Bayley were present as representing the firm of Sir John Brown and Company. The unarmoured twin-screw composite-built gun vessel Beacon, 2 guns, 120-horse power, 465 tons, Commander E. T. Parsons, recently fitted at the eastward for service on the West Coast of Africa, was put through her final trial of speed yesterday over the standard measured mile in Stokes Bay, off Portsmouth, prior to her departure from England for her station. - . Capt. W. Chamberlain, command ing her Majesty's ship Asia and the Steam Reserve at Portsmouth, conducted the trial, having on his staff Messrs. W. G. Wratten, chief engineer of the Steam Reserve, and Mr. Stail, of the Factory De partment. Six runs were made (the engines work ing at high pressure), which gave their respective speeds in knots :-9.302, 9 . 890, 9.399, 9.890, 9.302, and 9 - 785. These figures gave the ship a mean speed on the mile of 9 491 knots per hour. The machinery of the vessel consists of two sets of 60-horse power engines, manufactured by John Penn and Son, formerly belonging to gunboats that are now broken up, and converted now from two distinct sets for service in one twin-screw vessel. This conversion of the machinery of two of the old class of single-screw vessels for service in one of the new class of twin-screw vessels is being followed with all the composite-built vessels of the Beacon class. The Beacon's engines drive a pair of twin Griffiths' screws, each of which has a diameter of 6ft., a pitch of 6ft. 10in., and a length of 18in. The Beacon at the commencement of her trial drew 7ft. llin. of water aft and 61t. forward. PA INLE4I)ENTISTRY. NIESSRS. GABRIEL, DENTISTS (Established 1815), of London 5B, Harley-street, Cavendish-square, 64, Ludgate-hill, E.C., Liverpool 34, Duke-street, and Brighton have just published a NEW PAMPHLET explaining their Painless System of Dentistry, and self-adhesive Teeth without springs, at MODESATE CHARGES, which may be had free by post for four stamps. AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS. The detailed abstracts of the Agricultural Re turns, showing the acreage of land under crops, bare fallow, and grass, and the number of live stock in each county of Great Britain in 1867, have just been issued by the Board of Trade. The in formation was collected by the officers of the Inland Revenue, and the agency of the Post-office was largely used for the transmission of forms, &c. The results are framed upon a comparative sys tem, the returns for 1866 being published with those for 1867. In order that the exceptional character of any of the statistics of a particular county might be observed, we could wish that the figures in the two years were strictly comparable; but it appears the difference between the results in the different coun ties cannot always be taken for the actual variation in the acreage under crops and grass and in the number of live stock, as the returns for 1866 re late only to occupiers of five acres of land and up wards; whereas in the present inquiry, owing to the acreage and live stock returns being collected at the same time, it was necessary, in order to enumerate the live stock, to abandon the limit of five acres. The acreage returns were collected in the month of June in both years ; but the total acreage in 1867 is much increased in some counties, owing partly, to the returns from occupiers of less than five acres being included, but chiefly to the introduction in the forms, under the head of permanent pasture, of the word "down," and the substitution of the words " exclusive of heath or mountain land" for " exclu sive of hill pastures." It is believed that in 1866 a large acreage of down and other hilly grassland was left out of the returns. The variations in the acre age under " bare fallow" for the two years are partly owing to misconceptions as to the land that should have been returned under that head. Under the several corn and green crops, however, the acre age may be taken as showing very nearly the ex tent of the land cultivated with these crops in 1866 and 1867. Since the preliminary statement of the approxi mate results for 1867 was published for aggregate of counties the returns have undergone a careful re vision, and some discrepancies of the acreage returns in 1866 have also been corrected. Of the 56,964,000 statute acres of Great Britain, 29,831,078 acres were returned under crops, bare fallow, and grass, against 28,679,771 acres in 1866. The proportions per cent. in each of the two years 1866 and 1867 respectively, under the different heads, were-32.3 and 31.1 under corn crops, 12.4 and IF7 under green crops, 3.3 and 3.1 under bare fallow, 12.9 and 13.4 under clover and other grasses under rotation, and 38.9 and 40.5 permanent pasture, exclusive of heath mountain land. In England, of 32,590,397 acres, 22,932,356 acres were under cultivation, against 22,236,737 in 1866. The proportional numbers wider each bead in 1866 and 1867 were-corn crops, 33.1 and 32.3 ; green crops, 12.4 and 11.7 ; bare fallow, 3 . 