THE ARMY•

His Royal Highness the Du
ke of Cambridge, the
General Commanding-in Chief, concluded his
annual official visit to Portsmouth yesterday by in-
specting the quarters of the
Field Artillery at
Hilsea, the formidable, but as
yet unfinished, de-
fensive lines at Hilsea (planned by Sir John Bur-
goyne to defend the entrance into Portsea Island
from the mainland), and Portsea Island from the
main lan d),an d forts Widley, Nelson , and Southwick,
on Portsdown-hill. His Royal Highness after-
wards returned to Government-house, Portsmouth,
and, after partaking of luncheon, left by train for
London, under a salute of 21 guns from the garrison
saluting battery, the Royal Standard at the same
time being hauled down from the flagstaff of the
garrison and the Union Jack taking its place.
The head-quarters of the 87th Regiment, under
the command of Colonel Murray, disembarked at
Portsmouth yesterday morning from her Majesty's
screw transport Meg wra, and left by South-Western
Railway at 11 a.m. for Farnborough and Aldershot
Camp.
Col: H. D. Harness, C. 8., director of the Royal
Engineer establishment, Chatham, has been occu-
pied during the last three days in making his half-
yearly inspection of the companies of Royal En-
gineers at head-quarters, Brompton Barracks.
Yesterday was devoted to an examination of the
books and official documents belonging to each
company.
The hired sailing transport Norwood arrived at
Portsmouth yesterday from London, and this morn-
ing will embark the remainder of the 2d battalion
18th (Royal Irish) Regiment, for conveyance to New
Zealand. The headquarters of this regiment, it will
be remembered, sailed some ten days since in the
Elizabeth Ann Bright.

GOING THE WHOLE HOG.—Cincinnati has lost
her chief glory, and must henceforth resign with
that the soubriquet of which she has long boaeted. West-
ward the hog wends his way, and over Chicago, the City of
the Lake, his star now risen and sets. The season of 1861-
62 showed that Cincinnati was no longer entitled to the
swinish distinction of being the chief pork-packing city of
the world, as Chicago then packed 40,000 more hogs than
she did. But the statistics of the present season, just pub-
lished, reveal the amazing fact that while Cincinnati has
packed 562,582 hogs, Chicago has, by regularly established
packers, packed no less than 970,264, or close upon a round
million. We sympathise with Cincinnati ;we congratulate
Chicago—henceforth crowned the true and undisputed
Porkopolis.—Ncty York Times, March 28.
It is a commonly received opinion that parrots
and ravens live to a great age, From the follow-
ing statement, coming from a wealthy farmer of La Beauce,
it appears that ducks also are long-lived. In a letter ad-
dressed to a journal he says I have in wy farmyard a
duck of a small breed, which my father bought 21 years
ago, and which then appeared to be very old. She has
laid regularly every season since, and raised several good
broods. She laid her first egg this year on the 28th ult.
In beak and plumage this duck is very much like a wild
one. I have never been able to learn where she was bred.'

LORD DUNDREARY.—it is worth recording, what
we know to be a fact, that when this eccentric nobleman, on
Tuesday evening last, presented himself before a Liverpool
already taken for one month, while 1,200 stalls, at 6s, each,
every seat in the dress circle, at ss. each, was
had been sold. There is no parallel to this in the theatrical
annals of Liverpool. It will be the same thing at Edin-
burgh, we fancy, on the 25th May next.—Scotsnzan.

CITY AND SUBURBAN —Good money has undoubtedly
been entrusted to Adventurer and the Jacqueline colt, and
we hope to get the winner in the pair, the first named hav-
ing our preference, as his stable is in such excellent form.

METROPOLITAN.—We must record our preference for
Harlequin, Bedouin, Adventurer, and Asteroid ; and if
Bedouin and Harlequin cannot win between them, there is
not much in public running.

CITY AND SUBURBAN.— I have been assured that the

venturer as a race of that description, where so much de-
pends on the start, can be relied on. As the Jacqueline colt
will be T. Taylor's horse he must displace Polynesia, and
if I substitute Argonaut in lieu of Beachy Head my choice
will not be found far out at the finish.
METROPOLITAN.—Mr. Saville's (Buckenham or Harle-
quin) will prove very troublesome.
BEACON---Sporiing gazette.

CITY AND SUBURBAN.—Adventurer and Oberon having
such an immense advantage in the weights, I confess to
having the most fancy for, and taking with them Argonaut
and Umpire, 1 think the winner will be found among the
quartette, and, from what I hear, I give the preference to
Oberon.

METROPOLITAN.—The race lies between Asteroid, Alerte,
Bedouin, and Bryn Gwyn; and as we last week saw Fair-
water carrying 381 b. more than Mr. Ten Broeck's horse, and
run within a couple of lengths of him, Asteroid is bound,
according to last year's running, to beat the Newmarket
Stakes winner, to whom he only gives 351 b ; and I expect
Alerte will prove Sir Joseph Hawley's most dangerous
opponent.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

THE POLISH INSURRECTION.
CRACOW, APRIL 11.

The insurgents, under the command of Akord,
stationed in the district of Maryampol, have sue-
ceeded in establishing a communication with the

insurgents in Samogitia.
Conflicts have taken place between the Russians
and the insurgents at Mingos, in Podlachia (?),
Kulwarga, in Masovial (?), and at Lodz.
The Czas publishes a proclamation of a very in-
cendiary and sanguinary character, asserted to have
been issued by the Russians, and to be in course of
distribution by them among the peasants, in order
to incite the latter against the insurgents. The
same paper announces that M. Swiderski, a landed
proprietor, and his wife and daughters, have been
murdered by the Russians.

