The 68th Regiment, quartered at Portsmouth, and the 69th, will be the next regiments sent to India. The 68th will bo presented with new colours on the sth on Southsea-common, weather permit -44 1 1 ting. The Diadem, 32, screw corvette, Capt. Moorsom, is to be submitted to a new series of mechanical experiments, with the view of developing her steam power, her speed being at present very unsatisfac tory. An order was yesterday received at Chatham from the War-office, by the officer commanding the 3d battalion, directing the reinforcements for the 60th Rifles to be held in readiness to embark for Madras, for the purpose of joining the head-quar ters of their corps. The officers ordered to proceed to India in charge of the reinforcements are Ensign W. L. K. Ogilvy and Ensign H. St. George Burton, 3d Battalion 60th Rifles. Yesterday an inspection of the whole of the troops belonging to the several Indian depots at Chatham took place, with the view of returns being made to the War-office of the number of non-commissioned officers and men fit for service in India. The troops belonging to the West India regiments who are now attached to the 2d Battalion at Chat ham have been directed to proceed to Southampton, where they will embark to join the head-quarters of their respective regiments in the West Indies. About 50 young men have recently joined the bead-quarters of the Royal Engineers at Bromp toa-barracks, the whole of whom are skilled arti sans, and will prove a valuable addition to that branch of the service. On inquiry at the Admiralty, War Department, and other offices, it has been ascertained that no accounts of damage to the Hydaspes have been re ceived, and there is reason to believe that no foun dation exists for the report respecting this ship which appeared in a morning paper yesterday. The Spartan, 20, Capt. Sir Win. Hoste, which arrived at Plymouth on Sunday, has been in com mission five years and a-half, during which time she has seen much service. She left England in July, 1852, and arrived at Rangoon during the war in Burmah, January, 1853. Thence she pro ceeded to Hong Kong, Sir W. Hosts having been appointed senior officer on the coast of China ; she remained until August of that year, and while there her boats were constantly employed in the suppres sion of piracy. In August she was sent as senior officer's ship to Shanghai, that place being at the time in possession of the rebels. Her officers and crew were landed and performed garrison duty for the protection of the foreign settlements for six months. She was docked at Whampea in Feb., 1854, and then proceeded to Singapore, returning to Hong Kong in May, when Sir Wm. Hosts was again appointed senior officer in China. During the summer her boats were cons tan tly and most success fully employed in the destruction of pirates. Her Senior Lieutenant Pallisser was promoted for his coaduct in a gallant affair against a large piratical force in the island of Tylo. In January, 1855, she proceeded as senior officers' ship to the Canton river, and during the disturbances between the Imperial Government was of much service in the protection of British interests. In March she was despatched to cruise off the Kurile Islands, and remained there and in the Sea of Okhotsk, the Gulf of Tartary, and the coast of Eastern Siberia until the end of October. She then returned to Hong Kong, visiting on her way down the prin cipal ports of Japan. Iu November, 1855, she left Singapore, her gallant captain having been again appointed senior in the straits of Malacca. The Spartan was actively employed cruising, in the straits and on the coast of Borneo for the pro tection of British interests and the suppression of piracy until July last, when she left for England. Her crew have been comparatively healthy, con sidering her lengthened service in the Indian seas During her commission she has sailed upwards of 70,000 miles, and brings forward 47 invalids from the squadrons in China and on the coast of Africa, of whom five died on the passage. A couple of Trotman s patent wrought-iron anchors forged at Liverpool, have been received at Woolwich, weighing nearly seven tons cash, and one was yesterday subjected to a trial-proof under the ordinary testing apparatus in the dockyard. The proof commenced with a pressure of 20 tons, and the committee of naval authorities who were present to verify the proceedings resolved to apply a graduated strain up to 100 tons. No indication of weakness was observable until the pressure amounted to 94 tons, but then the scarf of the crown gave way with a sudden crack, which on ex amination was found to proceed from a separation of the welded iron immediately beneath the pivot on which the crown of the anchor works to and fro. The committee attributed the failure to imperfect workmanship alone. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty : Commanders—Thomas Davies, G.W. Tommy, James Bull, T. L. Gaussen, and W. Mould to the Coast Guard. Lieutenant—Louis de la Chevois to the Recruit. Mates—Francis Durrant to the Spitfire; E. P. Pocock and W. R. Kerr to the Permian ; Frederick H.

