During the last 12 months 20 ve3(lss at least have probably been laid down in our various dockyards, and if half, or even a third of these, had been iron-cased frigates, we should have been as forward as France. The one condition, in short, of security as well as economy, in these mat ters is to take each new invention in time, and work it out with the funds of the year. This expedient would always keep us harmless. If the discovery proved ultimately ineffective, we should have lost but little; if it was found really successful, we should be abreast of the world. But if, through the obtuseness or obst ruc ti venes s of the official mind, we neglect every invention till it has been recog nised and adopted by others, we always occupy a position of danger, until we awake at last in a state of panic. We trust, however, that we shall escape that fate on the present occasion. Five years hence nobody can say what might be our condition, but, as it is, there is no great harm done. What is needed now is not the " reconstruction of our Navy," . but simply the construction of a f ew i ron - c l a d vesse l s in the place of as many wooden ones.—Times. • - . IRE NAVY. Vice-Admiral Sir C. Fremantle, K.C.8., struck his flag on Wednesday at sunset on board the screw steamship Royal Albert, 121, Capt. H. Lacon, in Plymouth Sound, and resigned command of the Channel Fleet. On Thursday morning his succes .sor, . Rear• Admiral R. F. Stoprord, late Captain Af the Fleet, hoisted his flag with the customary salute, on board the Royal Albert, which was an swered by the Impregnable, 104, Capt. Lord F. Kerr, in Hamoaze. Admiralty orders have been received at Chatham Dockyard for building at that establishment a 22 gun screw corvette of 400 horse power and 1,857 tons burden, to he named the Falmouth; also a 17 gun steamer, of 200 horse power and 950 tons bur den, to be named the Tees ; and a screw despatch gun vessel of 200 horse power and 695 tons, to be named the Myrmidon, and to be furnished with four of the Armstrong rifled guns. The last named vessel has been commenced building. The paddlewheel steam sloop Geyser, 6, Comman der G. F. Jackson, having completed with coal alongside the hulk in Plymouth Sound, was hauled off on Thursday, and is appointed to go up Hamoaze to be repaired. Commander Hawker, RN., acting in the absence of Commodore the Hon. J. R. Drummond, C. 8., at Woolwich, yesterday received information of the successful issue of the course of trials on board the flagship Royal Albert, Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Fremantle, and other ships of the fleet, with Mr. W. 11. Ward's "ocean marine telegraph." During the 22 days' cruise of the fleet, the ocean telegraph was repeatedly tested from ship to ship in thick and calm weather, and messages were transmitted under the superintendence of the Admiral, which were readily replied to over an ocean range as far as the ships' lights were visible. The invention is stated to have met with the entire approbation of the Admiral, a report to that effect having been for warded to the Admiralty. Another important addition to the Royal Navy is to be made at Deptford dockyard on Tuesday afternoon next by the launch of the screw steam ship Newcastle, of 51 guns and 400-horse power engines. The Newcastle was laid down about two years since, under the superintendence of Mr. Chatfield, late Master-Shipwright at this yard, and is a fine specimen of modern naval architecture, being 3,027 tons burden, 250 feet length between perpendiculars, and 52 feet extreme breadth. The Rosario screw steam vessel, 7 guns, will also be launched at Deptford on Wednesday next. The Ariel, 9, screw, Commander Alexander, has been undocked at Portsmouth on the completion of her repairs to her port timbers. It is reported that she goes to the Coast of Africa. Her want of stow age, however, renders her entirely unfit for any other than the home or Mediterranean stations. The Foxhound, 4, screw, Commander A. Mitchell, was docked yesterday at Portsmouth to clean cop per, examine Kingston valves, &c. She will move out of dock again this morning's tide. Her copper was excessively foul. The Diadem, 32, screw, Captain I. H. Cockburn, will go into Portsmouth harbour on Tuesday, and be placed in dock for the purpose of ascertaining what damage'she may have received to her stem, or wooden ends, on the occasion of her late collision in the Channel with H.M.S. Queen. The water will be admitted to the ship basin at Portsmouth Dockyard on Monday, and the new cassions recently built for Nos. 3 and 4 docks will be placed in their position, the basin then becom ing again available for the ordinary work in the yard, which has been excluded from it now for nearly 18 months in consequence of the lengthening and repair of its docks. In the article headed " Iron-plated Frigates" re ference was made to the deck beams of the iron plated ram Defiance, at present under construction by the contractors, Messrs.

