Dr. Frankland has investigated some of the physical properties of cholera stuff (cholrine) ; ho has shown that it passes through filtering paper, and that water containing 1-500th part of the matter is not entirely, purified by transmission through animal charcoal. Whether the pro perties of the remaining molecules or organisms undergo any change in the filtering process, depriving them of their zymotic character, has not been determined. The inves tigation proves the importance of destroying all the do jections by disinfectants, and of drawing water from sources free from contamination. Now ready, complete in 2 vole.

Must be as little liable to injury bylong-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. t. THE AMMUNITION AS A WHOLE. . . Must be as little liable to injury by rough usage, damp, and exposure in all climate; 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 large quantities, and of uniform quality.

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_tho 2.0 preliminary rounds, select and recommend for further , trial such of the systems RS may appear to them sufficiently profilising, rejecting all such as may not be considered to offer sufficient merits to warrant their being included in the competition, the con ditions of which are stated in this advertisement. _ _ Each accepted competitor will then be required to furnish for experiment, at Woolwich, six arms in strict conformity to the specimen arm submitted, with 1,000 rounds of am munition per arm, within four months after date of de mand. Each competitor will be required to disclose to the committee the exact nature of the lubrication he may em ploy. A sum of £3OO will be paid to each of the accepted competitors, to cover the expense of the six rifles, and of the supply of ammunition required. The Secretary of State offers a reward of £l,OOO for the arm which, on combination of all qualities, is considered by the committee to be the best submitted. A second reward of £6OO for the arm which, while at taining a satisfactory degree of excellence in other particu lars, is selected for merit in respect to its breech mechanism. A third reward of £4OO fdr 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 climate; 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. 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 911 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 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. V. 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 bo 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.

The Hall will be inaugurated with a GRAND BAN QUET, on TUESDAY, November 20, 1866, Frederick Strange, Esq., in the chair, and on the following evening, WEDNESDAY, November 21st, the Hall will Re-open to the Public. The anxious endeavours of the Proprietors to please the rapidly growing Musical taste of the British public, has induced them to produce several Novelties as well as the chef d'oeuvres of the most Eminent Composers, the first of which being a Grand Selection from Auber's popular Opera of "MASANIELLO" (by the permission of James Kenny, Esq.), produced on a scale of magnificence •never before attempted at any Music Hall. The Great Novelty of the season will be the production of an Entertainment called " The Irish Minstrels," which, while Miscellaneous Entertainments are obtaining favour with the Public, and Foreigners of Continental distinction are (in a measure) superseding our English material, it is strange that the Sister Country should not have found its exponents as regards its Musical Originalities. The Pro prietors, impressed with a knowledge of this fact, present the public with an embodiment of over-the-Channel pecu liarities—The Song—The Dance—The irregularities, are all poutrayed. The Ancient "Carolan" (the almost Father of " Erse" Music) has not been forgotten ,- and " Lover," (who is still living) is among the Brightest Musical Illus trators. One of his most beautiful Duets will form the Opening of that which is intended to be submitted for appreciation. It will 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, PaddyFaunin, Patrick Sellers, and Les Freres Risoralis, the eminent Classical Athletes, their first appearance in London, will appear on the Opening Night, Wednesday, November 21st. Arthur Lloyd, Jolly Nash, Harry and Kattie King, and Miss Georgiana Smith son are re-engaged, and will shortly appear ; together with a Galaxy of Talent, which will be announced. In active preparation, Handel's ACIS and GALATEA ; Donizetti's Opera, LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR, and ELISIR The Band will consist of 30 first class performers, and large Chorus chosen from her Ma jesty's and Covent Garden Opera Houses.

