CITY NEWS—SATURDAY. The American rumours current, yesterday being disproved, the stock markets to-day showed in creased dulness, particularly Midland and Lanca shire and Yorkshire stocks, which fell * per cent. The funds, after sustaining a decline of s, closed at yesterday's quotations. In the other markets business was limited, and the alteration in prices unimportant. The American advices to-day show that the in evitable effect of the large issues of irredeemable government paper is now making itself felt in a striking manner. The exchange has risen tol2B-1-, with great excitement, and the premium on gold to 161 per cent. Silver commanded 8 per cent. prem. Public securities had not risen in anything like equal proportion. There was a moderate demand for money in Lom bard-street at 2i per cent. for good bills. At the Bank of England discount-office very little business was done. At Paris to-day the Thtee per Cent. Rentes opened at 68.40, and closed at 68.35 for money and 68.40 for the account, being sc. better than yester day. Thirty-five thousand pounds in gold was taken to the Bank to•-day. Vice-ChancEillor Kindersley proposes on the 28th inst. to make a call of £5 per share on the contri butories of the British Provident Life and Fire Assurance Society.

This house, which carried on a banking business, was established only two or three year s ago. Th e amount o f t h e liabilities has not transpired. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY . CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The ac counts from the maNufacturing districts for the past 'week are again of a satisfactory character except as regards Manchester, where business was in a great measure suspended, owing to the Ameri can intelligence. The woollen trade at Leeds re mained moderately active, and at Bradford, Hud dersfield, artd Halifax some considerable sales have been effected in goods suitable to the Canadian markets. The hosiery and lace departments of Leicester anti Nottingham have been brisk. In the hardware ills tricts, however, there has been no ma terial improvement, and at Birmingham, Sheffield, and 'Wolverhampton, the dealings were principally Confined to ,firtiQles suitable for immediate home requirements. Business has been resumed in the Money Market this week on a very limited scale, and affairs still present an extremely quiescent appearance. The current terms; for first class bills with the joint stock and pri vate establishments are 14 and 2 per cent., and the consequence is that very few en quiries are received at the Bank of England. Under the circumstances, it will not create sur prise, if the directors of that establishment, at their mee ting on Thursday next, should reduce their minimum quotation to 2 per cent. The b alf-yearly meeting of the Mediterranean Extension Telegraph Company will take place on the 7th proximo. Two O'CLOCK. Rather more firmness is perceptible in the Mar ket for Public Securities, but the transactions are rather restricted. ,Consols are 928 9/ for money and the 7th proximo.

It opened this morning at a 1 prem., subsequently advanced to 1 13, and is now 1,1 prem. The Foreign Market is quiet, and very few changes have taken place in prices. Turkish 6 per Cents, are 841, 1, and the 1858 Loan, 721 731. Business has been done in the Egyptian Loan Scrip, at 9 prena.; Spanish Certificates are marked 91 -1; Russian Scrip paid up, 931 s ; and Italian 5 per Cents., 70t • In the Railway Share Market the operations to-day were of a very restricted character, and in one or two instances prices exhibited rather less firmness.

He, Sir G, Grey, Lord Glenelg and L or d C olchester are the only men of ministerial rank now on the list, Lord Eversley receiving his £4,000 a-year for service as Speaker. Not even his political opponents will grudge Mr. Disraeli a grant e arned by laborious, if not very successful serv i ce , parlicu larlY when they see that he receives only half the pension of Mr. John Granville Penn. Who in the world is he that the nation should be paying him £4,000 a year, the salary a Puisne Judge, for doing what f—Spectator.

