REMARKABLE DISCOVERY AT ALDERSHOT. — On Monday morning some workmen who were removing earth near the Royal Horse Artillery barracks, South Camp, Aldershot, discovered the skull of a person who had evi dently met with a violent death many years ago. The skull, which appeared to be that of a full-grown man, was pierced at the top with a gunshot wound, and there was a slug wound in one of the eyes, with the slug remaining in it. A part of the jaw bone seemed to have rotted away, and a sur geon gave it as his opinion that the skull had been in the ground 12 or 14 years at least. The present site of the camp was a wild heath a few years ago, and the neighbourhood is associated with many tales of the exploits of highway men. No other remnants of a human being, except the skull, were found by the workmen, and that has been placed in the hands of the police, who are instituting inquiries ro apeetitag it, The interest of the Wimbledon display reached its culminating point yesterday. While the people's Representatives in Parliament assembled were slaving drearily through bill and estimate, the people themselves flocked to the wide, sunny heath of Wimbledon. What could be more appro priate on the Queen's birthday than that marks men of her dominions should hold their final contest for the proud distinction of the Queen's Prize ? The competition was open in the wisest sense to all comers. No one could allege that in this instance civil service examiners barred the way to honour or advantage ; the only qualification insisted upon was that the candidate should have shown his patriotism by connecting himself with the national force. Nay, if anything, the terms of invi tation seemed rather too universal, for the well drilled Volunteer, who had possibly never handled a rifle till he joined his regiment, might and, no doubt, would be called upon to test his skill against a practised deer-stalker. It was not the steadiest shot at a particular range, nor the man who, consi dering his regimental opportunities, had used them to greatest effect ; it was emphatically the " best man" whom the Council of the National Rifle Asso ciation sought to discover and reward. The events of the preceding days, however interesting in themselves, were consequently but a pre lude to the crowning contest, in which, the less efficient marksmen being gradually dis tanced, the more fortunate competitors assumed positions of greater prominence. The order of yes terday's proceedings, as has been already stated, was as follows :—Each of the 40 competitors for the Queen's prize shot finally with Whitworth rifles at 800, 900, and 1,000 yards' range. The Whitworth rifle was adopted at these long ranges partly be cause it is more reliable than the Enfield in all distances above 600 yards, and partly because, being a weapon new to most Volunteers, the prac tice they were enabled to make with it would be an additional test of their skill and judgment. One of the competitors being absent, the remaining 39 were formed into two squads and fired at different targets. Five of the candidates retired during the contest, and the interest of the match lay practically with the following gentlemen, who all made excel lent scores :—Mr. Jopling (2d South Middlesex), Mr. Bingham (Bristol), Lord Bury (Civil Service), Mr. Brooks (12th Middlesex), and Mr. Rowe (Ist Devon). Mr. Duggan and Mr. Moir, who at shorter ranges were the favourites in public esti mation, fell completely behind ; but it is right to state that Mr Duggan had never previously fired at a range exceeding 600 yards. In the last round the interest was keenly excited to discover whether the five leaders would retain their foremost places. Mr. Brooks and Mr. Rowe each lost a point, and were thereby reduced to the second rank ; but time after time the signal flags responded to the shots of Mr. Jopling, Mr. Bingham, and Lord Bury, and at the close of the match their scores exhibited a triple " tie" of 18. The total score made by the 40 can dates was as follows : BCO. 900. 1,000 Total. South Middlesex 6 .. 6 6 .. Mr. Bingham, Bristol .. 11 .. 4 3 ..

