TIIE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 1.6, 1866.

The Commander-in-Chief has approved the fol-
lowing arrangements :—An unmarried captain to be
sent home to relieve Captain Bayliff, of the 100th
Regt., at the depot ; an unmarried captain of the
41st Regt. to be sent to the depot companies for
service ; Sergeant Master Tailor D. Behan and
Sergeant Hale, of the 18th Regt., to proceed from
the depot to the service companies ; Sergeant How-
ley, 41st Regt., to proceed from Canada to the de-
pot ; and Sergeant F. de Lisle, of the 100th Regt.,
to proceed to the Commissariat Staff Corps, on pro-
bation. Staff Assist.-Surg, Leslie has assumed the
medical charge of the troops at Landguard Fort,
Harwich, vice Assist.-Surg. Giraud, who has re-
turned to Colchester.

Commander Cambier, late of the Sparrow, five
guns, has been appointed to the Ranger, five guns,
on the West Coast of Africa, vice Nelson, invalided.
The whole of the departments at Woolwich are
now actively engaged, and many additional hands
have been added to the permanent staff of artisans
and labourers both in the Royal Arsenal and dock-
yard. In the latter establishment 150 shipwrights
have been taken on, besides a number of joiners,
carpenters, painters, and others. Engineers, smiths,
hammermen, &c., have been also added to the vari-
ous bianches of the factory. In consequence of the
tardy progress in the manufacture of wrought-iron
gun ,carriages according to the new method for ships'
use, long since commenced in the carriage depart-
ment of the Arsenal, and the urgent and re-
peated demands made by the Admiralty for a ready
supply of carriages and slides, the chain gear and
compressors for them are ordered to be made in the
dockyard factory. Lieut.-Col. Shaw, whose term
of service as Assist.-Superintendent of the Royal
Carriage Department terminated at the end of the
month, has been succeeded by Capt. Close. It was
yesterday rumoured in the department that Colonel
Shaw, who is under orders to join his brigade about
to depart for India, will be again retained in the
public service at home, for the purpose of advanc-
ing his gun-pivotting system, which has been satis-
factorily tested in the iron-cased cupola ship Prince
Albert, at sea and elsewhere. With reference
to the trials at sea, Capt. Wilmshurst reports that
the advantage of the system cannot be doubted. He

has thoroughly tested it in one of his cupolas under
varied circumstances, and amid all weathers. It is
expected, therefore, that the system is now about
to be generally introduced. A model, it is stated, is
to be prepared for the French Exhibition of next
year.

THE CHANNEL SQUADRON.

FALMOUTH, Monday Morning.
The Admiral had intimated his desire to leave
Falmouth. But at an early hour, at eight o'clock,
the ships crossed topgallant and royal yards, loosed
sails, and hauled out to a bow-line, while the strains
of the National Anthem from all the ships floated
pleasingly on the cool, calm air.
The engineers were ordered to light so many
boiler fires as would send them along at the rate of
six knots. The ironclad squadron had received on
Sunday an important addition to their number in
the shape of the Lord Clyde—an ugly shape it is,
but a formidable and efficient ship.
At ten minutes past 10 the order was given to
" weigh anchor and make all plain sail." In a
few minutes all were in motion, the Lord Clyde,
although a newly-commissioned ship, appeared very
smart aloft. There was a light air from north-west,
to which all possible sail was ordered to be made.
The Lord Clyde was the first to set hermaintopgal-
lant studding sails ; the flagship cleverly set all her
studding-sails together, or nearly all.
The order of sailing was slightly altered. The
Lord Clyde took her place in the rear of the wea-
ther line. The Liverpool took the corresponding
position in the lee line, and thus the six ships went
on, in smooth water, for an hour or two ; then the
sails were furled. The order to steam eight knots,
steering E. by S., was given ; no steam tactics or
ramming occurred. At 350 the signal to make all
possible sail was displayed, and the Caledonia again
exhibited pre-eminent smartness. It was good,
wholesome exercise for the men, if it accomplished
no other object, and will all come out very nicely
in the full; accurate, aura exhaustive report, which,
doubtless, the Admiral willplace in the hands of the
Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty in due course.
The projecting snout of the Lord Clyde forced up
a large wave before it, far greater than any of the
ironclads ; at greater speed it would probably im-
pede her progress. One night the ships went to
general quarters about 10 o'clock. They fired away
for half an hour, after which performance all
was still again. On Monday evening .we were
off the Start-point. The lights of Brixham and
Torquay sparkled pleasantly in view. The Admiral
displayed a number of lights all over his rigging,
and made a number of flashes which, as Dundreary
says, " no fellow can understand," and which were
not generally made out. It seems well that Lieut.
Colomb, R.N., or somebody, should revise this part
of the signals. On Tuesday morning we found our-
selves at anchor inside the breakwater at Portland.
It was truly a man-of-war's cruise—there and back
—and if it has proved nothing else it has at least
clearly established this—that Sir J. Pakington on a
recent occasion must have been either " kinder sar-
castic," or slightly unreasonable, or over-anxious
about the sea defence of our coasts, when he com-
plained of the attenuated state of the floating por-
tion. Have not four ironclads fairly gone, in the
month of August, from Portland to Falmouth and
back again, only putting in once at Torbay from
stress of weather, without breaking down or running
into each other or getting ashore ? Have they not
fired their guns at sea ? Did they not actually shift
topsail yards and make all sail, to studding sails, in
periods varying from half an hour to an hour and a
half ? Did not a fifth ironclad join them at Fal-
mouth ? And are there not ever so many more
somewhere, which may be expected to do the same
Some day or other ?

