THE 11 7 1MBLEDON MEETING. IA r DIBLEDON, Saturday Evening. Once more the great annual gathering of Volun teers on Wimbledon-common has been brought to a close, and the year will be looked back to—not, cer tainly, without some regrets, but generally with satisfaction by those Volunteers who have on this occasion taken an active part in the proceedings. On the Bth of this month the competition com menced ; the sky was then bright, the weather warm and agreeable, and everything seemed to promise the very large number in camp a pleasant fortnight under canvas. For the first few days this state of things continued ; the many-coloured flags drooped heavily about the tops of the flag-staffs ; and there was not a breath of wind to disturb the marksman or to complicate his calculations as to where he should aim with a view to being " on the target." It was not at all surprising that under such favour able circumstances wonderfully good scores were constantly being made, but at the closo of the first week all the happy hopes and prognostications that had been indulged in of a continuance of fine weather were disappointed. The wind rose, tent ropes had to be strengthened, the flags that were left up were torn or fringed by the violence of the gale, and I need not again tell of the drenching rain in which the Prince of \Vales gave the medals to the Belgians on Saturday week, which reduced the hitherto parched common in a few hours into a wretched and miserable swamp, and of which there has been a repetition on almost all the succeeding days of the meeting. Although this is a matter which will be remembered with regret, it is surpris ing that something better than average shooting continued to be made, notwitstanding the bad weather, and although the Queen's prize was won by but a small score, in most of the other competi tions, the competitors were able to make such allow ances for windage and the effects of rain as to insure a number of marks highly creditable to them. What is almost as important, however, as fair weather to these meetings, is order and regularity, and on this head all must have been well pleased. Coming, then, to the last day, when there was promised a most interesting presentation of prizes, and a grand review as a finishing stroke, the public no less than the Volunteers, were, in the matter of weather, again doomed to disappointment. The early morning promised exceedingly well, and even for a couple of hours after noon, although there were many clouds in the sky, there was a prospect of a tolerably fine evening, consequently all classes thronged to the enclosure, and long before three o'clock,. the hour at which it was announced the prizes would be distributed, the Grand Stand was thronged, mainly by ladies, anxious to get a good view of the presentation of the prizes, a duty which her Royal Highness the Princess Mary Adelaide very kindly undertook. For the purpose of this ceremony a dais was erected in front of the centre of the Grand Stand, which was occupied by the Princess Mary Adelaide (who wore a lace dress over a mauve slip and a black shawl with gold stripes), Prince Teck, who wore the uniform of hon. colonel of the Ist Surrey Artillery, Earl and Countess Spen cer and others. Extending to the right and left of the dais were long stands on which were ranged the ! several epergnes, vases, cups, egc., which formed the prizes. Earl Spencer stood by the side of her Royal Highness, and read out the prizes an I the nativs of the winners, who were expected to come to the front and receive the prizes which Captain Mil lmay, as secretary, had in readiness for 11-3 r Rlyal Highness to present. Singularly but few came forward to re ceive tacir prizes formally. For all of those who did come, however, her Royal Ilighttesi had one of those happy smiles that ever seem to plly upon her countenance, and for some of the more distinguished shots, such ai Captain Ross, Mr. Unsworthy, the winners of -the international shield, and the Harrow bays, a few kind words. In each of these instances the company heartily cheered the recipiews of the rewards of their skill; and .when the Englishmen bore off the Elcho Shield on their shoulders perhaps the heartiest cheer of all was given. A little amusement was caused when the win ners of the China Challege Vase, a monster silver work of over four feet high, came forward. The vase was pointed out to her Royal Highness, who looked at it with an expressive smile which seemed to say—Am I supposed to hand over that prize ? and by a graceful movement of the head directed attention to it and bowed to the Winners as they passed by. As no prizes over . £2O were presented and no speeches were made, the ceremony did not last long. The Belgian winners, whose prizes were not ready, passed before her Royal Highness; after which Earl Spencer called for three cheers for her Royal . Highness . who .had so kindly ,and with so much grace presented the prizes. A very genuine and hearty cheer was the response to this appeal, in acknowledgment of which cheer her Royal High ness bowed and then left in her carriage to join the other Royal personages who were expected to be present at the review, and for whose reception and entertainment all necessary provision had been made by Earl Spencer. Then came a weary time of waiting. Nearly two hours elapsed between the presentation of prizes and the review, during which interval the occupants of the Grand Stand remained with more or less patience in momentary anticipa tion of the heavy rain in which they were not finally disappointed. The following is the list of prizes presented : First Stage Queen's Prize (First Prize, the . Silver Medal and £6o.)—Won . by Capt. Wright, 30th Cheshire, 52 marks out of 60.