A naval court-martial assembled yesterday on board the Formidable, 84, in the Medway, for the trial of Private James Crosbie, Royal Marines, serving on board the Formidable, on the following charges :—" 1. For that he, the said James Crosbie, being in actual service and full pay in her Ma jesty's fleet, and private Royal Marine serving on board her Majesty's ship Formidable, was, about the 2d day of October, 1360, drunk on board the said ship while on guard. 2. For that he, the said James Crosbie, did, on or about the 2d of October, 1800, make use of threatening language to Lieu tenant George Augustus Brine, of the said ship, while in the execution of his duty, by saying, `l'll give it you, old Channel Fleet, directly,' or words to that effect, at the same time attempting to draw his bayonet. 3. For that he, the said Jas. Crosbie, did, on or about the 2d Oct., 1860, on the quarter-deck of tie said ship, strike Sergeant Wm. Harney, Royal Marines, his superior officer." The Court was composed of the following members, viz. :—Vice-Admiral W. J. Hope Johnstone, Com mander-in-Chief at the Nore, president ; Capt. C, Wise, Southampton, 50; Capt. C. F.

The annual meeting of the Worcestershire Agri cultural Association was held on Wednesday, and, after the usual award of prizes, the annual dinner was held at the Guildhall. About 100 gentlemen assembled, the chair being taken by the Hon. W. Coventry,who officiated in the absence of his nephew, the Earl of Coventry, the Hon. F. Lygon, M.P., taking the vice chair. Among those present were Earl Beauchamp, Lord Northwick, the Right Hon. Sir J. Pakington, MX, Sir T. E. Winnington, M.P., Viscount Emley, M.P., Mr. J. H. H. Foley, M.P., the Mayor of Worcester, &c. After the usual preliminary toasts, the CHAIR MAN gave " The Army and Navy." Earl BEAUCHA3IP responded on behalf of the army. Sir J. S. PAKINGTON, being called upon, replied for the navy. That service, he observed, deserved all honour and respect, as it always received honour and respect at the hands of every meeting of this nature. For himself he had no claim what ever to have his name connected with the toast which they had just honoured, except from their partiality. He himself had no better means than the public in general of ascertaining what the present condition of the navy might be ; but, judging from these means, he had no doubt that the British navy was at this moment as ready as it had ever been at any former period to do good service to the country, if need be. (Cheers.) In connexion with this toast he felt disposed to make one, rernark..with _respect to a , matter Ician :k . netted with the navy, because he felt competent to speak upon it from his official experience. He meant the question which appeared to occupy so much of public attention of late—as to...the policy and expe diency of expending a large sum of money in build ing armour-covered ships. (Hear, hear.) They could hardly take up a newspaper at the present time without seeing strong opinions expressed on one side Or the other with regard to this question. He therefore felt it to be his duty to say that it had been his fortune—it had been his duty as a member of the late Administration, to propose to Parlia ment, seeing that other nations were adopting this invention, and as they had reason to believe that the invention would be a most valuable one to the public service, that they should adopt it, (Hear, hear.) It had been his duty to superintend and to weigh the experiments that had been made in con nexion with this invention, and the results had been that these armour-covered ships, although they might not be proof against every possible attack under every possible circumstance, were shown to be so superior to ordinary vessels as to well repay the extra cost. The late Government had built two of these ships, the Warrior and the Black Prince ; the present Government had ordered others, and he believed the British public would think that, at all events, this great experiment should be well tried. (Applause.) Lord ELMLEY having proposed " The health of Lord Coventry," the President for the year, The Hon. W. COVENTRY acknowledged the toast on behalf of his nephew, and explainedthat his ab sence was occasioned by an engagement as Steward of the Jockey Club. His lordship, however, had instructed him to offer two prizes of £2O each for horses for hunting purposes. Sir J. PAKINGTON proposed the toast of " The County Members." He said no one was more com petent than himself to speak to the fidelity with which they had discharged their duties. Viscount ELMLEY, acknowledging the toast, said the proceedings of the last session of Parliament reminded him of a rather familiar anecdote. A gentleman, seeing, two of his servants idle, said to one of them, " Jack, what are you doing ?" "I am doing nothing, Sir," was the reply. Th en , t o th e other, he said, " ora, what are you doing ?" and the answer was, " Helping Jack, Sir." He (Vis• count Elmley) must