Mr. Justice Wales presided this morning, and charged the grand jury upon a calendar which is very light. There are 14 prisoners from the eastern and six from the western division of the county, but only 13 cases. Two cases of manslaughter have already been disposed of, and the Assizes will terminate to-morrow. Charles Edwards, a very young looking boy of 15, pleaded guilty to committing a burglary in the house of one Fuller a shopkeeper at Brighton, about 5 o'clock in the morning of the 10th of August, and stealing Is. 81d. Mr. Justice Willes, in passing sentence, said that if lie consulted his feelings ho should be inclined to discharge the prisoner, taking into consideration the number of months he had already passed in prison ; but the crime he had com mitted deserved severer punishment, and it would be for the prisoner's own advantage that he should undergo a term of imprisonment where he would have the benefit of instruc tion, and would not be allowed to associate with older offenders. The sentence of the Court was six calendar months' imprisonment, with hard labour, in the House of Correction. Alfred Lord, aged 21, was charged with feloniously wounding, with intent to do grievous bodily harm, a maa named Stephen Lillywhite. Mr. Roupell prosecuted, and Mr. E. C. Willoughby de fended. It appeared that on the 3d of September the prisoner was at a publichouse with a number of friends. Without any provocation, and quite suddenly, he got up, rushed at one Thomas Beattie, and tried to throw him down. Others in terfered, and held him down in the road, and during the struggle, he rushed at and wounded with a knife the pro secutor, who was his most intimate friend. All the witnesses called for the prosecution admitted the prisoner to be a man of the most inoffensive, quiet, and peaceable character ; bukit appeared that he had been sub ject to fits from the age of eight year; when he met with some injury from a gun which was fired at him. Mr. Roupell, at the suggestion of tho learned judge, withdrew the charge of feloniously wounding, and' ad dressed the jury only in support of the minor charge of unlawfully wounding. Mr. Justice Willes directed the jury that if they believed the account given by Lillywhito, upon which no suspicion had been cast, they were bound to find the prisoner guilty of the minor offence. The jury accordingly returned a verdict of Guilty, and the Court passed a sentence of three months' imprison ment with hard labour. Thomas Lindfield Avory, aged 13, was charged with‘the manslaughter of his brother, John William Avory, aged 23. The prisoner was a butcher, and assisted his brother in the same trade at Wivelsfield, Sussex. Mr. Grantham prosecuted ; Mr. Besley defended. The deceased had on the morning of the 14h, before leaving home, directed the prisoner to dress the carcase of a sheep. On returning home in the evening he found his order not complied with, and upon blaming his brother, After evidence of the death of John William Avory, the depositions of the deceased, taken on the 18th of August, the day of his death, were put in, and were in effect as follows :—" The prisoner is my brother. Last night, about 8 o'clock, we were both in the slaughter-house. I com plained of his not having dressed a sheep, and words took place between us. I gave him a push across the slaughter house, and then he hit me with his fist. I hit him back, and then he pulled out his pocket knife, and stabbed me in my right side. I did not see him open the knife or see it until after I felt I was stabbed. He stabbed me four times in my side and cut me on my ear, but this was during the wrestle. I believe I closed and wrestled with him 'as soon as he had stabbed me first. My wife came into the slaugh ter-house and saw us wrestling, but we continued wrestling until we got into the kitchen, when she separated us. My brother had been drinking. We had been on good terms before. When I hit him back, I hit him as hard as 1 could. He got into a passion when I pushed him, and he was in a passion when he stabbed me, and all the time of the quarrel. If I had not pushed my brother I don't believe he would have stabbed or struck me. I know the wounds are serious, but I have no belief that I am dying." Mr. Grantham then tendered the depositions of Mary Avory, the widow of the deceased, and called James Akhurst, police-constable, to show that she was in an unfit state to travel. He proved that ho had seen Mrs. Avory last night, that she had been recently confined, and that he believed she was unable to travel. Mr. Besley objected, and The learned Judge ruled the police-constable's evidence insufficient to let in the depositions. Mr. Grantham then called the father of the deceased and of the prisoner to prove his daughter-in-law's inability to travel.. He said she had been recently confined, and he believed she was unable to come. Cross-examined by Mr. Besley—The prisoner told me he inflicted the wounds in peril of his own life. Mr. Justice Willes—lf you continue to object on behalf of the prisoner to the admission of the depositions, which clearly ought to be in, I shall be bound to apply the same strict rules to your own cross-examination. Mr. Besley—l withdraw all objections. Cross-examination continued—l produce the shirt worn by the prisoner. The neck and shoulders were saturated with blood. The prisoner had several severe wounds, one au inch