JULY. Carlow ture of thousands a year. He did not begrudge Finsbury a park, but he should have thought that Finsbury, which talked so much about the advantages of self-government, would have taken the maintenance of it into its own hands. This was not self-government, but centralisation, and the project of Sir Benjamin Hall was a myth. Under these circumstances, and to make the matter as little of an evil as possible, he should support the recommendation of the committee. Mr. LEGG supported tho recommendation of tho com mittee. Mr. BRUMFIELD believed that if the Board allowed houses to be built near this park it would be a great evil. Mr. HALL said it was a farco and a mockery to call this "Finsbury Park," as it was only a stone's-throw from the boundary of it, and the bulk of the poorer inhabitants were not within threo miles of it. As regarded Victoria Park, the Government, in devoting 250 acres to it, reserved the right to appropriate 50 acres of it to building purposes, and took powers to appropriate 20 acres of Battersea Park. if they gave 100 acres for a park at Finsbury, ho thought they would act most liberally towards the inhabitants, and he hoped the report of the committee would be carried by a large majority. _ _ fir. TIT; 111. P., hoped, if the thing was to bo dono at all, it would be done handsomely ; and by not damaging the park by buildings their kindness would be appreciated by the people of Finsbury. Mr. Rocca hoped that Finsbury would be put in posses sion of this park without any buildings whatever being put upon it.. Mr. DALToN said it was his opinion that the support of parks should bo derived from such portions of the land as could be spared being devoted to building purposes. Mr. WESTERTON said if this was a matter which affected Finsbury alone, it would be all Very well; it was ono that affected the whole of the metropolis. Now, as to the size of the proposed park, he found that the Green Park con tained only 58 acres, and St. James's Park 61 acres, so that together they contained only 119 acres, while they proposed to give Finsbury 100 acres. He asserted that was a very noble thing, and believed that the people of Finsbury would be deeply indebted to the board foi its liberality. Mr. DouLToN, M.P;, supported the original motion, and mentioned that the proposed park for the densely-populated district of termondsoy was only 60 acres. The CHAIRMAN then put the question, and the amend ment was negatived by a majority of 26 to 15. Mr. SAUNDERS then moved another amendment, to the effect that only 10 acres of land sr:lonia be sold for building purposes. Mr Duns seconded the amendment. This led to a further discussion, but eventually the amendment was negatived bp a majority of 23 to 17. The original motion was then put and agreed to. The Chief Engineer (Ir. Bazalgette) having road his usual report, some routine business was transacted, and the board adjourned. The Second Fenian Raid. General Sweeny with General Spears, Murphy, and Mahon, laid their heads together at St. Albans on the sth instant, and decided on carrying the war for the liberation of Ireland into the enemy's coantry of Canada. Next day the advance of Fenian troops left Highgate about 10 o'clock. Colonel Conlin's command, 600 strong, led the van ; Colonel Scanlon's regiment, 300 strong, followed ; and they were succeeded by Colonel Connor's regi ment, also 300 men. They halted at Franklin, a mile south of the frontier, and spent the night in two barns, where they felt rather uncomfortable, being drenched with rain and short of rations. Pickets were thrown out to a line three miles over the frontier, who encountered and exchanged a few harmless shots with the British. Early next morn ing the march was resumed, and at half-past 8 on the 7th June the invading force crossed the frontier, where Colonel Contrie unfurled the beautiful green silk flag of Ireland, presented to the brotherhood by the Fenian ladies of Maldon, and round it the men gathered, cheering vociferously, and waving the green folds defiantly over British soil. Then, with heads uncovered, they registered a vow, " that it should never be torn from them while a spark of life was left." The . advance was reinforced by a Connecticut company, 60 strong ; and General Spear arrived and assumed command, just before crossing the line. He addressed the men, by whom he was greeted with loud and prolonged cheers, as follows : SOLDIERS—You aro still standing upon American terri tory, and you are not to molest or insult the people of I his section. I bog of you to commit no depredations on this side of the lino. (Cries of " General, we will not.") There, said he, pointing towards the Canada line, aro the enemies of your country. When we get there wo will remember the wrongs of many a century and will strike a blow and try to free Ireland; but remember, no harm to the women and children. When we got tho mon they shall be yours, to do with them as you please. There was no river to cross—nothing but an imaginary line, marked by an iron post driven into the ground, with the following inscription : " TREATY OF WASHINGTON BOUNDARY, AUGUST, 1842." General Spear proceeded to make himself com fortable when over the border in the hospitable house of an Irish