lug of cavalry, he remarks thus :—" Strange to say,theugh the panic and very discreditable rout was
caused by alarms of, and might have been prevented
by the presence of cavalry, nu steps are taken
to remedy that great deficiency." It is not one
month since the above was written, and
yet several regiments of cavalry are nearly
organised and egnipped, and the President
is now calling for more. Is it true, then, to say
that no step* Lave been taken to remedy this great
deficiency ! I could easily cite other and by no
means unimportant cases where Mr. Runge!' has
conveyed a false impression Amend, not so much by
pesitive inaccuracy as by s'atemeuts which only
conveyed a partial view of the case. In thus notic-
! ing these letters ou the civil war, I have no other
:that than that of truth. Candid and intelligent
Americans at the North do not ask of him to be-
come their champion, hut only that in a struggle
which involves fluestifemof such magnitude, and in
circumstances wholly new, he 'should riseabove the
spirit of a supercilious cynic, and write as one who
can sympathise with that which is generous and
true as well as that which is ridiculous and
defective. At all events, if be holds up
Aniericau doings and sayings to the gaze
of the European world, let him him not be content
with merely shallow, interesting, and sensational
letters, but also *int to give the excellences as well
as the defects which enter into this strife. Under-
lying b that is mere show and talk, there is a
deep stratum of patriotism, and a young and vigor-
ous nation of twenty millions will not tamely sit
down and see its government destroyed to advance
the interest and growth of a slave oligarchy with-
out an earnest struggle ; and though in its haste
and inexperience it may, in the beginning, suffer
various defeats, through the lessons of reverse it

leli:alAlk Field and Eli_zalrlk Reere; two well-dreseed
youog women, were charged with being on the platform of
the Mouth Eastern Railway, at London-bridge, for the put.
pane of committing a felony.
Scasnmell, a detective officer, said that in consequence of
numerous robberies having been lately committed at the
terminus of the Mouth Eastern Railway at London bridge
he was appointed to watch about in private clothes, for the
purpose, if posnole, of detecting the thieve*. The previous
evening, about 7 o'clock, he saw the prisoners on the platform
of the North Kent line just as a train we. coming in, and
having some suspicion about them he asked them what they
were doing there. Field said she was waiting for her
brother from Woolwich, but no such person making his ap-
pearance be took them to the station-master, who told him
that they had been seen loitering about for several days, and
be believed for an improper purpose. Both of them refus-
ing to give any other account of themselves, he took them
into custody as suspected persons.
Mr. Burchaui—Do you know anything about them !
Witness—No, sir. I don't think I ever saw them before.
Mr. Burcham—Did you see either of them do anything!
Witness—No, air ; all they did was to walk among the
crowds.

Mi.f3urcham—What did you take them into custody for?
Witness—Beaty they were suspected persona loitering
about the railway station, and they refused to give their
address. .So many robberies had lately been committed
there, that he believed their intention was to commit •
rubbery.
Mr. Burch= told him that there was no evidence of that,
neither was there anything to show that they were bad
characters ; therefore he should discharge them.
The driver of one of the Kingeland omnibus, was charged
with carrying more pusengers than authorised by his
Hoenig. There were two passengers on the steps, and two
other passengers beyond the number.
The Defendant said he could not help it, the people

Mr. Burch= replied that he was not bound to carry
more then the omnibus was licensed for. Ile must fine
him ris. and costs.

LAMBETH.

Mr. Rwlatrd Erans, a person who is said to be the owner
of considerable property and who has for some years car-
ried on the bulimia of blacksmith and farrier at Dulwich,
and LillNwhite, his workman, were charged with stealing
• quantity of Staffordshire and other bricks, the property
of Marra Lee and Bowles, the contractors for building the
high level sewers in the county of Surrey.
Some five weeks ago a large stack of bricks, 10,000 or
12,000 in number, clove to the residence of Mr. Evans, dis-
appeared in • very mysterious way, and it came to the
knowledge of Sergeant Shepherd that Lillywhite had been
4WD to wheel barrowfuls of Staffordshire bricks
from the house of his master and shoot them
through • hole in the hedge. Shepherd, there-
fore, charged Lillywhite with taking the brick.'
from his master's house, but this he denied. The
officer next spoke to Mr. Evans himself, and told him that
the bricks he had used for paving his shop belonged to
Mews. Lee and Bowles, and ho admitted the fact, but said
they had been lent to him by a person who had been in the
employment of Messrs. Lee and Bowles. Shepherd then
told him he must tike him into custody, and his reply was,
"I expected it, but it's not a hanging matter." On making
a further inspection of the premise. the officer found that en
outhouse had recently been built, end a further charge was
made against Mr. Evans of using the bricks and mortar*/
the contractors foe that erection.

At the termination oitielLCinrcatigation it was agreed
to by all parties that the building should be taken down, to
ascertain if any and what quantity of the contractors' bricks
then wen used in it.

Yesterday, on the prisoners being put to the bar, there
was present for the proeecutioe. Mr. Tibbetts, solicitor, of
Gray'slon ; and for the defence Mr. Metcalfe, the barrister,
instructed by Mr. Beard.
Mr. Tilibats informed the magistrate that the prisoner
would not allow them to take down the building.
In explscation Mr. Metcalfe mid the objection came from
the governors of Dulwich College, who were the landlords,
sad who would hold Mr. Evans responsible for the re-
moval of the building.
Mr. Norton observed he felt quite satisfied that the
governors would not lend themselves to an obstiuction of
public justice, and that there must be some misrepresenta-
tion in the matter. Ultimately he ordered the committal
of both prisoners.

man run out of one of the bed-rooms and make his escape.

EXTENSIVE TIRE NEAR LEEDS.
---e--

On Wednesday morning, Timaite-gate Mill,
Hutudet, was destroyed by fire' and the clamp is esti-
mated at from 5,0001. to 6,0001. The mill, which belongs
to the Aire and Calder Navigation Company, is situated on
a plot of Lind between the river Aire and the canal at
Bungle., and is in We occupation of Messrs. Robson and
Bucktrout, ware grinders and seed crushers. It is • two-
story building, between sixty and seventy yards long. run-
ning nearly north and south, and hiving several out-
buildings lying contiguous on the east, and a large dwell-
ing house, occupied by Mr. Bucktrout, on the south-west.
The mill wee worked up to half-past five the previous even-
ing, some of the men remainiug la the ware-cutting room
until eight. but at that time there was no indication of fire,
and everything appeared safe. About, half-past five in the
morning, fir. Bucktrout, was awoke by cries of "Fire,"
and on looking out he saw flames Miming from the upper
part of the hoist, near the centre of the building. An alarm
was given in the neighbourhood, and messengers were des-
Ntched to Leeds for the engines. in a very short time the
orwich, Leeds and Yorkshire, and Sun engines were on
the spot, and all were gut into play by half-past six,
but the powerful engine belonging to the corporation,
which can only be used to advantage where there are
no tire plugs, was not sent, the answer given to the
messenger being that the fire was out of the borough.
By nine o'clock, however, the fire brigades had got such
°patrol over the flames as to prevent their extension be-
yond the main building. The engine-house and a ware-room
were saved, but with the extion of the stock removed,
the whole of the content. of the mill were either destroyed
or so iajnred as to be comparatively valuelma The stock
was tenured in the Leeds sod Yorkshire and West of
England to the amount of 3,0001., and the buildings in the
Leech and Yorkshire and the Phenix. The origin of the
fire im not knows. There was nothing of • spontaneously
combustible character in the mill, sad unless there has been
some cause not contemplated, there appears to be but one
conclusion, that the piece bad been saealeetelly or wilfully
