Naval and Military Intelligence.

THE NAVY.

A numerous party of mechanics were to be employed the
whole of last night on board the iron screw frigate Achilles,
at Chatham dockyard, in fitting the first portion of the
shaft for the screw propeller, in which operation they were
engaged the whole of yesterday, and up to a late hour the
previous night. The shaft was landed a few days since at
the dockyard by means of the floating sheers. Its weight is
between 19 and 20 tons, and it is considered one of the
fiaest pieces of forging ever sent out from the establish-
ment of Messrs. Penn and Sons, Greenwich, who are mak-
ing the engines and machinery for the Achilles.
Rear-Admiral Pulling, on the retired list, died at his resi-
dence, in Plymouth, on Monday. lie has been in failing
health for some time past, and was in his 76th year.

, The inspection of the transport ship Empress, in readi-
ness for the embarkation of the 4th battalion Military Train
at Woolwich, took place yesterday by the garrison authori-
ties as well as the transport officials from Deptford, who all
expressed themselves in terms of admiration of the arrange-
ments for the convenience and comfortable accommodation of
the troops. The 'tween decks appropriated for the men are
over S feet in height, and the married men's quarters are
remarkably well arranged. During the whole of yesterday
the ship's company were engaged in receiving live stock and
stowing away ammunition and powder, consisting of 3,000
quarter-barrels, in her magazine. The embarkation of the
troops has been consequently deferred until this morning.
The schooner transport Paddy Slater having shipped 350
tons of war stores for her Majesty's ship Edinburgh, left
Woolwich-pier yesterday morning. 7,000 shells and a num-
ber of cartridges and other munitions of war were yesterday
despatched from Woolwich for shipment on board the
Yfingtsze, in the docks, for Hongkong.
The following appointments and promotions were made
yesterday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Henry T. Marsden, to
the Hawke ; J. F. Hayes, nominated to a naval cadetship ;
J. Slater of the Curacoa, H. T. Ludlow of the Himalaya, J.
Pickles and J, Adams of the Asia, J. Butchart of the Cum-

MUSICAL TELEGRAPHY is one of the oddest pro-
jects of the day. fhe device of connecting a piano-
forte by moans of electric wires with another instrument at
a distance, which other being played sets its follow in a
state of audible sympathetic vibration, is made the basis of
a regular scheme, promulgated in an American paper by
Mr. IlacLenberg, who anuoundes that he will thus be pre-
gred to lay on music to any desired number of houses. A
'lied artist is to play at a central instrument in
distingm.- 'ion with the rest, and every subscriber

POLICE INTELLIGENCE

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ROBBING AN EMPLOYER.—John Walker, a lad in the
employ of Mr. Darby, ironmonger, of Oxford-street, was
charged with robbing his employer.
It appears that ttre prisoner had only been in the employ
of Mr. Darby six weeks, and in consequence of Mr. Darby
being extensively robbed, he employed Binstead Webb, a
plain-clothes officer of the C division, and Weeks, 155 C,
to watch the prisoner, and they followed him the previous
night to a broker's shop, and saw him dispose of a flat-iron.
Oa Webb taking him into custody, he said that if the officer
had come alone he should have had a " go in for it."
Mr, Darby said he had missed a good deal of property.
The prisoner pleaded eull'y, and as Mr. Knox believed
it was the prisoner's first offence, he committed him for a
month.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)

SCOTT V. SCOTT.

