Colei Adair peinted.:out that the line of railway sur rounding tb.e north side of London could be made an important means of the work of defence. It would enable the commanders.to clear the front of their force of the crowd of noncombatants, who were always a source of danger, and the railroad that could remo!e them to the rear would serve as a line of defence by dividing it into artillery dis tricts. Under no circumstances could he conceive a capitulation of :London justifiable. He cited the 'example of the Thatch provinces, which successfully resisted the military power of France, to prove what could be done by determination. If the full resolve of England to resist to the last extremity were known, and if it was supported by well organised means of defence in works and men, under such circumstances there was no instance in the history of the world of an invasion having been. attempted. 11 S Plach; 4 1) . STAMPED, 5D I lion by Major Farrell, consisting of the 3d, 4th, Bth, 13th, 18th, 21st, and 34th Kent Rifles; and the 3d battalion, commanded by the Hon. Colonel Lindsay, consisting of the St. George's Rifles ; Civil Service, Lord Bury; Padding ton Rifles, General Donning ; the Scottish Rifles, Ist Company; the -Artists, Capt. Phillips;, and the Barnet Rifles, Capt. Taylor. This brigade was posted on the right of Bickley Wood, near Mr. Dent's park, and was under the command-in-chief of Lieut.-Col. Hicks. This division, of course, ad vanced from the open country. The defending division was commanded by Col. Hicks-Ist and 2d Battalions—Major Close, City Brigade. 3d Battalion—Capt. M'Leon, engineers; Hou. Capt. Bruce, Six-Feet Guards ; Major Scott, Ist Kent Rifles ; Capt. Lamborde, 33d Kent Rifles. The first movement was made by the West Mid dlesex advancing through a thick hedge from the field above mentioncd, through the enclosed grounds of an old farm-house leading into Bickley Wood on the right, and the remainder of the battalions of this brigade debouched by a narrow lane to the left. After marching some quarter of a mile, a movement to the right took place up a steep embankment, which brought the battalions into the middle of the wood. After advancing some 200 yards along an exceeding rough but romantic roadway, covered. and surrounded by trees and brushwood, the first sounds of an enemy being in front became known from a brisk fire of skirmishers into the wood. These were the first shots fired, and the first in timation that an enemy was in position, and, as it was believed, in force. Skirmishing companies of the - West Middlesex took the initiative in firing from the wood, whilst the 14th and 29th North Middlesex, the 20th and the Hornsey and Hampstead were lying in ambush. The skirmishers advanced from the wood beating back those of the enemy, and on a given signal the whole attacking body made their ap pearance through the wood and formed a most/ splendid line. and commenced firing in volleys in fine order. The army of deferice being right under the hill upon which the great body of the specta tors stood, the meaning and object of these preli minary movements were at first by no .means clear to civilian comprehension. We could see small red rows of the Six-feet Gnards and their similarly co loured comrades skirmishing in the middle of a field with desperate energy. They peppered the wood so perseveringly that the internal slaughter must have been really awful. Then, another field was covered with heavy columns of infantry ranged at right angles to the spectator, and we were for a time very much puzzled as to what business they had there, and what they were going to do. Suddenly the bugle sounded the advance, and each column, as if turning on a pivot, wheeled slowly round, and formed a magnificent lineextending the, whole length of the field. This manoeuvre was beautifully executed, and elicited shouts of applause. They were the invading army, and they were about to annihilate the devoted garrison of the wood. Now, the plot began to thicken, the smoke to rise more densely, and the understanding of the lookers on to be more and more confused. We could see Alderman Rose on a white charger riding daunt lessly up and down in the thickest of the fire, and Lord Ranelagh and Colonel Hicks, -like King William and the great French Marshal, imparting confidence to their men, and expressing them selves in the most reckless manner. The time for skirmishing had now evidently ceased, and the pickets had all been driven, or called in. Fresh forces marched up from the road, or emerged in heavy columns from the woods, and the smart file firing which we had so much admired became changed into rattling vollies, the closeness and regularity of which perfectly astonished every one who heard them. The spectators, men, women, and children, elated with the strife, had by this time crowded down the hill, and were quite close up to the defending army, whom they encouraged by their plaudits. To their surprise, however, the moment came when their champions must give way, and perhaps a more singular sight was never wit nessed than the retreat up the hill, the volunteers retiring with their faces to the enemy, their confused ranks mixed up with groups of ladies and children, all laughing and enjoying the fun, making nothing of the rattle of musketry by which they were sur rounded, the smell of powder, or the gun wadding which was flying about their heads in showers. But our brave engineers, our stalwart guards, showed not the slightest symptom of fatigue. They " dressed up" with the accuracy of a parade, and fixing their terrible sword-bayonets prepared for the final stand. We eould hear the word "Charge!" and in a moment down they went upon their assailants. Hand to hand they struggled for a short period, but at last, again defeated, they were again driven up the hill, and the ladies and the children and the crowd and the reporters along with them. It was decidedly the most interest• ing and the most intelligible scene of the day's spectacle. Now, Hicks and his engineers had it ; now, Thorold seemed to gain ground, and lookers-on shouted with excitement, as if they saw a real battle. There was directly opposite the reserved seats a piece of table land at the top of the hill, a corner of which was enclosed with hur dles. 