its own account a few weeks ago. The troops were
under the command of Lieutenant. Colonel Sir T.
Beauchamp. Capt. Ensor of the East Norfolk Militia
acted as brigade-major. Colonel Ibbetson, accom-
panied by Captain the Hon. Harbord Harbord, of
the Norfolk Militia Artillery, and Captain Riddell,
16th Lancers, who acted as aides-de-camp, arrived
at about 3 o'clock, and was received with a general
salute. The corps then marched past, first by corn-
panieg, and then in columns. An enemy was sups
posed to land to the south somewhere near the
mouth of the harbour, and preparations were made

to repel him. The south battery was manned by the
artillery, under the command of Major Sir E. Lacon,
and some 58-pounders opened fire on the enemy's
boats, while a heavy fusilade was kept up against
those who were supposed to have got a footing on
shore, and skirmishers were thrown out in every
direction. The enemy was several times charged
by the Light Horse, and ultimately was supposed
to have retired discomfited. After some other
mamavres the Volunteers formed in square, and
the officers were addressed by Col. Ibbetson, who
said he should be able to report very favourably of
the whole of the brigade to the Secretary for War.

The annual inspection of the Ist Cheshire Engi-
neer Volunteers took place some days ago in the

Col. M'Murdo, the Inspector General, reviewed
over 3,000 Volunteers on Saturday on the Manches-
ter racecourse. The corps came from Manchester,
Salford, Rochdale, Ashton, Oldham, Swinton, Leigh,
Atherton, Woraley, and Farnworth, and comprised
a small troop of light cavalry (Ist Manchester Light
Horse), an artillery corps (19th Lancashire), and 12
corps of Rifles. The review was witnessed by
several thousands of people until those who were
not under cover were driven away by the pelting
rain, which commenced and finished with the pro.
ceedings. The troops were divided into two bri-
gades, under the command of Lieut. Col. the Hou,
Algernon Egerton, M.P. The reviewing officer
issued his impromptu orders personally, and, so far
as the extremely limited and ill-adapted space
would permit, the movements were made to resem-
ble a sham fight, during which the usual evolutions
were gone through. With the regular artillery
pieces were a couple of I.pounders of peculiar
pattern, lent for the day by Mr Whitworth,
the inventor. They were much used in the
skirmishing, for which they were specially adapted.
At the close of the review Col. M'Murdo
made a few observations in taking his fare-
well of the officers as Inspector General.
In the course of his remarks he said he had always
considered that the Volunteers could and ought to
work up to a certain standard of efficiency. This
they had done; but the standard had nothing to do
with the soldiers of the line. The efficiency of the
Volunteers he conceived was sufficient for the day of
battle, if ever they were required to face an enemy
upon their own soil. It was not possible, he thought,
even it they wished it, to work up to the efficiency
of regular soldiers; nor was it necessary they should
do so. He wished to give them a little parting ad-
vice. He had watched, marked, and admired them
from the cradle of the Volunteer movement. He saw
them when they were creeping; he saw them when
they were walking as firm, upright soldiers, bearing
arms in solid battalions and working in brigades and
divisions. It was now incumbent upon them to look
more to rapidity of movement. They had got the
knowledge and steadiness to deploy into line and to
change front. They advanced in line most admir-
ably ; but he would recommend them in future to
work:with rapidity in these movements. If ever they
found themselves in front of an enemy, they would
discover that that enemy had acquired the drill of
rapidity rather than of slowness and steadiness. In
the evening the officers and Col. M'Murdo dined
together at the Queen's Hotel, and the whole com-
pany rose and cheered him when he took his depars
ture.

On Thursday a contest took place at Richmond,
Yorkshire, between ten members of the Wensley.
dale (Yorkshire), and ten members of the Middleton
in Teesdale (Durham) Rifle Volunteers. The con•
test was for £5 a side, and resulted in favour of the
Wensleydale Corps, the score being Wensleydale,
589 ; and Middleton in Teesdale, 441.

