Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 3lbs., at the cost of 5d., mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed for a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three quarterns of oats, costing na. 14 barrels'weigh net 1 ton 1 cwt., at 16s. per cwt., £l6 16s. net cash, free, delivered by my own waggons to any station in London.

Mr. James Bird, of Hammersmith, has announced his intention to give a prize of the value of £25, and two other prizes for second and third shots, to be competed for by members of the West Middle sex, St. George's, Queen's Westminster, South Middlesex, and the 36th Middlesex (Paddington) Rifles, &c. On Monday the Exeter and South Devon Volun teer Rifle Corps, under the command of Major Chichester; the let Devon ,Artillery Corps, under tlie - dexamaild , of Captain Brent; and the Exmouth Artillery Corps, under the command of Captain Divett, M.P., assembled on Coombe-hill, a spacious heath overlooking the estuary of the Exe, near the village of Woodbury, and had a sham fight. During the evolutions, Captain Harris, in command of one of the rifle companies, fell upon his sword, which penetrated his thigh and severely, although not dangerously, wounded him. Shortly afterwards two privates, belonging to the Ist Devon Artillery Corps, named Denscombe and Bradbeer, were wounded by the sudden explosion of one of the guns. Denscombe had his right hand shot off and his face much injured. He was taken to the Devon and Exeter Hospital in a precarious condition. The other man had his thumb split up, but he is doing well. A private in the Exeter and South Devon Rifle Corps, named Sanders, was also severely wounded in the head by a splinter from the same gun. Captain Henry, Inspector of Volunteer Artillery, was on the spot when the accident occurred —the cause of which is not yet accurately known, but we understand there will be an official inquiry into the circumstances. Barring these painful con tretemps, the review and sham fight went off well, the Volunteer troops having exhibited considerable martial efficiency in their various movements. The Ist Somerset company of Artillery Volun teers, Captain Sir A. H. Elton commanding, com menced practice with an 18-pounder gun at the battery at Clevedon, on Friday and Saturday, the 17th and 18th inst. The target was anchored 1,000 yards from the battery, and consisted of a cask secured to a wooden stage or platform. On the second day's practice a shot passed through the centre of the cask. Lieutenant Rothe, R.A., super intending the practice, expressed himself much pleased w ith the steadiness and efficiency of the Volunteers. The 2d battalion of Somerset Rifles were reviewed on Whit-Monday at Taunton. More than 600 as sembled, and the reviewing officer expressed in the highest terms his approbation of the manner in which the various evolutions were performed, more especially the precision in firing. On Tuesday the Nottingham or Robin Hood Rifles were inspected and reviewed by his Grace the Duke of Newcastle, K.G. An immense number of spectators from the town and the adjoining coun ties assembled in the Forest to witness the spectacle. The corps presented a steady and soldierlike ap pearance, and executed a variety of military evolu tions, under the command of Major Wright, in a manner which drew forth general applause. In the evening the officers entertained hs Grace and their brother officers at a sumptuous dinner at the Exchange-hall. On _Whit -Tuesday the various North Riding corps forming the 2d Bonn York Battalion, assem bled at Malton, and marched thence to Langton Wold, for review, by the Hon. Colonel W. E. Dun combe, M.P: So large and brilliant an assemblage never before met on the Word. The corps which took part in the movements were Malton, Scar borough, Pickering, Castle Howard, Hovingham, Ebbertson, Helmsley, and Thirsk—nearly 500 men in all. Each man was supplied with 25 rounds. The evolutions were gone through on the table land within the racecourse, but, owing to the vast num ber of spectators, estimated at from 8,000 to 9,000, the utmost confusion prevailed, the Volunteers and people being mixed up pell-mell. At the conclu sion of the review the corps occupied the ring be fore the grand stand, and were served with a pie and a pot of beer for each man, supplied at the expense of Colonel Duncombe. The 2d Hertfordshire battalion was reviewed by Earl Cowper, its Colonel, on Whit-Monday, in a field close to the town of Hertford. The trains on the Eastern Counties Railway and the splendid weather attracted a great concourse of spectators to witness the review. A brilliant gathering of the nobility honoured the Volunteers by their presence. Among these were the Lord Chancellor, (Lord Campbell), Lord Chelsea and Lady Jocelyn, Lady Palmerston, Lady Cowper and Ladies Cowper, the Marchioness of Salisbury and family, Sir Minto Farquhar, M.P., and Lady Farquhar, Lord Rayn ham, Marquis Townsend, and the Marchioness Townsend. The review commenced at 11 o'clock, under the command of Earl Cowper, assisted by Major Wilkinson, the ground being kept by Col. Robinson with a detachment of police. The bat talion was divided into seven companies, which al together mustered about 300 strong. The battalion movements were executed most satisfactorily. The volley and file firing were on the whole very good, although there were exceptions. At the close of the review the Volunteers dined in the Reading hall, Fore-street, under the presidency of Earl Cowper, who with other officers congratulated the troops on their efficiency and military skill. {ADVERTISEMENT.] --Among the numerous extraordi nary cures without medicine of indigestion, (dyspepsia) flatulency, constipation, nervous, bilious and liver com plaints, cough, asthma, consumption and debility, effected by Du Barry's delicious health restoring Revalenta Ara bica Food, the following are not the least remarkable : Cure No. 47,121.—" Miss Elizabeth Jacobs, of Nazing Vicarage, Waltham-cross, Herts ; a cure of extreme ner vousness, indigestion, gatherings, low spirits, and nervous fancies."

