TO WHOLESALE STATIONERS AND DFULERA in EN VELOPir.S.—In reference to an advertise ment by Messrs. De La Rue and Co., ti e think it needful to state that almost immediately after tho verdict of the Jury in the action brought against us by them, touching our Patent, we determined to alter our Envelope Machines, by removing such parts as were con sidered to be the points of infringement. These alterations were, of necessity, made gradually, but accom plished without a moment's lois of time, and dually completed on the 19th March last, since which pe iod our manufacture has been confined entirely to our new maninery, so that the injunction ob tained against us bears no reference to our present or future manu facture. .We shall of course retain all envelopes now in our I osse.- eon manufactured by the old 'mantles, until the expiration of Messrs. De La Rue's patent, or until the injunction be dissolved. 2d June, 1857. JOILN DICKSON & CO. Tbirti Ntittion SUN OFFICE, Seven, o'Clock. TATTERSALLS' —(This Evening.)

Yesterday Calthorpe Park, presented condition ally by Lord Calthorpe as a place of public recrea t on to the a-tizans of Birmingham, was formally inaugurated by 11. R. H. the Duke of Cambridge, the mayor of the borough (J. Ratcliff, Esq.), Lord Calthorpe, and other influential noblemen and gentlemen connected with the town and neighbour hood. The day was unusually fine, and observed as a general holiday in the manufactories, for whose inmates the grounds are intended as a place of out door pleasure and amusement. " Calthorpe Park," as it has been designated by the corporation, consists of five meadow fields thrown into one piece of about 30 acres, intersected with gravel walks, and planted, in addition to the old trees, with a variety of c h oice if no t hi g hly va luable shrubs. The surface of the ground is some what flat, but the neighbouring hills of Edgbaston and Moseley, by which it is surrounded, give the seene a picturesque effect. It is situated on the Pershore-road, about a mile and a-half from the centre of the town, and is in all respects admirably suited fur the objects to which it has Leen this day dedicated. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge ar rived at the Great Western Railway station, Snow Hill, at about half-past 12, and after a short stay accompanied the mayor to the Town-hall. Here a large company awaited his attendance. The streets on the line from Snow-hill to Paradise-street were handsomely decorated with banners, and the recep tion of the Duke most enthusiastic. On their arrival at the Town-hall, his royal high ness was entertained to a sumptuous luncheon, at which were present amongst others, the Earl of Shaftesbury, Lord Calthorpe, Lord Leigh, the Bishop of Worcester, Earl Talbot, Lord Ingestre, the Earl of Lichfield, Lord Hatherton, and other parties of local importance. The entertainment being concluded the Comman der-in-Chief proceeded from the ante-room into the hall, and received addresses from the Corporation, the Committee of Small Arms, the Proprietary School, and the Society of Arts. That from the Corporation, as a matter of course, took precedence. The following was read by the town clerk : " TO 'HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE GEORGE FREDERICK WILLIAM CHARLES DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE, KNIGHT OF THE MOST NOBLE ORDER OF 7HE GARTER, THE GENERAL COMMANDING-IN-CHIEF HER MAJESTY'S FORCES. " May it please your Royal Highness—We, the mayor, aldermen, and buriesses of the borough of Birming ham, in the county of Warwick, in council assem bled, approach your royal highness on this auspicious occasion with feelings of the most sincere and earnest attachment not only to your royal person, but to your august and beloved cousin, our sovereign lady Queen Victoria. During the recent campaign in the Crimea, we contemplated, with the deepest interest, the devoted manner in which your royal highness emulated the noble Examples of your gallant ances tors, and we acknowleage the high and just posi tion with which the Queen has been pleased to reward and honour your distinguished services with the utmost pride and satisfaction. We regard with high apprecia tion the improvements commenced by your royal high ness in the administration of the army, which, in our opinion, are calculated alike to •indicate the condition of the soldier and increase the efficiency of the army in the field, and we look to your royal highness for such progressive improvements as will not only secure under Providence the honour of our arms, but gain for your royal highness, as it did for a noble relative now de ceased, the honourable appellation of the soldier's friend. The ready condeseension with which your royal highness accepted the invitation of his worship the mayor for the present occasion assures us that the benevolence of your royal highness is not confined to the army, but it is ex tended to the wide circle of her Majesty's subjects ; and we hail with delight your presence among us this day, to do an act which cannot fail to reflect honour on your name, concerning as it does so intimately the advance ment and improvement of the moral and physical con dition of the industrious classes of the kingdom. In common with the inhabitants of the metropolis and other large towns of the empire, we are conscious of a grow ing and absolute necessity that the toil-worn artisans of our teeming population ehoul I have convenient oppor tunities for recreation in the fresh air; and, by the libe rality and philanthropic spirit of a generous nobleman, we have now the satisfaction of inviting your royal high ness to inaugurate Calthorpe Park for the healthful re creation of the inhabitants of the borough, to whose us• no doubt the presence of your royal highness will contri bute much to induce the noble donor to secure it, if the inhabitants show a due appreciation of the value of the gift. That it may please the Divine Ruler, who pro tected and spared your royal highness amid the per is of the Crimea, lmg to preserve your valuable life among a contented people, blessed by a protracted peace, is our devout and bumble prayer. Given under our corporate common seal this first day of June, in the year of our Lord, 1857." His ROYAL HIGHNESS replied in the following terms :—" Mr. Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of the Borough of Birmingham,—l acknowledge with the deepest gratitude the very flattering ad dress you have pres. riled to me, and I am extremely sensible of the reception I have met with in this important and most interesting borough. The expressions of goodwill towards myself as head or the army are the highest compliment that, as a sol die-, could be paid to me, and it will ever be my earnest endeavour to do justice to the confidence reposed in me by a gracious Sovereign, and thus to merit the good opinion of yourselves and of the country. (Cheers.) But I appear among you to day more in my social position in civil life, anxious by my presence to do honour to a great work judi ciously designed, and, thanks to the liberality of a generous nobleman, sufficiently completed to be inaugurated on the present .occasion. (Cheers.) Undertakings of this description must tend to the improvement and general advancement of all classes of the community ; and it is a gi eat plea sure and happiness to see so many joining in their various ways towards furthering so useful and excellent a design. (Cheers.) May its objet sbe fitly and completely attained, and may they con duee to the happiness of thousands of our fellow countrymen who inhabit the important borough in which we ate now assemb!ed. (Cheers.) The public are indebted to all of you, gentlemen, who have H33i,thd iu this go ;d work, and I am happy to be permitted to congratulate you on the success of such au occasion. Again I thank you for the honour you have done me in asking m > to become your guess, and for th,t loyalty of the sentiments ex pressed in your address towarls her Majesty and her family, and for the warmth of your reception to myself. (Great cheering ) The following address was next read from the Small Alms Committee ; and at the present time after the recent debates in Parliament upon the subject of the Ordnance estimates, it is somewhat inter% sting : TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE GEORGE FREDERICK WILLIAM CHARLES, DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE, KNIGHT OF THE MOST NOBLE ORDER OF THE GARTER, THE GENERAL COMMANDING IN CHIEF HER MAJESTY'S FORCES. " May it please your Royal Highness—On behalf of the military arms trade of Birmingham, I tender to your Royal Highness the expression of our lively sense of the distinguished honour conferred on the town by your auspicious visit, in which we gratefully recognise a kindly interest in the progress and well-being of the manufacturing community of this midland metropolis. In the name al-o of our workmen we desire to express our thanks. We feel peculiar gratification in knowing that the coming amongst us of your Royrl Highness has for :its object the moral elevation and physical improvement of our working men—those men on whose productive industry depends in so large a degree the prosperity of our town. It is our earnest desire as employers we may profit by the encouraging example Waned before us by your Royal Highness in thus re. cognising the liberality of the noble lord to whom this town is already so much indebted. Among the manufacturers of this district few can boast of more connection with the locality than our own. From the time of Wildarn 111., the gunmakers of Bir mingham have very largely contributed by their labours to the efficiency of the army and navy of England, and it has been a source of gratifying pride to nal° have been permitted to render material aid during the pro gress of the late war. We rejoice in the present oppor tunity of expressing to your royal highness our warm at tachment to our beloved Queen, and it also affords us unusual gratification to be able to render this expression of our loyalty to a prince so eminent for the noble qua lities which have ever characterised the Royal family of England, and who, as Commander-in-Chief of her Ma jesty's forces, has so heartily and ably devoted hinaelf to the service of our country and our Queen.—Signed by the authority and on behalf of the Birmingham Small. Arms Manufacturers. (Signed) " J. D. GOODMAN, Chaltman. " Birmingham, Juue 1, 1857." When these presentations were concluded, the duke descended from the dais and proceeded to the mayor's carriage, provided to convey him, his host, and the town-clerk to the park he was appointed to inaugurate. One of the most pleasing features of the proceed ings within the hall was the admirable manner in which the children (charity and Sunday school), 600 in number, gave the National Anthem, under the direction of Mr. E. Heely, and accompanied by Mr. Stempson, the organist of the Town-Hall. On leaving the hall the procesion, which reached to the length of the new street, made its way amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the populace to the New Park. The appearance of the Duke, Lord Cal thorpe, and the " Liberal Mayor," elicited the most euthwiastic cheering. Every street upon the whole line was decorated with banners, and densely crowded with the working classes of the town. The cortege, which. in point of numbers and general as well as popular effect, has never in Birmingham, went from th e T own arrangements, becnexeelled Hall, along New-street, the Bull-ring, Digbeth, Smithfield, Bromsgrove-street, the Bristol-road, ind Speedwell-road, to the Park, where the cere mony of inauguration was performed, as announced, by the Duke of Cambridge. It is calculated that not fewer than 100,000 'perms could have been THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH CABLE We learn that her Majesty's ship Agamemnon left Sheerness at 5 20 a.m. on Friday, for Liver pool, and may therefera be expected here hourly. She has been specially fitted for carrying and lay ing the Atlantic Telegraph cable, and is as w e ll suited for the purpose as if she had been expressly built with that object. Her engines being situated nearer to the stern than is usual enables the cable