The follow ing letter has been addressed to Arr. Rarey by the owner of the horse: " i 34, Worship-street, Fnury, August 1, 1859. " Dear Sir, —ln reply to your note o sb f inquiry with regard to the character of our horse, we beg to inform you that in his Present condition we consider him a most dangerous animal, and shall be most happy to place him in your hands to receive a lesson of obedience, and also to have your advice as to his Proper management in future. The horse, having killed one of our men, is now kept securely tied up, by the head with three strong ropes, to prevent him from doing any further injury. He is never approached except by climbing over the partition of his stall in front of him, as no man could go into It in the ordinary way. He is a high-spirited, courageous horse, and if he could be broken of his vicious propensities Would be a most valuable one. We, are, dear Sir, " Your obedient servants, " J. S. Rarey.

In any mea§ure of this kind we have no right to sup pose that the French Government would act other wise than in the most perfect good faith; but disarmament would leave the French means for attack undiminished, and always available, while every sailor paid off in England would be lost to the service, and every ship laid up would be useless. Disarmament in France means nothing more nor less than the formation of reserves, capable of being brought forward at any time ; it also means econo mising the cost of keeping men until they are wanted for actual service. It is almost needless to remind your readers that the whole of the maritime popu lation is registered, and liable to service on board men-of-war. The Inscription Maritime not only includes merchant seamen and fishermen, but like wise all naval artificers of every description. The system provides for supplying the State with the services of this section of the community, and it takes care that the services shall be valuable. The men furnished by the conscription are draughted off every year into the fleet, where they are care fully instructed in gunnery and the duties of men of-wars-men. When this is done, and they are thoroughly efficient, they are returned back into the merchant service or other civil employment. By this means the maritime population is in reality an immense naval reserve maintained at no cost to the nation. So far, therefore, as the means for offence of France are concerned, it is a matter of no moment to what extent she dis arms, for her reserves are always maintained intact, and are constantly fed with fresh hands who ha.ye passed through the Imperial navy for instruction. Let us now see how the two systems work, and that, without necessarily imputing bad faith or hostile intentions toeany one. Wa will suppose Eng land to possess 50 liners afloat and France 40. Both countries agree to place out of commission 20 liners each, and to dismiss their crews, when the peace party would say the relative positions of the two fleets are maintained. U icier this arrange ment the English ships are laid up and their crews discharged, to join the merchant service, or to swell the ranks of the United States' navy. Once dismissed they are lost to the English service. The utmost that we could hope would be to be able to win back a fraction, perhaps a tenth; of the 20,000 blue jackets who have been entered and taugheat such great expense to the nation. To get back this s p u o m r t s i o i n n w t o h u e l d s h n a e p c o e s of i f t a b t o e u t n he ti e s expenditure ,aud a delay of at least three months. Nor is this all. As our ships have heavy duties to perform, must be distributed over every sea, and are charged with the police of the ocean, they could not enter more boys or lands men than at present, except at the risk * of impair ing the efficiency of the crews and jeopardising the safety of the ships. In France the 20 liners that would be put out of commis. sion would be moorel in the harbours of Toulon, Brest, and Cherbourg. They would have all their guns on board. Their masts and spars, rigging, and sails would be care fully ticketted and packed away in warehouses along the quays. The. 20,000 seamen discharged would each have his place marked for him on board the ship he was told off to. He is obliged to present himself at fixed periods to the authorities, and to state where and how be is employed, so that they may always be able to put their hands , upon him. - f i h s ships duties t remainingo perform, i eo m - com pared with those of English ships, are i n rea lit y The little F r o e r n e no h nautical schools. They may receive on board th e mesnionw,anted. having regular quota of conscription every year, and also call in from the merchant service young seamen who have learned the peaceful portion of their profession, and keep them on board until they are well taught in gunnery, and made thorough men-of wars men, after which they will be discharged into the reserves. Now, let us suppose that three