The appearance of the military, who were promptly called out by the sheriff, was sufficient to overawe the mob, and the disturbance was speedily quelled.

Yet all these sink into comparative insignificance compared with the single advantage of no two sections of the Continent being compelled to maintain armaments to secure the one from the aggression of the other. The full weight of this truth is known to the American people, and has been the moving spring of their policy in pre venting the attempted formation of a Latin nation, under MAxtmtuAN's rule, in Mexico. The British Colonies of North America excite little jealousy in the United States, for the universal feeling of the citizens of the latter country is that the drift of events will float these Provinces as States into the Union before many years have expired. This is a consummation which neither England nor her Pro vinces should regard with any feelings of dread. England's object should be to draw as close as pos sible the bonds of friendly alliance with her vigorous offspring, and to regard with pride her own child stepping out into the world as its acknowledged leader. England cannot grow in the same ratio as America. As well might the frog, by puffing itself out, attempt to attain the dimensions of the ox ; and if England herself cannot maintain the leading place among nations, the next best thing that could happen to her is that her kindred over the water should, in racing parlance," take up the running." —Anglo-American Times.

Some experiments were made at Shoebltryness yesterday before the Ordnance Select Committee, and some distinguidr_td officers of the two servic .s, with a view to test a new turn-table and mechwaistu increasing the lateral scope of heavy guns maunted behind shields. An experimental shield was erected, formed of planks, with three embrasures, and within this shield a 13-inch rifle muzzle-loader was mounted upon the usual carriage, standing on a turning-table revolving on much the same principle as those used in railway stations. The gun alone weighed 23 tons, and altogether the platform had to support a weight of close_ on_ 30 tons. It was turned easily by a winch worked by two artillery men, and the gun was thus removed from one em brasure to the other. The turn-table is 22 feet in diameter, and has "racers" of the usual radii and length to carry the guns, these racers being pro longed for some little distance upon the solid ground in order to give a greater sweep to the gun with, out increasing the diameter of the turn-table. The shield, which for actual service would be of iron, really gives the segment of a ship's side -with three rt holes, or the segment of a turret, of which_tUe. 1 111 :, Asa • RESIIAII LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY, 37, Old Jewry, London, E.C.

T ho Rolls Court was again occupied yesterday with argu ments in reference to the supplemental charter of the Queen's University. Mr. Lawson, Q.C., resumed his speech, and declared that. the petitioners might as well complain of the Crown con ferring degrees on an altogether different body as adopt the course they had done. No doubt they would have a right to complain if the persons to be admitted to degrees were to become members of the corporation; but they could not receive any such distinction, and therefore the whole foun dation of the petitioners' suit failed. Mr. Lawson proceeded to show that the petitioners could not complain of any in terference with their rights, and eited authorities to prove that unless they were injured as individuals by the act with which they had found fault they had no right to com plain of it; that there was no one but the Attorney-General who could take action in the matter on the part of the public ; and that, therefore, the petitioners had no right which would enable them to set the court in motion. designed by Capt. Coles for service afloat, or with the gun alone so worked, may materially increase the efficiency of our land defences. Unfortunately the weather yesterday prevented the application of any severe testto thisparticularconstruction. One blank cartridge was fired, and the turn-table worked freely afterwards. But, 'owing to the fog that hung over the water, it was impossible to see whether any Yes . sels were in the line of fire, and it was therefore deemed unsafe to fire shot or shell. The chief dan ger to the proper working of the turn-table would arise from concussion following the discharge of the 701 b. of powder used in firing the 13-inch gun. The liability to jambing after the explosion of this heavy charge from a shotted gun must be tested by future experiment. A trial was to have been made of the modified field service C percussion fuse, de signed by Captain Sleeson, R.A., for Armstrong segment shelle. The modification consists in the adaptation of the principle of the head of Pettman's general service percussion fuse. This experiment, however, like the rest was prevented by the fog, OSBORNE'S STILTON EST ON'S GRAND MUSIC HALL, HOLBORN. Is THE Cheese ! Proprietors, SWEASEY and HOLLAND.

