Om.—Afternoon, 2h. ?2m. r4.\ 5 , 11114 LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUG. 14, 1867 To-day the Ministerial white-bait dinner takes place, and the fact is worthy of notice on account of the peculiar circumstances of the case. 'Who among the sage political prophets believed at the close of last session that the Government then in office would survive the storms of another session, and partake of the accustoinrd offering which Ministers offer up to the Parliamentary deities who have guarded their cause through the perils of debate, and brought them to the haven of the recess ? The present Government has par ticular reason for rejoicing that this day has arrived, not only because they have remained in office, but because of the work they have done there. The Reform Bill is indeed a trophy to boast of, and no doubt the Opposition leaders, who have so often celebrated this festival, bitterly repent the eclat which surrounds the one of to-day. We really think that a useful lesson may be learned from this unexpected denouement to the ses sion, and that for the future people may be inclined to look upon political matters with more prescience. No one can say that Lord DERBY'S Government has not earned a passing re:4pite from their labours, for this has been a most arduous session, and one full of anxiety and care. The Reform Bill has been the chief thing, but many other useful measures have been passed, and the affairs of the country in general put into working order with spirit and determination. The f, reign aff iirs have been conduct 6 with consummate tact, and all know that Lor, STANLEY has been mainly instrumental in . preventint , a continental war. We see no came to regret that the company who Meet at the White bait dinner of to-day should be composed of diffe rent individuals to those who have so many times and oft feasted there; and those who are the present occupants of office can, in recalling the events of the Session, point to more items in one year than their predecessors had accomplished in seven, which is an encouraging reminiscence, and one that holds out promise for the future. The cave of ML. EYRE hai Lug excited attention, and also given rise to indignation in many quarters, and we may fairly say that never was there all instance of Frejucliee working out A wrong more [HE SUN, LONuON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 14, 1867. glaringly exhibited than with this man, who has so of the position of the Mexicans themselves we learn long and so faithfully served his country. Last nothing. Documents have, however, been published night Lord SIIREWSBURY asked t h e Government if in New York, showing that the late Emperor made they would undertake to defend Mr. EYRE from a proposition to JUAREZ, through the United States another prosecution. The noble earl made a very Government, offering to retiro from Mexico until interesting speech, in the course of which he referred the permanency of the Empire could be decided to the distinguished services rendered to the country by the people. Mr. SEWARD declined to entertain by Mr. Err:E. Perhaps the most effective thing the proposition, not recognising the right that he said was the allusion to the insurrection in. of Maximum; to represent any portion Ceylon, when a similar clamour was raised to that of the Empire. Mr. SEWARD was known about Jamaica ; and when it was proposed to send i to have been strongly averse to the imperial out a Commissioner to inquire iii!o the cruelty said interest, and has taken no pains to conceal his satis to have been used, Earl RUSSELL, in the strongest faction at the downfall of the Empire, and the manner, denounced the attempt, remarking that "if establibhment, as he thinks, of the MONROE doe anyGovernmentwas totake thedastardlypartofsaeri- trine. His refusal to take any part in this negotia ficing a Governor because there was a clamour raised Lion, however, is ecai cely to his credit, and many against him, got up with great perseverance and persons who have already censured him for the industry, he believed that the Government, while it part he has played, will now be convinced that the would sacrifice the Colonies, would meet with the re- tragedy which has aroused the sympathies of the probation—the deserved reprobation—of the people whole of Europe might have been averted by a of England." Thus, said Lord SHREWSBURY, Lord more conciliatory action on the part of the Ame- RUSSELL threw the shield of his authority over rican Minister. Lord TORRINGTON, and yet he was the head of the Government that gave way to the clamour raised by the Jamaica Committee, and sacrificed Governor EYRE. The noble lord also referred to the many occasions on which Mr. EYRE had signalised himself by his zeal and devotion for the public cause. lie has been before the public for 25 years, and where ever he has served he has obtained marks of approval for his conduct. Even in the affair of the