The competition al the close excited considerable
interest, Messrs. Ridout, Green, Gulliver, /deaden and
Light being close together. As will be seen train the
shove, fortune favoured the Light gentleman, who
carried of the prise with a eitore of 35, private Gulliver
being • good second with a score of 34.—At the con-
clusion three-sides of • square were formed, and the
successful competitor advaneing to the centre, was
congratulated by the worthy baronet, who stated that
he was sorry the young lady who presented the last cep
was not able to be present, and also that Lady D'Oyly
was also •in indisposed as to be prevented from coming.
It gave him much pleasure in handing the cup which
had been so hardly won. The contest had been very
close and exciting, and he trusted he would long be
spared to gain many other prises.—To this address
Private Light returned • suitable answer. Three
hearty cheers were then given for the sucoesafal Dom.

BRIDGWATER. --"Remember, remember, the
fifth of November," seems to be a line ,4 an old
rhyme which meets with the approval of many of the
inhabitants of Bridgwater. As soon as darkness bad set
in oe Thureday evening, the sound of the discharge of
fireworks met the ear in all parts of the town, and •
tolerably-good vise bonfire was to be seen on the lialuion-
Parade, and another, of smaller diuseasions, sei the
Cornbill. Men and boys, too, were to be seen in wiper-
abundance, dresaed in costumes, of every shape sges

TAUNTON.—Aainvat OF CAPTAIN Spill, TEO
DISOOVEILIII OF ?HI SOURCI OF TIM 1111.1 L—On Friday
the explorer of the Nile arrived at the nankin Railway
Station, where he wee met by his two brother., espied"
Spoke, of the West Somerset Yeomanry Geary, and
the Rev. Mr. Spoke. Sir Peregrine Adand, Bert,, Mr
A. A.. Hood, Bart, M.P., Major Napier, E. J. Eddie,
Wa!rood, Murdoch, A. and G. Badeock, Eisqrs., the
bailiffs of the Borough, and the principal gentry of the
town and neighbourhood. The gallant Captain, on
emerging from the station, was greeted by thousands
of persons with prolonged cheering. He took his seat
in • carriage drawn by four greys, and • procession was
then formed of the principal inhabitants of Tension,
the various benefit societies, and the chief schools
and collegiate institutions, to the Townhall, where Mr.
Reliance (one of the bailiff.), addressing Captain Spoke
said it was with feelings of the sincerest pleasure and
satisfaction that he performed the duty which had been
delegated to him and his brother bailiff by their fallow-
townsmen of tendering for his accentance the congratu-
latory address, which he now had the honour of reading.
It was feeble, but be naked him to believe, in the name
of the town of Taunton, that it was but the prelude to
that universal burst of sympathy which would find an
echo in every English heart, for one who had done so
much for the cause of silence, and that it would stimu-
late him still further to the performance of more heroic
deeds in that cause and in the service of his country.
(Loud cheers.) He should not commit the impertinence
of any further remark., but should at once common*a
to read the af.dress, which no. nxeived with great
applause.—Captain Snake was so loudly cheered on
rising that be could not proceed for some time. He
said be returned them his most sincere thanks for the
honourable way in which the town of Taunton had
addressed him. He wished be had words by which be
could express the feelings of his heart, but really this
great demonstration had quite overpowered him,
and he felt really quite unnerved by it. Five
years ago he had the great gratification
of discovering the source of the Nile, and christened
the late Victoria Nyanza after her gracious lraM
because he considered that his first duty.
cheers). He next christened a mountain Somerset,.
after his native county; and be also christened • river
Jordan, after his own family. (Renewed cheers.),
Afterwards he christened an archipelago Bengal, because
he was a Bengal officer; and as it was the spirit which•
moveth the man, so it was the spirit he felt within him
which moved him with pride and honour to name those
places after those be loved the most. (Great cheering.)
He thanked God that he had been enabled to carry out
the fervent desire of his heart, and show to the world
that the Nyanza was the source of the Nile. Many
would cavil at what he mid, and he doubted not that
many would still cavil, but notwithstanding whatever
they said be defied the whole world to say otherwise
than that the Victoria Nyman was the groat puree of
the Nile. and it ceased to exist as a river beyond those'
falls, which he had christened Ripon, in honour of the
nobleman who presided over the Royal Geographical
Society when be went out upon that expedition.
In the address which had been presented to him
they hoped he would be stimulated to still further
exertion, in the cause of science, and he need
only oat, as he did at Bristol last night, that it
WIWI his intention to explore Africa from east to west,
feeling convinced that he bad discovered the fertile pone
of that vast country--(loud cheers). Then they would
have no more Livingstones leading mini Wray, bet ttie
would find that rain and fine weather alienated, and
he trusted that missionaries would not be again &Mewed.
(Hear, hear). As much /L. he believed that he bad found
the source of the Nile, he believed he had found the
the African none, and nothing so fertile had hitherto
been found to surname it. He returned them many
thanks for the honour they bad done him—Seed cheers.)
—The Whirs were thanked for their kindness In
officiating on the occasion, and Mr. Salience said they
were exceedingly obliged, hoping that their future cons
dun would merit their future approbstion.—Thne
cheers were then given for the Queen, three for (apt.
Spoke's family, three for the ladies, and • parting tamer
for the gallant Captain—The procession was dun re-
formed, and proceeded to the Castle Hotel, where CAS.
Spoke went his way in his carriage to his ancestrel
home at Ilminster, the Yeomanry Cavalry and him
tenantry waiting to receive him.
