THE INDIA MAILS.— SOUTHAMPTON, JAN. 1.--
The Oriental Company's steam-ship Oriental, Captain
Soy, left this port to-day for Alexandria, with the mails
for Egypt, India, and China, consisting of 80 boxes and
7 bags, also upwards of 100 passengers. and a large
freight of Manchester goods, so large as to compel her
to leave several tons behind for the next boat. The
Peninsular packet Lady Mary Woed, which arrived here
on Saturday evening, has brought from Gibraltar the
damaged shaft of the Great Liverpool, which has been
forwarded to Scotland to be rejoined, and it is expectod
to be in readiness to be taken out in the Iberia on the
10th. The Peninsular Company's boat Royal Tar is
taking in cargo at the East India Docks, and will sail
on the 10th for Constantinople, &c. She has been
obliged to take down the saloon and berths, to enable
her to receive all her goods. The Royal West India
mail-packet Teviot, Captain Allen, will leave here to-
morrow with the mails for the West Indies, South Ame-
rica, &c. All her berths are engaged. She has also
860 bottles of quicksilver.
BRITISH MusEum.—The number of visitors to this
national establishment in the whole of last year (1843)
was 517,375. This was a falling off from the previous
year (1842), when they were 547,718. In 1839 the
numbers were 280,850; in 1840, 247,929; and in 1841,
319,374. The number of visitors during the late holi-
day week was 41,151, being, on Tuesday, 18,377; Wed-
nesday, 13,281 ; Thursday, 1,683 ; and Friday, 7,810.
The \l useum was closed yesterday, and will remain so
during the whole of the present week.
MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.---MAIDSTONE.—A small
detachment of ten men of the 7th Dragoon Guards is at
this depot, under orders to join the head-quarters of that
regiment at the
Cape of Good Hopo. The officers who
will accompany the draft are Cornets Gore and Burn-
bray, of the 7th. It is stated that the depot of the 16th
Lancers, which
was transferred from Canterbury to
Maidstone in September last, will, at an early period, be
removed from the last place to Brompton Barracks. The
reason assigned for this change is, that the depot at
Maidstone is insufficient for accommodation of the num-
ber of men at present there, in addition to the large
number of recruits required to reinforce the 3d Light
Dragoons and 9th Lancers in the East.
SINGULAR CuAttAernit.—On Thursday an inquest
was held at the house of George Laws, Spring-garden-
lane, Sunderland, before Mr. Middleton, deputy-coroner,
on the body of Elizabeth ApplebY, single woman, aged
82 years, who was found lying dead in her bed on the
previous morning. Verdict—" Died by the visitation of
God." The deceased was eccentric in her habits, and
had lived in the same room, near the head of Spring-
garden-lane, for upwards of 60 years, till the Monday
previous to her death, when she removed to an adjoin-
ing one on account of smoke. She has not been known
to burn a candle in her room for the last 30 years, and
had not been out of doors for upwards of 40 years, al-
though not incapacitated by infirmity.—Northern ( Sun-
derland)l'imes.
