VOLUNTEER CONTEST.—The second " Wemyss"
match of the London Scottish Rifles for 1867 took place on
Saturday last, against the St. George's corps, on the ranges
of the latter, at Wormwood Scrubs. The match was be-
tween ton officers, ten non-commissioned officers, and ten
privates of each regiment,
seven shots each, at 200, 500,
and 600 yards, and was won by the London Scottish with a
majority of 116 marks. The total scores were—London
Scottish, 1,316; and St. George's, 1,200. The day was
wet, and a strong head wind, with occasional gusts from
the left, rendered the shooting at times very difficult.
DUCHY OF LANCASTER. —The accounts of the
Duchy of Lancaster show that in the year 1866 the pay-
ment to the Keeper of her Majesty's Privy Purse was
£29,000, an increase of £3,090 over the payment of the
previous year. The rents received amounted to £30,856,
an increase of £4,500 over the receipt of 1865. This was
partly counterbalanced by a receipt of less by £3,000 from
wood isles and escheats; but, on the other side of the
account, the payment for the restoration of the Savoy
Chapel, which was £4,453 in 1865, was only £829 in 1866.
The salaries and other disbursements of an ordinary cha-
racter amounted to £13,211, not differing materially from
the charge in 1865. The chief receipt on the capital ac-
count was £4,481 from the corporation of Salford for the
purchase of the tolls of the markets and fairs of that
borough.
ACTS OF PARLIAMENT.—The number of Acts

QUEEN VICTORIA'S DESCENDANTS.—The birth of

four granddaughters. Tho Princess of Prussia has three
sons and a daughter, the Prince of Wales two sons and a
daughter, the Princess Louis of Hesse two daughters, and
the Princess Christian one son.
CANNING'S STATUE.—This statue, by Westma-
cott, in New Palace-yard, Westminster, will, in the course
