departments of the Charity are conducted.

THE INTERNATIONAL SUPPLEMEN-
TARY EXHIBITION of 1862.
Although the Great Exhibition Building, now in course of
erection, covers nearly 25 acres of ground, yet there remains
a very large number of intending Exhibitors who have been
necessarily excluded by the want of space. This has caused
great disappointment, both at home and abroad, to many
who had made preparations for the exposition of their pro-
ductions.

To mccb 41,10 wank, oriel a 4 Oho aarno time 1... a (44,n faMiltiPS
for the sale of the goods which will be collected from all parts
of the world, a Company has been formed, the Capital of
which is subscribed, for the purpose of erecting on a spot
closely contiguous to the Great Exhibition Iluilding' an
Ornamental Structure designed by Sir JOSEPH PAXTON,
where the Exhibitors will have the advantage of a Building
in every respect applicable for a favourable display of their
goods, and with the privilege of selling the same to the vast
concourse of visitors who will inevitably be attracted to Lon-
don during the present year.
The Building will be called "The International Supple-
mentary Exhibition," and will cover about three acres of
around. The who'e of the space for exhihition will be upon
the ground floor, and upon the walls, there being no galleries,
and such is the perfection of the design, that all parts will be
equally well lighted.
A provisional contract has been entered into with an emi-
nent contractor for the erection of the Building, which is to
be completed, under a heavy penalty, on or before the 15th
day of May next. The charges will be—
For floor space l2s. per square foot.
For wall space 6s.
" "
Persons desirous of obtaining space must apply at the Offices
of the Company, having previously paid to the credit of the
Trustees, at the City Bank, Threadneedle-street, or at the
Agra Bank, 27, Cannon-street, the amount payable upon the
space applied for, which will be allotted according to the
priority of application.
The names of the Trustees are—
Sir ROBERT WALTER CARDEN, Alderman, Chair-
man of the City Bank.
Mr. Alderman FINNIS, Director of the Agra Bank.
WILLIAM JACKSON, Esq., M.P.
If from any cause the Building should not be completed, or
if the space applied for should not be allotted, the amount of
the deposit-money will be returned in full.
Further particulars may be obtained at the Temporary
Offices of the Company, 42, New Bridge-street, Blackfriars,
corner of Ludgate-hill.

now Thien Royal Dockyard at
Zeoeaulresueso,
Pembroke, is to be treated in a similar manner as
the Triumph, and altered to a 51 gun iron-cased
frigate. The Zealous was intended to be of 800
fSbOuiglduinnsg,
at
we line-of-Lattie-ship,
horse power and 3,716 tons burden, but her nominal
power will doubtless be altered.
Seventy additional mechanics of various trades,
who have been employed for several weeks past on
board the iron frigate Defence, 18, Capt. Powell,
C. 8., have been placed on the Resistance, 18, iron
screw steamer, fitting at Chatham, in older to expe-
dite the completion of that vessel. There are now
nearly 200 mechanics and labourers employed on
the Resistance, and every exertion is being used by
the dockyard officials to complete her by the earliest
possible period. In order to Effect this the
mechanics and artisans working on board arc now
employed from 6 o'clock in the morning until 10 at
night, with only an hour and a half's intermission for
meals, orders to that effect havizig been received
from the Admiralty. The Resistance is ordered to
be ready to be nndocked, to receive her iron
masts on board, by the Ist of March ; but, from the
amount of work yet remaining to be completed it
seems hardly probable that she will be able to leave
the dock till later. The entrance to the dock in
which the :Resistance lies is being deepened and
the obstructions which had accumulated in that
part of the harbour are being removed by means of
the powerful steam dredging machine.
The screw corvette Rattlesnake, 21, 400 horse
power, which had been fitted at Chatham for com-
' mission, was completed yesterday, and to-day will
be towed to the coal depot at Stangate creek where
she will take on board her supply of coals previously
to steaming round to Plymouth. A slight alteration
has been made in the pitch of her screw propeller
(Griffiths's), and she has also been supplied with a
spare fan. Her guns, shot, and general stores are on
board, and on her arrival at Plymouth she will only
require her officers and crew to be ready to proceed
to sea. She will.be navigated round from the Nore
by a party of riggers from Chatham and Sheerness
dockyards.

