ONEy MARKET' AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE o'CLocK. 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 mend for money, either immediate or prispeetive. 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 just now absorbing all the supplies 3f gold she can obtain, and ita their own 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 a 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 41- 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. In 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, 1833, MARKETS---This Day, MARK-LANE. In the country markets held on Saturday there was a fair demand for English wheat, and all good and fine quali 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-4,310 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 market. A few parcels were on sala in poor condition, but, generally speaking, 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. Toe show of fine malting barley on offer 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 dew 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 difficut 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 28i1bs. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURR.

This morning the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, the. Recorder, and the other civic functionaries attended the Lord Chan cellor, for the purpose of presenting, for her Mejesty'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 characterised by honour and in tegrity. The learned gentleman then proceeded to give an account of Alderman Lawrence's antecedents, adding 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 Lonn 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 most disti ngu i s h ed 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 h a d made in electing him to be chief magistrate of the City of London. 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. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. Owing to the prevailing hbavy 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 ,endency. The arrival of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis tricts, as well as from Ireland, were 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 Sibs Second qualities of beef advanced 2d per 81bs, 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 short-horns, &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 wap 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 fie Bd, but a few pens realised 5s 10d per 81bs. Although the supply of calves was limited, the veal trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. There was slight improvement in the sale for pigs, at very full prices.

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 will comme: ice on Thursday next, the amount of business doing is by no means extensive. The import, last week, was 1,673 bales Commencement of Term.—This Day. The business in the superior courts of law was resumed to-day. In the morning the Judges, Queen's Counsel, and the lea di n g members of the bar, were entertained at breakfast by the Lord Chancellor, according to annul custom, and afterwards they went in procession to Westminster-hall to open their respective Courts. There were a great many persors assembled within the hall to witness their lordships' arrival. The public business did not commence until a very late hour. THE GALE, In London the wind continued high during the whole of Saturday, and yesterday there were several strong gusts, acco mpanied 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 stems 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 inhabitant s of the houses ran into the street, fearing that the adjoining ho . uses 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. 10, 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, i Matthew, B e th na l- green, but they re fused to make use of t, 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 further apprehension of danger.

In the dnoenigall,baonudrinag city yof windmill Rochester, the Bor s t a ll- road, at the out skirts of the city , be lon ging to Mr. Elorsnail, was much injured. A portion of the roof of St. Peter's Church was also stripped. In Chatham dockyard a portion of the gal. vanized plating covering some of th e b u il ding sheds was lift e d 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 that district of the town were partially unroofed. Noftwicit, 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. Island, however, various injuries were inflicted. At Colchester some damage was occasioned to a new 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. --- -- --- LIVERPOOL, Saturday. During 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 all 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. LEEDS, 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 are 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.

The gable of a house in Darling's Brae fell on the ro)f of an ad joining house, and part of it went through w h ose escape was effected with great upon the inmates, 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 nor t h ern and unprotected, fell gable, being left exposed soon after wards, Several casualties in the Firth of Forth have been the Lake, laden with fit reported. The sloop Lady of On e t zi wp . ; B being towed from Queens ferry to Leith, when, at the height of the storm, about S o'clock, the towing rope broke. The tug was obliged to run under Inchkeith for shelter, being unable to make Leith harbour, and the sloop, on board which were two men, has not since been heard of.

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 picking the pocket of Mrs. Amelia Schuster, of 6, Great Pulteney-street, while in the shop of 111 r. 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 staod 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 his hand in my pocket. I said, " What do you want with your hand in my pocket." He wade 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 it 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 tor some purchases I was about to make, when I found 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 said 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 tiowes, sale—un attempting 1,. ume me 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. 21d, in his possession. Thos. Dennison, 166 C—l Was bit 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, and 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, Tothill-street, 88 yards of calico. The prosecutor stated that about 8 o'clock 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 he heard the cry of " Stop thief," and seeing the pri sonor running stopped him. He at the same time said, "It is 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 chat ged 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, THAMES, Mr. Woolrych, whose vacation h as j us t t erminated, 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 sea t . This is a tolerably good day's work in a p olice- court for on e d a y. 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 shoe maker , name d Lacy and his wife, in Spread Eagle - s treet, Lunehouse, on Satur day night. The Lacys, who are industrious people, had occas i on to give evidence against some connections of the Discrolls a few weeks ago, and since they have been fiercely persecuted. Oh Saturday they were savagely ass aulted by th e pH • Boners, John taking a leading part in the outrage, Dennis Driscoll gave the name of Thomas Donovan. He was recognised as a ticket-of-:eave man, and Inspector Beare, of the K division, said the prisoner was tried as D enn i s Driscoll, at the Cl er k enwe ll S e ssions, in January, 1861, con victed of felony and sentenced to three years' p ena l servi tude. The prisoner was liberated on a t icket -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.

