LONDON daYITLSII.

A meeting of the London Scotch Volunteer Rifie
Corps was lately held in the Scottish Corpo-
ration•hall, Crane-court, Lord Bleb°, M.P., in the
chair. The Chairman, in opening the proceedings, said
the first question to decide was that of the particular
form of dress to be adopted. He believed that several
were in favour of the kilt, but the kilt would be found
a very inconvenient dress in skirmishing through woods,
briars, and hedges. In order to meet the views of all
parties be would suggest that if 60 gentlemen could be
found in favour of the kilt they should form themselves
into • kilt company. The question of the formation of
• kilt company was put to the meeting and decided in
the affirmative. The Chairman said the neat question
to decide was the locality of the practice ground. Since
the last meeting the London Ride Brigade had been in
communication with the director, of the Crystal Palace
Company, who had offered to place • portion of their
grounds near the archery butts at the disposal of the
different London Corps for purposes of practice. On •
show of bands being taken, it was unanimously agreed
to accept the offer of the Crystal Palace Company so far
as the Scottish corps was concerned. On the motion of
Mr. Mliissock, Lord Fiche was appointed commander of
the corps. The Chairman thanked the meeting for the
honour they had conferred upon him. Mr. G. Macken-
zie was then appointed captain of the Highland Com-
pany, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of
thanks to the Chairman.

MAIDEN NEWTON,

A concert was given on Friday evening last, in the
school room of this town, by Madame Corolla, assisted
by Miss Fanny Stephens, of the Liverpool and Man.
cheater Popular Concerts. The programme consisted
of a selection of vocal and pianoforte niusic. The
room WWI well filled by a most respectable audience,
who manifested the satisfaction they derived from
the performance by repeated plaudits. Miss Stephens .
seemed quite a favourite, every essay of this talented
vocalist being rewarded with an unanimous encore.
Madame Corelli's forte was evidently the piaso, and
we have no doubt that her performances on that in-
strument would have been well worth hearing, had
her talent been in the least aided by an instrument
of ordinary excellence. As it happened, however, this
portion of the performance can by no mean be con-
sidered a success, owing to the execrable instrument
provided. We are not sure, but we strongly sus-
pect, that we have heard it at Maiden Newton before,
and if it lie the veritable antique which so annoyed
our friend "Horizontal Grand" some few years since,
we would recommend its introduction to our neigh-
bours, Messrs. Baker and Eimer, who doubtless
would be able to find a purchaser, as it would be im-
possible to put a reserve upon such a lot—we had al-
most said, of rubbish.

TOLLER DOWN FAIR, Wednesday, exhibited some
splendid horn lambs, the best of which sold at prices
from 325. to Xis. per head. The Down Lambs were
also very prime, and first-rate prices were obtained
for the best lots. Other classes fetched about the
same rates as at Crewkerne. The bullock fair was
perhaps rather smaller than usual, and hardly up in
quality—Some good horses were exhibited and
fetched the value. The supply of pigs was large, and
there was a good demand at the present full prices—
especially for large slips.

following gentlemen were then appointed :—Mr. John
Hargreaves, jun., captain; Mr. Robert Green, lieu-
tenant, and Mr. Walter Watson, ensign. 11. r. J. Junes

TRADE SOCIETIES AND STRIKES.

At the Marlborough-street police court on Friday
last, Walter Newman, • bricklayer out on the strike,
was sumnioned before Mr. Bingham for assaulting, in-
timidating, and annoying one Thomas Bees, a non-
society man, residing in Hermitage-street, Pacidinn.
The case excited considerable interest, the court being
crowded with workmen, Bonet), and non-society men,
the charge having been proved.
Mr. Bingham addressed the defendant as follows, and
it is hoped that the worthy magistrate's admonition will
not fail to have weight with the elms of persons to
whom it was :—" It is to rne • matter of very
deep regret to see • man with health, strength and in-
tellect suacient to secure for himself constant and
lucrative employment, so wilfully ignorant of his own
interests and of the rights of other* u to imagine that
the rate of wages can be regulated by brutal and
tyrannical force. It is for the interests of all that each
should enjoy the privilege to dispose u he pleases of
his own property and his own powers; of the various
tyrannies by which man can be aMiated none can prove
so destructive as that which seeks to bring to the same
level of sirs the strong and the weak, the active and
the indolent, the skilful and the unskilful. But the
attempt to establish such tyranny mutt ever fail, for in
the long run the price of labour, as of every other com-
modity, must depend on the relative numbers of those
who seek it and those who have it to dispose of. If
employers are numerous and rich, when labourers are
few, wages must rise from the competion among em-
ployers. If labourers are many, and employers but few
and poor, wages must fall from the competition among
labourers. To societies for regulating the affairs of a
trade no objection can be offered, so long as they re-
frain from interfering with the rights of their own
members and others to make their own bargains; but
when by insult, intimidation, or violence they seek to
control the free action of those who entertain
different views, they must be taught that,
under equitable and equal laws, such a tyranny will
always be firmly repressed. I make much allow-
ance for the ignorance and delusions that pre-
vail on this subject, delusions by no means
confined to the- class of worknom ; and if
artisans like the defendant would be at the pains to
acquire information on the topic that most concerns
them, or at all events would think for themselves, in-
stead of following in the train of some half-instructed
or interested leader, I make no doubt they would
quickly perceive the folly as well as the illegality of
peeking to interfere with the free action of their fel-
lows. In the meantime it is flummery that that freedom
should be protected by the powerful head of
the law, and in order to deter others from such
conduct as you have been guilty of towards the
complainant, I impose on you • fine of Eh, and require
you further to enter into your OWD recognisance tab. of
good behaviour towards him and others for su months."