Despatches have been received at head-quarters,
announcing that the battle at Somerset did not take
place on Saturday but on Sunday morning, and
that General Thomas continued in pursuit of the
rebels until night. Our forces followed the rebels,
who ran before them in the wildest confusion like
a flock of sheep, close up to their entrenchments on
the north bank of the river. In front of their en-
trenchments the rebels laid all night, expecting
that we would storm them in the morning, but
with the aid of their boats and barges they managed
to get across the river before daylight.
They left behind all their artillery, ammunition,
horses and tents; and 80 waggon loads of quarter-
masters' and medical stores fell into our hands. Our
troops had possession of their entrenchments early
this morning. After reaching the opposite side of
the river the rebels dispersed in every direction.
Two hundred dead and wounded rebels were picked
up on the field. General Zollicoffer was found in a
waggon mortally wounded. Our loss is not de-
finitely ascertained, but it must be considerable.
The surgeon of the 10th Indiana Regiment tele-
graphs that his regiment had seventy killed and
wounded. General Thomas's division embraces
some of the best regiments in this department.
As far as I can learn, the 9th Ohio, the 10th
Indiana, the 2d Minnesota, the 18th Regulars, the
4th Kentucky, and the 10th Kentulky Regiments
were amongst those engaged.
Colonel Mason's brigade, including the 10th In-
diana, the 18th Regulars, and some Kentucky regi-
ments, reinforced General Thomas during Saturday
night. They made a forced march of twenty five
miles through heavy roads, and managed to arrive
three hours before the commencement of the
fight, in which they took a glorious part in spite of
their fatigue. The tenor of all the official de-
spatches received goes to show that the affair re-
sulted in the most brilliant victory of the war.

THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER.
—The REAL NICKEL SILVER, introduced more
than twenty-five years ago by WILLIAM S. BURTON,
when PLATED by the patent process of Messrs. Elkington
and Co., is, beyond all comparison, the very best article, next
to sterling silver, that can be employed as such, either use-
fully or ornamentally, as by no possible test can it be distin-
guished from real silver.
A small useful set, guaranteed of first quality for finish and
durability, as follows :

The Queen's dock at Keyham, Devonport, is to
be lengthened 40 feet, to meet the requirements of
the service by the great increase in the length of
ships of war.

MODERN PHYSIOLOGICAL SCIENCE
clearly shows that the whole of our system is built up
from the blood—nerves, sinews, muscles, and even solid
bone ; this being the case, the grand object is to keep this
precious fluid, the blood, in a pure and healthy state, for
without this purity disease will show itself in some way or
other ; thus diseases called by various names have all been
cured simply by the use of PARR'S LIFE PILLS, thus
showing that what has been considered different disorders,
and requiring different treatment, all originated in the same
rause, and can be cured by one uniform treatment. PARR'S
LW hi PILLS, although powerful in conquering disease, yet
are pure and harmless, and may be administered with confi-
dence to the invalid, however weakly from long ill health,
who will soon enjoy those delightful symptoms of a return to
strong health—viz., good appetite, sound sleep, and an in-
crease of animal spirits.
Parr's Life Pills may be had of any Medicine Vendor, in
boxes ls. lid., 2s. 9d., and in Family Packets lls. each. Di-
rections with each box.

WASHINGTON, JAN. 21.

The official despatch confirming the Kentucky
victory is brief, containing no more information
than is already known to the public,
On the 20th Ex-Secretary Cameron held a mili-
tary lcrcc, and delivered the following address
" Gentlemen,—l am deeply sensible of the honour
you have done me by ycur presence on this occa-
sion. We have been associated together in a
great work. I have had the army grow up
under my hands, from one of small propor-
tions to be one of the greatest establishments
in the world. I have laboured to make it worthy
of the country and the cause we were defending.
In the discharge of my duty, where such vast in-
terests were concerned, so much feeling enlisted, I
have doubtless in some cases given offence. In cases
still fewer I may have felt offences given—but they
are so few, so slight, that I cannot now remember
one. I dismiss all thought of them. Of all these
officers present, there is scarcely one that I have not
appointed—scarcely one without my name to his
commission. I allude to the fact only to assure you
how deep the interest I must feel in you. At all
times in life, and wherever I may be, I shall cherish
the most earnest wishes for your welfare and suc-
cess, for the glory of our arms, and for the pros-
perity of the country."

The hired screw steam transport Adelaide, Capt.
Froud, having embarked the 15th Regiment, under
command of Col. Cole, left Plymouth Sound yes-
terday afternoon for• Halifax, taking the route in-
dicated in The Sun of Monday. She will probably
touch at Bermuda.

Dissatisfaction has for some time existed among
the workmen employed in the smiths' department
and at the steam sawmills in Chatham dockyard"
in consequence of Admiralty regulations of specify.
ing the hours at which they shall commence and
leave work. Under the present system the mechanics
connected with those departments enter the dock-
yard at a few minutes before 6 o'clock in the morn-
ing. and work until Gin the evening, with an inter-
val of one huur and 20 minutes for dinner. A pe-
tition has been forwarded to the Lords of the Ad-
m;ralty, praying them to alter the hours of work
from 6 45 a.m. to 5 30 p.m., with half an hour for
dinner. Under the present arrangement considera-
ble time is lost each day in re-making the furnace
fires after the men return into the yard for dinner,
which would be obviated were the men to remain
in the dockyard during the.3o minutes allowed them
for that meal, The petition is supported by the
master shipbuilder, the master smith, and the chief
engineer, and is of so reasonable a character that
there is little doubt the Board of Admiralty will
accede to the request made.
