DEPUTATION TO Ma. GLADSTONE.—We are in-
formed that the deputation from the National Reform
Union will wait upon Mr. Gladstone to-morrow afternoon
at three o'clock. The members of the deputation will
assemble at the Westminster Palace Hotel at 2 o'clock,
and proceed thence to Mr. Gladstone's residence at Carl-
ton-house-terrace.

Mr. Cocks, of New Burlington-street, seems in-
defatigable in his publication of new music.
Amongst his latest productions we have a very brilliant
transposition of the favourite Welsh ballad, " The Maid of
Llangollen," by Brindley Richards, which doubtless will
become a universal favourite, because, although
abounding in telling and melodious passages, all
digital difficulties are carefully avoided, by which weans a
player of ordinary ability is enabled to perform the
piece with the greatest facility. The Barbara Valse, by
F. Godfrey, is pretty, and deserving a place in the Can-
terbury of every lady of taste. Amongst the new ballads
there is one by Dr. C. Mackay, entitled " The Quiet
Little Man," which cannot be sung without producing
a feeling of pleasure, both to the performer and the
listener. It is set in the key of G, and the accompaniment,
by Mr. Russell, is vary effective. "The Beauty of the
Mind," the words by Mr. C. Russell, and the "Song of
the Bee," the words by 7. Streaks, the music of both. being
the composition of Mr. W. T. Wrighton, aro both very
melodious, and being within the range of a soprano voice
of moderate compass they doubtless will become the
general favourites they deserve to be.

Halifax, with salt, struck on the middle of the long- bank,

AMMUNITION FOR SNIDER'S • RIFLE.—A War-
office return shows that up to the Ist of March 12,439,593
service cartridges (Boxer) for Snider rifles, had been manu-
factured at the •Royal Laboratory, and 204,710 proof car-
tridges ; en-Micro bail been stipp!ied by contract 3,019,525
empty cartridge cases, and 5,045,000 shells for percussion
caps. The cost of the 12,439,598 cartridges was .C 49,570,
but this is no criterion of the present cost. At the•com-
mencement of the manufacture there wits a want of suitable
machinery, and also a want of skill, and night. work was
adopted, and the price at first charged for metalellas been
reduced about 2.5 per cent. The east, therefore; is LOW
much lessened. None of this ammunition has bedOu con-
demned or broken up, but about 1,400,000 rounds of,,hall
have been converted into blank, owing to a change in the
pattern of the case.
