The SECRETARY of STATE for WAll, is desirous of receiving PROPOSALS from Gunmakers and Others for BREECH-LOADING RIFLES, either repeating or not repeating, which may replace the present Service Rifles in future manufacture. The following are the conditions considered essential in military non-repeating Rifles:— A. WEIGHT. Not to exceed 91b. soz. without bayonet. B. LENGTH. To be 51 inches, with short stock, measured from the hollow of the butt-plate to muzzle. __ c. WEIGHT OF AMMUNITION MADE UP. Must not exceed 61b. 4oz. for sixty rounds as packed for service. D. CARTRIDGES. Must carry their own ignition. E. SIGIITS. The foresight must be such as to admit of a bayonet fixed according to the present system. F. STOCK. Must be such as to carry a light metal cloaning•rod, and allow a sling to bo used. G. RECOIL. Must not exceed that of the Enfield Rifle by more than 10 per cent. x. THE ARM AS A WHOLE. Must be as little liable to injury bylong-co . utinned firing, rough usage, and exposure, as the naval rifles converted to breech-loaders on the Snider system. To be as capable, also, of being used without accident by imperfectly trained men, and of being manufactured in quantities and of uni form quality. i. THE AMMUNITION AS A WHOLE. Must be as little liable to injury by rough usage, damp, and exposure in all climates, as the Boxer cartridge for Snider's converted Enfield rifle—also as little liable to acci dental explosion as the same cartridge, and as capable of being manufactured in large quantities, and of uniform quality. X. CALIBRE. Optional. L. THE TWIST AND FORM OF GROOVE. Optional. THE LOCK. Optional. N. RAPIDITY OF FIRE. Capable of firing at least 12 rounds per minute, without aiming, the cartridges being arranged on a table. O. ACCURACY WHEN FIRED FROM A FIXED REST. The arm must give a mean figure of merit of not more than 36in. at 1,000 yards, 30in. at 800 yards, 12in. at 500, and bin. at 300. The mean to be taken upon at least five targets of twenty shots each. r. TRAJECTORY. Not to require at 500 yards an elevation of more than 1 deg. 30 min. .Q. FOULING. The shooting not to deteriorate more than 20 per cent. at 1,000 yards after firing 250 rounds. R. PENETRATION. The mean penetration of five shots not to be less than that of the present service muzzle-loading Enfield Rifle — viz., 12 half-inch elm planks, which have been soaked 48 hours in water. Distance 30 yards. s. LUBRICATION. Wai on bullets is indispensable, but any other lubricant may be superaddod or applied to the cartridge, if thought necessary by the competitor. No arms will be received without the usual proof marks. Specifications, and drawings of the methods proposed, stating the probable cost per arm, and accompanied by a finished specimen arm, with 20 rounds of suitable ammu nition, should be sent to the "Director of Ordnance, War Offi c e, Pall-mall," on or before the 30th March, 1867. The specifications and specimen arms will be considered by the Ordnance Select Committee and its associate mem bers, who will be selected by the Secretary of State for War, and who will, after firing the 2 0 preliminary rounds, select and recommend for further trial such of the systems as may appear to them sufficiently promising, rejecting all such as may not bo considered to offer sufficient merits to warrant their being included in the competition, the con ditions of which are stated in this advertisement. Each accepted competitor will then be required to furnish for experiment, at Woolwich, six arms in strict conformity to the specimen arm submitted, with 1,000 rounds of am munition per arm, within four months after date of de mand Each competitor will be required to disclose to the committee the exact nature of the lubrication he may em ploy. A sum of £3OO will be paid to each of the accepted competitors, to cover the expense of the six rifles, and of the supply of ammunition required. The Secretary of State offers a reward of £l,OOO for the arm which, on combination of all qualities, is considered by the committee to be the best submitted. A second reward of £6OO for the arm which, while at taining a satisfactory degree of excellence in other particu lars, is selectod for merit in respect to its breech mechanism. A third reward of £4OO for the best cartridge. The qua lities which will be principally taken into consideration in awarding this prize will be economy of manufacture, power of sustaining rough usage, freedom from deterioration in various climates, and general serviceability. The shooting qualities of the cartridge must be fair; but as they may depend upon the rifling of the arm with which the cartridge is associated, they will not be so much con sidered as those above-mentioned. I is clearly to be understood that t under no circumstances will a competitor be entitled to more than one prize ; but such prize will be irrespective of any reward which may be given to the inventor of the arm finally adopted into the service. IV MAGAZINE AND REPEATING ARMS. _ . . Magazine and Repeating Arms for Infantry will be re ceived and examined in a manner similar to the Breech loading Rifles. They must not bo less in length than 48 inches, including the stock. The limit of weight for these arms is fixed at 9ilb. ex clusive of the charges in the magazine. It is indispensable that the arms be made to take a bayonet.. The Secretary of State offers a reward of 300 for the best Magazine or Repeating Arm produced that fulfils the above conditions ; and in the absence of experience does not at present define the standard of accuracy or other conditions to be fulfilled before such an arm can be adopted. Those Magazine orßepeatingArms, which are accepted for further trial, will be paid for at the rate of .ZGO each. This sum is to include 1,000 rounds of ammunition per arm. v. The Secretary of State will take care that no ingenious novelty produced in answer to this advertisement shall be adopted into the service without proper acknowledgment, and that the name of the individual with whom it origi nates shall be recorded in connection with it. if the rifle to which the first prize is awarded is adopted into the service, it will bear the inventor's name.

