PAYING DEAR FOR A SPREE.—George Gordon, gentle man, 3, Regent -square, Ileary Vaughan, medical stu dent, 69, Stanhope-street, and Ch ar l es S an d ers , c l e rk, 14, Dalby-terrace, City-road, were placed at the bar be fore Mr. Bingham, charged with being drunk and dis orderly. Gordon and Vaughan were further charged with assaulting Mr. John Wells, and his son, Charles Wells, jewellers, 12, Ryder's-court. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Wells and his son, that about 12 o'clock on Saturday night he was alarmed by hearing,a great noise in the passage at the side of his house, which leads to a place called the saloon, and on going out to see the cause of it, he was assaulted by the three defendants, who were very drunk, with language of the foulest nature. Witness closed the iron gate leading to the passage, when Vaughan made a blow at him with a stick, which had he not eluded, would have inflicted serious injury. His son then came to his aid, and in ejecting the defendant from the passage, Gordon struck him. A constable was then sent for, and defendants given into 'custody. The defendants said they had been dining together, and t a k en t oo much to drink, they were now exceedingly sorry for what had ocurred. Mr. Bingham, after commenting on the conduct of the defendant. fined Gordon and Vaugham 40s. each for ;the assault, and Sanders, who did not participate in the attack upon the complainant was fined 20s. The money was paid. A DISORDERLY GENT.—Mr. F. H. Newton, surgeon, of No. 58, Curzon-street, Mayfair, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with being drunk and disorderly in Castle-street, Leicester square. Sergeant Newman, 7C, said, about half-past two on Sunday morning, h e was on d u ty i n Castle-street, when he saw the defendant with several others come out of a low coffee-house in the same street, and they immediately commenced making a great disturbance. Witness begged of them t o desist, and go quietly away, when the de fendant, who was drunk, refused, and, putting his glass to his eye, came in front of witness and said, " Who are you ? I've got three eyes, and you have only two ; therefore lam the better man." As the defendant seemed inclined to be troublesome, witness conveyed him to the station. The usual penalty of ss. was inflicted and paid. The remainder of the charges, which were numerous, consisted of the class termed " drunk and disorderly," and did not possess the least public interest. MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK, THIS DAY. The sales of cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at 8,000 bales, of which 1,500 American were taken for export and on [specula tion. The market was firm and steady at [fully previous rates. The sales comprised 6,000 Ame rican, 150 Pernam and Maranham at 64d. to 7i-d. ; 800 Egyptian at 6kd. to 10d. ; and 1,000 Surat at 3id. to sd. per lb. Railway Shares were dull at rather lower prices. Wheat is up 2s. per quarter this morning. The report of the Manchester market bfMessrs. M'Nair, Greenhow, and Irving, states : "From the commencement of the month up to near the termination of its third week the market continued to be fluctuating and changeable, owing to the different causes assigned in our last monthly circular, but more particularly so to the influence attaching to the un settled differences as existing between Russia and Tur key. During that period transactions became neces sarily more restricted for export purposes; consequently the prevailing tone was of a dull and inactive character. However from since, on or about the 19th, when, from an impression that peace - would be maintained—as we have never doubted that it would be—a very decided change for the better has not only been perceptible in feeling, but in practice. The result is, that some very heavy operations have been entered into, and the aggre gate amount found to be again very large," The uncertainty of the harvest prospects is re cognised, however, as a great evil, and as likely, unless the weather causes a change, to circumscribe business. COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, JULY 30. in the Queen and Prince, with the Royal children, were grounds at Osborne yesterday. Sir James Clark arrived from London yesterday and returned this afternoon. JULY 31. Her Majesty, accompanied by the Prineess Royal tncl Princess Alice, and attended by the Marchioness of 4 3' and the Hon. Mary Seymour, drove out yesterday ft rnhorseback.°° n in an open carriage. Colonel Bouverie attended on w ills Royal Highneis Prince Albert and the Prince of ales, attended by Lieutenant-Colonel F. H. Seymour, rod e on horseback. The Rev. H. G. Liddell, bead master of Westminster School, arrived yesterday evening, and had the honour of dining with her Majesty. CABINET COUNCIL.