THE ARMY.

In our article on Aldershott of the 16th we mis-
took the West York Rifles for the 3d West York
Militia, which were in camp for so long a time. It
is the formerregiment which is now stationed there.
A detachment of the 4th battalion of the Rifle
Brigade, consisting of 1 officer and 101 non-com-
missioned officers and men, have received orders to
proceed to-morrow from Winchester to Portsmouth,
for embarkation on board her Majesty's ship
Hannibal, to join service companies at Malta.
The 32d company of Royal Engineers arrived in
Weymouth for the Channel Islands on Friday
evening last, under the command of Capt. W. J.
Stuart and Lieut C. A. L. Campbell. On Saturday
morning they embarked on board the Cygnus, one
of the Great Western steamboats, and proceeded to
Alderney, where they will be employed in repairing
the fortifications of that island.
The 18th company of Royal Engineers, which has
been some time under orders to be raised to its proper
strength, arrived in Weymouth from Chatham on
Monday afternoon, commanded by Capt. R. Haw-
thorne and Lieut. E. N. Peters. They will be em-
ployed in putting the line of coast in that neigh-
bourhood in a complete state of defence.
Instructions have been sent to the staff of the
South Devon Militia at Plymouth to enrol growing
lads five feet high, and men up to 40 years of age,
being an extension of six years beyond the previous
regulation.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In your paper of the 17th instant an an-
nouncement appeared headed—" Extraordinary
story about the Dauphin of France." The parti-
culars of the inquest I leave in other hands for the
present, but I must beg to correct the latter part of
your statement. So far from my father, the late
Augustus Meves, wishing to keep his strong con-
viction of his right to the title of Dauphin of France
from the world, it was his greatest desire to give it
every publicity in his power, and in his general
conversation with friends, both English and foreign,
his firm belief never faltered in such conviction.
memoir of his life, written by himself, has been in
the hands of a publisher the last eleven weeks, it
being my lamented father's desire the public should
judge the truth of this most important question,—
Your speedy insertion of this will oblige his son,
WILLIAM AUGUSTUS MEVES.

THE MURDER AT HORNSEY.

Yesterday morning, at 11 o'clock, Mr. John Hum-
phreys, the coroner for East Middlesex, opened an
inquiry at the Three Compasses Tavern, Dalston,
respecting the death of Martha Page, aged 24
years, who died from the mortal effects of a stab
wound in the abdomen, inflicted by Samuel Adams,
her brother-in-law, on the morning of the sth
inst., under circumstances briefly detailed in our
impression of Monday last in the Clerkenwell Police
intelligence.
The jury having viewed the body, which was
lying at the German Hospital,
The Coroner said that he had written to the
Secretary of State, for the purpose of securing the
presence of the accused, and had received the
following communication from the Home-office :
" WHITEHALL, May 16, 1859.
" Sir,—l am directed by Mr. Secretary Sotheron-
Estcourt to acknowledge the receipt of your letter
of the 16th init., requesting him to instruct the
police to produce at an inquest, to be held by you
to-morrow, Samuel Adams, a prisoner on remand.
Mr. Estcourt understands that Saturday next, the
21st inst., is the day fixed for the re-examination of
the prisoner—he can only instruct the police to
produce him at an adjourned inquest on that day.
This he has done, subject to the making the arrange-
ment with the Commissioners of Police, and in
strict reliance upon the understanding that the
proceedings at the inquest shall not in any way
interfere with the appearance of the prisoner before
the magistrate at the time appointed.
" I am, sir, your obedient servant,
" GATIIORNE HARDY."
After a few remarks from the learned coroner,
the first witness examined was—

Sarah Page, of 17, Chapel-street, Norwich, who
said—_l am a married woman, and wife of John.
Page, an ostler. The deceased was my daughter,
and was in the 24th year of her age. She was a
single woman, and I last saw her alive on Friday
last, at the German llospial. She WAS then §uffer-

WHITECHAPEL.

