PORTSMOUTH, Ocr. 28.
The Galatea, 26, screw frigate, Captain Rochfort
Maguire, sailed this morning to join the squadron on the
West India station.

The Emerald, 3.5, screw frigate, Captain A. Cumming,
got
sizder weigh yesterday morning, and anchored off
co.
The V rago 6, steam sloop, Commander W. J. H. John-
stone, sailed this morning for Plymouth.
Tsiett.liiire, 1, screw, Commander R. C. Mayne, arrived
at on Saturday morning from Sheerums, en route
to the Australian station. Her lengthened voyage from
Sheerness, which place she left on the 14th instant., gave
rise to a rumour in Portsmouth that she had foundered in
the Channel. It appears that she has been detained by the
tempestuous weather, and that when off flutings she ran
into the schooner Louise, but without sustaining any serious
damage.
A report baa also been current to the effect that the
Chanticleer, 17, screw sloop, hes been loot. The rumour
appears to have originated in the fact that the ship loft
Portsmouth on the 16th inst. for the Mediterranean, and
has not been reported as having arrived at Plymouth. We
have, however, authority for stating that she bad no orders
to call at Plynioutb.
A court-martial was held on board the Victory, flag-ship,
on Saturday, to try Mr. James H. Marsden, sub-lieutenant
of her Majesty's ship Resistance, Captain Chamberlain, Bret,
for behaviimin a disrespectful manner, by having his hand in
his pocket when addressing Commander Hums • and
secondly, for disrespect to Captain Chamberlain, when the
latter spoke to him upon the impropriety of addressing Com-
mander Hume with his hand in his pocket. It appears that
the prisoner was not on deck at the time "all hands"
were turned up to weigh anchor on the evening of the 18th
of October, and be was therefore sent for by Commander
Hume, before whom be stood with his left hand in his
pocket when spoken to. The commander did not speak to him
°moaning the allegedimpropriety, but Captain Chamberlain
noticed the circumstance and expostulated with him. The
prisoner, it WIMP, did not take his hand out of his pocket
when first spoken to, but on the second occasion, when ad-
dressed by the captain before some of the crew, be d,
" Very well, sir." Captain Chamberlain said in evidence
that he considered the prisoner's tone disrespectful, although
the prisoner did not speak louder than usual. In his defence
prisoner denied any intention to be disrespectful, sad said
that, when remonstrated with before the crew, he was very
confused, and might have omitted to salute his superior
officer. The court found both charges partly proved, and
sentenced the prisoner to be severely reprimanded, and ad.
'punished to be more careful in the future.

ANoTIIIR BURGLARY IN TIM EAST RIDING.—
At Norton, Deer Melton, there seems to be an organised
gang of burglars, whose haunt is unknown to the police.
On the wulds sad other parts various burglaries have from
from time to time been committed, and only a week or two
ago a daring attempt of the kind was made at • villa belong-
ing to Miss Marshall, in Norton, the perpetrators of which
are yet undetected. On Friday afternoon it was discovered
that • still mom extensive burglary had beets committed
at Hungerford Howe, the late residence of Charlton, the
jockey, deceased. Hungerford House, Norton, consists of
Charlton's residence and a smaller semi-detached villa,
occupied by Mrs. Spence, an elderly ladl, who left home to
a►oid the bustle of the sale of Charlton • effects last week,
leaving the key of her house with Mr. T. Pearson, merchant,
the purchaser of the property. Mr. Pearson wan about to
occupy Charlton's villa, and for convenience obtained per-
mission from Mrs. Spence to deposit certain valuables in her
house during removal. The last lot of these was being sect
for on Friday, which led to the discovery of the burglary.
Upon entering a mace of confusion beyond description was
displayed, revealing • burglary of a vast nature to have
been recently and successfully committed. An examination
shows that the thieves bad pined an entrance by an upper
window, by cutting out a portion of • pane of glass nod
undoing the retch, entering and carefully fastening the
win Bow and pulling down the blind after them. In the
house was a chisel, with which they had forced some 33 locks
or more ; every thing and place io the house having been
subjected to an examination, and, after selecting valuable.,
the contents bad been thrown about the rooms in con-
fusion. The whole of the plated articles bad been carefully
worded out and left behind as useless. The will of Mrs.
Spence and several other documents bad been reed and
thrown aside, and, after obtaioiug all the booty possible, a
campaign of some hours' duration seems to have been con-
cluded by a carouse, the spirit bottles having been emptied
to the last drop. The burglars had then departed by the
back door, the key of which, after locking the door, they
threw away into the adjoining grounds. It is believed the
burglary was committed on Thursday eight, and no estimate
of the amount of booty can be made instil the arrival of
Mrs. Spree., to whom • telegram has been forwarded, at
Market Weightoc. Had the thieves bit upon • oitht or
twu previously, they would have met with the whole of
Mr. Pearson's silver plate and Mrs, Pearson's jewellery,
which was only removed the previous day. So cool and
deliberate a burglary has not been known here for many
years, and up to Saturday night no clue to the thieves bad
been obtained, although the polio* are on the alert,

THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.

