Is the political calender January is the month of mystification.. Rumour at this season touches the confines of fable, and surrounding realities fade into a fog-bank of coming events. Tele graphic agencies engage in a fierce rivalry of in vention, rhapudirc as often as they have nothing to recount, and quit the narrow boundaries of fact for the airy realms of what our neighbours call "eventualities." The period of Pantomimes and Christmas Trees, and Twelfth-night characters, and Ghost stories round the fire, is celebrated in this fashion by the Continental tribe of !Jobe wiewiv.., which has its :affiliated members in our own island. This annual fit of furious credulity, with its extravagant supply of ready-made delu sions, is not without excuse. It is the childhood of the year, and must be fed with children's fond. The opening of the Parliamentary session is the hot youth, with its exuberance of wild oats. But a month or so before the meeting of the prin. cit al European legislatures the universal love of the marvellous rises to a paroxylon of apprehenaiosi, and not only every club, but almost every house, in the country insists on a shock or a surprise at lead once or twice a week. It must Le confessed, however, that in the be fIUTM of 11461 the political sky is dark enough for the boldest imagination ; never had the augurs &richer opportunity for a tearing trade. There is not a speck of blue sky in the world's horizon ; we are wrapt in cloud.' from cast to west, and from num to south, and from every point of the compose bad weather is brewing. All ilte great " " are developing and expanding to omino u s din:tuitions on either sloe of the Atlantic. In Europe, the "settlement 1815 is a chaos out of which what nrw order shall arise Everyb , kly declares that the present year is to do a gnat stroke of history ; but at what or at whose cacti Th.:, too. :dc the Ineation. Italy is preparing to take the last—the most difficult, the decisive step towards the fulfilment of her immortal dream of independence and unity. Fighting, arming, agitating at once ; with the enemy in her midst and at her gates, she is about to pass through the fire of such a domestic struggle as it seems to the British mind an abuse of language to describe simply as a "contested election." In this steady old land of ours a contested election, even in the most revolu tionary borough, is an affair of so much beer, so many broken heads, and so many bank notes on one side or the other. In the new land of Italy a contested election is an ordeal the issues of which are life and death. Every sound heart and head in Italy knows well that this election must be a supreme trial of patriotic constancy, prudence, and perseverance. GARIBALDI has, with characteristic simplicity and straightforwardness, disappointed the factious intrigues of rash and unscrupulous revolu tionists who were conspiring under the cloak of his name, by the declaration that he is not a can didate for • seat in the new Parliament, and that his watchword is—union the pledge of unity. It is difficult for disinterested friends of Italy at a distance to conceive the folly of men who call themselves patriots pretending in such a crisis to make the elections to the National Parliament tarn on a point of personal liking or antipathy. These men talk of a Cavourian or anti-Cavourian policy, but they forbear to name • substitute for CAVOI'R, or to specify the policy that is not to be CAV,.(-K's. We who stand afar off can see plainly enough that it is to the cool head of the great statesman at Turin (whose life is itself a destiny for his country), not less than to the fiery heart of the great soldier at Caprera, that Italy must owe her final and com plete emancipation. We know no " anti-Cavourian" policy which could have even driven Austria out of Lombardy ; or rather which would not have made the last state of the Peninsula worse than the first. The task of the statesman is often an invidious and ungrateful one even in times of peaceful progress and prosperity, and in countries where independence and freedom are immemorially secure. How much nmre thankless and invidious in a country like the Italy of to-day, in which nothing is cer tain but the uncertainty of to-morrow. It is no easy matter for the highest stateamauship, even in old and settled governments, to be at once popular and prudent. For Count eAVOllit, at this moment, it is an absolute impossibility. Nothing but the rarest combination of timely audacity and constant caution, patient sup pleness and watchful firmness, could have guided the vexed fortunes of the Peninsula thus far. It will tax all the " icebrook temper" of an inflexi ble will, inspired by all the fiery passion of a secret faith, to accomplish what remains of an enterprise at which the boldest expectation holds its breadth. Brilliant daring in the field is crowned with glory, though it he by death. Silent and persistent daring in the Cabinet brings no reward but misrepresentation to the living, and tardy acknowledgment to the dead. The states man's daring must often consist, not so much in renouncing public applause, as in actually courting public injustice, and this because its claims upon the justice of history were a politic submission to exigencies and sometimes a strategy of retreats. It is remark ably easy to be generous at another's expense ; it is scarcely less easy to condemn expedients and compromises of which neither the necessity nor the object is our own. The sacrifices which Count CAVOUR has been obliged to suffer for the sake of the one great passion of his public life, are