Re will,if he Mills his obligations and is in the Reserve the requisite time, receive a pension of not less than £l2 a year wheneverhe becomes incapacitated from earning- a liveli hood, or at sixty years 'of age if not previously incapacitated. 3. lle may elect either to take the whole pension himself, or to take a smaller pension for himself during his life, and to allow his wife a pension after his death, for the remainder of her life. 4.

Outwards the Euxine encountered heavy south-westerly winds with much head sea as far as Vigo, and thence to Lisbon fine weather; homewards fine to Vigo, and thence a south-westerly gale and westerly winds. The Euxine has brought £4,505 in specie, pre cious stones value £5O, and a cargo comprising 2,289 chests and 28 boxes of oranges, 265 boxes of grapes, 200 bags of nuts, and 77 packages of general merchandise.

News from Lisbon by this packet. which is to the 27th ult., refers principally to the dissolution of the late Chamber of Deputies, already reported by tele giaph. Our correspondent writes : " The Ministers being fully aware they had little chance of getting through the session without being placed in a minority upon more than one question, though they had come to an understanding that railways should no longer be the field for party po litics, availed themselves of the first opportunity of settling the question of dissolution of the Deputies or the Cabinet. Under the circumstances this ap pears to have been the most advisable course for the interests of the country. A new electoral law had just passed the House of Peers establishing small electoral circles for one member, instead of the large circles which returned 2,3, or 4 deputies to the house now dissolved ; and this new law, being a tacit confession that a new election was necessary, it was further confirmed by the fact that neither thuresent or its predecessors, who were in power when feted, rould command a good working mapts....;:_tlfonee it wevid haVe been a great waste of time to reserve the dissolution for a later period. No opposition was made to the replies to the King's speech by deputies or peers, but upon the discussion of Salamanca's railway contract in committee a question was raised by the Opposition respecting the new revenue resources necessary to meet the subvention. The Ministers desired to delay all explanations until the budget should be brought forward, as had been the case last session ; and, re presenting the Opposition as factious, they succeeded in obtaining the King's decree of dissolution, after a protract e d di scussion by the Council of 'State. The new law will probably diminish Government influence in many electoral circles, and it is not yet possible to give a safe opinion as to the new house summoned to meet on 26th January ; though I think' it is likely to be better than the last, and may give a good working majority, which is absolutely necessary, unless Parliamentary legislation is to-be come a perfect nullity in this country."

DEATH OP TEE PRINCESS ANNA EAPLEHA, The family of Prince Czartoryski,The Polish emi gration, and, indeed, the whole of Poland, has suf fered a painful loss by the death of the Pincess Anna Sapieha, mother-in-law of Prince Adam Czartolyski. • This noble lady breathed her last in Paris on the 26th of November last, in the 86th year of her age. Enfeebled by age and illness, she par took the Holy Communion, and awaited with calm resignation the approach of death, seeming only to linger in this world a little longer that she might press once more the hand of her illustrious son-in= law, to whom she had during half a century looked up with a kind of religious reverence. Prince Czartoryski had been absent from Paris for some considerable time, but returned on the 25th, and on the ensuing day, at 4 o'clock in the morning, the Princess slept away without a sign of suffering. The deceased, who belonged to the most illustrious families of Poland, was born in 1772. Her father, Count Andrew Zamoyiski, Grand Chancellor of the Crown of Poland, enjoyed the reputation of being the most noble and upright character of the reign of Stanislas Augustus. After the violent seizure of the persons of the senators of Poland by the Rus sian troops iu 1767, he resigned the seals and with drew into private life,whence`he was, however, sub seqaently again called forth by the voice of his country, which intrusted to him the digest of a code of laws. The wife of the Chancellor, the mother o the deceased Princess Sapieha, was a daughter of Prince Joseph Czartoryski, of the Korzec branch. The great economy practised by this lady in all the details orherprivate life formed a striking contest to the luxury then universally pieVadent in Warsaw ; but when Kosciuszko raised aloft the standard of insurrection, this parsimonious but also truly patriotic woman opened her rich treasury, and silently poured its contents into the national exche quer, the people being then in arms against their oppressors. Sueh were the family traditions amid which Princess Anna Sapieha's character was formed. She inherited from her father true patriot ism and the virile virtue of the citizen, and from