only difference appeared to be, that really Lumby's forehead was rather bald, but the pianist's cranium was covered all over. How ever, on his return home, he saw Mr. Kent, the officer above named, and mentioned his suspicio n . Mr. Kent at once came down to Scarborough, Mr. an d on Saturday evening last, in comp an y force, Roberts, superintendent of the S a west to the scene of L u mby's musitccslr a (at t he l end of one labours. d Af h te is r satisfying himself that ke ha d dience), and game, Mr. Kent went of the songs, so as not ner, two shaking to hands together apparently very cordial d isturb ntro Juced hly.
