DEPARTURE OF THE COURT FOR SCOTLAND.—Her Ma8 jesty the Queen, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses Prince Alfred, Princess Helena, Princess Louise, Prince Arthur, and Prince Leopold, arrived at the Windsor station of the Great Western Railway precisely at teit minutes before seven on Monday evening. In attendance on [ler Majesty were Major-Geueral Seymour, Major-Gen. Grey, and Lady A. Bruco. The Royal party occupied three carriages, and were received by Mr. Saunders, secretary; Mr. Kelley, traffic superintendent; Mr. Matthews, resident superintendent of the Great Western line and Mr. Gawk well, general manager of the Lon- don and North-Western line. The public werendmitted to the station to witnass the departure of Her Majesty, who repeatedly bowed as the train slowly proceeded aiong the line.

The Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse, witii tLcir infant daughter, arrived in London on Tuesday morning, and loft in the afternoon for Balmoral. It is expected that the Court will return to Windsor on the 9th of October. CnURCH PRACTICES AT CLAYDON.—The Bishop of Norwich has commenced proceedings against the Rev. George Drury, M.A., rector of Claydon, near Ipswich, in consequence of the extraordinary services which have taken place during the past few months in the parish church, and in which a gentleman styling himself Bro- ther Ignatius," has borne a conspicuous part. The cita- tion accuses Mr. Drury of three thingra :-I. Using unauthorised rites and ceremonies. 2. Using, or aJ. lowing others to use. unauthorised prayers, and disobey- ing the Bishop therein. 3. Allowing the Rev. J. L. Lyne or others to officiate in the church, and disobey- ing the Bishop therein. On these points Mr. Drury ob- serves that 1. Three or four years ago a correspon- dence took place between his solicitor and the Bishop of Norwich about the vestments, rite3, and ceremonies in use in Gaydon Church, and it ended by the Bishop al- lowing them to remain as they were and now are. 2. The Bishop has given him no order whatever on the siib- Sect. 3. Mr. Lyne had not preached or officiated in Claydon Church since he was inhibited by the Bishop about three months ago. The case will be heard in the Court of Arches of the Province of Canterbury by letters of request from the Bishop of Norwich.

I THE WSH LANGUAGE & THE EISTEDDFODS. i ) The recent address of the Bishop of St. David's at the Swansea. Eisteddfod has given prominence to a question which has long been agitated among the people of the principality, though it has only cropped to the surface occasionally in reports of bardic festivals and remarks of governmental inspectors of Welsh schools. The feeling that it is desirable to perpetuate the national language and literature, and so to preserve the nationality of the Welsh people, is widely spread, and has lately been evinced in a remarkable manner by the establishment of a society for organising an extensive system of emigration to some distant clime, where it is hoped by the promoters that the language and literature of Wales may be pre- served pure and intact. There are no doubt good reasons for the apprehension that the Welsh language may, unless artificially preserved, become a dead tongue at no very distant period; and this apprehension would seem to lie at the bottom of the institution of the Eisteddfods. Whe- ther it is desirable to maintain a line of demarcation be- tween Welsh and English by the extensive study of the language of the former, and whether the perpetuation of a national ton-ue is necessary to the manitainaucG of a distinct national character, were the questions to which 1 the eraditc,Bishop of St. David's addressed himself on the occasion of his elevation to the honour of Druidism.

