THE HEALTH AND EFFICIENCY OF
THE BRITISH TROOPS IN INDIA.

The following suggestions have been made by
Mr. J. R. Martin to the Chairman of the Court of

Nearly the whole of the volunteers to the Roya
Engineers who have been selected to proceed with
the force of Royal Sappers and Miners ordered to
British Columbia have arrived at head-quarters,
Brompton Barracks, Chatham, from the various
companies of Engineers scattered throughout the
country, in order to embark with the expedition, on
Wednesday next, on board the clipper ship Thames
City, 1,500 tons. The expedition, it is now decided,
shall consist of 10 sergeants, 16 corporals, and
about 120 Sappers, the officers at present named to
accompany them being Colonel R. C Moody, who
commands the whole force, Captain J. M. Grant,
Captain H. R. Luard, Lieut. A. R. Lempriere, and
Lieut. H. S. Palmer ; Assistant-Staff-Surgeon J.
V. Seddall, M.D., proceeds in medical charge of the
expedition. None but the most robust and skilful
n len among the Royal Engineers have been allowed
to volunteer for this service, as the work they will
be called upon to perform will be not only attended
with some degree of hardship, but will also re-
quir;e a great amount of skill. With this view they
have been chosen from the various trades and han-
dicrafts of which the corps of Royal Engineers is
made up. They include not only carpenters,, ma-
sons, blacksmiths, printers, painters, and miners,
but also surveyors, artists, engravers, photographers,
architects, draughtsmen, &c., whose services
ll
all be called into requisition. The pay given by the
Government is on a very liberal scale, the daily
pay of the Engineers in most cases
having been
fixed at 55., in addition to which it is proposed
that, as an inducement to faithful service and
good conduct, each of the Royal Sappers and
Miners who shall have served in British Columbia
for six years, and shall have borne a good cha-
racter during that period, shall be presented by
the Government with 60 acres of land, in addition
to the amount of pension to which he may be en-
titled. The married men proceeding with the ex-
pedition are to be allowed to take their wives and
families with them. Each man will be equipped
with the Enfield rifle, and it is also intended to fur-
nish
him with Colt's revolver. The stores and
elclothing of every description required for the expe-
dition will be despatchedfrom Chatham to-morrow.
On Saturday detachments of troops, selected from
the depots of the Ist and 3d battahons at Chatham,
left that garrison and proceeded to Eastbourne for
the purpose of undergoing a course of instruction in
the Enfield rifle previously to embarking for India.
The recent experiments which have been made
at Chatham for the purpose of testing the supe-
riority of the Lancaster rifle musket, as used by
the corps of the Royal Engineers, over the Enfield
rifle in use by the troops of the Line, having at-
tracted much attention, some further experiments
have just been concluded at Chatham, with the
view of ascertaining whether the remarkable accu-
racy of aim arrived at with the Lancaster rifle was
not due more to the skill of the Royal Engineers
than to the superiority of that description of musket.
In order to put this supposition to a thorough test,
eight non-commissioned officers belonging to the
Royal Engineers, and a small number selected from
the 2d Battalion of Infantry were chosen to fire at
the targets, the range, as on former experiments,
extending from 350 to 600 yards. In this instance.
however, the muskets used by the two branches of
the service were exchanged on the ground, the
Royal Engineers taking the Enfield rifle, and the
non-commissioned officers of the Line receiving the
Lancaster rifled muskets from the Royal Engineers.
Each man was provided with 20 rounds of ammu-
nition and ball. On the occasion of the former ex •
periments the Royal Engineers displayed a surpris-
ing correctness of aim in firing at the target, the
number of " points" gained by them being nearly
double those made by the battalion of non-com-
missioned officers. In the experiments which have
just been concluded the superiority of the Lancas-
ter rifle was again most decided, as in the compara-
tively unpractised hands of the battalion non-com-
missioned officers the average number of " points"
made was 14.00, while with the far superior firing
of the Royal Engineers only an average of 12.75
points could be arrived at with the Enfield rifle.
The finest practice during the experiments was that
of Colour-Sergeant T. Barrow, R.E., who made the
large number of 20 points out of 20 rounds, a num-
ber which has rarely been exceeded with the En-
field musket. The result of these interesting experi-

