The " Curly" Cannel of a small district in Flintshire yields a larger per-centage of crude mineral oil, containing pare fan, than any cannel yet discovered. This oil, a.though only slightly inferior in quality to the ce'ebrated petroleum of Pennsylvania, can be produced with profit at less than one-thrd the cost of the latter delivered In this country, whilst the refined oil distilled from the "Curly" Cannel commands nearly the same price as the re fined American article. From this mineral oil are produced spirits of turpentine substitute, burning oil, lubricating oil of three varieties, solid paraffin, and grease of several kinds. All these articles, when of good quality, find a ready market. The three processes, namely, raising the cannel, distilling the oil, and refining it, have hitherto been made three dis tinct and separate businesses, involving three different ma nagements, with their attendant expenses. This Company is formed to distil and refine oil from can nel procured from its own mine ; it will thus unite three businesses, from each of which large profits are now made. By this combine.' ion, and by havin g th e command of ample capital and perfect processes, the Company wi,l be ena bl e d t o c onduct a large t ra d e to the greatest advantage, and thus insure profits considerably in excess even of those now being realised, either from the manufacture or refining of oil in this country, or from its importation from any known source. In furtherance of thes- objects the purchase has been con cluded of the well-known works of the Mineral :oil Com pany at Saltney near Chester), and Leeswood, in Flintshire ,s and also of the lere , hold Cannel and Co a l Mi nes, Works, and other property of the Ti yddyn Oil and Coke Company, contiguous to the Leesw o od W or k s of t h e Mineral Oil Com pan. Th y e Company will thus at once enter into a well-estab lished, lucrative, and rapidly increasing business, with com plete works in full operation and with organised agencies, and Will at the same time acquire a freehold mine of well known value, on terns which will enable the Company to supply themselves with cannel of superior quality, at about one fourth of the present price. The purchase from the Mineral Oil Company also includes an existing contract which will entitle this Company to a supply of 100 tons per day of "curly" cannel from the well-known Leeswood Green Col liery, for 22 years from 1860, at a price considerably below its present market value. The price to be paid for the whole of the prmerties so purchased will not exceed £160,000, payable by instalments. The proprietors of the Mineral Oil Company and of the Tryddyn Oil and Coke Company subscribe a large proportion of the capital. The Patent rights claimed by Messrs. Young and Co. for the manufacture of paraffin oil from coal will expire in Octo ber ext ; in the meantimehe operations of the Compy an will n be confined to substances which will not involve any in fringement of the rights alluded to. In the event of any further i,sue of shares (except for the purpose of paying for additional prc4erty), such shares will first be offered pro rata to the shareholders for the time being, Messrs. Ferule, Robinson, and Carter, as representing the Mineral Oil Company; and Mr. George Rae, Chairman, and Mr. George Haworth, Managing Director of the Tryddyn Company, have, at the reques t of the promoters, consentedto join the Board of this Company. The preliminary expenses are guaranteed not to exceed 1 per cent. of the capital. The articles of association may be seen at the offices of the Solicitors of the Company. Applications for shares must be accompanied with the payment of the deposit of £1 per share; in case the amount so paid exceed .£5 per share on the number of shares allotted, the surplus will be returned ; but should it tall sho. t, the balance must be paid within the time to be stated in the letter of allotment, otherwise the allotment will be cancelled and the deposit forfeited. Forms of application for shares may be obtained from the brokers and soiicitors, and at the temporary offices of the Company In cases where no allotment is made the deposit will be returned In full.

There was a continuance yesterday of the same. magnificent weather which, as far as the present meeting is concerned, has done its best to efface the recollection of a time when Wimbledon skies were adverse. Encouraged by these favourable auspices, and no doubt anticipating the hospitable welcome accorded to their friends by Volunteers generally, and notably by the Victories, a considerable number of visitors made their way to Wimbledon yesterday. A m ong these was a larg e proport i on o f l a dies, wh o se presence conferred a temporar y di s tinction upon the lines of tents where their acquain tances resided, and made those who were not similarly honoured feel conscious of their own in feriority.

