The Ottoman empire includes within its bounda ries some of the fairest and most fertile portions of the world, and comprises some of the earliest and most cele brated seats of learning and civilisation. The total area of the empire, including the tributary provinces, is estimated at 1,836,478 square miles, and the population of the several grand divisions in Europe, Asia, and Africa at 35,350,080. The revenue of the present year is set down at 14,432,960/., which will give an excess over expenditure of about 898,4821. The paper money in circulatioo and the floating debt are estimated at 18,'284,800/. Of this sum f,000,000/. is to be paid off with the proceeds of the new foreign and borne loans, leaving a balance of 12,284,800/. to be con verted into a consolidated stock. The land tenures in Turkey are four in number-1. crown lands, forming by far the largest portion of the territory of the Sultan, are held direct from him, and his government grants the right to cultivate an unoccupied tract on the pay ment of certain fees, which of course vary in proportion to its value-2, the vacouf or pima foundations-3, crown grants-4, freehold property. The landlord seldom cultivates the soil himself, but lets it out to fermata, who, being poor villagers, look to the owner for the necessary supply of firm. Mg stock. Throughout the greater part of th e empire the soil andclimate permit of the almost inexhaustible production, in excess of the wants of the inhabitants, of those ordi nary raw materials which form everywhere the great staples of food and manufacture. Crain, wool, cotton, hemp, hides, tallow, and timber, are everywhere produced in abundance ; while in addition to these ordinary products, Turkey yields in profusion those rarer articles of merchan dies, such as drugs, dye', gums, fruit, vegetables, oils, silk, sugar, and tobacco, which can only be abundantly and pro fitably produced wider conditions of special advantage of climate and geographical position. From the earliest times the fertility of the soil has been remarkable. In the days of llerodotus, it was so admirably adapted for corn, that it never produced less than two hundred fold, and, in seasons particularly favourable, it sometimes amounted to three hundred. "The ear of wheat, as well as the barley," he says, "is four digits broad. But the immense height to which the ceuchens and seas. mum stalks grow, although I have witnessed it myself, I dare not mention, lest those who have not visited the country should disbelieve my report." At the present day the soil is not less fruitful, for there are some places in EUropean Turkey where two grain crops are obtained in the year. For example, in the district of Charshumba, about eighteen hours distant from Balmier, barley is sown in September and cut in May. Indian corn is then planted, which is gathered in the September fol lowing. The annual produce of corn in Asia Minor is estimated at 254 million bushels. In 1860 Turkey ex ported to Great Britain 164,000 quarters of wheat, 60118 of barley, 916,673 of maize, and 28.008 quarters of other kinds of grain, of the aggregate value of 3,080,0001., and to France grain of the value of 600,0001. This was ex clusive of the exports of the dependencies of Egypt, Tripoli, and The wools of Roumelia (Turkey in Europe) are held in very high estimation. They usually contain 60 parts at white, 20 of fine black first quality, and 20 of grey second quality. Macedonia. Theraly, and Albenia, produce about 6,600,00011 m. of wool, of which 2,200,0001ba. are exported by &lonics, and 1,000,0001bn. by the port of Volo, in Themaly. That part of Bulgaria bordering on the Danube, called the Dobrutscha, contains abundant pasturage, and produces annually about 4,200,0001 be. Thrace does not poises pasturage@ as rich u those of Bulgaria and Macedonia ; nevertheless, the production of that province is esti mated at 6,000,0001 W., of which two-thirds are exported, and one-third used for home consumption. It is impossible to arrive at a satisfactory valuation of the amount of wool produced in Asia Minor. The most important market for that article is Smyrna, from whence are exported 7,200,00011 m, of which one-half gnu to the United States and the other to France and England. The province of Konrad furnishes about 7,000,000 lbs., and Csramania, which extends along the coast from the Gulf Satalia to the Gulf of Alexandretta, and inland to the neighbourhood of Angora and Sivas, produce 600,000 lbs., containing one part of white and three mute of black and grey. Syria produces a considerable quantity of wool, but it is difficult to obtain any reliable statistics upon the subject. The wools .of Upper Asia, comprising thou of Kurdistan and the provinces bordering on the Black Sea, are shipped at the ports of Trebizoud and &memo, but no returns are available. TiePiovine* of Angora, famous for