The LORDS COMMISSIONERS Admiralty, 26th hereby g ive notice that the arrangements for the ADMIS SION of PERSONS, not already in the Government ser vice, to the Royal School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, as Admiralty Pupils, w ill, for the present year, be as follows : Candidates must not be less than 18 nor more than 21 years of age, and must have served at least two years in private shipbuilding or engineering establishments, or must give satisfactory proof that they have in some way been so connected with shipbuilding or engineering opera tions as to become well-grounded in the elementary prin ciples and practices thereof. The pupils will be selected by competitive examination, the subjects for which, and numbers of marks assigned for each, are as follows : Marks. Pure Mathematics, including—Arithmetic, mensu ration, geometry (plane and descriptive), plane trigonometry, and the elements of the differential and integral calculus 2500 Applied Mathematics, including mechanics and hydrostatics Practical Shipbuilding, including laying-off (for shipwright's candidates only) 2,500 Practical Marino Engineering (for engineer candi dates only) Elements of Physics and C h y mi s try 750 English Grammar and Composition 750 Geography and History No candidate will be admitted who does not obtain at least two-thirds of the full number of marks in the two first-named subjects, and three-fifths of the full number, either for practical shipbuilding or marine engineering. The last four subjects , a lthou g h counting in the com petition, will not be considered obligatory. The candidates who mirybe selected will be treated, while attached to the school, in all respects as the Admi ralty pupils ; they will receive wages the same as dock yard apprentices, commencing at Is. 6d. per day for six days per week for the first y ear, and increasing yearly 3d. per day till it reaches 2s. per day; and in addition a sub sistence allowance of 3s. per day for seven days per week while away from their homes, either at the school or inthe Do S ckyards. ix months of each year, viz., from November till May, will be devoted to study at the School, and the remaining six months to active work a nd the acquirement of practical knowledge in the dockyards. It is to be understood that the Admiralty make no en gagement to employ these pupils after the completion of their course of study ; and they must rely on their own worth as educated naval architects for obtaining employ ment in their subsequent career. The number of such pupils to be selected this y ear is ono shipwright and one engineer. Persons desirous of competing must forward their names, with a certificate of birth, and of the grounds on which they consider themselves practically qualified, enclosing proper certificates to that effect, to the Secretar y of the Admiralty not later than the Ist of September. The candidates should also state whether they wish to be examined as engineers or shipwrights. The examination will take place on the 23d September and three following days.

THE MANCHES7ER TRADES UNION INQUIRY. MANCHESTER, Sept. 9. FIFTH DAY. The proceedings opened at 11 o'clock. Mr. Commissioner Pickering said he wished to give notice that the Commission had possession of the Brickmakers' Society's box, and unless the keys were produced on Wednesday it would be broken open. George Harrop, inspector of police, at Droylsden, said he was on duty on the 28 th of June, in 1862, and on duty with him was Con stable William Jump at Smalishaw. Saw eight men going to war d s the Oldham-road. They had sticks and staves, and some had masks on. It was 2 o'clock, and a dull morning. Before they came up they left the foot path and walked in single file. Asked the last but one what was the meaning of it. Told the man if he had done nothing wrong he need not be afraid. He called out " Now, men," and witness got hold of him by the collar. They then collected together. Saw Burke, who said something ho did not under stand. Burke had a pistol and discharged it, catching witness over the right eye, and knocked his staff out of his hand. Two more shots were fired, one over his head and the other over his shoulder. Jump appeared to be engaged with the others. Witness had a struggle with three of them. He dropped one of the men and hit another, and hearing a discharge of firearms went towards Jump. Ho went to him and found him crouched down under the stile. He was shot in the breast. Sent for a doctor, and when the doctor came he was dead. Six men were taken, and Ward and Burke were committed at Liverpool Summer Assizes, con victed, and sentenced to penal servitude. Hipwell, Barlow, Ryan, and Toule were acquitted. Two of the pen, Dawson and Gregory, could not bo met publichouse. Don't remember that there was a president, but