(RICTILICS TELLGILUIS.) THE DISCUSSION UPON THE FRANCO ITALIAN CONVENTION. TURIN, Nov. 3, EVI74ING. In the Chamber of Deputies the Frauco-Italian Convention came on for discussion to-day. Signor Boggio thought the diplomatic documents oom•uuuicated to the Chamber were insufficient. He demanded that the notes exchanged between Italy and other Posers since the first despatch of Chevalier Visconti should likewise be brought before the house. General della Marmora in reply said that the government had already consi dered that question, and did not think it neces sary to communicate other documents than those already submitted. Signor Petrucelli asked the government whether the statements made iu the note of Chevalier Nigro, really represented the true state of affairs, In reply, Signor Lanza stated that it was not becoming to throw doubt upon a solemn diplomatic act from simple assertions of newspapers. The minister continued : " The note of Chevalier Nigra is true, and substantiated in every particular. It is also recognised as such by the two contracting parties." Signor Monca brought up the report of the com mittee upon the transfer of the capital to Florence. Signor Ferrari proposed that the Chamber should first discuss whether for the approval of the Con vention it was necess►ry to bring iu the bill. After a short discussion, the debate upon this previous question was adjourned, and Monday next fixed for the discussion of the bill fur the transfer of the capital. The report of the committee upon that bill, in conclusion, recommended its adoption conformably to the draft submitted to the government. The Opinion of to-day announces that the Roman government and the French authorities have com plied with the request of the Italian government for the extradition of the brigand Carnevale.

NOVEMBER 4, 1864. AMERICA. The follow ing official despatches in regard to the fighting between Generals Sheridan and Long street are published in the New York pspers : Cedar Oroeir, Oot. 19, Lieutenant-General Grant, City Point. I have the honour to report that my army at Cedar Creek 1M attacked this morning before daylight, and my left was tuned and driven in confusion ; in fact. most of the line was drives in confusion, with a loss of ?Apiece. of artillery. I hestenedfrom Winchester, where I was on my way from Washington, and found the army between Middletown and Newtown, keying bees driven back four miles. 1 here took affairs in hand, and quickly nailed the corps, and formed a compact line of battle, just is time to reputes an attack of the enemy, which wee handsomely done at about 11 ►m At 3 P.m., after some chemise of the cavalry from the left to the right flank, I attacked the enemy with great vigour, driving and routing him, and capturing, according to the last report, 43 pieces of artillery, and very many prisoners. I do not yet know the number of casualties or lames of the enemy. Waggon.trains, asibulaaose, and caisisons in large numbers are in our possession. They also burned some of our trains. Geoeral Ramseur is • prisoner in oar heady, severely and perhaps mortally wounded. I have to regret the less of General Bidwell, killed, and Generale Wright, Grover, and Walcott. wounded. Wright Is slightly wounded. Affain at times looked badly, but by the gallantry of our brave officers and men disaster ham bees converted into a splendid victory. Darkness again intervened to shut off greeter remits. I now occupy Strasburg. As soon as ob.- Wood, I will send you further particulars. (Signed.) P. H. Salainati, Major-Gen. Secretary Stanton telegraphs as follows : War Department, Washington. Oct. 20. To Major-General Dix.—Anotber great battle was tought yesterday at Cedar Creek, threatening at first a great die. eater, but finally resulting in a victory for the Union forces under Sheridan, more splendid than any heretofore. The battle was fought on the same day, the 19th of the moo', that witnessed Sheridan's victory in September. What flit numbers were that were opposed to Sheridan are not yet reported to the department, but the boldness, vigour, and success of the attack, strongly indicate that a heavy rein forcement bad been sent from Richmond, with the expecta tion of fulfilling Longstreet'm bout, to smash up Sheridan. Longstreet was keown to be in the valley, and had aesunod command of the army, and confident hopes of an owes whelming disaster to the Union army were boastfully ex pressed for several days back by Confederate adherents to Washington and Baltimore, E. M. STANTON. Secretary of War. Wu Department, Washington, Oct. 21. The following telegram received this morning contains further particulars of the battle at Cedar Creek : " Cedar Creek, Virginia, Oct. 20. "Lieut.