THE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT.

The prizes recently competed for by the members
of the 37th 'Middlesex Rifles were distributed to
the successful competitors on Saturday evening
last, at the New Infant School-room, Endell-street,
Bloomsbury, which was tastefully decorated with
flags and flowers. Major Jeakes, the Major-Com-
mandant, presided, and on the platform were seve-
ral ladies. The chairman said he was glad to be
able to congratulate the members upon the success
of the corps. About 12 months ago they mustered
only 60, but now the corps consisted of between 300
and 400 effective members. Great credit was due
to the members engaged during the day is mecha-
nical pursuits, who had come regularly night after
night to drill. The requisite number of men having
been obtained, the Lord-Lieutenant had given his
permission for the formation of four companies,
and he (the chairman) had been promoted to the
rank of Major—an appointment, however, which
he should hold only as long as he could be of service
to the corps, and no longer. Two gentlemen had
already sent in their testimonial fer the appoint•
meat of adjutant, and he hoped soon to be able to
report that one of them had been chosen. The
Rev. A. W. Thorold had consented to act as their
honorary chaplain. A band had ben formed under
the direction of Mr. Tweedie, and would play for
the first time on that day fortnight. To Mr.
Gregory they were indebted for one of the best
drill-grounds in the metropolis, and that gentleman
had offered a building for their head-quarters.
They had met with many drawbacks in their rise
practice from not having a practice-ground of their
own ; but Colonel Bigge was in view of one, and he
hoped soon to be able to report that they had se-
cured a practice-ground and butt of their own.
Government, he was glad to say, had recently granted
00 rounds of ammunition per man annually. A re-
solution having been passed, reducing the annual sub-
scription from a guinea to 103. 6d., and another
nominating Messrs. Gardner, Gregory, Butt, and
Robert for the vacant commissions to be submitted

TRE ARMI.

By the death of Lieut.-Gen. Willis, Col. Strans-
ham, Commandant of the Woolwich Division of
Royal Marines, receives his promotion as Major-
Gen., and retires from the command, in which he
will be succeeded by Col. Campbell, Second Com-
mandant. According to precedent, the announce-
ment will not be forwarded to those concerned
until the funeral of the deceased General shall have
taken place.

Capt. Haverfield, Woolwich Division, Royal
Marine Light Infantry, was on Saturday recalled
by telegram from leave of absence, and was ordered
to hold himself in readiness for service on board her
Majesty's screw steam frigate Narcissus, M, toge-
ther with Second Lieut. Swinton, one sergeant, one
corporal, one drummer, and 46 privates, and five
privates for the gunboat Penguin, tender to the
Narcissus. None but men of good character and
passed soldiers are to be embarked.

Two hundred men belonging to the Woolwich
Division of Royal Marines were on Saturday
granted live and six weeks' furlough to visit their
friends for the Christmas holydays, and also an
equal proportion from the brigades of Royal Artil-
lery at Woolwich were granted a similar indulgence.

We were very scantily supplied with foreign stock to-
day, yet the demand for it was heavy.
Most of the English beasts on offer were the refuse of
last week. All breeds were heavy in the extreme, at Thurs-
day's decline in value of 4d per 81bs. The extreme value
of the best Scots was 4s 10d per 81bs.
Sheep were in short supply and heavy request, at almost
nominal currencies.

Calves and pigs commanded no attention, at about pre-
vious rates.

The supplies of meat on sale here for Christmas con-
sumption are 'very large ; nevertheless, the trade generally
is brisk, ane, prices rule high.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were
scantily supplied with wheat, and all kinds were taken off
readily, at an improvement in value of fully ls. per qr.
Fine barley and oats were firm in price, and the value of all
other articles was well supported.

Advices from America state that very little business was
doing in produce for export purposes, and that prices of
both wheat and flour were somewhat drooping. Through-
out the continent wheat has become firmer in price; but
the business doing in it for spring shipment has not in-
creased.

Up to our market last week the arrivals of English pro-
duce were very moderate. The imports from abroad were
17,029 quarters of wheat, 7,564 barley, 19,105 oats, 4,096
beans, 20 peas, 480 seeds, 685 sacks, and 9,994 barrels of
flour.