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 VendOrne. The scaffolding, which is now completed, rests on the gallery on which visitors stand who wish to have a view of Paris and its environs. The total elevation of the pillar is 135 ft. The statue itself, which is 1 1 ft. or 121 t. high, is now almost entirely c oncea l e d f rom view 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 Castigleone, attracted by the operations, stand and look on, app arent l y amazed at the unceremonious manner of the workmen, either astride on the shoulders or fastening ropes r ound the legs o f the statue, while every p recautio n is taken against the Emperor falling suddenly from his pedestal to the ground. ~ As I have already mentioned the ide a of Napole on i n re moving the statue which represents . tting one military costume, and in its placo would recall, not the great captain , which Pu of a dynasty, is not a new one. but the founder present Sovereign immediately ' It occurred to the after The column of the PlaceVendome the coup d'etat. every body knows, made of the Russian was, as cannon taken at the battle and Austrian bas-reliefs of the shaft , of Austerlitz, and the capital, display in spirally ascending to the chronological actions of the f order the principal to that armybattle from its departure from Bou logne wore The costume which the com mandereU th. suppose, most ap m ese . occasions was, one would priate for a monument which, unlike those of the i triumphal arch at the top of the Ch amps ElYsees displays no . allegorical figures; and both the taste and the policy of substituting a Roman Emperorple have French peo may be doubted. The mass of the h everthe gray associated re(ivi h o i t m e withltisr i n o little cock e d h at an d this costume by which he is known to them. For one print or statuette you see of Napoleon in his robes, with the sceptre in 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 th e wiueshop, ior i n the chaumere, it is the same. I doubt whether the French peasantry or the French trooper woula re. cognise hi m i n a ny other form. They know him and remember him m ore b y his military deeds than by anything else. They are more familiar with the great moldier who won Lodi, Arcola, Mare ngo, Austerlitz, and trim, than With the new f ounder of a dynasty." Naval and Military Intelligence, THE NAVY. A court-martial assembled on Thursday on board the Royal Adelaide in Hamoaze, for the purpose of trying Jas. Franklin, A. 8., of the screw steam frigate Liverpool, 39, Capt. R. Lambert, for having on or about the 3d day of August, at Leith, deserted from the said ship, and on the 12th Sept. disobeyed the commands of Lieut. Robert Pit man and Peter Daine, ship's corporal, when ordered to holy stone deck between two guns. The prisoner having pleaded guilty to the first charge, and the Court being of opinion that the second charge had been proved, he was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment with hard labour, and at the expiration to be dismissed her Majesty's service. A second court-martial was held on Mr. Geo. Gleason, chief engineer of her Majesty's ship Liverpool, for having, while on actual service, been absent without leave from the said ship from the 22d to the 29th of Sept., 1853. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and the Court determined that he should be dis missed from her Majesty's ship Liverpool, and be placed at the bottom of the list of chief engineers in her Majesty's navy. _ The following appointments wore made on Friday at tho Admiralty Commander H :—Coz w a raa k n e d g er E.

Preparations for the court-martial on Lieut.• Col. Craw., ey continue to be actively made at Aldershot. No official notification has yet been issued fixing the opening day o f 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 dato. The following is a complete list of the officers have alre a dy arr i ve d i n the camp f or examination on the trial : Capt. Curtis, Lieut. Snell, Dr. Turnbull, Quar termaster Charles Wooden, V.C., Capt. Renshaw, !Aleuts. Davies, and Wallace, Capt. Weir, Cornet Davis. The non commissioned officers and men consist of 20 sergeants, 16 corporals, 87 privates, which, with the above-named officers, 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. Tho 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 ; s i ck 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 88 5d a ga i nst £ l5O Os hi in the previous year, an increase of expenditure having arisen on the pur chase of clothing for the use of patients in the hospital. The report, which is signed and " ap proved" by Lieutenant-General Sir J. L. Pennefather, 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 line 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 Ist 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 art incorrigibly bad character, he was sentenced to penal servi. tude for 10 years. The sentence has been confirmed by her Majesty. "Ft IV. too will wail for Ncw 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, freight ship, belonging to Messrs. Soames, arrived on Friday afternoon from China, and dis embarked at Woolwich-pier, No. 3 battery, 13th brigade, consisting of Capt. and Brevet-Major Govan, Second Capt.

Sandwith, 29th Foot ; and 40 invalids from different corps. 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 one 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.
