ANOTHER JACK STEELE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—There are more "Jack Steeles" in the British: army than perhaps the country wots of. You have quoted the instance of two in the In fantry ; I hope you will not refuse to chronicle one of the Artillery. It is that of the present Q darter master of the 2d battalion of that corps. I need not designate him by name, lest, like all such men, he should not be pleased at it. He was the sergeant major of the G field battery attached to the Second Division, and landed with it in the Crimea. He was zealous and intelligent, and an example to every one in the performance of his duty. At the I Battle of Inkermann a portion of the battery to which he was att tchsd, for a moment deserted by the infantry, fell into the hands of the enemy. The Artillery "Jack Steele," the Q uartermaster I speak of, aided by a gunner, with that courage so often characteristic of the British soldier, and . which seems to set all odds of number at defiance, stood his ground. He got his back to a wheel and de fended himself as well as he could with his short sword. He was bayonetted in no less than twelve places. The gunner, whose name (it may cause a glow of pride in some cottaee or home in England to mention it) was James Taylor, was killed—at least he died of his wounds next day. The Russians for some unaccountable reason did not fire, but they used their bayonets freely on the two English men both while they resisted and when, from the ff ct 3 of their wounds, they fell. There were soon driven back., I believe, by a portion of the 88th Regiment, and the guns recovered. The SE rireant major was taken into camp and his wounds at tended to. One in the breast, from his difficulty of breathing, was eupposed to have penetrated the He was sent to Scutari, and recovering suffi ciently, he, at his own request rejoined his battery in the Crimea, and he was, though a good deal debilitated, the same active, attentive non-com missioned officer he bad always been. He coutinued in this position until, for his merits and his services, he was promoted to a commission in the Land Tiansport Corps. He remained in the Crimea with this part of the service until the war was over. He won the respect and esteem of all under whom he served in the Artillery, and I believe he did the same in the arduous duties he bad to perform in the newly-raised Land Transport Corps. When peace came the latter was reorganised (we are always reorganising everything now-a-days)and became the Military Train. The Artillery sergeant major, who had risen to the rank of captain, was offered, with the liberality and good faith which distinguished the end of the war, an inferior posi tion under the new arrangement, or a half-pay of ss. a-day. He very properly accepted the latter, and an excel]: nt soldi , :r in the prime of life was worse than lost to the service. It is almost equally the same in his present position. He is, as a quar termaster of a b ittalion, condemnel to be stationed all his life at Woolwich, and never to rise higher. He is decorated with a well-earned ViAoria C:oss, but his military career is at an end. If he has any ambitious aspirations, any desire to do more than he has done—and his decoration at the hands of his Queen, with the notice be has met with for his valour, makes it likely that it is so—he must bo content to merge them in that sickly designation, more sickly now than ever to such men as he in the present circumstances of England, a " Woolwich soldier." It is a hard case that some hope of a worthier and better fate is not before him. Is it, may I ask, im possible to open it ? He has qualities besides the highest courage, or no one would seek it for him. If you notice his case, perhaps something may he ne. These men never grumble, never attend levees, never disturb official ease in any way. The desire to do their duty is their first and. only con sideratien. They wid, I think, be grateful to the liberally of the Times to permit to be said for them whet their modesty will never allow them to sty for theinselve=. If they can be benefited, and ours must be a bad system indeed if they cannot, the service will re ceive an impulse which will circulate a healthy tone to its very extremities. If we have no room for such men, let us crowd less and try to.make it. A FIELD OFFICER, R. A. Sept. 20. SCIYDIA AND lIOLKAR. At a time when these almost forgotten names are likely to become ai familiar as they were in the days of L tke and Wellesley, the following extract from a rtceut number of the Wellin f uton, Gazette rn•ty nut be uninteresting : " The most powerful of the modern families were those of Holkar and Scindia. The founder of the former was the nephew of an officer of the court. When about 7 years old he was marked out for dis tinction by a prodigy that might have been related of a Greek or Roman hero. A snake was seen fan ning him withits hood, while he slept on the ground unconscious of the presence of so datigcrous a neigh bour. When still young ho was taken