back as if it had been a bar of wood, bending
my breast against (the taffratl and lifting me over
the side. I clung to the ninon, with my hands,
and made up mind that I would' let myself be car-
ried away by the next wave. I found I was able
to keep swimming, and the waves towards the
shore helped me. In about 40 minutes I had
reached within a few yards of the rocks. Here my
danger, instead of lemening, was increased, as there
were sharp rocks in front, as well as others laid
bare in the trough of the sea, on which I ran risk
of being dashed, while I could make no headway,
,as the wave that swept me in swept me back again
with resistless force. At last a rope was thrown,
which I unfortunately missed, but caught next
throw, and was drawn through the surge. There
was yet a gully between the rocks and the mainland,
which I had to cross, and down this a strongcurrent
was running. I entered it, but the rope gave way
and I was swept down by the current and was on
the point of being again cast amidst breakers, when
I managed to lay hold of a jutting rock, and kept
hold of it till 1 was drawn out by the people on
shore. I then learned that the sea succeeding the
one which carried me off swept away three of my
companions, whom I believe to have been Robert
Campbell, Captain Paton, and Caddis the fireman.

had passed away the other four men—viz., James
Spencer (the mate), J. Mair (second mate), W.
Lawson, and Israel Muir, had also disappeared,

issued on Saturday last respecting the admission of
the orph an sons of officers of the Army, Royal
Navy, an-d Royal Marines into the class of Queen's
cadets at the Royal Military College, accompanying
which are the regulations necessary to be complied
with previous to admission at the college :
" GENERAL ORDER.
"Horse Guards, S.W., Jan. 5, 1858.
" Her Majesty having been pleased to approve of the
accompanying. regulations for the free admission into the
Royal Military College of the orphan sons of officers as
Queen's cadet, his Royal Highness Abe General Com-
manding-in-Chief has tie satisfaction of promulgating
the same to the army.
" The Queen's cadets are to be the eons of officers
who have fallen in action, or who have died of wounds
received in action, or who have died of disease con-
tracted on service, and have left their families in re-
duced circumstances.
" It will be seen that the number of cadets in all is
20, and those from the army are limited to 15, the
remaining five being reserved for the Royal Navy and
Royal Marines.
" It is his Royal Highness's desire, in the considera-
tion to be given to the numerous applicants, to select
the most deserving.
" With this especial object in view, his Royal High-
ness requests that in the case of an officer dying under
the circumstances which render his son eligible for ad
mission as a Queen's cadet commanding officers will,
with the least possible delay, transmit to the Military
Secretary a written statement according to the annexed
form, showing the several particulars required.
" The statement to be signed by the commanding offi-
cer, to be forwarded to the Military Secretary at the
Horse Guarde, is to contain the rank and name of the
deceased officer, whether he has fallen in action, died of
wounds seceivel in action, or died of disease contracted
on service, and has left his family in reduced circum-
stances. Any circumstances within the commanding
officer's knowledge, affording information with regard to
the deceased officer's family relations, are also to be
given.
"It is also desirable that any circumstences within
the commanding officer's knowledge, affording informa-
tion with regard to the officer's family relations, should
be stated.
The data thus obtained will be the means of enabling
his Royal Highness to make the best selection of candi-
dates, and thereby render this boon as beneficial to the
army as possible.
"By order of his Royal Highness the General
Commanding-in-Chief.
"G. A. WETHERALL, Adjutant-General,
" Regulations for the Admission of the Orphan Sons of
Officers of the Army, Royal Navy, and Royal Marines
into the Class of Queen's Cadets, at the Royal Military
College.
"1, These cadetship, of which there are 20 in all,
are confined to the sons of officers of the army, Royal
navy, and Royal marines who have fallen in action, or
have died of wounds received in action, or of diseases
contracted on active service, and who have left their
families in reduced circumstances
" Gentlemen cadets on this class are educated gra-
tuitously.
"The nominations, with the concurrence of the Secre-
tary of State for War, are made by the Commander-in-
Chief for the Army, in the proportion of 15 cadetships,
and by the First Lord of the Admiralty for the Navy
and Marines, in that of five cadetships, to whom applica-
tions are to be made.
"2. No candidate can be admitted under the age of
15, nor above that of 17.
"A baptismal certificate under the hand of the cler
gyman of the parish where he was born, if in the United
X.ingdom, or if the candidate was born abroad, such
proofs respecting his age as may be satisfactory, must be
tranernitted with the application for admission.
" 3. In a case where the services of the father and the
circumstances of the family are deemed such as to con-
stitute a claim, a candidate, ineligible for immediate
admission on account of his not having attained the
proper age, but being a promising youth, may, at the
discretion of the Secretary of State for War, be allowed
an addition to the compassionate allowance with the
especial view of promoting his education until he is
eligible for admission into the college.
" 4. Testimonials of conduct in the following form
must be produced frogs every master under whose tuition
a candidate may have been during the three years ice
mediately preceding his admission into college.
" Ido hereby certify that was under my care
and instruction from the day of 18 ,to the
day of 18 ; and that during that period
I had ri &son to be satisfied with his general conduct and
application to his studies, as shown in the accompany-
ing papers relating thereto.
" And I further declare that I never knew him to
be guilty of any disgraceful misconduct whatever ; that
his moral conduct, in my opinion,: justifies every hOpe
that he will grow up truthful and honourable ; and that
he was not removed from my care in consequence of
any misconduct.'
" Such certificate iu this form must also be attested
and signed by the mother or other near relative of the
youth, as follows :
" 'I certify to the authenticity of the above testimo-
nial.'
" 5. No cand.date can be admitted into the Royal Mi-
litary College who labours under any difficulty of articu-
lation, or under any other bodily or organic defect which
may appear to incapacitate him for military service.
" 6. A declaration is required whether or net the can-
didata has had the smallpox or cowpox, and whether be
has had the measles sod scarlatina. Vaccination is per-
formed at the institution, but it is desirable that it should
have been performed previously to admission.
"7. Every gentleman cadet is at first admitted en a
probate of 12 months; and if his conduct during any part
of that period should be such as to render it obvious that
his longer stay would be either hurtful to the institution
or unprofitable to himself he will be removed from the
college.
"8. The following qualifications are required from
every candi late for admission :
" I. In English, to wrete from dictation.
" 11. In arithmetic, he must be acquainted with the
first four rules, simple and compound, and vulgar and
decimal fix:Alone.
111, In algebra, addition, subtraction, multiplication,
and divi,ion.

