STAMPED sd. to certain puffs of wind, both shots flew wide of the target, and he fell back to a mere place among the GO best shots. In the end his disappointment was less bitter than he had imagined, because 47 points were made by two competitors in the afternoon, a total which he must have made centres to equal and bull's-eyes to beat. N orthamptonshire has every reason to feel satisfied with its position in the list. Not only are three of its representatives included in the roll of foremost shots, but of these one is Lord Spencer himself. He did not content himself, as he might have done, with his position, of Lord of the Manor and member of the Council of the National Rifle Association, to the duties of which office since the commencement of the meeting he has devoted unceasing attention, but as major of the Ist North ampton Regiment, he entered the lists with the rank and file of the Volunteers, and gained the fine score of 41 points, which entitles him to one of the badges of the Association, and in virtue of this to compete in the second stage of her Majesty's Prize. Some time before the conclusion of the firing it was announced that Mr. Ed ward Ross, of the London Scottish, the well known first winner of the Queen's Prize, had made the excellent score of 47 marks. He was tied, how ever, by Captain H. Ilolme, of the 18th Somerset ; but, by the plan adopted this year for deciding ties, namely, giving priority to the competitor making the best score at the longest range, Mr. Ross was declared the winner. The following analysis of the scores last year will, by comparison with the sub joined scores, enable the curious in rifle shooting to see how closely the best results in both years ap proximate. In 1864 the first thirty competitors were made up of three scores of 47, one of 46, four of 45, six of 44, twelve of 43, and four of 42. The second thirty consisted of 16 scores of 42 each, and 14 of 41 each. The remaining forty, to make the 100, who took prizes in connection with the first stage of the Queen's, was composed of 16 scores of 41 marks each, and 24 of 40 marks each. The competition for the £5O cup given by the Daily Telegraph developed some admirable shooting with the Government weapon and ammunition. Two competitors made 19 each, or only one mark less than the highest possible score—shooting that would be no disgrace to a small-bore. There were several 18's, and numerous 16's and 17's. The Volunteer Service Gazette Prize, at 800 yards, was intended originally to show what the Enfield would do at that range ; but improved ammunition has been allowed, and the shooting has been propor tionately improved. Mr. Bass's Prize for volunteers not hitherto successful at Wimbledon or at county meetings was very warmly contested, and the result showed that the want of suc cess of the competitors up to the present had ;not arisen from want of skill. Some excellent shooting was made in all the other competitions, as the sub joined list of official scores will show : FIRST STAGE, QUEEN'S. Private E.

SECRETARY.(prO tem.)—Walter A. Michael, Esq. Offices-60, Throadneedle-street. The International Financial Society are authorised to receive Subscriptions for the Share Capital .of this Com pany, which has been incorporated by Special Act of Par liament for the purpose of Utilising the Sewage of the Northern Area of the Metropolis, the Concession of which has been granted to Messrs. Napier and Hope. The Concession from the Metropolitan Board of Works to Messrs. Napier and Hope, as now .confirmed by Act of Parliament, is scheduled to the Act, and both may be in spected at the Offices of the Company. The Concession has been vested in the Company on con dition of the payment to Messrs. Napier and Hope, under the provisions of the Act, of £50,000 in fully paid-up shares of the Company and a small contingent per-centage of the net profits. The Concession recites that in the opinion of the Board the works proposed by Messrs. Napier and Hope aro cal culated to effect the three following objects, namely :- 1. To divert the Sewage from the Thames. 2. To render it innocuous by its application to growing crops. _ 3. To realise the great money value of the manure con tained in it. The first article confers upon Messrs. Napier and Hope "the absolute and exclusive right to and property in the sewage" for a period of 54 years from the passing of the Act, but makes the following provision in reference to the application of the net profits resulting from the scheme after the expiration of four years f r om the passing of the Act. Previous to the expiration of that period all the profit results to the Company. After deduction of the annual charge for "money bor rowed," and of the " working and establishraent expenses," the net profit shall be applied 1. In payment of interest at 5 per cent. per annum on the share capital. 2. In payment in equal moieties to the shareholders and the Metropolitan Board of the further profits up to 15 per cent. 3. In division of profits exceeding 15 per cent. and up to 25 per cent. between the shareholders and the 3fetropolitan Board, in the proportion of one-fourth to the former, and three-fourths to the latter. 