By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E., And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—lifeclical Circular. • N°. 21,812.

CHARLES KENT'S NEW POEMS: Just published, Dlt EA M LAN D. With other Poems. By W. CHAIILES KENT, Barrister=at-Law. Fcap„ Bvo., price " The author of 'Dream lan and 'Alethei.o has risen to s. height so very close to the summit of genius, that he may be commiserated for It's inability to grapple with the last peaks of its elevation. There is abundance of talent, a delicate taste, an endless richness and diversity of image, topic, and illusion : the landscape is meat 'incurious ; and the inns's of verse excellent."—Literary Budget. Mr. Kent has 'undeniable merits—warm aria high-toned feeling, a pleasant combination of . -, •rtine and humour, and no small power to Pepe at Twickenham' is a cabinet picture. Marianne will commend itself to all mothers by its gush Of parental tenderness, and its aegliaint ance with baby wiles and mysteries. Fructider' Shows what Dutch fidelity of word painting the author can master when he tries. His fruit is as vivid anti weal characterised as if Lance had painted it."--Athenttim. "The charm of Mr, Kent's poetry, as it is the first condi tion of success to all poets, is that he is in sympathy with his subject and not only with himself t that he is truly poet and not egotist. Bnt it is by no means his 'only merit. He is a mas ter of versification. The floW Of his verse is smooth and me lodious, and enriched With ft copious and ornate vocabulary. ` 6helley at Marlow' a painting exquisitely delicate. The vision of Shelley with which Mr. Kent presents us is almost perfect. `DREAMLAND ' is a work conceived in a noble spirit, and executed with scholarly taste, frequently with 'Sashes of true poetic inspiration. The Dying Bridegroom' is distinguished by a genuine pathos, which leads us to be lieve that Mr. Kent would, succeed eminently in some story of the affections."—The London Review. "Mr. Kent's poems come before the 'world with the advan tage, not only of an author's name, but of a name already agreeably and musically known in the metrical literature of the day. His 'Aletheia' was very favourably received by the public, and has no doubt been the companion of many thoughtful readers who will gladly welcome another volume from his pen, A series of portraits drawn with true poetic sympathy and veneration, The best of all, we think, is that of Scott. There is something in the lines that will remind the reader of the chime of Scott's own verse."--,Tohn Bull. " Verses, many of them extremely tend e r a n d h armon i ous , and all indicating a mind carefully cultured and imbued with elegant tastes."--Daily News. " Poems of very considerable excellence. Fructidor is a very close and Vigorous word-painting of an orchard. , Mr. Kent's volume is healthy and vigorous in sentiment, correct in composition, and contains many happy touches of true fancy, very gracefully expressed."—The Critic. "The pictures Mr. Kent makes are carefully drawn and effectively coloured. His work is on the whole in good taste. It possesses the undeniable, yet, in these days, rare merit of intelligibility, and is, moreover, very readable."—The Art- World. " We like some of Mr. Kent's minor poems even better than Dreamland.' Ile is a real poet, unquestionably, and often versifies with extreme felicity. Of his poetic power the Monody on Lord Strangford ' affords ample proof : while his capacity to make word-music is shown in ' The Morris Dance: s.' "—The Press. "It was a conception worthy of a true poet to show the depth of his sympathy for the Great Masters of English Song, by devoting the outpourings of his Muse to their special illustration. There is not one of the many pictures here collected which is not perfect in all its parts -whether we consider the sentiment by which it is inspired, the truth of the local colour, or the beauty of the setting. With a thorough appreciation of character, Mr. Kent combines an admirable descriptive power and a masterly command of most mellifluous verse, so that, while the mind is fully gratified, the senses—so to speak—are equally charmed."— Bentley's Miscellany.

