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. 11. 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 thbir own ignition. E. SIGHTS. The foresight must be such as to admit of 'a 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. G. RECOIL. Must not exceed that of the Enfield Rifle by more than 10 per cent. n. THE ARM AS A WHOLE. 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 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 large quantities, and of uniform quality. 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. 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 no rounds. B. 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. 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 M arc h , 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, a nd who will, after firing the 20 preliminary roun d s , 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 ann, within four months after date of de mand- Each competitor will he required to dischise 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 mere 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 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. Tho 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 npt 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 burecorded 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 YORK GIMCRACK CLtin.. 7 - On Tuesday last the mem bers of this club celebrated their "centenary" anniversary at Harker'sHotel, when a party of about sixty gentlemen sat down to a sumptuous dinner. Thomas Hodgson, Esq., was in the chair, and Mr. G. Hilton in the vice-chair. Amongst the company was observed J. Roper, Esq., the chairman of the York Race Committee and the president of the Gimcrack Club ; W. Hodgson, Esq. ; J. Jackson, Esq. ; Alderman Wade, Alderman Weatherley; J. Holtby, Esq. ; Hoggar d, Esq.; Dr. Hornby ; C. Harker, Esq.; Tongue, Esq. ; R. Gould, Esq.; E. Thompson, Esq.; A. Thompson, Esq. ; L. Foster, Esq. ; H. Loy, Esq. ; W. Walker, Esq.; R. Dale, Esq. G. Dale, Esq.; T. Ellis, Esq.; W. Simpson, Esq. ; G. Nelson, Esq., &c. In proposing "Success and Prosperity to the Gimcrack Club," the'Chairman explained that its origin was closely identified with the turf. About 100 years ago, when four-mile heats were in fashion, there was a celebrated horse named Gimcrack, which belonged to Lord Bolingbroke, and ran at York and other meetings in the north, and although he was under 14 hands 1 inch, be succeeded in winning 25 races, besides a great match in France against time, doing 22 miles and a half within the hour, for a very considerable sum—an extraordinary feat in those days, when races wine loss numerous than in the present dalya.tteArlyt theyone thinaideenthlye beenclub manenenti,nilglys,wwebreenmtobree e d t u b t l o e y p ro _ frequent ; winner of the 100 soya, contributed by the club to the Gimcrack Stakes at the York August Meeting, out of which the winner contributed threndoze a n ne o 7vs f ehn c ei h an a lgt m h p twh ag aats n din ner.

In addit . ion to a saloon and private boxes on the elevation, there aro a suite of rooms o n the basement openin g on to a terrace, raised about six feet from the ground and si x f e et wide, ex g tendin the who‘e length of the buildi ng . Thi s terrace will be guarded from the enclosure by an elegant iron railing, and those sub scribers who resort to it will have a full view of the course, whilst they can readily converse or transact business with the members of the ring just below them. During the evening Mr. John Jackson, in returning thanks after the proposal of his health, expressed his desire in every way to promote the prosperity of the York meetings; and decided upon adding 100. sous to a stake to be called the Fairfield Stakes. The announcement was received with loud cheer- j lug. The conditions of the stakes have not been agreed upon, but in all probability it will be for two year olds, and will be run at the next August Meeting:. GRAND MILITARY STEEPLE CIIASES.—As soon as the locale was fixed no time was lost by Major Dixon in issuing his programme, and it is i n every way worthy to strengthen the Liverpool Grand National Meeting.

Pearl Diver, G yrs, The Monk, aged, and Lord Douglas, sons. Viscount Curzon, M.P. (From Belly's Magazine for December.) High among the popular and fashionable masters of foxhound's of the present day ranks the above nobleman, -who succeeded, a few years back, Mr. Selby Lowndes, in 'tbeinitstership of the Atherstone ; and,- as we have .gone throuzli the ranks of the. senior M.F.H.'s, his lordship .cqrues-ou, in rotation for illustration and record. `) 'Lsrd- Curz6n - is -lbe eldest son of the Earl Howe, the ,deSeendant of the well-known Owiral of that name, who fought the celebrated naval action which bears his name to this hour, and which is ranked in the chronicles of our fleet as being on a par, in point of importance, with that of the Nile, and Sir John Jervis, afterwards bettor known as Lord St. Vincent. The subject of this sketch p w , a u s lia ed m u e c n a t ted fm a . t s E o t u o l n azl ie C e h s i to ist rsh e i h ms u , rc N i, v i h e a r nd h e the as family sat in estaleS are situated, - for sOrtio'years. - Lord Curzou's career as tispartSman is - not difficult to trace, for it has been con fined-to the Atherstone, in connection with which he has been brought by force of natural circumstances. For a young nobleman, who was not a member of a family which had produced previous masters of foxhounds, to enter upon a country which had been hunted by Mr. 0 3baldeston, Sir Bellingham Graham, Mr. Anstruthlr ThomPaon, Lord Anson, and Mr. Selby Lowndes, wits submitting himself to be tried to a very high form. And 11 , / linty be said to have succeeded as well as could be expected, considering that when he came into possession of the country he 'was like the heir to a dilapidated estate, for all he ce"uld boast of having was the bare walls of a kennel, built with_ that lavish regard to expanse which so : characterised the late Lord Anson, or, as we should more correctly state, Lord j Lichfield. Still, where there is a direct communication between the heart and the pocket, with a terminus at the I bank, both kennels and stables are never-very long tenant ! less ; so by draughts from Mr. Meynell Ingram, the - North j Warwickshire, and the South Wilts, the former were re filled, while John Darliy, of Itu , by - Was the recruiting, Officer for the latter, and, it is needless to say, with the very best results to all parties concerned ; far