Naval and Military Intelligence. By the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Ava, Captain Field, which arrived at Southampton on Sunday night with the heavy portion of the India and Mediterranean mails, we receive the following items of naval and military intelligence from Gibraltar :—Her Majesty's steamer Chasseur, fitted as a floating work shop for the Black Sea fleet, sailed from Gibraltar for _ _ Balaklava on the 6th inst. The British steamer Ante lope, laden with shot and shell, and the steam transport East Anglian, left for the Crimea on the Bth inst. Her Majesty's steam floating - battery Meteor,. having com pleted the alteration of her rudder, sailed in company with the paddle-wheel transport Rhadamanthus for the Black Sea on the 10th. The British paddle-wheel steam transport Europa, with detachnients of the 55th, 68th, and 89th Regiments, from Liverpool for the Crimea, passed Gibraltar on the morning of the 9th inst. The two companies of the 94th Regiment, under the orders of Capt. Bruce, landed at the new Mole on the 10th inst. from on board the Great Britain transport, and, after forming into line, marched down to the quarters assigned them at the Grand Casemated Barracks, preceded by the band of the 3d Royal Lancashire Militia. Two hours after the Great Britain left the harbour for Malta and the Crimea, with the remainder of her gallant freight (detachments of cavalry and infantry), amid great cheer ing by their brethren in arms, and the sailors on board the ships of war and transports lying at anchor off the Mole. At sunset her Majesty's screw steam guardship HOratio, Capt. the Hon. A. A. Cochrane, and the float in battery Glatton, Capt. Cumming, weighed anchor to proceed to their destination, when, just as the vessels moved onwards, the whole of the men of the head-quar ters 94th Regiment .on board the Perseverance steam troopship turned up on deck, and saluted them on their departure with three hearty cheers, the band playing " God save the Queen immediately after. This corn .plimental act was duly acknowledged in gallant style by • the tare on board the Horatio and Glatton. The Madagascar steamer left Gibraltar for the East 'on the 12th inst., having shipped 60 horses and mules for the use of the Land Transport Corps. Two foremen, a farrier, and 20 grooms embarked in charge of the ani mals. The sailing transport -ship William Jackson, with invalids from various regiments in the East, left for Portsmouth on the 14th inst., in tow of the steam-ship Bustler. Capt. Christie's company of Royal Artillery were under orders to embark for the Crimea on board the Sanspareil line-of-battle-ship, expected from Ports mouth. The steam-transport Lady Eglinton arrived on the 13th inst, from the Crimea and Malta on her way to England, having on board Miss Scott and servant, Miss Gibbs, Miss Pearson, Miss Haulyside, Lieut. Sidebottorn, ,Buffs ; Dr. Maund, Medical Staff ; Mr. Atherton, Sergt.. Vallaney, - and three other non-commissioned officers of the Royal Artillery, four women (soldiers' wives), and 10 children. Dr. Pain, of the Royal Artillery, returned by this cocveyance, and proceeded on the 29th ult. in .medical charge of the 92d Highlanders. The captain of the Lady Eglinton reports that, on the 4th inst., the British steam-transport Sovereign was aground in the Dardanelles off Abydos, and that he for two hours ren dered assistance to get her afloat, but unfortunately could not succeed. She was laden with shot and shell for Balaklava, and would have to be lightened to get her afloat again. The Lady Eglinton, after taking in coals, left for„her destination. The steam-transport Volunteer left for Spithead on the 13th inst. The Bremen steamer Germania arrived at Gibraltar from Woolwich, for tie Crimea, on the 14th, with shot, shells, &c. The steamer Hansa arrived at Gibraltar from Malta on the 17th inst., bringing MajorHoste, R.A., Capt. G. Morley, 20th Foot Lieut. Franks, 38th, Lieut. Gamier, 47th, Lieut. Alcock, 25th, Capt. W._ Mayne, Land Transport .Corps, Lieut. W. Liddell, RN., Assist,-Engineer R. Henderson, Ser jeant Bell, R.A., 20 invalided sailors of tbe.Royal Navy and two drivers for Spithead, and one muleteer for Gib raltar. The Hansa, after taking in a supply of watt r and some I:es's provisions, proceeded to her destination. The Steam-ship Emu, Captain Small, and the sailing transport Great Tasmania, Captain Brewer, from Ports mouth, arrived at Plymouth on Monday morning. The Emu will embark the Land Transport Corps forthe Blank .Sea,,,and the Great Tasmania will convey the West Mid dlesex Militia to Corfu. The regiment, under command of 001. John Glossop,' was inspected yesterday (Monday) on Mount Wise, Devonport, ley Major-General Eden, Commander of the Forces in the West of England. -- The steam.vessel Avon, from Woolwich, arrived at Plymouth on Saturday, asd went into the docks at Key ham, with machinery for the Satellite, 20,. which is to be launched on Wednesday and taken to Seyham to be fitted, preparatory to being commissioned forthwith. The mail-pachet Candace, Commander Hawkesley, is appointed to leave Plymouth this afternoon for Madeira and the West Coast of Africa. The transports Gibraltar and Prompt sailed on Sa turday from Woolwich with huts and a mixed cargo of military stores for the Crimea. The Northumberland left yesterday morning for the same destination. Her Majesty's paddle-wheel steamer Princess Alice, 270 tons burden, tender to the flag-ship Duke of Wel lington, arrived at Woolwich from the Baltic on Satur day, and went down the river on trial yesterday. She is immediately to he taken into basin and paid-off. The Admiralty yacht Black E-igle arrived at Woo' with on Saturday from