not, we may be sure, counted by him among the felicities or the triumphs of his career. But ea acts of policy they are to be judged by their results. The planter of the tree is forgotten ; but the spreading branches and the ripening fruit are the delight of generations. The siege of Gaeta has thrown • light on much that was obscure in the difficulties that surround the immediate future of Italy. We do not say that it has lightened that darkness, but that it has made the darkness visible. The position of Count Cavotia's government can only be estimated by those who take into account the imperious bene factors as well as the declared enemies with whom it has to desk Professional revolutionists, of course, are neither daunted nor arrested in their ideal march of triumph by the armies or the diplomacy of Great Powers. But the professional revolutionists have never yet succeeded in blowing dowu walls by the sound of • trumpet. If it could be definitively asoestained that the most active and powerful of the benefactors of Italy was as anxious to complete the independence of the Peninsula as he was • week ago to protract the civil war in the Neapolitan States ; if it could be proved that he desired to see Italy released from his overpowering beneficence, the place of Count Cavoua might be filled by any loud voiced improvisator° or mystical charlatan as long as • GARIBALDI remained to do the sterner work. But ideal benefactors do not hail from the Tuderiee, and we recommend the electors through out Italy to remember Gaeta and Rome when they rush to the ballot-boxes in the name of Venetia as the enemies of Csvooa. ME COADEN, 47D HIS WSST RIDINO FRIENDS. Yesterday morning a meeting of the banquet committee woe held at the of of the Secretory of the Bradford Chamber of Commerce, in Bradford ; H7W.

In addition to the gentlem4o from Bradford and the neighbourhood. were present depu• Leta., from Huddersfield sad Batley, and a letter was read from the President of the Leah Chamber of Com• rumor, expressive of the come , and co-operation of Leeds. A COMMUOICSUCIII from Mr. Cobden. M.P., dated Algiers, Jan. 1, and addressed to Mr. Ripley, WY read. It stated that Mr. Cobileci felt highly honoured by the very flattering revisition which had been forwarded to him to attend a banquet or peirir at Bradford; sad that at any ordinary moment an iavitatiou so numerously and ineuentially signed. could have only received from him a prompt and grateful acceptance. He was obliged. however, under present circumstances, to ask the forbearunce of ha (needs, owing to his having a slight bronchial affection. He would be glad, therefore, if his Yorkshire friends would permit bins most gratefully to appropriate to himself the ur of their proffered hospitality to bins without at the present moment fixing the time when he could hope hr the pleasure of meeting them in permit ; and the committee resolved that, imam& as Mr. Cchtlea will not be in England before the ressdas of parliament, and that lb, propoed banquet or sit u * to him and to the Right Hoe. W. Z. Gladstone, and the Right Hon. T. M. Gibson, can not, therefore, be given at that time, Mr. Ripley he re quested to writo to 31r.

Mr. Whitehurst, Mr. Elt, Mr. Mark E. Marsden. Mr. Bootetne, Be.. W. If. Bonner, Mr. Man, k.c., were pewit. It mse determined to hold & •of the Moods of the ballot at the London Coffee House, Ludgate-hill, on the . ',ening of the fart Wednesday in March. A report wee read from the secretary at Manchester re.pectin the woven* a conference of the Lancaoltire member oat the society in Manchester during the present month. This cub ject was adjourned for Anal deci.ins to the nest sitting. The measures to be taken is reference to the coming elec tions for Leissder and South Wilts wen es° sosaidered. Tic Hnv. H. J. Poonz's Case.—The came of this gentleman, whom. license as carte St. P e ar s , liCnightslwidge. was Is.tbdrawn by the Bishop • London, is to non e before the Archbisbcp of Costelbtry on appeal next =oath at lamborth REDUCTION OF THE NATIONAL ICEPENDITURE. The following communication to the Premier ix being circulated for eignatare antoopt liberal members of the House of Commons : " TO TILE RD.HT HON. VISCOUNT PALVIRSTON, FIRST LORD OE THE TRUISM. "Ily Lord, —Wo feel it our duty, as member. of the liberal party iu the House of Commons, who have generally supported your government, respectfully to express to you the anxious concern with which we view the present state of the public expenditure, and to request for the subject the very seriolui oondileration of the government in pre paring the estimates for the next session. " We cannot but hope that the enormous expenditure of the current financial year was turned upon the government against their will by on unhappy combination of circum stances. Its amount, however, was so far beyond what has ever been known when the country was nut engaged in a Europese war, that a great reepon.ibility will rest on the government and the House of Commons if it should not be materially reduced at the earliest opportunity. " The foreign relations of the country at the close of the year are such as to encourage a reasonable confidence in the maintenance of peace. The war with China is at an end. The Italian revolutions appear to be issuing in the establish ment of the constitutional rule of Victor Emmanuel over the Peninsula, whilst the neutrality which has been ob served by England is acknowledged both at home sad abroad to have been the policy of wisdom. Above all, our relations with France have become decidedly amicable, having obtained the guarantee