Thendey evening, and, after making a personal all on a

ing ilk the Town-ball at York. The chair was taken by Mr.
Ahlernma Coos; who introduced the hon. and Menisci gen-

Mr. Rooongf. Par = said he came before them, as
they knew, because it had pleased their gracious ff6Vereign
to confer on him the appointment of Solicitor-General.
That act was not by word or deed personally, directly or in.
directly, through any frisod—not even in the most remote
moaner sought either by his friends or himself. He was
out el parliament, and bad been out of parliament for the
pelt four years. The cause of this we's difference between
the Prose Minister and himself. He was not able to agree
with Lord Palmerston on the question of theeltinese war; but

ROYAL NATIONAL LUZ:BOAT INIeTTTIITION.— A
meet* of this institution was held on Thursday at its
hews, John-strut, Adelnki, Thomas Baring, Eass., M.P.,
LILA, chairman of the wady, presiding. The following
rewards were voted for services, must of which have been
previendy mentioned in our columns :—A reward of 121.
won voted to the crew of the institution's lifeboat stationed
at Arklow ; ill. 17s. to pay the expenses of the society's
lifeboats stationed at Canmirthen Buy and North Dundrum
Bay for gounroff with the intention of socoouring vends
in distress. The silver medal of the institution wee voted
to Henry Pulley, EN., of Dunboy Castle, for swimming off
sad afterwards saving at otesiderable risk of life, by means
of a small boat, four perms who had been impaired frau
their beet during blowing weather off BeralAlN, on the
oust of Cork, ou the 7th alt. W. to two fishermen for sav-
ing three persons near Carrickfergus. It wee reported
at the meeting that t
an iota had during the pselseeeth
sot a new lifeboat and transporting carriage to Oneepliel-
town, on the west coast of Scotland, and that Lady Yestrey,
widow of the late Lord Chief Justice Hurrah had distuyed
the whole cost of the ertablishment, nearly lOW., in wawa
el hie lordship. The inztitiation had also lifeboats sad User
poetise carriages nearly ready to be seat to St. Ives, Own-
wall, Aberystwith, and Llandderys, in Wales, Scarborough.
and Tynemouth. A new lifeboat was ordered to be built
for Kirkcudbright, the expenses of which, together with a
transporting carriage, had been presented by a benevolent
gentleman resident in Manchester. Lord Selkirk had lib,-
rally promised to build a house for them.
Tax LATh MACH or THZ FUSILINAIL—From a
private source, which is perfectly reliable, we (Wen Surrey
Tiases)have obtained some particulars which we deem it right
to lay before our readers. With reference to the hreakfaating
at Kiwiton, we have been informed that the men were
billeted "in and about the town"—sonie of thew as far as
two miles and a half off ; that in many instances they had
no BMW of knowing the time, and that in order to be on
puede at half-past five they had to be up at four o clock.
We are further informed that they had money, wherewith
they should have purchased broadest the night previous ;
bat it is suggested, with perfect truth, that if a man bee
been drinking the night before he menet out et that early
hoar. This, however, would hardly appear to apply to the
deemed, who wu a "sober" man. Again, we are informed
I Mid the rasa "knew" that they might take their stooks
off, aid that Unmake portion availed themselves of the
knowledge ; that the knapsacks were perfectly lams
enough to carry the extra pair of trowsern, and did so, ex-
' cept in the OM of Norton and one or two others ; that only
two bsUsge moons were allowed to the battalion to nun
everything ; sad that, even if it had been thought ad-
enable, the bearskins could not have been sent by them.
With rapid to halting until the evening cm the real, we
understood that hot renew had been prepared for the men
lat Guildford, and that they themselves much preferred
getting en to a good meal to halting all day without pol-
-1 visions. We believe, also, that the battalion had been
under orders to go by rail, and had only been counter-
manded the night before. The preparations for the march,
therefore, were necessarily rather horrid, and all the
heavy baggage had been suit by the railway the day pre-
vious.

Saturday wan the third day of the Wimbledon
prize rifle contest of the National Rifle Asaociatioo, pnd
although the weather was not quite so unpropitious u on
the two days preceding, still there was but little abate-
ment of the strong southerly wind which has prumiled,
and which his had so great an effect upon the sh
Amonet the visitors were the Duke D'Aumale7tret inks
sod Duchies Montpellier, and other members of the French
royal family ; the Duke of Sutherland, Lord and ledy
Stamford, Lord and lady Bury, Lord and Lady Elcho
lard Evers*, Earl Doc* Lord and Lady Spencer, Lord
Vallebert. the Miami et Aberonn, Major- t. Bay,
Sir Joseph Paxton, M.P. , Mr. Ricardo, M.P. ; Colonel
Keenedy,
_Colossi Miley, Colonel Gladstone, Maier Nelson,
Bad Timberline:, Lord Trefoils, Major-Geneed Weet, fie.
The fain& (moldering the high wind which prevailed
throughout the day, was considered on the average good,
but some of the crack thole have gone terribly into the
shade ; gm, Mr. Dickens:, of the Victoria Rifles, who
made theapleadid number of 13 points out of 5 shota, at
the 200 lunge on the first day, only made one point
ea Thursday at the 509 yards' range, and but 3 points at 600
yards' range as Saturday, nuking in the aggregate but 17
points. The mine remark may be made with regard to
piing Mr. Ross, who has only made 16 points in the awe-
plead will, therefore be out of the shooting for the
's prW, Si nothing less than 17 points will bring is the
arty who will be the competitors for it. Indeed, at five
o'clock it was believed that nothing less than 18 would be
in a position for the Queen's prise, as at that time it was
reported that there were twenty-four competitors who had
made 18 points each. The highest score was 23, which had
been mace by 'Sergeant Duggan, of the 26th lencaahire,
who will at all events be the holder of the silver medal.
At six o'clock it was announced that the competiton who
hod awed 17 points, of which Lord Bun was one, would
be out of the competition
.for the Queen'i prize, and that
in consequence of there being five of the eighteens over the
given number, the whole of the eighteens would have to
compete again with ow shot each for the Whitworth rides.
It bas been already stated that the number of entries
for the Queen's pries were 720, and for the Prince of
Wales's prize 312. In the extra prizes there were
a1e0290 entries. Out of 3,000 competitors at the pool tar-
gets them were only very few imlbeyes made. For the
extra pine the highest competitors during the day were
Leese (Meriehester Rifles), 9 points, with one more shot to
fire, as be was the last at the target when the signal gun
aimeasoed that the firing was to came. The others next
best were—Claptain Eaton (3rd Manchester), 8 ; Ingram (Ist
Liseask). 7 ; Wylbie (Royal Artillery), 7 ,• W. Grath (Ist
Berke), 7 ; nod Colour-Sergeant Ball, 7. The list of scores
for the Prince of Wales's prise led not been made up.
the afternoon several splendid specimens of prize
eafirWeilver plate ware exhibted in a tent set apart for
the purpose, intended for the various prizes, at the option
of the winners, which attracted the attention of a vast num-
ber et persona.
The following are the sum of the competitors who will
be entitled after the ties are shot off to finally contend for
the Queen's prise on Wednesday next. In consequence of
the tee at 18 points, those must be shot off for the Whit-
worth rifle to decide the first twenty who shall be entitled
to them, and the number who have made 17 points, making
more with the others than the forty entitled to shoot on
Wednesday. Their ties (the 17) must also be shot off, and
all them ties commence this day :
