On Monday the 2d battalion (Bth) King's Regi ment, which has only recently arrived at Aldershot, was inspected on the General Parade, South Camp, by Lieut.-Gen. the lion. Sir James Yorke Scarlett, K.C.8., commanding the division. The regiment formed up in line in open order at half-past 11 o'clock, and received the General with the usual salute. After inspection, they broke into open column right in front, marched past in slow and in quick time, and in quarter distance column. Several battalion movements were performed, after which the regiment was marched to its private parade, where it was addressed by Col. Robertson, who informed the officers and men that the Lieut.- General Commanding had expressed his approbation of the cleanliness, discipline, and movements of the regiment. On Tuesday the infantry regiments of the Alder shot division were exercised in field manoeuvres. The troops formed up shortly after 10 o'clock on the Queen's Parade, North Camp, in line of con tinuous columns. As soon as the formation was complete Lieut.-Gen. the Hon. Sir James Yorke Scarlett, K.C.8., commanding the division, accom panied by Col. Newdegate, Assist.-Adjt.-General, Capt. Lockhart, Deputy A ssist.-Adjt.-Gen., Lieut. Knollys, A.D.C., and other members of the divi sional staff, rode upon the ground. The troops gave the usual salute, and the Lieut.-General made a minute inspection of the ranks, after which he pro ceeded to the saluting base and saw the troops march past in open column of grand divisions, and in the following order :—Pioneers, bands, drums, and bugles of the 3 d Infantry Brigad e , St a ff an d Major-Gen. Sir A. Horsford, Tr 51st King's Own Light Infantry, Col. Peyton and 98th Regi ment ; Pioneers, bands, and drums of the Ist bri gade, Staff and Col. Robertson, Acting Brigadier, Major Hamilton and 2d battalion Bth (King's) Regiment, Col. Thompson, and 34th Regiment ; Pioneers, bands, drums, and bugles of the 2d bri gade, Staff and Major-Gen. Carey, C. 8., Major Bowdler and 40th (2d Somersetshire) Regiment, Col. Harrison and 86th Staffordshire Volunteers, Col. Synge and 43d (Monmouthshire) Light In fantry. After passing the saluting base they re formed columns of companies from grand divisions at the double, c ountermarched by ranks, and marched past en masse of columns, at quarter dis tance left in front (the bands playing on the reverse flank), and preceded by staff brigadiers and regi nsental commanders. Having regained their origi nal ground they again countermarched by ranks, and went past by brigades in lines of contiguous columns. Several field movements, including those peculiar to light infantry, followed. The troops were furnished with'lo rounds of blank ammunition per man, and the firing was excellent. The whole returned to quarters about 1 o'd.lock. The weather was very favourable for the manoeuvres. On Tuesday the Duke of Cambridge made an inspection of some new commissariat waggons and carts on the parade ground at the rear of the Horse Guards, Whitehall. In addition to his Royal Highness, there were Proem At the inspection Sir Hope Grant, K.C.8., Quartermaster-General; Sir E. ISTetherall, K.C.8., Deputy Quarto rmaster- General ; and Sir W. Power, Commissariat- General in-Chief. The waggons and carts were designed by Assistant Commissariat-General B C. 8., and built by Mr. Thomas A.yshford, of the Britannia Works, Walham-green. The first vehicle examined was a commissariat bread waggon, co 7 istructed to carry two and a half tons. The interior of it is fitted with six tiers of shelves, for bre'sd or other stores, and these may, in case of necessity, be adapted fur sleeping, or may be emplwed as ambu lances for the wounded. The length of the waggon is 10ft. 4in., the breadth 4ft., and the height 4ft. Bin. It turns in its own length without strain, the body being built with a crank on the bottom sides, affording room for the high front wheels. The waggon may be used for the carriage of bread, meal, corn, or powder, and for several other purposes, as already indicated, when the covers are taken off. The second was a spring cart of a similar construc tion, capable of carrying a ton and a half. No. 3 was a tip cart adapted for any purpose, and so built that it may be taken to pieces in 20 minutes. It is so constructed that the least possible stress is put on the backs of the horses drawing it, and it is fitted with a set of tilt hoops and a canvas cover to pro tect men and merchandise from rain. All the vehicles examined yesterday are so arranged that the sides and ends of them can be easily taken off, so that there is very little difficulty in packing theta closely on board ship for transport. The waggons and carts have painted on them instructions to the drivers regarding the weight they are capable of carrying, when fairly laden, over good and bad roads respectively. The Duke of Cambridge spent upwards of half an hour in examining the machines, and at the conclusion of his inspection expressed his approval of their design and construction, which are both finished and substantial. Staff Assist.