GERMANY. Second Chamber of Prussia was engaged on the 16th in discussing whether or not they should receive a petition praying for the revision of the Con ttitution. , The Chamber determined by a majority of 147 to 121 to pass to the order of the day. Great Fears are entertained of 3 coup d'etut abolishing the Constitution. Oa this subject the Kreuss Zeitung says:-- . _ We hear it asserted that for the restoration of the Monarchy nothing is necessary but the abolition of the Chambers. It is said the King must again govern alone. Certainly, we wish it also; but as the King cannot reign alone everywhere, the question is another, namely, with whom and through whom is he to govern—with the Chambers and officials or by the officials alone? We are not able, unfortunately, to write in eulogy of the Prussian official class and its political conduct in general, and feel no particular desire to surrender at discretion to the domination of the Bureaucracy. Were the Cham bers much worse than they are, we could not give them up for this reason, that they form a counter-balance to the all-powerful Bureaucracy; and if the Chambers passed yet worse laws than they have done, we must yet declare that every law has come out of the Chamber much Letter than it went in, and we should have been much worse off had the laws, as drawn up by the officials, re ceived the Royal sanction without the interpo sition of the Legislature. Faulty as is the composi tion of the Cb ambers, yet we must recognise them at this moment as the best possible representation of the country, and we have not yet seen any practical plan proposed how they are to be improved. To throw away what sr e have before we get anything better, is not a policy to be recommended, espec i al l y as the Crown, at this: time, should cherish and spare nothing so much as those institutions through which it is brought into connexion with th e people." The same journal also contains the following para graph : " The police yesterday prepared us the surprise of an official search in our printing-office, to discover, as we heard afterwards, some papers of the so-called Guten burg Society, supposed to be in the possession of one of our c om p os i tors. Till now we h a d a lways believed that our printing-office, and all it contained did not be long' to our compositors, but to us, and that we, there fore, had a right before such a search was undertaken to be apprized of it by the production of a written order. Unhappily experience is not now for the first time our teacher, and, therefore, nothing remains for us but to express our doubts as to the legality of the measure in the proper quarter." SWITZERLAND. The Bale Gazette says:— " The Bund announces that a refugee in Switzerland had sought to revolutionise Alsace by orders of Mazzini, and it is pretended that letters of a compromising cha racter had been found among his papers. We will ob serve that the person in question is not a refugee, and that he did not reside in Switzerland. He resided in the Duchy of Baden, near Bale. He was employed in a commercial house at Bale, and no ono was aware that he was at all connected with politics. His papers were seiz9d at Bale, and at his residence. He was arrested, expelled, and has since gone to America. One single refugee was compromised with him , and he also has been expelledcby the Federal Counc i l." By a law of the canton of Ticino all the pupils of the seminaries and public schools of the State are drilled and instructed in the military exercise. The authorities of the canton having lately attempted to enforce this law at the seminary of Polleggio, which belongs to the diocese of Milan, the rector of the semi • nary, Don Cesare Bertoglio, refused to comply, upon which he was put under arrest. This called forth a severe remonstrance on the part of the Archbishop of Milan, who ordered the seminary to be closed, and sent a deputation to the President and Council of the canton to demand the release of the rector. The Gazetta Ticinese of the Bth now publishes a letter from the Archbishop, from which we learn that Don Cesare Bertoglio has been released, in compliance with the request of the deputation, but that the Council has refused to yield on the point of teaching the manual exercise in the seminary of Polleggio, in consequence of which the Archbishop still continues to keep the seminary closed.

EXTRAORDINARY MURDER. On Wednesday, the sth of November last, a man named John Anderson, foreman to Me. Hut chinson, proprietor of the chemical works at Widness, was murdered on the way f rom the works to his own house in Dob-lane. Imme diately a ft erwar d s an application was m a d e at the Liverpool police-office for an officer to institute ingyaries, with a view to the discovery of the mr.rderer. With this object John Connolly, police.. vinstable No. 460, was sent over to the works, and 'with the view of eliciting information he disguised himself as a workman, and made application for em ployment. He remained there as a labourer for six weeks, during which time he gained such information as led to the di scovery of a person supposed to be guilty, and others implicated in the murder. A communication was then made to Mr. Allen, the bead constable of the district, and through his exertions three men were captured. Their names are John Shay, Thomas Nolan, and Darby Nolan, his father. The prisoners were brought before the ma gistrates at Prescot, and committed for trial at the next assizes. The Liverpool police-officer was known by the disguised name of "Jack Callaghan," and the COWES.—We hear that the celebrated builder, Mr. friends of the accused were ra th er surprised wh€2 Joseph White, has received an order from the Emperor of Russia to build him another yacht of large dimensions. This they saw him in court, and giving evidence nearly fill up his building yard, as.there are no lea than l against them.