The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR 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. 11. 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. SIGHTS. The foresight mustlxisUCTl as to admit ofa bayonet fixed according to the present system. Y. STOCK. 3111 St be such as TO Carry a hgui, Laxob.O. aLaarass e -i.cull, en a allow a sling to be used. G. RECOIL. Must not exceed that of the Enfield Rifle by more than 10 per cent. H. THE ARM AS A WHOLE. Must be as little liable to injury bylong-continued firing, rough usage, and exposure, as tho 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 anti of uni form quality. 1. 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 Sni,ler'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. K. CALIBRE. Optional. L. THE TWIST AND FORM OF GROOVE. Optional. at. THE LOCK. Optional. x. 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 Gin. 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. 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. Wax on bullets is indispensable, but any other lubricant may be superadded or applied to the cartridge, if thought necessary by the competitor. No arms will be received without the usual proof Larks. 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 ho 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 f or merit in respect to its breech mechanism.. A third reward of £4O O 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. 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. Magazine 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 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 Ann produced that fulfils the above conditions; and in the absence of experience does not at i nresent define the standard of accuracy or other conditions to be fulfilled before such an arm can be adopted. • Those Magazine orßepeatingArms, which are accepted foi• further trial, will be paid for at the rate of £6O each. ;Phis sum is to include 1,000 rounds of ammunition per arnlo tT Title Secretary of State will take care that no ingenious produced in answer to this advertisement shall be adoptednor t 7 into the service without proper acknowledgment, and t h 3, t the name of the individual with whom it origi n nat intoef s s h ee tier ' be recorded in connection with it. to which the first prize is awarded is adopted rice it will bear the inventor's name. itt It j: ST. GEORGE, liajoreral, Director of Ordnance. War Pelee, 186 g. Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held on the body of the unfortunate boy, Arthur Allen, whose death occurred under the me'ancholy circumstances reported yesterday. The prisoner was brought into the inquest room by a police-constable, and was placed at a table in the centre of the room, next to the chair reserved for the witneassa.— The atte4tiou of all present was immediately concentrated upon him, but he maintained surprising firmness and composure for some time. He is veryyouthf ul in appearance, with no trace of malignant passion iu his countenance. His eyes were swollen with cry ing. After the examination of the witnesses had proceeded for a short space the prisoner's firmness gave way, and frequent bursts of weeping showed that he realised the position in which he was placed. His distress was greatest when the officer produced the hammer and the knife with which the murder had been committed. It seems that the prisoner has a stepmother, and he asserts that before he left home she used him very cruelly, beat him very fre quently when no offence had been given, and was fond of indulging in the malignant prediction that he " would come to the gallows." That such would be his fate seems to have been accepted by the un fortunate lad as a fact from which there was no escape. He says he "always felt that he should murder somebody, but he did not know who it was to be." He was a fatalist ; and having accepted as something inevitable the belief that he should come to the ignominious death of a murderer he made no attempt to resist the temptation that constantly beset him to bring about its realisa tion. He had contemplated the murder for a week, and on the fatal night the weapons he used were secreted beneath the pillow on which he allowed his victim to repose in unsuspecting confidence. He sat up during the whole night in theted, watching the poor lad. His stepmother's prediction seemed to ring in his ears, and he resolved, just as the day dawned, to commit the deed. He says he " re peated the Lord's prayer, and then struck the blow." That blow took effect on the left side of the neck, just beneath the ear, and the injury caused by the hammer was increased by a severe stab with the carving knife. The blow was so violent that the blade snapped in half. Two other wounds were in flicted with the hammer, each of them fracturing the skull ; but the first was the immediate cause of death. The verdict was " Wilful murder," the jury regretting they could come to no other. Extension of the Union over the Continent of North Amei ica. Thepolicy which actuates the citizens of the United gf fag to oprpad tho Iji lino Aver the Continent of North