a cowkeeper in the ervice of the same geitlemai, and who also lies
in a precarious state, from wounds inflicted on himself. It appee
that on Friday and Saturday Millard had bee.) oh,erved to be some-
what strange in his manner, and as his father has been insane for the
last ten years, it was feared by some of the servants that the son was
also of unsound mind. Ho, however, discharged his duties props ly,
and on Saturday evening, having killed and dres; ed a pig, he returned
to the cottage of his father, with whom he resided. /shoat eight
o'clock the same evening, Border and his wife, who resided in a
cottage about 100 yards away from the Millards, sent co ,he latter

DEPARTURE OF ROYAL ARTILLEPY FOR

INDIA.

In acecrdance with reg'ment Al order,, the offivrs, non-commis-
sioned officers, and men of cap`ala J. C. Thing's "InP-111y,.2nd
Battalion, and Captain A. M. Calvert's company, 11th Battalion,
Royal Art llery, uoder orders for India, assembled on parade at
Woolwic', at seven o'clock or. Su:day morning, with every equip-
ment, for inspection by the comnan ling offizers, p evious to
immediate departure. A large proportion of the men wore decorated
with medals fa the Crimean campaign, and their ge eral appear-
ance was that of soldiers well able to sustain the arduous serv'ce in
which they will shortly bet ngagcd. After inspection the companies
formed in marching order, and proceeded from the gar, ison to the
Arsenal ration o' the North Kent Railway, where a 'special train
was provi 'e I for their c niveyance to Southatnptoo. I,f,tw ithstand.
ing the early hour, large numbe-s of persons assembled to witness
the departure of the troops, and loudly cheered them on the march.
By an excellent arranse nent the train which leaves Woolwich by
the North Kent R ilway proceeds direct 'to Southampton by mans
of the Reading branch cf the South•Eastem line, thus preventing
the necessity of shifting carriages. On arriving at Senthampton,
the force, w..ich is accompanied by Lien'enint-Co!onel Maberley
and eta $, will imme lia ely embark on board a 'steamer for Alexan-
dria, from thence cross the desert and proceed to Suez, whea they
will re-embailt on b ard a steam-vessel for India. From the pried
of leaving Woolwich It is ealea'ated t'tat the force will arrive at
Bombay in thirty sic days, as the railway across the desert is now
part ally o_ en for truffle. It is much to be regretted that the artil-
lery force now on p ,ss
_e, or at least a large proportion, were not
fire arded by thi route.
