Merry, in connection with this meeting : "My cause of complaint against Mr. Merry is that in the Free Handicap of the Leamington Annual Steeplechase, "Acceptances to be signified," he placed my horse Penarth in the acceptances without my authority ; and that when I Saw the acceptances in Bell's Life I immediately wrote to Mr. Merry, complained, and desiring him to have the same at once rectified. To this he paid no attention, but entered Penarth in the card and lists of the meeting as accepting. I consider such conduct as highly blameable.

FORCING ORDERS FOR GOODS.—James Berrett, 6, George-street, Hampstead-road, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with obtaining by means of forged orders a quantity of goods, of the value of £2O, with intent to defraud Messrs. Cope and Collinson, 53, Berwick-street, brass founders. Mr. Fox Dutton said that on the 21st of March last prisoner came to Messrs. Cope's . warehouse in Berwick street, Oxford-street, and presented an order for a quantity of goods from a Mr. Greer. He said he wanted some of the goods, and they were given to him by witness, as he believed the order to be genuine. He had since ascertained that neither Mr. Greer nor the foreman had sent the order, which purported to be signed by the latter, Mr. Greer being a customer of Messrs. Cope. On the 22d of March the pri soner brought a second order for some more goods—brass table fastenings, &c.—which purported to be signed by the foreman of Mr. Greer. On the 25th of the same month the prisoner brought a third order for 4 dozen table fastenings and 48 sockets, which was signed as before; and on the same day another for 10 dozen brass coat hooks and 2 dozen table fastenings. The prisoner had had all the goods, of the value of about £2O. After the last order was presented the fraud was discovered. Frederick Charles Meyrick, in Mr. John Green's employ, said none of the orders were in his handwriting or Mr. Greer's. The prisoner had two years ago been in Mr. Greer's employ as a polisher. He (witness) never sent for the goods, neither had they been at Mr. Grecr's place, 169, Holborn. Mr. Greer, who was an upholsterer, dealt at Messrs. Cope's. The first witness said prisoner told him that he had a Large job at the Wellington College, where he was at work for Mr. Greer. Sergeant White, 16 D, said there were numerous other charges to be preferred against the prisoner, two for forgery, one for larceny of £5O worth of jewellery, &c. The prisoner was then remanded. HOSPITAL FOR COZVSUMPTION AND DISEASES OF THE CHEST, BEOMPTON. A quarterly court of the governors of this valuable charity was held in the Board-room of the hospital on Thursday afternoon—the Rev. Sir H. Foulis, Bart, Y.P., in the chair. Amongst the governors present were Sir Peter Van-Notten Pole, Bart., the Hon. Arthur Kinnaird, M.P., Lieut.-Gen. the Hon. T. Ashburnham, Capt. the, Hon. Francis Maude, R.N., Mr. Thomas Hugan, 'Mr. J. H. Wilson, Mr. R. C. L. Bevan, Dr. Dickson• Mr. John Ball, Dr. Williams, Mr. F. J. Augarde, Mr. Thomas Howard, Mr. Charles Few, Rev. W. W. Robinson, M.A., Dr. Cotton, Dr. Pollock, the Rev. W. Niven, 8.D., Mr. W. Thomas, Mr. Francis Ede. The minutes of the last court having been confirmed, the ab stract of the minutes of the committee of manage ment for the past quarter was read, after which the secretary read the following report of the board of management : " The committee of management report with satisfaction that since the last quarterly meeting this charity has continued to be the means of affording extensive benefit to the large class of per sons who suffer from consumption and other diseases of the chest. The committee, however, re gret to have to state that there has been of late a falling off in the receipts of the hospital, the income during the past quarter having been nearly £6OO less than the ordinary expenses. As there are nearly 200 in-patients, and some hundreds of out-patients constantly under treatment in the institution,the an nual expenditure is, even with due economy, necessa rily very great; and as the charity is wholly dependent upon the contributions of the public, the committee are compelled frequently to renew their appeals for assistance. This they do most earnestly at the pre sent time especially, that they may be provided with the means of meeting as far as possible the increased demands upon the charity which are con sequent upon the greater sufferings and privations of the sick poor during the winter season. The com mittee notice, with much sorrow, the death of one of the earliest and warmest friends of the charity, Sir John Forbes, physician to the royal house hold, who had been one of the consulting phy sicians to this hospital, and a member of the committee of management, from the commence ment. The committee also report, with sincere regret, that Dr. Cursham having found that, consistently with other engagements, he could no longer discharge his duties as physician with satisfaction to himself, has placed his resigna tion in their hands. A vacancy has thus been created in the list of physicians, to which Dr. Pol lock has been appointed. The committee report that the following legacies have been announced to them since the last court, viz., from the late Mr. Joseph W. Draffen, £250; Mr. John Watson, £100; and Mr. George Smith, £lOO, duty free. The number of new in-patients admitted since the 15th of August was 269 ; discharged, many greatly benefited, 220; died, 34 ; new out-patients, 1,571 ; being an increase of 308 compared with last quarter. A letter of condolence was ordered to be written to the family of the late Sir John Forbes, and the thanks of the governors were voted to Dr. Cursham for his long and valuable services, coupled with an expression of regret at his retirement. The proceedings terminated by a cordial vote of thanks to the chairman. The supplies of produce is seasonably extensive.