The indefatigable Captain R. Burton was also extending the knowledge of Western Africa from his present quarters at Fernando Po. Tiie founder's gold medal had been awarded to the re presentative of the late R. O'Hara Burke, in re membrance of that gallant explorer, with his companion, Wills, perished after having traversed ii the continent of Australia from south to north; and geographical rarseepeaehdsi7sci:lonors t ° t gips the patron's gold medal to Captain Thomas Blake ston, of the Royal Artillery, for his survey of the river Yang-tze•Kiang, from Ys-thou to Ping-shanf extending 900 miles beyond the farthesepoint pre viously reached by Englishmen. The council had also awarded to Mr. John King, the sole survivor of the expedition under Burke, a gold watch, with a suitable inscription, as a recompense for his faith ful and meritorious conduct. L or d ASHBURTON, in a few appropriate preli minary sentences, handed the medal to the Duke of Newcastle, to be forwarded by him to the nearest surviving relative of Mr. Burke. The Duke of NEWCASTLE expressed his willing ness to undertake the task, and remarked that these medals were conferred, not by a body of private gentlemen, bat by the . Crown, through the instru mentality of the society. But the medals themselves received much additional value from the fact that they came through gentlemen of science, who knew the nature of the services for which they were awarded. The noble duke passed a high eulogium upon the character and exertions of Mr. Burke, and assured the society of the great wish he had always to pay the most respectful attention to the sugges tions of the society. Lord ASHBURTON then presented to the duke it watch for King, without whom they would have been ignorant of Burke's successes. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said he should feel the greatest pleasure in transmitting the watch to Sing, who, he believed,' . was sti ll in the colony. The Marseilles mail would Jcavet4tclay, and he would send it at once. Sir R. MuneHisoN announced that the Govern ment of Victoria had granted King a pension for life. He suggested that the portion of Australia explored by Mr. Burke should be called Burke's Land. The PRESIDENT then read his address on the pro gress of geographical science: PRICE..... -..4d.

The female prisoners, who are described as hand some and interesting young women, behaved very violently during the investigation, and several times invoked curses on the head of Mr. Leahy. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 27, 186 2HE NAVY. The operation of testing the rudder of the iron plated frigate Royal Oak, 61, 1,000 horse power, took place at Chatham Dockyard yesterday after noen, in the presence of Mr. It. Abothell, one of the constructors attached to the department of the Controller of the Navy, Mr. Lloyd, and the principal officials of the establishment. The trial of the rudder-post, and the apparatus for working the rudder was deemed eminently satisfactory. The greatest efforts are being made to complete this fine frigate, but owing to the whole of the requisite machinery not having been fixed, the work of coat ing her with her armour plates proceeds but slowly. The Racoon, 22, 40U horse power, undergoing a thorough refit at Chatham Dockyard, will shortly be out of the hands of the shipwrights' department, and in the course of a few days will be undocked for the purpose of shipping her masts. She will afterwards be placed in the same dock to be rigged and completed for sea, when she will be commis sioned by Captain his serene Highness the Prince of Leiningen. The screw steamship Sanspareil, Capt. George Le G. Bowyear, just returned from Vera Cruz and Bermuda, is now preparing at the Devonport dock yard for service in China: The screw steamship James Watt, 89, Capt. Ed. Codd, is expected at Plymouth from the Mediter ranean. Port-Admiral Sir H. Stewart, K.C.8., inspected the crew of the steamship Donegal, Capt. Sherard Osborn, yesterday morning in Plymouth Sound. She was appointed to go into Hamoaze in the after noon, and to be dismantled and put out of commis sion. The screw steam transport Himalaya, 6, Capt. John Seccombe, was appointed to leave Plymouth Sound yesterday afternoon for the Mediterranean, calling at Gibraltar. In order to provide the additional space for the enlargement and extension of Chatham Dockyard, preparations have been commenced by a party of Royal Engineers, under the direction of Lieut.-Col. Lovell, C. 8., for the demolition of the large mar; tello tower at the entrance to Chatham Harbour. The tower is of great strength and solidity, and was constructed, upwards of two centuries since, to de fend, in conjunction with Upnor Castle, the dock yard at Chatham from any hostile attack from the sea. Of late years, however, the fort has been permitted to fall into decay, and the proposed ex tension of Chatham Dockyard has rendered its removal necessary. