THE DUKE OP CAMBRIDGE AND THE
WOOLWICH ACADEMY.

The re-assembling of the classes of gentleman
cadete at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, took
ezala esterday morning, on the termination of the pros
Christmas vacation. The 001:1111,011 being somewhat
out of the usual order, his Royal Highness the General
Oommaring-in-Chief (now governor of the academy) at-
traded to inaugurate the proceedings. His royal highness,
after inspiring the panda, proceeded to one of the class.
where the cadets had been drawn up to hear tan ad-
dries from the duke. He informed the cadets that, by
reason of the late bereavement he wee unable to be
present at the close of the last half-year's studies,
or to preside at the distribution of prizes, but
no sooner had they re-aseembled than he came
among them. Alluding to Major General Sandham,
then present, he said that he had the highest opinion of his
"capabilities and judgment in matters connected with mili-
tary education, and, after refiring to various drum-
stances connected with the prooeerthigs of the Let six
months, he told them that an impression had got abroad
that, not having personally censured their conduct in the
late disturbances, it was presumed that he did not look
upon their offence as of any grievous import. He would
now disabuse their minds of that impression. Whatever
their grievances might have been, and however well
founded, there wen legal means of redress, and their In-
subordination deserved a far heavier punishment than that
which had been awarded. Herded, " Let bygones be

the scarier cadets, or corporals,
in future be of great repose ty. They would
be held liable for any mierodoet m the Abram of their
superiors and would be required to inspect the quality of
the daily messes. The general mode of punishment for in-
subordination and serious misconduct would in future die,
not the " black-hole," the designation of which implied
a punishment of great severity, but which in reality was
sot so • it would be a " rustication" for a term correspond-
ing to the nature of the crime. This would entail a loss of
reps in the regiment to which they might be appointed,
and would any with it a permanent degree. This, he
said, be merely dirtied to as an item of the new regulations,

to some important revision. As to the use of
*Amoco, would not be tolerated within the precincts
of the establishment or the town. He would recommend
them to eschew altogether the habit of smoking. It would
not, however, in the common and the country, bo marked
r a breach of the regulations. He imperiled upon them
the rigid necessity of observing the rules of discipline, which
should form one of the component parts of their every-
day studies.
The cadets were again marched on parade, and pro-
ceeded to St. Georges Hall for diuner at 1 o'clock.
His royal highness soon after entered the dining-hall,
sad tested the quality of the provisions, which he pro-
rowed excellent. The duke and party then proceeded
on foot towards the Lower Academy, in the New-road,
visiting first the auxiliary infirmary, recently erected in
Mill-lane. Having inspected the Lower Academy and
Horse Artillery stables, his royal highness drove off for
London at 3 o'clock.

PAWS, WIDNISDAY Emma.
In the Corps Legislatif to-day, M. Albert de
Helms complained that a foreign catholic journal
had represented him as being the correspondent of
the Indipendanee Beige who furnishes that paper
with pleasant anecdotes about the members of the
house, and he begged to disclaim all responsibility
for those productions. He had never in his life
written for the Independanet Beige. M. de Moray