4 and 3.3 ; clover, &c., 10.3 and 10.8 ; perma nent pasture, 40.5 and 41-6. In %%Tales of 4,734,486 acres, 2,519,170 acres were under cultivation, against 2,284,674 in 1866. The proportional num ber under each bead in each of the two years were -corn crops, 22.8 and 20.7 ; green crops, 6.1 and 5.5 ; bare fallow, 4.8 and 3.4 ; clover, &c., 11.2 and and 11 . 9 ; permanent pasture, 55.1 and 58.5. In Scotland, of its 19,639,377 acres, 4,379,552 acres were under cultivation against 4,158,360 acres in 1866. The proportion per cent., under the different heads, iu each of the years 1866 and 1867 were corn crops, 32 . 9 and 311 ; green crops, 15.9 and 15 . 3 ; bare fallow, 2 3 and 1.9 ; clover, &c., 271 and 27.7 ; permanent pasture 21.5 and 24-0. In the table showing the aggregate results the returns for Ireland are published ; thus, of its 20,322,641 acres, 15,542,208 acres were under cultivation in 1867, the proportional number of acres under each head closely following that returned in 1866. The results for the United Kingdom, including the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, are as follows : -Of 77,513,585 acres, 45,491,097 acres were under cultivation in 1867, against 44,345,260 in 1866. The proportional numbers, under each head, in 1867 were-corn crops, 251 ; green crops, 10-9 ; bare fallow, 21 ; clover, &c., 121 ; permanent pasture, 48.7. The proportion in 1866 differed little from those in 1867. Of 100 acres under corn crops in England, in 1867, 42.4 acres were wheat, 25.6 were barley or bere, 20.4 were oats, 6 were rye, 6.8 were beans,and 4.2 were peas. In Wales, out of 100 acres under corn crop, 47.4 were oats, 28.4 were barley or bere, and 22.4 were wheat. In Scotland, out of 100 acres under corn crops, 73.1 were oats, 16.0 were barley or bere, and 8.2 were wheat. In Ire land, out of 100 acres under corn crops, 78.5 were oats, and 12.4 were wheat. The percentages of acreage are exclusive of hops in Great Britain and flax in Ireland. The total number of persons from whom returns were obtained in 1867, in Great Britain, was as follows:—Occupiers of land owning live stock, and occupiers of land only, 469,452 ; owners of live stock only, 12,658 ; the average num ber of acres returned by each occupier being 63.5 acres. The counties of England in which the greatest portion of corn crops to total acreage under culti vation was returned were—Cambridge, 56 . 3 per cent., against 56.7 in 1866 ; Essex, 50 . 5 per cent., against 51.4 in 1866 ; Suffolk, 49.8, against 501 in 1866 ; Huntingdon, 48.5, against 401 in 1866 ; Bedford, 46.0, against 46.7 in 1866. The propor tional number of acres under corn crops in 1867 was small in Westmoreland, 9 9 per cent. ; Derby 16.7, Somerset 19.1, Monmouth 20.3, and Cumber land 14.1. In Wales the greatest proportion of corn crops was returned under Flint, 31.4, Denbigh 27.4, and Cardigan 26 . 9 ; in Scotland, under Clack mmnan, 42.4, Haddington 40.1, Banff 39.3, and Fife 39-3. From the returns of the acreage of crops in various foreign countries the following re sults may be deduced :—The number of mouths per English statute acre under corn crops in Nor way was 3.46 ; Holland, 2.64 ; Belgium, 1.99 ; IVurtemberg, 1.33 ; Sweden, 1.32 ; Austria, 1-31 ; Spain, 1.05 ; Bavaria, 1.04 ; Prussia, 1.03 ; France, -93 ; United States, -76 ; and Denmark groper, .72. LA Great Britain the proportioned PRICE.... 4d. STAMPED sd. number was 2 65. The estimated average yield of wheat in imperial bushels per acre was-23 in Hol land, 21 in Belgium, 23 in Austria, 23 in Spain, and 15 in France. The number of cattle in Great Britain in 1867 was 4,993,031-viz., 2,038,092 cows and heifers in • milk or in calf, 1,688,189 Other cattle under two years of age, and 1,266,753 aged two years and up wards. The number of sheep was 28,919,101, and the number of pigs was 2,966,979. The proportional number of live stock to every 100 acres under crops, fallow, and grass in Great Britain in 1867 was - cattle, 16.7 ; sheep, 96 . 9 ; pigs, 99. The propor tional number for sheep in England was 86.3 ; in Scotland it wa , ,. 