The spectacle can hardly be spoken of as brilliant, for the volunteer uniform, as a rule, is dull ; but the men who shoot and shoot well can hardly make that complaint, as the Asso ciation badges lighten up the sombre tints wonder fully.

But there is no doubt that the National Rifle Association, by giving to the mem bers of the force annually a centre of common inte rest—" a local habitation and a name"—does much to strengthen and perpetuate the feeling by which the force was originally found e d. Moreover, the excitement and attractions of rifle contests remain after the goose-step has lost it s nove lty, and these odd a fresh incentive to regu l ar d r ill f r om the knowledge that the degree o f stea di ness requ i s it e t o the winning of prizes is best attained thereby. Some remarkable shooti ng was made yesterday in the course of the day.

Whatever the weapon which the Government may ultimately adopt—Mont Storm's invention, with the facilities which it offers for converting at trifling expense all our present stock of Enfields, Westley Richards, 'with its great accu racy of aim, or any other description of breech. loader, there seems to be a tacit admission that England, with its small army, cannot afford to stand still in this matter. And hence the interest connected with this competition, in which any de scription of breechloading firearms was allowed to be used. The successful candidates were as fol• GOO Yds. 800 Yds.

A prize of £5O has been given by the venerable the owls of the Ota news paper, to be competed ,for on such terms es the Council way fix. Out of consideration for the gene rous but benighted donors, the Council have deter mined that the competition shall take plece in the dark at the 200 pool targets. Lights, called owl'e eyes, wili be substituted for the plates now used as bull's eyes at these pools. Conditions—Each com petitor shall pay is per shot as at pool, and if the competitors do not appear in great numbers, The moping owl will to the moon complain.' The prize, which will be in the form of a beautiful silver owl, shall be adjudged to the competitor who shall, by the end of the meeting, have made the greatest number of owl's eyes—that is, who shall have oftenest knocked out the owl's eye, or broken the glasses by which it will be shaded. Every pre caution has been taken to guard against accidents. The shooting will commence at dusk," The Guards performing the duty of markers hav ing had a long and fatiguing day, it was agreed on all hands that it would not be fair again to expect them to take their places at the butts. A member of Parliament volunteered with the aid of half a dozen members of the London Scottish to perform the necessary duties, and being supposed to be in the confidence of " The Owls," his offer was at once accepted. Long before the shades of evening had completely fallen there was a numerous muster at the point indicated, and great was the dissatisfaction of intending competitors on learning that the bird of night declined to present itself to be shot at. The fact was that as this match must necessarily be shot under unusual conditions and at an unusual hour, it was desirable, with a view to the avoidance of danger, to adopt everysafeguard which prudence could suggest, and to meet every difficulty which ingenuity could devise. A large number of lamps had been ordered from town, and as these failed to arrive at the time named it was thought better to postpone the match, amusing as it is promised to be, than to run the risk of any occurrence calculated to damp the hitherto brilliant success of the meeting. Two accidents, which at the time wore an alarming appearance, though the results were much less serious than at first apprehended, occurred in connection with the tramway yesterday. Through some defect in the construction of the carriages, upon which the breaks have acted with some difficulty, one of these vehicles could not be stopped or materially checked in its progress before it reached the end of the line. Passengers, guessing what was about to happen, leapt or threw themselves off right and left. Nearly all escaped with slight bruises, with the exception of one, who bled rather freely from a cut over the eyebrow. As soon as it was washed and dressed, however, he joined his squad, and made a respec table score at 500 yards for the Queen's prize. In the other case the wheel of one of the carriages gave way, and the foot of a passenger was unfortunately squeezed or entangled, so that he was obliged to receive medical assistance at the hands of Dr. Westmacott, who acts professionally on behalf of the Association ; he was then removed by easy stages in the direction of his own residence. As an illustration of the comparative indifference with which