PRESENTATION OF A SILITtE BUGLE
TO THE 74TH RIFLES.

On Saturday afternoon the 74th Company of Volun-
teer Rifles mustered et their drill-room, St. Anne-street,
prepararory to proceeding tcz the residence of Mr. Conn-
oilier Kitchen, in West Derby. Shortly after two
o'clock, the corps, preceded by aide efficient band,
started for West Derby, where they arrived at about
half-past three o'clock. At the house of their enter-
tainer nothing was wanting that :could conduce to the
conlfott of the volunteers; the spacious and handsome
lawn in front of the house had been specially decorated
for the occasion, and over the entrance to the house was
a white flag, on which ivas the one word "Welcome."
The corps, iiiimbeting about 120 men, assembled on
the lawn; 'they, were divided into two companies,
of which the offfcers in command were as.follows :
Ist Company—Captain Willings, Lieutenant Ashley,
and Ensign J. Goodman liitclaerr: 2nd Company—
Captain Turner, Lieutenant Steble, and Ensign White.
The following gentlemen were among those present --
Alderman Woodruff, Daniel Crosth waite, Rev. Mr.
Twist, William Preston, Esq. ; Dr. Watts, J. Robinson,
Esq. ; W. Irving, Esq. ; H. Claston, and W. R. Duncan.
The 'Volunteers were first of all put through their drill,
and the manner in which they executtd the various
evolutions commanded the universal admiration of all
present, and was most creditable both to themselves and
their officers. After about an hour had been occupied
in this Manilla—
Miss It irclitr:r *plied forward and presented the silver
bugle to Captain Willings. She delivered the following
appropriate speech, during the delivery of which she ItitS
frequently interrupted by the hearty cheering of the Volu-
nteers :—CaptainWillings and Officers and Members of the
St. Anne's Volunteer Rifle Corps,—l am desired by my
dear parents to bid you a hearty welcome, and be assured
that I do so with mingled feelings of satisfaction and
admiration in seeing that, from St. Anne's Ward, so fine
and numerous a body of young men have formed them-
selves into a corps premising soon to be second to none
either in numbers or efficiency in military discipline,
notivithstarding the previous formation of so many corps
in the good old fovea. You are doubly welcome, coming
from a district in itfrielr. we all, more or less, take so

lively an interest. Fidelity to your Queen, whom you
have sworn to defend—duty to yotit country, which you
are determined to protect—animate in you a steadfast
and magnanimous fellowship in the arduous military
exercises you are called upon to perform, and in which
you have this day so creditably acquitted yourselves. In
so noble and loyal an enterprise—in so sacred and just
a eattse—you have with you my heart-felt sympathies,
as well as those of the ladies of Liverpool and the
country generally: Go forth then, steadily, in your
honourable vocation, a'ud should that unhappy hour
ever arrive (which Gad forbid), when England's sons
shall be called upon, at the peril of their lives, to defend
her peaceful shore and her happy homes from the
scourge of ruthless: invaders, may the bugle I have
now the honour to present to the gallant 74th be the
first to sound the advance and the last to sound the
retreat, and may their banner never be unfurled without
adding additional lustre to the corps.
Captain Wrctasos briefly and feelingly expressed his
thanks. Ite felt that day to be the happiest one in his
life ; and he trusted, if ever that day of danger alluded
to bp Miss Kitchen should arrive, there was not one man
of kid those around him who would not be ready and
willing to respond' to. the bugler's call. He hoped that,
if ruthless invaders would ever dare to desecrate the soil
of England, Englishmen would remember the glorious
victories achieved by their sires at Cressy, Poictiers, and
Agincourt. After further similar rernarksf he concluded
his address amid loud applause.
The bugle was manufactured by Messrs. Jordan, and
is as good in quality as it is handsome in appearance and
dedgn. The volunteers then partook of luncheon, which
was provided in a most liberal style, in a tent on the
green. The health of Mr. Kitchen and family was
received with enthusiasm, and accompanied by three
hearty cheers. Each of the guests having satisfied his
inner man at the expense of his liberal entertainer, foot-
ball, racing. and other amusements, wiled away the
hours until it was time to depart, when the corps re-
formed and marched home.

VOLUNTEERS AND TOLLBARS.—THE LATE REVIEW'
AT AINTREE.-At the county magistrates' court,
Basnett-street, on Saturday, an information was laid
against Thomas Parkinson, the collector of the tolls at
Walton, which created a considezable amount of interest,
and the result will show that volunteers, when in uni-
form and on duty, arc exempt from the payment of tolls.
This case arose from the stopping of Dr. Neill's groom
at Walton tollbar on the day of the review at Aintree,
and the collector enforcing payment from him for Col.
M'Murdo, the inspector-general, and for Dr. Neill, who was
accompanying Colonel M'Murdo as his aide-de-camp for
the day, both being in uniform and on horseback, and
having claimed exemption as " officers in uniform on
duty." The magistrates, after hearing the facts, retired,
and after a long consultation decided that the offence
was fully proved, and fined the defendant ss. and costs.
The second summons, for demanding the toll of Colonel
M'Murdo, was withdrawn.

GARIBALIM ESCURSIONISTS.—On Saturday evening,
the young men who had volunteered to make an excur-
sion to Italy, Naples, and Rome, for the purpose of
rendering assistance to Garibaldi, mustered at the
drill-room, Devon-street. They were briefly addressed
by Captain Hampton, and were then marched to
the Lime-street station. They were attended by a
large number of the several volunteer companies,
and the band of the 12th, which played some
popular airs. They left the station amidst the most
enthusiastic cheering of a large concourse of persons
who had assembled to bid them farewell. We under-
stand that the wives of some of the volunteers were
anxious to be allowed to accompany their husbands, but

this was not permitted.
