Times . — " The 92 nd Hig hlanders Jmve _ lately formec the garrison of Edinburg h Castle . On Fnday , the 22 nt nlfc , the regiment embarked at . Granton for Fort George . The wife of one of the privates had been confined on the previous Wednesday , and , -when the regiment marched from the Castle , this -poor creature , scarcely two days confined , was lifted , into a hackney , cab , driven , screaming with pain , ' through the crowded streets of tlie Scotch capital , and placed on board ship to undertake a two days * voyage to the destination of the regiment . Whether or not this outrage took place with the
woman ' s consent , I an unaware ; but the scandal of the whole proceeding points it out as a fit subject for illustration . " Shipwreck of the Western Bride . —The "Western Bride , on its way from the Cliiiicha Islands to Queen ' stown , Ireland , has been completely wrecked . On the 26 th of February , in latitude forty degrees south , longitude seventy-height degrees west ; the ship , from the influence , of very strong winds and heavy seas , became leaky . On the 27 th , the foreyard was carried away . On the 2 nd of March the vessel entered the Straits of Magellan ; but the gale was so violent that it was found impossible to cast anchor . The ship then continued its voyage until the 8 th , when she struck on a reef of sunken rocks , about two miles from . Barranca Point . She continued to strike very heavily for two
hours and a half ,-when she floated again ; bat the injuries she had received were so great , that , although the pumps were vigorously manned , the water fast gained on tlie crew , who lad barely time to save themselves in two boats . The vessel sank immediately they were cleaT of her , The crew suffered great agony on Baraxa Point , where they landed ; for they had only a few soaked biscuits and no water . The weather was bitterly cold , but they feared to light a fire , lest the natives , who are cannibals , might come down upon them . They remained five days on this point , when , the sea having abated , they took to their boats , rowed across the straits , and , after several days' agony from hunger and thirst , reached a small Chilian settlement in Patagonia , the governor of whicfc , a Dane , received them kindly . On the 15 th of May they were taken off by the United States war brig Bainbridge .
Pax-Sergeant Wuxiabi James , of the I Oth company of Sappers and Miners , has absconded with a considerable sum of the public money . He has hitherto borne a good character , and has but recently returned from the Crimea . Thb TiPPBRAR-yMiUTiA was disembodied on Monday . At eleven o'clock-the men were drawn up in line , as were also the depots of the 9 th , 3 Sth , and 17 th Regiments . After going through some evolutions , they formed into square , the General and staff stood in the centre , and Sir James Chatterton addressed them , observing : — "I attend here with the Tipperary Militia on their disembodiment , and I fondly hoped I should be able to give you that meed of praise whicli I was able to give to all the other militia regiments in my district . I cannot do that ; yoii have committed acts of such a character as
leave it impossible for me to give you approbation . I had fondly hoped you would leave the militia with honour ; but in this I was disappointed . You listened to the advice of evil-disposed persons—you forgot the respect due to your officers aud to yourselves , and you novrsee the melancholy consequences upon some of your comrades of hearkening to bad advice . " After some further remarks , the General said , " Officers of the Tipperary Militia , you have my fullest approbation for the ¦ way in which you have acted on this trying occasion . " At the close of his address , a memorandum from the General commanding in Ireland was read , administering a still further reproof to the men for the part they had taken in the late Nenagh outrages , and defending the regulations which , are alleged to have provoked them . These , it ia stated , were in accordance with the usual rules . ••• ¦
Supposed Loss op a Screw Collier and all . HANDS . * -Tho Whitley Park iron screw collier left the Tyne seventeen days ago , deeply laden with coals for Havre . No more has been heard of her ; but the crew of a vessel saw a large iron ship go down in the Channel daring the late gales , and there is every reason to think that she was tha Whitloy Park . Above a dozen hands w « re on board tlie collier , vvliicb . was quite a new vessel .

