On Saturday detachments of 23 non-commissioned
officers and men of the Ist Battalion of the Ist
Royals, and 42 non-commissioned officers and pri-
vates of the Ist Battalion of the Bth (the King's)
Regiment, left Chatham, and proceeded to Malta,
to join the service companies of their regiments
which are about proceeding from Malta to India.
The officers who left Chatham with the troops
were :—Capt. J. P. Jones and Lieut. G. W. Sawyer,
Bth Regiment ; and Ensign R. H. Derman, Ist
Royals.
The appointment of director of the Royal Engi-
neer establishment Chatham, vacant by the promo-
tion of Major-Gen. J. L. A. Simmons, C. 8., to the
list of general officers, has been conferred by his
Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge on Col. T.
Lionel J. Gallwey, until recently serving on the
Staff in Canada, as commanding Royal Engineer at
Quebec. Col. Gallwey will commence his duties at
the Royal Engineer Establishment, Brompton, early
in the ensuing month.
There was a general parade of the whole of the
officers and men of the Royal Engineers at head-
quarters, Chatham, at Brompton barracks, on
Saturday, to witness the presentation of a silver
medal " for distinguished service in the field," in
Abyssinia, to Corporal William Chamberlain, 10th
company of Royal Engineers. The medal, which
was awarded by his Royal Highness the Field-
Marshal Commanding-in-Chief, was presented to
Corporal Chamberlain by Major-Gen. Simmons,
C.8.,wh0 complimented the recipient on the distin-
guished nature of his services in Abyssinia which
had procured for him this mark of honour.
The finding of the district court-marial, which
recently assembled at Chatham, under the presi-
dency of Lieut.-Col. C. C. Chesney, Royal Engi-
neers, for the trial of Colour-Serg. Peter Logan,
50th (Queen's Own) Regiment, and Colour-Serg.
Henry Clark, 2d Depolßattalion of the Ist Royals,
canteen clerks at the Ist and 2d Depot Battalions'
canteen, having been approved by the Major-Gen.
commanding the division, the sentence was promul-
gated to the troops on Saturday. The prisoners
were tried for disgraceful conduct, in having, while
in charge of the canteen, fraudulently altered the
stock- book with intent to falsify the accounts, and
also with embezzling a sum of money, amounting to
nearly £4O, belonging to the canteen funds, They
were acquitted upon the charge of embezzlement,
and convicted on the other charges, the court sen-
tencing both the accused to be degraded to the rank
and pay of private soldiers.
The Buzzard, paddle transport vessel, arrived at
Spithead on Friday from Devonport, with super-
numerary seamen and marines on board.
On the Ist proximo it is understood that the new
scheme for the amalgamation of the Civil Depart-
ments—the Military Store, Commissariat, and Pur-
veyor's—will be made known. Great changes are
expected, particularly- in the Military Store Branch,
causing the removal of several officers at different
stations.
The War Department stores at present lodged in
the Tower of London, it is said, are about to be re-
moved to that portion of her Majesty's Dockyard
at Deptford which has been turned over to the War
Department, the remaining part of the dockyard
being reserved by the Admiralty for the Victualling
Establishment, or for other purposes.
On Thursday evening his Imperial Highness the
Grand Duke Alexis dined with Port Admiral Sir
William Martin, K.C.8., at Government-house,
Mount Wise, Devonport. On Friday morning the
Prince was conveyed in the steam yacht Princess
Alice from the Russian frigate Alexander, Newsky,
51, Capt. Krenier, in Plymouth Sound, to her Ma-
jesty's gunnery ship Cambridge, Capt. Hon. Fitz -
gerald, A. C. Foley, in Hainoazc.", and having wit-
nessed some shot practice with the guns, went on
board the ship Impregnable, 78, Capt. F. S. Trot/Ilea,
where the Prince, in company with Admiral Posiet,
saw the drilling of the boys who are under train-
ing for active service. On Saturday morning

which will detain the frigate possibly until to-day
or to-morrow.

The Revising Barrister for the City recommenced
his sittings in the Court of Common Picas, Guild-
hall, this morning. Five wards have been already
disposed of, but, unfortunately, there are 14 more
to be inspected.

