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 fi r i ng th e 20 preliminary rounds, select and recommend for further trial such of the systems as may appear to them suf f iciently promising, rejecting all such as may not be consider e d t o o ff e r sufficient merits to w arrant their being included in the competition, the con ditions of which are stated in this advertisement.

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 bear the inventor's name.

Lord John Manners and the Trades' Reform Demonstration. A general meeting of the Trades Reform De monstration Committee was held last evening at the committee-rooms, Bolt-court, Feet-street, to con sider the programme for the forthcoming Reform demonstration. Mr. Upshall occupied the chair. The SECRETARY reported that he had received the following letter from Lord John Manners, the Com missioner of Public Works, in reply to his applica tion for permission to assemble and marshal the procession in St. James's Park : " Office of Works, Nov. 21, 1866. " Sir,—l am directed by the First Commissioner of her Majesty's Works to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of flit) 17th inst., in which you ask him, with a view of ob viating the inconvenience to the public traffic which would arise by assembling the proposed procession of friendly, temperance, and trade societies, on Monday, Dec. 3d, in Trafalgar-square, previous to proceeding to its destination, to allow it to be formed on the Parade, or in the Mall of St. James's Park. In reply, lam to state that the First Com missioner must decline all interference with the preliminary arrangements for the proposed meeting. The Mall in St. James's Park is open by and during her Majesty's permis sion for the use and enjoyment of all peaceful and well conducted persons. It must, nevertheless, be borne in mind that any such use as is contemplated in your letter must be compatible with its use and enjoyment by others not concerned in the proposed av,oiiihty, and I am directed by the First Commissioner to add that a grave responsibi lity rests on those who call together large masses of people in the public places and streets of a crowded city, without possessing the power of influencing and controlling disor derly and ill-disposed persons who, experience shows, avail themselves of the opportunity so offered to injure property and disturb the public; peace.--I am, Sir, your obedient servant, "ALFRED AUSTEN, Secretary." After some discussion it was agreed to organise the procession in the Mall of St. James's Park, and it was announced that Mr. Bright, M.P., and Mr. Forster, M.P., had agreed to attend a meeting in St. James's Hall on the day after the demonstration. THE QUEBEC FIRE. Yesterday a meeting of the comrnitttee for the relief of the sufferers by the late destructive fire in Quebec, by which 25,000 persons were made homeless, was held at the Mansion-house, under the presidency of the Lord Mayor (Alderman Gabriel.) There were present Mr. E. W. Watkin, M.P., Mr. Thomas Baring, M.P., Mr. R. D. Hodg son, M.P., Mr. J. S. Morgan, Mr. Russell Sturgis, Mr. A. W. Young, and Mr. J. M. Grant, the hon. secretary. The committee was attended by the Hon. Mr. Langevin, the Postmaster-Generalofganada, and the Hon. W. M'Dougal, the Provincial Secretary of Canada. Mr. E. W. WATKIN, the chairman of the com mittee, said the total amount of subscriptions received up to the present time was £lB,BOO, and that £16,000 had been sent to the relief of the sufferers. He had the pleasure to announce that his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales had subscribed £lOO. His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh had sent £5O, the Lord Mayor £2l, and the Archbishop of Canterbury £2O. It was pleasing to him to state that several ministers of different churches had, without the least solicitation, made collections among their congregations, and the amounts he received had been for warded to him. Collections were proceeding in Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, and Dublin. Blankets to the num ber in all of 8,000 had been sent out, and an order to the Mayor of Quebec to draw for £2,000. It was then agreed that the Mayor of Quebec should be requested, by telegraph, to draw for £2,000. The Hon. Mr. LANGEVIN said that, attending there as he did as a French Canadian and as a member of the Canadian Parliament, it became his duty to thank the British public for the very handsome, liberal, and generous contributions made for the relief of the Quebec sufferers. He know there had been many claims upon the purses of the public, but those claims had been forgotten, and the English people had only thought of the 20,000 poor people who in the space of a few hours were loft homeless, and had not only lost their houses and their furniture, but the tools by which they earned their bread. Though the people of Que bec had tomako an appeal to the benevolence of this coun try 20 years ago, they felt that England had always been so generous towards the suffering that they could appeal to her once more, and he assured the committee that as soon as the Mayor of Quebec had an opportunity of acknowledg ing the generous answer to the appeal that acknowledg ment would be made. Private information had been received from Quebec of the distribution of some of the money sent from this country, and he was happy to say that the bankers of Quebec had readily paid the money upon the authority, sent by telegram, of this committee. It only remained for him to say that what was going to be done should be done as promptly as possible. He need not remind them what the climate of Quebec was, and it was necessary not only to house, clothe, and feed the sufferers, but to find fuel for them as well, and this would