The demand for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday ruled somewhat inactive, but there was no dispo sition on the part of sellers to accept lower prices. The spring corn trade was steady, and the quotations were well supported. In flour a fair average business was doing at full currencies. On the continent the wheat trade was firm at full prices. Advices from New York state that a good business was doing for export to this country on higher terms. , The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were very small. The imports from abroad were 36,766 quarters of wheat, 25,625 barley, 19,626 oats, 3,160 beans, 13 peas, 520 tares, 55 linseed, 5,917 rapeseed, 169 maize, and 2,149 sacks and 12,694 barrels of flour. The fresh arrivals of English wheat to this morning's market were very small, but the condition of the samples was tolerably good. Owing to the fineness of the weather sales progressed slowly, both in red and white qualities ; nevertheless, last Monday's currency was fairly supported. At the close of business, a moderate clearance had been effected. There was a somewhat extensive show of fozeign wheat on the stands, but the supply of really fine samples was comparatively small. Good and superior qualities met a good sale, at full quotations; otherwise, the trade ruled inactive on former terms. Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request, at quite previous rates. With foreign barley, the market was extensively sup plied, but the show of home-given produce was small. Generally speaking, the demand ruled slow; nevertheless, last Monday's prices were maintained. Malt was in fair average reque;t, at full quotations. The supply of oats being small, the demand ruled active, at an advance of quite 6d per quarter. Beans and peas—owing to the limited supply on oiler— were very firm, and the quotations had an upward tendency. For both English and foreign flour, there was a fair de mand, and prices ruled firm.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. We were well supplied with foreign stock to-day, never theless the demand for it ruled steady at full prices. For the time of year the receipts of home-fed beasts were moderately extensive as to numbers, but the general condi tion was by no means prime. The best Scots, short-horns, and crosses commanded a steady inquiry at an advance in the quotations of 2d per Sibs, otherwise the beef trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. A few Scots and crosses realised 5s per 81b, but the general top quotation for beef was 4s 101 b per 81b. _ From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire wo received 1,900 short horns ; from other parts of E ng l a nd, 900 various breeds; from Scotland, 180 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland 250 oxen and heifers. With sheep we were well supplied. Downs and half breds, however, were comparatively scarce, and ha good re quest, at 2d per Mb more money. All other breeds moved off slowly, at late rates. The best BOWLS sold readily at 58 2d per 81b. We have to report a steady inquiry for prime lambs at:full currencies. Otherwise, the lamb trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. Calves, the supply of which was rather extensive, moved off slowly, on former terms. There was only a limited inquiry for pigs, and in some instances prices had a drooping tendency.

The complainant said on Saturday night about half-past eleven she was proceeding to her residence in Cecil-street, when the prisoner and another young man came up and said, " Oh, my dear," and took hold of her in a very in decent manner. She remonstrated, but the prisoner re fused to let her go, and seized her again in a still more objectionable manner. She rushed passed and went into the Strand to look for a policeman, when her brother fortunately met her, and then the two men walked away. As they were returning to Cecil-street they met a policeman, and the prisoner and his companion coming up again she gave them into custody. . _ The prisoner did not deny speaking to the complainant in Cecil-street, but he denied touching her in an indecent manner. Mr. Conic asked the prisoner where he resided. He replied at Woolwich, where he carried on the busi ness of a baker. Mr. Corrie—But that is not the address you gave when you were at the station-house. _ _ The police-constable said the address given was that of the prisoner's father, who kept the King William the Fourth, King William-street, Strand. Prisoner—l again say I never touched the young woman. She struck me with a bottle, and I then certainly gave her a push. Mr. Corrie—But she would not have struck you with a bottle if you had done nothing to her. Prisoner—Yes; the young man who was with me at the time is in attendance. He was not detained at the station house. Henry Thomas, a clerk, said ho was with prisoner when the affair occurred. He beard him speak to the young woman, but he did not see him take hold of her. Mr. Corrie—What were you both doing in Cecil-street at half•past eleven on Saturday night? Witness—Looking at the river. (Laughter.) Mr. Corrie—That seems rather a peculiar fancy at that hour of the night. You don't deny the assertions of the complainant, and I believe her version of the transaction to be correct. Without she had been assaulted she would have had no occasion to strike the prisoner with a bottle. He I suppose thought he had got hold of a person of a diffe rent description of person, and in order that he may recol lect the mistake I shall fine him 405., or send him to pri son for fourteen days. WESTMINSTER. ANNOYING A QUEEN'S COUNSEL.-Emily Erviaro, a well•dressed woman of the town, was charged with creat ing a disturbance at the house of lir. E. P. Price, QC., 3, Thurloe• square, Brompton. Mr. Lewis, jun., solicitor, attended to prosecute. He said Mr. Price was upon circuit, and his family at East bourne. On Thursday night the defendant went 'o his house in Thurloe-square, and knocking and creating a crowd of persona. deolarod that she would not go away until 12 o'clock unless she saw Mr. rrice, and as she continued the disturbance it was found necessary to give her into cus tody. She had not the most remote claim upon. Mr. Price, but had for a length of time annoyed him. She had been taken to Guildhall upon his charge, and ordered to find bail for twelve months, but at the end of a month was liberated, upon her writing letters expressing her sincere contrition for what she had done. She was, however, no sooner restored to liberty than she repeated her annoyance, not only to Mr. Price, but to his wife and f am ily. She wrote letters to him demanding moray, and urging him to come and see her. She was taken before Mr. Henry, at Bow-street, who gave her a fair warning and put her under recognizances which she had now broken. A person in charge of Mr. Price's house having proved the annoyance, A policeman showed that the defendant was intoxicated. Defendant said she was very sorry, but she wanted some money in order to go home to her father and mother. Mr. Dayman said she must pay 10s. penalty, and find bail for 12 months ; if she had any claim upon Mr. Price this was not the way to enforce it. SHIPPING -THIS DAY. (BY MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH).

