A letter had been received. in St. Louis from
Kansas, dated 14th ult., which states that the Free
State prisoners had been examined before Judge
Cato, and committed for trial at the April term of
the Court.
Several alarming riots occurred in Baltimore on
Sunday, growing out of the excited state of the
public mind on political matters. The most serious
disturbance was caused by a report that a gang of
New York rowdies had been imported by the
Democrats to participate in the election on Wed-
nesday. The head-quarters of the Empire Club
was a special object of hostility. It appears, how-
ever, that the assailing parties wet e repulsed. One
man was shot in the melee, and several others were
-wounded.

A heart-rending accident occurred on the 6th,
about half-past nine o'clock, by which three men
lost their lives. I; appears that the stoamboat Isaac
P. Smith ran a trip with the Glencove, in place of
the Armenia, from New York to Albany, and by
some means, at present unknown, burst her steam
chest when near Haverstraw. Tao engineer and
both the firemen were so near the chest that a per-
son on board who saw them says that they were
laterally flayed alive. None of them were killed,
but it is an utter impossibility for any of them to
recover.

We understand that a warrant from the Govern-
ment has been received by the French Consul,
authorising the arrest of .ugust Perat, Louis Gre-
let, and Eugene Grelet, charged with defraudine.
the It othschilds of some millions of francs. The
warrant directs that they be brought before the
Federal authorities of this city for an examination.
The warrant also includes the name of Charles
Carpentier, not yet arrested.—New York herald.
The _aoyal Gazette of Bermuda, of the 23d ult.,
says :—" Her Majesty's brig Atalanla, Commander
Pasley, has arrived from Halifax. The Atalanta
brought deapatches for the senior naval officer here.
Admiral Fanshawe wishes to be correctly informed
as to the state of the health of the island, and
whether it was likely any additional medical aid
will be requited. Her Majesty's steamer Hermes,
Commander Crayton, had arrived at Halifax from
Jamaica. She had lost her surgeon, gunner, pay-
master, carpenter, and several of her crew, by fever.
It was reported that the Hermes would leave Hali-
fax on her return to Jamaica. Yellow fever pre-
vailed to a great extent in the parishes of Warwick
and Somerset. It was carried to the island in June
last by H.M.S. Malacca."
By way of Bermuda we have news from Barba-
does and Grenada. The West Indian, of Barba-
does" of Aug. 25, says :—" The sugar crop will be
3,500 Mids., which is 1,000 less than that of 1855,
and 2,800 less than in 1854. Four or five weeks' rain
was required to give the young canes a fair start:'
From Guayama we learn from a correspondent
writing on the 9th, that cholera was still very pre-
valent there, carrying yellow fever and small-pox
in its train. Mayaguez was ravaged by cholera,
and many of its leading settlers had died of the
epidemic. Some of the planters had lost as many
as 100 labourers, and from 40 to 60 had been taken
from others. A severe drought prevailed there,
and the canes had suffered very much.
From South America the news is unimportant.
On the 14th of June last, a treaty, having for its
object the opening of the waters of the Upper
Paraguay river to navigation and commerce, was
duly ratified between Paraguay and Brazil. By
this treaty is opened an outlet for the gold, silver,
precious stones, and valuable woods of a region
hitherto almost unknown to commerce, but with
which the reports of Lieutenants Herndon and
Gibbon, of our navy, have made our readers some-
what familiar.

" RAILWAYS AND -REVOLVERS IN

GEORGIA."

A correspondent of the Times, alluding to the article
that has appeared in that journal under the above head,
says :—" When I read the letter which appeared in your
columns of yeetcrday under the above striking heading I
came at once to the deliberate conclusion that it was a
miserable hoax. The thing carries upon its face the
utmost improbability, It is, however, so cleverly con-
trived, so adroitly written, that a text reader in glancing
hurriedly over it would pronounce it at once a simply
stated account of a series of most calamitous occurrences,
from its very simplicity deserving of notice. But when
we examine, in the first place, into the object of such a
publication at this remote distance, and after so consi-
derable a period of time has elapsed, we can find no sane
reason for the writer's bottling np so horrible a secret—
one not made public even upon the very spot on which
it occurred he tells us—and bringing it across the wide
Atlantic to hand it to the English press, where it could
effect naught save to give the public a most erroneous
and brutal idea of a highly refined and civilised people.
It was either written as a hoax, a retribution of a de-
scription most to such a paper as the netts ; or
else for the vile purposes of party politic 3, to produce a
powerful effect by being introduced just before a Presi-
dential election, into the columns of a paper of such
careful and undoubted authority, and at the same time of
so world-renowned a reputation as yours possesses."
Another correspondent, "A New Englander," also
doubts the truth of the affair, he says Is it not
somewhat in the U.uncliausen vein of narrative
for us to be told that. in every one of five (luels
one of the parties `killed' outright, and the other un-
kjured ? No • wounds,' no halfway. work ; all as clean
and complete as in a play or a tale of fiction, and the
victory on the same side throughout."

