NEWARK

On Thursday, the 26th inst., a large meeting of
the.. magistrates and deputy-lieutenants of the
northern division of the county of Nottingham was
'held at Newark fur the purpose of taking prelimi-
nary steps for the formation of a volunteer rifle
corps in Nottinghamshire.

NVINCIIESTER.Mr
A very numerous and influential pi.blie meeting
was held at the Guildhall on Thursday at noon,
convened by the Mayor (Mr. W. Hutchinson), in
compliance with a numerously-signed requisition.
for the purpose of considering the desirability of
forming a rifle corps for the city and neighbour-
hood'. The hall was crowded with citizens, and the
Mayor was by the majority of the corporate body ;
also by Sir J. Buller:East, M.P., Mr. J. Bonham-
Carter, M.P., Colonel Norcott, C.B. (commandant
of the garrison), Colonel Nicol, Major Lowth, the
Rev, the Warden of Winchester College, the Rev.
Canon Jacob, and other local clergymen, Dr. Craw-
ford, and Messrs. G. W. Johnson, C. Wright, W.
Barrow Simonds, R. W. Simonds, W. Rawlins,
W. W. Bulpett, A. Lavie, J. Dear, H. Edwards, C.
Sherry, W. Moody, and W. Budden, and the prin-
cipal tradesmen of the city.
The MAYOR having opened the proceedings in a
brief speech, in the course of which he congratulated
the city on the respectability of the meeting, and
the loyalty and patriotism displayed by the in-
habitants generally in regard to the movement.
The first resolution, was proposed by Sir JAMES
EAST in an eloquent and effective speech. He spoke
in higliterms of the conduct of the English people
at the present moment, in evincing such a brave
determination to take their share in the military
defensive preparations which the state of the times
seemed to make a national necessity.
The resolution which was seconded by Colonel
NICOL, was as follows :
"That it is considered desirable to form a local rifle corps
for this city and neighbourhood." •
Colonel NORCOTT entered into a business-like
speech, giving some practical suggestions for the
information of the committee as to the best mode
of proceeding, the style of arm, equipment, and
uniform best calculated for the corps, and volun-
teered such assistance as he could give in perfecting
the undertaking.
The second .resolution was moved by Mr. J. B.
CARTER, M.P., and seconded by Mr. T. WATERS,
and was as follows :
"That a committee be formed to carry out the object of
the first resolution, and that the said committee do consist
of the following gentlemen, with power to add to their -
number :—Colonel Faunce, Colonel Nicol, Major Lowth,
Dr. Crawford, \V. B, Simonds, %V. W. Bulpett, G. W.
Johnson, E. Hayward, T. Waters, J. Dear, A. Lavie, R.
and W. Simonds, Esqs., and Messrs. Budden, Sherry,
Tanner, La Croix, Powell, and Morris."
The Rev. the WARDEN moved the third resolu-
tion in an eloquent and spirited address. He said
the clergy as well, if not more than any other class,
were bound to do all they could to forward this
national movement. He hoped the people of Eng-
land would stand together, and especially the
middle and well-to-do classes, in forming rifle
corps, and then, shoulder to shoulder and man to
man, act determinedly together, resolved never to
allow our blessed country to be polluted with the
tread of a victorious enemy. He would ask why
Louis Napoleon was paying so much attention' to
the creation of a large fleet, except it was for
aggressive purposes ? Napoleon was said to think
and feel that he was a man. of destiny, and that it
must be his fate to wipe out the stain that Waterloo
had fixed upon France, and that in doing so he
should lose his life in England. If Napoleon came
here on such an errand he (the Warden) thought
the latter idea would surely be fulfilled, but he
knew nothing about the former.
Canon JACC,II seconded the resolution. It was to
this effect

•
"That such persons as are desirous of joining the corps
be requested forthwith to communicate their names, ad-
dresses, and occupations to the committee."

The fourth resolution was moved by Mr. W.
BAIIROW SIMONDS and seconded by Major LOWTII,
as follows :

" That as soon as the committee shall have an approved
return of 50 names, the Lord-Lieutenant be communicated
with, and his directions obtained upon the formation of the
corps."

Dr. CRAWFORD proposed and Mr. J. CARTER
seconded the next resolution :

" It having been ascertained that the cost of the outfit of
each member, including rifle and uniform; will be about £6
10s., an annual subscription of £1 is proposed to defray the
expenses of the corps, and it is resolved that a subscription
list be forthwith opened at the several-banks in this city to
aid in the outfit and other expenses of such members as
may require it."

The Rev. G. A. SEYMOUR moved and Mr. W.
TANNER seconded the sixth resolution :

" That persons d,sirous of joining the volunteer corps
shall signify at the time of recording their names their in-
tention of finding their own outfit, or their inability to do
so."

Mr. Alderman POWELL moved and Mr. C.
SHERRY seconded—."
That Mr. Walter Bailey be requested to act as hon.
secretary to the committee."
The whole of the foregoing resolutions were seve-
rally put to the.meeting by the Mayor, and unani-
mously carried.

Sir J.
EAST then moved the thanks of the meet-
ing to the Mayor for his conduct in the chair, and
his worship having acknowledged the compliment,
the meeting then broke up. The whole - proceed-
ings were marked by the greatest enthusiasm, and
it is fully anticipated that a very numerous and
respectable list of volunteers will be obtained in a
very short space of time.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—ThorIey's Food for Cattle is now
beginning to seriously attract the attention of the farmer,
Lreeder, and feeder of stock. Two years of unremitting
care and attention have enabled its inventor to take high
ground as a benefactor to these interests ; and notwithstand-
' lng the many drawbacks, the malevolent shafts hurled
against it and its probable utility, the food, from its admitted
value, will become a necessity to the agricultural interest.l

ral use in preference to any other of the usual articles of
food; it is, however, much questioned whether wheat is a
nourishing and proper food for the working horse, certainly
it is not for cows or pigs. Mr. Thorley's Food, besides
possessing the advantage of greatly invigorating the health
and increasing the physical power of all animals, is a tonic
and gentle stimulant, and when mixed with their other
food, materially assists their digestive powers—a matter of
great consequence, since it is an undoubted fact that the
nourishment contained in their ordinary food is lost, con se-
quent upon the impaired or defective action of the digest lve
organs ; it will also be found to be particularly beneficial
in restoring to good working condition horses which Lave
been over-worked, or become weak from disease, or are
naturally of a feeble constitution. In cows its effects are
undoubted; indeed almost marvellous, nearly doubling the
yield of milk and butter, whilst it at the same time enriches
the quality of both. In pigs its fattening qualities are 1 ;till
more remarkable, displaying in a few weeks its man ifest
