"THE GHOST CLUB" at the
CANTERBURY HALL. New and Interesting
Spectral Tableaux.—Mr. C. MORTON is enabled to announce
that, through the medium of Professor Pepper's World of
Shadows, a "GHOST CLUB" is n.ghtly held at the CAN—
TERBURY HALL. The object of the Club is not there-
peopling of the Haunted Houses of London ; but, through
the agency of Phantoms, to present vivid (if transient)
pictures of the drama of real life, both in its serious
and mirthful aspects ; and, by means of spectral tableaux,
to recall, and still further impress on the mind, some
of the teachings or pleasantries of the best writers. At pre-
sent, the two orders of Slavery—the Slavery of the South,
and the " White" Slavery of a more boastful civilisation,
receive emphatic illustration ; and these life pictures will be
rapidly replan eI by others. The pages of Shakspere and the
eller Dramatists, of Scott, Hood, Ingoldsby, Dickens, Sic.,
wi I. in turns, furnish subjects for illustration.
All the other Musical and Pictorial attractions as usual,
including Operatic Selections, &c. ; Comedy by Unsworth
(the modern Demosthenes), Eugene, George Hodson, E.

ginia. The month of October had been spoken of as I
likely to witness some remarkable events in the
grand contest of the Federal army at Chattanooga
with the forces of Gen. Bragg, but nothing of im-
portance has taken place, although the expectation
of some great passage of arms still prevails. "Nhe-
ther anything will be attempted will depend on the
state of the weather, and judging with the expe-
rience of the past two years to guide us, we may say
that it is most likely the two armies will remain
nearly as they are until the return of spring. In-
deed, this is almost the best that can be anticipated
by the Federals. Troops are being hurried up by
Gen. Grant, not to proceed with the invasion of
Georgia, but to defend the Federal communications.
It is success for them to hold their earthworks at
Chattanooga, to prevent the Confederate cavalry
pouncing on their trains and reducing them to ex-
tremities for want of supplies, The success of Hooker
on the 28th seems, if true, to be unimportant, for
the Confederates still hold the west bank of Lookout
Creek, and the situation of the two armies remains
unchanged. If, then, Gen. Grant can do as much
as Gen. Rosencrana, and maintain his position
daring the winter at Chattanooga, he may be con-
sidered as having aehieved•all that the Federals can
hope for. President Davis speaks confidently at
Mobile that he will be unable to do this. The
Southern statesman declares that Grant will be
beaten and driven northward out of Tennessee.
Allowing for oratorical exaggeration, it may be
presumed that Mr. Davis thinks tie chances
in the Tennessee campaign are in favour of
the Confederates. We may give credence to his
assertions, since they coincide sufficiently with
the correspondence from the Federal camp and the
general tone of the North respecting the state of
affairs. There is such a remarkable agreement that
things are critical, such an absence of the usual
prophecies of speedy victory, that we may be sure
the danger to the Federal army is real and obvious.
The best that can happen to the invaders is to be
spared an ignominious and ruinous retreat. The
Army of the Potomac appears to be almost forgot-
ten. This celebrated force, consisting of veterans
hardened by three years of war, and foamed from
the volunteers and conscripts of the highly civilised
Eastern States, is now of smaller account than the
rough levies which are operating in the Far West.
Since their retreat before Gen. Lee they have been
engaged in reconstructing the railway, and it is
probable that they will have no more active employ-
ment during the winter and spring. Their num-
bers have fallen off in a manner most extraordinary,
considering the imrortance of the Potomac Army
in the eyes of the Federal Government, the large
reinforcements continually added to it, and the rigour
with which desertion has been lately punished. It

Within a few minutes of the time set down tha numbers
of the nine runners were exhibited on the telegraph,the last
to roach the starter being Blithfield, who, as usual, exhi-
bited some temper, and was led down with a leading rein,
from which he was no sooner released than he broke away,
and ran some distance before French and the head lad
could persuade him to join his horses. At the second
attempt Mr. Marshall effected a capital start, in which Bal-
ham, next the rails on the far side, obtained a slight ad-
vantage, with the others lying in a cluster at his hecls,with
the exception of Laertes, who refused to move, and was
left some distance in their rear. Passing the stand Nebula
held a clear lead of Balham, whose immediate followers
were the favourite, Golden Pledge, and Fairwater, succeeded
by Blithfield, Somersault, and Laertes, but on rounding the
stable turn the leader ran out, which left Mr. Morris's horse
with a clear lead, closely attended by Golden Pledge, Fair-
water, and Blithfield, at whose girths came Somersault.