Portsmouth, and was ordered alongside the Messenger coal depot to coal. : A. most interesting proof of four experimental guns cf various kinds and sizes bas taken place at the Butt, in the Royal Arsenal, at Woolwich. Two of these grins were invented by Capt. Blakely, Royal Artillery. The novelty consisted in the application of wrought-iron rings to strengthen the cast-iron, and enable it to sus tain the explosion of the gunpowder. In the larger of these 2 guns (an 18-pounder) the rings were shrunk on a hollow cylinder of cast iron, and a separate breech was fixed on, and retained in its place by four wrought-iron bars, which connected it with a large ring about the centre of the gun. This gun burst at the first discharge, shattering the block of wood with which for safety it bad been surrounded to some distance. The other gun (an ordinary nine-pounder), strengthened with these rings frOm the trunnions to breech, stood the proof well ; as did also a 12-pounder wrought-iron gun, made by Messrs. Holroyd and Co. The fourth gun was a six-pounder, and of cast steel. That, also, burst in the first round, and the breech was driven with great violence into a model of a ship's side which had been erected in rear of it. The follo.wing appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Commanders W. C. Forsyth and I. F. • C. Mackenze to be Inspecting Commanders of the Coast Guard ; the Rev. Henry E. Yeoman to be Chaplain of the Harpy, fur service in Therapia Hospital ; J. F. Ryan, Seconci•Maste r to the Caradoc ; A. J. A.

The following is an extract from a letter written by an officer of this ship : "Officers' Tent, Courtown Bank, Aug. 18. " The cruise of the Wolverine has been brought to a sudden termination. She struck on a reef of rocks called the Courtown Bank, about 160 miles east by north of Greytown, at 10.20 p.m., on the 11th inst., and is a total wreck. Thank God, all hands were savd without a single accident, although for eight hours it looked very unpromising. From, the time we struck until 6 o'clock the next morning we were anxiously waiting for daylight, the ship nearly on her beam-ends striking heavily at in tervals, the sea making a clear breach over her and wet ting every one through and through. Even at daylight it did not look very cheerful. There was a small island, not half a mile in length, about half a mile on our lee beam, covered with sea birds, and a dark mass of coral rocks on all sides. However, sailors very soon get aver -diffioulties. We first got our largest boat safely landed with the sick men and some water and pork, so that we should have some means of sending to Greytown, and then landed the whole crew by degrees, with materials for tent., which we soon erected. We are now living in comparative luxury, having saved most of our provisions, stock, wine, &c. The greatest losers by this affair are those whose cabins were on the side the vessel struck, as they immediately filled with water, and everything was spoiled or immersed. The large boat having been sent off as soon as possible, fell in with the Buzzard steam-vessel, which we were going to relieve, at Greytown, on the point of starting for Port Royal, being short of provisions. She started immediately cn receipt ot the intelligence, and arrived here this morning. She leaves immediately for Port Royal to get provisions, and our crew remain here to save the stores, &c., out ot the wreck, a large portion of which we have already rescued. We are well off for provisions and water... . As soon as the Buzzard returns we shall have saved all the valuable stores, &c., and shall then return in her to Port Royal for the court-martial. . . . We are all in excellent health and spirits. " P.S. Please publish the account of the loss of the Wolverine, and add that all were saved, as some of the crew have not been.able to write, and their friends will naturally be very anxious on their account." THE SUN, LONLION,_ TUE S .DAY EvENTI•SEI., SEPTEMBER 25 1855 WROUGHT V. CAST IRON GUNS. The failure of wrought-iron guns of large calibre, says Mr. J. Blackburn, of Erewash-valley, although much to be regretted, is not surprising to practical men. The Government of the United States of America, after the lame❑table and fatal accident which occurred some years since from the bursting of a wrought-iron gun of large calibre on board the Princeton frigate, instituted a vigorous inquiry, conducted by gentlemen of great ex perience and science in New York, when it was by them for ever decided that wrought-iron guns of large calibre were "unworthy and dangerous." A report of these investigations was published in this country soon afterwards, and• must have been seen by many of your mechanical readers. There is, after all, no doubt but that cast iron is the true material for large guns subject to mighty concussions, simply from the fact of the great facility of securing a sound gun, with only ordinary care in the process of moulding and from the uniform crys talisation of the iron ; this great desideratum cannot he obtained in such very heavy masses of iron as are neces sary for the wrought-iron guns of large calibre, on ac count of the great length of time they must necessarily be under the action of the fire, for it is an ascertained fact that wrought iron during this process, when in large masses, undergoes what is termed a molecular change by being kept so long in an incandescent and soft state. The cohesive tenacity of wrought over cast, iron is about as 3 to 1, but from the cause assigned it cannot be estimated fairly at more than as 2is to one, • if so much. The vast expense necessarily incurred in the production of these wrought-iron guns of large calibre gill, I am convinced, be