• THE ARMY.—Rumours have prevailed • about town'for
some days, of a difference between the authorities at the
Horse Guards, relative to the leave of absence granted to
certain officers, and it was said these differences would
cause the resignation of an official of high rank in the de-
pa,tment. The officer in question is the Adjutant Gene ral
Sir George Brown, who has given in his resignation. Sir
George will, in all probability, be succeeded as Adjutant
General by Major General Wetherall. —Globe.
'SPECIAL DISPATCHES FROM CONSTANTINOPLE.—Lieute-
nant Henry Carr Glyn, the son of the eminent Lon-
don Banker, lieutenant of Admiral Dundas's flag-ship,
arrived in Downing-street on Saturday last, charged with
important and special dispatches from Constantinople. This
gallant young officer, who was selected for this duty came
home via -Marseilles in. a French packe-tship. He is
under orders to be in readiness to return to the fleet at a
moment's notice. The Earl of Hardwicke, the Earl of
Malmesbury, Mr. Disraeli, and other political friends of the
Earl of Derby have been spending the past week at Knows-
ley, the seat of the noble earl. We rejoice to say that the
late premier has completely recovered from his attack of
gout, and joined the party in the sports of the field with
his usual spirit.
CORONER'S INQUESTS.—The following inquests were held
yesterday, at the Royal Infirmary, Manchester, before
Edward Herford, Esq., coroner for the city :—On view of
the body of Edward Taylor, late of Longsight, a railway-
stoker, on the Manchester and Birmingham line, aged 23
years, who was recently killed, and who has left a widow
and four children. On Saturday fortnight the deceased
went with a luggage train to Handforth, on the Manchester
and Birmingham line. The train stopped at Handforth, and
just as it started again the deceased was pushing some sand
upon the rails with his feet, as he worked beside the engine.
He slipped down and caught his hand on the spokes of the
wheel, which carried his arm round and took it off. The
driver stopped the engine immediately ; it had only got
about two yards. His left arm was torn off, his ribs were
fractured, and he sustained other injuries, from the effects
of which he died at the infirmary, to which he was removed
as speedily as possibly after the accident. Verdict, acci-
- dental death.—On view of the body of Samuel Ireland,
aged 21 years. It appeared that the deceased was a founder
in the employ of Mr. Barningham, iron founder, Canal-side,
Pendleton, and that about three weeks ago he was severely
burned at the works. It seemed that the deceased's "gaffer"
pulled out the door of the furnace, and that the deceased
threw in a shovelful' of scale iron " swarf" in order to cool
it a little. That made the flame and cinders come out, by
which he was severely burned, his shirt being set on fire.
His clothes were taken off and he was bathed with boiled
oil,' and then removed to the infirmary, where he gradually
sank and died of the injuries he received. Verdict, accidental
death from burning.
R )YAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY. —General Jochmus,
will known for his prominent part in the recent revolu-
tionary wars, has just concluded, before the above society, a
paper on the passes of the Balkan—the routes pursued by
Darius, Hystaspes, Alexander the Great, and Marshal Die-
bitschthe latter in the Russo-Turkish war of 1829. Ad-
miral Lord Radstock asked for information as to the possi-
bility of forming a connection between the Danube (near
Silistria) and the Black Sea, where it was understood that
the Romans had attempted to cut a canal. He was anxious
upon the subject, because such a communication would
obviate the iinonvenience of closing the mouths of the
Danube by the Russians. Dr. Colquhoun paid a high com-
pliment to General Jochmus. The idea of a canal between
the Danube and the Black Sea he regarded as as a myth,
the high range of the land rendering it, as he believed, im-
possible to carry out such a work.
