There has been a furious boiling up of the war cauldron since Sunday last. Every one was calcu lating on the evacuation or capture of Richmond, or in some other triumph of the Federal arms, either under the walls of that city or at Corinth, when suddenly there came the news of a defeat from a quarter where nobody expected any danger —a defeat that has created something like a panic in Washington and in this city, if not throughout the whole North. Sunday has of late become so especially the day for the arrival in this city of important war news, that before going to church in the morning most people make up their minds to hear either of a victory or a defeat on coming out of it, and many stay away altogether from Divine service that they may be earlier informed. Three Sundays ago came the evacuation of Norfolk. The Sunday before last brought intelligence of the re pulse of the Monitor and the Galena in the James River, and the day before yesterday New York re-_ ceived a still greater shock in the news that Gene ral Banks had been defeated at Winchester by a large force under General Jackson, after an obsti nate engagement of six hours, and that the Federal army or the Shenandoah was in full retreat across the Potomac. The news was generally credited, and created a very uneasy feeling in the minds of the large class who are weary of the war, and look with alarm on any Confederate victory that may tend to prolong it. The despatches and details that arrived yesterday confirmed it to the fullest extent, and added other particulars of a nature to cause some apprehension for the safety of Balti more, and even of Washington. The friends of the South are so many and so influential in Baltimore —though the " rowdy" mob is on the other side— that not even the presence of a large Federal army under General Dix—who occupies the city after the fashion in which the Russian Generals, occupy Warsaw is sufficient to restrain the expression of their delight whenever the Northern fleets or armies sustain a reverse. The first intimation of the danger in which General Banks was placed reached Baltimore and Washing ton on Saturday, on which day a portion of his command, under Col. Kenley, a Marylander, at the head of a Maryland regiment, was defeated with severe loss at Front Royal, a position on the She nandoah on the line of the Manassas Gap Railroad to Alexandria. Some over-zealous Secessionists were imprudent enough to express in the streets their satisfaction at the event, and to call it a befit tin gjudgment upon recreant Marylanders, who were traitors to the cause of the South'. This led to ill blood, and to poralar gatherings in the streets. The passions of both parties were violently,aroused, and it was by the merest accident that bloodshed and murder did not result. And when the news of the following up of the first little victory of the Confe derate arms by the defeat of Banks arrived, in the midst of the excitement, the thermometer of the popular temper went up from blood heat to fever heat at one bound, and there was imminent danger that Baltimore would be the theatre of events of which the parallel is only to be found in the blood stained annals of Paris during the " Reign of Ter ror." " Judge Lynch," that ominous public func tionary, who bids fair to override all law but his own in many cities of the Union if this vindictive war is allowed to linger much longer, paraded the streets in the shape of a furious Union mob. Having caught hold of a Southern "sympathiser" in Monu ment-square, there were loud cries to hang him upon a lamp-post, and, a rope having been procured, pre parations were made to carry the threat into execu tion, when a large posse of police opportunely arrived, and rescued the man from death, with the noose around his neck. "Judge Lynch," thus baulked of his victim, retired in bad humour to other quarters of the city,and amused himself by beating Secession• ists with sticks and hunting them through the streets. All the most prominent citizens who had identified themselves with the South kept prudently out of sight, and many of them barricaded them selves in their house, and stood ready armed with their whole household to resist any attack that might be made upon them. Such is the popular frenzy, exasperated as it is by the violence of the women of all classes, high and low, that General Dix will have a harder tax than ever to keep Baltimore in order, even should Jackson, elated with his victory, not suddenly make his appearance at the gates to de mand its surrender. The President, on Sunday afternoon, on receipt of the telegrams announcing the retreat of Banks and the mischief brewing at Baltimore, issued a pro clamation by which he took military possession of all the railroads in the United States, and directed the officials to hold themselves in readiness for the transport of troops and munitions of war, to the exclusion of all other business. The