I CURIOSITIES OF THE CENSUS IN SHROP- SHIRE AND NORTH WALES. We learn from the second volume of the census tables of 1861 that the population of Shropshire amounted at that time to 260,407, of whom 130,290 were males and 130,119 females. This is the nearest approximation of the sexes to equality found in the six West Midland counties, males predominating to the extent of about 1,500 in Herefordshire and 7,000 in Staffordshire, while in other counties there is a still greater predominance of females. Looking farther into the matter, we find that the excess of males occurs in the districts of Clun, Church Stretton, Cleobury Mortimer, Madeley, Atcham, Oswestry, Ellesmere, Wem, and Market Drayton. As a rule, males predominate at birth in the proportion of 21 boys to 20 girls, but more of the former die in in- fancy than of the latter. Between the ages of fifteen and twenty we expect to find more males than females unmarried, but in Shropshire the numbers were nearly equal, though there were 241 wives of that age to 36 husbands. Two husbands of eighteen had wives of the same age, seven a year older had wives ranging from seventeen to their own age and nineteen husbands aged twenty had wives aged from seventeen to nineteen. There were 156 wives of nineteen, one the spouse of a man of fifty sixty-one aged nineteen, nineteen aged seventeen, four aged sixteen, and one bride of fifteen. Marriages in which both parties are minors appears to be most numerous in Madeley. Among the occupations of the people, we find only the following employment to more than 1,000 males: Farming and grazing, 5,311, besides 2,310 above fifteen years of age returned only as farmers' sons, grandsons, or brothers; as agricultural labourers, 18,038 exclusive of out-door shepherds and in-door farm servants, the latter numbering 7,389; gardening, 1,156; carpenterr and joiners, 1,853; brick- layers, 1,536 wheelwrights, 1,082 tailors, 1,540 boot and shoe makers, 3,033; butchers and meat salesmen, 1,025 coal miners, 4,490; railway labourers, 1,351; engaged in iron manufacture, 2,872; blacksmiths, 2,000; labourers, 3,847. Among females the largest class is that of general domestic servants, comprising 10,286 individuals, nearly half of whom are under twenty years of age, and about one-seventh under fifteen, fourteen of the number being children under ten. There are also 1,330 housekeepers; 2,022 housemaids; and 1,001 nursemaids; and we observe that one-third of the last named class are under fifteen years of age. There are also 1 cook, and 143 housemaids of the same juvenile age and actually a housemaid and a dozen nursemaids under ten. We find 1,631 farm servants of the softer sex; 3,146 dressmakers and milliners; and 1,498 laundresses. Police statistics are altogether ignored in these tables, each person being described as he or she choose to describe himself or herself to the enumerator. Only sixteen persons, all women are being returned as being of the criminal class, even prisoners describ- ing themselves by the occupation they were perhaps brought up to. The population of Montgomeryshire was 76,293, of Flintshire 39,941, Denbighshire 104,346, and of Meri- onethshire, 53,230. In all Wales and Monmothshire females preponderated over males to the extent of about 2,500, and in North Wales to the extent of about 3,000, but males predominated in three of the above counties, the exception being Meiionethshire. The numerical difference was slight, however, being greatest in Den- bighshire, where there was an access of nearly 100 males. More locally, the preponderance of males is found in the districts of Newtown, Montgomery, Llan- fyllin, Holywell, Wrexham, Ruthin, Corwen, Bala, and Dolgelley. We find in North Wales fifty-six husbands and 284 wives under twenty years of age, of whom three husbands of eighteen had wives between eighteen and twenty, eleven of nineteen had wives whose ages ranged from fifteen to twenty, and twenty-eight of twenty had wives from sixteen to twenty. Marriages of minors are most frequent in Wrexham, Holywell, and Newtown. The numbers employed in the most ordinary occupa- tions for males were as follows :-General domestic ser- vants, 1,OS8; carmen, carters, and draymen, 1,354; seamen in the mercantile marine, 2,849; faimers and graziers, 14,660 besides 6,69 returned as sons, &c., and being above fifteen years of age; agricultual la- bourers, 17,559; in-door farm servants, 12,554; gardeners, 1,132; carpenters and joiners, 3,383; masons 1' and paviours, 2,532; woolen cloth manufacturers, 1,376; tailors, 2,410; boot and shoemakers, 4,184; butchers and meat salesmen, 1,058; grocers and tea dealers, 1,086; coal miners, 6,063; copper miners, It 1,093 lead miners, 3,589 stone quarriers, 1,061; slate quarriers, 7,946 blacksmiths, 2,432 labourers, 6,856. The female occupations give the following result:- general domestics, 17,295 housekeepers, 1.127; house- maids, 2,228 farmers and grazers, 2,202; in-door farm servants, 3,236; milliners and dressmakers, 8,173; laundresses, 1,555. There were only two persons of no stated occupations, and no others of the dangerous classes beyond about a dozen described as vagrants, beggais, or gipsies.

