Lyndon: . Barry Du Barry d Co. 77, Regent-street. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY. A public inquiry into the loss of the Royal Charter, held under the orders of the Board of Trade, opened to-day in St. George's-hall before Mr. J. S. Mansfield, stipendiary magistrate, and Captain llarris, R.N. Mr. O'Dowd conducted the case for the Board of Trade ; Mr. J. B. Aspinall represented Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co., the owners of the Royal Charter. Mr. O'Dowd, in opening the case, said though he had acted in a similar capacity upon many other occasions during the last four years, never in his experience, and he ventured to say that never within the memory of man, had any event occurred so distressing in its character, or so lamentable for the extent of its sacrifices and losses, as the event which they were met to investigate. He then read the description of the vessel from the register, and afterwards a description of her steam power from Dr. Scoresby's narrative of the passage he made in the vessel for scientific purposes. He then proceeded to state that she was cominanded by Captain Taylor, a gentleman of the highest respec tability; her crew consisted of 112 persons ; her cargo, of wool, sheepskins, and a large quantity of gold, was consigned to Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co. She also carried 375 passengers or thereabouts, but it was impossible to ascertain the precise num ber. He then stated the nature of the evidence to be brought forward, and said two questions sug gested themselves from the mode in which this ship broke up. The fact of an iron vessel shivering to atoms in this rapid and complete way would cer tainly indicate to those not versed in nautical science a deficiency in strength, if not positive weakness. He had suggested this in a communication to Mr. Tyndall Bright, who denied that there was any ground for such a conclusion. The first witness called was David Strongman, whose evidence was as follows was quartermas ter on board the Royal Charter for about two years. We sailed from Melbourne on the 2,pth August last, and"arrived at Queenstown on the 24th October, having made a very rapid passage. We landed 13 passengers in the Petrel lifeboat at that port. We had a very fine passage up the Channel as far as Holyhead, which we reached about half-past 4 o'clock, on Tuesday, the 25th October, the wind then being from the S.E. I came on deck at 4 o'clock, when it was very thick. We kept about five miles off Holyhead. When we came to Bardsey we took in some riggers. I went below at 6 o'clock to get my supper, and returned to the deck in about three quarters of an hour. It was dark at a little after 6 o'clock. Saw Point Lynas light about a quarter to 7 o'clock. I then went below again, where I re mained till 8 o'clock. Cannot tell what distance we were off the light, but should say it would be about six or seven miles. It was then broad upon the star board bow, but I did not take the bearings by com pass, nor did I know the positionof the head of the vessel. My next watch commenced at 8 o'clock, when I relieved John Hudson. The wind then was N.E., and was blowing very hard. It be gan to freshen after we left Holyhead, and con tinued to blow strong. I did not see Cap tain Taylor on deck at n o'clock, but observed him there about a quarter to 9, when he ordered the man at the wheel to starboard the helm. The man replied she was hard a-starboard. That was after 9 o'clock. About half an hour afterwards the cap tain ordered me to heave the lead, and I took the hand lead line, and after some difficulty sounded 18 fathoms. We had no sail on then, but the spanker was going, and the screw was also going all this time. The vessel was then steering E.S.E. I did not hear any course given, but having occasion to pass the compass I noticed how the vessel was heading. Some time after 10 o'clock soundings were taken again, and we then got about 16 fathoms. At that time the vessel was drifting very fast, and it was difficult to take soundings. It was then blowing very strong. Capt. Taylor was on deck during this time. At 8 o'clock he ordered us to loose the lower maintopsail. I reported the soundings to him myself. The maintopsail was set as ordered ; that and the spanker were the only sails which were set at this time. After reporting the second soundings to the captain, he ordered both anchors to be prepared for letting go. It would be about 11 o'clock when the maintopsail was set, and after that we attempted to stay the vessel, but did not succeed. The captain also ordered the foreyard and crossjack yards to be squared. The setting of the maintopsail had no effect upon the helm;which kept hard a-starboard, and she had no steering way. The squareyard and crossjack yard were braced to, but still she did not stay. Capt. Taylor then ordered the chief officer to try to wear, but being engaged with the lead I did not see whether it was done, but I saw the captain and chief officer consulting about wearing the ship. At the third cast of the lead I got 151- fathoms. That was after the ship was brought up. The wind was increasing then. Capt. Taylor