THE SPEECH OF M. RICASOLI. The following is the text of M. Ricasoli's speech in the Italian Parliament on the bill relating to the lean : Gentlemen, —The King's Government is happy whenever an occasion presents itself for renewing within these walls explicit declarations concerning its internal and external policy. It regards such de clarations as a means of improving its relations and its understanding with the Parliament, thus increas ing the strength of bath, and rendering the desti nies of the nation more stable. I will first express the ideas of the Government on the administrative organisation of the kingdom, which, of course, must he founded on the elective representation of all lawful interests; for by this means all citizens are able to take part in managing their own affairs, which is the fundamental principle of all liberty. The commune, the first natural group of interests in human society, must be constituted with its pro per franchises. Next come the department and the province, which must also have its own administra tion, and form another centre to which all provincial interests will converge. The communal and provin cial interests may be summarily reduced to three categories—administration, public instruction, and public assistance, By this series of representations the country will be organised internally, and be con nected with the Government, which, by means of the Parliament, will secure political and admini stative unity to the whole nation. If the public administration has for its object to conciliate the interests of individuals with the whole nation, and those of the whole nation with individuals, we may by this means obtain the political result desired. The Government will cease to be an administrative machine; it will become a centre of direction and wise supervision, enlightened by the remonstrances of the interested, and restrained by the control of Parliament. By thus giving a legal representation to local interests, the inhabitants will become more attached to their native places, where they are known and respected. Private life in the provinces will afford opportunity for the exercise of civil vir tues as a preparation for public life in Parliament. Political education will thus be adapted to the times and founded on free institutions. Such is the course the Government intends to follow, in order to attain the greatest possible administrative decentralisation, by means of communal and provincial liberties, without impairing the efficacy of governmental ac tion, which will always preserve its unity in the central power. In realising this governmental or ganisation the Ministry will not for one moment neglect the difficult task of legislation, and, in ac cord with Parliament, it will proceed gradually towards the unification, amelioration, and comple tion of that legislation, so that the new and urgent wants of the nation may find full satisfaction in the new organic laws, and the great principles of poli tical, civil, and commercial liberty may be fully ap plied. Thus, the State being well organised and well administered, endowed with wise laws and provident institutions, good roads and new ports, all which projects the Government intends to carry out with steadfast perseverance, the State will lead a new, vigorous, and prosperous life. The people, enjoying liberty and security, will devote themselves to labour and industry, will recover their former commerce by sea and land ; they will give greater extension, and, actively de veloping all the elements of wealth with which Providence has favoured Italy, they will render the nation rich and flourishing. The vast resources of our soil justify the brightest hopes for the future, and there is good reason to believe that even in manufactures Italy will not remain behind other nations. The riches to be thus acquired will amply compensate for the sacrifices now made by our citi zens for the defence and liberty of the country. And it is precisely to that defence that the Govern ment intends continually to devote its attention, and it is with that object that it means actively to carry on the national armament. If arms are always the force and necessity of nations, they are particularly so at the present supreme moment— they are, in fact, for Italy, a condition of life or death. We arm not only for the defence of the national territory as it is now constituted, but also to complete it, and to give it its natural and legiti mate limits. (Approbation.) On this point, gen tlemen, the policy of the Government is nothing else than the right of the nation. The Govern ment knows no other limit—it will not stop at any other confines than those which right itself has marked out. It is for the double object of gaining back and defending the national territory that all naval and military preparations are being made, and this is proved by the bills which you have already voted and by those which are now before you. It belongs to you, gentlemen, to supply the Government with the means of persevering in that path. A nation, generous and strong, is never without friends, and the truth of that declaration is shown every day by the state of our foreign re lations. With the exception of Austria, the Go vernment is happy to announce that its relations with the principal Powers of Europe are friendly and satisfactory. The Italian cause excites genera l sympathy, and may count on again having allies. ( Bravo !) The recognition of England, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, and Portugal is already a solemn proof of the confidence we inspire, and is for us a political fact of great importance. These noble examples, we have reason to believe, will soon be imitated. Civilized Europe, thanks to the great prin • ciple of non-intervention, will very shortly be un animous in its solemn affirmation of our nationality, and in the recognition of our incontestable right to complete our independence. (Sensation.) I have heard speak of a cession of territory, but permit me, gentlemen, to repel with profound disdain the idea of such a thing. (This was spoken with great energy, and drew forth cries of ' bravo.') The King's Government does not know an inch of Italian ground which can be ceded ; it will not cede one —no, absolutely no! (Loud applause.) The King's Government sees a national territory to defend and to recover. (Applause.) It sees Rome —it sees Venice. And towards th a t E ternal c i ty and that Queen of the Adriatic, it directs all the wishes, all the hopes, and the projects of the nation. (Applause.) The Government understands the grave task which devolves on it, and is resolved, with the grace of God, to accomplish that task. An evenuality which is being prepared, and which will come in due time, will open the road to Venice. In the meantime, let