viz., 12 half-inch elm planks, which have been soaked 48
hours in water. ,

Distance 30 yards.
s. LUBRICATION.
Wax on bullets is indispensable, but any other lubricant
may be superadded or applied to the cartridge, if thought
necessary by the competitor.

No arms will bo received without the usual proof marks.
Specifications, and drawings of the methods proposed,
stating the probable cost per arm, and accompanied by a
finished specimen arm, with 20 rounds of suitable ammu-
nition, should be sent to the !' Director of Ordnanc", War
Office, Pall-mall," on or before the 30th March, 18G7.
The specifications and specimen arms will be considered
by the Ordnance Select Committee and its associate mem-
bers, who will be selected by the Secretary of State for
War, and who will, after firing the 20 preliminary rounds,
select and recommend for further trial such of the systems
as may appear to them sufficiently promising, rejecting all
such as may not be considered to offer sufficient merits to
warrant their being included in the competition, the con-
ditions of which are stated in this advertisement.

Each accepted competitor will then be required to furnish
for experiment, at Woolwich, six arms in strict conformity
to the specimen arm submitted, with 1,000 rounds of am-
munition per arm, within four months after date of de-
mand- Each competitor will be required to disclose,to tho
committee the exact nature of the lubrication ho may em-
ploy. A-sum of £3OO will be paid to each of the accepted
competitors, to cover the expense of the six rifles, and of
the supply of ammunition required.
The Secretary of State offers a reward of £l,OOO for the
arm which, on combination of all qualities, is considered
by the committee to be the best submitted.
A second reward of £6OO for the arm which, while at-
taining a satisfactory degrte of excellence in other particu-
lars, is selected for merit in respect to its breech mechanism.
A third reward of £4OO for the best cartridge. The qua-
lities which will be principally taken into consideration in
awarding this prize will bo economy of manufacture, power
of sustaining rough usage, freedom from deterioration! in
various climates, and general serviceability.
The shooting qualities of the cartridge must be fair; but
as they may depend upon the rifling of the arm with which
the cartridge is associated, they will not be so much con-
sidered as those above-mentioned. •
It is clearly to be understood that under no circumstances
will a competitor be entitled to more than one prize ; but
such prize will be irrespective of any reward which may be
given to the inventor of the arm finally adopted into the
service.
Iv

MAGAZINE AND REPEATING ARMS.
Magazine and Repeating Arms for Infantry will be re-
ceived and examined in a manner similar to the Breech-
loading Rifles. They must not be less in length than 48
inches, including the stock.
The limit of weight for these arms is fixed at 911 b. es
elusive of the charges in the magazine.
It is indispensable that the arms be made to take a
bayonet.
The Secretary of State offers a reward of 800 for the best
Magazine or Repeating Arm produced that fulfils the above
conditions ; and in the absence of experience' does not at
present define the standard of accuracy or other conditions
to be fulfilled before such an arm can be adopted.
Those Magazine orßepeatingArms, which are accepted
for further trial, will be paid for at the rate of £6O each.
This sum is to include 1,000 rounds of ammunition per
arm.

The Secretary of State will take care that no ingenious
novelty produced in answer to this advertisement shall be
adopted into the service without proper acknowledgment,
and that the name of the individual with whom it origi-
nates shall be recorded in connection with it:

If the rifle to which the first prize is awarded is adopted
into the service, it will bear the inventor's name.

Reform Demonstration at Edinburgh.

EDINBURGH, Saturday Evening.

The working classes to-day enjoyed a holyday in
the name if not in the cause of Reform. The pre-
parations for a grand display had been goitig on for
weeks, and the demonstration turned out a very
successful one in the most important points--goof
weather and numbers. Had the lashing rains of
yesterday, by any unhappy fortune, occurred to-day
instead, the display would have been ruined, and
the sick list of the community would have been grie-
vously lengthened. As it happened, however, the
morning was clear, crisp, and frosty, with the ther-
mometer several degrees below freezing, and the
ground bore an icy crust as hard as a rock. The
day was fortunately also sunny, and the banners
and devices as they gathered on Brnntisfield Links
had a showy and glittering appearance. The ad-
joining towns had been invited to join in the de-
monstration, and accordingly at an early hour seve-
ral thousand men marched up from Leith, while the
trains brought in large provincial accessions. Brun-
tisfield Links is the common of the ancient borough,
and offered a commodious muster-ground—sufficient
indeed for 60,000 or 100,000 men had they been
there. By 10 o'clock nearly all the trades had ar-
rived, headed by their bands or pipers, and about an
hour was spent in the difficult task of marshalling,
which was, all things considered, very successfully
performed. There was a large number of spectators
assembled on the muster-ground, but the principal
part of the intending sightseers had taken up their
places in the line of streets—about three mike—

