The jubilee of the Wert Bromwich Auxiliary of the British sad Forgive Bible Society was celebrated on Tuesday by a public meeting. The Earl of BAUM/BUST presided. The ruble CH A IRM AN. who was received with loud ap plause, said he would soy to his good (needs, the men sod emus al West Brunswick, that it gave him peat and sin ree phone* to be again &mowt them, after au lour an in• tared of slowese, and the more so because when be came bare be hand lied great pogrom bad been made io adyssociog the istersela of the miry they all so truly loved, that they had yr their Marta to the work, and that the results had hew era to the effort, sod that they bad every reason to Umiak tied and to take mime. He wished be could say there hod tem mottling new since he saw them last One thing bad ceemed to which he would make allusion. As excoller end admirable moo. who case DR that platform whes be wee there four years ago, had pee to his net. He spoke of the Rev. Jobs Angell James—(applause) —a man whose sympathies allowed no sanitarian spirit to control the Christian love in his heart, sod who had detennised, with the grace of God, to allow full play to his largo, liberal, sad generous feelisp. But runiethiog else had ocearred. Sim be stood on that platform four years ago am bad been an erroneous, singular, and chimerical production, in the form of • volume called " Brays sad Reviews." (Applause.) Thor " Essays and Reviews" had be.. drawn op and publiehed by learned profemors, by mm holding high station in the I:Diversities—moo who re ceived, be did not Imitate to say, the breed of the church for the purpose of preaching very different doc trine., and lay iew down very different principles, from thaw to be found in thsi bad book. (Applause.) The " EassYs and Reviews" were directed point blank against, the book • that they loved, which they had deternsised to spread threnglriut the whole world, aid which, try God's bleeping, they weedel so weed, despite all such opposition. The Dusk weer formed as to attract atteation, soil then to go seam • In balloon, and. thank God, to explode into utter nothing. (Applause.) They might ask him why, at such I a meeting m that, he touched upon this subject, To this he would answer that it wee the main matter—the thing itself —the main subject they bad before them ; fur if there was a particle of truth is the " Emays and Reviews.," then the Bible Society was t h e greatest imposture and piece of charlatanism that had ever existed in this world. • Bible .Society said that thin was the pure, simple, aduoadultentted Word of God—that it was the [mi rage of iuspiratioo, and that it had been dictated by God himself. These were their principles, rod if they were true. then those put forward by the &mints end Reviewer' were f •Ise, irretnevably false, in anything they hail said or had done, or could lo until the end of time. (Applause.) He loved totonoh upon these things when he came amongst thole friends whom he loved from the bottom of hie heart— the working men of England. He bed loved and respected them long, and be hoped that they loved and respected him. He liked to talk on thee. subjects, as he wished to drive the truth borne to the mem of people, to met them against the doctrines taught in the " Emmy. and Reviews; " to show them that the heart was far better than the bead ID all thorn spiritual matters that related to eternal love ; awl to prove to them that in the simplicity of love they would attain a far deeper and truer insight into the thaws of the Most High than by the mist elaborate study of geology and metaphysic.. It might he asked, " What can they knew of these things whose talk is of bullocks:" and he could say that they would know much more by experience than those could possibly know who only knew from study mid burning the midnight lamp. Navy of the working men of England in the agricultural and niechanical districts had very little time to devote to the study of history and science, but they might have- and many of them bast— heard of the triumphs that boil been achieved by the Bible at all times, how it bad changed barbarism into civilisation, made the savage become mild and gentle, and raised weenie from the condition of servitude to that of equality with man ; how it bed raised us from the appalling subjection in which we were bound heart and mind to the Papacy ; how it had introduced the great Reformation, and given us freedom of body, of thought. nail a expreasese, and how it bad given us power to walk r Christie.. and free men. When the working man had men, by the simple operation of God's truth upon the heart, a bad and drunken husband become a model of conjugal fidelity and kiroows— when be bad seen a re ' mint. son and slaughter brought to support aid love their father and mother—and when he had aro a bad father and mother caused by its working to become kind and good permits—when ho • hail seen them rote champs wrought by its effects, would he hesitate to receive it se being sent down from heaven and inspired by God, because sonic learned professor sitting in his chair said be had some doubt se to whether the world was treated in six slays or in six generations, or that because ichthyosauri had been toned in chalk the she. could not have been created on the sixth day? Thor great practical experiences, these great triorupfla the Scriptures tool effected; and when science should have produced upon the !Muds of a millionth part of the Mimeo race • millionth part of the good that was dune by the Bible every hour in England alone, thou and thee only could science come into creemetitiou even with the very fringea of the masted Word of God.