The appreciation evinced by the spectators of the skill of the competitors was such that during the closing rounds their anxiety became almost feverish. The suspense, apparently interminable, which stretches on " Derby day" between the rush of horses and the winning post, affords the only simile at all comparable to the excitement prevailing. Ultimately, when General Hay came forward and declared that, according to the rules of the Associa tion, Mr. Jopling, having distanced his present compeers at the previous ranges, was entitled to the coveted distinction, popular enthusiasm broke all bounds, and not satisfied with an outburst of cheer ing, for which even Wimbledon-common seemed to confined an area, his friends, relatives, and admirers swept down on the successful candidate, and bore him off in triumph. The following comparative statement of the shooting made by the four competitors whose names head the list puts the superiority of Mr. Sopling in a very clear light, and exhibits the grounds on which the award of the Council was made. At the long ranges, as already stated, the total score of three of these gentlemen amounted to [B. In the earlier stages the points obtained by hem had been : 200 500 600 Yds. Yds. Yds. Total, Jopling ll 5 4 20 Bingham 7 5 7 19 Bury (Lord) Rowe 6 8 4 18 Adding those 20 points to the 18 obtained yester day Mr: Jopling's score mounts up to 38—a number of which Mr. Bingham's score, the next highest, falls short by one point. Mr. Jopling, who, in gaining the Queen's Prize, receives with it the Gold Medal of the association, thus taking his " double-first," and becoming the champion shot of England, unlike his predecessor, Mr. Ross, is one who owes his inspiration and train ing entirely to the Volunteer movement. His in structor, in common with Lord Bury, who so nearly obtained the first place, was Sergeant Potter, at tached to the Hythe School of Musketry. Mr. Jopling, it may be interesting to add, holds office in the Adjutant-General's department, and belongs to the 10th (War-office) Company of the 2d South Middlesex. His successes, it would appear, are not confined to the rifle range ; for the picture which, as an amateur artist, he contributed to this year's exhibition was criticised in a favourable spirit. Looking at the results of the shooting as a whole, the Metropolitan corps, especially the South Mid dlesex and Civil Service, must be admitted to have upheld most creditably the fame of the capital, and to have done something towards solving the debated queption of " the defence of London." Three corps had each two members in the 40—viz., the South Middlesex, Civil Service, and Bristol ; but three of the best men at yesterday's long ranges all belonged to metropolitan regiments. Among those who figure in the selected list we find that 10, or one-fourth of the entire class, belong t o Middlesex cor p s ; in ad dition to whom a representative is contributed by the let Surrey, who cannot, perhaps, be strictly re. garded as falling within the metropolitan boundary. It is also a curious fact that the rivalry between the South Middlesex and the . Civtl Service corps was not confined to the instances already mentioned ; but the names of Mr. Milner of the former, and Mr. Plaskett of the latter occur closo together lower down in the list, each having scored 11. The ex cellent shooting of the South Middlesex Rifles is doubtless attributable, to some extent, to the fact that they possess two capital ranges—one at Cater ham, capable, if necessary, of being increased to 2,000 yards, and one at Beaufort-house of 300 yards. The 40 Whitworth rifles which were yesterday used by the competitors had all been selected by General Hay himself, and were distributed to the men by lot ; but General Hay declared he should not know which of them to select, except, perhaps, one with the handsomest stock. Neither the Duke of Cambridge nor the Duke of Wellington's prizes were decided, but a double series of extra prizes given by the society was com peted for with the following result : For the first series of seven shots at SOO yards, the following was the order of merit :—Mr. Leece (Manchester), Major Moir (Stirling), Mr. Edward Ross (Cambridge University), Mr. MacFarlane (Australian Free Rifles), and Mr. Thornbury (Vic toria Rifles). The second series of extra prizes offered for the best five shots at 600 yards was awarded in the following order :—Sergeant Jeston (Civil Service), Mr. H. T. Dickens (Victoria Rifles), Mr. Compton (2d South Middlesex), Capt. Wigram (Coldstreams), Mr. Porter (Queen's