the silky Beres of it/ gotta, exports about 7,000,0001b5. of wool or hair by the ports of Smyrna, &meson, and Constantinople. The average shipments of wool from Turkey to Great Braun are over 3 , 50 0,0001b5., and to France nearly three times that quantity. Tobacco is cultivated in every part of Turkey where the elevation of the temperature admits of its production. The annual production in Macedonia is estimated at 100,000 bales ; of which 40,000 are consumed in European Turkey, 80,000 exported to Egypt, 10,000 to Barbary, and 20,000 to Italy. Magnesia, Pergamos, and &moon, in Asia Minor, produce tobacco of excellent quality, but that cultivated in the district of Latakia (Syria) is the most esteemed. The consumption of tobacco by the native population is enor mous; nevertheless the exportation continues annually to increase. The shipments to Great Britain and France ave rage 1 j million pounds. Madder,which is exported to the value of half &million ster ling, is principally cultivated in Asia Minor and Syria. From Valonia the acorn cups of an oak used for tanning are ex ported to the value of 300,0004 With due attention to the culture of the tree, Turkey is capable of prod p u es ci o ni valonia to almost any ext en t. Y e ll ow b erries (buckthorn and galls for dyeing, oliv e oil, raisins. and fi gs, n and boxwood, lamb skins and silk, are some of the other added to.industrial products of Turkey, andthe list is d a ily bein g Turkey is one of the best customers we have for our pro ' duos and manufactures, and she takes from us as much as Francs does. The value of the importsand exports between Turkey and Great Britain is now about 12,000,0001. It is estimated that the annual trade of Turkey with foreign countries amounts at present to 48,000,0004 (ofwhich Egg land sod France carry on nearly one half), and that between the provinces to 20,000,0001., giving a total of 68,000,0001. per 1111011111.

LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 28, 1862. THE GALES. LOSS OF THE LIVERPOOL SHIP BISNOOOLEN AND TWENTY-EIGHT LWEIL • By the telegrams which came in yesterday from the different outporte there seems to bare been brit little abatement of the severity of the gales, more particularly along the western coast, where, up to yesterday at noon, the wind is described to have blown with the force of a hurricane from the S.W., with a tremendous sea on, and tweaking over the shore. In the course of the forenoon Admiral Fitzroy communicated to the several stations round the coast that another storm was probable. The barometer, which stood at 29.54, wee falling last evening. Early yesterday morning, Lloyd's egoist ►t Buds, near Bideford. on the North Devon ooast, forwarded a telegraphic ' despatch to the City announcing the loss of • large ship off that place, and that most of the crew had perished. She proves to be the Bencoolen, 1,500 tom burden, bound to ' Bombay from Liverpool with a cargo of machinery, railway iron, telegraph wire, and other goods. It appears that she left the Mersey last week, and in making her way out of the Channel encountered the gale, and becoming disabled put back, and in endeavouring to make Bude Haven struck upon the rocks and became a total wreck. Unhappily out of a crew of 27, only five, it is reported, were saved. The Bemioolen was built at St. John's in 1855, and was • first-class ship. Daring Monday and Tuesday considerable anxiety was felt for the safety of the Clarence steam-ship, belonging to the General Stearn Navigation Company, which left Hamburg for London on Saturday, and was therefore sometime overdue. Yesterday she arrived in the river, and by her report it would appear that she had a narrow escape of foundering in the North Sea, having last between 200 and 300 sheep which were stowed on deck, and sustained other damage. On leaving Cuxhaven the weather was fine, but on reaching Terschelliog on Sunday afternoon bad weather was encountered, and two steamers, which were supposed to be the Leo and Planet, and were following in the wake of the Clarence, were lost sight of, and it is thought they were lost. The gale gradually in creased, and at times with thunder and lightning, the sea running mountains high. About 11 o'clock at night a fear ful sea struck the ship, sweeping the deck and carrying overboard 250 sheep, breaking away the paddle-boxes, bul warks, galley, and other things on deck, and flooding the fore-cabin and fore part of the vessel. For a time it was feared that the steamer could not outlive the storm in her then condition, and that she would founder. The chief officer, Mr. Marshall, who was at the wheel, bad his thigh broken. The crew took heart and worked courageously for the preservation of the ship, and by active pumping cleared the vessel of ► large portion of water which she had made. Owing to the time, however, the ship bad been kept buf