The Brighton and Sussex Museum was inaugu rated with muck i'etat on Tuesday. The inaugural discourse was delivered by Professor Owen, F.E.S., at three o'clock, is the Music-room, at the Pavilion, which was crowded to excess by a distinguished and fashionable assembly. Boon after the hour named the lecturer appeared on the platform, accompanied by the mayor, William Couingham, Eaq., M.P., J. 0. Dodson, Esq., M.P., H. Catt, Fag., Alderman Bur rows, the members of the Inauguration and Museum Com mittee, with several other gentlemen. The Bishop of Chi chester bad promised to be present, and the proceedings were delayed some time in expectation of his lordship's arrival ; but this not hiking place, The MAYOR having opened the meeting, Professor Owe: c, who on rising was received with load ap- planes, said he felt' much honoured by the levitation given hiui to discourse before them on some subject which might seem applic.ible to the auspicious occasion on whi c h th e y were all assembled—the imuguration of the Brighton and Humes Museum in that moat beautiful and convenient building. fie did this with very greet pleasure, bemuse to any who set themselves apart from those pursuits that are the most attractive and are the most general in this parti. cularly busy country—the pursuits, he meant, which seemed to s offer those who made them their Mtn the acquisition of improved social position, or wealth, or power—whoever seta himself apart for the more abstract immigrations after scientific truth, and especially if he stood apart as a helper in the mere acquisition of • knowledge which they were all in pursuit of, aunt have very great plower." in attending such &display of sympathy with his pursuits es the founding of a museum indicates, and particularly a museum of natural objects such as the museum be (the lecturer) had this day to open and inaugu rate. The collection of the beautiful works of nature is • work in which all feel a pleasure. It is one that seems to be instinctively planted in our nature as a valuable occum tioo. We might say, indeed, our first parents were placed I in • glorious museum ; and certain it was that the first ll operation recorded as basing been performed by our common father, Adam, was the naming of the natural objects among which he was placed. (Applause.) It seems as if that work were naturalised to him ; that he bad bees inspired to the knowing the natures of all the creatures to which he gave names. And it was this same work which still engrossed us. We still endeavoured by the exercise of our intellect to arrive at the same kind of knowledge. The acquisition of the highest truths, the generalisations in natural history of the regular collections of natural objects, is a work which still engrossed a large sham of attention and intellect on our globe. And yet it might be said that everywhere—if we had the taste to examine the operat i ions of nature—that everywhere we are really plaml in a museum. He might adduce, for exempla, Gilbert White, who, while mantle; in • little village in New Hampshrte. had devoted his intellect to the natural researches of the country around him, and who had giveu us from the results he then achieved • book the most valuable in all the range of natural history, sad one that will remain so long as the English tongue is spokes. Gideon Mantel, when practising as a provincial surgeon in a small obscure town in the provinces, found leisure time to look into the marvels of the counts y sinned him, sod as the result of that labour had enriched seise tifie literature with descriptions of some of the moat extra ordinary extinct animals, and with which his name was now linked in science. Frederick Dixon, of Worthing, in his work on the fossils of this county, bad given every MAU AO example that all around him was • museum from which he can select numerous objects to enrich his descrip tion. Edward Jesse—(applause)—who bad the charge for so many years of her Majesty's parks and palace*, in the course o f his duty had given additional charms to that delightful place of recreation, Hampton Court—given a charm he meant to say by the beautiful adapta tion to the eujoyment of the public. He, wherever his duties celled him, found a museum of nature, and he had contributed much to science by his gleanings of natural history. His friend Mr. Catt, again, was another in. stance of those who found their dwelliug-places as it were • museum. Out of the wonderful and rich fossiliferous deposit. in this neighbourhood he bad brought to light • greater number of new forms, moreparticularly in fishes, than any other person who h.a devoted leisure time to this brunch of the history of fossil remains, and the collection was now • striking and beautiful feature in the museum. He knew oo more pleasurable leisure than one which would mable him to speed a few weeks in the study of that part of the beautiful MUSOUI:11. the main object of local museums was to preserve the objeets of extinct natural history found in the immediate locality, and out of the facts they establish were the general acientific facts of the county built up. The lecturer alluded impressively to the fact that they did not lied museums of natural history established in capitals or cities till after the great revelation which laid the basis of the enormous rise and improvement which had since taken place in the