Naval and Military Intelligence.

Capt. Gaynor, of the 38th Regiment, has been or-
dered to proceed to the service companies of that
corps. The Rev. Mr. Cannon, Presbyterian chaplain
at Colchester, is to proceed to Shorncliffe, and the
Rev. Mr. Kirkwood, now officiating at Shorncliffe,
is to do duty at Colchester in the room of Mr.
Cannon. Staff-Surgeon West has been ordered to
Colchester for duty with the 4th Depot Battalion,
vice Surgeon W est, under orders for foreign service.
The annual course of musketry instruction, under
the superintendence of Capt. Bunco and Sergeant
Rixson, Royal Marine Light Infantry, at Woolwich,
has terminated; 1,040 non-commissioned officers and
men have been exercised throughout the past year,
and a most satisfactory report has been forwarded
to the Admiralty. The figure of merit of the bat-
talion is 78.94 ; best shooting detachment, 107.00 ;
best shot of battalion, Private Stephen Lester, 111th
company, 74 points in the first and second classes.
The percentage of first-class shots was 34.57. The
musketry range is situated in the Royal Arsenal
marshes, and is occupied each•alternate day by other
corps, so that the Royal Marines are enabled to
carry out their instructions three days per week
only. Constant complaints have been made of the
want of shelter during the practice, as it is stated
that the severity of the weather, in summer as well
as winter, has frequently been detrimental to the
correctness of their aim, in addition to the unneces-
sary exposure of the men themselves. Capt. Bunce
has been granted leave of absence from his division
until the 22d of February, when the course of in-
struction for the forthcoming year will commence.
The Lords' Commissioners of the Admiralty have
been pleased to signify, by an announcementreceived
yesterday at Woolwich, that Royal Marines serving
in ships at home shall be allowed two months' leave,
on re-engagment, with a free passage back to their
ships ; and that those re-engaging while serving in
seagoing ships shall on regaining their division, be
also granted a furlough for two months, with a free
passage back to headquarters.
The officers of the Select Committee of Woolwich
Arsenal have terminated their experiments in
gunnery for the season. The whole of the new
Woolwich guns made in the Royal gun factories,
under the superintendence of Col. Campbell, R.A.,
120 in number, have been proved at the Butt, and
none have failed in the slightest degree. Mr. Frazer's
cheap gun has fired 250 battery charges with the
greatest success. The charges consisted of 301 b. of
powder, increased to 401 b., and a 2501 b. shot. The
gun is as perfect as at the commencement of the trial.
The drawings and specifications of the armour
plates for the new ironclad frigate Hercules, ordered
to be laid down at Chatham, have been prepared at
the dockyard preparatory to tenders for the manu-
facture of the plates being invited from the princi-
pal iron firms. The broadside armour plates are to
be 9in. thick, and the others Bin. and 6in. thick. It
is intended to give the manufacturer of the 8-inch
and 9-inch plates to one firm and the other kinds to
a separate firm, three different contracts being re-
quired for the various plates. It is worthy of re-
mark that the largest iron plates yet manufactured
either in this country or America have been sent out
by the firm of Messrs. John Brown and Co., Atlas
Works, Sheffield, several thousand tons of plates of
a thickness never before manufactured having been
despatched by the firm named to Russia, which takes
an unlimited quantity for the facing of the granite
fortifications now being erected at Cronstadt and
other parts of the island of Retusari, commanding
the approaches to St. Petersburg.
In consequence of the great increase which has
recently taken place in the factory and engineer de-
partments at Chatham dockyard, owing to the alte-
rations rendered necessary since that establishment
has become the principal dockyard foriron shipbuild-
ing, the Admiralty have directed the appointment of
an assistant chief engineer and inspector of machinery
for service at the dockyard. 'The officer to be ap-
pointed will be attached to the Wellesley, 72, guard
ship at the port, for service at the dockyard, and
will receive allowance for table money, &c.
The following appointments were made yesterday
at the Admiralty:—Lieut. Fredk. Edwards to the
Duke of Wellington ; Lieut. Chas. E. K. Brett, to
the Aboukir ; Lieut. Harry F. Hovendon, to the
Gladiator; Alex. Brown, master, to the Indus, for
service in the Topaz° ; Fredk. W. Rea, master, to
the Cumberland, for service in the Bellerophon ;
and Henry J. Chalke, master's-assist., to the Tamar.

The traffic receipts of this company's lines, 611
miles in length, amounted for the week ending the
21st of October to £10,103, and for the correspond..
ing week of last year on 571 miles, to £6,392, show-
ing an increase of 40 miles, and £3,711, or 58 per
cent. in the receipts.

