CAMP LIFE: A SITOGERTION FOR ITS
IMPROVEMENT.

To the fiVitors.

The camp of the rifle volunteers has, for the third
time, met with greet sumer. Whether it is practi-
cable or wise to make it an anneal affair, is doubtless,
• very open question ; and they may be right who
fear that too frequent repetition might cause • less of
interest both to the public and to the volunteers.
Be this as it may, all join in the wish to make the
camps. useful and as pleasant as possible. It is, I
fancy, agreed that each year, there has been but one
drawback, the difficulty which some of us have bad
in getting • good nights' rest after the work of the
day. Ido not by any means desire to complain of
the discipline of the camp at night. It is rather •
matter of wonder that so large • number of men, in
high opiate with the excitement of out-door life, and
subject to small restraint, should behave so well and
keep so quiet as they mostly do. But still it cannot
be denied that if the same quiet and silence mold be
procured in oar volunteer camp as is enforced in a
real military one, • very great amount of comfort
would be added. And it is equally sure that nineteen
tweotietbs of as in camp would heartily welcome
any discipline that would assure this end. It has
been suggested, and I would ventilate the suggestion
in the press, that no one should be allowed the
privilete of joining the camp who does not make •
personal promise to the captain of his company,
absolutely to observe the rules. In addition to the
ordinary powers of punishment now available, the
rules should include real fines to be really enforced
in reference especially to disorder or mere noise at
night. And each volunteer might be required to
deposit with his captain • small sum of money, say,
55., from which any possible fine might be paid, the
balance being returned after the camp tiMe. The
whole amount of deposit would not eroded the met
of the week's maintenance at home, and would, I
think, not deter the poorest among us from cowing.
It would, of course, be optional fer a captain to
exercise his own discretion, and be responsible him-
self for the payment of fines on behalf of any
individual to whom he might think such deposit to
be inconvenient. Ido not at all say that the sug-
gestion made, is the beet namable May of effecting
the desired object, but I do say that the very great
majority of us much desire perfect discipline in the
matter; and by raising talk on the subject among
ourselves, while it is fresh in our minds, we may
help our colonel to carry out, with satisfaction to all,
his well-known wishes

Iv a picturesque meadow, surrounded with un-
dulating hills, charmingly painted with golden,
yellow, and verdant green, with here and there •
valley wrapt in varied hue, were met on Thursday •
large oompaoy of ladies and gentlemen, the guests of

the worthy host and hostess need DO assurance of the

other amusements, rendered the field most animating,
whilat the varied hues of the ladies' dreries, blend-

I to the scene such as is seldom seen in Bradpole.
Daring the evening, borne on many • gentle sephyl
unheard, were the merry strains of Bruiport's peal,
which although accidental, was propitiously welcome.
As dusk approached the party, between 40 and 50,
withdrew to the residence of Mr. Way, and, after a
most bountiful and reetercA4 repast, concluded the
happy fete with some excellent music, which was
sustained by many of no ordinary talent. Subjoined

Cattle, of Corfo Castle, on the application of Mr. A.
Trevennen, for the defendant, the magistrates (C. W.

on Tuesday last, dismissing the summons on the
ground that it had been proved adultery had been

It is • novel case in this district, and has creatod

During last week is brilliant company aseembled

kindly and generous amongst the ariatocarry in this
part of the kingdom, and from Tuesday to Friday
cricket matches took plans on ground specially pre-
pared at greet labour end and in front o the manor
house, in which some of the most skilled amateur
players took pert. The park end grounds were
freely thrown open to all who choose to be premed,
and we need warmly say that many took advantage
of Sir Iver's courteous liberality to via* so charming
spot, mid to withal, the image pine of cricket as
exhibited at the heads of such skilled players. And
visitors were not seat empty away. A splendid
dinner wee provided by the steward (Mr. Lad) each
day, in coed the several tents which dotted the
park, and of this all were at liberty to partake.
The 110800 wee • goy and animated one : the hand-
*timely attired ladies maniketing the liveliest inte-
rest in the gams, which the criiiketem with manly
seal and skill were playing, the numerous visitors
parading around, the teats gaily bedight, and the
whole surrounded by Nature's beauties In their beat
gums, afforded a charming picture, and a

HARBOUR ACCOUNTS.

A long dissuasion took place respecting the harbour
account& Mr. Andrews, the treasurer, being present
to explain certain items. It appeared that the harbour
and bridge socounts bad been kept mixed up together
in other words, there always having been a Waves in
hand belonging to the bridge, such balance bad been
borrowed for the deficiency of the harbour. Mr. Pottle-
cary now. wording to the notice he had given, moved
that the £712 13e. 11d, due to the bridge fund be in-
vested at interest. Ile saw no fun in allowing all this
money to lie idle Just to be played with. Let each
separate fund rest on it. own foundation.
The TOWN Cxgaz opposed this measure, as be said
there were some outstanding settlements with the John-
stone estate ever since the Townhall had been built, and
then there were the Attorney General's fees and the
Chancery suit, which was brought to compel them to
&Lelia') tbe bridge does. These things would have to be
pelt and then the money would be wanted. According
to the Act, however, they were required to invest E2OO.
Mr. Tuomas thought that if they were bound to
inve-t EtX.3, they might as well invest the whole till
it was required. It was therefore resolved on the motion
of Mr. PuTHECaIIT, seconded by Mr. THONI•N that
the amount due to the bridge fund be placed in
Eliot's bank, to bear interest until required.
