MUNICIPAL STAKES. Klarikoff Vaga 2 DEATII OF THE RIOT T 710.2VOURABLE JAMES WILSON. We regret to learn froln a source upon the accu racy of which we have every reason to rely, that a telegram was received at the India-office yesterday, announcing the death of the iti , ;ht Hon. James Wilson. The event is said to have occurred at Calcutta on the 11th of August. The disorder is believed to have been cholera. The funeral took place on the following day. (From the Daily _Yews.) Another heavy blow and great - discouragemen, hos fallen upon the hopes of reformed administra tion in India. Death has struck down suddenly and unexpectedly the man who, but a few short months ago, was specially selected by the Home Government as the ablest and most trustworthy in strument at its disposal for the redemption of In dian finance from the ruinous state into which it had fallen, and already, ere he had time to see the first results of the bold experimental policy he had instituted, he is summoned from the scene of his arduous labours without time to think who shall enter into them. James Wilson is no more. Within a month from the death of Sir Henry Ward of cholera, this second distinguished administrator has perished in its merciless grasp. The telegram re ceived yesterday afternoon at the India House con tains only the brief announcement of the event, which occurred on the 11th ult., and of the fact that the funeral, as is customary in the region of the tropics, took place on the following day. The Exe cutive at Calcutta is thus deprived of its most vigo rous and versatile member, while the Executive at Madras is mourning its energetic and experienced chief. Losses like these may, and we trust will, in due time be repaired, but not easily or speedily. Faith in the fertility of free institutions to furnish a succes • sion of competent and courageous men to fill every post, civil or military, which the rule of an empire needs, forbids our doubting that the places now lamentably vacated, may be filled up worthily from the ranks of that class of self-made men to whom Ward and Wilson belonged. But we know too well the influences that commonly sway the dispQnsa- tion of patronage to feel too confident that the next best men will be forthwith placed in the room of those ,shooo premature loss we deplore. Mr. Wilson, as most of our readers are doubtless aware, was the architect of his own political for ture. In trade, to which he devoted the earlier years of his life, he was not successful ; and when he began to turn his attention to statistical writing for the daily and weekly press, he was almost unknown to politicians so called. From the com mencement of the great controversy regarding the abolition of protection to corn, sugar, and shipping, he took an active part, but rather with his pen than as a speaker. Nature had not, indeed, con ferred upon him any of the gifts that render a man pleasing or impressive as an orator. Though al ways full of information, and capable of presenting in lucid order a vast array of arithmetical facts, he never was able to overcome a formality of expres sion and a monotony of tone which rendered his best efforts better to read than to hear. While, therefore, a useful ally to the Anti-corn Law League, he rarely took any prominent part in their public demonstrations. His principal share in the free trade struggle was that borne in the pages of the Economist, a journal established by him with the aid of certain influential persons in the Whig party. Through the same influence he was enabled to enter Parliament in 1847. His first speeches were listened to with more of curiosity than appro bation, for he Was too rigid a financial doctrinaire to find favour with the Tory Opposition, still smart ing under their recent overthrow, and angry at the defection of their great leader and his staff; and there was nothing about the new member for West bury to propitiate the humour of the pots curante and fastidious section that traditionally supported a Whig Ministry. A short time, however, elapsed before he contrived to show his aptitude for the details of business ; and he was appointed by Lord John Russell to one of the joint-secretaryships of the Board of Control. Little was said or thought in Parliament about India in those days. Lord Dal housie had been nominated Governor-General to please his relative and patron the Duke of Welling ton; and had the errors and excesses of his policy displayed themselves earlier than they actually did, they would not have been severelycriticised by either of the great parties in the Legislature. Mr. Wilson's time was consequently applied almost exclusively to the preparation and defence of the financial measures of the administration, more especially those relating to the reform of our colonial tariff. In the