Messrs. John judgment is very much rarer on the Liberal side of the house. The Tory party has still something of the compact nature of ' an avalanche about it, which " moveth altogether, if it move at all." Th,, Tory " Cave," in spite of the spirit and weight of those who led it, was an utter failure ; Lord Cran borne was the leader of a band of only six. Almost, dl the rest stuck to their party and voted en masse. The advantage of having a mind, when your follOwers do not, as a rule, profess one, is evidently much greater than the advantage of having a mind when your followers do profess one, and this Mr. Disraeli now feels. But party reasons are not the only ones at the bottom of this remarkable ebb of Mr. Glad stone's tide and flow of Mr. Disraeli's tide sinse the crisis in the Ministry. To some extent we believe that personal causes in relation to the tone and tem per of - the house at large have limited Mr. Glad stone's influence over his own party, and lent Mr. Disraeli a sort of adventitious aid due to the strong contrast of moral and intellectual qualities in which he stands—in general very much to his own disad vantage—With his opponent. There is something strict aboht Mr. Gladstone, something of the " righteous and-devout" man who lives " in all good conscience beforos God," scrupulously serving the nation and his party, but never unscrupulous or au dacious, and prompt to rebuke the slightest levity, so far as he discerns it, in the political conversation of those around him. Indeed, he imparts moral scrupulosity and moral indignation of tone into his most purely political arguments. Instead of using the regular party arguments, instead of speak ing merely of mischief to the country, unfair partiality to this or that class, politic a disaster, and personal inconsistency, as connected with the course his opponents purste, Mr. Gladstone in sinuates, and ia nine cases out of ten not without sufficient reason, a shade of moral disgust into his manner, which, while in a Christian point of view it is often infinitely gentler than the regular party artillery, yet conveys a certain effect of moral cen sorship, and gives the impression of a holier politi cal nature than that of the House at large--which the House is apt to regard as a sort of hitting below the whist. Mr. Disraeli once spoke of Mr. Glad stone's official oratory as " the sanctimonious elo quence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer," and as it is certain that Mr. Gladstone's moral calibre has always been really higher and more scrupulous than that of the House of Commons, so it is certain that the House has always been sensitively alive to this difference, and conscious of the indications of this difference in Mr. Gladstone's .own tone and man ner. Members have something of the feeling to wards him which the Athenians had towards Aris tides the Just. Far from being really dictatorial, Mr. Gladstone has recently, in more cases than one, consulted the wishes of his folloWers too much ; but in spite of this, there has been about his speeches the dictation, • not of imperious will, but of ',scrupulous obedience to a more -.rigid code of distie&ioni, . stri_etiOt ; political piety, of more a cc u r ate observance . of the whole law of political righteousness. - This is what Mr. Disraeli alluded to when in the debate on the second reading of the - Reform Bill he accused Mr. Gladstone of putting him " to the question," familiarand add addressing, the ing him " with the tone and a i r o f a ;" adding, in order to complete the caricature, " that ready he had con gratulated himself on having a solid piece of furni ture between them." Now, no doubt, the strong apparent repulsion there is to this tone about Mr. Gladstone is due in large measure not to the self righteousness of the great Liberal statesman, but to the political unrighteousness of the present House -j of Commons,. whose virtue may fairly and truly be said, without theological explanations, to be rather of the nature of filthy rags. We could have no better example of the kind of manner in which Mr. Glad stone's sincere,—and only relatively rigid—political conscience has convicted the house of sin to its own great discomfort, than the debate on the motion for removing Mr. Churchward from the Commission of the Peace in Dover, when four Liberal members of the House of Commons were included within the terms of the proposed penalty by Mr. Bentinck's amendment. It will be remembered that in answer to a sardonic question from Mr. Bagge, at the begin ning of the discussion, as to whether the four gentle men convicted of bribery of four specified elections, were the gentlemen of those names now members of the House of Commons, Mr. Disraeli