1574. Turning to the counties of England, it is interesting to note that the propor tional number of cattle and sheep in 1867 to every hundred acres under crops, bare fallow, and grass was, respectively, 10.0 and 77.3 in Bedford, 8.3 and 96 . 1 in Berks, 14.8 and 90.0 in Bucks, 7.6 and 68.6 in Cambridge, 22.8 and 53.7 in Chester, 28.7 and 86 . 7 in Cornwall, 20.2 and 101.9 in Cumberland, 25 . 4 and 54.2 in Derby, 19.4 and 83.0 in D:von, and 14.9 and 115.8 in Dorset, 13.1 and 53.9 in Durham, 7.8 and 58.3 in Essex, 16.2 and 75.7 in Gloucester, 7.3 and 87.0 in Hants, 16.5 and 87.1 in Hereford, 7.2 and 65-5 in Hertford, 10.0 and 77.3 in Hunting don, 9 . 5 and 148.4 in Kent, 27.6 and 46.2 in Lan caster, 25.4 and 102.2 in Leicester, 11.6 and 117.4 in Lincoln, 17.2 and 41.3 in Middlesex, 16.8 and 87.3 in Monmouth, 9.9 and 74.5 in Norfolk, 18.0 and 104.3 in Northampton, 11.2 and 132.8 in Northumberland, 15.3 and 74.9 in Notting ham. 10.5 and 94.3 in Oxford, 16.4 and 139.3 in Rutland, 17.4 and 78.8 in Salop, 22'9 and 93.1 in Somerset, 19.9 and 63.0 in Stafford, 7.5 and 71.3 in Suffolk, 12.8 and 41.5 in Surrey, 13.8 88.8 in Sussex, 16.6 and 88.1 in Warwick, 22 . 8 and 147.9 in Westmoreland, 10.7 and 103.3 in Wilts, 12.5 and 70.7 in Worcester, 9.5 and 87.7 in the East Riding of York, 16.8 and 90.3 in the North Riding, and 18.5 and 71.2 in the West Riding. A statement of the live stock in foreign countries, according to the latest returns, shows the number of cattle, sheep, and pigs respectively to be as follows .-Russia in Europe, 22 ,816,000, 39,315,000, and 9,517,000; France, 1 4,197,360, 33,281,592, and 5,246,403 ; Austria, 9,173,472, 16,573,459, and 7,914,855; Prussia, 6,111,994, 10,329,030, and 3,257,531; Holland, 1,270,893, 1,088,016, and 519,000 ; Spain, 2,904,598, 22,054,967, and 4,264,817. The numbers in the United States for 1867 are estimated at 12,674,968, 32,795,797, and 13,616,876. In the United King dom the numbers were-cattle, 8,731,473 ; sheep, 33,817,951 ; and pigs, 4,221,000. MEIROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. Yesterday afternoon a special meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works was held at the office in Spring-gardens, Sir J. Thwaites in the chair. The meeting was convened specially to consider the following notice of motion :—" To receive report from Works and General Purposes Committee on the subject of Draught Bill, with reference to the loans and funds for carrying on the works under the existing Thames Embankment and Mansion house-street Acts, and also the works for the Thames Embankment Approaches, the Chelsea Embank ment, and the Park-lane Improvement, and to en able the Board to charge in aid the rates of the me tropolis and the general properties of the Board under thosa Acts." Mr. Pollard, the chief clerk, read the report, which was as follows :—" Metro politan Board of Works. Report of the Works and General Purposes Committee. Spring-gardens, Feb. 17,1868. Your committee have, in compliance with the resolution of the Board of Friday last, re considered the subject of the Draught Bill with re ference to the loans and funds for carrying on the works under the existing Thames Embankment and Mansion-house-street Acts, and the works for the Thames Embankment Approaches, the Chelsea Em bankment, and the Park-lane Improvement, and to enable the Board to charge in aid of those works the rates of the metropolis and the general proper ties of the Board under those Acts. It will be re membered that the bill was referred back to your committee to consider further the question of the amount which the Board should be authorised to borrow, and to make such alterations in the measure as should prevent any portion of the interest on such amount becoming a charge on the metropolitan ratepayers. These two questions have been very fully discussed by your committee, and they now beg to submit a copy of the bill altered to meet the views of the Board with respect to the question of interest, and they now beg to recommend the same for approval, subject to any verbal alteration which may be necessary in the amounts and the previsions of the bill.—Jo H N THWAITES, JOHN FREEMAN." After a short discussion the report was adopted by a majority of 23 to 3, the minority being Messrs. Healey, Silas Taylor, and Roche. Mr. Freeman then moved that the chairman should put himself in communication with the Government with re spect to the matter, which was carried, after which the Board adjourned.

