      HOUSE OF LORLS-Thohsdmt , J * s . 29 . THE CORN LAWS . The Cuke of Kicnuoso rose fci present a number of petitions from different part . ^ of the country , Ten numeruusly signed by Iris numbers of tenantfarmers ami labourers . The petitioners prayed their ] o « Miips nut to make any alteration in the Corn Laws , and many of them also complained of the unconstitutional acts of the League . He ( the Duke of Richmond ) bad bad many opportunities of seeing a large number of tenants and landed gentlemen since the opening of the comprehensive scheme ( as it was called ) in another place —( a laugh ) -and be could only > ay that that scheme w « repudiated by every individual tbat he had spok <; n to , and they represented the opinions of the different parts of England . nm « v . nv ini ! i : S _ T »™ 5 n . v J « « i

      Tney viewed the measure with the strongest indignation , and they were all prepared not only to maintain protection to themselves * but also to thedotn estic industry of the country . They expressed thoir disapprobation of the conduct of certain gentlemen in the House of Commons , who were returned to 1 arliaincnt pledged to protection principles , but who now segued wavering and doubting . The petitioners thought that these men were bound to resign their feats , and see whether they would be re-elected . He hoped and tni-ted their lordships would give to the couutry an opportunity to judge whether this system was right or wrong , and thereby force the Ministry to cUsc-lve the Parliament , and have the question di cussed at the hustings . ( Hear , hear . )

      Lord KiN . N-AiBD defended the League , llethonght it a . strange doctrine thattbe noble duke propounded , an-1 one which savoured of Chartist doctrines , namely , tlm tbe government should appeal to the country . 3 t would almeat amount to Annual Parliaments if the government were to be compelled to appeal to ; ne country upon the introduction of every fresh measure . Earl Gret rose to address the house in support of the Ministerial measures , and was

      Left speaking . DOUSE OF COMMOXS-Thcesdat , Jak . 29 . Several petitions were presented iu favour of Lord Ashley ' s Ten Hours' BilL - . J- T . ]) c . \ combe presented a petition from tho inhabitants of the West Riding of Yorkshire , praying tee house to pass into a law the Ten Hours' Bill . l » ie hon . member also presented a petition from the Muaiitants of Reading against any increase in the -farhamentary grant for the services of the army and nary , and against the embodiment of the militia .

      _ . _ THE MILITIA . btr James Griham said that , as his right hon . friend had given notice of his intention to move that the house at its rising do adjourn till Monday , in his absence ho would move , therefore , that the house at its rising do adjourn till Monday next . On the question being put from the Chair , Mr . Tjwmas Dcscombe rose to ask a question respecting the embodinwat of the militia . The country li'd been led to understand that an embodiment of the militia would take place on an early day , and great excitement and alarm in consequence prevailed

      J to the manner in which , and time when , this raises of the force would take place . Clubs were form-Ing to find substitutes for those whn might be drawn , aril , in many instances , associations of persons were forming to protect parties in offering passive resii tanee to the service . What he wanted to know wa » , whether an early embodiment of the militia was to take {> Lice , and whether it was to be made under the present law , or that a new one was to be introduced ? if a bill was to be introduced , he hoped it would be done on an early day , and not when the session was advanced , so that the whole question might be fully

      considered . Sir J . Graham said that it was the intention of the right hon . gentleman the Secretary at War , on the part of tae government , to introduce ft bill for the emtodimeut of the militia on an early day , in which there would be considerable amendments " on the present law . Mr . Bright conceived that the right hon . baronet the Secretary tor the Home Department had not fully replied to the question of the hon . member for Finsbury . He believed that the object of that question had been tojearn whether it was intended to call out the militia this year or not . It might be necessaiyto have a permanent law for the embodiment of the militia , but that was of small interest to the public at large , and he , therefore , begged to inquire whether the militia really was to be called cut this vear ?

      Sir J . Graham said that he thought he had already answered the question . It was the privilege of her Majesty to cali out the militia if the exigencies of the public service should make it necessary , under the suggestion of her responsible Ministers . " It was intended to bring in a bill , and under the power of that bill , if war should arise , her Majesty would have the power of calling out the militia after a fortnight ' s notice . But when the bill should be introduced his right hon . friend the Secretary at War ( Mr . Sidney Herbert ) would explain all its provisions fully to the Louse .