PRUSSIA AND DENMARK.

BERLIN, APRIL 11.

The "Fortschritt " party held a meeting yester-
day, in which, upon the proposiEon of Herr Twes-
ten, it was resolved that in a future sitting of the
Chamber of Deputies, the Government should be
asked whether it considers the recent acts of Den-
mark as a fulfilment of the engagements entered
into by that country after the negotiations of 1850
and 1852 ; and also whether the Government still
considers itself bound by the said negotiations, see-
ing that Denmark had evidently violated its en-
gagements.

POLAND.

PARIS, APRIL 11.

The Moniteur, in its bulletin of to-day, says :
" The insurrection in Poland continues to spread,
especially in the Government of Augustowo. The
news of the check experienced by the Russians at
Koslawanda is confirmed. An imperial decree has
been published to-day, proroguing the Corps Legis-
latif to the 30th April."

SPAIN.

MADRID, APRIL 10.

In to day's sitting of the Congress the Minister
of Finance requested authority to collect the taxes
until the Ist July noxt, and declared that if it were
not granted the Government would withdraw the
bills for reforms in the customs tariff presented by
the late Government, To-morrow Senor Rivero
will put a question to the Government in reference
to the late ministerial crisis.

PICKING UP STRAY SHOTs.--i. ---:
hat novel
case of prosecution on the part of h
was disposed of at the Portsmouth bench le Admiralty
last week
waterman was charged with picking up the Spent aliot. . A
the Excellent, used in gunnery exercise. The shots, -t- aof
pears, are now marked with the broad arrow, in order '
that
they may be identified, and eight watermen are licensed to
pick them up and restore them. The prisoner was not a
licensed man, and hence he was prosecuted for having such
shot in his possession. It was stated that a similar case had
not been brought before the magistrate for 20 years. It was,
however, pr. Ned that the Admiralty had been in the habit of
purchasing such shots from other than licensed persons, who
had restored them ; and the defence was that the receivers
were as bad as the thieves. The magistrates, taking this view
of the case, dismissed the prisoner, observing that if the
Government desire to prosecute in such cases they should
give notice of their intention. It is a good illustration of
the freedom of our laws when the will of the Government
is put aside by local magistrates,— Woe 4?4,210 gactift

directed the surgeon of his staff to attend Mr. Finkenatein
o his hotel at Cracow, and not to leave him until he was
well. The one wounded Pole who still lived mas conlded
to the care of another doctor, and was also removed to
Cracow, to the hospital of the Hotel de Saxe. The journey
to Cracow must have been dreadfully trying, not only to the
patients, but also to their medical attendants; the roads
being so bad that the carriages on which the wounded men
were placed were constantly on the point of upsetting.
Langiewicz' surgeon had to walk the last 20 miles (the
whole distance from Jebultow to Cracow is about thirty)
holding the side of the carriage or cart in which the patient
was lying, propping him up from time to time, and ex-
pecting every moment that the jolting would disarrange
the bandages and re-open one or more of the 32 wounds
inflicted upon him by the daring Regiment of Smolensk,

THE MISSISSIPPI.

The Mississippi ("father of waters") is by far the
largest of North American rivers. Rising in the
small lake of Itasca, on the verge of the middle
table-land, at an elevation of 1,500 or 1,600 feet, it
runs southward through the great central plain, re-
ceiving numerous accessions from either side, end,
after a winding course of 3,160 miles, falls through
a swampy delta into the Gulf of Mexico. Its main
tributaries on the right or Rocky Moantain Bide, in
wiiich they take their rise, are the Missouri—a
river even longer, larger, and having more effluents
than the Mississippi itself—the Arkansas, having
also many effluents, and the Red River; R bile on the
left its chief tributary is the Olio, with its numerous
feeders from the western slopes of the Alleghenies.
Between the Reeky Mountains on the west, and
the Appalachians ou the east, lies, therefore, the
great conjoint basin of the Missouri, Mississippi,
and Ohio, having an area of more Clan a million
square miles; containing every description of soil
and scenery—prairie, barren, and woodland;
watered by innumerable streams and several navig-
able rivers; and possessing every variety of climate,
from the coldly temperate highlands of Nebraska
to the sub•tropical warmth of the Gulf of Mexico.
Tee Missiksippi, we have said, has a winding course
of 3,160 miles, but if the Missouri be taken as the
main stream, its length is 2,260 miles ; while that
of the Arkansas is 2,000, and the Oeio more than
1,000 miles. The breadth of the Missouri and
Mississippi at their confluence is about half a
mile, and the main stream downwards is very
little more. Though gentle, the current is by
no means sluggish; and thus, during floods, from
the melting of the snow in the higher latitudes, the
rivers sweep downwards immense quantities of mud,
driftwood, and other debris. The Missouri is said
to be navigable " from the Great Falls in the Rocky
Mountains to the sea, a distance of 4,000 miles; the
Mississippi, from those of St. Anthony, 2,240;
while the Ohio, being connected by a system of
canals with Lake Erie, and thence to Lake Ontario,
carries out a water communication between the
Gulfs of Mexico and St. Lawrence." The Delta of
the Mississippi, which projects itself forward into
the Gulf of Mexico, is a low and unhealthy region,
nearly 14,000 square miles in area, and full of
lagoons, creeks, and pestilential marshes.—Page's