• -
METROPOLITAN (FINSBURY) EXTENSION.

The following is the speech of Sir John Young
on opening Parliament in Sydney, New South
Wales, on the 24th of October last :

" Hon.
Gentlemen Gentlemen
of t
the theegLiselagtiisvlactliivseseCnolbulnyc,il and
" (1.) The duties of Parliament having already
occupied you during five months of the present
year, it is not without regret that I feel myself
com-
pelled to call you together so soon,especially sthis is the season when your private affairs most
require your attention. (2.) Satisfactory results
have attended the measures sanctioned by you dur-
ing your last session for improving the state of the
public revenues. Though that portion of the fiscal
scheme which obtained your assent has not produced
sufficient to meet the requirements of Government,
yet when it is considered that its operation has ex-
tended over so short a period, and that the law has
been found in some respects defective, the improved
condition of the public finances is matter for con-
gratulation. (3.) By the recent appraisement of
the runs occupied by the pastoral tenants of the
Crown, the annual income from the public waste
lands will be largely augmented, but the estimated
amount of money will not be fully realised. (4.)
During the Recess arrangements have been made
for holding Circuit Courts at Deniliquin, Wagga
Wagga, and Armidale, and those distant parts of
the colony will now speedily have the advantage
of the administration of justice by the Su-
perior Courts. (5.) Measures have been taken
for relieving the more overcrowded of the
prisons by removing a considerable number
of the inmates to Port Macquarie, where at a
comparatively small expense buildings hitherto .
unoccupied have been made available for this pur-
pose. Steps have also been taken for carrying out a
system of classification. A bill to regulate prison
discipline and to encourage the reform of offenders
by establishing a plan of remission of sentences will
be submitted for your consideration. (6.) During
several years past large sums have been expended
in improving the accommodation in our lunatic asy-
lum, but noting really effective can be done until
the new buildings have been erected. Preliminary
arrangements are being made for the erection of
such buildings, and your concurrence will be re-
quested in the selection of a suitable site for the pur-
pose. It is much to be desired that a private esta-
blishment should be opened for the reception of
patients of that class for whom it is difficult to make
suitable arrangements in a public asylum. To faci-
litate the establishment of such an institution an
amendment of the law will be necessary, and a bill
having reference to the subject will be submitted to
you. (7.) A bill for regulating reformatory and
industrial schools has also been prepared for your
consideration. This subject is one of daily increas-
ing interest. (8.) Several other bills having refer-
ence to questions of pressing importance will be laid
before you. Among them is one for amending the
Municipalities Act of 1851, with a view to correct
its numerous defects and to promote the extension
of these corporations throughout the colony, and
also a bill for creating road trusts. Your attention
will be invited to bills for amending the Stamp Act
and the District Courts Act, the Superannuation
Act and the Volunteer Act, and for dealing with
other subjects requiring legislation. Gentlemen of
the Legislative Assembly,—(9.) The Estimates of
expenditure for the year 1866, and a Supplementary
Estimate for the current year, will be laid before
you without delay. (10.) Notwithstanding the
continued bad seasons, from which the colony
has suffered during the last four years, and its
comparatively depressed condition, the revenue for
the year will, it is believed, cover the expen-
diture. Hon. Gentlemen of the Legislative Council
and Gentlemen of the Legislative Assembly,—(ll.)
Owing to the competition caused by the large
number of colonial debentures for sale in London,
and the tightness of the money market arising from
the demands for money from foreign countries, the
debentures of this colony have not of late realised
such favourable prices as they formerly obtained.
Authority has recently been given for placing them
before the public in the same manner that other co-
lonies have, with better success, adopted for dis-
posing of their securities, and it is anticipated they
will in consequence be. more favourably viewed by
purchasers. (12.) In the event of further taxation
being required to provide sufficient revenue for
making adequate provision to meet the interest of
our public debt and for paying off debentures as

