received by an Orange master in a different direction ofef
the country. The neighbourhood has been consequently
kept in a state of disquiet and alarm, and the peaceable
inhabitants were obliged to supply themselves with
arms and ammunition, and are, and have been for some
time, in nightly expectation of an attack. Such being
the disquieted state of the surrounding neighbourhood,
a crisis was confidently expected on the evening of the
sth. About twilight the sound of a drum was heard to
echo from the entrance to the town. In an instant
everyone ran in the direction of the town. The drumming
party were met by a body of the police under head-con-
stable Scott, of Portadown, who it is presumed warned
them of the impropriety of their proceedings. However
they beat the drum down and up the town, and a great
crow :I followed them ; they ultimately departed the way
they came in, without any further disturbance. The
town was then allowed to remain in a state of tran-
quility never before experienced on the fair nigh't of

THE COAL-FIELDS OF AMERICA.—From a recent essay
on this subject, by Professor H. Rogers, it appears that
the coal-fields of North America comprise a surface of
at least 200,000 square miles. The following shows the
extent of those in Europe :--England, 5,000 ; France,
1,183 ; Belgium, 592 ; Rhenish Prussia and Sarrebruck,
923, Westphalia, 365; Bohemia, 384 ; Saxony, 30 ; As-
turias (Spain), 122; Russia, 96 square miles. Hence it
appears that the American soil alone contains a coal
surface at least 20 times larger than that of Europe.
Admitting the extent of all the coal-fields on the surface
of the globe to be two millions of square miles, and
supposing each stratum to be on an average 7 yards in
thickness, all the coal of the earth collected into one
mass would form a cube 20 miles in length, breadth, and
altitude. As regards production, we find that the greatest
amount of surface by no means coincides with the largest
quantity produced ; for England annually brings into
the market 65 millions of toss, while the United States
do not bring more than 9 millions of tons ; Belgium
produces 5 millions, and France only 4i millions of tons.
YOUNG ENGLAND.—Much regret has of late been ex-
pressed in respect to the amost universal neglect of
youthful military ardour. In Continental schools lads
and young men from 12 years of age ere, as a part of
their education, required to attend in uniform a class
for drill and other military exercises. The necessity for
the adoption in England of a similar custom is now
seriously contemplated, particularly in those academies
where the sons of gentlemen are placed. To supply the
necessary want, Messrs. Nicoll have prepared plans for
uniform, and at their new establishment, Warwick
House, 142 and 144, Regent-street, have opened a
register ,or retired non-commissioned officers of good
character to aid principals of schools in the formation of
drill classes. This new department is an adjunct to the
manufacture of gentlemen's clothing, arried on by this

THE MONETARY PRESSURE IN IRELAND.

The Dublin journals, or at least the majority
of them, are just now exercising their influence
in the tight direction, and are making every legi-
timate effort to prevent the occurrence of a mone-
+ary panic in the country parts of Ireland. The
Freeman of Tuesday morning led the way in a
sensible article tending to calm the excitement
consequent upon the recent unprecedented advance
in the rate of discount. The Evening Post follows
in the same creditable course, and concludes a rather
lengthened review of the state of the money-markets
in England and Ireland in these terms :
" We have heard that the Bank of England during
the whole of this excitement has not in any instance re-
fused legitimate accommodation to its customers. The
Bank of Ireland, it is well known in commercial circles,
has not in the least degree decreased those facilities it has
been in the habit of affording ; and the Irish banks gene-
rally, we know, have acted with the utmost degree of
liberality consistent with prudence. As regards the home
I trade, theiwhole question. is the difference between a
higher and a lower charge in the percentage for interest
during this temporary pressure—a difference, even if it
I lasted for three months, which it most probably will not,
that would not amount to more than 20s. or 25s upon
a9l days' bill for 1001. This in all transactions, large
and small, would be some curtailment of profits ; but let
it be remembered that the Bank of Ireland and the other
banks accommodate their customers as usual, that there
is no curtailment of discounts, no interference with the
legitimate operations of trade ; and further let this be
borne in mind, that any limitation of discounts by the
banks, even for a single day, would produce far greater
loss and public injury than the whole amount paid by
the public in the chaps of increased rates of interest.
"It is clear, thee, that
_the policy pursued by the
banks is wise and thoroughly sound, because it is the
sure mode of guarding the public and protecting trade
and mercantile credit from interruption. We trust that
this will be distinctlyunderstood all through the country,
because it will prevent all undue greestire for accommo-
dation at the banks. There are ample means for all the
legitimate necessities of trade, and the banks are allowing
such fair letitude in that respect that complete quiet and
confidence prevail in this island, affording a striking
contrast with other countries. We base no doubt what
ever that this fortunate state of affairs will notations,
because tie admirable conduct of the banks, aided by
the good sense of the community and the' prosperous
condition of the country, has enabled us to carry on all
the operations of mercantile enterprise and industry as
vigorously and as safely as if New York were as free
from panic as Dublin or Cork. If the case were different
—if ' fools rushed in' with greedy desire to possess money
which they could not require, arid if through such means
any extra pressure were created, the banks would be
compelled to act on the defensive, and to limit accom-
modation to such an extent that the consequences might
be disastrous even to the parties whose rash conduct had
caused all the evil. But fortunately there is not the least
likelihood of such an interruption in the progress of
Ireland in that course of agricultural, commercial, and
industrial advancement which has in recent years signa-
lized her moving as steadily on towards prosperity as
any other country on the face of the globe."