—A Cabinet Council was held at t he Foreign-office, Downing-street, on Saturday after -110°". The Ministers present were the Earl of Aber ceee) Lord John Russell, the Lord Chancellor, Earl e l p'anville the Duke of Argyll, the Marquis of Lang ,Twne, Viscount Palmerston, the Earl of Clarendon, ie Duke of Newcastle, the Chancellor of the Exche ier, Sir James Graham, Sir C. Wood, the Right Hon. iciney Herbert, and Sir Wm. Molesworth. The Conn ed sat four hours. Dispatches were received on Saturday at the Colo ,,rlial-office from the Governors of the Cape of Good i r - °l)e, the Mauritius, Labuan, St. Helena, Malta, and Dispatches Lord Hi g h C omm i ss i oners o f th e lonian Islands. ."„ispatclies were sent on Saturday to the Governors of t he Gold Coast, the Gambia, and Sierra Leone. A. deputation, consisting of Mr. Armstrong, Mr. .I,obins, and Mr. Clowes (Equity and Law Insurance C ° l llpany), and Mr. Bigg, r. Smedley, r. Lon, °d Mr. Beale (Law Fire Insu M rance Company M ), had an 11 ;terview on Saturday with Sir William Molesworth, at tal e office of Works and Public Buildings, in Whitehall- Place 4 The accounts received from New York, report still a dull and declining market for stocks. Cot ton ruled quiet. Freights were Ateady. The value of merchandise exported during the week to July 16, was 1,227,802 dollars. The importations had been very large, and the exportations moderate. The amount of specie being shipped was large, but demand arising for breadstuffs was expected slightly to check this. The steamer with the West India and Mexican mails brings later news from the colonies as to the crops, and so far the inter-colonial intelligence is of a highly interesting character. In Grenada the public health was restored, and the weather favour able. St. Andrew had been -visited by a very bad season for getting in the crops and it was supposed the aggregate yield would be smaller than that of 1852. For the next crop, however, the prospects were more cheering. The scarcity of labour was felt. Barbadoes accounts state that the last month had been unfavourable for reaping. However, 25,000 hhds. had been shipped, about 5,000 more ready for shipment, and about 6,000 still remained to be reaped. Although the weather had impeded the cutting of the old canes, yet in this district it was favourable to the young crop. Potatoes and Indian corn had been planted freely. In Demerara business was dull. Imports scarcely kept pace with the consumption, and plantains were scarce and dear. The weather was favourable. The following is an extract from the letter of a correspondent in St. Mary's. " Mr. H—, and I have been remarking that it is a striking fact in the movements of Providence, that the veins of copper ore with which the mountains in this vicinity are filled, and which appear in multitudes of places on the surface, should have remained undiscovered till the present day. The whole region, for 20 miles round, appears to be full of copper ore, worth from 801. to 1201. per ton—enough to supply the British empire with copper for hundreds of years. The most cheering thing is, that the miners who have come from England are good pious men. Four of them are preachers, and have al ready exercised a favourable influence on some of the reduced white Creole lads who, in their poverty, have manfully turned in to work the mines." The advices from the Continent report more favourably of the harvest in Belgium, where reap ing has commenced pretty generally ; and in the north of Germany also the appearance of the crops is more satisfactory. There are two or three arrivals from Port Philip, but the dates are old, and the amount of gold on board is not yet ascertained. There is an exceedingly dull market for public securities, and, pending the uncertainty of the Eastern question, neither the speculators nor the public will buy. Consols have been done at 98*, and since at 97'4 for transfer. The account prices Piave been 98 alternately sellers and buyers. The New 3i per Cents. have been marked • 101 k to 1, and the 3 per Cents. 981 to Bank Stock is steady at 228, and South Sea Stock at 116. Ex chequer Bills have been 2s. discount to is. prem., and India Bonds 225. premium. Rather more activity has prevailed in • foreign stocks, and prices are relatively better maintained than our own securities. Mexican Bonds have been 26/ being rather heavy, owing to the smallness of the remittance, 15,685 dollars for the dividends. Peruvian Stock has been done at 83i and 838. Grenada Deferred Stock has been at 9k. Spanish Deferred Bonds have begin 23g, and the Committee's Certificates has realised 61 and 64'. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 421 to 43 ex. div. Danish Five per Cents. have been firm at 106, Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. at 101-.. to 102, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 64k. The Railway Share Market has been rather inanimate, and prices have not varied to any ex tent. The French lines are at about former rates, and also with little doing. The Gold Mine Shares rule very heavy still, the Australian Banks are much quieter, and the Land Companies without alteration. THE ASTLEY COOPER PRIZE.—This prize of 3 001 ., f ounded by the late Sir Astley Cooper, Bart., has just b een-awarded-n-enry Gray, 14'. . of R S Wilton-street, by the surgeons of Guy's Hospital to Mr. for his essay , on t he "Structure and Functions of the Human Sp_leen.

