Charles Eastee, 4, fiungerford-street, St. George's-in-the-East, sou of the deceased, said that his father was a cooper, and was employed at the Steam Cooperage Company's works, in Hungerford street. Last Saturday he was paid £2 wages, but 3s. ld. was stopped. He went over to his wile and gave her £1 175., and told her that 3s. had been stopped, and he could not get it until Monday or Tuesday. There was a row, and deceased called his wife a bad name, and she also was abusive. How ever, they went out together afterwards to market. They returned home about half-past 10 o'clock, when witness was out. Upon witness coining in at 111 o'clock he found his father perfectly insensible, land his mother with a poker striking at the land- Ilady and others. She was in liquor. Deceased died next morning. Ellen Eastee, a little girl, now clothed in the workhouse dress, deposed that her mother grumbled about not having enough money to pay the land lady. Deceased ca ll e d h er names . She told himto go out. H e wen t out on to the steps ou t s id e th e door, and she th en went b eh i nd h i m an d fl ung hi m out on his head in the street. He lay insensible on the pavement. She then got a poker, but she did not strike him with it. She tried to strike other people. Sold in Bottles, 3s.

A fine start was effected, and for the first quar 4 ;er of a mile the boats raced well together; but in anothekr hundred yards Mr. Crump was leading. On ap proachir.g the bridge his lead was increased to quite a boat's length the spectators on the bridge could now plainly per ceive that the contest was virtually over, for it appeared that whilo Mr. Kershaw's crew had to contend with all their might and strength in the middle of the river against the rapid stream, their opponents were comparatively tak ing it easy under the burrowed bank. It was remarked by several of the lookers on that Mr. Kershaw's crew had nearly double, the work to do. After getting through the bridge the latter rather lessened the distance between them, but that was in consequence of the advantage of not hav ing to pass under the inside arch. After getting quite clear of the bridge Mr. Crump gradually increased his lead to the winning post, which he fussed first by nearly three boat lengths. Up to the present time no challenge has been received from Cambridge, and as the present term is nearly expired it will . most likely not be sent until' the be ginning of Lent Term.

Must not exceed that of the Enfield Rifle by more than 10 pe r 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 the Snider system. To be as capable, a lso, of being used without accident by imperfectly trained !lien and of being manufactured in quantities and of uni 'orM quality. i. 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 Enide r ' s converted Enfield rifle—also as little liable to acci eutal explosion as the same cartridge, and as capable of being manufactured in large quantities, and of uniform quality. K. CALIBRE. Optional. L. THE TWIST AND FORM OF GROOVE. Optional. m. THE LOCH. Optional. N. RAPIDITY OF FIRE. Capable of firing at least 12 rounds per minute, without a iming, the cartridges being arranged on a table. 0 . ACCURACY WHEN FIRED FROII A FIXED REST.

Wax on bullets is indispensable, but any other lubricant Snag be superadded or applied to the cartridge, if thought necessary by the competitor. 111. v , No arms will be received without the usual proof marks. ''Pecifications, 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 , 0 37 the Ordnance Select Committee and its associate mem- Ders, wbo 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 'arrant their being included in the competition, the con ditions of which are stated in this advertisement. EaeiCaccepieaCO;npetii;rwill 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- Maud.

A second reward of £6OO for the arm which, while at tainin a satisfactory degree of excellence in other particu ars, is g selected for merit in respect to its brooch 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 diehy may depend upon the rifling of the arm with which 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 each prize will be irrespective of any reward which may be given to the inventor of the arm finally adopted into the service.

It is indispensable that the arms be made to take a baronet. ,The Secretary of State offers a reward of 300 for the best ' l ngazine or Repeating Arm produced that fulfils the above c onditions ; 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 f or further trial, will be paid for at the rate of £6O each. This sum is to include 1,000 rounds of ammunition per ann. The Secretary of State will take care that no ingenious velty produced in anser to this advertisement shall be a dopted into the service w without proper acknowledgment, a nd that the name of the individual with whom it origi 4ates 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. J. ST.

This Hospital, toundel in the year 1828, the first to estab lish the principle of ft eti admission to the sick poor, without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders. is wholly de pendent for support on voluntary contributions and t -,aetea. It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in addition to this, the average number of attendanoe of the .lestitute sick has for a oensiderable period averaged between 3,000 and 4,000 weekly. The Committee earnestly solicit the ASSISTANCE of the benevolent, as the premises of this Hospital are capable of containing several hundred more beds had the Committee the requisite funds to maintain them. Contributions are received by their bankers, Messrs. Brown, Janson, and Co., Abchuroh-lane ; also by Messrs. Coutts and Co. ; Drummona and Co.; GLyn and Co. ; ferries and Co. ; Ransom and Co. ; Prescott, Grote, and Co.; Smith, Payne, and Co. ; Barclay and Co. ; 1i lamas, Beacon, and Co.; Nisbet and Co., Beruers-street : and at the Hospital. from 10 till h.

Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refusedadmittance, a n d h ave to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving? The smallest donation will bo most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the dectitute will be offered in your behalf.

The Ist Surrey Rifle Volunteer Corps, which has the reputation of being one of the smartest in the service, had its presentation of prizes on Thursday evening at the bead-quarters--a ceremony which was witnessed by the Inspector-General of the Force and a very large and fashionable assembly. Lady Pollock, who made the presentation, was ac companied by General Sir George Pollock, G.C.8., and K. 5.1., honorary colonel of the regiment. Col. Macdonald, the Commandant, stated that this year, the seventh of the corps existence, the regimentwas not only stronger and more vigorous than it had been before, but it was more efficient. The shoot ing had been good during the year, and it was that night to be handsomely rewarded by the prizes there displayed, and which were of the aggregate value of £360. Ile referred to the high position gained by members in matches and to the honours won by the corps at 'Wimbledon and in Belgium, and he particularly referred to the gold medal won by Bandmaster Callcott, in the bands' competition at Brussels. The prizes were then given, the chief winners of which were Colour-Sergeant . Puckle, Private A. 11. Weir, Mr. J. T. Macrone, Mr. J. J. Curtis, and Colour-Sergeant John Chishc'lme, the champion shot of the corps this year. Thanks having been given to Lady Pollock and acknow ledged by Sir George, who expressed his high satis faction with the discipline and efficiency of the regiment, Colonel Erskine addressed the assemblage. lie said he could not but feel the highest admiration for the head-quarters of the Ist Surrey, and he was sure that nothing tended more in the whole range of the Volunteer movement to promote the efficiency of a regiment than the advantage of social inter course likely to be provided in such head-quarters as the regiment possessed. Cheers for the Inspector- General, for the Commandant, and for the hon. Colonel closed the proceedings. On Thursday the ceremony of distributing the prizes to the North-East London Rifle Bri gade took place in the presence of an immense concourse of people in the drill-hall, a converted east-end theatre. The corps—a full muster of a large regiment—was drawn up in the hall, and was inspected by Colonel Richardson-Gardner, the honorary colonel, accompanied by Colonel Money, the commandant, who, in the course of an address he delivered upon the condition of the regiment and the general advance of the Volunteer movement, stated that there was an increase of 230 efficients this year, the number being 853 as against 623 last year. lie mentioned as a novel reward of Volun teers, that it was intended to give medals to those members who had completed five consecutive years as efficient members of the corps, and those medals would be claimed by 73 members. Mrs. Richard son-Gardner proceeded to give the prizes, among which was a very handsome cup, value 100 guineas, presented by the inhabitants of the district, through Mr. Frederic Till, who also presented several other prizes. Quartermaster-Sergeant Patrick was the best shot for the year. On Friday evening Westminster-ball was the scene of the presentation of prizes to the 19th Mid dlesex, which is known among the Metropolitans as " The Tom Browns," being commanded by Lieu tenant-Colonel Hughes. The prizes, a large and valuable display, were mostly articles of a useful character, as barometers, clocks, timepieces, books, and tea services, but included pictures, statues, and busts. Colonel Hughes, who was received with cheers, opened the proceedings. He said he was happy to congratulate the corps upon both its con duct as a regiment and upon the results of what he might call the "corps life." With respect to the very important subject of numbers, the corps had in 1865 627 enrolled members, and this year it had 612. The efficients in 1865 were 498, while this year there were 492, and the deficiency, he after wards explained ; had been caused by 30 men leav ing to go to another corps. But in regard to extra efficients and marksmen the corps had gained ground and the progress had been extremely good, for in 1865 there were 149 extra efficients—namely, men who had earned the extra Government grant for shooting through the classes, and obtaining a cer tain rank, this year there were 252, and this year there were 57 marksmen against 28 in 1865. With regard to drill, too, he said the corps had still maintained its good name, as it had up wards of two-thirds of its strength at the inspec tion and the great field days of the year, and in the course of the year there had been 81 drills ordered, of which one member, Sergeant Ferobie, had attended every one, and Colour -Sergeant Wells had Wended all save one. The sth Company, he mentioned, was the best company in the corps, hav ing 81 out of its 86 members efficients ; the two non-efficients being recruits who had not served their full time of being reckoned efficients. Of the com pany, too, half were extra efficients, and it had the honour of finding the best shot of the regiment the winner of the badge and three stars, the highest honour of a regiment. lie took occasion to remark that much of the increased extra efficiency was doubtless due to the fact that the \Vest Middlesex had in the most kindly spirit lent the corps the use of their range at the " Scrubbs," and many who could not have gone to Epsom, where the 19th's range was, had taken the opportunity to class. He remarked that the condition of the 19th would stand any test, and a more efficient body of officers could not be found in any corps ; and he believed this arose from the fact that he, believing in constitu tional Government, had encouraged the system of an election of officers, he having the right of vetoing any election if he thought that the right man had not been elected. Ile concluded by calling upon the Volunteers to make the habits of discipline incul cated in the force of service and of benefit in being brought to bear upon their home duties. Colonel Colville, one of the War-office Inspectors, addressed the corps, after which Mrs. Hughes distributed the prizes, among which were seven Westley Richards breechloaders, all given by Captain Williams. The " best shot" was Corporal G utteridge. Major Oxley, at the conclusion, called for cheers for Mrs. Hughes, and these were given, as were cheers for the very popular Commandant. The return match between 10 non-commissioned officers of the 19th Middlesex and 10 non-commissioned officers of the 37tb Middlesex came off at the Epsom range on the 3d inst. 19th Middlesex, 339 ; 37th Middlesex, 286 majority for 19th, 53 points. A very strong wind from the right will account for