      "MARTYRDOM" OF CHARLES I . —DENUNGIATION OF " THE TYRANT . " "Mr . Ross was opposed to the adjournment of the house for the reason stated . He considered a reformed House of Commons ought not to keep such a holiday : is the one named , and for which the house was asked to adjourn . He thought that it was a reproach to tiiose honourable men who had shed their blood in order to retain the chartered liberties of the country . They had sacrificed their lives in the defence of those liberties , and he thought that it wou'd be fwlish with that fact before them to keep

      tnat absurd fast . ( Cheers , and laughter . ) That was his opinion , and lie felt bound to de-. lare it ( Cheers . ) [ Several hon . members exclaimed at the same moment , " No such thin « r . "J At 1-ast that ¦ was his i : npr < -ssion , and he found " it was published in the papers of the house , and entered in the notice look , that to-morrow wa « to be observed as a fast in tlie commemoration of the martyrdom of King Charles . S- )< v there could be no doubt that such then was the ca-= e , and it be went out with only one or two of his friends , he would divide the house on the subject .

      Sir Robert Peel said that he had endeavoured to put the matter in the most substantive form , and to express the reasons of her Majesty ' s government . Kow he had exactly stated that the reason of the adj-mrnmeut of the house was really because there was not public business before them for that day , and because it would conduce very much to the public convenience . He conceived that this would constitute a sufucient reason . Mr . Rhss expressed himself satisfied with the reason ? of the rinht non . Baron ? t .

      Mr . Williams wished particularly to understand whether the house was to ba adjourned because tomorrow wa- » the anniversary of an nbsur-l fast , or because tiscrc was no business before the house ? If tiie h « u < c was to atymrn on tint account , he knew of n " thing that would degrade the present generation so much as that it should bcs&id of them that they adjourned the public business because of the anniversary of the martyrdom of that tyrant who was led to tlw scaffoM in con < equ < : nce of superseding the authority of tin House of Commons . ( Hear , and laughter . ) If that tyraut had not violated the institut : ons < if the country , by attempting to impose public taxes without having obtained the sanction of Parliament , liis d < £ ith by violence would never have taken place . ( Laughter . ) The memory of the man who resisted the tyrant , and caiued his overthrow , ought tob ; cherished , rather than the fate of the tyrant borne in wind . ( Laughter . )

      THE TEX HOURS' BILL . Lord Ashley iu <; ved for leave to bring in a bill to redn -e the hours of working of young persons iu factories to ten hours in the day . Two yea-3 had ekpsedsinceue brought the subject before the House ; but events had since taken place that illustrated the truth of th « principles he liaJ then propounded : and the question wa « now narrowed to this—Would his proposition 1 « carried into effect without injury ta trade « r detriment t « the wages of the labourer , lie would detail to them a scrivs of experiments counccttd with this subject . Mr . Gardiner , a gentleman who had very extensive mills in Manclivst-r and 2 ' restoii , was good enough to send his foreman and Eontu Lou'Jontogive him ( Lurtl Ashley ) an account ofsumecxwrimeiiU which he had tried iu his manufactory . He ( the noble L « r . () put to them several questions , the Answers to which ? lwy had siuce committed to wilting . [ Left speaking . ]

      SUSPECTED MURDBlt AT MANCHESTER . On tht evening of Wednesday the 10 th of December , about nine o ' clock , the body of a young woman was found in the Rochdale canal , near the Ten Acies Bridge , Newton , having apparently been in tlie water only a short time , hue life was quite extinct . The body was " removed to the Three Crowns public-house , in Newton , and the following day it was identified as that of a woman named Ann Ellison , the daughter of a person residing in Mariastreet , Manchester . No clue could then be obtained as to how the deceased came to her death ; and , consequently , at the inquest held before Mr . Itutter , on the Friday SUSPEflTRTi MTTRDER AT MANCHESTER .

      ensuing , an open verdict of "Found drowned" was returned . Circumstances , tendiug to throw some light on the subject , having since been discovered to the relations of the deceased , further inquiries were made of various individuals about the neighbourhood of the spot where the body was found , and information was communicated to the police , which led to a further investigation of the matter . The result was the apprehension , on Monday last , of a man named Nathaniel Currie , a stretcher , in Mr . Murray ' s mill , Ancoats , 'and under whom deceased was employed as a piecer . He was brought up for examination at the New Bailey , on Tuesday , before James lleywood , Esq ., when the following evidence was adduced : —

