HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE. furs DAY. —Morning, h. m.—Afternoon, 12h. 6m To-Mogßow.-Morning, 12h. 35m.—Afternoon, lh. 8m soh ttt '4 , -0 611 4'0 11 '16 - NV It LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 29, 1867. To-day the House of Lords will resume the un enviable task of considering the numerous amend ments and alterations that are to be proposed in the Representation of the People Bill. It is vexa tious, to say the least of it, that so many hindrances should be put in the way of this important measure, but the most sanguine could hardly have anticipated that all would go smoothly in the matter. So many changes are involved, so many interests are con concerned in the prospective scheme that it is only natural the work cannot be done without great care and caution. There would, however, be more satisfaction for those who have the onerous task of passing this bill if they could feel that the attempt to alter this portion, and to suppress that proposal, came from men who wished the main features of the bill to remain intact and unaffected by chance or change. How can we look upon Lord HALIFAX'S resolution otherwise than as a subtle scheme to stop the way, altogether an ingenious device maybe, but still a desire to entrap their lordships into settling the matter by having it unsettled another session. The noble lord will, we feel convinced, not succeed in carrying out his intention, but the best way to prevent his doing so will b e t , v be alive to the consequences of his doing so. There is always mischief-making in these uncertain and mystifying schemes, and we may rest assured that in nine cases out of ten the true meaning is not allowed to come out, because the originator of the plan does not care to have it known until it has become too late for people to draw back. At this time of the session it would be little short of madness for the House to agree to an abstract resolution of this kind, and 1 the best thing that can be done will be to follow the course pursued with Lord GREY'S proposal other night, and reject or negative it at once. Lord. HALIFAX'S resolution will take precedence of all. amendments, as he moves it upon going into com— mittee, and hence it is justifiable to regard it as a regular stumbling-block upon the threshold, a stoppage in an important work, and an insidious attempt to mar the effect of all that has been done already. If Lord GREY has an amendment to pro• pose, to the effect that the limit of the borough population shall be extended from 10,000 to 12,000 in these boroughs which lose one of their two mem bers, this might have been a desirable arrangement had it been carried out at the outset, but the various delays that occurred, and the complications that arose, prevented the House of Commons from dwelling for a very long time upon certain details. As it however, it seems unadvisable that the vexed question should be re-opened, and it may be borne in mind that, besides the loss of time in the present instance, the House of Commons will have to come back to it again in considering the Lords' amendments. Lord CAIRNS will move, upon the Lodger Clause being introduced, that the qualification should be fifteen pounds instead of ten ; Lord RAVENSWORTH at the same time pro posing that it should be twenty pounds. It seems a pity that this part of the measure should be in terfered with at all, but no doubt Lord CAIRNS has well considered his course, and deems it advisable to meet objections half way. It will be a great advantage if the fifteen pound proposition be carried, even though regrets may linger at the clause not being accepted as it came from the House of Commons. Lord CAIRNS has also under taken to move, after Clause 8, that at a" contested election for any county or borough represented by three members, no person shall vote for more than two candidates ; at a contested election for the city of London no person shall vote for more than three candidates." This brings back the old question of representing minorities, which has been so much talked of. It is difficult to say what reception this proposal will meet with from the House of Lords, for the subject has not come under notice there of late years ; but there can be no objection to the question engaging attention, and as it has been made the theme of controversy for a lengthened period by experimental Reformers, the Committee may as well have an opportunity afforded to them of testing its merits. It will be seen by a glance at the list of amend ments and clauses that Lord GREY is to be very busy indeed. We hope that he will not prove of the meddle and muddle class, but it is suspicious at any rate that he should seek to alter so very much. As we said just now there is little or no time left for the consideration of all these schemes, even if they were desirable ones, and to carry even half of the noble lord's plan into execution would pro bably take too long. What with his grouping of boroughs and taking one member from every borough below twelve thousand he would have many more seats for redistribution, and the con fusion of settling who should be fortunate enough to obtain. these may be imagined. Surely Mr. GLADSTONE and his frieuds and followers, with others who acted independently of them, have done enough to interfere with the character of the bill without such factious attempts being made in the other - - dependent of all this. It can pay sufficient deference to the proposals of the noble lord, and determine for itself the fit and proper course to pursue. That course is plain to all who rightly estimate the exi gencies of the case. It should be no party con sideration that influences those now about to meet to settle this great question, and no claims of a secondary nature cau be allowed to interfere with the one thing needful, the passing of the Re form Bill during this Session. Let the House then be prepared to undertake the work to-night with this great end in view, and so deal with factious pro posals and suspicious resolutions that nothing shall hinder the realisation