'Within this little enclosure stood Gen. Eyre, Col. Knox, and several other experienced military men, and they looked on with perfect delight and astonishment at what was being done on the plateau before them. At one side the attack formed a magnificent line, and at the' other the defenders stood to their arms, sullen and resolute, as the Spar tans may have done at Thermopylae. The deadly Enfield went to work on both sides, and the steadi ness and intensity of the fire were perfectly mar vellous. No desultory "pop, pop," as one might have expected from such forces, but a fierce, regulated incessant rattle, whilst a thousand tongues of flame came rushing from the guns in the twi light with the regularity of long rows of gas gets. A most experienced military man, who looked on, said he had never seen a more deadly or steady fire, and, what was better, as he forcibly expressed it, the men who after three months' drill could fire that way in play, would fire twice as well in earnest. The steadiness of the lines, the terrible certainty of the fire, as indicated by the measured andrapid roll of the reports and the exact order of the flashes, the advance " like a wall" of the conque rors, and the tardy retreat of the vanquished — all made the illusion so complete that we felt quite a sensation of relief when the sight of a flag of truce announced the cessation of hostilities. Then did those late combatants forget all their feuds and all their fatigues, and march gaily off in search of the bivouacs which had been promised, but which their commanders, like the Austrian generals at Solferino, had quite forgotten to supply with creature comforts. Captain Grant was to have been there with his much lauded cooking apparatus; but there was alas ! neither the cook nor the cooking apparatus, nor anything to cook; Feeling our selves, some slight interest in this question, we could fully sympathise with the disappointment of the brave volunteers ; but they bore it without grumbling, like gentlemen as they were, formed again and marched off four miles to the railway station, making up for their inability to fill their stomachs by filling the air with their merry, manly songs as they tramped. along the road. WHO IS TO BLAME FOR AN ARMED EUROPE ? There is something in the constitution of human nature which abhors a complete uniformity. Some body must be picked out as a victim in every well regulated society. Every club has its butt, and every school selects some especial object for that amount of tyranny and oppression which lies hid under the smug exterior of boyhood. Why should we grudge to great empires the resources which are found so necessary to the smallest social commu nities? The Empire of France is a great Empire. Had it existed in the days of the Caesars them selves, it could not have been more complete in all the apparatus of a thoroughly despotic, imperial, and military Government. Litts.; Imperial Rome, i t has he innumerable legions, its well-fed and subser vient populace, its Senate not superfluously or up roariously independent, its obedient magistrates, its absolute centralisation, its republican origin. Like „I;perial Rome, also, Imperial France hug its pro ribed class, regarded with perpetual jealousy, and visited with perpetual punishment and repression. It required at least 150 years before the victories of the first Coasar and the proscriptions of his successors could eradicate from the midst of the Romans that Republican party, which, after so many defeats and so many massacres, still represented the dignity of a people that had once been masters of the world, and had then been content, with a tameness of which history only offers too many parallels, to degrade themselves to the level of those whom they had conquered, and to place themselves at the feet of a master imposed by them on the rest of the world. Thrasea, Ifelvidins, and Pretus had the privilege of shedding their blood for a cause which had once been the cause of the whole Roman nation at a time when, under the fear of a despotic Government and the distraction of barbarous shows and frivolous entertainments, the Roman people had learned to forget what they were and from whom they sprang. A similar part seems reserved for the "old parties" in France. When it is neces sary to accuse somebody, and the right person is either unknown or is in a position in which it is not convenient to accuse him, the blame is always thrown on the" old parties." If the people of France remember, not without some degree of bitterness, that there was a time *hen they were permitted to know what was actually passing in their own and foreign countries without. interference from their Government—if they reflect that they were once permitted to give a free opinion as to the