DOCK COMMITTEE. The Dock Committee met at one o'clock yesterday. 11r. Brocklebank presiided. and the other members present were—Messrs. Sa.ittr, Halheal, Mendell, Clint, Anderson. Habback, Barber, B,: d, Chilton, Liitledale, and Lockett The offer of Moso - s. J :nes at d Jump was accepted for wooden fencing and gates for the bonded timber-yard at the north end, and that of Messrs. James M'lurdo anti 'Cu. for Quebec yellow pine timber. Mr. BOLD said he conceived some irregularity had taken place in the Sub-committee, and perhaps in the General Committee also, with respect to Lieutenant Parki.'s appli cation for an increase of salary. He understood that Lieutenant Parkes made a formal application by letter, stating his reasons tar thinking he was entitled t o an iecresite. No record at all of his letter, or resolution of the Sub committee upon the subject, was made in the Sub tommitt,e'a ho , k. Therefore, unless the General Committee were infurtned by the chairman, or some member, of the Marius Committee of what had taken pL.ce, they would be felt in total darkness. He thought would be very desirable teat all applications of that kind should fist come bet - re the General Cororaittec, and then be referred to the Sub-committee. He considered this a very irregular case., becanse he was informed privately that the applicat'on was declined on tlite ground of its being more desirable that the new board should entertain the subject. This mr,de it the'more necessary that some resolution upon the subject should be em bodied in the proceedings, in order that it might be sa-n by the new board. Mr. LOCIR*TI sail 'it was not customary to record pr. plications, when the Sub•committee did um think proper to comply wi,h thew. It certainly we.vconsidered that, as the present couttni , tee would be defunct in a very short time, it would be mote prudent to postpone all 'valeta ap plications for the new board to deal with. Mr. Cirri:row thought such applications always came before the General Committee in the 'first instance. Mr. LocgstT : That is rot tie practie3 of this hoard. CniLtrcN : I can only say tb-at, it alwrrys was the practice when I was here before. All such 'afters came before the chairman and the General Committee, in the fist instance, and were referred°to the Sub-ennatuittee. Mr. I..tcitelr: Of coarse, if the applications w: re addrfsed to the ebai man and members the General Committee ; but this application was addressed to the Eub-committee. Mr. BARBRE c3ncurrei in the view that such applications ought to come before the gel:oral coomitt , ce. . _ Mr. SMITH recorameuded that a motion shouldbe adopted to that effect. Finally, upon the motion 11f Mr. S rlrl, sleorded by Mr. IT:ahead, it was resolved that all applications for increase of salary should be made in ti e first instn.ece to the general committee.

Some convetsation ensued upon the position of the lights, but no resAution arose out of it. It was stated that no loan tl objection had been made on the part of the pilots of the purr.

The weekly meeting of this committee:raa held in the Town Hall, at halt-past two o'clock, yesterday. Mr. Alderman Dover presided, and the other members present were—Messrs. Sheil, M`Guffie, Beckwith, Haydock, Hodson, Johnson, and Holden. The Medical Officer of Health reported that in the week ending on last Saturday, 272 deaths were registered in the borcugh, showing that in the last five weeks there has been very little variation in the general mortality, the deaths having been respectively-274, 277, 277, 272, 272 The corrected average of the corresponding weeks of the preceding nine years, excluding the years of epidemic cholera, was 258, or 14 less tban the mortality of last week. The deaths in the parish were 183; in the out townships, 89. In the mortality from diarrhoea there was a c(easiderable reducAon, the deaths, which, in the p re vi ous - week, were 73, having fallen last week to 50. Of these 44 were children, 2 only were between 4 and 76 years f f age, and 4 were aged respectively-76, 83, 92, and 97. From scarlatina share were 16 deaths; from hooping cough, 12; typhus, 9; dysentery, 7; small-pox, 4; measles, 1 ; cholera, 1 ; ague, 1. Diseases of the lungs, with con sumption, caused 45 deaths, being 11 more than in the previous week. A married female, eged 36, died from delirium tremen The Borough Engineer, Building Surveyor, and Inspector of Nuisances, reported various particulars of the operations in their several departments during the week, from which it rppearsd that inspections were made of 163 dilapidated privies and ashpita ; 1.118 cesspools had been discharged ; 103 nuisances complained of by inhabitants had been inspected, and means taken to remedy them ; 724 houses in the unhealthiest districts, containing 2,239 apartments, and 187 cellars, had been put under examination, with the view of improving their sanitary condition ; and 148 lodging-houses had also been examined,! and reported - upon An offer was made on behalf of the Marquis of Salis bury, to give up a slip of land en the north-west corner of Bmithdown late, which was accepted by the committee. An equivalent was to be giVen by the flanging if some foot walks. The application made by a numb. r of clergymen and residents, to have the centre of Pembroke-place macada mised, having been considered, it was resolved that the committee could not comply with the request, in conse quence of the expense, and also of the complaints certain to be made, as in other parts of the town, by shopkeepers, of damage done to their goods by dust. A similar reply was made to a request of the same character from Messrs. Maclver, on behalf of Rumford- , street. There was no other business of any importance. LIVERPOOL BANKRUPTCY COURT.-Y&STERDAY.

