TIIE CAMP AT CHOBITAM COMMON.

GRAND REVIEW IN PRESENCE OF HER
MAJESTY.

CHOBHAM CAMP, THIS DAY, Half-past Twelve.

At an early hour this morning the roads to the camp
from all points were alive with every description of
vehicles from the patrician's carriage down to the com-
paratively humble equipage of the perambulating green-
grocer. For miles, too, were to be observed lines of
pedestrians toiling through a hilly line of country, and
all bound for the camp. At five o'clock in the morn-
ing, a train nearly half a mile in length, left the Water-
loo station of the South-Western Railway, under the
superintendence•of Mr. Godson, the traffic manager, all
being devoted to the conveyance of horses and carriages
belonging to the nobility. At seven o'clock the first
passenger train departed, and every half hour subse-
quently other trains containing hundreds of visitors
were dispatched for the Chertsey station.
The morning was cloudy at an early period, and ex-
cited fears that rain would mar the day's operations in
the field, but at nine o'clock the atmosphere cleared, and
the sun shone out most vigorously, and gave promise of
certain fine weather.

At ten o'clock exactly the camp, which presented a
few minutes before an air of repose by no means indi-
cating the activity which was about to follow, were
summoned by the bugle sound from head quarters, which
being taken up from position to position, the whole
army turned out simultaneously for parade. After
being inspected by the commanders of each divi-
sion, the general order was sounded for the in-
fantry to fall into line. The order was carried
out with mathematical precision, and from this time
up to 11 o'clock, the army continued to stand
at ease in line, not a movement, so far as the eye could
detect with the aid of a telescope sweeping through the
whole field, being observable. At this moment there
could not have been less than thirty thousand persons
on the ground, and the scene, without the slightest ex-
aggeration, may be said to have been one of the deepest
interest. Carriages crowned the heights on the border
of the field of operations, crowded with the most
superbly-dressed ladies ; while on the plains below were
squadrons of equestrians of both sexes dashing about in
search of openings for penetrating the camp, the en-
trances- to which were most carefully barred by double
guards.
The cavalry were row, under the command of the
Duke of Cambridge, ordered to saddle, the carrying out of
which mandate did not occupy five minutes ; and next
came the order to mount, which was obeyed with fault-
less precision. They were then inspected by General
Lord Seaton, in conjunction with his Royal Highness,
after which his lordship, as Commander-in-Chief of the
encamped army, attended by a brilliant staff, rode past
the lines, making the whole circuit of the encampment,
even to the remotest outpost.
It was now ten minutes past 11 o'clock, and every
minute adding to the vast number on the ground before
the crowds were eagerly gazing towards the Windsor-
road, across the encampment, in anxious expectation of
her Majesty's approach. The Sovereign, ever to her
time on all great public occasions where the interest of
her subjects is enlisted, was not behind scarcely a
minute the period fixed for the Royal presence, and just
before the quarter-past eleven had struck an orderly
rode up to the Commander communicating the fact of
the Queen's approach at little more than the distance of
a mile from comp.
Lord Seaton at once ordered out a body guard of the
Life Guards and Lancers to take up a position on the
road leading directly to head quarters, and in a line with
the Royal Pavilion. In less than a minute after the
Guard of Honour had halted in position, the outriders
to the Royal equipage dashed forward, followed at full
gallop by the troops escorting her Majesty, and in a few
minutes the Sovereign, accompanied by Prince Albert
and the Royal suite, entered the lines of the encampment.
A simultaneous sound of bugles passed the order for
the Royal salute, and, as though by magic, the quiet
that reigned for two hours before, was shaken by the
thunder of' artillery, added to which was the discharge
of musketry throughout the whole line. When the
firing ceased, the cheers from at least fifty thousand
voices greeted the Royal ear during her Majesty's ad-
vance to the Pavilion, and which almost drowned the
several bands who played the National Anthem.
The Queen was received by General Lord Seaton and
the Duke of Cambridge, who conducted the Sovereign,
Prince Albert, and the other exalted personages to the
Royal tent, where, after a few minutes stay, her Majesty
again appeared upon the field, the entire troops present-
ing arms.
The order was now given for the first evolution of the
troops. The infantry closed up their extended lines
and took position in close columns, and the cavalry
having been formed four deep, wheeled to the right.
The Guards received the order to advance across some
broken ground, and take up a position at the base of a
hill some six hundred yards from their former position.
The other infantry regiments were directed to execute
similar movements ; and, after all had taken up their
positions, the rifles were ordered to move in columns,
and then scatter themselves over the undulating
ground, in skirmishing order, so that they might, as it
were, cover by their fire the advance: of the reconnoitre-
ing parties for the various divisions. It was a most in-
teresting movement on the part of these sable messen-
gers of death. Some might be seen in the distance, flat
upon the ground and crawling like serpents on all fours,
while others of them ran like rats from hillock to furze-
bush ; and as they continued to get over the ground, the
naked eye failed to recognise anything of them—their
presence being confounded with the short scrubby heath,
so much in uniform with their attire.
The Review was going on when our dispatch was sent
.

