It was designed to take a the little ones whose charact r and circumstances disqualify them for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tender age precludes their admission to the Refuges. Such are those who, from neglect, ale already on the road to ruin. Such are those who have been deserted by their natural protectors and left to beecome idle wanderers. Such are those whose parents may have at one time or other received parish relief, and who are now friendless orphans. Such are those whose parents a e breakers of tie law, or are in prison, and who train their chiliirm in the same path. Such are those whose evil associations have already had their painful effect, and must lead them to a life of crime and misery. There are now 50 little inmates from about four years of age to 10. There is room for nearly 10 , , and the Committee would joyfully see the Home filled at once ; they only wait cannoteaus The km—st ala e nt i o net m euss m fightop i l t .es . a e otd e mo ffe:elrwealtlh.nceouoahmn widow edlavoiunse and for the nece ssary su b scr i pt i ons. , P r l e e f a e d r r i f n o g r t t o h o t s. h e e w c o bweeanndalirleeardiya m a i d iy m p it a t u e n d, n t s h f e n y r tile because one of them (the naughty boy o' the family) runs wild in the street s an d is beyond her control ?

On the other hand, these are numbers who, but for the timely help afforded by such an Institution, must otheiwiee become paupers, and losing all iders of self-reli• ante and self-help, be permanent burdens to the State '1 he Home for Little Bays has, therefore, been established to reseee the little CTIC:a to save them from the prison on the one hand, and the worl:house on tile other, and to endeavour to make them useful members of society. '1 he daily routine of the Ins ituiion presents all the fea tures of a home, a school, and a vroAshoP. The little ones are cared for as children ; they have their regular meals, their suitable clothing, their Lours of play and amusement, and their singing class. They ate treated es scholars ; every morning is devoted to sell& 1 work—reading , and writing, and ciphering, and Scriptural instruction, with occasional lessons in oljects and other subjects. But they are also trained to work. As they must all, and that at a very early period in life, earn their living by the sweat of their brow, they are here at once taught habits of industry. So the after noons are occupied with various industrial occupations— making brown paper bags for bankers, and white raper bags for tradesmen, and door mats and servants' kneelers for any who will buy them ; picking the coil for the mats, mending the c othes, &o. Some assist the master in the garden, digging, planting, watering, weeding, and so forth. By degrees they are being made useful in the house, scrubbing and sweeping, while the elder ones clean all the boots, knives, &e. In this way it is sought to fit them for an active working llfe. 2d.

A county meeting was held at Aylesbury yester day, for the purpose of considering what means should be urged on the Government with a view to the more effectual prevention of the disease. The high sheriff, Mr. N. G. Lambert, presided, and among those present were the Duke of Buckingham, Right Hon. B. Disraeli, MP., Sir 11. Verney, Bart., M.P., Mr. C. C. Du Pre, M.P., Mr. Calvert, Q.C., Mr. Acton Tindal, Colonel Caulfeild Pratt, Colonel Watson, Mr. R. Pirefoy Fitzgerald, Mr. T. S. Chapman, Mr. J. T. Atiprßev. P. T. Otlyry, Rev. W. E. Partridge,' Itev."11: Scurr, Mr. P. C. Lovett, &c. Mr. J. T. SENIOR proposed the first resolution :- 4‘ That in the opinion of this meeting all foreign cattle should be landed at certain specified ports only, that they should be slaughtered at such ports when landed, and sent to the various markets in no other way but dead ;• and also that the hides should be disinfected or destroyed." After some discussion had taken place, Mr. DISRAELI said—This is a county meeting, called upon a requisition which I had not the honour of signing, but I felt it my duty, of course, to at tend a county meeting on a subject of such import ance. , I did hope that the gentlemen who signed the requisition would have brought the subject of this great national calamity, especially as it affects the interests of . this county, before us, and would have recommended the policy which they think we ought to appeal to her Majesty's Ministers to pursue. I am a little disappointed that we have been called on precipitately to adopt a resolution without that precise explanation which seems to be expedient. I came here to listen, not to speak ; I want to hear the opinion of my constituents as p r actical men, farmers, graziers, and dealers in cattle, on a sub ject which, after all, concerns their most vital in terests. With regard to the resolution which we have been called on rather suddenly to adopt, there are, I think, very grave objections to it. There are two ways of viewing the conduct which this country might have pursued with regard to the cattle plague. In June, when it first appeared, there were many measures which might have been taken, such as preventing the moving of cattle about the country, or preventing the importation of foreign cattle. But that opportunity has been lost. The Government was taken by surprise in June, when this terrible visitation