Bishopsgate- SINGULAR SERIES OF CASUALTIES ON THE TYNE.—A singular t eries of casualties has occurred within the past two or three days on the Tyne, one accident treading on the heels of the other in a remarkable manner. We have already reported that a barque, the Magna Charts, struck on the insand in going out of the har bour, and broke her back. She was righted, but on the day following that on which she was raised and got into dock, a fine barque, the Ellen Moore, shortly after coining out of the Northumberland Dock, struck on the ground, and her back is also broken. Craft are being employed to raise her, but the loss to the underwriters on these two vessels will be at least 3,000/. On Satur day, Pioneer, iron screw steamer, shortly after coming round Bill Point, from Newcastle, to proceed down the river to sea, ran over a heavy coal lighter, belonging to the Walker Iron-works, and sunk her. A brig that was coming down after the steamer, unfortunately struck ou the lighter, and the last we heard of her was that she was impaled there ; and so completed the chap ter of accident•n We have to record that the barque George Fife,ofNewcastle, from Quebec, after surmounting all the dangers and difficulties of a " fall" voyage across the Atlantic, is likely to become a wreck, almost within the port tow which she was destined. On entering the harbour, in to of a steamer, the rope broke when nearthe bar, and there being little wind, but a heavy sea rolling in at the time, 6he drove on the Herd Sand, and en Sun day evening there was every prospect that she would become a total wreck. She is laden with timber. A number of workmen have been lately employed in making excavations near Brnmath (Bas-Rhin), among the tumuli which exist in great numbers in the forest near that place, and which bear a strong resemblance to the Celtic tombs scattered over the meadows and a part of the forest of Schelestadt. The excavations some time since effected in these last-named tumulii, and which led to the discovery of various articles of great interest to archtoologists, induced the Society for the Preservation of Historical Monuments of Alsace to make similar researches in those of Brunsath. The number of those tumuli near the last-named place amounts in all to 36, but some of them were in 1815 opened and searched by the Austrians in the hope of finding treasure. The tumulus now chosen for examina tion was about 26 metres in diameter by 3i in height. A trench about 3 metres in width was cut tnrough it, and on reachin g the centre it was clearly discovered that these mounds were used as places of burial and religious sacrifices. It is well know that the funerals of the Celtic sa o people, w h o inhabited Alsace 2,000 years ago, always clonrathrneecnecnedtrebyef the m asacrifice n t d o , at the a na ( m ie e p s th of o t f h t e h ir re a e nc m es et to re rs s; a certain quantity of ashes were found, and about 18 in. lower vestiges of wood mixed with ashes, coal, and pieces of bronze. The most interesting discovery, how ever, was a Celtic hatchet, long considered as a warlike weapon, but which now appear s to have been only used in religious ceremonies, and a knife appropriated for sacrifices. These articles were eaten up with rust and would no longer hold together, but their presence in this spot, and all the other signs of ashes, &c., tend to Drove the religious and funeral character of the mounds, Another smaller tumulus was explored, and small bones and the remnants of a broken ring discovered. An account was given some weeks back of a young man named Deguet having been b roug h t to trial before the Court o f Assizes for having obtain e d money on bills of exchange and promissory notes, forg e d i n the name of of artillery. After the f ac t s of the case had been his father, an office hoard, a postponement, it may be remora bered, took place, in order to afford time to ascerta i n whether or not tie ln was the came person as cue sentenced to 4 years' impri., on . went for forgery — L.)