to the capi tal by his uncle, and ho gradually rose to a high po sition at the Pcshwa's Court. Readopted in coursa of time another Holkar, and the families continued to rise in fame and importance. They obtained a Jaghir e, or military fief, and their capital was In dore, in the province of Malwa, which ultimately became divide I between the Poshwa, Roltiar, and Scindia. " The Scindia family were of skill more humble origin : Ty -apa, their founder, was a Khettnutgar, or personal atendant of the great' Bagi Be.o, so called to distinguish him from a successor in the Peshvreship who will figure in the subsequent ner retive. Like the first Holkar, Ty apa was raised to power and then defied his benefactors. But the military charaAer of the Pesh was was not yet ex tinct, and the first Sciudia was overpowered by their troops, and Ives at last assassinated while on a campaign. His de,:ceniants inherited his warlike and Criet °Aching spirit, and seized the government of Ougein, the ancient capital of the Sing of Mal wa. The jealousy of these two great families seemed inextinguishable—Rome and Alba, Athens and Sparta, were not more bent on mutual exami nation, and the wars of the Holkars and Scindias would furnish to history an episode as exciting as those of York and Lancast:T. A singe defeat produced but a slight impression—the slaughter of a chief served but to inaugurate the reign of a more energetic successor. The Holkars seemed utterly overthrown in the great battle of 1797, as fierce and brilliant a deed of arms as Bannockburn or Crecy- ; bat seven years afterwards Jeswnnt Rao Holkar was knocking at the gates of Imperial Delhi. " The Girkwar was another chief of importance; the first who bore the title contributed to establish the fame of the Mahratta arms, and received valu able gnints in Jaghire. He afterwards asserted his independence, and seized the maritime province of Guzerat, which at the time of our narrative still re mained in his family. Another potentate was the Raja of Berar, whose ancestor had received Berar, in Jahite. but had converted it into a separatJ State, and acknowledged only the political autho rity of the Peshwa. Thus there was no less than five distinct rulers in the Mahratta country, each with his own capital and his own court. Holkar and Scindia were incomparably the most influential, and. the Peshwa was perhaps the weakest of all, though all called him their superior. The legal fictions of this peculiar people were carried into the empire itself, where, after Sciudia,'s arms had placed him at the head of affairs, the Peshwa was styled Va guel ul Mutuluk, or Regent under the Emperor; the conqueror himself was the Peshwa's deputy, and M. Perron, commander-in-chief of Scindia, called his troops the imperial army, and himself the sub ject and servant of the Great Mogul. " Mons. Perron was the second European wbo had commanded Mahratta forces ; the first was n Mons. de Boigue, a nativ e of Savoy, w ho diatecid plined. the army of Madaji Scindia, a d attrac many foreigner., especially Frenchmen, to the ser vice.

I will (D.V.) write by next CAWNPORE. The following is the copy - of a letter from an officer whose regiment mutinied in one of the sta tions iu Oude. He is with General Havelock's force as a Cavalry volunteer : "Camp before Cawnpore, July 21. " I wrote to you on the day of our fight at Futty pore. The neat day's' march we had no turn-up, but the day after we came across the enemy in as intrenched position with two guns. As usual, the Volunteer Cavalry were in front, and got the .first few rounds of round shot, which came unpleasantly close to us. We immediately advanced in battle order—the Artillery silenced the gun', the Infan try advanced and took the breastwork by storm. i The enemy left their guns in our hands. We ser ved out grog and biscuits to the Europeans, and again advanced, Volunteer Cavalry in front. S— and I went on ahead with the Quartermaster- General to a bridge to reconnoitre the rebels' posi tion. When we arrived within 600 yards the Quartermaster-General looked through his glass at the bridge ahead, and said, r There are no guns ; you. remain here.' I dismounted, when presently a musket or carbine was fired at U 3 from the bridge. The distance was so great that we laughed at it, and S--took off his hat and waved it. No sooner had he done so than a 21-pounder was sent at us, then another. There was a small hut off the road, so we moved behind it, and the beauties sent shot after shot at the body of our volunteers drawn up across the road. They retired, and we were re called. The column then deployed and advanced in order of battle covered by Skinner's troop, armed with Enfield rifles and objectionable cartridge. The infantry alone soon silenced the guns, and .on a rush being made across the bridge we found our selves in possession of a 32 and 21-pounder. " Yesterday we marched, knowing that we were to meet . the enemy in forc,.. We made the ordinary march and bivouacked. The Volun teer Cavalry were posted on a-head, to