JOSEPH TRLEY the Inventor, Steam Mills and Factory, Thornhi H ll-briage O ~ King's-cross, London. City Depot, 145, Fleet. Naval and Military Intelligence, The headquarters and seven companies of the 2d battalion Scots Fusilier Guards sailed from Quebec for Portsmouth on the 17th ult., on board her Majesty's steamship Urgent. The Urgent was to touch at St John's, Newfoundland, for coal, aad may be expected to arrive tt:, Portsmouth about the 6th inst. A most interesting course of field exercises took place on Thursday at Woolwich, in command of Major-Gen. Warde C. 8., commandant. The defensive party consisted of the battalion of the sth Fusiliers, three batteries of Royal Artillery, and one 40• pounder battery, in command of Col. Master, -C.B. The attacking force assembled on Bostol-hiil, at the back of Plumstead •common. The advanced guard threw out a line of skirmishers over the brow of a deep ravine on the common, having videttea in advance. The attacking force consisted of the Royal Marines, two bat teries of Horse Artillery, and one battery of the Depot Brigade, commanded by Col. Master, whose first move ment was to throw out skirmishers and a reconnoitring party. The attacking party was speedily driven back. The main force, in the meantime having been kept up on Bostol hill, attacked the right flank of the attacking party and threw them back. The whole of the guns were then brought forward, and kept up a steady and well-directed cannonade. The infantry, advancing through the intervals of the guns, maintained a roaring fire, and eventually the position of the defensive party was stormed. The infantry then marched down the, high road to Woolwich Common, and formed a line of contiguous columns, the infantry and Artillery after wards passing the General in review order, the former in grand divisions. Afterwards the Brigadiers were called forward by the General, who expressed himself in terms of the highest commendation. The 85th Light Infantry, under the command of Col. J. W. Grey, arrived at Aldershot on Thursday morning from the camp at Shorncliffo. The regiment, in wings, left Folkestone at 8 o'clock a.m. in two special trains, arriving at the North Camp station at 12 30 precisely. Col. Hopkins, C. 8., A.D.C., the newly appointed com mandant of the Woolwich division of Ro3 al Marines, hav- ing inspected the barrack departments yesterday, com manded the field officers' drills on Woolwich-common, and put the battalion through a course of exercises, it being his first outdoor inspection since his arrival. The iron screw steam troop ship Himalaya, 6, Capt. E. Lacey, which left Portsmouth at 5 p.m. on Wednesday evening, arrived in Plymouth Sound at 6.30 a.m. on Thurs day morning. At 10 o'clock she went alongside the Master- Attendant's jetty in Devonport dockyard, where she disem. barked the Gth Regiment, from Aldershot, She then em • barked the baggage of the 31st Regiment, who were ap pointed to leave the Raglan Barracks at noon yesterday for conveyance to Portsmouth, en route for Aldershot. The screw steam corvette Wolverine, 21, Capt. De Horsey, which arrived at Plymouth on Wednesday morning, will probably leave to. day for her destination, the West Indies. The engines and machinery of the screw steam gun vessel Espoir, 5, were tried outside the breakwater at Plymouth on Thursday. She is now in the basin at Devonport,where she will be completed for the first division of the Steam Reserve. The screw steam troopship Orontes, 2, Capt. W. Henry Hire, from the eastward, arrived in Plymouth Sound on Wednesday evening, en rotate for Ceylon, conveying a mail to St Helena, and calling at the Cape of Good Hope. She takes a battery of artillery and naval supernumeraries. The naval transport Dove arrived at Chatham dockyard yesterday, from Shoeburyness, with the wreck of the target constructed by the dockyard mechanics some time since on the principle suggested by Mr Scott Russell. The target is of iron, and the fragments which are now on board the trans port weigh rather more than 50 tons. Another target is now under construction at Shoeburyness by the dockyard me chanics, and Rill be completed in about 10 days or a fort night, in readiness for testing her under the direction of the Ordnance Select Committee. This target, which is known as the box target, is constructed on an entirely new princi ple which, it is contended, offers greater resistance to both shot and shell than any hitherto experimented upon at Shoeburyness. The ironclad frigate Achilles, 20, 1,250 horse power, Capt E. W. Vansittart, is now ordered to be ready to take her departure from Chatham harbour on the 14th inst., and to proceed to Portsmouth, where she will receive her final orders as to her ultimate movements. In anticipation of her de parture by the period stated, all is bustle and activity on board, the dockyard officials exerting themselves to the utmost to have the frigate completed before she leaves the Medway, In accordance with Admiralty orders, she has commenced to take on board her stock of coals, but the supply at present at Chatham and Sheerness is altogether