The Robin Hood Rifles, comprising ten com panies, under the command of Major Wright, were reviewed on Tuesday afternoon, the 22d inst., on the Forest Ground, near Nottingham, by his Grace the Duke of Newcastle. An. immense concourse of spectators assembled, the most influential families of the town and country being present. The regi ment went through its various manoeuvres in the most soldierlike manner. The firing of the Robin Hoods was frequently cheered by the immense number of spectators as sembled. A detachment of the South Notts Yeo manry Cavalry kept the ground. The Duke of Newcastle, wearing his uniform as Lord Lieutenant of the county, attended by a small staff, rode on to the ground at three o'clock, and at the close of the review addressed the men. The NOBLE DUKE said that the Robin Hood Regiment could not only march well together through parade movements, but it could also execute in a most admirable Manner some very difficult evolutions and manoeuvres through which the major had put it that day. He did not profess to understand infantry movements well, but he knew enough of them to say that the programme through which the Robin Hoods had just passed, consider ing the time the regiment had been established, was accomplished with wonderful regularity ; and he had greatly admired the regularity and correctness of their firing. He had watched narrowly, and did not see in any of those remarkable volleys which had just been fired a rifle out of which smoke did not come at precisely the sameelevation as the rest. Now he would state to them unhesitatingly that if he were not afraid in the presence of military men of saying too much, he should be induced to praise them more highly than would perhaps be becoming from a person in his position and connection with those matters. He did not of course mean to say that they had yet arrived at a state of perfection, but he did firmly believe that they were on the high road to it ; and of this he was certain, and he defied any military man on the ground to contra. diet him, that there was many a regiment of the line which had not executed many of the mansauvres they had performed, that day as efficiently and correctly as they had done. There was at that moment a body of volunteers greater, or at least certainly equal, to the whole of the British army of all arms, whether quartered in this country or in the other stations of the mighty empire of Britain. And how far had the movement accomplished its object ? It was established for the defence of the country, and even to prevent threats of invasion. Had that so far been achieved ? He said confi dently that the volunteer organisation had done more than any other single thing to increase the influence of England abroad, and it had also done what was almost as important—greatly restored confidence at home. They might every one of them who stood upon that ground feel that they had an individual share in those valuable and patriotic deeds, of increasing that influence and restoring that confidence. Well, then, had there been any alloy ? He could well understand that men might say influence abroad and confidence at home were valuable things, but they might be bought too dear. • They might be bought at a cost of social comfort and moral conduct. The population might have been deteriorated, whilst the country might have been for a time benefited. But had that been the case ? He was certain it had been quite the reverse. He would appeal to any man—the younger the better—in those ranks as to whether he did not feel himself a better citizen, and, in many respects, a better satisfied man in his domes tic and social relations than he did before, from the habits which he had acquired, the discipline which he had gone through, and the health which he was quite confident he had met with from the perform ance of those military duties. It had brought about a very great change in England, and he was con fident the change had improved the habits of a large portion of the youth of the country. He was confident that by a spirit of rivalry which would take place between the neighbouring counties, and throughout the whole of England, verygreat progress would be made, rather than if a mere isolated orga nisation had been adopted. But in order to render the volunteer force of real value in times to come they must take care that it was permanent. (Hear.) It must be entered upon for no mere sport, for no mere holiday amusement. He was confident that from the first they had intended that it should be permanent, and he was confident that everything they had done since the formation of that regiment had been done with those intentions. Their zeal had increased. If anything, it wanted rather keep ing in order than extending ; it required the reins rather than the spur. Their numbers were pro gressing, and there was every reason to believe that they looked upon that as a force to which every one of them must belong as long as age and health en abled them to retain their posts. Well, then, if