is probable that Gen. Meade has not now under his
command more than 60,000 troops ; with these he
can do no more than defend Washington against
the eminent commander opposed to him. The fall

in popular esteem of this portion of the Republican
forces is complete. It is hardly mentioned by the
American press. All the speculations and predic-
tions are reserved for the armies of Grant or Banks.
Indeed, the invasion of Virginia seems now to be
given up entirely. If the South is to be conquered,
the Federal armies must penetrate its huge terri-
tory in some other quarter. Hence the great efforts
to reinforce the Tennessee army and to give it an
efficient general. It is most probable that not even
next year will an attempt be again made to reach
Richmond, but it is quite certain that this year
nothing will be done. The weather and the soil
in Virginia will now bo an effectual obstacle to
an advance. The only military event at a later
period last year was the crushing defeat of
Burnside at Fredericksburg, and the expe-
rience of that short campaign serves to show
that not even if the Northern general had been
victorious could he have made much progress at
such a season. At New Orleans there are rumours
of expeditions, and there are predictions of great
deeds, but so there have been for months, and little
progress has been made. The scheme of conquer-
ing Texas is more easily conceived than executed.
The Federal troops can hardly hold down the coun-
try in the neighbourhood of the Mississippi, though
its social organisation, with large properties and a
great number of slaves, makes it less able to carry
on a warfare of resistance than most parts of the
Southern States. But to overrun Texas, a country
of vast extent and inhabited by a vigorous popula-
tion, will bo a far more vigorous task. It is reported
that an expedition will land on the Texan coast,

and be commanded by General Banks, and that ii
will form a junction with Franklin, who is ad.
vancing by Opelousa. But it can hardly be sup.
posed that ithese forces will do more, even if sue
cessful, than occupy some isolated points of that
vast region, leaving it practically as much in the
hands of its Southern inhabitants as before. But
it is also quite prebable that the expedition will
come to nothing. The number of troops that can
be spared is not large, since
the mercy of guerillas, who
even as it is the traffic
on the Mississippi is h
fire on the passing
lesvessels,rt and General Grant must
I
be weakening the ern armies by the forces ho
is said to be taking to Chattanooga. Such, then, is
the state of affairs at the end of 1863. We may ask
what has been the result of this year's slaughter.
The Federals have suffered a great defeat under
Hooker, and they have saved their capital by a
desperate battle under General Meade. They have
taken Vicksburg and Port Hudson, in which Pre-
sident Davis, with a strategy which was criticised
at the time, and is now generally condemned, shut
up large bodies of Confederate troops. But with
these successes the advantages of the Federals cease.

Southern Government to place in the field larger
armies than have ever before confronted the invader.
At the same time, the effect on the negro popula-
tion has been very small at every point where Fede-

lowers, and prepare another expedition. Tho Tringana
chief was warned to give him up, or send him away, and
complaint was at the same time made to Siam. The nuisance,
however, was not removed, and, in despair of having it
otherwise remedied, an officer of the Singapore Government
was sent in a ship of war to Tringana to insist on immediate
redress ; failing to obtain it, the ship bombarded the fort,
and caused it to be evacuated. This independent action for
mischief is an incident common with the feudatories, and
even public officers, of all the great States and empires of
the East, and it hasoften happened there that we have been

along the bottom ground with a clear lead. The favourite
was seen to get nearer at every stride as they approached
the turn into the straight, and as they neared the distance
Balham gave evidence of defeat; Fairwater at the same
time took a slight lead of Golden Pledge, and the pair in a
few strides further were joined by Blithfield. Between
these three a slashing race ensued. At the stand Blithfield
obtained a slight advantage, which he retained to the end,
and won by a short head, Golden Pledge defeating Fair-
water by a like distance for second place; Somersault
finished fourth, four lengths in the rear, with Sea King at
his girths, Balham, whom they passed at the Stand, being
next, with the favourite close up ; the others were beaten
off a long way.