protracted discussions that arose upon the sugar duties, and in those respecting the remission of our ancient differential charges on foreign and colonial produce generally, the prourietor of the Economist became better known as a useful and ready parliamentary speaker. At the general elec tion of 1852 he was re-elected for Westbury ; and on the formation of the Coalition Ministry under Lord Aberdeen, he,was made one of the Secretaries of the Treasury, a post be continued to fill under Lord Palmerston until 1858. On the noble viscount's resumption of office in 1859, he was ap pointed Vice-President of the Board of Trade ; but was soon afterwards promoted to the post of Finance Minister of the Supreme Council of India; in the discharge of the laborious duties of which he has now sunk into an untimely grave. Of his fiscal and financial policy in the East we have so frequently and so fully spoken that it is unnecessary to recapitulate its leading features here. His mission was, as speedily as possible to make the current revenue balance the annual ex penditure. The obstacles he had to encounter, owing to the effects of the recent military revolt, were confessedly great; but those engendered by long-established habits of loose and lavish expen diture of public money were undoubtedly far greater. The whole of the demoralised Anglo-Indian bureau cracy were instinctively opposed to him from the first. So were likewise the powerful native monied class, whose profits as imperial pawnbrokers were endangered by the threatened introduction of a sounder and healthier system. To these must be added the frustration offered publicly to the deve lopment of his somewhat venturous schemes of change by men like Lord Elphinstone and Sir Charles Trevelyan. So far he seemed to have maintained himself steadfastly and successfully against all hindrances and thwartings. But who shall say what effect his unlooked for death, fol lowing hard on that of Sir Henry Ward, may have on the eventual triumph of the principles and ideas of which he was the promulgator ?

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-(TIIIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Payne.) Elizabeth Goodyew was indicted for stealing a carpel bag from Ann Maria Goodyew, Settingbourne, Kent, at the Eastern Counties Railway station, containing four female dresses, jacket, collar, a pair of boots, and some linen, valued about £7. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and was sentenced to two years' imprisonment with hard labour. Helen Wave was indicted for stealing a silver mounted dressing case from Mr. Thomas Chapman, cabinetmaker, 2.4 7 .nuw aru-street, luaryieuune, on me utu value £35. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and Mr. Payne sentenced the prisoner to twelve calendar months imprisonment in the House of Correction with hard labour. John Burnet was indicted for stealing a purse containing 2s. from Ann Evans, Tottenham-court-road, on the 20th August last. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment in the House of Correction with hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAL) BOW-STREET. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—Mary Ann Jones was this morn ing placed at the bar, in accordance with remand, charged with attempting to commit suicide. From the evidence of a witness named Long, it appeared that the woman had resided with him as his wife for the last 18 years, and a more industrious or good-tempered woman could not be found, but when she was laid hold of by her drunken companions she became perfectly insane from the effects of the drink she received. In one of thee• drunken orgies she made a most desperate attempt at self destruction. At first she appeared to have intended to effect her object by strangulation, from the fact that a pieoo of cord was found fastened tightly round her neck, but this not proving successful she cut her throat with a razor, and then inflicted a deep cut across the upper part of her arm. When she was discovered medical aid was pro cured, and she had been an inmate of an hospital since the 26th of August. The magistrate said ho found by the surgeon's certificate that she was still in a very precarious state, and as he had doubts of her being of perfectly sane mind, he should re mand her until she had undergone an examination by the medical officers of the Strand Union. The unfortunate woman was accordingly again remanded or that purpose. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ANOTHER ASSAULT ON THE WITNESS FOR GIVING Ev DB CE.