Westminster). In consequence of the anxiety which is expressed by the Volunteers for additional opportunities of increasing their skill under the auspices of the asso ciation, the council have determined to set apart Friday next, and the earlier part of Saturday, for shooting at the butts. It is expected that some very interesting matches between picked shots, which are in course of arrangement, will increase the in terest which this announcement is certain to create. We are authorised to state that his Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge did not select Wim bledon as the place for reviewing the Volunteers on Saturday next ; but that the ground was fixed upon by the National Rifle Association. His Royal Highness was simply requested to inspect those of the metropolitan and other corps who chose to assemble there—not in grand review, but as a simple drill. His Royal Highness has nothing to do with the arrangements, further than giving every facility in his power, in order that the wishes of those interested may be carried into effect. THE COMET. In Monday's sitting of the French Academy of Sciences, M. Leverrier expressed himself as fol lows .—" We do not know this comet ; it is the first time it visits us, and those who have endea voured to predict its course, determine its distance from the earth, and measure its tail, have either deceived themselves or the public. Three elements are necessary to calculate the orbit of a comet ; first, the exact position of the star ; then, its velocity ; and lastly, the variation of velocity produced by the mass of the sun. I caused the comet to be observed on the 30th of June, and then on the night of the Ist, and the morning of the 2d inst., in order to determine the variation of velocity. These three observations would have followed too closely upon each other for the cal culation to be attempted, were it not that the comet moves very rapidly. On the 3d, at 10 a.m. M. Levy brought me the result of his calculations, and we then obtained an insight into the orbit of the comet. Mr. Hind has since sent me the orbit calculated by the English astronomers, which per fectly agrees, in all but two minutes, with our re sults. It is now positive that this is not Charles the Fifth's comet ; and, moreover, it resembles none of those already observed. This circum stance will contribute not a little to throw con fusion upon the little we know of these erratic bodies. I cannot yet say whether this comet is periodical or not ; its orbit up to this day has been too cursorily determined to enable us to pronounce it elliptical, parabolical, or even hyperbolical. At any rate appearances are against its return, for the orbit is nearly perpen dicular to the plane of the ecliptic, while those of periodical comets usually form a very small angle with that plane. It is only now we can de termine the distance of the comet from - the earth, and the length of its tail. On the 30th of June, the line joining the centre of the sun with that of the comet made an angle of four degrees with that joining the centres of the sun and earth, the length of which is known. The angle which this line formed with the visual ray, drawn from the eye of the observer to the centre of the comet, was 24 degrees. The triangle thus formed may, therefore, be calculated, and it gives us the distance of the comet from the earth, amounting to between six and seven millions of leagues (about seventeen millions of miles English). The length of Ithe tail might be similarly calculated. The comet is rapidly moving away from us, and it is, therefore, not sur prising that its brilliancy has diminished. On the 10th it will be equally distant from the sun and earth ; we shall soon lose sight of it, and astrono mers only will be able to follow it for about a month longer. It presents a singular peculiarity. M. Chacornac has studied the nucleus with one of M. Foucault's telescopes of a diameter of 40 centimetres; instead of its being hollow like the half of an egg shell, like most of the comets already observed, it presents the appearance of a sun composed of fire works, the bent rays of which burn in the same sense. Moreover, the comet has not drawn nearer to the sun. These are all circumstances calculated to introduce great complications into the theory of comets." THE STOCK OF COTTON. The stock of cotton in Liverpool has not at pre sent seriously declined, although the tendency is now in that direction. The movement during the last three months has been as follows : Stock, 1861, Stock, 1860. Bales. Bales.

