The rates have ranged from 41 and 4 i Per cent ; the former quotation having only been a ccepted in exceptional instances During the last few days there has not been much animation in the foreign and colonial produce markets. The public sales of tea have closed with out any material alteration on the rates realised for m ost descriptions. Sugars, coffee, and rice, have has in fair dema n d, a t s t ea d y pr i ces ; w hil e t h ere nas been a better tone in the tallow market, and quotations, for both present and forward delivery, h ave shown an upward movement.

A CHILD SYSTEMATICALLY TAKEN TO THEATRES, &C., FOR THE PURPOSE OF PICKING POCKETS.—Caroline Latter, a well-dressed little girl, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with loitering in the entrance of St. James's Hall for the purpose of picking pockets. Sergeant Edwin Coathupe, of the detective force, said— About half-past four yesterday afternoon I observed the prisoner pushing her way into St. James's Hall as the audience were leaving at the Piccadilly entrance. I saw her place herself by the side of a lady, and then put her left hand into the lady's right hand dress pocket. As the lady had not lost anything on my speaking to her, she de clined to attend, although she said she had her purse and a handkerchief in her pocket at the time. The prisoner gave her address 96, Gray's-inn-lane, and said she was living with a female there. This I found to be true. I also ascer tained that the prisoner had no parents. My reason for bringing her here is, that she has been sent away from nearly every theatre and place of amusement in London, generally being found in the best dressed parts of the places, to which sho was sometimes taken and left either by an elderly man or woman. Mr. Tyrwhitt—How old is the girl ? Sergeant Coathupe—She gave her age as 11. The prisoner—l am 14. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l am afraid you are in very bad hands. You have been seen hanging about the crowds at theatres, and from your appearance are one likely to succeed in robbing persons without being suspected. I shall remand you to see what can he done with you. THAMES. DARING ROI3BEILY.—Peter Sullivan and John English, two Irish labourers, were brought before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing an ingot of tin, weighing 581b5., and valued at £3, from the ship Clotilde, in the London Dock. Tho prisoners had been at work for a stevedore on board the Clotilde, and there were ingots of tin in the vessel, which the prisoners interfered with. They were directed by another man, named Ryan, not to meddle with the tin. At a late hour the prisoners and five other men all came to the gate of the "Shadwell basin" together, and, in defiance of the night watchman stationed there, all attempted to rush out together, without the customary rubbing down, to which all dock labourers are subjected on leaving the place. Sullivan, who had something concealed in a coat under his arm, alone got out of the dock. The other men were detained. Sullivan was pursued by a Custom house officer, a Thames police constable, and others, but he made his escape. He dropped from under his arm in his retreat something bulky. It turned out to be an ingot of tin which was exactly similar to other ingots of the same metal on board the Clotilde. The ingot was wrapped up in a coat which two witnesses proved to belong to English. Ho was wearing it while at work in the ship. Mr. Paget committed the prisoner's for trial. CHARGE AND COUNTER CHARGE.--Samuel King, an Irish labourer, who had received a serious wound on the head, and Catherine King, his wife, were charged with assaulting Enos Parrott, a police-constable, No. 56 H. The policeman stated that he saw the prisoners in a door-way in Leman-street, Whitechapel, last night. Sus pecting their intentions were dishonest he questioned them, on which the male prisoner struck him on the cheek. He took him into custody. A struggle took place and both fell, the prisoner under, and he received a wound on his head. The woman then " pitched into him," pulled his hair and whiskers and scratched him. He procured assistance, and the prisoners were secured. The prisoner Samuel King, in his defence, said the police man shoved him about without pretence or provocation, and that when he asked him what he meant by such tyran nical conduct ho drew his staff and beat him with it. The wound on his head was inficted by the policeman with his staff. The complainant repeated that the wound was inflicted by the prisoner falling on the stones. A mate of a ship in the London Docks saw the whole occurrence, and signed Le charge sheet, but ho was unable to attend. Mr. Paget said the case was of too much importance to the public to be hastily decided. He remanded the pri soners, and granted a summons for the attendance of the mate. WESTMINSTER. FREQUENT ROBBERIES IN THE COMMITTEE -ROOMS OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. — In consequence of repeated robberies in the committee-rooms of the House of Com mons, plain clothes constables are placed there for the protection of the public., During the last fortnight the offender now charged has been seen about the room; and on such occasions property has been