Governor of the State of New York was equally prompt, and immediately on the arrival of the news at Albany ordered the sth New York Volunteer Artillery and the 7th Regiment of the New York State Militia to proceed to Washington on the morrow for the defence of the capital. Last night at 8 o'clock the 7th Regiment—the deflyi flying nr a gt n h d ea nvde work,r ydrp drums u sd m a rs—r beating,e w h e a d s and flags the re s crackf u l fully equipped regiment down Broadway, amidst the enthusiastic plaudits of an immense crowd that lined the thoroughfare, and of a crowd of ladies, equally enthusiastic, who filled every win dow and balcony commanding a view of their march. It thence proceeded to the ferry at the foot of Courtland.street, across the Hudson river to the 'railway station, and travelled all night to Washington. The same eagerness is displayed in other States and cities, and it is certain that the President can gather around him a quarter of a million of militiamen for the defence of Washing ton if he needs them. In the meantime everybody is asking how Gen. Banks was brought into this scrape. No one seems to blame him in any way for the defeat he has suf fered, seeing that he had but 4,000 men, and Jack son from 15,000 to 18,000. The result is traced to the interference of Mr. Secretary Stanton, who de prived General Banks of two-thirds of his army at a time when he ought to have known that the Con federate force in the valley of the Shenandoah had been largely increased, and taken up a position alike strong for attack or defence. It appears to have been deemed expedient at Washington to reinforce Gen. M'Dowell at Fredericksburg—probably with the view of enabling him to co-operate with M , Clellan in some movement against Richmond; consequently the divisions of Generals Shields and Geary were withdrawn from Bank's army on the 15th, and Banks left with 4,000 men. The Presi &tit seems to have had some misgiving about the matter, after the mischief had been done, and started suddenly from Washington on Friday last to visit General M'Dowell at his head-quarters. He had scarcely returned to Washington on Saturday when the first intimation of the impending evil reached him in a despatch from Gen. Banks at Strasburg, to the effect that Col. lienley'had been defeated at Front Royal. This news was known in New York early on Sunday morning, as well as in Baltimore and Washington, and led most persons who had studied the map, and who knew anything of the state of matters in the Shenandoah valley, to an ticipate f ur th er di sas t ers . Gen. Banks has been already reinforced, and, unless Gen. Jackson be to o doubtless terym e na n attempt d cNve t s o t le o g i a n i t n e r his st loaelatid forground. him, have long tOcivilian G: b een dnmeriat accustomed hba ut t his it shey successfulhave n e a e t r rl a ae t ts rt B e ba a et n e : ni n s c a fo s am. pelled c a e of such enormous ammunition, difficulties, and,o without f h itshe whole loss in, deedwt ho command, is one of the most creditable achieve ments of generalship that the war has yet exhibited. Banks was originally a journeyman blacksmith, afterwards a Member of Congress, Speaker of the House of Representatives and Governor of Massa chusetts. At the outbreak of the civil war ho was engaged in the management of a Western Railway, which position he relinquished to volunteer his ser vices as a soldier in support of the Union. He is a strong anti• slavery man, but, unlike Generals Fre mont, Hunter, and others, has never allowed his sentiments on that question to interfere with his duties as an officer. Till late last night the city was kept in alarm by rumours, which no one could trace to any authority, that General M'Dowell had been compelled to re treat—no one knew how or wherefore. This morn ing, however, there is certain intelligence that in stead of retreating he has advanced eight miles from Fredericksburg on the road to Richmond, to carry out, it is to be supposed, the plan of co-operation with M'elellan which led to his reinforcement at the expense of General Banks, and thus pranced the paroxysm of war fever that has convulsed the whole system. M'Clellan makes no sign, but everybody has . such confidence in his patient saga city and good , fortune that all delays are excused, and he is cheerfully allowed his own time to do his own work, untroubled by any criticism or com plaint. No one seems to think that any calamity can befall him, except, perhaps, the Southern Generals at Richmond and the whole Southern people. It is not likely that many persons in England remember the name or existence of, Governor Andrew of Massachusetts, though there was a time, in the midst of the excitement that arose out of the stupid act of Commodore Wilkes in seizing Messrs. Mason and Slidell on board of the Trent, when his name was known in England in connection with a very violent and foolish speech, in which he " en