he was not detaining them too long, might he say a few words to the officers upon a subject which he was confident, in the event of an invasion, would be of very material in_ - 11aq had seen that day upon the ground how readily men of intelli gence accomplished anything which they under took. In short, when a body of men such as they had in the town of Nottingham assembled together to form themselves into military bodies, how very soon they might learn their duties; but he believed soldiers could be made much more speedily and much more certainly than officers. Although offi cers might be enabled to work themselves up to a point for parade movements or battalion drill, they required a great deal more before they could be fit to encounter those serious duties which would de volve upon them in the event of their being called into active service. He did not mean these obser vations to be personal, or to have been elicited by anything which he had witnessed that day. Quite the reverse. He had been amazingly struck, not only with the accuracy of the officers, but in another thing, which he knew a military man would take great notice of—the little attempt they had made to drill their men upon an occasion like the present ; and still less did he mean it as a personal applica tion from any notion that the officers of that regi ment had as a general rule neglected to attempt to make themselves fitted for their duties. He knew the pains which many of those who had to per form important civil duties in the town ha d t t o qualify themselves for their military p os t s, and all that he desired was to say to the y oun g er one s w h o might be coming forward, that they must not ima gine they could make good officers and good sol diers without taking great pains, and that it was not fair such fine fellows as had enlisted in that regiment should be otherwise than well and effi ciently officered. He said just then that the organisation of volunteers had restored confidence at home, and had increased the influence of Great Britain on the continent and elsewhere. He knew the effect which was produced upon many hundred thousand foreigners who witnessed the scene in Hyde-park last summer, and he should not be sur prised if there were some even who had been in duced to come and see them here to-day ; and we might rely upon the volunteers of England being not otherwise than closely watched with anxiety and apprehension by the people of other nations. He said he should not be surprised if the same effect was not produced upon their minds. He hoped, however, the movement was looked upon with favour and affection by the great majority of people, as showing there was no surer protection and insurance of peace than the formation of such a body of sol diers as he saw around him. They were formed under very different circumstances to what the volunteers of their forefathers were. In 1806 they were formed, no doubt, in larger numbers than they were at that moment, though he believed by no means so efficient. They were formed at that time not merely to resist invasion—not merely to face a foreign foe, but, as the Acts of Parliament at that time indicate, for the suppression of internal rebel lion. Thank God such an event as that had not now to be dreaded.

Rear-Admiral Smart, commander in chief of the Channel Squadron, on Monday exercised the ships of the squadron lying in Plymouth Sound—namely, Conqueror, 101, Centurion, 80, Aboukir, 90—in making sail, shortening sail, and shifting topsails. We have received from a Malta correspondent the following letter, dated Valetta, May 18 ::—" In consequence of the damaged state of the steamer Malacca, having on board the Malta and Tripoli, and about half of the Tripoli and Bengazi portions of the Malta and Alexandria telegraph cable, some delay will occur in commencing the operation of laying this part of the line. The vessel is now in her Majesty's dockyard under repair, and it is not expected that she will be out of the hands of the workmen for at least a week. The cable has been tested since its arrival here, and with the exception of a few knots, damaged by having been coiled under water in the:dock, has been ascertained to be in perfect working order. Mr.Wildman Whitehouse, who was the chief electrician employed in laying the Atlantic cable, has arrived here on the part of Messrs. Glasse, Elliott, and Co." Her Majesty's paddlewheel steamer Cyclops, 6, 320 horse power, Capt. W. S. S. Pullen, which was paid off at Sheerness yesterday, has been in commis sion four years. She was commissioned at Sheer ness in May, 1857, by Lieutenant, now Commander, J. Dayman, and almost immediately afterwards proceeded, with a complement of only 75 men and a few officers, to make the necessary surveys, and to render assistance in laying the Atlantic telegraph cable. On the completion of this service she re turned to Portsmouth and refitted, when Capt. Pul len succeeded Lieut. Dayman in the command, on the 15th of Sept., 1857. After thoroughly refitting and