THE ARMY.

Capt. P. Geraghty, Ist battalion 20th Regiment,
has been appointed instructor in musketry to the se-
cond depot battalion at ChLth am gerrison, in the place
of Capt. J. M. Lyle, 29th Regiment, who proceeds
to join the head-quarters of his regiment, which
have just arrived from India and are quartered at
Preston.

Orders were yesterday issued at Chatham for the
officers and men belonging to the depots comprising
the second battalion of that garrison to be exercised
in embarking and disembarking from her Majesty's
ship Tyne this day, the first battalion,_together
with the corps of Royal Marines, having been ,
already practised in that part of their military
duties. The second battalion Is now very strong
in consequence of the depots of which it is com-
posed being up to their full complement.
The Himalaya screw troopship, Commander John
Seccombe, arrived at Spithead early yesterday
morning from Kingstown, with the Royal Elthorne
Light Infantry Militia on board, comprising—
Lieut.-Cal. L. Murray Prior, in command; Capts.
King, Woodall, Freeman, Lane, and Wilson ;
Lieuts. Blake, Campbell, Baldcrson, Stack, and
Wild ; Ensigns Hewston, James, Barnes, Newing-
ton, Randall, and Cunyngbame ; Capt. and Adjt.
Wm. Bell ; Paymaster R. Port ; Surgeon Walker,
Assistant-Surgeon Bolton, 24 sergeants, 17 buglers,
36 corporals, 686 privates, 2 officers' wives, 8
officers' children, 74 soldiers' wives, 100 soldiers'
children—in all 998 souls. The baggage and
officers' horses (seven) were landed last evening, and
the troops will be landed this morning by steam-
tugs. The same plan will be pursued with the
Urgent on her arrival, both vessels having to re-
main at Spithead until after the launch of the Vic-
toria on the 12th inst., from want of room in the
harbour. We ue requested to contradict the state-
ment which has appeared of the Himalaya's
grounding at the mouth of the harbour of Kings-
town. no such occurrence having taken place.
The first step in advance towards the long-con-
templated reorganization of the important esta-
blishment composing the gun factories in Woolwich
Arsenal was yesterday taken by handing over the
direction of the department in due form from the
military to the civil service, to be conducted in fu-
ture under the auspices of Sir W. Armstrong, C. 8.,
and the resident superintendent, Mr. John An-
derson, late inspector of machinery. Great pre-
parations are made for manufacturing rifled ord-
nance on Sir William's principles, calculated, ac-

THAMES.

BOBBING LINENDRAPERS' SHOPS.—Elizabeth Chamber-
lain, aged 19, a notorious thief, who has been once convicted
by the City magistrates, and twice by Metropolitan police
magistrates, for shop-lifting, was brought up on remand,
charged with stealing goods from various linendraper's shops
and warehouses.

The prisoner, accompanied by a gang of young women,
her confederates, has committed many robberies. On Friday
and Saturday last several linendrapers in Commercial-road,
Mile End-road, High-street, Shadwell, and other places,
were robbed of cotton prints and other property. On Satur-
day afternoon last Mr. John Palmer, linendraper, No. 215,
High-street, Shadwell, received information that 10 worsted
jackets had been stolen from the shop door, where
they were exposed for sale in the usual way, and
that five girls, who had ben seen loitering
near the shop, had just run away. Mr. Palmer also re-
ceived a particular description of the female who actually
took the worsted jackets, while the others covered her ope-
rations. A policeman named Robert Smith went in pursuit
of the thieves. He saw four girls in New Gravel-lane.
They were inquiring after another girl, and upon seeing the
policeman approach they all ran away. Smith remained en
the spot where he had just seen the four girls, and the pri-
soner soon afterwards arrived, and inquired after her four
companions. She was immediately taken into custody by
Smith, who found upon her a large bundle containing the
10 worsted jackets stolen from the shop of Mr. Palmer, and
two pieces of cotton print measuring 46 yards.
Mr. Palmer identified the 10 worsted jackets. Their
value was 10s., and they were stolen from his shop on Sa-
turday evening.
Mr. William Eaton, assistant to Mr. George Emery,
linendraper, Commercial-road, near the George Inn, identi-
fied the two pieces of print taken from the prisoner. They
were stolen from the front of Mr. Emery's shop on Satur-
day last, and their value was 245.
The assistants of several other linendrapers recognised
the prisoner, who had visited their employer's shops, and
after she had left gcods were missing. . .

Smith said the prisoner described herself as an artificial
flower maker, of 14, St. John's-court, -West-street, Smith-
field. He had known her to be a thief for some time. When
he arrested ha- she said that a woman gave her the goods
to carry, and afterwards told several other tales.
The prisoner was fully committed for trial at the sessions
on two charges of felony.

