AN ALEXANDRA IN SAN FRANCISCO,

(From the times Correspondent.)

SAN FRANCISCO, March 16.
The authorities seized a vessel in this port yester-
day, on the allegation that she was about to engage
i❑ privateering under the Confederate flag.
The vessel seized is an American schooner, called
the J. M. Chapman, which arrived in this port
several weeks ago from Valparaiso, with a cargo of
beans shipped at the latter port for the San Fran-
cisco market. Her captain sold her here to the
parties who have fitted her out. lam informed that
for some time back gunpowder a; :d other materials
of war have been shipped privately at San Francisco
and sent down the coast to a point, it is supposed, in
Lower California, where the I. M. Chapman intended
to take them on board, preparatory to her entering
upon her alleged career of privateering. As she is
a sailing vessel, and would not be likely to chase a
steamer with much prospect of success, it is sup-
posed the intention was to lie in wait for one of the
California steamers en route to Panama with tree-
Cure, to capture the steamer, and to convert the
latter into a privateer or Confederate cruiser, and
then prey on the commerce of the Pacific Ocean
between San Francisco, Panama, &c.
It is not yet ascertained what character the J.
M. Chapman was to assume—whether that of a
Confederate cruiser, under a commission from the
Southern President, or that of a privateer under let
ters of marque—the former most probably.
You will find it stated that any prizes to be taken
would be sent to Victoria, Vancouver Island, to be
"disposed of." This assertion is entirely gratuitous.
Victoria is the last place at which such property
could be disposed of—the most unlikely place,
within three days' steaming of an American man-
or-war from San Francisco, to carry prize pr perry
to. The nesumption is grounded on a story (which
I contradicted some time back) that an effort had
been made to fir out a Confederate privateer in
Victoria. I have been informed to-day that mea•
' sures have been in progress for nearly a year in
San Francisco to get up such an expedition as
would capture one or more of the treasure steamers,
and that the parties therein engaged put the story
of the'' Victoria privateer" in circulation while they
were maturing their plans in San Francisco, with
the view of deceiving the authorities here and draw-
ing off their attention from the proceedings going
on at this i ort.

Notwithstanding the fuss made about the seizure
of the J. M. Chapman, most persons are of opinion
that the evidence vi ill not be sufficient to condemn
her. Her seizure will, however, prevent the suc-
cess of any similar attempt in future, I have no
doubt ; and I send this letter at once, without wait-
ing for the regul•+r mail steamer, so that its publi-
cation may allay the fears of parties in Europe in•
terested in the Californian treasure shipments. That
the obj,ct of this vessel was to capture one of the
steamers, arm her with Dahlgren gun,, and than
attempt the capture of other American vessels, I

am informed there can be no doubt of; but I re-
peat that now there is no chance of any such mis-
fortune occurring by means of an expedition to be
fitted out in San Francisco.

NARROW ESCAPE OF TWO PASSENGER TRAINS.

—On Friday, between eight and nine o'clock, a
soldier belonging to the 77th Regiment, stationed at Til-
bury Fort, and who was drunk, went into the watchman's
box at the railway crossing on the Milton-road, and, with-
out provocation whatever, struck the watchman (who is a
cripple) with his belt, inflicting a severe wound on the
side of his head. He then took possession of the boggy '

Yesterday their Royal Highnesses the Prince of
Wales, Prince Alfred, the Dike of Cambridge, and
Prince Louis of Hesee, accompanied by their Grand
Ducal Highnesses Prince Alexander and Prince
Henry of Hesse, attended by Lieut.-Gen. Knollys,
Captain Grey, Mejor Cowell, Captain Westerweiler,
and Baron de Rotsmann, visited the camp at Alder-
shot, and were present at a grand review of the
whole of the troops.
Ten o'clock was the hour appointed for the re-
view, but some time previously the troops were
under arms, and seen moving in glittering pic•
turesque masses to the arid tract of the Long Val-
ley. There General Pennefather appeared deter.
mined to make the most of his comparatively small
army—certainly not more than 8,000 or 9,ooo—and
drew it up in lines of brigades, infantry in front
and cavalry in rear, the artillery, engineers, and
military train being disposed of on both flanks of
the infantry.
The royal party arrived on the ground shortly
after ten o'clock, and were received by the troops
with the royal salute, the bandsplaying the National
Anthem. The troops were then inspected by the
royal visitors, who passed up and down the lines in
succession, the bands meanwhile playing the
Danish National Anthem and various regimental
airs. The Long Valley presented an appearance
which baffles description. At the best of times a
deeert, unredeemed by a single blade of herbage, it
looks inhospitable and dreary, but on this occasion
a fierce wind wee blowing, and clouds of white,
impalpable sand were driving across its whole ex-
panse. This was an enemy against which no
generalship could prevail, and it was met most
courageously by the royal party and the assembled
spectators as a visitation inseparable from a review
at Aldershot; and so the inspection proceeded, the
bands playing gaily as if defying the dust-clouds
enveloping them, and the royal visitors not appear-
ing to heed the subtle foe, although they must have
been painfully conscious of its all-pervading
presence. The inspection over, the interest of the
day centred in the field movements which were
expected to take place, and which would doubtless
have been of a most interesting character but for
another vicissitude of campaigning which proved
most inopportune. Spectators were moved a con-
siderable distance on to a heath, fringed with
golden gorse in full bloom, and having a picturesque
background of wooded hills. Here they were free
from the annoyance of sand-storms, and here it was
expected the marching past would take place. All
present were, therefore, rejoicing in the selec`ion
of the position, when a shower, which had given
several premonitory tokens of its approach, de-
scended in full force, and continued until troops and
visitors had experienced enough of its effects to
make them wish for an order of retreat.
The order " of retreat" did not, however, come,
but for advance; and on the spectators retracing
their steps to their original position, it was found
that the rain had sufficiently allayed the dust to
allow of the march past taking place there, and this
it was feared would conclude the review, as another
storm appeared approaching. The marching past
comnienced under a clear blue sky, but the heavy
clouds in the south-west broke after the cavalry
brigade and one infantry brigade had passed the
saluting point, when rain and hail, in a furious
storm, burst overhead—this time with such violence
as fairly to drive every one before it; and here the
review ended—for princes and genera's, and whole
regiments, equestrians, and pedestrians, beat a
precipitate retreat, fairly beaten by an enemy more
relentless than the dust. In mingled and picturesque
masses the whole assemblage dispersed in very
different order and condition to that in which they
had taken the field.

