-- THE WAR. 1 NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. Yesterday advices were received at Lloyd's, under date Stockholm, June 8, that the Norwegian barque Johanna Maria, of Stavanger, Lindner master, had been captured by her Majesty's cruisers and taken into Faro harbour, Gothland, and found laden with contraband of war; she was consequently declared a prize and sent to England, her crew to be landed at Stockholm. Intell!gence was received yesterday, under date Dant zic, June 11, that her Majesty's steamer Desperate, 8, Captain D'Eyncourt, had just entered that harbour and landed the crews of two neutral vessels, who, after being warned off the coast, attempted to break the blockade. The ships have been sent home to England in charge of prizemasters. The French ship Algerine sailed yesterday from the Downs for the Baltic ; she carries stores and a medical staff, sick berth attendants, and the other requisites for an hospital ship, for which purpose she is intended. Her Majesty's steaniii Medina, under orders for the Baltic, sailed past Deal yesterday afternoo n, g oin g west ward. Yesterday the Directors of the . East India Company gave notice at Lloyd's that a ship °fa:bout 500 ton s was t re quired to carry a number of lads to 13RFfiba)tr f o r ro s to naval service, as also another ship to convey Kurrachee. They are all to embark the latter end of July. The Taurus, screw steam transport, having completed taking on board stores at the Royal Arsenal, the -re mainder of Captain Brandling, sNO 12th battalion embarked in her a t i 1 company of the litieaa p rrived in th e Royal Arsenal, le. a and she has left Woolwich for Con N 0. 11 90, The Camperdown tran s p ort, Downs yesterday afternoon from the Thames, with stores for Malta. steam ry at the facto at Wool- The officers studying wich dockyard concluded their examination before Com modore John Shepherd ,Sup erintendent, an d M r. Atherton, Chi e f Engineer, yesterday, and the answers to the various questions put on the practical working of marine steam-engines will be sent to Portsmouth pre yibus to their being finally passed. The Ite . c. Dr. Woolley, Inspector of Dockyard Schools, concluded his inspection of the school for the dockyard ' a pprentices on Thursday, and during their examination was assisted by the Rev. J. C. Connolly, Dockyard Chaplain, and Mr. M'Avoy, teacher of the apprentices. The non-commissioned officers and gunners of Cap tain Graydon's company, Ist battalion, Royal Artillery, have presented a splendid silver cup, with suitable in scription, to Colour-sergeant Robert Allen, as a memo rial of the high esteem in which he was herd by them for his good conduct towards them, on his retiring from the corps on a pension. He has obtained the situation of Superintendent of the Revenue Police of Dublin. The Medina will leave Portsmouth to-morrow with mails for the Mediterranean and Black Sea fleets. Let ters and papers must be posted this evening (Friday). The Locust, 3, steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Day, is appointed to leave Portsmouth on the 21st inst. for the Baltic, carrying a mail to the fleet. The Myrmidon, 4, iron steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Com mander W. K. Jolliffe, arrived at Spithead, from the West Coast of Africa station, yesterday morning. She left Sierra Leone on the 15th of May, Teneriffe on the 30th, and Madeira on the 2d of June, bringing mails. The Ferret, 8, Commander Macdonald, was about to sail for a cruise. The Plumper, 11 (screw), Commander Wharton, was about sailing with mails for Ascension. Commander Hesseltine, of the Brithmart, 8, was ex pected from Ascension, to assume the command, as senior officer of the Sierra Leone division of the squadron. The mail steam-packet Faith was at Sierra Leone, endeavouring to fit a propeller, in lieu of that lost on her way out. The Bacchante, with mails, ar rived outwards on the 15th of May. The,.slave trade is reported apparently extinct, and no prizes have been made for a very long time. The station was very healthy. Mrs. Lindsay and Mr. Barlee, Ordnance Storekeeper, have come home front- Sierra Leone in the Myrmidon, which vessel has been healthy, considering the hazardous and continued river work upon which she has generally been employed. She has lost one man from sickness, four by violent deaths, and Mr. Carr, Second-Master, murdered in November last by the natives of Kanyaboe. She has taken one prize, in May last, almost the last, or the . last captured ; this was a fine new clipper schooner from the Havannab, about the only place for which slaves are carried from the coast. The Myrmidon has gone into