This was the first rifle corps formed in the kingdom, and it
is now becoming an extremely efficient body. They wear
a very neat uniform, and have a very soldierlike bearing.
The rifles were supplied a short time since, and the mem-

CRERBOURG AND PORTSMOUTH.

If we wanted a proof of the French zeal in naval
matters (and there are a score forthcoming from
any inquirer at once), it would be afforded by the
familiar instance of Cherbourg. There we have,
or rather they have, a kind of model modern dock-
yard, free from the faults of old ones, and rich in
all that ought to be found in the new. It is much
nearer to us than older French arsenals, is built in
the smoothest part of the Channel, and on a scale
suited to the most formidable preparations. Take
Portsmouth and Plymouth dockyards, and you find
that there is a great deal of time lost in consequence
of the departments bring separate from each other;
whereas rigging, arming, and victualling all go on
at Cherbourg within the same walls. In our ports
above-named, boats, lighters, buoys, keep endlessly
moving through the yellow water (at the risk of
wetting and otherwise damaging goods), while at
Cherbourg everything is put on board from the
wharfs, along side which the ship lies. And so, of
course, with coaling. Coal must be hoisted out of
a ship's hold, and thus taken on board--a tedious
,process, "hateful to the seamen," as the Naval Peer
justly observes, instead of being moved from the
quays by machinery, as in the Norman port. Again,
the Cherbourg authorities don't " hulk" their
seamen, as we do, in narrow, dirty, old-fashioned
hulks ; but march them aboard comfortably from
a kind of naval barralks. Surely, all these are
sensible business arrangements, vastly superior
to our old happy-go-lucky way of managing
matters ; and ought to teach us to mend it. Dock-
yards are the " positions" on which fleets retreat
for refreshment and repair ; and rapidity in and
convenience for refitting a fleet would be half the
battle in war time. That the French are eminently
business-like in their way of doing work was shown
at Genoa in the late war. This general superiority,
of sizes and of arrangements about Cherbourg, and
its nearness (only 52 miles) to our coast, make
Cherbourg an ugly neighbour. Blockade it, you
will say, as Collingwood did Toulon, so persistently.
Nobody supposes that such traditions will not be
honestly acted on by our service. But blockades
have
.been evaded before ; and a steam fleet running
12 miles an hour would not be so easy to catch if
once a feint had drawn the blockading force from
before its prison. Observe, too, as an instance of
the organisation of Cherbouig, that French ships
can enter Cherbourg docks at all times of high
water, and. that our ships can only enter those of
Portsmouth and Plymouth during spring tides.
The fortification of our dockyards and arsenals in-
volves a military question. But it is not denied
that Cherbourg is very strong from that point of
view, nor that the improvements which have been
going on at Portsmouth of late years still fall short
of what is wanted.---Dickens's All the Year Bound.

THE SERPENTINE.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE TIMES.
Sir,—Messrs. Easton, Amos, and Sons have
thought fit to address you in relation to the ex"
pression of my opinion in the House of Commons
on Mr. Fitzroy's plan for cleansing the water of the
Serpentine, and in so doing have rendered explans"
tions which satisfy my mind that I had arrived at
a perfectly correct view of the subject.
St. James's-park and the whole of Belgravia were
once parts of a large lagoon connected with the
estuary of the Thames. This became filled with
deposits of rolled gravel, sedementary mud; peat, and
ultimately vegetable soil. The gravel is charged
with water to a level depending on the tidal infia-
ence, and if that water were removed there would
possibly be some infiltration from the Thames. The
Ornamental Water in St. James's Park is held in
an artificial basin of a pervious character, and stands
above the gravel from which Messrs. Easton, Amos,
and Sons, now pump the comparatively small quail:
tity of water required to supply this basin. It
therefore stands to reason, and is the fact, that
when the engine is not at work the level of the
Ornamental Water lowers and the level of the
water in the gravel rises more than proportionately
to the fall of the Ornamental Water, because the
gravel is, to some extent, fed by the infiltration and
also occasionally by descending rains.
I am quite convinced the well is, to a consider-
able extent, replenished from the lake with water
filtered in its passage, and therefore rendered clear.
I am also satisfied that the quantity which 4110W°
out of the lake into the sewer is greatly less than
the quantity pumped into the lake, and I am4l!
more convinced that it is quite impossible to obtain.
2,500,000 gallons daily from a well sunk in 84
James's Park without exhausting the basin itself
and the peat and mud beds, on which many build-
i
ings depend for their support.
Pardon me for also observing that, as the water
of the Serpentine is not muddy, but merely dis-
coloured by vegetation, the only operation the Pre;
posed filters will have to perform is the removal e'
the colouring matters.
I reside near the Serpentine, and have a business
establishment immediately adjacent to St. James,'
Park. I have cultivated a habit of observation, an ,
I am somewhat accustomed to the consideration al
public questions of a practical character. I there-
fore hold myself to be entitled to express to
opinions on these and other schemes submitted '
the Government either in the House of Cowmens
_
or elsewhere, although I may happen to entertain
views differing from those put forth by Messr •
Easton, Amos, and Sens.
I have the honour to be, sir, your very faithful
servant,

THE NINE HOURS MOVEMENT.

