Mr. HOOKER responded, expressing a hope that on another occasion the ploughing would be more satisfactory, and that better judgment would be displayed by the ploughmen. The following are the conditions considered essential in military non-repeating Rifles : A. WEIGHT. Not to exceed 91b. soz. without bayonet. Sir W. BoviLL believed that the remarks of Mr. Hooker would have a good effect on the plough men, some of whom acknowledged that they had ploughed too deep, and he thought it might be worth while for the farmers to call the attention of their men to the subject, so that they might avoid mistakes for the future. (Hear.) There was one important matter to which he wished to call the at tention of all.present and of the public generally. Every one admitted the necessity of a good system of education. For some time past a great want had been felt of schools for the sons of farmers in various parts of the country. The want was so severely felt that it had led to the establishment of middle-class schools, and anything more admirable than these institutions he could not conceive. (Cheers.) A school of that kind had been established at Cranley. It was opened last year with only 30 boarders, but now contained 150, and was so full that there was not a single vacancy. The fact showed that that system of education was highly estimated. He believed it would be widely extended, and took occasion to men tion it wherever he had the opportunity of meeting the farmers. (Cheers.) He mentioned the insti tution because it was connected with the toast he was about to propose—the members for the division of the county in which they were assembled. He be lieved that his friends were greatly indebted for that school to Mr. Cubitt, many of whose good deeds were performed beyond the light of day—a man who had done more for the cause of education and religion by assisting various institutions than many a one whose name had been prominently put for ward. (Cheers.) He regretted that Mr. Cubitt was unable to attend, and also that Mr. Briscoe, who was also a warm friend of the agricultural in terest, was not present.. He begged to propose "The Healths of Mr. Cubitt and Mr. Briscoe." 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.

Recent events in the United States are awaken ing a new and increased interest in this distinguished American citizen. Those who carefully watched his career at the commencement of the great war for the Union clearly saw what was before him as a military man. His campaigns at the West and South-west were plain indices of what might be safely expected of him in the future. Early in the year 1863 his extraordinary talent for combination and strategy became apparent. At that time there were those in Washington, gentlemen devoted to the service of the country and the public press; 3sbcci were earnest and persistent in their appeals to the Government that he should be called to the front, and kept there, in supreme command.` Nothing of the kind was plainer, to those who understood GRANT, than that he was the master spirit of the most successful movements in the Val ley of the Mississippi. The grasp of his control ling mind was felt from Cairo to Vicksburg, from Atlanta to New Orleans. It was a fortunate day for America when he was called to mass the entire force of the country on Richmond. The cry "On to Richmond !" bad a significance in it then it had never had before ; and in the mouth of such a man as GRANT it was indeed potential. Our object in this article, however, is not to review the life of this celebrated commander in the field. Its record is before the world, and nau3t pass down to posterity side by side with that which contains some of the greatest names of military history. We speak of him now as a man, as an American citizen, as a living representative of the Republican idea. In ' order to understand Ulysses Sydney Grant per fectly, we must view him in all these aspects. It should be borne in mind that he has not spent all his active life in the army. It Must also be re membered that he sprang directly from the ranks of the working people of America. Born of indus trious parents, who by their own labour had made their way in the world, he was taught in his youth the honour and value of virtuous daily toil. Al- H. THE ARM AS A WHOLE.

Sir W. BOVILL, in acknowledging the compli ment, said he felt so much indebted to those among whom he lived that he felt it his duty and pleasure to promote the interests of the parish by every means in his 'power. Whenever his services were required in taking a lead which his positioH would enable him to do, he trusted that his friends would never hesitate to apply to him. (Cheers.) Several other toasts were afterwards given and responded to. though placed at a comparatively early period in the United States Military Academy, at West Point, and sent forward, soon after his graduation as a cadet, to the field of war in Mexico, and to arduous camp duties on the Indian frontiers, his record shows that he never for a moment lost his concern as an American citizen in the affairs of his native country. He studied Mexican interests, not merely to learn how to subjugate them by the sword, but how they might be developed by the plough. He made himself familiar with American frontier developments, not only that he might keep off savage marauders, but that he might open them up to civilisation, commerce, and the arts. Re turning from these scenes of peril and priva tion, he sought the peaceful shades of private life, voluntarily 'resigned his position in the army, and engaged in mercantile business. Day by day he mingled with his ,fellow-citizens. He studied their institutions, their trades, their laws, their internal improvements. Educated well, a man of reading, a traveller of observation, quick to per ceive and execute, surrounded by friends of means and influence, he might, and doubtless would, have risen to some post of civil distinction, had not his imperilled country again called him to the field of Dattle—to him, at last, the field of honour, that exalted him to the highest military post ever occu pied by any citizen of the United States. Put the leading fentures of the character of GRANT go beyond this. llis mind is so constructed that he is capable of being as great in the cabinet as he is in the field. His elements of common sense, firmness, knowledge of men, adaptation of mea sures, perseverance and moral courage, are strong points of success and usefulness iu any career.

