THE NATIONAL ARTILLERY
ASSOCIATION.

The proceedings of the week at Shoeburyness were
brought very near their termination on Friday by the
firing for the consolation prizes, and the presentation of
the cups and purses. The moving target shooting had
been finished on the previous evening, but unfortunately
nobody was able to hit the target—a result hardly to
be wondered at, seeing that the gunners had had only
two days' practice with the Armstrong. The con,
solation practice began early on Friday morning,
and was continued during the day. The presentatiog
of prizes commenced shortly after three o'clock in the
drill-hall of the School of Musketry, which had been deco
rated with guns, bayonets, and trophies for the occasion,
The attendance, differing from that of previous days, was
considerable, including the Earl and Countess Spencer,
the Earl of Longford, Lord Hardinge, Colonel Wilmot,
Colonel Curtis, Colonel Harcourt, and several other
artillery officers both of the royal and volunteer
services, with a large assemblage of the elite of the
neighbourhood. The prizes, which, except the money
awards, consisted of silver cups of tasteful design,
glittered imposingly on a table at the back of the plat
form, in the front of which Lady Spencer stood and pra,
sented the prizes. The business was opened by Colonel
Harcourt, who, having remarked on the improved
prospects of the association, called upon the Earl ot
Longford to take the chair, which his lordship did
amid much cheering. When doing so he complimented
the volunteers warmly on the discipline they had
preserved in camp, and the rigour with which they
had conformed to the regulitions which had beer
laid down for their guidance, and which he could assure
them had been framed according to the strictest milli:lr,
rule. Of the practice he should not speak decidedly unti:
the revised scores had come before him in his oflleia:
capacity, but this much he already could say, nal
with the Armstrong guns the men had worked
exceedingly well, although the wind had affected tilde
practice at the long range of 2,000 yards. Their hadsuccess
at the running target need not discourage them, as he
could assure them that in the Royal Artillery it war
considered very good, after three years' practice, tc
hit the target twice in ten shots. Sir James Baird fol
lowed, and the assemblage was subsequently addressed b 3
several speakers; amongst others Earl Spencer, who dwelt
upon the importance of the artillery as an arm of the
volunteer force, and the inducement that therefore existed
for supporting the Artillery Association. His lordshiy
glanced slightly at the unfavourable reaction whicl
had recently taken place in public opinion respect
ing the volunteers generally, in consequence of the
occurrences which had taken place at Windsor, and
expressed his opinion that the censures which had beer
published against the volunteers for their conduct on that
occasion were very much exaggerated. Speeches of i
similar character were then delivered by Colonel Wilmot,
Lord Hardinge, and one or two others of the platform
guests, after which Lady Spencer delivered the prizes to
the several winners with much grace and amid genera:
cheering.

The Constitution states that on the island of
Valentia upwards of sixty persons, many of whom are
young and intelligent, have abandoned the Protestant
Church to enter the Catholic fold. Valentia is, we believe
one of the favoured spots which the Irish Church Mis

statement of our contemporary it would appear that, st
far from making converts, the zealous missionaries havi
succeeded in alienating the Protestant population.—Cori