long on the scalp. The prisoner said the deceased knocked . him down and knelt upon his breast, and that he inflicted the wounds because he was in peril of his life. The depositions of Mary Avery, the widow of deceased, were then read. She said that she went into the slaughter house and found her husband and the prisoner wrestling. Her husband had thrown him down and was holding him down. She saw the knife in Thomas's hand. They both went into the kitchen. The deceased told her Thomas had stabbed him. The deceased then turned round and threw the prisoner down again. Richard Gravely—l am a surgeon, practising at Newick. I attended the deceased and made a post marten?, examina tion. The deceased had five wounds, all ou the right side, which produced the inflammation of the bowels from which he died. Cross-examined—l saw a wound upon the prisoner's hand, and a contusion on the scalp. The wounds on de ceased might have been inflicted involuntary in the course of a struggle with a man who had an open knife in his hand. The knife produced might be used for dressing sheep. Re-examined—lt is not a knife ordinarily used for such purposes. I cannot say how the wounds were inflicted. Mr. Justice Willes—l have heard a medical witness answer that, as action and reaction are equal and opposite a wound inflicted by a knife being pushed into a man might arise from a man's pushing himself against a knife. That is the true answer to all such questions. James Akhurst produced the trousers worn by deceased, and they were cut in five places. Mr. Grantham having summed up, _ _ Mr. Bosley addressed the jury for the defence, and urged strongly that it was probable the prisoner had the knife in his hand when the struggle commenced, and that the wounds were unintentionally inflicted during the struggle. The jury, after a short deliberation, found the prisoner guilty. The father of deceased's widow recommended the pri soner to mercy. The 12arned Judge, addressing the prisoner, said hte,liad been convicted upon evidence which it was impossible to resist of the crime of having taken away his brother's life by stabbing him with a knife. He agreed with his learned counsel that ho could not have been convicted of murder, but that was entirely due to the fact that his brother had used some violence towards him before heresisted and used a deadly weapon. Manslaughter committed with a knife called for the most serious notice of the Court, and it was incumbent on the Court to be very careful that anything done in mercy should not be misunderstood. There could be no palliation, but there might be circumstances to guide the Court in inflicting punishment. There was his youth. In the nest place there was the provocation which he had received, and, further, the recommendation to mercy from such a quarter. Those circumstances might justify him in refraining from passing a &mitotic° of penal servitude, but he must suffer a -substantial term of imprisonment. The sentence of the Court would.be that he be imprisoned and kept at hard labour for 18 calendar months. VOLUNTEER INTELLIGENCE, METROPOLITAN VOLUNTEER RIFLE MATCH FOR THE MIDDLESEX CHALLENGE CUP. During the past few days (since Monday last) the most important rifle match in connexion with the metropolitan volunteers which has been held since the annual prize meeting of the National Rifle As sociation has been shot off, by permission of Lieut.- Col. Lord Elcho, M.P., and Lieut.-Col. Viscount Bury, M. P., at the butts of the London Scottish and Civil Service Rifles, at Wimbledon. The match, which was among no less than 12 of the best shooting regiments in and around the me tropolis, was for the honour of holding the beautiful challenge prize, value £5O, presented for competition among the volunteers of the county of Middlesex by the County Shooting Committee ; and it is satis factory to state that the efforts thus made to extend by important contests the practice of the rifle have been crowned with success, as is evidenced by the fact that nearly 120 volunteers went down to Wim bledon and entered for the prize. The conditions of the contest were that 10 effi cient volunteers from each battalion having its head quarters in the county of Middlesex, including the City of London and Tower Hamlets, should com pete at 200, 500, and 600 yards, with seven shots, for the prize; from the shoulder at 200 yards, and from the knee at 500 and 600 ; no sighting shots. The remaining conditions were as follow : " Riflos, targets, and scoring, &c., the same as for the Queen's Prize at the previous Wimbledon meeting. " Entrance fee, £2 from each battalion for each compe- tition. " The competitions to be divided into two stages, and only so many battalions to shoot on each day in the first stage as there are complete sets of targets. Each winning battalion on each day in first stage to receive 10 per cent. of entrance fees, and each winning battalion in first stage to shoot in second stage under same conditions. " The winning battalion in second stage to hold the cup, no additional money prize boing given, until one week before the next contest, when it shall be handed over to the silver smith. The commanding officer of the battali on holding the cup to be responsible for its safety. " The names of the winning squad to be engraved on the cup. "No two competitors allowed to use the same rifle." Monday was the first day appointed for the match, and shortly after 9 o'clock the marksmen from the following regiments, who were all under the com mand of Captain Henderson, of the 46th Middlesex (London and Westminster) Rifles, arrived on the ground :-Ist Middlesex (Victorias), 2d Battalion 22d Middlesex (Queen's Westminster), 2d or South Middlesex Rifles, 9th or West Middlesex Rifles, and 21st Middlesex (Civil Service) Rifles. The shooting, which throughout was of the most spirited character, was then commenced at the '2OO yards range; and afterwards at 500 and 600 yards, and at the close of this, the first day's competition, the score stood thus : Score. 