The CHAIRMAN said the nett toast which he had
to request them to receive WM that of ". to. Army,
Navy, Yeomanry and Volunteers." It was a source
of regret that the first two of those eerviees were on.
represented on that ()cession. As regarded the navy
he felt quite confident that If the son of his esteemed
friend at his right hand (Sir, W. litedlycott), had
been present to respond to the toast, he would have
received& warm and generous weloome from those he
saw around him. As to both the army and navy, what
they had done was written and emblazoned on the
pages of history, and needed no comment from him,
but he would venture to believe that the present
soldiers and sailors of this countryl if the necessity
should arise, would prove that they were worthy of
their sires They would be prepared on every
occasion to devote all their energies to the service of
their oountry, thus proving that they still possessed
the same cool intrepidity and courage that animated
their ancestors under Wellington. In speaking of
the Volunteers, the Chairman remarked that they
found thousand from all classes of society who had
combined and united themselves together, thus form-
ing a magnificent form for the defence of their
country. To that force was due, on the part of
England, her sincere gratitude and admiration. As
regarded the force with which he was connected,
they also were animated with feelings of the same
generous character, and they also would be prepared,
should the occasion arise, to peril their lives in the
service of their country. He had before omitted one
' point. He had very great pleasure in seeing, on his
left hand, a gentleman who was intimately connected
, with the Volunteer force of Sherborne, and he

SIR WILLIAM MEntvcorr..(who was greeted witd
much cheering) mid it might seem strange to them
that he should rise. Ent having been two and thirit
years in the Yeomanry of that county, he could,,
never consider himself as absent from them, and i
indeed he,Higi,im ,hunomry member of that mess I
now. Solite' of Alie.tnippiest days he ever spent,
were those while he was connected with the Yeo-
Manry, and he could only sincerely hope that any
farmer there who had • son old enough to join the
Yeomanry would at onetiMlvise him tojoin it. W hilei,
in the Yeomanry he (Sir William) met with nothing
but the greatest kindness and consideration from the
Members of that NAAS hd it afforded him great
gratificasion and pleasure to see so many old faces
before him in that room. Their worthy friend in
the chair had made referents to -his son. He wished
he had beeff'therb. And yet he was happy and
proud to say that he was doing his duty. By that

Sir N 1,11.14.04, in response to the burst of Cheering
which greeted his rising, thanked them sincerely for ]
the honour they had done him, and after contrasting
the emition of the Irish labourer with that of the i

ACOORDING to the Court Journal, the Queen will

Windsor for Osborne, where she will again speed a
quiet Christmas. But in January she is. to take up het

where extensive prepart&ons have been made for hey
reception. Then the brilliant festivities of an English
Court win, it is said, be resumed.

ART UNION OT GRIAT BRITAIN.—The list of prime
for the twelfth season of the above has just been limed
by the committee, from which,titfappears there ars
shout 1,200 prizes to be drawn for. The collection in.
cladesisomeivery superior works of are;tand the first,
second, third, and fourthlprizes are especially deserving
of high.oommendation. The firstiprize, 'valued at £l5O,
is a magnifice.4 painting, by A. J. Woolmer, Esq., •
member of the Society of Bridal Artists, London, th•
subject of it. being "Prospero's Isle," ride "Tempest'
(Ferdinand and Miranda Playing at Chess). It would
be difficult to over-rate the merit of this beautiful
picture, the colouring is so finely and naturally blended,
and light and shade are so truthfully delineated. The
work is highly calculatedito increase the popularity of
great artist, and would grata the walls of any mansion.
The seoood prize, value £l2O, is of an entirely different.
character, and is painted by John J. Wilson, Beg., or
the same society. The subject is—" Fishing Lugger' off
Dordogne Harbour." This picture is • very fine one,
replete with interest, and absolutely faultless in details.
A, large fishing lugger in the foreground is full of life,,
and gives *vivid idea of the reality. In the background the.
upper and lower towns of Boulogne are visible ; and the.
picture is, on the whole, of a most interesting chereeter..
'The third prize, value blifi, is • painting by that rayon-
-rite artiat, J. F. Herring. and represents a terra-yard oft
a market morning. It would be almost superfluous to
say this picture fundihes to the life the actual scene of
early morn int:the-farm-yard. The- animals, poultry,
and men are admirably painted, and it is altogether
another triumph for the artist. The fourth prise, values
£B4, is a scene from "Othello," act let, sone 3rd, when.
Brabantio says:—

Look toiler:moor ; have emit& Grit° see;
She has deceives her father, and may thee."
The principal figures 'are, of °curse, Othello, Desde-
mons, and Brabantio. The facial expression of all is
exceedingly good, and exactly conveys the meaning of
the scene. The most remarkable feature of the picture,
however, is the beautiful oolouring of the lady's dress;
this is absolute perfeation, and the artist, J. G.
Middleton, Esq., may indeed be proud of his work. The
remainder are all by first class artiste, and will be a
great acquisition ,to any party who may be fortunate
enough to obtain them. Altogether, there will be up-
wards of 1,200 prizes, and each ticket will have ono
chance for the highest as well as for each of the other
prizes distributed. The agents names, from whom
tickets (one ',shilling each) and lista offprizes may be
had, will be found in the advertisement.

In tile Court. The Daily Telegraph, whickidevotes an

arraigned, Thu decisively and promptly to return •

on the part of4the officials they,'were ,suppressed, for
the purpose of allowing the Clerk of Arraigns to take

again resumed. The late prisoner then walked out of

thronged around him to shake handle with him and offer
their congratulations. Ultimately he succeeded in
mehing his carriage, when he drove off with the mem-
bers of his family, amid waving of hats and other
manifestations of enthusiasm." And the Ooresopoiitan
wiads up an impressive article on "Free Trade in
Science" with the following "honourable mention" of
Dr. Hunter;—" In the case of Dr. Hunter, the injustice
of the law [requiring English registration regardless of
all colonial and foreign diplomas) is still more appa-
rent. Re is • native of England, the son of an

diploma in Canada—a part of the British Empire—his

probably greater than that CI any man in the world.
The coining Parliament will doubtlear batten to abolish
this 'disability' disgrace, as previous ones have done In
other matters, ,and allow free trade in science as wall as
in commerce, literature, end religion."

TERRIBLE RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
On. Wednesday a foal train, on the Vale of Reath
railway, approached the telescopic bridge, at Swansea,
which was open at the time to allow meals to pass,
and, by some unfortunate mistake, the engine was not
stopped, On coming to the opening the train at once
fell into the water beneath, drawing the waggons after
it—the whole being engulfed. Both the driver and
stoker were carried down with the engine, and were
drowned; but the guard; we learn, jumped off the train,
and his life was saved.
