THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. (From the Special Correspondent of the Times.) 'WASHINGTON, JULY 12. 1 arrived in Wabhington the evening before the meeting of Congress. On my way I had been amused by seeing grave men enter the car with long wands and odd bulging projections at the end thereof covered with bright paper, which I was in formed were " rockets"—in fact, the citizens were preparing for their great jubilee, " the 4th of July," and fathers of families were providing for the wants of their families in Catherine wheels, Roman candles, and blue lights all along the line. But for the density of the crowd before Willard's and the other hotels along the great avenue which runs from the State Department and the American Whitehall to the unfinished pile of the Capitol, one familiar with Washington would not have perceived any in dication that the most important session of the United States' Congress that ever took place was on the eve of being opened. He would, indeed, have seen many soldiers in the streets, many flags floating from the houses, commissariat carts, and the various waggons of volunteer regiments rattling over the stones, and all the signs of war or of a great mili tary demonstration ; but there were no placards on the walls—no parade of pamphlets and speeches, such as might have been seen in the earlier part of the contest while there was yet room for argument and men's minds were vehicles of debate. The follow ing morning opened with all the accustomed pomp of martial display ; the blast of trumpets, the roll of drums, the roar of distant guns, the tramp of men reverberated through the highways, and the New York regiments passed in review before the President and many of his Ministers in front of the White House. What a change since the heir of England stood there by the side of one who may prove to be the last President of the United States —united, at least, as a voluntary entirety ! The feeble courtliness of Mr. Buchanan is replaced by the straightforward purpose and energy of Mr. Lincoln, on whose broad shoulders has fallen the grievous legacy of his predecessor's vacillation and errors ; and the letters, despatches, and messages which nurtured civil war are succeeded let speeches to armed legions who are about to end it by conquest or in defeat. It is probable the English public me already familiar with the lines of the sallow, long, and strongly marked face of the present President, which to me is indicative of shrewdness, honesty, and some love of humour ; the eyes are deeply set, dark, not very bright, but penetrating and kindly ; the tall lank body, set on long loose legs, with powerful arms swinging by his sides, is inclined with a slight stoop forwards, and in his movements, if there be not much grace, there is no lack of vigour. Beside him, towering over the crowd and topping even the President, stands General Scott, the veteran, but for whom it is not too much to say, in spite of heaven-born warriors and citizen soldiers in civil life, just as Cabinets exist in the Militia and Volunteer regiments, the President would probably not be there at all. The bold leonine front of the man, the massive head and broad forehead, the full fine eye, the mouth broad and distinctly cut, and the square resolute chin arrest attention and recall the types of some better known commanders ; but Americans are justly proud of one who in a military career extending beyond half a century has been uniformly successful, and who has not been less fortunate in any diplomatic or political functions he has undertaken to discharge. The Virginians, who burnt the house in which he was born lest it should see the birth of another traitor, and who changed the name of a county in their State called after him to that of Davis, will not do him any harm with posterity. His look and manner indicate that his mind is still vigorous, though the snows of 76 winters have wreathed their honours round his brow ; but when the towerlike frame and great torso are set in motion there is a feebleness in gait and a want of power in the limbs which show that age and wounds and hard la bour have taken their hostages and securities. When one turns to the keen, clear face of Mr. Seward, strongly reminding us of Mr. Douglas Jerrold, the contrast between the military charac ter, as developed in the principal support of the Cabinet and of the Union, and the civilian element displayed in the statesman who is considered to be the best politician for American purposes in the M inistry, is very striking. The march past of the troops would not be thought much of by the critic in such matters who has seen the vivacity of the French allure, the measured beat of Austrian infantry, the automaton , precision of the Muscovite line, or the solid tread of the British battalions, but when it was known that these regiments had been called out at a few weeks' notice as volunteers, and were equipped and sent to a Government which last April had neither men, money, nor credit, and was now at the head of an enormous army, with all the resources of the Free States of America at its back, the moral force of the fact overwhelmed all the little exceptions to uniform, arms, and that which time alone can give— discipline. The American element is not aa yet so large in these troops as one would have a right to expect in American troops, and when the Italian and other foreign companies threw bouquets and sprigs of green on the estrude and at the feet of the President and the General, the vivas uttered in "Various tngues were the charters of the emigrants to freedom, end the rebuke of those Americans who would accept the labours and the blood of those men, and refuse them all right save that of living in and dying for the Union. Let us pass over the noise and crepitations of the day, which were like a pro traction of a bombardment at Cremorne, or of a hattlepiece in fireworks in bygone Vauxhall. The Congress sat and elected their officers, and the rumour went forth that the Message would be de livered in the morning. In front the lines were quiet, but it was reported the enemy made a de monstration in the morning which was not perse vered in. There has th us bee many a Southern pro phecy falsified, and the 4th July, 1861, has seen the opening of the 37th Congress of the United States. At night 1 visited the camp of the 12th New York Regiment, commanded by Col. Butterfield, which i s situated in one of the squares on the outskirts of the city. The huts and tents were gaily illuminated with lamps, and a crowd of well - dressed people, never tired of the novelty of actua l military life, st ro ll ed about among the lines, and enjoyed the music of the regimental bands. There was no drunkenness, but a great deal of gaiety, and finally a dance before visitors were compelled to withdraw. As an in stance of the good conduct of the regiment, let me say that the colonel gave all the men leave, en masse, for the day up to 4 o'clock. At that hour, every man had returned out of the 900 except two, who afterwards