For the first time in tho West an open competition took place between the ordinary Enfield rifle and the Snider on even terms, and the result showed that the Snider had the best of it.

The shooting was of a superior character throughout, considering the strong wind that prevailed, some of the cracks from both counties having competed. The weapon was the bona fide Government pattern, long Enfield, either muzzle or Snider breech loader, competitors were allowed to enter for both. 200 and 500 yards, 7 shots at each range.

Kendall, M.P., addressed a large and influential meeting at the Lecture Hall, Btratton. Mr. C. N. Bray was called upon to preside and amongst those present were The Rev.

A. C. Thynne, the Rev. S. Kingdon, the Rev.

R. R. Wright, Messrs. C. N.

Vowler, C. Bray, E. Hockin, T. Good, F. Delmar, Shepherd, W.

Shepherd, Jewel, Squire, Congdon, Badcock, Sandry, Doble, Trewin, Medland, Venning, Harris, Walter, Trickey, Bridgeman, and Lyle. Mr. Kendall, having been introduced in a flattering manner by the chairman, said he felt much pleased with the kind reception they Lad given him, and he hoped to be able to prove that he had not forfeited the confidence of the electors, that he had not been neglectful of his duties, but rather bad been ever mindful of their interests. He felt that he had always represented them honestly, and bad done so to the present moment, and was sure they would bear his explanations patiently. He tbt-n referred to the matter of Capt.

Colvill's salary, explaining his reasons for proposing the increase. Having referred to the matter at considerable length, remarking that that was the whole and honest truth of the matter, he referred to his resignation of the chairmanship of the board of Guardians at Bodmin. His opponents bad said he was opposed to financial boards, but no man could convict him of that, as he had always spoken in th favour. In proof of this he quoted portions of his evidence given to a committee un financial boards in the House of Commons. He hud always been anxious for reform, but did not deem it prudent to legislate hastily but when it was either reform or re volution.

he gave up his opinions rather than run the risk. Still, be was of opinion that the Reform Bill of last year would work well for the country. He then referred to the speech of Sir Massey Lopes, shewing that the agricultural interest had been over-taxed, and that unless there was an equabsation of rates, things could not go on much longer as they were. He had opposed the Turnpike Bill, believing it would be a further tax upon the over-burdened ratepayers. Referring to his opponents, he eaid they were highly respectable men, and worthy opponents, but be complained of the ungracious manner in which the Liberals had treated him after representing the constituency so many years.

He was not in the least discouraged by their conduct, but especially pleased with the support he should have from some of the Liberal party, whom he had expected would have been opposed to him. Mr. Kendall then criticised the articles of Plymouth newspapers concerning him, and said their opposition would do him great good. Mr. Kendall resumed his seat amid much applause.

The Rev. A. C. Thynne asked Mr. Kendall if he was in favour of the cost of compulsory education falling upon the ratepayers Mr.

Kendall said he should be opposed to any such Bcheme. England was behind France and Prussia in educational matters, and he was of opinion that we should have to educate the people to a much larger extent than at present, but a part of the cost should come from the Consolidated Fund. The Rev. A. 0.

Thynne remarked that he had listened with much pleasure to the manly, straightforward speech of the hon. gentleman, and he hoped the people of Corn-waU would act independently in their voting (cheers). The Rev. S. N.

Kingdon warmly eulogised the conduct of Mr. Kendall, remarking that be had cleared himself thoroughly of all imputations. Speaking of the Cattle Plague Bill, he said the farmers had a right to try and protect their cattle from foreign contagion. He was sorry that the counties had not a better share in the representation. He himself was opposed to the cost of education falling upon the ratepayer.

He did all he could to further education in his neighbourhood, and it was right to put evt ry facility in the way of those who wished to learn but do not let them force education upon the people whether they would or not. Other questions having been asked and answered, a vote of entire confidence in Mr. Kendall was unanimously passed, on the motion of Mr. C. Vowlee, seconded by the Rev.

A. C. Thynne. and a vote of thanks to the chairman concluded an orderly meeting. Cheers for Mr.

Kendall were lustily given. 20a0d 90 30 Association, together with added from the local prize fund, has been competed for. The targets were moored 2,000 yards from the battery, and were struck three times. Several men were debarred from competing in consequence of there being no vestige of the targets left on which to lay the guns. About sixty men competed.

