Thiys thus admitted are received free, boarded, clothed, educated, and taught .ill they are 11 years o age. With the view o secure the election of the most deserving cases, the Committe have from the first discouraged canvas sing, and they do not print any addresses of the subscribers. The voting papers contain a description of each case, as care ful y investieated by the Committee, and with this informa tion the subscribers are able to judge for themselves as to those most e igible for free admission. This El ene was opened in April, 1864. It was designed to take in:he little ones whose charact r and oircumstauces disqualify the e for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tender age precludes their admission to the Refuges. Such are th se who, from neglect, are already on the roa to ruin. Such are those who have been deserted by their natural protectors and left to beecume idle wanderers. Such are those whose parents may have at one time or other received parish re'ief, and who are now friendless orphans. Such are those whose parents are breakers of the law, or are in prison, and who train their children in the same path. Such are those whose evil associations have already had their painful effect, and must lead them to a life of crime and misery. There are now 50 little inmates from about four years of age to 10. There is room for nearly 10 , and the Committee would joyfully see the Home filled at once ; they only wait for the necessary subscriptions. The Committee feel constrained to plead for those who cannot thus plead for themselves ; and, referring to the cir cumstances of some who have been already admitted, they ask—is it right to mace a widow and her tsmily paupers for life because one of them (the naughty boy of the ism ly) runs wild in the streets and is beyond her control ? Is it kind to tell her, because she has so large a family, that you will not help her to put one of them into a Home.but that the must ail go into "the house ?" Is it doing the b at we can for the little destitute orphan to send him to the workhouse. Is it Meg to others as we would they should do unto a that when these little ones have unnatural parents wh turn them into the streets, or force them by ill-treatment to " MI away," none of us sheu dbe found to are for them, to speak a kindly word to them, to befriend them, to house and clothe th m ? Shall we leave them still on the doorstep, passing by on the other side, or else exclaiming "Am I my brother's keeper?" The necessity for an Institution for these little ones is evi dent from the police static Ms which show that in London alone, in one year, no fewer than 311 boys under 0 years of age, have been apprehended for various offences, 79 of whom were convicted and punished, while the bulk, 232 were dis charged by the magistrates with a rebuke, as being too young to punish. though not too young to learn the beginnings of crime. On the other hand, there are numbers who, but for the timely help afforded by such an Institution, must otherwise become paupers, and losing all ideas of self-reli ance and self-help, be permanent burdens to the State. The Home for Little Boys has, therefore, been established to reseae the little ones, to save them from the prison on the one hand, and the workhouse on the other, and to endeavour to make them useful members of society. The daily routine of the ins itution presents all the fea tures of a home, a school, and a workshop. The little ones are cared for as children ; they have their regular meals, their suitable clothing, their hours of play and amusement, and their singing class. They are treated as scholars ; every morning is devoted to scho , il work—reading, and writing, and ciphering. and Scriptural instruction, with occasional lessons in oljects and other subjects. But they are also trained to work. As they must all, ant that at a very early period in life, earn their living by the sweat of their brow, they are here at once taught habits of industry. So the after noons are occupied with various industrial occupations— making brown paper bags for bankers, and white raper bags for tradesmen, and door mats and servants' kneelers for any .who will buy them ; picking the coil for he mats, mending the o other, &o. Some assist the master in the garden, digging, planting, watering, weeding, and so forth. By degrees they are being made useful in the house, scrubbing and sweeping, while the elder ones clean all the boots, knives, am. In this way it is sought to fit them for an active working llfe. 2d. By payment of ss. a week, made quarterly in advance. All children must be under 10 years of age at the time of admission. Those received on payment are admitted at any time as soon as approved by the Uommlttee, Elections of children to be adzaitted free will take place as frequently as the increase in the annual subscriptions will admit, till the Home is full; they will thea be held periodi cally Forms of application for the admission of children may be had at the Rome, and of the Honorary f.3etretary, 7 l) NEWSPAPER c . . z . ,,,,..A,, z... -4 /..,..._,a.,,_,z. .(....„(-4.,,, .:.., ~ ;,..7 citt i:--,..4.,_ I„-- , ,;• : _,__. • ~. c,;..t.,,,„ ..;: ~ r A . 4 4 r I . 4- A --''.

