The competition for the Middlesex bronze medal on Tues-
day ended in Capt. Field, of the Hon. Artillery Company,
becoming the winner, having made a total score of 60 marks,
at the ranges 200, 500, and 600 yards. The following com-
petitors being next highest in the order of merit, each gained
a £5 prize :—Serjeant Hooper, 40th Middlesex Rifles, 60
marks ; Private Richards, Ist London Rifle Brigade, 59
marks; Private Kennedy, 29th (North) Middlesex Rifles,
57 marks ; Corporal Gould, 37th Middlesex Rifles, 56
marks ; and Private Soller,39thMiddlesex (Finsbury) Rifles
56 marks.
The match between Oxford and Cambridge terminated in
favour of the latter. The shooting of Capt. E. Ross, the
winner of the bronze medal, was remarkably good, being
nearly up to that point which could not be surpassed. The
following are the total scores obtained by each competitor:

The shooting yesterday was announced to have com-
menced at half-past nine, but it was five minutes to ten
before the signal gun was fired, and even then it was some
time before several of the squads fired a single shot, owing
to their waiting to have their rifles tested.
The weather at commencement was very favourable to
the shooting, but towards 11 o'clock the sun was so intensely
bright that the shooting which took place then, until fully
an hour aftel wards, was conducted under great disadvan-
tage. Alter this time, until the close of the day, there was
a gentle breeze and just sufficient sun to make the day
agreeable without being oppressive. Two additional acci-
dents happened yesterday, John Bilham, Ist battalion
Coldstream Guards, was wounded in his left wrist, just
above the wrist, and Private Frank Davie, of Ist battalion
Scots Fusilier Guards, was injured in the right arm and
both cheeks from the splinter of a bullet. In the course of
the aftcrLoon the Duke of Cambridge sent a mounted or-
derly for copies of all notices in reference to the prevention
of accidents.

The following notice was posted up at various parts o!
the ground :

" 1. Any person firing at the target when the white
danger disc is exhibited above it will be fined 10s.

" 2. At each firing point are placed two boards, between
which competitors will fire at the targets with correspond-
ing numbers. Any person firing at the wrong target will

be fineo. IN.

" 3. Any person refusing to pay the fine at once will be
excluded from all further competition, and his entrance fees
returned,"

Previous to the markers and officers in charge o
firing parties resuming their duties after dinner they were
addressed by Colonel Steel on the above notice, and Lord
Elcho, M.P., said they were to see that no one discharged
a rifle except in the pits provided for the purpose, and with
the permission of the officer oc non-commissioned officer in
charge of the range. An officer had been disqualified from
further shooting owing to this cause, and the council had
determined to adopt the same measure in each case that
came under their notice.
This year the association have adopted a new system of
marking, consisting of painted discs, white representing a
bull's-eye, red a centre, and black an outer. Attached to
each disc is a brush, which washes out or paints over each
shot, as the case may be, the disc pointing out the exact
position of the shot, which the old system of marking by
flags did not do. Although the new plan has advantages
over the old one, it has one disadvantage in not clearly
notifying to the firing point that a man has left hismantlet,
for which Lieutenant Gould, of the 12th Surrey RifEs, at
the solicitation of Lord Elcho, was engaged yesterday in
devising a remedy.
The public schools competition for the Ashburton Chal-
lenge Shield caused great excitement, as a large number of
the upper ten thousand came down to witness the match.
There were eleven representatives of each of the following
schools :—Eton, Rugby, Cheltenham, Winchester, Harrow,
and Marlborough. The ranges were 200 and 500 yards, five
shots at each distance. Eaton won the Ashburton Challenge
Shield, and Mr. Deedcs, of Winchester, Earl Spencer's 'Jul),
value £2O, which was competed for by the best eleven from
each school. This prize was won last and the year before
a_.

out of seven shots, at 200 yards, and in firing for Lord 'Ver-
non's Prize, made three cartongs at an 8-inch bull's.-eye at
600 yards out of ten shots, which was justly considered to
be most extraordinary shooting.

he close of the day revealed some excellent shooting, and
Capt. Benning, Ist Bedford, headed the score with 20 ;

