THE Al? Mr.

Mess Ts. Sidney Herbert, Dr. Sutherland, and the
other Government Commissioners visited Dundalk
Barrack during the past week, as we,l as those of
Drogheda, Newry, and Armagh, accompanied by
the barraekmaster of the district, Capt. Shrapnel.
The report that Dundallzis the best and most health..
ful cavalry ,barrack in Ireland. It is expected that
Dundalk will be selected as a cavalry depot, as it is
certain that a large tract of land has been laid off
outside the present boundary as a rifle range.
P tYesterday. afternoon Major-Gen. H. Eyre, the
Commandant at Chatham, had the whole of the
troops now at that garrison assembled on Chatham
lines for brigade drill. The troops on the ground
consisted of the three battalions of Infantry, each
about 1,000 strong, the corps of Royal Engineers,
and the battalion of Royal Marine Light Infantry,
to the number of about 4,000 men of all ranks. After
the troops had been formed in line, Gen. Eyre
arrived on the ground, and immediately put them
through a variety of brigade and other movements.
Although the men belonging to the Indian depots
are mostly young soldiers, the steadiness and preci-
cision with which they executed the various move-
ments showed the high state of discipline to which
they have been brought in a comparatively short
time. The battalions of infantry at Chatham can
now furnish nearly 1,000 men of all ranks.
The first of the additional companies of Royal
Engineers to be sent to the Mediterranean left head-
quarters, Chatham, yesterday morning, the company
selected for embarkation being the 28th. The offi-
cers who left Chatham to embark with the 28th
company were Capt. E. L. Bland, Lieuts. H. F. C.
Lewin, and M. Lambert.

On Monday Lieut.-Gen. Love, Inspector-General
of Infantry, attended by Major Page, Aide-de-
amp, visited Colchester, for the purpose of
making his half-yearly inspection of the troops
at the camp. The same day the 9th depot bat-
talion, consisting of the Ist Royals, 6th, 54th, 56th,
66th, and 88th- depots, under the command of
C.
Lieut.-Col. Dixon, 8., assembled on parade for
the inspection of their kits, and afterwards
the books of the battalion were examined.
On the following
day (Tuesday) the 10th depot
battalion, comprising the sth Fusileers, 34th, 44th,
37th, 38th, 97th depots, under the command of
Lieut.-Col. Street, C. 8., underwent a similar ordeal
of inspection, after which Gen. Love proceeded
with Col. Bloomfield, commandant of the camp, and
the staff to inspect the hospital. Yesterday (Wed-
nesday) the two depot battalions, numbering up-
wards of 1,000 men, headed by the corps of fifes
and drums, playing lively martial airs, marched
from the camp to the old barrack ground (where
the British German Legion were encamped when
stationed at Colchester), for the purpose of being
inspected in review order. Among the mounted
officers in the field, besides Lieut.-Gen. Love and
his Aide-de-Camp, were Colonel Bloomfield (late of
the 11th Regiment of Foot, the newly appointed

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
Hooping Cough.—This harassing disease, now very preva-
lent and swelling the bills of mortality, is sure to extend its
dominion, for its contagiousness contaminates all children
previously unaffected. Fortunately for humanity this
alarming disorder is now fully placed under control by
Holloway's Ointment, which allays the nervous irritability
and checks the disease. Children of all ages and constitu-
tons are daily saved by rubbing this ointment on the spine
and chest. Its virtues penetrate the skin, enter the blood,
repress irritation, prevent inflammation, and moderate the
cough, whose paroxysms they ere long subdue. If old
fits. used simultaneously
enough, the little patient should take Holloway's Pills to
soonave quellfuturert

BANQUET 2'O SIR W. ARMSTRONG, C.B,

On Tuesday a public banquet was given to Sir
William G. Armstrong, C. 8., the Government In-
spector of Rifled Ordnance, in the Assembly-rooms,
Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The banquet was in com-
memoration of Sir William's having been knighted
by her Majesty for his inventions in connection
with rifled ordnance. Sir G. Grey, M.P., presided,
and in proposing the health of the guest of the
evening, passed a high eulogium upon his personal
worth and his scientific abilities. Sir Wm. Arm-
strong, in returning thanks, expressed his belief
that the power which science gave, whether ap-
plied to peace or war, was always on the side of
civilisation, and that the spread of civilisation must
tend, necessarily, to diminish war and to render it
less barbarous. With respect to the "Armstrong
gun," he said it was absurd to suppose that there
was any secret about its general constriction, which
was already known to hundreds of persons, and
which had been already approximately described
in many publications ; but there were many details
which would require to be mastered before foreign
nations could make it. After mentioning several
instances of the power of his gun, which he said
would carry either shot or shell—the latter most
destructively in naval warfare—Sir William said
his experiments had commenced in 1854, and were
carried on for nearly three years. Whea the re-
sults of his invention were ascertained all his pre-
vious disbursements were refunded by the Govern-
ment, and he took the opportunity of stating that
the Duke of Newcastle, Lord Panmure, and Gen.
Peel, successive Ministers of War, had alike af-
forded him countenance and support, as had also
all the permanent authorities at the War-office.
Referring to the arrangement which the Govern-
ment had made with him, he said he had declined
the offer of a pecuniary compensation for his outlay
and invention, and had proposed to them that he
should receive a salary of £2,000 per annum, com-
mencing from a period of three years back, during
which nearly his whole time had been given to the
subject, and continuing for seven years to come he
undertaking to give them the benefit of all his in-
formation and experience, and to relinquish in their
favour all future inventions relating to the gun.
Appreciating fully, as he did, the gracious recogni-
tion of his services by her Majesty, he only valued
the arrangement he had entered into as a means of
enabling him to ride his hobby with more effect as
well for the public advantage as his own satisfac-
tion. In conclusion, Sir William denied, to the
best of his knowledge and belief, that any person
who had been connected with his works had gone
into the service of any foreign Government.

