This Corn-any is formed for the purchase and working of the celebrated native silver mines of Norway, known as the " Skara Mines," which are 17 in number, and comprise an urea of uFwards of 75,000 acres, lying about seven English miles north-east of the City of KoJgsbtrg t the seat of the Government Mining Direction, about 90 miles from Olds tiaoa, the capital of Norway, and about 20 miles from the seaport of Drammen, from whence there is steam communi cation to within seven miles of Sk-+ra, leaving only that dis tanee of land carriage to and from the mines.

It is entirely devoted to desti tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient magnitude that, with adequate support. it may be rendered capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover, it gratuitously aflords medical advice and medicine to more, on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week. The Weekly Board feel it their Imperative duty to make an EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support, to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that daily present themselves.

Deputy Commissary-General's Office, 5, sew-street, Spring-gardens, London, S.W., 10th April, 1863, THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 5, 1863 SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. HERALD.—Mr. Gladstone was taught a severe lesson last night—that he should not outrage the feelings and the judgment of the country. Of course, every sensible man both in the House of Commons and out of it was prepared to admit new taxes to stop the inconvenient gaps caused by the remissions of the Budget. But who dreamed of a tax on our public charities ? What man or god could invent so bold and so rash a design ? The Chancellor of the Ex chequer here must have been stricken with a strange furor. Original in eccentricity, in this instance he entirely outstripped any of his former sallies. To stop short at I/00 a-year, to spare the mechanic in full work, and yet tax him when sitlicted with disease or the recipient of relief if out of employment, was the most extraordinary fiscal rhapsody ever conceived or spoken. Ireland is a poor country, and Ireland's poverty was considered on the impo sition of the first income tax. But Ireland is now poorer than ever. She is not only to pay the im post, but by the novel creation of our Finance Minister her numerous dependents on charity were to relieve a flourishing British commerce from a few petty restrictions. The proposal was not only ab surd ; it was enormously cruel, and it fled in the face of all our preconceived notions of benevolence in this country. The universal desire was to en courage the spirit of charity ; but here was a scheme to render it unpopular, to treat it as a luxury, to tax it, and thus to render it scarce and dear. No won• der that men of all orders should have protested against so singular an innovation. Churchmen, Dis senters, and Catholics were united here. The funds at the disposal of the wealthiest of our charities are not too large for their pressing calls. Many of the poorer and struggling institutions from year to year require continual aid by subscriptions to enable them to live at all. It has been abundantly shown in the House of Commons and in the columns of this jour nal, and elsewhere, that the real sufferers by the tax would have been either the very poor and suffering or those persons glad to avail themselves of the aid of our benevolent foundations for themselves or children. It was preposterous to assert that the tax was a general one, and would not effect indivi dual interests. As to what may be termed the argument of symmetry—the imposition of the tax all around—that stands in the teeth of the known exceptions made in the incidence of this impost. It was never designed to tax all alike. Policy as well as necessity counsels the removal of direct taxes from the ':shoulders of the poor man. He could ill bear to hand over hard cash at so much in the pound on his dole of wages to a rigorous collector. Being by far the largest con sumer he pays most in indirect taxation. He there fore merits exemption and favour. How can we use the symmetrical plea here, in the midst of a whole some exception P But the entire proposal was forced, unjust, and oppressive, and struck at every prin ciple of an income tax, which pre supposes distinc tions. Happily we have got rid of this anomaly. The House of Commons, in this instance as in others of late, has done its duty to the public. But what can the Government urge now in defence of a scheme thus formally condemned and reprobated by so many of its regular supporters ? To continue to hold office in the face of so many defeats, and these concerning questions of magnitude and moment, is to perpetuate administration on sufferance. The tenure of the Government may depend on the popu larity of one man—but when this involves the re jection of paramount measures like that of last night and the motion of Sir J. Trelawny on church rates—questions, in one instance supported by the Prime Minister and most of his colleagues, and in the other by the entire Cabinet—it may fairly be held that the Ministry stands condemned by the voice of the House of Commons, and ought not to take refuge in the known public sentiments of fa vour entertained towards the venerable Premier. Mr. Gladstone, at all events, has had his full share of defeat. If he is indispensable to the Cabinet this only shows of what unsound elements the Govern ment is composed. The discredit reflected on the Chancellor of the Exchequer affects the entire Ad ministration. Nor should it be speedily forgotten that whatever signs of economy the Government has recently displayed are advantages borrowed from the pertinacious counsels and plans of the Opposition. To Mr. Disraeli and his friends the merit of retrenchment, and a consequent remission of taxation, is unquesti ona bl y d ue. M r. G ladstone and his colleagues in office have tamely imitated the vigorous programme chalked out by the right hon. member for Buckinghamshire. The blow of last night, therefore, descends the more heavily, because it is not lightened by reductions emanating in truth and spirit from the Ministry. POST.