Portsmouth Harbour to be refitted, most pro bably to serve as a gun-boat for the Baltic. ANOTHER SCREW SHIP OF THE Lus COMMISSIONED. —We stated a few days since that Captain R. Spencer Robinson (1840) was likely to have a command. This officer has been appointed to the command of the newly converted 80-gun ship Colossus, to be commissioned at Portsmouth. Captain Robinson is the youngest son of the late Sir John Robinson, Bart., of Rokeby Hall, county Louth, and as we have before stated, is the son in-law of Admiral Sir John Louis, Bart. He is one of the youngest captains of his standing on the list ; he entered the navy in 1821, served against the pirates in the Mediterranean, was made a lieutenant in 1830, and a commander in 1838. He commanded two steamers— the Phcenix and the Hydra, and was promoted from the latter in 1840, for services on the coast of Syria. As a captain he lately commanded the Arrogant, 47, screw ; but that ship having been paid off before he had served the usual period, his claims to further employment have been recognised in the bestowal on him of the command of the Colossus. The Colossus is one of the improved Vangu: - .1.1 class of Sir William Symonds's design ; bqt, like a sister ship, the Majestic, she has been converted into a screw-ship, with engines of 400-horse power by Penn and Co. She will have a complement of 750 offi cers and men. MANNING THE FLEET.—We are sorry to find that, notwithstanding the Algiers, 90, screw, Capt. Talbot, had the cr ew o f th e M ean d er , 44 , turned over to her, and had been some two months previously entering men, she is yet between 200 and 300 short of her complement of petty officers and seamen. So far as her fitting is concerned, she will be ready to leave Devonport for the Baltic or elsewhere by the 27th inst. The Hannibal, 91, screw, Capt. Hon. W. F. Grey, fitting at Chatham, is pretty much in the same condition as the Algiers. She will be ready for sea by to-morrow • but although she has been in commission since the 18th March, she has not two-thirds of her whole complement on board, and, moreover, the third portion of which she is short is, un fortunately, petty officers and, seamen. The following appointments have been made : Captain—Robert S. Robinson (1840), to command the Colossus, 80, screw steam-ship, commissioned yesterday at Portsmouth. Clerk— George A. S. Ley (1849), to the Termagant, 24, screw steam-frigate at Portsmouth. Gunner's-mate—Thomas Pearce, of the Rhadaman thus steam-vessel, at Woolwich, is promoted to be boat swain, and reappointed to that vessel. Lieutenant Fairfax Moresby (1847), having been no minated by his father, Rear-Admiral Moresby, C.B , to whom he was flag lieutenant durin g hi s command-in chief. in the Pacific, has been promoted to the rank of commander. Sir James Dunbar, Bart., late flag lieutenant to Ad miral Sir John A. Ommanney, has been promoted to the rank of commander, on the hauling down the flag of the gallant admiral as commander-in-chief at Devon port. At the monthly examination of officers to qualify for promotion to higher ranks, and of candidates for entry into the navy, the following have passed, and have re ceived certificates, at the Royal Naval College, Ports- mouth : Mates for Lieutenants—Messrs. W. G. England, Sir M. Macgregor, C. G. F. Knowles, F. M. Prattent, W. T. W. Hambly, J. R. Palmer, and F. R. Purvis. Second Masters for Masters—Messrs. T. Pounds, A. J. Armstrong, T. D. Nicholson, and J. E. Chapple. For Naval Cadets—A. H. Blair, G. H. J. Eliott, and C. B. Charlnwood, from Mr. Fastman's naval establish ment ; C. A. Hayes, W. G. Scott, W. C. Shuckburgh, A. G. C. Lit, G. F. Pardon, H. S. Sandys, H. H. A'Conrt, J. L. Way, J. A. Errington, F. C. Baker, and C. D. R. H. Tracy. For Masters' -Assistants.—F. Burne, J. F. Brunton, J. C. Thomas, J. Dixon, E. H. C. Smith. W. Stewart, H. H. Hannay, and C. J. Bigley. For Clerk's-Assistant.—F. A. Keogh. For Royal Marine Cadet—H. T. M. Cooper. VIE MILITIA. The Wiltshire Militia will march from Devizes to morrow for Portsmouth. They will be quartered in Hasler Barracks, on the Gosport side. The Nottinghamshire enrolled pensioners were re viewed on Wednesday last in the Park, Nottingham, by Colonel Tulloh. The veterans went through the various manoeuvres with great precision, and looked remarkabl well in th e i r neat uniform. y NOTTINCiRThe lace trade, in its main TR every that total quiesce branches, still preserves which as be gd Ing to persuade one that the season lile has over withoutthpereoolduec,inigo its usual activity in business. ps This being to probe sagacity is tested e tremely in attempting into the causes of stag . nation.

