THE A.ROII.

On the recommendation of a Board of Commis-
sioners of Chelsea Hospital, which has been sitting
at Chatham, under the presidency of Dr. Muir,
C. 8., Inspector-General, for the inspection of the
time-expired men and invalid troops forwarded to
that garrison from the home and foreign stations, a
further discharge of 163 non-commissioned officers
and privates, of different cavalry and infantry corps,
is ordered to be made to-morrow from the invalid
establishment, St. Mary's Barracks. Each of the
men discharged will be given a railway pass to the
town to which he proceeds, which will convey him
to his destination free of any expense. Under the
new War-office regulations each man's claim is to
be settles before he quits the invalid depot.
Yesterday the battalion of Royal Marine Light
Infantry forming the Chatham division was drawn
up on its parade-ground, and, after inspection by
Light.-Col. W. H. March, the entire division was
marched some distance into the open country, re-
turning to their quarters shortly before 2 o'clock.
In order to keep up the physical training of the
officers and men the battalion will take marching
out exercise on stated days in each week during the
winter.

THE POSITION OF THE FEDERALS.

A blockade which owes its recognition to courtesy
—an army held at bay by " rebels"—a capital all
but beleaguered, and cut off from supplies by sea,
where it is mistress of sailors and fleets—the
Monroe doctrine nullified—these are bitter draughts
for a people which, without offence, we may de-
scribe as the most haughty and boastful on the face
of the earth. Perhaps there are other nations not
less so, but they have no way of making it known.
Thero are signs of a disposition growing every
day to find victims among the Cabinet, and to
hold them responsible for this state of things, and
the forthcoming Session of Congress is regarded
with anxiety, although the Unionist ranks will pre-
sent
a front almost unbroken and the massive form

of Breckenridge has gone out from among them. It
is felt that honesty in the Executive must be rein-

forced by vigour in council and by original ideas in
policy, nor will the anti-Abolitionists be at all dis-

posed to permit Mr. Cameron's recent instructions
respecting slave property to pass without censure or

resistance.
London, England, 1861-11-20

CONGRESS AND THE CONFEDERATES.

We are told, by one who ought to know, that
among the very first acts of Congress when it meets
will be a most stringent law of confiscation; and,
as long as the Federalists regard the Confederates
merely as rebels against a certain abstract sove-
reignty called the Union, it is not easy to predict
how far they may go in punishing treason and
rebellion.
London, England, 1861-11-20

KING COTTON.

Already there is talk of raising a foreign loan to
make up the difference between the slim authorised
by Congress and the loan of the banks plus the
Treasury notes—an amount of some seventy or
eighty millions of dollars. Squeaks of distress also
come from Mr. Memminger down South. King Cot-
ton has no Midas-gift, unless he can get out of pri-
son. When I was down South I ventured to assure
gentlemen at Charleston, Savannah, Mobile, Montgo-
mery, and New Orleans that the British Empire did.
not exist by and for cotton, and that England would
not break the blockade, no matter how great her
necessities, so long as it was maintained in accordance
with international law ; and I remember well the
air of compassion with which these statements were
received, and the " Oh ! I'm sure you believe it.
But we—we know John Bull well—a very good
fellow, but he must have his cotton by fair means or
foul ; without it your whole system will break to
pieces. We have the cotton, and we can just dic-
tate terms." The delusion was equally strong in
the North. But the scales are beginning to fall
from their eyes.

QELF-PRESERVATION.-A popular Essay on
K-1 Nervous and Physical Debility, resulting from injurious
habits contracted in youth, or excesses in maturity, which,
by prematurely exhausting the functions of Manhood, de-
stroy the happiness of Married Life or prevent the fulfil-
ment of engagements which constitute the most cherished
objects of existence.
By Dr. LA'MERT, 37, Bedford-square, London.
Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh;
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, &c.
The above work contains most useful and interesting
information on the physiological changes which occur
in the Reproductive System during the periods of youth,
puberty, and manhood ; and on the due attainment of that
degree of functional vigour upon which the hopes of posterity
depend. It also points out how all the attributes of Man-
hood can be preserved to an advanced period of life, how they
are lost, and how they can be recovered. It is free from the
gross
medies so exaggeratione, alarming descriptions, and dangerous
re generally resorted to by persons, who, prac-
tising with false medical qualifications, inflict most serious
injuries, and render judicious treatment frequently abortive.
The Author is the only legally qualified practitioner
whose name stands on the Medical Register (the only
true test of medical qualification), who has been exclu-
sively engaged for a series of years in the treatment of the
variou 4 functional disorders of the nervous and reproductive
system, which, owing to the great discoveries of modern
science, are rendered subservient to a rational, simple,
and easy anode of treatment.