moral character of the human race. It was true that in the time of Alexander the Great, his tutor, Aristotle, that man of mighty intellect, and who applied that intellect to every branch of science, turned sums of money which would now seem fabulous, and which would make our Chancellors of the Exchequer stand aghast, to the collections of specimens of natural history; but after be had made hie observations on them and com pared them with other known species they were thought no mere of, and their preservation was rot attempted. In deed, it seemed thipeople of that time were not at all skilled in the art of preserving birds, and animals, and nature' history objects. Although at no period iu the whole his tory of civilisation had Do many rare living animals been brought to the view of • cultivated people as during the time of the Romaa period, yet natural history gained nothing by all their exhibition in the amphitheatre. From every quarter of the globe were taken to Rome elephants, caineldeopards, hippopotami, and other rare things which have been looked oa with wonder by modern eyes, but they were exhibited to be seen sad slaughtered is cruel games, and the exhibitions Whiles' rather to debase than to elevate the minds of that voluptuous and enslaved people, so that it was not till we found men devoting their powers to the acquisition of truth, under a sense of the responsibi lity for thu use of the talents leut to them—it was only I then we began to bud Christian nations in their several capitals adopting these museums. He then proceeded to show some of the general principles of enlightened natural history which have lasso elicited by the use of such large and extensive collections of natural objects as most of the great capitals in Europe can now boast of. The lecturer closed his discourse, of which the above is necessarily but a very brief outline, by expressing every good wish for the prosperity and hog continuance of that excelleut iustitu- Um and means of improvement of the mind which hail been established withiu that budding in our Brighton and Sussex Museum. Professor Owes resumed his seat amidst loud Mr. N. ColrlainraM„ M.P., proposed • resolution in which he was sure they would all acquiesce, and he must, say ,he could not deny himself the great gratification of congra tulating their worthy mayor upon having presided upon the present occasion, and • most interesting one he thought it was. A gentleman of European reputation, one whose mune would give character to the age in which he lived, had, at the request of their fellow townsmen, come down hero to deliver a lecture oil • most interesting subject io con nexion with the museum of national history. A collection of a great number of objects of this kind to • superficial observer might appear of little or no interest, but when he whom he might venture to call the great arch-priest of nature came forward and with the magic of his lore inspired life and inte rest into those old dry boom, which hail so long slumbered within the bosom of the earth, such a collection es this was then viewed with the highest interest. He thought that when they saw bow touch the study of natural philosophy and of that wonderful world which had been created around them bad been neglected—fur very important studies, he admitted—for the study of dead and classical languages—dill he could hut congratulate their worthy mayor hod his fellow townsmen that the time had come when the establishment of a museum of nalunil history had become a necessity for this popula. tiou. His friend, Professor Owen, had come from • museum which stood unrivalled in the world for its nuieifold objects of art, literature, and science—where the student of comparative anatomy—that science of which Professor Owen was so great a master, — might wamler bewildered among the unrivalled objects which would meet his view. (Applause.) To such a col• lectioo they could offer but • very poor specimen, but he thought theft was one thing in which they might ant an example, which he should like to see followed in that great institution, that of delivering public lectures a certain number of times in the course of the yen, surrounded by examples from which the lecturer might expound to his hearers, to England, and to the world (thanks to the Cpress) those inter e stin g discoveries. (Applause.) They od set the example. In inaugurating their museum they had invited the first comparative anatomists io the world to come down sod expound its mysteries. He trusted that the lecture which Professor Owen had given them to-day would form the first of • aeries which might serve to interest those cf enterer years, and instruct the younger generation which was about to follow. (Ap plause.) Mr. Coninghani said he must apologise to this graceful and intelligent audience for having so long tres passed on their attention, and concluded by moving • vote of thanks to Professor Owen, a gentleman who richly de- , served the thanks of them all. (Applause.) The proposition was carried by acclamation. Mr. DODISON, M. P., proposed • vote of thanks to the Mayor for presiding on this occasion, and in doing so he took occasion t 3 comment on the feelings of pleasure which must animate him at beiogailled on to preside at the inauguration of an institution which had been introduced to their notice enter such auspicious circumstances.

