BURYNEB. ARTILLERY EXPERIMENTS AT SHOE- The gloom and fog of the November season have once more arrived, and the estuary of the Thames, deprived of the cheerful glitter of sunshine, has resumed its uninviting and uniuteresticg winter aspect, an expanse of muddy water, with a leaden sky and cold misty atmosphere, and banks whose dead level adds to instead of relieving the dreary gameness of the landscape. In addition, however, to partaking iu the features of the surrounding scenery, the practising ground of Shoebury pos sesses a strange air of weird desolation peculiar to itself, iinparte.l by the remains of countless tar gets—the wrecks of many hopes—with which its surface is dotted. Some are seen standing in hard outline agaiust the sky, others overthrown and strewn iu disorder on the ground, but all wearing the bare and rugged aspect of recent ruin, and wanting those softening touches which attend on destruction wrought by the hand of Time. On Tuesday 44 rounds were tired for range and accuracy at 6 deg. elevation, with the three 70-pounders. _ Mean time of flight. Whitworth 8.4 seconds.

Th e fi rs t s t ruc k par tially over a former shut, so as to vitiate the result. The nose of the shell was blown through the rear of the target. The second shell penetrated 16 inches ' and lodged with its rear 11 inch b e l ow th e faee of the target, bulging the backing and cracking a rib. The result of the experiment confirms the conclusion we arrived at after witnessing the former shell-firing against this target in August last—viz., that a 70-pounder is decidedly too small a gun to encounter VI-inch iron plating of good quality, with backing ou the Warrior pattern. We have before stated that each competitor has been granted permission be the committee to fire 200 rounds, according to any programme he may determine on, ..ud during Wc.inesday and Thursday Arul:troug availed himself of the re gulation to fire with the breech-loader 40 routils with shut the lead envelope of which was attached by undercutting, and 40 rounds with shot the leaden covering of which was attached by previously coating the iron with zinc. On Friday a very important and interesting experiment took place. The three 12.ponoders tired each 10 solid shot, shrapnel (and segment) shells, and lUcouiniou shells. which had been packed iu wet straw for four months. The projectiles were not allowed to i c cleaned or %%irrti, but were inserted in the guns with bits of wet straw adhering to them. /cot the smallest hitch in the firing took place, a result which under such circumstances must be regarded as highly satisfactory, and as decisively establishing the practical efficiency- for service of either etc of the three guns under trial. The blis tering of the leaden coating of the Armstrong breechloader projectiles, once so much talked of. seems overc,itie, whilst the confident predictions of the jamming of the Whitw.4-th shot when rusty are shown to have had no better foinniation than the misconceptums and ignorance of those who gave utterance to them. Perhaps the most important result of these ex periments has been the practical demonstration of the fact that iron or stee/ projectiles mechanically fitted with great accuracy to the bore can be lauded and tired with the utmost ease under all the exi gencies incident to actual service in the field, and that their use. even in conjunction with a twist inure rapid than was ever beton: used, is compatible with the highest degree of durability on the part of the gun, up at least to the dimensions of a TO pounder. Now the French method of tapping on to the projectile three rams of sort natal studs (the plan adopted by Sir William Armstrong in his shunt, which is virtually the French service gun) is not only much more costly but so inueli less simple than coat of shaping the projectile to the bore, that it never can be regarded by the eye of a true mechanic in any other light than as a substitute for accuracy of workmanship, only to Le tolerated as a necessity and dispenses' with as soon as possible. Mr. Whitworth having now shown us that he can unfailingly command the requisite accuracy of workmanship, in our opinion 1:11,11 compara , ive gimcrackery as rams of soft metal studs tapped into iron or steel projectiles must be consigned to the limbo of superannuated expedients, and regarded henceforth as a thing of the past. . - lu taking a review of what lies within the scope of the present series of experiments to determine, and how much will still remain to be accomplished after their completion, we cannot but regret, consi deriug their tortoise-like rate of progress, that other iuquiries, the solution of which is equally urgently needed, were nut prosecuted contentporaueously. l For instance, at the period when these experiments counneeced—in fact even long before-70-poutiders were notoriously supersraled and obsolete as the heavy guns of our tiect ; and it was very well known that 11 less than 9-iucli guns would suffice. Yet &lice this fact has been as patent as the sun at noonday. two years have been suffered to floe away i without any really efficient steps having been taken j to determine the best description of lilted onus 1n tae• no tritium our nary remains cotupara- ' tively smarmed, no new guns being provided for it but the P-inch smooth bores, which with incon eeis-able in fat ,at ion our naval authorities seem de-' termitied to trust to in preference to rifled guns in face of the fact that the destructive power of a rifled gnu with its own projectile is double that of a smooth Luse of the same calibre, whilst it is also capable of tiring, if required, the spherical sic t of the smooth bore with equally as good effect as the latter gun. Why then have we not an Armstrong and Whitworth 9-inch gull under trial tirteg th.ir 2.000 rounds for entiuratice, and exhibiting .it the same time their comparative aceura`T, raw: , , and destructive power A compari.ou of the relative merits of the two gitti, would also be much factlitate.l by having another ", - (1-potinder of each com petitor's tried, the Armstrong of rather smaller calibre than the present gnu, and the IVltitwortli of rather larger, it being probably advisable to have guns of two classes a. regards diameter of bore, with the sat o • seil.t of projectile, or, ill other worth-, .v I a:sities a gun for general use, a special Lr.•in for lon: ranges.