There were faint lights wandering here and there in the deep gloom of the fir-wood, faint and flickering lights like fire flies, marking the spots where the artificers were at their preparatory work. It was as on the stage,- when flashes of light steal through the side scenes previous to the great moment when the decorations are to go asunder, and some great, show, say the Kingdom of Hades in " Don Giovanni," is to blaze forth at one instant, to the amazement of the dazzled spectator. The air was mild and.still, and the dark ness of the hour was hardly relieved in that hollow gorge by the few stars twinkling overhead. The hour was well chosen, heaven and earth were propitious, and when the signal rocket flashed in the air, the soul of every bystander was thoroughly ripened for the coming wonder by those fe .v minutes of trembling expectation. The rocket flashed up, the Bengal lights blazed out—red lights, green lights, violet lights. First the dark firs and the russet and gold beech bushes were all on fire ; then the waters gleamed out, rill after rill, blushing in the red, smil ing in the green, fainting in the violet beams. A rich warm life rushed from end to end all along that heaving stream—rich, warm life, where only one second before there was only blank stillness and gloom. Rapid and fitful the ever-changing hues flitted up and down the successive leaps of the fall, and calm, and pure, and solemn the silver tide poured down, unmoved in its perpetual flow, swelling its smooth arches, plashing on its hollow rock beds, as unconcerned in all that glory of light as if it were only basking in its wonted sunbeams, or reflecting the pale glimmer of the genial moon. The effect was magic. The flood of those coloured lights did not merely flutter here and there on the surface of the water ; it went through their liquid mass from the rocky paths in their rear, shone through it as through the purest crystal, setting off each foaming billow, as one pressed upon the other in endless succession, imparting animation to the whole pillar of water, as if living things, tritons or water nymphs, had been floating up and down be neath that smooth, compact surfaee—vague nonde script beings, dancing and fluttering, like motes in a sunbeam. The effect was magic, not to be for gotten by any one who has seen it ; worth seeing at the cost of much money and ever so much trouble. All my theories on the true and false beautiful in art and nature were blown to the ground, and as the lights faded away, and the waterfall was replunged into its nocturnal darkness, I had to avow that I had been delighted in spite of my preconceptions, charmed in defiance of my better reason. PRICE 4d., STAMPED sd.' it will, perhaps, be said, "But the South had no food to give them." Now, in the first place, Ander sonville was in Georgia, and months later Sherman marched through Georgia, finding abundance of provisions on all sides of him. Moreover, the United States' Sanitary Commission sent food to Andersonville for the use of prisoners, and, among others, J. H. Davidson, of the lowa Cavalry, de posed that he " saw four or five hundred boxes " of this food stored at the depot, marked " United States." They were never given to the poor fellows inside that ghastly stockade. Lastly—for it is useless to multiply the loathsome details—a Confederate re turn gives - the number of prisoners who died in this one pen in August, 1864, as 2,993 ; and Dr. Balser stated to the Commission that of 3,000 prisoners discharged after the war, " not one-half will ever be able to resume their former occupations." Here is a copy of a note taken from the body of a prisoner found dead. It was from a father to his son : " August 27, 1864 " Oliver,—l died from sheer starvation, and don't for the world tell your mother of the awful condition which I am compelled to die in. " RICHARD FAIRCLOUGH." This is sufficient to show that when I reported to you that terrible cruelties had been practised upon Federal prisoners at Andersonville, and that great indignation was felt in the North on account of them, I did not speak without being ready with " chapter and verse " in proof. If the conduct described above is " generous and humane," then very foolish and nonsensical ideas about generosity and humanity have heretofore been current in the United States. " Ach wunderschon ! Sieh'mal, wie schiin !" eja culated the open-mouthed German Fr4ulein, with incessant iteration. " Mon Dieu ! que c'est joli ! que c'est joli !" que c'est joli !" screamed the fidgety Frenchwomen, with whirlwind volubility. " Hold your wretched tongues, and bottle up your tiresome enthusiasm," grumbled John Bull, invisible in that darkness, using