appeared much bemused with lager beer. And this is a large city, with many grog shops, and spirits very cheap, and dreadfully in toxicating. The sick list shows 30 invalids, mostly suffering from diarrhcea. On the surgeon's table lay returns furnished by Professor Henry, of the Smithsonian, to be filled up with statistical facts as to the birthplace, age, height, weight, and size of chest &c., of the men. The sheet I looked at referred to a section of 12 men. Of these only two were citizens of the United States, born therein, four were natives of England, six were Irishmen, and of these one half showed more beef and bone and stature than their comrades. Colonel Butterfield is a New York merchant, who held Militia rank before he commanded this regiment, and his men are, Without a word of flattery, a credit to him and his officers. The following day (July 5) I went to the Capitol to hear the President's Message read, Z it through ch the courtesy of the Hon. Charles Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relation's C hairman, a nd oftb Senator, and of the Hon. J. Wilson, Senator, I Was introduced Committee on Military Affairs and Pnatrodut.ed on the floor of the Senate. le halls and will, when cornpi e s t r in the vast building which trite, and present fitlyexternally Occupy a commanding altogether sustained by the • grand aspect, not nterior, were tolerably well filled with p e ople , but thereea Was no crowd, no rcely even the noise earserness, no excitement—, of conversation. The heavy ill-ventilated cham ber in which the Senate sits Was b y no means crowded, although free ingre ss was Permitted till the 'Vice-President took the chair, and the sitting commenced ; nor were the comm o . dioua s—at least very S pacious—galleries op en toe 'HE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, ,TOIX 29, 7,1861. the public at all thronged, even in the ladies' seats. But many citizens, and among them a num- ber of private soldiers, seemed to take pleasure in sitting down in the chairs assigned to individual Senators, and just before the Senate proceeded to business, a fine snore, proceeding from a bearded and belted man in a scarlet shirt, showed that one of the Garibaldini, a corps of whom are quartered here, had sought oblivion in the very centre of de bate. A more dreary proceeding than the reading of the Message cannot well be conceived. The clerk's voice was low and monotonous, the silence in the Senate was unbroken by a single note of approba tion, but in the other House I hear there was more animation. An attempt was made to sit with closed doors for the better despatch of business, but this was not agreed to by the great majority. An enthusiatic lady who came over with me in the Arabia was very indignant with a countryman of hers because he affirmed that he had never seen a more dignified assembly than the House of Lords. 0 What !" she said, " do you mean for one moment to say that they are equal in appearance to our Sena tors ?" In one respect the Senators are certainly des titute of the air of wisdom which is given by white hairs and venerable aspect. Few of the Senators are men of advanced years, and Mr. Crittenden is pointed out as a kind of obsolete semi-fossilised politician, as much out of place as Nestor would be in a revel with Achilles and Patroclus. In an other phase they are not so dignified. They do not consider it unbecoming to write at their desks in the midst of debate. Writing is a bare mechanical process, after all, and no man looks well while he is engaged at it. Senators are like other men. Per haps they are a little fonder of stationery. When the last Congress was coming to a close I saw a large man, covered with perspi ra ti on, d ragg i ng a huge box after him into the railway station. He was followed by two other men with similar boxes. This was a Senator who was taking home by mail his supply of public stationery contained in these boxes. Then it must be " conceded" that dress has something to do with the aspect of a deliberative body, and that Jim Crow hats and linen blouses I would detract from the appearance of the most aristocratic mob in the world. Pretermitting these things in the United States' Senate, there are noble heads, commanding forms, and high intelligences, nearly equal to the greatest of the issues before them. Business is transacted colloquially and easily, but there is, I am told, a practice of 'making set orations which at one time threatened the House of Commons. The young gentlemen who act as pages, or messengers, would not violate Republican sim plicity by its appropriate neatness of attire, but they, as well as all the servants of the house, and the employes of the public all over the State, display a readiness to oblige, a civility, and courtesy which produce a pleasing surprise in the mind ofan English man who remembers how the gentlemen at home, not liable to removal at the end of their four years, assist him in his inquiries at the Circumlocution office. But as we remark such trifles the Message is going on. Mr. Hamblin, Vice-President, who is popularly believed in the South to be a gentleman of colour, sits in his chair above the clerk who reads it very much as a Commissioner in Bank ruptcy may be seen in Basinghall-street listening to the perusal of a document from an assignee. The Message is written on separate sheets ; it has been brought in by the President's secretaries, I believe, who appear on the floor and simply an nounce their object, and the clerk then, by order of the Vice-President, reads it sheet by sheet at the desk upstanding. The Senators sit and listen. Now and then one hears a whisper "It's too long." " What's tin use of going into that ?" " That point is not badly put." The demand for men and money pr du - Jed no sensation. They would have swallowed twice the totals readily and silently. The general impression seemed to be that the argu mentative- and historical parts of the message were unnecessary, but, as a Senator observed, the people had a right to know the facts of the case as they ap peared to the mind of the Executive in making such propositions, and that nothing sho-ild be taken for granted or be supposed to be known to those who were so materially interested in the result. JULY 6, Marching of many troops through the city. Some soldiers have a bad habit of begging money for whisky. 