Experiments at Shoeburyness,

Some most curious experiments, and likely in their
result to lead to a better appreciation in this country
of the value of the rifled ordnance we possess, were
made during Monday and Tuesday with " Big
Will," the 600 pounder of Sir William Armstrong.
It is now very nearly two years since this magnifi-
cent forging was completed, and just a year and
four months since it was delivered for testing and
trial at Shoebury--an interval sufficiently long to
enable even the French and other Governments to
test the shunt principle, and so far approve it as to
provide themselves with both 70 and 300 pounders
built and rifled on Sir William's system, It is, of
course, mortifying to think that guns of this kind,
which have in a great measure been brought to per.
fection at the expense of this country, should have
gone into the service of foreign Governments ; bat,
on the other hand, Sir W. Armstrong and Mr Whit-
worth, both of whose guns have been sent abroad
very freely of late, may retort, with perfect justice,
that if the authorities chose to deny the value of
both their inventions, they could not be expected to
keep idle their vast plant, dismiss their hands, and
close their factories. Because two admirable guns
were pressed upon their notice our Government
determined to have neither, as they were uncertain
Which was best ; and it was just because they were
uncertain which was best that foreign Governments
haue taken a totally different course, and tried to
get as many of each as they could. It is to be
, hoped, however, that the course of experiments with
various rifled guns which is now being entered upon
at Shoebury may put an end to this vacillation,
and lead not alone to the adoption of a good gun,
but, above all, to its immediate and extensive manu-
facture. It is something towards a solution of this
question that one 600-pounder has been tried,
though the trial might have been made with the
same ease and certainty just 16 months ago. This
excellent specimen of forging was made by the Ele,
wick Ordnance Company. Its calibre is 131 inches,
its greatest external diameter 4 feet 52 inches, its
total length 15 feet 3 inches, siva its weight op.
wards of 22 tons. This was, when it was delivered,

PROSPECTUS.

This Company is established for the purpose of purchasing
the property and continuing the business of the well known
Oxford and Canterbury Music ilalfs, so successfully con-
ducted by the present proprietor, Mr. Charles Morton, for
several years pa,t.
The Directors, in bringing the present Company before the
public, are not inviting subscriptions to an unknown or un-
tried venture, but to an established and highly remunerative
undertaking, and one which, with the additional means at
the command of a Joint-stock Company, may be made still
more F O.

An agreement has been entered into for the purchase of the
whole of Mr. Morton's interest in these properties, together
with the goodwill of the business and the stock in trade, on
terms highly advantageous to the Company, and in order to
show his confidence in its future success, he has subscribed
for one-fourth of the entire capital, and will continue for
some years the manager.
It is the intention of the Company to increase the hotel
accommodation, which has hitherto been found inadequate,
and thus materially add to the present large returns. i here
is al.o an excellent private wine trade attached to both
establishment,+, which is capable of considerable extension.
It is impossib'e to show, with certainty, by any statistics,
the returns which may be expected from the present under-
taking, but the certilie€l accounts for the last three years
show an annual profit of upwards of 20 per cent. upon the
whole amount of capital, wh eh it ie ,antemplated eventually
to call up,
The present averacze attendance at the Oxford and Canter-
bury Music Halls is about 60,(T0 a mcnth, and the proposed
extension of business will doubtless render the profits of the
undertaking still more remunerative than ever.
One• half of the capita has been already applied for, and
applications for the remainder ,houl f be made to the bankers
of the Company. accompanied by a deposit of £1 per share ;
if no allotment be made he deposit will be returned.
Pros' ectuses and forms of applicatien for shares may be
obtained at the Oxford and the Canterbury, at the Brokers,
and at the Temporary Offic s of the Company.
The Share List will close on Tuesday, 26th July, 1864.

MURDER AT SEA. Yesterday information was
received at Lloyd's that the second mate of the Gustavus

