" A despatch was received at Newbern, North
Carolina, on the 20th from
Beaufort, stating that
our troops were then in entire possession of M • orris
Island. No intelligence of this fact '
comes from any
other quarter.
"Another important cavalry expedition has
taken place in Western Virginia. A cavalry force,
under Colonel Tolland, of the 34th Ohio mounted
infantry, and Colonel Powell, of the 2d Virginia
cavalry, sent by Brigadier-General Ecammon from
Charleston, Virginia, to cut the Virginia and
Tennessee Railroad at Wytheville, has been suc-
cessful. They captured Wytheville after a severe
fight, took 120 prisoners, two pieces of artillery,
and 700 stand of arms. Our loss was about 65
killed and wounded. Colonel Tolland and Captain
de Law, of Cincinnati, wefe killed, and Colonel
enemy lost
Powell severely wounded. The
17 killed and 5 wounded. Our troops were fired on
by the citizens from the houses. The town was
totally destroyed. The command reached Fayett-
ville on Thursday after a hard march. The Con-
federate guerilla General Morgan appears to be
hunted like a hare through the South part of Ohio.
The main force of his band having been captured
he made his escape from the state, but the pursuit
of our troops was crushing. He was met by the
militia under Hall, after crossing the Muskingum
River, but escaped jute Guernsey county, where he
tore up the railroad, &c., and burned the depot.
After this he went to the .town of Washington.
The latest accounts we have of his movements state
that at 11 o'clock yesterday he was driven out of
Washington, and had proceeded to Winchester on
his route to the Stenhenville and Indiana railroad,
pursued by our forces."
The subscription for the poor negroes who suf-
fered by the riots exceed 27,000 dollars.
The following is the congratulatory order issued
by Governor Seymour to the New York militia:—
" STATE OF NEW YORK.
" Temporary Head-quarters of the Commander-in-
Chief.
New York City, July 24.
" The governor and commander-in-chief of the
military forces of the state of New York, upon the
return of those regiments of the National Guard,
who, upon his order, with a promptness and ala-
crity which excited the admiration of the whole
country, went forth on a sudden call of danger to
other states, expresses to them his thanks for their
gallant and successful service, which has been alike
honourable to them and to the state] whose name
and arms they are proud to bear.
" By the ready and vigorous assistance thus ren-
dered, the soil of Pennsylvania was relieved from
the presence of the invader, and aid was given to
the national armies which helped to win the victory
at Gettysburg. The people of the state of New
York will remember with pride and honour with
praise their fellow-citizens who had prepared them-
selves for this great work by a long period of
drill and discipline at a time when general en-
couragement was withheld. It required no
little moral courage to uphold our militia system
when it had fallen into disrepute ; but this
has been done by the citizen soldiery of
New York, who have nobly maintained their
organisation, and by their example and zeal revived
a martial spirit throughout the state which we
must regard as our surest protection in the hour of
danger. It has shown the utility of that section of
our national constitution which declares that a
well-regulated militia being necessary for the
security of a free state, the right of the people to
keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.' So
careful were our fathers upon this point that they
exempted the musket from seizure and sale before
they placed the tools of the mechanic and the im-
plements of husbandry beyond the reach of the cre-
ditors' grasp. They confided the safety of the re-
public to the hands of the citizens, and secured to
them the musket as they did the ballot, for the de-
fence of their rights and the protection of their in-
terests. Time has demonstrated their wisdom.
" If our militia system is allowed to decay, all our
institutions are weakened. The militia is the main
strength of the executive to maintain the laws, put
down insurrection, and repel invasion. Within 30
days the unformed militia of this state have gone
forth to assist their brethren beyond our limits and
have returned to put down riot, arson, and robbery
at home. They have aided in defending the na-
tional flag and honour upon the battle-fields of other
states; and, that done, their tread upon the pave-
ments of this great city brought back a sense of
security to its disturbed and endangered inhabit-
ants. It would neither be just to those gallant
soldiers, nor true to the occasion, in commending
their prompt obedience and honourable service, not
to add an expression of the gratitude due to them
for their just appreciation of their constitutional
duties, and the labour and time they have given to
preparation for the work of usefulness and honour
which they have now accomplished. The state of
New York has already furnished 226,000 volunteers
to the national service. It now contains within its
limits more than 300,000 persons liable to service
in its militia.
" The proper organisation of this great force will
not only preserve the power and safety of the state,
.but enable it to be even more beneficial in its aid to
the nation and to other states than it has been here-
Dfore.