[ADVERTISERENT,I—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills
Bad breasts, ulcers, abscesses, wounds, and sores of 'all
kinds may be thoroughly healed by the application of this
Ointment to the parts affected, after they have been duly
fomented with warm water. The discharge should not be
checked at once, but rather encouraged, for such sudden
check must of course be always dangerous. Nature is the
noblest of physicians and must not be opposed, but
seconded. All sores are, for a time, the safety valves of
the constitution, and should not be closed or healed until
they assume a healthier character. Under the action of
this powerful Ointment, together with the Pills, the de-
praved humours of the body will be quickly removed.

compelled to seek atonement, and to inflict punishment
upon chiefs and local authorities, instead of following the
course, universal in Europe, of holding the general Govern-
ment answerable for all that is done in any part of a large
kingdom. We have just now followed this course in Japan,
and the bombardment of the fort and place of residence of
the Prince of Satsuma must be looked upon as an ordinary
and necessary expedient of the policy we are compelled to
observe with these Asiatic nations. It is by no means
a new thing in our dealings with sovereignties
contiguous to Japan. For instance, in our first
quarrels with China, we acted against the Gover-
nor of Canton, whore measures were the offence of
which we complained, and we hoped by that means to obtain
the redress we sought. We have now concluded a treaty
with Japan which gives us the right of intercourse with
the population, and of travel on its highways. Some of the
feudal chiefs of Japan were opposed to the policy of this
treaty, and they have shown a determination to prevent
European foreigners from reaping benefit from it, Among
these the Prince of Satsuma is the most powerful and vio-
lent. The Chiefs, or Daimios, move from place to place
with a large retinue of armed followers; they insist upon
having the roads cleared for them, and their retinue attack
and ill-treat all who don't get out of the way, even though
they have to take refuge in a ditch by the roadside. The
prince of Satsuma, with his retinue, encountered in this
way a party of Europeans on the high road. The latter
were ill-treated, and Mr. Richardson was killed; the rest,

shown of the
itself
'ready to give a money atonement, but has betrayed, indeed
has almost avowed, its utter inability to inflict any punish-
ment upon a Prince so powerful as the Dairaio of Satsuma,
or upon his followers. The Prince, in the meantime know-
ing that the outrage would not be allowed to pass with un-
punity, made separate and independent preparations for de-
fence and for war ; he built batteries and bought steamers,
cast guns and tiained artillerymen, evidently taking upon
himself a part hostile not only to Europeans, but to the
policy of the Government with which they are in peaceful
relation. Can anybody doubt for one moment that the
time had arrived for seeking reparation for the offence com-
mitted, not from the Tycoon's Government, but from the
individual offender, whose residence and prepared fortress,
being on the seacoast, were within our reaeh. It was under
these circumstances that the British diplomatic officers
placed the affair in the hands of the naval officer in command,
and he proceeded with a squadron to Kagosima. He captured
and destroyed three steamers and a fleet of war junks,
silenced the Prince's batteries, and destroyed his fortified
residence. If the enterprise had ended here, not a word
could be said against it by any one; but, unfortunately, in'
carrying out this operation, the town was also set in flames,
and the houses of many peaceable inhabitants were
destroyed. If the houses destroyed were those only
of the retainers and military establishment of the Chief, or
of the two-sworded bravos that attended him on his jour-
neys, not a word could be said against it; for the murderers
of Mr. Richardson were of this class, and that was the out-
rage which the squadron was sent to punish. But the town
destroyed is said to be populous and of considerable size,
and doubtless many peaceable citizens were ruined by the
evils brought upon them by the hostile attitude and con-
duct of this feudal Prince. We regret this, and doubt net
that the destruction of the houses of such non-belligerents
was no part of the original intention ; we assume it to have
been unavoidable from the position of the batteries, and
close contact of the city with the Prince's residence, It
would have been impossible for the naval commander to have
allowed the purpose of the enterprise to be defeated, and the
offending Daimio and his retinue to escape with impunity,
because they could not be reached

likely that our diplomatists in Japan would be blind to the
expediency, on every ground of policy, of separating the
peaceable inhabitants and general population of Japan from
the insolent and overbearing Daimios and feudal chiefs from
whom only foreigners have received indications of ill-feeling
and ill-treatment; and therefore it is that we take it for
granted that they as much regret the burning of the town
and shops of peaceable traders as Mr. Cobden himself, and
his associates of the Peace Convention. The fact, however,
would be justifiable, as we have heretofore maintained, even
if it were intentional. But it is with reference to the future
that we should have preferred to see the town spared, if it
could have been so ; for it must be our object, in all dealings
with a nation circumstanced like that of Japan, to make
manifest the difference between our method of war and the
indiscriminate slaughter which characterises the operations
of an Asiatic army. We did this effectually, and with sin-
gular benefit, to the operations undertaken in our late war
with China, and it is not likely that the lessons of that war
will have been so soon forgotten.

THE ARMY.