consider himselfi in the position of Tom, having been daring the past session " help ing Jack" to do nothing. (A laugh.) He hoped that on future occasions he should have a more satisfactory reply to make to the query at the end of a Parliamentary session. (Hear, hear.) Com paring the position of agricultural societies in the present day with what they were at their first for mation, he said when they had their annual gather ing the press next morning used to speak of it as a meeting of " chs.wbacons: This was not the ca se now. They had through the instrumentality of these meetings brought science to bear upon agri culture, and one of these results had been the in troduction of ploughing by steam. There had been a measure before Parliament, and which he trusted to see carried before long, for facilitating the trans fer of land. By this measure those who had debts upon their property and those who had money for investment might be mutually accommodated, and he had no doubt, if the.measure were passed, that more money would be laid out upon the land than there was at present. Mr. J. H. FOLEY also responded to the toast of " The County Members." Lord Not TUWICK proposed " The Members for the City and Boroughs," and said the amount of physical endurance which members-of Parliament had undergone for six months of the last session had been very great. He did not agree with Lord Elmley that the Rouse of Commons had done no thing ; he thought, on the contrary, that they had done a great deal. Perhaps they had not passed many bills, but what they had passed they had well sifted. Indeed, he did not know that they should have been much better off if more bills had been passed. For instance, he did not think their con dition would have been improved if the Reform Bill had been passed. Sir S. PAKINGTON, having acknowledged the eor diality with which the toast had been received, said that, having thus expressed his sense of their kind ness, he felt in doubt whether he should not sit down without troubling them with any further remarks-7(n°, no)—but he rather leant to the opinion that these societies were tending somewhat to too much speechmaking. He was happy to say that these agricultural associations were becoming very general, but one result of their so becoming general was that it really appeared that a part of the agricultural produce of the country was a large annual crop of speeches. (Oh, oh.) Of course thi s crop varied a good deal in quality. H e wou ld no t say that the crop contained a good deal of " chaff" —(laughter)--but no doubt it was adapted to dif ferent markets. (Hear, hear.) One of the rules of these societies was that politics should be avoided in their discussion. The . rule was n o d ou bt an ex cellent one, but unluck i ly the practi ce was a ll t h e other way. He trusted the rul e was b etter t h an the practice. He did not approve the practice of introducing politics at these meetings. He did not mean to say that there were no occasions on which subjects of a political nature might be introduced. He had before expressed his opi n i on i n th a t p l ace that the meaning of this rule was to exclude party politics. There were great political questions, such as the late rebellion in India, the famine in Ireland, the position of our army before Sebastopol, and such like subjects, which might be fairly discussed at these gatherings as not involving any party ques tion. (Hear, hear.) He might find an illustration in the present day. They might congratulate them selves that they were living in England at this mo ment at peace and in prosperity. We ought to be grateful that the kingdom was not torn asunder by combined or divided factions, nor tormented by the distressing anxieties which almostevery other nation but ourselves was perplexed with at this moment. We were attached to the Sovereign and to the insti tutions under which we lived; we had minor differ ences among us no doubt, but there was one great fact for which we could net be too thankful— that we were a people happy, prosperous, and con tented, and while other nations were struggling for that liberty which we enjoyed, we were meeting together in these social parties to enjoy each other's society. 'As a rule they were not to indulge in party polities at these meetings, but there might be sub jects political in their nature to which it would be almost wrong if they did not refer. The obj ec t' o f Members of Parliament atten d i ng these me e ti ngs should be not to court constituencies, but to pay their respects to that mother earth from which endeavOured to extract as much as they cou ld . His right hon. friend Mr. Disraeli had se t a w i se example in this respect in his own county of Buck' s, where he addressed an agricultural meeting with out touching on politics, and he (Sir John) could wish that those who drew up the list s o f t oas t s at these meetings would not give the Members of Parliament for the distr ict so conspicuous a position