and completion of the great object of securing the measure, and then there will be nothing to fear. We are very glad to find from the Duke of BUCKINGHAM'S reply to Lord LICHFIELD on Friday night that the Government have not forgotten their promise to consider the question of the agricultural gangs. Public opinion was deeply shocked at the revelations made a few weeks since by gentlemen conversant with the management of labour in the agricultural districts, and the residents in country parts were already aware that there was much that was painful and shocking in the gang system. The Government promised to consider the whole subject, and the Duke of BUCKINGHAM said that it was their intention to introduce a bill requiring the masters of the gang to be licensed, and prohibiting the employ ment of mixed gangs. This will remove the worst features of the system, because the license will give some sort of guarantee for the conduct of the mas ter, and will be a means of checking or controlling his authority. At present the children he employs are at his mercy, and many instances of cruelty and excessive overwork are reported. Children of very tender years have to work for long hours, exposed to many variations of weather ; and the labour in the fields, especially after a wet season, is very heavy and exhausting. Then they have some times to walk a mile or two home, and to come again the same distance in the morning. The masters naturally vary a good deal in their treat ment of the children. Some are mild and equitable, others are harsh and cruel ; but whichever they are the children must endure their fate. Then the pro hibition of the mixed gangs is an important point. The moral evil of the reckless association of boys and girls, of men and women, is worse than the physical ill-usage of the children. The effect upon the girls is unanimously described as most disas trous. The mothers themselves confess that their girls are never fit for domestic life afterwards. They miss ali the best part of a working woman's educa tion, and when they grow up and have families of their own the miserable condition of their cottages testifies abundantly to the consequences of mis spent girlhood. We should be glad to see such work for girls done away with altogether, but i❑ waiting for that it will be at least an important step gained to have the gangs kept sepa rate, more especially if we can have some security that the master is a man of decent conduct and ordinary humanity. We hope the session will not be allowed to pass over without the Government redeeming the pledge which they have given. 'The variations of the English climate are so incessant that they succeed in astonishing the most experienced meteorologists. Last winter a mild, damp Christmas threw us off our guard, and rendered us more susceptible to the sudden attacks a Jack THE SUN, LOiNDON, MONDAY EVEMAG, JULY 29 1867. Frost% v .ho, after he had reduced us to a state of utter - wretchedness by freezing our gas, overloading our roofs, and making water an almost priceless treasure, marched off as suddenly as he had co' ale, breaking half the water-pipes in the ordtropolis as a final leave-taking. Scarcely - "nad we done rejoicing at his departure, than lo ! he was once more among us, and evidently ,determined that we should not make too sure again, for he kept looking in at our doors and windows at brief and irregular intervals. When at last we were fairly rid of him, we had a fortnight of early summer before we had expected the signs and tokens of spring. But the balmy interval was suc ceeded by bleak winds and many other discomforts. Then when summer suns were due came rain, and nothing but rain, as our Oriental and Con- tinental visitors have too much reason to remember. But St. Swithin's crowning triumph was on Friday last, when the rainfall of Lon don in ;twenty-four hours amounted to 2.21 inches—a quantity unequalled in the same space of time during the last ten years. From ten o'clock on Thursday night till ten o'clock on Friday the rain came down at intervals, assuming the aspect of a mitigated deluge. As might have been expected, such a storm could not fail to produce some notice able effects. In the low-lying parts of London the water has made its way into the cellars and the basements. The southern embankment has been flooded, and one, at least, of our railway lines has escaped a serious accident. In Essex there has been a flood for miles. In Chatham great part of the town has been submerged. Even in Scotland the deluge has been busy, and in Edinburgh the fall of rain in four days was five inches. This is certainly very exceptional weather for the time of year, and there is reason to apprehend its effect upon the crops, unless it is succeeded by a few weeks of fine weather. The hops, indeed, verifying the old adage about St. James's Day, are the better for the rain, and the root crops we may conclude will show a good season. Still the all-important cereals want sun, and have had very little sun lately. Farmers are proverbial grumblers, but a good many besides farmers are beginning to look anxiously at the clouds and speculate about the harvest. Let us hope that we have had nearly our share of rain for the present, and that the " golden sunlight" which we are accustomed to look for in the month of July may this year shine upon our fields and meadows in the coming August. