They were preceded by a fatigue party on Monday, consisting of twenty boys, under the command of Mr. Orr, gunnery instructor, and Mr. Thomas, who is in charge of the catering department. They at once proceeded to the camping ground, and were soon engaged in erecting the tents for their comrades. The site of the camp is at the lower end of the park, on r.early the same ground occupied three years ago. There are three large sleeping tents for the boys, a store tent, the captain's tent, and an officer's tent, with other small tents. Captain Bremner, who made himself so popular on the first visit of the boys to Oswestry, inspected the camp on Monday evening and ex- pressed himself as satisfied with the arrangements, after which he returned to his ship on duty.

— THE VOLUNTEER CAMP AT TOWYN. I would be difficult. ;° describe the enthusiasm which the arrival of three battalions ot the Reserve forces has evoked amongst the people ill this district. The Volunteers had been timed til rnteh Towyn about 3 o'clock on Saturday night, but !oi. before that hour the approaches to the Cambrian Railway station were througed with eauvr specta- tors, aud when the train steamed in cheer after cheer of welcome rent the air. The officers and men loooked sprtice and smart, and in good condi- tion to bear the hard-hips of a camp life. The Welsh Battalions came from 16 iit head- quarters, one portion via Carnarvon and Afomven and the other through Chester and White mrch. The officers and men join in expressng their appre- ciation of the v in which the railway company carried out their portion of the work. The different companies marched into camp headed by their respective bands and the inevitable Welsh goat By the'way a. pretty little s'orv is attached to tlii. goat, which unlike" its famous predecessor in the 23rd Regiment, is a teetotaller "on principle." The owner of the animal, when handing it over to the colours, made a special appeal to the officers in these words, I do hope yon will not give the goat beer, for I do not believe in giving dumb animals strong drink, and I am afraid beer would do the poor goat harm." Capt. Thomas calmly assured the owner that his wishes would be respected and that the goat should be fed on bread and milk. But even the commands of one's officers arc not always obeyed, for in spite of all "Hilly" was tempted. He was on the point of being called upon to drink a glass of beer on Sunday when Dick the goatkeeper stepped np, took hold of the tempt- ing glass and drained it, remarking, It will do the goat harm I think T had better take Ii: myself." Whether the goat will develop a liking for in- toxicants is a matter of doubt, but we can state that it is already passionately fond of tobacco, which it chews with the relish of a veteran. The camp is situate in the Morfa Marsh, fully a mile "from the spot where the Artillery were en- camped. A liner place could hardly be found on the Welsh coast. The high hills in the back ground form a pretty sight, and especially the Happy Valley is seen to advantage, whilst on the other hand there are the broad waters of Cardigan Bay, which this week lias been dotted with a large number of small pleasure yachts, evidently come to view the camp. The officers and men have fallen in love with the camping ground and are especially high in their praises of the beach, which is within two minutes' walk, and the sands which stretch for four miles on either side. The officers like to com-, pare Town with Blackpool, where there has been an encampment of the Welsh regiment for a num- ber of years. One officer told me When you have your houses and your shops built you will knock Blackpool into a cocked bar. The waves and the beach, and the scenery and everything are simply grand." There are in camp three battalions. The Welsh bnttalion, which was formerly one, has been divided into the Flintshire battalion and the Carnarvon- shire battalion, which included two companies from Anglcsen. The number on arrival was 1,000 strong, but since then each train has brought in its quota, so that the two battalions now number about 1,400 men, whereas on inspection day (Friday) 1,500 more are expected. The chief officer is Colonel- Commandant B. G. Davies-Cooke, V.D.. A.D.C., who is in command of the two battalions. Under him are Col. Rees, Cranarvonshire; and "Major Roberts, Flint. 'I lie adjutant of the Flintshire battalion is Capt. Gough, of the 23r3 Welsh Fusiliers; whilst ft he JUiujtant of the Carnarvon- shire battalion is Capt. Were, of the East Lanca- shire Regiment. The other officers in camp are Majors Sparrow, Hughes, V.D., and Dyson V.D.; Capts. Ashley, O. Thomas, Sarson, H. J. Roberts, Hurbutt, Keatinge, Stubbs, Keere, Harwood (2), Fielding, Mills, Roberts, W. H. Edwards, Breese, and F. A. Dew Lieuts. J. B. Griffiths. J. Browne, Henderson. Cooney, Knox Foote, Vennbles, Williams, A. W. Jones, Pritchard, the of Uxbridge, Leask, K. S. Kelly, M. P. Kathbcn Ralli, Maxstead, Lloyd Griffith, Fox, Russell, P. R. Williams, A. W Menzies, P. Joues, Milling and Farrington Surgons-Capts. Pritclintd..