far stronger epithets, than I like putting down in writing. The jabber of the enraptured spectators was quite overpowering, and did not a little, indeed, towards spoiling the grandeur of the sight, and drowning the rush of the waters, which vainly strove to give the gorgeous exhibition the accompaniment of their unceasing music. It would be selfish, no doubt, to wish to be alone at such a treat ; but if it were possible to gag or muzzle nine out of ten of the heterogeneous peo ple who come in for their just share, there is every probability that the enjoyment would be less dis turbed, and its recollection more unalloyed. ALPINE TOURISTS. (From the Tines' Correspondent) INTERLAKEN, Sept. 17. I went to the Giessbach last evening to see the waterfall lighted up. I had no great faith in the power of art to set off the beauties of nature, and was disposed to look upon the performance as little better than a mere trick, a" take in," a mountebank jugglery. I am not satisfied that the Coliseum at Rome could have any better illumination at night than such as it receives for a good part of every month by the pale moonbeams ; neither do I admire the ghastly look imparted to the Vatican marbles by the flaring torchlight. Nay I feel some inclina tion to quarrel with the aid that mere chemical or mechanical means are made to lend to art itself. I do not think much the better of Danneker's Ariadne for all the pink hues with which her cold marble is glowing in Bethman's garden, nor am I ever willing to pronounce an opinion on the necklace and ear rings of Gibson's coloured Venus. There may be authority for it in all classical models ; but we have eyes of our own, and will not take the law from Praxiteles himself. You may take what is good from the Greeks, but need not take as good all that is Greek. Nevertheless and notwithstanding, it is a duty to see and prove everything, and in the afternoon at 4 I took the steamer on the Lake of Brienz to see the Giessbach lighted up. The Giessbach is an old ac quaintance of mine, not by any means the grand est, but certainly the loveliest, of Swiss waterfalls. You go up a deep, narrow, gloomy glen, scooped out of a rough mountain side, all grown up with fir-wood to the summit, with open glades in the middle, covered with rich verdure, and set off with clumps of trees and flowerbeds, much after the fashion of a nobleman's park. Indeed, I think I have seen something off Taymouth, in the grounds of the Marquis of Breadalbane, that bears some faint resemblance to the Giessbach Glen. On your right as you go up the winding pass you have a steep hillside, and on the top of its smooth crest a deep gap whence the water falls down in seven successive leaps, bordered on each side by the dark fir-wood— the monotony of which is pleasingly relieved by beech bushes by the water-side, beech bushes rich at this season with glowing gold and russet tints. There are easy paths up each of the seven steps ; there are three bridges thrown athwart the chasm ; it is, in short, a kind of garden cascade, decked out in all the charms by which the hand of man can enhance the beauties of nature's work. It is acces sible at every point up to the summit, both in front and here and there at the back of the arched pillars of water, as they split, gushing on the rocks, and come down in separate streams to join their waters in the deep rocky shells, from which they again branch out into sundered rills, till they find their common rest in the still bosom of the lake. Stand before the Giessbach, just outside the little chalet, which Swiss industry has fitted up as a cafe and restaurant, on the opposite side of the glen ; look up to the eternal play of those laughing, limpid waters—scanty as the long drought has made them this season ; listen to their melodious, monotonous plash, and the world must go hard indeed with you if all your cares and sorrows are not lulled to rest, if you do not feel supremely happy for the moment. It was evening, and we had some trouble in tear ing ourselves away from the charming spot to attend to the dull earthly duties of our 7 o'clock dinner. The Hotel de la Giessbach is one of the most pic turesque in Switzerland ; it is one of those well con conducted establishments which in some manner re concile the illused traveller to absence from home. The landlord greets you at the door as you come in; he hovers about you like a guardian angel, invisible yet omnipresent, during all your stay; anticipates all your wants, forestalls all your wishes, and only leaves you to the tender cares of his bevy of daughters— he has, I am told, seven of them—and of other maids, all tidy and blooming and pretty, waitresses at board