insurrection in Jamaica, Mr. CARDWELL sent a despatch in which he mentioned his approval of the " spirit and judgment" which had been shown by the Governor during the disturbance. But a change came over the scene, and after the Jamaica Com mittee waited on the Ministers. " 'Whether the late Government was afraid of alienating Parlia mentary support was not for him to say, but in consequence of the importunity of that Committee a commission was sent out to Jamaica." As Lord SHREWSBURY very truly said, addresses of congra tulation were presented by both Houses of the Legislature, and from persons of all religious deno minations in the island, all of whom agreed that Mr. ErnE's decision and promptitude was the means of saving the lives of the white and coloured population. We entirely concur with the noble lord, that where a great danger exists there must be some remedy, and the Government must act in self-defence in cases of emergency. A strong proof in favour of the course adopted by the late Governor was fur nished by the reply of the present one to Lord CARNARVON in remitting the sentences in some cases which had been passed by the Commission. He stated that it would not be advisable to do so. He deemed it to be inadvisable to remit any part of any sentence for a long time to come, " and then only ifjthe state of feeling in the colony recovered its tone." The Duke of BUCKINGHAM said that the Government could not do as the Roble lord desired, and undertake to defend Mr. EYRE from any just prosecution, but that when these trials were over that would be the proper time for them to form an opinion as to whit course they ought to pursue respecting Mr. EYRE. We hope and trust that when that time arrives the Government will take into consideration the gallant services rendered by that gentleman, and appoint him to a fitting post, where he can still serve his country, for to have him living as he is is only giv ing occasion to say that he is dismissed from the public service, while it would be a lasting reproach to this country that so distinguished a public ser vant should be so neglected and passed over. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Tuesday Evening. The residents of Paris, who are able to do so, are leaving the capital for the provinces, and aristocrats are getting scarce here. Although one hears of the capital being deserted, however, we arc not yet come to the " last man," and I assure you that there are yet a few people in the streets, the promenades, and the cafés. The King and Queen of Portugal and the Duke de Coimbra have left and are gone back to their respective localities. So has the King of Sweden. They have all been intensely delighted with Paris, but yet they seem to cling to the idea that " there is no place like home." On the other hand, however, we shall have the King of Greece here to-morrow. The Moniteur states that the accounts brought to 'Trieste by the Suez mail are dated Hong Kong, June 29. Some difficulties had arisen at Japan between the Taicoun and the Daimios relative to the opening of several ports to foreign commerce. The claim of the Daimios was that the system of free trade adopted at Osaka should be extended to the other ports of their dominions. The Taicoun, however, dissents for the present, and exhibits a hopeless and melancholy desire to struggle for the principle of Protection. Nobody in the Daimios territory seems to wish that he may get it, with the exception of his retrograde advisers. The Emperor, on being informed of the melancholy catastrophe at Bordeaux, sent to the Prefect of the Gironde a sum of 5,000 f. for the relief of the suf- ferers. A question of great importance as regards indivi dual liberty is about to be brought before the Tribunals. On the 4th of June last, when the Emperor of Russia went to the Opera, there was a sort of Polish manifestation, and, in consequence, of cries from the mob of "Vivo lai Pologne," many individuals were arrested. Among them was a respectable gentleman named Parent, who took no part in the cries, and who had no sym pathy whatever with the demonstration. Never theless he was arrested by a police agent named Andre, who took him to the station. Not con tent with this, Audrc, as the complainant alleges, kicked and insulted him, and called him a " miser able wretch." The complainant was detained for several days. He has therefore taken proceedings, and claims the sum of 100 francs as damage 3, and the payment of all the costs to which he may be subjected. The case will be heard in a day or two, when, of course, I shall send you the par ticulars. The Atlantic cable brings us the important news that President JOHNSON has suspended Mr. STAN TON, and appointed General GRANI Secretary of War. It will be remembered that the PRESIDENT had requested Mr. STANTON to resign, and that the Secretary declined to do so. The differences in the Cabinet had long been a matter of general comment, at least so