These Important works, well known in Germany for the production of Charcoal Iron, were establish e d i n 1856-58 , at a cost ex eed.ing £340 000. °f 1114 According. to a report by John Hedley, Esq., of Derby, one :h Inspectors or of Mines (which report acmay b a e seen at the Office), hewks consist of two blast furnes— foundry' containing cupola and arrangements for a large casting busi tieese —a f orge —bar and pl4te mill., with eight pairs of tolls— ars— lathes, tec., capable, with slight additions, of turning 9.1 t annually ,oro tons of boiler plates, and 3,000 tons of bars, Pe whole of the machinery worked by steam power— e2gether with ample storehouses, workshops, and offices, and vettages for twe .ty-flue families. .. The buildings re of a more substantial kind than is usual tor such p urposes in England, and the machinery, which is const ructed with all recent improvements, is in excellent condition having been used for a short time only.

No intelligence of this fact ' comes from any other quarter. "Another important cavalry expedition has taken place in Western Virginia. A cavalry force, un der Colonel Tolland , of the 34 th Ohio mounted i n f an try, and Colonel Powell, of the 2d Virginia cavalry, sent by Brigadier-General Ecammon from Charleston, Virginia, to cut the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad at Wytheville, has been suc cessful. They captured Wytheville after a severe fight, took 120 prisoners, two pieces of artillery, and 700 stand of arms. Our loss was about 65 killed and wounded. Colonel Tolland a nd Ca p tain de Law, of Cincinnati, w efe killed, and Colonel ene my lost Powell severely wounded. The 17 killed and 5 wounded. Our troops were fired on by the citizens from the houses. The town was t o tally destroyed. The command reached Fayett ville on Thursday after a har d march. The Con federate guerilla General Mo r g an appears to be hunted like a hare through the South part of Ohio. The main force of his band having been captured he made his escape from the state, but the pursuit of our troops was crushing. He was met by the militia under Hall, after crossing the Muskingum River, but escaped jute Guernsey county, where he tore up the railroad, &c., and burned the depot. After this he went to the .town of Washington. The latest accounts we have of his movements state that at 11 o'clock yesterday he was driven out of Washington, and had proceeded to Winchester on his route to the Stenhenville and Indiana railroad, pursued by our forces." The subscription for the poor negroes who suf fered by the riots exceed 27,000 dollars. The following is the congratulatory order issued by Governor Seymour to the New York militia:— " STATE OF NEW YORK. " Temporary Head-quarters of the Commander-in- Chief. New York City, July 24. " The governor and commander-in-chief of the military forces of the state of New York, upon the return of those regiments of the National Guard, who, upon his order, with a promptness and ala crity which excited the admiration of the whole country, went forth on a sudden call of danger to other states, expresses to them his thanks for their gallant and successful service, which has been alike honourable to them and to the state ] whose name and arms they are proud to bear. " By the ready and vigorous assistance thus ren dered, the soil of Pennsylvania was relieved from the presence of the invader, and aid was given to the national armies which helped to win the victory at Gettysburg. The people of the state of New York will remember with pride and honour with praise their fellow-citizens who had prepared them selves for this great work by a long period of drill and discipline at a time when general en couragement was withheld. It required no little moral courage to uphold our militia system when it had fallen into disrepute ; but this has been done by the citizen soldiery of New York, who have nobly maintained their organisation, and by their example and zeal revived a martial spirit throughout the state which we must regard as our surest protection in the hour of danger. It has shown the utility of that section of our national constitution which declares that a well-regulated militia being necessary for the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.' So careful were our fathers upon this point that they exempted the musket from seizure and sale before they placed the tools of the mechanic and the im plements of husbandry beyond the reach of the cre ditors' grasp. They confided the safety of the re public to the hands of the citizens, and secured to them the musket as they did the ballot, for the de fence of their rights and the protection of their in terests. Time has demonstrated their wisdom. " If our militia system is allowed to decay, all our institutions are weakened. The militia is the main strength of the executive to maintain the laws, put down insurrection, and repel invasion. Within 30 days the unformed militia of this state have gone forth to assist their brethren beyond our limits and have returned to put down riot, arson, and robbery at home. They have aided in defending the na tional flag and honour upon the battle-fields of other states; and, that done, their tread upon the pave ments of this great city brought back a sense of security to its disturbed and endangered inhabit ants. It would neither be just to those gallant soldiers, nor true to the occasion, in commending their prompt obedience and honourable service, not to add an expression of the gratitude due to them for their just appreciation of their constitutional duties, and the labour and time they have given to preparation for the work of usefulness and honour which they have now accomplished. The state of New York has already furnished 226,000 volunteers to the national service. It now contains within its limits more than 300,000 persons liable to service in its militia. " The proper organisation of this great force will not only preserve the power and safety of the state, .but enable it to be even more beneficial in its aid to the nation and to other states than it has been here- Dfore. One failure was occasioned by the