We take the following interesting
from the Sydney Morning Herald:—" On . ler- J
day, the 12th inst., I left Launceston in the Lady
Denison. For several days we were baffled by head
winds, and on Thursday, the 17th, we had only
reached lat. 38 min. 30 sec., long. 149 min. 50 see
E. This day was an eventful one to us; for, not;
to speak of several flying fish that sprang on board,
and an enormous sword fish that showed himself
several times near our vessel, we witnessed a sight
granted to but few. About 12 o'clock a waterspout
appeared in the distance, not near enough to cause
apprehension. A few hours after, however, an im-

and what will your readers say when I inform them
that we tacked round to almost every point of the
compass, and that the fearful thing followed us at
every turn, until we succeeded in clearing it by
tacking to the S.S.W. ? On the very instant of our
success, the man at the wheel sang out, ' Another
on the weather quarter, sir ;' and there was another,
equally large, fierce, and speedy, which_passed near
our stern. Immediately after was heard, ' Another
on the weather beam, sir !' We cleared that, and.
then ' Another on the weather bow, sir !' was
shouted by the steersman. In brief, nine water-
spouts passed close to us in 20 minutes, any one of
which would in a moment have sent us to the bot-
tom. Perhaps the most extraordinary thing yet
remains to be told. Each cauldron after passing us,
halted about half a mile off, and when the whirl
grew more dense the ' steam' was lifted higher, and
a tongue was let down from the clouds immediately
above, forming a regular ' hose,' so to speak, up
which the water went in immense quantities. The

77th Regiment, and Ensign C. M. Clarkson, of
the Indian army, and in medical charge of
Assistant-Surgeon R. C. Ramsay, formerly of the
13th Light Infantry. During the voyage three
solders and one child died on board. In
addition to the troops enumerated, 10 insane
soldiers were sent home in the Ellenborough, and
nine convicts under sentence of general court mar-
tial, five of that number having been dismissed
the service with ignominy. After the troops had
been medically inspected, 17 of their number were
admitted into Fort Pitt Hospital, Chatham, for
medical treatment. The Indian troops who have
completed their period of service were discharged
at Gravesend, and those fit for further duty were
forwarded to Woolwich, Colchester, and other mili-
tary stations to join their respective corps.

One of the greatest merits of Joseph Ceva Grimaldi
is that he always obeyed his own convictions with-
out wishing to impose them on others, and without
abusing the authority by using it in support of
them. Such a man offers an excuse to hatred. Of
irreproachable conduct, of an affable and gentle dis-
position, he courted none but friends, and his ad-
mirers were all those who read his books. He died
at an advanced age, with all the serenity of a good
conscience, calm, happy, surrounded by the care of
those dear to him, to whom he bequeathed a great
name, rendered still more illustrious by his learn•
ing, his probity, and his exalted virtues."