AMERICAN TAX AND TARIFF BILLS. Much to be regretted as are these proposed additions considerably °o an t r o ski the d etrh aa tio u ' n i' al exceede r s i s ff t Bills thhe of leHouse recommendations a o s y f t R Represen tatives p a r r e , s e l o •e -f tm t a h at e iyverse committee, trade will not altogether cease be tween the American ports and Europe. This we are distinctly told by the American press is not pro posed. The tariff, it is affirmed, is for revenue pur poses, not for protection to American industry, although a large measure of protection will neces sarily result. Against the American shipments of grain and provisions there will, as hitherto, be re verse shipments of raw material, and to some extent of European manufactured articles, although the demand for the latter will be diminished both by the high rate of duty and by the less affluent con dition of the masses of the American people. Should the war continue, the condition of the American people will of course get worse, and probably their home manufacturers may supply almost all that will be consumed. This year it appears there will be little or no diminution of the cattle and cereal products of Ohio and the Western States, and the active American export trade now in progress i n n e c r e e s t s u a r r n i y a n implies in t e r e a s n t i ng active Americqu esti onane import tradewhether those imports will consist of American securities, English sovereigns (which does not seem to be a likely article of import at present), or English and continental raw commodities and manufactured articles. The course of events must alone determine which it is most profitable for Europe to expioriat thatand for America to rece ive. Meanwhile, it may b e some consolationtothotshee engaged in trade w i t h America to reflect that these fi sca l movements portend r ather a fr esh cheek to, than a total stoppag e of our interchan ges with cou ntry.

A delightful fete was held on Saturday, in the grounds of the Crystal Palace, in aid of the funds of the Royal Dramatic College. The company, which was exceedingly numerous, comprised nearly the whole of the dra matic talent of the metropolis. The attendance of non profess onals also was very great. The fancy stalls were of the most attractive description, and presided over by Mts. Stirling, Miss Stirling, Mrs. Alfred Mellon, Marie Wilt on, Miss H. Simms,Miss Amy Sedgwick, Miss Lydia Tho m p son, Miss Catherine Lucett ,, Miss Herbert, Miss Elsworthy, Miss Latimer, Mrs. E. Fitzwilliam, Miss Katheri ne Hickson, Miss A:nes . Burdett, and several other eminent ladies. The exertions of the fair saleswomen were particularly successful. The comic element consisted of a thrilling melo-drama of the good old Bartlemey fair times, by Cirujano, author of the "Spanish Girl, or the Spy of Naples,' , & c. : entitled "Alfonso and Claudine, the Faithful Spouse, or the Hated Race," illustrated by the real players (metropo. Titan members of the profession), at Richardson's Theatri cal Show ; an original burlesque by H. J. Byron, Esq. • and Mr. J. L. Toole's Photographic Estab lishment,' in which Mr. Paul Bedford acted as " Develeper." We had also a royal Punch and Judy, Works of Eminent Masters Illustrated, and various other attractions, many of which created the utmost merriment. The band of the Grenadier Guards, in addition to the celebrated troupe belonging to the company, performed at different intervals throughout the day. The fete was a complete success. DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE. A meeting of noblemen and gentlemen connected with the cotton mane factoring districts was held on Saturday (by per mission of Earl of Ellesmere), at Bridgewater house, There were present the Earl of Derby, who presided, the Marquis of Westminster, the Earl of Ellesmere, Earl Dude, the Marquis of Hartington, Earl Talbot, Lord Ingestre, M.P., Lord Egerton, Lord Skelmersdale, Mr, Algernon Egerton, ALP., Mr. Leigh, M.P., Mr. Cardwell, M.P., Mr. Gregson, M.P., Mr. Bazley, M.P., Mr. Cobbett, M.P., Col. Wilson Patten, M.P., Mr. Garnett, M.P. , M r. Hibbert, M.P., Mr. J. L. Ricardo, M.P., Mr. C. Turner, M.P., Sir J. K. Shut tleworth, Sir J. Scarlett, Sir T. Hesketh, the Maycr of Manchester, &c. The Earl of DERBv,having been called to the chair, said