told the chief mato to let go the port anchor, and the starboard anchor in about a quarter of an hour afterwards. The vessel dragged the port anchor a little, but it appeared to bring her head a little to the wind. I felt the wind more ahead, though I did not go forward to see how the cable was. Before the second anchor was let go the master told me to get . the deep sea lead up, in order to try whether the vessel was drifting. I put the Beep sea lead on the hand lead line, which was 21 fathoms in length. I used that line. because I was told to do so by the master. When the deep sea lead was hove the vessel was dragging her anchor a little. When tke starboard anchor was let go she ceased to drag. It would be about half past 11 then. At 20 minutes to 12 I was relieved. Th e vess el appeared to bring up after the second anchor was let go. I went to the wheel a little after 12. and the helm was still hard a-starboard. When relieved at the wheel I went forward on the port bridge, and took hold of the line to see if she was drifting, but she appeared then to be holding fast. Rockets and blue lights were burning, and guns firing all the time from Bto 12 o'clock. When I found that the vessel was not dragging I went into .. the forecastle, where I remained about a quarter of an hour. After that I went on to the port bridge. The vessel still held fast. I returned again to the forecastle, and. shortly afterwards she parted her port chain. It would theta be about half-past-1 or 2 o'clock. There was a very heavy sea at the time, and she made a very heavy pitch on parting her port chain. Her head was S.E. by half E. when I went to the helm. After the second anchor was let go the maintopsail was stowed up. There was lion a heavy sea from the N.E. I heard that the port chain parted near the hawser pipe, but do not know it of my own knowledge. When the port-chain parted orders were given to get the stream anchor out of the after hold. There was a sheet anchor on board. The stream anchor was got up on deck, but before we could bend the cable to it the starboard chain broke. The vessel then turned her head to the westward and went ashore. She stria the sand first. This would be about 3or half-past 3 o'clock. Heard orders given to clear away the boats, and the carpenter at the same time got his axes to cut away the masts. The mainmast was cut away about half an hour after the vessel went ashore ; it fell over on the port side. The lee-rigging was cut away afterwards. The screw worked up to the time the vessel was struck, but stopped before the mast was cut away. It had a two-bladed fan. The wreck, I think went clear of the screw. When the vessel touched the sand the sea struck her very heavily, and she went on 'the sand violently. She was broadside on to the sea when she struck. She struck first about the bridge part of the poop. She was pretty upright then, and the sea made a clear breach over the starboard side, just as if she had been a breakwater, and carried everything away on the side. Captain Taylor was struck by the sea several times, and I picked him up twice. The captain told me to take the load, and see what water there was inside, and I found about 3 fathoms at the break of the poop, and about 2 forward. This was before the vessel struck on the rock, and after she struck on the sand. I did not report tha soundings to the captain. I then went into the forecastle, and never went aft again. About half an hour afterwards the chip struck on the rock. Several of the crew and passengers were in the forecastle with rue. Orders were given to get out the boats, but I don't think any men were told off for the purpose. The life boats were ready for swinging. Just before day light we struck on the rocks, and Joseph Rogers, a Maltesr, swain ashore, carrying a hawser with him. A boatswain's chair was made fast to the hawser, and several, including myself, got ashore by this means. There was a good deal of scrambling to get the chance of going ashore, as the ship was fast breaking up. I was on board when the vessel broke in two, and was helping to haul the line backwards aid forwards. The poop went down altogether before I left the ship. She parted at the main hatchway first, and then lengthways. There were a good many peo ple on shore, but I did not seo any lifeboat put off or any Coastguards. (It was stated that the Coast guard station was six miles off.) The vessel broke By Captain Harris—l was on deck when the Tuscar Light was ptssed. It was then very calm. The light sails woe the only ones carried to my knowledge. Never heard that any of the cables parted in the chain beker. When the anchor was let. out, the cables run freely for all I know. The witness was then dismissed. (The Court was still sitting when our parcel was despatched. It appears .by a later received from Moelfre, of the 14th inst., that the body of another man had been picked up at that place. In one of the pockets. the sum of 6s. 2d. was found, together with a knife and a key. There Isere no marks upon his cloth ing that would lead to identification. Two more male bodies had also been cast ashore at Redwharf. Bay, on one of which was a Guernsey frock, marked " L. and A. N. Co. (Liverpool and Australian Navi gation Company), which leaves no doubt that he was one of the crew. A little boy was also reported as having been washed ashore near the bay in question. The divers had piiricerk - up a nugget and a 25.