should be no distinction between those who could pal
and those who could not pay. (Applause.) The nada°
would be .brought to the lowest possible point that
would be consistent with a soldierlike appearance; aua
as to the colour, although some, gentlemen thought they
looked better in dark, and others in lighter colours, 3
very old Gaelic proverb was brought to their notice:
and was very likely to decide the colour. He would
give it to them as nearly as possible :

A black dog is bright
On a meadow that white,
A white deg is seen
On a meadow that's green ;
But were I to stalk the deer on the hill,
I'd choose the dog that was reibrach still.

Reibrach meant lark colour, or brindled, a colour diet
was of all others the least distinguishable, and, there"
fore, best suited for the uniform of the rifle carps. ll'
did not think it necessary to trouble them any longer,
but would be happy to give any information that Ay
desired. (Applause.)
Mr. MEWBURN, of sale, said that before the motio#
was put he should like to say a few words, and having
expressed a wish that a corps to be formed in lisle
would be allowed to join the Garston corps, he in a Teri
able manner and with a good deal of eloquence advocill?.
the extension of the movement, and pointed out 'Fa'
way in which some difficulties might be overcome.
The resolution was then put and carried unanimous)
i%
and on the motion of Mr. H. A. Rathbone, seconded
Mr. Sutton, it was determined to open a subscriptie°
list.

The Rev. Mr. HECKER said that, although he If°
not a fighting man he might perhaps be allowed to be $
member, and he would therefore offer himself as the
first volunteer—an offer which, of course, was at once
accepted, amidst much applause.
The proceedings then terminated, a vote of thatiki
to the chairman, moved by Mr. J. G. Morris, Ow
seconded by Mr.Hubback, having been carried by acels'
matiou.

SPECIAL VESTRY MEETING IN

TOXTETH-PARK.

On Saturday, upon the requisition of a number e
ratepayers, a special vestry meeting of the inhabits?
of the extra-parochial place of Toxteth-park was held st
the Public-offices, 24, Park-place, for the purpose of
taking the necessary steps to obtain a clause in the- his
about to be brought before Parliament by the Londe
and North-Western Railway Company, directing.tli'"
the company shall provide a passenger station wive'
the said extra-parochial place.
Mr. Hilton Halhead was called to the chair, steal
amongst those present were Messrs. M. Gregson, 1"
Robertson, J. Wilson, overseer, Joseph Harrison Thee'
Rogers, G. D. Carter, Samuel Siddeley, Willi'
Baynes, Alexander Miller, overseer, Richard Jan!

N. Croft, L. Williams, and S. Cordon (with the puts'
of the projected line.)
The notice• convening the _meeting having, been resai
The CHAIILMA.N said he thought they world all feet
obliged to the overseers and other gentlemen who lise"
convened the meeting, for the question they had met t°'
consider was one of very great importance to‘Textets'
park. The only difficulty that he saw in the matter
was this, that the line chosen by the promoters of this(
bill did not happen to touch on any central part
Toxteth-park ; but they all knew this, that if thernew
get even something like what they required, it did rit._°,
prevent them from taking action in the future to brat
a passenger station nearer to the wants of the. peeP,,r/
than the proposed goods. terminus which was south '-'s
Park-street. They all felt that south of Park-strec„
would be an inconvenient site for a passenger stank
for the great bulk of the population of ToxtetlY-ps!".
but, at the same time, all the parliamentary not re

could not be altered. They must take the scheme des le

thought by these gentlemen desirable. A prelina9t
meeting was held on the preceding day, and it was thottor
desirable to hare before the meeting that day, a planbis
the intended railway, and it was now on the t-L•
for inspection. It would be seen that the preP',
line went to Efigehill, and. after that joined the tt.
senger station in Lime-street. There was a.branch
coming front -Ronny-lane; with deep cuttings in. Pi;
places and tupnels in others, passing through DitKi
lane, High -Park-street, and coming. close mum' eta