feting about the fuel got short. The ship's spars, &c., were made available for ' keeping up the fires, and at length, after much trouble and anxiety, the English land near Lowestoft was made, to the joy of all on board. The crew and passengers were much exhausted, some of the former having been on their legs more than 90 hours. Another steamer which has arrived in the river reports having lost 75 cattle of 90 which she had on board. A sad list of casualties continues to be received from the north-east ooest. The brig Robert and Margaret, belong. ing to the Tyne, could not weather the storm, and foundered a few miles from the mouth of the Hum ber. The captain, mate, and carpenter were rescued by the smack Tarts:, but the remainder of the unhappy crew (six or seven in number) were drowned. Another collier brig, called the Amity, from the Tyne, for Rochester, went down off the same line of coast, but the crew were happily preserved. The crew of the schooner Thrifty, of Goole, for ROl.lOO, which struck on the Long Sand on Sunday night, were not taken out of the rigging until eight o'clock on the following morning. The poor fellows suffered much by the sea breaking over them. The captain's wife was drowned, and the mate's wife, who was lashed to the rigging, died from the severity of the weather. Many wrecks are re ported from the different coast-guard stations. The Transit, steamer, from Hull, speaks of having seen a large ship, apparently an Austrian, of 1,000 tons, with !sig nals of distress eying. No parson was seen on board, and it was thought that a pilot boat which was near would succeed in getting the ship into Flushing. LIVERPOOL, WEDNISDAY. Much pain was felt here to-day in consequence of a despatch which was received from Bute's Bay. Corn wall, announcing the total lose of the large East Indieman Bencoolen. Thin vessel left Liverpool on the 13th inst., bound for Bombay, with a large and valuable general cargo. She most have met with the fearful weather which has prevailed in the Channel and round the English and Irish coast for the lut week or so, and been driven on to the Cornwall coast. The Bencoolen when she left Liverpool had a crew of 33 men on board all told, and we regret to lay that out of this number only five have been saved. The telegram is brief, and does not state whether the master or officers are among the saved. The ill-fated ship belonged to Messrs. E. Bates and Co., of LiverpooL The foreign brig Meika, Captain Haseywinkle, bound from Leghorn to Liverpool, went ashore to-day off Water loo, and at the time of the despatch of our parcel two steam tugs were endeavouring to pull her off. Two flats—one salt laden—sank in the river to-day, but fortunately no person was lost. As showing the strength of the gale from the westward, we may state the tide rose 2 feet and more above the height indicated by all the tide tables. Admiral Fitzroy tele snubs to say that another fearful g►le from the south may be hourly expected. PLYMOUTH, WIDNESDAY. The prevailing gales have contiuued here up to this morning ; but the boisterous state of the weather has since somewhat abated. A large number of vessels have taken shelter in the Sound, but the following are the only accideots that have taken place amongst them The barque Moultao, from Bahia for this port, with a cargo of sugar, last from Queenslown,•loat her jibboom. The Place, a small ketch belonging to Teigomoutb, laden with blue las, from Lyme Regis, went ashore in Catwater for want of a second anchor ; she was got off to-day, with some boles in her bottom, after throwing over part of her cargo. The Fitzroy weather Niguel at present stands hers at " Dan- gerous winds from the southward expected." TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (iiscrna's rnainuits.) AMERICA. (Per Anglo-81mm, by Tslepaph to Farther Point, sad from Londonderry.) NEW YORK, Ocr. 11, EVENING. General MTlellan's headquarters are at Harper's Ferry. Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, surrendered to the Confederates on the conditions that private pro perty should be respected, but that public property would be removed or destroyed. The Confederates are moving in the direction of Gettesburg to destroy the bridge at that point, and prevent the approach of General M'Clellan's troops. The Confederates destroyed the Chambersburg railway station, and carried off 500 horses. The report of a battle having been fought at Perrysville on the 9th inst. was incorrect. General Buell officially reports that an engagement occurred at Perrysville on the Bth inst., lasting from 10 a, m. till dark. The enemy was repulsed, but not with out some momentary advantage on the left. The main body of the enemy fell back in the direction of Harrodsburg, General Buell adds, " Our loss is probably pretty heavy, including valuable officers." (Per Anglo-Saxon, vi! Loodooderry.)