had replied, with reprobate jocularity, that nothing had struck hirs as so startling as the frequent cases of mistaken identity ; that the highly libefral tone of the gentle men in question in condemning anything like Tory corruption was prima facie evidence that they could not be the same persons, and that it would be well to have a select committee to inquire. Mr. Glad stone was naturally shocked at the leader of the house thus openly assuming a cynical air, and turn ing the corruptness of the country into a joke. He withstood Mr. Disraeli to his face ; and the house, who secretly felt.grateful to Mr. Disraeli for making light of their sins, fidgeted uneasily under the light but grave rebuke of Mr. Gladstone. "I do not sympathize," said Mr. Gladstone, with some solem nity, with the Chancellor of the Exchequer's prac tice in attempting to get - rid of these subjects as if . they were matters of great levity." And he re- peated afterwards, amidst a scene of great excite ment, that " this house should take care as to the impression it creates out of doors with regard to the seriousness of its intention of strik ing at - acts of bribery in high places." Now; the "seriousness" of the house's intentions on tbis.subject is of a very questionable kind in deed, and it is apt to feel uncomfortable when Mr. Gladstone or any other prophet reasons before it of " righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come." It feels just as Felix felt when Paul indulged in re marks on these unpleasant subjects—fidgetty—and that prophets are jarring to the nerves. It prefers secretly Mr. Disraeli's bold heathenism. THE "SATURDAY REVIEW" ON MR. GLADSTONE'S RECENT DOINGS.—ZWe must rook to Mr. Gladstone for an account of the present state of things. - And it will be found in his own remarkable character. In its littleness and greatness it is hardly appreciated. He is a man of th e c l ose t, no t of the fiei.J. Demosthenes did no t ma ke much of it with his harness on. Nothing could be better than the fine patriotie ideal which Mr. Glad stone prescribed to himself at the beginning of the session. Party and party tactics were to be laid aside ; on the common altar of the country all self seeking was to be abandoned. Everybody bad ample reason to bury the dead past ; it was on all sides a dreary retrospect of failures, inconsistencies, and vain professions. A vigilant but friendly cri ticism on details it was the duty of the Opposition to urge, but in a patriotic spirit. No ungenerous use was to be made of the weakness of the Govern ment. If Ministers could anyhow reconcile it to their own sense of personal honour to bring in and pass a Reform Bill, it was not for Reformers, who themselves had failed often enough, to hinder or taunt them. Even if Mr. Gladstone despised the worms, it was not magnanimous to trample on them. Brave words—pious sentiments—amiable resolutions. Only they were nothing more than words, sentiments, and resolutions. When it came to practice his good purposes, Mr. Gladstone found that his way of displaying these virtues was not quite what was expected of him or them. He did not mean to be obstructive, only vigilant ; and his notion of practical vigilance was to suspect every thing and condemn everything by anticipa tion. He did not intend to be other than con ciliatory; but he always took -care to announce that his notion of conciliation was that every body should do as he told them. He was quite ready to give and take, but he must do all the giv ing and taking himself. And, to do them only justice, the Ministry scarcely winced at even this indignity. Night after night Mr. Gladstone rose with his questions, his suggestions, his announce ments. his instructions, his nnimata, and the Trea sury Benchblandly smiled. It was not here that Mr. Gladstone failed. He got on well enough with the Government ; be was provoking, they were long suffering. It was :the Liberals whom he was alienating all the time. They could see well enough that their leader had pledged him self to a policy which he was intellectually, perhapl physically, incapable of carrying out. That policy was a policy of self-restraint, :and Mr. Gladstone is incapable of self-restraint. Silence is an impossibi lity to him; to watch and watt is physical torment to a spirit so excitable and energetic. If he cannot Bealesfidenc es a , take counsel with the gods , he must exchange con- And so . , carried away by a noble irretention of speech , for six or seven weeks Air.

But it told upon his own party more than on the Minis ters. Unable to appreciate the relations of time and occasion and persons, Mr. Gladstone showed himself equally lacking in the power to appreciate the relative importance of things.

