BRADFORD.—The mayor and a number of other
influential citizens of Bradford have issued an address to the
ialmAtants, inviting such as are so disposed to join a volun-
teered's corps which is about to be formed for the neighbour-
hood. A considerable number of volunteers have already
joined the corps, and the remainder, it is expected, will
speedily enrol themselves.
BOUTII ESSEX.—A movement is being made in
Beath Essex for the formation of • rifle corps, and a number
of patlemen have associated their mines together for the
and invite the eo-opetion of other.. When • auf-
= ra
umber is obtained a meeting will be held to decide
upon the arrangements.
OLASOOW.—From the rapidity with which signs-
tune us being adhitited to the lists of volunteers, the move-
meet for the formation of a volunteer rifle oorps in Glasgow
seems to Le going on with great vigour, despite the circular
lately Issued by the War-o, which is calculated to restrict
rather than to aid the formation of such • corps by excluding
from their nuke the greet majority of the youth of the city
whose services would be of the most nee insomuch as it fs
only young men weaessed of means and leisure who are able
to enrol themeelvm. The proviso of that circular, by bind-
ing all volunteers to provide their own arma and accoutre-
meats, and to turn out for 24 days' drill every wet before
they can be nicked as alfectlys, completely precludes young
men engaged in Waimea from offering their SIMON. Not-
withstanding this drawback, the friends of the movement
will be glad to know that ot noiderably over 300 names have
been entered in the bat at the itschenge, and nearly 1019 In
that at the Atheneum, to which if there be added the signa-
tures to the private lista in the possession at gentlemen
taking an interest in the matter, will make the total number
of signatures approach very near to 600.—Olasgoto Morning