missed. A man of shabby genteel appearance, wearing a mous tache, and giving the name of Edward James, was charged with stealing a silk umbrella. Mr. Arnold—You have refused your address ; do you still decline to give it ? Prisoner (who is a parson of very good address)—l have no fixed address. Mr. Arnold—What is your unfixed address ? I suppose you are living somewhere. Prisoner-1 sleep occasionally at the Sussex Chambers, in Fetter-lane. I last slept at the City Chambers. Wm. Frances, plain clothes officer, 26 A—Between three and four o'clock yesterday afternoon I visited the committee-rooms of the House of Commons, and going into No. 11, saw the prisoner, and, suspecting something wrong, watched•him. I had not seen him come in. I saw him take the silk umbrella now produced from near a cor ner. I had just before noticed the umbrella—it was with some coats, and was the only one there. Prisoner walked out into Palace-yard. I followed him, and said, " You have stolen an umbrella." He replied, " You have made some mistake," but I assured him I had not, and took him into custody. Mr. Arnold—Prisoner, do you wish to ask tho witness any questions ? Prisoner—There is no occasion—it is in substance correct. Mr. T. Cox, of Bath, Somersot, said the umbrella was his He was attending the committee to give evideace. Prisoner—l did this through distress. Mr. Arnold directed the case to be copied up for sum mary decision, but said he should at present remand the accused for inquiries. MARKETS—This Day. HAY MARKETS.

THE MURDER AT HACKNEY.—Yesterday after noon, Mr. Humphreys, coroner, concluded his investigation into the circumstances attending the murder of Henry Joseph Smith, aged 10 years, who died from a wound in his throat, inflicted by his aunt. The evidence taken brought to light only one fresh fact, which was that two days befor the poor boy met his death he told a play fellow that his aunt had tried to cut his throat, but he got away from her. The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against Elizabeth Carmichael, the aunt, and the coroner issued his warrant for her conveyance to Newgate, to await her trial, as soon as she should be sufficiently re covered to admit of her removal from the German Hospi tal, where she now lies, suffering from a self-inflicted wound in the throat. The Great Ji in the City. MANSION-HOTISE.—(THIS DAY.) The prisoners David Roberts, Henry Geoffrey, Thomas Casley, Thomas Brewerton, James Hurley, Wm. Brown, alias Scotty, Martha Geoffrey, Anne Casley and Louisa Brewerton, were again placed at the bar before the Lord Mayor. Mrs. Hurley was not:present to-day, having, since the last examination, given birth to a child. Mrs. Mears said she resided at 7, Great Cambridge-street, Hackney-road. The prisoner Scotty, who gave the name of Price, occupied apartments in her house in December last. He said he got his living by attending salss. He used generally to stop at home during the day, but he went out at nights. The prisoner Geoffrey used to call and give his name as Parker, and Wilkinson also called upon him. Geoffrey eventually came to reside in her house, but he left a week before last Christmas. She had often heard a noise like filing in Price's room, but she had never had the curiosity to look through the keyhole to see what was doing. Shortly before last Christmas ho gave her £lOO to mind for him, but she returned it to him the next day. She had seen the woman who Eyed with Price as his wife in the possession of a small gold hunting watch. The watch produced by Inspector Bren nan is very like it. The necklet produced and the lockets she had seen in the possession of the woman she knew as Mrs. Price. She had shown them to her in her (witness's) own apartments. Price recommended Geoffrey to her as a lodger, saying he was the same trade as himself. She used afterwards to hear a great deal of filing going on in his room. She, however, on ono occasion looked through a window which commanded a view into the room, and saw him filing at something screwed on to the table. Mr. Lewis—When they quited your apartments did you see if they had taken any precaution to prevent any person looking through the keyhole ? Witness—Yes ; they had put some paper over the lock of the door. The Lord Mayor asked whether any of the prisoners wished to put questions to the witness. Scotty—l should like to ask her if she recollected the night I gave her the money to mind. Witness—Yes ; and I told you I would not take charge of it till you had counted it. Charles Coombe said he knew Scotty by the name of Price. He had known him about five years, and during that time ho always dressed very respectably. Ho knew the woman who used to live with Price as his wife. She brought the bag (produced) to me to mind, and in a few days Scotty called, and he asked him if he had come for his bag. He said he had not, but told me to continue to take care of it. Witness afterwards gave the bag to In-. spector Brennan. Scotty—Are you positive the bag produced is the one left in . your charge ? Witness—Yes. George Albert Palmer said he kept the Pitt's Head publichouse in Old-street, St. Luke's. Ho know Scotty by the name of Price for some time while he resided at Hollo way. He then dressed as a labouring man. For