We have, I however, this morning a scrap from Dresden of serious purport, if it be true. Prussia calls for seven thousand labourers to complete the fortify ing of the Saxon capital. King John's indepen dence will not, then, greatly burden him. I made a pilgrimage to Mayence the day before yesterday, that I might view the relics of an extinct animal—to wit, of the poor departed German Bend. Its relics consisted of Nassau, fission, and Bavarian troops, whose gay uniforms gave the city a holiday look, and whose variety of costume made these epees Sale ferelessimpleemsbesislitan wee :sane the case. • They were not now ecaidered to be a Federal army, for the Bund was dead, and their home governments were either extinguished by force of circumstances, or were negotiating separately with Prussia. Bet they had come together as belligerent Federal, and there remained among them certain waggons of their military train, which bore the name of a Federal corps d'arm4e. What did that matter be yond assisting me to understand the human relics ? Nothing at all. I might not believe in the flags, and the uniforms, and the outward show ; those waggons would soon be painted a Berlin blue, the Bavarians would travel southward before many hours should have passed, the Hessians and men of Nassau would be transformed into King Wil liam's subjects. It was arranged that no shot should be fired from loophole or bastion ; that the loopholed walls along the river side and the bastions which guarded the city from a land attack should be quietly surrendered ; barracks and sentry-boxes, cannon and magazines, with all which belongs to a first-class fortress, were to pass under Prussian con trol. There would be an entry of helmeted sol_ disrs, and a hoisting of the plain black and white flag. No more would be heard, for ever and a day, of joint occupancy by Austrian and Prussian. The fiery Hun would henceforward be a stranger in Moyence ; and as to any peril from the neighbour hood of the furious Frank, were not waggons and gun-carriages to be painted Berlin blue ? I might not believe in the outward show of the city, yet it had a holiday look which did not seem like surrendering in hopeless discouragement. There were flags on the railway station and flags on the public buildings, a final display of bright colours before plain black and white should raper vene. Here was the Hessian white and red, there the Bavarian white and blue, whilst, at a few un important places there lingered the tricolour of the Bund. I paused at a guardhouse, where some young Hessians were on duty, with pipe-clay belts and needle guns. They were from Electoral Hesse, so needs must change their allegiance, and when I hinted that they were well dressed for the part which they bad to play—being scarcely distin guishable from Prussians—they shrugged their shoulders and smiled, as though I had paid them a compliment. Now came sounds of music, and there was a glitter of many bayonets along the quay. These light blue costa, black belts, and muzzle loading rifles belonged to South Germany. They were not to be Prussianised yet awhile, which gave them somewhat of interest. The Bavarians as a na tion had miserably failed, had been too late and too slow, beginning to fight when all was lost. But it was a battalion of smart active lads fit to redeem their bad fortune at another time, and to champion the Southern Bond. I noticed that their cooking cans were carefully covered with canvas, that their folded great coats were coiled round the knapsack, and their bayonet sheaths strapped outside the scabbard of the useless infantry sabre. They were in high spirits at the prospect of so soon seeing their friends, and when, after crossing the bridge of boats to Kastel, they were dismissed on the garrison exercise ground, their merriment broke forth with plentiful jokes and laughter. " Yes, we are glad to go," said a sergeant with whom I spoke ; " what could our small States do against Prussia, after Benedek's defeat I But, look you," he added, "it was not the small ones of the North that beat ns. Mecklenburg and Brunswick would have counted for nothing had Benedek marched into Berlin." Amongst much of outward show and which I might not believe, and of holiday making which covered popular discomfort, there was one noticeable thing in Mayence as contrasted with Dresden, with Prague, or even with Frankfort. In those cities I had seen what was an armed occupation by moderate well-disciplined conquerors. In Mayenoe 1 saw a friendly force mixing with friendly citizens. There were pleasanter smiles for officers and men Tim BLOCKADE OF MATAMOROS.—President from young persons of low degree, whilst zubetan- J e h ee eehms lamed th e fellewing pinekmation„.. wh ee ese tial tradespeople had a good word to say for their a war is existing in the republic of Mexico, Kara, unlucky defenders.