The commission for the county of Essex was opened on yesterday, and business was proceeded with in both courts this morning, Mr. Baron Mar tin presiding in the Crown Court and Mr. Justice Blackburn on the Civil Side. There were 14 nisi prius causes down for trial, but a good many of them were settled or withdrawn. The gaol calen dar contains the names of 13 prisoners, and the offences include three charges of murder ; in one of them, however, the offence was committed in a luna tic asylum at Brentwood, and the prisoner was undoubtedly of unsound mind, and he has since been removed to the criminal asylum by order of the Secretary of State. With regard to another of the cases of murder, a charge against a man named Draper, it is very probable, from the directions given by the learned judge in his charge to the grand jury, that they will ignore the bill. CIVIL SIDE. PEACOCK V. LAVER. This was an action for breach of promise of mar riage, to which the defendant pleaded that he had not made the promise as alleged. The Hon. G. Denman and Mr. Philbrick were for ;he plaintiff; Mr. Montagu Chamber,?, Q.C., was 'or the defendant. The plaintiff in this case was a young woman, who got her living by dressmaking, named Jane Peacock, who was stated to be 31 years of age, re siding %ith a relative at Stambourne, near Rom ford, and the defendant was an innkeeper, a widower, with two children,living iu the same neighbourhood. The parties appear to have become acquainted in September last, year, and they became very inti mate, and in December the defendant appeared to have made the plaintiff a promise of marriage, and he was introduced to her friends in the capacity of her suitor. The result of the intimacy between the parties was that the plaintiff made preparations for the marriage, but in the beginning of 1867 the de fendant expressed his intention not to carry out his Promise, alleging As a. l l,9XPlVaillintota to support a family. It appeared that the plaintiff, previously to her becoming acquainted with the defendant, had had two illegitimate children, one of whom was eight, and the other six years old, but it was stated that the defendant was aware of this fact at the time he made the promise. An old lady named Asher, in whose house the plaintiff had lived, proved that the defendant used to visit the plaintiff every Tuesday and Friday, and that at the end of last year he said that he would have the banns published, and that he would take her to some large town to be married in January, and also that they should go and live at Haverhill after they were married. The defendant frequently saw the plaintiff's children, and said they were very nice little boys. (A. laugh.) Cross-examined—The plaintiff passed as Miss Peacock, although she had two bouncing boys. (A laugh.) She was not aware that any harm was thought of it in the. neighbourhood. The defendant, she believed, was a hawker of fish, and sold her rings and bloaters, and all sorts of fish. (Renewed laughter.) Was not aware that the first introduc tion between the parties was by the plaintiff buying some red herrings of the defendant. (Laughter.) Soon after this had taken place the defendant used to come into the house, but he always left his fish outside. (Laughter.) They got very friendly after this, and the defendant frequently told her that he thought Jane was a very fine young woman, and that she would make him a good wife. The de fendant also used to make presents to the plaintiff. Mr. Chambers—What used he to bring her— ewellery ? Witness—No. Chops and steaks. (A. roar of laughter.) And I suppose you all used to sit down together, and eat the chops and steaks he brought ?—Exactly. (Renewed laughter.) She did not cook the defen ant's wedding dinner, because he never gave her the chance. (Laughter.) The defendant did not say on one occasion that he did not think he should get married until the days got longer. (Laughter.) Another witness, who was called for the plaintiff, said that the defendant heard the plaintiff's children call her mother, and ho said they would soon come in very handy for him in his business. (Laughter.) Mr. Montagu Chambers made a most humorous address to the jury on behalf of the defendant, and he contended in the first instance that there had been no promise of marriage proved to have been made by the defendant, and that even supposing there had been, the circumstances of the defendant had been very much exaggerated, and that only a very small amount of damages would amply satisfy the justice of the case. The jury returned a verdict fo r the plaintiff, with £2O damages. Before verdict was pronounced, the defend a nt,. a rather rough-looking man, who had been sitting i n court during the trial, got up and exclainrd, amid I did st much laughter, " They m ade me so ' frisky' not know what I did say."

