Some surprise has been occasioned this morn ing in monetary and commercial circles by the announcement of a sudden advance in the minimum rate of interest and discount at the Bank of England from 4 to 5 per cent. This measure has no doubt been adopted more from prudentiAl motives than from any large de mand for money, either immediate or prospective. The Banks of Holland and Frankfort have just en hanced their rates, France and Amsterdam did the same but a short time since, and there appears to be a very general opinion, amounting more to a cer tainty than a probability, that the Council of the Bank of France must make a further rise in their rate of discount. Paris is jast now absorbing a ll the supplies of gold she can obtain, and iu their owe interest the authorities have been compelled to adopt a policy that will in some degree check the drain that has lately set in. The Joint Stock Banks have raised their rate of interest on deposits to 4 per cent, Following the same course the private discount firms now offer 4 per cent, for money at call, and 44 per cent, at 7 days' notice of withdrawal. There is an active demand for money at the ad vanced quotation. The general business of the Port of London last week exhibited more activity. At the Custom House 368 vessels. The accounts from the various manufacturing districts for the past week have generally been satisfactory. The woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has been seasonably active, while at Manchester the high rates demanded by spinners and manufacturers for both yarns and cloths has, in some measure, checked business. I❑ the hosiery and lace departments of Leicester and Nottingham there has been little variation, and in the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolver hampton no material change could be reported.

LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 2, 1863, Day, MARK-LANE. In the country markets held on Saturday there was a fair demand for English wheat, and all good and fine qu.alf ties ruled firm in price. Malting barley sold steadily, at full quotations, but grinding and distilling qualities, includ ing oats, beans, and peas, met a dull inquiry at about pre vious rate. Flour changed hands to a moderate extent, on former terms. As regards the export trade the American grain markets are very inactive. On the continent the demand for all descriptions of grain is in a sluggish state. The supplies of English grain received up to our market last week, but moderate. The imports from abroad com prised 25,407 quarters of wheat-13,205 barley-32,202 oats-709 beans-35 tares-4,810 linseed-5,052 oilseeds -253 sundry seeds-875 sacks and 8,350 barrels of flour. A small supply of home-grown wheat was received fresh up to this morning's marker. A few parcels were on sala in poor condition, but, generally sneaking, the quality of the produce was good. Both for red and white samples the trade ruled firm, and last Monday's quotations were well supported. At the Close of business a clearance had been effected at that day's rates. There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on the stands. The transactions in most descriptions were tolerably large, and prices ruled firm. A fair business was transacted in floating cargoes of grain at late quotations. The show of fine malting barley on affix was very mode• rate, and such samples commanded extreme rates. With secondary qualities, however, the market was well supplied, and the demand ruled inactive at about previous quotations. Grinding and distilling parcels met a tlow sale on former terms. The demand for malt was in a sluggish state at late cur rencies. The supply of new produce was small. The supply of oats was again very large. In prices scarcely any change took place from Monday last, but in ferior qualities were difficu t of sale, even at the recent low prices. For good and fine produce there was a fair average inquiry at last Monday's currency. Beans—the supply of which was moderate —moved off slowly at the late fall in their value. With peas the market was but moderately supplied, especially with foreign qualities, and the trade ruled steady at late rates. Both English and foreign flour moved off steadily. Town-made was reduced 3s per 28Abs. CURRENCY PER IMPEItJAL MEASURE.

