the militia band further interrupted the noble lord's
speech by playing " The Conquering Hero.") The
hearty welcome with which you have received the
name of Mr. Ross, the champion of Great Britain,
shows how fully you appreciate the objects of the
National Rifle Association. 'We have wished •to
bring the country back to the state in which it was
in the time of the Plantagenets. We wish to make
it the familiar weapon of the British people; and w
believe that meetings such as this will infallibly
tend to this result. I hope you will give your sup
port to the National Rifle Association, because, im-
portant as the local association, .and important.as
are the associations which represent such- a .country
such as Scotland, still an association -which brings
into competition the riflemen of the two countries
must have more weight and a more lasting and
greater effect than any mere local association.
Let me now congratulate you on having come
forward and followed the example of the
National Rifle Association, and shown Scot-
land the example of establishing these great
meetings. I congratulate you, as I •do

will have an annual gathering here. Before pre-
senting the prizes, allow me to say two words more.
Besides what I have said, you must, in order to keep
up this movement, study the strictest economy in
the arrangements of your corps. Depend upon it
rythin g to
that, unless these corps are made self-supporting,
they do not stand ou a sound and stable basis; and,
although educating our youth, although rifle meet-
ings and competitions will do much—l believe more
than anything else,---to extend •the cause, gal 704-
must remember that it rests with yourselves—that
it rests with the volunteers of Great Britain—to
make it permanent. I am confident that the feeling
which led you to join the movement, that same love
of country will make you remain and learn to do
your duty steadily in the ranks, and that you will
adhere to what you have nobly begun with a dogged
determination to do your duty. (Loud applause.)

These gentlemen then shot off the ties, when Capt.
Moir won the cup, Dr. Irvine the second, and Mr.
Blackburn the third prizes. The winner shot with
Mr. Edward Ross's Whitworth rifle, the others with
a Lancaster and a Whitworth. " The Ladies'
Cross" was carried by Mr. John Gibb, Forfarshire,
who made 13 points out of six shots at 150 yards.
On Wednesday the great gathering took place,
when some 20,000 people, including a large number
of volunteers, invaded the burgh, as spectators or
competitors in the sport of the day. The prizes
contended for were the Counties Cup, for skir-
mishers, value £25, open to volunteer riflemen in
the neighbouring counties, won by Mr. Mills, For-
far ; the Mearns Gold Medal, won by Mr. William
Thomson, sth Kincardine Corps ; the Angus and
Mearns Cap, value £32, won by Sergeant Francis,
Dundee; the Ladies' Mearns Cross, won by Mr.
Brown, of the sth Kincardine; and the Montrose
Cup, value £25, open to all Scotch volunteers. This
latter prize was contested very keenly, the best
shots of the previous day, with the exception of Dr.
Irvine and Mr. Blackburn, being in the lists. The
distance was 400 yards (five shots) and 500 yards
(five shots). Capt. Macgregor, of the Leith Rifles.,
carried the prize, having made 15 points. Capt.
Moir, the champion of the former day, was unlucky,
having only put six upon the paper. During the
day there were Highland games contested under
the supervison of. Sir Charles Forbes, of Newe, as
umpire. The judges for the shooting on both days
were Lord Elcho, Col. Kinloch, and Capt. Horatio
ROss. At the distribution of the prizes in the
evening Lord Elcho made an eloquent speech in
regard to the volunteer movement. His lordship
was loudly cheered by the great multitude present.
A golf competition and a cricket match wound up
the proceedings on Thursday.
•Under the auspices of Air. Myles Lonsdale Formby,
of New Sampford-hall (late captain in the 6th
Dragoons),au effort is being made to form a mounted
corps in Essex. Mr. Formby urges that as guides,
scouts, escorts, &c., such a corps would be able to
render inestimable service. The uniform suggested
is a blue tunic, something like that worn by the
Horse Artillery, with a felt or velvet cap, brown
Bedford cords, and blaek boots. The arms it is
proposed should be a breech-loading Westley.
Richards' rifle and a light cavalry sword something
similar to the regulation one, but shorter and
lighter.
A notice has been issuedby the authority of Earl
Fitzwilliam, the Lord-Lieutenant of the West Rid-
ing of Yorkshire, stating that a review of the Vo-
lunteer corps of the Riding will take place at York
towards the end of September. A further commu-
nication is shortly expected, mentioning the day
on which the review will be held and giving full
instructions. It is not known who will be the re-
viewing officer, but the name of Major-General Sir
George Wetherell is mentioned.

THE FRENCH PRESS ON THE QUEEN'S

SPEECH.

