the non-commissioned officers in the execution of their

This is the second time that the prisoner has been tried
for a similar offence.

of any foreign Power, and the other Cabinets of
Europe can have no desire but that the Spaniards
snould settle their own affairs. In the event, how-
ever, of occurrences which might affect the rela-
tions or engagements subsisting between the
Crown of Spain and foreign States, we may
be permitted to hope that the alliance now in
full force and activity between this country.
and France would oppose an effectual and salu-
tary barrier to that struggle of rival influences
at Madrid which has so often proved alike
injurious to Spain and to ourselves. In some
respects the dissolution of the fitinily tie between
the reigning dynasties of France and Spain
is of advantage to the independence of the
latter kingdom ; and, although the relations of those
States must ever remain of a close and friendly
character, the descendant of Louis XIV. in Spain
have no longer any claim for support in their mis-
deeds from that parent stock which placed them
on the throne, and has more than once maintained
them against the just resentments of their sub-
jects.—Times.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.
The steam gun vessels to operate against the Russians
in the Baltic are rapidly approaching completion, the
Arrow, Curlew, Wrangler, and Beagle having been
launched in the port of London ; the first three are
nearly ready for sea. The Swallow, launched at Devon-
port, is being brought forward with all expedition.
The clipper cutter Wool Packet, John M. Jackson
commander, has been appointed to convey wines, spirits,
and dry goods out for the Baltic fleet. This has been
done at the particular solicitation of a number of naval
officers in command in the Baltic. The Wool Packet
sailed from Sheerness yesterday, with a fine fresh breeze
from west-south-west.
The Agincourt and Hotspur arrived at Spithead yes-
terday morning with detachments of troops for the East
Indies.
The hired screw steam-transport Golden Fleece,
Stewart master, in charge of Commander Mason, Ad-
miralty agent, arrived at Spithead yesterday from Tur-
key. She left Varna on the 26th ult., having landed
the 38th Foot from Scutari on the previous day. The
first division of the combined forces was to leave Varna
on the 30th of June. The ships at Varna when the
Golden Fleece left were the Bellerophon, 78, Capt. Lord
George Paulet ; London, 90, Captain Eden ; Arethusa,
50, Captain Symons ; Simoom, 18, Captain Henry
Smith ; Vengeance, 84, Captain Lord Edward Russ
sell ; and the French Trident, Henry IV., and
Bayard. The troops were all very healthy. There
was a good supply of water, and plenty of fresh pro-
visions obtainable. The Turks were in high spirits at
the allied forces being so near them. The Golden Fleece
conveyed Mussa Pasha, late Governor of Silistria,
his aide-de-camp, and baggage, from Varna to Con-
stantinople ; also 60 Turks who had been wounded at Si-
listria. She left Constantinople onTuesday, June 27; on
the 28th she passed the transports 89, 91, 90, and 101,
in succession as named, beating through the Douro Pas-
sage; on the same date the transport 98, off Poulo Bello.
She arrived at Gibraltar on Tuesday, July 11, having had
strong head winds both in the Greek Archipelago and
Mediterranean, and had to stop twice to repair machi-
nery. She left Gibraltar July 12 ; passed the Orinoco,
with troops (the first battalion of the Rifle Brigade), on
July 18; also a large steamer off Ushant. "Up to the
time of our leaving Varna (says an officer of the Golden
Fleece) there was great dissatisfaction about the postal
arrangements (or rather the want of them,) as it was a
matter of impossibiiity to get letters. On the 24th June
there was upwards of one ton of letters accumulated at
Constantinople from England, but no one had authority
to break the seals on the bags. Letters were sent from
Scutari to Constantinople, thence to Varna, then back,
and if we get letters six weeks old we considered our-
selves fortunate. The Golden Fleece goes to Southamp-
ton to be docked.