1 here was a riot in consequence of the mur der of a soldier in a house in the city. His comrades assembled to avenge his death, and burnt three houses of the same kind ; finally they were dispersed by United States' Dragoons. There has also been a mutiny at Alexandria in a foreign regiment, and a captain refused to obey the orders of his colonel, was supported by his company, and quietly marched away into Washington, where he gave up his sword, and surrendered to be tried by court-martial. Volunteers are not regulars, but their mutinies and riots are not so dangerous as those of regulars. But the mischief which threatens the United State' forces arises out of the jealousies which exist be tween the regular army and the volunteers. The civilian Generals, or " political " chiefs, are ob noxious to the regulars, and General Scott has a battle to fight very much like that in which Lord Clyde contended so vigorously and successfully against his " politicals" and "civilians" in India. There are men high in influence and actual capacity for good or evil who declare that the United States' army is a nuisance, and that it would be much better to employ good stump orators, or men who know . the wants of the "people," to conduct the United States' armies, than men who have studied, at least theoretically, the art of making war all their lives. It may be readily imagined how General Scott deals with such opinions and their organs. All these gentlemen are for pushing on ahead and making a general attack on the enemy. They think an army is like a round of canister which can be fired off whenever the match is applied. It strikes me from what I have seen that the Federal troops will have to be managed with skill and caution in face of the Confederates. The latter will fight with animosity and desperation, tempered by military knowledge of a certain kind that may neutralize the advantages possessed in numbers by the North as well as other points. The politicians are eager to grasp the prize and to bring their machinery into play, to round off its rough edges, forgetting that they must first clear the ground by armed force for the lever. Every man, of course, here believes he can write a leading article, row a boat, drive a gig, Or fight a b a ttl e , an d I h ave h ear d o f men, w i t h high military titles, who for their lives could not form taik about n elementaryot the onl y - difficultie s in squ are or occupy a f arm -h ouse , ope ra ti ons in the field as if they were portions of the witharithmetic h the Cab w hi e table. in e These are t has to:contend, for there have been views enter tained on questions of foreign policy which would have ended in most serious complications had they not been fortunately overcome or abandoned. The danger from this source, or rather the cause of it, still exists. JULY 7, , Last night an intoxicated warrior addressed me from beneath a tree, at the base of which he was re cumbent, in an attitude of utter abandon, and de manded "baksheesh," for quoth he, " I'm a Britches subjix, and I wanna a drink." I exposed to him lucidly the inconsecutiveness of his logical formula, but he had detected my nationality and insisted on his right to a subsidy. As I could run, albeit not like the swift Camilla, and he, I surmised, could not, I maintained my thesis. " Dy'e-liv'-in-the city ?" " No, I don't," was my reply. " Then I con gratulate you. There's no jistis for Britches subjix —not to-drop to drink in the whole place." The soleier was mistaken, but did not require any demonstration of the fact, and I mention the circum• stance only for the purponof pointing out the great increase of British subjects which has suddenly taken Place here. The Legation is overwhelmed with them, and this war would give Queen Victoria or restore to her many thousands of devoted sub jects if they were only encouraged in their affec tionate efforts to return to the fold: There is also a large accession to the number of Canadians in the world. Tt e United States could, nevertheless, get up an army of a million of foreign subjects who are now naturalised here, and could fight its battles with enormous hosts of Germans, Irish, Italians; French, English, Scotch, Swedes, Norwegians, and Dutch. When I see some of the strong fellows who use our speech, and think of the difficulties of our recruiting in the Crimean war, I cannot but regret the causes, whatever they may be, which deprived the British Isles of such material. The Catherine wheel is busy throwing out sparks and fiery flashes all round the world, but as it throws them off it consumes, and at last there remains but a burnt up and blackened cinder. JULY 8. IR the morning I received from General Scott a flattering passe-partout for the army, but, in addi tion, I was armed with a British passport and an ordinary pass from General Mansfield's office. No unauthorised person is allowed to visit any of the military posts, but there is little real efficacy in any system of passes on a large scale. The visitors most formidable to camps are diseases, and although this army is not very sickly there are certain signs in some of the corps that care will be required to prevent the spread of epidemics and diarrhoea, scurvy, and dysentery. There is, indeed, a Sanitary Commission already at work, headed by a distin guished Unitarian minister, Dr. Bellows, whose qualifications for hunting bad smells are not obvious, and provided with the services, as secretary, of the indefatigable, earnest, zealous author of the works on slavery which have attracted attention in Eng land, Mr. F. L. Olmsted. On it are medical men and chemists of reputation, and it is to be hoped their re presentations will be better attended to than those of Sir J. M'Neil and Dr. Sutherland, though their mission is I fear not more popular among command ing officers. They complain of want of authority, but suggestions have been made to them, which will probably be embodied in I. bill. One of Grant's cooking waggons would probably be an acceptable present as a pattern, for there is more mischief in bad cooking than in bad smells, and the food of the American soldier does not appear calculated to keep men healthy in camp. Chollett's preparations are about being introduced, and the vendors of pre served meats have a great career before them, nor are the holders of light wines likely to want a market. As a Confederate aide-decamp said, "In war times we expect nothing better than grape and canister." In this connexion, as our Ameri can brethren are pleased to say, I may, as an in stance of the knowledge and temper displayed by some journals in New York as to English affairs, and, above all, English military history, re late that one of them recently in an elaborate article dwelt upon the great misery and destitution of the British army in the Crimea and the neglect of the Government, at the very time that the Em peror Napoleon, with a provident foresight, had sent out -no less a person than the famous French cook Soyer to dress the food of his battalions ! This, however, was not quite so surprising as the state ment in another paper. I think, that the English infantry at Inkermann were charged by cavalry, and beat them back by the elegant and simple ex pedient of forming in line four deep! In the evening I was invited by Mr. Blair, father of the Postmaster-General, to accompany him on a visit to Arlington Heights, across the Potomac, which are the headquarters of the Brigadier-Gene ral M'Dowell, commanding the troops which cover Washington on the South. Mr. Blair is well known as one of the oldest and most prominent, able, and active members of the Republican party, and ho is also one who was persuaded long ago that the pre sent conflict was inevitable, and