- -
ments may be taken as a fair test of the value of the

two descriptions of rifles used. The Royal Engi-
neers with the Lancaster rifle, and with practice
prior to the -experiments, averaged 15.88 points ;
the battalion with the Enfield, and previous prac-
tice, averaged only 10.98 points. Arin, the Royal
Engineers, using the Enfield rifle, with which they
had had no previous practice, made only 1215
points, while the battalion with the Lancaster rifle,
with the use of which they were comparatively un-
acquainted, made 14.00 points. It thus appears
that, irrespective of the Lancaster rifle being the
best weapon for obtaining accuracy of aim, the
Royal Engineers are undoubtedly among the best
marksmen in the service.
It is reported that the barracks at Warley, Essex,
arc to be enlarged, so as to adapt them for a cavalry
depot.
Last week a further draught of 1 officer and 89
rank and file left the camp at Colchester for India.
On the morning of the 9th inst. the troopship
Octavia, with 10 officers and 426 non-commissioned
officers, rank, and file, under command of Major
Catty, 6th Iteg,t., bound for Calcutta, which sailed
on the morning of the 4th inst. from Gravesend,
was off the Isle of Wight, all well, but had experi-
enced strong adverse winds.

THE MILITIA.

On Friday the Northumberland Artillery Militia
met at Tynemouth, and after the whole force were
mustered they marched to the North Shields Rail-
way station and proceeded by special train to the
old border town of Hexham, where they will un-
dergo 28 days' drill. At present the garrisons at
Newcastle and Tynemouth -are occupied by the
Sherwood Foresters. On Friday the Newcastle and
Northumberland Yeomanry Cavalry, after under-
going eight days' drill, were reviewed on the Town
Moor, Newcastle, by Col. Bell, their commander,
and by Col. Mellish, of the Sherwood Foresters.
The Northumberland Light Infantry Militia, com-
manded by Col. Bigge, are to be called up at Aln-
wick on the 28th ; the Durham Artillery Militia
meet at Bishop Auckland on the 27th, under the
command of Col. H. Stobart.
The King's Own. Light Infantry (Ist Tower
Hamlets Militia) has, since its embodiment in Nov.
last, furnished upwards of 250 volunteers to the line.
The regiment is stationed at the Curragh Camp.
The 3d Royal Lancashire Militia assembled for
21 days' training at Preston on the 7th inst., under
the command of Col. J. Wilson Patten, M.P., and
Aide-de-camp to the Queen, and mustered 836 men
of all ranks, with 23 officers. This regiment has
given upwards of 400 men to the line since the Ist
of March, 18.17.

The Norfolk Artillery Militia has assembled
(400 strong) at Great Yarmouth.
The West Essex Militia, which has assembled at
Chelmsford for training and exercise, is 321 men
short of the nominal strength of the muster roll
662.
The Royal North Lincoln Militia, quartered at
Portsmouth, are held in readiness to proceed to Ire-
land on being relieved by the 2d Cheshire Militia
from. Aldershot t.

GREAT FIRE IN WHITECHAPEL.---LuSt night
(Sunday) a fire took place in the extensive range_ etf-cppre-
inises belonging 0 the East London Plate and Shee ,lass
Company, situate at No. 45, Leman-street Goodman's-
fields, Whitechapel. The premises in which' the disaster
began were two stories high, and contained a great quantity
of property. Owing to the inflammable nature of the contents
of the place, the flames ...spread with amazing rapidity, so
that in a few minutes the whole of the manufacturing pre-
mises became enveloped in flames. The parish engines,
five of the London Briade from Jeffrey-square, Well-
square, Watling-street, Farringdon-street, and
t!cross-street, and the West of England engine were
speedilyoerte at
work, but did not succeed in getting the mastery
flames until the warehouses and workshops were
nearly destroyed.
As to the origin of the accident not the
least information could be obtained. The loss is veryheavy,
as the top of the workshops
other'valuable woods, all 4.4,7 h filled with veneers and
it is believed that the siiffmt ave.been.consumed, but
was partially insured,
•

sity do not overrule sanitary considerations, the ad
vice and opinion of the medical officer of health
should be received on the sites of camps, whether
temporary or permanent, and on all matters having
reference to the sanitary condition of the camp.
In a recent report to her Majesty by a Royal com-
mission, of which I was ',:a member, and which was
ordered to inquire into the organisation, govern-
ment, and direction of the medical department of
the British army, the appointment of a medical offi-
cer of health, as long recommended by me for the
service of the Indian army, was strongly urged
upon her Majesty's attention, with a view to the
great benefits to be expected from the services of
such an officer.