receiving her full complement of officers, sea men, and marines, numbering 200 men, the Cyclops was ordered to proceed to the Red Sea, to make the required surveys for laying the Red .Sea Telegraph to India ; on which duty she has ever since been employed. The entire length of coast Cof the Red Sea from Aden and the Straits of Bab-el-Mandeb to Suez, and thence along the Nubian and Abyssinian coasts, has been most minutely surveyed, and a rich store of facts in physical geography and natural history recorded. After completing the survey of the Red Sea, which occupied several months, the Cyclops pro ceeded some distance along the coast of the Arabian. Gulf to the Kooria-mooria Islands, and thence to Muscat and Kurrachee—the route taken by the Red Sea Telegraph. After leaving Kurrachee she proceeded to Ceylon, and thence along the Malabar coast to Pondicherry and Madras, to complete the survey. The entire length of coast surveyed by the Cyclops is nearly 2,000 miles. A number of valuable specimens of natural history, consisting of subma rine insects, corals, plants, and other interesting objects found at the bottom of the Red sea, some at a depth of no less than 5,000 fathoms, have been brought home for the British Museums. These spe cimens, contained in five cases, together weighing about one ton, were carefully landed by Mr. D. Bar nard, the Customs' agent, to be forwarded to Lon don. In consequanoo of the nranons nature of4he duties on which she was engaged, the Cyclops has been obliged to be docked three times at Bombay to effect repairs. She left Bombay for England on the 22d December last. Out of the officers who ori ginally left England in the Cyclops only four return with her, the remainder having either been inva- lided and sent home or transferred to other vessels. The officers who returned in the ship are Captain Pullen, Lieut. LW. Armstrong, H. It. Harris, mas ter, and the Rev. C. B. Haslewood, chaplain. Only about 120 of the crew who originally joined re mained in the ship on its being paid off. Notwith standing the severe nature of the duties on which the officers and crew were engaged and the number of miles (between 60,000 and 70,000) sailed and steamed over, the crew have been generally healthy, only four deaths having occurred on board during the whole time the Cyclops has been in commission. On the steamer being paid off Capt. Pullen called the crew aft and addressed them, expressing his general satisfaction with their conduct during the four years they had been under his command, and hoping to have as many of them as he possibly could in any other ship to which he might be appointed. The Lords of the Admi ralty have awarded medals and gratuities of £l5 each for long service and exemplary con duct to Patrick Burn, master-at-arms ; George Lundy, quartermaster; and Charles Tyler, leading stoker. The Adelaide screw transport, No. 18, G. E.Bird, master, the arrival of which at Spithead from China was announced in The Sun of yesterday, has been much delayed during the latter portion of the voyage by strong northerly and N.E. winds. This vessel has brought home some interesting speci mens of natural history, presented by the Hon. G. Grey, Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, to the Royal Zoological Gardens, Regent's-park, and brought to England in charge of Mr. Banister. The Herald, 8, surveying -vessel, 500 tons, Capt. H. M. Denham, arrived at Sheerness on the night of Tuesday, from the Feejee Islands, having been in commission since the 18th of February, 1852. She has been engaged in surveying the coasts of Aus tralia, New Zealand, &c., the following officers having served on board the whole time :—Capt. H. M. Denham, Lieut. John Hutchinson, Master W. F. Parsons, additional—J. I. Smith and Edward Wilds ; Surgeon Frederick M. Rayner, and Pay- master John Freshfield. The Herald was built in 1823, and was employed on the East India and China stations from 1838 to 1842, during the first China war, under the command of Capt. Jos. Nias, and for upwards of five years as a surveying ship. under Capt. Kellett, C.B. She was minutely in spected by Vice-Admiral J. W. Hope Johnstone yesterday, after which she was towed by the African steam-tug to Chatham, to dismantle and pay off into ordinary. The Rosario, 11, screw steam-sloop, 150-horse power, and the Zebra, 17, screw steam-sloop, 200- horse power, arrived at Sheerness from Woolwich. yesterday. The paddlewheel steamer Adder, Mr. Blakey c ommanding, tender to the Wellesley, 72, is under going some repairs in Chatham Harbour ; her rudder has been removed in order to be increased in size. Several of the largest and most powerful of the machines to be employed in preparing the plates and slabs of iron which will be used in the construc tion of the Achilles, 40, at Chatham, have been erected in the new workshop erected by Messrs. Grissell, under the direction of Mr. Baker, chief engineer at this dockyard, and every effort is being made to have the remainder of the machinery fixed THE ARMY.