no less than in chamber ; mine host him self being the only individual of the male sex in at tendance whose foot is allowed to tread the floors within his hospital threshold. It is as refreshing as Mahomed's paradise. There is not another hotel I know of in all Switzerland in which the heavy tramp, the creaking shoes, the hot breath, the fuss and clumsiness of waiters are superseded by the mi nistrations of these cheering parlourmaids. Fresh and lovely they look in their Bernese costume, the most coquettish of female attire--their black velvet corsets, their spotless white lawn chemisettes, their fustian jupons, their dangling silver chains, their ribands and lace streamers, the strings of garnet beads round their necks, the long golden trinkets at their ears. It is the most modest, most becoming, the most bewitching costume, and those brilliant dames at the Paris balls who think nothing so fas cinating as a dress slipping down, far down below the shoulders, and dragging far behind their heels on the floor, must know but little of men or their tastes, or they would sooner take their models from these untutored mountain lasses than follow the law of fashion as set by empresses and mantua-makers. Well, the Hotel de la Giessbach isunder the direc tion of as provident a ruling power as that of the Zahringer Hof of Freiburg, the very best in Switzer land, and has over that renowned caravanserai the a d van tage of this happyinnovation of parlourmaids. Neat and pretty as most of them are, the daughters and handmaidens of Herr Schmidlin at Giessbach do not come up to the grand queenlike beauty of what old stagers like myself may remember, about a score of years ago, as the three sisters of the Grimsel, three damsels as far famed as the five sisters of York, whose elegant toilette, high-bred manners, and musical accomplishments offered so strange a contrast to the wild scenery of that grimmest of all mountain passes in which they had their summer home. Grand and stately, and almost weird, those three maidens looked, with their rich black hair and black lustrous eyes, with their bare arms on their harp, and the black silk dresses setting off their somewhat gipsylike but right royal features and splendid figures. What became of them people gifted with a better memory than mine may tell, I have some indistinct recollection of some tragic catastrophe connected with that Grimsel Hospice, some awful breaking-up of the hotel, which may, for aught I know, be an 411-famed and haunted ruin at the present day. But I must not forget the waterfall. We walked Arrest of Fenian Agents in England. Six detective officers belonging to the Dublin police force arrived in Manchester yesterday morn ing, holding several warrants in their hands for the arrest of members of the Fenian Brotherhood. These officers proceeded to the Town-hall, Salford, where they placed themselves in communication with Mr. Taylor, the chief constable of the Salford police. From there they were accompanied by Sergeants Quick and Hinnsworth to the house of a bookbinder named Patrick Skelly, Chapel-street. Here they appprehended Skelly, and on searching the premises found several documents and publications of a trea sonable character, which were seized. They next proceeded to arrest John Fpttrell, a porter in the service of the London and North Western Railway Company, who was found at his work. On search ing bis house at Kidderminster's-court, Chapel street, they found some documents relating to the Fenian movement, and a quantity of arms and am munition, all of which were of course seized. The two prisoners were sent off by train to Liverpool, on their way to Dublin. Acting-inspector Swallow, of Dublin, and two other officers, remain behind with Government warrants for the arrest of other mem bers of the Fenian Brotherhood, and to await fur ther instructions from Dublin. Skelly, the book binder, formerly had a stall in Smithfield-market, Manchester, and was a seller of old books there for many years. Some arrests will probably be made in other manufacturing towns, but not in Manches ter. The arrests here were made so promptly and quietly as to create no sensation, and the prisoners were taken through the streets without attracting crowds. Many exaggerated rumours are current regarding the Fenian organisation in Liverpool, and it is believed that bodies of Fenians have been drilling in the outskirts of the town. The police are on the alert. two tmreaa ns detectives je James r mi o n m efso rgDmuuai Quigley given in Dublin, an d of documents clearly proving renr rho Y ilecw:si e hnt s eacg t lsdeh e rdaotiagtsuyosenchmd hisooe connexion inenchel capture possession wwi tahs the conspiracy.

