THE GOVERNMENT AND RIFLE CLUBS.
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, FRIDAY.—Last evening a
meeting was held at the Farmers' Club-room of this
town, for the purpose of considering the propriety of
establishing a volunteer corps as a defence against inva-
sion, when the following letter from the Home-office was
read on the subject. It seems that at a previous meet-
ing a resolution was adopted approving of the club, pro-
vided her Majesty's Government sanctioned its forma-
tion. Dr. Glover was instructed to write to Sir George
Grey; the subjoined was the reply:—
" Whitehall, Jan. 26.
" Sir,—l am directed by Secretary Sir George Grey
to acknowledge the receipt of your. letter of the 23d
inst., in which you inquire whether the proposed forma-
tion of a volunteer rifle corps in the town and neigh-
bourhood of Newcastle meets with the approval of her
Majesty's Government.
" I am to acquaint you in reply, that her Majesty's
Government appreciate the patriotic motives of the gen-
tlemen on whose behalf you have addressed Sir George
Grey; but as the subject of sanctioning the formation of
such corps is at present under the consideration of the
Government, he must defer for a short time a definite
answer to your inquiry.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
" W. WADDINGTON.
" H. M. Glover, Esq., M.D., 14, Northumberland-
street, Newcastle."

FACTS FOR SAUSAGE EATERS.—At the Wisbech
sessions, last week, a man named Mark Fryer, a celebrated
manufacturer of saveloys and sausages, was charged with
stealing a pony, cart, and harness, from a butcher named
Cox, at Newton, near Wisbech. In his cress-examination
of the prosecutor, some of the secret& of the saveloy trade
were developed in rather an unfavourable aspect. It ap-
peared that the prisoner and Cox had for some time carried
on an active trade in supplying the London market with
what is known in the business as " casualty meat." On one
occasion, a dead cow, which cost them 11., was dressed and
sent up ; another, which cost 305., and was " killed to save
its life" was forwarded in the same way. The skin was sold
in Wisbech for 10s., and they received from the London
sausage manufacturer 31. Bs. 9d. for the meat. A large num-
ber of bills produced in court showed the extent of the trans-
i actions of the firm of Fryer and Cox. After Fryer had
taken away the horse and cart, he settled for about three
weeks at Grimsby, where he carried on a thriving trade in
sausages and saveloys, but having been detected in disin-
terring a dead pig he was compelled to leave, and transferred
his trade to Louth, where he was ministering to the appe-
tites of his customers at the time of his apprehension. The