THE FALL OF A TUNNEL ON THE
HAMPSTEAD RAILWAY,

work it in conjunction with the North London
line.
What renders the escape of the men the more
miraculous is, that in the tunnel works they all
have to labour with candles, and when the fall took
place nearly. every one of them, by the sudden
pressure of air, was extinguished. In the momen-
tary consternation it was sadly feared that some of
the workmen might have been buried, but on the
muster roll being called every man answered.
With respect to the conduit field, which now ex-
hibits in its centre and upper part a gap, as if there
had been an earthquake, the visitors to Hampstead
by the western side from the Chalcot-villas and over
the mouth of the North Western Railway tunnel,
will recognise it as the second field beyond the
enclosure, known as Bellsize Park, formerly the
residence of Mr. Wright, the unfortunate banker
of Henrietta-street, Covent-garden, and rendered
notorious for being the place selected by Hocker for
the murder of Delarue some years since. In the
centre of this field stands a bricked conduit or well,
which is always plentifully supplied with very beau-
tiful water, derived from a natural spring. About
50 feet beyond this ran the tunnel which has fallen
in, and great apprehension exists among the in-
habitants that the occurrence may have damaged
the spring, and may prevent them having their water
supply. This, however, proves not to be the case.
It is believed that there is a further consultation
about to be held amongst several eminent engineers
as to the best course to be adopted in carrying out
the future works with as little delay as possible:

THE _RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT
LOSTOCK JUNCTION.

" One of the Excursionists" writes to the Man-
chester Guardian as follows

" On out journey from Southport to Lostock, it
appeared to me that we travelled slower than I had
anticipated, and I feared that we were not going
to reach Lostock until near the time at which the
ordinary passenger train from Manchester to
Preston was due, and that if we had to shunt before
it came up, there might be less time than was
desirable. On reaching Lostock, the train was
brought to a standstill between the ticket office
and the inn, on the south side of the line on the
Wigan and Southport branch. Here the tickets
were collected, the engine being then nearly oppo-
site to the station-master's house. From this house
and the station there is an incline towards the
shunts, which are on the Bolton side, the ground
and rails falling towards Bolton. It appears to
be customary at this station, when a train is to be
shunted from the Preston and Chorley branch on
to the Wigan and Southport branch, or from the
latter to the former, to do it in the following
manner:—After the train was fairly got on to the
incline, the engine and tender are detached from it,
run on rapidly before, leaving the train to move on
down the incline by its own weight and acquired mo-
mentum. After the enginehas left the train a consider-
able distance, and passed the shunts, it is reversed,
driven rapidly back, and by, means of the shunts,
regulated by the pointsman, is passed on to the other
line before the train has reached the shunts. The
train is allowed to move on by its own gravity down
the incline until the last carriage has passed the
shunts ; the engine which bas been waiting on the
other line is then brought down after it, attached
to what was previously the last carriage, but which
then becomes the first ; and the train is then, by
means of the engine and: the shunts, brought on to
the other line, and proceeds on its journey to its
destination.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 13, 1858

