prepared for them on both sides the arch, and only
a few of the circular niches yet remain to be filled
up, when the memorial will be entirely completed.
It is not yet 'decided whether any military cere-
mony will take place on the occasion of the inangu_
ration of the Memorial Arch, but there is little
doubt that some public display will be resolve&
upon by the authorities, this being the first,memo-;
real of the kind raised in this country. ~
The head quarters of the Antrim Artillery arrived
1 at Pembroke Dock on Wednesday evening last,
under command of Lieut.-Col. Viscount Massereeuet
and Ferrard, to replace the Hampshire Artillery.
They consisted of 13 officers and 323 men, and on
Thursday morning the detachment that had been
quartered in Tilbury Fort, consisting of five officers
and 174 men, arrived. They are a very fine body,
of men, and
~near some 600 of all ranks on their'
muster-roll. f; One company is quartered in Pater
Battery, and -about 300 men in the defensible Bar-
racks. Detachments went down by steamer on
Thursday morning, to be stationed at the Dale•
Forts and West Block-house at the mouth of Mil-
ford Haven. That at the former consists of two
Hannay, with Second Li
officers and 79 men, undereucto.mßmlakaned oasf Csaupbta.lEte.rAia ;
and that at the latter of 42 men, under Lieut. J.

TILE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT.

The 37th Middlesex " G. G. B." (Bloomsbury)
Rifle Corps has lately received an' accession to its
numbers by the entrance of an entire company
from the establishment of Messrs. Feetham and. Co.,
of Oxford-street, and will probably-be furthor
creased by a considerable number from another
large establishment. A Volunteer band ie now, in
rapid course of formation. The enrolled member
have for a long time past been engaged in target-
practice—though they cannot as yet obtain butts
of their own—both at long and short ranges, and
are very shortly to show their capabilities by
shooting for a gold challenge medal and two silver
pedals. The corps 4s about to be inspee,tlKl by
1. M‘Murdo, with the administrative battalion, of
which the 20th and 29th Middlesex form the remain-
ing part.
The review of the Artillery and Rifle Volunteer
Corps of Hampshire is appointed to take place at
Winchester on the 24th inst. The reviewing officer
will be Major-General Lord W. Paulett, C. 8., com-
manding the south-western district.
A general muster hi the officers and Volunteers of
the Chatham Rifle Corps took place at the head-
quarters of the company on Thursday evening last,
for the purpose of witnessing the presentation of a
silver cup to Corporal Burfield, given by the officers
of the corps as a prize for the best rifle-shooting. A
number of ladies, together with several of the clergy
and gentry of the town, were present to witness the
proceedings. The corps having been formed into
three sides of a square, Captain Brock, the officer in
command, addressed the Volunteers, complimenting
them on the great skill which had been displayed
by several of the members of the corps in firing for
the prize, and he said he had no doubt that next
year the names of manyof them wonld figure in the
Est of competitors at the National Rifle Association.
There had been 41 competitors for the prize, 13 of
whom were pronounced exceedingly good. At 304
yards Corporal Burfield made 34 points in 20 rounds,
and.thus carried off the prize, which Captain Brock
handed him amid the cheers of the assembled spec-
tators. The officers have announced prizes of' two
silver cups to be competed for next year.
The Cranbrook Company of the Kent Rifle Vo-
lunteers have been presented with a silver bugle by
Mrs. Tooth. The presentation took place in Swift's
Park, whither the company, accompanied by the
remainder of the 2d Kent battalion, were marched,
and were put through a number of movements by
their adjutant, Capt. Ruston, which were performed
in a very creditable manner. After the bugle had
been presented the whole of the Volunteers present
piled arms, and were bountifully supplied with re-
freshments by Mr. Tooth, the band of the Weald of
Kent Volunteers attending on the occasion.
A highly successful movement has been made in
Canterbury in the establishment of a cadet company
among the youths of that city, Mr. G. H. Curtess,
an inhabitant, having at his own expense erected a
capacious covered building to carry out the project.
As soon as the building was completed Mr. Curtess
engaged a competent drill instructor, and invited a
few boys to assemble for drill. About 20 accepted
the invitation, and en the next meeting night the
number was increased to 70, and at the present time
120 lads, with consent of their parents, are being
taught the manual, platoon, and sword exercises.
The members of the North Craven (West York-
shire) Rifle Corps had a shooting match for a silver
cup, value £2O, at Attermire range, near Settle, on
Saturday last. The cup was the gift of Mr. J. W.
Ferrer, oflngleborough-house, Clapham, near Settle.
The shooting was by the long Enfield rifle at four
distances, viz,, 650, 700, 800, and 900 yards, and
the cup was won by Lieut. Ingleby, who scored 13.
Sergeant Clapham, who was second, scored 11.

INCOMES OF ARCHDEACONS.

A return has been published, which was moved
for in the House of Commons by Mr. Hadfield,
stating the incomes of archdeacons. They are en-
titled by immemorial custom to certain small fees
from the parishes, churchwardens, and incumbents,
the payments from the parishes ranging between 1s;
and lls. a-piece on each visitation -fees are paid by
the incumbents, which are supposed to bean ancient
composition in lies of entertaining the visitor and
his retinue. But these fees are quite inadequate..
Two archdeacons return the amount as barely pay-•
ing their travelling and other expenses; and now
a residentiary canonry is annexed to the archdea-
conry in some cases, and in others the Ecclesiastical
Commissioners make up the income to £2OO a-year.
The result, however, is a great variety in the rate
of payment. Archdeacon Thorp, of Durham, has,
and had before his promotion to the archdeaconry.
a cathedral canonry, which brings him in £3,613
a-year, and which canonry he describes as "the
.
future endowment of the archdeaconry by sPPeI9I
act of Parliament ;" Archdeacon Thorp,
has to state that his office, which was created
1836, " was to have been endowed with a. can
-
eery in the cathedral city, but the expectation
of Bristol,
.rt
has not been fulfilled ;" but after
office for ten years with an income
the Commissioners agreed to
future. The Archdeacon of Lindisfarne, unlike his
colleague £l3O to it in b
e averaging £5O

that the office of hd arc eacon is a sinecure. The
Archdeacon of Worcester mentions in his return
that he has to visit upon an average 100 parishes
every year; the Archdeacon of Northampton states
that he visits every parish in the archdeaconry
once every four years ; the Archdeacon of Carmar-
then, that 130 churches require his personal inspec-
tion, and the last two years he travelled between
1,100 and 1,200 miles.

THE BISHOP OF WORCESTER,--We are sorry to,
announce that the health of the Bishop of Worcester is
such as to give much uneasiness to his family. The vener-
able diocesan has for some time past been in a -cleolinm:
ing state of health, and his advanced age—he is in •"•"'
77th year—gives little hope of his permanent rocoverY°
Prayers were offered in all the churches of the diocese on
Sunday last in his behalf. The Bishop wan oonsecrate;l
Bishop of Sodor and Man in 1840, and was 'translated .°
Worcester in the following year, so that he has been nearly
twenty years head of the diocese of Worcrer,ter.
