The battalion of Royal Marines at Woolwich was on
Wednesday morning last paraded in the Barrack-square
to witness the presentation of badges "for good shoot-
ing," 30 of which were delivered personally, and 45
were ordered to be forwarded to men on board various
ships on duty. The badges entitle the recipient, to •
reward of Id., 2d., and 3d. perday for one year, accord-
ing to their @Unification. Clause No. 14 of the
Admiralty regulations specifies that "men embarked
and being on foreign stations, or detached from head-
quarters, under any circumstances, so as to prevent the
annual course of practice being proceeded with, arc
permitted to wear and retain their badges of distinction
until an opportunity shall occur of their being chal-
lenged by another course of practice."
In pursuance of arrangements between tl e authorities
at the Horse Guards amf the Admiralty, the 36th Regi-
ment, stationed in the Raglan Barracks, Devonport,
were exercised in embarcation and disainbarcation on
Tuesday last. Headed by their splendid band they left
their quarters in heavy marching order at 1 o'clock, took
boat at Keyhaui Steam-yard, and went on board the SO
gun ship Clarence. lying in ordinary of St. John's Lake,
in Hanlon.. Here all the necesmay arrangement* for
proceeding to sea were executed. they then left the
boats in two divisions for the point of attack, Creinhill
Beach, Mount Edgcuwbe. A party of seamen gunners
from the Cambridge first jumped ashore on each flank,
and, by skirmishing, protected the beach for the soldiers,
who all lauded in the space of two minutes. They re-
einbarked in four minutes, and formed a single line of
boats, which extended up and down the harbour towards
Mount Wise. On the call of the bugle to "disperse"
they immediately separated in four divisions, one of which
landed at Mount Wire, one at Mutton Cove, the other
two at the Royal William Victualling-yard and Stone-
house-steps. All the regiment was back at their quar-
ters, dismissed, and accoutrements off before 4 o'clock,
having been absent three hours only from the barracks.
The 36th was under the immediate command of Colonel
Horte. Captain Jerninghain, of the Cambridge, regu-
lated the operations in the boats, and Captain Stewart,
CAL, of the fiag-ship Impregnable, superintended the
arrangements on board the Clarence. Tim boats (a)
were supplied by the Impregnable, the Royal William,
the Cambridge, the Emerald, and other ships fitting out.
Being gathered without much notice, this first experi-
ment at Plymouth appears very creditable.

of the proposed alterations in the plans for building
on the Wollaston estate, which were agitated from

EXTRAORDINARY ROBRIRT. —Oll Saturday week
a most mysterious and extraordinary theft of money
was perpetrated at the foundry of Mr. Samson, on
the West-road. it appears that about £lO was alp
stracted from the pay office, by some person un-
known, consisting of gold and silver. The thief
must have been acquainted with the premises, it is
believed, as the robbery was committed during •
very short interval, in which Mr. Samson, jun., was
going round to ascertain the men's time, and he was
pure that previous to leaving the wages' money,
which be had counted, quite safe, the door being
bolted and otherwise secured, no apparent means
were left for the ingress of any person. However, it
would appear that some one must have secreted him-
self in the pay office previous to Mr. Ransom, jun.,
going his rounds among the men, as the casement of
a window was afterwards found unfastened, and
also the back door unbolted, by means of which the
amount left for the payment of the men's wages was
abstracted, and about half • ton of castings were re-
moved from the premises at the same time:
AHRZRSWILL.—On Tuesday last. Master Alfred

caused the gun to go off, when the contents passed
through the muscles of his arm, above the elbow.
Mr. Barns (in the absence of Mr. F. Scott), was
speedily on the spot, and rendered every assistance.

The last quarterly return a 1839 presents satisfactory
results. The country has recovered from the depression
of 1858. The marriage rate, which had been low in the
two previous years, approached the average. A great
number of children in excess of the average were born ;
and notwithstanding the severe weather, the mortality
was nearly at the usual rate in the last quarter of the
year..

The accounts of the year 1859 are now inade up, and
they show in aatimfaetory contrist an increme in the

OAS IIIiABURTS.

