lIIISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

ARMY AND NAVY CITANGs6.

The professional papers are full of important nei'
They fully confirm our statement, which was ques-
tioned by the Globe, as to the withdrawal of a large
number of troops from the colonies. The Army and
Navy Gazette says that " the withdrawal of troops
from certain of our colonies in reduction of the
garrisons to be maintained in them " has been de-
cided upon. The staff will. be'reduced, the 4th
West India Regiment disbanded, the Canadian
and Ceylon Rifles reduced. The Broad Arrow
says that the policy of concentrating the military
forces of the empire as far as possible in the mother
country was fully confirmed at Tuesday's Cabinet
Council ; and as soon as the weather will permit, one
regiment of cavalry, five of infantry, and seven bat-
teries of artillery will be withdrawn from North
America. As regards the army at home, the Engineer
Train is to be abolished, though the equipment will
he kept up. The Military Train is to be reorganised.
It is probable that the cavalry will be reorganised
on the squadron system ; that the grades of cornet
and ensign will be abolished, and the number of
subalterns largely reduced (but those who have
recently passed their examination will receive com-
missions) ; that the staff will be reduced ; and a large
number of horses and drivers in tho Artillery (half
of each battery) will be struck off. A great central
Council is to be established at the War Office, to
which all important questions in artillery and
engineer matters will be referred, instead of the
decisions being left to the individual heads of
departments. The Council will consist of Lord
Northbrook Captain Vivian, Sir H. Storks, and
Colonel Milward.

The changes in the navy are no l_ss serious ana
organic. Mr. Childers's scheme for reducing expen-
diture is said to be all but complete, and will embrace
the following changes :—The abolition of the office of
admirals and captains superintendent of the dock-
yards from March 31; the abolition of all unimpor-
tant foreign commands, and the substitution of flying
squadrons under rear-admirals ; and, according to
the United Service Ga:ette, the abolition of the
Royal Naval Reserve. There are to be changes also
in the administrative departments. Mr. Beeby will,
it is said, retire from the post of Accountant-General.
Mr. Whiffin has already retired. Lord Caniperdown
will probably have a seat at the Board of Admiralty,
without pay, in order that he may carry on certain
investigations into the victualling department. When
the new patent is issued he will take the place of Mr.
Trevely. n (are we to infer that Mr. Trevelyan's
speech abflut the Duke of Cambridge has led to his
retirement from office ?). It is rumoured that
Admiral Drummond will return to the Board, and
there is much else in the way of speculation which
we need not repeat.

TURKEY AND GREECE.

Walewski arrived at Athens on Thursday morning.
It is announced that the Bulgaria Cabinet has sent
in its resignation, so that the French envoy will have
arrived in the midst of a Ministerial crisis—a circumstance
faxcnra.ble neither to prompt nor prudent resolutions. The
very fact of this resignation sufficiently proves that King
George is himself disposed to a conciliatory policy, but he
is a constitutional monarch, and can carry out his views
only by means of a Ministry which will support him.
The question is whether he will, in the present
state of public opinion in Greece, be able to
form a Cabinet which will accept a peace policy. The
hulOpendance Belge believes that the Bulgaria Ministry
has resigned only under the conviction that it will be
impossible to replace it, and that the last hope of peace
will thus vanish. In diplomatic circles, says the same
journal, it is not expected that Greece will return either a
positive refusal or a full acceptance. The national vanity
will be appeased by certain reservations which may
possibly be dangerous. The reply of Greece, in short, will

WRECK ON 7HE SUFFOLK COAS7'.

LOWESTOFT, Jan. 29.

Mr. John Henderson, the chief officer of Coast-
guard at Lowestoft, reports that the brig Queen of
the Tyne was wrecked early this mottling on the
Corton Sand, off the Suffolk coast. The crew of
eight men were, happily, saved from the wreck,
through the instrumentality of the lifeboat Letitia,
stationed at Lowestoft. When the boat reached
the sand before daylight the vessel was found on
her beam ends ; and, as far as can be ascertained
from the men's bailing, the crew had taken refuge
in the weather main rigging. From the posit ion in
which the vessel lay it was a work of great risk to
board her, she being on the most dangerous part of
the sand, and the sea being very heavy. However,
the rescue was safely and nobly accomplished, the
men being taken into the boat from the maintop
gallant yard, which at times it was feared would
have gone through the boat, as she and the vessel
rose and fell together. It was a most narrow escape
for the poor shipwrecked men, for they would pro-
bably all have been lost as the flood tide made had
not the lifeboat gone out to them so promptly.
The cost of this valuable lifeboat was presented a
short time ago to the National Lifeboat Institu-
tion by a lady, through Mrs. Pilgrim and Miss
Prince, of Brixham. The vessel belonged to
Shields, and was bound from that Fort to London
with casks.