The jury I suggested that boats of at Iea 3 t twenty-five feet in \ length should , be supplied to the -whole of the vessels of ¦ war lying in ordinary £ n the Medway , the boats now in i use being , in the opinion of the jury , unsafe for the > work required of them , more especially in the winter , rno * nths . . Mr . Askey , the second in command at the coast-guard
station at Svmnage , has been drowned inTStudland Bay , having beeu thrown out of his boat by the violence of the winds and waves . A man has been killed , while in a state of drunkenness , by falling into a vat of boiling water , on the premises of Mr . Wrigley , sizing manufacturer , Spring "Wood , near Halifax . The vat , at the time , liad about half a load of bones in it ; and the man was helping to throw in some more , when , being intoxicated , he became dizzy , and fell over the edge . His companion pulled him partly out , but he fell back , and , when got out again , he implored that he might be thrown in once more , to put him out of his agony . He declared he had swallovred three mouthfuls of the water .
A remarkable accident and escape ( says a local paper ) lately took place at Harrington . A boy , about five years old , fell into the stream ; the waters were swollen by the heavy rains to the bulk of a river , and the child was borne along until he was washed . over a sluice with a fall of twenty feet . Some people tried to rescue him before he approached the culvert , or tunnel , through which the stream passes for some two hundred or three hundred yards , under the houses ,. road , and railwaybridge , but they could -not succeed . He was given up for lost ; but he emerged on the further side of the bridge , and , when on the point of being carried out to sea , was caught by some labourers on the spot , and rescued , very little the worse .
A man , aiamed William Connor , has been killed , and five others seriously injured , by a casualty which occurred on Wednesday morning at the hew block of buildings , "Wellington Barracks , Birdcage-walk . The accident was caused by tlie giving way of a portion of the cornice of the front part of the building facing Jamesstreet . It is alleged / that the workmen neglected sufficiently to counterbalance the projection of the cornice by the parapet , and that this led to the casualty . The scaffold was brought to the ground with twelve or fourteen workmen upon it . The persons injured were taken to WestminsteT Hospital . ¦!' .,.
An inquest was held at Jiixton , on Tuesday , upon the body of JSdwarcl Cunnington , coachman to Mr . Baker , of Cottesmore , agent to the Earl of Gainsborough . Mr . Baker had been dining with the Earl of Gainsborough , and had oidered his dogcart to be at the door at halfpast ten o clock to take him home . At about a quarter to eleven o'clock , the Rev . William Gibson left the house , and noticed the horse and cart standing at the door . Mr . Baker left the Iiouse a few minutes later , but the dogcart could not then bo seen . Lights were procured , a search yy / is made , and after some time a hat , and the seat and cushion of a dogcart , -were found floating in a piece of water in the pleasure-grounds , about a hundred yards from the house , and about thirty yards from the road leading to Cottesmore . The cart , and the dead bodies of the horse and coachman , were afterwards discovered . The coachman appears to have been slightly intoxicated when ha left the house .
A telegraphicmessage has been received by the Society of St . Peter ' s College , Cambridge , to the effect that the Rev . William Nind M . A ., Senior Fellow of the College , has met with an accident which resulted in his death . Mr . Nind was staying at the Hotel du Monde , Paris , where he was spending u part of the Long Vacation-Lato on Monday night , a fire having , froiu some unknown cause , broken out in the hotel , an alarm was given , and Mr .