The subject of " American Arclm)logy" has been presented again and again by its special friends, but no action—nothing promising satisfactory results — could be effected. A general apathy pervaded the public as well as the scientific bodies. The Ameri can Ethnological Society, under the able lead of the late Rev. Dr. Hawks, presented a course of lectures with the view of popularising the subject. The gentleman selected to deliver this course, Dr. W. De Hass, has devoted years of close application to care ful research in the great Mound-field, West and South-west. The results of his explorations and observations were given at the Historical Society's hall with great satisfaction to those who at tended. The American Association for the Ad vancement of Science, regarding , the kAbject in its right light and properly appreciating its im portance, appointed a commission on archae ology and ethnology. The special committee consisted of Dr. Wills de Hass, of Virginia, chairman ; Prof. S. S. llaldcrman, Pennsylvania ; Prof. P. T. Tyson, Maryland ; Prof. G. S. Swallow, Missouri, and Dr. Gibbon, North Carolina. The commission did active work until suspended by the war. It how ever, was constantly embarrassed for want of funds. Explorations are expensive, and the " sinews of war" were not at command. The commission laboured under difficulties, but struggled onward, accomplishing much, until interrupted by the hor rors of civil war. With the return of peace it was hoped operations would he resumed. A variety of causes have prevented steady and vigorous prose cution of the work. The indefatigable chairman has embraced every opportunity to continue explo rations, but the constant want of means has much retarded operations. He has been compelled to rely mainly on his own resources. Is this right ? Is it just? Is it the way to promote scientific research ? Notwithstanding all these difficulties, I repeat, much has been accomplished. A large number of tumuli have been:examined ; the mural works—cir cumvallations, forts, &c.—have been carefully and accurately measured and described ; a fine collection of specimens of ancient art—stone, bone, fictilia, copper, &c. &c.—has been made; an archeological map, locating all the principal earth-works in the valley of the Mississippi and subordinate valleys, constructed, and much miscellaneous labour done ; all greatly adding to our hitherto limited stock of antiquarian knowledge. Shall these explorations, so favourably and satis factorily commenced, cease ? If not, how are they to be continued ? The Government, ever ready to squander millions on shoddy politics and all sorts of impracticable schemes, neglects to promote these ex plorations. The Peabody fund, named through the munificence of that gentleman, for investigations in American archaa )logy and ethnology is not avail- . able, or at least has not boon made so. What, then, is to bt: done ? Perhaps the only hope is through the extraneous aid of s)cieties and individuals. If we hesitate much longer a foreign commission will step in and do the work for us. The proposi tion to the learned societies of Great Britain win undoubtedly be acted on unless we push promptly forward. Such a result would be in the highest de gree disgraceful to our Government and discredit able to us as an intelligent and cultivated people. Let us strive to avert this stigma from us. Even the semi-barbarians of Mexico and the tropical S.ytea manifest sufficient_ interest ct , eir . " 1" ex plored and described and their relics' o 3 dAritinre - What have we done t oward forming a national museum ? How much longer shall we remain be hind our half-informed neighbours ? How much longer continue so immeasurably behind the en lightened Governments and p eo p les of Europe ? These arc sober questions, and those who sufficiently a ppreciate them would do well to give them due consideration. It is quite amusing to notice the ignorance pre vailing abroad (and, indeed, I may say at home) about American antiquities. The writers of both the articles already referred to speak of " silver, lead, iron, brass, bronze, vitrified iron ore," &c., &c., as among the contents of the mounds. This is all purely fabulous. Not a particle of any of the metals or alloys named has ever been found in ancient American tumuli, in a manufactured state or original deposits. The great stone-cased mound in Illinois is apochryphal. The monument ("Mork mound," on the American bottom) is sufficiently interesting and important as it stands without adding any fictitious value. The group of mounds of which this is chief den_and the attention of ex plorers. There are about fifty within view of this giant of the plain, some elliptical and others prteri form, the more important of which claim prompt attention, as the Vandal spirit of the age is fast coa -1 signing them to destruction. I hope this matter will properly commend itself to the liberality and intelligence of the scientific public. The present season should not be permitted to ram without the prosecution of extended research. If we have not enlightenment and liberality enough at home, then, by all means, let the foreign commission come on. It is painful to see some of the finest pre-historic monuments yield to the encroachment of modern civilisation without an eff ort to save. Let 1.13 h these works carefully examined and dezerie, have and their,- if consigned to destruction, we willb da faint outline of their former grandeur. STY7IIIIIING. IiowLEY (L.S.C.)—T hese men E.

