THE UNITED ELEVEN OF ALL ENGLAND v.
EIGHTEEN OF THE COUNTY OF SUSSEX.
This match, at the close of Wednesday's play bore the
following appearance :

Early in the present spring, it is now stated by the
Foreign Office, a representation was made to the British
Cabinet by the Russian Court. The complaint then
was solely that the Porte had revoked the privileges
conferred on the Greek clergy by treaty. The complaint,
we are assured, was wholly confined to this—and to
this we are now assured Lord John Russell gave a frank
reply. Nay, further, we are told, in an indiscreet reve-
lation of Cabinet dissensions, " that Lord John Russell
has on all occasions shown the greatest ardour in sup-
porting the rights of the Ottoman empire."
Dealing with this matter, we think it right to quote
the very words of the Times. .If damning evidence
were wanted against Lord Clarendon, it would be found
in the statement of what was done by Lord John
Russell :
"To this communication Lord John Russell gave
a frank and manly answer. England had no di-
rect interest in these firmans, and she merely ex-
pressed her readiness to promote an amicable ar-
rangement of the dispute between Turkey and the
other two Powers. Far from offering any oppo--
position to the demands of Russia on this point, which
were so far reasonable and just, the British Em-
bassy at Constantinople was instructed to support
them ; and, in fact, Lord Stratford did subsequently
give such effectual assistance to the Russian Envoy
on the question of the Holy Places that it was
satisfactorily settled, and Prince Menschikoff himself
addressed to Lord Stratford a letter of thanks for his
support. Throughout this part of the transaction no-
thing was said of the general question, and much less of
the treaty subsequently demanded ; and we shall perhaps
be able to show on some future occasion that not only
was nothing said of any such pretensions, but that they
were uniformly, solemnly, and vehemently denied."
Let us for one moment ask attention to this extraordi-
nary statement. Nothing at all was said of these pre-
tensions, " and yet they were uniformly, solemnly, and
vehemently denied !" This is the statement of the
Ministerial manifesto. They were never pressed upon
Lord John Russell, yet throughout the whole negotia-
tion he uniformly, solemnly, and vehemently denied
them. It has been said that certain classes of people
should have good memories. Most assuredly men
should not hazard in print rash contradictions, who
cannot recollect in the fourth line the positive statement
which they have made in the first.
The palpable absurdity of this self-contradictory
statement it is needless to dwell upon. We may say,
however, that we perfectly believe that these ,preten-
sions were opposed by Lord John Russell. If opposed,
it is peXectly plain they must hate been put forward.
To any communication that was made while Lord John
Russell held the seals of the Foreign-office our statement
had no reference whatever. But we have now this
volunteered corroboration of what we really did state—
an assurance from the Foreign-office that Lord John
Russell resigned the seals, denying vehemently preten-
sions, which, if denied, were incst unquestionably put
forward.
Then follows the statement, -to-which we earnestly in-
vite the attention of the British public. After Prince
Menschikoff's arrival at Constantinople, a further com-
munication was made by Baron Brunow to Lord Claren-
don, who had then become Secretary for Foreign
Affairs. That communication professed to state the de-
mands the Russian envoy was about to make upon the
Porte, and to those demands Lord Clarendon assented.
We quote the words of the Times:—
"Upon the arrival of Prince Menschikoff at Constanti-
nople a further communication was made in London,
purporting to convey the sense of his instructions, and
some of the expressions used in the letter of credentials
of which he was the bearer from the Emperor of
Russia to the Sultan."
" Was made in London I" This is the pitiable evasion
by which the ministerial manifesto attempts to escape
the direct admission of the fact we statel, that Baron
Brunow communicated to Lord Clarendon the demands
which Prince Menschikoff was instructed to make.
This was our statement. Well, such a communication
was made in London ! Everybody knows it could have
been made only by one person, and to one person in
London. This means it was made by Baron Brunow to
Lord Clarendon,—exactly what we stated.
But what was that communication ? It purported to
be " the sense of the instructions," and " some of the
expressions of the credentials." Surely we cannot have
a more positive statement that Baron Brunow did com-
municate to Lord Clarendon that which he professed to
give as the most full, the most candid, and the most ex-
plicit declaration of the demands which Prince Menschi- I
koff was instructed to make.
It is quite true that the Times goes on to say that the
demands subsequently made by the Prince differed from
tiose which Baron Brunow represented as his instruc-
tion 4 But the Times admits that the demands commu-
nicated by Baron Brunow received through the Foreign
Secretary the assent of the British Court.
Lord Clarendon is desirous, in his defence, to assert
that Baron ljrunow, or his Government, imposed upon
the British Court. That the Russian envoy communi-
cated to him a representation of Prince Menschikoffs s
instructions—nay, more, wat professed to be extract
from his letters of credentials, and that he assented to
these, but that the real objects of the mission were
totallyt different from these. Now, we say at once we
do not believe this. It is impossible to conceive a graver
charge than that which is contained in this statement
against the ambassador of a friendly power. We do not
believe either Russia or Baron Brunow capable of the
duplicity which Lord Clarendon imputes to them. We
say Lord Clarendon, because it is plain that no one but
Lord Clarendon could publish even a garbled account of
the communications of the Russian Minister to himself.
No one can pretend to be blind to the source from
which the information, true or false, must come. The
case, then, stands thus :—We have Lord Clarendon dis-
tinctly admitting that after Prince Menschikoff arrived
at Constantinople, Baron Brunow did communicate to
him a statement of the demands which Russia was
making upon the Porte ; that he (Lord Clarendon) did
assent to the demand, as stated, but that this statement
did not disclose the true nature of the demands.
A very few days will probably enable us freely to
discuss the truth of this defence. How far it was con-
sistent with his duty to his Sovereign at the pre-
sent moment to embarrass our Russian relations,
already in all conscience difficult enough, by this charge
of perfidy against the Russian Minister, it is for Cla-
rendon's conscience to judge. A very few days, we
earnestly trust, will place Parliament in a position to
deal with Lord Clarendon as he deserves.
Our readers, however, will recollect that our state-
ment is now admitted. Early in spring Baron Brunow
did communicate to Lord Clarendon the demands to be
made upon the Porte, and Lord Clarendon assented to
the making of those demands.

