ACCIDENT TO A COLONEL OF VOLUNTEERS. —A
vat":
Commandant of the Dorset Rifle Volunteers. Four corn.
panies of riflemen assembled at Shaftesbury on Monday in
order
to :go through battalion drill in the cricket-ground,
and were put through numerous evolutions by Col. Mansell,
who was in command of the battalion. Everything passed off
satisfactorily until the volley firing, when the colonel unfor-
tunately got too near 'the line of fire, and one of the cart-
ridges struck him in the eye. He was immediately removed
from the ground and conveyed to the residence of Messrs.
Bennett, surgeons. where he received every attention from
the medical men of the town. The wound is a very serious
one, and doubts are entertained whether the gallant colonel
will recover the use of the injured eye.
NICKNAMES !—Sir Buivicr Lytton, in one of hie
noveis embodies in words a rtfiection which hem
occurred to everybody
in his experience of life. Whatever
be the cause, a " Jack" has little chance against a
" John"
in the race for fortune, although he may stand high in the
estimation of his friends as an amiable, or even as en excel-
lent man. Great men and good soldiers have had sobriquets
to be sure, such as the nickname of " Le petit Caporal" for
Napoleon, or the prefix of " Stonewall" to identify the
Southern fames belli from a host of namesakes. But when
a man becomes a "Joe," as Hooker, or an "Old Abe,'' as
president, or " Bill," or " Shiney William," as Mr. Seward,
he may he looked upon as marked out for an inferior place
in the world. We hear in the Southern papers of " Presi.
dent Davis" and General Lee—in the .Noithein of " Old
Abe" and " Fighting Joe." Americans on both sides are
fond of nicknames, but the difference here is siguificant,--n
, Army and Navy Ciazette.

FO WKE.

Mr. B. COCHRAIqE asked whether any arrangement
had been entered into by the Government with Captain
Fowke whereby he was to be paid for the designs exhibited
by him of the suggested improvements in the Exhibition
building.

Mr. COWPER said that, as far as his department was
concerned, he certainly was not aware of any such arrange-
ment. He had been all through under the impression that,
in respect of the designs referred to by the hon. member,
Captain Fowke had acted as a volunteer.

THE HOP PLANTATIONS.—ROCHESTER, June 16;
—The late genial rains Lave had a beneficial effect on the
hops. There are still complaints that the bine is attacked
by vermin on a few grounds. Up till now there is every
indication that the crop, if not a large, will be fully an
average one, although much will depend on the weather
during the next few weeks, the hop, of all our vegetable
productions, being most affected by atmospherical varia-
tions. About a month of warm sunny weather, in which
the
hop delights, will undo much of the mischief caused at
the
manyofcommencement of the season by the cold winds. In
the plantations the bine has already reached the
of
topthe poles, and altogether the planters' expectations
are exceedingly promising

THE ARMY.

A general Horse Guards order has been promul-
gated at Chatham garrison, in which his Royal
Highness the Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief
announces that he desires it to be distinctly under-
stood that the actual presence of the commanding
officer of a regiment is necessary at every monthly
muster-parade of officers and men under his com-
mand. Should the commanding officer, however,
be on leave, or engaged on any duty of importance
requiring his attendance elsewhere, such circum-
stance is to be notified against his name in the mus-
ter-roll, and the officer, next in command will super-
intend the muster and sign the official documents.
The whole of the troops belonging to the garrison
were yesterday assembled in review order on Wool-
wich-common, and were minutely inspected by
Major-Gen. Sir R. Dacres, K.C.8., in preparation
for a field-day to take place on the 24th inst., after
the distribution of the prizes to the gentlemen cadets
at the Royal Military Academy by his Royai High-
ness Field-Marshal the Duke of Cambridge. It was
yesterday announced that, to add to the display
which is designed for the 24th, a portion of the
Household troops are under orders to attend at
Woolwich, and in all probability their Royal High-
nesses the Prince and Princess of Wales will be

present.
Mr. G. Tyrrell, of Yarmouth, has contracted for
£70,000 to erect Hurst Castle Fort, in Hampshire,
with casement batteries, new lighthouse, &c. Mr.
Tyrrell is at present erecting extensive forts for the
Government in the Isle of Wight.

In consequence of the entire space at St. Mary's
Creek, Chatham, hitherto ussd by the Royal Engi-
neers for carrying on their course of instruction in
pontooning, diving, and sub-aqueous experiments,
being required by the Admiralty for the enlarge-
ment and extension of Chatham dockyard, the Royal
Engineer pontoon depot has been removed to the
opposite side of the creek, near Upnor Castle,
whither the pontoons and other apparatus have
been removed. Yesterday the available con-com-
missioned officers and men of the Royal Engineers
were employed in pontooning operations in the Med-
way, with the various descriptions of pontoons in-
troduced into the service, and during the day were
busily engaged in the formation of rafts and bridges
for the transportation of troops and war materiel
from one part of the harbour to the other.

AQUATICS—(This Day.)