which the proceE pion had to traverse. It was about
a quarter-past 11 that the head of the proces.sion
started from Barclay Church, led by the Edinburgh
and Leith carters mounted. The route was by Lo-
thian-road, Charlotte-square, ll'est George-street,
part of Higll-street, and Canon-'
South Ilanover-street, East Princes'-street, North-

hour and five minutes elapsed before the rear was
brought up. In Princes'-street and North-bridge
there was an immense number of spectators, repre •
senting all classes of the community, while in the
lower part of High-street and Canongate there
was a dense mass, chiefly of the lower ranks.
The procession marched very quickly, the pace be-
ing at least three and a half miles an hour, and by
the time the head of it reached the Queen's-park
the rear was only leaving the Links. The line
was, on the whole, pretty compact, and good
order was observed both by processionists and
spectators. Occasionally loud cheers were given by
men and lads elated by the display, the concourse
of spectators, and the pleasure of the rapid walk.
Like most of the Reform demonstrations, that of
to-day was chiefly remarkable as a holyday turn-
out. All the stock flags and devices used on -seca-
sions of display were brought out, and the.ocea.tou
had, of course, stimulated very greatly the produc-
tion- of new ones: Stifro-ofthelleform flags of 1832
once more appeared to view, and were duly labelled,
that all might know of their former service in the
cause. A good many Glasgow flags were seen,
having evidently been borrowed from the western
city. Among the political squibs we observed " the
Elcho Challenge Shield for 1865," field sable sur- I
mounted by death's head and cross-bones, and
trimmed with crape and white muslin. A full-sized
straw effigy, with wax head and good wig, and
wearing straw coat and top boots, was carried, bear-
' in; the inscription, " Our County Member." A
Haddington banner bore the words " There's hope
for Had'ten yet," with three asses' heads, respec-
tively titled E'clio, M.P., Lam Laing, and Bob Low,
with the line below " The happy and increasing
family of the Adulumites." But it was evidently
found easier to represent the Cave than to spell its
name, various spellings of which were to be found
in the course of the procession, while one of the
trades claimed " manhood sufferage," another
" vote by ballet," and another patriotically en-
twined a dedication to " the rose, thistle:and sham-
rack." Some of the trades' mottoes had an appro-
priate reference to their manner of doing the Reform
work. The brushmakers proposed to make " a
clean sweep of the Cave ;" the wheelwrights to " put
their shoulders to the wheel ;" the bookbinders to
"forward" and " finish" the work of Reform ; the
engineers, resolved " to keep the steam up ;" the
shoemakers held that there. was " nothing like lea-
ther" if the Constitution was to wear ; the cabinet-
makers thought they should be the choosers of the
Queen's Government, and the painters maintained
that the edifice of the State could not be com-
pleted without a touch from the decorators. One
trade exhibited the rather Conservative motto,
" Tak' tent in time," but the great majority
recommended, not caution, but action, and unity
was specially enforced by mottoes and symbols.
Mr. Bright's name was adopted by nearly every
trade, and there were occasional references to Russell,
Gladstone, Mill, and other friends of the popular
claims. Mr. Lowe came in for the usual farrago of
abuse, sarcarm, and small wit, and " Lowe's loaf"
was represented somewhat absurdly by a halfpenny
roll, while Mr. Bright's was handicapped by several
pounds extra weight. One banner bore the repre-
sentation of a furnace, and the inscription, " While
Bright burns the fire of Reform we will not fear
the Low." A great many pretty trade models, some
of them in mechanical action, were exhibited.;. and
the jewellers, glass-blowers, upholsterers, carvers,
cabinetmakers, and others, each made a very attrac-
tive display.
The length of the procession made it, however,
very tiresome. An hour's shivering in the cold was
a pretty severe tax on the patience of most of the
spectators, and there was rather an " ugly rush" to
the public-houses before. the procession got well out
of the Canongate.