-piece yesterday. They hive also succeeded in raising 137 ingots of gold, and 68 tiles of copper. SYMPATHY WITII ITALY IN GLASGOW On Monday afternoon a preliminary meeting of the friends of Italy in Glasgow was held in the Queen's Hotel, to concert measures for answering the appeal of General Garibaldi for material sup port from Great Britain to aid him in upholding the cause of civil and religious freedom in Italy. Among the gentlemen present were—Walter Bu chanan, Esq., M.P., Hugh Tennent, Esq., of Well park ; Councillors J. Taylor, M'Adam, and Wat son, &c. _ _ Mr. BUCIIANAN M.P., was called to the chair. He said—The object of this meeting is to dis cuss the line of conduct that the friends of Italy in . this city should adopt in reference to the present crisis of the Italian question. I be lieve there is a very general opinion that the pre sent position of Italy is very precarious. (Ikar.) Notwithstanding the efforts that the Italian nations have made to further their own liberties, they are surrounded by false friends. (Hear.) The policy of France, whatever we may have thought of it in the first instance, has latterly assumed an aspect that must cause great apprehension to all those who wish to see constitutional government established in Italy; and if anything has been wanting to alarm those who wish well to Italy, it is the conduct of Louis Napoleon within the last few days. After we had the best reason to believe that no further inter ference would have taken place on the part of France in Italian affairs, except mere " moral suasion," as it is termed—mere advice—it appears now, that after the Italian Duchies and the Romagna have agreed upon a Sardinian prince as a fit person to be their Regent, and after they have elected him, that Napoleon has influence enough with Victor Emmanuel to prevent that election taking effect, and that now these countries remain without a ruler, and in a false position, and seem almost to be on the very verge of falling into utter dissolu tion ; for want of a head the social edifice is not unlikely to fall to pieces. Now, it was to obviate this that Prince Carignan was elected, and Napo leon, in the interest of his own policy—but I very much fear not in the interest of Italian liberty —has interposed his veto, and prevented that election taking effect. Under these critical cir cumstances it has occurred to many that no bet ter course could be followed than supporting, by every means in our power, the popular leader who played so distinguished a part in the Italian war, Garibaldi. (" Hear, hear," and applause.) We are come here, not so much to resolve on any course, as to deliberate. 1 believe that, following the ex ample set to a certain extent in Lond,on,.we can do no better than resolve ourselves into a committee, having for our principal object to support Italian freedom in every way, and also, iT that should be thought a desirable course, to contribute to the ex tent of our means so as to supply arms by which the Italians might defend their own cause. Mr. M'TEAR then read the following resolu tions :—" Ist. That the conduct of the Italian peo ple and their noble leader, Gen. Garibaldi, in the present momentous and patri o ti c s t r uggle for their civil and religious liberties, entitles them to the moral sympathy and nations aid of all true lovers of constitutional erections. 2d. That this meeting deeply sympathises with, and earnestly encourages them in the difficult, dangerous, and arduous strug gle in which they are at present engaged, and hopes that, by the blessing of God, their noble and patriotic efforts may be crowned with success. 3rd. That this meeting expresses its unbounded confi dence in the patriotism, military skill, discretion, and singleness of purpose of their great leader, Gen. Garibaldi. 4th. That this meeting hereby resolve, in order to show, in an unmistakeable manner, its sympathy with the great cause, and confidence in the Italian people and their leader, to answer Gen. Garibaldi's appeal to this country for material aid in the purchase of arms for the patriotic army, by at once commencing a subscription for that pur pose." Mr. HUGH TENNENT had great pleasure in pro posing the resolutions to the meeting. Garibaldi was not unknown to them all. He had long distin guished himself by his proud conduct and great patriotism ; and he was sure it would be a credit to the city of Glasgow to come forward and support not only Garibaldi but the cause he has espoused— the cause of civil and religious liberty. Mr. W. P. PATON seconded the resolutions. Councillor M'ADAM supported the resolutions. He quite agreed that material aid was the thing wanted, and ho would impress upon the meeting, and the public out of doors the necessity for exer cising every power they have speedily to give ma teriat aid to Garibaldi. The resolutions were carried nem. eon. Mr. M'TEAR then moved that the meeting ap point a