that it would time sooner or later in consequence of the hold which the " treason" of Secession had taken on the minds of the Southern people. He has lived to see his judg ment verified. How short American history seems when we see Washington menaced with hostile armies drawn from the States of the Union, and speak to men who have seen in the flesh the man who gave his name to this capital ! "I've stood upon Achilles' tomb And heard Troy doubted—Time may doubt of Rome." To the Americans of the North it is little short of blasphemy to doubt of the Union, which is now dis solved by rebellion, and can only be cemented again by blood. The motto of Belgium is " L'Union fait la force ;" the motto of the Re-United States ought to be "La Force fait l'Union." I would sooner outrage all the orthodoxies in Boston than declare my belief, in that city, that Great Britain will out live the great Republic, though it may not be better to be blasphemous and live than to be honest and be pelted to death. The real Northern Union man probably believes in his soul as he takes down his musket to fight against the citi zens of 11 Confederate States, that when the famous New Zealander, with an eye for the pic turesque, takes his seat on the broken arch of Lon don-bridge to sketch the ruins of St. Paul's, a United States' passport will be in the pocket of the enter prising member of the Hakodadi Travellers', and that a New England policeman will be in attend ance to show the visitors over the remains of the British empire. IRELAND. DUBLIN, SATURDAY. There is a feeling of disappointment in some quarters that an Irishman has not been appointed Chief Secretary for Ireland ; though it is admitted that it would be impossible to select any Irishman who would unite the suffrages of all parties. But among the English members of Parliament, I am sure there is not one whose appointment would be so generally acceptable as the one that has been made. Sir Robert Peel has given offence to the Ultramontane party by his allusions to the Papacy, and his sympathy with the Italians ; but the Roman Catholics do not apprehend that his advocacy of freedom and good government in Italy will render him less zealous in upholding and enforcing in Ireland the principles that he has so eloquently advocated in Parliament, while his well-known fair ness and generosity will win fir him the confidence of the nation. The Daily Express, the leading Conservative organ here, having referred to Mr. Cardwell's removal to the Duchy of Lancaster says : The selection of his successor is quite a surprise to us, and we cannot say a disagreeable one. Who could have thought that we should have another Sir Robert Peel as Chief Secretary for Ireland ? How different the two men, though father and son ! —but not more different than the times in which each was bound to serve his official apprenticeship in Dublin Castle. The present Sir Rob=rt has not much of the wisdom of the serpent, but then he has not fallen upon a generation of vipers. It is much easier to rule 6,000,000 of people, well fed, than 8,000,000 half-starved, especially when the well-fed people are destitute of political grievances, and the half-started people had an overwhelming number of them, real and imaginary—the imaginary being the source of the greatest misery and the most vehement agitation. The dash and almost reckless honesty and candour of Sir Robert Peel made us think sometimes that a little of the Anglo- Irish blood had somehow got into his veins, or that his father, while residing in Ireland, had imbibed from the atmosphere something of the national spirit which comes out in the genial and generous temperament of his son. The present Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel, Chief Secretary for Ireland, must have unbounded respect for the memory of the illus trious statesman whose name he bears ; but we trust his personal acquaintance with Ireland will soon convince him that in one particular, at all events, his father, with all his enlightened views and practical wisdom, evinced more prejudice than prudence—that is, when he ordered in his will that none of his money should be invested in Irish pro perty." The 13 €? fast News Letter, another influential Conservative journal, sass:— i‘ We look upon this appointment h as one of the best that Lord Palm ersto right hon. baronet applies his asmade, and, if the we eeryshall great talents to the business of the office, eery his. Cardwell." d energy i„ soon have re ason to rejoice at the substitution for the weakness and vacillation of i This, I have reason to believe , will be found w t e o l be the general opinion of the country. The Commissioners of Education in Ireland who have charge of the Royal schools and the diocesan schools, have submitted to the Lord Lieutenant their report for 1860 61, which has been published. It is, as usual, brief and rather meagre. It is of a three fold character, referring to the course of instruction in the schools, the condition of the school premises, and the management of the estates and funds which constitute the respective endowments. With respect to the Royal schools, the Commissioners, with the assistance and advice of certain Fellows of Trinity College, have prescribed as a qualification for the competitive examination for the "Royal Scholar- ships" founded by them, an extensive course of study in English literature, as well as in science and modern languages, in addition to the former re quirements which were more confined to classical studies. This new curriculum is now in operation, and has Intl with the marked approbation of the masters of those schools to which the Royal scholarships are attached. There are 30 "Royal Scholars" on their books, who receive in half-yearly payments various sums, the highest in amount being £5O per annum. These scholarships are tenable for five years, but they become forfeited unless the holders of them shall in each year of their collegiate course obtain a certain number of honours, scientific or classical a stimulus to continued exertion being thus added to the successful competition which won these valuable distinctions. The competitors for them must have been at least three years pupils in: one or other of the Royal schools. The object of the exhibitions is to enable the holders to pass through the Dublin University. _ The other endowed schools over which the Com missioners have not such direct control, have also extended their course of study, so as to embrace more of science, English literature, and modern lan guages. The diocesan schools are represented to be in the same unsatisfactory state so frequently sub mitted to the notice of the Government by the Com missioners in their former annual reports. In con sequence of the inefficient state of the Limerick district school, and the prolonged absence of the master, the Commissioners were obliged to order a visitation, which resulted in his resignation. The right to appoint his successor is vested in the Lord Lieutenant. This report proves the necessity of a legislative