A Cna.n WITH A GOLDEI Tconr.—At the end of the six•eenth century terrible excitement was caused by a report that a zolden tooth had appeared in the jaw of a child horn in Silesia. The rumour, on being investigated turned out to be too true. It became impossible to conceal it from tho public; and the miracle was soon known all o'er Germany, where, being looked on ss a mysterious omen, universal anxiety was felt as to what this new thing might 2itan. Its real import was firs' unfolded by D. Horst. In 1595, tLis eminent physician published the result of hie researches, by which it appears that, at the birth of the child, the sun was in cojtinctiwn with Saturn, at the sign Aries. The event, therefore, though supernatural, was by no means alarming. The gold'en tooth was the precursor of a golden age,in use Emperor would drive tho Turks from Christendom, and lay the foundation of an empire that would last for thousands of years. And ale, says Horst, is clearly alluded to by Daniel in his well-known second c`iapter, where the prophet speaks of a statue with a golden head.—Buckle's History of Civilization in England, Tol 1. THE NORTHERN TraES.tLIVERPOOL, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1857. TOrrETH PARK BOARD OF GUARDIANS. This Board held its weekly meeting yesterday in the Public Offices, Park-road, Mr. Alpass presided ; and tha other members present were—Messrs. Mercer, Ogden, Wilson, J. Harrison, M‘Nico', ILbinson, Grindrod, Briscoe, and Leyland. Mr. Gouart, Governor of the West Derby Workhouse,, reported that the umber of paupers in that establishment chargeable to Toxteth Park, vi as this week 350, against 347 last week ; 21 were admitted ; 17 discharged, and one died The number in th hospital was 36 this week, against 34 last week, eight new patients having been admitted, five discharged, and one died. Cheques for £O4 for cut-door relief, and £1,600 in favour of the Guardians of the West Darby Union, were drawn ; and it w.ls resolved to make a call on the overseers for £2,000. The name of Mr. Harrison was added to the workhouse Committee, and of Mr. Mercer, Mr. Pickup, and Mr. Og den, to the Finance Committee. Tha following communication was read from Mr. Latham, reliecing.officer in reference to the number of brothels in his district : "In Ashton-street and Back Parliament-str et, there are 22 brothels; the average nurnbar of resident prostitutes being about three to each house. In addition to which, it is considered there cannot be less than the same nxmber of enual female vit•i'ants. This will give the gross total of 132 females living by prostitution in the small space these streets occupy. Of then- 22 houses, the occupants of 17 have been r.rdered to quit; and five have not yet had notice; viz., two in Back Parliament street, and three in No. s.ecurt, Ashton-street." Ties concluded the general business. THE BELFAST RIOTS. It may be said that the disgraceful scenes, which h ave rained for Belfast sttch unenviable notoriety, have been brought to a close. Last night, up till a late hour, there was no appearance of disturbance; no persons 'were assaulted, and the police patrols reported all as quiet. in the different districts, at their head quarters. Indeed, it could hardly be otherwise, with 350 men mad' r arras, and a reserve force of •upwards of 200 men ready to be called out en an emergency. Besides these fine fellows, a fresh accession was made to the military force of Belfast. yesterday, by the arrival, tram Newbridge, of a detach. ment of the .ed ;Light Dracoons, consisting of three officers and 45 men. They were bilietted throlTh the town, anti can be available on a moment's notice- From inquiries we have made, we do not hear of any fresh outrages having been committed in town on Mond ty night; shots were tired in various quarters o f th e t own, and some personal conflicts took place, but that was nearly all. Last night shots were also fired, but not so freely