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 ment 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 tic. The firing generally was very good. This compe tition, it is believed, will be abandoned by the Association. 'ER MARKET—SATunD THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 19, 1867.

',Brandon pays him, and Hope is male pra - ;tically, if not literally, to say, " Well, you have paid the, and I will hold my tongue." Again, at the end of the third act, it wou'd have been inter se'y 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. Wills is more than fortunate to have secured so truthful l an interpreter of the exceptionally beautiful character of James Harebell. Mr. Vezin 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-Ihr the - ftidietice lathel eche where he listened to the accusations brought against Brandon ; his mute but eloquent appeal to' him to hurl back 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 b3auties 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 are now coin pleted, and, weather permitting, the column will ' leave ca:np to-trmrrow, under the command of Major-Gen. 11. Renny, commanding the Ist In fantry Brigade at Aldershot. It will be composed of a field battery of Royal Artillery, the 51,th, ofith, 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, bad 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 iDuke of Albany's Own) Highlanders, 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 flftfik in quarter distance column en masse. They then wheeled to the right, countermarched and marched past by brigades in line of contiguous columns, - 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 Iri,h) 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. The following appointments were made on Satur day at the Admiralty :—Sub-Lieut. W. M. Annesley to the Minotaur ; Navigating Sub-Lieut. Walter S. Chambre to the Dee ; J. B. Hay, Naval Cadet, to the Victory ; E. E. Richmond, assist.-paymaster in charge, to the Jaseur ; and C. P. Skinner, assist.- paymaster, to the Lion. THE PRINCESS'S THEATRE. 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 Aran 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 Iloltier, entitled, " Lorbeerbaura and Bettelsla,b," 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. Ilis means are ample, and he has a charming wife and " twa bairnies," whom he loves with infinite tenderness. Ile 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 o•amblino• t , 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 Ilarebell, and by a false but art fully concocted story, succeeds in extracting from him the 1200, which is literally all that llarebell 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 llarebell 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 atmosphere, 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 talc 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, afid finally gives way, and he staggers from the room a madman. Twenty yearn 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 hard dies in the arms of his. eon. Such i s a mere outline of the general story. The play, as we saw it on the first night, is too loi lg, and several scenes would greatly benefit by b Bing curtailed. The second act particularly would bear consider able excision. Some of the chara'Aers, too, might be partially rewritten with greats advantage. In the first act, for instance, Sir Gerald hope appears, contrary to the author's intentions, in scarcely a less discreditable light than th(3 mean, heartless notuadrel, George Braduclo, laws that Bran- 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 are 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 line 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 G 4 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 horsepower (nominal), each driving its independent set of shafting for the port and starboard screw. The engines have been taken out of two gunboats built daring the Crimean war. There will be three boilers, which will be new, and, considering her light draught of water, the Beacon is expected to attain a very fair rate of speed. The launching ceremony was performed by Miss Stewart, daughter of Capt. W. Houston Stewart, C. 8., Superintendent of Chatham Dockyard. The undermentioned officers have been granted commanders' naval pensions of £65 a year, vacant by the promotion of the following officers placed on the reserve half-pay ou the Ist ult.:—Caps. THE VOLUNTEERS. On Saturday the annual prize meeting of the London Rifle Brigade opened at Plaistow in a com petition for prizes of 20 guineas and less, presented by the City companies. The competitions were limited to the " extra efficients," a term which, as applied to those volunteers who, in addition to un dergoing the required number of drills, fire the GO rounds in class and pass, at least, into the second " period." The firing was at 200, 500, and 600 yards, seven shots at each range, but the prizes will be awarded only to those competitors who shoot twice over the ranges, awl make the highest aggre gate scores. The first prize, value 20 guineas, is presented by the Merchant Taylors' Company ; the second, value 15 guineas, by the Goldsmiths' Com pany ; the third, value 10 guineas, by the Drapers' Company ; the fourth, value 9 guineas, also by the Goldsmiths' Company ; the fifth, sixth, and seventh, to the amount of 20 guineas, are given by the ward of Cheap. The eighth and ninth, to the amount of 10 ghineas, by the Salters' Company, and the three last, to the same amount, are given by the Fish mongers' Company. The shooting occupied all day on Saturday, and at its close only the first stage had been fired. There was a very strong wind prevail ing the whole of the day, necessitating constant aim off the target at 600 yards, but some good scores w ere made notwithstanding. Sixty—one being re gistered by Private Law, 57 by Private Wyatt and Colour-sergeant Churchill, the well-known shot, and Sergeant Drane also stood well. The prizes to be competed for during the week are presented by Colonel Warde, General Sir G. Bowles, K.C.8., Major Aderman Sir W. A. Rose, and other officers, and by the City companies. Only three individual citizens—namely, Mr. Joseph Fenn, Mr. Bannister, and Messrs. Silver—appear in the prize list as donors. The firing was conducted under the man agement of the adjutants, Captains Ewens and O'Callaghan. The annual prize meeting of Lord Abercorn's company of the London Scottish was lately held at the Wimbledon ranges. The Abercorn challenge vase, value £52, was declared to be won for the year by Quartermaster Strachan, he having won it the greatest number of times in monthly comneti tions between January till June. The chathpion badge of the company was won by Private White. Two series of prizes were shot for, and Private Sharer won the first, value £7, of the first series ; Sergeant Baillie, the winner of the St. George's Vase at the last Wimbledon meeting, won the second; and the other winners were Corporal A. Scott, Pri vate White, Private Murray, and Sergeant Michie. In another series Sergeant Baillie won a small-bore rifle, given by Mr. Kerr, of the London Armoury Company, the inventor of the Kerr rifle ; Quarter master Strachan won a sporting gun value four guineas ; Private Murray won a London Armoury Company rifle, and Private - White a desk value two guineas. Several of the many companies of the London Irish, which is now looked upon as the strongest Metropolitan corps, so far as efficient members are concerned, fired at Milton, near Gravesend, for the annual array of prizes, the great majority of which had been presented by the officers.