THE MORNING STAR AND TIIE SUFFOLK.-Mr. Edwards is the owner of the former, who was steered by Mr. Bl`Cormack, while Mr. Clarke piloted his own nag, the Suffolk Star. They had to trot in harness one mile, for £50,. the Suffolk Star being allowed a start of 100 yards. Morning Star was in the best condition, and what little ;peculation took place was in favour of Mr. Edwards' nag. On starting Morning Star gained rapidly on the Suffolk lady, caught and passod the latter at 600 yards, was never headed, and won by full 150 yards. The Suffolk Star broke repeatedly; in over-reaching she cut herself badly. '• PRICE.... 4d.

Upon the proprietors of betting lists tho case will fall more sericus than on tho book makers, for while they will be called to pay upon the second animal in each race, they will find groat difficulty in re ceiving from those whom they paid to on the winner; and it would not be surprising if they refused to disturb their transactions. However, when Admiral nous comes to London some official steps will be taken, and a meeting of the Jockey Club called for an early date to settle the ques n have d. _, tion.

At the next fence The Rogue headed Oscar, the Ballet Girl dropping into the fourth place, and they ran thus for about half a mile further, when Oscar again got in front, maintaining the lead till about half a mile from home, when he began to exhibit signs of dis tress.

About half a mile from home, however, they recommenced racing, and a fine finish en sued, ending in favour of Liston by a head. THE SOILED DOVE CASE. The interest in the Soiled Dove case, far from abating, is culminating to its highest pitch, and keeping all her former backers in a very unpleasant state of excitement, as she has been examined by Professor Spooner on the part of the Jockey Club, and by Mr. Mannington, of Brighton, on be half of Mr. Nightingall, and they have both reported her to be a three-yr-old, rising four; thus confirming the posi tive assurance of that fact which 1 made a fortnight back. Gradually her history developes itself, and it would seem she was originally consigned in some shape to a solicitor at Northampton, who sent her to Richard Boyce's, at New market, to be trained, and who tried her to be a wretchedly bad animal, as another 2-yr-old which accompanied her, and about whom there is no suspicion, gave her 211 b. and beat her in a canter. And, although she has won since, it has been in such very moderate company that, taking her real age into consideration, she must only bo looked upon as a common plater. Boyce, from a species of etiquette which prevails among trainers, and which, in my opi nion, is very absurd and erroneous, never looked in the mare's mouth ; nor did any of her subsequent trainers ; so, if it had not been for old Nightingall, the discovery as to her age would probably have not been made so early ; although it was strange Golby should have made the objection previous to seeing Nightingall himself, who came up with a view of getting rid of his new purcha so. Old Charles Marson, who trained so many years for the Marquis of Exeter, and recently had charge of the racing establishment of General Shirley, near Brussels, being the person who, it is said, brought over the animals, and through whose talking the secret first got out, will of course be summoned before the Jockey Club to give au explanation of the circumstances under which ho became possessed of the mare, and then, of course, some of notification wili be made on the subject. The committee of Tattersall's, who will have to decide the question of the bets, will no doubt act on the precedent set them in the Bloodstone case; in 1844; which is precisely analogous to that of Soiled Dovo. It may not be recollected by the pre sent generation that in that year a Mr. Newman ran a two• year-old called Bloodstone for the New Stakes at Ascot. He came in first, ridden by Bell, who was o rdered to pull him up, but failed to do so, for which ho received the approbation of the Jockey Club. Old John Day ran second with Old Eng li land, ridden by the present John, and Sir John Gerard's Fantasa was third. • When the race was over John Day objected to the winner for being the wrong ago, 'and the stewards, the late Lord Rosslyn, and the present Marquis of Exeter, and Lord Stradbroke, after having had the colt exa mined • and found to be a three-year-old, disqualified hint the next morning. Mr. Newman, however, not being satisfied, served a notice on the stakeholder not to pay over the stakes, and an interpleacier action was tried at Guild ford, in which John Day was made defendant, and got a verdict, the bets in the