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Sunday Evening. The affairs of Italy assume prominent importance. The Siecle has an important article on the subject. That journal says :—" The French and foreign newspapers are now particularly occupied with the fermentation which has suddenly been created in Italy, and which has spread with electric speed from one end of the Peninsular to the other. They comment upon a letter of Garibaldi published in the Riforma, an Italian journal, and which they abstained from publishing because it forms a furious Cataimian diatribe against the parties to the Con vention of the 15th of September. This manifesto has increased the agitation. Committees are formed, which place themselves in communication with each other, and connect themselves with the National Roman Junta. That body, the forces of insurrection and of the National Roman Committee, declares that the moral means alluded to byM.Rattazai in the Chamber a few days ago are insufficient. In their proclamation of the 17th inst. they call the Romans to arms. " The Italian Government," they say, "is united to them by a solemn treaty. Both accept the accomplished fact. They cannot pro voke it. To us, Romans, and to ns alone, is re served the honour of solving the Roman question, and at the same time respecting the spiritual power of the Poxes. To overthrow the tempolr L we tua por, _ Ic of alt human progress, to insure to Rome, by unit ing it to Italy already constituted, the post which has been assigned to her by the Italian Parliament, and by Italy herself, to create an era of order, peace, and greatness, such is our double and glorious mission." " Are we to conclude from this raising of shields that we are on the eve of combat? That the Roman population will soon commence the struggle against those whom the National Junta call the mer cenaries of the Pope King, and that the Italian Government, bound by solemn engagements, finds itself under the cruel necessity of renewing Aspro monte ? That would be premature. Complete tranquillity reigns in the Roman States, even in the province of Viterbo, which is the most hostile to the Pontifical Government. No body of Volunteers have appeared upon the frontiers, which are watched by the 50th Italian Regiment of the Line, sent from Perouse for the purpose. The moment is not yet come when the temporal power of the Pope will crumble to the dust like a ruined edifice, should it not disappear in the midst of au irresistible popular tempest." A despatch from Munich announces that King Otho, of Greece, uncle to the King of Bavaria, now in Paris, has just died at Bamberg at the age of 52. There was a Cabinet Council yesterday afternoon at the Tuileries, at which the Emperor presided. The illoniteur says :—." A great many German journals state that a note has been sent to the Cabinet of Berlin by the Chargd d'Affaires of France, upon the subject of Schleswig-Holstein. Those affirmations of a fact materially false have unfor tunately the effect, if not for object, to induce the public to form the most erroneous notions respect ing the existing relations between the two Govern ments. No note has been sent from France to Berlin, either regarding the affairs of Schleswig or any other question." The Grand Duke Constantine of Russia has arrived in Paris. It appears by a letter from Rome that a solemn service for the repose of the soul of the regretted Archduke Maximilian of Austria, late Emperor of Mexico, was celebrated in the church of the Aus trian Embassy in that city on Tuesday last. The journal L'ltalie states that the committee charged with the examination of the law relative to the railways has terminated their labours. The committee confined themselves to the decision that it is to be left to the Government to continue at the expense of the State the railways for such companies as may not be able to complete their undertakings themselves without assistance. According to the Gazette of Northern Germany, Austria and Prussia have come to a complete agree ment respecting Northern Schleswig, and that Denmark only can have the idea of making an appeal to Europe. The Austrian Government admits that it is impossible for Prussia to deliver up the position of Duppel to Denmark, and approves of the propo sitions recently sent by M. de Bismark to M. de Quade respecting the cession of Hadersloben on con dition that the Danish Government is to give guarantees for the safety of the national and in dividual rights of the Germans inhabiting the ceded territory. The following were the gross receipts of the theatres and other places of amusements subject to an impost for the poor during the month of June : —lmperial theatres subventioned, 706,591 f. alc. ; second rate theatres, vaudevilles, and minor spec tacles, 1,196,217 f. 10c. ; concerts, cafe concerts, and balls, 418,715 f. 50c. ; various exhibitions, 99,452 f. 95c.—total, 2,420,976 f. 62c. The report is received in Paris that Queen Victoria intends to visit the capital shortly in private, having been prevailed upon to do so by the Empress during her Majesty's visit to the Queen. The King of Portugal is very fond of music, and has paid several visits to Rossini, during which time he played several airs on the piano with great taste and musical skill. The Chinese junks log expected in Paris have now arrived ; but they will not be exhibited for a few days. They will, however, shortly be in the Seine, opposite to the Exhibition, among the curious pleasure boats to be now seen there. Although there is no probability of any imme diate practical result for the recent discussions with the view to establish uniformity in weights and measures, there are still communications between England and France respecting post-office improve ments. There are some curious anomalies. For instance, The Sun may be sent from London to Paris for a penny, but, to send back the same paper from Paris to London, the charge made by the Post office is sixteen centimes—that is to say, three sons, and the fifth part of a sou. For this purpose the Post - offige gives no less than four stamps. Three are required to make up the value of siixteen centimes for the postage. The other stamp, of four centimes, the sender may keep for another opportunity. For the sixteen centimes you must give four sous, or twenty centimes, and they give you in change a stamp of four centimes, or four-fifths of a sou. Such things as centimes really exist, but are seldom seen, although accounts are reckoned by them, so that practically a centime is a kind of myth or Mrs. Harris. The weather is still of a stormy and unsettled character, but warm and agreeable. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) ITALY. FLORENCE, July 29.

