THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 12, 1864. -

evening is, it seems, to be attends& with all t
„e,
excitement of a journey by coach woes wish)
or Bertha-heath, or through M Fo
eighty years ago. Only on the ' 'hw
was usual to escape with your life ,:subu
railway where the stations are freiffitt; and t

journey is so short, there is not time for so much
courtesy all " Your money or your life." Railway
assaults are like railway accidents of the minor
sort, swift, sudden, laid complete, and don't stop
short of instant murder. Brit murder is only one
of the felicities of our advanced railway civiliza-
tion. Rape is another. On Wednesday last a
young wommi took her seat in • second-class
carriage on_the South Western Railway between
' Surbiton and Woking, and found herself in com-
pany with two other passengers. One of these
began to talk to her rudely and offensively, and
, when the third passenger got out at the next
&teflon the scoundrel actually laid hands on the
poor girl. She only saved herself from • criminal
assault by throwing open the door and taking
I refuge on the step, where she was seen by a boy
in the next carriage, and there held, fainting,
for five miles by a passenger. Luckily some
labourers in the fields caught sight of the
poor clinging creature ; the train was stopped,
and she wudrawn swooning into the carriage. The
scoundrel who assaulted her was, of course, taken
into custody, but he has slipped through the
hands of the magistrates of one county from
having oom mitted the assault in another. Here, then,
are two instances in one week of railway "accidents"
far more terrible and, it would seem, far less pre-
ventible than that simple catastrophe at Egham.
Is there no way of insuring a constant patrol of
railway guards along a gangway from one end of
the train to the other, and a continual supervision
of all the carriages, so as at least to prevent the
necessity of travelling from Bow to Hackney
armed to the teeth and sleepless as a sentinel

THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION'S
iff.EIFTING AT WIRIiILEDON. • •
it about four o'clais;r7o. rate y his Flo*
Highness tire Prince id Waist over from
it. 10010, to inspect the, enter at
=Medan, and take a shot at running
deer. His royal highness was oded by
Captain Grey, and was received on his arrival
by Earl Grosvenor, Lord Elcho, and Captain
St. John Mildmay, the secretary to the associa-
tion. On alighting from his horse the Prince
proceeded at once to the running-deer target, where
his royal highness took a few shots, and made the
only • bull's-eye" that was signalled on that
occasion. Lord Echo Earl Grosvenor, and the
Master of Lovat also made very good shots ; but it
was remarked of the last-named, that iu the last
stalkiegseason he bad not let the living deer off quite
so easily as he did their irou representative iu the
presence of royalty. After the shooting his
royal highness inspected the tents and visited
the refreshment pavilion, the front portion
of which was crowded with guardsmen, all
of whom, with instinctive discipline, remained
motionless whilst his royal highness passed through.
The volunteers and the public crowded round the
entrance but certain individuals in bine tunics and
having indescribable helmets, with each a letter and
a number on his collar, politely prevented any in-
convenient pressure. His royal highness had next
a ride on the tramway, where an amusing incident
took place. When the Prince had taken his seat,
Lord Elcho, Earl Grosvenor, and the other members
of the council, hesitated to take places until they
had received the royal invitation • but not so an
exceedingly innocent and florid4ooing countryman,
accompanied by a young girl as florid as
himself, who without the slightest ceremony
jumped into the carriage, dragging his fair charge
after him, and riding down the line with the
greatest coolness and nonchalance, and what was
worse, with his back to royalty all the time. We
did not observe this adventurous couple on the re-
turn journey, and we drew our own conclusions.
I The may lady present was Lady Elcbo, who, by
invitation, took her seat beside the Prince of Wales.
The other passengers, exclusive of the heir apparent
and the country couple, were Lords Grosvenor and
Elebo Colonel Kennedy, and the veteran rifleman,
Mr. iota. Having alighted from the carriage his royal
highness mounted his horse and graciously saluted
the crowd of officers, military and volunteer, as he
rode away.
The programme, which commences to-day, ex-
tends to Monday, the 25th, when the principal
prizes will be distributed on Wimbledon Common,
and when athletic sports and games will wind up
the annual meeting. To-day the shooting will
commence at 1 o'clock with All Comers' County
Matches ; but on each succeeding day it will begin
at a quarter past 9a, m. On Sunday next the Arch-
bishop of York is expected to preach in the camp,
and on the following Saturday the metropolitan
and other corps will be reviewed by his Royal
Highness the Commander-in-Chief. A day will also
be fixed for the visit of the Lords and Commons,
as was the case last year, but it is not yet known
whether the Lord Chancellor will take any part in
the shooting for his own prize. As far as we could
observe yesterday the arrangements are excellent,
and do great credit to Captain St. John Mild:nay,
the secretary to the association. As we have before
said, the commissariat is perfect, the volunteers are
made as comfortable as soldiers ought to expect in
a camp, and a railway has been provided to move
them on easy terms from one part of the ground to
another. We wish, however, for the sake of the
public, that Captain Mildmay would use his
influence amongst the fly and omnibus drivers who
ply between the railway station and the ground,
and who yesterday showed strong symptoms of an
intention to reap an extortionate harvest from the
shooting match.
We are authorised to state that no applications
from volunteer corps for nermisaion to attend the
review at Wimbledon on eaturday, the 23rd inst,
will be entertained unless received at the War-office
on oe before Wednesday, the 20th inst. .

