AMERICA.

New YORK, July 2, Evening.

Great uncertainty and speculation exists in the
public mind as to the reason why the Federal
Administration make no forward movement.
All the Baltimore Police Commissioners have been
arrested, and the military remain posted throughout
the city.
The Tennessee Secession troops have left Knox-
ville in order to prevent the advance of Federal
troops into East Tennessee.
The stagnation of trade is increasing. The
steamers Persia, Etna, and Hammonia have arrived
oat.

The Golden Fleece has passed Father Foist.

TIN REVIEW AT %V IIIELEDON.—On Saturday the
long proceedings connected with the great meeting
of the National Rifle Association were brought to a.
triumphant close by one of the best managed and
most brilliant Volunteer reviews ever witnessed. It
was emphatically a grar d success, of which the pro-
moters and all the regiments who so ably took part
in it may feel justly proud. This was fixed to take
place at three o'clock. Before that hour, however,
a challenge match between the rival Unversities was
shot off, the ex-champion, Mr. Ross, and Mr. Peter-
kin representing Cambridge; Mr. Nonsworthy and
Mr. Owen being nominated for Oxford. The ranges
were at SOO, 900, and 1,000 yards. and so utterly
was Oxford beaten, that the lowest score made by
Mr. Rosa for Can3hridge was better by two points
than that of both the Oxford men united. Precisely
at three o'cloek his Royal Highness came upon the
ground and proceeded to the raised dais from which
the prizes were to lie delivered. Fronting this was
' a long scarlet 'platform table, on which the splendid
range of cups, salvers, shields, and tankaris to. be
given glittered in the sun. Among these, though
less conspicious, yet not leas valuable, were the little
rows of leather purses, containing chicks for various
amounts for such winners as preferred their prises in
hard cash. On the left of this platform the 10th
company of the South Middlesex, as the company to
which Mr. Jopling belongs, was drawn up, and the
London Scottish formed the guard of honour. The
prize winners, 93 in number, formed in single file
in front of the dais. Before proceeding to deliver
the prizes his Royal Highness addressed the Volun-
teers. The distribution was then proceeded with.
Several of the competitors carried of two, three,
and even four prizes, and these gentlemen were
loudly cheered as they came for their extra honours.
Ti) each of them his Royal Highness made a few
kind observations, congratulating them on their suc-
cess. Captain Rosa, sen., who took the Association
Cup—the Duke's prize—was loudly cheered. So,
also, were the two representatives of Rugby, who
carried off Lor.l Ashburton's prize—the superb Cellini
shield east in silver by Elkington—between them.
Judged as a whole, it was a display of which the
entire metropolis may well be proud, for the corps
assembled at Wimbledon were, after all, only speci-
mens of what the metroplitan regiments can turn out
when required. Thit display also settled the ques-
tion of the fitness of W itubledon for such greet gather-
ings, and showed it to be what it really is—the best
and most convenient ground to be found anywhere
near London.
