AQUATICS, THE ROYAL LONDON YACHT CLUB. The first of the series of yachting regattas announced for this week took place yesterday amongst the second and third class yachts of this club, for prizes in plate of the value of £3O and £lO for the former, and of £2O and £3 for the latter, and the following contended : Second Class. Yachts. Tone. Owners. Octoroon Dione .. Folly Vampire 2O .. Capt, Cammick. Dudu .. 15 .. Capts. Baldock and Rudge. Alexandra Third Class. Algerine lO ~ Mr F. Roseman. Vision .. 8 .. Mr G. Harrison. Colleen 8awn........ 10 .. Mr H, Aubrey. The course sailed in the second class was from Erith to South•end pier and back, with a time allowance of half a minute per ton ; and in the third class from Erith to the Chapman Head and back; time, a minute per ton. , The wind at starting was Sal., a nice topsail breeze, but it veered, towards flood, more to the eastward, and then southwarded a great deal. The Qusen of the Thames, ably commanded by Captain Mills, who gave an excellent view of the race throughout, and well provisioned by Mr Ducking, the superintendent of the Alma packets, accompanied the race with a large and fashionable party, and proceeded direct to Erith, where the yachts were in readiness. At 11.27 the commodore. Mr Arcedeckne, gave the sig nal to get in readiness, and at 11h. 32m. to start, They were all very smart and away at the same moment, canting to the northward without loss of time. The yachts were in the rows, the third class line being rather lower than the others. Of the second class the Alexandra, with the best station, made the first board. which example was followed immediately afterwards by the whole of the others, to wea ther the point. Ere the whole had been able to do this, the Vampire and Folly got slightly foul, but there was no mis chief done save that the Folly was in irons for so me time In the third class there was the same alacrity displayed in setting canvas as in the other. The Colleen Bawn was the Irst well under way, followed by the Algerine and Vision almost abeam, but after tha second board the Algerine led wall to windward, followed by the Colleen Bawn, It was a twining wind in Long Reach and Northfleet Hopes, and, after a long leg and a short one in Gravesend Reach, they fetched down to Southend. At Purfleet the Alexandra was well to windward, the Dudu being on a level with her, but dead to leeward ; the Octoroon third, the Vampire fourth, the Folly fifth, and the Dione last. The Algerine was here leading well, the Colleen Bawn being second, and the Vision a good third. Off Northfleet the Vampire passed the Octo roon to windward, and the Dudu shortly afterwards did the same, and became the third boat. In Leigh Roads the Alexandra still led, Vampire being second, the Dudu third, and the 03toroon fourth, all being close hauled, with about 300 yards respectively between them. At Holehaven the Vampire bore away some distance to leeward, and passed her rival, the Alexandra, into the first place. A boat was placed for the third class to round at the Chapman, and the second class rounded the Queen of the Thames at Southend in the following time and order : H. M. 8. Vampire Ali- xandra O u l u oon Folly Dione 2 49 0 In rounding, the Dudu came so close to the steamer as to carry away her topping lift. The small class boats rounded as we have before stated at the Chapman, but were not timed. They were, however, in the following order : A lgerine, Colleen Bawn, and Vision, with the first -named leading well, but not so large a gap between the two latter. The large boats were respectively overtaken in the order which they rounded at Southend ; but when the steamer came level with the Vampire at Holehaven she had in creased her lead of the second boat a quarter of a mile, while the third and fourth were drawing upon the second. It was a dead thrash up through both et the Hopes, and while the Vampire gradually increased her lead, the Dudu, in Gravesend Reach, went through the Alex andra's lee, and came out at her weather, and the race CITY SEWERS COMMISSION. Yesterday, at 12 o'clock, a meeting of the Commissioners of Sewers of the City of London was held at Guildhall, under the presidency of Henry de Jersey, Esq., Deputy. THE GAS SUPPLY TO THE CITY. Mr R. J. CHAPLIN brought under the notice of the Com mission the question relating to the gas supply in the City, and said he thought the time had arrived when some deci sive thorn to ensure for the public a more public lamps than was at present action should satisfactory b light to sent furnished. During the l ast 6 months numerous r lei taken b t the e complaints had been made by the ratepayers of the unsatis factory mode in which the contracts fur lighting the City were was out; to a a p ia p d o h m e ta tho ught the best way to deal with the being subject carried special committee to in vestigate all the circumstances, and b r i ng up a report to the Court upon the subject. Ho concluded b y mov i ng, " Th at the citizens of London