first appeared, and it was left to a most intelligent gentleman, the Clerk to the Council, who, I think, met a grave re sponsibility with great ability, to meet by appro priate measures the probable inroads of this great calamity. Ido not at all wish to criticise the con duct of the Privy Council, as represented by Mr. Helps, under circumstances of great difficulty. But the truth is, that what might have been most effec tual in June will not probably, if we have recourse to it now, be at ail efficacious. The mischief has happened ; the plague has pervaded the land ; and these violent measures will have probably no effect on / the plague, while they iii4r - hzive - a - very injurious effect on your interests as traders. I will not dwell on the principal point named iu the requisition with regard to the stoppage of cattle from the metropo litan markets, which will be brought before you in another resolution ; but it is for you to consider whether it is wise to suggest an interference with your trade, by prohibiting the importation of cattle which you have hitherto been in the habit of feed ing and preparing for the food of the people— whether that shall take place with your concurrence and even at your suggestion. It is a measure which would have been of very doubtful expediency even in June, although I can understand that a strong case might have been made out for violent measures in June. But it is more than doubtful whether you should adopt such a course in Noveinber, and as a recommendation to be carried into law, rather (as it appears) as an experiment, there are I think grave doubts as to the course which is here recom mended to us. The resolution was carried with about half a dozen dissentients. The Rev. P. T. OUVEY moved a resolution re commending that the exclusion of sheep and swine from the local markets be rescinded, the prohibition as to cattle being retained. The Duke of BUCKINGIIOI said he attended the meeting without any intention of addressing it, but he was entirely averse to the motion. He was not averse to the utmost facility being given for the carrying on of trade, but the course recommended would be a step backward instead of forward. • He was not going to blame the Government or the Privy Council, but the general opinion in the country was that if there wertone point in which blame attached to any one, it was that not only the Government, but the country had been too slow in measures of prevention, and that these measures were taken on an insufficient scale. It was clear how much hesita tion the Government felt, if welook only to the many changes and alterations made in the successive orders in council. It would have been a most important step if the Government, instead of leaving it to the discretion of local authorities to have fairs and mar kets or to close them, had issued some general order applicable to every district in the country. The pre sent state of things resulted in this—that while they submitted to the inconvenience of having markets closed in this county, the authorities 20 miles off might think fit to keep theirs open, and so all the benefit of their precaution might be lost. Whatever difference of opinion there might be as to the origin of the disease (which for the present purpose was of little moment), there could be none as to its conta gious nature, and the general view was that every means should be used to prevent its being carried from one farm to another. He concurred in the step taken by magistrates in this and other counties, in stopping the transmission not only of cattle, but of sheep and swine, to market, and he could not re concile it to himself to allow sheep which had come from his neighbour Mr. Rogers's fields, where the disease was, to be placed alongside of any other animals at market. When he remembered the stringent cautions urged by the Government as to the dress of men who had to do with diseased cattle, it was impossible not to believe that sheep might convey the infection. But he objected to the resolution on this ground also, that they were deal ing in a piecemeal and partial manner with a mat ter of imperial interest. He thought the agricultu rists should urge on the government some uniform system throughout the country, and that, if neces sary,p ( parliament a.) eentr s h o uld be called together for that purpose. The motion was lost, only one or two hands being held up for it. Mr. A. TINDAL moved, "That this meeting views with great alarm and deep concern the gradual and continued spread of the disease among animals, known as the cattle plague, and fully agrees with the opinion expressed by the royal commission ap pointed to inquire into the origin and nature of the disease, that it is so highly contagious and undis, coverable at certain stages, that an absolute prohi bition ought to be made against the transmission or conveyance of animals which have been exhibited for sale at the metropolitan market."- After some discussion, the motion was carried unanimously. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM moved, "That it is the opinion of this , meeting that the restrictions to be placed on markets and fairs, and on the trans , mission of cattle—as well in infected districts as in the country generally—should be laid down•by go vernment, and not left to the varying decisions of separate local jurisdictions, and that it is the opinion of this meeting that parliament should be called together, in order to any special legislation which may be necessary to give effect to these views." He argued that as the government had already prohi bited the importation of cattle into Ireland, and into the part of Scotland north of the Caledonian Canal, and into theWesternlslands, they could not be powerless to carryout a uniform system elsewhere; but, in any case, the subject was of sufficient im portance to justify the calling of Parliament together. Mr. DISRAELI said this was a meeting through which the Government might learn the general feel ing of the country on the matter. But with regard to calling Parliament together, which was a common suggestion, at the present time it could not be effected. There must be sixteen days' notice in the Gazette, and then a week would be consumed in swearing in membersand choosing a speaker. Then the .Government natiiittil notice of-i - heii4ntention, to bring in a bill, and no Parliament would ever sit during the Christmas holidays. Speaking now to farmers and graziers, he would say they were na turally much alarmed, and ready to listen to any sug gestion made by their friends, and perhaps by some who did not take so deep an interest in their success. But all restrictions would be restrictions on their industry and capital, as farmers and graziers, and they ought not to adopt any such restrictions unless they were convinced of their necessity. (Hear.) The motion was carried unanimously. Sir 11. VERNEY moved a resolution that in cases where cattle are destroyed by order of the Govern ment inspector some compensation should be allowed to the owner by the Government. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM thought this one of the most important questions that could come before Parliament, and he believed that some system of compensation would be adopted. But there would be ample opportunity before Parliament met of con sidering the question, and they ought not to go to Parliament with the disadvantage of having mea sures pressed on the Government by one county which had been condemned iu another. There must be great difficulty in awarding the compensation. They would best forward their views by abstaining from any definite proposal until the amount of the loss could be ascertained. As one who might have to give a vote on the subject, he could not vote for the resolution. s Mr. DISRAELI said too much praise could not be given to the agriculturists of this country for the way in which they had met this calamity, but he had said from the first, that supposing it to prevail largely in this country, it was impossible to suppose that the arrangements made would be sufficient to support the sufferers under these circumstances. He wished especially to draw attention to the efforts which had been made in Hertfordshire, under the auspices of Lord Salisbury. An insurance associa tion had been formed on the principle of limited liability. Every person insuring was required to take shares co the extent of one-fourth of his in surance, besides paying a premium ; besides which it afforded an opportunity to those landowners who had no cattle to insure to support the agricultural interest by taking shares. Lord Salisbury told him two months ago he was confident they had already £15,000 invested, and with the nominal capital distributed as it - was, there would be no difficulty, without great distress to the county, in supporting those engaged in this branch of agriculture. Ile wished that he could believe there was an equally satisfactory state of things in Buckinghamshire. Such an institution as he suggested need not inter fere with the associations already existing, for the able men at the head of these associations would easily find a way by which they might work to gether. (Hear, hear.) The meeting, after some desultory discussion, terminated with a vote of thanks to the high sheriff. The Cattle Plague. MEETING AT WHITECHAPEL. A public meeting on behalf of the East London Cowkeepers' Mutual Relief Fund. Association was held last evening in the large school-room, St. Mary-steet, Whitechapel-road, to take into con sideration the best means of compensating those who have been sufferers through the cattle plague. Mr. Ayrton, M.P., occupied the chair. There was an exceedingly scanty attendance of the public on the occasion. The Chairman, after some remarks of a general nature on the subject of the cattle plague, observed that it might be said that this was only a trade mis fortune, and that it must be borne in the same way as other calamities had to be borne. It was true that every branch of industry which wasbased upon the cultivation . of animals and plants was liable to serious derangement. But the question which they had to consider was, whether, when these misfor tunes did occur in a certain degree of intensity, when they surprised people in the. ordinary course of their business, so as to bring upon them great and irreparable misfortune, it was not the duty of society at large to come forward and to render a he aping hand, so far as it might benecessary to alleviate any real and grievous suffering. (Hear, hear.) In former times when the potato disease afflicted the people of Ireland, they in England who did not suf fer