Sister of Mercy, and The Rajah being left at the post.
After this Hospodar was the only animal in the betting,
4 and 7to 4 being taken about him. He made all the
running and won by three lengths, two lengths between
the second and third. Biron and Ingomar were drawn
after the false start.
The Rifle Stakes (Handicap) of 3 sovs each, with 20
added—Grey Stone in (8 subs), were won by Radul-
phus, aged, 12st, beating filly by Foxbury, 3 yrs, Dst

noon to range up alongside of the dockyard, and land
her wounded and invalided officers and men. There is
nothing to add to the full report of her arrival which we
gave yesterday, except that on the 13th, Serjeant Con-
nor, of the 89th Regiment, fell through the hatchway
into the engine-room, and received such severe injuries
that he died the same day. The engines are in a very
defective state. The Transit brought home 174 inva-
lids, 137 of whom were military, from various regiments,
all in charge of Dr. Fegan, R.N., surgeon of the ship ;
eight deaths occurred on the passage. The invalids were
removed in omnibuses, stc., by Mr. Nance, the contrao-
tor with the Government for the removal of invalids on
arrival at Portsmouth to quarters in Forehouse barracks.
The helpless were taken to the hospital.
The Royal Charlie, steam-transport, is ordered to
Portsmouth to embark detachments of the 10th, 21st,
and 44th Regiments and other troops for the East.
The Hawke, 60, screw-ship, Captain Ommanney, is
refitting in Portsmouth harbour.
There is some contradiction in the statements connected
with the collision off the Start on Wednesday evening
between her Majesty's screw steam-transport Transit
and the American emigrant ship F. W. Brune. The
American, with a fair easterly wind, was going down
Channel under all plain sail, exhibiting two lights ; it is
stated that she saw the steamer half an hour previously,
and kept her course until very near. The Transit, up
Channel, is also said to have seen the other approach-
ing, to have bailed her without effect, and then to have
reversed. The American appears to have been first
struck by the steamer's bow against the port fore chains
and rigging, through the bulwarks down to the
deck ; a second blow with less force was then dealt on
the main chains, after which the quarter bulwarks were
slightly damaged. The Transit's flying jib-boom and
swinging boom were carried away, figure-head turned
aside, and the rail and moulding on the starboard
bow grazed. In the confusion the master and mate of
the ship got on board the Transit, but were afterwards
returned by a pinnace in charge of a lieutenant, who
continued with the F. W. Brune until she anchored in
Plymouth Sound.
The periodical drill of the Woolwich pensioners took
place yesterday morning on Woolwich-common, when
416 hardy, stalwart-looking men, belonging to various
regiments in her Majesty's service, passed in review be-
fore Col. Forbes, of the Staff. They were joined by 100
of the Deptford Pensioners, under the command of
Major Warde, and after performing a vast number of
battalion movements they went through a variety of
echelons, squares, and deployments, advancing side-
ways, and charging, and fired 10 rounds each man. Col.
Forbes, who distinguished himself in the Kafir war in
1835, was yesterday presented with his medal (earned
20 years back), which was forwarded from the Board of
General Officers, and was attached to his left breast by
a non-commissioned officer. This drew forth a burst of
applause from the men, which was simultaneously kept
up by the numerous persons present. Before leaving
the ground Colonel Forbes addressed the pensioners, and
informed them that it was his duty, and a very pleasant
one, to acknowledge that their general appearance gave
him the greatest satisfaction, ' as, although, so large a
body of men, he had not had the pain of inflicting a so-
litary punishment or fine. He was happy to say there
was no appearance of intoxication, nor any absentees,
and he would defy any corps of the line to go through
their evolutions in a more soldierlike manner. The in-
spection will be repeated to-day.
The Artillery horse drill with gunners and drivers has
commenced at Sheerness, under command of Captain
Anketel, Lieutenants Barton and Light, instructed by
Rough Rider Sergeant Gregg. The horses are at daily
exercise for four hours.
Major Ord, of the Royal Engineers, has taken posses-
sion of his new house, built within the fortifications of
Sheerness, and for the future will permanently reside
in command of the Engineer Department.
Mr. Bigly, Clerk of Works in the War Department
at Sheerness, has been promoted from the Second to the
First Class.