there was a treasurer. Clifford's not employing union men was mentioned at the meetings, but could not say how long. It was not long before action was taken, he heard John Ward mention it. Henson and others were there. They met in a hat shop. He was a district man, but Clifford's yard was not in his district. John Ward and John Hen son summoned him to the meeting at the hat shop. They and he were employed to warn people. Ward and Danson and Ilenson were present. It was at 10 o'clock on the night of the attack they met. He did not know what they were to receive, but should sup- pose about £5 or £6. Never received anything. Might have engaged in a job of this sort without without stipulating what they should receive, trust ing that the usual rate would be paid. Never re ceived as much as £5 for himself or on behalf of others. They separated after agreeing where to meet. Near the Old Church John Henson and him- self had some gin on their way. He carried a stick and Henson a pistol. Thomas Barlow carried a stick. They were good serviceable sticks. Burke had a pistol, and Ward had one. Those who car ried pistols had sticks also. Got to Clifford's yard about 12 on the 28th of June. There was a police- man at the kiln and two or three men with him, There were in the company Michael Burke, Thomas Barlow, Robert Ryan, Joln Tonle, John Henson, Gregory, and himself. The policeman and others at the kiln could not see them owing to the kiln fire and the darkness. They trampled on the bricks and destroyed about 18,000. In coming home we met with two policemen. Witness engaged with Har rop and threw a larg boulder stone at him. War d or llenson were to have paid him, but he did not get his. In November, 1861, an outrage took place at the house of John Tetlow, a master brickmaker at Ashton, who bad offended by employing non- Union men—Renshaw, Barlow, Ward, Ryan, Scho field, and himself. Witness got a pound himself for that job. They met before going in the waggon road out of Charles-town to agree upon it. lien son warned him to come to the meeting, which was at a publichouse he could not remember the name of. That was the night they made the attack. It was the 6th of November, 1861. They were to bottle him. Witness had a bottle given him. They used gill bottles. The bottle contained naphtha and blasting powder, but could not say as to whether they had slugs in them. They had fusees. They reached Tetlow's about midnight. He saw one bottle go through the windows of the bedroom Felton was supposed to be sleeping in. Four were thrown. He threw in his bottle through a window down stairs. Two . of the combus tible bottles were thrown at the bedrooms. He heard one explode in the bedroom, or two. One man had a dark lantern, and the fusee was lit, and the bottle was then thrown. Did not know if Tetlow's bricks had been destroyed since. Knew of an outrage in November, 1861, at Newton Wood, in consequence of employing non-union men. Henson, and John Ward and himself, and Thomas Barlow and Charles Barlow, Robert Ryan, and Burke and John Toule were employed for that, They met at Guide Bridge, and agreed to go and destroy the bricks. They had only sticks that night. Could not remember how many bricks were destroyed, but there was a good many. Could not remember what he was paid, but they all shared alike. Remembered the case at Dukinfield in 1865 at Blocksey's place. Himself and Thomas Barlow, Michael Burke, John Henson, and others to the number of eight, went there. Some of the men might have pistols in their pockets. They knocked down the walls and spoilt all the bricks they could. Was paid for that, and supposed the Union found the combustibles. Remembered Smithurst's case at the Guide Bridge. All the men who went were Union men. They were mostly the same men, and they destroyed as many bricks as they could. T he y were paid according t o w h a t they spoilt. Remem bered the case of Shepl e y a t Hyde. John Ward and himself watched with John Henson outside the stable. John Ward took a razor, and he and Thomas Barlow went in. They had settled they should hamstring the horses. They came out and said they had done the job —hamstrung the two horses. Saw the razor, but could not say as to seeing the blood. They had £lO for it, or £2 10s. each. The razor was thrown into the canal. Had heard of John Rogers being shot at, but was work ing at Oldham at the time. Thomas Barlow told him he was one who did it. It was not Rogers, but Mr. Rogers' watchman who was shot at. Believed Mr. Rogers was a brickmaker, but did not know of his quarrel. Did not know, but had heard of Sutcliffe's horse being hamstrung. Thomas Barlow told him he and Ward were drinking at a public house, and if Ward did he must have done it while he a gallon of beer. Knew of and heard of the attack ( C B h a a r r l