by that calamity came forward in the mostliberal manner to endeavour to relieve all pressing andreal wants, and on other occasions whenever a case has been presented to them—whether at home or abroad —of great suffering arising from some unforeseen misfortune, the people of this country had never shown themselvesbackward in doing what they could to alleviate:it. (Hear, hear.) Now, he held in his hand a list of the losses of cowkeepers in the Tower Hamlets, from the Ist of July to the end of Septem ber, showing that some persons who had been car rying on a very moderate business, probably just enough to afford them a reasonable subsistence, had had the whole of their stock suddenly swept away. That, undoubtedly, to them must be a most grievous misfortune. There were other persons engagedin a larger way of business, with a greater number of cows, who had suffered in a like degree, and if they had not the means of replacing those cows the loss to them relatively must be greater and the change of fortune must be still More oppres sive. The question then was, What could be done for the relief of the sufferings of these persons ? Looking to the number of persons present that night he did not think they could do much to alleviate the misfortunes of that portion of the com munity, but that was no reason why they should not express sympathy with them, and endeavour to evoke a friendly spirit on the part of others who were well able to afford them pecuniary relief in their dire distress. (Hear.) They could hardly ex pect that in the district where they had met there would be the gathering of that wealth and strength which might have been found if they had assembled in St. James's Hall, at the west-end of London • but there was no reason why the voice of the com munity in that district should not reach the ears of the persons who could respond to it, and he trusted that what was said that night would not be altoge ther said in vain. (Hear.) He depreciated the no tion that whenever a calamity of this kind arose the sufferers' wants should be relieved out of the public exchequer, and thought it a much wiser course that they should appeal to public sympathSr, and ask those who were richer than their neighbours, had more than enough and plenty to spare, should give PRICE . .... S T..9.311'D. .. .. out of thcirgsuperabundanee something to relieve those who were afflicted. (Hear.)- Referring to the report of the. Royal commission, the lion. member observed that he did not discover that in that re- port any special provision was contained having re ference to the position of the keepers of dairies, and if there were to be no further dealing in live cattle he did not exactly see how the business of a dairy man was to be carried on if he were to be restricted from replenishing his stock. (Hear.) He had been handed a statement showing the dealings in cattle in London from July, 1865, to Nov. 13, from which it would appear that out of 132,560 beasts, 59,780 being English and the rest foreign, which had been brought to the cattle market at Islington for sale, only 270 had been selected by the inspectors as pre senting possible sy mp t oms o f the disorder, and of that number only 62 had been finally adjudged to die as being incurable of the disease. If that be so, it showed how difficult it was to place the interfer ence with trade upon any satisfactory basis. In conclusion, the hon. gentlemansuggested that the meeting should be considered a preliminary one ; and that, instead of pursuing their discussions that evening, the gentlemen who had called the meeting should take some more organised action, for the purpose of seeing what could be done. (Hear.) This course was agreed to; and a vote of thanks having been passed to the chairma7 for his kindness in presiding, the meeting was alk,lirued,. MEETING AT CHELSEA. A meeting, consisting principally of cowkeepers and butchers, was held on Tuesday, at the Pier Hotel, Cheyne-walk, Chelsea, " to," in the words of the notice convening the meeting, " consider and resolve upon the best steps to be taken in the un exampled blow at the whole of the cattle trade, in the report just issued by the Royal Commission-- viz., ' The complete suspension of the movement of cattle from one place in Great Britain to another.' " Dr. Barclay, the medical officer of health for the district of Chelsea, presided. The CHAIRMAN said that on a former occasion, when he had the pleasure of meeting the cowkeepers of Chelsea, he ventured then to express his dissent from the resolutions adopted by the Privy Council, and said he thought they were not at all adapted for the purpose for which they were proposed— namely, the putting a stop to the spread of the cattle plague in London. Since that time a Royal Commission had been busily engaged in inquiring into the subject, and they had made their report. That report fully bore out the statement made by him on the former occasion, that this cattle plague was one of an exceedingly infectious nature. But the Royal Commissioners went on to make sugges tions as to how this cattle plague was to be stopped, and those suggestions were such as, he thought, would not commend themselves to the minds of men of business, and he trusted that they would not com mend themselves to the Government of this country as being measures which were at