11. Savings-bank accounts will form no part of con•
solidated battalion accounts ; they will be kept sepa-
rately by the officers commanding the depots.
" 12. When it is practicable, a separate orderly-room
will be allotted to each depot, or one room for ail the de-
pots forming a battalion, in which the duties referred to
above and in paragrapn 37 may be concurrently con-
ducted.

"13. Vacancies occurring among the non-commissioned
officers are to be filled up by the promotion of the most
deserving individuals in the regiment when it is serving
at home, or where ready communication can be had with
bead-quarters when the service companies are abroad.
In other cases the officer commanding the depot batta-
lion wil exercise his own discretion in filling up vacancies
at the dept from those men with the battalion, belong-
ing, of course, to the regiment in which the vacancy
occurs, and paying dae deference to the recommendation
of the senior officer of each regimental depot.
" 14. Officers employed on the recruiting service or
at the Royal Military College are to be considered as
belonging to the depot, and are to be reported accord-
ingly in the proper column in the returns.
" 15. All newly-appointed officers are to join the
depot, and officers will be sent to the service companies
to fill vacancies according to their position on the roster.
" 16. In cases of exchange, the officer will, according
to the rule of the service, join that partion of the
reai-
ment to which the oflic,:r with whom be excLan,;ed
belrn,cred.

"17. When officers return home from foreign service
on sick certiLate, and their absence on tbat account ex-
ceeds six months, they will be attached to &ha depots,
and their places be filled by officers of correTonding
rank from the depot.
" 8. 01Beers returning home on private affairs are not
to be placed on the strength of the depot without the
srec:al permission of his Royal Highness the General
Cothmunding-in Chief.
_ _

"19. The officer commanding the depot battalion ia
not to leave to the senior captain of each depot the selec-
tion of mon to be sect to the service companies, but
will himself regulate the detachment according to the
date of the euliAruent of the recruits, provided they are
in .all respects fit for service.

"20. With a view to prevent any misunderstanding
or delay, and in order that every officer may be prepared
to take his tour of duty when instructions are received
for him to join the service companies, a rester is to
be kept of the officers with the several ranks with the
depot companies, and it is to be considered as a general
rule that such officers as may have been for the longest
period at home or absent from the service cosnpanie',
whether on leave or with the depot, shall be the first to
proceed to the service companies.
"21. To insure a due observance of these orders, it is
directed that, on the left side of the names of the cap-
tains, lieutenants, antl ensigns respectively in the monthly
returns and effective states of the depot companies, the
figures 1,2, 3, &c., are to be marked in red ink, denot-
ing the regular succession of officers of each rank to join
the service companies; and the date of their joining the
depot is also to be inserted in the monthly returns in
the column appropriated for that purpose.
"22. The formation of bands of music at the quarters
of the depots is strictly forbidden, and the instructions
contained in the circular memorandum of Feb. 12, 1845,
are to be enforced. Four drummers being allowed on the
establishment of depots, six acting drummers will be per-
mitted, thus giving 10 drummers and acting drummer',
a number considered sufficient to meet the demands
whibh may occasionally be made by the service companies.
"23. As under the system of forming depots into bat-
talions a staff will be authorised for each battalion, the
major and assistant-surgeon, heretofore posted to the
depots, will remain with bead-quarters, and no acting
regimental staff ether of officers or non-commissioned
officers will be required.
"24. The returns formerly prescribed to be furnished
by the service and depot companies respectively when the
head-quarters were abroad, will also be furnished when
both portions of the segiment are at home.
"25. Commanding officers of depot battalions cannot
have too strong a sense of the importance of their corn.
mandr. The efficiency of the service companies of regi-
ments—a matter of first importance—will in a great de-
gree depend upon their exertions and abilities.
"26. All young officers will, in the first instance (as
directed in art. 15), join their respective depots, there to
be taught the rudiments of their profession, and on
tae degree of attention paid to their instruction will de-
pend their future advancement and their value as officers.
27. Exclu6ive of the ordinary drill, commanding offi-
cers will be held responsible that ail are well acquainted
with those parts of their duty contained in paragraphs 1
to 9, inclusive, of the circular memorandum dated the
4th of July, 1851 ; and for this purpose it is incumbent
upon them to assemble the officers at least once a week
to be examined by the majors or themselves on the sub-
jects there enumerated. Commanding officers should
also encourage young officers to qualify themselves in the
higher branches stated in the circular above alluded to,
without a knowledge of which they cannot expect pro-
motion. If any officer especially distinguishes himself
in zeal in the acquisition of professional knowledge, and
is considered to be a competent instructor of others, a
special report is to be made to the Inspector General.
"28. The system of 'squadding' should never be lost
sight of. Every subaltern and serjeant should possess a
squadbook, containing the names and numbers of each
man in his squad, together with the number of his arms
and accoutrements, which, under the order of the 17th
of April, 1856, should be the same. They are expected
to be acquainted with all men of the squad and to give
an account of them when required.
"29. Commanding officers of regiments will nominate
as the senior officer of the depot the captain whom they
may consider best qualified for the post, without refer-
ence to his standing in the regiment; the other three
captains will in the first instance be the three juniors of
that rank.