to be stowed almost amid-ships so as to pres erve the trim of the vessel. A large hold, capable of re ceiving the cable in one coil, of the form which has b< en found by experience to be the beat, has bet n cleared out, and a flooring laid over the kelson. The size of the division of the hold fitted for the cable is about 50 ft. square, and the coil of 1,250 miles of cable will be about 11 ft. high. At present she draws only 19 ft. of water, her armament and superfluous stores having been removed ; when the cable is on board this will be increased to 25 feet. A guard, or cage, of wrought-iron his been placed over the propeller, so as to avoid any chance of the cable getting foul of it. The machinery for paying out the cable, which is being made at Manchester, is of the most complete character, providing for every possible emergency ; the precise strain borne by the cable, the exact amount delivered, the rate at which it is payed off, and other important partculars, being indicated during the whole process. The peculiar arrange ment of the apparatus is such as to provide for every contingency which experience has pointed out as possibl to occur in the paying out of either lieht or heavy cables. Frigates' masts have been fitted to the Agamemnon, in place of the heavier gear usually carried by her, to render her more suitable for the operation. ler engines, which are by Penn, are considered to be equal, if not superior to anything afloat. They are nominally of 800- horse power, but have been worked up to 2,250. This power will not be needed in this case, for it is now to be expected that thC cable will be laid at more than four to five knots per hour. 1,100 miles of the cable have now been completed by Messrs. Newell and Co., at Birkenhead, out of the 1,250 miles to be made there. This is laid in four coils, of abaut 25 feet diameter, and will be shipped in suit able vessels and coiled into the Agamemnon, iu the Sloyne. Much as it is to be regretted that Liver pool has not heed favoured with th e anticipated I visit of the United S'ates' steamer Niagara, origi nally intended to take on board the cable at Birken head, it will be seen from the foregoing that the stelden derangement of the plans previously de signed is not likely to cause delay in carrying out this great enterprise, through the measures which are being so promptly taken by the Government to provide an additional ship to compensate for the very great disappointment which has been so gene rally felt at the p?culiar construction W.. the Niagara unfitting her for this particular service, although so splendid a specimen of naval architecture in other ways. Mr. Chas. Bright, the engineer of this great undertaking, has b.-en in Liverpool during the last week making the necessary arrangements for coding the cable on board of the Agamemnon. She will lie in the Sloyne, in thise quence of her breadth not allowing her to enter the Birkenhead Dock, and the cable will be carried to her in other vessels. Mr. Bight expects that his plans will allow of the Agamemnon leaving here on tile 15th July, to meet the other ships at Cork on the 18th, so that we may expect the cable to be laid in the fist week in August, which is the period of the year most free, on the average, from wind and fog, and therefore best calculated for the com pletion of the undertaking.—Liverpool Albion. A FEMALE IRISH PREACHER-A RIVAL TO MR. SPURGEON. (From tAe Ferinanafill Mail.) A correspondent, in whose truthfulness we can rely, sends us the following ;--cc On passing through the townland of Drumereen, in the neigh bourhood of Ballinamallard, on Sunday, the 21th inst., my attention was attracte 1 by large crowds of very respectably-dressed pe o pl e — young and old—winding their way towards a green field contiguous to the road. Curiosity led me to inquire the nature of such a demonstration, and I was in formed, that a female was to preach there that evening. My curiosity being stilt excited, I ac cordingly waited, and I thank my God, was one of the fortunate spectators on the occasion. Precisely at 4 o'clock in the evening, a young female, whose name I understood to be Elizabeth M‘Kinny, from the neighbourhood of Fintona, in the county of Tyrone, emerged from the house of Mrs. Beatty, who very kindly granted the field on the occasion, and ascended a rustic platform erected for the pur pose, and after the usual preliminaries of singing and prayer, this young female, unadorned with anything but the visible grace of God, quoted her text from the 2d chapter of St. Paul's Epistle r o the Ephesians, and Bth verse—'For by grace are ye saved, through faith, and that not of yourselves ; it is the gift of God'—and there preached to a dis cerning assembly of at least 3,000 persons au elo quent and most impressive discourse, for the space of an hour and a quarter. She had preached ouce before in Ballinamallard Primitive Methodist Chapel, and lectured once in Lowtherstown, within the last six months. It appeared that all persons who could avail themselves of the opportunity, for five or seven miles round the country, were there. I could observe them from the neighbourhood of Tempo, Lisbellaw, Enniskillen, Kesh, and Trillick ; and although the great muttitude was composed of Presbyterians, Protestants, and a very large number of Roman Catholics, yet nothing could exceed the good conduct and becoming de meanour of all parties ; the only breath that could be heard was an occasional burst of thanksgiving to God, and admiration of the visibly Divine inspired preacheress, for I learned she was no other personage than the youngest daughter (about 2d or 22 years of age) of a small farmer in the county I have already mentioned, and only attended anrl preached on this occasion by the special invitation of the Primitive Methodist body in this neighbour hood, amongst whom she is, in a spiritual view, an extraordinary ornament. She was very plainly attired. Her hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes, are almost white, and which, together with a rather pale but a good-featured countenance, give her, on the whole, the appearance of one who had received a commission from on High. I understand she has had very many invitations to preach from different Parts of the country, and even from Scotland. She accepts no earthly fee or reward for her trouble, and states that it is in obedience to an answer to her prayer, about 12 mouths ago, she is thus, prompted to act, This day closesthis p eriod within which English sculptors can send in models for the great monument to the Duke of Wellington. Foreign artistes are allowed to send in up to June 25. The models will be shown to tho public carly is July, 1,014 00 . 