-Surg. Wilson has been attached to the 4th Depot Battalion for duty. The Field- Marshal Commanding-in-Chief has been pleased to approve the appointment of Brevet-Colonel H. W. Montagu, commanding Royal Engineers, Eastern district, vice Brevet-Col. M'Causland, Royal Engi neers, retired on full pay with the rank of Major- General. Staff-Surgeon Ramsey, M.D., is under orders to proceed to Colchester for duty with the 4th Depot Battalion, vice Dr. Poulton, appointed Surgeon of the 35th Regiment. Staff Assistant- Surgeon O'Brien has been removed from Colchester to Dublin ; and Staff Assistant-Surgeon Wilson, from Dublin, is appointed to Colchester in his stead. Lieut. Lambe, 96th Regiment, is held in readiness to embark with the draught now under orders, in the room of Ensign Wix, who retires by the sale of his commission. The Minotaur, 34, screw (armoured iron) frigate, 6,621 tons, 1,350 horse-power, Captain James G. Goodenough, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral F. Warden, C. 8., Commanding-in-Chief the Channel squadron, steered out of Portsmouth harbour yes terday morning, and anchored at Spithead, the first rendezvous of the Channel squadron for the present year. There has been a great deal made public of late concerning the steaming capabilities of the ships forming the Channel squadron in its experi mental cruises made last year, and more particu larly in the closing cruise of November last. These statements have been more or less distorted, but it is at the same time remarkable that those ships which appear to have been thegreatest failures under trials of continuous steaming include vessels that have given the greatest proportion of indicated over nominal power on the measured mile. The apolo gists of these vessels will say that their screws have been set at an exceptionally flue pitch by the maker of their engines expressly to gain an increased num ber of revolutions on the mile, and an increase thereby of indicated power ; but that such means seriously militate against the ship's speed in a six or eight hours' trial at sea. On the other hand it is asserted that the new system inaugurated by the present Controller of the Navy, of imposing upon contractors with the Admiralty for the con struction of engines for her Majesty's ships the condition that the set of engines contracted for shall indicate on their trial six times their nomi nal power in lieu of the ordinary four times, is a most unwise regulation. It compels a maker of engines to have recourse to surface condensors, superheating apparatus, and other complex addi tions, which is only a stupid attempt to cram one third more engine power into a vessel than the old nominal rate. The new rule has undoubtedly de stroyed whatever value was possessed by the previ ously accepted rule. If we look at the results of the competitive speed trial made with the fleet under full steam on Nov. 26 last, and take the Warrior as the comparative vessel, as being the oldest built in the fleet, it appears to furnish positive proof that the first built of all our ironclads is still the swiftest vessel at sea that we possess. It must be observed, also, that the Warrior's boilers are her original set, and have 4- sths of their life worn out of them. They were consequently, on the day of their trial at sea, only loaded with 201 b. on the safety-valves. Those of some of the other ships were loaded to 281 b. and 301 b. At the conclusion of the trial the respective positions were :-1, Achilles ; 2, Lord Warden ; 3, Warrior ; 4, Prince Consort ; 5, Pallas ; 6, Bellerophon ; 7, Minotaur ; 8, Lord Clyde. The total number of the revolutions made by each ship's engines during the eight hours of the trial was :—Achilles, 25,155 ; Lord War den, 27,176 ; Warrior, 23,400 ; Prince Consort, 25,488 ; Pallas, 25,682 ; Bellerophon, 31,875 ; Minotaur, 25,748 ; Lord Clyde, 27,015. The di rection of the wind from 10 to 12 o'clock was E. by S. ; from 2to 4 o'clock, E. to N.E. Its force was from 10 to 12 o'clock from 3 to 2 ; from 2 to 4 o'clock it sank to 1. The sea was quite smooth, the weather barometer standing at 30.29. The troopship Lady Octavia, which has been chartered by the Government for the conveyance of reinforcements of various corps to St. Helena, the Cape of Good Hope, and the Mauritius, having been inspected by Major -General F. Murray, embarked the following detachments at Government-quay, Gravesend, yesterday, under the superintendence of the officers of the divisional staff from Chatham —viz., 15 non-commissioned officers and gunners of the 12th Brigade, 16 men of the 13th Brigade, 10 men of the 17th Brigade, four soldiers' wives, and four children, and 35 non-commissioned officers and gunners, five