This may be sp, still it can hardly he denied that the men will respect and oboy their officers all the more readily if they are well up to their work, and thoroughly acquainted with the drill. Past experiences must have taught our local volunteers a lesson in this respect, and doubtless the discrimination we recommend will be noticeable when the officers of the new volunteer corps are elected. We heartily wish the movement SEASON'S every success.

As the pace of a racehorse, will depend upon the state of the ground and the shape of the animal's feet, so will the pace of the elaborate rowing-machines known as racing boats depend upon the wind and the tide, and especially on the effect of rough water upon the rowing of any given crew. Elegant rowing and an admirably built hoal just a trifle too light for the crew may be brought to very naught by a stiff breeze meeting the tide between Hammer smith and Mortlake, or still earlier in the race at the point where the "shoot" is made.

She is said to be a gifted piece of royalty, painting and modelling, besides being a fine musician, and a very charming and inter- esting girl in the bosom of her family. Beatrice has a high nose and a temper that matches it, and is as proud as Lucifer himself. Both young women are in the market.

WE understand that the moonlight performances by the regimental band of the Buffs will in future be given at the Cricket Ground instead of in the Public Gardens. This change has been decided on owing to the very limited and not particularly select audiences which have of late attended the promenade concerts in the Gardens.

A TELEGRAM from Rometo the London Standard, dated September 14th, says :-Now that it is no longer possible to conceal the fact of an impor tant English victory at Tel-el-Kebir, the Popolo hastens to say it is accounted for by the dissen- sions, among the Egyptians. All parties are once more proclaiming that England is bound to make a speedy end of the military part of the affair, in order to submit the reorgani sation of Egypt to the decision of a European Congress. To-night the papers are universally occupied with the taking of Tel-el-Kebir. The Osservatore, the Clerical organ, observes sarcas tically on the simplicity of the Governmental papers continuing to assert that England must now deliver up the fruits of her victories, to be apportioned by others. It says if former Italian statesmen had not had more tact than the present ones, no kingdom of Italy would have been pos sible. Italy, knowing that the lowers were favourable to the idea that Spain should be re- presented at the Conference for the regulation of the International Service of the Suez Canal, de sired to know if the Spanish Government intend ed to make any proposition officially. The reply was that Spain would leave to Italy the selection of a favourable moment. It is understood that the Italian Government will make the proposal immediately. During Signor Mancini'sTM stay at Turin he had several interviews with the Spanish Ambassador, who went thither expressly to sec him.
FROM latest home papers we note that there is a conflict of authority between France and Italy in regard to Tunisian affairs which may lead to un- pleasant consequences. A telegram from Tunis dated the 11th ulto, asserts that there is great excitement in the Italian colony in consequence of the sentence passed by the French council of war on an Italian, condemning him to two years imprisonment for attacking a French soldier, and a correspondent wires from Reme on the same In the new edition of Behm and Wagner's "Le- date that the conflict of jurisdiction in Tunis bevölkerung der Erde," the total population of the tween Italy and France is considered an incident globe is estimated at 1,433,887,500.

HONGKONG, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1882
We are very glad to hear that the steps which have recently been taken to revive the volunteer movement in Hongkong are likely to lead to tangible and satisfactory results. His Excellency the Administrator is stated to he strongly in favor of the movement, and that gallant old soldier, Major-General SaRGENT, has also promised his hearty support. So far as we can gather, it has been arranged to form an arúllery corps consisting of two batteries.
