The veteran Harry Clasper arrived in town yesterday, and will look after his old pupil's interests during the remainder of his training. Sadler is still tak ing.in iodine at Brighton, but will return to town on Mon day, and both men will no doubt show at HarryEelley's on 'Monday evening, when the final deposit is to be made, and Chambers ,ies. has to receive £2,5 fur expenst..s, as stipul a t e d i n the irtie N°. 23,225.

The Northern hero sports a white handkerchief with (1;11: hlul border, and a blue stmr in each corner in centre, " Itqhert Chambers, 1866." Sadler's banner is also white, with a bright. blue border, and he has availed himself of the prevailing taste for monograms, a neat J. 11.5., with a pair of sculls, ornament ing each corner. The initials, minus the ptddles, are sug gestive of a prayer-book cov.v; but, on the principle of "better man better name," the coincidence is rather an advantage than otherwise, an I we shall be rind to hear that the Ritualist division have "plunged" on Joe's colours in consequence. Dated this 12th day of November, 1866. MACRORY and CO., Dublin and Belfast. Several steamers aro engaged for the raco, amongst others the Citizen 3, which carries the umpires, and Citi zen N, chartered jointly by Harry Salter and Bob Cham bers, and the union of these popular names will doubtless insuro patronage. Harry Kelley also announces a " fast favourite," which his numerous friends will no doubt avail themselves of. We trust sincerely that all the boats will keep in proper position, that the men may enjoy a free course and no favour, and the umpire a good view of the race on Thursday next. -.7 - . ...---- / L---- ''.- - -----c- ------, - --- Z-- - AW ..--e........?"„f,... ,,, ,,e_ z....... _ .. e r . - 1-:',1:,..:_: - „„. z 0- 4 - -A-t._ • • .. , 1 q T ; 1 1 a e' t)1 { -it - 1 I / ~/.• ZGk .i.---e •-,. ilt:t"t i 9 t' !w • - '. - - ' ' ' . • ' la!, l• --, ,:. ,- - • • . . . , . 1 ...6. ....,- t -••• ..14 .* -, . . . - - ' • . . .- • .... ... • M e jlati . ...

These are genuine remedies, indeed! Persons bedridden for months with rheumatic pains and swellings, after the Ointment has been well rubbed into the affected parts, and the blood purified by the course of these have found themselves restored in an incredibly shoat time to perfect health and ease. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY BOAT CLUB. There is still the usual amount of interest in the trial crews that aro down daily with the president, and specu lation is rife as to the choice that the Ely race will pro duce. It seems probable that the first week in December will be chosen for this "Criterion," but that owing to the difficulty of getting men in condition for the long pull of 1G minutes, one of something like 12 or so will be intro duced, and we think it a very wise determination. The distance on the Ely Course was a perfectly arbitrary one at the first outset—the available clear water was a little over three miles straight, the first race that was rowed being nearly two miles and three-quarters. This distance was shortened in the next year to about two miles and g quar ter, which on a windy day is no mean exertion for a crew in the best condition. The races for the Colquhoun Chal lenge Sculls Cup, presented by the Lady Margaret Boat Club, will commence on Monday with the customary bump ingraces, when we may expect the usual squashing, foul ing, and smashing that form such an attractive part of most bumping races on the Cam. OXFORD UNIVERSITY BOAT CLUB. Now that the fours have been settled, the public in terest is fixed on the trial eights, which will probably be rowed in about three weeks from the present date. The course is below Sandford, where the river is broader than at Oxford, and permits two beats to row abreast. Messrs. Willan and Henley have undertaken the coaching of the two eights, and we regret to add that the river has risen so high as to prevent spectators from accompanying them from the banks. As yet the crews have not been fixed upon, and changes are continually being made, not only in the position which the men severally occupy in the boats, but also in the men themselves. Prince of Wales' Yacht Club. The annual dinner of the above flourishing and popular elub took place yesterday evening at the Freemasons' Ta vern, Great Queen-street. Nearly 50 gentlemen sat down to dinner, presided over by Mr. Cecil Long, the commo dore, supported by Messrs. F. H. Lemann, H. Dodd, Bir nie, Lowe, &c.; the vice-chairs being occupied by Messrs. Richard Sadleir, rear-commodore, and Alfred Turner. The cloth being removed, the toasts of "The Queen," " The Prince and Princess of Wales and the rest of the Royal 'Family," and " The Army, Navy, and Volunteers" were disposed of, the latter being replied to by Major FARN FIVLD. The next toast was " ThoPrinco of Wales' Yacht Club," given by Mr. P. TURNEIt, the treasurer. In doing so he dwelt upon the fact that he was the oldest member present, and also upon the many happy evenings he had spent during the 15 years he had belonged to it. It would be a gratification to him to &mantic a member. He had been associated with the club since its formation, and when he gave them the toast he knew they would receive it well. He dwelt