The real difficulty will, of course, arise towards the end of the year, when the delivery of the crop at present growing in the Southern States should commence. The proportion borne by Ameriean cotton to the totals given above was as follows in the first and last weeks of the period under notice : Stock, April 5. Stock, July 5. Bales. Bales, American .. 790,570 .. 838,060 Surat _ 95,040 .. 202,600 Brazil _ .. 16,590 19,580 Egyptian .. 37,600 46,510 West Indies, &c. 2,530 1,550 The quantity of American cotton at sea for Liver pool at the commencement of present month was 87,500 bales, and of Surat 219,623 bales, as com pared with 98,440 bales of American and 109,33 4 bales of Surat at the corresponding period of 1860. At the commencement of April the quantity at sea for Liverpool was estimated at 225,000 bales of American and 244,26 5 bales of S urat, as compared with 252,600 bales of American and 118,246 bales of Surat at the corresponding date of 1860. Alto gether these figures show that the ordinary course of trade has been at present very little disturbed. Mr. Haywood, secretary of the Manchester Cotton Supply Associati on, is now en route for India, from which large additional supplies have been this year forthcoming. In the first six months of the current year the average weekly consumption has been 43,850 bales, as compared with 47,494 bales per week in 1860. PROLIFIC BIRTII.—On Thursday, the 27th of June, the wife of Thomas Mitchell, chairmaker, 6, Great George-street, St. John-street, Brick-lane, Bethnal-green, was safely delivered of three fine boys, who, with the mother are alive and doing well. The parents of these three boys are poor, hard-working people, and having had before this large addition to their family seven children, they are placed in great pecuniary difficultieo, A deputation on the above subject had view with Viscount Palmerston at Cambridge-house yesterday morning. The special object was to pre :.,ent to his lordship a memorial founded on certain resolutions adopted at a conference held at Lord Brougham's residence on the lOth ult. The depu tation consisted of Lord Brougham, Mr. C. Gilpin, M.P., Mr. S. Gurney, M.P., Mr. C. Buxton, M.P., Mr. H. Pease, M.P., Hon. A. Kinnaird, M.P., the Rev. Dr. Carlile, Dr. Norton Shaw, Messrs. W. Allen, R. Forster, J. Forster, J. Heather, F. Wheeler, G. Volcker, A. W. Hanson, R. Campbell, C. Sevin, J. R. Burchett, J. Cooper, D. Chinery, R. Alsop, 0. Ralston, E. Miles, J. Perry, and L. A. Chameravzow. jEwecoa L ts:l o ted r hr, d BROUGHAM, in introducing the deputation, alluded to the gratifying intellir , ence,just mo r il e ni c ead e sut i u v icli i " , e d dts: that the Emperor of the French had abolished the so-called free immigration of negroes from the Eastern e if At necessary, isocaafrnyA,Gf resort c vs a oe , rr ntandmeve even n x t p tno r l t i - fg s oh ; re might ha forcible ae h notwithstanding the extreme delicacy of the sub to put an end to the present system of carrying slaves to Cuba under the American flag. Mr. C. BUXTON said he trusted the Government to put a stop to the like exportation of slaves at Wydah, in the dominions of the King of Dahomey, and would consent to place consuls at various points of the Eastern Coast of Africa. After a few words from Mr. J. FORSTER, one of the patriarchs of the Ant i- S la very movement, Lord PALMERSTON, in reply, expressed his wil lingness to take such steps as might appear desir able and prudent in order to put a stop to the slave trade. It was owing to the determination of the British Government, more than to anything e l se , that the Portuguese and the Brazilian Governments had abolished the traffic. But the Portuguese Government, although willing to carry out their treaty obligations with this country, had to deal with very corrupt officials in distant settlements.. Spain had acted with great insincerity, and, lyq doubt, had given atip:**tittifvtat if this country chose to resort to forceio compel her to carry out ker deliberate engagements. He . doubted, hoW ever, if the House of Commons would respond to a call for war on such grounds at the present mo ment. What he (Lord Palmerston) had stated in the House of Commons on the subject the other night had made the Government of Spain very angry with him ; but he believed they immediately sent off a certain number of cruisers, so that it would appear they were amenable in some degree t 6 public opinion. The Government had required from Spain a categorical declaration that slavery should not be introduced in San Domingo. There were there at this moment a great number of negroes who had escaped from Cuba and Porto Rico, and the Spanish Government had given the most positive assurances that their freedom should remain intact. Lord BROUGHAM said he hoped ,there would be no objection to produce the categorical declaration alluded to. Lord PALMERSTON said he apprehended not, but his noble friend at the head of the Foreign-office would determine that point. There was nothing confidential in the communication, and it would perhaps be satisfactory to the