—William M'lntosh, a young man, described as a painter, was charged, before Mr. Beadon, with as saulting a female, named Brown, living in Gart-street, Soho, and working at Messrs. Crosse and Blackwell's, Soho-square. A woman named Myers, it may be remembered, was fined 20s. or 14 days, for an assault on the complainant, the only provocation appearing to be that she had given evidence at this court connected with a watch robbery. The complainant now said that on the previous night as she was passing along the street, the prisoner, who was with six or seven others, called her a "lagging cow," and then deliberately picked up a stone and threw it at her, striking her a severe blow on the leg. Sergeant Smith said as he was taking the prisoner into custody and to the station stones were thrown at him and the complainant. Mr. Beadon said it was very serious, and asked whether anybody else saw the assault, and being informed that a little girl had witnessed it, he ordered her to be sent for. The little girl attended and proved the assault. Sergeant Smith said the girl was threatened outside the court. Sergeant Cole said he had several times lately heard the female Brown threatened. Mr. Beadon fined the prisoner 40s. or a month, and said if he found the complainant was continually tormented he would put on the heaviest fine, and if any person put a finger on either the complainant or the little girl he would commit them with hard labour for six months. As the 'witnesses were leaving the court they were fol [owed and shouted at by a large crowd. APPLICATION TO ESTRBA.T BAIL FOR ONE OF HEENAN'S SECRETARIES —Sergeant Silverton, of the C Division, applied to Mr. Beadon to estreat the bail put in by Mr, Morris, proprietor of the New York Hotel, Leicester street, Leicester-square, on behalf of George Robinson, who was described as of the Round Table, St. Martin's-court, and who was stated at the time to be acting as one of Heenan's secretaries. The Sergeant said that Robinson was charged on the night of the 3d July with threatening to stab a civilian, with being drunk, and also with tearing the uniform coat of a constable named Smith, 72 C. He took Mr. Morris's bail for Robinson's appearance at the court the next morn ing, but insfead of his appearing he the same morning started for America with Heenan._ He believed Mr. Morris had been induced by Heenan, who was then staying at his hotel, to be bail for the man, and that ho was not going to leave England. Mr. Beadon said Mr. Morris had no business to bail a man he knew nothing about. It was for the Commis sioners of Police to decide whether the bail should be estreated, and if so it would have to be done in the Court of Exchequer. TIIIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. To-day's market was again scantily supplied with home grown wheat, chiefly of the new crop, and in very middling condition. The demand for both red and white qualities was much restricted, at Monday's decline in the quotations. The value of the new wheats ranged from 44s to 60s por quarter. There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on offer. All kinds were a dull inquiry. In prices, however, no change took place. Floating cargoes of grain were a dull inquiry. Barley was in moderate request, at previous currencies. There was very little business doing in malt, at barely stationary prices. We have to repn,t a dull inquiry for oats, and inferior samples were somewhat lower to purchase. Beans and peas moved off slowly, on former terms. The flour trade was heavy, at Monday's fall in value. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Who it. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

FREE LIBRARY MOVEMENT.—Another, and a seventh, free library is forming in the west, the site is near the Ballot Box Inn, in the lovely little village of Horsing ton Hill, near Harrow. This library being one of the " London and Cannonville" Free Library party, will ex change books with the same; so that already it is in pos session of a store of knowledge. Why do not friends of free libraries in other quarters unite, and thus exteLd the blessing of free knowledge to our lovely but neglected vil la ges Gen.

SWIMMING RACES IN THE SERPENTINE.—Yes terday some very excellent swimming took place on the Serpentine, for prizes subscribed for by a committee of gentlemen swimmers who frequent the above bathing place. The prizes were a handsome Leander silver medal for first man, and a smaller one for second ; distance, four times across the Serpentine, 660 yards. Six competitors entered, and after a splendid struggle they came in as follows—Mr. Humphries (time, 12m. 12s) first by three yards, Mr. Evans second, Mr. Watson third, Master Clark (under 16) fourth, Mr. Hall fifth, and Mr. Potts sixth. After which Mr. Stevenson, winner of the cham pion prize last year, displayed his skill in the water, swimming fifty yards under water. The prizes were presented by Mr. Beckwith, swimming-master of the Lambeth baths, who last year commenced giving prizes away on the Serpentine.