2d Battalion 22d Middlesex, Queen's (Westiiiin riter) Rifles 502 Average 50.2 2d South Middl esex 485 1 2 1st Middlesex (Civil Service) 43 14 let Middlesex (Victories) The West Middlesex and the St. George's retired from the contest at 600 yards range, assigning as their reason for doing so that they could not see the mark, thus leaving the Queen's at the head of the list. The shooting was resumed on - Wednesday morning at a comparatively early hour, and the following regiments entered the list. Hon, Artillery Corapany, 19th Middlesex (Work- The competition thus rested between the Queen's and the London Scottish, and yesterday was the clay appointed for its decision, but in consequence of the protest of the St. George's and West Middlesex, the shooting between these two regiments has been postponed pending the decision of the Council of the National Rifle Association. LORD TRURO'S VOLUNTEER BRIGADE. The annual distribution of prizes to the successful competitors last season at Plumsteacl and Staines in Lord Truro's volunteer brigade, which consist of the Ist Middlesex Light Horse, 3d Middlesex Artil lery, and the 4th Middlesex (West London) Rifl es , took place last evening in Westminster-hall, and passed off with even a greater amount of ficiat paid enthusiasm than usually attends exhibitions of a similarly pleasing character. There was a verylarge muster of the members of the 3d Middlesex and West London Rifles under arms, and a. goodly attend dance of the friends and patrons of the brigade, in cluding a considerable number of the fair sex. The hall, which was brilliantly lighted up, presented a very gay appearance. At the northern end, on the dais leading to the statue corridor, were seated the ladies of Lord Truro and other cfficers, and on two tables in the front were displayed a formidable array of prizes, nearly all of silver, comprising cups, salvers, challenge vases, Enfield rifles, meerschaum pipes, field-glasses, and articles for the table. Alto gether the scene was one of great excitement. Five bands were in attendance, playing with admirable effect a selection of marches and overtures. Lord Truro, accompanied by Col. Erskine, en tered the hall about half-past 8 o'clock, and was received with full military honours. He briefly addressed the brigade, expressing his unqualified gratification at finding so large an assemblage on such an interesting occasion. He regarded that fact as an evidence that the brigade had discharged their duty to the satisfaction of those who knew them best, and that it had created somewhat of interest among the public at large. Ile wished that it were possible for other countries to witness the array called together at the giving of prizes to volunteer corps in this kingdom, for it would satisfy them not only of the wisdom of the volunteer .movement as a means of defence, but that that movement bad taken deep hold on . the affections of the country. He congratulated the assemblage on the progress which had been made by the volunteer movement since its commencement, while he regretted that the meeting took place at a time of the year when the Middlesex Light Horse were engaged in hunting, or other country pursuits ; and the same reason must account for the absence of the volunteer cavalry. With the 3d Middlesex Artillery he was highly pleased. It had largely increased in the course of the year, and he thanked them for their good atten dance and the industry they had exhibited this year both at drill and gun practice. The 4th Middlesex had also shown not only a great increase in numbers but marked efficiency, and he thought be was fully justified in saying that they would bear comparison with all other corps in drill or rifle practice. With these observations he should proceed to the imme diate business of the evening. Previously to distributing the valuable series of prizes, which amounted to upwards of £5OO, Sur geon-Major Rice, in the absence of Captain J. H. Johns, on behalf of the officers and members of the 3d Middlesex Artillery, presented Lieut.