Thirty years ago, when THE ATHEN'2ElfMcame into the hands of its present Proprietors, its price was Eightpence, and its contents, with advertisements, forty-eight columns. Convinced that the circulation of Literary Journals was re stricted by high price, and that every advantage offered to the public would bring increase of circulation and authority, the Proprietors reduced the price one-half—to Fourpence. The experiment succeeded, and cheap Literary Journals became the rule. The Proprietors have always held to the principle then proved. They have given to the public the benefit of every change in the law, increasing the size without increase of price, until the average has become about sixty columns of literary matter, with forty columns of advertisements, Se lected so as to be o' general interest. The Proprietors, taking advantage of the abolition of the Paper Duty, have now resolved that on and aster the sth of October the price of THE ATHEN,EUIVI will be reduced to THREEPENCE.

M. Bruce, which arrived at Sheerness a few days ago from the North American and West Indian Station, to paid off owing to the ravages of the yellow fever, has since been ordered to Woolwich to be refitted for further service. The new Greek steam frigate of war, the Amalie, which arrived at Sheerness on the 19th inst. from the Thames, has since been out on trial of her en gines, and is now anchored at Black Stakes, await ing further orders. The Leander screw steam frigate, 400-horse power, got up steam yesterday at Sheerness, after being sub jected to water-pressure for the purpose of trying theeffects of the new patent expansion gear of Messrs. Bolton and Watts. The trial was eminently success ful. By direction ,of the Admiralty the following Go vernment vessels are to be sold by tender :—At Woolwich, the Messenger, 733 tons; at Portsmouth, the Carysfort, 925 tons ; at Deptford, the Crocodile, 501 tons ; at Sheerness, the Espiegle, 443 tons; the Waterwitch, 324 tons ; and the Gossamer, 48 tons. At Devonport, the Merlin, 889 tone. ' ; Arrangements are now being made at the Thames Iron Shipbuilding Works, Blackwall, for the imme diate construction of a new iron•cased screw fri gate for the Admiralty of 6,815 tons, the cost of which will amount to about half a million. A number of shipwrights and labourers were on Saturday employed in altering the blocks in No. 3 dock at Chatham, in which the iron screw steamer Defence, 22, is to be placed, and reducing them seve ral inches, in order to give that vessel a greater depth of water on the occasion of her being docked, The sill of the docks where the old gates formerly stood has been cut away level with the flooring to give a clearer space under the vessel's stern. The utmost care will be required in docking the Defence, as, although No. 3 dock is sufficiently long to take her in, the great breadth of beam of the frigate will leave only a very small space between the sides of the dock and the iron ship. The alterations required to be effected in the dock will prevent her being admitted into it during the present high tides ; and, indeed, it is now understood that she will be masted in the river before being docked. This will necessitate a farther delay, as, although her top masts, yards, and other gear have been for some time at Chatham, her iron lower masts have not yet arrived from the Thames Iron Company, at whose works they are being constructed. Notwith standing the delay which has arisen in docking the Defence, the work of completing her is being rapidly proceeded with afloat, a body of 100 mechanics being engaged night and day, with only wry short inter vals, in getting her ready for sea. The _Derry Standard says it is impoasiblc to speak in terms of overstrained compliment of the cour tesy, urbanity, and kindness of the Admirals and officers of the Channel fleet during their stay in Lough Foyle to the crowd of visitors of all ranks who during four or five days thronged the ships incessantly from early morning till a late hour at night. It sees much utility in periodical visits of the fleet to the Irish ports, as such a gigantic exhi- bition of British power would awe the disaffected, stimulate the courage of the loyal, and make the tax-paying public feel that they get substantial value for their money. the Mediterranean.