AMERICAN COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS.—The arrivals of
specie from New York continue steady, although pro-
bably the larger proportion of the 150,000/. just brought
by the Franklin is consigned to Havre. At the last
dates the stock-market was firm, with a tendency to
improvement. In flour there had been a slight decline,
which, coupled with more moderate quotations for freight,
cause increased activity among the exporting houses. A
salutary veto had been imposed by the Governor of the
State on a proposal of the Legislature to authorise the use
of City Stocks as well as of New York and Federal Stocks
as security for the circulation of banks,—a measure which
would rapidly have led to inflation. The trade in the
manufactured goods of this country and France was ex-
ceedingly active, the quantities taken during the month of
May having been nearly double those in the correspond-
ing month of last year, while the total since the Ist
of January was 7,550,000/. against 4,900,0001. in the
first five months of 1852. The returns of the gold de-
posited at the Philadelphia mint during the present year
had also been published, and showed a total of 5,050,0001.
against 3,700,0001, in 1852. The excess, however, in
this case must not be assumed to have arisen, except in
a limited degree, from the increase in the Californian
production, the low rate of exchangeortion which has prevailed
until lately having caused a prop of specie larger
than usual to be retained in the country. With regard
to Mexican affairs, by the present arrival there is no-
thing of importance beyond the fact that United States'
troops have been sent to occupy the disputed territory
OD the frontier known as the Mesilla Valley, so that the
United States, pending an agreement being come to on
the title, may be on a par with Mexico, by whom the
indiscretion has been committed of occupying it already
With 1,000 men,.