THE MONETARY CRISIS.-1101V THE LATE
SIR JOHN SINCLAIR SAVED GLASGOW.

While in the midst of the terrible monetary
crisis which has overtaken ns, the following ex-
tract from the "Memoirs of the late Sir John
Sinclair, Bart.," published by the Messrs. Oham-
bore, of Edinburgh, will be read with the deepest
interest. It shows how that eminent philanthropist
and enlightened man commercially saved Glasgow
in the great crisis of 1793 :
" No one who lived in his house could remember a day,
till Sir John was above 80, in which. he was not able
and ready for active exertion, chiefly in the public ser-
vice ; and the inventive genius which he frequently dis-
played astonished even his friend Mr. Pitt. None of his
numerous suggestions was more useful than one which he
threw out the commercial crisis of 1793, for the relief of
the suffering merchants. At that time, in consequence
of the stagnation of trade produced by the war, the
number of bankruptcies exceeded all that had pre-
viously occurred in the meat calamitous times. Sir John,
with great difficulty, obtained the consent of Parliament
that notes from the Exchequer, to the amount of five
millions, should be issued immediately, as a loan to such
merchants as could give seuurity ; and be also offered,
without receiving any remuneration, to carry out his
own plan, with the assistance of Lord Sheffield, Mr.
Wilberforce, Sir William Pulteney, and Mr. Thornton,
who bad consented to tot as a committee.
" Many of the first houses in Manchester and Glasgow
were tottering, not from want of property, but from the
temporary stagnation of sales and of credit. Sir John,
therefore, immediately after carrying his motion in
Parliament, borrowed, on his own personal security, the
sum of 70,0001., which he despatched to the merchants
the morning after the vote was granted. Mr. Coutts
advanced Sir John a lean of 20.0001., and Mr. Devaynes
lent 10,0001. Pitt, meeting Sir John next evening in
the house, expressed great regret that the pressing wants
of Manchester and Glasgow could not be supplied so
soon as their urgent difficulties required, and added,
The money cannot be raised for some days.' It is
already gone 1 It left London by to-night's mail,' was
Sir John's triumphant reply ; and in relating this anec-
dote, he used to add, with a smile of pleasure, Pitt was
as much starlted as if I had stabbed him.'
The good effect of lending Exchequer Rills ex-
ceeded the hopes of its very sanguine adviser, for em-
barrassment ceased, credit was re-established ; and Sir
John's scheme not only cost nothing to the country,
but actually brought a profit to nation, after the whole
loan had been thankfully repaid, of above 4,0001. It
is difficult now to imagine such a thing as the utter
ruin of Glasgow and Manchester ; but unquestionably
it was then believed that but for the plan suggested
by Sir John Sinclair, that event must have taken place."
We believe there are few instances on record
of such a combination of statesmanlike sagacity,
energy of character, and generosity of nature, as
was exhibited in the person of the late Sir John
Sinclair. Scotland had, indeed, reason to be
proud of such a son while he lived, and has no
less reason to venerate his memory now that he
sleeps with his fathers. When he died, she lost
one of her best friends and greatest benefactors.

THE SOUTH WALES BAILWAY

COLLISION.

