Retreating into the forecastle , and there shutting ! himself up , Veale cut his throat , after in vain Attempting to : hang himself . The vessel was . subsequently navigated into ; Quecostown by < the ship Isabella . Humours . mentioned in- the Code papers point to the 1 necessity for a . more searching inquiryiinto these tragedies . It is stated that Veale .-was known- on , previous voyages -. to . be a . nxost quiet and inoffensive . person , who never misconducted : himself ; and reports are in circulation , whether well or ill-founded , of treatment received by him which . woaild : afford a more natural explanation of Ms conduct , than it has hitherto received . fe

NAVAL , AND MILITARY * NEWS . The Duke of Cambridge , on Monday afternoon , delivered the Crimean medal to about thirty o £ the invalided aad wounded soldiers of the Scots Fusilier Guards at the Military Hospital , Vauxhall Bridge Road . The Camp at Aldebsiiott . —The Queen , accompanied by the King of the Belgians , tho . Count of Flanders , " Priuce Albert , the Prince of Wales , Prince Alfred , and the Duke of Cambridge , went 011 Tuesday to Aldershott , and reviewed the troops encamped there . . —General Knollys lias resigned the command at the camp for a more important one at the seat of war . His successor is not yet appointed .
A Disagreeable Occurrence . —The captain of one of the largest English steamers in the port of Marseilles has been removed from his command at the request of a French official . The reason assigned for so harsh a proceeding is that the captain on his last voyage to the East , having a large transport Laden with troops in tow , cast her off , and thus endangered the lives of a number of men . The captain says that , during a gale of wind and with a . heavy sea running , he was forced to cast off the transport , otherwise a collision would have inevitably taken place , and the safety of the two vessels would have been endangered . To this explanation , the official , wJio is not a naval man , briefly replied that several similar acts had lately taken place , and that it is necessary to make an example .
The late General Sirangways and Admiral Box-er . —We are quite sure every one of our readers will hear with satisfaction that the Queen has given apartments in Hampton Court to the widows of General Strafigways and Admiral Boxer . —Times .

CONTINENTAL NOTES . The insurrection-in' Catalonia appears to be assuming a serious character . It is a . rising of workmen , ostensibly for tho purpose of obtaining higher wages , bat having in fact much deeper and more widely extended objects . The movement is believed to have been fomented by Russia , with a view to a restoration of the Garlists in Spain and the Legitimists in France ; hut the workmen have issued a . manifesto , in which they declare-that they are determined to support Espartero , ajwi to put to death any Carlist . whomay exhibit himself . Tlu ; Captain-General of Barcelona , Zapatero , is shut up in the fort of Atarazaoas , and not in the citadel , as at fust reported . The National Guard , for tho present , continue faithful ; and a deputation has been sent to Madrid . Several flags have be « u taken from the revolted workmen : on one of those , tho ivords " Working Men ' s Association "
were inscribed . Many thousand French Socialist refugees form part of the population of Barcelona ; and it is very probable that they have aided hi tho present movement . A despatch from Madrid , dattHl July 10 th , sft ^ a : — " ¦ TJhe Catalonian deputation has applied to the Cortes for a bill to organise labour . Tin * Government refuses till the insurgents submit ; and it is determined to act ugalust the Carliats as well as ugaiusl th . o workmen . More troops have marched for Catulonwi . " Elio one of tho chiefs of the late Carlist insurrection in Spain , still reniaiaa in France , though many of tinother refugees luivo been expelled . The Emperor i * imaro of his presence , but refuses or omits to disturb him . Yet the KpaniMh Government but recently thanked the Emperor for the " loyal" niann « r in which he bn < l refuHori to allow tbc conspirators against Queen Isabella to shelter themselves ) on his territory .
Espartoro has withdrawn his resignation . Mr . lorry , Secretary of the American Legation at Mudriri , lta ^ received hia disniiu&ul . The rebeltt who stopped Lord Howden told him tlw \ v wore acting in defence , of tho King and of religion . .