The Moniteur of this morning publishes the fol lowing article on the present foreign relations of France : " Several French and foreign journals publish statements calculated to trouble and disquiet the affairs of commerce and industry. It is said that our international relations tend to authorise the presentiment of a conflict more or less removed— the formation of two camps and military prepara tions is announced. These reports are unfounded, and they owe their origin and diffusion only to hostile passions, interested speculations, or lamentable credulity. The truth is this, that the Government of the Empire has no diplomatic ques tion of a nature calculated to modify its peacfeul and friendly relations with various Powers. The Cabi net of Florence has already taken energetic mea sures to protect the Papal frontier. The September conventidu Is7lll ,n,.. De iormcd either in the interior or on the frontier." The classes of 1860, 1861 have all been sent back to their homes since the first of Juno. The contingent of 1866 will be incorporated at the end of August, but it is the intention of the Govern ment of that time to allow the contingent of 1862 to return to their homes. The effective strength of the cavalry is considerably increased on account of the purchases made last April, but the Minister of War has determined that these, some 8,000 or 10,000, shall be disposed of for agricultural pur poses, and this measure is now in course of execu tion. The Government is confident that these pre cise statements will dissipate the feelings of un certainty which has pervaded public opinion.

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT TO A RAILWAY GUARD.--- A young man, aged 25, named Joseph Miller, a guard on the Bristol and Exeter Railway, Wits kill e d on Monday last in a most extraordinary eciann er . H e was in charge of the train from Taunton to W a t c h et j unct i on . At Taun ton a gentleman and his wife go t i n t o th e compartment next to the guard's van alone. When the train was pro ceeding they were startled by a sudden crash of the glass, and horrified to see that the bleeding head of a man had been forced through the thick plate glass, and that the body was hanging through the aperture of the frac tured pane. A MAN SHOT BY A V OLUNTEER AT HARTLE POOL.—On Tuesday n i ght, a b out 8 o'clock, two members of the 19th D ur h am (Hartlepoo l) Rifl e Volunteers were practising rifle shooti ng over a spac e of ground front ing the Ileugh Batte r y, on Hartlepoo l c liff. They bad erected a square piece of inch planking, to serve as a target, which was placed at a distance of about 100 yards. Before they commenced firing they looked along the sands and coast to ascertain if there were any boats, or persons, within range of their fire, and seeing that the coast was clear, they began their practice. In the meantime the fish ing boat, manned by Archibald Hunter, an old man, and John Pounder, passed unseen close to the cliffs, and when at a distance of about 400 yards from the battery was brought to in o r d er th at the fishermen m i g ht cast their lines. They had no sooner arrived at the spot before two or three rifle balls struck the water near to the boat. The fishermen called out as loud as they could for the riflemen to desist firing, but their cries had apparently not been heard, for some more shots were fired, and one of the balls that had evidently passed through the target, struck Hunter at the side of the mouth and passed through a por tion of his cheek. Three or four more shots were fired and fell within sight of the boat, and Pounder at last called out and another boat pulled towards them. Some of the crew got into the bo a t an d assisted Poun d er in pulling the boat ashore, as Hunter was becoming insensible from the loss of blood. By the united cries of the fishermen the riflemen were made aware that an accident had happened, and they cased firing. On Hunter being conveyed ashore his wound was dres se d b y a surgeon. Th e p pot man is in a very weak stag from Iwo of blood. VOLUNTEER REVIEW Al DERBY. Volunteers, both at Wimbledon and elsewhere, have recently had so much cause to complain of the weather, that notwithstanding a cold wind and a cloudy sky, the six regiments that assembled for review at Derby on Saturday may be considered fortunate. At the least the afternoon was dry, and the east wind was felt much more keenly by the spectators on the stand than by those who were marching and skirmishing in the field. People who live in London, and to whom therefore the grey and green uniforms of the metropolitan corps are much more familiar than the scarlet of the regular army, may not be aware that in the provinces the volun teer movement possesses quite as much vitality as in the neighbourhood of the City, and that the northern and midland counties have produced regiments equal to any in smartness and efficiency. Such, however, is the impression which any stranger who saw the review of Saturday would take away with him. The appearance of the men who represented Nottingham, Derby, Warwick, and Leicester, was such as might perfectly satisfy one accustomed to witness the more frequent reviews of the southern volunteers. There were not so many regiments pre sent as had been expected, but the muster of each corps on the ground was exceedingly large, and with few exceptions the manoeuvres through which the force was put were quickly and neatly executed. Derby had never seen so great a gathering of volunteers as was announced for Saturday, and con sequently the town had never been so full of sight seers. The other day 25 Belgians made an excursion to the north, and their appearance in Derby was the cause of the exhibition of numerous flags, some of which showed the colours of the visitors. The town looked all the gayer for this display of various colours, which had been allowed to remain until the event of Saturday was past. It was evident enough that people wore about to take a holiday. At ten o'clock there was a considerable crowd about the railway station where were arriving the special trains from Nottingham and Leicester. In