"Mess committees are enjoined to see that the trades-
men are paid weekly.
"In the event of the officers' messsmen being a sol-
dier, of course no credit should be given to him, as the
credit of the regiment should be cried down as provided
by the Mutiny Act,----By command,
"G. A. WETHER ALL, Adjutant• General."
The Medical Director-General of the Army, Dr. A.
Smith, arrived at Chatham oa Saturday morning for the
purpose of making an inspection of the military hospitals
at that garrison, consistinc; of Fort Pitt Hospital, the
Garrison Hospital, and the Sapplemental Hospital. The
Director-General, accompanied by Dr. J. R. Taylor,
C. 8., deputy-inspector•general of military hospitals, made
a minute inspection of the whole of the hospitals, and
assured Dr. Taylor and the other principal officers of the
several hospitals that ho was much pleased with the
state of the hospitals and the result of his examination.
The Daring, 12, Com. G. J. Napier (1352), was towed
to Chatham nock ard from the Nore on Frday evening
by the African steamer, fir the purpose of being paid oft•.
The Daring has been in commission several years, having
been attached to the West India squadron, under the
command of Rer-,r Admiral A. Fanshawe, C. 8., Com-
mander in Chief at that station. She left Jamaica on
the 27th of August, and arrived at the Nore on the 15th
inst.

Maj'zsty's ship Princess Rlyal, 91, Capt. Gifford,
went of out of Portsmouth harbour on Saturday after
noon, and anchored at Spithead ; as did the Urgent,
steam troop,hip, Commander Phillips, to await further
orders.
Her Majesty's steamsloop Fury, 6, Commander Leckie,
was swung for the adjustment of her compasses in Ports-
mouth harbour on SAurday, prior to receiving orders to
proceed on service.

The steam gunboat Bustard, Lieut. Collinson, left
Portsmouth on Saturday for the westward.
The Eying Fish, 6, screw despatch gunboat, Commander

A letter from Greytown, Nicaragua, dated the 20,:h
ult., gives the following movements of the British squa-
dron :—" The Imperieuse, 51, Capt. Watson, arrived on
Wedneiday, the 17th, from Aspinwall, and found lying
here the Orion, 91, Capt. Erskine ; the Pioneer, 6, Com-
mander Mends, in the outer anchorage.; the Archer, 17,
Capt. Heathcote ; Cossack, 20, Capt. Cockburn ; Intre-
pid, 6, Commander W. Wood ; and Victor, 6, Comman-
der De Horsey, with the Dee mail packet in the harbour.
The Pioneer sailed on the 18th ; the Arrogant, 46, Capt.
Lyster, is expected daily from Jamaica with a collier ;
the ships had completed provisions from an American
vessel chartered here for that purpose. I have seen by the
papers that the shipping in the West Indies is reported
to have been suffering much from yellow fever ; it is true
that two or three of tie ships have had fever on board,
and there have been some fatal oases, but .1 am happy in
being able to tell you that the squadron off Greytown
has been and is at this moment healthy."
The screw steamship St. Jean d'Acre, 101, Captain
George St. Vincent King, from the Baltic, last from
Portsmouth, arrived on Saturday at Plymouth, where
her crew iiro to b 3 paid *I;
The screw mortar-frigate Forth, 12, Capt. Lord John
Hay, C. 8., was warped to the sheer-hulk in Hamoaze on
Saturday, and had her masts taken out. The crew will
be paid off at Plymouth on Wednesday, and she will be
placed in the second-class steam reserve.
The screw steam-ship Exmouth, 91, Captain Harty
Byres, C. 8., in Plymouth Sound, is ready for sea, and
will probably sail to-eaorrow (Tuesday) for Lisbon and
Cadiz. The screw steam-ship Cmiar, 90, Captain John
Robb, frOm Portsmouth, is expected to join the Exmouth
in the Channel.