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Capt. F. H. H. Glasse, C. 8., to the Terror, for service at Bermuda, vice Capt. Hutton, whose period of service has expired ; William S. Lee, midshipman, to the Galatea, as supernumerary ; and James P. M'Ewen, second master, to the Dromedary. Capt. George Ramsay, C. 8., is to have the " good service" pension vacant by the promotion of Capt. Goldsmith to be a Rear-Admiral ; Captain W. J. C. Clifford, C. 8., is to have the " good ser vice" pension, vacant by the promotion of Captain Frederick to be a Rear-Admiral. THE ARMY. The military invalids and time-expired men from the various cavalry and infantry corps serving in the Bombay Presidency, brought home in the screw steamer Robert Lowe, 300 horse-power, Capt. Con gleton, arrived at Chatham garrison yesterday after noon from Gravesend, having disembarked at Custom-house Quay, under the superintendence of the officers of the staff. The detachments include non-commissioned officers and men of the 3d (Prince of Wales's) Dragoon Guards, 7th (Queen's Own) Hussars, Royal, Bombay, and Bengal Artillery, 2d Bombay Infantry, Ist Bengal Fusileers, 19th Native Infantry, Ist Royals, 18th Royal Irish, 72d High landers, 89th, 92d Highlanders, 94th, 95th, 98th, and the 2d battalion Rifle Brigade Regiments, the whole numbering 303 men of all ranks, with 21 women and 39 children. Of this number 97 men and 32 women and children embarked at Bombay, and 206 men, 10 women, and 18 children at Kur rachee. Including detentions at Kurrachee, the Cape of Good Hope, and Spithead, the Robert Lowe made the passage from Bombay to Gravesend in 98 days. During the passage 16 deaths and one birth occurred on board. The deaths include Lieut. F. G. Sherlock, 72d Highlanders, who jumped overboard during a fit of insanity and was drowned ; and Mrs. Walsh, wife of Lieut. Walsh, with 13 of the invalid troops and one child. The following officers arrived from India in charge of the detachm?nts :—Capt. C. W. Willis, 33d Regiment ; Capt. A. Scheberras, 98th Regiment ; Lieut. E. H. Ward, 28th Regi ment; Lieut. L. S. King, 56th Regiment; Lieut. J. J. Bacon, 95th Regiment ; Lieut. W. Grant, 91st Regiment ; Lieut. W. Walsh, Lieut. J. E. Lewis, 3d European Infantry ; Ensign C. J. Hayter, 7th Fusiliers ; Quartermaster J. O'Con nor, and • Staff Assistant-Surgeons Paliologus and Sharp. After the troops had been medically inspected, 33 of the number were sent to Fort Pitt hospital for treatment, and seven insane men to the lunatic asylum. The Royal Artillery were for warded to Woolwich. The station at Landguard Fort, Harwich, which has been occupied by the Essex Rifles Militia during the last three weeks, will be again given up to detachments from the camp at Colchester to-day. It is intended to form a canvas encamp ment at the spot during the summer, to accommodate the troops during their customary rifle practice. ReatLiAMENTARY Pa:PERS ON MEXICO. A second part of " Correspondence relating to Affairs in Mexico"has been prin'ed and laid before Parliament. It embraces the iroceedings of the expeditionary forces from the occupation of Vera Crux by the Spanish troops on Dec. 17, 1862, de tailed in despatches from Comilodore Dunlop, of the Challenger, down to Earl Russell's despatch of May 22, 1862, to Sir C. Wykt. , . The ambiguous conduct of our French allies, nick insinccrity and want of principle, are painfully apparent through out. The latest paper in the collection, Earl Rus- sell's despatch of May 22, embodies the views of her Majesty's Government on the conduct of France in this matter, as the following extracts fully show. Earl Russell thus winds up the farce of Anglo- French intervention, with an approval of Sir C. Wyke's withdrawal of England from all participa tion in the expedition : "Her Majesty's Government regret to find that the hope of agreement between the commissioners of Great Britain and Spain, on the one hand, and of France on the other, was completely extin guished, and that Admiral Jurien de la Graviere and M. Dubois de Saligny had determined to march on Mexico, while you and General Prim were of opinion that there was no reason for refusing to meet the Mexican commissioners in the conference which had been fixed to meet at Orizaba on 15th of April. " The difference of opinion among the commis sioners appear to have chiefly turned on two points. The first of these related to the protection given to General Almonte by the French army, and the demand of the Mexican Government that he should be sent back to France. The second point of dif ference is thus stated