THE CYLINDERS FOR SEBASTOPOL.
The Robert Lowe, No. 134, transport ship, a splendid
screw steamer, built of iron,.arrived at Woolwich dock-
yard on Monday, and was taken alongside the wharf,-
wall of the basin yesterday, preparatory to receiving on
board the cylinders for conveyance to Sebastopol, to be
employed in blowing up the ships sunk by the Russians
at the mouth of the harbour. The cylinders were made
at Newcastle-on-Tyne, and not at Manchester, as was at
first stated, and they are hermetically sealed with iron of
an outward slightly convex, shape, with strong iron
handles, for the convenienoe of lifting or lowering them
by cranes or shears. In one end is a small hole for ad-
mitting the wire of the electrical battery, whichis strongly
protected with an iron covering, attached by nuts and
screws. The iron of the cylinder portion is half an inch
thick, and the hermetical covers 1 and 7-Bths of an inch
thick.

We have received accounts of the death by apoplexy,
at Sebastopol, of Lieutenant-Colonel Carson Alexander,
of the Royal Engineers, in which corps he served 41.
years.
Captain Albert Evelyn Rowley, of the Grenadier
Guards, whose death at Sebastopol has been announced,
was the second sou of air Charles Rowley, of Hill-house,
Berkshire, whose family have filled a distinguished posi-
tion in the naval annals of England.
The decrees of the Court of Admiralty for the sale of
the Lydia, W. H. Embleton late master, lying in the
West India Docks, and the Hendrika Jantina, at Glou-
cester, have been issued.
Orders have been issued from the War-office increasing
the bounty to volunteers for cavalry to 71. 15s: qd., and
to those who join infantry regiments to 6i. ; this increase
has brought numbers to join.