When more ( ran two persons are conveyed in a hackney - carriage ra wn by one horse 6d. in addition to the fare to be paid for each person above two for the whole hiring. MEDICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON.—Several gentlemen re sident i n or near to the metropolis, fellows of the Me 111a1 Society of London, have resolved to form a physio gieal society for the promotion of that particular de , crinent of science, physiology, so intimately connected I th tll the proper application of medical and surgical ~ledge. The Physiological Society, or physiological t a - ,, eti cn of the Medical Society of London, will com k'hee its meetings in October next, in the rooms of the "edical Society of London, in George-street, Hanover tclollare, to w hi c h a ll fellows of thd Medical Society of n don are eligible for admission. W ESTMINSTER LIIPROVEMENTS.—A further and very t tl siderable progress is now being made towards the Oloval of those miserable and unsightly buildings con fgll,°,ns to Victoria-street, by the sale of the materials 6 i - t _lue old workhouse of St. Margaret and St. John, , r uate in Dean-street, Westminster, and which was decently effected by Messrs. Eversfield and Horne. The eniolition of the buildings has rapidly proceeded, and th ve rY extensive area, stretching from Dean-street to Wat elegant and recently erected residence of J. C. 6. °11 d; Esq., adjoining the brewery, has been nearly ;: l ar ed; thus exposing, however, a vast number of dila r r ,;: i ' a ted and wretched hovels which must be shortly , ed; in order to complete the improvements so neces ta • IT in this locality. h i ,,'„ ° .lAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS OF ENGLAND.—At a -e "ng of the Court of Examiners of the College of i s ge°ns, held on Friday, the 29th of July, the follow tlg gentlem en , h av i ng un dergone the necessary exami "ultis i°nsifatn o 2 r . the.diploma, were admitted members of this go o e i ge —naely, Messrs.

JAMES'S THEATRE.—On Saturday night the per formances of the German company at St. James's Theatre closed with the representation .(for the third time) of William Tell. The London public is much ins debted to Mr. Mitchell for the enterprise and spirit he'. has displayed on this occasion. If we cast a retrospec tive glance at the short and successful series of perform ances, we find that no less than six of the masterpieces of the German drama have been given, namely : William Tell, Faust, Egmont, _Mese°, Don Carlos, and the Bride of Messina; two entirely new pieces to Eng land—Preciosa and Donna Diana ; and a German ver sion of Hamlet, The Taming of the Shrew, and Othello. SOHO THEATRE. —An amateur performance took place at this theatre on Saturday last, the entertain ments commencing with Shakspeare's Merchant of Venice. Mr. Craven's personation of Shylock was a fine piece of acting, reminding one more of the finished actor than the untutored amateur. All the other cha racters were very evenly played, with the exception of Lorenzo, which was "done in a most extraordinary manner by a Mr. Vivian, whose strange style of singing the part was anything but attractive. A melodrama terminated the entertainment. DEATH OF A LADY AT THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. —On Saturday afternoon, between 1 and 2 o'clock, an elderly lady named Sadler, residing in Ebury-street, Pimlico, having gone with her daughter and another young lady to see the Houses of Parliament, was pro ceeding up the steps leading into St. Stephen's-hall, when another party of visitors, who had passed on before, incautiously allowed the heavy doors to swing back, and Mrs. Sadler being in advance of her party, was thrown down the steps with great violence, the pos terior part of the skull striking the marble pavement. The police in attendance picked her up, and some ladies who witnessed the accident applied such means as were at hand, but without effect. She was immediately re moved in a cab to the Westminster Hospital, where she wa3 promp',ly attended by the house surgeon, but the unfortunate lady bad ceased to exist.