A grand review and field-day at Aldershot, probably the
last of the season, was held yesterday, in presence of his
Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, the Crown Prince
of Saxony, and the Prince of Orange, who were accompa-
nied by a son of the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz,
and by the members of their respective suites. The pro-
ceedings, which began at half-past nine o'clock, divided
themselves into two parts, the first consisting of a review
exclusively of the cavalry in camp, and the second of an in-
spection of the artillery and infantry brigades. The cavalry
force, about 2,500 in number, under the command of Lord
C. Paget, consisted of six regiments—the Life Guards, 6th
Dragoons, 13th Hussars, and 9th, 12th, and 16th Lancers.
They were drawn up in the Long-valley, with horse artil-
lery on either flank, and were passed in review by the Duke
of Cambridge. It rarely happens in the English service
that lancer regiments are quartered together in sufficient
numbers to form, as on this occasion, a brigade in' them-
selves. They generally constitute a feature additionally
picturesque from its exceptional character in the mass of
cavalry of the ordinary type. Seen in large bodies, how-
ever, their aspect is as striking as it is brilliant, and in the
distance the fluttering pennons give a height apparently
supernatural to the mounted figures. The cavalry divi-
sion massed at Aldershot yesterday was, for its numbers,
perhaps as splendid a display as could be witnessed in
any part of the world. The contrast of light and heavy
regiments was very effective, though where speed was
required there seemed but little variance between them.
The Life Guards may have been a shade less elastic
than the other squadrons, but in justice it must be re-
membered that their weighty accoutrements are ill-
adapted to the light friable soil of Aldershot, Seen on one
or other of the ridges which stretch across the plain,
the force presented almost a dazzling appearance. When
the rapid movements commenced the spectators saw little,
and it is to be questioned whether the actors saw much.
Clouds—aye, perfect simooms of dust arose, the colour
of which the artillery smoke affected,`, but was power-
less to add to its density. The cavalry brigades might
have changed their front twice over and the enemy would
not have been a particle wiser. Like Homer's heroes, though
the thunder of war went an, the combatants themselves
became invisible. Unlike them, however, it is doubtful
whether they came out of the cloud refreshed. If the con-
dition of their faces afforded any criterion, the reverse ap-
peared the more probable inference. The cavalry movements
ended with one crashing charge across the valley; and, after
some well-earned words of commendation from the Com-
mander-in-Chief, the different regiments returned to Camp.
The infantry division, meanwhile, had been drawn up on
the sloping ground above. His Royal Highness on reach-
ing this position was received with a general salute, and,
having passed along the front and rear of the line, crossed to
the saluting basis, and the troops began to march past. The
Artillery led, a company of Royal Engineers immediately
following. The first infantry division consisted of a batta-
lion of the Grenadier Guards, the sth, Bth, and 61st Regi-
ments. In the second brigade were the Ist (Royals), 20th,
26th (Cameronians), and 76th Regiments. The third bri-
gade included the 2d, 37th, 60th Rifles, and 64th Regi-
ments—the latter carrying the ensigns of modern issue,
exceedingly neat and tasteful when seen closely. Of these
different corps the Ist, 60th, and 61st especially distin-
guished themselves by their marching. But, making
every allowance for the nature of the ground, there was an
uneasiness and sinuosity about the front presented by some
of the others which could not have been satisfactory to the
officers in command. A troop of mounted Engineers
followed the infantry, bringing with them pontoons,
which had evidently seen service, :and carrying, guacho
fashion, coils of rope at their saddles. Three or four batta-
lions of the Military Train, with their useful, undersized
tent-waggons, closed the procession. The Artillery,it should
be stated, was not massed in a single division, but marched
past in batteries at the head of each brigade. Without loss
of time the troops were formed in order of battle, and
fought their way homewards to the Camp. The Rifles were
pushed out as skirmishers, and covered the front, while
the other regiments were drawn up in a double line, with the
artillery on either flank. The manoeuvres were of the or-
dinary character. The skirmishers were driven in under
cover of the first line, which then opened fired, was itself
checked and obliged to retire behind the second line, till,
having been reformed, it was enabled to resume the offen

The news from Chili is not very important. The
weather had been more than usually severe, com-
munication with Santiago required four days, and
even then was effected with considerable risk from
the swollen state of the rivers.

The weather in Chili was unusually severe. The
rivers had greatly swollen, causing considerable
damage to the bridges and earthworks on the
Southern Railroad. The Santiago lin e had not suffered
so much. Senor Perez, the president, had organised
a new Cabinet, under the leadership of Senor Don
M. A. Tocarnel, which is considered as a triumph
for the Liberal party. It is, however, feared
that it will be of short duration. The decimal me-
trical system will be enforced in all the custom
houses of the Republic from Jan. 1. Congress
opened on June 1. The floating dock at Valparaiso
was sunk on the 7th. The American schooner Ann
Eliza, whilst passing through the Straits of Magel-
lan, was attacked by some Terra del Fuego Indians
in canoes, who in a desperate endeavour to take the
vessel killed three of the crew. They were, how-
ever, finally repulsed, the captain shooting three
Indians with a revolver. Business in Chili was
dull. Exchange quoted 45d. per dol. Freight to
England was at 80s. to 858.

