STAMPED sd. JVA J 7 AL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. A circular memorandum issued to the heads of departments by the Secretary of State for War was yesterday made known at Weolwich, in which it is stated that various ortant changes are about to be introduc. d in the War Department. lie calls the attention of the officials at Woolwich to the fact, and anticipates that they will use every endeavour to aid him in carrying out the improvements adopte I by Government for reducing the expenses of the establishment. The memorandum states that the military store offices will be conducted, both at home and abroad, by Controllers who will be ap pointed for that purpose, and it is hoped that the changes will be met in the usual spirit of energy and diligence usual with the officers in the depart ment hitherto. The head-quarters staff of the 11th brigade field artillery have arrived at Woolwich from Shorncliffe, and have taken over the west wing of the Royal Artillery barracks for occupation by the D, E, F, and G batteries of that brigade, now on their voyage from Alexandria in her Majesty's screw steam troop Indian transport Crocodile, Captain Watson, from Agra, Morar, Bareilly, and Cawnpore. The head quarters consist of Col. C. J. Wright, Lieut.-Col. E. Mowbray, Capt. and Adjt. P. H. Sandilands, Quartermaster W. Lloyd, Surgeon W. A. White, M.D., and 30 non-commissioned officers and men, with three women and three children. The brigade will then be distributed as under :—A, B, and C batteries to remain at Shorncliffe, the four named above to be quartered at Woolwich with the head quarters, and the II battery at Hilsea. The chartered steam transport No. 16, Cou moundouros, Captain Stragnell, alongside the T pier at Woolwich Arsenal, yesterday commenced discharging a cargo of Government stores from Alexandria, Malta, and Gibraltar. They consist of 29 heavy siege guns, from Malta, one of which weighs 95 cwt., and gun carriages ; a large number of mule stalls, for transfer to Deptford ; damaged pump engines from the 21-gun frigate Endymion, &c. A detachment of non-commissioned officers and rank and file of the Military Train engaged in the shipment of pack animals for Abyssinia also re turned to Woolwich by the Coumoundouros, as well as Captain Stewart and Captain Going, Royal Navy. She sailed from Alexandria December 8, and experienced a heavy gale until she entered Malta harbour, which she left on the 21st, and took her departure for Gibraltar, whence she sailed on the 30th for England with a continuance of north easterly winds. Another composite-built, unarmoured gunboat of 463 tons, was launched yesterday from under the building sheds of Portsmouth dockyard. The bottle of wine was broken on the stem, and the name of the Elk bestowed upon the vessel by Miss Cree, the daughter of Staff-Surgeon E. H. Cree, M.D., of the dockyard. The Elk was afterwards towed to one of the dockyard jetties to receive her outfit for com mission. She will carry as her armament one 6i-ton muzzle-loading rifle, and one 40-pounder breech loading rifle. Her engines will possess a combined total nominal power of 120-horse, and will drive a pair of three-bladed twin screws. The Arrogant, unarmoured screw frigate, recently sold out of the navy, left Portsmouth harbour yes terday in tow of a private steam tug, for the ship breaker's yard on the banks of the Thames. The Danae, 6 guns, 350-horse power, Capt. Sir Malcolm MacGregor, returned to Spithead yester day morning from her cruise down Channel. The Industry, screw-storeship, Staff-Commander Bawden, sailed from Spithead for Woolwich early yesterday morning. Mr. W. Swainson, the Admiralty coroner at Portsmouth, held an official inquiry yesterday on board her Majesty's ship Minotaur, Captain James Goolenough, the flagship of Rear-Admiral Fre derick Warden, C. 8., alongside Portsmouth dock yard, into the cause of the death of William Brock, a seaman of that ship, who died from injuries re ceived by falling on the ship's upper deck from aloft on .the previous day. From the evidence taken, and in particular from that given by the captain of the maintop, it appears that one of the ratlines uu the lower main rigging had been carried away by the main topsail yardarm in lower in c; the yard from aloft. - When the men afterwards came down on deck from the maintop, the deceased followed next to Cunningham, the captain of the top. The latter saw the ratline gone from the shrouds, and avoided the gap, but before he had time to warn the man following him the deceased was falling through feet foremost, and fell on the upper deck, a distance of about 40 ft., striking the deck first with his feet in the position in which he fell through the gap in the rigging. He died in little more than an hour from the time of the acci dent from shock to the spine and concussion of the brain. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." It is a remarkable fact that not a bone was broken by the fall, nor were any outward marks visible on the body. The deceased was one of the smartest of the Minotaur's fine crew of seamen, and was universally respected by every officer and man in the ship. He had taken no leave ashore since the return of the ship to Portsmouth from her summer's cruise, but had obtained leave for 14 days, to commence in about a week's time, for the purpose of being married. The Ranger, 5, screw gun vessel, Commander Win. A. Cambier, arrived at Spithead yesterday , morning from the West Coast of Africa, and re mained there up to sunset last evening, awaiting orders from the Admiralty. She sailed from As cension previous to the screw store-ship Industry, which arrived at Spithead one day before her, and consequently her news has been anticipated. The Blanche, 6, screw sloop, 1,268 tons, 360 horse power, recently commissioned at Sheerness by Capt. J. E. Montgomerie, was taken for a preliminary run on Thursday last, previous to the trial of her machinery on the measured mile. The vessel was in charge of Capt. A. A. Cochrane, C. 8., of the Steam Reserve, and Mr. E. J. Reed, Chief Con structor of the Navy ; the designer of the vessel was also present during the run. The vessel was timed on the mile for two runs, when an average speed of upwards of 13 knots was attained. The engines, built by Messrs. Miller and Ravenhill, worked exceedingly well, and it is believed the vessel will answer the utmost anticipations of her designer. The Columbine, 4, screw sloop, 672 tons, 150- h ors e power, Commander J as. F. Erskine, arrived at Sheerness from the Pacific ou Wednesday even ing, bringing home invalided men and supernume raries from her Majesty's ships on the south-west coast of America. The Columbine has been in commis sion four years and eight months, and has been cruising along the west coast of North and South America, from Valparaiso on the coast to Van couver's on the north, and including the Sandwich lanels. She is reported by her officers to be a he althy, comfortable, handy, and quick ship, espe cially under sail. She is fitted with Lumley's rudder, and her return has demonstrated the value of this plan of rudder to ships on long voyages. The ship was inspected on Thursday by the Com mander-in-Chief, Sir B. W. Walker, K.C.8., and was taken into the large basin in Sheerness dock yard to be dismantled. She will be paid out of commission in a few days. The following appointments were made at the Admiralty yesterday afternoon : Alfred E. Stanley, Navigating Sub-Lieutenant, to the Beacon ; William A. R. Ryan, Midshipman, to the Defence; Richard R. A. Richards, Paymaster, to the Royalist ; Horace A. Lapidgo, clerk, to the Royalist; Henry A. Linvener, assistant paymaster, (in charge) to the Beacon ; Charles F.

In the centre of a low, round hill, com posed of sedimentary matter, there is a natural bowl about 75 feet in diameter, and apparently 60 or 70 feet in depth. At the bottom there is a large volume of scalding hot water constantly in active ebullition. The water is so pure that a stone thrown into it is seen descending with a slow spiral motion to a great depth, being gradually drawn toward the point where the spring seems to burst from the rocks beneath. The lake has no outlet, and the water stands at about 20 feet below its banks.

In cases of depraved or superabundant bile these pills, taken freely, have never been known to fail. In bowel complaints they are equally efficacious, but they should then be taken rather more sparingly, for every me dicine in the form of an aperient requires caution when the bowels are disordered, though a gentler or more genial aperient than these pills in moderate does, has never yet been ruc discovered.

This aristocratic holiday meeting, held near the seat of the Marquis of Hastings at Donington, was brought off to-day, having been postponed from last week owing to the frost and snow. Tho weather under went a marked change in Derbyshire at the opening of the week, and whilst in London every conceivable descr i p tion of weather was experienced, it w as qu it e mild and open in some of the midland counties, and not the slightest fear was enter tained of the meeting being interfered with. There was a slight frost on Thursday night, but it was only sufficient to crust the ground, and it was only in the most exposed places that the course was at all hard, and the " going" was pronounced excellent. There was a very large at tendance, and a brilliant company present from the hall. The weather was fi ne , th ou gh cold, and the local p eo p le ' evinced great inter e st i n the sport, w hich was, however, of an. uninteresting des cr ipti on , requiring no com ment.

The favourite came down at the brook about 200 yards from the start, and Kate was loft with a clear lead to the next fence. Here she refused, and before she was got over Nonpareil was on level terms with her. The pair alter nately led until a couple of miles of the journey had been accomplished, when the favourite, who cleared the jump first, ran on the wrong side of a flag, losing a great deal of ground. She, however, speedily closed the gap, and took up the running finally about half a mile from home, winning rather cleverly by two lengths. On returning to scale, Captain Johnson, the rider of Kate, objected to the winner, on the ground of having gone on the wrong side of a flag. As the mistake was seen from the Stewards' Stand, the objection was immediately decided, Nonpareil being disqualified, and the stakes awarded to Kate.