Volunteers are disposed to view casualties in terfering with the object which brings them to Wimbledon, it may be mentioned that Lien tenant Starkey, of the Queen's Westmin eters, who accidentally sprained his foot on the previous day, discovering that he could kneel without pain, though he could not stand, went down in a cab to the range yesterday, shot for the Queen's Prize, and made 14, and hopes to be able to hold his place in the International Enfield match on Monday next. Corrections to Wednesday's Return of Scores, — In 200 yards, Queen's, for Lieut. Wright, 23d Devon, read Sergeant Toogood, 25th Devon, 16 points. Sergeant Macrone, Ist Burry, competed for first series extras, and not for Alexandra, making 17 points. In Alexandra, Capt. Hancocks, Ist Wor cester, fired at 500 yards, and not at 200, making 16 points; also Sergeant Spurrell, 12th Kent, fired at 500 yards, and not at 200, making 16 points. Breech-Loaders for the Army. (From the Morning Fosl,) We believe it is no secret that an important change is about to be made in the armament of our troops. It is understood that the committee ap pointed to consider the subject have strongly recom• mended that the whole of our infantry should be furnished with breech-loading rifles, and there ap pears to exist little doubt but that the recommenda tion will be acted upon. It will not be disputed that our authorities at the Horse Guards are keenly alive to the desirability of keeping the forces of this country upon an equal footing with those of other nations in the manufacs ture as well as the practice of our weapons of offence. The announcement which we make this morning to the effect that steps are likely to be immediately taken for the furnishing our whole army with rifles on the breech-loading principle, is a convincing proof of it, This change has in fact long been considered, by those who have practically studied the subject, to be one of almost absolute necessity, the only obstacle worthy of any exami nation being one purely of expense. The decided supremacy which has been lately manifested by those foreign corps which are thus armed, the Prussian rifle regiments, for instance, furnished with the needle gun, has been so marked and un deniable that it would demonstrate the very height of obstructiveness were England to hesitate for one moment to emancipate herself from such an infe riority. For effectual service in the field a breech loader, properly handled, is as superior as an Enfield is to a Brown Bess. It must, however, not be at once concluded that the increased rapidity of firing thus obtained is the only, or even the chief, advantage which will be secured. Our most experienced officers are o opinion that that is a power which may be but too easily abused and turned to a discomfiture. With young soldiers the facility of firing a dozen rounds in a minute would be a sore temptation to waste their ammunition at an ineffective distance and with hurried aim, instead of calmly and coolly awaiting the proper moment when the destructive qualities of their weapon would be tested to their utmost. With steady troops the number of rounds per minute which are now attainable would be held quite sufficient for all purposes by a coma mander who knew that he could depend upon his men for coolness when they did pull the trigger. But, though this facility will require stern super vision, there are other advantages to be found in the breech loader which render its adoption almost indispensable. In the first place, in the ordinary rifle, after firing many rounds, there naturally arises an increasing difficulty in loading, an operation which (in the excitement of action) is not at any time to be quite so easily accomplished as when rook-ahcoting or stalking red deer, When under fire that very difficulty increases the confusion of the attempt to perform it. The cartridge which it would be difficult to ram " home" even with care, is left an inch from the breech by hurry, and a mi ss fire, or, worse still, a burst , is the ver y p robab le consequence. Then again it must be a very coo l hand indeed whose Effective loa din g un der fire is not ma t er i a lly interfered wit h b y the ver y natural desire to keep one's eye a lwa y s on the enemy. Even th e c oldest e soldiers,ofin the immediate exp ec t a ti on of a cavalry, might be well excused the miss take of inserting a cartridge the wrong end first, The breech loader obviates all this. The rank and file ma y keep both eyes on the advancing foe—they ma y stand with their rifle presenting its bayonet t o wards the enemy, instead of pointing in the air, and they can insert their cartridge by a mere me chanical operation which neither requires examina tion nor interferes with precision of aim by strain- DIRECTORS.

