NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The officers of the Small Arms Select Sub-Coin. rnittee of 'Woolwich Arsenal, composed of Lieut.- Colonel H. C. 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,ifor 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 i-inch bore, tested in various ranges, as reported in The Sun. This was fired a total of 113 rounds, charged witb the new Buxer 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. The 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 gram of the se'verai`,ll2' mark. Nevertheless, tli- ciuk4, as worked out by Sergeant Ward, Coast Brigade, on duty for that p ur p os e, 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 were fired at repeated intervals with complete success, after which the weapon was handed to Private Cross, Royal Marines, who ob tained 20 round s i n 49 secon d s. Th e 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 within the shelter of a brick wall in case of accident, the weapon was fired with six rounds of dam age d an d i mperfect car t r id ges , which, from the facility they afforded for the escape of gas, 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 searching and examination, without the appearance of any blemish 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 to 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. Tyler, Royal Engineers ; Capt. H. A. Tracy, Royal Artillery ; Ensign A. B. Wilby, 61st Regiment ; Purveyor E. Goodrich, and Staff-Surgeon Leslie, in medical charge.

A. Hood, C. 8., commanding the guniery establishment of Her Majesty's ship Excelleit. The plate weighed 6 tons, was 12ft. in length by :ft. in breadth, and Bin. in thickness. Nine shotswere fired at the plate, all striking in a space measuring 35in. by 18in., and seven of the shots ins, central space I.Bin, square, The plate proved to be of unusual excellence, and will receive a high classification. Messrs. J. Ellis and J. C. 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.TCapt. 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. \Vratten, chief engineer of the Steam Reserve, and Mr. Stall, 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. 11in. of water aft and 6ft. forward. Hurst and Blackett, 13, Great Marlborough-street.

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 thec,aproxi o 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, - a - ere-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 head 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 Wales of 4,734,486 acres, 2 ,519,170 acres were under cultivation, against 2 ,284,674 in 1866. The proportional num ber under each head in each of the two years were -corn crops, 22.8 and 20.7 ; green crops, 61 and 5.5 ; bare fallow, 4.8 and 3.4 ; clover, &c., 11.2 and and 11'9 ; permanent pasture, 551 and 58.5. In Scotland, of its 19,639,377 acres, 4,879,552 acres were under cultivation against 4,158,360 acres in 1866. The proportion per cent., under the different heads, in each of the years 1866 and 1867 were corn crops, 32 9 and 31.1 ; 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, 1 5,542,208 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, 25.1; green crops, 10-9 ; bare fallow, 21 ; clover, &c., 12.4 ; 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 bore, 20.4 were oats, 6 were rye, 6.8 were beans,and 4.2 were peas. In Wales, out of 100 acres under corn crops, 47.4 were oats, 28.4 were barley or bere, and 224 were wheat. In Scotland, out of 100 acres under corn crops, 73.1 were oats, 16.0 were barley or bore, 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 514 in 1866 ; Suffolk, 49.8, against 501 in 1866 ; Huntingdon, 48.5, against 401 in 1866 ; Bedford, 46.0, against 46.7 in 1806. The propors 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 141. In Wales the greatest proportion of corn crops was returned under Flint, 314, Denbigh 27.4, and Cardigan 26.9 ; in Scotland, under Clack mr!.nnan, 42.4, Haddington 401, 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 346 ; Holland, 2.64'; Belgium, 1.99 ; Wurtemberg, F 33 ; Sweden, 1.32 ; Austria, 1.31; Spain, FO5 ; Bavaria, 1.04 ; Prussia, 1.03 ; France, •93 ; United States, .76 ; and Denmark Proper, .72, In Great Britain the proportional The number of cattle in Great Britain in 1867 was 4,993,031-viz., 2,038,092 cows and heifers in m:lk 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 was 157.4. 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 531 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 88.0 in DJvon, 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, 1.1. . .4 in Lincoln, .17-2 and 44.3 in Middltiaei, 105 and 87.3 in Monmouth, 9.9 and 74:p in btorfollr, 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 Hiding, 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, 14,197,360, 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, 1,221,000. MEIROPOLITAN BOARD OP 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 those 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 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 biII.—JOHN 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.

" 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 actual compulsion in the case," says Lord Rus se ll, " an d I doubt whether tle introduction of the ballot would 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 of; landowners from 1688 to 1831, tended to promote ag - rical.. tare. " 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 3 a, digression, and the author returns suddenly to the strict 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 have its rights and perform its duties ; second, that the tenants of landowners should live in comfort and security ; third, that a produce should be obtained from the laud representing fair not very, skilful cultivation. These conditions are the 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 remedy f..t this complicated difficulty than that to be found in Mr. Chichester Fortaacuga bill. h e.a.ses of arbitrary eviction the tenant is entitled to compensation for hif.; improvements. Gentlemen of the Dublin bar might txt as arbitrators to fix the amount, holding special circuit courts for the purpose. No scheme violating the rights of property ought to be adopted, "and " even a plan 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 centugy 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 England. 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 of " Protestant ascendancy " to " Justice for Ireland," and this led to a total change in the spirit of the 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 ment 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 o? ril.*Vam.P.n 4 vlß.Ovt ma' Tu Le tidal "t% de - intist be upheld, her courts of justice must not be subject to appeal to Scotch Presbyteries, or Pan-Anglican Synod; 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 Rus. , ell says, "I have ally to add to this senti ment a fervent Amen." THEIR REMEDL 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 runt 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 abuse and foul language upon Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright, and the rest of the Liberals who have been t he pioneers of Reform." With an apology for any inaccuracies in his letter, Lord Russell concludes thus : " The English have the most perseverance, the Scotch the most sense, the Irish the most generosity. But all these nations, speaking one language, living in two islands closely connected, governed by a mixed race of Norman, Saxon, and Celt, are destined to form, as they have formed, through dangers, convulsions, and disasters, a community— or, if you will, an empire, distinguished by its high spirit, its freedom, and its civilisation. Let us only add Hibernia Pacata to our victories of peace, and the future may exceed the past." THE PENALTY OF DEATH IN SWITZERLAND.— The Grand Council of the canton of Friburg has just re established the penalty of death, which was abolished 20 years ago. Out of 85 votes, 51 supported the reintroduc tion. A MAN KILLED AND EATEN BY PIGS.—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 Cowpen-quay, Blyth. It was identified as that of Mark Long - 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 clothes nearlyall torn off by the pigs, and a po rtion of the body eaten away. A stretcher was procured and the body removed tohis home, when Dr. Wardle and Son were called in. No marks of violence were to be seen on the face, except a slight mark upon the upper lip, as if it had been pressed upon some railing or prop end. Deceased left the Ship, Crofton, about twelve o'clock on Saturday night, rather the worse for liquor, in company with a man named Thomas Richard son, who lives at Cowpen-quay. He left Richardson's about one o'clock on Sunday morning for Blyth, and was not again seen until the body was discovered as stated Above, Pcoemed has left a widow and three children PARTRIDGE AND COOPER , WHOLESALE MANUFACTURING STATIONERS, 192' FLEET-STREET (CORNER OF CHANCERY-LANE) LONDON , • , E. 0.• error c•-•Tar i r i u n. • ---- CARRIAGE PAID TO THE COUNTRY ON ORDERS OVER 20s.
