VOLUNTEER MOVEMENTS

EPIRL or SHELBOURNE ON THE MOVEMENT.---On
Tuesday, on the occasion of the presentation of a silver
bugle and set of drums and colours to the. 11th Wilts
Volunteer Corps, the Earl of Shelbourne said he felt
doubly proud of the day's proceedings—first, because he
-was a resident in the county, and secondly, from his
connection with the Great Western Railway, to which'
most, if not all, of them belonged. (Hear, hear.),
Irrespective of their connection with that establishment,
and their efficiency as a body, he had come among them
that day to testify by his presence the deep and warm
interest he felt in this movement, as well as his desire to
further and promote any rational pursuit the men of
New Swindon might feel disposed to adopt. (Cheers.)
On this occasion they had taken up a pursuit that was,
not only of great interest to themselves, but of a noble
character in itself—(cheers)—and one which it well
became the great body of the people of this country- to
foster and promote by every possible means. (Cheers.)

PRESENTATION OF BUGLE TO THE " 7TII MIDDLESEX."
--A large assembly assisted on Tuesday in the grounds
of Lawn-house, Holloway-road, the residence of Mr.
Hale, at the presentation to the Islington Corps of
Volunteer Riflemen, officially known as the " 7th Mid-
dlesex," of a silver bugle, which had been subscribed
for by the ladies of the district.

SHOOTING-MATCHES AT GREAT YARMOUTH.—These
matches came off during last week. Prizes, valtied re-
spectively at £lO and £5, a Turner rifle, and a challenge
Cup, were awarded. The grand prize of the week was
the ladies' challenge cup, value £3O, presented by the
ladies of Yarmouth and its vicinity, the winner to hold
it for three years against all challengers of the corps, and
to be entitled to the distinction of champion shot for the
year. The ranges were 650, 700, 800, and 900 yards.
The shooting for this prize commenced on Thursday
afternoon and did not conclude until Saturday, when
Mr. Bly, who scored in all twelve points, was declared
the victor; the next highest were Messrs. Barlton, Wil-
shack, and Boreham, who made eleven each.
REVIEW AT YORK.—The arrangements for the review
of the several volunteer corps in the county of York
have at last been completed, and it is fixed to take place
on Friday, the 28th inst., on Kuavesmire, at York. In
the first instance it was simply proposed to review the;
west riding volunteers on the occasion, but communica-
tions were entered into with the lord-lientenant of the
north and east ridings, and the resalt was the decision to
extend the review to the whole of the county. It will,
therefore, possess a much greater interest than was
originally contemplated, and the event cannot fail to be
one of great importance. The several corps will no
doubt muster in their full strength, and it is expected
that about 4,000 men will be present.
VOLUNTEER FETE AT CHART,TON PARt, YESTERDAY.
—A Volunteer Pte was held yesterday, in the park and

Woolwich Theatre, comprised a grand concert, ballet,
morris and maypole dancing, classical grouping by Pro-
fessor Abel and troupe, equestrian circus, fire balloons,
concluding with a grand torchlight procession. The
band of the Royal Artillery and two Volunteer bands
were in attendance.

THE GOVERNMENT AND " THE PEMBROKESHIRE
VOLUNTEERS.—Two companies of Rifle Volunteers
have been formed in the hundred of Castlemartin, one
at Pembroke and the other at Pembroke Dock ; and
although a considerable tithe has uuvf elapsed since
their formation and election of dicers no intimation
of the acceptance of their services has been received, nor
have the officers' names appeared in the Gazette. This
delay is much to be deplored, as little doubt is enter-
tained that as soon as the above companies are seen
fairly under arms malty others will follow.

public meeting, held on Tnesday evening, in Stoke New-
ingtox, Mr. Singer, in
,seconding 4 motion of Lord
Sewell's, announced, amidst much applause, that the
arrangements for the proposed Ist Tower Hamlets
Corps were so economical as to permit all classes to join
without infringing much upon their purses. We are
happy to find that economy in uniform and other depart-
ments of the volunteer movement, is attracting attention
throughout the country.