The country markets held on Saturday were rather scantily supplied with wheat, in which a fair amount of business was doing at full prices. The few samples of barley brought forward realised previous rates. Oats, beans, peas, and flour were in short supply, and fair re quest at fully late figures. The continental markets have been firm for all kinds of grain, especially for wheat and the best oats. In some instances, prices have further advanced. Advices from New York to the 16th ult., state that both grain and flour were improving in value. Up to our market, last week; the arrivals of grain were very moderate. From abroad, they amounted to 38,891 quarters of wheat, 18,791 barley, 23,443 oats, 563 beans, 419 peas, 600 tares, 5,740 linseed, 1,122 rapeseed, 4,059 sacks, and 13,729 barrels of flour. Fresh up to this morning's market the receipts of wheat from Essex and Sent were but moderate. From all other quarters, ccastwise and by land carriage, the supply was somewhat less than on Monday last ; hence the show of samples of both red and white was comparatively small. Notwithstanding that the attendance of buyers was by no means numerous, and that nearly 40,000 qrs. of wheat were received from abroad last week, the demand for all kinds of English wheat ruled firm, at an advance in the quotations of is. to 2s. per qr., and at which a good clearance was effected. _ There was more doing for forward delivery, and the currencies improved ls. per qr., with considerable firm ness on the part of the growers. The show of foreign wheat was larger than for some time past ; nevertheless, rather an extensive business was transacted in it, at, in some instances, a further improve ment in value of ls. per quarter. Several floating cargoes off Falmouth went at a slight advance. The arrivals have been large. No English barley at market ; but the supply of foreign was large. Sales progressed slowly, and damp parcels were much neglected. In prices no change took place. The sale for malt ruled steady, at late rates. With oats we were largely supplied. The demand was tolerably firm, yet the currencies were 6d. per quarter lower than on Monday last. The inquiry for beans was wholly in retail on former terms. Welhacl a moderato sale for peas, at full currencies. Indian corn afloat was quite as dear as last week. The flour trade was steady, and prices wore well sup ported. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

There were 100 oxen from Spain on show. The arrivals of beasts from our own grazing districts were considerably on the increase and in somewhat im proved condition. The supply being greatly in excess of the wants of the butchers, the beef trade ruled exceedingly heavy, at a decline in the quotations of Monday last of from 2d. to, in some instances, 4d. per Blbs., and a total clearance was not effected. From the northern grazing districts we received 1,800 shorthorns ; from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridge shire, 600 Scots and shorthorns ; from other parts of Eng land, 500 of various breeds ; and, from Scotland, 450 home-bred polled Scots, chiefly per railway. With sheep we were but moderately supplied, the time of year considered ; hence the mutton trade ruled firm, and, in some few instances, late rates were rather exceeded. The general top figure for Downs was 55., but a few very superior qualities ss. 2d. per Blbs. Lambs, the show of which was by nomeans large, moved off steadily at full prices, viz., ss. to Gs. per 81bs. There was a very inactive inquiry for calves, the supply of which was good, at a further decline in the quotations of 2d. per 81bs. The pork trade was heavy, and late rates were with difficulty supported. SPORTING NOTES. THE BRIGHTON MEETING. Mr. Dorling, the enterprising Clerk of the Course at Epsom, has permanently established the popularity of the Brighton Meeting. Under his direction the cha racter of the different races has been improved, an ample supply of sport provided, and proper arrange ments have been made for conducting the business of the meeting in an efficient manner. The extensive alte rations which have been recently made on the course, and the institution of new and valuable stakes, suffi ciently attest the liberality of the management. The gathering will commence on Wednesday and ter minate on Friday, the last day being entirely occupied by the displays of " noble horsemanship" by