The Coukt.—The Royal Family Are Still At...
The Coukt . —The royal family are still at . Windsor ,, in good health . The Queen and her daughters ride and drive out daily when the weather permits , or take exercise in the riding-house : The Princess Alice ' s sixteenth birthday was celebrated oil Monday , and on Tuesday her Majesty had a grand dinner and evening party . The Dukes of Saxe Coburg and Oporto have . continued to be the guests of the Queen . , ¦ _ National Defences and Rifle v olttnteeks . — On this important subject Mr . E . S . Cayley ( late . M . P . ) writes to the Times comparing the military spirit and training of this country fifty years ago the
with the present state of things . He proposes raising of volunteer battalions of 250 men in every parish or township Who should be drilled and exercised as marksmen , and armed at the expense of the public . Iii addition to this formidable body of stout yeomen and mechanics trained to warlike exercises ; he suggests an improved volunteer cavalry . He says : the rifie is the weapon of the day . Let it be the newest and best . Hedgerows are our fortifications . There are in each county of England one or two or more " hunts , " formed of men whose business and pleasure it is to cross the country over hedge , ditch , and brook . Let these , or each of these , be the nucleus of mounted rifle farmers would
corps to which thousands of young attach themselves . In the united kingdom you might have 50 , 000 of them . Let them be trained to fire at a mark from horseback ; then to dismount and fire simultaneously with still surer aim at a mark , and again rapidly to remount : —varying their position in fields , behind hedges , or on the crowns of hills . These rifles carry 800 or 1 , 000 yards . Let 3 , 000 or 5 , 000 of these mounted rifles on each wing of an invading army be ready to harass its advance from fields and behind hedges , whither they could not be pursued , and if pursued , know how to cross country for a field or two , until they reach a point where they could dismount and pour a deadly volley on their pursuers . Under such a system , with railways , how could an invading army live ? It could have neither pickets , skirmishers , nor foragers . ¦
nor even artillerymen long . _ An Omen . — A letter from Vienna , of the 22 nd instant , says : — " The most wonderful Aurora Borealis witnessed for several hundred years was observed last night in many parts of the empire . The north-west -region of the heavens appeared in a blaze fojc more than an hour , the deep red colour of the phenomenon at one time increasing and anon fading away , like the fitful rising and falling of the flames of a great conflagration . Iu the minds of the peasantry—and perhaps in those of many more educated persons as well—the extraordinary vision seems to have been productive of feelings akin to those harrowing the fearful breasts of the European nations at the period of the Thirty Years' War . To-day , into whatever society you chance to enter , you fail not to hear quoted the following words from Schiller ' s ' Wallenstein : ' —
' Und vom Himmcl sclber Hiinsrt unsor Herr Gott don Jtriogsmantcl hummer , FUrchtcrliclJi et schrccklml ' t ZoioUeu , ' & c . (' And from Heaven itself , God our Lord drops down the fiery cloak of war , a terrible and fearful symbol , ' & c ) . Even enlightened people , not unacquainted with names like Faraday , Herschel , & c ., under the exciting influences of the political crisis of the moment , have had their impressions deepened by the ' red cloak of war '—^ involuntarily believing strife and bloodshed to be a little noarer realisation to-day than they wero before . " War Enthusiasm to Oiidek . —A Paris letter snyS j _ , it is impossible at present to define the impression produced upon the people by the sudden of It is evident
announcement of the certainty war . , however , that public sympathy is not with the measure . The instincts of the populace have not been as yet sufficiently worked upon , and , therefore , bands of street singers are in course of organisation by tho police to stir up tho public enthusiasm at tho barriors . One of those met with rather an unfavourable reception on Sunday last at the Barrier do Cliohy } for on the popular song of " En avant lo trento-deuxldtne , en avant " .. being struck up , tho groups of workmen to whom it was addressed immediately began singing in an ironical tone , " Maibrough s ' on va t-en guerre , " and forced tho intruders to desist . Th , q -workmen , of Franco , like their brethren of other countries , have felt the blessings of peace too long not to have learnt their value .
wanting * the fleet is useless , the harbour of Samarang , represented as the finest in the islands , is uncared for , and public works are quite unknown , and the policy so fanatical that tumults and religious outbursts are continually taking place ; Yet Java yields , . £ 3 , 000 , 000 annually to Holland . If the British had but kept Java- when they had it , what a different state of things . would be presented now f The Dutch show some inclination to accommodate themselves to progress by proposing to the States General that from 1864 an alteration in the tariff shall take place . Cotton manufactures of Netherlands origin , which at present are admitted at an ad valorem duty of 9 ^ per cent ., and others at 17 per cent ., will gradually be rediiced , until in 1870 , the duty on all of whatever origin will be 6 per cent .
