THE VOL UNTEEB MOVEMENT.

.._...--4--.
The troop of horse artillery attached to the Hon.
Artillery Company proceeded to Woolwich yester-
day, under the command of Capt. Jay, to draw from
the Government stores two six-pounder guns, wih
harness, &c., which have been granted for theta
of the troop.
The butt at the Crystal Palace erected for the
London Rifle Brigade having been found to require
some addition before it will be available for prac-
tice, the commanding officer is making arrange-
ments for the use of another butt at a convenient
distance from town, where ball firing can commence
without further delay. The exertions of the adju-
tant to organise a volunteer bugle band have been
attended with gratifying success. The band played
for the first time at the head of the battalion on
Tuesday last in the Regent's Park.
The Victoria Rifles (Ist Middlesex) still manage
to keep up
.a very creditable muster, the crack of
the rifle being heard all day long and under every
variety of weather in their spacious practice ground
at Kilburn. The evening parades are now chiefly
devoted to the bayonet exercise, in which thetnen
take the greatest interest. A strong desire exists
apy le
osn ofe
t
among the Victoria Rifles to develope the study of
the most formidable weapon upon the
- the fencing school, whereby the musket P
tarnidilebi
becomes beingcapable of wielded with nearly the
same skill and finesse as foil itself.

1 The commanding officer of the 13th Kent, or
Greenwich and Deptford Corps, has intimated his
intention of raisin a company of cadets formed of
youths between the ages of 12 and 16, Already 20
names have been received, the annual subscription
being fixed at 10s. 6d. A similar company is also
now forming for the Hatcham (New Cross) Rifle
Corps, the ages of the young gentlemen being fixed
at between 14 and 16, the annual subscriptions to
be 55., with a cost of £1 18s. for clothing. When
farmed this company is to be attached to the Ist
Surrey Rifles.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—As I observe that mention is made in your impres-
sion of the 28th inst. of some remains of the Bth Grenadiers
of 1813 having been found near the Old Fort at Toronto,
and as this gallant corps has recently returned from India
covered with honour and glory, perhaps it may be permitted
to me, the only survivor of the former, to bear the following
testimony to James, the American historian, who asserts
that on that occasion they allowed themselves to be all but
annihilated, that 110,only of the Bth Grenadiers were en-
gaged against 2,000 Americans for four hours, leaving on
the field two cfficers, four non-commissioned officers, and
86 rank and file out of the above number. For them no
Balaklava medal has been adjudged, and it has devolved
upon me, their only survivor, after so long an interval and
in this manner, to render a tardy justice to the memory of
the slain, and to attempt to perpetuate the recollection of
their exploits.
The remainder of the above heroic band nearly perished
under me, leading the forlorn hope at Sackett's Harbour,
the month following, in the year 1813, to all which facts
General Thomas Evans can bear the most unequivocal
testimony.

I have the honour to be, sir, yours very respectfully,
EDWARD FINCH,
Late Lieuteiant of the Ist Life Guards.
Kensington, Aug. 29.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT TO AN AGED LADY.—
Yesterday an accident occurred to an aged lady, a resident
of the Euston- road, which probably, owing to her advanced
age (72), will result in death, The unfortunate lady was
crossing the road opposite the Great Northern Railwaysta-
tion at King's-cross, when she was knocked down by a
heavily-laden omnibus, the wheels of which passed over
her, crushing her left leg and thigh in a frightful manner.
She was immediately conveyed to the Groat Northern
Hospital, but the nature of the injuries received was so
severe as to render amputation of the thigh imperative.
The poor lady is in a very precarious condition.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—As I observe that mention is made in your impres-
sion of the 28th inst. of some remains of the Bth Grenadiers
of 1813 having been found near the Old Fort at Toronto,
and as this gallant corps has recently returned from India
covered with honour and glory, perhaps it may be permitted
to me, the only survivor of the former, to bear the following
testimony to James, the American historian, who asserts
that on that occasion they allowed themselves to be all but
annihilated, that 110 only of the Bth Grenadiers were en-
gaged against 2,000 Americans for four hours, leaving on
the field two cfficers, four non-commissioned officers, and
86 rank and file out of the above number. For ,them no
Balsklava medal has been adjudged, and it has devolved
upon me, their only survivor, after so long an interval and
in this manner, to render a tardy justice to the memory of
the slain, and to attempt to perpetuate the recellection of
their exploits.
The remainder of the above heroic band nearly perished
under me, leading the forlorn hope at Sackett's Harbour,
the month following, in the year 1813, to all which facts
General Thomas Evans can bear the most unequivocal
testimony.