DREWITT AND WILSON FOR £2OO.
The match between George Drewitt and Teasdale Wil-
son came off this afternoon, the distance being the usual
one, viz., from Putney to Mortlake. As far as position at
starting was concerned, fortune favoured Wilson,
for, as winner of the toss, he chose the Middle-
sex side of the river, and the usual preliminaries
having been arranged, the start was effected at about
a quarter to four. Wilson after the first few strokes seemed
to have a decided advantage, but as soon as Drewitt settled
down to his work he quickly diminished the trifling lead
Wilson had obtained. Before the men passed Finche's
Drewitt had altogether altered the state of affairs, for here
he had obtained a clear lead. The race was virtually over
at this point, for Drewitt had it all to himself, and he
rowed in a winner easily; in fact, he won the match just
as he pleased.
Odds at starting, 7 to 4 on the loser.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.—
Outward Sores.—Dailey experience confirms the fact which
has triumphed over opposition for 27 years---that no means
are known equal to Holloway's remedies for curing sores,
wounds, diseases of the skin, erysipelas, abscesses, burns,
scalds, and, in truth, all cases where the akin is broken.
To cure these infirmities quickly is of primary importance,
or the compulsory confinement in-doors weakens the general
health. The ready means of cure are found in Holloway's
ointment and pills, which heal the sores and expel their
cause. In the very worst cases this ointment has succeeded
in effecting a perfect cure, after every other means had
failed of giving any relief; desperate cases best display its
virtues.

OFFENCES (SOUTH AFRICAN) BILL.
This bill was read a third time.
CIVIL BILLS COURT (IRELAND) BILL.
Mr. O'HAGAN moved the second reading of this bill,
and explained at length its provisions. A high bailiff
would be appointed in each county by the chairman,
with a substantial salary of from £250 to £3OO a year, and
required to give ample sureties for the due performance
of his officte. This officer would have the appointment of
the under bailiffs, and would be responsible for their acts.
The bill would clearly &fine the fees to be charged.
In most respects the mode of proceeding adopted
would be assimilated with that of Et,gland. The
bill would take away the fees now allowed to
creditors in seizing growing crops, which at this time
resulted in great evil. The Government would be quite
ready to adopt all reasonable amendments.
Mr. GEORGE opposed the bill, considering it in oppo-
sition to the desires of the people of Ireland or the legal
profession.
Atter considerable discussion the bill was read a second
time.

THE HIGHWAYS ACT.

Sir W. MILES asked the Attorney-Generil whether, in
the construction of the following sentence in the schedule
of the Highways Act, viz.. "All question- shall be decided
by a majority of votes of the members preiert," it was ne-
cessary that there should be a majority of the persons pre-
sent, or whether it was sufficient that there should be a
majority of those who being present gave their votes.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the question had
not as yet been submitted to, nor had it obtained, judicial
interpretation, but it appeared to him that tha matter
was not open to any for doubt. In his opinion, it was
not sufficient that there should be a majority of those who
being present gave their votes, but there ought to be a ma-
jority of persons present voting one way or another.

is a curious coincidence, we would remark,
before closing these running commentaries on the
last telegrams brought to us by the Etna from
America—it is, to say the least of it, an exceedingly
curious coincidence, that while on the 16th of
June the member for Birmingham, here,
in England, is addressing a large meeting
at the London Tavern, in words full of
reproach to the Government and the Press of Eng-
land, because they have not hounded on this miser-
able war of the North against the Confederates—on
the 3d instant, that is at a distance of not quite a
fortnight previously, an enthusiastic meeting was
taking place in New York, in the name and
in furtherance of the Principles of the Democratic
State Peace Convention. A meeting very remark-
able both in numbers and in enthusiasm. Resolu-

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.227 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English }lint price of £3
17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 1-10th per cent. deafer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark,
and the short exchavge on London is 13. g per £1 sterling.
tandard gold at the Evglish Mipt price is, therefore, rather
more than 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Ham-
burg,
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 161 to 1614 per cent., and the premium on
gold is about 474 per cent. At ththeseeurnatiteesdthere is•a profit
on the importation of gold States.

Mr. M'MAHON moved a resolution "That it was ex-

country of country causes."
Mr. HADFIELD seconded the motion, and urged that
the expense of the proposed changes was not to be put in

the country.

Mr. BAINES suppot:ted the resolution, and instanced
Yorkshire as the county which suffered the greatest incon-

a ele7er writer in the Saturday Review, was a con-
stant friald of Isabey, the painter, till the connection was
rudely dissolved by that most dangerous of all pastimes, a
practical joke. He was passionately fond of nightingales.
He used to vow th.lt they were the best of models, the best
of music masters, and that he was largely and eternally in-
debted to them. His Love of music did not interfere with
his taste in cookery; and although he ate little, he was.tha
gourmand of the first water. One day he was dining

" It is a pate of nightingales," said Isabkey.up

TIIE ENGLISH AT ZANZIBAR.

