At tire annual meeting of the Thant • Agricul-
tural Association on Thursday, the tenet of the " Army,
Navy, and Volunteers," was roaponded to by
Colonel Faint on the part of the latter. Ile believed
the volunteer force to be a very fine one, but there was
one thing with regard to the volunteers which, with
regret, he felt bound to ray. Lord Paulett, who was
present with the Duke of Cambridge at the volunteer
review at Windsor, told him that if a little more daeipline
were kept up it would be bettor, and the force would then
be most effective. Ile IMP not at all anxious to cry dawn
the volunteers, ho believed them to be a most valuable f.wce
which bad been got up under extraordiva-y circum-
stances; and they might be made a mod efficien force if
tl.ey were ever called upon in England to undertake the
defence of the (smithy. (Chews.) But at the ammo tire e
Bait force would be of no use unless strict discipline were
maintedeed. (Htar, hear.) Lord l'aulett bad to'd him at
the Horse (Inertia, in entivereation with ()mend Lind ny,
that at Windsor, when the Duke of Cambridge went by,
lie men were lying down flat upon their backs rnokin
shun pipea. Ho asked his lordship why he did not toll
11 an to get up until the Duke of Cambridge had rimed.
••kly tiod," said Lord I'aulett, "I dare nut; if I had,
they would have Istyunetted me, by G—." The traits
at 'that review were badly arranged. end everything elea
and to bare been badly managed. (Hear, heir.)
Among regular trent* the stricte-t did 40430 was
always What the army suffered during the
Abyssinian campaign nobody knew bait those who were
them, and if it bail not been for the discipline observed
they would never have got up_ to Ilaplala, and capture I
King Theodore. (Cheers.) Ho was sorry to feel obliged
to wake these remarks about the volunteers. He was a
militiaman himself, and ho knew that the volunteers were
as fend of their sernee as he was of the militia. They
knew very well how to do their duty ; ho haul witnetsed
their manceuvree, and had seen how they cent' march
prier. In such matters they probably excelled the militia,
baring a differentelan of men among them from themilitia;
but if they had no discipline they would be of no more
value in an emergency than a mob of people huddled to-
gether in the streets of Theme. (Hear. bear.)
Colonel Noant said he could not allow the remarks which
had fallen from Colonel Fane in regard to the Windsor
teview to ran by without a reply. Ire would, how-
ever, culy repeat what he had said an the House of Com-
mune when the volunteers were attacked. There wore
2.1.000 men upon the field, and there certainly was, he be-
lieved, at one point great irregulanty. But he declared
to God that he saw regiment after regiment of volunteer*
move eff that field in a manner that would hare done
credit to any regiment of the line. (Cheer...) But then
were no clout t some—and he would appeal to his frien I
En-ien Bacon to corroborate what he raid -whose cen-
di et was reprehensible. Of one battalion who were in
front of the men Le was with, there was bat one opinion

Laved. The oflimrs did nut look after the

SPORTING NOTES.

THE SCRATCHING OF THB EARL

1:(.1rs Ttir, after quoting Mr. Padwick's loiter
to the stewards of the Jockey Club, which has appeared
in the Erpress, requesting an investigation into the cif.-
cormtances connected with the striking of The Earl out
of the St. Leger hst, makers the following remarks :
" 'this application, we are glad to say, has been grout ,d,
and a court of inquiry' will beheld at Newmarket iu the
First October meeting, when the whole affair of the
mysterious nature of the betting about The Earl, as
well as the causes which led to his being scratchel,
will be gr ne into. In consequence of Admiral
hoes being the defendant in the action of Day v. RMS.
we undetttand Mr. Lowther has been deputed to act fur
biro, and tlencral Peel, it is al•o rumoured, is to be one of
Mr. Lowther'a colleagues. All wn trust is that the inpiiry
will be as fe,atching as possible, and the saddle placed on
the right horse, for if The h.irl ha% been tiled for no other
pax; Gee than an instrument of gaming the scronar the epo-
',tongue exposed. punished, and hell up to thu world the
bentr it will be for the interest.. of the Turf."

flocciocurdt's STOOL—The produce of this now valuable
stadion (sire of Formosa) have, up to and including the
St. Leger, won in stakes during the present year no loss a
sum than 21,000 soya in round numbers, the stallions
Stockwell and Newminster (hitherto at the top of tho list)
figuring at about 15,000 Nick—Ere.