by M. Dubois de Saligny in the conference of the 9th of April : " M. de Saligny insists on this point, that it is impossible to deny that the real and principal ob ject of the convention was to obtain satisfaction for the outrages heaped on foreigners by the Mexican Government, and to enforce its observance of trea ties; that the temporising and conciliatory system hitherto pursued was condemned by what was daily occurring, inasmuch as the reign of extortion, tyranny, and violence had been made doubly op pressive, and had rendered the situation of foreigners quite intolerable ; that proofs of this were continually afforded by the complaints daily sent in to him; that the attitude of the allied forces appeared to have stimulated the Government would not treat with that his well-matured opinion formallyto Government;de c la r ae a nd u dd thata that was that it was necessary to march upon Mexico.' " Her Majesty's Government approve your con duct on both those points. They consider that the presence of General Almonte in Mexico, under the protection of the French army, might fairly be gon sidered as a provocat ion to civil war, and her Ma jesty's Government c ould no t haveapproved a mea sure having that tendency ; for at that time the Government government with the allies of negotiations with a view to a peaceful s ettlemen t of their differenees. which were Mexico co n a w l :t e s t i n a g " Her Majesty's Government are also of opinion 'unchangeable answer to M. de that you a d c e te e d lar r a i t g io h n tly of wh h e is n in resolu tion not to treat with the Government of President Juarez, you refused to affix your signature to the answer addressed by the French commissioners to General Doblado, and thereby broke up the Con ference, and put an end to the joint action of the three Powers. " Her Majesty's Government greatly regret that the co-operation with France should cease; and they regret, above all, that the hope of the fulfil ment of the objects of the Convention of October 31, which might have been attained before the end of April, had the conference met on the 15th, should thus have been abandoned. " Her Majesty's Government have every reason to be satisfied with the determination you took. They concur in the opinions given by General Prim, and are happy to find that the conduct of the representative of her Catholic Majesty has been ap proved by the Government of Spain. " Nor is there any reason to regret the course taken by her Majesty's Government. Had they delayed asking redress from the Government of Mexico from the Wrongs of British subjects, they would have given rise to just complaints from those who ate entitled to her Majesty's protection. Had they pursued their own course separately, and re fused to act with France and Spain, they would have produced irritating and unsatisfactory rela tions, perhaps collisions, between the military and naval forces of the three great European Powers. Had they, on the other hand, evinced an insur mountable repugnance to treat with President Juarez, they would have been wanting in due regard to the independence of the Mexican people. " Had her Majesty's Government, therefore, taken any other course than that which was adopted, they would have incurred the risk of evils greater even than the separation which has now occurred. _ _ _ _ " You will understand that while her Majesty's Government lament the course taken by the Com missioners of the Emperor of the French, nothing has occurred to impair the friendly relations which continue to subsist between the two Governments of Great Britain and France. " I am, &C., " RUSSELL." PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE. THE EMBANKMENT OF THE THAMES. The committee re-assembled yesterday morning to proceed with the opposition to the bill. The Right Hon. W. Cowper in the chair. Mr. W, Tite, M.P., was examined, Ho said that he was of opinion that an embankment of the Thames was most desirable between Westminster and Blackfriars-bridges, and it should be carried lower down, if possible. He was also in favour of it being carried further up the river, as far as Chelsea if possible, and a plan for that purpose had already been approved. The embankment between West minster-bridge and Blackfriars.bridge should be accompanied by a roadw4y. Still as there was a great crowd at the West-end, and some further communication was required to free the crowded state of the Strand and about Charing-cross, he wanted a street somewhere near St. Martin's Church, so as to enable persons to get along to the City without interfering with the Strand, which was at present very inconvenient. As regarded the em bankment, he preferred the plan of Mr. Bazalgette, the chief engineer to the Metropolitan Board of