years hence war should appear imminent between the two countries, France, although paying for a peace esta blishment, will have been drilling her maritime population according to the regular increase and for a war footing. The 20,000 men will receive their feuilks de,"route, and notice to proceed by railway to the ports where their respective ships are laid up. Every man knows his station, and falls into it naturally and at once. The riggers, caulkers, car penters, and naval artificers, are likewise ordered to join, to fit out the ships ready for sea. The - whole is done by a simple telegraphic order ; and it is no exaggeration to suppose that in a -month the whole French fleet of 40 liners would be equipped and at sea, and that at very little cost to the nation, since no bounties are given, and naval artificers are paid considerably below the or dinary rate of wages. What, then, would be the position of the English fleet? True, there would be 30 liners in commission, but from them must be deducted ships on colonial stations—in China, West Indies, and North America—so that there would not muster more than 20 in the Mediterranean and Channel, or half as many as the French. To restore the original proportion, we should have to bring the 20 forward that were laid up in ordinary: But where are their crews ? There is the naval reserve formed by Sir James Graham, but that is not strong enough to man one-third of the ships in ordinary: ; while, as they have not been kept together in crews, they would require to be three months at sea to shake down properly and be efficient. Nor is this all. During the period of peace referred to both nations would have been building and launch inc.. ships. France could commission hers at on c e, stela. as crews were concerned, out of the reserves she had drilled and formed in her fleet on a peace footing. In England, to enter a man recourse must be had to the costly, dilatory, and cumbersome sys tem. of bounties. Without being liable to the charge of being an alarmist, one may look forward, if the present state of things is allowed to continue under a disarmament, to witness at the outbreak of a war between England and France, should so dire a ca lamity ever occur, the English fleet being outnum bered by that of France, and in what we have hitherto been accustomed to consider English waters. PRICE 4P• STAMPED, SD. THE NAVY. The Nile 91 guns left the IVlersey yesterday. Durils her stay at that station she has been the object of considerable attraction to the s inhabitants of the port, great numbers of whom assembled on the piers to see her departure. The Duke of Wellington, 131 guns, is expected in her place. Another addition will shortly be made to the line-of-battle steamers of the Royal Naiy by the launch of the fine screw steamship Irresistible, 80 guns, from Chatham dockyard. She is now nearly out of the hands of the caulkers, and will be fit for launching in a very short period. Her machinery is to be of 400 horse power. Admiralty orders have been received at Chatham dockyard for the Tartar, 46, which has been for many years used as a receiving hulk to vessels fit ting far sea at that port, to be taken into No. 1 dock, now occupied by the Wasp, screw steamer, in order that she may be broken up, her great age rendering her useless. The steam tender Avon, Mr. I. H. Lawrence master, is appointed to leave Plymouth to-day for Cherbourg, with the invalid French seamen brought from China by the Calcutta, 84. A court-martial assembled yesterday morning on board the Impregnable,, 104, Capt. Stewart, in Hamoaze, Plymouth, for the trial of Mr. Frederick Kirkman, master of her Majesty's steam sloop Gla diator, for drunkenness. The steam store ship Dee, Master J. C. Pullen commanding, from Woolwich, with stores, ma chinery, and boilers, arrived at Plymouth on Mon day, and went into Keyham basin to discharge. The crew of the sailing ship Calcutta, 84, Capt. Hall, in Plymouth Sound, were inspected on Mon day by Port-Admiral Sir Barrington Reynolds, who was conveyed to her in the gunboat Redwing. Having discharged her powder the Calcutta was in the afternoon towed up Hamoaze. When off Mount Wise the crew mounted the yards and in a few seconds detached the sails. 'Her topgallant masts, and yards were sent down with equal celerity. The Calcutta was then placed alongside the Devonport Dockyard to be dismantled. She will be put out ,of commission in about a week. The sailing line-of-battle ship Cumberland, 70, Capt. H. D. Rogers, was towed ou t o f Pl ymout h Sound on Monday by the Zephyr, and sailed for Sheerness, with a strong westerly wind. She took supernumeraries for the above port. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—B. B. Stuart, master, to the Gladiator; B. E. B. Williams, master, to the Virago ; R. L. Cleveland, master, additional, to the Asia ; and John N. Harvey, assistant-paymaster, to the Aboukir. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 3, 1859.