TUE-CHARACTER Or TRH DONCASTER ME Tetra.—The
racing at Doncaster (say, the Nes) was far below the
usual standard, and it is difficult to account for the fad
of the fields for the minor events being so limited. That
for the St. Leger was up to the strength of last
,year,
but the competitors, as a class, were far interior, and had
Too Earl kept well he would have won in a canter.
A leading topic of conversation during the Doncaster
meeting (says the Rporting (lsutte) has been the proposed
match for I,OOW. a side between hermit and Blue (.wn,
to run at Newmarket in the Houghton week. Mr. Chaplin
offered to give 81b. on the Abingdon mile, 6th. on the
Ditch mile, and 41b on the Rowley mile, which terms
were declined by Sir Joseph Hawley, who would have
taken 61b. over the last named course. Mr. Chaplin and
Sir Joseph came to terms between Hermit and Palmer,
and Amster and Morns. The first-named pair are matched
for 600/. aside, A.F., on the Friday in the Houghton
Meeting, Hermit to receive 31b. Monts and Acastor are
matched at test each, T. T.C., in the Second October
Wieling for 200/. aside, h. ft. T
s. _ .

TRAME9 -It affords us
cereidelable pleasure (says Ifrll'. Life) to bo able, as wo
hail enticirattsl last week, to state that all the unpleasant
Hauge said and done in connexion with the last Chain-
leorehip struggle must now pass away before a far more
an) oitaut event—another greet match between the rival
srls nls of lowing since 120:1, I..nden suit Newm +tie.

Newcastle. A. previously expected, the nice is to be from

:11141171UL SUICIDE OF A SHIP CAPTAIN Ar

?OP! AR.

This morning information was recoived by Mr.
Coroner Humphreys of the suicide of Captain Jobe Jacob
Nyland, of the Alliance brig, now lying in the port of
London. The deceased was 48 years of age, and lived
while on shore at No. 1, Emmet-place, Poplar. Yester-
day he was found in Lis bedroom with his brains blown
ont. He had evidently placed the muzzle of a pistol in
his mouth and discharged the contonte into his head, kill-
ing himself instantly. Dr. Giles was called in and made
au examination which left no doubt that death resulted
from suicide. No causo whatever can at present be as-
signed for the dreadful act. An inquest will, of mine,
Le held.

A SENTINHL SnooT INO RD3 FiRRORANT AND
CORPORAL writ' ORR SHOT.--The Ind,,pendance Bettie re-
ports the following fatal occurrence :—At the Camp of
Beverloo the sentint lon duty on Saturday lout, seeing three
men approaching him, cried out " Qui rim" and received
no answer. Ho fired at a distance of seventy-five paces,
and with the one shot killed the sergeant and coporal, who
were going their rounds. The third soldier run and re-
ported what had occurred. In a few minutes it was found
that the Albini ride "did wonders."

THE LATE PUGIT.IBTIC FlAfteo.—Soveral gentle-
men (rays Bars Lif.) who are thoroughly convinced
that it was " solely and only" the authority of the " law"
that interfered fatally with what perhaps might have been
the model null of the year have already paid the mon
for their colours, an if they had won.
A REFoubien m DITLONACY.—A motion to
reform the diplomatic service by Mr. Labouchere is not
very unlike what would be an attempt by Dr. Manning
to iuboduce changes in the " Book of Common Prayer.
This gentleman, who, with many an eccentricity, is a man
of strong purpose and invincible determination, and with
ability which aU his oddities cannot mask, would seem to
have takou a Port of Hannibal oath against his lute craft.
I have beard he was not always regarded as a blessing by
the chief be served under; and it that chief chanced to be
a moot of email capacity, a pedant, or a pretender of any
kind, I can well believe that lie would have looked very
gravely at the despatch that informed him that Mr.
I abouchete was to be attached to his mission, and to be re-
garded as a meniberof his family. It was pretty much like
telling a timid household that they weretotake charge of a
twelvemonth-old tiger, and dome/Alcatel him with the cats
of the family, Gifted with an imperturbable temper, a