-General Grant—We have again been favoured by a great victory, won from disaster by the gall►ntry of our officers and men. The attack on the enemy was made about 3 p.m. by a left half wheel of the whole line, with a division of cavalry, turning each d .ok of the enemy. The whole line advanced. The enemy after a stubborn resist ance broke and fled, and were pushed with vigour. The artillery uptored will probably be over 50 pieces. Thin of course includes what were captured from our troops in early morning. At least 1.600 prisoners have been brought in, besides waggons and ambulances in large numbers. This morning the cavalry made a dub at Fieher's Hill and carried it, the enemy having fled during the night, leaving only asmall rear gu►rd. I have to regret the lose of many valuable officers killed and wounded, among them Colonel Joseph Thorburn, commanding a diet Mon of Crook's command, killed ; Colonel Howard Kitchen, commanding a brigade, wounded ; Colonel R. M'Kenzie, commanding a brigade, wounded severely, but would sot leave the field. I cannot yet give elect details. Many of our men who were captured in the morning made their I escape and are coming in. General Ramseur, commanding a division in Early's army, died this morning. (Signed) " P. H. SHERIDAN.. General Grant's appreciation of the victory at Cedar Creek is expres-ed in the following despatch : "City Point, Oct. 20, 8 a.m. "To Hon. R. M. Stanton, Secretary of War.—l had • salute of 100 guns from eattki of the armies here fired in honour of Sheridan's victory. Tunica what bade fair to be a disuter into a glorious victory stamps Sheridan what I have always thought him to be, one of the ablest of generals. (Signed) " U. S. Gum" The medical director reports that 770 slightly wounded have reached Wioehester from the fields. All the wounded that are able to bear transportation will be forwarded immediately to Ifartin.burg. The telegraph line is now working to Atlanta, but no late reports have been roosi•d by the department. (Signed) E. M. STANTON. Secretary of War. CHEAP LODGING-HOUSES. Poverty no longer acquaints a wan with strange bed-fellows. The Lodging-house Act has taken poverty under its protection since 1851, and at the present time any one paying threepence or four pence a night for his bed has that bed to himself, and a specified number of cubic feet of space about and around him, guaranteed by law. The cheap hotels, where married couples have an apartment to themselves for sixpence a night, and where single men or women have separate beds in large cham bers for a sum ranging from twopence-halfpenny fourpeuce a night, accommodate at the present time some thirty thousand of our Loudon popula tion. They are scattered through most districts in the metropolis, but abound in Spitalfields and Whitechapel, where there is considerable competi tion among their proprietors or lessee', and where the tramp, the thief, the beggar, the vagrant work man, and the cadger finds his custom as welcome and as eagerly sought after as that of an English tourist is at a foreign landing-place, or a money spending commercial traveller in a country town. The regulsr inspections and constant supervision of the polies have enforced uniform cleanliness through out these establishments, and whatever may be the character of their frequenters, their arrangements present nothing which suggests either squalor or discomfort. A barrack-like regularity, and an utter absence of joyousness or mirth seem their prevailing characteristics, and dismal quietness and dull decorum are apparently enforced. But most of the people we saw were too broken down and mise rable to be anything but quiet, and it seems certain that men and women who frequent these lodging houses do so only because of the utter impossibility of maintaining a garret or kennel of their own. In a lofty a Litewashed kitchen, in Garden-court, George-yard, Whitechapel, we are introduced to the keeper of one of these houses. A large coke tire is burning cheerfully in the grate, before which • dozen men, women, and children are cowering, to gain some Attie warmth prior to ascending the stairs and retiring for the night. Clothes-lines run across the room, from which hang women's ragged uuderlinen and wen's torn shirts. These have been washed by their owners in the room provided below, and will be put on again in the morning, after those owners have finished their night's rest. At the table run ning along the wall are seated two figures. Both are ragged and wretched looking, but whereas one is eating voraciously some unsavoury morsel he has just cooked at the fire, the other is rapidly covering a sheet of note paper with a neat and clear hand writing. " A begging letter most likely, sir," whis pers our guide, but the writer is young, and sad, and woe-begone, and as his dress axd bearing are that of a man who has fallen suddenly to decay we prefer to think of his letter as one of penitence and promised amendment, awl that it will result in his delivery from his present surroundings. The people in the room are all strangely quiet and sad. Conversation there seems to be none, and this is not due merely to the presence of strangers, for ou our exit and re-entrance to the room we disturb no hum, and excite no curiosity. The whispers and tittering which so often greet an unexpected visitor to a crowded room are conspicuous for their absence here; and every faculty seeuis absorbed in extract ing as much animal warmth as possible out of the tire. Ragged and greasy clothes, hungry faces, and sharp eyes are common enough, but while some have the beaten-down, cowed look of people at (Ada with fortune, others have the half - startled, half - defiant, bearing of those whose relations with society are almost open war. Up a narrow little staircase, and we are in a passage on the first floor, ou each side of which a number of doors lead into the sleeping cells for married couples. It is past eleven p.m., and only two of those are unoccupied. A truckle bed with sheets and