It is as necessary to take your stand OD the tail of a rubric as on the creed itself. The thing which is for the instant before Mr. Gladstone its his f ° w n s t s h l e- ) e u q tu:tall'ireateths, races, f r b o l u r ) y e t. s l in i s o e e fx o c rt e ' a t. I l g sec accidentwt c io iat t ni ihstneehgeewhtl interests B,oe l. and d.Nerinht of this world and the to be increased by an additional half-hundred weight, we should all be chaos within sive minutes? Mr. Gladstone must guard against this; he must fence his position against this danger; it is a considerable danger, it is a possible danger, it is an extant dan ger, it is an existing danger, an imminent danger, it is a danger which is actually ready to crush us now this very moment. The more he looks at anything the more it rises, swells, expands, and stretches in size and grandeur. And so he is always vehement, al ways in a towering fit of e irnestness and vigour. He selects, as we have been rein ind ed, th e compound house holder. As soon asMr. Gladstone realised thee° rn pound' householder, all human destinies and duties centred themselves in the compound holseholder. On the compound householder he took his stand.. Here he would give battle. On this point he would hear of DO compromise; he just admitted the possible sin cerity of those who demurred to the stupendous mag nitude of the last notion which had suggested itself to Mr. Gladstone. With a mild and half-contemptuous scorn he could understand Mr. Locke and Mr. Clay ; but listen to them, no never. He had drawn up his instruction, and he must force . it down the craven throats of his and all human kind's enemies. Only in delivering the assault he fell on his back. And now Mr. Gladstone is at the other end of the pole. From the heights of dictation he is floundering in the bons of despair. He confides his sorrows to t h e Guildford Reform Association. Who Mr. Brooks may be, and of whom the Guildford Reform Asso ciation consists, Mr. Gladstone, we suppose, knows as little as we do. The only rural branch of the League that we happen to be acquainted with has a jobbing tailor for Secretary. Mr. Brooks of Guild ford is, we dare say, a very distinguished politician. Anyhow he is goo I enough and great enough for Mr. Gladstone to spend his Sunday letters upon. And Mr. Gladstone writes to Mr. Brooks in a ter ribly wounded and depressed spirit. He is all amort. He is like Hamlet ; he has the task of setting all wrong things right, and he finds out his own weak ness and impotence. He is hurt; he is downcast; he has suffered. One would think that . he was no reputation. He has piped, and the children have p g e o r in p g etu th al t s u i r l o n o T o e r . a p p ff i s e t , i s a . o n o d vr t h c o o fi n o d d e sm, smallas e n l d f o t o f not danced ; nay, even his friends have forsaken him. He can hardly promise anything ; he is net sure that he can do anything, say anything, undertake any thing. His faith in himself, which never yet de serted him, is shaking and trembling. He is ready, it would almost seem, to sacrifice that leadership which has only led his army to defeat. And all this the great leader of the great party confides to Mr. Brooks of Guildford. He who dictated to 240 a week aga; . and at least reduced them to silence, now pours his sorrows into the heart of Brooks of Guild ford. To a man in this frame of mind the Easter holidays must do good. Jaded, disappointed, ener vated, Mr. Gladstone is very sore, and unfortunately shows how very" sore he is. But let him take courage. There is plenty of work in him, and plenty of work to do. It only wants more temper and less talk, for the rest of the session. THE " WESTMINSTER GAZETTE " ON EMANUEL SWEDENBORG, THE VISIONARY OF EGYPT.—It is ex traordinary how much interest heresiarchs excite. The world makes heroes of them ; so does Mr. Carlyle. He glorifies Luther, and raises Knox-to the stars.. But Luther and Knox were sober men compared with Swedenborg. A wilder visionary never dreamed, and he has recorded his interviews with not fewer than sixty-seven personages in the spiritual world. Among them we find Popes, Em perors, Apostles, philosophers, and poets ; and, as a good deal of history is blended with Sweden- , borg's narrations, we may truly say that he relied on his memory for his dreams and on his imagination for his .facts. About five years ago, M. Matter, in an elaborate life of him, brought his works under a sort of transcendental criticism, which, being that of a French Protestant, was scarcely less vague than that of the. visionary whom he was criticizing. He looked upon Swed enborg as " the supernatural in the presence of the sceptic, the greatest reconciliation ever attempted between the natural and the supernatural, the