far as Mr. STANTON was concerned, for the other Ministers have for the most part given Mr. JOHNSON a willing sup port. It was a question whether the PRESI DENT would follow up his demand or whether he would shrink from so bold a step as the suspension of a Secretary of State. However, ho is not a man to be easily daunted, and in this instance, at least, he has shown his wisdom by insisting on the fulfilment of his original purpose. lie has enough to contend against in the vehement opposition and audacious insolence of the extreme Radicals. It would be a proof of weakness to per mit the same thing among his own colleagues. A I united Cabinet can do much, but a traitor in the camp is a dangerous foe, and under the existing circumstances he could hardly occupy a more criti cal position than the Secretary of War. The PRESIDENT'S greatest stronghold, now that the Radicals have clipped his powers in so many ways, is his office of Commander-in-Chief. By this he retains the superiority over all those district com manders and arrogant military officers whom Con gress has put over the heads of all civil authorities in the Southern States. It is manifest how much Mr. JOHNSON would lose by having as his Secretary of War a disaffected colleague, who differs from his policy, despises his authority, and resents his control. The Radicals knew they had a powerful ally in Mr. STANTON, whose opinions were no secret. Mr. JOHNSON has yet full eighteen months of power, and much may be done in that time. It is very pos sible that feeling himself strengthened by the grow ing aversion of the country to the Radical policy he may strike out a bolder course, of which this super cession of a troublesome colleague is the first step. The appointment of G RANTin STANTON'S place is awise andpolitic measure. GRANT has always been popular, and at one time he acted very cordially in concert with the PRESIDENT. He is certainly the right man for the place, and the offer of it is due to his mili tary reputation and to his political standing ; for though no great statesman himself, he is confidently looked to as the next President. If GRANT will act heartily with the President, Mr. JOHNSON'S position will be immensely strengthened, and he will be free to take vigorous steps for the better administration of affairs in the South. GRANT'S popularity with the army will make it difficult for the Radicals to circumvent his influence or defy his authority, and Mr. JOHNSON could hardly have secured a more valuable ally. The news will not be very welcome to General SHERIDAN, who con tinues to lord it over the unlucky district under his command in the most arbitrary fashion. He has removed the alderman and assistant alderman of New Orleans, on the plea of their opposing the Reconstruction Laws. Naturally his conduct has excited warm approval among the Re and the Virginian R e p u bli can publicans ; State Convention, which has recently been adjourned at Richmond, has endorsed his action in removing the Governor of Texas, " notwithstand ing the embarrassments thrown round General SHERIDAN by the PRESIDENT." In Tennessee the Republicans have carried the day, Governor BR OWNLOW having a majority of 30,000 votes. happily the election which has occasioned so much apprehension has passed off quietly.

A short time previous to the arrival of the train at the Berlin station the guard shut the door of the car riage Sullenly, and did much injury to the fingers of M. de Bismark's right hand. The injury, how ever, is not so great as to prevent the Minister from pursuing his ordinary labours. The 3foniteur Prussien announces that a Royal ordinance his been signed, which, in execution of Article 12 of the Constitution of Northern Ger many, fixes the 15th of August as the period for the meeting of the Federal Council. Various military manoeuvres take place daily at the camp at Chalons, at which the Emperor is present. One operation was an attack upon a line of field works, executed by four divisions, with a strong reserve. The troops formed in echelon, a difficult manoeuvre at all times when the number of troops engaged in it is considerable. The attack was made upon the supposed enemy, and the works carried with great precision and effect. On the next day a brigade of the Second Division of Infantry went through some new and very difficult operations to the perfect satisfaction of the Em peror. Races, night fetes, and various other amusements are about to take place at Chalons. The Journal des Debats gives a sort of half official contradiction to the opinion emitted by some of the journals that there is nothing political connected with the ensuing meeting between the Emperor Napoleon and the Emperor of Austria at Salsbourg. It seems to think that there is more in the meeting than " meets the ear." Referring to the opinion given by some German and other journals that the object of the meeting is to enable these two great monarchs to confer upon the