a coarse blanket coverlid comprises the whole of the furniture, and the walls of each cell, which are of unstained deal, are only some eight feet high, and are unroofed. The fits ing up of the one large room wherein these cells are placed is much after the fashion of our parochial baths and washhouses, or those chambers iu Deau-street, Soho, described in " The Seven Sons of 111ationo'n." the absence of either chair or table, and the absolute bareness of wooden cabins which possess a bed and literally nothing else, is chilling enough, and contrasts un favourably with the little home comforts of model prisons and kindred institutions. Retracing our steps, and hearing the heavy breathing of the sleep ers to our right and left as we pass their closed doors, we ascend some more stairs, and are in a long low chamber containing between twenty and thirty beds. This is the single men's room, and there is no attempt at enclosure or privacy. The conches are stationed at regular intervals, and are nearly all occupied. Here and there a bead is wearily lifted up as we pass up the passage iu the centre and gain the end of the room, but iu the majority of cases the heavy sleep is unbroken, and our intrusion is not marked. There is nothing in the faces seen to denote their owners' calling, but iu the uneasy toesiugsaud distorted figures of some of the party we read of the day's anxieties being carried to the pillow, and the struggle for bread being followed by a feverish chase after rest. Downstairs, and through the lower room, where two new arrivals are claiming standing-place by the tire, and where the letter writer is readitig over his now finished composition with a troubled, anxious face, and descending some outer steps, we are in a cellar where lockers with keys are ranged against the wall, wherein water is laid on, awl in which basins and laundry tubs are provided. The shirts and linen we saw hanging to dry upstairs have been washed Lere ; the sleepers we saw and heard have the privilege of washing here also if they think fit, and the charge for all this accommodation is threepence a night ; and to any one staying six nights the Sunday is thrown in. Soap, it should be remarked, is not provided by the proprietor, but all the other items, of gaslight, fire, house-room, and sleeping accommodation, are in cluded in this charge of eighteenpeuce a week. This was described to us as a "Cadgers' House," and its complement of twenty-seven single men lodgers, five single woven lodgers, and twenty-one married couples, is generally made up before 12 at night. " Wilinotes Chambers," in Thrawbstreet, Spital fields, are on a much larger scale than the establish meta just named, and are designed for a very different set of customers. The internal applisnces are superior, and the charge is higher. Out of the dark and squalid street, and pushing through a swing door at the end of a gaily papered passage, and you stand in a large well lit room which seems palatial in its contrast to the habitations around. The large boiler of the store near the door has recently buret, and one of the fires is consequently unlit ; but iu the neatly pointed bricks of the model range near it, in the comparative cleanliness of the ! people sitting about, iu the numbered lockers placed in the principal sitting or coffee room instead of the cellar below, we traced a vast increase in comfort over the place we inspected last. Near the window were a quantity of small thin rush lights, in size and slimness like dolls' candles, and these were given out one by one, as the lodgers re tired upstairs. The washing room here was in active requisition during our stay, and we shall give some notion of the scale on which the proprie tor's arrangements are made by saying that the wooden framework wherein the basins stand is to be shortly replaced by a marble slab. "The wood goes more rotten like with Lavin' water spilt on it, and marble 'll be cheaper in the end," we were told, after learning that the house allowed all itscustomees " the use of plates." The landlord here has another house over the way conducted on similar principles, but " more smaller like," and in the two establishments there are nine large coke fires alight night and day. About a hundred people are lodged here, who pay 4d. a night if they stay a week, with the seventh night thrown in; and the THE CALCUTTA AND CHINA MAUS. The Peninsular and Oriental Company'sisteam. ship Ripon, Captain Culing, with the above mails, arrived ►t Southampton yesterday evening. She briny 53 parent gen, 9 packages of specie amounting to 4.896 f., and • gear ral cargo, including 2,700 bales of raw silk, of the value of 240,0001. The Ripon experienced westerly gales from Cope Carbon to Gibraltar. Across the Bey of Biscay she met with a squall from the south, accompanied by rain and a heavy head sea Up the Channel strong north-eaeterly winds and thick weather prevailed. On the 30th ult. the Ripon spoke • Turki►h vessel to the north of Cape St. Vincent, and on the following day, south of Burlieg . .., the steamer ILassilim bound east. The Ceylon left Gibraltar for Alexandria on the 27th ult. The Egyptian screw steamer Ibrahim arrived at Gibraltar on the 27th. and saluted the garrison with 21 guns. The acre. troopship Tamar, from Portsmouth, anieed at Cibraltar on the 26th. She eneounterid heavy gales throughout the voyage.