Forms for opening accounts sent free, on application. propose to spread the work compulsorily among a larger number of men, not dividing the wages as well as the work, but paying accord ing to numbers, and not to time or work. The excuse for a rank cheat like this it would not -be easy for a fair-minded man to guess. It is that numbers who are now out of work will be brought in. This dragging in of inferior men to the injury of the superior ones already employed, this artificial increase of the number to be.main tained by the wages fund, is an outrage which it becomes the workmen, yet more than the employers, to resist. The whole scheme is one of pillage, whichever way it is looked at. We trust the in telligent and upright members of the building class will assert their rights, and show a strong front against the tyranny which would set them at. vari ance with their employers, and break up their pro spect of honourable independence. The firms in the building trades are resolved on supporting Messrs. Trollope, in whose yards the strike was decreed to begin. All workmen who will not assert their own rights and liberties against the agitators will be turned off on the 6th inst ; and everybody , knows what must follow—loss all round and abso lute ruin to those who depend on their daily labour for their daily bread. The boasts of final success sent forth by the agents of the strike deceive nobody. The case would be hopeless if the cause were less bad than it is ; but the movement is so thoroughly bad that the sympathy of society is altogether with the employers, and with such of the men as may befourageous enough t o t a k e th e i r s t an d u p on th e i r rights. 'Contractors will be allowed time ; inde pendent workmen will be protected by law and sanctioned by public opinion ; while the agitators will be blighted by the contempt and the cowards humbled by the pity of society. Is it yet too late for the intelligent working men to avert this disgrace and calamity ? Can they not even yet resolve to show that England is a free country for the working man ? Can they not close the gulf which yawns to swallow up the capital of employers, and the working man's wages ? Let them not open their lips in political complaint till they have put an end to a mischief mme costly to them than any war, more burdensome than any tax, past or present, and more degrading than any insult that could be offered them by any class but their own. (From the DineB.) No man of average humanity can look at several hundred poor fellows toiling under a hot sun from 6 o'clock to 6 o'clock - without compassion and re spect. Their furrowed faces, their rigid movements, and their slouching figures, show that their work tells upon them, and that the primmval curse is with them a fell reality. How one would like to mitigate their hard toil ; to abate the fury of the sun that glares over their heads ; to lighten by mechanism the burden on their shoulders, and to shorten their toil by at least one sweet hour of rest ! Or, if this can't be done, how delightful to give them all a few weeks' holiday ; to place them on grassy banks, by running streams, and under the shade of ancient groves—there, amid their friends, to recruit their weary frames, and enable them to think of something more than bricks and hods and picks and spades! But there is no use wishing anything of the sort, for it is plainly im possible. Labour must submit to the facts of the case, be they ever so hard. The sailor must work in foul weather as well as fair, and cannot refuse to furl topsails because it is blowing hard or because the sails are stiff with wet and frost. The doctor must go out at all hours and assist at the most diffi cult and disagreeable operations. Everybody, that does his duty, has his trials, to his health, to his temper, to his brain, or his affections. So the case of these poor Irishmen—and most of them are Irish men—working their j , ints stiff and their faces rough with incessant toil, is only of a piece with the rest of human life, though work may not always show itself so much on the outside. But what do the facts of their condition prescribe for them ? They must work as much as they can while the fine weather lasts ; they cannot work in frost or in rain, they cannot do much in the short days ; once at work, the scaffold once up, the mechanism once arranged, the materials once coming in, the supe rintendents once .engaged, builders, architects, tradesmen, contractors, clerks, all 'once at their posts,. it behoves employers to do the work as quickly as possible. A great capital is necessary in all these arrangements, and it mnst bring in returns goon. -0.11 these are the natural conditions of the trade, and these are not always compatible with short hours and holidays. Wait a little, and these things will coine when they are not wanted; but a fine August in London is not the time or place for a builder's holiday. One might as well try to stop a ship in a storm, or a sicknet while the doctor is preparing the remedy. The house must be finished as quickly as possible, or everybody will be ruined who has any concern in it. This is the peculiar hardship, the injury , and the crime of a builders' strike" in the middle of summer. Of course, the clever fellows behind the scenes, who sit all day at the tap of the " Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" and tipple at the cost of their dupes, select the time because it is the most unfit for stopping. They choose the time as a ruffian does when he wants to smash a railway train. lie lays a log across the rail, not at a station, but mid way between two stations, and where the rail crosses a river or a deep valley. It is just now the worst time for everybody. The contractor is anxiously calculating whether he can roof in or break the neck of his job before winter. The labourer has just got out of debt, and is hoping to save enough to live when