GUN CLUB, SHEPHERD'S BUSH:

The ground was well attended on Saturday to witness
the shooting for the Summer Open Handicap, a sweep-
stakes of 5 sovs. each, at six pigeons each, from five
traps, double guns, the use of both barrels, 14 oz. of
shot. There were 26 competitors, and after some splen-
did shooting at good birds Mr. D. Treherne, Captain
Starkey, and Captain Braithwaite tied by killing all their
birds—six. They shot the tie off bird for bird, and Capt.
Braithwaite failing to score his first bird, the two former
gentlemen still contended, and after a fine contest Mr D.
Treherne won by bringing down altogether 12 birds with-
out a miss, and gained the first prize, £9O. Capt. Starkey
obtained second prize of £25, and Captain Braithwaite the
third of £lO.

At the conclusion of this event a £1 sweepstakes, at
three birds each, was won by Mr. F. Morris, 26 yards, by
killing 12 birds right off; Capt. Starkey, 2Gir, gained se-
cond money by rattling down 11 birds out of 12; 32 mem-
bers contended.

Capt. Peareth and the lion. It. C. Hill divided the next
sweepstakes, by killing 11 birds each.
Capt. Neville carried off the final sweepstakes, by kill-
ing in fine style nine birds without a miss.
Offer, off Hammersmith, supplied the birds, which wo-ro
remarkably good, in the principal event.

THE FREE-TR.4DER.

