At three o'clock in the - idler:- a noon the Rifle Derby, open to all comers, mili tary or civilian, commenced; but owing, no doubt, to the windy weather, the entries were not so numerous as was expected. Any rifle, not exceeding 101 b. in weight, might be used, and there was no restriction as to position. Five rounds were fired at two distances-500 and 600 yards. The entrance fee was £l, the winner to take half the entrance money, the next shot three-fifths of the remainder, and the third the other two.fifths. There were 17 entries, consisting of officers, non commissioned officers, and Volunteers. Captain Rowland, of the 55th Regiment, stood at the head of the competitors by scoring 7 points at 500 yards and 6at 600. These points consisted of 3 outers and 2 centres at the former distance, and 4 enters and a centre at the latter. The second best shot was Lieut. Bcriven, of the 2d battalion 25th Regi ment, who scored 5 outers at 500 yards, and 2 outers and 2 centres at 609, making a total of 11. Major Edwards, of the Royal Engineers, carried off the third prize, by scoring 5 outers at 500 yards and 3 • outers and a centre at 600. • 4i l /),V CREMORNF,.-PRIVATE EVENING FETE at. the Royal Cremorne Gardens, on WEDNESDAY, Slily 24, in aid of the Funds for the Relief of the Spitalfields 'weavers and the Spitalfields Emit ration Committee.

Mr. O'Leary told me he was not much credited here when he re counted the manner in which Sir William Peel taught his sailors to toss about 68-pounders as if they were fieldpieces. The work I found to be rather " crowded" with guns, but it gives promise of such strength as to enable the occupants to com mand both rivers effectually. The armament is quite adequate to all purposes, and consists of one 8 inch howitzer, two 24-pounders, two 32-pounders, and some lighter guns, the whole being dominated by a 10-inch Columbiad in the centre, on a circular traversing slide ' not yet mounted. The magazine is well made and lighted ; it is the safest and best I have seen in the States. The practice I saw with a fieldpiece from the work at a small target 500 yards off, in order to try ricochet fire, was by no means bad, and would have speedily sunk a boat in the line of fire. Whenever a steamer is made out approaching Cairo a gun is fired from one or other of the ports. The steamer then gives the private signal agreed upon, and, if she does not answer, is fired upon and brought to by round shot. In the evening, as I was walking up and down the levee after a day of exhausting heat, an extra ordinary tumult attracted my attention, and on running to the hotel whence the noise proceeded I discovered a whole regiment drawn up two deep without arms, and shouting out in chorus, " Water! water ! water !" The officers were powerless, but presently General Prentiss came round the corner, and mounting on a railing proceeded to address the soldiery in energetic terms, but in substance his remonstrance would have been considered, in a French or English army, as much a breach of dis cipline as the act it had censured. These men had broken out of luirronks after hnnrm, forced their officers and the sentries, and came up shouting to the headquarters of their General to complain of a deficiency of wat The General addressed them as " Gentlemen . was not his fault they wanted water. It was their officers who were to blame, not he. He would see they had water, and would punish the contractor, but they must not come dis turbing him by their outcries at night. Their conduct was demoralizing to themselves, and to their comrades. Having rated the " gentlemen" soundly, he ordered them back to their quarters. They gave three cheers for the General, and retired in regular line of march with their officers. The fact was that the men on returning from a hot and thirsty drill found the water-barrels which ought to have been filled by the contractor empty, and not for the first time, and so they took the quarter master's business into their own hands.

By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented.

I have now invented a compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian corn, linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24 worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the Market. Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 31bs., at the cost of 5d., mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is afeed ter a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three quarterns of oats, costing 74d. 14 barrels weigh net 1 ton 1 cwt., at 16s. per cwt., £l6 16s. net cash, free, delivered by my own waggons to any station in London.