as before; and there is ,no reason to doubt that peace has been at last established. This is in great part owing to the precautions taken by the Government, which seems to have at last resolved upon a vigorous course of action. It is now known in every house almost in town, that we are vir tualty in a state of siege, and that further outrages would be attended with much more serious consequences than the cowardly rioters choose to risk. Not, indeed, but ex tensive preparations have been made on both sides. It is a matter of certainty that the fellows, not content wi h guns and pistols, have actually procured small pieces of ordnance, with which to batter down their opponent's houses, and there cannot be a second opinion that the deadly weapons would have been freely used. Two of these (we believe ship's guns) are in the possession of the " Pound men," and one is known to be in charge of their enemies, the Sandy-row rioters. this latter instrument the supporters of " the constitution" have called by the historic name of Derry's famous long eighteen-pounder "Roarine Meg ;" but the gallant Apprentice B , ys will not feel flattered by this compliment, paid by, as it is, by men who violate the constitution which their forefathers aided in obtaining by the thunders of their favourit e " Meg." What steps will be taken to enfore his Excel lency s Order in Council remains to be seen, but all must desire the most vigorous precautions to be taken to ere force peace in the disturbed districts, the inhabitants of which should be made to feel the full effects of their misconduct. —Belfast Mer cur y. . Belfast has heen subjected to the Whiteboy Code by His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, under the provisions of the Crime and Outrage Act. His Lordship in :Council has proclaimed this dtsrict, and placed it on a footing, in the eye of the municipal law, with the Conuty of Tip perary. This is, we believe, the first occasion on which the North Eastern Counties have been subjected to the Irish Curfew Statutes, Our readers are, doubtless, aware that the geaerai effect of this proclamation of Belfast will be to give to almost all breaches of the peace and lawless demonstration a degree of criminality very much beyond that with which they are regarded by the common law, and the ordinary criminal code of the country. I's most obvious result will be to make every member of the Guts Club tie) legal criminal, that we have long since supposed him merally to be, if he does not forthwith hand over his musket to the proper authorities, and make his name of Gun-clubist as delusive as that other name, "Liberal," of which he boasts. Assaults on houses, even should they consist but in stone throwing, now become offences which, hitherto, scarcely punishable by a 40s fine, are serious misdemeanors, entailing penal servitude. The tiring of guns for purposes of intimidation becomes an offence graver than ordinary cases of felony, and may, under circumstances, be visited with transportation. And we could not hope for a more felicitious inauguration of this comparative suspension of the common English law than that, taking up the Gun Club in its practising ground to-morrow, it might snmrnarily try the members by a special commission, and send them forth to the East, to turn their musketeer ambition from .

Baron Ferusr,ae, for exacip'e, states that ho h,s seen the terrtstrial gasteropodes, or slugs, allow their skins to be eatea by ethers, and, in spire of the large wounds thus produced, show no sign of pain." But even if they showed "signs" of pain, we might legitimately question whether those signs really signified what they teamed to us to indi cate.

The copyrights of my father's plays re alised an average income of £lOO. More, the petition of the members of my father's family would have enabled them, had there been need far their exertions, to supply any deficiency the above property could not cover.

