THE ARMY CLOTHING ESTABLISHMENT AT
PIMLICO.—Last week some rather unusual visitors arrived
at the army clothing establishment at Pimli,o 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, anci which appeared
in every way satisfactory to the visitors,
colonel Vtomas
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 £762
—a tolerably heavy premium for an innocent man to, pay
for the luxury of proving his innocence.— United Service
Gazette.

THE MISSING BOAT OF THE OCEAN MONARCH.--

James R. 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 wore in
want of sails, &c. They shaped their course for that place.
The following cargo was on board the Ocean Monarch :-
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 b. of tallow, 298,6431 b. of lard, 789,8001 b. of bacon,
7,0001 b. of shoulders, and 10 tierces of tongues. The Ocean
Monarch 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 have
been enabled to gather, it appears that a large quantity of
oil-skin coats were, 531120 time since, closely stored at the
depot against the remonstrance of the military storekeeper.
These coats, from their peculiar preparation, were found to
have spontaneously ignited; and the fire, which had de-
stroyed some four or five thousand of the coats before the
discovery was made, was rapidly communicating itself to
the building. Had these storehouses been burnt to the
ground there is no saying to what expense the Government
might have been put► or the inconvenience the army must
have Buffered.—Unital Service Gazette.