dorsed" that illegal proceeding, and did his little utmost to stir up discord or war between Great Britain and the United States. The Governor has again made his appearance before the world, and again made himself ridiculous. In answer to the 1 ; President's demand for additional troops, addressed to him in common with all the other Governors of the Northern and Western States, this egregious person took it upon himself to read Mr. Lincoln a lecture on the ethices of the war, and virtually to deny the riglit of the President to call upon Mas sachusetts for any more soldiers, unless he would " sustain General Hunter" and emancipate the negroes of the South. He said that the call upon Massachusetts was so " sudden and unexpected," that " he had not the materials for an intelligent reply," that the young men of the State " were pre-occupied with other views," but might be got together in "forty days," provided the Govern ment at Washington would send them arms and equipments .; and that they did not want to go to the South " unless they could fight with God and human nature on their side"—in other words, un less the Southern negroes were armed and set free to fight alongside of them. From all this it was abundantly clear that Mr. Andrew is one of those who only care for the restoration of the American Union if it can be restored after his own fashion ; that he either does not understand that to make the war an abolition war would certainly which President spite of defeat and Davisprolong d e it el a f r o e r t h h e e 5 2 5 0 e years w wage g e it daring m discouragement, or that he considers the emancipa tion of the negroes in the South and the ruin of the Southern planters to be results worth the unspeak able miseries that such a war would entail, and not the least of them the loss of the liberties of white men, both of the North and the South ; and that, in short, he is as much of a Secessionist as Mr. Jefferson Davis himself, though he bases his argu ments on an opposite theory. The Boston papers have been warmly repudiating all participation in the Governor's opinions, and declare his statements to be a libel upon the people of their State. But the Governor, it appears, had some bowels of com passion after all. It was only in the day of pros perity that he thought he could snub his superior, and at the first reverse to the national arms he hastened to show himself merciful, and to let the question of emancipation drop for awhile, or as long as Washington was supposed to be in danger. On Sunday evening, in the first flush of excitement at learning by telegraph the defeat of General Banks, he issued a second proclamation, without a word on the slavery question or any of the irritating topics which he touched upon in his first, and called upon the men of Massachusetts " to oppose with fiery zeal and courage patriotism the progress of the foe"—" that wily and barbarous horde of traitors to the people, to the Government, to the country, and to liberty, who had routed Major-General Banks and were marching upon Washington." The people, who were angry at the first proclamation, found time to laugh at the magniloquence of the second, and the young men of Boston, to the num ber of upwards of 3,000, assembled yesterday even ing on Boston-common, fully armed and equipped, to take the rail for Washington, thus stultifying the Governor's first proclamation, and teaching him—if he have a mind to be taught—that the Abolitionists, whom he represents, are but a small and unin fluential class. THE NAVY. Letters received at Plymouth from Vancouver's Island state that the screw steam frigate Topaze, 51, Capt. the Hon. John W. S. Spencer, had left on the Ist of May for Valparaiso. The flagship Buc chante, 51, Rear-Admiral Sir T. Maitland, was at Panama. Capt. the Hon. G. D. Keane, of the screw steam corvette Charybdis, was at Vancouver's Is land, where he was likely to remain some months. Provisions were very dear in the island. The trip of the iron screw steamship Warrior, 40, Capt. the Hon. A. A. Cochrane, on Friday last, out side Plymouth Sound, was not, in respect of the speed attained, quite so satisfactory as could be de sired ; but her bad trim, the foul condition of her bottom through her long stay in Hamoaze, and other minor disadvantages, may possibly account for this. Capt. A. C. Key, C. 8., at the head of the Steam Reserve ; Mr. John Trickett, Chief Engineer from Keyham Steam-yard ; and Mr. J. Edwards, Assist.-Master Shipwright from Devonport Dock yard, were on board. Commander H. Paul, assist.