WHICH IS WHICH ?—QUEKN VICTORIA AND THE EX-QUEEN OF OUDE . Whenever there is the presence of Royalty , oither possessing or not possessing a kingdom—there will ccatntic flunkoyisin bo rampant—there will penny-aliniug glow like scarlet plush . Tho vcritablo Quoon , our
Sovereign Lady Victoria , goes for an autumnal holiday to Scotland : flunkeyism go « s with her , and-dogs her steps to the most solitary retreats . The sham Queen of Oude conies to England to get back a kingdom for her son : flunkeyism lacqueys her from Southampton to London . Let the reader judge for himself Thus discourses Mr . Jenkins , of the Morning Post ' on the genuine Queen in Edinburgh : — "This" (" the 29 th ult . ) " has been a great day for ' Auld Reekie * Long years have passed since the ancient Palace of Holyrood-has boasted the jrresence of a reigning
sovereign within its walls for any period beyond the few short hours needful for tlie repose of the Court in its autumnal progress to-tlie Highlands . Her Majesty ' s gracious intention to honour her Scottish capital with even one day's sejour has , therefore , been received with unusual satisfaction , and not without substantial cause for it is universally admitted the city has rarel y been so full of visitors— -the great majority doubtless attracted by the presence of the Court . The sun , obscured for many days , broke through the clouds this morning , as if in . honour of ' the Queen ' s jpresence . "
Now for the Queen , who is-only a Queen in name . We read in the Times : — . " The ex-Queen of Oude and the heir apparent , together with their entire suite , suddenly left Southampton last night ( Aug . 30 th ) for London by special train . It was not until the middle of yesterday it became known that the departure of this illustrious family was so near , as the time of their intended removal was carefully concealed to prevent , if possible , any confusion arisiog from unwarrantable curiosity . " The penny-a-liner , be it observed , is privleged to be as curious and as unwarrantable as he likes . On arriving at the station , " the ladies closely veiled , " continues the Times , " made theirAppearance , and were ushered into their carriage , the blinds of which- were immediately
drawn , the exterior from that moment being carefully guarded . The ladies of the harem , with their heads also entirely covered , next arrived , and were treated in a similar manner . These , however , were less careful of their privacy , for , upon being seated , the curtains -which had previously totally excluded them from the gaze of the spectators were slightly opened , their curiosity to witness the excitement wliich prevailed evidently overcoming a proper compliance with the customs of their race . The King ' s brother and the heir ^ apparent , accompanied by an equerry , occupied a compartment to themselves , and when all had arrived , an intimation was made that the Queen was near at hand . Her Majesty , with the greatest caution , and ( perfectly , secluded from view , had been placed in a carriage afc the York Hotel , the
large gates of which assisted materially in preventing the obtrusive gaze of the bj-sranders . At the station , however , matters were differeriti and Mr . Brandon tcquested that the platform should lie entirely cleaied of every person beyond himself and the native attendants . This arrangement Mr . Watkins , the superintendent , very properly declined , and several suggestions were made ns to the best way by which her Majesty could be placed in the carriage unprofaned by » . a single male eye . The removal of the lamp . frorn the roof of the carriage was the first step taken . The curtains of the windows were then carefully examined , and the vehicle containing this curious specimen of Eastern royalty was drawn up at the outer door . The anxiety of the eunuchs and attendants no > v became intense , an <] , although one or two attempts were made to force the spectators to retire , the British right of freedom predominated , and the Orientalists were
compelled to submit to the customs of the English people / A passage having been made from the entrance door to the carriage , over which a white covering was laid , long strips of calico were brought into requisition , and a row of native servants , having ranged themselves inside the line of spectators , held tlic drapery at arm ' s length above their heads , which effectively prevented the people assembled from gaining the most remote glimpse of her Majesty .- However , with all this caution , her Majesty did not enter the compartment entirely unperceived , for ono or two persons , availing themselves of the opportunity afforded , owing to the attention of the officials being directed to the importance of the proceeding , climbed to tho roof of tho royal carriage , and by that means witnessed the Queen ' s progress between the two linea of drapery placed to secure privacy . However , the gratification could not have been very great , as her Majesty was closely veiled "
, Tho Queen , the Princes , and their attendants , in all amounting to ono hundred and ten persons , havo taken Hnrley House , in tho New-road , as their town residence . It is a detached dwelling , with a small lawn in front , and some trees , and ia surrounded with a wall , rormcrly , it was tenanted by the Duk « of Brunswick .