—There can be little doubt of the fact which was admitted in the House of Commons the other night that the British people were, at the beginning of the struggle in America, for the most part in favour of the success of the Federal Government. Writers like De Toqueville and the Hon. A. C. Murray and others had, it is true, predicted the dis ruption of the Union, and the formation of several confederacies out of the disjecta tnembra of the ex ploded central power. But Europe in general, and England in particular, had noticed with wonder, and, we believe, also with real satisfaction, the growth of a power on the North American Conti nent, which, though sometimes inclined to be trou• blesome to its neighbours, nevertheless fulfilled all the main purposes for which Governments exist— developing the resources of a country of vast extent washed by two oceans; penetrated also by rivers, compared with which the Rhine and the Thames are mere rivulets, and where an enterprising race combining the characteristics of most of the nation alities of the Old World had collected arou n d them most of the material comforts of life, if they failed in reaching the highest standards of ()European civilisation and refinement. The Irish peasant and the political refugee, and hosts of others, fled from the crowded countries of the Continent to this land of promise, where all men were free and equal at least in theory, and where no despots or tyrannical aristocracies were permitted to blight the prospects or mar the happiness of the people. Whether they all realised their dreams of liberty and of success is best known to themselves. European Govern ments and peoples could certainly have no object in desiring the downfall of a State with which they were all more or less intimately connected by the ties of race, religion, and commerce. Statesmen trained under the old monarchiesof Europe may have noted from time to time a gradual but certain deterio ration in the quality of American rulers and diploma tists as compared with that which they exhibited when Geo. 111. was Ring—when Franklin received the acknowledgment of the independence of his country from his former Sovereign while wearing that famous snuff-coloured coat in which he had borne the fierce invectives of Wedderburn, as well as subsequently helped to instruct the salons of Paris in the doctrine of human equulity, thereby paving the way for the first French Revolution ; but most undoubtedly the prevailing feeling in this country when hostilities began was in favour of the integrity of the Federal Government, for few people at that time could see clearly behind the veil which had partially concealed the growing in compatibility for union between North and South, and the terrible wrath which the Southerners had for years been nursing against the New England States. All these things are now pretty well known here. England had the deepest interests in desiring a continuance of Federal rule over the whole country, for the great cotton trade of the North, and the welfare—perhaps the existence—of half a million of operatives in Lancashire were bound up with this question, not even to allude to the subjects of our revenue being injuriously affected by our ceasing to receive Southern cotton, or the contingency of a war arising between our selves and the Washington Government. As the contest proceeded, it was observed that the advo cates of the Union as it was shifted their grounds for coercing the South according to their geogra phical position ; and amid much antagonism of opinion between President Lincoln and his Minis ters on the one hand, and the supporters of the Union east, west, and north on the other, it be came patent to all imp ar ti a l observers th at: the Federals were fighting for power, empire, and for the exclusive management of Southern commerce, and Americans themselves saw that if the South succeeded in gaining its independence, the West and California might also be tempted to try their tephrynayetn,rsdi patriotic nfiaoect..epshi so odr Europeei vast Federals, fairest strn, edswe work,and df and shallah ne powerful,md wo then,hsoetr lfddegradeder tsi hi t l ea h l 0 0l p u u g r ht all i c n ou th n e . shorn Hundreds in hot thousands u s h a a n s d t f wasteful as the corruption was barefaced, s o the were summoned to r a o n n v o d i w n c t e h b s e e . the field ; resources of an immenseevenlvuethehi e cr x l p aa e r n net d ai itctiuppraei anticipated et was a psTesar The for centuries at a rate would have asto nished Napoleon I. or sudden exigencies of war supply the t Nv h e o s r e k s i o putoa.efn. many the an i mmediate w (rat- ere requ teth — in s g u r m eengrocers' stalls, and from desks of country at torneys.