l o o ws )B was wi o s fetching place, there, but was then at Oldham_ By Mr. Chance — Did not doubt but there were ar slugs in the bottles thrown into Tetlow's house. Did not know what they were for. They might be to frighten, but he had no doubt they would hurt if they hit any one. John Tonle, by Mr. Bastow—Clifford's property was injured three times before Jumps' murder, and twice since. Application was made to his men to go into the Union. The first time 15,000 or 16,000 bricks were destroyed. In October everything on the premises was burnt. There were planks, bar rows, a new shed which had just been built, boards, and shovels burnt. The damage amounted to about £4O. A bottle of naphtha was afterwards found on the premises. There must have been eight or ten men employed to do it. It was done at six o'clock in the evening. There were no bricks on the pre mises then to spoil. They must have been many men engaged, because they had to carry the planks a good way to the place where they collected them for burning. A reward was offered, but the men were not detected. There was another attack before Jump's murder. He thought it was in the summer of 1862, when 15,000 or 16,000 bricks were destroyed. The value mould be about £5. No one was apprehended. There had been two at tacks on the same premises since the murder, but witness could not give any details. At this stage of the inquiry, DU, W. P. Roberts said he had an application to well, Charles Barlow, and himself were there. They met together in Old-street in Ashton to go. He carried nothing with him that night. Spoilt all the bricks and did all the damage they could. Henson paid him £1 for it. The offence was not employing Union men. Remembered the attack on Bloxley in 1861 at at Dukinfield. Ward, Burke, Ryan, Toule, Hipwell, and Henson were there. Received 255. for that. Remembered the attack on Smet hurst's yard. There were six at that, and received 15s. for it. Remembered the attack on Shepley's, but was not present. On being cautioned he re membered that he was one. Henson, himself, Ward, and another were the four. He did not go into the stable. Ward went in and took a razor. Ward cut the hamstrings of the horses' legs. Did not see him do that, but heard him say he had done the job when he came out. Received 50s. for that from Henson. Thomas Harrison was treasurer of the club at that time. Had never been in any attack since Jump's job. Knew Mr. Rogers' brick yard. There was a meeting of the union because he would not employ union men. Two men were appointed to go to him to see if they could not arrange-matters. Henson and another went, but did not get him to comply with their wish. There was then another meeting, and believed Henson was president. John Barlow was secretary, and about 60 men were present. No resolution was come to at that meeting about Rogers, but something was said about making him have Union men. No men were named then, but afterwards himself and Ward, Henson, Ryan, Charles Barlow, and Jonathan Acton went to spoil Rogers' bricks. Acton and Ward had pistols. When they got there a dog came ont, and both Ward and Acton fired, and Newton, the watchman, was shot. Received from Henson for that. There was a meeting of the Union to talk of this afterwards, but he was not present. Witness described the attack on Clifford's property, when they fired the sheds, barrows, and other property, and said he was there. Had not seen Acton since Jump's job, and did not know where he was. Had hearcl that six or eight weeks ago Acton was working at Crewe. By Mr. Pickering—They took pistols to defend themselves with. Did not get money for that, be cause Acton made off with his share. John Barlow, by Mr. Barstow—ls now a master brickmaker at Droylsden. In 1860, 1861, and 1862, was secretary to the Ashton Bricklayers' Union at various times. There were a president, treasurer, secretary, and keyholders, elected quar terly ; no council. They were appointed at general meetings. All important business had to be deter mined on by a general meeting. The meetings would appoint men to wait upon an offending master, and exhaust every legal means to induce him to comply. There was then a general meeting, and of course they knew what had to be done then was unlawful. About 150 to 300 men attended these meetings. Remembered the officers Schofield, Henson, James Bateman, and others, who had held appointments. There were not many mm who had the qualifications. The principal causes of collision between masters and men were respecting wages and the employment of non-union men. In the case of finding a master was employing non-union men, they sent a deputation, and after that if he did not comply it was understood that another course was to be adopted. It was not settled who were to execute these things, but it was