TES HYTHE SCHOOL OF MUSKETRY. The annual report of the Inspector-General of Musketry for the year ending March 31, 1861, which has just been laid before the Commander-in-Chief, consists mainly of tabulated returns of the ride training of each regiment in the service, and shows the Ist bettaliou 22nd Foot as the best shooting battalion of the army (it was also the best in the year 16,;9-60), it. " figure of merit" being 51.66 ; and the ho. 6 company of the same battalion as the best shooting company in the army, its " figure of merit" being 55'46. " The shooting of the army, as a whets, rac e unproved," General Hay remarks, "and another yeses ex perience proves the soundness of the system now in operation to train the venous corps and battalions to the efficient use of the rifle, not only in the United King dom, but in the several colonies and possessiors of the empire where her Majesty's troops are quartered." At the Myths School of Musketry 176 officers, including six of the Irish constabulary, have undergone instruction ; of which number 112, or 64 per cent., became firstrJaas shots, and 56, or 32 per cent., second-class shots, leaving or only 4 per cent., in the third clam 731 sergeants and rank and tile have been instructed at Hythe, of which num ber 416, or 57 per cent , became first•class shots, and 292, or 40 per cent., second-class shots, leaving only 23, or 3 per cent., in the think class. 247 volunteers from different corps have been exercised at Hythe through the modified course approved for that force, of which number 133, or 54 per cent., became first-class shots, and 112, or 45 per cent., seeond-class shots, leaving only 2 in the third clam In all the practices that establish the "figure of merit," there was an improvement on the preceding year, with the exceptions that in file airing the volunteers comedown from 11'68 to 11'26, end in skirmishing from 4'06 to 4'89. The figure of merit was, for officers, 46'24 ; for non-com missioned officers and privates, 44'86; for volunteers, 4567. lest year the figure of merit was 44'18, 41'37, and 43'72 re spectively. General Hay remarks that " the volunteen are specially drilled by the firsoclass argued instructors of the establishment, which circumstance, coupled with the great attention they give to the subject, will account, in some measure, for the proficiency they acquire in so short a time." Of the 176 officers who pissed through the school in 1860-1, 72 entered the first class and 43 became marksmen, making? pinata and upwards in thefirst class. Of the 731 eergeantasud rank and file, 288 entered the first class and 41 became marks men. Of the 247 volunteers, 90 mitered the first class, and 88 of that 90 became marksmen. The per ceutage of marksmen to the total number instructed is, therefore-Officers, 24 ; sergeants and rank and file, 19 ; volunteers, 15. To the number of persona in the first clam the per tentages are re spectively 60, 49, 42. The three partied of volunteers who were at the wheel between May 9, 1860, and March 31. 1961, consisted of 78, 74, and 95 members respectively. The Ame of merit of the first party was 45111.1; the per ceotage orbit class shots, 47. Of the second party, the figure of merit was 47'11; the per cartage of first-class shuts, 45. The third party took 45'02 as their figure of merit, and pvs 66 per cent. first-class shots. The figure of merit is the average of points made by all the individuals in each party in the first period PO rounds at 150, 218), 250, and MO yards-five rounds each), in file firing, standing, at 300 yards; in volley firing, kneeling, at 400 yards ; and in skirmishing, between 400 and 200 yards. First-class shots are those who, having made 12 pants in the second class (20 rounds at 400, 500, 550, and 600 yards-five rounds each), are admitted to fire at 650, 700, 800, and 9110 yards. Notwithstanding the gene ral average of officers is higher than the general average of soldiers, the greatest number of points obtained by an indi vidual at the emend distances was in fav"ur of :be latter at the 200. 250, 700. 800, and 900 yards distances, while at each of the other deferrers the greatest number the earns with officers and men. Ia the third and first classes also the greatest number of points obtained by se individual was in favour of the soldier.. in the second class officers and men were equal in their highest number. The greatest average points obtained by • single " party " iu the several classes was, in the thin) class officers 21'18, soldiers 23'77 ; is the second class, of 14'76, soldiers 10'86 ; in the first class, officers 7'90, men 7'51. The conclusion is, that individual soldiers and the " parties" of soldiers have the advantage over officers at from 150 to 300 pods ; that while individual officers and men are equal at 400 to 600 pude, parties of officers have a great superiority over parties of men at those distances ; and that while individual men take • sensible advantage over individual officers at from 650 to 900 yards, theofficers in parties have superiority of les than a half per cent. over the golden. THE MILITARY OUTRAGE AT ShEYFIELD.