The court was opened this day at 11 o'clock, but the only case on the list for that hour was for a proof of debt, which was, however, adjourned by consent. There were several gentlemen of the long robe in waiting, but up to 12 o'clock his Honour, who was the only Commissioner, did not take his seat. At 11 o'clock, a learned counsel said that there was a case to be brought before the Court, but it was a trader debtor summons, which ought not to be discussed publicly, and he must therefore ask that the case should be heard in the private room. A solicitor said he had no objection to any short delay, but he had an application to make, which he conceived could only be made before a Commissioner in open could, and he entertained strong doubts whether he could make it elsewhere. After waiting some time he retired. The ease of the trader debtor summons was settled in a private room by counsel and parties concerned as a kind of puseyite law. The door was open to see the performance, but no one allowed to be within earshot, lest they should understand. This system of exclusiveness is becoming intolerable, and many cases of public interest are either completely lost or the statements are too vague to rely upon. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) DAMAGES TO HIRED VEHICLES.-TUCKER V. ROSENTHALL This was an action to recover 165., damages sustained in consequence of injuries to various vehicles hired by defendant of plaintiff. Mr. Beard, for the plaintiff, stated that his client was accustomed to let out traps to wholesale houses, the hirers being responsible for all damages. On one occasion the horse fell down and broke a shaft, which cost 10s. 6d. re pairing. On another occasion the horse kicked in a panel, which cost 21s. The last item, 14 14s. 6d., arose in con sequence of defendant's having cut the panels of a trap for the purpose of putting on extra locks, and this necessitated new panels. Evidence was called in support of this statement, and :wo coachmakers said the repairs were necessary, and very Low in price. Defendant's traveller said the charges were very excessive. The first item should be 3s. 6d., the second 10s., and the last Be. In reference to tha locks, they were put on in conse quence of some person having stolen goods from the trap. To prove the overcharge of the repairs, a person who represented himself to be a jobbing coachmaker was called, and said the damage done was only ss. His Honour's only difficulty was in regard to the last item. The repairs had not been done. Mr. Beard—The repairs must be done. His Honour—You get a new trap for an old one. If I give a verdict for £4 14s. 6d., with costs, that will be enough. THE SAME V. HARVEY. This was an action to recover £1 18s. 6d. under the fol lowing circumstances : Mr:Theard, for the plaintiff, said the amount now sought was for estimating the cost of building a vehicle in a certain style, the pattern of which was sent to Queen -street to see. A drawing was made. Plaintiff was called and said he was sent to view a car riage in Queen-street, and was told to make a drawing of the same. Mr. Buchanan said he laboured under the disadvantage of the absence of his client, who only disputed the present claim because he thought it an imposition. His client denied that he ordered a drawing. He would ask for an adjournment. Mr. Beard said defendant had availed himself of the drawing, to go somewhere else for a vehicle. His itonoiir—Then, he should pay. The case will be adjourned. Costs to be costs in the cause. Some discussion ensued in reference to a witness, and his Honour said he would not be a party to getting up dis cussions for the benefit of the newspapers. TRB LAW OF READY-FURNISIIED LODOINGS.-WINTER V. EDMONDS. This was an action to recover £4 for four weeks' rent of a ready-furnished cottage, taken by defendant for the month. Mr. Buchanan—l admit, for the defendant, occupation ; but we only occupied eight or nine days. A portion of the house was in such a disgusting state that my client and his family were obliged to quit. Plaintiff—l deny it. His Honour—lt is not a legal defence. You recollect the great bag case overruled in a recent decision by the Court of Exchequer. Defendant must pay. Mr. Buchanan—Defendant will have his action for damages. Verdict for plaintiff. Mr. Townley, for plaintiff, applied for his costs, but as he had not given notice to the other side that plaintiff would appear by attorney (the amount being under £5), the costs were not allowed. THE BULL THEATRE ROYAL BURNT 1) 0 I V-11r, It is with great regret we report the destruction, by fire, of the Theatre Royal of this town—the prin cipal theatre of the York circuit, and one of the most compact and handsome theatres in the provinces. It appears that about seven o'clock yes terday morning Mr. Francis was on the stage of the theatre, and was alarmed by seeing a quantity of smoke, and almost immediately the private room of Mr. Pritchard, the lessee, situated on the east side of the