COLLISION ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. —A collision, attended with serious damage, occurred on the Great Western Railway, near the Reading Station, on Wednesday morning. The goods train, which left Basingstoke that morning at 8.40 for Wolverhampton, passed over the loop line near Reading, and was taking on trucks at the West Junction, when the goods train for Gloucester, which left Paddington, at one o'clock, ap proached, and owing to the fog which prevailed at the time the driver of the Gloucester train did not observe the sig nals in sufficient time to avoid running into the Wolver hampton. The collision was a violent one, andthe engine was considerably damaged, while four trucks were thrown off the metals, but fortunately no person was hurt. The line was not elpared for traffic until half-past nine. THE STEAMSHIP RHONE.—The Roal Mail Com pany's fine new screw steamship Rhone, commanded by Capt, E. M. Leeds, was taken to Stoke's-bay yesterday for an official trial of her speed at the measured mile, and she obtained an average of about 14 knots per hour. The results of four runs were as follows :—First run, 4 min. 55 sec., or 12.205 knots per hour; second run, 3 min. 58 sec., or 15.126 knots ; third run, 4 min. 47 sec., or 12.543 knots ; fourth run, 4 min. 7 sec., or 14.575 knots. Revolutions of engines, 58}; vacuum, 27iin. ; steam, 251 b. She had 535 tons of coals and 35 tons of water on board, and her draught was 18ft. 10in. forward, and 18ft. 6iin. aft. The gentlemen present to witness the trial included Captain Sir John D. Hay, chairman of the Millwall Company, and Mr. Charles Lungley, director of works ; Captain W. Vincent and Mr. R. Marshall, directors of the Royal Mail Company ; Cap tain Hands, R.N., Mr. Luke, and Mr. Rubie, Government officials ; Captain Hay, R.N., Captain T. A. Bevis, Messrs. R. Ritchie, J. Bowers, J. Langdon, G. Lungley, P. Lungley, N. Cook, (tc. The Rhone is one of the finest vessels in the service, and she has accommodation for 253 first class passengers, 30 second, and 30 third, and has stowage capacity for 1,200 tons of cargo and coals. Her total length is 310 ft. ; beam, 40ft. ; depth to main deck, 25ft. Gin. ; and height between main and spar decks, lift. She has engines of 500 horse power, with tubular boilers, superheaters on Mr. Ritchie's plan, as applied to all the company's vessels, and surface condensers, which can be changed to jet condensers almost instantly, without either slowing or stopping the engines. The cylinders, which are 72in. diameter and 4ft. stroke, are fitted with expansion valves, which can be adjusted with the greatest nicety while everything is working. The screw is Griffith's patent, diameter 18ft., and 29ft. pitch. The tonnage of the vessel is 2,434 tons old measurement. The temperature of the feed water was 126 deg The whole of the machinery worked with the greatest ease during the trial. The Rhone is a noble-looking vessel, and all her passenger and other arrangements are of the most superior character. The chief saloon is a very handsome apartment, occupying the full width of the ship, and chastely decorated. The Rhone will take out the Brazil and River Plate mails on the 9th of October.

Talbot, K.C.8., for mally opened the Recreation-room in the Naval Barracks at Sheerness. This event may be re garded as the inauguration of a new era, and it is due to the Lords Commissioners of the Admi ralty that the kindly concession now made by them should be widely known and appropriated as it de serves to be by the class for whose benefit it is, ex clusively intended. Sheerness has an unfortunate notoriety as being the least attractive of all the naval ports, and there was consequently the greater need that some plan should be devised to overcome the repugnance seamen feel to a long term of service there. With this view, their lordships having given the necessary orders, a spacious and cheerful room in the barracks, 40ft. by 37ft., has been quickly adapted and made habitable, the stone floor boarded over, good sashes fixed in the window places, stoves fitted, gas laid on, and the walls hung with excel lent maps of all quarters of the globe. The amuse ments provided for the men are chess, bagatelle, draughts, backgammon, dominoes, and other games —and at a convenient distance a piece of ground in the dockyard has been converted into a first-rate skittle-alley, covered and protected from the wea ther. In addition to this there is a reading and re freshment-room, where in the former a payment of id. per week constitutes membership, and in the latter, for 2d., an excellent cup of coffee, with milk and sugar, and a plate of bread and butter may be procured. The avidity with which the sailors and marines thronged into the places thus provided for their entertainment was most gratifying to observe, and it is to be hoped that the old aversion from the locality will henceforth be completely overcome. All the naval authorities have gone into the movement con