NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

The following general order relating to the regu-
lations for volunteering from the Militia regiments
to the regiments of the Line has been issued from
the Horse Guards by command of his Royal High-
ness the General Commanding-in-Chief :--
" 1. The restriction of the volunteering to men who
have attended one training, or who have been three
months in the Militia, is dispensed with.
" 2. A. sum of 10s. in cash, instead of 3s. 63. as here-
tofore, is to be handed to each volunteer on attestation,
and the balance of his bounty—viz , 305., is to be paid
to him, without deduction, on joining his new corps.
The enlisting shilling, the 10a. bounty, and the money
required for fees for the magistrates' clerk, are, in con-
formity to clause 8 of the War-office ' Volunteering
Instructions,' dated December last, to be drawn from
the Militia paymasters by the officers of the recruiting
service who are called upon to enlist the volunteers.
" 3. V. lunteers from the Cavalry and Rifle Corps, if
of the prescribed standard and in all other respects fit
for the service, are not to be rejected on account of not
measuring 34 inches round the chest.—By command,
" G. A. WETHERALL, Adjutant.-General.

Captain R. H. Travers, 24th Regiment, has
been appointed Acting Instructor of Musketry to

We are informed that 235 men of the Royal
North Lincoln Militia, under tae command of
Lieutenant-Colonel R. Ellison, have volunteered
for the regular asmy, of whom 78 men have been
finally passed to their new corps, chiefly the 60th
Rifles, Rifle Brigade, and Royal Maiines. An
inquiry was instituted as to the great proportion
of rejections, and in future the medical examina-
tion will be less strict ; but the fact that the men
selected picked corps, above the common standard
in height or circumference of chest, in part accounts
for it also.

The number of recruits enlisted during the last
four months in the northern district, of which Bel-
fast isthe head-quarters, was as follows :—Sept. 221;
Oct., 229 ; Nov., 395 ; Dec., 253 ; total, 1,Q98, or
an average per month of 274. In the part of this
month which has elapsed the recruiting parties have
been equally successful.

Admiral Sir G. Seymour, K. C. 8., Commander-
in-Chief at Portsmouth, struck his flag on board

inspected at noon on Southsea-common by the
senior officer left in the garrison. The Govern-
ment-house will be brilliantly illuminated, and the
mayor has given 200 or more tickers to the poor for
coals, and recommended the inhabitants to make the
day a holiday. Gosport, Fareham, Ryde, New-
port, Havant, and other contiguous places have
given out announcements of doing honour to the
day with befitting
spirit ; the poor are to be con-
sidered most generously, the public functionaries
will meet and dine together, balls and other parties
take place at night, and illuminations will be nu-
merous and handsome,

THE A3IE.RICAN HO.R2E-TAMER.