left to the treasurer, secretary, and president to say how much should be paid. There were generally a number of men who were ready to execute these affairs. The money for these outrages was generally entered before the auditors came as expenses, the auditors full well understanding what it meant. Only a small minority expressed a disapproval of these acts, but of course the majority decided. When horses were to be destroyed or bricks spoilt, it was not mentioned in general meetings, but the expen diture of money for such purposes was generally understood among the members. There were usually four or five cases of this kind to be settled while he was in office, and he understood it was so now. Believed he was in office when the two attacks on Clifford's took place before the murder, but could not remember if he paid for them, though he had no doubt they would be paid for. Witness paid for the defence of the men tried. More than £2OO was paid. Manchester, Oldham, Wigan, Liverpool, Sheffield, St. Helen's, and Birkenhead unions all subscribed for the defence of the men who com mitted the murder. By Mr. Pickering—Waited on the Stockport Union to get a subscription, and received £lO there. There was an amalgamated union at that time, and it was mooted that funds were wanted for this de fence, and it was agreed to apply to the different unions. Harrison and himself received over £2OO from the various societies for this defence. Shepley was a non-union master. Did not know whether he had paid money in Tetlow's case, but it would be paid. The attack on Barlow's place might be in 1863. Had no reason to believe that was done by Ashton union men. Remembered a man named Kirk. Bottles were thrown at his window. Did not know who did it. It would probably be in Hen son's time, because all the money witness paid was to Henson. Remembered Hobson's case. That was for paying less wages. Remembered Butterfield's case, but no money was paid by the Ashton Union for that. Paid Henson for the Newton-wood case £l4 or £l5. Some men were working for him on terms which were unsatisfactory. Witness was 17 years old when he first beca me secretar y , and was now 25. The books he ha d when he was in the soc iety were destroyed. Harriso n told him so • He did not destroy the books himself, and they would p th r By Mr. Pickering — ls a member now. Is eobmabinlyutbee-bdeesektrowyeeudlodnbtehperaeudduieteindg. day. Believed com pelled from his position to be one. John Piercy is l i secretary now. Bateman is treasurer. The books and box will be at the Drovers' Arms. Some leaves were torn out a short time ago because there was an entry which it was thought was unfit to be brought before a court like this. He was there and heard the tear, though he did not see who tore the leaves. Smith (secretary), Harrison, Frith, and Smith were present. The leaves were burnt. This was all the mutilation he knew of. Did not know if all the other books were to be found in the box, because he saw a new cash-book the last time he was at the club-room. Tho Court adjourned till Wodue,iday. second passed through the Hercules target, which is probably the strongest yet constructed. It is very necessary in the comparison of different artillery systems to distinguish between the many different questions involved. In the present almost international competition the principal questions are —lst. Racking v. punching; 2d. Comparative pene tration; 3d. Rifled v. smooth bore guns; 4th. The material of which the national ordnance is to be made. The difference between gunpowder is hardly a question, because, though ours is stronger than the American, we do not claim any advantage in that re spect,but rather the contrary, for quick burning pow der is too severe on the gun. The name by which the American powder used in the late experiments is known to the United States authorities is hardly settled yet, for there are many gunpowders in their list, and though the present sample is not the largest mammoth powder, such as was meant when we were told that 501 b. of it only equalled in strength 351 b. of No. 7 cannon powder, neither does it appear to correspond with the size of grain laid down for this latter. It is perhaps something between the two, and its name is still uncertain. " American service powder" was the name used in contracting for it, and American service powder it is, of a strength one-sixth less than English powder for heavy guns, whatever may be its exact title. No one at all acquainted with the subject can deny, in the face of all experiments made through out the world, that elongated shot are better calcu lated for penetration than round ones, nor did the Americans deny this when they first produced their heavy guns. They said that they did not wish to perforate or punch targets, but to smash them to pieces or " rack" them. Their ships were protected with "laminated" armour, by which is meant armour composed of several one inch plates hid upon each other and bolted together. This is a kind of structure easily shattered and even far more vul nerable to punching guns than solid plates or a lesser number of thicker plates. English constructors saw no difficulty in building ships that could not be racked by guns of the powers set forth in American publications, and the result of the late experiments has proved the truth of the assertion. It was only at close quarters and with charges of 601 b.