The consumption of coal was :—Achilles, 271
tons ; Caledonia, 25 ; Hector, 26 ; Lord Clyde,
26+ ; Liverpool, 18i ; Helicon, 7 ; Pallas, 9i —say
140 tons—to steam at the rate of eight knots, in
smooth water and with a fair wind, about 100 miles.
There are about 3,000 sailors in this squadron.
They have about 120 on the sick lists and 30 at
hospitals, and they are now to undergo the ordeal
of an inspection by the Lords Commissioners of the
Admiralty on Friday next.

THE 13nrrisll ASSOCIATION.—The preparations
or the visit of the association to Nottingham are progress-
ing favourably. The public buildings of the town have
been repainted and decorated. The flower show, which is
to be held in the park adjoining the town, will be one of

The second day's racing was hardly so good as that wit-
nessed on Tuesday, but the weather was again favourable

Retrousse, who thus gave his owner two good turns at the
meeting. Appended is a return :

and Zisca got away in advance, attended by Lady Valen-
tine, Ozone, and Goojerat. At the distance Zisca gave
way beaten, and Cranbury came on full of running, Lady
Valentine lying second, and Ozone next. Lady Valen-
tine's jockey, perceiving that he had no chance of overhaul-
ing the leader, eased his mare, who was passed by Ozone
at the stand, but the latter could not reach Cranbury, who
won easily by a neck, Goojerat being a length and a half
behind the second, and a length in advance of Lady Valen-

the proper track, The Duke
was at least a quarter of a
mile ahead. The " brute" stopped and kicked opposite the

stand, on the far side, while The Duke passed the enclo-
sure the second time, and the latter ultimately trotted in

attended by Ischia and War, both of whom headed him
below the distance. Retrousse came again, however, and
Ischia running unkindly in the last few strides, he got up
and won by a neck, War being half a length in the rear of

The Soi-disant Earl "at the Shootings."

On Monday a young man with a " swellish" make-up,
and having with him a young man:of more plebeian exterior,
whom ho called his valet, entered the Tontine Hotel at
Greenock, and wanted to hire apartments for, a week, re-
presenting that he was on his way to shootings in the
Highlands, and that he expected his wife, servants, and
luggage to join him immediately from London. Ho gave
his address as "the Earl of Cambridge." He looked about
24 years of age, had a roundish face, browned by recent
exposure to weather, thin dark moustache, longish hair,
cheeks shaved, wore a seedy brown suit, and a naval cap
ith a stuck-out peak, faded gold tinsey band, and a small
ornamental flag stuck in front. His " valet" was about his
own ago, and was plainer in appearance. The "earl's"
appearance excited the suspicion of the waiter, the more
especially that he condescended to hob-nob and drink
brandy, which he ordered and paid for, with his valet.
The earl asked where he could get the services of a tailor,
as he wanted some new clothing before proceeding to
the shooting. Ho was told ho could avail himself of the
services of Mr. Macara, tailor and clothier, immediately
opposite. Ho sent for Mr. Macara's foreman to the hotel,
and proceeded to negotiate for a thorough renovation of
his wardrobe, a thing that the earl seemed rather in
need of. "Have you any clothes ready made ?" inquired
the earl. "Nothing that I remember," said the fore-
man, "except a reefing jacket, which you can try on
if you step across to the shop." They did step across ;
the reefing jacket was found to suit to admiration, and the
earl kept it on. Ho also got a pair of gloves, which he
put on—and we should not omit to say that both his hands
and feet were small and "aristocratic." Having got mea-
sured for black trousers, a shooting coat, and half a dozen
white vests, all of which wore to be made up for him im-
mediately and sent over to his hotel, he left considerably
improved in his outer man by the new gloves and the roofing
coat. Feeling that he was getting on swimmingly he lighted
a cigar, and, still accompanied by his valet, walked into the
shop of Mr. Craig, hatter and glover, corner of Mansion-
house-lane, where he found a young man at Mae counter.