The first, second, and third prizes were equally divided amongst Bombadier Berriman and Gunners F. Williams and Burrall, all of whom succeeded in smashing" the targets. Tho practice was pronounced by the adjutant to be most excellent. The annual carbine prize shooting took place on Tuesday. Tho practice was not nearly so good as in former years.

The prize list was very hand-soire, about 35 being divided into 15 prizes. The first prize was won by Sergeant Martin with 43 second by Gunner T. Stevens with 42 third by Gunner A. Berriman with 40 fourth by Gunner A. Pascoe with 40.

Boase, in the chair. The Surveyor reported that 24 houses in Battery Square are without any supply of water, and that a supply is ready to be furnished to each house at a cost of not less than 2d. per week. The committee recommended that tho owner bo requested to supply water. Tho Market Committee mentioned (through their secretary, Mr.

Jamos Dennis) that the suggestion of the Sanitary Committee had been adopted, that a large urinal and two closets should be provided for tho market people in Bread-street, the closets to be locked, and the urinal to be open to tho sky. The Local Board, anxious to accommodate the market people, but at the same time to avoid any public inconvenience, considered those plans very carefully, and at last passed them, the mayor expressing a belief that, with the aid of the beadle, these plans would be no inconvenience. A district rate of Is. in the was passed, and tho Council adjourned. PHILLEIGH.

Philleigh Church. A harvest thanksgiving was held last Sunday in this Church, which was tastefully decorated by some ladies of the parish, under the auspices of the churchwardens. Appropriate sermons were preached by the Rev. C. R.

Miss Murray, a lady of considerable talent, has given interesting readings during the week, in aid of the funds of the Cornwall House ofMercy. At Truro, only about a dozen persons assembled, and Miss Murray was disheartened and declined to go on." Dr. Clement Le Neve Foster. Dr. Clement Le Neve Foster, favourably known by his connection with the Miners' Association of Cornwall and Devon, the Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society of Cornwall, the Geological Survey of Great Britain, and his recent exploration of Mount Sinai, has been engaged as leader of the expedition about to be sent out to examine the Orinoco.

The County Police. We understand that Colonel Gilbert has decided on several of the superintendents of the county police force exchanging districts, and that the proposed alterations will be effected in the course of a few weeks. Truro will consequently lose one of the most efficient and respected officers in the force, by the withdrawal of Superintendent Complin. Wrecks on the Cornish Coast. A violent gale swept along the Cornish coast on Saturday, and considerable damage to property, and the loss of at least one life, were the results.

Samuel Higgs, the master of the Morning Star," a cutter tho property of Mr.Elliott, outfitter, of Falmouth, was washed overboard and drowned. The Jules Jouplone, from Wales for La Rochelle, was wrecked near Padstow harbeur her crew, four in number, were gallantly rescued by the lifeboat. The smack Fancy," of Fowey, Turner master, for Runcorn, with china stone, sprung a leak and was abandoned in a sinking condition the vessel foundered shortly after the crew The Penelley," of Padstow, Richard master, from Dartmouth for Cardiff, struck directly under Compass Point, Bude, and became a total wreck the crew, three in number, were saved by means of the rocket apparatus. Considerable damage is reported to have been done to house property in several parts of the county, and several large trees were uprooted. A Woman Killed on the Cornwall Railway.

On Monday, an inquest was held before Mr. John Jago, county coroner, at the Ferry House Inn, Antony Passage, on the body of Ann Jackson, who was killed on the Antony Passage viaduct on Saturday. George Jackson, said he was tho husband of the deceased. He left his home on Saturday last at six o'clock a.m. to go to his work.

His wife, the deceased, told him she was going to Devonport, and she went, crossing the Passage ferry. The deceased returned to Saltash at about four o'clock in the afternoon, they met at the station, it being their pay day, and he was off duty. They proceeded on the highway towards their home, and on arriving at Wearne, they determined to cross the farm and then the viaduct, having first made sure that the 5.50 train from Saltash had passed. On arriving at the viaduct ho ascertained by his watch that they had ample time to cross before the train due at Saltash at 6.44 would come on. They proceeded to cross over, his wife being about twenty-five yards in advance of him.

When he was about two-thirds of tho way over he heard the whistle of a train approaching, and got upon the ballast board. He looked and saw his wife running before the train, and then attempt to cros3 over, for the purpose, as he believed, of getting into the man or safety cage. To use the witness's own words, he knew she was a dead woman," it being impossible for her to cross. The train then caught her, and death must have been instantaneous. Mr.