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 23, 1861. THE CIVIL WA R IN A 1118. ICA. (From the Special Correspondent of the Times.) .WASHINGTON, SEPT. 6. Major-Gen. Fremont's proclamation has driven a wedge not only into the fine piece of Cabinet work at Washington, but into the whole substance of the Union party. It did not need any such appliance to cause fissures in either, for there were, and are, deep rents and cracks in these fabrics, built up as they are of bits of d'fferent platforms, which all the Union glues and the varnishes of the politicians could neither eventually cement nor conceal. A system of ostracism and the liberal use of Lafayette once introduced, it is hard to say where the result may end, or when those who enjoy the power will become philosophers enough to deny themselves the exquisite pleasure of sending off an opponent at an election or a possible rival to the seclusion of the strict retreats, where he may reflect on the errors of his way, and repent him of the evil he has done. Ido not attach any importance whatever to rumours, but it is within my own personal know ledge that serious personal dislikes exist between the members of the Cabinet. The President in the main cultivates the intimacy, and perhaps approves the councils, of Mr. Seward, but he is exhibiting a rude vigour of his own,—rude because it is dis played openly,—which proves that he can reduce his Cabinet to what it really is according to the American theory—a mere board of heads of depart ments, who may be asked their opinions of any matter as anzici curice by the President, or who may be put on one side if he pleases. Mr. Seward, wise in his generation, confines his attention to the one rous business of his own department, but others of his colleagues distinguish themselves by an un lucky assiduity in tormenting themselves with the affairs of departments which do not belong to them, and " everything by turns and nothing long" are the teredos of every plank in the Ship of State. Mr. Lincoln, who has a right to go everywhere (and to do anything he likes apparently), evinces a solici tude natural enough in all that is going on in the army, the navy, and the other branches of the public service, and has lately turned his attention to the subject of big guns and ordnance. It would surprise an Englishman, whose notion of the func tions of a President, founded on the popular idei that they were those of a milder sort of chief magi stracy than that which we have the happiness to possess, probably restricted his powers to that of veto or approval by signature of Acts of Parlia ment, and the sending of messages, to be told that Mr. Lincoln is not only head of the army and navy, but that in such questions as the propriety of re lieving Fort Sumpter by a military and naval ex pedition the Illinois lawyer studied books, heard arguments on both sides, and finally determined on the course to be pursued. Pray observe with what subtlety the Southerners have acted, in the lan guage they have used in familiar correspondence and in the press, when speaking of the United States. They never mention the name of the ex- Great Republic. The United States' army is to them "Lincoln's mercenaries," the United States' navy is " Lincoln's warships," and so on through all the varieties of Lincoln's " hordes," " barbarians," " savages," &c. ; they endeavour to fix on the Pre sident the direct personal responsibility of the whole conflict, and to restrict the agents he uses in waging it to the Yankees of the New England States. The mass of the South are fighting for a Union of their own, to which they have insensibly trans ferred their loyalty, and their national feeling, which unquestionably is great, in the old flag, and believe they are fighting against an alien enemy— one Abraham Lincoln, who is aided and abetted by the powers of darkness and their Yankee co-efficient. And yet I have reason to believe Mr. Lincoln is one of the most moderate men in the section of his own'Cabinet which looks to internal politics, and that in the present distracting discussions he gene rally inclines to the view that the North is not making a war against slavery, and that the result of her success need not be the liberation of the Negro. Mr. Blair, who is a downright dour Cove nanter of the American sort, and with whom the Southern slaveholders are sons of Belial—" a sword of the Lord of Gideon" man, who could smite Phi- listines hip and thigh from the rising to the going down of the sun—and being a chosen instrument— I speak, of course, metaphorically, and not physi cally—has a great influence, derived from the clear ness of his head, his persistency, and the rigidity of his principles, among his party ; but his doctrines would most likely end in confining the United States to the original New England settlements or in establishing a dictatorship resting on bayonets. What prelacy, Popery, and monarchy were to the men of the first Covenant, Southern rights, slave holding included, are to Mr. Blair. Nor are they less so to Mr. Chase, who possesses, after all, the largest and most solid brain in the Cabinet, but who had no objection at one time to let the South go if it liked, believing that the system on which it was founded must in the end, and not distantly, be the means of inflicting a punishment and vengeance on the seceding States far more terrible than any either the army or navy of the North could execute. It may readily, then, be imagined how General Fre mont's proclamation increases the difficulty and augments the animosities which exist in the sections of the cabinet. Lest it might be supposed that the law confiscating slaves who had been employed by their master against the United States in any way, which Congress