The transmission of powder from the small vessels which bring it trot. the nixonfactories to the msgazinea, and from the magazines to ships for ex port, is felt to be a source of greater danger than the situa tion of the magazines themselves. Magazines in populoxs districts of it, town of Liverpool are also productive of alarm to the latish:tante.

TATTERSA.LL'S—MoNDAT. For a grand crush, endured with perfect good humour for some three hours, nothing can beat the subserintion-room at Tattersall*, on the Houghton settling day. On the like occasions, after Epsom, Ascot, Goodwood, Doncaster, and the Second October meetings, an equally large num ber of members may enter the subscription-room ' but it naturally happens that the last week in October being somewhat chilly, the " lawn" is deserted for the more hospitable precincts of the room, small though it is. It was thus we found things this afternoon, and although under such circumstances the transaction of busi ness was no sinecure, there was such a practical disposition on the part of all and every to conclude the adjustment of accounts, so satisfactorily begun at the Victoria Club in the forenoon, that, notwithstanding the difficulty of loco motion, the majority of the account' were finally disposed of, and even those that were not were left in so healthy a slate that those who bad to receive considered their " sheets " as good as " squared.* Money was never more plentiful at " the Corner," for although several large win ners were named, the Marquis of Hastings being the prin cipal one, the winnings were spread over so large a surface that no single individual could be said to have been " hard hit." A few attempts were made at betting, but the trans. actions ware few and intermittent. Liddington is in great force for the Derby, 600 to 100 being the first bet booked. Many who came prepared to back the favourite stood out for the same price almost until the close of the room, when finding that it was almost hoping against hope they were glad to take half a point less, and the last bet we saw noted was 5j "monkeys" about Mr. Merry's horse. Breadalbane was frequently inquired after, but only to elicit offers of 12 to 1. The favour with which Mr. Naylor's horse was received after his victory in the Cri terion did not appear to abate a bit, for although be opened to-day at 20 to 1, taken to 1301., he was subsequently backed at lessening prices, until he settled down at 100 to , (o ff ered). The only other animal mentioned was Brother ' to Mime, about whom 1000 to 30 was taten. Closing prices. LIVERPOOL AUTUMN CUP. 10 to 1 on the field ,off's DERBY.