The following statement was published by Le Nord in a very prominent manner in its paper of Tuesday : We have been for several days in possession of an important communication, which we have hesi tated until now to insert, notwithstanding the con fidence we have in the cerrespondent by whom it is transmitted to us. We give it to-day, after having received from him a confirmation of its cor rectness. It appears, moreover, to us to be enough in keeping with the present situation of affairs. It relates to an arrangement under three heads, which has quite recently taken place between Eng land, Austria, and Prussia, and which has for its object to prevent any ulterior intervention of France, by arms, whether in Italy or elsewhere. The three points referred to are these :—The three Powers would engage -Ist. To oppose any military intervention of France in Italy under whatsoever pretext. 2d. To oppose any other military intervention of France in Europe without a previous understanding with the Powers. 3d. To oppose any territorial extension of France, whether by means of conquest or of bargain. If we publish to-day these particulars, which have been in our possession for several days past, it is because we have ground for believing that we are not alone in our knowledge of them, and that the principal Cabinets of Europe are already acquainted with them. In another editorial article Le Nord proceeds to say : We will not dwell upon the above statements; not indeed that we have the least doubt of their authenticity, but because we do not think it would be opportune for us to aggravate, by exposing their eventual bearing, the impressions they are calcu lated to produce. --- THE NEW GAS METROPOLIS ACT. —Among the last acts of the sess'on was one for better regulating the supply of gas to the metropolis. The obje ct of this statute, which contains 57 sections, is, as far as possibl e, to confine the supply of each company to a separate district, in order 1 to economise capital and avoid the t oo frequent opening of the public streets, and as the regulations to which the companies mentioned are subject are not uniform, provi sion is made for the duo regulation of all companies and persons supplying gas within the metropolis. On a com plaint of the Metropolitan Board of Works, or t o h f e a m v a e t s t t e r r y s or district board, as to the quantity or quality of gas sup plied by a company, the Secretary of State may person as inspector to inquire and report thereon. In case of differences between occupiers and compcmies, are to be settled by magistrates. "Every gas co ls m lnt p iom a t n et y os shall, unless preven ted by necessary repairs or unavoidabl e accident, at all times kee p all their branch or service pipes turn ed fully charged with g as, and the stopcock so prevent the branc h or service pipes from bein g at all filled with gas."

Guide through North Wales. _By William Catbrall. E. Stanford. Mr. Cathrall is thoroughly conversant with the topography and scenery of North Wales. He some time back published his wanderings in that coun try. He has now arranged his experiences in a more useful form to be serviceable to the tourist. The work is so arranged as to enable the traveller to survey the whole of the country, and visit the most interesting spots in the most expeditious and convenient manner, both by coach and rail. The counties described consist of Anglesea, C , ernarvon, Denbigh, Merioneth, Flint, an d Montgomery, en tering minutely into the geological statistics and general characteristics of the different counties. On account of the amount of information contained this little work is rather voluminous, but will prove of great service to those who visit this romantic country. SHOUKING WIFE MURDER, BY AN OLD 314117 AT STOCKPORT. Yesterday, the adjourned inquest on the body of Mary Ann Howard, aged 56, wife of a handloom weaver living in Weaver's-row, Lord-street, Stock port, was resumed by Mr. W. Johnson, coroner of the north-eastern division of Cheshire, at the Grove Inn, Stockport. A brief account of the brutal murder has already been published ; but the state ment that John Howard, the husband of the de ceased, had been in custody, is incorrect. He was present at the inquest yesterday, and at the close of the inquiry was, of course, taken in charge by the proper officers. Howard is in his seventy seventh year, about middle height, and, although pale and emaciated, his intellectual faculties are unimpaired. His deposition, taken on the pre vious occasion, was first read over by the Coroner. The following are the material portions : The deceased began to drink ou Saturday last (September Ist), and continued to do so until her death. She came home on Tuesday night last quite drunk. She began to break the windows, and I sent for my son Peter, who works at Mr. Bradley's mill, and he came. I then went to bed ; the deceased did not come to bed that night to my know ledge. I got up about six o'clock next morning, and went to my loom in the front room down stairs. Hearing a noise shortly after I went to the front and back doors, but did not see anything. Afterwards I went upstairs, and saw the deceased lying on the top of the bed. She was bleeding, but I did not go near her. I went out, locking the door and taking the key, and