five years he lost sight of him altogether, and the next time he saw him ho called at his house in Old -street. He asked him to take charge of £5O in gold and a savings' bank-book. He asked him why ho had not put it into the bank with the rest of his money, he said he intended to do so the next morning. On these conditions he took charge of the money. He never came for the money. He supposed he must have been apprehended in the interim. He saw the case in the newspapers, and he went to the prison to see whether his suspicions were correct. It turned out as he suspected. He had returned £ll, according to the prisoner's direction, and when he visited the prisoner in Newgate he (witness) gave £1 to a man outside the prison, by Price's direction, as he said they did not give him sufficient to eat. Mr. Lewis—What was the man's name ? Witness—l can't remember. Mr. Lewis—Wasn't it Morris ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Lewis--That's not a very difficult name to remem ber. The police, you see, they could remember it, as they heard the prisoner tell you what to do, although you did not know they were standing by your side. Witness—l know now that was the case. Mr. Lewis—You did not take the book and money to the police? • Witness—No, but I gave it to them before they asked !or it. Mr. Lewis—But the police came to your house. Witness—Yes, but I did not wait for them to ask for the property. I gave it to them aid told them all the circum- stances as to how I became possessed of it. Thomas Smith, assistant to Mr. Upsall, pawnbroker, Whitechapel-road, produced a ring pledged by Mrs. Hurley. Police-constable Ranger produced the duplicate given to last witness by Smith. Superintendent Durkin said beforo the prisoners were removed from Bow-street Hurley said he wished to make a communication to Mr. Lewis. He was taken to a private room, and was told that whatever he said must be purely voluntary. No promise of any sort was held out to him. He then made a statement in Mr. Lewis's presence, which he signed. The statement was then put in. Some other witnesses were then examined to prove the identity of the several witnesses. Mr. Beard hoped the females would be admitted to bail. One of them, Mrs. Brewerton, was in a dying state from consumption. He was instructed that she could give large and responsible bail. Mr. Lewis—Why, Mrs. Brewerton, four or five months ago, kept an oyster stall in the streets, and that is the per son who, it is said, can get large and responsible bail. Mrs. Brewerton—l kept an oyster-stall, did I. I should just like to be serving you out there just now. The Lord Mayor—l shall not admit any to bail. The prisoners were then remanded for a week.

Apri: 6. The Turkish Bath—lts Advantages and Dangers. TO THE EDITOR. OF THE SUN. SlR,—Having delayed a reasonable time, I do not see that the points urged against the indiscriminate use of the Turkish Bath have been disproved—silence, in fact, must give a kind of consent to the fact that they aro not de void of danger. The indiscriminate zeal of persons in love with the Turkish bath, puts one in mind of that sovereign bath—the climax of Shakspere's sonnets— where Cupid, once upon a time, falls asleep, and places on one side his brand, of which a maid of Diana's taking advantage, dipped the red hot iron in a fountain— " Which borrowed from this holy fire of love, A dateless lively heat, still to endure— And grow a sovran Bath, which right men prove Against strange maladies a sovereign cure." Like the preternatural philosophy, however, of rope tying legerdemain, one must not be misled by all the fine things said in favour of such baths ; we must separate poetry from prose. I think I knew what Dr. Goolden would say in favour of the bath before I wrote to The Sim. I am ready to agree I with Sir J. Fife that the "classic bath may dry harness or I clean horses, or kiln-dry damaged corn." I only say it is dangerous in some patients. The poet, we are told, found that even this bath was deceitful, made so perfect by the art of Diana— Sick withal the help of the bath-desired And hither hied—a sad distempered guest But found no curo ; the bath for my help lies. And so we must often trust rather to nature than factitious virtues in things of artificial life. We are told that a vast number of persons who have taken the bath without offer ing to it any complaint, and, therefore, discrimination of cases is unnecessary, and the bath must be more and more perfect, according as it becomes all but universal; but this is the argument, that because a vast number of persons take patent or quack pills, without offering complaint, or be because an infinite number take chloroform or mercury, or smoke tobacco or drink to excess, and offer no complaint, therefore drink to excess, and quack medicines and chloro form are all free from danger. The literature of the thermos or Roman baths, of their mosaics, paintings, and decorations, especially of those of Titus and Constantine, is very seductive. But we must not be misled by the exquisite " Art" of these grand old times in a matter of modern science, or common practice of medicine or surgery. Tho Romans were indebted to the Greeks for their knowledge of the "hot air bath," but any one familiar with