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

THURSDAY HUT. 15.—T0-day's market was well sup.
plied with beasts as to number; but the general quality.
was inferior. Prime breeds were in moderate request,
at Monday's currency ; but inferior beasts were very
dull, and almost nominal in price. Piiine sheep' were
scarce, and in fair request, on former terms. Otherwise,
the mutton trade was heavy, at barely late rates. We
have to report a dull inquiry for calves—the supply of
which was moderate—at about Monday's decline in value.
Pis realised previous rates, but mulch cows were very
dull.

The officers and sergeants belonging to the Tynernotith
Volunteer Artillery Co-ps have been attached, by an
order from the Secretary of War, to the Northuniber•
land Artillery Militia in order to graduate in the duties
of their profession. The Ride and Artillery Volunteers
meet several evenings in each week on the grounds of

AUSTRIA.

The great measure in favour of tolerance to Protes-

equality with their Catholic fellow-subjects.

adds that these rumours arose probably from many of
the soldiers having returned home on leave.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 9th state that immediately
on the receipt of the news of the death of the Emperor
of Morocco • Cabinet Council wail held, and that after
it orders of the highest iutportanoe were sent to the
commanders of the troops collected at Algesiras ; but
what those orders were is not mentioned. The same I
journals state that General the Marquis del Duero (de '
la Concha), who was at Malaga, had been summoned to !
Madrid in connexion, as was supposed, with the pro-
jected expedition to Africa. A telegraphic despatch, ,
winch had reached the Ministry of the Interior from !
Alga-4m, states that intelligence had arrived in that
place from Tangier to the effect that, in ounsetues.ce of
the agitation caueeil by the death of the Emperor of
Morocco, the consuls at Tangier had barricaded them- !
selves iu their houses, and armed their dependents ;
also, that all the Christians residing in the town and in
other parts of the empire were emigrating in all baste.
One of the journals even says that the Spanish steamer
Piles had received on board the families of the Consuls.
A Royal decree enacts that on "account of the eventu-
alities which may arise in the relations between Spain
and Morocco," the operations of the conscription for
DORI shall be proceeded with in October next.
The lint division of the Spanish expedition against
Morocco, assembling at Algesiras, has arrived at Ceuta,
and the attack on the Moors ball begun. The Spanish
Government seetns to anticipate that it will have to
conduct the operations on a rather grand scale. In
the event of such a grand exhibition taking place, the
Infante Dun Sebastian, who recently recognised the
Queen, will be, aceording to the Eqacea, " charged ti,
besiege Mogador at the head of a corps d'armke, while
another corps will attack Ceuta." There are report.;
from Algiers that the Moroccans have attacked some
French frontier posts, but have been driven back. It
would be strange if Morocco MU bent upon snaking two
enemies at the mine time.
Letters received from Madrid to the sth inst. state
that the English Ambassador had addressed inquiries to
the Governuinent of Spain concerning the concentration
of Spanish troops in Algesiras. The reply of Spain is
said to be have drawn up with great courtesy, but did
not fully explain the reason, of the concentration of
troops at this point.
The chiefs of the Republican conspiracy discovered
at Seville have been executed, and a great number of
persens compromised 111 the affair set at liberty.

PENZANCE.

It was stated in The Times a short time ago that a rifle
corps had been funned here, and that volunteers had
come forward in • very spirited manner. The Lord-
Lieutenant, Lord Vivian, who has taken a moat active
in the promotion of these corps, has received. a letter
Irons Mr. Sydney Herbert, the Secretary-for-War in
which he says :—I hear with great satisfaction the excel-
lent spirit which has been manifested by the inhabitants
of Penzance. A voluntary corps, comiosnl as that ap-
pears to be, and including all the leading and most influ-
ential people, has every pig!' of pennanence about it.
They have set an excellent example, and one which I hope
will be extensively followed. General Hay reports from
Hythe that the volunteer officers who have come there
for instruction have beat any officers he has ever had
there under instructions—so great has been their seal
as well as intelligence. Altogether the volunteer move-
ment is doing right well, and falsifying the sinister pro-
phecies of its opponents, for there are no indinations of
slackness among those who take it up, but an evident de-
termination to acquire a thorough knowledge of their
duties. The Government, I can assure you, fully Appre-
ciate the value of this public spirit, which has nowhere
shown itself more effectually than among your Cornish
neighbours, and I am very much obliged to you for your
exertions in the matte:.