Hassard, 94th Regiment. Yesterday Major-General Eyre, commanding the forces in the Chatham district, had the three batta lions of infantry and the battalion of Royal Marine Light Infantry assembled on Chatham lines for the purpose of enabling them to go through the various evolutions incidental to a brigade field-day, in which the troops were occupied about three hours. Yesterday Major-General Eyre inspected the 30th (Captain Creyke's) Company of Royal Engi neers, under orders to embark for Corfu, on the Parade-ground at Brompton, when the Company, which has been augmented to its full complement, was found to be in a most efficient and satisfactory state. The 30th Company will, according to pre sent arrangements, leave head-quarters, Chatham, on Saturday, to embark for Corfu, where it relieves the 9th Company, which returns to England.

The colours of the old Royal Westminster Volun teers of 1804 will be presentea to the Queen's (Westminster) Rifles on Saturday, the Ist of June. The corps will assemble at half-past 4 o'clock at Westminster-hall, &rid march to the parade ground in the rear of the Horse Guards, where the presen tation will take place. The match for the Fitz william Challenge Cup of the West Middlesex Rifles has been fixed for Satur day, June 29. It will take place by permission of Sir R. Dacres at the Government butts, Woolwich. Any number of men nor exceeding five will be al lowed to compete from the undermentioned corps— The West Middlesex, the Victoria, the Queen's Westminster, the Inns of Court, the Paddington, the 40th Middlesex, the London Welsh, and all regiments or corps of volunteers, whether engineers, artillery, rifles, or mounted rifles in South Wales. The competitors are to fire five shots each, at the ranges of 800, 900, and 1,000 yards, at regulation targets. On Whit-Monday about 400 members of the 3d City Rifles were reviewed by Col.

Long might this state of things exist. He did mot fear any material, nay, he might say any change ; but he looked forward to a continuance of a time like the present, when England is the home of the friendless, the refuge of every foreigner in distress, and the receptacle for every man who is driven in consequence of his political opinion, or any other cause, from his own country.

(From the Manchester Examiner.) Most of the public benevolent associations which are, -esta blished in this country are favoured by ministers of reL igi on with a direct mode of appeal to the pockets of the oh arit able. They have their annual sermons and services,. their regular congregational contributions and subscriptions, and their claims are a regularly recognised part of religio.tis principle. Schools, hospitals, infirmaries, clothing, socie ties, missionary associations, and many others of a similar character come under this head, but the National Lifeboat Institution, one of the very grandest of our associations, is not yet acknowledged in that public form. Mere and there a collection is made in some parish chureb on the coast, where the parishioners have witnessed the awful effects of a storm at sea. aria have ..itnossed, too, the splendid exer- tions of a lifeboat crew ; but., these are desultory efforts. They pass away with the storm which called them forth, and they slumber till another mischance awakens th eir kindly interest. The advocacy of the Lifeboat Institution is therefore left to the press; and though this method pre cludes the important addition of sending round the plate when the feeling is warm, yet it has done a great deal for the institution, and our annual sermon will not be preached in vain if we merely direct public attention to the merits of this association. The institution is now established by Royal charter. This privilege, indeed, adds nothing to its public claims, but it gives to it a public standing, and in a measure places it on a more durable foundation. As the report says," The insti-. tution now stands on a solid and enduring basis, and it ha a assumed a greater national importance." It is now legally entitled to possess, through the bequests of deceased per sons, or otherwise, landed property to the amount of £2,000 a year, a most valuable privilege, when anyone can be form , I wise enough to provide in this way for the permanent use fulness of the association. But there is a fashion too, even. in charity and benevolence, which makes the incorporation of the Lifeboat Institution a matter of policy. It is not that kindly sympathies are evoked merely because great people patronise a useful institution, but it is because the institution itself gains publicity by the act. Sympathies are communicated in this manner. Interests are created' which were not felt before. When her gracious Majesty "pronounces" in favour of any institution, the institution directly obtains a national claim. The imperial recognition does not create merit ; it recognises it and stamps it with approval, and the merit thus publicly acknowleiged passes current through society. Hence the incorporation of the Lifeboat Institution may be widely useful to it in a pecu niary sense, and as her Majesty has further become an annual subscriber to the funds of the society, none of her liege subjects, whose means will allow it, can refuse to fol low the royal example. With respect to the services performed by the institution, there is a terrible sameness in their character, though the records are ever new and ever interesting. It is the same story