—too much for continued firing, according to their own authorities—that officers were allowed to attempt to penetrate a strong ironclad ship. The contest be tween the advocates of racking and punching was hot, and we were unprepared for the vexation exhi bited throughout the United States when it was found their cast-iron and even our steel shot fired from their gun failed to penetrate the target. If penetra tion and not racking merely be now claimed for their guns the only points to be assured of are these. Is the average strength of a 15-inch gun sufficient to enable their naval and military authorities to au thorise the employment of 100 lb. charges, and, if so, will the projectiles which they use hold together long enough to get through when they strike Y A steel shot with 1,500 ft. of velocity will penetrate the Bin. plate and Warrior backing. A cast-iron shot may or may not, according to the excellence of its material. Probably, but not certainly, it will penetrate. Certainly neither of them will perforate the Hercules. It is very instructive to look back a little and see how short a time has elapsed since the object of ironclads was supposed to be the keeping out of shells. Mr. Whitworth's achievement when he fired a steel shell through the Warrior target rang through Europe, and now chilled shells with ogival heads have a power of penetration superior to that of shot. The 9-inch'gun sends its shells through the 8-inch target, and we know that no round shells from the 15-inch Rodman have a chance of piercing it, whatever may be the success of their shot. And then, be it remembered, this 15-inch gun weighs seven tons and a quarter more than the English 9- inch. Many honest inquirers who are watching the re sults of the trials may say—" There is something very odd about this matter. 'What is the virtue of the English gun that it can send its lighter projec tiles with lighter charges through a target that resists a far greater expenditure of ammunition on the part of the American gun ? Is it quite fair not to use chilled shot or shells which are so cheap and strong in both cases?" It is fair, and, indeed, it would be very unfair to the American gun to put chilled projectiles into it, and estimate its force by their effect. One chilled, or rather white iron shot, was fired from it at the 8-inch target, and did least damage of the three hurled against it on the same day, as would have been predicted beforehand by all who understand this not very abstruse question, while iron projectiles are very brittle, and are of little use unless they have sharp points, and are driven point foremost, which can only be done if the gun is rifled. The range at 32 deg. elevation and with 1001bs. c harge was 7,680 yards, the initial velocity about 1,538 feet a second ; 1,600 feet a second is a common ve l oc ity for smooth-bores, and much higher speed has been attained in the wrought-iron guns constructed some years ago for the navy. The Rodman gun is probably too short to burn all the powder before the shot leaves the muzzle, and a further increase of charge would not give proportionate velocity. Sixty pounds gives 1,170 feet per second, 100 lb. only in creases it to 1,538 feet, quite enough, however, to force an entrance into any of our ships at present afloat if the range is short, and if the gun is fired at right angles to the side of the ship. The least angle will affect your round shot more than a pointed one, because the former will glance, while the latter digs in its point and then turns at right angles to the target. This was well shown on Thursday last, when an 8-inch shell from a converted Palliser gun pierced the Warrior target at an angle of about 26 degrees, the weight of the shell being 180Ib., that of the charge 221 b. We hope that many interesting expe riments will yet be made with the American gun, and we 'sincerely congratulate Major Rodman on the excellence of his cast-iron, while we still adhere by preference to our own material, which is still stronger, especially for rifled guns, because grooves in a gun cast ou llodnian'a met h o d would vitally jump, but the little steel piece is soon to do its duty in actual war, unless wise and peaceful counsels pre