—At the Sheftield Police Court, on Tuesday, the investigation into the charge against a young man named Michael Mason, of ktillfoot, of tiring upon several persons on the public read, was resumed. It will be remembered that the prisoner was in company with several soldiers, that a boy was abused by the sergeant, that the boy's father iuterfered, and the ser geant and Mason (as was then stated) tired eight or nine shots on the people on the road. The sergeant was degraded to the ranks, and sentenced by court-inertial to twelve months' hard labour at Weedon. The CAW against Mason was now taken, and the evidence on the opposite sides was extremely coutradictory. After this evidence, Mr. Wilson ()reread said the beach had no alternative but to dismiss the case. No jury would convict after the evidence given by the two soldiers, and whatever might be the impression on the minds of the bench as to whether Mason had fired or not, he must be discharged. THE LATE GALE.—TII6 Gcnertl Steam Naviga tion Company's steamship Clarence, Capt. Wilson, arrived at Groton from London on Monday at midnight, having encountered very severe weather. On Satunlay, about five p.m., saw a brig on the Middle Sand in the Same, with sig nals of distress flying, and the crew in the rigging waving for help. With much difficulty the steamer approached, on which the crew, eight men, took to their boat, but it re maining attached to the vessel by a rope, it was only by great exertion that Captain Wilson wan euabled to save them. The men stated that the vessel was the Viniro, of Hartlepool, coal-laden ; that in attempting to conic to an anchor one of her cables broke, when she drove on the Lind ; tluit five steamers had passed them without making any attempt to help them, and as it was getting dark when the Clarence applatrod they had almost given up hope. The master remained in the vessel ; the nun state that he posi tively refused to avail bimse lf of the MOWS of reicue.

The ves sel has usually been espied in the South American trade ; but on the occasion of her wreck she was chartered for • voyage to the West Cornet of Africa, and sailed from the Mersey for that coast in June last. The voyage was suc cessfully prosecuted until the Bth of August, when, enter ing the river Congo, she ran ashore at a place known es Shark Point, and almost immediately become • total wreck. After she was driven on shore the natives gathered from the interior on to the beach iu great numbers, and, despite the exertions of the captain and crew, took possession of the cargo, valued at 6,0001. The natives are named Mosso longue, sod wore armed with musket'. They immediately commenced shooting at the unfortunate crew,who were obliged to make their escape in the schooner's oat to Ilaw their lives. After they left the vessel, the natives continued to fire at them, until the current carried them out of range. Having received intelligence of the outrage, her Majesty's ship Arrogant arrived ut the River Congo about eight days after the wreck, but in the meantime the natives had taken the vessel to pieces, to get the iron snil copper bolts from her, and with these, the cargo, sails, spars, and copper from her hull, they made off into the interior. Before leaving the Congo, the Arrogant destroyed a number of huts which the natives had constructed on the beach. As the Shark was owned in Liverpool, it is more than likely that her loss will be opened bymiturance. --- Tae BLACK PEINCL—Thin ponderous vessel was on Tuesday removed from Victoria Harbour, Greenock, to anchorage at the Tail of the Bank, there to he finished pre vious to leaving Clyde, which she is expected to do in about , two months her.o• No difficulty was experienced in the removal. Them was a very high tide, with about 25 feet depth of water, in Victoria Harbour, and as the Black ; Prince was drawling about 23 feet, there was a liberal , margin. Two tugs were in attendance, and steam was up ! on board the large mewl, but it was almost unuecessary. The number of nun Dow employed on board is said to b e I,36o.—North British Mail.

The New York Herald of tho 24th ult. thus speaks of the situation of affairs at that date : Leesburg is in the bands of the Union troops. The ad vance of General Stone Waal& that place on Monday, and General Banks across the Potomac ou Tuesday, is consi dered by military men a decisive success, although it costa the Unionists the loss of a gallant general and a colonel. The further development of the movement substantiates this idea, as our despatches show that Leesburg is in the bands of the Union troops, the rebels apparently having evacuated the place and fallen back, as no further resist ance was met with. General McClellan was present at General Blake/ headquarters during the Union advance. A smart and sum:rueful contest took place at Lynn Creek, Missouri, on the 17th, and Major Wright's advance from Rolla to that place has been satisfactory in its results. General Price, the rebel, was last heard from in the neigh bourhood of Greenfield, still going further south with his forces. A portion of General Polk's force., it is said, had been diverted from their usual locatioos and sent to New Orleans and Mobile, and that only GOO rebels were with him in Kentucky. This statement, although probable, has nothing but rumour to substantiate it, and may need confirmation. A reconnaissance in force was made yesterday in the neighbourhood of Fairfax Court-house by General Blanker. The result showed that no body of rebel troops of conse quence was in that neighbourhood, but that they bad re tired further back from our kites.
