The General has issued an order authorising the com manders of the forces in the South to use the troops in aid of the civil authorities at their disposal, but their action is limited to affording assistance in the enforcement of some lawful process. This precau tion is no doubt intended as a protection against reckless oppression by the military, but unless the order is a little less vaguely worded than the summary which reaches us, the commanders, if so disposed, can employ the troops at the elections. Many well-wishers to the Southern 'States have shrunk from the employment of the soldiers in the repression of the disturbances or in the preserva tion of social order, from fear that. when once the necessary permission is given the Radicals will seize the opportunity of keeping the Democrats from the polling booths. At the same time it would be idle to decline the assistance of the troops on these grounds, since nothing can be more likely to inter fere with the freedom of the elections than the dis turbances promoted by the negroes. It is evident that a good deal of uneasiness does exist on this subject iu the Southern States, for we find that Senator CAMPBELL arrived at Washington with a petition from Charleston, signed by the Conserva tive citizens, asking the PRESIDENT for military protection against the negroes, who, as they believe, are incited to outrage by the Southern Radicals. The Secretary of War replied that General GRANT'S orders, which we have already referred to, would meet the requirements of the case. Meanwhile the Tennessee Legislature has increased the State militia, and empowered the Governor to use the force at his discretion. It is very much to be regretted that this alarm should exist respecting the negroes, since nothing could be more fatal to the interests of the country than a war of races. The •great object of all should be to secure internal tranquillity ; with out that it is impossible for the finances to recover, for trade and commerce to flourish, and the South to become as of old, the source of national wealth and prosperity. If a fresh element of discord and uneasiness is to be introduced, the consequences will be most disastrous to both North and South. There seems unfortunately to be some ground for this prevailing apprehension, for we find the negroes in several places putting themselves actively forward, and in Missouri they have forme 1 a negro State Convention, and have passed a resolution demand ing equal political and social rights. MANCHESTER, Sept. B.—The market for shipping yarns has been quiet to-day, and to make sales it was found necessary take rather lower prices. Some few orders have been given out for China, but with this exception there has been no business of any moment. The market for home-trade yarns opened tamely, and very little business was done up to one o'clock, but subsequently there was an improvement, resulting in a moderate amount of transactions at the prices of last Tuesday. For cloths we have had a very inactive market, and buyers for some days past have evidently sought to avoid operations. In cases where they have made any offers prices have been named which show a decline on previous quotations: The lots offered for sale have been so insignificant that sellers seem to have felt little inducement to meet such a demand. Quotations for cloth are generally lower than on last Tuesday, but from the absence of busi ness may be considered nominal. In cases where stocks have begun to accumulate, producers to day are unquestionably willing to entertain offers at lower rates. For the better makes of ehirtings, such as 811 b., there has been some inquiry to-day, but it has not been an inquiry which inspired much hope of business, and was based on prices which were too low to meet with any general ac ceptance. Under these circumstances the business of the day has been confined within narrow limits, and chiefly to speCial makes of cloths. CARDIFF, 7th.—The strong gales to which refe rence was made in last week's report have caused the steam coal trade to fall into a state of compa rative dullness, as compared with the activity generally prevailing in the staple trade of this port. Very few vessels have arrived during the past week, and as the demand for steam coal is gradually increasing, merchants and shippers ex perience a greater difficulty in obtaining tonnage than has been known for several months past. There are numerous orders on the books for the mail-packet stations and Mediterranean port, but the demand from the Baltic has somewhat de• creased, and as this is rather unusual at this period of the year it is not expected to continue for many days. To the other foreign markets about an average quantity is being sent. For house coals there is an increased demand, but nothing like activity prevails in this branch of the trade. The good feeling which lately sprang up in the iron trade still continues, and it is expected considerable engagements will be entered into before long. LEEDS, Sept. 8. —Notwithstanding that the at tendance in 'the Cloth coloured hall, this morning was not so large as usual all seasonable goods were in fair request. Tweeds were made especially pro minent, but the run was principally on dark shades and light greys. There was not the same animation with regard to orange warp tweeds, but some manu facturers of this peculiar kind remain in fair employ ment. It is to a great extent on shipping account that so much industry is called for in this de partment. Business done in meltons was not an average, but plain milled cloths and thick fancy coatings were required rather extensively. The same may be said with regard to beavers and wit neys, and almost every variety of colours. The market for hair list has been languid, but prices of all qualities of undyed goods remain unaltered. ROCHDALE, 7th.—The business doing to-day has not been of any weight.. The home trade was quite as dull as last week, and very few shipping houses were represented. Should a change of weather arise, it is likely that it would stimulate a better demand for plain goods. The quantity of fancy flannels now being made has decreased very much of late. No change has occurred in prices to-day, and they are to be regarded as firm. There is no improvement in the demand for. Yorkshire goods, but very few are forced - upon the market. The price of wool is well maintained by the local staplers, and purchases are only made as the neces sity of the moment requires. )g - mE "SUN" NEWSPAPER.-G. R.