the mem bers of the Brighton Race Club. Seven events are ap pointed for decision on Wednesday, but, at present, they have commanded little attention. The principal item in the programme is the Brighton Stakes, to which there are 19 acceptances, including the winners of the Goodwood Stakes and Cup. The penalties, however, which both Adine and Jouvence have incurred by their achievements last week, render their respective chances comparatively insignificant. Pantomime has been backed with considerable spirit ; he is favourably weighted, but the confidence of his partisans may be misplaced. If intended, Father Thames will be a formidable competi tor. The proceedings, however, ' connected with his withdrawal from the Goodwood Stakes admit of little satisfactory explanation, and this circumstance induces me to regard the movements of his party with well founded suspicion. Antigone's pretensions to support are undeniably sound—carrying fist 121 b, she obtained a forward position in the race for the Goodwood Stakes ; for this event she is handicapped at 7st 61b, and the difference in the weight will perhaps be more than counterbalanced by the comparative in feriority of the animals which she will encounter at Brighton. Of the remaining acceptances Poodle is most entitled to favourable consideration. The unsettled state of speculation, and the uncertainty which exists as to the probable starters, render it very difficult to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion as to the result of the race. At present, however, I anticipate that the formost places will be filled by ANTIGONE, FATHER THAMES, and POODLE. Should, however, the " scratching" proceedings be repeated, I shall substitute Pantomime or Father Thames. In the absence of both Sittingbourne and Catherine Hayes, Gossip will perhaps win the Biennial Stakes. At present it would be ridiculous to discuss the handi caps which were published' on Saturday. No betting has yet taken place on them, and no information can be obtained as to the number of the starters. So indignant was the owner of Beauty at the unjust impost at which his filly was handicapped for the Nursery Stakes, that he struck her out immediately the weights were declared. The Wenlock Stakes, to be run for to-morrow, will, I fancy, be carried off by the Maid of Monton filly or Chilton. August I. A FRESH MAN. RACING FIXTURES FOR 1853.

THE POTATO CROP. — The universal esculent, the po tato, we (Gloucester Journal) regret to say, is very gene rally affected with the mysterious disease, some of the tubers, indeed, being already rotten. —We (Bristol Mercury) are sorry to say that the potato blight has again appeared in this neighbourhood. Nearly every grower of potatoes here will feel its sad effects in a greater or lesser degree. The Carlisle Journal says, potatoes are said to be affected, and already serious mis givings are felt with regard to the ensuing harvest. Reports, vary, however, in different districts. Some of our correspondents speak hopefully, others are despond ing enough, but as yet we have not sufficient data to enable us to arrive at any positive conclusion. THE POTATO CROP IN IRELAND.—The Clare Journal states that the fatal blight has appeared in three dis tricts of that county. In Ennis the signs are perceptible " but so slight that there is really no cause for alarm." At Corofin "the disease has appeared unmistakably in several gardens." At Kilrush it is stated that "until within the last few days ardent hopes were entertained by many that the potato blight had taken its farewell of this locality ; to what extent they were mistaken can best be conceived by seeing, on the Kilkee road, Mr. Dowling's gardens, which, though a few days they were fresh and green, are now black and withered." These, happily, are so far but exceptions to the rule, as all the other accounts by this day's post continue to be of a favourable character. Last year the disease had gene rally manifested itself on the 20th of July. THE HARVEST.—The corn crops on the field land have a luxuriant appearance, whilst the prospects on the ex tensive breadths of low grounds are such as to . caur general despondency. The potato epidemic is visible in the early sorts now got up for use. Employment is somewhat above par, and labourers are quickly taken up for turnip-hoeing and other farming operations,— Doncaster Ocgette. FOREIGN SUPPLY.