There is also a facility in cleaning the weancea, which is fully admitted by ti‘ose at all conversant with the subject, and which is one of those small trifles which, like the memorable horse shoe nail, may materially affect a very great result, On the whole, the superiority over the present rifle seems so unmistakable that its adop tion may be lOoked upon as a necessity. There will, however, also arise the necessity for consideration as to details before an alteration so extensive as that comprising our whole army can be confirmed. That of keeping up a perpetual supply of ammunition to troops when in action will be one objection present■ ing much difficulty. Nothing so effectually para lyses the British soldier as the finding himself with cut a cartridge in his pouch. Though he might foresee no immediate use for it, and might have rea son to suppose that ere long he would he supplied with it, the actual absence of it is likely enough to create that irresistible spark—a panic. Sie e e the breech loader can be fired some five cr six times as often as a muzzle loader, it is obvious that a pro. portienate supply cf ammunition must be at hand. At present each brigade carries its own, but it is probable that the new system will necessitate each regiment, if not each company, being responsible for its own supply. In fact, there seems no doubt but that a certain extra number of men must be told off solely to supply the pouches from the tumbrils. This, as it will seriously diminish the fighting strength of each regiment, will require a good deal of careful consideration from the authorities ere they sanction the system demanding it. It is but fair to admit that there still exists a very formidable obstacle to the securing the entirety of the advantage which a breech loading rifle would confer on our troops. Those who use breech loaders over the stubble or in the forest, have of course over and over again congratulated themselves that the cartridge is the charge per se, and the " bother of caps" has been done away with. But the military authorities have hitherto, with commendable prud dente, invariably set their faces against the use in the army of a cartridge which shall combine such elements of danger as the presence of the perm., sion powder as well as that of villanous saltpetre. Moreover, the cartridges which include the combid nation are delicate of structure, and, would be very easily liable to get out of order, and indeed to be. come useless, under the roughge of the camp or the barrack. It is obvious thatlhe brass pin which stands out at right angles at the end of the cartridge, and the blow on which causes the ignition of the fulminating powder, would be extremely likely to be bent from its position or forced out altogether in the rough handling to which it would be subjected in a campaign. The scrupulous care which sports 4 men are apt to bestow upon their contrivances for preserving their ammunition from harm, even for the bloodless campaign of a moor, of itself establishes this drawback. It is, however, not insurmountable: It seems that there is an American invention already in practical operation which will obviate at least the obstacle of facile derangement. The cartridge is to all appearance similar to that in ordinary use, save that it is without the " pin." But it seems that the whole inside of the copper rim, which forms its base, is lined with a paste of the fulminating powder, and thus the hammer, especially formed for the purpose, striking it through the aperture in the barrel where the pin would have usually intruded, on any por. tion of its circumference, will ignite the charge. The facile derangement is therefore obviated, and there is a minor difficulty (but still a difficulty) also superseded—that of its being necessary to insert the cartridge into the barrel with the pia accurately fitting the groove prepared for it. There is, how ever, another advantage asserted for this cartridge. It is dec'ared that nothing but the peculiar action of the hammer will ignite it. It has been shaken., struck, thrown down violently on stones, and IWO-. jected to the most elaborate rough handling, 'cvith the avowed intention of accomplishing its explosion, but all to no purpose. The inventors explain that to do so it requires a squeeze as well as a sharp blow, and that, unless it be inserted in a close-fitting barrel, its elasticity preserves it from the combiwl tion of the two. The question of expense is one which, heAvever formidable, as it will undoubtedly be, is one which we submit should never be weighed by this country for one moment. There are occasions when no expenee is extravagance, but when thrift is ruin. The expense with which next year's estimates are thus threatened is one which should be regarded only by the advantages gained in return for it, or rather by the overwhelming consequences contin gent upon its retention. If those competent and. authorised to decide pronounce an unhesitating opinion that the improvement is desirable, we can• not conceive a singlo guardian of the public purse demurring to the expenditure. That the authorities will very carefully weigh the considerations oa which the committee have founded their report, we make not the slightest doubt. But we earnestly trust that pounds, shillings, and pence will not be allowed to turn the scale. That it vcould eventually prove the fairest economy conceivable, is as clear as the sun at noonday. The benighted economy that cost us so dearly in the Crimea should preserve us from a repetition of it for centuries. In fact, we must needs march with the times, however fast they may progress. It stands to reason that if rival nations can invent a rifle giving them a superiority over us, though they cost a hundred pounds a piece, we must unquestionably lay out another hundred. in their counterpart. If not, we shall retain but brief possession of the hundred pounds we think we have saved. THE BOMBAY AND MAURITIUS MAILS.