1 q , TU ESDAY 14:.*V VNE 62, 186 V present; but in all respects, notwithstanding the immense numbers in attendance, the proceedings were most efficiently condila - a The arrival of the Duke was announced by a discharge of cannon, and he and the mayor, at on ;o proceeded, in eaupany with Lord Calthorpe, to plant the " inauguration treed." The only observation made by the Duke was—" By the permission of the mayor I have now the honour to say that the park is open to the people," and, as might be expected, enthusiastic cheering followed. It is impossible to describe in detail the extraor dinary illustrations and exhibitions of the day, but it may be safely said that, owing greatly to the munificent liberality of Mr. Radcliff, the mayor, and the popularity of the Duke of Cambridge, no fete has ever boen celebrated here with such eclat. The terms upon which Lord Calthorpe assigns the ground as a working man's park may be stated in a few words. So it is given by a contemporary : " If the use which the public make of this ground for the next two summers prove that they really desire a park for the purposes of recreation, I will at once take measures for giving them a long lease of it on merely nominal terms. If, on the contrary, it is not used to anyextent, I will take it for granted that such a park is not required at present, and will reserve to myself the right of either extending the experiment or of keeping the ground wholly under my control." Amongst other gentlemen we noticed present during the day (in addition to tliosa mentioned) were Mr. Adderley, M.P., Mr. Newdegate, Mr. Spooner, M.P., the High-Sheriff and Under-She riffs of Warwickshire, and other influential pariies. The entire expenses of the festivities are paid by Mr. Ratcliff, the mayor, viz., the cost of the open ing of Calthorpe-park--dinner to 214 gentlemen to meet the Duke of Cambridge at Dee's Hotel—a free concert for the people in the Town-ball—and a free ball for the people in the Broad-street Music-hall. To-morrow his Royal Highness will visit the principal manufactories of the town, and before his departure to London will' luncheon with a select party at Dee's Hotel. THE VA T, RIFLE FACTOIIIES. ---~- Mr. asraeli has st Luiped an entirely new ques with tl;e cliarteter of high national import anco. It iy so gave, he says, that it intiA ulti unat,dy, and perhaps speedily, be broaght to &Ana conclusion by the House of Commons It does not concern the repreTientation of the nor the diplomatic rola'ions of the kingdom, nor the dis tribution of power between the two great par:irs, nor the Chinese quarrel, nor the Maynooth Grant, nor Popular Education nor Church-rates. To none of these subjects, notwithstanding its moment and its urgency, is it in any degres related. It arises entirely out of the mmufacture of Small Arms for the use of her Majesty's forces, and even here is independent altogether of any principle involved in the actual equipment of the troops. The question, in short, is not whether our soldiers shall ba armed with new rifles, but where and by whom these rifles shall be made. Our readers will recollect that some time ago a Government factory was established at Enfield for the construction of the new weapon, by which it was evident that the regulation musket must be as soon as possible superseded. This establishment, we were assured in the debate of Friday evening, had not up to March last turned out a single rifle, but it must at any rate have turned out most influ ential model, for "the Enfield rifle"—ein improve ment on the original Minie--•-sis now the title of the British weapon half over the world. However, be this as it may, the factory is evidently obnoxious and abominable in the eyes of the Warwickshire gunmakers, and Mr. Spooner and Mr. Newdegate conveyed the wrath of their constituents to the ears of Government without suffering it to lose muoh in the passage. According to the arming ham manufacturers, this is au establi-limeot main tained out of the taxes to which they themselves contribute for the purpose of damaging their own position by its " competitive" operation. On the side of the Government it was declared that the factory was not "competitive" in the s:rict sense of the word ; that it served particular ends, as was the case in other departments, and that it was of great utility to the public. We think the last of these arguments will be the safest one to rely upon. . It is of no use splitting hairs in attempting to define the precise conditions which would give any establishment a "competitive'' character in its relations io another. In substance, the Warwick shire manufacturers are no doubt right ; indeed, to suppose otherwise would simply be to assume that the wearer cannot tell where the shoe pinches. If the good folks of Birmingham did not feel the pres sure they would certainly not complain of it. Lord Palmerston argues that to prove competition it would be necessary to consider the Enfield estab lishment as working against private factories fur the s tke of better profits, just as opposition shops do. This, of course, is not the case ; but, although the Enfield people may have no design of underselling the Birmingham makers in open market, the latter are undoubtedly kept down in their terms and up in their work through the instrumentality of the former, and this is pre ty much the essence of the petition. At Enfield. the Government authorities can not only investigate with patience and accuracy every successive improvement suggested in the con struction of the rifle, but can determine by their own