DESPATCH OF M. DROUYN DE LHUYS.
-..--

The following has been published at Frankfort as
a summary of the circular despatch upon the Danish
question addressed by 111, Drouyn de Lhnys' on the
28th ult., to the diplomatic agents of the French
Emperor :
, After the statement that "the plenipotentiaries who met
at London to re-establish peace between Germany and
Denmark separated after having confirmed the inutility of
their efforts, and the belligerent parties immediately re-
sumed arms." M. Drouyn de Lhuys 'sensibly regrets that
the labium of the erinfereere have not had a more satis-
factory result," sad he avails himself of this very opportune
occasion to recall "that it has not been the fault of France
that the conclustoo was not different."

The despatch thee continues : "We have not
shut our eyes to the difficulties which this negotiation pre-
sented. Thus, before its commenoement, we bad used every
effort to obtain the meeting of the conference upon the
fittest conditions to facilitate its task. We had especially
desired that a real armistice should be previously vincluded
for the entire duration of the deliberations, and teat the
basis of discussion should be determined in advance. The
Parties have been unable to agree upon them two points,
ad although this first difficulty inspired us at the outset
with doubts as to the issue of the conference, we have moue
the leas sincerely wooded this effort at conciliation. The
plenipotentiary of the Emperor was, consequently, desired
to PlPPift or to suggest every proposition which appeared
likely to bring about an agresinrot
The point of departure of the discussion wen eatura_lly
first of all to be sought in the arrangements of 1852. We
asked ourselves, therefore—first. whether, if remodelled so
as to attain their object better, they might not be made the
banns of an equitable arras mint ; and it was in this genes
that the representative of France expressed himself at the
opening of the negotiations. When, after recognition of
the impossibility of keeping the discussion upon this
ground, the English government proposed an arrangement
giving the southern portion of Sleswig to Holstein as well
as 'anaphors, we did not hesitate to agree to this combi-
nation. It had in our eyes the advantage of taking into
account the national sentiment of the German population
of Sleswig, and of leaving to Holstein, increased by this
annexation, the right of deciding upon its owe fate. While
lendiog our support to the English plenipotentiaries we
acted in perfect coutormity with the principlesof our pub.
lie law, and we should have been rejoiced at an
arrangement which appeared to us acceptable to both par-
ties. The German powers did not consider themselves able to
adhere to it. They claimed for the frontier a line of demar-
cation which would bays assured to Germany the possession
of the mixed district., while Denmark persisted is not
adding this fresh sacrifioe to three she bad consented to
make le abandoning Southern Slessi; as well as Holstein
teed Diumberg. When all the other combinations pot
forward were thrown aside, we suggested a last plan. We
recommended that the populations forming the subject of
dispute should be called upon to express their sentiments,
sad thus famish the conference with the necessary data for
Marie. the line of demarcation is the most equiteble
man-
ner. W. have not bees able to prevent the rupture of
negotiations, sod the difference is again left to be decided
by arms."
The despatch concludes as follows :
" Opinion has shown itself sensibly moved by the resump-
tion of hostilities, and looks with disquiet to the conse-
quences so unequal a contest may seta. For our parts we
shall be unable to disregard the henries of events so directly
affecting the interests of all the maritime powers in the
north, sad even those of the equihbriam of this portion of
Europe. We entertain the sincerest wishes that the dangers
may be avoided which these events might bring about ; and,
guided by the memo seotimente which have hitherto proved
Mende of our conduct, and "desiring to maintain the im-
partial attitude we have taken up, we are willing to bops
that so complication will arise of so grave • nature as to
neceseitate our embracing a different policy."