have for a long time been suffering from an insufficient supply of gas, and that supply being under the superintendence and charg e of the Commissioners of Sewers, a subcommittee be a ppointed for the pu r p ose o f i ascertaining the cause of such nsufficiency, with power to make such investigation, and to take su c h steps as may ap pear desirable, with a view to its i mprovement, both in quantity and quality, and to ensure to the consumer a more pure and brilliant light." Deputy FARRAR seconded the motion. Deputy CHAIRMAN suggested that as the question of the supply of gas had been frequently referred to the General Purposes Committee, the better way would be to ask that committee to report to the neat Court u p on all the several outstanding references bearing upon th e question. Deputy WHITE agreed with the ch a i rman, and moved an amendment in accordance with his suggestion. Deputy PERKINS seconded the amendment. Mr SAMUEL GREEN thought that too much latitude had been given to the gas companies by the Commission, and he said as they had power uncler the act to compel them to supply a pure gas, it was their duty to enforce that power to the utmost. The supply at the present moment was, he maintained, most unsatisfactory, and it was the duty of the committee acting on behalf of the public to alter the exist ing state of things with the least possible delay. Mr. J. E. SAUNDERS (one of the representatives of the City at the Metropolitan Board of Works) said he considered the subject under discussion to be of a most i mportant cha racter; and he regretted to say, in reference to it, that the Commission had not moved ahead as they had in several other matters. The lighting of the first metropolis in the world was a matter of no small significance, and it behoved them to carry out the act of Parliament which regulated the supply of gas in such a manner as to be able to retain for themselves the confidence of their fellaw citizens. (Hear.) After some further discussion the amendment was nega tived, and the original motion of Mr. Chaplin was then agreed to. DISEASED MEAT. A. J. BAYLIS, Esq., solicitor to the Commission, stated that he had made inquiries into the circumstances under which a quantity of diseased meat was sent from Arbroath, in Scotland, to Newgatc-mlrket. The meat in question was part of a cow which had died after several days' illness and physicking, from fever. It was taken from the farm and dressed, by a person named in the report, for human food. A portion of the meat was sold in Arbroath, and the person who had dressed the meat and sold it had been summoned under the Nuisances Removal Act, and was there fiacd £5 and costs, Tho remainder wa, sent to London, and upon its arrival at Nowgate- market was seTz2d by the inspector. The solicitor added, that from the inquiries he had made ho had ascertained that the person implicated had for some time past been dealing extensively in diseased meat, both in that town and in sending it up to London, and that he had in fact been making a trade of it. It was decided to instruct the solicitor to take the neces • sary steps for prosecuting the guilty party. THE SANATORY CONDITION OF THE CITY. Dr. LETHERY reported that 304 houses had been inspected during the past week, and he submitted a list of 124 places for sanatory improvement. He also submitted a list of places requiring further proceedings on account of orders already issued but not yet complied with. All the bakehouses in the City had been inspected during the week, and with five exceptions they were found in a clean and proper condition. In those five instances the orders of the Court wore required for the cleansing of the bakehouses. The medical officer submitted a list of the courts and alleys which require flushing during the summer months. The markets and slaughter-houses have been duly in spected, and the officers have condemned 1,835 lbs of meat as unfit for human food. Nearly the whole of it was in a diseased condition. a last rh 0 lungs, oe uitpnguig s , The mortality return s f or the week are below the average for the season.

The promoters of the Worcester and Dean Forest hav ing finished their case, the bill of the Gloucester and Led bury Railway was taken. It propos e , with a capital of £200,000 in shares, and £66,000 loan, to construct an aggre gate length of railways of 19 miles from about two miles east of the Gloucester station of the Midland Railway to Marse more, and thence to a junction with the Great Western and Worcester and Hereford at Ledbur Y 9 with branches to the Forest of Dean and Monmouth Railways, to lay down ad ditional lines for the narrow gauge on the Gloucester and Dean Forrest, an d to maks working and traffic arrangements with neighbouring railways. Tho proposed new line will cross the eastern branch of the Severn about a mile above Gloucester by a bridge of two arches, and the western branch by a bridge of three branches. Witnesses were examined by Mr Crippa in favour of the project. The