- master-attendant, navigated the ship through the harbour. A scutherly wind was blowing with a force of from 7 to 8, and frequent and heavy showers fell. Four steam tugs took the Warrior to the Sound, where they were cast off. She then went round the Eddystone and back in two and a half hours, or at the rate of about 12 knots per hour. The engines worked very smoothly, and, it is said, attained on one occasion a development of 4,000 horse power. Although it was what is called a dirty day the Warrior made good weather of it. There was v ery little difference on Friday between her draught of water forward and aft, while on for mer trials sha was usually 18in. by the stern, which seems to be her proper trim. During her stay at Devonport several alterations have been made, some of them for the purpose of diminishing the weight forward. The bowsprit has been reduced in diame ter and shortened 24 feet ; the jib-boom has been shortened seven feet. One cathead and fish davit have been provided on each side to bring the anchors 20 feet further aft. The anchors, how ever, have not yet been tatted to theta. Side-heads have been fitted for use when foul weather prevents the seamen from going forward. The Warrior has also been supplied with towing bollards on the quarter-deck, and with two new capstans, much stronger than those previously on board, one is of wood, the other of iron, Brown and Lennox's patent. Complaints having been made by the crew that there were at times strong draughts of wind and occasional leakage of the sea through the ports t h os e on one side have been made water-tight , with indiarubber, and those on the other with fear- N e w pipes have also been fitted for con ethe slain deck to the bilges the leak age which might e nter the p orts when fi g hting the o y u i g n h g t . from guns in heavy weather. Some 70 tons of bricks and mortar have been built into the bottom of the ship, to prevent the lodgment and consequent stag nation of bilge -water. The numerous valves which are inserted in the lower portions of the various sections of the Warrior are necessarily shorter down ward than the divisions; or, in other words, the valves cannot conveniently be made to descend to the angles in the bottom of the ship. Now, the bilge and waste water which becomes stagnant is that which lodges in the bottom between the sec tions, where it remains undisturbed, and soon be comes putrid. Here it is that the masonry has been applied. All the leakage and waste-water will now be raised to one common level, and also to one common suction. Six additional Downton's pumps have been added to clear the leakage from the water-tight compartments, and sluice valves have been fitted to the various bulkheads fore and aft: By these arrangements it is expected that scarcely a gallon of water can hereafter accumulate in any part of the vessel, a very great desideratum in an iron ship of such immense strength, and, conse quently, complicated construction, as the Warrior. In connection with the engines and machinery, the only work of any importance executed since her stay at Devonport has been the fitting of two pairs of sliding doors to the water-tight bulkhead in the boiler-rooms ; they are put up in a very superior manner, and answer their purpose admirably, one man having suffi cient power to open or close them. The funnel casings have undergone extensive alterations to obtain improved ventilation in the boiler-rooms; these casings have been fitted according to the designs of Mr. Trickett. Daring the run on Friday a marked improvement was discernible, and the arrangement is considered to be the most successful yet tried. The engines and machinery are in a most efficient state. It is expected that the Warrior will leave Plymouth shortly for Queenstown. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Lieu`. W. C. J. Sullivan to the Ajax, additional, for service in the Coastguard; W. Pitt, chief engineer, and J. P. Lloyd and G. W. Robins, first-class assist.-engineers to the Sanspareil.

As soon as the examination of the whole of the guns mounted on the sea defences within the Chat ham district has been completed by Capt. Dyer, the inspector of artillery, the first brigade of the Kent Volunteer Artillery, consisting of six batteries, will commence practice with 68-pounder solid shot and 32-pounder common shell. The authorities have decided that practice with the Armstrong guns will not be made by the Volunteer Artillery this year, but that a supply of Armstrong shot and shell will be issued to the Volunteers next year, provided they are reported to be sufficiently pro ficient. The scientific portion of the Japanese Embassy yesterday paid another visit to Woolwich Arsenal. They remained four hours in the Royal gun fac tories and the carriage department. The whole of the time was employed in taking notes and sketches, and in examining with persevering interest the numerous articles manufactured in the department. A fine paddlewheel steam-sloop belonging to the Dutch Government yesterday arrived at Woolwich for the purpose of conveying the Ambassadors and suite to Holland. The vessel is at present moored off the dockyard, awaiting orders. Capt. Walsh, R.A., promoted from the 4th to the 6th Brigade, in command of 34 non-commissioned officers and privates from Capt.

