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. 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 must be such as to admit of.7a bayonet fixed according to the present system. F. STOCK. Must be such as to carry a light metal cleaning•rod, and allow a sling to be used. o. RECOIL. Must not exceed that of the Enfield Rifle by more than 10 per cent. THE ARM AS A WHOLE. Must be as little liable to injury by long-continued 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 S nideee con vortail 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, s. CALIBRE. Optional. L. THE TWIST AND FORM OF GROOVE. Optional. m. 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 6in. 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. n. PENETRATION. The mean penetration of five shots not to bo less than that of the present service muzzle-loading Enfield Rifle— viz., 12 half-inch elm planks, which have boon 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. _ - 111. 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 bo 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. 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. 1V 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 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 or Repeating Arms, 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 s h a ll b e adopted into the service without proper acknowled gmen t, 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.

They so perteczly re- , emb e the natural teeth as not to be distinguished fro ‘i the originals by the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require t,e extraction of roots, or any pain ful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastica tion. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in mastication. 52. Fleet-street. At home from 10 till 5. WE ST ON'S GRAND MUSIC HALL, HIGH HOLBORN. Sole Proprietors, SWEASEY and 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 Elegantly Redecorated, so as to insure the greatest com fort to the numerous Patrons who, during the last short season, have crowded the above lall, 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'cruvres 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 be followed by an " Ode to Erin's Bard," par excellence Tom 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, Paddy Fannin, 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 Tale which will bo announced. In active preparation, Handel's ACIS and GALATEA •, Donizetti's Opera, LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR, and ELISIR D'AMOIIE. 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, I'. Coasts.

Yesterday a conference of the members and friends of the National Reform Union was held in the Man chester Town-hall ; Mr. George Wilson presiding. The large room of the hall was quite filled with the attendance of delegates appointed by meetings of the various branch associations all over the country, most of whom have been reported from time to time during the past six weeks. The assemblage in cluded Mr.. Forster, - M.P., Mr. Baines, M.P., Mr. T. B. Potter, M.P., and Mr. W. Lawson. The proceedings commenced at half-past 11. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business of the conference, referred to the circumstances under which they were met, and to the individual objects of the meeting. The bill of last session failed, and another Government was installed in the place of the Reform Administration, and in all probability, if they were defeated as the late Government was, they would ap peal to the country. Now, he knew a great meeting of Reformers who thought at one time that it would have inutAl bobt,c2-;S tho IA4-n A iiminiQt.rntion had ap pealed for itself. (Hear.) But he was not quite sure, looking at the great gain which had taken place to the Reform cause since that opportunity was afforded, that they had not rather gained than lost by the change which took place. What course should they take now ? He would observe that they stood in a much stronger position than the reform question had held for the last 30 years. Formerly, within the last year or two, the only organised association in the country which was doing effectual service, and which was the product of many conferences, was that association. He was now glad to see another and a powerful association in the field, working, it might be, with different objects, but working honestly in the same direction. (Hear, hear.) Other associations were being formed in almost every district in the country ; and the daily press at this time was fuller with able articles on the subject than ever he recollected during the whole history of the reform agitation. He must say that of all the powerful engines at work for the success of this cause, there were none greater than those which were in the hands of those very able editors who were doing the work of the reform associations from day to day. (Hear.) Their strength lay in this fact, that out of 29 millions of population, by the most forced construction, of the representation, not five millions were represented either directly or indirectly through those who were their relations. Twenty-three millions and a half were as much ex cluded from all participation in the election of members of Parliament as if they lived in Nova • Scotia or Australia. The distribution of political power was equally unfair. 