committee, with power to add to their num ber, in order to procure subscriptions to this fund, and to call a public meeting or otherwise act as to them may seem best suited for effecting the object in view. • This was also carried. •Mr. SMITH thought that while having direct communication with their London friends, they might also have the same with the Italian people. They should send the money themselves. They hai but one common object in view, and ho thought they should let the money go direct from the citizens of Glasgow. A subscription sheet was laid on the table at the meeting, and among the donations were DO from Walter Buchanan, Esq., M.P., and a similar sum from Hugh Tennent, Esq., the whole amounting to about £l5O. WAKEFIELD ELECTION COMMISSION. WAKEFIELD, Nov. 15. After the despatch of our parcel last night, seve ral witnesses of no importance having been exa mined, Mr. Leeman, on behalf of the pure Liberal elec tors, proposed to put in a document showing the result of the inquiry, and principally establishing the fact that out of 406 electors who voted for Mr. Leatham only 43 had been bribed. Mr. Sergeant Pigott refused to receive this resume. It would merely be an anticipation of the judgment of the Commissioners, and it would be highly irregular to take it in the shape of evidence from either side. The Commissioners then adjourned to Monday next in London. This sudden termination of the Wakefield sittings is owing to Mr. Wiles being obliged to commence the duties of his new appoint ment as County Court judge of the Northumberland district, at Newcastle, this day. The returns proposed to be put in by Mr. Lee man showed the following general results of the in quiry up to the present time:— Electors polled for Mr. Leatham 406. Electors pollt,d for Mr. Charlesworth ~.. 403. Total number polled Electors proved to have been bribed to vote for Mr. Leathern Electors proved to have been bribed for Mr. eharlesworth Total bribed This leaves 847 electors out of a total constituency of 952 against whom no charge of bribery has been proved. Of the 51 electors bribed on the Liberal side eight either stood neutral or voted for the Con servatives, and there are also eight Liberal voters against whom the facts proved scarcely amount to bribery. The Implacable was brought alongside tho Dockyard, Deroaport, on Monday, to be fitted as a training ship. The paddlewheel steamsloop Virago, 6, Com mander Dunn, steamed from Hamm into Ply mouth Sound on Monday, and was appointed to sail yesterday (Tuesday) for Sheerness. The screw steam gun vessel Flying Fish, 6, Com mander Hope, steamed from Plymouth Sound into Hamoaze, on Monday, and went alongside the coal depot. The gunboat Wenzel, Lieut. Howorth, having carried away her starboard bilge piece on Sunday, off the Royal William Victualling-yard, was taken into dock at Keyham, Plymouth, on Monday. Tho screw steamsloop Encounter, 14, Captarn Roderick Dew, and the gunboats Bouncer, Lieut. A. M. 0 yen, and Snap, Lieut. C. Butler, sailed from Plymouth on Monday, for China. Her Majesty's screw steam-vessel Wrangler is now lying off the Royal Arsenal Pier, Woolwich, for the purpose of receiving specimens of Sir Wm. Armstrong's rifled ordnance of various calibre, and 'gun-carriages recently manufactured at the Royal Carriage Department, from designs by Col. Tulloch, superintendent of the establishment, Major Clark, R.A., Sir W. Armstrong, and others, with a view to the introduction of the Armstrong gun generally into the royal nary. The Wrangler on leaving Woolwich will proceed to the North Sea, where a series of experiments will be carried out under the direction of several naval and military officers. We have authority to give full contradiction to the statement in The .Sun of Monday that there have been repeated bickerings and misunderstand ings between the commander of her Majesty's ship Trident and his officers and crew. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—William H. Baxter, as sist.-surg., to the Artillery Division of th e Royal Marines ; and Charles Hetherington, second class assist-engineer of Inflexible, promoted. THE ARMY. GENERAL ORDER. JtonsE GUARDS, S.W., Nov. 9. His Royal Highness the General Commanding in-Chief, having had occasion lately to remark on the unequal estimate of crime and allotment of punishment by Courts-martial, especially as regards corporal punishment, has taken this important sub ject under his anxious consideration, with a view to amendment and correction. With this object he has decided upon establishing a classification of soldiers, for the purpose of maintaining a distinction between the classes as regards liability to corporal punishment. All men on entering the army will be placed in the first class, and will not, except for aggravated mutinous conduct, be liable to corporal punishment. They will continue in the first class unless they should incur degradation into the second class by the commission of certain crimes hereafter specified. For this purpose his Royal highness has further decided on classifying the offences committed by soldiers under two distinct heads. Crimes under the Ist head are to be the following:— Absence