MILITARY _REVIEWS IN PRUSSIA.

A series of military operations have been lately
begun by the Prussian army near Dusseldorf. The
following account will interest our readers:—
"These extensive and important manoeuvres, for
which such great preparations have for so long a
time been made, and which have attracted the
attention of military men in all parts of Europe,
have now fairly begun. The scene of operations
is on the banks of the Rhine near Dusseldorf, below
Cologne; and in order to render the proceedings as
brilliant as possible, and to afford good practical in-
struction to the troops, very many carps have been
for some time gradually moved towards the scene
of action, until the whole country in the vicinity of
the chosen spot has recently presented the appear-
ance of an immense camp. A few days since a
pontoon bridge was thrown across the Rhine in a
very successful manner, and in a very short time a
whole army of men, consisting of all arms of the
service, crossed the river. The operations of the
Bth Army Corps commenced on the 6th inst. by the
two divisions being mutually opposed. One side is
commanded by Lieutenant-General von Kleist, and
the other by Lieutenant-General von Arnim. The
plan of the operations is that a victorious army is
supposed to be marching by Maestr:cht and Luttich
towards the Lower Rhine, and its commander,
Lieutenant-Gererai von Arnim, is charged to lead
it to Cologne by way of Aix•la-Chapelle. The
eastern army is in retreat on the Wesel, and has
seized Dusseldorf, and intends to hold the Roer
line to its entrance by strengthening it. A body of
men under Lieutenant. General von Kleist are de-
tached from Cologne to cover the retreat, and to
hinder the advance of the enemy as much as p)s-
sible.

" The fighting during the first day of the
manoeuvres took place mostly near Buir and
Mannheim, in which neighbourhood the troops of
the eastern corps had bivouacked. Their strength
is 18 battalions of infantry, a battalion of Jagers,
nine squadrons of cavalry, six batteries of artil-
lery, and a company of pioneers, while the
western corps is still more numerous, consist-
ing of 21 battalions of infantry, nine squad-
rons of cavalry, six batteries of artillery, and a
pioneer company. This corps is bivouacked near
Duren. On the occasion of the bivouac orders were
issued that experiments with peomeal and 'rata'
should be made in preparing the food for the men,
as it is stated that ' rata' has been proved to be very
serviceable for the nourishment of troops. It is
well flavoured, and has the appearance of chocolate,
and a pound of it is enough to strengthen and
flavour food for 30 men.

" On the 7th the fighting while retreating was
continued, and the 16th division in particular took
up quarters nearer to Bergheim. The last of these
grand field exercises took place on the 10th. The
troops engaged were the two divisions of the Corps
d'Armee, that went through all the movements of a
general action, the field of battle extending over
the plain between Bedburg and Bergheim. -Accord-
ing to the plan of operations the Eastern Corps (the
15th division), having its right wing on the Erft,
had been extended from Pering to Wieienfeld and
Garsdorf. To this division the intelligence had
been brought in that the main body of the enemy
having been repulsed at Worringen had rallied, and
was preparing to make a fresh attack. At the same
time the defensive army was aware that reinforce-
ments were arriving from Cologne, consisting of six
battalions of infantry, one squadron of cavalry, and
three batteries of artillery. This detachment had
been pushed forward to Konigsdorf. Thus sup-
ported, the defending army, no longer waiting to
receive the attack, assumed the offensive, and ad-
vanced against the enemy, represented by the
western corps. This force had its left wing on the
Erft, and its right on Niederauenheim. The East
Corps quitted its position, and as the line advanced
came on the enemy at the Gillbergerhof, which was
invested by both armies, and here the action began
by a heavy cannonade on both sides. The strong
position of the West Corps was, however, held
againstthe attack for a considerable time; finally, the
point was carried, and the advancing force, making
a movement to the right, pressed the enemy into
the defiles ot the Erft, by Paffendorf, Bohlendorf, and
Bergheim, and the battle was over. The weather
was very unfavourable, as it rained heavily almost
throughout the day. On the 12th and 13th this
i
Corps d'Armee was to be reviewed by the Kin 2. of
Prussia. The following officers have been appointed
judges of the manoeuvres of the two corps against.eld-
each other from the 16th to the 20th inst.
'
Marshal General von Wrangel (president), Generals
Prince Radziwill, Prince Augustus of W ytemberg,
Prince Frederick Charles of Prussia,_ Von Bonin
Von Moltcke, Von Hahn, and Von wussow.,,

The falling off of £360,000 it, the bullion of the
Bank of France during the past mouth is very moderate,
considering the extraordinary purchases of wheat effected
for that country in Russia, America, and Augland.

JA.3IES HOPE GRANT, G.C.8.,
PERTH.

