Every possible care will be taken of the works sent, but in case of injury or loss the Commissioners will not be responsible. 6. Catalogues of the Exhibition will be published.—By command of the Commissioners, C. L. EASTLAKE, Secretary.  BRUTAL OUTRAGE BY THE MARINES UPON SOME Sal Loas. —These disgraceful and brutal outrages are still con. tinued nightly by these ruffians, in military garb, who thereby keep Woolwich in the greatest state of excitement possible. The night before last the marines more infuriated, if possible, rushed into the public-houses along High-street, declaring they would murder all that opposed, and in one house, the Duke on Horseback, a poor fellow of a sailor Lad to make a precipitate retreat up a place called the " Gardens," followed by about a dozen of his cowardly assailants, the civilians assembled not liking to interfere, from the fear of receiving some injury from their brutal and ruffianly conduct. So great was the riot that a military officer with an orderly was seen opposite the door of the Duke on Horseback, who, upon being seen by the soldiers, they ran away, but not before threatening to strike Alt. Clifford, the Inspector, and Mr. Watts, a parish-constable, which they would have c.irried into effect, had not police-constable Walker, 298 11, been there and ceen their cowardly intention, and took one of the fellows to the station-house, whom they dared not rescue, knowing him to be a most powerful and determined man, that would teach them better. Last night a similar scene was fully expected, but happily did not take place, ant it is to hoped will not again, as it not only causes a stagnation of trade, but prevents the inhabitants leaving their homes, for fear of encountering such brutal and unmanly ruffians, and perhaps being injured for life.
