THE ARMY.

The depot of the Horse Brigade, Royal Artillery,
will leave Woolwich in a few days for their new
station at Canterbury, in command of Col. Price,
C.B.

The contract entered into by the Elswick Com•
parry for the supply of ten 300 pounder guns has
been completed, the whole or the guns having now
arrived at Woolwich in good condition.
In consequence of the very favourable state of the
weather yesterday, there was at Woolwich a general
outdoor muster of the troops. The Horse Brigade
and field batteries of the depot Royal Artillery, and
the sth battalion Military Train, in chief command
of Col. Sir David Wood, R.H.A., K.C.8., assem-
bled on the barrack field, in the presence of General
Sir Richard Dacres and staff, and were inspected
and marched past. The Ist battalion 60► h R fits,
in command of Lieut.-Colonel Sir E. F. Campbell,
performed a series of manoeuvres on the Royal
Artillery parade, and a portion of the two bat-
talions of Royal Marine Liglit Infantry, in com-
mand of Col. Gascoigne, C. 8., were drawn out on
Woolwich common for the usual battalion exercises
and drills. 128 non commissioned officers and
privates, in command of Captain Bunce, Royal
Marine Light Infantry, went through a lengthened
course of rifle practice in th© Plumsteed marches. -
By the direction of the Duke of Cambridge, Capt.
F. J. Bolton, 12th Regiment, the inventor of the
lime-light signals, is now engaged with the staff of
the Royal Engineer establishment, Chatham, as-
sisted by non-commissioned officers and men from
the Laboratory, in a series of experiments and trials
with new signals at Chatham garrison with the view
of testing the utmost capabilities of this invention.
The officers and men engaged in the experiments
are nightly despatched to far-distant stations in
♦arious parts of the district and country, between
which a constant succession of signals is flashed
from the principal station, Chatham, the whole
being superintended by Capt. Bolton. On thecom-
pletion of the experiments a report is to be made to
the War-office on the result of the trials.

The 7th company of Royal Engineers has been
inspected by Major-Gen. H. Eyre preparatory to its
quitting head-quarters, Chatham, for Dover, where
it will be stationed for the purpose of constructing
additional defences.

The whole of the officers on leave of absence, to
gether with the non-commissioned officers and men
on furlough, have rejoined their respective regi-
ments and depots at Cheatham garrison, preparatory
to going through their annual course of summer
drill. The officers and gunners attached to the Ist
division of the depot brigade, Royal Artillery, i,
the Chatham district, have also returned from the
usual leave granted during the winter ECM the, and
the batteries are being now put through a daily
course of company and set-up drill, previous to the
commencement of the important summer exercises
in the use and management of rifled and smooth-
bore ordnance, and practice with solid shot and com-
mon and segment shell with garrison and field ar-
tillery.

Alabama to leave Liverpool, was guilty of negligence, and
has failed in ith duty to a friendly nation."
which, having been supported by Mr. MATTS (a
carpenter), was carried unanimously.
Mr. TREMOR (a joiner), moved, and Professor
BESLEY seconded, the following resolution :

" That we altogether repudiate the statement that the war
now raging in America is the result of republican or demo-
cratic institutions, but rather do we believe that the liberty
arising out of such institutions has made it impossible for
slavery longer to exist there, and we further believe that
should the South be successful in setting up a Government
founded on human slavery, to recognise such a Governmen
would be to take a step backwards in civilisation, and we
declare that we will use oarr utmost efforts to pre wilt the
recognition of at y Government founded on such a 111011-
strous iniquity. And we hereby tender our thanks to the
President, Government, and people of the Northern States
for the firmness they have displayed and the sacrifices they
have made to restore the Union and consolidate the liberty
of the republic; and, as the cause of labour and liberty is
one all over the world, we bid them God speed in their glo-
rious work of emancipation." _ _ _

which, having been spoken to by a Mr. CONOLLY,
was also unanimously adopted.

The following address was then moved and
seconded by Mr. PETHERBRIDGE and Mr. HEAP,
and unanimously agreed to

be pronounced healthy. E schinge, of Course, rules

THE GREAT EXHIBITION.

Mr. H. SEYMOUR asked the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer if be had entered into negotiations with Messrs.
Kelk and Lucas for the purchase of the building of the
Great Exhibition of 1862, with a view to remove into it a
portion of the collections of the British Museum ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was not
officially in a position to afford any information. The dis-
posal of the building did not entirely rest with the contrac-
tors, but the commissioners cf 1852 and 1862. Certainly
the terms asked by the contractors were not such as the
Government would deem it expedient to accept. Negotia-
tions, however, were still pending.
BARRACK MASTERS.

Colonel FRE-RTH-Itsied whether barrack masters, of
late employed as public accountants, bankers, and lawyers,
having charge of public property, paying and receiving
rents, underwent any examination as to their fitness to
carry out so many professions never before united in the
same person ?