ra tional and the marvellous." For ourselves, we look in vain in Swedenborg for any such harmoni ous adjustment, and we think it worse than vain to seek it elsewhere than in the Catholic Church. Mr. White , has given, in the volumes before us, a still more detailed account of the seer of Stockholm than M. Matter. The home of his boyhood, his first essays in authorship, his travels, his poems, fables; and scientific projects are all brought vividly before us. We see him ' appointed assessor of mines by the King of Sweden, engaged in engineering, and writing on tin-plate. We dip into his geological and chemical writings, and mark at every turn his rage for novelty, his daring speculation, and his tendency to build intellectual theories on a mate rial basis. He studies anatomy to discover the soul, and resolves to prove at the same time " that the soul is perfectly mechanical,"and that it is immortal." He visits Rome in 1739, - but is blind to the light of the Sacred .City, and ob tains no blessing from the venerable and aged Clement XII. Some years later, when his visions were in rapid progress, he was more fortunate than when he visited the Vatican. He saw Clement XII. (Corsini) in the other world. The Pontiff had for some time " presided over the Papists" there, but had " abdicated of his own accord, and passed over to the reformed Christians," among whom "he enjoyed a blessed life !" lie informed Swedenborg that the invocation of saints is vain and ridiculous, and that he had been very anxious to reform the Church during his popedom, but had found it impossible. The wise and devout Benedict XIV. (Lambertini) had not been dead three weeks before he honoured Swedenborg with an audience: He listened to him with great politeness while he discoursed on the New Jerusalem, but soon returned to the cavern, where he persisted in keeping company with cunning and malicious devils. He confessed that while on earth he held the Bible in con tempt, and thought his own speeches in the Con sistory very superior. He loved the Jesuits, and when they were shown to be devils he still clung to them. He met one day in hell the most cunning of all the Popes who had died before him, and, wishing to put his own craftiness to the test, found that they were equals. Sixtus V. (the famOus Felix Perretti) likewise favoured Swedenborg with many communications equally important. He assured him that the vicarship of the Popes was a human invention, and that, unlike Benedict XIV., he held the Scriptures to be divine and more holy than Papal edicts. St. Francis Xavier had become " quite idiotic " when Sweden borg met him in the world of spirits ; St. Ignatius Loyola was looking down with horror on his own followers, and, like all the other Catholic saints, was highly offended at being invoked. It is incon ceivable how such drivelling nonsense, such paltry and perverted imitation of Dante's poetic visions, could ever have been accepted by any men, or women either, as the voice of wisdom a nd in sysfrwateidoeno.borig,settruheisoboiry st og o r o a o p s h i er s in anewassures usthatdefini tion tion of the relations between the Creator and the creature," and that " his other world e x p eriences are . altogether' subsidiary to the illuttration of these . relations." That the poor man wa s demented there cannot be a doubt, and if we are to j ud g e - i by the New Jerusalem Magazine and the New Jer usalem Messenger, published respeCtively in Boston and New York, we must • pronounce the Same judgment on those who still honour him as the founder of theme. sect. Every one who has read Mohler's " Symbolism " knows what hiS doctrines were, and what view the " Pillar and Ground of the- Truth " takes of them. Ile maintained a Trinity of principles, not of persons ; that the Holy Spirit "is not a person separate from the Lord ;" and that Christ is in Himself the Di vine Trinity. He was constantly battling with the Lutherans on the one hand, and with Catho lics on the other. He consigned both to perdition if they adhered to their .standard. lie contended for justification by works and not by faith, but he accepted baptism and the Lord's Supps - r as signs only, devoid of any spiritual efficacy. In his " Apocalypsis Revelata ' (or "Revelation Re vealed "), and also in his " Vera Christiana Re ligio," he says, " With regard to Purgatory, I can aver that it is a pure Babylonish fiction, invented for the sake of gain, and that no such place does or can exist." In short, this crazy dreamer, in his accept ance and rejection of Catholic doctrine, appears to have been actuated by no fixed principle, and to have yielded his judgment .entirely to the guid ance of his fancy. His rhapsodies about the plan ets which he visited remind one of the Koran and the BOA