The wife of the murdered man has since died, and her daughter has been removed to Rainhill Lunatic Asylum—Liver pool Mail. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current, Jan. 20.) SUGAR.—To-day importers of West India Sugar were less desirous to press sales, and obtained rates equal to those of Friday, both for grocery and refining qualities. There was a fair demand, and the purchases amounted to 540 hhds, &c., including at auction 189 hhds 9 tierces 9 barrels Barbadoes, which went off quietly, and not above one-half sold at previous terms, fine yellow realiz ing 38s 6d to 395; good mid to good 34s 6d to 365; ord to mid 31s to 34s per cwt. REFINED.—To-day the home trade demand for Re fined Sugar was more active, and the market has a firm appearance. Brown lumps cannot be obtained under 43s 6d per cwt. Crushed Sugar for shipping continues to attract little notice ; there is, however, no further decline. MAIIIIITIES. — This afternoon there was a better de mand for Mauritius Sugar, previous low terms were, however, taken; at auction 3,600 bags were sold, mid to good yellow realised 30s to 33s 6d, common 28s 6d to 293 6d, and good to fine brown 26s 6d to 28s per cwt.

Penang is rather cheaper, but 2,400 bags all sold, fine brown at 23s to 245; and ord to fine yellow 24s to 30s per cwt. REFINED.—Today the private operations in Foreign Sager were of little moment for shipping or home con sumption; there are, however, few sellers under last week's valuations.

Privately purchases to a fair extent have been made during the last few days; Trinidad grey at from 28s to 335, red 33s to 403, and Grenada 27s to 3155. For Foreign the market remains inactive; Bahia and Para can be obtained at 24s to 265, and Guayaquil at 31s. Stock is not equal to the pre vious season. TEA.—There is a plentiful supply of Congou, and prices have slightly declined; a good home trade demand, however, has been experienced, yet there is a reluctance on the part of exporters to operate.

Demerara is rather cheaper, but a good business has been concluded at 2s to 2s 3d for 32 to 40 per cent over proof; there is a desire on the part of holders to sell at these terms. For Jamaica rather lower rates are acceded to, yet exporters or home dealers are little inclined to transact business, and sup ply is on the increase. The rates taken for fine and superior qualities 34 to 38 over proof are 3s to 4s 2d, good 32 to 35 over 2s 7d to 2s 10d, mid 2s 4d to 2s 6d, and low 27 to 30 over 2s 2d to 2s 3d.