During the last twenty-four hours a general increase in baro metrical pressure has taken place, to the extent of more than two tenths of an inch at southern and eastern stations. Readings in these islands are high and generally uniform. In northern districts the pressure is greatest : at Ardrossan and Shields it exceeds that at Rochefort by three•teuths of an inch. Temperature has risen in the S.W. of Ireland, whilst on the Channel coasts a considerable diminu tion has occurred. The wind yesterday was strong from the N. on our E. coasts, and north-easterly in. Ireland. In the Channel it blew strongly from the eastward. This morning thl w:ncl is rr o crate from the E. in the west and south of these islands : at Ca:e Gris Nez a north-easterly gale is reported. Mist is prevalent on the E. coast.

The Au s t r i an sovere i gn and Court will return to Vienna The Emperorm rfrom Is Francis h will then undertake a n ew e nterprise. He has re solved to visit the provin ce of G alicia about the 26th of fiin a d this month, in the hope o! bringing a b out a definite agree ment with his Polish subjects. The Austrian Poles, dike the Czechs, are dissatisfied because the coac elsions which have been granted to the Hungarians and the Croats are withheld from them. They demand to share in the benefits of the liberal measures which have became law in Aber parts of the empire. It is generally believed that the Emperor will be able to come to terms with 1 is sub jects in this part of the realm; the Po:es, it is justly argued, are too much interested in gaining German sup port to prove very obstinate. The cabmen assert that the strike isooing on well, and they talk bravely enough of "no surrender ;" but they do not get the public to believe them, and as to the railway companies whom it is endeavoured to overbear, they are supremely indifferent to the matter. The Daily Telegraph, which seems to have constituted itself the organ of the cab men, assert that a large number of additional cabmen had joined the strike on Tuesday ; but in the next paragraph the chairman of the strike meeting is reported to complain of the increased number of cabs which were to be seen in the streets. This morning the strike seems virtually over ; not only are a large number of cabs to be seen in the streets, but several drivers have returned to the stands which fox some days have been deserted. The unreasonableness of the strike has been rendered more apparent by some figures published in the Daily News. It appears that at the Euston Station of the London and North-Western Railway a charge of ls. 6d. a week per cab is made. This brings in a revenue of £335 Bs. On the other hand, the company have to pay for policemen who regulate the cabs at the entrance and exit gates, for officers who attend on the platform to superintend the cab-rank, and for a cab clerk and stationery, £409105. lid. So that the company is actually £64 out of peeset, in3tead of making £12,000 a year. The company estimate that if they were to throw open the station to every cabman who paid a penny they would receive £3,000 a year. Clearly, therefore, the present arrangement is entirely for the benefit of the public, who should, therefore, bear the present inconve nience with patience. rpoliE LATE EDITION of "THE SUN" at c W. SMITP'S Camden Stores," 73, Park-street, Camden lown, ; - ;1 ~'~ ~ ,~1 1 ~; ;~ i 3 ,t 2mt LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 9, 18G8. Mr. SCITREIBER, the member for Cheltenham, has signified his intention to retire from the representa tion, and accordingly candidates are ready to take his place. A large meeeting of Conservatives took place in the town-hall, for the