Sir G. C. Lewis replied that barrack masters had been
employed in the way mentioned, but not certainly as
lawyers and bankers. (Laughter.) They were examined
as to their competencyy, and were assisted by competent
soldiers from the ranks. A competent accountant, with a
salary of £4OO a-year, had been appointed to the Pimlico
establishment.

THE CHANNEL FLEET,

Notwithstanding the changeable character of the
weather during the afternoon, large numbers of
excursionists proceeded by the ordinary trains to
Kingstown for the purpose of inspecting the fleet,
or such vessels thereof as might be selected for the
purpose by the directors of the different steamers
plying for hire. This, by the way, we consider, a
just cause of complaint on the part of visitors,
who cannot proceed on board any particular ship
they may desire to inspect, but are compelled
to go wheresoever the steamer or tugboat, in
which they take passage, is directed to leave
them. Of course it may be urged in answer to this
that it is in the power of any person to charter a
boat for his or her special conveyance—and such no
doubt is the case—but, when it is considered that
the fleet lies nearly two miles from shore, and that
Dublin Bay, under the influence of a stiff north
wester, is anything but safe for an open boat, the
impracticability of such a course must be obvious.
Several officers of the fleet came to town at intervals
during the day, and visited the different public
buildings and other objects of interest in the city.

GREAT NORTH OF SCOTLAND.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at
Aberdeen on Friday, Sir D. 11. Elphinstone in the chair.
The report was held as read.

The CHAIRMAN said that the traffic returns for the past
half-year showed that the company was in an exceedingly
favourable position. The increase was something like
£1,700 notwithstanding the very bad harvest of last year.
There had been a falling off under the head of agricul-
tural produce of £7OO. Since last meeting the company
had entered the Clearing-house for a considerable portion
of its traffic, and next month they would enter for the
whole, so that they would bo able to obtain through rates
on much easier terms for all goods sent by through traders.
He then referred to the opening of the railway from Forres
to Perth, and expressed his conviction that if that line
interfered with the traffic (southwards) of the Great North,
it would only do so temporarily. Alluding to the meeting
held a fortnight back in connexion with the opening of the
Highland line, and the gentleman who then presided, he
said, although he differed from Mr Ellice ha many matters,
he always looked upon him as one of the leading men in
the country, who guided the affairs of the country in
the most delicate crisis to which it was ever sub-
jected, and had left a name which was an honour to Aber-
deenshire.

After some remarks by Mr. Stewart, the vice-chairman
of the company, expressive of the willingness of the direc-
tors of this line to enter into amicable arrangements with
the Scottish North Eastern Company towards effecting an
amalgamation, the report and statement of accounts were
approved.
The following dividends were then declared,—upon the
new shares at the fixed rate o; lfis per cent. per annum
the new preference shares (B) at lOs per cent per annum;
the preference stock at £7 per cent. par annum ; and the
original stock at the rate of £7 per cent. per annum.
A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceed_
inge.

COLONIAL.

TEA.—Business has been inactive, and the few dealings
entered into has been at about previous rates.
SiTGAR.—Tho market has remained dull, and inferior
descriptions of West, India have slightly given way in price.
Good grocery qualities, however, have sustained former
quotations. In the refined market there is little change to
record as regards values.
COFFEE.—The demand for both foreign and colonial de-
scriptions has been inactive, and prices in some instances
are rather lower. The stocks on hand, compared with
those of the same period of last year, show a slight in-
crease.

RICE fair amount of business has been done in East.
India. which has fully sustained previous quotations.
TALLOW.—There has been a more active inquiry on the
part of the trade for home coisurnption, and a slight ad-
vance has taken place in prices. P.Y.C. on the spot is
quoted 44s 6d to 44s 3d ; last three tnotahs' delivery, 41s to

THAMES.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON THE CAPTAIN OP A SHIP.—
Edward Fleming, a tall and powerful black man, was
brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with assaulting
Captain John Devine, the master of the ship Elizabeth.
Clarke, a constable of the East and "West India Dock
Company's police, said the prisoner summoned his captain
to the Thames Police-court yesterday afternoon for a balance
of wages, and the case was dismissed on the ground that the
prisoner was bound to go back in the ship to Bathurst,
River Gambia, in Africa, where he shipped. After leaving
the court the prisoner repaired to the ship, and at half-past
4 o'clock made a violent assault on the captain. Witness
was called on board, and found the captain bleeding from
the mouth and nose, and his face contused. The prisoner
was held back by several men, and demanded his certificate
of service and discharge fr•,m the vessel, and his clothes, and
Was about to pounce on the captain again, when he seized
him and took him away from the vessel. The captain of
the Elizabeth was seriously injured. The witness then put
in a medical certificate, stating that Captain Devine was
unable to attend.