best mode of prevent ing " surprises" and insuring the peace of Europe fur many years. The Journal des Debuts says it heartily responds to the wish. So ba it. In spite of the excessive heat, such a judicious system of ventilation has been adopted at the Exhi bition that vast quantities of fresh air are intro duced by strong motive power, and the temperature is always cool and agreeable. The Exhibition is the on ly place in Paris where it is cool. The agreeable sensation is at least worth the franc charged for ad mission. To-day it has been more than usually thronged, and the Parisians and fvreign visitors seem determined to enjoy it while they may. Your readers should do so likewise, for I am informed to ' day on authority not to be questioned that, in spite of the expectations that the building would be allowed to remain as it is for years, the Commis sioners have come to the final and positive determi nation that the Exhibition shall be closed in pur suance of their former announcements, on the last day of September. The Dutch papers received in Paris to-day an nounce that the cattle plague is on the hecrease in Holland. The malady had begun to decline, but it has broken out again with increased intensity in the places where it prevailed, and had manifested itselfin several other communes. The Moniteur of this even•ng does not contain any news of the lent interest, either official or :neral. PLymouni, Aug. 13.—The annual swimming matches took place to-day. For the All-Comers' match eight prize swimmers swam. Henry Grin . , of Loudon, the Champion of England, was first. The distance was 1,000 yards, twice over a course. Time, 13inin. 21soc. David Pamphlin, of London, was a very close second. The pro vincial men wore nowhere. FACTS ABOUT CRIME.—Some interesting facts and figures about crime in England and Wales have just been published in the thick blue-book of judicial statistics for 1866. Compared with the previous year, serious offences show a gratifying decrease, whil., probably on account of more frequent application of swain:try jurisdiction, th e minor offeucos disposal of by rungistrat•)s .thow an increase. We learn that we have 23,723 policemen, who cost us X 1,827,105, being 478 constables and £78,647 more than the year before. The criminal classes "at largo" are sot down at 113,566, but of these 33,191 are of the tramp and vagrant fraternity. Those not at largo are 16,706 in local prisons, 7,018 in convict establishments, and 3,635 in re formatories. In England and Wales are 20,249 houses of bad character. During the year there were 50,549 indictable offences, in respect of which 27,190 persons wero apprehended and committed. The murders numbered 131, being four loss than the total of 1865. The attempts to murder were 45, and there were 679 cases of shooting, stab bing, &c.; 250 cases of manslaughter, 8 of attempts to pro cure miscarriage, 211 of concealment of birth, 155 of un natural offences, 257 of rape, 322 of assaults with intent, &c., 272 of assaults and bodily harm, 207 of common assault, and 1.64 of assaults on " peace officers." There were 481,710 persons proceeded against summarily, and of these more than one-lovath were dik'ClArzA. THE LTE. (From the Registrar-General's Return.) In the week that ended on Saturday, August 10, he births registered in London and 12 other large ,owns of the United Kingdom were 4,201 ; the deaths registered, 2,715. The annual rate of mor tality was 23 per 1,000 persons living. In London the births of 1,053 boys and 1,034 girls, in all 2,087 children, were registered in the week. In the corresponding weeks of the ten years 1857-66 the average number, corrected for increase of population, is 1,958. The deaths registerel in London during the week were 1,274. It was the 32 , 1 week of the year, and the averagJ number of deaths for that week is, with a correction for increase of population, 1,391. The deaths in the present return are less by 120 than the estimated number. The deaths of 177 children and 12 adults from diarrhoea were registered last week ; in the four preceding weeks the numbers were 115, 170, 196, 217. The disease has not exhibited an epidemic character, and if the ordinary safeguards of health and life are not neglected, the mortality will pro- bably not be greater than it generally is at this season of the year. Young children are the greatest sufferers when diarrhoea is prevalent, and the pro- portion of the deaths of infants as compared with _ . those of adults is startling ; many of these young lives would be saved if proper attention were paid to diet, and medical aid obtained at the earliest stage of the malady. Last week 26 deaths from diarrhoea occurred in the west, 46 in the north, 30 in the central, 41 in the east, and 43 in the south districts. 13 deaths from cholera or choleraic diarrhoea were registered. In the corresponding week of last year (1866) the deaths from diarrhoea were 264 and from cholera 781.