countie-, chief towns, and rivers of England, Scotland,
and Ireland.
" VI. He will be required to pilot the ordinary Re-
man character and italics with neatness and facility.
"9. In conformity with the royal warrant, dated May
27, 1803, all gentlemen cadets are subject to the articles
of war, and to such other rules and regulations as are
or may be from time to time established for the mainte-
nance of good order and discipline.
" 10. A weekly allowance of pocket-money, at the
discretion of the lieutenant-governor, is received by each
cadet, tot exceeding for an under officer 3s. 6d per week;
for a cadet in the upper school, 2s. 63. per week ;and for
a gentleman cadet in the lower school, 24. per week ;
exclusive of the addition for good conduct operations.
"This weekly allowance is provided fur the Queen's
cadet by the liberality of the public ; no money is
therefore to be sent to him between the vacation..
"The nature and discipline of the establishment require
that these roles be strictly complied with ; ani it is
requested that no debt contracted by a cadet with any
tradesman in the vicinity of the college may be paid, as
ouch a practice would be highly prejudicial to the indi-
vidual himself and to the institution, and would lead to
severe censure.
" 11.• The Queen's cadets to whom it would be a boon
to remain at the college during the vacations, in conse-
quence of having no friends to receive them, are per-
mitted to do so, with the sanction of the Secretary of
State for War.
" 12. The period at present allowed to complete a
young gentleman's education at the junior department
of the Royal Military College is four years, which may
be reduced in proportion to the age on admission to not
lass than two years for young men passed 16 years of
age at that time.
" 13. With a view to the advantage of the service, and
as an encouragement to young gentlemen educated at
the Royal Military College, and a stimulus to their
exertions, commissions in the army are given to all thoee
passing examinations before the collegiate board, held
twice a year for that purpose, who are recommended to
the Commander-in-Chief; but although these commis-
sions, given by the Crown as the reward of application,
can be obtained only in the way above stated, it is open
notwithstanding to any young gentleman Attlee college
to enter the army in the usual way, unless the com-
mander-in-Chief shall see cause to defer his admix-:ion
into the service in consequence of his conduct being
represented unfavourably in the reports called for from
the governor of the college.
" 14. When application is made to the Commander-
in-Chief for a commission in the army for a young gentle-
men who is at the Royal Military College, the Corn-
rnander-in-Chiet has directed that it may be so stated,
otherwise the appointment (even though it may
appeared in the Gazette) will be cancelled.
" 15. is the Commander-in-Chief's particular corn
mend that any gentleman cadet who may be discovered
to use or to have in his possession any species of firearms
or who shall be guilty of poaching upon private property
with dogs, ferrets, or snares, or who shall be engaged in
baiting of animals, shall be immediately removed from
the college ; and the Commander-in-Chief has farther
required the Governor specially to report such individuals.
" 16. No perquisites or presents of any kind are re-
ceived by the professors, or by any other person belong-
ing to the college, from either the gentlemen cadets or

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—Jan. 9.