conduct of their affairs; such feelings have evidently been stirred up by the intervention of the "old parties." If Spain, after having been urged by France into a war in which ;the has received many hard knocks and carried off in exchange only a mo derate amount of glory and a heavy ransom, finds that events have confirmed the advice of Eng land, whom she was taught to hate, and if her dia. dence in the counsels of France has received a stimulus from the outbreak of a domestic rebellion just at the moment when the was most abSorbed in an enterprise of foreign conquest—all this is evi dently the work of " old parties." If the minor States of Germany believe that France is anxious to sell them to Prussia in exchange for the frontier of the Rhine—if Prussia' believes that France is de termined upon possessing herself of that geogra phical necessity—if Belgium thinks her frontiers by no means too secure—all this is the result of the machinations of " old parties." If there be a Frenchman whose soul does not bound • within him at the annexation of Savoy and Nice—if Portugal believes that she is destined to be an indemnity for some concession to France on the Spanish frontier—if Italy itself is by no means certain that Savona, Genoa, and Sardinia are not destined to follow in the wake of Nice and Savoy,—this can only be because their minds are vitiated by the malevolent representa tions of " old parties." And, finally, if England, forgetful of the Crimea, forgetfurof China, and listening only to the voice of fear and suspicion, begins to think that the concessions she has made as to commercial relations have not been met in a generous spirit, and that the augmentations of the French Navy are such as to give rise to well founded apprehension, and cause us to arm on our side,—what has given occasion to all this, devoid as it is of the slightest foundation, except the calumnies and misrepresentations fostered by " old parties ?" Such, at least, is the conclusion of the Constitu tionnel, a journal deriving its information too di rectly from the source of supreme power to allow us ,o doubt for a moment the legitimacy of its inspira- Dn. What, then, are these" old parties ?" What is the influence that they possess, that they should be able thus to set France against its own Government, and all the rest of Europe against France? how comes it that they have been able to establish themselves es the only trusted expositors of the position and prospects of Europe, and to bind in their spell so many nations differing so widely from each other in laws and politics, in government, and in political relations ? What force have the " old parties" in England, what in Italy, what in Germany, what in Spain, so that they have been able to infuse into nations so distant in place, b 0 cliscordo tin lan guage, so unlike in political constitution, this universal principle of distrust of France ? We cannot help feeling that M. Grandguillot mar vellously overestimates the resources and power of the " old parties" of whom he seems so much afraid, and compliments them on the possession of power which they are very far indeed from really . having. Whence should they derive it? It can not be from their organs of the press in France, for they are shackled and manacled, and can do little indeed, either to benefit themselves or to injure those to whom they are opposed. Nor can it be from their influence in foreign countries, where the "old parties" are utterly unknown to the mass of the people, and where the few intelligent men who may take cognisance of their writings regard them with pretty much the same interest as they would a novel penned by amammoth or a tragedy fresh from the pen of an ichthyosaurus. Would it not be better to look a little nearer home? Would it not be wiser to give up these endless complaints, which satisfy nobody and only place the Govern ment of France in an undignified and querulous position ? If it be true, as asserted by the Consii tutionel—which ought to know, and whose veracity we are in no degree concerned to deny—that there is but one feeling throughout Europe with regard to France, and that a feeling of distrast and appre hension, we entreat the Constrtutionel to think bet ter of us than to suppose that we are mere passive instruments, to be played on at the will of parties, either old or new, or to be subjected to the gross deceptions which have, as it thinks, been practised upon us. We derive our information from no such sources, but from gentlemen independent of all " parties" either old or young. From these w e learn that France is daily increasing he r Navy ta rate entirely disproportioned to her cowl:pa 91in re quirements, and that her army can be filledup a few days to any amount that is required. France cannot hope to enjoy at once the a dvantages of a policy of aggression and of moderatione as between theration She chose to go to war with Austria, when such ever.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 16, 1860. THE NA VY. Captain J. J. Stopford has been appointed a naval Aide•de-Camp to the Queen, vice Captain R. B. Watson, C. 8., deceased. A Malta letter, dated July 9, says : " Her Majesty's gunboat Lapwing, Commander O'Reilly, arrived here on the 7th inst., from the fleet under the command of Vice-Admiral F. Mar tin, which she left on the sth inst. at Navarino. The men were being constantly'exercised at quarters. " After the arrival, on the 7th inst., of the over land mail of the 3d from London, her Majesty's despatch-boat Caradoc, Lieut.