over-anxiety of Cut away's rider to make play, who, when the flag was lowered, came away with a clear load, followed by Mother Bunch, the favourite lying on the inside, with Seaboy on his whip hand, and Rigolboche next, to the foot of the hill, where Cutaway dropped Ipek, and his place was taken by his stable companion, who, with Seaboy and Rigolboche, sepa rated themselves from the ruck and came on together, the favourite winning very cleverly by a length ; a bad third ; Overcast was fourth, Pelios filth, and Coeur de Leon next; the last three were Jeanette, Elise, and Play thing. (REUTER'S EXPRESS.) (Arrival of the Jura.) LIVERPOOL, WC/baby. The Canadian mail steamer Jura, Captain Aston, from Quebec on the 25th ult.,arrived in the Mersey this evening. A telegraphic summary has already been published, and the Portland and Quebec jour nals contain little detail of any particular interest. Tb.e papers from New York are no later than those already received by the Sidon. We extract the following despatches from the New York Tribune's Harper's Ferry letter of the 21st ult.—" The main body of our army is 25 miles south of Berlin. It is not impossible that they will return to Berlin. Lee lies between Martinsburg and Winchester. His pickets occupy the Potomac River from Cherry Run, 13 miles west of Martins burg, down to Harper's Ferry. On Friday night they drove in our pickets at the Ferry. They are in force at Sheppardstown, Martinsburg, and Charleston. The rumour that Lee has crossed into Maryland is unconfirmed. The latest official infor -1 mation leaves the two armies watohing each other —the rebels on the west side and the Federals on the east side of the Blue Ridge. (Later).—Lee's army was in motion at three o'clock this morning in the direction of Winchester. Four hundred rebel cavalry attempted to cross the Potomac last night at Nolan's Ferry with the intention of making a raid on the railroad, but their designs were frus trated. The rebel cavalry have made their appear ance in the vicinity of Langley, near Chain Ridge. There are rumours of an important movement on the Upper Potomac." The Washington Star thinks that Lee is aiming at a junction with Bragg and Johnston, to attack Rosencranz, with a prospect, in case of defeat, of the remains of the three rebel armies retreating across the Mississippi into Texas or Mexico. The Washington Republican contains the follow ing :—" From the best information at hand it ap pears that Lee's army is near Winchester, or above that point, while our army occupies such a position that he cannot get to Richmond without fighting at a disadvantage. General Lee is either holding his position to gather supplies from the crops in the village, or with the aid of such reinforcements as he may have obtained, to give another battle, or series of battles, to the army of the Potomac. We may expect stirring news from General Meade's army soon." A Washington dispatch says :—" The relative situation of the army in the valley as understood, is as follows :—General Meade has the Confederate army entirely entrapped. He is evidently massing forces to break his way through to Richmond, but it will probably be a more difficult undertaking than the one at Gettysburg. After all the delay there is now not much prospect of Lee being able to get his army back to Richmond, or even as far as the upper end of the Shenandoah Valley." A Chambersbnrg dispatch of July 3, says:— " Lee left Winchester with his staff yesterday morning in the direction of Middleburg and Stras burg. Imboden's force is known to be guarding the mountain passes near Bath. Lee's heaviest force is now in and around Winchester. He has been re inforced from Lower Virginia and North Carolina by a force, reported at 10,000, under D. H. Hill." The United States steamer Circassian had arrived at New York from Charleston, with advices to the 19th ult. A general engagement was just com mencing as she left. General Gilmore had erected a masked battery in the woods, quite near Fort Wagner, and expressed no doubt but that the attack by himself and Admiral Dahlgrdn would prove successful. As the early morning shadows disappeared the attack began, and a perfect shower of shot and shell was poured into Fort Wagner. The Petersburg (Virginia) Express of the 23d ult., referring to the cavalry expedition sent out by General Foster, says :—" The Yankee raiders burnt the railroad bridge overTarßiver near Rocky Mount. They destroyed the depot at that place, tore up two miles of the track, burnt 5,000 bales of cotton, and a large cotton factory. The bridge over the Tar River was on the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad, and was about 300 yards long. They also captured a train of cars, which contained two car loads of ammunition and 30,0001 b. of bacon, which were destroyed." It was rumoured at Washington that General Grant was to be made a major-general in the regu lar army. It was also reported at Washington that Johnston was about to surrender to Sherman or Grant, but it was impossible to get it authenticated. " Philadelphia, July 23. " The Council have negatived the bill appropriat ing 500,000 dollars to pay exemptions for drafted men. The vote stood-18 Democrats for the bill, and 18 Republicans and 4 Democrats against it. A bill was subsequently passed, appropriating 1,000,000 for relief to families of drafted men." " Cincinnati, July 23. "Morgan crossed the Muskingum River at Eagles port, 18 miles below Seanesville, at ten a.m. Scouts report his forces 1,000 strong, with three pieces of artillery. Colonel Lemont, of the 86th Ohio, sent his regiment and a large number of militia after him. " Colonel Chandler, of Seanesville, and 25 citizens (scouts), were captured at Deerstown last night. " The latest reports from Eaglesport say that the 86th Regiment, under Lieutenant-Colonel M‘Far land, is fighting the Confederates, and driving them up the river towards Seanesville. This is not en tirely reliable. " Business is suspended at Seanesville, and the citizens are turning out en masse to resist Morgan's SEA. —VACANCIES for MIDSHIPMEN and APPRENTICES in a first-class London shipping firm.