(TROY A CORRISPOIDILTO There has been much discussion about the famous rasdle-gun, its efficiency, and it, iaysator. I have been at some pains to ferret out the truth. For than five years I have bad otportanitiee esnisthur sd its porta, at Inaxemlnarg. Treves, Mayence, end Frankfurt, and very often have at tended the instruction of the Prussian recruits in the use of that arm, and their continued ball practice. The Prussians have no regard to economy in their ball practice (as in England ), considering the great rue of a soldier is to hit his enemy. Their drill in this is so oce.l tinuous, that even if the needle-gun had been an inferior arm, it would !ruin this circumstance have been a fomel dable weapon. The first great defect that occurred to me I was the impossibility of preventing the soldier from 11 firing away his ammunition too quickly. With all its dr I facts however the needle-gun proved superior to any mueske loader, bet it was certainly not efficient at more than 1109 paces. The men who may use it in action must be kept at such continuous employment that they have not time to 1 think of fear on the field. But it requires frequent eleaushig, sad, though simple to the eye, its machinery is se (rated, that if the metal once ge ts rusty, its backward and forward movement in loading will become difficult. The needle-gun is not adapted for the rough usage of a long eampaign in the hands of fatigued soldiers. It was used with great efficacy at Duppel, but there the soldiers were close to their quarters, and could clean their firelocks every evening. Even in the last war of some weeks' duration, the troops were near to towns and villages, so that after some nights' bivouac they could put their firelocks in order. But the Prussians themselves must be well aware of this very great defect of the needle-gun, as those regiments which came to Frankfort, after being in the field, had to parade three or four times • day, and whether in heavy marching order, or at muster or roll calk, or in fatigue jackets, each soldier had in his hand his firelock for inspection of officers and non-commissioned. For some years there was a difficulty in getting • sight of the machinery of the needle-gun, but now all are proud to show it, still trying, however, to keep up the mystery of the composition of the cartridges. Its history is this. Be tween 1846 and 1848 some of the present needle-guns were being manufactured at the Royal Arsenal in Berlin. During the revolution there in 1848 the Royal arsenal was plun dered by the mob, and it is just possible, but not probe ble, that one or two needle-guns might have been stolen. In the spring of 1849 work was scarce in Berlin. A gunsmith came to Frankfort and applied to a mer chant, • native of Berlin, for employment. While there he described the needle-gun, its rapidity of fire, and the component parts of the cartridge (so long called a secret). At this time Archduke John of Austria was in Frankfort, in the expectation of being declared Emperor of G•ll3lAny. The merch.ant communieated with ore of the Archduke's staff, saying that the workman from Berlin, who was now with him, was the brother-in law of Dreyse, the inventor of the needle-gun (now Herr iron Dreyes). At the request of Archduke John the mer chant started for Berlin, returning shortly with • first-rate needle-gun and the requisite ammunition. He showed it to the Archduke, and o ff ered to supply any quantity, with requisite ammunition, to the Austrian army, but his high ness expressed his opinion that it was far inferior to the Austrian musket; however, be purchased the needle-gun. The entry in the merchant's book is 3rd September, 1849. "Archduke John , • firearm, 53 thaler," (being between 71. sada sterling). There is in Frankfort &collector of ancient arms, Armour, &c., • Mr. J. H. Benack, No. 9, Graben Geese. I give his address,as it may be valuable to amateurs or gunsmiths. He has in his possession a double barrelled fowling piece, loading in a peculiar manner at the breech, and firing with the pressure of a needle. The cartridge, which is before me, has powder and No. 4 shot together, and is enclosed in a peculiar paper. This double barrel was made in 1842. Bens& has also in his possession • curious old firelock with the date 1718. It opens at the breech by • joint (hinge), into which goes a movable iron chamber bolding the cartridge, exactly resembling the chamber of the needle-gun. This firelock, with bayonet on a hinge at the muzzle, weighs about 91b. or 101 b. It is fired by the old lock, dog flint and pan. If Mr. Dreyse had seen a