160,000 or 170,000 voters returned one-half of the House of Commons. In these two facts lay their strength. Let them work together with one will during the coining win ter, so that when the demand was made upon them during the next session of Parliament for support they would be able to say that the great measure of William IV. should be eclipsed by a greater one passed in the reign of Victoria. (Loud cheers.) Mr. R. KELL, of Bradford, moved the first reso lution :—" That, regarding the combination by which the Government Reform Bill was defeated in the last session of Parliament as factious, and as especially dishonourable to a section of the House of Commons who profess to be of the Liberal party, this conference calls upon all friends of reform to do what they can, by every law ful means, to prevent the tactics of this faction from being repeated with success." He thought it undesirable that long speeches should be made at a business conference, and he would content himself by observing that he thought the opposition to the late Reform. Bill in the House of Commons was amongst the most dishonest oppositions that ever characterised that house. For this reason— that- there had scarcely been any public utterance on this question from either Tory, Whig, or Radical, which had not conceded the fact that some extension of the franchise was desirable. Mr. Lowe was the only man in the House of Commons who stood up and directly told the country that it would be an evil and a wrong to consent to a extension of the franchise. But from the way in which his remarks were received by the whole Conservative party, and not a few professing Liberals, it was perfectly right and fair to say that the opposition to the bill was entirely dishonest. (Hear, hear.) Ile remembered that during the debates Mr. Horsman asked where he and his friend could sit. They were not at home on the Liberal side, and they were not prepared, it seemed, to sit on the Tory side. He (Mr. Kell) had had the advantage of going to America. In that country they were in the habit of holding camp meetings, and besides the rostrum for the speakers there was a bench for anxious inquirers, more espe cially for backsliders. (Laughter.) This particular seat was called' the anxious bench," and he thought if the question turned up again next session a seat on a similar plan might be set apart for Mr. Hors man and his friends. Mr. R. JoliNsoN, of Manchester, briefly seconded 4d. STAMPED sd. the resolution, which was supported by Mr. Robert Cooper, of Manchester, and Mr. R. ID. Rusden, treasurer of the National Reform Union, and was unanimously adopted. Mr. HUGH MASON, of Ashton-under-Lyne, then moved :—" Seeing that the history of the Tory party, and especially its conduct daring the recent session of Parliament, affords no reason able ground fOr expecting at its hands a genuine and substantial measure of reform, this conference would counsel the people carefully to watch the proceedings of the Government of Lord Derby in relation to this question ; and whilst giv ing to any proposals they may offer a fair and candid consideration, to beware of being entrapped by any mere semblance, however specious, and to oppose with all their might any bill which is not calculated to rectify the present unequal and ano malous distribution of political power, and to make the House of Commons fully and honestly.repre sent the will of the nation." He did not think it possible that any Reform Bill could be proposed by the present Tory Government which would be worthy of the consideration of advanced Reformers like those in that room. If they did so, they were a set of base hypocrites —a set of dishonest politi cians, and they had no business to be in the seat of power at this moment. (Hear.) He thought the very first thing that ought to be done in the next session of Parliament was to propose a vote of no confidence in the Government of Lord Derby, and thus to attempt to reinstate honest Reformers in the seat of power. They expected a dissolution in 1867, and for the sake of the Reform cause he would infinitely prefer that a dissolution should take place with their own friends in power, and not their enemies ; because there could be no question that the Government of the day had a certain amount of influence in certain boroughs, and Re formers were not in a position to throw that influ ence away. (Hear.) But the mistake was made : Lord Derby was admitted to power, and they must now discuss the plan of putting him out. (A laugh.) He thought this was simply a question of money. He believed they had before them, in order to obtain a substantial Reform Bill, a very large amount of hard work, and a very great expenditure of money. He could quite imagine that a Reform Bill of a kind such as was proposed by