A letter from Naples says :—" It would seem as
if Victor Emmanuel would leave Naples in the
week after Christmas, but it is not easy to
obtain any certain information on that subject.
The King is apt to take sudden resolutions, and to
adhere to them. He was to have scayed some days
longer at Palermo. The Sicilians were beginning
to press him with solicitations, in order to induce
him to remain for the grand fetes of the immacu-
late Conception. His Majesty got annoyed, and
immediately gave orders for his departure, no mat-
ter what the wind and weather might be, and three
hours after ho left .Sicily. The same thing may
happen at Naples ; but, before he goes, it is said
that he will give a farewell ball at the Palace. The
ladies of Naples are preparing an address to the
fair dames of Northern Italy, expressive of their
sisterly feelings, like that sent by the ladies of
Mantua to the women of England, thanking them
for their sympathy for the Italian cause during
the late war."

TBE ARMY.

Yesterday the troops composing the garrison at
Chatham were occupied in some military opera-
tions on an extensive scale, the plan and details of
which were arranged by Major-General Eyre, com-
manding the forces of the Chatham district, and
executed under his direction. The nature of
the operations undertaken supposed the presence of
a large attacking force in the neighbourhood of the
garrison, an attack on which was imminent, the
enemy having concentrated himself within a few
miles of the town. In order to watch his move-
ments and to repel the expected attack, the whole
strength of the garrison was matched to the
locality in which his forces were concentrated,which
was supposed to be the district around Gad's-hill,
between Gravesend and Rochester. The troops
ordered to be employed in the operations were the
mounted Royal Engineer Train, who were to act
as cavalry; the corps of Royal and Indian Engi-
neerP, the three battalions of Infantry of the Line
quartered at Chatham, and the division of Royal
Marines Light Infantry, together numbering about
5,000 bayonets. In consequence of the somewhat
lengthened details of the operations to be under-
taken it was necessary that the troops should be in
motion early, and each division was accordingly
paraded in front of its respective quarters shortly
after 9 o'clock, when the various bodies marched off
to the general parade-ground at Chatham Barracks,
where the final orders for the day were issued by
Major-General Eyre, and the disposition of the
forces made. Each man was provided with 20
rounds of ammunition. The advanced guard was
formed of the Royal Engineers, several companies
of which, protected by cavalry, moved off in the
direction of the supposed force, the main road,how-
ever, being avoided. After a short lapse of time
the main body quitted the garrison, the reer guard
being composed of the Royal Marines, and marched
through Rochester and across the Medway, taking
the direction of the oldßomanWatling-street,towards
a spot known as the Hemitage, the whole country
leading to which was reconnoitred by the cavalry.
The Royal Engineers proceeded by various routes to
Gad's-hill, where, on the arrival of the main body,
the whole were reformed, and took up their posi-
tions to repel the supposed attack, pickets and
skirmishers being thrown out in various directions.
The entire force then marched by the main road
towards Chatham, which was reached at 2 o'clock,
the men having been under arms five hours. By
direction of Major. General Eyre, the officers who
took part in the operations are to prepare a sketch
of the country traversed, as well as a detailed re-
port of the day's proceedings, giving a description
of the locality and its adaptation, or otherwise for
operations by cavalry, artillery, or infantry troops.

Sir Sohn Crampton reports yesterday that Lord
Elgin, in a letter of the Bth of November, informs
him of the ratification and publication of the Treaty
with China, and of the march of the army to Tient-

His Lordship makes no mention of the prisoners,
but states that he is indebted to General Tgnatieff
for the manner in which that Minister had promoted
the object of his negotiations.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

There was a large supply of beasts on offer to-day, in
full average condition. All kinds met a dull inquiry, at a
decline in the quotations, compared with Monday, of from
4d to 6d per 81b. The top figure for the best Scots was
4s 10d per Slbs. The show of sheep was only moderate,
and the mutton trade ruled steady at Monday's currency.
Primo Downs were worth 5s 10d per Slb. We have no
change to notice in the value of calves, the supply of which
was moderate, and the sale for them wes by no means
active. Pigs supported late rates, with a moderate demand.
Milch cows were very dull.

ROYAL lIUMANE SOCIETY.