This was a motion for a new trial in this case, which was
heard by Sir C. Cresswell, and presented some peculiar
points. The petitioner, John Loudon Scott, instituted a
suit before the Judge Ordinary for restitution of conjugal
rights, to which respondent replied, aad pleaded cruelty on
the part of the petitioner, which rendered cohabitation with
him dangerous, and deprived him legally of any marital
rights. She also commenced proceedings for judicial sepa-
ration. The petition of the husband was heard, and a ver-
dict was found to the effect that the allegation of cruelty
had not been proved. Judgment was not pronounced, as
Sir C. Cresswell met with the accident which terminated
fatally on the evening of the trial.
The Queen's Advocate prayed for the reversal of the ver-
diet on the ground that it was not justified by the evidence
adduced at the trial. He said the principal testimony was
that of the husband and the wife, and he contended that
weight was not given to the testimony of a solicitor and a
servant named Ann Moss, who had been living with the
parties during a portion of the* time when the cruelty was
alleged to have taken place. The parties were married in
1844, Mr. Scott, at the time, holding the rank of captain in
the army, but having no property of his own, his wife gave
him a portion of 4000. The mother of Mrs. Scott became
possessed of considerable property after the marriage of her
daughter, to whom she allowed £2OO per annum, £lOO of
which she gave to Captain :Scott. In :1847 Mr. Scott
sold oat, and spent the money realised Ly the sale of
his commission. The learned gentleman then went through
the evidence in detail, to show that prior to the separation
in June, 1862, Mr. Scott had differences with his wife, with
respect to money matters and several other subjects.
The Judge-Ordinary said he would consider the ques
tion, and give his decision on Tuesday next.

simply on the production of electrical vibrations at a velo-
city equal to those of musical notes. Vibrations for example
from 50 to 1,000 per second would give a range of between
four and liye octaves,

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Nov. 6.—There has been a little
more business in yarns than was expected, at a
decline of a id. to ld. per lb. on the late high prices
obtained. The market closes with a better feeling,
and there is decidedly more disposition un the part
of agents to execute the orders on hand at the prices
now practicable. Yarns are very scarce, and this
causes the market to assume a firmer appearance
than earlier transactions warranted. In cloth there
has been a continued depression since Tuesday, with
a complete absence of business, but the engage-
ments of manufacturers are so large that there is no
inclination shown on their parts to give way in
price to any material extent. Where there are
stocks (and such cases are exceptions) a shade less
would probably be taken ; but while producers
mostly on account of their engagements, are firm,
buyers, on the contrary, seem but little disposed to
operate. The advance which has taken place in the
Bank rate of discount has had the effect of checking
cotton speculations, and the raw staple
is quoted
Id. per lb. lower, a change which of
itself has
naturally a depressing effect on this market. On
the trade with India the advance of discount to 6
per cent. means 61 to 7 percent., and the enhanced
prices at which shipments have been made may be
expected to affect the exchange unfavourably.
CARDIFF, 6th,—The iron trade is active, and the
late improvement in quotations is fully maintained*
The demand for steam coal is still iu advance of
the supply. In a iew weeks, however, it is
petted the trade will return to its usual normal
state.
NDTTINGITAM, 6th.—Wo had a fair attendance at
this exchange-hall today. The demand for lace
yarns, however, was slow, buyers trying hard to
place orders at lower rates. Holders refused to sub-
mit to any concession, and the business done was at
late prices. The inquiry for hosiery -.., yarns was also
quiet, at little or no alteration from the late rates,
Silk unchanged. There was troro doing in brown
nets, and prices, if ar,r4A,•
had a tendency to
advance.

THAMES.

AN AUDACIOUS BURGLAR—HIS EXTRAORDINARY
CAPTURE.—John Brown, a tall powerful fellow, 20 years
of age, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with
feloniously breaking into the dwelling house of Mr.
Isaac Gabriel Costa, boot and shoemaker, of 7, Great Aloe-
street, Whitechapel, and Mr. Michael Meyers, umbrella-
maker, No. 9, in the same street.
Mr. Costa said that when he came down stairs at 10
o'clock this morning he saw a man seated by the parlour
window. He at first thought he was asleep. He was about
to lay hold of him when the fellow made a start, and at the
same time he heard a noise outside which convinced him
the intruder had a confederate, and he let him go and sent
for a police constable. He searched the house for the
stranger, but could not find him. The shop or warehouse
projects from the dwelling-house, and an entrance into the
house had been effected by ascending to the roof of the
shop, and opening the first floor window. He believed the
prisoner was the man he saw in the house, but he would
not like to swear to him.