Works. He wished to see a broad communication direct from Charing cross to the embankment road. Something more than the embankment was required. If the embankment was carried up to Blackfriars bridge, and then a way made into Cannon-street, he thoughtgreatest possible advan twould be a great convenience, ae. The it public would lie road of the but it would be of more advantage if more lateral communications were made with it. Persons com ing down from the West end, Pall-mall, Piccadilly, and seeking to make athnediralwl tahyattopatrhteofHLoounsdeonof, Commons, would re ceive no facility from the Whitehall-street pro posed, and he could not see how the crush was to be avoided, although it might perhaps be di minished. He was satisfied no heavy traffic would follow the course proposed. There would be no relief by this scheme at the corner of Parliament -street, or at the corner of Bridge street. They were constantly stopped at that corner. That traffic was due to the omnibuses and to the heavy traffic coming from the railways and going out to that part of London; that would be diminished if they got a street wide enough to put a line of posts in the middle, by which the traffic would be divided. If they put a street as vide as the bridge they co u ld divide the traffic into two streams, one going one way and the other another, and they could take shelter in the crossing. When Mr. ta2algette's plan was under examination and consideration by the Metropolitan Board of - Works, the possibility of the embankment was stlggested, and it was known that the Duke of Buccleuch and other gentlemen objected to that plan. Still his plan contemplated n roadway in front of Montague House and White hall Gardens. He agreed with the principle of a solid embankment. The great runjority of the plans proposed show a roadway all the way in one sense or another. With regard to the plan of Mr. I'enne• theme, and the widening of King-street, he thought that portion of the plan was a necessity, and they could enable the Metropolitan Board of Works at once to carry out that, which is excessively wanted for public convenience and in the sense of public taste. It was impossible to conceive a great nation like this, after the discussion upon thaoreign-office, could leave that magnificent building in a street not much wider than the room they were now in. They then got into a broader part of the street, and could wait until happier times, except that immediately at the end he should round the two corners very liberally. The removal of the northern block in King -street he estimated would cost something like £lOO,OOO. It must be done at any rate. As suming the saving to the Metropolitan Board of Works of £92,000 by reason of its being repaid to the cost of the embankment, that would be equal to half the cost of removing this. If the board had £92,000 in pocket it might do a great deal in widening King-street. Supposing Bridge-street to be widened the width of the bridge, any stream of traffio which was coming over the bridge in this direction to get down there they must cross the whole stream of traffic going the other way. Even if Bridge-street were widened he believed there would be a greater impediment in it from the great traffic, for that and the omnibuses would not be subserved by the road along the front of the house of the Duke of Buccleuch. The Metropolitan Board of Works have at this moment in hands greater works than this which they were carrying out. There was nothing more simple than the carrying out of this embankment ; it is a simple wharf wall, which is done everywhere; the great difficulty was where to find the money, and then to buy the pro perty. That wanted judgment and skill ; but the Metropolitan Board of Works had a staff and com mittees quite accustomed to these things. If the house chose to entrust it to the Metropolitan Board of Works the engineering work is literally nothing. The practical work of purchasing the property was not worse, if as bad, as that which they had had to 'do with, and had done successfully in Southwark. He was sorry it was not shown upon the plan. They dealt at once with the free holder, and they had a committee which sat once ,or twice a-week, which called and heard what every man had to say as to his trade. If they did not agree it was sent to a jury; but having heard his case, and his lawyer and surveyor, and being all men of business, they generally came to a fair com promise. He was decidedly opposed to any em bankment being continued in front of the Houses of Parliament. Some other evidence having been given in oppo sition to the bill, the committee adjourned. THE EXTRAORDINARY THREATENING. LETTER CASE IN CORK. The persons implicated in the extraordinary threatening letter case in