The Discussione of to-day says that the Finance Minister has disposed of a largo amount of treasury bonds in foreign countries, and that the Credit Mobilier has discounted 20,000,000 lire of these securities. Garibaldi has been removed from the Varignano to the town of Spezzia. He now lodges in a house belonging to the Minister of the Marine. The weather was fine, and the removal borne well by the patient. The state of the General's health is slightly im proved, although the papers still express much apprehension. FRANCE. PAHL% Ocr. 22, EV1141170. La France, of this evening, says that M. de Sartiges will leave Paris for Turin at the cjm mencement of November. M. Drouyn de Lhuys received the Corps Diplo matique yesterday, and spoke for a considerable time with Monsignor Chigi, the Papal Nuncio. The Opinion Nationale of this evening states that M. de Latour d'Auvergne will leave to-mor row for Berlin, to present his letters of recall. VISITORS TO GARIBALDI. TO TRH EDITOR or THE EXPELS& Sia,—K Pauchet, the correspondent of the Opinion Nationale, has just paid a visit to General Gari baldi at Varignano, and gives detail in a letter addrered to the above journal of to-day. As his letter may recipe observation in England, I take the liberty of calling your attention to one paragraph, and quote : "II n'y a qu'un dean an Variguano, c'est le !Merinos° des Augtitian! ales arriveot bourn'es de recommendations, s'apputent sue le pied du lit du gen6.al et natant la, bouche biliote, des heures eutii•res sans mot dire.

How tiresome must such ill•judged curiosity be to the illustrious patriot. In a previous paragraph, also, M. Pauchet alludes to the number of people who visit Garibaldi for the purpose of obtaining his signature to - portrait cards, and who are not well received by the generaL One may well believe, although M. Pauchet does not say so, that the greater part of these intrusive, are English ; for the people of this nation appear to have leas " tact" than any other in the civilised world.-1 am, L:c., • • • Fontainebleau, October 21.

During the whole of to-day the weather has been exceedingly tempestuous, the wind blowing a hurricane froni the south-west, with violent squalls of rain. All the vessels of war in harbour have sent down royals and top gallant mute, and made all snug, in anticipation of a wild squally night. While the gale was at its height, the screw steamer Rosario, 11„Commander Graham, commenced dragging her anchor, but steam having been immediately got up, no casualty to the vessel occurred. WOOLWICH, OCT. 22. LAUNCH OF THE CALEDONIA.—The whole of the arrangements were this day completed at this dockyard, under the superintendence of Mr. Turner, master ship wright., for the launch of the iron-plated screw frigate Caledonia, on Friday next, at two o'clock. A raised plat form with seats has been erected at the bow of the vessel for the accommodation of members of the Admiralty, naval and military officers, and other visitors, the number of tickets being limited to 600, the whole of which have been issued. A limited number of persons have also been pre sented with tickets for admission to the Fisgard Bag-ship, or to be launched on board the Caledonia. In accordance with instructions issued by Commodore-Superintendent Sir F. W. E. Nicolson, the public will be admitted to the yard without restriction by the main gate at LIS, and e will enter at the factory gate. After the launch th= donia will be hauled round into dock by two steam-tug vessels. She has at present only six of her armour plates fixed, and will be completed in dock. Heavy Armstrong guns have this week been landed at Hobb's Point, Pembroke-dock, from Woolwich, foe the fortifications just oompletod at East Hook Point, Mil ford Haven. They are now being removed to that important battery, one of those intended for the protection of the dockyard and arsenal.