from parade. Drunkenness. Riotous conduct in the streets. Absence without leave from tattoo. Preferring frivolous complaints. Disrespect to non-commissioned officers. Striking a comrade. Absence without leave, as defined by 51st Art. of War. Escaping from confinement. Insubordination. Making away with necessaries. Falsely imputing improper conduct to a superior. Sleeping oh post, depending on the circumstance is and nature of the service. Crimes under the 2d head are to be the follow- Desertion. Mutinous conduct. Aggravated cases of insubordination and violence. Drunkenness on duty or on line of march. Embezzling public money. Stealing from a comrade. Theft. Designedly maiming. Repeated acts of making away with necessaries, arms, accoutrements, ammunition, &c. Other disgraceful acts showing vicious or unna tural propensities, indecent assaults. No man guilty of offences under the Ist head is to be subject to corporal punishment, except during time of war, when the army is in the field. Men guilty of offences under the 2d head, being crimes of a very serious description, will, if in the second class, be liable to corporal punishment. If, however, they are in the first class, they will, toge ther with their other punishment, not being corpo ral punishment, be disrated, and passed into the second class, when they will thenceforth, on the repetition of under the 2d head, be liable to corporal punishment, as having degraded them selves by their own bad conduct. Uninterrupted good conduct for a year will how ever, again restore the soldier from the second to the first class, as proving a desire for reformation and amendment. Though thus classified, it does not follow that all men under the second class are to be condemned to corporal punishment. Each case is to be decided upon its own merits, And corporal punishment as much avoided as pos sible; but a man who by misconduct has placed himself in the second class is liable thereafter to corporal punishment, whereas the man in the first class is not liable to Such punishment, except in tho case of aggravated mutinous conduct, when severity must at once be resorted to to repress more serious mischief resulting from such conduct. His Royal Highness trusts that the above classi fication will greatly simplify to the officers of the army the method of dealing with crime ; will deter the evil-disposed from committing offences, justly subjecting them to severe punishment, which, though necessary to maintain discipline, should be restricted as much as possible ; and will give.con fidence to the good soldier by securing to him, on entering her Majesty's service an immunity from degrading punishment, which immunity it will be in his power to preserve to the day when his en gagement shall expire. By command of his Royal Highness the General Commanding-in-Chief, G. A. WETHERALL, Adjutant-General A circular memorandum, dated Horse Guards, Nov. 12, has been received by the several colonels commanding the battalions at Chatham garrison, intimating that the General Commanding-in-Chief has decided that the leather leggings ordered to be worn by the troops belonging to the British regi ments are to be issued to the depots of all those regiments now serving in India, in common with the troops at home. The course pursued by the military authorities at Chatham, acting under the orders received from ' the Government, in setting at liberty in the public streets of that.town insane soldiers discharged from the lunatic hospital at Fort Pitt, as detailed in The Sun of yesterday, has met with determined oppo sition on the part of the officials of the parish in which Fort Pitt is situate. In consequence of the parish authorities having declined to receive in any way the insane soldiers, the military officials gave notice they would be set at liberty ; the Govern ment have decided on taking legal proceedings against them, under the Lunacy Act, to recover the penalties to which, it is alleged, they have rendered themselves liable, and notice to that effect was yes terday given them. The parish authorities have determined to defend the actions, in order that it may be decided by the courts of law whether the Government are justified in the extraordinary course they have adopted in setting at liberty luna tics in the public streets, an offence which has been held to be indictable. Orders were yesterday received at the Royal Engineers' establishment, Chatham, directing the detachment of Royal Engineers, ready for some time past to proceed to China for the purpose of augmenting the Bth and 10th companies, to leave head-quarters this morning for Woolwich, where they are to join 250 non-commissioned officers and men of the Royal Artillevy, and both proceed to Portsmouth together, the Simoom, in which they embark for China, having been declared ready for sea. The Royal Engineers will take out with them a large supply of all kinds of engineering stores and implements to be used in sapping and mining and siege operations. The detachment is also ac companied by a party of photographers, provided with the best instruments used in ph otography, for taking views of the defences. earthworks, &c.

