THE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT.—A 'meeting of
'Peers and members of Parliament friendly to the Volunteer
movement was held on Tuesday afternoon, in ono of the
tommittee-rooms of the House of Commons, to consider
the present position of the volunteer force, and what steps
811,)11(1 be taken to give it permanence. Lord Ellenborough
N%.48 called to the chair. A resolution was proposed by Lord
loho, and seconded by Lord Shaftesbury —" That in the
°Pinion of the meeting it is desirable that a Royal Com-
mission be appointed to inquire into the present position
and prospects of the volunteer force, and to suggest what
measures, if any, may be required to give it permanence."
This resolution was carried unanimously, and, on the
1/Iction of Lord Bury, a deputation of Lords and Com-
mons, non-volunteers, was appointed to lay the resolu-
ti'n, on the part of the meeting, before the Secretary for
war. The meeting, which was throughout characterised
by the utmost unanimity and earnestness of purpose, ter-
minated in a vote of thanks to the chairman, which was pro-
Posed by Lord Overstone and seconded by Lord Truro.
Letters regretting their inabilizy to attend were received
fr°ra Lords Chichester, Llanover, Leconfield, Lyttelton,
kirlie, Mount-Edgecumbe, Sir John Pakington, Sir Jas.
Ferguson, Col. Sykes, Mr. 11, Vivian, and Mr. Dillwyn.

t• F. H. Gell proceeded from Eastdean (where he had
been holding an inquest on the body of a young man who

bourne, to hold an inquest on the body of 1. enry Vernham,
used 32, who had also died from the effects of a fall over the
Ng. on the night of the races. It appeared from the evi-
dence adduced that deceased left the racecourse on the
evening, of Friday last, which was very dark, with three or
Lour other persons, in a state of sobriety. On arriving near
the Ship ho told his companions to wait there while he went
to feed his fowls, which are kept at a house near the cliff,
and
-he would then join them. 11.3 never returned, and
they Went away without him. On the following morning
his body was found under the cliff, which at that spot is
,a,,uout 280 feet high. The key of the chickenhouse and 13s
were found in his pocket. It was evident that the de-
eeasec had crossed the narrow track leading down the cliff
and Iv .lkE3d over. The jury returned a verdict of acciden-
tal death.—.'ussex Express.