of a Commercial Treaty favourable to the interests of both countries, and being made still more friendly by the abolition, on the part of the Emperor, of the purport system in France, especially on behalf of the subjects of her Majesty. " I' oder these circumstances the country will naturally expect a con.iderable reduction of our warlike establish ment. from the extraonlinary scale of the present year. " We would also invite attention to the civil ►nd miscel laneous expenditure of the country, which has for many years been in course of rapid and extraordinary iecrease, until it has reached au amount which loudly demands revision and retrenchment. " We are convinced that retrenchment will prove the truest policy of the government as the only method of meeting the financial exigencies of the state, satisfying the expectations of parliament, conciliating the good opinion of the commercial and monied interests, allaying the dissatisfaction of the taxpayers, and preventing the loud outcry which would inevitably arise in case of another unfavourable harvest or any check to the public prosperity. " We are compelled to say that we should view au ex penditure for the coming year approaching that of the current year with great regret and disapprobation ; and we believe that that would be the feelings of our constituents and of the country at large. " We have therefore thought it right to offer these sug gestione in a friendly spirit to your lordship, and we trust they niay not be thought unworthy to receive the serious consideration of the government.—We are, my lord, your lordship's most obedient servante." Amongst the signatures already obtained are those of Sir Jame, Duke, Mr. R. W. Crawford, Mr. Baines, Mr. Bris tow, Mr. Burton, Mr. Crossley, Mr. Ewing, Mr. S. Gurney, Mr. R. Banbury, Mr. Mellor, Mr. Pilkingtou, Sir J. Shelley, Colonel Sykes, and Mr. J.. 1. Turner. EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 11, 1861. BASVUET AT YORK.-SPEACH OP SIR C. WOOD. The Lord Mayor of York gave a banquet yester day, at which some of the magnates of the county were present. Sir C. Wood also attended, and replied to the toast of " Her Majesty's Ministers," proposed by the Earl of Zetland. Sir C. WOO% after referring to the treaty with France and the volunteer movement, congratulated the meeting on the termination of hostilities in China. He had been a member of two governments which had been engaged isChioese wan, and they had run some risk in maintaining what they be lieved to be the honour sod the intereste of this country. In the first war, the government appealed to the country. The country decided they were right, and he trusted that he might now congratulate the country upon having brought these hostilities to a final conclusion. Cruelty and treachery had .marked the conduct of the Chinese from first to last ; but the united skill and gallantry of our troops had exacted retribution for their conduct, and had, he hoped, impressed upon them a Imam which would preserve uninterrupted our relations with that country for some time to come. (Hear, hear.) Hitherto some petty mandarin Lad dealt with the barbarians, and reported what he pleased to the Emperor ; but we had at last shown the supremacy of our power in the smoking ruins of the Emperor's palace, and had proved to the Emperor and the people that it was our forbearance alone that prevented the destruction of that empire. The Chinese could no longer treat us with insolent contempt ; and he trusted that they would respect the articles of that moderate treaty which had recently bees agreed to. In all that con• corned this country, at home and in our own immediate dependencies and relations, we commenced the year with tranquillity and prosperity. He wished he could say that in looking abroad the prosperity and tranquillity was as great. We had sympathised with the efforts of the people of different 1 , 111111 of Italy to relieve themselves from the mist griuding tyranny that ever existed, and we had admired their efforts to consolidate as it were their liberty. We had proclaimed aloud that no foreign interference ought to prevent the efforts of a people to win their liberty. He trusted the other powers would act upon that principle, and that we should see that nation whose historical recollec tions were so proud, vindicate for itself a place among the nations of Europe, and regain a portion of the glory which in former ages belonged to it. It was some ' what surprising, that whilst in Italy different people had been struggling for liberty sad unity, ou the other side of the Atlantic a greet and free nation was abusing its liberty to effect • separation of the Union. It seemed to him too early at present to look forward to what the issue of that struggle might be. All we could do was to express our hope that among a nation of kinsmen the soil might not be pol luted by civil intestine war and bloodshed. Thank God, we had removed some time ago the stain and curse of the slave trade, and the inhabitants of that county of York had taken no small part in effecting that triumph of hu manity, which hail been profitable to ourselves, as we might see by the example of those who had not done so. (Hear, hear.) In the List century Yorkshire returned one of the greatest champions for the abolition of slavery—Wilber force, and on the Lut occasion when the united county sent members to parliament they returned another champion in the person of Henry Brougham. (Loud cheers.) He con cluded by proposing " The health' of the Lord-Lieutenants of the three Ridings of York." Cbt Court. *- OABORNE, JAN. 10.