(ones, Morris, T. E. Jones, and Frazer; Surgeon- r, ieuts. Davies and Hughes. The chaplains present are Revs. W. Nicholas, M.A.: Evans, ill.A. J. Davies, B.A. J. Edwards, M.A.; Hughes, M.A.; and Griffiths, M.A. The Marqnis of Anglesey, who has recently taken up his residence in Towyn is present also, and is most popular with the whole regiment. On Sunday there was the usual church parade in the morning, which was largely attended, not only by the men, but by visitors to the camp. Rev. W. Nicholas, M.A. (Flint) and Rev. J. Edwards, M.A., the renowned Welsh barb "Gwynedd" officiated. The sermon was highly appreciated and the Welsh z, singing particularly enjoyed. There was a sacred concert on Sunday evening, when the band played selections of music, and a male voice party, nnder the leadership of Captain Roberts, gave some excellent renderings of Welsh hymns. "Duw Mawr y Rhyfeddodan Maith," was taken up in a truly reverential spirit, and when the whole crowd united in singing O Fryniau Caer Salem," the hills resounded with the echo of Welsh singing which cannot be heard in any other part of the Kingdom. Monday was devoted to steady battalion drill, and Tuesday to an early drill, an afternoon drill and a battalion drill. Wednesday was something similar with a brigade drill at three o'clock. To-day (Thursday), there is going to be a march out and probably a sham fight in the hills between Towyn and Aberdovey. On Friday, the Welsh Regiment will be inspected by Col. Wilson, commanding the 23rd Regimental District. There are camp concerts held every evening, and the usual social functions take place. The inhabitants of the town are doing all in their power to make the visit a happy and an enjoyable one and par- ticularly is this the case with the local cricket club, who have arranged a two days' match with the officers, which we have no doubt will be greatly enjoyed by all. There was a musical evening at the officers mess, and to-day (Thursday) there will be an At Home" with music. The regiment has with it its own harper, namely Mr. Owen Jones, Llanerchymedd, who is connected, like the Welsh goat, with the "K"C'ampany. Mr. Jones is con- sidered to be one of the most distinguished harpists in the Principality. The Earl of Chester's Battalion also arrived in camp on Saturday evening. As we mentioned in our report last week, Quartermaster-Sergeant Davies had been directed with an advance party to put up the tents and make the necessary provision for the arrival of the battalion. All the preliminaiy work had been completed most satisfactorily before their arrival in camp. The brigade this year con- sists of 21 officers, 46 sergeants, 17 band and buglers, and 476 men, making a total of 560. The 1st and 2nd Shropshire and the Hereford Battalions have been debarred from going into camp with this brigade owing to an outbreak of smallpox having occurred in the districts from which they would have been drafted. The brigade is commanded by Colonel Butlin, the Commander of the 22nrl District, and Captain Piper is the Quartermaster. There have been erected on the ground 134 tents and five marquees. The com- panies assembled at the Drill Hall, Chester, at two o'clock on Saturday where they vere inspected as to clothing, &c., by their respective captains, and after the usu-il movements had been performed tho battalion, headed by their band under Bandmaster Outhwaite, mnrched to the General Station. Th^treets were thronged with spectators, who wisffd them a pleasant journey, and heralded their departure by loud and continious chporilJQ". Towyn was reached after a few hours' ride. The men formed into line outside the Station, and msirched in first-class style to the camping ground. The officers ill command, besides Col. Ashton, aro Col. Butlin, Majors Hazlehurst, Smith. Dutvon. Capts. Harrison, Gayman, and otherE. 1 n consequence of the late hour the men arrived in camp they spent, their time in the concert rooms until the last post," was sounded. On Sunday Reveille sounded at 5-30 a.m., and there being no drill most of the Volunteers enjoyed ti bathe and went for walks to phiees of interest in the locality. After breakfast the men fell in for church paraue, which was eomln<*ced by RDr. Preston and K. Addoes. The latter intoned tho ptaye's, arid Rev. Dr. Preston, in the course of his remarks, which were founded in Revelations, To the Almighty Go(]." the Revelations predicted a great war. He fully believed Sir A. Alison when h(. wrote in 1867 that a greav war was impending, a id Constantinople might within the life time of s ime of them be restored to Christendom."