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 admittim„ , 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 affords 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.

APPEAL. --- - The Committee of Management have to state that, since he beginning of the year 1850, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution has expended £32,000 on various Lifeboat Estab lishments on the Coasts of England, Scotland, and Ireland. The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the Society and other means, since its formation, is 12,800 ; for which services 82 Gold Medals, 718 Silver Medals, and £18,480 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu tion has also expended £67,000 on Life-boats, Life-boat Transporting-carriages, and Boat-houses. The Committee desire to express their grateful sense of the generous support which they have received from the British public during the past few years, a support which has enabled them to establish their present magnificent fleet or 123 Lifeboats on the shores of the United ICingdom. Deeply sensible, however, of the great responsibility that rests on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient state, and its Crews practised in the management of their boats, whi h can only be effected by a large and permanent annual income, they earnestly appeal to all classes of their countrymen to aid them in upholding and perpetuating so great and truly national a work.

The Greys are in a genealogical ceiasb hundred years old, though they claim, " Peerages" for them, a much higher antiquity. a i l , a Thomas de Grey was a gallant soldier in the wars of Edward 111., and held among other manors in Northumberland that of Howick, but the historian who cares about accuracy instead of heraldic pro babilities will prefer to date the existing family from Sir John Grey of Berwick, who was alive in 1372. His son, Sir Thomas Grey of Berwick and Chillingham, had, by his wife Jane, a daughter of John Mowbray, Duke of Norfolk, two sons, from the eldest of whom, Sir John Grey, were derived the Lords Grey of Powys, E , rle of Tankerville in Normandy, who became extin:4 in 1551.

