Hope, Ensign Apted, Colour-Sergeant Sheridant, and the sergeant and corporals, and the chief of these were won by privates Mansfield, 11. Jons, Abbot, Adams, and Francis. The simultaneous competition of the National Artillery Association has been concluded. The firing is by artillery volunteer corps with smooth bore guns, on certain days chosen beforehand, and as near the same time as possible. The firing was with 32 and 68-pounders, five shots each, at 1,250 and 1,500 yards, points being given for " direction," " elevation," and " direct hits." The 2d Detach-. meat of the Ist Shropshire, firing at a land range, made 39 points, making four good shots, as far as regards direction and elevation, and one direct hit. They won the first prize, £3O, and the badges of the Association. The 3d Detachment of the same corps made 38 points, and won the second prize of £2O. The 2d Hants, 3d Detachment, made 38, and won the third prize of £lO. The time of this detachment was some 17 seconds longer than the time taken by the second prize takers, and this decided the tie. The firing generally was very good. This compe tition, it is believed, will be abandoned by the Association. nOUNTRY HOTELS, PUBLIC HOUSES, and BUSINESSES. FURNESS and KNEE'S List on application.

IMPORTANT CAUTION,—Beware of the many unsavoury and more than sloppy imitations to which, without autho rity, Baron Liebig ts name is most audaciously attached.

We quote from the Gazette du Midi, July 25th (Cure No. 68,413): "Rome, July 21st, 1866.—The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other remedies. he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every meal. It has produced a surprisingly beneficial effect on his heath, and His Holiness cannot praise this excellent food too highly."

Robert Twiss, LL.D., Pembroke College, Cambridge, and of Trevallyn, Denbighshire. He was educated at University College, OXford, where he graduated in 1830, taking a first class in mathe matics, and a second class in classics. He subse quently became Fellew and Tutor of his College. From 1835 to 1840 he was one of the public exa miners in classics and mathematics, and among those who were " passed" by him in honours were Lord Maidstone, now Earl of Winchelsea, Mr. Gathorne Hardy, M.P., Home Secretary ; Mr. W. R. Seymour Fitzgerald, Governor of Bombay ; Lord March, now Duke of Richmond ; Sir Stafford H. Northcote, M.P., Dr. Waldegrave, Bishop of Car lisle ; Dr. P. C.

From 1842 to 1847 Dr. Travers Twiss was Professor of Political Economy in the University of Oxford, and from 1852 to 1855 Professor of Inter national Law in King's College, London. This ap pointment he resigned on being appointed Regius Professor of Civil Law in the University of Oxford. In 1840 he was called to the Bar by the Hon. Society of Lincoln's-inn, and was subsequently admitted an advocate in Doctors'-Commons. In 1849 ho was ap pointed commissary-general of the city and diocese of Canterbury, and in 1852 vicar-general of the province. In 1858, on the advancement of Dr. Lushington to the office of the Court of Appeal of his province, Dr. Twiss was appointed by the Bishop Chancellor of the Diocese of London. On the transfer of the testamentary and matrimonial jurisdiction from the ecclesiastical to the civil courts Dr. Twiss was created a Queen's Counsel, and was elected a Boncher of Lincoln's-inn. lie is the author of several valuable works, among which may be mentioned " The Relations of the Duchies of Schleswig and of Holstein to the Crown of Denmark and the Germanic Confe deration ;" " The Letters Apostolic of Pope Pius IX., considered with reference to the Law of Eng land and the Law of Europe ;" " The Law of Nations considered as independent Political Com munities ;" " The Oregon Question Examined with respect to Facts and the Law of Nations ;" " View of the' Progress of Political Economy in Europe since the 16th Century ;" " Lectures on the Science of International Law ;" and an edition of " Livy, with Latin Notes."

