Captain Templer con gratulated the corps o n their proficiency with the rifles ; that there wer e 30 members in the Ist class, awl 17 who had shot out of it . He reviewed the steps by which thei r p resent success had been insured—that they were now a strong company of 93 effectives, with nearly 40 men as a sub-division at Stanmore, -with some 100 honorary membe rs at both places, antl he expressed his confidence that in no long time they would be able to form a bat talion. He concluded with thanking Lieutenant Elliot for his sea vices as umpire in the contest, which was received with hearty cheers by the corps. The band then played some of the national airs, and, after three cheers for the captain, the ceremony concluded. The shooting for prizes 17 the Leicestershire Volunteer Rifles took place OD Monday and Tues day last at Leicester, when a prize of £6,100 yards, for those who had no instruction in Musketry drill, was won by Private Johnson (Belvoir), who scored eight points in three rounds.

The £lO :silver cup, presented by the members for the borough, was also shot for, the conditions being five rounds at 300 yards, and was won by Private Whitford, Leicester. The chal lenge prize, value 25 guineas, was won by Captain Bankart. The Lord-Lieutenant of Radnorshire county, Sir John Walsh, M.P., reviewed the Rifle Corps, con sisting of three companies—Presteign, Knighton, and New Radnor—at Presteign on Friday last, in the presence of a large body of spectators, among whom were the Lady Jane Walsh, Miss Walsh, the Misses Forbes, Colonel Digby, Major Peel, and Lieutenant Hannam (of the Royal Radnorshire Rifles). The Volunteers acquitted themselves very creditably in the execution of the various move ments, under the command of Captain Mynors, and were highly complimented by the Lord-Lieutenant, who, in the course of his address, expressed his conviction that the movement had not been taken up as a mere holyday pastime, a mere boy's play, or a mere empty pageantry by the men of Radnor shire. Sir John Walsh also alluded to the more healthy tone of our foreign relations, consequent on the Rifle Corps movement, and said his belief was that it had accomplished the great object of preventing invasion. At the same time, in the un settled state of European affairs, it was impossible to say what might happen; and, therefore, it be hoved every lover of his country to support and strengthen the Volunteer movement. The Volun teers, with the officers of the Militia and other gen tlemen, were afterwards entertained to dinner at the Duke's Arms by the Lord-Lieutenant, and a very pleasant evening was spent. In the report of the Lancashire County Rifle meeting of Tuesday mention is made of a " Mr. James Colquhoun, musketry instructor, of Hythe." We are informed that there is no gentleman of that name connected with the staff of the establishment at Hythe. Contributions received by the Treasurer, Edwd.

By CURTISr. J. L. 1 0, A.berniarle-street, Piccadilly, London. (From the New York Times.) A special correspondent of the London Times, who ac companies the British in their China expedition, has sent home a long letter enumerating the causes that led to the present war, and upholding the course that the Allies have thought proper to pursue in their dispute with the Celes tial Emperor. We can hardly ask the Times correspon•• dent to mow.. aionniocy of the United States while ho is under obligations to justify the very opposite policy of his own Government. But we have certainly a right to expect that a correspon dent placed in so responsible a situation would at least steer clear of deliberate misrepresentation. He says, in regard to Mr. Ward's visit to Pekin, about a year ago, that— " After nearly a month's delay a decree arrived authoris ing his admission into the citadel, there to exchange ratifi cations with Kweiliang and Hwashana, who had returned from Shanghai for the purpose. With a very limited suite he left Pehtang in conveyances ill-found and of the lowest class in use. Neither chairs nor horses were allowed him. But the crowing insult was 'to come. The President's letter to the Emperor was to have been delivered by Mr. Ward in person ; but the commissioners, finding that no amount of persuasion would induce him to prostrate himself when pre• senting it, suddenly wrote to know why, if unprepared to conform to this rite, he had come to Pekin at all. Mr. Ward replying that ho had come in consequence of the Emperor's decree received at Pehtang, ordaining that the ratifications of the treaty should be exanged at Pekin, the commission ers rejoined ' If you waive prostration the Emperor waives the presentation of the President's letter.' They reminded him that by his treaty he had no right to require the ex change to be made at Pekin, also that he had said at Shang hai one place would suit him as well as another. This and the verbal explanation of the commissioners drew from Mr. Ward a letter expressing sincere regret' that he had found himself ' unable to comply with the ceremonies of an audi ence,' and the Emperor then consented to receive the Pre ' sident's letter from the hands of the commissioners. . .