This morning the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, the Recorder, and the other civic functionaries attended the Lord Chan collor, for the purpose of presenting, for her Majesty's ap proval, Mr. Alderman Lawrence, whom the citizens had elected to fill the office of Lord Mayor of London for the ensuing year. The Lord Chancellor was attired in his full State robes of office, and attended by his secretary and purse bearer. The RECORDER advanced and formally introduced the Lord Mayor elect. He remarked that Mr. Alderman Law rence, whom the citizens had elected to fill the office of Lord Mayor of London, was a gentleman in all respects eminently qualified to fill the high and responsible office. For many years he had carried on a large business, and in all his dealings had been characcerised by honour and in tegrity. The learned gentleman then proceeded to give an account of Alderman Lawrence's antecedents, [lading that he was held in the highest possible esteem by his fellow citizens, and that he had the greatest confidence in present ing him to his lordship for her Majesty's approval. The Lotto CHANCELLOR then addressed the Lord Mayor elect, and said it was with the greatest satisfaction that he bad to announce that her Majesty highly approved of the choice which the citizens of London had made in electing Mr. Alderman Lawrence to fill the office of Lord Mayor, an office which was worthy the highest ambition of the mast distinguished man the city of London could produce, His Lordship then alluded to the part the worthy alderman had already taken in pub lic affairs, and concluded by saying that as the Chief Judge at the Central Crininal Court, he had no doubt he would discharge his duty with the same carefulness and zeal as all his predecessors. In every respect he felt peculiarly gratified in expressing to Alderman Lawrence her Ma jesty's high approval of the choice which the citizens had electing him to be chief magistrate o f th e Ci ty of made Lond in electing The LORD CHANCELLOR then advarced to the Lord Mayor and shook hands with him, as also the other civic dignitaries present. The loving cup having been handed round, the civic party retired. Commencement of Term.—This Day. The business in the superior courts of law was resumed in the morning the Judges, Queen's Counsel, and the leading members of the bar, were entertained at breakfast by the Lord Chancellor, according to annu.l custom, and afterwards they went in procession to Westminster -hall to open their respective Courts. There were a great many persons assembled within the hall to witness their lordships' arrival. The public business did not commence until a very late hour. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. Owing to the prevailing heavy gales, the show of foreign stock in our market to .day was very moderate. The demand was, therefore, tolerably active, and prices had an upward tendency. The arrival of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis tricts, as well as from Ireland, ware moderately good, but from Scotland were limited. The general quality of the stock was very middling. Prime beasts commanded a steady sale at fully last week's prices, the top figure being quite 5s per 81bs. Second qualities of beef advanced 2d per Slbs, and all other kinds sold at extreme rates. Nearly the whole of the supply brought forward changed hands. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 2,200 shorthorns, &c. ; from other parts of England, 800 various breeds; from Scotland, 33 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 600 oxen and heifers. We were very scantily supplied with sheep as to num ber, but their condition was tolerably prime. For all breeds there was a good demand, at an advance in the quotations of 2d per 81bs. Prime Downs and half- breds sold readily, at an advance of 2d per 81bs. The general top figure was 5e Bd, but a few pens realised 5s 10d per 81bs.

The wool trade, both has regards home-grown and colonial qualities, is very firm as regards prices; but, owing to the proximity of the public sales, which wilt commence on Thursday next, the amount of business doing is by n o means extensive. The import, last week, was 1,673 hales TEE GALE, In London the wind continued high during the whole of Saturday, and yesterday there were several strong gusts, a ccompanied by showers. Between 12 and 1 o'clock on Saturday afternoon an accident happened in one of the poorest districts of Bethnal green. A poor woman named Caroline Hudson, was passing No. 10, Lisbon-street, Cam bridge road, Bethnal -green, with an infant in her arms, when the upper portion of the front wall coping stories and roof suddenly fell into the street. The falling bricks struck her on the head, inflicting a severe scalp wound. The in fant in her arms escaped uninjured. Her little boy who was with her was much hurt. A police-constable ran to their assistance, and conveyed the mother and children to the accident ward of the London Hospital, where their wounds were dressed. The injured persons were then con veyed home. The inhabitants of the houses ran into the street, fearing that the adjoining houses would fall ; but the police lost no time in sending for Mr. Price, the Govern ment inspector, who promptly attended. Mr. Price went to No. 19, and found the wall in a condition which made him order it to be at once "shored up." He ordered the inmates not to sleep in the houses, Nos. 9 and 10, and said that, if necessary, he would give them an order for admission into the workhouse of St, Matthew, Bethnal-green, but they re fused to make use of it, The landlord, who had only come into possession of the houses a few days ago, set several men to work, and the property was so far secured as to pre vent London, St. K a th er i ne ' s , th e E ast further apprehension of d anger.