(Sittings , before Mr. Baron MARTIN and a Common Jury.) TOY V. LAMENAUDE. This was an action of d e bt, t o recover th e sum o f 95/. for a number o f brass letters used to be fi x ed on glass, supplied during the last year to the defendant, who car ried on the business of selling such letters. Mr. Lush appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Hurnfrey,and Mr. Pigott for the defendant. It appeared that the defendant ordered of plaintiff about 35,355 of these letters, in anticipation of their having a large sale at the Great Exhibition building and elsewhere during the Exhibition year. Ile After wards, however, informed the plaintiff that he did not want so many, but the! plaintiff said that as he had gone to great expe nse in having tools made for the ma nufacture of the letters the defendant must take them, but if it would be any accommodation to the defendant, he would not deliver them for a month. Defendant did not assent to this, but plaintiff did send the letters from Birmingham, where he carried on his business, to de fendant, and he paid for the carriage. He did not re turn the goods, but after the action had been brought ho required the plaintiff to take them back again. Mr. HUMFREY contended that these facts did not enable the plaintiff to recover as for goods sold and delivered. The defendant had repudiated the sending of the letters, and had not accepted them. The plaintiff ought to have sued him specially for not accepting. Mr. Lusu asked his Lordship to amend by inserting a count for goods bargained and sold. After some discussion it was arranged that the plain tiff should be nonsuited, with leave to move to enter a verdict for the amount claimed, if the Court should be of opinion that the Learned Judge ought to have allowed the proposed amendment, and that the plaintiff would have been entitled to recover under it or without it. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Jan. 20. (Before Mr. Commissioner Ev ANs.) IN RE JOUN LOUIS BA.TTYE BUCKLAND.-JUDGMENT. His HONOUR sa id t hi s was an application by the bank ruptvie.t folro, a6ceratnifidcaatels,owthhicaht be was guilty of reckless was opposed on the gro un d that the case c ame w i t hi n t h e 201st section, 13 and 14 trading. In s upport o f th e first objection it was admitted by the bankrupt that he had lost within a year before his bankruptcy more than 2001 in contracts for the purchase of Peruvian Bonds, and also more than 2001. in the purchase of railway shares, and that such contracts were not to bo performed within one week after the contract, and that the stock and shares were actually transferred or delivered in pursuance of such contract. It was contended on behalf of the bank rupt, that the Peruvian Bonds being foreign stock were not within the word stock in the clause referred to, and many cases were cited, proving that under the 7 George 11. it was not held to include foreign stock. I have looked at those cases, and they establish that point. I had considerable doubt as to whether the 201st section could be considered similar to the 7 George 11., sec tion 8, but I find the opinion of the majority of the Commissioners is in favour of such construction, and as this clause is highly penal I think I ought to de cide in favour of the bankrupt on this point. I under stand that shares are not considered as stock on the Stock Exchange, and consequently they do not come within the 201st section. But although I decide that the case does not come within the 201st section, I am of opinion that the bankrupt has been guilty of reckless trading, that be has traded to the extent of thousands when he had no capital to meet losses. To trade when a man's creditors must necessarily bear the loss and he keep the gains, is most unjust. The fre quency of such conduct is no excuse, but proves the ne cessity of visiting it with severity when proved. I therefore shall suspend the bankrupt's certificate for one year, then to be of the second class. The following eases were cited by Mr. Lawrence for the bankr u pt : — " Wells v Porter," Scott, 141; " Oakley v. Rigby," id., 194; " Elsoworth v. Cole," 2 Meeson and Welsby; " Robson v.

Yesterday Sara h Savil le , alias Low, appar e ntly a re spectable young woman, was b rought before Alderman Wilson, charged with attempti ng to commit suicide by throwing herself off Blaekfriars-b ' , l nage. It appeared from the eviden ce th at about hal f- pas t three on Monday the prisoner mounted the parapet of Blackfriars-bridge, and was in the act of throwing her self from it when a young man, named Danes, rushed forward and seized her just in time to p reven t her com mitting the crime. He then gave her in custody. The prisoner pleaded that she was intoxicated at the time, and knew not what she was doing. Her husband was at sea. She hoped the Alderman would forgive her. Alderman WILSON said ho should have her kept in custody until her sister, or some other person, came for ward to be bail for her good behaviour in future. The worthy Alderman ordered the sum oil ss. to be given to Danes for his prompt assistance. MA RLB°„R 0 UGH-S TREE T. EXTRAORDINARY C HARLIE OF CONSPIRACY. --Henry Adams, a pug ili s t, was brought up for further examina tion, charged with having conspired, with other persons not in custody, to defraud James Jackson, landlord of the King's Head, King-street, Park-lane, of 341. 