THR FownicosiNG VOLIINITHR RWFICW.—The
Hants Tdegraph reports, with reference to the Banter
Monday volunteer review at Portsmouth, that there is a
prospect of the necessity accommodation and eater
arrangements as to deteila being ell *et cooTtomilil7 be
desired to render the review successful. s sinews
already subscribed in the borough is close upon 7011. and
there is reasonable ground for believing that this will be
more than doubled in the course of a few days. Many
definite arrangements have already been made as to the
movements of some of the metropeliten °cepa Informa-
tion, for Matinee, bas reached Portsmouth that she lac
Middlesex, under the command of Lieutenant-Colossi
Creed, will march from London with • battery of six guns
and 50 Minas. The some will leave headquarters on
Thursday, and will rest at Guildford mid Petenfield.
The Honourable Artillery Company will bring 40 horses,
sad will also bivouac at Pete field and Guildford. it is
estimated that the field artillery will require 450 hones
for the movement of the guns ; and it is also estimated
that the infantry present will cesoprios led battening
if this be so, at Mast 350 additioni bones will be required
foe the field officers. Thus it will be seen that about 800
horses will be required for the review. It has been deter-
mined to barricade a portion of Scattlima-conneen to face&
tate the march past of the various corps, and to avoid the
pressure which would be otherwise experienced from the
crowd. There is reason to believe that a
.grand pyro-
technic display will take phase in the *mem& and in
order to render this as effective as possible the authori-
ties will be solicited to confer upon the town the grant
usually accorded upon such occenass—ii supply of fire-
works from Wool etch Arsenal. Another object at
UM committee will be to obtain the servings
of the Naval Brigade to take part in the re-
view by occupying poultices on Portchaater Lake and
attacking to the right of the enemy on Portodown Hill,
the effect of which, if carried out, will be one of the most
interesting in the programme of the day. The Honourable
Artillery Company will be entertained to breakfast on the
morning of the review by Mr. Alderman Emanuel. In ad-
dition to the church parade, which is fixed to enable
volunteers to attend divine service at St. John's on Easter
Sunday, arrangements have also been made for the
Honourable Artillery Compaay to attend at kit. Thomas's
Church, Portsmouth the same day, accompanied by the
mayor and corporation. There will be • general effort
made on the part of the inhabitant' to decorate the town
—especially those portions through which the voles-
teen will page—and already special subscriptions are being
collected in different localities for this
/hive DAMAGES AUAINST • ICTITZIAN.—An
extraordinary claim for dAmeges, sent down for mess-
meet upon a writ of inquiry from the Court of Exchequer,
was settled at Shrewsbury yesterday, before the deputy
under sheriff and a special jury. The plaintiff is •
bricklayer named Edward Steadman, and the defendant is
Mr. Thomas Wells, of Eaton Nareott-ball, Shropshire,
sad "The Larehm,” Wolverhampton. one of the meet
extensive inmates's." in the midland disiriet. Kr.
Ornate, of the Oxford circuit, instructed by Mr. Charles
Chandler, of Shrewsbury, appeared Meek. *boil ; and
Mr. Warren for the defendant. On the 73rd of August,
in last year, the plaintiff, who is • tenant of tie de-
fendant, was returning home from work, sad, in none
along the highway, saw the defeadaatli parelcseper shoot
• rabbit which was mania( across the road. The
plaintiff observed to the gamekeeper that be wee making
the dust fly in the mad, and expressed a hope that be
would not sheet him. The poiskesper replied
that he would take can of that, and the
plaintiff proceeded on his way. He had not
gene may yards, howl, eft, when • shot, fired from
the pa of the defendant struck him in the face. The
plaintiff went home, and after painiag • night of great
agony obtained admittance oo the following day to the
Eye and Ear Hospital, Shrewsbury, where it was found
necessary to remove one eye from the socket, whilst the
eight of the other was pronoonced to be permanently im-
paired. After the plaintiff hail been in the Invited for c
fortnight, Mra Wells called to inquire after his health, and
en leaving his bedside platted half-a-crown in his had.
On • subsequent mesa= the defendant was driving along
the road in his carriage when he overtook the plaintiff,
and pulled up to ask bow his eye was getting on. Stead-
man replied that be was almost blind, and the defendant
gave him half-a-crown, and drove on. These two done-
'dons with the ocesinonal gift of • rabbit, represented,
according to the plaintiff's statement, all the meistanos he
bad received from the defendant since the date of the
accident. After • long eonsultatiou, a vendlot for the
plaintiff was taken by consent—damages, 3601.
GREAT CATCHES Ot MACKERRL IN MOUNT'S BAY.
—Tuesday morning's mein same in pretty early, and
being packed with great speed were all sent to the railway
station before 3 p.m. A special train was sent as to pe-
es& the mail, and the remainder of the Sal went on by
the mail, the whole being about 75 tons. At • low esti-
mate Treaty morning's fish amounted to 200,000, and
wine worth to the fishermen 2,1001. The weather on
Monday night and Teasley morning was very rough, and
the woad strong. Many boats accordingly did not start
for the fishing-ground on account of the weather, and of
those who did start a good many were bastes beck by
the high wind. Thus, between 50 and 60 boats of New-
lye and Mousehole did not fish on Tuesday night. The
wind changed, sad en Wedemday loaning the beets
had to come in 'plait it; this made theta rather later
than on the previous morals/. Many fresh fish buyers
bad arrived, and the first lots went rather briskly it
20s. per six score. As the boats eame padually in, and
the numbers sold grew larger, it began to be rumoured
that there was • splendid catch, and so It turned out.
Notwithstanding that ea large a slumber of boats did not
fish, the total quantity was musk pester than on no
previous day. The premier honors of the day and A tits
seen so far were ousted eff by • beat which had 12,000 his or 100 hundreds of six aeon. Sixty of these hula- , '
deeds sold for 19.. per hundred, sad the other forty for
U., making 271. tor this heat's night's work. Many other
boats bad frem two to Az thousand fish aping, tang% a
few boats had only 200 or 300. The boats which armed
later received smaller prices, as there was leas chance of
getting their fish off by mail train. At last the prime
varied from 15s. to 18s. per 100. The beach at Newlyn was
bevy with huadrsds of buyers, pokers, and carters. A
lays quaatity was got into the Penzaaoe rellway.station
before 2 o'clock, and soon after that hour • precis& train,
with 53 tone of fish, was despatched, preceding the mail.
Many tons were brought afterwards, sad despatehed after
the mall train to arrive in London about 5 or 6 ma. this
morning. The total quantity would be near 100 teas.—