The wind was still strong thi s morning, but the gale bth e e x breakageposed p has altogether subsided. At nine o'clock this morning the barometer, which during yesterday had fallen to 29.5, marked 29 deg., or a rise of 5-10th s d ur i ng the night, and later in the day it was still n,ing. The hurricane raged with great fury throughout Chatham and Rochester, and caused considerable damage, Late yesterday evening intelligence was brought that the gale had swept away a portion of New Barn farmhouse, at Cooling, near Roches ter, in the occupation of Mr. Everist, and that eight horses which were in the stables had been buried in the ruins, and five of the number killed, sev era l of the farm servants escaping with their lives. A fine elm tree, believed to be upwards of a century old, was b ro k en short off at the trunk, in the grounds adj oinin g Rome-house, Chatham. In the neighbouring city of Rochester, considerable d amage was d o ne, and a windmill in the Borstall-road, at the out skirts of the city, belonging to Mr. Horenail, was much injured. A portion of the roof of St. Peter's Church was also stripped. In Chatham docky ar d a portion of the gal. vsn i ze d plating covering some of th e b u ild ing sheds was lifted bodily up, but , happily, was not carried away. At New Brompton a heavy brick wall, recently erected, was blown down, and numbers of houses in tb.at district of the unroofed. town were partially NORWICH, Saturday, It blew exceedingly hard in the Eastern counties on Friday and to-day, but as the wind was off the shore, comparatively little damage appears to have been sus tained by the shipping. Inland, however, various injuries were inflicted. At Colchester some damage was occasioned to a now riding school in course of erection at the new cavalry barracks. At Ipswich a shed in the shipbuilding yard of Mr. W. Read was entirely unroofed, the roof being carried over the dwelling-house of a man named Waller at the back of the yard. It fell into the dock. Several large squares of glass were blown out of their frames at the Custom-house. A shed at the old station -yard, Stoke, was entirely unroofed, while the end of a house situated close by, in the occupation of a bricklayer named Whyatt, was blown in. LIVE RPOOL, Saturday. Daring the storm which prevailed at Liverpool on Fri day morning, soon after midnight, her Majesty's ship Ma jestic partially broke from moorings and drifted alongside the Conway, but did very little damage. She was soon secured to her anchors again, MALTON, Saturday. On Thursday, Friday, and to-day the north and east of Yorkshire was visited by a heavy storm of wind, rain, and hail, increasing to a hurricane on Friday night. The heavy rains have caused the rivers Rye and Derwent and ail the moorland streams to rise rapidly, and on Saturday the waters were over the banks and threatened to lay all the low country under water. as the rivers were still rising at night. The farmers have taken the precaution to drive off their cattle. A flood at so early a period of the season will greatly damage the aftermath, of which the fields have had a good crop. i.,EDS, Saturday. Leeds was visited with a severe storm of wind and rain on Friday and to-day, the rivers and all their feeders overflowing their banks in many parts, particularly the Wharfe and the Aire. At a branch of the latter in Leeds, on Friday afternoon, a man driving a one-horse conveyance belonging to Messrs. Carver and Co., the well known car riers, attempted to get across at a ford called Sandy Lobby. but the stream was so strong that the horse and the vehicle were swept away. The horse and a youth who assisted the driver were drowned. The driver had a very narrow escape for his life. CARLISLE, Saturday. The storm broke with great fury over CUmberland on Thursday. Several persons had to put back into port, but there were no disasters in the Solway Frith, except that the Condor from Drogheda ran ashore near Braystone's, near Whitehaven. At Carlisle the rivers aro in high flood, inun dating the low lying holmes in the neighbourhood of the city. CARDIFF, Saturday Night. The gale continued with unabated fury during the whole of last night, accompanied with heavy squalls and unusually violent hail storms. On the whole the ships in the Penarth Roads have borne the storm well , only one casualty having as yet been reported. The vessel Orwell, of Ipswich, had her bowsprit and jibboom carried away by the Prussian bark Claudine, in consequence of having anchored too close to the latter vessel, and she has come into dock for repairs. The Cork Company's steamer arrived safe this morning, having encountered a dreadful storm between Milford and this port which obliged her to put into the former place fot some hours. Altho u g h she had about 300 head of cattle on board, no very serio us loss has taken p lace. The gale con tinues in the same direction—viz., W.S.W. EDINIIITRGII, Saturday. In Edinburgh the gale of Thursday evening has caused considerable destruction of exposed property, but no personal injury. In Leith the damage has been more serious. The gable of a house in Darling's Brae fell on the roof of an ad joining house, and part of it went thr„ugh upo n th e i nma t es , whose escape was effected with great difficulty. A small church, for 400 persons, became a heap of ruins. The roof was completely lifted off and fell on the south well, which it demolished, and the northern gable, being left exposed and unprotected, fell soon afterwards, Several casualties in the Firth of Forth have been reported.