Monday assembled at n general parade to witness the presentation of a medal to Private Robert Pennick, of the Royal -Marine Light Infantry, awarded him by the Royal Humane Society, for having on the 13th of August last, at the risk of his own iife, saved from drown ing the Hon.

Their Lordships' letter, conveying their highest commendation and approval of the conduct of Private Pennick, was read to the division by the Commandant, who, in presenting the medal, expressed in very feeling and appropri ate terms the pleasure it afforded him to be enabled thus publicly to reward so gallant an action. Pri vate Pennick received a sovereign from the gallant captain of the Britannia, Capt. T. Harris. TIIE OUTBREAK AT PORTSMOrmr. We have received the following explanation, from unquestionable authority, of the unfortunate outbreak by the crew of her Majesty's ship Princess Royal, at Portsmouth, on the 12th inst. Saturday, the 12th, being the day set apart for the launch of the Victoria, in the presence of her Majesty, was kept as a holiday in the dockyard, all work being, of course, suspended on board the Princess Royal, and the men's wives and friends were allowed on board for the day. After the visitors had left the ship, one watch of the ship's company were granted leave ashore for the night, and were marched to the gate of the dockyard with an officer to pass them out, which he was about to do, when an order ar rived from the Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Bowles, that no man was to leave the ship, and all who were about to go for the night were to return to the ship. This order was in consequence of the remainder of the crew who had been left on board also requesting leave to go on shore, and, on its being refused, showing great discontent. Shortly after the men had been got aboard Captain Baillie arrived from the Admiralty-house, and piping the petty officers on the poop, explained to them the circumstances under which the men could not leave that night, it being the Admiral's order, in consequence of the dissatisfaction shown by the remainder of the ship's oompany after one watch had leave granted them. While Captain Baillie was addressing the petty officers, however, the most discordant yells and no i ses i ssue d from the lower deck, and the officers of the ship at once had the crew beat to quarters. The lights were extinguished by the men on the lower deck, so thrt it was impossible to pick out the ringleaders from the better disposed portion of the crew. All those men who had nothing to do with the disturbance were now piped on deck and their names taken down, and afterwards marched out on the jetty alongside which the ship was made fast for the purpose of landing her stores and gear. About 140 of the most worthless of the crew remained below, and refused to pay any atten- tion to their officers' commands or entreaties. They were immediately, as far as possible, battened down on the lower deck, on which they were committing the most outrageous excesses. The marines of the ship stood by their officers manfully, and had to be kept back from the men, or blood would most undoubtedly have been shed. The men now on the lower deck were a pack of infuriated madmen, and whenever an officer appeared near any hatchway which had not been battened down, a piece of crockery, a naked cutlass, even muskets with bayo nets fixed, were thrown up at him. The marines from the different ships in the harbour arrived in about an hour from the first commencement of the mutiny, and formed on the jetty alongside the ship in readiness to reduce the men, if necessary, by force. The officers new addressed the men and pointed out to them that it was only a question of a few moments, that they must surrender and at once, if not voluntarily, to the use of other meals. The men seeing there was no hope of escape, every porthole being carefully guarded on the outside of the ship, at length came up from below and surrendered themselves, when they were immediately secured and conveyed on board the St. Vincent guardship of ordinary in the harbour, where they will await instructions respecting them from the Admiralty. Thus this most serious affair rests at present. The men up to that time since their arrival in port had behaved themselves well and worked as hard as it was possible for men to work. On that day, how ever, a large number of the men's wives and friends had been on board, and they had been enjoying themselves together, dancing on the deck and other wise amusing themselves. A little extra drink they no doubt obtained as well, and this with the excite ment of meeting friends after a long absence, the holiday on account of the Queen's presence in the dockyard, &v., may have contributed largely to the men's frenzy, although it cannot excuse their in subordinate conduct, which has been under rather than over stated. Many of the men's wives who had been on board darinii the day were waiting for their husbands outside the dockyard gates, knowing there was to be leave, when the men were ordered back to the ship, and this is stated to have greatly exasperated them.