The corps were then formed ui:incl a u l arterdistanee column, and Col. M'Murdo, especially addressing the University corps, expressed the pleasure he ex perienced in witnessing their performance that day. He did not mean to tell them that their movements were carried out with perfect accuracy or steadiness, but considering the nature of their corps, which was essentially temporary so far as most of its mem bers were concerned, and the many calls on their time which their position in t he Universities neces sitated, he could not but say that much credit was due to their officers and to the men who must have paid no little attention to their drill. He considered the fact of the University corps having suggested and carried out the review of that day as a very important circumstance in connection with the volunteer movement; for these corps were com posed of gentlemen, who when they left the Univer sities would be spread all over the country, and would probably carry the spirit of patriotism which had induced them to become volunteer soldiers during the period of their pupilage into other corps ; and in truth the University Volunteers might be considered in some sense as representative corps. He thought they had done wisely in associating themselves for their field day with a corps so com plete, and from the example of which they might gain so much as the Inns of Court. He thanked them for the zeal and ability which they had dis played, and he congratulated himself on having had the honour of commanding them. Two or three volleys were then fired, and about six o'clock the proceedings of a very interesting and very successful volunteer review concluded. SHAM FIGHT IN PANSHANGER PARK. One of the most successful sham fights that have yet taken place was executed yesterday in Pan shanger Park, Herts, the seat of Earl Cowper. The noble earl, it seems, had offered the use of his grounds, and had challenged Viscount Ranelagh to meet the local corps with: any force that he could collect in the metropolis. The invitation was given, er at least accepted, at a very short notice, other wise a very large number of the London volunteers would no doubt have gladly seized so favourable an opportunity of exhibiting their prowess, but as it was a very considerable body of men were brought by 11.30 a.m. to King's-cross station—that remark able building whose exterior ugliness has been emu lated with such triumphant success by Capt. Fowke. The railway accommodation, it must be confessed was extremely rude. It was contrived out of a num ber of cattle trucks, temporarily fitted with seats ; and when the corps first saw these carriages there were slight symptoms of mutiny. Happily, how ever, they were soon quelled by the reflection that a little hardship was rather desirable than otherwise, as giving the affair a smack of real campaigning. And in truth it could not be helped. Every avail able carriage aecessible to the company was wanted for the ordinary pleasure traffic of the season, and the superintendent had really nothing better to offer. After all, the worst inconvenience the troops had to suffer consisted in the derisive cheers, the cries of the flock, the cries of the herd, with which sundry bumpkins down the line expressed their sense of the joke, as it seemed to them, of treating " the cheap defence of nations" like so much predestined butcher's meat. The weather at starting was capricious enough. Early in the morning it was beautifully fine, but as the first train load reached the little roadside station which is appurtenant to Panshanger there was a smart shower. It very soon cleared up, however, and nothing could be more beautiful than the day, save that, soon after the end of the mancouvres there was another gentle hint of the extreme un pleasantness that might have resulted had the un lucky volunteers been pursued once more by their usual malign fortune. There were not many spec t:.tors in the earlier part of the day, but as the afternoon wore on considerable numbers of the good people of Hertfordshire found their way into the park. Lord Palmerston was there on horseback from the very first, looking younger and more active than ever. There were also present—Lady Pal merston, the Countess and the Ladies Florence and Adine Cowper, the Marchioness of Salisbury, the Marquis Townshend, the Earl of Verulam (Lord- Lieutenant), Lord and Lady Dacre, &c. Colonel Morris, Deputy Inspector of Volunteers, WO like wise on the ground. The local corps present were the Ist and 2d com panies of the Ist Hertfordshire corps under the command of Captain the Hon. F. Cowper and Cap tain Gripper ; the 2d or Watford corps, Captain Reginald Capel ; the 6th or Bishop Stortford corps, Captain Houblon ; the 9th or Ware corps, Captain Cass; the 10th or Roystock and Baldock corps, Captain Simpson ; the 10th or Cheshunt corps, Capt. Goodliffe ; and the 12th and Hitchin corps, Lieut, Smith. The corps from London comprised portions of the Engineers, the Tower Hamlets corps, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Money; the South Mid dlesex, Lieut.