Manufacturers class goods complain very much of the conditionbbeteteenr which trade has been brought in that department In to sequence of the long continued dullness, and larg e „ c ' en : mutation of manufactured stocks, inducing amongst th e smaller capitalists, particularly, an unprecedented amount of jobbing. The result is that the more independent houses can do no business on the terms offered them. Fine weather and an abundant harvest would do much to restore activity. Our prospects of a plentiful crop of grain and other produce, except hay, are excellent, and consequently, although meet will probably rise, bread stuffs, &c., will certainly decline, and shopkeepers and retail businesses will immediately experience the benefit which must ere long react upon the manufacturer. The late failures are looked upon as a salutary check on those impatient to effect transactions prematurely. The iin- Pcrtations of silk for the month will be announced in the circulars of the 20th, but we hardly anticipate that the extraordinary average importation of the last five months will be maintained ,- and the first of the new crop will not arrive until October. Already we have to hand 34,003 out of the whole 53,000, with th e new crop still to come in.--Nottincham shire Guardian. THE CHARGE OF ( CORRUPTION AGAINST IRISH BERS. — The select committee appointed to inquire into this charge re-assembled yesterday at twelve o'clock, and sat for several heurs considering and discussing their re port. No otherWitpess was examined; the proceedings were again condiidee'd' with '4loed 'doors, and *e are therefore unable to state what transpired. C CITIA - 1 1 CI.R C II .A R. WINDSOR, JUNE 15.

Sir,—On reading your correspondent's letter dated the 28th ult., I can vouch for the truth of what he writes as to the inutility of the entrenching and pioneer ing tools issued to the army from the timo I joined it to the present date. The tools slung upon the backs of the pioneers of re giments, as seen marching past at reviews, would not stand 15 minutes real work, for which they are intended. Let the Quartermaster-General, to test my statement, send to one of the battalions of Guards, and order the pioneers' tools to be put into the hands of any gasfitters or pipe -layers who may be at work in,the streets near the Horse Guards, and, if one of the pickaxes or mat tocks will stand the work required of them, what I state, of course, goes for nothing. There is a discharged pioneer from the Grenadier Guards now working as a gasfitter at the west-end of London, and I saw him at work in Grosvenor-square last week. Ilia name is John Sherwood ; let him show off his old tools. These articles are furnished to regiments colonels, and areone u o t f t t e h r e ly se n t s o e o le ls ss a ; s n a o g a if gr t i i f cu h l e tu w r a a s l labourer tee would forced to gain his w ee k' s wages by task or measure work.—Your most obedient servant, J.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ASCOT HEATH RACES. -THURSDAY. THR ROYAL VISIT. The settled appearance of the weather yesterday led us to indulge in the pleasing hopes of a fine day for the great event of the meeting, but they were completely dispelled by the gloomy aspect of the morning. Heavy clouds surcharged with rain blotted the sky, and afforded a cheerless prospect to the pleasure-seekers who arrived in small detachments by the early trains on the Great Western and South-Western lines. Nothing, indeed, could be more dreary during the first part of the morn ing than the streets of Windsor, except the faces of the lodging-house and hotel keepers, who unanimously de clared that this was the " worst Ascot" they had ever seen—a complaint that was echoed in every varied form of grumbling by omnibus-drivers, fly-men, correct-card vendors, and the multitude of persons who look forward to these races as to an annual benefit. A drizzlin ,, , incessant rain had been falling since day break, and showed no disposition to leave off as the morning advanced ; steadily and perseveringly it des cended, and at ten o'clock it was generally thought to be a hopeless case, and that the Queen had for the first pine been beaten by the weather. We had, however, faith in her Majesty's proverbial good fortune, and the result proved that it had not quite deserted her, for at one o'clock the rain had ceased ; the sun, however, did not condescend to gladden the heath with his shining countenance, but the air was nevertheless warm and pleasant, and the landscape, from which the heavy mists were now clearing, appeared rife with beauty and freshness. Notwithstanding the 4npropitious state of the weather in the forenoon, and the complaints which were heard on ;all sides, by the time the bell rang for the first race tbo assemblage of general company on the heath was very great. The receipts at the Grand Stand were, we believe, quite equal to the amount on the occasion of the Czar's visit in 1844. - At twenty minutes before two o'clock the royal cox , tdge was sighted from the stand entering the New Mile. The display of well dresied and fashionable people in the stands and • private carriages had at this time a striking and picturesque