At the Holmbush annual meeting, on Wednesday, the statement of receipts and expenditure for the year showed a considerable improvement in the returns over those of the previous one, and from the present extensive operations a further increase is confidently anticipated, so that at no very distant period the Holmbush Mines may rank amongst the best in the eastern part of Cornwall. At West Pa: Consols general meeting, on Thursday, the report from the Vounder lode was considered most satisfactory; tribute ground is now opened sufficient to return four tons per month. In the eastern side of the sett the shaft is sinking in a beautiful killas, after the rate of 4 fins. per month-the killas presenting the same appearance as that of the adjoining mine, Par Consols.

IMPROVEMENTS AT NEWMARKET. a TRURO, C. " LANGDALE, M.R. "J. L. KNIGHT BRUCE, V.C. " J. Collis, Registrar." EXTRAORDINARY RIFLE SHOOTING. The following alterations have been made on the heath:— Lieutenant-Colonel Wilson, of the Royal Artillery, who left Woolwich garrison in September last to take the command of that branch of the Ordnance service at Ceylon, shortly after his arrival in that country, was present with Captain Lewis and other officers of the 37th Regiment, and Lieutenant Margesson, Royal Ar tillery, to witness rifle shooting by Comte de Belloy and hia friends, Messrs. Salamann, Uchard, and Odier. The two rifles used were made in Paris, and had each four grooves, and did not appear to differ in weight or length from the rifles in common use. The Ceylon Times gives the following account of the shooting and description of the ball with which the trial was made:—" A target, about 6 feet square, was pitched on the sea-road of the Gallo face, which was, when we approached, placed at the enormous distance of 900 yards from where the gentlemen practising stood. Of course a tripod stand was used on which in a groove the rifle was placed as a rest. After witnessing several shots from the stand we left for the target, near which three Artillerymen were stationed. To our surprise we noticed that, although the bull's eye was not pierced, there were several shot-holes in a good direction above it, as well as below, perforating the inch planking of which the target was made with a well-defined round hole, similar to what a common rifle would make at a distance of 100 yards —a proof of the enormous range and powcrof the rifles used. We may instance a curious fact in acoustics on this occasion. On leaving the firing place for the target, when about 200 yards off, we heard the rush of the ball, followed at a perceptibje interval by the sound of the rifle; getting farther off, the period between the two sounds visibly decreased, until at the target the sound of the explosion reached us before that of the ball. Sound, of course, would travel at its accustomed rate of 1,080 feet a se cond, but where the balls had, at a range of 900 yards, the velocity necessary to pierce an inch plank, and fly far beyond it, it would be a fair presumption that the THE BEACON COURSE,—The old weighing-house, which stood in the course, has been taken down, and the rails taken away as far as the Duke's Stand. The course is thus set back (towards the turnpike road) at the end of the Beacon Course about seventeen yards, and is now delineated by temporary posts and chains as far as the Duke's Stand, where it joins the old rails. A. new weighing-house and jockeys' retiring room, with lead flat over the whole, is in the course of erection, at a distance of sixteen yards from the new boundary line of the course, so as to leave an enclosed area, in front of the New Stand, for the purpose of saddling, &c. The lead flat covering to this stand is in abeyance till after the Craven Meeting, owing to the late robbery of 7 cwt or 8 cwt of lead from the Portland Stand, as there is in consequence a probability of a covered Stand Room being substituted for it over the weighing and jockey's retiring room. This stand therefore will not be completed by the Craven Meeting, but will be provided with a temporary roof, so as to answer every purpose until the stewards I.etermine what kind of covering they will have in pre ferencernz to u t c h .u e re v , e h ry as convertible article lead. eiLpornaiegeouorfse, and it is ROUND COURSE.—The rotten old wooden, worm eaten, str • disappeared at last, and a neat new weighing-house has been erected about five yards past the winning- post, and will be completed by the Craven A lolfstpheeakl3 l . that haSb week. the alteration to the termina tion. think the greatest made for years on the course. iTrahPerrneisraheinsw now on a peeernfeet flat for the last 200 yards, the perfect v i ew o f t h e r a u n n d ni t n h g e rheoirsi nothing es to i . imped e DEATH OF SCREltaxacou.