THE ARMY.

We are sorry to hear that the use of the beat-skin cap,
hitherto worn by Fusileer regiments, is to be discontinued
so soon as the caps now in posse sion of those corps are worn
out.

The old colours of the Nth Regiment have been received
at Chelsea College, to which establishment they were trans-
mitted by Lieut.-Col. Ashmore, the commanding officer of
that excellent corps, with a request that they may be der-
sited there, and guarded by the old veterans of the army with
the same jealous care and zeal as protected and defended the=
when nntbrled before the enemy.
A report prevails that Major-General the Hon. Charles
Gore, who was promoted in the last Brevet, has been ap-
pointed to the command of the eastern district of Canada,
in succession to Major-General Sir James Archibald Hope,
K.C.B.

We learn from a friend in India that the gallant veteran,
Lord Gough, is in the enjoyment of excellent health and
spirits. He never fails to take his daily walk of seven miles,
and hence his continuance in such robust strength, for exer-
cise in India has always proved the best preventive to sick-
ness. His Lordship will not return to this country until the
expiration of his full term of service as Commander-in-Chief
of the Forces stationed in the East Indies.
The. Bill relative to limited enlistment, intended to be laid
before the House of Commons, will probably provide that for
the future those enlistments shall be confined, for Infantry to
ten years, for the Cavalry to twelve, and for the Royal Ar-
tillery to fourteen, with the option, if fit for further service,
of enlisting for a renewed period, at the expiration of the first,
or of becoming enrolled for occasional duty, upon the same
plan as the present embodied out-pensioners, receiving a
pension two years for one of such enrolment, added to their
service as soldiers. The men already enlisted are, we be-
lieve, to a certain extent to be allowed their discharge under
the same regulation.— United- See vice Gazette.

WOOL.

The public sales held since our last have been better
attended, and the biddings have ruled firm, at a trifling
improvement on late figures. Still, however, the actual
quantity disposed of has not been large. The imports
have consisted of only about 600 bales from Russia, 200
from Germany, and 300 from other quarters. In the
private contract market very little is doing, at barely
stationary prices.

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
HOPS AND BATS.—WRIGHT V. HUAIPHREY.
This was an action to recover compensation in da-
mages for injury sustained by several bags of
hops by rats. Mr. Baron Parke tried the case at
Maidstone, and the jury returned a verdict for the
plaintiff,—damages, 1301.
It appeared by the declaration that the defendant,
who is a warehouseman, had undertaken to warehouse
and safely deliver over to the plaintiff a quantity of
hops, which were assigned to his care. They were
handed over, but it was found that a number of
rats and mice had played sad havoc with them
while under defendant's care. It therefore became a
question for the decision of the jury, whether the
mice had or had not got into the hops before they were
consigned to the custody of the defendant ; such a
thing, it appeared not being uncommon. A witness
at the trial deposed that he weekly turned over the
hops, and that every care, by having cats and traps,
was taken to entrap mice and rats, showing that
every care had been taken of the hops. But a witness,
who was rather prone to exaggerate, deposed
that he slept in the warehouse, and could not say that
proper care was taken of the hops, as rats came forth
in shoals and traversed his prostrate body, and on one
occasion he awoke and found a rat's tail in his mouth,
which in his precipitation he bit off and swallowed.—
(Laughter.)
Mr. MONTAGUE CHAMBERS moved for a rule nisi, ,
on the ground of misdirection, and that the verdict
was against the evidence.
The COURT deferred its decision until the Learned
Judge had been consulted.
London, England, 1847-11-08

MARYLEBOIVE.

William Florence and George Watson were placed
at the bar upon the following charge :
It appeared from the evidence that on the same
morning, at two o'clock, as Bewley, 155 D, was on
duty near Portman-square, he saw the prisoners
loitering about in a most suspicious manner, when
knowing them to be bad characters, he asked them
what they were doing; they seemed greatly dis-
pleased at being thus questioned, and alleged that
they were two respectable tailors going to their
homes from the Victoria Theatre ; the officer, who
has the credit of being a good thieftaker, captured
the prisoners who had made an attempt to effect their
escape, and conveyed them to
.the station-house,
where they were searelug, sal is their possession
were found a " jemmy," called by Florence his
" toothpick," a lantern, a large knife, and a quantity
of lucifer matches ; they had the impudence to affirm
when before the inspector, that if the constable had
not pounced upon them at the time he did, they
should have "cracked a crib."
The prisoners, who had no defence to make, were
sent to the House of Correction, the former for three
and the latter for two months.

WESTMINSTER.