effect. The carriage of. her Majesty, an open landau andfour, was preceded by the Earl of Bessborough (master of the royal buckhounds), and a number of the Queen's hunts men and giooms, in the royal livery, on horseback. In the carriage with the Queen were the King of Por tugal, the Duchess of Cambridge, and the Duke of Oporto • five other carriages, three pony phaetons, and a char-a-hanc, completed the brilliant cort6ge. The princi pal occupants of the carriages were his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, the Princess Alice, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, the Princess Mary of Cambridge, the Duke and Duchess .of Wellington, the Duchess of Sutherland, the Duke of Terceira, the Austrian and Portuguese Ministers, and other distinguished personages whose names will be found in the official court circular of the day. The reception of her Majesty and the royal family was most enthusiastic. No sooner had her carriage arrived opposite to the Grand Stand than hearty • cheers ourst from the crowding spectators, and were carried forward and continued on both sides of the course, amidst the waving of hats and handkerchiefs, until the carriages had turned round the end of the New Stand. It was no hollow expression of formal greeting—no conventional tribute to royalty—but the rough welcome of thousands of loyal hearts, uttered in honest unison with their feelings. Truly, it was a glorious sight—that of the Queen of a free people receiving the spontaneous homage of all classes of her subjects ' • and proud might she be of such a d emons t rat i on of love and loyalty offered in the presence of her royal guests. The cheering of the crowd on the course was renewed when her Majesty and Prince Albert appeared at the window, whilst West Australian, the winner of the cup was led past the Royal Stand. During the race for the New Stakes, an incident oc curred which was fortunately attended with no other result than a hearty laugh. Just as the horses had reached the Royal Stand, her Majesty, in her eagerness to see the race, not perceiving that the window where she had been standing had been put down, leaned for ward rather hastily to look out, and broke a pane of glass with which she came in contact. The occurrence was perceived only by a few persons on the course, but it produced a great deal of merriment among the royal ' party ; the Queen herself setting the example of laughing with the greatest good humour at the mischance. Besides the royal and distinguished personages whose names we have mentioned, we observed among the fashionable company :—The French Ambassador and the Countess Walewski, the Duke and Duchess of Beau fort, the Duke of Montrose, the Marquis of Breadalbane (Lord Chamberlain), the Marquis of Exeter, the Mar quis of Abercorn, the Marquis of Downshire, the Mar quis of Anglesea, the Marchioness of Aylesbury, the Marquis of Clanricarde, the Marquis of Granby, Earl and Countess Granville, the Earl and Countess of Wil ton, Earl Powis, the Earl of Exmouth, Earl Bruce, Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, Earl of Derby, Earl of Jersey, Earl of Zetland, Earl of Howth, Earl Strad broke Earl Spencer, Earl and Countess of Clarendon, Viscount Newport, Lord C. Manners, Lord Hill, Lord Giffard, Lord H. Lennox, Lord Ward, Count Batthyany, Lord John Scott, Lord Clifden, Baron Rothschild, Baron de Sarmento, Baroness de Speth, Lady Keene, Sir Robert and Lady Pigot, Sir George Armitage, Sir George Houston, Sir Williamson Booth, Hon. Admiral Rous, Hon. Cecil Forrester, the Chevalier de Mello, Sir Edward Smythe, &c. Her Majesty took her departure from the heath pre cisely at 25 minutes past four o'clock, followed by de monstrations of affectionate loyalty similar to those by which she was welcomed on her arrival. The Ascot Cup was the important prize of the day ; it is a large and handsome piece of plate, manufactured from a design by Mr. Cotterill, and represents Charles of Luxembourg, the blind and aged King of Bohemia, who, having caused his horse's bridle to be made fast to the bridles of the horses of two knights between whom he rode at the battle of Cressy, thus dashed sword in hand upon the English troops. The name of this prize was altered from the Ascot Gold Cup to the Emperor's Plate in 1845 in compliment to the Emperor of Russia, who, being present at the race the preceding year, gave 5001. annually for a piece of plate to be added to the stakes. Under the circumstances of the war with Russia, the gift of the Czar has been declined this year, and the prize has reverted to its original character and title. The races, of which there were seven in the programme, commenced with— The ST. JAMES'S PALACE STAKES of 100 soya each, h ft, for three-year-olds ; colts Bst 71b, fillies Bst 41b. Old Mile. 18 subs.

Massaroni led off, Mulligrubs, Lincoln's-inn, Jennala filly, and Jujube following in order named. At the Swinley Post Jujube took third place, with Ethelwolf fourth, Lincoln's-inn and Jennala filly dropping back. At the foot of the hill Jujube was second, and on reaching the Brick-kiln road, she took up the running from Massaroni, followed by Ethelwolf, Little Jack, and Vingt-un.