CAIRO, ILLINOIS. In my last letter I gave an account of what I saw on my way to the city of Memphis, and of my visit to the Secessionists' camp, and brought up the nar rative of the journey to my arrival at this place, which is the head-quarters of the brigade of Illinois troops employed in behalf of the Union to keep a watch and ward over the important point which commands the junction of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers. Major-General Pillow, of Tennessee, block ades the current of the united rivers at Memphis ; Brigadier-General Prentiss blockades both streams before they join at Cairo higher up. The former is in the midst of friends ; the latter is surrounded by enemies—across the rivers, in his rear, below, be hind, and above him—in his very camp there are Secesionist feelings, sentiments, and wishes, some times represented by actual force. There are in the larger States about this vast region conditions of opinion on the subject of Union or Secession which are like the electrical phenomena of a conductor, charged by induction. As the States approach or recede from the great slave agriculturists they be ennui Secessionist, or divided, and finally Unionist. Western Virginia is rather Federalist than other wise ; Southern Illinois is in several counties all but Secessionist ; East and West Tennessee differ in sentiment on the great question. Missouri is also distracted by Federalist and Disunionist. It may be that this schism will not only break up the Union, but even split up the States, for the sovereignty of which one part of the Republic is arrayed in arms against the other. The Seces sionists, however, stop short with their universal remedy at the borders of each State, and do not admit the right of separation to any portion of a State unless it be in their own favour. A Union man is very glad to observe discussion in a State when it is brought about by the friends of the Government at Washington. A Northern man will endure anything but the idea of the Union being broken up ; he becomes intemperate and angry if it be hinted at. But, in whatever way the end may be worked out, it is clear the means used in doing so are the 61d-fashioned machines in vogue in the Old World in the hands of despots, kings, and rulers ; and that the majority in States which was formerly the ruling power must be destroyed by the process. The argument of a self-governing people for the whole of the United States is now convenient enough ; but we heard very different language when England demanded redress for the imprison ment of her subjects at Charleston, and when a British subject was seized in New York because he had destroyed a vessel in the service of the enemy. In fact, the whole of the philosophical abstractions on which the founders of the Republic based their constitution have given way before the pressure of events, and every step that is taken by the Federal Government in vindication of its rights or preroga tives is embarrassed by difficulties which in the end must be cut by the sword. The authorities can scarcely deal even with a rebel privateer ; and in the case of the schooner taken by the United States' brig Perry in all but flagrant piracy, with proofs abundant of her guilt, there is no court to condemn her unless one be specially devised, inasmuch as she ought by law to be condemned in the United States' Court, in the harbour of Charleston, South Carolina, where the United States' processes at this moment are not of much effect. It is obvious that such an emergency as the present cannot be met by any constitutional devices. Republics in a crisis have always had recourse to dictators. If word-splitters, doctrine-mongers, and dodging politicians, at the forthcoming Congress of Washington, attempt to control the action of the Executive by " Constitu tional devices, motions, or resolutions, they will do more harm to the cause of the Union than all the militia captains of the enemy's host, A few hours took me out of the Southern Camps to theFederaliet position ; but Secession sentiments travelled on board the steamer, An English steward, who left his country so long ago that he forgets all the feelings of his countrymen, expressed his opinion that the South would hold its own on the slavery basis, and professed astonishment at the notion that slavery was not in itself a good thing, which he found prevalent in Great Britain. The passengers were rather Secessionist than Unionist, and I must say, from what I have seen, there is far more leni ewnheiyehand forbearance shown by the United States' authorities to the rebels than the latter exhibit to wards those who are in favour of Federal principles, Secessionist are o g ot e a n f r e loa r mn a l d i Ni y n. described egwa tot ileealne d va o,ewewn of South c.aire as th abo litioniste pas sweintghemrsewent where they listed, and a very strong sus pect tam Marts uam Mercurio—was l h e a t d go tr h a i v s e w ll a e y d. mud running out iinvetahrf,etoeiruanacbtiroinefofdettheentmioinss.issißppe-i Cairo consists of a bank of shape e all hotel en teds aloft near the horizontal C.