her mother the love of order and the art of making a noble use of her fortune. In 1794 the Princess married, at Zamosc, Prince Alexander Sapieha, who was born at Strasburg, where, driven by the misfortunes of Poland, his father had sought refuge. In consequence of the hope of the assistance of France having been held out to his country, Prince Sapieha entered the ser vice of Napoleon 1., but his life was terminated prematurely in 1812. Two children—the Princess Anna, afterwards married to Prince Adam Czar toryski, and Prince Leon Sapieha—were the issue of this marriage. At the death of her husband the Princess, though still comparatively young, and ac customed to lire in the great world of Paris and Warsaw, did not for a moment hesitate between the serious and sacred duties of a mother and the frivo lous pleasures of the world, but devoted hercelf ex . elusively to the education of her children and to the administration of her fortune, which had suffered considerably in consequence of the disasters which had befallen her country. The duties to which she devoted herself with unflagging constancy fortified her soul and endowed her with rare sagacity in the management of affairs, without in any way quenching that enthusiasm of the heart which ena bled her, when circumstances required it, to rise above the minute calculations of prudence. Dur ing the campaign in Prussia she was seen in Paris kneeling at the feet of Kosciusko, imploring him to join the army of Napoleon I. After the disasters of Poland in 1831 Princess Sapieha remained in the country, and by her'efforts 7HE GREAT EASTERN. During the past week some very exaggerated rumours have been in circulation respecting the great ship, which have produced something like a panic among the holders of the shares in the com pany. In order to afford complete information re specting the actual condition of the ship, and the financial position of the company, an extraordinary meeting of the shareholders will be called by the directors on the 15th inst. In the meantime those who are interested in the undertaking will be gra tified to hear that, in the opinien of the board, no sufficient cause exists for the late extraordinary depreNgion which has taken place in the value of the pr erty. Our readers will remember that some weeks since we stated that three , gentlemen of high standing in their profession, viz., Messrs. Hawkshaw, Fowler, and Maclean were employed in taking evidence and making the necessary ex amination, with the view of making an award upon all questions in dispute between the company and the contractors. The total amount at issue between these parties is comparatively small, and whatever deficiencies may be proved to exist on the part of the work performed by the contractors, will have to be made good by those who had undertaken the contract, and will not, so far as these deficienCies are concerned, involve any great outlay or expense on the part of the com pany. The three gentlemen above named made their report after the examination of the ship while lying at Holyhead, and when the directors had de cided upon sailing the vessel immediately for Ame rica. They stated that in the then condition of the ship it wouctr - rorte - isafe - to undertake •u-trans: lantic voyage, and that the directors would b; -e" guilty of manslaughter if any accident should occur' on the voyage. In deference to this opinion, the board rescinded the resolution previously taken and the ship was sent round to Southampton, encoun tering, before she arrived there, the terrible gale at Holyhead and the rough passage on the way 'to the port where she now lies. This voyage was performed at greater speed and with more success than upon any of the previous trips, and her performance is relied upon as showing that the ship in reality is not in so completely an unseaworthy state as has been supposed. In a more recent number a state ment was given of the alterations which would be required in order to adapt the ship more completely for the work for which she was constructed. No alterations of importance beyond those then speci fied have been required, either by the Board of Trade or by the surveyors appointed by the com pany, but to carry out these, some additional funds will be needed beyond the present capital, and which will be raised either by preference shares, or upon mortgage, to be explained at the meeting et the 15th. It is stated that an offer has been made by Mr. Lever for the purchase of the ship, of the most liberal character. The terms are said to be £O,OOO down to form a working capital to com plete the ship, to charter her for 12 months, pay the shareholders five per cent. in advance, and to have the option of purchasing the ship for £330,000, being the amount of the capital of the present company. If this offer is a bona fide one, it is dif ficult to understand how the ship can be in so wretched a condition as to warrant the present de preciation in the shares. The chairman of the board has stated that he will, at the meeting of the 15th, demand the appointment of a com mittee of shareholders for the purpose of institut ing a thorough investigation into the affairs of the company from its formation, and to throw some light on the circumstances which have tended so greatly to depress the property.