Departure of the Queen for Germany,

Her Majesty's steam yacht Fairy, Master Com-
mander D. Welch, arrived off the dockyard, Wool-
wich, on Saturday, under special orders to the
Commodore Superintendent, Sir Frederick Nicolson,
and commenced coaling from the Hebe hulk. The
Fairy will go down to the Arsenal this morning,
and berth alongside the T pier, where the arrange-
ments have been completed in anticipation of the
arrival of her Majesty and the royal family for em-
barcation at low tide to-morrow evening, at 5 o'clock,
as originally intended. The Queen has expressed
her desire to take her departure under the strictest
privacy and seclusion, consequently all applications
fur admission to the Arsenal to witness the embar-
cation have been rejected. Orders have been issued
by the heads of departments, instructing the police
to arrest any persons belonging to the establishment
or otherwise who may be found loitering in or
about the thoroughfares during the time appointed
for the Queen's arrival. The clerks and others
occupying offices in the viciz.ity of the avenues lead-
ing to the pier are also warned not to approach the
windows. The orders are to be enforced under pain
of summary dismissal, and as any breach of the in-
structions is ordered to be rigorously dealt with, it
has been suggested by the departments that the
gates of the establishment shall be closed for the
day at 1 p.m. The proposition to that effect is now
under the consideration of the Secretary of State
for War, and will not probably be issued to-day.
A half-holyday, moreover, is usually granted on
such occasions, and is, therefore, not without prece-
dent. The only persons who, it is stated, will be
in attendance on the departure of the Sovereign will
be Viscount Sydney, Lord Lieutenant of the county;
Col. Sir David Wood, acting Commandant at Wool-
wich ; Sir F. Nicolson, Commodore of the port; and
Capt. Gordon, Superintendent of Stores.

A FEEBLE REJOINDER,

Perhaps the feeblest rejoinder ever penned by
mortal man has just been written by the Rev. F. D.
Maurice, and published in last Saturday's 'Spectator.
It is evidently supposed to be an answer (!) to the
inimitable sarcasm given in this August number of
Fraser by T. C., i.e., Thomas Carlyle, called (in
Latin) " The American Iliad in a Nutshell"—an epi-
gram at once quoted by us from Fraser into our own
columns. As a specimen of F. D. M,'s (that is, as
we have said, the Rsv. F. D. Maurice's) notion of
smartness in the shape of repartee, here is his very
amazing rejoinder copied bodily from the Spectator
of Saturday :

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. 1 RECOGNITION OF REVOLTED STATES.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

THE POLISH INSURRECTION.

CRACOW, AUG. 10.
An engagement took place on the sth at Polichnia,
in the Palatinate of Lublin, in which the insurgent
under Krysinski and Wagner were victorious. They
pursued the Russians for a distance of two miles.
The loss of the insurgents was considerable.
Russian troops are moving from Janow and
Krasnystaw. The Poles are likewise concentrating
their forces, and a battle is expected in consequence.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

_ .
Sir,—The effects of the non-recognition of the
Confederate States will ba a war lasting for years,
carried on by the invaders in a barbarous manner,
disgraceful to humanity and Christianity, the con-
tinued starving of the operatives of Lancashire and
Lyons, and the injury of Europe as well as of the
belligerents. Why does England not recognise the
South ? Not from any feeling of right and
justice, but from the cowering of Earl Russell to
the braggadocio of the North and his pandering to
the Bright and Cobden party at home—and that
after his own statement that the North are fighting
for empire and dominion.

That the Confederate States are united as one to
win their independence, we have ample proofs in
the fact of man, woman, and child being ready to
die for their country, and in Mr. Vallandigham's
address to the men of Ohio, that he did not meet a
single Unionist in the South. There was not the
same unanimity in France when Lord Palmerston
recognised the empire, which was right, as the
greater portion of France willed it, though Earl
Rus&ell dismissed him from the Foreign-office. for so
doing. In France there were Republicans, Orlean-
ists, and Legitimists. In the Confederate States
all are Confederates. Earl Russell recognised the
kingdom of Italy. Why, then, should not the
South meet with the same treatment? The English
people aro lovers of fair play, and cannot refuse to
our own flesh and blood what they have granted to
foreigners. X.Y.Z.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was a full average supply of foreign stock on cffer
in to-day's market;. but its general quality was inferior.
Sales progressed slowly, and prices had a drooping ten-
dency.