In consequence of the room originally prepared for the
court-martial on Lieut.-Col. Crawley at the Clubhouse,
Aldershot, having been found too small to meet the require-
ments of the Court, the large room in the same building,
hitherto used for balls and theatrical entertainments, is now
being rapidly fitted up for the purpose. The floor has been
covered with cocoanut matting, and the whole preparations
will be completed by noon this day. The room, which is 78
feet long and 30 feet wide, will be far more suitable to the
purposes of the Court and the accommoLtion of the public.
A suite of rooms, leading from the Courtroom, is being
fitted up for the Judge Advocate-General, the witnesses,
and other persons in attendance, Two-thirdsof the space
will be apportioned to the Court and the renia:ndcr to the
public. Mr. Denman, Q.C., counsel for Colonel Crawley,
was at Aldershot on Thursday and examined nearl3' 40 wit-
nesses in the case.

The Pitmen's Strike in the North.

The result of a conference between Mr. Love and a de-
putation of his own workmen was stated in 21te Sun of
Saturday last, and an opinion was expressed that as the
members of the deputation were fully satisfierl with the
temns proposed the strike would in all probability imme-
diately cease. When the question, however, came' to bo
referred to the Union delegates, to whom Mr. Love has a
great a version, and with whom he will hold no correspon-
dence, a farther complication of matters ensued, and the.
termination' of the strike seems now to be as distant as ,ever
One of the paid delegates, an Irishman named Peter Dly.le,
has accused tITO members of the deputation of haWng
accepted a bribe from Mr. Love—the fact being that thk 'Y
merely partook of refreshments at his expense—and, frocl,
the warmth of languaje which has been used by some OA
the paid agitators, it is 22. fore than suspected that they have
no very cordial desire to bring these unfortunate dif-
ferences between masters anti men to a close. The mastorti
to the demon,.
have acceded - 1 to substitute weight for
to allow the pitmen to have a man of their own,
upon the pit heap to check the weia•hman in the employ of
the colliery owners, to pay for all o ver-weight, and not
to confiscate any tub which is within 561 b. of what may

and machinery would be the same for light as for
heavy ones, a serious loss would be entailed upon them if
the weight of the tubs should fall short of a
recognised standard. What that standard shall be ~cem°
now to be the main point in dispute. The men 'as.sert
that before the strike their tubs were entirely confiscated' if
they fell short of a fixed standard, a standard so high tht‘t
the required quantity of coals could not be got into thorn
without rocking and jolting the tubs, in order to solidify the
mass, and then filling them up again. The masters are rn iA
willing to accept as the standard the average of six Lula
filled in the workings without rocking, and the men demand.
as the standard the weight of a tub filled " wood-full " on
the pit heap. This the masters decline to accede to, inas-
much as they allege it would practically amount to an in-
crease of wages to the extent of 9d per score tubs, and this
is an advance which, in the present state of the coal trade,,
they d o not feel themselves justified in giving. At the begin-
ning of the week the men belonging to the Brandon Colliery
expressed their willingness to go to work on the terms pro-
posed by the masters, but as the men of the other pits desire
them to hold out and assist them in securing their demands,
they still remain on strike. The men connected with the
Bitchburn and Houghall collieries,also belonging to Messrs.
Straker and Love, have this week struck work. They have
not yet issued any manifesto of their grievances, but it is
understood that they are similar in character to those which
have been announced by the men belonging to the Sunny-
brow, Brancepeth, and Brandon collieries. For some time
past the men at Bitchburn Colliery have been on what is
termed the restrictive system"—a system dictated by the
agents of the Union with the avowed objectof raising wages
by limiting the supply of coal. Though able to earn front
from 4s to 5s per day of eight hours, the men have for some
time past been voluntarily restricting their labours. Re-
ccrtly they restricted their labours to 2s Gd per day, then to
Is 3d per day each, afterwards to one tub per day each, and.
on Wednesday morning they ceased work altogether. In
other collieries the same species of restriction is being carried
on to a greater or less extent, and at nearly the whole of
the pita in this neighbourhood there is an under current of
disaffection at work, produced by the machinations of the
paid agents of the Union. On Thursday a procession of
from 600 to 700 of the miners on strike visited Houghall
and Shincliffe collieries, near the city of Durham. They
held an open-air meeting and numerous harangues were
delivered, but the Shincliffe men declined to fraternise
with them or acknowledge them in any way. Yester-
day and the day before a number of the families of the pit-
men on strike at Spennymoor Colliery, in the county of
Durham, belonging to the West Hartlepool Railway Com-
pany, were evicted from their cottages. Down to Thursday
night OS families had been evicted. The strike at this col-
' fiery has been going on some weeks. It is directed mainly
against an obnoxious overman, named Ralph Parker, whom
the masters will not discharge.