Mr. Glad stone might pass the House of Commons at an earlier day than five years hence, but he could not believe that such a Reform Bill would pass the House of Lords. He believed the House of Lords would send back a Reform Bill more than once or twice. This was a question of intelligent agitation, and he thought the great point with them should be, How can we best raise £50,000 ? If they had any faith that a reform bill was necessary, if they had any faith that a reform bill would be greatly bene ficial to this country, and would help forward its career of dignity and honour, and usefulness and civilisation, was £50,000 too much to spend ? (Cheers.) He believed the money question settled the question of the bread tax, and he bad no doubt whatever that the money question would settle the question of reform. Mr. ROBERT PLATT, of Stalybridge, seconded the resolution. He, amidst the cheers of the meeting, promised £l,OOO, saying that he did the same on the resuscitation of the Anti-Corn-Law League. Mr. ILLINGWORTII, of Bradford, spoke at some length in support of the resolution. Mr. HADFIELD (Bradford) urged that a subscrip tion should be raised among working men in sup port of the cause. If a million working men sub scribe Is. each, that would be £50,000. (Hear, hear, and cries of " We will do it.") Mr. FREDERICK HARPER (Manchester) moved as an amendment the substitution of the following words for the last clause of the resolution :—" And to oppose any measure submitted to it which is not equally extensive and honest to that submitted by the late Government, and in that case to urge a vote of want of confidence by the House of Commons." (Cheers.) The present Government had come in by false pretences, but they shOUIEL DOS turn meta out by false pretences ; but when they found that the Government would not give them a measure equal to that which they opposed, they should tell them to their faces that their places must be filled by men in whose honesty the people of England had more confidence. (Hear, hear.) 1 The appearance of Mr. Hadfield, M.P., on the platform at this stage of the proceedings was the signal for loud and enthusiastic cheering. Mr. SCHOFIELD (Oldham) asked if the mover and seconder of the resolution could not substitute a different for the obnoxious clause ? If not, he should be disposed to second the amendment. Mr. RUSDEN said the amendment was far weaker than the original resolution, for he hoped they had no shadow of an intention to accept a bill which should only be " equal" to the last. (Hear, hear). It would only be an invitation to the present Go vernment to bring forward some such poor, weak measure as that. (Cheers.) Mr. J. WAINWRIGHT (Salford) thought it was time that a temporising policy was done away with ; and, though the resolution might in some respects be objectionable, yet in these trying times, when they had so many different parties to accommodate, it was difficult to frame a resolution better calcu lated to obtain general support. Mr. J. SPENCER (Manchester) suggested that the latter clause of the resolution should be left out altogether. Mr. CHILMAN (Hull) considered that there was little difference between the platform of the League and the Union ; and, as both parties meant the same thing, they should go together as far as they could. Mr. SNOWDON (Halifax) approved of the resolu tion in its integrity, as did also Mr. FARMER (Long ton,- Staffordshire). Mr. WEBSTER (Rochdale) thought the Tories were at variance with the people, not only on the question of reform, but on every politico-religious, or social question. (Hear, hear.) The reformers of Lanca shire, however, could not urge their claims with effect so long as so many Tories were returned from the borough and divisional constituencies of the county ; and they should work in their respective localities to unseat these Tories, and return Liberals in their places. Sir FRANCIS CROSSLEY, M.P., said that some gentlemen who had spoken seemed to th ink that moving a vote of no confidence was much the same thing as carrying it. (Laughter and however, was a great mistake. If they asked t h e m best, e .e Lord )d That, Derby or Mr. Disraeli what would askers se he thought there was nothing than for some one to be so foolish and make such a motion ing what before they bad had an oppo r t u nity of say He thought they were going to do. (Hear, hear.) to pass the resolution the conference would do we ) It appeared to him to have been drawn as it stood. (Hear, betahr. grea t c onsideration—with muc h more consideration upwit h than it was p ossible to this kind, and to strike g ive i n a large meeting oft w ould rather strengthen t the clause referred o ou their opponents t h an otherwise. (Cheers.) After a few word s from 11lr. Walmersley (Hast ings), Sir. Schofield, and Mr. Monck (Warrington) the amendment was withdrawn, and the resolution ca rried unanimou sl y . Mr. JEFFREY (Liverpool) then moved the third resolution :—" This conference recommends that a committee be appointed to make a digest of the vari ous reform measures that have been introduced