The Council first proceeded to consider the ex-
pediency of adopting the Act relative to the mea-
sures used in regard to the gas consumed in the borough
—the question being, whether the Council should
adopt the Act for themselves, or whether the matter
should be suffered to drop into the hands of the
county magistrates. Mr. Loci moved that the Act
be adopted. A long conversation arose as to the
expense of the measures contemplated by the Act.
Mr. Hisaor seconded the motion, and thought the
Act made the adoption compulsory in county towns,
which he had, however, been told applied only to
towns which were counties of themselves. He said
the Council was at all eventa perfectly safe in
adopting the Act; as to ulterior steps he could say
nothing: with regard to expense, they would have
to pay their proportion of the county rate for the
application of the Act to the borough, which would
no doubt be small. Mr. GALPIN would support
the adoption of the Act, but in the absence of a
good understanding of the matter, wished that it should
remain a dead letter; and that, he thought, was
the best course, if it were possible. Mr. STANvoN
thought as regarded the town and the gas company,
the adoption of the Act would be a very good thing,
as setting matters right between them, seeing that
the lighting was very defective and unsatisfactory.
The motion that the Act be adopted was ultimately
put and carried.

YIN•NCI COMMITTILI.

The report of this committee was read by the
Clerk, and, on the motion of Mr. ENSOR, seconded
by Mr. Faouli, it was ordered to be received and
adopted.

Tll6 BOROUGH LOCK-UP.

A letter from Colonel Cox was referred to in which
he expressed a %lib to surrender the borough lock-
up, for wbich he had paid .ClO a-year from 11357-
There was a question as to the termination of the
tenancy, but ultimately it was agreed to allow the
Superintendent to relinquish the premises.

TZRA'

A proposed alteration of Mr. Haruifurd's premises,
whereby a small encroachment was to be made upon
the soil of the Council, brought on • conversation as
to the sixpences and shillings paid for this accommo•
dation—Mr. Coombe being of opinion that where,
as in theme aims the town was improved by them

alterations, and no detrement whatever done to the I
property of the town, these fees should be abolished.
Mr. Gsteix urged that the Council should he con-
sistent in what they did in this respect, and either
persevere in these charges in every caw, or totally
abolish them. Mr. MANYILLD said that for many
years it hail been considered right that some acknow-
ledgment should be made to the Council of the en-
croachment niade upon the moil of the Council, and
in accordance with that principle the charges had
been made and ought in his opinion to be continued.
Mr. Homes and others were of the same opinion,
and it was agreed that the usual fee should be paid
in the present case, asheretofore.

A BOAT ACCIDENT AT A BIEDIZE.—The weather on
Monday morning at Aberdeen being far bled violent than
for • day or two back. • oonsiderable number of white
fishers went to sea, and pursued their work successfully
till about mid-day, when they prepared to enter the
herbour again. Suddenly, however, a gale sprang up,
and just as the boatewere entering the bar they were
met with what is known among the fishers as a " fresh
water lump," and one of the boats with screw of six was
swamped. Fortunately, a companion boat was pretty
near, and all the fishers, with the exception of an elderly
man named Alexander Walker, were saved. It was
Impossible, however, to save Walker, and the grief for
his lose was augmented in an hour afterwara when
another boat, in making for the harbour, suddenly
capsized, and her crew, six in number, were pitched into
the sea. The scene at this time on the pier was most
lamentable. The " Square," where the fishers radicle
aloes neighbours to each other, is within 200 or 300
yards of the harbour entrance, and the whole of the
' families of the various crews were congregated in
hundreds on the pier, shrieking and weeping for the
safety of fathers, husbands, and sons. Happily, the
lifeboat was at the bar when the second accident
occurred, for had this not been the case not • soul could
have hero saved. As it was, only four of the six poor
men could be rescued—the two drowned being Robert
Walker, a lon of the old man who perished from the
first boat, and George Forbes. AU the unfortunate
fellows were married, and have left families. It may be
mentioned that, with rare exceptions, few of the fisher-
men on the Scottish or Eastern coast can swim.

PUBLIC CLOCKS.

Mr. Honors proposed that a clock ehould be
placed in the Council-room and Mr. GabeiN seconded
the proposition. Mr. NIANYIELD hoped that the
clock selected would be plain and good, and above !
all things economical, seeing that, from the state of
their finances, they would have to go upon tick
hereafter. (Laughter). It was then suggested to
restore the town clock—at St. Peter's church, and
that it should have an illuminated dial. The CLERK
explained that under the Public Health Act these
clocks might be provided at the public expense.
Mr. NIANFIELI, said lie missed the tolling of the
curfew, and enquired the reason of its discontinuance.
None of the members being able to give an explain-
ation, Mr. Superintendent POUNCEY stated that one
of the bells was "crazed." "Oh! crazed! said
Mr. MANFIELIL amid much laughter; "then, in
that case, we had better not go further into the
matter."
The Council then resolved themselves into a Board
of Health, and proceeded to receive the Inspector's
report of certain nuisances, respecting which the
usual orders were made. The finance comulittee
presented their report, which, after some discussion,
was adopted.
Some other business was transacted and the Board
adjourned.