It is a redan or rather a fieche following, the line of the banks, with a good profile and command—a regular ditch scarp and counter-scarp, and it owes its excellence probably to the skill of Colonel Wagner, a Hun garian, who is in charge f it. The with men in uniform, and it was Artillery was crowded offic r hotel suggested by the landlord that one bed was large enough for two stout gentlemen —my friend and my self, the thermometer being at 100 degrees or so in .the shade, but there was a difference of opinion on erdGd boe e adnhneifkori that point, and finally we were quartered in a secluded little chamber, two bedded, two windowed, with a fine view into the back yard. The delta is strongly occupied by Illinois volunteer forces, with two field batteries and several guns of position. On the opposite shore of the Mississippi, at a place called Bird's Point, in the State of Missouri, is a detached post, with field intrenchments held by a regiment composed of Germans, Poles, and Hun garians, under Colonel Schuttner, about 1,000 strong, and several pieces cf light artillery. Posts are also established higher up on the banks of each river, but on the bank of the Ohio, opposite to Cairo, the soil is tabooed. There is the "sacred soil" of Kentucky, and Beriah Magoffin has warned the United States and Confederate States off his pre mises. It is my belief, however, that Columbus will not be long unoccupied. The Ken tuckians opposite Cairo are very strong Secessionists. At the rear of the hotel, in the hollow between the levees of the rivers, is "Camp Defiance," which must be the base of operations of any force proceed ing down the Mississippi. On the morning after my arrival (June 20) I was introduced to General Prentiss, whom I found is a large room on the ground floor of the hotel, which is the headquarters of the brigade: He is a man in the prime of life, about 40 years of age, with a clear, liquid blue eye, and very agreeable manner ; smooth-faced, except as to the chin, which is alorned by the barbe di' Afrique or goatee so muci affected in America ; over the middle height, slight and active in figure, and speaking with what is calleda slight Western accent. Although he was aware I had just come from Mem phis, the General had the good taste not to ask any questions respecting the posiion, which is more than I can say of all I met on either side. By his elbow was his acting aide.de-camp and military secretary, an Englishman named Binnore, who was formerly engaged as Government stenographer at Washing ton, and has now sharpenedhis pencil into a sword. A number of officers were in the room, one of whom was a Hungarian, Milotsky; another a German, a third a Scotchman, a fourth an Englishman. In conversing on various matters General Prentiss showed me, with a smile, the copy of a newspaper, published in Kentucky, which contained an article on himself that cannot readily meet with a parallel even in the journalism of this part of the world. For the benefit of your readers I send it that they may judge what sort of a people it must be which tolerates the use of such language : '" There is a man now vegetailing at Cairo, by name Pren tiss, who is in command of the forces at that point. His qualifications for the command of such a squad of villains and cutthroats are—he is a miserable hound, a dirty dog, a sociable fellow, a treacherous villain, a notorious thief, a lying blackguard, has served his regular five years in the penitentiary, and keeps his hide continually full of Cincin nati whisky, which he buys by the barrel to save money. In him are embodied all the leprous rascalities, and in this living sore the gallows has been cheated of its own. This Prentiss wants our scalp. We have no objection to his having it if he can get it ; and we will propose a plan by which he may become possessed of that valuable article. It is this. Let him select 150 of his best fighting men, or 250 of the lager beer Dutchmen, and we will select 100 ; then let both parties meet at a given point, where there will be no interruption of the scalping business, and then the longest pole will knock the persimmon.' If he does not accept this proposal he is a coward. We think the above proposition fair and equal." These gems are from a paper called the Crescent, printed at Columbus, Kentucky, and edited by Col. L. G. Faxon, of the Tennessee Tigers, a worthy and accomplished officer and gentleman, no doubt. In the afternoon General Prentiss was good enough to drive me round the camp in company with Mr. Washburne, member of Congress from Illinois, and several officers and gentlemen. Among them was Mr. Oglesby, Colonel of a regiment of Illinois Volunteers, and, as it shows of what mate rial the commanding officers of these regiments, on whose individual action so much depends, are made, I may be pardoned for stating that this excellent, kindly, and shrewd old man, who was responsible for the position and efficiency of 1,000 men, is one who raised himself from obscurity to a competence by the drudgery of a lawyer's office in spite of a de fective education, and that he never handled a com pany in the field in his life. Apparently he is selected to be a colonel because he can make good homely telling speeches to his men, and he may think he will be a good officer just as he may imagine he is an excellent artilleryman because the first time he ever laid and fired a gun the other day the ball hit the tree at which it was aimed. The bulk of the troops are encamped in wooden sheds, provided with berths like those in a ship, which are disposed lon gitudinally, so as to afford the maximum of sleeping room. These sheds run continuously along the in ward side of the levees, the tops of which are broad enough to serve as carriage roads. They answer well enough for