—Observer. succeeded in saving some remnants of the colossal fortune of Prince es' artoryski ; and having joined his family in 1836, she brAght with her an accession to their pecuniary means, but never ceased to preach order and economy, without, how- ever, closing her heart against the wants of her countrymen or of her country. In Paris she be came, indeed, as it were, the cashier of all the charitable and useful institutions connected with the Polish emigration, and whenever a public or a private want was felt Princess Sapieha was sure to , be applied to. Despising luxury and pomp, loving all that was good and beautiful, always at work, always surrounded by accounts, by lists, and by peti tions, she knew how to refuse, and she delighted in granting, favours ; and she continues even beyond the tomb her public benefactions, having bequeathed a large sum to her children to be employed solely for public purposes. The serious and extensive studies to which she devoted herself during the whole of her life had greatly enriched her mind, and she conversed on all the subjects with ease and fluency, and surprised her auditors by the solidity of judgment which in her was combined with groat vivacity and imagination. Such - was the noble woman whom Poland has just lost. May the ladies of Poland, and more espe cially those belonging to her own class, learn to despise what she despised, and to love what she loved ! C. S. THE GREAT BELL OF WESTMINSTER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY NEWS. Sir,—Having this day heard Big Ben for the first time since it was reported that he had been mortally wounded, I beg to state that—cracked or not cracked—his voice is neither worse nor better than it was on and after the first day the clock struck upon him to indicate the hours. In other words, the bell merely emits the same imperfect sound as before, being remarkable for metallic harshness and continuity of tone. Now, although I think this bell was designed and cast too thick at the sound bow—hence the monster hammer required—even to produce a rich and mellow tone, even assuming no deep crack to exist, yet as the bell is suspended in a manner so objectionable that it has not fair play, the authorities may be advised to try the fol lowing experiment :—Release the bell from its pre sent unhappy position, of which it has never ceased to complain ' • then fix it to a block of wood called a stock, which must be freely suspended from a beam so as to be able to swing in some degree. If the alleged fracture ,be not dangerous Big Ben the Second will then give out such a sound as may agreeably surprise his audience. Permit me to add that when a large bell is cracked deeply at the sound bow it is idle to talk of applying the " drill a, hole and whip-saw remedy." This has been tried over and over again in the case of church bells, though not at present in that of Big Ben, and the result has uniformly been most unsatisfactory to a musical ear. —I am, — &c., December 3. THOMAS WALESBY. SUDDEN DEATH FROM INTEMPERANCE.—On Wednesday evening, a woman, the wife of a cattle drover, who had been in attendance at the cattle fair in Newcastle, was found lying dead in a passage at the Head of the Side. From information which has been given to the police, it ap pears that the deceased had been drinking for the last three months, having been scarcely sober during the whole of that time. On Wednesday afternoon she was in a public house at the Head of the Side, very intoxicated, dancing to the music of a violin. A short time afterwards she went out, and was never more seen alive. We understand she is a native of Carlisle.—Newcastle Cht snide. ATTORNEYS AND 13niErs.—A singular scene occurred at the West Riding intermediate Session, held at Bradford on Thursday. The friends of a man named John Burke, who was charged with biting off the ear of James Gelday, applied to Mr. Thomas Beaumont, accountant, to draw out a brief for Burk's defence at the sessions. Beau.. mont did so, at the haute time receiving, as it is stated, a for his trouble. At the trial he handed the brief over to a barrister, with the customary fee of a guinea, but during the examination it transpired that Beaumont was not an attor ney, and the chairman of the sessions instantly ordered him to 'be taken into custody. He will in all probability be tried at the present session for fraudulently tteting as an attorney. EMIGRATION FROM LIVERPOOL. The official returns of emigration from the Mersey far the month just concluded have been completed by the Government authorities, and when compared with those of the preceding mouth of October ex hibit a decline of nearly one-half, as well as a con siderable falling off when compared with those for the corresponding period of 1858. This decline is chiefly observable in the emig ration to the United States, that to Australian ports being pretty much as last month. The principal falling off appears to have taken place in Irish passengers, although both English, Scotch, and foreigners participate in the