—lt is with MURDER.—At the Norwich Assizes a man named George Baldry, aged 27, was convicted of the murder of Ca roline Warn, aged 13, at Thurlton.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—Sir James Graham, when referring to the Law of settlement, intimates that he would combine parishes into unions; by this process he would centralise 1,500 places into 600 circles; upon the face of this, it appears an improvement, and consequently must prove attrac tive to the superficial observer, but let us, without enter ing deeply, look merely under the surface and examine this proposition. This consolidation does not, nor can any such propo sition, abolish that portion of the law which relates to removal. Whenever an applicant needs relief, the inquiry into settlement must of necessity be instituted, the de sire will remain to shift the charge from one union to another—the same motive for appeals against magis terial and quarter session decisions—the same desire to change settlements by pauper marriages—the same motive to drive forth the labourer will exist—the same crowding will continue, and the utmost that can be realized by this process of union settlements, may be a slender reduction for law expenses, without in the slightest measure benefiting the labourer. The inquiry will be simply, changed from does he belong to the parish, to does he belong to the union; if not, let him go hence, and thus it will continue so long as the law avoids rendering settlement universal. About a fort night since an occurrence took place which will illus. trate this point; it: is the case of a destitute man before the magistrate at Stamford:— " John Clay had, on the previous Wednesday, been turned out of the Loughborough Union, with a threat that it he returned he would be sent to gaol for two months. He had been repulsed whenever he applied for work; and in vain had he applied to the union offi cers for relief. Fearing that he should be obliged to lie in the street, he preferred breaking the lamp, although subjecting himself to the degradation of becoming a felon." Here we have an example of the effect of the law of settlement in a union now existent. Had this union not been individually interested in saving a trifle of food, it would have been spared the expenses of maintaining a criminal. The magistrates, however, thought such a state of things ought not to continue, and called for a return of similar cases from the chief constable, when it appeared that "the average number of persons in a state of destitution who have applied to the police for relief, in consequence of the refusal of the master to take them in, may be taken at ten each night during the months of November and December, 1850, and January, 1851- 92 nights, 920 persons." The number in the early part of February applying under similar circumstances amounted to thirteen per night for the first fifteen nights of the month, being 195, thus making a general amount of 1,115 persons totally unprovided for during the nights of the late winter, and the whole of this be it remembered has taken place in a union. Truly the law of settlement works well in enjoins, but luckily the statement has drawn attention, for the clerk to the board was ordered to wait upon the magis trates, for this evil is now carried to such a fearful ex tent that it affects the peace and safety of the ratepayers, as well as the increased charge which it brings upon them for the support of persons in prison. Here is an example of how crime is promoted, and that in unions. Once the prison door shuts upon a human being, character is for ever gone, self-respect abandoned, and the man lost to society beyond hope of redemption. The law also produces crowding or hoarding together, and the same will under union settlement continue, whe ther it be union in town or country. The rural districts are almost barren of domiciles, and the towns lack ac commodation, and thus the needy are necessitated to seek shelter in places, to view which humanity shudders. These things are of course known to those who have been in parish offices, but for the uninformed another ex ample will show forth the effect of crowding. Mr. Hut chinson, surgeon, says:—" I was sent for to attend a poor Irish woman in labour at half-past six o'clock yesterday morning at 17, Fox and Knot-court. There were three families, each consisting of a man and wife and two children, in a small room, fifteen feet by eight, all lying upon dirty rags