minutes after the catastrophe. Part of it had been
carried from Mr. Almond's mill into the field oppo-
site. In his opinion the boiler plates at the top of
the flue over the fire box had been overheated and
made red hot. He was quite sure of that, because
they presented that colour which would be pro-
duced by heated iron having water thrown upon
it. The water would be immediately converted
into steam, and there not being sufficient means for
its escape, an explosion would be the consequence.
He could not form an opinion of what pressure the
engine had been working at. The boiler was not
made of Low Moor iron, nor was the fire box. It
would have burst.if it had been made of Low Moor
iron, and, in his opinion, the damage in that case
would have been greater. The boiler could have
been safely worked at a pressure of 401bs. ; it would
even have borne with safety a pressure of 601bs. to
the inch, and 801bs. before it would have burst.
Six or seven inches of water would evaporate in
abou three•quarters of an hour.
By a Juror—The safety valve had been used
before it was fixed in the boiler, but he could not
say it was any worse for that.
Mr. C. H. Holt, engineer to the Huddersfield Dis-
trict Association for the Prevention of Boiler Ex-
plosions, deposed that he examined the exploded
boiler on Wednesday last. He found it 18 feet 2
inches long by 5 feet 6 inches in diameter. He
examined the collapsed flue, and found nothing
which would justify him in stating that it had been
overheated, and he was decidedly of opinion that
it had not been red hot. He also examined the flue
internally, and found there no indication of its hav-
ing been red hot. He found soot on the top of the
fire-box in several places, and also at the back end
of the flue. Had the plates been red hot, that could
not have been there. He examined the flue, which
was fully one inch oval at the fire-box end, where
it apparently had not been disturbed. This would
materially weaken the strength of the flue, and his
decided opinion was that the boiler had collapsed
from over pressure.
The jury, after consulting together for about a
quarter of an hour, returned a verdict to the effect,
that the " deceased were accidentally killed by the
explosion of a steam boiler, but from what cause
the said boiler exploded there was no positive evi-
dence to show."

DR. LIVINGSTONE'S EX

(From the Ceylon Observer of July 24.)

The long-expected Pearl is at length in our road-
stead, and will, we imagine, speedily visit the
northern and eastern divisions of the island. She
is a fine model of a steamer, and some of our readers
may be glad to see reproduced the following de-
scription, which appeared in our columns some
months ago :
The length of the vessel is 145 feet at the keel and 160
feet on the upper deck ; her breadth 24 feet and her depth
111 feet. Her tonnage is 448 by the old or builder's rule ;
her gross register tonnage 335, and net register tonnage
267. She has direct acting engines of 70 horse-power ; and
on her trial she accomplished the rate of nine knots an hour.
Her outfit will include 12 sleeping places, bedding, all
appropriate cabin furniture both in the saloon and in the
state rooms, services for breakfast, dinner, and tea, together
with nautical and optician's stores, such as Compasses, spy-
glass, barometer, and such other articles the whole to be
included in the price of the vessel. A supply of the compo-
sition for preserving iron—the • same as that which is used
in her Majesty's navy—will likewise be secured.

THE DISTRESSING FATALITY AT
WOLVERHAMPTON.

On Friday Mr. W. H. Phillips, deputy coroner,
opened the inquest, at the Fighting Cocks Inn, at
Blakenall, on the body of the young girl Emma
Griffiths, who, under the distressing circumstances
already recorded, threw herself down an old coal-
pit shaft near the above-named inn on Wednesday
last. The following evidence was given :
Sophia Harper, wife of Joseph Harper, collier,
had known deceased four months ; she was about
fifteen years of age, and had been living as servant
of all work at the beer-house of William Traunter,
at Blakenall. Traunter was also .a collier. Deceased
always appeared in her right mind. Witness saw
deceased last on Tuesday morning, when her
mother sent for her and asked if her daughter had
been sleeping in her (witness's) house. Witness
replied that she had not. Deceased was then cry-
ing, and appeared much distressed. Witness went
with the jury and- identified the body, which the
jury remarked appeared that of a " mere child."
William Cartwright, a blast furnaceman, deposed
that at about 11 o'clock on Wednesday morning he
saw the deceased running up the road leading from
Penn to Bilston. Her father was then 20 yards
behind her. When she came to Dainty's garden,
without speaking a word, she turned along a by-
road leading to the Cockshut engine, ran up the
bank which surrounded the pit, which is about six
feet from the path and 20 yards from the turnpike-
road. She flew to the pit like a bird, and rolled
over the wooden protection around the pit on her
side. Witness was quite sure that the deceased did
it wilfully.
[Here the Coroner and jury proceeded to the pit
in question. The shaft was protected with some
stout oak planking, reaching up about three feet
from the ground. It was evident that the suicide
must have been the result of much deliberation.]
Examination continued—Witness heard the de-
ceased fall upon the scaffolding, which was 69 yards
from the mouth of the shaft.