in these lists. Their object at these me e ti ngs should be to disseminate agricultural knowledge. He would tell them that within the last few days he had travelled through that celebrated farming district between the Forth and the Tweed. He had seen there splendid farms with large fields and small hedges, in which he_ could count the home steads because there were few trees to inte rce pt the view, and every home s t ead ha d its steam eng ine chimney. There rents were high because farming was pro fi table, and farming was profitable because leases were long. (Hear, hear.) E ver y f arm w as farmed with a sufficient capital, and the tenant had no hesitation in investing his capital because he Meg had the security of. a loam. (Hear, hear.) The result was such that was almost afraid to men tion it to a Worcestershire: farmer; but he (Sir '.,Tohn) was told that it was common to pay corn rents there, and that the re nt of a farm per acre in that district was the price of two quarters of wheat, and sometimes three. Sol netimes a farmer paid £l,OOO, £2,000, and even £3,000 a year for rent, and had a handsome profit left for himself afterwards. Now, this was a fine picture of farming, but he must c onfess that he should be sorry, in the county of 'Worcester, to see all their beautiful elms, their wide-spread ing soaks, and their rich apple orchards felled, and to see the Country as treeless as he saw the country between the Tweed s and the Forth a few days ago, where they saw mazy chimneys, but 'looked in vain for a lofty tree. But they might do a great deal in the way of i mprovement before they arrived at any such desper at() alternative as that, and he thought they should endeavour to follow the example which had been, set thorn in Scotland to a certain extent. He kr ,ew there were some parts of Worcestershire in which they might see some very good farming, but let them face the truth, and they mast admit that that was not the general character of Worcestc,rshire farming. They did not stand high id agriculture in Worcester shire, and their first object should be to communi cate knowledge to each other', and so to turn the agricultural associations to real practical objects. He would say that for his petrt he would rather hear one good practical speech on farming from a practical farmer than ho world listen to the best politiiiii.speFeh that a member of Paillainent could give them. He very much desired that the future of the Worcester Agricultural Society might con duce to these ends. (Cheers.) Earl BEAUCHAMP proposod the health of the chairman. The Hon. W. COVENTRY responded, and severa other toasts of a local characte. - r followed. IRON-CASED 811IPS. The question of iron-cased. ships may be said to have been practically decidoed by the discussion which it has received in our columns. Two great facts appear now to be established. The first of these is, that all iron plates can be penetrated, under certain conditions, b,y shot, and therefore that no vessel, however thus protected, can be pro nounced invulnerable. The second is that the re quisite conditions are difficult of attainment, and therefore that an iron-clad vowel would possess a decisive advantage over an unprotected antago nist. We consider these remits as established, not only because they have been affirmed and explained by correspondents of unim peachable authority, but bemuse they have met no refutation. Witnesses in abundance, both profes sional and independent, have testified to the reality and importance of the new inseention, but there has been no direct denial of its merits. Mr. Whitworth has naturally made a stand for the honour of his guns. The Gloire, in short, is aiot an invulnerable frigate, but as she is probably proof against all shell and a good many shot, few wooden frigates could encounter her on equal terms. We shall be excused, we hope, for remind:ing the reader that this is precisely the conclusion: which we ourselves submitted to the public. Now, succeeds, however, the important conside ration of the measures to be adopted and the ex pense to be incurred in consequence of this new discovery. The bare announcement of a fresh " reconstruction of our Navy," , especially on such costly terms, is enough to fill the nation with alarm. We have but just emerged from the flood pf extravagance ensuing upon a sudden panic. We have succeeded by incredible efforts in almost doubling the strength of our marine since the beginning of 1858, and the British fleet has at length been'brought into a condition befitting our resources and our position. Is all this ground to be lost, and have we another up-hill fight to go through before our Navy can again become what it should be P We think we can. reassure the public mind on these points. We see nothing very for fnidable before us in the way either of expense or difficulty: All our wooden ships have not become useless, and though we shall certainly want some iron-cased vessels, our wants in this