prove the necessity of all de lay being avoided. In looking over the subscription fists he noticed a donation of ls. from a labourer. It was very gra tifying to see such a subscription, and ho who gave it might be assured that that had relieved some distressed follow-labourer in Quebec. Mr. \VATXIN, M.P., said there was a complete organisa tion in Quebec to assist the sufferers, and great self-sacri fice had been shown by all classes of the community. The civil and military authorities had done everything that was possible, and their efforts had been seconded by the work ing classes, who had co-operated by working overtime without pay to provide dwellings for the houseless. The Loan MAYOR said it ought to go forth to the public that subscriptions were still urgently needed at once, and promptitude rould doubly benefit the sufferers. The Hon. Mr. M‘DOITGALL supplemented the thanks of his friend and colleague, Mr.Langevin, by saying that the benevolence shown by the English to the people of Quebec showed that this nation in its charities was bound by no feelings of nationality, but- that its benevolence flowed as freely for the people of a different origin as for those of its own blood and nation. He could assure the committee that the Government of Canada had done all that was possible, PRICE.... 4d. STAMPED sd. and had granted at once, without asking the Parliament the sum of $250,000. Last evening a letter was received from the Mayor of Quebec (Ron. Jos. Cauchon), dated Nov. 8, stating that he was requested by the General Relief Committee to con vey to all the contributors to the English Relief Fund the expression of the most profound gratitude of many thou sands of the unfortunate citizens of Quebec.

The receipts per train mile amounted to Bs. 21d., against Bs. Old. in the corresponding half of 1865. The reasons assigned for the falling off in the passenger returns were the wide-spread distress which had prevailed among the poorer classes of the community, con sequent upon the famine which had devastated Lower Bengal, and the temporary stoppage of coolie immigration to the tea districts. The failure of the jute crop, and the late monetary panic, had had the effect of keeping down the amount of goods traffic fer tho half year. Dating the last half year the improvement in the general goods traffic brought on the line had more than compensated for a falling off of above £B,OOO in the returns received during that period for the carriage of jute, Government opium, and passengers. The receipts during the first 13 weeks of the current half year, compared with those of the corresponding period of last year, showed an improvement of above £5,000. Although the, returns from the passenger traffic did not came up to those of the corresponding period, yet there had been a large increase in the returns of the two last weeks over those immediately preceding. Tho steamer service of the company between the railway terminus at Kooshtea and Decca had, during the last half year, been more than self-supporting, while it had at the same time benefited the railway by bringing on the line more than 10 per cent. of the whole goods traffic. The working ex penses amounted to 51.54 per cent, of the gross receipts. The survey and land plans for the Goalundo Extension had received the sanction of the Government, with the excep tion only of those relating to the proposed terminus at Goalundo ; arrangements had been made for taking advan tage of the approaching dry season for pushing on t h e works on that line. The total expenditure on capital account to the 30th of Juno amounted to £1,668,526, leaving a balance of £122,614. SOCIETY CF ARTS. Last evening the 139th session of this society was com menced at the rooms in John-street, Adelphi, under the presidency of Sir T. Phillips, P.G.S. (chaii man of the council), who delivered an address, in which ho alluded to the losses which the society had sustained through death since the last session. The address then went on to observe that amongst the anticipated triumphs of art and industry in the coining year, none would be regarded with more in terest by this society than the Universal Exhibition to bo held in Paris. The examinations, said the address, which were conducted by the society in the various subjects of education continued to afford valuable encouragement to artisans and other working men, as well as to those mem bers of other classes who desire to improve and extend the school instruction they may have acquired in early life . Those examinations, embracing a great variety of subjects, including language, literature, science, and the mechanical arts, have year by year produced an increasing number of students. Propounded by the society in 1853, the system has extended itself, through the instrumentality of the local educational boards, to 100 of the most important centres of population in the United Kingdom ; and those beards, for the most part, have not only assisted to conduct the society's examinations, but have held other prepara tory examinations with the view of enabling other and less advanced persons to become in after years candidates baforr the society's certificates and prizes. Although the nu w ln hen of students examined this year wasless than in , and those this e they amounted to 1,199, they exceeded by 28 the lB6s candidateshope next in 1864, when the number was 1,068, and we may since year to witness a continuance of that progress w terised this these examinations were established, has char ;which the important branch of the labours of the society, The value of council propose to continue without the prizes gained in 1865 was £2ll 55., ss.,including that of the Prince Consoianship, and the im were sub t of the taste and skill of ai Horticultural Society.