The marriage of Mr. Hope Scott, Q.C., to Lady Victoria Howard, the eldest daughter of the late Duke of Norfolk, was solemnised in the catholic chapel of Arundel, on Monday last. Long before the hoar appointed for the eseemony the chapel, which is a small building, was filled with spectators. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Father Faber, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Butt, in the form peculiar to the Roman catholic church. There was nothing particular to note in the appearance of the building, further than that the altar was decorated with ten vases of beauti ful flowers. Everything was conducted in the must quiet sad unostentatious manner. The youthful bride was led to the altar by the Rev. Canon Tierney, and was simply attired in a white glace silk, with a Brussels lace veil ; but without • wreath ar ornament of any description. There were six brichamsida, hang the five sisters of the bride, Lady Minna Charlotte, Lady Mary Adeliaa, Lady Etheldreda, Lady Philips, and lady Ana Howard, with the youthful daugh ter et Mr Hope Beat. They were dressed in pale blue glace silk drams, with white cashmere mantles, and white chip bonnet, plainly trimmed with white ribbons. There were present also youthful Duke of Norfolk and Lord Edmund Howard, the younger son of the late Duke of Nor folk. The Duchess of Norfolk also witnessed the ceremony. The bride and bridegroom left in the afternoon for Norfolk 1101210.1 t /I mite for Abbotsford, the estate of Mr. Hope Anna. We regret to announce that Lord Vivian met with a torero iscsident whilst hunting on Saturday last, one* a disloostion of the shoulder. His lordship is, how- MC. doing well.

By the liberality of a Manchester gentleman, Mr. T. B. Potter, of Belie-lull, the Peel Park Museum at Salford is now, we believe, to be en riched with • fair bust of Cromwell, the original east of which, haying just seen it in Mr. Noble's studio, Brutne-street, we are glad to be able to approve. It is moulded of the size of life. There is the expresaion of life in its countenance. and what we seldom get from sculp- ture, a glaom of life in the eyes. It may occur to some vintois when they first look at the robust features of this face, that, massive mid strong as they are, they do yet weer • certain aspect of frank, jolly grace and manly tenderness, which comports not with the vulgar conception of a turbu• lent and sturdy " barbarian," as Oliver Cromwell has been termed in the euphonious style of Mr. David Hume. But recollecting the juster impressions of his character which Mr. Carlyle and recent biographers (Mr. Langton Sanford, the Isi.t awl one cf the best) have aided us to form that objection vanishes, which might per haps unconsciously arise from some lingering shade met upon him in our imagination by the Epicurean Tory's aimless epithet. of slanders. A change of considerable importance to the pro fession of attorneys and solicitor, in Ireland has recently been lElfle with respect to the admission of apprentices. Hitherto no qualification was required beyond the psyment of stipulated fees, hut, in compliance with the recommen dation of the Society of .tttorucys and Solicitors, the I...Ascher' resolved upon subjecting the candidates to strict testa of their ~reneral knowledge, and • regular examination of a comprehensive and severe character has bees instituted.