[Continued from 1611 September.] CHAPTER 111. EVILS OF THE DRINKING CUStOMS. Vast and momentous influences for good, as well as for evil, a•e at work within the dim to of this country no intelligent or observant mind can pensibly &say. Magnificent results of scientific power are obvious on the right hand and on the lel. The means of transit, whether by sea or by lan ', were never since the world begun so cheap, Iso expediticus, or so free from danger. Millions on millions have been exp nded in marine stea a navigation, and hundreds of millions more have been expended on the great and almost interminable iron Lighwa sof the kingdom. English comm rce expands her majestic wings, and bids nations, empires, and countries arise and enjoy with unfettered intercourse the equitable exchange of the fruits of their 1 Industry and still. Myriads on myriads swarm from Britain's shores to fund new cities and enlarge the circle cf human existence over the habitable g'obe. Tee English nation seems destined to subdue in peace the sareace of the earth—the Anglo-Saxon race to rase the destinies cf the world—the English language is be the medium of conamueicetii n of thought amantst civilised nations—the English Bible to be the book of books amongst universal man—and English truths to be world-wide truths, Momentous powers are undonb edly at work, in moulding the thoughts, the passions, and the habits of the people. The nineteenth century stands out in bold relief, distin guished from every preceding age. Whence, then, the moral degra dation of the masses of Eng ishmen and Englishwoman—the 10).0:10 criminals within Britain's massive prisons —the 1,000,000 British subjects regularly fed by cold legal charity—the 0,000 immortal beings continually immured in the dark and dismal cells of the asy lum, the sad and dreary abode of the insane. Whence the 54,00 J annually shouldered to premature grates. Can it be that all this strring of the profoun eat depth of the human intellect to which I have adverted has been mere y a gigantic effort to give to the horse the understanding of the rider. It is true many, very many ministers, as well as Christian laymen, are engaged iu imparting sound religious instruction with nnprece dente cl diligence and fidelity ; many philanthrop'c noblemen and gentlemen employ themseive3 with indefatigable zeal in inculcating moral princirlas, and are endeavouring to ameliorate the condition of man ; and patriots 11 - e engaged in modifying and adapting the laws of the land to the pro:not on of the internal p ate, happiness, comfort, and prosperity of the country ; but what matters all this, wiles, from the very summit of civil and ecclesiasticil authority, to the porters on our deck quays and the sextons of our churches, there is the indoc trination of the most hateful and detestable forms of drunkenness; and its developments are unfortunately as conspicuous among men of birth, rank, and education, as among the foulest and worst of the population (and who need be astonished at that, while there is an establishment for the sale of intoxicating drink for every 160 of the inhabitants of Liverpool, whereas there is only a place of worship far eve y 2,373 of the people). It is unquestionably the drinkingcustonas of England that have reduced our see al condition to its present lamentable, appalling, and humiliating condition, and to those ens totes I props e to direct at motion. In doing so, I am compelled however reluctantly, to confess that the history of man's existence in this cquntry, as a general rule, begins, continues, and ends with in toxicating drink—intoxicating liver being . ssociatel with h s firs', last, and almost every intermediate state of his life; we h - ar the gingl ng io , glasses, aed we era as the smack of lips from the birth of the child to his death, at whatever age ; when the man is in embryo, all attendant are regaled with the odour of Cognac, Jamaica, or Old, Tom ; and when ushered into being, the new-born babe is greeted with a friendly welcome into life, amid the pestiferous dews and poisonous vapours of dichotic driaks ; and thus the use of intosi eatine liquor is identified with the very first singe of lire, and the custom of drinking strong drink is made coeval with the dawn of man's history. All children being alike liable to the common i Is of the fleah, the lit le cherub in swaddling clothes perhaps takes cold in the belly, and susjrs the gripe; the infallble speeitic —brandy, diluted with water is administered as a soothin,; dose; or th tt papular ap2lianee, gin, as a warm bath to the stomach. Should it fail on the first application, the pain is set down as a very stubb . orn one, therefore an extra dose is all . hat is r • coked to effect a cure, the screams of the little darling being hushed with the second dose. Nutwthstand:ng the intoxicat ing draught the cause of pain is still there, though the effects are not felt. Solomon speaks of one that was stricken bat not s'ck, beaten bat felt it