In shipping yarns sellers report a mo derately fair amount of business, at last Friday's rates. There have been considerable offers made at still lower prices—in fact, at rates too low to be accepted by spinners. The market for home-trade yarns is much the same. Prices are, so far as any change can be noted, rather weaker than last week, but th ere i s more di spos iti on t o d o b us i ne ss at the decline. In cl o th th e l ow ra t es now su b m itted to have brought in a few buyers, aas t h andat of spinners although is very the u position n sat i of manufacturers as well factory, because of the sacrifices they have to make, the holders of goods have obtained some relief by the diminu tion of stocks. In most kinds of goods suited to the mar kets of India some business has been done. The market has been somewhat depressed by the rumours of further expected failures. As compared with last Tuesday the quotations of leading agents are uniformly 3d. per piece less on madapollams, printers, and shirtings up to 91b. weight. For 101 b. shirtings quotations are 6d. per piece lower ; 111 b., at 18s. 6d. last week, are offering at 17s. 9d.; and 1211., at 20s. last week, are quoted 19s. 3d. per piece. Jaconnots and T-cloths are mostly quoted lower than last Tuesday, the former in some instances id. to upwards of id. lb. Messrs. John and Co. report of to-day's per cloth-market We have to-day to report a very flat market, with little or no inclination on the part of buyers.to operate. During the week prices have gradually declined, and though to-day we have reduced our quotations, they must be considered entirely nominal." CARDIFF, 19th.—For Welsh steam coal there is an active demand, and, while the several collieries are in full opera tion, steps are being taken at many of the works to increase the output. The Mediterranean and French ports are taking large quantities, and very heavy supplies are being cleared out for the coaling stations of the mail packet com panies. Orders continue to come in regularly from the foreign markets, and everything indicates the keeping up of the existing activity. The home trade isbeing rapidly ex tended, as evidenced by the increased quantities sent by railway to Birkenhead and the markets for the metropolis and the midland counties. The improvement noticed last week in the demand for home qualities is maintained, and coasting merchants are purchasing more largely, especially for the West of England and Irish markets. At the various ironworks the men are fairly employed, and although the orders are not numerous, there are several good ones in hand, particularly on American account. Trade with the United States is moderately active much better than was anticipated at one time, and the export of rails is, if any thing, above the average. With the other foreign markets business is rather quiet, andin the home trade there is very little stir. There is much difficulty in obtaining fresh home orders, buyers evincing'the strongest objection to burden themselves with heavy stocks. In pig iron there is very little activity, and quotations are in favour •of buyers. During the past week a slight falling off has been experi enced in the demand for tin plates, and orders are accepted on somewhat easier terms. LEEDS, 20th.—The attendance of buyers in the cloth halls to-day has been of a moderate character, and the busi ness done was aboutlan average of the last few weeks. Still things wore a rather quiet aspect. In the coloured cloth hall there was a little more inquiry for both tweeds and meltous than last week, and of the former tho stocks are not at all in advance of the supply. A few parcels of heavy goods and hair lists were purchased in the white cloth hall, and generally at late prices. There is, however, no disposition on the part of merchants to increase stocks at present, and hence the markets continue quiet, as they have done for the past two thonths or more. ROCHDALE, 19th.—There was a moderato amount of business done in the flannel-market to-day—at least, quite as much as for the last few market days. The finer flannels continue to find purchasers more readily than heavy ones, and the manufacturers of such goods are well employed. The hom e trade and export demand, upon the whole, are both rather dull. The demand for the Australian colonies has been and still is good, which has helped to make up for the falling off in the demand for other parts. The Yorkshire goods trade is steady, and fully as much business is doing as for some time past. The local wool trade participates with the state of the flannel-market, not much business having been done to-day. Prices are without Change. LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER. Notice of intended application to Parliament. in the next session has been given for power to enable the company to raise, under the name of "creditors' stock," additional Ca tabeapplied exclusbiapto the payment of the debts of the company, including arrears of interest on mortgages and money duo for the purchase of lands, and for complet ing the lines authorised by Parliament, to attach to such stock a perpetual rate of interest, taking precedence over all other stocks and mortgages of the company ; to defer for a period, to be fixed by the bill, all actions, suits, judgments, and other proceedings against the company for recovery of debts, including interest upon mortgages, and to provide for the appointment as directors of certain members repre senting mortgagees ; to issue permanent debenture stock to be applied in discharge of the mortgages of the company ; to enable the proprietors of capital in any particular section of the company to unite, upon such conditions as the bill shall define, their