• (From the Anglo-American Times)
The League, the advocate of free trade in Ame-
rica, has adopted the uncompromising name of the
Five-Trader, dropping its old designation as not
sufficiently indicative of its purpose. The June num-
ber inaugurates the change as it then commences its
second volume, and we allule to it the more parti-
cularly as we were instrumental in circulating a
statement now shown to be an error. It has been
frequently asserted that the Protectionists chal-
lenged the Free-Traders to unite with them in
publishing in the same periodical the arguments en
both sides, so that the reasons for and agaiust
should be brought into juxtaposition and read to-
gether, a proposition the Free-traders declined. This
is repeated in the New York Tribune of May 13, and
after its truth was re-affirmed, on a request that
what the Free-Trader calls, " this flagrant mis-
statement should be corrected." At the same time
the Tribune published a letter from Mr. Williams, the
secretary of the Industrial League, which gave but
a part of the story: The Free-Trader says :—" The
facts of the case are simply these : 'The Industrial
League,' having been informed of our willingness to
accede to the general ideas embodied in their pro-
position'--namely, to present side by side the argu-
ments for and against Free-Trade—affixed to that
proposition conditions which to any one conversant
with new,spaperleasineo were oblion,ly impractic-
able. These arbitrary conditions were what we
declined, not the proposition itself. Having already
established a periodical, and assumed obligations to
our subscribers and advertisers, we were not at
liberty to violate those obligations. Mr. Williams
ingeniously endeavours to pervert our meaning by
his fragmentary quotation from the reply of the
the Free-Trade League, and follows up this unfair
garbling by an assertion entirely unwarranted in
fact. So did not ' end the proposal for a joint
publication, &c.' On the contrary, after giving
our 'reasons' (which Mr. Williams carefully re-
frains from alluding to), we made a counter-propo-
sition, which we deemed a perfectly fair one." Of
the proposition we are not qualified to judge, but it
was declined by the Protectionists, and it was
agreed to and carried out that they should publish
a periodical of their own, exchanging articles with
the I ree-Trader. In compliance with this agree-
ment a certain portion of the paper is devoted to
the American Industrial League, who proceed to
demolish an article from the World on cheap rail-
way iron, and the Protectionists wind up with the
observation that " nothing could be more unreason-
able or fallacious than the World's argument, and
it knows it, that because railroads in the United
States pay a little higher price for American than
they do for the worst grades of British iron that
therefore they are losers. They then discuss the
Free-Traders in council, and acting on the asser-
tion that they must assume and maintain a boldly
aggressive attitude, the Protectionists ask, are
the 33 clergymen, professors, bankers, &c., who
got up the meeting, fools or knaves ? Do they de-
liberately state falsehoods, or are they simply igno-
rant fanatics? They combat the statement that
excessive duties lessen revenue by comparing the
" revenue" tariff of 1858 and 1859 with the
" protection" tariff of 1866 and 1867, by which
it appears that in the latter years the sum ob-
tained was fully four times that of the former
years, and then exclaim, " Oh, shame ! where
is thy blush ?" They forget to state that before the
war, as the Government required a very small sum
no effort was made to raise a large revenue, but
that after the war it was essentially necessary to
extract the highest obtainable amount, and the
question now is how to adjust the tariff, getting
the most with the least possible injury to the
general body of the people. There are cer-
tain articles which the United States must
import, no matter how high the duty ; there
are others which the United States need not
import, as they can be produced at home. The
revenue will be increased up to a given point by in-
creasing the taxes on the former. Beyond that
point, unless a necessary of life, smuggling, adulte-
ration, and a lAsswedx.nn.sumntiou will checkmate
the revenue. al tne rrotection De mane promut-
five in the latter, the revenue will not of course be
increased, for the effect is merely to do what the
Protectionists desire, that is to create the manufac-
ture in the country. The sole question is whether
such a policy be wise or not, and any deviation in the
arguments from this is merely stirring up mud and
dust to obscure the real merits. There is uo
neces-
sity for the Industrial League to use up their space
" in exposing to reprobation and scorn the fallacies
and falsehoods of the Free-Traders." What they
have to do is to prove that it is a sound policy for
the United States to prohibit the introduction of
any article that can be made at home. No doubt
there is much to be said for and against; and what
may be a sound policy in Great Britain, for in-
stance, may not be a wise one in the United States.
But the professors at whom the Industrial League
sneer, putting the "Doctor" in italics, are neither
" fools' nor "knaves," nor " liars," nor " igno-
rant fanatics," for maintaining that the science of
political economy is founded on the universal laws
of nature, which cannot be violated by any nation,
under any circumstances, with impunity. If the
United States be an exception it is for them to
prove it, for every man has a right to know why he
should be compelled to buy what he considers an
inferior article manufactured by Brown, when but
for this compulsion he would buy at a cheaper rate
what he considered a superior article manufactured
by Smith. It is not a sufficient reason that Smith's
factory is in a foreign country, unless it can be
shown that the common weal is benefited by ex-
cluding Smith and propping up Brown. It may he
good for Brown, and Brown will boldly essert that
it is good also for his fellow citizens, but he ought
to show very satisfactory reasons before these citizens
submit to be mulcted for his benefit, and these reasons
are in no way contained in opprobrious epithets.
The Industrial League will not advance their cause
by such a "boldly aggressive attitude" as that. We
must, however, iu justice add that the Free-Trader
is not immaculate. It talks of the " nefarious
schemes of the League ;" it declares itself the
champion of freedom against the assaults of private
greed; it alludes to one "misrepresentation from a
source from which many more will doubtless
emanate," and to the course which their opponents
had seen fit to adopt as unworthy of honourable
contestants. The subject is, however, one highly
calculated to provoke bitter controversy. It
affects men's pockets, and therefore much latitude
must be allowed ; and, on the whole, the Free-
Trader is written with dignity and moderation.

The correspondent of the New York herald says
of the recent Abyssinian captives—" For personal worth
there is not ono of the late captives equal to one of the
Abyssinian generals who was killed, nor would I rate the
best of them at a five dollar gold piece. Rassam, the En-
voy, is an Armenian foo-fon. Cameron, the consul, is a
tall, lazy fellow. Lieutenant Prideaux is a chatty young
fellow of six-and-twenty, sports an eye-glass and is a
confirmed snob. Surgeon Blane is an excessive grinner,
laughs at his own face when peeping at a lookiug-glass.
Rev-. Sterns is a venerable-looking fossil. Kerns is a
verdant youth of twenty-one, who was a favourite of
Theodorus ; and there is Brandison, Staeger, Fled, Ward-
meier, Morritz, Myer, Salmuler, Petro, Essler, Schller,
Makerer, Kenslen, Parkins, Bender, Schriber, Zandal,
M'Elvey, and Bardel, with their wives and children, very
ordinary-looking people, indeed—positively not worth
twenty millions sterling. A gallant captain, who is
always loudest in abusing his chokras, calls them a
"measly' set. They look very like a lot of emigrants
just about to leave the ocean packet for Castle Garden,
almost ready to tear each other's eyes out for malice,
envy and hatred engendered on the trip. Cameron had
25 servants, Hindoos and Abyssinians ; Rosenthal had 10,
Rassam 14, Prideaux six—even Theodorus's mechanics
had three servants each ; and when the return of the
number of servants of each captive was made to the Poli-
tical Secretary, you may better imagine his astonishment
than I can describe it."