Gen.

The sailing transport Louisa, Capt, Tillman, ar rived at Spithead yesterday from Ceylon and the Cape of Good Hope with invalids. The Louisa left Columbo Jan. 3d, and arrived at the Cape of Good Hope on Feb. 25. She left on the 28th, bringing also as passengers Mrs. Colonel Hidden and Mr. and Mrs. Mortimer. The ship experienced mode rate weather. She left the Adamant with troops on board at the Cape of Good Hope, bound to Spithead. The invalids will be removed to the new hospital at Netley in the Pigmy to-day. The gentlemen cadets of the Royal Military Aca demy at Woolwich yesterday went through some excellent shell practice, ove: a range of 800 yards, with the 8, 10, and 13 inch mortars in the Green hill battery, it being the commencement of the mortar drill season. THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. (From the Special Correspondent of the Times.) NEW YORK, April 21. It begins to be whispered that the attack on Charleston was peremptorily ordered by the War Department; that Admiral Dupont disapproved it, unless he could be efficiently supported by General Hunter; that General Hunter, not having more than half the men requisite, declined the re sponsibility; that their joint remonstrances were unavailing; and that finally the Admiral was ordered, nolens volens, to force the passage with his iron-clads. The officials at Washington appear to have taken a sudden fancy for the celebration of anniversaries; and they calculated that if they could but recapture Fort Sumter, and announce the fact to t he people of New York assembled in Union•square on the 11th, they would perform a grand coup de theatre, perpetrate a highly dramatic and agreeable act of vengeance, fire the Northern heart with new enthusiasm, and administer a heavy blow to the South. But the President, though he issued positive orders to the Admiral, is reported to have taken counsel with his second thoughts, and to have come to the conclusion that the War Department was wrong in disregarding the remonstrances of its officers, and to have despatched his private secretary on a special mission to Port Royal, countermanding all previous instructions, ordering that the attack should be abandoned, and that the Monitors should all proceed to New Orleans to co-operate with Gen. Banks in a new attempt to force the passage of the Mississippi at Port Hudson. The messenger, how ever, arrived too late. The attack had begun and ended before he reached Port Royal, and many of the iron-clads engaged in the unavailing struggle had been so seriously damaged as to be unable to proceed to the Mississippi without repairs. This is the story which has been brought from Port Royal by persons who profess to speak on authority, and which is in all probability correct in its main particulars. It will not tend to increase the public confidence in the wisdom of the Administration, though it may help to prove that Mr. Lincoln him self has more practical common sense than the people who surround him. General Banks is undoubtedly in peril in New Orleans. He was sent to that city against his will, with the malicious hope that he would so damage his military and political reputation by his adminis- tration of that difficult department as to fall out of the list of candidates for the Presidency. This question of the Presidency is the stumbling-block in the way of every Northern man who aspires to serve his country; and, lest Banks should become too popular and powerful, it was graciously deter mined to give him a chance of ruining himself. But the military authorities of Washington overshot their mark. In sending him to Louisiana with a force wholly insufficient to hold that State, and to co-operate for the reduction of Port Hudson and the clearance of the Mississippi, they incurred the risk not only of ruining Gen. Banks, but the still more imminent risk of losing New Orleans and the whole of Louisiana. Hence it has been found abso lutely necessary to strengthen his hands; and hence the iron clad fleet, as soon as it has been repaired in its weak and damaged places and mounted with guns of greater calibre, will make its way:to the mouth of the Mississippi. It is the wisest act of the Administration, The possession of Charleston and all the cities of the Atlantic seaboard would have been of no real value to the North. As long as they are blockaded, wholly or partially, the South must suffer; but the capture of Vicksburg and Port Hudson and the possession of the entire course of the Mississippi from New Orleans to St. Louis would do more than defeat the South, where it can not afford to be defeated. It would sooth the suf fering and discontented North- Western States, re store some portion of their trade, and sensibly dimi nish the chances of a new secession. Unfortunately, however, for the North, it is not alone Gen. Banks who is in danger. Gen. Rosencrans is believed to be in a most critical position. The Cumberland River, which runs its long, tortuous course through the heart of Tennessee, and floats the gunboats and the steamers that supply his armies, is only