4. After '25 per cent. tho division again to become equal. The object of these stipulations is, that while the Metro politan Board are virtually to receive half the profits, yet, that, in order to give a greater security, and therefore greater value to the shares, the shareholders are to have a preference to the extent of 5 per cent., which is made good to the Metropolitan Board between the points of 15 and 25 per cent., at which latter point each party receives 121 per cent., and the division is then continued equally. Thus, the share capital of the Company derives the advantage of the entire capital, approaching three millions sterling, ex pended by the Board on the north side of the Thames, for the collection of the Sewage at the point of its delivery to the Company. At the expiration of 34 years the Board have the right, on giving two years' notice, to require a revision by arbi tration of the above apportionment of profits. The Concession stipulates for the construction of a circu lar brick culvert, 9 feet 6 inches in diameter, shown by the red line on the accompanying map, and running from the Northern Outfall Sewer to the East Coast of Essex, and further, for the • reclamation of the tract of foreshore and sand, coloured pink on the map (about 7,000 acres),the in tention being to irrigate the lands in the district through which the culvert passes, and to utilise the surplus upon the reclaimed land. A contract has been entered into with Mr. Wm. Webster ((who has constructed more than one-third of the main drainage work of the metropolis, including the Crossness Outfall), for the construction of the work mentioned above, together with thenecessaiy pumping stations, for the sum of £1,853,448. To this must be added the amount to be paid to Messrs. Napier and Hope in shares, as before mentioned, the cost of land, engineering, Parliamentary, and legal ex penses, superintendence, and management, together with interest at 5 per cent, per annum on the capital during the construction of the culvert, es timated at a total of £ 546 , 552 ; in all £2,400,000. The Act authorises the Directors to raise the amount of £700,000 in debentures, but of this, as above shown, only £300,000 will in all probability be required. The Company have the right of taking, without any pay ment, during the first four years, as much of the sewage as they can utilise. From this source an immediate return may be obtained, so that the return upon capital during construction should be much in excess of the interest pro vided. iforipayment on tho 2d October next of the £lO per Cer tificate then due the Certificates of £lOO will be exchanged for,Registerecl Shares of £lO each. According to the calculations made the eventual revenue of the Company is estimated at about £720,000, and the working expenses and management at £50,000. Applications in the annexed form should be left with the Bankers, who will not, however, receive any applications unless accompanied by a deposit of £2 per certificate on the number of certificates applied for. In cases where no allotment is made the deposit will be returned in full, and should a smaller number than is applied for be alloted the balance returnable to the applicant will be applied towards payment of the amount duo on allotment. In cases where an allotment is male the deposit paid on application will be liable to forfeiture if the balance due on allotment be not paid within the term fixed by the letter of allotment, and the allotmpt will be liable to cancellation. Default by sub scribers in due payment of the £lO per scrip certificate, pay able on 2d October, 1865, will, in like manner, render the scrip certificates subject to cancell a ti on, and the amount theretofore paid thereon to forfeiture. Prospectus and Forms of Applications may be obtained from the Bankers and Brokers, and at the Offices of the Company, No. 00, Threadneedle-street, E.C., London.

A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in the " idedical Circular," with the signature of "Detector," has been republished in the form of a sho. t pamphlet. The reader of " Punch" should read this pamphlet also. He has often read, in the pages of "Punch," of certain Quacks, frau dulent and noisome, who obtain money by faire pretences. and more money by menaces and extorti on , fawn green young men. For their names, which " Punch" would not advertise, he has referred his readers to the lower corner of the advertising: columns of low newspapers, amongst which too many of Iffr." Punch's" contemporaries, especially in the country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub lish the iniormation that a nominal list of these miscreants. with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning them, needful to be known, will be found in the pamphlet above referred to, which is entitled " Revelations of Quacks an s Quackery," and is to be had at the " Medical Circular" Office, 20, King William-street, St. and, W. U. The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel rapacity, and the enormous gains of the obscene tribe of Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to the causation of suicide, are fully set forth in " Revelations of Quacks anti Qackery." And mark especially that, as aforesaid, the names of the Quacks ate published. The pamphlet in question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di rectory, by consulting which every young man may know where he may go if he wishes to get plundered and destroyed. Buy, therefore, reader, by all means buy " inevelations of Quacks and Quackery." Its contents will astonish and amuse you, while they invoke your indignation and disgust. Of course you do not want it on account of its warnings tor your own sake, but you doubtless do for that of the many simple tons with whom you must be acquainted, if your acquaint ance is large. " Who are tile Quacks that ' Punch' means I" Consider what it is to he able to answer this question of the young and inexperienced, and, foe charity's sake, if for no other, go and provide yourself with "Revelations of Quacks and Quackery,'' by Detector,—Punch, April 12.