The =Aar and crew saved themselves by taking to their boats. The Spanish authorities require all vowels to show their colours when paring within range of the fortress. It is supposed that neglect of this rule was the cause of the Spaniards firing into the Mermaid.

VisiT OF TUE METROZOLITAN BoARD OF WoRES TO EU040.710:13.-00 Monday forenoon, the Metropolitan Board of Works, including Mr. J. Thwarts., chairman ; Mr. Creasy, his secretary ; Mr. Freemen, chairman of the Main Droinage Committee ; Mr. Bertlgette, chief engineer to the board, and abLut twenty-five members of the board, paid a visit to the Craigentiony Meadows to inspect the at stem of irrigation by town sewage. which has for esteem' years past been carried on there. The members of the board were accompouied by Mr. !'Pherson, superintendent of streets and buildings. The party first visited Restalng Meadows, along with Mr. Scott, the tenant, who explained the process by which the meadows were irrigated with the sewage that flows down from the city. The inspection of this port of the graw-fields coo chided, the members of the board were next conducted to Figgate Whirls by Mr. Bryce, manager to Mr. Miller, the proprietor of Craigeotiony Meaduwa. The gentlemen coat , posing the party were there shown about twenty acres of ground, which was originally sand, and worth only about 6d. per acre, but which, by the application of the sewage• manure, had at a small outlay been converted into rich sod f-rills soil, which had during the lost thirty-five years yielded rentals varying from 201. to :RV. en acre. Several members of the board expressed their satisfaction at this gratifying result. We understand that the board has at pre wit under its consideration a proposal to apply the sewage of the north side of London to about 30,000 acres of sandy ground in Essex somewhat on the principle pursued at Craigeotinny.—Scotamon. SUDDEN DEATH OF Ma. DEPUTY HOUGHTON.— The death of Mr. Lures Houghton, the deputy of Cheep Ward, occurred suddeely yesterday morning at his residence at Holloway. The deceased, who was a member of the Gold smiths' Company, was sleeted to represent the ward of Cheap in the Court of Common Council in the year 1850, and was only • few weeks ago appointed deputy of that ward, in the mole of the late Deputy, Mr. Flamm. [Stamped, ld. Additional] linters comforts seemed well worth the extra penny. It is curious, however, to note the wide contrast between the people seated in the various boxes in the long gas-lit room. The bricklayer's labourer, in lime-spotted fustian or corduroy, his agricul tural brother with the loam from distant ploughed fields still clinging to his dress, and the lower grade of artisan, are largely represented. But, over and above these, are shabby-genteel figures in rusty cloth, who look ashamed, and sulky, and idle, and worthless, who have watery lack-lustre eyes and bloated faces, and whose career of drunken deca dence may be traced step by step from comfort and respectability to poverty, houselessuess, and a nightly alternation between the streets a police cell and a fourpeuuy lodging, when fourpence can be procured. The broken-down shopman is pal pably here too. From ill-health, or hard luck, or misconduct, he has sought another situation in vain, and after pawniug first the cheap jewellery and the Sunday cane, and, finally, the whole of his clothes ; after taking a cheaper and a cheaper lodging while waiting fur better timee—he becomes too shabby to even apply for the employ ment he has learnt, and sinks into the performer of odd jobs, and lodges where warmth and light are gratuitous, and the absence of wardrobe is not an ezos+►tion to be remarked. A peculiar ridge on the second finger of the red right hand of one of the men before us, was said to arise from the constant use of scissors, and to mark him as an ex-hueudraper's assistant, and there was something in Lis smirk and bearing which did not contradict the theory. But the largest of all the establishments we visited is known as "Smith's," and is situated in Flower-street, Spitaltiehls. Llere, in the language of a handbill being freely circulated iu the district, for3d. a Light, or is. Gd. a week, "first-class accom modation will be provided, the house having been fitted