ARDENT AND INPRISONNICNT OP Till POPS'S CHAMEIEKLAINB.—ROIIII, JULY 7.—The fiat and second chamberlains of the Apostolic Palace, the Very Rev. Girelamo Gigli and Father CanieUi, have been arrested and confined in the prisons of the Inquisition for having secretly published in Nome a memorandum justifying the conduct of Cardinal d'Andres. This memorandum was largely distributed among the bishops and clergy pre sent at the centenary festival. The printer was speedily discovered, but he alleged in justification the formal order he had received from the first chamberlain. Nevertheless it has not yet been made clear whether the second cham berlain may not have surreptitiously used the name and authority of his chief for his own purposes. In addition to this matter the second chamberlain will have to answer the charg e of complicity in certain political intrigues against the Pontifical government, documents of a oom promising nature having been found at the Quirinal as well as at his private resideace.—Brufer's Express. The Sultan of Turkey arrived in London yester day afternoon, and met with a reception which, if not wildly enthusiastic, was at all events hearty and cordial. The roads through which ho passed on his way from the railway station to Bucking ham Palace, more especially the Mall in St. James's-park, were crowded with people, and although theircheers and acclamations had no power to disturb the habitual placidity of the onental potentate, they must have been sufficient to convince him that the friendly feelings exhibited towards him by the Sovereign and the government are fully shared by the inhabitants of the metropolis. The preparations which had been made in the Charing-crosa station, although sufficient, were by no means elaborate. Our metropolitan sta tions do not very readily lend themselves to ornamentation; but enough had been accomplished yesterday to give our imperial visitor a foretaste of the consideration with which he islikely to be treated throughout his stay in this country. The western a-rival platform, at which the train bearing the royal travellers was to draw up, was covered with crimson cloth, and the lampposts were tastefully wreathed with flowers and ever greens. At the end nearest the hotel the plat form had been separated from the rest of the enclosure of the station by a solid barrier, which on the outer side was a mere mass of dead cold timber, but within presented the appearance of a thickly planted hedge of evergreens, through which an infinite variety of wild flowers forced their way to do honour to the monarch of the East. At the entrance to the station from Hungerford-bridge, and in the space ordinarily allotted to cabs and carriages attending the arrival of trains, there had been erected two platforms of a somewhat box like character, which were early occupied, princi pally by ladies, whose beautiful dresses re lieved the monotony of the scarlet and crimson cloth with which the structures were covered, and contrasted boldly and effectively with the many coloured flags and banners which surrounded them, and concealed the ordinarily bare or ad vertisement clad walls of this part of the station. We need hardly say that the Turkish flag was pro minent in more situations than one, but the colours of all nations appeared to have been enlisted in the service of the decorator, and easily distinguishable among them was the flag of Belgium, whose civic soldiers divided with the Sultan the honours of the day. Undoubtedly the most effective part of the decorations was that upon the station front of the hotel. The balcony which runs across the whole length of she building wax covered with crimson cloth, which was half concealed by small festoons of flowers and leaves, the loop of each festoon embracing a small escutcheon, upon which the crescent and star in white shone upon a green ground. The windows of the dining saloon were draped with red cloth, and each window was adorned with a sort of cornice of ever greens and flowers. Above the exit arch was displayed the green banner of the Prophet bearing an inscription in Arabic, and on either side were trophies composed of the flags of all nations, in which the crosses of more than ono Christian country were blended with the crescent of the Mus 'outman. The platform upon which the illustrious travellers were to alight was guarded by a railing hung with scarlet cloth, and ornamented with ever greens and white lilies, and the carriage way was strewn with yellow sand. In this roadway were drawn up, soon after two o'clock, some half dozen of the royal carriages, with the coach men end footmen in state liveries ; and one side of it was lined by a guard of honour of the Grenadier Guards and the band of the Coldstreams, which at intervals discoursed most excellent music. In addition to the plat forms which had been provided for spectators the roofs of several rows of carriages were covered with eager gazers, and not one of the windows of the hotel or