[ADVERTISE',IIF„NT.]—HoiIoways's Pills and Ointment.—
The ulcers, tumours, pimples, and discolorations of the
skin, which' arise from impure blood, ill-regulated secre-
tions and depraved humours, or some hereditary taint, often
defy all the familiar drugs and common preparations, but
can never long resist the action of Holloway's Pills and
Ointment, flows() justly celebrated in all quarters of the
globe. Ladies accustomed to apply astringent lotions to
eruptions on the face, breast, and arms' should be warned
that no practice is more dangerous. They throw the dis-
ease inwards, and put life itself at stake. The only really
safe and effective cosmetic ever yet prepared is Holloway's
Ointment, which,' assisted by
his Pills, will subdue the
most obstinate cases of skin disease,

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The arrivals of English wheat during the present week,
coastwise, have amounted to 1,980 quartcrs almost wbolly
from Essex and Kent. By land carriage, fresh up to-day,
the supply was small, and the show of samples was limited.
Compared with Monday, no change took place in prices,
and the demand may be called steady. Fine foreign wheats
realised previous rates, but the demand for them was by no
means active. Low and middling parcels were very dull,
but not cheaper.
We had a fair demand for all kinds of melting barley, at
full prices. Inferior foreign was very dull, at barely late
rates. _ _

The malt 4rado was in a depressed state.
however, no change took place.
For oats and flour tho inquiry was far from active, on
former terms. Beans and peas, however, were quite as dear
as on Monday.

REPEAL. OF THE PAPER DUTI'

The annual public meeting of the Association for
Promoting the Repeal of the Taxes on Knowledge
was held. on Wednesday, at Exeter-Hall. The
attendance at the commencement of the proceedings
was very thin, and at no period was the room
crowded. • The chair was taken by Mr. M. Gibson,
M.P. On the platform were—Mr. Ayrton, M.P.,
Mr. Coningham, M.P., Mr. Greer, M.P., Mr. Win.
Chambers (of Edinburgh), Professor Key, Mr. Geo.
Dawson, Mr. J. Ca-sell, Mr. H. Richards, &c.
Mr. J. CASSELL moved the following resolution

—" That this meeting hails with satisfactim the
unanimous decision of the House of Commons, that
the maintenance of the excise on paper as a
permanent source of revenue would be im-
politic,' and calls upon the right honourable
the member for Ashton to press the house in the
ensuing session to make such arrangements as will
enable Parliament to dispense with that tax." He
dwelt at some length on the educational and social
benefits which would accrue from the repeal of the
duty.
Mr. AYRTON, M.P., in seconding the resolution,
said the maintenance of the tax arose from the now
obsolete dogma that the press was a dangerous in-
stitution, and required to be checked by a fiscal im-
post. He afterwards adverted incidentally to the
question of defending the country against any attack
or insult from foreign powers—a digression which
elicited from several persons on the platform cries of
"question," met on the hon. gentleman's part by tho
retaliatory remark that the interruption was an
illustration of the necessity for repealing the paper
duty, in order that the parties who called " ques-
tion" might have their minds educated to follow
the thread of his own sentences. (Cheers and
laughter.)
41'hc resolution was carried unanimously.
On the motion of Mr. G. DAWSON, of Birmingham,
seconded by Mr. GREER, M.P., the meeting adopted
a petition to the House of Commons, which was a
counterpart of the first resolution.
A vote of thanks was then given to the chairman,
and the meeting separated.

ORGANIC WEAKNESS—ITS CAUSES AND CURE.
Just published (with Engravings, and an Appendix on the
Curative Powers of Galvanic-Electricity), price is., free by
post for 13 stamps,
SELF-PRESERVATION : A Medical Treatise
on NERVOUS DEBILITY and FUNCTIONAL
WEAKNESS. more particularly in reference to the INFIR-
MITIES and DISORDERS ofthe GENERATIVE SYSTEM;
tracing the Origin of these distressing afflictions to causes
which vitiate the very fountains of Life and prematurely de-
stroy the vigour of Manhood. With l'ractical Observations
on the Cure of these Diseases, and on the extraordinary re-
storative power of LOCAL GALVANISM in Sperinatorrl►oea,
Impotence, and Sterility, in which cases it is applied without
pain or danger, and is frequently successful without the aid
of medicine.