all justifiable even in the circumstances in which they were placed. (Hear, hear.) The recommendations made by the commissioners were such as would necessarily be injurious to trade, and he could not help think ing that other measures might have been adopted, which would haVe avoided this evil consequence. He thought they might fairly point to what had happened in the pariSh of Chelsea, as showing what might be done by proper precautions. With the ex ception of two particular cases, in which the cattle were allowed to remain in the sheds to die, the loss in the one case amounting to six, and the other to five cows, they had not lost 'another half-dozen in the whole parish of Chehea, owing to the pre cautions that had been taken ; and if these precau tions had been more carefully followed out they would not have had to point to this loss, which had been sustained through the introduction of certain cattle which ought not to have been brought into the parish. From reports which , „F reached him from many quarters he believed tkat the Govern ment inspectors had, from mere apprehension, con demned animals which ought not to have been con demned. (Hear, hear.) He was of opinion that the Cattle Plague Commission had gone further in this matter than they were justified in doing. (Hear, hear.) If they had confined themselves to recommending the adoption of measures by which the removal of cattle - from one district to another should be done only under the supervision of proper and competent officers, the whole object would, in his opinion, be obtained. (Hear, hear.) Mr. DEXTER, a cowkeeper, moved :—" That in the opinion of this meeting the recommendation, contained in the report first issued by the Royal Commission for suspension of the cattle traffic in Great Britain, is of an arbitrary and tyrannical cha racter, ill calculated to achieve its object, exceeding even the practice of indiscriminate slaughter so long prevalent, and unworthy of adoption by a liberal and enlightened government." He felt satisfied that all those who considered this matter impartially would come to the conclusion that the Govern ment had not yet taken the measures calculated to accomplish the desired object. And the measures that.they had taken had not been taken in proper time; Warnings had been repeatedly given that the disease had got into the country, and yet no steps had been taken by the Government in the it atter until the disease had got full possession of the country, and then appointed .young and inex periended men to be inspectors, and the work of wholesale slaughter went on. The chairman had expressed his belief that there had been instances in which cattle had been condemned that ought not to have been condemned. Now, he (Mr. Dexter) knew of instances in which the inspectors did not condemn cattle that should have been condemned. t(hHeeGaro,vleieranru..?thrtlnofcotnhtisraesetutnotrtyh ehmanner d i n in w h is matter beend been adopted on tihitee pointed m s e a a s n u ( r l e i c a h t had that the measures taken by t he productive of such good resu lts. He felt confident Government of checking the disease had had at the the contrary effect, time that and had led to much evasion, they had been productive of much injustice and hardship. Coining to the recommendations of the Royal Commission, he expressed a strong opinion that they would be found impracticable. They would inflict a great injury not only on the trade, but the country at large. (Hear, hear.) Mr. DANCOCKS, in seconding the resolution, ex pressed his agreement with all that had been said by the chairman and Mr. Dexter on the subject. Dr. CRISP did not consider that the resolution was sufficiently stringent in its' character. If effi cient and stringent measures were not taken they would not have an ox left in the country. Re ferring to the measures adopted by the Government in the matter, he expressed his surprise that no pro vision had been made to compensate those whose cattle were ordered to be slaughtered, and de clared his confidence that when Parliament met they would never sanction such an injustice. He was understood to 'say that he would not oppose the adoption of the resolution, as he felt that this was a question which it concerned the trade to deter mine for itself. Mr. DELANY supported the resolution. The resolution was put and carried unanimously. Mr. NEWMAN next moved—" That a committee be now appointed to confer as to the steps neces sary to be taken for the protection of the interests of those connected with the trade and traffic in cattle, and that the various members of Parliament be written to soliciting their aid in any efforts that may be made to effect an alteration of this threatened ruin of so large and industr ious a class of persons, who have already suffered to such an extent ." • Mr. CROSS seconded the resolution, which was carried: On the motion of Mr. MORRISON, seconded by Mr. FREEMAN, it was also resolved that the meet ing stand adjourned to that day week, and that the vestry of the parish of Chelsea be requested to. WSPAPrZEI 2-1 -i,q -444 grant the use of the vestry IzaitAfahattrpose and occasion ; that the trade oflt t be ilittrotfcgis be invited to assist, by the holdings of similar meetings in their various parishes ; and that delegates be ap pointed from that meeting for that purpose.