The following document was drawn up on Thurs day on board the President, and signed by all the men of the Naval Reserve in that ship. It is under stood (says the Shipping Gazette) that a similar expression of feeling is about to emanate from the naval volunteers at our principal outports :—" To Captain Lacy, R.N., her Majesty's ship President, City Canal. Sir, —Having heard that our flag has been grossly insulted by an American ship of war, and people who claimed its protection forcibly taken from it and made prisoners, we write this to let you know that we are ready to fulfil our engagement, and protect the honour of our flag, our good Queen and country, whenever called upon to do so. We respectfully request you will make this determina tion known in the proper quarter."—(Signed on behalf of the Volunteer Reserve on board the Pre sident.) LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY. Attention is still absorbed upon this exciting topic, to the complete neglect of business. Yester day people were beginning to settle down to the conviction that the stoppage of the Trent and the seizure of the Confederate Commissioners, though a very ugly and nauseous pill to swallow, could not be legally objected to ; but a revulsion of feeling immediately took place to-day, on the receipt of the telegraphic advices to the effect that the law officers of the British Crown had decided that the action of the Federal officers was unjustifiable. War or the prospect of war with America is, of course, in a port like Liverpool, a matter which causes the most intense anxiety and interest. As the day advanced a greater assurance and quietude took possession of the public mind, as, upon re flection, the probability gained ground that Mr. Lincoln's government would make a prompt and handsome acknowledgment that their officials had exceeded the authority given to them under inter national law. There was no demonstration on 'Change to-day, and the " Indignation" meeting of Wednesday is now generally regarded as a most premature and inconsiderate manifestation. The sales of cotton to-day were only 1,000 bales, the smallest amount known for a quarter of a century. MANCHESTER, Nov. 29. The excitement arising out of the stoppage of the Trent, m ail-steamer, by an American war frigate, has occasioned an entire suspension of business in this market, and more especially since the receipt of telegraphic advises from London that the law officers of the Crown had declared the act to be one of illegality, and that the Govern ment were determined to demand reparation. Most people here seem to display a good deal more calm ness than it appears by all reports to hand has been the case in London, Liverpool, and some other towns; but at the same time it is undoubted that there is a strong war party, who will not see any way out of the difficulty but that which would depend upon the arbitrament of the sword. Some of the Americans here seem to think that their government will be disposed to make every repara tion consistent with honour, if it shall be shown that they have acted contrary to the law of nations as laid down in such matters, whilst others regard the matter as one almost sure to lead to war, seeing the strong sympathy which prevails for the Confederates on this side the Atlantic. People are not at all disposed to do business. Some of our manufacturers have been very anxious to sell, and are offering shirtings at a reduction of as much as 6d. per piece, but it does not appear that any sales have been made, or indeed that business could be effected at any prices. The yarn market is greatly deranged. Prices are reported weaker, but there is no business doing at all. Many of the spinners and manufacturers attending the mar ket have left town much disheartened at the prospect of ruin and misery which must result to this district in the event of war, however triumphant to British arms might be the result of a conflict. EFFECT OF THE INSULT 70 THE .SBITISH FLAG OH THE 2101Y_EY MARKET. The announcement that the Law Officers of the Crown have given an opinion that the proceedings of the Captain of the American frigate San Jacinto were illegal, caused Consols to open yesterday morning at a further fall of three-quarters per cent. Subsequently the heaviness increased, until transactions took place at one per cent. below the last price of Thursday, and two per cent. below the highest price of last week. Before the termination of business, however, there was a rally of about a half per cent. The recovery in the stock-market yesterday after noon was attributed partly to an impression that the Cunard steamer due on Sunday may bring a disavowal of the act of the San Jacinto, and partly to a report that Mr. Adams, the United States' Minister in London, has expressed a belief that it could not