passed at the last moment, and which the President signed so reluctantly, has been taken by General Fremont as his authority for the edict he has put forth, it may be as well to point out that he goes so far beyond the terms of the statute as to liberate the slaves of masters who are in rebellion against the Government, and so far as his district extends, therefore, he would, if successful. liberate nearly all the slaves, because there can be but little doubt that a vast number of the masters in the South are in rebellion against the Government of the United States. To the Democrats of the North, who are at this instant talking of "guaran tees" for the South and the remission of the Consti tution in the same breath in which they speak of the vigorous prosecution of the war for the Union and denounce secession as revolution, the doctrine, founded as it is on the undefined powers of martial law, must be particularly objectionable. It may be a bold stroke of General Freniont to attach to him self a coherent mass of the Republicans, or it may be a simple act of war, without any arriere pensee. At all events, it is embarrassing. The Commander of the Forces in the West is an ambitious, bold, and enterprising man, bat it will surprise me to find he proves a very great man. He is profuse in expen diture, energetic in action, and speculative in plans, but still I doubt whether he can effect all that is expected of him with the materials at his disposal. Kentucky, only for t him, h e but object for the of so Federal muchs Government. o u l p i A new difficulty h as just sprung it u n d o e seems, notwithstanding the majority of Union men returned to her Legislature, to be about to cast her lot with the, Southern States, as Mr. Preston ad vises, or to be made the theatre of a " hellion civile in hello civile." Yesterday the Governor of .the State sent his message, and made one more effort to assert the sovereign rights of Ken tucky as an armed neutral Power in the quarrel between the so-called Confederate States and the United States of America. At this moment the Federalist troops are actually on the soil of the State, and the Confederates have just invaded it, and have seized upon positions commancling the Mississippi at Hickman, below Columbus, the latter indeed, I suspected, all the Secessionistvicinity-- of the most determined cha racter. The Governor orders them to withdraw on both sides, and m p beinglplace—as, e e as menaces the opposing forces with the arms of Kentucky. Like Randolph, he steps in with drawn sw or d between t he Co n fed e rate Norval and the Union Clenal , von with, "Hold! I command you both ! The man who stirs makes me his foe ;" then orders them off the premises to fight their battles outside. As 3et the Confederate seems most disposed to yield, possibly because be is tole rably sure of his object without any fight for it, for the position of Kentucky eXposes her to such pres sure between the upper and the nether millstobe that she must give way at last, and it is easy to see in what direction that movement will take place unless indeed she splits in two. It will require suc cess in war and great dexterity to make Kentucky safe for the Union ; greater still to recover Mis souri, in spite of the extreme weakness, feebleness, and ignorance of the Confederate leaders, and their inability to turn their advantages to account. The war of the colonies with Great Britain must have been conducted very much in the same fashion on both sides. The vast size of the States and the enor mous distances to be traversed render it impossible for mere fighters to do anything except kill and wound each other in a guerilla, till a leader, some soldier who knows something about the A B C of his profession, rises up and reduces - the efforts of his followers to a systematic mode of warfare. It is pitiabfe to see the Union distracted as it is, but I fear the condition of things will become worse instead of better. No one out of the great pit can rejoice in the sight of the people of this mighty confederacy—that had once a future which the eye of speculation tried in vain to pierce, but which must now be sought for by the eye of faith alone —turning their grand forests and mountains, their cities and villages, their glorious .plains and prairies, their rivers and seas, into scenes of blood shed, rapine, and blind rage; but unless in this hour of peril some voice is heard whichino man can yet hear, and some hand is felt which is as yet covered with clouds and darkness, the prospects before us, which black as they were a month ago, have been charged with additional gloom by the evi dences of disturbed unity in the North, cannot be regarded without tertor and dismay. " Wait till we are ready," cry the professional gentlemen, who are preparing their batteries and sharpening their tools for the great operation. " Have a little pa tience, and you will see what a cure will be effected." Alas! it will all end in mutilations—in wooden legs and arms for the poor body politic. And mean