vail at last in Abyssinia. Steel, while treacherous in large masses, from the difficulty of casting and working it equally, is a perfect, though rather ex pensive, material for small guns, and has been wisely chosen for mountain service. The carriage is also of steel, except the wheels, and nothing could be simpler than its general construction. It stood the force of recoil very well generally, though the wheels suffered a little from the recoil of the piece when fired at high angles of elevation. This mite of a gun, which a man might easily carry in his ar m s, for it weighs only 1501 b., sent its pretty little 71b. projectile 2,944 yards, or more than a mile and two thirds, with a charge of 6oz. of powder and an ele vation of 32 deg. Such long-range work is not, however, likely to be required of it, but rather shrap nel practice at ranges up to 1,000 yards, or less. At 500, 520, and 540 yards more than half the bullets in the shrapnel shell struck a target repre senting a column of men. With loz. of powder and the same elevation the projectile ranged 478 yards. The recoil, which was very lively when full charges were used, was brought under control by hobbling the carriage, a small rope being fixed from the point of the trail to one of the wheel spokes. The so-called 64-pounder gun converted on Pal liser's principle proved its value on Thursday by sending its shells through the Warrior plates, break ing once out of three rounds through the skin and setting the wooden backing on fire. The charge was 161 b., range 500 yards. The 8-inch converted gun did even more work at 70 yards' range, and angle of about 26 deg. to the face of the target. The first round at 30 deg. angle set the target on fire, the second at nearly 26 deg. passed through all, bursting just as it cleared the inner skin. Here are three instances of the value of rifled guns. Shell fire either penetrates the target opposed to these compa ratively light pieces, or sets the backing in flames. Let us once more put the state of the case before our readers. The smooth bored gun, with its service battering charge, and an expensive steel shot, fails to damage seriously a target which the rifled gun, leas than two-thirds the weight of its antagonist, penetrates with shells of a cheaper material. With an increased but dangerous charge the smooth bore will probably penetrate the target with shot, but never with shell. The rifled gun can be used in broad sides, the smoothbore only in turrets. Given the same weight of rifled gun, the effect will be much greater. If the material of which the guns are made be compared, we take the actual results obtained at Charleston, and fearlessly assert the superior strength of our ordnance, for the Federal pieces were de clared by Gen. Gilmore to be unable to fire 500 rounds with charges of only one-tenth the weight of the projectile. Our 9-inch rifled guns outlive many more than 500 rounds with charges of about one sixth the shot's or shell's weight. These are not theories but facts, and if any opposing facts can be urged in contradiction, they arc at least out of the bounds of our present experience, and we shall be glad to hear them. Such is the comparative power of the two systems of ordnance. The positive power of the Rodman with the powder lately fired is as follows :—With 601 b. of powder its power is very low compared with its weight. With 1001 b. it can penetrate the sides of any ship afloat in the English navy, and the 8-inch target at 70 yards, the shot's energy being about 153 tons per inch of circumference. This supposes that the projectile is of steel. Cast iron may or may not break up according to its quality. At 700 yards it would pierce the Warrior, Lord Warden, or Belle rophon, but probably not the 8-inch target, certainly not the Hercules or Monarch now on the stocks. Its power at 700 yards are much inferior to the 10-inch rifled gun, with 100 lb. of English powder, at the same range, the difference being about 56 foot tons per inch of circumference. At no range whatever would the American gun, with 100 lb charge, perforate the side of the Hercules. These calculations are based upon Capt. Noble's formula (which is in use in other countries besides England, Prussia for in stance ; and upon the known strength of the Eng lish targets). To complete the interest of the late experiments it would be well that the select com mittee should try targets on the American system and one of Krupp's heavy guns. Naval and Military Intelligence. With reference to the regulations recently made concerning the future proportion of non-commis sioned officers and soldiers on the marries establish ment of the army, the following was promulgated in the Camp Divisional Orders at Aldershot yester day for general information and guidance : " Horse Guards, Sept. 5.