insufficient. On Thursday she had stripped 300 tons, which exhausted the entire supply from the coal ships in the river. About 150 tons were despatched on board from the dockyard yesterday, but about double that quantity will still be required to complete the necessary quantity. The Achilles is now completely rigged, and most of the work being completed on board, with tho exception of the nume rous fitments still required to be executed, the frigate pre sents an imposing appearance. Yesterday about 100 seamen arrived and joined the Achilles from the Formidable, 84, flagship of . Vice-Admiral Sir C. Talbot, Comman der in Chief at the N ore. The Cadmus, 21, 400 horse power, having completed a very extensive repair at Chatham dockyard, extending over several months, will be undocked on Monday, and will take her place in the first class steam reserve, for which she is fully equipped. The operation of fixing the stern, or projecting prow of the ironclad frigate Bellerophon, building at Chatham, was completed yesterday, under the superintendence of the dock yard officials. The stem, which is formed of three separate pieces, was forged in the dockyard, and is the largest work of the kind ever attempted at either of the public yards. On leaving the smiths' hands it weighed nearly 30 tons, but the cutting, planing, and other processes to which it was subse quently subjected reduced its weight about one half. The prow projects about 10ft from the stem of the frigate, and will thus enable the Bellerophon to do terrible execution against a hostile ship when used as a ram, for which her enormous strength and high rate of velocity will eminently qualify her. The outer and inner stern-p os t s are b eing forged at one of the private dockyards, and will arrive at Chatham in the course of a few weeks. The Bellerophon will be fitted with four masts, and according to existing ar rangements, three of these will be square-rigged, and the other fore and aft rigged. A number of joiners, labourers, and some other workmen employed at Chatham dockyard will receive their discharge from that establishment to-day, in consequence of an order from the Admiralty for a reduction to be made in the num ber of the hands. Her Majesty's screw steam gunvessel Serpent, 4,695 tons, 200 horse power, Master in Charge Benjamin Jackson, was taken for trial of her engines at the measured mile off Maplin Sands yesterday, in charge of Commander Arthur Barrow, of her Majesty's ship Cumberland, guardshiP of Sheerness steam reserve. Messrs Wm. Rumball, inspector of machi • nery afloat, and George Blaxland, chief engineer of Sheer ness dockyard, were in charge of the machinery. The vessel made six runs at full speed on the measured miles with the following results : Average speed, 9.724 knots per hour —revolutions of engines, maximum, 77 mean, 761 pressure of steam, 20--vacuum, 24. Two runs were made at half-beiler power, with an average speed of 8.555 knots per hour—the revelations of engines being, maximum 68—mean, 67—vacuum, 341—pressure of steam, 161 b. The vessel was tested on the circle at full and half speed ; at full speed, with helm 291 degrees to starboard, the time of turning the circle was 4 minutes 47 seconds—the diiath meter of the circle being 477 yards. At half speed, w helm to starboard 29 degrees, the time was 5 minutes 12 seconds—the diamete r of the circle being 449 yards. The vessel is fitted with Griffith's propeller, diameter 11 feet, pitch 17 feet, variable from 14 to 20 feet, and the draught cif water during the trial, which lasted six hours, was, forward and aft, 24 feet. The Serpent is fully equipped with all her sea stores and armament on board, and is ready for sea. The trial was considered satisfactory, and it is ex pected she will be shortly commissioned. Commodore Hugh Dunlop, C,8,, Superintendent of Woolwich dockyard, yesterday returned from leave of ab sence, and will hoist hie flag this morning and resume his duties, Her Majesty's paddle-sloop Basilisk was yesterday hauled out of basin at Woolwich, and was towed down to Sheerness n charge of the Bustler and Monkey, to bo completed for sea. The iron steam-storeship Industry was yesterday un docked at Weolwioh, and the paddle-sloop Spiteful was docked in her place. The following naval cadets of the Ist and 2d class having completed their course of instruction on board her Ma jesty's naval cadet training-ship Britannia, Capt. R. A. Powell, C. 8., at Dal tmouth, were found qualified at their examinations on Wednesday last for seagoing ships, and received their certificates.

Several attempts were made to raise her, but without success, and ultimately the wreck was sold by auction. Mr J. Roberts, of Hakin, Milford; who is a scientific diver, then undertook to raise the vessel, and by dint of great perseverance and skill, the sling chains having broken no less than 12 times, he succeeded in his arduous and dangerous task. The vessel was found in good condition except that there were two or three holes in her and the mast and bowsprit were gone. It is intended to repair her Icor sea again, BED .ROOM CANDLES.