In same sub-district, at Grant-road, on August 8, a daughter of a builder, aged 3 months, choleraic diarrhoea, exhaustion. The deaths of three persons who were killed by horses or carriages in the streets were registered. The annual rate of mortality last week was 22 per 1,000 in London, 21 in Edinburgh, and 21 in Dub lin ; 14 in Bristol, 27 in Birmingham, 28 in Liverpool, 28 in Manchester, 24 in Salford, 22 in Sheffield, 29 in Leeds, 22 in Hull, 24 in Newcastle upon-Tyne, and 21 in Glasgow. The rate in Vienna was 22 per 1,000 during the week ending the 3 , 1 inst. when the mean temperature was 5.1 deg. Fahrenheit higher than in the same week in London, where the rate was 22. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.747 in. The barometrical reading decreased from 29.57 in. on Thursday, Aug. 8, to 30.00 in. by the end of the week. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 601 deg., which is:2:deg. below the ave rage of the same week in 50 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher.) The highest day temperature was 75.9 deg. on Saturday, Aug. 10. The lowest night temperature was 491 deg., on Wednesday, Aug. 7. The entire range of temperature in the week was therefore 26.8 deg. The mean of the highest temperatures of the water of the Thames was 62 deg. ; that of the lowest was 60.5 deg. The difference between the mean-dew point tem perature and air temperature was 5.7 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 82, complete saturation being represented by 100. Rain fell to the amount of 1.09 in. A few meteors were seen during the night of Saturday, Aug. 10. According to a return furnished by the engineer of the Metropolitan Board of Works, the average daily quantity of sewage pumped into the river Thames at the Southern Outfall Works, Crossness, was 51, 615,039 gallons, or 231,617 cubic metres, equi valent to about as many tons by weight. The London sewers will carry off, according to the computation of Mr. Bazalgette, in addition to the sewage, kin. of rain in 24 hours ; but between midnight and 9 o'clock of Friday morning, July 26 , 3iin. rain fell, net like a thunderstorm, but by a uniform downfall extending over the whole me tropolitan area. London was covered with 26 mil lion tons of water. The tide rose as the storm fell, so that the discharge of the waters by the sewers into the Thames became impossible ; and the lower parts of South London were flooded, where at high water the river is 61t. or 7ft. higher than the streets and 12ft. higher than the basements of the houses.

VALETTA, August B.—Letter3 received last nig' from the squadron, dated o ff Ni ce , A ug . 2, state that the ships sailing under the command of Lord Clarence Paget, C. 8., left Toulon on the 18th ult., and after cruising for five days and exercing gun drill, anchored in Golfe lonan, between Cannes and Nice, on the 22d. On the same day they met the French squadron at sea, also cruising, and exchanged complimentary signals with them. On the 24th the English squadron sailed from Golfe lonan, leaving the Psyche there, and on the 26th arrived at San Fiorenzo Bay, in Corsica. At this place the officers had some sport, both in shooting and fishing. Large numbers of the population visited the ships during their stay, no ship of war having been there for many years. Ou the morning of the 31st the Tyrian gunboat, which had been left behind for the pur pose, arrived from Toulon with the mails, and soon afterwards the squadron weighed and proceeded to sea, passing the French squadron just off the northern point of Corsica. They were again seen on the fol lowing morning under steam (they appear never to use sails), steering to the southward. The Tyrian was to go into Villa Franca on the evening of the 24, with mails from the squadron. Captain Ingle field, of the Prince Consort, was to proceed by that vessel on 11 days' leave of absence, on a visit to England. The Tyrian was to remain at that place until the 12th inst., when she would rejoin the Commander-in-Chief's flag with the mails from England. The .quadron was to be divided between Genoa and Spezzia. Most probably the Caledonia, flagship, and Arethusa would go to the former, and the Prince Consort and Royal Oak to the latter port. The following appointments have been made :—Mr. C. E. Napier and Mr. A. 0. Tottenham, supernu merary sp - b-lieuts. of the Prince Consort, to the Prince Consort, as part complement ; Mr. C. G. Whitelock, supernumerary sub-lieut. of the Prince Consort, has been invalided ; Licut. W. Stewart, formerly of the Victoria, is to be Flag Lieut. to the Commander-in-Chief, in lieu of Licut. Kennedy, promoted. The Cruizer, 5, screw corvette, Com mander M. Singer,left last night after the arrival of the mail, to join the Commander-in-Chief either at Leghorn or Genoa. The only British man of war now in port, besides the flagship of the Admiral Su perintendent, is the surveying vessel Hydra, Capt. sliwtlaud, This vessel hay been employed hurvey- THE BOMBAY MAIL. ALEXANDRIA, Aug. 13. The Tanjore sailed at 9 a.m., and the Nyanza at noon to-day. The former may be expected at Maiseilles on the 19th, and the latter at Southampton on or about ,he 26th inst.