During the last week the City of London has been
deluged with letters from Mr. Sergeant Mere wether,
town-clerk, announcing that all persons on the Parlia-
mentary register who will repair to the chamberlain's.
office, Guildhall, between the hours of 11 and 3, on any
day during the present month, will be admitted to the
freedom of the City, and be put upon the poll to vote for
aldermen and common councilmen without any charge.
On Wednesday there was, in consequence, a great rusb
to the chamberlain's office, and during the greater part
of the day the chamberlain's large room was filled with
applicants waiting their turn. It appears that so early
a compliance with the town-clerk's invitation had not
been anticipated, and the requisite preparations had not
been made for the reception of the applicants. Upwards
of 240 were admitted to the freedom, and a great many
were tired of waiting and went away without under-
going the caremony. On Thursday morning very effi-
cient arrangements were ma :e by the chamberlain, as-
sisted by Mr. John Sewell, the clerk of the chamber.
Additional clerks were put on at different tables, and
at no time of the day was inconvenient pressure in the
slightest degree experienced, although upwards of 200
applied for the privilege. One of the applicants produced
the town-clerk's letter, which bore a number above
18,000, and it was supposed these figures represented
the number of persons entitled to admission ; but upon
inquiry it appeared that the actual number of persons
upon the register, who are not already either freemen or
liverymen, is not supposed to exceed 3,000. The free-
men entitled to vote at ward elections are estimated at
about 5,000 to 6,000.

The public are entirely indebted to the existing Court
of Common Council for thus throwing open the doors of
the corporation to the whole of the ratepaying inhabi-
tants of the City, It is every day spoken of as a fact,
significant of the growing spirit of liberality, that the
gentlemen who were most forward in advancing t 1243
onward movement were some of the oldest members of
the ;.crporation, 'mown ;as :steady sticklers for the
ancient rights and privileges of their order.
It is supposed, that 4,000 or 5,000 at least will take
advantage of the proffered boon during the present
month, so as to get their names on the register for the
ensuing year, in order that they may take part in the
elections of next St. Thomas's-day, which will exert a
considerable influence over the coming changes in the
corporate constitution of the City. It is looked upon to
be an unfortunate circumstance that the town•salerk's
letter, communicating so important a fact to such a large
number of persons, should not have been sent out till
within three weeks of the last day allowed by law for
the registration on the municipal list. The act of Par-
liament was passed during the last session, and it appears
difficult to find a sufficient reason for postponing the
announcement of the fact until the middle of October.
We have been given to understand that during the past
week there have been from 1,000 to 1,500 persons who
have availed themselves of the privilege. If, as is anti-
cipated by some, the mass of persons entitled to admis-
sion should put off their applications to the last week,
there may not be time to get the names on the register
of the different wards, which must be made out by the
ward clerks and signed by the alderman on or before the
I,t of November. Such neglect will be visited with the
invalidity of the privilege for the whole year.

The paddle-wheel steam-sloop Inflexible, 6, Comman-
der Corbett, is appointed to leave Plymouth Sound to-
morrow for the East Indies and China, and will be ac-
e miptnied by the gunboat Starling.
The crew of the flagship Impregnable, 104, Captain
Charles Wise, at Plymouth, housed lower yards and
topmasts on Thursday for the Winter.
The steam-gunboat Starling, 2, from Portsmouth, ar•
rived oh Wednesday at Plymouth, where her defects will
be made good prior to sailing for the East Indies.
The Danish screw frigate Niels Juel, 43, Commodm e
C. Treniger, was towed alongside the hulk in Hamoaze
on Thursday, and on Friday received her mainmast,
which bad been fished at the Devonport dockyard. On
Saturday her crew got lower rigging over masthead, top
mast on end, and rigging set.
The hired transport schooner Maria Mice, Capt. Thos.
Bishop, with Government stores from the Thames, for
Corfu, put into Plymouth Sound on Saturday, with loss
of jibboom, &c

MURDEROUS HIGHWAY ROBBERY.-LOSS OP
TIVO HUNDRED POUNDS.

