We are getting into a ghastly familiarity with cholera, which ought to make the philanthropist and our military admiialstraton and financiers think gravely of the past and present, and of the possible future, of that terrible 'limes" as regards the strength and efficiency of our European army in India. Her Majesty's 77th Regiment, at Allahabad, has just gone through, and, we hope, finished, its ordeal of I cholera for this year ; and although no serious alarm ap pears to have been caused by the visitation, and alljeesais to be taken pretty much ass matter of course, the fact is that fifty-two men and eighteen women and children, have perished by this terrible disease. The steamer Armenian, taken up for the oonveyance of yowl of bar Majesty's 43rd Light Infantry to New Zealand, will embark three hundred and fifty men of the regiment and eight officers, nadir the camoased of Major Colville, the junior major of the cops, the reminder following in the Antoci* Apar, under the command of Lieut.• Colonel Booth. The Armenian ma, we believe, easily he got away by Yee lasi sitiliaassali6 The Madras At says : There is so little to be said about the events of the peat fortnight that making up a summary of them le shawl as difficult a task as weaving a rope of rod, which, as the story runs, was one that baffled even diabolic ingenuity and perseverance. With the single exception of AffelaliiatilD, where matters appear to be approaching a crisis, all is out wardly tranquil in India at present, but the aspect of affairs there I. sombre enough, and the occasional ebullitions on our milers [rootlet., although of small importune in themselves, show that trouble for the British government in browns in that quarter. India is sending reinforcements to the small body of troops in New Zealand, where a fresh war has been forced on the Queen's government by the turbulent Maoris. Majesty's 69th Foot are immediately to be sent to that ereoy, and the 69th Regiment will consequently be detained in this presidency until next year, a necessity which is sorely felt by the officers and men of the corps, who were under orders for Europe, and lament their being kept at Madras merely for garrison duty, although they would have been happy to embark on active service ID New Zealand, had such been the will of the Governor-GeneraL CHINA. From Peking and the northern porta there is no news of importance, says the Overland China Mail; everything appears to be quiet at the different foreign settlements. Major Gordon continues to manoeuvre against the rebels. He ',said to have occupied an island in the Tat Hu Lske, while Dr. hisoartney has taken a place called Fuugchiug, uo doubt in pursuance of Gor don's plane. The place taken is a large city, and the drilled trays that captured it were never be fore under fire ; they are said to have behaved I well. The force under Burgevine has not again attacked the imperial troops. It is rumoured that they are to be led against Ningpo. Considerable anxiety and a secret desire for the success of the rebels exists even in what would be called respect able quarters here. Mr. Seward, the United States consul, protested against the offer, by the military mandarin at Shangbse, of a reward of 1,0001. for the person of Burgevine, " dead or alive," and demanded a with drawal of the proclamation. The other European consuls signed the protest. JAPAN. THE FIGHT AT KAGOSIMA. The Japan Herald gives the following account of the tight : All imps of any peaceful settlement being crushed, de. mit and subterfuge appearing to be the only aim, Oolonel Neale now 'topped aside, and Admiral Kuper took the matter in hand. On the afternoon of the 14th, there was a general shifting of the disposition of the fleet, the greater part of which were placed under the island, out of range of the guns on the fort in the middle of the channel, ear 1,700 yards on either ride. The Euryalus, although shifting, still ,remained within range, as did also the Perseus. On the morning of the 15th, the Pearl, Coquette, Argos, Havoc, and Racehorse, proceeded up the Bay, and took as hostages three steamers there at anchor—said to be the England, purchased by Satsuma in 1881, for 120,000 dole., the steamer George Grey (for 40,000 doh.), and the Contest, which cast him 65,000 dole. in May I.M. The locality of the anchorage of these vessels was snugly behind Point Wilmot. The weather, which had been stormy during the whole morning, now became worse; it was raining in torrents, and the wind blowing a hurricane round the Bay. At ten o'clock the above named vessels, English and Japanese, had returned, and at twelve the men were just piped to dinner, and nothing immediate expected, when suddenly, the bat tery on the main covering the Earyalos, and that on the island covering the Perseus, opened fire. The three hostage *tamers were forthwith fired (their crews having been pre. "'lonely sent ashore, and one