have been authorised by the Washington Cabinet. The natural impression as to the conduct which civilised nations are entitled to anticipate from each other would, of course, strongly favour this view, but any very sanguine expectations are damped not merely by the numerous indications during the past six months of the determination to provoke a conflict, but also by the symptoms that the United States' ship of war recently at South ampton contemplated a. similar aggression. It is likewise feared that even if a disposition to a mode rate course should prevail at Washington the ques tion may be taken out of the hands of the Govern ment by the mob. The feeling in the City is, that were it not for this consideration there would be little reason to apprehend serious consequences. Although there has never been much doubt as to the views of Mr. Seward, it has been believed for some time past that an influential section of the Cabinet have been strongly opposed to the policy of attacking this country, and it is certain that all the respectable trading classes in New York and the principal cities were desirous only of maintain ing friendly relations. The banking interest espe cially, who have just subscribed for £30,000,000 of stock, the chief part of which still remains on their hands, would naturally view with dismay the de preciation that must instantly follow the prospect of a rupture. Another and still more valuable ground of hope is seen to consist in the prompt, clear, and temperate expression of opinion on the part of the French press ; and, although the latter circumstance can have no effect in mitigating any hostility of tone that may be brought by the in coming steamer, there can be little doubt that it will have immense weight in facilitating an adjust ment, so long as the means of adjustment are still open.—limes' City Article.

This is an action of damage. for false imprisonment, on a charge of stealing wood, the property of the defendants The defendants pleaded in justification that the wood. was stolen from them, and found in the plaintiff's pos h session. 100 1001 100 111 94 i 6E 141 i The plaintiff was called and examined, and said that he was employed by the defendants to execute the repairs of some of the defendants' drains, and he was desired to take and use the wood in question. The value might be Es. He was taken into custody for stealing it, and he said Cook had given it to him, but Cook said, " No, I did not give you all this," and plaintiff was taken to the station-house and charged with stealing the wood, and he was locked up till next day, and then was discharged. Cross-examined—He was known as a bricklayer and marine store dealear. Cook told him to take this lot of wood for the drain. The old wood was not worth the expense of cartage. Cook did not pick out sound pieces fit for use to him ; the timber was rotten. He said if it was sound it would be worth £l. All the timber was taken away in one cart load to the station. It was old ash wood laid on the top of the drain. _ . John Macdonald, whD works for his brother, heard Cook tell him to take the wood away. The wood was not given up at the station-house. Wm. Roth, labourer, was in the plaintiff's employment on the 10th of J une last, and saw the wood in question, but did not hoar Cook give any directions about it. Henry Stanley said he heard Cook tell the plaintiff to take the wood. Charles Hunt, police-constable, said the plaintiff was brought to the station-house charged with stealing the wood, 'value 2s. 6d.; he was locked up all night, and dis charges next day by the magistrate. Mr. Hanley proved the letters produced, dated 29th June last, applying for compensation, and no answer was re turned by the defendants. He proposed to try this case in the county court, and on refusal brought this action before this court. This closed the case for the plaintiff. John Cook said he had been 18 years in defendant's em ployment. Remembers on the 12th of June the cesspool was cleared out. No timber was on it, but flag stones, and the wood was on the ground. Ile asked plaintiff to take away the old timber, and he said he could make no use of it. On 27th June went to plaintiff's house with a constable and saw several pieces of wood there that I did not authorise him to take, and told him so. He made no reply. When we entered the yard ho said " There is all the timber I took away, and I took it away in a light builder's two-wheel cart." Plaintiff had no authority to take this wood away. It might be a quarter of a ton. He gave no authority but to take old wood. (The wood was produced, which appeared to be an outside cut, rotten.) It is worth about 2d. per foot superficial. It might be worth 55., but it was charged 2s. 6d. at the station. It was not shown the magistrate, so far as I know. I asked him to clear the yard, and he said it was not worth taking away. 370 65 At this stage of the proceedings, and on the recommenda- tiou of the Lord Chief Justice, counsel consulted together, and agreed to take a verdict for £l5 damages for the plaintiff. 