Epping Forrest has recently been the cause of a suit in equity. In the parish of Loughton the inhabitants have exercised from time immemorial the right of cutting firewood, by what is tradition ally spoken of as Queen Elizabeth's charter. This right, they say, existed from the 11th November to a specified day in April in each year, on condition that the first axe was laid at 12 o'clock at night en the former date. Curious stories are told of the means taken to prevent this law being kept. Suppers given and conviviality promoted, in the midst of which an astute and sturdy commoner has stolen out at night to keep the bond and pre serve his own awl his fellows' rights ; money gifts proffered to induce intending wood-choppers to keep at home ; and persuasive arguments as to the utter uselessness of keeping up an obsolete form—such as are said to have been the means fruitlessly employed to shake the resolution of those bent on maintaining the charter. Where this document is, and under what circumstances it was granted, have not been stated. Midnight is supposed to have been fixed in order that the privilege of wood-cutting should be restricted to bond fide inhabitants, but the evidence of the existence of the charter seems to mainly rest upon the unanimous testimony of old parishioners, and the persistent efforts made to prevent its first clause being observed. Tradition states that three other parishes near originally had the same privi leges as Loughton, but have lost them through suc cumbing to the temptations quoted; and it is also said that at Walthamcross similar rights were ex tinguished by the monks, who gave a supper to the commoners, and by engaging them in revelry until the magieal_ilonr was passed,- =med. - the -- rigt44 - to , ' lap - se, and made enclosure legal. At Loughton re cent proceedings have assumed a peculiarly painful character, owing to the lord of the manor, a clergy man, having felt it is duty to visit condign punish ment upon some poor cottagers for continuing to chop their wood after being warned that the ground it stood on had been made by him private instead of public property. Imprisonment, loss of employ ment, of means of subsistence, and of home have followed, and it is probable that particulars of their hard treatment will be brought before the public, and steps be taken for their aid. ; IN PARLIAMENT-SESSION. 1867 ~I-11-7-NbALlt, AND GREENTORE RAILWAY. 1--Msnsion-OF Time for conipleting Railwayl-RTieal of Parts of Irish North-Western _Railway Act, 1862 and 1863 , and trail ; of poiyers thereof to Dundalk an 4 Gs Pe , nore Railw; Company,-Gonstruction of Railways Datidalk, -Further- Money 'Powers-Repel of vi sions of N ewry and Greenore Raibta.y"Acta as to joint R o rks and v es ti ng o f. powers Tin • Dundalk Compry,- n . n tling powerslo Newry and "Greenore Ccitnpany over ~--Sww°l;teLrnin°R-aPurchase of Slob Lands at Greenore Point, Vorking and Traffic - arrangement's with' Irish North= Railway Company and london . end North- No e l.

It is well known that many waste lands have been enclosed through the apathy and ignorance of those dwell ing in their vicinity, which would be priceless as open spaces now. Mr. Cowper's Act, and the vigi lance of the Preservation Society, are designed to prevent these enclosures for the future, and while the latter encourages the formation of, and iuvitcs co-operation with local committees for the same end, it is especially anxious to embody in its ranks all interested in the health and wellbeing of the com munity. THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF A7.TS. - A very interesting paper was read on Wednesday night by Mr. W. Hawes, in the room of the Royal Society, to a numerous audience, " On the Effects of Limited Liability Partnership on the Progress of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce." The chair was taken by Sir RouudJl Palmer, late Attorney- General. Mr. HawEs, after alluding to the vast importance of the subject he had taken in hand, observed that the most striking instances in times past of such chartered partnerships or corporations, were those of the New Diver Company, established in the reign of James the First, to provide the metropolis with pure water; and the Bank of Eng land, established in 1694, to conduct large monetary op 'rations, the object of both being the improve mente and of the nations. East respectively e The principle and advancement of our soci a l and t ra di ng in terestsde t i cy te Company, lncieof the Hudson's Bay Company, a n d th e H am b urg colonies, Trading atCb andforeign Company, p estab lished years 1806, 1809, and to conduct and stim u l a t e th e trade, then in its infancy, with our d e pend e n ci e , limited liability, as applied to tradingcompanies. . is not, therefore, new to this country. The second class, or the association of two or more individuals, for a common purpose, and with unlimited liability, has, however, always formed the ordinary type of partnerships under which the great bulk of the business of the country has been conducted. In such partnerships each partner was liable, to the full extent of his fortune, for the debts contracted by the company or firm of which he was a member, but the difficulty which frequently arose in determining who were partners led to constant litigation. Having given a long and interesting account of the working and operations of the pre sent law, he next called attention to the improve ments which had been effected of late years, by which employers are enabled to appropriate some portion of their annual profits to workmen, either in lieu of or in addition to wages, without any of the complications of partnership, or the necessity of con verting private partnerships into public companies. The advantages, then, of association and co-opera tion classes. The more wealthy can are now open to all can unite to conduct large monetary and commer cial undertakings, the shares of which may be of a high denomination ; the middle classes, including the members of all professions, can unite in manu facturing and trading industries, to their mutual benefit, and that a large class of producers who de- P end on weekly wages may combine to obtain at the cheapest rate and of the best quality a supply of the necessaries of life, and a fair and legitimate mode of infimmcing the rate of wages never before open to them. But whatever might be the pecuniary advantages derived by individuals from association underlimited liability, those to be derived by work men, and through them by the State, either by their becoming shareholders in the large establishments where they are employed, or by their receiving by special agreement a certain portion of the net pro fit, after the payment of proper interest on the capi tal and salaries to the partners, are of far greater moment. In fact, the mode of remuneration will strike at the root of the evils of trades unions—that is so far as they are directed to restrictions on labour. If every man, in addition to his wages, is a partner in the profits of the works in which he is employed, and is made to feel how much profits are decreased by any undue interference with the freedom of labour, and that his half-yearly bonus is lessened by such interference, he will soon become, if not an oppo nent of restrictive trade regulations, a very luke warm supporter of them, and an unwilling sub scriber to the funds of associations which directly reduce his receipts with very small prospective, if any, advantage. Ihe hon. gentleman then entered into an interesting account of the working of these co-operative societies, and concluded by saying that if, by affording facilities for the establishment of co - partnerships in industry, or for the appropriation of a certain per centage of profits of ordinary part nerships under the Act of 1865, to all engaged in producing manufactured articles, whether it be by the reproduction of cheap works of art, or by the importation of raw materials from foreign countriea, greater results can be obtained than by adhering to the old plan of allowing all classes of producers to work each in their own circle, and striving for their own personal ends only, that Sy stem of legislation which has inaugurated such a change in the rela tions of capital and labour will rank foremost amongst those to which this • country will be in debted for the future prosperity of its arts, manu factures, and commerce. An interesting discussion followed, and the pro . ceedings terminated at ten o'clock.