His Grace the Duke of Somerset, K.G. First Lord
of the Admiralty, arrived at the Admiralty-house,
Portsmouth dockyard, the official residence of Vice-
Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, G.C.8., yesterday
afternoon, from London, and shortly afterwards,
accompanied by Vice-Admiral Sir M. Seymour, and
Rear-Admiral Superintendent Geo. Elliott, walked
through the dockyard, going on board and minutely
inspecting the Enchantress, new Admiralty paddle
yacht, Master Commander Petley, and the Royal
Sovereign, turret ship. On leaving the latter ves-
sel, the Duke visited the Warrior dock, in which
the iron frigate Hestor is receiving her bilge keels,
giving a cursory look as he passed along at No. 4
dock undergoing alterations. From the Warrior
dock the duke proceeded in the Admiral's carriage
to the site of the intended naval barracks outside
the walls of the dockyard and between the north-
east corner of the yard and the London turnpike
road. The ground on which the new barracks will
stand will comprise part of the site of the northern
portion of the present Portsea fortifications which
are about to be levelled. After spending some time
there, the Duke re-entered the Admiral's carriage,
and, returning to the dockyard, embarked on board
the Fire Queen, steam yacht, Master Commander
Paul, and crossed over to Osborne on a visit to her
Majesty.
Vice-Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, G.C.8., Port
Admiral and Naval Commander in Chief at Ports-
mouth, yesterday morning shifted his flag at the
fore of H.M.S. Victory from white to red, the flag-
ship's guns firing the usual complimentary salute
on the occasion.
It was rumoured yesterday at Portsmouth that
the Channel fleet is about to proceed on a cruise in
the North Sea, and will probably make a second
visit to the Baltic.

few weeks bp on particular service Lumley's new
patent rudder, with which the vessel is fitted, has
been thoroughly tested at sea, and is declared by the
authorities to be a complete success, at least 50 per
cent. being gained over the old rudder, both in time
of turning and in the diameter of the circle.

THE ARMY.
His Royal Highness the Field-Marshal Corn-
manding-in.Chief will hold a levee at 1 o'clock on
Saturday, the 11th inst.
Yesterday Field-Marshal his Royal Highness the
Duke of Cambridge, Commander-in-Chief, held the
first review this season of the troops composing the

garrison of Chatham. Accompanied by Lieut.-Gen
the Hon. Sir James Yorke Scarlett, K C. 8., Adju

Cant-General to the Forces; Col. the Hon. R. Char.

aerie, aide•de-camp ; and Colonel Chapman, C. 8., he

arrived by early train from London, and was received
at the railway station by Major-General H. Eyre,
commanding the garrison, the guns at the Corn-
wallis battery, manned by a detachment of Royal
Marines, firing a royal salute. The various corps
were under arms at 9 o'clock. Each of the troops,
the whole of whom were in heavy marching order,

was provided with 15 rounds of blank cartridge. On
leaving the railway station his Royal Highness and

Staff rode to the other side of the garrison to St.
Mary's casemated barracks, just vacated by the In-
valid Depot, and now undergoing some important
alterations to adapt them for the reception of troops.
All the alterations are being carried out from the
suggestions made by the Army Sanitary Commis-
sioners, but it is probable that they will only be
used as a kind of makeshift, and before long revert
to their former use—that of vast store places for the
entire garrison. The Dake of Cambridge spent
half an hour at St. Mary's barracks, during which
he visited most of the quarters set apart for the
officers. His royal highness next rode to Brompton
barracks, occupied by the Royal Engineers and the
infantry of the Line, and spent a short time at that

establishment. The troops were formed on the Brea
Lines by 11 a.m., and, notwithstanding that the
strength of the garrison of Chatham is smaller than
it has been for a number of years, the force under
arms was an exceedingly imposing one. The
troops included the Royal Engineers, under the
command of Colonel H. D. Harness, C. 8., consist-
ing of the six depot companies as well as the other
companies at the head-quarters ; the Chatham
division of Royal Marines, commanded by Col. T.
Leman, C. 8., and consisting of two battalions under
the respective commands of Col- Lowder, Aide-de-
camp to the Queen, and Col. Foote, and three bat-
talions of infantry under the command, respectively,
of Col. H. Jervis, Col. E. Newdigate, and Col. the
Hon. J. J. Bourke, including the Ist and 2d Bat-
talions of the 4th King's Own, Ist and 2d Battalions
of the 12th Regiment, Ist and 2d Battalions of the
19th Regiment, Ist and 2d Battalions of the 20th

wicz is certainly not among the living. But it must
be hoped that there has been some exaggeration on Ay i,047/
this head, for no detachment with so many excellent a
officers as that of Horodinski possessed had appeared
in Poland since the beginning of the insurrection.
Ultimately Wysocki, after holding a council of
war, decided on Wednesday evening to repass the
frontier, and he is now, with by far the greater part
of his men, in Galicia. Ido not think the entire
number of killed and wounded in Wysocki's corps
can have amounted to anything like a hundred, end
very few indeed fell into the hands of the Austrians.
The arms they left in a place of safety.
Wysocki having been too late for Horodinski, and
not having waited long enough for Minniewski, it
is thought neverthe'ess that Mieniewski will eater
Volhynia to-day, and try for the third time whether
a few companies of Poles can drive the Russians
out of Itadziwilow. The tlircc detachments to-
gether, attacking the town in three different places,
could doubtless have taken it Testerday morning ;
hut now that the Russians are prepared, I see no
reason for supposing that Mianiewski will succeed
where Horodinski failed, and Wysocki was scarcely
able to make a serious attempt.
Wysocki's loss in ofileera wa3 very great, and of
the aides-de-camp, who were much exposed, scarcely
one escaped being hit. Garezinski and Domogeiski,