prevent surprise. I have written so far and find am really 1-o done up I cannot write more, suffice it to say that we had a tremendous battle, and a'l had narrow escapes. The Volunteer Cavalry, 18 in 'l3UrnhPr, made a charge against hun dreds—a very rash thing to do. The General said he was proud to COO3M Ind us. We took eight or nine guns. Altogether it was a most gallant affair. Having bivouacked, we advanced in the afternoon. Our horses had not been unsaddled, and had had little. to eat. I must have ridden 16 miles, and nothing but biscuit anti wine —lO a.m. yesterday, nmys p. tn. You may fancy what the heat is on the march in the middle of the day—officers and men falling from sun strokes. Yesterday's affair was a most gallant one, and the General may be proud of all under him. The advance of the Eu ropeans with round-shot and grape p wring into them was most perfect. We came in for our share. We lost one of our volunteers in the charge, and I am going to attend his funeral this evening.. His brother was with us, 'and it was sad to see the poor boy sobbing in the rank., with his brother lying hacked all over within a few yards. The poor little fellow never asked to be allowed to leave the troop. We must halt to-morrow, and I shall be able to write you a better letter. "Camp, Cawnpere, July 22. "I have been to see the place where the po)r women and children were imprisoned and after wards butchered. It is a small bungalow close to the road. There were all sorts of an iel sof women and children's clothing. Ladies' hair evidently cut off with a sword, back combs, &c. There wer6 also parts of religious books. Where the massacre took place it is covered with blood like a butcher's slaughterhouse, •One would fancy nothing could bo worse than this, but in the well at the. back of the house are the bodies and limbi of the poor things. . I looked down and saw such a sight as I hope never to see again. The whole of the bodies were naked, and the limbs had been separated. I thought of the two Mrs.- -, and the three poor girls, and felt very sad. By all accounts the women were so treated that death, even such a death, must have been welcome to them. I will not enter into moreqletads. I have told you enough to cause you to make allowance if I write savagely. I have looked upon death in every form, but I could not look.down that well again." THE OVERLAND ROUTE FOR TROOPS. The Government have at length made a tardy acknowledo - ment of the advantages of the overlaid route for pouring Erinforcements into India. At present, however, the despatch is to be on a very limited scale, for driblets of 200 or 300 men are to be sent at a time. A gentleman who has lately been in Egypt furnishes us with the following in formation relative to this route :—" Owing to the cloud of official haziness thrown over the subject of transporting troops to India via the Isthmus of Suez, I find that very little is known in England as to the'real capabilities' of that route. Perhaps it may be that our home Government are purposely kept in ignorance as to what might be done by its aid, in order that the °Mon C/42/1 dignitate of our consular agents in Egypt may not receive too rude a shock in being suddenly celled up au to do some thing which would entail a little more trouble than the mere forwarding of a n occas ional despatch from India. A great deal h as b een sl id about the great difficulties of the Passage across the Isthmus. They do not exist, except i n th e ,brains ;.f those who would willingly coejurp th em up in order to ensure a continuance of their personal case and comfort at a time when tie exigencies of the country de mand that the utmost entrgie; of ell should be put forth to secure early succour to our hard-pressed countrymen in India. The consent of the Viceroy of E;ypt and other friendly powers being secured —and I believe it has nicer been contended by Lord Palmerston - that a single diplomatic obstacle retarded the adoption o f suc h a plan—the rest of the case is siatp'y th's :—A rr ived in the harbour of Alexandria, our troops c mid he rowed from the vessel to the wooden jetty at .the mouth of the Mahmoudieh C tnal ie 10 tuinutn ; or, there are always several light-draught s canters in the har b)ur which could be pressed into the service. After landing on the jetty, collecting baggage, and form ing with the strictest military precision on the road near the jetty, tie troops are within ten minutes' very easy march of the railway station. I did it myself very leisurely in that time, carrying a heavily-loaded knapsack, under a blazing sun on the 1041 of August, in the present year of 1857. There is plenty of room on the platform of the railway station at Alexandria to muster' 2,000 men fully accoutred. There is an excellent railway to Cairo 130 miles in length, with nine stations, at th e following distances from each . other :—Between A'extndria. and Kaffre Dowah 17 miles 26 chains (note-80 chains make one mil-) ; between Kaffre Dewagh and Daman hour, 21 miles 27 chains ; betyveen Damanhour