      Mr , Richard Beswick , chief superintendent of the Manchester police , stated that the prisoner was apprehended on suspicion of having caused the death of Ann Ellison . The deceased , who was twenty-ono years of age , resided in Mavia . street , Manchester , and worked in Mr . Murray ' s mill : The prisoner was a stretcher , and the deceased had been engaged under him as a " big piecer . " She was stated to be an exceedingly well-conducted girl , and a teacher in the Sunday school . On the 10 th of December , after leaving work , the deceased came to her father ' s house , and after remaining there a short time , she told her father she wished to go out to meet a friend , named Jane Pilling . Her father consented ; she went out , and about half-past nine , her mother , who had been at a friend ' s house in the interval , returned , and

      was surprised to find her daughter absent . At ten o ' clock the father went to bed , and between twelve and on « he was awakened by Mrs . Ellison , who stated that Ann had not returned , and she was very much alarmed . Ellison got up , and went out to look for his daughter , but she could nowhere be found . He was awave that she worked under the prisoner at the mill , and he went there in the morning , for the purpose of inquiring whether he knew anything of her . He stopped the prisoner as he was about to cntei the mill , told him that bis daughter had not been home on the previous evening , and asked him if he knew anything about her . The prisoner said , "No ; I went to the Free Trade Hall last night , but it was so thronged that I could not get in , and after that I came home and went te bed . " Ellison requested

      him , if his daughter came to her work , to send word to her parents , which he promised to do . The father then went to the police office , and gave information that his daughter was missing . Iu the afternoon he was told that a body had been found at Ten Acres Bridge , Newton ; and on proceeding to the spot , he identified it as that of his daughter . He remained fur some time there , and on his return home he found the prisoner in his house , when he became very violent , and said "You ' ve been the death of my daughter ; get out of my house ! ' The prisoner said , " Oh , if you wish me to leave I will do so , " and walked away . He ( Mr . Beswick ) would be able to show , that about twenty minutes past eight o ' clock or tho night in question , two young women , named Mary Russell and Rhoia Farrington , who reside in Cheetham Fold , near

      Newton , passed through three fields called the Ten Acres Fields , about a mile from the spot where the deceased was found . They were going to have some bonnets made up , and when they got into the second field tliey sawu man and woman standing together . The bonnet the female had on struck their attention very much , and they » solved to have theirs made up in a similar wanner . The nigbt was moonlight , and both the girls said they would be able to identify either of the parties again . Ou Monday afternoon , shortly after the prisoner had been apprehended , he was placed amongst five other mtn , some of them dressed like himself , and the two women pointed to Currie as the person whom they had seen with the female . About nine o ' clock these young women were returning home ; and when they

      were passing over the Ten Acres Bridge they were told that the body of a female had been found in the canal ; but they were very much frightened , and ran home . They could , however , identify the bonnet found on the female in the canal , as being that which had attracted their notice iu the fields . A man named James Tetlow , and a boy named John Hamer , were passing this bridge about nine o ' clock , when they observed something floating on the water ; which , on closer examination proved to be the body of the young woman . Tetlow got a stick , with which he drew the body to the eide , and sent the boy to give information at the police station . At this time three other men came up , two of whom went , at

      they said , to send a paliceman , and the third put his foot on deceased ' s dress ; and when Tetlow said it would be as well to take the body out of the water , this man ( who was proved to be the prisoner ) said it should not be taken out till the arrival of the police . When a coHstable was seen coming towards the spot , he went away in an opposite direction , and was not seen afterwards . The inquest was held ou the body on the Friday following , and in the absence of any proof as to how the deceased came to her death , a verdict of "Found drovmed" wai returned . A female who laid out the body would state that there were various marks upon it ; there were bruises upsn the lips and both sides of the mouth , and the thighs were considerably scratched .

      Thomas Ellison , the father , was then examined . He gave in evidence the facts which Mr . Beswick stated , and also said the prisoner appeared very much excited and confused when he spoke to him about the deceased on the Thursday morning . He produced the bonnet which the deceased wore , which was identified by the next witness , Mary Russell , who stated tbat she worked at Briscoe ' s Mill , in Newton , and that on the evening of the 10 th December she went with a person named Rhoda Farrington to the Ten Acres Fields , where they passed close by a man and woman who were standing together . The

      prisoner was the man , and witness looked very earnestly at them , being in such a lonely spot . The bonnet produced was the one which the female wore . Witness had since seen the place where the deceased was taken out of the water , which wag one field and a little more from the place she had seen them together . Rhoda Farrington confirmed the testimony of this witness , and stated likewise that the prisoner had on at the time she saw him in the field a black and white scarf , which was produced by Inspector Green . The woman had on a plaid shawl , which Ellison said his daughter had on when she left the house .