the bad scores. On Saturday evening the South (2d) Middlesex Rifle Corps, one of the earliest formed regiments in the service, held its annual prize presentation at Beaufort-house, Walham-green. Colonel Viscount itanclagh, the Commandant presided, and stated in his opening remarks that the shooting, had at least been equal to that of the previous year, and that the South Middlesex had well maintained its repu tation as a shooting regiment. Members of it, he aid, had not only won prizai in their own corps, but had brought souvenirs of their skill from Bel gium. In reference to the question of Volunteers leaving the force, he said that in many cases this arose from men leaving the district in which they joined, and being unwilling to incur the expense of a different uniform. He thought that each arm of the service should adopt one uniform, the rifles one distinct dress and the artillery another, for then a man would not be lost to the service though chang ing his residence, as was now often the case. His lordship stated that one member bad resigned in consequence of the Beaufort-house grounds being lent for the purposes of the " demonstration" of Monday last, that member being of opinion that the head-quarters of a Volunteer corps ought not to be associated with a political purpose. With respect to this matter his lordship said he had allowed the use of the ground with a view of preventing a repetition of the disgraceful scenes which had been witnessed in the parks. The prizes consisted chiefly of silver and other cups, clocks, watches, jewellery, revolvers, and rifles. The champion badge was taken by Private Verity, the challenge cup of the first company by Sergeant-Inspector Milner, who also won the Marksmen's Cup. The cup of the guardians of Chelsea was won by Private Richards, and the challenge cup of the second company by Corporal 11. Bird. The Visit of Belgians to England. The first meeting of the Belgian Reception Com mittee took place ;on Friday last, under the pre sidency of Viscount Bury. Viscount Bury, after referring to the number of distinguished names which had been sent to be placed on the general committee, and to the success which he had no doubt would attend the movement when the organisation was complete, suggested the adviSability of ascertaining at as early a period as possible the number and position of the Belgians likely to accept the invitation as our guests during the forthcominn national Rifle Association Meeting , at Wimbledon. As he had before observed, the re ception of the British volunteers in Belgium was not merely that of the Garde Civique, but there were a number of the military general officers, the staff of the King, the burgomaster and municipali ties of Brussels, Ostend, Antwerp, _float, Bruges, and Ghent, who also did them great honour, and treated them with great hospitality, and to all these invitations should be extended. (hear, h.ar.) This rendered it necessary that our movement here should not be merely a voluntary one, but a national one, and they should take measures for securing the for mation of committees and the co-operation of the nobility, gentry, and the general public in every district and country in the kingdom. (Mar, hear.) It was his idea, however, that one of their first steps should be to acquaint the Belgian authorities of what their organisation was, and ascertain, if pos sible, those who would be likely to accept our in vitation as guests. (Hear, hear.) Acting upon this suggestion on the motion of Colonel. Gregory, it was unanimously resolved, " That Lord Bury be requested to take such steps as he may think desirable in the way of communi cation with those in Belgium whom be thinks should be invited as our guests." A discussion took place as to whether any portion of our Belgian visitors might or might not prefer the novelties of an encampment at Wimbledon, and as to communications with the national Rifle Asso ciation upon the subject ; but it was felt that these were matters for after consideration, and that as the main duties of the committee, which would ex pire on the 15th of February next, were at present merely a preliminary organisation and money-col lecting committee, it was, therefore, resolved— " That, with a view of carrying out these objects, communications should be made to commanding officers of volunteer regiments, to high sheriffs of counties, mayors of cities and towns, members of Parliament and others, asking them to place their names on the general committee, and to form local committees in aid of the movement." A vote of thanks to Lord Bury closed the proceedings. The Engineer reports an interesting scientific ex periment. Hitherto, it says, it has been found im possible to adopt the ordinary planing machines for curvilinear planing, but at length this problem has been solved by Mr. Middleton, the head of the machinery department in Chatham dockyard, who has succeeded in planing the whole of the curves and angular surfaces of the iron stempiece for the Monarch, with no other appliances than the com mon planing machines. The Board of Trade returns in England for the month of October, which have just appeared, show a slight decrease in the number of vessels entered in the foreign trade as compared with those of the corresponding month of last year. But the export trade exhibits a decided increase, indicated by the employment of a larger number of British vessels. Of foreign shipping entered inwards ° durino• the a b ove month there is, as compared with last year, an increase of tonnage from Norway, and a decrease from Prussia, France, Austria, and the United St a tes. The exports of foreig n vessels during the same time show very little alteration, except as to France, which exhibits a decrease. During this month 567 vessels have arrived from, and 373 have departed to, our British possessions, and our com merce with other countries is represented by an im port trade of 1 ,094,598 and an export trade of 1,091,695 tons. It is said that a joint commission is about to be appointed by the British and French Governments for the purpose of investigating and improving the fishery laws of the two countries. The departure of the French troops from Rome has commenced. On Monday last the 85th Regi ment left the Eternal City, the officers having pre viously received the Pope's benediction. SMITHFIELD CLUB SHOW, AGRICULTURAL HALL. —The live stock for this show continued arriving by train up to ten o'clock on Saturday night. Not one case of disease of any kind had occurred. Indeed the animals wero all unusually fresh and healthy, not having been exhausted by exhibition at any other show. The numbers fall some 30 below those of last year, th e c hi e f falling off being in th e Scotch, Irish, and long-horned cattle classes ; but the stewards were unanimous in de claring that in quality of cattle and sheep the show of 1867 is the best they remember.

