THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. NEW YORK, JUNE 24. (Per Africa via Queenstown.) The steamship Etna arrived at New York, and the Arabia at Halifax, Jane 24. The following have been received concerning the reported battle at Charleston : Fortress Monroe, June 23, 8.30 a.m. The Metamora arrived from City Point late last night. The Richmond papers of Saturday contain a brief account of a bloody battle fought on Monday last between five Federal regiments and a battery of Parrott guns, and parts of four Confederate regi ments and a battery. The battle lasted all day, with heavy loss on both sides. The Charleston Mercury feared the battle would be renewed the next day, and expressed apprehen sions for the safety of the city in consequence of the great exLaustion of the Southern troops and the loss of many officers. _ _ Memphis, June 21. A special despatch to the Augusta papers from Charleston, on the 16th June, says : _ " A severe battle took place this morning on James Island, four miles from this city. Five re giments of Federals with artillery attacked our batteries at Secessionville. Colonel Lamar com manded the Confederates, and with a few hundred men repulsed the enemy three times with great slaughter. The enemy fought bravely, but was defeated. Oar victory was complete. The enemy's loss is supposed to be about 400, including 30 pri soners. Oar loss is estimated at from 50 to 100. Colonel Lamar was wounded. Captains Reed and King and Lieutenant Edwards were killed. The attack will soon be renewed. The Confederates are much exhausted by the previous shelling of the enemy day and night for a week." The Charleston Mercury of the 17th says :—" The Confederate loss at Secessionville yesterday was 40 killed and 100 wounded. We buried on the field 100 Federals and took 40 prisoners. _ _ The following despatches have been received from General M'Clellan's head-quarters:— Major-Gen. M'Clellan's Head-quarters, June 22. The Richmond papers of yesterday contain a despatch from Montgomery, Alabama, dated the 17th, stating that General Beauregard and staff had arrived there on their way to Richmond, and it was said they were to be followed by a large portion of the army of the Mississippi, and that a sufficient force had been left under the invincible Bragg to check any advance of the Vandals under HaHeck. The Charleston Mercury of the 18th gives a graphic description of an engagement on James Island, in which it acknowledges a severe loss on both sides without any material change in position. " Fortress Monroe, June 21. "We learn to-day from the army of the Potomac that quite a skirmish took place on the 19th June between the 20th Indiana Regiment in General Kearney's division and the rebels, which lasted for more than an hour. " The Indiana boys stood their ground, and sus tained very slight loss. Lieut. Carr, Ist Company, and three privates were wounded. In the after noon the regiment was complimented by General Kearney for its bravery and discipline. This is the regiment that was nearly sacrificed at Chicamico mico, North Carolina, early in the operations on that coast, under Colonel Hawkins, and which has been until lately attached to Gen. Wood's division." (" Official.) " Washington, June 21;War Department. " Order to Encourage Enlistments. "Pursuant to a joint resolution of Congress to encourage enlistments in the regular army and vo lunteer forces, it is ordered that a premium of two dollars shall be paid for each accepted recruit that volunteers for three years or during the war, and every soldier who hereafter enlists either in the regular army or the volunteers for three years or during the war may receive his first month's pay in advance upon the mustering of his company into the service of the United States, or after he shall have been mustered into and joined a regiment already in the service. " This order will be transmitted to governors of !states and recruiting officers. "E. M. STANTON, Secretary of War." _ Despatches from Corinth state that the railroad from that place is open to about eight miles from Grand Junction, and it was expected that the road would be open to Columbus and Memphis by the 25th June. _ _ It is positively stated that General Beauregard turned over his command to General Bragg on the 15th June. General Beauregard left for Montgo mery, where he arrived on the 17th, accompanied only by his personal staff. One report states that he goes to take command at Richmond, and another that he goes to Richmond to explain the cause of the evacuation of Corinth. The Federal commander at Memphis had issued an order requiring the board of aldermen, mayor, recorder, and all other city officials to take the oath of allegiance within three days, and in default they will be regarded as sympathisers with seces sion, and treated as traitors. The fillowing is a further account of the fight w ith ize rebel battery on White River : " Memphis, June 19. On the 17th the gunboats St. Louis, Mound tJity, Lexington, and Conestoga, and the transport New National, having on board the 46th Indiana Regiment, Colonel Fitch, which left here a week ago to open communications with the army o f General Curtis and remove the obstructions from White River, ascended that stream. The gunboat Mound City, Captain Kelly commanding, was about a mile and a half in advance. _ . "In the bend of the city, near St. Charles, two concealed batteries opened on the Mound City. Her decks were immediately cleared for action, and as soon as the range of the rebel works could be obtained, the Mound City opened her guns upon them. Capt. his s elty meantime signalled to Colonel Fitch to landd secom for r ce below the fort, which was successfully and St. gs The Lexingtonm h p ion Col t. Louis shelled the works, under cover of At this juncture gained the rear of the rebel position. a ball from a rebel gun on the Bluff struck the forward and port side of the Mound City, the casemates, and passing through the steam dram on b zh a the escaping which immediately beca me fiuea r n:_of the vessel, ofacers the Mound vapour. Nearly every one City was scalded; only 23 of the escaped out of 175 scalded. The scen e Which ensued d crew h w l e v re was terrible in th e extreme. Man y o f the and crew, frantic with pain, ja m p ed overboard Which drowned. Boats from t he Conestoga coming up at the time to