the works of Hippocrates must perceive that it was only in default of better remedies; herbs, cataplasms, warm fomen tations, thermal baths, and finally hot-air baths, were ex perimented with. Far be it from us to say that simple remedies are not often the best, but when our young people are now-a-days dosed to their eyes with strong mineral medicines, quack remedies of all kinds, their constitutions destroyed by tubercle or scrofula, excess of tobacco and excess of stimulants, any or every form of charlatanism most advertised, it is plain the conditions are not alike, and the advice of Hippocrates no longer holds true ; as well say one-legged dancers are normal phenomena, and to supersede all other dancers of the old Roger de Coverley type. It is probable the ancients never used these high tem peratures that are now in fashion. It was after their gym nastic feats, not before, that the bath was used, merely as a deterant. lam very much a disbeliever in the ordinary canon of the Turkish bath chamber, that "the system re lieves itself through the skin of every kind of impurity, and digestion is promoted thereby." I am satisfied the Turkish bath may hurt such an affliction as dropsy after scarlatina, but just as certainly aggravate or kill in other cases. Our young men at Eton and such schools, misled by the philosopy of what are called sporting journals, practice 30 hours a week at cricket. This, with a pull of five or six miles in a boat at a training pace, with Turkish baths to set them all right, almost invariably sets them all wrong. It is all very well, and they make no complaint while tak ing the bath, but diseased heart and diseased kidneys, rheumatism, &c., with mercury and scrofula, make sad havoc of their constitution. As Roman history is just now a fashion, we shall hear of these therma3 and the granite of Egypt, the green marbles of Numidia, the curious mosaics, the ruins of the medical bath of Titus Caracalla, or the Auto Mines, or the often greater details of the baths of Pompeii. We have endless pictures of these, and in subsequent dark ages pictures of how legs, too, were cut off with redhot knives, and the array of strong men present to hold the unhappy patient while his limbs were sawed and burnt. But it would be about as logical to follow one as the other. We have now no burning or tortures, and a far better sur gery. Simpson, the discoverer of chloroform, has called a modern spirit from the vasty deep of physiological lore the greatest discovery of this century, and so we set little store on the old archaeologic ruins of therm found at Chester, at Worcester, at Whitcomb, and half a dozen other places in Great Britain, but this no more reconciles to strigils and tharmas than (in these days of homo3opathic high dilutions and the wisdom they have taught us) the thumbscrews in the Tower are to the archeology of their age. In a word, wo must not mistake fine writing as to these ancient baths by Sir Bulwer Lytton or Mr. Urquhart for the rigid fact that they require much discrimination in their use. Sir C. Blagden has a good deal to answer for, in having taught the modern world that they may go into an oven where muffins are baked. He (Sir Charles) entered heated rooms at 200 deg. F., and a sad Frenchman, not to be beaten, went into a chamber in which eggs would fry, water boil, and mutton chops be grilled ; a thermometer on the wall stood at 212 deg. F. We know what mischief a tempera ture of half this amount causes in India —coup de soleil, and cases of similar mischief, and deaths actually in the Turkish bath aro not wanting even in Great Britain and Ireland. [Where ? Name !] It would be a great mistake, therefore, to think, as some in judicious writers would have it, that they may be used indiscriminately ; that for all strange maladies they are a sovereign cure (as true and wonderful as the legerdemain of the Davenport Brothers !) ; and that as they are taken in vast numbers, without complaint or questions asked, that this is equivalent to saying they are free from danger. No doubt archteology and modern fashion aro against any one who would set the public right on the subject ; and our young men at Eton and elsewhere will go on to the end of the chapter, making an article of faith of boating matches and "grinders" in consequence of such idleness ; but still the calm physician will not shut his eyes to facts that determine all this faulty training and fashion, as in the highest degree reprehensible, and strigils and thumb screws must be classed together.—l am, &c. CHARLES KIDD, M.D. Sackville-street, W., March 13. [Dr. Kidd appears fo us, from the nature of the lose of the very first sentence in the foregoing letter, to be in ignorance of the fact that his state ments (in a former communication) as to the danger arising from the use of The Turkish Bath, have not remained, until now, disproved ! Those statements of his, in point of fact, having been then, on the con trary, distinctly and catagorically disproved by irre fragable statistics, only a day or two afterwards by the manager of The Harnmam in St. James's. What ever " silence:" there has been since then, has been Dr. Kidd's, as the unthinking assailant of a system of baths about which, apparently, he knows just absolutely little or nothing.