promoters of the Lancashire Railways are still engaged in a contest upon clauses. The bills for the projected North Durham Railways are withdrawn. The following bills being unopposed were passed through committee :—Peterborough, Wisbech, and Sutton Railway, for extensions to contract these places with the Great Eastern Railway to raise addditional sums of £105,000 by shares, of which £BO,OOO is in respect of a de ficiency in the estimate of expense under the act of 1863, and £25,000 in respect of the estimates for the new works, and £35,000 by loan, as well as to attach at 6 per cent. pre ference dividend to shares in the authorised and proposed capitals to an amount not exceeding £130,000. The line will cross the river Nene by a bridge at Wisbech, with tramways along its western shore.

The bill to empower the Great GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. An extraordinary general meeting of this company, ad journed from 31st May, took place yesterday at the Bing's Cross station, for the purpose of considering certain bills now pending in Parliament ; Colonel Packe, M.P., in the chair. Resolutions were proposed approving the following bills the heads of which were read by the solicitor, and briefly explained by the chairman :—To enable the Great Northern Railway Company to extend their railway from Lincoln to the Boston, Sleaford, and Midland Counties Railway, and from Sleaford to the Bourne and Essendine Railway at Bourne, and to authorise the amalgamation of the said two undertakings with the Great Northern Railway. To enable the Groat Northern Railway Comp . any to complete their loop line between Doncaster and Gainsborough ; and to improve the gradients of their railway south of Gains borough. To authorise the constriction of a railway in the borough of Liverpool to be called the Liverpool Central Station Railway, subject to such alterations as may be deemed necessary by the directors of the company. To authorise the construction of a railway from Alford to Mablethorpe, in the county of Lincoln, and for other pur poses, subject to such alterations as may be deemed neces sary by the directors of the company. For affording in. creased facilities for the transmission of traffic between the railways of the London and North Western Railway Com pany and several railways in Ireland, subject to such altera tions as the directors may deem advisable. These resolu tions having been adopted without discussion, the meeting separated with the usual vote of thanks. THE NEW ZEALAND WAR. (From the London Gazette.) The Secretary of State for War has received despatches from Lieutenant-General Sir D. A. Cameron, K.C.8., commanding her Majesty's forces in New Zealand. Lieu tenant-General Cameron states in his first despatch, dated head quarters, Punkerimu, March 28, that after the expulsion of the rebels from the neighbourhood of Te Awamutu, reported in his former despatch, he arranged with the Governor that his next operations should be directed against Mangatautari, to which place the Waikatos under the celebrated chief William Thompson, had retired after their defeat at Rangiriri. Having garrisoned the redoubts at Te Awamutu, Rangiawhia, and Kihikihi, and stationed a force of eight hundred men to support them and to oppose any attempt that might be made by the natives to return to and occupy that district, and hav ing placed the whole under command of Brigadier- General Carey, whom he transferred from the command at Tauranga for that purpose, he marched a force consisting of 4 field officers, 10 captains, 20 lieutenants, 3 staff, 50 ser geants, 17 drummers, 836 rank and file on the 22d inst., and encamped at Pukerimu, on the left bank of the Upper Waikato, seven miles from a position which the natives had fortified for the purpose of obstructing his advance to Man gatautari. Commodore Sir W. Wiseman also arrived the same day at Pukerimu with the Avon and Koheroa from Ngaruawahia. He reconnoitered the position closely on the following day and found that it consisted of two strong earthworks, well flanked and palisaded, 450 yards distant from each other, and constructed on a spur of the Pukekura range. The lower work, the largest and principal one, was about 600 yards from the river. The two works completely blocked the road to the settlement of Mangatautari, which was five miles behind them. He established a post on each bank of the river near this camp for the protection of the supplies and stores, Commodore Sir W. Wiseman having ascertained that the river could not be navigated higher by the steamers with safety. in the second despatch, dated Headquarters, Pukerimu, April 1, Gene? al Cameron states that in a reconnaisance at Kaitake on March 11 Major Butler carried out his instruc tions with great judgment, and the detachment under his command behaved most gallantly. Insubsequent operations Col. Warre displayed great ability, and his skilful arrange ments for the attack of Kaitake resulted in the acquiring a most important