Fletcher, Ist Battalion Scots Fusilier Guards, President ; Lord Spencer ; Captain John Rawlins, 48th Light Infantry ; Mr. E. Ross, Capt. Mackinnon, 3d Regiment (the Buffs), members, and Captain Haig, secretary, assembled yesterday at the official range, in the Plumstead-marsh, be yond the Royal Arsenal,lfor the purpose of witness ing the trial of some breech-loading rifles which have been submitted for their inspection and ap proval, and which were not ready to be tested dur ing the trials recently completed. The committee commenced their proceedings at 1 p.m. by firing over the 500 yards' range from shoulder rests. The first weapon fired was that of Mr. Kerr, of the London Armoury Company. The trial consisted simply of a few rounds, with a view of showing the system of his invention, to which some interest is said to be attached. The second and last tried yes terday was the Carter and Edwards 4-inch bore, tested in various ranges, as reported in The Sun. This was fired a total of 113 rounds, charged with the new Boxer cartridges, consisting of 75 grains of compressed powder and a bullet weighing 410 grains. The Carter and Edwards Rifle Company was represented on the ground by Mr. Bush. Th e firing party consisted of Sergeant Bott and three privates of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, in command of Lieut. Lecky. The weather was ex ceedingly favourable for the occasion, with the exception of some gusts of wind which blew across the range, to the detriment, probably, of the accu racy of aim in a few instances where the shots flew somewhat wide of the mark. Nevertheless, the dia gram of the several targets was tolerably good, and, as worked out by Sergeant Ward, Coast Brigade, on duty for that purpose, was as follows :--No. 1, 2.74 ; No. 2, 3.77 ; No. 3, 2.71; and No. 4, 2.75. The test for accuracy and mechanism having been thus completed, the committee proceeded to the back of the range and witnessed a test of rapid fir ing from the weapon, when 20 rounds were fired in 58 seconds by Sergeant Bott. This was pronounced by Colonel Fletcher very satisfactory, and this was succeeded by 10 rounds steady firing, as from the ranks. The committee then proposed filling the muzzle and breech of the muzzle with fine sand, similar to that with which the troops are assailed on their march in India. The barrel and breech piece were then thoroughly smothered, and three rounds of ball cartridge wer e fi re d at repea t e d intervals with complete success, a ft er w hi c h th e weapon was handed to Private Cross, Royal Marines, who ob tained 20 rounds in 49 seconds. The committee were then desirous of testing its power of endur ance, and lashing the rifle to a temporary rest, with the assistance of a dozen yards of line, so as to ad mit the riflemen w ithi n the shelter o f a b r i c k wa ll in case of accident, th e weapon was fired with six rounds of damaged an d i mper f ect cartr id ges , w hich, from the facility they a ff or d e d f or t h e esca p e o f g as, made the trial more than ordinarily severe. This, also, was successful, and terminated the trials. The 64-pounder Palliser rifle gun has completed its test at the Woolwich butt of the 2,000 rounds ordered by the War Department, and has undergone the usual searchin g and examination, without the appearance of any bl emish or signs of weakness. In consequence of the smallpox having - broken out on board the chartered troopship Isabella, taken up by the Government for the conveyance of troops from Chatham to Bermuda, the Royal Engineers who were about t o proceed in that vessel, have re turned to their headquarters, Brompton barracks, and the remaining troops sent into quarters at Gravesend, until the vessel is pronounced free from infection and fit to receive them on board. The troops selected to proceed to Bermuda in the Isa bella consist of detachments selected from the Royal Artillery, Royal Engineers, 61st Regiment, Com missariat Staff Corps, and Army Hospital Corps, together with the following officers :--Capt. E. S. Capt. H, A. Tracy, Royal Artillery ; Ensign A. E. Wilb y, 61 . st R eg i ment ; Tyler, Royal Engineers ; Purveyor E. Goodrich, and Stag-Surgeon Leslie, in medical charge.