On Saturday Mr. Rarey, an American, now on
a visit to this country, whose skill in taming the
horse and completely subjecting him, however
wild, vicious or intractable, to his will and mastery
is beginning to attract public attention was afforded
au opportunity of exhibiting his peculiar powers in
this capacity before the Queen, the Prince Consort,
the Princess Royal, Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred,
and other members of the Royal family, with the
ladies of the Court and most of the foreign Princes
and distinguished visitors now in London, includ-
ing Prince Frederick William of Prussia, the
Prince of Prussia, Prince Frederick Charles of
Prussia, Prince Albert of Prussia, Prince Adalbert
of Prussia, Prince Hohenzollern Sigmaringen, the
Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, th Duke of Bra-
bant, the Count of Flanders, Prince William of
Baden, Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, and Prince
Julius of Holstein Glucksburg. The performances
of Mr. Rarey, which were of great interest, and
elicited the amazement of all who witnessed them,
took place in the Riding-school attached to the
Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace. The Duke
of Wellington, Major-General Sir R. Airey, Lord
A. Paget, Clerk Marshal; Col. Hood, Clerk Mar-
shal to the Prince Consort; and Major Groves,
Crown Equerry, were also present. This was the
second occasion on which Mr. Rarey had had the hon-
our of exhibiting his skill before her Majesty and
Prince Albert. The first was at Windsor, a week er
ten days ago, when the feats of the horse-tamer,
seen by them under the influence of novelty, occa-
sioned so high a degree of interest andastouishmeut
to the Royal- party as to lead to a wish on the part
of the Queen and the Prince Consort to have the
exhibition repeated. On that occasion the subjects
on which Mr. Rarey operated were three in number.
One was a fine spirited black horse, of high nervous
temperament, which had been returned to Mr. An-
derson, of Piccadilly, of whom be had been bought
for a large sum of money,ion the grovnd of his being
restiff and all but unmanageable. This animal, it
is but right to say, had been seen and handled by
Mr. Rarey, at Mr. Anderson's stables, previous to
his being taken to Windsor. At the first interview
with the horse in Piccadilly he was placed in a loose
box, which Mr. Rarey entered, cracking a whip.
Startled by this unusual exhibition of violence,
the animal struck out with both Ins hind legs, and
uttered a kind of savage yell. The company who
had assembled to witness the experiment were
then asked to withdraw, and Mr. Rarey was; left
alone with the horse. On being called in again in
less than a quarter of an hour, they were amazed
to find the animal prostrate ou his side among the
straw in the stall, with his head slightly raised, and
Mr. Rarey, whom he was eyeing without the least
symptom of alarm, lying beside him. Mr. R iray
remained with him in this position for some time,
during which he knocked the horse's fore and hind
hoofs together, made a pillow of his thighs, and
finally got up and ran a heavy wheelbarrow up to
and around the still prostrate creature, without pro-
ducing iu him the slightest sensation of fear. On a
subsequent day, in the presence of another company,
the mastery of Mr. Rarey over this same horse,
which he had seen in the interval, had become
so complete that when laid ou his side in a
loose box a plank was placed against his shoulder
in sight of the horse and a barrow run up
it. He never moved. A drum was also beaten
on his back, and an umbrella opened in his
very face ; but he remained stock still, and
evinced no sign of apprehension. The same
horse was afterwards put through a course of
similar treatment at Windsor before the Queen.
The next subject on which Mr. Rarey experi-
mentei before the Court on that occasion was a
young unbroken colt, brought from a farm of Prince
Albert in the vicinity, which had neverbeen handled
in any way, and which Mr. Rarey had never before
seen. This colt was led in' o the riding-school at
Windsor in a halter, and left alone with the horse-
tamer, who intimated a wish that the company
should retire for a few minutes to the further end
of the building. This request, it ought to be stated,
was not dictated by any feeling on his part that
the treatment to which he was about to subject the
animal was of a kind which the spectators would
not witness without emotion or pain, but simply
because, for the present, and for purposes of his
own, dr. Rarey wishes to preserve his own secret.
After a lapse of about a quarter of an hour the
Royal party were summoned to return, and then
they saw as in the former case this wild colt lying.
on the ground, and the horse tamer by his side,
who sat upon him and handled his legs, feet,
and every other part by turns—a process during
which the creature remained wholly passive.

After Mr. Rarey had parted with the colt a
handsome bay charger, belonging to the Prince Con-
sort, was brought to him in the riding school. This
horse, one of high spirit, which has always shown
great restlessness while being mounted and a con-
stant tendency to take fright would, it was thought,
almost defy Mr. Rarey's attempts to tame him ;
but the result was as successful as in each of the
previous inst Ances. In a short time the horse-tamer
had him down also, as submissive as all the rest,
and was seen crawling am )ng his legs, sitting upon
his shoulders and hips, and knocking his hoofs to-
gether. Then, bidding ►he horse rise, which lie did
instantly, Mr. Rarey jumped upon his back and
held by turns an umbrella over his head, and beat

