TILE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENI.

The Inns of Courts Rifle Volunteers will be in-
spected by Col. M'Murdo, C. 8., in Richmond Park
on Saturday next at 3 o'clock p.m. The battalion
will parade in King's-bench-walk at 12, and march
from thence to Waterloo-station, over Blackfriars-
bridge, arriving at Richmond station about half-
past one. The firing will be with blank cartridge.
The Volunteer corps which has been in course of
formation in the populous suburb of Stoke New-
ington for about two months past, numbers now
130 men, who have been divided into two com-
panies, and a handsome subscription, which is
daily augmenting, has been raised among the
wealthier classes resident there, to meet the attend-
ant expenses. The members enter with zest into
the necessary drill, which takes place morning and
evening, and have already attained considerable
proficiency. Capt. Sewell, of the London Rifle
Brigade, and Corporal Rowsell, of the same corps,
residents in the neighbourhood, have ever evinced
a commendable desire to impart the knowledge and
experience gained in the regiment to which they
belong to the new suburban corps, and have regu-
larly attended the drill, to the manifest advantage
of its members. On Wednesday evening they
assembled at their head-quarters, in Barn-street,
and marched out to some distance to the music of
20 drums and fifes of the Coldstream Guards,
headed by Drum-Major Loomes, under the tempo-
rary command of Capt. Sewell, The corps has been
organized under the direction of a provisional com-
mittee composed of gentlemen of repute in the
neighbourhood, including the Rev. Mr. Jackson,
the rector; Capt. Hamel, the solicitor to the Cus-
toms; Mr. Wm. Beal, Mr. Morland, Mr. Vaughan,
Mr. G. Harker, and several more. The matters of
uniform and designation of the corps, choice of
officers and the like, are about to be settled, as also
the question, respecting which a little diversity of
opinion exists, as to whether they shall remain a
distinct corps or amalgamate with some one of the
Middlesex Volunteer regiments.
On Wednesday the sth company of Kent Volun-
teer Rifles (Capt. Plummer) assembled in the
Cavalry-square at the rear of Canterbury Barracks,
for the purpose of contesting for a series of prizes
offered for their competition by the officers of the
company. The first prize consisted of a handsome
silver goblet, given by Capt. Plummer ; the second,
an elaborately gilt timepiece, offered by Lieutenant
Sankey ; the third, a silver cigar-case, by Captain
Plummer ; and the fourth a silver drinking-flask,
given by Ensigri Furley. Throughout, the shoot-
ing was exceedingly good and creditable to those
who took part in the contest,and embraced 15 rounds,
at ranges of 300, 400, and 500 yards. 23 points
carried off the first prize, which were made by
Colour-sergeantNorman, who made no less than four
centres consecutively at 400 yards, and three centres
at 500 yards. Corporal Linford won the second
prize for 15 points ; Corporal Newman the third,
for 14 points ; and Private Howard the fourth, for
14 points also; Corporal Newman having gained the
third by shooting off the tie with Private Howard.
In the evening the prizes were awarded to the suc-
cessful competitors at the Freemasons' Tavern. On
a previous day the 6th Company (Capt. Austin's)
also had a match for two prizes, which was also
shot in the cavalry square. The prizes consisted of
a handsome silver cup, mounted on a pedestal of
Purbeck marble, given by the captain of the com-
pany, and another subscribed for by the subalterns.
The first prize was awarded to Private Castle, and
the second was obtained by Sergt.-Major Foord.
On Wednesday a stand of colours was presented
to the rifle corps formed in Barnstaple, consisting
of two companies, and designated the 6th Devon
Volunteer Rifles. The colours were presented by
Mrs. Potts, the wife of the borough representative
in Parliament, At 2 o'clock the volunteers met in
full dress uniform, under the command of Capt. E.
B. Savile, and shortly afterwards marched toTrafal-
gar House, accompanied by their regimental band
of 18 performers. At 3 o'clock the presentation took
place. Mrs. Potts, accompanied by many ladies and
gentlemen, presented the colours to Capt. Savile,
who accepted them in the name of the corps, and
sincerely thanked her for the beautiful and useful
gift. The presentation was received with cheers
from the volunteers and persons on the ground.

WHERE TO BUY A WATCH.—" The practical utility of a
good watch—the habits of regularity it generates, and the
advantages of the punctuality it assists in securing—are
facts proved beyond a doubt. The establisbnient then where,
at a reasonable charge, these advantages can be obtained,
must be worthy of attention. At Mr. Benson's, 33 and 34,
Ludgate•4zill, may be purchased the chronometer for sixty
guineas, the mechanics' watch for two guineas, and the
various other kinds of watches (duplex, lever, horizontal,
or vertical) at various prices—all displaying the utmost
finish and superiority of manufacture."—Daily Telegraph.
Benson's Illustrated Pamphlet, post free for two stamps,
is descriptive of every construction of watch now made.
Watches safe by post to all parts of the globe.