position with very few casualties to the troops engaged. Lieut. Larcom, Royal Artillery, although severely wounded, remained with his gun until this detach ment retired. At Kaitake on 11th March Private Michael Kennedy, 57th Regiment, was killed. Besides Lieut. Larcom, there were wounded—James Adley, John Chamberlain, William Henry, Charles Keane, and M. Stagpole. In subsequent operations at An-Au on the 24th, and Kaitake on 25th March, there were wounded—Privates Thomas Bishop, Martin Hynes, Wm. Neary, and Sergeant Jas. Appleby. In a report to General Cameron, dated Camp Te Awa mutu, April 3, General Carey states that at midnight Major Blyth, 40th Regiment, marched with 250 men, with direc tions to take the road to the right, to cross and recross the Punia River, and to gain the rear of the enemy's position before daylight, halting there until he should hear his at tack, and then to dispose of his force so as to cut off the re treat of the enemy. The road from Rangiawhia to Orakau General Cary found en inquiry to be very difficult, being intercepted by deep swamps and thick bush. However, having every confidence in Captain Blewitt's energy, he dieected that officer, who commands at Rangiawhia, to march during the night, and endeavour to form a junction with him before daylight on the proper right of the enemy's position, bringing with him 100 men. At 3 o'clock on Thursday morning, the 31st ultimo, he marched with the main body, along the dray road to Kihi Kihi, taking on Lieut.-Colonel Haultain and 150 men from the post, and then he proceeded by the same road to the village of Orakau, which he reached without opposition as the day dawned. The enemy, evidently taken by surprise, opened fire on the advance guard, composed of 120 of the Royal Irish and 20 Forest Rangers, gallantly led by Capt. Ring, 18th Royal Irish, and supported by 100 of the 40th Regiment, who immediately rushed forward to the attack in skirmishing order. The position being found very strong (an earthwork, with strong flank defences, deep ditches, with posts and rails outside, and nearly covered from view by flax bushes, peach trees, and high fern), this party were forced to retire. but at once reformed, and, teing reinforced by another company of the 40th Regiment, again tried to take the place by assault, but with no better success, Here Capt. Ring, 18th Royal Irish, fell mortally wounded, and Capt. Fisher, 40th Regi ment, severely so, besides four men killed and several wounded. On Capt. Ring's falling, Capt. Baker, 18th Royal Irish, Deputy-Assistant Adjutant-General, most gallantly galloped up, dismounted, and, calling for volun teers, again endeavoured to carry the place by assault. This also failed. Finding that there was no chance of taking the pah in this manner, from its immense strength, and other men having fallen, he determined to desist from this mode of attack, and having heard that both Major Blyth, 40th Regiment, and Capt. Blewitt, 65th Regiment, were at their appointed posts, he decided on surrounding the place, and adopting the more slow but sure method of approaching the position by sap, which was shortly after commenced, under the able directions of Lieutenant Hurst, 12th Ragt., attached to the Royal Engineer Department. During the afternoon a reinforcement of some 150 or 200 of the enemy. from the direction of Maungatautari, appeared in sight, evidently determined on relieving the place. They advanced to a bush situate about 600 yards in rear of our outposts, bnt seeing that it was scarcely possible to break through the line formed by our troops, they halted and comm enced firing volleys, at the same time exciting the men in the pah to increased energy by dancing the war dance, shouting, &c. Heavy firing was kept up by the enemy on the troops both in the sap and around the place during the day and night, causing but few casualties, the men contriv ing to cover themselves in temporary rifle pits dug out with their bayonets and hands. A reinforcement of 200 men, under the command of Captain Inman, 18th Royal Irish, reached General Carey from headquarters during the afternoon, Having reported his proceedings to the Commander of the Forces in the morning, he received a reinforcement of 189 rank and file, guided by Captain Gresves, D.A., Quartermaster General. It arrived about daylight on the morning of the Ist April, and enabled General Carey to relieve the men in the sap more constantly, and therefore to carry on the work more quickly. This day was spent in working at the sap and making rifle pits around the pah, few casualties occurring. Capt. Betty, R.A., arrived during the day, and assumed command of the Royal Artillery. At an early hour on the morning of the 2d April Lieut.