102., under very s i ng ular circumst ances. The case had the effect of attracting to the court a great concourse of that class of men known as connected with the lower grades of the .4 Fancy." The circumstances detailed at the former examination called forth much merriment from the way in which the complainant, a Yorkshireraan, described the plan by which he was taken in, and which is as follows: — The prisoner called son the prosecutor, who was an acquaintance, and told him he had obtained the patron age of a gentleman who had lately come into between 3,0001. and 4,0001., and who wished to take some les sons in the art of self - defence. A s t h e gent l em an would pay liberally for accommodation, and order a bottle of wine at each lesson, it might be worth the prosecutor's while to find them a room. Prosecutor agreed to do so, and the prisoner and the gentleman came, and had a sparring bout. At the second or third visit the gentleman brought two friends ; and, while the sparring went on, a challenge was given to one of the friends to fight with the gloves the prisoner, 10/. to 301. (The friend asked prosecutor to put down the money f or him. The prosec utor did so, and the match was made. A ll parties adjourned to a public-house in Cumb erland-market where there was a larger room. The fight commenced, and before it was concluded prosecutor Was induced to put down 25/. 10s. more, making iu all 34/. 10s. for the friend who was glove fighting with the prisoner. The money was taken up by the other friend. The prose c utor seeing that the com batants were only shamming and fouling, demanded the return of his money, on the plea that the whole affair was a robbery. H e Was threatened with chastisement by some of the party, but he would not give up his demand, and after following the party into a public-house in Lamb's Conduit-street, and seeing them leave him one after the other, he prevented the prisoner from following the same road by givi ng him into custody. Set up The defe nce was, that the prosecutor betted on his own accou n t , and that he lost his money fairly. Mr. Lewis, for the prosecution, applied for a remand. —Remanded till Saturday. CHARGE op B ERGLA.RY.—John Biggs, Mi c h ae l F oy, and Joseph Massey, were brought up for final examina tion, charged with having committed a burglary in Marshall-street, a n d sto l en a quantity of watches, two 5/. bank-notes, and other property. John Metcalfe, the prosecutor, a watchmaker, No. 29, Marshall-street, Golden -square, proved that his house was robbed on Sunday fortnight of eight watches, one gold case, two gold lockets and other jewellery, two 5/. notes, and 8/. 10s. in gold. Entrance had been ef fected by cutting through a panel in the shop-door. The property was safe at twelve the previous night. After the apprehension of the prisoners prosecutor went to the House of Detention and saw Biggs, his brother-in law. Biggs admitted the robbery, and said the pro perty had been sold to a person in Parker-street for 201 PARTNERSHIPS DISSOLVED. John Munr o stated, that after the robbery Foy told J. and J.

Foy said nothing but money was found upon him, so they could not do anything, except. perhaps, give him six months on suspicion. Witness afterwards saw Massey, and Massey told him to tell Mrs. Foy to sell the watches, in order to obtain funds with which to fee counsel. Police -constable Swanson, G 62, apprehended Foy, who denied all knowledge of the robbery. Upwards of 5/. were found upon him. On tho same night appre hended Massey, who had a new suit on him. Witness had previously seen all the prisoners together in War dour-street, dressed very shahbily. Police-constable Moore, It 341, said he apprehended the prisoner Biggs at Greenwich. Biggs denied the robbery, and said he had been at Maidstone fourteen weeks, and had only arrived the night before. Biggs said his name was Watkins. Biggs declined to make any defence. Massey said Munro came to him and asked him to say he gave Mrs. Foy the gold watch. Foy said the elder Munro came to him and told him if he did not tell about the watch and other things he would do what he could for him. Munro promised to got him a counsel.—The prisoners were fully committed. WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 21, 1852. WESDMINSTER. An adjourned case, in which Charles Somers, pro pritor of the " Pensioners" public-house, Queen's-road East, Chelsea, had been summoned by the London Gas Light Company, was yesterday determined by Mr. Arnold. The prosecution was to recover 1.5/. 15s. 6d., alleged to be due by the defendant Lo the company for gas con sumed. The short facts abstracted from the volumnious evidence adduced are these:—Defendant pleaded, in answer to the summons—and by the powers given by a recent Act of Parliament gave evidence to the same effect—that in the demand made there was a surcharge of 71. 6s. for the quarter ending Lady-day last, and stated in support of this assertio❑ that a woman left him the paper specifying the amount of gas he had consumed by meter in the latter end of April last, and in May a man called again to collect the amount due. He had delivered him the order paper, and placed the amount claimed upon the counter, being at the time busied in serving several customers; and, upon turning round, discovered that he had gone, and that no meter-ticket or receipt was left. He heard no more of the company until July, when a demand was made upon him for 3/. 