THE HON-ARTILLERY COMPANY.
The following is a copy of the new warrant of the
Hon. Artillery Company received from her Majesty :
" VICTORIA REGINA.
" Trusty and Well-beloved,--We greet you well.
We being well satisfied of the loyalty and good
affection of our Artillery Company, and being there-
fore willing to promote the welfare and preservation
of it in its ancient good order and discipline, have
thought fit to authorize and empower you frequently
to exercise our said company in arms, as well in the
ground commonly called the Artillery Ground, near
Moorfields, as in other places where they have for-
merly exercised.
" And we do hereby likewise give you full power
and authority to hold courts, free and public, for the
annual choice of officers, except as hereinafter men-
tioned, and on such other occasions as may be neces-
sary and requisite, for the better government of the
said company, according to the rules and practice
thereof (except in so far as such ancient rules or
practice may be inconsistent with this our Royal
warrant), in such place and places, and at such time
and times as bath been usual: but we reserve to
ourselves the appointment, from time to time, of the
field officers and the adjutant of our said company,
as heretofore. And, as a mark of our Royal
favour, and of our interest and concern in the welfare
of our said company, we further reserve to our-
selves the appointment from time to time of all other
commissioned officers of our said company. And we
hereby declare it to be our Royal will and pleasure,
that the appoiqtments of all commissioned officers of
our said company (other than field officers and adju-
tant) shall endure for the period of five years, and no
longer ; and that the persons appointed shall be
selected by us from the members of our said Artillery
Company, provided that, as often as any vacancy or
vacancies shall occur amongst the officers so appointed
and selected, the same shall be supplied by us in the
manner aforesaid. And we do hereby will and direct
that the regimental sergeant-major of our said com-
pany shall be appointed from time to time by the
captain-general and colonel of our said company; and
that all other non-commissioned officers of our said
company shall be appointed from time to time by the
lieutenant-colonel, and shall be selected by him from
the members of our said company, provided that as
often as a vacancy or vacancies shall occur amongst
the said non-commissioned officers, the same shall be
supplied by the lieutenant-colonel of our said company.
" And we likewise recommend unto your care that
the commissioned officers of our trained bands of our
city. of London may list themselves members of the
said society, that so by the frequent practice of arms,
according to their rules, they may be the better
qualified to perform their trust in their respective
commands ; and for your so doing this shall be your
warrant.
" And, for your further encouragement, we do
think fit to confirm and continue our most dearly
beloved Consort, Francis Albert Augustus Charles
Emanuel, Duke of Saxony, Prince of Saxe Coburg
and Gotha, Knight of our Most Noble Order of the
Garter, and Field-Marshal in our army, Captain-
General and Colonel of your Company, and shall
testify our good will towards you on all occasions
proper for us to express it in.
" And we do hereby annul our Royal warrant,
bearing date the 14th day of September, in the year
of our Lord 1843, and all such rules and practice of
our said Artillery Company as may be inconsistent
with this present warrant; and so we bid you heartily
fare well.
" Given at our Court at St. James's, this 10th day
of October, in the 13th year of our reign.
" By her Majesty's command,
" G. GREY.
" Warrant to the Artillery Company, addressed to
our trusty and well-beloved the President, Vice-
President, and Treasurer, and Court of Assistants of
our Artillery Company of London."

STATE OF TRADE.—BIRMINGIIAM, SATURDAY.—
The iron trade is decidedly improving : good pigs are
becoming scarce, and are held at an advance of 2s. 6d.
per ton on low rates. This fact has had its influence on
the general trade, and the market for manufactured iron
is much firmer. Although the market is in some degree
unsettled, there is no disposition to submit to lower
rates ; on the contrary, a very general confidence is felt
that we shall experience a still further improvement on
the turn of the new year.
TILE TEMPLE.—A further call to the bar of
students of the Hon. Society of the Middle Temple has
been made, and they were sworn in this evening (No-
vember 24) in the Hall :—Mr. George Atty, Mr. Michael
Pendergast, Mr. David Bingham Daly, Mr. James John
Bate Rowley, Mr. John Marshall, Mr. John Bradshaw
Godfrey, Mr. Edward Harper, Mr. Frederick Lawrence,
Mr. William Nelson, Mr. James Stewart Thornburne,
Mr. John Wesley Nelson, Mr. Isidore Jollivet, Mr. John
Gilmour, and Mr. John Day.
BURNING OF A LUCIFER FACTORY.—DOVER, SA-
TURDAY.—At twelve o'clock yesterday forenoon the
whole of the military quartered at the Castle and on
the heights, with their engines, were called out to a
serious fire raging in the town. It broke out on the
premises of a lucifer-match manufacturer, the property
of Mr. Thomas Smith, situate in Black Horse lane,
Charlton, which, on account of the inflammable mate-
rials they contained, were quickly in flames, causing the
utmort alarm to the surrounding inhabitants. The
workpeople were absent from the premises, it being
dinner hour, and, from the fact of their having left a
pot of sulphur on the fire to simmer, it is pretty evident
the accident arose from its boiling over. At one time
of the conflagration it wan apprehended it would extend
to the granaries'iand stores belonging to Mr. lienry
Castle ; however, by the successful operations of the
engines, and the energies of the townspeople and mili-
tary, the flames wore confined to the building where they
originated, which, it is needless to add, was totally con-
sumed. Respecting the amount of loss it is difficult to
say, The factory was not insured.