fatal to their permanent introduction and use, even should they ever succeed to the utmost wish of their most sanguine advocates ; at a moderate calculation 10 cast-iron mortars of 13in. calibre can be made for the cost of one wrought-iron of the same dimensions. Taking then, the data that 600 rounds fired will render an or dinary 13iu. cast-iron mortar hers de combat, 1,200 rounds or less would place the wrought-iron gun in the like situation, while the cost has been in all probability five times the cost of the two cast-iron rnr,rtars. Many persons advocate the general adoption of a wrought-iron gun on account of the supposed durability and the op portunity they present of reducing the weight. This, however, is a known error; a light gun of the same calibre as a heavy one cannot throw a shot or shell by any means so far. The failure of our mortars used this season in 4,11 e Baltic is much to be deplored, but bad there been duplicates on board the ships of war which could have been stowed as kentledge, and exchanged when required, a more terrible blow might have been inflicted upon our enemies. The question then arises—. Can anything be done to make the cast metal guns and mortars of large calibre, subject to mighty concussions, of greater cohesive tenacity, and thereby more capable of sustaining the tremendous expansive power of a heavy charge of gunpowder? I answer decidedly yes, and at a merly nominal increase of expense. This process was fully explained to the Government of this country in 1850. IRON MASTS AND YARDS. The Paris Exhibition has proved that in the mecha nical arts where iron is the material of use, we distance all exhibitors. Our machinery is better finished, the display is of greater variety, there is an evidence of more extensive ingenuity, and in all articles °firer', whe ther for the mill, the workshop, agricultural purposes, or ornament, we stand preeminent. But there is one matter in which England is not represented in the Paris Exhibition, a matter which deserves, from its, great im portance to commerce, a place in the British collection ; we mean the uses to which iron is applied in the build ing of ships, and in the manufacture of ships' spars. Iron is now becoming so extensively used in the British marine that the wants to which it is adapted in a com mercial sense might have held an honourable place in our display. We have been led to make these remarks through having had our attention directed to an iron yard in course of construction by Messrs. Cato, Miller, and Co., and we think the application of iron to masts and yards, being cheaper and more durable than wood, sufficiently interesting and novel to have been illustrated at the Paris Exhibition. The yard in question is of the following dimensions : Length . 112 feet. Diameter at slings 2 feet 4 inches. Do. at yard arms 1 foot 2 inches. 4This main yard, the largest ever made, and weighing from seven to eight tons, is being manufactured for the new ship Schomberg, belonging to'Messrs. James Baines and Co.'s Black Ball line of Australian clippers, under the patent of the inventor, Mr. J. Clare. A wooden yard of the same size would weigh from 11 to 12 tons, and when we take into account the difference between the iron and wood yard (the former is hollow of course) we think it of sufficient importance to the shipping interest to direct especial attentioh to this in vention. The weight of spars is a consideration in the outfit of- a vessel, and when a material can be found lighter than wood, and that material cheaper, we should. think it would be to the interest of shipowners to coun tenance the substitute. The workmanship of the main yard of the Schomberg is beautiful, and a view of it repay the di s t ance .— Li verpool Telegraph, Sept. would well o CHURCH RATES AT TAUNTON. We had one of the most exciting church rate contests here last week that we ever remember. It arose re specting St. lilary's tower, about the repair or restora tion of which we are almost tired of waiting, if our read ers are not of reading. A vestry meeting was held on Thursday, . when it was proposed, on behalf of the churchwardens, that 2,0001. should be raised on secu rity of the rates, in addition' to 1,000/. which the parish bad previously agreed to grant, in order to restore the tower. Many of the inhabitants think that the tower 'has been tampered with, and that if it had not- been pulled about in the manner it has, since some busy bodies suddenly diseovered it to be in a dangerous state, it would have stood another century with but little out lay an it. Others say that the parish has been misled and deceived by Mr. Giles, the architect of the work, in the opinions which he has given from time to time respecting it. Other persons oppose &lurch rates for whatever purpose they are proposed, on principle, and the resolutiOn of the churchwardens also met with oppo nents in those who considered the subject in a financial point of view more particularly. With these varied objec tions, it is not to be surprised at that the vestry (which was numerously attended and was held in -the Assize Hall) should reject the churchwardens' proposition by. a _large majority. The churchwardens determined to perse vere, and demanded a poll,. which commenced at once, and finally closed at four o'clock' on Friday afternoon., when the mamber of persons who 'had voted was stated as f?llows the. churchwardens' resolution, 392 ; against, re 402 : ma j or it y aga i nst, 10. -This- was not of c e accepted as conclusive, as a scrutiny dto be made, and th e votes of different persons, who were ereen: titled to give more than one vote eniimerated: This was done on Monday, and an Tuesday morninn. the R ir If.

