PLYMOUTH, MARCH 14.—Two companies of her Ma-
jesty's 14th Regiment of Foot left our garrison yester-
day morning for Cardiff, by way of Ivy-bridge, where
they stayed for the night, and will proceed by the South
Devon and Bristol and Exeter Railways to-day to Bris-
tol. Two more companies left this morning for New-
port, in South Wales. Four companies leave to morrow
morning for Carmarthen, and the head-quarters will
leave on Thursday morning. The regiment has been
very much liked during its stay here, the men having
been exceedingly well conducted. The 54th Regiment
arc expected here to-morrow afternoon from Exeter.
WOOLWICH, MARCH 14.—ROTAL ARTlLLERY.—Lieu-
tenant Colomb, two non-commissioned officers, and
76 gunners, left Woolwich shortly after two o'clock
this morning, and proceeded by one of the Water-
men's steam-packets to Hungerford Market, and
marched thence to Euston-square, for conveyance by
train to Liverpool, en route to Dublin, to augment the
Royal Artillery at that capital, where they would arrive
previous to the 17th instant. Cap.ain Tylee's company,
3d battalion, has been placed under orders to embark for
Malta, not for the purpose of relieving either of the two
companies already at that station, but to augment the
strength of the Royal Artillery at that important posi-
tion in the Mediterranean. The whole of the Royal
Horse Artillery assembled in the east square of the
garrison to-day, in heavy marching order, for the in-
spection of the Commandant; and at a quarter past that
hour Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Downman, C. 8.,
K.C.H., attended by his staff, arrived, and, after minutely
inspecting the men and horses, proceeded with the troops
to Blackheath and back.

AMERICAN IcE.—The vessel Washington Irving,
arrived at the port of Liverpool from Boston, United
States, has brought, as a portion. of her cargo, 637 tons
weight in bulk of ice, the produce of the United States of
America. As this is the first arrival of the kind during
the present year, it is necessarily of much interest, and
deserving of particular remark. The importation of this
article, which has so recently formed an item in the list
of merchandise brought from the United States, was last
year confined to very few instances, and not at all to be
compared to the immense influx during the previous
year, which was, no doubt, correctly ascribed to the
severity of the previous winter in this country having
enabled the scorers of ice in this metropolis and else-
where to lay in ample stocks of the article, and the con-
sequent non-requirement of any further very large
supplies from extraneous sources. Although the winter
just brought to a cloee was particularly severe for a few
days,
it was, generally speaking, of so comparatively
mild a character, as to afford no such opportunities for
a continual and extensive store of ice as the previous

this importation is the early

been as yet no arrivals of ice this year from the northern
countries of Europe.
[ADvaiwristastaNr.]—AN AFFECTION OP THE SPINE
AND LIMBS CURED BY HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND
pave Mrs. Reynolds, landlady of the William the
Fourth Inn, St. Ives, Hunts, had been ill for fourteen
months with an affection of the spine, her feet and legs
were dreadfully swoollen, and she became perfectly
helpless. Several eminent surgeons and physicians at-
tended her, under whose care she derived no benefit,
but by the recommendation of Mr. Prior, druggist, Bed-
ford, she tried Holloway's Pills and Ointment. These
fine medicines, in about nine weeks, so completely re-
stored her to health and strength, that she is now able
to resume the duties of her household with ease and

"
January, and on the day following, during a tremendous
sea, the crew, fifteen in number, and five Germans,
whom they had picked off a wreck, were all washed off
and lost. The Germans belonged to the Lydia, of
Embden, and were picked up in the North Sea to suffer
another and fatal shipwreck. —Scotsman.
PROPOSED NEW COLLEGE AT CAMBRIDGE.—The
Cambridge Board of Education has just issued its re-
port, which states that the attention of the board has
been again directed to the important subject of the es-
tablishment of a training college at Cambridge. It was
thought that, in consequence of the peculiar advantage
which Cambridge offered for such an institution, it
would be desirable to establish there a central training
school for masters, which should be connected not only
with the diocese of Ely, but also with the neighbouring
dioceses of Norwich and Rochester. The board have
appointed the Very Rev. the Dean of Ely (Dr. Pea-
cock), the Master of Jesus College (Dr. French), and
the Rev. Henry Goodwin, B.
Fellow and Tutor of
Caius College, to act with other gentlemen as a sub•
committee, to consider in what manner tho plan may
best be carried into effect. The bishops of the three
dioceses above named have expressed their general
approval of this design.
RAILWAY IRON.—An importation of nearly 400
tons of railway iron has taken place by a vessel arrived
froze, New Yurk. This is one of several arrivals of the
kind which hc.s recently taken place from the United
State. of America.