It was now two o'clock in the day. flo asked for handker-
chiefs, but turned up his nose at those first shown him as
too common ; ho wanted lace handerchiefs. The shop-
man showed him a superior sort, and ho bought half a
dozen of these, putting ono of thorn in his pocket. He
pulled off tho gloves ho got in Mr. Macara's shop, throw-
ing them to his valet, who put them in his own pocket. Ho
then ordered half a dozen of the finest scarfs, though oven
the finest shown him did not come up to his taste. He or-
dered half a dozen pairs of gloves, putting on and retain-
ing one pair. Ho ordered some lavender kids, some neck-
ties, half a dozen pairs of hose "fitted for the moors," seve-
ral shooting caps, proforring the Cambridgo pattern. lb

wanted the shopman to go out with him to have a glass of
something, but the latter excused himself by saying that
he could not then leave the shop. " We'll send for it," sait
his lordship ; and pitching money to his valet, the latter
disappeared for a fewminutes, and then returned and placet:
on the counter two tumblers, each containing a glass o
brandy and a bottle of lemonade. Wondrous condescon•
sion ! thought the shopman, for an earl to stand treat at a
shop counter. The earl merely tasted the liquor, and so also
did the shopman, after which the valet lifted the drinking
utensils and returned them to where he got them. "Send
over the rest of the goods to the Tontine to the Earl of
Cambridge, and I will send back my valet with the money,"
said the earl, about to leave with the handkerchief and
gloves, and the shopman was making his best .bow to_,Us
noble customer, when who should enter the shop but Mr.
Macara who stepped up to the earl, and touching him fa-
miliarly on the arm, said, "My jacket and gloves! You
must either pay for them or let me have them back." The
earl looked dumfoundered ; but suddenlyregaining hisself-
possession, he threw down his almost exhausted cigar, and
followed Mr. Macara to his shop, where he condescended
to throw off the jacket and pay for the gloves he had car-
ried off. Ho immediately returned to Mr. Craig's shop, and
told the shopman not to fail to send the goods to his hotel.
The shopman by this time thought something was wrong,
and said ho must be paid for the goods before sendingthem.
The earl said he always preferred getting delivery of goods
before paying, but in this instance he would consent first
to send his valet over with the cash. He and his valet
then left the shop, and are supppsed to have gone direct
down to the steamboat quay, and there embarked, for in a
short time thereafter, when wanted by the police they
were not to be found.—North British Daily Mail.

re,

en the round " that it Iva
for him to learn or control all that WU going on
throughout a tract of country so extensive as that
occupied by our troops during martial law," Mr*
Eyre pertinently inquired " did no excesses occur
in repressing the Indian mutiny, or were the au;
thorities there made responsible for not knowing of,
or not preventing them ?" Now the Indian zmitaul,
was not in point of fact a rebellion of the people °'
.that country ; it was simply the revolt of an artuk
in which the civilian portion of the population too!:
little if any part. And the cruelties inflicted on their
victims by the sepoys were not a whit more revolting
than those inflicted on the magistrates, volunteers,
and policemen at St. Thomas-in-the East by the
savage negroes. The sufferers were no doubt wor7
numerous in the one case than in the other, but that
is solely to be attributed to the prompt and decisive
action of the now dismissed Governor. For had be
not proclaimed martial law, and enforced it, the
number of whites who must have succumbed in case
of a general rising of the blacks, which would un-
questionably have taken place had the first attempt
not been nipped in the bud, would have been in-
finitely greater, as it would have included the whole
male population of the island. But when we conic
to examine the proceedings sanctioned by these
in power, by means of which the revolt 038
in a great measure suppressed, %IT find, from the
written admissions of those who took a prominent
~
part in them, that they were of a far more summary
character than those had recourse to by Governor
Eyre under far more trying and critical chow-
stances. Of all the forces engaged in the Indian mu-
tiny, none received more encomiums than the Shan-
non's Naval Brigade, serving under the late lamented
Sir William Peel ; and although our sailors are sq'
posed, and we believe with truth, to be more mere'.
fully inclined in their anger than our soldiers, we have
instances of cruelty recounted in the published hist();
ries of their campaigns which, had those who suffered
been Africans instead of Asiatics, would have raised a
storm of indignation amongst those pseudo philan-
thropists who, as it would appear from their acts, 0.1111
interest themselves in behalf of their special favourites'
If we allude to those cases now, itis not to damage the
reputation of a body of men who no doubt acted AS
humanely, and probably more so, than their military
comrades, but to show that the Governor General Of
India was advanced two steps in the peerage, although
acts of savagery were perpetrated in presence of some
of his most distinguished subordinates, with which he
must no doubt have been made acquainted, far more
worthy of condemnation than any imputed to the
officers serving under Governor Eyre, whose deedo
have mainly caused his dismissal.