The inquest SWANSEA, Nov. 11.
on Mr. Ashman eras continued and
concluded last evening before Mr. Collins, the
Swansea coroner.
The jury,
after considerable discussion, returned
verdicts of " Ahnslaughter" against Edgar Evans,
the clerk, and Henry Barney, the porter at Port
Talbot station, and against Charles White, the sta-
tion-master at Stormy. They also added the fol-
lowing :

"The jury also wish to express their sentiments with
reference to the highly blameable conduct of Mr. Henry
Turner, the station-master of Port Talbot, in having in•
cautiously started the up-passenger train from Port Ta-
lbot before ascertaining whether any farther telegraphic
consraunication had taken place between Stormy and
that station, more particularly 113 to whether the message
he ordered to he sent to Stormy had been duly sent and
acknowledged. The jury also desire to express censure
upon the South Wales Railway Company for not em-
ploying persons at their stations properly qualified and
competent to work and duly understand the telegraph.
The aiva
jury also gtegla: after the tender of each
9
effects in case of any future collision, that a luggage-van
should be
placeddesiirme
mtoed in order to lessen the
train."
We should mention that Mr. White, the station-
master of Stormy, was only admitted to bail in the
case of the first inquest on Saturday last. On that
day the depositions taken on the Neath inquest
having been laid before Mr. Justice Cresswell iu
chambers, he carefully went through themand gave
an order to a magistrate in the county of Bucks,
where Mr. White was temporarily residing with
his friends, to admit him to bail, himself in 501.,
and two sureties in 251. each.
Mr. Tripp, of Swansea, and Mr. Cottenham, of
London, again attended the inquiry on behalf of
the South Wales Railway Company. Mr. Owen,
of Pontypool, for the deceased, and Mr. White,
Ben., for his son, the station-mater at Stormy.
The trials are expected to take place at a winter
assize to be held at Swansea.

Accounts from Brazil state that some persona having
purchased for 100,000 fr. a large French merchant ship,
called La France, which ran ashore some months ago in
the Bay of Bahia, and has remained there ever since, are
about to endeavour to raise her. The Brazilian Govern-
ment has placed at their disposal six large vessels, and
they are now having made at Marseilles 5,000 yards of
sailcloth, which they propose to pass under the hull, as
it is raised from the water, so as to stop the boles iu the
bottom.
The Es p r ctn ce
y
of the 7th states that
on the
previous
Petites Seeurs des Pauvres, accompanied by one of the
evening,
sisterhood, was returning to the establishment in the
of Nane
es the supericure of the
Faubourg St. Pierre, they were suddenly assailed by a
band of about a dozen children under 15 years of age,
and in the midst of the most savage vociferations pelted
with mud and other missiles is such a manner that when
they reached home their clothes were covered with filth.
The journal expresses astonishment at this outrage com-
mitted onfemales whose lives are devoted to acts of charity,
and who themselves submit to every privation rather
than that the poor shall suffer. It also expresses a hope
that the police will speedily discover the miscreants who
excited these children to such an act.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

Admiral Lord Lyons, with the squadron of four
liners under his command, arrived at Malta on the

The entire of the 69th Regiment, except one
officer and 50 men, have orders to proceed to India
by the overland route. At Suez they will embark
for Madras or Bombay. _ _

The whole of the Queen's forces in India up to
the 29th ult., according to official returns amounted
to 33,660. In the Bengal Presidency there were :
Cavalry (6th Carbineers and 9th Lancers), 1,317 ;
Infantry (including 3d, 82d, and 93d), 23,450;
Artillery, 67 ; and Engineers (23d company), 126 ;
total, 24,960. The troops ordered to the Presi-
dency and on their passage thither consists of—
Cavalry, 2,159 ; Infantry, 12,616 ; Artillery,
2,711; and Engineers, 252 ; total, 17,738. In the
Madras Presidency—Cavalry, (12th Lancers),
1,305 ; Infantry (43d and 74th) 2,122 ; on passa,,,e
or under orders—lnfantry (44th and 66th) 1,605 ;
and Artillery (under orders), 301. In the Bombay
Presidency there were—Cavalry (12th Lancers and
14th Light Dragoons), 1,012 ; Infantry, 5,200 ;

1,677 ; Infantry, (including the 94th), 6,021 ; Ar-
tilery, 712 ; and Engineers (overland), 246. It will
be seen from the abovethat up to the 29th ult 28,300
was the number of troops on passage to the East
Indies, making the grand total of the Queen's forces
India and en route 61,960. The East India Corn-
pany's•European troops in India amount to 18,260

