FRIDAY.

Mr. S. lizaarwr stated the conditions on which it
was proposed by the Government to accept the services
of volunteer corps, rifle and artillery, and to issue to
each coups a certain proportion of arms.
Mr. 0. STANLEY drew attention to the statement
made by Mr. Dennis at a public meeting of the electors
of Northampton, that an offer had been made to Mr.
Gilpin by the agents of the late Government to influ-
ence his vote in Parliament, and called upon the Sec-
retary of the Poor Law Board to communicate the let-
ters referred to by him, with the name of the person
from whom they originated, to the House. In the
course of his observations he stated the remelt of • com-
munication he had had with Mr. Dennis in connexion
with the alleged offer, commenting upon the course
taken by Mr. Gilpin in the matter, and insisting that
lie was bound to give up the mune of the party.
Mr. C. GILPIN repeated what he had previously
stated, that letters had been sent to him containing
suggestions wLich, if acted upon, would have biased his
political course in Parliament; that he could not trace
them to agents of the Conservative party, and that
therefore it was not his intention to take any further
steps in the matter. He added that the writer of the
letters was a lady ; that to ask for the name was an

inquiry which he should not have thought a gentleman
would have wade; and he declined to give it.
After a short discussion the !subject dropped.
Mr. JAMES asked the Attorney-General whether it
was the intention of Her Majesty's Government to
bring in any measure to remedy the delay which now
exists in the trial of causes in the Matrimonial and
Divorce Court?
The ATTORNET-OENERAL explained the causes of
delay, and stated that a measure would be introduced to
improve the Court, which he hoped would pass during
the present sessions.
The Newspapers, k.c., Bill was read a second time.
The House adjourned until Monday.

MURDER AND SUICIDE IN EDINBUNGH.—A Mr. and
Mrs. Ferrier were recently found lying dead in their
kitchen, with their throats cut. It was at on sus-
pected that the man had been the perpetrator of this
crime, and the suspicion was confirmed by the disco-
very of a slip of paper, on which were written the fol-
lowing words :—" lam now unfit for my business. I
have applied to the authorities of both Ayr and Eiin-
burgh for protection and only got laughed at. I now
appeal to God. I should wish to be laid beside my boy,
but if this woman is to be laid there let my body be
given to the dissecting-room, and after they have done
with ine let my body be burned." On the same paper
there were also instructions given as to the management
of some property of which he was the proprietor, and
the whole was distinet/y written. It may be inferred
from the words in the above-quoted sentence—" but if
this woman is to be laid there"—that Ferrier had
written his testament in the interval between his cut-
ting the throat of his wife and his own suicide. The
deceased were nearly IP years of age. Mrs. Ferrier was
a woman of intemperate habits, and she and her husband
had of late had frequent quarrels.

Gov . K SI'PPORT FOR RIFLIt CLUB/I—The
new Secretary at War has intimated that the Govern-
ment, as a modification of what the late Ministry did,
intend to furnish rifles as far as may be necessary for
the instruction of members of rifle clubs. One rifle out
of five will be supplied, that number being sufficient for
all purpoaes of practice. In case, however, of the corps
being called out for duty, the Government will supply
the whole number required, reserving to themselves the
right of ownership, and requiring that the arms should
be properly taken care of.
Tire Comer Derxxcvs.—A reply to the resolutions

has not been lost sight of by Her Majesty's Government,
the armament of Clifford's Fort having been already
prepared, and probably by this time sent to its destine-
, tion ; that the armament for Tynemouth Castle has
' been entered, and will be supplied with as little delay
as possible; and that measures are now in contempla-
tion for preparing and arming the works of the Spanish
Battery, at the mouth of the river.

available even beyond the anticipations of the Cons-
The carriage, muuntoil with one of the heavy
'leo guns of artillery, although destined for a much
smaller calibre, underwent a succession of eighteen
rounds, fired with a supplinientary charge of powder,
without exhibiting the slightest indication of damage of
any kind. The success of the trial was received with
considerable satisfaction, as the effect to he obtained by
the weapon will mainly depend on its equipment. The
new carriage, constructed without any additional ex.

pease, is fitted with mechanical contrivances for adjust-
mg and working the gun under all its requirements by a
single gunner seated on the limber. With the left hand
be is enabled to point the gun at an object by raising or
depressing it, and with the right hand to work the top
of the carriage on a small °entre pivot, without the
necessity of any exertion or labour, so as to traverse

ciple, is under construction fur shipboard.