frost and rain stop his weik. Proprietors and employers are looking on, and calculating the time when they may expect to occupy the house or receive a dividend from the concern. Every cloud, in the sky makes them anxious that no time be lost. This is just the moment when every man on the building finds that he must stop. Generally speaking, he would gladly give a sovereign out of his own pocket to be able to go on quietly, but he must go with the rest. So everything stops, everything spoils. The builder has borrowed large sums of money at high interest, or has creditors to meet; at all events, he has a large " plant," which only pays with much use. If it is an object to do the thing when the greatest mischief may follow, then the is the right time. What time so proper t 6 shoot a man down as when he is sitting at his fireside with his wife and family P But common sense and common feeling tell us that this is not the right way to advance rights, or to do good to anybody. No wonder that poor Daniel O'Connell told the present Lord Chancellor confi dentially that " strikes" were the bane of his coun try—that they ruined, first masters, then men, and so drove away trade and capital. If in Lon don labourers are underpaid, this is not the way to better them. The right way can never be so wrong. It cannot answer ; it never has answered, and it will not answer. The poor fellows who throw down their hods or their shovels at such bidding may be sheep, but the men who bid them are wolves. As a matter of course, the Master Builders have taken measures of defence. They have been told that Messrs. Trollopo have only been . selected for the first victims, and that all the rest are to follow ; so they have accepted the challenge, and declared ar with the " Conference of the United Building Trades." They are resolved not to employ_ men who profess to obey another master, and who may therefore at any moment leave them in the lurch. Self-preservation justifies this step. Nobody is bound to do that which places him in bondage, and which may utterly ruin him. A master knows best what wages he can afford to pay, and what hours and other rules it is necessary to enforce; but if any day—on the Ist of August, for example—he may be obliged either to give higher wages or shorter hours, or see his works stop altogether, then, of course, he may be ruined against his will and better knowledge. The Master Builders have simply de manded the privilege of free Englishmen in resolv ing not to employ the members of a mischievous conspiracy. Every labourer can consult his own interests in his own time and fashion. Every la bourer has opportunities. He can follow work all over the town—all over the country--all over the world. He can save money and become a master himself. One of the largest contractors in the last generation, represented by a name in the list of Master Builders this day advertised, used the point with pride to a very well built house, in the facing of which he had himself laid every brick. There are the same opportunities in these days. But the whole question of employment is one between mas ter and man, and no man will ever live to be master unless he is content to be man till then. We pity these poor fellows. We pity the privations they must suffer. We pity their wives and children. We pity their filly, and, more than all, the ill pas sions sure to be fostered by the " strike," if it goes on. But we tell them they have done an act con trary to common sense, English fairness, and Chris tian charity, in suddenly striking at a time calcu lated to ruin their masters. They have compelled their masters to defend themselves by the only means in their power, and the Trades' Unions are alone responsible for the quarrel and all its conse quences, STRIKE IN THE BUILDING TRADE. We have been requested to publish the following letter, addressed to the Chairman of the United Trades : " Sir,—l hope the United Trades will lose no time in taking measures to let it be known that the other trades in the country have no connection with the United Building . Trades,' and that they will not support them in the unprincipled and wicked course which they are taking in organising a strike, which, unless prevented, will become general in London on Saturday. That body, I understand, are led by a few reckless men, who are regardless of the consequences they are entail ing on hundreds of families. Had they merely sought to reduce the hours from four o'clock to two o'clock on Saturday, so as to secure a half-holiday, they would have had the sympathy of the country generally with them; but, as it is, many even of their own number see the folly and injustice of asking ten hours' pay for nine hours' work, espe cially in a trade more healthy and less exposed to evil influences than hundreds of others. However much I regret and deplore strikes, yet there are occasions when, remonstrances having failed, the injustice inflicted on the working men by the masters is so flagrant that strikes become justi fiable. Instances are but too frequent where masters cruelly neglect and oppress those in their employment, and by such eons uct place a diffi culty in the way of right-minded employers car rying out their benevolent schemes. . " However, the lull in foreign and domestic polities offers now a prospect that qUestions of social reform will he attended to in the next and ensuing session of Parliament, but if such unprin cipled strikes as these take place the feeling towards the working classes will be changed, and legislation on the subject will retrograde instead of advance. It is for this reason that I address you, in the hope that a decided demonstration on the part of the other trades may yet stop these infatuated men, and that they will yield to wiser counsellors, as among them there must be many good and Chris tian men who may be induced, if not to control, at least to separate themselves from their