soldiers' wives, and six children of the Depot Brigade, Royal Artillery, for St. Helena; 15 men of the 12th Brigade, 24 gunners, two soldiers' wives and five children of the 13th Brigade, 18 non-commissioned officers and gunners, five soldiers' wives, and seven children of the 17th Brigade, 45 men of all ranks, three soldiers' wives, and ten children of the Depot Brigade, Royal Artillery, and six men of the 99th (Lanarkshire) Regiment, for the Cape of Good Hope ; one armourer-sergeant, wife, and two children of the Coast Brigade, one sergeant, wife, and child, and three tailors of the Depot Brigade, Royal Artillery, and one man of the 32d Regiment, and one staff sergeant of the 99th Regiment for the Mauritius The following officers embarked with the troops : viz., Captain Horatio Priestley, 32d Regiment, in command : Captain Charles Burton, 99th Regi ment ; Ensign Henry P.

PRICE.. 4d. STAMPED sd. I 7 IPEACIIMEII 7 While Congress Was peaceably discussing the business before it about two o'clock on the after noon of the 21st February, messengers appeared in both Chambers from the PRESIDENT, and from the Secretary of War, to announce that the former had removed the latter, appointing LORENZO THOMAS Adjutant-General of the Army, to the vacant office, ad interim ; at the same time the Senate was in formed that Major-General G. li. THOMAS had been promoted Lieutenant-General and General by Brevet. The Senate immediately ceased its de bates, and went into secret session, in which it re mained for seven hours, when the following resolu tion was adopted by a strict party vote : " Whereas the Senate has received and considered the ccmmunication of the President, stating that ho had re moved Edwin M. Stanton as Secretary of War, and has designated the Adjutant-General of the Army to act as Secretary of War, ad interim: therefore, resolved, by the Senate of the United States, that, under the Constitution and laws of the United States, the President has no power to remove the Secretary of War and designate another offi cer to pet form the duties of that office." The House also postponed its regular business to the consideration of the subject, and referred the following resolution to the Reconstruction Com mittee:— "Resolved, that Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, be impeached for high crimes and misde meanours." Washington was thrown into a state of excitement unknown since the night of LINCOLN'S assassination. The PRESIDENT had exploded the magazine, and all desired to learn what breach had been effected, and who was to rush in to occupy the citadel. The following letter was the cause of the commotion : "Executive Mansion, Washington, D.C., Feb. 21. " Sir,—By virtue of the power and authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and laws of the United States, you are hereby removed from office as Secretary of War, and your functions as such will termi nate upon receipt of this communication. "You will transfer to Brevet Major-General Lorenza Thomas, Adjutant-General of the Army, who has this day been authorised to act as Secretary of War, ad interim, a ll records, books, papers, and other public property now in your custody and charge.—Respectfully yours, "ANDREW JOHNSON, President. " To the lion. Edwin M. Stanton, Washington, D.C." Shortly after its receipt by the Secretary, Adjutant- General THOMAS proceeded to the War Office, where he met Mr. STANTON, whom he informed that, by direction of the PRESIDENT, he had come to relieve him. Mr. STANTON asked when he in tended to take possession ; adding, ironically, that he supposed time would be allowed to remove papers. General TllomAs replied that he was noA in possession. On the General's withdrawal, several leading Senators called at the office to advise Mr. STANTON to resist the order. Notes of encourage ment poured in on the Secretary, and promises of help. His friends procured from the Circuit Court a warrant to arrest Adjutant-General THOMAS for infringing the Tenure-of-Office Act. The Adju tan is personally an enemy to STANTON, through whose means he had been removed from the post. He was restored by a special order of the PRESIDENT after an absence of two years, and but a few days prior to the enzbroglio, having re sumed his post from General TOWNSEND on the 14th February. In Mr. JOHNSON'S eyes his enmity to STANTON was, perhaps, a better qualification than his known administrative ability. Major-General GEORGE H. THOMAS, to whom in his difficulties the PRESIDENT, failing SHERMAN, has turned, is an officer second only to SHERMAN in distinction. During all the operations by which SHERMAN eventually doubled up the Confederacy, THOMAS, who was one of his generals of division, was his right-hand man. It may not be without interest to our readers to recall the connection of these two distinguished officers, who, under the present complications at Washington, have been thrust