Compton here stated that if Jackson had been near the train when it passed he would have seen that the danger signal or disc attached to the train indicated danger. Jackson, admitting that he should have known it had ho seen it, remarked that he was up in the field some quarter of a mile above. In answer to a juror, he stated that he was satisfied there was no danger from the mail train approaching. Ventham, the engine driver, was then called. He stated that he was leaning over the hand rail on approaching the viaduct, and saw-two persons crossing, one being some way in advance of the other.

He saw that the one in advance was a woman, THE METAL MARKET. (From Vivian, Younger and Bond, 1 1 7, Leadenhall Street, London, E.C., August llstj.

William Williams, farmer, cf Trehill, near Helston, was getting up, his attention was attracted by hearing the cries of an infant. Having no children of his own he felt alarmed, and enquired of the servant girl what child she had. No such stranger having made its appearance in that quarter, he opened the window, and soon found that the cries came from a largo basket placed by the front door. No time was lost in examining the contents of tho basket, when a fine male child apparently about a week old presented itself to his astonished gaze, and screamed all the more for being disturbed. The child was remarkably clean, and there were several changes of linen, consisting of shirts, long frocks, neatly made and nicely trimmed flannels, and other articles, also a feeding bottle containing food and a powder box of puff.

There was also a letter addressed to Mr. Williams which stated that the child was born of respectable parents, and requesting him to receive this little child as he had no son. The letter further requested him to give it a good education, and bring it up in the fear of the Lord, and wished him and the child success. The child was given over to the police, and by them conveyed to the Helston Union. STTTHIANS.

The Parish Church. A few days ago the usually quiet village of St. Stithians was enlivened by a public tea meeting, for the purpose of collecting funds for improving the furniture of the Church. The tea was provided by the liberality of the farmers and other residents in the parish. The assemblage was to have taken place on the vicarage lawn, on which spot tables had been arranged for the purpose but as rain fell heavily during the afternoon, and the clouds shewed no disposition to disperse, they had to be removed to the school-room.

A short service with sermon was given by the vicar at 3.30 p.m. At 4.30 the company assembled at the school-room, to partake of the tea, and, notwithstanding the nnpropitious state of the weather, the room, which is a large one, was soon filled to overflowing indeed, numbers who presented themselves were, it is to be feared, disappointed. Several strangers who were present expressed themselves much struck with the manifest good-will and feeling which existed between the parishioners and their vicar. The evening prayer, at 6.30, was read by the Rev. W.J.Edmonds, of Redruth, first lesson by the Rev.E.W.Urquhart, of Budock; second, by the Rev.

The shares which we advertised for sale in East Pool mine, in our last impression, were submitted to public competition on Tuesday evening, at Tabb's Hotel, Redruth. The highest price offered at the auction was 240 per share, the reserved price being 275 per share. They were disposed of, however, after the sale by private contract.

Wheal Jane. From a reliable correspondent we learn the following very satisfactory particulars the last day or two, I paid a casual visit to this mine, and was surprised and delighted to witness the immense quantity of tin stuff being brought to the surface, some of which (and by no means a small portien), was of extraordinary quality. The agent informed me the prospects of the mine are highly encouraging that several bargains were opening splendidly, and the tribute pitches yielding fair average wurk. A pare of four men, he said, had raised upwards of 14 tons of tin during the last month at 5s. 6d.

in the a thing scarcely heard of in the annals of mining. The lucky shareholders may pride themselves in having an interest in such a concern, and the opinion of the agent was, that increased dividends will eventually follow. Botallack Mine. At a meeting of the adventurers, held on the 19th the accounts shewed a balance of 99 16s. 4d.

in favor of the mine. The agents report as follows The cross cut in the 225 south, referred to in our last report, was driven through a lode of copper about a foot wide, since which the level has been driven south about 5 and we have again cut through the lode which is about 0 feet wide, 2i foot of which is tinstuif of fair quality. We have 5 pitches working on tribute for tin and copper and one pitch working for copper on tut work. Higher The 205 is driving north, ground hard and producing little tin but not to value, but we hope soon to find an improvement here, from appearances in the 1 90 and in a winze sinking under this level. The 190 is driving north and opening tin ground.