misguided companions. "The strike of the United Building Trades can not succeed, as, though they may effect the ruin of a few of the small contractors and master build ers, the principal contractors will receive the sym pathy of their employers, and in most cases the delay in the completion of a building is of no seri ous consequence. " Your obedient servant, " Grosvenor-square, Aug. 2." " KINNAIRD." TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—ln common with all who have seen the working of the Bricklayers' Association I read your to-day's leading article with great interest, and, believing this association to be at least ai in jurious to the Men and their interests as it is to those of their employers, I sincerely hope that your attack may be the means of breaking its power once for all. I take the liberty of making known to you the circumstances upon which this opinion was founded. About two years ago we were erect ing at our Battersea works some engineers' and other shops, involving a good deal of brickwork, and employing about 120 bricklayers; the best of these employed on the parts requiring special skill were paid ss. 6d., the rest ss. a-day, which we had ascertained to be full pay for the class of work at the time. A young man (paid by the association, as we were informed, 7s. a day), watched the men at work from the road, and spoke to them, and there were some murmurs for the extra 6d., but nothing seemed very serious till at one dinner time almost all except our regular hands left work, and a printed placard was posted about the neigh bourhood, stating that bricklayers were not to work at "Prices's." As we have not the character of being hard with our people, this was not plea sant, but our only answer was a counter notice that we wanted bricklayers, but that no member of the association need apply., As the most impor tant part of our brickwork had been finished we were in a very comfortable position, and intended, if necessary, to go on quietly till the advanced season made the supply of bricklayers much greater than the demand for them. However, within ten days and without our giving way, the brickwork was all going on again, and we were informed that the association had had enough of " Price's ;" but "Price's" had not had enough of it. We traced the way the strike had been organ ised, and the accounts we then heard of the com pulsion which had been exercised over numbers of well-intentioned, hard-working men, who were per fectly satisfied with what they knew to be right pay, and who longed to continue at work, makes us, as I said before, rejoice in the hope of this large class being freed from the tyranny oflhe few talk ing men who seem at present to be their absolute masters.—l am, sir, your most obedient servant, G. F. WILSON. Price's Patent Candle Company, Belmont, Vauxhall, Jul's , 30. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

(From the .Registrar:Gcneral's Report.) The return of births and deaths in London issued by authority of the Registrar-General for last week indicates some improvement in the state of the public health. The deaths during five weeks had constantly increased, and in the week ending July 23 had risen to 1,605. A mitigation of the intense heat, accompanied by occasional showers, has been followed by a decrease of the deaths, which in the week ending last Saturday were 1,419. The mean temperature of the air was 67.4 deg. in the first week of July, 71 deg. and 69 deg. in the two subsequent weeks, and last week it was 67 deg. In the ten years 1849-58 the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 1,148 ; but, as the deaths returned for last week occurred in an' increased population, they should be compared with the average raised in proportion to the increase, namely, with 1,262. The result is that the deatht of last week exceeded. by 157 the number which the average rate of mor tality for the last week of July would have pro duced. The decrease in the deaths of last week from diarrhoea as compared with those of the previous week is not great, for the numbers were succes sively 415 and 382; but the complaint appears to have been less aggravated in its character, as the deaths referred to " cholera" and " choleraic diar rhoea" were 39 in the previous week, and last week were only 19. Out of the 382 cases in which diar rhoea is recorded, 356 occurred to children. It was shown in the last report that this disease was fatal chiefly in the east districts, and the same observa tions hold true in regard to the present returns, for 109 deaths from it occurred in that portion of the metropolis, viz., 29 in Shoreditch, 27 Beth • nal-green, 12 in Whitechapel, 9 in St. George's in-the-East, 20 in Stepney and Mile-end Old-town, 12 in Poplar. There were 14 in Westntinster, 20 in Marylebone, 30 iu St. Pancras, 16 in Islington. Of the 19 deaths referred to cholera, 5 were those of adults, and one of these is returned thus :—" On July 23, at Kensal-green Fasworks house, an engineer, aged 43 years, diarrhcea (18 hours), Asiatic cholera (3 days), collapse (48 hours)." Scarlatina was fatal in 36 cases, diphtheria in 16, smallpox in 23. Last week the births of 881 boys and 922 girls, in all 1,803 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1839- 58 the average number was 1,485. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.909 in. The barometer fell from 30 in. on Monday to 29.68 in. on Saturday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 67 deg., which was 4.8 deg. above the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean daily temperature was above the average on every day after Sunday, and on Wednesday and Thursday this excess was about 2 deg. The thermometer in the shade fell to its lowest point, 46.5 deg., on Monday, and rose to its highest, 85 deg., on Wed nesday. The range of temperature in the week was therefore 38.5 deg. ; the mean daily range in the week was 20.8 deg. The mean dew-pcint tempe rature was 57 deg. ; and the difference between this and the mean air temperature was 10 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 70. The mean temperature of the water of the, Thames was 71.7 deg., which is 4.7 deg. above that of the air. After Monday the wind blew from the south west. The rain measured in the week was 0.03 in., which fell on Saturday. THE ABDIY . In consequence of the difficulty experienced by many of the agriculturists in Kent in obtaining a sufficient number of hands for reaping operations, owing to the great scarcity of labour, several of the farmers in the neighbourhood of Chatham have made:most urgent applications to the military authca rides to allow a number of the troops now quar tered in that garrison to be employed for a short time in assisting in getting in the harvest. The authorities have granted the application, and orders have been forwarded to the Major-General com manding at Chatham giving permission for a large number of the troops belonging to the three bat talions of infantry to be placed at the disposal of those farmers who may require their services. The troops are to be paid regular wages, which will be approved by the military authorities, and none but men of the best character will be allowed to be eMi ployed in this description of labour. Intelligence having been received at the Horse ' Guards that the 20th company of Royal Engineer, now stationed in the Mauritius, to which they prO ceeded in 1853, have been reduced considerably be low their proper strength, in consequence of deaths and other casualties, the authorities have decided , on despatching the 27th company, under the com mand of Captain A. W. Durnford, to that station, for the purpose of assisting the 20th company in prosecuting the engineering and other works on which they are now engaged. The 27th company, which is novtat Aldershott Camp, will join head quirters-at - Chatham, where its strength will be made up to 120 men prior to its embarkation. A variety of projects having lately been under consideration at Woolwich, with a view of advanC ing the sanitary condition of the soldier, by improv ing the means of preparing his daily food, whether in birraks, on the road, or in camp, a number of patent cooking inventions have been introduced, each of which has presented advantages over the old methods, which, it is admitted, proved so cala mitous to the British soldier during the Russian war, An effectual trial of several of Capt. Grant's ambulatory and other kitchens was yesterday made on Dartford Heath, under the inspection of Major- Gen. Sir It. .Dacres. K.C.8., Rear-Admiral C. S. Dacres, C.B. (the General's brother), and the prin cipal officers of Woolwich garrison. The whole of the disposable force of the Royal Artillery stationed at Woolwich were paraded in marching order for that purpose, in front of the barrack, it half-pat eight yesterday morning, and marched in two divi sions to Dartford, the Ist division taking the Dover road through Welling, and the 2d division proceed ing through Elthqm and Bexley, and arriving at the heath at 11 o'clock. An appropriate space,con sisting of au extensive range of the heath, was taken by the troops on their arrival, and occupied as encampment quarters, where in the course clf half-an-hour about 300 canvas tents were pitched, and at half-past one the whole of the officers and men dined with the same facility and comfort as in permanent barracks. Captain Grant's battalion and hospital cooking-waggons, recently tested in Woolwich arsenal in the presence of the sanitary committee, followed in the rear of the march, as well as canteen, &c., but the preparation 'for the dinners was not performed, as on the former occa sion, on the road, to give an opportunity of fairly testing the capabilities of the pontoon cooking stoves at the same time. For the erection of these latter stoves, trenches were dug in the form of a cross, in which four pontoons were laid, served by an iron chimney about two feet in height, easily adapted or removed. The fires were lighted in the trench at the four angles, and the current of air was easily available for keeping the fires in good condition. Every description of stewing, boiling, &c., was thus carried out, and, by a most ingenious method applied to the top of the chimney, a large frying-pan provided excellent beefsteaks and rashers of bacon. The battallion cooking waggon was packed on each side of the boiler with 2001 b. of wood, which serves as a clothing, while the heat assists to dry the wood if green or wet, from the weather. This apparatus supplied 170 gallons of vegetable soup, and weighs 10cwt. 81b., and also supplies vegetables and meat, stewed, boiled, &c,, in the usual manner. The hospital cooking wag gon contained 140 gallons, and cooked the rations of 500 men. The weight of the last-named appa ratus is 13cwt. 114-Ib. The additional weight is made up by the extra number of cooking vessels and other arrangements necessary for giving greater variety in the culinary requirements for hospital use. The results of this and other trials show that 150 lbs. of wood are sufficient to cook the three daily meals for 500 men, being an advantage over the old system, in which the Government allow ance was 31bs. of wood per man a day. After the dinners wcrc over the pontoons were formed into a raft, and their efficiency satisfactorily proved on a piece of water on the heath. The General , accom paniedct by Capt. Grant, made a persorl insdesire peion of the whole of the operations , and, w ith a of gaining an impartial judgment on the matter, made various inquiries of the men th e mselves, from whom replies. The received the most ample and satisfactory The troops were permitte d to recre ate until 6, when they recommenced their march and returned to Woolwich at half- p ast 8. on the heath heath w e quote some interesting Cures [ADVERTISEMENT.

