MISS BATEMAN AT THE TEIEATRE.—Whoever
can claim the happy distinction of being the oldest
playgoer in Birmingham must, we think, admit that within
his very lengthy experience he has never known such a
general and daily increasing "run, upon the Theatre
Royal as has been evidenced dning the brief engagement
of Miss Bateman. Night after night the theatre has been
filled to oveifirwing ; and, although it may appear some
what " Andersonian," it is nevertheless true, that hundreds
have been nightly turned from the doors. Mr Simpson has
already converted a portion of the upper boxes into re
served seats, and he is now compelled to reserve the whole
of the upper boxes, and to make still further alterations
during the remainder of Miss Bateman's engagement. To-
night (Thursday) and Friday the ordinary frequenters of
the upper boxes will be accommodated in the pit, the
entrance to which, at the admission price of two shillings,
will be from the door of the' Gallery of Illustration, in
New-street. A largo portionof the gallery will be retained
for the accommodation of the pit audience, and the number
of admissions will be limited.—Birmingh,con Daily Tost.
MUSKETRY CLASSEs.—Classes for the musketry
instruction of Volunteers, under the provisions of
Articles 234, 235, and 236 of the Volunteer Regulations,
will be formed at the Schools of Musketry at llythe and
Fleetwood respectively on the 12th of November next.
Officers commanding Volunteer corps in Scotland, or in
Northumberland, Cumberland, Westmoreland, Durham,
Yorkshire, Lancashire, and the Isle of Man, who wish to
send one or more members to the class at Fleetwood, are
requested to transmit their applications to the War-office
on or before the sth proximo. Officers cemneanding Volun-
teer corps in the remaining portion of Great Britain may
apply for permission to send one or more members of their
corps to the class at Hythe on or before the sth proximo.
The commanding officer's application should in each case
be Recomputed by a certificate in the form given in appen-
dix G G of the Volunteer Regulations, in regard to the
Volunteer's proficiency in the manual and platoon exercises,
and his willia
gness to impart instruction to the members of
his corps on his return.—M. m

THE SHOOTING OF MR. WILSON.—MILFORD,
TUE-DAY.—I am happy to be able to state that the
medical men consider Mr. Wilson to he going on favourably,
but to be as yet by no means out of danger. I have heard
that some of the magistrates of the neighbourhood are
about to hold an investigation into the circumstances on
their own account, independently of the constabulary and
officials. Tho Earl of Leitrim now at his lodge at Bally •