It appears that, from information received in Manchester by Mr. Neshan, a clerk of the prosecutors, he visited the Boardsley Station at Birmingham, and in a truck saw five casks bearing the prosecutors' brand, " E. 11. and Co., Worcester," as well as the number of each cask, and a capital letter indicating the quality of the a t Birmingham the co ntents. Each cas k had on i t a card bearing the address of defenda nt, and an intim ation that it wa s to b as soon as empty. et ir. number of casks and placed his initi als on each . He subsequently er l returned e N d to es h a an firm took down proceeded to Lancaster, and having ascertained that the casks had arrived there, he placed himself in communication with Mr. Black, an innkeeper, and recently an inspector in the Lancaster police force. Mr. Black waited upon the defendant and asked if ho had got any of the prosecutors' vinegar for sale. Defendant at first said he was without any, but that he could get some in a day or two. Black told him that he should like to have it at once, where upon defendant said, " Oh, by the bye, I have got some in the warehouse, which came in yesterday," and he instructed his man to let Black taste it. Having done so, Black ordered a cask of the vinegar, which was delivered the same day. The vinegar which was in one of the casks Mr. Nesham had seen at Birmingham was sold at 1,2 4s. 4d., being at the rate of ls. 41 per gallon. For the defence it was contended that the brand upon the cask merely de noted to whom it belonged, and was not intended as a trade mark within the meaning of the act. It was shown, however, that whenever the prosecutors received casks to be filled bearing other firms' ini tials they obtained authority from the parties to destroy the brand before sending out any vinegar in them.

It is with much regret, however, I have to report the death of the surgeon, Mr. Owen J. Llewellyn, who died on the 3d inst., in the Royal Naval Hospital, of diarrhoea, after a few days' ill ness. Several of the crew have been laid up with diarrhoea, supposed to have been contracted on the Sicilian coast, but it is satisfactory to state that at present all on board are in good health. Owing to the constant obstructions arising from quarantine, which one town or di:strict imposes on another, it is not improbable the further survey of the coast of Sicily will be discontinued or given up, and should this be determined on Iceland may be selected as the scene of the hydra's future hydrographical labours. ller Majesty's iron screw troopship Simoom, Capt. T. B. Lethbridge, which has made an excellent passage of 19 days from Malta to Ha- lifax, with the first division of the 3d brigade Royal Artillery, is expected back here about the 18th, with the 10th brigade Royal Artillery, and will leave again on the 24th inst. for Halifax with the head-quarters of the brigade. The iron screw steamship Supply, Staff-Com. C. Bawden, arrived here on the Gth inst. from Deptford, Spithead, and Gibraltar, with Government stores. She has on board some heavy moorings, to be laid down for the use of the Royal Navy in the newly-acquired an chorage called the French Creek. It is expected that the Supply will leave on her return to England in eight or ten days, taking condemned stores. The Austrian ironclad frigate Archduke Ferdinand Max, Captain Berry, left port early yesterday morning, on her return to Trieste, having completed the repairs for which she was sent to Malta. Her captain and officers, I understand, were highly pleased with the kindness and attention re- _ . ceived from the naval authorities during their stay here. The Sehwartzenburg, frigate (bearing the broad pennant of Corn. Pokorny), will have made good her defects by Saturday next, when she will proceed to Smyrna. An interesting event took place here on Thursday, August 1. On that day was laid the first stone of the new royal naval dock in the French Creek, by Rear-Admiral Kellett, in presence of the principal officers of the dockyard and a few private friends. The grand ceremony of laying the key-stone will, it is hoped, come off about October, when the works will be far enough advanced to admit of the public being present, without fear of a flooding of the works, a contingency which is at present not at all improbable. Thanks, however, to the arrangements made by the Admiralty civil en giceer, Mr. Lovell, everything worked admirably, and the stone was set at a depth below sea-level of 41ft., mithout any disappointment on the part of the authorities or inconvenience to the guests. The Prince and Princess 'reek paid a visit to Al- dershot yesterday afternoon, when a grand review o the troops of the division took place. The troops formed on tLe Queen's Birthday-parade, on Cove common, shortly after 2 o'clock, under command of Lieut.-Gen. the lion. Sir J. Y. Scarlett, K.C.8., in one line of contiguous column. Their Royal High nesses, accompanied by Sir James and Lady Yorke Scarlett, Colonel Newdegate, A.A.G., Col. ller bort, C. 8., Col. Laffan, R.E., and Col. lluyshe, R.A., arrived on the ground shortly after the for mation, and were received with the usual salute. The division having been inspected, and the Prince and Princess having taken up a position atthe salut ing base, the troops marched past as follows : The Royal Horse Artillery, Cavalry, and Royal Artillery, in open column of batteries and squadrons at a walk, and the infantry in open column of grand divisions in quick time, viz.—Staff of the division, Lieut.-Gen. Sir J. Y. Scarlett,K.C.B, commanding; Staff of the cavalry brigade, Major-Gen. E. Hodge, C. 8., Col. lluyshe, and B, C, D, and B batteries, C Brigade, Royal horse Artillery, Major Anderson and the King's Dragoon Guards, Col. Shute and 4th Dragoon Guards, Col.