America has a sound foundation. A re public, which shall embrace the whole area of the Continent, has a better reason for its formation than the mere idea of grandeur and the ambitious wish-- said to be implanted in the breast of every American —of raising his country to the rank of the leading nation of the world. The tendency to split and form separate governments; originating in the diverg ence of interests, of character, of manners and customs, may or may not be too strong for the wise course which actuates the people to permit no nation to grow upon that continent which may become inimical and dangerous to themselves. The spec tacle presented by Europe must tend strongly to in fluence the statesmen of America in pursuing the course they have markedout. Europe is incorrigible in its armaments. War seems to beget war. The aggrandisement of one country excites the jealousy of another, and the fears of a third. Small princi palities are swallowed up, with an open disregard to international law, the feeling of the inhabitants, and to the rights of individuals, which painfully show weak powers the fate that in all probability lies before them. A vast addition to the nu merical strength of the Russian army is no sooner announced than Europe becomes alarmed by a plan for re-organising the French army, which will give to the EMPEROR the power of bringing into the field nearly all the able-bodied men in his do minions. In the face of rumours which have a sinister bearing against the KAISER'S dominions, Austria, though on the verge of bankruptcy, is com pelled to prepare for threatened events. Prussia knows that she is now alike an object of hatred and jealousy. Thus the Seven Days' War, instead of pacifying Europe, seems only to have stirred into a fiercer flame the hot burning embers of strife. These armaments are maintained and increased in the face of empty exchequers and credit, each year running lower and lower. Each nation maintains an army it has not the strength to support, and it is compelled to look to extraneous aid to make up its annually increasing deficit. The withdrawal of labour from productive sources is a two-edged sword, cutting both ways. Not only is the expen diture increased in the maintenance of an additional body of men, but the nation loses in a far greater degree by being deprived of the products of the labour of the men thus substracted from its industry. Indeed, the proportion may be said to be two to one. For instance, if an additional hundred thou sand men costs the exchequer 0, - 000,000, and there are no troops maintained at so low a rate in Europe, the loss in the productive power of the population from which these men are taken would represent double the sum, or £6,000,000, causing a total loss of £9,000,000. It is not dif-' ficult to foresee the end of all this. The intoler able nature of the burdens will precipitate the catastrophe, and drive the countries into war to prevent bankruptcy, or an internal explosion against the unbearable taxes. If this increase of armament becomes general throughout Europe, it will be scarcely possible to maintain peace for more than a year. With the example of Europe before them, Americans may well strive for the one paramount object of bringing the North American Continent under one central rule. The Constitution of the United States is admirably a'iapted for attaining this end. It combines in a remarkable degree local self-government, with the centralisation of a general government. A system such as that in force through out the Union has never yet been tried, and those who predict eventuallytlaat failure cannot ground their predictions on the experience furnished by history. Whatever may be the evils generated by a single nation embracing in its area a vast continent, these evils cannot be so great as those emanating from a number of independent States bordering on each other by mere imaginary lines. To allow the mani fold evils of Europe to be reproduced in America, the result of these evils starin g them in the face, would show little wisdom on the part of the American people. The gains of one tariff and customs regulations extending over the continent, of one system of coinage, weights, and measures, laws and language, ono broad railway and traffic plan, ' Mr. Sullivan, Q.C., followed on the same side. He began by expressing himself as very much surprised at the man ner in which Dr. Ball had argued some of the propositions which he laid before the court. What was the meaning of such phrases as the " autocratic masters," applied to the senate of the Queen's University? Ho would venture to say that in the whole course of equity proceedings no such suit had ever been instituted. They were asked to restrain the royal condescension in favour of the public at large. In no country was there such a proceeding on record. Though they were to search the books and records of the darkest and most illiberal times, he would defy man to point out a parallel to this proceeding. Mr. Sullivan then proceeded to argue that in the creation of all corporations there were two things to be borne in mind, and those were, that, as the Crown could create corporations, so it could also modify them. Dr. Law—l appear hero on behalf of several respondents, my clients, Lord Rosse, and some of the minority of the senate, to show the justification of the course upon which they have acted. Mr. Lawson—They have no right to appear here. They can have no interest in it. Dr. Law—l appear for special respondents, Lord Rosso, the Bishop of Killaloe, Mr. Shillington, and others. Mr. Sullivan—They are individual members of the senate. Dr. Law—We have taken the best advice, and we be lieve this proceeding of the senate to be illegal. Mr. Dowse, Q.C.