      James Tetlow was then called , and described th » finding of the body , shortly after nine o ' clock , aud the eonduct of the prisoner in not allowing it to be taken out of the water till the arrival of the police . John'Ogden and James Crossley severally stated that they saw the body taken out of the canal , and also that the prisoner had said it should not bo taken out till the arrival of the police . The latter witness was called on to serve as a juryman , the number not being complete , but he said there were no witnesses examined after he was called in . He told the coroner and the jury that the prisoner was"favoured"like ( resembled ) the man who prevented the body from being taken out of the canal , but he could not swear t ) him . He believed him to be tlie man .

      Elizabeth Duffield , the woman who laid out the body , described the marks which she had seen upon it . The deceased's mouth was very much swollen , and appeared to have been struck . Each side of the mouth was black aud bruised * There were the marks of three dirty fingers aud a thumb on her neck , and four scratches on the inside of the right thigh . Eliza CoateG stated that on the morning after the day in question the prisoner called her and asked her te clean his shoes . They were very dirty , and covered nearly all over the top with clay , which she scraped off with a knife . The prisoner said to her in the morning , " I can hardly feel ray wheel handles , for I tremble so bad . " Inspector Green stated that he had searched the prisoner ' s house , and found the scarf produced , which was identified by the witness Farrington .

      Mr . Beswick stated that he apprehended the prisoner the previous day , and , on being told the charge against him , he reiterated the statement about being at the Free Trade Hall in the evening . ' , Mr . Aspiuwiill called a woman , named Mary Ann Ceoper , who said she lived next , door to th « prisoner , and that she had heard him at home on the evening ef the 10 th of December , getting in coals . —On being crosi-ex . ainined by Mr . Beswick , she stated that it was nearl y ten o ' clock before she heard him in the house , and it was stated that the spot where the occurrence took place wa « only distant a mile and a quarter from where he resided

      The prisoner having expressed some desire to B peak in Ills own defence , the Court gave him tbe usual caution after which hemade alengthy statement , the substance of which was , that on his return from Ellison ' s house , after Ellison had charged Mm with being " the villain who caused his daughter ' s death , " he stated this to his wife . Next morning she went to Mr . Ellison , and asked his reason for saying so . ' He said he had a hoat of evidence which he would bring forward at the inquest . While he turned his back his wife said to the prisoner ' s wife , " Can you keep a secret . " and on promising to do so , Mrs . Ellison said , " Auu was three months gone in the family way . "

      Mr . Rutter said , that from the external appearance of the body , at the time of the inquest , he supposed she was enciente . On the application of Mr . Beswick , the inquiry was then adjourned to next Tuesday .

Stevenson , the able engineer to the board , and include an ample saloon , with sleeping accommodation aft for sixteen gentlemen , besides deck , cabin , bath-room , fore-cabins , < 5 sc , and a hold forward capable of stowing 100 tons of stores . Her engines , of 150 horse power , have been constructed by Messrs . Fenn and Son , of Greenwich , and are upon tbe oscillating principle , with tubular boilers . The estimated weight of her machinery is eighty tonn , and she will carry sixty tons of coals . Her hull is divided , by iron bulkheads , into four water-tight divisions . She will btt sehoonat' -riggeu , wilh standing rigging of wire rope , and as her profile is peculiarl y graceful , itis expected that uho will cut a dashing figure in the northern &ca 6 , especially when steaming at her stipulated speed of fourteen miles an hour .

      The following are the dimensions of the Pharos , which , by the way , has a figure-head of a lighthouse , raking forward in a somewhat ominous manner , like the Tower of FUa ; but we trust this may not endanger the originals , either oa the Ball-rock or the Skerry-Yore , Feet .

      Thb TBttRiBM War Steamer . —The Terrible war steamer is in commission , and now fitting for sea at Woolwich ; she has twenty guns mounted , also a brass field-piece and carriage , and a waggon for powder to accompany it . , On her upper deck , each side tho bow , are two long fifty-six pounders , Monk ' n eleven feet guns , to fire fore and aft in a line with the keel ; these are mounted on a slide , and will cross fire with . each , other , and also sweep round to the sides ; two more of the name guns , right aft in the stern , will also cross and sweep to the broadside on their pivot , bo as to fire forward , acting as chase gitns if required , She ha& two sixty-eight pounders on each broadside , to carry shells or solid shot , which can be trained fore or abaft , according to