SUDDEN DEATH.—During Divine Service at St. Bar-
nabas Church, Pimlico, on Sunday morning last, Mr.
Thomas Bailey, of Aigburgh, near Liverpool, was at-
tacked by apoplexy for the third time. He was attended
by Dr. Aldis, and although the usual means were imme-
diately resorted to he expired in a few hours afterwards.
SUDDEN DEATH OF THE REV. JOHN MAYOR,

The Rev. John Mayor, 8.D., of Lincoln College, Ox-
ford, and son of the celebrated Rev. Dr. Mayor, author
of the Spelling Book, and many other popular works,
was found dead on Sunday afternoon, in his cell, on the
debtor's side of the Oxford County Gaol. An inquest
was held on the body yesterday afternoon by Mr.
Brimner, when it appeared that the deceased had
been confined in this gaol for debt for upwards
of nine years : that he refused to receive the gaol
allowance of food, and subsisted entirely on the bounty
of his friends, who subscribed sums of money, which
were doled out to him to procure what was necessary.
He had for a long time laboured under illness, but in-
variably refused to see the medical attendant at the gaol,
and has occasionally refused to touch any food for two
or three days together. The medical officer, Mr. Wood,
stated his belief that the deceased died from having
fainted, not having the power of resuscitation, owing to
his being reduced by obstinate abstinence. The deceased
formerly held a living in Essex, worth about 3501. per
annum ; but it was sequestered about 10 years ago to
pay his debts, and had he lived until October next, it
would have been cleared and restored to him.
THE BELGIAN SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.-It having
been resolved that the opening of this new line of sub-
marine telegraph to Brussels should receive all the
éclat which could be conferred upon it by its inaugura-
tion taking place at the office established in the House
of Commons, and by the attendance at the ceremony of
many of our nobility and distinguished public men, it
was arranged by the Belgian Government that his Royal
Highness the Duke of Brabant, accompanied by some
of the Belgian Ministers, should attend at the office in
Brussels for the purpose of presiding on the occasion.
At about 2 o'clock the arrival of his Royal Highness at
the bureau at Brussels was announced through the sub-
marine wires, and Lord de Manley acknowledged the
communication. M. Drouet, the Belgian Charge
d'Affaires to the British Government, who was present
in London, then forwarded a congratulatory communi-
cation to Brussels to his Royal Highness the Duke of
Brabant, and also to the Belgian Minister of Public
Works upon this completion of a discovery characterised
as being " rapid as our own thoughts." Lord W. Paulet,
Aide-de-Camp to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam-
bridge, dispatched a communication to Lord Howard de
Walden at Brussels, indicating his Royal Highness's re-
gret at his detention at Chobham Camp, and at his being
unable to forward personally his congratulation upon
the occasion. A short dispatch, in which Lord Stanley
sent his compliments to Lord Howard de Walden, and
to which an answer was received by Mr. Albert Evans
in two minutes, was productive of great pleasure in con-
, sequence of it so convincingly demonstrating the extreme
rapidity with which the two capitals were brought in
contact. The experiments throughout were attended
with the most complete success. In addition to the
completion of the cable and line to Brussels, Messrs.
Friend and Handl, the contractors for the company's
subterranean telegraphs, have just effected the junction
of the Birmingham with the metropolis, and this line
will be opened in a few days. They will then proceed
rapidly with the continuation to Liverpool.

mittal of a Mr. Thomas Digby Delamotte, brother of
General Delamotte, a schoolmaster, of much repute in
the district, on a charge of bigamy. The evidence
which was adduced in support of the charge, showed
that, in the month of June, he married a lady, named
Sarah Martyn Farra,nt, who was very respectably con-
nected at Exeter. They did not live long together, and
separated. In January last, he united himself to a Miss
Frances Seymour Feston, at St. Dunstan's Church,
London ; and, his former partner being found to be
alive, proceedings at once were taken against him. He
was committed to Hertford county gaol, to await Isis
trial It the next assizes.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY-(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.)

N RE BERTON.-lIIPORTANT PARTNERSHIP QUESTION.

This bankrupt had carried on business in Princes-
street, Hanover-square, and this day was appointed for
consideration of the certificate. .

Mr. Mason appeared for the assignees, and said he
had no opposition to offer on their behalf.
Mr. Davis, as solicitor for a gentleman named Lone-
dales, opposed, on the ground that the bankrupt, with
whom he had formerly been in partnership, had borrowed
1,6001. to carry on the business when he knew that he
could not carry it on with success, as he soon after-
wards became bankrupt, and also that the part-
nership had been mutually dissolved, and a deed of
assignment had been made to s trustee to receive the
outstanding debts for the benefit of the partnership
creditors—the bankrupt had collected moneys, and ap-
plied them to his own use.
Mr. Lawrence admitted that those sums had been re-
ceived, but they had been applied to the legitimate pur-
poses of trade, and it was pending the negotiation for
the execution of the deed. The bankrupt had truly in-
formed the creditors that he had received the money,
and 1$ months was allowed him to lay it. He (Mr.
Lawrence) had allowed Mr. Davis to urge his objections
although that gentleman had no locus standi, for on his
tendering a proof, his Honor (Mr. Commissioner Holroyd)
held that whilst there were any outstanding partnership
solvent partner, who had retired, could not be
allowed to prove against the private estate of a bank-
rupt partner. Another strong point in the bankrupts
favour was that the trustee had failed to render any
account, and it had been necessary to file a bill in Chan-
cery against him.
His Honour said, it appeared to him from the evi-
dence that the bankrupt had not at all acted fraudu-
lently, it did not appear that he had made the slightest
false :statement ; on the contrary, it showed that he had
endeavoured to do the best he could for his creditors,
but had been unfortunate ; he was, therefore, entitled to
an immediate certificate of the second class.