us think of Rome ! Yes, we will go to Rome! (Marks of attention.) Rome, poli tically separated from the rest of Italy, would re main a centre of intrigues and conspiracies—a per manent menace to public order. Therefore, to go to Rome is for the Italians not only a right, but an inexorable necessity. (Approbation.) But how can we go there ? The King's Government on this point, more than on any other, will be frank and precise. (Profound silence.) We will not go to Rome by insurrection, untimely - , rash, and insen sate means, which might place in peril what has been acquired, and compromise the national enterprise. We will go to Rome in concert with France. You declared that yourselves, in the memorable sitting of the 27th of March, and the Government cannot separate itself from the decision of Parliament. We will go to Rome not to destroy, but to construct to offer to the Church the means of reforming itself —se give it the liberty and independence which will stimulate it to seek regeneration in the purity qtf religious sentiment, in the simplicity of manners, in the severity of discipline, in all the virtues - which, to the great honour and immortal glory of the pontificate, rendered its lire+. centuries distin guished and venerated—to regenerate itself, in a word, by the frank and honest abandonment of that power which is contrary to the great object of its institution, which object is entirely spiritual. (Applause.) Gentlemen, the Government does not consider thi s easy, but it derives confidence and grandeur o f courage in the the enterprise and in the force of the public conscience. (Bravo,) The Italian revolution is a great one, because it opens a new era. Italy has enjoyed the good fortune of preparing the bases, not only of its own future b t of all humanity. (Applause.) The justice , u and the sanctity of our cause, common sense, prudence in waiting, boldness in action at an opportune mo ment, and firmness and perseverance in our d es i gns, have conducted us in that path, and have aided us to arrive at the position we occupy ; and I am con fident that they will also aid us to attain our object. (Applause, both from the Chamber and the gal leries.)" THE SUN, LONDON MONDAY E trgNING, JULY 9, 18614 Green's Blackwall fleet), Captain Daniels, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from India with the head-quarters of the Ist battalion sth Regiment of Foot (Northumberland Fusiliers) on board. They consist of Col. P. M. N. Guy, C.B. ; Capts. A. Scott (Brevet -Major), G. Carden, and H. Walpole ; Lieuts. E. J. Tyyler (M. 1.), J. M. Toppin, C. J. Miles, W. Enderley, H. S. B. Holt (sick), and J. Hartley ; Ensigns A. Nicols, F. A. Forsyth, and W. C. Or mond; Quartermaster F. Drake, and Assist.-Surg. C. H. Leet, 31 sergeants, 22 corporals, 9 drummers, 244 privates, 15 servants to officers, 23 bandsmen, 8 pioneers, 8 sick in hospital, 8 women, and 15 chil dren. The ship is ordered into Portsmouth harbour, where the troops will disembark alongside the dock yard, and take up the quarters vacated by the 2d battalion llth Regiment, in the Anglesea Barracks, Portsea. The Weimer Castle sailed from Calcutta on the 12th of March, and from St. Helena on the 9th of May. It has been decided to form an artillery depot at Warley, at the barracks formerly occupied by the troops of the East India Company. The following officers have been appointed to act in connexion with the depot :—Brevet Col. J. T. Leslie, C. 8., Lieut.-Col. E. F. Hay, retired from the Indian service; Adjutant, Major F. Tower, retired from the Indian service ; Paymaster, Lieut.-Col. S. J. Stevens, C. 8., retired from the Indian service ; Assist.-Surg. Nayler, Indian Medical Depart ment. A surgeon and quartermaster have still to be nominated. The officers of the Indian service have been granted local rank while employed at the depot and attached to the Royal Artillery. The present strength of the camp at Colchester is 52 officers and 2,269 men, including 144 in hos pital. There are besides 230 women and 292 chil dren in the camp. The draughts from the 34th, • 54th, and 97th Regiments are expected to embark on Thursday in the Holmesdale. Major Brown, of the 88th, and Capt. Paget, of the 34th, have arrived at the camp to take charge of their respective depots. The detachment of officers and men of the Royal and Indian Artillery that have been for some time under instruction at Shoeburyness in the use of the Armstrong guns will rejoin the depot brigade at at Sheerness this morning, when an equal number of officers and men will proceed from Sheerness to the school of gunnery to go through a similar course of instruction. Lieut.-Col. S. Westmacott, Royal Engineers, has completed a course of instruction in engineering, sapping and mining, and fortification at the Royal engineering establishment, Chatham, and will suc ceed Col. R. J. Nelson, as commanding Royal Engineer at Nova Scotia. Lieut.-Col. Westmacott was formerly attached to the department of the In spector-General of Fortifications. Mr. Naylar, the Government contractor, of Ro chester, has commenced the erection of an extensive range of buildings at Sheerness, for the separate ac commodation of the married non-commissioned offi cers and men of the Royal Artillery and their fami lies. The new buildings will embrace in their con struction all the most recent improvements intro duced from time to time to rectify the existing de fects in our barrack system, which have been pro ductive of so many evils. Orders;have been received from the Horse Guards to hold 500 non-commissioned cfficers and men of the Depot Brigade, Royal Artillery, now stationed at Sheerness, in readiness to proceed to India ; they were medically inspected on 'Wednesday last, and are to leave for Woolwich for embarkation on Wednesday, the 10th inst. An official notification has been received at the Royal Artillery depot brigade, Sheerness, that the following vessels have been chartered to convey the Royal Artillery to Calcuttta and Madras, and will sail from Woolwich on the subjoined dates, viz.:— The St. Lawrence, July 10, 100 men ; the Syden ham, July 12, 400 men ; the Adamant, July 12, 300 men ; and the Hydaspes, screw steamer, July 13, 350 men. Of the above number 500 non-com missioned officers and men have been selected for embarkation from the brigades at Sheerness, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Talbot. By direction of the authorities none but the most experienced gunners will be allowed to embark. Every facility is to be given to married men for taking their wives and families with them. THE NATIONAL RIFLE MAR,' There was an unusually large attendance of visitors to witness the progress of the various matches on Saturday, and in the afternoon the muster of Volunteer spectators was very numerous. The