--ED.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at be usual hour. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales was in the - louse during the early part of the evening. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Rosendale Union Gas Bill was read a third time and passed. BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY (IRELAND) ACT AMENDMENT BILL. Earl ST. GERMANS, iu moving that this bill should be referred to a select committee, said that it had been drawn up by the Crown officers of Ireland, had received the sanc tion of the Lord Chancellor, and had passed the other house. The object of the bill was to assimilate the law in regard to railway and other companies with that of Eng land, and the greatest anxiety was felt in Ireland for the passing of the measure. The Marquis of CLANRICAR DE having adverted to the defective state of the law in Ireland in regard to railway companies, said that the bill was not to be rejected merely because it had a retrospective operation, because that would refer to different acts of legislation by which different acts of indemnity had been passed. The Tact was that this bill proposed to relieve shareholders from liabilities which they had never intended to incur. An error of a very serious character had occurred in their previous legislation in regard to this matter in Ireland, and that error they were bound to rectify. Lord DONOUGHMORE objected to ex parte de facto legislation, but had no objection to a measure assimilating the law between England and Ireland, provided the rights of existing creditors of railways were respected. The bill was then referred to a select committee. BRITISH KAFFRARIA BILL. This bill went through committee. ELECTION PETITION ACTS AMENDMENT BILL. This bill aslo went through committee. THE CASE OF MARY RYAN. The Marquis of WESTMEATH called the attention of the house to the papers presented in the case of Mary Ryan. The noble lord said that this was a case which required the fullest inquiry. A young woman was brought to the pier of Dover in a straight waistcoat, and she was ultimately placed in a lunatic asylum on the continent. He contended that the capture and confinement of the young person was most unjustifiable, for it appeared that she had been taken away on the authorfty of a Roman Catholic clergyman, who designated himself the Vicar general, and two nuns, and placed in confinement, where she was unable to communicate with any person who was in a position to assist her or obtain her release. Such an act was entirely at variance with English law and should not be tolerated, at least without a stringent inquiry. He referred to the letters by the Protestant Alliance on this subject, and read copious extracts from those documents. He strongly condemned the conduct of the Government in not publishing these letters. 1 LEFT SPEAKING. I HOUSE OF COMMONS—Mrs EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bill was road a third time :—Chichester and Midhurst Railway. The following bills were read a second time :—Utiliza tion of Sewage and Land Reclamation (Ireland). LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE, AND GREAT EASTERN JUNCTION RAILWAY BILL. On the motien for the second reading of this bill, Lord GALWEY moved the rejection of the bill, because it had been but very slightly altered in order to suit the legislation of last session. The alterations in the bill had been made to suit the convenience of certain landowners, and he was sure if those alterations were considered by a committee they would most inevitably lead to the rejection of the bill. He did not take up the position he then occu pied on behalf of the landowners concerned, but he would say at once that he did it on the part of the Great Northern Railway. He thought that after two companies had had a fair stand up fight, which had caused the expenditure of a great deal of money, it was unfair and unjust to allow the company that had been defeated to again apply to Parliament to sanction that which was almost identically the same scheme which was rejected in 1864. Mr. CHEETHAM supported the bill, and said it was not at all similar to the bill brought forward last session. If the measure was sanctioned by the Legislature it would prove of immense advantage in cheapening the charge for the conveyance of coal, and this crcumstance alone ought to be sufficient to secure the passing of the bill. All that the promoters of this bill desired was that their case should be heard. He appealed to the house not to allow the bill to be defeated by a side wind. Mr. MITFORD said he had gone through all the plans in the Private Bill-office, and he felt bound to say that the bill was practically the same as was before them last year under the title of the Great Eastern and Northern Junc tion Railway Bill. Mr. CHILDERS said the people of Yorkshire had peti tioned in favour of this bill, and he did think that, as they only asked that the convenience offered by the projected railway might be fairly considered, it would be unfair to re ject such a reasonable demand. Mr. EGERTON opposed the bill. There were three rail way systems at present in existence, which he thought was quite sufficient to meet the