of the head officers on board recognised as having belonged to the sta ff of the late am , bassador' to Europe, and another officer, at their own re quest having been taken on board the flagship, where they now remain). All the ships weighed and formed line of battle. The Perseus then engaged the battery that had been firing at her in beautiful style, as we are Informix], knocking her antagonist's guns over, one after the other, and when she had completed that, AS though she had been only getting he• hand in, she passed over to the other side, and engaged the battery on the opposite shore. All the batteries (10) were then eopged by the ships at point blank range, at from 400 to tOO yards respectively (the Euryalus Wag within 200 yards), commencing with the northernmost and passing down the entire line. About dusk the tows was fired in several parts by our shells, and three of the forte silenced. All the ships then returned to their anchorage, save the ,Rsoshorm, which had got ashore within 200 yards of the nearest battery, of which accident she availed herself in true British style to pour her metal into it until it was effectually silenced. The Argos was sent to bring her off, which she accomplished I titer about an hour's delay, during the whole of which time the was under fin from one of the other batteries. This was Saturday, the 13th, daring the whole of which day it had been raining and blowing fiercely. The loss on this day to us was 11 killed and 39 wounded. Amongst the former there will be general regret that we have to name Captain Josling of the fiagehip —an officer inteemed and respected by all who knew him; in ordinary times mild and gentle, but when the lion was aroused within him he was bold and daring; • true type of a British officer ; Commander Edward Wilmer (late of the Agamemoon) of whose character all speak io the like glowing tents, met a glorious death by the same shot ; both were standing on the bridge of the flagship about the middle of the engagement (3.30), when a shot pared through the boat and struck them both iostantane ously into eternity ; the admiral escaped death by tie name shot in a wonderful manner ; both be and the master were standing on the narrow bridge when the caring) fell. About V o'clock, the whole of one side of the town was biasing. The following day (Sunday), the weather cleared up, the dead (2 officers and 7 seamen) were con signed to their sailors' grave in Euryalus Bay, at 11 o'clock. and the fleet stood out, paring close to the batte ries os the bleed, which it armed the whole way. The destructiou accomplished by the fleet appears to hate been enormous. There can be no doubt that the whole city is now one mass of ruins, including the palace, the factories. and the arsenal sod warehouses; the batteries also bare been seriously damaged • not ore of them which had bean engaged during the firs t fired • shot on the second dry IS the fleet passed out. The three destroyed ships aloe* have cost Satsuma 245,00 C dole., upwards of half of which be repaid very recently. Serial large junks also were destroyed. The Japanese are said to have stood well to t i tstignes, so bong as the play was at long range, but somewhat takee aback whoa our ships mme to close quarters.

On t►e first day the tire was well kept up for sin hoard, but en hour and a half on the second day wee sullidest to put an end to the action. The form mounted 93 gum sad mortars and when we take into consideration amongst these were 10-inch guns and 13-inch mortars, and further, that the position of the ships was 450 yards from the torts, it seed sot surprise us when we are assured by *Moen who have gone through the Criroesii campaign that the float Sebastopol was nothing in compatison with what whet was pouted upon the fleet opposite Kagosime. _ . .. It is God's mercy, says the Daily ivess, that the whole fleet were not sunk. Satsuma had the best United States guns and ammunition and had re ceived full instructions how to use them. His bat teries were armed with 13. inch and B.inch shell I gnus—four 180 pounders, ten 80-pounders, and of the remainder, none were of smaller calibre than 32- unders. We suppose the wind and the rain the.46lisimaiiiiiitaik.at aloes quarters asneed confusion, for if one she ll caused such damage tothe La : Euryalua, what would 100 have done, and how all the rest came to miss her is to us marvellous. We regret to say that such victories as that of Keg's alma will not snit us. Gallantry is thrown away on these Orientals—the loss of life on our side is deplorable. Admiral Kuper has not half enough force. The fleet, says the Shanghae Shipping Lid, was on its way back to Yokohama. WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, Oor. 28, Emma. The Royal Mail Company's steamship Shannon, Captain Abbott, with the above mails, arrived at her woorings off Netley Hospital at 6 p.m. this evening. She brings 93 passengers , specie to the value of 354,3111. sterling, of which is gold bullion, 121,7971. ; gold coin, 120,1131. • silver bullion, 151,1101. ; silver coin, 65,3911. ; also pearls, value, 14341. ; and gold and silver alloy, 2,5651. Her cargo comprises 138 serous of cochineal, 12 morons of indigo, 244 cases of cigars, 130 bales of tobacco, 383 bales of bark, 149 bales of India rubber, 114 bales of °robins, 71 bags of cocoa, and 126 packages of sundries. On August 6 an expedition against Tampico sailed from Vera Crus. It arrived at and took possession of Tampico on the 11th. It was composed of some 1,200 troops and seven steamers. No resistance was offered. The Triumvirate had sent a notice to the foreign consuls in the city of Mexico that there was now a legal existing government in the country, and re questing them to recognise the Triumvirate as such. The rely of the ministers was that they would not recognise it until they received further instructions from their own governments. The Meier(' de los Ultima Sumo* in ifejico, of August 26, says TheFrenchpooupy Cuernavaca, Inlanciogo, Tlaxcala, and some ot►er points. The rainy season makes important military operations impossible, and the communication between the places occupied by the French and the rest of the republic is entirely cut off, and the whole commerce with the interior is paralysed." The latest intelligence (to the 2nd Sept.) brought from Mexico by the Shannon announces that affairs io that country were stationary. General Forey and the French Commissioner were about leaving for Europe. THE INSURRECTION IN SAN DOMINGO. SEVERE FIGHTING.-TERRIBLE SCENES. By the Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Shan non, which arrived at Southampton yesterday, we have iutethgenue from San Domingo giving details of the fierce struggle which, as we mentioned yes terday, was going on in that island between the Spaniards and the Dominicans. _ . _ . By the schooner Rapid, with 84 refugees from Porto Plata, we have dates to the 18th Septem ber. The 2,000 Spanish troops that left on the 3rd for Santiago, under the command of General Suero, were followed on the 10th by another tbros of 1,600, but both divisions have been defeated. The latter, on reaching Perez, a place about 18 miles from Porto Plata, were attacked by the Dominicans, and obliged to retire with the loss of several killed and many wounded. They returned to Porto Plata at midnight, which caused the greatest uneasiness among the people, as everybody fancied that the rebels had entered the town. The men under Suero succeeded io entering Santiago, and in uniting with the garrison commanded by Brigadier General Buoete, who had managed to retain the fort. But Santiago having been burnt by the rebels, and there being a dearth of provisions, the Spaniards were soon compelled to capitulate to • force of 15,003 Dominicans. The terms of the capitulation were that the Spaniards should give up the fort to the Dominicans, on condition of their permit ting them to retreat to Porto Plata unmolested. The Dominicans, however, did not respect these stipulations, for the Spaniards had no sooner left the fort and began their march to Porto Plata, followed by • large number of the inhabitants of Santiago, than the Dominicans pursued them, firing upon them with deadly effect. The Spanish losses are over 1,000 in killed and wounded. Many of the inhabitants of Santiago who Lad sided with the Spaniards were also killed during the burning of the town, and many more, including women and children, were slain during the retreat of the troops to Porto Plata. The atrocities committed on both sides were horrible, and are said to have been an bad be those committed during the Sepoy rebellion in India. The town of San Carley, in the neighbourhood of San Domingo city, is said also to have been burnt by the rebels, and it is believed that Porto Plata will share a similar fate. Many of the town's people, and some who hive bad no share in the rebellion, except as sufferers, have been arrested and imprisoned by the Spaniards ; others are denouncing their friends, hoping that they will thereby shield themselvea. Bands of soldiers armed with Mini 4 rifles, and pro ficient in rapine and lust, are daily roving through the streets, breaking into hoaxes, and destroying their contents ; and it is said that these unlawful and pernicious deeds are sanctioned by Spanish officers, who, influenced neither by humanity as a sentiment nor humanity as a policy, have elides , voured to throw around such iniquitous proceedings the forms of martial law. The following additional important late intelli gence from San Domingo bas been brought by the Shannon : "The San Dotningorevolution hasbeen successful in the district of Cibao. Santiago Liu been burnt. " In the south the rebels have been defeated." ROYAL AOILICOLTVILAL SOCUITY. —An influential omen eg, presided our by the Mayor, was held I.