Beales, the President of the Reform League, in reply to the announcement that the League would use its organisation, consisting of 430 branches, for the purposes of registration, educating the people in the use of the vote, and promoting the re t u rn to the next Parliament of members pledged to advanced Liberal principles My dear Mr. Beales,—l am glad to see that it is not intended to discontinue the o rganisation and labours of the Refor m Lea g ue, althou g h so great a step has been gained in the extension of the suf frage. On that branch of the question of Reform I presume you will not feel it necessary now to agi , tate further, so far as the boroughs are concerned. " But the concession of a wide franchise is most incomplete so long as the security of the ballot is denied. As a machinery for conducting elections without disorder, the arrangement of the ballot is perfect, and, if on that ground only, it should be adopted. But there is a higher ground on which all Reformers should insist upon it. The more wide the suffrage, the more there are of men in humble circumstances who are admitted to the exer cise of political rights, the more clearly is it neces ' sary that the shelter of the ballot should begranted. I am confident it would lessen expenses destroy the at elec tions, greatly diminish corruption, and odious system of intimidation which now ma ke the so ex tensively prevails, and that would House of Commons a more colete represen- tation of the opinions and wishes of . the electoral body. I have a very strong conviction on this subject, and I hope all our friends throughout the country will accept the ballot as the next great question for which, in connection with Parliamen tary Reform, they ought to contend. Without this safeguard there can be no escape from corruption and and oppression at elections, ourpolitical con and tests will still remain what they now are, If to eßeform a discredit to us as a fre e and intelligent people. League and Reform Union will make the ballot their next work, they must soon succeed. I need not tell you that I shall heartily join them in their labours for this great end. I hope the friends of the ballot —those who care for freedom and morality in the working of our representative system—will provide the needful funds to enable you to move on with an increasing force to a complete success.—Believe me, always sincerely yours, " JOHN BRIGHT. " Edmond Beaks, Esq., Lincoln's-inn, London." " Blackheath-park. " Dear Sir,—l have already, by sending a sub scription, given in my adhesion to the determination of the Reform League to employ its organisation in promoting the registration of the Liberals who will become entitled to the suffrage under the new Reform Act. With regard to the further object of promoting the election of candidates professing advanced Liberal principles, I should be glad if, not only the Reform League, but all the other organisa tions of reformers throughout the country would keep themselves in existence for that purpose. There will be ample work for all of them, and I can only hope that they will not confine their support to can didates who adhere to their own particular pro gramme, but will extend it to advanced Liberals of all shades, a close union of whom among themselves ./ was never more needed than it will be at the first general election under the new act.—l am, dear Sir, yours very truly, " J.

RAILWAY C O MPANIES V. WELSHERS. --There have been two large captures of the betting fra ternity at Reading for attempting to defraud railway com panies by travelling without tickets. After the rush races at O x f o rd on Thursday even in g there was a groat Great Western Railway station to s et off by the special train, and the officials were satisfied that se tveral eat d t en t ere d carriages without tickets. After the rain lef Oxford the superintendent of the station telegraphed to his fellow-officer at Reading to collect tickets. On the arrival of the train at the last-mentioned place the rail way officer called out "Collect tickets." The adoption of this procedure led to the discovery of eight persons being without tickets ; they were accordingly taken into custody h a nd lodged in the cell s of the Reading police -station for tp e night. On Friday morning they were t a ken before Ca tain Purvis and Mr. Andrews, two magistrates for the borough, and charged with attempting to defraud the railway company. The eight were convicted. Six were ordered to pay a penalty of 40s. each and cost; and a man and his bon 12 years of age, ascertained to be very poor, were fined ls. and costs. The penalty of 400. and costs was paid by one Edward Smith, onoup ls who cost m w for as found £3 Os. 5 d., and Thomas Bishton paid himself and boy, but the remaining six were committed to Reading gaol for a fortnight. The other capture was effected at the South Western Station at Reading on Wednesday. The party had attended Egliam races on that day, and were making their way for Oxford. Telegraphic intimation was conveyed to Bracknell station of some having entered the carriages without payment of the faros, and when the train arrived there the small staff of officials were afraid to effect any capture fr om fear of being overpowered. They thereupon locked the doors and allowed the train to proceed, adopting the precaution to telegraph to Reading. At this place there was a good number of officers in attendance, and the result was that six were taken into custody. They were lodged at the Reading railway station, and on Thurs day were taken before the magistrates at Wokingham. In default of payment of the fines imposed they were com mitted to gaol for 14 days.—Pall-Mall Gazette. DEATII OF TILE WIDOW MACHREE.—The famous chestnut mare by American Star, the Widow Machree, to dead, and as she was one of the gamest that ever looked through a bridle, —following in that prime particular her ' noted sire, who was as tough as laminated steel, —it is fitting that she should have honourable mention. The Widow was a small, light-boned mare, but full of fire and o b s ti n ate perseverance to th e bitter end, which oft en sna t c h es victory out of tho gaping j a ws of defeat. She w as very fast, site was up to weight, and she could tro t all day. Hiram Woodruff had such an opinion of the Widow that ho esteemed her next to Peerless among the daughters of Star, and has left mention of her in his great work. The Widow died young, being only fourteen, and her death resulted from a stab iu he inside of the near hock w hich penetrated the joint. It was no doubt done in tentionally by some miscreant. The effect of the agony and inflammation was such that Captain ltynders was advised to destroy her, but hoping that she might be restored he held on to the last.