THE DISCUSSIONS AT "Ns LONDON FARMERS' CLUB. Mr. Alderman Mochi, in a letter on these dis cussious, says :--" Why is it that the central club of the moot powerful interest in this country, representing • body of several hundred thousand farmers, with a capital of probably 150 million., can only muster a few hundred members, and possess a fund of some 3001. or 400 f. It is said that those are our best friends who tell us of our faults ; and it is as a sincere well wisher to the club that I make the following remarks. Mixing as I do with many of the great guns in agriculture, I have reason to believe that many of them take the same view as I do of the position of the olub ; and it is notorious that the mass of Intelligent and wealthy farmers do not subscribe to or fre quent it. There is a boisterous hilarity and coarse up roariousness, mixed with occasional pose penonality, exhibited on the part of a few individuals, which is exceed ingly offensive to men of science or persons of refined edu cation ; and I have heard many inch express their disgust and repot that the well-conducted memliers should permit or wink at such bear-garden scenes as are occasionally enacted. For my own part, I have made, and can make great allowances even for coarse allusions, when they fall short of direct personal insult ; but sine that took place 1 have ceased to expose myself to • renewal of arch treat. mast. What would be said In the House of Commons, if, in discussing a question, an honourable member bawled out that the argument must he unsound, because the pro. poser was a tailor, a mapseller, or a cotton spinner or could we suppose one of her ifejesty's ministers, in the House of Lords. ignoring the existence of some ex • Lord Chancellor, because his father happened to have been a grocer, and sold figs? A man who dared to make such allusions in such a company, or in any other well-regulated society except the London Farmer.' Club, would be condemned and scouted. And yet, when I have descanted upon the general or detailed question of agricultural amendment, I have been reminded that I sold razor-drops ; that I had a shop in town ; and on a recent °condos, when I was discussing the sewage question before the Society of Arts, a promi nent member of the London Fanners' Club, in opposition to my argument for the application of sewage to the soil, so fail tenet himself as to allude to my connexion with ' the Unity Bank, and to suggest that I was a swindler. I quote my own case as an illustration of others ; and I ' venture to say to the better disposed or more educated members of the club that by their laughter at such pro media., they adopt and sanctio% them, and render them selves, as • body, responsible Tor than.

HUNGARY. (nom ous esti 031INIPONDENT.) PESTH, Jas. & The free pardon of Count Teleki will nut fail to induce all the municipalities to claim full amnesty for the exiles and refugees. The county of Bats and the town of Buds were the first to speak out the wish of the country. Other counties protest indirectly against the banishment of so many patriots. At Peath Count Teleki was el ec t e d (before his pardon) member of the board of admi nistration, Abadj returned Ladislas Vjhazy, now a citizen of Texas, Cyanid elected the exiled Bishop Horvath and General Klapka. Veszpren did not forget Colonel Misr, now in the Sardinian service, and Zemplin had the courage to put the name of the arch-rebel Louis Kossuth at the head of the board of administration. These are significant facts, which Baron Vay and K Schmerling ought not to overlook. As to Szemere's, the late minister's, Austrianising letter, in which he warns the Hungarians not to put faith either in Napoleon, or Cavour, or Garibaldi, it has not made any impression upon the public. We know too well that all the concessions and the re-orenization of Hungary are exclusively due to Austria's fear of Napoleon, Cavour and Gari baldi. Without the battle of Solferino, the an nexation of the "Emilia, and the oonquest of Sicily and Naples, Austrian policemen and red-tape officials would still disturb and embitter every moment of our life. The formation of a Hungarian Legion and Kossuth's activity had the greatest part in the sudden transition from slavery to freedom. The country feels deeply indebted to the zeal and ener getic patriotism of her exiles. The question of the sale of Venetia, brought into a practical shape by M. Perreire's well-known pam phlet, and taken up unanimously by the preen of Eng land, is still one of the principal topics of conversa tion. Everybody feels that the destinies of Hun gary are most intimately connected with that ques tion. All the moderate and conservative elements of society fully agree that the mission of Venetia is highly desirable, since by the loss of the Italian province the lands of the crown of St. Stephen would considerably gain in importance. Hungary, with her dependencies and the federated kingdoms, would form not only the greater, but by far the most important part of the empire. Hungarian statesmen would not be anubbed any longer, and Hungarian in terests would receive more serious attention. Hungary would in fact soon become predominant. Austria would reform of necessity, and having abandoned her reactionary, stupifying German policy, and, dis missing her effete statesmen, recruited all over Germany, she would turn her looks to the East and to the future, not to the West and to the past. But all the younger and more energetic portion of the public make a dead set against the sale of Venetia, which would at once prevent war. They desire most ardently that the court and cabinet of Vienna should prove obstinate, and stickle about