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF PICKING POCKETS—VIO LENT ASSAULT ON THREE CONSTABLES.—Joseph Langley, described as a shoemaker, was charged before Mr. Tyr whitt with attempting to pick the pocket of Mrs. Sarah Gainsford, of 63, Wardour-street, also with pickiug the pocket of Mrs. Amelia Schuster, of 6, Great Pulteney-street, while in the shop of Mr. Roleman Hall, tea dealer and grocer, 70, Wardour- street, Soho. The prisoner was fur ther charged with violently assaulting Sergeant Henry Allen, 20 C, Lazarus Howes, 95 C, and Thomas Dennison, 116 C. A female named Mary Ann May was also charged with attempting to rescue Langley, and with assaulting Sergeant Allen, 20 C. Mrs. Sarah Gainsford said—While in Mr. Hall's shop on Saturday night at 10 o'clock, there being a great many per. sons in the shop, the male prisoner came in and stood by the side of me. His hand touched my pocket, and I moved a little away. He then moved against me again, and through a hole in his pocket he had hie hand in my pocket. I said, " What do you want with your hand in my pocket." He made no answer, but followed me out and said " Did you allude to me in the shop," and on my telling him I did, he said " Why, I couldn't rob you, you look as if you wanted money given to you instead of being robbed." I crossed over the way, and was called back, and Mr. Hall asked me whether the prisoner was the man who had attempted to pick my pocket, and I said he was, and gave him in charge. Mrs. Amelia Schuster said—l went into Mr. Hall's shop on Saturday night about 9 o'clock, and the male prisoner stood by my right side. I put my hand in my pocket to take out a sovereign to pay for some purchases I was about to make, when I sound it was gone. I had the sovereign safe in my pocket after I entered the shop, and when I turned round the prisoner had disappeared. Mr. Robert Coleman Hall, tea dealer, &c., 70, Wardour street, said—At 10 o'clock on Saturday night I was told by a lady at the far end of my shop that a lady had had her pocket picked in my shop. Some time after the prisoner passed my shop, and on his being pointed out to me I fol lowed him, and saw him following a lady into the shop of Mr. Taylor, poulterer, in Pulteney-street. I then saw the prisoner insert his hand in a lady's pocket, and on my ask ing the lady if she had lost anything, she slid she had not, The prisoner then said, " You are cunning, but have not got me," and then aimed a blow at me with his fist, but did not touch me, and I then gave him one in return. The prisoner was then taken back to my shop, and given into custody. Lazarus Howes, 95 C, said—On attempting to take the prisoner into custody he struck me a blow on the mouth and nose, smothering me with blood. He also fastened his teeth in my leg, in such a determined manner, that I had to use my staff to make him release his hold. He then got hold of my finger and screwed it completely round, causing me intense pain. On searching him I found 17s. 2; d. in his possession. Thos. Dennison, 166 C—l Was Lit in the forefinger and kicked by the prisoner. Sergeant Allen, 20 C--I was struck in the chest and kicked in the groin by the male prisoner, and the woman said, "Let the man go," and slapped my face. May—l did not assault the sergeant. I merely called the police beasts. Mr. Hall—lt required seven constables to take the prisoner to the station, owing to his violent conduct, ansi the police behaved with great forbearance towards him. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the male prisoner for trial, and fined the woman 10s., or seven days. WESTMINSTER. DARING SHOP ROBBERY. —David Briggs, a young man, well known to the police, was charged before Mr. Selfe with stealing from the shop of Mr. William Clowes, linendraper, 82, To'hill-street, 88 yards of calico. The prosecutor stated that about 8 o'cloctc last night he was informed by a female that a man (the prisoner) had taken a roll of calico from the front of the shop. He went out and followed the prisoner (who ran towards Queen's. square) calling out " Stop thief." The prisoner entered the Park and was there stopped by a Grenadier Guardsman. (The calico was produced). Mr. Selfe—What is the value of the calico ? Witness—About 38s. There are 88 yards. Private John Simpson, of the Grenadier Guards, stated that ho heard the cry of " Stop thief," and seeing the pri sonor running stopped him, He at the same time said, "It i s my duty to take you into custody." He was given into the custody of a policeman, who went with him to the station-house. Mr. Selfe—ls the prisoner known ? Sergeant Cannon, 28 B, said that the prisoner had only recently come out of prison, where he had been for six months, having been charged with picking pockets. He