The 170 is driving east and is pro ducing some tin, but the ground continues hard. The 150 and 110 south on scorran are driving and opening good tin ground. The 150, 130, 110 and 90, are driving east on Wheal Loor and opening tin ground of about the average value. We have a winze sinking under the 110 to communicate with the 130, which is in tin ground. In this part of the mine we have 56 pitches working for tin on tutwork and 11 pitches working for tin on tribute.

Wheal The 65 west is driving, lode of a most promising character, with stones of tin. We have 3 pitches for tin on tut work and 1 pitch working for tin on tribute. We have 1 pitch working for tin over 95. Wheal The 135 is driving west on Tolven lode and at this time is in a disordered state. The 100 is driving east on Wheal Ceck lode and is producing a large quantity of mundic with tin.

The 70 is driving east on branch in this end there is a rich vein of copper and it has a promising appearance we have a winze sinking under this level in paying ground. We have here 10 pitches working for tin and copper on tribute. The 100 is driving west, lode poor. The 88, 76, 64, and 42 fathom levels are driving west and opening paying tin ground. We have also a winze sinking under the 64 in good tin ground.

The adit is being cleared north on the guide. We have 27 pitches working for tin on tut work. The additional stamps axle, recommended in our last report, with the addition to the dressing floors is completed. Quantity of tin raised in the quarter is about 10 tons in excess of quantity stamped and sold." At Wheal Kitty (Sc. Agnes) meeting, last week, the accounts for the three months ending May shewed a credit balance of 1,101 14s.

6d. The profit on the three months' working was 412 17s. 7d. A dividend of 429 10s. (2s.

per share) was declared, and 672 4s. 6d. was carried to credit of next account. At the Prince op Wales Mine meeting, on Thursday, the accounts skowed a credit balance of 1,979 the profit for the quarter was 1,108 4s. A dividend of 640 (Is.

per share) was declared, leaving 1,339 13s. to be carried forward. At the Clifford Amalgamated Mines meeting, on Wednesday, the accounts shewed a loss on the two months' working (May and June) of 3.921, to which must be added the undivided loss at the end of April, 1,058, and bills in arrear, now charged for the first time, 10,102, making a total balance against the adventurers of 15,081, after the call made at the meeting in June (2,880) had been paid. The chairman said that this was a most important meeting he believed now that every known liability had been charged up, and he wished to say, on behalf of himself, that he was quite as ignorant of these immense liabilities as any ordinary shareholder in the mine. After a long discussion, Mr.

J. B. Read, of Penryn, said that he could place as much confidence in the committee of Wheal Clifford as in any body of gentlemen he knew, but he could not help saying he thought there had been great remissness on their part in not having long ago ascertained there were any and what liabilities due on account of the mine. He urged that the only straightforward course to be pursued was to divide the debit balance of 15,081 among the adventurers pro rata, and to make calls forthwith to that amount but in order to make the calls fall as easily as possible, to make them payable by instalments of two, four, and six months respectively. This course was approved by Mr.

Shilson and others, and having been proposed by a shareholder, and seconded by Mr. J. S. Tre-goning, tin smelter, of Liverpool, it was carried by a large majority. This would have amounted to 5 5s.

per share. It was subsequently moved to rescind the resolution already passed, and to pass one making a call of (5,600) 2 per share only, supported by Mr. Down, of Exeter, and others, and this was declared to be carried. It was resolved that at all future meetings a balance-sheet should be laid before the adventurers, and a list of shareholders appended to the circular, in order that it may be seen who are the bond fide adventurers.

Prisoner had himself been a farmer and miller, but was reduced to a labour and worked for complainant.

He had been suspected of Btealing for a long time, and at length the hind saw him leaving work with a bag on his shoulder, which, on examination, contained his master's oil cake. On P.C. 137, Buddie, searching his house at Shops, in St. Columb Minor, found a large number of bags, guano, nails, all of which had been stolen from complainant. He pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to one month's hard labour.

This being the annual licensing meeting, the whole of the innkeepers had their licences renewed, the police having no complaint against any of them. BUDE.

Yesterday, an inquest was held at the county asylum, before Mr. E. G. Hamley, on the body of Hannah Rogers, spinster, aged 35, a pauper lunatic from tho Liskeard Union. Mr.

Adams, medical superintendent, stated that deceased was admitted on the 16th of March, 1863, and was an epileptic patient, and continued so up to the time of her death. He was sent for that morning, and found her dead. She died from suffocation, caused by an apoplectic fit. Jane Rowe, nurse, stated that the deceased was under her care, and was subject to fits. She slept in a room with twenty other patients.