-Commander Buckle, left Malta with a mail for the ships at Navarino. Her Majesty's ship Neptune and frigate Doris also left on the evening of Saturday, the 7th inst., to join the Commander-in-Chief. Besides the receiving ship Hibernia and a couple of gunboats, our har bour is at present bare of men-of-war. " Except a. few sailing boats, there have been no arrivals very recently at Malta from Sicily. " Leave of absence has been granted to Major- Gen. Horn, C. 8., commandinc , 2d Brigade, from the Bth of July to the Bth oeSeptember, 1860, to proceed to the United Kingdom on private affairs. During the absence of Major-Gen. Horn, the com mand of the 2d Brigade will devolve on Col. Hard ing, lstßattalion,22d Regiment. The gallant gene ral left by the French steamer on Saturday for England via Marseilles. _ _ . 4- The Peninsular and Oriental steamer Valetta, with the London overland mail of the 3d of July, arrived here on the evening of the 7th inst., and left a few hours afterwards for Alexandria. The Indus, from Southampton and Gibraltar, with the heavy portion of the mails, arrived early on the morning of the Bth, and also took her departure, after replenishing' her coals, for Alexandria. The Ripon, with the homeward China and Calcutta mails, came into port at half-past 8 o'clock this morning. " P.S. 9 p.m.—The Vectis came into port exactly at a quarter past 6 o'clock p.m., and is to leave for Marseilles before midnight. Immediately on her taking up her moorings, Vice-Admiral Codrington, C. 8., accompanied by his Flag Lieut., Lieut. Main waring, came alongside in his gig, and was the first to pay his respects to Lord Clyde, who appeared to be in excellent health and spirits. ,Soon afterwards the-Governor's barge, containing Lieut.-Col. Halle well, the Adjutant-Gen., and Lieut. Romilly, the Governor's Aide-de-Camp, also brought up along side the steamer, and the gallant General heartily shook hands with Col. Hallowell, who was a fellow warrior with his ;ordship in the Crimea when Lord Clyde was simply Sir Colin Campbell." The Lucifer paddle steamer sailed from Ports mouth for Portland on Saturday, with Capt. G. T. Gorden and a portion of the staff of the steam re serve. The Gorgon, 6, paddle, Commander Bedford C. T. Pim, arrived at Spithead on Saturday evening from the West India station. She has made a long passage owing to her boilers being in a very defec tive state. Twelve naval invalids from ships on the station have come home as supernumeraries in her. She has also brought home three convicts from Bermua, one on a charge of murder. It is expected that she will go into Portsmouth harbour this morn ing. The screw steam sloop Greyhound, 17, Comman der T. F. Sullivan, at Devonport, struck topmasts on Friday, it being necessary to make some altora- tions in her channels, to allow her yards to brace up sharper, and thus be enabled to hold a better wind. Her crew will be paid wages before she proceeds to sea. The screw steam frigate Emerald, 50, Capt. A. Cuming, is now in dock at Keyham steamyard. She grounded at Bermuda, and recently at Barn Pool; but the only apparent damage sustained is the loss of some 60 feet of copper off her false keel. The crew of the guardship in ordinary Royal Adelaide, Capt. Williams, at Devonport, were paid wages on Friday in the presence of Rear-Admiral Sir T. S. Pasley, and turned over to the hulk Endy mion, while the Indus was preparing to take the place of the Wellington. The books of the steam guardship in ordinary Wellington, Capt. C. Keys, at Devonport, were closed on Friday. The crew of the screw gun vessel Viper, 4, Com mander Hewett, at Devonport, were paid off on Saturday, and the ship is placed in the third-class steam ordinary. The gunboat Porpoise, at Devonport, took on board her powder on Friday. She will sail for Ire- and to-morrow. The screw steam-ship Orion, 91, Capt. Frere, having had defects made good, steamed from Hamoaze, on Friday, into the Sound, and prOceeded to sea to try her machinery. On passing Milbay she saluted the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir T. S. Pasley (who is doing duty as commander-in-chief), which was acknowledged by the Impregnable, 104, Capt. Lord F. Kerr, in Hamoaze. Since tho steam floating battery Thunder, 14, 150 horse-power, has been in dock at Chatham, she has undergone a careful examination, in order that the Admiralty may be . made acquainted with her condition. With the exception of some portions of her interior the battery is in a very sound condition with scarcely any apparent signs of decay. The bottom, which was found to be in an exceedingly foul state, is now being cleaned and made ready for being coated with Peacock's patent composition for preserving the hull and destroying the marine worm. The Racehorse, 4, screw steam sloop, 200 horse power, will leave Chatham harbour this day for the coal depot at Sheerness, to take on board a supply of coals, preparatory to going on a trial trip to test her engines and machinery. She will afterwards re turn to Chatham to be made ready for the steam Guards (Carabineers); 31 men of the Royal Horse Artillery; Lieut. James R. Yule, Veterinary Surge. John Tatam, John Baldock, William Donefield, and Edwin T. Cheeseman, and 130 men of the Royal Artillery; Ensign William Poste, Ensign Wilfred Tolson, and 89 men of the 35th Regiment ; and Staff Assist.-Surg. Talbot. The following promotions and appointments have taken place in the corps of Royal Marines, dated the 13th inst. :—Lieut.-Col. and Brevet-Col. Thos. Chas. Cotton Moore, of the Chatham division, to be Col.