A Naval Court Martial assembled on Thursday on board Her Majesty's ship Victory at Portsmouth, under the Presidency of Captain Sherard Osborn, C. 8., for the trial of Mr. James Campbell, assistant-engineer of the Ist class and supernumerary of her Majesty's ship Asia, on a charge of drinking to such excess as to cause illness by which he was incapacitated for duty. The Court found the charge proved, and sentenced the prisoner to be dismissed from Her Majesty's service, but on account of his previous good character and services, z ecommended his case to the favour able consideration of the Lords Commissioners of the Ad miralty. _ . In the Royal Naval reserve George Henry Dowell has been appointed Sub-Lieut. The Great Polish Trial at Berlin. On the 19th ult., M. W. Kiernatowski, landowner, and late a lieutenant in the Prussian Engineers, was brought up for examination. Ho showed by quotations from the works of the historian Moch nacki that the terms "frontier of 1772," "all' Poland," " Crown Poland," &c., only meant those Polish territories which are under the rule of Russia. The insurrection of 1846 took under entirely dif ferent circumstances from that of last year, and a revival of the attempts of Mieroslawaki would then have met with the strongest opposition from the people of Posen. The sacrifices made by the Poles in Prussia for the insurrection were perfectly natural, proceeding as they did from a feeling of pure patriotism,. The Poles did not hope that the Emperor Napoleon would assist them against Prussia. They had no designs in that direction. He (M. Kiernatowaki) did not act in behalf of the insurgents except , by collecting money-offerings for the fag:lilies of the dead and wounded. Two letters written by the accused were then read, M. Kiernatowaki explaining that they were private letters addressed by him to a friend. M. Stahlberg, landrath of Ostrow, deposed that the accused had been arrested because his name ap peared in the Dzialynski memoranda. A revision afterwards took place in his house, but nothing was found to compromise him. M. Kiernatowaki was a sensible, honest, and quiet gentleman, who was universally respected. M. Lisiecki then proposed the liberation of the accused, but the court rejected the proposal. The Rev, B. Antoniewicz, accused of having collected money for arming insurgents, was then next examined. He admitted he had collected money but not with that object, only on behalf of persons who had became destitute during the insurrection. The Court reserved its decision on a proposal of M. Janecki for the liberation of the prisoner. H. W. Denel was the next on the charge-sheet. He admitted ho had acted as military commissioner for the purpose of sending insurgents across the frontier, and that he had sent reports of the pro ceedings to Count Dzialynski and others. M. Elven submitted that the prisoner should be liberated. The Court rejected the motion, as also another for the liberation of M. S. Szczaniecki, but allowed the liberation of M. L. Szczaniecki, brother of the latter. On the 20th, several gentlemen who had taken part in the Slawoszewo expedition under Taczan owski, on the 15th April, 1863, were brought up for examination. The first of these was M. W. Rostkowski, who had been in the insurrections of 1830 and 1846. He denied that he had taken part in the expedition. He jOined as a volunteer, hut, finding success was hopeless, he returned to Posen, where he was arrested. 1 - 1 , 3 had no idea of attacking Prussia. Eimilar evidence was given by Messrs. W. BioeiEz , 3vrski and W. Karsuieki; the latter, however, admitting that hs had acted for an hour and a half as chief of a detachment. Messrs Lisiecki and Brachvogel then moved that the accused bo liberated. The Court consented, and also decreed the liberation of the Abbe An- toinewiz. Another batch of prisoners connected with the Pyzdra expedition, under Taezanoweki, were then examined. M. S. ZAkrzewski admitted he had fought at Pyzdra, Kolo, and Ignacewo. He had volunteered to join his brethren who were fighting in Poland. He had 20 men under him, and when the Prussians crossed the frontier after the battle of Pyzdra, raczanowski ordered his officers to assemble, and informed them that the National Government had strictly enjoined him to avoid collision with the Prussians. He never heard of a Dzialynski Com• mittee. M. A. Jarzenbowski also admitted that he had fought against the Russians at Pyzdra, Kolo, and Ignacewo, but denied that he had ever acted as courier. Messrs. Chodacki and Walter said they had gone to the frontier with the object of joining the insur gents against the Russians, but with no hostile in. tention against Prussia. Messrs. Chelkowski and Milkowski denied their having joined the insur rection. • Messrs. Lent, Lewald, and Holthoff hore pro• posed the liberation of the prisoners. The Court allowed the liberation of Messrs. Chelkowski and Milkowski, but reserved its de cision with regard to the others. On the 21st, Count Stanislaus Czarnecki, accused of having acted as military commissioner, was examined. Ha denied the charge, which was founded on a memorandum of Count Dzialynski's. He also denied that certain reports were in his handwriting. He had not belonged to the Slawos. zewo expedition, but was arrested while on a visit in the reighbourhood. He had intended to join the insurrection, as it