Sir Joseph Thackwell, accompanied by his aide-de-
camp, Major Roche, of Baliymonies, has arrived at his
residence at A ghada, Cork, where he makes a limited
stay. Sir. Joseph has just returned from inspecting the
cavalry stationed in Newbridge.
THE ARMY List —lt may not yet be generally known
that a new and extraordinary feature has been introduced
into this official periodical. The Secretary at War an-
nounces be will take approved advertisements at 21. per
page. In the number of this month there are 12 pages.
W presume the price is intended to be reduced.

THE MILITIA.
The non-commissioned officers and privates of the
Pembrokeshire Artillery Militia have presented to their
commanding officer, Col. Owen, the following address :
—" We, the non-commissioned officers and privates' of
the Royal Pembrokeshire Artillery Militia, having heard
that the Royal Monmouth Regiment of Militia have volun-
teered for any duty which may be required of them, and
are to take the duty at Pembroke Dock, are determined
not to be outdone in loyalty to our Queen, or zeal for
the service generally, and respectfully beg to tender our
services for garrison or any other duty her Majesty may
think proper to command." Capt. Child had offered to
give an additional sum over the bounty to induce men to
volunteer as a company with him to do duty in any part
of the country, but this generous offer has been declined
with thanks by the Secretary at War.

The Admiralty yacht Black Eagle, Master Commander
Petley, and the Admiralty yacht-tender Vivid, Master
Commander Allen, left Dover yesterday afternoon—the
farmer for Portsmouth and the latter for Woolwich, all
the French troops having embarked at Calais.
The Rhadamanthus, 4 guns, paddle-wheel steam tran-
sport, Master Commander John Belam, is now at
Chatham, loading timber for the royal yacht now build-
ing at her Majesty's yard, Pembroke. The Rhadaman-
thus will assist the Melampus store-ship to Glasgow,
to take in the engines seized there as Russian property.
The Hornet, 16 guns, screw steam-sloop, Commander
Frederick A. Campbell, left the Nore on the 17th inst.,
at 7.50 p.m.

ness for sea on the 18th inst., at 10.15 a.m.

house as a Queen's pilot for the river Medway.
Notice has been given that the Fisgard, flag-ship at
Woolwich, will receive immediately 20 first-class boys
for entry for service in the fleet, all of whom must bring
their baptismal register, and those who have previously
served in the boats will be preferred.
One bombardier and 7 gunners of the Royal Marine
Artillery, and 1 colour sergeant, 1 drummer, and 10
privates of the Woolwich division of Royal Marines,
embarked at the dockyard, Woolwich, yesterday, for
service in the Spiteful, paddle-wheel steam-sloop, com-
missioned by Commander Kynaston at that part.
Notice has been posted at the Woolwich Dockyard-
gates, that "Letters for the Baltic fleet will be des-
patched by her Majesty's steam-frigate Vulture on the
24th inst., from Sheerness."

Letters for seamen, marines, and boys serving in the
Baltic will be fcrwarded by this opportunity, if poste'
in time, and marked " By her Majesty's steam-frigate
Vulture, Sheerness."

The postage of one penny must be paid on the letter
at the time of posting.
By the electric telegraph from Plymouth we learn
that the steam-ship Simla, with the 4th Light Dragoons,
came down harbour at 12, atld brought up inside Ply-
mouth breakwater at 1 o'clock yesterday. After receiv-
ing her powder and ammunition she sailed for the Medi-
terranean.

on Tuesday, by Mr. Brooks, Plymouth pilot, at 10 a.m.,

and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, left Ports-
mouth yesterday for the Baltic, with a full cargo of pro.
visions for the fleet, stores, &e.

from the Baltic, where he was serving as First Lieu-
tenant of the Conflict, and has taken up his commission
as Lieutenant Commander of the Beagle screw steam
gun-boat, having been appointed yesterday to the com-
mand of that vessel. In the posting-bills he has issued,
stating that he requires petty officers, seamen, and
stokers for navigating her and working her guns, he
states that the Conflict had taken 26 prizes.
Lieutenant Risk, now in command of the Tartarus,
4, paddle, will be transferred with his crew to another