THE HEALTH OF THE NAVY

A riue-book Iraq published on naturcuty mania,
containing a statistical abstract of the health of th,
British Navy for the twelve months ending June 30,186'.
Dr.- Alexander Mackay, whose introductory report is date:
Jan. 15, 1869, states that during the period referred to the
health of the navy may be considered to have bee:.
very satisfactory. Compared with the average taken fora
period of twelve years, there was a reduction in the ratio of
cases entered on the sick list in the total force equal tc
144'2 per 1,000, and of mortality to the extent of 31 per
1,000. There was a fractional increase in the ratio of inva-
liding. All these ratios were slightly higher than those of
the preceding twelve months, which were, however, the
lowest that had occurred during a period of eleven years.
The total force employed during the twelve months is
estimated at 50,160, but the total number of cases entere,
on the sick list was 64,997, which is in the ratio of
12'957 per thousand of mean force. The highest ratio,
of cases were on the East Indies and Cape of Conti
Hope stations, the west coast of Africa, China, and the
Pacific, in the order named, the lowest being on the
home and Mediterranean stations, and in the irregular
force. The excess in the case of the. East Indian
squadron is attributed to the nature of the duties devolv-
ing upon the vessels employed in the Red Sea in connec-
tion with the Abyssinian expedition. The ships on tl:is
station, not so employed, were, as a rule, very healthy.
A table shewing the average ratios of cases of disease
and injury in the various classes of vessels, exhibits
the ironclads in a very favourable light, the ratio
in them being considerably lower than in any of the rated
vessels, and lower than in the sloops, gun-vessels, and
gunboats. The total number of deaths during the year was
558, of whom 420 were occasioned by disease, and 138 by
wounds, injuries, and drowning. The total death rate was
11 per 1,000, which is below the average rate of mortality
of the total force, taken for 12 years, to the extent of 31
per 1,000.

CRIAUSAL COUR7—( This day).

The sessions commenced this morning.
The Recorder, in charging the grand jury, referred at
length to the Overend and Gurney indictment, and said
he was quite sure they would fully and calmly consider
the matter, in deciding whether there was a prima facie
case made out against the defendants.
Ilerbert Mortimer pleaded guilty to an indictment charg-
ing lrin with burglary.
Thu Recorder asked if anything was known relative to
the prisoner.
The Inspector said the prisoner gave himself up for the
burglary, stating as his reason that he wi,hed to be taken
out of the streets. He had formerly been in pri,on, but
whit° he was uudergoing;his sentence he had to work on the
treadmill, when au accident caused the machine by which
the prisoner was thrown down on it, and before he could
be rescued both his legs were broken. lie was taken to
the infirmary, and on his recovery he Wai sent to Harwich
fur about nine weeks, receiving also .1:5 as compensation
for the injury received. The money had been spent and
the burglary was committed.
The Recorder sentenced the prisoner to 18 months' im-
prisonment with hard labour.
Josiah Sharp, a " swel!," pleaded guilty to a charge of
bigamy.
The counsel for the prosecution said the prisoner had
acted with greatest cruelty towards his fir,t wife. After
having squandered the money she brought him on their
marriage ho increased his ill-treatment, and ultimately
left her because she could neither play, sing, nor dance.
(Laughter.) He had not conducted himself well even to
his second wife, and the learned gentleman said ho had
letters from both wives describing the prisoner as a con-
summate scoundrel. (Laughter.)

The Recorder—lt appears that he was li‘ ing with the
first wife after he had married the second. It was a most
profligate case, and he therefore sentenced the prisoner to
18 months' imprisonment with hard labour.

THE CHIEF CO3I3IISSIONERSHIP OF POLICE.