CORONATION DAY.—Those who had anticipated $
day's holiday and out-door amusement on day
were, as in many other places, sadly c: issppointed,
the rain descending from daylight until dark mo as
to keep everybody at home. The shops were all
closed, and the town wore the appearance of some
sad calamity having befallen it. With the exception
of a few cannon fired off in the morning not a sound
was heard nor a person to be seen • indeed, a more
dismal day cannot well be imagined. Some mosey
had been collected for the purpose of out-door amuse-
ments and rural sports, and our townspeople net
liking to lose their pleasure decided on keeping the
holiday on Friday last, when the weather turned
out to be all that could ho wished. The use of &
large field adjoining the town was obtained for the
sports, and was gaily decked with a quantity of
flags of various devices Boating proudly in the
breeze. In the early part of the day a great many
persons assembled and enjoyed the manly games of
cricket, quoits, archery, foot-races, Itc. As the
evening drew on a largo number of the fair sex
graced the field with their presence, and the ap-
pearance of the ladies on the beautiful green sward
appropriated for dancing was the general signal tor
putting an end to the athektic games. Dancing now
commenced in right earnest, and polkas, quadrilles,
and country dances quickly followed each other, to
the enlivening 'trains of an excellent braes hand
which had been specially engaged for the occasion.
At nine o'clock the festivities were terminated, to
the regret of all, by the playing of " God Nave the
Queen. Much credit is duo to all concerned for
the excellent manner in which the arrangements of
the day were carried out.

PR= DAY AT MARLBOROUGH COLLYG —Tues-
day Let was the annual Prize Day at Marlborough
College, and it being the custom te invite a large
number of the pupils' friends to attend the distribu-
tion, the main street of the picturesque old town of
Marlborough wore an air of bustle and gaiety
throughout the day which it does not often assume.
Although the College was not, as on the last occa-
sion, honoured with the presence of Royalty, there
has never been a larger attendance of visitors at any
previous commemoration. It would probably have
been still larger but for the Handel Festival at the
Crystal Palace. As to the College itself we are
glad to be able to state that it is in a most flourish-
ing condition. As usual, the proceedings com-
menced by the celebration of Divine service in the
College Chapel. Prayers were read by the Rev. C.
W. Taylor, and the lessons by the senior prefects,
Mr. Ebert and Mr. Robinson. There was no
sermon. A collection was made at the close of the
service amounting to .£lB 14s. 9d. which is to be
added to a fund recently raised by the pupils them-
selves for effecting improvements in the interior of
the buildings. These improvements it is intended
to carry out during the vacation.

Barley,

At the principal provincial corn marketa on Saturday
last, there was • greatly improved supply of wheat, the
advanee made in the London market in the early part of
the week leading many to hope that they would be able
to realise better terms than those of the pan few weeks.
However, the madmen were not very ready purchasers,
and the trade assumed • very dull aspect. Offers were
made of less money, but dealers did not like for a long
time to give way. In the latter part of the day a fair
quantity appears to have been disposed of at terms a
little more in favour of the buyer.

FRIDAY.

