TITh VOLUNTEER REVIEW.

The Hants Telegraph reports with reference to the Easter
Monday Volunteer Review at Portsmouth, that there
is a prospect of the necessary accommodation and other
arrangements as to details being all that can possibly
be desired to render the review successful. The amount
already subscribed in the borough is close upon £7OO, and
there is reasonable ground for believing that this will be
more than doubled in the course of a few days. Many
definite arrangements have already been made as
to the movements of some of the metropolitan corps.
Information, for instance, has reached Portsmouth that the
Ist Middlesex, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel
Creed, will march from London with a battery of six guns
and 50 horses. The corps will leave headquarters on
Thursday, and will rest at Guildford and Petersfield. The
Honourable Artillery Company will bring 40 horses, and
will also bivouac at Petersfield and Guildford. It is esti-
mated that the field artillery will require 450 horses for the
movement of the guns ; and it is also estimated that the
infantry present will comprise 160 battalions ; and if. this
be so, at least 350 additional horses will be required
for the field officers. Thus it will be seen that about 800
horses will be required for the review. It has been deter-
mined to barricade a portion of Southsea Common to facili-
tate the march past of the various corps, and to avoid the
pressure which would be otherwise experienced from the
crowd. There is reason to believe that a grand pyro-
technic display will take place in the evening, and in order
to render this as effective as possible the authorities will
be solicited to confer upon the town the grant usually
accorded upon such occasions—a supply of fireworks from
Woolwich Arsenal. Another object of the committee will
be to obtain the services of the Naval Brigade to take part
in the review by occupying positions on Porchester Lake,
and attacking to the right of the enemy on Portsdown Hill,
the effect of which, if carried out, will be one of the most
interesting in the programme of the day. The Honourable
Artillerj. Company will be entertained to breakfast on the
morning of the review by Mr. Alderman Emanuel. In
addition to the church parade, which is fixed to enable
volunteers to attend Divine service at St. John's on Easter
Sunday, arrangements have also been made for the
Honourable Artillery Company to attend at St. Thomas
Church, Portsmouth, the same day, accompanied by the
mayor and corporation. There will be a general effort
made on the part of the inhabitants to decorate the town
--especially those portions through which the volunteers
will pass—and already special subscriptions are being col-
lected in different localities for this purpose.

Mr. William R,ann Kennedy is a scholar of King's
College, and is the fourth gentleman of the same name
and family who has distinguished himself in the Clas-
sical Tripos. He was educated at Eton, and was succes-
sively Bell's Scholar, and, in 1567, Craven Scholar of the
university.
Mr. M. C. Cullinan, of Christ's, was educated aa.
Dublin University, where he took the first place in classics.
He also obtained the Porson University Scholarship at
Cambridge.

An influential deputation, headed by Lord Elcho, M.P.,
has just waited upon the Secretary for War to urge upon
the Government the necessity for increasing the capitation
grant to the Volunteer force. Lorca Elcho, as a member
of the commission appointed to inquire into the subject,
stated that the commissioners had fixed the grant at £1
in order to see upon how little the Volunteer force could
be maintained. But the grant, continued his lordship,
had now been proved to be altogether insufficient. Several
other gentlemen, among whom were Sir Charles Campbell,
Colonel Akroyd, M.P., and Major Dillwyn, M.P., having
addressed the right hon. baronet, Sir John Pak ington drew
attention to the want of unanimity among the officers of
the Volunteers themselves on the subject. Undoubtedly
some corps required more funds, but the want was by no
means general, and certainly not pressing. The Cabinet
had had the matter before them, and, whio vishing well tt
the force, they could not consent to any immediate increase
in the grant. He would bring the views of the deputation
once again before the Ministry, and if they could modify
their decision he should be most happy to carry out their
views.

The opinion is slowly but surely taking possession of the
national mind that the defences of the country are not in a
satisfactory state. It has long been felt that the money
expended on our forts and guns has been to a great extent
wasted. As long as the public had the idea that all was
right, the waste continued, the only persons benefited
having been certain fortunate inventors and con-
tractors. The plain truth is, that plans have been
carried out without having been sufficiently tested.
There were the unfortunate Gibraltar shields, for
instance, two of which are now, it appears, about to be re-
turned to England for improvement. The shields were
never properly tested before they were sent out. The
same thing is being repeated in the matter of the Plymouth
and Bermuda forts. The representative sections for test
ing, promised so long ago, are not yet nearly ready, while
the real work is proceeding, and is likely to be finished as
soon as the model. There are assertions confidently made
daily that the whole affair will prove a failure, notwith-
standing which no effort is made to set the matter at rest.
Very much the same thing is being carried on, too, with
regard to heavy guns.
DESTRUCTION OF THE AERATED BREAD COM-
PANY'S MILL.—On Thursday evening, soon after five
o'clock, a fire broke out in the mill in the occupation of the
Aerated Company, situate on the east bank of the River
Wandle, at Wandsworth. An alarm was immediately
given, and the fire-engines of Messrs. Young and Bain-
bridge and Mr. Bell were quickly on the spot. Before
they could be brought into play the flames had extended
along the greater portion of the building, and the roof was
pierced in several places. Notwithstanding an ample,
supply of water, the River Wandle running within a few
yards, the engines were totally inadequate to cope with the
fire, and for nearly one hour the flames had uncontrolled
mastery of the building, and floor after floor fell in. The
building is entirely gutted, and a very large quantity of
stock destroyed.

