MR. R.IREY AT ALDERSHOTT.

G/2

Mr. Rarey, having fully ventilated his new and
ingenious principles of equine education all over
Europe, and more especially in the great cities of
the United Kingdom, in the arena of public exhi-
bition, has now wisely descended into the more
sober realms of practical utility, having commenced
the application of his system to the manage-
ment of horses, and the teaching of riding-
masters and rough riders in her Majesty's
army. We understand that frequent inspections
of Mr. Rarey's mode of managing the horse having
convinced his Royal Highness the Commandec-in-
Chief of the probability of its becoming useful in
military horse-breaking, his Royal Highness de-
termined upon giving that gentleman the oppor-
tunity of making some experiments amongst the
cavalry at Aldershott. Accordingly a class con-
sisting of twenty-five; riding-masters, roughriders,
farriers, and one veterinary surgeon, was put under
his instruction. They have been now for some
weeks receiving practical lessons in his mode of
subduing hitherto intractable animals, rendering
the nervous and timid, bold, and curing individual
horses of certain individual tricks and habits which

rendered them dangerous and difficult to manage
in combined cavalry movements. The class,
although only a few weeks formed, has progressed
under. Mr. Rarey's teaching with wonderful
rapidity, that gentleman having been able in the
first instance to convince all, with the exception
of a few veterans of the manege, of :the simplicity
and soundness of his system.
Men soon learn what they have been in the first
instance convinced is sound and worth learning,
and accordingly the members of Mr. Rarey's class
are now in a very forward state of acquirement, all
being thoroughly convinced that what they are
learning will create a complete and most beneficial
revolution in the whole art of horse training. The
hard word "breaking" will, we trust, soon become
obsolete, when the principle of gentleness once
becomes generally recognised as the only true one
in the management of the horse.
Mr. Rarey's system, when reduced to a creed,
contains only a few and very simple articles. He
first lays it down that a horse can be convinced
mentally, that man is more powerful than himself,
and that having been so convinced he becomes from
henceforth the docile servant of the latter. He en-
deavours to prove this by a simple illustration. If
a horse drawing a heavy load be suddenly stopped
by a deep rut, or slough, or any other obstruction,
he makes two or three desperate plunges to extri-
cate himself, but finding his efforts unavailing, he
then lies down, and no whipping or spurring will
stimulate him tr) any further effort. The same re-
sult is witnessed in the case of an omnibus horse
who falls in the streets of London, when he lies
quietly under the gentlest pressure at his head, and
never attempts to rise until all embarrassing har-
ness, &c., has been removed. Mr. Rarey produces
a similar train of reasoning in the horses' mind by
his system of " casting," that is, of throwing the
horse down by means of the straps, and he contends
that this one painless operation subdues the horse
more effectually than all the years' cruel training
of the old system. This is for intractable horses ;
but for those which are at once gentle and timid, he
prescribes their being made gradually familiar with
everything wt•ich may have been the object of their
alarm by having it slowly brought nearer and
nearer to them until at last they touch it, when
having once touched it and satisfied themselves that
it is innocuous, they lose all fear of it for ever after
—or at least for so long as their memory allows
the impression to remain. All the bad habits of
the horse of civilisation, he alleges to have been
produced by rough and sudden handling
in the commencement, for, the horse being
physically one of the most nervous ani-
mals in the world, is the easiest alarmed by any
rough or sudden. movement. Mr. Rarey began his
course of teaching by impressing these leading
principles on his class, and then proceeded to show
how they were to be carried into practical opera-
tion. And here, perhaps, lay the greatest difficulty.
The intelligent and resolute men with whom he had
to deal were not afraid to attempt anything with
any horse in the world, but it took some time to
teach them—and the teaching is as yet only in pro-
gress—that delicacy of manipulation, and tact, so
to speak, in approaching the horse, form a very full
half of the whole secret. However, they were last
week considered to be so far advanced as to per-
mit of an exhibition of their progress before com-
petent judges. and, accordingly, the whole class
went through their lesson before a committee of
cavalry officers in the Riding School at Aldershott,
on Saturday last.
It was expected that his Royal Highness the
Commander-in-Chief would have been present, but
at the last moment a telegraph announced that im-
portant business detained s Royal Highness in
town. The officers present were Major-General Sir
J. Y. Scarlett, Col. E. C. Hodge, 4th Dragoon
Guards, Colonel R. Parker,
Ist
Life
Lieut.-Col. Maude, Royal orseGads, and
Guardsur H(Blue.)
Mr. J. Wilkinson, veterinary surgeon, attended to
note the effect of the " casting" in accelerating the
pulse of the horses. The first animal experimented
upon was a brown mare belonging to the 10th