the Market-place, where the red-coated volunteers of Derby assembled and their band was playing, there was a still larger concourse ; and before long there began to appear the rustics of the neighbouring districts, who seemed almost too grave and silent to be sightseers, yet watched everything with quiet curiosity. Two or three hour.; passed by and the volunteers from Bir mingham, with the Ist Warwickshire and the Robin Hood Rifles, were drawn up at the station under their respective commanders. Until two o'clock the crowd continued to increase, and the bands played in turns. Now and then an excursion train brought up a few hundred visitors from a neighbouring town. But there was no general movement until two o'clock, when the Birmingham men marched off to the review ground, followed by the other corps, and accompanied by several thousand spec tators. The ground chosen for the occasion was the race-course of Derby, which is about a mile from the market-place, on the further side of the river. It consists of several largo fiat meadows separated by fences. Near the road is a capital standhouse, larger and more commodious than many that are to be found on better racecourses. Oppo - site this, at a distance of about a hundred yards, a large space of level green is enclosed for the pur poses of cricket. The surrounding scenery, if not exactly picturesque, is at least pleasant. Looking from the top of the Stand the higher buildings of the town stand out against a background of distant woodland. The slopes which encompass the race course are thickly wooded, and to the right the eye passes over a succession of grassy uplands, which become loftier as the view recedes. Not until the review had nearly terminated on Saturday evening was there a gleam of sunshine ; but though the sky was cloudy and the whole distance was obscured by a thick grey haze, the prospect immediately in front of the Stand was sufficiently animated tosus . ain the curi osityof a multitude of which far the greater number had never before seen so many men underarms. The com mittee having charge of the arrangements re solved, whether wisely or unwisely it is not nece3- sary to say, to charge the sum of twopence to each person passing the gates ; but for one who paid a hundred leaped the low wall and took whatever places they chose. The ground was nominally kept by the Derbyshire Yeomanry Cavalry ; but as there could not have been fewer than twenty thousand spectators, and the re was oniy one norseman for every thousand, the adequate discharge of the duty was quite impossible. Most of the spectators seemed to think that the best view could be had from in side the cricket field, and occasionally a great rush was made to this place of vantage. Whenever this occurred the yeomanry spurred vigorously to the place, dashed amongst the people, and singling out two or three small boys, drove them back again. But, on the whole, the arrangements cannot be described as satisfactory. A charge of half-a-crown was made for the Stand, which at one time of the day was uncomfortably crowded. Two or three hundred carriages, principally occupied by ladies, extended in a long line beside the railing of the course. Shortly after two o'clock the first regi ment made its appearance. This was the Ist Derby shire Volunteers, under Lieut.-Colonel Wilmot. It was followed by the 3d Derbyshire, commanded by Lieut.-Colonel Cavendish. Each of these regiments was more than 700 strong. Major Ratcliffe com manded about 600 men of the Birmingham regi inent. The Robin Hood Rifles were 720 strong, under Lieut.-Colonel J. C. Wright, there were 500 men of the Ist . Warwickshi re R eg i ment, under Lieut.-Colonel Sir J. W. C. Hartopp, and nearly 700 of the Leicestershire under Major Brewen. The whole force numbered about 4,000 men, divided into brigades, the first consisting of the two Derby and the Birmingham regiments, under the com mand of Lieut.-Colonel Deshon, and the second, consisting of Warwickshire, Leicestershire, and the Robin Hood Rifles, under Colonel Wombwell. The reviewing officer was Colonel Erskine, Inspector- General of Volunteers. By three o'clock all the regiments had arrived, with the exception of the Leicestershire, and were drawn up in continuous columns near the road. The scarlet unform of the two Derby corps on the right contrasted pleasantly with the dark Lincoln green worn by the Nottingham corps, which preserves the fame of the chief archer and outlaw of Sherwood Forest. Between the men of Derby and Nottingham stood those of Warwickshire, in light grey with white, and those of Birmingham, in dark blue with red facings. Colonel Erskine, hav ing been received with a salute, rode slowly through the ranks and carefully inspected the arms and ac coutrements. At half-past three, as the spectators were beginning to get cold and impatient the bands took up their place opposite the Stand, and the re giments marched past in open column, the Ist Derbyshire leading, and the 3d being second. In both there were several companies that kept excel lent time, and marched with creditable precision and evenness ; but there were two or three companies rather irregular. Birmingham came next, and after it followed the Ist Warwick, but the loudest cheers of the crowd were reserved for the Robin Hood Rifles, whose marching was in every respect admir able, and whose handsome uniform seemed to find great favour. Making the circuit of the ground the men returned to the place on which they had first been drawn up. Just at this moment the Leicestershire regiment arrived, and took its proper place. Then the leading battalion wheeled, and the whole went past in double time, the Ist Derby shire, the Robin Hoods, and the Leicestershire moving with a regularity which more than deserved the applause it received. The force marched over the race-course to some flat meadows about half a mile distant from the Stand. Here they took up their position, the first brigade in front, and the second behind a large brick building described as the Colour-Works. The object seemed to be to drive back an