s u pp ort the Mount City, were sent to their relief, but t he rebels fired on the men in the water with grape and canister from thei r field-pieces, murdering most of those who were at tempting to escape. Being apprised of the state of affairs in the river, Col. Fitch with his regiment pushed forward and carried the fort by storm at the point of the bayonet. The rebel works consisted of two batteries, the lower one mounting six field pieces, and the upper one three heavy field pieces, managed by from 400 to 500 men, under the com mand of Col. Frye, lato of the United States navy. About 200 of the rebels are said to have escaped. Over 150 aro reported killed and wounded, and:3o taken prisoners. Among the prisoners is Colonel Frye, who was wounded in the shoulder. " From 80 to 100 of our sailors have been buried, and over 20 are missing. Col. Fitch reports but few of his men wounded and none killed, and but for the unfortunate accident on board the Mound City the rebel works would have . out loss on our side " The following in New York : news, dated Aspinwall, June 14, has been received " Mosq uera has at last conc l u d e d to bring the Isthmus under his at control. On the sth June a schooner arrived t J illwall, bringing 80 sol diers, and on the 7thot additional force of 130 mo re in another schoone r , _ ~u t; to his 11 under th e comma nd of G e l. San tae olonia. Av_' gl first announce ment these troops were only to Buenaventura through on their way to Panama Panama having i oterm en a ,t.ura, but the Governor o f ssession of ` l°ll that th • object was to take pa E„ aratt, r _ en- Col. Trottel]) agent of tho Pacific I;4;4,r:quested "", not to give them transit. He then issued a proclamati on calling on the citizens to arm themselves, and erected barricades throughout the city. is many families fled into the country, but the s ympathy of most of the inhabitants was with Mos quera, while many joined his forces. Col. Santa colonia went in person to Panama, and assured the Governor that his only object was to prevent the repetition of such outrages as were lately commit ted by armed men under Gen. Sumner; that Gen. Herran is known to be taking steps for possessing the State, which he wishes to prevent, and carry out the decrees of Mosquera. "The governor replied to these arguments that the force under his command are unable at any time to prevent the passage of troops such as he re ferred to, or to contend with the naval force always kept at Panama by the United States ; that he will carry out all the decrees of Mosquera not conflict ing with the Guardo-Murillo treaty, which, though not ratified, he will wait the action of the Govern • ment upon, and would not consent to the troops entering the city upon any consideration. " Colonel Santacolonia immediately sent back a schooner to Carthagena for instructions and more troops. The governor at last finding he would not be able to enforce his policy, and a negro out break threatening, entered into a compromise by which the troops were to go over Panama, on the 14th inst. The crew of the steamer Saranac, United States navy, were in readiness to land for the protection of American property, but the com mander declared he would not otherwise interfere in the squabble. The Tenago was also there to protect the British consulate. Business was entirely suspended in Panama." The following is a summary of the proceeding in Congress : In the Senate, on Jane 22, after the presentation of petitions, a bill providing for the admission of the State of Western Virginia into the Union was re ported from the committee on territories. A bill to establish certain national arsenals was reported from the military committee. The bill for the better go vernment of the navy was passed after the adoption of several amendments. The bill providing for an additional oath of office was passed with only five dissenting votes. The committee of conference on the Tax Bill made a report, which was concurred in by the Senate. The House Confiscation Bill was taken up, and pending a motion to substitute the Senate Bill the Senate went into executive session, and afterwards adjourned. The bill to authorise an additional issue of Trea sury notes was considered in committee of the whole, but only one section of it was acted upon. The house also agreed to the report of the conference committee on the Tax Bill, and it now goes to the President for his signature. 7HE NAVI'. A division of men from the'lndus, in Hamoaze, will assist in navigating the Severn, 51, from Sheer ness to Plymouth. The crew of the screw steam frigate Liffey, 51, Capt. S. W. Preedy, C. 8., were inspected on Friday by Port Admiral Sir Houston Stewart, K.C.8., and on Saturday the vessel left Plymouth Sound for Hamoaze, where she will be dismantled and placed in the third division of the steam reserve. The French Imperial steam yacht Prince Jerome, with Prince Napoleon on board, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from the Thames, and after steaming through the Channel Fleet anchored at the eastern part of the anchorage. The Prince declined to land, and the yacht, after a stay of two hours, weighed her anchor, and after again steaming round the Channel Fleet, left for Cherbourg. Her Majesty's paddle yacht Victoria and Albert, Capt. G. H. Seymour, C. 8., went out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday, and anchored off Osborne, in readiness to embark to-day their Royal Highnesses the Prince Louis and Princess Alice of Hesse, and suite, for conveyance to Antwerp. Capt. Aldersparre, of the Swedish frigate Norr koping, anchored at Spithead, was yesterday intro duced officially to the military and naval authorities of the port and garrison by the Chevalier Vanden bergh, the Swedish and Norwegian Vice-Consul at Portsmouth. To-day the officers of the Norrkoping will visit the dockyard and other public establish ments at Portsmouth. The last timber of the new stern being given at Portsmouth dockyard to the Royal Sovereign shield ship was placed in position yesterday. In our for mer notices of the progress of the conversion of this ship from a 131-gun three-decker to a 10-gun shield ship, doubts have been expressed as to the capa bilities of this huge ship to carry her five shield towers when completed, owing to her having been cut down to her lower deck planking. This would