The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts were seasonably good, and the quality of most
breeds was prime. The attendanca of buyers was only nro.•
derate, hence the beef trade was in a sluggish state, at a
decline in the quotations, compared with last week, of 2d
per Blbs, and at which a clearance was not effected. The
top figure was 4s 8d per Sibs. The show of Irish and Scotch
beasts was limited.

We were again well supplied with sheep, and most breeds
camp to hand in good saleable condition. All breeds moved
off slowly; nevertheless, the prices current on this day
se'ennight were supported. The best Downs realised ds
per 81bs.

Lambs were in fair average supply and sluggish request,
at late rates—viz, from 5s to 63 per 81bs.

The show of calves was moderate, and the veal trade was
heavy, at late rates. Top price, 4s 6d per 81bs.
In pigs next to nothing was doing, at previous currencies.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire, we received 2,600 shorthorns ; from other parts of
England, 803 various breeds; from Scotland, 40 Scots and
crosses; and from Ireland 170 oxen and heifers.

became inebriated, and the prisoner seemed very anxious
about him and offered to remove his gold chain and watch

would not allow the prisoner to take care of his watch and
chain, and said, " I can take care of my own property." The
prisoner, however, persevered and took the watch nu d chain
from the prosecutor, who thought he had been robbed, and
said " Where is my watch ?'"The prisoner said, " Here'
it is—l'll take it home to your wife," and was allowed to
keep possession of the watch and :lain. The prisoner,

Extraordinary Drought at Aldershot Camp.

-
During.the past week Aldershot Camp has pre-
sented a strange spectacle. In consequence of an
extraordinary and unforeseen drought nearly the
whole of the military have been compelled to leave
the camp at Aldershot and proceed to Sandhurst,
-
of an abundant supply f
Woolmer, and other localities where theis to blessbeingobs
and horses. The permanent
g
tained for both men
barracks and huts are for a time almost depopu-
lated, and a quiet broods over the neighbourhood
such as has rarely been witnessed since Aldershot
a garrison town. The summer has been
and the reservoir at Bour-
unusual dryness,
ley, on
bonecea.
n:fewhich the camp principally depends for its
water, now fails to yield anything like an adequate
supply. During the past three weeks great economy
of water has been practised, and on Saturday an
order was issued by
which all the bath rooms, both
in the barracks
of fire, and in the South camp, have been
closed. The whole of the supply, except in cases
has also been cut off between the hours of
9 p.m. and 5 p.m. The cavalry barracks have
been singularly deficieet in water for some time
Past, and the horses in many instances have been
compelled to be watered at a distance of upwards of
a mile from their stables. The water in the reser-
voir at Bourley has become so low that at the pre-
sent time it is under the minimum quantity deemed
necessary in case of fire. It is under these circum-
stances that the strength of the camp has under
gone so great a diminution. The regiments which.
left Aldershot last week, and proceeded to Wool..
mer, under the command of Major-General Rue-
sell, will, instead of returning to the camp,
as was originally intended, remain in their
present cantonments until further orders.
On Thursday the 13th Hussars and a battalion
of the Royal Artillery left the camp to join
the force already at Woolmer, and on Saturday last
a large body of soldiers, consisting of the Ist Royal
Dragoons, the 69th Regiment, the 13th Regiment,
and the 87th Regiment, with detachments of the
Military Train, the Royal Engineers, and the Com-
missariat Staff Corps were detached from the Alder-
shot division, and proceeded, under the command of
Brigadier-General Bates, commanding the 2d Royal
Brigade, to Sandhurst, where they will remain en-
camped until a sufficient supply of water can be ob-
tained at Aldershot. The force at the camp has thus
been greatly diminished, and the place presents
more the appearance of what might be expected
in time of war than of peace. During the week the
uFfuosri I ile Ipswich. wich. It is Guards for

this circumstance,
which may occur again under the present arrange-
ment at any similar period of drought, has brought
the question of obtaining water from other sources