emigrant, whose daughters, Grace and Ratty, played several airs upon the piano, and en tertained both the General and his Staff in a hand some manner. The men, however, out in the fields, had by no means such pleasant times. A foraging party brought in twenty head of cattle and a large number of sheep, with some prisoners, who reported the scare general for fifty miles into the interior. Meantime General Meade arrived at St. Albans, and General Sweeny and General Mahon were at once arrested. The former was quietly captured in his bed. Sir John Michel coming in Canada, pushed forward a battery of artillery, the 7th Fusiliers, and a body of Canadian volunteers to welcome Spear over the border. The distance from Montreal to Pigeon Hill is 100 miles, but the Feuians appear not to have waited the attack at Pigeon Hill, but to have entrenched themselves in another position, where the men became demoralised with bad whisky and no food. The sworn defen ders of the green flag rapidly became a rowdy mob. The nearer the British troops drew the greater the desertions from the Fenian ranks, and the de voted band were finally driven pell-mell back across the frontier by a charge of the Governor-General's body-guard. With the exception of the few killed and the 16 captured, the remainder surrendered to the United States troops, and thus ended the second invasion. SUBJIALINE NAVIGATION.—A submarine boat is spoken about as among the latest novelties in science, and a now invention of this kind was tested very successfully in New York last week. There is no particular descrip tion of it given, but it must bo something like a diving bell on improved principles. One of these is that the machine can bo moved about beneath the water by a propeller worked by hand, and can travel any distance required. Another is that tho parties who are in this machine do not require to be supplied Witli — air - from the surface, as is usually done with diving - tolls, by - the means of pumps. They carry in the boat chemical compounds which produce the gases necessary in respiration. Tho boat, when it sinks, therefore, goes free of all guidance and assistance, and moves wherever the navigators choose to take it. The boat is designed for pearl fishing in the Pacific Ocean, and has been an expensive affair, costing $75,000. It is 36 foot long. The parties who went down in her were submerged for an hour and a half, during which interval fears were entertained by many' for the safety of the four men who were in the machine. But when she came up, and the engineer emerged smoking his pipe, which he had lighted beneath the waters blue, the gratification of the beholders was as great as their astonishment.

TIMES.—The Jamaica Committee have resolved on a proceeding so injudicious that it has elicited a protest from Mr. C. Buxton, who retires from the chairmanship. The majority of these gentlemen, not content with the results of the Commission, are bent on bringing Mr. Eyre to justice for the " murder" of Mr. Gordon—if possible through the agency of Government ; if not, by means of a private prosecu tion. They allege that in no other way can the ille gality of the trial and sentence be effectually published for the warning of future Governors and military officers, while they tacitly rely on the Royal prerogative of mercy to rescue Mr. Eyre, in the last resort, from a punishment which, as they well know public sentiment would never suffer to be executed. Mr. Buxton differs from his colleagues upon the propriety of this course, and in a letter which appears in our impression of to-day adduces reasons of very unequal weight in support of his own view. It is a pity that Mr. Buxton should have weakened the force of his argument by an in temperate preamble, which he evidently meant to strengthen it. His object appears to be to show that while he cannot accept the practical conclusion of the Committee, he will be outdone by no other member of it in vehemence of denunciation. Thus he not only charges Mr. Eyre with " shameful mis conduct towards the people committed to his care," and participation " in the awful guilt of consigning an innocent man to the gallows," but imputes to the Commissioners " a manifest anxiety to exculpate the authorities." In spite of their recorded opinion that in the great majority of instances the capital sen tences pronounced by courts martial were justified by the evidence, he describes them as " simply acts of vengeance inflicted almost indiscriminately on the negro population, with scarcely a pretence of distinguishing the innocent from the guilty," and declares that " hundreds of innocent men were put to death in cold blood." We cannot but regret that Mr. Buxton, in his anxiety to propitiate the Jamaica Commission before offering them unpalatable but sound advice, should have so far indulged that tone of exaggeration which cannot fail to damage the best cause. He deserves credit, however, for exercising an independent judgment on the question of prosecuting Mr. Eyre, and the rejeetion of his counsels by the Jamaica Committee betrays the influence of what too nearly resembles a vindictive spirit. We may at once dis miss from view the proposal that Government should direct an indictment for murder to be preferred