—I appear and say ditto with Dr. Law. Mr. Harrison, Q.C., then replied for the petitioners. He contended that the 13th section necessarily and ex ti ter mini vested in what they called the governing portion of this body the power to perform that most vital and essential act which belonged to the corporation alone. If over there was a case in which the. full consent of the corporation was necessary it was this. It was alleged forsooth that this new charter was in favour of public right, and to carry out those matters of policy which his learned friend Mr. Sullivan said he for ono would always st.and up to support. But there were many men who would be found to stand on the other side, and if the intelligence of the public were to be consulted, he thought it would be a strong thing to say that the principle of united education, which had been in operation here for the last 30 or 40 years, should be destroyed by any document such as that he held in his hand. The vital distinction between the former charter and that of 1861 was, that in those of 1830 and 1852 the corporation was made to consist of the chancellor, vice-chancellor, and senate ; whereas by that of 1864 a new constituent element was i n troduced —namely, the professors, graduates, and students. His lordship asked what was the privilege conferred by that charter on the students. He had heard no clear answer. Mr. Sulli van had said, forsooth, that it conferred the dignity of being a member of the corporation without giving the students a voice in it. And, according to their argument, the senate could tamper with, surrender, or destroy the constitution behind their backs, or without the consent of tho students and graduates. It was contended that none of the new graduates introduced by the supplementary charter would become members of the corporation ; and secondly, that they would not become members cf the convocation. And it was admitted that if it could be shown that the effect of the new charter would be to flood the corporation with new members who were not contemplated originally, th e senate could have had no power to accept such a charter, and that it would require legislation to effect that end. But it would be found on coming to consider the charter more closely that that would, in fact, be the result of it. Those new graduates after two years, could, according to the terms of the definition of the members of convocation in the charter of 1864, become members of that body. Being members of that body they might be elected to be senators, and, being senators, they were be yond all question members of the corporation. There were no words in the charter of 1866 defining the members of the corporation. They were necessary in that of 1864. Why were they omitted in the supplemehtal charter ? Was it in consequence of the hurry is which this docu ment, intended no doubt for a legacy, from which great and lasting benefits were to be derived by this country, was launched so suddenly upon the world ? (A liugh.) The Master of the Rolls—l do not offer the slightest opinion on the merits of the case ; but, supposing you are right in your construction of the charter, can I grant you any relief at all ? Must not this petition stand over for the Court of Chancery ? Mr. Harrison—My lord, the necessity for the interlocu tory motion arose in this case from the course that the senate has thought fit to pursue and adopt in this case. They were cautioned when that meeting took place at which the resolution was passed affecting to accept the charter not to do that act. They were cautioned after wards against passing any rule which would assume that that was a valid acceptance. They despised in the most contemptuous way by their conduct and acts all those warnings and cautions; and to-day, my lord, at the bar actually, their leading counsel proceeded very motion n edto quote the rules which they have passed pending this this court. I can only say that I think it would have been more decent for those gentlemen, no matter how high their station, to have refrained from issuing any rules till your lordship's opinion bad been taken on the matter. I see by their advertisements in the papers that they are to hold their matriculation examination on the sth Jan., and there fore, unless restrained by this court—assuming that we are right, and that your lordship has jurisdiction—the degrees may be conferred which we say would be an injury to us, and the injury would bo committed before the Court of Chancery could possibly determine this case. After some further remarks