Hastings Dant to the.Valorons. The reader is perhaps aware that Mr. Charles Dickens and his friend Mr. Wilkie Collins, have THE MILITIA. Yesterday the Tower Hamlets (King's Own) Regiment of Militia assembled at Hackney for em bodiment. This regiment is noarly 600 strong, and there were few absentees at roll-call. It is stated that the officers and men have volunteered for ser vice in any part of her Majesty's dominions. The 2d West York Light Infantry, under the command of Col. Smyth, M.P., are to assemble at York on the 9th inst. for embodiment. lately visited Lancaster, and during their sojourn, stopped ai Mr. Sly's, King's Arms Hotel. In the Oct. number of Household Words, under the title of " The Lazy Tour of Two Idle Apprentices," Mr. Dickens presents his readers with a remarkable story of a Bridal Chamber, from whence the follow- ing extracts are taken : " I have heard that there is a good old inn at Lancaster, established in a good old house ; an inn where they give you bride-cake every day after din ner, said Thomas Idle. Let us eat bride-cake without the trouble of being married, or of knowing anybody in that ridiculous dilemma.' Mr. Good child, with a lover's sigh, assented. They departed from the station in a violent hurry (for which, it is unnecessary to observe, there is not the least occa sion), and were delivered at the fine old house at Lancaster on the same night. Mr. Goodchild con cedes Lancaster to be a pleasant place, a place dropped in the midst of a charming landscape, a place with a fine ancient fragment of a ca s tle, a place of lovely walks, a place possessing staid old houses, richly fitted with old Honduras mahogany, which has grown so dark with time, that it seems to have got something of a mirror-quality in itself, and to show the visitor, in the depths of its grain, through all its polish, the hue of the wretched slaves who groaned long ago under old Lancaster merchants. And Mr. Goodchild adds that the stones of Lan caster do sometimes whisper, even yet, of rich men passed away—upon whose prosperity some of these old doorways frowned sullen in the brightest wea ther—that their slave-gains turned to curses, as Arabian Wizard's money turned to leaves, and that no good ever came of it, even unto the third au d fourth generations, until it was wasted and gone. It was a gallant sight to behold the Sunday procession of the Lancaster elders to church—all in black, and looking fearfully like a funeral without the body—under the escort of three Beadles. ' Think, said Francis as he stood at the inn window admiring, of being taken to the sacred edifice by three beadles I I have, in my early time, been taken out of it by one beadle • but, to be taken into it by . three, 0 Thomas, is a distinction I shall never en joy !" He visits the Lunatic Asylum on the moor, for example, and says of it that it is "an immense place, admirable offices, very good arrangements, very good attendants ; altogether a remarkable place," which, without the help of any imaginary aid at all, tells in a few words the truth of one of the best conducted establishments in the kingdom. The two apprentices meet together in the good old inn—and then we are led away into the strange story which the author has contrived to weave out of a two days' residence at the house of our enterprising neighbour Mr. Sly. Mr. Goodchild, one of the ap prentices, has just finished a brief description of an incideut that fell under his observation at the asylum, and the tale thus proceeds : Mr. Idle diverting the conversation to grouse, custards, and bride cake, Mr. Goodchild followed in the same direction. The bride-cake was as bilious and indigestible as if a real Bride had cut it, and the dinner it completed w.is an admirable per formance. THE REPORTED LOSS OR THE H YDASPES STEAMER. The house was a genuine old house of a very quaint description, teeming with old carvings, and beams, and panels, and having an excellent old staircase, with a gallery or upper staircase, cut off from it by a curious fence-work of old oak, or of the old