14s. for the second quarter in the year, and no application for the second payment of the 71. Cs. was made until he had complained of something extremely wrong in his meter, of the neglect of the in spector respecting it, and had stated to the collector that he had lost his receipt for the 71. 6s. He further added that a witness who had seen him pay the money was keeping out of the way, because ho owed him a large sum of money, but ho produced a second, who however could not prove having seen him pay the money, but merely that as he entered the defendant's house he met a person having the appearance of a collector of the company, with a book of their description in his hand, and was told by defendant that he had paid the collector. On behalf of the Gas Company, it was alleged, and supported by evidence, that no demand had been made for the Lady-day quarter until after the Midsummer one was due, and that it had never been received by the col lector of the district. It was declared that it was impossible it could have been, from the reason that the clerk, in making up the Lady-day accounts had, by some inadvertency, omitted to enter in his book the amount to be claimed until after the Mid summer quarter, when the omission was discovered and the demand made upon defendant—not separately, as had been stated, but for both at the same time, when defendant said ho had paid the Lady-day account, but lost the receipt. Defendant hod then called in the wit ness who had been put in the box, and who had then de clared that he saw the money paid. Defendant had also declared that the man who left the meter ticket was the person to whom he paid the money, and the lamplighter, who was in the habit of leaving the meter tickets or ac counts, was called, amongst other witnesses, to prove that he had never received it. After a great deal of evidence and cross• examination by the defendant, mainly in support of the above state ments, Mr. ARNOLD observed that there was not the slightest doubt that the money had never been paid to any officer of the company. By a series of negative proofs they had established that fact beyond contradiction. Whether it had ever been paid to anybody else was another ques tion. There was nothing to rely upon excepting de fendant's own statement, partially confirmed by the wit ness he had called, who was himself contradicted by one of the witnesses for the company. He (the worthy magistrate) confessed that he could not conceal a strong impression on his mind that the money had not been paid at all, and he should have ordered the defendant to be indicted for perjury but for the degree of confirmation, slight as it was, afforded by his witness's statement. The company, however, were at liberty to indict him should they be so advised. After adverting at some length to the various points of the evidence in support of his judg ment, Mr. Arnold ordered defendant to pay the whole amount claimed within 24 hours. THE ENGINEERS' STRIKE. Last night a meeting of the Executive Council of the Amalgamated Society of Engineers, &c., took place at the offices, Little Alie•street, Whitechapel, to receive reports from the different branches, and determine upon any steps which it might be necessary to take conse quent upon the present state of affairs in the society. Mr. ALLAN, the general secretary, stated for the infor mation of the council, that although the time originally appointed for the returns of votes upon the co-operative grant of 10,0001. from the general fund of the society bad that day expired, returns from only 72 branches out of 120 had arrived at the office; he was, however, glad to state that, with the exception of those from three small branches, the returns received were in favour of the pro position of the council; in fact, the votes in 69 out of the 72 districts referred to were returned as almost unani mous upon the point. No active steps, it was understood, could be taken with regard to the establishment of the co-operative shop until the receipt of the returns from the other branches, which are expected to arrive iu a few days. Mr. ALLAN also stated that he had received informa tion from Liverpool that the firm of Fawcett and Co. had given notice of their intention to discharge the society men in their employ at the end of the present wee k; and further, that Mr. M'Gregor, of the Vulcan Works, had issued a document, pledging his workmen to renounce all connexion with the Amalgamated So ciety, and that them who refused to sign it would be dis charged on Saturday. The result of these notices, we understand, will be to throw out of employment many additional hands, A donation of 10/. from Mr. Coningham, a gentleman of fortune, residing at Brighton, accompanied by the following letter, was handed in by the secretary : " 20, Sussex-square, Brighton, Jan. 20. " Sir,—l am convinced that you will have the moral support of the public, whatever may be said to the con trary, in a movement to limit the hours of toil for the operative, whose bodily strength is his only patrimony. "An adjustment of the system of piecework is a more complicated question; but if the employers as well