told some neighbours what I had seen, and then went for my son Peter. I had not seen the deceased that morning until I saw her bleeding on the bed. I had been sleeping in the same room, and she might have been lying on the bed, but I did not see her. I cannot put my coat on myself, and that morning I got a girl in the street to help me on with it. Ann Robinson, a labourer's wife, residing in Lord-street, St oc k por t, said—The fore part of the deceased's body was off the bed, and her hands towards but not touching the floor. There was a pool of blood upon the floor, and the knife produced was lying near the right hand, as though it had dropped from it. As I was leaving the room I met the old man on the stairs. I looked him in the face, and said, " Where are you going ?" He hesitated ; and I added, " Have you seen her ?" Turning round, I saw Olive Bower and Samuel Harrison behind me, and I then said, " Go down stairs and wash yourself." He said, " What for; have I something on me I' I said, " Yes ;" and he replied, " She smacked me on the face last night with her bloody hands, after she broke the win dows." I saw blood upon his face : it seemed as . _ if sprinkled. He immediately went down stairs as quickly as he could, and washed his hands in the back kitchen. The deceased was of very in temperate habits, and had been a great trouble to her family. Her husband has frequently told me pitiful tales of her conduct. He says he never took drink for the last eight years. I never saw him intoxicated. After the old man's clothes had been examined by the police at this inn, he came to me and said, " If it had not been for you telling me to wash me, I should have catched it." I took hold of him by the hand and said, " Hush." Olive Bowyer, widow, Ridgway•lane, Stockport, stated—l heard Mrs. Robinson tell the old man to go back, and we followed him. He stood by the slopstone, and I said, " For heaven's sake, man, get yourself washed." His hands were coloured a very little ; and he washed the back of his left hand, which had a little blood on it, with the other. The whole of his face was dotted with blood, as though sprinkled from a pepper box. Priscilla Howard, daughter of the deceased, and apparently about 17 years of age, said—On Tues day night the deceased came home drunk, and very quarrelsome. She turned me out of the front door and locked it, and I sat on the door-step until three o'clock the text morning. I then went in, and found the deceased lying across the table in the front room asleep. I awoke her, and she went up stairs, and laid on the bed beside my father. She awoke me about half-past . five and gave me my break fast, which she had got ready, to take with me. I went to my work a few minutes before six o'clock. The night before the deceased hit my father upon the face with her bleeding hand, after she had broken the windows. My father washed his face a few minutes afterwards. I cannot say whether there was any blood on his face when I went out in the morning. I left the deceased and my father alone. I heard no quarrel or conversa tion between them before I left. The axe produced belonged to my father, and was generally kept in the coal place. John Howard, who left the room after his depo sition had been read over, was then recalled, and the evidence of the several witnesses read to him by the coroner. He frequently exclaimed, " Yes, that's right," and after the evidence of Mr. Massey, he said, " I cannot account for it ; I do not wish to ask any questions." He afterwards added, " I cannot use the axe, but it must be something similar. They know I am very dull at hearing, and there's enemies on the other side are cruel. They can come in and out, but I can'neither see nor hear them. She has said numbers of times she would cut her own throat. This is all I have to say." The Coroner carefully summed up, and, after a few minutes' deliberation, the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against Howard, who was committed under the Coroner's warrant to take his trial on the charge. A MODEST REQU EST.—THE DOPE WALKER AND THE PRINCE.—We read the following, quoted in the Nord of Brussels, from the New York Evening Post :—" If it be not a duck of the genuine type, it reveals a degree of cool assurance not hitherto surpassed. Blondin, the acrobat, or funambulist, who has gained celebrity by his feats at Niagara Falls, has had the impertinence to write to the Duke of Newcastle, asking to be allowed to arrange for the Prince of Wales quite a novel mode of entrance into the United States,—namely, that he, Blondin, should be per mitted to carry the Prince on his shoulders from the Cana dian to the States side of the cataracts, on a tight rope I" In the Bankruptcy Court yesterday Mr. Benja min Gibbs, leather merchant, of Bermondsey, applied for his certificate. This is the first application of the kind in connection with the recent failures in the leather trade. , The official assignee reports that the bankrupt commence: business in the year 1856, with very little capital. t the stated t e stated on behalf of the General Discount Company anld Mercantile Discount Company, who are creditors, that asttrha. the bankrupt has been pnt forward as the puppe t of ni l Hooper and Parkinson, a view in which Mr. Commissioner Goulburn concurred.