of Mormon.. The only excuse we can • make for him is 'that he had never been instructed i the Catholic faith,' was a PQetarian, sprung EXTRACTS FROM REPORT. In the past three years the New Policies effected were— Reported in 1865, 1,650, amounting to £270,736; 1866, 2,073, £353,700; 1867, 2,845, £5C1,175.' Total Number, 6,568, amounting to £1,125,611. The New Annual Premiums of past year, £15,318. In the Four Triennial Periods the New Policies issued were- : -First Three Years, 3,196, for £507,06); Second Three Years, 2,926, for £494,066 ; Third Three Years, 3,941, for £629,547 ; Fourth Three. Years, 6,568, for £1,125,611. Total, 16,631, for £2,756,284. So that the New Business of the last Three Years has been greater than that of the preceding Six Years. The Policies in force this day are 11,637 in Number, amounting to £1,980,258. The Death Claims and Bonuses paid in the year under 67. polices amounted to £14,199. The amount paid for Death Claims, and Bonuses paid since the establishment of the Company, under 399 Policies, is £64,447. The ACCUMULATED FUND has been increased during the Year by no less than Twenty-eight Thousand Nine Hundred and Nino Pounds, making the amount laid by in the last three years, Sixty-five Thousand Nine Hundred and Seventy-Eight Pounds, and now amounts to One Hundred and Twenty-seven Thousand Nine Hundred and Seventy-eight Pounds Sterling . The Accumulated Fund has thus been nearly doubled at the end of each triennial period.

GLADSTONE AND u rk a notice tiea veryn firm ness ur MR. DISRAELL—Mr. Gladstone's great defeat this d n a y e xp e we c e t k e , dal; d y d i r s .

It is not merely that Mr. Disraeli has had the audacity to Propose, as a Conservative measure, a scheme of Reform promising to be, in the end at least, f ar wider than that which he denounced as democratic last session ; for had Mr. Gladstone advocated the same scheme by way of outbidding a really Con servative proposal of the present Government's, every one knows that he wouli k havebeen cond emned and abandoned by half his party, and scolded at from the other side of the House till the country would have really believed that be had done something wicked. Mr. Disraeli has met nothing like the difficulty in trampling under foot his party's principles, which Mr. Gladstone would have met with, even in an attempt to modify and enlarge the views of his patty. This may be due in some small degree to the nature of the two parties. Individual judgment and opinion are infinitely more active and discriminating among biberals than amongst the Conservatives. There are still a great many left of such old Tory squires as Mr. Kendall, the member for East Cornwall, who candidly admitted to the house that he had told his constituents how he was Utterly opposed to all Reform, but how, if the Go vernment, who knoyso much better than he could ado,•the state of .feeling in the country, decided upon 1 41! Reform Zll, they would find him certainly voting for it. This sort of -- utter renunciation of individual . PRICE.... 4d. STAMPED sd. from' a sect, and being a layman, he had not even that scanty measure of theological learning whiCh a SWedish pastor may "be supposed to possess. Never since the world began was there a man less fitted to guide the consciences of others. He carried the Protestant principle of private judg ment to its utmo4t extent, and affirmed his own fancies and visions as divine revelations. While he protested against Papal infallibility, he main tained Swedenborgian. He alone was appointed by heaven to explain the inner sense of Scripture, and he tossed about the moral commandments of the New Law as wildly as its articles of faith. Thus: he taught both by example and precept that chastity is not necessary, and certainly not to be expected in all cases. His praise of marriage rose no higher than thid, that it is better than un married contracts. He was never married himself, but there were two persons at least who at different times stood in the place of a wife to him. Mr. White does_ not hold with this part of his reli gious system, if system it can be called. lie ob jects to it very properly as involving thedegradation of womau, but Catholics repudiate it on higher arounds. As there are still many persons who, like Mr. White and M. Matter, in spite of SWedenborg's absurdities, try to invest him with the attributes of a Christian philosopher, it may be worth while to show to what extent his ignorance and fatuity sometimes reached. He pretended, or fancied, that he saw and conversed with Louis XIV. in the other world, "about 8 o'clock p.m., December 13th, 1759. His Majesty appeared descending by ladders (of the Jacob build, no doubt), and seemed ,to himself to be again at Versailles." He •was silent ifof