The finding of the general court-martial which
assembled at Chatham garrison several months since
for the trial of Lieut. Colonel J. Clarke. Ist West
India Regiment, was promulgated yesterday. The
charges on which Colonel Clarke was arraigned
were :-1. For insubordinate conduct, in having at
Tower-hill Barracks, Sierra Leone, on the 6th of
March, 1857, disobeyed the lawful commands of
Lieut.-Colonel S. J. Hill, 2d West India Regiment,
commanding the troops at Sierra Leone and its de-
pendencies,his superior officer, in refusing to em-
bank on board her Majesty's steamer Perseverance,
and proceed with a detachment of his corps to
Bathurst, Gambia, although detailed in general
orders and warned by the Brigade-Adj utant, Lieut.
J. Watson, 3d West India Regiment. 2. For in-
subordinate conduct at Government-house, Sierra
Leone, on the 6th of March, 1857, during an inter-
view with Lieut.-Colonel S. J. Hill, 2d West In-
dia Regiment, commanding the troops at Sierra
Leone and its dependencies, in having then and
there stated he would not embark on board her
Majesty's steamer Perseverance, nor would he obey
any orders given by Lieut.-Colonel S. J. Hill to
command the troops at Sierra Leone, he being ex-
clusively the civil governor of the said colony of
Sierra Leone, or words to that effect. 3. For
insubordinate conduct at the time and
place mentioned in the second charge, in
having disputed the command of Lieu-
tenant-Colonel S. .1. Hill, commanding the troops
at Sierra Leone and its dependencies, his superior
officer, in having refused to allow him elf to be
placed under arrest; and, further, in having stated
to Lieut.-Col. S. J. Hill that he did not re cognise
the right of the said Lieut.-Col. J. S. Hill to place
him in arrest, or exercise any military authority or
command over him, he being exclusively the civil
governor of the colony of Sierra Leone, or words to
that effect. 4. For insubordinate conduct in having
at the time and place mentioned in the second
charge, when placed under arrest, and told that the
next senior officer would be placed in command of
his corps, stated to Lieut.-Col. S. J. Hill that that
officer would not take or assume the command of
the corps, for that none of the officers of the detach-
ment of the Ist West India Regiment would receive
or obey any orders given by the said Lieut.-Col. S.
J. Hill. 5. For beginning a mutiny, in having,
when stationed at Tower-hill Barracks, on or about
the 6th, 7th, or Bth of March, 1857, caused disobe-
dience and resistance to the lawful authority of the
commanding-officer, by advising and directing Cap-
tain J. S. Macaulay and Captain C. W. Pearson,
Ist West India Regiment, sotto obey the commands
of Lieut.-Col. S. J. Hill. The members of the
Court have found Colonel Clarke not guilty of the
first, third, fourth, and fifth °charges, but guilty of
the second charge, for which the Court directed him
to be reprimanded. In addition to this, however,
the Duke of Cambridge has superseded Col. Clarke
by nominating another officer to the death vacancy
of the second lieutenant-co lonelcy in his regiment,
and ordered him to proceed to the settlement of
Gambia as a punishment, a small detachment of his
regiment being stationed there. Colonel Clarke
has thrown up his commission and retired from the
service.
The following reinforcements will leave Chatham

On Tuesday evening a party of 90 recruits arrived
at Chatham, chiefly from the Loudon district,. for
the purpose of joining the various depots of the
Indian battalions.

Recruiting for the 12 additional battalions of
infantry is progressing satisfactorily. The numbers
enlisted and now in training average nearly 600
each battalion.

The severe distress now 011601111 g at Woolwichs
among the wives and children of the soldier
despatched on active service to India has in-
duced a number of ladies of the garrison to
form themselves into a committee, with the view
of cbllecting subscriptions for the immediate relief
of the most necessitous. Major-General Sir W. F.
Williams yesterday made an application to the Lord
Mayor for permission to devote to the same object
the funds collected by the Indian Relief Committee
at Woolwich, and a concert will shortly be given
in the Arsenal, the proceeds of which will be simi-
larly applied. The ladies have already collected
the sum of 3051., including a donation of 1001. from
Mr. Prater, the army clothier.
Rear-Admiral Sir Henry J. Leeke has arrived
from Calcutta, having made a abort stay at Alexan-
dria on his way home. The gallant officer has re-
signed his appointment of Superintendent of the
Inian Navy, which he has held since 1851.
Comm an der R. G. Craigie was yesterday appointed
to the Desperate.
Her Majesty's paddlewheel steamer Triton, Lieut.
Commander Burton, now at Greenhithe, has been