Both of these Generals a few short weeks ago were mentioned in the London Gazette as having been promoted to the Companion ship of the Bath in reward of their distinguished Indian services, which now, alas ! have been drawn to so sudden a close. Gen. John Nicholson, of the 27th Bengal. N. 1., was an officer of no ordinary experience and pro mise. At the time of his decease he was in command of the Punjab division. He was the eldest' son of the late Dr. A. Nicholson, who owned a small landed property in the county of Down, and who died a few years since, having practised with con siderable success as a physician atTirgemont, county of Dublin. His mother was a sister of Sir J. Weir Hogg, late Chairman of the East India Company, and formerly M.P. for Beverley and Honiton. John Nicholson was born at Virgemont on the 11th of Dec., 1822, and having received his early education at the Grammar School of Dungannon, county of Tyrone, obtained from his uncle a direct appointment to India early in 1831, where he ar rived iu the July of the same year. At the very outset of his career in India he gained some prac tical experience in war. The conquest of Cabul, as out readers are aware, was followed by the revolt of the Affghans. At tile period of the murder of Sir Wm. M‘Naghten, and the massacre of the British troops at Jugdulluek, Nicholson was in the fortress of Ghuznee, under Col. Palmer, and shared with him the dangers of the siege. There is no need to recapitulate bore the details of the event ; it is enough to say that the British force found them selves shut up in the citadel, and having suffered the extremities of hunger, were forced to capitulate 'Ton hoisourable terms. How those terms were broken and how Nicholson was forced •; ~f to give up his sword is now a matter of history, as is also his imprisonment with his comrades in Cabul and his subsequent restoration tc liberty on the ar rival of the gallant Sir R. Sale and Sir G. Pollock, the real heroes who retrieved the disasters of Lord Auckland's Indian administration. We next find. Gen. Nicholson serving in the Sutlej campaign in 1845-6. At the time of the outbreak of that war he rendered important service to Sir H. Hardinge by watching and reporting the movements of the Sikhs. He was also present at the bloody battle fields of Moodkhee and Ferozeshah, and received a medal for his gallantry in action. In the second Punjab campaign we find the name of Gen. Nicholson almost inseparable from that of Major H. Edwardes, the hero of Mooltan. It would be foreign to our intention here to recount all the events which led to the outburst of that war, which was so decidedly settled at Sadoolapore, Chi wallah, and Goojerat. It is sufficient for our pur pose to inform our readers that while the siege of Mooltan was still proceeding Nicholson was sent to seize the fortress of Attock, which he suc ceeded in taking. As soon as his services could be spared he accompanied Lord Gough in his advance, and was able to render Sir J. Thackwell material assistance iu transporting his forces across the Che nab just previous to the battle of Ramuuggur. He had the satisfaction of seeing his name mentioned in the despatch of that gallant and distinguished officer in the following terms ;—" To Captain Nicholson, assistant to the Resident at Lahore, I beg to offer my best thanks for his endeavours to procure intelligence of the enemy's movements, for his successful efforts to procure supplies for the troops, and for his able assistance on all occasions." After the battle of Chiliauwallah his friends bad the additional gratification of seeing his services in that engagement acknowledged in Lord Gough's despatch side by side with those of the late lamented Sir H. M. Lawrence. Nor was 118 less distin guished on the field of Goojerat, where Lord Gough finally routed and crushed the Sikh fences, and after which he particularly recommended, in his despatch addressed to the Governor-General of India," that most energetic political officer, Cept. Nicholson," as deserving of reward and promotion. For his services in the Punjab campaign Ceptain Nicholson was promoted by special brevet to the rank of Major in the army, and received the addi tional honours of a medal and a clasp. He had been engaged in civil employment in the Punjab for some years before the outbreak of the recent mu tinies, having under his charge the Dere Ishmail Khan district since January, 1852. Of his activity and energy in his civil capac►ty iu the Punjab, and of his gallantry in defeating the rebel forces sent wit to intercept the siege-train on its way to Delhi, we have spoken too often recently to make it neces sary to add any fresh weed of praise. The previous mail, it will be remembered, brought home tidings that Colonel Nicholson was among those who were wounded in the storming of Delhi, and now we deeply regret to have to enumerate bis name among those who have since died of their wounds. Col. Nicholson's commissions, we should add, bear date as follows :—Ensign, Feb. 24, 1839; Lieutenant, Jan. 13, 1843 ; Regimental Captain, with rank of Lieut.-Colonel, March 20, 1848. Brigadier-General James George Smith Neil, of the Madras Fusiliers, was a native of Scotland, and was truly one of whom his native country, Ayr shire, will be proud. He was the eldest son of the late Lieut.-Col. Smith Neil, of Barneweill and Swindridgemuir, and succeeded at the death of his father to a small landed property between Ayr and Glasgow, where doubtless he looked forward to spend the remainder of his days when he should have retired from active service ; but it has been ordered otherwise. Ho was born about the year 1810, and entered the Ist European Fusiliers (Ma dras) in 1826. He first saw some active service, we believe, in the first Burmese war, under the Gover nor-Geueralship of Lord Amherst, when he was for a time iu the Adjutant-General's department. He was, however, compelled to return to England on furlough at the close of the campaign owing to the inroads made upon his constitution by exposure while on field service. For a short time, about the years 1835 and 1836, he held the command of the escort of the Resident at the Court of his High ness the Rajah of Nagpore, and about the same time he married Isabella, daughter of Col. Warde. More recently he took part in the second Burmese war under Lord Dalhousie. On the outbreak of the war with Russia in 1854 he volunteered for active service iu Turkey, and showed considerable ability while in command of the Turkish Contingent. Re turning to India at the close of the war, he took the commend of the Ist Madras European Fusiliers, one of the most gallant and distinguished regiments belonging to the service, though recently charac terised by Sir A. Alison in his speech at Glasgow as " now to fame." On the breaking out of the recent mutiny, being sent up to Calcutta with his regiment, he relieved Benares, and pressed on with forced marches to Cawnpore, in the capture of which he assisted. Our readers will not have forgotten his decision in the matter of the high caste Brahmins of that place, whom he forced to degrade themselves by washing with their own the bloodstained floor which was the scene of the atrocities of Nana Sahib. During the subsequent absence of Gen. Havelock he held the command of Cawnpore, and was recently intrusted with the command of a brigade. He is represented to us, by those who knew him of old, as a strict disciplinarian, but at the same time one who never spared himself, and was always ready to share with his men every danger, difficulty, and privation. He attained the regimental rank of Major in 1850, and became a Major in the Madras army, with the rank of Lieutenant-Col., in Dec., 1853. A sergeant-major of the 14th regim.nt of the line, now in garrison at Belfort (Haut-Rhin), was two days found banging by the neck in the regimental schoolroom, and when cut down was found to be quite dead, His suicide is attributed to disappointment at not obtaining pro motion. He was a man of more than ordinary educa tion ; had originally studied medicine , and afterwards, as a pupil of Paul Delaroche, had painted some pict ures , which were much admired. . .