A letter from Malta, dated Valetta, Nov. 2, says: —" Her Majesty's line-of-battle ship Caesar, 90, Capt. T. H. Mason, arrived on 31st October from Beyrout in 20 days, and her Majesty's frigate Mel pomene, 51, Capt. C. J. F. Ewart, on the same day from Corfu. The London, 90, Capt. H. Chads . , came in on Nov. Ist from Naples in five days. The Mel pomene, it is said, will proceed to rejoin the admi ral at Corfu after the arrival of the next mail from England, and will take up with her the admiral's wife and two daughters, lately arrived here from England. The Caesar and London are also to pro ceed to Corfu to join the admiral, after taking in stores and undergoing some slight repairs. The gun boat Assurance left for Corfu on 31st October, car rying the mail for the fleet, which had arrived the previous evening by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Euxine from Marseilles.

Sir,—ln your leading article on the Armstrong gun on the sth inst. you state that on only one point is an improvement necessary. " The Arm strong carriage is excessively and needlessly heavy. It is heavier than that of tit old fieldpiece." I venture to call your attention to the enclosed extracts from the evidence given before the select committee of the House of Commons on military organisation, which appear to me to bear upon the subject.—l am, your obedient servant, A VOLUNTEER.

May 22, 1860, Capt. W. H. Gordon, C. 8., again called in, and further examined. 6,093. Chairman—You axe the principal military storekeeper at Woolwich P—Yes. 6,096. How many of the China (Armstrong) guns were there P—Twelve. 6,098. Had they their carriages complete P—Yes, for foreign service. 6,100. How were the Chinese carriages P—The Chinese carriages were of a different pattern from the carriages which have since been introduced into the service, the carriages that went to China being with a bracket trail and the others being with a block trail. 6,101. The Chinese carriages you consider not to have been so complete as those which have been more recently issued p—The recent pattern is cer tainly far superior to the pattern of those that went to China. 6,102. Is that in consequence of any discovery made since the issue to China ? I think not. The Superintendent of the Carriage Department would be better able than I am to answer that uestion but I believe that he always considered q that the block trail carriage was the best.

She was got safely out.—Scotsman.

