The detachment of the 68th Foot did not arrive at Portsmouth from Belfast on Thursday evening until nearly 10 o'clock, when they marched to the dockyard, and embarked in the Orinoco steamship for the East. The Orinoco left Spithead last evening for Constanti nople. We are informed she takes out a million of ball cartridges. The augmentation of 1 sergeant, 1 corporal, and 8 gunners to each company of the Royal Regiment of Artillery has now appeared in general orders, and will promote 8 corporals in each of the 13 battalions to be sergeants, 16 bombardier to be corporals, 16 acting bom bardiers to be full bombardiers, and 16 gunners from the ranks to be acting bombardiers in each battalion.

They were inspected before leav ing Dorchester on Monday by the Jolonel, Lord George Paget, who will join the regiment at Plymouth and proceed in command to Tarkey. Two or three squad rons, remaining at Exeter, will be sent on to Plymouth by railway in a day or two. DUBLIN, FRIDAY. On Tuesday evening the drafts ordered to proceed to Turkey to join the 62d and 65th Regiments, sailed from Belfast for Liverpool, en route to the East. The head-quarters division of the 63d Regiment, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel E. S. T. Svsyny, arrived at Cork, on Tuesday, from Dublin, by special train, and joined the division that had already arrived in barracks. The depot companies, under command of Major the Hon. Robert A. G. Dalzoll, arrived on Wed nesday. This corps expect to embark very shortly for the seat of war. They have an admirable band, and new colours recently presented to them in Dublin, by Mrs. Swyny, wife of the gallant colonel. The entire strength of the regiment (1,400) is now concentrated in Cork. THE ROYAL DOCKYARD BRIGADES. Now that all the regular military forces are withdrawn or being withdrawn from our naval port garrisons, the Government are looking round to see what other de fenders they have, and on Thursday morning each Royal Dockyard authority was called upon to supply with the utmost expedition a return of the effective strength of the enrolled dockyard battalions. Much urgency was expressed in the Admiralty letter, from which it may fairly be augured that their lordships have it in contem plation to employ these highly respectable artisan soldiers in watching and protecting their own spheres of labour —the Royal Dockyards of the kingdom, during the ab sence of the soldiers of the line in aiding the Turks. The return furnished, showed the following as the effective strength of these brigades : Portsmouth, with Royal) 1600 non-commission officers Clarence Battalion and men.

According to the statistics of vessels entered inward, the port of London shows an increase of 75, with 31,916 tonnage, the difference between 365 vessels and 205,186 tonnage in 1853 and 440 vessels and 237,102 tonnage in 1854. Liverpool exhibits an increase of 3 vessels with 161 tonnage, the arrivals in the former period having been 129 vessels with 77,319 tonnage, against in the latter 132 vessels with 77,480 tonnage. In the case of Bristol there is an increase of 4 vessels with 3,157 ton nage, the difference between 23 vessels with7,B26 ton nage and 27 vessels with 10,983 tonnage. The return for the Clyde gives an increase of 7 vessels with 3,644 tonnage, the arrivals in 1853 having been 31 vessels with 11,277 tonnage, and in 1854 38 vessels with 14,921 ton nage. The total increase presented is 89 vessels with 38,878 tonnage, the difference between 548 vessels with 301,608 tonnage, and 637 vessels with 340,486 tonnage; while the principal arrivals have been .from Mauritius, Madras, New South Wales, Calcutta, Ceylon, China, Java, and Sumatra. The statistics of vessels cleared outward present un favourable results, owing to the diminished activity of the trade to Australia as compared with the correspond. ing period of last year. In the case of the port of Lon don a decrease is exhibited of 93 vessels with 19,657 tonnage, the difference between 472 vessels with 218,864 tonnage in 1853 and 379 vessels with 199,207 tonnage in 1854. The return for Liverpool shows a decrease of 68 vessels with 123 tonnage, the departures in the former period having been 262 vessels with 134,895 tonnage, and in the latter 194 vessels with 134,772. The decrease in the case of Bristol is 6 vessels with 1,286 tonnage, the difference between 16 vessels with 4,666 tonnage in 1853 and 10 vessels with 3,380 tonnage in 1854. The Clyde figures for a decrease of 22 vessels with 749 tonnage, the departures in the former period having been 81 vessels with 29,566 tonnage, and in the latter period 59 vessels with 28,817 tonnage. It will be noticed in these instances, that, although the number of vessels has decreased, the aggregate tonnage, except in the case of the port of London, has nut proportionably diminished —a circumstance showing that a larger class of ships is now generally employed. The net decrease is 189 ves sels with 25,815 tonnage, the difference between 831 vessels with 387,991 tormaee in 1853 and 642 vessels with 366,176 tonnage in 1854. The departures for Aus tralia, Cape of Good. Hope, China, Singapore, Calcutta, and Bombay exhibit the principal falling of. INCRRABE OF HYDROPHOBIA.-Yesterday Mr. Bed ford, coroner for Westminster, held an inquest at the King's Head, James-street, Buckingham Palace, on William Willet, aged 8 years, whose death was caused by hydrophobia, produced by the bite of a dog in the public streets. It appeared from the evidence of de ceased's mother, and a little girl who witnessed the ca tastrophe, that as the deceased was playing in York street, a dog which was passing bit him in the leg, and then crossed the street and bit another child. The dog, in stead of being killed on the spot, was hunted by some boys out of the neighbourhood, and had not been since seen or heard of. Both children were taken to Westminster Hospital, from whence, afterthe wound had been properly dressed, deceased was sent home, no hydrophobic symp toms having set in. Aft e r th e d ecease d h a d b een an out-patient of the hospital some weeks, the wound com pletely healed. The bite occurred on the 28th of April, but nothing serious showed itself in the deceased until last Friday, when he complained of pains up the leg, and in the course of a few hours lost the whole use of the limb. His mother thereupon called in parochial medical aid, hut deceased continued to get woreP, Ponfirmed symptoms of hydrophobia set in, and, atter enduring the most excruciating sgonv, death terminated his sufferings on Tuesday. The coroner said that he had never had a eas. of hydrophobia until within the last month, and, unless some regulations were laid down, he feared there wi t ;lit be an increase of such calaniities. '('lie j ,rv, in 'wording a 1 erdiet of " Death from hydrophobia," added that they hoped some steps would be taken by the Police Commissioners to have all dogs found about the streets without proper muzzles destroyed.