THE MILITIA.
The permanent staff and depot of the 2d Derby
Militia (Chatsworth Rifles) has been inspected by
Colonel Douglas, the Inspecting Field Officer of
Militia, who expressed himself much pleased with
all he saw, and stated that he should make a most
favourable report. This regiment has given a
large number of men to the Line during the last
two months, and yet at the recent payment of the
annual bounty it was ascertained to be within some
20 men of its complenient. These will be easily
got should the services of the regiment be lequired.

A letter from Galatz states that the engineers of the
Ottoman Government have just ordered the execution of
the works necessary for clearing the bar of the Sulina of
the hulls of the vessels which were lately wrecked there.
A. fresh channel has been opened for vessels until this
impediment has been cleared away.
APPLICATION TO ♦DHIT MR. H. S. BRIGHT, OF HULL,
TO BAIL.--Yesterday an application was made to Mr.
Justice Crompton at chambers, to admit to bail Mr.
H. S. Bright, merchant, of Hull, and formerly chair-
man of the Hull Flax and Cetton-mill Company, a
bankrupt, and now a prisoner on several charges of
forgery. After bearing the application, which was
urged on the ground of the prisoners illness, and that
his personal attendance was necessary in the examine•
tion of the numerous books and voluminous coma
pondence of his own firm and that of the company, to
enable him to prepare his defence, Mr. Justice Cromp-
ton declined to make the order in the first instance,
considering the affidavits, but made an order for a writ
of certiorari to issue, directing the magistrates to send
up the depositions, that he might see the exact nature
of the charge and the evidence, and also granted a
summons to show cause why the prisoner should not
be admitted to bail.

THE CAMP AT ALDEKSHOT.

Though the routine fielddays at Aldershot, when
two or three times a week in the summer the un-
happy enemy was driven half--way to Winchester,
are now over, yet the large importation of militia-
men into the camp has rendered extra drill most
necessary ; advantage is therefore taken of every-
tolerably fins day to give the men a smart breath-
ing across the hills and valleys.
Yesterday the scale of operations was rather en-
larged, and the forces of the camp were mustered
for a sudden general attack upon a neighbouring
military institution—the Cadets' College at Send-
hurst This plan involved manoeuvres of all kinds,
and required the assistance of the three branches
of the service, and as the first step was a march of
some 7 or 8 mile, the whole force was under arms
in camp by 8 o'clock. The troops were in heavy
marching order ; each man carrying so many rounds
of blank cartridge, and apparently a good many
rounds of ammunition of a more pleasant kind in
their haversacks. Some waggons accompanied the
troops with barrels of beer for their further support
duriez the fatigue of the attack. There were se

The whole force marched from camp along the
road to Farnborough, anti so on through Frimley
to Sandhurst, where it arrived shortly before 11.
The day was Unusually fine, the sun bright and
clear, the air keen but bracing, and the mists that
lay about in and among the trees and valleys only
,added greater variety to the picturesqueness of the
scene. A very large concourse of visitors from the
surrounding neighbourhood had assembled in the
-grounds round the College, which were freely
thrown open to all corners, and from which the
best view of the proceedings could be gained.
The attacking force outnumbered the cadets by
50 to 1, for the latter, who were divided into three
companies, were not 200 strong, and were only
assisted by some 15 or 20 cavalry, with a party of
engineers to work their four small guns. Never-
theless, the little band. put a bold face on the matter;
they had already entrenched themselves, and now
stood firm, hopeless of victory, but determined to
fight for it. The nature of their position may ba
soon told. The large sheet of ornamental water in
front of the College terminates at either end in a
broad a deep canal, crossed by several bridges,
which of course formed the keys of their whole
position. Their force was divided into three bodies
—the extreme right, under Captain Dickens, csccu-.
pied the skirt of the wood on the road near Forest-
lodge. The centre, under Major Man, held
the York Town avenue in advance of the lake
bridge, the head of which wag defended by a strong
gabionade and chevattx de-frisc. The main body on
the left under Col. Scott, occupied the wood in front
of King's-bridge, with a small party holding a very
narrow structure, called the Chinese-bridge. But
King's-bridge was the main point, and was defended
by a chevaux-de-frise and abattis, in rear of which
again was a strong work called Adam's redoubt,
strengthened with a stockade and mined with a
heavy charge of powder. In rear of all was the Old
Flagstaff Battery, the cadet's last resource and ral-
lying point. Lieut.-General Sir H rry Jones com-
manded the Sandhurst forces in chief. The Camp
forces, under Major-General Kuollys, advanced to
the attack in two main divisions, the right under
Major-General Lord W. Paulett, consisting of two
companies of Engineers with the pontoons, part of
the 4th Light Dragoons, a troop of Horse Artillery,
a field battery, the 22,1 Regt: the 4th Middlesex
and Royal Wiltshire Militia Regiments. The centre
body, under Major-General the Hon. A. Spencer,
consisted of a field battery, the 15th and 90th Re-
giments, and the 4th Lancashire Militia. The Berks
Militia, assisted by a portion of the cavalry under
Major-General Laurenson, threatened on the left.
The plan of attack was a feint on the right of the
College position at Forest-lodge—a real attack on
the 1.4 t at King's-bridge, to be followed and sup-
ported by an attack on the centre from York Town.