Well, you have paid me, and I will hold my tongue." Again, at the end of the third act, it would have been intensely more dramatic to have let the audience just see that Harebell had gone mad, than to have prolonged this scene to its present length. With the exception of the really beautiful and pathetic allusion at the close of the act, to his dead wife—" his puir bonnie birdie"— the other ravings -were uninteresting, although splendidly acted. Why Lord Steelman should be in a perpetual worry, and begging every one not to pester him with questions, 'we are at a loss to con ceive. Mr. Herman Vezin has given us one of the most admirable . impersonations the : history of modern. drama can record.: Mr. Willv is inore than fortunate to. have 'secured so truthful :an interpreter of the exceptionally beautiful chhracter of James Harebell: Mr. Veziii. conveyed in every detail a not-to-be forgotten. impression of the nobility and purity of character.' of the Scotch poet, his passionate love of nature, his tender, undying affection for his young wife and the little " bairnies," and the :touching simplicity of his generous unsuspecting confidence in his friend. In some scenes his acting rose - to genius. Such - an impression was felt by the audience in the scene where he listened .to the accusations brought against Braidon khis mute but eloquent appeal to him to hurl be the lie,-as he thought, and finally the terror of his grief 'on discovering the fatal truth. Again, the contrast between the gloom of the coming madness and the dread reality was grandly and artistically portrayed. We could not in such short space do adequate justice to all the beauties of an impersonation which will long be remembered as a model of superb acting. Mr. Maclean played with remarkable ability, and quite characteristically, the old Scotch servant, Saunders, and sang like a musician the pathetic and beautiful ballad in the last act. Miss Nelly Moore played gracefully, as she always does, but with the excep tion of the first act, had but little opportunity for the display of talents which are as well known as they are appreciated. Miss Edith Stuart looked and acted the poet's wife, the " bonnie birdie" char mingly. The remaining characters were fairly represented. The music, which in such a play should be a very important feature, is, if we except the two ballads sung by Harebell and Saunders, barely up to the mark. The introduction between the acts of a sickly Godfrey waltz, wherein " Comin' thro' the rye" is made to sanction a series of commonplace themes, and a polka later on, quite in keeping with the . waltz, is singularly out of place. As a compensation, however, we may quote the inexpressibly touching incident in the second act, where the village children come to the poet's window, and, scattering flowers, sing him his favourite ballad. The scenery is good, especially in the last act. Mr. Wills and Mr. Vezin are both entitled to the sincerest congratulations—the for mer for a play which, on its own merits, deserves a brilliant, and unprecedented run, and the latter for acting that is too seldom witnessed, and delights all who have the good fortune to behold it.— Westminster Gazette.

Arrangements for the march of a " flying column" from Aldershot to Sandhurst arc now com pleted, and, weather permitting, the column will leave camp to-morrow, under the command of Major-Gen. H. Renny, commanding the Ist In fantry Brigade 'at Aldershot. It will be composed of a field battery of Royal Artillery, the 51th, 56th, and 70th Regiments, with detachments of the Mili tary Train, Commissariat, and Royal Engineers. The whole will encamp at Sandhurst, and during its stay there the Deputy-Commissary-Gen. will make arrangements for rationing the force. The Ist Infantry Brigade at Aldershot, under the command of Major-Gen. 11. Renny, had a field-day on Friday. The brigade formed up on the Club house-green in line of contiguous columns shortly before 11 o'clock. Points were at once thrown out, and the troops marched past in grand. divisions in quick time and in the following order :—Major Deacon and the 54th (West Norfolk) Regiment ; Major C. Rice and the 72d (Duke of Albany's Own) llighlanders, Col. Harrison and 30th Staffordshire Volunteers, Colonel Lacy, and 56th (West Essex) Regiment. Having passed, each regiment reformed column of companies from grand divisions, counter marched by ranks, and went past from the reverse flank in quarter distance column en masse. They then wheeled to the right, countermarched and marched past by brigades in line of contiguous COlumili;-and again from the reverse flank en masse at quarter distance, right in front. A series of brilliantly executed field movements - followed, and the brigade returned to quarters about half-past 12 o'clock. On the same day similar movements were executed by 3d brigade (43d, 68th, and 70th Regiments) under Brigadier Greer, on the Queen's Parade, North Camp. The cavalry brigade, consisting of the Ist (King's) Dragoon Guards, the 4th (Royal Irish) Dragoon Guards, and the 15th (the King's) Hussars was also exercised in various movements under the lieutenant-general commanding the Division. The E battery, C brigade Royal Horse Artillery, has struck tents on Cove-common and gone into quarters in' the East Block Permanent Barracks, lately vacated by A battery of the same brigade, removed to Dorchester. It is expected that the comparatively small force now stationed at Aldershott Camp will shortly be considerably reduced by removals of regiments, and that scarcely more than 5,000 troops will be brigaded there during the ensuing winter. Brevet-Major Inman is under orders to join the depot at Colchester on the Ist of October, when Captain Le Mottee, 2d battalion 18th Regiment, will proceed to the service companies in New Zealand.