strong objection, which rose to a perfect frenzy, if
be ventured to approach her with his bather apron
on. Whenever she required shoeing great violence,
,including the dreadfully 'painfal "twitch" on the
nose, was invariably necessary; and her.useffilness
as a trooper was thus seriously deteriorated. ,When
first brought out on Saturday her nervous and
fidgetty nature _was soon made manifest by sundry
snortings and tremblings, but a gentle pat on the
neck soon pacified her, after which the- farrier
approached, slowly and deliberately, holding the
obnoxious leather aprOn in his hand. He allowed
her to smell it, touch it with her nose, and 'after-
wards to feel it rubbed gentlY along her neck, after
which all that was necessary was to put it. on and
go to work. The whol6 action of shoeing was then
simulated with hammer and nails, and the hitherto
, fractious mare •:submitted to the process with the
greatest steadiness and:propriety. Two other mares,
a bay and a Chesnut, both belonging to the same
regiment, were subsequently exhibited. The first
had a similar pr,.judice as to shoeing, and the other
had a habit of 14king violently when being saddled
or mounted. Both had now evidently been reduced
to a perfect state of docility, the first submitting to
the farrier Without a .start, and' the second, having
first had the saddle shown to her, and having be6n al-
lowed to touch it, permitted it to be put on at once,
when the riding-master mounted and dismounted se-
veral times without the slightest resistance on her
part. After this some horses, new to theprocess, were
very successfully throWn with the strap by different
riding-masters. Mr. Day, sth. Dragoon Guards, had
a tough tussle with a powerful bay, who evidently
had a strong inherent dislike to the procumbent
posture, and jerhaps the operator, this being his
first appearance in presence of the general, was also
a little nervous.
_Bid he ultimately overcame all
resistance, and floored hishorse in a very satisfactory
manner. Mr. Hessey, of the Ist Life Guards, a
much larger and more powerful man, and evi-
dently of greaten experience, fol ..)wed with a black,
and with much speedier success. His horse was
down in a moment, and it was remarked in both
cases that the'horses, on resuming their legs, did
not exhibit the slightest symptoms of distress.- Mr.
Wilkinson felt the pulses of both immediately' fter
their tumble, and found the acceleration to be by
n.) means. considerable. . A few .more trials were
subsequently made with varying success according
to the nerve and dexterity of the pupil tumbler, and
finally, the first horse (who had so strong an objec-
tion to being shod) was taken to the forge and had
shoes actually nailed on in presence of the com-
mittee, who required this test in order to assure
themselves that the treatment was successful. Dur-
ing the exhibitidn General 'Scarlett and the com-
mittee -asked—severat pertinent. questions, Mit ex-
pressed no opinion, their intention being, we under-
stood, to transmit a report of their inspection to the
Commander.in-Qhief.. Mr. Rarey was present dur-
ing the whole of the experiments, but he did not
in the slightest degree interfere with the riding-
masters or rough-rders, both of whom lie considers
to have exhibited extraordinary aptitude in learn-
ing his system.

LLOYD'S OCEAN TELEGRAPH.

