Mr. BURT proposed "The llealths of the Judges."
Mr. HOOKER responded, expressing a hope that
on another occasion the ploughing would be more

displayed by the ploughmen.

The following are the conditions considered essential in
military non-repeating Rifles :
A. WEIGHT.

Not to exceed 91b. soz. without bayonet.

Sir W. BoviLL believed that the remarks of Mr.
Hooker would have a good effect on the plough-
men, some of whom acknowledged that they had
ploughed too deep, and he thought it might be
worth while for the farmers to call the attention of
their men to the subject, so that they might avoid
mistakes for the future. (Hear.) There was one
important matter to which he wished to call the at-
tention of all.present and of the public generally.
Every one admitted the necessity of a good system
of education. For some time past a great want had
been felt of schools for the sons of farmers in various
parts of the country. The want was so severely felt
that it had led to the establishment of middle-class
schools, and anything more admirable than these
institutions he could not conceive. (Cheers.) A
school of that kind had been established at Cranley.
It was opened last year with only 30 boarders, but
now contained 150, and was so full that there was
not a single vacancy. The fact showed that that
system of education was highly estimated. He believed
it would be widely extended, and took occasion to men-
tion it wherever he had the opportunity of meeting
the farmers. (Cheers.) He mentioned the insti-
tution because it was connected with the toast he was
about to propose—the members for the division of
the county in which they were assembled. He be-
lieved that his friends were greatly indebted for that
school to Mr. Cubitt, many of whose good deeds
were performed beyond the light of day—a man
who had done more for the cause of education and
religion by assisting various institutions than many
a one whose name had been prominently put for-
ward. (Cheers.) He regretted that Mr. Cubitt
was unable to attend, and also that Mr. Briscoe,
who was also a warm friend of the agricultural in-
terest, was not present.. He begged to propose
"The Healths of Mr. Cubitt and Mr. Briscoe."

B. LENGTH.
To be 51 inches, with short stock, measured from the
hollow of the butt-plate to muzzle.

Must not exceed 61b. 4oz. for sixty rounds as packed for

Recent events in the United States are awaken-
ing a new and increased interest in this distinguished
American citizen. Those who carefully watched
his career at the commencement of the great war
for the Union clearly saw what was before him as
a military man. His campaigns at the West and
South-west were plain indices of what might be
safely expected of him in the future. Early in the
year 1863 his extraordinary talent for combination
and strategy became apparent. At that time there
were those in Washington, gentlemen devoted to
the service of the country and the public press; 3sbcci-
were earnest and persistent in their appeals to the
Government that he should be called to the
front, and kept there, in supreme command.`
Nothing of the kind was plainer, to those who
understood GRANT, than that he was the master
spirit of the most successful movements in the Val-
ley of the Mississippi. The grasp of his control-
ling mind was felt from Cairo to Vicksburg, from
Atlanta to New Orleans. It was a fortunate day
for America when he was called to mass the entire
force of the country on Richmond. The cry "On
to Richmond !" bad a significance in it then it had
never had before ; and in the mouth of such a man
as GRANT it was indeed potential.
Our object in this article, however, is not to
review the life of this celebrated commander
in the field. Its record is before the
world, and nau3t pass down to posterity side
by side with that which contains some of the
greatest names of military history. We speak of
him now as a man, as an American citizen, as a
living representative of the Republican idea. In
' order to understand Ulysses Sydney Grant per-
fectly, we must view him in all these aspects. It
should be borne in mind that he has not spent all
his active life in the army. It Must also be re-
membered that he sprang directly from the ranks
of the working people of America. Born of indus-
trious parents, who by their own labour had made
their way in the world, he was taught in his youth
the honour and value of virtuous daily toil. Al-

H. THE ARM AS A WHOLE.
Must be as little liable to injury by long-continued firing,
rough usage, and exposure, as the naval rifles converted to
breech-loaders on the Snider system. To be as capable,
alko, of being used without accident by imperfectly trained
men, and of being manufactured in quantities and of uni-
form quality. •
i. THE AMMUNITION AS A WHOLE.
Must be as little liable to injurjkty rough usage, damp,
and exposure in all clitfiates, as the Boxer cartridge for
Snider's converted Enfield rifle —also as little liable to acci-
dental explosion as the same cartridge, and as capable of
being manufactured in large quantities, and of uniform
quality. K. CALIBRE.