In approaching the land question, Lord Russell ()Indies that we are met by theorists, some of whom suggest fixity of tenure, which means the transfer of land from the owner. to the tenant. " Yet," the pamphlet continues, "this cannot be done with any regard to the rights of property or the interests of the whole country." The question of the tenure of land is one chiefly of prevailing customs and of habit. In England the principal tenants, generally speaking, do not hold leases by their own choice, and yet they are ready to vote with their landlords. " There, is very little actu a l compulsion in the casr,c4 says Lord Russell, " an d I doubt whether th introduction eof the ball o t wou ld make much practical difference." In Scotland, the author maintains at the risk of being suspected of political heresy, that the restric,, tion of the franchise in counties to a limited number t landowners from 1688 to 1831, tended to promote agrit l a. tore. " The tenant having no vote, the landlord's sole object was to obtain a good rent, and have his land im proved." In Ireland the political franchises were too far. extended. This portion of the pamphlet appears to b; digression, and the author returns suddenly to the utrict question as between landlord and tenant. To divide the country into small' independent holdings would be, he maintains, a retrograde step. But the State should see, that three general rules are observed : "First, that property should hare its rights and perform its duties ; second, that the tenants of landowners should live in comfort and security ; third, that a producA should be obtained from the land representing fair. if not very skilful cultivation. These conditions are th e result of good government and its proof. Looking to the state of Ireland it is impossible to say that these conditions are performed." Lord Russell avows that he knows of no better ren:vy for this complicated difficulty than that t o be found Mr. Chichester Fortescue's bill. In cases of arbitrary eviction the • tenant is entitled to compensation for hi improvements. Gentl e m en o f th e D u bli n b ar might r as arbitrators to fi x th e amount, h old i ng special ci;cuit courts for the purpose. No schemeviolating the tight s of property ought to be adopted, and " even s pl an which, without violating the rights of property, proceeds on the supposition that Irish tenants are what they are not, and that they will do what they will not do, ought to be rejected." From this Lord Russell proceeds to make a further review of the condition of Ireland for a century past. THE CHURCH GRIEVANCE. In 1760 the Duke of Bedford gave his support to a measure which would have been nearly equivalent to the, Act of Toleration in Fngland. The Irish Privy Council rejected it. Other liberal measures met a similar fate, until O'Connell appeared in 1828, and the Roman Catholic Relief Bill was as much his work "as the Repeal of the Corn Laws was Mr. Cobden's, and the Reform Bill of 1867 was Mr. Bright's." The conflict upon the Appropri ation Clause is here discussed by the author, and his own resolution with reference to Irish policy (April 15, 1839) is, quoted. Lord Melbourne changed Sir Robert Peel's cry o a f nd " Pthriosteslterto a ascendancy neycjimtnoge7n the ee spiritfo of rlrelanl,e" Irish Administration. As to the Irish Church, the author wholly condemns it, and cites many quotations from other writers to prove its unsuitability to the state of things in which it is placed. The marvellous change in the condition of Scotland in modern times " was effected by the sacrifice of the Episcopal Church." The Protestant Established Church in Ireland is the main grievance of which the people have to complain. What, then, are the remedies? First, Lord Russell renounces his own plan of 1835. The Appropriation Clause would be of no service now. The adoption of a purely voluntary system in Ireland would prove, the author believes, a mis fortune to the country ; and he goes on to say— " I therefore come to the. conclusion that the endow. meet of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland, the en• dowment of the Presbyterian Church, and the reduction of the Protestant Episcopal Church to one-eighth of the present Church revenues of Ireland, would be just and salutary." Lord Russell does not believe that much is to be hoped from the progress of the "Reformation "in Ireland. He dwells upon the vicissitudes through which the Roman Church has passed in