Honduras mahogany wood. It was, and is, and will be, for many a long year to come, a remarkably picturesque house ; and a certain grave mystery lurking in the depth of old mahogany panels, as if they were so many pools of dark water—such, indeed, as they bad been much among when they were trees—gave it a very mysterious character after nightfall. When Mr. Goodchild and Mr. Idle had first alighted at the door, and stepped into the sombre, handsome old hall, they had been received by half a-dozen noiseless old men in black, all dressed ex actly alike, who glided up the stairs with the obliging landlord and waiter—but without appear ing to get into their way, or to mind whether they did or no—and who had filed off to the right and left on the old staircase, as the guests entered their sitting-room. It was then broad, bright day. But, Mr. Goodcbild had said, when their door was shut, " Who on earth are those old men I" And after wards, both on going out and coming in, he had noticed that there were no old men to be seen. SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY. Rumours having been industriously circulated, both in London and this port, and given great pro minence to in two morning journals of to-day, of the loss of the screw s t eams hi p H y d aspes; on her way to India with troops, every inquiry has been made to ascertain whether they have any foundation in fact, but nothing can be discovered to give the rumours in question the slightest confirmation. The agents of the company to which the Hydaspes belongs, Messrs. Croskey and Co., have set an inquiry on foot and believe the story to be entirely groundless. It was stated that the intelligence was received by the Admiralty last night, but we understand that no such report has reached that body. The Hydaspes left England on the 19th ult., and not on the 27th, as stated in one of the papers referred to. Her safe arrival at St. Vinceas has been repor red. Subjoined is the latest communication received from the com mander of the Hydaspes, with au extract from her log, from which it will be seen that everything was proceeding satisfactorily up to the time the vessel was last heard of : Neither had the old men, or any one of the old men re-appeared since. The two friends had passed a night iu the house, but had seen nothing more of the old men. Mr. Goodchild, in rambling about it, had looked along passages, and glanced in at door ways, but had encountered no old men ; neither did it appear that any old men were, by any member of the establishment, missed or expected. Night had come again, and they had been writ ing for two or three hours ; writing, in short, a portion of the lazy notes from which these lszy sheets are taken. They had left off writing, and glasses were on the table between them. The house was closed and quiet, and the town was quiet. Around the head of Thomas Idle, as he lay upon his sofa, hovered light wreaths of fragrant smoke. The temples of Francis Goodchild, as he leaned back iu his chair, with his two hands clasped behind his head, and his legs crossed, were similarly decorated. They had been discussing several idle subjects of speculation, not omitting the strange old men, and were still so occupied, when Mr. Goodchild abruptly changed his attitude to wind up his watch. They were just becoming drowsy enough to be stopped in their talk by any such light check. Thomas Idle, who was speaking at the moment, paused and said, "How goes it t" "One," said Goodchild. As if he had ordered one old man, and the order were promptly executed (truly, all orders were so, in that excellent hotel), the door opened, and one old man stood there. He did not come in, but stood with the door in his hand. " One of the six, Tom, at last 1" said Mr. Good child, in a surprised whisper,—" Sir, your plea sure 1" " Sir, your pleased?" said the one old man. " I didn't ring." "The Bell did," said the One old man. For the remainder of the story of a Bridal Cham ber, we refer our readers to the popular periodical in which it originally appeared.—Lancaster Gazette.