navi gable in the winter months. Its waters have already fallen four feet, and are sinking so rapidly as to make it a question of a few days whether he can continue to maintain himself without making a for ward movement against the enemy. The Confede rates under Gen. Joseph Johnson, their best, most popular, and most trusted commander, are full of confidence that, whether Rosencrans offers or ac cepts battle, he will ba defeated. Thus it looks, as the Americans say, " as if it would soon thunder ail around." The indications certainly are that within the next three or four weeks stirring news may be expected both from Tennessee and Louisiana. The Loyal League meetings, or, as they are now popularly and appropriately named, " the Contra: , " tors' Meetings," are becoming a farce. They are held in a succession far too rapid, and addressed by speakers far too well-known and " used up" to offer any attractions to a public so enamoured of novelty as that of New York. The anniversary meeting of the capture of Fort Sumter by the Confederates having been a failure, not only in number, but as regards the gratifying announcement of the recap ture which its originators expected to make, it was determined to summon another Loyal League meet ing, to celebrate the anniversary of what is called " the great uprising of the people" two years ago after Fort Sumter had been taken, and the Massa chusetts Volunteers had been killed in the streets of Baltimore. The venerable General Scott, who very recently notified by advertisement that the state of his health and his daily increasing infirmities would not again permit him to address or be present at a public meeting, was persuaded to reconsider his determination. It was arranged that he should not attend to speak, but that he should preside from the balcony of the Fifth-avenue Hotel, where he resides, and that the meeting should be held in the street below. It was expected by the originators of the display that curiosity would draw together a con siderable crowd—aud it did so. Madison-square was tastefully decorated with flogs; cannon wdere t fired ; at intervals bands of music wore stationc thea the street corners and at the stands owherefsail speakers were to hold forth ; a procession dors front the Navy-yard at 13rooklyn was mate le to the scene; and the Exrress Companies," which do the carrying and forwarding business of this co untry, sent a long cava lcade of waggons, some drawn by six and most of t hem by four horses, — gray, bay, black, and brown—to add to the excite ment and attraction of the day, and please the mob of small boys that congregated to see the show. The day was bitterly cold, and a cutting north-east wind was blowing. But General Scott was true to hi s word, and took his place on the b a l cony at f our o'clock, closely misfiled up in a larg great-coat, with a high collar, which all owe d only a po .s rtio h n of . . his face to be seen. He 'was attended by h lest there should ho guy d anger to hie he a h y cAfterta PRICE..... —..4d. STAMPED ....sd. I about half an hour's exposure he complained of the ; cold, and asked for a shawl to wrap round his neck. Some one immediately handed him a Federal flag, and it was wrapped around his chest and shoulders, amid the vociferous applause of the spectators. Either from inability to withstani further exposure to the north-east wind, or from a sense of the ridi eulous, the poor old gentleman determined to retire, which he did about 5 o'clock. The proceedings lasted until past 7, the principal speakers being Mr. Bancroft the historian, Mr. John Van Buren, Mr. Raymond of the New York Times, and other gen tlemen whose names figure constantly at these meet ings, and without whose presence the programme would be considered incomplete. Nothing of any note was said by anybody. It was the old story ; the old "Buncombe," the old determination never to listen to peace while there was a rebel in arms (or a dollar to be made out of the war), and . the old boast of the immense resources of the Northern people which would ultimately overpower all oppo sition, and defeat not only the South, but Vie world in arms. The only novelty was the declaration of IVILIJohn Van Buren—received, however, without a cheer—that a foreign war would be very inexpe dient. "We must," said he, " have no trouble with any foreign Power. We must make this our sole controversy until it is ended. We must keep friends with Great Britain, with France, and with Russia, so that there will be no interference from abroad. I have no doubt we can do so." The sensation headings in the newspapers proclaim that at this meeting there were " Music, cannon, flags, and cheers." They do not add, however, that there was little else beside a crowd of idle people, not one of whom will, in all probability, be induced to volunteer into the fast diminishing armies of the Republic in consequence of anything he may have heard or seen, or any patriotic sentiment that may have Tx en instilled into his mind by the speakers. The Herald, which is not slow in discovering the current of public