THIS DAY'S MARKETS:

CORN EXCHANGE.
A somewhat increased supply of English wheat was on
sale here to-day. Although the demand was not to say
active, the trade ruled firm, and Monday's quotations were
well supported.
The show of samples of modern wheat was moderately
extensive. Importers were firm in their demands, and all
descriptions were held at fully previous rates. The amount
of business transacted, however, was by no means large.
Floating cargoes of grain were in very moderate request,
at late quotations.
The trade for barley was in a sluggish state, at previous
currencies.

Fine new malt sold steadily, at full prices, but other kinds
were a dull inquiry.

Oats moved off slowly, yet good and fine corn ruled firm
in value. The supply on offer was tolerably large.
Beans and peas fully supported previous rates, the show
of samples being small.

The flour trade was steady, and prices were maintained.]

BOW-STREET.

ANOTHER POST-OFFICE ROBBERY.—William Pearce, a
letter-carrier (the eighth within a very short time), was
placed at the bar charged with stealing a letter, the pro•
pc.rty of the Postmaster- General.
Bingham, one of the police officers attached to the Post-
office, said he went to the residence of the prisoner in Ber-
mondsey, and found him sitting in the back parlour. On
perceiving the officer, Pearce took off his official coat, and
threw it do\s n on the bed and ran away.
Sinee, another officer, said he found the coat belonging
to prisoner. In the pocket was a cover of a letter directed
to "Miss Vardon, Foots Cray, Kent," and four other let-
ters. He afterwards went to Mortlake, and there received
information that the prisoner was living at Richmond. He
went there and apprehended him. On searching his lodgings
a quantity of clothing and articles were found of a very
suspicious nature. A letter-carrier named Wright (who
was committed for trial from this court on Saturday)
lodged with him, and on Pearce being askedto explain how
be became possessed of the property he said it all belonged
to Wright, and that he knew nothing about it.
Thomas Harris, inspector of letter-carriers said the letter
from Oxford-street would arrive at the South Eastern Dis-
trict Office for sorting at about quarter to one. The pri-
soner was on duty at that time at the office, and a portion
of his duty was to sort the letters. The letter in question
ought to have been placed amongst the Woolwich.
Louisa Manders said she resided ac 29, St. John-street,
Clerkenwell, and on the 27th July she enclosed a gilt chain
in a letter and addressed it to Miss Varden, a lady residing
at Foot's Cray, Kent.
The daughter of the last witness proved the posting of
the letter at the receiving-house in Oxford-street, kept by
Mr. Cooper, about 12 o'clock the same day.
The prisoner who said nothing in his defence was fully
committed for trial.

Mr. Alderman COPELAND called the attention of the
house to a return made by the Ecclesiastical Commis-
sioners of the very large sums paid by them to solicitors,
surveyors, and other officers; and to the manner in which
the affairs of the Ecclesiastical Commission ,were carried
on ; and pointed out that the expenditure of the commission
for expenses amounted to about 40 per cent. of the amount
of money received. The hon. member concluded his re-
marks by observing that next session he thought he should
move for a committee to inquire into the whole subject.
Sir G. GREY said it would be better to defer any re-
marks upon the question until the hon. member moved for
the committee.

BOROUGH HOP.

Accounts from the plantations report somewhat favour-
ably of the crop on the whole, more especially in Mid Kent.
Some districts, however, promise a very unsatisfactory
yield. The business doing in all kinds of hops is very
limited, and prices rule to some extent nominal. The duty
is estimated at from £llO,OOO to £120,000. Last week's
imports in London were 455 bales, wholly from New York.

SOUTH DEVON.
A special general meeting of this company was
held on Tuesday at Plymouth, Mr. T. Woollcombe
in the chair.

The CHAIRMAN explained that the object of the
meeting was to authorise the directors to affix the
common seal of the company to a lease of the Corn,:
wall Railway to the associated companies for 1:00u
years. The line would be worked under the direc-
tion of a joint committee, of which four would be
appointed by the Cornwall Company, two by the
Great Western, three by the Bristol and Exeter,r,
and three by the South Devon Company. 1"
e
chairman or vice-chairman was to be annually se"
lected from the Cornwall section of the committee,
but the chairman was not to have a casting vote.
Five members of the committee were to form
quorum, and the differences, if any, were to be
settled by arbitration.
The solicitor having read the heads of the lease,
a formal resolution approving it, and authorising
the directors to affix the common seal of the corn'
pany to the lease, subject to such modifications 03
might be agreed upon, was unanimously adopted,
and the proceedings terminated.

THE ARMY.

Major Arbuthnot's battery of Royal Horse Artil-
lery, which has for several months been stationed
at Dorchester, arrived in Bristol on Saturday, and
will embark to-day on board the Preussischer Adler
steamer for Dublin barracks.