WORK FOR CONVICTB.—The construction of a railroad from Dartmoor Prisons to Okehampton, there to join the projected central line of the South-Western company, is in contemplation. The line would be about twelve miles in length, and, with one exception, would be almost a level plane the whole of the works to be completed by convict labour. AN HEROIC ACTION.—A correspondent, under date Sept. 4, communicates the following to the Times:— Yesterday afternoon, a train arrived at the Reading station from London, and the engine had actually reached the eastern end of the platform, when an un- 1 happy man, to all appearance scarcely if at all beneath the rank of a gentleiiihn, stepped off its western end and stood straight in the midst of the very line of rails I upon which the train was coming. The shrieks of the bystanders only seemed to root him in his dreadful posi- tion and a glance towards the engine, proceeding in its inevitable march, convinced myself at least that in two or more seconds he must needs be crushed to pieces. Of these two or three seconds, however, an intrepid railway porter took advantage. Perceiving that every- thing else must fail, he hastily, but calmly, jumped dowa J from the platform, seized the person by his shoulders, and almost seemed to bear him away with him up against the carriages which were standing on the next line of rails, and kept him there until in another instant the engine had passed on and the train had ceased to 1 THE SHOCKING OCCURRENCE ATLLANDAFF.—On Wed- I nesday Mr. Reece held an inquest respecting the death of some men who had been killed in a stone quarry at I Radvr near Llandan, under circumstances stated in our columns on Wednesday last. William Smith the foreman of the quarry, said On Monday afternoon, between one and two o'clock, the men were all at work in the auarrv as usual. I was called away just at the moment, and only moved forty yards' distant when I heard an awful crash and turning round I saw that the woodwork had given way. and that the gantry, engine, and stone had fallen down upon the men. I cannot understand how the men came in that dangerous position. I have lifted more than ten tons with the same gantry, and could have ventured my life upon it. If I had seen an indication of weakness, I should have reported it. Charles Sillick, quarryman stated I was within twenty yards of the men at the time of. the accident. I saw them chain the stone and the engine was upon the gantry. The men ought not to have been under the stone wheu it was rising. The accident occurred in a moment, without any warning whatever. Mr. George Fisher, engineer and superintendent of the Ian Vale Railway, proved that he had examined the erection at the quarry, and was satisfied it was correctly construct- ed to carry out the work, and had been properly put to- gether; he was also satisfied that it was sufficiently strong to bear any weight the engine could lift. The accident did not arise from improper construction, in defective design, or materials. The jury returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased came by their deaths accidently, adding, that they hoped the timber erections at the quarry would be examiued weekly, and the men be subject to a penalty if they din not go out of the way of danger when stones were being wound up.

If I ST. LEGER DAY. I A St. Leger Day Doncaster has so often been de- scribed in the papers, that a detailed account would, no doubt, be tedious to many of our readers. Suffice it to say that, from an early hour, the town presented a scene of bustle and animation, and is visited by I strangers from almost every town in the United King- dom. The county of Yorkshire contributes largely to j its attendance, and in prosperous times Lancashire is strongly represented; in fact, everybody who admires turf sports, and can spare time and money, makes a point of witnessing the race for the St. Leger. The morning was not very promising, dark clouds gathering, and giving cause for apprehension of rain, for every one seemed to have an eye to the weather. The muster at the betting rooms was again numerous, and owing to the getting out" of Lord Clifton he rapidly rose to 9 to 2, taken. The Ranger was firm at 6 to 1; and Avenger held his position as first favourite, 4 to 1 being the highest offer against him. 7 to 1 might have been ob- tained about Queen Bertha. Golden Pledge was nom- inally at 9 to 1; Borealis steady at 100 to 7. The only II outsider in any demand was Gairncastle, opening at 1000 to 8, and closing at 50 to 1; while Onesander was I nibbled at 100 to 3. As the. forenoon advanced, the I weather began to be more promising, and likely to be fine. The rooms broke up about twelve o'clock, and a general move was made to the course, the road to which was thronged by vehicles heavily laden, and with count- less pedestrians. As the time for the St. Leger ap- proached, the crowd upon the course became immense, and we believe, exceeded any previous year in numbers. The betting in the interim underwent very little change, excepting that Lord Clifton increased in favour. Owing to much time being lost in getting the horses off for the Corporation Plate, the competitors for the St. Leger, 19 in number, were not all at the post by the appointed time, and it was not until 3-45 that the word Go," was given, and a greater surprise, taking it altogether, was never experienced. Lord Clifton seemed to be out of the race almost the moment the flag fell. He, how- ever, as will be seen by our description of the race, won cleverly. The ring by the result will clearly fee losers, but the settling must be watched before we can form an idea of its effects. Lord St. Vincent was much cheered, and no doubt the touts have been much mistaken. The Municipal Stakes of 200 sovs. each, h. ft., for two- year-old colts 8st 101b, and fillies 8st 71b. 5 subs.