against Mr. Eyre. No Government would take the responsibility of such an act, except upon much stronger representationa of his moral and legal criminality than are contained in or can be founded on the Commissioners' Report. On the other hand,. we may waive, for the sake of argument, all doubts as to the effect of the Act of Indemnity, and any other preliminary objections which may be raised to the arraignment of Mr. Eyre in this country. Let us assume that, upon the Government declining to institute a prosecution, Mrs. Gordon is advised that no technical obstacle can bar her right to do so. Let us eliminate, in short, all other considerations but those of justice and policy, and endeavour to form an impartial judgment by the light of these principles alone. Now, the offence of which Mr. Eyre stands accused is virtually this—that, with out an overwhelming public necessity, he caused Gordon to be arrested beyond the limits of the proclaimed district, ordered him to be tried by martial law instead of reserving him for the juris diction of a civil tribunal, and confirmed a sentence upon him which the evidence did not warrant. No one can deny that had Gordon been seen per sonally urging on a mob to riot and massacre he might lawfully have been shot down, if neces sary, on the spot. No one can deny that if duly charged with instigating, • though indirectly, the outbreak at Morant Bay, and if duly arrested any where within the county of Surrey except King ston, he would properly have been sent to Morant Bay for trial. No one can deny that, if convicted on sufficient grounds, under these circumstances he might have been lawfully executed without refer ence to the Governor, and that, if satisfied of his guilt, the Governor was right in confirming the de cision of the court-martial. But Gordon was not captured in fragrante delicto or in a place subject to martial law. Even if it was unsafe to keep him in eustody at Kingston, he might have been detained on board the Wolverene ; and even if he was fairly tried at Morant Bay, and not cut off from the means of making his defence, the evidence against him was very far from conclusive, and his imme— diate execution ought not to have been approved by the Governor, at least without consultation with the Attorney-General. We may go further, and say without reserve, that if a malicious intent could be brought home to Governor Eyre ; if his belief that Gordon was at the bottom of a treasonable and murderous conspiracy had been simulated, instead of being shared by almost the whole white popula lation of Kingston ; if it could be shown that he eagerly availed himself of a worthless pretext to get rid of a troublesome opponent,—then he would de serve no indulgence at the hands of his accusers. This, however, is exactly what no one ventures to maintain or even to suggest. " It is clear," as the Commissioners state, " that the conduct of Gordon had been such as to convince both friends and ene mies of his being a party to the rising," although their own conclusion is " decisive as to the non existence of a wide-spread conspiracy," and there fore as to the non-complicity of Gordon. Mr. Eyre's error consisted in yielding to the universal panic, and acting as if the public safety could not be restored as long as Gordon lived. It was a most serious error in one invested with supreme authority, and has justly been visited by the deprivation of that authority ; but it was consistent with pure motives and with a high though mistaken sense of duty. In other words; it wanted' the essential elements of a moral crime, and assuredly cannot be brought within the legal definition of the worst crime known to the law. It is one thing to speak of Gordon's execution as a judicial murder; it is another to give that name to Mr. Eyre's part in it. The former expression denotes a conviction that Gordon was wrongfully put to death ; the latter implies that Mr. Eyre wilfully compassed his death with malice aforethought. Mr. Buxton wisely reminds the Ja maica Committee that no less definite issue than this would be raised on an indictment for murder in the improbable event of its not being ignored by the grand jury. Even were Mr. Eyre convicted Mr. Buxton anticipates that he would receive a free par don from the Crown, and that, in either case, his discharge would be hailed as a triumph by " his partisans," while " he would be regarded by public opinion as a martyr." Mr. Buxton further argues that, by making a scapegoat of Mr. Eyre, the Com mittee would virtually condone all the other atroci ties committed by naval, military, and civil autho rities. Ho thinks it would be far better to rest satisfied with the censure already passed on Mr. Eyre, and to bring Parliamentary pressure to bear for the purpose of getting these offenders punished, as well as of obtaining compensation for the suf ferers. There is some truth in these remarks, but it is not the whole truth, nor can we accept Mr. Buxton's treatment of the case as altogether dispas sionate. The point of view he selects is not high enough, and the objections he entertains to proceed ing against Mr. Eyre are not the strongest which may be urged. When he endeavours to dissuade the Committee from undoing the good effect of the lesson