All the candidate. of the Fortschritt party in Berlin have been returned by a large majority. The telegrams received up to the present from the provinces indicate a most decided triumph for the united liberal party. Prominent among the newly elected representatives are Herr Johann Jacoby and Professor Mumsen. Herr Georg von Vincke has failed to obtain re-election by his former constituency. As regards the conservatives, the returns indicate that they are rather more strongly represented than at the last elections. The principal conservatives elected up to the present are—the Minister of War, Herr von Roon, Herrn Gottberg, Brankenburg, Schulrath, Wantrup, and Von Elsner. POLAND. WARSAW. Ocr. 28.

The Opinion Nationale of this evening asserts that despatches have been received from Japan representing that the English have made some attacks on the Japanese, which were unsuccessful. The vessels destroyed some barques, but the forts maintained their fire to the hut. " The English," says the Opinion Nationale, were obliged to with draw, without bevies obtained the required satis faction. The Japanese displayed great courage and perfect discipline, and absolutely refused to pay the indemnity." The Opinion Nationale also states that a serious state of things prevails in Syria, and says : " Twenty thousand Arabs have revolted in the Eaurran. The English ha►e recommenced their intrigues, and patronise the Greek catholic candi date for the position held by Daoud Elam." The Nation of this evening publishes, "under reserve," the news that the French army would shortly evacuate the Pontifical. States, only leaving a garrison at Clefts, Vecchia, and that Spain would send 10,000 men to Rome. "The journey of the Empress to Madrid," continues the Nation, " is stated to be not unconnected with this combination.' MR. ONSLOW, M.P., ON THE ANZILICAN WAIL Yr.

It remains for us to glanoe at some of the more prominent of the working men's clubs established in the provinces. We shall find, as a rule, that these institutions in rural districts are very much under the control of the clergy and local gentry, with whom they gene rally originate, and that consequently their mode of government is more despotic than we fiod in Lon don and other large towns. A club was established in 1855, nt Littlemore, near Oxford, by the Rev. O. W. Huntingford, of which that gentleman, writing in 1859, said that the constitution was "oligarchical, with a dash of despotism," adding : "The committee meet at my house on the first Mon day evening of every month, and we administer the affairs of the club according to our supreme dis cretion." This committee consisted of working men, but they were nominated by the reverend gentleman, who doubtless was the leading spirit We are not saying this in detraction. In a small etentry village or township, where the humbler orders have little education, and consequently no self-reliance or power of organisation, the guidance of • cultured and sympathetic gentleman is doubt less a great assistance. But in larger towns, where the working classes are not devoid of an intelligent knowledge of their own waste and of the way to MOOS them, we should be sorry to see too great an intrusion of the clerical element, or of anything which might seem like the patronage of gentlefolks. That working men can manage such things success fully for themselves is strikingly shown by the example of the Wednesbury Club. A committee of gentlemen was formed there last January for starting a ball for artisans and labouring men. Some months passed, and the thing hung fire. At length the working-men took the mat ter into their own handa, rented a house, canvassed for members, contributed books, papers, games, aud personal labour, and set the club going merrily. They have, indeed, succeeded so well as to disprove a dictum of the Working Men's Club' and Institute Union, to the effect that such under takings cannot be self-snpportiag at the outset. The Wednesbury Club pays its way Already with out any extraneous assistance. This is what we want to see in the metropolis, and in all towns Where mechanics are to be found with sufficient in telligence aud command of means to act for them selves. While cordially recognising the benevolence ' and admirable intentions of the gentlemen, lay and clerical, who have helped to establish many of these associations, we are nevertheless desirous of seeing the working classes providing for their own wants by their own energy. The bringing together of men of humble education and their so oial superiors is doubtless a good thing for both, but this might be effected in the educational classes, and on the occasion of those social gatherings which the clubs are partially designed to promote, leaving the management in the hands of the artisans themselves. We are bound in fairness, however, to acknowledge that at, Leeds the committee of working men did not har monise among