-Col. Macleod of Macleod ; the South Middlesex, Lord Ranelagh ; the 2d administra tive battalion (Barnet, Hackney, &c.), Lieut.-Col. Williams ; the 39th Middlesex, Capt. Crawley ; the Volunteer Guards, Captain Bruce; the Vic torian Rifles, Capt. Greenhill; the St. George's Rifles, Lieut.-Col. C. Lindsay : the 19th Middlesex (or Working Men's College . Corps), Lieuadl: Bathurst ; the West Middlesex, Lord stock ; the Artists' Corps, Col. Phillips ; thedß29th Middlesex (St. Pancras, &c.), Col. Whitehesata(been ing his first public appearance since be ha wdd k l the command of the corps) ; and the 40th e sex, Lieut.-Col. Somerset. There was alsoa de tachment from the Camb rid g eshire Mounted Rifles, 50 or GO sabres strong, under the command of Capt. Pemberton. The local corps being too weak to resist the imposing detachments sent down from London, Lord Ranelag h, in the spirit of ai chivalry, made over to them the 19th Middlesex, the West Middlesex, the Artists', the 29th, and the 40th Middlesex. This divided the force into two nearly equal bodies, each mustering about 1,200 VOLUNTEER REVIEWS. UNIVERSITY CORPS. Yesterday the Rifle Volunteer Corps of the Uni versities of Oxford and Cambridge, with whom were brigaded the Inns of Court Corps, were re viewed in Hyde-park by Col. Murdo, inspector general of volunteers. A large space of ground, extending from the Bayswater side of the park to Grosvenor-gate on the one side, and close to the road abutting on Kensington-gardens on the other, was enclosed with iron hurdles, and formed a spa. cious and convenient area for the operations of the day. The Cambridge volunteers were invited to luncheon by the Oxford corps at the Great Western Hotel, and shortly after three o'clock the latter corps marched on to the ground and took up a position with their left upon the Bayswater side of the park, facing Grosvenor-gate. They were fol lowed in a very short time by the Cambridge, who took ground on the right, but with a large interval between them which was supposed to have been left to be filled up by the Inns of Court. Some little de lay occurred before this regiment appeared, but they marched in at the same time that Colonel M'Murdo arrived, and took up a position in the rear of the other two corps, wheeled into line and halted. The reason of this was soon obvious, as the Cambridge countermarched to the rear, the Inns of Court moved up, and the line was formed, the latter being on the right, the Cambridge in the centre, and the Oxford on the left. After the usual passing of the staff down the line, the marching past took place. It should be said that the Inns of Court mustered eight companies, about 400 strong, and the Oxford and Cambridge, six companies each, so that they were together about 600 strong. A full battalion was then made up, and as they stood in line they presented a very fine appearance, and at a glance it would have been thought that their numbers were greater than they actually were. The marching past was well done, the merit being appor tionable much in the order of position, that is to say, the Inns of Court the best, the Oxford the second, and the Cambridge the third. Having been formed into quarter distance columns en echelon, a position was taken with the Bayswater road, in th e . rear, and the Oxfords were thrown out as skir cilities of cepting that, in order to exhibit the fa m i s h er operations , eo v covering n a g f advance field-day a o y f the we r line, r and ried t o h u. e t. ; ordi naryex n a g c each corps we were the In the second instance the Cambridge Inns of Court per skirmishers, and in the last the I re in carried di ff different e e n a t evolutions, the e th d e formed that duty. f a e n e e n P t r p e o e i e n e tt the University corps skirmished but the Inns of Court had the advantage of There is no r doubt a t b h l a y t w h e o l t l h : reviewing officers, a n d see ing them from t hat p oint of view the y certainl y seem ed to do b e ing best seen by the pe bled near the sta tion of the r f o s aio sounrnmtdbs by ydat w p b h fsi adog o itiurth w aytrt. e hoe r serr e s ueh a yx s en s cilt e ivhn m t eenards.