productions the proper standard of quslity and the fa'r amount of price. The result furnishes an effestive check upon the price and quality ruling in °Vier markets, and the producers for these merlcets are proportionately incensed at an annoyance creatscl —as they urge by way of gravamen—out of the taxes contributed from their own pockets to the ser vice of the State. Moreover, the Government factory is certainly intended to turn out rifl s, an 1, we should hope, in considerable numbers ; it would also, as a matter of course, be appealed to in the first instance for any supplies that were needed, s ) that, if there were rnt a great many rifles required at once, this national shop might monopolise the best part of the custom, and t dee away so much trade from the old manufactuting districts. We do not see, therefore, how it can be denied that the Enfield factory does operate as a " compe titive" establishment in most of the essentials of competition. If it were not for this factory the Birmingham gunsmiths would certainly have more guns to make, and would probably be able to make them at a somewhat less expense and a setnewhat greater profit. But to admit this much is not to admit that the manufacturers in question are en titled to these advantages, or that there is any error of policy in the establishment at Enfield. On the contrary, it appears to result directly from the ar guments employed that the public service gains ina,tet tally by the arrangement, sine-', in so far as the army is supplied from the open trade market, it is supplied better and more cheaply ; and, as Mr. Drummond tersely remarked, " There was one thing which was even more imlort3.nt than commercial and economical principles, and that was that the country should be supplied with the best article." Neither have the manufac turers themselves any true ground of com plaint respecting the employment of public money for the purpo4es referred to. It is nut as gunmakers, but simply as citizens, that they p9ll - to the Imperial Exchequer, and as citizens they have a common interest with all other classes in the objects proposed. If the Enfield factory has really the effect of cheapening the annual vote for " Small Arena," the country at large gets the benefit, and taxes will be so much lighter in Birmingham, as well as everywhere else. The duty of Government is to consider the advantage of the whole nation, not of any particular class, and when all classes thus forego their particular interests the aggregate gain becomes the property of the entire community. All this'is so very plain and rudimentary that it scarcely needs propounding, but Mr. Disraeli and his friends may undoubtedly require to be shown that the conditions on which the argument is based are actually fulfilled—in other words, that the Enfield factory can really take the lead and set the example in the construction of first-rate articles at low prices. Lord Palmerston delivered certain doctrines upon this point in very comprehensive terms. "It was a mistake," he raid, "to suppose that public works of thin description were conducted cn so expensive a plan as to make the articles pro duced more exp:tnsive than could be pureh rsed from the private trader. Take, for exampl-, Lancaster shells. He had seen at Woolwich the manufacture cf those shells, and he found that they were not only better than those!sup plied by the trade, but that they were manufac tured at abont one-third of the price. So it would be in all thing , ." If this is the fact we can only say that "all things" ought to be supplied from Government establishments ; but we confess to considerable doubts in the mat' er, and suspect that his lordshi2 took safer ground when he described the advantages of Enfield as consisting iu a good " standard of quality" and a certain amount of supply. The sum total of the expeaditure upon the Enfield factory is presently tole printed u'idtr a single heading, and then, perhaps, we can arrive at a more accurate estimate on this pint ; but, though Government works may posses superiority in particular respects, they are not usual y distin guished for economy. It was said, with perfect truth, that if the Enfield factory was a competitive establishment as regarded the Birmingham houses, so the national dockyards would be competitive establishments as regarded the shipbuilding trade ; but, though Portsmouth and Plymouth may turn our better men-of-war than the yard s on th e Thames or the Clyde; we doubt if they have much to show on the score of frugality or thzilt. In fact, it would be rather difficult in a Government establishment so to bring every outlay to book .as to get at a true result. To make a long story short, we believe that if all the expenses of the Enfield estAblishment from its very beginning were fairly reckoned, and charged, as they should be, to the account of the weapons now producible from the factory, it would sot be found that the Enfield rifle was exactly a cheap article, or so cheap, in fact, as mi g ht h ave been procured by open contract at first. But we believe also that the pattern at length approvel is of a superior quality, and that the stindard thus obtained is decidedly higher than it would other wise have been. Very possibly, too, if the test of machinery and experithents be set aside as incurred and satisfied once and for all, the actual weapon may now be turned out at less expense than would be involved in a private factory where no such capital had been sunk, and, as a matter of course, the country may as well get the benefit of these facilities, as far as practicable. As a general rule, private enterprise is batter than Government un dettakingq, but there are some cases where the infallibility of supply and the absolute certainty of excellence are of such importance as to counter balance extraordinary expenditure. Among tLese cases the manufacture of small arms for the use of our troops may deserve in some degree to be reckoned, but the experience of the last few years shows that anything like pressure will inevitably distribute the demand, not only over all England, but over foreign countries too.—Times.