purpose of hearing the opinions of Mr. GARDNER; and Sir M. HICKS BEACH presided, and made an interesting speech, briefly summing up the most important topics of the day. As he said, they were about to open the con stitutional campaign under the changed conditions of the new Reform Act, and, like many others of the Conservatives, he expressed the greatest confi dence in the result of the experiment of lower ing the franchise. It is curious to notice that not only was the most comprehensive measure of Reform passed by the Conservatives, but by far the most confidence has been put in the people by their party, which has been vilified and abused as the enemies of the people and the sworn foes of all progress. It is therefore quite idle for the Radicals to go on abusing them after the fashion they do, and declaring that the Opposition really gained the country the Act of 1868. It did nothing of the sort, and the truth is what should be spoken of even at election times if public men wish to secure the respect of the community. To the really inde pendent members of the Liberal ranks the faithful f ler who put principle before party, and wisely think that measures must be sometimes considered 'before men, great thanks are due, and they were ti7nder,d ungrudgingly by the Government and by those best informed of the affair; but it is too bad for those who put every obstacle in the way of the melsure to talk as if they carried it by their un aide 1 exertions, when the contrary was the case. S:r BEACII s:tid tho.t the addresses of the Liberal candidates frequently blamed the Ministry for what they had done, but did not promise any thing better themselves. As for foreign policy the present Government bears the palm be yond all doubt, and Lord STANLEY has The negroes must not be classed with the Indians, but a fresh source of danger and disturbance has of late arisen in the border states from the conduct of some of the hostile tribes. In Kansas, Montana, and Colorado it is reported that their outrages have increased, and a general Indian war is regarded as imminent. Only a few days since we received in telligence that a waggon train had been interrupted by the Indians, and that sixteen guards had been scalped. It is impossible that matters can remain in such a state, an 1 it will be necessary for the Americans to take active measures for the protec tion of their citizens and suhjs!cts. 'lhe elements of mischief appear to be peculiarly life in the great Western continent just now, for not only are the negroes threatening au armed out break in the South, and the Indians using their scalping knives, but the Fenians have come to life again in the great cities, and are holding conven tions in Washington and New York to reorgauise the order, It is a pity that the American Govern- Mr. Thomas Cook, of excursionist celebrity, writes to the Daily News to urge that the railway companies should organise a regular system of vehicles. "In Paris each of the great railway companies has under its own control or actual management a system of large and small omnibuses, the former plying letwixt the stitions and c:ty cen tres, taking up and scttin; dcw ► passengers en route, and the latter des.,:ktc'itod to and from any place within th bJun r'el of ' the city. On arrival at a chief station, s'y that of the Paris, Lyons, and Mediterranean, eight or ten large omnibuses are drawn up c'ose to the baggage salon, ready to take passengers in the various directions to which they are appointed ; and they carry any amount of baggage. there will also be from a dozen to twenty nice small family omnibuses, for parties of two or three to six, ready togolo any part of the city.

