The scheme of works to be executed has been tho-
roughly investigated and carefully re-planned on behalf
of the Company, and particulars submitted to and ap-
proved by the Government, so that there will be no delay
in making preliminary surveys, plans, &c., all of which have
been effected, and everything made ready for immediate
constructive operations, a great advantage not possessed
heretofore by any other undertaking of a like character,
because the realisation of profits has been thus brought so

with the stock, to maintain an expenditure at the rate of
about .£130,000 per annum. £2 per share during each

The mounted portion of the detachment of No.
21 Troop Military Train marched from Aldershot
on Monday en route to Colchester. The dismounted
detachment will proceed by railway to the same
destination on Friday.
Much inconvenience having been occasioned by
the employment of regimental officers for an undue
period on the personal staff of General officers, and
of governors of the colonies, it has been decided to
restrict the term of service in such capacity to five
years in the former and six years in the latter case.
When an officer has completed such period, he will
be required to rejoin his regiment, and do duty with
it two years before he can be again similarly em-
ployed, unless he is willing to exchange to tempo-
rary half-pay.

Commanding officers of regiments at borne and
depots of regiments
on foreign service are ordered
to transmit to the Adjutant-General nominal re-
turns of all non-commissioned officers and others
who are borne in their corps as supernumeraries,
showing the situations held by them, the dates of
appointment, and, if the individual is married, the
date of marriage.

His Excellency Lieut.-General Renard, Belgian
Minister of War, accompanied by his aide-de-camp,
Capt. Renard, arrived at Portsmouth, from

tion to the fortifications of the port and roadstead,
and on alighting from the train at the Landport
Railway terminus was received by the Chevalier
Van Den Bergh, the Belgian Consul for Ports-
mouth. On Monday his Excellency, attended by
the Consul, paid the customary official visits to Ad-

ing his Excellency, accompanied by Flag-Capt. J.
B. Seymour, C. 8., Aide-de-Canip to the Queen,
embarked on board the. steam yacht Black Eagle,
Staff-Commander Whinier, and made an inspection
of the new fortifications at Hurst Castle and
the Needles, at Stokes-bay and Southsea, and of
the stone foundations and basements for the marine
forts on the Spit, Norman, Horse, and St. Helen's
shoals. To-day his Excellency will visit the exten-
sive cordon of fortifications intended to defend
Portsmouth on the land side of the port and arsenal,
at Portsdown, Fareham) Hilsea, Gosport, Brown-
down, &c.
An order has been received at the Royal Engineer
establishment, Chatham, directing volunteering
from the companies of Royal Engineers at head-
quarters 'for men to be employed with the corps
now being formed to be attached to the Depart-
ment of Public 'Works in India. The non-commis-
sioned officers and Sappers who have already volun-
teered are undergoing a special course of instruc-
tion in military engineering, levelling, surveying,
and road-making, at the Royal Engineer establish-
ment, to prepare them for employment on the public
works in India.

The detachments of Royal Artillery, Royal En-
gineers, 29th Regiment, and the Royal Canadian
Rifles, selected for service in Canada, left Chatham
garriaort yesterday Magoon and proceeded by

train to Liverpool, where they will embark to-day
on board the screw steamer Moravian for con-
veyance to Canada.

AFTER THE DERBY AT TATTERSALL'S.

The crowd standing outside Tattersall's on Mon-
day afternoon watched each great bookmaker or
turf patron alight from his cab or brougham, and
disappear through the door of the subscription room
with a wistful and anxious, but in the end gratified,
air. Just as after a.severe battle the survivors con-
gratulate each other on being alive, so, now that
the stormy Derby week is over, its colubaants look
round to see who are, and who are not, in the list
of killed and wounded. The assembly round Tat-
tersall's was of the lower middle class of the turf.
Small list-keepers, whose fate depended upon their
more important brethren being true—minnows
whose very life hung on the tritons not being too
severely bit; sporting publicans, tradesmen,
artisans, together with an ex-pugilist or two, made
up the throng. A former champion stood with his
back to the all-important door, and gaily joked
with a semicircle of admirers; a well-known eastend

list keeper laid down the law to his disciples as to
the hazards of the settling; and constant and hur-
ried colloquies were held between those going to
the rooms and the yard, and those compelled to re-
main outside. It is on record that the fortunate
mortals who have won their way into exclusive and
.exalted society have occasionally had recreants in
their ranks who condemned the fashionable salt of

