SALUTES IN WITRTEMBERG.
STUTTGARDT, Oct. 15.
The following order of the day has just been
issued in this city to the Wurtemberg army :
" 1. It has been observed with displeasure that
when his Majesty enters the box in the Court
Theatre the officers present do not' rise all together,
but upon one side later than upon the other.

" 2. Officers are reminded that when the Queen
enters the Royal box after the King, her Majesty is
to be saluted separately.
" 3. It has been repeatedly observed with dis-
pleasure that the guards deliver the salutes pre-
scribed by the regulations too late before their
Majesties. The excuse that the sentry before the
guard-house delayed in turning out its guard will
be no longer accented, but the commandant of the
post will be made personally responsible for the de-
livery of the salute at the proper time.
"4. As mistakes have occurred in the salutes to
be given to his Royal Highness the Prince Frede-
rick, attention is directed to the fact that the salutes
prescribed for princes and princesses of the royal
house in the direct line are to be delivered not be-
fore Frederick only, but whenever his royal high-
ness passes the guardhouse accompanied by his
royal highness's consort, Prince Catherine. To
avoid error, in case their royal highnesses should
drive past the post together in a closed carriage, the
footman at the back will make a sign to the sentry
by raising his arm.
"5. The excuse that a soldier has omitted the
prescribed salute from ignorance of the King's per-
son will no longer be admitted. All soldiers have
to make themselves well acquainted with his Ma-
jesty's person. For this purpose exact photographs
of his Majesty are to he obtained at the regimental
cost, and hung up in the barrack-rooms.
" 6. The excuse that the prescribed salutes to
their Majesties were omitted because, being in a
close carriage, they were not recognised by the
passers by, cannot be accepted. Soldiers are ad-
vised, in case of doubt, to deliver the prescribed
salute before every closed carriage."
When, in the reign of King William, his present
Majesty's father, a princess complained of irregulari-
ties in the salutes of the posts, the King gave orders
that, to prevent such irregularities in future, that
princess was never to be saluted at all. The present
King appears to have adopted a different system.
His Majesty clearly thinks there is nothing like
making sure.

Lifeboat Services.

NEWBIGGIN-BY,TIIE-SEA, NORTIMMBERLAND,
Tuesday Night.

This morning during a gale from the E. (reports
the Rev. E. Mangin) a small vessel about two
miles to the S.E. of Newbiggin was observed to
hoist a signal of distress. The lifeboat of the
National Institution was launched with the utmost
despatch, but the vessel had foundered before the
boat reached the spot where she had been first seen.
The lifeboat succeeded, however, in rescuing the
two men who had formed the crew of the vessel,
and who had taken to their own small boat.
From the state of the wind and sea there is little
probability that this boat could have made the land,
and great praise is due to the crew of the lifeboat
for the promptitude they displayed. The vessel
was the sloop Robert flood, of Newcastle-on-Tyne,
and was bound from Glasgow to Burlington with a
cargo of cast iron pipes.

DARING GAROTTE ROBBERY NEAR DERBY.—One
of the most daring garotte robberies ever perpetrated
took place on Monday evening last, about a mile and a half
from Derby, and the atrocious act has causodgreat sensation
in the neighbourhood. It appears that Mr. Samuel Walter
Cox (brother to Mr. W. T. Cox, M.P., Derby, and a mem-
ber of the Town Council) lives at Spondon-lodge, three
miles from Derby. He is eeheesefactor in an extensive
way of business, his warehouses being at Derby. It has
been Mr. Cox's habit to drive home in the evening, but on
Monday night he walked home, leaving Derby about 8
o'clock. He had got as far as Cherry-tree-hill, about
a mile and a half from Derby, at a spot called " The
Bushes," when ho was suddenly encountered by two
ruffians. One walked quickly past him, and the other put
his hands round his throat. The other ruffian then began
rifling his pockets, after Mr. Cox was knocked down by
them and became insensible on the road. They beat him
very much about his body with their fists, and then took
from his pockets the following large sums of money :—T wo
£5 Bank of England notes, three £5 Derby and Derbyshire
bank notes, five sovereigns, three half-sovereigns, throe
shillings, a gold watch with a black riband attached, a
penknife, and three keys. After the robbery the garotters
pushed Mr. Cox, who was still insensible, into the ditch,
and then ran away. About nine o'clock the same evening
a man named Neadin was going in the direction of Spon-
don, from Derby, when he discovered Mr. Cox in the
ditch, and carried hiin to his own residence. Neadin had
previously met two men going in great haste towards
Derby. Information was immediately given to Sergeant
Hallam, of the Derbyshire contabulary, stationed at Spon-
don, who, after seeing Mr. Cox, hastened on to Derby, and
gave information to the borough and county police. Mr.
Fox, chief constable of the county, Mr. Whieldon, super-
intendent, and other officers, were busy all night in scour-
ing the neighbourhood, but, up to noon yesterday, we
regret to say, their efforts had not been successful in cap-
turing the perpetrators of this diabolical outrage. Mr
Cox is much injured.