necessitate the placing of one of the shield-towers on the fore stokehole hatchway, and another on the engine-room hatchway. It appears that our fears in this respect have been verified, for it Is now intended to give the ship only four shield towers,instead of the five originally proposed. A court-martial assembled yesterday, on board H.M.S. Victory, at Portsmouth, to try Henry M'Coy, a seaman belonging to H.M.S. Rapid, on a charge of striking and biting George Bird, quarter master of the same ship, on the 28th ult. The charge was found proved, and the prisoner was sen tenced to receive 48 lashes, to be imprisoned in Lewes Gaol for six months with hard labour, and at the expiration of the imprisonment to be dis missed from her Majesty's service with disgrace.l Yesterday a number of mechanics presented them selves at Chatham Dockyard for entry at that esta blishment to supply the places of those now on strike, it being now definitely understood that under no circumstances will any of the turnouts be again employed. The applicants for work were all in spected by the master shipbuilder, and several were at once entered and placed on the Achilles. There , is no doubt whatever that the entire number of hands required to succeed the men on strike will be soon obtained, notwithstanding the attempts of the turnouts, aided by the emissarieslof the trades' so ciety, to prevent the Admiralty from obtaining workmen. Since the strike the shipwrights placed on the Achilles have been employed as riveters and platers—branches of the trade in which it was never intended to employ them had it not been for the attempted coercion of the hired mechanics. As it is, the new hands are making very satisfactory pro- 1 gress, considering the work is altogether new to them, and the officials engaged in superintending the building of the iron frigate state confidently that in a very short time the work done by the shipwrights will not be in the slightest degree in - ferior to that of the trade mechanics. Yesterday the second of the large machines to be used in bend ing the armour plates of the Royal Oak and Achilles, while hot, was completed at the factory under the s uperintendence of Mr. Armstrong, the machine being : Precisely th e same as t h at use d in preparing 1: e armou r plates f or th e W arr i or .

The following ships have been chartered by the a Ron. Council for India for the conveyance of trooPs THE SUN, LONDON, FUESDAY EVENING, JULY 8, 186 2. and stores to Calcutta, Bombay, and Madras :—The screw steamer Mauritius, 300 horse power ; the Sydenham, the Newcastle, the Adamant, the War rior Queen, the St. Lawrence, the Clyde, the Eloisa, the Raby Castle, the Conflict, and the Middlesex. The above vessels will embark the artillery at Wool. wich, and the remainder of the reinforcements at Gravesend. The Agra, one of the vessels chartered by the Government to convey troops to Kurrachee, has since been inspected and condemned. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. G. G. Duff, to the Resistance, for gunnery duties; T. B• Jordan and J. Rankin, acting Second Class Assist.-Engineers, to the Cumberland, as supernumeraries; and W. G. Paige, acting Second Class Assist.-Engineer, to the Asia, as supernumerary. yesterday in the !shooting by Hogg, Ist , 'Peebles, and M. Gibbon, 14th Edinburgh.- The Oxford and Cambridge Match, alt} mugh not so exciting as that of the Lords and Co morons or that of the Public Schools on Satu rda:,y, was not without a considerable amount of ge ner al interest. There was no prize, the competition laeing for the palm of victory. Each university sent eight men to support its honour, and each man had three shots at 200, 500, and 600 yards rasp actively. A few ladies were present, and owing to this fact, and the rough, uncourteous conduct of a person wearing the Queen's uniform, said to ,be a Cap tain Drake, of the Royal Engineers, we are unable to give any details of the con test. The person referred to, seein g some re presentatives of the press standing at a little dis tance from the firing parties, and ima gluing pos sibly that they might in some incorn prehensible way obstruct the view of the score of lad. ies and half a score of gentlemen who were accommo dated with seats inside the ropes, without one word o f previous request, told a policeman to "Turn those roporters out." Notwithstanding their protest against this treatment, they were obliged to betake themselves to positions beyond the ropes, and by so doing lost all opportunity of accurately recording the results of an interesting contest. The following is the official return : Oxford, at 200 yards, 128; Cambridge, do., 150. Oxford, at 500 yards, 93 ; Cambridge, do., 120. Oxford, at 600 yards, 309 ; Cambridge, do., 373. Thus there was a majority of 64, hits and points included, in favour of Cambridge. The competition for the first series of extra prizes, which has been running on since Thursday, con cluded to-day with the following results, according to the official returns :- 600 Yards.—Nosworthy, Ist Oxford; and Salt, 2d Derby; 18 each. Barker, Ist Lincoln ; Fraser, 7th Inverness ; Starkie, Queen's Westminster ; Cooper, 16th Middlesex ; and Dillon, School of Musketry ; 16 each. 800 Yards.—Richard, Jersey Militia; Smith, Victoria Rifles ; and Halford, 31st Leicester; 19 each. Dillon, School of Musketry; Rogers, and Parker, 22d Middlesex; 18 each. Heaton, 3d Man chester ; Simons, 2d Middlesex; Smith, Edinburgh ; Ross, Cambridge University ; and Walker, School of Musketry ; 17 each. Ties will be shot off to-day. _ The Rifle Oaks opened yesterday, the entrance fee being a guinea. It will run on again to-day, and at the conclusion the amount of the - entries will be divided among the three best shots; the highest score taking one -half, the second best three-fifths of the other half, and the third best shot the two re maining fifths. The Association Cup contest was resumed yester day, and some good scores were made ; among these Lord Bury made five bull's-eyes, at 500 yards, but unfortunately his lordship had previously made a bad score at the short range of 200 yards, so that he stood no chance of obtaining the prize. For the Lord Vernon's Prize, Mr. Turner, Ist Stafford, using a Turner rifle, made 7 bull's-eyes successively, or a total score of 28, at 500 yards, a most extraordinary feat. The other contests of