he thought the time had arrived when the owners of pro- Flirty connected with the cotton districts were bound to come forward for the relief of the distress which prevailed there, and which was gradually increasing in severity. The object of raising a public subscription was not to relieve paupers, but to assist those who were still struggling to maintain their independence, and thus to prevent them from being unavoidably added to the list of paupers. He hoped that the appeal now about to be made would be cheerfully and liberally responded to. Colonel PA.TTEN moved the following resolution : " That the increased distress in the cotton districts calls for increased efforts for relief ; that it is incumbent on those who are connected by property with these districts to take a prominent part in contributing such relief ; that a com mittee be appointed for receiving subscriptions to be trans ferred to such association for the relief of distress as they may think fit; and that the undersigned engage to con tribute the sums set against their several names." Mr. A. EGERTON, M.P., seconded the resolution, which was put and carried unanimously. The committee nominated included the High Sheriff of Lancashire, the Marquis of Westminster, the Earl of Elles mere, the Earl of Setton, Lord Egerton of Tatton, Sir J. Gerard, Sir J. K. Shuttleworth, Mr, Cross,'and the Mayor of Manchester. ' The CHAIRMAN deprecated the confounding of the object of the meeting with Government aid. Government assist ance should not be resorted to until all other resources had failed to meet the case, and the owners of property were bound to come for ward in this emergency. The following subscriptions appeared in the subscription list :—The Earl of Derby, £l,OOO ; the Earl of Ellesmere, £1,000; the Marquis of Westminster, £1,000; Lord Eger ton of Tatton, £l,OOO (£5OO of it to Manchester) ; Earl Ducie, £lOO ; Capt.

THE INFLUENCE OF RAILWAY TRAVELLING ON HEALTH,—Hardwicke, Piccadilly —The nature of this little work will be best indicated in the words of the pre face :—The proprietors of the _Lancet, anxious to procure for the public and the profession sound information in lieu of vague surmises on this subject, appointed recently a scientific commission to conduct an inquiry into the in fluence of railway travelling on the public health; and the result of their labours is here printed in a complete form. The assistance of the most able members of the medical and engineering professions has, it will be observed, been freely given ; and it may fairly be said that in this report are epitomised and digested all the ascertained facts which bear upon the question. We strongly recommend the work to the notice of all who are connected with the management of railways, or in the habit of travelling by them. The mass of evidence goes to prove that whilst the actual danger to life in travelling by rail is comparatively small, that to health is, from various causes, considerable. But for the discussion of these and their remedies we must refer the reader to the book itself, MANCHESTER UNITY OF ODD FELLOWS.—NO sooner has the excitement attending the Handel Festival subsided, than the English Friendly Societies enter the Crystal Palace to carry out their Annual Fetes and Galas. On the Ist of this month the Foresters mustered in large numbers from the Midland Counties. The next and great greatest Friendly Society celebration will be that of the Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows, on Tuesday, sth Aug., and it is expected to be the most successful this society has yet had in consequence of the present year being the first jubilee since the establishment of the society,which took place in 1812. The order has worked successfully in spite of enor mous ifficulties, and now stands pre-eminent over any other body in the world, having nearly 350,000 members and com mensurate funds to provide for the benefits assured. Bat to provide for widows and orphans, and relief to distress mem bers, it is usual to arrange special excursions and entertain ' ments, the profits of whic h are applied for these worthy objects. On this occasion the duty devolves up3n a metro politan committee, who not only invite visitors t o t h e standard amusements at the Palace, but have specially engaged M.