PRUSSIA.

A Berlin letter says :--" The placing of the
whole Prussian army on a war footing, which was
ordered about a week ago, is now a fait accomPlit
and the last reserves have rejoined their regiments•
In order to support the diplomatic efforts which
Prussia will perhaps attempt at the first moment
when she sees any chance of re-establishing a peace,
offering guarantees for stability, 200,000 men are
ready to march, and 300,000 more would follow
them in a week. A rumour is current in the
diplomatic world that the King, feeling himself
still unable to bear the fatigue of Government,
intends to abdicate immediately after his return to
Sans-Souci. It is not until the Regent shall have
taken the title of King that the projected inter-
view with the Emperor Alexander will take place.

RUSSIA.

The Journal de St. Petersbonrg expresses itself
as follows on the subject of a treaty between
Russia and France We have received a tele-
graphic despatch, containing an extract from all
article in the. Times, which has produced a great
sensation in London. We can only regard those
assertions as mere Stock Exchange manoeuvres,
which appear to have produced the desired effect,
since the funds immediately declined in London,
and we are able to state positively that they are
completely false."

" The aim of the author is to present a common-sense view
of the Causes, Nature, Consequences, and Treatment of this
Disease, as also to free these questions from the Professional
Fallacies, the Popular Delusions, and the exaggerations of
Quackery by which they have hitherto been surrounded, to the
destruction of the health and happiness of thousands. These
objects are discussed in a common-sense and highly practical
manner."—Medical Circular.

AUSTRIA.

A Vienna letter in the German Journal of
Frankfort says :—" The Emperor Francis Joseph
has received from the Emperor of Russia, an auto-
graph letter which may be considered as a reply to
that conveyed by Count Caroly to St. Petersburg.
The letter of the Emperor Alexander is said to have
given satisfaction, but it appears that it has not
been sufficient to remove all uneasiness with regard
to Russia, as may be seen by the fact of Prince
Windischgratz having been sent on a mission to the
Russian capital."

became sick again and retched very violently when
she threw it up. A second attempt was made to in-
duce her to take the soup, and with the same
result. Dr. Smethurst would not let me remain
with my sister as she was too ill to bear it. He said
she was much worse since taking Dr. Todd's pills.
The next day he sent me to town to get some me-
dicine, and when I brought it down he said he had
changed the treatment and would not give it to her.
He did not know the police had been communicated
with, but they were in the house. Smethurst was
greatly agitated, and said that Dr. Julius had ac-
cused him of poisoning my sister. After this I gave
her some arrowroot, and she did not vomit it. A
nurse had been sent for, and was with her at that
time. I gave her arrowroot several times, and she
never did on any one occasion vomit it. She took
food and arrowroot from me during the night, and
was perfectly sensible, and she had no return of the
retching. She appeared better, and on the Tuesday
I gave her some brandy arid water, and after that
she sank into a state of unconsciousness, and I
never saw her again alive. She died that day.
Mrs. Smith, of Rifle-terrace, and Mrs. Graboster,
of Kildare-terrace,gave evidence as to the deceased
and prisoner having been living at their respective
boarding-houses. •
Lucy Ambrose, the pew-opener of Battersea
Church, proved the marriage of the prisoner with
the deceased on the 9th of December, 1858, in which
she was corroborated by Mr. Spier, the clerk.
Other evidence was given as to the prisoner and
deceased having lived as man and wife.
Mr. Frederick Barnum • Senior, a solicitor of
Richmond, proved the facts as stated by Mr. Ser-
geant Ballantine in his opening address regarding
the making of the will.
Jemima Chetwood, the nurse, corroborated part
of the statement of Miss Bankes, respecting the de-
ceased keeping food on her stomach when left to
their care.

Inspector M'lntyre took the prisoner into custody,
and found on him the letter addressed to his first
wife. It had never been through the post, and the
stamp was not cancelled.

Alter some discussion the prisoner was remanded
for a week.