the day require no comment in their present stages. The new features of to-day's programme will be the second stage of the Queen's Prize—in which the shooting will be by the 40 best shots of the first stage, at 800, 900, and 1,000 yards ; and the second series of extra prizes. fix on the head of the Government, M. Decazes, who was forced to resign. M. Pasquier then became the real head of the Government, and for two:years withstood the assaults of the Republicans or liberal Royalists, who had for leaders some of the ablest and honestest men of the day, as well as the reac tionists, headed by the Donnadieus, Labourdon nayes, and Castelbajacs, who tried to force into power Villele and Cubiere. M. Pasquier made head against these attacks with courage; he spoke with wonderful facility and effect, and his polished manners and admirable temper, which never once betrayed him even under the greatest provocation, carried him safely through that stormy period. Wearied out by the hostility he encountered not only in Parliament, but in his own Court and in his own family, Louis XVIII. sought to propitiate the ultra• Royalists by withdrawing his obnoxious Minister, and giving his post to M. de Villele, and, as a mark of his esteem and gratitude, he conferred on his outgoing Minister, who had served him faith fully and honestly, the dignity of Peer of France,. M. Pasquier continued to oppose in the Upper Chamber the violent policy which he had opposed while Minister, and which he clearly saw was alienating from the Bourbon dynasty the attach ment of the nation. He gave his support to the Moderate minority of Martignac. M. Pasquier was among the first to adhere to the Monarchy which issued from the Revolution of July. Louis Philippe named him President of the Chamber of Peers. As such he directed the trials which came before it as Supreme Court, and by general consent acquitted himself greatly to his credit on those difficult occasions. He presided, too,, at the trial of Prince Louis Napoleon (now Emperor of the French) and his associates for the Boulogne attempt. After hearing the explanation by the Prince in justification of his conduct, he said that his explanation was anything but favourable to his cause ; that it would have been much better had he dismissed the illusions which had on two occasions placed him in a painful position, and which might have enabled him to judge of the feel ings of the country and of the nation to which he appealed. In 1837 Louis Philippe restored the office of Chancellor of France for the purpose of conferring it on M. Pasquier, and in 1844 he gave him the title of Duke. With the Revolution of February, 1848, ended the public career of Duke Pasquier. He never for a moment, however, ceased to feel deep interest in the affairs of his country, of whose condition in what regards free institutions he cherished no very cheering hopes. He loved to talk of the times when liberty of speech and liberty of the press suffered only such restraints as would now be hailed as a deliverance, and he loved to dwell on the men who, whatever may have been their faults, are still held in respect and honour by all who are themselves en titled to be so. He was one of the last surviving links which connect us with the period preceding the tremendous revolution which uprooted every in stitution, strewed the country with ruins, and con vulsed all Europe ; and the effects of which, for good or for evil, are still felt, and will long be felt. He heard the first muttering of the storm, and saw it sweep away everything, sacred and profane, in its desolating career. He witnessed the early triumphs of the extraordinory man who restored order to dis tracted France after defeating her enemies in the field. He beheld the glories of the first Empire, its crushing despotism, and its merited fall, after having placed continental Europe at its feet. He saw the family of the King, whose scaffold he had also beheld on the Place Louis XV., restored twice to the throne of their ancestors, and again overthrown for faults which he strove, among the foremost, to prevent. Baron Pasquier occupied a distinguished place under the younger branch till it, too, was swept away He saw the republic once more forced on the country against its wishes and sympathies, and its easy overthrow by the prince upon whom he had once sat in judgment. Such mighty events are seldom witnessed in one lifetime, and few who ever saw them as an actor, or merely a spectator, have passed out of the world with a purer reputation than Duke Pasquier. Profoundly versed in administrative science; imbued with the grand old traditions of the French magistracy, he was, as I have already observed, all his life tolerant in politics, liberally conservative, as well as the constant supporter of constitutional authority, and the political trials at which he presided were, by the admission even of his adversaries, conducted by him with moderation and dignity. To the last he remained faithful to his early principles and attach. ments. Hardly ever quitting his house for years past, he held an exceptional position in society. His salons were the favourite resort of the most eminent in politics and letters, and no one will pro bably ever see their like in Paris again. He pre sided there as elsewhere, and to the last days of his life, with the authority due to his character and his age, and with a dignified urbanity which in him was perfectly natural. He saw his end approach with firmness, serenity, and Christian resignation. He spoke calmly, and without ostentation, after ex pressing his regret at separating from those he loved. He often expressed his regret at not wit nessing the solution of the great questions which had occupied him during an existence far beyond the term usually accorded to man, and of incessant activity. He glided out of life calmly and gently, and with hardly any suffering. He leaves as the inheritor of his title and his fortune his grand-nephew and adopted son, the Marquis d'Audiffret Pasquier, having had no issue by his marriage with Madlle. de St. Renan, widow of the Marquis de Rochefort. Duke Pasquier was elected member of the French Academy in 1842, and, besides his other honours, received from Louis XVIII. the Grand Collar of the Order of the Holy Ghost. THE A.IIIIIY. Marshal the Duke de Magenta and a party of distinguished officers of the French army on Satur day made a visit to the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, and were engaged some hours in going over that institution and the Royal Military Asylum. Major-Gen. J. E. Portlock, R.E., has resigned his post as member of the Council of Military Educa tion, from impaired health. He had belonged to the department since its establishment in June, 1857. The following troops arrived at Aldershot during the past week :—The head-quarters of the 37th Re giment (North Hampshire), under the command of Col. E. C. W. M. Milman; the Ist Life Guards, under the command of Lieut.