requirements of Lancashire and Yorkshire. Mr. BRIGHT thought the house was asked to reject the bill on very insufficient grounds. (Hear, hear.) It was said the bill was before Parli amen t l as t session, but was that any reason for its rejection this year. He felt it was too bud at this time of day to stand up for protection to the Great Northern Railway, because if that system had been adopted years ago we should have had but very few long Iv it to lines of railway. If the present bill was ag be reed il t w o a i y. t would e occupy five years in the construction of i t l b receiveho p d the th a h t o consideration uso t" d en raut it a e llo . Mr. B. STANHOPE opposed the bill, .becituse he consi wouldnottowbi rejectc which theit wash l consi dered the gradients were exceedingly objectionable. The bill would interfere with the navigation of the river Trent, and would entirely destroy a great extent of private pro perty, and on those grounds he hoped it would be rejected. Mr. AYRTON should support the second reading of the bill, especially as it was said the making of the railway would tend to cheapen the cost of coal in the metropolis, Mr. M. GIBSON said of course the matter of the inter ference with the navigation of the Trent would be care fully considered and reported on, and the committee would be made acquainted with the result of the inquiry. Under all the circumstances of the case, he should give his vote in favour of the second reading of the bill. Mr. J. R. ORMSBY-GORE should vote for the rejection of the bill. Lord BURY, as a resident in the Eastern Counties, should support the second reading of the bill, because it s would tend to c h eapen the supply of coal. Col. JARVIS thought the details - of this bill ought to be considered in committee, and not discussed in that house, and although there were so many gentlemen present he did not believe there were eight or nine amongst them that really understood what they were talking about. (Laughter.) The house then divided, when there appeared— For the second reading l2l Against it Majority —4l The bill was consequently lost. SOUTH AMERICAN BEEF. Mr. J. E'WART asked whether any order had been issued for the indiscriminate seizure of South American beef when exposed for sale to the public either in London or Liverpool? Sir G. GREY said no order had been issued, or seizure made of the description alluded to by the hon. member. He saw by the public newspapers that an application had been made to the Lord Mayor by the sanitary inspectors to condemn a quantity of certain meat, not because it was jerked beef, but because it was unfit for human food. He believed that certain country magistrates had recommended the trial of jerked beef as an article of food in prisons. THE POOR LAW COMMISSION. Mr. O'REILLY asked whether it was the intention of the Goverment to fulfil the promise understood to be made by Mr. Secretary Cardwell in 1860, that au Irishman and a Roman Catholic should be appointed to the first vacancy amongst the Irish Poor-law Commissioners. Sir R. PEEL said he was sorry he could not give the hon. gentleman any positive information on the subject. CAPTAIN COLE'S CUPOLA. Mr. DAMER asked the Secretary to the Admiralty if Captain Cole's cupola had been tested by firing at it with any heavier guns than those used in the experiments, namely, 40-pounder Armstrong, on board the T rusty ; and if no; whether it was the intention of the Admiralty to make any further experiment before proceeding with the further construction of vessels on the same system ? Lord C. PAGET said no experiments had been made on the cupola with steel 3001 b. shots. Some experiments had been made with 100 and 68-pounder Armstrong guns, and the result had been that the cupola had been indented, but - - the working of it had not been injured.

BANKRUPTS, That portion of the Gazette containing the bankrupt had not arrived when we went to press. A 3-inch or 12-pounder gun, designed by Major Palliser, was last week subjected to a lengthened endurance test at the proof butt in Woolwich Arse nal. The proof charge consisted of 1 lb. of powder (the serv-icechargeofth e 12- pounder field gun) and increasing cylinders. The cylinders fired in the last 20 rounds weighed each about 961 b., and projected some distance beyond the muzzle of the gun. The gun weighs *cwt., and was made by Messrs. Riches and Watts, millwrights, of Norwich. It consists of a casing of cast-iron round a wrought-iron coiled tube. The difficulties attending this mode of construction would. now seem to have been entirely overcome by a course of careful experiments which have been carried out from time to time for eight or ten years. Thus the causes of kinsoundness in castings of this kind have been ascertained and obviated. Should this mode of construction succeed equally well in lar ge cannon it will not only prove very economical, but, in the event of a sudden demand for guns, it will admit of their being turned out with great rapidity. Major Pa ii pounder gun,cours of repair in the which was lately Royal gun factories at Woolwich, and will, it is e expected, be brought forward to be tested. tested se u r p s 7 to 8% 11 0 d,is in 100 100 2 100 flOO 100 Col 100 100 100 100 100 1 0 100 100 90 89 1081 IC Of