The gallant chairman, in opening the.proceedings, made a very spirited address to the crowded audience who had been invited to the proceedi ngs , a n d after speak.: o. in of the great hold which the Volunteer move went had taken upon all classes of the country, he went on to point out its value to the nation as a permanent institution. As a military organization, he said, its value was iproved to him by a remark which he heard an officer of great distinction and experience make after inspecting upwards of 100 volunteer regiments, that within a fortnight after being called into active service they would be ready to do anything which a soldier would require so that, testing them by the standard of their principal and ultithate function, that of defending their coun try in case of TV' n 1, they were in a far better and sounder sta., w ere. wh en they first started in enthusiasm 'between five and six _years - - there Were`Many ways in ilich tli`e movement bore on the life of the country besides that ultimate func tion of fighting any such enemies as might be fools enough to land upon our shores, and one of the first benefits which he saw arising was that it gave a very large number of our young men some idea of the value of discipline and subordination. Then it had helped to bridge the chasm which stood between class and class, and in doing this it had done greater good to the future of the country than was, perhaps, t a i t f i a:ristt wasdoing apparent. a A g n r o e t a h t e l r n v oarkd in givimportantg youngpoint i a n v e a n s physical education, the necessity of which had lately been much dwelt upon by two distinguished states men, and he hoped that the time would soon come when• every volunteer corps would have a place for practice of gymnastics. He concluded by urging all volunteers to defend their hearths and homes in a practical manner in their daily life, by observing all the courtesies and dignities of manhood, and pre senting themselves as models of the positions they held in social life. Mrs. Chambers, the wife of a - Garibaldian officer, was then introduced to the meeting to present the prizes, commencing with the company's prizes, of which No. 1, Capt. Prewett's company, and No. 3, Capt: Grady's company, ap peared to have a large and valuable selection. The officers who had distinguished themselves before the target—namely, Capt. Prewett, Lieut. Mar -1 gary, Lieut. Stuart, Captain Driver, Lieut. Alsop, Captain and Adjutant Lidwell, Dr. Ladd, and Captain Pretions, were, if anything, more loudly cheered on . going for their prizes than even their private and non-commissioned antagonists —a. proof that shooting officers are very popular. The presentation of one prize caused no little amusement—namely, a flitch of bacon, given by Mr. W. R. Cooper, and won by Sergeant Caper; who, with the assistance of his comrades, manfully shouldered his prize, and marched away with it amid the plaudits and laughter of the spectators to the tune of the " Conquering Hero." It should be stated that the honourable distinction of being the " best shot of the battalion" this year, attained by making the highest number of points in the second and first - classes together, had been won by Dr. Ladd, whose arm was accordingly decorated with the rifle and three stars. At the conclusion of the proceedings a vote of thanks, proposed by Captain Prewett, was carried to the donors of prizes, and acknowledged, and thanks were also passed to the chairman- and Mrs-. -Chambpl.

The St. Martin's division of the Queen's West minster dined together on St. Martin's Day, under the presidency of the Hon. Arthur Kinnaird, at the Freemasons' Tavern. Colonel Erskine, the Inspector-General, was present, among other dis tinguished guests, and, in acknowledging the toast of " The Volunteers," he said the force had greatly increased in efficiency during the year, and he had every reason to believe the returns would show a steady increase in numbers. He bore witness to the efficiency of the large regiment of which this divi sion formed a part, and he said the parish of St. Martin had always shown a high example of pa triotism, and he supposed the early authorities had a taste for military connexions, seeing that they selected for their patron saint ono who had distin guished himself as a soldier before he took holy orders. The Finsbury Rifles lately held two interesting competitions at Rainham—one for volley firing, the other for file firing. There Were two good prizes, and these were both won by No. 3, Capt. llislop'fil Company—a result, doubtless, due to the careful superintendence the company has of late had, and the encouragement offered to its members to drill and shoot. The Ist company lately fired for its prizes and a prize given by Captain Solly was won by Private Pride with 39, at 200, 400, and 600 yards. Colour-Sergeant Smith, with 36, won a watch given by Ensign Vine ; and Corporal Parry and Captain Foley won prizes given by Mr. Nunn. Alderman Lusk, M.P., has given a challenge-cup, value £25, to be shot for quarterly, competition at the Wim bledon ranges, and will renew the prize every two years. Mr. M'Cullagh Torrens, M.P., has also given a valuable prize. The ladies of Stratford and the vicinity having most.liberally subscribed the sum of 100 guineas to be shot for by the officers and members of the sth Essex Rifles, the competition took place on Friday and Saturday last, and resulted as follows :—Long range Prizes. —The first prize, Challenge Cup, value 30 guineas, and a purse of £lO, was won by Major Birt, who retired in favour of Corporal Shaw, who made the next score. The second prize was won by Private Hince. Short-range Prizes.— The first prize was won by Sergeant Gwinn ; the second prize by Sergeant Colverd. Mrs. Capper, wife of the colonel of the corps, presented two prizes, which were won by Sergeant Cudamo .u r t e erto Sergeant Mercer.