-Col. Sir Henry Havelock, Deputy-Assistant Quartermaster- General, arrived with hand grenades, which were at once thrown into the enemy's position with great effect by Sergeant M'Kay, R.A., who thus rendered good and gallant service, at great personal risk, under a galling fire. About noon cieneral Carey ordered Capt. Betty, R.A., to have a six-pounder Armstrong gnu carried into the sap. PRICE ..4d. STAMPED ....sd. An entrance having been made, it opened fire on the enemy's work, destroying the palisading, making a considerable breach, and silencing in a great measure the fire of the enemy on the men engaged at the head of the sap. The Commander of the Forces, with the Staff, &c., arrived on the ground at this time and witnessed the remainder of the operations. Col. Mould, C. 8., R.E,, coming up with Gen. Cameron, gave his able assistance towards the completion of the sap into the enemy's work, As it was known that women and children were in the pah, the enemy was called upon to surrender previous to the concentrated fire of the Armstrong gun and hand grenades on their work, they wet e told that their lives would be spared, and, if they declined, they were requested a.; least to have compassion on their women and children and send them out. They replied that they would not do so, but would fight to the last. The pah was then carried, the enemy effecting his escape from the opposite side of the work dashed through a space from which the troops had been thrown back under cover, to enable the gun to open. They were, however, speedily followed up, and suffered a severe loss during a pursuit of nearly six miles. Lieut. Rait, R.A., with his troopers, and Capt. Pye, Colonial Defence Force, with a small detachment, having headed them and kept them back until the infantry came up. The troops were recalled about sun down, and bivouacked around the enemy's late position. The loss of the enemy was considerable, amounting to 101 killed, besides 18 to 20 reported by native prisoners as buried in the pah, 26 wounded and taken prisoners, and 7 taken prisoners. In the engagement at Orakan Captain Ring, 3d Battalion 18th Regiment, a brave and promising young officer, whose galiant conduct Lieutenant-General Cameron had twfce brought under notice, was killed. There were also killed— Sergeant William Lawson, R.A.; Sergeant Hugh Duncan, 40th Regiment ; Lance Corporal John Barnet, 65th Regi ment; Drummer Robert Gilligan, 65th Regiment; Private Thomas Maskell, 70th Regiment; Sergeant William Tay lor, F.R. ; Private Charles Coghlan, F.R. ; Corporal Arm. strong, W.M.; Private John Leaky, W.M, The following were wounded :—Driver W. Buckingham, R.A., Privates J. Clarkson, 12th Regiment, James Bevill, John Carroll, Michael Bellaine, Thomas Traynor, and Hugh Cassidy, Corporal Johnson, Drummer James Lyon, Lance-Corporal George Carroll, Privates John Close, G. Thomas, Patrick Fay, John O'Donnell, John Carlyle, Jas, Stanton, George Gallagher, Thomas Harman, and Jen kins, 18th Regiment—Captain L. W. Fisher, Sergeant W. Gould, Corporal William Wilson, Privates Charles Gibby, Alfred Whitty, Thomas Brennan, Samuel Johnson, Martin O'Farrell, George Williams, George Palmer, John Oiling ton, George Hoare, James Sturgeon, John Sedley, James Shattock, Richard Graham, James Cox, Herbert Blake, Patrick Connell, 67th Regiment.—Ensign Alfred Chayter, Privates James Ford, Vim, Meehan, George Whitfield, Edward Melly, Wm. Dwyer, Denis M'Grath, Thos. Ken nedy, 70th Regt., George Courtney, Peter Petit, Sergeant R. Kendwick, Privates W. Coady, James Tully, Wm. Mol loy, Joseph Worby, and John Leeky. Militia.—Captain Harford, Privates John Lovett, Daniel Callaghan, and Preston, In a despatch, dated Head-quarters, Pukerimu, April 4, referring to the engagement on the 30th at Orakau, Gen. Cameron says :—The skill with which the enemy's works was suddenly invested on every side reflects great credit on Gen. Carey, who, by the manner in which he has con ducted previous operations entrusted to him in this war, has proved himself a very able and zealous officer. He also draws attention to the services of the officers and non •com missioned officers reported by Gen. Carey as having dis tinguished themselves in this attack, particularly captain Baker, Deputy-Assistant- Adjt.-General, Captain Greaves, Deputy-Assist.- Quartermaster-General, and Lieut. Hurst, Ist battalion, 12th Regt., Assistant-Engineer. In conclu sion, he pays a tribute to the heroic courage and devotion of this band of natives, who, without water, and with but little food for more than two days, and deprived of all hope of succour, held out so long against a vastly superior force, and at last, disdaining to surrender, silently and deliberately abandoned their position under a terrific fire. The last despatch is dated Pukerimu, New Zealand, April 5, 3 p.m. In it General Cameron says that in mak ing a reconnaissance of the rebel position at Mangatautari that morning, from the right bank of the Waikato, he found that the natives had just abandoned it, and were retiring up the left bank of the river. He had sent a detachment to occupy it. Naval and Military Intelligence. 