the district, accompanied by Cols. Somerset, C. 8.,
and Thackwell, Deputy Assist.-Quartermaster and
Adjt.-Gens., paid a visit to the ship. The Newcastle
is expected to sail for Calcutta this morning.
The non-commissioned officers and men of the
Royal Engineers selected from the depot companies
at headquarters, Chatham, to augment the 22d com-
pany, which embarks to-morrow for China, left
Brompton Barracks yesterday morning for Ports-
mouth, the detachment having been previously in-
spected by Col. Browne, C.B. The 22d company
will embark in the Louisa, and will relieve the Bth
company, which latter returns from China to
Chatham.

The entire establishments of Woolwich Arsenal
and Dockyard, including the contractor's and
builder's departments, will be closed the whole of
to-day, for the purpose of allowing the men so dis-
posed to attend the volunteers' review to be held at
Chatham. The reception of stores, both by land
and water, will be totally suspended. The time
has been made up by the men working over hours.
The following detachments of troops were em-
barked on board the St. Lawrence, Indiaman, at
Spithead, on Monday and Tuesday for passage to
Calcutta, under the inspection of Captain Loch,

Inspection of the Victoria Rifle Brigade.

Yesterday evening the Victoria Rifle Brigade
were inspected on their parade•ground at Kilburn
by Colonel M'Murdo, C.B. Lieutenant-Colonel
his Grace the Duke of Wellington was unable to be
present owing to severe illness, and the corps mus-
tered under the command of Capt. Greenhill. The
number on the ground was about 250 men, com-
manded by the following officers :—Captains Green-
hill (commanding), Lollins, and Dickenson; Lieute-
nants Ewings, Haworth, Wilmott, Keeson, and
Saunders; and Ensigns Mitchell, Hay, and Robert-
son. The adjutant, Capt. Trew, was at his post, as
were the chaplain, the Rev. Mr. Hawker, and the
doctors, Croft and Stewart, whose posts have been
perfect sinecures, owing to the care exercised by the
men of this corps to guard against accidents, The
ground was kept by a Lumber of the hurrey Light
Horse, under Captain Meller, assisted by some of
the Metropolitan Light Cavalry. On the arrival of
Colonel M.Murdo the corps formed into line three
deep, and received him with a general salute, after
which the gallant colonel rode along the line,
minutely inspecting the rifles. The corps were
then put through the platoon manual exercises, in
the performance of which they were frequently
commanded by the Colonel.

At the conclusion of the inspection the corps
formed a tgnare, and Colonel M'Murdo addressed
them in a short speech, in which he said that his
being there on this occasion was an accident, but he
esteemed it a fortunate accident, as it had given
him the pleasure to inspect the Victoria Rifles. They
had greatly improved since he had last done so (two
years since). Every movement they had performed
had been done extremely well. He could not wish to
see a better or more efficient Volunteer corps, and
would have been satisfied with one less so. Their
arms were also in a good, serviceable state ; and,
from the excellence of their drill, which did Capt.
Greenhill extraordinary credit, he was led to look
upon each man of them as an officer to be employed
in training Volunteers, should a war ever give
occasion for their services. He would have the
greatest pleasure in reporting them most favour-
ably to the Secretary of State.

HOLYHEAD HARBOUR.-The Commons' select
committee on the state of this harbour report that
the wooden jetty does not give sufficient accommodation for
landing either mails or passengers. In strong northerly
winds there is considerable difficulty and delay in bringing
vessels of the length of the mail packets alongside; and in
bad weather the discomfort to passengers landing on so ex-
posed a situation as this jetty is severely felt. The Govern-
ment engineer has hesitated to erect a shed on so frail
structure. When the contract was made for the conveyance
of the mails between Kingston and Euston-square in 11
hours, the Government had determined to erect piers at A
cost of £125,000, but the cost led to the abandonment of the
scheme, and the penalties for being after time have never
boen enforced. Two causes have been suggested to the
committee—the one to construct a breakwater, at a cost of
about £50,000, protecting the head of the jetty, and enabling
it, when strengthened to Lear a shed ; the other to
deepen the water and put a shed on the stone pier, at a cost
(with some other works) of £33,000. The committee state
that the ditty of the Government to facilitate the passenger
traffic, as well as the postal service, has always been recog-
nised, and the Government are entitled under their con-
tract to half of any sum over £35,000 received from passen-
gers.
The commit/ft consider that additional accommoda-
tion should be afforded with as little delay as possible, and
that the penalties should then be enforced for being after
time unnecessarily,

LEAVING A TRAIN IN MOTTON.—On Tuesday
night, at a late hour, a fatal accident occurred to a
woman, about 40 years of age, at the Blackheath station of
the north Kent Railwr,y, It appears that the deceased,