in one sense, but the details are infinitely varied. It is always a " brave ship" in distress, always the " winds and the seas roaring," always some " poor souls" who aro in the direst extremity of danger. Happily, too, we may say, through the instrumentality of the Lifeboat Associa tion, it is nearly always the same story on the humane side. The lifeboat is always ready, and a bravo crew at hand. Our readers will not have forgotten that terrible scene at. Whitby, for terrible it was in every sense. A lifeboat, not, it may be said hero, belonging to the National Institution, had saved the lives of five ships' crews. On the sixth - voyage, a wave upset the lifeboat, and all but one of the gallant fellows who made up the crew were swept int') eternity; yet a fresh crew stept into another old condemned lifeboat immediately. Now, there was a grandeur about that act which really ennobles humanity. These men de served to have the Victoria cross of valour pinned on their breasts by the hands of her Majesty. The foe they met, and the " imminent deadly breach" they scaled would have appalled any but the bravest of the brave, and yet our coasts are lined with such men. This is indeed the pre vailing feature, the beautiful sameness of the records of the institution ; the novelty consists in the parts of the coast where the gallant act was performed, and in those awful incidents which the varying features of the coast and the accompanying destructiveness of wind and tide afford. Here are a few of the incidents re 'Rl:if! ( Wig ,: j am*. N cgt. s thp e l e c k t: d f:-.7i ey +) , g a i , n -rz am, Sca ds, C T uTI coats. Six men were saved by the lifeboat. It was an awful scene, of which the newspapers at the time gave a full description. People were gathered on the shore in hundreds, and in their sight the seamen of the Lovely Nelly were saved. But one poor boy was left behind. lie was afraid to jump into the lifeboat, and ere he could gather courage to take the leap, a wave swept away the masts of the ship, and the poor lad was never seen alive again. On the same day five men were saved on the Doomed Bar Bank, Padstow, from the brigantine Nugget, of Bideford. From January Ist to the 6th, 14 lifeboats performed eminent ser vices ; 32 men were saved, and one vessel was brought safely into harbour. But sometimes darkness is added to the perils which the lifeboat men encounter in their exertions on the stormy deep. At Lyme Regis, for instance, the word was given during one of the winter months that a vessel was in the offing in distress. It was night and " pitchy dark." A strong gale was blowing, and a heavy surf beat on the shore, but the lifeboat men felt that duty called, and they did not hesitate. They went to sea as if it were to their firesides they were going, and they were successful in saving a ship's crew. The brief narrative of this adventure tells US that very few on shore believed the lifeboat "would ever return," the night was so awful ; " it was sufficient to ap pal anyone entering the lifeboat." But the crew went, as we have stated, and were successful ; and the only record which exists of the adventure, beyond what we have told, unless it lives in the memory of the men who were saved, is that the coxswain's name was Thomas Bradley. The simplicity of these records, contrasted with the bril liant services they describe, adds a strong charm to the " short and simple annals" of the Lifeboat Institution. There is no superfluity of description, there is no attempt to add to the sublimity of the event by any high-flown or heroic language, it is simply recorded as a fact, and a fact it is of the most sterling character. The report just published presents a new feature this year. The cost of the services is placed opposite the services rendered. For instance, the six men belonging to the brig Lovely Nolly, mentioned above, were saved for the sum of £l2 Os. 6d. At Portmadoc, in a heavy gale with a terrific surf, 17 men were saved for £l4. That is about 17s. a head, and flesh and blood is i9 cer tainly cheap at that rate. The Carnsore life boat saved ense persons at a cost of £22 14s.

There • is another instance re. which shows bow . corded of a similar character. Two ladies, in memory of a departed sister, placed a lifeboat at Llandudno, in North Wales, and called it the Sister's Memorial, The memory of departed worth, or departed affection, could not be preserved in a more fitting manner. The memorial is all goodness and all mercy, and has lees of the taint of the world in it than anything else that could be mentioned. It is to keep these benevolences in active operation —to endow them for ever, as it were—that the Lifeboat Institution appeals to the public. It is an appeal that will stand kny test—a cause that all can assist in—and 1 a cause that only requires to be known to be placed beyond the necessity of an appeal. THE PRINCE IMPERIAL'S SUBSTITUTE.—" It is not generally known" that the Prince Imperial has been promoted to the rank of corporal of the Bth squad of the Ist battalion of the Ist Regiment of Grenadiers ; he is in scribed in the regimental list as Eugene Louis Jean Joseph Napoleon. The little prince, it seems, is allowed to perform his regimental duties by deputy. This deputy, one Corpo ral Mugaritz, deserted a few days ago, with some of the regimental money in his possession, and has since been ap prehended and sentenced to five , years' imprisonment with hari )91nr. ~j R