not; the fact is the little darling was d. unk—thus the in fant Is made drunk in the first month of its age. The next month it may be the little one has to be christened, and the season of this sacred and solcma ordinance (in rural districts espz.c.ally,) is in too many instance., I lame _it to say, made the occa • sloe cf much dissipation.. I venture to all m, having witnessed s'inlar subsequent licence at the same place, that when my name was recorded in the books of the Church militant, afte the solemn ceremo)y, there was an adjourn ment of the party to the most co 'Vicious publ c house, accompanied by the minister who performed the disti )guished ceremony of pro posiag the new made Christian with a double glass of gin ; need we wonder at the son of such a m:nister being found in tie canal, having fallen into the water in a sta'e of helpless intoxication on the very day his late father's pro2erry wan sold to liquidate his debts. Neither the untime'y death of the son nor the dissipated character of the inhabitants of the place need astonish us with such an example. I am happy, however, to say that a better state of things exist at that place now. Yes, I rejoice that there are 503 or more ministers who, like the Rev. W. H. Wright, of Christ Church, the Rev. Mr. Bardsley, and a host of others in this town who are advocating with their pens and in every posslble way the great cause of total abstin.nee, Ne— vertheless, in too many rural districts the practice stilt exists. The next adjournment is to the parent's honse, there to feast on the things provided. Plumb and rico pudding embued with brandy sullic!ent of themselves almost to intoxicate. Apple pie, too, in the cooking of which ale is considered an indispensaele ingredient. All this may appear, and is regarded by many as a genuine mark of hospitality, and an indication of good old times, to me, howt;ver,it appears a sad and . . . . fatal mistake. How the rest of the day, Sunday; as It is, is pet may be conjectured. One resalt is generally the re-assembling of the party next day to have a sort of wind te.', or as they used to say, to have a hair off the old dog ; cr if the subject of this carousing be a bey, "to drink" that he may make a be:ter man than his fa her, or if a girl, that sh 3 may make a better woman then her mother. In the course of Ulla the son has to b 3 ap2rentic ed, n3w styled the little man, and on that °cession he wicneeses glass after glass brought in. The future master of the little man urging him ev,,r and anon to partale of the deadly poson, while tha company are bscom ing intoxicated with the rearion des.roying draught; the little man now and again thinks of his maroles the last time he counted them, it may be starts iato his r.c : he then laughs at the idea, says to himself I am now .a young man and must have done with those things, I will give thorn to my liAla brother Bob. With those new assoziatiens too a - errantly commences a life of disiapation, Time rolls on, and the next occasion we meet our hero, he is staggering home at midnight from the Clah-house, on he staggers and swaggers that he is the best warkmtn in town, none being able to ct,po with hi , n in tho field of polamies, an adept at sing ng, cards, - -- n• smoking, &c , &e., and thus I might g) on show.ng that tho .• history of man h cmaposed of a subs of repatitions of circumst razes rimil rto what I have narrael; and as the natural course of events brought him into the world, so the natural course takes him out of the world, and dying with a legal claim Os his club, is interred at Its expense, and the same cavern prezisely that attended his entrance attend his exit out of the word, and the same deadly poison is drunk at his death that was drunk at his birth, and to his health, and thus the use of intoxicating drinks, b gins, continua, and ends wi.h a mans life. Who need therefore be surprised that drunkenness should deface civilized and chris isnizad society, or what phusibility I ask is there in the do:lrina that drunkenness sprung up from man's fillcn nature—there would indeed be occasion for astonishment if wa were free from the black crime of drunkennesss with the customs that exist for enforcing the use of intoxicating drinks. We mlOt as raaiouably conclude that a man may carry fire in his bow n as I his clothes n)t be co 'awned, or to have a dean and comfortable c)untry wish each filthy inhabitsnts as oscapy the neighbourhools of Ilookenall Alloy, Chesnall-at eet, Marybon-, Wright-street, and other pans of Liverpool, CU to expect a country to be free from the black crime of drunkenness. While every turn in life is se'zel as as oczasian far Introdscing intoxicating drinks; and every circumstance is made subservient to drinking ca,toms, and the only panacea for the evi's resulting from the elementary imi tiation into habits of-Intemperance, by examples, such as those to which I have directed attention, is the adoption of tatil abstinence princip!ea by the rising generation.