In pursuance of a garrison order, which was is sued on Sunday evening at Woolwich, the whole of the officers, nou-commissioned officers, and gun ners of the 12th I , attalion, and 1 officer and 20 non commissioned officers and men from each of the battalions Horse Artillery and field batteries, were paraded in the Riding house at seven o'clock a.m. this morning, to witness the infliction of corporal punishment upon Gunner John Cook, of Captain Gibbon's Q field battery, sth company, 12th batta lion. The pris6ner had been convicted of the charge of stealing a pocket-handkerchief upon the evidence of " a woman of the town," in whose possession the handkerchief had b een found, and who swore that it had been given to her by the prisoner. He received 50 lashes. A repetition of the experiments with Martin's shells was made in Woolwich Marsh on Saturday, over the usual range of 400 and 600 yardg. The shells, filled with the ordinary amount of molten iron, 281 b. each, wen) levelled at a bulkhead, as on the former occasion, and the first shell which struck the object produced the desired effect of speedily igniting. Fourteen similar shells won thrown in succession, some of which pasted com pletely through the bulkhead ; four others fell wide of the mark, and the remainder proved to be as successful as the first. Some additional experiments were likewise tried, the object being to prove the solidity of sundry plates of steel and iron, the former 3 inches in thickness, and the latter 4i inches. The shot em ployed for the test were of cast and wrought iron, and were fired over the u , ual range 400 and 600 yards, from a 68-pounder gun erected on a newly invented dwarf platform. The effect was clearly visible from the first shoe, which passel through the enfre structure. Between 20 and 30 shots were fired with a similar result. Major-General Lord H. Rokeby, K.C.8., will hold the annual inspection of the Chatham division of Royal Marine Light Infantry to. morrow. The following officers have joined the depots of their resp3ctive regiments at the Provisional Bat talion, Chatham—,,apt. F. W.

There were a la,-ge number of ladies present, and the children of the school occupied seats at the end of the roo:n, and attr_cted much attention by their neat and healthy appearance. The CHAIRMAN, in urging the claims of the in stitution on the meeting, dwelt on two features worthy of support— ln Chti-tian character y t which ii t r b e e nd s e o r u e n d d i t p p e r c o u te l i s a t r a of the institution and the management ; and next, the fact that the object of the managers was to pre pare the girls for doinestie duti es , ' to make them good servants, and fit wives for working men. The report, atter expressing gratitude for the favour vouchsafed to the institution during the year, stated that the chaplain reported the progress of the children , in religious instruction and sound scriptural knowledge, as afloat satisfactory. It was trusted that the deep trial of faith wh ch one of the orphans had passed through was not without its blessing in the sympathy and spirit of prayer excited amongst the rest, and the strengthening of the Protestant principles in which they are nur tured. The general sanitary condition of the school was exct 'lent. One of the principal objects of the institution was to train the children in tee knowledge of domestic duties. Twenty-four girls, over 12 years of age, discharge all the duties of the kitchen, the laundry, and the dormi tory.