Mr. 11. LOWMAN TAYLOR, a member of the Court, and also of the Metropolitan Board of Works, in which latter body he represents the corporation of the City of London, laid on the table certain returns which showed, he said, that the City of London contributed as much as £13,000 a year and upwards to the Metropolitan Board, in addition to the main drainage rate, as compared with £5,550 which it contributed during the first year of the existence of that board. The aggregate taxation, he said, of the City towards the works undertaken by the board, was £30,000 a year in round numbers. On his motion the papers in question were referred for con sideration' to the local government and taxation committee. He added, in reply to a question by Mr. Alderman Copeland, that although Mr. Furness, the contractor, was in difficulties, and unable to carry on his contract for the Thames Embankment, the contract had been taken in hand by a very com petent person, and he had no doubt would be carried on with energy. Mr. J. P. BONTEMS, the chairman of the special committee in regard to the supply of gas, presented a report of proceedings under a reference of 28th of September last, authorising- the committee to con tinue their exertions to carry into practical effect the success obtained by the corporation for securing the supply of good and cheap gas, and for authority to take such measures as may appear advisable in respect of the bill to amend the Metropolis Gas Act, 1860, of which notice had been given reporting from time to time to the court. That bill, which will be introduced by the Government, has for its objects, among others, to regulate and improve the quality and illuminating power of the g,is to be supplied within the metropolis and adjacent districts, the mode of pressure, and the price at which the gas shall be supplied, and the terms and conditions of the supply ; to regulate and improve the mode of testing the illuminating power and quality of the gas, and to provide for charging the attendant ex penses on the gas companies and local authorities ; to regulate the voluntary and compulsory supply of gas and meters, and the amount of payment and re covery of gas rents and meter rents ; to alter and regulate the mode of keeping and rendering the ac counts of the gas companies, and to provide for the inspection, analysis, audit, and publication of their accounts ; to reduce and regulate the capital and borrowing powers of the gas companies ; to limit their profits, dividends, and rates of interest, and to public p b purposes es would byaverage carry r epeal the power to apply surplus profits in the owsdnot aug mentation of previously declared dividends; and to reg ulate the property in, and the exclusion of, works relating to gas pipes, meters, lamps, and other ap paratus for public lighting, and to compel the com panies iu t io on supply h geas Government for meter indication. The corporatien co mm itt ee were of out the recommendations of the sel ec t comm i ttee of the House of Commons, but give t o the corporation nearly, if not all, the powers which they had applied for in their bill for the City, and that b • eing so they did not think it expedient to proceed further with the corporation bill in the ensuing session, that the Government measure, if it became law, would secure to the inhabitants of the metropolis at large all the advantages for which the corporation had so strenuously laboured. In moving the adoption of the report of the com mittee yesterday Mr. Bontems, chairman, stated that it would have cost the corporation at the pre sent market price £1,400,000 to buy up the existing gas companies in the City, whereas by expending £500,000, they could have suppled the citizens with gas at 3s. a thousand cubic feet, and of the requisite purity and illuminating power. Mr. DRESSER ROGERS moved an amendment to the effect that the opposition bill for the supply of gas to the City be continued, so that in the event of the Government bill being lost t he Cit y of Lon don might have a locus standi before the House of Commons for the purpose of en d e avouring to obtain . tizns. cheaper and better gas for the ci de in the end, the A long discussion ensued, an rawn, the report of amendment having been wi Ihd aud referred back to the committee was adop ted them for execution. The court then adjourned. Th 3 Commons Preservation Society.

The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR is desirous of receiving PROPOSALS from Gunmakers and Others for BREECII-LO A.DING 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 bo 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's,s to admit of bayonet fixed according to the present system. IP. STOCK. Must be such as to carry a light metal cleaning-rod, and 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 by long-continued firing, rough usage, and exposure, as the naval rifles converted to breech-loaders on tim 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. r. 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 largo quantities, and of uniform quality. K. CALIBRE. Optional. L. THE TWIST AND FORM OF GROOVE. Optional. Optional. M. THE LOCK. rr. 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. it. 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. W. 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 bo 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 bo paid to each of the accepted competitors, to cover the expense of the six rifle; 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 clearlyto 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 moles, including the stock. The limit of weight for these arms is fixed at 91. b. 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 orßepeating 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 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 hear the inventor's name.