In spite of the report spread a few days ago that
Colonel Jordan had been killed while leading the
centre of the last detachment which left IVestern
Galicia for the Kingdom of Poland (1,100 strong,
in three separate bodies), it appears now, to the
great joy of his numerous friends, that ho is alive,
and not very seriously wounded. About 200 of the
entire force are said to have penetrated into the
kingdom. The rest were either killed, wounded,
and made prisoners, or driven back into Galicia,
Among the dead are several young men belonging
to the principal families in Poland.
Colonel Jordan was chief of Dembinski's staff
during the Hungarian war. He is the head of the
military division of Cracow and Sandomir, and the
last expedition but one which entered the kingdom
from Cracow in any force—the one in which Nullo
was killed--left under his direction, though not, as
many journals have stated, under his personal com-
mand. Before the whole corps could be got into
the presence of the enemy the first companies were
prematurely routed, and the general did not make

attempt the attacking party now appeared desirous
of operating on the flank of the army, which im •

troops afterwards retired in divisions, and formed
squares to resist the advance of cavalry. After
executing a few other movements with remarkab:e
steadiness and rapidity, the original line was re-
formed, and the entire force advanced, when a
general salute was given and the colours lowered.
The ender was then given for commanding officers
to proceed to the frout, when his Royal Highness
addressed them at some length. He expressed his

THE INSURRECTION IN POLAND,

(Rom the Special Correspondent of tile Times.)
GALICIAN-VOLHYNIAN FRONTIER, July 2.
The combined expedition from Galicia to Vol-
hynia, after being organised, disorganised, and re-
organised on various plans, was declared ready for
the frontier last week, and on Sunday the points of
rendezvous were made known, and orders issued to
assemble the same evening. Three thousand names
had been inscribed, and arms for that number of
men concealed in the woods near the border, but so
many seizures were made by the Austrian soldiers
and police that, at the last moment, it was found
impossible to arm more than 2,000. Then came the
news that Minniewski, who was to command the
left wing, and who had more than the usual diffi
culties to contend with in getting his force together,
would not be ready to cross with the main body ;
and, ultimately, when the centre, under General
Wysocki, and the right wing, under Colonel Horo-
dinski, had succeeded in reaching the forests which
extend from Galicia far away into Volhynia, it ap-
peared that between them they could only muster
from 1,100 to 1,200 men. With this very small
army, in two divisions, it was resolved to attack
Radziwilow, the nearest Russian town to the Aus-
trian frontier town of Brody ; and it was hoped that
if it were taken Minniewski would be able to enter
the place the next day with 500 new troops. To
wait for Minniewski was impossible, as there was
reason to believe that the Austrians were already
on the track of Wysocki and Horodinski; indeed,
the rear guard of the latter had scarcely crossed
when the approach of Austrian troops was an-
nounced, and some of the Polish gentlemen of the
neighbourhood who had undertaken to see the de-
tachment to the frontier would, but for the darkness
and storminess of the night, in all probability have
been made prisoners.
The plan agreed upon was that Wysocki and
Horodinski should both make for Radziwilow—
the former from the immediate neighbourhood, the
latter from a point about six English miles to the
south. If Horodinski was attacked first Wysocki
was to march to his assistance. Otherwise, it was
the intention of Wysocki to remain on the defensive
in the woods before Radziwilow until Horodinski
announced his approach.
This plan for various reasons could not be carried
out. Wysocki, pursued by the Austrians, had to
take a difficult and circuitous road to the border, or
he would have been stopped before he had fairly
started, and when he had at last got over his men
had marched nearly 30 miles and had eaten nothing
for 24 hours. Worse than that, it was 7 in the
morning, and there were no signs of Horodinski,
who had promised to advance towards Radziwilow
at daybreak, and expected either to arrive there at
3 o'clock, or, in the event of being attacked by
superior force, to receive aid from Wysocki within
an hour, at the utmost, from the commencement of
the battle.
However, at about 8 o'clock some 800 Russians
had collected outside Radziwilow, and were gradu-
ally improving their position, when Wysocki, though
still ignorant as to the position of Horodinski, found
it necessary to attack them. The oppoing forces
were nearly equal, but the Russians, it is to be pre•
sumed, had had a few hours' sleep, and something
to eat the day before, and had not worn themselves
out by a march of 30 miles. There was plenty of
cover on both sides, the Poles firing for the most
part from a forest, while the Russians aimed coolly
and quietly enough from a field of rich, ripe corn,
which if it could not protect at least sufficed to con-
ceal them. Between the wood and the wheat there
were a few houses and huts, chiefly inhabited by
Jews. Here a numer of Rssian sharpshooters
established themselvebs, and foru some time kept up a
murderous fire, from which the Poles could only
save themselves by burning the miniature village.
When the Russians came out they were charged
and driven into the corn by a company of sithemen.
This was the only instance of anything like hand-
to-hand fighting throughout the battle. No cavalor
ry
were engaged, there were no bayonet charges,
was a single volley fired. The Russians,