weather, fortunately, was all that could be desired as regarded those anxious to see what was going forward, though for the actual competi tion it was scarcely so propitious. The wind still continued very strong, though not so high as on previous days, and the Volunteers, having now perforce become accustomed to it, better allowances were made, and the firing, on the whole, was excellent. On Saturday the first stage of the competition for the Queen's prize (with the exception of shooting off the ties) was brought to a close. This first stage, we may explain, consists in a ' general contest among all competitors at 200,500,and 600 yards. The 20 among these who make thehighest score become each entitled to a preliminary prize in the shape of a superb Whitworth rifle, worth £25, while the highest score of all among this 20 receives the large silver medal of the association. These 20, with 20 more who score the highest after them, are the 40 who, on Wednesday next, will finally compete with five shots each, at 800, 900, and 1,000 yards for the champion's plate, the Queen's prize of £250. Saturday's shooting was for this contest what pass ing the corner is for the Derby ; and if the re sult did not positively show the winner, it certainly discovered the favourite for the struggle. Sergeant Duggan, of the 26th Lancashire, whose shooting has throughout been splendid, gained the highest score of all by three points, his five nearest competitors, Hendrie, 'Moir, Kirkwood, Brooks, and Jopling, only making 20 each. This gentleman, therefore, is unquestionably the leading favourite for the great prize. The score now stands thus :-1 competitor with 23 points, 5 of 20, 5 of 19, 14 of 18, and 18 who have marked 17, or 43 competitors in all. The 11 competitors who have marked from 19 to 23 have thus secured their right to a Whitworth rifle and a place in the contest for the Queen's prize, Sergeant Duggan taking the silver medal as the best shot in the first stage. The remaining 29 competi tors will be made up to-day by the ties at 17 and 18 shooting off for the possession of the remaining nine Whitworth rifles, when the 20 who gain these and the 20 next best to them become the sole com petitors for the plate on Wednesday. It may be taken as a fair proof of the amazing progress of our riflemen since last year, and the vastly increased skill with which the prizes are now competed for, when we find that Mr. Ross, the champion shot, has not even got a place in the list of this preliminary competition for a distinction which last year he won with ease. The following was the state of the score up to Saturday night : Total points, Duggan, 26th Lancashire .. .. .. 23 Hondrie, Ayrshire Rifles .. .. .. 20 Moir, Stirling Rifles .. 20 Kirkwood, 2d Renfrew •• •• 20 Brooks, 12th Middlesex .. 20 Jopling, South Middlesex .. .. 20 Rushton, Ist Northampton 19 Goodclitfe, 11th Herts Rifles •• • . 19 Bingham, Bristol 19 Adams, Ist Surrey .. 19 Robinson, 16th Middlesex 19 Woodford, Isle of Man Volunteers .. 18 Davis, 2d Glocester 18 Smith, Midlothian Rifles .. .. 18 Rowe, Ist Devon .. .. 18 Miller, Bristol .. .. 18 Booth, 14th North Riding of Yorkshire .. 18 Scutt, 9th Wilts •• •. •• •• 18 Beasley, Ist Warwick .. 18 Stewart, 11th Middlesex 18 Plaskett, Civil Service (21st Middlesex) .. 18 Marriott, 27th West Riding of Yorkshire .. 18 Clarke, ditto .. 18 Ingledew, Bth North Riding of Yorkshire 18 Dickens, Ist Middlesex (Victoria) .. 18 Jenkins, 2d Glamorgan.. .. 17 Russell, 29th Kent .. 17 Murdoch, ditto _ 17 West, 9th Essex.. .. 17 Horner, 7th Dorset .• •• •• •• 17 Reed, Ist Cambridge 17 Greg, 7th Cheshire 17 Gostage, Ist Berks 17 Thomas, 4th West Riding of Yorkshire .. 17 Hitchcock, 7th Wilts 17 Green, 3d Somerset • • 17 •• •• Nosworthy, Oxford University 17 Morrison, 2d Renfrew .. 17 Davidson, 11th Norfolk.. 17 Lawson, 32d Middlesex (Six Foot Guards) .. 17 Lord Bury, Civil Service .. 17 Milner, South Middlesex .. 17 Parr, 47th Lancashire _ 17 The preliminary shooting for the Prince of Wales' prize was also continued throughout Saturday, but the leading competitors for this are not yet distinctly shown. For the extra prizes (all corners) there are 230 competitors. The best shooting for these on Saturday was Leece, Manchester Rifles, nine points (with one shot more to fire at the same range); Captain Eaton, 3d Manchester, 8; Ingram, Ist Lanark, 7 ; Wylbie, Royal Artillery, 7 ; W. Grutt, Ist Berks, 7 ; and Colour-Sergeant Hall, 7. We heard several complaints on Saturday as to the mis spelling of names, &e., in the lists of competitors which have appeared in all the morning journals. We can only state, as far as ourselves are concerned, that we are in no degree responsible for these errors, as our list is always copied verbatinz from the official returns made out on the ground by the association. Of course, as these lists are necessarily written out as rapidly as possible at the close of each day s it is more than likely that the orthography of sur names may be open to improvement. The scores however, are always accurately given, and the Volunteers who are fortunate enough to carry off the chief prizes need be under no apprehension that their distinguished names will be inaccurately given. Among the visitors to the ground on Satur day were the Duke D'Aumale,the Duke and Duchess de Montpensier, Earl and Countess of Stamford, Earl Tankerville, the Marquis of Abercorn, Vis ' count Eversley, Earl Ducie, the Duke of Suther land, Lord Valletort, Lord Trefusis, Lady Spencer, Lady Bury, Lady Elcho, &c The exhibition tent containing the cups, &c., from which the winners may, if so minded, select their prizes, was much crowded. Ia our notice of the magnificent works collected here we inadvertently omitted to mention that Messrs. Hunt and Roskell are among the ex hibitors, and their show of salvers, cups, epergnes, &c., is eminently beautiful. A large refreshment tent for ladies only has also been added to the crowd of marquees. This is the venture of Iklr. Donald, of St. James's-hall, who has charge of the refreshment department of the meeting, and whose liberal arrangements in this respect it is but fair to state have given unqualified satisfaction. During Saturday very many Volunteers came down to see the ground on which their great re view is to take place before the Duke of Cambridge on Saturday next. As far as we could learn the opinions then expressed were unanimously in favour of the locality selected. If the statements made by some of our contemporaries, that the dissatisfaction among the Volunteers is deep and general at the choice of Wimbledon-common, are founded in fact, the discontent can only have arisen from a misun derstanding. It is said the Volunteers do not like going to a place where the ground is boggy and uneven, cut up by gravel pits and breast