NAVAL AND MILITARY.

CHATHAM, ,S Err. C.

Yesterday the workmen employed in 'the ropory
at this dockyard completed the manukacture of three of
the largest rope cables ever made in this country. The
cables are intended to be used in towing the monster
floating iron dock Bermuda, now in the Midway, out to
Bermuda, where it will eventually be stationed fur docking
the vessels of the iron-clad squadron, and other ships of
the royal navy. Some idea of the sue of the cables may
be formed, when it is stated that each is twenty-six
inches in circumference, and together with the shackles
and equipment complete, weighs 7 tons. The largest
hemp cables now in use in the royal navy are 19% inches
in circumference. Notwithstanding their enormous
sire, the cables were manufactured by means of the ordi-
nary machinery in use in the ropery at Chatham dock-
yard, the whole operation being effected without a hitch
of any kind. The monster dock is expected to remain
moored in the Medway throughout the winter, it being
intended to tow her out to her destination early in the
ensuing spring.

ing stage, and the t afterwards proceeded to Fleet-
wood and Leeds. The Dublin Company's steamer Iron
Duke will leave Liverpool to-day (Monday) with the 9th

min, 8 women, 13 children, and 41 horses, for Dublin ;

THEPRoPerfSEDVOLVNTEER VISIT TO EnrssEr.s.
—A meeting was held on Saturday, at Parksile, Albert-
gate, of the executive committee, appointed by the gene-
ral committee, of which the Prince of Wales is honorary
president, for the purpose of arranging the details eon-
fleeted with the proposed meeting of the Britil Volunteers
at Brussels about the 21st inst. Colonel Thompson occu-
pied the chair, and Colonel Beresford, the honorary 'secre-
tary, stated that from the correspondence which had
come to hand there might he expected not 1,..s than
efficient Volunteers to attend at Brussels. It was
resolved that the 150/. given by the King of the Bel-
gians for competition among the English Volunteers
should be shot for with any military ride (without
fancy sights), as is allowed in the Tic National itself,
while the prices give.ll by the committee to he shot for by
Belgians and English will be compete.' for with the regu-
lation arms of both countries, which will be the Enfield on
our side, as the Snider is not yet the regulation arm of the
force. Callain Dighton, of the Loudon Ride Brigade,
undertook to start off at once to Bruasels in order to
confer with the directors of the 'fir-National as to their
arrangements; and Colonel Manby undertook to inquire
as to the cheapest 1111.1111t1 ,If transit, and also to arrange
about special rates fur the Volunteers entered to shoot.
The cheapest route yet offered is Cook's, by the
Great Eastern, i i,i Antwerp, which is a very pleasant way
on good boats tool express trains, the return fare, tirst
class and ,sil.a,n, being only 30s. The entrance fee is 10s.
to the +pedal pries, and without the pans of the com-
mittee no one, in uniform or out, will be recognised as a
Volunteer.

MYSTERIOUS DIRAPREARANCE.—A young anon
named Alexander Campbell, aged 21, of Highgate a lurk
in the service of Messrs. Bowman, solicitors, Lincoln 0-inn-
fields, recently went into Wales for his summer holiday.
Ile lett there on Sunday last, for the purpoee, as was
supposed, of returning home to his mother. To her sur-
prise, however, she received on Thursday last herson's
bevelling bag from Putter's receiving house for the
London and Suburban Parcels' Delivery Company,
Islngtim, but without any tidings of her sun. The hag
coctained a label or note, saying, " U any person should
find this bag, and take it to Mrs. Campbell, York-phice,
Hiiaigate there is sufficient money in it to pay them for
their trouble." No money was in the bag, when it reached
Mrs. Camila, and it appears the missing young man is
in the habit of labelling his property in that manner. Ho
was highly respected by his employers and all who knew
him, and his absence is quite unaccountable. Up to
Saturday nothing had been ascertained of him. Ho is
lift. 8 in. high, fair completiou, light hair, and light blue
eyes, pock-marked, and was dre-sod in black, with speckled
straw hat, and aide-spring boots.

A TOO-CAREFUL BRIDE.—A day or two sine a
gentleman came up from Cincinnati to marry one of the
belles of this city. The marriage was to take place in the
evening, and the pair to set off at once on a journey by
rail. Obtaining his license the joyful bridegroom called
in the afternoon and presented the magic document to his
love, who ran and put it away for safe keeping. Cautiously
prudent, and to avoid any care on thst wore, the trunks
were despatched by expreee, and takes by the 11108ilongor
before nightfall. But when the parson had arrived and
the twain stood up to be made one, the holy man asked
for the license. The bridegroom referred to the bride,
who said It was all right—she had the license. The
preacher must see it. He (wouldn't see it, sphremehailistut it in
her trunk to carry with them as proof of her 1 statue.
Here was a mesa, the minister couldn't without
the license in band. A frantic rush was made for the
residence of the clerk, and a duplicate license obtained,
and, cutting the ceremony short, it was completed in time
for them to follow the trunk and the original license.—
