Yesterday morning, soon after daylight, the
whole of the troops attached to the 3d depot bat-
talion at Chatham Garrison were marched to the
Spur Battery, at St. Mary's, where they were
drawn up for the purpose of witnessing the carrying
out of a sentence of a district court-martial passed
on C. O'Brien, a private in the 18th Royal Irish
Regt., who was adjudged to receive 50 lashes, and
afterwards to undergo a term of imprisonment in
Fort Clarence, for having robbed one of his com-
rades, and for other acts of theft. The usual preli-
minaries having been made, the prisoner was sent
for from the guardroom, when it was found that
during the night he had escaped from his plaCe of
confinement and evaded the vigilance of a number
of soldiers on sentry by getting clear of the barracks.
A searching investigation was immediately institu-
ted by the authorities relative to the escape of the
prisoner, but nothing satisfactory was elicited. It
supposed that he must have escaped by means of
the guardroom window.
The reinforcements forthe 3d bat. of 60th Rifles,
under the command of Ensign W. L. K. Ogilvy and
Ensign U. St. G. Barton, will leave Chatham this

which presidency the service companies are sta-
tioned.

The strength of the garrison at Chatham having
been considerably augmented by the arrival of re-
cruits for the purpose of joining the Indian depots
at the Provisional Battalions, the authorities at the
Horse Guards have decided on removing the 3d
depot laattAlion, under the command of Col. R.
Sandars, C. 8., as soon as a suitable station cau be
found. By this arrangement the troops will acato
St. Mary's Barracks, as that establishment will be
required for the large number of sick and wounded.
who are now on thir passage home from India,
ni,ina. and Pprqin.
Lieut.-Col. C. Elmhirot, commanding the 3a bat-
talion at Chatham, having been appointed to the
command of the 2d battalion of the 9th Foot, has

DUBLIN, MONDAY MORNING.
THE RUN FOR GOLD.

One of the Galway papers (the Tuant Rcrald)
st%tes that during the last few days a great many
holders of National Bank notes have applied for
gold at the bank in that town.

"The bank (it is added) is meeting every demand by
gold, which it seems to hold in abundance. We know not
the origin of this run, but we know it is the opinion of all the
intelligent men in the community that the panic, which
is almost altogether confined to the peasantry, is totally
unfounded. It was at the fair of Kilmaie, on Wednes-
day, that the matter was first spoken of."
One of the Dublin trade reports states that the
bills of the Liverpool Borough Bank are held to
some extent here, but not the slightest apprehen-
sion is entertained as to there being any danger
of loss in the matter. It was the custom of
several of the cattle-dealers who frequent Smith-
field-market here to exchange the money they
received in England in
for two months' bills