FUNERAL OF YEll. We omitted to mention, in the summary of Can ton News, last mail, that Yeh's body arrived there on May 14, creating little or no sensation. The next morning a roomy long boat was sent for the case in which the coffin was secured, and 24 hours afterwards the boat was seen a little below the Cumfa Mew, on the Honam shore, with no other emblem of her burden than a white flag. It was supposed that the body would be carried to the cemetery near the North-East Gate. The Friend of China, in alluding to this subject, says :—" Yeh was only 53 years of age, a%l, by the course of na ture, should have seen many more days. But for the desire which he expressed — to see his native land again—we might almost be disposed to think that he took that which shortened the thread of life. Alas ! poor Yeh ! he had such an extraor dinary method of dealing with the truth that even hearing he the expression of his pining may, have been, as all his opllietbin as Cantona hues ea was no more. ' There will be no ceremo n y over his removal,' said one of th e f ormer class; ' the Emperor has taken away all his titles—he is no more than the commonest coolie of the streets.' So much for Yeh ! Seven hundred dollars, freight money from Calcutta to Canton, was a good deal to pay for such a result." Another account says that when the remains were landed, they were placed in a temple in the eastern suburb, " where they w ere they remained undisturbed till the morning of May 27, when, with the assistance of some English en gineers, and attend e d b y a party of English poli • police, the coffin was'opened. Th e b o dy was found to e 1; in a fair state of preservation, th oug h b y no means sweet ; it was in a lead en co ffi n , w hi c h was enclosed in zinc, and that again secured in a strong teak casing. The Chinese coffin which was prepared for the body was of prodigious dimensions, being seven feet long, four broad, an d t handsomely decorated. The bodywo deep, and was -clot was re-clothed in full uniform, including hat and boots, and was then placed, with six or eight silk-covered . mat trasses of very handsome descriptions, into the Chinese coffin •, and a supply of various secular wants being placed therein for 'the t e use of the de ceased, the lid was fastened down, and the whole is now left in charge of his domestics, pending an opportunity for transmission northwards. Much respect was shown by the numerous Chinese officers (nearly every one of rank in the neighbourhood of Canton) to the deceased, and sorrow, either real or feigned, found vent, in more than one instance, in tears. The utmost order prevailed, andno ob jection was evinced to the presence of the foreigners." —China Telegraph.

THE BUILDERS' STRIKE. (Froni the Daily News.) An attempt i s now being made on the rights and iberties of the working class of England, as insi dious, audacious, and perilous as any that has been made in our time. It is our proper business to watch over the rights of all classes of our fellow citizens ; and our vigilance is always keenly directed to the case of those who are still unrepre sented in the Legislature, and who should, there fore, be especially befriended by those who are. A large portion of that class are now in danger of an insufferable tyranny, bringing on every kind of misery —discontent, disrepute, poverty, and ruin. Unless they and their friends exert themselves im mediately to expose and defy this tyranny, and to assert their own eights and liberties, this year will be a calamitous' one for many thousands of the working men of England, and an introduction to something even worse. If there is a right more sacred and indisputable than another, in our country and our time, it is a man's disposal of his own industry. At this day, it ought not to be necessary to explain, anywhere out of the school-room, that wherever men are not in a state of chattel-slavery, their labour is their own property, over which they have an absolute and ex clusive right. We pity the Russian serf because he is not the owner of his own labour. We pity the French workman whenever the Government thinks proper to fix by law or authority the rate of wages, or the price of commodities which wages must buy. Government then tyrannically inter feres with a man's first and dearest right—to dis pose freely of his labour. We pity the Egyptian peasant who is forcibly set to work upon canals or public buildings, and paid such' wages as the au thorities please to give. We even pity the German artisans, who are hedged in by restrictions which were once imposed in England, and long ago found to be intolerable. With a view to keep up wages, and to give privileges to a few at the expense of the many, and also with some sincere, though mis taken, notion of maintaining a high quality of exe cution in handicraft trades, guilds are kept up in Germany with extreme strictness ; multitudes of willing workmen are prevented from pur suing the calling they prefer, and are com pelled to emigrate if they will not starve. The prodigious and increasing emigration of a pau perised multitude, which now alarms the rul ers o f Germany, is mainly owing to the bondage to which industry is subjected under ancient methods which the times have outgrown. While considering the case of all these working classes abroad, we have been accustomed to congra tulate ourselves on the freedom enjoyed by the same order of society in England. There were once guilds in this country, and attempts to fix prices and wages by act of Parliament, and, up to a recent time, restrictions on the supply of food, and there. fore on the development of industry. One by one of these ;tyrannies of ignorance have been got rid of, and, as the