already administered to Colonial Governors by prosecuting Mr. Eyre, ho points only to the cer tainty of his being "acquitted or pardoned amid the plaudits of the British people." This is somewhat low ground, for it seems to follow, whatever Mr. Buxton may himself mean, that if a conviction were probable, or likely to be popular, no scruple need be felt. Now, weventuro to believe that a prosecution, whether successful or unsuccessful,popular or unpopu lar, would go far to defeat the main objects which phi lanthropists should have at heart. A great oppor tunity will have been lost if a sentiment of honest indignation at the grievous abuse of authority by a large number of persons, both civil and military, from the Governor downwards, under cover of martial law, should degenerate or be perverted into a clamour for vengeance on individuals. HERALD.—The fact that Lord Derby had not completed all the arrangements for the formation of the new Government within four-and-twenty hours of his first audience of her Majesty is hailed by the organs of the Russell-Gladstone Administration as conclusive evidence that the noble earl will not be able to form a Government at all. We do not wish to dispel a pleasing delusion, which, together with the grand demonstration of roughs before Mr. Gladstone's house, may comfort our contemporaries for the fall of their patrons ; but we may say very frankly that we are quite as well pleased as they can be that the Ministerial arrangements have not been settled in a rash and inconsiderate manner. The formation of a new Ministry is, as we have ob - served before, a work of considerable difficulty, and of the greatest importance ; and in proportion to the care taken in the composition of a Government will be its chances of an honourable, useful, and protracted, career. Entering, as the Conservatives do, upon office with a minority upon general ques tions, although with a majority upon the most weighty of all questions, it is of the utmost im portance that the different offices in the new Cabinet should be filled by men whose ability and character assure the energetic and successful dis charge of the functions devolving upon them, and consequently command general esteem and confi dence. We allow frankly that the new Government will need to present an array of greater ability than the late one. They have to enforce a support which was given to the mediocrities which mainly composed Lord Russell's Government out of mere force of habit. They will have to assure the support of tho6e Liberals who separated from their party on the Re form question, and so produced the present crisis. They will have to face a powerful opposition which has the command 9f the numerically greater portion of the press of the country ; they will have, in fact, to win the confidence of a number of people pre judiced against them. There are, for instance, four offices which it is of the utmost importance should be filled at the present moment by men not merely of credit with their party or of high ability, but en dowed with great energy and animated by a spirit of devotion to all work they undertake. We may name these offices now without incurring the risk of injuring the feelings of any aspirant for office, in asmuch as nothing yet being determined our obser vations cannot be interpreted into personal reflec tions which are not meant. At the present moment the Foreign Secretaryship is perhaps the most im portant position in the Government. England is fortunately at peace, and, for all the difficulties that must arise, will, we hope, continue, in the progress of the present war, so. But England is not only interested in keeping at peace herself ; she has a great concern in the restoration of peace to Europe. Again, the difficulties which have arisen between this country and the United States, and other awkward and unsettled questions in different parts of the world, which press for a solution, render it of the utmost consequence that the seals of the Foreign Office should be placed in the hands of a Minister not only able and industrious, but com manding by his reputation a general belief in the fitness and justice of the policy he may pursue. Then, at this juncture, Ireland needs rulers who combine energy and conciliation, men who, whilst taking care to maintain the law, to preserve order, and to repress with severity all seditious proceed ings, will yet give to all grievances, let them be real or imaginary, a careful and candid hearing ; men who will know how, whilst they inspire a general feeling of confidence in their determination to protect the peaceful and orderly inhabitants in the enjoyment of their liberty and their inde pendence, to be accessible to the complaints of all parties, and will make it their object, second only to the paramount one of upholding the law, to pro pose all those reforms on the existing legislation, which may promise to remove any actual injustice suffered by a section or class, and promote the gene ral welfare of the country by developing its resources and encouraging the industry -and enterprise of its people. The condition of our Indian empire, in the third place, renders the greatest care necessary in the selection of the new Indian Secretary. Sir Charles