The Home Secretary is still undecided as to whom
he shall put in the important post so long filled by
Sir Richard Mayne. The rumours in connection
with the appointment are as plentiful as blackberries,
but it is generally believed that the choice lies
between Mr. Knox, Captain Shaw, Mr. Thomas
Hughes, 31. P-., Mr. Loch, Colonel Ewart, and Colonel
Henderson. The Daily .News expresses a hope that
" for a post which implies a disciplinary authority
over the police of three millions of people, the
Government will not choose any gentleman who has
publicly betrayed prejudices or antipathies with
respect to particular classes of her)fajesty'S subjects."
Our contemporary probably refers to Mr. Knox,
who, as the presiding magistrate at Marlborough-
street, in the summer of 1866, rendered himself
extremely unpopular among the working classes by
the heavy fines and terms of imprisonment which he
inflicted on great numbers of men who were directly
or indirectly mixed up with the demolition of the
Hyde Park railings at the Reform League demonstra-
tion. The London correspondent of the _reeds
Mercury asserts that Sir Thomas Henry has received
and declined the offer. The rumour that Mr.
Hughes has been offered the post is not generally
credite ; and he believes that Mr. Knox will be the
final choice of the Home Secretary.

ELECTION EXPENSES.

The accounts now being published of the money
paid by the respective asoirants to parliamentary
h..nours throughout the Vnited Kingdom are ex-
tremely uninteresting, except to the most enthu-
sii'stic politician. In one or two isolated cases,
however, it is well worth while to study the
relative amounts paid by two candidates in the same
county or borough. The county of Edinburgh sup-
plies an instance. For some years the representation
was held by the Earl of Dalkeith, who, as the eldest
son of the largest landed proprietor in the county, the
Duke of 13ucAeuch, sat unopposed from. 185:3 till the
Lte general election. His continued indisposition
and consequent absence from his duties in the
House of Commons led to an organised
opposition against his re-election. The Liberals
chose as their champion Sir Alexander Gibson Mait-
land, and after a spirited contest the noble earl WaS
defeated by a large majority. The cry was imme-
diately raised—and. has since been re-echoed at a
public dinner—that the duke's son was defeated
simply through Sir Gibson Maitland's supporters
commencing their operations so much earlier.
One would suppose that the longer the con-
test the greater the expense; but the published
accounts contradict this natural conclusion. Sir
Gibs..Pn Maithni spent £l,OBO, whilst his opponent's
electioneering expenses amounted to £4,477, or more
than four times as much. As the latter polled only
005 votes, it is clear that the average sum he ex.-
pended on each was LI On the other hand, the Liberal
polled 1,146, sheaving that his supporters cost him
£l, being one-fifth as much. We believe that the
noble earl has to
pay dearer (in proportion) for his
whistle. than any other candidate in the recent
contest.

THE LATE ERNEST JONES.
Mr. Mitchell Henry, who contested Manchester at
the general election, in opposition to the wishes of
the "United Liberal Party," and was defeated in
company with Mr. Ernest Jones, has nobly
expressed his admiration of his late opponent.
Writing from Ireland to Manchester, he
says : " Whatever differences may conscien-
tiously arise in political opinions, they may, happily,
be obliterated in sympathy towards a bereaved widow
and family, and be forgotten, and even regretted, at
the side of the grave. Should a private or other
subscription be opened for the widow and family of
the late Mr. Jones, please pay twenty guineas into
the hands of the treasurer at once, for me, with or
without my name. This is a small share of sym-
pathy; but let me know what is proposed to be done
for the sadly bereaved family." The funeral trJok
place at Manchester on Saturday.

TUE TRIAL OF OVEREND, GURNEY, AND CO.

It will be generally admitted that the Lord Chief
Justice did right when he granted the applicAtion of
Serjeant Parry to remove the trial of the directors in
the ill-fated Overend, Gurney, and Co. from the Old
Bailey to Westminster. The prejudices of a common
jury at the Central Criminal Court against
what is considered " commercial immorality " are
well known, and it is therefore satisfactory that such
a cause célèbre will be tried before A clear-headed
lawyer like Sir Alexander Cockburn and a special
jury. Besides, it will give the learned Chief
Justice an opportunity of displaying his match-
less superiority in summing up and dealing
with one of the most intricate cases of modern times.
As in the trial of Strahan, Paul, and Bates, the
crown will undertake the prosecution, who—sup-
poiing the Liberals are in power at the time—will 132
represented by the learned members for Plymouth
and Exeter. En passant, it is stated by a
London contemporary as somewhat remark-
able, that within the eleven years in which
Mr. John Henry Gurney represented King's Lynn,
from 1854 to 1805, he sat upon the Liberal benches
of the House of Commons with both the judge who
is to preside, and Lord Mayor Lawrence, the com-
mitting magistrate.