Daring last week the Ist North York Volunteers
wera engaged in the formation of a new rifle range
at Langton Wold, which is nearly ready for use
The East York Rifle Volunteers have competed for
a prize of £lO given by the Mayor of Hull, to be
shot for at 650, 700, and 800 yards, with seven
rounds at each range, any position. The corn peti-
tors numbered 49, and the successful one was Con.
poral W. Kirk, who scored 52, the second prize
(money) being won by Private W. England, with
51 points. The annual inspection of the Ist West
York Engineer Volunteers, by Colonel Harman,
was satisfactory, except as to a part of their engi-
neering exercise, to which especial attention was
called by the inspecting officer, who said they
merely required practice to become efficient. The
4th North York Volunteers have competed for the
prizes given by Lord Bolton on their Wensleydale
range. The long Enfield rifle, to be shot for at
200 and 500 yards, at each range seven rounds.
The highest score was Sergeant W. Brewie, who
made 36, a tie between Lieutenant T. Fryer and
Privates Styan and Storey of 35, existing for
second money, which, after shooting off, fell to the
Lieutenant. The second long Enfield was contested
for in a novel way. Each competitor who had entered
was to have seven shots, but to be handicapped as to
distance. Winners of £5 and upwards were to shoot
at 600 yards, under £5 550 yards, and those who
had never won at 450 yards. The winner of the
first prize barred for second. Privates Humble and
Topham, who each shot at 550 yards, tied with 19,
Humble winning first place. Sergeant Cowper, who
shot from the same distance, was third with 17.
There were 20 competitors. Lard and Lady Bolton
with a numerous party were present, and his Lord-
ship afterwards entertained the Volunteers and all
corners at luncheon. The result of the shooting for
Lieutenant Bainbridge's challenge cup is that Ser-
geant Lupton, of the York Rifles, having made a
score of 42 by five shots at 400, 500, and 600 yards,
during a high wind, becomes the winner of the cup
twice, and is therefore now the actual possessor.
Corporal Abbey was the second, with a score of 36.

The Council of the National Rifle Association of
Belgium have addressed the following invitation to
the riflemen of England :—" Gentlemen,—On the
23d of September inst. will take place at Brussels,
under the patronage of his Majesty the King and
their Royal Highnesses the Duke de Brabant and
the Comte de Flandre, the great annual contest,
open to all riflemen, both national and foreign, and
at which a large number of our countrymen will
attend. Now that steam and railways have over-
come distance, and the necessity for passports been
removed, we trust that the English riflemen will
not fail on this occasion to renew the contest which
was inaugurated two years ago at Wimbledon, and
that they will attend and fraternally dispute the
palm of success with us. Gentlemen, we trust you
will accept our invitation and come in large numbers
and on your arrival you will see your noble and an-
cient flag aide by side with ours, and we assure you
you will meet a warm and cordial reception, which
cannot fail to bind closer the ties of friendship
which have already united for so long England and
Belgium. It is stated that arrangements are in
progress for the issue of cheap return tickets from
this country to Brussels, available from the 20th
inst. to the sth of October, only for volunteers.

The &slue Public, of Lyons, in speaking of
frauds in the wine trade, says :—" In France the
repression of fraudulent representations of wines and bran-
dies will always offer immense difficulties when the enuncia-
tion of origin is prudently confined to generalitie,, which,
although bringing into disrepute vast districts, injures no
one in his direct interests. Mme. Aguado may punish the
fraudulent sale of Chateau Margaux, which her vines in
Malec have never produced ; nothing can ho more legal or
more easy. Mr. Scott may do the same for the wines of
Chateau Laflitte, or Baron de Rothschild for those o
Chateau Mouton ; but no great result will be attained.
There are few hotels or dining.houses in France
or abroad where Chateau Margaux, Laffitte, or Mouton
is not at once supplied if asked for, And yet, does
the public know what is, in reality, the quantity produced
by those three privileged domains of Bordeaux ? Our
statistics are ten years old, but the quantity has tended to
decrease rather than augment since that period. Chateau-
Margaux produces annually from 100 to 110 casks, Cha-
teau-Laflitte from 120 to 150, and Mouton from 70 to SO,
The average value of those three great growths is at the
PeriA of th© vintage 2,4001 r.