A meeting of the executive committee was held I yesterday at the Town-hall, Manchester ; the Earl of DEBIT presided. There were also present Loed E. Howard, 1 M.P., Lord Egerton of Tattoo, Colonel W. Patten, M.P., Major Egerton Leigh, the Mayor of Manchester, Messrs. Hugh Mason, G. Ashworth, S. J. Stern, W. Rathbooe. jun., G. L. Ashworth, J. Platt, J. Worrell, H. B. Parnell, It. H. Hutchinson, M. Ross, and J. W. Machin, hon. sec. Mr. Rewlinson, C.E., was also present. The Hort. SECRET/13T reported that 230/. 7s. sd. had been received during the past week, and that the balance in the bank was 101,667/. 16s. Ild. The noble Citsiitirarr, referring to what passed in the committee last week respecting the comparatively small number of factory operatives employed on public works, said that the communication on the subject which, by direction of the committee, was sent to the Manchester Town Council, had not yet been officially answered, though he understood it shortly would be. In the mean time, without desiring to enter into any controversy with the town council, which ought to be avoided, it was thought by Sir J. Kay Shuttleworth, and he (Lord Derby) concurred in the opinion, that it might be as well to notify to relief committees that incases where money had been ad vanced to their own localities under the Public Works Act, they should put themselves into communication with the local authorities for the purpose of stimulating the employ ment of cotton operatives on the public works. It seemed to him (the Chairman) that neither party thought it their duty to take the initiative in this matter. The local autho rities said they were not bound to look out for these unem ployed factory operatives, and the relief committees did not think it necessary to send to the authorities lists of factory workmen fit for employment; so between them, as there could be no doubt whatever, only a very small number of operatives were at work under the Public Works Act. Sit James bad forwarded him a number of sugges tions, which he recommended should be embodied in the form of a circular and sent to the several committees. The Chairman read the suggestions, and after some con versation the following circular, embodying them, was una nimously adopted, and ordered to be forwarded to the relief committees :—" Central Executive Committee has how the first supported the plan of public works for the relief of distress in the cotton districts, and, since the passing of the Public Works (Manufacturing Districts) Act, has, by its regulation for the distribution of the Central Relief Fund, endeavoured to promote the success of this measure, as a means cf providing work with wages for bodies of men who had become indigent by no fault of their own, and likewise of relieving the difficulties of the email shop. keepers by giving greater activity to the several forms of skilled industry necessarily employed upon muni cipal improvements. The embarrassment now experienced in factory work may be comparatively transient; but if so it will probably recur at intervals with more or less severity. And, as the funds confided to the Central Executive Committee, though husbanded with great are to meet such crises, are much reduced, it now becomes more than ever important that the several district relief committees should put themselves in communication with the municipal and other bodies having locally charge of public works, in order to secure work with wages for as many otherwise unemployed factory operatives' as possible. I am. therefore, to suggest that, whenever a loan bas been granted under the Public Works Act, the district relief committee should—where this has not already been done—put itself in immediate personal communim tion with the municipal or other body having charge of such loan, io order to organise adminktrative arrange ments by which the district relief committee may be enabled most effectually to carry out the intentions of the legisla ture as to the employment of factory operatives on such works. The Central Executive Committee, in order to en courage factory workmen in such efforts for independent , subsistence. have provided a suit of warm clothing for thou who are likely so be long engaged on such work, and ar ranged &leo to lead waterproof boots to those working in water. They are disposed, under suitable regulation., to i continue to provide such clothing .^ _„. Mr. Htui MAsoN said, that before leaving the subject of public works he should like to mention a circumstance which occurred a few days ago between the Poor-law Board and the Moseley Board of Health. The Moseley board had projected public works, and obtained a grant of money under the Public Works Ac!. The day the grant was made, men were put upon the works, but iu a few days after the grant was withdrawn. The CHAIRMAN—How withdraw° ! Mr. MASON sail the Moseley board had received a notice from the Poor-law Board intimating that the money granted could not be used in the manner in which it was being ap plied. There appeared to be a technical difficulty. The Mossley board had juriedictioe in two counties, sod a small portion of the money would have been expended upon works to Yorkshire. to which county the Public Works Act did not refer. This difficulty was foreseen at the outset, and a deputation from the Moseley board waited on Sir George Grey and Mr. Villiers on the subject, and those two minis ters sanctioned the appropriation of the money in the way proposed by the local hoard. lioder such circumstances the board thought it was rather hard the money should b withdrawn, and great dissatisfaction existed in the Moseley district generally. He had recom mended an interview with Mr. Rawboson on the subject. Mr. FA RNALL raid that the Public Works Act Sid not ex tend to Yorkshire, but legal advice was being taken by the Poor-law Board to see if the difficulty in the case of Moseley could be overcome, and it was not impossible that that even yet the