CIARRY'S CONFESSION,
kJ By the Author of "High Church," " Owen," "Made.'

" A good novel."— Press.

" There is a great deal of sterling merit in this author's
writings. The present interesting story tells an intricate
story simply and well. The dramatis persona' are welt
drawn, and show a thorough knowledge of human life.
'Carry's Confession' is certainly a superior work, and one
which will add to the good opinion generally held of its
author." Observer.

final assault and capture of Delhi. Owing to the
length of time the 52d has been in India the service
companies are considerably reduced in strength, but
they will be augmented to the full compliment
from the depot companies.
The 25th company of Royal Engineers, under the
command of Lieut. E. F. S. Lloyd, arrived at head-
quarters, Chatham, yesterday, from the Mauritius,
having disembarked at Portsmouth from the iron
steam troopship Orontes, 2, 2,812 tons, 500-horse
power, Capt. H. W. Hire. The company, from its
long absence on colonial service, only numbers be-
tween 70 and 80 men of all ranks, but it will be
raised to its proper strength from the depot com-
panies of Royal Engineers at Brompton barracks.
Col. Arthur Borton, C. 8., has assumed the com-
mand of the troops in the Eastern District, vice
Major-Gen. Lord H. Percy, V.C. Capt. Hill, of
the Ist battalion Ist Regiment, has assumed the
command of the troops at Landguard Fort and
Harwich, vice Capt. Browne, of the 97th, who has
returned to Colchester.

about the same ; and the actual results obtained
being, therefore, so much in favour of the double
screw, the conclusion must be accepted that two
well submerged propellers, one on each quarter of a
vessel, and thus cutting their way solidly into the
water, must be far superior to either the best single
screw arrangement, or that of the paddlewheels. As
the twin screw thus gives speed superior to every
other form of a ship's propulsion through the water,
and also gives her a power of revolving on even her
own centre—a power that cannot be attained by any
other arrangement—Sir John. Hay and Mr. Stans-
feld may both find their ideas, as expressed by .
them in the House of Comnions on Monday even-
ing, perfected with regard to a war-ship's speed and
form, as in the completion of the small gunboats
Vixen and Viper, building now for the Admiralty
by Messrs. Dudgeon, and in the more powerful
twin-screw vessel promised to be built by Lord C.
Paget at her Majesty's dockyard at Pembroke.