Mr. Horace N. Powell said he was on board the Eliza-
beth, and saw the prisoner attack the captain, beat him in a
furious manner, and throw him down. The captain had
no chance with the prisoner at all.
The prisoner, in defence, said he asked Captain Devine
for his discharge and a pass for his clothes, and he would
not givo him either. He waited five minutes, and repeated
his request, on which the captain took up a billet of wood.
He then thought it high time to defend himself, and
knocked down the captain, and hit him in the ribs.
Mr. Partridge—I have a certificate; the captain is unable
to come here. You are remanded until Friday.

THE ARMY.

The I battery of the 4th Brigade of Field Artillery
will commence its march from the Hilsea Artillery
Barracks at Portsmouth this morning, for Woolwich,
to embark for service in New Zealand. The fol-
lowing officers accompany the battery, Lieut.-Col.
Barstow in command :—Capts. Betty and Martin ;
Lieuts. Toogood, Robson, and Donnythorse. It is
a very creditable fact, and also suggestive of the
present serviceable state of the field artillery of
England, that within one hour of the I battery re-
ceiving its orders to prepare for embarkation for
foreign service, it was complete in all respects, even
including its tent equipage, and could have been
embarked.

Full benefit of reduced duty obtained by pur-
chasing Horniman's pure Tea; very choice at 3s. 4d. and
4s. "High Standard" at 4s. 4d. (formerly 4s. Bd.), is the
strongest and most delicious imported. Agents in every
town supply it in packets.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE:—On Sunday an attempt
at suicide was made by a woman named Caroline
Murray, living at No, 3, Woodin-atroet, Cornwall-road.
It appears she had taken the best part of a bottle of a com-
peund mixture used for French polishing. She was taken
to Guy's Hospital, where the stonveli-pump was used by
the house surgeon, but she remains in an insensible con-
dition.

Fear Not.—Though surrounded by circumstances disad-
vantageous to health, these remedies, properly applied, will
cut short fevers, influenza, inflammation, diptheria, and a
host of other complaints, always lurking about to seize on
the weak, forlorn, or unwary. The superiority of Hollo-
way's medicines over others for subduing disease has been
SO widely and fully proved, that it is only necessary to ask
the afflicted to give them a trial, and if the instructions
folded round them be followed no disappointment will ever
ensue, nor dangerous consequences result. In hoarseness
and ulcerated sore throat the Ointment should frequently
be rubbed on the neck, and top of the chest ; it will arrest
the increasing influnmation, allay disquietude, aud gra-
dually cure,

THE GREAT EASTERN,

The report of the directors of the Great Ship
Company, to be presented, at the general meeting
of the proprietary on Friday next, alludes with
regret to the circumstances that have made it neces-
sary to call them together to relieve the undertaking
from its present embarrassments, or to wind up its
affairs. While the number of passengers conveyed
across the Atlantic exhibits satisfactory progress,
the earnings from this as well as from the freight
have been materially reduced by the severe com-
petition between the two great rival companies that
has been carritd on throughout the season, as will
be seen in the following table :

The report especially alludes to the accident off

state of affairs is chiefly attribu►able, from the delay
and heavy expenses attending the repairs. The
hurricane with which the ship had to contend on
her last outward passage to New York was the
subject of much comment by some of the passen-
gers, who appear to have been more frightened
than hurt. It is also specially stated that although
she laboured considerably in consequence of the
Partial disablement of her paddle-wheels in the
earlier part of the passage, no injury resn,ted to her
hull or machinery, nor is the slightest symptom of
straining observable in any part of the vessel.
From the accounts it appears that the expenses of
the Great Eastern during the present season are
about £20,000 in excess of her earnings, and by a
curious coincidence, is the difference between what
the ship earned in her three voyages this year at
the reduced rates, and what she would have earned
under those of last year. In conclusion the report
says:—" Your directors must impress upon the
proprietors that the position of the company's
affairs is most critical, and that immediate steps
must be taken either to raise additional capital for the
Prosecution of the undertaking or to dissolve the
company; this latter alternative your directors feel
would amount to a total sacrifice of the property of
the ordinary shareholders. It is for the proprietors
to determine what is to be done. The ship cannot
be retained in the possession of the company unless
funds be raised immediately to pay off the existing
trade debts, amounting to £30,002 19s. 4d., and
whatever employment may be designed for her a
further sum will be required for the necessary outfit,
and the repairs needful for the efficient maintenance
of the ship.—Liverpool Albion.

UDBRIGHT,

The fifth ordinar7 general meeting was held on Friday,
Mr. M'Culloch in the chair. The report stated that it was
expected the line would be opened far traffic in November.
The statement of accounts showed that the receipts had
been £45,546, and the expenditure £13,907. The line was
about 10 miles in length, and would connect Kirkcudbright
with the Dumfries and Castle Douglas, the Portpatrick,
and tho Glasgow and South-Western Railways. The cost