In our account of the gale on Monday we men tioned the lose of the Lotus, at Chile, near Portsmouth, and the death of ten of the crew. including the captain and mate. Au inquest was Lehi at Chile on Tuesday afternoon, at which the two surviving seamen and other enteessee gave in substance the following account of the disaster. The vessel, the Lotus, from Demerara, Captain 111'N•i1, beloogiog to Mr. Dunlop, of Greenock, with • cargo of sugar and rum, struck under a rut of the cliff off Chile, termed " Ladder," sod not far from the spot where the Clarendon Indianian was lost on her homeward voyage in October, 1536, and other vessels have since perished. The Lotus left Demerara 42 days laid Saturday, and passed Start Point at eight o'clock on Sunday morning ; it was then blowing strong and raining, with the wind about S.W. At about ten o'clock a light was seen a little on the wea ther bow by the men on the foreyard who were stowing the foresail, and the mate was heard to ray it must be St. Ca therine's. The ship was then hauled close to the wind, ith the yards braced sharp up, to endeavour to weather the point, but, finding she would not do so, the ship was put round, her head then being N.N. W., in which position she was about 20 minutes ; the land then could be seen close aboard to leeward. Another attempt was then made to wear bear, but as soon as the helm was hard up she struck the groned heavily. James Gould, one of the surviving seamen, was at the wheel, and thus describes the occurrences that followed : " The sea immediately broke over the ship and knocked the captain down as he was standing oe the poop giving orders to clear away. I think he was washed overboard then, as 1 never saw him afterwards. Another sea immediately fol lowed the first and took away the chief mate and the long boat and gig. Thu carpenter then jumped off the starboard quarter into the sea and swam for the shore, sod got on the beach, bat was takes back again by another sea which broke over him. I did not see him again. By this time the masts were gore overboard, and the ship parted in halves below the chains. I clung to the wreck until three seas west over me, when I got oe • rum puncheon, end the next ma took me and the puncheoe right ashore, but another sea took me out again. I was afterwards washed in again, and found myself lying among some broken timber and wreck high on the beach. I think it was about • quarter before 12 when the easel struck. The captain was about 44 years old, and had bolo about three years captain of the Lotus. There was no I time to fire pas for assistance after the rowel Una. We [Stamped, Id, Additional.] law no one until abroad • quarter to rix In the meriting, when I and Anderson, the other man saved, got up the cliffs and met • fisherman named Philips, who took us to the house of another fisherman named Wheeler, where we bad clothes and refreshment found us." Thomas Anderson, the other seaman, saved himself by swimming sabots. The most distressing circumstance connected with the wreck is that during the struggle to save the ship, when in the midst of the breakers, nu person on shore was cognisant of her position, although houses stood at no great distance from the edge of the cliff, and the Atherfield Coastguard Station stands on a jutting promon tory about half a mile to the westward, while the Brook and Grange lifeboat' were both at hand and ready for imme diate :aunching and service. The time, however, at which the reseal came ashore, and the short specs which sufficed to break her up and destroy all on with the excep- I Con of the two seamen who were so for tunate as to reach the shore, is a sufficient explanation why co help wee given to the crew of the unfortunate ship. The subjoioed are the names of the crew drowned : Captain Wm. M'Neil. master; Richard Watt, chief mate; W. Henderson, mooed mate ; Edward Murray, of Dublin, ; Peter Montgomery, cook and steward ; Hugh re a rgl e n r , carpenter • Robert Patterson, A.B. ; Neil Dur rock, A.B. • Lamb, A. 8.; John Kelly. O.S. ; Michael M atthews, O.S. ; and Wm. Dunkin. OS. The name" of those saved :—Thoinas Anderson, A. 8., and Jas. Gould, A.B. During Tueaday (we learn from the Wotern Morn ing News) several more