SWANAGE.

THI INIPROVEM-ENT-10- SWANAGE HARBOUR.—
During the festivities which took place lately in cele-
bration of the commencement of the pier and tram.
way, Mr. Philip Brannon, a gentleman who has
devoted much of his time to the task of showing the
capabilities and requirements of this portion of the
coast of Dorset, submitted to several gentlemen
interested in the advancement of this port, a sketch
of Swanage as it might be, and there was certainly a
generally expressed desire to see a portion at least
of Mr. Brannon's scheme carried into execution,
provided the ways and means could be obtained.
We allude to the formation of a breakwater to enclose
a portion of the harbour and surround the pier which
is now being erected, so as to afford shelter to vowels
under stress of wind in this part of the Channel. At
present there is no refuge, without causing con-
iderable delay in seeking its shelter, between the
Downs and Portland, so that the formation of a safe
harbour at this point would be a great boon to mari-
ners. With this view Mr. Brannon proposes that a
breakwater should be run out from Pevcrel Point for
, a distance of about half a mile, in a direction north
by west, and including a considerable extent of five
fathoms depth, so as to give good anchorage for
wind-bound vessels. It is believed that this could
be effected at a comparatively small outlay, as the
materials are close at hand; thousands of tons of
rubble are now lying useless by the quarries upon the

him to be straightforward enough—(cheers)—he

TURKEY.

Long conferences have taken place between the

report says—" The English Aniboosilor has represented
to the Porto that if the latter will yield to the wi•dies of

EXTRAORDINARY IMPOSITION/I.—A young man was
recently introduced to • lady in Dublin, by a clergyman,
as a man of high rank and position, and the heir to ex-
tenure estates; in fact, no less a personage than Count
blaganley. Titles possess great attractions; and the
count was boon on intimate terms at the lady's house.
The lady had a daughter, young, handsome. and acconi-
plished, who soon became the object of marked attention
on the part of the count. Her heart was won. The
mother was delighted at the thought of seeing her daugh-
ter a countess marriage was arranged, the noble bride-
groom granting a settlement suitable to his wealth and
dignity. A house in one of the bent quarters of the city
wan engaged, presents of jewellery were made to the
bride, the happy day arrived, and the young lady be-
CNIIIC—ax she believed—Countess Magauley. Scarcely,
however, had the honeymoon well commenced when she
found that she was the wife ‘.f a penniless impostor. She
was immneuhiatcly separated from him, and lie left Dub-
lin. After figuring in London, he arrived in Cork •
few months ago. From this place lie wrote to the young
lady, stating that lie WU in a lucrative situation, and
asking her to forgive the past, and become the partner
of his life and fortune. Th,, mother, on being shown the
letter, went to Cork to make inquiries MI to the truth
of the story, and called Constable Crowley, as a likely
person to procure her information. Now Constable
Crowley had for sonic time been "keeping an eye" on •
mysterious vender of tickets for a raffle—a gold watch
the prize, the stake a shilling— and lie at once suspected
that lie and the Count Ilsgauley were one and the same
person. So it proved. Informationa having been sworn
against him by some persons who had been duped into
buying the raffle-tickets, lie was apprehended, and was
identified as Count Magauley, the Dublin cheat.

The immediate provocation which led to the proro-
gation of the lonian Assembly is row known. They
passed a resolution declaring that the QUCCII.I tepee.
sentative is not entitled to take a part in the proceed-
ings of the Aseembly. Whereupon Sir Henry Storks
roundly told them that the resolution was illegal, uncon-
stitutional, insulting, void, and no effect. Anil so
there was an end to them. Ilis message is as follows :
" The Legislative Avuwinbly having, by its vote of the
14th of March, offered an insult to his Excellency the
Lord High Commissioner, the representative of the
Protecting Sovereign of these States, and having, tonal
irregularly and unconstitutionally, referred, in the pro.
poa4 on which the Assembly divider'', to the President
of the State, an officer unknown to and not recognized
by the Constitutional Charter, his Excellency declares to
the Legislative Assembly that the vote to which it has
come involves • principle opposed to the spirit and
letter of the Constitutional Charter of these States, con-
trary to the practice which has obtained for upwards of
forty years, and entirely at valiance with the regula-
tions of the Assembly itself, which have received the
sanction of the Lord High Commissioner, and which
cannot be changed or amended without his approval.
His Excellency can only characterise the vote of the
Legislative Assembly as illegal, uncorstitutional, and
Insulting, and as one which can never have any legal
effect."