The LORD MAYOR, in proposing "The Archbishop of
Canterbury, and Success to the Society for the Propaga-
tion of the Gospel," said it was a great gratification to
him to propose the health of the good archbishop in con-
nection with the society referred to, as he felt it was the
desire of the most reverend prelate to promote religion
amongst the people at home, and to extend the blessings
of the Gospel and the glory of God, by means of mis-
sionary labours, all over the world. (Hear.) The Gos-
pel was adapted to all—to a man in a state of barbarism,
or to a man sunk in sin, the way of sanctification was to
be found in this preaching of the Gospel. (Hear.) If
ever the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel was
of importance, it was so at this time, when emigration
was going forward with such rapid strides, when
our countrymen were seeking settlements in foreign
lands, and when it was most important that the mission-
ary should be found to guide and instruct those who,
without their assistance, would be in darkness. (Hear.)
The Archbishop of CANTERBURY said, he had a double
acknowledgment to make. In the first place, he had
to thank the Lord Mayor for the manner in which he
had introduced his name to that company ; and next and
chiefly, for having associated his name with an institu-
tion which bad done much to extend the preaching of
the Gospel all over the world. (Hear.) In a country
like this it was gratifying to find that commerce and
religion were so blended, that one was but a means for
advancing the other. That was as it should be ; com-
merce and religion ought to be so identified, that wher-
ever the merchant went to promote commerce, there
ought also to be found men to carry out the glorious
principle of establishing the religion of Him who had
come upon earth to save mankind. (Hear, hear.) The
Society for the Propagation of the Gospel had been
in existence for the last 150 years, and never were its
labours more necessary than at that moment, when, as
had been properly observed by the Lord Mayor, the
tide of emigration was extending to other lands—where,
whatever else they might find, they would not find the
minister of religion, to guide and instruct them in the
way of salvation, and without the knowledge of which
they would be in the very worst position of the heathens
whom they were displacing. (Hear, hear.) Before
sitting down, he begged to propose the health of the
Lord Mayor, whose name was associated with the pro-
motion of those institutions which were identified with
Christianity and charity, and whose entertainment that
evening showed that he was also deeply imbued with
the virtue of hospitality. (Hear, hear.) He begged to
propose 'The health of the Right Hon. the Lord
Mayor." (Applause.)
The LORD MAYOR, in returning thanks, said that
forty years ago he had the happiness of hearing the
Archbishop of Canterbury advocating the cause of. the
Bible Society, and he believed that, impressed with the
sentiments expressed by that most reverend prelate, and
acting under their influence, he had overcome difficulties
and been enabled to reach that point which gave him
the opportunity of being in the proud position which he
then occupied, and which afforded him an opportunity
of having around him the distinguished individuals who
formed that company.
Other toasts having been drunk the company sepa-
rated, highly gratified with the proceedings of the even-
ing.
The vocalisation during the evening was of a very
superior order.

THE CAMP AT CROBHAM COMMON.