13 i COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff against the Brighton Railway Company to recover damages for the injuries sustained by the plaintiff by the late accident in the Clayton Tunnel. 1031 i The defendants did not deny their liability, and paid £5O into court. The plaintiff is a young man 28 years of age, a house decorator and billiard table coverer and marker. He was one of the passengers by the excursion train that met with the accident on the 25th of August, when he was thrown with great violence to the opposite side of the carriage to that in whichhe occupied a seat. He received severe injuries to his head, knee, and otherparts of his body, and was so much injured that he was conveyed to Brighton, and there re mained a fortnight under surgical attendance. He regained sufficient strength to return to London, but he was advised to abstain from business for some time. This advice he followed, but at length, when he determined to resume his occupation, his sight entirely failed him, and it was for this injury he demanded compensation of the company. The case was proceeding when we went to press. COURT OF PROBATE. (Before Sir Cresswell Creswell.) ILAWARDUN V. DUNLOP. This was a suit instituted,by the plaintiff, Ladyilawarden, for the purpose of obtaining letters of administration of the goods and chattels of the late Lord Elphinstone, as sister and one of the ne tof kin of deceased. The suit was op posed by the defendant, Mr. George Dunlop, who had pro pounded a will of Lord Elphinstone, dated the 13th of February, 1854, in the Commissary Court of Dumbarton shire, and obtaining in the court of the interlo cutor a confirmation of the appointment of executors, which, according to the law of Scotland, has all the effects of Probate. The defendant having been cited to propound the will in this court brought in the confirmation of the appointment, and prayed the seal of this court might be affixed to the confirmed, a caveat being lodged against it by the plaintiff ; and appeal being in existence in the Court of Session in Scotland, the court refused the application, On the case being called on, and before the jury were sworn, Mr. M. Smith renewed his application for the seal of the court being affixed to the confirmation, which was op posed by Mr. Sergeant Shee, on the ground that the object was to shut out the dispute as to the question of domicile. The learned Judge refused the application. The learned counsel on both sides then retired into a private room to endeavour to effect an arrangement of the suit; and after an absence of an hour and a half they re turned, and announced that an arrangement had been made, by which all the contentious proceedings in this court should be discontinued, all imputations against Mr. Dunlop being withdrawn. Tho exact terms of the arrangement did not transpire. The case was thus terminated. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY• (Before Mr. Registrar Winslow.) IN RE W. J. MOORE. This bankrupt was described as of Camberwell", commis sion agent, and this was a meeting for choice of assignees. Mr. J. B. Sorrell, for the bankrupt, who came up on his own petition. The debts are about £5OO, and the assets depend upon the realization of certain reversionary interests. Mr. Prance, who had been solicitor for the bankrupt for a considerable time, tendered a proof, which was objected to by Mr. Sorrell, and a long examination ensued. It ap peared there had been extensive transactions between Mr. Prance and the bankrupt. The proof was ultimately ad journed until the next meeting, and assignees were chosen IN RE WILLING. This bankrupt carried on business as an oilman in Clip stone-street, and this was a meeting for choice of assignees. Mr. Weston (Moorgate-street) appeared for the petitioner and assignees were chosen. IN RE PRIOR, This bankrupt was described as of Old Kent-road, cheese monger, and this was a meeting for surrender and choice of assignees. Mr. Weston supported, and assignees were chosen. The majority of the cases were first meetings before the Registrars. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Sergeant Wheeler.) I SUIT VERY PRODUCTIVE OFLAW.