ACCIDENT ON THE CORNWALL RAILWAY.—On Saturday afternoon, when the 12 45 down train was ap proaching Truro stati on, t h e feed plug of the engine came out and caused a stream of water to run up on the rails. This happened at th e spot where the breaks are generally applied to check the speed of the trains, that they may be altogether stopped at the eastern end of the station, to ad mit of the examination of tickets. The result was that the breaks of the engine and carriages would not hold the wheels as usual, and the train over-ran the ticket platform, cau%ing the engine to come in contact with the trucks which were standing at the station. Three or four passen • gers were bruised, and two received slight cuts on their faces, though not of sufficient importance to prevent them from continuing their journey from Truro by the West Cornwall Railway. CAPTURE OF A CRIMINAL. Mr. Erskine, the English charge d'affaires at St. Petersburg, having given information to the police that a French subject, named Jules Varner after having stolen a considerable sum of money in London, had fled to the Russian capital, search was made for him, and he was discovered, living under the assumed name of Leon Dugue du Rochet. An agent of the secret police of London having arrived at St. Peters burg, the Frenchman was arrested, and on the application f the English legation and of the French consul, delivered over, with his wife and two children, to the agent to be taken to London. The prisoner was on examination found to be a deserter from the French army, for whom the Go vernment bad been on the look out. Mr. Erskine has since communicated to the police authorities of St. Peters burg the satisfaction felt by his Government at the proro c p : titude which tie AUR4iala L41:1 PUOVII CC a 00111 ••••• - • - ••••■1 THE VOL UN-TEI:IZ MOVEMENT. No more satisfactory proof could be supplied of the genuine and wide-spread interest which is felt in the volunteer movement than the records which it has been our duty lately to furnish of the presenta tion to a vast number of local corps of silver bugles, which seem to eepress ' in their case, the seine feel ings of admiration and appreciation as the endow ing of a regular regiment with a new stand of colours. To-day we add ancther to the list. A large assembly assisted yesterday in the grounds of Lawn house, Holloway-road, the residence of Mr. Hale, at the presentation to the Islington Corps of Volunteer Riflemen, officially known as the " 7th Middlesex," of a silver bugle, which had been sub scribed for by the ladies of the district. The corps marched on the ground about half-past four, pre ceded by the band of the Royal Middlesex, and were drawn up in line in front of a dais, on which the handsome gift had been for some time a conspi cuous object of admiration. After a general salute Mrs. Hale, the lady of the host, as the mouthpiece of the l a di es of Islington, in graceful and well chosen language presented the bugle, whi c h was received by Catain Ebs worth, and acknowledged by him with appropriate warmth. After promising, on behalf of himself and his men, that whenever its notes were sounded on a field of battle it should lead them to death or victory, the gallant , diverged into some str ong observe e rs o n thQ captaincon duct of the Lord-Lieutenant, the Marquis of Salis bury, who, through some spiter.a gainst the officers of the corps had, as he alleged, opp ose d i ts further extension in force. A feu de joie, di scharged with admirable steadiness and regularity, concluded the ceremony. ts, o r bugle Ne w bys the Ea r l o f SR in don Rifl e 'Shelburnehe pr e presentation t t a h t e i o rl o t h f a ly silver Volunteer Corps, took place yesterday in th e spacious cricket-field adjoining the Great Western Railway at Swindon. His lordship also presented the corps with a set of drums, and advantage was taken of the occasion for the presentation of a set of colours to the corps by Mrs. Gooch, wife of Cap tain Gooch, of the 11th Wilts Rifle Volunteer Corps. The proceedings commenced at two o'clock with the presentation of the colours by Mrs. Gooch, which Captain Gooch accepted, and re turned thanks on behalf of his men. The Earl of Shelburne, in presenting the silver bugle and set of drums to the corps, said he felt doubly proud of the day's proceedings, first because he was a resident in the