general decline. During the month 10 vessels sailed for the United States under the act, carrying 67 cabin and 1,482 steerage passengers, of whom 388 were English, 39 Scotch, 991 Irish, and 64 were foreigners, against, in October, 17 ships, eonveying 133 cabin and 3,670 steerage passengers, 907 of whom were English, 89 Scotch, 2,526 Irish, and 148 foreigners, being a falling off of '2,254. In the cor responding month of last year the number of cabin passengers was 80, and the steerage 1,825, com prising 575 English, 85 Scotch, 1,078 Irish, and 87 foreigners. The above is not inclusive of " short ships" not coming under the provisions of the Pas sengers Act of 1855, of which six sailed during the month with 132 steerage passengers. N3r does it em brace the passengers carried out by the Cunard or Canadian steamships to Portland, which conveyed 567 cabin passengers to the United States. To the Australian colonies the falling off is in by no means the same proportion as to the United States, the total decline being about 100 when compared with the month of October, but a decrease of about 500 when compared with the corresponding month of 1858. During the past month five vessels were despatched to Melbourne, Victoria, with 30 cabin and 993 steerage passengers-427 English, 189 Scotch, 344 Irish, and 33 foreigners, against in the previous month 50 cabin and 868 steerage passengers-390 English, 83 Scotch, 347 Irish, and 48 foreigners. In the corresponding period of 1858, 65 cabin and 1,604 steerage passengers sailed for Melbourne. In "short ships" 35 persons took their departure dur ing the month. To New South Wales one ship was despatched with 432 Government emigrants -219 English, 53 Scotch, and 160 Irish, against in October 445 steerage Government emigrants-171 English, 60 Scotch, and 214 Irish. To New Zealand the usual monthly liner sailed with 15 cabin and 227 steerage passengers-141 English, 28 Scotch, and 18 Irish, being an increase of above 100 over last month, when 2 cabin and 136 steerage passen gers sailed-91 English, 29 Scotch, 15 Irish, and 1 foreigner. To South America one " short ship" sailed with 4 passengers against 21 in Nov., 1858, and to the West Coast of Africa the mail steamer conveyed 30 cabin passengers under the Act ; the total emigration to all parts was 112 cabin, and 3,134 steerage, against 185 cabin, and 6,369 steerage in October, and against 146 cabin and 3,848 steerage in the corresponding period of 1858. Including " short ships" the aggregate number of passengers sailing from the Mersey amounted to 4,194 souls, against 7,149 in October, being a falling off of nearly 3,000. It should be added, however, that last month there was no emigration to either the Cape of Good Hope or the East Indies ; while in October 222 free emigrants were sent to the former colony, and 1,028 soldiers' wives were sent to the East Indies ; both of whom were included in the October return. If we deducti then, these numbers from the November returns it will reduce the decline to about 1,700 souls, THE PONTEFRACT ELECTION INOITIRT.—During the last few days evidence has been taken at the Town •hall, Pontefract, relative to the well-known dispute between Mr. Overend, Q.C., one of the sitting members for that borough, and Mr. Childers, the defeated candidate at the last elec tion. The witnesses have been examined by Mr. Cariss of Leeds, as the solicitor for Mr. Overend, and by Mr. fiee man, of York, as the solictor for Mr. Childers. The evi dence has since been laid before Sir J. Coleridge, who, it had been agreed, should act as arbitrator between the par ties, and he will no doubt give his decision in duo course. The inquiry was conducted in private, and the rumours whick have appeared in some journals as to the ultimate result of it are mere speculations. THE SUN, LONDON, MUNDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 5, 1859.

The Rodney, 91, and the Severn, 51, which have been converted from sailing ships to screw steamers at Chatham dockyard, are both approaching com pletion, and will shortly be ready to be undocked and made ready for sea. Each vessel is to be sup plied with machinery of 400 horse-power. The screw corvette Charybdis, 21, in harbour-at Chatham, is ordered to be docked on Thursday next, and brought forward for the steam reserve. The screw steam troop ship Vulcan, Commander A. Strode, with a detachment of the first batta lion of the 2d Foot, which sailed from Ports mouth on Friday for Dublin, the Cape of Good Hope, and China, came in contact, at three o'clock on Saturday morning, between Portland and Start Point, with the coal-laden brig Coquette, bound from Cardiff for London. The wind was easterly. The Vulcan carried away th e b o w s p r it of the brig, which in consequence lost her fore= mast, maintopmast,, bulwarks, &c. An officer and several men were sent immediately on board the Coquette to keep the pumps going, and she was towed by the Vulcan into Plymouth Sound, where they arrived at three o'clock on Saturday afternoon. The Vulcan is not much injured; she will embark at Dublin a detachment of the 10th Foot for the Cape of Good Hope. The paddle-wheel steam vessel Avon, G.