Yesterday afternooon the Central Association
held a meeting at the Freemasons' Tavern, over
which Mr. G. Plucknett presided. It was convened
for 1 o'clock, and did not separate till half-past 4.
The press were not admitted, but the result of the
proceedings, as represented by the secretaries, was
an unanimous determination to adhere to the ori-
ginal resolution of the Ist inst., under which, until
Messrs. Trollope's works be resumed, the members
of the Central Association decline to open their
establishments. It was stated that there had not
been at any time any wavering from this determi-
nation, and that the resolve to adhere to the decla-
ration is as strong as when it was first propounded.
It was anticipated by the men that at this meeting
a resolution would be proposed to abandon the de-
claration ; but this anticipation does not appear to
have been warranted by the fact, although there is
no doubt that the question has been raised in an
incidental if not in an authoritative manner.

By some means or another an intimation had
reached the working men that this meeting was to
be held, and a number of them had consequently
assembled outside the doors in anticipation of the
event. They behaved with perfect propriety, but
motives might be attributed to their presence upon
such an occasion which ought not in justice to attach
to it. At all events, the interest evinced by the
workmen indicated their anxiety for an early,
honourable, and lasting peace.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Only a limited supply of both old and new English
wheat was on offer here to-day. For most kinds there S
a fair demand, at Monday's currency. Some of the ne"
wheats appeared in excellent condition.
Good and fine samples of foreign wheat were held at veryo
full prices , but the transactions in them were by no meansextensive. In low and damp qualities next to nothing `Q-
doing.

Floating cargoes of grain supported late prices. The few samples of barley on offer were taken on former

THAMES.

TWICE MISTAKEN.—George Green, a man about 40
years of age, and described by the police as a card-sharper,
of Green-street, Walworth, was brought up on remand
before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a £5 Bank of
England note and four sovereigns from the person of
Emanuel Ribero, a Spanish seaman, belonging to the ship
Salamanca, in the East India Dock.

The prosecutor charged a man with stealing a pilot °oat
from him on Monday last, and positively swore to the
identity of the coat found upon the prisoner, who would
most undoubtedly have been committed, if a tailor, who
had made a pilot coat for each of the parties, had not come
forward and proved that ho made the coat in dispute for
the prisoner, and sold it to him. The prisoner was, there-
fore, discharged.
On the same day Green was charged with robbing the
seaman of £9, and the evidence for the defence being very
unsatisfactory, the magistrate 'remanded the prisoner
until this day.

The statement of the prosecutor, delivered in the Spanish
language, and interpreted to the Court, was, that on Satur-
day, the 19th inst., he was in Whitechapel, when a stout
man met and asked him if he wanted a ship, to which he
replied in the affirmative. His new friend then took him
to a public-house, where he saw the- prisoner, who sat

alongside of him. There were three men in the room, and
they all asked him to treat them. He consented to do so,
and opened his porte-monnaie, which contained a £5 note
and four sovereigns, and was selecting one sovereign for
the purpose of changing it to pay the reckoning, when the
prisoner snatched the whole of the "money and ran away
with it, and the other men followed him. He went after
them but could not overtake them. H e went into the same
house again in the afternoon and saw the prisoner there,
and gave him into custody.
Police-constable, 34 H, said the seaman, in broken Eng-
lish, made known to him that he had been robbed, and said
two men had run away, and one was in the public-house
where the robbery took place. He took the prisoner into
custody. He knew him to be a card-sharper, and that the
house where the robbery was committed was frequented by
card-sharpers.
Mr. Charles Young, who defended the prisoner, said the
seaman was as much mistaken in this case as he was in the
other heard last Monday. He called two witnesses; the
first was

Margaret Collins, servant in a public-house, whose evidence
was given in a rambling manner, talked about pots of half-
and-half and quarterns of gin, and then said,—Be me
showl, yer honner's wortchip, that man (pointing to the
Spaniard) was not in the house of me mishtress at all last
Saturday.

Mr. Yardley—This evidence is by no means satisfactory.
James Lowe, a respectable mechanic, said he was in the
public-house on Saturday last. The sailor came into the
house with two men. The prisoner was not one,oo
and was certainly not in the room when the man said he
was robbed.

