roLUNTEERS.

A meeeng of the subscribers to the fund for the
defence of Hull and neighbourhood, was held
at the Mansion•house, on Friday. LieutenaLt-
Colonel Wray, commanding the Hull and county
and Saolcoates Volunteers, in a neat appropriate
speech, enforced the necessity of promoting the
volunteer service, by arguments drawn horn the
present state of the Continent, Sec. After point-
ing out the great advantage arising to volun-
teer corps, in point of discipline, from being placed
upon permanent duty, he submitted to the 'abaci i-
bees the propriety of defraying the expenses (over
and above those alloyrad by Government) which
would be incurred by marching the corps lie com-
manded to some place, upon permanent duty. He
proved that this would be attended with less expense
to the fund, than drilling them at home, fur the
tame time, would be ; while in other respeas its
superior advantages would be incalculable. It
was accordingly determined to adopt this plum
and also to furnish the corps with new cloth.
ing. The corps is immediately to be com-
pleted to the full establishment of twelve battalion
and one rifle companies. They are to go upon per-
manent duty as soon as the new clothing shall be
ready ; which is expeeled to be in two or three
weeks. The very severe ballot for the Militia about
to take place, and from which they who enter im-
mediately into the Volunteers will be exempted,
will doubling cause every vacancy in the corps to
be speedily filled.

This was a good race; Pineal...en, having btlted
yesterday, carne up fresh to contend with two brews
that had been beaten; of course there was not taa4
betting, as it was not considered a fair match, s
many objcded to Pevialeca stinting, as he had eat
run. Morey Due give in the second round, beg
Lur, ran very close all the way, and had she been
fresh there is no doubt she would have won. rfr,