If the Field of the Cloth of Gold is still remembered, and poets by mere description can give celebrity to spots where imaginary battles have been fought, surely the Chobham campaign will make this valley famous. The division turned out at 11 o'clock, and concen trated in the hollow in front of the camp of the Ist and 2d brigades. Here they remained for some time, drawn up in masses of battalions, Sir Richard England's bri gade in front, behind it that of Lockyer ' • the Guards in the rear on the left, and the cavalry and Horse Artillery also behind, on the right. The enemy had taken up a position on the Common in a north-westerly direction, its right extending towards the heights which close in the valley in that direction, while its left rested upon an enclosed space which here juts into the heath. Suddenly the Ist and 2d brigades and a portion of the cavalry took ground to the left, and, advancing up some sloping ground which effec tually concealed their movements, formed in masses of battalions in a sheltered situation, whence they prepared to assail and turn the enemy's right. This was a very skil fully executed manoeuvre, revealed only to the opposing force, when the men of the 7th poured over the height upon them, throwing out skirmishers and depl o yi ng i n t o line, which opened a vigorous fire. The artillery sup ported the attack on either flank, and while the attention of the enemy was thus pre-occupied, the whole division was formed into a splendid line, which, following the undulations of the valley, had an exceed ingly picturesque effect. The 7th having retired, a heavy . discharge of musketry commenced, and the left of the division having been thrown forward, the most strenuous efforts were made to drive back the enemy's right and centre. These, however, proved ineffectual, and the troops been withdrawn into shelter, the bat teries took up the attack, and the field for some time presented a striking picture of the manner in which that arm of the service is brought to bear in gene ral actions. After a tremendous cannonade, the guns at length mastered the high ground on which the enemy's right rested, and the whole division, quickly advancing and throwing out skirmishers, compelled Col. Vicars and his determined little band to retreat. The Guards were now upon the right, Lockyer's brigade in the centre, beyond this Sir Richard England's brigade, while the cavalry and Horse Artillery were on the ex treme left of the line, which gradually changed its front as the enemy's right fell back. The division having gained the shelter of the enclosure wall, and deployed into line behind it, resumed file-firing them, but failed to make any further impression on the enemy, and the advance was at once converted into a precipate retreat, covered by the cavalry. The Duke of Cambridge had great difficulties to contend with in the nature of the ground, but, nevertheless, he did his work well, making one brilliant charge, which the enemy repulsed by their Lilliputian squares. His squadrons threw out skir mishers, and otherwise showed the facilities which cavalry possess for checking the advance of an opposing force. Several of the men were unhorsed in these ma noeuvres, which did not terminate till the Guards were encountered drawn up in line of battalions and covering the retreat of the division. It may be remembered that towards the east front of the Camp the lower part of Catlin's valley becomes swampy, and that a bridge has been thrown accross, which, when the first division was under canvass, was made subservient to a very brilliant field-day. Then the object was to throw the troops across the bridge, the low grounds being supposed impassable, and to withdraw them again to the south side when in retreat, making the marsh itself a strong line of defence against the further advance of the enemy. The last manoeuvre was repeated with the new division on Saturday, and, ILS on the previous occasion, was exceedingly effective. Before the enemy, checked in its advance by the cavalry, had reached that part of the valley where the Guards were drawn up, Sir Richard England's and Lockyer's brigades, diminishing their fronts, had already passed over t h e morass, the south side of ' which they lined, ready to cover the retreat of the division. The artillery also, crowning the heights on the same side, opened a tre mendous cannonade, and as the cavalry retired across the marsh, the Guards, by battallions extended in line and skirmishing, stoutly held the enemy at bay. The coup ( T a il of this manoeuvre is certainly finer than any thing else of the kind witnessed by us during the en campment. Its novelty of effect was somewhat marred by repetition on Saturday, and we missed here, as else where, the Rifles, who did their work so appropriately and well in the old division ; but still there was the same brilliant military condensation and the same amphi theatric effect. As the Guards slowly withdrew from the north side of the marsh, the two other foot brigades from the south side deployed into line and opened upon the enemy a tremendous flanking fire. The artillery blazed away from the heights, and the eastern end of the valley was wrapped in smoke. At length the whole of the division had safely passed over, and established itself in overpowering strength immediately below the head-quarters. Had Colonel Vicars persevered, he might have captured Lord Seaton, and stormed "the Magnet," but he satisfied himself with his success so far, and, not seeking to provoke fortune more, the evolutions termi nated, each regiment 'gallantly took its way back to camp, with its band playing ; and shortly afterwards the