time the expense—thofees. One million two hun dred thousand dollars a-day. The people have come forward to the loan office with their tribute. As yet they have subscribed in New York about three fourths of one day's expenditure ; and the banks are to be repaid their advances. If they do not see a great national impulse in support of the Govern • meet there is little chance indeed of the 'other ad vance of 50,000,000 dols. in October, not to speak of the further sum in prospective. It is under such circumstances that the New York democrats boldly denounce the Republicans as being next in guilt to the rebels —call on the Government to offer the South a convention for the amendment and revision of the Constitution, to encourage loyal citizens in the South by ample guarantees of just and honourable concessions, and stigmatise any at tempt to turn the conflict into a war of emancipa tion as fatal to all hopes of rest or i ng the Un i on, Having thus attacked their natural enemies in their own camp, the Democrats proceed to assail the acts of the President and of the Government itself. The suspension of habeas corpus, in defiance of the At torney-General Bates's opinion, is declared to be the prerogative of the representatives of the people, and not of the Executive. The passport system, the State police system, the doctrine of Mr. Lincoln, that the Federal Government gives the States their authority, instead of deriving it from them, and the restrictions on the liberty of the press by suspend ing the transmission by mail, are unhesitatingly condemned. If the Democrats throughout the States adopt these principles, it is evident that a great blow will be given to the Government in its efforts to grapple with the difficulties around it, notwith standing the strong resolutions in favour of the war ' for the Union with which they were accompanied. Hence Cabinet Cou lens and secret sittings—hence Ministerial wanderings. The gleam of sunshine from Hatteras has thrown a dark shadow across the South,. It has revived the hopes of the North, and gilded the weathercocks of the Navy Department, not forgetting the much-abused and hard-working secretary, Mr. Gideon Welles. But for the present it is not considered prudent to attempt the reduc tion of the fort defending Beaufort, or of other works further South, where all will be put on the qua vice for defence by the recent operation. For a short time to come they will have a respite. The land forces are, as you will see, engaged in skirmishes and in the preparations for deeds to come, and so great are the issues and so thoroughly bent are the North erners in their object down here, that no one who believed in the report of Mr. Jefferson Davis's death —and there were many who did so—spoke of it as an event which would influence the course of the war or the strength of Southern resistance, although some considered it unfair that he should be per mitted to baulk their vengeance and escape the gallows. General Beauregard has been feeling his way along the front of the Confederates, from Alex andria below, to Great Falls above the capital. There are the usual doings in scoutings and shoot ings going:on daily, and Munson's hill, which is only two miles outside the Federal lines, and can be plainly seen with a glass from the Navy-yard, is occupied, and is said to be fortified by earthworks and batteries. Is General Beauregard about to try a second Sebastopol ? It would be a curious and interesting military spectacle to see "an invest ment of the south side" over again, awl two armies engaged in making approaches to lines of earth works, and defending them, with a city on the water, and a long bridge, and a Navy-yard, and a good many other things incidentally resembling the position before the Russian stronghold. Scarcely, I think. It is quite certain that he had actually commenced' his march on the 28th, of August to cross the Potomac and cut off Banks's column, when he received the news that General M'Clellan fore seeing the probability of such a movement, had baffled him by ordering Banks to withdraw from Harner's-ferry and concentrate his forces nearer to Point of Rocks. In the present state of things a serious action may occur at.any moment. From Gene ral Smith's troops up at Little Falls I hear accounts unfavourable to success in battle, as the troops are said to be in very bad order, though the officer in question is one of the best in the service. The army here seems to me in better order, and Gen. M'Clel lan considers it is making very fair progress. Still it is difficult to judge. The men are kept in their camps ; a cordon of sentries is drawn roand each regiment, and not a man is allowed to go out, un less he has a pass, or is permitted to bathe or mar ket. There have been all kinds of rumours and alarms of war—nocturnal marches of infantry and batteries through the streets. The night before last a distinguished little crowd came to my window at the small hours to ask the meaning of a movement of troops towards the Chain-bridge