- The affair commenced with a skiimishin.g fire on
the right, which continued for some time, now risin g
to the noisy dignity of a regular fusillade, and the
again dropping to a mere random shot at long inter-
vals. Vedettes scoured about, but the nature of the
ground was against good reconnoitring, and thick
woods almost completely concealed their movements
and preparations on the right and centre. Under
cover of these, and protected by their skirmishers in
front, the main attack advanced against King's-
bridge, where-they were encountered in the wood
by the cadets, and a heavy fire instantly commenced.
This, as more and more of the Camp forces came
into action, was maintained with additional vigour
each moment, and at last swelled into a long-
sustained rattle, which instantly showed the
non-professional public where the great onset was,
and thither they flocked accordingly. The cadets
made a long fight of it, disputing every inch of
ground, and makingevery brake and tree a tempo-
rary lodgment for their sharpshooters. At length
the superiority of numbers of the enemy compelled
them to give way and retire under the abattis at
the King's-bridge. This they did in good order,
still fighting as they retreated. The shots now re-
sounded from every part of the wood, which was
filled with a dense smoke, amid which the masses
of the enemy were almost hidden, until, overcom-
ing all obstacles, they emerged on the banks of the
canal in front of the abattis and chevaux-de-frise.
These held them in check for a considerable time.
While the attack upon it was pressed with vigour,
and orders were sent to hurry up the field battery
and force it, the 4th Light Dragoons, a troop of
Horse Artillery, a party of Engineers, with the
pontoons and military train, and the 22d Regiment
were sent higher up the canal to effect a passage at
another point. A few minutes after this fotce had
been sent off on a mission so fatal to the defenders
the artillery came into play in the abattis, sending
its massive red streaks of flame into the very centre
of the felled trees, and scattering their leaves and
twigs like' spray. At the same moment the attack
was pressed upon the centre, and now all along the
border of the lake were posted cannon, while the
woods swarmed with troops, and every gun and
Minie in the force converged upon two points and
poured a volley of flame an smoke uponthe King's
and centre bridges. There were a few minutes of
terrific uproar, during which the whole College and
ground became so wrapped in smoke that it was im-
possible, save for those actually with the troops, to
see what was passing. In the midst of this scene the
whole line of the enemy advanced against the two
bridges; at the centre the attack was repulsed amid
an awful din of small arms; at King's-bridge it was
Isuccessful—the cadetsretired,and by this movement
lost the day. They fell back into Adams's redoubt,
which was a very strong work, deeply trenched and
stockaded at the entrance, and which had been
mined in case of their being compelled to abandon it.
The enemy, however, after losing some time in de-
stroying the abattis, crossed King's-bridge, and at-
tacked the redoubt with artillery, while the detached
force, which had crossed higher up in pontoons and
by the Chinese-bridge, attacked it from the other
aide. The redoubt became untenable, and the cadets.,
lit their mine and abandoned it, retiring into the
Flagstaff Battery, while the centre and right divi-
sion also fell back. To cover this movement their
handful of cavalry charged the Camp troops, which
were crossing the bridges and defiling in the open
ground beyond, and compelled them to halt and form
squares in their own defence. At the same time the
mine in the redoubt blew up with afearful explosion,
lifting a loose cloud of earth and stones high into the
air. These two checks, however, were only tempo-
rary. The attack was pressed with a charge of the 4th,
Dragoons, which swept the open ground like a whirl-
wind of men and horses, leaving a broad deep track
of scattered turf where they had passed. This last
onset effectually drove the cadets back to the very
colonnade of the College, whither they were pur-
sued, when both parties came to a stand, and a ge-
neral delivery of all the spare ammunition took
place on all sides, and this sulphurous climax,
brought the proceedings to a close.
Marching past then took place in the usual order,
the cadets taking precedence of all the infantry.
Their marching was most regular for such a very
juvenile body of soldiers, and their admirable con-
duct and discipline throughout the day elicited the
highest commendation from Gen. Knollys,, and was,
in fact, a subject of general remark and admiration
among all the officers ou the ground. The marching
of the Royal Wiltshire Militia was also considered
most excellent. Immediately- after the review the
mountea troops returned to camp. The iufantry
followed when they had refreshed and rested them-
selves. The Camp will bp further strengthened
on Thursday next by the arrival of the 3d West
York Militia, and on Friday by the Roy al Dum-
fries Militia. The Royal Southdown and Limerick
Militia Regiments are expected in camp next
week. These reinforcements will raise the strength
of the force there to upwards .of 11,000 men.