amore, the Admiral evincing constant interest in a scheme so largely beneficial to the men, and so well calculated to diminish offences against discip line—the Captain Superintendent giving all the in fluence of his position to carry out completely their lordships' wishes, and the Captain, Commander, and officers actively and assiduously labouring to the same good end. On Wednesday the men, speaking through their committee, composed of petty officers, tendered their grateful acknowledg ments for the considerate care and attention with which their comfort and interests have been pro vided for. Yesterday her Majesty's ironclad frigate Belle rophon, 16, of 4,270 tons burden, entered on the preliminary trial of her machinery, to enable the Admiralty officials to ascertain her rate of steaming at light draught. The steam tender Adder, Master- Commander W. Blakey, left Chatham Dockyard yesterday morning with the officials, under whose superintendence the trials were to take place. These included Capt. W. H. Stewart, C. 8., superintendent of the dockyard; Capt. Tatham, of the Bellerophon; Commander Stokes, Mr. Reed, Chief Constructor of the Navy ; Mr. Dinnen, of the engineer depart ment of the Admiralty; Professor Woolley, LL.D., Mr. Thornton, master shipwright; Mr. Baker, chief engineer and inspector of machinery afloat; Mr. Bar naby, assistant constructor of the navy, and other officers. By 10 o'clock the Bellerophon was reached, lying inside the Nore with her steam up, ready for starting. At this time her draught of water forward wQ,s 16ft. 4in., and aft 23ft. 6in., the quantity of coals on board being 174 tons, and other stores about 50 tons. Her screw was set at a pitch of 21ft. 81in., with the immersion of the upper edge of lft. 11 in. The weather was exceedingly unfavourable for the trial, the wind blowing strong with a force of four to five, which threw it into foam round the ship. At first it was considered that the trial had better be postponed, but it was at last determined to proceed, mainly from the anxiety evinced by the engineers. The firm of Messrs. Penn and Son was represented by Mr. Matthews, and the engines were in charge of Mr. Wigzell. On starting from her moorings the displacement of the vessel was ascertained to be 5,600 tons. The engines were found to work very satisfactorily, although steam had only been got up for the first time on Tuesday. The Bellerophon was soon advancing at a high speed, and throwing up a great wave at her bow. This arose from the water meeting the long projecting submerged stem. On reaching the measured mile at the Maplin Sands it was determined to test the vessel, although at the time the screw could only be brought to realise a maxi mum of. 53 revolutions, while the contract guaran teed that the revolutions were to be 70 per minute, but at no time yesterday were 60 revolutions reached. After a slight delay four runs were taken with the following results :—First run, time, 3min. 57sec. ; speed, 15.190 knots ; steam, 221 b ; vacuum, 26f ; revolution of engines, 59 ; second run, 4min. 54sec. ; speed, 12.245 knots ; steam, 221 b vacuum, 26 ; revolution of engines, 58 ; third run, 4min. 9sec. ; speed, 14.457 knots ; steam, 221 b. ; vacuum, 26} ; revolution of engines, 57} ; fourth run, 4min. 39sec. ; speed 12.903 knots ; steam, 211 b. ; vacuum, 26 ; revolution of. engines, 55g. The above read ings would give an average speed of 13.698 knots, but from the circumstances stated, . and from the fact that the engine showed a falling off in the work ing of the screw after each run, no proper estimate can be formed of the true speed of the vessel. At the close of the fourth run it was found that so many circumstances militated against the trial, among others inferior coal, that it was determined to discontinue the speed trial, and some experiments were then made in testing the steering of the frigate. The adoption of the balanced rudder on board a vessel of the Bellerophon class was at first considered to be a doubtful experiment, but the re sults of the trials made yesterday were in the highest degree n u r futhernsatisfactory.rudder With the helm at port, and the 32 deg., the helm was put o v er in ht men in 23 secs., and the com plete circle accomplished in 4 min. 30 secs., and the half circle in 1 min. 50 sec., with the helm to star board the rudder was brought to an angle of 37 deg. by 8 men in 25 sec. The value of the balanced rudder in a vessel of the Bellerophon class, which is required to steer readily to enable her broadside battery guns to be worked with advantage, will be apparent when, in the case of the Warrior, for in stance, the average time in making the circle is eight minutes. At the close of the experiments with the steering gear it was decided to abandon the further trials till to-day, and the Bellerophon was moored alongside the Ocean, coal-ship, in readiness to pro ceedmeantimehand-picked The screw steamship Blenheim, 60, recently doing h s e h r ew sp wril e l e eb d iseh t s