Notwithstanding the announcement that a sweepstakes of £lO each would take place on the water hero on Satur day, owing to the volunteer review at Wimbledon, but few of the aristocratic sportsmen were present, consequently the Grand Sweepstakes did not take place; but in order not to disappoint the few spectators who had paid 2s. 6d. each to witness the sport, some handicap sweepstakes of £2 and £1 each were got up. The first event—a sweepstakes of _ £2 each, at five birds—produced only five competitors, and Mr. Norris and Mr. Rudd killed four out of five birds each, and divided. The second sweepstakes of £2 each brought out seven sportsmen, and Mr. Rudd, Mr. Coates, and Sir C. Legard tied by rattling down four out of five birds each. They shot the tie off bird for bird, but Mr. Coates and Mr. Rudd tying at their second bird they t.greed to divide the stakes. Ten then tried their luck in a sweepstakes of £1 each, at three birds each, which was won cleverly by Mr. Herber', who killed all his.-bias (three) Thr- same number 000 tended in the second trial, which was won easily by Count de Gelidly., who brought down all his birds (3). Ho likwiso carried off the third sweep by kiting all. Mr. R. Herbert and Mr. Rudd tied for the fourth sweep by killing all their birds (3), and in shooting the tie off bird for bird the former won at the third round. Eight contended in the fifth sweep, which was tied for by Sir H. Pottinger, SirC. Legard, Mr. Norris, and Mr. Harrison, who killed all their birds (3), and in shooting the tie off Mr. Harrison won at the second round. Mr. Whittingstall and Mr. R. Herbert tied for the sixth and final sweep, beating six others. They shot the do off, and, after a severe struggle, Mr. Herbert won at the ninth round by killing all his birds, thus scoring 12 with out a miss. The betting was from 7t04 to 2 to lon the gun, consequently the fielders had a shocking bad time of it, for in the last two handicaps 54 birds out of 68 were killed, thus showing that by laying 4 to 1 on the gun the layers must have won their money. THE MOORS. The prospects of the 12th of August on the best range of moor running from the neighbourhood of Sheffield and Penistone, through Cheshire and Derbyshire, are very far from promising. The keepers on some of the most ex tensive grounds complain of great scarcity of birds, largo numbers having been found dead from the severity of the weather and the want of feeding. tip to March there ap peared to be favourable indications of a moderately good season, but since then the grouse have rapidly declined, a considerable number of them having been evidently at tacked by disease, as the livers of several which were opened appeared like a clot of blood. Oa Mr. Stanhope's moors at Dunford and Snailden, comprising some 5,000 or 6,000 scree, although not much shot over last year, birds aro very scarce, and only in the vicinity of some of the lodges and moor farms, where they have been regularly fed, aro there any numbers to be seen. Tho same is also the case on the grounds at Woodhead, belonging to Mr. Tulle mache, and in the neighbourhood of Ilolmfirth. At Boar dill Flats, Sir Lionel Pilkington's moors, which aro gene rally well stocked, the birds aro few, and such may be said to be the case for very Teeny miles around. It it is not expected that on several of the shootings there will be an opening this season, as the killing of the small number to be found would seriously injure the prospects of next year. In going over some miles of generally good moors on Sa turday last very few birds wore to be seen, and matters will not be much improved by the late rains. COMRIE—PROSPECTS FOIL THE Tweerene—The pro spects of sportsmen for the ensuing Twelfth have not been so gloomy in this district of Perthshire for a long series of years. The disease which provel so deadly among grouse on othet moors of the county has also made sad havoc among the birds on all the extensive moors in this m et the erieeetrie The netkely seem; to car.) boon unit dis:ructivo oa the m ews of Lochearneide, Glenertney, and the other shooting grounds stretching towards Balgultilder and • Callender, and in some places very few birds have boon left. At Innergeldie, Dunira, Strowan, and other places, the distem per has scarcely been so destructive ; but on au average gamekeepers calculate that the mortality