There" has | always been a very small turn-op of this uult and Major Carrington is acting with a great deal of forethought in trying to make the Field Battery Ganners efficient with the Maxim Gon to meet all emergentes.

An American seaman lately discharged from a ship that selved here from New York last month, called at this office on Thursday with a written statement in which he made serious allegations against one of the officers for brutal treatment during the voyage. We suggested that he should see his Consul, but he seemed inclined to pooh-pooh the suggestion and said he much wanted to have his statement printed in the paper. As the charges were of a serions nature, a Telegraph reporter Interviewed the American Consul on the subject. Colonel Hant said that when the man was paid off at the Consulate ho did not after one word of complitat against anyone. If there had really been any grounds for the statement handed us it is hardly likely that the opportunity would have been lost for bringing them before the Consul. The American, shipping law is very liberal as regards sallors and Colonel Hunt is not the kind of man to neglect making the fallest enquiry into all cases brought before him.