CHURCH RATES ABOLITION BILL.
Sir J. TRELAWNY moved the second reading of this
bill. He regretted the absence of the right hon. gentle-
man the member for North Wiltshire (Mr. S. Estcourt)
from ill health, who had proposed a bill with a view of ef-
fecting a compromise on this important matter. Parliament
had virtually given its assent to the repeal of church-rates,
and it w a high time that some satisfactory settlement was
arrived at. In 1861, it would be recollected that the bill
for the total abolition of church-rates was only lost
by a mejority of one, and that the veto of the right hen.
gentleman in the chair. Strictly speaking, church rates
were th, mosquitos of the Church of England, for they
were a perennial source of irritation. He disclaimed any
intention to injure the Church or to separate it from the
State. He had done all he could to bring about a substan-
tial compromise, but he regretted his endeavours in this
direction had not received very liberal support. He con-
fessed he could not understand the language and policy of
the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the subject of church
rates. The right hon. gentleman advocated civil and re-
ligious liberty in all church matters, but nevertheless
he did novoto either way in connection with the abolition
of church itates. (Hear, hear.) Ile trusted the right hon
gentleman would explain his conduct. He hoped hon.
members would cease to make this subject a stalking horse
for their personal aggratdisetnent or ambition, and proceed
at once and finally to a settlement of a matter which had re- ;
mained open and unsettled too long, Strictly speaking, the
church was the church of the people, and in most churches
a certain number of seats were set apart for those who were
unable to pay for seats, but in some cases, as in Manchester,
some of those seats have been let, and it could hardly be
expected that in such ci.cumstane-2s people would pay church
rates with good feeling. He was at a loss to understand
the grounds on which the hon. gentleman opposite
(Mr. G. Hardy) proposed to meet his bill with a
direct negative, without offeri g any substantial amend-
ment. Now was the time for those on the other side to
accept the olive leaf, and at one • to come to a defi.,ite un-
derstanding on the matter. Those who now opposed a
settlement would have to answer for their conduct at the
hustings.
Sir C. DOUGLAS seconded the motion.
Mr. G. HARDY rose to move as an amendment that
this bill be read a second time that day six mouths. He
should leave the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, whose mind was certainly undergoing some
extraordinary changes, to explain his conduct with respect to
church rates, (Laughter.) H held that in no case were
church rates unjust; they had been levied for 1,000 years,
and with the consent of the owners of the land But for them
we should not probably be enjoying the blessings of religion,
nor the ben, fits of education, for it must never be forgotten
that the Church fostered and popularised the art of printing.
The bill proposed to take away a quarter of a million easily
collected, and indispensable r maintenance-of the fabrics
and their pastors. LetDi&enters leave the Church alone, for
voluntaryism was defined by one of its chief supporters as
the principle of non-interference with Church or State--
and strive to emulate her in good works. (Hear, hear,)
The supporters of voluntarism belied and vitiated their
principles in sending up petitions, until the table groaned
with them, asking the Sate to interfere with the observance
of the Sabbath, bnt they would not allow the slightest in-
terference with themselves. (Hear, hear.) The beat
argument in favour of the retention of Church-rates was
that they were maintained in the large towns with which
the supporters of this bill were connected, (Hear, hear.)
And he therefore charged those who supported the bill tik:
thus acting inconsistently. The hon, baronet appealed to
the decisions of two Parliaments on these rates, but it muse
not be forgotten that the present Parliament had
agreed, by resolution, that these ancient rules ought not to
be abrogatsd until a remedy w -re devised in the nature of
a substitute. To be consistent the house should reject this
bill, (Hear, hear.) Those who supported this bill con-
sidered that the Church ought not to 'be maintained in con-
nection with the State; those who opposed it entertained a
diametrically opposite opinion : hence there could be no
compromise on account of this diversity of their sentiments.
The abolitionists could give them nothing in return; they
proposed to take the oyster and give the Church the shcA•