The Dublin journals, or at least the majority of them, are just now exercising their influence in the right direction, and are making every legi timate effort to prevent the occurrence of a mone tary panic in the country parts of Ireland. The Freeman of Tuesday morning led the way in a sensible article tending to calm the excitement consequent upon the recent unprecedented advance in the rate of discount. The Evening Post follows in the same creditable course, and concludes a rather lengthened review of the state of the money-markets in England and Ireland in these terms : " We have heard that the Bank of England during the whole of this excitement has not in any instance re fused legitimate accommodation to its customers. The Bank of Ireland, it is well known in commercial &roles, has not in the least degree decreased those facilities it has been in the habit of affording ; and the Irish banks gene rally, we know, have acted with the utmost degree of liberality consistent with prudence. As regards the home trade, theleshole question is the difference between a higher and a lower charge in the percentage for interest during this temporary pressure—a difference, even if it 'lasted for three months, which it most probably will not, that would not amount to more than 20s. or 25s upon a9l days' bill for 100/. This in all transactions, large and small, would be some curtailment of profits ' • but let it be rememb ere d t h at the Bank of Ireland and the other banks accommodate their customers as usual, that there is no curtailment of discounts, no interference with the legitimate operations of trade ; and further let this be ' borne in mind, that any limitation of discounts by the banks, even for a single day ? would produce far greater loss and public i njury -theio , the whole amount paid by the public in the shape of increased rates of interest. "It is clear, then, that the policy pursued .by the banks is wise and thoroughly sound, because it iethe sure mode of guarding the public and protecting trade and mercantile credit from interruption. We trust that this will be distinctly understood all through the country, because it will prevent all undue pressure for accommo dation at the banks. There are ample means for all the legitimate necessities of trade, and the banks are allowing suoh fair latitude in that respect that complete quiet and confidence prevail in this island, affording a striking contrast with othercountries. We have no doubt what ever that this fortunate state of affairs will continue, because the admirable conduct of' the banks, aided by the good sense of the community and the prosperous condition of the country, has enabled us to carry on all the operations of mercantile enterprise and industry as vigorously and as safely as If New York were as free from panic as Dublin or Cork. If the case were different —if ' fools rushed in' with greedy desire to possess money which they could not require, and if through such means any extra pressure were created, the banks would be compelled to act on the defensive, and to limit acoom modation to such an extent that the consequences might be disastrous even to the parties whose rash conduct had caused all the evil. But fortunately there is not the least likelihood of such an interruption in the progress of Ireland in that course of agricultural, commercial, and industrial advancement which has in recent years signa lized her moving as steadily on towards prosperity as any other country on the face of the globe." THE MONETARY CRISIS.-EIOW THE LATE SIR JOHN SINCLAIR SAVER GLASGOW. While in the midst of the terrible monetary crisis which has overtaken us, the following ex tract from the "Memoirs of the late Sir John Sinclair, Bart.," published by the Messrs. Cham bers, of Edinburgh, will be read with the deepest interest. It shows how that eminent philanthropist and enlightened man commercially saved Glasgow in the great crisis of 1793 : " No one who lived in his house could remember a day, till Sir John was above 80, in which he was not able and ready for active exertion, chiefly in the public ser vice ; and the inventive genius which he frequently dis played astonished even his friend Mr. Pitt. None of his numerous suggestions was more useful than one which he threw out the commercial crisis of 1793, for the relief of the suffering merchants. At that time, in consequence, of the stagnation of trade produced by the war, the number of bankruptcies exceeded all that had pre viously occurred in the niest calamitous times. Sir John, with great difficulty, obtained the consent of Parliament that notes from the Exchequer, to the amount of five millions, should be issued immediately, as a loan to such merchants as could give security ; and be also offered, without receiving any remuneration, to carry out his own plan, with the assistance of Lord Sheffield, Mr. Wilberforce, Sir William Pulteney, and Mr. Thornton, who bad