The cheque-book was handed to the applicant, Mr. Barton having an account at the bank, and from this time a number of forged cheques for various amounts were circulated among the tradespeople having business with Mr. Barton. In each case the, prisoner contrived to get a con siderable amount of change, besides the article pur chased with the cheque, and it was stated that forty of these cheques had been used. The remain der were found in the prisoner's possession when he was apprehended. The prisoner was remanded till Thursday. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—ROBBERY BY A SERVANT. —Henry Pal kett was charged with having stolen a 5/. note and a diamond ring, the property of Mr. John Bradley, 24, Gilbert-street. The prisoner was employed in the house to brush clothes and clean boo ts. On Wednesday last a 5/. note and a diamond ring were mi3sed from Mr. Brad ley's sleeping apartment. Mr. Henry Bradley slid he was living in the same house. From. his daughter's dressing case 24/. had alsl been taken. Gideon. Crocker ' police sergant, said he took the prisoner into custody, after taxing him with the robs eriez. The prisoner admitted the theft, and slid he had taken the 51. note and the ring. He went to the prisoner's lodgings . and found a new watch, a quantity of new clothes, and a concertina. From the prisoner's mother he also got 41., which the pd soner said was the remainder of the money he had s'olen. The prisoner said he had been to the races, and had lost .the rest of the money in betting on the Derby and the Oaks. The prisoner having pleaded guilty, Mr. Beadon sentencelhim to six months' hard labour. CLERICENWELL.—WOMAN BEATlxo:—John Symonds, a wood sawyer, was placed at the bar be f •ra Mr. Conic,. in the custody of Robert Lambert, 135 S, ono of the warrant officers of the court, charged w,th brutally baating ant ill-treating Sala'l Ricketts. Wcea the woman got into the witness-Lox her face seemed one mass of bruises, and almost of every c.)lour. She stated that she lived with the prisoner, and on Monday last, about half-past 8 in the evening, he came home about half-an-hour be fore his usual time, and b3cause his supper was not ready he began to abuse her in the most brutd manner. He knocked her about the head and face el she almost lost the use of her eyes ; but not con tent with this ill-treatment, when she was lyin g on the ground he kicked her once or twice. She had been so ill ever since that it waq not until yes . erday afternoon that she was well enough to apply to this Court. The defendant hal before ill-used her, but not in such a way as she now wag. Robert Lambert, 135 S, said that when he went to serve the warrant he found the defendant in bed drunk. The room was bespattered with bloo lin several placer. He found that the prisoner, his wife, and the complainant all residel together on the same floor. The wife of the prisoner had been ill for some time, and the woman had done the h'Jusehold duties and had also had two children by him. Defendant—We all lived together. The com plainant was in the habit of getting drunk. Mr. Corrie remarked that it was quite shocking to bear of such a state of immorality. How many children were there ? Complainant—l hive two alive by my former husband, and two since I have 'lived with the de fendant. His wife bas been ill for a long time, and I bare lived with tht.m. The prisoner, in defence, said that be hoped his worship would be lenient on account of the illness of his wife, and beause he was the sole support of the cliihlT en. The woman got drunk and spent his money, and that very much aggravated him; and, therefore, having hal a little drink, he certainly did hit her. He was now very sorry, and said that nothing of the sort should occur again. Complainant—l do not; wish to hurt him ; all that I want is for him to keep the peace. Mr. Corrie said that this case was very bad in every point of view. He could not be lenient, but must pass on the defendant such a sen tence as will be a terror to other evil doers. He should send him so the House of Correction, with hard lalymr, for six calendar months. He would allow the woman Bs. per week for one month. He supposed the wife would go to the workhouse. DARING WATCH ROBBERY. —T 0 'll as Ryan, alias Barry, a fashionably-dressed young man, was charged with having stolen a gold watch from Mrs. Maria Brooke, a lady residing in Park-strew, Islington.

While she was telling him, the policeman (who was in private clothes) went up and stopped the prisoner, and asked the lady if she had lost anything ? On finding that she had lost her gold watch, the con stable took it from his hand. Mr. Inspector Judge of the N division, sail th' re were other cases against the pri3oner, and asked for a remand. Mr. Currie remanded the primer until Satur• day. FORTUNE TELLING.--A poor, thinly-clad, and tni , erable-looking female, aged 47, a dressmaker, who gave the name of Sa-alt D:ck4on, residing at 3, Wright's-building, Go,well-street, St. Lake's, was charged with obtaining the sum of 10d., by pretending to tell the fortunes of Ann Flowast and Maly Ann Meadows. It appeared that the two women went to the house of the defendant and pa'd her 6d. and 4d.. which hal been pi eviously marked by a police-con stab'e for the purpose of entrapping her. As soon they left the house, police-constable Thomas Ev:ms 145 G, went and took the defendant into custody with the marked money in her possession. The defendant was committed as a rogue and a vagabond to the House of Correction for one month. SOUTHWARK. —IMPUDENT ROBBERY ON EP SOM RACE-COURSE. —Thomas Jones, a we'l•dressel Young fellow, . was brought More Mr. Combs for final examination, clia.rged with having