up iu first-rate style, with all the latest im provements, new bedsteads, beds, and bedding sur passing ail others at the price in Loudon, a most com modons kitchen, 80 feet long, good fires, and a good supply of cooking utensils, au excellent wash-house, and a watchman kept to call lodgers at any Lola' they like." This programme is very fairly carried out. The house iu question is only just opened, sod the licensed number not yet settled, but " we hope to take in 132, if our friends the police will allow us." It is clean and tolerably comfortable throughout, while the lockers duly numbered are to be arrauged iu a small glass covered yard, and a reading-room supplied with newspapers will open out of that devoted to cooking and eating. We go through the sleeping-rooms upstairs, see the same figures reposing in every variety of uncomfortable attitude, and remark on the curious family likeness which obtains. The 'lumber of sleepers and their contiguity, the dim light shed by our candle iu the large room, and the half dressed forms of the men disrobing, all reminded one of the cabin of a large steamer at night. The sheets are all, for obvious reasons, marked iu a type we are more accustomed to see on advertising hoardings than on : but as Mr. Smith begs us to observe, both beds and tickiugs are new, and " to-morrow will be the day for changing the sheets," a ceremony which occurs once in every week. Some mouths ago this proprietor was wrongfully suspected of giving information to the authorities whereby some of his neighbours were convicted of theft, and the whole of his ground-floor windows (at the other house, too) were summarily smashed. Shortly afterwards circumstances occurred exone rating him from the unpopular charge, and the windows (which he had publicly declared should never be mended) were quietly put in by the very hands by whom they had been destroyed. We went over many other establishments of a similar class, picking them out at random as we walked through what are spoken of as " the worst neigh bourhoods in Loudon," between the Lours of ten p.m. and one a.m.. and found their leading cha racteristics to be such as we have described. The police license, showing the number of people al lotted to each room, is placed conspicuously in its centre; ventilators and other modern improve ments are being widely introduced ; and it seems certain that, in placing our cheap lodging-houses under the supervisiou of the police, we have nut only protected the poor man from the grave moral evils inseparable from overcrowded rooms, but have ensured him materi-il comforts, and increased Lis chances of health. TOTAL LOSS OF THE MAIL STEAMER JURA 1N THE MERSEY. (nom ouz own COWSPOIMIXT.) LIVERPOOL, THIIRISDAT. The Quebec and Montreal Ocean Steam Naviga tion Compaoy'e royal mail steamship Jars, from Quebec oo the 22ed ult., was wrecked and became a total loss at the mouth of the Mersey this morales. Having leaded her despetches at Loodooderry last even ing, about six o'clock. she mind off the river, near the Bell Buoy, between twelve and ose this morning, and took the pilot on board. The weather was very thick, and the pilot was not the one who usually navigates these vessels into port, the latter being ill at the time. The vessel was brought up the Formby Chancel, and either from a mieeolculation of distance, or from mistaking the Crosby light for that of the north docks, she got outside the channel, and ran upon the "Crosby Spit," or "Crosby Poiut," a narrow sand bank tanning out between Crosby end Waterloo. The fore part of her keel became 6 :ad is the bank, the stem h►nging in deep water ; but it was hoped that she would be got off as the *eat flood tide. Sign►ls of distress brought steam Waders, tugs, and lighters to her aid, and her mails, specie, pessengen, and pert of Uncut-go, which consisted principally of grain, were safely got out by an early hour. Soon after 6 o'clock she parted slightly amidships, and since that tune her stern has been gradually settling down. This afternoon she was still above water, ►nd the remainder of the cargo was being got out. Her bulwarks and part of her rigging are greatly damaged, and, of course, Woos she broke, all hope of gettiog her off in a serviceable condition bare vanished.