respect are not so great but what they can be supplied in good time and without extraordinary charge. The measure of our obligati:ems is derived, of course, from the proceedings of the French. Nobody attempts to blink or disguise that fact, so we have first to consider what the French have done. They have taken the initiative, much to their credit, in constructing men-of-war upon an entirely new model, and have left us ' as on many forme r occa sions, with the duty of following in their steps. Fortunately, however, they have not yet got very far ahead. This time, if we do but bestir ourselves, we need have no great difficulty in recovering our place. The French have laid d.own ten iron-cased frigates ; they have launched two, and of these one, at least, is a complete success. Perhaps • the Nor mandie is less of a failure than. has been reported,. but, at any rate, France has only two of the new fabrics afloat, and eight on the stocks. We have on the stocks four such vessels, two of which were ordered by Lard Derby's Government nearly three years ago. When these are launched—and we hope the event may be expedited —we shall at once be a match for our neighbours in frigates afloat, and though they will still have the start of us in the numbers on hand, it will not cost us much to overtake them. In material, in machinery, and in all the conditions favourable to such manufac tures we possess infinite advantages. The Gloire herself would have been a better vessel if built in England. Good as she is, she merely represents the best that could be done in France. Much alarm, however, has been created by the inevitable costliness ascribed to these fabrics. To a certain extent, no doubt, the current impressions are correct ; but we hope something remains to be abated on this score, and we shall presently show that there are considerations on the other side. General Peel stated at Huntingdon last week that the two vessels bespoken by Sir John Pakington, and now in process of construction, would cost "no less than a million of money—£soo,ooo each." That is certainly a prodigious sum. The Duke of Wel lington, one of our largest three-deckers, cost but £1 . 70,000, and the Orlando, our finest and most ex pensive frig ate , only £100„000. But we really do not understand how General Peel's figures were ob tained, unless the work has grown wonderfully under the hand. We remember no • such demand as £1,000,000 for these purposes in the Navy Estimates of 1859. There is an item, certainly for ships " to be built by contract," but it is only £252,000. We were very well aware that the cost of an iron-cased frigate would be largely in excess of the old standard, especially if reckoned by the number of tons. The old computation, for instance, 30 years ago, gave £l,OOO per gun as the average cost of a vessel of war ; this was raised by the modern system of screw propulsion to £2,000, and the iron-cased frigate, it was said, would cost £4,000. Thessresults, however, were produced not merely by the expensiveness of the ship, but by the compara tively small number of guns carried by the new de scription of vessel. The Warrior and the Black Prince mount but 36 guns each, though of enormous power, and consequently their cost appears larger than if they carried 60 or 70 pieces of smaller cali bre. Assuming, however, that iron-cased frigates can be const ruc t e d for £130,000 each, which was what we. im ag i ne d, t h ey are ' neither extravagant nor unfavourable bargains. They cost more than a wooden frigate, no doubt, but less than a wooden two-decker, whereas they are more powerful, we are assured, than even the latter class of vessel. If, therefore, we obtain for £130,000, or even £150,000, a ship more effective than those for which we hav e hitherto p a id £160,000 o f £170,000, w e are clear ly no losers, n o t t o men ti on th a t th e 36-gun ve ssel can probably be worked with fewer hands t ha n the old 91. Lastly, let it never be forgotten that without t o f submitting to any fresh burdens, or embarki ng resenra on any fresh outlay, we have at or t expenditure a good million a- spend on new time to time ships of such models as yea from op may y this point because it be preferred. We insist uponsments have beenins is here that all our embarrassments our dockyards for any curred. If the productso invariably brought up to the given year had been the eriod, whatever that might highest mark of u have i escaped all our perplexi ties been, we shou ischief has lain in the fact ties and panics. The m to obs o l e te mod e ls, that we always clung too long h c whi and thus lavished upon fabrics were pre sently to prove u seless the labour an d funds Whi c h wo uld have supplied us with specimens of the best curren t patterns. What caused us su c h t rou b le in ma was, that whereas at that time the screw two decker was the most approved model of a line-of battle ship, we, from various causes, had got into such arrears in the construction of