Betting-6 to 4 agst Shadow, 3to 1 agst St. Jacur, 4to 1 agst Come Again. Charity Boy refused at the first jump, and blundering subsequently was thrown hopelessly into the rear before half a mile of the journey had been covered. Come Again made the running, attended by St. Jacur, the favourite going on third till ruching the fourth obstacle, which St. Jacur refused, and Shadow was left in attendance upon Come Again. The pair closed on descending the hill, and cleared three of the jumps abreast of each other, but Shadow got a slight advantage at the bend. This she relinquished at the last fence, and Come Again won a good race by three-quarters of a length ; St. Jacur was pulled up after going half the distance. Mr. Brockten objected to the winner for having been the winner of a race last season, and therefore not en titled to start. The objection remains in abeyance.

Mr. Raillsford, a suit against the minister of the, chapel of ease in the district of Kennington for not paying over the offertory to the church- wardens of the parish, Sir Travers Twiss, judge of the Cons; , >ry Court, has ordered the matter to proceed in the form of a civil suit against Mr. Rainsford calling on him to show cause why he sliould not pay over the offertory alms. THE DINING-ROOM DODGE.- Charles Underwood, a lawyer out of practice, who, it will be remembered, was charged before the Lora Irayor a week ago with obtaining a most expensive dinner at a (lining hall, and then being unable to pay for it, has again been brought before the bench. At the last examination the priGoner pleaded that the Lord Mayor had no jurisdiction, as the action ought to have been brought in the county court. The prii3oner, it now appeared, .had been duping iLif.eep,:rs at the pro vincial towns also, and had been three times convkted of vagrancy. After some considerat:oa the Lord 11.1ap,r said he must discharge the prisoner simply on the ground that he did not steal the things ; they voluntarily gave him the food, and he took advantage of them. PENNY TOY PISTOLS.—Sir R. W. Carden, at the Guild hall, had before him a young man charged with firing off and selling toy pistols. The detective sergeant who made the charge said that the prisoner exploded the pistol close to his ear. The effect was like the prick of a needle, and he felt it for five minutes. Sir R. Carden said the toy was very dangerous, and the report might frighten horses. He sent the defendant to prison for five days. EAST-END PAWNBROKERS.—A member of one of the committees for relieving the distress in the East-end of London brought a case before Mr. Paget, at the Thames Police-court, shewing what sacrifices the poor had to make in order to support themselves. He said that a poor woman had been compelled to pawn all she was possessed of to purchase bread, and the last thing on which she could raise money were two decanters. She took them to a pawn. broker, named Louis Lauenburg, and he offered to lend her Bd. only. She consenting, two dupli. cates were made out instead of one, and she was charged a halfpenny for each. By making two duplicates, the pawnbroker would be able to charge double interest, the interest for 4d. being the same as for Bd. Mr. Paget, while doubting that he could assist the applicant, said he would look into the law on the subject. A NEW DANGER.—Two rough young fellows were sen tenced at the Clerkenwell Police-court to a month's impri sonment for riding from Peterborough to London under the seats of a first-class railway-carriage. The men were without tickets, and appear to have been only tramps, tired of walking. The magistrate, in sentencing them, observed that if a lady had got into the carriage, and dis covered the presence of the Auen while the train was on its way, she might have been frightened to death. DOG-STEALERS AND THEIR PRACTICES.—In the same court, two men, named Atherton and Barrett, were charged at the instance of Marquis Graham with stealing a dog. Having suddenly missed his dog in the street, the marquis sent a detective to make inquiries of a well-known dog-stealer, named Atherton. The detective, getting thief into conversation, noon made known to him that the marquis had lost his dog, and wanted him (the thief) to find it. If he succeeded in doing so, he would receive £5. Another day was fixed for the restoration, when Atherton, after getting the £5, brought in Barrett, who handed over the dog. The two men were shortly after arrested. The magistrate committed them both for trial. EMBEZZLEMENT BY A TRAVELLER.-At Birmingham tteorge Maidstone Pearson, commercial traveller, has been charged with embezzling upwards of £2OO, the moneys of his employers, the St. Helen's Glass Company. It was stated that the manager of the firm having occasion to put an assistant traveller on prisoner's round, had discovered that he had received £l5O from a Mr. Travis, of Stour bridge, which he had not accounted for. On making this known to prisoner he at once admitted his guilt, and further investigation had revealed embezzlements to the amount mentioned. Prisoner was committed for trial, bail being allowed in two sureties of £l5O each. ACTION ON A CHEQUE ON BARNED'S BANK.