NEW YORK, Nov. 28, Morning.

General Meade crossed the Rapidan during the
26th and 27th at Jacob's, Germania, and Culpepper
Fords, and advanced by three different routes, con-
verging on the Orange Courthouse-road.

The Confederates offered no resistance to Meade'a
passage of the river.
Heavy firing was heard yesterday near Orange
Courthouse, lasting from morning till night, but no
particulars of the engagement have been received.

represented to be destroyed.

THE GREAT FIGHT.

We believe it may now be maid that all the preliminaries
for the Great Fight between Heenan and King are com-
pleted. The "authorities" met to• day, and a programme
was sketched out, which, if followed implicity, will ensure
a satisfactory termination. If assurances can be depended
upon, then, one and all of the parties, to whom the custody
of the "ring" will be entrusted, have made up their minds
not only to adhere most strictly to their instructions, but
to guarantee the good conduct of those who may be called
upon to assist them. The utmost anxiety prevails to learn
the spot selected for the "friendly encounter," but the
most masonic secrecy is observed with respect to that
locality. At many of the sporting houses to-day numerous
hints were given to those curious enough to enquire the
whereabouts, but whentho information was tested by again
inquiring at another of the pugilistic hostelries " a tip"
was given quite in the opposite direction. At one place,
" London-bridge, at three" was lowly whispered ; at
another, " G. W. R., at four" ; and thus all parties desirous
of early information were kept completely in the dark.
Supposing all goes on correctly, we believe the intending
voyageurs will be put in possession of " the secret" about
nine o'clock this evening. At the West-end Heenan is an
immense favourite, while the East-enders take all the 7's
to 4 they can get about King.

MARKETS—This Day.

Fresh up to our market this morning the arrivals of home-
grown wheat were very moderate. Good and fine dry
samples moved off slowly, at Monday's quotations ; other-
wise, the trade was dull, at quite that day's fall in the cur-
rency.

With foreign wheat the market was by no means exten-
sively supplied. Sales, however, progressed slowly in all
descriptions, at about stationary prices.
Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, at late
rates.

The barley trade was very quiet, and the show of samples
was tolerably large. The trade, with the exception of good
and fine malting parcels, ruled quiet, on former terms.
The malt trade was in a sluggish state, yet no change
took place in prices.
The supply of oats on sale was moderate. On the whole,
he demand ruled steady, and the quotations were supported.
Beans and peas sold heavily, at barely late rates.
Barrel flour was in moderate request, at full prices.
English, Spanish, and French qualities moved off steadily,
at late rates.

PRUSSIA THINKS OF WAR.—There are at Berlin
several pamphlets treating on the best way of fighting the
French, or anybody. We notice "Die Offensive der

Preussischen Armee entworfen von W. von der Herdo,"
and "Der Kampfweise der Franzosen ztt begegnen," by
the same author.

"Is THE SUN A COMET ?" a brochure by Matze-
nauer, is among the recent publications of the German

press.

CAMPBELL'S BRILLIANT CONVERSATIONAL
POWERS,—I remember being told by a personage
who was both a very popular writer and a very brilliant
converser, that the poet Campbell reminded him of Gold-
smith—his conversation was so inferior to his fame. I
could not deny it ; for I had often met Campbell in general
society, and his talk had disappointed me. Three days after-
wards, Campbell asked me to come and sup with him tete-
d-tete. I did so. I went at 10 o'clock. I stayed till dawn;
and all my recollections of the most sparkling talk I have
ever heard in drawing-rooms afford nothing to equal th et
monologue.
riotous affluence of wit, of humour, of fancy, of gernus, that
the great lyrist poured forth in his wondrous
Monologue it was ;he had it all to himself,—Mr /Mar

rank among the very best productions of the class of litera-

which the Yorkshire clergyman's daughter founded. We

decease of Charlotte Bronte.--Iliessenger.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 9, 1863.

The intelligence brought to us by this last mail
from the opposite shores of the Atlantic, gives us
but a broken view of the situation of things just
now between the belligerents. We see but half of
what had just then occurred ! The tidings, coming
as usual through the North, suffers distortion.
Whatever there was, of good-news for the Federals,
t° be related, is told fully and eagerly, and with
the hightBt possible colouring. Whatever there
was, of bad news for the Federals, is just as sedu-
lously attPpressed, as far, that is, of course, as sup-
pression was any way possible. /toted wherever it

particular accounts are thus furnished by these

contest between GRANT and BRAGG in the vicinity
of Chattamauga and Chattanooga on the borders
of Tennessee. Accounts they are that look more
than ugly, that appear to be nothing less than dis.
sastrous to BRAGG and his followers. Accounts
under any circumstances that relate, there can be
little doubt of this, to oae of the most brilliant suc-
cesses yet obtained by the North over the Confe-
derates. Meanwhile nothing whatever is
said
about certain warlike movements that, in spite of
such studied silence in regard to them, it
is quite manifest have recently been taking
place between the main armies of the North
and of the South upon the banks of the Rapidan.
According to the cant phrase of our time, the reti-
cencetaose manifested by the North, thus, in regard to
recent movements of a warlike character along
the banks of the . ,

QUALITY OF THE CITY GAS.