Spanish Government to have their intentions publicly known. The chief difficulty at present was with America. So long as the States refused the right of search, the Spanish trade would continue to be carried on under the American flag. The Government of the United States had seemed to think the British Government might be induced to connive at the annexation of Cuba on condition that the slave trade should cease; and that, and the influence of the South in the councils of the Union, had hitherto prevented any effectual measures for the suppression of the traffic being carried out. The United States had, however, recently sent cruisers to the coast of Africa, and had done more to suppress the trade under their own flag than they had done for a very considerable time, It was perfectly true that the French free immi gration of negroes to their colonies was slavery in its purest and simplest form, and the British Go vernment had only been able to induce the French to put an end to it by an engagement enabling them to get coolies from India. The free immigration from Africa would therefore be put an end to in 12 months, and he trusted there would be no attempt to revive it. The appointment of consuls at the places indi cated by the deputation would no doubt be exceed. ingly advantageous, but it was a subject which lay with his noble friend at the head of the Foreign office. No doubt a great step was made when Mr. Foote, whose death he deeply regretted to hear of, was appointed to Lagos. That gentleman had been of great service in suppressing the traffic, and in structing the people of Abbeokuta to defend them selves against the King of Dahomey. As to sending a consul to Wydah, or any other part of the King of Dahomey's dominion, he must own that the savage character of the King, and his threats against all Englishmen, made it exceedingly dangerous to for ward a peaceable mission to his territory. The in crease of legitimate commerce in those districts where the slave trade had been put down was some thing most encouraging. Mr. CAMPBELL, a gentleman who had travelled in the neighbourhood of the King of Dahomey's territory, said that he was of opinion that an ac credited consul, going with a peaceful mission to the King of Dahomey, would be properly received. Much, no doubt, would depend upon the fitness of the person selected for the office, and it was desir able that he should bear with him ample evidence of the esteem in which he was held by his country men.' Some further conversation took place in reference to this point, and the deputation, having thanked his lordship for the attention he had given them , withdrew, the proceedings having lasted upwards of an hour. THE ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY. The half-yearly general court of this society was held yesterday at the offices of the institution, Tra falgar-square, Mr. B. B. Cabbell in the chair. Among others present were Sir Walter Stirling, Mr. T. E. Baker, Dr. Christian, Capt. Cartwright, Mr. Octavius Ommanney, Mr. Case, &c. The minutes o , h f previouste secretary, o r e ad n confirmed Young, read the report of the society's operations since the last general court in December. From this it ap peared that the number of cases brought under the cognisance of the various committees in which lives had been placed in imminent danger was 75 ; in these 81 persons had been successfully treated by the officers of the society, but seven were beyond recovery. The number of cases of attempted sui cide for the same time had been 10 ; and 9 cases had been referred to the general court for the award of the silver medal of the society. The Hyde Park cases reported since December last were 36, of which 32 were treated successfully, three were beyond recovery, and one person found drowned ; four attempted suicide. On the motion of the chairman the report was adopted. The silver medal of the society was then awarded to the following : —To Mr. Alexander Golland, vice-consul at Per nambuco, for saving a'man named Johnson, whoac cidentally fell into the river Jabalao, Pernambuco, on the Ist of November,lBs9 ; to Capt. C. Goldsmid, • of the ship Melazzo, for saving a Garibaldian volunteer, who fell overboard in Gibraltar bay on the 27th of September, 1860 ; to Mr. Stephen Court, master, Royal Navy, for saving William o Wire, ablebodied seaman,; of H.M.S.

ENGLISII LETTERS ON THE AMERICAN QUES- Tios.—The tone of the letters received from England by many of our leading bankers and private merchants by the last mail has been very severe in their treatment of Ameri can affairs. We are just now reaping the effect of the un reasonable and impolitic articles published by our city jour nals in criticism of the conduct of Great Britain. We stated at the time that in Our opinion the attacks upon the sin cerity of the English people were entirely without founda tion, and that the bullying braggadocio which maims up the staple of American newspaper comment in reference to Great Britain was a vulgar exhibition of impertinenc e which would be taken abroad as a national likeness.