since the act of 1832, and to prepare for public conside ration the outlines of a bill or bills." He did not agree with those who claimed the vote as a right. Let men work out their own redemption and per form the duties of citizens before they claimed the rights of citizens. A man usually served an appren ticeship to a trade, and it would be as reasonable to claim his indentures without service as to claim the vote by right. He condemned strongly the proceed ings in the registration courts, by which so many ~~_~ frivolous and vexatious objections were made, and suggested that better means should be taken to gua rantee the honesty of the rate books to ensure a more correct register. He thought no bill would be complete without the ballot, because without it the farmer had no independence and would have no power to vote in accordance with his conscience, and he also urged the shorter duration of parlia ments—say to three or five years. A great and paramount question for the future would be the edu cation of the people. Any one going to a Liverpool election would see that to a great extent intelligence vas swamped by a class who acted under the land lord's agent, and who were generally a very igno rant class ; and he thought if there was any fear of swamping, it was not likely to come with an exten sion of the suffrage to the better and more intelli gent class of artisans. Mr. MILLS seconded the motion, expressing his satisfaction with the course recommended by it, and recommended that their demands should be as re markable for their righteousness as for common sense. i The meeting at 2 o'clock was adjourned for half an hour, but did not re-assemble till 10 minutes to 3, when Mr. CHAS. WHAITE, of Warwick, addressed the meeting, urging that we had too many qualifications already, and ought to have the qualification to vote on a more simple basis. He thought they should have the voting power in accordance with taxation. He sketched a plan to bring down the income tax to recipients of £5O, and to increase the voting power in proportion to the tax paid up to £5,000, giving an extra vote for every advance of £l,OOO. He was listened to with impatience and cries of " No." He said he only threw out this as a sug gestion. Mr. WILFRID LAWSON said he was no longer a member for Carlisle, but appeared there as rept e senting the Reform Association of that borough. He suggested the withdrawal of the resolution, as likely to create discord. He did not think they should suggest a compromise, though they might accept one. Mr. FARNS, of Eccles, supported the resolution. Mr. GEORGE POTTER, of London, said he had brought an invitation to Mr. Wilson, and the agent or secretary, to attend the working men's demon stration to be held in London on this day fortnight. He also came to invite a deputation appointed by this meeting. He explained the suffrage the work ing men of London sought to obtain, and said they proposed to have a procession from Charing-cross to the West End, and hold their meeting in Cre morne-gardens. He detailed the result of an ap plication to Sir Richard Mayne to assist the work ing men in preserving order while passing through the streets, which he had refused, though it was given for royal processions and Lord Mayor's shows every year. (Shame.) Mr. FORSTER, M.P., thought it would be well to bring a digest of the past reform bills before the public, but doubted if they should propose a bill of their own. By that means they would drive from their ranks all who did not agree with their bill. At all events he did not think they should propose their bill till they had seen what the Tory Govern ment proposed to give. He thought they should agitate for principles, but not pledge themselves to any special measure at present. They might appoint a committee to prepare the digest of different bills, but to go no further at present. Dr. WArrs thought they should substitute the word "produced" instead of "introduced." Mr. H. RawsoN thought they should have some more definite bill than had yet been introduced before Parliament, and especially as to a redistribution of seats. All the measures for redistribution had been very inefficient. The original motion was adopted. Mr. BAINES, M.P., moved the fourth resolution-- " That this conference earnestly recommends the various reform associations throughout the country to keep their several organisations in thorough work ing order, so that at the shortest notice they may act upon Parliament and the people by deputations, petitions, public meetings, the press, or by any law ful means that the exigencies of the time may demand." Alderman BALDWIN, of Birmingham, seconded the resolution, which was carried without discussion. Mr. HANDEL COSSIIA3I moved, and Mr. ILLING WORTH seconded, the fifth resolution :—" Looking at the importance of the crisis, and the amount of work to be done, this conference recommends the ;rnmpaiat-p raising of ft guarantee fund." The resolution was carried. A deputation to the London demonstration was appointed, and the proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