grant to that district, might be fioul:y sanctioned. Mr. FARNALL presented his weekly report, stating that the increase of persons receiving relief in the 27 unions in the week ending lhi. 22nd was :2,247. In reply to Lord EDWARD Ho sc *RD, Mr. FAR-NALL added that he had sent circrJars to 184 poor law medical officers to the cotton districts inquiring as to the state of the people's health in their several localities, and from 120 of terse circulars thus far returned he was justified in stating that the health of the district was on the average rather better than usual at this period of the year. Io reply to Lord EararroN, he promised that Mr. Corbett's reporta on the state of health at Stalybrulp and Preston should be furnished if possible next Monday. la the coarse of a conversation which followed, Mr. HeGIl MASON stated that upwards of 1,303 opera• fives were employed on public works at Ashton, and that a greeter number could be employed if materials could be obtained. Mr. Itxwbissns stated that many districts to which loans of public money had been granted had done their duty in the employment of factory operatives. Colonel I'AI - re:: said he had received a letter from Lord Devon, inquiring whether the Devonshire Collecting Com mittee might appropriate any portion of its funds to a different purpose than that for which they were subscribed. He had taken upon himself to reply that in the present unfavourable condition of things in . Lancsubire, the execu tive committee would not assume the responsibility of sane tioniog such an appropriation. In this reply the committee universally concurred. The CHAIRMAN inquired what answers had been received to the circulars addressed to the various collecting commit tees in the country as to the balance still at their disposal. The Him. SECRETARY said that there hail been ittis com• mitten which had collected funds in the United Kingdom, to the officers of which circulars had been sent making the netenary inquiries ; 171 replies had been received, which slowed, so far, that of the committees which had replied those in Ireland had remitted the full amount subscribed ; that in Scotland two committees bed 404/. Ills. 6,1. in hand ; and that is England and Wales twentydhree committees bad retained balances amounting to lla. This did not, however, include the Sheffield, Leeds, and Halifax balance', nor the balance of the committee to which Colonel Patten had referred, but did include 11,1701. os. 4,1. in the hands of the treasurer of the linulford committee. He hop.) soon to he able to lay on the table the replies fsom all the committees. The following grants were made from the general relief fund : T.

A memorial in favour of the adoption of the 'a, and another from the Licensed Victuallers Association asking that its adoption be deferred for six months, were read. Mr. Clint, chairman of the Watch Committee. moved the adoption of the act, which had, he ,aid, been of great benefit to good order and morality in London. The motion was seconded by Mr. .1. Stitt, who said that upwards of 1,0111 persona were convicted during the lest six months of offences committed between the hours of one and four. Mr. Bairstow (an botelkeeper) said that the adoption of the act would inflict great hard ships upon dock labourers and others ; but Mr. Robinson (a brewer) said that the keepers of "bight houses" would alone be injured. The very heavy rains which have fallen for the last ten days (says the Srot.man) have swollen the riverr, brooks, and stream s of the tiniest nature to no unusual extent ; and, within the lest few days, the rain being from the east, mpecially in East Lothian sod Berwickshire, where all low lying fields are flooded. On Satur day, ducks were swimming about in turnip fields is the neighbourhood of farm deriding,. Potatoes in places were under water, and it will be some time now before tamers will be able to proceed with their seed sowing. The consequence of the heavy fall has been to swell out all earthen embankment., and to such a degree in some places that they have given way. This has been the use on the down line to Berwick be tween Cockburnspeth and Grant's House,whvre a portion to the extent of about two lengths of rail has fallen in.

The complainant stated that she was living with her parents at No. 4, Clayhall-place, Bow. Un Saturday night she wes in the Bow road with another girl, and the prisoner came towards them and gave each of them a printed tract. They thanked him and passed on. He demanded a penny for his tracts from each of them. Her companion returned her tract to him, and she was about to do the same when be swore at her, and said he would have a peony. She wu frightened, roe away from him, and threw the tract on the ground. He soon overtook her, and gave her a " punch" with his fist on the eye sod knocked her down. He then kicked her three times on the side and hurt her very much indeed. She screamed, and called out," Murder." and be said if she made the least noise he would pull her heart out. She did continue to make a noise, and her companion fetched a police-constable, and gave the prisoner into custody. Charlotte Bannister, a girl of 13, confirmed her friend's' statement. James Prescott, police-sergeant, 1 K, stated that on Saturday evening he was by the last witness and saw the girl Spicer crying, surrounded by 20 or 30 respectable persons, who were indignant with the prisoner, arid said he had shamefully ill-used the complainant. Several persons in the crowd said the prisoner had pushed tracts in their faces. and because they would Dot buy them loaded them with abuse. There were four blackguards all acting in a similar disgraceful manner OD Saturday evening. The prisoner made a lame defence, and said he had a "drop taken" on Saturday night. Mr. Partridge said the prisoner was a most unmanly mouedrel, and sentenced him for an "aggravated assault" to three mouths' imprisonment and hard labour. NAVAL AND MILITARY.