-Colonel the Right Hon. Lord Truro with a very beautiful sword, in silver scabbard, and Major J. F. Woodall, President of the Regimental Shooting Committee of the West London Rifles, offered for his lordship's acceptance on behalf of the regiment, a handsomely illuminated album, exquisitely bound in carved oak, containing an address to the following effect, signed by between three and four hundred members of the corps : " We, the officers, non-commissioned officers, and pri vates of the West London Rifle Volunteers, availing our selves of the opportunity of the prize distribution, desire to offer the expression of our sincere respect and esteem to your lordship as our commanding officer, and our high ap preciation of your liberality, courtesy, and constant effort for the advancement of the interests of the corps, which has been raised to its present high position by your lord ship's laborious and persevering exertions. We are per suaded there is not a commanding officer in the service who is more anxious for the prosperity of the corps under his command, or who endeavours so constantly to meet the wishes of all, whether officers or men, consistently with his duty, and we trust the unanimity and good feeling which consequently exist in the regiment are to your lord ship sources of gratification and pride." This album was greatly admired, and did in finite credit to the taste of the eminent illumina tor, Mr. Openheim, of Carey-street. Independent of its intrinsic merit as the gift of an efficient and well-disciplined regiment to an amiable and ener getic commanding officer, the actual cost of the volume was somewhat more than £5O. In the course of Major WOOD ALL'S brief address he mentioned the gratifying fact that 157 men of the corps had fired through the first, second, and third classes, and only 18 still remained in the third class. Lord Truro, in returning thanks to the artillery company, alluded to the singular privilege which had been conceded to him by the War-office of commanding no less than three volunteer corps. He had endeavoured to show his sense of such dis tinction by zeal and attention to the interests and efficiency of the several corps, and he found his reward in their present well-disciplined and satisfac tory condition. For the splendid sword presented by the 3d Middlesex Artillery his lordship said he felt deeply indebted, and he should hold it in re membrance of the many pleasant hours he had passed in endeavouring to contribute to the effi ciencyl Nearly o f the tw corps. hours were occupied i n t distribu tion of the prizes. To each successful I c e competitor Lord Truro addressed wor d s of general encourage ment and approval. Se vera l of the officers and men were greeted with he ar t y rounds of applause on pre senting themselve s , more especiailMajor Woodall, Ser g eant Bingham (l a t e of the 48th Regiment), and Colour-Sergeant Hayborne. Captain Bay, presi dAernttilloefry,e shooting committee of the 3d Middlesex was also presented, on behalf of his brother officers and men, with a testimonial in the shape of an album or " pictorial roll call," in re cognition of the services which he has so continu ously rendered to the corps. At the termination of the proceedings, Colonel ERSKINE, inspector of Volunteers, made a few complimentary observations, making special allusion to the good feeling which existed between the artillery and infantry corps in the brigade. BREAKFAST BEV ER AG E. —Homceopathic praot I tiOnerS, and the medical profession generally, recommend cocoa as being the most healthful of all beverages. When the doctrine of homeopathy was first introduced into this country, there were to be obtained no preparations of cocoa either attrac tive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the nut was either smiled in the crude state, or so unskilfully manu factured as to ebtain little notice. J. Epps, of London, homoeopathic chemist, was induced in the year 18:39 to turn his attention to this aubje t, and at length sue:ceded, with the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first to produce an article pure in its composition, aid so refined by the pert et trituration it re -elves in the process it passe] through, as to be most acceptable to the delicate t.tomaelt. For general use Epps' cocoa is distill: uished as an invigo rating, grateful breakfast beverage, with a delicious aroma. Dr. Hassall in his work. "Food and its Adulterations," says—" Cocoa contains a great variety of important nutritive principles ; every ingredient necessary to the growth and sustenance of the body."

After Mr. Bright's speech (whice appeared in The San of yesterday), Mr. G. DIXON moved a vote of thanks to the borough members, and in the course of his remarks said he had one question to ask, and it was—Why was their respected and honoured junior member not at that present moment a Cabinet Minister? (Cheers.) Some said Mr. Bright's prin ciples were so unbending that he could not submit to what was involved in taking office. There were others who said that the great leaders of the Liberal party looked upon Mr. Bright with distrust, if not with fear ; but, let the reason be what it might, the fact remained the shine—that Mr. Bright, after successful and distinguished calve , : in the House of Commons, unlike those who hail followed careers less distinguished and less honourable, still remained among them unpossessed of the rewards which usually followed such a career. (hear, hear, and cheers.) Mr. Bright had seen young men, his col leagues, taken one by one from his side, and placed in offices of power, of emolument, and of labour; but he remained still unadorned with the insignia of office. (Hear, hear.) IL would ask, what did Mr. Bright do under those circumstances ? If he was informed correctly, Mr. Bright had tendered a ge nerous support to the Ministry, who without his aid could not continue in office, but which yet had no reward to offer him in return. To his fellow townsmen he would say that it was on that platform that their great tribune must receive his reward in the applause of an admiring and grateful