GRAND QUOITING MATCH.

On Monday the grand return quoiting match, between
Mr. David Weir, Glasgow, and Mr. Alexander Smith,
Mauchline, for 1001., commenced on the quoiting green,
Tradeston, and terminated last night. 'Lho following is
the result of the five successive days' play:—
Weir. Smith.
61 42
61 4S
61 49
56 61

Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday ...

From the above it will be seen that Mr. Weir gained
three out of the five games, and the match by 35 shots,
thereby fully maintaining his welhearned reputation of
being one of the best, if not the first quoit player in
Scotland. The play throughout was beautiful, more
particularly on the part of Weir, who led his opponent
the three first days, and gained the match easily. On
Thursday Smith rallied, and his dexterous play on that
occasion, as well as at times yesterday, commanded
general approbation. The game, nevertheless, on
Wednesday night seemed to be decided; and Smith, the
" Ayrshire Champion," who, previous to the match, was
the favourite, and heavily backed at 2 to 1, had now
fallen so low in betting circles that 3 and 4 to 1 were
freely offered on Weir, with no takers. It is but fair,
however, to state that Smith seemed not to be "in con-
dition," while Weir, from an arduous and severe course
of training, was fully " up to the mark," and had
evidently made considerable advances, not only in the
manner of throwing his quoits, but in his general style
of playing, since the beginning of December, when he
was defeated in a similar match with Smith by 25 shots.
Notwithstanding the present defeat, Mr. Smith is still
a great favourite in Ayrshire - and parties, we under-
stand, in that locality, are ready to back him in another
match for any sum which may be named. His quoits
are nearly 131 b weight, while those of Weir, who is a
powerful man, are about 201 b, thereby giving the latter
advantages through mere strength, which the dexterity
or science of few opponents is able to cope with, and
almost none can overcome. The next match which par-
ties are attempting to negociate is not to come off on
Tradeston Green, as some have made the notable dis-
covery—which, however, they failed to do so long as
Smith was victorious—that David Weir, to whom the
green belongs, " knows his own ground." It will, how-
ever, we understand, be the interest of both individuals
to have the match in the neighbourhood of Glasgow.
The weather throughout was highly favourable, and
hundreds of spectators, notwithstanding the charge for
admission, were daily present, taking a lively interest in
and betting heavily upon the result. Large sums of
money-, we are informed, have changed hands.—Gta.f.

TRIAL OF THE MONSTER GUN.—On Friday, and
again on Saturday, the monster gun, recently manufactured at
Messrs. Fawcett, Preston, and Co.'s foundery, in this town, for the
American war-steamer Princeton, was repeatedly tesi.ed on the sands
about three miles beyond Waterloo. The gun was conveyed from
the foundery to the place selected for the trial about four o'clock on
Friday morning, when very few of the inhabitants were astir in the
streets. About half-past five it passed through Bootle, almost un-
observed, most of the good people of that locality being in the enjoy-
ment of their morning dreams at the time. It was drawn by nine
horses. On arriving at its temporary destination, it was firmly em-
bedded in the sand, and the muzzle, which was pointed out to sea,
was slightly elevated in a line above the surface of the water.
'rho first ball, weighing 2191b5., was then "driven home," the gun

being charged with 301bs. of powder, and the first shot:was fired
at ten o'clock, in the presence of about five hundred specta-
tors. The result was most satisfactory. The report was deafening,
and was distinctly heard nine miles off. At the distance of about

three miles, as nearly as could be judged, the ball was seen bounding
on the surface of the water, occasionally dipping and springing up,
again, until at length it became wholly lost to view. The second
was the trial shot. Two balls, each weighing 2191b5., were " driven
home," 451bs. of powder being the charge. This shot was equally
satisfactory. The report, of course, was terrific, but the gun with-
stood the shock, and thereby proved that it had been manufactured
on a principle and with a material which render " bursting" almost,
if not altogether, an impossibility. A great number of single shots,
with balls of 2191b5. each, were fired during the afternoon of Friday
and the whole of Saturday, with the like successful result. We un-
derstand the gun will be shortly shipped by a vessel for America,
there to be taken on board the war steamer for which it was maim-
factured.—Lkerpo.9l
PRIVILEGES OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.—It WI LS
expected that the plaintiff in the case of Howard r. Gossett, Ent.,
would yesterday have availed himself of the opportunity of signing
final judgment, which, according to the practice of the Court, he
would have been entitled to do, taxing his cents, and issuing execu-
tion for the amount of the damages and costs, but up to the closing of
the office no steps had been taken in the matter.
THE LATE FIRE IN DOVER-STREET.—The remains
of Ann Jones, the nurse of Lord Hastings, were interred on Sunday,
in St. John's-wood burial-ground, the service being performed
and by th
hie
Rev. Mr. Hastings. 'Yesterday the remains of Mr. Raggett