The illuminating power of the gas was in each ease equal
to the requirements of the Acrof Parliament, the average
for the week being for the City gas, 144 standard candles
—Chartered gas, 13.47 candles—and the Great Central gas,
13.45 candles. Except in the case of the Chartered Com-
pany, the average proportion of sulphur in the gas was less

TEETH.-Mr. ESKELL'S INVENTION in
the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH has the
following advantages :—A set of teeth, of excellent work-
manship and mechanism, can be made and fitted with the
most perfect accuracy and success, in a few hours, without
pain or extraction of stumps, and to answer all the purposes
of mastication and articulation. They are fitted without
wires or fastenings, and adapt themselves so perfectly to the
gums, that they are quite immoveable, except at the option
of the wearer. Invalids or residents in the country can ad-
just these teeth to many changes of the mouth without the
aid of a dentist. They are not so liable to injury, are always
useful, and will last a lifetime. Comfort guaranteed. Trea-

MARKETS—This Day.

Fresh up to our market this morning the arrivals of home-
grown wheat were very moderate. Good and fine dry
samples moved off slowly, at Monday's quotations; other-
wise, the trade was dull, at quite that day's fall in the cur-
rency.

With foreign wheat the market was by no means exten-
sively supplied. Sales, however, progressed slowly in all
descriptions, at about stationary prices.
Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, at late
rates.

The barley trade was very quiet, and the show of samples
was tolerably large. The trade, with the exception of good
and fine malting parcels, ruled quiet, on former terms.
The malt trade was in a sluggish state, yet no change
took place in prices.
The supply of oats on sale was moderate. On the whole,
he demand ruled steady, and the quotations were supported.
Beans and peas sold heavily, at barely late rates.

Barrel flour was in moderate request, at full prices.
English, Spanish, and French qualities moved off steadily,
at late rates.

CAMPBELL'S BRILLIANT CONVERSATIONAL
POWERS,—I remember being told by a personage
who was both a very popular writer and a very brilliant
converser, that the poet Campbell reminded him of Gold-
smith—his conversation was so inferior to his fame. I
could not deny it ; for I had often met Campbell in general
society, and his talk had disappointed me. Three days after.,
wards, Campbell asked me to come and sup with him tete-
d-tete. I did so. I went at 10 o'clock. I stayed till dawn;
and all my recollections of the most sparkling talk I have
ever heard in drawing-rooms afford nothing to equal the
riotous affluence of wit, of humour, of fancy, of genius, that
the great lyrist poured forth in his wondrous monologue.
Monologue it was ; he had it all to himself,--ASV .Thatver

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Parrs is about 3 per mille pm., and
the short exchang,e on London is 25.30 per .£1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appe,tr that gold is
nearly 2-10th per cent dearer in London than in Paris.
By advises frunalamburg the price of gold is 4254 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.44 per £1 sterling.
standard gold at the English Mirt:price is, therefore, about
3-10th per cent. dearer in tianaburg than in London.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
00 days' sight is 168 to 1664 per cent., and the premium on
gold is :about 51i per cent. At these rates there is scarcely
y profit on the importation of gold from the United
States,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—We are induced to solicit the powerful aid of The
Sun to enable us to lay the claims of the National Lifeboat
Institution before the British public during the present un-
precedented stormy period.

In consequence of the liberality of that public, the insti-
tution has been enabled during the past twelve years to
increase the number of its lifeboat stations from 12 to 125,
so it may now be truly said that a lifeboat is to be found on
every dangerous point of our coast where a sufficient num-
ber of men are located to work it.

But this very extended field of the operations of the in-
stitution has necessarily involved a large and increasing
expenditure, not only in maintaining its great fleet of life-
boats, but also in rewarding the gallant men who are ever
ready to man them.
But the Institution does more than reward the men who
go into its own boats, it also grants liberal payments to per-
sons who, either in their own boats or by any other means,
are instrumental in rescuing the shipwrecked sailors.

Thus it is that between 500 and 600 wrecked persons are
now saved every year by the lifeboats of the institution and
other means, for which services it grants rewards.
The perusal of the reports of the dreadful effects of the
late storm, and happily also of the successful efforts of so
many daring services of our lifeboats, which saved during
Thursday and Friday last 125 poor fellows from a watery
grave, cannot fail to excite the sympathy of every one.
We will only add that contributions are received for the
Lifeboat Institution by all the London and county bankers,
and by its secretary, Mr. Richard Lewis, at 14, John-street,
Adelphi.—We are, sir, your obedient servants,

THOMAS BARING, Chairman.