vessels took shelter in Plymouth, Sound, to avoid the motioned heavy weather that prevailed in the Cheese. The only accident, however, which they report occurred to the barque Moulted , of D umfries, from Bahia, with • early of sugar consigned to this port. She was last from Queenstown, and lost her jib-boom. Messrs. Green's ship, the Dover Castle, Captain Ayles, bound for Melbourne, with 125 passengers, put back again into the Sc , ltgesterday. She left this port on her third attempt to on her voyage at about two p.m. on Saturday last, and proceed the following morning (Sunday) bad reached some 30 miles be odd the Lizard, when the wind shifted to an unfavour able quarter. This, with the gale, occasioned her return. —An accident happened on Tuesday in Catwater, by which two women narrowly escaped being drowned. Joseph Collins, a river pilot, was giving two Irish women, limpet pickers, • passage in his boat from the Batten to Sutton Pool, and while he was setting more sail • squall capsized the boat. Collies being able to swim immediately struck out for the Batten shore, which was close at hand, and which he reached in safety. The accident occurred close to the Diligent, Trinity tender, but her only boat was ashore. Her mate, Daniel Nankivell, hearing the alarm made by a boy that was on deck, ran up and jumped over board in a praiseworthy attempt to rescue the women. He was, however, carried away . by the tide, and before he could recover his headway against it, two boats lowered from schooners that were also anchored near picked up the women and took them in. The women were landed at Batten, where the residents very benevolently and successfully exerted themselves in their resuscitation. The sloop Industry, of Plymouth, which put into the Selcombe harbour on Thursday to avoid the gale then blowing, was lost about three miles off Saloombe on Saturday. It seems that as the wind had shifted a little, and the captain wished to get to Plymouth as quick as be could, they put to sea on Saturday morning, and when about three miles off the harbour she was struck with a sea, and beiug deeply laden, began to SU rapidly. The boat, which was being towed, was immediately pulled up, and the crew got into it. The vessel went down directly after the crew left her. She was laden with a cargo of Portland stone, from which place she was bound to Plymouth. The sloop (which belonged principally to the captain) and the cargo are, wo understand, unin sured. The crew were unable to save any of their effects. In respect to Mr. Restarick's ship the Princess Royal, we have been requested by Oaptam Tozer to state that she did not touch the ground whilst being towed into the Sound. In consequence of the great strength of the gale at the time the tugs were not able to tow her, and she was obliged to drop anchor twice, and it was this which gave rise to the story that she had touched the ground. Eventually she was brought safe to her berth, without any damage whatever. During the gale on Sun day the telegraphic wires were broken, in oomequinme of a tree falling across them near the Torquay railway station. The broken hull of the Jamie Oscar, with the masts, rigging, stores, &c., at Gunwalloe, are to be sold by auction on Wednesday. The continued gales of the last few days have brought mountainous seas into the hay, but fortunately no vessels have been mar the coast. One was observed from Mullion early on Sunday, about six miles off the shore, standing away, and she cleared the Lizard in safety. The gels was felt at Scilly. On Sunday night the Belgian brig Owar parted one of her chains, and drove close to the reef of rocks called the Potts. The crew had all their clothes packed ready to leave the vessel if she struck, but fortunately she drove clear and the anchor brought her up and held her on until another anchor was taken to her by the pilot cutter Atlantic. SHIPWRECK ON &AWHILE HEAD. Early on Monday morning a very large barque was observed to be ashore on Rattray Head. The steam tug Derweot happen ing to be in the north harbour of Peterhead, the steam was immediately pat up, and Means. Stephen and Forbes, shipbuilders, accompanied the steamer to rescue the crew of the unfortunate vessel, as it was evident