-Col. the Hon. D. C. F. De Ros ; and the 3d battalion of the Grenadier Guards, under the command of Col. the Hon. R. W. P_ Curzon, C.B. The 37th Regiment left Plymouth on Monday, and arrived at Cove on Tuesday, the bands of the sth Fusileers, 64th Regiment, and Ist battalion 60th Rifles meeting them on their arrival at Farnborough, and preced ing them to their cantonments. The strength of the corps is 32 officers, 41 sergeants, and 738 rank and file. The women remain at Plymouth until further orders. The regiment was drawn up on Friday on the Queen's-parade, North Camp, and was inspected by the Lieut.-General commanding, accompanied by his staff. At the conclusion of the inspection the Lieut.-General complimented Col. Milman and the officers and men on the efficient state of the regiment. The Ist Life Guards arrived on Wednesday from Windsor, and are quartered in I and K. lines, North Camp, near the 13th Hussars, The total strength of the corps is 24 officers, 38 corporals, and 307 privates. This corps was also inspected on Friday by Lieut.-Gen. Sir J. Pennefather. They formed in line on Clay cart-ridge shortly before 11 o'clock, and went through various evolutions in presence of the Lieut.-General commanding and Lord George Paget, C. 8., commanding the Cavalry Brigade. The appearance of the men was all that could ,be desired ; the manoeuvres were performed with the usual dash and precision. The 3d battalion of the Grenadier Guards arrived from the Wellington barracks on Thursday, and were met on their arrival at Farnborough Station by the band of the 64th Regiment, who accompanied them to their quarters on Cove Common, where they are under canvass. The strength of the battalion is 19 officers, 23 sergeants, and 523 rank and file. Col. E. C. W. M. Milman, 37th Regiment, has been appointed Brigadier of the 3d Brigade, stationed at Aldershott, as successor to Colonel R. T. Haynes, Bth Regiment. A grand military rifle match is appointed to take place at Ccosar's Camp, Aldershot, on the 22d, 23d, and 24th inst., the programme of which has just been published. Hits are to be reckoned as well as points. A considerable draught of Royal Artillery will leave Warley Barracks for India in a few days. Lieut.-Col. Knox, R.A., has received the com mand of the Royal Artillery in the eastern district, in the rcom of Lieut.-Col. O'Connell, R.A., wbo is under orders for India. Capt.Paget and Lieut. Shoot of the 66th, have received orders to join the depot companies of that regiment, and Ensign Sanders is to proceed to the service companies with a draught from the corps. Col. Dixon, C. 8., is sufficiently recovered from his recent severe indisposition to re sume the command of the 10th depot battalion at the camp at Colchester. It was yesterday announced at Chatham garrison that the appointment of commandant of the 3d depot battalion, vacant by the death of Col. C. E. Fairtlough, has been conferred on Lieut.-Col. the Hon. J. J. Bourke, formerly of the 88th (Connaught Rangers). Yesterday a commencement was made by Messrs. Foord and Sons, the contractors, to whom has been intrusted the work, of erecting additional barracks at Chatham for the officers and men of the Royal Marines of that division. The new barrack build ings are to be erected on the vacant piece of ground on which the Army and Navy Hotel and numerous other houses formerly stood, all of which were purchased by the Admiralty and taken down. It is intended to erect 211arge and commodious bar rack rooms, each 46 feet in length, and the whole capable of accommodating 600 men, in addition to the number at present quartered at the barracks. There will also be quarters for the Staff, and quar termasters' and other stores are to be erected. The new buildings, which are to be erected from plans prepared under the direction of Col. Greene, Direc tor of Admiralty Works, will be about 18 months in progress. JHE GRAND NATIONAL RIFLE CONTEST. The weather considered, the attendance at Wim bledon yesterday, the fifth of the contest, was quite as numerous as could be expected. Although the programme was rather an attractive one—the most interesting of its items being the match between the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, upon which the attention of visitors was generally con centrated—the weather was as bad as could be de sired in the morning, but cleared in the afternoon, although there was even then rather more wind than was wished for by the competing marksmen. The Oxford and Cambridge competition did not commence till three o'clock, and was preceded by the contests, commencing at half-past 9, for Lord Vernon's prize, Messrs_ Eley's prize, the Oaks, the All Comers, the Association Cup, and the extra prizes, besides the sport at the sighting targets, pool, and the running deer. Besides these, there was the shooting off the ties for the St. George's Vase and the Harold Cup. These were the events earliest decided. With regard to the former, the contest for the vase was confined to Ferguson,of the Ist Inverness, and Leete, of the Queen's Westminsters, each of whom scored 30 in the general contest on Satur day, while seven other volunteers who made 29 had to shoot off their ties to decide the destination of the third and fourth prizes which are awarded under this head. Ferguson now made a bull's-eye with his first shot, beating Leete, who only made a centre, by one point. He therefore takes the St. George's Vase for his battalion, and the gold jewel of St, George, value about £2O, for himself, Leete taking the second prize, a silver jewel of St. George, value £l5 ; while Hemery, 11th Middlesex, takes the honorary distinction of the bronze cross of St. George; and Plaskett, of the Civil Service, a pho tograph of the Vase itself.