A very limited supply of English wheat was on effer in
to-day's market, coastwise and by land carriage. Although
the attendance of both town and country millers was small,
all kinds of wheat of home produce sold at an advance in
the quotations, compared with Monday last, of from is to
2s per quarter. At that amount of improvement a fair
clearance of the stands was effected. The general quality
of the samples was inferior.

We were somewhat heavily supplied with foreign wheat.
Notwithstanding that the demand was by no means active,
prices were quite ls. per quarter higher than on this day
se' nnight.

Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request, at
very full prices.

We have to report a fair, but by no means extensiye de-
mand for barley, at fully last Monday's currency.
There was a fair sale for both old and new malt, at full
quotations.

Good sound oats were in request, at very full prices.
Low and damp parcels moved off slowly, at late rates.
Beans were firm in price, but the demand for them was
far from active.

There was a steady inquiry for peas, at late rates.
11l kinds of flour were quite as dear as last week.

12.1ILTVAY INTELLIGENCE.

The railway intelligence of the week is again
unimportant. At a meeting of the Dundee and
Arbroath a dividend was declared at the proposed
rate of 6 per cent. per annum, leaving a balance of
£1,984. The traffic in the past half-year has in-
creased by £2,293, notwithstanding the prevalence
of unfavourable weather. The expenditure has
been augmented by £447 only. The proposed ap-
plication to Parliament of the
.Caledonian, Edin-
burgh and Glasgow, and Scottish Central Com..
panics for power to amalgamate will be opposed by
the Government. The works of the Cheshire, Mid:
land have been formally commenced. The line
will begin near Altrincham and terminates at
Northwich. and will be guaranteed 44 per cent, by
rais-
ing Manchester. Sheffield, and Lincolnshire*
At a
meeting of the Welland (Canada) it .was
that, owing to the unusual financial depression in stated
e d Canadian
due

PROGRESS OF THE THIRD CLIINA

WAR.

(From Special Correspondent of the Loudon and Ctia
Telegraph.)
OFF THE PEIRO, Aug. 12, 1860.
My last was dated from Tah-lien-Whan, and we
were then in expectation. Our hopes had indeed
been cheered by the advent of Lord Elgin, and we
looked forward to some definite movement, which
has at last been taken. It is now too late to speak
about the time wasted during this summer season,
as we have at last a chance given us, and, like
honest Sancho Pause, we must not look too closely
at our gift horse. If neglect has be©n the prelude,
energy must now compensate for it, unless all con-
cerned with the direction of this undertaking are
willing to accept the odium which must attach to

those who lose great opportunities and trifle with

their nation's interests. They seem now willing
enough to work, and therefore let us give some little
commendation when it is deserved. On the 26th of
last month we started from Tah-lien-Whan, the
day when the steam fleet moved to Odin Bay, to be
ready to render assistance to the numerous sailing
vessels which were employed by the Government.
We left en masse for the Peiho ; and if the Chinese
were on the watch, it was a sight sufficient to
awaken their gravest apprehensions. Not less than

250 sail of English vessels left, in such admirable
order that nothing was to be desired ; and we had
a fair opportunity, at last, for giving credit to our
admiral for something done. Could he always
be sure of conducting other matters as well as he
conducted that, then would we say that we had at
last the right man in the right place, and some
confidence would be exhibited by those under him.
As far as I can gather, he now is followed with that
heroic devotion which is part of our countrymen's
pride—when they will sooner support mental in-
competence, and perish for want of a better leader,
than raise a cry against one whose personal cou-
rage cannot for a moment be disputed.
The command of the military is in Sir Hope
Grant's hands, and if report speaks truly, we need
no better soldier. The landing of the troops ne-
cessarily occupied some time ; this has been effected
most satisfactorily. I should here mention that the
main body of the fleet is at anchor about five miles
from the shore. The land is so low that it is hardly
perceptible, and although every top was filled with
men and officers, it was two days before any reliable
information could be obtained. The following,
however, may be quoted as authentic :

ON THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of
STRICTURES of the URETHRA; showing why they
so often appear Incurable, when in reality they might be
removed by the most simple means.
By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E.,
And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the
Cure of Strictures of the Urethra.
_ _

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. Ist, 1858.