BakOn de Goldsmid . —This gentleman , more generally known . as Sir Isaac Lyon Goldsmid ^ -one of our most noted , financiers , died on Wednesday morning , after an illness -which had for some time removed him from active participation in affairs . He was created a baronet in 1841 by the Government of Lord Melbourne , and received the title of " Baron" from the Queen of Portugal for success in negociating the settlement of the claims of Portugal upon Brazil . The friend of India says : —" . A rumour reach e * us from several quarters , that no less than twenty thousand Germans-will be permanently stationed in India . It is not apparently intended to keep this
force in separate legions , but to add two companies of Germans to every regiment . England , it is said , cannot stand the drain of men inevitable in such a climate , and foreigners of some kind must be obtained . Germans are most easily enlisted and managed , and are perhaps viewed with peculiar favour in high quarters . The innovation must besanctioned by Parliament , an 4 consent may ber difficult to obtain . The employment of European mercenaries , though not opposed to our practice's entirely at variance with English theories . The pretext is even worse than the act * If We cannot India had bett
maintain by our own strength , we er abandon it to anarchy , and descend at once to that humble position which befits a nation unable to pro- ? te ct its own . We believe , however , that the " dram , is a bugbear . India even with 100 , 000 men needs only 10 , 000 recruits a year , or one-eighteenth of the annual increase of the male population . The extreme efforts of the past three years are no evidence of the necessities of the future . During those threeyears we have consumed three armies , and because the single class from which we recruit shows symptoms of pressure , we imagine the resources of the entire nation exhausted . . . end to
Who Shall Decide ?— -In order to put an the controversy respecting the capture of the " disputed " gun at Alma , we have been favoured with a copy of ah official document from the Horse Guards which sets the question at rest , and , like the fable of the chameleon ' s colour , shows each party to havebeen right and each wrong . From this it appears that , contrary to general belief on the subject , the two guns taken at the Alma were both captured by the English—one by Captain Bell , which was immediately hurried to the rear , and one which was taken by the Guards , and left in the battery till the following day . It was the confusion consequent on the belief that this latter was the only gun taken which has led to such conflicting statements ; as to its having been wheeled down to the river or left in the redoubt . Tho fact of both guns being taken on
the same spot , and within five minutes ot eacn . other , only served to make the confusion , which arose out of tho two events being regarded as one , still worse , The matter now , however , is most satisfactorily cleared up , — Times . Tub American Chess-player . —On Tuesday Mr . Morphy , at the St . James ' s Chess Club , played simultaneously five of their most export members , including the President , Mr . Lowenthal . Tho tables wore arranged in a row , each table being occupied on the one side by a player , and on tho other a
passago was loft free , along which thoir single antagonist might pass backwards and forwards . Ihe players against Mr . Morphy were—first table , M . doUiviore ; second , Mr , S , JBoden ; third , Mr . W . Barnes ; fourth , Mr . Bird ; fifth , Mr . Lou-outMl . Tho play commenced at six o ' clock , and was kept up with groat spirit till a luto hour of the night . The following was tho result : Tho gamo at the first table was won by Mr . Morphy ; at tho second the game was drawn j at tho third it was won . ^ Mj . Barnes ; at tho fourth by Mr . Morphy j at tho fifth
This Bessemer Pjtooicsa . —It is said from Sweden that this process for tho manufacture of iron , which iv a time made so much noise in England , has been tried with muoh success in the casting ot steel , la tho experiments that hud beqnmade with iron ore it was found impossible to produce metal of a suitable kind r but § is afllrmed that by its adoption steel can bo cast of a superior quality and at a compam * lively trifling cxponso .