Duke Pasquier died at his house (Rue Royale) on Saturday afternoon, in his 96th year. He had suf fered from a slight attack of influenza during the last winter, but had recovered from it, and was able to see his friends and join in their conversation as usual up to the last few days of his life. " The wonderful vitality of his mind deceived us as to his age even to the very last days," observed M. St. Marc Girardin : " He who writes these lines had the honour hardly six years ago of conversing with M. Pas quier, who asked of him to read what he had dic tated but the day before. He made judicious, pointed, and profound observations and revolutions and restorations. What - we read coteealed from us what we saw, and we could hardly believe that this mind, so full of life, so animated, so attentive to the affairs of the world and of our time, and this frame, so weakened, so exhausted, and so near its end, were one and the same person." M. Pasquier sprung from a family that could boast of several eminent magistrates, the most cele brated of whom was the jurist and historian, Etienne Pasquier, who acquired in a moment an im mense reputation by his defence of the University of Paris against the Jesuits in 1564. Duke Pas quier was born in Paris in 1767. He was educated at the once celebrated College of Juilly (Seine et Marne), founded in 1639 by the Oratorian Fathers, who continued to direct it till 1789. On the com pletion of his studies he was named Conseiller do Requetes in the Parliament of Paris; and when the Parliament was exiled to Troyes, in the last years of the monarchy, ho shared its exile. His father, who had filled judicial functions in the same Par liament, was arrested soon after the massacres of the 10th of August, 1792, and, with several of his colleagues, among whom was the father of the late Count Mole, perished on Vie scaffold in April, 1794. The efforts made by young Pasquier to save his father's life drew upon him the suspicio ns o f th e revolutionary tribunals. He was arrested, thrown into prison, and would assuredly have added another to the many victims of that rule of terror but for the fall of Robespierre on the 9th, and his execution, amid the wild exultation of the people, on the 10th Thermidor. Cambaceres, who had risen to the post of Second Consul of the Republic, was then Arch-Chancellor of the Empire ; and had during the time he was Minister of Justica under the Directory an opportunity of estimating the character and merits of Pasquier, and he ap pointed him in 1804 Master of Requests. Ho did not long remain in that subordinate post. He was named Councillor of State and Procureur-General, a Baron of the new Empire, Commander of the Legion of Honour, and, finally, was appointed to the important and delicate post of Prefect of Police, in which by general admission he acted throughout with great moderation. It was while he held this office that the famous Malet made the daring at tempt to overthrow the Government during the Emperor's abs e nce in Russia, and in which he so nearly succeeded. Baron Pasquier's presence of mind on that occasion, though he did not know until he saw Malet at the hotel of the Adjutant- General Doucet that his prisoner had escaped, or that the Mi n i s t er o f P o li ce , Savary, was in the hands of the conspirators, defeated the plan, and the Emperor, on whom this extraordinary affair produced a deeper impression than the disasters of the Moscow retreat, retained him in his post on his return to Paris, After the abdication of Fontainebleau, M. Pas pier recognised the new Government, and did his best to induce the Parisian population to submit to the authority of the Bourbons. On their restora tion he withdrew f rom po liti ca l affairs, but accepted the post of Director-General of the Ponts et Chaus sees. He resigned o n th e return of the Emperor from Elba, and exercised no public function during the Hundred Days. On the second restoration he was offered the post of Keeper of the Seals (Garde des Sceaux) in the first Cabinet formed by Prince Talleyrand in 1815. This Cabinet had but a brief existence ; it was dissolved before the Chamber met. M. Pasquier was elected deputy for Paris and Pre sident of the Chamber in 1816. He joined the Ministry of 1817, and strove in vain to stem the violence of the ultra-Royalist factions which formed the majority of the Chamber., He retired in 1818 with Richelieu. In the following year ho was asso ciated with M. Decazes in the formation of a now Cabinet, in which he held the portfolio of Foreign Affairs. His talent as a Parliamentary debater, found constant employment in defending the mode rate system which he had ever supported against the ex treme parties th a t h a d co alesced for the over throw of the Gov ern ment. During these conflic ts oc curred the mu r d er of the Duke de Berri by Louvel, in February, 1820, and the responsibility of which the reactiouists audaciously pretended to CENSUS OF SCO7LAND. The report which has been issued from the Cen sus-office of Scotland with the population tables, just published, states that it has been ascertained that there are no less than 787 islands around the Scottish coast, taking as the definition of an island that it shall be of sufficient extent to afford pasture to a sheep. 5.39 per cent. of the population -164,994 persons—were found residing on the 186 of these islands which are inhabited by one or more persons. In all Scotland there are about 100 per sons (99.7) to a square mile; 6.41 acres to every person ; but the country is so rugged and mountain ous that it is very questionable whether more than a third of it could ever be rendered arable. The county of Edinburgh has 746 persons to a square mile ; the county of Sutherland only 13. The natu ral rate of increase in Scotland in the ten years 1851-61, by excess of births over deaths, is believed to have been 14 per cent. ; but the population found there in 1861 was only 6 per cent. more than in 1851, so many are the Scotehmen who go elsewhere to better themselves or their fortunes. This large emigration takes away more men than Nvoiaen, and the proportion of females to males was greater in 1861 than in 18M, having risen to 111'2 females to 100 males—a greater excess of women probably than in any European country, and such as must bo prejudicial to the prosperity of the king dom. In England there were only 1052 females to 100 males, but Scotland sends out nearly twice as large a portion of her people as emigrants, and sup plies more than twice as large a proportion to the mercantile navy. But by far the most interesting liportion of these tables is the return of the house accommodation of Scotland. It shows that 7,964 families, more than 1 per cent. of all the 666,786 families of Scotland, were found last year living in single rooms which had no window. But it is re-- marked that if the room was a cottage with an aperture in the roof or wall, to answer the purpose both of window and chimney, it had free ventila tion, and Was more healthy than thousands of the cottages with windows or of the close rooms of the towns. 