firelock of this description between 1842 and 1846, the advance to the present needle-gun for ball is very easily explained. The rapidity of the fire of the needle-gun, and the fall of their comrades exposed to it, threw a sort of panic among the Austrians as they advanced to the charge, such as was ex hibited by the English troops when first o pposed to the shouting, springing, screaming of the Highlanders in 1745, as with their shields and claymores they advanced to the charge. But at the battle of Cul. loden the Duke of Cumberland turned these manceuvrea upon themselves, allowing them to advance to within twenty paces, when the English shot them down in ranks. But except behind defences, the needle-gun is most formidable, and when a Panic once gets among troops it is difficult to stop it. It is stated that the Prussians have • certain panic when exposed to the fire of the Bavarian Podowill ball, the invention of a colonel in that army. The ball is said to be true up to 1,800 yards. It is on the expansive system. A Prussian officer assured me that a wound in the body from this ball is considered by the Prussian soldiers as mortal. The Bavarian government is busy con verting this morale-loader into a breech-loader. In the Seven Years War the Prussians used a firelock firing six times in the minute. In 1775 the Swedish colonel, am Fleng, presented a firelock to the King, the bayonet d o ing the duty of a ramrod, about 101bs. weight, and firing 18 shots • minute. The Chassepot system, now approved of for the French army, fires 18 shots or more p e r minute. The correspondents of the Prussian army speak in great praise of the system of sup. plying ammunition in action, but old British officers must r ecollect the excellent system of reserve ammunition carried on mules in the rear of their regiments. The Prussians have two small cartouche-boxes fixed on a belt to their front, each carrying twenty rounds, and indite their packs they have sixty rounds, much more i,noonve nient than the small pocket at the outside corner of the French knapsack. The needle-gun of the Prussians did a great deal, but the energy of their superior officers, andthe judicious use of the railways, combined with their wonderful improved system of field telegraphy, did snore. The Prussian telegraph corps are most admirable, one to each corps d'artnee, with 12 waggons carrying all material. Each division of their army has a detachment of gen darmes, men of Herculean strength, with horses strong enough to carry them—a corps worthy of being imitated in the British barytes.

THE FRIENDLY RELATIONS BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND RUSAIA. — The Debate of yesterday says " For some few days nothing has been talked about but the friendly sentiments exchanged between the high society of Russia and the American officers on • mission to the Czar. On both sides there have been cordial outpourings, and almost incon ceivable transports of tenderness, which even borrowed their form of expression from the language of the Orient. ' I see before me,' exclaimed an American com modore, ' the portrait of the grand sovereign ; that portrait has been decked with flowers. May there never be aught else but flowers between Russia and America.' One of Where's himumamouchi could not have said it better ; but what in substance are these demonstrations really worth? We know not. Nevertheless, if we examine our own consciences we shall be forced to admit that during the last few years we have not done overmuch to revive the old friendship which for merly united Franc* and the United States, and that it is somewhat our own fault if that nation, only moderately flattered by our theories upon the expansion of the Latin races, seeks the alliance of Russia with so much esger- nem." A very pleasing interchange of good feeling be tween landlord and tenants occurred on Tuesday in the I presentation to Lord and Lady Powerscourt, at their in mantic seat near Enniskerry, of a large oil painting reprosentint she noble pair on one canvas, and executed by Ifr. Wngal. The portraits, with a splendid diamond brood), valued at some 12U sovereigns, were presented by a number of the tenants of the Powerscourt, Dublin, Wicklow, and Tyrone properties, with a suitable address. His lordship replied on his own and Lady Powerscourt's part, and after wards the tenants present, to the number of nearly 100, sat down in the old ball of his mansion to an abundant dinner. VIOLENT DEATHS.