Yesterday was a day of repose-for, the troops, mid
now that the ordinary routine of 'camp life has begun,
the quarters of those regiments which have seen much
foreign service are easily to be distinguished .from their
less-experienced brethren by the greater efficiency of the
men and better pitching of the tents. -The troops of the
Household Brigade, it will be remembered, were the first
to pitch their tents on the day of the formation of the
camp, but beyond,this temporary superiority we cannot
say that they have done anything to maintain their pre-
eminence. Either from some fault in the ground, or in the
arrangement of the tents, a great many of them were re-
pitched on the following Wednesday, but even now
they are about the worse pitched tents on the whole field.
This we mean to apply with regard to the canvas, not
being properly strained down to the pins, but suffered
to hang in loose and unseemly wrinkles, and frequently
with the pole set awry. The regiments of the line, on
the contrary, seem to improve, and be more at home in
the camp every hour. The 95th and 93d, in particular,
occupied the longest time in pitching their tents of any
regiment, but the work though slow was sure, and what
was done, was done thoroughly, for decidedly there is no
force on the ground which has, as a body, its tents pitched
so well. The gallant 42d also deserve high praise. But it
is not in tent pitching alone that these particular corps
surpass the others. In everything which relates to
"roughing," with its thousand and one make-shifts—from
killing and cutting up a bullock down to the men wash-
ing themselves all over in a little tin pannikin, into
which literally they can scarcely get five fingers
—they are pre-eminent. The accuracy and rapidity
with which the men of the 93d employ themselves in
plaiting circular straw mats for completely covering the
ground on which the tent is pitched would astonish any
beholder. ' The greater part of yesterday was ab-
sorbed by such duties, with drill, parade, water parties,
&c. Towards the close of the day, when the men had a
little more spare time, they amused themselves with the
usual athletic sports which the regiments generally pur-
sue when ir. barracks. Football was most vigorously
played by the English soldiers, while the Scotch devoted
themselves to dancing to the music of the bagpipes. On
Wednesday evening the men of the 42d and 93d were
dancing the Highland fling with an agility and grace
which we have seldom seen surpassed. Some of the
93d men also danced the sword dance over two drawn
claymores in a manner that elicited great applause from
the groups of officers standing by.
From these details it will be seen at once that the
most perfect unanimity prevails among both officers and
men. Some endeavours, however, have been made by
many of the men of the different regiments to evade the
active duties of camp, by presenting themselves to their
respective medical officers, and complaining of such ills
as gumboils, pains in their bones, toothache, &c., and
which they alleged nothing would cure but being taken
into hospital. It is needless to say that such fictitious
illnesses did not prevail over the skill of the surgeons,
who in almost every instance sent the men back to their
duty. We believe, also, that the medical officers report
unanimously that there never were fewer men upon the
sick list than now. As we stated yesterday, the
hospital tents are placed in the rear of each regi-
ment's quarters, but they are only destined for the
reception of trivial cases which can be easily cured.
All cases which may threaten serious indisposition will
be immediately removed from the lines and sent on to
the general hospital, which has been established for the
occasion at Chobham, and where all the conveniences of
a regular infirmary are provided.
No heavy duties in the way of reviews, sham
battles night surprises, &c., will take place this week
we believe; but with the next, the heavy work, for
which the camp was assembled, will commence.
This (Friday) morning, the whole of the camp,
cavalry, infantry, and artillery, with the tents and
stables, will be inspected by the Commander in Chief
General Lord Hardinge. To-morrow there will be no
field day nor demonstration of any kind. We wish to
impress this fact upon the public, as several of our
morning contemporaries have announced such a cele-
bration of the Waterloo anniversary as being definitely
fixed to take place. On Sunday there will, of course,
be no operations or sight of any kind, beyond the pas-
sage of the men to the different neighbouring churches.
On Tuesday there will be a grand review and sham
battle upon the plain ; her Majesty and Prince
Albert will be present on this occasion, and a most
numerous attendance of the aristocracy is also expected.
On Wednesday next the whole of Lieutenant-General
Sir De Lacy Evans's Brigade, consisting of the 38th and
93d Regiments, and the Rifle Battalion, will strike their
tents, and taking with them provisions and water for
three days, proceed upon a march into the country, re-
turning back again to camp on Friday afternoon. Each
of the two other brigades of infantry will likewise take
a similar march into the country in their turn. In such
exhibitions as these the " roughing" will be even more
severe than in the camp.

WRITECHAPEL PRIZES TO WORKING MEN. —On
Wednesday evening a public meeting was held in White-
chapel, in the large school-room—the Earl of Shaftes-
bury in the chair—for the purpose of presenting the
prizes recently offered to the working men of White-
chapel by a committee of gentlemen of the parish. The
meeting was well attended, and as the working men had
been especially invited, they were present in great num-
bers. The Rev. W. W. Champneys, chairman of the
committee for awarding the prizes, opened the meeting
with a statement of the immediate object the committee
had in view, namely, to learn from the working men
themselves what difficulties they had to contend with,
and the best practicable means of removing them. The
prizes were then presented by the Earl ofShaftesbury.
The first, of seven guineas, to James Patten, fancy soap.
maker ; the second, of five guineas, to Thomas Stoner,
carpenter ; the third, of throe guineas, to John Jones,
printer. His lordship then addressed the meeting at

•

Their Majesties the King and Queen of Hanover,
accompanied by the youthful Crown Prince, and the
Princesses of the Royal family, arrived off the Royal
dockyard at Woolwich at half-past five o'clock last
evening, from Ostend.
At eleven o'clock in the forenoon, four of the Queen's
carriages and two luggage vans arrived at the Royal
dockyard from Buckingham Palace, for the conveyance
of the illustrious travellers to London. His Excellency
Count Kielmansegge, Hanoverian Minister, accompanied
by his daughter, the Countess Helen Kielmansegge,
arrived from town at half-past twelve o'clock to be in
attendance to receive his Royal master. His Excellency
was received by Commodore Eden, the captain superin-
tendent of the dockyard, whose guest he remained during
the afternoon.