The Earl of Ripon stated that it was the intention of
Her Majesty's Government to carry out the views of
the late Administration with regard to the late enrol-
ment of Volunteer Corps. He explained that applica-
tions had been received from 12 Volunteer Corps in
consequence of the circular put forth by the late
Government. It was the intention of the present
Government to issue 25 stand of arms to every 100 men,
on the four following conditions :—That • safe range
of 300 yards should be provided for practice; that •
proper place should be appointed for keeping the arms ;
that the rules of each corps should be sanctioned by the
Government; and that a periodical inspection should
be made by a proper military officer. In ease, how-
ever, of an invasion the Government would be prepared
to supply every corps with aims. It was also proposed
to provide drill sergeants for each corps, who would be
paid, not by the Government, but by the corps them-
selves. The services of a number of adjutants and ser-
geants belonging to the disembodied militia, who were
receiving instructions at the School of Musketry, at
Hythe, would be soon rendered available to instruct
the various companies of Volunteers. It was the inten-
tion of the Secretary of War to allow the officers of
the corps at their own expense to attend the School of
Instruction at Hythe. The Government also contem-
plated the formation of artillery companies, which
would be supplied with instruction guns and ammuni-
tion by the Royal Artillery. Enfield rifles would be
issued to the embodied militia after they bad been
instructed to use them. It was intended not to give,
but to lend the anus to the Volunteer Corps.
After a few remarks from several peers, the Duke of
Swimmer said that there had been no reductions in the
estimates. On the contrary, the Government were
convinced of the necessity of keeping the defences of the
country in • state of thorough efficiency.
The House adjourned at half-past 7 o'clock.

NEWS Fang BniTlsif CoLUMBIA.—The correspon-

miles below Fort Hone to that place on Fraser River,
yell an average of five dollars a day to the hand,
but that the ?Moen, not satisfied with go small a return,

tieveral of the "barn" on the river were yielding five
dollars to eight dollars to the man. One man, with
a rocker, made thirty-nine dollars in five days, and

the week after made twenty-one dollars in three days.
"This is a little above the average, none making less
than five dolLu-s per day, and some reaching
eight dollars." The town of Yale is itself situated on
rich diggings; and the site of the principal street
was to be vacated, " with a view to the introduction
of a string of sluices and washing for gold." All

tho success of the miners, the mineral' average earn-
ings being the standard of value of all other labour.

serve of 80.000, and the allies theirs of 50,000. It was
a moat critical moment, three hours of general fighting
ending to the advantage of the allies. The victory can-
not be grudged ; it was well earned, and is complete. U.

COUNT! BRIDGIS MID BUILDINGS.

Mr. OICCDON read the quarterly report of the Bridge
and Building Committee. The accounts had been ex-
amined and found correct, and the Committee recom-
mended that the surveyor's report on the county bridges,
involving • very small outlay, should be carried out.
The road to be repaired by the county adjoining
Edward's Bridge, Corte Castle, was being constantly
washed away. The Trustees of the Wareham Turn-
pike road had agreed to lower their part of the road
and so prevent the injury for the future, if the county
would do the same to their portion of the road. The
estimate for the entire work was £lOO, the portion of
which pertaining to the county was about En. At
Blandford there was no justice room. Hitherto the
corporation of that town had granted the use of the
Townhall for the purpose, but having gone to consider-
able outlay in buildings, they now asked an anneal rent
of £l2, which the magistrates of the division recom-
mended the Court to agree to. The expenses for the
quarter had been :
Bridges
Gaol ...
Hall ...
House

£ s. d.
89 15 1
158 10 11
36 13 3
10 0 7

And the Committee recommended the usual sum of
2600 to be placed at their Chairman's disposal for current
.dishoinsroenta.

liii reed the County Surveyor's report,
which stated that the bridges were nearly all in • sub-
stantial state, end that the repairs needed were not of a
serious nature. The amount estimated for the Craw-
ford bridge work was about INS—for iron instead of
wo=roets—which were rotting. The Chairman
n that with reference to lowering the hill near
Corte Castle, which had been alluded to, the question
WM/ Obt. entirely for she Court's judgment—whether
they were of opinion that lowering the hill could be
considered • component part of the reparation of the
road.

- °lame said the proposition was mado to avoid
reLvaration in reslity.
The Cgalta, after lamenting the imperfection of
certain ritualists., stated that by an Act of Henry VIII.
the Co..irt were bound to repair roads within 300 feet
eta kridge. The report was then adopted.