Mr. Meyers said that soon after 6 o'clock this morning
he heard a tremendous screaming and cries for help in the
top-room over his own, and on opening his own bed-room
door he saw the prisoner running down stairs. He was
about to seize the prisoner, when he said, " It's all right, sir.
Mr. Waif, next door, has shot a woman; and he ha's escaped
into your house." Witness knew that Mr. Walff did not
live next door, but thought it probable such an occurrence
might have happened, and followed the pris mer down
stairs, where he lost sight of him. A policeman was ad-
mitted, and the prisoner was found doubled up in a corner.
The prisoner on leaving the house of Mr. Costa opened
the attic window, ran along the parapet, attempted to climb
over the roof of No. 9, and tell down into the gutter below
the parapit, which saved him from being precipitated into
the street below. The prisoner then entered the bed-
room in which the servants and children were sleeping.
He aroused them by the noise he made, and they were
greatly terrified on seeing a man in the room, and all began
screaming together.

William Hine, a police-constable, No. 148 H, was called
into Mr. 'Meyers' house, and when he got up one flight of
stairs he saw the prisoner in a corner. He asked the pri-
soner what he intended to do on entering Mr. Costa's
house, to which he replied, " to take all that I could lay my
hands on."

The prisoner—The fact is, sir, I was half drunk.
Hine—He was quite sober. He is an old thief though
young in years, and I have no doubt he had a confederate

THE LATE GALE.

Accounts continue to be received from all parts of
the coast detailing the disastrous effects of the late
gale.

KINGSTOWN NEAR DUBLIN Nov. 5.
Capt. Hutchinson, li.N the hon. sec. of the
Kingstown branch of the National Lifeboat Institu-
tion, states, " I do not remember such a continuance
of bad weather and westerly and southerly gales
for 20 years. Her Majesty's ship Prince Consort
has rode out some severe westerly gales in Kings-
town Bay since her arrival. She experienced the
greatest danger when off Holyhead.

calm, I hope she will be able to sweep for the anchor
and find it. I wishl could see her depart before an
easterly gale comes on, as that might place her in
great danger." Writing again later in the day,
Captain Hutchinson states—" I am happy to
say that the Prince Consort has left the road-
stead for Plymouth. The vessel which the
Kingstown lifeboat of the National Lifeboat
Institution went off to was the ship Cornubia,
of Padstow, bound from G'asgow to Plymouth with
a general cargo. The mail steamer Leinster broke
the centre connecting shaft of her engines when
within a few miles off the Kish Light-ship last
evening, and became perfectly helpless. Fortu-
nately one of the same company's cattle steamers
was on her way to Liverpool and was signalled.
She took the Leinster in tow and brought her safely
into Kingstown Bay this morning."

Or THE METROPOLIS.

The Streets Committee brought forward a report, in which
they recommended that the solicitor should receive instruc-
tions to prepare a bill to be introduced in the ensuing ses-
sion of Parliament for powers to purchase land, and make
such arrangements as might be deemed necessary, for the
formation of a park in the south-eastern portion of London.
Mr. PIIILIAPS said the subject then before them had been
considered by a full Board, and it was their opinion that the
Board ought to have more exclusive powers than they now
possessed in order to carry on such improvements. He
would therefore move that the solicitor to the Board should
prepare a bill to be presented to Parliament in the ensuing
session to enable them to carry out their intentions.
The motion was seconded by Mr. FitEEmAN-.

11Ir. LEGG expressed his sorrow to have to move again id
that matter, but he must say that he considered justice had
not been done to the question referred to by the committee,
since they had departed from the reference and travelled
out of the record. He then proceeded to point out that the
subject was favourably reported upon by a committee in
1857, when a suitable plot of land was offered them. It
was now sought to go to Parliament for a bill, which would
greatly delay the formation of the Perk. Ile then referred
to the expense which would thus be incurred ; and in con-
clusion moved, as an amendment, that the report be referred
back to the committee.
Mr. CoLmNsoN seconded the amendment.
After some considerable discussion the original motion
was put and carried.

