SANDHURST ROY AL MILITARY COLLEGE.

This morning the report from the select committee
was published. The institution owes its foundation to the
exertions of General Le Marehant. Its income is derived
from the payment of the cadets in the junior department,
that of the officers cf the senior department. and a small
sum of 601. received fur rent. In the year 1851, throwing
aside a balance in hand of 2,2201., the income of the College
amounted 18 4931., while the expenditure was 17,7311.,
leaving a surplus of income over expenditure of 7621. The
committee concur in the pricciple of the warrant of 1808, se
to the made of governing the college, but recommend that a
minutiae and steady inter( st should be shewn by the super.
intending beard. Having in a condensed form given an se,
meet of the studies of the junior departure :t, the committee
observe that they see no re son to alter the age of entrance,
or to raise the standard on entrance. They are inclined to
think that the present system of steps is capable of improve
meet, and that the introduction of military history would
ho beneficial ; and they think the examination ought to be
conducted by parties unconnected with the College. With
regard to the senior department, the committee state that
there are only two professors exclusively attached to it, sad
in that respect it requires revision and reform, as well se in
others; bat they see no means of placing the senior depart•
meat on an efficient looting unless Parliament is prepared
to m• he grants for the purpose. The committee recom-
mend that • csnimission or committee of general offi
I ems should be appointed to consider the course
ef study pursued in the senior department; but
they cannot recommend that the paTmeat of officers
Should be increased. The committee believe that it would
be of great advantage to the officers under iodisation if
'they multi be employed in the wimps of instruction, while,
M the ON time, they suggest that certificated officers
Pia* 11l id liberty to attend the course at Chatham and at
Wsolladllt, and to be attached to cavalry and infantry regi-
ments. In closing their report, the committee state that
they have formed a favourable impression of the manner in
which the duties ire performed at the Royal Military
ea College.

THE THIRD OF THE HYDE PARK
SUNDAYS.

Yesterday was enacted the third aet of the Hyde
Park drama. Ii the Park there was a crowd and
some hooting; bu►, as the police did not interfere,
nothing more. An irruption, however, was made, by
a mob of boys and blackguards, into Belgrave-equare,
and a great number of windows broken. The affair
seems likely to terminate as all noisy demonstrations
provoked by legislative and ministerial folly are
apt to do. A few fools and mischief-makers have
damaged the property of a number of individual&
without asking whether they had say cause of
quarrel with the sufferers. The well-meaning aid
respectable who formed part of the first Hyde
Park assemblage will draw back in disgust.
Especial care will be taken to fix atten-
tion on the excesses that have been com-
mitted, with a view to divert attention
from the folly which provoked the angry expres-
sions of popular feeling of which these excesses
are mere excrescences. Government, with the ap-
probation of a time-serving House of Commons, will
go on to augment and drill its centralised police
force; the Sale of Beer Act will be left unrepealed,
and sew Sunday trading bills and Maine liquor law
bills will be obtruded on the legislature. And after
a brief interval of sulky silence, we shall have a more
serious explosion than that which has just burst
around us.

