SANDHURST ROYAL MILITARY COLLEGE

The cadets of the Royal Military College at Sand-
hurst have recently committed a series of outrages
upon property and individuals which have occasioned
much alarm in the village of Yorktown, close to the
College precincts. These outrages, with but little
intermission, extended over a whole week. Order,
indeed, is now restored, but no guarantee exists that
any day the locality may may not be the scene of
more wide-spread mischief and more general de-
struction.

From information gathered on the spot, and only
timidly vouchsafed by the terrified residents, it ap-
pears that on the night of the 28th ult. a number of
cadets entered the shop of Mr. Broatman, a jeweller
and member of the Jewish persuasion, residing at
Yorktown, where they commenced indiscriminately
to smash everything that came in their way. Nut
content with this, they attacked Mr. Broatman him-
self, dragged him about the shop, and otherwise
maltreated him. For several succeeding nights the
cadets marched in compact bodies, discharging fire-
works and creating general alarm. On the night of
Ist inst. they again assembled in front of Mr. Broat-
man's and recommenced the work of destruction,
broke the fanlight over the shop door, threw fire-
works into the shop, and nearly ignited the dwelling.
They then retired, still discharging fireworks, which
they threw into various shops as they passed along
the streets. At this juncture the bugle, warning
them to return to quarters, sounded from the Col-
lege, and they appear to have reluctantly obeyed
the summons. On the following day they again
assembled opposite to Mr. Broatman's, and endea-
voured to batter in the shop-front, but in this they
did not succeed, although they inflicted some damage
upon the premises. They then marched along the
village till they came to the shop of Mr. Ferguson,
butcher. Upon this houso and that adjoining, oc-
cupied by Mr. Ham, a jeweller, they commenced an
attack, throwing stones and discharging fireworks.
They broke four squares of glass in Mr. Ferguson's
window, and a stone thrown by one of them cut
open the head of a poor woman named Courtnelit
who was purchasing in the shop. Much damage was
done to Mr. Ham's shop, and a stone which was
thrown, rebounding from a side wall, went through
a skylight, and in its descent alighted upon a watch
which it broke to pieces; the works of a valuable
chronometer were also much damaged. The dis-
turbing bands appropriated a bundle of stout sticks
belonging to a neighbour of Mr. Ham, which were
intended for broomhandles ; these they broke in
twain and converted into effectual bludgeons, and
more than one unfortunate spectator or foot pas-
senger is said to have received proof of the strength
and quality of these offensive weapons. They then
proceeded to the west end of the village, where Air-
Ham has a billiard-room constructed of wood. This
they attempted to set fire to, but their efforts were
unavailing. At this stage some intimation of what
was going on seemed to have reached the college
authorities, for a number of officials, corporals, and
under officers appeared upon the scene, and, after
much exertion, succeeded in inducing the young
gentlemen to return to quarters. Subsequentlif
however, they set fire to a skittle alley in the col-
lege grounds, which, being of wood, was soon con-
sumed, despite all the efforts of those in authority*
to prevent such a result. The next day was Sun-
day, and measures for restoring discipline were
taken. C company was placed under arrest, and
pickets thrown round the college grounds to prevent
any of the cadets passing their boundaries. In the
evening, however, they assembled in rear of Si"
Michael's Church, which, from its position, they had
no difficulty in doing, and during divine service
maintained a hideous noise, consisting of catcalls,
yells, shouting, and every known sound by
the human roice can add to uproar. An inves-
tigation has been since held, in consequence of
which four or five young gentlemen hare been sun'"
manly dismissed and sent to their homes, and most
probably severe examples will be made of others of
the delinquents. Various reasons are assigned for
the attack on the Jews' houses, the principal of
which, in regard to Mr. Broatman, is that in the
capacity of money-lender he extorted too high 6
rate of interest. It is hoped that there is now an
end of the riotous proceedings ; the cadets have been
released from arrest, but the alarm they have created
can scarcely be said to have subsided.
The inhabitants of Yorktown, so far as their fear°
will permit them to speak out, ascribe the proceed"
ings to the imperfect state of discipline which I°
maintained. It is averred that the cadets have easy
access to spirituous liquors in the College, and con's
,
into the village ripe for any kind of mischief. 01,.
their after-dark proceedings much could be said, but
it is expected that the revelations would not b°
greatly in favour of discipline or good manner°'
The inhabitants have been so terrified that they dare
all
not, unless adequately protected, make known
that has transpired, and all they are subject to ; btl,
there is no doubt that the light of publicity, turned
full upon Sandhurst, will elicit some curious details'

AUSTRALIAN BEEF. —The following is an extrau"
from a letter, dated Sydney, August 31, 1867
"Among the many inventions of these times is one f°:
preservation of meat, birds, and fish, in tanks, by Real"
apparatus applied here in the first instance to the naaaufti'cn-
tura of ice. The ag nt is ammonia, and its applicatio'
appears simple and inexpensive. The promoters aro 551:
guine of success in forwarding in very large numbers Reis;
carcases to England, and that it may be used for sIIPP.IO
of passengers and ships' crews. Recently I went
friend to see, and was in the tank, in which were join:
whole carcases, birds, fish, milk, —all in toast Pjrfi,°,,er
preservation. Some had been there for mouths,
parts only a few hours. The meat so frozea
said to be fully equal, when cooked to any fres";
killed. The carcases in the tank are not soP3rAte
but closely packed. There is reason to expect that, ere
but closely packed. There is reason to expect tb5t%,11l
long, quantities of the surplus stock of those colonies ill
be exported in this state for supply of distant markets Wit