Camp bell, CAB., commanding.—Col. Call And Ist Batta lion 18th Royal Irish ; Col. Wyatt, C. 8., and 65th Regiment; Col. Browne, C. 8., and 44th Regiment. As the Royal Horse Artillery, Cavalry, and Royal Artillery passed the saluting point they wheeled round and again passed in the above order at a trot. The Cavalry and Royal Horse Artillery again passed at a gallop. As the Infantry passed they formed columns of companies, and closed to quarter dis tance on the leading company, formed columns en masse, countermarched, and then passed the salut ing point from the reverse flank left in front. They again countermarched, and for the third time passed the saluting point in line of contiguous column of brigades. The movements incidental to a field day were then gone through, in which all arms of the service took part. In the course of the battle the entire division crossed the Basingstoke Canal by several pontoon bridges, which were thrown across by the Royal Engineers, the Cavalry taking the valley by Norris and &lamer Bridges. After an hour and a half's fight the division was ordered to quarters, which were r.2ached at 4.30. This was the first afternoon field day for the season, and, in con- sequence of a rumour that prevailed during the morning to the effect that her Majesty would be pre sent, there were a very large number of spectators. The day was intensely hot, and the men paraded without knapsacks. About 5,600 of all ranks were present. Their Royal Highnesses were the guests of Sir James and Lady Scarlett during the evening. THE LOSS OF THE MISSIONARY BARQUE JOHN WILLIAMS. The report of the loss of the missionary barque John Williams, on the north end of Savage Island, has been confirmed by the arrival at Sydney of Cap tain Williams and the officers and crew in the brig Tawcra, from Tahiti, via Navigators' Island. From the particulars supplied by Captain Williams, it seems that on the 9th of January the ship went off Savage Island, and the boats went on shore. At evening the boats returned to the vessel, which was then four or five miles from the shore, and as the wind was getting light, all sail was made. The wind soon after fell off altogether, and as the ship was getting near the reef, the boats were got out and sent ahead to tow. Blue lights were burned, and a man was kept sounding, but could find no bottom. with the deep Sea line. At half-past 10 o'clock at night the boat's were called alongside, and the ladies and chil dren, and then the other passengers and the crew, were got into the boats. As soon as the boats left off pulling the ship's head turned to the reef, and she was almost in the breakers when the boats quitted her. She struck at 11 o'clock with a tre mendous crash. The boats, with their freight of 72 souls, got to the shore, and the passengers were taken through the surf, two or three at a time, in a canoe, by the natives. All were landed safely. The next morning the ship was seen lying on the reef, with her back broken, and the sea breaking right over her. Some natives went on board, but could succeed in saving only very little of the goods. —Melbourne Argus, June 27. CAPTURE (IF A CHAMELEON I 1 `( SNOW -II ILL.—A chameleon was run overon Tuesday last by a cab on Snow hill, whore tho road branches off to avoid the Holborn valley improvements. When first observed the little reptile was slowly creeping up the spoke of the wheel, which had nearly amputated its tail. Its rescuer, fearing to touch the creature with his uncovered hand, rolled it up in hie handkerchief and brought it to our office for identification. On opening tho parcel we found it to contain a chameleon (Charade° Africanus). It bad been badly injured, the wheel of the cab having grazed the skin from off a considerable portion of its tail. We purchased the quaint-looking lizarl, and having immensely alleviated all injuries ty the judici ous application of glycerin ) and its health by a feed of green caterpillars, we are happy to state that the chame leon captured on Snow-hill is in a fair way to conval escence.