THE BRITISH LION AND THE FRENCH EAGLE.— The unity that now exists between England and France could not be better ex emplified than by an incident which took place in th e T ower on Sunday last. During the day , scores of our Gallic friends paraded the garrison, all in the different uniform s of their respective regiments, and their breasts glittering with medals. Amongst them were several sergeants of the Zouaves, escorted by a number of the Im perial Guards of equal rank. All the visitors wore the Legion of Honour. Having noticed the warder on duty at the entrance gate, who had lost his a rm at the battle of Aliwal, being then sergeant-major in the 10th Lancers, and whose breast was also decorated, they formed a circle round him, and by the aid of an interprater found out where he had lost his limb. The British sailor, with that feeling o f good fellowship which always stamps his conduct, whether at home or abroad, invited them to his quarters, where he regaled them with a bottle of their own country beverage nac. It was highly ple as i ng t o see h ow namely, the best C o g on leaving the these gallant Fre nchmen, garrison, bade fare well to the veteran warders, all giving their names, regi ments, and the barracks they occupy in Paris, and finishing with venez, nous voir a Paris, vous sexes bier recu a notre caserne.—United Service Gazette. 7," HE MURDER. —An official commuta tion of the sentence of death passed upon James Lawrence for the murder of a young woman named Cox, at Hend on, has been received, at Newgate. The document directs t hat the prisoner is to be transported beyond the seas for the torn of his natural life. THE VOLUNTEERS. The Volunteer field day at Ascot is fixed for Sa turday, the 2d of August next. The forces on the occasion will he commanded by Lieut.-Gen. Sir John Pennefuther, K.C.8., commanding the troops at Aldetshott, who, it is expected, will a ss ociate with the Volunteers a force of regulars, consisting of artillery, cavalry, and infantry : . The district chosen for the military movements is that in the immediate neighbourhoad of the Grand Stand at Ascot. The field-day will commence as near 5 p. m . as possible, and trains will leave the Waterloo -station for Ascot at 3 p.m., 3 15, 3 30, 3 45, 4. Commanding officers of corps proposing to take part in the field -day are requested to signify their intention to Lieut.-Col. Robert Loyd Lindsay, commanding the Berks Ad ministrative Battalion of Rifle Volunteers, Abbey , - gateway, Reading. The annual official inspection of the Ist Middle sex Artillery Volunteer Corps by Col. Smith, C. 8., Royal Artillery, took place on Saturday evening, on the p arade-ground of the Wellington Barracks St. James's, where also the 18-pounder field guns which attracted such attention at the Wimbledon review had been placed. Previously to the arrival of the inspecting officers 16 powerful horses from Messrs. Pickford and Co.'s., carriers, were attached to the guns by the drivers. The latter are com posed of Messrs. Pickford's head men, and have been appropriately accoutred at the expense of the corps. Colonel Smith arrived on the ground shortly before seven o'clock, and was received with the usual salute, the corps presenting armHseanirndnithee_ band playing the National Anthe m . diately proceeded to examine the arms and accoutre.. ments of the members, and was accompanied by Major Creed, the Commandant (late of Her Ma jesty's Indian Artillery), and Captain and Adjutant Adams. The marching past was steadily performed to the music of the band, though more attention should have been paid to the markers. At the ter mination of the manual and platoon exercises, four detachments took their assigned positions at the guns, and the most interesting part of the inspec tion commenced. Captain Adams put the gunners through various manoeuvres, such as detaching the guns from the ammunition waggons, limbering, elevating and firing them. This was not an easy task considering their heavy calibre. The move ments were brought to a close about half-past 7 o'clock, when a hollow square having been formed Colonel Smith briefly addressed the corps, compli menting them on the dexterous manner in which they handled their guns, and the high state of efficiency to which they had attained. The inspec tion terminated with three cheers for the inspecting officer. A contest for the Harrow Challenge Cup, between ten men of the Victoria and ten of the Admiralty Company (Civil Service) Rifles took place at Har row on Saturday, and resulted in a victory for the Victorias by 17 points. The ranges were 300, 500, and 600 yards. The Victoria Rifles scored 135 points, but a bull's eye at 300 and an outer at score 500 yards being disallowed reduced it to 131. The highest score (17 points) was made by Sergeant Pixley, the winner of the Queen's prize at Wim bledon. An assault of arms and a variety of field sports took place at the head-quarters