opinion, has declared against the useless folly of such gatherings. " Those who take part in them," it says this morning, " are only losing their time and getting themselves laughed at." Add to this the wide-spread feeling that it was an act of heartless cruelty on the part of these republican Barnums to make a show of Gen, Scott, an octogenarian in very delicate health, and the verdict of the public on this last Loyal League meeting will be complete. It is estimated that from 12,000 to 15,000 persons were present. Two noted Irishmen, Judge Daly and Mr. J. T. Brady, he of " the silver tongue," were advertised to be present, and the town was largely placarded with in vitations to their countrymen to gather around them, but neither of them appeared. Mr. Brady sent a letter of apology, and Judge Daly if present made no sign. The murder of Col. Kimball by Gen. Corcoran has excited so much ill feeling in the army, and led to so much unfavourable commeLt everywhere ex- cept in the eolumns of the newspapers, that the General has deemed it advisable to explain the cir cumstances under which the tragedy occurred. He says he was on duty at 3 o'clock on a dark morning, bearing an order to the front for the Major• General in command, when he was stopped by a man whom he did not know, but whom ha judged by his sword to be an officer, and asked in a dictatorial manner and with a profane oath for the countersign. He declined to give it until his questioner informed him who he was and by what authority he acted. An altercation ensued, much foul language passed, Col. Kimball would not give his name, rank, or autho rity, and persisted in blocking the way. "Bran dishing his sword in one hand, and having a pistol in his other, as I then supposed," says the General, " he made a movement towards me with the evident design of using them, and at the same time said, I will be God -- if you shall pass.' It was at this point I used my weapon. Nothing but the conside ration that my life was in danger—whioh I had reason to fear—and the duty incumbent on me at that particular time, when an attack was appre hended, would have justified me in my own mind in taking the measure I then did. It was not until after the occurrence that I learned who he was; but had he been my best friend I Jannot see how it could have resulted otherwise, from the part he acted on that occasion. With no authority to demand the counter sign, I should have been derelict in my duty had I yielded to his demand." Dead men tell no tales. Colonel Kimball is in his grave, and in default of his explanations it is probable that the Court of In quiry before which General Corcoran expresses his readiness to appear may acquit him of all but rash ness. But no real judgment can be passed until the fact be ascertained whether the deceased was or was not on duty. If he was, he was murdered ; if he was not, he was cruelly slain ; and as this point can be cleared up by the evidence of the superior officers of the regiment to which the dead man belonged, it is to be hoped that an official inquiry will be im mediately instituted. As long as a doubt remains, even the Irish Brigade will not fight willingly under Corcoran, and more than ordinary discredit will hang upon the name of every political general, without education or experience, who, like him, was promoted for other than military reasons. The civil war has either greatly demoralised a large portion of the Northern clergy, or too many of the persons who exercise in this country the sacred functions of ministers of the Gospel are un fitted for their calling by want of education, man ners, and Christian charity. Foremost among the abettors of strife, loudest and most relentless in their denunciations of all who disagree from their political and social dogmas, fiercest and most perti nacious iv preaching a policy of vengeance and ex termination, such men as the Beechers and Cheevers have made themselves conspicuous for every quality which the meek and gentle teachers of the religion of love should not exhibit. Hitherto such utter ance have been individual rather than collective, and have sprung in a greater degree from the idio syncracies of the preachers than from the corporate action of the Churches. But now it would appear as if . the evil example of the few had corrupted the many ; that the worst passions engendered by the war had communicated their contagion to the pulpit ; and that the clergy as a body had become as insensate as the crowd, whose mad ness and violence it ought to be their duty and privilege to restrain. No less than 260 clergy menlast; of the Methodist Episcopal Church assembled in annual conference in this city on S b nt r ur c e ) l f ay a and, in the presence of a vast n um an e uttered such ferocious sentiments d as to justify themselves in a manner so u n . b ri e t c h o e x hope that every all quiet and sensible citizens is into the ranks of the one of them may be `vas unparal• gwithout the privilege of a army and forced to fight before the Conference was substitute. h p e r o t r h t on the state of the nation.