Departure of the Queen for Germany,

Her Majesty's steam yacht Fairy, Master Com-
mander D. Welch, arrived off the dockyard, Wool-
wich, on Saturday, under special orders to the
Commodore Superintendent, Sir Frederick Nicolson,
and commenced coaling from the Hebe hulk. The
Fairy will go down to the Arsenal this morning,
and berth alongside the T pier, where the arrange-
ments have been completed in anticipation of the
arrival of her Majesty and the royal family for em-
bareation at low tido to-morrow evening, at 5 o'clock,
as originally intended. The Queen has expressed
her desire to take her departure under the strictest
privacy and seclusion, consequently all applications
for admission to the Arsenal to witness the ember-
cation have been rejected. Orders have been issued
by the heads of departments, instructing the police
to arrest any persons belonging to the establishment
or otherwise who may be found loitering in or
about the thoroughfares during the time appointed
for, the Queen's arrival. The clerks and others
occupying offices in the vicinity of the avenues lead-
ing to the pier are also warned not to approach the
windows. The orders are to be enforced under pain
of summary dismissal, and as any breach of the in-
structions is ordered to be rigorously dealt with, it
has been suggested by the departments that the
gates of the establishment shall be closed for the
day at 1 p.m. The proposition to that effect is now
under the consideration of the Secretary of State
for War, and will not probably be issued to-day.
A half-holyday, moreover, is usually granted on
such occasions, and is, therefore, not without prece-
dent. The only persons who, it is stated, will be
in attendance on thedeparture of the Sovereign will
be Viscount Sydney, Lord Lieutenant of the county;
Col. Sir David Wood, acting Commandant at Wool-
wich ; Sir F. Nicolson, Commodore of the port; and

Extraordinary Drought at Aldershot Camp.

---
During the past week Aldershot Camp has pre-
sented a strange spectacle. In consequence of an
extraordinary and unforeseen drought nearly the
whole of the military have been compelled to leave
the camp at Aldershot and proceed to Sandhurst,
Woolmer, and other localities where the blessings
of an abundant supply of good Water is to be ob-
tained for both men and horses. The permanent
barracks and huts are for a time almost depopu-
lated, and a quiet broods over the neighbourhood
such as has rarely been witnessed since Aldershot
became a garrison town. The summer has been
one of unusual dryness, and the reservoir at Bonr-
ley, on which the camp principally depends for its
water, now fails to
yield anything like an adequate
supply. During the
past three weeks great economy
of water has been practised, and on Saturday an
order was issued by which all the bath rooms, both.
in the barracks and in the South camp, have been
closed. The whole of the supply, except in cases
of fire, has also been cut off betvfeen tho hours of
9 p.m. and 5 p.m. The cavalry barracks have
been singularly deficieet in water for some time
past, and the horses in many instances have been
compelled to be watered at a distance of upwards of
a mile from their stables. The water in the reser-
voir at Bouncy has become so low that at the pre-
sent time it is under the minimum quantity deemed
necessary in case of fire. It is under these circum-
stances that the strength of the camp has under-.
gone so great a diminution. The regiments which
left Aldershot last week, and proceeded to Wool-
mer, under the command of Major-General Rue-
sell, will, instead of returning to the camp,
as was originally intended, remain in their
present cantonments until further orders.
On Thursday the 13th Hussars and a battalion
of the Royal Artillery left the camp to join
the force already at Woolmer, and on Saturday last
a large body of soldiers, consisting of the Ist Royal
Dragoons, the 59th Regiment, the 13th Regiment,
and the 87th Regiment, with detachments of the
Military Train, the Royal Engineers, and the Com-
missariat Staff Corps were detached from the Alder-
shot division, and proceeded, under the command of
Brigadier-General Bates, commanding the 2d Royal
Brigade, to Sandhurst, where they will remain en-
camped until a sufficient supply of water can be ob.

ob-
taiued at Aldershot. The force at the camp has thus

more the appearance of what
in time of war than of peace. Durinz
12th Lancers have left the camp for Kensington and
Hounslow, the Ist battalion Fusilier Guards for
London, and the 18th Hussars for Ipswich. It is
hoped that a heavy fall of rain will shortly relieve
the soldiers quartered here at Aldershot of the dis-
agreeable necessity of encamping out for an indefinite
period, but at the same time this circumstance,
which may occur again under the present arrange-
ment at any similar period of drought, has brouert
the question of obtaining water from other sources
under the consideration of the authorities.

that Sir George Grey had tendered the resignation of the
Government of New Zealand unless more troops were sent

Mr. C. FORTESCUE replied to both questions in the
negative.

Sir G. BOWYER asked the President of the Board of
Trade whether the attention of Government had been di..

polis on buildings in the neighbourhood of the lines ; and

consideration 2

Mr. BAXTER asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer

Government had been apprised of any proposal on the part

but Liverpool or some other English port, the point of the

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that
the papers would be laid on the table of the house this even-
ing. The Government had received no official notification
of the change of plan referred to.