temporary purposes, but would not do for a lengthened residence. There can be no drainage, as the ground on which they stand is be low the water level. The parade is spacious and level enough—the bottom of a swamp whioli the troops have cleared, cutting down trees and remov ing stumps with great diligence and labour. Our drive extended up the Mississippi shore, past two field guns in position and some infantry tents, up to the camp of a company of Chicago Li g ht Artillery and of Hungarian and German Volunteers, under Major Milotsky. The guns fired a salute on the ar rival of the General, and the company were drawn up to receive him—an unequally-sized body of men, most of whom, however, were quite fit for any mili tary duty. The Captain, Mr. Smith, is, I should judge from his accent, a Scotchman, and he told me the men in his company represented a million and a-half of dollars in property. The guns of the company (brass six-pounders), the horses, aid equipments were clean and in good order; the firing was well-timed. While seated in his tent several of the privates came forward outside and sang, "The Star-Spangled Banner," " God Save the Queen" (to their own words), and other airs very pleasingly; but a severe reception awa ited the guests on going outside, for the whole of the com pany were drawn up in line, and they then and there set up a shouting for " Washburne," so that the hon. member was fain to comply and make a speech; and then General Prentiss made a speech under similar compulsion ; and next Colonel Ogles by ; and then your own correspondent, who has had quite enough of speaking in America, in his first and last effort, was forced to say he could not make a speech ; and after other orations, in which the audience were always called " gentlemen !" we got off (with "three cheers") to the Hungarians, who were waiting for the turn—a fine, soldierly looking set of men, of whom our Kentucky editor writes as follows : "When the bow-legged, wooden-shoed, sour - krout stink ing, bologna -sausage-eating, hen-roost -robbing Dutch sons of from Cairo had accomplished the brilliant feat of taking down the Secession flag on the river bank, they were pointed to another flag of the same sort, which was flying gloriously and defiantly about two squares distant (and which their guns did not cover), and defied, yea, double-big, black dog dared (as we used to say at school) to take that flag down. The cowardly pups ' the sheep-dogs, the sneak ing skunks dare no t d o so because these 12 pieces of artil lery were not bearing upon it, And these are the people who are sent by Lincoln to ' crush out' the South 1" The officer in command put them through light infantry drill, advance of line of skirmishers, charge, rally, retreat, &c., all well done, and they marched back singing to camp and gave three good cheers for the General. In our way back the party stopped at another camp which was enlivened by the presence of ladies, who bad come some hundreds of miles to see husbands and brothers, and in the evening the usual parade took place near the hotel. Four regiments of about 700 each were on the ground, and never, perhaps, did any force only a few weeks in the field look more like soldiers, march more steadily in line or present a better appearance in the ranks. When drawn up in line the difference of uniform in various companies struck the eye as a disagreeable novelty—one with white crossbelts between two companies with black crossbelts, for example ; but the line of bayonets was unwavering and uniformly sloped—all the ordinary work of a very ordinary regimental parade was per formed by each wit h precision and rapidity, and the men were as fine fellows as could be seen in any infantry regiments of the line in any part of the world. The officers, however, did not seem very quick—orders were carried at a trot—the combined movements were slow and a little clubb!ng took place in forming into line from columns of com panies marching in echelon. Just as it was dark there came into camp with a good band at their head a remarkably stout - looking set of fe llows ar med with rifle and bayonet, very tall, in heavy marching order, and stepping out like men who knew their business. Alas ! that it should be s o. But these are Colonel Schuttner's "Dutchmen," as they are called, who have been a little eccentric at Bird's Point, going on scouting parties, and making themselves generally active either without or with the colonel's sanction, and so they are marched to camp as a punishment for their want of discipline, am informed the cond uc t o f the troops on t he whole andhas been nir very y ce is exera ta p k ia e r n by another battalion. I y. JUNE 2 I visited the earthworks at the end of the levee. Col.Waagner was ill with the usual camp diarrhoea, but he would insist on getting up and showing me his performance. He has fought in many hard fields in Europe, served in the Hungarian war, and accompanied Kossuth to the United States. His right-hand man, Lieut. O'Leary, was formerly a petty officer in the British navy, served in the Furi ' the Black Sea, and vas in the Shannon bri- JUNE 22. The information which Brigadier-General Pren tiss received of movements on the part of the Missouri Secessionists induced him, in pursuance, I presume, of instructions from the head quarters of his district, or, possibly, on his own responsibi duty, to send out an expedition secretly this after noon to break up the camp, and disperse or make them prisoners. It is in that sort of guerilla enter prises that much of the time and strength of the Federalists will be consumed. A good map of the States may fail to show the little village of Com merce, on the Mississippi, but it is about 16 miles east of the town of Benton, and is about two hours' steaming from