and Little Falls. Gen. M'Clellan, at midnight, sent out two bri gades and a reserve of guns in consequence of in telligence that the enemy had appeared in force across the river that day ; and there were the Ministers of two foreign Powers, a rich banker, and others anxious to know " if the capital was going to be attacked." We live in rather exciting times. :If Sir Wm. Armstrong had one of his guns at Munson's-hill he could do me the favour of drop ping a shell down my chimney without any great effort. As to my diary---e Story, God bless you ! I have none to tell, sir." The world cannot be much interested in hearing that one day I rode out be cause it was dry and saw the President on my way under a tree, and that another day I staid at home because it was wet, or that such a regiment marched down the Avenue one day, and looked better than another whi‘ch had preceded it the day before. If it would not prove very agreeable to chronicle small skirmishes and useless deaths of gallant ram, still lees would it be worth while to record my own personal movements in and abo u t the eaiiips; The correspondents of the American journals, who were denied passes for the last two •days, are now to leceiive Weekly orders from 'the Provost-Marshal's office. By the mail from New York next Wednesday there will be, in all pro hability, some more important and exciting news to be told to i the English public. General Beauregard, in his official report, is said (by telegraph) to say that the battle of Manassas wus artillery duel ; not very far from what your correspondent said it was. 211 E NAVY: A letter dated Valetta, Sept.:l7, says :—" Her Majesty's gunboat Assurance, 4 guns, Lieut. P. E. Luard commanding, in the absence of Commander Aynsley, sick, which left Malta on the Bth inst., returned on the 14th at 330 a.m., from Messina, 9th ; Casiellamare, 10th; Naples, 11th ; and Palermo, 12th inst. I learn by her that the fleet under Vice-Admiral Sir W. F. Martin, K.C.8., con sisting of the Marlborough, 131, flagship, Victor Emmanuel, 91, London, 90, James Watt, 91, Nep tune, 90, Liffey, 51, and the Doris; 32, saile,d from Naples on the 11th inst. for a cruise. Her IVl4jesty's ship Exmouth, 90, remained at Castellamare, and the Terrible, 21, at Naples. The Scylla, 24was at Palermo when the Assurance sailed. The British screw steamer Malacca, having .on board another section, of the Malta and Alexandria electric tele graph cable, came in on the afternoon of the 12th inst., from London 26 days, Plymouth, 17 ; and Port Mahon, 3. Mr. Sam ue l Canning, managing engineer for Messrs. Glasse, Elliott, and Co.; and a staff of electricians arrived by her. The Rangoon, which has been here two or three weeks with ano ther portion of the cable, awaiting the arrival of the Malacca, left on the 15th inst. She proceeds to the Alexandria buoy, and, after joining the ends, will pay out the cable she has on board to Bengazi. To this place the Malacca will repair in a day or two to await for her. The Malacca will then com mence laying her cable from the buoy in the Gulf of Syrtis to Bengazi, which will complete the whole line between Malta and Alexandria. The re mainder of the cable on board the Malacca, which it is expected will amount to about 50 miles, is to be coiled in a tank now being constructed on the shore of Malta harbour, to be used in case it should be wanted for repairing any part of the line. Her Majesty's ship Medina, Capt. T. A. B. Spratt, C. 8.; the Mohawk, Commander E. Howard ; and the Assurance, Lieut. Luard, have left for the scene of operations to render such assistance as may be necessary. On. board the Rangoon are Messrs. Canning,Clifford, and De Santy,a staffof electricians and labourers on the part of the owners of the cable, Messrs. Ford and Laws on the part of Govern. ment, and Mr. J. Qu!ntana, appointed to the Ben gal station. The only vessels of her Majesty's navy in port are the Hibernia (bearing the flag of Rear. Admiral Codrington, C. 8.) ; the Sanspareil, 70 (which is to return to England); the Melpomene, 51 ; the Surprise, 4 ; and the tug Hearty!' The Warrior was successfully placed in dock at Portsmouth on Saturday, the operation being car ried out with as much ease and regularity as at tends the docking of an ordinary frigate. At noon the ship's head was, brought to the entrance of the dock, and at half-,past 12 she had been warped into the desired position over her. blocks, with 15 inches to spare under her keel in the shallowest part of her block-line. The water was afterwards pumped out of the dock to the ships' 10 foot water-mark aft. The remainder was allowed to remain in under the ship's bottom, but will be pumped out this morning, and the workmen of the Thames Iron Shipbuilding Company will at once commence removing the iron launching cleats from her bows and quarters. Since her arrival on Friday she has naturally been an object of great interest to naval officers of all ranks, and by them her beauty of hull and the exquisite finish of her plating have been greatly