THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY VENING, SEPTEMBER 3, 1860.

We watch anxiously the arrival of each omnibus on
our line ; but we have no need to wait for the cry
" Full inside"—a few half-lucky wights may be
seen, before the 'bus comes up—outside--contend-
ing with head-winds it may be, or with the eddy-
winds of cross-streets as best they may, their um-
brellas alternately exhibiting both their sides, and
pretty plainly saying by their look—" We should
not have been up here could we have been down
inside." The new omnibuses will give us a great
part of the advantage, in bad weather and busy
times, of railway accommodation. Indeed, by a
little good management, with an adequate " rolling
stock" and stud of horses, we do not see that they
need, in this respect, leave us anything to desire.
We cordially congratulate Mr. TRAIN on the suc-
cess which his energy and skill have so well earned,
and shall give him a most hearty welcome to our
metropolis, the place which needs him more than
any other in the world.

Saturday the first of September will be long and
gratefully remembered in Lancashire for the grand
review at Knowsley Park, the magnificent seat of
the Earl of DERBY. The Park contains upwards of
180 acres—and was crowded by a truly patriotic
host of gallant Volunteers, numbering about 11,000
men, and some one hundred and fifty thousand spec-
tators from the surrounding towns and villages—
Liverpool and Manchester contributing their
loyal tens of thousands. The chivalry and beauty
of Lancashire were there in gay costume, and the
Volunteer Highlanders of Liverpool—
" All plaided and plumed in their tartan array"
gave a picturesque variety to the splendid scene.
Well might Lord DERBY be proud of such a glorious
gathering on the domains of his chivalrous an-
cestry. Nor was the patriotism of the manly
bands the least prominent feeling in the assemblage
—their soldierly bearing and excellent discipline
elicited the wonder as it challenged the admiration
of all beholders.

Lancashire may well be proud of her sons thus
collected in the splendid park of Knowsley ; and
the Earl of DERBY may be prouder still that he
had the honour of seeing such an assembly. The
nobleHosfgave each and all a most generous reception
—dispensing, with prineely hand, the bounty of old
English hospitality in a right English and
Baronial spirit. It was, worthy of the house of
DERBY.

The Volunteer Movement may now be said to
have acquired a truly national character, and a
patriotic emulation seems to be the order of the
day. The spectators on Saturday looked and felt
proud of their country as the various bands in their
diversified uniforms marched before them, and
many no doubt thought of the spirited lines of
ELIZA COOK :

Then here's to the Grey, and the Green, and the Blue,
Never heed in what colours you find them ;
But be sure they'll be dyed a blood-red through and
through,
Ere the chains of a Despot can bind them I"

As General WETHERALL reviewed the lines,
he frequently stopped to examine the fine order
of the men, their accoutrements and martial bear-
ing. Indeed he could not help recalling to mind
the lines of GOLDSMITH as he watched the march
of the battalions with—

Pride in their port—defianee'in their eye--
I see the lords of human kind pass by.
And long may England produce such sons worthy
of the best days of their glorious forefathers.
It may be interesting to be reminded that Knows-
ley, with its

" Chambers fair, and glorious halls,
Sparkling roof and glittering walls,"

and its lordly park, is the principal seat of the DERBY
family, and is situated within about eight miles of
Liverpool. The park, which encloses fully 180 acres,
independently of extensive plantations, is nearly ten
miles in circumference. The hall has more of the
grandeur created by ample dimensions than by
architectural style. The portion prepared for the
reception of HENRY VII., and for the sojourn
of the Prince Regent in later times, was rebuilt, in
1820, of stone, with battlements, small towers, and
crenelated parapets. Over the south or front en-
trance, beneath the family arms, is this inscrip-
tion :

"James, Earl of Derby, Lord of Man and the
Isles, grandson of James, Earl of Derby, and of
Charlotte, daughter of Claude, Duke de la Tremo-
wille, whose husband James was beheaded at Bol-
ton, 15th October, 1652, for strenuously adhering
to Charlesll., whorefused a bill passed unanimously
by both Houses of Parliament for restoring to the
family the estates lost by his loyalty to hire, 1732,"

WATERSPOUTS IN WALES.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

A very unusual phenomenon took place at Portmadoc
last Saturday evening, at about 5 p.m. It was not a shower
of frogs, but it was the descent of two large waterspouts
from an enormous mass of clouds which had come across
the upper part of Cardigan Bay in a south .easterly direc-
tion. They both formed about a mile or two out at sea, and
crossed the long neck of sand which runs out about three
or four miles from the base of the hill on which Haarlech
Castle stands. The sight was grand and exciting, as the
base of the cloud from which they came was at an altitude
of not less than 1,000 feet. The first broke in its passage
over the sands, and reformed again at the side of the
mountain (behind Haarlech), over which it careered in
wild fury, and when it reached the top it dissolved and re-
formed again in a jagged form, like forked lightning.
While this was going on, another much larger than the
first, and very eccentric in form, suddenly descended in
about the same place the other had commenced in, and
broke before it reached the land.