Cairo. Here the Confederates, or "rebels," as they are called in my present latitude, have collected in two or three small camps in num bers to which report adds and deducts ciphers at pleasure. But General Prentiss does not think they can be over a few hundred men, judging from the force he sent against them. It is supposed these bands are the debris of Governor Jackson's followers, who have been encouraged by promises of support from Memphis to assemble as rallying centres for the Secessionists of Missouri, who would, no doubt, collect in considerable numbers if they were per mitted, and would summon their defeated Governor, now an exile in Arkansas, to their head. But the position they occupy is very important in a stra tegical sense, as it commands the Mississippi above Cairo, and if they succeeded in getting a few guns they could stop the navigation of the river and cause serious embarrassment to the right flank and rear of the Federalists posted on the junc tion of that river with the Ohio. It was nearly dusk before the expedition started. It con sisted of about 700 men and one six-pounder field-piece, under the command of Colonel Morgan. As they marched on board the huge river steamer —a Pelion of light carpentery on an Ossa of engines and boilers—the men cheered in the old English style, and gave—three thundering " hurrahs " as the steamer backed out and set her bow against the stream. But now comes what seemed to me a little of the recklessncbs and want of foresight, or at least of precaution, which has been evident in more than one Federalist expedition, with the usual consequences of disaster and loss. These men and horses and the gun were put on board this big tinder-box, all fire and touchwood. One sma)' boat, capable of carrying a dozen men at most, hung at tier stern. Imagine an explosion, and her engines are high pressure ; a shot from a masked gun into her boiler, and her boilers are exposed; even heavy musketry fire opened suddenly from the wooded bank on the beehive-like deck, where the solitary gun could scarcely be worked, and the men could not be landed, and see what a catastro phe might ensue. To use a homely simile there were " too many eggs in one basket. And there was no necessity for doing this, inasmuch as many steamers lay at the disposal of the authorities, and the steamer could easily have towed up flats or boats for the gun and men. In talking to Gen. Prentiss this evening I was informed that the enemies' spies visit Cairo every day. Strict precautions are used to prevent access to the camps—a close chain of sentries is posted all around, and in the day a pass is necessary for admittance, unless one belongs to the force, and at night no one is admitted without tie countersign. An Irish gentleman who had been evincing his satisfaction at the receipt of his wages more Ilibernico just now attempted to get past us —" Who goes there ?" " A friend—shure you know I'm a friend " Advance three paces and give the countersign." The gentleman approached, but was brought up by the bayonet. " Send for the captain, and he'll give you the word bedad." The intercession was unnecessary, for two policemen came up in hot pursuit, and the General, who was sitting by, ordered the guard to deliver their pri soner to the civil power. For some extraordinary reason this act moved the prisoner to the greatest gratitude, and taking off his cap he exclaimed, " Thank you, General ; long life to you. Indeed, General, I'm greatly obliged to you on this account." Another sentry who challenged an officer in the usual way was asked by him, " Do you know the countersign yourself ?" " Indeed I don't Sir ; it's not nine o'clock, and they haven't given it out yet." A very tolerable military band played outside the hotel in the evening, and I was pleased to see the quiet manner in which the bystanders of all ranks sat down in the chairs as they ware vacant, close to the General, without any intrusion or any sense of impropriety arising from their difference in rank. The expedition had not returned at four o'clock this evening when I started in the trail for Chicago. JUNE 23. A large-bodied Yorkshireman, who had a full share of most of the attributes of his shire folk, in the service of the land department of the Illinois Central Railroad, gave me all the information neces sary about the country. He was called " Major" by his intimates, and, said he w ith a wink, I was a major, but, unfortunately, there was a word before it—l was troop sergeant-major in the Queen's Bays." He pointed out the fat places where "we put our Englishmen" when they come to settle on the prairie lands on which we were just entering as morning broke, and seemed hopeful of a grand future for the vast plains, which only stand in need of a little wood to render them fit for the reception of despairing agriculturists when the war fever is over Corn is abundant. The vast plains are rich with crops, or are ready to yield to the tilth. A city worthy of such a name rises above the waters of the sea-like lake whose waves roll from the boundless horizon in crisping foam on the smooth sandy beach. The pure clear air invigorates the frame, weakened by the warm, clammy breath of the South. The notes of the mocking bird are heard no more, but the prairie hen gets up with a sharp whirr from the roadside, and drops with her brood into the deep, flowering clover ; the partridge calls from the stubble, and instead of the foul turkey buzzard and his lazy wheel swoops the gray falcon over the broad meadow rapid curves. Chicago receives us, and comfort, cleanliness, quiet, good meat , butt er and bread—of which, indeed, we had a foretaste at the refreshment rooms at Centralia, where I took tea last night—assures the traveller that he is not the inmate of a Southern hotel.