during the four seasons Lord Curzon has carried the horn, the turn-out of horses and hounds Las been such as to convey to• those who- have • hunted with him, the impression that ho knows his business better than could have been conjectured from his short.apprenticeship, while the good feeling which prevails in the hunt is much strengthened by his conduct in the field, which combines I courtesy with firmness ; consequently, what is termed + , a scene in the Atherstone country " is an unheard-of event. For some time the Atherstone wernalmost as dire sufferers from kennel lameness as her Majesty's steghounds, owing to the nature of the foundations ;•but by adopting the plan of the late Charles Davis, at Ascot, of having the floors of the lodging-houses taken- up, the- subsoil--taken -up, and yellow clay substituted, the disorder has been in a great measure remedied. In the field Lord Cnrzon makes no pretensions to being a bruising rider, but he is invariably near enough to his hounds to know what they are about ; and with Dickens for his huntsman, and a stud of twenty three first-class hunters, he has shown himself equal to the occasion ; and when his mastership terminates, he will be said to be one of the pleasantest and best done of any in the annals of the Atherstone. Lori Curzon, we should add, is married to Miss Sturt, daughter of the late Mr. H. G. Sturt, of Critchill, and' is, moreover, brother to the Duchess of Beaufort, the Countess of Westmdreland, and the Hon. Lady Kingscote; but alhough thus associated with such distinguished racing families ho newer evinced any taste for tho Turf. The Franklin Expedition. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. beg leave to enclose copy of a letter which I have just received from my father, Mr. 11. Grin nell, of New York, giving the late 4 information from the American Arctic explorer, Mr. C. F. Hall, who has been gudeavourin g during the last three years, solely by the assistance of the Esquimaux, to reach King William's Land, with the hope of dis covering the journals of Sir John Franklin's expe dition. As the facts related in Mr. Chappell's let ter maybe of interest to those connected with Arctic affairs, I venture to transmit it to you for publica tion.—l am, &c., C. GRINNELL. 180, Piccadilly, Nov. 30. "New London, Connecticut, United States, Nov. 16, 1866. "Dear Sir,—The steam-whaling bark Pioneer, Captain Ebenezer Morgan, from the northern seas, arrived at this port yesterday ; as this vessel fell in with Mr. C. F. Hall, the Arctic explorer, and yet brought no letters from him to his friends in the United States, I forward you Captain Morgan's statement of his interview and the success of Mr. Hall in his researches among the natives of the north-west coast of Hudson's Bay. The Pioneer reached the bead of Repulse Bay, north of Rowe's Welcome, on the 26th of July last; here they met Mr. Hall and his party of Esqui mau', all in good health at that time, engaged in fishing. His faithful adherents, Joe and Hannah, who aro well known to you, with some ten other natives, form his family or troupe. He had at that time n o white man in his com thoroughly inured to the Esqui and mau' killed one facespany . Mr. hear Hull e e wasws fromnl c h h e a m ff e e . c to i l e abgaadi npassed to in ee t e familiar win ter very comfortably, being mode of life, and having with his resources secured u station nim e ; he depots of provisions extending far into the a great many deer were found in great abundance. Ho had established amplewha e lszutsptpflaills, and of f o a o n d o t a h t er t h th is is interior, to be used in case of necessity. ,‘ Last spring Mr. Hall made a journey north-west to wards Committee Bay and King William's Land, but found the natives of that region so treacherous and jealous that he was forced to return when within 100 miles of his pro posed destination. This animosity and feud is between the different families and tribes of the Esquimau', who all carry weapons secretly, and do not hesitate to kill each other for any real or supposed injury; some of them threat ened the life of Mr. Hall and his party,. and they were obliged to return back. Mr. Hall has secured a great many relics of the survivors of the Franklin Exploring Expedi tion, together with some important documents which he believes to have been penned by Capt. Crozier, and has information of the location of others, which he is deter mined to obtain, believing them to be of much value to wards clearing up the, mystery of the fate of the unfortu nate survivors of the Erebus and Terror. Mr. hall is con tinually adding to his stock of inf ormation, and the object of his search being further known among the natives, ho is gathering nearly all the time fresh traces and new proofs, to establish previously known facts. Among other thing's he has heard of the location of a boat turned bottom up, under which are the dead bodies of 17 to 25 white men, with their hands and feet all cut off. The nativ es c l a i m that the mutilation was not done by them, but by some of the white men who were wrecked. The tradition of the Esquimau' is that a rebellion broke out among the sur vivors, who were endeavouring to reach Hudson's Thy, and that all but three were murdered ; th a t t h ese three remained among the natives, working their way towards white set tlements, but that they finally died before reaching them. Captain Morgan furnish e d M r. H all with such things l as he needed from his ship, an d states that two or threemeri can whaling vessels will winter at IL.pulso Bay this sea- " Ir. Hall exp resse d hi s great gratitude and regar d f or those tube hail aided Lim at h o me to und e rtake his plans of discovery, and s a id th a t h e was d e t erm i ne d t o carr y out Lis plans, and conclude Lis explorations in that quarter the en suing year. Ho wished very much to organise a small party of six or eight white men, fully armed, to accompany hint. Le could then travel with impunity, and reach the utmost limit of his desires. It is not impossible that such a party can be made up from the ships' crews wintering there. " Mr: Hall was preparing to send home by the Pioneer many relics, his journals, letters, &c. The ship move d some intending 50 miles for a better whaling gro und, fully • ding to return to Repulse Day ; but owing to the ice was unable to do so. This will account for the fact that she did not bring anything iron Mr. Jlall direct. Hoping these items may prove of interest to you, I re main Very, truly yours, " RICHARD IL CHAPPELL.