-Second-Commandant at that division, vice Hunt, retired on full pay ; Capt. and Brevet-Major Hayes Marriott, of the;Chatham division, to be Lieut.-Col. at that divisioq, vice Moore, promoted ; Capt. and Brevet-Major Samuel Netterville Lowder, of the Portsmouth division, to be Lieut.-Col., and appointed to the Woolwich division, vice Browne, retired on full pay; Capt. and Brevet-Major Edward Thornbrough Parker Shewen, of the Portsmouth ; division, to be Lieut.-Col. at the Plymouth division, vice Fosbroke, retired on full pay; First Lieut. Thomas George Shelton Meheux, of the Chatham division, to be Capt. at that division, vice Marriott, promoted; First Lieut. Wm. Tanzie Savary, of the Portsmouth division, to be Capt. at that division, vice Lowder, promoted ; First Lieut. G. Brydges, of the Artillery division, to be Capt. at the Ports mouth division, vice Shewela, promoted; Second Lieut. William Henry Vallach Tom, of the Wool wich division, to be First Lieut. at that divi sion, vice Meheux, promoted ; Second Lieut. Robert Charles Harvey, of the Chatham division, to be First Lieutenant at that division, vice Savary, promoted ; Second Lieutenant Charles Frederick La Coste, of the Woolwich division, to be First Lieutenant at that division, vice Brydges, promoted. The detachment of the Donegal Militia at pre sent lying at Southtown, Great Yarmouth, will leave that place in the course of next week, the regiment being about to be disembodied. It is stated that none of the regimenst of Militia Artillery are to be disembodied. THE VOLUNTEER SHAM BATTLE AT CHISELHURS T. Up to Saturday morning last there were pro bably a great many people who, although rather priding themselves upon the amount and extent of their information, yet did not know much about Chiselhurst, for Chiselhurst is a sweet, retired, country place, down in Kent, which still enjoys the now rare advantage of being some three or four miles distant from the nearest railway station, and although only twelve miles from the great metro polis, is still as green, and as sylvan as if no body lived there but Robin Hood and his merry men, and nobody came there but the occasional wayfayer with whom the stout outlaw was wont to have his bout at quarter staff, and whom, hav ing first taken from his cudgelling like a gentle man, he treated with true greenwood hospi tality to the warden pie and malvousie which he had borrowed from the neighbouring abbey, Chisel hurst is only to be approached by steep and narrow country ioads, green at the sides, and brown in the middle, over which the hawthorn of the marginal hedges casts a perfume which Mr. Rimmel would in vain attempt to imitate. Except on the rare occa sion of an invasion of volunteers, the only sounds heard in Chiselhurst are the carol of the birds, and the loud single voice of the husbandman talking to his horses or himself in the fields. Here and there a curious little angular bosky nook breaks the mo notonous hedge line, and a• cluster of some half dozen wooden cottages is seen, with trellised win• dows just like the opening scene in " Love in a Village,' with red-tiled roofs, and a perfect panoply of blushing roses, which might be taken for so many younger branches of t.hq large families of chubby children that sprawled in the gardens, or shouted at the wickets, or sate upon the shoulders or clung to the necks of the comely dames who watched the volunteers with smiling exultation as they tramped past on Saturday last. On Friday evening, " when the sun was low," Chiselhurst, with its hill and dale, slope and woodland, was the type of rural peace and rustic seclusion. On Satur day morning, "when the sun was high," it was a mimic Hohenlinden, its normally quiet and unfre quented roads sending up clouds of agonised dust, its still atmosphere, broken by the clang of arms, the measured tramp of brave men, the strains of military bands, and the crash of contending omni buses, the last named loaded with nervous passen gers, whose fears the coachman treated with the most contemptuous indifference, his every anxiety being to get backwards and forwards to the railway station as often as possible before the commencement of the great business of the day. The rustics stood at their little gates, wondering as if it were an earthquake, the children held up their tiny hands and shouted, and the very roses on the cottage fronts seemed as if blushing with a deeper in tensity under the excitement of this suddent ransition from perpetual quiet to the noise, hurry, and con fusion of warlike movements. It was impossible for any one, whilst gazing on this sweet picture of pleasant meadows, which under every breath of the summer breeze revelled in new changes of light and shade—the rich fields of corn, that were just begin ning to be tipped with gold—the smiling hedges, crossing, and twisting, and intersecting each other everywhere, like a gay braiding en nature's mantle —the cott ao.es, and the roses, an d th e co mely women, and the chubby, shouting children, without making a sad comparison between the scene we then looked upon, and what it might become if some fell in vader were permitted to pass over it like a simoom, and, at the bidding of an ambitious despot, to make another Palatinate of the happy.villages and fer tile valleys of Kent. The young volunteer, as he tramped sturdily along the dusty road, must have felt in looking round that he had a country worth fighting for, and even the soberer passengers in the crazy omnibuses consoled