41;. The Channel fleet arrived at Spithead yesterday after noon from Plymouth Sound. At 2 p.m. the fleet was off Ventner, Isle of Wight, passing to the eastward under easy sail, with the Trinculo gunboat, tender t ) the flagship, some d stance ahead, and pressing on under steam and sail fur Spithead. At 230 p.m. the fleet opened out to sight from Portsmouth round Bembridge ledge, the flagship leading under her three topsails, fore-course, and foretopmast stay sail, in close company with the Black Prince, Warrior, and Defence, under all tail. In another half hour the Prince Consort opened the ledge, under all sail and with steam up, closing up with the other ships. The Warrior and Black Prince mood out to windward for some time to allow the two rams to take up their position astern of the Admi ral, which having been accomplished the Edgar's main course was dropped, her topgallant sails, royals, and stud ding sails set, and her course laid for Spithead. The other ships bore up in her wake, the Defence being second, the Prince Consort third, the Black Prince fourth, and the Warrior last. The ironclads ran in with their engines work ing in addition to their canvas, but the flagship was under sail alone. The wind was now freshening from the S,S.W., and it would be almost impossible to imagine a more ani mated spectacle than the ships presented in this position. It was generally admitted that, noble as are the proportions of the four ironclads, they yesterday suffered much, so far as relates to mere outward appearance from a distance, by comparison with the Edgar under sail, with her loftier spars and more compact set of canvas. At 4 p.m. the Edgar had gained the eastern side of Spithead roadstead, where she took in all her light sails and saluted with her guns the flag of Admiral Sir M. Seymour, G.C.8., flying on board the Victory. She shortly afterwards anchored in her selected berth, the ironclads at the same time taking in all sail, and assuming their positions,in obedience to signal, under steam, and joining the Hector ironclad, previously anchored there. The fleet now lies at Spithead anchored in two lines, the weather line being composed of the Edgar, wooden screw line-of-battle ship, 3,094 tons, 71 guns, and 600 horse power, Capt. G. T. P. Hornby, bearing the flag of the Admiral commanding, Rear-Admiral of the Red Sydney Colpoys Dacres, C. 8.; the Warrior, iron frigate, 6,109 tons, 40 guns and 1,250 horse power, Capt. Arthur A. Cochrane, C. 8.; and the Black Prince, iron frigate, 6,109 tons, 1,350 horse power, and 40 guns, Capt. James F. B. Wainwright. The lee line is composed of the Hector, iron frigate, 4,089 tons, 34 guns, and 800 horse power, Capt. George W. Preedy, C. 8,; the Defence, iron frigate, 3,720 tons, 16 guns, and 609 horse power, Capt. A. Phillimore; and the Prince Consort, iron cased frigate, 4,045 tons, 35 guns, and 1,000 horse power, Capt. G. 0. Willes, C.B. The Edgar and Hector hold the eastern end, and the Black Prince and Prince Con sort the western end of the position. The Trinculo gunboat is anchored inshore of the fleet. Rear-AdmiralDacres's fleet as it now lies at Spithead, possesses a collective force of 237 guns, carried by a gross tonnage of 26,985, and propelled by an engine power of 5,600 horse, nominal. Shortly after the Edgar anchored at Spithead, Rear-Admiral Dacres em barked on board the Fire Queen steam yacht, Master Com mander Paul, and, proceeding into Portsmouth harbour, landed at the dockyard, The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. R. Mansel, to the Implacable ; Lieut. R. ff. Moubray, to the Pembroke. Sub- Lieut. William H. Lewin and Gerard R. Bromley, midshipman, have been appointed to the Prince Consort. Messrs. R. L. Mundy and Gerald R. Maltby have been nominated to naval cadetships. The following appointment has been made in the Royal Naval Reserve :—To be Sub-Lieut., Wm. Withers, The return to England of the two battalions of Guards now in Canada will necessitate a new distribution of the brigade, and we think the authorities may in the meantime look with advantage to some alteration of the system which was in operation at the time of their sudden depar ture for America. Before the Crimean war the brigade as a general rule was thus distributed—four battalions at the West-end of London, one at the Tower, one at Wrdsor, and one at Chichester. After the Crimean war the arrange ment was so far altered that Chichester was abandoned as a Guards' station, and a battalion was sent to Dublin every year, which was only done at rare intervals previously. When the two battalions now under orders return we may expect the old arrangements as regards the metropolis and Windsor to be resumed; but with reference to the location of the remaining battalion, there appears to us to be a good deal to be said in favour of going back to Chichester and abandoning Dublin as a Guards' station, The barracks, we believe, have been empty since the Chichester depot been distributed among other battalions. Susse x has always waya ceu a good recruiting-ground for the Grenadier andGuards,_ the continuous in e continuous