At a meeting of the provi sional committee held on Friday evening, the high constable in the chair, it was announced that the names of a sufficient number of volunteers had been received to form one company. It was also decided to invite Major G. M. Best, the Lord of the Manor of Chatham, to take the command of the corps. A number of volunteers attended for the first time on Friday evening, and commenced their drill at the York Tavern, the large room of which has been placed at the disposal of the corps by Mr. Breeze, • the proprietor. CUCKFIELD. A volunteer rifle corps has been formed here, and, although only a few weeks have elapsed since the question was first mooted in this part of Sussex, the corps already numbers 80 members, and new names are being daily added to the roll. Meetings in favour of the movement are taking place through out the whole district, and a second company will doubtless be speedily xaised. Captain Meek, late Royal Sussex. Light Infantry, has been appointed to command the corps, and the remaining officers will shortly be nominated. The funds of the corps are in a satisfactory state, between £3OO and £4OO having been already subscribed. DEVONSHIRE. Earl Fortescue, the Lord-Lieutenant of the county, has written to Mr. Thos. Dyke Acland, expressing general approbation of his plan for the formation of yeomanry rifle corps, and his belief that it will form a valuable adjunct to the various measures now happily in operation throughout the kingdom for the consolidation of our voluntary national defence. The noble Earl trusts that those measures will not be relaxed in consequence of assurances which might be - received f r o in gassy - foreign quarter, 'however friendly, until the spirit of the people at home, calmly and judiciously directed, should have made the security of our country independent of any feel ing that might be entertained towards us abroad. 11VANS'S HOTEL and MAGNIFICENT MUSIC and SUPPER ROO US.

Sir,—There are some circumstances in connexion with the accommodation for shipping already exist ing at Milford Haven which do not come within the scope of Mr. Page's very able report, adverted to in your leading article of this day. It is im portant, however, for the information of shipowners and others, that these facts should be pointed out. The South Wales Railway Company, after in cessant advocacy of the claims of Milford Haven, and after expending from four to five millions of money, have reached the shores of the Haven, and have incurred great outlay at their terminus (New Milford) in providing accessible piers, landing stages, quays, pontoons, cattle and goods sidings, and similar convenient accommodation. Ocean and other steamers of large tonnage can at any state of the tide discharge their cargoes alongside the floating pontoons and into railway trucks, whence by hydraulic power they are in two or three minutes lifted to the railway station. ♦ fleet of Ocean steamers is now performing a monthly service between New Milford, Portugal, and the Brazils, and avail themselves of this accom modation. As agent for Lloyd's I can also state that the African, another Ocean steamer, drawing 21 feet water, which met with a disaster in the Channelon her way , from Liverpool, and was obliged to take refuge in the " Mariners' Paradise," has been brought by me, in the discharge of my duty, along side the pontoons. She is there still, and unload ing upwards of 2,000 tons of cargo. Railway communication to Manchester at present exists by two independent routes, and the cargo of the African is now being sent to that and other places by railway direct. Daily communication has also existed for a con siderable time with Waterford, and on alternate days with Cork, and passengers by this route are aware of the great landing facilities afforded for them at New Milford. These, I believe, are un surpassed at any other poet in the kingdom. I have thought that you would like to be made acquainted with these facts, with which, as a resi dent here, I am familiar. Having had considerable nautical experience I have no hesitation in expressing my ready acquies cence in the general accuracy of Mr. Page's state ment of the extent, advantages, and importance of Milford Haven, and if a recognition of those views by the press should lead to the construction of other works both by the Government, and in con nexion with the commercial interest of the country, good service will have been done to the State.