the earth as dull. Becky Sharpe, with a baronet
for a brother-in-law and an earl's doughter for a
friend, felt the hollowness of human grandeur, and
thought she was happier with the Bohemian artists
in Soho ; and Thackeray himself declared he had
met people who, having stood face to face with the
great and good George W., said that, too, was
vanity. If the sporting outsiders at Knightsbridge
had any fanciful or high-flown estimate of the scene
beyond the magic portals, or if any readers imagine
settling day at Tattersall's to be anything but a
staid, formal, and business-like event, they would
have been strangely surprised at the proceedings of
Monday. It was a good settling. " Parting," as a
sporting correspondent wittily writes, was a "sweet
sorrow" indulged in to the extent of more than half a
million of money. But neither elation nor regret, nor
excitement nor emotion, found visible signs. Well-
dressed men began to flock into the great room
about 3, and continued to flock in so rapidly that
by 4 the place was crowded and impassable. With
balance-sheet or betting-book in hand, and pockets
and in some cases breasts stuffed with gold and
notes, the various members walked round the room,
satisfying and enforcing claims. The gait and
bearing most in vogue at Tattersall's savours of the
prowl. The head bent a little forward, eyes roving
from right to left, face at once preoccupied and
watchful, and an entire attitude expressive of
anxiety to recognise debtors, are perhaps natural
characteristics when thousands are being paid away
without legal acknowledgment or formal receipt.
Two men meet, nod, grunt out " one-forty-five," or
other amo'int, and pay and pocket respectively with-
out any memorandum passing save a pencil tick on
the slip of paper carried by each. These are the
peripatetic settlers. But at each end of .the hand-
some lofty room stand circular desks, round which
the men of larger transactions were paying and re-
ceiving during the afternoon. A few of the betting
giants sat at lower tables near, with piles of gold and
fat bundles of bank-notes before them, like money
changers ; and the rapidity with which these were
melted down, and the complete unanimity between
debtor and creditor were very remarkable. A large
and well-conducted bank, the Royal Exchange, or
other places where " merchants most do congre-
gate," a morning conversazione at which the hum
of talk is supplemented by the chink of gold, were
all brought to mind by Tattersall's. The settling
was grave, orderly, and to those not pecuniarily
interested a little dull. Such scraps of talk as
"Looking out for two men—one owing me £9OO
and another £7OO, and should be easier if I saw
em ;" " Only won £1,300 on the week, all told ;"
"I owe you some money or else you owe me some
money, which is it ?" were constantly floating in
the air," but " Change me a hundred," or words to
similar effect, are a better sample of the general
talk. The Subscription-room is luxuriously ap-
pointed. Tesselated pavement, stuffed leather fixed
seats running round the walls as at club smoking-
rooms, and nothing to impede locomotion save the
few tables we have instanced, stained glass win-
dows and decorations, the rich effect of which is
chastened by good taste, make up its interior.
Lord George Bentinek is reported to have said,
" all men are equal on the turf and under it ;" and
to visit Tattersall's is to realise the truth of the
axiom. Members of both Houses ; the highest
rank in the peerage, and some of the lowest rungs
in the social ladder ; comfortable, prosperous
respectability, and coarseness and irritability fined
down by the absorbing interest of the hour ; the
educated and the uneducated ; the vulgar and the
refined ; plebeians who looked like peers who might
be plebeians, were all crowded together, and all
transacting grave business in a grave way. It was
singular among the mass of people to whom betting
is either a profession, or the principal amusement
in life, to note faces familiar elsewhere, but who
seem out of place at Tattersall's. A civic func-
tionary whose garb of office is familiar at the cere-
monials of the year; a sober professional man,
whose face recalls consultations and heavy fees—a
busy merchant whose name is " good" for heavy
amounts in the city, might be seen in rapid suc-
cession—betting-book in hand—going through the
ordinary forms of the place. The printed lists of
the peers and other members who elect to pay
through agents and of those agents' names were
being consulted throughout the settling ; but a
cheerful resignation to and superiority over the
rubs of fortune were the marked features of the
day. "Those who can't pay won't come," replied
one gentleman philosophically to a friend's con-
gratulation on the highly satisfactory character of
the settling ; and his remark had cogency and force.

London, forty years ago, contained, with its nu-
merous suburbs, a million and a half of people. It has
now double that number. New York and its suburbs
have now a greater population t ban London bad in
1828, and this doubtless in about every fifteen years,
instead of forty. If we allow to London a yearly
increase in population of two per cent. on three millions of
inhabitants, and to Now York an increase of five per cent.
on a million and a half, London will contain, in 1882, four
millions, and New York and its suburbs three millions. In
1893 they should be nearly equal, Now York being iu ad-
vance, with 4,849,387 against 4,823,511 in London.