Mr. Ledger and Mr. Smith again appeared for
the Liberal Association, and Mr. Harper for the
Conservative.

WHAT CONSTITUTES' A LODGER ?

Mr. Crutchl'ey, of 114, Bishopsgate-street,
claimed to be put on the register on the ground of
occupation of the above house since July, 1867,
but he did not begin to pay rent until lat Septem-
ber following. During the interval repairs and the
fitting up of fixtures were going on, but these were
paid for by Mr. Parnell, the landlord, although be
(the applicant) would have to repay him.
Mr. harper objected that there was no occupa-
tion, and the tenantcy could not. commence until
the rent *gan to run. lle could not be occupying
as a tenant without paying the rent.

The Revising Barrister—He might be a tenant
without it.

Mr. Harper—The purpose of the occupation as a
tenantcy only begins to run when he commences to
occupy the house beneficially.
The Revising Barrister—He was occupying it
most beneficially if he was fitting it up.
Mr. Crutchey said that Mr. Parnell was his
uncle, and that it was arranged that he should re-
pay him for the fixtures. He should have to pay it
back under a written agreement.
Mr. Ledger said that the occupation was quite
sufficient to create a tenantcy, and it was so held in
" Cook v. Cook." They had heard of such things
as a peppercorn lease, and he supposed his learned
friend would not dispute that to be a tenantcy. The
officers of the parish could tell the court that Mr.
Parnell had informed them that the applicant
would pay the rates and taxes from Blinsummer,
1867.

The Revising Barrister said that it was evidently
the intention of parties that there should be a con-
structive occupation, and he should therefore dis-
allow the objection.

Mr. Harper protested against this decision, on the
ground that it was contrary to the meaning of the
act, and ietimated that it was a proper ease for ap-
peal.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-- This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

DANGEROUS STONE THROWING.—JaiIICS Rippen,
a greengrocer, of No. 4, Thomas-street, Oxford-
street, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with wil-
fully throwing stones in Hyde Park to the common
danger of the passengers.

From the evidence of henry May, 297 A, it ap-
peared that yesterday afternoon he saw the prisoner
and a number of other lads throwing pieces of
granite, which had recently been spread on the road
in Hyde Park, at a chestnut tree a few yards from
the road, and after pursuing the prisoner for about
half a mile he succeeded in apprehending him.
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt the constable said
there was a complete shower of stones at the time,
and that the place where it was going on was a
much frequented part of thepark.
The prisoner denied throwing stones.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said that, considering the prisoner's
size (he is about 18 years old) and the things he was
throwing, he should fine him 10s. or seven days,
and if the practice was continued he should increase
the fine to 40s. or a month.

Orders have been received at Sheerness dock-
yard that the boilers of her Majesty's ship Scourge

power.

Her Majesty's ship Vanguard is to be renamed
,he Ajax.

Her Majesty's ship Barrosa, 21, screw corvette,
1,700 tons, 400-horse power, now stationed in the
reserve at Woolwich, is ordered to be removed to
Sheerness, for overhauling by the dockyard autho-
rities by the Ist of November next.
The screw steam gunvessel Tyrian, Lieutenant
and Commander Edmund J. Church, just returned
from the Mediterranean, was removed on Friday
from Plymouth Sound into Hamoaze, where she
was inspected on Saturday by Captain Preedy,
preparatory to her being paid off and put out of
commission.

The Valiant, 24, screw (4i-inch armoured iron)
frigate), Captain J. B. Kennedy, C. 8., was put

SHOCKING DEATH OF A PLATELAYER.—Ou Satur-
day a platelayer, in the employ of the London and
Brighton Railway Company, named liitchingham, met
with his death under the following shocking circum-
stances : It appears that the deceased was walking along
the line noar the New Cross station, having a hammer over
his shoulder at the time, when, in trying to avoid a train
of empty carriages, an express train coming along caught
the hammer and drew the deceased on to the metals and
passed over him, the consequence being that the deceased's
head was smashed in a most frightful manner, and the
body otherwise frightfully mutilated. Tho deceased's re-
mains were taken to the Railway Tavern, Now Cross, to
await an inquest.