high with furze; that the regiments to whom by the chance manoeuvres of the day the good ground is assigned can show off their drill and discipline all the more so from the contrast their movements will afford to those who can do neither and who will find it sufficiently difficult to prevent their order being broken up by the ground alto gether. Above all, the fact of there being only a small station and one line of railway is especially dwelt upon as being totally incapable of carrying the 30,000 Volunteers in addition to the public, who it is said, are certain to go down to sQe the display. Now, if anything like 30,000 or even 20,000 Volunteers were expected these arguments would be just and reasonable, and we should have no more to say against them ; but it happens that on Satur day next only between 10,000 and 11,000 Volun teers are, at the very outside, expected to attend. This is, it is true, a large number to arrive at a little station like Wimbledon ; but some corps will march down, several will march back, and of the general public a great majority will either come by road or by water to Putney, which is close to Wimbledon. As regards the nature of the ground over Wimbledon-common, it is quite correct that over that large space gravel-pits, bogs, ditches, and furze may be found in abundance, but it is quite untrue that any:single one of these impediments is to be seen in the space chosen by the Committee for the review. The whole extent of the spot se lected is, in fact, as level as a bowling green , and that it is so is not surprising considering that the Committee of the Rifle Association have been at the expense of levelling and re-turfing the greater part of it. One considerable tract, which is very level, is still covered with furze, but the rooting up of this: commences to-morrow, and every vestige of obstruction will be removed before Saturday. The review will commence at 5 o'clock with the marching past of all the corps immediately after the distribu tion of prizes. The latter takes place in front of a grand stand, erected for the occasion, and capable of accommodating 2,000 persons. On either side of this will be the enclosure for carriages, and all along the line of march, and to places commanding a full view of the evolutions, the public will be admitted on payment of ls. fee. If punctuality is en forced on the Volunteers who are to take part in this, the review will be one of the most brilliant affairs that have takeil place since the Queen's inspection in Hyde Park. If, on the contrary, it only affords another conspicuous in stance of the want of punctuality which has too often marked these gatherings, the success of the display will be most seriously jeopardised. Those who hold that at least one great annual review of the Volunteers should take place on Epsom Downs are very much in the right. We have always ad vocated that the Downs near that town offer facili lities for such a display which no other place in England affords. With the two lines of railway, each accustomed to take down 25,000 or 30,000 visi tors on a Derby day, any number might be conveyed, and under proper management, such a military fete at Epsom might soon be made to attract as many by road and rail as the Derby itself. Never theless such a review might be given without at all interfering with that so properly held by the Rifle Association at the close of the annual competition. Volunteers should recollect that the forthcoming review on Saturday will, it is hoped, be a source of profit to the association, which will go far towards eovering the heavy expenses of their meeting and distribution of prizes. There are some truths which are very unpleasant, but which it is, nevertheless, necessary sometimes to tell. Among such is the plain fact, that the Volunteers, as a body, have almost utterly neglected to support the association, at whose expense they are now competing for prizes, and who, for the want of liberal support, have in curred a heavy loss by last year's meeting. The association therefore has a direct claim on the at tendance of the effectives of all metropolitan corps. The Volunteers can get up a dozen reviews at Epsom if they like, but for the sake of their own esprit de corps they should strain every nerve that that given by the National Rifle Association should be one of the best of its kind. No regiment will be allowed to take part in the manoeuvres that has not passed its official inspec tion before Colonel M'Murdo, and each corps must be represented by at least four full companies. The chief corps which are expected to be present are the Victoria Rifles (Ist Middlesex), Hon. Artillery Company, the London Irish, Inns of Court, Ist and 7th Surrey, City of London Brigade, South Middle sex, North Middlesex, West Middlesex, London Scottish, St. George's, the Paddington the Central London, the 4th Middlesex (Islington), 2d Adminis trative Battalion, the Civil Service, the 6th and other of the Tower Hamlets Regiments, the Deptford, Woolwich, and Chatham Dockyard Battalions, Ist Middlesex Artillery, the 39th Middlesex (Finsbury), and Lord Truro's Light Horse. THE NAP Y. The Supply, screw store vessel, Master Com mander Balliston, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning, with stores from the Mediterranean. The following extract is from the letter of an offi cer belonging to H.M.S. Hannibal, dated Beyrout, June 7:—" The Algiers, Renown, Melpomene, Alac rity, and Foxhound are here. The Amphion left yesterday for Cyprus. There is a large fleet of French ships at this place under the command of Admiral Barbier de Tinan, Most of the soldiers of the French expeditionary army have embarked, the splendid steam transports af fording ample accommodation. A court-mar tial has been held on board the Renown for the trial of the assistant-paymaster of the Mel pomene, which resulted in his dismissal from the service, besides one year's imprisonment with hard labour. Three other courts-martial are to come off in connexion with the same affair." Armour plates have been received at Portsmouth from Messrs. Napier, of Glasgow, for testing pur poses. Orders have also been received at that port to prepare a target for testing the resisting powers of end-grain wood backed by iron plates. The Magnet gunboat, GO-horse power, Lieut. and Commander B. L. Lefroy (tender to the Pembroke Coastguard ship, stationed at Harwich, Capt. T. Fisher), after having undergone extensive repairs in her hull and machinery, was taken from the fitting basin at Sheerness to the coal depot in the harbour, whence, after coaling, she proceeded to Chatham, where she took in ordnance stores for the Pembroke, and sailed for Harwich. The Dragon, 0, paddlewheel steam-sloop, 560- horse power, recently commissioned at Sheerness by Commander E. Hardinge, is