There was exhibited at Lloyd's on Saturday, liy
permission of the committee, a new code of signal
telegraphs for the ocean marine service, invented
and patented by Mr. William IL Ward, of America,
by the adoption of which on board the Cunard line
of steamers and the lighthouses on Cape Race, New-
foundland, and Cape Clear,' Ireland; news' to and
from America and England will be obtained in the
reduced space of five days, as thus :—A steamer
leaving New York Son a "Wednesday arrives off the
Cape Race lighthouse on. the Sunday following, and
receives .from it the telegraph. summary of news
from New York of the .previons. day (Saturday).
She makes the run from thCnee' to the Cape Clear
light in five dars,munely, on the Friday following,
and communicates the news she received at Cape
Race, which is then transmitted to Liverpool and
all parts of Ettrope.
The means by which this great advance in our
communication to, and from America is attainable
consists in a remarkably simple and most efficient
apparatus, in the shape of five lights in the shape
.of a diamond or e::os,s, reflected through powerful
reflectors, observable at a distance of five to ten
miles. It is by the number of combinations
obtained that messages are despatched, and so
simple and easy is the whale affair that a boy can
attain a mastery of it in half an hour. These lights
are for night telegraphing.
Mr. Ward also exhibited a new shape of flags for
day signals, so perfect in their operations that they
must supersede those now in use. They are in the
shape of an acute angle, or three-corned elongated
at one end, and in consequence of which while in a
breeze they float out clear and distinct ; they also
in a dead calm fall, or hang suspended, in a way
which at once denotes their number, and conse-
quently there is no difficulty as at present by the
flags in use deciphering their character, and conse-
quently there is no delay in communicating signals
between-ships or points on land.
To both army and navy, and the mercantile ma-
rine theSe two systems of telegraphic signals will
prove most useful and advantageous.

SUPPOSED SUICIDE IN THE SER-
PENTINE. •

Last Saturday night an investigation took place
before Mr. Langham, deputy-coroner for West-
minster, at the Board Room of the Workhouse, St.
George's, Hanover-square, on view of the body of
the unknown woman who was found floating on the
Serpentine on Wednesday eveninglast, and removed
while still breathing to the Receiving-house of the
Royal Humane Society, where she died from the
effects of drowning at 10 o'clock the following
morning. The body of the deceased has since been
identified by her relations as Emma Williams, a
seamstress, 20 years of age, in theemployment of a
Mrs. Roland, 68, Great Titchfield-street, Marvle-
bone. As it appeared from the evidence of various
witnesses, the case was an extremely melancholy
one, and a married sister, who was present at the
inquiry, suffered great distress of mind, and fre-
quently burst into paroxysms of grief. The de-
ceased was an orphan, of a naturally cheerful dis-
position, steady, and respectable; but, as her rela-
tions were poor, she was compelld to get her liv-
ving as a seamstress, and toiled constantly at her
needle from 12 to 10 hours daily with her late cm-
...

ployer for the past five years. She earned, upon an

boarded and lodged at 30, University-street, 75. per
week. Recently she complained very much of her
eyes, and occasionally had been somewhat depressed
in spirits in consequence of their weakness, and
at times told her sister that if they should fail
her, as she feared they would, she could not
tell what she should do for a living, as she then
would be prevented from following her occupation,
and had no one in the wide world to depend upon,
and, according to the statement of her sister, she
worked very hard to keep herself respectable.
About an hour and a half previous to the time she
was found in the Serpentine she left her work in
her usual good health and spirits, and about three
minutes before the supposed rash act she was seen
by a young man named Bollinot, walking rapidly
across the bridge of the Serpentine from the direc-
tion of Kensington. It was very dark and foggy at
the time, and in consequence he lost sight of her
almost immediately she passed him, but believed
she jumped into the river from one of the bridge
parapets, as his attention and that of others near
the scene was fire t attracted by a loud splash. Ver-
dict, "Deceased died from the effects of drowning,
but how she got into the water there NV 0,3 not suffi-

THE SUN.

MONDAY, AUGUST 22, 1859.