Rear-Admiral of the Blue Charles Eden, C. 8., one of the Lords of the Admiralty, arrived on Sa turday, from Torquay, at Devonport, and inspected the training ship Impregnable, 78, Commander Francis S. Tremlett ; the Canopus, 8, Commander Charles F.F F Boughey; the training ship Implac able, 24, Commander Samuel B. Dolling ; and the guardship of the steam reserve the Indus, Captain Astley C. Key, C. 8., in Hamoaze. His lordship dined at Mount Wise on Sunday with Port-Admi ral Sir Houston Stewart, K.C.8., and yesterday left Plymouth by the morning express. The paddle wheel steam sloop Argus, 6, Commander J. Lewis Moore, with his lordship's secretary, which arrived at Devonport on Saturday, was preparing to leave yesterday afternoon for Portsmouth. The water having been pumped out of No. 3 dock at Chatham, in which the screw frigate Orlando, 46, 1,000 horse po aver, Capt. G. G. Randolph, was docked on Saturday, a minute inspection of the fri gate was instituted yesterday afternoon by the master shipwright's staff, under the immediate direc tion of Mr. Lang, the master shipbuilder of the establishment, in order to discover the nature of the injuries which the vessel has sustained. During the afternoon nearly the whole of the copper was stripped off her bottom, and her mahogany plank ing cleared. So far as can be at present ascertained, the leakage appears to be close to her keel, where her timbers are believed to be strained. There is also a defect perceptible in her stern-post, caused, it is believed, by the working of her powerful screw machinery. There are one or two other minor defects, but none which are of great impor tance. No exertions are to be spared by the dock yard department to have her completed. From the nature of the repairs required, however, it is not probable that they will be completed in less than three weeks. In accordance with orders received from the Ad miralty the works required to be executed upon the Terrible, 22, 800 horsepower, fitting for the Chatham steam reserve squadron, have been suspended, and nearly the whole of the hands removed to the other ships building and under repair. The war department steamer Balaklava, from Woolwich Arsenal, laden 500 tons of machinery and war stores for Portsmouth, yesterday went down to Purfleet to complete her cargo, 56 tons of powder. She also took a 68-pounder gun and carriage, equipped for experimental service in Capt. Coles's cupola battery, now under construction at Ports mouth. The old method of pointing the gun with the elevating screw worked with handspikes, &0., has been replaced by the lever, which works with considerably less labour. The hired transports Ranger, for Halifax, Orient for Bermuda, and the Adelaide for Gibraltar, yes terday arrived at Woolwich, for the purpose ofship ping ammunition and war materials for the above named places. Tonnage is also engaged in ships under sailing orders for Bombay, Simon's Town, Auckland, New Zealand, C a pe Town, Malta, &c. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :--Lieut. F. G. Gambier, to the Archer; Lieut. G. D. liushe, to the Rattlesnake; Lord A. C. G. Lennox, naval cadet, to the Meeanee ; A. Mimes, chief engineer, to the Geyser; J. Ross, engineer, to the Indus, for hospital treatment; J. Wyllie and A. Moreton, assist.-engineers, t o the Valorous ; C. 0. Salmon, assist.-paymaster in the Revenge, to be secretary's clerk ; D, T. Waugh, assist. -paymaster, to. the Dauntless ; and H. G. Stembridge, clerk to the Orontes. THE ARMY. The J and K batt er i es of the 4th b r i ga d e R oyal Artillery and the 6th b r i gade R oya l A r till ery, un der the command of Col. Ward, C. 8., were officially inspected on Southsea-common yesterday by Major- Gen. Lord W. Paulet, C. 8., c ommanding the south west district, who was attended by a numerous Staff. The J and K batteries of the 4th brigade were under the command of Lieut.-Col. Anderson, C. 8., and the 6th brigade under the command of Col. Longden. S evera l manoe uvres w ere gone througb, and several r oun d s fi re d from the batt er i es.