lOn Thursday night last, a murderous and cowardly
robbery was committed on the person of Mr. John
Whittaker, farmer and cattle-dealer, of Thryberg, near
Rotherham. Mr. Whittaker had been to York cattle
fair, and had returned to Masbrough by a late train,
arriving there about eleven o'clock. At York ha had
purchased a number of sheep, which he had ordered to
be sent to Swinton, but the money he had left, aft
ing for the cattle, amounted to the large sumof? ry.
2poaol
'.
Alter alighting at Masbrough, which is abou, from Rotherham, he proceeded to walk thither, iteniridle-
ing, in consequence of the large amount of ca
in his possession, to remain there the whole
of the he hh ad
He went to the Wheatshetf public-house for that purpose,
but the place being closed he went forward. On his way
he called at the Packlorse, at the bottom of Doncaster-
gate, and there drank a portion of three pennyworth cf
gin. He then proceeded homewards, Thryberg being
about three miles from the place. Oa arriving at a
place called Dalton Brook, where there is a public-
house, he again tried to get bed, but being closed he
again went forward. The remainder of the way was
very lonely, and before he had got very far be saw four
men standing at the bottom of Winney-hill. They were
from 80 to 100 yards before him. When he got up to
them the men surrounded him, and tried to secure him.
lie struggled with them, and the robbers repeatedly dealt
him very heavy blows on the head. At length they got
him on the ground, and he said to them, "If you
murder me you will have to account for it another time.
He stuck fast to one of the robbers by the leg, and felt
that he trembled very much, but the villain, in order to
render Mr. Whittaker insensible, struck him repeatedly
and violently over the head with a whip stock, to the end
of which was fastened a ball of load. At length the
fellows had secured money in gold, and silver,
to the amount of about 2001. After securing
this large sum the robbers had the impudence to
coolly ask, " Have you got a watch ?" Ile had not, and
the thieves then dragged him, bleeding profusely from
several wounds on the head, a little further up the road.
Traces of blooi were afterwards found on the place
where he had been dragged, and also the murderous
weapon with which be bad been beaten. When he was
left by the fellows Mr. Whittaker was in a very weak
and exhausted condition. Ho managed, however, to
creep along tae road to the house of Mr. Stringer, mil-
ler, which is about 400 yards from the spot where the
robbery was committed. The servant, a young man
named Wm. Widdowson, was up, and immediately let
him in. Some neighbours were then called up, and Dr.
Blythman, of Swinton, was sent for. He was then con-
veyed home, where the doctor saw him about 3 o'clock,
the robbery having been committed about 12. Every
attention was paid to him, but he still lies in a very
precarious condition, and it is feared that he will become
delirious. So far, we are sorry to say, nothing has been
heard of the heartless villains.

"30, Although regimental depots are only component
piats of the battalion to which they belong, and to be
dealt with by commanding offlf,Tra as the companies of
any other regiment, the utmcst latitude consistent with
the supreme control of the commanding officer should be
'given to the senior officer of each. To this end, the
captains or offieera commanding companies will, in the
exercise of their autbomity in punishing defaulter=, sub-
mit the crimes and punishments awarded to tl.e
senior officer of the depot for his sanction and advice,
who, having, approved or amended the awards as he may
think proper, will lay them before the commanding offi-
cer of the battalion in the usual manner for his informa-
tion and control. Such discretionary punishments, after
being approved, will be entered in the company defaulter
book by the officer commanding the company, in his
own handwriting.
"31. The daily payment of the men is a matter of
paramount importance, and will always be done by an
officer of the company personally, and immediately after
morning parade.
"32. The drill of recruits and others is to be carried
On as far as practicable regimentally—i. e., the recruits

DETERMINED SUICIDE.—A great degree of excitement
was created in Queenstown on Wednesday evening
when it became known that a foreigner had poisoned
himself at Toma.ssini's Italian Hotel. It appears that
the dece aced, who was a general favourite with all who
know him, was a Norwegian interpreter. His name was
Madan, and on the above evening he went into the
hotel and asked for a glass of wine, saying at the same
time, in a rather jocose manner, that he would poison
himself. The barmaid, thinking he was jesting, sup-
plied the wine, when she observed the deceased empty
something from a phial into the glass. This he did not
use, and returning it to the young woman, said, "This
won't do. It's too thick • throw it away, and give me
a glass of sherry. He then got the sherry, with which
he mixed the contents of the small bottle, and expired
shortly after. Meldall, who was a Dane by birth, has been
residing iu Queenstown for a great number of years, and
was much respected for the propriety of his conduct and
his kind and courteous manner, He was a married man.
