Nelson Volunteer Rifles.—An adjourned meeting of No. 1 Company was held in Mr. Jervis' Long Room last evening, when the Rules assented to by the Governor were, after some trifling and necessary alterations adopted by the Company, and will be read this day on parade. The Nelson Baud were in attendance and played a few pieces in a style which drew enthusiastic and wellmerited encomiums from the Company. Arrangements are being made to have them attached to No. 1 Company, and we understand that they will appear with them this afternoon on parade. As this day is fixed for the appearance of the Company-in Uniform, it will'no doubt attract a considerable portion of the fair sex, amongst whom some we nope may be found patriotic enough to present them with their virgin colors.
