LATEST FROM GIBRALTAR.

By the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-
ship Iberia, which arrived at Southampton yesterday
with the Peninsular mails, we receive the following
items of naval and military intelligence from Gibraltar :
—The British steam-transport Alice Jackson, from Lon-
don, with medical stores for Scutari, and the Rajah,
from Woolwich, with shot, shell, &c., arrived at Gib-
raltar, en route to the East, on the 19th ult. The
Hansa, Alice Jackson, and Faith, steam-transports,
sailed for their destinations on the 20th. The British
steam-transport Sydney Hall, with shot and shell from
London for Balaklava, left Gibraltar on the 21st ult.
Her Majesty's steam-ship Sanspareil, with supernu-
meraries for ,the Black Sea fleet, reached Gibraltar en
the same day. 100 men belonging to Captain Christie's
company of Royal Artillery embarked on board the
Sanspareil for conveyance to the seat of war. Second
Captain Govan and Lieutenants Porter and Sandham
proceeded with them. One serjeant and 30 gunners
were compelled to remain behind for want of room. The
Sanspareil sailed on the 22d ult. The Gibraltar Chro-
nicle, in speaking of the embarkation, says :

"A finer body of men, to every appearance, could
scarcely be selected, many wearing two or three good-con-
duct badges, and no doubt they will prove a valuable acqui-
sition to this arm of the service in the Crimea. All of them
seem to be animated with the beat spirit. On leaving the
Governor's Parade, where the men had previously been
formed in heavy marching order, an immense concourse of
spectators accompanied them, cheering the whole of the
way until they arrived at the New Mole-quay, where the
Bustler steam-tug was in attendance to convey the artil-
lerymen on board the Sanspareil."

The steam-ship Meander, with shell and wooden huts,
left Gibraltar for the Crimea on the 21st ult. The Ed-
win Fox, sailing transport, put into Gibraltar on the
20th ult., for water, fresh provisions, &c., with 153 in-
valids from different regiments from the Crimea, 1 con-
vict, 1 deserter, and 1 woman, in charge of Lieutenant
Scott, 55th Foot, and under the medical care of Assist-
ant-Surgeon Poppelwell, 13th Light Dragoons. The
Edwin Fox sailed the following day for Portsmouth.
The steam transport Hamburg, in eight days from Wool-
wich, with powder, shot, &c., arrived at Gibraltar on the
22d. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-
ship Ripon, in five days and a half from Southampton,
arrived out at Gibraltar on the same day, on her voyage
to the Crimea, with troops, &c. She proceeded the
same afternoon. Her Majesty's steam troop-ship As-
sistance, from Liverpool, bound for Balaklava, put into
the Bay on the 23d for water, fresh provisions, &c. The
Black Diamond and Jarrow steam transports, from Lon-
don, with shot and shell, reached Gibraltar on the 25th,
and, after coaling, proceeded to Balaklava.

CAUTION TO VISITORS AT THE BRITISH MUSEUM.—
Numerous robberies have of late been perpetrated at the
British Museum and other places of public resort, by
elegantly attired women, aided by male accomplices,who
act as foils and receive the produce of their nefarious
dexterity. Yesterday Miss C. Munns, residing in Bap
don-square, visited the Museum in the company of her
sister, and was robbed of her porte-monnaie and a small
sum in gold and silver. On her companion being made
own t property, o
her
aware of her loss, she felt her pocket to be assured of the
and found her purse safe ;
but
great chagrin, she discovered
the contents, which were considerable, had been ab-
stracted, and the purse replaced in an empty state. On
the same day Mrs. Theakston, a widow lady from Ramp'
security
soon oafterwards, her
stead, lost a valuable watch and a photographic portrait
set in gold. She perfectly well remembers being incon-
veniently pressed by the crowd, but the apparent re-
spectability of the parties near her allayed all suspicion
of any Oyil design. The police are keeping a strict look-
out.