and Kaffre La;s, 26 miles 27 chains ; between Kaffr e Lais and Kaffre Azzayat and Tantah, 11 miles ; between Tantah and Byrket-el-Sabah, 11 miles 30 chains ; between Byrket-el-Sabah and Btlyth, 13 miles 7'J chains ; between Benah and Keliout', 19 miles 40 chains ; between Kelioub and Cairo, 8 miles 60 chains. It is t rue . there is only one line of rails, with long sidings at every station, and one or two branch lines; but it is also true that there is only one passenger train a day each way between Alexandria and Cairo ; so that the transport of troops would not at all interfere with the regular traffic of the railway. The only stop page of any consequence is the non-completion of the bridge at Kaffre Azzayat. There the passen gers are transported across the Nilo by means of a huge portable steam-bridge, similar to the one in use at Portsmouth—good Engli-1-built steamers, and lar4e barges. When I last made the trip, on the 10th and 12th of August respectively, there were from 700 to 800 Arabs—men, women, and children—in the train each way, going 'to and from the great annual fair at Tantah . - We wer e all con veye across the Nile, bag and baggage, from the train on one side of the river to the train on the other, in less than half an hour ; but, in accordance with true Oriental usage, we had to sit in the car riages for another hem before starting. An Eng lish regiment, with all its lumb!r, could scarcely be delayed longer than this. The men could take their own provisions with them, and hundreds of Arab women and girls will be found at the roadside stations offering water to the thirsty traveller. The regular passenger trains travel at a speed at 27i miles an hour ; expresses go 45 miles ; but going at the most leisurely pace, our soldiers need not take longer than seven hours on the road be tween Alexandria and Cairo. From Cairo the railway already extends nearly 50 miles across the Desert to Suez, leaving little more than 25 miles of actual marching. Though not quite finished, this portion of the Desert railway is quite fit for use, and has several times, been brought into requisition in conveying the overland mails and luggage. On arriving at Cairo the troops need not leave their carriages, for the lines run into, the same station, and having been supplied with provisions and water, they would, by going on into the middle of l the Desert at once, have no occasion t o wait for stragglers lost in the mazy streets of Grand Cairo. From Alexandria to the extremity of the railway in the Desert need not occupy more than 10 hours ; a night's rest and two days' easy marching Would bring the troops to Suez, where they could embark, as thousands of other people, who are trained to undergo such fatigues, do embark every year. The labour of marching over the Desert must not be made too much of. Half a century ago Napoleon's brave columns and Abercrombie's gallant grenadiers marched over and fought battles in the Egyptian deserts ; and surely no one, after our Crimean ex periences, will be bold enough to say that the Bri tish soldier has degenerated during the last 60 years. I am not surprised that the Government hesitated to adopt the Isthmus route until they were cer tain of having steamers in the Red S a to carry the troops forward on their ay.rival at Suez ; but being now assured of transport at the other end ofthe route, I certainly am exceedingly surprised that our authorities do not seem disposed to make more extensive use of it than they at present ap pear inclined to do. Why not mie bath routes ? But certainly why not use the shot test ? Its advan tages in point of time are greater than the public are allowed to know, its disadvantages a mere bagatel!e, the much-tasked-of inconveniences' a perfect sham in the mouths of men of war, with the examples of Alexander, Napole In, and Aber crombie before them. As a knowl-Age of the real capabilities of the route becomes disseminated, I feel convinced that there will be a universal demand made by the country for troops to be sent to India via the Isthmus of Suez." Tbis is art important statement, Wand .demands immediate attention. — Liverpool Courier. THE MUTINIES IN INDIA. DINAPORE AND ARRAH. The following is a copy of the greater part of a le:tor received from a medical officer in her Ma jesty's 10th at Dinapore DINAPORE, AUG. 2. " Since I last wrote to you the native regiments here have mutinied, but without any loss of life to us. I told you all along the rascals would never attack the 10th. We are all so much disgusted here with the whole affAir that really, as an officer of the regiment, I have neither patience nor time to give a full account of the very bad management of the general and his staff in allowing the three regiments to escape. They went off in the direction of the Soano River, which they managed to cros3, and afterwards marched towards Arrah. The day of the mutiny, and a few hours before it broke out, the general commanding gave orders for the removal of tie percussion caps from the magazine situated at the top