The prices at the market on the Saturday were
about the .me,; but it was • small market on account
of the fair.

-I(iVit- ordinary members of the committee were then
balloted for, with the following remit : Qu. M. S. Lee, 12:
Col. sergeant Roberts, 42: Corporal Russell, 42: Sergeant
Cross, 98 ; Sergeant Jeffery, 31 Corporal Warren, 13,
Private Stockting, I.
The MATO/ mid the result of the ballot showed they
appreciated the services of those who were on the com-
mittee lest year, and he den sred the first five elected.
Lieut GE.OIIOII proposed "That the beat thanks of the
corps be off-red to the Mayor (J. Loath., Esq.), for the
handsome prise given at the annual competition. (Ap-
plause) On behalf of the corps, he begged to thank the
Mayor. (Applause.) He was sure that when such
gentlemen 111. his Worship took such an Interest in it by
giving each prizes, volunteering will never go back. •
Dr. TIZIALI, with much pleasure, seconded, adding he
was quite sure the Mayor would he equally good on a
future occasion. (Laughter and applause.)
The MAT°g was very much obliged to Lieut. George and
Dr. Tinged, for the kind way in which they bad been
Pleased to allude to his poor services The cup he had
been exasedingly pleased to give, and it spurred, &word-
ing to Dr. Tined, that he was almost expected to give the
same in the year to come. From Capt. Gluon he had
received • rather long letter; but in it the Captain said
he regretted much not being able to be prnent with the
corps at their annual meeting, and begged to enclose •
cheque for I:2 3a. sea memento that he had not forgotten
the corps, Dapplasiae.) The Mayor then congratulated
them on their greatly increased efficiency in numbers;
the egditiest pl4B wane year appeared to him quite un-
precedented In this or any similar corpa it waa a proof
that no mem love of novelty induced them to loin, while
the names of so many gentlemen being on the summates
hears testimony to their continued interest. One or two
drawbacks exist; one, that 12 failed to make themselves
efficient, and thus lost the sum of £lB to the corns. It
might have been inevitable ; but it was a pity that BO
many should have failed to make themselves dicient and
obtain the capitation grant; he waa quite sure that the
suggestion on the report-that the money be recovered
from them-would not have to he carried out; but that
all would make themselves ecient The deficiency of
£l4l was unsatisfactory; but one upect of that matter
should not be bided over, and he coupled with that fact
the meion of that very debt; It was their wealth of
of numbers whi **had produced the poverty In their cir-
cumstance& They bad grown op out of proportion to the
fondly mutts, and beyond those of the head of the family
to meet; but he hoped the secretary

were the claims of tie rifle carps brought before it so

whatever has been in the past anything like playing at

may be in store. (Hear, hear.) He did not want to be an