to be paid off this day (Monday) owing to the defective state of her tim bers through dry rot, and her officers and crew will be turned over to the Chameleon, 17, screw steam sloop, 200-horse power. The Chameleon, is fully rigged, and requires only her ammunition and pro visions to be ready for sea. The screw steamship Sanspareil, 70, was recom missioned at Devonport on Saturday, by Capt. Geo. Le G. Bowyear. She will have a complement of 140 men, and will, when fitted, convey to China seamen and marines to relieve those on duty in the gun boat and small craft on the station, and supernume raries for the squadron. Among others about 100 stokers and several engineers are ordered to hold themselves ready to embark. The Sanspareil will bring home troops. The following appointments were made on Sa turday at the Admiralty :—George Duncan, Owen Douglas, William J. Hancock, George Thomson, Isaac Hall, George Hurst, James K. Weatherby, James J. Conway, Robert Goodwin, Thos. Hunter, William Moore, Augustine Kedward, Wm. Harris, William Strachan, Jas. Adamson, Edmund Clark, George R. Beer, Henry Culler, William B. Rock, Henry Brown, James W. Anthony, William J. Robinson, John Flintoff, William H. Keats, James Petts, John Sumner, William Jones, John W. Owen, Augustus Stretton, John Dinwoodie, Jas. R. Jack son, John Miller, and Wm. E. Grigg, acting second class-assist.-engineers, to the Imperieuse as super numeraries. THE ARMY, The Boanerges, sailing transport, sailed from Portsmouth early yesterday morning with the head quarters of the 2d battalion 11th Foot, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Jenner, for the Cape of Good Hope. The Conflict, sailing transport, sailed from Ports mouth on Saturday with the following detach ments on board for the Cape of Good Hope : Royal Artillery — Lieut. Tollner , 20 men, 2 women, and 3 children. 2d battalion 10th Foot—En signs Poole, Rendle, Little, and Brougham ; 1 ser geant, 2 drummers, 1 corporal, and 74 privates ; 1 woman and 1 child. 2d battalion 11th Foot—Capt.

The clipper ship Walmer Castle (one of !i,lessrs. THE VOLUNTEERS. On Saturday the 19th Surrey, under the command of Major Roupell, assisted by Captains Truman, Watkins, Prewett, Sze., underwent a very length ened inspection in Kennington-park, by Major Nel son, Assistant-Inspector-General of Volunteers. The movements comprised nearly the whole of those enumerated in the instruction-book, and most of them were performed with the utmost precision, the forming into square, volley firing, and the ad vancing and retiring into line boing especially commendable. After an examination of the condi tion of the rifles, and some final movements, includ ing a bayonet charge, Major Nelson in a short address, complimented the 19th in the very highest terms. He observed that some of the movements were executed in a manner quite equal to any that he had ever seen in the regular army, and he felt assured, from the zeal exhibited and the progres s made, that the 19th Surrey need not fear compari son with any regiment of volunteers. A hearty cheer welcomed this satisfactory announcement, and it is only fair to state that Major Nelson, before coming to this conclusion, had tested the merits of the regiment in every possible manner. Major Beresford then proposed three cheers for the com mandant, Major Roupell, which was heartily re sponded to. On Saturday a large portion of the London Irish Rifles assembled at Somerset-house, and under the command of Lieut-Col. Verner and Capt. Daubeney marched to Hyde-park to undergo an official inspec tion by Col. M'Murdo. The Marquis of Donegal joined his regiment on the ground, and on the arrival of Col. M'Murdo the inspection proceeded. The usual military movements having been gone through the regiment was formed into square, and Col. M'Murdo complimented the Marquis of Donegal and the officers under him for the manner in which they had performed their duties on this their first inspection. He considered the regiment on the high road for efficiency, and nothing could be more sa tisfactory than some of their movements. After a few words of advice respecting the accoutrements, three cheers were given for the Queen, Colonel M'Murdo, the Marquis of Donegal, and the London Rifle Brigade, who kept the ground. A meeting of the second battery of the Ist Surrey Artillery Volunteers was held on Wednesday even ing, the 3d inst, to present Sergeant -Nlajor Madden with a silver medal. It was presented by Mrs. Pearse (wife of Capt. Pearse, of No. 2 battery). Viscount Sydney, Lord-Lieutenant of Kent, with Lieut.-Col. Morris, C. 8., attended at Woolwich, on Saturday afternoon, for the purpose of inspecting the brigade of the 14th Kent, Woolwich Dockyard Artillery Volunteers. The force, consisting of four batteries under the command of Major Thornton, assembled on parade at the dockyard about four o'clock, with the hand of the corps, and received his lordship and Col. Morris with the usual salute. The ranks were then inspected front and rear, and the force marched past at slow and quick time and in quarter distance column. Various battalion move ments followed. A detachment was then called out from each battery to work the garrison guns, and at the termination of the inspection Viscount Sydney expressed the utmost satisfaction with the appear ance of the corps and the manner in which the evo lutions had been carried out. His lordship before leaving Woolwich also inspected some volunteer companies at the Royal Arsenal. On Saturday evening a meeting of the Notting ham Robin Hood Rifles was held in the Exchange hall for the purpose of electing a lieutenant-colonel in the place ofLicut.-Col. Craufurd, who resigned a short time ago. The distinction has been conferred on Mr. Wright, who has held the office of major in the battalion. The Lochaber Rifle Volunteers (Inverness-shire) mustered a few days ago to compete at target prac tice for a handsome field glass, g t i l ft e , g d i e f l t iv o e f re N d lr a s c . o l m V . . :N B i r i i .s lc . e i . lr T u l c i e e , p it i l iz p e re b s e e i n n t g in\g vo t n he by Sergt.