I have the honour to be, sir, yours very respectfully,

EDWARD FINCH,
Late Lieutexant of the Ist Life Guards.
Kensington, Aug. 29.

COLLIERY EXPLOSION IN BELGIIJM.--An ex-
plosion of fire-damp recently took place in, one of the pits
of the company of the Charbonnages Reunis at Charleroy,
killed six persons, and seriously injured others, one of them
mortally. How the explosion was occasioned has not been
ascertained.

NORTH ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.—A letter from
Captain Allen Young, dated Haldersing, Aug. 7, states
that the Fox was on the point of starting for Iceland, after
a successful survey of the Faroe Isles. All well on board.
A JUVENILE RIFE CORPS.—A "Juvenile Rifle
Corps" has been formed at Halstead, Essex. About 50 lads
have already been enrolled in this novel corps, and drill in-
struction takes place every evening, under the direction of
two West Essex militiamen.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT TO AN AGED LADY.—
Yesterday an accident occurred to an aged lady, a resident
of the Euston• road, which probably, owing to her advanced
age (72), will result in death, The unfortunate lady was
crossing the road opposite the Great Northern Railwaysta-
tion at King's-cross, when she was knocked down by a
heavily-laden omnibus, the wheels of which passed over
her, crushing her left leg and thigh in a frightful manner.
She was immediately conveyed to the Groat Northern
Hospital, but the nature of the injuries received was so
severe as to render amputation of the thigh imperative.
The poor lady is in a very precarious condition,

TILE STEPNEY IifURDE.R.

The police of the detective force from Great Scot-
land-yard, under charge of Mr. Thornton, with In-
spector Kerresey, and Sergeant Copping, of the K
division, have been engaged since the inquest be-
fore Mr. John Humphreys, the coroner for
East Middlesex, on Monday last, but notwith-
standing their united efforts, up to a late hour
'act nothing hAd tr.-iiicinrect positively
tending to implicate any one in the murder of the
unfortunate woman.

Mr. John Stevens, the summoning officer of
Mile-end Old Town, received a communication from
Mr. James Wright, an auctioneer and general
agent, of No. 5, Saville-place, Bow-road, who stated
that he was no doubt the person referred by the
female witness named George, the occasional char-
woman employed by the deceased. He did call on
business on the morning in question, and saw a man
in the yard as he passed up stairs. This infmma-
tion was forwarded to the office of the coroner in
Spital-square, and the constable at once received

instructions to secure the attendance of Mr. Wright
at the adjourned inquest this (Friday) morning.
The same officer has summoned a Mr. Rowland,
one of the tenants and collectors of rents of the
houses in Lamb's-fields, Bethnal-green. This wit-
ness was formerly a warrant officer of the Worship-
street police-court, from which place he was pen-
sioned off some years since. He addressed the coro-
ner at the close of the inquiry last Monday, and
stated that he could give some important evidence,
but the coroner told him to reserve his testimony
nail Friday.
Yesterday morning the coroner received a letter
by post in reference to the murder, and calling his
attention to a person who had threatened to do the
deceased some harm, but the communication was
so vague and unsatisfactory that little or no reliance
could be placed on it.
Inspector Kerresey ascertained that an old man
sitting at the apple stall at the corner of the Grove-
road could give some evidence in the case, and he
has been summoned for examination before the jury
at the adjourned inquest this day. The chief point
in his evidence will prove when the deceased re-
turned home on Monday evening after leaving
the house of Mrs. Chapman in the Canal-road, Bow.
Since the deceased's death the various collectors
have been directed to discontinue their visits to the
deceased's tenants in the several districts by order
of the solicitor for the trustees of the property.
A good number of persons have been to the
Arbour•square police-station, Stepney, and also to
Bow, with all kinds of reports, but at present there
seems no chance of capturing the guilty parties
connected with the mysterious grime.
London, England, 1860-08-31

MANSLAUGHTER BY A WIFE AT

LEEDS.