MANSION-HOUSE.—John White, a well-
dressed young men, traveller to Messrs. Coulson
and Son, linen manufacturers, of 6, Tower-street
West, was brought before the Lord Mayor by
Huggitt, the detective officer, charged with em-
bezzling the moneys of his employers.
Mr. J. Thresher, salesman to Messrs. Taylor,
carpet warehousemen of Oxford-street, said—We
deal with the prosecutors. On the 29th September
last I paid the prisoner on their account the
cheque produced for 131. 10s., and he gave me the
receipt at the foot of the invoice. The cheque has
been returned to us from our bankers as paid.
Mr. W. Coulson, one of the prosecutors, said—
The prisoner was in our service as traveller, and it
was his duty to obtain orders and receive money
from customers on our account. He ought to have
accounted to me for the cheque produced for 1314
108., but has not done so.
The Lord Mayor—Have you reason to believe
that you have other charges to prefer against him ?
Witness—Yes, my Lord ; I wish the prisoner to
be remanded, in order that we go through our
books.
J. Huggitt—l took the prisoner into custody last
night, and told him I charged him with embezzling
two sums of money belonging to his employers. I
mentioned a cheqUe for 141. 10„4., and another for
W. 17s. He said, " The cheque for ill. 17s. is
right ; the other is 31. 10s." On the road to the
station-house he said to me, " It's a bad job, Mr.
Huggitt ; it would be no use to me to deny my
guilt ; this has occurred through my keeping bad
company, and I shall plead guilty to the charge."
The prisoner was remanded.
Charles White, a young fellow who is believed to
have been in custody on a previous occasion, was
charged with the following impudent robbery :
J. Clinch—l am shopman to Messrs. Newell,
hosier and glover, of 62, Leadenhall-street. Last
night I saw the prisoner deliberately walk off with
the coat and chair produced from the street door of
my master. The coat was strapped to the chair at
the time. He ran away with them as fast as he
could, but I overtook him and gave him into cus-
tody. The value of the articles is 1/. 2s. 6d.
George Lane, constable 658, said that the prisoner
when given into his custody, made a desperate effort
to get away from him.
The prisoner, who admitted his guilt, was re-
manded for the purpose of being brought up in
petty sessions.
The Lord Mayor requested that the press would
acknowledge the receipt of a cheque for 101. from
le Salters' Company for the poor-box.

MARLBOROUGII-STREET.—Assaurr BY AN
OFFICER IN THE ARMY.—Colonel George Grenfell
was brought up on a warrant, charged with two as-
saults, under the following circumstances :
Mr. Dyer, of 90, Regent-street, jeweller and
watchmaker, said that the defendant, a day or two
ago, had purchased a silver watch at his shop. The
watch was brought back again to be regulated, and
the defendant took it away on Friday. An hour
afterwards he returned with it and said it bad
stopped, and that he must have his money back.
The complainant told him be would make it per-
form correctly, or he would exchange it, but he
refused to give back the money. Upon this the
defendant struck him on the face with his hand.
The complainant told his shopman, to shut the door
and call a policeman, whereupon the defendant
struck his shopman a severe blow with his fist, and
got away out of the shop.
The defendant said that the complainant had war-
ranted the watch which he had bought for keeping
good time. He had given 61. for it. The watch,
had, however, stopped four times. He took it back
to be set to rights, and it stopped again within an
hour after he had it. Ho therefore demanded the
return of his money, and told the complainant he
had no faith in his watches, and would not have
any other in exchange. The complainant called
him a madman, and he and his man got round him,
when he just touched him lightly. They again
came round him, and tried to prevent his leaving
the shop, so he knocked the shopman down, and
loft the shop. He hoped the magistrate would dis-
pose of the case at once, as he was ordered by the
Government to Buenos Ayres, and was to leave
town that night.
The complainant admitted that the watch might
have stopped, but it was a very good one for the
money, and he would make it go correctly if he
were allowed time.
Mr. Bingham said this assault was neat of a very
serious nature, but complainant had certainly made
out his case, so be should fine the defendant 108.
and costs.
The colonel pail the money, and added it. for
the poor-box.
M ARYLEBONE. —CHARGE OF FORGERY. —Mr.
John Horton, an undertaker, ttc., carrying on busi-
ness in South-street, Manchester-square, was placed
at the bar before Mr. Broughton, charged with
having forged acceptances to bills.
From the evidence, which was not gone into at
much length, it appeared that Selina Short, who
had resided in York-buildinn New-road, died, and
that the prisoner was employed to conduct the fune-
ral. For his expenses he received a bill from Mr.
Randal, Welbeck-stree',, Cavendish-square, the said
bill, which purported to bear the name of deceas
son as the indorser, turned out to be a forgery.