consented to act as a committee. " Many of the first housei in Manchester and Glasgow were tottering, not from want of property, but from the temporary stagnation of sales and of credit. Sir John, therefore, immediately after carrying his motion in Parliament, borrowed, on his own personal security, the sum of 70,0001., which he despatched to the merchants the morning after the vote was granted. Mr. Coutts advanced Sir John a loan of 20,0001., and Mr. Devaynee lent 10,0001. Pitt, meeting Sir John next evening in the house, expressed great regret that the pressing wants of Manchester and Glasgow could not be supplied so soon as their urgent difficulties required, and added, The money cannel be raised for some days.' It ie already gone ! It left London by to-night's mail,' was Sir John's triumphant reply ; and in relating this anec dote, he used to add, with a smile of pleasure, a Pitt was as much starlted as if I had stabbed him.' " The good effect of lending Exchequer Bills ex ceeded the hopes of its very sanguine adviser, for em barrassment ceased, credit was re-established ; and Sir John's sch eme not only cost nothing to the country, but actually brought a profit to nation, after the whole loan had been thankfully repuid, of above 4,0001. It is difficult now to imagine such a thing as the utter ruin of Glasgow and Manchester ; but unquestionably it was then believed that, but for the plan suggested by Sir John Sinclair, that event must have taken place." We believe there are few instances on record of such a combination of statesmanlike sagacity, proud energy of c h aracter, and generosity of nature, as was exhibit e d i n the person of the late Sir John in o c u l d air. of such a Scotlandso son while had, indeed, livedeed ,r,eaasnond has to no less reason. to venerate his memory now that he sleeps with his fathers. When he died, she lost one of her best friends and greatest benefactors. THE SOUTH WALES RAILWAY COLLIS[ON. SWANSEA, Nov. 11. The inquest on Mr. Ashman was continued and concluded last evening before Mr. Collins, the Swansea coroner. The jury, after considerable discussion, returned verdicts of "Manslaughter" against Edgar Evans, the clerk, and Henry Barney, the porter at Port Talbot station, and against Charles White, the sta tion-master at Stormy. They also added the fol lowing : 'The jury also wish to express their sentiments with reference to the highly blameable conduct of Mr. Henry Turner, the station -master of Port Talbot, in having in cautiously started the up-passenger train from Port Tal bot before ascertainin g whether any further telegraphic communication had taken place between Stormy and that station, more particularly as to whether the message he ordered to he sent to Stormy had been duly sent and acknowledged. The jury also desire to express censure upon the South Wales Railway Company for not em ploying persons at their stati ons pro p er ly qua lifi e d an d competent to work and duly understand the telegraph. The jury also desire to suggest, in order to lessen the effects in case of any futur e co lli s i on, that a luggage-ran should be placed immediately after the tender of each train." We should mention that Mr. White, the station master of Stormy, was only admitted to bail in the case of the first inquest on Saturday last. On that day the depositions taken on the Neath inquest having been laid b efor e Mr. Justice Cresswell in chambers, he careful l y wont through them and gavo a magistrate in th e county of Bucks, White was temporarily res idi ng w ith h awn i h s eo f r r re i d e e n r d itr s: to admit him to bail, himself in 501., and two sureties in 2°l. each. attended the i nqu i ry on b ehalf of Mr. Tripp, of S wansea, and Mr. Cottenham, of n Company.

Accounts from Brazil state that some persons having purchased for 100,000 y. a large French merchant ship, called La France, which ran ashore some months ago in the Bay of Bahia, and has remained there ever since, are about to endeavour to raise her. The Brazilian Govern ment has placed at their disposal six large vessels, and they are now having made at Marseilles 5,000 yards of sailcloth, which they propose to pass under the hull, as it is raised from the water, so as to stop the holes in the bottom. on the previous evening, as the supericure of the Petites Seeurs des Pauvres, accompanied by one of the 7th states that of the the e tablishment in the Faubourg St. Pierre, they were suddenly assailed by a ance of as band of about a dozen children under 15 years of age, returning N.an t c o y and in the midst of the most .savage vociferatious pelted with laud and other mispile., fn such a nianner that when st The erho(7: reached home their clotnes were covered with filth. they The journal expresses astonish ment at this outrage com mitted onfemales whose livesare devoted to acts of charity, and who themselves submit to every privation rather than that the poor shall suffer.

