THE CONVEYANCE OF TROOPS TO THE EAST.—Cap-
tain Anthony Wilson, of the Orinoco, has addressed the
following report of his ship's voyage to Captain Chap-
pell, E.N. It is dated Malta-harbour, April 26 :—" I
have to report to you the arrival of this ship at Malta,
at 7 o'clock this morning. I arrived at Gallipoli at
10 31 a.m. of the 21st inst., and at 3 30 p.m., in com-
pliance with an order from Sir G. Brown, proceeded to
Constantinople, where I arrived at daylight the follow-
ing morning. The troops, baggage, &c., were all
landed in the course of the day, and at 6 20 p.m., I
weighed and proceeded to Malta. At 830 a.m. of the
foilowing day (April 23), just above the entrance of the
Dardanelles, I met and spoke the Trent, having the
steamer Tonning in tow, and shortly afterwards the
Medway ; they would both in all probability arrive
at Constantinople the following morning. I also
passed on the same day the English steamers Emperor
and Arabian, going up the Dardanelles, and on the 24th
instant, off Cerigo, the General Screw Company's
steamer Golden Fleece, steering for the north-east. It
will be requisite to remain here two days for the purpose
of sweeping flues, and also to effect some repairs to the
boilers, but I hope to get away on Friday, the 28th inst.
I requested Admiral Stuart to furnish us with sufficient
coal here to enable us to reach England, but as he de-
clined doing so, I shall have to put into Gibraltar. Every-
thing has gene well during the voyage, and perhaps I
might mention that before leaving the ship the com-
manding officer of the troops brought to me the report
he had prepared to forward to the Admiralty, expressing
in the warmest terms the satisfaction he felt at the
arrangements of the company on board the Orinoco."

THE MILITIA.
The Royal Denbigh Rifle Militia will assemble for 28
days' training at Wrexham, under the command of Col.
Biddulph, M.P., on the 10th inst. A
i number of volun-
teers have been receiving instruction n drill at the head-
quarters under the adjutant to qualify themselves as in-
structors during the training. The progress made by
them has been extraordinary.
The secont regiment of Somerset Militia assembled at
Bath on Tuesday for the purpose of commencing their
28 days' drill. The men, indeed, came pouring in as
early as Monday morning, and one company, under
Captain Stanley, marched in on Tuesday morning, by
the Wells road, preceded by drums and fifes, and
cheering again and again for the Queen. The regiment,
which attained great proficiency last year, and received
the unqualified approbation of the reviewing officer, has
been considerably thinned by volunteering into the line,
but new recruits have been readily obtained, and many
have come in daily since the assemblirg of the different
companies, so that the regiment now musters nearly
1,000 strong, and there is every reason to believe it will
in a few days present its full complement. Last year the
drill was conducted by abody of men from the army, but
the exigencies of war leave this duty to be performed
now by the regimental staff, which is quite efficient, and
comprises several experienced veterans. The regiment
is under the command of Colonel Pinney, M.P., and the
officers have engaged a commodious house in Brock-
street for their mess. In order to give eclat to their
proceedings, they have also engaged an excellent band
of Germans, consisting of about 20 performers, who not
only accompany the regiment to drill, but will play three
evenings a-week in the grounds of the Royal Circus for
the amusement of the public. The citizens on their part
have invited the officers to a grand ball, to ba held at
the Assembly-rooms. The Bath Royal Literary and
Scientific Institution has also been thrown open to the
officers during their stay, and arrangements made by the
clergy and others, by which week-day evening instruc-
tion in reading, writing, arithmetic, and other branches
of useful knowledge, and means of religious improve-
ment, will be afforded to the men. An excellent hos-
pital has also been established, and the regiment will
attend Divine service at Trinity Church on Sunday
afternoons.
The Royal Cornwall and Devon Miners Artillery
Militia, under Sir Coleman Rashleigh, Bart., Lieutenant-
Colonel Commandant, have assembled at Falmouth
for a month's training, and received their clothing on
Thursday, preparatory to drill. From the number of
recruits among them it is presumed the regiment will
complete its full number this year. A quantity of am-
munition and other materiel for the use of tlie garrison
and for the artillery and infantry practice of the militia
has been lodged at Pendennis Castle, where the latter
force is stationed for duty, with the regular Ordnance
Company, under Captain De Rinzy.
The South Notts Yeomanry Cavalry, under the com-
mand of Colonel Holden, assembled on Thursday for
eight day's training in Bulwell Forest, near Tottingham.
The men looked remarkably well in their Hussar uni-
forms. They will be reviewed on the 11th inst.
The Sherwood Rangers, commanded by ale Duke of
Newcastle, assembled at Newark on Thursday for eight
days' training.
The 3d West York Militia, at Doncaster, have com-
pleted a fortnight of their second period of t^aining, and
during the last day or two have been exercised in firing
practice, five rounds of blank cartridges be ng supplied
to each man on each day. They are rapicity
acquiring
the methods of firing in rank, in retreat, and in resisting
cavalry. The regiment will be reviewed byLieutenant-
Colonel Slade, inspecting field officer, next week.