--I am, &c., THOMAS JACKSON. New Milford (Milford Haven) December 1. A CITY WANT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY NEWS. Sir,—On the 20th December last you drew the attention of the public to an improvement wanted from the Custom-house through Mincing-lane, across Fenchurch-street, up the court at 127, in that street, into Lime-street, thence through St. Mary axe into Houndsditch and Bishopsgate-street. This is very much wanted, and would he a very great benefit to the London merchants, as it is now most difficult to cross from Fenchurch-street into Lom bard-street, at the hours particularly when mer chants brokers, and others have to reach the Baltic Coffee-house and the Royal Exchange. If you will look to this part of the City you will see how much this improvement is wanted, and as property is now pulled down in the street and in Mincing-lane the present would be a fine chance of doing these im provements. This opening would be of the greatest use to persons pressed for time in attending the markets, and I can assure you it is most difficult now to reach the above and the Royal Exchange, owing to the almost impossibility of crossing Fen churc-street from Mincing-lane, where so much business i s d a il y t ransac t e d, an d w hi c h will increase from the now sp l en did b u ildi ngs now being erected for the lar ge Cit y fi rms. —l am , & c. , JAMES GREAVE S. Leadenhall-street, Nov. 26. LADIES' GLOVES.—The ladies of Vienna have just determined upon the abandonmeat of the use of gloves, which are no longer to be worn in private parties and at the opera, only on the first entrance into the box. The adoption of rings of real value, attached by a gold chain to the arm let, has given the idea of this change in fashion.—Court Journal. THE ARMY. Major-General J. Bloomfield, Inspector-General of Royal Artillery, attended by Brevet-Major C. C. Teesdale, C. 8., Aide-de-Camp, and accompanied by Col. H. Pester, commanding Royal Artillery in the western district, inspected the fortifications at Devonport on Saturday morning, had the guns manned, and put the soldiers through the manual exercise. Gen. Bloomfield called on Port-Admiral Sir B. Reynolds in the afternoon, and in the even ing made a preliminary visit to Plymouth Citadel, where he will exercise the Artillerymen to-day, Monday. A court-martial has been held at the camp at Colchester on private John Jones of the 44th Regi ment, charged—first, with stealing a pistol, the pro perty of his master, Major West ; secondly, with endeavouring to break open his master's cashbox; and, thirdly, with menacing his master by threat ening to shoot him. The prisoner was acquitted on the first charge, but convicted on the second and third, the Court sentencing him to 365 days' impri sonment.. The General Commanding-in-Chief has since remitted half the punishment awarded by the Court. A communication was on Saturday received by the authorities of Woolwich Arsenal frem Mr. Sidney Herbert, intimating the decision of the War Department to appoint a Lieut.-Colonel as Inspector of Artillery, whose duties will be confined to the proving and examination of the Armstrong and other ordnance manufactured in the Arsenrl, pre paratory to their being distributed for service. This arrangement has been adopted in compliance with the special request of Sir W. Armstrong, in order to relieve the important duties of the department, which is now in full progress for the completion of the stipu lated number of guns by the end of the year, the whole of which will be completed without fail. A new arrangement will then be entered into, when the whole of the machinery recently erected in the new branch of the establishment will be ready for use, so that the department has undertaken to turn out three guns per, day, to be handed over at ,that ratio to the proof department, in readiness for service, after the commencement of the new year. A complete 12. pound battery of Sir W. Armstrong's guns, carriages, limbers, and hospital ammunition waggons, forges, &c., is ordered to be packed in the carriage departm en t o f the Arsenal on Thursday next, to be transmitted overland to China. No. 1 steam transport, the Thunder, with a full cargo, was ordered to leave Deptford this (Monday) morning for Greenhithe, to be swung for the adjustment of compasses, where she will receive 100 tons of powder, and sail for Hongkong. No. 2 steam transport, the Powerful, arrived at Wool wich pier on Saturday, and commenced shipping two heavy batteries of 68 -pounder guns, with an equipment to form a thorough siege train and re quisites to subdue the resistance offered to the pas sage of the Peiho. The cargo of the Powerful will be similar to that of the Thunder—namely, 850 tons of war and commissariat stores. The Powerful is commanded by . Capt. Richards. She will be ready for departure about the 14th inst. No. 3, the Mauritius, will shortly follow. VOLUNTEER CORPS. SOUTH .MIDDLESEX. On Saturday afternoon a large number of the members of this corps attended at their ground at Walt= Green, for the purpose of drill and parade, and to witness a variety of interesting experiments performed by Captain Norton with his various pro jectiles and other inventions. Two new military purpose of inspection, andtent s several were r erected gentlemen for the were present with new i w breech-loading rifles. The weather was rather un propitious, being very cold and damp, notwith