On Thursday, at two o'clock p.m. the Town
Council of Perth met in the City Hall there, for the
purpose of conferring the freedom of the city on
General Sir James Hope Grant " as a mark of their
warm admiration and gratitude for his eminent
services to his country in the late campaigns 112
India and China." The hall was completely filled
by a brilliant assemblage of ladies and gentlemen
belonging to the city and county.
The Ist Perthshire Volunteer Corps, commanded
by Captain Moncrieff, mustered in front of the City
Hall, and received General Sir Hope Grant with
military honours, while the bells of St. John's
Church rang out a merry peel.
After the usual forms,

The LORD PROVOST having made some prelimi-
nary remarks, addressed Sir James Grant as follows:
—I have much pleasure, on behalf of the Magi-
strates, the Council, and the community of the
city of Perth, in presenting you with this ticket
of citizenship, as a token of their sense of your
eminent services—(applause)—and our wish is, that
you may be long spared as one of our citizens,
with increased honour and renown. This box,
which contains your burgess ticket, I may men-
tion, is made out of a rafter of Simon Glover's house,
and if not valuable in itself, is valuable for the as-
sociations with which it is connected. The Lord
Provost, amid enthusiastic and prolonged cheering,
then put into Sir Hope Grant's hands the box con-
taining the burgess ticket, after which the oath
of fidelity was administered to him by Mr. Reid,
city clerk.

General Sir HOPE GRANT rose, amidst loud
cheering, to return thanks for the honour paid him.
He said—Lord Provost, and members of the Town
Council, I have to return you my most sincere
thanks for the great honour you hare conferred in
presenting me with the freedom of the city, which
I feel as a particular compliment from the fair city
of Perth, which I am proud to own as my native
county town. (Applause.) During these two last
campaigns I have indeed seen much service, and in
the commencement of the mutiny it was truly mar-
vellous and providential how the British nation was
carried through the dangers and difficulties with
which it was surrounded. I never shall forget,
gentlemen, the Ist August at Delhi, 1857, during
the rebellion, when it was at its height. The 2d of
that month was the Burru-ede, a great Mahometan
festival, on which day the King of Delhi used to pro-
ceed to a large serai or courtyard, about three miles
from the town, where a camel was sacrificed in
honour of Ishmael, who was supposed to
have beenWfered in sacrifice in place of Isaac, and
on that day the rebels determined to make a grand
attack, and annihilate the Ferringhee force. Our
numbers from the first were only about 5,000 men,
but from the heat of the season, sickness, and fight-
ing, our strength was greatly reduced. Indepen-
dent of the trenches, we could only turn out about
1,000 men to resist any at tack made on our flank
and rear. It was in the midst of the rainy season,
when usually the country becomes so swampy that
it is renderea quite impassable; there had, how-
ever, not been a drop of rain for a fortnight, a most
unusual circumstance, and the rebels on this day
determined to make a grand attack, which was
skilfully planned. A large force with guns were to
go up the left bank of the Jumna, which covered
one of our flanks; they were to proceed up the
river 20 miles, cross at a bridge of boats called
Bagput, and occupy a town in the rear through
which all our supplies came. Another force of some
6,000 men and some 18 guns, were to cross the canal
about three miles to our right flank, and attack us
there; and the remainder of the troops were to
attack our positions and batteries in front. We had
blown up the bridges which crossed the canal, but
were unable to hold the position where they had
been built, as we had not a man to spare from the
defence ofthe camp. Accordingly, on Aug. 1, the
day before their festival, they sent out their troops,
built a bridge across the canal, some of their cavalry
had crossed, and their guns were just preparing to
get over, when a black cloud appeared overhead, and
torrents of rain fell with such violence that the bridge
broke away, and the whole country around was so
swamped that they could not move through
it. I was at this time talking to Sir A. Wilson
in his tent, and as you may conceive, not in the
most cheery manner, when the late Major Hodson,
whose gallantry is well known, and who had been
sent to reconnoitre, rode into camp with a water-
proof coat on, drenched with rain, and gave us this
account, for though so much rain had fallen at the
bridge we had scarcely a drop with us. It was the
most wonderful interposition of Providence; with-
out which, in all probability, not one of us would
have lived to tell the tale. In about a week after-
wards we had a strong. reinforcement of upwards
of 3,000 men, which rendered us comparatively se-
cure. Well, gentlemen, the China war has also
ended satisfactorily, and I trust commerce will in-
crease greatly. (Cheers.) If the Chinese nation were
well governed, great trade might be expected from
it. They are a fine, manly, civil, industrious people,
strong, well-made men, and had they been better
versed in the science of war, we should not have
beaten them so easily. I am also delighted to see we
are not behind other countries in showing a fine body
of volunteers. As long as such a spirit of emu-
lation continues, foreign countries will not call us
a nation of shopkeepers, and they will be of the
greatest service to our nation when called upon to
act. The present American war proves to us how
useless are numbers without discipline, and I trust
it will be an inducement to our volunteers to carry
this out to the fullest extent. (Cheers.) I have now
to return my sincere thanks to the ladies and gentle-
men here present, who have honoured and wel-
comed me so kindly to-day--an honour which I
ever shall remember; and as I believe one of the
advantages attached to the freedom of a city is to
entitle the burgess to settle in some profession, I
trust, when I return to this country, after a few
more years in India, and perhaps take to some
honourable trade, that the ladies will give me their
patronage. (Prolonged cheers.)