Maria Olive, the landlady, said that on the after noon in question she heard a great disturbance. Mrs. Estee called witness ant said, " I had a half quartern of ginger brandy and my husband drank half of it, and called me . a bad name. Do I look like what he called me ?" Deceased said, " She won't believe that they stopped 3s. id. of my wages, and that I cannot get it till Monday or Tuesday." Witness took a quiet opportunity of expostulating with the deceased when his wife was not present, and said, " Remember when your wife ' broke out' before it was through a quarrel. You have called her a bad name, and if she breaks out now, you know what you have to expect. She will sell your home to get money to buy drink, as she did before." They then went out marketing together. Witness also went out, but on coming home at half-past 10 she found deceased lying nearly dead on the flags in front of the house. Witness said to Mrs. Eastee, " You are a wicked woman! You have killed your husband." Mrs. Eastee got a poker, and saying, "Me a wicked woman ! I'll show you the differ. ence !" rushed at witness and would have slain her as well as the deceased only some persons interfered. Deceased was carried indoors, and he died on Sun- day morning. Dr. 11. Tainton said that he was called in to the deceased on Sunday morning last, and fo•ind him quite dead. The post-mortem examination showed an extensive fracture of the skull and consequent injury to the brain, which had caused death. A very heavy fall would have produced the injuries. A witness stated that tha deceased was flung from the top of the steps on to the flags with such force that it seemed " as if he had been flung out of the house in a sack." The Coroner having summe(l up the evidence, The Jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter against Elizabeth Eastee for feloniously slaying Charles Eastee, her husband." The Coroner then issued his warrant for the de tention of the accused in Newgate to await her trial at the Central Criminal Court. The banish Government 'am just granted a con cession which monopolises public attention. A great port is to be built at the northern part of Elsineur. Elsineur commands the Sund, which is the most easy passage from the Northern Sea to the Baltic. The ships of every nation converge tow.trds that point, which seems to have been marked by nature to be the mart town for the east and the west of the globe. To the south of Kronborg, the fort de fending Elsineur, and at the foot of which stands the actual port, the sea begins to freeze. But on the north of Kronborg, where the new port is to be constructed, the current, which is exceedingly rapi I, disperses the ice, and the navigation remains open the whole year. Moreover, Elsineur is in the way followed by the numberless goods which Eng land, Americ I, and France exchange for produce from Russia, Eastern Prussia, and Sweden. From 400 to 500 ships are sometimes anchored off Kron borg waiting a propitious wind to enter into or to come from the Baltic Sea, thus losing most precious time. On the average from thirty to forty thou sand ships annually call at Elsineur. The new port of Elsineur will procure the immense boon of sup pressing the dues levied upon unloading and re loading, because it will be no longer necessary to have the warehouses in the town which foreign ship ping were obliged to keep. Large warehouses will be built in the new port, and the ships from the Neva will be able to bring their cargoes direct, thus saving both time and money, and those cargoes will be bought on the spot without the sellers or buyers having to bear the double expedse of disembarking, which they were incurring with the actual system. The new port will cover an area of a little more than two millions of square yards. The conces sionnaire, M.