To the courtesy of Capt. Duncan, the commander
of the Pearl, we are indebted for the following nar-
rative of the proceedings of the great African ex-
plorer, Dr. Livingstone, up to the period at which
the Pearl finally parted from the Ma Robert (the
name of the iron launch) at the mouth of the Zam-
besi :

If D,

"PEDITION. not there is a report on board that we are to transfer Dr.
Livingstone and his traps to the Hermes, and that she will
land him at Quilimane ; we shall be sorry to part with him,
for he is exceedingly civil and agreeable to us all, and
evidently a fine fellow, and may all good luck go with
him. •

FIRE AT G_REENTTICH.-TWO CHIL-
DREN BURNT TO D.EATII.

Yesterday morning, shortly before four o'clock, a
fire, which resulted m the death of two children—
the one a girl, aged five and a half years, and the
other a boy, aged one year and nine months—broke
out at the residence of Mr. Roper, corn merchant,
Royal-hill, Greenwich. The fire was first discovered
by police-constable Haycraft, 381 8., whoTerceived
an ususual light in the upper part of the house, and
on proceeding to the shop-window and placing his
hand against the shutters found-that the place was
in flames. He immediately raised a cry of " Fire!"
and sprang his rattle. At this moment, Mr. Roper
with his wife and infant (Mrs. Roper having only
been confined on Thursday last), accompanied by
the nurse, in their night clothes, made their escape
by the street door, and police-constable Odd, 123
R, coming up at the time, he immediately ran for
the parish fire escape and engine, there being at
that moment the two children above-named, and a
nurse-girl, about 15 years of age, sleeping in the
front attic. The flames had now gained a complete
mastery over the entire building, and although the
fire escape station is not distant more than two
minutes' walk, it was at least a quarter of an hour
before the fire escape was brought to the spot.
During this time the servant-girl of Mr. Roper, who
had escaped by the attic window, remained on the
roof, screaming frantically, and. only kept from
throwing herself into the street by an assurance
that the fire escape was coming. Police-constable
Abbott, 350 R, here made an attempt to enter the
attic by being assisted on to the projecting shop-
front, but the heat was too great, and he was ob-
liged to abandon the attempt. The flames were
now speedily encircling the girl on the roof, when
Smart with his machine arrived, and having ascen-
ded it succeeded in bringing down the girl, but not
before she had been considerably burnt about the
legs and arms. Soon afterwards the roof fell in,
and all hopes of saving the two children were at an
end. Every exertion was therefore made to prevent
the flames extending to an adjoining building, the
inmates of which had to escape in a state of nudity,
and the hose of the town engine having been at-
attached to one of the mains of the Kent Water-
works Company, a plentiful supply of water was
obtained, by which means the fire was speedily
subdued, the engine from the Southwark-bridge
road, and the West of England engine arriving in
the meantime. A search was afterwards made
among the ruins, and the bodies, or rather the
.barred remains, of the two children were found
together, having fallen through from the front
attic, with the bed upon which they had been sleep-
ing, into the shop, thus favouring the supposition
that death must have resulted from suffocation.
There can be little doubt but that had the escape
been sooner on the spot, or other assistance by lad-
ders readily available, both lives might have been
saved. But this will be a point to be explained at
the official investigation which will take place.
The bodies were placed in a shell and removed to
the premises of Mr. Musgrove, undertaker, to await
an'mquest. Mrs. Roper and her infant were taken
• to a neighbour's, where they now remain, but from
the shock which she has thus sustained, fears are
entertained as to her ultimate recovery. The cause
of the fire is unknown. The premises and stock-in-
, trade are understood to be insured in the Kent Firs
Office.

COUNTRY MAR SETS.

ROCHESTER—SEPT. 11.
At this corn exchange to-day several new samples of
white wheat were brought forward by the farmers, but, on
the whole, the quality was not so good as last week. There
was a small supply of old wheat, which was readily taken
off at the prices of last market ; buyers, however' were in-
disposed to make sales to any great extent. The deliveries
of barley are now on the increase, as the malting season is
drawing on.

NOTTINGHAM-SEPT. 11.

There was a fair supply of wheat in our market to-days
and prices were barely the same as last week. New white
samples sold at 51s and red 47s ; old white 50s, and old red
46s per qr. Not much change in the price of barley, grind-
ing samples being disposed of at 32s per 30 stone. There
was some new'malting samples at market, realising 37s to
41s per qr. Oats 30s to 345, and new 27s to 31s per 24 st.