On Friday last, her Majesty's gun-boat " Biter," ran
alongside the Pier, and requested permission to lead
on it • heavy gun, for nevi*e on this part of the oast.
The vessel was immediately hauled under one of the
cranes on the pier, and a 32-pound gun, weighing
above two tons, was hoisted out, with its carriage and
other apparatus, and sent on to hind by a truck along
the railway. The whole business was over in half an
hour, and the commander of the vessel appeared to
be highly delighted with the unexpected facility with
which the service had been thus performed.

TUB New Pica AND TEAD-ROAD.—A meeting of
the working quarrymen of this parish, called rep.
laxly by the wardens, was held in the church school-
room (the use of which was kindly allowed by the
rector for the occasion), on Wednesday evening hat.
The question brought before the meeting was to7Sew:da
whether the calls due upon the shares held in the New
Pier and Tram-road, by the associated quarrymen,
should be paid out of the" Marbler's and Quarrier's
Fund," or whether the shares should be handed over
to individuals who might be disposed to pay the calls
on their own account. About sixty having assembled,
Mr. Moses Manwell was called to the chair, and after
some discussion, during which explanations were
called for, and satisfactorily given, on behalf of the
pier company, by Captain Moorsom, as to the limit
of liability, and the powers of voting which the pos-
session of shares gives the quarrymen, it wail resolved
by • large majority, that the calls due should be
forthwith paid by the wardens, out of the common
fund, and, after an able speech from the chairman,
clearly showing in his opinion the benefit which the
quarriers would derive from the Pier and Tram-road
when completed for traffic, the meeting separated,
with cheers for the success of the undertaking.

claimed by Mr. Waisey as costs he not paid by this
Board," be rescinded.- -Mr. Minors seconded the reso-
lution, which was at first opposed by Mr. GALPIN till lie
was satisfied that this was not to be a precedent to every
I..!rsou who chose to diive them into arbitration.- -Mr.
Magvishu Met the reeolution with a decided negative.
He sail that Mr. Vaizey at linit sent in a moat exorbi-
tant hill which rendered it necessary for the Board to
go to arbitration by which the sum of £l4 Ls. 9d. as
claimed, was re laced to L 49 10s, The Board had
besides paid their own arbitrator and half the costs of
the ii•feree, au,ul te did not etood.ler it was right for the

Rutz Court —The first meeting for drill took
place at the Crown Hotel on Friday evening last,.
when the various members responded to the,
announcement Colonel Matt and N. Wsliiains,
Esq., were among the number.
TEMPERANCE METING.—Mr,. Theobald gave •
second brilliant address in the Wesleyan chapel in
this town on the evening of Friday last. We hear
there was not so full an attendance of teetotallers as
on the former occasion, perhaps on account of the un-
propitious state of the weather ; nevertheless there
was a goodly number assembled to listen to the
talented lecturer who was quite as powerful in her
arguments as heretofore.
l'xisisn OFFICERS. —A vestry meeting was held at
the old Workhouse on Friday morning, when Mr.
Aaron Short was again elected to the office of way•
warden by a great majority over Mr. H. Thorn, his
rival for the surveyorship. We hear Mr. Short was
highly complimented on the present state of the
parish roads, notwithstanding the unfavourable
winter, besides having a handsome balance in hand
and every expense paid.
ELANCIIOLY ACCIDENT. —On Saturday fortnight
a sad calamity betel a young man named Samuel
Brown, of Shillingstone, an adjoining village. It
appears the young man is a wheelright and carpenter,
and after finishing his day's work he started to go to
Here Marsh Mills, about a mile distant, along the
river Stour, but this place he never reached, and the
next slay ho was found in the river. It was a very
dark night and the road somewhat obscure, and it
: seems lie mistook the footpath and walked
into the river. An inquest was held on the
body on Monday, before E. Benham, Esq., comer,
and a respectable jury, when a verdict of" k'eend
drowned" was brought in. We regret to add that In.
leaves a wife and four children to lament his loss.

Catherine Mitchell, or Leslie, sought to eatablish that

formerly Minister of Borthwick, near Edinburgh. The
parallel' and her late buslaind were engaged in 1822,
and, iu 1t427, lie having become .aistaitt to a minister,
they formally accepted each other al husband and wife,
agreeing to Lap the marriage secret till he wa.,, placed
in a church. There was no evidence of the contract
except the correspondence in which the deceased mule
scribed himself the souraner's husband, and the lady
used the name of Catherine Leslie. This was continued