stage, was observed in flames. He imme diately raised an alarm, and assistance was soon at hand. The police hose and fire-engines were quickly on the spot. In the meantime, however, the flames spread rapidly en all sides, and it was evident that it would be a most difficult matter to check their progress. Unfortunately some delay was at first experienced in procuring a sufficient quantity of water, and the flames continued to rage furiously, and rapidly burnt up the scenery and other stage effects ; and extending to the north part of the building, destroyed the boxes and galleries. In the end, notwithstanding that an ample supply of water was ultimately obtained, the roof fell, and the building was completely gutted, leaving little more than the walls standing. It may be men tioned that special efforts had been made for the production of a "spectacular drama," which neces sitated the augmentation both of the general ward robe and that of the performers who had to take part in its representation, and we regret to state that nearly the whole of those articles have been destroyed, which will be a serious loss both to the lessee and the members of the company. The only articles saved were a few which parties connected with the theatre were enabled to remove from the building. Considerable alarm was naturally felt for the safety of the property adjoining the thea tre, but fortunately the exertions which were used prevented the flames from extending beyond the building itself. The theatre is insured, but not the wardrobe, which, we believe, would be worth about £4OO. This is the second fire which has occurred at the Theatre Royal within a few weeks, but on the previous occasion it was con fined to the wardrobe, and only trifling damage was done. The Theatre Royal was erected in Humber-street, in 1809, by the son of the late Mr. Tate Wilkinson, was opened in May, 1810, and was considered one of the finest theatres out of London. The receipts for the first 60 nights amounted to £3,150. Since its erection many actors who have become eminent in th© profession have appeared on its boards. Latterly efforts have been made to dispose of it, but they were unsuc cessful, and it remained the property of the Wil - extent of about £B, OOO . kinson family. The building was insured to the A letter from Naples, in the Opinione, states that the whole Neapolitan frontier is lined with troops, and that Montecassini has been fortified with cannon.

NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION.—Mrs. Chad wick, the relict of the late Mr. James Chadwick, of Grosvenor-wharf, has presented to this institution £lOO. The late Mr. Chadwick took considerable interest in the welfare of this philanthropic and national society, and was a most liberal contributor to its funds. PIGEON SHOOTING—ENGLAND IT. AMERICA.-- The match between Mr. King, of Indiana, and Mr. Frere, of Hampshire, was commenced at Newmarket yesterday. Mr. Frere killed 39 birds out of the first 50, whilst the American representative scored 42 birds out of his 50. The match will be resumed this day at half-past nine. Although Mr. King is described as " the American," he is English bred and born. He has lived in the United States for only twelve years. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(TBIS :ILE) 13 0 W-STREET. HIGHWAY RODBERY.—Joser; a perry, a well-known thief, was brought up on re :aand, charged with garrotting and robbing a gentle /D.. ..1r named Hibdon of his watch and breast pin, worth.'cogether, about £3O. The proseci:or, in his evidence, stated that on the even ing of tkd robbery he went to the Ship public-house with the interAtiou of remaining there for an omnibus to pass , : no door. As he was waiting a female came up and er.itered into conversation with him, and he eventually " cre ,„,t e d ,, her. On leaving the bar the prisoner an . :t ano th er man followed him, and after strolling ab'Jut a short time with the womananother public-housew as entered, and as he was leaving that place he was seized round the throat by one man while the prisoner robbed hire r of his watch and breast pin. He became insertsible from the injuries he re • ceived, and was found by the police insensible on the foot way. The public b:, - Juse last entered was the Southampton Arms, Tottenham-court-road, the slang name for which is " The Beans," The woman did all she could to protect the prosecutor, and called loudly for the police, but before any assistance arrived both men succeeded in effecting their escape. Sergeant Lambert, of the detective force, said, from the description given of the persons committing the robbery, he apprehended the prisoner. Police-constable 165 E said, on the evening of the rob bery he saw the prisoner, in company with another man, standing at the corner of Warren-street, Tottenham-court road. He went up to them and told them as it was so late he could not allow them to stand talking in the street. One of the men walked away, but the prisoner, after pro ceeding a short diMtance, entered the Southampton Arms, in the neighbourhood of the Victoria Theatre, but he had not succeeded in capturing the other man. When he took the prisoner into custody he denied all knowledge of the robbery, and said it was a mistake ; but when ho was seen by the witness and prosecutor they at once identified him as one of the men with whom they had been drinking at " The Beans" public house. He was certain the prisoner was the man he spoke to near Warren-street on the night of the robbery. The prisoner was fully committed to Newgato for trial. STEALING A GOLD PIN.