Tho trado generally is very inactive, as follows :
Beef, from 3s Od to 4s 4d ; mutton, 3s 2d to 4s 6d ;
lamb, 4s 8d to 5s 6d ; veal, 4s Od to 5s Od ; and pork, 38
2d to 4s 2d per Btb., by the carcase.

BOROUGH HOP.
Our market to-day is very firm, and in some instances
prices have an upward tendency.

The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon
exhibited a slight advance in the rates on Vienna,
Trieste, and Amsterdam ; but on Hamburg the
quotation was rather lower.
There were no bullion operations of importance
at the Bank of England yesterday, but the gold
by the Sydenham, viz. £60,864, has been taken for
the Continent.

Of all combinations, and combinations are now
prevalent, the most important is that uniting the photogra-
phic art with portrait engraving. We have seen many en-
graved portraitures, calling forth much admiration, pro-
duced by the pencil and the graving tool alone, but these
are mere relics of a by-gone age now that photography
gives the engraver the very reflex of the countenance he is
required to produce upon steel. Amongst our portrait en-
gravers of the higher class, Mr. W. Holl takes very elevated
rank, and perhaps his happiest effort is one of his most re-
cent works, a portrait of Professor Holloway ; this has been
attained by the happy combination of art we allude to, and is
pronounced by competent judges equally excellent as a life-
like portrait as it is beautiful as an artistic effort.
We understand that Mr. Holloway had been re-
quested to publish a portrait of himself, especially
by his many foreign friends, for a long time with-
out avail, but yielding to solicitation, he has now
had one executed in the best possible manner, which he offers
to those who desire to possess it, at one-half the price at
which it is produced, and in such a form as may be deemed
most desirable, recommending itself as much on account of
its merits of manipulation as it does for its faithful delinea-
tion. The proof-impressions (with autograph), may now be
obtained in a very unique frame, elegantly got up in crimson
Utrecht velvet and gold, forming a worthy accompaniment
to this excellent portraits suitable to be hung in the cabinet,
drawing. room, or boudoir—its truly chaste design ensuring
it a favourable reception everywhere. These may be had,
framed as we have described, size 15in. by 13in. at 10s. 6d.
each, packed in a case and forwarded carriage free by sand-
ing a post .office order, or postage stamps, to Mr. Holloway's
establishment, 244, Strand, London. We may also mention
that in order to secure his friends proofs possessing that
sharpness of line deemed so essential by admirers of en-
graving, Mr. Holloway has determined that only a very
limited number shall be issued.

We regret to hear that Rear-Admiral Henry
Dundas Trotter, while paying a visit at the Hydro-
graphic Department at the Admiralty yesterday
afternoon, was seized with a paralytic attack. The
gallant Arctic voyager was at once conveyed to his
residence, in Devonshire-place.
A strong line of defences to connect Fort Gomer
with Fort Monkton, in the Portsmouth district, will
be commenced forthwith.
The Hornet, 17, screw, Commander Viscount
Gilford, was paid off at Portsmouth yesterday under
the superintendence of Capt. A. Farquhar, of her
Majesty's ship Victory. She had been officially
inspected the day previous by Commander Gard-
ner, of her Majesty's ship Asia, in the absence of
Capt. Gordon, commanding steam reserve, who
passed the highest encomiums on her senior lieute-
nant
for the cleanly state of the ship, and the man-
ner in which she had been cleared out, and her
gear, &c., returned to store. The same evening
the crew had leave ashore until yesterday morning,
the time appointed for paying off, when every man
returned on board perfectly sober and clean, a'credit
to themselves and their officers. The whole of the
crew, with the exception of some half dozen, have
rejoined the service. We regret to hear that her
gallant commander, Viscount Gilford, still suffers
at times most acutely from the wound which he
received in his arm at the taking of Canton.
The Neptune, 91, screw, Capt. Sir W. Hoste,
will leave Portsmouth harbour on Monday next,
and anchor at Spithead. This fine . old three-
decker sailing ship, recently converted into a screw
two-decker, is not surpassed, in point of beauty, by
any modern ship belonging to the Queen's service.
Trafalgar, 91, screw, Captain Edward G. Fan-
shawe, may be expected to arrive at Spithead to-
day or to•morrow.
A court-martial be held this morning on
board the Victory, flagship, in Portsmouth harbour,
to try Mr. C. A. Goodyer, late paymaster of her
Majesty's ship Hornet, on a charge of neglect of
duty.

