The emendations adopted last week in the Volunteer Act and Regulations, having been re considered, the resolutions numbered in our report, 1, 3, and 4, were cancelled, and 6 modified ; and to 9 the following words were added, viz.," on certificate of the command ing officer." It was resolved that the amendments in the Volunteer Act, and regulations confirmed or adopted at the present meeting, be for warded to Captain Croshie Ward, with a re quest that he would endeavour to get them adopted by the General Government; and a suggestion that a Special Committee should be appointed for the purpose of inquiring into this matter. This resolution was in tended to apply to such emendations as should be resolved on subsequently to its adoption, It was further resolved that it is desirable that the capitation allowance be paid in one sum, and not in two half-yearly instalments as at present; that if a volunteer should feel hi Aselfaggrieved by any decision against lnm, he should be able to demand to be tried by a court-martial, if ten volunteers shall sign a requisition convening the same. That a volunteer may be absent from drill on leave obtained by his captain. That the Governor may, after proper enquiry made, revoke or cancel the commission of any volunteer officer. That the. Government' be requested to forward to commanding officers the new books of instruction. Captain Steward then read the report of the last half year. This document was very voluminous, and we give the following epitome of its contents:—The Committee desire, in the first place, to point out that it would be more convenient to themselves and the different companies, that the committee should in future, make half-yearly reports instead of quarterly, and they ask leave to amend the standing orders, to this effect. The report then proceeds in snbstance as follows: The committee are glad to be able to report that the Canterbury Bifle Association is now firmly established, that its laws are consolidated, that it has a considerable fund, and that its first grand prize meeting will be held at Easter, 1867, unless its funds should enable it to have a meeting in September or October next; and they trust that this useful institution will not fail to receive a large amount of support from the public.