His second son, Sir Ralph Grey of Chillingham, who ultimately became his heir, was the father of the first Lord Grey of Warke, who played an important part in the civi • ' l war, fought on the popular side, and for same ti • me acted as Speaker of the House of Lords. The great. grandson devoted of this Lord Grey , though a man in heart to the same cause, is probably the one ancestor of whom the family is ashamed, being Fords, third Lord Grey of Warke and Earl of Tankerville, one of the very few men of his time and class ever con victed of a want of nerve sufficient to overpower alike the pride of class and the sense of duty. He had the courage to stake head and lands in resistance to James"., and accepted the command of Monmouth's -cavalry, but fled withitirom the field of Sedgemoor. He saved himself by giving evidence against his friends, and his intrigue with his sister-in-law, Lady Henrietta Berkeley, which gave rise to a cause calibre, seems Lohave outraged even the ideas of that wild age. His trial is one of the strangest re cords of real overmastering passion ever written. He committed a great crime, but it is impossible to read the dully picturesque report in the State Trials without perceiving that the private defence of the accused noble, that he was utterly over mastered by his over love, was true—an admission which in the majority of such cases would be utterly false—that by one of. those strange accidents which are never impossible, yet so seldom occur, he had in Henrietta Berkeley found his double, and that for once, in open court, before all England, Paul Per roll's dream was realised—the dream of a love which could survive alike ruin, and sarcasm, and crime. At the last moment, when all ignominy might have been avoided, and Lord Grey:had worked himself up to promise he would never see his paramour again, he broke down, and refused all terms unless he were permitted to see her. The case was ultimately withdrawn, why, was never explained. His sole surviving child, a daughter. carried the estate of Chillingham into the family of Bennet, Lord Ossuiston (Arlington of the Cabal belonged to these Bennets), who was therefore created Earl of Tankerville, and her descendants to this day own the great Chillingham Park, and the breed of white wild bulls, and divide with the Greys of Howick and the Percies the political in fluence of Northumberland , Sir Ralph, the father of the first Lord Grey of Warke, had a younger brother, Sir Edward Grey of Howick, whose descendant, Henry, was in 1736 owner of the whole of the manor of Howick, and was created a baronet. Two of Sir Henry's sons died unmarried, the eldest having .represented the county in 1754 and 1762; another was killed in a duel with Lord Pomfret, and the fourth, Charles, was the founder of the existing peerage. He was a soldier of some mark and distinguished himself so far as anybody did in the American war, fought with Earl St. Vincent iu the West Indies, and in 1801, under the Addiugtou administration, was raised to the Peerage as Baron Grey de Howick, and in 1806 was created Viscount Howick and Earl Grey. He died Nov. 14,1807, leaving his dignities to his eldest surviving son Charles, second Earl, and founder of the modern political greatness of the family. He was elected in 1786, being then only twenty-two, member for Northumberland, and threw himself with ardour into political life. Like all his family he was a determined Whig, followed Fox, shared in the convivialities of Carlton House, and perhaps believed that the Prince who had betrayed every human being who trusted him would not betray a Grey. He was soon known as one of the small group of aristocrats who clearly foresaw the future, who contended for Catholic emancipation, the removal of the disabilities of the Dissenters, the reform of Parliament, the suppression of the slave trade, and the purification of the ad ministrative machine, which had slowly rotted into an engine for efficient corruption. In 1806 he entered the Grenville Cabinet as First Lord of the Admiralty, and on the death of Fox succeeded him as Secretary for Foreign Affairs. The question of Catholic Emancipation formed, however, a bar to his further rise under George lll.—Whigs in those days having convictions as well as traditions —and on the Regent's accession he was like the rest of his party betrayed, the King ho p ing to compound for a hundred perjuries by keeping one oath which he did not comprehend.

Mr. Roebuck will have it that the earl quailed at last, and would, had the King been firm, have declined to swamp statement is inconsistent with the fact could have been carried by the elevation of elder sons and other devices without that possibly disas trous result. Be that.as it may, in the first Reform Administration the special character of the Premier and the special uses of as: aristocracy came out in their strongest colours. No Parliament ever sat in which " dangerous" tendencies were more apparent. Brains had grown hot in the contest, end the people were more than half inclined to plunge at once into the unknown, and effect farther radical changes in the constitution which had worn so well. Fortunately for all the empire except Ireland—which under the new middle-class ' power lost its best chance of final re-organization,— every mood of the popular mind had to be strained first through the aristocratic sieve, which when it included Earl Grey had very close meshes indeed, and time was allowed for the trial of an organisation which, after thirty years of deter mined and not inglorious effort, now once more seems feeble, because throughout an empire whose power, as Pczzo di Borgo said, " has earth for its base," there is not out of Ireland a grievance sharp enough to stir the national blood. Earl Grey re tired in 1834 from officiallife but thepoliticalinflu;'nce of his family founded on his reputation has not been diminished in the hands of his successor7a man in whom all his father's qualities seem intensified. If he were not the most, impracticab.e of mankind there would be in Eugland no one with a chance against Earl Grey, and his administration of the colonies, still but partially un derstood, will one day be found to have involved as bold, as successful, and a, portent a revolution as that which hi s great father carried through. At this moment there is, perhaps, no family in England more largely employed in the public service than that which looks to Earl Grey ad its head, and scarcely one in which there have been so few conspicuous failures. o _ l l9's M= a a =1 Offices Year.

A stiff breeze and a promise of rain, combined with a not over-attractive bill of fare, tended to considerably diminish the numbers on the Downs to-day. Indeed, the Club-day never attracts the general public equally with the other two, and the attendance is, therefore, principally limited to owners of horses, those horse sportsmen to whom racing is almost the end and aim of their existence, and the business fraternity, to whom a race is a mere subject of speculation, and nothing more. We regret to add that the slight hopes entertained during the day about Drew's probable recovery were not destined to be realised. He expired between 6 and 7 last evening, hav ing remained in a state of insensibility to the last. A Plate of 100 soya, given from the Brighton Race Fund, for 3-yr-olds and upwards. Weight for age.