Private Ling proved the winner of the first prize, scoring 17 points, leaving Privates Groote and Garratt in a minority of four points. The shooting was at 200 and 300 yards, five rounds each distance. On Saturday last the 21st Lancashire (Wigan) Rifle Volunteers paid their annual visit to Parbold Hall, the residence of Mr. F. Twining, about seven miles from Wigan. The customary evolutions of a field day were gone through very creditably, the admirable precision of the volley firing deserving especial praise. Dinner and dancing followed, the latter being kept up till 7 o'clock with great spirit. On Wednesday last the ceremony of presenting the Artists Rifle Corps with a handsome pair of colours was performed by Mrs. Edgar in the court yard of Devonshire-house. Captain Phillips re turned thanks on behalf of the corps. Afterwards the presentation of two of the prizes for shooting took place. The first was a silver gilt Cellini cup, given by Captain Lewis, and won by Ensign Tal fourd ; and the second a Westley Richards' breech loader, given by Captain Leighton, and won by Private Thorneley. The presentation of prizes to the Ist and 3d com panies of the Isle of Wight Volunteer Rifle Corps took place on Monday evening at Gwdwr-house, near Ryde. The prizes consisted chiefly of three silver cups to each company, presented by officers of the corps and their friends. Mrs. Rendall, the wife of Captain Rendall, presented the chief prize to Sergeant Lake, by whom it was gained. The Ist administrative Essex battalion was bri gaded with the troops in the camp at Colchester on Thursday. The companies which assembled were the Colchester, Chelmsford, Braintree, Dunmow, Dedham, Manningtree, and Bentley—in all some 370 men, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Claude de Crespigny. The entire strength of the garrison was assembled, there being some 2,000 men under arms. For the purposes of the brigade movements the two battalions were divided into four wings, under the direction of Colonel Street, Colonel Dixon, Major West, and Captain Bassett. The Volunteers formed a fifth wing, and the entire brigade was handled by Col. the Hon. A. Gordon, C. 8., commandant of the troops in camp. Several distinguished military offi cers were present, and there were also on the ground representatives of some distant volunteer corps. The movements executed were those of an ordinary field-day. At the close Lieut.-Col. Sir Claude de Crespigny stated that Col. Gordon was satisfied with the manner in which the volunteers had sus tained their part. The ladies of Colchester are about to offer the corps of that town a challenge cup of the value of £4O. The firing will be at 650, 700, and 800 yards. A list of the valuable prizes to be awarded at the forthcoming competition of the City of London Rifle - Brigade has been issued by the Lieut.-Colonel commanding. It is intended, if possible, that the contest shall come off in three days in the week ending Saturday, July 20. ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY'S TRIAL 01 STEAM PLOUGHS. LEEDS, FRIDAY. The hot-water power that blew off the lid of Newcomen's suggestive tea-kettle has been accu mulated in scientific " boilers," with fireboxes and tubular flues for utilising the caloric developed by combustion of fuel, and by pressure and expansion urging the piston in its smooth-bored cylinder, it gives, through connecting-rod and crank, that con tinuously-revolving motion of a fly-wheel shaft from which cog-wheels, riggers,belts, and shafting drive a countless infinity of machines in every branch of mechanical art. But only of late years have the makers of farm implements reduced the great motor to a portable agent in the field and farmyard, by a studied lightness, perfection, and simplicity of parts, and economical consumption of coal, surprising to the builder of the swift, yet im mense railway locomotive, or of massive engines working the ponderous mine-pump, the mighty paddle-wheel, or the multiplied mechanism of a fac tory. And already, not only is the stationary or barn-work machinery of agriculture actuated by steam-power, but the fundamental labour of tillage is now fairly mastered ; a steam engine can distri bute the application of its motive force over every point of a wide irregular area, like that of an ordi nary field, and plough, trench, delve, and scuffle, no matter how hilly and uneven may be the sur face, how unkind the temper or foul the condition of the soil. Not merely as a practical problem solved by unbusinesslike inventions in cases of par tial experiment, but steam husbandry has assumed such extensive proportions and excited such unpre cedented interest in the agricultural mind that we have many competing systems of steam culture, and rival firms doing a large trade in steam-driven implements. And when we contrast the rapidity of extension characterising agricultural improvements available by the tenant farmer with the sluggish advance of those more permanent ameliorations confined to the owners of land, as, for instance, the spread of steam thrashing, which has created many great factories within a few years, compared with the stagnation of land drAinage and river reform, which in a long course of time have not dried a tenth of the wet grounds of England—it is not all extravagant to anticipate the certain and early sub stitution of steam for horse power in one-third to one -half of our tillage operations. That is, some £12,000,000 worth of teams will probably be re placed by a force eating coal and wearing away metal, instead of consuming for mere motive-power the oats and provender that should make mutton and beef. It so happens that the point of advantage in steam hasbandry which is of least importance has generally had most prominence given to it,.probably because of the ease with which it can be estimated and appreciated. The cheaper cost per acre of the work done is always a main point in public trials, but, in reality, is of far less moment to the farmer than the extra perfection of the tillage and the ex pedited rate of performance. By greater depth and superior efficiency of the ploughing or grubbing heavy soils are completely improved in character, yielding fine and increasing crops of corn and roots, with scarcely any manurial application. Bat it is also found that the power to accomplish in two weeks the same extent of preparation for a seed-bed that by horse labour occupied three weeks so far enables the farmer to choose the best weather for sowing, and places him beforehand with the fitful seasons, as to be equivalent to a certain augmentation of produce. For saving of time often makes the differ ence not only between a good crop and a bad one, but between this and no crop at all. -Besides, the superior style of eradicating root-weeds and destroy= ing animals, and laying up fallow ground in ridge and trench for a winter's mellowing, amazingly re duce the number of processes necessary during a rotation of crops. Mr. Smith's tabular statements of cost and quantities show that on his Woolston clay soil the seedbeds for 17 successive crops have re quired only 39 mechanical operations, at an average cost of 10s. 10d. per acre for each crop ; whereas a low estimate of ordinary horse tillage is 21s. 4d. per acre for each crop. Again, employers of the steam plough on farms of average extent (as shown in a considerable number of instances) find that they can displace one-third to one-half of their animal team, and yet possess a