A circular has been received at Chatham from the
War Department, stating that the Secretary of State
for War has now decided that the cost of transport
shall be included in the Engineer Estimates. At
stations where commissariat or hired transport has
been supplied hitherto the commanding Royal En-
gineer and the senior commanding offier will con-
fer on the subject, and the former will include in
his estimates for 1863-64, and in those of future
years, the amount which it is considered will be
necessary to meet the cost of such transport as will
be required by their department for the year. The
commanding Royal Engineer will then apportion
the total amount among the several items of his
estimates, showing the nature and amount of trans-
port required for each, and including its estimated
cost in the estimate for each. He will also give at
the end of his estimate an abstract showing the
amount proposed for each item on account of trans-
port and the total amount.

ROMANTIC SToRY.—The Gazette des Tribunaux
has the following strange story :—A shoemaker and his
wife, with a daughter about eight years of age, who occu-
pied a small lodging on the fourth floor of a house in the
Rue du Temple, were some few weeks ago much struck
with the sorrowful air of a lodger, named Bernard, who had
just hired a room near their own ; and, thinking him in
want of common necessaries, they adopted a thousand little
expedients to relieve him without offending his delicacy.
They were always asking him to take of this dish or that,
and he occasionally consented to dine with them. One
day however, he said thgt, if convenient, he should like to
take his meals with them always, and would pay them
100 f. a month. The woman thought it too much, but
he would not hear of paying less. About a week ago
Bernard received a letter which appeared to cause him great
agitation. After reading it he threw it into the fire, left
the house, and never returned. The shoemaker and his
wife were uneasy about their friend, fearing that ho had
committed suicide ; but a day or two after they received a
letter from him, thanking them for all their kindness, and
begging them to accept the sum of 10,000 f. in bank-notes,
which he had left in a certain drawer in his room. They
were also to sell his furniture and keep the proceeds, as be
was going a lsng journey from which he should never re-
turn. As the letter was pouted at Senlis, the shoemaker
went there to make inquiries after his friend, but could hear
nothing of him. He acccordingly returned home and ap-
propriated the 10,000 f. as his benefactor had desired, in
establishing himself in business on his own account.