crowds of spectators who had assembled to witness the operations were returning to town again, highly gratified by all that they had seen. One consideration that must strike all visitors to Chobham is the effectual deathblow there dealt to al those notions of personal heroism which, from the time of Homer downwards, have constituted the romance o war. Modern history has not neglected to point out this great change, but we who never see military evolu tions on a great scale have some difficulty in realising the truth that even the shield of Achilles would now be no protection, that brigadiers and generals in command do not meet in hand-to-hand encounters, and that the days when individual prowess could earn distinction in the field are over. The camp will at least undeceive those to whose heated imaginations battles are a suc cession of single combats such as we see fought at the Surrey against desperate odds for the sake of some dis tressed petticoat. Minie rifles extinguish warriorship, ' and we find in reality, as we have often been told, that an army is made up of soldiers as solidly, regularly, and substantially as a house is made up of bricks. In truth, nothing can be conceived more cold, systematic, or derly, and mechanical than that gigantic power to which not only the rights and the interests, but even the pas "Faithful to the pledge I made to Mr. Evans, I have taken no part, directly, or indirectly, in the late contest, Prior to Mr. Evans' acceptance of the Chiltern Hundreds. I purposely went up to London to warn him of the state of the state of feeling which I thought would be created in the county by the nomination of his son. He regarded me not. He has now been emphatically told by the elec tors themselves, that my surmises, expressed to him then, were quite correct." "First. Can Mr. Thornhill be said to have taken no part, directly, or indirectly, in the late contest He received the deputation ; accompanied them back to Chesterfield, where they strove to induce Mr. T. W. Evans to resign. Although he could not come openly forward, he (Mr. Thornhill) allowed his friends to make what use they thought proper of his name. He was among his committee within an hour after his nomina tion. He has contributed, or is reported by his friends to have contributed, largely to the expenses of his own election. Running over these few facts, sufficiently no torious, we are at a loss to understand the precise mean ing which Mr. Thornhill affixes to the terms in which he asserts his entire non-interference. Secondly. What did Mr. Thornhill tell Mr. Evans in London ? That a minority of the Whigs, coalescing with the Tories, would unseat his son ? No such thing ! He wished Mr. Evans to believe on the authority of "an anonymous person," that the majority o f th e Lib era l party would not be satisfied with his son, but would prefer Mr. Thornhill. The result has proved exactly the reverse of this suggestion. The great majority of the Liberal party voted for Mr. T. W. Evans, and the minority for Mr. Thornhill. Had not therefore Mr. Evans the first claim to the candidature? And would not the more honourable course have been for Mr. Thornhill, who was supported by the smaller section of the Liberal party, to have retired altogether, and to have attempted to heal the breach instead of aggravating it by lending his name to the opposition, and floating in upon the tide of Toryism ? Though Mr. Evans did " regard him not," when he assumed the "Sir Oracle " and told him on anonymous authority that the Liberal electors had a distaste for his son—the result has proved that the Liberal electors had a greater distaste for Mr. Thornhill, and it was the Conservatives only, who always opposed Mr. Evans, who were united in Mr. Thornhill'e support. Mr. Thornhill proceeds to tell us that he is a Minis. terialist so long as the Government will do equal justice to all parties ; but, if not—what then ? " When they cease to do that, I will cease to uphold them." Mr. Thornhill is "alive to the necessity of a sound moral and religious education to the people at large"— "an extended suffrage," (hear that Mr. Morewood !) " Parliamentary Reform at once liberal, wise, and moderate 1"—" legal reform,"—" stringent economy in the public expenditure,"—and "equal justice in taxa tion." Then follows a courageous effort : " As one who has ever supported freedom of trade for those engaged in it, I have a right to demand freedom for those connected with the land." What can this possibly mean ? Unless it be prophetic of the abolition of rent, game laws, malt tax, tithes and settlements, and a return of those halcyon days "When wild in woods the noble savage ran," The addrsss closes with a metaphor of the country placed on a pinnacle--an inconvenient, not to say pain ful position, in which we regret that 'Britannia should have been left unprotected. On Friday last the Daily News devoted an article to the North Derbyshire Election, from which it would ap pear that an exuberant and virtuous sense of untram; melled Liberalism has led to Mr. Thornhits return. Alas ! our contemporary knew nothing of the Tory depu tation from Chesterfield which drew Mr. Thornhill from his retirement—nothing of the tenantry brought up in waggons to the poll by their Conservative landlords, as if they were voting for a zealous Protectionist —nothing of the use that was made by Mr. Thornhill's canvassers of the names of the great Liberal landowners—nothing of the demonstration of the Tory landowners which greeted Mr. Thornhill's return on Friday last—nothing of the marked absence of every leader of the Liberal party on that occasion ! Our contemporary has been