Wood had great talents and much know ledge, but Sir Charles had a habit of disregarding the opinions of persons most conversant with that particular subject that has accumulated a number of very awkward difficulties which in the feeble hands of Earl De Grey have made no advance to a solution. The public does not hear very much of India now. It is not the theatre of war or insurrec tions upon any large scale, and the famine and pes tilence which now desolate so large a portion of the country hardly excite •attention except from those who have some connection with it. But at no time perhaps since the change of Government took place does India more need an able and courageous Mini ster than she now does. Finally, there is a depart ment of the Ministry of recent establishment which is now assuming the utmost social, if not political, importance. The powers of the Poor-law Board are no doubt limited. The guardians of some parishes can set it at defiance upon nearly every point, and the guardians of all parishes upon some few but important points. But still the President of the Poor-law Board has great power for good, if he chooses to exert it, and if he will - only exert what power he has well Parliament is ready enough to give him what further power he may need. The re cent revelations as to the condition of the sick wards of our workhouses and as to the character and amount of out-door relief afford evidence that re forms of a very sweeping character are required. We are not inclined to question Mr. Villiers's ability, but it has been devoted to a very different subject. He has been eager about assessments, and left the sick to rot in the sick wards of workhouses until some energetic action was absolutely forced on him. He was, no doubt, as most of the public, ignorant of the horrors perpetrated at their very doors, and we have no idea of attacking him for an ignorance so excusable. But the veil of ignorance has now been torn away, and public opinion insists upon a thorough reform of our whole system for the relief of the poor. That question is now upon the order of the day, and, reform being removed, is likely to take the very front place on it. Under the circum stances it is imperative that the new President of the Poor-law Board should be a man not only gene rally acquainted with the poor-law machinery and animated by good intentions, but possessing the firm will to propose and carry out against the whole weight of interested opposition which would be brought to bear upon him the amendments of the law which humanity and justice alike demand. Lord Derby could very easily put his hand upon a good man for each of these posts, as well as for the other offices in the new Government. But he wants to put his hand upon the best man, and it is not so easy as people who know nothing of the matter sup pose to apportion the different offices of a Govern ment in such a way as to utilise to the utmost for the public service the talent and the energy at the disposal of the leader of a party. It is easy enough to put the round men into the square holes, and the square men into the round holes, but to fit the round men to the round and the square men to the square holes is a matter of much more labour. The labour, however, is rewarded in the composition of a Gcvernment which commands instead of appealing to public confidence, and our Liberal contempo raries have really some good reason for their com plaints of what they call Lord Derby's delay, in the fact that the time taken to form the Government adds months, if not years, to its tenure of office. THE " ANGLO-AMERI CAN TIMES."—The great anniversary of the Independence of the United States which Americans love to honour will have passed before our next issue appears, and will have passed without any public observ ance on the part of Americans in London. It is a mistake to suppose that the people of England look with disfavour on rejoicings which represent the triumph of Freedom over Despotism. Nor indeed was the war gained by a foreign foe. The results turned our colonies into an independent nation, and the Americans from that day became a foreign people; but America was more English in every essential point during the War of Indepen dence than she is now. Indeed we believe she was more English than the army who failed in subduing her, composed so largely as they were of German mercenaries and of Indian savages. There can, however, be no question of the fact that in the War of Independence our colonies fought for free dom, and our stupid KING, and his still more stupid Ministers, fought for despotism. The former were the champions of all we hold most dear ; th e l a tt er , the type of degradation and slavery. The success of the KING would have ruined freedom in England —the success of the colonies emancipated themselves and struck the last great blow required for the freedom of England. Those Englishmen who un derstand this anniversary aright are little disposed to cavil at the rejoicing of the American people, for in their minds its represents the triumph of right. It was in reality no triumph over the Old Country —it was the triumph of freedom over despotism, and we think it a great pity that both in this country and in the United States the fact