A Vow:eves& EIPRLLIED. —At the annual re-
view of the 14th Kent (Woolwich Dockyard) Volunteer
Artillery on Saturday, the 28th ult., one of the members
of the 26th Kent (Royal Arsenal) Rifles appeared on
parade in a state of intoxication, and was carried away
lace downward. The following order has been subse-
quently promulgated :—" 26th Kent Rifts Volunteers,
Battalion Order :—Private M`Guinn, No. 5 Company, 26th
Kest Rifles, is dismissed, in consequence of disgraceful
coniuct at the review of the leth Kent Volunteer Artil-
dii key. —J . BAILER, major commanding."
A very clever robbery was committed on Satur-
day at Glasgow. A gentleman had drawn 6601. from the
bank, but before placing the notes for the amount in his
dla pocket, he turned for a moment to converse with a friend,
leaving the money on the counter. When he gain looked
at the spot where he had left the notes they had gone, and
no trace of them has since been discovered.
Hr. Hawkahaw continues to be fully occupied
. S with his investigations in the Channel, with a view to the
ad selection of the site for the tunnel between England and
Frame. These preliminary examinations will not be corn-
- plied for some weeks yet. In she mean time he is inun-
dated with all kinds of impracticable suggestions from all
kinds of people. The most onoi nal idea, perhaps, is that
suggested by one writer, of sinking an iron tube for the
- trans to pass through, the tube itself to be suspended by
• buoys in the Channel —Raihcay Pews.
xd Some greatly improved carriages, just constructer'
at the Longliedge Works of the London, Chatham, era
Dover Railway, have been put upon the High-level Crystal
_, Palace line. The first-class carriages consist of four comport-
'" ' manta, but the partitions between each two have been
removed for about one-half of the height of the carriages.
The stuffed backs of the centre seats accordingly reach
only to about the shoulders of the passengers. In conse-
quence of this arrangement the carriages are lighter and
cooler, and much be.ter suited for summer traffic than
those of the ordinary description of first-class. The second
and third class carriages are also considerably improved,
and the whole of the cartiages being built of the same
design and uniform in style, the trains have a vastly
improved appearance. The carriages are coupled owe
~ , closer together, and the buffers are shorter than in the old
ni form of train. The trains of the South Western working
the short traffic between Ludyste-hill and Clapham
Junction are coupled up closely in the same manner,
ad following in this respect the example set by the Greenwich
trains of the South &Mem—Railway News.
Hoisgs Fos Irray.—Two Italian gentlemen,
Colonel Castillingo and Signor Bon. have been purchasing
horses in England for King Victor Emmanuel during the
last few weeks. They have bought altogether about 25
choice animals.
Tea GERMAN VINEYARD& —The Moniker Vini-
role comments in the following language on one of the re-
molts of the German war :—" Aa we foretold, the cultiva-
tion of the vine—that which demands the moat handwork'
—his been completely neglected for the last two months
an the other sideof the Rhine. The props are not erected ;
the branches are allowed to drag on the ground like the
stalks of the pumpkin ; and the huda are not pared. The
flower has been drenched by rain; the juice ts thin sad
scanty ; and whatever may be now done there is no
remedy possible. This is a great misfort., se in a hums-
nitarian point of view ; but, as the mishap is irremedia-
ble, we must, as men, roa'm up our minds on the rub-
ject ; and as Frenchmen sod vine-growvls, we must, if
ad not rejo'cle, a:: least congratulate ourselves in being the
heirs to profit by the disaster. A seen li 'Ma net always
sheds teen over a deceased uncle's will. Let as, therefore,
abstain from seni.imentality, and profit by the inheritanes.'