sive. The firing, with the exception of that of the 181
Royals and one or two other regiments, was not very credit•
able. There was, comparatively speaking, as much differ-

ence between the ensemble of the volleys as there would be
in volunteer regiments. But there were many points in
which the marked superiority of the regulars was evinced.
One of these was the total absence of that fidgettiness to
which volunteers are so prone, and another the facility with
which they handled their weapons. At the close of the
review the Commander-in-Chief proceeded to the North
Camp, where he spent some time in inspecting portions of
the regimental quarters. The distinguished circle by which
he was accompanied during the day included Lord Cardigan,
Lord Eversley, Sir John Pennefather, the general com-
manding at Aldershott, General Eyre, General Sir R. Airoy,
Colonel North, M.P., &c.

The elections in Peru terminated in favour of
General San Roman. The Consolidation Bonds
were selling at 87. The New English loan, 12 mil-
lions sterling, was confidently looked for by the
steamer arriving at Callao on Aug. 2. The Peru-
vian and Ecuadorian Governments agree upon
leaving the settlement of their difficulties to the
mediation of Great Britain. Exchange at Lima on
England was from 39d. to 40d. per dollar.
Much excitement still exists at Panama. The
governor had left the city for Santiago de Veraguas,
to which place he had temporarily removed the seat
of government. Business at Panama was suffering
severely, and families were flying from the city to
avoid the anticipated dangers.
The Court of Policy met at Demerara on the 3d.
Trade was dull, and business stagnant. The
weather was favourable for vegetation.
Business at Jamaica was dull, and money scarce.
Breadstuffs and native provisions were very dear.
The great bulk of the population were living upon
flour, corn-meal, and rice.

'CHOLY OCCURRENC.EAT DENNY

On the afternoon of Thursday last this town and neigh-
bourhood were thrown into a state of great excitement by
an accident of a most distressing character, whereby two
brothers, named respectively Thomas and Walter Pro, and
aged 12 and 6 years, met with a watery grave, and the life
of another (Arthur) was placed in almost imminent danger.
The Avon water, in which the boys were drowned, takes its
rise among the hills situated to the north-west of the parish
of Dunipace. Near to 300 yards below Herbertshire Print
Works, the Avon empties itself into the Carron, so that it
may be properly termed a tributary to that river. In ordi-
nary weather the Avon has the appearance of a small rivu-
let, but on occasions of heavy rains, such as that which was
experienced on the day in questicn, it comes down with
extraordinary impetuosity, and has been known to rise in a
very few hours to the height of four and five feet. It ap-
pears that about 4 o'clock in the afternoon several boys were
amusing themselves upon a channel bed on the banks of the
Avon. a little distance below the railway bridge, and that
their attention was unfortunately attracted to a quantity of
sticks which were being carried down the water, and that
Walter and Arthur Pro made an attempt to secure them.
In this it seems they were unsuccessful, and Walter (the
youngest), more determined than the others, waded
into the water after them, but had not gone far ere he
stumbled and fell headlong into the current. Arthur (who
is ten years of age), on observing this, bravely entered the
water for the purpose of rescuing his br3ther, but scarcely
had he ventured two yards when he was driven off his feet,
and swept after him whom he had risked his own life to
save. Both were carried down the stream for nearly forty
yards, where, happily, Arthur got hold of a tuft of grass,
aad brought himself to the edge, where he got out, not a
great deal the worse. In the meantime, the younger brother
was being fast swept onwards, and the boys who were
present were doing all they could to save him. Near to
the Planting Mill Bridge, the little fellow managed to get
hold of the stump of a tree, and a boy, named Hard, made
a dash to catch him, but he was only in time to see his
companion lose his hold, through sheer exhaustion, and
once more carried off in the bosom of the surging waters.
The eldest brother, on perceiving this, climbed a stone
wall, nearly six feet high, which intervened, and, on the
other side, plunged into the water after his brother, but
only to meet the same fate, as he was overturned, and both
disappeared speedily afterwards. One of the two boys who
witnessed the scene says that he saw them "tumbling
doon the water thegither," so that it is more than probable '
the one would seize the other, in which case it is con-
jectured that both would contribute to each other's
destruction, as is very often the case in instances similar
to the present. An alarm was instantly raised, and a
large concourse of persons collected, who at once adopted
measures for ascertaining the whereabouts of the two boys.
Guided in their explorations by the information which they
had received from the boys who had witnessed the affair,
they searched the eddies, minutely examined the edges of
the water where trees were growing, and indeed every spot
where it was conceived there would be the most remote
chance of obtaining a clue to their presence. Grapples
were procured and used, but without success. The search-
ing was continued with unabated exertions up to an ad-
vanced hour in the evening, but not the least thing was
discovered which in any way would tend to indicate the
whereabouts of the bodies. About ten o'clock the search
was discontinued, with the view of recommencing at an
early hour next morning. Accordingly, on Friday the
search was resumed—the Avon being first thoroughly in-
vestigated, and latterly the Carron. A little after nine in
the morning, the body of the younger boy was found in the
" inch," near Denovan Printworks, and fully a quarter of
a mile from the place where the accident occurred. It was
lying in a bush, and, so far as we can ascertain, there are

