The new buildings connected with the Arm-
strong gun factory department at the Royal Arsenal,
Woolwich, are so far completed as to admit of the employ-
ment of upwards of 2,600 artisans and labourers, being
treble the number employed at the royal gun factories at
the corresponding period of last year. Arrangements are
now being carried out, under the 4irection of Mr.
John Anderson. superintendent of the depart-
ment, to commence the manufacture of a number of
100-pounder rifled ordnance, for which purpose one of
Nasmyth's steam hammers of the enormous weight of 20
tons, recently erected, will be brought into requisition. In
accordance with Admiralty instructions, a large number of
artizans and labourers employed at the dockyard and steam
factory department have received the usual notice of dis-
charge, the new vessels now M hand being in a forward
state. The men not on the establishment list will be dis-
charged at the rate of 50 per week.
EXTRAORDINARY BEQUESTS.—There has Just
been gathered to her fathers Agnes Hamilton,' grocer, Com-
mercial-road, Glasgow, an old miserly woman, at the age
of Si, and who has left £23,000 of her savings from a small
shop which she had rented for about 40 years. She was in
every respect a miser, but she was a miser-merchant, who
looked after the pence par exrellenee, and also after the
pounds. She was never married, and studiously avoided
parting with a single farthing that she could avoid. In
this way, and by dint of half starvation, she succeeded in
realising the above large sum, which she has bequeathed in
£4 annuities to dcstitutepeople of good moral character who
are natives of, and have lived in, the Gorbals parish of Glas-
gow 40 years, and who have attained the age of 65. As
the parish is small very flewqualified claimants exist, or can
exist. She has left nothing to any of her relations.