r uc i po a ap la llsie this morning. In the coastguard duty at Pembroke, but now in Hamoaze, has been cleared out, and will be placed in dock at Keyham, for the purpose of being broken up. The screw steam frigate Liverpool, 39, Captain Rowley Lambert, from Ireland, arrived in Plymouh Sound yesterday morning. She brought some supernumerary seamen. The screw steam storeship 'Dromedary, Master Commander J. H. Allard, left Plymouth on Wed nesday evening for Ascension. We regret to announce the death of Col. Charles Hogge, C. 8., of the Royal (late Bengal) Artillery, at Erith, on the 19th inst. From Hart's Army List it appears that Col. Rogge served in the Punjab campaign of 1848-9 as Commissary of Ordnance. He was present at the passage of the Cheenab, at Ramnugger, thebattles of Chillianwallah and Gooje rat. For his services he obtained a medal and two clasps, and brevets of Major and Lieut.-Col. He served throughout the Indian mutiny, and was wounded at Meerut. Subsequently he had charge of the ordnance-park at the siege and capture of Delhi. He was highly commended in a despatch by Sir A. Wilson, and thanked by the Governor- General. He was Director of Artillery to the army under Lord Clyde at the siege and capture of Luck now. On Col. Hogge's return to England in 1863 he-was selected -by the Commander-in-Chief . to be a member of the Ordnance Select Committee, where he displayed the same zeal and ability as he had shown in the field. His death was caused by liver complaint, from which he had suffered for some time. AMERICA. (From a Correspondent of the Times.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. I The trial of Captain Wirtz, of the late Confede rate service, for treating the Federal prisoners at Andersonville with great and almost unexampled cruelty, is the most important event of the hour., It is not only important as showing how far the bit ter feeling which has been excited in the North by stories of barbarity practised in Southern prisons is founded on sense, reason, and indisputable evi dence, but it is of consequence in its bearing upon the probable future action of the general Govern ment towards the Southern leaders. The trial of Wirtz is incidentally bringing out proof of the fact which, when I stated it, with the strongest evidence before me, was peremptorily and instantly denied— the fact, namely, that the Confederate Government knew of the misery and death which reigned supreme at Andersonville. That Wirtz was less guilty than some of his superiors is, I think, proved, and I hope it will beborne in mind when judgment is pronounced upon him. He is a sallow, fearful, anxious-looking man, wha naturally tries to escape the gaze of a crowded court, and seems as much shocked at some of the evidence as his judges. I believe that the answer of his counsel to the accusations against him will be that he obeyed orders, and thus they will heap further condemnation upon the Confederate Government. But, whatever the result of the trial may be as regards Wirtz, it is as clear as noonday that awful atrocities were committed against the unhappy Northern soldiers at Andersonville. The to quoque would be no answer, even if a counter charge of cruelty could be proved against the North. But it cannot. Let those who say it can bring for ward their evidence, as the Government here is doing. Do not let hearsay be set against sworn testimony ; no not let what one man " saw" weigh against what hundreds " felt" as well as " saw." I say again that the barbarous treatment of Northern prisoners in Southern pens fills the Northern people with anger. This is not an opinion, but a fact, which every Eng lishman now travelling in this country can confirm, provided his mind be not filled and choked with foregone conclusions. Youmay see it in every street, and hear it in every house. The Northern people have not a particle of ill-feeling towards the South ern leaders, except that which arises from the re membrance of cruelties which were ." a disgrace to civilisation." It may be said that these last are harsh words. To assuage the irritation which they may occasion to Southern adherents, I may mention that they are taken from an official report in Anderson ville, presented by a Confederate officer to his own Government in August, 1864. Since, then, it is certain that greater issues than the personal safety of Capt. Wirtz depend upon his trial, it is desirable to gather together the pith of the evidence so far as it has yet gone. Dr. J. C. Bates was a medical officer of the Southern army appointed to visit Andersonville. His sworn evidence states that the rations were " less than 20oz. in 24 hours." He thought it likely that " men would starve to death" on such an allowance, especially if it was of bad quality. He had seen men " hobbling up to wells" carrying tin cans in their mouths because they could not carry the cans any other way. They were eaten up with scurvy. Dr. J. C. Pilot, also a Confederate surgeon—for I purposely choose South