NEW MUSIC. John Brown ; Poetry and Music by Charles Mackay. The .North Carolina Rose ; by W. H. Montgomery. English Vocal Duets.—" Musical Bouquet" Office, High Holborn. The reading public has already welcomed "John Brown" to their firesides ; and the musical public will be glad to learn that the said John Brown now appears garbed in round and flowing melody. There i s muc h o f the hearty old English school in the style of the air, and we can pronounce the song to be a genial production, in every way worthy of its talented author. The " North Carolina Rose " forms an agree able addition to our stock of ni gger melodies. Simple harmony marks it through solo and chorus, which, with the aid of a few chords on the piano or guitar, yields a pleasing effect. The Vocal English Duets are " got up" in a manner which reflects the highest credit on the proprietors of the "Musical Bouquet." To possess the good and beautiful music of such works ai "I know a bank," "When ali ale farm we keep," "Time has not thinned my Flowing Hair," "All's Well," and numerous others of the same order, at the rate of a few pence each, is a great boon to lovers of sweet sounds. Indeed, the whole of the music issued from this office is of a most excellent class, comprising the productions of the first masters, ancient and modern, and presented to the public accurate in s ubstance, elegant in form, and cheap in price. THE MAGAZINES. Colburn's New Monthly.—There is a story by the author of "Ashley," called "The Pines." It is a continuation of the tale commenced last month, but it is so arranged that it will interest one who has not read its predecessor. This is an ingenious contrivance of this clever author, as strangers taking up the magazine are not puzzled to make out the antecedents of a narrative. A. sensible article is met with on the subject of "Demoralising French Literature." It refers to a work by Eugene Poitoux on the topic. It is a question that ought to be considered, as it is one of great importance, and the reflections here made are very salutary. ones. " Our Sermon" is an admirable contribu tion, by E. Itowsell, on some affecting incidents that occurred at the massacre of Cawnpore. " Our Contemporaries" is an interesting sketch of the history of the "Press" of the present day, founded on a recent French work. It contains a useful sum mary of general information, and its tone is alike removed from flattery or prejudice. " The Baths of Lucca," and " The Swedish Voyage round the World," are continued ; and the Eastern crisis is considered in a poem possessing the solemn title of "India's Dark Hour." The Mechanics' Magazine.—This excellent serial progresses with vigour. It is of a more scientific character than any other of its class, and one of its distinguishing features is the scientific nature of the articles and correspondence, many of which would be as interesting to the amateur as to the practical man of business. It is a clear proof of the advance ment of scientific knowledge when a publication of this kind is regularly issued at so low a price. We trust it will continue to meat with the public en couragement it merits, Knight's English Cyclopcedia. and Evans. Part 57. Bradbury The excellent biography of this Cyclopotdia is drawing to a close, and will, when completed, ba one of the most compendious and extensive in the language. The introduction of living persons, and of all the celebrities of antiquity prevents any omission of importance, and as a work of reference it will be invaluable. The biographies are usually written with moderation and fairness. A Popular Hislory of England, By Charles Knight.. i3radbury and Evans.... The twenty-third part of this useful history brings ue down to the troubled times of Charles I. The woodcuts are numerous and of a superior kind. Among them is a portrait of Henrietta Maria, from Vandyke. The Law Magazine and Review. Butterworth. This valuable and interesting Quarterly has several topics of interest in this number. It occu pies a high place in serial literature, and it proposes a worthy object—the improvement of the law. It discusses all subjects connected with legal reform in a clear and sensible manner, and takes into con sideration everything relating to law and jurispru dence that has occurred during the quarter. It is not, however, a work that only one versed in legal knowledge and technicalities would care to peruse ; all who take an interest in this important branch of government will find something to engage their at , ention, and it is wri:ten with simplicity and con ciseness that adapt it to the general reader. The opening paper is a very interesting memoir of the late Lord Truro, which traces the progress of the