O wing to the coldness of the weather the meeting
in the Queen's Park was not so well attended as it
would probably otherwise have been. Curiosity in
the affair was undoubtedly weakened by the chill in
the atmosphere. It is thought, however, that 40,000
mustered in the park behind Holyrood, a few
present system
hun-
dreds being within earshot of the platform, while
the thousands were well content to echo the cheers,
to survey the scene, and have a rest and a chat after
their hasty march. At each of the four platforms
hgerperboytetshtes paegoapilnes,atrteheamenable to laws

t andiw to the spirit of the constitution of this
country, and declares that no Reform Bill can be accepted
as a permanent settlement of the question unless it in-
cludes registered residential manhood suffrage, protected
by the ballot.

That this meeting awards its heartfelt thanks to Earl
Russell, the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, John Bright,
John Stuart Mill, Professor Fawcett, M.P., Mr. W. 0.
Forster, M.P., and all other true friends of Reform, for their
patriotism in defence of the rights of the people in the late
session of Parliament.

That a petition, founded on the above resolutions, be
drawn up and signed by the chairman of this meeting, and
by the Executive Committee,. and transmitted to Mr. Dun-
can M`Laren, M.P., for presentation ; and that Mr. James
Moncreiff, M.P., be requested to support the prayer of the
same in the next session of Parliament.
In the evening a meeting was held in the Corn-
exchange for the purpose of confirming the resolu-
tions passed at the day meeting. About 2,500 tickets
were distributed. The chair was occupied by Coun-
cillor Fyfe, who congratulated the meeting on
the magnificent demonstration of the day—a demon-
stration so orderly, and displaying so much inge-
nuity and taste, and embodying so much intellec-
tual and moral power, and unlike the demonstration
which took place before the Reform Act of 1832,

Reform movement, and though he classed himself
among moderate reformers, and had never become
reconciled to the ballot, and preferred a gradual to
a sudden and violent, extension of the franchise, he
should have been thankful if the Tories and exclusive
Whigs had seen fit to accept the very restricted mea-
aire of Reform proposed by the late Government.

Mr. M‘LAREN, M.P., moved the first resolution,
consisting • of the first clause of the first resolution
adopted at the day meeting, and expressed his great
gratification with the procession and Qieen's Park
meeting, which was in his opinion attended by even
more than were present at the great meeting of
• 18V, when the number was estimated at 50,000. •
lie sail, while he ,vas not prepared to go the length
of InatAood suffrage, for which tho country was not
yet Eu ien 1y • prepared by education, he would •
gladly support any measure of reform which enfran-
chised a large portion of the working classes, by
whatever party it might be introduced, and would
not consent to view reform as a question of party
interest, to be used for puttingone party in and an-
other party out. They were told by the newspapers
which professed to kr_ow the intentions of the pre-
sent Government that they had it in view to intro-
duce a bill that would give household suffrage in the.
large towns and an £8 suffrage in the small onus.
Household franchise in the large boroughs wouldb)
a very large measure of reform indeed, but an £8
franchise in the small towns would be a perfect
mockery. (Hear, hear.) It was in thesmall boroughs
that thefrauchise was particularly required to be in-
troduced, because in a large town like Edinburgh,
with an increasing population, where rents were
high, a sprinking of the working classes was on the
roll al.ready ; but in the small tyowns the working
• .-
r•was not to be toujon the_roll at all. He had
made a calculation of the number of voters in
Edinburgh at different qualacations, nd
that while the present constituency was 10,343, the
number of voters at £7 would be 13,613 ; at £5
17,143 ; at household suffrage, 23,734 ; and at
manhood suffrage, 38,282 ; deducting in all cases
one-eighth from the gross numbers of those whose
residence qualification was incomplete. He went on
to advert to the fact that, while the working classes
had helped to give the suffrage to the middle classes,
the favour was so barely requited now. It had been
like an Irish reciprocity, all on one side. The aristo-
cratic Whigs of Edinburgh who crowded Reform
platforms in 1832 had deserted the cause, and be-
come practically Tories ;. Tories in all but this, that
they desired that the Tories should come out of office
in order that they should go in. To the aristocratic
Whigs of Edinburgh he would apply the lines in
which Byron had expressed the comparison between
the ancient and the modern Greeks :
"So coldly sweet, so deadly fair,
"We start, fur soul is wanting there."
Mr. MILLER seconded the resolution, which was
carried unanimously ; and the other resolutions of
the forenoon were duly proposed, seconded, and
agreed to.