measure by which the endowments of those schools could be turned to better account for the promotion of middle-class education, of which there is a great want in Ireland. The endowed schools are the most expensive schools in the country, and it is quite manifest that their benefits do not extend, except in a very small degree, to the classes for which they were designed, while the Queen's Colleges are suffer ing from want of good intermediate'schools to feed them. It is time that some good to the country should come from the Endowed Schools Comm's sion—which produced the most bulky of blue books, and nothing else yet. Here is work for our ne•w Chief Secretary. discover the murderers. She was again at Sydney 1 on the 13th of July, when Capt. Loring's commis sion as 2d class Commodore arrived by mail. In Feb., 1860, the Iris was relieved by the screw steam ship Pelorus, Commodore F. B. P. Seymour, to re turn to England to be paid off, but owing to the re bellion breaking out in New Zealand she went there to render assistance. On the 10th of Aptil she left Auckland, in charge of Capt. C. G. H. Yemen, for Chatham, to be paid off. She has had but very little sickness during the four years and six months she has been away. The Sharpshooter, 6, screw, Lieut.-Commander C. Gibbons, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from the West Coast of Africa, and is ordered into Portsmouth harbour to clear out stores and pay off. She sailed from Sierra Leone on the 19th June, from Goree on the 25th June, called in at Fayal, and said again thence on the 17th inst. Fine weather was experienced up to leaving Fayal, when strong north-west and westerly winds were fallen in with, which continued the remainder of the voyage. The French Imperial steam yacht Prince Jerome, with Prince Napoleon and the Princess Mathilde on board, sailed from Fayal, it was supposed for Ame• rice, two days previous to the Sharpshooter leaving for England. The entry of smiths, platers, boiler-makers, and other mechanics to be employed on the Achilles, has commenced at Chatham dockyard, but up till now only a small proportion of the number have been taken on. There are still vacancies for good mechanics. Mr. Baskcomb, one of the foremen at Woolwich-dockyard, who has been employed in superintending the construction and fitting of the Warrior, will attend at Chatham dockyard on alter nate days, during the time the Achilles is in pro gress, to superintend the building of that iron frigate. The following appointments were made on Satur day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. W. Clarke, to the Neptune, and Mr. G. G. Brodie, sub-Lieut., to the Revenge. THE ARMY. The 10th Hussars, at present stationed at Nor wich, Ipswich, and Northampton, have been in spected by Major-Gen. Lawrenson. The inspection of the troops of the regiment lying at Norwich was noticed in The Sun of Thursday. Major-Gen. Law rence afterwards continued his inspection at Ipswich. The regiment—or at any rate a portion of it—is expected to leave for York in Sept. The transport Lady Ann, 745 tons, Capt. James Webb, belonging to Messrs. D. Dunbar and Sons, from Calcutta, March 23, arrived all well off Ply mouth on Saturday. She embarked in India, 7 officers, 2 officers' wives, 232 men, 19 women, and 23 children belonging to the Royal Artillery and 6th Carabineers. She put in at the Cape on the Ist and St. Helena on the 19th of Stine. The head-quarters of the 24th Regiment, under the command of Major Lutman, disembarked from the Sirocco troopship, at Portsmouth dockyard, on Saturday, on their return from India, and marched into quarters in the garrison at the Clarence Bar racks. They are a fine body of men. The sth (Northumberland Fusile ers) Regiment was inspected at Portsmouth on Saturday by Major- Gen. Lord W. Paulet, C.B. This regiment has but very recently returned from India. A number of men have volunteered into regiments short of their full complement from the depot bat talions at the camp at Colchester, and small draughts have left to join the Ist battalion 161 h Foot and 21st Regiment at Shorncliffe, the Ist battalion 12th Regiment at Walmer, the 6th Regiment at Canter bury, and the 53d and 84th at Aldershott. The force at Colchester, which has also been reduced of late by draughts for India, now amounts to between 1,500 and 2,000. The fortification of Portsdown-hill has been fairly commenced by Messrs. Baker, of Lambeth. Various alterations and repairs are about to be executed at the Martello towers at Shotley, Walton Ferry, Landguard Fort, and Walton-on-the-Cliff, on the Suffolk coast. At Shotley one of the towers has already undergone reparation, and a party of artillery from Woolwich have been mounting .8-inch and 68-pounder guns upon it. Lieut.-Col. T. B. Collinson, second in command at the headquarters of the Royal Engineers, Chat ham, having been placed on the staff of the establish ment, and appointed instructor in practical archi tecture, will be succeeded by Lieut.-Col. J. F. M. Browne, C. 8., who is now on the passage home from the Mauritius. The appointment of Lieut. Col. Collinson, as instructor in architecture, will supply a want which has long been experienced at the Royal Engineer establishment. Lieut. G. D. Pritchard has been ordered to pro ceed from Chatham to Harwich to do duty with the Royal Engineers at that station. The opening of the new and elegant suite of mess rooms recently erected at Brompton Barracks, Chatham, for the officers attached to the Royal En gineer establishment, will take place to-day with a grand banquet, at which it is understood his Royal Highness tho Duke of Cambridge, who is Colonel in-Chief of the Royal Engineers, together with Gen. Sir J. F. Burgoyne, G.C.8., R.E., Inspector- General of Fortifications, and several other distin guished officers, will be present. On Saturday the preliminary arrangements were made for a review of the entire force of the garrison, to be held to-day, by his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief. Lieut. Henry E. C. Robinson was appointed on Friday to her Majesty's ship Virago. Captain M. S. Nolloth has been appointed to the Princess Charlotte, and naval officer in charge of naval establishments at Hong Kong. THE COMET-REMARKABLE FACTS. At the last sitting of the Academy of Sciences, M. Elie de Beaumont read a letter from Dr. Mon tucci, in which the latter described a remarkable phenomenon which he witnessed in September, 1858, when Donati's great comet was in all its splendour, viz., the gradual fading and subsequent total disappearance of the comet, followed by its sudden reappearance about a minute after. Dr. Montucci describes this phenomenon as follow I was at Versailles in company with another per son, who is ready to confirm the fact. While we were both contemplating the beautiful apparition in the heavens, we perceived its light to fade very rapidly, until the whole comet was reduced to a luminous point at the nucleus. At length even this point disappeared completely, leaving not a vestige of the comet in the clear