these vessels that France was actually ahead of us, andlhe most ex traordinary exertions were required before we could recover our place. It might be the same in 1862, if we again neglected the new pattern, and ad hered to the old one ; but we trust the alarm has A a LET TER FROM NAPLES. • The following is from the same pacific friend who favoured us (the Scotsman) with a communication from the same quarter two or three days ago : " Naples, Oct. 2, 1860. " There has been so little doing in the military line in this direction since the abortive attack on the • fort on Wednesday last, that I have little or nothing to record on that score. (This, as will be seen from the sequel, was written previous to the battle of the Volturno.) Skirmishing there certainly has been, with no other result than the useless sacrifice of the lives of individuals on both sides, and I must say that neither party gains much credit by these fruit less efforts. Whilst the Neapolitans are throwin g random shells in every direction, our men are pick ing off stragglers with their rifles from behind rocks ' and hedges. The King, if he be entitled to the ap pellation, ventured out of Capua the other day, and an aide-de-camp was killed by his side. His Majesty did not wait for a second chance, but galloped back. On Saturday and Sunday a great many were killed at the camp of St. Angelo to the right by shots from the Fort, There is no end to the " shaves," as they are termed, which are circulated here every hour. The chief engineer—Bordone, a Frenchman—in formed me 10 ten days ago that the city must sur render in four or five days at farthest ; but one thing is certain, that Garibaldi seldom, if ever, communi cates his plans to anybody. One day he observed that if his red shirt knew what were his intentions he would burn it. Upon comparing, however, the best authenticated reports, it can hardly be denied that the Neapolitan army in Capua is reduced to great straits either from the bad spirit of the troops or from want of provisions, and that some of those high in command are growing desperate. On Mon day last I think it was, a Neapolitan general, being suspected of Garibaldiau tendencies, was summarily crucified against one of the gates of the city. Of course there are endless speculations assuming to account for this delay on the part of the Garibaldians, so apparently mischievous. Some demand why does not the general bring up the great guns, of which there are so many in St. Elmo and elsewhere. They reply to this that there are no carriages for them ; moreover, as the Piedmontese troops are coming up, as also the long expected English volunteers, it is better to wait for them. What the real cause of the delay of the latter force is, is not very intel ligible, unless upon the supposition of something worse than mismanagement by some parties at home, who have attempted to impose, in more than one way, upon Garibaldi's simplicity and misplaced confidence. The numbers originally reported to be coming here from England has been reduced from 1500 to about one-third of that number. Ido not vouch from my own personal knowledge 'for the truth and justice of the insinuations conveyed in the reports and queries here circulated on this sub ject. I only state what I hear from those whose veracity and honour may be implicitly relied on. " I have no doubt whatever that ultimately the city will be taken, and that all will go well. I cannot but think, however, that the rapid success which has followed the great man hitherto has made him too confident, and that he expected to take Capua, a strongly fortified town, with the same facility as he entered Naples. This slight check, if the campaign is to be protracted, may possibly do some good by rendering the generals more cautious. " Though the Sicilians en masse have fought well from the commencement, yet it is possible that the hot weather and other circumstances may have somewhat relaxed the energies of individual. For instance, at the last skirmish a Sicilian officer rushed frantic into Santa Maria, crying aloud, I have saved the honour of the regiment; I have brought away the flagr—a novel mode of saving honour by running away. A lady, the Countess della Torre, seeing some of the men upon the trot the wrong way, struck them with her sword, calling out, ' Go back, you cowards,' and she drove them back. This lady is indefatigable at the hospitals, whatever may be said to her disparagement. " As far as Garibaldi himself is concerned, he seems - to unite in his own person more great and good qualities than has ever before fallen to the lot of one man. He makes time for everything and everybody—whether it be for the army, for diplo • macy, or for the care and interest of individuals. His patience and kindness are inexhaustible, On Sunday night about 30 countrymen of the middle class went into Caserta and demanded an audience of the gene ral for the purpose of offering him some good ad vice. He admitted them