Alessandria :

" Soldiers of the 3d corps d'armee of the army
of the Alps—Called together in all haste from the
different parts of France to give your powerful aid
to a brave and friendly nation, iniquitously invaded
by Austria, you soon assembled here round the
chiefs chosen by the Emperor to direct you. Those
chiefs you are all acquainted with. They have
often been your guides on the field of battle, where
most of you have learnt to confide in them: For
the first tirne I can, in the campaign which is about

to open, address myself to you and say that the
honour of having the chief command of soldiers
of your value is only equalled by my confidence
in you, and in the success which awaits us-
Soldiers ! the precipitate march which you have
just made across the Alps has not allowed the
solicitude of the Emperor's Government to supply
you with all of which you stand in need; YOU
will soon receive it, but in the meantime you will
know how to supply the deficiency by your de-
votedness, your energy, and your constancy. You
must call to mind that the warriors, our fore-
fathers, who have preceded us in those fine coun-
tries, were in want of everything at the time that
they covered the flag of France and the country
with immortal glory. The great French army will
soon find itself opposite the Austrian army ; they
are old acquaintances ; both have seen each other
at Lodi, at Arcole, and at Wagram—illustrious
names which you will soon cause to be followed by
others equally glorious."

The Provisional Government of Tuscany has
addressed a memorandum to the members of the
diplomatic body lately accredited to the Grand
Ducal Court. It bears the date of the 2d, and is 0.
lengthy expose of the events before the late revolu-
tion : the effervescence caused by the first intelli-
gence of the misunderstanding existing between
France and Austria; the subsequent political pub-
lications ; the growing desire of the people to
enter into an alliance with Piedmont ; the
inflexibility of the Grand Duke on this point;
the patriotic feeling of the army, and the ulti-
mate departure of the Sovereign on the 27th ult.
The letter of Gen. Ferrari, with his plan of bom-
barding the capital from Fort Belvedere, is not for-
gotten, and the document concludes with explain-
ing the reasons which induced the Provisional
Government to join Piedmont and proclaim the
dictatorship of the King of Sardinia.
The Duke of Modena, by a decree dated the 3d,
has concentrated all political and police powers in
the hands of his commandant of dragoons.

PRUSSIA.

A Berlin letter says :--" The placing of the
whole Prussian army on a war footing, which was
ordered about a week ago, is now a fait accomplit
and the last reserves have rejoined their regiments.
In order to support the diplomatic efforts which
Prussia will perhaps attempt at the first moment
when she sees any chance of re-establishing a peace
offering guarantees for stability, 200,000 men are
ready to march, and 300,000 more would follow
them in a week. A rumour is current in the
diplomatic world that the King, feeling himself
still unable to bear the fatigue of Government,
intends to abdicate immediately after his return to
Sans-Souci. It is not until the Regent shall have
taken the title of King that the projected inter-
view with the Emperor Alexander will take place.
The Grand Duchess Maria of Leuchtenberg has
arrived here from Dresden."

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST.
The report of the directors, to be submitted to the
meeting of proprietors on the 26th inst., has just
been issued :
The accounts for the half-year ending June 30,
1859, are subjoined, and show the following results :
The amount of capital Taised to the 30th June,
1859, is £8,397,879, consisting of : Mortgage debt,
£1,720,985 ; debenture stock, £397,100 ; preference
capital, £1,661,240; consolidated stock, £4,618,554
—total, £8,397,879. The amount of capital outlay
has been £246,038, of which £lBO,OOO has been in
respect of this company's contribution to the
Victoria station and Pimlico Railway, making
£337,500 now charged on that account ;
£24,984 for the new Henfield line, which is
being rapidly proceeded with ; £15,419 towards
the completion of the Norwood Junction sta-
tion ; and the remainder for the stations on the
Uckfield and Mid-Sussex lines, and for sundry works
and additional vehicles rendered necessary by the
increasing traffic and the larger number of miles
worked. The issue of the Four per Cent. Debenture
Stuck proceeds satisfactorily, and powers have been
inierted in the bill now before Parliament enabling
the company to issue the whole or a portion of this
stock in anticipation of bonds falling due. This
will permit the directors to avail themselves at any
time of a favourable state of the money market, and
to issue debenture stock without the necessity of
waiting until a proportionate amount of bonds falls
due.
The gross revenue for the half-year has been
£365,686, being an increase of £21,116, as compared
with the corresponding period of 1858. Of this
increase £10,796 arises in the coaching traffic,
£5,340 in the goods traffic, and the remainder from
the 421 per cent. on the receipts of the West-end
and Crystal Palace line, retained by this company
as the allowance for working the local traffic on
that branch. It is satisfactory to state that the in-
crease has been general and proportionate on every
part of the company's system, with the exception
of Epsom, where, by the opening of the South-
Western Company's competing line, a loss of about
£4,000 has been occasioned. The details of expen-
diture for the half-year ending 30th June are fully
given in the subjoined abstracts :