standing which the proceedings were enlivened by the presence of a considerable number of ladies. About 200 of the volunteers were in uniform. The first experiment was with a railway guard and passenger signal, which has been previously de scribed ; the next was an alarm signal, intended for the protection of houses against burglars, and consists of a grenade, attached to which is a cord, the grenade exploding by friction. It appears to be useful in firing shells rolling down a glacis, or the slope of a hill fort, the explosion occurring at the exact spot required. This was followed by rifle fire-shot or spinster intended to be fired from a breech-loader, the shot having a slow match saturated with an inflammable liquid paste, made of gunpowder mixed with chlor a t e o f p o t as h and sulphuret of antimony, and proposed to be used for blowing up ammunition waggons, bags of gun powder, setting fire to dry grass or jungle, &c. A shell, adapted for destroying clay defences, on which the ordinary fuze shells would be extin guished, was then exploded successfully. The liquid-fire shells and gossamer cartridges concluded this portidn of the proceedings. The corps were then drawn up in sections and put through various manoeuvres, marching, countermarching, &c., Lord Ranelagh and Captain Seymour giving the word of command to different sections, drill sergeants also taking sections. Lord Ranelagh then read several orders appertaining to matters of detail connected with the corps, and drilling was resumed and continued for several hours. BERWICK. Tho Lord-Lieutenant of Northumberland (Earl Grey) has intimated to the promoters of the volunteer artillery corps forming in Berwick that as soon as it is in a sufficient state of forwardness he will have great pleasure in recommending Government to ac cept the services of the corps, the company to be called the Second Company of Northumberland Artillery and Rifle Volunteers. Eighty-nine active young men have enrolled their names. BEIVDLEY. About £5OO has been received here for the for mation of a rifle corps since the public meeting lately reported in The Sun, and a sufficient number of volunteers to form a complete corps have enrol led themselves. Mr. W. N. Marcy, clerk of the peace of Worcestershire, has been appointed cap tain, and Mr. John Bury lieutenant. BLACKBURN, The second public meeting convened by the mayor of this town was held on Thursday evening in the Town Hall. There were about 500 persons present. The sum of £715 10s. has been already subscribed. CHATHAM. The formation of a rifle corps is being taken up with great spirit in this borough, and in reply to a communication addressed to the Lord Lieutenant by Mr. J. Budden, high constable, Viscount Sydney has sanctioned the formation of the corps, which DROITIVICH. At a meeting convened by circular by the mayor of this borough £lOO in subscriptions was handed in, and a committee was appointed to ascertain certain particulars before the calling of a public meetin g. FALMOUTH. Although the corps in this town has only been Formed six weeks upwards of 100 men have joined. GLASTONBURY. On Thursday evening last a numerous and influ ential meeting of the inhabitants of this borough was held in the Town•hall to organise a volinteer rifle corps in this locality. About 30 of the young men present came forward to have their names enrolled, and it was announced that £llO had been already collected. It is expected that a company of 60 or 70 men will be organised. HALIFAX. The corps at this place is rapidly increasing. An influential meeting of the gentlemen at Brighouse, a thriving manufacturing district, about four miles from Halifax, has just been held, and it has been decided to establish a corps in connection with the Halifax Volunteer Rifles, being under the same `captains, &c. At the meeting about £lOO was sub scribed towards the cost of equipment. MR. DRUMMOND, M.P., ON RIFLE CORPS. At a meeting at Guildford, for tho purpose of forming a rifle corps, Mr. DRUMMOND, after a few preliminary observations, said—l do not think it fair to say about any place where there is an unwillingness to come forward, that it arises from any cause but one—by the blessing of God the people know nothing about wars. You have never seen war, or, in your wildest thoughts, realised any of its horrors. (Hear, hear.) Ask the military man wh a t h e h as t o say about it. You know how the Duke of Wellington spoke on this point. He declared that the most horrid thing that could be witnessed in the world was a field of battle when the battle had been lost ; and the next most horrid thing was the same scene where the battle had been won. Now, Ido not think that anybody in this country doubts that we are in very great peril. Since I had the pleasure of meeting you here six months ago, I have been abroad, and I have taken the trouble to buy up and read a great many pam phlets published by the French ; and you must re member that