Key. C. 8., to-day. The guns to be tried are the Armstrong wedge-breech loading and muzzle.leading guns and the Whitworth muzzle-loader, but owing to the non ! arrival of the 'Whitworth cartridges the trial to-day was ' confined to the two Armstrong guts. Eighty rounds were fired from each in the following order:—First, twenty rounds (independent tiring at 20:00 yards target) from the wedge gun in 15 min. 20 sec.: a breeching carried away during this trial, but was very quickly shifted. Second, twenty • rounds independent firing from the muzzle-loading shunt gun in 19 min. 1 sec.: another breeching carried away, but was replaced without delay. Third, twenty , rounds from the wedge gun in 10 mitt 23 see., when every ' thing worked well. Fourth, twenty rounds with the shunt gun in lii min. 1i rite. The working of the guns was Betio factory, and this concluded the independent firing. Then followed forty rounds of quick firing in the direction of a target at the same distant* as during the foregoing trials, but the guns were not accurately laid. First, twenty rounds with the wedge gun in 9 min. :10 sec. Second, twenty rounds with the same gun in 16 min. 4.lsec., some time being loot in this trial owing to the wedges working stiffly, but the difficulty was easily to be remedied by the application of a ,ttle water. Third, twenty rounds from the shunt gun in 16 min. Pi sec. During this trial it was found neceoaary to damp the sponge once to soften the fouling. Fourth, twen'y rounds from the same gun in 13 min. 13 sec. From these trials it will be seen that the breech.lowler worked to considerable advantage in point of time. The firing was good throughout. The trials will be resumed to-morrow. t'LLERS' 3IATCH FOR 1001.—A sculling con test between Joseph Heath, of Greenwich, Lod George Cannon, of Blackwell, was decided yesterday in three straiked boats, the distance being from the Halfway-house to • boat moored off Black wall.stairs. Heath, who has been throughout the favourite, trained at Gnsenwieb, while Cannon took up his quarters at the Feathers. Two steam boats accompanied the race—the Naiad end Martin—each with a numerous company on hoard. Captain Warren, of the Sea Swallow, was appointed referee, and the accessary preliminaries having been arranged the: men rowed off to Urea- stations, both appearing in excellent condition. A very fair start was effected, each iii torn having • slight lead for the first quarter of a tulle, when Heath drew his boat half a length in front, and in that position coutioned rowing mare than two miles, when Heath bored his op ponent so close to the shore (without actually fouling) that Cannon was obliged to cease rowing, and Heath woo as be LAND,4I.IPs ON THE NoRTH EASTERN AND NORTH BRITIsH RAIL IV AT. —An accident to the recently formed embankment near Sherburn Station boa unexpectedly in. tempted the direct route between Newcastle and London on the North &Ater° trunk line. An extensive slip took place no S.itortbly (says the Nro-rtutle Chronicle) at the embankment, followed by so 'orlon* a subsidence of the summit of the battery that the rails were left suspended in mid-air, and all traffic along them necessarily ceased ; al though it is confidently expected the breach will be repaired in a few days. The destruction of the embankment is attnburable to two agencies. The recent heavy and long continued rains no doubt have had a good deal to do with the sudden failure of the earthrrn deposit ; but it is believed that the primary cause has been a •' pit creep"—that is, a sudden subsidence of some old workings of Sherburn Col liery. The accident took place about 12 o'clock on Saturday, and the result was that all traffic on the main line between itarlingtou and Newcastle was suspended. The 11.50 s.m. train from York was sent round by Bishop Auckland, as were the succeeding passenger and goods trains.

A bill in Chancery had been filed against the prisoner, and his client had been made a defendant or party with the prisoner, and the complainant had published in that very bill a letter which Mr. Stasoard had sent to Mr. Chidley immediately on seeing the adver tisement, stating that he was the holder of warrants simi lar to those described in the advertisement, and was pre pared to deliver them to a rightful claimant, showing that Mr. Stannard was willing to hand over all the warrants to which be had no claim.