refreshment-rooms which looked upon the platforms wm without its occupants. The guard of honour was under the command of Colonel Dudley Carleton, and a troop of the Blues,which was drawn upoutside the station, under that of Colonel Williams. Sir It. Mayne and the two other Commissioners of Police, Captains Labalmondiere and Harris, were in attendance ; and among the officers of the household of her Majesty and the Prince of Wales who were present to receive the illustrious guests wore the Duke of Beaufort, Masterof the Horse ; Viscount Hamilton, officiating as Groom of the Stole ; and the Hon. Chas. Wood. Precisely at a quarter before three o'clock the royal train ran into the station, and although at that moment not a glimpse could be caught of the Sultan, it was greeted with loud cheering on the part of the gentlemen and the waving of handker chiefs and parasols by the ladies. As soon as the train was stopped the Prince of Wales stepped upon the platform, and was immediately followed by the Sultan, who was at once recognised, and whose appearance was the signal for a renewed out burst of applause. Then came the Duke of Cam bridge and the Viceroy of Egypt, and imme diately afterwards the suites of the two illustrious visitors alighting, some actively, some with more of oriental deliberation, from their car riages became mixed together in apparent confu sion upon the platform. The Prince of Wales was in the uniform of a general, and wore across his breast the broad green ribbon of the Medjidie. The Sultan is exceedingly like the photographic portraits which have during the last few days been exhibited in our shop windows. In stature he is below rather than above the middle height. In figure ho is portly, but not heavy; and although his countenance, the lower part of which is shrouded by a dark curly beard and moustache, is somewhat want ing in expression, the idea which it suggests is rather that of indolence or indifference than of want of intelligence or incapacity to be interested. His im perial highness wore a dark blue surtout, richly embroidered with bullion lace upon the chest and half way up the sleeves. His headdress was a plain red fez, and by his side he wore a scimetar, the scabbard of which was of shsgreen. Like the Prince of Wales he wore the ribbon of the Med jidie, and the breast of his surtout was, in addition to its embroidery, decorated with the stars of that and other orders of knighthood. The Viceroy of Fpt is shorter, stouter, and darker, than the Sultan ; but his glance is much quicker and brighter, and the expression of his face is more European in its character than is that of the Ottoman emperor. His highness's costume was similar to that of his suzerain, but its embroidery was less rich, and more of the plain cloth was dis cernible in the intervals of its ornamentation. The Sultan was accompanied by Yousaouf Izzedin Effendi, his eldest son, and his two nephews, Hamid Effendi and Murad Effendi, who also wore the customary blue surtout, with more or less em broidery, and the red fez. His imperial Majesty's suite consists of no less than fifty-nine persons, and includes the following dignitaries : His Highness Fuad Pacha, Minister of Foreign Affairs ; his Excellency Kiamil Bey, Grand Master of the Ceremonies ; his Excellency Arify Bey, First Interpreter ; Alifuad Bey, Private Secretary to the Minister. Imperial Household— His Excellency Djemil Bey, First Chamberlain ; Emin Bey, First Secretary ; Halid Bey, Second Chamberlain ; Hairoullah Effendi, First Almoner, with five other officers of State. Military Staff— Rasaim Pacha, Admiral ; Marco Pacha, Principal Physician Reouf Pacha, Brigadier General, First Aid e-de-Camp ' Riza Bey, Colonel Aide de-Camp ; Hazif Bey, Colonel ; Salyh Bey, Lieutenant-Colonel, Aide-de-Camp, with five other officers of State. Household Ahmed Bey, Master of the Wardrobe ; Hall Effendi, Hus sein Bey, Halil Aga, Said Bey, Edib Effendi, with twenty-six other officers. These officials include among their number representatives of many, if not all, the races which are or have been subject to the dominion o f th e Sublime Porte, and as they stood grouped together upon the platform their several nationalities were clearly indicated by the expression of their countenances and their various costumes. Here were to be seen the keen, clear features and the handsome uniform of an lonian • and there the haughty figure and the lofty caftan of a Circassian. The figure which among all attracted the most attention was that of ' Hairoullah Effendi, his Majesty's chief almoner, who wore an extensive cloak and turban, and the green colour of which garments suggested to those I who pretended to some acquaintance with the East that he had either performed the pilgrimage to Mecca or was a descendant of the Prophet. From the respect shown to him by all his companions it was clear that he was a man of importance, and ' not to be confounded with the ordin ar y attendants upon the Sultan. The train stopped a