A meeting of the governors of this institution
was held yesterday at the offices of the society,
Trafalgar-square, under the presidency of Mr. T.
E. Baker, the treasurer. The minutes of the pre-
vious meeting having been read and confirmed, the
following gentlemen were elected on the committee
as new members :—Sir William Fraser, Admiral
Cator, Captain Egerton, R.N., and Mr. H. Cart-
wright, F.G.S. The committee recommended the
case of Joseph Killingbeck to the next general
court for the award of the silver medal of the society.
It appears that on the evening of the 17th ult. a
boy named Joseph Sheldon was in the act of emp-
tying the water out of a bucket of a well at Huns-
let, near Leeds, and while doing so made a false
step and fell backwards down the well to the depth
of about 18 yards, there being at the time about 18
feet of water in the well. On the alarm being
given two men, named Brooksbank and Killing-
beck, ran to the spot, and the former let down the
bucket to the boy, but Killingbeck, telling Brooks-
bank to hold the handle, slid down the chain. He
then seized the boy by one hand and the chain by
the other and called to Brooksbank to draw them
up, but they had only got about midway between
the water end the top of the well when the chain
broke, and both were again precipitated to the
bottom. Killingbeck, however, again seized the
boy, and directed him to hold by the chain which
had again been let down, and he ultimately reached
the top in safety; the chain was then sent down
to Killingbeck, and, he wee Ably .drawn up., The
bronze-medarOf 'the sod *at recommended to
be awarded to the following :—ToFrederickWatts,
ablebodied seaman of her Majesty's ship Sphinx,
for saving Peter Elms, seaman, whose boat was
swamped in the river of Peiho, China, on the Ist
of September last; to Llewellyn Lloyd, schoolboy,
aged 11, for saving Alfred Warrington, a child
between three and four years old, who accidentally
' fell into a pool near Chester on the 3d ult. ; and to
John Murphy, watchman, for saving Ann urchill,
a young woman, aged 20, who attempted suicide
by jumping into the river at Cork on the Ist
instant. Pecuniary rewards of £1 each were
given to Wm. Read, gate foreman, for saving J.
Sutherland, ship's carpenter, and his son, who acci-
dentally fell into the water at the West India Dock
entrance on the 22d ult. ; and to John Donovan,
labourer, for saving Philip Mason,a little boy four
years of age, who accidentally fell into the Thames,
at Hungerford-wharf, on the Ist inst. Donovan
has been rewarded before by the Royal Humane
Society for saving life. After the disposal of some
further business of a mere formal character, the
usual compliment was passed to the chairman, and
the proceedings terminated.

TEE NAVY.

The Spiteful, 6, paddle, Commander Wilson,
which arrived at Spithead on Monday from Devon-
port, sailed again yesterday.
It is expected that the screw steamship Hero, 91,
Commodore George Seymour, will be detained
some time in the Keyham steamyard, in conse-
quence of her fore foot and several parts of her keel
having been knocked away. It appears that she
must have been ashore during the Royal visit to
America.