Dr. Syntax and Blue Mantle were the first to show in front, the former taking the lead, Blue Mantle going second, Ranger, Onesander, and Serf lying next, and last of all by at least one hundred yards from the lerders, and many lengths behind everything, came Lord Clifden, to all appearance out of the race, his case seem- ing hopeless until after going over the hill, when he gradually improved his position. The lot at this time presented a tailing appearance; and his lordship passed horse after horse while going along the wood side, until passing the Red House, when he was fairly amongst the ruck, and at the bend he was in the front, closely attend- ed by Queen Bertha and Borealis. The race requires no further description; suffice it to say, that the race was never afterwards in doubt, Lord Clifden winning, amidst the shouts of an immense multitude, by half a length from Queen Bertha, Borealis was third, beaten four lengths from the second. Golden Pledge was fourth, beaten three lengths from Borealis. Ranger fifth, Aven- ger was a bad sixth, Clarior seventh, Blue Mantle eighth, annd Dr. Syntax, National Guard, and Light Bob were next, cantering in; the others walked in. The Ranger broke down. Stockowner and Amazonian were weighed for but did not go to the post. Handicap Sweepstakes of 10 sovs. each. h. ft., with 50 sovs. added, for two year olds; the second to save his stake.

A A M AM/1 f /-v u — J "t>t,1- AUUUl UlU uv IIULLI UUUUtVLU., North Caroliual the bloQkade at Wilmington is a mere farce, regular jine of packets for Nassau being duly ad- vertised and the hour of sailing announced. The Raleigh. State Journal says the Yankees are preparing to advance from Newbern with a force of 8,000 men. We learn by despatches from Stevenson, Alabama, yesterday, that, according to rebel accounts, the fire upon Chattanooga was opened by General Wilider with- out giving notice to the citizens, and that in consequence three ladies and two male citizens were killed. The enemy are bU8;1 in the city digging trenches to assist the assault. The mountains around have been penetrated by General Crook, and found clear of rebels. Reports from Jackson, Mississippi, via Vicksburg, to the 25th ult. speak of an important but mysterious mili- tary movement being on foot. It was stated at Jackson that 3,000 Federal troops were moving from Yazoo city towards Benton, and that a party of rebel cavalry re- cently crossed the Big Black river, and when within eight miles of Vicksburg were driven back by a force of Fede- ral cavalry. The New Orleans correspondent of the Chicago Times says that an attack on Mobile will be shortly made by three corps, under the command of Generals Franklin, Ord, and Herron, the whole under the direction of Gene- ral Banks. Admiral Farragut is to command the fleet, which is expected to reduce the harbour defences. A telegram from New York on the 1st says:—" So far as advised, the situation on the Rappahannock is un- changed, both armies are confronting each other, and each unwilling to throw down the gage of battle." The Pennsylvania Reserve Corps had presented General Meade with an elegant sword, belt, and spurs. THE SIEGE OF CHARLESTON. The following telegrams extracted from the Kichmond papers, givetne whole of the details concerning the siege of Charleston Charleston, 25th August.—The enemy's land batteries have been maintaining a steady fire on Fort Sumter all day. The fighting at Fort Wagner was chiefly confined to the firing of our pickets on the enemy's sappers, who continued to approach Wagner. This evening about dark, the enemy's batteries opened a furious fire on Wagner, preparatory as was supposed to the assault. The following official despatches have just been re- ceived.—" Fort Sumter, 7.35 p.m.—There is an assault now being made at Battery Wagner.—Alfred Rhett, Colonel Commanding. Fort Johnson, 7.45 p.m.—The enemy is assaulting Battery Wagner, evidently in heavy force.—C. H. Armstead, Colonel Commanding. Later.—The musketry has ceased. The enemy it firing a few mortar shells at Wagner. The first assault had been repulsed. No more shells have been thrown at this city since daylight on Monday morning. Charleston, 27th August.—The enemy's attack on our rifle pickets on Wednesday night, was made about seven o'clock in overwhelming force. On Thursday, the fire on both sides was very slow and deliberate. We hear of no unusual incidents. Charleston, 28th August.—The bombardment of Forts 'Wagner and Sumter proceeds slowly. The enemy is working hard in the trenches in front of Fort Wagner. No further attempt has been made to shell the city. The Richmond Enquirer of the 29th ult. says :—The War Department is in receipt of nothing later from Charleston than up to last night. It is understood, how- ever, that Fort Sumter, though seriously breached in the wall, will not be abandoned, and that General Beauregard has expressed his determination to hold it to the bitter end. It is thought that this may be done by the erection of a temporary fortification. The fire of the enemy con- tinues to be divided between Forts Sumter aid Wagner. The bombardment, up to our latest advices, was progress- ine- slowly without anv decisive results. w., THE WAR IN ARKANSAS. A despatch from Leavenwortn, Kansas, dated the 1st Instant, says :—" Advices from Fort Gibson to the 24th ult. state that General Blunt, with 6,000 men and 12 pieces of artillery, crossed the Arkansas river on the 23rd, but the enemy declined a battle and fell back. The rebel force is estimated at 25,000. There was con- sinerable sickness at Fort Gibson, but few deaths, how- ever, had taken place. The small pox prevailed to some extent among the Indians in the neighbourhood, and many had died. There were reports at Fort Scott on the 28th that Blunt had fought a battle and been whipped, with a loss of some 3,000 men." The Federal cavalry had made a reconnaisance from Yorktown towards Richmond. The news of the capture of the Federal gunboats Satellite and Reliance on the Rappahannock is confirmed. All the slaves for twenty miles at both sides of the Mississippi have been carried into the interior to prevent their being pressed into the Federal service. Seven deserters, mostly substitutes for conscripts, have been shot for desertion from General Meade's army. The draft has been suspended in Ohio. The New Yorh World assert* that this is done by the administration to carry the election. A Union meeting is reported to have been held at Pelham, Tennessee. Resolutions were passed repudiating secession, expressing a desire to return to the Union, and recommending a reorganisation of the State. Another meeting of drafted Germans has been hold at New York for organisation against the draft. The State elections in Vermont had resulted in the election of John G. Smith, the Republican candidate, for governor, by a majority of 20,000 votes. Three Repub- lican members for Congress were also chosen by 6,000 to 7,000 majority. The Richmond Examiner says the Confederate govern- ment will not recognise captured negroes in the Union service as prisoners of war, and will not consent to exchange theDl- Considerable public interest was felt in the letter of President Lincoln, one copy of which was to be read at the Union Mass Convention at Springfield, Illinois, and another at the Young Men's Union Convention, at Syra- cuse, New York, on the 3rd.