Mr. Yardley—The prisoner is represented to be a bad
character, and the house has a bad name, but after the evi-
dence of the last witness I can't detain the prisoner any
longer, and he is discharged.

THE ARMY.

Yesterday, morning the sick and wounded troops
who arrived at Chatham the previous afternoon
from India were marched from the invalid estab-
lishment, St Mary's Barracks, to Fort Pitt Hos-
pital, for the purpose of being medically inspected
by the staff at that establishment. The invalid
troops, to the number of 120 men of all ranks,
sailed from Calcutta in the Alnwick Castle, Captain
Wright, on the 12th of November, touching at St.
H3lena on th o 10th ult., the voyage occupying 102
days. The sick and wouutiod troops who embarked
belonged to the 2d (the Queen's) Dragoon Guards,
sth (Fusiliers), Gth, Bth (the King's), 10th, 13th
(Prince Albert's Light Infantry), 19th, 20th, 23d
(Royal Welsh Fusiliers), 24th, 32d (Light Infan-
try), 34th, 35th, 37th, 43d (Light Infantry), 53d,
54th, 60th (Rifles), 73d, 78th (Highlanders), 79th
(Highlanders), 84th, 86th, 88th (Connaught Ran-
gers), and 90th (Light Infantry) Regiments, Royal
Artillery, and the Rifle Brigade, the whole under
the command of Lieut. F. Peel, 34th Regiment.
During the passage 22 deaths occurred on board--
viz., Lieut. Baillie, 2d battalion Rifle Brigade,
Lieut. Sewell, Madras Horse Artillery, 17 men,
two women, and one child. A considerable num-
ber of the men have received wounds or injuries
in their conflicts with the rebels, and all are entitled
to the Indian Mutiny Medal. After their arrival
at Fort Pitt they were medically inspected, and 40
ordered to be taken into hospital for medical treat-
ment. Nearly the whole of the others are pro-
nounced convalescent, their health having im-
proved by the sea voyage to England. These will
be forwarded to their depots in the course of a few
days. The invalid troops belonging to the Royal
Artillery were forwarded to Woolwich.
The Royal Engineer Train are under orders to
proceed from BroMpton Barracks, Chatham, next
week, to the camp at Aldershott, for the purpose
of taking up their summer quarters.
The war authorities having decided on forming
an Indian depot battalion at Chichester for East
India depots, the battalion now at Walmer will be
transferred to that station, when it is expected that
the 3d Battalion of Infantry at Chatham garrison,
under the command of Lieut.-Colonel C. E. Fairt-
lough, will be removed from the hut-barracks to
Walmer.

The Spanker gunboat left the Tyne on Thurs-
day on a cruise to sea with the Northumberland
Coast-guard volunteers, who are now under drill.
The men have leen exercised with great guns and
small arms, and have made very considerable pro-
gress.

ELECTRICAL INFLUENCE IN HEALTH AND
DISEASE.

Just Published, price Is., free by Post for Fourteen Stamps,
SECOND LIFE : or ELECTRICAL NERVOUS
FORCE ; a MEDICAL WORK, intended for the special
perusal of all who are suffering- from the various forms of
NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, and the distress-
ing ulterior consequences to which they lead ; with practical
Observations on the great Curative power of ELECTRO-
GALVANISM in the treatment of these Disorders, by infus-
ing tone and vigour in constitutions relaxed or debilitated
from various enervating causes. Illustrated with Cases com-
piled from the Note-book of a Registered Medical Practi-
tioner of twenty years' standing.
Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which
commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with
the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious
indication it adroits of being shown that the Electrical and
Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter
fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre-
gularities of any kind, the nervous system has becomcdebili-
tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a
condition little short of total prostration, then by the action
of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical
treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta-
blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of
SECOND LIFE.

COUNTRY jfARKETS.

LIVERPOOL-FEB. 25.

The arrivals from Ireland and coastwise since Tuesday
have been maderate. From foreign ports we have re-
ceived 1,270 vs wheat, 800 qrs beans, and 8,104 sacks flour.
The exports, in the same time, comprise 32.5 qrs of wheat,
300 qrs. oats, 506 qrs. malt, 204 sacks and 518 barrels flour.
There has been little doing in the trade during the past
two days, and prices of all articles have been unaltered.
The weather continues mild and open. At the market this
morning there was a thin attendance of the town and
country trade, but the business passing was limited, and no
further quotable alteration occurred in the value of either
wheat or flour. The demand for Indian corn was quite in
retail, at about previous rates. The same may be said of
oats and oatmeal. Beans, peas, and barley neglected, and
without change in their value.