About 12 o'clock his Royal Highness the Prince of Orange paid a visit to the Common, and, under the guidance of Lord Spencer, spent some hours in visiting the different points where competitions of chief interest were going forward. The contest possessing most attraction, for his Royal Highness as well as for the public, was apparently the novel one instituted by Mr. Horatio Ross. In this Lord Aberdeen and Mr. Peterkin were the principal rivals, and the dexterity and skill exhibited by both in complying with the rules of the match showed that to succeed in this peculiar struggle, designed many years ago by Mr. Ross to make successful deerstalkers of his sons, it is necessary to be "to the manner born." The marksmen are probably few in England who could load hastily, run 100 1 yards, creep, and throw themselves down, and then, with quickened respiration and bounding pulse, succeed in making a bull's-eye or centre, and who, even if they succeeded the first time, could repeat this process so rapidly as to crowd 11 shots and a score of 40 or 42 into the limit of five minutes. Yet this was done yesterday—not once or twice, but over and over again. Lord Aberdeen had evidently set his heart on carrying off the prize, and adopted a hard-working costume to favour his movements. Mr. Peterkin's main advantage consisted in a method of snatching up and disposing of the ramrod—a piece of sleight of-hand as perfect as that performed by any con juror. A large and fashionable attendance was drawn together at this point, including, in addition to those already named, Lord and Lady Ducie, the Count de Gendres, Lady Spencer, Lord Glent worth, &c. At the " Running-deer" range, close to that where Mr. Ross's pupils were taking such liberal exercise, the Prince of Orange distinguished himself by obtaining a couple of bull's-eyes. The result of the competition for the first stage of the Queen's Prize was looked forward to all day with strong and natural curiosity, regard being had to the fact that nineteen-twentieths of the competitors are released from attendance in camp as soon as the score is finally made up. The state of the atmos phere on Thursday threw out many whose chances of getting, at any rate, into the 60 had previously looked very hopeful; yesterday's fine weather, again, brought to the front others who stood almost on the brink of despair. Perhaps the greatest annoyance experienced was that of a Volunteer who had scored 41 points, and still had two shots in reserve. Ac cording to the information disclosed by the returns up that moment, if his shots found their way on to the target at all he was certain of the silver medal and 50 but, whether from neryoutwea or owing 11 7 2 Sergeant D.

Ash's Patent Piston Freezing Machine. Undoubtedly one of the greatest improvements in the method of producing dessert ices, &c., &c., is the Piston Freezing Machine and Wine Cooler, patented by Mr. Ash, and manufactured by Mr. Geo. Simpson, at 315, Oxford street. A few days ago we availed ourselves of the in vitation of Mr. Ash to inspect his machine and process of making ice, and, we candidly confess, a more interesting exhibition we never attended. Whether the fact that, with the thermometer standing at 80 in the shade, we were supplied with a delicious lemon ice in less than seven minutes from the piston machine had anything to do with the pleasing performance, we leave others to imagine. The new machine is exceedingly simple, and so easy is the process that the merest tyro can produce his own ice with but a few minutes' agitation of the piston, moulded and quite in condition for the table, and all in one process. The old mode of producing dessert ice, it must be con fessed, was a troublesome and oftentimes a vexing per formance, because, after all your labour, it frequently oc curred that you got your ice either lumpy, flaky, or snowy; but all this is entirely obviated,• and now, instead of being confined to the production of one sort of ice, it is an easy task to produce from one ma chine, and at one operation, two, or even four, distinct and different sorts. In order to produce results, when rough ice cannot easily be had, Mr. Ash has discovered a chemical freezing powder, which can be obtained in any quantity at a very cheap rate, and thus the resident at Calcutta or Madras can have his dessert ice, provided he possesses one, of Ash's machines, as readily as if he had the rough material at his command, because, the ingredients composing the freezing powder, viz., saltpetre, sal ammoniac, and com monsoda are indigenous to our Indian empire. The pro duction of artificial ice has hitherto been far from cleanly and altogether a laborious performance, but with the new machine, which can be easily carried from place to place in a small hamper, all objections aro surmounted, in proof of which, if it was required, the cook could produce his ice pudding on the dining table, and without one spot soiling the table cloth. We have said the process is easy; and by way of illustration we may mention that whilst we were at Mr. Simpson's establishment a lady came