will range from 70 to 80 poe cent. It appears from the reports--r e herefere cently received that the young broods of grouse on the various moors present a very irreguar appearance in regard f rotweeher and size. In some instances the broods number each, and aro strong but many trooue?r , t , the wing; and throe birds each, and them wee _____ long hatched. On the extensive moors of DilitWOM Castle and other places there will be no shooting this season ; and several of the proprietors have wisely re solved, owing to the mortality among grouse, to give a jubilee to the few remaining birds. The prospects of sport in the low country, however, have seldom been so encour aging. All descriptions of game are abundant and in the best condition. Partridges especially re unusually n neum roue; but among th e coveys, which number from n n to twelve birds each, there are some very late and small birds. In the preserve pheasants and capercailzie have broil well, and the numerous young broods are large and well grown. WHAT DO WE WORK FOR? The question we desire briefly to discuss is not " Why do we work ?" but "What do wo work for?" Some may answer at onw, "For money—wages or salaries." Wo do not think this a full and correct reply to the question. Labour may be the Adamite curse, but, if so, the innate desires of I man and his restlessness and ambition for improvement have changed the curse to a positive blessing, and made the earth—thorn and thistle cursed—to bloom and blossom I like the rose. We work partly because we need it. We need it for health of m ind as well as of body. Idleness leads to decay, and decay to death. Ito who through years of active exertion leaves his employment and " retires from business" usually signs his death-warrant. Re vege tates for a while in idleness and dies, nnloss he has sense enough to discover his mistake in time and return to thle e paths of active u sefulness. There are few more pitiab iv - objects than the ma n who after many y ea rs of acte ser vice in business is deluded into a belief that happiness and a reward for his labours are to be found in withdrawing from all participation in tho loss of life. Old ago is au excuse for idleness, latt the pession of money is not. We do not wor k for money almari. The mechanic who wou ld be content to do the work of an apprentice merely because he could earn more wages would wbo hardly worth the na me of a mec hanic. The amount of ages or salary is a recognition of ability and a standard of value for ser vices performed, but not the only incentive to exertion. A workman feels a pride in his work, in the results of his skill, entirely unconnected with the amount of money re ceived for it. If ho did not, ono very strong motive for improvement would be lacking. Almost every mechanic will agree with us that ho has done jobs which afforded him more gratification in their success than he derived from the possession of the pecuniary compensation there for. flow often a man will undertake a job which he knows beforehand will not "pay" in cash, what it costs, but mainly for the pride of performing successfully. It is true that "the labourer is worthy of his hire," but to ngrco that the hire is the only, or even the principal, incentive is unreasonable, not sustained by facts, and derogatory to the "dignity of labour," a phrase often misused, but a per fectly correct one. To be sure, if the efforts of the work man—and by this term wo moan all who do —are not ap preciated by adequate compensation ho seeks other employers who have a proper appreciation of his value. Wo work for progress ; for progress individually aid for the progress of the race. One means to that progress is the payment for services rendered, as it will enable the skilful workman and the ins/ ntivo mechanic to carry fur ' ward their plans of improvement iu manual labour or in labour-saving machines. We work for the godlike pride of creation. The machine which is an offspring of the brain of the mechanic is as much, and more, his than that of his loins. If he is ill paid for his labour, mental or physical, ho has the compensation of a satisfaction in his success which cannot t o assured by money only, but which must be felt in the knowledge that he hai sneceeded whore others failed, and has secured an impregnable position as one of the pioneers in the grand march of improvement.