Another weekly Bank return, showing a further dimi nution of 518,9211. in the coin and bullion, and a fresh increase of 755,5571. in the private securities, has tended to maintain the feeling of caution lately enforced in the monetary world. At the same time there is an entire absence of any tendency towards panic, and money is rather more readily obtainable in the discount market, owing to the disposition of monied men to eschew rash action and to feel their way carefully through the un usual obscurity in which the future of the money market is at present involved. ' As no one is disposed to feel over-confident, and as the rates at present allowed for money "at call"—viz., 3i to n per cent.---are higher than can be obtained from Consols or Exchequer-bills, capi tails morefreely deposited in Lombard-street, and the cur rent supply in the market proportionately increased. The market, it appears to us, is at present virtually in a state of suspense, and at this moment ail reliable satistics bear ing on the subject are of peculiar value. We make no apology, therefore, for presenting our readers with the subjoined figures, which represent, with as much pre tension to accuracy as ca n be attained in the absence of reliable Government returns, the imports of the precious metals into this kingdom since, the beginning of June. We confine our present abstract to these weeks, because, although the period is comparatively limited, it is in this interval that the phenomena of the Money Market now attracting such earnest attention have become rapidly developed BULLION IMPORTS.

This is exclusive of large arrivals of silver from the continent, the extent of which cannot be subjected to accurate estimate. The Bank of England return for the week ending the 2d of June, stated the amount of coia and bullion held by that establishment at 17,789,1021. In the return last issued, for the week •ndrng the 15th inst., it was only 13,698,4551, It would almost be fair to infer that the whole of the difference-4,090,647/.—in addition to the above ar rivals, making a grand total of no less than 12,741,6171, has been sent abroad. 'lndeed we know that during the period above referred to, the exports to Alexandria, India, and China alone absorbed 2,936,0001., whilst the present demand for that quarter is at the rate of up wards of a million per month. These heavy figures carry their own instruction with them, and warn us to caution. Turning to the certain future demands upon the mar ket, it will be seen that the prospect is not a peculiarly favourable one. The known requirements for Govern. meat purposes are shown below : BRITISH LOAN OF 16,C00,000/. . . - Oct. 16, instalment of 10 per cent. Nov. 20 II 10 per cent. Dec. 15 tt 10 per cent. Total on British loan TURKISH LOAN OF 5,000,00 a. Oct. 20, instalment of 20 per cent. Nov. 23 „ 15 p er cen t. Dec. 14 „ 15 p er cent 'Jan. 1 f t 10 per cent. .. Jan. 25 „ 12g per cent 631,250 Total on Turkish loan £3,631,250 Grand total on British and Turkish loans £8,431,250 Of the probable demands upon our Money Market in respect of the French loan of 31,200,0001. no accurate estimate can be formed, in the absence of information as to the amount of the scrip retained by English holders. One•tenth of this loan, or 3,120,000/ a was paid up on subscribing, and the rest of the amount is to be liqui dated by eighteen equal instalments, each of 1,560,000/. The first of these was paid on the 7th inst., and conse quently seventeen snore remain to be met, representing a total of 26,520,000/. The dates fixed are the 7th of each month, terminating with the 7th Feb., 1857. Bearing in mind that the commencement of the new year will doubtless witness the announcement of a British Govern ment loan exceeding in amount the last of 16,000,0001., and that a large portion of this will be disposed of in the comparatively unproductive form of war expenditure abroad, the same lesson of caution is again conveyed. • The extraordinary opinions upon this important sub ject, to which the City correspondent of the Times gives expression, continue to excite considerable attention and no small surprise. This writer furnished sufficient evi dence of his shortsightedness and incapacity to discern the real nature of the influences in operation upon the money market by his emphatic assertion, made on the first rise in tee rate of discount, that there was "reason to rely"'that no additional advance would be needed, and that no further disturbance of the money market would take place. The signal falsification of this gra tuitous prediction it might have been expected would have induced more moderation of tone and caution of expression on his part. This anticipation, however, is completely disappointed. In the Times of last Friday we read as follows : " Since the first advance in the rate, a fortnight back, not only has the expectation of large receipts from Australia been disappointed, but a sudden, and, as the tendency to reaction has since shown, a rather unwarrantable rise in the corn market has been witnessed, which has stimulated the transmission of about 4U0,0001. to the Danube and elsewhere for the purchase of wheat, and which will also have the effect, when the news reaches New York, of hastening the substitut:on of flour for