on the floor. I found one of the children suffering under small-pox. The ad joining room was occupied by six grown-np persons and two children." And another authority says—" We know a single house—not a large one—with sixty per sons in it; many of them married, and have their beds placed in the midst of single persons of both sexes. The children have beds on the floor. Close to this scene there is a mother, her adult son, ,a daughter 17 years of age, and a boy about 12, who wash, eat and sleep, in a small place like a coal-hole; and in Birming ham it is said that in some parts of the town whole fa milies, consisting of 50,000 persons, are dwelling in 2,000 courts, which are entered from the street by a passage three or four feet wide." What but a depression of morals and increase of crime can flow from such domestic training! every inquiring mind must ejaculate. But why this choking up? The answer is—Examine the question, and it will be found that the law of settlement is the centre round which the whole revolves. The destitute are first treated as idle, then vagrants, next impostors, and then anger drives them to crime. Change the law into union settle ments to-morrow, and the same distressing results will be the consequence. The picture is bad enough, but it is nothing to what may be found in other towns and in the metropolis. Read the evidence about the lodg ing. houses, in which human beings, our brethren, are promiscuously packed, where persons may be dying of some contagious disease, nay, from which some victim of typhus fever has just been carried forth to the grave, and the children, too, become precocious in vice and enter upon premature decay. It is stated upon authority of Government that the question of the law of settlement* is this session to be brought under the consideration of Parliament. Then let us hope that each one will direct his attention to the question, so that every Member of the Legislature may be enabled by his constituents' information to demand from the Government the entire abolition of the law of settlement.—l am, Sir, &c., M.

M. SOYER AND HIS MAGIC STOVE AT SHEFFIELD. A large portion of the elite of Sheffield have visited M. Soyer, the ruler of the kingdom gastronomic, at the Cutler's Hall, and had the gratification of beholding the redoubtable chef-de-cuisine himself exhibit the capa bilities of his magic stove. On a large table were dishes of chops, kidneys, &c., most temptingly displayed, and so artistically arranged that to use the words of an humble disciple of the kitchen, "it looked a pity to dis turb them." On a small tray, in the centre of the table, a Lilliputian apparatus of brass and copper, in two divisions, weighing altogether no more than 31b. 2oz. was placed before the operator. The stove has a furnace opening with a flue near the bottom, adjoining to which is fixed a vessel with two receptacles for spirits of wine. Connected with the bottom reservoir are two burners with their wicks. The flame from one of these wicks acting on the upper reservoir, a stream of vapour rushes down a tube connecting it with the wick at the mouth of the stove flue, and a large body of flame rushes into the stove and all is ready. The kitchen fire, as M. Soyer said, is ready in half a minute. Over the stove may be placed a frying-pan, stew-pan, sautd-pan, or other culi nary vessel, and " presto," the cutlets, kidneys, or eggs are done it nzerveille, in almost no time. In this way Dutton cutlets were cooked before the spectators, and refreshed with a little of M. Soyer's own "relish," which by the way would have astonished the Roman epicure with a new delight, were handed to the admiring visitors for their approval. Many could scarcely have conceived that the flesh of the ordinary wether sheep could con tribute material out of which any magic stove could conjure cutlets so far transcending any previous experi ence of mutton. " Tho cutlets are delightful," said a lady visitor, " and then M. Soyer is such a thorough gentleman!" Poached eggs, or as they are named by If. Soyer himself, " les a'ufs au mirrior," possessed the same potent spell, and it was really wonderful with what ease and rapidity he achieved the most exquisitely fla voured dishes by his cheap and portable apparatus. Magic indeed 1 it appeared to us far more magical than any :hing we have recently seen at the hands of professors of legerdemain. Connected with the magic stove is a magic kitchen, adapted as well for the overland route as a modest pic-nic. Bachelors may defy the annoyances of " genteel lodgings," and travellers may now laugh at the blundering cook of " mine host " without fearing the consequence of a spoiled dinner. There has been a strong demand for these stoves wherever they have teen exhibited, and Sheffield, we are glad to learn, was no Exception. Soyer has made and will make many happy Den, for assuredly good temper waits on good dinners and good digestion. Net doubt many of our townsmen will visit Soyer's salon restaurant at Gore House, Lon dm, which it is said will be one of the most agreeable aid " refreshing" reminiscences connected with the great Exposition.