by the PRESIDENT so prominently forward. When HOOD superseded JOHNSTON in the last year of the war by order of JEFFERSON DAVIS another system of tactics was inaugurated to stop SIIERMAN'S advance. Following the example of NAPOLEON on the march of the Allies to Paris, HOOD swung round to the invaders' rear, hoping to draw him back by placing himself on the line of communication. SHERMAN detached THOMAS to deal with HooD, and proceeded on his devastating track. TimmAs, outnumbered, re treated on Nashville, drawing his enemy on, while he kept him at bay by skilful manceuvreing and a determined front. On the 30th November he re pulsed a fierce attack on his entrenchments at Franklin, in which 6,000 Confederate soldiers fell, and no less than thirteen general officers. THOMAS retired, and ou the 2d December HOOD established his lines in front of Nashville, where he awaited re inforcements under PRICE. The moment was critical, for if Nashville had fallen HOOD would have been greatly strengthened in this effort the last aggressive move made by the South. On the lbth December, THOMAS, having gathered up all his available strengh, attacked Hoop's position, and, after a battle which extended over two days, routed him, capturing most of his artil lery and many thousand prisoners. General THOMAS'S headquarters are now in the city the scene of his decisive victory, and failing with GRANT, the director of these operations, failing with SHERMAN, THOMAS'S immediate chief and associate in them, the PRESIDENT has now turned to him for aid. ANDREW JOHNSON offers him a great bait ; he proposes to make him in rank the equal of GRANT, preparatory to conferring on him the Command-in-Chief ; but the example of his renowned colleague, General SHERMAN, is before him. That officer, in a note to the PRESIDENT, courteously declined the new com mand, and the proposed promotion, and Mr. JOHN SON has withdrawn the nomination. The note was forwarded unsealed, through General GRANT, much to the PRESIDENT'S annoyance. It is generally thought that THOMAS, though a Southerner, by birth being a native of Virginia, is too staunch a Northern soldier to aid the PRESIDENT'S plan of plunging the Union into another Civil War, and will also decline the promotion. If so, the PRESI. DENT'S attempts to draw into his party any of the most celebrated of the Union soldiers will fail, and with it will fail his power of resisting Congress by force. The difficulty people on this side expe rience in calculating the position is in esti mating how far ANDREW JOHNSON may him self be in error. Here is a man persisting in a course which leads to open war or to his own political annihilation, for, if convicted, he is rendered incapable by the Constitution of again holding public office. We suppose that this man must understand the circumstances surround ing him, and we imagine a force at his back not the less real because we cannot see it. All try to penetrate the mystery, to perceive the power on which ANDREW JOHNSON must rely in his battle with Congress. It is, however, not even impro bable that the person most completely deluded may be ANDREW JOHNSON himself. We know that in his celebrated tour he acted asif in the interest of his enemies, doing exactly what they wanted him to do, destroying his influence and injuring the cause he had at heart. From the day he assumed office he has been ceaselessly employed in thwart ing the accomplishment of his own desires. If ANDREW JOHNSON'S administration has been a series of mistakes, an apt illustration of the couplet applied to the King, one word being changed— t4 Who never wrote a foolish thing, And never did a wise one," is it unlikely that he may have deliberately raised the whirlwind, without any means of directing it, that blows his own destruction ? Frequent cases of such infatuation occur in history, and notwith standing the PRESIDENT'S threat to maintain the Executive authority by force, and the issue to which he has compelled Congress, we may see him bowled out with scarcely a struggle. The continued decline in gold is a strong indication that ANDREW JOHN SON'S powers of resistance do not equal either his expectation or his inclination, and he may speedily find himself lost in even a greater obscurity than usually falls to the lot of ex-rresidents.