month handed over to the custody of the authoritiesof Per-

The Albert prizes, which have occupied so large
a portion of the meeting, having been brought to a
close in regard to the first stage, the winners of the
different prizes had this day to enter into a new
cmpetition amongst themselves, the best to be en•
titled to a prize of £lOO, seven shots each, at 800,
900, and 1,000 yards. The shooting was of a very
superior order, Lieut. Burt, of the Ist Warwick,
making 28 points at 800, 24 at 900, and 24 at 1000
yards ; Lieut. Peterkin, of the Cambridge Univer■
sity, made 25 at 800, 21 at 900, and 20 at 1,000
yards; Lieut. Banting, 11th Middlesex (one of the
eelected eight for the International Competition),
made 25 points at 800, 19 at 900, and 23 at 1,000
yards. These were the highest scores for some
time, until Hercules Ross, Kincardine, began to
emulate the reputation of his brother, Capt. Edward
Ross, who made the extraordinary score of 73
points, and thus became the winner of the 2d stage
prize of £lOO. Mr Hercules Ross is one of the
eight who will compete in the International Match
on behalf of Scotland, and if his shooting is equal
to what it has been for other prizes, he will prove a
most valuable acquisition to the Scotch team. This
prize was won last year by Mr Martin Smith, of
the Victories, with a similar number.

PROSPECT US.

This Company is established for the purpose of purchasing
the property and continuing the business of the well known.

ducted by the present proprietor, Mr. Charles Morton, for
several years pa t.
The Directors, in bringing the present Company before the
public, are not inviting subscriptions to an uuknown or un-
tried venture, but to an established and highly remunerative
undertaking, and on'3 which, with the additional means at
the command of a Joint-stork Company, may be made still
more so.

A n agreement has been entcred into for thepurchase of the
whole of Mr. Morton's interest in these properties, together
with the goodwill of the business and the stock in trade, on
terms highly
advantageous to the Company, and in order to
show his confidence in its future succe,s, he has subscribed
for one-fourth of the entire capital, and will continue for
some years the manager.
It is the intention of the Company to increase the hotel
accommodation, which has hitherto been found inadequate,
and thus materially add to the present large returns. -.there

It is impossible to show, with certainty, by any statistics,

the returns which may be expected from'thepreient under-
taking, but the certifici accounts for the ia:t three years
show an annual profit of upwards of 20 per cent. upon the
whole amount of capital, wh chit is contemplated eventually
to call up,
The present average attendance at the Oxford and Canter-
bury Music Halls is about 60,K0 a mcnth, and the proposed
extension of bu4iness will doubtless render the profits of the
undertaking stilt more remunerative than ever.
One. half of the capita has been already applied for, and
applications for the remainder ,-howli be made to the bankers

if no allotment be made the deposit will be returned.

PROSPECTUS.

-- ---
This Company is established for the purpose of purchasing
the property and continuing the business of the well known
Oxford and Canterbury Musio Halls. sn suzcessfully con-
ducted by the present proprietor, Mr. Charles Morton, for
several years pa-t.
The Directors in bringing the present Company before the
public, are not inviting subscriptions to an unknown or un-
tried venture, but to an established and highly remunerative
undertaking,' and one which, with the additional means at
the command of a Joint-stock Company, may be made still
more so.
An agreement has been entered into for the purchase of the
whole of Mr. Morton's interest in these properties, together
with the goodwill of the business and the stock in trade, on
terms highly advantageous to the Company, and in order to
show his confidence in its future success, he has subscribed
for one-fourth of the entire capital, and will continue for
some years the manager.
It is the intention of the Company to increase the hot:1
accommodation, which has hitherto been found inadequate,
and thus materially add to the present large returns. i here
is also an exeellen, private wine trade attached to bath
establishments, which is capable of considerable extension.
It is impossible to show, with certainty, by any statistics,
the returns whioh may be expected from the present under-
taking, but the certifies) accounts for the last three years
show an annual profit of upwards of 20 per cent. upon the
whole amount of capital, wh chit is contemplated eventually
to call up,
The uresent average attendance at the Oxford and Canter-
bury M..sic Halts is about 61),(410 a mc nth, and the proposed
extension of business will doubtless render the profits of the
urviertaking still more remunerative than ever.
One•half of the capita has been already applied for, and
applications for the remainder ,houti be made to the barkers
of the Compzny. accompanied by a deposit of £1 per share ;
if no allotment be made he deposit will be returned.
Pros; ectuses and forms of applicati ,n for shares may be
obtained at the Oxford and tha Canterbury, at the Brokers,
and at the Temporary Offic s of the Company.
The Share List will °lose on Tuesday, 26th July, 1864.

HOME CIRCUIT.—Lwarss, July 20.