A effhetcutuivet measure fte m r ay bo passed remedying the evils somecom plained observations upon the subject of trade marks and the protection of inventors, the address proceeded to give some valuable statistics in regard to the Ilinderpest or cattle plague. In reference to the important subject of cholera the address stated that fears are ex pressed in many quarters by thoughtful men that, although the mortality from cholera has greatly diminished, and the area of its attacks much lessened, it may be expected to re appear before it departs from our shores ; and, although this opinion ought not to discourage us, we should firmly resolve not to discontinue or diminish, but, where neces sary, to increase and extend, those sanitary premutions whereby we have sought protection for our people in the recent crisis. The defective condition of the potato crop was next referred to, with the expression of a hope 4 Lhat means would be adopted whereby this valuable pro. Juct might be protected from the destruction with which it • was now too often visited. The success of the Atlantic T ale graph was the next subject, and concluded in the follom , zng words : —The great end of our being is the elevation t o a better and higher standard of the race to which they belomg and science is only truly valuable when it adds to the moral dignity of man. Increased influence brings with it in creased responsibilities ; and wo shall be judged heroafter not by the extent of our resources, but by the purposes for which our means of usefulness have been employed. Let no man excuse himself on the plea that neither his position nor his abilities qualify him for performing important ser vices, for to such a ono we may apply the language of a great poet and good man:— " The primal duties shine aloft, like stars; The charities that soothe, and heal, and bless Are scattered at the feet of men like flowers ; The generous inclination, the just rule, Kind wishes, and good actions, and pure thoughts. No mystery is here ! Here is no boon For high, yet not for low ; for proudly grand, Yet not for meek of heart!" Medals were then distributed as follows for papers read during the last session :—To Mr. J. C. Morton, for his paper "On London Milk ;" to Mr. Thomas Gray, for his paper "On Modern Legislation in regard to the Construc tion and Equipment of Steamships;" to Dr. J. L. W. Thudichum, for his paper "On the Diseases of Meat as Affecting the Health of the People;" and to the Hon. Charles Gavan Duffy, for his paper "On Some Popular Errors Concerning Australia." A vote of thanks was then proposed by Mr. Harry Ches ter, and seconded by Mr. Rumsey, to the chairman for his able and interesting address. The resolution having been carried by acclamation, Sir Thomas Phillips expressed his acknowledgments, and the meeting separated. The "Red, White, and Blue." In a sufficiently commodious but unpretentious recess on the right hand side of the nave of the Crystal Palace rests, upon its diminutive stocks, one of the marvels of the world. A Lilliputian ship of 2f tons burden, which, with its gallant crew of two men and a dog, successfully braved the dangers and difficulties of an Atlantic voyage, and accom plished the distance from New York to Margate in 38 days. The miniature ship ia, in itself, sufficiently attrac tive to all intelligent visitors, for there it stands as it absolutely ploughed the trackless ocean, and first appeared upon reaching the shores of Old England. With its sails unfurled, rigging in full trim, pennon and other insignia proudly floating, and all its various and ample equipments in working order, ready to re-enact the part which has given it an undying celebrity in both the Western and Eastern Hemis pheres, provided always, as the lawyers say, that one all-important element of success be not wanting, viz., the crew which brought the craft safely to these shores. Here, however, arises the difficulty. Any two men possessing, in the slightest degree, less of nautical skill, indomitable Anglo-American pluck, fixity of purpose, adventurous spirit, and presence of mind under all the trying phases of such a voyage, would not only signally fail, but be justly considered fit and proper candidates for a lunatic asylum. In a recent visit to the little ship, we were fortu nate enough to possess a talismanic introduction to Captain Iludson and his chief mate, and, in fact, sole human companion in his hazardous voyage. From both these gentlemen was experienced a cour teous