halMilour—rather a long pause even for Louis Quatorze —and then, condescending to give utterance to his regal sentiments, declared " that he had spoken with the King of France (Louis XV), his grandson, concerning the Bull Unigenitus, advising him to desist from his former design, and not to accept it, because it was detri mental to the French nation." Now Louis XV. was not the grand-son of Louis XIV., but his great grandson. This is blunder the first. The Bull Uni genitus, which condemned the doctrines of Janse nius, was promulgated in Louis XlV.'s own reign. It was issued by Clement XI. in 1713 ; Louis XIV. died in 1715. It was published by the Holy Father at the request of the French bishops. Benedict XIII. confirmed it in Council in 1725, and issued another Bull called Pretiosus to explain the former document. Cardinal de Noailles, Arch bishop of Paris, gave currency to the Unigenitus in France (1725), The five propositions of Janse nius had been formally condemned by Innocent X. in 1653, and Alexander VII. renewed the condem nation in 1665. To this last act the French eccle siastics one and all adhered, and Louis XIV. allowed no one, under heavy penalties, to resist the adhesion. Thus the Bull, which, according to Swedenborg, Louis XV. was " advised" by his (great) grandfather " not to accept " in France, had been accepted there in fact ,during forty-six years, and in principle during a much longer pe riod. This is Swedenborg's blunder the second in one vision only, Mr. White may well say "he seems to be in a maze here." He was in a maze everywhere and at all times. History fares no better than theology in his hands, and his bio grapher allows that " he dealt with such matters as an amateur ; his theological reading was practi cally nil." Mr. White accepts his mission with some reserve. He believes, indeed, that Sweden borg " entered into acquaintance with angels, spirits, and devils, and that the Lord within vivi fied his new experience into wisdom," yet he, "by no means accepts all Swedenborg has to relate concerning the spiritual world as true." He has " no confidence whatever that any spirit he testi fies he saw was the real person." "He disliked David and he disliked Paul." "I do not," he says, " accuse him of any conscious humbug in these stories (about Elizabeth of Russia, Louis XIV., and our own George II.) ; I only adduce them to prove that he was liable to see what he wished to see." We cannot congratulate Mr. White on having added much to the stock of useful literature by the present volumes. That there are several dra matic and interesting passages in Swedenborg's career, we do not deny, nor that two or three of the phenomena which his history presents are curious, and deserve to be examined ; but we think it clear that lie led those Protestants who were deluded enough to follow him further away from the truth than they were before, and that his pretensions to be regarded as a prophet and a seer are worthy of no more serious answer than such as may be found in a copy of satirical verses. It is a pity that Canning and Frere did not take Swedenborg in hand, and do by him as they did by Darwin in their " Loves of the Triangles." It is but fair to say that Mr. White's composition is that of a man of cultivated mind, and that the passages which he places by the side of his extracts from Swedenborg are, in general, very apposite. The Volunteer Review at Dover. • The ground chosen for the scene of the mimic fight was the open space of Downs to the north and east of Dover Castle. At the top of the Castle Hill, the visitor will remember there stands a turnpike at the junction of the Deal and Guston roads, where they unite then to wind round the steep green glacis of the Castle by the Castle-hill road down into the town. The Deal road turns, by this turnpike, sharply round to the eastward, across Downs culti vated like a garden, but with this favourable feature for the purposes of the review, that there are no hedgerows to interfere with the movement of the troops. At the Castle the space between the Deal road and the edge of the cliffs is not more than a quarter of a mile ; but as the coast line trends to the southward of east, and the road to the northward of the same cardinal point, the area gradually enlarges, until, at a distance of a mile and a half from the Castle, where a cross road runs from Guston to the edge of the cliff, the distance from the Deal road to the sea is considerably over a mile. In the triangu lar space contained within these boundaries of the coast line, the Deal road and the cross road to Gus ton is a ravine, or rather a steep valley, running from the Deal road in the direction of the cliffs, and there is a shallower valley parallel nearer to the Castle. Down nearly in the