gold in the future iiipments from America.' Probably few other writers would ha dogmatic enough hastily to stigmatise the rise in the coin market as " un warranted." Though sweeping assertions of this nature find favour with the Times, the appearance of that mar ket and of the crops in Western Europe might perhaps lead cautious men to derive hope rather than otherwise from the prospect thus afforded of supplies of grain from the East. Passing this by, however, we request atten tion to the progress of the Times' argument : "As the amount overdue from Australia is at least 800,000/., we have here a total of 1,20J,000/., which, but for peculiar and improbable events, would be at this mo ment in the Bank coffers, and which would have brought their stock of bullion to a point in excess of the average of the past year. A no th er o f i ts effects also would have been to have prevented the idea of a scarcity of money getting to that height which in itself begets scarcity." We hope the subtlety of this latter remark will be duly appreciated, but we fear that by many persons it will be pronounced almost unintelligible. The final con clusion arrived at by our contemporary is that " there is full reason to believe that the (Bank) movements lately witnessed, notwithstanding their intensity, are of an ex ceptional, and in many respects of a purely accidental character." The whole tenuur of of the writer's remarks is evidently directed to prove that the present pressure in the money market is a species of accident, mainly occasioned by the want of this unhappy 1,200,0001. Fortune and the winds appear really to have been most favourably disposed towards the Times, for they did not permit the week to close without realising its utmost wish. On Saturday was notified the arrival, singularly enough, of .gold to this identical amount of 800,0001., and the other spe c i e arr i va l s o f t he week re presenteupwards of 400,0001. We may hope that these seasonable supplies will afford relief to the market, and. check the drain of gold from the Bank ; but, inasmuch as they fully make up the lamented sum to the absence of which our contemporary attributes all the aftiety of the last fortnigt, ought we not, according to his argu ment, to consider our trial altogether at an end, and to expect the Bank immediately to retrace its steps Seriously, does any thinking man in the kingdom view the case in thin narrow light? and does not the evi dent absurdity of the idea furnish sufficient illustra tion of the fallacy and shortsightedness of our con temporary's argument ? At a time when our mercarks tile' men are anxiously watching the drain of gold.for war purposes, for our foreign supplies of grain, and for the purchase of heavy remittances to India —are earnestly discussing the great question of the corn supplies of Western Europe, and are even reminding one another in grave discussion that our present currency syitem has never ye; experienced the ordeal of war, is not the almost insulting the understandin g of its readers in step ping forward so compl acent l y and jauntily to assure them, out of its peculiar stores of knowledge, that our present strait is a mere " accident ?" We cannot help expressing our sincere gratification at the sound, semi hie, and cautious attitude maintained at the present cri tical period by the commercial community, who evi dently take a much truer view of the position of the country than does the Times. Our misgivings that grave mischief might result from the language of that journal are thus allayed. It is worthy of remark that the influences in opera tion in France are in many respects analogous to those prevailing litre. In that comitry, too, a heavy foreign War expenditure, and the necessity of making extensive ptirehases of foreign 'grain, are stimulating the efflux of gold; .Does the Times then think that the movement observable in France is also of an "exceptional and purely accidental character ?" In another portion of the article above referred to, our contemporary announced : " The 'Bank of France to;day have increasei their rate of dig count from 4 per cent. at which it had stood from May, .1854, to 5 per cent." It so happens that the' Times was wrong in this poSitive announcement, the step in ques tion not having been adopted by the Bank 'of Vranes ' The writer proceeded to observe, however : "The im- mediate effect of the increase of discount will be towards a revival of the demand fin. dold from this side, and it will therefore operate as a direct inducement fur the Bank of England. to raise their rate t, a similar amount." Does not the Thri,s here contradict itself, and prove that the position of affairs in England is not "purely acci : . dental," but the result of a combination of circumstances, the origin and operation of 7, l 7ich are deserving of the most Attentive fairly r - . THE PROPOSED ROAD ACROSS ST. JAMES XPARK. The following .letters on this subject have been ad dressed to the editor of the Times : Sir,—l have read with some surprise a letter from Sir B. Hall, dated Llanover ' Sept. 18th, upon this su bj ec t, and as I do not at all concur with the facts that the right hon. gentleman has laid down in that letter, I will, with your permission, point out the fallacies of a state