presence of a battalion in the districtwoul n no small degree contribute to fill the ranks, a co ideration which should not be put aside in t hese days s: of ten s • in favour of enlistment exigencies. But the great a Chichester is the effect it would bo likely to have on th.) health of the men by giving them a periodical relief from the heavy sentry duty, which is at the bottom Thisttomo fthe high rate of mortality in th e Brigade of ne •duty is most heavy in the West-end quarters and at Windsor, and though we believe not quite so bad, it is still very serious at the Tower. In a large garrison like Dublin, with all manner of guards and a vice-regal Court, it is also very heavy indeed. Thus every station of the Guards involves garrison duties and many nights out of bed, This certainly seems to necessitate some alteration of a programme so un varyingly severe. By the substitution of Chichester for Dublin it would be accomplished, and once every three years and a half a battalion might look forward to six /7 ' , - - /- .i f 4 s i ~~~' months' quiet, easy duty in a most healtlV-iLaiinii ti fik,44 close to the sea, and away from the abolortinilarr4 , , : towns. The change would be a benefit rat bah to the Line, for it would give one more popular a `,4' Line battalion ; and, as we shall have four more line batta lions in future on our home establishment, in consequence of the evacuation of the lonian Islands, this is a considera tion that should not be lost sight of. 'We hope that the question will have the early attention of the authorities, so that due provision may be made by the time the two batta lions from Canada return home. Determined Suicide at Gordon's Brewer.-, Caledonian-Road. Oa Monday night Dr. Hardwicke, the deputy coroner, and a respectable jary met at the Cale donian Arms publichou.?e, Caledonian-read, to in quire into the circumstances teaching the death of George Strutt, aged 18, who committed suicide c,t Gordon's Brewery, Caledonian-road, by shooting himself, on Sltarday last.

The deces: , ed was my brother, and was a h ing lc man. He was 18 years of age, and assi:t,d in the bettliom department of Gordou's Brewery, Caledonian-road'. I saw him last alive at about a quarter to two last Saturday. He was then in his bedroom at home, writing a letter. He resided with me at the aboNe address. He was in his usual state of mind, and I saw nothing strange in his manner. He left me to go to his work. Between two and three that after noon 1 heard that my brother had met with an accident. I went to the brewery and found him dead. I was told that my brother had shot himself; but I know nothing of it. The body the jury heve seen is the body of my brother. I was not aware that my brother had a pistol in his possession. He received a letter on Saturday, at about one o'clock. The letter addressed to ElizAbeth Osborne is in his handwriting. By the Coroner—My brother was a man of steady habits. lam positive of that, and I never once saw him the worse for liquor. Inspector Terry, N division, said-0 u Saturd3y afternoon I was sent for from the station to see the deceased at the brewery. I sent for a surgeon st once. It was about 25 minutes past two. I took a pistol out of the left hand of the deceased. On him I found one letter, of which the following is a copy " Dear Elizabeth Osborne—l have done this through your treatment of me. You was going on like a com moner the last time I was out with you. I do this through Elizabeth Osborne, 2, Smith•terrace, Hornsey-road." At the lodgings of the deceased I found the follow ing letter : " May 26, 1864. " To Mr George Strutt,—l write to inform you that I don't intend to have further correspondence with you from this day. ELIZBIETH OSBORNE." In a drawer in the deceased's room I also found a letter as follows : " May 29, 1864. " Dear George,—l am very sorry to tell you that I shall not be out to-night, but if you like I shall be out on Wed nesday evening, and if you like to go to the concert room I shall see you at seven o'clock. " From your affectionate lover, " ELIZABETH OSBORNE." The Inspector continued—l also found at the brewery some common shot, some powder, and one cap, and I ascertained that these were purchased at 15, Arthur-terrace, Caledonian-road. The pistol was purchased at Mr. Hawkins's on the day of his decease. The pistol, shot, and powder was pur chased within one hour of the deceased committing the rash act. Mr. Henry Biliinghurst, M.D., Church-row, Is. lington, showed the cause of death was tie wound caused by the pistol-shot, Joseph Sarson—l am bottler at Gordon's Brewery. The deceased worked with me in the bottling de partment. I found the deceased at twenty minutes past two. On going through the cellars I found hitt on the floor dead. He was qui!e dead, and the whole of his face was smashed in. I told one of th© clerks, and then I went to the police.station. I ilid not hear the pistol shot. I was not in the' rewer7. The deceased was a v! - .ry 4teilf'iy, quiet