'lineally upon the encampment at Ascot. The men
WA up their quarters under canvass last week in
msptures with their new mode of existence, and were
settled down steadily to their duties. It was ascer•
• tilted by careful calculation that not more than ten men
-need be allotted to any tent, and upon this basis the
)distribution was
.accerdingly carried out. Scene rein
fell on Tuesday night, but not in sufficient quantity to
had teeny ditogreable oonsequences • the precaution,
toctreorer, had been taken of surroundieg the tents with
' trenchea to carry of any moisture. The only emigre-
keeps whisk mourred—and this occasioned but tempo-
rally inconvenience—consisted in the unexpected failure
of the field-ovens. The defect, lay not in the system,
;but in the soil, which at the spot in question Is of a
light sandy character. Ordinary clay would have been
baked and hardened by the action of the fire, but the
'muscly admixture in the earth forming the sides of the
Ovens caused these to fell in, of course entailing a '
"Winery catnetrophe. Fatigue parties tong to iO•oric at '

interior of the ovens were afterwards faced with brick
to: prevenk a recurrence of this . dilemma. One great.
advantage of this method of field cooking is, that an '
entire range of ovens can lie built or remodelled in the

admiration for gatherings purely devoted to prise
shooting. On the other hand, they do °Wildly "Trove

to that very system of local organisation and co-opera-

a large proportion of our county tile corps is fami-

fact, by the way, which one noble lord strangely over-
looked in the recent fortification debate—that some
25,000 Volunteer Artillerymen have been pronounced by

time since from an eminent Loudon architect, and Mr.
Thomas Brown, of laleham, became the contractor,
ender Mr. William. Brinkley, of London, • native of
Woolpit, Suffolk, as clerk of the works. The tower
was considered to be the most dangerous part of the
fabric; and in a conversation with Mr. Brinidey, rely
two hours before the tower fell, that gentleman stated
his opinion that it had, at some time or other, been
struck by lightning; and the appearance of the ruins
friU bears out the conjecture. Indeed, Messrs. Cowell
and Hook, contractors, of Soham, had actually pre-
pared an estimate, but forseeing the danger wisely
forbore to send it in. Every precaution ban, however,
been taken • direct shores bad been placed inside and
out, and also double raking shores, framed red bolted
together, of immense proportions, to • height of BO feet,
which appeared sufficient, even if the lower part of the
tower did gave way, to hold the bells and frame
together with the upper part of the tower in their
proper position; notwithstanding which, at the time
above stated, the workmen on the scaffolding (ona of
whom saw a mullion fall from the west window, and
kaki the alarm) had just time to escape, when the
mass came perpendicularly down, happily without