BOAST O. W.ST.••••T•LIII OT • ROLM

The plaintiff conducted his case in person; Mr. Edwin
James sad Kr. Temple represented the defendant.
The plaintiff la this action, an old trainer and jockey,
imosht to recover from the defendant, • gentleman of
esetuse, the balance of 1001. on the sale of a horse sold by
his. to tbe defendant in 1829, for which the defendant gave
him an order for the amount on one Barr, which had never
been paid. In order to bring the case within the statute of
limitations the plaintiff averred that the defeadaat had
within six years paid him 171. on account.
The defendant stated that the plaintiff came riding up to
him at Ascot rases in 1829, when a conversation was going
oa about the solvency of a person named Barr, who had lost
i large sums on the Derby. The plaintiff said if they meant
Ban of Wereester he would pay ; to which the defendant
replied, " If you think to well of him I will buy the hone
you are riding if you will take an order on him for pay-
ment." The plaintiff said he would take the order, and
that the defendant might have the hone for 1001. He ae-
cordingly gave the order on Barr, and took the horse, which
a few days afterwards he sold for 171. He bad met the
plaintiff on many occasions afterward,, but he had made no
claim on the defendant until 1818, when he stated he was in
• most destitute condition, and the defendant gave him 2.1.
Some years after this the plaintiff said he would be satisfied
if the defendant would give him what the horse fetched,
sad be accordingly rave him 161., which, with the previous
21., made up the price at which he had sold the animal.
Since that time he had frequently been annoyed by the
plaintiff.
During the time that the defendant was giving his iri-
dium the plaintiff expressed his dissent by throwing up his
heads, end exclaiming, "Good God, how can you say so ?"
"So help me God it is not true," &e. He also stated he
was • poor men benumbs would not be • dishowest Jockey—
that he bad cMdss In his time for all the nobility—that he
had only webs the truth, for be had bee. brought up by a
goof nether who was the sister of an officer, so there wee

a Jockey be should ban made an excellent soldier.

Several of thejarymen having applied to be excused from
serving to day, as they said Saturday was equal to all the
live other days in the week,
Mr. Justice Coleridge said he was exceedingly sorry he
could not discharge them, but he much wished they would
endeavour to get the law altered, so that the upper
classes might serve equally with themselves. Those who
molly sat on special Juries were equally liable to serve on
cosmos juries, and all parties ought to be summoned, so
that the burden might be more equally distributed.

OUR INDIAN ARMY.

Than appeared in last Tuesday's Gazette, a me-
morandans of few words but great importance. "In
order to remove any doubt whisk may exist u to
the rank and precedence of the officers of the Honour-
able Feat India Company's service," it is intimated that
her Maury desires they shall have rank and prece-
dence with cams of the Royal Army. This rule, too,
is to hold good "in all parts of her Majesty's domi-
nions or elsewhere." The order does not merely
apply to brevet commissions signed by her Menton,
and appearing in the Royal Army List, but to all
such documents "signed by authorities duly deputed
to do so by her MA/10117.. In non•offieial—and

plainer—language, all °Akers of the East India Com-
pany's service are now 'precisely on the same foot-
ing-♦o far as rank and precedence extends—es those
of the Queen's army. Bo far so good. It is very'
seldom in these days our lot to record a Government
enactment so praiseworthy. A Captain of Na-
tire Isfantry serving his country on the confines of
Pert or the North-West Frontier of India will, for
the future, take rank with any Captain in the Blues,
Life Guards, or Grenadiers. This is but fair, just,
and wise. Until now, no matter how long the officer
of the Company's army had served, when he returned
to England—or rather, as soon se he found himself
to the Westward of the Cape—be became, in point
of fact, a civilian. The courtesies of society
allowed him to retain nominally his army
rank in this °matey ; but this was, so to speak, only
upon sufferance. When a detachment of troops em-
barked on board ship for the purpose of proceeding to
Jodie, an Resign of the Royal Army might take com-
mand of a Colonel in the Company's service, until the
vessel bad passed the longitude of the Cape. To the
Eastwnrd of that—and consequently all over India—
officers of the two armies took rank according to the
dates of their respective commissions. A more absurd
anomaly can hardly be oonosl9lllL -A -of the
Compsny's Army might sommand thousands of her
Mojesty's soldiers in Hindosta♦—aigbs cadet Courts.