—Sheffield Iris. TILE WINDOW DUTIES.—The amount of window day assessed in the year ending sth April, 1850, was 1,92,889/., and the amount received was 1,832,6841, the number of houses charged being 489,034. TEN CHILDREN AT A BlRTH.—Under the foregoing somewhat startling title, we perceive, in a recent number of the Notes and Queries, a communication, the writer of which rays—" I have just seen widow Platts, a poor but decent woman, who keeps a small greengrocer's shop in Westbar, Sheffield. She says she was born in Spring-street, in that town, on the 29th of September, 1781, and well remembers her surprise, when told by her mother that she was one of ten children born at the same time." The periodical above named contains a number of particulars, the object of which is to verify what the writer may well term " one of the most remarkable instances of abnormal fecundity in an in dividual of the human species recorded in modern times."— She field Times. aHE MOON AT MID-DAY.—The John 0' Groat Journal mentions that on Tuesday week the moon was dis tinctly visible at Wick at noon, although the sun was shining brilliantly. Old sailors regard such a phenomenon as indi cative of a storm, likely to Le all the more severe if the stars too are visible • and curiously enough a storm did se t in on the afternoon Of that day. In a separate paragraph the Journal says—" On Tuesday afternoon last, it came on to blow from the south, and has continued in that direction since then, with cold showers and biting blasts. A number of Buckie crews ran here for shelter, and got in with enough to do, late in the evening." A Norwegian schooner, since ar rived at Wick, was caught in a gale in the north sea on the day previous (Monday), and was obliged to throw a heavy deck load of timber overboard. FALL OF THE NIAGARA. FALLS. -- has been another fall from the rock over which the stream at Niagara runs. A correspondent of the New York Tribune thinks it possible that people now alive may . see these celebrated Falls converted into a rapid, or a succession of rapids. The l e d ge of rock extends about a quarter of a mile back from the cataract beyond that, the Niagara is said to be a hundred feet deep, or even deeper; when, therefore, th e groat fall d9ep time , cu ) a , be A PPid.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, MARCH 29. —Consumption is going on steadily, and to-day prices are firmly maintained. MANCHESTER, MARCH 29. At our market this morning we have a slender attenda nc e of the trade, the business passin g in each article is restricted. Wheat and flour are held firmly at the extreme rates of thi s day se'rinight. Oats and oatmeal are each rather dearer. English and Egyptian beans are placed at an advance of 6d to is per quarter. Other articles as before. NOTTINGHAM, MARCH 29.—We had but a small show of wheat from the growers to-day, and the demand being good it met with a ready sale, at an advance of is per quarter.

CORK, MAucti 23. We have had but few arrivals of foreign grai n since our last, and those of home growth have been very small, the receipts for the week being only : Wheat, 45 brls, at 18s to 19s per brl ; barley, 155 brls, at 101 to 12s 3d per brl ; oats, 2,135 brls, at 7s 8d to 11s 8d per brL We have no change in the prices of grain in the green market. Holders of foreign wheat are very firm, and look for higher rates, which, however, we believe they have not yet succeeded in obtaining. A fair business has been done in the article at fully the rates of last week. In oats there is a firmer feeling, sod holders evince more confidence. We have not, however, heard of any actual transactions in this grain. We quote the value of the article 9s to 9s 3d for black, and 9s 9d to 105 per barrel for white oats. The flour market is decidedly firmer, and an increased business has been done in the article (for which a good consumptive demand exists), but millers have not as yet been able to establish an advance of price. Indian corn remains without change. The demand for the article is but moderate, and there is no alteration whatever in its value. Barrels.