short distance from the place where the royal carriages were drawn up, and his Imperial Highness had to walk some little way before reaching the vehicle which had been pre pared for him. As he passed up the platform he had the Prince of Wales on his right hand, while the Duke of Cambridge was immediately behind with one of the great dignitaries. The Viceroy, who was accompanied by the members of his own subs, remained a short distance behind. The bearing of the Sultan, although not without dignity, was somewhat listless, and he appeared to pay little attention to, or derive but slight gratifi cation from, what was going on. As he moved a'owly along he was loudly cheered both by the privileged individuals who had been admitted into the specially appropriated part of the station, and by many others who, without any authority at all, had taken possession of the roofs of carriages and other points of vantage from which they might witness his arrival. In response to these acclamations he repeatedly waved his right hand with a not ungraceful motion, but although he two or three times ele vated it towards his head, it never reached his fez. After a short delay ho entered the carriage appropriated to his reception, and was followed by the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge. The principal members of the suite were distributed in the other vehicles, and the cortege drove off accompanied by an escort of the Blues, the troops saluting, the band playing, and the spectators cheer ing. As soon as the carriagewhich contained his Im perial Highness passed from under the archway into the courtyard of the station it was received with a hearty cheer, and similar expressions of wel come accompanied the of the illustrious visitor all the way to gru:g is ham Palace. The route pursued was by Charing-cross, Whitehall, through the Horse Guards, and along the centre of the Mall. The whole way was lined with crowds of people, and at every point the Sultan was greeted with the heartiest manifestations of public admiration and welcome. At Buckingham Palace he was received by some of the great officers of the household, and was immediately conducted to the apartments which had been prepared for his re ception. This morning the Sultan will visit her Majesty at Windsor Castle, and will remain to luncheon. During his short stay he will occupy the apartments recently appropriated to the use of the Queen of Prussia in the York and Lancaster Tower. He will lunch with the Queen, and will leave the Castle on his return to town at 2 o'clock. In the veiling his Imperial Highness will be entertained by the Prince of Wales at Marlborough-house. On Monday night he will visit in state the Royal Italian Opera-house • and on Tuesday the Crystal Palace. On Wedne sday, he is expected to be at the naval review at Portsmouth. On Thursday he will be entertained in the City, and on Friday at the India-office. The train which brought his Majesty to town yesterday was accompanied by Mr. E. Watkin, M.P., chairman of the South Eastern Railway Company ; Mr. Eborall, the general manager ; Mr. Knight, the traffic superintendent, and other principal officials of the line. THE BELGIAN RIFLEMEN. A fete was given at the gardens of the Horticul tural Society, South Kensington, last evening, when a large number of Belgians, and a larger number of English ladies and gentlemen, prome naded, but without the accompaniment of music. The Belgian band that was expected did not arrive. After dark them was a conversazione in the museum. It was largely attended, and the arrivals were watched by dense throngs outside. The fine bands of the Royal Engineers and Royal Artillery were present, playing alternately a long and peculiarly choice selection of music. The pro gramme also included half•adozen part-songs, and the entertainment concluded with the Belgian and national anthems. To-day the Belgians go to Wimbledon. ROYAL AORICOLTURAL Socinrv.—Yesterday the trial of implements was again proceeded with at the meet ing of this society at Bury St. Edmund's. The attend ance was, as usual, during the trial of implementa, not very numerous. The weather was again very hot; and when it is remembered that the sheds would, if stretched out, extend over four miles, the labour of going through them will be readily appreciated. At the same time there is much to interest, and • great deal that is novel. In fact the meeting exhibits the results of the in ventive efforts of the last two years, the society not having held any exhibition in 1866. Messrs. Bur- I gess and Keyj exhibit some improved reaping machines, in connexion with which the improvements claimed are, great reduction of the weight and bulk of the machine and draught to the horse*, great reduction of friction and wear of parts, greater simplicity, and greater compactness, the cut being 5 feet 3 inches, although the machine will pass through an 8 feet 6 inch gate. The {Mlle firm exhibit • reaping machine with hack self-deli very ; this