THE ARMY CLOTHING ESTABLISHMENT AT
PIMLICO.—Last week some rather unusual visitors arrived
at the army clothing establishment at Pimhoz) in the per-
sons of Colonel Charles Thomas, and other officers of the
United States army, who, we understand, had come ex-
pressly from America to inspect the working arrangements
of this admirable factory and stores. After a most minute
inspection, which occupied some time, and which appeared
in every way satisfactory to the visitors, Colonel Thomas
and friends left the buildings.— United Service Gazette.
THE ROBERTSON COURT•MARTIAL.—The rumour
gains ground that this now celebrated court-martial has
terminated in an acquittal of the prisoner on all the charges;
and it is also confidently asserted that the " remarks" from
head-quarters will go considerably farther. We understand
that the cost of the inquiry to Captain Robertson was £I G 2
—a tolerably heavy premium for an innocent man to pay
for the luxury of proving his innocence.-- United Service

THE MISSING BOAT OF THE OCEAN MONARCH-.
—The boat which left the Ocean Monarch the night before
the ship foundered in the Atlantic has at length teen hoard

the mate, carpenter, his son, and 19 seamen,e by
schooner Oliver H. Booth, from Alexandria to

had 19 feet of water in

The carpenter
had his leg broken in getting into the boat..
After remaining 48 hours in the boat they were picked up
by the schooner Oliver II Booth, as already stated, and
subsequently six of them were transferred to the ship
James H. Keeler, which supplied the schooner with pro-
visions, cordage, and chronometer, advising them to go to
Bermuda, which they said they would do, as they were in
want of sails, &c. They shaped their course for that place.
The following cargo was on board the Ocean Manarch :-
10,811 barrels of flour, 10,802 bushels of wheat, 33,774
bushels of corn, 193 tierces of beef, 76 hogsheads of pork,
62,0201. of tallow, 298,6431 b. of lard, 789,8001 b. of bacon,
7,0001 b. of shoulders, and 10 tierces of tongues. The Ocean
:\lonarch was 2,199 tons burden, and, with her cargo, was
insured for £lOO,OOO.

FIRE AT THE PIMLICO ARMY STORES.—A fire
broke out at the military stores at Pimlico, early on Thurs-
day evening, which, had it not been for the prompt mea-•
sures adopted, might have proved of a most destructive and
dangerous character. From the information which we h eve
been enabled to gather, it appears that a large quantity of
oil-skin coats were, some time since, closely stored at the
depot against the remonstrance of the military store:keeper.
These coats, from their peculiar preparation, were found to
have spontaneously ignited; and the fire, which had de-
stroyed some four or five tthoowushaant expensedofthe tchoeatos