The iron screw steam sloop Megxra, 6, Com-
mander H. Henderson, at Portsmouth, will call at
Plymouth to embark supernumeraries for the vari-
ous ships in the Mediterranean.
During their last official visit to the port of Ply-
mouth and the Arsenal at Devonport, the Lords of
the Admiralty expressed their gratification at the
progress of the boys on board the training ship
Implacable, 24, Commander John W. Dorville, in
Hamoaze. Their Lordships were especially pleased
by the skill and activity with which the ship's
canvass was handled. The discipline having conti-
nued good, the Board has now granted all the boys
(400) 14 days' leave of absence, and has paid their
fares to their homes in various parts of England
and Ireland ; 340 boys left Plymouth on Monday.
Steam was got up yesterday (Wednesday) on
board the screw steam troopship Himalaya, Cap-
tain S. Seccombe, and in the afternoon she was
appointed to go from Hamoaze into the Sound.
Her further movements are unknown ; she may
go outside the Breakwater to try her repaired ma-
chinery and returned to the Sound, or proceed to
Portsmouth. Some ten days since it was rumoured
at Plymouth that her ultimate destination was the
East Indies and China; now a voyage to New Zea-
land, with troops, is spoken of as very probable.
Steam was got up yesterday (Wednesday) on
board the screw steam guavessel Nimble, 5, in key-
ham steam basin, to try her new Griffith's propeller.
The fitting of the screw steam frigate Narcissus,
51, at Devonport, is progressing. Her topmasts
are on end, jibboom out, and rigging set up.
The sailing frigate Alarm, 26, intended for a
coal depot ship at Pembroke, was placed yesterday
(Wednesday) in No. 4 dock at the Devonport
dock-
yard.
The following appointments were made yesterday
at the Admiralty :—Capt. R. H. Risk to the Nar-
cissus ; Commander Leveson Wildman, to the Phi-
lomel ; Commander Alex. Philips to the Narcissus;
Commander Thos. Heard to the Castor, additional
for service in the Trincomalee training ship for the
Royal Naval Reserve ; W. C. Bicknell, Master, to
the Asia, for the Rinaldo; Richard E. Pym, Mas-
ter, to the Cumberland, for the Challenger; Thos,
J. Whinier, Master, to the Asia, for the Osborne ;
John Scott, Master, to the Asia, for the Princess
Royal; Geo. C. Lacken, Second Master, to the
Diadem ; Frederick Seaton, Second Master, addi-
tional to the Victory; Michael L. Guy, Second
Master, to the Porcupine ; Frederick Burne, Assis-
tant Paymaster in charge, to the Philomel ; Wm.
31. Mitchell, Clerk, to the Ariadne ; and Mr. Francis
N. H. Harvey has been nominated to a naval cadet-
ship.

THE NEAPOLITAN INDEMNITY.—A petition ill
circulating in Naples praying that the indemnity of
7,000,000 which was granted by Garibaldi, and of which
nothing has since been heard, should be forthwith dis-

THE NAVY.

The S piteful, 6, paddle, Commander Wilson,
which az rived at Spithead on Monday from Devon-
port, mai led again yesterday.
It is , expected that the screw steamship Hero, 91,
Commc ,dore George Seymour, will be detained
some ' time in the Keyham steamyard, in conse-
quen,ci 3 of her fore foot and several parts of her keel
havi•alg been knocked away. It appears that she
must: have been ashore during the Royal visit to
Am• !rim

I 'he iron screw steam sloop Megxra, 6, Com
me .nder H. Henderson, at Portsmouth, will call al
P' /mouth to embark supernumeraries for the vari-
c ms ships in the Mediterranean.

During their last official visit to the port of Ply-
mouth and the Arsenal at Devonport, the Lords of
the Admiralty expressed their gratification at the
progress of the boys on board the training ship
Implacable, 24, Commander John W. Dorville, in
Hamoaze. Their Lordships were especially pleased
by the skill and activity with which the ship's
CEllrillaS was handled. The discipline having conti-
nued good, the Board has now granted all the boys
0001 14 days' leave of absence, and has paid their
taros to their homes in various parts of England
'an d Ireland ; 340 boys left Plymouth on Monday.
Steam was got up yesterday (Wednesday) on
board the scress steam troopship Himalaya, Cap-
tain J. Seccombe, and in the afternoon she was
appointed to go from Hamoaze into the Sound.
Her further movements are unknown ; she may
go outside the Breakwater to try her repaired ma-
chinery and returned to the sound, or proceed to
Portsmouth. Some ten days since it was rumoured
at Plymouth that her ultimate destination was the
Esst Indies and China; now a voyage to New Zea-
land, with troops, is spoken of as very probable.
Steam was got up yesterday (Wednesday) on
board the screw steam gunvessel Nimble, 5, in Key-
ham steam basin, to try her new Griffith's propeller.
The fitting of the screw steam frigate Narcissus,
51, at Devonport, is progressing. Her topmasts
are on end, jibboom out, and rigging set up.
The sailing frigate Alarm, 26, intended for a
coal depot ship at Pembroke, was placed yesterday
(Wednesday) in No. 4 dock at the Devonport dock-
yard.