The happiest augury for Italy is discoverable in
every stage of the progress made the Central States
towards their political emancipation. Tuscany—
Parma—Modena—abandoned each and all of them
by their Grand Ducal Sovereigns, have each and all
evidenced the noblest right to independence of
action in the choice of a new Government. De-
prived suddenly of all the guarantees of order they
have signalized the emergency in a manner worthy
of a body of enlightened freemen, resolved upon
vindicating their inalienable title to the privilege
of choosing tneir future rulers for themselves. It
is a crisis that they have all three nobly passed
through under the two extremes of a fierce and
gigantic war, and of an abrupt and questionable
pacification. In spite of all the disturbing influ-
ences around them they have never once either
literally or figuratively lost their self-possession.
The judgment of the Tuscans, of the Parmese, and
of the Modenese has remained serene, rational, and
unshaken throughout. Armed contingents have
marched across their territories, have advanced
beyond their northern frontiers, have come almost
within sight and sound of the actual belligerents—
these contingents have been unexpectedly debarred
(at a moment the most tantalising) from the heroic
privilege of crossing swords with the foe for the
liberation of their common fatherland—they have
been marched back again without having been able
to strike a blow, or to burn upon the actual field
of battle a single ounce of gunpowder. Central
Italy, in fact, has been, first of all, excited to the
utmost pitch of warlike enthusiasm, and in the very
midst of this immediately afterwards constrained
to adopt an unexpected policy of complete
quiescence. The populations of Tuscany, of Parma,
and of Modena, have, in other words, been
successively warmed to fever heat and chilled to a
state of arctic refrigeration—yet the pulse of that
part of the projected Confederation has been throb-
bing all the while equably. The popular feeling of
those Central States has continued through all these
events undisturbed.

There have been, moreover, in the Central States
of Italy—besides the warlike inarchings and the
peaceful countermarchings already mentioned—
there have been elections, there have been debates,
there have been public festivities in the midst of the
campaign of Solferino and others celebrated subse-
quently to the meeting at Villafranca. Yet from the
commencement to the conclusion of those occurrences
there has not been recorded anywhere in ihose
Central States a solitary outrage. Not one disaster
appears to have followed from the withdrawal from
Florence and the other capitals of the petty
dynasties and of their subordinate administrative
organisation. Not one assassination—not one act
of incemliarism —not a robbery—not an emeute has
resulted from the sudden shaking down of the
whole fabric of the local governments. The citi-
zens have been compelled upon the spur of the
moment to improvise from among themselves—
army—national guard—police--legislators—admi-
nistrators. How theyhave done all this during these
last few months we all know—we have already inti-
mated—Europe has beheld the spectacle with ad-
miration. The opportunity has, at least, been
afforded—at last—to those portions of the great
Italian faraii y. And gloriously have they availed
themselves of that opportunity. Their conduct in
this we cannot but regard as auspicious, in, the
fullest sense of the phrase, not only for themselves
but for the whole length and breadth of that
beautiful and historic peninsula.

GARIBALDI, now that he has me<] the position
there of Commander-in-Chief of the forces of Central
Italy may be said in .a very great measure, and
without one particle of exaggeration, to have at
this .momentous epoch, at his very foot, the destinies
of thil Italian nationality. He occupies there, in
that particular capacity as Commander-in-Chief
of the forces of Central ltaly, the position
of on c who stands midway on the plank of
Libert ,y--now still oscillating from the shock
admin;.s tered to it by the rivalry of the two
Empera rs—a rivalry to all appearance at the
beginnit 'g of the campaign pretty well equipoised.
To care • out the simile—the plank has been shifted
(during ,the late campaign) by the breadth of all
Lombardy.! And this shifting, it may be remem:
bered, was effected not so much by a see-saw
motion of att./ kind, so much as by a rapid run off
from tb e 'Reim to the Mincio, with more or less
f ormia able jolts successively at Montebello, at
P aler. Aro, at Magenta, and at Solferino. Finally
the: 0 beam is left balancing anew upon the signal