-1n 1864, the latest year for which the returns have been issued, the number of deaths in England from external causes was 17,018. It k ep t below 15,000 until the year 1863, when it 15, rose to 6N, and in 1864 made a much larger advaDoe. The increase has been most marked in the deaths from fractures and contusions-5,397 in 1862, 5,852 in 1863, 6,500 in 1864. The number of persons returned as acci dentally drowned in the year 1864 also rose to 2,714 —a discreditable number, considering how easy it is to lawn to swim. Nit it is probable that some persons found drowned really committed su icide. The number of deaths from burns and scalds shows some ten dency to decline, but is still nearly 3,000 ; the deaths of girls from these causes between 5 and 10 years of up have in the last 17 years averaged 344 a year, while those of boys have averaged o nl y 200 a year—a difference mainly owing to the greater inflammability of girls' dresses. The number of known suicides in 1864 was 1,340. In the seven years 1851-64 it has averaged 66 in every malion of population, never varying more than 6 per cent. from that average. Such is, as Dr. W. Farr phrases it, the iron regularity of the law of suicide ; but he justly adds that it must not be assumed that the tendency is unco trollable. SUICIDE 07 A SOLDIER AT CHATHAM. —A dreadful case of suicide occurred in the Royal Engineer Barracks, at Brampton, yesterday afternoon. A sap per named Fox shot himself. The sad occurrence took place soon after 3 o'clock, wh!n the people in the barracks were startled by bearing the report of a rifle landed with bal. It appears that - Fox bad been working in the tailors' shop in the barracks of late, making tinges and trousers for the men of the corps. This afternoon he was thus employed in the tailor's shop, in letter C paesage; be was at work with six compinions, and seemed in capital spirits, joking and laughing with his comrades. Suddenly he jumped off, exclaimed " to HernHersoff !" and left t he he wor kshop. He soon af ter put an end his life. leaving the tailors' room he went to his -modbarrack, in the north wing of the barracks, losded his s rifle hot himself through the bead. It appears proable that the deceased bad an attack of delirium tremens, for he had been indulging much in drink of late. Fel was • young and belonged to the 21st Company ; had formerly is maid that be formerly attempted his life. An inquest will be held at Broenkt_on on the deceased to-night. THE WRECK Or THE BRI7IBER. —MT. B. L. Gross, the county coroner, opened an inquiry on Tuesday, at Size well, a hamlet about five miles from Ald is boroagb, touching the death of a little girl, about eight years of age, wise supposed to have been one of the German painsogers co board the steamer Bruiser, and whose body was washed ashore on Monday. The inquiry was adjourned till Satur day next, when there is reason to believe evidence of Men tification will be forthcoming. The Coroner made out his warrant for tie intermeat of the body. Xs. C. S. READ, M.P. ON THE CATTLE PLAINIE. —Yr. C. S. Reed, M.P., wh o one of the Cattle Plague Commissioners, hashed an opportunity during the last few days of addressing his constituents in West Meek on the subject of the rinderpeet. He expressed his belief that the best way of suppressing the cattle plague was to adopt the measures prescribed by the act at present in force. When that act was passed in February the* were no Ire than 15,000 came of disuses per week, but since then the number had been reduced to 100 per week. Further, the. Mesas* had been out in Irslaad with a loin of only 45 animals r i Zh a t. Scotland it had nearly disappeared, although it had existed upon 3,70 e farms. He was mixed ... :_meeipire that it wee theenitieVnliresflierpitest to extend to sheep the restrictions which=ly 4 r4 as regards cattle. As he believed he was instrumental in freeing both sheep and pigs from certificates, It might be imagined how annoyed and grieved heves when he hwird. of this last order. But if certain farmers Lad the disease and kept it secret, if certain dealers would buy animals because they were cheep, and if the local eoinsetitteee would not carry out their orders, the government could only consider the safety of the country at large, and make restrictions. However, he believed those reetrietiens would be removed. THREATENED OUTBREAK AXONU THE CONVICTS AT THE CHATHAM CoNVICT rilltiON. —During the hurt few da t a a spirit of insubordination has man ifested itself alll convicts at the Chatham convict prison, Bt. Mary's, at one time threatened to assume a rather lotions aspect, several acts of insubordination and mutiny havi le st place among the more daring of the