that a h,
...ttle was going on, and perceiving that
"eerne one had blundered," went into the thick of
the fire and told the General that he bad seen Ho-
rodinski cross over into Volhyuia the night before.
Wysocki thought that if he went on fighting Ho-
rodinski must soon be near enough to hear the
firing ; but Horodinski was dead. Ho had fallen in
a desperate hand-to-hand struggle in the middle of
the market-place of Radziwilow at the head of his
troops, urging and calling them on to the very last.
It is feared that Major Sykiewicz, who commanded
the infantry, shared his fate. My informant saw

Mielencki, the chief who distinguished himself so
greatly in the region of Kalisch, some two months
ago, against the troops of Prince Wittgenstein, and
who, according to the Russians, was killed, accord-
ing even to the Poles mortally wounded in his last
battle, is expected again in the field. The circum-
stances under which Mielencki joined the insur-
gents in the first instances are rather remarkable.
In the government of Warsaw, close to his own
residence, he was out riding one day, when he found
a priest belonging to one of the newly formed de-
tachments defending himself against three Cossacks,
who had surrounded and were threatening him.
Mielencki rode up to the group, wrested the lance
from the grasp of the Cossack nearest to him, ran
him through, attacked the second, and put the third
to flight, Cossack No. 2 following soon afterwards.
The insurgents, who had witnessed Mielencki's ex-
ploit from a distance, now came up, asked Mielencki
who he was, to possess such daring and such dex-
terity in the use of arms and yet not belong to the
insurrection, and ultimately entreated him to take
the command of their detachment. Mielencki would
not hear of such u thing. He explained that he was
married, and had not been married very long, and
that it did not enter into his views to desert his
family ; but no such excuses availed him. The in-
surrection claimed him for her own. Mielencki
had full permission given him to write a letter to
his wife apologising for not returning home so soon
as he had originally intended, and then was hurried
off to the theatre of war, where one cannot help
thinking, from the zest with which he entered into
the spirit of the performance, that he wished in his
heart to be from the very first moment.
According to the Gazeta Na, odowa of Lemberg,
there were 13 officers and 140 soldiers killed, and
240 soldiers wounded in the railway accident with
a purpose done not long since at Malkinia. Railway
travelling is not a very agreeable mode of locomo-
tion just now on the Polish lines. It is bad enough
if the engine-drivers and conductors are in the ser-
vice (as most of thorn notoriously are) of the Na-
tional Government. If they are not in its service
the case is rather worse, as the rails are taken up
without their knowledge. Then, instead of driving
hero the insurgents

is a shock from which all passengers suffer alike.
The train, however, which is said to have been
smashed to pieces at Malkin seems to have car-
ried soldiers alone.

OAK SILK WORMS.--The culture of the oak silk-
worm, from Japan, is not the least interesting of
the attempts made in this direction. A few grammes of its
eggs, sent to the Imperial Acclimatation Society, were con-
fided to some of its members. Other eggs, placed in M.
Guerin Meneville's hands by Dr. Blether, were distributed
by that gentleman amongst agriculturists, who not belonging
to the society, could not profit by the distribution made to
its members. It is now possible to form some idea of
the results obtainable from the oak silkworm, M. Guerin
Meneville having presented to the Acad6mie des
Sciences coccoons produced by worms hatched from the
eggs that had been confided to him. Those eggs although
hatched somewhat prematurely, gave caterpillars which
have been successfully reared at divers and distant points
of France—at Vincennes for instance, and at Toulon ;
and, above all, the caterpillars feed and thrive on the
leaves of the common oaks of the forest, Quercus pedun-
culata and sessiflora. But besides the Japanese silkworm
of the oak, there is another oak silkworm obtained
from the north of China. The introduction of this
valuable species, which had been vainly attempted for the
last ten years, is now in the way of being accomplished .
Larvae, hatched on the 19th of May last, had already, at the
time of writing, reached their second moult or change of
skin without manifesting the slightest symptom of disease.
Their co:our at first was deep black. They afterwards be-
came bright green, studded with orange and sky-blue
tubercles. It their introduction succeed, it will supply,
during the cotton dearth, the material for one more branch
of industry.—Dickens's " All the Year :Round.'