—/Inglo - American Times. ~~ ~: :~ ~ i L~Q<-? tD ~~ SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Mr. Gladstone's Church Rates 13111 has passed through committee, but not, the Times observes, without altera tions which indicate that serious difficulties must arise in carrying into effect the compulsory clauses. Indeed, as the bill now stands, it may be doubted whether they are not already rendered either nugatory or so unjust as to be impracticable. The plain fact is, that all elaborate arrange ments to secure the Church from the slightest breath of inconvenience are found as impracticable as other so-called " securi,les." It is impossible to compass their object with. out extending them a great deal further than is intended, and the net which Churchmen design for their protection will only serve to entangle them. Such arrangements are only necessary on the supposition that nobody can be trusted, that every Dissenter is to be feared, and, as far as possible, excommunicated, and that not even the mutual relations of the members of one of the oldest institutions in the country can be left to take care of themselves. The attempt is unworthy, and will not improve the character of the Church for generosity, while it is clear that it must prove futile. There is valuable evidence to shew that such precautions are perfectly unnecessary. The rector of Liverpool has stated in our columns that for years a volun. tart' rate has been levied in his parish upon just such an understanding as could be provided if the first clause of Mr. Gladstone's bill stood alone. It is agreed that no Fait shall be prosecuted for the recovery of the rate. That understanding is sufficient to prevent all ill feeling, and the rate has been paid and adminis. tered without difficulty. Similar cases, we believe, have occurred elsewhere. Such experience ought, we think, to be decisive of the question. Let us simply pro vide that no more suits shall be instituted—in other words, that litigation and consequent quarrelling shall cease ; and . let everything else be left as it stands. Mr. Gladstone'a object would then be gained ; church rates would still be levied, but the grievance of the Nonconformists would be removed, and we are satisfied that church rates would suffer no appreciable inconvenience from the lack of an elaborate legal security. On the contrary, the removal of an old-standing grievance, if generously accorded, would tend to put them on a better footing with Nonconformists than ever before. Mr. Gladstone's bill was, the Standard remarks, accepted by the House of Commons with practical unanimity. Mr. Henley could only find thirty mem., hers to go with him into the lobby on his division against the principle of the measure. The fact is, the House was wearied of the whole question, and caught at a chance of getting rid of it by a so-called " compro mise." The Liberals consented to abandon something of the letter of their demands, and a large body of Conserva. tives hastened to surrender to them the substance. After the discussion upon the second reading of the bill it was quite evident that all efforts to oppose it would be vain, and the Government wisely declined, yesterday afternoon, to throw any obstacles in its way. Sir Stafford Northcote observed, with great justice, that the present system, which really inflicts not the slightest injustice or hardship upon any individual, was that best adapted to the wants of the Church ; but he allowed, too, the desirability, in view of the stage at which the discussion has arrived, of settling the question : and in the want of all encouragement from the House to the Government to introduce a real and not a sham compromise, he abstained from opposing the bill, and gave his best aid to improve it. The Post wishes to reform the diplomatic service, and proposes two measures to remedy the present state of things. First, that the permanent Under-Secretary should not be a mere Foreign-office clerk. The traditional information of the department should be carried on by the bead clerks, to whose position might be given additional consideration by the C.B. or some other mark of distinc tion for good services ; but the Under-Secretary should be essentially a man of the world. In France and other countries this office is generally held by a member of the diplomatic body. Such a gentleman is acquainted with foreign manners, foreign countries, and foreign languages, and in his communications with Foreign Ministers carries with him a greater authority. Another measure earnestly recommended is a reversal of the present order of promotions—i.e., the Post would re frain from giving great pensions for doing nothing to per sons who can do something ; and we would not give great salaries to persons to do something who can do nothing. We agree, in short, with many of our contemporaries that it is at once expensive, disadvantageous, and ridiculous to see the persons we could name employed as our Ministers and our Ambassadors, and tae persons we could name not employed. The waste is one of money, of talent, and of credit. The Daily News, in an article on the affairs in America, remarks that, to the American people, great good may come out of the present serious condition of affairs—to Mr. Johnson himself it is an unmitigated calamity. Yet, it is impossible to feel the least personal sympathy with him. Even could we regard him as a martyr to what he igno rantly believes to, be the cause of the Constitution, his folly in so obstinately