The Henry, War Department transport, Mr. John Bull, master, also landed at the Ordnance Wharf yesterday 13 of the 8-inch smooth-bore guns, each of 65 cwt., from the factory at Woolwich. The Pylades, 21, screw, Captain Michael de Courcy, sailed from Spithead, under canvas and steam, at 3 p.m. yesterday, for Sheerness. The invalids brought to England on board her from the Pacific were landed from her while at Spit head by the Sprightly steamer. The Pylades sailed from Valparaiso on the Ist of May, and arrived at Rio Janeiro on the 28th of the same month, sailing thence for England on the sth of June. Fine weather was experienced during the passage home. Some interesting experiments were again made at Portsmouth yesterday, from the launch of Her Majesty's ship Britannia, off the harbour's mouth, to test the efficiency of the plan proposed by Lieut. G. S. Nares, senior lieutenant of Her Majesty's ship Britannia, for forming a communication be tween a stranded ship and lee shore. Lieut. Nares's plan consists simply of a kite with two lines, in addition to a tail, the latter being used as a tow tine if required. Of the two flying lines of the kite, one is made fast in the usual manner in the centre of the kite and the other at the bottom. If the object be to send a hawser to the fop of a cliff, sup posing that the surf breaks too heavily at the cliff's base for any one to land, as was the case in the wreck of the Royal Charter, the kite is given suffi cient line to fly over the highest point o' the cliff; when sufficiently far inland the line from its centre, by which it has been flown, is let go, and the one made fast to the foot of the kite, being held on, brings the kite to the ground, and places in the hands of the people on shore the line with which a hawser can be sent from the stranded vessel, a boat swain's cradle rigged, and ultimately the crew of the ship rescued. If again, on the other hand, a ship lies stranded on a low coast, with her boats destroyed, the kite is sent on shore with its tail in this instance towing through the water to the shore a man, a raft, or any other object to be saved. The trials yesterday had reference to a ship placed in the latter position, and were of a most satisfactory character. As a final test, Lieut. Nares jumped overboard from the launch with the line from the kite made fast to a selvage strop under his arms, and was, by means of the apparatus, towed over the intervening distance between the boat and the shore, over deep wstcr and through the surf, in perfect ease and safety, without even the necessity of moving an arm to assist himself in his progress or keep him afloat. Yesterday a contractor's trial of the engines of the Liverpool, 51, took place outside the breakwater at Plymouth. This frigate was launched last year at the Devonport Dockyard. She is of the same class as the Bristol, Newcastle, Dublin, and Aurora. The burden of the Liverpool is 2,654 tons, Her length between the perpendiculars is 235 ft.; her extreme breadth, 50ft. lin. ; her depth of hold, 18ft. Sin. The engines, by Messrs. Humphrey and Tennant, of 600-horse power. are remarkable for the simplicity of their construction. The screw shaft is 90ft. long by 151 inches diameter. The screw, Griffiths', has a diameter of 18ft., with a pitch of 26ft. 6in. Her bunkers will contain from 350 to 400 tons of coal, and the daisy consumption at full speed is estimated at 60 to 70 tons. Alongside the dockyard, on Monday, 58 revolutions per minute were obtained, with a pressure of 131 b. to the square inch, and a vacuum of 24 inches. At the trial yesterday Captain Key, Commander Risk, and Mr. Steel, of the Indus, and Mr, Ward, from the Keyham Steamyard, represented the Government. Messrs.! Humphrey and Tennant were themselves on board. The wind was from the south-west, force of from 4to 6. The Liverpool is not yet pro vided with spars, guns, or provisions. She draws 16ft. 6in. forward and 19ft. 3in. aft. After run ning six times on the measured mile, a mean speed of nearly 121 knots was obtained; revolutions per minute, 78 to 60 ; pressure of steam on boilers, 201 b. ; vacuum, 26in. The engines were exerted up to nearly 