The learned Judges arrived here this morning, and Mr
Baron Martin openod the commission—and after attendance
at Divine Service ho proceeded to charge the grand jury,
and then both he and Mr Justice Willes proceeded at once
to try prisoners in order to make sure of getting through the
business. The calendar is in point of number, and, with
hardly an exception in point of gravity, rather light. There
were only 22 cases, almost all of them of an ordinary cha-
racter, and of these the bills were thrown out in several
cases. This was owing to the fact that the County Quar-
ter Sessions were held here the other day, and that on
Monday the Brighton Quarter Sessions were held before
Mr Locke, the Recorder, and a very larp number of cases
(nearly 40) being disposed of by him on that day and on
Tuesday, of course the result was considerably to lighten
the calendar, and relieve the learned Judges at the assizes.

CROWN COL RT.
(Before Mr Justice 'Willes.)
The first case tried before the learned Judge was one of
some interest, on aaount of its bearing on a somewhat im-
portant question of criminal procedure which has been
mooted lately, both in and out of Parliament, with respect
to the propriety of allowing prisoners to be examined. Yes-
terday the point was mentioned at the Brighton Sessions
before Mr Locke, the Recorder, a learned counsel observ-
ing, in the course his address on behalf of a prisoner,that
it would have been well for her if her evidence could have
been taken, as it would have established her innocence.
The learned Recorder, in summing up the case, remarked
upon this, and said that it must be borne in mind that if a
prisoner was permitted to be examined upoa his 01713 be.

THE KERTCH PRIZE MONEY.

Mr. J. EWART asked the Paymaster-General when the

cerned in the Kertch expedition would take place ?
31r. HUTT said he had every reason to believe that the
distribution would take place shortly.

Cape of Good Hope) New York, and Loanda, with
the reports of British naval officers relative to the slave
trade, and the correspondence (class
11), with British

Mr. LAYARD said he hoped he would be able to have
the documents in nuestion ready on the day after the meet.

Mr. W. E. FORSTER asked the Vice-President of the

tions had been issued by the committee demanding sixty
attendances from night scholars, before examination for
capitation grant,
instead of 24 attendances, the number
fixed in Art. 40 of the Revised Code.
Mr. BRUCE said there had been no such instructions.
He explained the nature of the alterations that had been
made. .
THE IRON PLATE COMMITTEE.
Mr. H. TRACY asked the Secretary to the Admiralty
whether it was true that the Iron Plate Committee were
about to terminate their labours ; and, if so, whether the
Admiralty would have any objection to lay the report of
their proceedings on the table of the house.
Lord C. PAGET said the committee, as soon as they had
terminated their inquiry, would cease to exist. There would
be no objection to lay their reports on the table, but as
there would be four bulky volumes, with sketches, he Would
lay half a dozen copies in the library for inspection, and if
it was thought necessary to print them he should Offer no
objection.

THE DANO-GERMAN WAR,

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH drew attention to this
question, and after commenting strongly on the conduct of
the allied armies, characterising the war as a war
against freedom carried on by despotic Powers; he
said he hoped the Conference would look into the
doings of the Germans, and when they considered the
subject of the contributions that had been imposed by the
Prussians, they should be informed that whilst war has its
rights humanity has rights also. (Hear, hear.) He con-
cluded by asking whether it was understood by
the Conference that war contibutions imposed
before the armistice was known in Jutland could
be collected during the suspension of arms; also,
whether any war contribution were to be imposed after the
armistice had become known, but, before the suspension of
arms commenced on the 12th; and, also, whether any new
war contributions were to be imposed during the suspension
of arms ?

Earl RUSSELL replied that the Conference had agreed
that during the suspension of hostilities there should not
be levied by the allied troops in Jutland or elsewhere, any
contributions of war, and, on the contrary, they will pay
for the articles they require for the troops. (Hear, hear.)
The Conference did not lay down any rules with regard to
the contributions previously imposed, but he believed the
spirit of the article was that the allied troops should cease to
levy contributions of war. That appeared to him to be the
fair spirit of the meaning of the Conference, which was
anxious to stop the effusion of blood, but was also anxious
to stop those contributions of war ; but having decided on
the main point, they have left it to the naval and military
commanders and others interested to settle the details
between each other. He was not authorised to say more.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH was sorry that nothing
more definite had been decided upon. There was nothing
he thought to prevent a lea' understanding that no new
contributions were to be levied during the armistice.
Earl RUSSELL—Not levy any contributions of war,
not that they would not levy any new contributions.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH regretted that the
Conference had not used the most decisive language to pre.
vent the levying of any contributions imposed before the
armistice. They seemed to have imposed the last contribu-
tion on the very last day on which the Conference met, in
fraud of the Conference in fact.