CATTLE KILLED BY IMPURE WATER. The Injurious and fatal results arising from tne use of impure and bad water have recently been illustrated at Col. wick, a village in close proximity to Nottingham. Mr. Thos, Elnor, an extensive grazier at that village, a few weeks age lost two valuable horses under somewhat mysterious cir cumstances, and seventeen head of cattle pastured in the same field were also attacked with a serious malady, of whicl some of them died, and the others were so bad that it WSJ necessary to kill them. A post-mortem examination of the carcases made by Dr. Barlow, of Cotgrave, veterinary surgeon, revealed the fact that all the animals had greatly enlarged spleens, and it Ivas conjectured that the same had arisen from the effect of some irritant poison. The loss of cattle under these circumstances being calculated to affect the food supply of the town, and the case having come to the knowledge of the Sanitary -Committee of the town, Mr. Alderman Page, the chairman of the committee, and Mr. William Richards, the sanitary inspector, proceeded to Colwick, and having reason to believe that the water the cattle had been drinking was the cause of their death, obtained specimens for the purpose of analysis. Three specimens were obtained, one of them being taken from a pond in a field in which the stock had been kept. They have been duly submitted to Dr. Beckit Truman, Castle-gate, Nottingham. Mr. Alderman Page deserves the thanks of the town for dealing so promptly with the subject, as, apart from the importance of the facts revealed by this investigation to the grazing interest, the question is one of great moment to the general public of the town and dis trict.—Nottingham Journal. SOMERSET AND THE NINETEENTH CENTURY. A correspondent of a Bristol contemporary gives the following particulars of labourers' wages in Somerset shire :—" I am personally aware of scores of farms where the labourers' wages are not higher than 95., and scarcely ever more than Bs.—and I have known 7s. — out of which they have to allow 9d. or is. per week for rent. A piece of coal is an unheard-of luxury for their hearthstones ; it could not be purchased for much less than M. per ton, without carriage. The fuel they use is wood, gathered generally by the wife on her return home, or purchased at so much the faggot from the farmer, unless they may have been able to secure the top of a tree, &c., &c. His grist corn he receives at Gs. per bushel; but you may depend it is not of the best sample, and the price is deducted from his wages. He works nearer twelve hours per day than ten hours— any little overtime being paid for by a pint of cider, and possibly a crust of bread and cheese. The wages of women run from 6d. to Bd. per day for nearly the same number of hours—not starting so. early, perhaps, in the morning, but mostly returning with the men, after which their household duties have to be done, if done at all. They breakfast before leaving ; but milk is mostly a luxury to the men—lucky, indeed, if they can secure a meal of Swede turnips, mixed with potatoes, and fried in a little fat ; and if the pota toes fall short, the former alone suffices, with a little bread and a drop of weak tea, while the hunch of bread, with a little cheese, butter, or raw bacon, constitutes their midday meal, washed down, perhaps, with a pint of cider. Fresh meat ! yes, the only sight they have of that is at the farmhouse, when after extra hard work they partake of the meal provided for them, hardly after the manner of human beings for eagerness. My heart has often ached when present at the fortnightly reckonings to hear the following interrogations :—Joe ? Yes, sir. How much coming to you ? Let me see ; you didn't work three-qoarters of a day on Tuesday on account of the rain. Half a day, sir. How much grist ? A bushel. Rent 2s. Here reckons up, and bands the son of toil the magnificent sum of 7s. 4d. to support his family for a fortnight. I have known women proceed in the depth of winter, in the cold, early dawn, to the turnip fields, clad in some cast-off coat of the male sex, with the bisgay over their shoulder, to dig turnips from the frozen soil. Ten shillings, with ls. out for rent, is considered good wages near a railway station of the Bristol and Exeter Railway, with the dis tinct understanding of no perquisites whatever. I have heard farmers say that they are aware they rob the turnip fields, but the farmers knowingly wink thereat, so long as they do not rob to feed the pigs. To conclude, I know a woman working on the same farm for years, owned by the occupier, who arrived one winter's morning to dig turnips at eight o'clock instead of 7.30, for which she was mulcted one halfpenny out of her daily wage of sixpence." Mr. Bright's