      circumstances . On the deck below , which is also flush fore and aft , are eight guns , viz ., two long fiGpouudcrs , Monk's gun ? , 11 feet long , in the bow ports , to fire in a line with the keel , and also several degrees of training on the broadsides , and two of the same guns in the Btern , right aft , which can give such depression as to prevent even a small boat from coming under her stem ; with four guns , 68-pounders , on her broadsides , for shells or solid shot . There are four smaller guns oa the upper deck , to be traversed to any place or carried on shore in her paddle-box boats , if required for use in landing troops , < fcc , She lias four separate boilers , independent of each other , which may be connected when required ; four funnels , one to each boiler ; the two

      after onea strike down , so as to allow a square mainsail to , be set when sailing , and still using the two foremost boilers , thus working half her power at the same time , saving a considerable consumption of coals . This is an excellent contrivance ,. as there are four small funnels , instead of one large one , which is a great advantage , as the sliip will not be wholly disabled by losing one , two , or even three funnels , like the one-tunnel ship would be on her ' s being carried away ; her one funnel lost , the hag lost all . The Terrible has two magazines and two Bhell-rooms , one of each before the engineroom , > nd one abaft for the safety of the vessel , to prevent any powder passing the engine-room ; when firing the guns . She can store four hundred tons

      of coals below the lower deck , and is prepared on the midship part of the deck to take 200 or 300 tons more , packed in bags , as a defence from shot to the engines and boilers , filling up a space of eighteen feet . In addition to her thick , substantial , solid sides , she has good capacity , and if required for any particular service , can carry more coal in sacks . With regard to the conveyance of troops , she can berth 1 , 000 men under cover onher second gun-deck , independent of her shi p ' s company , their berth being below forward , axd the officer ' s cabin * , gun-room , < k ., abaft ; so that etch guft-deck is entirely clear and always ready fur action , without removing a bulkhead , and the deck being perfectly free from the captain ' s cabin abaft .

      to the bow ot tne vessel . She is contracted in the strongest and most substantial manner , on Mr . Lang s improved method of uniting the frame timbers , making her perfectly water-tight , so that she would swim even if her external keel and plank were offher bottom . This method is also adopted in the Royal Albert , 120 guns , now in her frame , and may be seen on the slip at Woolwich dockyard . The « ngine-room of the Terrible is most splendid ; on deck , the whele length of the engine-room , are gratings open and well ventilated by hatchways , giving light and air to the engineers , stokers , Ac . Itis an admirable plan , Buchas no steamer as yet has the advantage of ; and each boiler has a separate hatchway , and may be readily taken out for repair , without interfering with the other boilers . This method of Mr . Lang ' s invention prevents the necessity of ripping up the deck , which is the case with other

      steamers when the boilers are required to be taken out from those vessels , and there too , the deck covering the boilers , the engineers and stokers have the light admitted by the hatchway over the engines only . The Temble ' s engines aro most majestic ; they are 800-horse power , the production of Maudslay , Sons , and Field , and show to advantage in this large war steamer . Her decks have hatchways in various parts , scuttles , skylights , < fec , for ventilating th « ship even to the lower parts of her hull ; and there are many other conveniences too numerous to mention , contributing to tlie efficiency of the ship and the comforts of the officers and crew , so that she may be , said to be the largest and most perfect war steamer ever built . The Terrible is commanded by Captain Kamsay , late of the Dee steam-vesael , and she is to have a complement of 240 officers , men and boys . — Nautical Standard .

      Sdpposbd Murder . — Gloucester , Tuesday . — Considerable excitement has been occasioned in this city , during the last few days , in consequence of the body of an unfortunate girl having been found in the Gloucester and Berkeley Canal , on Thursday morning last , under circumstances which induced the suspicion that she had been murdered by some foreigners belonging to a vessel in the port , in whose company she was last Been . An inquest was held ou the bod y , on Saturday , before J . Cooke , Esq ., and continued , by adjournment , to this day . Mr . Superintendent Griffin , of the county police , applied to Mr . Cooke for a warrant for the apprehension of the men suspected , but he refused to grant one . Mr . Griffin , therefore , proceeded , with his men and a girl named Mary Ann