It is a pleasure, but rarely experienced now-a days, to chronicle the success of a play which is not only new, and, with but one exception, strik ingly original, but is also intensely interesting in its reality and high poetic sentiment. " The Alan o' Airlie" is the conception of a poet, and, bearing in mind the vitiated taste of a • London audience, would, perhaps, have met with greater success and more delicate appreciation in the form of a poem than its present dramatic embodiment. As it is, however, we find it an ingenious and profoundly interesting play, notwithstanding that there are many faults in it of construction and dialogue which indicate a want of experience in writing for the stage. These faults, however, do not interfere with the action of the drama, and, almost as soon as discovered, are lost sight of in its numerous beauties. It is, on the whole, a fresh, vigorous, and graceful work, and does honour to its author. The chief incident is suggested by a German drama, by Carl Von Holder, entitled, " Lorbeerbaum and Bettelslab," and is exceedingly pleasing. The plot may be briefly told. James Harebell, a Scotch poet, lives in a delicious little cottage on the bor ders of a breezy loch. His means are ample, and he has *charming wife and " twa bairnies," whom he loves with infinite tenderness. He has, by long and careful economy, amassed £3OO to pay for the publication of his poems. At the suggestion of Miss Steelman, the daughter of Lord Steelman, he entrusts this money to Robert Brandon, his foster brother, who undertakes to deliver it to the publisher and make use of his greater experience for Harebell's benefit. Brandon, who is of a supe rior station, is about to marry Miss Steelman, who, notwithstanding her aversion to the match, yields obedience to the wishes of her father. Sir Gerald Hope, who is in love with Miss Steelman, appears on the scene to Brandon's great terror. Hope is his creditor for £5OO, which was lent to pay off a gambling debt. At first the two are equally ignorant of each other's sentiments towards Miss Steelman. Brandon first introduces the subject of the debt of honour so long unpaid, and seeing that Hope looks upon him as a swindler, alludes to his approaching marriage as the means of discharging the debt. Hope, stung by the announcement, threatens to denounce him, and Brandon, rendered desperate, pays Hope the £3OO he had received from Harebell, and promises the remainder the next day. One means only of keeping this promise exists. He sees Harebell, and by a false but art fully concocted story, succeeds in extracting from him the £2OO, which is literally all that Harebell has in the world. Hope is paid and his mouth necessarily silenced. Months pass by, and the money, which was to have been repaid in a few weeks, is not forthcoming. At length Brandon visits Harebell in his beautiful mountain-home and stuns him with the fatal news that the money is lost to him for ever. Harebell is made to believe that Brandon is equally with himself a victim, and that the money was applied to succour the distress of an unfortunate family. The poor poet is, in fine, a beggar, and is obliged to sell up his bright, happy home, and seek employment in Edinburgh. Misfortune lays a heavy hand upon him. Day by day his young wife droops, stifled by the close smoky atmo sphere, and with the little baby dies and leaves him desolate. A painful bewilderment steals upon him—his songs gradually leave him— his brain is yielding before the sorrow that has come upon him, and his heart is breaking. But the worst is in store. He discovers that the man whom he trusted, and whose piteous tale wrung from him his money, his beautiful home, his wife, bairn, all, in fact, he cared for in this world, has cruelly deceived him. His poems were never sent to the publisher ; and this money, like the other, has been absorbed in the gambling lossesof a scoundrel. The brain of the poor poet reels, and finally gives way, and he staggers from the room a madman. Twenty years elapse, and Hare bell is supposed to be dead. Miss Steelman has become Lady Hope. Harebell's son has been adopted and educated by Sir Gerald, and is now grown to manhood. The neglected poems have been published, and, proud of the fame they have achieved, his countrymen have erected a statue to the dead poet, on the very spot where his cottage formerly stood. The day for uncovering the statue has arrived. A huge crowd—among it Lord Steel man, Sir Gerald and Lady Hope, has assembled to do honour to the ceremonial. One of the poet's best loved songs has been commenced, when a poor, decrepit figure, tottering in rags, creeps to the foot of the statue, and, in a broken-down, childish voice, sings the remainder of the old familiar ballad. All recognize the poor poet ; but too late. His reason returns but for an instant, and the heart broken bard dies in the arms of his son. Such is a mere outline of the general