The present proprietor of Knowsley, Edward
Geoffrey Stanley (Earl of Derby, Baron Stanley, of Bicker.
staffe, and Baronet Chancellor of the University of ij xford)
was born 29th March, 1799, married 31st May, 1825, Emma
Caroline, second daughter of E,lward, Lord Skelmersdale,
and has Edward Henry, Lord Stanley, M.P., born July
21st, 1826, Frederick Arthur, born 15th January, 1841, and
Emma Charlotte.

SAVINGS BANKS AND FRIENDLY SOCIETIES,— On
Saturday the act to make further provision with respect to
moneys received from savings banks and friendly societies
was printed. The object of this act, which only contains
two sections, is to enable the Government to invest Vac
moneys in all Parliamentary securities. Hitherto the in-
vestments have been confined to Consols. An annual ac-
count is to be laid before Parliament.

A letter from Leipsic announces that that city
was visited by a tremendous hurricane on Monday last,
which caused immense damage. Of 2,300 houses and pub-
lic buildings, there was not one of which the windows were
not broken by large hailstones. There were 900 panes of
glass broken at the Town-hall, and as many at the Post-
office ; 1,800 in the house of the bookseller Brockhaus,
There are 2,000 booksellers in Leipsic, besides numerous
priating establishments, all of which }Ave been closed for
repairs since the storm.
MR. W. S. LINDSAY'S MISSION TO WASHING-
ToN.—A writer, in a letter to a contemporary, says,—The
papers of Saturday and Monday last info,-rra the public that
" Mr. W. S. Lindsay, M.P., has been, authorised to proceed
to Washington, to place before the American Cabinet and
Senate the views of her Majesty's Government with refer-
ence to the existing navigation laws of the States." He is
also' authorised, it would appear; " to enter into negotia-
tions for the opening of the American coasting trade to
British shipping," and to arrive "at a mutual understanding:
respecting belligerent righ's at sea ;" and, further, he is
appointed to effect "a more satisfactory adjustment of the
laws of each country in reference to collisions." One paper
asserts that Mr. Lindsay "is to proceed to Washington as
a special envoy on the part of the British Government."
Truly this is a most important mission-7one before which
that of the Prince of Wales sinks into insignificance. On
this account it is all the more important that the shipping
interest should be accurately informed as to the real nature
of Mr. Lindsay's appointment. According to one paper he
is simply "authorised to proceed to Washington," while
another says he goes, "As a special envoy from the British
Government." With many shippers the question is, has
Mr. Lindsay merely thrust himself on Government and
stated that he was going out to Washington and that he
would endeavour when there to effect a settlement of these
national differences; or is it the fact that the British Go-
vernment has actually sent for Mr. Lindsay and requested ,
him to go out as its "special envoy" to the Cabinet and
Senate of the United States, and supplied him with proper
credentials and power to treat and settle these very impor-
tant points ? Many of the shipping interest think them-
selves entitled to a proper explanation about the ambassa-
dorial " authorisation" with which some papers invest Mr.
Lindsay.

in order to replace another regiment, which will

return to France."

The same journal, says :—The report that Austria
is abc,ut to occupy the Marches and Umbria is with-
out foundation. Austria will confine herself to
repelling any attack which may eventually be made
upon. Venetia. France will protect Rome alone, as
the ar my of General Lamoriciere suffices for the
defence of the Pontifical provinces."
The Pays of this evening states that there is no

requested the Emperor to send French regiments
to garrison the different towns of Lombardy.

tons ion, to engage in anticipation the
pol'it'y of the Emperor, nor the alliance
of :France. But I wished to say that should
•ersal suffrage, free from all foreign influence,
pion ounce itself in my favour, the wishes of the
Pop& dation would doubtless be no less respected at
Nap: les than they have been in the other parts of
Italy .