a tat-Coo on a drum, the hitherto proud, restless
animal, now owning subjection to a new master,
remaining the while almost as mutio nlessas a statue.
All this, of course, made a great impression on the
spectators, but among some of them a question
naturally arose whether Mr. Rarey's treatment was
capable of being communicated to others and prac-
teed by them with equal success, or whether it
was a thing peculiar to himself, for in the latter
case the public benefit to accrue from it would be
comparatively limited. It is said that Sdllivan,
the horse-whisperer, as he was designated, from the
extraordinary power he acquired over the animal,
either could not or would not inapart his secret to
any one, and the inference among hot semen has
long been that it was incommunicable.
To show that Mr. Rarey's power is not a thing
personal to himself, he has since his exhibition of
it at Windsor communicated the se ret of it to
Major-General Sir Richard Airey, Lord Alfred
Paget, and Col. Hood, under the most stringent
obligations, of course, that they will not disclose it
to others ; and Lord Alfred Paget, who is now as
much a horse-tamer as Mr. Rarey, on Saturday
gave a e iccessfulexemplificationof his skill before her
Majesty, the Prince Consort, and their august visi-
tors, taking for his subject a beautiful dapple gray
pony belonging to the Prince of Wales. Lord Alfred
was left alone with the pay for a fe w minutes in the
riding-school, and on admission of the Royal party it
was prostrate on the ground with his lordship
sitting, caressing it, handl ng its feet and legs,
resting on its haunches, and in all respects treating
it in a manner proving its complete subjection to
him. That over, Ma, Rarey appeared with the
black horse from Anderson's in Piccadilly, to which
reference has been made, and his mastery over
which he showed in a variety of ways. Placing
himself at one end of the riding school, he called
to the animal, which he had left at the other, and
it immediately cantered towards him in a play ful
manner. It lay down at his bidding, or followed
him like a dog round the building. When down,
a plank was laid upon its shoulder, up which Lord
Alfred Paget ran a wheelbarrow. Finally, when
the hove had regained his legs, he was mounted
by Mr. Rarey, who sat on the animal's crupper with
his back to the head, beating a drum and cracking
a whip over him, this treatment resulting in
neither motion nor fear on the part of the horse.
One of the fine stud of cream-coloured horses
belonging to tier Majesty was next subjected to
the manipulation of Mr. Rarey, with an equally
successful and surprising result, so far as laying the
animal, which is an entire horse, down was con-
cerned, and handling him all over with the most
perfect freedom, the horse-tamer not deeming it
desirable, on so short an acquaintance, to carry
the familiarity to the extent of opening an umbrella
in his face, or cracking a whip, or beating a drum
over him. Besides the frequent display of some
vicious propensities, this particular animal of late
has never permitted any one to ride him ; but he
allowed Mr. Rarey to mount him without offering
the least resistance With this the exhibition ter-
minated, and the Queen and her illustrious visitors,
by whom it was witnessed with the most evident
tokens of interest and wonder, took their departure.
It ought to be stated that Sir Richard Airey,
Lord Alfred Paget, and Col. Hood, to eaoh of whom
Mr. Rarey has communicated his secret, are under-
stood to declare that there is nothing in the treat-
ment in the smallest degrea painful or improper
towards the horse subjected to it, or which would
offend the susceptibilities of a bystander sensitively
alive to anything partaking in the least of cruelty
to a dumb animal. They also assert that it consists
of uo trickery of any description, nor of the use of
any drug, or mesmeric pr other similar influence
whatever. Mr. Rarey's theory is that hitherto all
our treatment of this noble animal—at least, in the
preliminary stages o' breaking, and so forth—has
proceeded on ideas of his nature altogether errone-
ous and cruel, has been invariably characterised by
unnecessary violence, which has provoked the dis-
play of resistance and other kindred qualities onliis
part, and so the evil has been perpetuated. The
principle on which Mr. Rarey goes, on the ot6r
hand, is one of extreme kindness and tenderness to-
wards the animal, the ()Eject being to convince hiin
that man is his natural master and friend, and to
elicit his confidence and kindly regard. Mr. Rarey
appeals to what he calls "the intellect and affec-
tions of the horse," and states that, this is the secret
of all his success. He is a slightly made man about
30 years of age, the son of a stock farmer and
breeder of horses, who lived in Franklin county