      Bruit , to Castle-end , about seven miles from the city , the vessel having sailed . He went on board , and tlie girl said she would not swear to the men , as she was afraid . Mr . Griffin told her that he would protect her , and she thea pointed out two of the crew , cousins , named Baptist * Ribecco and Giovanni Itibccco , the former of whom is more directly implicated . Giobata Coloto and Dominego Caneao having stated that they were in company with the others , were also taken into custody , who , with their captain and two interpreters , appeared before the jury to-day . Mary Anu Brint'dcposed thatsho and the unfortunate girl had been in'the habit of associating with tho prisoners for some time , and on Wednesday evening the docoased acGorapaniad one of the crew of a Russian vessel , which has since sailed , and Baptiste llibecco ,

      towards their vessel . Brint refused to go only part of the wny , and told deceased to come back ai there were two men ou board ; but the wretched girl replied , " No ; I'll go , hit or miss . I don't care which way it is . " Nothing more was leen or heard of her until the body was found in the canal . A seaman nannd Bick stated that he was in his berth about a quarter before seven on Thursday morning , when he heard * female voice scream " Murder" three timei . The scream appeared t « come from the side of the Italian ship , and could not have emanated from the banks of the canal . He got up , bHt could see nothing . He heard no plunge in the water , but it was a very dark and tempestuous morning . The jury , after a lengthened consideration , decided upon dismissing Coloto and Canese , but remanded the two llibeccos for the production of further evidence .

      Murderous Imventiok . —During thelastfewmontbs a scries ot experiments have been made with a new invention , originated by Mr . M'Cartey , a gentleman connected with the navy-yard at Brooklyn . These experiments were ordored by the government and witnessed by distinguished persons , and were considered by them to be most novel , most original , and most startling , in a naval and military point of view Commodore Stewart , it will be remembered , spoke ot a project by which it would be possible to defend the whole harbour of New York against the combined fleets of all the powers of the world . This may appear to be gasconade , but from information which has been communicated to us , we are assured that Commoder Stewart ' s assertion is perfectly com-H

      and literal . The scientific gentleman alluded to , Mr . M Cartey , who is now connected with the navyyard , has invented a new species of artillery , which will dischargo thirty balls in a minute , or one every two seconds , for hours together , in succession , and this by mechanical power alone , without gunpowder chymical substance , or any other preparation . It is effected by merely putting the balls into a hopper and letting the ordnance throw them out with immense momentum at the rate of one every two seconds 0 n one occasion Mr . M'Cartey exhibited the operation of this invention before a number of naval officers who were all astonished by the force and power exhibited as well as by the great simplicity of the machine . From 12 to 20 pieces of solid timber were united

      together , forming one compact body . Acainst this pieoeof wooden breastwork Mr . M'Cartey opened the battery of his piece of ordnance , and ia ba than ten minutes the whole solid breastwork was utterly demolished and shivered to splinter , by the powerful and rapid succession of discharges upon it . The siniplicity of this invention is one of its most ' singular fea tures in which respect it much resembles the anecdote told of Columbus and the egg . " Can you make this egg stand on one end ? " said Columbus to the Spanish gnndeu . They tried and failed . Columbus instantly took the egg , indented one end , and ttion easily made it stand erect on the tabl « Tluw regarded his teat as a farco , from its simplicity whereupon he observed , " You think it now so easy " after it is done . " It is exactly so with this wonderful invention . The secret of it is known and recorded

      in history from the time when David went forth with shiig and stone to combat the proud Goliah . Ihe principle of this new invention is simply a modification of the principle ef the sling , applied to machinery , in connexion with a tube or gun , throwin » out a discharge of balls . The machine is so constructed that on putting in at one end the balls to-be discharged , a rotary motion is produced by means of a crack , * nd , by a tew rapid revolutions , each ball receives a force and momentum equal to that communicated by any quantity of gunpowder . When this lias been done a slide starts and allows each ball to escape in succession from the chamber into a tube when they are thrown to almostany distance and with unerring aim . This ingenious invention , for which a patent has been taken out at Washington , and which ought to be purchased , is worth 500 , 000 dollars-nav even millions , to the American government , in the wuh h iw

      uranw < awns , cy means of such machines placed in the forts at the narrows capable of discharging any number of balls ot any calibre , the whole combined fleets of Europe could be torn in pieces andannihJated before they could reach the battery at New York . When we reflect upon he astonishing revolution in the art of war which such a species of ordnance is calculated to produce , and the means of defence which it iscapableof supp yin * it is to be expected that the President and Congress will take up this matter , artd have an armament prepared on this principle , which by its cheapness its efficiency , and power as x means of defence is beyond all that has ever been conceived or seen in the world SS a evolution at once .-JV «< , York FBARruL and Fatal AccinsNr on iiie South Eastern Railway . ~ An accident occurroa Z Yh South Eastern Railway aSlITSA ^ fcrStpi ' g 0 < ^ telin whU S s uo * erateigutp .