TAVISTOCK.-OpPiiiiil of the lock Railway.
—The railway connecting Plymouth and Tavistock
waa opened on Tuesday. It is 16 piles in length.
The opening train, in which were the directors of
the company. and of the Associated Great Western,
Bristol and Exeter, and South Devon Companies, a
select number of friends, shareholders, and others,
left Plymouth at 1.30, and ran over the 16 miles, so
as to bring up within the Tavistock station in liitle
more than 35 minutes. There was no perceptible
deflection in the viaduct, and all the made ground
appeared to be well consolidatml. On the platform
the directors were met by the Portreeve of Tavistoek,
accomoanied by a nniuber of the leading inhabitants,
supported by thousands of people of all classes in
holiday costume. A d.cjefiner afterwards took
place, at which speeches, appropriate to the occasion,
were delivered.

HON ITON.—During the past week a very handsome
stained glass window has been placed in St. Paul's
Church, in this town, in memory of the late Mrs.

illness at Exeter, through which city she was passing '
to Torquay.
COKNWALL.—A Bar will attend the Cornwall
Quarter Sessions in future, where hitherto there has
been none. This is the necessary consequence of the
railway. Mr. E. W. Cox, the Recorder of Fal-
, mouth and Helston, Mr. Plumptre and others from
the Plymouth Bar, have announced this to solicitors
practising as advocates at the Cornwall Sessions, but
adding that it is not their purpose to claim exclusive
audience. In pursuance of this arrangement, the
Crown has appointed Mr. R. W. Cox, as the leader
of the now Coniwall Bar, to the offices of counsel for
the Crown in the Mint, Admiralty, and Treasury
prosecutions at these sessions.

for their disappointments. The first plaintiff is a
Sir sempstress of 56, and the defendant a lively

1529. About seven years beck he made the marriage
settlement, but subsequently changed his mind, end
the settlement still remains in the hands of the soli-
citor. The plaintiff in the second case is a virgin of
62, and the defendants jolly butcher of 68. This
engagement WAS contracted when the plaintiff at-
, Mined her twentieth per. The appointed time for
' the marriage was the first Friday in May. The pro-
miae was annually repeated until the present year,
when the "gay deceiver" finally made up his mind
and refused to marry.

nipple of beasts was on offer in to day's market, in fair
condition. For all breeds we experienced a heavy
demand, at barely Monday's currency. The show of
sheep was large, and the mutton trade ruled very
inactive. In prioss, however, no quotable change took
place. Large numbers of lambs on offer, and the inquiry
for them was heavy, at late quotation'. Calves in good
supply and slow request, at barely late raw. Pigs and

SOMERSET MIDSUMMER SESSIONS.

The county business at these Sessions was transacted
on Tuesday, at the Shirehall, Taunton. Sir W. Miles,
Hart, M.P., presided over a very numerous attendance
of magistrates. The Chairman, in charging the grand
jury, congratulated them on the state of the calendar.
Although there appeared to be an increase of prisoners,
yet when they took those who were tried by these
courts and those who had been tried under the Criminal
Justice Act, they would find that the number for trial
this sessions was 4o; under the Criminal Justice Act,
from spring to midsummer—West, 34, FAst, ; 73;
total 11$; whilst in the corresponding period last year
there were 46 for trial; and 63 were tried under the
Criminal Justice Act; no that the 10 additional pri-
soners appeared to have been derived from those
smaller offences which came under that Act. There
was nothing particular in the calendar to call their
attention to. He had recently looked over the accounts
of the Coady Constabulary, and having had a state-
ment presented him by their chief officer, of the
expenses attending that body for the last 3 years, he
would tell them exactly what that cost was, because
there was a feeling throughout the county that the cost
would be very much indeed, and greatly add to the
county charge. When the county constabulary was
first established, he calculated it would cost about lid.
a year out of the county rate. He now found that it
cost lid. and ith of a penny ; sod that was the actual coat
for the last three years, which he considered was very
satisfactory; and as the costs of these bodies were fre-
quently presented to Parliament, it was gratifying to
know that they had a very good and efficient corps at
such a trifling expense. The learned Chairman then
dismissed the Grand Jury to their duties.