—In an action brought in the Liverpool Court of Passage, to re cover £l5 11s. 2d., the amount of a cheque for - goods sold and delivered ; it appeared that the plaintiff, Mr. Flynn, who resides in Ireland, had from, time to time previous to the 18th April, 1866, sent poultry to the defendant, Mr. Iluthven, a dealer residing in Liverpool. On the 18th of April, 1866, the plaintiff received a cheque for the above amount from the defendant, and the lank stopped pay ment on the following day. It was contended that the plaintiff had been guilty of negligence in not having pro sented the cheque before the stoppage. A verdict for the full amount was returned for the plaintiff. CONFESSION OF A RAILWAY OUTRAGE.—About six years since a fatal accident happened on the North-Eastern IZail_ way, at Pannal, to Wm.l4lrton, an engine-driver, owin.r to something having been placed on the line, which threw off the engine. A man named Steel has been charged at Knares borough, virtually on his own confession, with having caused the accident. It appeared that at a public-house near Leeds, a few days back, the accident was referred to. The prisoner, who was present, said that if he told all he knew about that he would have to be answerable for it, though he was twenty miles off at the time ; that it was not done for him (Burton) more than anyone else ; it was done in a drunken spree. lie further stated that there was a coachman in it. The statements made by the prisoner were sworn to by several persons. After +heir examinations were taken, he was remanded. THE OWNER OF THE GLYCERINE AT NEWCASTLE.-- Mr. Spark, who was, we believe, stated to be the owner of the nitro-glycerine which exploded at Newcastle, has been sent to prison for refusing to obey an order made by the Bank ruptcy Court. The order called upon him to pay over £BO which he had received in the matter of a bill of sale. An application has been made to release him, but as he sti!l refused to obey the order, the Commissioner declined to grant it. A POLYCIAMIST.—At the meeting of the Bridg water board of guardians, a man named James Wright, who is a rigger of vessels, applied for relief, stating that he was suffering from disease which incapacitated him from work. The mayor informed the board that the appli cant had actually married four wives, three of whom, to his certain knowledge, were still living, and they were all " young, hale, hearty women," able to maintain the applicant. The board at once decided to refuse the relief to Wright. STATISTICS OF INDEPENDENCY.—The new volume of the " Congregational Year Book," a compendium of information relating to the Independents, and a statistical record of their progress, has just been published. It ap pears that there are 1,989 Independent churches in Eng land, and 2,217 in the empire, besides 1,613 preaching stations ; 174 churches in England are without pastors, and 417 ministers are without congregations, but this number includes the aged and disabled. The Pastors' Retiring Fund, to facilitate the retirement of ministers from their work when incapacitated for efficient service, already amounts to 250,000, and steps are being taken to raise it to £lOO,OOO. Eighty-six ministers have received annuities from the fund since its institution in 1860. FIVE LIVES LOST BY DROWNING.—A very lamentable accident has occurred at Wendover. A num ber of boys were sliding upon a frozen piece of water called Hampden Pond, but the ice, being thin, gave way, and seven of the boys were immersed in the water. Assistance w as speedily summoned, and two of , the number were rescued, but the bodies of the remaining five were not re covered until they had been nearly half an hour in the water. The most strenuous efforts to restore life were made by the medical gentlemen who had been summoned to the spot, but without success. The sufferers were nearly all of the same age—about 12. THE FENIAN COMMISSARIAT. —The suburbs of Cork are now infested at night by bands of robbers, who plunder the provision shops and faimers' houses. The press speaks with honest indignation of the " ruffians," as they are called, who perpetrate these offences. Why, however, should the brave fellows who attend to the com missariat department be censured, whilst those who steal revolvers are applauded? A lad named Michail Corcoran was arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of being con. cerned in the recent rubbery of powder. He was remanded for eight days. GOLDFIELDS OF NOVA SCOTIA.—It is about six years since gold was first discovered in any appreciable quantity in Nova Scotia, and for a good while after the discovery was made very little comparatively was done in developing this source of national wealth. Gradually, however, the matter has been making progress. Those who engaged in mining found that it paid, and their success always attracted more; to make trial in the same field. It may seem something like exaggeration, and yet we believe it is quite correct, to say that, consider;ng the extent of the gold-producing. are a, the quantity of quartz mined, and the number of men employed, Nova Scotian goldfields, wrought imperfectly as they have been, are the most productive in the world. Since 1862 about 120,0000 z. of gold, or nearly 3i tons, have been secured, amounting in value to nearly $2,500,000. The yield in 1867 has not been less than 30,0000 z., or about $600,000, almost half the value of the yearly yield of coal in Nova Scotia. In the Sherbrooke district the average yield per miner engaged has risen from $562 in 1862 to $1,669 in 1867. There has been as much as 117 oz. of gold got from a ton of quartz, and the average yield over all has been 1 ounce and 3 . grains,—Toronto Globe. • I