That he understands treason the world Already knows ; and, as a patriot, having put it down in the field, as a Republican citizen he will keep it down in the forum. There is no man in the United States more en tirely worthy the confidence of the whole popu lation than Grant. Not because he is a hero ; not, even, because he is a patriot ; but because, being both these, he is a qualified citizen—a man of moral worth, a careful observer of national interests, above the foul influence of party spirit, of tempe rate habits, industrious, self-reliant, Republican ; in short, a man every way a*well fitted to rule in the state in time of peace as he is to command in time of war. Such is Ulysses Sydney Grant. - We speak that which we know. We testify that which we have seen. If he should ever visit Europe, as be has been invited to do by both European and American friends, we are confident that all we here say, and . more too, will be conclusively proved. Among all who appreciate his great merits on this side the Atlantic, there is a general an d increasing desire that he should be the next. President a the United States.—.A.nglo-American Times.

He repudiated the idea that th e pr oportt interests of large landowners and employers of labour could be other than the interests of the people. Their interests were inseparable, and those were not the friends of the people who went about endeavouring to sow dissen sion between class and class. The bishop next referred to the question of Sunday recreation, and replied at length to the Bishop of Ripon's speech on Sabbath observance at York. He contended that the Jewish Sabbath was not the Christian Sunday; that the Jewish Sabbath, whether taken as the seventh day of the Creation or the seventh day on which no manna fell in the wilderness, was a Saturday, and that the Christian Sunday, as the day on which Christ rose from the dead, and completed the great scheme for man's salvation, was a day of happiness and joy, and not of_ sombreness and gloom. But the Sunday of the present Church of England was really only an out growth of Puritanism. Elizabeth and the two succeeding monarchs by licence and by proclamation approved and encouraged the recreations of the people, after due religious exercises, on the Sunday. He regarded the day as one which should be observed by abstinence from servile labour and by due religious exercises, bat after that he would be glad to see the people spending the rest of the day in rational and healthful recreation. Upon cational question the bishop spoke strongly abolition of the denominational system, , co r crime, and t :fi t : h < s g et t that the alone education was not any that this could only be attainesdabfeygruealtni d 'ol a training, which " religious system.

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 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 lie may em ploy. A suns 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 biY 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 bo 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 REPEA.TING 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 nib. ex clusive of the charges in the magazine. It is indispensabra th a t th e a rms 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 X6O each. This sum is to include 1,000 rounds of ammunition per arm. V The Secretary of Stat e 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 bo recorded in connection with it. if the rifle to which the first prize is awa rded is adopted into the service, it will b ear th e inventor's name.