NORFOLK. A special meeting of this company was held on Wed nesday at the office, Guildhall-buildings, to consider and approve, or otherwise, of four bills now before Parlia ment ; Mr. S. M. Peto, M.P., in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said, the meeting had been convened in compliance with the standing orders of the House of Lords. The first bill they intended to submit was the most important, being a bill for authorising arrange. ments between the Eastern Counties, the Norfolk, the Eastern Union, the East Anglian, and the Newmarket Railway Companies, for the amalgamation of their rel spective undertakings; but, as it had not made sufficient progress in Parliament, they would have to adjourn the meeting for a fortnight, for the purpose of taking it into consideration. -They could, however, proceed with the other bills. The Solicitor read the heads of a bill to authorise certain improvemei.ts at Lowestoft harbour, and for other purposes. The CHAIRMAN explained - that the object of the bill was to enable the company to increase the size of the inner harbour, and to charge tolls on vessels that usually choked up the harbour during the winter months, and paid nothing for the accommodation, using it as a harbour of refuge. In reply to Mr. Maclaurin, he stated that 600 or 700 ships occupied the space intended for vessels trading with the port, but the bill would enable the company to charge tolls, which would come to between 2,0001. and 3,0001. a year for that accommodation. The motion approving the bill was carried unani mously. The Solicitor then read the heads of a bill for making a railway from Wells to Fakenham. It was promoted by the Earl of Leicester and other landowners, and all the Norfolk Company had to do with the line was to enter into arrangements for working the traffic on it when made. A. resolution, approving of the bill was carried unani mously. _ _ The - solicitor read the heads of a bill for making a railway in extension of the Halesworth, Beccies, and Haddiscoe Railway from Westhall Low Common to Woodbridge, and certain branches therefrom, and for changing the name of the company to "The East Suf folk Railway Company." The Norfolk Company was to work the traffic. A resobttion approving of the bill was carried. On the motion of Mr. Maclaurin a cordial vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and the meeting adjourned to the 27th inst. DIRECT LONDON AND PORTSMOUTH. A special meeting of this company was held on Mon day at the London Tavern to consid er a bill now be fore Parliament, in compliance with the standing or ders of the House of Lords, Mr. W. A. Wilkinson in the chair. The solicitor read the heads of the bill, authorizing agreements between the Direct London and Ports mouth Railway Company and the Portsmouth Railway Company, and for winding up the affairs of the former company. The Chairman, in moving a resolution approving of the bill, [stated that the shareholders would have the option of taking paid-up shares in the Portsmouth Company at'a diFomint, or of having a sum returned to them after winding up the company's affairs. A resolution approving of the bill was carried unani mously, and after a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors the meeting separated. GLASGOW AND SOUTH-WESTERN. A special meeting of this company was held at Glas gow on Tuesday for the purpose of cons id er i ng, and, if e xpedient, approving, two bills now before Parliament, v i z ., " a bill for vesting the Ardrossan R a il way i n t h e Glasgow and South-Western Railway Company, and for other purposes," and "a bill for making a railway from the "Ayr and Dahnellington Railway to Maybole, to be called the Ayr and Maybole Junction Railway,' Mr. Andrew in the chair. The Secretary read the heads of the first bill. The CHAIRMAN said, the object of it was the amalga mation of the Ardrossan with the Glasgow and South- Western Railway Company. At the tim e th e arrange ment was first entered into with that company in 1851 their revenue was 10,0001. per annum. In 1853 it amounted to 14,000/. per annum, and the dividend from 4to 6 per cent. The zevenue of the Glasgow and South- Western had risen from 212,4541. in 1851, to 249,1471. in 1853, and the dividend from 2to 31 per cent. He concluded by moving a resolution approving of the bill, which was seconded by Mr. JAMIESON, and unanimously adopted. The Secretary then read the heads of the Ay r an d Maybole Junction Railway Bill. The CHAIRMAN, in moving that it be approved, stated that it was promoted by an independent company, and all that the Glasgow and South-Western had to do with it was to work the line after it was finished. A resolution approving of the bill was carried unani mously, and the meeting separated. CORK AND WATERFORD. A special meeting of this company was held on Tuesday at the King's Arms Hotel, Westminster, to consider a bill now before Parliament, in compliance with the standing orders of the House of Lords, Mr; I. Butt, M.P., in the chair. Mr. G. C. JAMBS, the solicitor, read the heads of the bill, from which it appeared the object was to enable the company to abandon the portion of the authorised line between Waterford and Youghal, and to reduce the capital to 375,0001., for con structing a railway from Youghal to Cork, and ulti mately a branch to Queenstown. The amount of loan is not to exceed 125,0001. The nominal amount of the shares is to be reduced from 251. to 101. each. A. clause in the bill provides for the