'Matta to the Veto's of our excellent Lord Provost at the
dinner
..
AtFotr.n en Tuesday, in which he astonished
sad aolightol 'tse company by stating the familiar and
kind
re in which he was received by the Emperor of
_the ly repAa. Mann
as the honoured repro entative of this city. His
•••111410%ith great condescension and courtesy, admitted
his lortlenip to the honour of a private lot • ,in which
h • evinced a moat friendly interest in Glasgow, inquired as to
its Wate and progress, and asked if the Island of Arran was
Itiks as beautiful as ever. His Majesty appeased to be IN-
T teased with pleasant and grateful recollections of his sojourn
in this locality, when. although the relative and guest of
the Hamilton family, he was but little known or noticed.
The magnificent scenery of Arran seems to have lett upon
his wind a deep impressioa ; and, probably, even on the
throes of France, smelted to the highest pitch of human
speousess, he often reverts with pleasure to the quiet,
Image, and happy_ days which he spent on that glorious
queen of the Boot tales.—Gissow Gagetts.

THE NORTH SEA.

HELIGOLAND, Jets 27.
The British Government appears to entertain
seriously the intention of making this island some-
thing better than a mere depot or recruiting station,
and it is not to be wondered at when one considers
its admirable geographical position, and how little is
needed to be done by science to complete its natural
advantages. Rising perpendicularly from the sea,
and surrounded completely by high cliffs, with only
one accessible spot, it doer not require much to tura
it into a second Gibraltar. Something of this sort
appears also to to be going on. Officers of the Royal
Engineers have been for some time past engaged in
making plans and estimates, which are now com-
pleted, and have been forwarded to London for the
approbation of government. The soundings have
not been neglected, and a hydrographical survey has
been made. It is stated to be the intention of
government to make a harbour of refuge, with batter
' ries of formidable strength, on the Sandy Island,
whilst a first rate citadel is to be constructed on the
heights of Heligoland itself.
Coknel von Stutterheim arrived here on Tuesday
last to inspect the wooden huts erected for the
troops of the Foreign Legion which are being orga-
nised here. He however expressed himself dissatis-
fied with them, and has suggested some alterations.
As they are in a cold and exposed situation they will
scarcely be habitable in the winter even for the
healthy, whilst the sick would be even worse off in
them. For this reason the inhabitants have been
invited by means of plan ads to make tenders of a
good sized dwelling-house to be fitted up as a
tart' hospital, and let to government as such from
the Ist of November till the Ist of April next.
Recruiting goes on very favourably. There are
again about 250 men who have nearly finished their
drilling education, and will be ready to be trans-
! furred to Shorncliffe in a week or two.

TURKEY IN ASIA.

The Vienna Military Gazette states that the Com-
mander, of the Allied Armies in the Crimea have
forwarded to the Porte a professional opinion re-
specting the fittest measures to be taken conse-
quent upon the Russian offensive movement upon
Kars. They propose, according to this authority,
in the first place, to concentrate a force of at least
38,000 men in Batoum and Churuksu, with the ob.
jest of operating offensively from those points against
the Russians, in case Mustapha Penh' should be

compelled to retire by General Andronikors force
opposed to him at Kalensi. It is computed that
the Porte will require six weeks to organise this
tons and transport it to Batoum. Meanwhile, con-
trary to the Marseilles accounts, Bars is invested,
and the communications with Trebizond and Erze-

roam are cat off

LORD HOWDRN AMONGST THR CARLISTS

The Clamor Public° of Madrid has the following
details of the stoppage of a diligence near Burgos, in which
the English Ambassador, Lord Rowdies, was travelling:—
" The diligence was stopped near Baiting°, a place at
which horses are changed, by a band of factione, 82 in
number, under the orders of the brother Hierros, all of
whom were well mounted and in uniforms. They then told
the driver to stop, be, being greatly frightened, did so at
once. They then ordered the English Ambassador to alight,
and having recognised who be was, asked him if he were
I travelling with any Spaniard of liberal opinions. He replied
in the negative. They then put some other questions to him
which he answeredotad they told him that their cause was
the defines of the King and of religion, and that they
were incapable of wanting in respect to any one. They
proceeded, however, to examine the ambamador's trunks
sad having hound in one of them a eras of the Order of BM;