The following appointments were made yesterday
at the Admiralty :—Capt. R. H. Risk to the Nar-
cissus ; Commander Leveson Wildman, to the Phi-
lomel ; Commander Alex. Philips to the Narcissus;
Commander Thos. Heard to the Castor, additional
for service in the Trincomalee training ship for the

extent and a kand which is a real menace to England.
During the
_last ten years, and basing her action
on the recommendations propounded in the "
En-
quete Parlementaire" (1849), France has been
directing her efforts to the attainment of the naval
rank she formerly held among the powers of
Europe. As a professional man, Sir HOWARD
DOUGLAS seems rather to sympathise than not with
this costly ambition of France; and only to blame
our Government because, he having laid the facts
from the French official documents before it in 1853,
it did not quietly take measures to keep alongside
our ambitious rival. His own remarks, however,
convict France of unfriendly intentions towards us.
Having acknowledged her claim, as a continental
power, to maintain a large army as a condition of
safety, he adds—" Preponderating naval power
not being essential to the security of France, the
effort to acquire it can only be considered as a hos-
tile measure towards Great Britain—to which
naval supremacy is indispensable, and must be
maintained at any cost." He proposes entire freedom
from any unfriendly feeling towards France, but
he uses the facts and circumstances enumerated in
the French official document before referred to, to
prove that England must have dominant power in
the waters which surround the British Isles, and at
the same time be able to protect her numerous
colonies; for both which objects her present navy
is wholly inadequate.
The document referred to not only lays down the
plans to be adopted, and the expense to be incurred
in making France, to say the least, co-mistress of
the seas with us—it specially points to us as the
object of supposed attack; details the naval means
requisite to disembarking an army on our shores,
and speaks of us—at least Admiral DUPETIT-
THOUARS, in his evidence, does—as a nation which
had never resisted an invasion—as not having the
military spirit—as being without organization, and
that in case of war with us they had but one thing
to do—to effect a landing ! 'rhis was said nearly
10 years ago. What would he now say to the Volun-
teers, who are quite ready to answer this gasconade,
and to show him both organization and military
spirit ? The crowing of the Gallic bantams has
hardly, indeed, been audible since the Reviews at
Hyde-park, Edinburgh, and Knowsley. But the
spirit of this report is, unhappily, the spirit of
almost all Frenchmen ; and their aggressive navy
has been created by it. And, with regard to the
present, most justly does Sir H. DOUGLAS observe
—" If, when the Alliance between England and
France was formed, the Emperor of the FRENCH had
disclaimed the policy, disavowed the intentions,
and refused to give effect to, the recommendations
for a gradual increase in the navy of France for the
next ten years," the author would not advert again
to his old warnings to our Government. " But was
there then (1852), is there now, any keeping
between professions of a pacific policy on the part
of the French Government and the vast augmen-
tations of a naval force recommended by L'En-
quete Parliamentaire' in a season of profound
peace?"

THE ARMY.

The corps of Royal Engineers under the command
of 1. H. D. Harness, C. 8., underwent the official
half-yearly inspection yesterday, at Ch 11 ham, by
Major-Gen. H. Eyre, commanding the garrison and
district. A very favourable report will, it is be-
lieved, be made by the Major-General o the Duke
of Cambridge.

The 2d battalion of the 11th Regiment, and the
2d battalion of the 19th Regiment, stationed at
Portsmouth, were under orders for inspection yes-
terday and the day previous by Major-Gen. Lord
W. Paulet, C. 8., commanding the south-western
district. Owing to the inclemency of the weather
the inspection did not extend beyond the barrack
rooms, men's kits, regimental accounts, &c., his
lordship deferring the inspection of the regiments in
field mance uvres until a more favourable opportunity.

Capt. Freeth, Deputy-Assist. Quartermaster-
Gen., attached to the staff of Woolwich garrison,
having completed his five years' service, will be
superseded on the Ist of November by Major Field,
who fulfilled that post with the Royal Artillery in
the Crimea during the war. Capt. Freeth is under
orders to return to the command of his battery, No.
4 of the First Brigade Garrison Artillery, at the
head quarters, Woolwich.

The Hampshire Artillery left Pembroke Dock on
Tuesday last for Gosport, under the command of
Col. Burnaby. They numbered 17 officers, 302
men, 9 women, and 24 children. They are to be
disembodied this week.