The Lord Mayor stated that nearly 600 gentlemen have applied for enrolment, and day by day the numbers increase ; still, said his lordship, there was a backwardness on the part of young men to join, which he feared was for want of sanction to their doing so on the .part of their employers.

The committee of this corps have been holding their meetings for the purpose of organisation for some time past in this district, but hitherto their meetings have not been made public. Earl Gros venor has been chosen Colonel ; the uniform has been decided upon and fully approved ; it is similar in colour to that of Lord Elcho's, as worn by him at Hythe.

DEVONSHIRE. The members of the Exeter •Rifle Corps are con stant in their attendance at drill, and the progress they have made is deemed by competent military authorities most satisfactory. In the rural districts of the extensive county of Devon efforts, it is ex pected, will soon be made, in accordance with the suggestions of Mr. T. D. Acland, made a few days ago at a meeting of some troops of the Devon Yeo manry Corps. Mr. Aciand's plan is to get the yeo men and sons of yeomen living near together to meet regularly and receive elementary drill in the use of the rifle, and thus, by getting a few centres of such riflemen, a good force would soon be ob tained. HALIFAX. This corps, formed at Halifax a few months ago, is now in a most efficient condition. During the summer and fine autumn months the corps met daily, some in the morning and others at night, but now the members arc so well up in their movements that two days a-week arc sufficient, one day in the riding-school and the other in the Piece-hall. They are fully equipped with arms and uniform. A band of able musicians, too, has been organised, and is to be attached to the corps. They were sworn in as members before the Mayor of Halifax last Saturday. The corps numbers, independent of the band, about 100 members, and about 30 more are waiting to be sworn in. A field has been taken at a short distance from the town, and there rifle practice is carried on. The corps contains some excellent marksmen. STRIKE IN TILE BUILDING TRADE. Last night the usual weekly meeting of the Trades Delegates in support of the men at present on the lock-out, in consequence of their declining to sign . the document, was held at the Shaftesbury hall, Aldersgate-street, Mr. C. Murray in the chair. Mr. POTTER explained the circumstances under which tne Conference had abandoned the strike at Messrs. Trollope's, and hoped that as that obstacle had been removed, the other trades would support them in resisting the document. As the masters had in the first instance treated the Conference with hauteur, they did not communicate the with drawal of the strike to the central committee of master builders, but Mr. Wales, the secretary of that body, had written to the Conference to com plain of their silence ; that letter being considered a rocognition of the Conference by the masters, a correspondence was now pending between both for the settlement of the dispute. He hoped, should the masters adhere to the document, the other trades would support the Conference in resisting it. The delegate of the Compositors said that the withdrawal of the strike was all his society re quired, and that if the masters did not, in return fir that concession, retire from the document, the Conference would still receive the support of the body he represented. The delegate of the Amalgamated Engineers, in announcing that he had paid into the Conference £l,OOO, voted by his society, explained that the vote had been made without any condition, either in reference to the strike or to unskilled labourers participating in the division. The subscriptions for the evening amounted to about £lBO.