people. (Cheers.) . Mr. BRIGHT, in reply, said—My friend Mr. Dixon is not so experienced a speaker as I am, and he has travelled a little bit off the line—(laughter)---but, notwithstanding that, I will take care that there shall not be in the shape of a collision -be tween us. (Hear hear, and laughter.) He has spoken of the fact of my being, as I say, your representative in the House of Commons, and not one of the Go vernment that has been in some sort—at least, issaid to have been—partly reconstructed. lam not sure whether office in our day can be considered theproper reward for long services faithfully rendered to the public. (Hear.) For a conscientious man office must be very burdensome. There are men in this Govern ment who feel it so ; and now the public are so much alive to all questions—the public is so great a public now—that almost every man in office has, I think, five times the larden of work and amount of re sponsibility he - had some years ago ; and when I look at those gentlemen who sit upon that Treasury bench, which so many men, especially those opposite—(laughter)—Sir John Pakington is one of them (renewed laughter)—look at with eyes glistening, as it were, with anxiety, some times with hope, sometimes, perhaps, with something not very hopeful—when I see these gen tlemen on the bench, when I consider the number of hours they have to sit there, how languid they look, and how, towards the close of the session, they all give signs of weariness which is detrimental to health, I confess I do not know how anybody who has his senses about hint can wish to be one of their;number. (Laughter.) However, I think it pro bable that if 1 had the ambition of office--if that had been the chief ambition of my political life— probably long before this I should have been in some office of " dignity and emolument," and my present office is one not of emolument, but it is one of very great dignity. (Enthusiastic cheering.) In partnership with my hon. friend I represent one of the largest, and I will undertake to say—and I say nothing more now than I should have said had I had no connection with Birmingham —one of the most intelligent and independent and liberal constituen cies in the United Kingdom. (Cheers.) I recollect that Horace Walpole tells of a man that waded to dignity through dirt—(" hear, hear," and laughter) —but there are some men who come to dignities through the portals of a dead ancestry. I come to my dignity by the favour of this constituency re garding, I hope, the honest—l am sure the honest —and I hope in some degree the useful course of my public life. Ido not-envy them who like other dig nities, who grasp at office. It is - Conceivable that man in my position, and with my principles, and with what I believe truly to exist in my own mind —the absence of that ambition for office—it is con ceivable that it might be my duty to accept office. (1 - fear, hear.) But if that should be so—and it is a bold figure of speech to speak of—depend upon it it shall only be when I am thoroughly convinced it is quite consistent with the - office which I now hold as your representative in Parliament, and the advo cate in some sort—humble and inefficient though it may be—of the great mass of my countrymen who are too few in that house to speak their sentiments or urge their claims. (Loud cheers.) I come here to these meetings always with a certain trepida tion, which yet is always mingled with a certain pleasure. Hike this town. I like this hall : it speaks, it looks of freedom. (Cheers.) I like these people. When I was all but a boy I felt something stir within me when I read of the conduct of the noble people of this town, and it has been my wish, dur ing the few years I have been connected with you, in everything I have been permitted to say here, to say something that could not lower your public character, or your estimate of public questions or public men. And if it should happen for years to come—if my life should be continued, and I should remain in your service, and that we should find partly as the result of our labours that our country men make further advances in freedom, we will re joice in looking back through the past.; and, though we may not have tasted of what are called—with a misplacement of terms—the sweets of office— (laughter)—yet we have that greater and that more precious reward, which we have striven to earn, and which we have gained—the good opinion and con fidence of a great people. But Mr. Dixon is re sponsible for all this. (Laughter.) What he said really was rather more fitted for that sort of after dinner oratory—(laughter)—where men are allowed to be rather more complimentary than is befitting, when those gentlemen below are likely to put in print what is said—(cheers and laughter)—because what he said is in danger of making me blush. (Laughter.) I forgive him, out of his kindness, and 1 forgive you for giving any sanction to what he said, because you are not quite so well informed about what is meant by official life as I am, after watching it narrowly for 22 years in the House of Commons. (Cheers.) The practical class of officers belonging to the Military Store:Department in IV oolwich Arsenal, nowgoing through the laboratory and other manufacturing branches, have re ceived a notification that the class will be suspended for the Christmas holidays from the 18th inst. until the 2d of January.