themselves at every re curring bit of level road wil reflec tions of a somewh a t similar character.rconsolatory But this was Chis e lh urst, the bright end of the diorama, which commenced at London-bridge, where the picture was as different as one represen tative of mundane things could possibly be to another. The railway authorities had evidently been taken by surprise, and although Mr. Knight, the active superintendent of the South-Eastern line, unexhausted by his exertions at the Agricultural Show only a few days before, was unwearied and most successful in his exertions to accommodate and transmit everybody, the means of transit were ob viously unequal to the sudden demand, and the struggle to get stowed away in any kind of a rail way carriage far surpassed anything we had ever before witnessed during rather an extended expe rience of monster gatherings, We have had often to fight our way to the door of a railway carriage, and to hold on by the handles at the risk of a broken arm or of being dragged off the platform, but then we had to contend only with ordinary crowds, eompressible civilians like ourselves, and could generally get a place somehow on the first assault. But on this occasion the platform was densely packed with athletic young volunteers, all eager to be in time on Campden-hill, and whenever any one else attempted to get in with a platoon the only result was to get his head buried in a forest of Enfield rifles, long and short, and to feel his companions scrambling into the carriage s in (limns over his back. • The police, who endeavoured to keep the edge of the platform clear, were swept away like the mill on the fleas, and thus, train after train, had attempts to be made and disappointments to be ex perienced, until slowly and tediously an inadequate noumber of carriages found seats for all the crowd; The journey down too, although only 12 miles, took up an hour and a half, so great is the traffic on the South-Eastern family of lines, and so fre quent the stoppages required for passing or crossing trains. To manage all this with safety to human life must have required all the vigilance and all the attention of the whole railway staff, and the suc cess with which that all - important object was achieved, both going and returning—the latter in finitely the most critical portion of the day's tra velling—reflects the utmost credit on the superins tendent and the whole of his subordinates, on whom the responsibility rested. As complaints will pro bably be made against the South -Eastern Company for insufficiency of preparation, it is only fair to them to mention that nothing that had transpired previous to Satu rda y respecting the sham fight j u stified them in expecting that it would be so great attraction for the a success and so powerful an public as it subsequently turned out t o b e . R umours , too well authenticated, were in circulation of divi sions amongst the volunteer chiefs—how Lord Grosvenor had refused the attendance of the Queen's, and how Lord Elcho had determined to keep back the London Scottish. The attempt at a volunteer sham fi g ht was consid ere d t o b e prema ture, and there were not wantin g people to assert that Lord Ranelagh was running a race for a teer lead with Lord Elcho, and that his Campden hill campaign would in the end turn out to be nothing more than an ambitious failure. But the event has proved Lord Ranelagh to have been right, and that in the case of a great national movement, which is to be sustained by national enthusiasm, there is nothing like studding its progress with great tangible facts, which the people can under stand, and which will have the effect of concen trating their attention on the point to which it is vitally necessary it should be directed. The review in Hyde-park was a great fact which added thou sands of men to the volunteer levies throughout the country, and now we have the sham battle of Camp den-hill for another, to show that, easy as it was to get civilians to enrol for purposes of national de fence, it is quite as easy to convert them into good practical soldiers, in a space of time in which pre viously no one would have conceived such an achieve ment possible. There were scores of experienced military men on Campden-hill on Saturday last, and their impression of what they saw was one of de light and surprise at the military ability and zeal which in so short a time had enabled the volunteers to go so creditably through their evolutions. There is nothing succeeds like success, and the success of Saturday will give the volunteer cause, a great impetus, bet in the meantime, as it was so unex pected, and as such great pains bad been taken in so many influential quarters to make it a failure, it is not to be wondered at that the South-Eastern Company should have been taken a little by sur prise at the enormous rush of volunteers and sight seekers which they were called on to transmit, at a moment's notice, to a little bye station to which the ordinary traffic is not more than some half dozen passengers each train. They did their work slowly, but they did it safely, and that is no small praise, when such a vast amount of human life was concerned. As a matter of course the successive delays arising from the sudden invasion of the London bridge platform by compact bodies of 500 or 1,000 men at a time, were totally unknown to those visitors who got down early, and had taken their places in the reserved seats by two o'clock in the afternoon. Their patience was sorely tried, as the review