most severe and unqualified reprelieiiSiOn. These, I
we cannot but think most reprehensible passages,
relate to incidents associated—the one with the
Countess of Chaumont, the other with the Countess
of Wolverton. A couple of very noble Countesses
truly ! Without entering into the horrid details
of the criminality here imagined and delineated—
a passing word may be tolerated as sufficiently ex-
planatory to justify the sternness of our recent
phrases of condemnation. The Countess of Chau-
mont to whom Julian Calder imagines himself to
have been married, is depicted in the amiable guise
of a bigamist, perfectly aware of the existence of
her first husband—so that her two children by
Julian are, as a natural consequence, illegi-
timate. The other incident referred to is of
a nature still more deplorable —it describes
the Countess of Wolverton running away with
Captain Evelyn Staunton, at the very time she
makes her adulterOus elopement with him, know-
ing him to be the husband of her own daughter,
and the father of her two grandchildren. Now,
imaginary occurrences like these, we regard as
absolutely revolting—and as such we speak of them
here (for greater emphasis let us repeat what we
have observed already) in language of the most
severe and unqualified reprehension. It is dis-
tressing also to find in an earlier chapter of " Bo-
kinga"the following harsh, and even (considering
the delicate and dependent condition of the class)
cruel caricature of

THE WAR.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.
The Vulcan, the Tonning, and the Kangaroo steam
troop-ships are ordered to embark infantry and cavalry,
the latter to supply the loss of those who, went out in
the Europa, on or about Saturday next, at Portsmouth,
for the seat of war in the East.
The Medina steam-packet left Portsmouth on Satur-
day afternoon for the Black Sea, with mails for the fleet,
and entered Plymouth Sound yesterday morning.
Her Majesty's brig Mariner, Captain Johnson, went
from Hainoaze into Plymouth Sound, and was paid ad-
vance of wages there on Saturday. She will probably
sail to-day for the white Sea.
The Calcutta, 84, Captain Stopford, having been
rigged, was warped to ,the hulk Vigo, at Plymouth, on
Saturday, to receive her crew.
The crew of the frigate Indefatigable, SO, Captain
Hope, at Plymouth, got tops and lower rigging over the
mast-heads on Friday.
The Hornet, screw steam-sloop, Commander Frederick
A. Campbell, has completed her crew in every respect,
and more men offered their services for her, owing to
the popularity of her commander, than were required
for her full complement. She will be out of the hands
of the dockyard authorities on Thursday, the 29th inst.,
and is expected to join the fleet in the Baltic.
The slip from which the Royal Albert, 131, screw
steam-ship, was recently launched at Woolwich Dock-
yard, having been completely cleared out, an order has
been received to commence immediately the laying down
of another screw steam-vessel, to be named the Scout,
and to be about 1,500 tons burden, on similar lines, and
to carry the same number of guns of large calibre as
the Pearl, 20, screw steam-corvette, building on the ad-
joining
slip.
An inquiry has been instituted by an Admiralty order
into the complaint made by the crew of the Star, 16,
Commander C. W. Warren. Vice-Admiral the Hon.
Jocelyn Percy, Commander-in-Chief at Sheerness, has
been engaged for two days past in this case. The re-
sult
the ship's companyatipyommander Warren has been reprimanded,
and
the ship's company likewise, by the Admiral. On
being informed that their old com-
mander was to proceed to sea after she was refitted,
some of the seamen declared theywould rather lose their
wages for the last commission than subject themselves
to the treatment they have before experienced at his
hands, and they complain that they have not been paid
any wages since their return home, as in the case of the
Waterwitch. Three of the crew have already miunage4
to run away.
The undermentioned officers passed the quarterly
examination in steam at the Royal Naval College, Ports-
mouth, and received certificates on Saturday :
Commanders D. Miller and F. H. Shortt ; Messrs.
W. H. Liddell, H. B. Phillimore, J. A. Poland, and
W. F. Lee (mates, R.N.), and Second Lieutenant R.
Woollcombe, Royal Marines.
The following appointments have been made :
Lieutenant Lawrence Dennehy (1824), serving in a
contract steam-vessel, to be agent for transports.
Master James Bowler (1842), recently serving in the
Hercules Government emigrant-ship, to the Colossus,
80, screw steam-ship at Portsmouth.
Second Master Martin Roberts (1844), from the Coast-
guard, to the Volcano, now converted into a floating
factory at Woolwich, for service with the fleet under the
command of Sir Charles Napier in the Baltic.
Captain-Superintendent Christopher Wyvill left Sheer-
ness for Chatham-yard, on service, yesterday morning in
the Wildfire, immediately on the information being tele-
graphed of the fire having taken place there.
Captain-Superintendent John J. Fricker arrived at
Sheerness on Saturday, and commenced his duties as
Captain-Superintendent. He also went to Chatham
yesterday morning in the Wildfire.