Mr. STIRLING asked the Under Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs whether he had any information respecting
an outrage said to have been perpetrated by Arabs on an
English subject at Zanzibar, in February last, and respect-
ing reports lately published in the French newspapers of
hostile feeling against the European residents, excited in
the minds of the native population of Zanzibar by certain
alleged operations of British cruisers engaged in the repres-
sion of the slave trade?

Mr. LAYARD said that, in consequence of the question
of his hos. friend., he had referred to the French papers,
and he found in the Journal des Debats an account of a
state of things as represented by his hon. friend. It ap-
peared that a meeting had been held at Zanzibar of some
European residents, relative to the feeling of the Arab popu-
lation towards the English. But it appeared also that the
meeting was presided over by a French gentleman, and,
considering the sources of our information on the subject,
that circumstance was somewhat suspicious. If hon. mem-
bers would refer to the slave-trade papers laid upon the
table during the present session, they would see that while
the slave trade was repressed on the west coast of Africa,
it was obtaining an unhappy development on the east
coast, where it was carried on not only by French
agents, but under the French flag. The British cruisers,
however, under treaty with the Sultan of Zanzibar, were
endeavouring to put an end to the traffic, which had depo-
pulated whole districts, and was working an amount of
misery almost impossible to describe.
Mr. STIRLING asked whether any official information
had been received at the Foreign-office corroborating the
statements in the French papers.
Mr. LAYARD said that none such had been received ;
and he desired also to state that he ought to have de-
scribed the trade which the French were carrying on OR
the east of Africa as being nominally carried on for the
obtaining of free labourers.

For the Northumberland Plate, Polynesia finished the
favourite, advancing from 20 to 1 to 6 to 1, which was
taken rather freely. Bto 1 would have been taken about
Caller Ou; and, although no money was put on Brighton,
the highest offer against him was 9 to 1. Clarior and
Marigold appeared to be friendless, and Doefoot at one
time was not very steady, as 100 to 6 was laid, but at the
close 100 to 7 was taken. For the St. Leger, all the
money that could be obtained at 9 to 2 was taken about
The Ranger. 100 to 6 was taken about King of the Vale,
but the layers against Baron Rothschild's colt were much
the stronger party. Closing prices :

Mr. CONINGHAM asked the hon. member for Tyrone
what was the salary and the emoluments of Captain Fish-

Mr. CORRY said that Capt. Fishbourne received a salary
of £6OO a year, not as hon. secretary of the fund, but as a
member of the executive committee. He received no emo-
luments, but his travelling expenses were paid, and these
amounted, during the eight and a half years of his tenure
of office, to a total of £2Ol, or about £25 a year.

FO WKE.

Mr. B. COCHRANE asked whether any arrangement
had been entered into by the Government with Captain
Fowke whereby he was to be paid for the designs exhibited
by him of the suggested improvements in the Exhibition
building.

Mr. COWPER said that, as far as his department was
concerned, he certainly was not aware of any such arrange-
ment. He had been all through under the impression that,
in respect of the designs referred to by the hon. member,
Captain Fowke had acted as a volunteer.
WEIGHTS AND MEASURES STANDARDS.
Mr. DOULTON asked the Secretary to the Treasury
whether any steps had been taken to teat the accuracy of
the standard weights and measures deposited in the Exche-

Mr. F. PEEL said the existing standards had been in
use, the one since 1834, the other since 1835 ; but there
was no reason to suppose they were not perfectly accurate.
At the same time, there was no means of re-verifying
them, and no doubt their occasional ,re-verification was ne-
cessary. The matter was under consideration.

in the opinion of the house, it was the duty of the Govern-
ment to carry the law into effect by immediately removing
the same.

Mr. M'MAHON moved to add—" And all other en-
croachments on the property of the Crown and the rights
of the public in the tidal waters and shores of Ireland."
However, after a short discussion, in which Mr. F. Peel,
the Attorney-General for Ireland, Col. French, and Mr.

withdrawn.

cessary that there should be a majority of the persons pre-
sent, or whether it was sufficient that there should be a
majority of those who being present gave their votes.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the question had
not as yet been submitted to, nor had it obtained, judicial
interpretation, but it appeared to him that tha matter
was not open to any for doubt. In his opinion, it was
not sufficient that there should be a majority of those who
being present gave their votes, but there ought to be a ma-
jority of persons present voting one way or another.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Holloway's Ointment and
Outward Sores.—Daity experience confirms the fact which
has triumphed over opposition for 27 years--that no means
are known equal to Holloway's remedies for curing sorest
wounds, diseases of the skin, erysipelas, abscesses, burnt,
scalds, and, in truth, all cases where the skin is broken.
To cure these infirmities quickly is of primary importance,
or the compulsory confinement in-doors weakens the general
health. The ready means of cure are found in Holloway :Et
ointment and pills, which heal the sores and expel their
cause. In the very worst cases this ointment has succeeded
in effecting a perfect cure, after every other means had
failed of giving any relief; desperate cases best display its
virtues.