Gen. John .Nicholson, of the 27th Bengal N. L,
.
was, an'officer of tio.,ordinary
,experience and pro,
mise. At the timesof his decease he was in commaed
rot_the.Punjab division: He was the eldest sot- of
the late ,Dr. A. Nicholson, who owsed a wean,
landed property in the county of Down, and who
died a few years since, having, practised with con-
siderable success as a physician atVirgemont, county
of Dublin. His mother was a sister of Sir J. Weir •
Hogg, late Chairman of the East India Company,
and formerly M.P. for Beverley and Houi on.
John Nicholson was born at Virgemont on the
11th of Dec., 1822, and having received his early
education at the Grammar School of Dungannon,
county of Tyrone; obtained from his uncle a direct
appointment to India early in 1831, where he ar-
rived in the July of the same year. At the very
outset of his career in India he gained some pracs
tical experience in war. The conquest of Cabal, as
out readers are aware, was followed by the revolt
of the Affehans. At the period of the murder of Sir
Wm. M‘Naghten, and the massacre of the British
trosps at Jugdulluck, Nicholson was in the fortress
of Glinznee, under Col. Palmer, and shared with.
him the dangers of the siege. There is no need to
recapitulate here the details of the event ; it is
enough to say that the British force found them-
selves shut up in the citadel, and having suffered
the extremities of hunger, were forced to
capitulate upon honourable terms. How those
terms were broken and how N icholson was forced.
to give up his sword is now a matter of history, as
is also his imprisonment with his comrades in Cabut
and his subsequent restoration t& liberty:on the ar-
rival of the gallant Sir R. Sale and Sir G. Pollock,
the real heroes who retrieved toe disasters of Lord.
Auckland's Indian administration. We next find.
Gen. Nicholson .serving-- in the Sutlej campaign in
1845-6. At the time of the outbreak of that war
he rendered important, service to Sir H. Hardinge
by watching and reporting the movements of the
Sikhs. He was also present at the bloody battle-
fields of Moodkhee and Ferozeshab, and received ai
medal for his gallantry in action.
In the second Punjab campaign we find the name
of Gen. Nicholson almost inseparable from that of
Major H. Edwardea, the hero of Mooltan. It would.
be foreign to our intention here to recount all.the
events which led to the outburst of that war, which
was so decidedly setiled at Sadoolapore, Chilian-
wallah, and Goojerat. It is sufficient for our pur-
pose to inform our readers that while the siege
of -
Mooltan was still proceeding Nicholson was
sent to seize the fortress of Attock,,which he suc-
ceeded in taking. As soon as his services could be
spared he accompanied Lord Gough in his advance,
and was able to render Sir J. Thackwell material
assistance in trinspoiting his forces 'across the Che-
nab just previous to the battle of Ramnuggur. He
had the satisfaction of seeing his name mentioned.
in the despatch of that gallant and distinguished
officer in the following terms :—‘'.To Captain.
*Nicholson, assistant to the Resident at Lahore,
I beg to offer my best thanks for his endeavours to
procure intvlligence of the enemy's movements, for
his successful efforts to procure, supplies for the
troops, and for his able assistance on all occasions."
After the battle of Onilianwallah his• friends had
the additional gratification of seeing his services in
that engagsment acknowledged in Lord Gough's
despatch side by side with those ofthe late lamented.
Sir H. M. Lawrence. Nor was he less distills
guished on the field of Goojerat where Lord
Gough finally routed and crushed the Sikh forces,
and after which he particularly recommended, in
his despatch addressed to the GovernOr-General of
India," that most energetic political officer, Capt.
Nicholson," as deserving of reward and promotion.
For his services in the Punjab campaign Captain
Nicholson was promoted by special brevet to the
rank of Major in the army, and received the addi•