It is due to all the corps to say that their file firing was ex cellent; rapid and sustained in an extraordinary degree. To the movement of the Inns of Court above mentioned succeeded a well-executed deploy H - r 61 - 4_, -.GA__ 6- the discomfited foe - is relaforeed from the left, and the assault renewed. This time the; patriots arc beaten; but they are neither discouraged nor dis mayed. They retire on the London road, where they concentrate and prepare themselves to offer battle again. The invaders _rush over the bridge and form on the height south of the stream. The invaders begin a terrific attack on them with the bayonet, , but they, make no impression :on the ram part of British breasts at which they so madly rush, and after a few moments' hand-to-band fight ing they are driven buck. They are then forced to m Ake a . 'stand on their first position, from which they make . a new attack. This again succeeds, and the defenders arc compelled bit by bit to change their front on their left, the right thrown bank. Beyond this, however, nothing is done. The battle may be said to have been urged epto Marte ; the commanders swear a peace, and the mimic v,etrfure changes into a holiday procession of the corps, which march in order past the lord-lieutenant of the county (the Earl of Verulam), and the whole proceedings terminate in a real attack upon sundry barrels of mighty ale, which by the thoughtful libe rality of Lord Cowper have been placed under the greenwood tree for the refreshment of the weary warriors. a n e d r t he d i rm es e r s a p h e l The various evo l ut i ons in this rather i ntr i cate c p o r m o g m r a a m n m der e s we a y cti e v x e ee s u ta t ff ed s, L by or t d h ß e atnweo la gh having for his adjutant -general Capt. Atchelor, his quartermaster-general Captain Mallack, of the Ist Middlesex Light Horse, and for his aides•cle camps Major Thorpe, of the Tower Hamlets, Capt. Templer, of the Ist Dorsetshire, and Sergeant Harris, Ist Devon Light Horse. Earl Co , o xper s brigade-major was Captain Toesland, his ad jutant-general Colonel Butler, and his aid es the Earl of Tankerville and Major Taylor. The men behaved with great steadiness. The firing had a determination, rapidity, and pertinacity about it that was almost alarming, even with the know ledge that nothing more deadly was in use than blank cartridges. The bayonet charges were also admirably executed ; and the cavalry made several episodical charges of a most ferocious character. The only failure was the bridge making. The river was so shallow that the pontoons kept getting aground in a most embarrassing manner. Indeed, but for the energy and fertility of resource exhi bited by a sergeant-major (name unknown), who in the most reckless manner dashed into the stream and shoved the boats into position, the bridge would probably not have been constructed at all. As it was it was only used by the engineers themselves to cross. The marching of all the corps was creditable, an d of many it was first-rate. Not to make any invidious distinctions, we may, perhaps, be allowed to add that the local corps came no whit behind the best of those from London, a circumstance which raises the gratifying presumption that the volunteer force of the country generally is in a state of con siderable efficiency. A FLOOD IN THE FENS. A day of disaster came—eight days of disaster, which seemed like a doom in rebuke of pride. On the morrow of St. Martin, 1236, there was a gale which seemed as if it never would subside. The longer it blew the higher rose the sea, till the popu lation was all on the watch to see where it would break in first. It rolled in a long way before it made a breach, and then it surged over into Wis beach, and on and on, till there was no escape for many of the people, or for their cattle. Bodies of men, women and children floated to and fro amidst the carcases of oxen and horses, and boats were driven hither and thither, out of reach when most wanted. For eight, days and nights the gale con tinued; and when wind and water calmed down the people were ruined. Great efforts were made to repair the breaches and drain the lands ; and all seemed safe again when, in 1253, the same misfortune happened again. The king then com manded that the repairs should be well executed and it is probable that the inhabitants did as well as anybody then knew how ; but the case of the shifting soil, the peat, now swelling and now sink ing, the incalculable pressure of the water when changes were made, far or near, was too hard for the knowledge and skill of the time and the people. For centuries there was a succession of inundations at very unequal intervals, and invariably a new settlement between, with fresh hopes that the em bankments were at last secure. There were strifes also among the inhabitants when, from time to time, some great man threw water over upon a neighbour's land to drain his own. The courts decided, now for one side and now for the other ; and there was a pulling down of dykes, and obliteration of new channels and restoration of old ones. We have plenty of evidence of the mischief done, and of the wonderful energy of the people in returning to lice on lands so often drowned. In digging, we find here the floor of a house, there trunks of large trees ; and again, a churchyard, or a stackyard, or a bit of paved street or causeway, or a group of boats, sunk in the silt. A smith's forge has been found in one place, and a line of tan-pits in another ; and a cart-wheel, and articles of human dress, distinctive of several reigns. — Once a Week. MURDER AT BRIGHTON.
