VOLUNTEER FIRING.

A Company Match was fired yesterday morning and afternoon. The squad in the morning was under Captains Craig and Slater, and the afternoon squad under Lieutenant Stansell. The conditions of the match were ten men a side; ranges, 150, 200, and 300 yards, five shots at each range; small target, any position. The rifles used were the new snider carabine. The following were the scores made:-~

We learn that the men are very well satisfied with the new arms, and from the scores, especially that of Sergeant Fox, who made 57 out of a possible 60, it is evident that they are a very serviceable weapon. The match yesterday was for engraved pewters, the cavalry being the challenging party,