from the very high wind which prevailed at the time that they could not long keep afloat. On the way 1 to the scene of the disaster a small boat was seen by the steamer, apparently in distress, and the crew of which being unable to row it was drifting out to sea. On reaching the boat it proved to be one of the ship's boats, containing • portion of the crew, who were immediately taken on board, quite benumbed: It appeared that another of the ship's boats contained the remainder of the crew, and that she was still farther drifted out to sea. A look-out was immediately made for the other boat, and the remainder of the crew were shortly after picked up from their perilous position, and all safely landed at about 10 o'clock, a.m. The unfortunate vessel, which proved to be the Water Lily, of Sunderland, 330 tons burden was bound for Leith with a cargo of wheat from New York , from which latter place she sailed ou 11th September. The crew consisted of eleven men, besides the master, and one passenger. She struck on the Heed about 4 o'clock on Monday morning, and the crew saw no hope but to betake themselves to the boats, having saved their clothes and the ship's papers.—Baiaffokire Journal. [TWOPENCE officer, who would be free from all legal prejudice in his award. It might be that, from this battalion being scat tered over the county, and from the few opportunities they possessed for battalion drill, they never could ex pect to compete with the Robin Hood Rifles as a batta lion ; still, as iegarded company drill, there was oo reason why they iLolikt not stand upon en equal footing with that corps. He urged them to talk over the matter with their officers, and if they accepted his offer, he should have pleasure in presenting a challenge cup, to be com peted for by the companies of the two battalions of the county. He believed that such • competition would be conducive to excellence, and therefore should only be too proud to assist in promoting it. (Applause.) He believed that its effect would be to pat both officers and men upon their mettle. The great efficiency visible in the Robin Hood Corps be attributed to a large extant to the and zeal of its officers. If officers attended to therr ler a there was no fear of the battalion becoming efficient ; if they did not, it was impossible for the battalion to come up to the mark. The officers who did not attend to duty must necessarily labour under great disadvantages when they were called upon to act. There was no reason why this should be so now, seeing that any officer could go to Aldeishott, where, in a very short time, he could acquire a good knowledge of his duty. That he never could acquire by the mere study of drill books ; but if be would adopt the other course, the result would be of immense ad- I vantage, not only to himself but to the men under his com- I mend. (Applause.) We had seen is another country, where a great war is now waging, the lamentable defect of a want of efficient officers. You might extemporise 1 tolerable wldiers almost out of anybody. You take ; • few undisciplined men, end plans them among those who ere tolerably efficient. The result is, they soon come upp to the mark. So they become to a certain extent tdsnbly competent soldiers. But aeons scold not be made in this sodden way—they require time, skill, and study. Well, now, look at that frightful struggle that had been going on for • year and a half, sad was it not pitiful to behold? He spoke not with regard to the army of that country, because he believed that it was composed of as tine • bodyof men as were ever seen—of @a greed material as ever an army was composed of ; but what were their officers? He ventured to say that few of them were fit to command a re giment, much lass • brigade or • divisions. He attributed that result to the fact that the men in command had not been trained to the work, and it was against such disastrous multi; that he would warn Volunteer officers of the impe rative necessity of making themselves meters of their duty. Well, now, many of the men before him had come long dis tancs to attend this review, and he would not detain them further, except to may that he had the greatest possible pleasure in Wend* their inspection.