The paddle-wheel steam vessel Firefly, hr ving
been thoronghly repaired at Woolwich, was yester-
day ordered to be masted and rigged, and other-
wise prepared for immediate commission for coast

THE ROYAL STATION HOTEL, Paragon-
street, Hull, requires only to be visited to be pronounced
one of the most splendid hotels in England. The situation is
open and healthful, a few minutes' walk from all the public
buildings and places of business, and being connected with
the Railway Station, affords railway passengers arriving or
de. arting by every train day or night, the advantage of being
on the spot, and having their wants and wishes immediately
attended to.
The public should know that under the present manage
ment they will find every comfort and convenience at the
same charges they are paying at the minor hotels. It has
accommodation for upwards of one hundred and fifty visitors,
is fitted up with every luxury an hotel can command, and is
so arranged for the advantage of every class of visitor, that
Beds can be had from is. to 2s. ; Private Rooms, from 2s. to
4s. ; Breakfasts, from Is. 6d. to 2s. ; Dinners, from 2s. ; and
all other charges of that moderate character which will give
satisfaction to every class of visitor who may pay the hotel a
visit.
The hotel contains Gentlemen and Ladies' Coffee Rooms ;
a special Room set apart for Commercial Gentlemen ; fourteen
P ivate suites of Rooms ; large spacious Rooms for Dinner
Parties, Public Meetings, &c., &c. ; two first-class Refresh li
-
ment Rooms ; two Smoke Rooms ; Bath
-and Billiard Rooms.

THE PIG CLASSES.

According to the Society's rules these are deno-
minated the large and small breed classes. We can
never define the distinction, for large and splendid
specimens of the porcine race meet us down every
alley. These classes are well filled, and would oc-
cupy a long time in careful inspection.
The special prizes were well contended for. The
Berkshire breed classes were well filled.
This bids fair to be a most successful meeting.
The attendance was beyond expectation yesterday
being 8,530. To-day the rush of visitors has been
very groat.

rrITZ—TREATIVIENT 9f. STRICTURES. of the
URETHRA ; showing why they so often appear In-
curable, when in reality they might be removed by the most
simple means.
By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E.,

And formerly Surgeon,to the Metropolitan_ Infirmary for the

Cur 6. of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of-strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
finds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
thcfr management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. Ist, 1858.
London: H. Bailliere, 219, Regent-street.

PHE LONDON.—The attention of Gentlemen
J. is especially drawn to the advantages offered in these
elegant and spacious Saloons, which fulfil all the require-
ments of a West-end club of the most aristocratic and exclu-

able, carry their complaints further. They have the
audacity to affirm that the transfer of the Imperial
rights over Lombardy minus Venetia, and minus
everything else, is not an equivalent for 500,000,000 E.
and mountains of slain. I hear of proclamation s
being torn or defaced in certain quarters of the city
inhabited by the mechanical or the student class; an d
of very strong comments by several who stop t o
read them. I fear much that those who desired t o
take the horses from the Emperor's carriage an d
draw it to the railroad station, when he was leaving
for Italy on the 10th May last, would now allow
the cortege to enter without any such let or him-
drance, troublesome, though flattering.

On the arrival of the Warrior at Mogador, the

and, in consequence of his having abandoned the
town, a republic was proclaimed.