azure of the sky. About a minute afterwards the nucleus reappeared as a brilliant point, and immediately, with much greater rapidity than that of the extinction, the magnificent tail shot out again in all its splendour. This phenomenon, which had lasted about five minutes in all, occurred five or six times that same evening, and we observed it on some of the following nights, though on others we watched for it in vain. There was most certainly no interposition whatever either of a cloud or any other vaporous film ; the nucleus seemed to absorb the light of the tail, from the extremity to the centre ; its own extinction was like that of a candle by a blast of wind, and the reappearance of the tail resembled the forcible ejection of water from a pipe in the form of a jet." We may mention that a phenomenon of the same kind was observed by a gentleman and his family in this year's comet on the 4th inst., when the tail was seen very gradually to fade. and at length disappear completely, as if blown away by a current of air, the nucleus alone remaining visible; after a short interval the tail reappeared in its former brilliancy. M. Leverrier expresses great doubts as to Mr. Hind's supposition of the earth's having passed through or near the cemetery matter, and states that there are not suf ficient data to solve the question. A communica tion was also read from Father Secchi of Rome about the comet. He repeats his former assertion —viz., that the tail was 118 degrees in length, and explains the discrepancy existing between his state ment and that of the Paris astronomers, who esti mated it at 45 degrees, by mentioning the impor tant fact that the comet had a double tail, one within the other. The exterior tail, measuring 8 degrees in breadth, was very luminous, and only extended to 45 degrees ; but the inner one, con sisting of a narrow and much weaker streak of light, extended much farther, and ended in the milky way, near the stars Epsilsn and Zeta Aquilre. Father Seeehi believes that this second tail was not visible at Paris. He adds that the polarisation of the light of the tail was very strong, but that the light of the nucleus did not present any traces of polarisation polarisation until the 3d of July, and even th en no t f very strong. Till? CHARGE OF STABBING A LADY. On Saturday evening an inquest was held at the King's Arms Tavern, Great Portland-street, by Mr. Brent, the deputy coroner, on the body of Mrs. Jane Janette Cathrey, a woman about 46 years of age, who lost her life through being stabbed in the ab •. domen by Mr. Richard Austwick Westbrook, a solicitor, residing in the house of the deceased, No. 3, New Cavendish-street. The jury having been swon, and viewed the body, Mr. Thomas Maclean Knowman Cathrey, who seemedmuch affected, said,—l lived with my mother 1 at 3, New Cavendish-street. I am in the office of I au engineer. The deceased was my mother. She had been separated for some years from my father, Mr. Werner Cathrey, who was in the army, and was a captain in the Hussars, but is now in Australia. My mother let as much of the house as she could. Mrs. Bryant and her family occupied the top room. Mr. Westbrook used to board and lodge with us as a friend. We had known him many years. I was not present at the death of my mother, but I identify her body. The sad occurrence took place about one o'clock on Wednesday morning. We—my mother, Mrs. Bryant, Mr. Westbrook, and myself—came from the opera in a cab, and there was a dispute about something that occurred at the oaera after supper. We had met a lady there who did not ap pear to wish to be seen. It became an angry altercation. I was standing with Mrs. Bryant near the door, talking to my mother, when I saw the knife pass or thrown across the table. It appeared to strike my mother flat, and I believe it fell on the table, but I afterwards understood my mother drew it out and put it on the table. By a Juror—There were blows before the knife struck, but I was not in the room. I heard so from Mrs. Bryant. I flew at Mr. Westbrook, and I believe I struck him. Coroner—Of course, thinking the knife had been thrown at your mother ? Witness—Yes. Mra. Bryant and my mother separated us. My mother said at first that she was not wounded. She then went up stairs and showed the wound to Mrs. Bryant. I was told to go for a doctor, and I did so —;for Mr. 'Young . , who is here. Mr. Young came and said the wound was serious, but he thought there was no danger. My mother said " I am wounded, but I do not think it serious." Mr. Young attended my mother up to Thursday morning, and administered a quantity of medicine, but it took no effect. My mother passed a bad night. I found a change take place at 6 the next morning, and went twice for Mr. Young, but before he arrived my mother died— about 8 on Thursday morning. Mr. Westbrook was no relation. He had been a lodger in our house in Buckingham-street, Strand, about a year and a half. He was not a single man, but three months ago obtained a divorce from his wife. I saw him strike my mother once, but that was more of a push than a blow. He was allowed to do as he liked in the house. My mother said the blow on her nose was the effect of an accident, but I have since heard that it was not. I believe he hurt my_mother's arm in Buckingham street 2-1- years ago. By the Coroner—There were mutual recrimina tions. The lady at the opera appeared to give my mother the cold shoulder. By a Juror—l do not believe there was any pre meditated malice. I believe the wound was acci dental. By another Juror—My mother lived with Mr. Westbrook on the terms of a friend. It was a table knife, but one that had been worn. I took up a knife that I believe did it—the only one that it was possible to do it with. Coroner—ls that the knife ? Witness—Yes; but it has been cleaned. The Coroner's officer said it had not. Witness—lt is the same knife in my belief, but I cannot swear, because it was dirty then. [lt is an ordinary table-knife, but sharp both back and front from being worn.] I saw the knife come against my mother. My mother never wore stays, and had on a thin dress and three petticoats. Coroner—lt seems almost an incredible thing this knife should have done it. Witness—The knife was used at supper. I saw Mr. Westbrook make a movement with his hand and the knife go across the table as if it left him. They had moved' from their places at the table. They were on friendly terms, but words might pass between them. Mr. Westbrook is a violent-tem pered man, and I have at times fallen out with him. Mr. Westbrook is not in practice at present, but I believe his name has been put in the Law List this year. He has always retained his certificate, but not practised. Coroner—Do you blame any one for your mother's death ? It was caused by the knife. Mr. Westbrook begged of me to send for a doctor. MI s. Catherine Bryant, residing in the same house, said—l am the wife of a wine merchant, who is out of London. I am the adopted daughter of the deceased. The only persons residing in the house were the