The Ariadne, which is to accompany the Prince
of Wales on his visit to Canada, will be well worthy of a
visit from our trans-Atlantic cousins, as, although only
mounting 26 guns, these are of the heaviest calibre, and
she actually measures nearly 100 tons more than the Hero,
which mounts 91 guns ; she has also 1,000-horse power,
whereas the latter ship has only 600. According to present
arrangements the Flying Fish will start a day or two in
advance, so that she may be able to reach the shoros of
Canada at about the same time with her more powerful
consorts.—Amy and Navy Gazette.

At the recent final examination of cadets at the
Royal Military College, some forty young gentlemen passed
an examination which was declared to have fitted them for
commissions in the line. Nevertheless, the Duke of Cam-
bridge' in addr3ssing, them, was obliged to state that it was
out of his power to give commissions without purchase to
more than twenty of them ; and the first twenty on the list,
according to the number of marks, were selected. The re-
mainicg twenty are left either to purchase commissions, or
do the best they can. We are well aware of the calls upon
the Secretary for War to prevent the Reserved Fund being
especially with a number of cavalry
retirements
but we do think, even in the face
of this, dul
adnimd iinP
of the
;
Fifteen Million Bill before us, that these
young men have a right to complain of not merely a virtual,
but a direct, plain, and positive breach of faith on the part
of the Government. That a satisfactory career at Sandhurst
secures, or has been in the habit of sectiring, a commission
without purchase, is a matter of sufficient notoriety to
render it at least very equivocal conduct on the part of the
Secretary for \Var to take away the privilege without long
and distinct notice. But, in the present instance, these
young gentlemen went to Sandhurst under a distinct com-
pact with the Government, contained in the regulations
then in force. The words of paragraph 20 of these
regulations are, " With a view to the advantage of the
Service, and as an encouragement to young gentlemen edu-
cated at the Royal Military College, and a stimulus to their
exertions, commissions are given to all those passing an ex-
amination before the Collegiate Board." Notwithstanding
this very distinct stipulation, the young gentleman who
hale performed their part of the compact are told the Go-
vernment cannot fulfil theirs. There was nothing about
competition when they entered Sandhurst. They invested
their tune and money in the acquisition of a military edu-
cation, in return for which they are promised the gift of a
commission. They are pronounced duly qualified ; there is
no question as to their having earned the prize honestly,
but itis not convenient for the Min'ster for War to diminish
his balance by giving it. As regards a private individual
they could undoubtedly maintain an action-at-law; as
against the Minister, we hope public opinion will see that
right be done.—Army anal Navy Gazette.
LOVE AND SUICIDE.—At an early hour yesterday
morning a respectably .dressed female was seen to precipi-
tate herself into the water of the Regent's -canal, Victoria-
park. She ran along the towing-path immediately at the
rear of the Cricketer's Arms Tavern, and was soon strug-
gling in the water. An alarm was raised, but the deceased
disappeared. Mr. Russell, the lock-keeper, and his son
instantly hastened to the spot with the drags, but some
minutes elapsed before the body could be secured. The
deceased was carried to the nearest public-house, and Mr.
Maldola, a surgeon, was promptly in attendance, and used
every means to restore animation, but, unfortunately, with •
oat avail. The deceased was a fineeyoung woman, and
subsequently she was identified as Mary Ann Fage, aged
20 years, the daughter of Mr. Fage, the extensive broker
of Whitechapel-road. It appeared that the deceased was
much attached to a young man, with whom she had kept
company four years. They were out together last on Thurs-
day night, had some words, and while standing at the door
of the father's house the young man refused to shake hands
with her. The decelQed was much annoyed and cried, and
told him that, if he did not shake hands with her before they
separated, she would drown herself. Ile did not heed what
she had said, and left to go home. The deceased, however,
left home unseen, and committed self-destruction as above
described.
DESTRUCTIVE: FIRE IN GLASGOW.—On Monday
morning the Lancefield Cotton Spinning Factory, Centre-
street, Tradeston, was totally destroyed by fire. The loss
in stock, buildings, and machinery is estimated at £3,000,
which is nearly covered by the following insurances—Cor-
poration of Liverpool, £.3,000; Royal, £2,000; Globe,
£1,360; Phoenix, ze1,500 ; Sun, .E 509.
PRINTED PAPERS.—By a Parliamentaiy return
just issued it appears that the cost of printing reports and
papers presented by command of her Majesty, during the
session of 1859, was £19,706' 9s. sd. This sum is exclu-
sive of the cost of the printing ordered by the two
Houses of Parliament, of job-work, printing, and of all
printed work not laid before Parliament.