THE SMOKE NUISANCE: TO THE EDI FOR OF TRIG NORTHERN TIMES. Sir,— On perusing the Memorial presented by the late smoke inspector, Mr. MI) anald, to the council, I was rather struck by his allusion to the. smoke prevention inventors ; he says, " had he patronised any of these inventions he might have been a richer man than he is, but he would have nothing to do with them ;" and very properly so, for a recommendation now a person in his position to adopt any of these Tuck inventions would have been tantamount to an injuncion to the furnace owners either to comply with it or submit to the other alternative, be tined. But why is the same principle not acted on now? recently I was biought before the magistrates for an alleged offence against the smoke act, and of course by -hard swearing I was fined. Next morning I was waited upon by the smoke inspector, who intro duced a gentleman as Mr. —, the celebrated Smoke Do3tor, intimating at the same time that if I adopted his invention to my furnace I should in future escape flees. I however declined, and no doubt shall, in due course, pay for my obstinacy. Is this fair, or just ? If the Smoke Committee or their officers have discovered some panacea for the entire prevention of smoke, (which their late inspector declares he never did) why do they not at once make it public, and not permit their servant to introduce it in the clandestine manner I have described ; and if we are to be fined for what we cannot at all times prevent, it would be some consolation to us to think that it was done by one who understood something about the subject, ant no:: by an individual who knows as much about engines, boilers and furnaces as these do about him —I am, sir, yours &c., &c , VICII3I TO SMoKE PERSECUTION.

Sir,—A statement appeared in several of the Liverpool Papers last week to the effect, that the widow of the late Captain Rogera was a member of the Wesleyan Church ; a letter also appears in the Mercury of to day, urging upon the Wesleyans the formation of a committee to raise funds in her behalf. Mrs. Rogers was visite I three times during her stay in this town by Mr. Edward Sumners, who was distinctly told by Mi.s.

" Aye, btu," says Jahn, " that was maybe because you are no sae respeckit in the parish as I am." A curious point has just been decided by the Tribunal of Commerce of the Same. There is a cafe at the corner of the Rue Lvellntier, known by the name of the Cafe Riche, of which M. Garin is the proprietor. One of the heirs of M. Riche, the founder of the cafe, being tired of seeing his name serve for a sign for the cafe, brought M. Garin before the tribunal to make him resign the name. After a very elaborate argument, the tribunal has decided that a family name is an imprescriplible property, which Cannot be alienated but by tho will of those who have the right to bear it ; and though during many years the heirs of M. Riche have tolerated their name serving fur a sign to the establishment in question, they have a perfect right to withdraw that tolerance. M. Garin, therefore, is within a fortnight entirely to remove the name of Riche, and at cuwhile is condemned in the costs,—Eoliettore Journal, THE QAMP OF CHALONS. SEPTEMBER 13. Visitors to the Camp of Chalons are apt to imagine that the four hours' rail from Paris is the sum total of the journey, and that on reaching the town au easy walk or drive will bring them to the tents of the Imperial Guard. They will most likely get a glimmering of the truth from some communicative fellow-traveller while steaming over the 43 leagues that separate Paris from the chief town of the department of the Marne; but if not, tbey will certainly discover, when landed at Chalons, that the most troublesome port of their journey is yet to come. Since the camp is to he of annual recurreuce, it is presumable that in another year or two the Chalonese will have their wits a little quickened. At any rate, as the new railway is to be opened in a few days, one great difficulty will be removed, and travellers no longer lose half a day in obtaining a vehicle and in floundering through crossroads aad quagmires to the camp. At present lam bound to say that the chief hotel of Chalons, although it has the pretension of being two hotels rolled into one, under the double and sonorous title of the Palais Royal and the Golden Bell, shows hut little alacrity in speeding wanderers on their way. With hoses in the stable and carriages in the yard there yet is some mysterious, and, as it for a long time appears, insurmountable, difficulty in com bining the two and starting for the camp. Allowance must be made for the embarrassment cif people upon whom good fortune is suddenly thrust. Quiet, dingy old Chalons has long been so unaccustomed to an influx of travellers, to a demand for post horses and hotel accommodation, that its head is quite turned. Ancient instincts of honesty seem to he struggling with new opportunities of gain. It would perhaps be truer, although less charitable, to say that the Chalenese are so afraid of asking too litfe, that they take a long time in making up `heir mir.ds