We understand that Major• General W. G. Brown
has resigned the command of the troops in China,
and returns home to England immediately. He has only
held the command since the early part of last y ar. Among
those who are likely to succeed hint may be named General
Staveley, who held the command before General Brown.
But no appointment will be made until the arrangement of
the scale of pay and allowances to be given to Gen. Brown's
successor is determined.—Anny and Navy Gazette.
RUBINI'S FASCINATION.—The opinion of Rubini
was always to respect. Never, probably, was there another
singer who so aholutely commanded the admiration of his
brother artists. I remember well that in the " good old
times," when he was executing one of his fascinating arias,
Lablache and others of " the corps" would linger at the
wings, as though unuidin,g to lose one of his enchanting
notes. Considering how unusual it is for one sint4er to take
much interest in the performance of another, this tact is
significant of Rueini's power of enhancing the ear of hjas
listeners.— umley's Reminiscences of the Opera.

THE CAMP OF CIIALONS.—This year the force
Waned under the command of Marshal de Mac.
Mahon includes three divisions of in.antry and one of
cavalry; the heads of divisions are Generals d'Autemarre
d'Erville, Deurbaki, and Dumont; and of brigades, Gene-
rals de Is ()harrier°, Guigut.rd, Moncaudon, Baron Sus-
Saurin, Veron de Beliecourt, Ameil, and Count
Duhesme. General Jarras is chief of the stiff, and
General Leury commands tha artillery, The forces
consist of twelve regiments of infantry, three
battalions of foot chasseurs, four regiments of
cavalry, nine batteries of artillery, four companies of engi
etee&s, ono of the waggon train, detachments of infirmary
a:sis:ants, gendarmes, and workmen iu the pay of tee ad-
ministration-113.e whole numbering 16,000 men. The
cavalry has all arrived since the 15th June. The two finest
regiments, the 6th and B‘ll Hussars, are formed into a bri-
gade under the orders of General I)uheswe. Marshal de
iNLlcMahon arrived at the camp a week ago, but left imme-
diately for Paris; he returned three days later with the
Duchess de Magenta, who has taken up her residence in the
pavillion of the imperial quarters, and which is intended for
the Empress's suite and foreign princes. The camp is
opened, but nothing will be done before the 25th. The

Each year the residence becomes more easy and more com-
,ortable, The huts are carefully kept, and the regimental
gardens are as agreeable to the eye as to the health of the
troopo.

A Washington Cespatch of the 14th sayE-4'A
beout who arrived here to-night from the front says
that Sheridan's cavalry force, which started out on 'Thurs••
day last on an extended raid, had not been heard from when
ha left; but it was the :repression in the army that he had
reached Charlottsville, on his way to Lynchburg.h. The
rebel cavalry are nut in a conditica to seriously impede his
successful prozress, and he will probably reach the latter
point with little or no fighting in the way. From Lynch'
burgh his movements will remain a mystery-, for the present
at least."