One failure was occasioned by the over-anxiety of Cut-
away's rider to make play, who, when the flag was lowered,
came away with a clear load, followed by Mother Bunch,
the favourite lying on the inside, with Seaboy on his whip
hand, and Rigolboche next, to the foot of the hill, where
Cutaway dropped Ipek, and his place was taken by his
stable companion, who, with Seaboy and Rigolboche, sepa-
rated themselves from the ruck and came on together, the
favourite winning very cleverly by a length ; a bad
third ; Overcast was fourth, Pelios filth, and Coeur de
Leon next; the last three were Jeanette, Elise, and Play-
thing.

(REUTER'S EXPRESS.)
(Arrival of the Jura.)
LIVERPOOL, WC/baby.
The Canadian mail steamer Jura, Captain Aston,
from Quebec on the 25th ult.,arrived in the Mersey
this evening. A telegraphic summary has already
been published, and the Portland and Quebec jour-
nals contain little detail of any particular interest.
Tb.e papers from New York are no later than those
already received by the Sidon.
We extract the following despatches from the
New York Tribune's Harper's Ferry letter of the
21st ult.—" The main body of our army is 25 miles
south of Berlin. It is not impossible that they will
return to Berlin. Lee lies between Martinsburg
and Winchester. His pickets occupy the Potomac
River from Cherry Run, 13 miles west of Martins-
burg, down to Harper's Ferry. On Friday night
they drove in our pickets at the Ferry. They are
in force at Sheppardstown, Martinsburg, and
Charleston. The rumour that Lee has crossed into
Maryland is unconfirmed. The latest official infor-
-1 mation leaves the two armies watohing each other
—the rebels on the west side and the Federals on
the east side of the Blue Ridge. (Later).—Lee's
army was in motion at three o'clock this morning
in the direction of Winchester. Four hundred rebel
cavalry attempted to cross the Potomac last night
at Nolan's Ferry with the intention of making a
raid on the railroad, but their designs were frus-
trated. The rebel cavalry have made their appear-
ance in the vicinity of Langley, near Chain Ridge.
There are rumours of an important movement on
the Upper Potomac."
The Washington Star thinks that Lee is aiming
at a junction with Bragg and Johnston, to attack
Rosencranz, with a prospect, in case of defeat, of
the remains of the three rebel armies retreating
across the Mississippi into Texas or Mexico.
The Washington Republican contains the follow-
ing :—" From the best information at hand it ap-
pears that Lee's army is near Winchester, or above
that point, while our army occupies such a position
that he cannot get to Richmond without fighting at
a disadvantage. General Lee is either holding
his position to gather supplies from the crops in the
village, or with the aid of such reinforcements as
he may have obtained, to give another battle, or
series of battles, to the army of the Potomac. We
may expect stirring news from General Meade's
army soon."
A Washington dispatch says :—" The relative
situation of the army in the valley as understood,
is as follows :—General Meade has the Confederate
army entirely entrapped. He is evidently massing
forces to break his way through to Richmond, but
it will probably be a more difficult undertaking
than the one at Gettysburg. After all the delay
there is now not much prospect of Lee being able
to get his army back to Richmond, or even as far
as the upper end of the Shenandoah Valley."
A Chambersbnrg dispatch of July 3, says:—
" Lee left Winchester with his staff yesterday
morning in the direction of Middleburg and Stras-
burg. Imboden's force is known to be guarding the
mountain passes near Bath. Lee's heaviest force is
now in and around Winchester. He has been re-
inforced from Lower Virginia and North Carolina
by a force, reported at 10,000, under D. H. Hill."
The United States steamer Circassian had arrived
at New York from Charleston, with advices to the
19th ult. A general engagement was just com-
mencing as she left. General Gilmore had erected
a masked battery in the woods, quite near Fort
Wagner, and expressed no doubt but that the
attack by himself and Admiral Dahlgrdn would
prove successful. As the early morning shadows
disappeared the attack began, and a perfect shower
of shot and shell was poured into Fort Wagner.
The Petersburg (Virginia) Express of the 23d ult.,
referring to the cavalry expedition sent out by
General Foster, says :—" The Yankee raiders burnt
the railroad bridge overTarßiver near Rocky Mount.
They destroyed the depot at that place, tore up two
miles of the track, burnt 5,000 bales of cotton, and
a large cotton factory. The bridge over the Tar
River was on the Wilmington and Weldon
Railroad, and was about 300 yards long. They also
captured a train of cars, which contained two car
loads of ammunition and 30,0001 b. of bacon, which
were destroyed."
It was rumoured at Washington that General
Grant was to be made a major-general in the regu-
lar army. It was also reported at Washington that
Johnston was about to surrender to Sherman or
Grant, but it was impossible to get it authenticated.
" Philadelphia, July 23.
" The Council have negatived the bill appropriat-
ing 500,000 dollars to pay exemptions for drafted
men. The vote stood-18 Democrats for the bill,
and 18 Republicans and 4 Democrats against it. A
bill was subsequently passed, appropriating 1,000,000
for relief to families of drafted men."
" Cincinnati, July 23.
"Morgan crossed the Muskingum River at Eagles-
port, 18 miles below Seanesville, at ten a.m. Scouts
report his forces 1,000 strong, with three pieces of
artillery. Colonel Lemont, of the 86th Ohio, sent
his regiment and a large number of militia after
him.
" Colonel Chandler, of Seanesville, and 25 citizens
(scouts), were captured at Deerstown last night.
" The latest reports from Eaglesport say that the
86th Regiment, under Lieutenant-Colonel M‘Far-
land, is fighting the Confederates, and driving them
up the river towards Seanesville. This is not en-
tirely reliable.
" Business is suspended at Seanesville, and the
citizens are turning out en masse to resist Morgan's