attorney's son from his entrance at St. Paul's school to the woolsack. In conclusion, the follow , ing moral is drawn from his proSperous career : "It is, however, to the moral energies and th e intel lectual triumphs f the late Lord Truro that we venture to call the attention of all who are commencing their professional career. To the young lawyer the life and character which we have attempted to delineate ought to be welcome and profitable. We would have this simple narrative to serve a much higher purpose than the grati ficatien of curiosity. It is a trite piece of commonplace b , say, that while none can command success in life, all may deserve it, 'and into its truth we need not enter ; but the consideration of Lord Truro's career should act as an incentive to a wise, snarly course in the pursuit of the Business of Life. Far be it from us either to sug gest to ambitious attorneys or their clerks, to quit their calling under a vain impression that, by so doing, they could emulate the career of Lord Truro. Unfortunately his success did excite for a short time a migration of persons to the Bar, unqualified for that position, and who, sowing in assurance, only reaped disappointment, and who seemed to suppose, moreover, because elegance and refinement were not the particular attributes of a man rich in many great qualities, that ignorance and vulgarity were very available and proper capital for them to depend upon, with a view of becoming eminent in their profession. "Few can hope, even in this free country, to reach the honours and dignities which the subject of these re marks so meritoriously won ; but every student of the law, if endowed with health and power of endurance, can read the lesson and follow the examples of patient industry and perseverance which have been left for our instruction and imitation. "'The longer I live,' said T. Fowell Buxton, 'the more I am certain that the greatdifference between men, between the feeble and the powerful, the great and the insignificant, is energy—invincible determination, a pur ; pose once fixed, and then death, or victory. That quality, added he, ' will do any thing that can be done in this world, and no talents, no circumstances, no opportuni ties, will make a two-legged creature a man without it.' Lord Truro, indeed, did botb wisely fix his purpose and worthily work it out. He who exhibits, as Lor6 Trnro did, intellectual and moral energy, !should awaken kindred energies in those whom he leaves behind still struggling in the battle of life. Such a story as his may well bethe touch-spring of great power, and give an impulse to noble faculties, to kindling thoughts and aspirations, which, like the undying fire of Persian superstition, will quicken and illuminate many future generations." A lengthy article on the trial of Madeline Smith takes into consideration the peculiarities of evi dence in Scotch courts. Another article, conspi cuous for its length, is founded on Mr. filliams' "Letters to John Bull, Esq., on Lawyers and Law Reform." An interesting paper on the Birming ham Association gives a summary of the proceed ings, and highly eulogises the objects of the meet ing. The Art Journal.—This serial maintains its character as an artistic magazine. Two of the chief plates ara from the Royal collection—" The Beauty of Albano," by A. Riedel, and " The Gale of the Seraglio," Constantinople, by F. Danby, A.R.A. The third engraving of Vox Hayer's statute of Pysoho, in the possession of the Queen. Among the literary contents the most remarkable are "The Book of the Thames," by Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Hall, " The Water Colour Department of the Art Treasures Exhibition," the thirtieth number of the series on "British Artists," and a paper 011 " Botany," as adapted to the Arts and Art facture. This elegant and tasteful publicMation should be in the possession of all lovers of Art. MISCELLANEOUS.

A paper on "Soldiers' Homes," and another on ~ Ramsgate," will repay perusal. —The Eclectic Review opens with an interesting subject, "The Early Flemish Painters," especially those of " the ancient town of Bruges." The remainder of the contents offer a pleasing variety. " Hindoo Caste" and "American Democracy," "Ancient Husbandry" and the modern systems of irrigation, " Life in Australia," and "Foreign Literature" are among them, containing some attraction for most readers. ' We are glad to see this clever review has abandoned its more controversial and didactic style for one suited to the general reader ; that is to say, without changing its principles, it no longer restricts itse lt to discussing them.—The National Miscellany _hrass two tales by popular writers, " Eben," by__ .. .At i.