machine delivers corn in sheaves at the back, and will average about 1 j acre per hour, and Is intended as • substitute for the band delivery reaper, used in the north of England and Scotland. Messrs. Howard, of Bed. ford, exhibit steam cultivating machinery on • new system ; the price of the apparatus is 1,550/., sod it comprises • pair of 14-horse self-propel. I ling engines, each fitted with tin winding drums drawing the cultivators simultaneously to and fro I between them. The apparatus is represented • speculiarly adapted for large farms and the vast plains of foreign countries ; each engine is also available for use on the stationary principle. The same firm exhibit an Anglo- American plough, intended especially :or deep work ; an iron turnwreat plough, intended to turn land all in one direction • double action haymakers, he. Messrs. J. Fowler and Co., of Leeds, exhibit several seta of their steam trultivatMg machinery, the prices ranging from 778/. to 1,2981. Messrs. R. Hornsley and Sons, Grantham, show • new " Paragon" mower. Only a few of the horses, pigs, Sic., had arrived yesterday, but they will be in their Macs on Monday, when the serious huuness of the meet ing will commence. THE MANAORKINT OF OUR MILITARY AFFAIRS.— The 25th Regiment arrived here about two years ago in the beginning of July, that is in the hottest season of the year, unprovided with summer clothing, and bad to march to their quarters on disembarkation in thick winter tunics and black trowsers. The consequence wee that in a very short time they had some hundred men on the sick list, and many were struck down with cholera and other diseases. They are nowleaving for Canada, having been just supplied with the usual light summer clothing suitable for hot climates, and this although their departure was decided upon several months ago by the military authorities at home. It was also known months ago that the 31st were to leave Ireland for Malta in the height of summer, and yet such is the lack of forethought or consideration on the part of those who direct military affairs, that we see again a regiment disembarking here at the end of June totally unprovided with a suitable dress and after • long sea passage having to march in a mid-day sun a distance of four or five miles to their quarters. Surely it is not sur prising there should be diSculty in obtaining recruits for the army when so little care is taken for the comfort and health of the men.—hallo Times, June 27. Severe thunderstorms are reported front Saddle worth, Oldham, and Accrington. A girl who WI wolki°l along the road at Shaver was killed by the lightoing, an d a companion was severely injured. At Accrington an old man sustained • severe shock, and his hat was torn to rib ' bons. In Oldham greet damage was ganged by the rain, which flooded the athirst. live others also ran.

The racing, inmertheleas, was not of sufficient importance to occupy ranch space for comment ing upon, as with hones running about all over the country just at present nothing very grand could be expected to put in an appearance here. Consequently, with the details before him (to he found below), the reader will be quite able to form his own opinion on the results of the various events, if indeed they have any bearing whatever upon any future coneideration.

Efolt v. lfAlltOW.—Dnrtog the entire cricket season there is no match either on Lor i'd or any other grouted which creates a tithe of the Interest which does the annual tourney between the representatives of the above thawbououred nurseries of classic lore and of muscular Christianity. The " Cricketer's Pocket Hook" informs us that the first contest between Eton and Harrow took place as far back as 1805, when Lord's Ground or. cupled the site on which thersetaquare now stands There are no records of matches between the above date and 1816, when the match was played on the present ground; there was another break of three year), but from lett to 1828 the contest was animal. In 1819, 1830, and 1831 there were no matches; but thenceforward until the present time, with the exception of 1356, the " Eton and Harrow" has been played, and gradually in. creased In popularity with the London public until the present time. The match and its "belongings" present a scene to be Witnessed alone in England, and which must be seen to 're thoroughly appreciated, as any description, however graphic, must fall infinitely abort of the reality. The weather was lbw and warm, but without sunthine, which detracted in some measure from the hruhiaacy of the scene. The ground had a double cordon of ropes, about four yards apart, stretched all round it for the protection of pedestrians, and th is, before ton o'clock, was completely flanked with carriage... three or four deep, many of them snoring so early as 6 • m., the hones being removed to economise space. As the day advanced a brilliant and fashion able crowd assembled, ten or twelve deep all round the circle, The grand stand was tilled to