THE MAIL STEAM-SHIP for AUSTRALIA,
August 4, 1854.—The magnlflceat screw steamship " CAL-
CUTTA," 1,800 tons, Captain J. GOODALL, another of tho fine fleet
belonging to the General Screw Steam Shipping Company, will be
despatched with her Majesty's Malls for Adelaide, Port-Philip, and
gydn,y, on the 4th August next. This fine vessel has maintained
her high reputation for rapid sa,ling and punctuality, and is a sister
ship to the " Argo." which has made the quickest v .gage to and from
Australia up to this time. The Calcuttahas been employed carrying
the Mails to and from England and Calcutta, and from,her superior
sailing and steaming qualities, it may be fairly assumed that she will
make the run in 60 days. Rates of Passage from 30 to 100 guineas.
She will be followed, on the 4th of October, by the Clams, of 2,500
tons. Full particulars as to Freight and Passage Money at the Com-
pany's Offices, t 7 Cannon-street, City.

STEAM TO THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
In compliance with numerous applications from persons de-
siring to proceed to the Cape of Gooll Hope, the Directors of the
General Screw Steam Shipping Company have determined to de-
,patch their Steam ship " CAVE OF GOOD HOPE" to TABLE
B iY, on the 7th of July next. The "Cape of Good Hope," 11. D.
3xwsoN, Commander, has just returned from a most successful
voyage to Constantinople with passengers and general cargo, is 700
tons lutrthen, and 100 horse-pow, r Built by Messrs. Mare & Co.,
A Blackwall, and an extremely fast shin. Her accommodations for
passengers are little if at all inferior to this Company's first-class
steam ships so well known OR the Cape and Calcutta line. The rates
of passage money are,---First Class, 60 and 65 Guineas each; Second
Class 35 to 45 Guineas each. The ship will load and sail from South-
ampton. As her capacity for passengers and freight is limited, early
application should be made to the Company's Offices, 27, Cannon-
street, City.

some Austrians in a wine shop. In the melee two of
the Sidon's men were stabbed (one in the side and one

the Queen, underwent the annual official inspection on
Tuesday at Forton, near Gosport, by Major-General
Simpson, attended by Colonel Owen, Deputy-Adjutant-
General of the Royal Marine forces. The corps being
drained of nearly all its effective men, there was but a
skeleton division to inspect, but it passed muster very
satisfactorily. The artillery companies of the corps,
under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Phillips, were
inspected by the same officers yesterday at their head-
quarter barracks, Portsmouth, and also In great gunnery
practice at the Fire-barn on Southsea-common. These
also went through their drills and gunnery evolutions

Guards, together with a troop of Horse Artillery and a

fantry and three of cavalry. The weekly field-days in
the Phcenix-park are now greatly shorn of their old at-
tractions, especially to strangers visiting the Irish capi-
tal, to whom a " sham fight" on the Fifteen Acres
formed au agreeable novelty.