-JUSTIN V. HIBBBRD. This was an action for commission and salary, Mr. Bu chanan appearing for the plaintiff, and Mr. Lawton for the defendant. _ _ When the case first came before the Court, Mr. Kerr suggested a reference, but some dispute arising about the terms of the reference, the parties came a second time. Then Mr. Buchanan and Lawton argued about it, and the suit was finally adjourned. A third time the parties did battle, and again was it adjourned. A fourth time resulted in a like manner, and to-day the curtain drew up for the fifth act. After a short adjournment, Mr. Buchanan said he and Mr. Layton had agreed to a reference. So a second time the matters in dispute were referred, the costs, it is anticipated, being likely to be heavy. THE LAST DAY OP THE DEPUTY-JUDGE. To-day is the last Mr. Sergeant Wheeler will sit, for some considerable time at least. But one expression ac companies him, and that is of hearty good-will and respect. He has given the greatest satisfaction to the legal gentle men and suitors of the court, and has given great proof of both high legal attainments and great patience. Count Bela Szechnyi and Count R. Zichy have left Fenton's Hotel for Lilleshall, Shropshire. THE ROYAL CHARTER.—LIVERPOOL, Friday.— (By Electric and International Telegraph.)—A missing bullion safe, said to contain £7,000, has been got up from the wreck of the Royal Charter, at Moolfra. INTENDED NEW BRIDGE AT BLACKFRIARE.— Yesterday a meeting was held at the Guildhall of the Com mittee for Letting the Bridge-house Lands, at which they resolved by a large majority to recommend the design of an iron bridge with three arches, by Mr. Thomas Page, as the one to be adopted by the Common Council. _ Her Majesty inspected the Eton College Volun teers, consisting of four :companies, with the band of the Scots Fusilier Guards, in the Home Park, immediately under the East-terrace, at three o'clock yesterday after noon, at which time the Queen and Prince Consort, accom panied by Princess Alice, Prince Arthur, Princess Helena, Princess Louise, and Princess Beatrice, the Duke of Nemours, and the Prince. and Princess of Leiningen, pro ceeded to the ground. The line was under the command of Mr. Arkwright, and received her Majesty with a Royal salute ; the companies then marched past and ',went through several manoeuvres, which were concluded by an adyauco in parade order and a Royal aaltisto..: 1100 15 all 100 1 RAILWAYS. -D H d 10 111 4 3i par 22 z 3 8 8 8k ft 20 21 8S .39k 3S 3)4 52 4i 3i i 13 15 61 7 8 91 25}Z61 7 7} 91 101 20 21 ES. 1 2 30 34 360 370 65 g7i 27 27i 3 H 15 4 4i 18.8. all all all all all all all all all MI 3.2.101 ET—Nov. 29. the close of the market Ships at market, 72:; old, 49. 8. d.

The Wasp, 13, screw Commander C. Stirling, arrived at Spith.ead at a late hour on Thursday even ing from the C a pe of Good Hope station. The ship has brought to England from the ships on the sta tion Mr. May, master, from the Pioneer ; Mr. Cart wright, paymaster, from the Ariel ; invalided, Mr. Hartley, engineer, from the Brisk ; discharged by sentence of court-martial, 38 semen ani marines and eight seamen under sentence of court.martial. f TsohpeteNm Ascensionabsopr sailed eH f lo r Bl o ot m ho ao S co i t inn ob tlis the 11th t h awn o a Bayl Fine lthonOwctethaoebt weather s experienced until nearing the Channel, when strong winds w made underere met sail, w t i h t oh machinery The f g th h o om sh e ip ha h s a b vi e n en g become disabled from the " bed" of the engine hav ing been forced up from its position on the Wasp getting on shore off the Congo Islands. She is ordered into Portsmouth harbour, where her officers and crew will be turned over to another vessel. Private advices from Paris and Toulon assert that the armour plates of the iron-plated frigate La Gloirer have become loosened upon her sides from the ship's working when at sea, and that she consequently leaks to such an extent when under steam that she is in reality unseaworthy. The quality of her armour plates is also suspected to be of a very inferior cha racter to those manufactured in this country. This last supposition, it is said, has arisen from the fact of two armour plates having been supplied to the Spanish Government by the firm which manufac tured those for La Gloire as specimen plates for testing, and which were said to be even superior to those supplied to the French Government. The Spanish Government tested the plates after the fashion adopted in this country, at 200 yards pith Bin. guns, and the result was that the plates broke. in pieces each time they were struck by a shot. An official trial has taken place at Portsmouth dockyard of an improved diving apparatus, manu factured by Mr. S. Barnett, engineer, of Heston. It is simply an improvement on the ordinary diving helmet. A new mode is adopted of fastening the front glass on the helmet, which the diver can fasten and unfasten at his pleasure, instead of wait ing to have it unscrewed by the attendants on reaching the surface of the water, as at present. Another improvement consists of a gauge dial at tached to a treble barrel air engine, by which the exact pressure of air sent to the diver below can be regulated