case going to the backers of Old England. The affair made'a great sensation at the time, but the difficulties attendant on the settlement were nothing in comparison with what they promise to be in the Soiled AQUATICS. ROYAL LONDON YACIIT CLUB. The annual dinner of the great metropolitan club took place on Tuesday at Willis's Rooms, St. James's. Nearly 150 members and friends were present, presided over by Mr. E. W. Edwards, the vice commodore. After a most excellent dinner the chairman proposed the usual loyal and patriotic toasts, which wore immediately succeeded by that of the evening, " Prosperity to the Royal London Yacht Club," in proposing which the worthy vice commodore said that during its very lengthened existence no club could boast of such steady and continuous progress ; its resources were never more flourishing, while its amount of tonnage spoke for its importance, and the character of its members for its position. With the kindest feeling he was sure they would receive and give due honour to the toast. Mr. 3. GOODSON, M.P., then proposed the health of Mr. Arcedeckne. He expressed the regret ho felt at that gen tleman's absence, whose presence had so many years cheered them on this occasion of their annual banquet. The progress of the club had shown that his services had been of the most efficient character. He was at all times ready with the best wishes and the best feelings to aid the club in every way in his power, and his agency bad most materially tended to bring them into their present proud and popular position. Although absent his services were not forgotten, , and would ever be appreciated by those for whom he had devoted so much time and energy. Mr. EAGLE having replied for the commodore, and pointed out how worthy he was of the tribute of respect paid to him, Mr. Alderman and Sheriff WATERLOW proposed " The Health of Mr. E. W. Edwards," their chairman and vice commodore. Ile said they all had to thank him for the deep debt of obligation they were under to him. There were few who, besides other marks of his kindness, had not experienced his munificent hOspitality on board his beautiful screw yacht Stella, which had been again and again placed at the disposal of the club. Much of their progress was attributable to the great attention he paid to the club, and the club were all ready to testify it. Mr. EDWARDS, in a very excellent speech, thanked the members for the kind feeling manifested towards him, and expressed the pleasure he had always felt, and should at being prog of re s s i a o n n y sb u soeultdo be t h e ful c l l y ub sb ; a b re u d t b h y e t a b ll ou t ► the other officers. g im bt es th f e ee m l' er i i n t of _ .--- " The Health of the very able Rear Commodore," a most business and painstaking yachtsman (Mr. Charlwood), was then given, and followed by other toasts.

No Scotch paper could go above a whisper in alluding even to the vilest quack that over duped and slew, and even a whisper would almost to a certainty cost a good many hundreds of pounds. They n g d an e fis r a a h l t m ehr o eyi s r t manage these things better in England." THE EASTERN ooiboats Fytst especiallybsai followed ll i om E i wl s eet — and de r by r ly‘ l : mte e haaet dhhreeee continue has been early completed on t he eastern coast.

Fresh s h o t s have made £ 5 to £ 9 per last ; full fresh fish, £l6 to £l9 per last ; and salt stuff, £9 to £l6 per last. As in stances of the large catches made during the last season, it may be stated that two boats owned by Mr I. Suckford, of Great Yarmouth, and named respectively the Commission and the Petition, have lauded 167 lasts (or 2,191,400 fish). The boats in question,' as will be inferred from their names, were laun c h e d d ur i ng th e re cent sittings of the Great Yarmouth Ele c tion Commission. The Lowestof t boats have also had a good season. The Scotch boats have pretty well all made up, and are waiting for favour able winds to waft them to their homes. LORD CHIEF *JUSTICE BOVILL.—Sir William Bovill, as is his custom, rode across country f% his resi dence at Maplesdon, on Monday morning, to oking station, there intending to take the up-train for London. He had just arrived at the station when his horse suddenly rushed among a number of trucks in a siding, threw its rider, and fell. Sir William was immediately assisted, and, although apparently roughly shaken, he proceeded to town by the train. We understand that Sir William had recently purchased the animal which he rode, and that at the timeit bolted it was affected by what is known to Vete rinary surgeons as " megrims," a disease, or delusion, of the brain.