pared without any mercurial ingredient, from the recipe of Dr.
Scott, of Bromley, Kent, will be found invaluable to all who

mote digestion, and strengthen the whole nervous system.

ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's-inn-road,
in the immediate vicinity of the Great Northern Rail-
way Terminus, at King's-cross.
Patron—The QUEEN.
President—The Duke of BUCCLEUCH, R.G.
Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq.
This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for-
mality of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom-
panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
capable of admittim„, into its wards a very large proportion of
the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
funds in order to have 500 beds•available for the reception of
these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover,
it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.
The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an
EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support,
to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.
Contributions are received by the Treasurer, Edward
Mu terman, Esq., Nicholas-lane; also by Messrs. Coutts and

APPEAL.

--- -
The Committee of Management have to state that, since
he beginning of the year 1850, the Royal National Lifeboat
Institution has expended £32,000 on various Lifeboat Estab-
lishments on the Coasts of England, Scotland, and Ireland.
The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the
Society and other means, since its formation, is 12,800 ;
for which services 82 Gold Medals, 718 Silver Medals, and
£18,480 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu-
tion has also expended £67,000 on Life-boats, Life-boat
Transporting-carriages, and Boat-houses.
The Committee desire to express their grateful sense of
the generous support which they have received from the
British public during the past few years, a support which
has enabled them to establish their present magnificent fleet
or 123 Lifeboats on the shores of the United ICingdom.
Deeply sensible, however, of the great responsibility that
rests on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient
state, and its Crews practised in the management of their
boats, whi h can only be effected by a large and permanent
annual income, they earnestly appeal to all classes of their
countrymen to aid them in upholding and perpetuating so
great and truly national a work.
The Committee gratefully acknowledge the following con-
tributions :

Thomas de Grey was a gallant soldier in the wars
of Edward 111., and held among other manors in
Northumberland that of Howick, but the historian
who cares about accuracy instead of heraldic pro-
babilities will prefer to date the existing family
from Sir John Grey of Berwick, who was alive in
1372. His son, Sir Thomas Grey of Berwick and
Chillingham, had, by his wife Jane, a daughter of
John Mowbray, Duke of Norfolk, two sons, from
the eldest of whom, Sir John Grey, were derived