speeches, edited by Professor James E. Thorold Rogers, have been published by Messrs. Mac millan. A meeting of " gentlemen willing to join in the defence of British freedom, as represented in the person of William Murphy," was held in Manchester on Monday, but it WAS " strictly private." It is stated that Murphy was pre sent, and that the main object of the meeting was to raise a "defence fund." Fifteen Irishmen have been charged at the police court, Stockton-on-Tees, with riot and assaulting the police. They were the ringleaders of a body cf Irish who had got up a drunken row a day or two ago in the town, and turned it into a bear-garden. Ten of tLem were sent to prison for a month. Among the persons charged at Liverpool the other day with being drunk and disorderly was a woman named Mary Herd. The bridowell-keepor, in answer to the usual question, "Is the prisoner known?" replied that she had been "up" 117 times. Sho was committed to gaol for a month, and the conviction was ordered to be recorded. A Monsieur B-, well known in Parisian life, having recently lost every shilling at a certain sporting club where play is carried on in Paris, went to the country, where his sister lent him £l5O. He won all back again, and got a considerable sum of money in hand. He then wont to his hotel, to his bootmakor, and tailor, paid them, and made arrangements to bo fed, clothed, and shod for ten years. He ought to have been a Britisher for his originality. The Leeds Express says Mr. J. S. Mill has written as follows to Mr. Holyoake, of London :—" Avignon, Aug. 28, 1868.—Dear Sir,—l enclose a subscription of £lO to the fund for defraying the expenses of Mr.Bradlaugh's election to the House of Commons. I do so in the confidence that Mr. Bradlaugh would not contest any place where, by so doing, he would risk the return of a Tory in the room of a sup porter of Mr. Gladstone and of the disendowment of the Irish Chureh.—l am, dear sir, yours very faithfully, J. S. Mill.—Austin Holyoake, Esq." At Caldon Lowe, Staffordshire, an attempt has been made to level a rock by a monster blast. Tho rock formed part of the limestone quarries of the North Stafford shire Railway Company. The rock had been perforated at its base, a chamber five feet square having been formed at the end of the tunnel. In this chamber 36 cwt. of powder was deposited, and when the powder was fired the rock opened and crumbled as if by magic. The blast was not quite so successful as was expected, but a minor blast is expected to complete the operation, by which, in all, some 14,000 tons of limestone will have been dislodged. The alleged murder of a police officer in Shoreditch was inquired into yesterday by Mr. J. Humphreys, coroner, at the Bull Tavern, Lever-street, St. Luke's. The deceased is Charles Clay, the warrant officer at tho Worship-street Police-court, who was alleged to have been murdered in Norfolk-gardens, Shoreditch, while waiting to arrest a thief. The jury returned a verdict " that the deceased met his death by accidental falls, and that he was sober at the time." The coroner read the verdict, and the foreman said " Was sober at the time." Coroner : I have read the words to you. Foreman—We wish it to go in, for misstatements have been made, and therefore cal• culated to damage. Coroner—l am bound to accept your verdict, but lam quite of a different opinion. Officer, dissolve the court. The proceedings then terminated. The quarterly return of pauperism for the three months ending June 1868 shows a decrease every week from the beginning of the quarter to the end. The number re lieved in England and Wales in the last week of March was 993,646, but in the fourth week of June the total had fallen to 922,563; compared, however, with other years the return is not reassuring. In 1866 the paupers ,in receipt of relief on the last day of June were 841,489 ; for the same week in 1867 there were 884,823 ; and for 1868, 929,563. The metropolis is charged with the greatest number of that class of the com munity, described as "indefinite and non-productive," f. 9 per cent. of its whole population being included under that category. Wales comes next with 6.6 per cent. ; the South Eastern dibtrict follows with 6.4 per cent., and York is the lowest with 3.9 per cent. THE NEW ATLANTIC CABLE.—The Journal du Havre says :—" The Transatlantic cable from Brest to New York, an undertaking which appeared to commence under such brilliant auspices, does not appear to go on so well as the shareholders might desire. Great fear is felt that the United States will refuse the concession—so far as concerns that Government—to M. Erlanger, who has committed the great crime, in their eyes, of having been the banker of the Southern States during the rebellion." A DANGEROUS VISITOR.