We briefly stated on Wednesday that Sarah
Willan, of George-street, Leeds, had been appre-
hended on a charge of causing the death of her
husband, William Willan, by striking him on the
head, and that, on being brought before the magis-
trates, she was remanded to allow of a post mortem
examination, and an inquiry before the coroner.
The inquest was opened on Wednesday at the
Town-hall before Mr. Blackburn and a jury, and
the evidence, which was somewhat conflicting, dis-
closed the following facts :—The deceased, who was
a joiner, was 22 years of age, and he married the
prisoner, who was two years younger, last Christ-
mas, by whom he had one child. At that time she
was obtaining a living by playing a hurdy-gurdy
at feasts and fairs, and singing at public houses,
and it would appear that within a few months of
the marriage the prisoner became jealous, and as the
result there was constant disagreement and ill-
feeling between them. Two or three months ago
they removed into George-street, and whilst there
the wife occasionally went out with her hurdy-
gurdy, the husband latterly being out of work,
jealousy making him reckless and indifferent. The
neighbours were frequently disturbed with their
quarrels, and one of the witnesses, named Julia
Davis, said that the husband beat his wife daily,
and so late as Saturday night last throttled her un-
til her eyes became bloodshot, and she had to gasp
for breath. Scenes of this kind she spoke of as of
almost daily occurrence, and she described a guar-
rel which took place on Saturday night week, when
the wife threw a mallet at the deceased, which hit
him over the head. They had been in the country
together, and the wife having gone to the Neptune
to leave her hurdy-gurdy, the deceased on her re-
turn home ten minutes later than himself struck
her, threw her down the steps, dragged her up
again by the hair of the head, and otherwise ill-
used her, until at last she seized a mallet, and
threw it at him, hitting on the head. These broils
were continued until Monday last, when the de-
ceased suddenly became unwell, and though Mr.
Seaton, surgeon, was called in by the wife, he
rapidly grew worse, and died a little after mid-
night. There were marks on his head, which the
wife admitted had been caused by her in self-de-
fence, and which led Mr. Seaton to suspect that
the subsequent death of the deceased was the result
of violence, and hence this inquiry. Mr. Seaton
was not examined, as it was found necessary to ,
adjourn the inquiry, but the Teraion of the affray

As the resolution of the Bank of France to put
its rate of discount to the same point as that of the Bank
of England seems to have been taken suddenly—ThursdaY
being the usual day for such changes—it is inferred that
the drain of bullion, which in the past two months has
amounted to nearly L 4,000,000, may have manifested itsel
during the past day or two with continued force. The ques-
f
tion of the Turkish Loan may jikewioe have had dome
influence.

London, England, 1860-11-13

`With respect to the aim, the comparative number of
hits and misses mentioned above speak for them-
selves ; but we may mention that volunteers and
regulars fired the guns by turn ; now fired Royal
Artillery, then fired volunteers, and the latter sent
their shot right through the holes which had been
made by the former—never in a single instance
showing unsteadiness of aim or unreadiness in firing.
The practice will be continued day by day until the
final demolition of the tower has been achieved ; but
yesterday's firing was quite conclusive as to the
comparative merits, at long ranges, of the old and
new ordnance. It is consolatory, however, to learn
that inasmuch as the sailing vessels have not been
entirely superseded by the steamers, neither is the
smooth bore likely to be put altogether out of com-
mission by the rifled gun. It seemed to be the
general opinion on the ground yesterday that with
smooth bores—although thirty-twos may as well
be given up as against stone walls—very good prac-
tice may yet be made by sixty-eights at short
ranges. It is considered that with these guns, when
fired from a distance not too great to spoil the aim,
the shot will so shake the walls as to do more con-
clusive mischief than the conical projectile, which
goes right through. But it must be admitted that
it is very doubtful whether any enemy possessed of
rifled cannon would let our honest old sixty-eights
near enough to display their peculiar excellences.
It is not believed that the destruction of any
more martello towers will be necessary, except such
as may be in the condition of that which is now
suffering at Bexhill. This is so far satisfactory, as
they are a legacy of Nelson's times, and are said by
good authorities to be still available as a means of
preventing a hostile landing, and it is further con-
sidered that, if armed each with an Armstrong
gun on a traverse, they would effectually prevent
anything like a surprise by a hostile army. Another
plea for their preservation is that each cost the
country £3,000, a ro.+bar mnsiderable sum to be
pounded away in a day's experimental tiring.
A sergeant's party from the photographic depart-
ment of the Royal Engineers was in attendance, and
took impressions of the effect of each shot and shell.
