September 3.
The defences of the trenches suffer much from the
reckless conduct of the troops in removing gabions,
fascines, ammunition boxes, &c., for fuel. The Com-
mander of the Forces has already publicly forbidden
this practice, and is not disposed to permit his order to
be disobeyed. An allowance of fuel is issued for the use
of the troops in the trenches, and if it is represented as
insufficient it shall be increased, but the defences must
not be wantonly destroyed. General officers command-
ing divisions are requested to give directions to officers
under their command to exert themselves more in this
matter than they appear lately to have done, and to
order that any soldier found in ptssession of, or burning
any portion of the gabions, facines, barrels, or other
rOrdriance-stores, materhis, or tools,-shall be made a
prisoner leaving the trenches, and be liable to be
tried by a court-martial fnr disobedience of orders.
liregularities have occurred from the payment of
balances to soldiers while patients in general hospital.
It is right that soldiers' acconnts should be periodically
balanced, and explained to them at convenient times,
but it is contrary to all regulations, and very prejudicial
to discipline, that sums of money should be paid to them
whilst in hospital—arid it is requested that the practice
n v be di,continued.

Mr. Eyre Lloyd is appointed Ordnance clerk, and will
duty under Captain Gordon, Ordnance storekeeper,
Balaklava.

Henry Day, was knocked domain Jackson's-row, Deans-
gate, Manchester, and robbed of 9/. 10s. in money. The
thieves also took away his coat and waistcoat. When
the police went to his assistance he was found to have
received a severe contusion at the back of the head, and
was carried to the Royal Infirmary. Yesterday, how-
ever, he was much recovered, and able to walk to his
lodgings. A man named Edward Robots was brought
before the magistrates yesterday morning charged with

THE AMENDED BEER ACT.—Yesterday no fewtr than
twelve of the licensed victuallers of Gravesend were sum-
moned for
infringing the Beer Act of the last session, by
keeping open their houses between the hours of three
and five on the previous afternoon. After hearing the
evidence the Mayor said there was no desire to impose
any heavy penalties upon the defendants. He trusted
that they would now be alive to the necessity of having
their doors closed, and that they would not give rise to
any further complaint. Mr. Oates, of the Pope's Head,
who had been previously cautioned, and Mr. Watkins,
who had not appeared, would each be fined ss. ; but
with respect to the other defendants the court felt that a
penalty of 6d. in each case, with costs, would be suffi-
cient to meet what was required. He would add that
the act was far more extended in its operation than the
former one, and the words " open" and " keeping open"
clearly showed the intention o fthe Legislature in passing
it. If the licensed victuallers would only show some
outward compliance with the act of Parliament no further
notice would be taken, although, strictly fpeekiPlb the
1 Act typireci_the house to be closed.