Admiral Lord Lyons, with the squadron of four Liners under his command, arrived at Malta on the 7th inst. The Council of Military Education, composed of Major-General Cameron (vice-president), Colonel Portlock, and Colonel Addison, commenced the second examination of candidates for the army yesterday at Burlington-house, Piccadilly. The examination will be resumed this day. The entire of the 69th Regiment, except one officer and 50 men, have orders to proceed to India by the overland route. At Suez they will embark for Madras or Bombay. The whole of the Queen's forces in India up to the 29th ult., according to official returns amounted to 33,660. In the Bengal Presidency there were : Cavalry (6th Carbineers and 9th Lancers), 1,317 ; Infantry (including 3d, 82d, and 93d), 23,450; Artillery, 67 ; and Engineers (23d company), 126 ; total, 24,960. The troops ordered to the Presi dency and on their passage thither consists of— Cavalry, 2,159; Infantry, 12,616; Artillery, 2,711; and Engineers, 252; total, 17,738. In the Madras Presidency—Cavalry, (12 c h Lancers), 1,305 ; Infantry (43d and 74th) 2,122 ; on passage or under orders—lnfantry (44th and 66th) 1,605 ; and Artillery (under orders), 301.

On passage—Cavalry, 1,677 ; Infantry, (including the 94th), 6,021 ; Ar tillery, 712 ; and Engineers (overland), 246. It will be seen from the above that up to the 29th ult 28,300 was the number of troops on passage to the East Indies, making the grand total of the Queen's forces India and en route - 61,960. The East India Com pany's European troops in India amount to 18,260 of all arms. The finding of the general court-martial which assembled at Chatham garrison'.several months since for the trial of Lieut. Colonel J. Clarke. Ist West India Regiment, was promulgated yesterday. The charges on which Colonel Clarke was arraigned were :-1. For insubordinate conduct, in having at Tower-hill Barracks, Sierra Leone, on the 6th of March, 1857, disobeyed the lawful commands of Lieut. -Colonel S. J. Hill, 2d West India Regiment, commanding the troops at Sierra Leone and its de pendencies, his superior officer, in refusing to em bark on board her Majesty's steamer Perseverance, and proceed with a detachment of his corps to Bathurst, Gambia, although detailed in general orders and warned by the Brigade-Adj atant, Lieut. J. Watson, 3d West India Regiment. 2. For in subordinate conduct at Government house, Sierra Leone, on the 6th of March, 1857, during an inter view with Lieut.-Colonel S. J. Hill, 2d West In dia Regiment, commanding the troops at Sierra Leone and its dependencies, in having then and there stated he would not embark on board her Majesty's steamer Perseverance, nor would he obey any orders given by Lieut.-Colonel S. J. Hill to command the troops at sierra Leone, be being ex clusively the civil governor of the said colony of Sierra Leone, or words to that effect. 3. For insubordinate conduct at the time and place mentioned in the second charge, in having disputed the command of Lieu tenant-Colonel S. J. Hill, commanding the troops at Sierra Leone and its dependencies, his superior officer, in having refused to a ll ow hi nre lf t o b e placed under arrest ; and, further ' in having stated to Lieut.-Col. S. J. Hill th a t h e did not rocognise the right of the said Lieut.-Col. J. S. Hill to place him in arrest, or exercise any military authority er command over him, he being exclusively the civil governor of the colony of Sierra Leone, or words to that effect. 4. For insubordinate conduct in having at the time and place mentioned in the second charge, when placed under arrest, and told that the next senior officer would be placed in command of his corps, stated to Lieut.-Col. S. J. Hill that that officer would not take or assume the command of the corps, for that none of the officers of the detach ment of the let West India Regiment would receive or obey any orders given by the said Lieut.-Col. S. J. Hill. 5. For beginning a mutiny, in having, when stationed at Tower-hill Barracks, on or about the 6th, 7th, or Bth of March, 1857, caused disob!- diecue and resistance to the lawful authority of the commanding-officer, by advising and directing Cap tain J. S. Macaulay and Captain C. W. Pearson, Ist West India Regiment, motto obeythe commands of Lieut.-Col. S. J. Hill. The members of the Court have found Colonel Clarke not guilty of the first, third, fourth, and fifth charges, but guilty of the second charge, for which th e C our t directed him to be reprimanded. In addition to this, however, the Duke of Cambridge has superseded Col. Clarke by nominating another officer to the death vacancy of the second lieutenant-co lonelcy in his regiment, and ordered him to proceed to the settlement of Gambia as a punishment, a small detachment of his regiment being stationed there. Colonel Clarke has thrown up his commission and retired from the service. The following reinforcements will leave Chatham garrison this morning, and embark at Gravesend on board the George Marshall, Indiaman, 1,500 tons, for Calcutta :-20th Regiment, 42 men ; 23d Royal Welsh Fusiliers, 20 men ; 35th Regiment, 18 men ; 53d Regiment, 19 men ; 61st Regiment, 15 men ; 84th Regiment, 11 men ; and the 90th Light Infantry, 25 men ; the whole in charge of Ensign nontgomery Williams, 64th Regiment. The 84th depot will furnish 38 non-commissioned offi cers and men, who will proceed to Cork and embark on board the steamer Leopold to join head-quar ters in India. The whole of the reinforcements