and hearty reception, and a plain but compre hensive recital of their marvellous Transatlantic rip, and we listened with deep interest, particularly . _ to their pathetic account of the sufferings and ulti mate decease of their •anine co-voyager, " poor Fanny." From Captain Hudson, a name, in con junction with those of the most distinguished nautical adventurers, that will be handed down to the latest posterity as an instance of hardihood and bravery, we elicited a store of interesting details of the various circumstances by which they were sur rounded, received a photograph of himself, and an abridged copy of his log-book. A further privilege was kindly granted—permission to step on board, and to ensconce ourselves in the " state cabin," an apartment five feet long, four feet wide, and 27 inches from floor to ceiling. It is hardly necessary to say that, being slightly over six feet high, and stout in proportion, the offer of a snooze was grate fully declined. The visit, altogether, was one fraught with unalloyed gratification. After spending an hour in this pleasant engagement, we bade the Captain and Mr. Fitch, the mate, farewell, unre solved whether to admire most the diminutive vessel itself, with its full complement of sails, bows, booms ; masts, poles. yards, spars, and all the other paraphernalia of a well-appointed ship (and none of the things were wanting in its dwarf representa tive, the " Red, White, and Blue "), or the patience, courtesy, and intelligence of its plucky captain and mate, the sole surviving members of its crew, after the demise of " poor Fanny," who succumbed to death at the moment of victory, upon the vessel reaching harbour on the English side of the Atlantic. Referring to some ill-timed remarks relative to the improbability of the voyage having been per formed under the circumstances, Captain Hudson displayed some warm and justifiable symptoms of annoyance. With a countenance beaming with manly honesty and ingenious candour, the captain complained that any error he had made in his log book had been taken advantage of to attach doubt to his wonderful achievement, and he experienced great anxiety to disabuse the minds of the British public of the impression which he feared might have been imbibed inimical to his veracity. In the log-book of the " Red, White, and Blue," dated August 5, 1866, it is stated that they saw the " Princess Royal," of Nova Scotia, which ran down to them. The barque in question was the " Danish Princess," when, under the excitement of the moment, the wrong name was inserted. Since writing the above, the following extract from the log-book of the barque " Jessie " has been received by Captain Hudson :—" July, 1866, the Red, White, and Blue , ' bound East. Lat. 41.10 N. Long. 65, Vi r - Si g ned, B. Winslow, master, bark Jessie.' " P ass ed, 20th This extract was accompanied by the following letter from a number of gentlemen, residents of New York : II 88, South-street, it N e w York, Oct. 2, 1866. "To Captain J. 31* 'ludic:Vine.' ship Red, White , a n the un d ers i gned, take great r in t ;Z . eulatingboth you and your mate, Mr. F. E. Fitch, on your . successful passage across pleasure ‘‘Dea the Atlantic. in your miniature ship, Red, White, and Blue,' which we doubt not will be acknow ledged by all unprejudiced minds the most hazardous and dar i n g adventure of modern days. B u t we had no doubt of your success, for one that so suc cessfully commanded his boat in front of an enemy's fort (during the late rebellion) could know no such word as ' fail.' Enclosed you will find an extract from the log of the barque Jessie,' Captain Winslow, who says, o n the day mentioned in the extract, he saw 20 other sails in sight with his glass. Hoping and praying that you may be as success ful on your home passage as you were on the out ward, we sign ourselves—Yours truly, (Signed) D. M. Cumistry, "W. H. Ritch, " H. R. Ingersoll, " J. N. Baxter, Captain ",`R. Hepburn, Captain " C. W. Behm, Captain " C. Bursley, Captain * " Richard H ogan " George H . Baxter." We may perhaps be pardoned for a recognition of Captain Hudson's suggesting as in this mercantile country intrepidity that some priate testimonial might be tangible and appro presented to him, with some similar token to the mate. These being pre sented at the Crystal Palace would prove a source of great attraction. ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.—At the evening meeting on Monday next the following papers will be read :-1.