trv,n. never spoke with:Ait he was spoken to. When I left to go horn() at one o'clock tte deceased wss iu his usual health and spirits, and did not teem at all despendirg. Mix both (Morn° said the deceaeed was a very violent tempered young man. Si e had written a letter to him on Friday night declining to corres pond with him any more. In that letter Ehe told him that ehe did not want to see him coy more, and that sl -. .e did not wish him to write to her. She last saw him alive on Wednesday. His temper was so violent that she began to be afraid of him. He had threatened her life, end once attempted it when he was in a passion. On one occasion he said she had another suitor, and he then took off his cap, threw it on the ground, and trampled on it. There was no occasion for his being jealous of her. She told him in her letter that his language to her was dis graceful, and if he had any respect for her he would. not have said it in her presence. She had walked. out with him for about six months. She always considered him a steady young man, and he never took any drink, with the exception of one glass of ale, when he was out with her. A gentleman from the brewery said he believed the deceased was a steady man, and was rather of a sullen disposition. Theca was a boy in attendance who saw the deceased with the pistol in his hand a short time before he killed himself, and he then said, in answer to the questions, that he had pur chased the pistol for the purpose of killing birds. The Jury returned a verdict to the Effect that the deceased destroyed himself when in a state of tem porary insanity. New Street in Southwark, Yesterday a new and commodious thoroughfare, intended as a continuation eastward into the populous districts of Bermondsey and Rotherhithe of the main street recently opened between the borough of Southwark and the western parts of the 'metropolis by way of Stamford-street, was dedi cated to th e p u bli c use in presence of M r Th wa i tes, the chairman of the Metropolitan Board of Works, the members of the Local Board for the district of St. Olave, and many other of the principal inhabitants. The new street, which connects Bermondsey and old St. Thomas's street, is about 1,050 ft long and 40ft wide, and has been made by the London and Brighton Railway Company, at a cost of about £7,000 exclusive of allowances for compensation, at the instance and under the supervision of the Local Board of Works. This great local improvement, for such it is beyond all ques tion, is said to be mainly due to the Board of Works for St. Olave. A year or two ago when the London and Brighton Railway Company were applying to P a rliament for powers to enlarge their station a t L on d on -b r idge and to improve its approaches by buying up m u c h of the surrounding property, the Local Board succee d e d i n procuring the introduction of clauses into the company's bill which they have since made subservient to the public convenience b y inducing the rail way authorities to construct the new thoroughfare, in con sideration of their having for their own purposes greatly altered the configuration of the district. This the company have done, too, wholly at their own expense, but th ey h ope ob e morn than recouped in time by rents to be d er i ve d from letting the arches of their viaduct which ski r t s one t ro ta a r r c e e side of the street. The street runs through a populous district, intersected until now by a number of little narrow an d tortuous alley s, for which it is substituted, but it i s sa id to have disp laced the dwellin gs of about 200 of th e labouringpe oar t know ulassea who have in co nsequence gone no one ap whither, but prob a bl y, as they are bound to the locality by ties of interest, to herd in neighbourhoods already densely crowded. At th e opening ceremony yester day Mr Thwaites, the chairman of the Metropolitan Board, took occasion to dilate on the g,i eat public works in con nexion with the Thames Einhankrre nt ou which the Board are now engaged, and w hi ch, he said, when completed, in conjunction with the new street from the Mansion-house to Blacktriars-bridge, would afford a commodious thorough fare, 100tt in width for the greater part, from the heart of the city to the Houses of Parliament, in place of Cheapside, Ludgate-hill, Fleet-street, and the Strand. He mentioned, too, as a g ra tif y i ng c i rcumstance t o the tax-paying com munity throughout th e m etropolis, that by an arrangem en t which the Metropolitan Board is now making the Chancellor of the Exchequer, instead of the Board raising money to carry out its gigantic enterprises at the rate of 9i which alon e w ill e ff ec t a saving t c per cent., it will obtain it from t he G overnment at per cent.—an the ye n operation,6oo a year, over a p er i o d of 18i years. ratepa h r atepayers of o f said,xlB, THE NEW POLICE CAP , — Yesterday, on the occa sion of her Majesty's drawing-room, a number of the men belonging-to the A division wore the new cap on duty.