CANOM fIosPITAL.—The annual general meeting of
the friends of this ibstitution was held on Monday, in
the board room of the hospital, West Brompton ;' the
Ron, Colonel Ogilvy in the chair. The report stated
that the institution was commenced in the early part of
1851, for the relief of poor persons afflicted with cancer ' •
and to show the need of an hospital for such a disease
especially, no less than 650 sufferers from all parts of the
country had come to seek relief, while increased atten-
tion had been given to the disease from- the various hos-
pital surgeons, and the sympathies of the public generally
enlisted, in the hope that there would be found an anti-
dote to the fearful ravages-of that malady, cancer. The
committee felt very grateful that the subscriptions during
the last year had placed 1,832/. Bs. sd. at their disposal.
Since 1851. no less than 650 had been treated, and many
greatly-benefitted. -Several gentlemen addressed the
meeting in su por
pt of the respective resolutionsthe_,.report.
which:
were carried, and comprised the adoption of

should protest formally against such an employment of
force.
7. The ships of the belligerent Powers may import into,
and export from, the ports of Sweden, all commodities
and merchandise, provided their importation or exporta-
tion be permitted by the general Custom-house tariff; with
the exception of articles contraband of war.
8. All Swedish subjects are forbidden to arm or equip
vessels, as privateers, against any of the belligerent Powers,
their subjects, and property, or to take part in the equip-
went of vessels intended for that purpose. They are equally
forbidden to serve on board any foreign privateer.
9. No foreign privateer shall be allowed to enter a
Swedish port, or to stay in our roads. Prizes are not to
be taken into Swedish ports, except in cases of proved dis-
tress. Our subjects are also forbidden to buy captured
effects of any kind from foreign privateers.
10. When a captain, sailing without escort, is met in
open sea by any vessel of war of ono of the belligerent
Powers having right to examine his ship's papers, he must
neither refuse nor endeavour to avoid the search, but is
bound to produce his papers loyally and without evasion,
and to take care that none of the documents concerning
the ship or its cargo be abstracted or thrown into the sea,
either after the vessel is hailed, or during the search.
11. When merchant vessels sail under escort of vessels of
war, the captains must act in conformity with the pre-
scriptions of the Royal Ordinance of 10th June, 1812.
12. The captain, who observes scrupulously all the above
regulations is entitled to enjoy, in accordance with treaties
and the law of nations, a free and uninterrupted naviga-
tion, and if he be, notwithstanding, molested, he has a
right to expect the most energetic support on the part of
our ministers and consuls abroad in all his just attempts to
obtain reparation and indemnification ; whereas the captain
who omits or neglects to observe what is above prescribed
for his guidance, will only have himself to blame for the
unpleasant consequences of his negligence, without hope of
our support and protection.
13. In case of the seizure of a Swedish vessel, the Cap-
tain should remit to the Swedish Consul or Vice-Consul,
if there be one in the port where his ship has been brought,
or, in default, to the nearest Swedish Consul or Vice-
Consul, a faithful and duly certified report of the circum-
stances of the capture, with all its details.
We direct and order all those whom it may concern to
conform themselves exactly to the above. In faith of which
we have signed the present with our hand and have affixed
thereto our Royal seal.
