Preparations for the court-martial on Lieut.• Col. Craw.,
ey continue to be actively made at Aldershot. No official
notification has yet been issued fixing the opening day of
the trial; but, as several officers of the Enniskillens have
leave of absence until the 10th inst., it is not probable that
the court-martial will commence its proceedings until after
that dato. The following is a complete list of the officers
have already arrived in the camp for examination on
the trial : Capt. Curtis, Lieut. Snell, Dr. Turnbull, Quar-
termaster Charles Wooden, V.C., Capt. Renshaw, !Aleuts.
Davies, and Wallace, Capt. Weir, Cornet Davis. The non-
commissioned officers and men consist of 20 sergeants, 16
corporals, 87 privates, which, with the above-named officers,
makes a total of 132 witnesses.
The third annual report of the committee of the Alder-
shot Hospital for the wives and children of soldiers has
just been issued. The hospital was established in Septem-
ber, 1861, and since that date has afforded relief to some
thousands of persons who otherwise must have suffered
severely from the want of medical attendance. Tho period
embraced by the report is from October 1, 1862, to Sept.
30, 1863, and is decidedly more favourable and encouraging
than that of the previous year. During the past 12 months
809 cases have been treated in the hospital—namely, con-
finements, 331; sick women, 232 ; sick children, 246. Out
of that number there have been only 23 deaths—women 7,
and children 16. In the previous year there were 669 cases
treated—viz., confinements, 330; sick women, 168; sick
children, 171 ; and out of this number 29 deaths occurred.
The report, therefore, shows an increase of 140 patients
during the year, and a decrease of 6 deaths in the total
cases treated. The subscriptions and donations amounted
to £325 15s. The balance in hand this year, however, is
only £ll5 88 5d against £l5O Os hi in the previous year,
an increase of expenditure having arisen on the pur-
chase of clothing for the use of patients in the
hospital. The report, which is signed and " ap-
proved" by Lieutenant-General Sir J. L. Pennefather,
contains the expression of the committee's
thanks to Mr. D. P. Barry, secretary and medical attendant,
and to Major Smith, treasurer, to whose persevering exer-
tions the very satisfactory state of the hospital is, in a great
measure, to be attributed.

The Secretary of the Aldershot Junction Railway Com-
pany received a communication on Friday from the War-
office, intimating that his Royal Highness the Duke of
Cambridge will be prepared to support the construction of
the new line of railroad proposed by the above company.

Staff-Surg. T. B. Reid, of the 92d Regiment, has been
appointed to succeed Staff- Surg. Bone in the medical charge
of the 10th Depot Battalion at the camp at Colchester.
At a general court-martial assembled at the camp on the
31st August, Private G. Wilmot, of the 70th Regiment, was
arraigned on a charge of insubordination, in having on the
Ist of August when a prisoner under trial before a garrison
court-martial for disgraceful conduct, assaulted his superior
officer, Capt. Reid, Adjutant of the 4th Depot Battalion, by
throwing a stone at him and hitting him on the right
shoulder, at the same time making use of an improper ex-
pression. The prisoner was found guilty, and being art
incorrigibly bad character, he was sentenced to penal servi.
tude for 10 years. The sentence has been confirmed by her
Majesty.
"Ft IV. too will wail for Ncw Zealand on the 4th,
in place of Capt. Fletcher, 4th battalion Military Train, to
whose troop he succeeds on the retirement of that officer
from the service.

The Silver Eagle, freight ship, belonging to Messrs.
Soames, arrived on Friday afternoon from China, and dis-
embarked at Woolwich-pier, No. 3 battery, 13th brigade,
consisting of Capt. and Brevet-Major Govan, Second Capt.
Leacock, Lieutenants Yeatman and Harrison, Assist.-Surg.
Gulland, M.D., 157 non-commissioned officers and men
belonging to the battery ; Lieut. Tibbets, 31st Regiment;
Lieut. Sandwith, 29th Foot ; and 40 invalids from different
corps. The Silver Eagle sailed from shanghai on the 27th
of June; 15 of the invalids who died during the passage
were buried at sea. They consisted of eight men and one
woman belonging to the 67th Regiment, one man of the
Royal Engineers, and five of the 67th Regiment. After
landing the troops at Woolwich, the Silver Eagle proceeded
up the river to the docks to discharge her cargo.