—A young girl named Lingard was charged with stealing a gold breast-pin, the property of Mr. Foster, the Secretary to the Society of Arts. The housekeeper stated that in consequence of half a sovereign being missed a day or two ago, she questioned the prisoner, who was her domestic servant, as to whether she had seen the money. The prisoner replied she had not ; but yesterday she commenced to spend some more money than usual, and this circumstance created a suspi cion. Her box was searched, in which the gold pin pro duced was found together with a quantity of postage stamps, a penknife, and two or three pawnbrokers' dupli cates; but, as the pin had only been found that morning, she was unable to say whether the duplicates referred to any property belonging to her. Mr. Foster said the pin produced was his property. He missed it a week or two ago, but in consequence of his losing it from his pocket nothing was said about it further than mentioning its loss. A day or two ago he missed half a sovereign from a letter, and he then told the housekeeper that search had better be made for the missing money. It was not, however, found ; but in looking for the money the housekeeper found the gold pin in the prisoner's box. The police-constable who took the prisoner into custody said the prisoner did not deny the robbery. She also said the postage stamps found in her box belonged to Mr. Foster, as she picked them up in his room. The prisoner was remanded in order to ascertain whether I they articles pawned were her own property. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. IMPUDENT ASSAULT ON A RESPECTABLE FEMALE. — Thomas Reid, a mechanic, was charged with the follow ing impudent assault on Mrs. Shury, the wife of Mr. Chas. Shury, of 16, St. Alban's-place, a licensed victualler, out of business. Mr. Shury said that about ten the previous night he left his wife, who was attired in mourning, at the corner of Charles-street, Oxford-street, for a minute, and on his re turn he found the prisoner behaving is a very rude manner towards his wife, pushing up against her in a very indecent manner. He pushed the prisoner away, and asked hi= what he meant by such unmanly conduct, when hos pulled off his coat and said he would "knock his (com plainant's) - head off." He continued his threats, and seeing a constable he gave him into custody. His wife was so unwell that she was unable to attend the court in consequence of prisoner's conduct. The constable said the man admitted knocking against the lady, but said he took her for a prostitute. _ The prisoner said he had been drinking and in trying to avoid the female ho knocked against her, and might have put his hand on her shoulder. He had no intention to in sult the female. Mr. Bingham said he felt very certain that the accused had molested the lady, especially after hs had admitted that he thought she was a prostitute. He would advise him to make a more discreet selection, and not take a decent female for a prostitute. He had better leave decent females alone. The prisoner, who is a brass finisher, of 2, Bond-street, Golden-square, was then fined £3. THAMES. DAMAGING A RAILWAY WALL.—Edward Perryman, a boy about 13 years of age, was brought before Mr. Yardley charged with damaging a wall alongside the Eastern Coun ties Railway, at Bromley. William Burgess, a watchman in the employ of the rail way company, said ho saw the prisoner come over a wall into a field, and ho then pushed the bricks out of the wall. Mr. Yardley—Pushed off' the wall, I suppose ? Witness—Yes, sir ; he did. Mr. Yardley—The wall must be very badly cemented for a boy like that to push them off the wall. Witness—The bricks are laid in mortar. The wall was put up 12 months ago. Mr. Yardley—Then the sooner it is pulled clown and re built the better. It must be in a very rotten condition. Witness—Smaller boys than the prisoner, shove the bricks out of the wall. Mr. Yardley—Do they ? I hope your railway is in a better condition than the wall. If it is not I should not like to travel upon it. The prisoner, in his defence, said that h• saw some loose bricks on the top of the wall and pushed them off. Mr. Yardley—You had better keep away from the wall. The mother of the boy said the railway company's wall was in a very bad condition, indeed. Mr. Yardley—l think it must be. Take your boy home and keep him from the wall in future. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. To-day's market was very' cantily supplied with Eng lish wheat coastwise and by land carriage. The attend. once of both town and country millers was only moderate, yet the demand riled steady, and Monday's prices were well supported. Although over 18,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come fresh to hand, good and fino samples moved off steadily at full quotations, Inferior and damp parcels were neglected. We had a good consumptive demand for barley, at fully previous rates. The malt trade was very inactive ; nevertheless prices were supported. Good sound oats realised previous quotations ; but other descriptions were a slow inquiry, and rather cheaper. Both beans and peas were dull ; but the flour trade was in a healthy state. Floating cargoes of grain were firm in price. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK Wheat. Barley Malt. Oats Flour.

Our columns yesterday contained a report of a meeting of d e l ega t es f rom var i ous metropol i tan vestries to conside r th e supp l y o f gas to the metro polis. If the gentlemen who have taken this matter in hard can put the relation of the Gas Companies to he consumers upon anything like a proper foot ing, they will deserve the thanks of thousands of householders and confer a benefit upon every mem ber of this metropolitan community. It is coin pated that in one:way or other London pays nearly £2,000,000 a year for about 7,000,000 cubic feet of gas, obtained by the distillation of 840,000 tons of coals. Thus it is not a petty interest which is now in question. In a dense civic populhtion gas may be reckoned among the necessaries of life. Within doors it is one of the most convenient sources of light and warmth, and for our thoroughfares by night it is an indispensable element of comfort and security. At present., however, we d o no t ma k e o f it half the use we might if it were accessible, pure, and ab un d ant. I t i s often too foul to be admitted into the best rooms of the house, and so dear that the number of public lamps is decreasing in some of our best streets. Th e p o p u l a ti on and extent of the metropolis cannot i ncrease w i thout necessitating an increase in the quantity of gas annually made in London , but owing to various causes , th e con sumption of the arti c l e i s st i ll disproportioned to the capacity of the public. In the case of most saleable commod i t i es, we may safely rely on competition to beat d own a l l k i nds of factious checks to extortion. Difficulties which to the manufacturer or merchant seem insuperable, are speedily surmounted in presence of a rival. Eco nomy is studied, improvements are m a d e , pr i ce is reduced, quality raised, until finally the fair re ward of the producer or vendor is ascertained. F or a long time this principle was relied on in London, as elsewhere, to provide good and cheap gas. The Chartered Gas Company, the first of the Metropo litan companies which obtained an Act of Parlia ment, was incorporated in 1810 to light the cities of London and Westminster, and the borough of Southwark; and the City of London Company, the next to be incorporated, obtained powers to light exactly the same districts. So of other new com panies, although formed in some cases to meet the wants of new districts, they obtained Parliamentary power to light streets and houses which had been previously assigned to former bodies. This compe tition has not been without fruit. The price of gas has been steadily lowered in London. In 1831 the Imperial Gas Company was charging 13s. 6d. ; iii 1833, 12s. ; in 1835, 10s. ; in 1836, 95.; in 1844, 7s. ; and now it is charging 4s. 6d. per 1,000 feet. But the direct competition of Gas Companies in the same district is certain speedily to attain its limit and thenceforward to di minish until its principle is altogether super seded by that of a community of interests. The institution of a new Company to correct the abuses of the old one is a remedy which cannot be often applied. Even if the probable demand is such as to justify the outlay involved in an additional set of mains and new works, the streets cannot receive an indefinite number of pipes. The practical limit is soon reached, an d th en , if no t b e f ore, coal i t i on be gins. The London and the Equitable Companies, each of which was founded as a competitor of the Chartered Ga s C ompany to supply the -West-end parishes, were seekin g to amalgamate in 1850, and endeavourin g to obtain an Act which would have put an end to comp e ti t i on i n their common district. Ajoint-stock company, the Western Gas Light Company, was permitted, as a co m p et i tor w i t h those monopolists, to lay do wn i ts p i pes, although it had no parliamentary powers. Last year even this Com pany appeared as the leader o f a Brand combined movement, with the object of establishing a more comprehensive monopoly than th e metropolis had before seen. In 1849 the discontent against the two Companies which supplied . Southwark was so great that, as the result of a public movement, the Surrey Gas Consumers' Company was formed, and the price of gas was reduced fiom 6s. to 4s. per 1,000 feet. Two years afterwards the new Company and the old came to an arrangement, not only put an end to competition, but divided the district between them, each agreeing not to supply gas to the cust omers o f the other, of course raising the price of the article. In 1857 the various Gas Companies appear to have considered that the time had come when merely partial combination should be superseded by a general arrangement in the interest of the pro prietors of Gas shares. Negotiations took place between the various companies on the north side of the river for a reappropriation of districts, of which the withdrawal of certain companies where compe tition had existed was to be one of the results. They were conducted to a successful termination, and the consequences soon became apparent to the public. Companies refused to tender for public lighting of districts in which they had formerly been competitors, and the vestries were left to make such terms as they could with those to whom the monopoly had been abandoned. Higher terms were demanded for lighting street lamps. Private consumers were required to submit to new and arbi trary terms of supply, or to have their gas cut off. By new regulations respecting meters, deposits of money security for payment, payment of arrears due by former tenants, and other vexatious and unbusi ness like conditions, the householder was made to feel that he was no longer a free purchaser of gas in the market, but the helpless victim of a powerful and irresponsible association. It is too late, even if it were worth while, to com plain that the old guarantee of fair treatment for the gas consumertis .gone. Competition, which left the gas companies in the position of tradesmen striving who should win most custom by producing the best article was a good thing while it was possi ble ; but it has disappeared, and cannot in this case be restored, at least not in its old form. Were the arrangements for supplying London with gas to make anew, it might be wise to consider the plan of competition for the field which Mr. Edwin Chadwick has recommended as applicable to all cases where competition in the field is undesirable or im practicable. The plant required for distributing the gas might be the property of the public, and the privilege of supplying gas might be entrusted to contractors, under proper guarantees, for terms not too long to exempt them from responsibility to the representatives of the public. The practical question, however, now i s h ow to provide those securities for the consumers' interest which compe tition has heretofore more or less supplied. The delegates of the metropolitan vestries have under taken to answer it. They say truly,in the words of Mr. Beal, " The existing Gas Companies having obtained their Acts of Parliament on the distinct basis of competition, and having, without the sanc tion of Parliament, by a mere private . compact amongst themselves, removed the competing basis and divided the metropolis into districts, the light ing of which is confided to one company, we must now demand the enactment of such restrictions against the abuse of the power as Parliament in serts in all provincial acts establishing a monopoly to light a district, and such as it certainly would have imposed could this newly created monopoly have been foreseen." It is impossible to deny the reasonableness of this requirement. What those restrictions should be we must further examine.— Daily News. THE POPE'S ALLOCUTION. The following is the text of the allocution of the Pope delivered at the Consistory of the 26th ult. : In June, my dear Brethren, with heart full of grief, We cursed, you remember, each infidel thief Who was trying to grab at Ravenna, Bologna, And other domains of which we are the owner. We told the assassins they'd made a great mull, for Their Present was sin, and their Future was sulphur. This kindly remonstrance we hoped would succeed, For they knew that we loved them most dearly , indeed, And 'twas only in love, if we shortened their lives, And sent Switzers to finish their babies and wives ; and ega t p i o a n ti s e . n e, o mocked b a os e t demonsour gen h t gentleness, s p s r , gged a A B n u d t they w y They turn out our spies, and they empty our goals, (And of tortures therein tell indelicate tales,) Our mendicant monks they revile and abuse, And brutally bid them to wash and wear shoes ; And the Odour of Sanctity, martyrdom's wealth, They say is a case for their vile Board of Health. They publish most blasphemous books, too ; in one They dare to assert the earth goes round the sun ; And as for our miracles, think how they hate 'em When they say Januarius's blood is pomatum, Consign 'Weeping Pictures to brokers or cupboard, And swear that no statue of saint over blubbered. The wretches, the monsters I But, brethren, we