PUBLIC MZITINQ AT BILADVOILD.—A large and influential meeting was held at the Extbange-buildings, Bradford, on Tuesday, to consider what steps should be taken to relieve the distress in the cotton districts. The Mayor presided. Mr. W. E. Forster, M.P., moved the tint resolution, which was expressive of sympathy with the suffering operatives in the cotton district*, and deelaring that the time had arrived for making an effort on their behalf in Bradford. The hoe. gentleman urged various reasons why the meeting was bound to take immediate steps to relieve the suffering in Lancashire. He pointed to the increasing list of pauperism, sa shown by Mr. Far nail's report, and stated that Sir J. Kay-Shrritiewortn in formed him that in the months of November and December the number of persons requiring parochial and other aid would probably be from 350,000 to 400,000. He defended the employers of Lancashire from the imputation of neglect ing their duty in this crisis, and declared that the sympathy of the employers towards their workpeople, and the great sacrifices they had made for them, would be remembered and tend,to bind both the more closely together hereafter. Mr. H. Harris seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. Among the speakers were Mr. Alderman Brown, Mr. T. A. Stowell, J. H. W. Ripley, Mr. Band, Mr. R. Kell. Mr. A. Harris, arid Mr. Garnett (of Clitheroe), who bore testi mony to the sacrifices of employers'.

The First Nottinghamshire Administrative Batta lion of Volunteers were inspected • day or two ago on Southwell cricket-ground, after which the men were ad dressed by Colonel Dick, who remarked that some of the companies were deficient in drill. He was glad, he said, to have met them at last as a battalion, and also to see that they had made considerable proficiency in drill. They _had now been long enough • battalion to know what would be expected of them, and he need not point out the mistakes that they had made in their find review as • body. Those mistakes were such as could be easily rectified by attention to drill ; and he trusted that during the winter months the men would give such attention to their instructors as would carry them safely over the next inspection. Some of the companies were already very proficient, and all that was re quired in their case was to keep up their knowledge by practice. Others were deficient—some he could name, but it was not necessary, for the men knew it themselves. Next time lie hoped to see them in uniform—either all in shakoes or all io caps ; at all events, all alike, and not some with white and others with red facings. He would I not detain them longer, except to say that, from what he knew of the commanding officer, Colonel Perkyos, it would not be his fault if they were not well drilled before the next inepectioo. (Chests.) The Duke of NEWCASTLE, after • few preliminary re marks, said much had 170011 said recently by inspecting officers as to the necessity of company drill, and he would take the opportunity of urging it again upon both men and officers, because without it they multi not hope for effici ency ; whilst, on the other heed, by careful attention totbat part of their duty from this time forward, he had no doubt of their standing well on the next occasion of the inspecting officer coming round. (Hear, hear.) On the occasion of the inspection of the Robin Hood Rifles he addressed a few words to them upon this ambient, and he also told them that, however highly he appreciated excellence in marksmen, and however necessary it was that they should be good shots, yet that was by no means the most important part of the education of a soldier. It was easy to find a great number of good show at long die tetical ; but if there was not thorough discipline and all the qualities of good soldiering brought out, they would never be able to stand before an enemy. They were not to misun derstand him ; he by no means wished to depreciate the practice of shooting ; all he desired was, that the more essential point, drill, should not he neglected or made sub servient to rifle practice. If prize shooting alone was considered, this battalion would distinguish itself. This was • matter which had occupied his mind • good deal, and he would now mention • remark which fell from Colonel Dick at the officers' dinner, on the day of the review of the Robin Hood Hines. Colonel Dick on that occasion said it would be a very greet improvement if, instead of conferring all the prime on the best shots, prises were conferred upon the best-drilled oompanies—(applansel—that mixes given to the beet shots were not of sdvantege to anyone except to the individual. Now, be confessed that that suggestion had entirely removed the difficulty which he bad always seen. and that he had most fully entered into Colonel Dick's idea of awarding prates to the best drilled company. He hoped that the remarks which he then ventured to make to the Robin Hood Rifles would be as well received by this tettalloo. If so—if they would accept his sug gestion— he should have pleasure in giving, next year, • challenge cup to be competed for by the companies of b oth battalions. (Cheers.)