Three cheers were then given for General Sir
James Hope Grant, and the large assembly slowly
separated. In the evening upwards of 300 gentle-
men sat down to a sumptuous banquet in the
County Hall, at which the Earl of Mansfield
presided.

THE LATE CATASTROPHE ON THE LONDON AND
BRIGHTON ,RAILWAY.—After the decision of the coroner's
jury had been announced in this case, and Legg had been
taken into custody upon the coroner's warrant by Mr. Geo.
White, chief officer of police, Montague David Scott, Esq.,
one of the magistrates of Brighton, and Mr. George Haw-
kins, the traffic manager of the company, at once tendered
themselves as bail for Legg's appearance at the ensuing
assizes, which, however, will not be holden until March
next, when the trial will take place at Lewes. Mr. Legg
is not, of course, acting at the Brighton station in his
former capacity, nor will he be allowed to occupy any
similar position elsewhere until after his trial. As regards
the injured, all but two have so far recovered as to be
enabled to leave the hospital, but Arnold and the child
Ewing, although progressing most favourably, are still
under the care of the medical staff of the institution.
A CLERICAL MAGISTRATE AND HIS COLLEAGUES.
—At the Spittlegate Petty Sessions, Grantham, on Friday,
the Rev. Ralph Lionel Tollemache took his seat on the
bench during the hearing of a case of game trespass, and
after delivering judgment all the other magistrates retired
to their private room. Shortly afterwards Mr. *William
Manners, the clerk, returned, and politely addressing
the reverend gentleman, said, " The magistrates
wished to see Mr. Tollemache in their private
room." Mr. Tollemache replied he had nothing to say
to them. Mr. Manners said the magistrates wished the
public to know that he had been invited to meet them
privately. After an interview of about half an hour the

the same time, we state that our opinion of your unfitness to
occupy a seat on the bench remains unaltered." Mr. Tel-
lemache rose to reply, but the chairman interrupted him by
saying,
"The magistrates would admit of no discussion
there."—Nottingham Journal.

The total amount of gold to be sent to this

this a great portion is believed to have arrived within the

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 14, 1861.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-IThis Day.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)

His Honour was the only sitting magistrate this day.
He will be relieved in attending by the return of Mr. Com-
missioner Goulbourn. The cases have been lately merely
pro forma, or have been adjourned until after the return of
the Commissioners after the holidays. Such adjournments
will no doubt lead to discussions under the new act, the
Commissioners taking their holidays at their own pleasure,
leaving bankrupts powerless.

PROPHECIES FOR THE ST. LEGER.

The following are the prophecies of the London weekly
sporting journals for the above important race :

BEICDN, in Bell's ET'I'LED RUM has nothing
to fear from the best of his opponents, which I expect will
prove to be Aurelian and Lady Ripon..
RHYMING RICHARD, in Bell's Life—
" Brown Stout has too frothy a title, I fear ;
I'm not his sup-porter—he is but small beer.
Dictator a race horse appeared to my sight,
But those nice penny papers have set me right;
Cease, angry layers, your spleen and spite,
Our victory's written in black and white.
To the very fore-front a chesnut springs,
The zest,of the struggle has given him wings ;
He passes Kildonan with flying feet,
He challenges Janus, and Janus is beat.
And Kettledrum wins"---" Hold, not so fast,"
Lady Doncaster cries—" I have found him at last I"
" Yes, ma'am, to the front a bright chesnut springs,
And conquering Newminster lends him his wings;
He passes Kildonan with flying feet,
He chagenges Janus, and Janus is beat—
A chesnat it is, in whose honour they raise
That deafening storm of loud-mouthed praise;
But that chesnut, unless our old eyes betray us,
Is not your Kettledrum, but—IMAUS I"
ORANGE BLOSSOM, in Bell's Life—
The Roe heads the race, and Kildonan is near,
But Kettledrum comes like a flash from the rear,
And tears to the front—let them catch him who can—
As they pass the Red House he's three lengths in the van,
" The crack in a canter—a trot—any how I"
No, stop I he is tiring I they're reaching him now ;
See I Snowden is riding him! Lancashire's dumb,
By Jove, he is beat I it's all up with " the Drum I"
Kildonan has caught him, has passed him, he's done,
But ere Benhams can triumph the race must be won.
For again and again rings a Middleham shout,
As, pricking her ears, Lady Ripon comes out.
Again it re-echoes that thunder-born roar,
As Imaus and Edwards rush up to the fore.
Neck and neck, stride for strib, running close to the rails,
Now the "Market," now Yorkshire, now Berkshire pre-
vails—