was sent to prison on the 24th April. The prisoner said that the police would not let him get a honest living. Mr. Selfe—Why, you have only come out of prison on the 24th. The prisoner was committed for trial, THAME'S. Mr. Woolrych, whose vacation has just terminated, took his seat on the bench this morning at ten o'clock precisely, after an absence of six weeks, and immediately proceeded to the despatch of business. The applications for advice and assistance, for summonses and warrants, were very numer ous, and these having been disposed of by the magistrate, he proceeded to hear the night charges. There were 26 cases from the station-house of the It division, and 9 from the H division. There are 2 remanded cases and 5 sum monses to be heard in addition to the business which may turn up before the magistrate leaves his seat. This is a tolerably good day's work in a police-court for one day. The practice of commencing business at 10 o'clock in the morning is an immense advantage to the public, and par ticularly to the police who have been on duty all night. John and Dennis Driscoll, brothers, were charged with committing a violent assault on a shoemaker, n ame d Lacy and his wile, in Spread Bagle-street, Limehouse, on Satur day night. The Lacys, who aro industrious people, had occasion to give evidence against some connections of the Discrolls a tow weeks ago, and since they have been fiercely persecuted. On Saturday they were savagely assaulted by the pri • Boners, John taking a leading part in the outrage. Dennis Driscoll gave the name of Thomas Donovan. He was recognised as a ticket-of-leave man, and Inspector Beare, of the K division, said the prisoner was tried as Dennis Driscoll, at the Clerkenwell Sessions, in January, 1861, con victed of felony and sentenced to three years' penal servi tude. The prisoner was liberated on a ticket-of -leave in July of the present year. Police constable, 330 K, said he was present when Dennis Driscoll was tried, and identified him, Mr. Woolrych sentenced John Driscoll to two months' imprisonment and hard labour, Dennis Driscoll for a week, when it is probable he will be sent back to the Milbank Penitentiary (which he left in July) to complete his sentence.

STATUE OF NAPOLEON I, A letter from Paris say::-- " In a day or two the Emperor Napoleon will dis appear from the eminence on which he has long stood with a firm footing which nothing has till now disturbed. I allude to no living potentate, but to the statue of Napoleon 1., which is about to come down from the pillar on the Place Vendome. The scaffolding, which is now completed, res t s on t h e g allery on which visitors stand who wish to have a view of Paris and ils environs. The total elevation of the pillar is 135 ft. The statue itself, which is lift. or 12ft. high, is now almost entirely c oncea l e d f rom v iew by the hoarding which surrounds it. For some days all that one could catch a glimpse of was the face and cocked hat. Persons passing the Rue de la Pais or the Rue Casti g leone, attracted by th e ope rations, stand and look on, apparently amazed at the unceremonious manner of the workmen, e ither astride on the shoulders or fastenin g p es rou nd the legs of the statue, while every precaution is taken against the Emperor falling suddenly fro m his pedestal to the ground. As I have already mentioned, the idea of re moving the statue which represents Napoleon in m ilitary costume, and in its place putting one w hi c h wo uld recall, not the great captain, but the fou n d er of a dynasty, is not a ne w on©, a . present Sovereign immediately v tely e a It occurred to the !ter the coup d'etat. The column of tiae Place every body knows, mad e of the Russian and Austrian cannon taken at thesaftbattle of Austerlit z , an d t h e h bas-reliefs of the ~ spirally ascending to the capital, display in chronological order the principai actions of the army from r, its departure from Bou logne to that battle. onth he costume which the com mander wore ose occasions was, one would suppose, most appropriate t. for a monument which, unlike those of the triumphal arch at the top of the Cha mps Elysees, allegorical . figures; and both the taste ' and ih th y e e p e o e licy of:ubstitut:l f ig the a Roman Emperor may be doubted. h e . mass h French people have ever associated him with t o little cocked hat and the gray redingote. It is in this costume by which he is known to them. For one print or statuette you see of Napoleon in his robes, with the sceptre iu one hand and the globe in the other, you see a thousand in the simple mili tary dress. On foot or on horseback, in bronze or in marble, or in humble plaster,—wherever he is represented, in the salon, in the wineshop, or in the clurumiere, it is the same. I doubt whether th e French peasantry or the French trooper would re cogniso him in any other form. They know hi m and remember him more by his military deeds than by anything else. They are more familiar with the great soldier who won Lodi, Arcola, Maren go , Austerlitz. and Ulm, then with the Pm fonntl er o f a dynasty."' SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 4 o'CLocK.