deceased, Mr. Westbrook, Mr. Cathrey, Mrs. James, Mrs. Cathrey's maid and two servants, and myself and two children. We had all our meals together. We all went to the opera and spent a pleasant evening, but a difference arose through a lady offering a slight to the deceased. I said the lady slighted deceased, and Mr. Westbrook said, "I am glad you noticed it. lam of the same opi nion ;" but Mrs. Cathrey said she - did not think the lady had. That is all the quarrel was about. By a Juror —Mr. Westbrook is a passionate man. After supper I wished Mrs. Cathrey to go to bed. Witness—Mr. Westbrook seemed much agitated, but was perfectly sober. I saw Mr. Westbrook go to the table, take up a knife, and throw it at Mrs. Cathrey. I then saw Mrs. Cathrey take up the knife and throw it to the ground. Young Mr. Cath rey seeing this got up and struck Mr. Westbrook and marked his eye. I got between them, and Mrs. Cathrey whispered something to Mr. Westbrook. Mr. Westbrook then said, " For God's sake send for a surgeon ! for I believe I have wounded Mrs. Cathrey, but I did not intend to do so." Mr. Cath rey went immediately for a surgeon, and the deceased then said she wished to see me alone, I then locked the door, and deceased said, " Pray nerve yourself, for I think I am wounded more than I expected." She then asked me to undress her, and I did so, and saw a wound, and was much shocked. She begged me not to be alarmed, for it was " a mere scratch." and she aid not feel the knife enter nor when she pulled it out." It bled very slightly for such a wound. The deceased said, I think I shall die, but I gave Mr. Westbrook great provocation. It must have been purely acci dental, for I am sure he never could have intended to harm me." The deceased said the same thing many times before her death, and Mr. Westbrook seemed very sorry. I had never seen any ill-feeling previously displayed, and never saw Mr. Westbrook strike her before then. By a Juror—There were blows before the knife was thrown. It was all about the same thing. Mr. Westbrook used an angry expression, but I can't remember what. Mrs. Cathrey provoked him. One of the blows was on the chest, but it was not a vio lent blow. I was not mixed up in the quarrel. Mr. Cathrey, recalled, said that Mr. Westbrook and his mother were not living together as man mid wife. Mr. T. Young, M.R.C.S., 8, Sackville. street, said —I had attended the deceased lady for 20 years. On Wednesday morning her son came to fetch me and said Mr. Westbrook had sent him to fetch me, as his mother had received an "accidental wound." I went, and saw her lying on the second floor, and saw the cut, the size of the table-knife shown me. On inserting my little finger I found it was the size of the knife. The deceased was an extremely portly woman and had a protruding belly, and it was just the sort of wound one might expect from the knife, To have caused her death the knife must have entered three-quarters of an inch. It just passed through the walls of the belly, and went through both layers of the peritoneum and the bowels. I have made a post-mortem examination, and found an opening of the intestines. The de ceased became exceedingly oppressed after 20 hours, and I found her dead next morning. There were no other marks of violence. She told me that she was certain that Mr. Westbrook would not hurt a hair of her head. By the Coroner—l have only done sufficient to ascertain the cause of death. I found an opening into the cavity of the bowel, and it had penetrated the ilium. The cause of death was hemorrhage of the superior mesenteric artery, and it would become peritonitis. Death was caused by the wound. There was not much loss of blood. The deceased told me 20 times it was an accident. Inspector Robert Hubbard, E division, said, — Hearing of the death of a woman by stabbing at the house, I sent Sergeant Watts to investigate the affair, and I believe he was told that the doctor's certificate had been sent to the registrar. I after wards went to the house and saw Mr. Westbrook, and asked him to explain how it arose, and he said it was through an altercation regarding a lady at the opera. He also said that he was in the habit of throwing his arms about, and that in doing so the knife slippe d out and struck the dec eased. I told him I shoul d be obliged to take hi m He said " I .am a solieitgoris,tarcardwWhoas laying into cus tody. believe e ul o d ff h e a r v e d e d own the law 'at the time. M r . Young, recalled, " When I wrote the certificate it. was done T h e Coroner—l am s ure no registrar to take it to the re g is trar himself as stated. taken such a certificate under the circu ms t ances . Inspector Hubbard said Mr. Westbrook was pre sent. The Coroner—lf he chooses to give evidence I am bound to take it, but he must be sworn, and 1L may be used against him. Mr. Westbrook was then sworn, and said—l am a solicitor, and resided with the deceased for four years. I met with a great misfortune some years. ago, and went to Liverpool. My wife elop ed, and then I went to reside with the Cathreys. I have always been treated with the greatest kindness by the deceased. I subscribe to all the witnesses have said with a few exceptions. I had been out, and on going home I threw myself on the sofa. Mrs. Cathery, with her usual kindness, said "Lie on the sofa, you are very warm. I shall insist on your going to the opera." Mrs. Cathery had a peculiar habit of insisting on things. I declined togo, but she would take no refusal. I dressed myself, and we went to the opera and spent a very pleasant evening. We saw a lady there, and I think there was a show on her part of the " cold sho ulder" towards Mrs. Cathrey. Poor Mrs. Cathrey was a lady of extremely violent temper, but possessed of a good heart and great good-nature. She had, how ever, a vehement way of expressing herself. Young Cathrey and myself were like brothers, and used, I t° go through the sword exercise and such like. I" contradicted Mrs. Cathrey she would sometimes collar me in a playful way. The altercation un Buckingham street which has been alluded to was this :—I wanted to go out, and she half playful l y and half in earnest said I should not go, and, nil foot slipping, I seized her arm and hurt it verY much. On the night of the sad affair I was verY excited, but it was wrong that I walked up to the table and threw the knife, as Mrs. Bryant sa Y s ' We had not moved, but were talking very veh e :. mently. The deceased contradicted me, and I too up the knife as I should a spoon or anything tole near me, and I was saying, " Now, it's too bad ° yon to say so." Lam a powerful man, and tin knife as it went from me had great impetus, but 1,- repudiate the intention of hitting her. She bad attended me in sickness and looked to my welfare. I did not know that she was even touched. She du' not know it herself till some minutes after, whil e walking backwards and forwards in the room. Sh ° then stopped and beckoned to me, and, turning, pale, said, " I believe the knife has struck me." replied, "Is it possible ? If so, have medical