admired. Her rig has been subjected to considerable criti cism, but the " Rifle Tower,"or gallery on her deck, has astonished all who have yet been on board from its intense uglinm. It is felt, and expressed by many, that in the Warrior England possesses a war ship as much super for to the Merseys and Emeralds of the present day as are those vessels to the Blondes and Hussars of the past. The crew of the Warrior have been berthed on board the Bellero phon hulk during the stay of the ship in dock. The Alert, 17, screw, Commander Pearse, arrived at Spithead on Saturday, from the Pacific station, sailing from Valparaiso, June 8, passing the Gulf of Peenes on the 20th June; cleared the Straits of Magellan on the 6th July ; arrived at Rio de Ja neiro on the 22d July, and sailing thence for Eng land four days afterwards. She brought home a few supernumeraries from the station, who were landed from her at Portsmouth, and orders were given her to proceed to Devonport to strip and pay off. In the Straits of Magellan the Alert passed a Russian man-of-war steamer, and off Sandy Point, in the same passage, spoke the English missionary schooner Allan Gardner. The Archer, 13, screw, Commander F. A. B. Crau ford, arrived at Spithead yesterday from the coast of Africa, and received orders to proceed on to Wool wich, where she will dismantle and pay off her crew. She sailed from Ascension on the 21st of August, arriving at Fayal on the 13th of Septem ber, where she called to coal, and sailed thence on the following day. The passage home was attended with fine weather until the vessel made the English Channel, when she fell in with strong south-west winds. During the first portion of the voyage the _ weather was exceedingly hot. The officers and men on board are all healthy. She brought home a few invalids, who were landed at Portsmouth yesterday. The Malacca, 17, steam sloop, 200 horse power, now fitting at Sheerness, Capt. G. I. Napier, is be ing completed with every despatch for foreign ser vice, and will be ready for sea in a few days. She has nearly completed her complement of men. The Orestes, 21, screw steam corvette, 400 horse power, Capt. A. H. Gardner, now fitting at Sheer ness, was inspected on Friday by Vice-Admiral W. J. Hope Johnstone, Commander-in-Chief, and his Staff. After seeing the vessel the gallant Admiral expressed great satisfaction with the manner in which it had been fitted in a very brief period. The - - ship has nearly her full complement, consisting of continuous service men who have been recently paid off from other ships. The Virago, 6, paddlewheel steam sloop, 300 horse power, now fitting at Sheerness, Commander A. J. Hope Johnstone, was inspected on Saturday, after undergoing a trial of her machinery at the measured mile off Mapling Sands. She will proceed to sea on Wednesday next. The screw steam gun-vessel Plover, 5, Comman der the Hon. A. L. Corry, from Chatham, which arrived in Plymouth on Monday last, has had de- fects made good, is filled up with coal, told ready to leave the Sound for her station, the West Coast of Africa. The sailing ship Boscawen, 70, formerly flagship to Admiral Sir Frederick Grey, on the Cape sta tion, is now fitting alongside the dockyard, Devon port, as a training ship for boys, to be stationed at Southampton. On Friday afternoon, Richard Bar rett, rigger, was standing on the cap of the main mast, and two other riggers, Samuel Jordan and Andrew Pope, were in the maintop while an effort was being made to ship the cross-trees on the main topmast head. The cross -trees were landed on the mainmast head, ready to receive the topmast as it came up. Barrett was desired to slack the lashing of the gantling, when unfortunately he let it go. The cross-trees swung off the cap and threw Bar rett to the deck, a height of about 70ft., when he received such severe injuries as caused his death shortly afterwards. One of the legs of the cross trees struck Jordan, and he would have gone over the maintop but for the activity of Pope, who threw him.self on the falling man and thus saved THE VOL UNTEERS, On Saturday afternoon — the City of London Rifle Corps, to the number of nearly 400, brigaded with the troops stationed at the camp at Aldershott. Considerable interest was created in the neighbour hood when the rumours of the visit, which had been previously announced by a local journal, were confirmed. Crowds of military and civilian spec tators assembled along the Farnborough -road to witness the arriral of the Volunteers. Soon after 12, when the brigade was expected to arrive, the rain fell heavily, and everybody feared that the day would prove anything but propitious. The City corps, under the command of Major Ross, arrived at the Farnborlugh station about 20 minutes past 12, and were received by Col. Clifford A.Q.M.G., and Capt. Twynam ; they at once formed into marching order and proceeded to the camp, headed by the bands of the 45th and 53d Regiments and the first battalion of the Bth Regiment, there being no less than four bands sent to pay the Volunteers military compliment, and welcome them to the training-ground. The London Rifles proceeded direct to the Long Val ley, where they arrived about 2 o'clock, the first brigade in front, facing the eastward ; the other brigades in succession in their rear, the cavalry forming the fourth line, with the artillery on the flanks of their respective brigades. The City were stationed on the left of the first brigade, to which they were attached, and consequently formed the left of the advanced line. Lieut.