A general turn out was ye.3terday morning made i❑
the military departments of Wool wiei. At an early hour
the whole of the battalions were paraded in front of
head-qulrters, under the inspection of the divisional
commanding officers. The squadron of recruits was like.
wi;e brought out and inspe3ted in heavy marching equip-
ment. The Royal Horse Artillery were exercised during
a portion of the morning, and the batteries were paraded
to Plumstead-common.

A garnson order was issued on the 24th, granting per-
mission for a voluntary transfer from the battalions to the
Horse Artillery Corps, and it was expected that numbers
would have joined the mounted branch of the establish-
ment. That expectation was, however, not realised. It
appears that not a single man presented himself as a
candidate for the exchange.
Orders have been received at Woolwich to muster the
consolidated body of enrolled Woolwich and Deptford
pensioners for the periodical drill and inspection, which
is to take place on Woolwich-common to-morrow. The
Woolwich division are to be assembled on the common,
under the command of Col. Forbes, staff officer of pen-
sioners ; on Thursday the Deptford division, under
Major Warde, will join the Woolwich division ; and on
Friday Col. Tahoe!), military superintendent of pension.
ers, will inspect both divisions, the inspection to com-
mence at le a.m.

For some days past a notice has been exposed at the
entrance of Woolwich Dockyard to the effect that the
existing order for forwarding parcels intended for offi-
cers and seamen belonging to ships of her Majesty's
fleet stationed in the east, through the medium of the
dockyard officials, is to be cancelled from this period,
and that no more such piircels can be received.

The ,ptore-ship Diligence, Masters•Coinmander Crook,
arrived at Woolwich on Saturday from Plymouth. Her
Majesty's 4-gun surveying cutter yacht Seatiower arrived
at Woolwich yesterday morning from Portsmouth.
The iron steam store-ship Industry (tender to the Fis•
gard) and the transport Prince of Orange were yester-
day morning admitted into the outer basin at Wool-
wich. Tile Prince of Orange is to 1an..1 chains, anchors,
and cables from the east.

The sailing-transport Catherine Morrison, Douglas
Philiskirk roaster, arrived off Woolwich Arsenal yester-
day morning from the Crimea, laden with miscellaneous
stores. She has en board 57 tons of 32-inch shot, 2,500
bundles of blankets, sundry bales of clothing, ham-
mocks, to. The freight-ship Koh-i-nocr is embarking
ammunition and ordnance stores from Woolwich Arsenal
for Colombo.

General Sir J. Burgoyne, G.C.8., Inspector General
of Fortification, has intimated his intention of paying a
visit to Chatham garrison to-morrow, for the purpose of
making the half-yearly inspection of the corps of Royal
Engineers (Royal Sappers and Miners) stationed at
Brompton barracks, together with the Royal Engineers
occupying the huts at Brompton and the East India
Company's Sappers and Miners. Should the weather
permit, the inspection wilt take place on Chatham lines.
Yesterday morning a draught of the Medical Staff
Oorps, consisting of five assistant wardmasters and 91
hospital orderlies, left the head-quarters of that corps at
Chatham barracks, in charge of Captain R. S. Cole, for
the camp at Aldershot, where they are to be stationed,
for the purpose of doing duty in the camp hospital. Pre-
viously to their leaving the men were it.spected at Chat-
ham barracks.

Lieut. G. C. Bartholomew, 10th Rsgiment, has been
ordered to proceed from the Provisional Battalion, Chat-
ham, to IJpnor Castle, for the purpose of taking the
erminand of the troop at that station, relieving Lieut.
R. Gorton, 29th Regiment.
The following appointments wore made yesterday at
the Admiralty :—Lieut. W. Seaward to be agent of
mails on Southampton packet station ; G. Y. R. Rattray,
mute to the Monarch ; El ward Youel, master, to the
Centurion ; Henry Bond, second master, to the Actaeon ;
W. H. Plow, to be naval instructor of the Shannon.

It is believed tbat the dismissal from her Majesty's
service of that misguided young man, Lord Ernest Vane
Tempest, is of more serious consequence as far as he
himself is concerned than is generally supposed ; it not
only entirely precludes him from ever again entering
the army, but will, it is understood, be a total bar to
his employment in any civil capacity, whether in this
country or in the c 4oniest. This, it is now said, his
lordship—freed henceforward from the evil examples
which in their results have proved so injurious to his
prospects—feels both rheply and acutely. In fact, it
is whispered that his more matured and chastened
inclinations now incline towards the church, a field
in which he may be employed as honestly, as honour-
ably, %rid as usefully, both to himself and others, as in
that of Mars. As the noble family to which he may still
prsve an ornament have more than one living► in their
gift it is not improbable that this may be his ultimate
arid r.c,t uu:4raceful destination, however di,tressing may
have been the events which led to it.—Newcastle Guar-

Of the nine engagements which were propOsed eight
were leit standing. Tae last race took place at half-past
12 o'clock, the last at 4 o'clock ; and those persons who
were desirous of returning to town were conveyed thither
in about two hours and a half by a " special," which left
Newmarket at 5 o'clock. The weather was most propi-
tious, and the racing was in certain instances marked
with peculiar imp o.tance. The 501. plate, Cambridge.
shire Course, as usual commanded a large field, but the
result of the race produced no perceptible effect on spa-
sulation on the Cambridgeshire. The running of Tyre
perhaps gave additional confidence to the supporters of
Vengeance, while the forward position obtained by Miss
Harkaway caused Pretty Boy to be backed at an im-
provement of five points on his last quotation. Young
Mundy, who, it will be remembered, sustained a severe
comminuted fracture of the thig in the race for the
Goodwood Stakes, rode Caliph for this plate, and seems
to be quite recovered.

rho Criterion has proved for many years a misno•
mer, so far as it affords a test of the comparative
merits of the competitors, and it is almost invariably
marked by the defeat of the favourite. The success of
an outsider is the rule, and not the exception. On
this occasion it was won by Lord Exeter's Beechnut,
who was not mentioned in the betting ; the leading
favourite, Rosa Boaheur, being signally defeated. Syd-
ney was very fractious at the starting post. Before
the race ho bad been backed at 15 to 1 for the Derby;
after it, 29 to 1 was offered.