enemy supposed to be approaching from the road. The Ist D rbyshire commenced the attack by throwing out skirmishers, who advanced quickly over the field, followed by their supports. The spectators had, in spite of the yeomanry, got so close to the troops that the movements of the skir mishers were greatly impeded. As they came on the ' people kept retreating at an equal pace, as if they were the enemy against whom the volunteers were contend ing. Just as the line of red coats came opposite the Stand a great rush was made to the Cricket-ground, and notwithstanding the valour of the yeomanry, who leaped the fences and did their best to compel the crowd to observe something like order, their efforts were unsuccessful until the eager sightseers were beaten back by the skirmishers themselves. Having nearly reached the road, the line retreated through the companies supporting it, which then formed into skirmishing order and took up the at tack. They in turn having been beaten back re treated some distance and formed squares of com panies. The other regiments then formed into squares and commenced firing to resist charges of cavalry. This movement having been effectual in checking the enemy, the first brigade formed line and advanced, followed at a short distance by the second. The first line having been forced to retreat, the second advanced and repulsed the attack. The Robin Hood regiment pursued with skirmishers as far as the road. This was a very pretty sight, and the quickness with which the men advanced and fired would have been creditable in a battalion of the Rifle Brigade. Defeated in one mode of attack, the enemy was supposed to try the effects of a flank movement, but his object was discovered in time, and his advance was opposed by the Birmingham regiment, which sent out skirmishers towards a place named chadesden, some distance behind the Stand. The whole force then changed front to the left, and formed line near the railway. At this moment the clouds suddenly broke, and the sun shone out bril liantly, showing with remarkable clearness the long array of volunteers, whose line stretched away to the foot of the slopes that formed the back ground of . the view. The regiments fired several volleys, beginning at the right of the line, and the volleys of the Robin Hood Rifles and the Leicestershire corps were given with the sharpness and distinctness of the report of a single gun. Sub sequently the line retired a short distance, file-firing, then advanced, and the review was over. The wind drove the clouds of smoke in the direction of the Stand house, and now and then the troops were almost hid from view, but as the breeze freshened, the scarlet uniform of the Derby volunteers could be seen through the smoke. After the sham fight, each regiment was surrounded by a crowd of partisans and admirers. The Ist Derby, whose inspection had originally been fixed for the day, marched up to the Stand, and the officers having come to the front, were addressed by Colonel Erskine, who ex pressed himself generally in terms of commendation, but urged the necessity of strict attention to drill. The other regiments obtained their meed of praise from the colonels commanding the brigade. At 7 o'clock the volunteers marched off the ground, but the town was not easily restored to its normal state of quiet ; hotels and taverns were crowded until a late hour. There was much good-humoured ex citement, and though excellent arrangements had been made by the Midland Railway Company for the return of volunteers and excursionists to the places from which they came, Derby still contained at midnight a considerable number of strangers. IRELAND, DUBLIN, July 27. James Reilly, a respectable-looking young man, has been tried for treason-felony at Tralee, before Mr. Justice Keogh. The Solicitor-General, Mr. Sergeant Barry, M.P., and three other counsel con ducted the prosecution for the Crown. Mr. G. Fitzgibbon defended the prisoner. Corydon, the informer, was among the witnesses examined. The jury brought in a verdict of guilty. The sentence was postponed. The Rev. P. Malone, of Belmullet, has pub lished a letter describing the slip of a large quantity of mountain bog into the Atlantic in that neigh bourhood. The mountain was broken up by the accumulated water under the peat, which had been dried by the drought that preceded the recent heavy rain. 40 acres, including ten acres of crops, were destroyed, and the laud rendered valueless for ever. Three or four families have been rendered homeless and destitute by the catastrophe—the avalanche of bog having nearly swept them away in its down ward course to the Atlantic. Cardinal Cullen arrived at Kingstown this morn ing from Rome, and proceeded to his residence iu Eccles-street, Dublin. A most destructive fire broke out last night, about; eleven o'clock, in the shipbuilding-yard of wt.yuie DT-1.4 pniou we have not witnessed so fierce or so extensive a firo. It was first discovered by Mr. Donovan, engineer, who was employed with a number of men making some repairs on board the Anna Liffey steamer, and he at once communicated with Mr. Lewis, super intendent of the works, who mustered as many men as he could to extinguish the flames, and, at the same time, sent information to the fire brigade. From the inflammable nature of the building all the efforts of the men in the yard were ineffectual to stay the progress of the fire, which at first was con fined to the boiler-shed, but very soon extended to the adjacent engine-room and joiner and moulding shops, in which the fittings for vessels in course of building were being prepared. In a short time Cap tain Ingram, with the men of his command, and the steam and fire-engines arrived, and also in succes sion the Corporation engines at the National suction pipes from the steam-engines were at onco laid on to Halpin's Pool, from which, as the tide was out, it required a long length of hose to obtain water. Mr. Mervyn Crofton, superintendent of the water works, and Mr. Crofton, jun., were present, and had the water turned on from hydrants at the east