The Viceroy, on the 7th and sath February, strongly arged the Secretary of State to declase a minimum for the next two months; otherwise be feared commercial difficulties would arise.

"Colonel Jerrard, D.A.A.G., who bud been deputed by Major-General Digby Barker to make the inspection, addressed the Corps: *1
follows:-
· Major Morrison, officers, non-commissioned officers and men of the Shanghai Volunteers, I shall be able to report very favourably to the Council on your performance to-day, I think that you have made very good use of your month's training, and everything shows that the officers have thoroughly understood what they had to teach. I parposely refrained from giving any orders as to what each unit should perform as I wished to see exscily what the officers if left to themselves would make their men do. I was very glad to sto mo Intricate movements were attempted, but that you confined yourselves to movements which might have been done in the face of the enemy, and did those movements very fairly well. I was very glad to see you bars a bridge. Last year it was a point to which attention was drawn, that the Engineers were not provided with proper tools, and had no bridge sulted to the country. Now they have got that bildge and can tan It well. There were one or two things in the attack
I should like to draw attention to. Some of the companies exposed themselves rather more than they need have done, and, with regard to the first charge of the Light Horse, that river having been bridged, you should not hers avalled yourselves of your local knowledge that you could charge across it. It having been bridged was a algu you could not cross, at any rate for the day, and the bridge being there the charge should not have been made. The drill, generally, has been very good, and I shall have much pleasure In anying so when making my report to the
Council.
Major Morrison in a few words thanked the inspecting afficer for his remarks, and three beasty cheers having been given for Lt. Col. ferrard, the Volunteers returned to the Bund, whence they were dismissed after a few com plimentary observations from Major Morrison, and a good deal of metali cheering,

MISS BELLWOOD'S NEW ROLE.
ARRAIONED AS A PRISONER IN A "NASTY” COURT.
"I've played to better houses than this," said Miss Besale Bellwood, glancing over the rows of nearly empty benches in the Jefferson Market Police-court, New York, the other afternoon, while she was waiting for her case to be called by Justice John J. Ryan. Then she emitted a peal of laughter that made the Justice glance up from his papers with a frown, "while the clerks and court officers looked aghast.
Bestle was there to answer a charge of assault upon Lizzie Crook, her maid, a slender little Englishwoman, who accused her of blackening her cya with a high-heeled shoe m February 11th.
Miss Bellwood wore a dashing pepper-and-salt cloth dress, cut like a man's coat, revealing a laundered shirt with a standing collar, and a natty black slik bow. A heary velvet cost of old gold colour trimmed with yellow fur magnified