The bon e s were carefully taken ere of, and after being put into a coffi n , were deposited iana churchyard. The remains are supposed to belong to some martyrs who forfeited their lives at the stake dur ing the progress of the Reformation. HATCHING GROUSE.-On Saturday last we were shown in the aviary of Mr. Bowstead, Duke-street, the novel sight of a brood of young grouse. The birds, four in num ber, appeared strong and healthy, and were perfectly tame. In another apartment a female was sitting on about a dozen eggs. The nest is made of blocks of peat moss; and the bird did not appear to be the least alarmed at the approach of strangers. The old birds were also quite tame, and picked up the crumbs thrown to them 'by the visitors.-Glasgow Herald. THE SUN, _LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 15, 1854. THE POST-OFFICE PACKET SERVICE. THE LONDON GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT. from half-pay Rifle Brigade, to be Captain, vice Graham, appointed to the 41st Foot; Lieutenant Edmund Galland Horne to be Adjutant, vice Williamson, promoted ; Wm. Hemphill, M.D., to be Assistant-Surgeon, vice Smith, appointed to the 2d Dragoon Guards, July 14. 63d Foot—Assistant-Surgeon William Henry Flower, from the Depot Battalion at Templemore, to be Assistant- Surgeon, July 14. The following table, partly compiled from a Parlia mentary paper, shows the estimate for the Post-office packet service for the current year, ending the sth of April, 1855, as compared with that for the preceding twelve months. The decrease last year was 34,946/., and there is now a further diminution of 22,3861., caused by the abandonment of the extension line to Mauritius and Calcutta by the General Screw Company, and a re duction of the expense of the Government packet esta blishments. The cessation of the contract with the General Steam Company for the Dutch mails removes a sum of 11,6201. from the list, but the creation of lines from Dover to Calais and Ostend causes an addition of 15,5001., while the new arrangements on the Indian route involve upon balance an additional outlay in that branch of 26,9641.: ST.

CITIFAT IVESTFRIg ; STIRFIVSBURY, AND BIRMINGHAM, AND EiRF.WSRUR AND CilcsTEß RAII,NVATS AltAld: A - 'NON. The committee re-assembled this day to proceed with the clauses of the bill. Pre,:en - c, the liukc;of Wellington (in the chair), the Earl of Morton, Lard Walsingham, Lord Cottenham, and Lord Stafford. Mr. Scott Hope (on the part of the London and North Western Railway Company) proposed a series of clauses, having for their effect to bind the Great 'Western Com pany to a stipulation that they should work the Shrews bury and Birmingham and Shrewsbury and Chester Railways on the narrow gauge—that they should work all the lines between Wolverhampton and Basingstoke also on the narrow gauge—and that there shall be no application to parliament for permission to lay down the broad gauge, without the consent of the Board of Trade being first obtained. These clan-es led to a most determined opposition on the part of the Groat Western Company, and the room was ordered to be cleared, and upon the parties being re-admitted, The Duke of Wellington said the committee had deter mined in favour of the clauses, and they were embodied in the bill. A clause was proposed on the part of the Oxford and Worcester Railway Company, giving the latter company an equal number of directors with the Great Western Company, which the committee also added to the bill. The further proceedings were adjourned to Monday next. Their lordships rose at four o'clock. NORTH METROPOLITAN TUNNEL RAILWAY. The committee upon this bill met in room E. The committee consisted of the Earl of Desart (in the chair), Viscount Midleton, the Earl of Roden, Lord Manners, and Lord Calthorpe. Mr. Carpenter Rowe opposed the bill on the part of the North London Railway, both on the ground of its merits and as affecting their interests. Mr. Burke, havinc , replied, th e c omm itt ee d ec id e d that the opponents had e ' no locus standi, and declared the preamble of the bill proved. WESTMINSTER TERMINUS RAILWAY. After some discussion, the committee deolared the preamble of this bill proved. WEST LONDON RAILWAY. Considerable opposition was offered to this bill, but the committee declared the preamble proved. Some clauses were then passed, and their lordships adjourned until Monday next. A GENEROUS VOLUNTEER.—The son of a farmer, named Dagomet, of Fontaine-sous-J on y (E ure ), i n th e drawing for the conscription, drew a numb er w hich re quired him to serve in the army. This threw all his family into profound affliction, as they had not the means of paying for a substitute. So great was the sorrow of the young man himself, and of his mother in particular, that they fell ill. About a fortnight ago was fixed for the departure of the young man, even though he had not recovered his strength. Just before he set out, a young man named Darcy went to the house, and offered himself as a substitute. " What sum do you ask ?" was the question of the father. "Let there be no talk of money," said the young man. "It is a service I want to render you ; and at the same time I serve my country." "But how can we ever recompense so much devotedness and abnegation ?" " I am alone in the world," replied the generous fellow, "and you shall be my family !" He then went to the military authorities, offered himself as a substitute for Dagomet, was accepted, and was sent to Blois to join the 27th regiment. CHOLERA IN LIVERPOOL.—Five deaths from cholera occurred in Liverpool in the week ending Saturday last. COUNTRY MARKETS. LIVERPOOL-Jura- 14.