in the State of Ohio, and is himself engaged in
a similar occupation at a place called Groveport,
about ten miles from Colombo, the capital of that
State. From boyhood he is stated to have exhi-
bited an intense fondness for horses and a remark-
able aptitude for breaking and training them after
the old fashiou, until he discovered this more
humane system of treatment, which he has since
practised with the greatest success in his native
State. The subjects on which he has operated have
been in many cases horses reclaimed iu a perfectly
-wild condition from the American prairies, and in
the course of his experience he has had one arm and
both legs broken. He is accompanied to this coun-
try by Mr. R. A. Goodenough, a gentleman of long
standing and respectability as a merchant and ama-
teur breeder of horses in the city of Toronto, who
brings letters of recommendation to the Govern-
ment from Sir Edmund Head, Governor-General
of Canada, and Lieutenant General Sir W. Eyre,
Commander-in-Chief of the Forces in Canada. We
believe that Sir Richard Airey and Lord A. Paget
have been requested to inquire into and report
upon the system of treatment adopted by Mr.
Rarey in the interest of the Government.

GREAT THURNEYSSEN BANKRUPTCY.

The following is the judgment of the Imperial
Court of Paris in the great Thurneyssen bank-
ruptcy --

"The Court, considering that by a duly executed deed
cf the 29th of Dec., 1846, a company in a collective
name was formed between Auguste and Charles Thur -
neyssen and that according to this deed, enregistered
and published conformably to the prescriptions of the
commercial law, the community of interest was to finish
on the 31st of December, 1851 ;
" Considering that it is proved :-1, that in the early
part of 1848 the company were compelled to make an
arrangement with its creditors ; 2, that Auguste Thur-
neyssen quitted Paris at the commencement of 1849 and
entered into the house of Steightz, of St. Petersburg ;
3, that by a circular of the Ist of May of tut year,
dated from St. Petersburg, the commercial world was
informed that Charles Thurneyssen would henceforth
have the direction of the company, and that he was,
moreover, charged to wind it up ; 4, that another
circular of the 15th 'of October of the came year
made known to the public that the house of If onurg,
of Paris, would continue the business of the Com-
pany Thurneyssen; 5, that" Auguste Thurneyss
giant from Russia considerable awns, the fruit of his
labours in the house of Steiglitz, to pay the creditors of
the company ;
"Considering that after the expiration of the company
a new convention was entered into on Jan. 25, 1852,
between Auguste and Charles Tourneys-en ; that ac-
cording to the deed duly executed to that t ff.4et a part
ner.,ltip was formed bet weeu the parties for five years ;
that it was therein stipulated that Auguste Thurneyssen
sh.,ulti be t,itrip.y a commanditaire ; that his part should
consist in the capital which ht, had engaged in the pre
c,ditig company, that the pr.fit and loss should be equal.y
divided, without however the 1 ois on the part of Auguste
Thurneyssen exceeding his commandite; that it was
stipulated in the .-acne deed that the liquidation of the
di,solved company should be made by Charles Thur-
neyssen ;

