There was a serious disturbance among the
troops at the Military Train Bat racks, Woolwich,
yesterday. As already announced in The. Sun,
transfer has been made to the Army Service Cori s
of all the volunteers froM the blifitary Train.
Those who have not volunteered, the med:cally
unfit, and lad characters were detained, awaiting
the orders for their discharge. - Since the men have
learnt that they are to be discharged a feeling of
evident discontent and insubordination has been
growing among them, which culminated in opeti
mutiny yesterday morning, when neatly the wholeof
the Military Train men refused to do any work, some
of them breaking out of barracks. The officers
endeavoured to prevail upon them to return to
their duty peaceably, but they declined, and no
course vas left but to send for the Military Police.
Upon hearing this the mutineers became outra-
geous, returned to their rooms, and at once com-
menced smashing basins, plates, and any article of
crockery they could lay their hands upon, at the
same time hurling them out of the windows and
along the corridors of the barracks. Some of the
more desperate seiz Al their carbines and sword
bayonets, threatening with violence arty one who
attempted to interfere with them. The Military
Police, in charge of Provost-Marshal Richey,
Royal Artillery, having arrived, very soon suc-
ceeded in getting the greater portion of the
men into the barracks, after which they took pos-
session of the barrack gates, messengers having
in the meantime been despatched to the Comman-
dant's-office for additional aid. Upon receipt of
the intelligence Captain Pearse, Royal Artillery,
Brigade Major, immediately communicated with
Major-General Sir David Wood, K.C.8., Com-
mandant of the garrison, who at once ordered 100
men of the Royal Artillery, in command of Capt.
J. M. Vibart, 7th Brigade, to proceed to the scene
of the disturbance. Upon their arrival the bar-
racks were searched all through, and 20 of the
malcontents were quickly apprehended and brought
out on to the parade strongly guarded. The officers
having satisfied themselves that there were no
other rioters Idling in the barracks, the 20 prison-
ers, surrounded by the_men of the Royal Artillery,
were marched up to the main guard room of the
Royal Artillery Barracks, laughing and uttering
exclamations of &flamer: all the way. The .Mili-
tary Police have been searching the town for the
men who broke out of barracks, and have suc-
ceeded in capturing nearly the whole of them, the
total number in the cells at the guard room at roll
call laat night being 27. The prisoners will, no
doubt, be tried by court-martial. The War Office
has been communicated with, And although the
mutiny may now be considered completely quelled,
-great excitement prevails among the whole of the
troops in garrison. The main cause of the dis-
turbance has, we believe, reference to the stoppage
of a portion of their pay, but no doubt the case
will be fully inquired into by the autbori•ies.

dIE WEEKLY PRESS.
THE ENFANT TERRIBLE OP THE GOVERNMENT.

Mr. Lowe, like Mr. Bright, says the Saturday Review,
g ;florally endeavours to impress upon deputations that
Vier° is as use at all in their coming to him. But, in-
stead of soothing, he adopt rather an irritant treatment.
He lets it plainly appear that he thinks them fools, and
h ; even endeavours to open their own eyes to that un-
welcome fact. He essays to prove to them that they aro
imorant of everything, even of their own ignorance. Mr.
Lowe puzzlin-, a deputation and reducing it to confusion
blends curiously the Socratic method with the manner of
an Old Bailey lawyer. His treatment of deputations re-
veals a remarkable side of hie character. Though now
not far from being a sexagenarian, he has many of the
qualities of a clever lad. He is disputatious and fond of
c mtradiction. He likes to puzzle people, . and to place
them in intellectual dilemmas. The triumph which a
sharp and disagreeable boy manifests when he asks a
question or suggests a problem which his victims cannot
answer or solve, Mr. Lowe in similar circumstances, en-
joys to the fullest extent. Air. Disraeli; who is happy in
hitting off character in a single phrase, did not skew more
felicity when he designated the late Sir Robert Peel as
the ()Teat parliamentary middleman, than when he
cl,l:7cribed Mr. Lowe as a kind 'of inspired schoolboy.
Mr. Lowe is the enfant terrible of the Government. lit.
delights in shocking the feelings of his chi f and of- his
colleagues, and in sheaving the world how little respect he
entertains for them. During the last session of Parlia-
ment, Professor Fawcett, not without go9d ground, eulo-
gised the intellectual democracy of the great 'English Uni-
versities, in which the race is always to the swift, and the
battle to the strong. Mr. Lowe, without expressly nam-
ing Trinity Hall, retorted that Fellowships in the smaller
colleges, were the refuges of second-rate men, .who would
be beaten into fits in open competition. Mr. Fawcett's
University career was sufficiently distinguished to allow
him to feel indifferent to the compliment, which was not,
however, the lees graceful or well-designed. An unfor-
tunate deputation once took refuge behind a statement of
Mr. Gladstoee's, which seemed to promise them some
shelter from the pursuer. Mr. Lowe bluntly avowed that
he could not make head or tail of it, and added that Mr.
Gladstone's object probably was to say nothing at all, and
to please everybody. "Laughter, in which Mr. Glad-
stone joined," was the reporter's sequel to this recital.
The Prime Minister's lauNhter was probably as cheerful
as if it had been wakened in the jaws of death. Doubtless
ho " grinned horribly a ghastly smile," at the frankness
of his right honourable friend. Mr. Lowe may have
smirked with conscious self-approval, and possibly felt
disposed to cry with little Tony Weller, when he hears his
misdeeds narrated, "That was me, that was."