of the native lines.. This was dime at an early hour of the morning, and as the artillery cart pasted down where the native regiments were parad ing, the 7th and Bth gave a shout, and showed evi dent symptoms of their desire to stop it ; but they were prevented, and the cart was brought safely on to our mess room. These two regiments were in open revolt at 6 o'clock a.m. The general was informed of the fact, and in plale of ordering up the guns and the 10th to disarm the 7th, Bth, and 40th, on the spot, he only issued the supine order for native officers to collect the caps the Sepoys were in pomession of, and report to him by 12 o'clock that this was effected. When the native officers went to carry, or pretended to ca.' ry, this contemptible and temporising order into effect, the 7th and Bth would not give up their caps, but some of the 40th complied. The European officers belonging to the regiments afterwards went up to the rebels, and endeavoured to get them to do so, but their efforts were unavailing. The Sepoys told their officers to be off, and fired upon them, but h appily without killing or wounding any of them. " The hospital-guard saw all this, and perceiving the officers running towards the 10th's lines the . &gnat guns were fired off from the hospital. The whole of my patients got on the top of it. They kept up a steady fire, and managed, infirm in health as they were, to kill about a dozen of the scoun d els. The regiment turned out, and every one was in his place in the course of a few minutes. I galloped round the houses, and got all the ladies, women, and children brought down to the barracks. The order was given, Guns to the front,' and on we went in the fond anticipation of cutting these three rebel regiments to pieces. Some of the 37th Queen's, who arrived here the day before, were thrown out in skirmishing order. The 10th ad vanced with their guns, and great was our mortifi cation when we perceived the Sepoys running acrcss the country like deer. We tired six guns after them without effect, and here ended this most disgracefully-mismanaged affair. One fellow fired at myself as I was carrying an order, but the ball didnot hit me. Some of the men saw where it came from, and found him concealed in one of the huts ; they soon despatched him. We only killed about 30 of the mutineers ; had they stopped, and given the gallant 10th a chance, they would have bagged the whole, or at all events the greater proportion of them ; and it is galling and most mortifying to the regiment to think that it has br en prevented doing so by the imbecility of the General, whose cowardly conduct for many weeks past has been the means at least of bringing a heavy affliction upon her Majesty's 10th. I must here explain that after the rebels ran off an order was given (two days after wards) for the head-quarters of the regiment to proceed to Arrah by a steamer to relieve some Eu ropeans besieged in that place. This order was, however, cancelled, and a small detachment of the 10 , h was sent, under the command of one of our i•enior captains (Dunbar). The strength of the de tachment amounted to 150 men and four officers. There were also 230 men of the 37th, and a propor- rion of officers, the whole force conititutininenrly 400 men, including eight or 10 officers of the native regiments from here, who volunteered. The boat containing the 37th got aground, brit they were taken on board of the one which was proceeding up with the 10th men. They all landed safely, and continued their march towards Arrah, the whole being under the command of Capt. Dunbar, who made a sad mess of it. He did not, it appears, take the precaution of throwing out an advanced guard, and when ourgallant sOldiers were marching on inthe full hope of doing good work they were, about two o'clock in the morning, fired upon by 2,000 Sepoys, who were lying in ambush for them. Capt. Dun bar was killed on the spot, as well as three offi cers of the 37th. The men became panic-stricken, and they retreated in the direction of the steamer, which lay two miles out in the stream. Both de tachments were severely handled, and the 10th have lost 70 mete killed and wounded in this tiger innate expedition. The 37th sustained pretty much the same loss. The remainder of the detach ment arrived back here on Friday. All our men are badly wounded, and for the last two days I bare had hard work amputating and extrac'ing balls; I wash the blood from my bands to go and write this to you, and again to return to the hos pital. In the absence of Dr. Gordon, on medical cert•ficate, you are aware that 1 have had full me dical charge of the regiment for nearly 12 months past, and in the present untoward emergency I have had plenty to.do, and with little assistance, on account of Dr. Tulloeh, the second assistant, leing with a detachment at Benarer, and from Mr. Tucker, the junior assistant, having been sent off to Patna in medical charge of another detachment on the very day the wounded arrived back from Arrah ; but I have now got assistance, and