themselves, and it has been found necessary to replace that form of government by despotism administered by the founder, Mr. Darn ton Lupton. It is to be hoped that this is an exceptional instance ; and the success of the Wednesbury Club, as far as a judgment can be formed after so short a trial, seems to prove that it is so. • Wednesbury is a small town in Staffordshire, about equidistant from Birmingham, Wolverhamp ton, Walsall, and Dudley. Thu inhabitants, who are chiefly employed in the manufacture of iron, have had a mechanics' institute for some years ; and to this is now added the club which has re cently been set on foot. The house is open daily (Sundays excepted), from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. The su. iptious are 2d. weekly, 2s. quar terly, and honorary members one guinea yearly. The club was opened on the 30th of May, with 100 members, and at the close of the first quarter 315 were on the books, showing a weekly average of 178 subscribers. Since the change of premises (early in the present month), 142 additional members have joined. The average number present at any given time in the evening is 55, viz., 15 in the reading room and 40 iu the amusement rooms; but the library is frequently crowded. Of newspapers, five daily and seventeen weekly are taken, together with eight miscellaneous periodicals. The library consists of about 200 volumes, and the number is augmenting every week. It originated in the con tributions of members, but has since been enlarged by purchase. At present a great many of the volumes are novels and works of light reading; but it is thought that, with a larger proportion of books of a more solid kind, the issues (which have already, in a period of two months, reached 446) would prove to be much more extensive. Members are admis sible at fourteen ; bat this is thought too low an age for any but educational purposes. Men do not like consotting with boys, and boys sometimes become precocious men by being brought too much into the society of their elders. Classes will soon be opened, and refreshments have receutly been supplied in the club rooms. A chess club has been established, and prizes will be given to the best players. Besides chess, the members play at baga telle, draughts, dominoes, and solitaire. One very interesting and gratifying result of these games has been not ed . Many members who originally juiued the club purely for the sake of pastime have been gradually drawn to the library • so that mere amusement has unoonsciously acted as the hand maiden of instruction. The more easy games, too, have in several instances led up to the more severe and intellectual, such as chess. The thoroughly popular government of the club has doubtless tended greatly to its mimosa. The committee (24 in number), the secretary, treasurer, librarian, and auditors, are all working men. A continual =vase goes on for members, and sub scriptions are collected by regularly chosen officers at the factories every Monday morning. The club was commenced in a private house, but this was I found to be too small, and several poisons left because of the overcrowding. The old Town-hall is now rented at 451. a year for eighteen mouths. Ten of the committee are the responsible tenants, each being held answerable for a tenth of the rent, and ten others divide with them these tenth shares into twentieths. Wednesbury has set au admirable example to the working men of other towns, and its prosperity is amply merited. The club at Leeds, which we have already de scribed as despotic in its government, was esta blished in June, 1861, and commenced with about fifty members. For nine months the institution steadily progressed, until the number of members averaged 1,700, as many as the rooms can at one time accommodate. Since May, 1862, members vary week by week from 1,500 to 2,000, occasionally reaching 3,500 for a taking concert. The present number of members is 1,900. Attendance is varia ble, being influenced by amusements, &c. Usually each evening there are 200 chess and draught players, 300 or 400 readers, and from 800 to 1,200 in the lecture-hall. Innocent recreation, rather than instruction, is aimed at ; but there are reading, writing, arithmetic, and natural history chuwea. The library counts 300 volumes, including biogra phy, history, travels, and novels. None of these are circulated out of the building. Tea, ooffee, ka, am supplied at coat price ; and chops and steaks can be cooked for members at a half penny each. In fine weather during the rummer months the amusements include cricket, foot ball, aunt sally, quoits, brasses, leaping with the pole, and the maypole. Every Thursday a first-class lecture is given ; on other evenings the institute brass band of 16 instruments plays. On Wednesday evenings a " free and easy " is held. This is popular, attracting geserally 1,200 to 1,300 members. Occasional concerts and amateur dnunatic