of the Hon. Artil lery Company, City-road, on Saturday, in which the members of the Athletic Sports Club and their instructors took part. Tents with amusements and refreshments were pitched upon the ground, and the course for the foot races were parted off from the rest of the enclosure by cords. The whole affair was rendered gay and attractive by the number of flags which were displayed. About half-past one o'clock the foot racing commenced. The most interesting race was the last on the list, being a walking race (heavy marching order) of one mile. Five entered the lists, Messrs. Ainslie (151 b. extra) Finlason, Jackson, Lovejoy, and Hodgson. After the start was made Ainslie and Finlason got ahead of the rest, and kept together to the close. Finla son came in first, though only slightly ahead of Ainslie, the time occupied being 11 min. 45 secs. The assault of arms was then commenced with fencing, in which Messrs. Jay, Ellis, Dollroan, Pascoe, and Fontaine took part, the first four being mounted, and exhibiting their skill with sticks and sabres, and the latter engaging one of the troopers with the bayonet. Riding at the ring followed, in which Mr. Jay showed much skill in parrying and thrusting. The gun dismounting, from its practical usefulness, was certainly the most interesting per formance during the day. A gun and limber were dismounted, remounted, and fired three times, under the direction of Lieut. Dawes, in the short space of 2 min. 24 secs. The official inspection of the 29th North 'Middle sex Rifles, under command of Lieut.-Colonel 'White head (late of the Victorias), by Colonel Morris, Government Inspector of Volunteers, is appointed to take place on Wednesday evening next in the Regent's Park at 7 o'clock. The South Middlesex Rifles, under command of Lord Ranelagb, and the Ist Surrey Light Horse, under Captain Meller, have vclunteered to keep the ground on the occasion. The annual prize competition of the Essex County Rifle Association commences to-morrow at South end, when prizes exceeding the collective value of £3OO will be competed for. The proceedings will altogether extend over three days, and will close with a dinner, at which Mr. T. W. Bramston, M.P., will preside. The prizes will be distributed on Fri day by Mr. Bramston in front of the Council tent. On Thursday an all-comers' prize will be competed for. Several movements of interest took place among the various corps of Essex in the course of last week. The sth and 6 t h com p anies of " the Beacontree" were entertained by Captain S. L. Howard, and Captain C. R. Pelly, in Plashet-park, while the 0 ngar corps enjoyed the hospitality of Private Sir C. C. Smith, of Suttons. A shooting match also took place at Wyvenhoe between sides of 10 each, selected from the Colchester corps and the Harwich battery of artillery ; the latter use a car bines. The ranges were 200, 400, an d 6 00 yards, five shots each ; and the scores made were—Col chester, 247 ; Harwich, 192. A an candelabrum shot for by the Tendring Hund re d co Sergeant Rout, who made 25 points rps ta s r won es ofy 200, 400, and 600 ya r d s, five ots each. gb shots The Lincolnshi re County Rifle Association Will hold its annual competion at Lincoln on _Monday and Tuesday, August 4 and 5. The value of the' prizes to be sh o t for amounts altogether to about £lOO. The three batteries comprised in the Ist Lincolnshir e Artillery Brigade assembled at Grimsy in the course of last week for the purpose of com peting for three prizes presented by the Dowager Countess of Yarborough. Some very fair practice was made, and the arc: - prize silver cup of the value of 30 guineas—was a warded to Corporal Lid dell, of th e B os t on battery; the second priz e , a fi e ld glass, to gunner Chapman, of the Grimsby b a tt er y ; and the third prize, a silver medal, to a member of the Louth battery. A review also took place at Louth last week, at which about 800 Volunteers were collected from Boston, Grimsby, Barton, spilsby, Horncastle, and Louth. The wh ole Alford, were placed under the command of Major Amcotts, of the Lindsey battalion. The troops dined at Eikiegton, the Rev. W. Smyth having thrown open hi s g rounds on the occasion. Major Hutton has just assumed the command of the Lincolnshire Ar tillery brigade. The 3d Hants Artillery Volunteers (Portsmouth Dockyard corps), under the command of Major A. Sturdee, underwent their a nnual inspection at Ports mouth on Saturday. Colonel Longden, R.A., was the inspecting officer. The usual marching past took place before the inspecting officer, after which the men went to two 24-pounder guns at the north end of the yard, and practice was made at fioatir g targets. Carbine practice was carried out at the ' same time, and the results in both cases were very ' satisfactory. The Ist Hants Artillery will receive their annual inspection at Bittern to-day, and the 2d Hants at Southsea, on the 4th proximo.