Craw ley continue to b e act i ve l y made at Aldershot. No official notification has yet been issued fixing the opening day of the trial; but, as several officers of the Enniskillens have leave of absence until the 10th inst., it is not probable that the court-martial will commence its proceedings until after that data. The following is a complete list of the nfficers whe have already arrived in the camp for examination on the trial :—Capt. Curtis, Lieut. Snell, Dr. Turnbull, Quar termaster Charle s Wooden, .V.C., C a pt. R ens h aw, Lients. Davies, and Wallace, Capt. Weir, Cornet Davis. The non commissioned officers and m en consist of 20 sergeants, 16 corporals, 87 privates, which, with the above -named officer; makes a total of 132 witnesses. The third annual report of the committee of the Alder shot Hospital for the wives and children of soldiers has just been issued. The hospital was established in Septem ber, 1861, and since that date has afforded relief to some thousands of persons who otherwise must have suffered severely from the want of medical attendance. The period embraced by the report is from October 1, 1862, to Sept. 30, 1863, and is decidedly more favourable and encouraging than that of the previous year. During the past 12 months 809 cases have been treated in the hospital —namely, con finements, 331; sick women, 232 ; sick children, 246. Out of that number there have been only 23 deaths —women 7, and children 16. In the previous year there were 669 cases treated—viz., confinements, 330; sick women, 168; sick children, 171 ; and out of this number 29 deaths occurred. The report, therefore, shows an increase of 140 patients during the year, and a decrease of 6 deaths in the total cases treated. The subscriptions and donations amounted to £325 15s. The balance in hand this year, however, is only £ll5 8s 6d against Ll5O Os ld in the previous year, an increase of expenditure having arisen on the pur chase of clothing for th e use o f patients in the hospital. The report, which is signed and " ap. proved" by Lieutenant-General Sir J. L. Pennefather, K.C.8., contains the expression of the committee's thanks to Mr. D. P. Barry, secretary and medical attendant, and to Major Smith, treasurer, to whose persevering exer tions the very satisfactory state of the hospital is, in a great measure, to be attributed. The Secretary of the Aldershot Junction Railway Com pany received a communication on Friday from the War office, intimating that his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge will be prepared to support the construction of the new hne of railroad proposed by the above company. Staff-Surg. T. B. Reid, of the 92d Regiment, has been appointed to succeed Staff• Surg. Bone in the medical charge of the 10th Depot Battalion at the camp at Colchester. At a general court-martial assembled at the camp on the 31st August, Private G. Wilmot, of the 70th Regiment, was arraigned on a charge of insubordination, in having on the is c of August when a prisoner under trial before a garrison court-martial for disgraceful conduct, assaulted his superior officer, Capt. Reid, Adjutant of the 4th Depot Battalion, by throwing a stone at him and hitting him on the right shoulder, at the same time making use of an improper ex pression. The prisoner was found guilty, and being an incorrigibly bad character, he was sentenced to penal servi tude for 10 years. The sentence has been confirmed by her Majesty. Lieut. R. IV. Stone will sail for New Zealand on the 4th, in place of Capt. Fletcher, 4th battalion Military Train, to whose troop he succeeds on the retirement of that officer from the service.

The Silver Eagle sailed from Shanghai on the 27th of June; 15 of the invalids who died during the passage were buried at sea. They consisted of eight men and ono woman belonging to the 67th Regiment, one man of the Royal Engineers, and five of the 67th Regiment. After landing the troops at Woolwich, the Silver Eagle proceeded up the river to the docks to discharge her cargo. A War Department order has been received by the autho rities of the Royal carriage department in Woolwich Arsenal to hasten the completion of the new 300-pounder gun. car riages under construction, as follows:—One for Capt, Coles's turret, now being erected on board the iron-cased cupola ship Royal Sovereign, two for the gunnery ship Excellent, and one for experimental purposes on shore. They aro to be fitted on Lieut. Roche's system for working the guns, and after a pattern of gun carriage, proved some time ago on board the 14-gun sloop Hazard at Portsmouth.