SPORTING NOTES,

select Vauban; Grand Duke Michael, See-Saw, or Athena;
in the Hopeful Stakes, Morrie ; and in the Buckonhani

Rutland Stakes to the colt by Tim \Vhiti 3r. On Friday
the Forlorn Stakes may be credited to Lady Cecilia
the 30 sovs S woopstakes to Do Yore ; and the 30 sous

Sweepstakes to Chanoinesse. For the Newmarket October

Handicap (1 mile 2 furlongs 73 yards) sixty-seven horses
have been weighted. Vespasian, 9st 131 b, heads the list ;
but we do not perceive what winning chance this fine son
of Newmineter possesses. The Hermit, Lanoret, Lozenge,
Hippia, and Lucifer have been overweighted ; but King
Victor, Bst 101 b, is remarkably well treated, and, if he can
stay the course, what can beat him ? Of the

middle weights Grey Stocking, Tat 71b; Jaspar,
7st 31b ; See-Saw, 7st 21b; and Wild Briar, Gst 121 b,
are the best—See-Saw being my particular choice of
this lot. Amongst the lighter-weighted horses
Ravioli, Gst 91b ; Moleskin, Gst 91b ; Marmite, Gst 81b ;
Contempt, Gst 61b; and Porter's Knot, Gst 21b, stand out
prominently ; but neither of these take my attention like
King Victor, See-Saw, and Jasper. The latter horse ran
indifferently at Doncaster, but on that occasion ho was

not up to the nark in condition, and he will perform bet-
ter on a future day. Under any circumstances, however,
I should award the preference to King Victor and See-
Saw, and the better of the latter pair should hit the win-
ning mark.

THE SCREW STEAMER MELITA.—The screw
steamer lielita, lately burnt at sea coming from Boston to
Liverpool, never was in the Cunard Company's service,
and the Cunard Company had nothing to do with her. She
belonged to Messrs. Dixon, of Liverpool, and at the time
of her loss was one of Warren's line.