as to the exact point to which their new customers will hear bleeding The bargain made—that is to say, their terms stated and acquiesced in (for the day wears, and they arure us they are six terrible leagues to the camp)-1 most exasperating deliberation still characterizes all their move ments. The shafa3 must be removed, and a pole put in. for what can one horse do on a road on which, as they aver, you sink up to the axle at every second turn of the wheel? Then the horses are eating their corn, or Antoine, the coachman, is not forthcoming ; and had you not better breakfast before going, for you will get nothing fit to eat at the camp ? A stubborn, very slow-moving old lady, a red faced, petulant man, a pallid waiter, and half a dozen helps and nondescripts pass to and fro, propounding difficulties au I re commending food. At last after two or three false starts, you aro off, having lost exactly one hour and three-quarters since getting out of the railway. Elated by your escape, everything looks couleur de rose. You smile amiably at the host whom you have been mentally overwhelming .with maledictions for the last five quarters of an hour, you promise pourboire to the drivers, and you offer one of those choice Havannatis you brought from London to the Frenchman who shares your conveyance. The insignificant stone gateway you pass under as you quit the town assumes the proportio- s of a triumphal arch, and you observe with delight that the road, as far as you can see ahead, has by no means that desperately bad appearance you have been led to expect. You make no doubt that the length as well as the quality of the way has been exaggerated, and that an hour or a little more will take you to the camp. After three or four miles, however, you quit the high road, and soon you see that your trembles are all before you. Your companion, Frenchman like, is sanguine and hopeful, and sees the camp at every tuna of the track. A bit of tri coloured hunting, floating from a roadside wine -house, is taken for a banner indicating the E uperor's head-quarters. A canteen-woman's care, a couple of dragoon orderlies, are con sidered proofs that we are close to our destination. Meanwhile the road, off which we are frequently obliged to turn in older to pass waggons and heavy vehicles going to and fiom the camp, gets worse and worse, until at last it becomes worthy of the Crimea, Indeed, it would he insulting the Doyne high way, as it was towards the end of the war, to compare the two ; one of those wheel-tracks across country which, in Wallachia, do duty as roads, is the best simile that can be found for the lest half hour of the way. But, as we toilsomely rise a fir crowned hill, wheels creaking and horses sweating, we meet some French officers, strolling on foot. This looks like prox imity. " Lieutenant, are we near the camp ?" " Tout Ares, Monsieur; in three minutes you will see it." In less than that time we espy some digs, and our coachman pain's with his whip to a very ordinary-looking wooden hut on our left front. " Teat is the Ewe or's qu triers." Tents right and left of the road. They are those of the Ist and 2nd Grenadiers. Ahead cur view is bounded by an undulating belt of thick foliage. It is the little river Ciieneu, whose verdant fringe re lieves ihe barren aspect of the surrounding country for the pictu resque has certainly not been consulted in the selection of the ground for the camp, and it noted be hard to pitch upon a less agreeable landscape. But it is the wry place for the purpose—a vast undulatang plain, With a chalk bottom Half an hour after a heavy rain the water has all been sucked in. The road we are on leads direct to Grand Mourmelon, the principal village near to the camp, which reaches close up to it, Away to the left, not visible fhorn this spot, is Petit Mourmelon There is something in the sound that reminds one of the Crimea. We think at once of the blood-stained Matnelon. And, a still stronger reminder—an an imaginary line connecting the two villages, in front of the Cheneu and in rear of the camp, are a number of detached huts and wooden buildings, the nucleus of what will doubtless in time be a large sutler's village. This is Kamieseh, or Cequinville, or Filou ville—for by all these names is it known. Hero are the old inscriptions from Crim Tartary :—" On donne a boil et a manger," " Vin de Champagne," " Cafe au lait et au noir" (a new way of designating coffee without milk), " On sere a la portion." There is the Cafe de Paris, not much resent: !sling its defunct namesake on the Italien Boulevard, but which actually attempts art etalage—a display of choice fruits and uncooked viands. Under a very fair counterfeit of the Cologne Vendome, about 15 feet high, a dealer in brandy cherries has established himself. A small hut' is devoted to the sale of perfumery, for which one would imagine that the demand must be moderate in a camp ; but doubtless the Guard, although exiled for a short time in the deserts of Champagne, has not forgotten the refinements of Paris. But here are some well-remembered faces and uniforms. The Zouavo camp