lowest part of the deeper of these valleys is a farm and outbuildings, called Broad Lees Farm. This farm-house was the very centre of the force in the first position occupied before the action began. As the head of the column passed the saluting base, it proceeded at once to the ' position allotted to it. The plan of manoeuvres sup ' posed an invading force to have landed under the guns of their fleet at the favourable position between Deal and Waliner, and to have advanced, covered on their left by the fleet along the Deal road and the intervening land, for the purpose of securing Dover as a base of communication for their army. The garrison of Dover, however, has been sufficiently reinforced to justify them in sallying forth, under cover of the guns of the fortress, to give battle to the invading enemy. The spot chosen for the purpose was along the brow of the ridge in rear of Broad Lees Farm, the left crossing the Deal road, and extending in front of the new Castle Hill fort; the right stretching far away nearly to the edge of the cliff. The defenders were strongly posted, with the 4th brigade of field batteries in line on their left, commanding the Deal road, and entirely blocking up all access in that direction. The troops composing the first line of the defenders, consisting of the 3d division of infan try, deployed with skirmishers in front ; the 4th division of infantry being in reserve, with the whole force of cavalry and the 3d brigade of field batteries, near the right wing of the deployed infantry, ready to be brought into play immediately on any emer gency. The enemy's position was along the opposite ridge parallel to that of the defenders, and facing towards Dover, the Ist division, deployed with skirmishers, covering the front ; the flanks strongly guarded on the right by the two field batteries of Royal Artil lery, and the left by the volunteer field batteries. In this position the contending forces remained, the only change being that the deployed line of the de fenders advanced down the hill nearly to the Farm House, while the line of skir mishers came forwar,, some distance up the opposite slope tomeet the skir misfiers. For a few minutes matters continued thus in grim suspense, the opposing forces watching each other across .the two lines of skirmishers separated by not more than 800. yards.

The promptly maintained between them. enemy's field batteries, on this extreme right, took up the war. like theme, and soon the sharp r eport breech-loading Armstrong of the Roy al A rtillere of the intermingled with the r a ttl e o f the ;kirmshers. The field batteries of the defend ers on the i r left were speedily unlimbered and brought action, into • on, and for a time a deadly duel of artill • (a• y raged to the north of the Deal road. Perceiving signs of waver ing on the part of the enemy the defenders' skir. rnishers on their left pressed on in advance, firing as they moved, and making a ca pit a l position and. dressing. The line in their rear confor m ed to the movement, and swept forward in the direction of the enemy's left. The corps engaged deserve credit for the excellent way in which they advanced over the rough ploud land without losing their for. mation. While this was in progress a movement took place unnoticed by the enemy which was destined to have a marked influence on the future fortunes of the fight. The second brigade of the fourth division, covered by the advance of the skirmishers and the line, took ground. to the right towards the sea, and lay hidden from the enemy beneath a projecting wing of the ridge on which he himself as posted. Meanwhile the reserve of the defenders moved also to the right towards the sea to support the operation that was in progress. To cover their change of position from the enemy, the field artillery pcsted on the left wing of the defenders opened fire against the deployed line of the enemy. The skirmishers of the invaders, pressed by their opponents, yielded ground slowly, firing as they went. At the same time the guns of the Castle opened, and being replied to by the guns of the enemy's left wing, the artillery fight at either end the line became general. As gun after gun followed each other in rapid succession, the smoke borne before the strong westerly wind swept in dense masses over the valley, obscuring fora time the position of the attacking forces. As the fleecy cloud lifted, the skirmishers of the enemy, on the signal of a bugle from within their lines, closed to the wings of battalions, and retired at the double, reforming as they reached the rear of their advanced line. Brought thus face to face with an overwhelming force of their opponents, the skirmishers of the defence followed the example that had been set them, and retired at the