The meetings for the week are Edinburgh, Newmarket
First October, Tenby, and Walsall. The series of Scotch
gatherings will be continued at Edinburgh on Thursday,
Friday, and Saturday ; and, judging by the programme
issued, Mr. Turner will have an excellent meeting, as all
the closed stakes have secured capital entries. Eighteen
items figure in the list, and those completed for
Thursday are the Lothians Handicap, the Garrison
Plate, and the Golfers' Cup. For the Lothians Handi-
cap (li miles) eighteen horses have accepted, and the
weights now range from Fortunio, Bst 121 b, to Booty and
Lady Zetland, Get each. Fortunio, Bst 121 b, ran indifferently
at Kelso, and as he is no longer the horse I saw win the
Northumberland Plate, ho will be defeated by the next on
the list, Taraban, Bst 71b, who is very dangerous.
Three per Cent, Bst 21b, is inferior to Taraban ; and
Honesty, Bst, cannot stay the course. Of T. DAWSOLI'S
Trio The Corporal, Bst; The Priest, 7st 1111); and Donald-
bain, 7st llb —we prefer The Corporal, who is a goog
horse, though a doubtful stayer, and, moreover, he will
have the advantage of being fresh. King's Cross, ist 131 b,
must be getting stale from recent exertions. Newland,
7st 71b, though ho will meet Paganini, Est 121 b (including
ltilb extra) on easier terms than he did at Kelso, will again
be defeated by Mr. Smith's colt, who will as near win
as possible. Lady Henrietta, Est 131 b ; Idalia (by Mout-
more), Est 121 b; Rabbit Trap, Est 71b, and Rel-tub, Gst
51b, are moderate horses, and do not appear to possess
tempting chances. Russian Boar, Est 31b, is well
in, but be will not stay the course ; neither will Flora,
6st 51b; Lady Zetland, 6st ; nor Booty, 6st. Taraban,
The Corporal, Newland, and Paganini are the horses I
like best ; and for choice I retain Paganani and New-
land. There are nineteen nominations for the Garrison
Plate (1 mile), and the batter of Watson's pair—Man of
Ross or Elvire—may win. Twenty-one horses have been
handicaped for the Golfers' Cup (once round and a dis-
tance); and the lot, with few exceptions, are so bad that
The lisp or Bay Loaf might be found good enough to win.
On Friday, ii the Sportsmen's Nursery Handic.ap (about
6 furlongs), 67 two year olds have been named, and the
weights have been distributed with great judgment. The
lot, however, that I take to the best in are the
filly by Newminster, out of Lady MelboUrne, Tat
91b; Consternation, 7st 61b ; Brother to Shibbo-
leth, 7st 21b; colt by the Cure out of English
Rose, Est 131 b ; Zepolya, Get 121 b ; Candid°, Est 81b ;
and Lady-in-Waiting, 6st 71b. The English Rose colt,
when his day arrives, is sure to win a good handicap ; but
on this cccation I prefer Consternation and the Lady
Melbourne filly. In the Stewards' Plate (6 furlongs)
Elvire and Mau of RAs will be to the fore ; and in the
Buccleuch Handicap (li miles) The Priest and Three per
Cent. have been the most favourably weighted. The
closed races for Friday are the Edinburgh Handicap,
the Tradesmen's Plate, and the Hurdle Handicap. The
Edinburgh Handicap (once round and a distance) has
secured thit teen acceptances, the pick of which are
Three-per-Cent., Bst 121 b; The Priest, Bst 61b; Russian
Bear, Est 131 b; and Paganini, 7st 5113 (inc 71b extra). The
superiority of T hree- per-Cent. over The Priest or otherwise
will probably have been decided in the Baccleuch Handi-
cap on Thursday. As the weights, however, now stand,
my choice of the pair is Three per Cent., whose most dan-
gerous opponent may be discovered in Paganiui. In the
Tradesmen's Plato (1 mile) thirty-two horses of various
ages have been engaged, the most taking of which aro
Kingmaker, 9st llb ; Shamrock, 9st ; Miss Hayes, Bst 111 b;
and Stamford, 7st 91b. Miss Hayes seems quite capable
of winning, if sent so far north ; and only in the absence
of Mr. Merry's filly should I look for the success of
Stamford or Shamrock. For the Hurdle Handicap (111)
miles thirteen horses have been entered, and to the brace
of heavy weights—Brilliant and Nothing More—the race
will probably be confined.

Tlie Newmarket First October Meeting will commence
to-morrow, and conclude on Friday. The principal
feature in Tuesday's list is the Great Eastern Railway
Handicap (5 furlongs HO yards), for which seventy-six
horses have been nomivatad. Xi, 9st 101 b,
.occupies the
post of honour; but, in my opinion, noun of the heavy
weights have a chance till 1 coma to Vas Arnburgh, 8a t
81b, who, considering his antecedents, is well in. The
next candidate that strikes me is Bounceaway, Bst ; and
this filly has only to be in her old form to win easily.
Monitor, 7st 131 b; Bombastos, 7st 1 llb ; Professor An-
derson, ist 91b ; Cellin a, 7st 71b ; Vex, 7st 41b ; His-
torian, 7st 21b ; Reindeer, ist llb ; St. Angelina, 7st ;
Lady Highthorn, 6st 101 b; Belphegor, Gst 131 b ; and Nelly
Rose, sst 121 b, are a lot well adapted to travel the course,

as they all belong to the sp"edy class. Of those specially
alluded to, Bounceaway, Monitor, and Reindeer may be
found the best ; and, as I have not seen Bounceaway out
since the Craven Meeting, I must trust to St. Angelina
and Professor Anderson ; Bombastes may secure a place.
In the Nineteenth Triennial Produce Stakes I must

Stakes, Belladrum or Paul Jones. On Wednesday
the Twentieth Triennal Prolice will probably be
woo by Nyanza; the Biennial Sweepstakes by Teuedos ;
St. Leger Stakes, Moslem ; and the Granby Stakes by
Poinsettia. Oa Thursday, fur the Handicap Sweepstakes,
Sister to Vedette or Aurifera would be my choice; the
Twenty-first Triennial Produce Stakes will fall to Mr.
Merry's representative, Belladetnn or Crocus ; aul the