capital, interest, and control in and over that section, together with their rights and liabilities, with those of the proprietors of capital in the general undertak ing, or any other section; and making the necessary ar rangements for the merging of the capitals so united into one capital stock, and for creating a capital stock or stocks in the nature of a preference stock or of an ordinary stock, chargeable upon the whole undertaking or particular parts thereof, to be allotted in lieu of such separate stock, and the transferring to the united body of all rights and liabili ties incident to the particular sections ; to enable the com pany to grant leases of surplus lands, to extend the time fir the completion of certain works, and to purchase cer tain houses and property in Belgrave-square, Eccleston square, and St. George's-road. VARNA AND RUSTCRUK. This railway has been lately opened for general traffic. and will form an important link in speedy transit from Loudon to Constantinople. Commencing at Rustchuk, which is now the chief city of Bulgaria, it passes through the latter country by way of Sininki, Stei tanjik, and Pravadi, leaving Rasgrad and Shumla a few miles to the right. The scenery from Pravadi to Varna is in some places very beautiful, and, with the exception of a short tract of marsh, there have been comparatively few engineering difficulties. The line is about 120 miles in length, and when the Danube is open next year this route will probably be made available for the carriage of the Anglo-Turkish mails that have hitherto been sent by way of Tehernavoda and Kustendjie. It should also open cut the immense cereal resources of Bulgaria, for there is no doubt that if roads were made in this country, in con junction with the railway and the harbour now in progress at Varna, the agricultuial wealth of this semi -civilised country could be developed to a marvellous extent, and that, too, with an infinitesimal amount of aid from the Ottoman Government. HUDSON'S BAY. A general meeting of this company was held yesterday at their house, Fenchurch-street ; Sir E. Head, the Governor, presided. The report stated with regard to the ordinary trade that the two Hudson's Bay ships, Prince Rupert anti Lady Read, had delivered safely their cargoes out and home, and had made successful voyages. The quality of skins which they had brought, however, fell short of that which was received last autumn, and the deficiency was visible especially hi martens. At the same time the comparison between this year and last was not so unfavourable as it might at first appear, inasmuch as the returns of last year were swelled by the accidental detention iu the previous season of the furs from Moose Factory, so that double the quan tity of skins from that district were included in the sales of last spring. A third vessel, sent to the northern part of Hudson's Bay for the purpose of wintering there and securing their interests in the trade with the Bsquimatts, had arrived safely at Churchill. The usual interim dividend would be paid to the shareholders in January next. In Vancouver's Island business was depressed, and the relations between that colony and British Columbia remained on an unsatisfactory footing. No com munication on the main points at issue between the company and her Majesty's Government had been received by the Committee from the Colonial-office, and no offer had yet been made on the part of the Government of Canada to pur chase any portion of the rights or territory of this company. g i which d eo: 0 11 d th f e et a t r e b r i t t h ra e t d io is n - On the other hand, if any such offer was hereafter made in connexion with the scheme of consolidating the British .in th We e ni c tst l h a w i r tu he s of the company und Provinces in America, or on other grounds, the committee t l3 , hadr l e l e e nt d O ieoin r nn e t eg g or o fae n ttdhN t eiV r n e ast a bso t h ja y nr , floe t hge i n e °l4 y dnae: h rnse a d every reason to hope that t er ho Government of the United States had now taken all the evidence which it expected to obtain, and that the matter ought to bo ripe for decision. They had no doubt that the interests of the company would ultimately be materially benefited by the award made. At the general meeting held in July last a resolution was adopted to the effect that a letter should be sent to every shareholder, asking him to answer "Yes" or "No" to the question whether the colo nisation of Rupert's Land should bo undertaken by the company itself. The shareholders returning answers (un qualified by any remark) on one side of the question, re presented more than half the existing capital of the com pany. From the statement prepared by Mr. T. Fr%sor, the secretary, it appeared that the number of shareholders to whom the circular was sent was 1,493, and they received answers from 637. Of this number 122 voters, holding £106,160 stock in the company, had voted in the affirma tive; while 496 voters, holding £1,078,840 stock of the company, had voted in the negative. The result was, therefore, that the proposition for commencing the colonisa tion was negatived by shareholders representing more than one half the capital of the company. The °MAILMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, saithe had nothing to add to it, as affairs were exactly as stated in the report. They would probably soon know whether any offer was to be made to the company. The committee had not pledged themselves in any way ; so that the shareholders would have to decide on any question that might be submitted. ded the Sir C. M. LAMPSON, Deputy-Governor, sewn agreed to motion for the adoption of the report, which was agr unanimously. ri an d Mr. The retiring auditors, Mr. E. W.