double to the shelter of their own line. Shattered by the steady file fire, they retreated in some disorder, but soon were reformed as they reached the welcome shelter. Now came the tug of war between the two lines. Both corn. menced file firing from the right of companies, and admirably on both sides was the fusilade maintained. The example first set on the right of the defenders was speedily followed all along the lines, and the action became general. The whole of the heavy guns on the eastern ramparts of the castle joined in the battle, which soon waxed fast and furious. At the same time it became evident that the object of the defenders was to press the invading army most severely on his extreme left. For this purpose bat teries of field artillery in reserve dashed to the front, and were brought into action to crush the exposed brigade on his left. While these were firing grape from the extreme right of the defenders' position, their line advanced in echellon of brigades from the right to close with the enemy. Here the battle became fierce and obstinate. Three times the right of the defenders essayed to drive the op posing line of the enemy from their post of vantage. At each fresh attack the enemy's line was strengthened by fresh battalions and field batteries hurriedly brought to the front. Before this continually accu mulating force the right wing of the defence finally recoiled, shattered and disheartened. There was nothing, however, disorderly in their retreat. Though unable to make head against the withering fire by which they were assailed, they scorned to yield the enemy any greater triumph: than to retire by fours from the right of companies, not covered even by such poor shelter as a line of skirmishers would have given. This retreat for a time caused a lull on the left of the defence ; but the action knew no cessation on the other extremity of the line. There the artillery duel raged with redoubled fury, and was very creditably supported by the in fantry on both sides. As the echellon of the defenders retired the brigades in reserve deployed and ad vanced down the hill in splendid style to their sup port, wheeling back sections to allow them to retire. The discomfited but far from disgraced first line reached the rear, and immediately reformed their shattered ranks. The reserve, which had now become the first line of the defence, advanced as if on parade against the position of the enemy to avenge the de feat inflicted on their comrades. They were soon engaged, and again a tremendous file fire played along the entire length of the opposing lines. While this second fight was raging, the quick reports of heavy artillery out at sea told that the fleet of the men enemy had come into action. T he squadron of of the of-war had been hugging the shore in support enemy's troops, and now , on rounding a little def head land, came in full v iew of the brigade of th e en ders, which had been d etached from the main body to turn the left flan k of their forces. Eve r y ship at once cpcned fire on the advancing brigades, and their continuous broadsides, replied to promptly by the sea face of the castle, the citadel, and the Guild ford battery, sounded like the continuous pealing of a heavy thunder storm. The fire of the shipping failed to stop the advancing brigade of the defen ders. Seeing this the fleet turned its attention ex clusively to the fortifications, steaming in circles and delivering a broadside at each turn. The for tifications, manned mainly by volunteers, replied with admirable effect, and the battle by sea and land raged simultaneously. The reserve line of the defenders bad been for some time fiercely engaging the enemy, when the critical movement in the battle occurred. Undeterred by the fire of the fleet the detached second brigade of the fourth division made its way resolutely along the edge of the cliff, supported by batteries of field artillery. Mounting the steep hill that concealed them from the enemy, they deployed, and suddenly appeared overlapping and partially surrounding his left wing. The sup porting field batteries at,once unlimbered and opened. at the same time that the brigade commenced file firing. Being already severely pressed in front, this fresh attempt was too much for the enemy. Immediate preparations were made for the retreat. Communication had been effectually cut off with the fleet, and to stay longer would have been to be mowed down by an enfilading fire of ar tillery and infantry. The engaged line of the in vaders, therefore, at once wheeled in column, moved up their reserves who deployed and en glo•ed the victorious defenders, and the n retreated ,s rapidly, but in good order, in oblique echellon of battalions from their left, in the direction of the Deal-road.