testimony at present, in order to let the Confede rates tell their own story—reported on September 6, 1864, that the wards of the hospital were " wi e ld with gangrene," and that the medical attendants " had not even stimulants to support the system under its depressing influence." The bread served out, this Confederate officer complained, was " totally unfit for the use of the sick ;" " the meat (beef) re ceived by the patients does not amount to over two ounces a day," and he added an urgent appeal for means to alleviate the sufferings of the prisoners. When Richmond was captured about two tons weight of papers relating to the Confederacy and its Go vernment were seized and brought to Washington. I saw some of these papers this morning which had just been put in evidence. Allow me to quote two or three facts and passages from them. One series consists of the returns of sick prisoners admitted to the Ander sonville Hospital and of the number who died. These figures, compiled by Southern officers, show that 17,000 Northern prisoners went into the hospital, of whom nearly 13,000 died. To make this damning fact a little more comprehensive I quote from two other Confederate papers put in evidence this morn ing, and admitted to be genuine. They are both signed " D. J. Chandler, Lieutenant-Colonel," and addressed to the Assistant Adjutant-General of the Confederate Army. The first is dated the sth of July, 1864. It states that a space of only six square feet was allowed to each prisoner ; that thus fearfully crowded they had no shelter and no good water ; " the ground being entirely bare of trees, no shelter is within reach of the prisoners." It further in formed the officers of Mr. Davis's Government that about 20 prisoners a day died whom the doctors had never seen, and knew nothing about, and therefore " it was not possible to state the number of sick and dying." A month later Colonel Chandler—let it constantly be remembered that he was a Southern officer writing to his own Government describing what Colonel Fremantle calls " that generous and humane" treatment of Federal prisoners —this officer wrote to beg his superiors to remove General Win der, in whose department the prison-pen was, and appoint " some one who at least will not advocate deliberately and in cold blood the propriety of leav ing them (the prisoners) in their present condition until their number has been sufficiently reduced by death to make the present arrangements sufficient for their accommodation, and who will not consider it a matter of self-laudation and boasting that he has never been inside the stockade, a place the horrors of which are difficult to describe, which is a disgrace to civilisation, and the condition of which he might, by the exercise of a little energy and judgment, even with the limited means at his command, have con siderably improved." The evidence of Southern officers might be alone sufficient to depict Andersonville accurately ; but it is fair to hear a little of what men who suffered in it have to say. Dr. A. W. Burrows, of the 27th Massa chusetts regiment, was taken prisoner and confined there. He says that he found his fellow-captives lying on the ground, the majority without shelter. Hounds were set on the trail of escaping prisoners, and in two cases which came under his observation men were mangled. The matter used for vaccina tion was poisonous, and used to result in large sores. The morals of the prisoners were corrupted by this cruel treatment. The slops of the cook-house were thrown into the stream, the water of which the prisoners had to drink ; human bodies lay some times for three days unburied, and in the month of August (1864) the deaths were 207 in one day. Rations were stopped for a whole day from the whole 30,000 prisoners for the offences of a few. Numbers of witnesses were sworn to the fact that when they entered the prison their rings and other trinkets were all taken from them. J. C. Alcock deposed that he saw Wirtz shoot a prisoner dead with a revolver because he asked for " a little fresh air." Martin E. Hogan—l am taking the evidence quite at random from a pile which lies before me—swore that the men " lay in their own filth, calling for water and crying for food," but no attention was paid them. W. Belcher, 16th Illinois Cavalry, said " the prisoners were kept in the sun all day, and were not allowed to procure water. He heard Wirtz say that he was killing more Yankees than those who were serving at the front. The same man said he had seen several men shot for even stretching their hand beyond the "dead line."

Ransomes were successful at Brackley, but Messrs. Howard carried off both All England prizes at the other places. At the Royal Buckinghamshire meeting at Aylesbury on Wednesday*, Messrs. Howard's ploughman was disqualified for competition by informal entry ; but their plough, in the hands of a local man, won Sir Anthony Rothschild's ten guinea cup, for which there were no less than fifteen competitors.