by the men working the engine, ac cording to the depth at which the diver may be working. The trial was pronounced, both by officials and the Government diver, to be eminently satisSte. tory. One hundred and twenty-five able seamen yester day left the flagship Fisgard, at Woolwich, for Portsmouth, under orders received by Admirally telegram on the previous evening. Anticipating the object of their hurried departure, they gave vent to their expectations in shouts of delight, and started in the highest glee. A large number of men from the Chesapeake and the Cambrian are expected to join the Fisgard in a day or two, the whole of whom are ordered to be forwarded to Portsmouth without delay also. The pendant has been hoisted on board the screw steam corvette Satellite, 21, Capt. 0. Johnson, at Devonport. She has been supplied with five Arm strong guns—one of 100 lb. and four of 401 b.—and is to have a complement of 270 officers and men.. The following result of experiments was yester day received at Woolwich. On Wednesday last the Ordnance Select Committee attended at Shoebuxy nem to continue their tests with 100-pounder Arm strong shells filled with molten iron. It has been erroneously affirmed that the Armstrong shell could not be used for this purpose, on the ground that the heat of the liquid iron would fuse the lead covering which surrounds the shell. The experiments, how ever, have shown that the shells can be used for molten metal with as much advantage as the com mon spherical shells of smooth bored ordnance. The. Armstrong shell when employed for this purpose is fined with a n on-conducting material, which effec ually confines the heat, and prevents it from in he slightest degree injuring the outer covering dux-. ing the interval required for loading. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—George Griffiths, engineer, to the Indus as supernumerary; F. Lewis, engineer to the Greyhound, vice Griffiths ; James Leathlean, engineer to the Indus, for the Sparrow, vice Lewis ; G. Batchelor, acting engineer to the Cumberland, additional, for the Eritomart ; J. T. Page, first-class assist-engineer, to the Cumber land, additional, for the Sandfly ; G. F. Williams, first-class assist.-engineer, to the Asia, as supernu merary, on the Centurion having been paid off; and George Munro, paymaster, to the Greyhound. THE ARMI , A number of the troops at Chatham having ap plied to Major-Gen.Eyre to authorise the formation of a penny savings bank for the use of the men quartered at that garrison, an order was yesterday issued on the subject to the troops. It points out to the non-commissioned officers and men that they can in effect have a penny savings bank by allowing the captains of their companies to retain one penny per diem out of their daily pay, and by having the same placed at the end of each month in the regi mental savings bank, where the amount deposited would bear interest at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum. It would appear, however, that soldiers as a body are averse to depositing their surplus money in the military savings banks, from the great dis like they seem to entertain of their officers knowing the amount of money they may , have saved, and also from the fact that, if tried for desertion or any other serious military crime, the whole of the sum placed to their credit in the regimental savings bank becomes forfeited. Under these circumstances a soldier would prefer placing the money at his disposal in a place of deposit unconnected with the army. The staff surveyors and draughtsmen selected from the companies of Royal Engineers at head quarters, Brompton barracks, to proceed to the Danube, where they will be employed on the sur veying expedition, have been medically inspected, none of them being allowed to be employed on this duty but those in sound health. The force is ex pected to leave Chatham on the Ist of December, Yesterday the officers and men of the Royal En gineers at Chatham who have not gone through a course of instruction in escalading, were paraded at Brompton Barracks for the purpose of commencing practice in operations of this kind, which wiU be carried on at stated intervals during the winter. Yesterday a detachment of invalid troops and time-expired men belonging to the 21st Royal North British Fusileers, under the command of Lieut. G. A. Grant,arrived at Chatham from the West Ind Lies, having disembarked at Southampton from the mail steamer La Plata. After medical inspection, five of the number were admitted into Fort Pitt Hospital for treatment. A detachment of 200 non-commissioned officers and gunners yesterday proceeded from Woolwich to Warley, in charge of officers of the depot brigade, Royal Artillery, whoreturned to headquarters ; and. 100 gunners proceeded from Warley to Sheerness.