Tiie week's work* commenced in earnest on Mon- day morning. Reveiih: sounded at 5 30, the men got up in good time and paraded for drill at 6.45. -vhen a battalion drill under Colonel Ashton took :>iace. At 10.30 they were put through the cere- monial drill, Colonel Batlin, the Brigadier, being i>recent. In the afternoon the attack was very creditably goue through. The weather has been I very hot but the health of the men keeps good. INJUSTICE OF RURAL RATING. In a very able article on this subject in the National Review for the month of July, a typical case is taken of the way in which the rates are actually paid in a rural district. Taking a large parish in which it is assumed that there are re- sident a retired stockbroker worth £ 5,000 per an- num, the owner of a boot factory, a gentleman far- mer farming 1,000 acres, a squire, a parson, a doc- tor, and the usual compliment of small farmers and labourers, the distribution of the rates would be I somewhat as follows: The rate being two shillings in the X. The farmer with 1,000 acres, rated at -PI, an acre, would he called upon to pay on XI,000, or £ 100, when possibly his whole income would be much lower than that £ 1,000. The parson with an income in tithe of say £500 per annum, would have to pay on that amount, or X50. Tho stockbroker with his C5,000 per annum, would pay on the value of his villa rated at say C150 per annum, or £15. The doctor living in a house of £ 50 or so, but earning, perhaps, £ 1,000 per annum, would be rated on zC50 and so pay £ 5. The boot manufacturer would be called upon to pay on the rating of his house and factory, possibly £150, or £ 15 in all, when possibly he is earning an income of £1,000 a year. The yeoman farmer with I fifty acres of grass land rated at £2 per acre, would have to pay £ 10 per annum, although he notoriously makes no more than zC70 or JESOa year; while the retired police inspector with a pension of X70 a year, who lives in a near little cottage, only pays on zElO per annum, or XI. As to the squire, he pays on the rating of his house, on the home farm and any other farm he has in hand, while, as his income is less to the extent of the rates paid by his tenants, he may be said to pay additionally the rates to the extent of his income derived from land. The whole thing is inequitable and unjust. Why should the big farmer with his £1,000 per annum pay XIOO, the manufacturer with the same income pay Z15, and the doetcr also with the same income pay only £ 5? Again, why should the stockbroker with his income five times as large as that of the farmer, pay one-seventh as much in rates; or the yeoman with the same income as the ret.ired police inspector, pay £ 10 a year, and the latter onlv.El ?

-+- AGRICULTURAL LAND RATING BILL. The following extracts from the reply of Mr. Goschen to Sir W. Harcourt on the second reading of the Bill are taken from the report in the Times On the accusation of class legislation, he said The right hon. gentlemen speak of class legisla- tion, but what has been the policy of the party op- posite but to set class against class, and upon every occasion when they could be dragged in to attempt to set town against country, to set the farmer against the landlord, the labourer against the farmer ?" As to Sir W. Harcourt's attempt to minimise agricultural depression, he quoted from the minority report of his own Commission which said t- We think ihe above facts constitute a claim ¡ for further assistance from the State," and re- minded the House that in the last Parlia- ment Sir William had recognised the de. I pression and promised that "he would gladly assist it if only he had the money." Dealing with his accusation that the landlords would not lift a little finger to redeem the situa- tion." Mr Goschen quoted from the report of the Commission to show that they had reduced their rents 10, 20, 30, 50, and occasionally 80 per cent." As to the argument that the relief granted under this Bill would go into the pockets of the landlord, Mr Goschen demonstrated the foolishness of that assertion, and quoted Sir H. Fowler, the Chambers of Commerce, and the farmers themselves, in sup- port of his statements. With regard to the giving of relief to rural districts where the rates were com- paratively light, and not relieving the more heavily rated urban districts, the answer was, that in the agricultural parts expenditure was a compulsory minimum expenditure, for which those who pay the rates are unable to see any single positive advantage to themselves," whereas, in the great towns, siieli as Wolverhampton, for instance, where the rate was 7s, one-half of that was for improvements. of which nearly every person in Wolverhampton can see the actual benefit. Money has been spent, and readily spent, on artisans' dwellings. The artisans are better housed; the streets are better lighted and paved there are fine public buildings; there the urban ratepayer, at all events, can see the gratification of what I may call his municipal ambition." Passing on to the argu- ment that the Bill would conduce to extravagence because—it was alleged-there would be no longer any niotivo for economy," Mr. Goschen, whilst strongly denying that such would be the case, said it came from a party who have endeavoured to phee on all local authorities as many of those who do not contribute to the rates at all as they possibly can. The Parish Councils Bill was a case in point. "The whole principle of representation and taxation," said Mr. (loschen, "has been changed. The princi- ple used to be luxation and representation. Now it is taxation with very little representation, and much representation without any taxation." In reply to Sir W. Harcourt's desire to know on what principle the State should assist a suffering indus- try, Mr. Goschen said It is certaiulv the duty of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, where an industry is subject to peculiar burdens, to find out where the shoe pinches, and to believe it if possible by the remission of 'those burdens. The right hon. gentleman askcu whether I would give relief to shipbuilding. Certainly I would if taxes had been placed upon ship- building, and shipbuilding might be relieved by the remission of taxation." Referring to the credit Sir William had taken for what he had done for the farmers under Schedule 13, Mi Goschen said the relief amounted to a sum of but £70,000 or £ 80,000 per annum. Compare that snm with the £ 2.000,000 that we are offering then now. That is the whole of the advantage which the right hon. gentleman opposite offered, and he talks now of this being simply a dole, and says that this is a relief of no importance. Of that let the farmers judge."