At 2 o'clock 10 com panies of the Chatham, or first division, each 60 strong, were paraded in front of the men's quarters, in heavy marching order, and afterwards marched to the Great Lines, where the battalion, which had purposely been reduced to 600 men, exclusive of officers, awaited the:arrival of the Inspector -General. Each of the companies was furnished with 15 rounds of blank cartridge, and tne flank companies with 20 rounds each. Shortly after 3 o'clock Major -General Stransham arrived on the ground, accompanied by his aide-de-camp, Capt. J. C. Travers, and a nume rous staff, and was received by the battalion with the customary salute and lowering of colours. After a brief inspection of the columns M4jor,Gcn, Strans ham took up hi s position at the flagstaff, when the battalion, which was under the command of Col, T. Lemon, C. 8., the commandant of the division, marched past by:;companies in a d m i rable style. This completed, a brilliant series of battalion and light infantry mar o3uvres, from the programme laid down by the Inspector-General, were exe cuted by the battalion, under the direction of Col. Lemon, in a manner which reflected the highest credit on the officers of the battalion for the very high state of discipline to which they had brought the division. The movements were pro longed until an advanced hour in the afternoon, when the battalion was marched off the ground to its quarters. The inspection, which will oc cupy some d a ys ? will be resu me d thi s morning. pL ax-L - 1.11/ V;;P‘ which denoutoed the " treaso. 411 e -Nortra%t 7l---14r4il friends of peace, by cheerealapping aLhands, and stamping of feet. Bishop Scott, who presided, was scandalised at the unseemliness of this be haviour, and informed the members that such manifestations were not appropriate either to themselves or to the occasion. The Rev. Mr. Foster asked if the Bishop alluded to the clap ping of hands ? The Bishop replied in the affirmative. Mr. Foster seemed to think the bishop was wrong, for he declared that " on the great event of his life—on the day when he was converted to Jesus he arose and clapped his hands unto the Lord." The Conference applauded as loudly as before; some one cried out " Glory to God," and Mr. Foster sat down, all appearance, di sc o m fit e d th e bishop,ow, h and having, ng, to carried off the honou rs o f th e di scuss i on * n The Rev. Dr. Osborne, of White Blains, said that during the last year his mind had been in a constant state of anxiety about his beloved country. He had to contend against a great deal in his district, for the infamous Copperheads were as thick as blackberries, and he often felt as if he would like thrashing a man to be a Christian virtue, that ho might have the privilege of digging into such fel lows." Here was loud laughter from the reverend auditory as well as a fluttering of fans in the galle ries. Encouraged by this, Dr. Osborne went on to say, " that if he were President Lincoln, instead of suspending the writ of Habeas Corpus he would suspend the Copperheads." The delight of the Con ference at this burst of wit, patriotism, liberality, and mercy, having once again manifested itself by clapping , stamping, and shouting, the presiding bishop ventured to make a second remonstrance. "He approved," he said, "of the resolutions, but not of the clapping of hands and the stamping of feet. The ministers ought not to forget their own sacred character or the proprieties of the occasion. If they wished to express their approval, let them say, Amen ! till they raised the very roof above them ; hat let them remember above all things that they were clergymen." 7138 Rev. Mr. Foster, thn same who had "clapped his hands unto the Lord,' said that the South bated the Yankees, despised, scorned, and held them in ridicule, and he for one hoped that the war would go on until such hellish, devilish ideas were whipped out of the people of the Southern States. To accomplish that object he did not care if the war went on for one, two, or tea years." A second Mr. Foster, recently from New Orleans, where he had acted as chaplain to a regi ment, complained of the ladies of that city, who insulted every Yankee they met in the streets, sometimes crossing on the other side to show their contempt. The common cry among them was, " Take care of your pockets, here's a Yankee coming." "He wanted that feeling whipped out of the Southern people by shot and shell." The Rev. I. R. Wakeley informed the Conference that " the proper way to treat a Copperhead was to stamp your heels on him." Suiting the action to the word he stamped his foot violently on the floor, amid im mense applause of clapping, but not of Amens, suc ceeded by peals of laughter and a titter from the galleries, when the Rev. Mr. Fox, apostrophising the pantomimist, said, " Brother Wakeley, you almost made a hole in the floor that time !" Up to this point there had been perfect unanimity in the meeting, with the slight exception of the Bishop's mild remonstrances in favour of clerical propriety but as soon as the votes w ere taken by yeas and nays on the several resolutions appended to the report a difference of opinion began to display itself. Two gentlemen of New York, the Rev. Messrs. Cattell and Setlek, objected to endorse or approve the Pre sident's Proclamation of Emancipation and the pro. vocation to a war of races involved in it, and ex pressed their dissent with such a loud and emphatic "No !" that the Conference was startled. Cries were raised that Mr. Cattell should explain himself and Prove his loyalty. Amid much interruption, hisses, and cries of "Sit down," "You're not loyal," he pro ceeded to explain that he loved the Union that he was a Puritan of the old Massachusetts stock, and that he was as loyal as any of them, but that "he would not swallow their resolution on slavery, or ever give up the right of free speech," By this time the hour of adjournment had arrived, the reso lutions were carried, and the clerical brawlers dis persed.