point, and they afforded a good supply of water to the hand engines. Captain Ingram at once set about cutting off communication from the stores, in which were contained large quantities of petro leum, oil, tar, and other combustible materials, and in this he was successful. The wind, fortunately blew from the works towards the graving dock, but this nearly caused the destruction of a large bark which lay in it. The fire soon ceased to rage for lack of fuel. The engines, however, continued working on the smouldering embers. A large party of the C division of police were present, under the command of Inspectors Fitzpatrick and Burke and Sergeant Berry, and gave assistance every way in their power. Fully 200 out of the 500 workmen in the yards will be temporarily thrown out of em ployment by .his catastrophe. The premises are insured. The amount of damage done may be esti mated at about £lO,OOO. THE CIVIL LIST. The civil list pensions granted for the year ending June 20 shows the total amount to be £1,200. The following is the complete list ; some of the pen .sions have, however, already been made known : The two daughters of the late Mr. G. Arbuthnot, of the Treasury, received a pension of £100; Mr. IL J. Doogood, Parliamentary reporter, now blind and paralysed, £4O ; Mr. G. T. Thomason, periodi cal literature, blind, £4O ; the widow of Mr. G. Sykes, late of the South Kensington Museum, £75; Mr. A. 11. Hassall, M.D., £lOO ; Mr. R.

Since Lord Halifax gave notice of his resolution on going in committee on the Reform Bil l, there has bo on such a decided expression of dissatisfaction among the Liberals out of doors that it is most improbable his lordship will press it. We have every confidence that the bill will go into committee without a division to-morrow night.—Sunday Gazette. FRENCH PLAYS.—Mr. Charles Mathews, having kindly given the aid of his eminent talent, will play in conjunction with M. Ravel, in the comedietta, "L'Anglais Timide," on the occasion of the benefit of the popular French actor to-morrow evening. Considerable interest is excited at tho prospect of seeing two of the most celebrated actors on the French and English stage in the same play. Mr. Charles Mathews will play the part of Brown, which he performed with immense success in Paris, at the Moto yarioto A0,y91 playing the part of gogo. • wow.. rt tintar. HER MAJESTY, &c. OSBORNE, July 28. The Queen, accompanied by Princess Louis of Hesse and the Princess of Leiningen, drove out yesterday afternoon, and Princess Louise drove out, attended by the Duchess of Roxburghe. Prince Leopold and Princess Beatrice also went out. Her Majesty, Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse, Princess Louise, Prince Arthur, Princess Beatrice, and the Princess of Leiningen, attended Divine service at Osborne this morning, the ladies and gentlemen in waiting being in attendance. The Rev. R. Duckworth officiated. Prince Arthur and Prince Louis of Hesse, attended by Major Elphinstone and Captain von Wester weller, went in the royal yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain the Prince of Leiningen, to Portland yester day, and visited the fortifications and convict prison there, returning in the evening to Osborne. Their royal highnesses were received by Lieu tenant-Colonel Macdonald, commanding the 2d battalion of the 13th Regiment (Prince Albert's Regiment of Light Infantry), and by Cap tain Tyler, commanding the Royal Engineers, who conducted them round the works ; also by Mr. Clifton and Major Hickey, the governor and deputy-governor of the prison, who conducted their royal highnesses through the establishment. Last season her Majesty did not return from the Highlands before the first week in November. The Queen will not remain so long in Scotland this season, as it is considered too cold for the state of her Majesty's health. The Court will arrive at Windsor from Balmoral about the middle of October, and remain there for the winter season.— Court Circular. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse will shortly Close their visit to her Ma jesty, and take their departure for the Continent. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess Christian aro expected to return to their residence, Frog more Lodge, on or about the 15th of August. On Saturday Princo Arthur, accompanied by Major Elphinstone, inspected the works in progress in con nection with the breakwater at Portland. His Royal Highness afterwards visited the convict prison, and ex pressed himself as much pleased with the internal arrange ments of the establishment. The Duke and Duchess of Cleveland will leave ,own in a few days for Battle near Hastings, to pass several weeks. The Earl and Countess of Aylesford have left ;own for Carlsbad, Gormany, for a fow weeks. Viscount and Lady Adeliza Dunlo left town on Saturday, for Paris. _ . Sir Thomas and Lady Gladstone have left their residence in Eaton-square on a tour of visits. AGRICULTURAL HALL, ISLINGTON.—This decorated, illuminated, and indeed transformed, as it has been, by Messrs. J. Defries and Sons into a "fairy palace," attracts a large concourse of persons nightly, up wards of 100,000 having visited the building during the past week, and consequently arrangements have been made to continue the grand concerts for a limited period. These concerts, under the able direction of Mr. F. Kingsbury, have been equally successful, and the director exhibits a considerable degree of tact in having engaged for the future concerts, commencing this evening (now that tho Royal Italian Opera has closed), a largo number of the artistes belonging to the renowned Covent-garden orchestra including the principal solo instrumentalists. The Rev. B. J. Hatch, who, it will be recollected, was convicted of a serious offence at the Central Criminal Court, and afterwards proved innocent and received a free pardon, has been appointed by the Lord Chancellor to the rectory of Little Stainbridge, Essex. THE AMERICAN LIFE-RAFT.