Henry VIM vv—, h ed moiety o possess •
iety of the manor
of Howick. His second son, Sir Ralph Grey of
Chillingham, who ultimately became his heir, was
the father of the first Lord Grey of Warke, who
played an important part in the civi • '
l war, fought
on the popular side, and for same ti •
me acted as
Speaker of the House of Lords. The great. grandson
devoted of this Lord Grey, though a man in heart
to the same cause, is probably the one ancestor of
whom the family is ashamed, being Fords, third
Lord Grey of Warke and Earl of Tankerville, one
of the very few men of his time and class ever con-
victed of a want of nerve sufficient to overpower
alike the pride of class and the sense of duty. He had
the courage to stake head and lands in resistance to
James"., and accepted the command of Monmouth's
-cavalry, but fled withitirom the field of Sedgemoor.
He saved himself by giving evidence against his
friends, and his intrigue with his sister-in-law, Lady
Henrietta Berkeley, which gave rise to a cause
calibre, seems Lohave outraged even the ideas of
that wild age. His trial is one of the strangest re-
cords of real overmastering passion ever written.
He committed a great crime, but it is impossible
to read the dully picturesque report in the State
Trials without perceiving that the private defence
of the accused noble, that he was utterly over-
mastered by his over love, was true—an admission
which in the majority of such cases would be utterly
false—that by one of. those strange accidents which
are never impossible, yet so seldom occur, he had in
Henrietta Berkeley found his double, and that for
once, in open court, before all England, Paul Per-
roll's dream was realised—the dream of a love
which could survive alike ruin, and sarcasm, and
crime. At the last moment, when all ignominy
might have been avoided, and Lord Grey:had
worked himself up to promise he would never see his
paramour again, he broke down, and refused all
terms unless he were permitted to see her. The
case was ultimately withdrawn, why, was never
explained. His sole surviving child, a daughter.
carried the estate of Chillingham into the family of
Bennet, Lord Ossuiston (Arlington of the Cabal
belonged to these Bennets), who was therefore
created Earl of Tankerville, and her descendants to
this day own the great Chillingham Park, and the
breed of white wild bulls, and divide with the
Greys of Howick and the Percies the political in-
fluence of Northumberland,
Sir Ralph, the father of the first Lord Grey of
Warke, had a younger brother, Sir Edward Grey of
Howick, whose descendant, Henry, was in 1736
owner of the whole of the manor of Howick, and
was created a baronet. Two of Sir Henry's sons
died unmarried, the eldest having .represented
the county in 1754 and 1762; another was
killed in a duel with Lord Pomfret, and
the fourth, Charles, was the founder of the
existing peerage. He was a soldier of some mark
and distinguished himself so far as anybody did in
the American war, fought with Earl St. Vincent iu
the West Indies, and in 1801, under the Addiugtou
administration, was raised to the Peerage as Baron
Grey de Howick, and in 1806 was created Viscount
Howick and Earl Grey. He died Nov. 14,1807,
leaving his dignities to his eldest surviving son
Charles, second Earl, and founder of the modern
political greatness of the family. He was elected
in 1786, being then only twenty-two, member for
Northumberland, and threw himself with ardour into
political life. Like all his family he was a determined
Whig, followed Fox, shared in the convivialities of
Carlton House, and perhaps believed that the Prince
who had betrayed every human being who trusted
him would not betray a Grey. He was soon known
as one of the small group of aristocrats who clearly
foresaw the future, who contended for Catholic
emancipation, the removal of the disabilities of the
Dissenters, the reform of Parliament, the suppression
of the slave trade, and the purification of the ad-
ministrative machine, which had slowly rotted into
an engine for efficient corruption. In 1806 he
entered the Grenville Cabinet as First Lord of the
Admiralty, and on the death of Fox succeeded him
as Secretary for Foreign Affairs. The question of
Catholic Emancipation formed, however, a bar to
his further rise under George lll.—Whigs in those
days having convictions as well as traditions—and
on the Regent's accession he was like the rest of
his party betrayed, the King hoping to compound
for a hundred perjuries by keeping one oath which
he did not comprehend. The Earl, fortified by a

Thenin which the un-

of his party, and enabled them for the first time in
suglish history to effect a complete transfer of

trous result. Be
that.as it may, in the first Reform
Administration the
special character of the Premier
and the special uses of as: aristocracy came out
in their strongest colours. No Parliament ever
sat in which " dangerous" tendencies were
more apparent. Brains had grown hot in the
contest, end the people were more than half inclined
to plunge at once into the unknown, and effect
farther radical changes in the constitution which
had worn so well. Fortunately for all the empire
except Ireland—which under the new middle-class
' power lost its best chance of final re-organization,—
every mood of the popular mind had to be strained
first through the aristocratic sieve, which
when it included Earl Grey had very close meshes
indeed, and time was allowed for the trial of an
organisation which, after thirty years of deter-
mined and not inglorious effort, now once more
seems feeble, because throughout an empire
whose power, as Pczzo di Borgo said, " has earth
for its base," there is not out of Ireland a grievance
sharp enough to stir the national blood. Earl Grey re-
tired in 1834 from officiallife but thepoliticalinflu;'nce
of his family founded on his reputation has not been
diminished in the hands of his successor7a man in
whom all his father's qualities seem intensified. If
he were not the most, impracticab.e of mankind there
would be in Eugland no one with a chance against
Earl Grey, and his administration of the colonies,
still but partially understood, will one day be found
to have involved as bold, as successful, and a,
portent a revolution as that which his great father
carried through. At this moment there is, perhaps,
no family in England more largely employed in the
public service than that which looks to Earl Grey
ad its head, and scarcely one in which there have
been so few conspicuous failures.