The damage which theTynemouth screw transport sus-
tained by being in collision with the Galeed, of Salcombe,
has been made good, and her losses replaced by the Sheer-
ness dockyard authorities. At 7 30 p.m. on Saturday,
the Adder steam-vessel was sent alongside to assist her to
sea, when an order was sent from Captain Lord Frede-
rick A. Kerr, in command of the flag-ship Waterloo,
directing her commander not to proceed to sea until fur-
ther orders, as a messenger had arrived from Dept-
ford with orders for her to await the arrival of the steam-
vessel Widgeon, with the victualling lighter Wight, both
laden with oats, iu puncheons weighing about 6001b5.,
for troop forage for Constantinople, The Widgeon and
Wight arrived at Sheerness at 1 a.m. yesterday from
Deptford, and transhipped on board the Tynemouth 50'
puncheons of oats. At 1 p.m. she wag taken in tow by
them for the Downs. The Adder left her at the Mouse
at 330 p.m. The Widgeon would assist her through
the Downs. This ship during her short stay at Sheer-
ness has been an object of great interest to naval and
military officers, to the former for her superior and most
efficient build as a troop transport, to the latter for the
unprecedented accommodation for troops. She is calcu-
lated to carry with every convenience 1,000 men, with
their provisions, camp equipage, &c., and in addition
thereto 1,000 tons of cargo under the troop-deck. She
has an auxiliary steam power of two engines of 40-horse
power each (nominal), the two being capable of working
up to from 80 to 200-horse power, and thereby pro-
pelling the ship, should she get becalmed, at the
rate of seven knots per hour. Her engines were
constructed and set up by Hawthorn, Brothers, of
Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and the ship was built by
Niessrs. Cools and Parkinson, of the same place.
The following officers go out in her in charge of the
ambulance corps :—Captain John James Grant, in corn-
inand ; Captain John P. Pigot, Adjutant William Henry,
Staff-assistant-surgeon Peter Nevill Jackson, and Mr.
R. 13. Nicklin, Photographer to her Majesty's army in
the East. The Tynemouth set on her steam power at
the Nore, and passed the Mouse lighvessel at 3.30 p.m.
Her screw has 11 feet dip and 14 feet pitch, the average
revolutions being 65 to 70 per minute.
The Rhadamanthus, paddlewheel steam storeship,
Mater-Commander John Belem, left Woolwich at half-
past 5 o'clock p.m. on. Saturday for Portsmouth, with
the engines of the Harrier, screw steam-sloop, fitting at
that port.
The Kate, hired for the purpose of conveying the
guns of large calibre cast by Messrs. Walker and Co.,
of the Lowmoor Company, for the Sultan, having com-
pleted taking on board the number of tons she had con-
tracted for, has left Woolwich with the guns for Con-
stantinople.
Sergeant-Major John Gilles, of the Repository De
partment at Woolwich, who had his services verified
on Friday by a board of field officers, previous to his
being pensioned on being discharged from the service, is
the last of those who served in the ranks of the Royal
Artillery at the battle of Waterloo. John Gilles enlisted
iu the Royal Regiment of Artillery in 1803, and conse-
quently has been on active service for the long period of
40 years.
Captain Irving's company, 12th battalion, arrived in
Woolwich garrison at 5 p.m. on Saturday from Shoe-
buryness, and are expected to embark, with a number
of siege guns and about 100 horses, in a few days for
the seat of war in the East.
The arrangements for the embarkation of horses at
Woolwich for the seat of war in the East have been so
satisfactorily made that the horses reached their desti-
nation, according to the returns up to the present time,
with a loss of only 4 per cent. Upwards of 1,000 trusses
of hay were inspected on Friday at Deptford previ-
ous to being put on board store steam-vessels for convey-
ance to Malta and Turkey.
1 sergeant, 1 corporal, and 20 privates, for the Colos-
sus, 80, screw steam-ship, and 20 privates, volunteers
from the 'Woolwich division of Royal Marines for the
Royal Marine Artillery, are to leave Woolwich this
morning for Portsmouth, in charge of Captain Harrison,
who is posted to the Impdrieuse, 50, screw steam-frigate,
serving with the Baltic fleet, in the room of Brevet-
Major Stransham, promoted to be Lieutenant-Colonel.
Captain Harrison will take a passage to the Baltic in
one of the vessels under orders for that sea after deliver-
ing his charge of non-commissioned officers and men to
their respective destinations.
The first division of the 27th (Enniskillen) Regiment
left the Royal barracks, Dublin, on Friday, for Cork,
cohere they are to embark for Calcutta on the 29th and
30th inst. The detachment consisted of' ono field officer,
five captains, eight subalterns, two staff, 20 sergeants,
25 corporals, two drummers, and 352 privates, who
were conveyed to their destination by a special train,
which started from the King'sbridge terminus at 9 a.m.
Previous to marching off, the arms, accoutrements, and
ammunition were, as usual, inspected by the officer
commanding the division, and ascertained to be in corn-
Plete order ; each soldier was in possession of 60 rounds
of service ammunition and 72 percussion caps. The re-
maining division left on Saturday morning at the came
hour. The regiment will be conveyed to India by the
troop-ships Barham, Soubetar, Southampton, and Char-
lotte. This regiment is greatly under its establishment,
in consequence of the number of volunteers given by it
to the regiments now serving in Turkey. It will go out
700 strong, including non-commissioned officers, drum•
mers, and rank and file. .