upon the rise and progress of the club, and in concluding, hoped it would continue to rise and progress, especially when governed by such officers as it now had. given by Mr. Tame, and repliiidTalby fir. Cecil Long, in his usual felicitous manner, thanking them warmly for his recent election, and hoping to deserve their support, spite of all his responsibilities. Mr. Sadleir, the rear-commo dore, alsO replied. other toasts followed, and a very pleasant evening was spent, the musical talent being Messrs. Donald Smith, Webb, and the Misses King, the latter being deservedly applauded. The Trades' Reform Movement. -+- DEPUTATION TO SIR RICHARD MAYNE. Yesterday afternoon a deputation from the Trades' Re form Demonstration Committee, consisting of the chairman (Mr. G. Potter), the secretary, and three members of the committee, waited on Sir Richard Mayne, the chief com missioner of police, at Whitehall, for the purpose of ascer taining what facilities he was prepared to afford, in his official capacity, to the committee who have the manage ment and arrangement of the procession of the trades on Monday, the 3d of December next. Mr. POTTER explained the object of the deputation. All they asked was that the police should be ordered so to re gulate the traffic during the passage of the procession as to secure its peaceable and uninterrupted progress, with as little inconvenience as possible to the general public. The police did this on the occasion of her Majesty opening Par liament ;it was dono on the day of-the entry of the Princess Alexandra into London ; it was dono on the occasionof all royal pageants, and on other occasions, such as the volunteer review days in Hyde-park, the Lord Mayor's Show, &c. ; ar.d he claimed the same protection now the people were going to have a procession or pageant on their own ac count for their own objects, which were perfectly legal and constitutional. The other members of the deputation enforced the same views on the commissioner. Sir RICHARD MAYNE would not dispute the right of the working classes to hold their demonstration, but he doubted the wisdom of bringing largo masses of th e p eople together in a crowded city. He could not, however, afford any fa cilities whatever to the demonstration or procession in the manner asked. He might as well at once take charge of the procession and guide it to its destination, which the law gave him no power to do. I f the comm i ttee held the pro cession they must take all th e res p onsibility for what might occur ; all that lay in h is p rovince was to preserve the peace, and interfere where it was broken. Ho had no power to stop the carriage traffic or turn it into another direction to accommodate the persons forming the proces sion, who assembled of their own free will, and worn not bound to be there. In the case of her Majesty gg to open Parliament on the occasions referred to, they were connected with the sovereign power of tha country, and mu st be looked on as national and necessary occasions, for w hi c h the law provided. The proposed procession, if not Llegal, was at an y rate not necessar y or national. He de nied that he had ever given special facilities to either the vo l u nteers or to the Lord Mayor. There would be no op position offered by the authorities to the demonstration, but no sanction could be given to it, which would be the case were h o to o u d lo d whatattach t o was asked. hm, ho a n d would bo Mr. POTTER thanked the commissioner for his cour tesy and candour, but regretted his decision. However, the committee were not prepared to take all the respon sibility that pre pared to take the regutttion of the traffic thei into • r own hands. Severe Gale. SHIELDS, Friday, 9 p.m. Tho seaports are in great excitement. A. strong easterly gale and fearful sea were raging this afternoon. The Scotia, steamship, which left the Tyne heavily laden for Grangemouth, on returning for shelter was pooped, her fires were put out, and her after compartments were filled with water. She was likely to founder, but was got hold of by a tug and brought into harbour. She filled with water, but is safe. To -night, at 7 o'clock, the Tynemouth Life Brigade fired a signal that a vessel was ashore on the south side. The Volunteers were mustered, and the life boats were manned and put to sea. Two vessels are ashore on the south side of the Tyne. One is ashore near the South Pier ; the other, the Sovereign, of North Shields, is on the rocks near Marsden. There are groat fears with r s e o g u a th rd p t i o er th h e av la. e t b te e r' e s n Majesty's ship Castor. c g r a e l w l anti ay' he s ccrueewd o b f y th th e e v o e r s e se w l o o n f hthere The Edinburgh Courant of yesterday says :—" The gale in the Baltic and German Ocean has not abated yet, and the result is that the regular sailings and arrivals of the Baltic steamers at Leith have been interrupted. Five or six steamers are overdue, but, so far as known, they are all safe. The Buda, which bad not been heard of for eight or 10 days, end for. the safety of which there were fears, in consequence of ono of her boats having been picked up at sea and forwarded to Leith a few days ago by way of London, has put into Shields for a supply of coal.