226,723 families were found living in one room each with one or more windows, but often a mere apology for a window. Thirty-five per cent. of all the families iu Scotland —more than one third —are living in one room. A still larger number, 37 per cent., nearly a quarter of a million of fami lies, live in only two rooms, leaving only 28 per cent. living in houses With three or more rooms. This would hsve seemed incredible if it had not been ascertained on actual inquiry. From the greater fatality of epidemic and contagi ous diseases in Scotland than in England it is thought probable that the proportion of families living in only one or two rooms is considerably less in England. In Scotland the census enumerators found 34,948 families, with four persons in each family, living in one room; 27,519 families, five in a family ; 19,503 families, six in a family ; 12,136 families, seven in a family ; 6,212 families, eight in a family. Glasgow is the greatest city in Scotland. How is its population housed ? Only one family in four in all that vast city have as many as three rooms to live in; 4,024 families, with five persons in each family, have only one room to live in ; 2,450 families with six persons in a family, 1,256 families with seven persons in a family. Paisley and Dundee offer high-paid work, but compara tively few of the working classes can be expected to be living in four rooms and upwards; yet only 87 4 ; per cent., 1 in 12, of the families in those towns occupy three rooms. Who could have believed all this ? It will certainly be felt to be very startling this revelation of the enormous numbers of the class by which mainly the empire is increased living in conditions so demoralising. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, July 7. The July Quarter Sessions of the Peace for the county of Middlesex commenced this morning, at Clerkenweil, before Mr. Bodkin, Assistant-Judge ; Mr. Payne, Deputy ; Mr. Pownall, Chairman ; and a bench of magistrates. The calendar contains the names of 53 prisoners, of whom 18 are charged with misdemeanour, and 35 with felony. The Assistant-Judge delivered the charge to the grand jury. Alfred Valentine Gunnell, 31, clerk, was indicted for embezzling money to the amount of £2O Bs., received by him for and on account of the Commis sioners of the International Exhibition. Mr. Poland prosecuted ; the prisoner was not de fended. The prisoner, it appeared, was a store-clerk at the Exhibition, and was employed to sell books, principally catalogues, and it was his duty to ac count to the chief storekeeper every day, at closing, for the amount he had received. There was a defi ciency found in the stock entrusted to him to the amount stated in the indictment, and he absconded. He was apprehended in Kensington-gardens, by Sergeant Thomas, of the F division of police, and though at first he did not deny the charge, he said when at the Exhibition in custody that he had been deficient in his accounts some weeks, and that Mr. Simmons, the foreman storekeeper in that department, had his I 0 U for £l5, and had given him vouchers for deficiencies. The prisoner had books to the amount of £2O Bs. in value, and every evening had to account for the difference between what he had remaining, and hand over the money he had received, to make the figures £2O Bs., and then his stock was replenished by the amount he had sold. Mr. Simmons denied the prisoner's assertions in toto, and said he never signed any voucher know ing that the prisoner was deficient in his accounts, and never took his I 0 U for any ammout whatever. The prisoner made the same defence to-day. The Jury found him Guilty. Sentence was deferred until next session. Robert Harrison, 42, described in the calender as a gold-lace maker, was indicted for feloniously breaking and entering the dwelling• house of George Seeker, and stealing therein 235 breastpins and other jewellery to the value of £BOO, his property ; he was further charged with receiving the same, feloniously knowing it to be stolen. He was fur ther charged with receiving 4 spoons, the property of Charlotte Blackburn ; for the feloniously receiv ing a watch, the property of John Morgan ; a watch, the property of Thomas Bruce Gardyn ; a watch, the property of Francis Higging ; a watch the pro perty of Charles Newman ; and also other articles of value, the property of divers persons, knowing the same to have been stolen. Mr, Kemp prosecuted; Mr. Tayler defended. The prosecutor, Mr. Seeker, it appeared, is a jeweller, carrying on business at 119, High-street, Camden Town, next to an unoccupied house. On the morning of May 29 it was found that the party wall between the two houses had been cut through, Mr. Seeker's shop entered, and jewellery to the amount of about £BOO stolen therefrom. On June 9 Sergeant Evans, of the G division, proceeded, from information he had received, to the house of the prisoner, 66, Wynyatt-street, Clerkenwell, which had been watched, with another constable, and, on meeting the prisoner in the passage, he said he was an officer, and wanted to speak to him. Evans then took him into a parlour used as a jeweller's workshop, and told him the nature of his errand, and that from what had been ascertained it was believed that he had received a number of watches on the previous Saturday, which had been stolen. The prisoner said he had not; but on the officer telling him he should search the place, he inquired what sort of watches they were he was inquiring about. Evans said he should not tell him, but he had a list. Then he commenced the search. The prisoner said, " Wait a bit, as my wife is dressing, and I'll show you what I have got." They went upstairs to a back bed-room. The prisoner knocked at the door, and asked some