Do the artillery officers still continue to disapprove the formation of those carriages ?—There is no disagreement on the subject; in fact, there never has been any disagreement of any moment. The only question was with regard to the carriages that went to China. Colonel Tulloh (the Superin tendent of the Carriage Department) was always an advocate for converting the existing block trail carriages so as to make them available for the new guns. All the experiments with my guns had been carried on with bracket trail carriages. As a matter of opinion, I stated that I thought those guns that went to China ought to be mounted on carriages which had actually been tried and found serviceable that, although it was possible the block trail car riages might prove superior to the others, it was at that time a matter of experiment, and ought to be reduced to a certainty before it was adopted. After that experiments were carried on with block trails, and the result has been that the block trail carriage has been adopted. 7,394. What description of carriages have gone down with the 12 guns that have been sent to Aldershott ?—The present service block trail car riage, as modified; IldE VOL UN TEER 111 0 VI: 111E11 7 T. A communication has been sent round by the Earl De grey and Ripon from the War-office to the commanding officers of the various corps with reference to the rifles• given out to the Volun teers in their respective regiments. It alludes to two points, the first of which is the rifle to be used by those - members nominated to be sent to the Musketry School at Hythe, and in this case the rifle used by the Volunteer on drill and firing with his corps is recommended, as the Volunteer is likely to have become accustomed to the sights, &c. The second part of the letter refers to the fact that it haa come to the knowledge of the War-office authorities that Volunteers had altered the locks of their rifles in order to reduce or in crease the amount of the " pull." This practice was considered to have a very dangerous tendency, and in all cases where such alterations had been found to be made the officers in command were to request that such rifle should be returned to the Armoury, and repaired at the cost of the man by whom the lock had been tampered with. The London Scottish had an entertainment of a novel character on Tuesday last, when 70 of the corps volunteered to act as " navvies" in levelling a hill which obscured the targets of the 600 yards range at Wimbledon. The first division worked by daylight with shovels, picks, and barrows regularly told off, and changing by sections to give every man his share of duty. The second division marched down in the dark, and their pipers sounded wildly across the heath. Great fires of whin bushes cast a brilliant glare into the trenches, where the vigorous efforts of the diggers, and the frequent upsets of the wheelborrows seemed to delight and astonish a number- of regular "navvies" who were iookers-on. Now and then a sky-rocket was sent up, a catherine-wheel whizzed round, or a red light shone in the darkness, and squibs and crackers told how near Guy Fawkes' day had been. The scene was most lively and interesting ; the rest ing parties smoking and dancing Highland-reels ; the boxing-class tossing the gravel out of the ditch, and the chorus-class • blending sweet music with the din of spades. The first division was commanded by Ensigns Fisher and Sutherland, sergeants Brown and Ferguson; the second by Sergeant Smith ; Lieutenant Scott directed the engineering operations, and the whole was com manded by Captain Macgregor. The members of the West Company of the Lon don Scottish corps will have a grand day at Wim bledon-common on Friday next, on which occasion three very handsome silver cups will be shot for, at different ranges. On the same day the members of the first-class will, by the kind permission of Gen. Sir R. Dacres, Commandant of the Woolwich gar rison, have some target practice at the butts on Plumstead-common. Yesterday evening, shortly before 9 o'clock, a general muster of the members of the 29th Middle sex Rifle Corps was held in the Riding-school of 'he Regent's Park Barracks, for the introduction of ord Enfield as Lieutenant-Colonel of the corps. ill had previously taken place in the grounds, I there was an unusually large attendance of tubers in uniform, as well as ladies and gentle : in ordinary attire.

(Cheers.) Three cheers having been given for Lord Enfield and Mr. Edwin James, M.P., the proceedings terminated. The ceremony of distributing the annual prizes to the 18th Middlesex (Harrow Rifles) took place at the National School-rooms at 8 o'clock on Mon day last. The contest had occupied two days, and had been a very keen one, as there were ties for the first and second prizes, ties for the third and fourth, and ties for the last prize. The ranges we re 200, 300, 400 , 500, 600, 700, 800, and 900 yards, five shots at each ; and the conditions con fined the competitors to the long Enfield rifle sup plied by the Government to the corps, and to the Hythe positions. There were 38 competitors, and the scores above 20 were as follow :—Thornton 30, Mock, 30, Hoare, 26, Avery 28, Walton 25, Bull 25, G. Smith 24, Captain Templer 23, and Savage 21. At the 3d-class ranges Thornton, Mock, Hoare, and W. Roberts were first with 12 each ;at the 2d-class Thornton was first with 13, and at the long ranges Capt. Templer was first with 8, having scored a centre at each of 700, 800, and 900 yard ranges. These scores were below the usual average shooting of the corps ; but the weather the first day had been very unpropitious —thick and muggy, with :continual rain, and on this day third and second class ranges were shot. The corps fell in at the Grange, Roxeth, and, under the comm and of Capt. Templer, marched to the school room, where a large company of friends and riGitors was assembled. The first prize, a silver cup, was presented by Mrs. Templer to Private Thornton, who beat Sergeant Mock in shooting ;off the ties. The corps was formed to three sides of a square, and Mrs. Templer, advancii2s to the cen tre, addressed them as follows :—" Captaii Templer and gentlemen of the Harrow Rifles,-1 h ttN - e had much pleasure in offering for competition a sma2 l token of the gratitude with which, in common, I believe, with every English wife and mother.

