produce some disturbance, but the latest ac-
counts represent all as being quiet. We believe
it is the determination of the directors not to take
back the ringleaders in this turn-out on any terms.
As usual in such cases, the innocent are punished
with the guilty ; but it seems impossible to discri-
minate. The effect of the turn-out must soon be
very painfully felt by those who are idle. The
loss of wages and consequent loss of food fall
on the poorer portion of those employed and on
their families, and we greatly regret this most
unfortunate occurrence, as it brings misery and
distress on so many homes, and prevents the
pursuit of that employment from which they de-
rived their comforts. We should he glad if the
magistrates and clergy of the district would endea-
vour to induce the misguided workpcople to con-
sent to go to work ; and we doubt not that the
directors, whose patriotism and kindly feeling are
undoubted, would rescind the order for the suspen-
sion of the works, and allow the labourers and
others to resume their employment."

TUE VOLUNTEER .7.IIOVE3IEIV

The 3d West Riding of Yorkshire (Bradford)
Rifle Volunteers, who passed an official inspection
with great credit on Saturday last, are about to,
commence shooting practice forthwith, havlng-,
under the active and able superintendence of the
adjutant, Capt. Lepper, become proficient in their
position drill.

The two battalions of the Edinburgh Rifle
Volunteers were inspected in Holyrood Park, by
Colonel M'Murdo, the second on Saturday and the
first on Monday evening. On both occasions the
battalion was put through a variety of field move-
ments, including skirmishing on the adjoining
heights. In both cases, the colonel expressed wreat
satisfaction with what he had witnessed. In ad-
dressing the commanding officer of the first battalion
on Monday, be said the movements had been per-
formed with great steadiness and regularity. After
some remarks as to the propriety of equalising com-
panies in parade movements, he said, "Your advan-
cing and retiring in line was, in one word, admir-
able. In the army this movement is considered one
of the most difficult, but my experience of volunteers
is that they do it better than anything else ; in fact,
they always do it well. Your skirmishing is correct
in principle, and when you have learnt the princi-
ples of skirmishing, in connection with the use of
the firelock, your colonel will take you over those
hills, where you will learn the advantage of cover.
Skirmishing must be your forte,and you are learning
it according to correct principles."
The sith of August, the day of the review of the
Scotch Volunteers by the Queen, will be observed
as a holiday at Edinburgh, and also by various other
towns, in order to allow the Volunteers to be pre-
sent. Many of the public buildings in Edinburgh
will be made available for the muster and accom-
modation of the Volunteers. The railways are offer-
ing facilities and advantages to the Volunteers from
all parts, but it is almost impossible yet to tell the
number likely to take part in the review, and the
movements to be executed must depend on the num-
ber on this ground.
A silver bugle will be presented to the Colchester
Volunteers on the 9th of the ensuing month, by
Lady de Crespigny. The presentation will be made
in Alresford-park, kindly placed at the disposal of
tins, Volunteers by Mr. W. W. Hawkins.
In addition to the cup which will be given in
September by the Sheriff of Norfolk to the best shot
among the Volunteers of that county, Mr. J. Mid-
dleton, of Ilaynford, has offered the handsome sum
of £5O for division among the second, third, and
fourth shots.
The 33d Middlesex Rifles had the honour of re-
ceiving a silver bugle on Tuesday last from the
ladies of Tottenham. The bugle was presented by
Mrs. Hall, the wife of the vicar, the Rev. W. J.
Hall. The ceremony took place in the grounds of
Captain Goss, in the presence of a large assem-
blage. After the presentation a party of about 200
sat down to an excellent dinner, provided by the
kindness of the captain. The corps now musters
85 effective members.

A grand review of Volunteers of Gloucestershire,
Worcestershire, Herefordshire, and South Wales,
is to take place in the neighbourhood of Gloucester-
shire on the 18th of September. Earl Ducie, Lord-
Lieutenant of Gloucestershire, has announced that,
the nu-office authorities have sanctioned the prp-
posal, and arrangements have been commenced for
the assemblage of the Volunteers on the occasion..
The place selected is a large tract of commonabie
land called the Town Ham and Maisemore Ham,
close to the city of Gloucester.

11EALTI1 OF LONDON DURING TIL?

WEEK.

(From the Registrar-General's Report.)

In the week that ended last Saturday the num-
ber of deaths registered in London was 975. For
the corresponding weeks of the tea years 1850.59,
the average number of deaths is found, with cor-
rection for increase of population, to be 1156. The
result of the comparison is satisfactory; for the
actual number of deaths in last week was less by
181 than the estimated number.

The deaths from small-pox were not more than
11. There were 51 from measles ; 4 of which oc-
curred in the Belgrave subdistrict, 3 in St. Mary
(St. George-in-the-East), 4 in the Leather-market,
Bermondsey, and,3 in:the East subdistrict of Green:
with. There were 32 from scarlatina ;4 of which
occurred in Poplar. Diarrhoea exhibits a slight in-
crease, for it was fatal in the two previous weeks in
12 and 21 cases respectively, last week in 32. There
were also 2 deaths from cholera, viz,, that of a wo-
man aged 22 years, on the 16th inst., at 42, Wel-
lington place, Mile-eud Old-town; and that of a
w•iinan aged 55 years, on the same day, at 22, Tot-
tenham-place, Tottenham-court-road, from cholera
(15 hours) convulsions.
A boy aged 3 years died from burns received by
lucifer matches. A captain, R.N., aged 58 years,
died from " coup de soleil (8 years), hemiplegia (1
year), hypertrophy of the heart." A pril ate
soldier killed himself by jumping from a window
of the Grenadier Guards' Hospital, and a corporal
of the Royal Artillery at Woolwich also committed
suicide by throwing himself from a window 45 feet
from the ground.
Last week the births of 809 boys and 827 girls,
in all 1636 children, were registered in London.
In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1850-
59 the average number was 1530.
METRQPOLITAN WATERS, JUNE 1860.

The waters used for domestic supply in London,
as analysed by Dr. Robert Dundas Thomson,
F.R.S., exhibit in the month of June a sensible
increase in the amount of organic matter washed
down from the agricultural districts by the con-
tinuous rains. Theircomposition affords a striking
contrast with that of water derived from mountain
ridges, as at Glasgow and Manchester, where the
organic matter has rather a tendency to diminish
during rain. The rain has favourably influenced
the sanitary condition of the river, by preventing
the usual stagnation of the sewage within the city
at this season of the year.

THE SUNDAY LAW IN NEW YORK.--TWO pro-
prietors of German theatres having, sturdily resisted the
law closing their establishments on the Sabbath, the case
of one of them was recently brought to trial in New York
before Judge Bonney. The plea of the defendant was the
unconstitutionality of the law. Judge Bonne .y fully sus-
tained it as valid, and fined the offender 20 d ,ouar,,