The place of observation selected by France in
the Peninsula of Malacca to observe the solar eclipse on
the 18th of August has been explored and prepared with
care. The King of Siam has signified his intention of
being present at the labours of the commission. Indepen-
dently of this expedition, the Academy of Sciences has
nominated an astronomer for the same purpose to go to
Masulipatam to act in concert with others sent from Eng-
land.

Oxford has shown itself more liberal than Cam-
bridge with regard to the admission of students.
Hitherto no one could enjoy the advantages of either
university without submitting to the restrictions and
expense of connection with some college. In future
any one will be able to study at Oxford under uni-
versity tutors, pass the university examinations, and
obtain degrees, without belonging to any college—a
statute to this effect having been carried at a numerously
attended convocation last week. It is impossible not to
perceive that this is one step, amongst others, towards
making the University a truly national institution. A
similar proposal was rejected at Cambridge a short time
ago. —ilthenogunz.

The following is an extract from dprivate letter from tho
commander of one of her Majesty's ships, dated Gnadur,
May 15, 1868 :—" I arrived at Muscat after a capital
voyage of six days from Aden. Muscat is the chief town
of the possessions of the 'maths, or Sultan of Muscat, who
lives there, whose father was murdered last year. The
English have recognised him, and sent an English officer
to reside there as political agent. The agent was not there
when I arrived, so I fired a royal salute of twenty-one
guns in honour of the Sultan, which was immediately re-
turned by the guns on the forts. His Highness sent his
Prima Minister and an interpreter on board to welcome
me, and to say that he would give MC an audience
the next day. Accordingly, the next day my executive
officer and myself got ourselves into very hot uniform,
girded on our swords, and presented 'ourselves at the
portals of the palace. We entered a large open quadrangle
lined on all sides by Arab and Persian guards. The Sultan
came out to receive us, shook hands, and ushered us in
the `Dunbar' room, where we all found chairs. He
seemed a gloomy roan. After partaking of coffee, sherbet,
&c., and talking a little, we took our leave, telling hie.
Highness we hoped he would live a thousand years, &e.
The same evening we rode out on the Sultan's horses,
splendid Arabs. European saddles and bridles were
thoughtfully prepared for us. 'The present Sultan, lam
told, has not many women in his harem, only a few
Georgians. But the harem of his late father is a very
large building, containing a great quantity. Since the
rad man's death I believe they have been kept entirely
secluded. The second morning that we were there we sat
down on an old fallen tree, in a place which commanded
a full view of the windows (iron barred) of the seraglio.
To our surprise, several of the women came to the win-
dows, some kissing their hands to us, and so on. We were .
near enough to see that they were all pretty, and thought
it a great shame that they should be cooped up for the
rest of their days. From Muscat I went to Guadtd,
telegraph station, and found there a political resident,
Captain Ross, and his wife, both most hospitable and
agreeable people, as also is the superintendent of the tele-
graph. The telegraph will be repaired in a couple of

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.