If the man Murphy is really his own adviser, and not merely the agent of persons of higher station and of even less principle, he must be given the credit of considerable shrewdness in his recent proceedings at Manchester, says a contemporary. To hold an itinerant lecturer to bail on the charge of using language likely to produce a breach of the peace is not a very startling step, though the magistrates of the Lancashire towns were a long time making up their minds to take it in the case of Murphy. But to hold a candidate for the re presentation of Manchester to bail on a similar charge is a step the very notion of which seems to have absolutely paralyzed the Manchester authori ties. It might have been expected, however, that they would before this have convinced themselves that the new shape which Murphy has given to his proceedings does not in the least alter their essential character. At present the magistrates stand exposed to the charge of seriously neglecting their duty. The proper course would have bean to consign Murphy to gaol until he and Lis sureties had paid the sums for which they are severally liable, and until some other of his friends could be found to give more substantial bail for his good behaviour. We suspect that when once this pro cess is found to involve serious and repeated losses, Murphy will either be obliged to moderate his language or find his supporters inclined to fight shy of him. The distinction on which he seems to rely for impunity is, it is almost needless to say, without foundation. There is but one law for Parliamentary candidates and for the rest of the Queen's subjects. If it were not so, the two or three months preceding a general election might easily become a period of absolute anarchy. In Ireland, for example, any number of Fenian agita tors night come forward as candidates for Parlia ment, and in that character might spout any amount of treason with impunity. Indeed, of the two an electioneering speech is more obnoxious than a lecture. The latter is nominally intended for persons who agree' with the lecturer, but on Saturday Murphy addressed himself to the electors of Manchester generally, so that among those formally invited to hear him were included a large number of the very persons whom his language was likely to provoke to a breach of the peace. The question' for the magistrates to consider is, not in what capacity Murphy has used certain words, but what is the nature of the words used and under what circumstances they were spoken. Supposing them to be satisfied upon these two points, they need not trouble themselves about anything else. If the notion that the law is silent during election time once gains currency, it will be impossible for any peaceable person to live in Lancashire during the next three months. Murphy will no doubt offer himself as a candidate at all the towns where there are Irish to be 'provoked, and the progress which was interrupted last year will be resumed and completed with triumphant impunity this autumn. We do not say this out of any sympathy with the rioters of Saturday. The fact that Murphy and his abettors are infinitely the more blameable of the two by no means exonerates the Irish mob. The latter came fully prepared for a row, and had actually proceeded to overt acts of violence before Murphy came on the ground. It is only in a secondary sense, therefore, that his speech can be said to have produced this particular breach of the peace.. It was the result, it is true, of a great many former speeches, but still the rioters cannot plead that they were surprised into violating the law. So long as even justice is dealt out on both sides, and Murphy comes in for his full share of punishment, we have no wish to see his adversaries let off too easily. Murphy is virtually in the posi tion of a man who tempts another to commit a crime, and 'though a man in that position may be • justly visited with the same severity as the actual criminal, the latter must still bear his own burden. To hold the Manchester rioters excused Murphy's conduct would be to establish a principle which, though it might do no substantial injustice in the present case—since a broken head is a very much smaller punishment than Murphy and his friend, deserve—would be capable of the most dangerous applications. If it were understood that when ever a speech is followed by a riot, the speaker is to be alone held responsible, the law which pro hibits language tending to prod ice breaches of the peace would be deprived of an important safe guard. The knowledge that rioting will certainly be punished does afford some security that it will not be indulged in except under serious provoca tion ; whereas, if the existence of provocation were allowed to involve impunity, freedom of speech would be put at the mercy of any set of ruffians who happened to dislike the particular sentiments uttered. Only, if the rioters are to be punished with any salutary effect, it is absolutely essential that Murphy should not be allowed to twist the law at his pleasure. Every Roman Catholic in Manchester is convinced, and rightly convinced, that Murphy has forfeited his recognizances, and ought before now to have been in confinement. Unfortunately, the lower class of Roman Catho lics will not stop at this. They will attribute to magisterial sympathy what is really the result of magisterial timidity. They will assume that the original binding over to keep the peace was a farce, and that Murphy's impudent evasion of the law has the tacit sanction of the authorities. If the Manchester magistrates do not mean to take any measures against him for what he has done al ready—not merely for what he may do hereafter— they