The address delivered in Queen Victoria's name

at the close of the long session of the English
Parliament does not seem to have given much satis-
faction to the Paris journals, several of Which speak
of it in rather harsh terms. The part which ap-
pears to have given most offence is that relating to
Savoy and the independence of Switzerland, so
intimately connected with the annexation of that
province. The Sleds expresses itself in these
terms :—" With regard to Savoy the English
Ministry has not been very courteous. To recal,
with so much solemnity, the treaties of 1815, and
to present the situation as analogous to the one o!
that year, seems to us a piece of irony. Thank
heaven we are no longer at the period of our re-
verses. The enthusiasm which the annexation has
excited in Savoy and in the county of Nice is a
somewhat peremptory reply to the statesmen of
Great Britain. France, being substituted for Sar-
dinia, has net the intention to change anything
whatever in the position created for Switzerland by
the treaties which are now invoked. .It is time to
put an end to these recriminations, to which the
language placed in the mouth of Queen Victoria
Viill give a fresh aliment.
The Union uses the following language :—" Lord
Palmerston had previously given us very strong
proofs of his bad feeling towards us, but we never
remember his making use of such haughty expres-
sions as those which he has now caused the Queen
to employ. Another remark which our readers
will assuredly have made is, that the English
speech is silent—absolutely mute—on the victory
which has placed the peninsula of Chee-Foa in the
rossession of the French troops. This is not very
obliging on the part of our ally,"
The Patrie, without dwelling particularly on the
language of the speech, attacks Lord Palmerston
for his disapprobation of the Suez Canal project,
and makes use of the following observations :
Lord Palmerston, without even seeking to re-
novate his opposition by new arguments, declared,
as is usual with him, that the undertaking was im-
practicable. If the Suez. Canal is materially im-
possible, ' those who fear to see their interests
affected by its execution would not have to trouble
themselves about it.' This reply, which was given
in 1855 by the French Minister for Foreign Affairs
to a despatch of Loid Clarendon, has lost nothing
of its justness and suitableness. If the Suez Canal
is only a chimera, a dream, and an Utopian scheme,
why represent it as being of a nature to separate
Egypt from Turkey, and to attack the integrity of
the Ottoman Empire ? Why follow up such a
warm hatred against a project which is pronounced
beforehand as being impossible to be realised, and
periodically occupy the attention of the English
Parliament with it ? It is because it is a part of
the policy of Lord Palmerston to mislead public
opinion, and to propagate a belief in which he does
not take part. His lordship does not lose the op-
portunity of adding that the undertaking of the Suez
Canal is only a bubble, and that it cannot fail
to be fatal to all the capital engaged in it. But
since the English have kept themselves aloof from
this affair, whence proceeds this tender solicitude
for the financial interests of foreigners ?"
It may here be observed to our contemporary that
Lord Palmerston does not go out of his way to speak
harshly of the Suez Canal affair, but merely replies
in his place in Parliament to the questions which
are put to him by various members. When so
referred to he is bound to answer, and when so
answering cannot well refrain from repeating the
opinion which he has already given on the whole
scheme. All that Lord Palmerston does is to as;
sign his reasons for not supporting M. de Lessepa
views. The Patrie, however, attributes to his hick
ship the following reasons for the language
underv4ii""

LORD ELCRO ON THE VOLUNTEER
MOVEMENT.