the point of honour, because they expect a war in the spring, a descent of Garibaldi, a revo:utionary rising in Hungary. All this is no secret, even our papers tell it in their leading articles ; still at Vienna the reactionists are blind and deaf, and rejoice that there exists in Hungary a considerable party which is opposed to the sale of Venetia. LORD BROUGHAM ON SLAVEHOLDI.VG. A correspondent sends to a cotemporary the fol lowing extract from a celebrated oration, 14 apposite to a recent letter by the same author : "Tell me not of rights—talk not of the property of the planter in his slave. I deny his right--I acknowledge not the property. The principles, the feelings of our coin mon nature rise in rebellion against it. Be the appeal made to the uoderstanding or to the heart, the sentence is the same that rejects it. In vain you tell me of laws that sanction such a claim! There is a law above all the enactments of human code..--the same throughout the world—the same at all times ; such as it was before the daring genius of Columbus pierced the night of ages, aad opened to one world the sources of power, wealth, and knowledge ; to another all unutterable woes—such am it is at thin day ; it ix the law written by the finger of God on the heart of man; and by that law unchangeable and eternal—while men despise fraud, an:l loath rapine, and hate blood—they dual reject with indignation the wild and guilty fantasy, that man can bold property in man. In vain you appeal to treaties—to covenants bitween nations. The covenants of the Almighty, whether the old covenant or the new, denounce such unholy pretandone. To these laws did they of old refer who maintained the Africin trade. Such treaties did they cite—and not untruly ; for by one shameful compact_ you bartered the glories of Blen heim for the traffic us blood. Yet, in spite of law and of treaty, that infernal traffic is now destroyed and its votaries put to death like other pirates. Huw cave this change to pass! Not, assuredly, by parliament leading the way ; but the comae,. at length awoke • the indignation of the people was kindled ; it deeceud ed in thunder, and smote the traffic, and scattered its guilty profits to the wind.. Now, then, let the planters beware—let their aesembliee beware—let the government at Lome beware — let the parliament beware . The some country is once more awake, awake to the condition of negro slavery ; the same indignation kindles in the bosom of the same people, the same cloud is gathering that annihilated the slave trade. and if it shall desavtal apin, they on whom its crash may fall will not be destioyed before 1 have warned them ; but. I pray that their destruction may turn away from us the more terrible judgment of God.' NORTH MIDDLESEX RIFLES. The tiret annual general meeting of the 29th North Middlesex Volunteer Rifle Corp* took place on Wed nesday evening in the spacious vestry hall of St. Pancras, for the purpose of receiving the report and halunce-aheet, and electing the committee for the ensuing year. Viscount ENFUW,M.P., lieutenant-coluncl of the regiment, presided, and about 400 of the effective. were present. The spllaut colonel was supported by Captain ]tau and several of his brother officers, the adjutant of the regiment (Capt. W. Jones), Major Wilkinsou (of the 14th Middlesex Volun teers), and a number of honorary members. The noble CHAIRMAN, having expressed the pleasure and pride he felt in meeting the corps, briefly traced its history from the 12th of December, 1859, when it we. established by a public meeting held in that hall. Although, like most other rifle corps, it had great difficulties to contend with at the outset, still, through the persevering efforts of his friend Cap.min Hoes laud other gentlemen by whom he was sur rounded, he (Lord Enfield) was the commnaling officer of a volunteer regi ment which we,. now in a most pro•perous position. ( Cheer'..) The Secretary, Mr. CHARIER GREEN E, read the report, which congratulated the :members on the extreorthuary progress the corp. had recently made, and the excellent prospects before it—n result attributable in a gro.t degree to the zeal and clergy of Captain Koss during a critierd net difficult period when there was great delay in authori,ing an increase of numbers. The report touched upon the enor mous expense entailed upon that as well as other curia for drill .sergeants, and which bad been augmented in the case of the 29th to the c:.tent of fiBl. 7.. by the drilling of what was termed the "Collard andeollanlCompany," which sud denly ..teerleil, and joined another corps without having paid may subscription, refu , ing to do so when afterwards applied to, N114..411 niemben. of Messrs. Collards' establishment who sat upon the committee, had openly admitted the justice of the claim. Notwithstanding this and other drawbacks the balance-sheetshoweda handsome balance at the bank, r> the donations and subscriptions for the year having amounted to 1,1911. 17s. 3d. _ _ On the motion of Mr. THOMAB HO,, seconded by Capt. CAnar.oa, the report was unanimously adopted. The rule relating to the helaicription of effective, was amended as follows : "The annual subscription for enrolled member shall be If. de. (including rm. for the band fund). payable in advance, either yearly, ladf.yearly, m tmartrrlv, at the option of ash member. Fur new members etindled after the 31et of March, the 30th of June. or the 30th of Septeniber the sub• Pcaiptions for the current year shall Le 19s. Gd., 13e., and tie. lid. respectively." The committee for the ensuing year having been elected, a cordial vote of thanke wee given to the noble lord in the chair, and the meetln4 aeparated.