"LOCK-OUT" AT SALTAIRE.—The extensive and
well-known manufacturing establishment of Messrs. T.
Salt, Sons, and Co., at Saltaire, near Bradford, was on
Thursday standing idle, the engine and machinery having
been stopped and the gates closed. On Wednesday a
deputation from the weavers employed in the establish-
ment made an application to their employers for an
advance of wages. They were required to spew whether
any other firm in the district were giving higher remune-
ration, but they were unable to offer such evidence,
and failed to make out a satisfactory case. The
most that could be said in support of the application
was that there were indications of a revival of trade,
and it was thought by the workpeople that the time had
come for an advance of their remuneration. The senior
partner was present when the application was made, and
greatly incensed at what he regarded as an unreasonable
application before there are indications of a permanent
revival, and so early after a long and severe depression,
during which the workpeople have been fairly employed,
he at once not only rejected the application, but ordered
the works to be stopped. Some of the spinners, it is said,
had previously ceased to work, and there were symptoms
of an intended strike. Iffany thousands of workpeople
at Saltaire are idle, and as some of the junior partners
left the Saltaire Railway Station for Bradford market
they Were 99ted by a dense crowd pf belle youths,

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

CITY OF LONDON COURT.
(Before Mr. R. M. Kerr.)

THE LIABILITY OF LIQUIDATORS--ANSTEY V. MANN.
This was an action to recover £2O for services
alleged to have been rendered to the defendant, who
is secretary octhe Warrant Finance Company (Li-
mited). It appeared that the Warrant Finance
Company had some extensive interest in the Na•

tional Land Company (Limited). The latter com-
pany was ordered to be wound up, and defendant
was appointed liquidator. Plaintiff, who was one
of the clerks i❑ the office of the Warrant Finance
Company, had been employed by the defendant
in doing some work in connection with the
National Land Company, and for this he charged.
Plaintiff stated that he had done the work in ques-
tion during office hours, but he was obliged to stay
late in order to do his general work.
Mr. Butler Rigby, for the defendant, called his
client to show that although he was the liquidator
he was a liquidator without fees.
His Honour held that as the work had been done

the inference was that it must be paid for. There
had been a certain agreement put in under which
the plaintiff was to perform work upon the order of
the directors of the Finance Company, and of the
superior officers, but that clearly meant the work of
that company and not extra labour. Plaintiff would
have a verdict with costs.
Mr. Rigby gave notice of appeal.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-THIS DAI'.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

IMPORTANT TO THE KEEPERS OF HORSES._Mr•
Elenry Rain, carrier of Eltham, Kent, appeared
before Mr. Knox, to answer the complaint of the
Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, of causing a horse to be ill-treated by
being worked in an unfit state, and a man in WO
employ, named M'Lean, was charged with cruelty
to the horse by working it.

Inspector Temperley, of the Royal Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, proved
seeing M'Lean driving the horse, which was at-
tached to a van containing furniture, and noticing
that it was very lame he examined it, and found
that it had a disease of the foot of long standing,
and that it appeared to be in great pain, and ou
speaking to M'Lean about it he said that his
master, Mr. Rain, knew its condition. . _

The defendant Rain said that he worked the
horse under the advice of his farrier, who said that
working it a little would do it good.
Mr. Cherry, the Government veterinary surgeon.
proved examining the horse in the Green-yard, and
said that it was very lame of both hind legs and one
fore foot from a disease of long standing.
Mr. Knox said that the defendant Rain had said
that he was recommended to work the horse.

Mr. Cherry said it was a most improper recom-
mendation, and it was cruel to work a horse in
such a state, and no properly-qualified veterinary
surgeon would give such a recommendation. The
horse might be cured, but it would take a long
time to do so. It was a curious circumstance, but
nevertheless true, that a horse with a diseased fore-
foot did not fall away like one that had a disease of
the hind foot, and therefore persons were often led to
suppose that they did not suffer so much pain In
consequence.
The defendant, Rain, said the horse should be
turned out, and not worked till it was sound. He
had been guided by the advice given him.
Mr. Cherry said the officer, Temperley, had
told him that other horses of Mr. Rain's were la
a bad state.
Mr. Knox said as the defendant, Rain, would
have heavy expenses to pay, he should only order
him to pay the costs, .El. 35., and M'Lean would be
discharged.
FORTY SHILLINGS FOR No THING. —Mr. Jobll,
Geary, of Queen-street, Marylebone, was charged
before Mr. Knox with being drunk and incapable
of taking care of his horse and trap in Tottenham'
court-road.
Police-constable Phillip Fuller, 481 T agt
night I saw the defendant in a cart in the Totten'
ham-court-road, and as he was drunk and stopping
the traffic, I was obliged to take him into custody'
Mr. Knox—What became of the trap?
Constable—l took it home.

Mr. Knox—What is the defendant ?

Defendant—l am a gentleman.
Mr. Knox—l am glad to hear it, as you will be
able to pay a fine.
Defendant-1 had been with a friend, a publieeilli
to Harlesden-green, and I only took two glasses °
spirits all day. I daresay the constable might has
thought I was drunk, but I was not. I have bet
a tradesman of Marylebone for 30 years, and I"'
never before a magistrate before.
Mr. Knox—You might have run over some 013 e.
You will have to pay 40s.

Defendant—Forty shillings for nothing ? id
The defendant paid the fine, but very reluetantir