for the first time to inspect the machine, and in five minutes she produced a beautiful moulded piece of solid ice, much to her own amazement and that of the company by whom she was surrounded. The invention is an exceedingly clever ono, and doubtless it will entirely suporsode the antiquated pro cess now in use, because the Piston Freezing Machine is cheap, portable, and reliable. Court Life in Mexico. The Mexican correspondent of the New York Herald gives the following picture of the Court of the Emperor Maximilian : During the winter the Empress has given a number of splendid receptions, at which the wealth and elite of the capital assisted. These occur in the spacious suites of saloons in the palace fronting upon the plaza, of which the grand cathedral forms the western side. The apartment; opening into each other and extending several hundred feet, aro illuminated with chandeliers and richly furnished. On such occasions the throne-room is opened, and forms part of the brilliant scene. In this, besides several fine paintings of the Emperor and Empress, Napoleon 111., Eugenie, and others, is a full-length one of Washington, .decidedly the largest and most imposing of all. The orchestra, which is placed in the western apartment; is composed of Austrians, who certainly do justice to the occasion. The Empress enters the ball room by a private door, accompanied by her maids of honour, and passes leisurely down on the side of the hall, where the ladies are standing to receive her, pausing here and there to speak with those she particularly recognise; preceded by a dame d'honneur, who names in succession those ladies who are to be presented. The same formality is observed on the gentlemen's side where one of the chamberlains performs the ceremony of presentation. This being over the dancing begins. The Empress usually sails through one or two cotillions during the ball, which com mences about nine and closes at two or half an hour later. The dresses of the ladies(always in the last Parisian mode) are in many instances of exceeding richness, with a sur prising profusion of jewellery, particularly diamonds. The dress for gentlemen is black cut-away coat, black pants, vest at discretion, white gloves, white cravat, and pa tent leather boots or shoes. Military officers appear in full uniform. The blending of the rich regimentals, of Austrian; French, and Belgians, with the floating silks, and airy indescribables of the Mexican belles, produces e i peculiarly beautiful effect. The Empress is about 23 year* of age, Stately in form, and a graceful dancer. In an assem blage, of which I should think 200 were ladies, she was the tallest. Beyond some fabulous lace, and a necklace of splendid diamonds as large as hazelnuts, I took no notice of the dress, preferring to leave to some practised Jenkins the congenial task of a more particular description. Be-. tween the sots her Majesty and ladies of honour arise, 1 1 which is the signal for all to do the same, and another short mperor round of social little presentations w h f . ill eh o dsa) w rasas . d T o h h e is E exhibits on these occasions a cordial familiarity among those with whom he wishes to converse. Maximilian i speaksi his fluently six languages. He is particularly i p n l c e o a n s conversation on address, has the air of a student, and w kind and genial s ta i t le u , ra w l h o i r c c h u w lti i v n a s t f e e d r , hficmanansontisaanyy affable of manners. aao, a n d He looks k is s tall ev e and their Maje st i es ry and in c e o h m t n h m e nd E i m ng pe in re f r o . rm A , t is mi 36 d y ni e g a h rs t Emperor from f in ro c oi lud E in or g o e p x e: taste,lt O h a e d the r a o n a dtwsai supper d o e r a d hal l y w a i s tthi is tableueveryetbhey r th n plla p Ei d e corated tc e eam n e y thatwit h r efi most n e perfe ct ment in while ciFuriesnitceh t h cl e vu o r.nien a se r d e barno groans upgrohdt with the most superb silver ware and porcelain, bearing the Imperial arms. It is not easy to conceive greater richness, profusion, or refined taste than is here displayed. Their Majesties presently retire, when the affair relaxes a little from its state formality, and offi cers and civilians vie in their attentions to such ladies as have not followed the Imperial couple. Carlotta is decidedly and indisputably handsome. The eyes and forehead are full of intellect, and in conversation the face lights up with a smile that indicates a pure and kind heart. There is at times, however, a kind of hauteur in the expression, which, though it perfectly becomes the Empress, detracts a little from the winning sweetness which characterises the fine oTal face. Every feature evinces talent, intelligence, firmness, and, above all, ambition. The cousin of Queen Victoria, the daughter of the King of Bel gium, the granddaughter of Louis Philippe, the best blood of Europe courses in her vein; and having been brought up in the English Court, she fills her station with that grace, dignity, and sell-possession inseparable froa the August society r3he hay OM from cliildl29o. ~ 43 1y 19.