—This frail structure, which has recently made a daring voyage across the At lantic, is now an object of extreme interest at Southampton, boats from which town are constantly proceeding out into the Solent with large parties on board, who aro desirous of seeing the Nonpariel, the name by which the raft is known. The captain, John Mikes, and his crow of two men, aro quite the lions of the day, and aro eagerly ques tioned as to the details of their hazardous trip. ONCE Mori..—A petition is to be presented to the House of Lords from Mrs. Yelverton to-night, as to the validity of the tribunal before which her appeal has been heard. It appears that the law lords sitting on the first day of the appeal were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Crauworth, Lord Westbury, and Lord Colonsay, and that after the first day Lord Westbury retired. Mrs. Yelverton alleges that oi we remaining inree luil,, avc judb moat against her in the Scotch courts, and she submits to their Lordships that Lord Colonsay, whose judgment was appealed from, should not have sat in judgment upon his own decision, and that the Supreme Court for the purpose of hearing the appeal consisted of but two members, and was not, therefore, the Supreme Cuurt of Justice properly constituted according to the requirements and practice of Parliament.—Sunday Gazette. THE CONVICTED BOROUGHS.—WhiIe Lancaster, Reigate, and Totness havaabandonedas hopeless all efforts to retain their Parliamentary privileges, Great Yarmouth is still allowed to struggle for a political existence. At a meeting of the Town Council on Friday, the Deputy-Mayor (Mr. Aldred), in proposing that a petition should be pre sented to the House of Lords against the disfranchisement of the borough, and praying that the local authorities might be hoard by counsel at the bar of that house, said it might bo wrong to speak ill of so august an assembly as the House of Commons, but a greater set of hypocrites he had never hoard of. A very large number of the members owed their seats to the very practices which he was sorry to say pre vailed at Yarmouth ; and how they could have had the audacity to support the disfranchisement of the borough ho was at a loss to understand. The proposed petition was adopted, and it will be presented to the House of Lords by Lord Sondes, high steward of the borough. THE USE OF ANESTHETIC A GENTs.—A word Of caution is necessary to the public respecting the use of anaesthetic agents by persons perfectly unacquainted with their nature. It is assumed by writers of paragraphs in newspapers that these remedies are as easy and as safe of application as the drugs in more common use, the doses of which aro well known, and from the administration of which evil consequences are exceedingly rare. It would be a mistake, however, to assume' that chloroform and other anaesthetic agents can be thus applied; indeed, we think that under no circumstances would any person bo justified in applying these agents to his own case. Under the most careful supervision, and in the most competent hands, their effects aro occasionally fatal. Should they be indiscriminately employed by the public, it is not difficult to see what fearful consequences might result. —The Lancet. SCOTTISH NATIONAL MEMORIAL TO THE PRINCE CONSORT.—We understand that Mr. Steel, having com pleted f ull-sizo models in clay of three of the bas-reliefs fo r this memorial, photographs of them were, by direction of the oemmittee, forwarded to Windsor Castle for the Queen's inspection and approval, also enlarged models of those por tions of the memorial which aro to bo executed full size by Messrs. Brodie, Stanton, Macallum, and Ritchie, the mo dels having been prepared by them from Mr. Steel's ori ginal design, as approved by her Majesty. Mr. Stool was soon after summoned to Windsor Castle, and had the honour of explaining to the Queen what parts the photo graphs and models formed of the memorial, and what they represented. We learn that her Majesty, after carefully inspecting those works and making many valuable re marks, was graciously pleased to approve all the photo graphs and mo 'els. The full-size models of the equestrian statue, and the corner group which Mr. Steel is engaged on, are both considerably advanced, and the moulds of the bas-reliefs are preparing for the bronze.—Edinburgh Courant. ELECTION SATURDAY AT ETON.--On Saturday' the youths at Eton celebrated with the customary cere monies and festivities the election to the foundation of their ancient college. Tho inhabitants of the little town exhibited their interest in the proceedings by making an extraordinary display of bunting, and by appearing in great numbers as witnesses of the regatta and procession of boats up the river. The great event of the day was the reception of Dr. Okes, the Provost of King's College, and Messrs. Bosanquet and Whiting. The Provost arrived punctually, and was received by Dr. Goodford, provost of Eton, the Head Master, and the fellows, in the Cloister yard, and so soon as ho had taken the position assigned to him, the captain of the school, Mr. lluddleston, ad vanced and delivered the "cloister speech," for which be was heartily applauded. In reply the Provost expressed his admiration of the speech and of its delivery, and acknowledged the welcome given to him in appropriate terms. Dr. Okes was then conducted to the chapel, where he attended the special services. After the service dinner was served iu the College hall, and was presided over by Dr. Goodford. Early in the evening the outdoor portion of th© festivities commenced. The several crews of eight, in their varied uniforms, having taken their posi tions, under the direction of Mr. Searle, were started for Surley. They arrived there between seven and eight o'clock, and leaving their boats the crows sat down to an al fresco banquet, served on the banks of the Thames. That being over the whole party returned to the boats and pulled back to Eton, where a grand display of firework s concluded the day's proceedings. A SHARK AT BANGOR.—Last Wednesday a largo fish of tho shark tribe was found in the Port Penrbyn weir. The monster immured from four to five feet 1 14 math,