total tillage-force much greater than before; while the difference in expense between the horse and steam powers is so considerable as to leave them several hundreds of pounds :per annum in pocket. The urgency of the subject has led the Royal Agricultural Society to devote a lengthened trial to the investigation or the merits of the different in ventions at present before the public, awl accord lingly the consulting-engineer, M r . Amos, G.E., of Southwark; the appointed judges, Mr. Owen, of Rotherham ; Mr. Owen Wallis, of Overstone, Northamptonshire ; and Mr. Clare Sewell Read, of Plumetead, near Norwich, with the Hon. Augustus Vernon, as acting steward on the occasion, and Mr. Brandreth Gibbs, as honorary director of the show, proceeded on Monday last (a whole fortnight pre vious to the exhibition of implements and live stock) to test periormances with a view to awarding the society's prizes. A quiet uninterrupted trial was to have come off at the Stourton Grange Farm of Mr. Brady Nicholson, near Garforth station, 8 miles from Leeds, on the Selby line of railway, but whe ther from the growing popularity of steam plough ing, the mechanical intelligence of the West Riding population, or, perhaps, the fame of one apparatus manufactured by a great Leeds engineer, so nume• rous are the visitors that special trains have been run, bringing many thousands of persons each day to the trial grounds, and, though adding to the gene ral interest, considerably detracting from the value of the experimental operations. Until complete and satisfactory grounds of opin ion have been obtained from each machine, it might create a false impression to publish measurements and calculated costs of parious processes now per formed. And, indeed, even the concisest outline of the construction and principle of action peculiar to each of the ten sets of apparatus in competition will occupy a sufficient share of our report. Four dis tinct classes of steam tilling maphiherT w before the Nagle, In the nrst, an ir4lement is' dragged by wire-ropei this class being subdivided into twe kinds—one having a stationary engine, the other having an engine which shifts at intervals along the headland or end of the field. In the second, the traction of the implement is effected by attaching it to a locomotive engine. In the third, the implement is not dragged but propels itself by means of power communicated through a light rope running at high velocity, from an engine either stationary or mov ing intermittently along the headland. The fourth class is that of rotary diggers carried and actuated by an engine which is locomotive. Of these the third class is unrepresented at Leeds. Messrs. IFis ken, the inventors, however, have been improving upon their apparatus of 1855, under the patro nage of the Hexham Farmers Club. The remain ing classes comprehend the different machines competing for the two premiums of £lOO each, offered respectively for " the application of steam power for the cultivation of the soil,"and for "ditto worked by an ordinary portable engine not exceed ing 10-horse power," For the open prize there are six competitors, with seven different methods, five of twhich are varieties of the wire-rope system. First take the stationary engines. Messrs. James and Frederick Howard, of the Britannia Ironworks, Bedford, formerly manufac turers of the %Voolston implements, have brought out some novelties. The rope, partially supported upon friction-roller porters, lies round the four sides of the field, passing round an anchored pulley at each corner, two of the anchors being fixed, the others shifted by manual labour along the headland as required. Abandoning Mr. Smith's " turnbow," Messrs. Howard have invented a remarkably light yet powerful grubber, having tines with backward and forward shares, in form somewhat like a letter Y turned upside down—thus, A ; so as to work with either end of the implement going foremost. The steering is effected by sharp-edged wheels, directed by the workman, who rides upon the implement. By anchoring a 40-yard length of chain along the headland, the pulley can be shifted by the strain of the rope itself, thus saving the hand labour of two men as mentioned above. The two ropes which meet at the implement and at the windlass stationed against the engine, are alternately wound upon and unwound from two drums, the regular and even coiling being secured by a man guiding the rope with a loose roller. The horizontal axis upon which the drums are hung is the axletree of a pair of high travelling wheels ; brackets at each end support the pinion shaft above the drums, from which they re ceive motion, and a pair of horse shafts resting on the ground hold the windlass in its position, the whole, weighing about 26cwt without the rope, being ready for removal without any raising or alteration. The peculiarity of the construction is that, as the barrels rotate upon short hollow axes placed eccentrically upon the axletree, they are slightly lifted or lowered in or out of gear with the pinions above by easily turning round the hollow axes with handles for the purpose. The loose drum also rests upon a fixed block or break, to retard its motion, and regulate the paying out of the slack rope. Instead of driving by strap from the engine fly-wheel, Messrs. Howard connect the pinion-shaft to the engine crank-shaft by a spindle with two universal joints. These are of flexible indiarubber, and the engine and windlass being set slightly tilted on one side, so as to bring the spindle nearly in a line with the shafts just named, the movement is very smooth, and a great improvement upon the driving band, which always slipped in wet weather or was blown off by high winds. The engine is a double-cylinder, portable, and fitted with cog-wheels for driving the main car riage wheels at a moderate speed, when travelling from place to place. It is a feature in the present show that all the engines competing for the prize under consideration are self-locomotive from field to field, whether employed there as stationary or not. Messrs. Howard's new implement for common ploughing consists of two sets of shares, mould boards, and coulters, fixed, one set below the other in an inverted position above a beam-frame. This frame is supported at each end by end-carriages, running upon wheels, used for steering, and is turned one-half round with an axial motion, when one set of three ploughs is to be taken out of work and the other three brought to the ground for ploughing the return furrows. Messrs. Robey and Co., of Lincoln, exhibit an engine, having its hind-wheel axletree lengthened in order to support two winding drums, one on each side the boiler, driven by intermediate cog-wheel s from the crank-shaft. Thus no windlass on a se -1 parate carriage is required. The