ARMING OF THE SLAVES IN THE SOUTH. I The Washington correspondent of the JVew York Tribune says he has seen a letter from Richmond which throws material light on the recent statement that the rebel government is prepared for the wholesale arming of slaves. The design, he says, was first formed during .General M'Clellan's advance on the Peninsula. But the Confederate successes that then followed drove the matter out of the heads of the Confederate authorities, until it was revived by their recent disasters in the south-west. In the meantime, General Beaurecrard, supported in this by the opinion of the Governor of South Carolina, had been asking for authority to arm a few negro regiments for the defence of Charleston, and Governor Shorter, of Alabama, pressed by the necessity of providiug for the defence of Mobile, h id addressed the same request to Richmond, and recommended in a public proclamation the arming of negroes in his own state. Encouraged by this practical breaking of the ground, Mr. Jefterson Davis determined to bring the matter to a conclusion. Correspondence from Key West to the 22nd of August gives information of the capture oi several valuable pr.zes. The gunboat De Soto had recently taken a tine ste-uner, called the Alice Vivian, in the Gulf, about 200 mills e; at of Mobile, with 580 bales of cotton on board. foh J had also captured the side-wheel steamer Crescent, fion Mobile, but last from Havana with an assorted cargo of merchandise. An English topsail schooner had also re- cently been brought in as a prize. The Admiralty Court was still without a presiding officer, and a large amount of prize property is consequently awaiting adjudication.

Every one at once felt for a few stray coppers, and the musician departed with a profound reverence. This he repeated several evenings in succession.

V'.XNTever mind that, give u" a tune anyhow.' —" But I am a poor player, and have a poor instrument. '—" No matter for that, I want to hear you.Well, sir, since you insist upon it," said the poor man, I tell you I don't play at all. I carry this clarionet merely for the purpost of threatening people with my performance."