-General Sir John Pennefather and his staff arrived upon the ground at the same time. After the General had inspected the Volunteers the bands formed up in front of the saluting points, and the divisions marched past in the following order :—The artillery and cavalry in open column of batteries and squadrons in slow time, and the infantry in open column of companies at quick time. The staff of the cavalry brigade were—Major-General Lord G. Paget, C.B. ; Lieut.- Col. Devereux and one battery Royal Horse Artil lery ; Major Cureton, with one squadron sth Lancer and two squadrons 12th Lancers; Captain Halton and 16th Lancers ; Lieut.-Col. Drysdale, C. 8., and 9th Lancers. Lieut.-Col. Turner and three batteries Royal Artillery ; Captain Duff and a troop of Royal Engineers, with pontoons. Bands and drums, Ist Brigade; staff of ditto—Brigadier General Brook Taylor, two companies Royal Engineers; Colonel Haines and Ist battalion Bth King's, Lieut.-Colonel Redmond and 61st Regiment, Major Henderson and 2d battalion 16th Regment, Major Hicks and Lon don Rifles, with their band playing the tune of " Ninety-five." Bands and drums, 2d Brigade ; staff ditto—Brigadier-General Brown, Lieut.-Col. I Radcliffe and 2d battalion 20th Regiment, Major Gordon and 45th Regiment, Major Hughes and 84th Regiment, Lieu.-Col. North and Ist battalion 60th Rifles, Major M. Court and 3d battalion Mili tary Train, Lieut.-Col. O'Brien. and 4th battalion Military Train, and Captain A. Hunt and one squadron sth battalion Military Train. The Royal Horse Artilleiy passed from reverse flank into open column of squadrons at a gallop, after which the division formed in battle array. The enemy was under the command of Brigadier- General Russell, and was composed of one bat tery Royal Artillery, one squadron sth Lancers, two squadrons 12th Lancers, and the third brigade. The battle commenced by the artillery of the enemy opening fire from the summit of the Long-hill, which was quickly answered by the artillery from Burn's-plain ; then each party ad vanced till they arrived within about 200 yards of each other, and at this moment the cavalry of the enemy charged the Volunteers at a dashing pace. The latter formed into rallying square, and received the Lancers with a smart fire, driving them away to the rear. The Volunteers then extended, after which they closed and retired in rear of the first brigade, who were advancing in line, and a severe engagement ensued. The enemy then 'crossed Basingstoke Canal by pontoons thrown across, which closed the battle. The Volunteers were ad dressed in complimentary terms by Brigadier -Gene ral Russell, after which the troops returned to their quarters, any. the London Brigade to the Queen's Hotel, North Camp, where they dined. The Council of the 39th Middlesex (Finsbury) Rifles have challenged the 40th Middlesex (Central London) to a match for £2O. A spirited competi tion is anticipated, as both corps contain some ex cellent marksmen. The prizes which were recently competed for by the 39th were presented to the winners on the parade-ground in Coldbath-square in the presence of a large number of the inhabitants of Clerkenwell and the neighbourhood. After.the presentation the commandant, Lieutenant-Colonel Colvill, briefly addressed the corps, and compli mented them on the effleiency they had shown in rifle practice. In the course of his remarks he said that he was aware that a journey to Plumstead was attended with inconvenience, but that he hoped before long they might be enabled to obtain a blitt nearer home. The ,members of the 4th company of the 36th Middlesex Rifles will compete for their prizes on Monday next. They will consist of a silver tankard and two silver cups, given by Captain Penny ; an electro-silver cup, presented by Sergeant Laybourne ; and an Enfield rifle, given by Sergeant Hill. A Volunteer ball, in aid of the funds for the erection of a rifle butt for the use of the 19th Middlesex (Working Men's College) Rifle Volunteers is announced to take place at the Philharmonic hall next month. SOUTHAMPTON, Sunday.—The Portuguese W ar steamer Bartholomew Dias, commanded by his Royal High ness the Duke of Oporto, and accompanied by the Estifania, another steamer of the Portuguese navy, arrived in the river this afternoon from Lisbon, bringing the newly-mar ried Prince and Princess Hohenzollern, ea route for Ant werp. The royal party were received by the Portuguese and Prussian Ambassadors, and proceed hence to London by the South-Western Railway.