That morning at seven o'clock witness found the deceased dead, and more discoloured than she was now. The jury, after hearing the evidence of the night nurse, who simply stated that nothing occurred during the night to excite her attention, returned a verdict, That the deceased died of suffocation by a fit of epilepsy." LAUNCESTON. Launceston and South Devon Railway. The annual meeting of the shareholders was held at Launceston, on Tuesday, Col. Archer in the chair.

The report stated that notwithstanding the exceptional character of the traffic of the corresponding half of last year, through the visit of the Royal Cornwall Agricultural Society to Launceston, the general receipts had increased, the traffic still showing an upward tendency. The revenue account again showed a surplus, after providing for all fixed and established charges, but the directors recommended the transfer of that sum to capital account, to be applied in discharge of outstanding liabilities. The chairman remarked that their lime traffic had increased, having carried about 800 tons more than last year, but their cattle traffic had nearly melted away, owing to the heat of the weather. He would lay before them the earnings for the three years, which would serve to guide their hopes for the future, and to give the public authentic information with regard to the value of their five per cent, preference stock, which he thought should be substituted for some other securities, with interest on which they see their revenue was charged. Their total earnings for the three years were as follows To June, 1866, 4,932 13s.

He stated that on no former occasion had the officers of the corps been better pleased with the soldier-like bearing and appearance of the men, for they had all, on that day, evidently vied with each other to merit a just meed of praise. He further stated that the returns for the present year would shew that it had been the most successful one, from every point of view, they had passed since their formation in 1859, and he felt assured from the class of persons now seeking enrollment amongst them, they would be enabled to accom yet greater things. PERRANWHARF. Horticultural Society. On Tuesday, the 15th exhibition in connection with the above useful society, was held at Carclew Park, and although divested of some of the attractions which have accompanied the exhibitions of late years in the shape of a poultry and dog show, it passed off on the whole with the most complete success.

The park, which abounds in scenery of an extremely picturesque description, is beautifully situated about a mile and a half from the Perranwell railway station, and is admirably adapted for the purpose of an exhibition of this character, the park itself being a suffi Ringwood, of Penryn, and a most elegant and touching sermon was delivered by the Rev. R. F. Rickards, vicar of Constantino, on the text, What must I do to inherit eternal life. The Church was filled by a most attentive congregation.

The proceeds, we understand, exceeded 11, and, had the weather been more genial, would, doubtless, have been more than doubled. CAMBORNE. Thj; Waterworks Company. The second half-yearly meeting of the shareholders was held at the new public buildings, Camborne, on Thursday, Mr. A.

C. Willyams in the chair. The notice convening the meeting having been road, and the common seal of the company having been affixed to the register of shareholders, the report of the directors, and the statement of accounts were adopted, on the motion of the chairman, seconded by Mr. C. W.

Reynolds. The directors' report was as under Tho directors have much pleasure in stating to the shareholders that since the half-yearly meeting in February last, the contractors have vigorously proceeded with their work. About a mile and a half of 9-inch pipes have been laid from Camborne towards the reservoir, and a considerable length of the distribution pipes laid in the cown. Possession of the site of the reservoir has been obtained and the whole of the leaseholders' interest has been purchased at a fair valuation and paid for. The reservoir has been commenced and will be ready for use by the time the mains are laid to connect it with the town.

The stream at Cargenwyn has been carefully guaged every week during the recent dry weather, and with the stock of water the storage reservoir will hold. Mines. Tons. Amount.

In consequence of the absence, from some unaccountable reason, of productions from several of the local gentry, who have previously exhibited, the exhibition was not so large as on previous occasions, the entries in the various would, during that very dry period, have been ample to have supplied every inhabitant of the town, with an almost unlimited quantity of water. The directors regret to state that there are still nearly 500 shares remaining unallotted, and they earnestly hope that the present shareholders will assist them in placing the shares either by increasing their own interest or inducing their friends to join." The engineers' report said Since our last report and the signing of the contract with Messrs.

These specimens were generally admired, as was also an excellent collection of cut flowers, the property of Mr.

Veitch, of Exeter, the formation and beauty of tint of the flowers being considered by those who were well able to judge, to be almost faultless. In spite of the unfavourable season, the general quality of the articles in respect of which competition took place, was as good, and, in some instances, superior to that of former years. There was a gay display of cut first prize for which was awarded to Mr. W. Tyack, but there was little competition for collections of cut flowers.