was notorious that the strug gle was against Russia alone—no one thought of any attempt against Prussia. M. Lent proposed that the accused be liberated. The Court reserved its decision. M. S. Blociszewski was next examined. He des nied having received any appointment from the National Government or from Count Dzialynski, whom he had never seen in his life. The further examination of this prisoner was postponed until the arrival of a witness in his case, named Hoffman. M. H. Szczawinski, the next prisoner examined, said he had not held any office under the National Government, The statements of the prosecution that he had purchased revolvers for 200 thalers, and sent his son to the insurrection, were false. M. Elven moved that the prisoner be liberated for the present, which was agreed to by the Court. The case of T, Brannek, accused of having acted as military commissioner, was then brought on, but was postponed pending the arrival of witnesses. M. S. Radonski, who denied several charges brought against him, on the strength of his name appearing in the Dzialynski memoranda, was libe rated by the Court, after which the Able Jaro chowski was examined. He said he was heart and soul a Pole, but he had no antipathy to Germans, and that his duty to his parishioners alone had pre vented his joining the insurrection. The proceedings on the 22d began with the exa mination of M. F. Radonski. He denied that he had belonged either to the White or the Red party, that he knew Count Dzialynski, that he had been named a civil oommissioner, or that he had collected tales for the National Government, and expressed surprise at the prosecution having made such charges against him without the slightest founda- tion. M. Wierzbinski, accused of having acted as mill. tary commissioner, was next called. lie denied the charge, but acknowledged that he had given some bushels of oats to M. Mielencki for the insurgents. M. Mielencki then deposed that he had acted as military commissioner, and that he had written the documents put in by the prosecution. He pointed out that these documents show that he had never contemplated or taken any steps hostile to the 1/.

SIR,—On the 29th day of July Mr. E. S. Ellis, of Liecester, accompanied by three Foresters, viz., Mr. W. U. Heygate, M,P., Mr. ally rirople, secre tary of the Forester's fete, and a gentleman whose name I do not know, a surgeon at Leicester, met Mr. Colwell and myself at the Great Northern 1.1)tel, London. At this meeting it was stated by Mr. D that the Foresters would subscribe if legal proceed ings were withdrawn ; if not, they would subscribe to defend the action, and that a very small sum from each would raise a large sum. After some little time, Mr. Heygate left, pledge ing himself to me to assist in raising a sufficient sum to prevent loss to Mr. Colwell. Then Mr. Ellis and myself retired to ano ther room, and he said that on the way to London he was told the only difficulty in raising the money among the Foresters was the step of taking legal prgne,ediawktagainst them, --and-thatilm-itttliVlMPl*WfaidPitittnint. railway carriage, and just .eepeated in my presence, he thought that immediate steps would be taken by Foresters, ar d the money would be raised in a short time. He then entered into the following agreement with me : " Upon the understanding which is now entered into, that Mr Colwell does not toiso legal proceedings against the Foresters for the damage to his balloon or apparatus, I agree to and guarantee that Mr Colwell shall receive a sum of £5OO to aid him in replacing the balloon and appa ratus, the £5OO to be paid within two months of this date, this sum to be entirely independent of any money collected by Mr Glaisher's committee." Mr Ellis wished me not to mention this agree ment to any one, and only permitted me to speak in strict confidence to Mr Colwell and Mr Carttar, his legal adviser, about it, with the expectation that the money would be raised, and that no one else should know of the agreement but ourselves. On our return to the room I learned that a pro• mise had been exacted from Mr Coxwell to write to the London papers to the effect 'that legal pro ceedings would not be taken against the Foresters, the natural effect of which, when written, was to check subscriptions to my committee. We parted with the understanding that energetic steps would be taken to redeem the pledges thus given to us. On Sept. 24 the Mayor of Leicester forwarded to me a draft of £BO, the amount of the Leicester snbscription, telling me that it was totally inde• pendent of the Foresters, in additicn to same sums forwarded to me before the Leicester subscription commenced, viz., £lO 108. from Mr Ellis, £lO from the directors of the gasworks, and £lO 10s, from Messrs Robinson On the 29th inst. Mr Ellis, with the Mayor of Derby (Mr George Baines), met Mr Caswell and myself at the Great Eastern Railway, and Mr Ellis paid Mr Coxwell a sum exceeding £386 out of his own pocket, being the difference between the amount of the Leicester subscriptions and £5OO, in redemption of his promise. May I ask, is it possible that• 70,000 inhabitants of Leicester will allow this noble citizen, jealous of the honour of their city, to be at any:loss to himself in keeping that honour untarnished ? With respect to the Foresters of Leicestershire, I will at present only say that their want of self respect in the past two months has deepened the stain on them ; and if they do not take steps to redeem their pledges, given by their secretary and ether; by collecting a sum of money at once and hand'ng it over to their protector, so that he is not at all injured by his generous acts, the stain on the order will indeed be black and irremovable, particu• larly as the rectipts of this fete exceeded the ex, penditure.