2,600 horses. The screw steamship 'Sanspareil, 70, will be out of the hands of the artisans of the Devonport Dockyard before the end of the month. The supernumeraries which she will embark for re lieving the ships on the China station will include one captain, 12 lieutenants, three masters, 11 second masters, 33 engineers, 11 warrant officers, and one subaltern Royal Marines. In the West India intelligence appearing in The Sun of Monday, it was stated that some apprehen sions were felt for the safety of her Majesty's steamer Spiteful, there referred to by a misprint as the Spitfire. It will relieve the minds of many having friends on board to know that intelligence has since been received that the vessel is safe, she Laving run into the Caymans when short of coal. A naval court-martial assembled on Wednesday on board the Formidable, 84, in the Medway, flag ship of Vice-Admiral W. Hope Johnstone, Com mander-in-Chief at the Nore, for the trial of William Knight, a supernumerary stoker of and belonging to the Cumberland, 70, on a charge of having, on the 11th of July last, made use of disgusting and insulting language to Capt. Henry Cardew, of the Royal Artillery, near the Royal Artillery guard house, Sheerness, such conduct being in breach of the 18th Article of War. The Court was presided over by Capt. W. G. Luard, of the Formidable, and Mr. G. H. Knight, of the firm of Essell, Knight, and Arnold, Admiralty solicitors, Rochest er, offi eiated as Deputy Judge-Advocate. The Court, at the close of the evidence for the prosecution, con sidered the charge fully proved, and sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned in the county goal at Maidstone for 15 months, and for 12 months of that me to be kept to hard labour.. THE ARMY. His Royal Highness the General Commander-in- Chief will hold a Levee at the Horse Guards at one o'clock on Monday next. The national military rifle match at Aldershott was concluded yesterday, when the Volley Stakes, the Non-commissioned Officers' Prize, and the Rifle Derby were contested. The weather continued fine, but the wind blew very strongly across the ranges transversely, and in the faces of the competitors. Among those who visited the ground during the day were Major-Gen. Lawrence and Major-Gen. Lord George Paget. The proceedings commenced about half-past 9 o'clock, when a hundred men went to the targets to shoot for the Volley Stakes. Each regiment contributed one section of ten files to con tend for these stakes, and the prizes were awarded according to the aggregate shooting of the several 600 sections. Five rounds were fired at 400 and at yards, and the stakes consisted of two prizes. e following regiments were r e p resented by sec. ons, or and they are arranged in the der of men ttiTh , the prizes being won, o f - c ourse, by the two first-men tioned :-Ist battalion Scots Fusilier Guards, 29th Regiment, 45th Regiment, 32d Regiment, 84th Regiment, 78th Regiment, 2d battalion 25th Regi ment, 41st Regiment, Ist battalion 10th Regiment, 2d battalion 20th Regiment. The Non-commis sioned Officers' Prize of £lO 10s. presented by Mr. Truefitt, for all non-commissioned officers above the rank of corporal was next contested. The distances five were 500 and 600 yards,ve rounds at e ac h, an d the stakes consisted of two prizes. About 150 men entered for these stakes, most of the regiments at Aldershott, as well as others stationed in London, Chatham, and Shorncliffe, being represented. The 1 result was that Sergeant Byrne, of the Scots Fusileer Guards: and Colour-Sergeant Wagstaff) The Bth (King's) Regiment, under the command vy of Col. Frederick Paul Haines, C. 8., has been offi cially inspected by Major-Gen. Lord W. Paulet, C.B. The regiment looked exceedingly well on parade, and went through a variety of manceuvres in a very smart and creditable manner. Lieut.