all, although in bed after a hard day's work, and heard them with a patience which might possibly have been better bestowed. A volunteer, a Sicilian, informed one of our party that he had lost his father and three brothers in the war, and that he still wished to continue in the service, but Garibaldi hearing of the circumstances, would not permit it. A lady of my acquaintance went up to Caserta a few days ago, with her two daughters, to inquire after a friend ; Garibaldi was passing by at the time, and asked if he could assist her. She replied she wanted a guide to take her to the hospital. He immediately invited the party into the carriage and tool them over the hospital, con versine with, complimenting, and consoling the sick and wounded in their beds. In this way he spent an hour and a half with the lady, telling her, in conclusion, that she should have free admission to the hospital and the palace whenever she wished. I must however add that the lady is hand some, and that the general has an eye for good looks, as all good generals have. "Yesterday, Monday, about one o'clock p.m., news arrived of a great battle having been fought. The Neapolitans took up their position about four o'clock under the walls of the city, and commenced the attack upon the Garibaldians about five o'clock, encamped about St. Angelo to the right. They had worked their guns up to the Santa Maria side of the river ; and, as my facetious informant expressed it, some very pretty play took place between the opposing artillery. The fight then extended along the whole line, and lasted up to about three o'clock with various success, when the Neapolitans were finally driven back with great slaughter. Nor did our sidle escape scot free. Col. Dunne and Major Wyn dham were wounded, but not seriously. Seve ral thousands were engaged on the side of the enemy. Five or six guns were taken by some British tars on leave of absence for 48 hours. They dragged them triumphantly into Santa Maria. The dead and wounded were lying in heaps of 20 and 30 about the fields near Santa Maria. "Two o'clock,Tuesda,y.—This morning a gentleman has just arrived from Caserta, bringing some broken but unsatisfactory intelligence. About 11 o'clock there was a general panic among the people and soldiers in the square before the palace. There was a general rush for the train which was just starting for Naples. My informant was already in it. An officer came riding up sword in hand, commanding the carriages to be off immediately, and away they went; otherwise, there is no doubt, many of the brave Neapolitans in the Liberator's service would have fled by it. The officers were endeavouring to drive them back in every direction, and partially succeeded. Such are the sudden changes of war. The Neapolitans on both sides are cowardly alike ; to-morrow the King's troops may play their wre iched master the same trick. lip to this moment there is no further intelligence as to th e i mme di a t e cause o f the panic, nor its results. Think, howe ver , o f the miserable disputes at such a critical moment going on between the followers of Victor Emm anue l an d the vt Red o frontier. Republicans. The English volunteers. a rrived, and General Cialdini is hesitating n a Bertami has, however, left hoGari baldi,oh which is something gained.

(Bloomsbury) Rifle Corps has lately received an' accession to its numbers by the entrance of an entire company from the establishment of Messrs. Feetham and. Co., of Oxford-street, and will probably-be fu r th or creased by a considerable number from another large establishment. A Volunteer band ie now , i n rapid course of formation. The enrolled member have for a long time past been engaged in target practice—though they cannot as yet obtain butts of their own—both at long and short ranges, and are very shortly to show their capabilities by shooting for a gold challenge medal and two silver pedals. The corps 4s about to be inspee,tlKl by 1. M‘Murdo, with the administrative battalion, of which the 20th and 29th Middlesex form the remain ing part. The review of the Artillery and Rifle Volunteer Corps of Hampshire is appointed to take place at Winchester on the 24th inst. The reviewing officer will be Major-General Lord W. Paulett, C. 8., com manding the south-western district. A general muster hi the officers and Volunteers of the Chatham Rifle Corps took place at the head quarters of the company on Thursday evening last, for the purpose of witnessing the presentation of a silver cup to Corporal Burfield, given by the officers of the corps as a prize for the best rifle-shooting. A number of ladies, together with several of the clergy and gentry of the town, were present to witness the proceedings. The corps having been formed into three sides of a square, Captain Brock, the officer in command, addressed the Volunteers, complimenting them on the great skill which had been displayed by several of the members of the corps in firing for the prize, and he said