ROYAL ENGLISH OPERA, COVENT-GARDEN. __ _ _ Mr. Diaciarren'e new opera lielreilyn (which, pro perly speaking, ought to have inaugurated the opening of this theatre by the English Opera Company) was given for the first time last evening. The delay in its production was made up for by the care and completeness of its perform anos. We have seldom seen a dramatic piece better put upon the stage. It is evidently a work on which our greatest English musician has put forth all his strength, and we are °atria:od that it is worthy of his name. Of t►e greatest part, we weepiest there can be little difference of opinion ; bat we could not help thinking that other portions were more elaborate than happy ; that the smell of the lamp was more perceptible than its effect iu throwing light and deeming on the composition. But such an impression is often the remit of the first heariug of music of the very highest order when it. beauties lie deep below the surface. We must, therefore, defer our da tailed criticism on this opera till we have enabled ourselves, by further heariog, to speak with greater confidence. DRAMA. DRUlti-LANE. The revival of Macbeth, last sight at Drtiry-larts, with all those sack and operatic accessories which - have been engrafted upon the drama since Shakespeare's time (not without critical protest), may fairly be regarded as the great dramatic event of Messrs. Falconer and Chat terton's present season. The Shakespearian plays which have preceded this revival have been put upon the stage without any pretension to display, but Mactieth is mounted with more spectacular liberality. The antiquarian and unfamiliar correctness of costume and detail which dia• tinguisbed Mr. Charles Kean's elaborate revival of the same play at the Princees's Theatre has sot been copied, but the drama has been embellished much in that rich traditional style adopted by Mr. Macready during his Drury-lane hip. Miss helm Faticit'm lady Macbeth is the great feature of the present revival, and it as a performance that is almost new to the public. When MIAs Faucit accepted a short engagement with Mr. Charles Dillon at the Lyceum Theatre in the spring of 1&18, she played this part about half-adores times, but the management was in its last dying agonies, and nothing which was produced, however good, could have created any very deep impression. Miss Faucit's impersonation last night ou the boards of the No called national theatre may be almost regarded as her metropolitan first appearance in the part, and her former attempts may be dismissed as rehearsals. The character suits her mental more than her physical powers. Every thing that a highly cultiv►ted mind, an intuitive conception of the poet's meaning, end the hardest study in the modern ideal school of acting, can do for a sound rendering of Lady Macbeth, Miss Fault does for it, and yet she struggles through the strong passages at the commencement of the play with evident effort, and makes a ter deeper impression in the more intense sod delicate porting'. As we have said before, when speaking of her acting, she seems to us to want real passion, and succeeds best in giving life to the softer emotions of the female heart. As lmogen she pro. bably Mande without a rival ; as Lady Macbeth the can never reach more than a secondary position. The ranting bombastic speech, wholly unworthy of Shakespeare's genius, which Lady Macbeth utters after reading the letter, and just before the entrance of Macbeth, gained little by Miss F►ncit's laboured delivery, but nothing could well be more spiritual, dreamy, and impressive, without coarse- Dem, than the great sleep-walking scene, with its fine broken soliloquy. Is the melodrama of the part Miss Fausit was more suggestive than forcible, realising little, and leaving much to the imagination of her audience. A womanly grace, however, tempered the whole performance, which was often out of tune with the words, and this pace was not marred by any finical affectatioe. Mr. Phelps's Macbeth is very familiar to the public, this being one of the characters which he played much at Sadler's Walls. Mr. Creswiclea Maeda was • gentlemanly, sensible per formance; and Mr. Belmores ant witch was remarkable for a most artistic make-up. The rest of the characters were performed in what is called a respectable manner. Shakespeare's minor parte an not always very thank( al ans. As • spectacle Macbeth is mounted numbly, witk all that practical wisdom which marks the Drury. lane management. The scenery is massive, and much is made of the noble stage space—pertaulerly in the banqueting sone. The caldron scene is provided with • fine Waster &masque rook and moonlight set *sure by Mr. Beverley. The choruses appear to be well selected, and the principal singers in the operatic episode On Mr. Bertisman sad Mies Bebe= Isaacs.

Next followed twenty rounds of dim tiosal quick firing from the same gun in 10 min. 10 sec. The next trial was with 20 rounds from each of the three guns without lubricators (directional quick firing), and the result wail as follows :---Shunt gun, 10 min. 5 sic. ; wedge, 8 lulu. 13 sec. ; Whitworth, 10 min. 21 arc. A trial was then made with rifled spheres, about 241 b. weight each, to act as grape or mai, by firing from three to six at a time. One passed through the target at NM yards rang, the other two spread so far to the right and lift that it was con sidered dangerous to repeat the trial. One it,. afterwards fired at a target at 1,000 yards range, and pawed to the left of it. This concluded the trials for to-day. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFolt1), Joy. 3.