did not commence until seven, and even the picturesque beauties of the park had exhausted their curiosity long before that time. Campden-park is a very pretty country gentleman's place, with plenty of hill and dale, and some rather respectable plantations. A little river divides it from Bickley-park, its neighbour, much better wooded, but as both slope down to the river they are admirably adapted to enable people to see a sham fight going on in one or both, whatever diffi culties their steeply undulating surface might op pose to the performance of complicated military evolutions. Cavalry could hardly have made any very brilliant charges against those steep hills, nor would artillery have much claim to the epithet "Flying," in moving about amongst the dense shrubberies and brushwood, but both cavalry and artillery had been refused, and this refusal, more than anything else, contributed to the triumphant success of the day. The commanders were obliged to confine themselves entirely to infantry manoeu vres, and the agile volunteers made nothing of clambering up the hills, or rushing down the val leys, leaping the ditches, or even plunging into the river, a whole company having in one case crossed, holding their rifles over their heads, and with the water rising far above their waists. The result was a most animating sham fight, which everyone could see, and the manoeuvres of which they could follow and understand ; and accordingly it was enjoyed, followed, and applauded to the echo. The prepara tory arrangements were of the simplest kind. Two or three stands for spectators in the most elevated positions, and a line of bivouac tents " few and far between" at the edge of the park, were all the ac commodation provided for either spectators or vo lunteers ; but the whole surface of the park pre sented a succession of amphitheatres, so that people had only to sit down on the grass, spread out their napkins, and discuss their luncheons, whilst they could see all that was going on everywhere around them. The crowd accumulated very gradually. At first a thin fringe of people only could be seen on every ridge, but gradually it swelled, and bright ened with gay costumes, until at last there were perhaps 25,000 persons grouped everywhere over a park of 600 or 700 acres, waiting patiently or impatiently, according to their temt erament, for the arrival of the troops. As for the " Grand Stands," the occupants soon got heartily tired of them, and, descending, mixed with the crowd, where there was much more excitement going on. The ladies, of course, remained, and would have been very dull indeed but that the modern discoveries of science came to their aid, and enabled the gallant commander, Lord Ranelsgb, to send from his distant encampment an inquiry of " Whether a little music would be agreeable to the ladies." Professor Wheat stone's field telegraph had been laid down, and was in full work, under the skilful manipulation of Mr. Holmes, in front of the stand. Of coarse, the other end was in the battle-field at the service of the Commander-in-Chief, and the latter availed himself of it to send the aforesaid polite message. The answer " most agreeable," of true telegraphic brevity, was promptly returned , and in due time Herr Schallehn with his accomplished artists of the South Middlesex band took up a position in front of the grand stand, and discoursed most eloquent music during the day. But for this judicious com bination of knightly courtesy and scientific manipu lation, we fear that the fair spectators of the tour nament would have felt the time hang heavily on their hands long before the mimic strife of the knights began. Previous to this, there was a dreadful conspiracy of nigger minstrels to drive every one frantic with the rattle of bones and the maddening thrum of banjoes, and a persevering band of little boys, who, with drums and fifes, seemed to be perfectly übiquitous, kept popping up everywhere, deluding the expectant company with the notion that at length the volunteers were com ing. Twenty times we could hear the ladies exclaim, " Hark, here they are," but in a few moments the now familiar discordance of the never to be finished " Annie Laurie," was recognised, and a murmur " Oh, it's only those tiresome little boys," was fol lowed by another gloomy collapse into silent ex pectation. Later in the day the beer began to tell slightly on the peripatetic crowd. One gentleman in his shirt sleeves planed his back against a tree, and boldly announced that " Forty policemen shouldn't stir him from that spot." rhe crowd soon gathered round, and when some one asked " If this was the sham fight," the observa tion was accepted as a sally of-mild sarcasm on the military delay, and was received with shouts of applause. With such incidents as these the time was whiled away during a long summer's day until 7 o'clock, when the man*uvres began in the distant woods, from which a rattling report and an occa sional puff of white smoke proved that " villanous" saltpetre" had at last commenced its operations amid the opposing columns of the volunteers. In accordance with the established practice in the case of sham fights, an order of the day had previously been published, telling how the battle was to be won and lost, and enumerating the troops that were to be engaged; but, inasmuch as this programme included the operations of cavalry and artillery, which were not allowed to come, and enu merated various metropolitan corps, the leaders of which thought it wise to stay away, its