Admission, ls, ~ O To Pehtang the American Minister was accordingly con. veyed, and at that town his treaty was exchanged, not with the Plenipotentiary Kweilang, but with the provincial llang-fuh. Thus were the conditions of Mr. Read's treaty fulfilled—a treaty which places an American Minister on much the same footing when he visits the capital as an envoy of Loo-Choo." This is all incorrect, and widely different from Mr. Ward's own version of his journey to Pekin. It differs, too, very materially from the accounts published at the time in British journals. Every possible respect was shown the American envoy while in the Chinese capital, and the ar rangements for his visit were made under an Imperial order. It is true that his movements were closely watched, but proper allowances should be made for Chinese preju dices and exclusiveness, and for the fact that Mr. Ward had only recently parted from the British and French am bassadors, then at open war with the empire. It is quite wrong to :say that the American Minister stood on the same footing as an envoy from Loo-Choo. According to the report of the interview between Mr. War d and thetelndy perial commissioners, the latter express l y and re s p ta e as O. stated that the Emperor looked upon the U n ited t y respect a friendly nation, and their Pre sident as inewveeirliang that equal to himself.

Finding that ho could not pass Taku, he applied to the Government of China to give him access to Pekin, and the request was granted. There is not the slightest ground for supposing that the Chinese meant or mean now to violate their treaty obliga tions. Nor is there any reason why Mr. Ward should be censured for ratifying his treaty at Pehtang - when he found it impossible to accomplish that act at Pekin. Like a sen sible man he was determined to deal with the Chinese as he found them, and did not attempt to thrust his own notions of propriety down their throats. In a despatch to the Earl of Malmesbury, then Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Bruce, the English Envoy, distinctly admitted that no other course was open to Mr. Ward than the one he adopted, and that there was every probability of his being received in a friendly manner at Pekin. American diplomacy, up to this time, has effected much more in China than the arras of France and England com- bined ; and while the independent attitude of the AmeeCcal 2 Minister has obtained for him the confidence of the China Be on the one hand, and the Anglo-French party on the other, same attitude will enable him, when the proper tine* TS, to mediate between position id not be more honourable than it is, and as the favoured nation clause is in our treaty, it will be impossible for either France or England to acquire any privileges by tho present war that will not equally accrue to citizens of the United States. TEE LAW COURTS. We believe that it is the intention of her Ma jesty's:Government, immediately after the meeting of Parliament, to introduce a measure for the pur pose of giving effect to the recomviendations of the Commissioners who, a short time ego, were ap pointed to inquire into the expedien.V of bring ing together into one place or neighbourhood all • the supreme courts of law and equity, the Probate and Divorce Courts, and the Court of Admiralty, and the various offices belonging to the same, and into the means which exist and may be sup for providi ng a s ite or sites for carrying out Ois object." The Commissioners were Sir J. T. Cole ridge. Sir W. P. Wood, Sir George Cornewa 11. Lewis. Lord Wynford, Dr. Phillimore, and Mr.. Johu Young ; the last being of considerable expe rience and standing in the profession as a solicitor. After a careful and laborious inquiry these gentle men came to the conclusion that the interests of the profession, as well as that of the public, would. be suhOrved by giving to the administration ofjus tice in the superior courts a local and permanent habitation. Every student of constitutional history knows perfectly well that provision of :Magna Charta which declares that justice shall be admi nistered in " c ertain fixed places." The practice of English law in modern times has, however, evinced a most unaccountable departure from the wise deter mination of our ancestors. We take the metropolis as a case in point. There is little difficulty as to the certainty that a particular Court wile different l sit in a particular place on a give n da y ; but th tribunals are distributed over an enormous area, which places one at the west -end and the other at the east-end of London, and, as a nec essar y conse quence, interferes most seriously with the conve nient administration of justice and the ordinary conduct of legal business , Mr. Gregory, a most intelligent and experienced solicitor, in his