THE HORRIBLE MURDER OF A BOY AT

CHATHAM LINES.

Yesterday Robert Alexander Burton, 18, who
stands charged on his own confession with having
wilfully murdered Thomas Frederick Houghton, by
cutting his throat, on the afternoon of Wednesday
last, was placed at the bar before the Rev. J. Fram-
ley, county magistrate, at Rochester, by Mr.
Everest, superintendent of the Kent police, under
remand from Friday last.
The prisoner, who is a strong stout built youth,
with light hair and complexion, manifested the
utmost coolness, being apparently the least in-
terested person in the court. The moment the
doors were opened a rush of people of both
sexes, anxious to obtain a view of him, entered
the space devoted to the public, and created some
confusion for a short time, to the amusement of the
prisoner, who smiled and even laughed, until the
circumstance was observed, when he resumed
quickly a composed demeanour.
The prisoner had seated himself in the dock, and
upon being ordered to stand he rose with a military
attitude, which, no doubt was due to his training
in the militia, and stood in the position of attention.
Superintendent Everest said that he did not pro-
pose to take any further evidence: on the present
occasion, and it would be very desirable to have the
prisoner remanded to a future day, by which time
the case against him would be more complete.
The Magistrate—Well, prisoner what have you
to say why you should not be again remanded ?
Prisoner—l am not going to object. I have
nothing to object. You may remand me if you like.
Magistrate—Very well ; you stand remanded.
The prisoner was then removed from the dock,
apparently quite unconcerned.

RETIREMENT OF A CLERGYMAN PROM THE
Cutateu.—The Rev. C. Nevile, who has recently resigned
the incumbencies of Wickenby and ThorneY, in the diocese
of Lincoln, has published a lengthy statement, explaining
his reasons for taking that personally momentous step. It
appears that the rev. gentleman some time since informed
the Bishop of Lincoln that it was his intention to resign
his Church preferment at the close of this year. "The
present Prayer Book (says Mr. Nevile) represents the
exact state of religious knowledge in an age so barbarous

-DVERTISEMENT.I —Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
Giatifying Results.—The merest blotch upon the skin and
the deepest ulceration of the flesh yield to the detergent
and healing properties of this celebrated Ointment. Bad
legs, burns, eruptions of the skin, and scrofulous sores can
be cured with facility by the proper use of this Ointment,
aided by Holloway's purifying Pills. Under this treat-
ment the foulest ulcers become clean, and in a few days
florid granulations appear, which gradually grow and fill
up the cavity with firm and healthy flesh. No relapse
need be feared, since the sore is not slightly skinned over,
but built up from the bottom with the best materials pro-
ducible from pure blood, steady circulation, and invigo-