were yesterday inspected by Col. W. IL Eden, comman dant of Chatham garrison, who expressed himself well pleased with their general appearance. The non-commissioned officers and men are all armed with the Enfield rifle. On Tuesday evening a party of 90 recruits arrived at Oliatham, chiefly from the London district, for the purpose of joining the various depots of the Indian battalions. Recruiting for the 12 additional battalions of infantry is progressing satisfactorily. The numbers enlisted and now in training average nearly 600 each battalion. The severe distress now existing at Woolwich s among the wives and children of the soldier despatched on active service to India has in duced a number of ladies of the garrison to form themselves into a committee, with the view of collecting subscriptions for the immediate relief of the most necessitous. Major-General Sir W. F. Williams yesterday made an application to the Lord Mayor for permission to devote to the same object the fundi collected by the Indian Relief Committee at Woolwich, and a concert will shortly be given in the Arsenal, the proceeds of which will be simi larly applied. The ladies have already collected the sum of 3051., including a donation of 1001. from Mr. Prater, the army clothier. Rear-Admiral Sir Henry J. Leeke has arrived from Calcutta, having made a short stay at Alexan dria on his way home. The gallant officer has re signed his appointment of Superintendent of the Indian Navy, which he has held since 1851. Commander R. G. Craigie was yesterday appointed to the Desperate. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steamer Triton, Lieut. Commander Burton, now at Greenhitbe, has been ordered to prepare for departure to the West Coast of Africa. The Rifleman, recently from the coast of America, is to be brought forward for foreign service.

Tho letter was received th roug h th e p oe t- o ffi ce , came to the the constabulary, an d by th em wa s transmitted to the authorities. Another document of like import was also received by an Orange master in a different direction of the country. The neighbourhood has been consequently kept in a state of disquiet and alarm, and the peaceable inhabitants were obliged to supply themselves with arms and ammunition, and are, and have been for some time, in nightly expectation of an attack. Such being the disquieted state of the surrounding neighbourhood, a crisis was confidently expected on the evening of the sth. About twilight the sound of a drum was heard to echo from the entrance to the town. In an instant every one ran in the direction of the town. The drumming party were met by a body of the police under head-con stable Scott, of Portadown, who it is presumed warned them of the impropriety of their proceedings. However they beat the drum down and up the town, and a great crowd followed them ; they ultimately departed the way they came in, without any further disturbance. The town was then allowed to remain in a state of tran quility never before experienced on the fair night of Tandragee.—Belfast Mercury THE COAL-FIELDS OF AMERICA,—From a recent essay on this subject, by Professor H. Rogers, it appears that the coal-fields of North America comprise a surface of at least 200,000 square miles. The following shows the extent of those in Europe :—England, 5,000 ; France, 1,183 ; Belgium, 592 ; Rhenish Prussia and Sarrebruck, 923, Westphalia, 365; Bohemia, 384 ; Saxony, 30 ; As turias (Spain), 122; Russia, 96 square miles. Hence it appears that the American soil alone contains a coal surface at least 20 times larger than that of Europe. Admitting the extent of all the coal-fields on the surface of the globe to be two millions of square miles, and supposing each stratum to he on an average 7 yards in thickness, all the coal of the earth collected into one mass would form a cube 20 miles in length, breadth, and altitude. As regards production, we find that the greatest amount of surface by no means coincides with the largest quantity produced ; for England annually brings into the market 65 millions of toss, while the United States do not bring more than 9 millions of tons ; Belgium produces 5 millions, and France only 43 millions of tons. YOUNG ENGLAND.—Much regret has of late been ex pressed in respect to the almost universal neglect of youthful military ardour. In Continental schools lads and young men from 12 years of ago are, as a part of their education, required to attend in uniform a class for drill and other military exercises. The necessity for the adoption in England of a similar custom is now seriously contemplated, particularly in those academies where the sons of gentlemen are placed. To supply the necessary want, Messrs. Nicoll have prepared plans for nod at their new establishment, Warwick louse, 142 and 144, Regent-strut, have opened a register or retired non-consroiosiozed officers of good character to aid principals of schools in the formation of drill classes. This new department is an adjunct to the manu facture of gen tl emen ' s clot hi ng, arried on 11:y this Firm in various parts of the United Kingdom and Colonies. THE MILITIA. The permanent staff and depot of the 2d Derby Militia (Chatsworth Rifles) has been inspected by Colonel Douglas, the Inspecting Field Officer of Militia, who expressed himself much pleased with all he saw, and stated that he should make a most favourable report. This regiment has given a large number of men to the Line during the last two months, and yet at the recent payment of the annual bounty it was ascertained to be within some 20 men of its complement. These will be easily got should the services of the regiment be required. A letter from Galatz states that the engineers of the Ottoman Government have just ordered the execution of the works necessary for clearing the bar of the Sulina of the hulls of the vessels which were lately wrecked there. A fresh channel has been opened for vessels until this impediment has been cleared away. APPLICATION TO ADMIT M. H. S. BRIGHT, OF HULL, TO BAIL.