assist; ance at once." As the knife passed the son said, " You threw that knife at my mother," and Mrs; Cathrey rushed and squared her fist over me a n d said, " Tom, how dare you attack Mr. Westbrook The son struck four or five blows at me, one marking me. Mrs. Cathrey pushed her son away, being veil angry with him, and desired him to go to bed. Sh ° then whispered to me, " I am afraid that knife hag struck me. I said, "My God, is it possible ! Sena for Dr. Young immediately ; lose not a moment . I then told the son to go for Mr. Young, of Sack' ville-street, for his mother was wounded, and M r ' Young came. The rest you have heard from th e doctor. This being the whole of the evidence, the rooln was cleared of strangers, and the jury were left ill deliberation for some time, and at ten o'clock, t li , e inquiry having lasted nearly four hours, it yb adjourned till this evening (Monday). Such has been the excitement caused since t he occurrence, that police have been specially put ° II to keep persons from collecting in front of t he house in New Cavendish-street. THE NAVY. THE CHANNEL FLEET.—The Berry Journal says The anxiety of the public with regard to the fleet has at length been allayed by the arrival of the squadron in Lough Swilly. The vessels lay off I)unree, at the mouth of the lough, for the night, and yesterday proceeded up the lough and anchored in line abreast of Buncrana, and about a mile dis tant from the shore. The position taken up is a line running obliquely from Ramullan to Nedz Point Batteries. The arrival and anchoring of the fleet is described as having been a grand spectacle, such as has never been witnessed in Lough Swilly, and the inhabitants of this and the neighbouring counties have an opportunity—which no doubt will be largely taken advantage of—of seeing some of the finest vessels in her Majesty's navy commanded and manned by the bravest of British sailors . . The length of time which the fleet will stay in this neighbourhood is, of course, only known to the admiral, but from inquiries which we have made we have reason to believe, that it will remain in Lough Swilly for three or four days, and in Lough Foyle for perhaps a longer period." A letter, dated Valetta, July 24, 2 a.m., says :-- "The screw transport Megvera, Commander Hen derson, returned to Malta from Corfu on the 19th inst. She arrived at Corfu at 2, p.m. of the 14th inst., after a passage of less than two days, and found at anchor there her Majesty's ships Cmsar (flagship of Rear Admiral Dacres, C. 8.), Orion, and Queen, which vessels had arrived that mot n ing from Zanto. On the following day the troops and supernumeraries for the squadron were disem barked. The Orion left that evening under steam for Beyrout. The James Watt, having been re lieved by the Gannet at Suda Bay (Candia) on the 3d inst., arrived at Corfu on the evening of the 16th, and was under orders to proceed to Gibraltar to replace the St. Jean d'Acre, ordered to Malta. The Megrera left Corfu on the afternoon of the 17th with Capt. Cox's company of Royal Engineers and various officers and privates belonging to other corps. An Austrian frigate and a steam yacht were at anchor off the Lord High Commissioner's country house at Corfu, where the Empress is stay ing for the benefit of her health. On the 22d inst. the Megmra embarked various officers and men from Malta, and proceeded the same day for Gib• raltar and England. I understand that on the arrival here of the Megecra, circulars were issued. to the principal naval and military officers, intimating that none but invalids suffering from serious sick ness and certain to die unless removed were to be sent on board. Of 200 naval invalids, many of whom were ordered home in February last, room could only be found for some 35. It is the same with the military invalids. Only about one-third of those who have been awaiting passage for some months past have been:embark - ed. These wretched dying men will be reduced to the space allowed to healthy troops. Very few indeed, if any, lam in formed, can be provided with cots. I hear the most bitter complaints on all sides of the fatal mis management of the authorities in neglecting to find adequate means of transport at the proper season. The Scourge, 6, Commander W. G. Jones, and Mohawk, 4, Commander E. H. Howard, returned on the 21st inst. from the north coast of Africa. The former called in at Bengazi and Tripoli, for the purpose of enabling Mr. Forde, Government engineer, to inspect the telegraph stations at those places. She brings news from Tripoli to the 20th inst. Her Majesty's ships are :—The Liffey, 51 (flag of the Commander-in•Cliief) ; the Hibernia, screw ship (flag of Rear-Admiral Codrington, C. 8.); the Scourge, 6; the Mohawk, 4; the Fox hound, 4 ; and the Hearty, tug." The Russian screw steam corvettes Boyarinaell, Commodore Capt. Maydell ; arid Voyvod a, 11, Commander Matrieff ; and despatch boat I)gigcite, 3, Commander Kornileff, arrived in Plymouth Sound, on Saturday, as already announced in The Sun. These steam ships have been four years in commission ; the corvettes have been chiefly on the China station and in the Boyaria river ; the de spatch boat was occupied at Japan. They left Shanghai, January 27 ; Singapore, February 25; Batavia, March 13 ; the Cape of Good Hope, May 21 ; and Fayal, July 19. The boilers of the ships are to be supplied with new tubes which have been some time prepared by the Plymouth Foundry Company. In the course - of the forenoon the Rus sian Vice-Consul, Mr. William Luscombe, and the Mayor of Plymouth visited the Commodore. These ships will remain some days in the Sound, and then proceed to Cronstadt. The Iris, 26, arrived off the dockyard at Chatham on the 27th inst., from the Australian station, the ship having been in commission since Jan,, 1857. She was commissioned at Chatham by Capt. W. Loring, C. 8., on the 23d of Feb. She was towed out of the harbour by the Cuckoo steam vessel, and left Spit head on the 7th of March for the Austra lian station ; on the Ist of July following she an chored in - Varna Cove, Sidney, and released the Juno, 29, Capt. S. G. Fremantle, and the 17th of Sept. she sailed for Norfolk Island, and arrived there on the 23d of that month, when it was found that the islanders were in great distress on account of the want of provisions, particularly flour. In consequence of this the Iris proceeded to Auckland for a ,supply of food, having obtained which, she also procured a vessel to follow with a further sup ply. The Iris again reached the island on the 11 th of O c t o b er , w h en hi s E xce ll enc y the Governor landed, and proceeded to inspect the island, furnish ing a cod e o f l aws f or t h e gu id ance o f the inhabi tants, a n d appo i nted, w i th the usua l f orm alities, a chief and su b ordinate magistrate.

It afterwards sailed to Tana, one of the new Hebrides, to inquire into the murder of two Englishmen belonging to the vessel called New Forest ; it was, however, after a, most diligent investigation found impossible to COUNTRY MARKETS.