repletion with a brilliant company, the pavilion was also densely crowded, and every available inch of room was occupied by an eager and admiring crowd, half of whom appeared to be Indies, gaily attired, and for the most part sporting either the light or dark blue. Special pains had been taken with the wickets, and we are happy to be able to say that they " played well" throughout the day. Harrow lost the valuable aid of Mr. Smith, who unfortunately met with an accident a few days back, and Eton, having won the LW, sent in Higgins and Hay, to the bowling of Pelham and Money (the fanner from the Pavilion oval. At five minutes before 1i Pelham delivered the first over is maiden) to Iliggins. The very first ball th slow) of Money's clean bowled ilay,79 which there was a hearty dark blue cheer-1 for 8. Thornton was in first wicket down, and soon gave evidence of being in fine hitting form. He was I adly missed by Fryer at point, when he had made only a single, and, as per usual, after this reprieve, he went to work in earnest. Pelham, after bowling four oven, and being hit into the Pavilion for four, gave way to Fryer, and runs cisme at • great pace, so fast, Indeed, that at the end of half an hour 0n were telegraphed. This produced another change, Graham's medium pee vice Money's slows, when the score stood at 51. iliggin• displayed very steady defence, while his partner did the hitting to all parts of the ground. Thornton, when he bad put together $5, including one four, and eight threes !it was three under the ropes all round, and four when hit over, or Into the Pavilion), two for St Mai way followed, and at 81 Money resumed the bolding. Higgins now came to grief, being well caught at the wicket by Chetwynd —three for tit Alexander faced Ottawry, and at the expiration of an boor 70 were telegraphed. With the score at 75, the "slows" were discontinued, and it was evident Wells had very wisely tutored his pupils to play them atter his own fashion. In Graham's third over °lawny had to retire, a "breakback" carrying away his leg stamp—four for SO. Fryer's bowling hereabouts was very good—to wit, le overs for three singles. When the score bad been raised to 91, Money again set his field for slows. Alexander was let off at the wicket Law tried an over Iron the Pavilion end at 99, but Smitten hit him very finely to leg for three. The elevation of 100 eliminated a hearty cheer from all emergent At 115159*We= relieved Money, who changed soda, and at 128 lindow went on with round arm slows, vice Mosey, and the mid made a somewhat more reetable appearance, Palmer again hiring to ysourer with 37, w hich Included fur fours and six two. Payne gut 25, and Mr. Norton and Carroll each 20 but the total only reached 159, which left then, still 115 In armor, and so Surrey became the winners of this match. The wickets in Kent's second Innings feU in the following order, viz., one for 23, two and three for 26, four for 43, five for 73, ids for 05, seven for 101, eight for 145, nine for 155, and ten for 10 THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION. WIMBLEDON COMMON, FRIDAY Evzstxo. The following camp orders wage this morning issued with respect to the visit of the Belgian volunteer by Colonel Colville, the colonel-commandant of the camp:— " Regimental Camp, Wimbledon, July 12. The detach ments in the regimental camp, with the exception of the Ist Middlesex Artillery and the let Surrey Rifle Volun teers, will furnish the guard of honour, consisting of one field-officer, one captain, three su balterns, and 120 rank and file, on the occasion of the arrival of the Bel ;lens in the camp to-morrow (this day). The detail will be as follows :—Field-offioer in com mand, Lt.-Colonel Lord Elcho ; Captain Vacber, Queen's Westminster., 15th Middlesex ; Lieutenant Cox, 2nd Middlesex ; Lieutenant Baggallay, and Ensign W. H. Hughes, 19th Middlesex. Sergeants to be furnished by the following corps : Victoria Rifles, South Middlesex, Second Administrative Battalion Middlesex, St. George's, and London Scottish. (tee sergeant from each detachment in camp (with the exception of lit Middlesex Artillery). The Ist Surrey will detail 10 rank and file, in full dress, with arms and accoutrements. The different detachments will be placed in the ranks a'sording to the colour of their uniforms. The lat Middlesex (Victoria') will furnish the band. The parade will be formed on the ground in front of the regimental camp at noon. The guard will be marched off so as to arrive at the Wimbledon en trance at 1 - p.m. The battery of the lit Mid dlesex Artillery will fire • salute of three salvor on the same occasion. It will be marched from its camp so as to arrive at the Wimbledon entrance at 1 p.m., when the o ffi cer in command will report himself to Lord Eleho. The lit Surrey will, under instructions pre viously received, march out of camp to furnish the guard of honour at the Wimbledon station. The commanding officer will report the hour at which he marches off to