A traveller in the West of England states the
number of stacks of corn and hay to be unprecedented ;
that the country is in fact studthd with them. Standing

CHATHADI.— On Friday last we had the
gratification of witnessing the attack and defence of an
entrenched position by the troops of the garrison under the
command of Col. Sir L. GREENWELL, C. B. K. C B.—
The field works thrown up for practice by the Royal En-
cheers doing duty under Col. PALSEY was armed with
field pieces, and manned by detachmints of the 21st Fusil-

1 era, the Royal Artillery, and the Royal Sappers and
Miners, who were charged with the defence of them.—
Toe opposing force was put under cover of some lines
thrown up at a distance, and composed of a part of the
21st R. H. B. Fusilliers, under the command of Colonel
LEAHY, and a detachment of the Royal Artillery, and the
83th and Connaught Rangers, under their respective offi-
cers. A heavy fire was commenced from the works, un-
der which the attacking force advanced two columns, till
they gained the cover frotn broken ground close under
them, where they opened a brisk fire, which was continued
without intermission, until a mine which had been previ-
ously prepared for the instruction of the officers and men
of the Royal Engineers, had exploded under the works
occupied by the defending farce. This was the signal for
attack. The two columns stationed for this service moved
forward, followed by parties of Sappers—one column elicit-
lided the left of the works, whilst the other turned right
of them, and at the same time the 58th advanced ft om the
ground they occupied, and attacked two guns wh ch had
b&en moved into a position to play upon the advancing
column. The contest was then most interesting, and ter-
minated when the defenders were driven from the w-rk'•
Under cover of fire the Sappers made a secure entrench-
ment when the mine was exploded, which appeared to be
one grand object of attack. The hills and adjacent svoAs
were covered with spectators, comprising all the beauty
and fisiiion of the gat rison and neighbOurhood. Atnoog
the distinguished individuals present we noticed the Lola
Bishop of LONDON and family, Earl DARNLEY and a par-
ty, Sir J. HEAD, Bart., 'Major-General Sir 'l'. and Lady
PRITZLAK, the Provost of Oriel arid Mrs. HAWKINS, Col'
BROTHERTON, G. 13.. Col. 'MIDDLETON ell I officers frau'