ment apparently plausible, but actually only calculated to mislead the public, to destroy the landscape garden ing of St. James's-park, and, under the shallow pretence of doing the public a service, to inflict upon them a per manent injury. Now, Sir, if a person be really desirous of forming a correct judgment upon this proposed route, let him take up a map of London, and, always bearing in mind that the intention of this new proposed route is to' construct a public road for cabs and light traffic, not for omnibuses and heavy traffic, let him compare the outlying districts to be benefitted according to Sir •B. Hall's plan, and those which would be benefitted by a road through Buckingham-gate. First, then, let me deal with the line proposed by, Sir B. Hall. The right hon. gentleman says that his pro posed road would benefit the populous district of Laiii beth, and the populous district lying between the Vaux hall-bridge-road and the Thames. The populous dis test of Lambeth " sounds well, and would be admirable in practice, too, were it not that the Lambethianiwould have 'to cross Westminster-bridge to come over the water : and, when on this side of the water, it would be jitst as convenient for them to go up Whitehall, and upon arriving at King Charles's statue to strike off east and west, as it would be to take the proposed new road ; and as regards the populous district lying between the Vauxhall-bridge-road and the Thames, the other portion of the population to be benefitted by the new road, why, sir, they are not the class of people who make ude of cabs at all, and if they did not use their legs they would adopt the cheaper form of omnibuses ; and this is not to be an omnibus route at all. Now, as regards Belgravia, Pimlico, and Chelsea dis tricts which would be benefitted by a di rec t roa d, a t a fair distance from the Palace, from St. James's-st ree t, by Marlborough-home and through Buckingham gate— which Sir B. Hall is pleased to call a comparatively small portion of the population of the metropolis,—why, even if they are so in actual numbers, is not the popula tion here of that portion of the public who make use of cabs, and. are they not constantly obliged, from notions of duty, of interest, and of pleasure to connect St. dames'a with Belgravia, Pimlico, and Chelsea, under the present citcumstances at the greatest possible inconve nience to themselves, and really upon no just grounds why such inconvenience should exist at all ? I say, therefore, that Sir B. Hall's treating Belgravia, Pimlico, and Chelsea as a comparatively small portion of the public interested, and putting forward this in genious plan of route as beneficial to the populous dis tricts of Lambeth and the district between Vauxhall bridge-road and the Thames, is a mere sham and blind ; and, upon the specious plea of consulting the interests of the public, he. is actually sacrificing those very inte rests at the foot of another and far different shrine. - Sept. 22. A. Sir,—l have been over the ground to-day where the proposed new highway through the heart of St. James's park will terminate. It is that half-cleared rookery which the Westminster Improvement Commissioners have rendered famous; where building has been slowly going on for some years, and not half the cleared ground is occupied, and but one of the shops that have long been built has found a tenant. I am curious to know if the scheme for cutting up the Park originated with those Westminster Improvement Commissioners, or with some one who has been largely building in the "fields." Are the gardens of the people about to be sacrificed for the good of a elique ? In this age of jobs people become suspicious, and there is really a suspicious odour here. I am, sir, your obedient servant, INQUIRER. Sir,—l have read the correspondence between Sir Benjamin Hall and J. V. Shelley in the Times of to-day with pain and regret, for it not only confirms the report which I and many others had previously thought exag rerated or unfounded, of the contemplated cutting -St. James's-park in half by running a great public highway through the centre of it, but it further shows that Go vernment are utterly destitute of a reasonable pretext for the destruction of one of the " lungs of London" which this project implies. The only pleas which the First Commissioner of Works advances are—first, that a road from Pall-mall through the. Green Park to the present road in front of the palace would cut up the Green Park. Now, it must occur to every one as a very strange thing that Sir Benjamin Hall should exhibit so much affection for the Green Park, which is but little used in compari son, whi'e he plunges headlong, into a work of destruc tion where the co:nforts and pleasures of the whole work ing population of London are concerned. He will not sacrifice .a bit of the Green Park, but he will coolly de stroy all the beauty and convenience of St. James's Park -garden And for what ? The inhabitants of that large and in creasing district called Pimlico or Belgravia, have peti tioned for a right of way for coaches and cabs from Pall mall. Therefore, the First Commissioner of Works will give a road to Lambeth The hon. gentleman, appealed to by the householders of Pimlico, will oblige them with an easy way to