—l am, sir, yours, &c., JAMES GLAISIIER, Chairman London Committee. Blackheath, Sept. 30. The Capture of Nankin. FOREIGN OFFICE, SEPT. 30. The despatch dated July 29, 1864, of which the following is an extract, has been received by Earl Russell, her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, from Mr Adkins, acting British Consul at Dl►inkiang : I have the honour to inform pm that the city of Nankin, so long the centre of disaffection in China and the point from which so many bands of ruthless plunderers have started on their raids upon the peaceful and wealthy cities of Central China, has been captured by the Imperialist Army under the command of Tseng-kwo-chuen, the Go vernor of Chekiang, and brother of the Viceroy of the pro' vinces of Kiang Nan and Kiang Su, _ _ The city was stormed on the 19th of this month through a breach, caused by a mine sprung under the wall, near the east gate. Rumours of its capture reached me on the day following the assault, but I paid no attention to them, having been so often deceived by reports of Chinese victories. On the 24th of this month, however, I obtained a copy of the memorial to the Throne, formally announcing the capture. On the following day I started for Nankin in her Majes ty's ship Slaney, intending to congratulate the Chinese Commander in Chief on the auspicious termination of his two year's siege. I found his Excellency at the camp out side the south gate of the city. When the Imperialists made good their entrance into the ctty, they found that the palace of the TienWang, the leader of the rebellion, and the claimant for many years past of Divine honours and attributes, had been burnt to the ground. It is said the impostor and his immediate attend ants lie buried in its ruins. lam inclined to credit the rumour, for the city has been closely blockaded since Ja nuary last, and I think that nothing but a desperate sortie would have enabled him to get clear. But the most important fact of all is the capture of Chung Wang. This person has for many years teen the most rest less and determined of all the desperadoes Tai-ping-donx has sent forth. He it was who threatened Shanghae in 1860 ; he was Admiral Hope's antagonist in his operations near Skanghae ; he fought against Col. Gordon at Soochow. He tried to introduce the foreign elements into his levies, and was said by rebel sympathisers to be the main hope of the Tai-ping cause in its declining days. After the assault, he managed to leave the city with a few followers, but he was captured three days subsequently by a party of ca valry. I was much pressed to visit the Chung Wang in his confinement, but declined, as I had no personal acquaintance with him. On the day following my interview with the Comman der-in-Chief, I rode into the city and visited the breach. Words cannot describe the utter desolation of everything within the walls. The thoroughfares traversed by me were the streets between the south-west and east gates, and those between the south-west and south gates. On either hand, the houses left standing had the appearance of having been tenantless for years, while the gaudy gateways, denoting the residences of the wangs or princes, opened in most in stances on to courts full of brick-bats and charred timbers. As for the side streets, they were many of them overgrown withjungle four feet high. During my ride through the city I saw a great number of unburied bodies, and in many places the smell was so offensive that both myself and Lieut. Lee, who accom panied me, were almost overpowered. But on the whole I came to the conclusion that the rebel force in the city at the time of its capture could not have been very large. The Imperialists, according to their own account, spared very few able-bodied males, so that the dead lying in the streets would be a fair criterion of the strength of the garrison. I estimate it at 10,000 men, against 50,000 under the imperialist commanders. I think a ride through the streets of Nankin, as they are at present, would satisfy the most ardent advocate of the rebel cause of the dreadful hollowness of the system they support. Some 11 years ago the Tai-pings took Nankin, then one of the finest cities in China. Ever since its cap ture it has been their headquarters. In it the chiefs of the movement built their tawdry houses, and from it they dis patched their plundering bands in all directions. Mean while the works of civil government and social organize... tion are entirely neglected, and when the city is retaken it is found to be a wilderness of houses. FRIGHTFUL CATASTROPIIE.—A frightful catasat trophe took place a few nights ago at Geneva. Ono of the large houses on the quay, near the grand post.office, was burnt to She ground, and 13 persons who resided in it burnt to death. Several persons who were rendering assistance received injuries, particularly a surgeon, who had his shoulder dislocated, NEW SPORTING WORK BY THE AUTHOR OF " HANDLEY CROSS."