story. The play, as we saw it on the first night, is too long, and several scenes would greatly benefit by being curtailed. The second act particularly would bear consider able excision. Some of the characters, too, might be partially rewritten with great advantage. In the first act, for instance, Sir Gerald Hope appears, contrary to the author's intentions, in scarcely a less discreditable light than the mean, heartless L scoundrel ; George Brandon, lie knows that I3ran- Naval and Military Intelligence. The Lords of the Admiralty are expected to arrive at Portsmouth on Tuesday evening, from London, on their annual visit of inspection to the dockyard and other naval establishments at Ports mouth. There are no vessels building at Ports mouth, with the exception of an unarmed gun-ves sel and two or three insignificant composite and wooden double-screw gunboats, none of which will have great speed or great powers of any kind. The repairing work is widely scattered and of no inte rest. With the exception, indeed, of the new ex tension works of the yard, their will be found nothing to repay their lordships for the fatigue and trouble which necessarily attend their annual round of visits to the several yards on their call at Ports mouth, unless they should chance to strike a fresh groove and conduct their method of procedure at the port on this occasion on an entirely new principle. The Norwegian sloop-of-war Nomen left Ply mouth Sound on Saturday morning for Norway. Two vessels of war were launched at Chatham on Saturday afternoon, in the presence of a large num ber of spectators. The Blanche—the largest of the two vessels sent off the building stocks on Saturday —has been only about 17 months on hand, the first timber for her keel having been laid on the 27th of February of last year. She is of the Danae, Sappho, and Amazon class, and has been built from the de signs of Mr. E. J. Reed, the Chief Constructor of the Navy. The following arc her principal dimen sions :—Extreme length between perpendiculars, 212 ft. ; length of keel for tonnage, 185 ft. gin. ; extreme breadth, 36ft. ; breadth moulded, 35ft. 2in.; breadth for tonnage, 35ft. 9in. ; depth in hold 19ft. 4in. ; burden, 1,268 8-94 tons. With the exception of the deck-beams and bulk heads the Blanche is built entirely of wood and is unarmoured. She is destitute of defensive but possessed of the greatest offensive powers. Although the frames, planking, and tim bers of the Blanche are of wood, a free use has been made of iron whenever it has been found to be prac ticable, angle iron and stringer plates being worked into her frames, and plate iron bulkheads carried up to the maindeck, the result of this system of con struction being to impart enormous stiffness and rigidity to the entire structure. Her armament will consist of two 7 inch 6i ton and four of the improved 64 pounder muzzle loading guns, with two breech loading 12 pounders, and one 6 pounder Armstrong for boat and field service, her magazines being arranged for the stowage of a large supply of Palliser shot, and ammunition for the Snider naval rifles. The ceremony of christening the vessel was performed by Miss Dickens, daughter of Mr. Chas. Dickens, Gad's-hill, near Rochester. The Beacon, the other vessel launched at Chatham Dockyard on Saturday, is a twin screw gun vessel, and is the first of the squadron of vessels designed by the Chief Constructor of the Navy on what is known as the composite principle, her frame, keel, deck beams, and stringers being of iron, while her planking is of wood, in two layers, the inner being 3in. and the outer 2in. in thickness. She was commenced in Feb. last, and has been built in the short space of six months, in addition to which the iron frames for the Dwarf, a sister ship building at .Woolwich, have also been prepared at Chatham Dockyard. The Beacon is one of the squadron of ten double gun vessels ordered by the present Board of Admi ralty to be constructed for special service in China. She is built on perfectly flat midship sections, which will give her a light draught of water, not exceed ing at her deep load lino 7ft. 6in., enabling her to operate in rivers, harbours, and along the coast. The whole of these vessels will mount an arma ment of one 7 inch 6 ton and one 64 pounder pivot guns, arranged to fire either ahead, astern, or at the broadside. The engines of the Beacon are in preparation at the steam factory, and are collectively of 120 horse power (nominal), each driving its independent set of shafting for the port mod starboard screw. The engines have been taken Touhteroef willtwo gunboats built rs, daring th e Crimean war. which will be new, and, considering her light draught of water, the Beacon be threeb boilers, le is expected to attain a very fair rate of speed. The laun, , :ling ceremony was performed by Miss Stewart, daughter of Capt. W. Houston Stewart, C. 8., Superi atendent of Chatham Dockyard.