should not be more generally recognised, and both nations taught to triumph together over so great a deliver ance. We cannot hope, however, for such a consum mation, so long as the American Press alludes to England as the hereditary enemy of their country ; as if the acts of a senseless clique were for all time to be made a charge against the heart of this great nation. There can be nothing offensive to the English people in the celebration of an event by which they only profited in a lesser degree than the American people themselves. It is vain for us to speculate on what might have been the case had our rulers been sane men, and the colonies governed with moderation and justice. Whether we might have grown together into an overwhelming power, or split up still more diF_- astrously, it is bootless to conjecture; but the historic facts stand on record that the blow was struck against a cruel and a foolish despotism, and that blow can only have the hearty sympathy of all 'right-thinking men. From the military correspondent of the Times we glean the following remarks :—" Gorlitz„ June 21.—The Prussians have not been careless witnesses of the great struggle in America. The organisation of their army shows that its administrators have eagerly noted all the results of modern science and advanced civilisation which the contest between the If odemls and Confederates called into the service of war. Orders and reports are no longer conveyed tardily by aides-de-camp or orderlies ; they are flashed from corps to corps along the wires of the tele graph, for to each head-quarters a field telegraph division is attached, which as soon as head-quarters are established connects the temporary bureau of the chief of the staff with the nearest permanent telegraph station." The oldest house in the United States now stand ing as originally built is the Rev. Dr. Whitfield's, at Guil ford, Connecticut. It was built in 1639, and the stone walls and oak work remain in good condition. On the surrender of Lee the American Govern ment came into possession of 30,000 muskets of British manufacture. These wore sold to a speculator, and h ave recently been purchased by the Canadian authorities at double their original cost. The United States Treasury Department has been informed by an official at Frankfort-on-the-Maine that the number of American five-twenty bonds which the disturbances on the Continent will return on its h an d s w ill amount to $75,000,000 worth.

F4NBBURY PARR. The report from the Streets Committee, submitting a plan of Finsbury Park, showing the proposed arrangement of building sites on the 20 acres of land which the board are empowered to dispose of for building purposes, and recommending the Board to approve the same, was further considered. To this recommendation Mr. Savage had moved the following amendment : " That inasmuch as the Board have limited their pur chase of the land for the purpose of Finsbury-park to 120 acres, instead of taking the 250 acres authorised by the 20th and 21st Vic., cap.lso, no portion of the land so taken be let or sold, but that the whole be devoted for the health and recreation of the public." Mr. SHAW, in resuming the debate, said he should be very glad if the people of Finsbury should have a park of 500 acres, or ono as large as Hyde-park, if the rest of the inhabitants of tbo metropolis were not to be called upon to pay for it. He hoped the Board would retain full 20 acres of land for building purposes, so that they could to that extent repay themselves, and therefore ho strongly supported the recommendation of the committee. Mr. TURNER said, while ho was at all times willing to sup port the recommendations of the committee when he could do so, and also to consider the interests of the ratepayers, he was quite at a loss to understand how buildings could be set up on two strips of land on each side of this park without those buildings being a great detriment to the rest of it. Were the recommendation of the committee to be adopted, the approach to this park would be like the neck of a bottle or the nozzle of a pair of bellows. If the part next to the Seven Sisters-road were to be built upon they would lose the advantage of an approach at both ends, and it would be a serious detriment to the park to have a belt of houses between it and the Seven Sisters-road. With the view of giving the fullest effect to the intentions of the Legislature, he should support the amendment - of Mr. Savage. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said that this is a question that was not now before the board for the first time, and it was also one that could not be dealt with offhand. He should take the course he had hitherto consistently pursued, and con tended that the ratepayers of the metropolis should not be taxed for the formation of parks in the locality of London at all, and until the board took upon themselves this duty the Government selected the sites for parks, and they pro vided Hyde-park and the Green-park without any expense whatever to the people of London. Very recently they had formed a park which was a great boon to the inhabitants of the east end of London, entirely at the cost of the Legisla ture, but by the course the board had taken they had per mitted