Address —The Manager "Sun" Printing Offices, 3, Church- Savoy, Strand, W.C. row, Sir W. Bovill, M.P., on Agricultural Affairs. W 0 RPLESD ON, Saturday. The annual gathering of the Ploughing Associa tion for this district took place last night at the New Inn. - Sir W. Bovill, M.P. (the President), occupied the chair ; and among the other gentlemen present were Mr. Coussmaker, Col. Paxton, Mr. Norton, Mr. C. J. Furnival, the Rev. G. Dupuis, Mr. W. Wells, &c. The usual loyal and constitutional toasts were given and responded to by the Rev. G. Dupuis and Col. Paxton. Sir W. BovILL, in proposing the toast of the even ing—" Success to the Worplesdon Ploughing So ciety"—said he had on former occasions called at tention to the progress that had been made in the parish during the time he had been a resident, and he had witnessed with pleasure the exertions that had been made and the various improvements which had been effected throughout the parish. Several years ago it was suggested that things were in that condition when a little further progress was desir able, and that the Worplesdon Ploughing Associa tion should be established in order that some im provement might be effected in the condition of the agricultural labourers, and that more attention should be turned to the discussion of agricultural subjects. At first the number of members was small, and many persons held aloof because they thought it would not be possible to form and support an in dependent association. Many of the farmers looked on with a considerable degree of distrust ; but as time went on they all became satisfied of the ad vantages which would be conferred by the society both on the employers and the employed, and an opportunity was afforded of giving prizes to the agricultural labourers. (Cheers.) For his own part he had watched with much interest the mode in which the labourers had received the prizes, the in terest with which they had looked forward to the annual meetings of the society, and the anxiety they had manifested to bring their wives and children together on such occasions. He knew of no insti tution which had produced greater good among the vast body of the farmers and labourers through out the parish. He believed that every society which associated the clergy, the gentry, and all the inhabitants of a parish, and brought them into com munication with the labourers, did good not only for one day, but throughout the whole period of the year. He always looked forward with pleasure to the annual gathering of the Worplesdon Association, and was glad to find that the rector and the majo rity of the farmers put aside their engagements in order to enable them to be present. (Cheers.) The farmers, whether large or small, took a great plea sure in*associating together at these festivals, and he believed they found that they were attended with advantage as well as pleasure, for they produced a considerable amount of emulation and improve ment. (Cheers.) It might have been that on the pre sent occasion sufficient interest had not been excited to induce the ploughmen to keep up their ploughing, or the nature of the ground might have prevented them from displaying a proper amount of skill in the field. But if he had read aright the expression of the countenance of those who had received the prizes, they would be stimulated to greater exertion on future occasions; and he felt quite satisfied that those who had competed, but had been unsuccessful, would be stimulated by the rewards offered—by the sub stantial advantages derived by the successful compe titors—to improve themselves in the modes of culti vation. (Cheers.) The farmers, he was happy to say, had liberally come forward on the present occasion. There were certainly some who still stood aloof, but hoped the example which had been set them, and the large gathering which had taken place, would show them that the Ploughing Association of Worplesdon was highly appreciated by the farmers and the neigh bourhood at large, and that they would assist it by increased contributions. (Cheers.) There were few landowners in the parish, and the great proprietors in the district were generally unable to be present. He believed that the landed proprietors who could attend were glad to meet those persons who stood in a different position, and were always willing to discuss and consider the position of the landlords and tenant farmers assembling together, whether in that or any other parish. (Hear, hear.) He himself paid some attention to the reports of the agricultural societies and the various matters which they discussed. He observed that some of the farmers were in favour of long leases, while others preferred annual tenancies. But he believed there was nothing which tended more to promote the interests of the farmers in con nection with the labourer than an inter-community of feeling between the two—that feeling which enabled a master to keep a man for 27 years, two instances of which had occurred in the parish; and there was another case in which a man had lived in his place for 16 years. (Cheers.) He believed that such circumstances could occur only from there being a deep sympathy existing between the em ployers and the employed, that best bond of all good feeling and fellowship, which he hoped would con tinue to extend throughout the parish, producing manycompetitors for the prizes for length of service at every meeting of the association. (Cheers.) Such feelings reflected as much credit on the employers as the men, and if they could all boast of retaining servants for long periods of years Worplesdon would be one of the happiest parishes in England. (Cheers.) There were boys of 16 who had lived with their masters for periods varying' from six to four years, setting a good example to others. There was another important matter deserving of notice, and that was the friendship which existed among all classes. Ile had read leases and covenants and deeds by which a man was made dependent on his landlord ; but he believed there ought to be the same identity of feeling between landlord and tenant —(hear, hear)--and better than the security of leases was the feeling that each could rely on the other. (Cheers.) He believed that every landlord in the country would be glad to have such tenants as Mr. Burt, two of whose servants had carried off prizes for length of service—a tenant on whose honour and position a landlord might safely rely without a lease or document of any kind. (Cheers.) This was a sort of tenure which he should like to see prevail, and he was not sure whether for the last 50 years Mr. Burt and those l who preceded him had not gone on without a sh% e scrap of paper as a security . (Cheers.) lie be lieved that the interests of both landlords the good feeling which existed on the part of Mrble . Burt to and his landlord, and then they would be a perform their relative duties without a lease see a suc hwel as with one. (Cheer s. ) Ile was glad to I a large gathering, and if the association went on in creasing as it had hitherto done, he believed that it would be necessary to erect a large tent for the accommodation of the visitors. The success of the association was complete, and he invited all. pre- NEW NOVEL BY THE AUTHOR OF " SON AND HEM" Now ready at all the Libraries, in 3 vole , R D. 11.