The upward tendency which Friday's numbers
indicated at the Exhibition was not quite sustained
on Saturday, there being a falling off of about
3,000, nobody could tell why, seeing that the
weather was fine, and that Saturday has always
been considered the most fashionable day of the
week. There was an immense number of private
equipages about the building on the latter day, and
cabs were in great demand, from which we may
infer that the company consisted mainly of those
classes who are accustomed to be carried to and fro
in all their expeditions, but as they paid no more
than habitual pedestrians, the fact was not of very
great importance to the financial department.
There were great crowds in the picture galleries,
but not much of what appeared to be critical
examination • and a very ridiculous effect
wail produced by the number of persons
in elaborate toilettes, who steadily walked• up and
down the centre of the gallery, without lo&ing to
the right or to the left, but evidently being under
the impression that they themselves were the prin-
cipal points of attraction. Comparatively few
seemed to remember that them were to be seen on
the wall* pictorial gems, such as might perhaps
never again be collected under one roof.
The following is a return of the number of visi-
tors to the present Exhibition during last week,
the season ticket visitors being divided from those
who paid at the doors

The estimated expenses, including the liabilities
to Messrs. Kelk and Lucas (which now probably
amounts to 336,1371.) will stand at 660,0001. After
allowing for the probable receipts (deducting extra
expenses) of the present week, the bazaar fortnight,
and the closing ceremonial day, the estimated de-
ficiency of 50,0001. will still remain.
As the Commissioners, however, have doubtless
made arrangements with the contractors, who have
been the real showmen since about the 20th of Sep-
tember, to share in the profits of the extra season,
the deficiency may probably be reduced in this
shape, as we anticipated in our financial summary
published on Oct. 13th.
. _

The extra receipts, as above stated, since the
extension of the season, amount to about 27,0001.,
and the future receipts will doubtless bring this up
to 65,500/.
Whatever portion of this sum Mews. Kelk and
Laces have bound themselves to give up under a
new agreement with the commissioners, will go in
reduction of the deficiency.

We have received the following circular, which
appears to have been addressed to the members of
the various Commissions :
Exhibition Building, South Kensington, W.,
Oct. 25,1882.

fits,—lt is with great satisfaction that her Majesty's
commissioners find themselves able to inform you that his
Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, being anxious to mark
his deep interst in the sumess of the International Exhibi-

father, has, with the approbation of her Majesty, graciously
undertaken to distribute the medals and certificates of
honourable mention, at a state ceremonial early in the year
181i3, after the building has been cleared.
The date of the ceremonial, and other particulars, will
shortly be announced. lo the meantime, the commissioners
desire me, while communicating to you the above informa-
tion, to express their earnest hope that arrangements may
be made which will enable yourself and the various members
of your commission to be present at the concluding ceremony
of the Exhibition, and to moist in the distribution of the
medals on that occasion.

With sentiments el the highest consideration,
I have the honour to subscribe myself,

GEOLOGISTS' ASSOCIATION.

A party of the members of this association and
their friends assembled at the lolernational Exhibition, at
10 o'clock, ou Saturday morning, for the purpose of listening
to • number of walking lectures on some of the objects of in-
tense connected with their society. The first visit was
paid to Haocock's case, where Professor Tennant pointed out
the peculiarities of some of the Devonshire gems, including
the finest known emerald. Hunt and Itoell's case was
also inspected, and the diamonds, sapphire*, rubies, opals,
polished beryl., aqua =rises, Icc,, from the collections of
the Marquis of Westminster and the late Mr. Hope, excited
admiration; as did the rubies and diamonds, inelmlierg the
Koh-i.noor, the private property of her Majesty, lu Oar-
reed's ease. The party then proceeded to Nova Sootier where
Mr. Marsh gave an admirable account of the diecovery of
gold in that country, and called attention to its remark-
able purity. The fine specimens of aluminium and
Be compounds, in Mews. Bell's case, formed the
subject of • lecture by Mr. Meredith ; after
which the party proceeded to Messrs. Johnson and
Malbey's cue, where Mr. Tomhasou gave a short lecture
os platinum and some of its associated metals, describing
the difference between Wollarton's and Tenant' processes
for prepariog platinum. Mr. C. H. Smith. the veteran
geologist, in the midst of the building stones is the eastern
annex, lectured on his favourite subject; after which Pro-
fessor Tennant called attention to the granites. serpentines,
and porphyries. The party next proceeded to Victoria,
where Mr. Osborne gave an interesting account of the geo-
log:cal survey of that distant colony, and of the method of
preperiog the maps of the name. Dr. Milligan then ex-
plained the mineral prodacts of Tasmania. Yr. Jones gave
an account of two bejewelled portraits in the Indian depart-
' moot, after which Mr. Dowllans allowed the perky to
examine the articles in jade, and pointed out sonic of the
more interesting miosial products of India. The Belgian
ores were next explained, and the party wound up with •
visit to America, where Mr. Clement spoke of the ores from
Oilifornia, including those of mercury and silver, while
these and the copper from Lake Superior proved the subject
of an animated duceselen, thus bringing to a close this the
last, and perhaps the meat sucesesrul visit of the members
of the Geoloriste Amesiatiou to this marvellous collection
of the world's history.