find Much comfort in bearing this fact in our mind, The parties who've ki c k e d us from out:each Legation — Are only the folk s w h o h ave had education : The low, and the dull, and the poor, and the mean, Are as fond of their Pope as they over have been. And, now, my dear brethren, if cursing would do, We'd blaze at the beggars till all things were blue : But the ears of th e wic k e d, t o verbal attacks Are judicially bunged up with infidel wax, And the grim Garibaldi would prove contumacious, Though rose up to curse him the blest Athanasius. However, one final appeal to the world, One curse on the flag by our subjects unfurled. Wo declare the Legations our own, and non detur To mortal to alter the will 'of Saint Peter ,• And we hereby denounce to the world, and all time, Each Romagnese act as a horrible crime. Let the infidels, heretics, traitors, and knaves Have no peace in their lives and no rest in their graves • The dungeon and sc iffold, the steel, or the rope, Shall teach them to wrong their affectionate Pope; Fire, famine, and slaughter consume them away, Till Beelzebub collars the last. Let us pray.—Punch. SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY, EXETER-HALL.— The first meeting of the 28th season will he held in the large hall this (Friday) evening at half-past 7 for 8 o'clock. VOLUNTEER CORPS. LONDON. At a meeting of the Council held at the Mansion.. house, the Lord Mayor in the chair, The LORD MAYOR announced that a list of mu nificent donations had been received, and among others from Lord Brougham, the Worshipful Com pany of Carpenters, the Secondary of London, and others, His lordship stated he had just received 20 guineas from Mr. Benjamin Bond Cabbell, a mem ber of the council. The Lord Mayor read a letter from Mr. Alderman Rose, vice-president of the council, announcing that his proposal to the London and Brighton Railway Comp3ny had been agreed to—namely, " To convey the members of this bri gade to and from the Crystal Palace, charging them 6d. first class, or 4d. second class for the double journey ; these tickets being only avail able for members of the corps when in uniform." Alderman Rose further stated that he had received £lO 10s. from Mr. W. May, and also the promise of £lO 10s. from Messrs. Jackson and Co., and £lO 10s. from Mr. W. F. Moore. On the motion of Sir F. Doi LE, seconded by Mr. SORES, M.P., the thanks of the meeting were pre sented to the Brighton Railway Company for their liberal arrangement, and also to Mr. Alderman Rose for his energetic exertions. The council proceeded to examine the various applications received for the office of adjutant. The testimonials were read. On the motion of the Lcrd Mayor elect, seconded by Mr. KENNAP,D, ALP., Capt. C. F. Mackenzie was unanimously elected to that office. The LORD MAYOR stated the various arrange ments were nearly completed, and that the drill would take place at Guildhall as soon as it could be in readiness after.the forthcoming banquet. Mr. W. GARDNER addressed the council on the plans and estimates for the butts, &c., and a meet ing was ordered to be called to consider that and other subjects on Friday next. On the motion of the LORD MAYOR elect, seconded by Sir F. DOYLE, the thanks of the meeting were presented to the Lord Mayor for his courteous con duct in the chair. BRENTWOOD: The services of the company formed here have been officially aseepted. The corps is numbered " fourth" iu the county of Essex. CAN I'ERBURY. At a public meeting, convened by the Mayor at the request of a committee appointed at a previous meeting, held at the Guildhall, Canterbury, the committee in their report, which was read to the meeting, recommended that one or more rifle corps should be immediately formed in Canterbury, and subscriptions i nv i te d f or the purpose ; a subscrip tion of £ lO to con s tit u t e a lif e member, who will be at liberty to wear the uniform of the corps, and to have access to the practice ground. The effec tive members to be of three classes Those pro viding uniform and accoutrements ; 2. Those pro viding uniform only; and 3. Those providing nothing. Each class will wear uniform of the same material, which, by order of the Lord-Lieute nant, will be gray with scarlet facings. It was also recommended that a committee be appointed at the meeting, to remain in operation till Nov. 2, and on that day a meeting to be convened of subscribers of £5 and upwards to appoint a new committee of nine for general purposes, who will hate power to propose to the Lord-Lieutenant the names of gen tlemen for commissions. The report was unani mously adopted, and it was resolved that it be printed and circulated. A subscription list, and also a list of members were opened, the former headed by the Mayor of Canterbury with a dona tion of.