not a single word is printed without the Emperor's express sanction. These pamphlets make no bones about the matter. They declare that you are the curse of the earth and must be ex punged. (Laughter.) Nothing will satisfy them but bringing you to shame. They say the reason of all this is Waterloo—not because they were licked in a pitched battle, but because foreign armies marched into France and, they declare, pillaged the inhabitants. Now this pillaging sim ply means that those poor people took back from the French what had ken pillaged from themselves. This is an insult they will not stand. (Laughter.) Again, they talk about the Prussian troops insult ing men and women in Paris. Now I remember perfectly well that the guards who wore on guard in one of the fauburgs did certainly see the Prussian soldiers insult many women and kick a large number of men. (Laughter.) They took the Prussians up, and asked them how they dared to do such things, and they said they vowed they would do to the French what, in Berlin, they had seen them do. Now, how are you to meet this ? Our population is not equal to that of France. The Emperor has 560,000 bayonets, whilst we have only 150,000, and 90,000 of them are in India. The militia is not half full. I know one regiment in which a relative of mine is an officer, which is 800 strong nominally, but it has only 200 capable of being brought into the field. Ido not think the militia is well organised. I consider that all men capable of doing so ought to be made to bear arms, without any exemption whatever; and my reason is this, that at present the army is raised almost entirely from the lower classes, but I want a body for the national defence to be composed of the middle and upper classes. (Hear, hear.) However, we are not Cabinet Ministers, and cannot have that ; but I can encourage you to arm yourselves somehow. Ido not believe that the rifle move ment is the best way of doing so, but I do not wish to quarrel with you about that. There are many means of defending the country. You cannot have artillery, because you are not on the sea-coast. Cavalry you cannot well have in towns, because of the want of accommodation for horses, but in coun try places you might have them. But in towns you can only have infantry, and they can be rifle men, if you like. Remember, however, that the rifle is very different from a common gun. It is a clumsy customer to manage, and unless you take great care, and attend to your drill, you will never become efficient riflemen as long as you live. I have a friend in the Highlands of Scot land, who is a famous deer-stalker and a good shot. He has formed a corps of rifle men, and come down to Hythe to learn rifle prac; tice ; and he has never been able to get out of the second class. There are a large number of men who, from physical constitution, connot be riflemen. I cannot, from age; and there are a great many gentlemen who cannot, because they have made more flesh on their bones than I have. (Laughter.) To be a rifleman, you must be young and active. However, begin; and we shall see how you get on. I remember that, when there was an invasion threa tened from Boulogne, and Mr. Pitt led. the move ment, 370,000 volunteers were raised. (Cheers.) How many you have in this movement I do not know ' • but, six months ago, there were only 35 , 000 , which is a very small allowance. The French Em peror is at present causing 20 fiat-bottomed boats to be constructed, which will draw 13 feet of water and carry 2,000 men each, and can thus bring 40,000 men. Now, there is not a single river in Europe in which they can be moved, except the Thames. I do hope that some of my friends will make you realise what the enormous destruction of property would be if a landing were effected anywhere in this country, although the enemy could not get the plunder which they think is to be obtained. Well, I say, go on. Ido not consider that the riflemen form the very best means of defence, but it will be very easy afterwards to form another body as auxi liaries to them ; and, at all events, I shall be happy to help you in any way I can. (Applause.) I move, " That in the preser.t unsettled state of Eu rope, it is of vital importance that the armaments of the United Kingdom should be increased and strengthened, with the special view of repelling any attempt at invasion. (Cheers.) The resolution was seconded by General TWEN• Low, who believed that the rifle movement, which had been aptly designated the peace league, if car ried out generally, would be effective in preventing invasion. ,(Cheers.) PLYMOUTH BREAKWATER.--It has been deter mined by Government to erect an extensive fort on the centre of the breakwater at Plymouth, sufficient with the land batteries on either shore to effectually protect the en trance to the Sound, The work is to be commenced with all possible speed. p, , .0.4 that Id a He to .iea• W. ide• A ,3. 1 3 ,33i 29 as 450' tie o' our fair 4 1