rope is l a id out 1 around the field like Messrs. Ho ward's. Messrs. Richardson and Darley, of Kirton-in- Lindsey, Lincolnshire, used their locomotive en gine, a stationary one, to drive Mr. Beard's small windlass and light tackle hauling a common two furrow plough, which is turned round at the ends of the work. THE LA7B ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE RAILWAY. TUTBURY, SATURDAY. The inquiry into the cause of death of John Smith (driver), John Tams (fireman), and Robert Gardener (guard), who were killed on the Burton and Tutbury branch of the North Staffordshire Railway on Friday evening, the 21st of June, was resumed this morning, at the Castle Inn, Tutbury, before Mr. Sale, one of the coroners for Derbyshire. A number of witnesses were again examined, and their evidence was very contradictory. The company called Mr. Woodhouse, the eminent engineer, who gave it as his opinio n th a t th e exces sive speed of the engine, probably at the rate of 60 or 70 miles an hour, caused the accident. The following important evidence was given by the Government inspector : Henry Watley Tyler—l am captain in the Royal Engineers and Government inspector of railways. I visited the scene of the accident on the Wednes day after it occurred. I have examined the line between the wooden bridge and where the engine went down the embankment. I find the engine is not calculated to run very steadily at high speed, and I have reason to believe it was travelling at high speed on this occasion. As it was thus leaving the wooden bridge it began evidently, from some cause or other, to oscillate, and the road gave way under the oscillations so far as to be pushed to the right and lett for a distance Of 90 yards. It then, from some reason, burst the road altoge ther. The two important points to look at are —first, the end of the wooden bridge where the oscillation commenced, in order to determine what it was that caused the oscillation ; and secondly, the point at the end of the 90 yards where the en gine left the line, to ascertain what it was that there gave way. With regard to the point at the end of the bridge, the evidence shows that a joint chair had been very slightly shifted upon the sleeper. I observed in that chair two new fasten ings on the inside. I also observed that the two chairs on the same side, behind this joint chair, had also two new fastenings on the inside, and that there were indications of their also having slightly shifted on the sleepers. With regard to the second point, at the end of the 90 yards, I have been unable to get evidence further than that you have heard to-day as to the condition of those parts which gave way, and the state in which they were found after the acci deat. I found a number of new fastenings and new sleepers on the portion of the road knocked out of line, and I found that the ballast had been par tially removed and thrown out on both sides. I have come to the conclusion that the accident was occasioned by the somewhat unsteady engine com ing at high speed upon a weak portion of the road. It first disturbed it slightly, and then its oscillations increasing in intensity caused it probably at length to burst the line altogether. After some further evidence the coroner summed up, and the jury returned the following verdict : " That the train was travelling at too rapid a paw ; that the line was not in a good state of repair; and that the engine and guard's van was overthrown in consequence, and the driver, fireman, and guard thereby killed."

COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge-Ordinary and a Common Jury.) RICHARDES V. RICHARDES and JONES. The hearing of the case was resumed this day, and several witnesses were called to sustain the pleas of the respondent as to her husband's cruelty and commission of adultery with different females at Aberystwith. Three of the young women with whom the petitioner was alleged to have intrigues were examined on his behalf, after the case for re ference had closed, and denied in the most positive terms that they had been guilty of any impropriety with him. The other female, with whom it was alleged he had had improper intercourse, was un able to attend from ill-health, but a lady who was intimately acquainted with her deposed that she had known the petitioner only a few days, and that from her knowledge of her character it was not likely she would have committed herself in the way alleged. Mr. Sergeant Shee, Mr. Huddlestone, Q.C., and Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., addressed the jury on behalf of their respective clients. ~.. Sir C. Cresswell, in summing up, said that there were two questions to be considered by the jury, as to whether the respondent had committed adultery with the co-respondent, and the second whether the petitioner had been guilty of the same offence with any or all of the females with whom it was alleged that he had improper intimacy. The evidence rela tive to the first question was very strong, as it con tained facts that could leave no reasonable doubt on the mind of rational men that subsequent to the departure of her husband from England the respon dent had committed adultery with the co-respon dent. As regarded the next question, it was a mere matter of credibility with reference to the evidence adduced. Improprieties were sworn to as having taken place between the petitioner and some young ladies, but these improprieties were stated to have been committed under circumstances, that would induce a supposition that thosia young ladies, who occupied respectable stations in society, had lost all self-respect, for it was un posed that they had misconducted themselves with the petitioner in the most open manner. The peti tioner claimed damages, which was a matter en tirely for the decision of the jury, who would have to consider what loss the husband had sustained by the seduction of his wife. It was proved in evi dence that he had written letters of an amatory character to a young lady about sixteen years of age, and that he was endeavouring to provide him self with a wife on the contingency of obtaining a divorce, a proceeding that must present his conduct in a very unfavourable light. There could be no doubt that while the petitioner was cohabiting with his wife he had paid very marked attentions to , other ladies. The jury retired, and, after an hour's absence,. found a verdict to the effect that the respondent had been guilty of adultery with the co-respondent, and that the petitioner had committed adultery with three of the females named in the pleadinrss, and they assessed damages at one farthing. Sir C. Cresswell said he would reserve judgutent relative to pronouncing a decree until he had. care fully considered the facts of the case. COUNTRY DIAREETS. CAMBRIDGE—JuLT G.