one inside to give him his box, upon which a female opened the door and handed out an ordinary box, such as watchmakers use, rather small, but containing seven drawers. On the box being unlocked and examined, it was found to contain a number of watches. The pri soner begged that they might not be mixed, and produced six or seven the bows and pendants of which had been twisted off, and some had the name plates taken off, from which it was to be inferred that other name plates were to replace them. When asked where he got them from, he said he did work for many persons, but he did not know where they lived, or their names. The officer then told him that they had been brought by a man in a horse and chaise on the preceding Saturday, and said it was strange he did not know where that man lived. To that the prisoner replied it was no business of his ; he did not know where he lived. On a further search being made, ten more watches with broken bows were .found, several of them partly taken to pieces, some rings and chains, a valuable chrono meter, the original number of which had been erased, and another substituted. The real name of the maker remained, but as the number had been altered, it could not be traced to whom the maker sold it. Evans found over 200 gold and cameo pins, part of the property taken from Mr. Seeker's, and which were identified subsequently by those by whom they had been made for him, and him alone. The case for the prosecution having been closed, Mr. Tayler addressed the jury at length and con tended that whatever suspicion attached to the pri soner, the evidence did not conclusively show that the prisoner had any knowledge of the fact that these articles had been stolen, and that it was but a fair assumption that he received them in the ordi nary way of business as a working watchmaker and jeweller to repair, as was a common thing in the trade, from persons whose names in most instances were not asked, but who called for them at a speci fied time. The learned counsel then contended that the identity of the pins was not made out, called a number of witnesses who gave the prisoner a very high character for honest and straightforward con duct, and said they had entrusted him with watches, &c., to repair, they were always punctually re turned, and great confidence was reposed in him as a tradesman. They were tradesmen themselves, and sent work to him. Among them were—Mr. Snell, 114, High Holborn ; Mr. Parker, 19, Long acre; Mr. Parfitt, 61, Spencer-street, Clerkenwell ; Mr, Denham, Goswell-road, and ten or twelve others. Mr. Kemp, in reply, said that, admitting—which was no doubt true, according to the evidence ad duced on behalf of the prisoner—that he had borne the character hitherto of an honest man, there could not, he thought, be a doubt that he had used that character as a cloak under the guise of which he re ceived these stolen pins and watches for the pur pose of altering them to prevent identification when they were disposed of. Ho thought the jury could adopt no other course but to find the prisoner guilty. His Lordship then summed up with great minute ness, fully placing the ease before the jury. The jury immediately found the prisoner guilty. His Lordship said he did not think it necessary to try him on any other charge.

Mr. Payne preside(' i in the Second Court, and a number of minor cast s were disposed of. SUICIDE IN A WORKHOUSE. Yesterday an inquiry was held in the board room of the West London Union, Smithfield, by Mr. Wm. Payne, the coroner .for the City of London and Southwark, respecting the death of William Bailey, aged 63, an inmate of the union, who committed suicide on Thursday last under the following some what remarkable circumstances George Coelbeg said that deceased was a member of a respectable family, but that through misfortune he had become an inmate of the workhouse about 18 months since, where he was made wardsman on account of his excellent character. On Thursday last witness met a woman running along the passage crying and wringing . her hands, and saying, "Bailey has hanged hinuielf in the bath-room." Witness went thither and found deceased hanging to a beam by means of two leather straps, which were twisted and fastened around his neck. He was instantly cut down and Dr. Birch sent for, who pronounced life t 3 be extinct. Mr. James Hall, interim master of the union house, said that it was known in the house that deceased had formed a deep attachment, though one of a purely ho noura bl e nature, for a nurse in theinfirmary, who was the wife of a soldier who had been on foreign service for some years. Their chief opportunities of meeting were only in the store-room, to which they had each to go for stores, and it appeared that three days before his suicide they had some quarrel of a trifling character, and she refused to speak to him. This produced extra ordinary depression on deceased's spirits, and on Thursday last, being his birthday, he procured some drink and made himself slightly intoxicated. Deceased wa , s much respected, and the straps with which be hanged himself were used by him to en force order among refractory boys. The young woman alluded to by the previous wit ness was then examined. She was weeping bitterly, and admitted that she and deceased had been very partial to each other. She denied that there was a quarrel between them, and attributed deceased's de spondency to the death of a friend. The Coroner, in summing up, remarked that it was evident that the attachment between the de ceased and the last witness was very sincere in its nature, and the jury returned a verdict of suicide while in a state+ of temporary insanity.

THE WELSH IRON TRADE.—A much firmer tone is apparent in the Welsh iron -market, and there are symptoms of a steady and even prosperous trade reviving. In antici pation of the demand for iron plates as armour coating for men-of-war, new rolling mills are about to be erected at Rhymney. At Ebbw Vale work is steadily going on in nearly every department, and the Aberdare Valley, so full of iron and coal works, trade is tolerably good, there being several very heavy orders on the books, including good contracts for India. The iron trade has greatly improved in Merthyr, and the works are being carried on briskly, as very large orders have been received from Russia. Tho Hirwain works are still closed, nor is there any probability of their being started again.