publication here would be very little elucidatory of what really did occur. It amused the spectators to read it and grumble over it whilst they waited, but the altera tion which subsequently occurred was received in the best spirit, and the actualloperations with shouts of acclamation and applause. Previous to the signal for attack, which was given at seven o'clock, the first brigade of the second or attacking divi sion was formed in a field in the rear of Bickley Wood, and they formed the left point of the attack. This brigade was about 1,200 strong, consisting of three battalions—the first formed of the West Middlesex, under the command of Ma jor Compton, consisting of five companies of the West Middlesex Rifles, 260 strong. The second battalion was under the command of Captain Wil kinson, consisting of two companies of the 14th Middlesex (Highgate), two companies of the 29th, or North Middlesex, commanded by Captains Ross and Cameron, and consisting of about 100 men ; two companies of the 20th, or Railway Rifles, about 80 men, under Captain Houghton ; one company of the Hornsey Rifles, 50 men, under Capt. Wa rner ; and one company of the Hampstead, under Captain M'lnnes, about 30 men. The 3d battalion consisted of the 19th Working Men's College, three compa nies, about 130 men ; the 3d Tower Hamlets, under Sir Edward F. Buxton, two companies or about 60 men ; the 7th Surrey Rifles, under Major tajo4rthßesruesrrfoeryd; utnwdoercomcpapantaiiens, aEbmouatnsl,2tohemeB n th ; Surrey Rifles, Capt.Yeatman ; and the 9th Surrey, Capt. Hastie. This brigade was under the com mand of Lieutenant-Colonel Lord Radstock and the Marquis of Abercorn. Lord Valletort and Major Chitty acted as aides-decamp to the com mander of this brigade. The second brigade was the stronger force, and consisted of the South Middlesex, commanded by Colonel Thorold ; Ist battalion by Major M'Pherson and Major Burke ; the 2d batta- reserve. The present strength of the camp at Colchester is 2,647 rank and file. The number of men in hos pital is 130, or about 5 per cent. of the whole force• The huts are much crowded, and the hot weather which has set in during the last few days has occa sioned complaints in reference to defective ventila tion. The following appointments were made on Satur day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. B. J. Cooper to the Hannibal; Lieut. T. C. Bruce and Lieut. W. H. Wright to the Royal Adelaide ; Mr. D.

The camp at Browndown has been broken up, and the troops which have been stationed here for rifle practice have returned to head-quarters in Portsmouth garrison. The troops composing the garrison will be brigaded on Southsea-common as often as may be practicable during the remainder of the summer. The following is the list of the officers and men who will embark at Custom-house-quay, Gravesend to-morrow, on board the chartered East India troop ship Conflict, 1,320 tons, for Bengal—viz., Captain George Bushman, and 39 men of the 2d (the Queen's) Dragoon Guards, Ensign Rodney S. Rid dell, Ensign John R. Collins and 100 non-commis sioned officers and men of the 70th Regiment, Lieut. C. E. Gore Browne and 109 men of the 82d Regi ment, and Lieut. Annesley Eyre and 126 men of all ranks of the 90th Light Infantry, from Canterbury ; Lieut. H. Archdall, Lieut. H. G. Webster, Ensign T. A. Davies, Ensign Zachary Macaulay, and 69 men of the Ist batta lion 20th Regiment, from Chatham ; Lieut. John Randal Wilmer, Royal Artillery, from Woolwich ; and Staff Assist.-Surg. J. Alfred Illingworth, from Buttevant. The Newcastle, 1,137 tons, Capt. C. Wiltshire, has been ordered to embark the follow ing troops at Gravesend, for Calcutta, viz. ;—Capt. Cecil F. Holder and 45 men of the 6th Dragoon DEFENCE OF LONDON. At the United Service Institution yesterday Col. Shafto Adair delivered a lecture on the means of defending the metropolis against attack by an in vading army. The room was well attended—Sir J. Burgoyne took the chair. Col. Adair stated that he had taken up the subject of the defence of London, because it had not been treated in the able report of the National Defence Commission. He did not deal with the question in the tone of an alarmist ; the general effect of his facts and arguments was to inspire confidence in the result, even in the worst case, provided we acted with foresight, calm determination, applied the aptitude we ex hibit for dealing with emergencies, and made an intelligent use of the advantages of the natural position of London. These Col. Adair described fully, with the assistance of maps and plans. He believed the natural formation of the country around the metropolis rendered it one of the strongest capitals of Europe. With its natural strength increased by forts at the proper points, those forts connected by an easily-raised line of fieldvrorks, and both defended by a disciplined force, such as the country now poss essed, he be lieved no attack could succeed. With those prep a rations it was improbable it would he made. " t first assuming a hostile army to be advancing, its object would be to terrify and demoralise the inha bitants of the city by the terrible eff ects of a verti cal fire, driving in a panic-stricken crowd from the suburbs upon the centre. But by keeping the enemy on the outward sl o p e s of the h ills round London his power o f mischie wo fwould be mu _ placed tralised. The forts should be so as to prevent an a rmy penetrating through these lines at t he weaker points, and delaying it till the regular forces could operate.