Yesterday the official inspection of this line was
made by Captain Tyler, Government Inspector,
previous to its being opened for passenger traffic.
The examination was commenced about 11 o'clock.
Mr. M. Fenton, the genoral manager ; Mr. J. Belk,
M.P., the contractor ; Mr. J. Fowler, the engineer ;
Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Spagholetti, Mr. Burnett, and
others were present. Captain Tyler first inspected
the disc telegraphic apparatus by Mr. Spagholetti,
and the levers in the junction signal box at the en-
trance to the new Farringdon-street station, and
those near the mouth of the Clerkenwell tunnel,
where at the present moment some, difficult works
are being carried out by the contractor. On the
east of the Clerkenwell tunnel another is being
formed at a level 14ft. below that already existing,
and now used for the daily traffic of the line to and
from Paddington. The new tunnel extends about
700 yards in the direction of King's-cross. The re-
mainder of the distance to that station will be an
open cutting. From the entrance of the Clerken-
well tunnel the officials proceeded to the permanent
Farringdon-street station, on the east of the tem-
porary station now in use. At the south end of the
new Farringdon-street station there are two open.
ings beneath the girder bridge which carries the
street above. Through that on the right the line
leads to a junction with the London, Chatham, and
Dover Railway at Ludgate-hill, and also to a loop
line furnished with a mixed gauge for the accommo-
dation of the Great Western Railway, and passing
beneath the site of the intended new meat market
at Smithfield. The narrow gauge rails of the ;Me-
tropolitan proper are taken beneath the left open-
ing, and, running round the base of the north wall
of the cutting, pass beneath a covered way at the
end of St. John-street, Clerkenwell, and under
Charterhouse-street, emerging at the Aldersgate
station, a building 300 ft. long, with an arched
roof of iron and glass. The distance between the
Farringdon and Aldersgate-street stations is about
a quarter of a mile, and from the latter, through
the north half of the station, the line is continued by
covered way and cutting to the temporary Moor-
gate station in Little Moorfields, at the back of
Finsbury-pavement. A portion of the mixed gauge
rails upon the loop line on which the Great Western
traffic from Paddington will be taken into the city
has been laid, but the cutting from near Aldersgate
station to Moorgate has yet to be cleared. With
this exception the Finsbury extension is completed
and ready for opening. Captain Tyler returned
again along the line, examining the points and sig-
nals, a special train being at the disposal of the in-
spector. The line will probably be soon opened for
traffic.

they fall due, a proposition for this purpose will be
laid before you, and I trust you will cordially assent
to any reasonable measure having this object iu
view. (13.) The construction of railways is being
proceeded with in the northern, western, and south-
ern directions as fast as funds can be provided for
the purpose. (14.) You will be invited to consider,
at as early a period as the more urgent matters re-
quiring your attention will permit, whether a plan
for attracting from the mother country a larger and
more continuous stream of the better classes of in-
dustrious immigrants cannot be devised. The sub-
ject is one of the greatest importance to the colony,
each of the varied interests of which must continue

to languish without such aids. In connection with
it your attention will be directed to the present up-
set price of the inferior and back lands, and the de-
sirability of making the acquisition of such lands by
purchase possible. It is a matter well worthy your
serious and thoughtful consideration whether the
freehold occupation of all classes of land is not more
advantageous, in a public point of view, than any
other more precarious tenure ; whether by such
means the permanent settlement of an industrious
population may not be best promoted, the improve-
ment of the land encouraged, its productiveness in-
creased, and a more adequate return insured for its
use and occupation. Large funds would thus be pro-
vided for meeting the cost of immigration, and of
public works and institutions which become necessary

as population advances. (15.) I pray that the
Divine blessing may attend your counsels and guide
you to adopt such measures as may tend to advance
the welfare and happiness of the community whose
interests are committed to your care."

A GROOM AND FOUR HORSES BURNT TO DEATH.
A waggon containing four horses, the property of the King
of Italy, has just been destroyed by fire, as well as the groom
in whose charge tho animals wero, while on the Montoran
Seine-et-Oise Railway. The disaster is belived to have
been caused by the man, when the worse for liquor, smok-
ing and setting fire to the straw.

is, without doubt, Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, con-
aining both phosphoric acid in abundance and chloride of
potassium ;it also includes casein, the same principle which
is found in milk in its constituent part=. No wonder, there-
fore, that under its influence many children affected with
atrophy (wasting away of the body), and marked debt i'y,
have completely recovered. I have given it with the greatest
advent tge in such cases ; and so far as I may judge from my
Own experience, practice fully carries out what theory,

Yesterday Lord s.
rANI.EI was entertained at a
banquet, held in the Law Association rooms, Liver-
pool. Mr. PIIILIP RATIIBONR, the President of
the Chamber of Commerce, gave the entertainment,
and in proposing the health of the chief guest, lie
made a very interesting and comprehensive sprech,
which embraced many of the important topics re-
lating to political life and public men. He began
by enumerating some of the most difficult and com-
plicated matters which yet remain for us to settle ;
and foremost among the perplexities of social life
he rightly ranked railways. After the great poli-
tical subjects of controversy are disposed of, this
question concerns all, or nearly all, of us in some
degree, and the right mode of dealing with it, and