surrender to the com pany of 13,300 shares upon which 30s. each had been paid, on payment by the company to the holders thereof of 4s. per share. The name of the company is to.be changed to that of the Cork and Youghal Railway Company. The CIIAIRTISAN, in moving a resolution approving of the bill, said that since the last meeting a change had taken place in the board of directors. The former direc tors had retired to make room for influential persons who were locally interested in carrying out the under taking. He (the chairman) had been elected a director as representing the town of Youghal ; Major-General Sir J. Thackwell, Mr. Smyth, of Ballinatray, Mr. Cum muns, Mr. Coppinger, and other gentlemen locally in terested were also elected directors. Two directors of the South Wales Company and one director of the Great Western Railway Company were added to the new board. He had no doubt they would be able to carry out the undertaking successfully, notwithstanding the opposition of the Great Southern and Western Railway Com Pally. The company would gain 265. per share by the surrender of the 13,300 shares. A resolution approving of the bill was carried unani mously, and the meeting separated. REPORTS OF COMMITTEES ON RAILWAY BILLS. CALEDONIAN (ALTERATION OF WISIIAW AND COLTNESS RAILWAY.) Mr. CORRY reported from the committee that it 'is proposed by the bill to raise capital by the creation of shares to the amount of 80,0001., and to borrow a fur ther sum not exceeding 26,0001. The length of the pro posed liue from the coatbride Railway to the . Castle Cary branch is - 1 Mile 37 chains, and of the proposed line from the Wishaw and Coltnese railway to the Motherwell branch of the Clydesdale Junction is 1 mile ! 47.60 chains. The steepest gradient is 1 in 110. The estimated cost of the railways and other works is 80,000/. and the quantity of land required 37 acres. The com mittee are satisfied of the fitness, in an thigineering point of view of the proposed works. CARMARTHEN AND CARDIGAN. Mr. BOLIVERIE reported from the committee that the proposed capital of the company is 300,0001., and the amount of loan 80,0001, The length of the line is 25 miles, 38 chains, and it is proposed to construct it on the broad guage of 7 feet. There are two tunnels on the proposed line—one of 264 yards in length, and the other 880 yards in length, 32 feet in breadth, and 18 feet in height. The steepest gradient is 1 in 58, and the smallest radius of a curve 20 chains. It is intended that the railway should cross on a level three turnpike roads. The estimated cost of the railway is 247,0001., and the quantity of land required 247 acres. The committee are satisfied of the fitness, in an engineering point of view, of the proposed railway. SOUTH WALES. Mr. BOUVERIE reported from the committee that the objects of the bill are merely to enable the South Wales Railway Company to acquire additional lands at Swan sea, to divert certain footpaths at Newport, to enlarge the powers of the sale or lease to, and contribution by the Great Western Company, and to authorise arrange ments between the South IVales and the Vale of Neath Railway Company. The committee had amended the bill, specifying that the arrangements between the latter companies should, after the expiration of ten years, be subject to any modification which the Board of Trade may require. DUBLIN - AND WICKLOW AND DUBLIN AND KINGSTOWN. Mr. BOUVERIE reported from the committee that they bad examined the allegations contained in the preamble of the bill, and had amended the same by striking out a general recital of the expediency of enabling the said companies to alter and vary certain agreements therein mentioned, and by inserting therein special recitals of three deeds of agreement between the said companies, dated respectively the 17th of March and the 6th of June, 1854, the object of the hill being to enable the two companies to carry into effect the last-mentioned agreement, and found the same, as amended, to be true. TRALEE AND KILLARNEY. Mr. BOUVERIE reported from the committee that the object of the bill is to revive certain powers of the Tra lee and Killarney Railway Act, 1853, under which no proceeding had taken place, and also to release certain baronies in the counties of Cork and Kerry from the pay ment of interest, in respect to loans required for the purposes of the Killarney Junction Railway (which is authorised to be amalgamated with the Tralee and Kil larney Railway), and to require certain baronies in the county of Kerry to contribute towards the payment of the interest of any money to be borrowed to complete the Tralee and Killarney Railway instead thereof. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a court was held for the despatch of busi ness. UNION OF OFFICER. The following are extracts from the report brought up by Mr. Perkins, the chairman of the officers and clerks committee, on the subject of uniting the office of Comp troller of the Chamber with some other office in the ap pointment of the Court : " We directed that a return be made to us of the present duties of the office of Comptroller of the Chamber, the sources and amount of the emoluments, and the particu lars of the expenses of the office for each year since the last report in 1845 ; and we also required a similar return with respect to the office of Clerk Comptroller of the Bridge house for the last five years, which returns have been laid before us. That we carefully considered the said returns, and