— Yesterday an application was made to Mr. , Justice Crompton at chambers, to admit to bail Mr. H. S. Bright, merchant, of Hull, and formerly sham man of the Hull Flax and Cettos-mill Company, a bankrupt, and now a prisoner on several charges of forgery. After bearing the application, which was urged on the ground of the prisoner s illness, and that his personal attendance was necessary in the examina tion of the numerous books and voluminous ceiren pondence of hie own firm and that of the company, t.) enable him to prepare his defence, Mr. Justice Cromp ton declined to make the order in the first instance, considering the affidavits, but made an order for a writ of certiorari to issue, directing the magistrates to send up the depositions, that he might see the exact nature of the charge and the evidence, and also granted a summons to show cause why the prisoner should not be admitted to bail. [PRIM 4u. STAMPED 51).A THE CAMP AT ALDERSHOT. Though the routine fielddays at Aldershot, when two or three times a week in the summer the un happy enemy was driven half-way to Winchester, are now over, yet the large importation of militia men into the camp has rendered extra drill most necessary ; advantage is therefore taken of every tolerably fine day tcegive the men a smart,breath ing across the hills and valleys. Yesterday the scale of operations was rather .en larged, and the forces of the camp were mustered for a sudden general attack upon a neighbouring military institution—the Cadets' College at Sand hurst. This plan involved mauceuvres of all kinds, and required the assistance of the three branches of the service, and as the first step was a march of some 7 or 8 mle4, the whole force was under arms in camp by 8 o'clock. The troops were in heavy marching order ; each man carrying so many rounds of blank cartridge, and apparently a good many rounds of ammunition of a more pleasant kind in their haversacks. Some waggons accompanied the troops with barrels of beer for their further support during the fatigue of the attack. There were se veral regiments of Infantry, a strong force of Artil lery, with the 6th battalion of the Military Tr.,in, and part of the Ist battalion, in all between 7,000 and 8,000 men. But the force in appearance looked far more imposing, occupying a good two miles of country road. The whole force marched from oamp along the road to Farnborough,• and so on through Frimley to Sandhurst, where it arrived shortly before 11. The day wawnnnsually fine, the sun bright and clear, the air keen but bracing, and the mists that lay about in and among the trees and valleys only added greater variety to the picturesqueness of the Beene. A. very large concourse of visitors from the surrounding neighbourhood had assembled in the grounds round the College, which were freely thrown open to all comers, and from which the best view of the proceedings could be gained. The attacking force outnumbered the cadets by 50 to 1, for the latter, who were divided into three companies, wore not 200 strong, and were only waisted by some 15 or 20 cavalry, with a party of engineers to work their four small guns. Never- theless, the little band put a bold face on the matter; they had already entrenched themselves, and now stood firm, hopeless of victory, but determined to fight for it. The nature of their position may be son told. Tho large sheet of ornamental water in front of the College terminates at either end in a broad a deep canal, croveii by several bridgeß, which of course formed the keys of their whole position. Their force was divided into three bo. lies —the extreme right, under Captain Dickens, occu pied the skirt of the wood oa the road near Forest lodge. The centre, under Major Mao, held the York Town avenue in advance of the hike bridge, the head of which was defended by a strong gabionado and chevaux de-frisc. The main body o the left under Col. Scott, occupied the wood in front of King's-bridge, with a small party holding a very narrow structure, called the Chinese-bridge. Biit King's-bridge was the main point, and was defended by a chevaux-de-frise and abattis, in rear of wific.l again was a strong work called Adam's redoubt, strengthened with a stockade and mined with a heavy charge of powder. In rear of all was the Old Flagstaff Battery, the cadet's last resource and ral lying point. Lieut.