perform ances vary thevother amusements. The Una' of inembuship are—weekly, Id. ; quarterly, le. [TWOPENCE Owing to the liberality of Mr. Darnton Lupton all deficiencies are made up and, consequently, the society is out of debt. During the six winter months a special service for working men takes place every Sunday in the lecture-ball at three in the afternoon, and is usually attended by from 600 to 800 working men, many of whom never attend any regular place of worship. The preachers are freely supplied by the established church, Wesleyan Methodists, Independents„ Unitarians and Baptists. These services are said to have been attended 'with the very happiest results, numerous cases of recla mation of character having come to Mr. Lupton's knowledge. '• The paid attendants," writes that gentleman " are well paid. It saves me trouble. I am out of pocket ; but, from my experience, and with great economy, and not too many amusements, the penny subscrip tion would about pay the actual necessary cost, if the rooms are given. Altogether, no mouey can be better spent, and it is within the power of most men of business to do all that I sin called on to provide. I believe our institute has been the most successful in the empire. We are free from debt, have no disturbing elements, and all seem satisfied." To this club is attached a boys' branch, of which the members are under 17 years of age. The numbers vary from 200 to 300. All are working lads ; they come as soon u their work is over get a good wash, and have their hair cat. Theattaations consist of draughts and chess. There are reading, writing, and arithmetic classes, and singing is very popular, all joining in the chorus. In summer out door games are provided, as in the men's club ; and on Saturdays the boys occasionally go to Mr. Lupton's house in the country, and have milk and buns. The effect of these institutions in promoting temperanoe, even when they do not attempt any positive teetotal propagandiam, is shown by the fact that, immediately after the opening of the Birmingham Central Working Men's Club, a de bating society requested and obtained permission to remove from a public-house to a room in the club, on condition of the members joining the institute altogether. From Scarborough Mr. Tugwell, the promoter of the club in that town, writes to the secretary of the Working Men's Club and Institute I Union :—" I have examined the books of the police-office, and find that, from the time our club was opened, on the 28th of February, up to the 9th of April, there has been but one case of 'drunk and disorderly ;' while before that time scarcely a day passed without one or more, and during the corresponding period in last year there were no lees than twenty-six cases." At Southampton it has been found that the skittle-alley of the club is thronged every evening, while those of the adjacent public-houses are almost deserted. With respect to the various classes of workmen attending this last-named hall, Mr. W. C. Westlake, of South ampton, gives some curious particulars in a paper read at the annual meeting of Friends' Temperance Union ou the 27th of last May. He mays :—" On analysing the first 700 who enrolled, we found me-fourth, or 172, of them to oonsist of labourers, hawkers, porters, Arc. ; 109 bricklayers, carpenters, masons, kc ; 103 boiler-makers and smiths ; 61 shoemakers, currier', &c. ; U seamen and engineers ; 99 painters, mechanics, ; 26 tailors, and the remainder shopmen, agents, &to. This record shows that we have really reached the class we intended, and that it is, in fact, a frater nity of labouring men." We cannot conclude our survey of these institutes without expressing a hope that they may spread and prosper, and reiterating a strong dadre that they may, wherever practicable, be taken in hand by working men themselves, so that they may be established on bases the most broad and deep, with out reference to sectional views, or to any other objects than convenience, good fellowship, mental instruction, and moral improvement. Tax BZRICELZT Houma.—The Berkeley hounds met yesterday at the Hands, on the Glourestet-road. Colonel Berkeley, our respected member, with Captain Samosa and Colonel Nigel Kinsmen, accompanied them— while at least 130 of the best men of Cheltenham turned out to meet them. The Gloucester division mustered well, and with the assistance of the neighbouring farmers and gentry, there gathered a held of upwards of 300. A Mese fog prevailed until 12 o'clock, when the mist began to die. perm, and the hounds were thrown into Badgworth-wood. A fox was soon found. and broke away at caeca He went straight for Crickley-hill, affording the field, some very pretty vale riding, but giving them the slip among the quarries, the coked, in order to show as much sport as he could, took the bounds hack to Bedgwerth, where another fox was moved directly, and went away without much delay for Chosen.