examined Mr. W'. B. Richardson, of the Comptroller's office, on the duties and emoluments of the late Comp troller of the Chamber, and we are of opinion that the se veral duties set out in the return should continue to be per formed in the office of Comptroller of the Chamber. That we also requested the attendance of Mr. Brand, the clerk comptroller of the Bridge-house, and heard and examined him upon the duties of his office; and it appearing to us that the duties and responsibilities of the offices of Comp troller of the Chamber and Clerk Comptroller of the Bridge house were so similar in their character that they could be undertaken and discharged by the same party, we arrived at the unanimous opinion that it is expedient that the office of Clerk Comptroller of the Bridge-house should be united with that of Comptroller of the Chamber, and we recommend this person to this Court. And we also recom mend that this Court should allow the officer who is here after to hold the united offices an income of 1,50 W. a-year, the same to be clear of all expenses of his offices and to in clude all emoluments whatsoever, kc." The report, which is to be taken into consideration orr the next Court day, will, it is believed be adopted as an evidence of the advance of reform in the high offices of the corporation. ADDRESS TO THE KING OF PORTUGAL. Mr. ANDERTON rose to move, "That a congratulatory address be presented to his Majesty the King of Portu gal and his august brother the Duke of Oporto, upon their auspicious visit to this country as the honoured guests of our gracious Sovereign the Queen." The mover shunned all allusion to political matters in introducing the subject, and hoped that the court would come to an unanimous resolution upon the the subject. Deputy HOLT seconded the motion. A discussion, in which nearly three hours were wasted to the neglect of a good deal of important business; took place within closed doors. - We were given to understand that the motion of Mr. Anderton was carried by a very large majority. The Court adjourned the moment the doors were re opened. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, JUNE 15.

THE AUTHOR OF " MARGARET MAITLAND."—Some time has elapsed since we had a tale by the popular author of "Passages in the Life of Mrs. Margaret Mait land." Her numerous admirers will be glad, therefore, to hear that the new work from her pen, entitled "Magdalen Hepburn," has just appeared. " Magdalen Hepburn," like all the writer's former successful produc tions, is a Scottish story, but it is said to comprise such original and striking features as will render it more than usually attractive on both sides of the Tweed. ELECTIONS IN BELGIUM.-13nussims, June 14.—The elections for the nomination of 9 members for the Cham ber of Representatives commenced here yesterday, at 9 a.m. The number of electors was considerable, there having been as many, or more, present on this than on any previous occasion. After a prolonged struggle, which, however, did not present any remarkable point of interest, the 9 candidates of the Liberal Association, MM. de Steen hault, M. de Brouckere, Alb. Dubus, Orts, Verhaegen, ThiC:fry, Previnaire, oblet, and Anspach, were de finitively elected. The results of all the elections are now known. There were 54 Deputies retiring, of whom 44 have been relented; there are consequently but 10 new members—MM. Alb. Dubus, General Goblet, Ver voot, Demoor, and Orban Francotte, belonging to the Liberal, and MM. Alp, Delafaille, Tack, Calmeyn, Wasseige, and Laubin to the Clerical party. Of the 10 Deputies not re-elected six were Liberal and four were of the Clerical party : there is then but the difference of a single voice as the result of the new elections. At Neufchateau, Bruges, and Brussels, the Liberal party triumphantly maintained its ground • but it was not so successful at Antwerp, Courtrai, Naraur, &c, REPORTED BURNING OF THE EUROPA TRANSPORT SHIP AND LOSS OF LIFE. The announcement of this catastrophe, which was com municated to Lloyd's yesterday, at noon, by telegraph from Liverpool, created muck sensation throughout the shipping interest. It took place on the night of the 31st ult., in the Chops of the Channel, not far from the spot where the ill-fated Amazon steamer was destroyed, and there is too much reason to fear that it was attended with very lamentable consequences. The Europa was a fine ship of nearly 800 tons burthen. She was built on the river in 1851, classed A 1 at Lloyd's for six years, and was the property of Mr. Somes, the shipowner, of Blackwall. She was taken up by Government for the conveyance of troops to the East, and, having under gone the necessary survey and equipment for the service, she left the river for Plymouth, her number as a transport being 92. We are informed that she was originally in tended to take out 300 troops, but on reaching Plymouth, on the 23d of last month, the order was given for her to convey cavalry horses and men, and she accordingly received on board the lst division of the Inniskillen Dragoons, 50 in number. Colonel Moore went out in the ship, and two women belonging to the troop. It is also stated that a quantity of ammunition, powder, and shot was shipped in her. The troop having safely em barked on the 29th, the staff and remainder of the regi ment going on in the Lord Raglan and other trans port ships, the Europa, on the following day, was towed out of the Sound into the Channel, the men and officers in the yard, and Admiral Parker