The temperature during the past week has been much
lower in the north of England. Only in exceptional cases,
however, has the quantity of rain being sufficient to afford-
any permanent benefit to the crops, the land being still
parched on some soils ; cracks fully one inch and an inch
and a half are seen spreading all over the surface of the
land, amongst the corn, showing the extreme dryness.
The wheat, which is now in ear, looks very favourable
on lands which are not light or gravelly, and is maturing
fast, but in the less favoured localities the crop must be
light. Spring corn is also suffering greatly. The hay
crop is being gathered rapidly in the counties of Durham,
North Yorkshire, Westmoreland, and South Northum-
berland, to which this report relates, but it will be
very light. Rain fell in some parts of the district on
Saturday afternoon, though not to any great extent. The
past week has again been characterised by great drought
in the eastern counties, although copious rains fell on
Sunday and Monday. Upon the whole the wheats look
well, although they would be benefited by more rain'
Barleys are spoken of in gloomy terms. In the fens there
will be light crops of spring corn, kohlrabi, and mari-
gold ; but, except on the sharpest and shortest gravels,
the wheat crop looks strong and hopeful. The oat crop
is short and light ; beans, too, are short, but appear to
have podded fairly. Peas look pretty well : the whole
vast fen district would, however, be greatly benefited by
rain. The hay harvest is exti emely light, but it has been
secured in fine condition; The appearance of the hop
grounds in Kent, especially the eastern division, has
not for many years been so favourable for a large
growth as at present. The bine is unusually forward,
and the lateral or Midsummer shoots have made
rapid growth, favoured by the intensely hot sun and warm
nights. There is an almost total absence of vermin, and
in some-of the grounds around the favoured district of
Canterbury burr has already made its appearance. Gene-
rally speaking the grounds are now as forward as they
were in the middle of July last year, and this is consi-
dered favourable to the growth of a large crop, unless
blight makes its appearance earlier in the season that
usual.

CORN HARVESTING IN WET WEATHER

-- .....

The present season is suggestive of anything but wel
corn sheaves ; but an experiment which has been tried
at Gilwell Park, near London, depends in no way upon a
rainy sky on a given day for its importance. It is in the
times of peace that war experiments are rife. It
seems that Mr. G. .Gibbs, who resides at
leas just succeeded, amongsL competitors, iii
winning the prize offered by the Society of Arts for the
best practical essay on the question how to harvest corn.
in wet seasons ; and on the occasion referred to he invited
a party, including Mr. Wren Hoskyns, Mr. Sewell Read,
M.P., Mr. Caird, Mr. Arthur helps, Mr. Hall Dare, Mr.
Brandreth Gibbs, the Duke of Sutherland, the Hon. E.
Coke, Sir T. Fowell Buxton, and several others, to witness
the apparatus at work. The contrivance is said to be simply
and economically adapted to the purpose intended. We are
indebted to the Gardeners' Chronicle for an outline of it.
The hot breath of a steam-engine diverted from its
ordinary exit is driven, by means of a blower, into the
cavity underneath an artifical floor of sheet-iron, which
floor is crocketed (as an architect would say) with hollow
upright cones or funnels, open at the apex, and placed at
such intervals as to allow the wet sheaves to be stooked
upon them, as close as may be, to receive the drying
blast up through their centres, from the funnels on
which they stand. Of course the chamber is closed
as soon as the sheaves are thus disposed within it ;
and the heat inside is soon considerable, ab-
sorbing every particle of moisture, and allowing the
stooking process to be quickly repeated upon another
waggon or cart load of sheaves—that is, wet—fresh from
the field. For the treatment of damp, or half-made hay a
simpler plan is adopted, the hay being merely shaken
before the drying blast from the engine, the effect of which
in rapidly driving off every particle of moisture caused
some surprise among those present. Our experienced con•
temporary speaks cautiously of the invention, but does
not hesitate to say that this steam-blast must lead to some
surprising result. That a pressure of only i lb, or Slb.,
when employed for nothing else, could generate such a
hurricane, was in itself like a new accomplishment of the
steam-engine, which for the time became, it says, a perfect

The King of PRUSSIA and the CROWN-PRINCE,
with some others, arrived at Worms on the 21th,
for the purpose of inaugurating the LUTIIER monu-
ment. The occasion was quite a festive one, and
the streets were decorated with flags and flowers.
The KING was well received, and great crowds
assembled. The interest of the affair was enhanced
by a message from Queen VICTORIA, in which her
MAJESTY expressed her hearty congratulations to the
committee for the erection of the LUTHER memorial
upon the "successful coinpletion" of their task, and
adde I that England sympathised with the occasion
which united the Protestant friends and peoples of
Germany. The whole ceremony was an interest-
big one, and contrasted favourably with ume in
which the King of PRUSSIA has borne a part of
late, when it has been too evident that there was
no spontaneous desire on the part of the people
to join in the .undertakings. News from Paris
contradicts the report that had been circulated, to
the effect that complaints had been made by the
Prussian Government with respect to the conduct,
of the Hancelarian refugees on French territory.
This is as well, for it is quite evident that the Berlin
Government were making themselves more and
more unpopular by the course they had taken With
respect to the unfortunate Hanoverians, and the
sooner they changed their tactics the better for all
concerned, and for their own reputation as well,
for it could not fail to suffer by the opposition the
late tyrannous measures had attached to it.