Legislature and the nation grew wiser, we exulted in the spread of freedom and the growth of spirit, intelligence, and prosperity among the working men. But now, as too often before, a rude check is given to our hope and satisfaction, and we are almost ready to say that there seems to be a fatality against the largest cl iss in the nation ever securing the full enjoyment of their dearest rights. It is the tyranny of ignorance again that we have to combat ; but this time it is not the ignorance of rulers or of society at large, but of the class immediately concerned. There are about 60,000 skilled labourers (besides an unknown number of unskilled) employed in the building trades in London alone. This great body of workmen have, for the most part, wives and children at home ; so that we may consider that at least 300,000 persons in London and the neighbour hood depend on the skilled part of that branch of industry. The workmen receive about five shil lings a day, or thirty shillings a week ; an income equal to that of the majority of curates of the Church of England, and to that of many a half-pay officer of the army'and- navy, and a multitude of fundholders. Such an income, prudently laid out, will support wife and little ones till the little ones become able to work for their own support. These wages are paid for 581 hours' labour per week : that is, for twelve or fifteen hours less of work than most people in England, America, France, and Ger many choose to set themselves when they work in the establishments of employers, or by the piece. Our London builders work ten hours for five days in the week, and eight and a half on Satur days. Wherever they could go, at home or abroad, they must work at least that number of hours, or a greater, for the same wages ; and most of them are satisfied. Unless very ignorant, they must know how glad their fathers and grandfathers would have been to have obtained such wages in days when provisions are comparatively cheap and taxation is largely shifted from the working-classes to the aris tocracy ; and for the most part they accept their lot as a favourable one. But they are not allowed to live and work in peace and content. They are threatened, overborne, disturbed, and likely to be ruined, not by government or aristocracy, but by a few of their own comrades. It makes a free citi zen's blood boil to read of the meddlesome tyranny which is spoiling many a poor man's home at this moment, driving the husband and father from his work, robbing him thereby of his wages, compell ing him to spend his precious days in idleness, and to take money which he has not earned to buy his children bread. In a certain number of weeks there will be no money and no bread, and then the work which he never wished to leave will be irrecovera• ble, and ruin will have overtaken his happy home. And why is all this ? Who does it ? And who has any right to do it ? A certain number of wrong-headed or wrong hearted men—we need not settle which—have been going about preaching for some time past that men had better not work more than nine hours per day ; hinting that, in fact, eight hours are enough, and will be agitated for by and by. "Nine hours a day will meet our present requirements," they say which indicates that a further reduction will be asked for by and by. They speak of the advantages of mo derate labour, and of a portion of leisure for all ; but there is no evidence that ten hours' laboar in the open air is injurious to health, while they leave several hours for other pursits. Some of the greatest men in England have achieved their great ness under harder conditions of labour. All this, however, is a matter on which every man may .have his own opinion ; and he ought to have perfect liberty to form his own plan of life. Any man who thinks he can do his duty by his household by nine, eight, or seven hours' toil, has a perfect right to arrange accordingly ; and so has the man who, at piece work or otherwise, chooses to work eleven or twelve hours. They have the choice between less work and less pay, or more work and more pay. But here we light upon the circumstance which proves the dishonest character of the agitation stirred up by the tyrants of the building class. Their demand is that the employers shall pay the same wages as before for an hour's less work per man per day ; in other words, for 300,000 hours' less work per week in London alone. Such rob bery of the employers will, of course, not be per mitted. The employers will not submit to it; so ciety at large will not countenance it; and the workmen themselves do not for the most part desire it. Yet are they subjected to the disiepute, loss, and hopeless prospects which belong to such a movement. They say by hundreds that they have no choice ; that they are under compulsion ; that they and their families shall suffer for it if they refuse to strike. They are thoroughly aware that a few :mischievous men, who are fond of notoriety and power, and of the salaries which are paid to the agents of strikes, are making tools of them, and dragging them into an enterprise which must fail; but they dare not resist; and thus are the stout, able-bodied, industrial flower of English society made slaves of by a handful of self-seekers, who have no manner of right to interfere in their affairs. 'The string of had reasons given by the agitators shows the true character of the movement. They want to introduce working by relays, or by in creased numbers, not for the same sum of money, but to make up the same amount of time. They assume that there is a certain quantity of work to be done, which vfili take so much time to do. They .er In ho ng ng he qi ,ed in -3---' r.) :tiS it. in ,„4::