he had no doubt that next year the names of manyof them wonld figure in the Est of competitors at the National Rifle Association. There had been 41 competitors for the prize, 13 of whom were pronounced exceedingly good. At 304 yards Corporal Burfield made 34 points in 20 rounds, and . thus carried off the prize, which Captain Brock handed him amid the cheers of the assembled spec tators. The officers have announced prizes of' two silver cups to be competed for next year. The Cranbrook Company of the Kent Rifle Vo lunteers have been presented with a silver bugle by Mrs. Tooth. The presentation took place in Swift's Park, whither the company, accompanied by the remainder of the 2d Kent battalion, were marched, and were put through a number of movements by their adjutant, Capt. Ruston, which were performed in a very creditable manner. After the bugle had been presented the whole of the Volunteers present piled arms, and were bountifully supplied with re freshments by Mr. Tooth, the band of the Weald of Kent Volunteers attending on the occasion. A highly successful movement has been made in Canterbury in the establishment of a cadet company among the youths of that city, Mr. G. H. Curtess, an inhabitant, having at his own expense erected a capacious covered building to carry out the project. As soon as the building was completed Mr. Curtess engaged a competent drill instructor, and invited a few boys to assemble for drill. About 20 accepted the invitation, and en the next meeting night the number was increased to 70, and at the present time 120 lads, with consent of their parents, are being taught the manual, platoon, and sword exercises. The members of the North Craven (West York shire) Rifle Corps had a shooting match for a silver cup, value £2O, at Attermire range, near Settle, on Saturday last. The cup was the gift of Mr. J. W. Ferrer, oflngleborough-house, Clapham, near Settle. The shooting was by the long Enfield rifle at four distances, viz,, 650, 700, 800, and 900 yards, and the cup was won by Lieut. Ingleby, who scored 13. Sergeant Clapham, who was second, scored 11. INCOMES OF ARCHDEACONS. A return has been published, which was moved for in the House of Commons by Mr. Hadfield, stating the incomes of archdeacons. They are en titled by immemorial custom to certain small fees from the parishes, churchwardens, and incumbents, the payments from the parishes ran g ing between 1s; and lls. a-piece on each visitation -fees are paid by the incumbents, which a re supposed to bean ancient composition in lies of entertaining the visitor and his retinue. But these fees are quite inadequate.. Two archdeacons return the amount as barely pay-• ing their travelling and other expenses; and now a residentiary canonry is annexed to the archdea conry in some cases, and in others the Ecclesiastical Commissioners make up the income to £2OO a-year. The result, however, is a great variety in the rate of payment. Archdeacon Thorp, of Durham, has, and had before his promotion to the archdeaconry. a cathedral canonry, which brings him in £3, 613 a-year, and which canonry he describes as "t he . future endowment of the archdeaconry by sPP eI9I act of Parliament ;" Archdeacon Thorp, has to state that his office, which was created 1836, " was to have been endowed with a . can - eery in the cathedral city, but the e xpectation of Brist ol , . rt has not been fulfilled ;" but af t e r office for ten years with an i n come the Commissioners agreed to future. The Archdeacon of L i ndisfarne, unlike his colleague £l3O to it in b e av eraging £5O had filled the - ft for there has been diocese of Durham, has re ceivedc ol l cag u n e in burdensome thesamege . grievous m i stak e , ' a e, t k " ham, worth £6OO a year in deed,annexed to hif: .E offi the vicarage of g g 45 miles income is not sufficient circumference, with a but scattered population, icien ‘‘ by i an very nt s .

It would be also a mistake to suppose that the office of hd arc eacon is a sinecure. The Archdeacon of Worcester mentions in his return that he has to visit upon an average 100 parishes every year; the Archdeacon of Northampton states that he visits every parish in the archdeaconry once every four years ; the Archdeacon of Carmar then, that 130 churches require his personal inspec tion, and the last two years he travelled between 1,100 and 1,200 miles. THE BISHOP OF WORCESTER,--We are sorry to, announce that the health of the Bishop of Worcester is such as to give much uneasiness to his family. The vener able diocesan has for some time past been in a -cleol in m : ing state of health, and hi s a d vance d age —h e is in •"•"' 77th year—gives little hope of his pe rma nent rocove r Y° Prayers were offered in all the churches of the diocese on Sunday last in his behalf. The Bishop wan oonsecrate; l Bishop of Sodor and Man in 1840, and was 'trans lated .° Worcester in the following year, s o that he h a s been near ly twenty years head of the diocese of Worcrer,ter.