tional honours of a medal and a clasp. He had been
engaged in civil employment in the Punjab for
some years before the outbreak of the recent mu-
tinies, haVing under his charge the Dera Ishmail
Khan district since• January, 1852. Of his activity
and energy in his civil capacity in the Punjab, and
of his gallantry in defeating the rebel forces sent
out to intercept the siege-train on its way to Delhi,
we have spoken too often recently to make it neces-
sary to add any fresh weed of praise. The previous
mail, it will be remembered, brought home tidings
that Colonel Nicholson was among those who were
wounded in the storming of Delhi, and now we
deeply regret to have to enumerate his name
among those who have since died of 'their
wounds. Col. Nicholson's commissions, we should
add, bear date as follows :—Ensign, Feb. 24, 1839;
Lieutenant, Jan. 13, 1843 ; Regimental Captain,
with rank of Lieut.-Colonel, March 20, 1848.
Brigadier-General James George Smith Neil, of
the Madras Fusiliers, was a native of Scotland, and,
was truly one of whom his native country, Ayr-
shire' will be proud. He was the eldest son of the
late Lieut.-Col. Smith Neil, of Barneweill and
Swindridgemuir, and succeeded at the death of his
father to a small landed property between Ayr and
Glasgow, where doubtless he, looked forward to
spend the remainder ef his days when he should
have retired from active service ; but it has been
ordered otherwise. He was born about the year
1810, and entered the Ist European Fusiliers (Ma-
dras) in 1826. He.first saw some active service, we
believe, in the first Burmese war, tinder the Gover-
nor-Generalship of Lord Amherst, when he was for
a time in the Adjutant-General's department. He
was, however, compelled to returft to England on
furlough at the close of the campaign owing to the
inroads made upon his constitutiots by exposure
while on field service. For a short time, about
the years 1835 and 1836, he held the command of
the escort of the resident at the Court of his High-
ness the Rajah of Nagpore, arid about the same
time he married Isabella, daughter of Col. Warde.
Mere recently he took part in the second Burmese
war under Lord Dalhousie. On the outbreak of the
war with Russia in 1854 he volunteered for active
service in Turkey, and showed considerable ability
while in command of the Turkish Contingent. Re-
turning to India at the close of the war, he took the
command of the Ist Madras European Fusiliers
one of the most gallant and distinguished regiment.;
belonging to the service, though recently charac-
terised by Sir A. Alison in his speech at Glasgow as
" now to fame."'

On the breaking out of the recent mutiny, being
sent up to Calcutta with his regiment, he relieved
Benares, and pressed on with forced marches to
Cawnpore, in the capture of which he assisted.
Our readers will not have forgotten his decision in
the matter of the high caste Brahmins of that place,
whom he forced to degrade themselves by washing
with their own the bloodstained floor which was the
scene of the atrocities of Nana Sahib. During the
subsequent absence of Gen. Havelock he held the
command of Cawnpore, and was recently intrusted
with the command of a brigade. He is represented
to us, by those who knew him of old, as a strict
disciplinarian, but at the same time one who never
spared himself, and was always ready to share with
his men every danger, difficulty, and privation.
He attained the regimental rank of Major in 1850,
and became a Major in the Madras army, with the
rank of Lieutenant-Col., in Dec., 1853.

A sergeant-major of the 14th regiment of the line, now
in garrison at Belfort (Sant-Rhin), was two days found
hanging by the neck in the regimental schoolroom, and
when cut down was found to be quite dead, His suicide
is attributed to disappointment at not obtaining pro-
motion. He was a man of more than ordinary educa-
tion ; had originally studied medicine, and afterwards,
as a pupil of Paul Delaroche, had painted some pictures,
which were much admired. .