with them, cheering loudly, and the soldiers replying with hearty huzzas. She then sailed for the Mediter ranean, the wind being westerly. Nothing more was heard of her until yesterday, when the Arno screw steamer arrived at Liverpool from Marseilles, which place she left on Friday last, and reported that when off Cape St. Mary she fell in with H.M. steam-frigate Tri bune, the commander of which, the Hon. Capt. .Car negie, communicated the total loss by fire of the Europa, which took place on the night of the 31st of May, about two hundred miles from Plymouth, and that the Tribune had on board a part of the survivors. The frigate was on her way from Portsmouth to the Mediterranean, to join the allied fleets in the Black Sea. By this it will be seen that the disaster occurred on the night after the ill-fated ship left Plymouth. With a view of learning more particulars, if possible, of the catastrophe, the number, and who were the survivors, the captain of the Arno was telegraphed to, but he knew no more of the facts than had been given. The Europa was commanded by Captain Warton, and the reporter was informed by Mr. Somes that the ship was efficiently supplied with boats, her crew numbering, including officers, 35. SOLDIERS' EQUIPMENTS. TO TRE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The very just complaints made against the dress and equipment of our soldiers by the press in general, ably assisted by our pioneer Punch, induces me to offer a few remarks on that subject. So unwarrior like is the costume of our soldiers, that fault might be found with it "from head to foot"—aye, " from top to toe," for we can begin with the head-dress, and a more absurd or useless affair never was invented. Why should the man be furnished with a heavy cap many inches higher than his head, with a chain under his chin to keep it on, so that when he is exerting himself, or if it is windy he is obliged to open his mouth to tighten the chin-strap, and prevent it falling off. If the men do not make the required alteration before this campaign is over, by depositing their shakos on the march through the Balkan, and substituting their forage caps, I am very much out of my mark. The "rough and ready" appearance of the Zouaves and other foreign soldiers has caused that vile garotte, the stock, to be discontinued. And Punch's illustration of the chest of drawers ought to be sufficient to cause an alteration in the soldier's kit and knapsack. If not, depend on it the contents will dwindle away, so that by the end of the summer they will have become " small by degrees and beautifully less." But there is another alteration necessary—'tis the doing away with that salt-box of a thing called a pouch. Any one who has witnessed a field-day must have noticed the light infantry, when skirmishing or running fast, steadying with his left hand that box with 60 rounds of ball cartridge. To prevent it banging against his rear, be is compelled to lean forivard to counterbalance its weight, the cross-belts pressing his chest enough to choke him, and making him feel anything but comfortable. But "obedience being the first duty of a soldier," he wears, or carries anything without complaining. It is bad enough for him to suffer thus much on home service ; but as he is about to " rough it" in front of the enemy, let us see if we cannot suggest something to add to his comfort, and make him more efficient. I would do away with the cartouch-box at once, and instead adopt a pouch-belt similar to that worn by the Cazadores and guerillas in the late Spanish War (and admirable light Infantry they were). It is a belt round the waist, buckled behind, and supported by two straps, passing over the shoulders like braces. The cartridges are placed in a single row round the body in sockets and at each end is a small pocket, to hold ten rounds in packet. The number of cartridges round the body is about 30, which, with the two-packets, would make 50 rounds. Thus the weight is equally distributed, and the man has the free use of his limbs to asist him in scrambling through woods, and over broken ground. The cartridge can be handled more readily, and the bayonet hangs on his left rear as at present ; but it appears that little attention has been paid to the im provement of our soldiers' accoutrements, and when we consider what is expected of them, and what they will have to perform on active service, it is the duty of those in authority to turn their attention to it immediately. If I have not trespassed too much on your valuable space, and you should be pleased to insert this, you will much oblige your humble servant, ROUGH AND READY. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. LIVERPOOL, June 15.—The new clipper Lightning, Captain J. N. Forbes, hence for Melbourne, was spoken in lat. 12 13, long. 26 50, by the Great Western, arrived at Southampton. WEXFORD, June 12.—The Niagara, of and for New York, from Liverpool, which was on the rocks off Greenore, Dec. 19, was got off yesterday.

She endured the most excruciating pain both day and night ; and the general opinions of the medical attendants were that it could not be cured, therefore amputation was the only remedy ; however, bad as it was, Holloway's Ointment and Pills were re sorted to, and these miraculous medicines soon produced a wonderful change for the better, and ultimately effected a sound and perfect cure.—Sold by all drug. gists • and at P ro f essor H o llo wa y's Establi s h ment, 244, Strand, London. .