THE STEPNEY MURDER.

Tho coroner (Mr. Humphreys) this morning resumed, at
the Railway Tavern, Gore-road, Stepney, the inquiry re-
specting the death of Mrs. Mary Emsley, who was found
brutally murdered at her residence in Grove-road.
The man Mullins, who stands accused of the crime, was
not on this occasion present, and the interest which the
former investigations have excited seemed totally to have
subsided, owing, no doubt, to the circumstance of his com-
mittal to Newgate by Mr. Selfe, the magistrate at the
Thames Police-court.

The witnesses examined this morning were the niece of
the murdered woman, Mrs. Gottz, whose evidence, it will
be recollected, went to show that a certain key found in
the possession of Mullins was given to him by Mrs. Ems-
ley the day previous to her death. Michael Gafferey also
repeated his evidence as to the excited state of Mullins
after the murder had been discovered, and Mrs.F uke again
stated the effect of a conversation she had with Mullins
about the penurious habits of the deceased, when he said
it was a great pity such a miserable old witch should be
allowed to live.

Mr. Wood, who attended for Mullins, put several ques-
tions to the witnesses, in cross-examination, but did not
elicit anything that in any way altered the charge against
his client.
The Coroner, at great length, summed up the evidence,
and the jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against
Mullins.

D.RUBT-LANE TiIEATBE.

Mr. Smith commenced his winter season last night with
a company much stronger than we have had for many
years, for it has lately been the practice of the energetic and 1
enterprising lessee to rely entirely on his pantomime for a
profitable result of his campaign. Although, from former
successes, Mr. Smith might safely depend on the brilliant
efforts of Mr. Beverley, the scene painter, it seems to be his
intention to produce entertainments of the highest class,
supported by the best talent money can secure.
The entertainments last night consisted first of " God
save the Queen," which, contrary to the usual prac-
tice, was sung at the beginning of the evening ; Mr.
Oxenford's drama of "The Tragedy Queen," in which Mrs.
Stirling assumed her original character ; of the comedy of
"Married for Money," in which Mr. Charles Mathews and
Mrs. Frank Matthews sustained the parts in which they are
so familiar to the public ; and in the little piece of " Ills
Excellency," in which Mrs. Charles Mathews appeared in
conjunction with her husband. All these popular per-
formers were received on their several entrances with ap-
plause.
The first moiety announced for production is a drama by
Mr. Watts Phillips, in which Mr. Benjamin Webster and
Paul Bedford sustain the principal parts. The theatre, con-
sidering the unfavourable weather, was very well attended.

AUSTRALIA.

The following is the summary of the Melbourne
Herald of August 25 :
Another Ministerial crisis, of an unprecedented
kind even in these Scuthern colonies, forms almost
the sum of political events since the date of our
previous summary. The remote cause of this crisis
is, the general disagreement between the two
Houses of Legislature respecting the principles
which ought to govern the adjustment of the land
question.

At this moment the late Nicholson Ministry aro
at work again, and a reconstruction of that
Cabinet is to be sought, but with what prospect of
success it is impossible to say. Should they even
be able to assure his Excellency of their ability to
carry on the Government of the country, and thus
be recalled to office, they may find it much more
difficult to carry out that assurance than they
imagine, when they come to face the house with

their new policy. So constantly have they been
shifting their ground, and changing their tactics,
since their first entrance into office, to no practical
purpose, that the house and the country have lost
all confidence in them. This being the case, it is
hard to say when these complications will ends
Business in both houses has, of course, been at a stand
still, and so it is likely to continue, for a time at
least.

The delay which has taken place in completing
the purchase of the Geelong and Melbaurno Rail-
way has caused a considerable amount of ill-feeling
here, and is likely to be productive of no good to
our credit in England. The hitch arises from a
dispute between the Government and the company
as to whether the purchasers or the vendors should
be responsible for any claims which may hereafter
be brought against the company for any acts done
by them up to the present date.
The ticket-of-leave system has been abolished, an
arrangement much desired, and which has given
great satisfaction. There is no other political event
of importance to be noted.