BY SAMUEL LAWERT, M.D.,
37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON,

Registered Licentiate of the London Society of Apothecaries,
Doctor of Medicine of the University of Erlangen, Honorary'
Member of the London Hospital Medical Society. &c.
An erroneous impression exists that public annowieements
on these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons,
but as the new Medical Act provides that nonebut registered
practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that are
legally qualified can readily be distinguished—a point of great
importance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill are
equally requisite.
In the new edition of `Self-Preservation,' facts of para-
mount utility are brought together—facts appealing to the
prudence, of all who are suffering from affections which in-
volve the enfeeblement and ultimate loss of those powers
without which man forfeits the dignity of nature, and sinks to
the most pitiable depths of physical and moral degradation.
In cases where the vital essences have been weakened by the
influences of tropical climates, by pernicious habits, indiscri-
minate excesses, improper diet, hardship, or by injudicious
treatment, the means of cure adopted by the author, in con-
junction with the application of Local Galvanism, have gene-
rally been found successful, even in cases where recovery had
been pronounced impossible.

COUNTRY MARKETS.
London, England, 1859-02-04

Syney commercial intelligence is as follows :

The wool market is much firmer than it was at .the com-
mencement of last month, 'and the. disposition to purchase
has caused an improvement of fully ld. to 2d. per lb. The
f)llowing were the rates obtained at the weekly produce sale
of Messrs. Mort and Co.:—fleece, 1744. to 230.; scoured,
2s. 3d. ; handwashed, 14 to 211 d. ; grease, 441 to 13d. ;
locks, 101 to 131 d. ; New Zealand, 12d. to 171 d.
The quantity of gold-dust received by the escorts from
the several gold-fields during the month of November was
2(1,577 During the corresponding month of last year
the amount received was 14,4.51 oz. The increase on the
receipts of the month is, therefore, 12,123 oz., or about 84
per cent. For the eleven inciths of the year 1857 the
amount of gold-dust received was 131,917 oz. During the
same period of 1853 the quantity received has been 23U,690
oz., which an increase of 93,7130 z., or nearly 75 per cent.
in favour of the present year. The increase on the receipts
from the Western gold-fields is 55,5C0 oz., or 70 per cent.;
Southern, 33,413 oz., or about 155 per cent.; Northern,
4,770 oz., or.lB per cent.

NEW WRIT.

Sir W. JOLIFFE moved fora Writ to elect a member for
the University of Dublin, in the room of Mr. George Alex.
Hamilton, who has s.ccepted the office of Steward of her
Majesty's Manor of Northstead.
POOR RATES, &c., ASSESSMENT.
Mr. WILSON asked the resident of the Poor Law
Board whether it was his intention to introduce
a bill in the present session for tbo purpose of
subjecting properties in the occupation of tho Govern-
ment and other public bodies to assessment for
the poor and other local rates, in pursuance of the recom-
mendation of the committee of the last session ; and, if so,
at what time ho will be able to lay such bill upon the table?
Mr. SOTHERON-ESTCOURT said that the subject
had received the attention of the Government during the
recess, and that a statement would be made to the house in
reference to it.
GROWTH OF COTTON IN INDIA .

Mr. HADFIELD drew the attention of the house to the
neglect of the facilities that existed in India for the supply
of cotton to this country. The manufacturers in this coun-
try paid £10,000,000 more for that article than its actual
value, or the price at which it could be supplied by our
dependencies. That neglect was owing to the want of
proper roads in India, and the means necessary for irrigat-
ing the land.
Lord STANLEY said that he would have an oppor-
tunity of alluding to the subject in ten days hence,
as it was one that naturally connected itself with
the question of Indian finance. He agreed with
the hon. member as to the great importance of endea-
vouring to produce a good and efficient supply of cotton to
the country, by increasing the facilities that existed
towards that object, which could be best promoted by
making roads from the coast to the interior. It was a
mistake to suppose that there • had not been a
large outlay on public works in that country, for
£2,000,000 were expended annually for that purpose, and
most of these works were of a reproductive character.
There were 5,000 miles of railway proposed to be con-
structed, but less than 300 miles were finished.
Mr. BRIGHT thought the noble lord had given a fair
reply to his hon. friend. He considered, however, that
unless something was done to improve the tenure of land
in India, little advantage would result to the
manufacturers of this country with respect to
India. This peculiarly applied to South Madras.
He approved of the appointment of the Govenor of
Madras, but strongly deprecated the issuing of a commis-
sion to ascertain the validity of titles to land, and thought
it would be more advisable to issue a commission to inquire
into the tenure of land in that presidency. The greatest
evil had resulted from the commission in Bombay,
similar to that proposed by the Government, who would
be responsible for any disasters that it might produce.
Lord STANLEY said he had given instructions for the
suspension of the commission until the arrival of Sir W.
Trevelyan.
OCCASIONAL FORMS OF PRAYER.
Mr. WALPOLE obtained leave to bring in a bill to re-
peal certain Acts and parts of Acts which relate to the ob-
servance of the 30th of January and other days.
The house then adjourned.