stretches away on our left. " Stop, coachman we go no further." It is just 5 o'clock; we hav e b een ex actly eight hours getting from Paris to the camp, and, until the railway is opened it can hardly be done quicker. We have arrived, however, at a good moment. Six o'clock is the usual mess hour, but yesterday was a wet day, and the manceuvres, which usually takes place on Friday, were put off until Saturday. The breakfast was consequently early, and dinner is at five. A good Providence has oa dainel that, for this day at least, we shall not be left to the tough mercies of a Cuquinville or a Moureuelom ragout. Thanks to the hospitality of a friendly Captain of Zeuaves, we presently find ourselves at table in the mess but of his regiment, where are assembled some three-score officers, the mojerhy of whom wear on their breast the English Crimean medal, the Meljidie, or some other memorial of tire I late war. The plot of gtouad known as the Camp of Chalons, but of which only a small portion is really occupied by the camp, the rest remaining free for manoeuvres, is in extent nearly 140 square kilometies. In form it wonid most resem ble a square, but for two projecting spurs, or rather heels, ono of which protrud-s nearly north, the other nearly due west— both from the western side of the territory. Nearly parallel to the southern boundary of the camp runs the river Vesle, and to the northern limit the Suipp s ; a rivulet called the Cheneu rises in the camp itself, and escapes from it ia a south-westerly direction, intersecting the southern spur. Nearly parallel to this stream, from its rise to where it quits the camp, the troops are established ; the two divisions of infantry on the left, the cavalry on the right : in the rear of the cavalry, west of the stream, the artillery, some engineers of the line, the waggon-train, commissariat, bakehouses, slaughter-houses, &c. The engineers of the Guard aro on the right of the infantry, the Cent Gard , .a in their roar. The line formed by tho tents is not a straight one, nor a regn'ar curve, but uudula•es. Oppsite a break, like a broad avenue, left betmeen the infantry and cavalry, are the Imperial 'head- quarters ; immediately on the right of these is the chapel, a mere roof surmounted by a cross, but a conspicuous object and seen from afar, owing to the eminence ou which it and the Emperor's residence are placed. A few hundrod y vas to the left of the latter is the Elal .'Major General, the head- quarters of General Regnault de Sc. Jean d'Angely. The Emperor's quarters are just upon a lino old Roman road that tuns right through the camp, and which connects Rheims and Bar le Due. It has been stated in some of the French papers that an old ca'np of Attila's is not only within the limits of the camp of Chalons, but that the Guard is now encampcl on the same spot. This is incorrect. The place where Attila and his Huns established themselves is about a mile, or rather more, east of the south-eastern corner of the new military territory, and certainly seven miles from the ground now occupied by the French troops. The weather here since the let of September has been very uncertain, and upon the whole not favourable. This has caused'soma detangement in the routine of work laid down for the troops. According to this, Monday, Wednesday and Friday aro mat. ceuvre days, on the other working daye the artillery begin practice at daybreak, leave off at 11 2.m., and then the infantry commence. Tht cavalry have the alternate days to look after their horses, clean their equipments, and attend to the various duties from which an infantry man is exempt. Suaday is a full-dress day; mass is said at 9 in the morning, and then the soldiers have the whole day to themselves, and may be seen pla3 , ing at skittles and other games, rambli g over the country, and thronging the dirty streets of Mourtnelon le Grand, and of o'her neighbouring hamlets, where poultry, rabbits, fruit, vegetables, 'and various delicacies likely to tempt their appetite, are exposed for sale in newly run up wooden sheds, in carte, and in heaps upon the ground., This morning dawned most urpropitiously for the usual religious ceremony. The sky was of a dull leaden tint, except where heavy murky masses of cloud drifted across the monotonous surface, apparently charged with water, soon to descend in torrents. The camp looked, as camps always do in such weather, a collection of the most wretched residences into which human beings were ever uncomfortably packed. The poor village of Mourmelon looked more dismal than ever; the flimsy wooden shops and cafes that have sprungt e l , 7o; ll it and in it—wherever a n oo k o f ground was avails to shiver in their nakedness, as if an ticipating a u r f e re and perhaps trembled at the re co ll ect i on of the fate ° . n a their number, which, the o her day, a heavy gust O f Tisel bodily away, scattering its fragments far and wide; a u ito ollo its unhappy proprietor bemoani ng his ruin. b I V, nothing could bo more dismal than the morningliiiiitl, buoyant spirits of French soldier s a re p ro of against 0 01 M influences.