Among the remaining contents we must mention a pretty fairy tale, called " The First Floor and the Sixth Floor."—The Train would be more agreeable if it did not aim at being so enter ! taming. Nothing is more difficult than to provide a good collection of humorous articles. Those in the Train are not below the average, and, there ! fore, those who like this style may not find the re petition tedious.—The Irish Metropolitan Maga zine has its usual variety of contents, without any special attraction. A ghastly " Tale of the Morgue" will please the lovers of the horrible. --Newton's London Journal has its usual list of ' patents and improvements, scientific notices, (1;c. The introductory paper is on the " Art Treasures' Exhibition."—Le Follet, in addition to its usual fashions, has a plate of winter walking costumes. —The serials of "Ask Mamma," and " Paved with Gold," are continued in their usual style. They form a good contrast ; the one a humourous record of a sportsman's adventures ; the other, a glimpse of the darker realities of life, " the romance of the London streets." The illustra trations to both are excellent, as the names of John Leech and Hablot Browne testify. ROYAL SURREY GARDENS. Yesterday afternoon the adjourned meeting of share holders in this undertaking was held at the King's Arms, Westminster Mr. Holmes in the chair— to receive the report of the committee of investigation appointed on a former day. The report, which was a very lengthened document, condemned the conduct of the directors. It was then moved that tSe report be received and entered en the minutes, and that it be printed and circulated amongst the shareholders. An amendment was moved as follows :—"That inasmuch as the continuance of the difference between the directors and certain shareholders is damaging to the prosperity and injurious to the inte rests of the company, and as four additional direc tors have been added to the board, making seven directors in the whole, that the present directors for the company, viz., Messrs. Bain, Coppock, I Holmes, Johnson, Land, Lee, and Todd, be requested to make such provisional arrangements with the creditors of the company, and for letting the gardens, an they may deem expedient, and that they be re quested to report the result to an extraordinary general meeting to be called for the purpose as early as conve nient. Mr. COPPOCIE said that if Mr. Coombe, or any other competent person, would pledge themselves to pay the amount at which the gardens were valued, he would illingly refer the matter to arbitration ; but as it was, there was nothing to refer, becau.e be had never had a single penny from the concern. He had a great stake in the matter, and had been a great loser, and he was not going to be driven out by the noise and clamour of per- sons who only represented one share. He cautioned the shareholders that the mortgagees might come in and sell in a few days, if some arrangement were not come to. As to the value of the gardens, he had contracts for their sale from 14,0001. to 20,0001. He considered that they would all have their money if they chose to work with unanimity, and they should have their money before he touched any, but he would not be bullied by men whom. he despised. He promised them that he would do all in his power to help them in getting their money, and therefore he supported the amendment. The amendment on a show of hands was lost, on which the directors demanded a poll. It was ultimately arranged that the poll should be taken on that day week, in accordance with the terms of the deed, and at the Gardens from 3 to 6 o'clock in the after- noon. A motion for the removal of Messrs. Coppook, Bain, and Holmes from the direction was carried, on which a ballot was demanded and granted, at the same time and place as the other. The meeting, which was of a stormy character throughout, terminated shortly before six o'clock. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.) LONDON, Nov. 3.—Wind this day at noon, S.; light breeze and cloudy.

BOTTLE WASHED ASHORE.—A pint bottle, found wa-bed ashore on some bare rocks under Whitbnry Point, on the pr:perty of the Earl of Haddington, was forwarded by his lordship on Thursday to the American Consul at Leith. The bottle was sealed with wax, arid over the cork was a slip of parchment fastened with wax, bearing the words—" Washington, 16th June, 1857." Enclosed in the bottle, on a small slip of paper, like a leaf torn from a memorandum-book, was the following : —"Lat. 42 deg. 26 mm. N., long. 37 deg. 12 min. Ship Washington, of New York, 2,157 tons burden. J. E. Judkins, commander. Caught in a hurricane. Laden with cotton. Abandoned. Just going down. Crew and officers, 68 in all, taking to the boats. God help and pity us all. Amen." The latitude and longi tude given here are from a spot in the middle of the atlantic, so that, if the document be authentic, it must have travelled round either the northern or southern coast i , Ao the German Ocean, to be landed on the shores of the Firth of Forth.