A few days since a party of invalids belonging to
the sth and 56th Regiments, in charge of Lieut.
Seagrim, who have just returned from India, arrived
in Colchester camp, and were united to their respec-
tive depots. In conformity with the new regula-
tions for the more efficient management of military
hospitals, a detachment of the Army Hospital Corps
has been sent from Colchester to join the body of
non-commissioned officers who will have the charge
of the Woolwich General Hospital. The present
strength of the camp is little over 1,500 men, but
it is rumoured that during the present and ensuing
month changes will take place which will augment
the force to its full complement of about 2,500.
By order of the War Department extensive addi-
tions are to be carried out forthwith at the military
establishment, Gravesend, by the erection of officers'
quarters, men's barracks, magazine and stores, and
staff, guard, cooking, and bath houses. The work
will be carried out under the direction of the Royal
Engineer Department.

The ship Star of the South, Renner master, ar-
rived yesterday afternoon at Spithead, from Kurra-
chee, with the left wing of the 64th Regiment,
under the command of Major Chads, consisting of
281 men, 15 women, and 16 children.

.The Royal Patriotic Society has granted a pension
of Bs. 6d. per week to the widow and children of
the late Hugh Davis, ft gunner of Royal Artillery,
whose signal bravery during the Crimean war was
rewarded by a pension from her Majesty. The de-
ceased while employed in the trenches before Se-
bastopol was wounded by a bullet shot, but refused
to leave his gun, and while engaged in sponging
weapon, after firing, both his arms were shot off.
The Queen's Own Worcestershire Yeomanry Ca-
valry assembled at Worcester on Thursday, for
eight days permanent duty, under the command of
the Right Hon. Sir J. Pakington, Bart., M.P., in
the absence of the Colonel Commandant, Earl Dud-
ley. The regiment musters nearly 800 strong,
and is well mounted. A capital band and two
pieces of artillery are attached to the regiment,
whose firing is'considered very superior.

TEMPLE GARDENS.—These gardens have long been
celebrated for their chrysanthemums in the autumn, and at
this time they are remarkable for the display of flowers
usually found in bloom at this period of the year. The
stocks, calceolarias, fuchias, geraniums, &c., which fill the
42 beds on the slope on the northern part of the gardens are
remarkably fine. These grounds are open to the public
every evening, and the denizens of London can there plea-
santly spend an hour or two, when time does not permit
of their going to gardens at a great distance. gr. Broom

IMPORTANT TO OWNERS OF HORSES.-
After long experience, deep researches into chymistry,
by the aid of costly machinery, I have discovered the means
whereby oats, beans, and oilcake may be entirely dispensed
with in the feeding of horses and cattle. I have now invented
a compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian corn,
linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24
worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the
market. Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 3lbs.,
at the cost of 5d., mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed
far a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three
quarterns of oats, costing 74d. 14 barrels weigh net 1 ton 1
cwt., at 16s. per cwt, £l6 16s. net cash, free, delivered by my
own waggons to any station in London. Nothing less than

panied with cheques crossed, made payable to the inventor,

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A SCENE AT A PFIOTOGRAPIIER'S.—Mr. Wm. Pimrcs,
the keeper of a photographic portrait place at 367, Oxford-
street, was charged, late on Saturday afternoon, with the
following assault :

Mrs. Catherine Anthony, the wife of a pay-sergeant of
the Fusilier Guards, Wellington Barracks, said she went
into the defendant's shop in Oxford-street, about 12 o'clock
on Saturday, to have her portrait painted for a brooch. She
did not have one painted for her brooch, but had a smaller
one done, and she afterwards objected to it, when she was
told that it would be all right when it was dry. She after-
wards returned and said she wanted her money back or a
fresh portrait, and after a few words' the defendant struck
her on the head, rendering her insensible, and then tore up
the portrait and pushed her down stairs, and the defend-
ant's " doorman" also attacked her and damaged her
clothes, and she felt certain that if she had not been rescued
she would have lost her life, as the bones of her stays were
broken. The defendant then pushed her down Oxford-
street, and gave her two severe blows in the mouth, loosen-
ing two of her teeth.
Samuel Butterilt, of 10, Eagle-street, Holborn, and a
witness named George Roberts, both proved seeing de-
fendant pushing the complainant along Oxford-street, and
give her two severe blows in the mouth.
Sergeant Howes, 21C, said he heard some gentlemen say
the defendant's conduct was shameful.

Defendant said the complainant went away well satisfied
with her portrait, and afterwards came back and began
" cutting away." He did give her a shove, and his band
might have gone in her face.

Wm. Sellman, defendant's " doorman," was called, but
the only material thing he proved was that defendant did
shove complainant away from the door, and that a mob
collected.

The Magistrate (Mr. Maude)—What is this place.
Sergeant Howes—lt is a photograph shop, and every-
body who passes has a portrait thrust in his or her face.
The magistrate said he had no doubt the defendant had
used a great deal of unnecessary violence. The defendant
was seen pushing the complainant violently along the
streets, and there was no wonder if bystanders collected,
Did he (defendant) think this was to be tolerated ? It was
a gross outrage on a respectable female, and defendant had
not mended his case by insinuating the complainant was in-
toxicated. He had no doubt done that to create a preju-
dice.
The defendant was then fined £.5, or imprisonment in
default.