will manage to get a sleep to-night. Poor Erskine was mortally wounded in the abdomen ; he expired yesterday. Sandwith and Bet'ye were also woundvd, but b eth, lam happy to say, are doing well. The names of the officers of the 37th killed are—Lieu tenant lirgenall and Ensigns Birket and Sale. Mr. Ingleby, of the 7th Regiment, was also killed. He was one of the European officers of the native regiments who volunteered, several of whom ,hare come back here badly wounded ; some have ben drowned, and others are missing. The medic tl officer sent in charge were a'so wounded, and all the medical stores I sent for the use of the men have been lose. I need not say that the poor ladies and wives of the men are in great distress about their husbands. All the ladies are ordered from this to Calcutta. The 10th, now here, are greatly reduced in number., and we have at this time only four officers fit for duty ; but we expect more troops daily. The treasure has been removed from here, and we are all in great excite ment. If you will refer to my letters written more than two months ago, you will read in them, that I th..n advocated the disarming of these regiments, and frankly stated that the General would some day regret his misplaced o mfidence in them. That day has at last arrived, end I p onounce him alone responsible for the lives lost and the blood that has been shed. In the Wi o'e of Her Majesty's army there is not a corps in higher discipline than the 10th. The gallant Colonel Franks made them a model regiment. Their movements were as one man, and I will not admit that even the Guards could have gone through their evolutions with the same, or at least with more precision and soldier like bearing than this regiment to which I have the honour to belong ; and although three regi ments were opposed to us wa were burning to get at them, notwithstanding we had little more than 400 effective bayon&s, for, what with the detach ment at Benares and the sick in hospital, the above number was all we had here. Tho discipline and efficiency of the regiment are well preserved by the gallant officer, Colonel Fenwick, now in com mand, and had it been his lot to take charge of the smell expedition sent to Arrah this catastrophe, I think, would not have happened, because he would have been more cautious. " General-Lloyd had been, I am informed, nearly 50 years in India, and from bodily infirmity is altogether unfit for such a command in such trou blesome times. Surely it is high time for any field officer - Le retire when he requires help to be put on and taken off his horse We are all disgusted with ,him, and vexed beyond measure that he has ]re vented the brave 10th froai proving to the world that with only 400 men they would have licked, and that most effectually, three regiments of in surgent Sepoys. 't We hear that large supplies of troops are coming to our aid. I hope the British Government will bear iu mind the necessity - of keeping up a con t need flow of fresh re g iments for some time to clime, so as to supply the deficiency which sickness will create. It is not the mere sending of 50,000 men that will do in this Presidency alone, unless that number is steadily kept up by an iefusion of healthy men sent oet for souse years to come, to supply the place of invalids sent home and the sick in hospital. This ) believe me, is a most trying ell- Naval and military Intelligence. The following officers have arrived at the Pro visional Battalion, Chatham, for the pnrpose of joining the depot battalions which have been formed, viz.:—Brevet-Major D. G. A. 13 arrock awl Paymaster C. S. Naylor, attached to the staff of the 3d battalion ; Captain Mullett, 23d Royal Welsh Fusileers ; Lieutenant J. E. Waite, 10th Regiment ; and Lieutenant T. Carlisle, 75th Regi ment, Ist battalion. Recruiting for the corps of Royal Marine Light Infantry is actively proceeding, the Lords of the Admiralty having decided on keeping each divi sion up to its full strength. A recruiting party, under the command of Major H. Marriott, has proceeded ham head-quarters, Chatham, to Leeds, and yesterday another party, commanded by Cap tain J. Huskisson, left for Worcester for the pur pose of raising men. The depots of the 23d Welsh Fueilecrs, 24th, 27th Eunisklllens, 29th, 53d, and 84th Regiments have been considerably augmented by the arrival at Chatham yesterday and the day prlvitins of up wards of 100 recruits, for the purpose of joining those regiments. In consequence of the large number of recruits who are daily arriving at Chatham, amounting to upwards of 200 weekly, 'for the purpose of joining the Indian depots at the Provisional Battalion, considerable activity prevails at Chatham barracks in preparing the men for embarcation for India, for the purpose of joining the service companies of their respective regiments. The troops are marched out daily to the lines, whore they are ex ercised for several hours, in addition to which large bod'es of troops, selected from the various depots, are instructed in the use of the Enfield