THE BREVET. -The announcement made by us many
weeks ago that a brevet was not merely contemplated,
but discussed and partly arranged, was not made public
on insufficient grounds. Our information was derived
from a source so near the very fountain head, that we
unhesitatingly credited the statement, and first, the very
first, communicating the intelligence to the army. Con-
flicting estimates have since been presented to the
public, and one or two journals have ventured to con-
tradict the intelligence. We have not for one instant
doubted the veracity of our informant ; and though
the extent of the brevet has been subject for discussion,
and we fear much disagreement, there was no aban-
donment of the position that the necessity of a brevet
was urgent. We know that the objections on the score
of expense were met by facts and figures too stubbord
to be denied ; and that it was proved the brevet pro-
posed would not cost the amount saved by casualties
in the last six or seven months, and that before a year
after its issue the charge would be reduced to what
it now is. The necessity for enlarging the field of selec-
tion in the higher ranks was clearly shown, and we be-
lieve admitted ; but the financial difficulty was not easily
removed, and we apprehend that the promotion of cap-
tains will be very limited, probably not extending be-
yond the captains of 1842. We have been informed that
the wish of the General Commanding in Chief and of
the Secretary at War was to include in the promotion to
the rank of major-general all the colonels who had been
lieutenant-colonels of 1830, but that this was opposed on
financial grounds alone, and that the brevet was some
time ago arranged to include the colonels down to A. S.
H. Mountain. 'Whether the unsettled state of Eastern
affairs may cause the original proposition to be again en-
tertained we -cannot ascertain, but we should be little
surprised if such prove to be the result.—Naval and
Military Gazette.
BATTLE WITH INDIANS.— A correspondent of the Moan-
fain _Herald, writing from Jacksonville, the 18th of
August, gives an account of the battle in the Rome
River Valley between the whites and the Indians, in
which five of our citizens were killed, and five seriously
wounded. On the 16th a party of men from Captain
Goodall's company, under Lieut. Ela, met a party of
Indians, under the command of the chief called Sam.
On the 17th they proceeded up Ell Valley, on Evan's
Creek, and had gone only a few miles, when they met
Sam and all his tribe, amounting to 650 fighting men.
Not being strong enough to make the attack, Lieut.
Ela's party retreated, and sent an express back to Cap-
tain Goodall to hasten up with the rest of his company.
They then camped in the best place they could find, con-
venient to water, not anticipating any attack ; but the
Indians made an attack upon them about 11 o'clock at

night, takinr, them by surprise. Two of Lieut. Ela's
party were shot dead at the first fire, and two more
seriously wounded. The whites then retreated, some two
hundred yards to a point of timber, leaving their horses,
saddles, and baggage behind. The Indians renewed the
attack with great fury ; but meeting with a warm recep-
tion, retreated to a respectful distance. They continued
shooting until about twelve o'clock, when they retired
and held a consultation. After this consultation, which
lasted some twenty minutes, they renewed the attack
with increased fury, and entirely surrounded the whites.
The battle lasted until ten minutes after two p.m., when
the arrival of John D. Crosby with six or eight men, in
advance of the others, caused the Indians to retreat, and
undoubtedly saved the lives of the whole party. They
could not have held out, it is said, half an hour longer.
About one hundred of the Indians had rifles. It was
one of the fiercest battles ever fought with the Indians
in that section of the country. Five of the whites were
shot dead on the field, and three badly though not dan-
gerously wounded, and two less seriously wounded.
There were six Indians killed and several wounded.
The whites after the battle encamped near the battle
ground, waiting for provisions and animals to follow the
enemy.—New York Herald.
THE PROTESTANT BURIAL GROUND AT MADRID,—
The affair of the Protestant burial ground continues to
occupy the attention of the British Charge d'Affidres at
Madrid, and, notwithstanding the difficulties in the way,
not without hopes of a successful issue. It had been
thought that the new Minister for Foreign Affairs, M.
Calderon de la Barca, had acquired during his long resi-
dence in the United States some notions of toleration in,
religious matters. This, however, is not the case. M.
Calderon de la. Barca appears nearly as much a bigot as
if the hotel of the Minister of Public Instruction in the
Calle de Torrija was still what it was in the time of his
celebrated namesake—the Tribunal of the Inquisition—
and as if he himself was one of the familiars. This is a
difficulty which had not been calculated on. The great-
est resistance encountered by Mr. Otway emanates from
the Papal Nuncio, with whom M. Samorius and M.
Calderon de la Barca have had several conferences on
the subject, and these do not bode much good to the
speedy result of the negotiation. Public opinion, how-
ever, is decidedly in favour of the more liberal view of
the question, and a portion of the press of Madrid coin-
cides with public opinion.
SAILORS' HOME REGATTA AT STORNOWAY.—The first
regatta ever attempted so far north, took place on the
2nd inst , in the splendid harbour of Stornoway, which
was covered with sailing and other boats, to the infinite
delight of the inhabitants, who turned out en masse to
witness this pleasing, and, to them, novel sight. The
regatta, which was got up under he patronage of Sir
James and Lady Matheson, for the benefit of the Storno-
way Sailors' Home—an admirable institution, which
owes its existence, in a great measure, to the munifi-
cence of the worthy baronet above mentioned, and his
excellent lady—was conducted in a manner which would
have done no small credit to those ports where such
exhibitions are of more frequent occurrence. The first
race was between fishermen's boats, pulling six oars ;
nine started, and made an excellent match. The second
race, which was also good, was between gigs of four
oars. The third, which was a well-contested one, was be-
tween five fishermen's boats, pulling four oars. There were
two otherraces, one being made up of private boats belong.
ing to the town. The day's proceedings were terminated
by a supper and ball, the former being provided for the
contending parties, by Lady Matheson, at the Sailors'
Home, the donations and subscriptions in aid of which
have lately been considerably increased by the active
exertions of Captain Hail, It.N., the managing director
of the Sailors' Home Institution, in Craven-street,
Strand, London, who has been for some time past busily
engaged in the north, in the furtherance of this
interesting cause, to which, of late years, he has so suc-
cessfully devoted his time and his exclusive attention.

CHANTILLY RACES.—The first of the autumn meetings
at Chantilly came off on Saturday, on the splendid lawn
behind the town. The weather was very unfavourable
in the morning, so that, with the exception of members
of the Jockey Club and other sporting characters, no
very great number of visitors went down from
Paris ; but as the rain kept off, there was a fair
attendance of the town and country people. The
business on the card was a very exciting one for
all who take a professional or direct interest in the
turf. In the first place there was the running for
the two Criterion Stakes for 2-yr-old colts and fillies,
which is a sort of preparatory Derby, as the horses
that figure in it are entered for that great race ; and
in the second place, there was the race for the Empe-
ror's Stakes, which were important not only for their
large amount-15.000fr., including entries and for-
feits (less 2,000 fr. to the second horse)—but from
Jouvence, the winner of the Goodwood Cup in Eng-
land ; Hervine, a frequent winner in France, and
known in England also, together with some other
very good, though less eminent, horses being entered
for it. As to the two Criterions they were very pretty
races, and, strange to say, were both won by the same
owner. For the Emperor's Stakes, Jouvence was
sbeaecnketdhatto—ait large
safely
eamount at 2 to 1 ; but it will be
be said, to the astonishment of
everybody—she ran badly, and was easily beaten—
Royal-Quand-mme being landed triumphantly the win-
ner, though nobody had thought of him. On reaching
the post he was loudly cheered, and his owner, N.
Aumont, was warmly congratulated on his unexpected
victory. It was said that several important bets in
favour of Jouvence were laid in England.