Mr. COUSSMAKER then proposed "The Health of
the Chairman," which was received with three times
three.

Sir W. BOVILL, in acknowledging the compli-
ment, said he felt so much indebted to those among
whom he lived that he felt it his duty and pleasure
to promote the interests of the parish by every means
in his 'power. Whenever his services were required
in taking a lead which his positioH would enable
him to do, he trusted that his friends would never
hesitate to apply to him. (Cheers.)
Several other toasts were afterwards given and
responded to.

though placed at a comparatively early period
in the United States Military Academy, at West
Point, and sent forward, soon after his graduation
as a cadet, to the field of war in Mexico, and to
arduous camp duties on the Indian frontiers, his
record shows that he never for a moment lost his
concern as an American citizen in the affairs of his
native country. He studied Mexican interests, not
merely to learn how to subjugate them by the
sword, but how they might be developed by the
plough. He made himself familiar with American
frontier developments, not only that he might keep
off savage marauders, but that he might open them
up to civilisation, commerce, and the arts. Re-
turning from these scenes of peril and priva-
tion, he sought the peaceful shades of private
life, voluntarily 'resigned his position in the
army, and engaged in mercantile business. Day
by day he mingled with his ,fellow-citizens. He
studied their institutions, their trades, their laws,
their internal improvements. Educated well, a man
of reading, a traveller of observation, quick to per-
ceive and execute, surrounded by friends of means
and influence, he might, and doubtless would, have
risen to some post of civil distinction, had not his
imperilled country again called him to the field of
Dattle—to him, at last, the field of honour, that
exalted him to the highest military post ever occu-
pied by any citizen of the United States.
Put the leading fentures of the character of
GRANT go beyond this. llis mind is so constructed
that he is capable of being as great in the cabinet
as he is in the field. His elements of common sense,
firmness, knowledge of men, adaptation of mea-
sures, perseverance and moral courage, are strong
points of success and usefulness iu any career.
General Grant i 3 not a mere soldier. He is a good
practical business man. He is well versed in na-

slavery. That he understands treason the world
Already knows ; and, as a patriot, having put it
down in the field, as a Republican citizen he will
keep it down in the forum.
There is no man in the United States more en-
tirely worthy the confidence of the whole popu-
lation than Grant. Not because he is a hero ;
not, even, because he is a patriot ; but because,
being both these, he is a qualified citizen—a man of
moral worth, a careful observer of national interests,
above the foul influence of party spirit, of tempe-
rate habits, industrious, self-reliant, Republican ;
in short, a man every way a*well fitted to rule in
the state in time of peace as he is to command in

time of war.
Such is Ulysses Sydney Grant. - We speak that
which we know. We testify that which we have
seen. If he should ever visit Europe, as be has
been invited to do by both European and American
friends, we are confident that all we here say, and
.
more too, will be conclusively proved. Among
all
who appreciate his great merits on this side the
Atlantic, there is a general and increasing desire
that he should be the next. President a the United

interest in the prosperity of the country was
that their
.on iantely great. He repudiated the idea that the
proportt
interests of large landowners and employers of labour
could be other than the interests of the people. Their
interests were inseparable, and those were not the friends
of the people who went about endeavouring to sow dissen-
sion between class and class. The bishop next referred
to the question of Sunday recreation, and replied at length
to the Bishop of Ripon's speech on Sabbath observance at
York. He contended that the Jewish Sabbath was not
the Christian Sunday; that the Jewish Sabbath, whether
taken as the seventh day of the Creation or the seventh
day on which no manna fell in the wilderness, was a
Saturday, and that the Christian Sunday, as the day on
which Christ rose from the dead, and completed the great
scheme for man's salvation, was a day of happiness and
joy, and not of_ sombreness and gloom. But the Sunday
of the present Church of England was really only an out-
growth of Puritanism. Elizabeth and the two succeeding
monarchs by licence and by proclamation approved and
encouraged the recreations of the people, after due religious
exercises, on the Sunday. He regarded the day as one
which should be observed by abstinence from servile
labour and by due religious exercises, bat after that he
would be glad to see the people spending the rest of the
day in rational and healthful recreation. Upon
cational question the bishop spoke strongly