The very homely but necessary consideration of
how to provision our households has of late occu-
pied a prominent position among social problems.
The high prices of every kind of necessary, most
especially of bread and meat, have rendered the
weekly bills a formidable trouble to all ordinary
householders, and the annoyance of paying about
double the amount formerly required has been
enhanced by the mortification of knowing that
a good share of the extra money goes
into the pockets of the shopkeepers. No one be-
grudges the retail dealer a fair profit, but it has
become painfully evident that his profits are some-
thing more than fair. Hitherto there has been
little practical remedy for the grievance. Wealthy
men at the head of large establishments could in-
deed go to the large markets Citywards and give
wholesale orders, but the great majority of the
non-shopping community, the hard-working,
professional classes, to whom time is money,
and whose housekeeping is on a very extensive
scale, have been completely at the mercy of the
retail dealers in their immediate vicinity. 'lhe dis-
tance of all the great markets from most of the
suburban districts have rendered it virtually im-
poz..sible for them to become the direct sources of
supply to the outskirts of the metropolis, yet where
there is little or no competition we know that high
pric_s are inevitable. The populous suburbs to
the north of London are therefore greatly indebted
to the energy and enterprise of the public-spirited
individuals who set on foot the project of the mar-
ket at King's Cross. Formally opened yesterday,
it was visited by numbers anxious to ascertain its
style and character, and it will inaugurate, we
hope. a new and more effectual system of provi-
sioning the metropolis. The market is most fortu-
nately situated with regard to the great railway
lines, and holds the key of the communications all
over the kingdom. Opening on the St. Pancras-
road, it has on one side of it the new station of the
Midland Railway, and on the other the Great Nor-
thern Terminus. The new line of the Great Midland
caries the traveller right up the north-west of Lon-
don, and affords a cheap and ready mode of
access to the populous districts lying at the
foot of Highgate and Hampstead hills.
The Underground Railway, again, is in close
vicinity, so that with the aid of the three lines of
railway, north and south, east and west, in fact all
the points of the compass are in direct communica-
tion with the market. The proximity of the rail-
way lines is highly important in another point of
view. They will bring the supplies to the market
from the north of England, and make a valuable
addition to its mercantile advantages. The Great
Northern Railway will bring fish from the north-
eastern ports to King's-cross at an interval of a
few hours. Yesterday the market was inaugurated
by the public sale of a pad of fish, brought by the
Great Northern from Hull in the afternoon, after
being alive in the sea that morning. This will
make the new market another Billingsgate
without the drawbacks of the old fish
market, and the saving in the transit and other
ways will enable the dealers to sell it even
cheaper at King's-cross. At first there was some
opposition on the part of the old dealers, but they
were not long in perceiving the advantages it
offered them. It is estimated that one-third of the
whole of the fish sent to Billingsgate pass by
King's-cross, en route, and as the stoppage at the
earlier station is estimated at no less than 2d. per
cent., it is evident that there can be no loss to the
dealer. But the great advantage which the stall
holders at the new market have has yet to be men-
tioned. It is entirely free from all rates, dues, and
taxes whatever. The rent of the stall is in itself
extremely moderate, but would be moderate if it
were as much again, for it comprehends every
charge except gas, which of course forms a senarate
account. The dealers in Covent Garden have long
grumbled, not without reeason, at the buidensome
tolls, while at all other markets some charges
are levied in one form or another on the dealers.
The conveniences are very great, the stalls being
open to the roof, and each 10 feet deep and 14
wide. The rent of them is only 14s. a week, and
there are 86, all of which are already let. The
market occupies about double the area of Billings-
gate, standing on an area and a quarter of ground.
It is plainly and substantially built, and offers
N ery practical advantage to the oceupiere, Behind

It is evident that they had gone rather too far, but
what they did in one direction he did the other, and the
consequence has been anything but satisfactory. It
is idle to think that Berlin will be taken in by their
grandiloquent assertions of satisfaction, while at the
same time the irritation felt in South Germany will
be great, and cannot fail to produce an awkward-
ness in the public mind there. Austria constrained
by circumstances to fill an inferior position is one
thing, and Austria declaring through the mouth-
piece of her representative that she is content to
fill that inferior position is another, and we cannot
but regret in the best interests of the country that
such a blunder should. have ever been made. No
doubt by this time the Baron may repent his too
precipitate language, but he can neither recall
it nor efface its consequences. No one ex-
pected that anything was to be done at once to
reinstate Austria, but still no necessity existed for
this backward step, and it is, indeed, a most unfor-
tunate affair altogether. Better would it have been
if the Rifle Meeting had not taken place at all
than for the sentiments of freedom to have been
permitted utterance only to be rudely repulsed and
repudiated. We cannot accept B troll BURST'S
remarks as the definition of Austria's purposes, and
the Government will now discern them practically, if
not theoretically; but meanwhile they are an unfor-
tunate illustration of the evil wrought by want of
care, and show the mischief that arises from at-
tempting too much, and not putting a just con-
struction upon the effect of such sayings, a truth
that cannot be too often recommended.

When this news reached the garrison, five days
afterwards, an expeditionary force, increased by
bodies of native militia who volunteered their
services, was sent out to pursue the perpetrators of
the massacre, upon whom they inflicted severe loss.

LORD LYTTON'S NEW FIVE ACT PLAY, to be
entitled probably either " The Heir " or " The Sea Rover,"
will during this next autumn be produced on the boards
of the Lyceum Theatre, with Mr. Baudmaun in the prin-
cipal character. Negotiations, it is understood, have b3en
opened by the manager, Mr. E. T. Smith, with a view to
the engagement of Mrs. Hermaa Vezin as the impersona-
tor of the heroine of the drama—a drama founded upon a
story which the noble author has already made his own,
but which he is sa'd in th 3 present version of it to have
transformed almost beyond recognition.