rifle, no non-commissionad offic or private being allowed to embark until he has uudergoee a course of instruction in that weapon. Nineteen officers and 300 men of the 78th Regi ment arrived at Portsmouth yesterday afternoon from the camp at Shorncliffe, to embark in the steamer Ireland for India. The newly-formed second battalion of the 2d Queen's Royals, which left Colche,ter Camp last week for Shorncliffe, consisted of 16 officers, six sergeants, 300 rank and .file (all recruits), 10 wo men, and 14 children. The recruiting for this battalion, awl for the depots of the Rießrigade, continues as actively as ever, and, as a proof of the readiness to enter the army, we may mention that about 500 recruits have joined the Cob hester Camp within a short period, and fresh men are arriving every day from the various provincial towns wly're rcentitin/ Trartttns tit - stationed. i On Saturdly• the Ist depot battalion, consisting of the 4th, 121 h, and 89th depots, left the camp for Shorncliffe, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Wh;t more. The battalion consisted of 3.L officers, 400 men, 87 women, and 165 children, and their de parture will leave the camp entirely iu possession of depots of the Indian regiments, which will be comprised in two divisions, as follows :-11 and 3d battalions Rifle Brigade, 54th, and 56th, Ist and 31 battalions of the 00th Rifles under the com mand of Colonel Dixon ; Ist Royals, 34th, 37th, 83th, 88th, and 97th, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Street. Accounting for the departure and arrival of depots, there remain in camp about 2,100 men, who upon the whole may be said - to be healthy, as ,there is but a small pro portion of invalids in hosp:tal. One death took place last week, that of Colour-Sergeant Wedgeworth, of the 97th, a remarkably fine man, who passed through the Criteean campaign, and was awarded the Legion of Homer for his gallant conduct in the attack on the Redan. The men complain of the inconvenience experieneed during the late heavy rains in consequence of the insufficiency of the present drainage to carry off the surface water from the level of the camp ground, and which chiefly disappears by percolation througu the gravelly sail. The Chesapeake, 51, screw frigate, Commodore Watson, C. 8., was to sail from Shithead lest night for Calcutt s, having received an additional quantity of the munitions of war,in the shape ofshells, which will contain molten iron insteadnf the old fashioned red-hot shot. The Royal Corps of Engineers that were to have embarked in her have been forwarded ovei land. The Perseverance iron steam troop-ship, Com mander M‘Doneld, requires so much refit in her engine department, &c., that her offieers and crew aro ordered to be turned over to the Urgent, a sis ter ship to the Transit. A letter received in Cork on Monday from Cal cutta, dated the Bth of August, states that reinforce ments to the amount of 1,400 had arrived up to that day. The following appeinttnents wore made at the Admiralty yesterday : LieutenantF. S. Thompson, to the Cyclops. Mates—Orford S. Cameron and Thomas W. Simeon, to the Diadem. Paymaster—G H. Wilier, to the Cyclops. Clerk—Warwick Woolridge, to the Valorous. Acting Assistant-Surgeons—Henry Usaher, IL IL Siccarna, Dr. W. Howiaon, and L. Luca, additional to the Victory for Ha.lar Hospital.

A-SIDE, AND THE CHAUFIoNSIIIP.-0a Wednesday evening, the Wenlock Baths, City-road, was numerously attended by admirers of this graceful and manly pastime, to witness the con test for the championship of swimming, between the above-mentioned competitors. Taey acquitted them selves in a manner that was well worthy the high repu a.,ion they 'owl tained. Westron, however, bad the mortification to be defeated by his antagonist in a much easier manner than was thought possible by his parti sans; nevertieless, those who backed him, have the satisfaction of knowing that their man was defeated by the only man who could succeed in vanquishing him. The distance to swim was a quarter of a mile, or eight times the length of the bath. Judges having been ap pointed, the competitors made their appearance on the diving-board, and were warmly applauded. They are fine, well-p-oportioned men—Beckwith being the fa vourit-. On the signal being given, the competitors in stantly sprung from the diving-hoard, and on appearing above the water, Beckwith was found to have taken the lead. Fur two hundred yards of the distance the match was gamely contested on the part of Westron, who un questionably is a fine graceful swimmer; but though he did his utmost, he could not obtain any advantage. Beckwith kept gradually stealing away from him, until Westron, finding he bad no chance of winning, pulled up, and resigned the contest. Beckwith, the now cham pion, is swimming-master at the Westminster Bathe. A FORTRESS TO DEFEND THE SEA OF AzOrT.—The Cologne Gazette mentions that a fortress of the first class is to be built on Mount Mithridates, near Kertch, for the purpose of protecting the entrance to Yenikale.