the Consolidated Feud to be relieved of this ex pense, and they had thrown it upon the ratepayers. The CHAIRMAN said that Parliament had given power to the Board to make parks; therefore it was not a voluntary act on their part, but was a duty passed upon them by the Legislature. grasp at everything, and it bad enta i led upon them an Mr. TAYLOR continued, and said th e B oard were willing to enormous cost. Parliament had allowed them to purchase sites of land, but the localities where these parks were to be formed were not to pay for them, and the cost of theta was to be. thrown npon the ratepayers of the whole metro polis. There was not only the cost of the purchase, but there would be the expense of the maintenance, which would involve the employment of upwards of 50 gardeners, park-keepers, and -other officers. The meddling of the Board in such matters had involved them in au expendi- Volunteers, The American War has shown the value of Volunteer troops. In 1860, except a small and by no means well-trained regular army, the whole force of the Union consisted of a militia, which might not unfitly be compared to our Volunteer organisa tion, except that they were not so well drilled, armed, and clothed. From this material sprang those disciplined armies which penetrated the Southern States at all points, and fought those fierce and bloody battles which will make the Civil War of the Union rank among the greatest fought by mankind. The army with which Grant captured Richmond, or that with which Sherman marched through the Southern States, were among the most efficient instruments by which a conqueror ever de solated and subdued a nation. No doubt it re quired years of desperate service in the field to bring these troops to that high state of perfection to which they attained. Yet the desperate defence of the Southern States by their Volunteer bands, and the still more determined and persistent attacks by the Volunteer bands organised by the North, equally prove how soon a brave, clever, and ener getic people, with little or no previous training, may be formed into efficient armies. On Saturday last we had a great gathering in Hyde Park of the citizens of London and its neigh bourhood in arms. Some 15,000 men were there paraded in Brigades of all arms, and inspected by H. R. H. the Co►nmander-in-Chief. To the un initiated eye no signs could be detected to distin guish this little army from a regular field force. The thin line was not red—but green of all shades, grey, and dun. The battalions in continuous columns confronting H. R. H. at the saluting point were really for immediate action almost equal to the regular army. But the first operations of a Volun teer force are generally disastrous, for there is some thing more than arms, clothes, and drill required for active service in the field. It will be remembered, after the disastrous action at Bull Run a large portion of the Northern Volunteer army broke up and returned home. Many came then really to appreciate what active service in the field meant, and did not like it--and so it would be with us. Hundreds among the young fellows who marched past so jauntily on Saturday last would assume a very different air after lying for a night in a wet ditch, and the shop and the desk would be remem bered with regret when Brown's brains were dashed into the face of Smith. Campaigns such as are now progressing in Italy and Germany make pleasant reading; but very unpleasant pastime ; and the strong" leaning of the war-worn Volunteer is —towards home. A Volunteer army, without a powerful check, would melt away like snow in a summer's sun before the real dangers and privations of a campaign. That check is simply this. When a Volunteer force takes the field the Mutiny Act should at once be extended to them, and thenceforth they become soldiers in fact, as well as in name. The gay Volunteer should understand this—that a terrible reality lies concealed under the pageantry of such shows as that of Saturday. To march past in grand division, with a Royal Duke at the saluting point, and all the rank, beauty, and fashion of England for spectators, may form a pleasing excitement, in spite of the heat of the weather, the weary waiting, and the bore of carrying a rifle in a dense throng 3 but the Volunteers should look beyond this. It matters little whether the green of his uniform is of a light shade or dark—but what does matter is, whether he is prepared, if the emergency arises, to march through heat, cold, and dirt, to lie uncovered on the ground, through disappointments, disasters, in sickness and wounds, with hard labour, in hunger and thirst, to fight it out to the end. If the Volun teers as a body are prepared for this, and will cheerfully submit to a trial which strains the en durance of all men to the uttermost, then England is possessed of a force far more valuable than her regular army—but if not, there is little value in our Volunteer Review.—Anglo-American Times.

There was very little doing in wheat ; how ever, in the few sales made, the rates of last , week were obtained. Flour, with a slow sale, barely maintained its value. Oats and oatmeal were neglected, and if anything the turn lower. In barley, beans, and peas we have no change to note..