This formed part of the general sub ject now before the Government in connection with the whole question. There was a legal difficulty in making the chief factors and chief traders interested in the com pany's dividends. The bank could no doubt be turned to good account if the pending matters were settled. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the Governor, Deputy-Governor, and committee for their 1 prudent and able management of the company's affairs. The annual rate of mortality last week was 24 per 1,000 in London, 28 in Edinburgh, and 37 in Dublin ; 20 in Bris tol, 20 in Birmingham, 29 in Liverpool, 30 in Manchester, 29 iu Salford, 25 in Sheffield, 28 i❑ Leeds, 19 in Hull, 37 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and 31 in Glasgow. The rate in Vienna was 37 per 1,000 during the week ending the 3d inst., when the temperature was 1:7 deg. Fahrenheit lower - than in the same week to London, where the rate was ._ - per 1,000. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29-693 in. The barome trical reading increased from 29.06 in. on Friday to 30.18 in. by the end of the week. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 45.6 deg., which is 2.4 deg. above the average of the same week in 50 years, as determined by Mr. Glaisher. The highest day temperature was 58.5 deg., on Tuesday. The lowest night temperature was 30.8 deg., on Saturday. The entire range of temperature in the week was therefore 27.7 deg. The mean of the highest temperature of the water of the Thames was 48.5 deg.; that of the lowest was 46.5 deg. The difference between the mean dew point tem perature and air temperature was 5.4 deg. The mean de gree.of humidity of the air was 82, complete saturation b3ing represented by 100. Rain fell during the week to the amount of 0-58 in. At Manchester the rainfall on Thursday amounted to 1-24 in., and on Friday to 0-89 in., at Eccles on Thursday to 1-39 in., and on Friday to 0-75 in. The river Irwell rose on Friday 25ft. above its ordinary level. An extraordinary shower of very brilliant meteors occurred during the early morning hours of Wednesday; fully 10,000 meteors were seen at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich. According to a return furnished by the engineer of the Metropolitan Board of Works the average daily quantity of sewage pumped into the river Thames at the southern outfall works, Crossness, was 197,542 metric tons. Agricultural Prospects. Last week opened with a fine day, after much rain dur ing the previous night. Monday morning was threatening * and doubtful, but it held up, and no rain fell until 4 p.m., after which time the evening was wet; wind, S.W.; ther mometer•, 48 deg. in the morning, up to 52 deg. at midday; barometer, 30in., and falling. Field work was proceeded with in most counties and went on well throughout the day. Tuesday morning was very wet, and the rain conti nued up to 11 a.m., the barometer down to 29.50 in. All field work was of course stopped by the state of the wea ther. From Northumberland our advices stated that "dur ing the _past week we have had several heavy westerly gales, but since Saturday the weather has for the most part been fine." Wednesday proved a clear, fine, and re b astoio r pp e trau e sint z rea. y edreg d tT a rahb y heas , :ts which would enable the farmers to progress with field work, and a good finish has boon effected in the wheat sowing in all the early districts, while what had been committed to the ground first has come• up strong and healthy. Taking c oi n slightrt h the frost, morning,i ger. wind the uncertainty of the weather into account, the work has been well accomplished on all the light soils, heavy clay land being the exceptiou, and that at times needed more rain than had fallen to make it friable and fit for the plough. Our advices from Scotland stated that "the weather had been wet and boisterous," and that in the northernmost part pees had been very violent and haystacks overturned. The fluctuations of the barometer have boon very remark able, and a sharp•frost has been experienced. Fortunately the bulk of the potato crop is lifted, so that there has been little damage done."

The bulk is nearly equal to that of lad year, but the quality both of grain and straw is deficient. The delivery of oats is free, the weight ranging from 34 to 41 lb. per bushel. Potatoes are a fair crop as to quantity, but in many cases considerably dis eased. Turnips have advanced rapidly on the past two months, and are still sound and healthy.