They pass, and the discord convulses the air,
Was't Imaus, Kildonan, or was it the mare ?
A cheer for the winner is borne wide and far ;

If my spectacles serve me, that winner's—TOM PARR.

TOUCHSTONE, in the Era—Should a surprise be again in
store for us, it is to such a horse as Dictator we must look
to, or even the dickey Big Ben if he reached the post ; but
we have no idea of such a catastrophe (for the gentlemen)
happening as the victory of such rank outsiders as Sauce-
box, Gamester, and Imperieuse; and shall look for the
Judge to perform on three horses somewhat in this style :
KETTLE DRUM
KILDONAN 2
AURELIAN

THE STABLE MOUSE, in the Era.—Kettledrum, by
Rataplan, out of Mincemeat's dam. The nobler school ven-
ture Ito declare that, "if not got at already, he would be."
But notwithstanding, sir, these raven croaks of ill omen,
Kettledrum's opponents could not throw him back in the
betting. The odds—that thermometer of the state of his
health, and probable issue of the race—have remained as
steady as time itself, and as there can be but one opinion
that if well at the post, and bar accident—l always bar
accident, Mr. Editor—KETTLEDRUM must win.
OBSERVER, in the Field.—My firm belief is, that we
shall see KETTLEDRUM the winner, and Aurelian the
only, animal disputing the premiership with him.
BREVITY, in the Weekly Times.—My decided preference
is for KETTLEDRUM, while for a place Kildonan and
Lady Ripon look good investments.
THE SPHINX, in the Sunday Times:—
Now round the bend, the Red House they draw near,
The Drum is tight, not to be beaten here.
Sae for the straight—they come—there are but two—
My own, and just another I can view.
They're at the stand, I see them close to me ;
Ah 1 now I can predict the one, two, three,
They've done it I—KETTLEDRUM has won the day,
And from the next (Kildonan) runs away I
Another writer in the Suriday Times gives the following
as the correct card :

The St. Leger Stakes of 25 sovs each, for three-yr-olds ;
colts, Bst 71b ; fillies, Bst 21b ; the owner of the second
horse to receive 100 sovs out of the stakes ; the winner to
pay 100 sovs towards expenses, 25 soya to the judge, and
25 soya to the starter. St. Leger Course. 177 subs.

Mr. T. Parr's Kildonan, Bst 71b (Clements) 1
Lord Stamford's Imaus, Bst 71b .. (Edwards) 2
Colonel Towneley's Kettledrum, Bst 71b (Bullock) 3
Baron Rothschild's Janus, Bst 71b (Wells) 4
Duke of Beaufort's The Roe, Bst 21b (A.. Day) 5
Mr. Disney's Bombardier, Bst 71b
Mr. W. J. I'Anson's Caller Oui, Bst 21b....(Challoner) 0
Mr. Merry's Folkestone, Bst 71b (Custance) 0
Mrs. Osbaldestone's Camerino, Bst 71b.. (11. Grimshaw) 0
Captain Skipworth's Aurelian, Bst 71b (J. Goater) 0

Betting at starting-7 to 4 agst Kettledrum, Gto 1 agst
Imaus, 9 to 1 agst Kildonan, 10 to 1 agst Janus, 12 to 1
agst Aurelian, 100 to G agst The Roe, 25 to 1 agst any
other.

Au au n, in Sporting Life.—Brown Stout has been made
the object of demonstrations, and counter demonstrations,
rising in the betting as suddenly as a rocket, and coming
down almost as rapidly, but again returning to a shorter
price than ever in the course of the last four and twenty
hours. John Scott, great as he is in working wonders, can
hardly metamorphose the Selling plater into a Leger win-
ner, besides which, the market operations have been so pecu-
liar, "that it would be like "robbing a poor man of his
beer" to advise an investment upon him. I can see
nothing to beat KETTLEDRUM, the only other animal,
in my opinion, fit to wipe the dust from his feet being
AURELIAN, and this pair will, I anticipate, finish first
and second. But if anything should be amiss or happen to
the favourite, they may have their positions reversed.