£lo. It was stated that the cost of uniform and accoutrements will be under £B. COLCHESTER. The members of the Colchester Rifle Corps have commenced drill, under the instruction of Colour- Sergeant Brazier, late of the 97th Regiment, and now on the staff of the Royal Essex Rifle 111ilitia. The place of muster is the open space within the old castle, the use of which has been kindly granted to the corps by Mr. C. Gray Round, of Birch-hall. As soon as the corps has sufficiently advanced to begin rifle practice, Mr. Gurdon Rebow has pro mised to appropriate a part of his park at Wiven• hoc for that purpose. During the past few days several additions have been made, 'while the sub scription list shows augmented funds, including a donation of £2O from Mr. G. H. Errington. HI THE. At a public meeting held in the Town-hall for the formation of a volunteer artillery company and rifle corps, the Mayor presided, and from 70 to 100 persons were present. Among them we noticed Mr. Deedes, the member for East Kent, and Gen. Hay, the commander of the School of Musketry, and several gentlemen from the neighbourhood as well as from the town. Several previous meetings had been hell, and it was now resolved that a volunteer artillery company and rifle corps for the town and neighbourhood should be established, and that as soon as 20 mem bers should be enrolled in the artillery company and 30 in the rifle corps their services should be tendered through the Lord Warden to her Majesty. The rules (which h a d already been prepared by a committee) were read by the hon. secretary, Mr. Wilks, and determined upon, and nearly two-thirds of the required numbers enrolled themselves at the meeting. A subscription list was headed by Mr. Deedes with £25, and soon amounted to £73. The uniform (which we understood will be alike threughout the Cinque Ports) is to be a gray faced with red, with a slight difference in the appoint. meats for the company and corps. SOUTH MIDDLESEX. At a meeting of the committee of the South Mid dlesex Rifles, Beaufort-house,:Walbam-green, Vis count Ranelagh in the chair, it was announced that 150 rifles had arrived for the use of the corps. As a considerable outlay must be made for erecting the butt it was decided that the public should be called upon, especially the west end of London, to support the corps by their subscriptions and dona tions. Arrangements have been made to drill at Ma son's Riding School, Brompton, for the winter months, meanwhile the house at Walham-green will be put in repair, and conveniences for a club be made. The corps meet for drill on Tuesdays and Thursdays at five o'clock, and Saturday at half-past four. Gentlemen desirous of enrolling or becoming honorary members may do so daily. There is a resident drill sergeant besides a sergeant from the 3d Middlesex Militia daily in attendance. A military gentleman is at present hon. secretary and acting adjutant. Viscount Ranelagh will be the commandant of the corps. His lordship has seen considerable service, especially with the rifle. SHERBORNE. The committee appointed for the purpose of pro• moting theformation of a riffe corps in this neigh bourhood have reported to a meeting at the Town hall, that the feeling is very strong in favour of the movement, and that subscriptions have already been promised to the extent of £ll5. The announcement was received with loud cheering, and the enrolment was immediately commenced, and is now in progress. TYNEMOUTH. Dr. %V. L. Emmerson has been appointed surgeon of the Tynemouth Artillery Volunteers, and Dr. Bourne surgeon to the rifle corps. The artillery corps is now in a most efficient state, and we understand their first practice with shot and shell will take place at Tynemouth on Friday afternoon. WARRINGTON. Some months ago a public meeting, presided over by the Mayor, was held in this sluggish town, and it was resolved that a rifle corps should be estab lished. The movement was warmly supported by Colonel Wilson Patten, M.P., and by Mr. Greensll, M.P. for the borough, as well as by the local gentry ; but it was looked upon with disfavour by certain political parties here, who " are wiser in their own eyes than 10 men who can render a reason " and they h ave d one the i r best to obstruct and ridi cule the project ; but it has triumphed, and the corps now numbers 50 members, who have met for drill twice a week for some time past, and who are to make their first public appearance in uniform on Saturday next. They have obtained an excellent practice-ground and ample funds, and, before long, it will be an object of eager ambition to be enrolled among them, in spite of the "cold shade" of the " little brief authority" which has been arrayed against them. WELLINGTON. The ground selected by this corps has been in spected by Lieut. Franklin, of the 45th Regiment, sent down from Preston for the purpose, and ap proved by that officer. This corps now musters nearly 40 men, and as soon as the consent of the War-office has been given foe its formation drill and practice will commence, when the ranks will speedily increase, under the management of Mr. T. C. Eyton, of Eyton-hall, near Wellington. The clothing has been decided upon.
