VOLUNTEER REVIEW IN HAGLEY-PARE.—The
volunteers of the counties of Warwick, Stafford, and
Worcester, combined for the purpose, had their annual
review on Easter Monday, in Hagley Park. The weather
was as favourable as could be desired, with the exception
of a thunderstorm in the after part of the day, which pre
vented a portion of the programme being carried out.
Battalions of volunteers from each of the counties named
were mustered at the review, and Lord Lyttelton was
present on the ground, in his uniform as Lord Lieutenant
of Worcestershire, and the Volunteers went through their
manoeuvres under the practiced eye of General Sir Edward
Fitzgerald Campbell, Assistant-Inspector of Volunteers,

the successor of the late Colonel Dick. There were
between 5000, and 6,000 spectators assembled in the
Park. The Warwickshire battalion formed the centre, the
Staffordshire battalion the right, and the Worcestershire
the left. The brigade advanced in open column of com-
panies on the left, covered by a wing of the First Worces-
tershire battalion. The force then changed front to its
right on its right battalion, the skirmishers accommodating
to the change. At the same time the movements became
more developed by the left wing of the Worcestershire bat-
talion being detached to protect the left flank, and extend-
ing itself along the crest of Milton's Hill. After this, the
brigade advanced in a new direction, passed through the
skirmishers, halted, and opened a rapid and continuous
file firing. The rifles were directed at the fencing on one
side of the park, over which the imagination portrayed a
strong body of foemen attempting to make their way. Other
evolutions were afterwards effectively carried out, in which
a violent storm came on, which drove the spectators pell-
mall wherever a shelter offered, and the volunteers would
perhaps have been glad of x sauce qui peu from the drench-
ing torrent. Discipline of course conquered in inclination,
and, having reformed quarter distance columns, they
marched down to the ground near the church, and the
officers being called to the front, were briefly addressed by
the Lord-Lieutenant. General Campbell, it is understood,
expressed himself well satisfied with the bearing and dis-
cipline of the volunteers and the promptitude with which
the manoeuvres were executed.

NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION. Lady
Martin, widow of the late Sir Henry Martin, has for-
warded £lOO to the funds of this institution, in memory of
her brother, the late Admiral Sir Henry Byam Martin,

Another instance of the extreme danger of jump-
ing from a carriage in movement has just occurred
in the department of the Aisne. M. Ravinet, Juge-de-
Paix at Chatillon-de-Mechaille, formerly member of the
Council-General, was proceeding to Bellegarde in a hired
vehicle with two other persons, when the horse took fright
and dashed off at a great pace. The driver endeavoured to
pull the animal up, but the reins broke. The man, finding
himself defenceless, then determined to jump out, and suc-
ceeded. M. Ravinet attempting to do the same, fell on his
head, and was so much injured that he expired shortly
after. The other two persons were afterwards thrown out
on the carriage upsetting, but received merely a few con-
tusions.

BOBBERY AND ATTEMPTED MURDER.—A ferocious
attempt at mtrder was made on Saturday afternoon,
in broad daylight, on a man nearly 80 years of age, named
William Hulme, toll collector, at a lonely crossing on the
Middlewich road, about a mile from Congleton. A tramp,
who is described as dressed in a white slop, with black cap
and cord trousers, patched on one leg, walked up to the
collector's box and entered into conversation with the old
man, who allowed him to sit down. After talking some
time the fellow took up a small axe with which Hulme had
been employing himself in chopping billets of wood, and,
pretending to play with it, he watched his opportunity,
and suddenly struck tho old man a tremendous blow
on the back of the head, which brought him to the
floor. He then hacked away at the head, inflicting no
fewer than 11 scalp wounds, and striking deep into the
large muscles at the back of the neck. The ruffian then
seems to have searched the box and made off with three
sovereigns, some silver and copper, and an old-fashioned
German silver double-cased watch, with bull's-eye glass
and braid guard attached. A young lady, named Washing-
ton, living at Padsberry-house, about a quarter of a mile
from the spot, happening to be passing, heard the old man's
groans, and at once gave the alarm. Mr. Harrison, surgeon,
was quickly on the spot, and renderdd every possible as-
sistance. The old man was removed to his house, and
had his wounds dressed. After a time he became quite
sensible, and was able to make a coherent declaration as to
the circumstances of the outrage. It is feared, however,oeee
that he will not recover. The police have not yet succeeded
in apprehending the ruffian who attacked him.—Manchester

which have so long ground their country to the dust,
hanging her patriots, starving her people, and sweep-
ing myriads of Irishmen, women and children,
off their paternal fields to find a refuge in foreign
lands. That the present position of Irishmen in America
is more favourable now, or than it ever will be in future, to
carrying out their wishes. That it now holds a more power-
ful position among the peoples of the earth in point of num-
bers, political privileges, social influence, and military
strength than was everheld before by any exiled portion, not
alone of the Irish people, but of any subjugated nation what-
soever ; but that it is now at its greatest strength, and in
the hard battle of the exile's life the race is dying out. To
obtain their ends they inculcate a strict observance of the
pledge as regards the promotion of a brotherly feeling
towards each other by the practice of mutual forbearance.
And the crowning resolution of the Congress runs thus—
" That we declare the said Irish people to constitute one
of the distinct nationalities of the earth, and as such justly
entitled to all the rights of self-government."—Ono a Week.