Yesterday a person of the name of Protheroe, who was
stated to have lately been a member of Parliament, was
charged with assaulting William James, a boot and shoe
maker, of Little rulteney -street, Golden-square.
Complainant stated, that having received information
that defendant was in the habit of decoying lads to his
residence, 3, Eccleston-square, Pimlico, for improper
purposes, he went there on the 28th ult., and rang the
bell, which was answered by the defendant himself, who
in reply as to whether he had any lads there, replied,
" No." Complainant then saw a lad with his dress in
disorder in the passage, and on his endeavouring to
force his way in defendant knocked him down, and ho
fell against the doorstep, but he held defendant by the
coat until one of the skirts came off. He was then ad-
mitted into the hall, and he said to Mr. Protheroe,
"Either lor you must send for a constable," and en-
deavoured to open the parlour window and call for the
police. Defendant then said, " You will expose me as
well as the lads, pray be calm. Do not consider me, but
my poor mother, who is 70 years of age. Anything
that I have done wrong to the lads, call at two o'clock
next day and settle it." Complainant said, "I shall
have my redress before a magistrate for the assault."
Somebody came to me to-day to offer a compensation.
William Pullen, the complainant's witness, stated
that he went to defendant's house with a letter, and there
saw him strike complainant, who had followed him into
the house, two or three times. He afterwards saw com-
plainant trying to force his way into the passage.
James Brown, the other witness, stated that as ho was
passing defendant's door on the evening of the assault,
he saw the complainant demanding admittance, and also
saw him knocked down. The complainant made some
remark which be did not hear, and eventually went into
the passage.
The defendant's solicitor, in answer to the charge,
said that his client was a most respi.....ble gentleman,
and late a Member of the House of Commons. He had
no doubt the present charge emanated in a vindictive
feeling consequent upon his client having recently trans-
ported a man for fourteen years, who had been connected
with a gang of miscreants who had been concocting in-
famous charges against him. With respect to the
assault, his cite'•t admitted that he had not only knocked
hiic clown once, as sworn to by the complainant, but a
socomi, time, and then turned him out.
Mr. BRODERIP said he considered that the complain-
ant's conduct, in going to defendant's house, endeavour-
ing to force his wayaud a making use of

We have again to speak of a dull market, and again to
submit a list of prices in which no change of any moment
will be found. This remark especially applies to the Chester
Cup, Camera Obscure alone, of the favourites, being in any
force, or making any advance. There was a little more
spirit in the Derby betting, Van Tromp having been backed
for some hundreds at 7 to 1 and 15 to 2, Epirute at
10 to 1, and Planet at 12 to 1, both freely; the Horn
of Chase for upwards of 2001. at 30 to 1 and 1,000

Black Dwarf, Christopher and Claredon at 1,000 to 15 each ;
and Will o' the Wisp at 2,000 to 35. Christopher's lame-

either serious or durable. Nothing fresh arose out of the

THE RIVER PLATE.

Extracts of letters received from the River Plate by the
William Peile, arrived at Liverpool.
BUENOS AYRES, Nov. 30, 184 G.—From the interior all is
quiet.

We are led to believe that General Urquiza is quite fa-
vourable to this Government, and we have r,s reason to doubt
our information, notwithstanding all sorts of rumours to the
contrary.
Rivera has opened his campaign with a few native fol-
lowers and some French basques. We are of opinion lie will
do nothing, although great hopes are entertained to the con-
trary at Monte Video.
Jerked beef and tallow are allowed to be exported from
this, by special permission from the Government.
DEC. B.—Political matters offer nothing new. An active
and strenuous opposition will be made by the Monte Video
circle to prevent any arrangement whilst they are in receipt
of 2,0001. per day from the Custom House.
Exchange-745. per doubloon; doubloons, 320 dolls.

(From the British Packet, Buenos Ayres paper, of Dec. 5.)
Messrs. Graham and G. L. Brent arrived in town on
Monday last from Paraguay, with dispatches for the United
States legation. It is understood that Signior Lopez had
not only issued a decree, as was before stated, suspending
hostilities against the confederation, but actuslly disbanded
his army. For the rest, the Paraguay ruler appears to be
as infatuated as ever with the idea of dissevering that pro-
vince from the national union ; and there is but too much
reason to apprehend that his eyes will not be opened to
the folly of such a pretension until he shall have shaken off
the ominous influence of Brazilian diplomacy. That Signior
Lopez should remain for any great length of time under
his present delusion we deem quite i•nprobable, and we look
forward with confidence to the period of pacification and re•
newal of commercial intercourse as the commencement of an
era fruitful of results demonstrative of the immense benefits
to be derived from preserving the national union unimpaired,
and equally conclusive as to the selfish motives by w.dch
the Imperial Cabinet is actuaied in encouraging a separat I. n
by which Paraguay would be the only loser, and Brazil the
sole f,.ainer.

Although the mission of Messrs. Graham and Brent has
failed to attain the main object for which it wns undertaken,
it will, neverthe'ess, be productive of one very useful result
in contributing to correct the erroneous impressions so pre-
valent abroad with respect to everything connected with
Paraguay, and thus leading to a just appreciation of the na-
ture of the question at issue.