had better have let the rioters alone al together. Still, Murphy's proceedings do reveal a pceitive defect in the law as it - stands, or at all events as it is administered. So long as Murphy confines his operations to towns with a large Roman Catholic population of a low class he can be dealt with easily enough. lie goes about defaming in the grossest manner two classes of innocent people : Roman Catholic clergymen and Roman Catholic nuns. When he does this in the hearing of an excitable Irish mob a riot follows, and Murphy can be locked up for using words tending to provoke a breach of the peace. But it is quite possible that he might make the very same speech in a locality where it would give extreme pain and annoyance to unoffending people without there being any danger of a riot. Suppose, for example, he were to set up his tub outside the door of a Roman Ca tholic convent situated in a Protestant neighbour hood, and there to give an imaginary , picture of the life led by the inmates. In Murphy's hands such a picture would be a simple collection of all the filth which can be engendered in a peculiarly filthy mind. The nuns might be going in and out all day on errands of charity, and be exposed at any time to the pollution of Murphy's obscenities both from his own mouth and from the mouths of such of his hearers as choose to promote the Pro testant cause by the same engaging methods. This is by no means an imaginary picture. Some time back the Roman Catholic women of Birmingham were subjected to a systematic street persecution in the shape of quotations from the " Confessional Unmasked " made in the hearing by Protestant passers-by. If these things were said of indivi duals they would bring the speaker under the law of libel. Even Murphy dare not attribute to this or that priest., or this or that nun, what ho attri butes without let or hindrance to such perfectly defined classes as priests or nuns. So far, there fore, as their individval characters are concerned, Roman Catholics can protect themselves; and it certainly does seem that when the reputation of whole classes of unoffending subjects is attacked in this way, it should be the part of the Govern ment to protect them. Mr. Murphy is reported to have declared that Wore he had finished his lectures he would prove to the people of Birmingham that " every Popish priest is a murderer, a cannibal, a liar, and a pickpocket." Surely a man who makes it his business to inflame the minds of others by such wild and scandalous accusations against every Popish priest should be punished, as he would be punished had he dared to sly as much of any particular Popish priest.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE• The customary brigading of the troops in garri son at Portsmouth on Southsea-common was on Alonday made the occasion by Lieut.-General and Governor Sir George Buller, K.C.8., for the pre sentation, at the close of the morning's movements, of distinguished service medals to a corporal and private of the 33d (Duke of 'Wellington's) infantry, and to a trooper of the Dragoon Guards, forming one of the Lieut.-General's personal escort. The troops brigaded on Southsea-common at 10.30 a.m., and consisted of the C and H Field Batteries of the 11th Brigade of Royal Artillery, the 33d, 35th, and 67th regiments of infantry. After marching past Lieut.-Gen. Buller, the infantry formed line on the 33d, the 35th sending out a strong body of s!dr. mishers, with supports from the 33d, and the bat teries of artillery unlimbering and opening fire from positions on either flank of the line of infantry. The skirmishers were soon driven in, and after some artillery and Snider fire from right to left, the in fantry retired in open column from rear of the centre to a second position, covered by the artillery. Here a second stand was made, the infantry deploy ing into line, and the artillery taking up a position on the left flank with one battery and holding an other in reserve. The second position proved as untenable as the first, and the force was retired by divisions in echellon, covered by the fire of the artil lery. Again the infantry reformed in line in rear of their previous position, an I this time the defence was successful, the force, after a brisk fire from Snider and Armstrong, advancing by echellon move ment, the 33d and 35th in open column, with the 67th in the centre in line, and artillery on the rear of each flank. An alarm of cavalry, the 33d and 35th forming squares, with the 67th retaining its line formation, and deafening rolls of fire from field artillery and rifle brought the morning's evolutions to a finish ; when the troops having formed three sides of a square, with the Lieut.-General and his Staff in the centre, the warrants directing the pre sentation of the medals, forwarded from the Horse Guards to Sir George Buller, were read by Col. G. H. S. Willis, Corporal Charles Giffard and Private Daniel Collins, of the 33d Infantry, were then called to the front, and presented by Sir George Bailer with the distinguished service medal for service in the field before Magdala, the gallant General ac companying the presentation in each instance with a few well-chosen sentences on the duties the reci pients had performed, and on the honours still open to them as soldiers. Trooper Scott, of the s t h Dragoon Guards, was also presented with the silver medal and £5 gratuity awarded by the hors e Guards regulations fGr long service and good con duct. We are informed on reliable authority that the announcement made by some of our contemporar ies that the 33d regiment will be presented with new . colours on Southsea-common on the 15th inst. without foundation.