provoking his fate would tarnish the lustre of his martyrdom. But he is only the martyr of an obstinacy and self-will which are without a parallel except among Stuarts and Bourbons. He has steadily refused every compromise. He has fought Congress at every step, has presumed on its forbearance, and has forced it at last to put forth all his power. We will not say anything of the issue of the struggle, being convinced that there will he no struggle. Presidential usurpation will go the way which all usurpation goes in the affairs of freemen of the English race. The American Senate will not lack the courage to dismiss Mr. Johnson to obscurity, the American people will not be wanting in the self-respect and the saga• city to endorse the verdict, and in a few weeks our Minister at Washington will be received by President Wade. On consideration of the whole subject the Herald thinks that the only means left to extirpate inveterate drunken ness in the British army is to adopt the system of punish ment adopted in the French army for that and other serious violations of military rule. The offender is sent to the " companies of discipline," which always remain in the colonies, employed, not in military duties, btt in the making of roads, forming field works, or other similar employments, without any fixed term of punishment being imposed. One year's uninterrupted good conduct will enable him to rejoin his regiment, while perseverance in his faults will consign him to the " Pioneers," where he will be much more severely dealt with, and obliged to remain to the end of his engagement ; then leaving with his discharge written on yellow paper, which precludes his future employment in any service connected with the State. Now, we do not see why such a corps as would re present the French companies of discipline should not be formed, and stationed in some of our West Indian islands, where incorrigible offenders, instead of being drummed out of our service, should be compelled to labour in insalu brious climates, and earn their sustenance by the sweat of their brow. The plan of the Abyssinian campaign and the means of carrying it out now assumes, the Telegraph points out, a definite shape. The base at Zoulla will be guarded by a brigade of native infantry, established in small posts between Annesley Bay and Senaf6. Ample measures have been adopted to secure full command of the defile and the head of the pass, and to provide for the uninter rupted transport of stores from the bay to the highlands. After Sonde the next post will be Ategerat, which, as we long ago pointed out, posssesses considerable strategic value, and keeps watch on the Prince of Tigre. The third camp will be formed at Dongolo, situated in a defile sepa rating the eastern from the western watershed ; and the fourth at Antalo, which will be the main dept of supply for the active division moving on Magdala. All these camps will be connected together through intermediate posts occupied by cavalry, upon whom will devolve the duty of maintaining prompt communication along the whole line of operations from Senaf6 to the front, where ever it may he. The whole of the Tory scheme for the pacification of Ireland is now, says the Star, before the world.

That is all. Thus s they propose to extinguish F en i an i sm, and even. u put an endtothe chronic rebelli on w hi ch may be said to have never ceased in Ireland since the days of the great O'NeilLs. A trans action with the railway companies, and a charter for a new university. W e certa i nly did not expect muc h , b ut this is the smallest monstrous mouse that ever crept forth of a mountain. But, somebody will doubtless ask us, what of the land and the Church ? Did not Lord Mayo say some thing on these subjects? He did. He said a good deal about them. He said that the Government meant to insti tute a new inquiry—the two-hundredth, or thereabouts, we should think—into the whole question of land tenure ; and he distinctly declared that, while they are willing to learn all that can be learned from Earl Russell's commission on the management of the Church revenues, they are deter mined not to sanction the abolition of the Irish Church. It is true that Lord Mayo proposes to bring in some inno cent little bill to encourage written contracts, and help, as he thinks, towards the securing of compensation for tenants' improvements. But we know that if such a mea sure were one of a really penetrating and efficacious nature, it never would be introduced while an inquiry into the whole subject is actually going on. Without, there. fore, too hastily judging of Lord Mayo's little measure before it has been fully explained, we are not only per. matted, but compelled, by the nature of his own announce. mont, to believe that it will be something merely intended to bop up a h4r.ralego appekinoi of legislation. , / j ~"l ' J .••••• o Ved a 1, p 1 " t e g •••1.