county, and secondly from his connexion with the Great Western Railway, to which most, if not all, of the men belonged. (Hear, hear.) Ir respective of their connexion with that establish ment, and their efficiency as a body, he had come among them that day to testify by his presence the deep and warm interest he felt in this move ment, as well as his desire to further and promote any rational pursuit the men of New Swindon might be disposed to adopt. (Cheers.) On this occasion they had taken up a pursuit that was not only one of great interest to themselves, but of a. noble character in itself—(cheers)—and one which it well became the great body of the people of this country to foster and promote by every pos sible means. (Cheers.) Peace was one of the greatest blessings a country could enjoy. Where it prevailed the arts, trade, and commerce flourished, and the people were generally contented and happy. (Hear, hear.) Bat while we acknow ledged its blessings and partook of its benefits, we must not forget the possibility of war, and the great necessity there was of our being ready as a nation at a moment's notice to defend all that was near and dear to us. .(Hear, :hear.) Past events had occasioned disquietude in the public mind, and the result had been the spontaneous enrol ment of Volunteers for the defence of our common country, which he had no doubt would prove a great auxiliary to our regular defences, thus showing that though we were consi dered a trading community we had not lost any of the heroism and determination of our forefathers. (Cheers.) The Volunteers were to be looked upon more as a defensive than as an offensive force. (Hear.) The wooden walls of old England he bad no doubt would again prove our strongest defence, as they had heretofore, but should it be necessary for them (the 11th Wilts Rifles) to use those for midable weapons which he saw before him, he felt certain the men of New Swindon would not be wanting with the other corps in courage to wield them. (Cheers.) In conclusion he wished health, happiness, and increased efficiency to the 11th Wilts Rifle Corps; (Cheers.) Captain Gooch having briefly thanked his Lordship for his presents, the men were put through their evolutions, which they performed with excellent precision, and shortly after left the ground headed by their band playing martial airs. Two companies of [Rifle Volunteers have been formed in the hundred of Castlemartin, one at Pem broke and the other at Pembroke Dock ; and al though a considerable time has now elapsed since their formation and election of officers no intimation of the acceptance of their services has been received, nor have the officers' names appeared in the Gazette. This delay is much to be deplored, as little doubt is entertained that as soon as the above companies are seen fairly under arms many others will follow. Pembroke Dock alone can furnish a complete corps, requiring but little drill to make them effective, owing to many of them having belonged to the late Dockyard Battalion. The officers elected are, for Pembroke, Captain E. S. Stanley, Lieut. Roch, and Ensign Adams ; for Pembroke Dock, Capt. E. Che vallier, Lieut. Mac Alpine, and Ensign Long. The past week has been signalized, among the Great Yarmouth Rifle Volunteers, by a series of prize-shooting matches. The first came off on Mon day for a prize of £lO, presented by the members for the borough, to be competed for at ranges of 400 yards and 500 yards. At the last range the con test lay between Ensign Brown and Mr. Fenner, the latter of whom having scored 6 to the former's 5 was declared the winner. On Tuesday the prize was a cup, value £5, presented by the officers of the corps, to be contested for at distances of 200 yards and 300 yards. Mr. Scott, who scored 15 points in all, was the winner ; the next being Mr. Davy, who made 14. The prize on Wednesday was a Turner rifle, presented by Major Orde, the dis tances 500 yards and 600 yards. The successful competitor was Mr. Leman, who made 9 points in all, the next being Mr. Pearson. But the grand prize of the week, for which every rifleman reserved his greatest efforts, was the ladies' challenge : 1 3 value £3O, presented by the ladies of Yam and three and its vicinity, the winner to hold h for the years against all challengers of the .corpls,t entitled to the distinction of champion s ho t and 900 year.