Cork have been remanded. According to the depositions of Mr. Leahy, J.P., and Mr. Galgey, the following were the circum stances that led to the outrage :—Tlie farm occupied by the O'Connells at Lisheens, near Cork, was not inherited ; it was purchased by the elder John O'Connell in 1859 from Mr. R. Donovan. Shortly after coming into possession he commenced dealings with Messrs. Leahy and Sons, butter merchants. The nature of the dealings is not exactly stated, but it seems to have consisted in the advance of money to purchase cattle, to be repaid in butter produced on the farm. In November last the O'Connells were indebted to Mr. Leahy about £lOO. Seeing that they were not good farmers, having been previ3usly in a different occupation, and that the cows had been removed from 'the land, Mr. Leahy took proceedings to recover the debt, and an execution was issued on the 20th of March. It was then discovered that there was a prior exe cution for the rent, which was 40s. an acre. On the 10th of April the sheriff put up the farm for sale in the County Court, and the purchaser was Mr. Galgey. This gentleman went on the land to seek possession, but he was warned to be off as a trespasser, was told it was well for him he was not in Tipperary, and that he would get into trouble. On another occasion, when he went to propose a settlement, he was treated in a similar manner, and shots were fired in a plantation near him. Subse quently one of Mr. O'Connell's daughters went on her knees in the street and cursed Mr. Leahy so bitterly and violently that he had to call upon the market beadle to restrain her. One of the daugh- ters, Anna Maria, also cursed Mr. Galgey on the lands. She went on her knees, with a book in her hand, and prayed that the grass and the corn might not grow, that her curse might light upon him and his children. She cursed him "by the twelve tribes of Israel and by the twelve Apostles. She cursed him very loud—so loud that it could be heard at a considerable distance." _ • When the two gentlemen received the threaten ing letters they were struck with the similarity of their phraseology to those curses, and also with the fact that, though some of the letters were posted in Cork and others in Queenstown, they were all written in the same feigned hand, and seemed evi dently to have had the same origin. The letters were couched in the most horrifying terms. They were given in evidence by the gentlemen threatened and read. They are almost too blasphemous and atrocious to be printed, but it is impossible other wise to give an idea of the fiendish spirit of vengeance which they breathe, With the six O'Connells was associated a person named Jeremiah Forde, said to be skilled in drawing plans. Messrs. Leahy and Galgey swore that they believed the prisoners were the authors of the letters, and that they felt their lives to be in danger. The prisoners denied the charge. The male prisoners were re manded, the two women were let out on bail. The following are letters which were received by Mr. and Mrs. Leahy respectively : " Vile Wretch, —You have been the cause of much pain and uneasiness of mind to Mr. O'Connell, for whi you will suffer, as sure as God is in Heaven --as sure as Christ died for our sins—as sure as Ho will judge us on the last day. I and five or six more will watch and shoot you for being the cause of having tho land be sold—all for the sake of £9O. By Heavens 1 you will suffer for your doings. Here is a brief description of what will happen until te coroner will give his verdict :—[Here are depicted in pen and ink a coffin, with body in it, and pistols, &c., lying be side it.] Your coffin will be bought if you do not see that a settlement will be made between Mr. O'Connell and that infernal scamp Galgey. You are the d— scoundrel who cause d the work to go on. It rests with y ou now t o put a s t o p to it, Yes, if yo u value y our own happiness, you will see a s ettlement made, or, by the groat God who reigns over us, I will have your life, you devil on earth I" [II 'l•e i s also the f igu re of a coffin by way of signature.] " May. gi /qrs. Leahy,—This is a murderous letter, but not at all sufficient to repay the villain, your husband, for the wrong he has : 1 2 - me, You cannot but know that ho sold out the Lishcens estate, which belonged to John O'Connell, Esq., which was a very mean act to do—all for the sake of £9O, find he having the lease in heu of it until paid. No matter ; part of the money will pay his funeral service. Yes, by Jesus Christ and his blessed Mother and his eternal Father , I and seven or eight more will have his life. his heart's blood in a bottle will only satisfy our thirst. Oh, God of Heaven, if I had hold of him at this moment I would tear him limb from limb.