Westminster ; and he appears to think that a few dozens of chairs, and a band of music in Ken sington Gardens on Sundays, will reconcile the 2,000,000 of inhabitants of this densely crowded London, to the sacrifice of their beautiful resort, St. James's-park. I regard these things, sir, not only with pain, but also some uneasiness. St. James's.:park is not, a place to be sacrificed at the pleasure of any crotchetty individuals, and the recent demonstration on the Sunday Bill should, of itself, be an example sufficient to deter our authori ties from undertaking the contemplated scheme. The mere deferring of it until Parliament reassembles but defers the exasperation which so ill-judged a measure is calculated to give rise to. The House of Commons, unfortunately, is agreeable to anything the Government proposes. My apprehen sions have reference to probabilities beyond a vote of the House of Commons. It was the Queen of George IL, I believe, who proposed to the Premier of that day the clOsing of this very Park ; and, although not 50 people, perhaps, entered its gates in four-and-twenty hours, the Minister made such a reply to her Majesty as occasioned the abandonment' of the project. I regret to find there is none of the spirit of that Minister in Sir Benjamin Hall. I abstain from tr , uching upon the odium which may be expected to fall elsewhere. My object is only to plead for the preservation of the gardens of St. James's-park. The "whole borough of Lambeth," which the First Com missionfr of Works proposes to accommodate, will have one of the finest roads in the kingdopi when the new Westminster-bridge is completed. There is no road to Pimlico. But roads are a secondary question. I plead for the preservation of the St. James's-park-gardens. The public have approved the immense votes of money for the improvement of the palace for the convenience of Royalty, including, indeed, the absorption of a large piece of the public highway ; and, as was remarked in a recent number of your paper, it is surely not too much to ask for a little reciprocity of sentiment. It will be a cruel thing to cut a public highway through the centre of St. James's-park. ONE OF THE PEOPLE. SERIOUS COLLISIONS BETWEEN THE FOREIGN LEfION AND THE ROYAL MARINES. Some serious collisions have occurred at Gosport be tween the men forming the German Legion and Royal Marines. The Legionaries arrived at Spithead a few weeks since, in the William M. Rogers, from Halifax, Noah America, being about 550 in number, and col lected from all parts of the United States and Canada. They comprised Germans, English, Scotch, Irish,French, &c. They were quartered at Hasler, near Gosport, as some symptoms of diarrhoea had appeared on board ship among them, instead of being sent out at once to Shorn cliffs. It appears that on Friday night a party of the Legion, all Germans, were drinking in a beerhouse in South-street, Gosport, and that a number of men of the Royal Marines. were also there, and that some, quarrel .:ensued amongst them. To which party the blame of the quarrel is to be attached it is impossible to say. From the beerbouse the two parties sallied into the street, where a regular fight took place. Fortunately, none of the combat ants had bayonets or other deadly weapons ; still they did considerable execution on each other, the Marines with their belts, and the Legionaries with sticks or anything else that came in their way. After a struggle of gr-at violence the latter had to retreat to their barracks. Tae police force of the town, five men of the Hants constr bulary under Sergeant Howard, could do little or nothing towards quelling the disturbance.' It was feared that on Saturday night the fight would he renewed, and we Le lieve that Sergt. Howard requested that the. Legionaries should be confined at night within barracks ; this unfor tunately was not done. In the course of the evening some 50 or 60 of the Marines assembled in South-street, when they were attacked byea similar force of Germans. Some of the latter had armed themselves with wooden rails, torn up by there from Government fences, but others we are sorry to add armed themselves with knives. The Marines had their belts again. The collision did not last long, butit was furious, and many broken heads were the result. Worse than this, two Marines were stabbed. One of them had nothing to do with the affray, but happened to be coming out of a shop as the Legionaries were rushing by, when one of them aimed a blow at his head, the point of the knife entering beyond the top of the forehead, and opening it with a most ghastly cut elmost to the eyebrow. Blood, of course, flowed pro fusely, and the man fell for dead. He was carried to Haelar Hospital, where he remains ; but it is thought impossible for him to survive. The other marine wag stabbed in the body by the sharp end of a wooden nail, or spike, but hot so severely. Several of the Legion are cs. i A laid up w ith ser i ous bruises and cuts. under t a the f n o t i i i r o n .w e e i r end. tir Two nta n of e es tle Legion th a e feat re d,i inissin o g f from the barracks ; and a mar i ne is now in custody rr the Germass on Friday night, some of them, to escape from the fury of the marines, took refuge ih the first house they could, concealing