Intelligence of the anticipated arrival of the King and
Queen having got abroad, the leading residents in the
neighbourhood, including almost all the officers of the
garrison, with their ladies, assembled on the parade at
an early hour in the afternoon to witness the Royal de-
barkation.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge arrived
at half-past three o'clock; attended by Lord William
Paulet. At a quarter to four o'cl9ck, Lord Elphinstone,
Lord in Waiting to the Queen, who is appointed to at-
tend upon the King of Hanover during his sojourn in
England, and General Buckley, arrived at the dockyard
from Buckingham Palace in one of the Queen's carriages,
and joined the party of officers waiting to receive the
King and the Queen.

At ten minutes after 5 o'clock the approach of the
Black Eagle, Admiralty yacht, with' the Hanoverian
flag flying at the main, was telegraphed from the summit
Of the tower of Woolwich Church, and almost immedi-
ately afterwards this fine steamer was seen rounding the
point just below Woolwich Reach. The troops were
immediately drawn up, and the artillerymen called to
their guns. The Black Eagle came to her moorings in
mid-stream at half-past five o'clock.
_._. __.

The King and Queen, with their children, were upon
deck when the Duke of Cambridge stepped on board.
The interview between their Majesties and his royal
Highness was of the most cordial and affectionate
character.

After a delay of about 20 minutes the King and
Queen, with the Royal children, descended the com-
panion, and stepped into the commodore's barge, and
were rowed to the landing-place, the white horse of
Hanover floating from the bow. The Royal party
landed, and ascended the steps, amid the thunder of a,
royal salute from the battery on the wharf above.
The King was dressed in a plain blue frock coat and
military trousers. His Majesty was assisted up the
landing-steps by the Duke of Cambridge and Count
Kielmansegge. The Queen was handed up by Commo-
dore Eden.

As soon as their Majesties had reached the parade,
the cheers of the spectators assured them of a hearty
and generous welcome. The King took off his hat and
bowed repeatedly during his progress to the royal car-
riage. At this moment some officious civilian pushed
forward and whispered something to his Majesty. The
King looked back, and with great kindness said, " Call
upon me to-morrow in Grosvenor-place." The incident
might have disconcerted one less considerate than the
afflicted Monarch.

The King and Queen, with the youthful Princess Maria
and his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, entered
the first carriage—an open phaeton, drawn by four
horses ; and at five minutes to six o'clock his Majesty
left the dockyard amid the reiterated cheers of the assem-
bled spectators.

The Crown Prince and the Princess Frederica, and
the ladies and gentlemen in the suite of the King and
Queen, followed in six other carriages.
The arrangements in the dockyard were most com-
plete, and, the care and attention of Mr. Superintendent
Mallalieu and Inspector Feltham effectually prevented
either accident or inconvenience.
Their Majesties drove over Westminster-bridge, along
Parliament-street, by the Horse Guards, through St.
James's Park, and up Constitution-hill, leaving the park
by the triumphal arch, and turning down Grosvenor-
place to the residence of the Hanoverian Legation, where
the royal party arrived at seven o'clock.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester and
her Royal Highness the Duchess Caroline of Mecklen-
burgh Strelitz were in attendance at the Legation to re-
ceive their Majesties.

The King and Queen only retired for a few moments,
and presently left the residence of the Legation in a car-
riage-and-four, to pay a visit to her Majesty and the
Prince Consort, at Buckingham Palace. Upon the road
between the Palace and the Legation their Majesties
were met by the Queen and the Prince Consort, hasten-
ing to pay a visit of congratulation to their illustrious
relatives. The horses' heads were turned, and in a few
moments the Queen and Prince Consort met the King
and Queen in the hall of the Hanoverian Legation. The
interview between the Queen and her Royal cousins was
most affecting. Her Majesty remained for nearly half-
an-hour with her illustrious relatives.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent and her
Serene Highness the Princess Adelaide of gehenlobe,
and their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of
Saxe Coburg Gotha, visited their Majesties during the
evening.