BUN/Pall OMITATI3tooretaTT. WESTON'S GRAND MUSIC HALL, HIGH HOLBORN. woe , . Sole Proprietors, SWEASEY Slid HOLLAND. _. • This far-famed Music Hall, which for many years has been the favourite place of Amusement in the Metropolis, has undergone considerable Alterations, and also been most Ele g antly Redecorated, so as to insure the greatest com fortto the numerous Patrons who, during the last short season, have crowded the above Hall, and expressed their appreciation of the various Entertainments which have been produced under the New Management. The Hall will be inaugurated with a GRAND BAN QUET, on TUESDAY, November 20, 1866, Frederick Strange, Esq., in the chair, and on the following evening, WEDNESDAY, November 21st, the Hall will Re-open to the Public. The anxious endeavours of the Proprietors to please the rapidly growing Musical taste of the British public, has induced them to produce several Novelties as well as the chef d'oeuvres of the most Eminent Composers, the first of which being a Grand Selection from Auber's popular Opera of " MASANIELLO " (by the permission of James Kenny, Esq.), produced on a scale of magnificence never before attempted at any Music Hall. The Great Novelty of the season will be the production of an Entertainment called " The Irish Minstrels," which, while Miscellaneous Entertainments are obtaining favour with the Public, and Foreigners of Continental distinction are (in a measure) superseding our English material, it is strange that the Sister Country should not have found its exponents as regards its Musical Originalities. The Pro prietors, impressed with a knowledge of this fact, present the public with an embodiment of over-the-Channel pecu liarities—The Song—The Dance—The irregularities, are all poutrayed. The Ancient "Carolan" (the almost Father of "Erse" Music) has not been forgotten ; and "Lover," (who is still living) is among the Brightest Musical Illus trators. One of his most beautiful Duets will form the Opening of that which is intended to be submitted for appreciation. It will bo followed by an " Ode to Erin's Bard," par excellence " Toni Moore," and succeeded by such Selections as will be calculated to show the Music of the Ould Country in its integrity, displayed in such a style as will merit the approval of discriminative discern ment. The selection from MASANIELLO and the Irish Min strels, together with a brilliant array of Sensation and Comic talent, including Fred French, Mrs. Bryan (Serio- Comic), Miss Fancourt, PaddyFannin, Patrick Sellers, and Les Freres Risoralis,the eminent Classical Athletes, their first appearance in London, will appear on the Opening Night, Wednesday, November 21st. Arthur Lloyd, Jolly Nash, Harry and Kattie King, and Miss Georgiana Smith- ' son are re-engaged, and will shortly appear ; together with a Galaxy of Talent, which will be announced. In active preparation, Handel's ACIS and GALATEA ; Donizetti's Opera, LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR, and ELISIR D'AMORE. The Band will consist of 30 first class performers, and large Chorus chosen from her Ma jesty's and Covent Garden Opera Houses. Musical Di rector, P. CORRI.

Lombard-street PROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE, FOR HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN, 14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.C. Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Rouses, each night numbers of young women, chilaren, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, etch. have to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sl To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, .1:2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least 1;1,000 more will be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give broad and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving? The smallest donation will be most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf. SUBSCRIPTIONS are earnestly requested, andwill be gratefully received by the Boy. 1). GILBEIIT, D.D.Alio. 22, Finsbury-circus, BA). . - M. THE LOCK. 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 6in. at 300. The mean to be taken upon at-least five targets of twenty shots each. P. 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. n. 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. Wax on bullets is indispensable, but any other lubricant may be superadded or applied to the cartridge, if thought necessary by the competitor. __ - HI. 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 Office, 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 20 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 be 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 selected for merit in respect to its breech mechanism. A third reward of £4OO for the best cartridge. Tho 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. It is clearly to be understood that 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. Mag-azine and Repeating Arms for Infantry will be re ceived and examined in a manner similar to the Breech-- loading Rifles. They must not be less in length than 48 inches, including the stock. The limit of weight for these arms is fixed at 9/Ib. ex clusive of the charges in the magazine. It is indispensable that the arms be made to take a bayonet. Tho 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 £6O each. This sum is to include 1,000 rounds of ammunition per arm. 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.