evi dence before the Commission, has pointed out the inconvenience and costliness of the present system. &arting from tho City, you have in Basin hall ' street a tribunal which dispenses one species of liss;olvency law with respect to traders, and in p o ,-iugal-street you have another tribunal which deals' with insolvent non traders and bankrupt traders* whose debts do not exceed £3OO. Travel ling wesa , ward you come to the Probate, Divorce, an d Ad m inalty registries, at Doctors' Commons, which are coVnected with courts which sit at West minster, in root, as lent by the Lord Chancellor and • the Master of t. he Rolls. Lincoln's-inn, we all • know, is the home and centre of Chancery admi nistration, and that the common law courts in term time sit in Westminster, and out of term in the city. But this is only a small part of the evil. The offices , attached to these several tribunals are distributed. in the most absurd and arbitrary way all over the metropolis—at Lincoln's-iire, the Rolls-yard, the Temple, Staple's-inn, Linc•oln's-inn-fields, Ser geants'-inn, and Lancaster-place. The Commis sioners state—" The superior courts of common. law and equity are very commonly sitting in 11 places, and often in more, at the same hour, and. single judges are frequently required to be sitting at two places at different hours in the same day.' A common law judge, for instance, although sitting at 'Westminster, has to attend at chambers in Ser gessits'-inn at the bottom of Chancery-lane. The inconvenience of such a system to the Judges, to ibe bar, and to the solicitors and attorneys, cannot be exaggerated ; but we will not rest the case upon merely professional grounds. The public, who con stitute the body of suitors, have to pay for these changes not only in the shape of unnecessary rent, and increased costs, and augmented delays, but the general administration of the law is injured by that unwholesome separation of business, which can.not be excused, even on the ground of the division of labour. On this point a great authority, the Attor ney-General, states—" I regard the concentration of the courts as likely to lea d togreat public ad vantage by making the different courts of law and equity familiar with the procedure of each other. Cases constantly occur in which a judge sitting in a court of law is desirous of having an opportunity of consulting a judge sitting in a court of equity, and v i ce versa." If this in tercommunication could take place parties would often be spared the expense of issue* at law to ascer t a in matters of fact, and the com.mon law judges would have no excuse for refusing to enter tain, as they have hitherto done, equitable defences. But whilst everybody, on professio nal and public grounds, has been in favour of the concentration ,of the courts, two difficulties have presented therar selves. How was the site and how were the neces- , sary funds to be obtained ? The late Sir Charles Barry many years ago proposed that a P alace of Justice should be erected in Lincoln's-inn-fields ; but this idea was speedily given up because it was thought that in a sanitary point of view it would be extremely inexpedient to build- over an area which is one of the most important lungs of the metropolis. The Commissioners, whose decision has by personal inspection been confirmed by Lord Palmerston, are in favour of a more eligible site.. They propose—disregarding the historical memo ries of Westminster, where, in fact, no available land is to be obtained—to devote to the concentra tion of the law courts a block of buildings which • comprises " close and ill-built streets;. badly venti lated and drained, and which, in respcct of part at least, is very discreditably inhabited.' The pro posed site will be bounded by Carey-street on the north and the Strand on the South, Bell-yard. on the east and Clement's-inn on the west. The svol required for the purchase of land is estimated LA £675,000, and the same, it is stated, will be required for the erection of the Palace of Justice —making,. in the whole, £1,358,000. The Commissioners, with the exception of Sir W. P. Wood, have recom mended that this expense should be defrayed by the suitors' fund in Chancery—a fund which now possesses a capital of £1,291,629. We believe that this charge may be incurred without the slightest risk to the Chancery suitors, who already possess another fund which is more thanl sufficient for the ordinary expenses of the Court. The Government has acted wisely in having determined thus early to carry out this great measure of legal and muni cipal improvement—one which will not only toat tend to improve the administration of th e law, butt happily be effected without entailing any aPPre" ciable charge either upon the Chancery the general public of this country.