themselves in waterclosets, &c. On the same night, on going to bed in barracks, the marine in custody said to another, " Well, I did for one of the -. I found him in a privy, and I shoved him down and smothered him." This being re ported, the Marine has been taken into custody, and a search was instituted yesterday of all the water-elosets of the neighbourhood. The ill-feeling i s entirely confined to the Germans and Marines'; the French, English, Irish, and Scotchmen in the Legion are on the best terms with the Marines, so much so that it is feared die ttuthances will arise in barracks .between. the Germans and the others, as these latter, though they have not joined in the quarrel, have afforded protection to the Marines when they have found an isolated one likely to be ill-used. It is probable that the Legion will be broken 4, the Germans being sent to Shorn°We,. whilst many others in the Legion are desirous of joining the Marines. The American recruits for the Legion do not appear to be so good a class of characters as those who have been collected at Shorncliffe. Another batch of about 130 ar rived on Friday, in the Emma Eugenie, and have not yet disembarked. On the passage the fights and quarrels amongst them were continual, and the captain had the greatest difficulty in preserving a sufficient amount of Order to 'enable - the ship. to be worked. -• Fortunately he also bad about 60 Royal Artillerymen on bOard—men who had volunteered from Bermuda for service in the Crimea. These had to form a guard over the recruits, and but for them the ship could hardly have been brought over. On Sunday the county magistrates held'a meeting, and directed their clerk, Mr. J. Hoskins, to write to the commandant of the Royal Marines, Col. Graham, and the commandant of the Foreign Legion, Major Bowles, stating the serious disturbances that had taken place, and the apprehension of the inhabitants that they would be followed by still worse, and to prevent which the bench begged'those officers to confine their men to the barracks for the present. Major Bowles at once complied with the request, but Colonel Gi.aham declined to do so in a note to the bench, which the latter con sidered to be in its terms highly discourteous to them. The result was that the Marines were at large, but the Legionaries being confined to barracks, no disturbance ensued. Yesterday Mr. Hoskins was directed to wait upon the lieutenant•governor of the garrison, Major- General Breton, and lay before him the facts, together with the letter. This Mr. Hoskins has done, and yes terday afternoon General Breton. ordered the comman dant to confine the Marines within barracks till further orders, intending, we are informed, to forward the letter in question to the Admiralty. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S-MONDAY. It must not be inferred from the appearance of the subjoined list that a large amount of business was trans acted on the Cesarewitch. Most of the bets were only on a small scale—some of them, indeed, were scarcely 'worth quoting. The principal outlay was on Robgill-700 to 100 was taken twice, and the same odda were booked to divers small sums. At one time Mr. Sykes advanced to 15 to 1, but layers were eager, and he quickly fell back to 18 to 1. In the early part of the afternoon 2,000 to 100 was taken about Monarque, but towards the close 30 to 1 was repeatedly offered. 500 to 5 was at first laid against Vindex. As soon as it was known, however, that he had won the Lincolnshire Handicap the odds dropped to 40 to 1. The quotations at the-close wore as follows : EASTERN COUNTIES HANDICAP. 10 to 3 agst Flacrow (4 to 1 taken) 10 to 1 agst Pharos (taken) 10 to 1 Chalice (taken) 12 to 1 agst Ephesus (taken) CESAREWITCH. 7to 1 agst Robgill (taken and offered) 16 to 1 agst Scythian (take 18 to 1) 18 to 1 agst Mr Sykes (taken) 20 to 1 agst Meeanee filly (taken) 20 to 1 agst Siding (taken). 20 to 1 agst Sultan (taken) 25 to 1 aget Br. to Grey Tommy (taken) 25 to 1 agst Weathercock (taken) 25 to 1 agst Joe Miller (taken) 25 to 1 agst Muscovite (taken) 25 to 1 agst Crown Pigeon (taken). 30 to 1 agst Monarque (taken) 30 to 1 agst King Tom (taken) 33 to 1 agst Early Bird (taken) 35 to 1 agst Boer (taken) 40 to 1 agst Balrownie (taken) 40 to 1 agst Vindex 50 to 1 agst Rotherham (taken) 1000 to 15 agst Nutpecker (taken).

Domitio.—We are requested' by the owner of Domino to state that on his arrival at Lincoln last Sunday even ing he found his horse so lame that he immediately gave orders for him to be struck out of his engagement in the Lincolnshire Handicap. Dalkeith and Mountain Breeze are struck out of their respective engagements at the Chester Autumn Meeting; the former is also scratched for Wrexham. LINCOLN RACES—MONDAY. Brownlow Stakes. One mile.

MATCH BETWEEN BARRATT AND KNOX, The match between these two men carne off yesterday and attracted a large concourse of their respective backers. The match was from Putney to Mortlake for 201. a side. Knox, having won the toss for station, took the Middlesex shore, and a most desperate race ensued. They started evenly, and continued scull and scull till near the finish, when Knox went slightly in advance, and gradually increased his lead, winning by two lengths. WIND AND WEATIIE.I? REPORT.