-Col. Turner's mounted Armstrong battery marched yesterday morning from their quarters in the artillery barracks at Hilsea to Southsea-common where they were put through a course of exercise for a considerable time, firing blank. When this was ended the horses were picketted and tents pitched. The troop afterwards struck tents, lim bered up, and returned to their quarters. Orders have been received at the head-quarters, of the Royal Marine Artillery, Fort Cumberland, near Portsmouth, for the following officers and men belonging to thatleorps to hold themselves in readi ness to embark on board the Warrior, 36, screw _ • iron-plated ship, Capt. the Hon. Arthur A. Coch rane, C.B. :—Capt. Wm. P. Draffen, First Lieuts. H. Everett and F. H. E. Owen, three sergeants, three corporals, two drummers, and 114 gunners. It is believed that there will be no detachment sent on board from the Royal Marine Light Infantry. THE REPRESENTATION OF LONDON. Yesterday, at two o'clock, a preliminary confe rence of the leading men in the City, on the Libe ral side, who were convened by circular, was held at the London Tavern, in reference to the impend ing vacancy in the representation. Between 60 and 70 gentlemen were present, including, among others, Mr. Prescott, who acted as chairman, Mr. R. W. Crawford, M.P., Mr. Kirkman Hodgson, M.P., Mr. Thompson Mulkey, M.P., Mr. T. A. Mitchell, M.P., Mr. Matthew Forster, formerly member for Berwick, and Messrs. Archibald Tra vers, John Dillon, John A. Hankey, Travers Smith, Wm. Lester, J. H. Elliott, H. Hoppy, E. Wilson, P. A. Taylor, 'J. P. Foster, Dr. S. Read, Dr. R. Nead, E. C. Whitehurst, chairman of the Ballot Society, W. Kirk, and J. Underwood. With this view to avoid everything that might have by possibility the appearance of dictation, and to elicit spontaneously the feeling of the meeting on the subject in hand, not a single resolution had, been prepared beforehand. A member of the party explained that the meeting had been called partly in consequence of the requisition to the Lord Mayor, now in course of signature, which seemed to render it necessary that, in the interest of the Liberal por-. tion of the constituency, they should come to some, understanding whether it was desirable to contest the representation, ha the event of Lord J. Russell vacating his seat; for, otherwise, electors on the Liberal side might be induced to join in the requi sition to the Lord Mayor, or to promise him then-- support, under the belief that no candidate was. about to present himself to give effect to their own views. Some conversation ensued, and eventually,, on the motion of Mr. K. Hodgson, M.P., seconded by Mr. M. Forster, Mr. Western Wood was pro posed to the meeting as a candidate in the Liberal interest, a gentleman who, from his high repute as a merchant in the City, his thorough acquaintance with all its varied and important interests, his per sonal abilities, and as being son of a noted gentle man who long represented the City in Parliament: —united in himself all the essential requisites of an efficient representative of so numerous and important a constituency. Mr. Dillon sug gested the desirability, as Mr. Wood was present, of hearing him state his views. This Mr. Wood did at some length, in a speech, and in a manner, which_ frequently elicited the approbation of the meeting.. In reply to a question from Mr. Whitehurst, of the' Ballot Society, Mr. Wood said he was in favour of affording every elector who might desire it the pro tection of the ballot; adding that his father, Sir Matthew Wood, and his brother, Sir Wm. Page Wood, had maintained the principle of . vote by ballot. Mr. W. White, jun., .off. Cheapsid e, urged upon the meeting the desirability of inviting the. Chancellor of the Exchequer to stand as a candi date; and this he cont inued to do, notwithstanding the repeated assurance from gentlemen present that Mr. Gladstone had already declined the compli ment. Ultimately. a resolution was passed, with this single dissent ient, approving of the candida ture of Mr. Wood , and pledging the meeting to use their utmost endeavours to secure his return. Last evening Mr. Wood issued an address to the, u i The nst i t on to the Lord Mayor continued yes terday be numerously and influentially signed by eorteoecin buc men o f all classes and opi n i ons among the electors. It will probably be presented in a day or two, and then his lordship will have to decide whether he will present himself as a candidate.