An Autobiography. 2 Vols. Second Edition. Richard Bentley. We are not surprised to find this novel, so re cently published, already in a second edition. It bears about it the unmistakeable evidences of vitality, freshness, and vigour, and originality. There is no striving after effect from the first page to the last, it is written indeed currente colony), with a fulness of feeling and a fearlessness of utterance quite refresh ing to the wearied reader of common-place frivo lities. The story itself, very simple in its incidents, is on that theme of all others the most pathetic and the most popular—that theme which imparts a tenderer interest to the thrilling legend of Lam mermoor, and a sublimer pathos to the mournful ballad of Robin Gray. The tale is an auto biography ; it is related by the heroine. Nelly L'Estrange is the spoiled darling of the last worn-out head of an old, impoverished house —a very Castle Rackrent, as she calls it. Ex quisitely tender is the affection which unites the neglected, half-educated, spoiled little Nelly, and her old Dad, as she lovingly and unceremoniously designates him. A sad picture of the domestic trials incident to many a sinking household is pre sented in the early chapters of this book. Here is a mournful, life-like glimpse of NELLY'S FATHER. My father was in his old velvet arm chair, and was sitting, loaning forward with his head between his hands, in a pose sufficiently expressive. You did not need to' see his face to tell you that here was a man careworn and weary, on whom the sun of his life's afternoon was beating scorching hot, a man with whom life was going awry—awry 1 should think it was the old house was going down hill, and he did not like it ; the brambles had sprung up rankly, and wore choking the Lebanonian cedar. Bravo as the Spartan boy, ho kept the vitals gnawing fox hidden under his cloak, away from the eyes of the coldly prying world—a world often remarkably • curious in seeking out and putting its fingers through the tatters in its neighbour's coat—a world that would "poop and botanise on its mother's grave!" I gambolled up to him in a kid-like manner. " Well," said I cheerfully , " I suppose the tea is quito cold and you're quite cross, and lam to have a real good scolding, aren't I?" Then I stooped and kissed the whitened hairs. " Eh, what ?" said ho, thus suddenly called back from his joyless reverie; " indeed, Nell, I'd furgotton your very existence that minute." " What could have chased so pleasing an image from your mind's eye ?" said I, laughing. " What always chases every pleasing image," he an' swerod, gloomily. hills " Bills, I suppose," returned I, discontente dl y ; " bills, bills ! that's the song in this house from morning to night. Is there any word of one syllable in the English language that includes so many revolting ideas ?" "None except hell," said my father bitterly, " and I sometimes think they're synonymous." Very dismal are the surroundings of Eleanor's girl hood, but lightened from within at first by her intense affection for her father, and afterwards by the pre sence of another affection " coming up as a flower and filling her life with brightness and bloom. Speak ing of her happy emotions in those memorable days, the fair autobiographer, quoting from the canticle of Solomon, " For lo ! the winter is past ; the rain is over and gone; the flowers appear on the earth ; the time of the singing of birds is come exclaims, " It seems to me the exquisitest, joyfulest love song ever penned. It translates the spirit and essence of the spring into words. Spring out of doors, spring in my heart." Like pictures in a dissolving view, joys and sorrows succeed each other in the warm, impressionable heart of poor Nell), L'Estrange. At one time she exclaims, out of the fulness of bitter experience, Sighs are the gales that blow us to heaven, I sometimes think ; they breathe unconscious weariness of the here,' and longing for the ' there.'" It is as a result of this saw° chequered experience, we may suppose, that we find a somewhat contradictory opening to two chapters in the second volume. Chapter vi., which begins with the question " Am I wrong in thinking that memory is the cruellest gift ever vouchsafed to man ?" and chapter xiv., in which, commencing with an allusion to the facility of forgetting griefs, the narrator exclaims, " To me, it seems, that what points the sting of every grief is the thought that a time will come when we shall grieve no more. We have likened the story, in a certain degree, to , thz; ever-memorable ballad of " Auld Robin Gray. There is a scene towards the close of the narrative that recalls the painful " situation" of that heart rending ballad. It is where the two lovers (to ° late) meet and comprehend their misfortune s. " We say nothing for a while, only we look into each other's eyes with passionate, desperate long ing across the mighty chasm which yawns be tween us." The character of the two heroes , Major Macgregor and Sir Hugh Lancaster, are j>:; their different ways capital, and the old lather . also is most naturally depicted. We cannot s p eak so favourably of the treacherous Dolly, who, l et us hope, has no counterpart in - actual life. Novel readers may expect much from a writer so o ri g inal his thoughts, and so fearless in expressingd them, as is the author of this very clever an interesting tale.