On Wednesday the Aldershot Division, under the
command of Lieut.-Gen. the Hon. Sir James Yorke
Scarlett, K.C.8., had a field-day and sham fight.
At half-past 10 o'clock the three infantry brigades
formed up under cover of the hills, near the Queen's
Pavilion. The Ist brigade was on the right, the 2d
brigade in the centre, and the 3d brigade on the
left, near the Farnham road. The sth Dragoon
Guards were placed between the 2d and 3d brigades.
The remainder of the cavalry and artillery were
under cover in the barrack square, except a
battery which was posted on the hill in rear
of the Ist brigade. These dispositions were
made with the object of attacking an enemy re-
presented by I) Battery, Royal Horse Artillery,
under Colonel Laffan, commanding the Royal En-
gineers, in a strong position on Caesar's-hill.
About 11 o'clock General Scarlett, accompanied
by his Staff, inspected the position, and shortly
afterwards the artillery of the enemy opened a
heavy fire on the advancing force. It-was quickly
responded to by the battery of artillery in position
near the Queen's Pavilion. A fierce discharge was
carried on for about ten minutes, after which the
three brigades, covered by a strong line of skir-
mishers, advanced steadily towards the point of
attack. Meanwhile, the cavalry and horse artillery
were proceeding along the Farnham-wood, together
with some regiments of infantry, and debouching
upon Hungry-hill, they took the enemy in flank,
pouring in a heavy fire. After the skirmishers of
the division arrived at the base of Caesar's-hill they
were recalled, and relays of fresh skirmishers charged
up the steep face of Caesar's-hill. Colonel Laffan,
perceiving his position nearly surrounded, retired,
his retreat being nearly cut off by the cavalry and
horse artillery, which had emerged upon the plain by
way of Lawdy-house. The second battalion 6th and
the 54th Regiments scaled the bill, and on gaining
the crest reformed and fired upon the retreating
enemy, who retired to Heath-house, whence he re-
opened a spirited fire. The cavalry having made
several demonstrations, the infantry formed a line
facing south, fired some volleys by companies, and
then took up an independent fire, which compelled
the enemy to surrender. The troops then marched
past Bricksbury Plain, the horse Artillery and
cavalry by wings, the field batteries in open
column of batteries at a walk, and the infantry in
grand divisions in quick time. After the march
past the troops returned to quarters, which were
reached shortly before two o'clock.

On Saturday afternoon a very interesting cere-
monial took place in St. Pancras. It was the day
selected for the inauguration of the metropolita n
memorial to RICHARD COBDEN, and the throngs
who assembled round the statue long before the
hour fixed upon proved how warm an interest was
felt on the occasion. England has sometimes been
accused of being tardy and niggardly in her recog-
nition of great public services, and there is some
grounds for the accusation. It can hardly be said,
however, that Mr. COBDEN'S services failed to meet
with due recognition, since in his lifetime
he enjoyed a degree of influence and consideration
not often accorded to unofficial men. The position
which he held was not indeed confined to this
country, for abroad the name of COBDEN was
known and honoured; and more especially in
France and America it was as familiar as those
of the native statesmen. If he died as he lived
plain RICHARD COBDEN, M.P., it was from his
own choice. It was no secret that more than one
Prime Minister had sought his assistance in the
Cabinet, while the sturdy Commoner resolutely de-
dined a title which he justly felt co'sld yield him
no additional honour. Since his death his reputa-
tion and hid op!uions have gained in weight and
in consideration rather than diminished, an 1 his
name is still dear to the people, although they
are not yet fully prepared to understand or to ac-
cept his more advanced theories.
The statue unveiled on Saturday last stands on a
commanding site, and occupies, not unsuitably, the
position for many years filled by one of the
last of the metropolitan turnpikes. It is said
that the coincidence of its removal with
, Dir. COBDEN'S lamented death suggested the idea