The Chief Engineer in his report stated that Messrs,
Brassey and Co. continued to make fair progress with the
works of the middle level, and had completed over 10k miles
of sewers of various sizes, at an estimated cost of £254,000.
The works of the western district had been much retarded
lowing to the unfavourable nature of the ground through
Fulham-fields. Mr. Fraser's contract for the outfall was
rapidly approaching completion. The works under Mr.
Furdner's contract for the northern outfall were progressing
satisfactorily, and the southern outfall was making good
way ; while the southern low level was now completed to
upwards of 13 miles. The Bermondsey bran.± was finished
to nearly three miles. The other portions or: the work were
in a terwara state.
The report was ordered to be printed; ;ind after some
reutirte business tkc Zoard adjeamed.

A letter was read from Mr. Alderman Win. Lawrence,
the Lord ldayor elect, stating that Owing to his election as
chief magistrate of the City he was c3rupeHed to retire from
his position at the Board, as his duties as such would en-
gross the whole of his attention, and thus prevent his giving
that time which, as a member of that Board, he felt it his
duty to give.
A deputation from the committee of the London Congre-
gational Chapel Building Society came before the Board
and presented a memorial relative to the application of Mr.
Tailing for obtaining permission to the erection of schools
near the chapel in John-street, Tottenhana-court-road.
After some discussion, the Architect of the Board spoke
in favour of the buildings being allowed to stand, and such
suggestion was ultimately agreed upon.

TIIAMES.

AN AUDACIOUS EURGLAR—IIIS EXTRAORDINARY
CAPTURE.—John Brown, a tall powerful fellow, 20 years
of age, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with
feloniously breaking into the dwelling house of Mr.
Isaac Gabriel Costa, boot and shoemaker, of 7, Great Aloe-
street, Whitechapel, and Mr. Michael Meyers, umbrella-
maker, No. 9, in the same street.
Mr. Costa said that when he came down stairs at 10
o'clock this morning he saw a man seated by the parlour
window. He at first thought he was asleep. He was about
to lay hold of him when the fellow made a start, and at the
same time he heard a noise outside which convinced him
the intruder had a confederate, and he let him go and sent
for a police constable. He searched the house for the
stranger, but could not find him. The shop or warehouse
projects from the dwelling•house, and an entrance into the
house had been effected by ascending to the roof of the
shop, and opening the first floor window. He believed the
prisoner was the man he saw in the house, but he would
not like to swear to him.

Mr. Meyers said that soon after 6 o'clock this morning
he heard a tremendous screaming and cries for help in the
top-room over his own, and on opening his own bed-room
door he saw the prisoner running down stairs. He was
about to seize the prisoner, when he said, "It's all right, sir.
Mr. Walff, next door, has shot a woman, and he has escaped
into your house." Witness knew that Mr. Walff did not
live next door, but thought it probable such an occurrence
might have happened, and followed the pris ,ner down
stairs, where he lost sight of him. A policeman was ad-
mitted, and the prisoner was found doubled up in a corner.
The prisoner on leaving the house of Mr. Costa opened
the attic window, ran along the parapet, attempted to climb
over the roof of No. 9, and fell down into the gutter below
the parapit, which saved him from being precipitated into
the street below. The prisoner then entered the bed-
room in which the servants and children were sleeping.
Ho aroused them by the noise he made, and they were

MUSICAL TELEGRAPHY is one of the Oddest pro-
jects of the day. The device of connecting a piano-
forte by means of electric wires with /mother instrument at
a distance, which other being played sets its fellow in a
state of audible sympathetic vibration, is made the basis of
a regular scheme, promulgated in an American paper by
Mr. Hachenberg, who announces that he will thus be pre-
pared to lay on music to any desired number of houses. A
distinguished artist is to play at a central instrument in
electrical connection with the rest, and every subscriber
will thereupon have the option by a little private tap, of
turning on the stream of harmony into his own drawing-
rooms. The thing is no doubt perfectly feasible, though,
of course, it would be useless when done. It depends
simply on the production of electrical vibrations at a velo-
city equal to those of musical notes. Vibrationsfor example
from 50 to 1,000 per second would give a range of between
four and five octaves.

and others from being devoured by enemies. Then, again,
01 those eggs that are so fortunate as to be ripened,
it is pretty certain that fully nine. five per cent, of the
young fish perish before they are six months old. Were