IRON ARMOUR. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—Your column of "Naval Intelligence" of this morning contains a summary account of the late encounter between the formidable new gun o Sir William Armstrong and a target constructed on my plan, which is scarcely consistent with my view of the facts, and which certainly exhibits a bias the opposite of my own. As lam one of those who have consistently for many years worked hard for the introduction of iron as the right material for the construction of the fleet of the future, I beg you will hear the other side before pronouncing a judgment, especially as I imagine the present to be a critital moment in our history, when the Admi- _ .. ralty may either lapse into old ways or go boldly forward with a new and true policy. I am, of course, biassed in favour of my own plan of attaching iron armour without making holes in it, and also of forming a ship's side entirely of iron, so as to be strong as well as to resist shot. But no amount of opinion or prejudice can shake this fact, proved at Shoeburyness on Friday, that the great gun, weighing twelve tons, did on that day fire two successive shots at my target without penetrating the armour. It is equally true that no other armour has boen able to do this. If you will _ next take this fact, that of all the other kinds of shot fired at this target no single one penetrated the armour, I think you will admit that the im pression conveyed by your informant is hardly the same as mine. The one fact made prominent by your informan, is that the target was penetrated in one place by a 150-pounder shot. Sir, it was penetrated, but only by a shot which everybody knew beforehand must go through; a weak place was selected, which we all , knew to be weak, and which we had proved to be weak. We were all of one mind before it was tried. A nar row plate was selected, the shot perforated the nar row plate, as it ought to do ; and this gives us no information except what we knew before. But it was mere child's play to the Armstrong gun, for plates of the same narrow dimensions had before been shattered even by shells filled with sand. To prove an axiom, therefore, was all that was gained by that shot. The main object of the experiment was, however, to discover what would resist shot best, not what would fail to resist it. Experiment has proved that iron plates Alf, inches thick and 3 feet wide, unitedk by my continuous rivetting to 2 inches of iron bac re ing, making up 71 inches of iron p sufficient on an iron ship to sto p the missile lfof after t great Armstrong gun fr om penetrating. rotection, ahe this discovery a at ery any one lee net e than 2 feet thank it of consequence wideonseq will uene not eto know that stop it he is welcome to that additional informa tion. Permit me flaw to express my own practical con clusions from Friday's experience : First, I think it incontrovertible that an iron s hip constructed entirely with iron armour on my method, using as a pattern those dimensions and that arrangement only which were successful in stopping the two Armstrong Friday, s a h m o t b s a o s n s ea , that my i s praseetcioenaldlyly,shoth- ipnrko firing before and behind, Friday, eins t c a h r a g n e g t e , d a i f n te s r bap th fir shape, both both utheahnitehses original Warrior I think thatW y arriortarget . Thirdly, my target is at present fit to receive more battering, the aWcaornrei conc l usi on, mentionedti o a n r g ,b e . Without destruction, than I Will mention one fact which is y your informant. He says that my target is heavier than the Warrior target. That is quite true ; he does not state this difference—that the whole of my target excepting the 44in. plating is part and parcel of the substance and strength of the ship, and forms no extraneous addition to its weight. The addition made by my system to the weight of the ship is, therefore, less than by the Warrior system. From these facts I leave you to draw your own conclusions.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, J. SCOTT RUSSELL 20, Great George-street, Westminster, S.W., May 24. Sermons in the United States seem to aim at a . more exciting ideal. In a recent sermon Parton DrOWIIIONV is said to have told his flock that he would have them " fight the Confederatcs fill hell froze and then tight them on the ice ;" while even the Rev. U. Wrard 13ceeher indulges in images needlessly irritant to the ner vous system, for example, " This is God's saw- are yard. He is sawing out timber ; and you , that timber. To - day he is ripping you with the saw. io• lane mor row ho is smoothing you with a p. The next day he is rubbing up the surface with some kind of a rasandp, bolts, He plies you with hammer, an d nails, and screws, and all sorts of instruments." We should not sleep under such preachers, but we should do nothing half so goad,— Spectator. THE SHOW OF DOGS. There is no mistake about an Englishman in hig fancies ; and, therefore, it is not to be wondered at that ho may have a fancy for the " faithful dog." Any ono who passed up Holborn yesterday would have been surprised at the crowds assembled before llelbern Repository, all eager to witness a dog show. To attempt to enter into the claims of the hundreds of animals displayed—pets, "toys," and other favourites—is out of the question, but it really and truly was a show of Cockayne. There were no foxhounds, there were no " bold bloodhounds," with only one solitary exception ; there were no " sensa tion" animals—the " nigger hound," for instance-- but there was a show of " gems" that was even sur prising to witness.