" Considering that in order to set aside the qualifica-
tion and the legal consequence of that deed the assienees
oppose :-1, that it is nether serious nor bona fide ; 2,
that not having made it public, and the deposit of the
commanditaire not being determined, it was a collective
and jointly responsible company that was formed ; 3,
that it is proved by the books and documents collected
in the interest of the mass that the greater part of the
credits inscribed in the balance-sheet of Charles Tour-
neyssen, and the misapplications which have iaspove
rished the assets, date back to the company, 1846, ani
that it is therefore legal, just, and necessary to extend
to Auguste Thurneyssen the declaration of bankruptcy
pronounced against his partner ;
"Considering, on the first plea, that the assignees
cannot divide the deed which serves as the foundation of
the pretension which they put forward tbat in establish-
ing that the convention had only the semblance of being
en commandite, and that in the intention of the parties,
it had for ()fleet, by facilitating the clandestine contiiiu-
ation of the company of 1846, to withdraw Auguste
Thurneyssen from the obligation's which the desperate
state of the affairs of that company imposed on him ;
" Considering that this condition is not fulfilled ; that
on the contrary, it results from the documents, facts, and
circumstances of the trial that the company of 1852 was
formed seriously and bona fide, and that it had been
most fairly carried into execution ;
" Gonsideri g, in fact, that it is proved on the one
hand that Charles Thurneyssen has alone managed the
common affairs ; that be al,ne has been in relation with
third parties and has treated with them—that all the
engagements were signed in his individual name—that
the accounts kept iu conformity with the convention
establish a complete separation between the liquidation
of the company of 1846, confided to Charles Thurneys-
sen, and the operations of the new company, of which
he was the manager ; that it is also proved, on the other
hand, that Augusta Thurneyssen signed the deed in dis-
pute at St. Petersburg ; that he remained there until
1854, attached to the house of Steiglita ; that he never,
when either near or at a distance, was occupied with the
management, and that he entered into no engagement,
either direct or indirect, with any one whatever; that in
his correspondence he has always separated his condi-
tion from that of Charles Thurneysseo, a circumstance
calculated to strike theatten ion of third parties, because.
no to the period of his departure for Russia, Auguste
Thurneysseu had had the principal direction in the
affairs of his house ; that, in short, it is not dilmt, d
that, lull of confidence in the fortune and good faig.h of
his nephew, Auguste Thurneyssen never ceased to send
to him all the profits of Lis labours with the house of
Steig litz ;
`.` Considering that the letter written on the 28th of
February, 1853, to Count de Krasinski, far from mili-
tating against the declarations of the deed, serves to
confirm them ;
"Considering, in fact, that if Auguste Thurneyssen
therein speaks of the sffairs.of Charles Thurneyssen as
01 his own, which is to coeforinity with the truth, since
in whatever character hefiguied in the company of 1852,
whether asa jolt tlyreeponsiblepartner or the person who
supplied the funds, tuere exacted between him at d Chas.
Thurneyssen a cernmuuity of interest, it is alter having
expressly declared that, pessimist as he is, he sees with-
out mieasioess the remnants of his patrimony engaged in
the house of his nephew—a declaration irreconcileable
with the idea of a colleetive company.
" Considering that on the second plea-1, that Article
42 of the Commercial Code does not attach to the non-
observance of the formalities of publicity any other con-
sequence thanstne nullity of the deed with regard to the
parties interested ; that the convention does not the less
subsist for the past between the coutracting' parties, and
remains as it was when they gave their consent to it ;
that as far as regards third parties the default of for eal:ties
cannot be brought forward with reel.), 0 to them by t
partners, but that no rule of law auth,,rises them when
they produce a deed liable to be declared null to divine
it ; to substitute for the stipulations it contains others of
a differant kind gaud I making subordinate to a defect in
form the effect of the convention of the company, with
whatever sincerity it may have been made and executed,
to extend to all the partners personal, direct, and lode-
fiuite respousitelity, when towards some of them it con-
fines itself to a determinate portion of their patrimony ;
" Considering, 2, that Auguste Thurneyssen, in stipu-
lating in the deed of 1852 that the money he was to bring
into the concern should be formed of the capital which he
had engaged in the coinpaay which had expired, has
sufficiently determined the sum which he brought into
the new company ; that the material operation of the,
said acc-nnt was sufficient to fix the amount, and that
thus the intention of the commercial law was fulfilled.
" Considering, on the third plea, that if, as is alleged,
the credits inscribed iu the balance-sheet drawn up by
the assignees arise in a great measure from the company
of 1846, and that it is necessary to carry back to the time
when it existed the misapplications of mousy imputed to
Charles Thurneysseu, the only indication to bedrawn from
these facts is davit the creditors of the company of 1846,
not paid or despoiled by Charles Thurneysseu, have
aga nst Auguste Thurneyssen, who was the manager, a
jointly rsepobsible action, and that they may exercise it to
its fullest extent, as the responsibility of the debtor
could not have been modified by the conveut.on of 1352;
that it would be contrary to all notions of law and
equity that, on account of an unsettled liabili;y in a
former company, a partner should be involved in the
declaratian of bankruptcy caused by the insolvency of
the Company which succeeded it, when from the nature