stolen a gold watch from Mr. Joseph Anderson, residing at 7, Cleveland-square, Hyde park, on Epsom race-course. _ _ The prosecutor stated that on Friday afternoon le was on Epsom race-course to witness The Oaks, and shortly before that race was run he stood along side of the prisoner, close by the ropes near Tat tenham-corner. He then had his watch safe in his waistcoat pocket. Just as the race was over, some one called out to him—" You've lost your watch," and at the same time saw the prisoner seized by two men, and his watch fell to the ground. Wit ness picked up his watch, and when at the police station at the grand sand he handed it to a con stable. He valued his watch at 201. In cross-examination by Mr. Chipperfield, wit ness said he saw the prisoner standing near him for some minutes before he missed his watch, but he did not see the watch in his band. It was twisted from the guard, and the ring was broken off. Wm. Blackman, - 59 V, raid he was on duty on the race-course on the Oaks day, in private clothes, and he stood near the side of the prisoner while that race was being run. As the horses were com ing in, he-saw the prisoner put his hanikerchief to wards the prosecutor's waistcoat, and suspecting his intention, he caught krld of his right hand, and called out to the gentleman, "You have lost; your watch ;" and a moment afterwards he said that he had. Mr. Comber committed the prisoner to the House of Correction for six months, with bard labour. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY BY SERVANTS. —John Hudd and James Rudd, two 3oung men in the employ of Messrs. John and Thomas Wallis, mustard and black lead merchants; No. 20, Duke-street, Lon don-bridge, opposits the railway termini, were charged with - having stolen a large quantity of valuable property belonging to their masters ; and Wm. Beaumont, a general dealer, residing at No. 3, armbridge-road, Mile end, was charged with receiving a portion of the property, knowing it to be stolen. Hun}, a desective officer, said that from instrac• tions he received from Inspector Mackintosh he watched the prosecutors' premises on Saturday morning, and about 11 o'clock he saw John H u dd loading a - buck outside the door. While doing so he saw Beaumont about 30 yards from Joiners'- street, whistling to him and beckonin g. J o h n R udd then looked round, and went inside, when Beau mont walked away down Joiners'-street. At 20 minutes to one the two Hudds were loading the truck with what appeared to be empty mk s . Wit.

Beaumont then left him, and went to the truck in Dean s t ree t, w h ere it had been removed, end witness saw him take two parcels in brown paper from one of the casks, with which ho walked away. Witness took him to the prosecutor's pre mises, when all the prisoners were given into mg' tody. Mr. Drysdale, the manager of the firm, identified the property produced ; and added, that they had been robbed lately to a serious extent, which caused them to call in the police to detect the delinquents. Mr. Combe remanded the prisoners., LAMBETH. —BURGLARY AND ROBBERY. Cornelius Hagarty was charged with burglarionsbr breaking into the dwelling house of Miss E. Crow, 13, Crosby-row, Wal worth-road, and stealing there from three shawls and other valuable articles. Elizabeth Crow deposed that her shop had been entered the night before, and a quantity of goods carried away, and amongst them those produced. The thieves had obtained an entrance into the shop by removing a portion of a skylight over it, and then loweringthemselves by a rope, andthey seemed to have taken away the property the same way. The prisoner, upon whom part of the property was found, was remanded. THAMES.—DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—W. Shannon, a young man who is well known to the police, was brought before Mr. Yardley on a charge of assault and highway robbery. It appeared that Mr. Cornelius Deloy, a boot maker, living at 29, Bated's building 4, Upper East Smithfield, was passing along Rateliff-highwah opposite Ship-alley, on Saturday evening, when the prisoner suddenly accosted him, struck him, and, while he was staggering from the effects of the blow, the prisoner snatched his watch from his waistcoat pocket, and broke the chain in doing so. The prisoner immediately ran off with the watch, and was pursued by the prosecutor and taken into custody. He was c3namitted for trial. THE 81,032 LAY HURST MURDER. Since the committal a George Jackson and Charles Brown, charged with the murder of Mr. W. Ctiarlesworth, both the prisoners have made confessions. That of -G. Jackson is as follows "I went to the Coach and Horses on Friday night, and was looking at them bowling, and they made me make one. This young man was then in the house. I sat in the house on the contrary side to Mr. Bamford. Mr. Bamford and Mr. Charlesworth were quarrelling, and I listened to them. John Cresswell (called 'Dulcimer Jack') and Brown were making a bargain Cr go and frighten Cbarleswo:th. Cresswell said, ' I'll go and put anoth-r jacket on, so that he won't know me ;' and when against Mr. Fitchett's hedge he said, ' You must not say ant thing, we shall have something to-night.' He said to me and C. Brown, Go on after him, and follow him, and lay hold of him, and I'll follow.' I felt very tipsy, and me and Brown went on, and I was' going on and Brown sa'd, Oh come on, we shad have some money to-night.' I was th at ti psy I did not know what I was doing. I pulled a stake out of the hedge as I was going along, and Mr. Charles' worth asked me where I was going, and I told bin' I was going along the road, and he catched me 3 stroke with bis stick. He said, " I know you are after me ; .you mean to rob me."