by the Master of then on the inconvenience of dealing with the case on an to a inter locutory motion, the further hearing was adjourned Friday. to of tho Mr. Longfield, Q.C., applied yeestecrodrapyus , in dir t e h e e te d Court Queen's Bench for a writ ofh P rison, c ommanding him to bring up today th e governor of Mountjoy conv i ct Donis Dowling Mulcahy, in order that he might join m body of a conciliung to have the writ o f e rror set down fo r argument . The application was grant e d. The report of the nomination at Belfast, as published in the local papers, shows that Mr. M`Mechan received as little merc y from his opponents on that occasion as he did when he attempted to make known his political principles at the private mooting which ho called. e The Wexford election," writes the Evening Mail, "is another proof that the politics of the hierarchy aro distaste ful to the masses of Irish county electors. What Tip perary indicated in this respect Wexford corroborates, and Waterford will, we trust, place ultimately beyond all pos sibility of denial. The contest was fought by Mr. Hennessy at an advantage ; but his general ability, his readiness in speech, his former Parliamentary labours, and his active canvass, did not suffice to turn the scale. The energetic manner in which the priesthood urged his claims drove Over, we have no doubt, a number of popular votes to his ORPHAN WORKIRG SCHOOL. Yesterday the Lord Afayor presided at a special meeting of the governors and subscribers of this charity, held at the London Tavern for the purpose of electing 10 orphans whose parents have died of cholera. The report of the committee of management stated that that body at their first meeting after the outbreak of cholera in the east of London, upon mature consideration deemed it to be their duty as the managers of an orphan asylum at once to offer aid and assistance in order to mitigate, as far as they possibly could, the distress of the suffering and bereaved poor, by admitting at a special and extra election 10 orphans whyse parents, or father only, may have died of cholera. The circumstances at once called for prompt action, and although very little bad been attempted in the way of appeal, yet a sum exceeding £3OO, or abut a fourth part of the sum required, had been contributed towards the ex pense of maintaining these ten additional orphans. The committee require the sum of £1,250 to meet the expenses attendant upon the admission of these 10 orphans, and they therefore appeal for au addi tional £l,OOO to defray the charges upon the gene ral income of the charity which this special effort will involve. The LORD MAYOR expressed the pleasure he felt in presiding at the meeting, which was the first ho had attended since his appointment to the civic chair. lleconsidered one co u ld h ar dl y b e presen t without being impressed with the great value of such institutions as the Orphan Asylum, especially at the present time, when society was scarcely re covered from the shock occasioned by the visitation of cholera, which left many children fatherless or motherless or orphans completely. is was forcibly struck by the fact that last July 40 children were elected to the benefits of the charity, and next year 40 more will be received, so that with the 10 chil dren who are to be elected at present the charity would have taken 90 children in 12 months, and augmented the number of inmates to 400. A large demand would be consequently made on the funds of the charity, and he was sure the public would not allow a deficiency in funds when they saw the vast amount of good which was being done. The insti tution conferred great benefits on society by taking under its sheltering care children who, if left ne glected, would in all probability become victims to every species of vice. The Rev. J. PArrEsoN, M.A., moved, and Mr. J. WALTER seconded a resolution thanking the com mittee for what they had done, and commended the charity to the earnest support of the public. A cordial vote of thanks was given to the Lord Mayor for his kindness in presiding. The polling then commenced. NEGLECT OF It is too well known that the case of poor Mr. SNIDER is by no means a solitary one. W e h ave recently heard of another that comes still nearer home to the business and bosoms of Englishmen. Mr. WILLIAM HENRY JAMES is one of the first pro moters of railway improvements in this country, and yet, in the midst of their great success, this gentle man is suffering from penury and neglect. As long ago as 1821 he was the first man in England to sug gest the introduction of tubes in locomotive engines, by means of which their speed has been increased from the original rate of five or six miles an hour to the present one. lle is also the inventor and patentee of other improvements in the English railway sys tem. At the age of 70 Mr. JAMES is now living in Peckham, enduring the greatest poverty and pri- vation ! d ;A an u t E a s ge i s la s s uc c h on a f n err i e n ci . venWtihveengoennieusthaisnkths civilised world, it seems in on the business of the civi be should besoonneg everyl neglected. d h . a n l ci N . re y call benevolence !