given by that abrupt obstruction to any further
movement (whether of advance or of retrogression)
at Villafranca. In this new position of the long
and still unequally and unsteadily balanced plank
of the Roman Peninsula—there is GARIBALDI
standing Colossus-wise midway—placed there in
precisely the very position, where, by leaning more
or less to one side or the other, he may effectually
sway the destinies of his glorious father-
land. It is an enviable position—and it is one,
moreover, of solemn responsibility. Fortunately,
from his antecedents, there cannot remain much
doubt as to the course which is likely to be adopted
in this crisis of the destinies of his country by
General GARIBALBI. All around him, are noble
and worthy coadjutors. A gallant army—small,
it is true, but admirably disciplined, and burning
with eagerness to flesh their swords, if need be,
at some Italian Marathon. A patriotic legislature,
composed of the most gifted, the most powerful,
and the most illustrious citizens of the several
States. A bold and determined Ministry. A calm
and resolute population. These are the political
elements surrounding GARIBALDI, ready, each and
all of them, to co-operate in any enterprise he may
deem advisable when the moment for it may
arrive. As Commander-in-Chief we cannot, with
his past history before us, doubt that GARIBALDI
will—should those elements be driven into tem-
pest—prove himself under qualified any emerency,
however desperate, to—
" Ride on the whirlwind and direct the storm."
At either extremity of that long plank, upon which
(to revert to our homely image) he stands midway
—at either extremity of it there is in one direction
Naples, the political ally of Austria, and in the
other Piedmont, not only the political ally of
France, but her dynastic associate and her heroic
comrade on the battlefield. In this situation of
the Beam of Liberty in the Roman Peninsula, we
see the indubitable auguries of hope for Italy and
the Italians. GARIBALDI, there at the critical
moment, ready most effectively, Brennus-like, to
throw his sword into the scale—we have more
than ever confidence in the future of Italy, if only
the Italians be left to themselves.

Wherever kingcraft without one heroic attribute
is more dominant than it ought to be, it is surpris-
ing how little importance is attached to the life of
the individual who claims to be its representative.
Scarcely any interest at all has been felt in regard
to the successive deaths, recently, of the King of
NORWAY and SWEDEN, and of the King of the Two
SICILIES. Royal though their position, they have
gone to their graves obscurely, and beyond the circle
of their own immediate families there is scarcely a
sigh heard for either OSCAR or FERDINAND.
The same dull track to the tomb is now being tra-
versed by the faineant King of PRUSSIA, now
slowly and obscurely dying unregretted in that
palace of the house of Oldenburgh, called by an
absurd misnomer Sans Souci. It is only where
monarchy acquires an undue predominance that
the state herald can announce with a tone of indif-
ference—Le _Roi est inort—Vire le _Rol ! The
funeral toll of the bourdon mingling there, as a
mere matter of course, with the clash of joy
bells for the successor. Contrast the indifference
recently experienced at Naples and at Christiana
and that which is now observable at Berlin, with
the profound emotions that would be excited nearer
home by a similar catastrophe—against which the
whole nation, Sunday after Sunday, in every
place of public worship, offers up its heartfelt
prayers to HEAVEN, Kingcraft, without the
redeeming, or at least mitigating, trait of
heroism, places the chief and the nation
in hateful antagonism. Under a constitutional
monarchy the individuality of the Sovereign, so
far from being lost or merged in the cold ideal of
an institution, is taken home into the hearts and
lives beside the hearths of the people, as among
their cherished lures. To recognise the vivid truth
of this, it is only needful—without drawing any
unnecessarily painful comparison—it is only need-
ful to contrast the recent deaths of OSCAR of
Sweden, and of FERDINAND of the Two Sicilies, or
this gradually on-coming death of FREDERICK
WILLIAM of Prussia, with that demise of the
Princess CHARLOTTE, which, forty years ago, was
mourned almost as a domestic affliction thrOugh-
out the millions of our population.