wont under similar circumstances to speak plainly and indignantly of coalitions like the one which- , has just been successful ; and if he could refer to the poll book of North Derbyshire he would probably subdue his con gratulations, and become eloquent in his regrets. A moral may be drawn from the recent contest—but it is not the one which our contemporary has pointed. And now what is to be done by the great Liberal party of North Derbyshire ? The circumstances of Mr. Thornhill's return will undoubtedly prevent the Liberal interest from placing in him that entire and cordial con fidence without which the relationship of member and constituent cannot happily exist. Mr. Thornhill says he shall " take his seat in Parliament untrammelled by party ;" but that is exactly what the hero of every coalition has said almost in the same words—this true interpretation being, " You can never be sure of me !" We would seriously and earnestly advise a meeting of the leading Liberal electors from every district of the division, to consult on the best measures that can be adopted for healing the existing branch, and organizing the Liberal party on a firmer basis for the future. Such a meeting, we think, should originate from the districts which at the late election, were most zealous on Mr. Evans' behalf - and, as Glossop has always been honestly devoted to the Liberal cause, as she re mained true during the last contest, and as among the towns of Derbyshire she now ranks second only to Derby in wealth, population and intelligence— we would point to Glossop as the district in which the movement should begin. The meeting, if arranged, should be held at some central place—central in respect of railway communication as well as merely geographi cal position ; and the objects of the meeting should be, to consider the present state of the Liberal party, the danger of the representation falling into the hands of the Conservatives, the propriety of appointing a permanent Liberal Committee for the division, the necessity of at tending year by year to the registration, and the best means of introducing Liberal candidates to the electors, as vacancies occur. A committee emanating from luck a meeting, would soon have a recognised position anion the party it represented ; and as it would spring from the people, so it could only maintain its influence and effect its object by consulting constantly the wishes, feelings and opinions of the Liberal electors of North Derbyshire.

A modern army has a great deal of the locomotive about it, tremendous in its power, unreasoning, unfeeling, but yet easily subject to control. It is singular how the mechanical spirit of the age has overtaken and subdued this like everything else. As the farmer depends upon his implements, the mer chant on the rail and the steam-ship, the manufacturer on the iron fingers at work for him untiringly in his mill, so rifle and battery, skilful evolution and steady discipline are doing away with the rough and desperate extremities of close quarters, cross bayonets, and hand to-hand encounters. Sham fights would be contempti ble as pageants if they did not bring out and present for contemplative observation the immense progress which is still making in the art of war, and the high state to which it has already attained. NORTH DERBYSHIRE ELECTION. (From the Derby Reporter.) On the day of our last publication the closing scene of the North Derbyshire election was being enacted at Bakewell. Mr. W. Pole Thornhill, our new Liberal re presentative, was escorted to the hustings, by a body of electors who were welcomed by the triumphant Tory squires of the division ; and was greeted by the entire absence of the Liberal country g entlemen of North Derbyshir e . A nc i en t T or i es w h o had hitherto been seen at Bakewell only in the hubbub of a nomination, and never before at a declaration of the poll, flocked round their protege ; and the "Io Foots' of our member, zealous for an extension of the suffrage and pledged to Free Trade, were sung by Mr. Palmer Morewood, and echoed in chorus by his Protectionist followers. A fortnight since we said that Mr. Thornhill's return would be considered a Conservative triumph. And why ? Mr. Thornhill had done his best to create a division in the Liberal interest, He has succeeded by gaining the votes of the Tories and of the tenantry of the great Libe ral proprietors who were directly (but we believe unwar rantably) canvassed by Mr. Thornhill's friends in the names of their landlords. And having coalesced such in fluence, and having carried his election against th egrea t ,bulk of the Liberal constituency, undoubtedly Mr. Thornhill was entitled to the gratitude of his Conserva tive friends and supporters—and they certainly gave him their countenance to the utmost ? The same assembly that listened to Mr. Thornhill's maiden speech was indulged also with his printed ad dress ; and as the literature of the one and the eloquence of the other are much upon a par, we will devote a few paragraphs to the first published exposition of Mr. Thornhill's political sentiments. " Ye* have vindicated your independence. The victory you have achieved is your own, it &not mine !" How the independence of the Liberal electors can be vindicated, by the minority of their party coalescing with the Tories,a nd returning a candidate whom the majority of the Liberal electors were not prepared to support--is a question far beyond our limited powers of comprehen sion., Had Mr. Thornhill congratulated the Liberal party on being the victims of a somewhat unprincipled coalition, he would have been more just if not more for tunate in his sympathies !