the lieutenant-colonel commanding in A subject has arisen to-day - that Lai given rise to much discussion and no little unpleasantness with respect to the Alexandra Prize competition at 1100 yards. After the last shooting for this pnze had taken place, it was discovered that the men had been allowed to shoot at a target of • larger size than was recognised by the regulations. The shooting had taken place under the antbonty of the Asso ciation and under the superintendence of officers pro perly appointed, and when • protest was made against what had been done by those making low scores, a suggestion made that the prizes at this lunge should be shot for again was resisted by those who hail got a position, they contending that they ought not to be called upon to shoot again. A meeting on the subject was held this afternoon in front of the Clock-tower, where the subject was discussed and a depu tation appointed to wait upon the council, but what the result of the interview was we have not been able to ascer tain. There was almost an unanimous determination come to not to shoot again for the prize ' as it was urged that an unfair test would be put to the men who bad strictly complied with the regullations. In compliment to the Belgian Volunteers, Messrs. Smallpage and Son, military tailors, of Maddox-street, Bond-street, have just intimated their intention of giving a prize, value 80 guineas, which will be shot for by the Be4ians during their star. The rise was brought on to the ground to-day, and it is exceedingly novel and appro priate in its design. It is in the form of a target, with three circles of red, gold, and blue, end is the centre is the bull's-eye of bureisbed gold. In the very centre of the bull's-eye, or space so called, is an eye, beautifully enamelled. On each side of the target are rifles, Hags, drums, and imple ment* of war, and the whole is surmounted by a silver-gilt crown. At the base is a shield for an inscription and the name of the winner. This prize will be shot for at a range of 150 yards, on sonic day not at present named during the meeting. The following prizes will be shot for by the Belgians : The National Rifle Association Challenge Cup, value 2001., with Sot. in money added, to be shot for at 500 yards. At 200 yards, • cup, given by the town of Worth ing, of the value of 101. The Gunmakers' Company of Loudon give a cup of the value of tit . 10s, and • silver cup will be given by Colonel Penton, let Surrey. There will also be four purees, containing U. each, a telescope given by Mr. Roes, the optician, of the value of 4/. ; one by Mr. Steward, value 31. For the range of 150 yards there will be the following prizes offered :—A small-bore rifle, given by Mr. Reilly, of the value of 231. ; a cup, given by the Guninakers' Company of London, of the value of 21/. ; • binocular glass, ;,iven ' by Mr. Steward, of the value of 51. 10s. ; and four purses of Si. each. In consequence of the prize by the Land and Water newspaper being omitted from the official programme no notice was taken of it at the proper time. It is of the value of 25/., and was intended to be given as the second prize in the Daily Ttlearaph content. The second, or Land and Water prize, was won by Private Reed, of the 14th Suffolk. The Ist Surrey will entertain 100 of the Belgians at dinner to-morrow, on which occasion Colonel Macdonelel, colonel of the corm will take the chair. About 2,000 of the Belgians will be provided with luncheon in Jennison'. saloons. . . . . . The China Challenge Cop will be shot for to-morrow (this slay) for which the representatives of 72 corps will —..—... For the Martin's Prize. Ensign Cow, of the Queen's F.din burgh, made 18 points out of five shots, in Ilytho position, at 600 yards. The numerous visitors to the common to-day were grati fied by the exhibition of the Tennyson Vase, manu factured by Messrs. Hancock, Soo, and C0.,0f Bowl-street, It is of oxydised silver and parcel gilt, of the value of 1.2501., and was designed by Mr. H. Armstead. The story illustrated ia the " Morte d'Arthur and Guinevere." un one side is a medallion representing the conflict between Sir Modred and KingA.rthurand his knights of the Round Table, and on the other the dying king upon the dusky barge surrounded by his faithless queen and com panions. The handles are formed of the figeres of Merlin, the enchanter, and Queen Guinevere. Around the neck are two grotesque and monstrous dragons battling, whilst around the foot runs a bas-relief of angels singing on Christmas morn, " Arthur is come again —be cannot die. Come again, and thrice as fair. Come with all good things, and war shall be no more." The work was greatly admired. •-•- - --• • W ILLCOX AND titan bIWIXO IlLicutsg.—" Its meant Is stronger and leo liable to rip In see or "rear than the l°c l,4ol ck• .—" Judges' 'Wort; at to -Grand That; reed I for the •• Report; and samples of work, containing both LW& of stitches on the same piece of goods. —W. and O. ti IL Cowpony. 136.