safety, and declares that it ought to be granted equal arms. The Roman Catholic bishops may prefer their grievance to a grant from the Imperial Trea sury, but— " Our only resource is to maintain the supremacy 0 Parliament as the great lay tribunal. `L'Etat est Laic,' as M. Guizot once said of France. The Queen's title must be upheld, her courts of justice must not be subject to appeal to Scotch Presbyteries, or Pan-Anglican Synods, or Roman tribunals." Lord Russell does not find fault with the present system of education in Ireland. The Queen, in a passage in her journal, commends it, as she saw it practised in Dublin, and wishes a similar system were adopted everywhere ; and Lord Russell says, " I have cn'y to add to this senti ment a fervent Amen." TIIEIR REMEDY. Lastly, the author points out that in order to extinguish Irish grievances a tide of public opinion in favour of gene rous measures is needed, and " a man or men fit to take the lead." It may be said that public opinion in England only yields to fear. But among instances of the same kind Lord Russell remarks, that the great Tory party did not embrace household suffrage " until the railings in Hyde Park had been levelled to the ground, and sundry meetings had taken place, more remarkable for their numbers and their physical force than for argument or for elo quence." As regards the man needed for the crisis, the author refers us to Mr. Gladstone. " The Uni versity of Oxford, overflowing with bigotry," might re ject him, " but I feel persuaded the great county of Lancaster would never fail him." The plan of operation for dealing with the Irish Church is then • described. "Two steps only are required : one a resolution of the House of Commons affirming the equality of the Churches ; the other an address to the Crown praying for measures to give effect to that resolution. Her Majesty's Ministers could not refuse to obey this command. Mr. Disraeli has already advocated the principle involved, and as he has publicly declared that he will not allow the Liberal party to have the monopoly of liberal measures, and he has educated his party, "we may expect that so easy a lesson as that of ecclesiastical equality in Ireland, the Pons Asino rum of political geometry, must have been mastered by all the more intelligent of his pupils." Lord Stanley asks for another year. "No ! let us say decidedly, No We cannot, therefore, accept the Bristol stone offered us by Lord Stanley as a real diamond." There must be a real union of the two nations, not a repeal of the union. The Liberals in this matter are like the pioneers of the Abys sinian Expedition—they clear the way : "We are fated to shew the way of Reform to Tory Ministers. So it has been with Catholic Emancipation ; with the Corn Laws ; with the Reform Act of 1867. For fifteen years we preached in vain that the admission of the working classes to the franchise was required by the state of society, and that it would strengthen the Consti tution." But Sir Robert Napier thanked the engineers for their aid, whereas, says the author; " those for whom we cleared away the obstacles find a pleasure in heaping abu se and foul language upon Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright, and the rest of the Liberals who have been the pioneers of Reform." With an apology for any inaccuracies in his letter, Lord Russell concludes thus : ix ~T he Englishthaevreristhhe the mostmostpersgevenerearnecsiet,y,he But t ot a ch il these nations, the most sense, h elabnyguaamge, l e i d vin ra g c ierl of fwNo Norman, closely connected, c , Saxon, and Celt, are destined to form, as th ey have formed, tesPde, speaking governedo one th ro ugh dangers, convulsions, a n d di sasters, a community— or, if you will, an empire, distinguished by it s hi g h sp i r i t, c t o io its freedom, and its civilisation.

Out of 85 votes, 51 supported the reintroduc tion. A MAN KILLED AND EATEN BY P I GS. On Sunday morning, about nine o'clock, the body of a man was discovered in one of the pigsties adjoining the side of the railway at Coupen-quay, Blyth. It was identified as that of Mark Lon staff, trimmer, a native of Morpeth, who has followed the occupation of trimmer at Blyth for some years. The deceased was found in a sitting posture in one corner of the " outrake," with the clothesnea,rlyall torn off by the pigs, and a portion of the body eaten away. A stretcher was procured and the body removed to.his home, when Dr. Wardle and Son were called in.