-General Sir 11 , 4rry Jones com manded the Sandhurst forces in chief. The Camp forces under Major-General Knolly e' advanced to the attack in two main divisions, the right under Major-General Lord W. Paulett, consisting of two companies of Engineers with the pontoons, part of the 4th Light Dragoons, a troop of H orse A r till ery , a field battery, .the Regt.,22,1 the 4th Middlesex and Royal Wiltshire Militia eeiments. The centre body, under Major-General the Hon. A. Spencer, consisted of a field battery, the 15th and 96th Re giments, and the 4th Lancashire Militia. The Berks Militia, assisted by a portion of the cavalry under Major-General Laurenson, threatened on the left. The plan of attack was a feint on the right of the College position at Forest-lodge—a real attack on the left at King's-bridge, to be followed and sup ported by an attack on the centre from York Town. The affair commenced with a skirmishing fire on the right, which continued for some time, now to tho noisy dignity of a regular fusillade and the,i again dropping-to a mere random shot at long inter vals. Vedettes scoured about, but the nature of the ground was against good reconnoitring, and thick woods almost completely concealed their movements and preparations on the right and centre. Under cover of these. and protected by their skirmishers in front, the main attack advanced against King's bridge, whore they were encountered in the wood by the cadets, and a hoe vy tire instantly common eed. Tnis, as more and more of the Camp forces cline into action, was maintained with additional vigour each moment, and at last swelled into a long• sustained rattle, which instantly showed the non-professional public where the great onset was, and thither they flocked accordingly. The cadets made a long fight of it, disputing every inch of ground, and making every brake and tree a tempo rary lodgment for their sharpshooters. At length the superiority of numbers of the enemy compelled them tto give way and retire under the absttis at the King's-bridge. This they did in good order, still fighting as they retreated. The shore now re sounded from every part of the wood, which was filled with a dense smoke, amid which' the masses of the enemy were almost hidden, until, overcom ing all obstacles, they emerged on the banks of the canal in front of the abattis and chevaux-de-frise. These held them in check for a considerable time. While the attack upon it was pressed with vigour, and orders were sent to hurry up the field battery and force it, the 4th Light Dragoons, a troop of Horse Artillery, a party of Engineers, with the pontoons and military train, and the 22d Regiment were sent higher up the canal to effect a passage at another point. A few minutes after this force had been sent off on a mission so fatal to the defenders the artillery came into play in the abattis, sending its massive red streaks of flame into the very centre of the felled trees, and scattering their leaves and twigs like spray. At the same moment the attack was pressed upon the centre, and now all along the border of the lake were posted cannon, while the woods swarmed with troops, and every gun and Minie in the force' converged upon two points and poured a volley of flame and smoke upon the King's and centre bridges. There were a few minutes of terrific uproar, during which the whole College and ground became so wrapped in smoke that it was im possible, save for those actually with the troops, to see what was passing. In the midst of this scene the whole line of the enemy advanced against the two bridges; at the centre the attack was repulsed amid au awful din of small arms; at King's-bridge it was successful—the cadetsretired,and by this movement lost the day. They fell back into Adams's redoubt, which was a very strong work, deeply trenched and stockaded at the entrance, and which had been mined in case of their being compelled to abandon it. The enemy, however, after losing some time in de stroying the abattis, crossed King's-bridge, and at tacked the redoubt with artillery, while the detached force, which had crossed higher up in pontoons and by the Chinese-bridge, attacked it from the other side. The redoubt became untenable, and the cadets lit their mine and abandoned it, retiring into the Flagstaff Battery, while the centre and right divi sion also fell back. To cover this movement their handful of cavalry charged the Camp troops, which were crossing the bridges and defiling in the open ground beyond, and compelled them to halt andform squares in their own defence. At the same time the mine in the redoubt blew up with afearful explosion, lifting a loose cloud of earth and stones high into the air. These two checks, however, were only tempo rary. The attackwas pressed with a charge of the 4th Dragoons, which swept the open ground like a whirl wind of men and horses, leaving a broad deep track. of scattered turf where they had passed. This last onset effectually drove the cadets back to the very colonnade of the College, whither they were pur sued, when both parties came to a stand, and a ge neral delivery of all the spare ammunition took place on all sides, and this sulphurous climax brought the proceedings to a close. Marching past then took place in the usual order, the cadets taking precedence of all the infantry. Their marching was most regular for such a very juvenile body of soldiers, and their admirable con duct and discipline throughout the day elicited the highest commendation from Gen. Knollys, a n d was, in fact, a subject of general remark and admiration among all the officers on the ground. The marching of the Royal Wiltshire Militia was also considered most excellent. Immediately after the review the mounted troops returned to camp. The infantry followed when they had refreshed and rested them selves. Tho Camp will be r f ri m v further of the 3d W er strengthened t on Thursday n ex t by the York Militia ' and on Friday by the Royal Dum fries Militia. The Royal Southdown and Limerick Militia Regiments are expected in camp next week. These reinforcements will raise the strength of the force there to upwards of 11,000 men.