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 return 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 organisation and labours of the Reform League, although so great a step has been gained in the extension of the suf frage.

THE GREAT MATCH FOR THE SCULLING CHAU PIONSirtP. —Brown has replied to Hamill's challenge, by a brief acceptance—the race to be rowed on the Hudson, five miles, for $2,000 a side. The long and muddy controversy which ensued upon the late match for the championship has left everybody very much in doubt as to who is the bettor man—Brown or Hamill, although Brown is officially the champion; consequently, it would be well for bo take up their oars to train for tho coming contest, which will bring the matter to a final and sa fatisfactory conclusion. Brown has shown his willingness, in ct, eagerness, to make the match, by yielding to Hamill the choice of water, amount of stakes, and distance . Hamill will probably be equ generous when the preliminaries are arranged, by a saibLing to remove all obstacles iu the way of a satisfactory adjust ment.— Wit Zee's Spirit ~/the Times. RAILWAY COMPANIES V. WELSHERS. --There have been two large captures of the betting fra ternity at Reading for attempting to defraud railway a ces at com panies by travelling w ithout tickets. After the ra Oxford on Thursday evenin g there was a great rush et the Great Western Railwa y station to get o ff by the special train, and the offic ials were satisfied that setrainvera left l had en t ere d carriages witho ut tickets. After the 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 and lodged in the cells of the Reading police-station for the night. On Friday morning they were taken before Cap tain Purvis and Mr. Andrews, two magistrates for the borough, an d charged w i t h a ttempting to de fraud the railway company'. The eight were convicted. Six were ordered to pay a penalty of 40s. each and costs, and a man and his bon 12 years of age, ascertained to be very p o or, were fined is. and c osts. The penalty of 40s. and co sts was paid by o no Edward Smith, upon w lshom was for f o und £3 Os. 5d., and T homas Bishton paid the . cost himself and boy, but the remaining six were committed to R ea ding gaol for a fortnig ht.