prisoners, , it was apprehended, to a repetition of the disturbances w took - place at the same prison a few years since, on which occasion the assistance of the military bad to be obtained to overcome the convicts. The ruse of this fresh outbreak was once more the character of the food given to the convicts, the diet within the last few days having undergone a change with which the convicts appear to be greatly dissat isfied, On Sunday, during the dinner hour, the spirit of insubordination culminated, and would have assumed serious importance, but for the decisive action of the governor and other officials, who were fully prepared for the contingency. Several of the ringleaders in the disturbances were promply seized, placed in irons, and sent to solitary cells to await instructions from the director-generaL An in vestigation into the whole of the circumstances has lance been instituted, resulting in twelve of the more deter mined of the convicts tech receiving corporal panishment, which was indicted yesterday in the prwon addition to which the prisoners flogged will be reduced to a lower cis- and will forfeit all the privileges they formerly en . • ' mtenoss to clam, joyed, besides losiag any reinCanion of their seat~___ which they had become entitled. Since the prompt action on the part of the officials there have been no further attempts at acts of insubordination. TIM LOCK-1JB? Or THE MANCBSerrilt CARISX TEM AND Juliana. A delegate meeting of the carp eat ers and joiners of London was held last evening at the Seise& Hotel, Bouverie-street, for the purpou of considering the bed mows of rendering support to the locked-out men at Manchester. The following resolution was adopted after some dieettssicm:—" Tint this meeting having beard the dot/smote of the deputation from Manchester sate the lock-out of the carpenters and joiners in that city, pledges itself to support &collection on their behalf this week. and that the meeting stand adjourned until this day week to take more decided steps to enable the Manchester work men to resist the lock-out." THE MID-WALES RAILWAY.—The ordinary half yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the (AGO, 73, Ethelburg-house, Bishopsgate.street ; Mr. Whal ley, M.P., in the chair. The report of the directors stated that during the past half-year considerable progress bad been made. Many obstacles to the flow of traffic over the line bad been removed, friendly alliances with other com panies bad been promoted, and every endeavour had been used to develop the traffic on the line. The Carthts b r anch of the Brecon and Methyr Railway, • yf work of great magnitude, is expected to be complekd in Oc t , a nd would then give the company access not only the Merthyr district but also to the Vale of Reath Railway, which accommodates a district of the greeted importanee to the company. The Mid-Wales Railway was promoted mainly to afford a through communication between the mineral districts of South Wales on the one hand, and North Wales, the abippin. ports on the Dee and Meng, and the great manufactunng district of Lancashire on the other hand, and as such received the unction of pirlin ment. The directors bad kept that object steadily in view, and they trusted ere long that the intentions of the legislature and of the promoters would be fulfilled, sad that the line would secure that which from its position it was entitled to, viz., the main route between North and South Wales. The chairman moved the adoption of the report, and Mr. Lefoux seconded the motion, which, after some conversation with reference to the trade lineage ments with local railways, was adopted. SIINIVINGIIALE AND CAMBRIDGE Town RAILWAY. —The half-yearly general meeting of the shareholders of this company MIS held yesterday at the office*, 1, Breed Sanctuary ; Mr. A. Ricardo in the chair. The report stated that the directors were sorry to announce that the elpectations entertained by them at tom date of the last meeting se to the matisfutory progress of the contractor had not been realised. The en g ineer had, however, given Dottie to the centimeter to resume the works within seven days ; and if lie did net do so, under the terms at the MD tract the directors would undertake the works themselves. The report was carried after a alight discuasion, and the meeting separated. A distraint has jut! been made at the (Bay Railway Station, Yorkshire, by the load bard, payment of a highway rate. The company bad refused to pay, their oblation being that the local board bad so power to mobs highway race, and could ally levy &strict rates.