At the distribution of a series of prizes in con-
nexion with a great volunteer gathering at Mon-
trose a day or two since, Lord Elcho spoke as fol-
lows on the progress of the volunteer movement.
He said—" I can assure you, and I say it most un-
feignedly, that it was with no small degree of sur-
prise that I found myself asked to present Scotland's
Cup at this great gathering. I have no local con•
nexion with Montrose ; it is the first time I have
had the pleasure of being in this pleasant part of
the country ; and I can assure you that I consider
it the highest compliment that could be paid to me
to be asked on this occasion to present Scotland's
Cup ; but I accepted it most heartily and willingly,
and undertook the task that had been proposed to
me. (sheers.) Now, ladies and gentlemen, on an
occasion such as this, taking as I do a very deep
interest in the volunteer movement, and springing
as this gathering does from this movement, to
which, I hope, as Lord Panmure has said in his
letter just read, that it will give a very great im-
petus, I would for one moment detain you while I
make a few remarks on this volunteer movement.
I think this is an occasion to say a few words,
though the subject has been ably touched upon,
because these rifle gatherings mark epochs in the
volunteer movement; they show how far it is
advanced, and I hope they are prophetic of how far
they will yet go. Some people, I know, are sur-
prised at the success whiell has attended this
volunteer movement. For my part, lam not sur-
prised at it, because it appealed to two of the
strongest feelings of one's nature ; it appealed to
one's sense of .public duty, and it appealed to our
love of country. (Cheers.) I think we may say,
without unduly flattering ourselves, that there is
no country in which a sense of duty is more
strongly felt, and where the love of country
burns more brightly than it does here, but
there is another reason why we have joined so
heartily in this volunteer movement, and that is
from a love of peace. (Hear, hear.) It is es-
sentially because we are the peaceful citizens of
a 'peace-loving country that we have assumed
this garb of war, and it is in the interest of peace
and for the sake of our hearths and homes that we
have handled and are endeavouring to learn the use
of the deadly weapon which the skill of the manu-
facturer has placed in your hands. (Hear, hear.)
Let us look for a moment to the position in which
we now stand compared to the position in which
England stood some time ago. We have now got
an army of 150,000 men who have in a few months
sprung up almost like the fabled army that sprang
from the dragon's teeth sown in the ground. It is
an army, allow me to say, of which any sovereign
might be proud, who saw the sights which our be-
loved Sovereign saw in Hyde-park, London, and in
the Queen's-park, Edinburgh. (Loud cheers.) I had
the good fortune to see both these reviews. I do
not pretend to draw any comparison between them
—no comparison is needed ; but I can tell you what
I told some gentlemen last night, that the general
officers who were there told me that with the men
they saw in the Queen's Park a few days ago they
would be prepared to go anywhere and do anything.
(Loud applause.) Now, ladies and gentlemen, with
such an army, there is no denying the fact that
England stands in a very different position from
what she did. The effect of the Crimean war, to a
certain extent, was to lead foreigners to believe that
we mismanaged our military matters, notwithstand-
ing the bravery shown by our soldiers beforee Sebastopol, while it needed to a certain extent ttltge, and
dread-
ful mutiny in India to restore our P
:iitereYr moveent. It

every man who comesofferwer
I believe it in my
movement—every man who
every unit
comes forward—has an influence on the great stage
that is added to this .
of European politics. Certain we may be that the
influence of this country will never be exerted but
for a good and wholesome purpose. It is for de-
fence, and not for defiance, as it has been said, that
we have taken up this movement ; and you may be
certain that England's voice will only be heard in
the interests of peace, and of well-ordered and rea-
sonable liberty. (Cheers.)
Well, gentlemen and
ladies, if this is the
state in which our country has
been placed, as I believe
teer movement, I think that the feeling which must
an;rnate every one who hears me is an earnest hope
that this movement may still go on—that it has
progressed slowly and steadily, as it has advanced
like a tide, so we will hope it will never recede like
a tide, but that it will become a permanent insti-
tution. It is not a movement meant to meet any
sudden danger. The people of this country wish
for all time to place themselves in a position that
they need never be deterred from their peaceful
occupations by any fears of danger from NN ithout.
How, then, is this to be effected ? There are two
great ways of giving permanence to the volunteer
movement. One is this (said Lord Elcho, taking
by the hand a little boy, a sop of Major Tailyour,
in his uniform as an honorary corporal in the Mon-
trose Rifles)—form cadet corps. Teach your boys
at school their drill. Train up your children so,
that when they become men—when they reach the
age of seventeen or eighteen—they will look for-
ward, as part of their social duty, to taking their
place in the volunteer ranks. (Cheers.) The other
means is by appealing to the spirit of rivalry and
competition, which is the characteristic of our coun-
trymen, and which is the soul and life of all our
r
sports. It is by the forming of associations such such
—it is by forming a great national association,

A letter from Beyrout, of August 16, from a
special correspondent of the Prase, who passed through
Egypt on his way to Syria, relates the following :—" The
Viceroy displays great energy in favour of the Christians.
Four ulemas of Cairo having preached in the Mehemet Ali
mosque the doctrine that the Christians ought to be exter-
minated, the Viceroy asked the governor, who came to
give himan account of the affair, what had become of the
guilty parties. On being told that they were in prison, his
highness replied, lam glad to hear it ; had it been other-
wise, you should go to prison yourself.' He then gave
orders that the four ulemas should be strangled, and they
were executed accordingly at once."
THE ROYAL CHARTER.—The public, and espe-
cially the friends of the 500 persons wrecked in the above
ship, will be sorry to learn that the Rev. Stephen Hughes,
the truly good clergyman of Llanallgs, has been confined
to his bed for many weeks, from a severe attack of rheu-
matic fever, brought on by continued exposure during the
inclement winter of the past year, in the dreary bay of
Moelfra. A correspondent who called to thank the worthy,
clergyman for his kind attentions to the wishes of the
widow of the lamented Dr. Hatch, the surgeon of the Royal
Charter, whose remains are interred at IJanallgs, heard it
with that regret which he feels will be participated in by a
sympathising public generally. He was informed that a
body—a female, with a wedding-ring on her finger—had
been recovered so recently as a month ago.