as the employed be sincere in their desire to arrive at an equitable solution, then a fair adjustment may b• made. " When the masters' in their statement' say—' We claim, and are resolved to assert, the right of every British subject to do what we like with our own,' they appear to have forgotten that property or capital has its duties as well as its rights; and that the rights of the poor and the rights of the rich are reciprocal privileges; the former being the condition on which the latter are enjoyed. " As a proof of my sympathy for your cause, I beg to forward 101. to the fund of the Amalgated Society of Working Engineers, &c., and to state that, if a co-opera tive association bo formed, I shall be prepared to take some shares in it. " I am, Sir, yours obediently, "wit.CONINGIUM. " To Mr. Allan, Secretary of the Amalgamated Society, &c." Reports were received from various branches, show ing the members to be firm to their previous determina tion to uphold the movement, and the receipt of a large amount of contributions was announced. It was also determined that a public meeting in con nection with the movement should next week be con vened in the largest available building in the metro polis. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.—In addition to the men con nected with the Amalgamated Society in the employ ment of Messrs. Fawcett and Preston, the eminent en gineers of this town, who last week received notice to quit their work, those of Messrs. Forrester and Co., Vauxhall Foundry, were waited upon, on Saturday, by Mr. M`Gregor, the manager, requiring them to sign a memorial pledging themselves to abstain from giving any countenance or aid to the parties on strike is other districts. The men in Liverpool, it must be borne in mind, have taken no active part in this dispute, the evils complained of elsewhere not being practised in this dis trict. In accordance with Messrs. Forrester's demand, the following memorial has been resolved upon, and a meeting of the society was hold last night at their club room for the deputation who had waited upon Messrs. Forrester to communicate the result. " TO W. L, M`GREGOR, ESQ. " Sir,—We the members of the Amalgamated Society of Engineers, in your employ, beg a state that we have no intention or wish of altering the present rules and regulations between ourselves and our employers, nor is it the intention or wish of the Amalgamated Society, of which we are members, to ask for any alteration in the present rules which govern the shops of the Liverpool district, owing to the peculiar situation of this port re specting West Indian and shipping orders. " We are, Sir, &c., " MEMBERS OF THE AMALGA MATED SOCIETY." It was announced to the meeting last night that Messrs. Forrester were not satisfied with the memorial, but required the men to leave the society altogether. This demand was held, however, to be unreasonable, as compelling them to give up benefits :'t.vf cases of want of work, sickness, old age, or d ea th, f or wh i ch many of them had been paying during the greater part of their lives; and unless the employers re-co:asider their deter mination—which, from the good feeling existing, it is hoped they will do—the men must leave work at the end of this week. A deputation was appointed to present a similar me morial to Messrs. Fawcett and Co. t. )-day or to-morrow. Sixteen men in Messrs. Forrester', s, and eighteen in Messrs. Fawcett's employ, are deeply interested, with their families, in the result. Of about sixty workmen in the employ of Messrs. Ransomer and May, who are menabi as of the Amalga ted Society, thirty still remain sit work.—lpswich Express. --- An innkeeper at Yarmouth In i 3 been committed for trial on a charge of cheating at car as in his own house.

We recently published some extracts from Colonel Chesney's " Observations on the Past and Present State of the Army," which must have forcibly impressed our readers with a sense of the culpable negligence which has allowed other nations, especially the French, to dis cipline and equip a description of force to which we have at present nothing to oppose. We shall not here enter into any technical description of the dif ferent kinds of muskets which have lately been adopted on the continent ; but referring those who desire a scientific knowledge of the subject to Colonel Chesney's work, we shall offer a brief popular account of the nature and probable consequences of the new mode of armament referred to. Tne object of a musket or rifle is, of course, to throw a ball to the greatest possible distance —or, in other words, to pro duce the greatest possible propellent power by means of the explosive force of a given quantity of powder. The difficulties to be overcome are three—the imperfect ignition of the powder, the resistance of the air, and windage, or loss of explosive power. Now, in all these respects, the common English musket is in the highest degree faulty. In the first place the powder is ignited from behind, so that the ball leaves the barrel before it has received the full force of the explosion ; in the next place, a round bullet slot only meets with very great resistance from the air, but is also liable to a mis placement of the centre of gravity ; and lastly, it is im possible, with balls of the ordinary construction, to avoid a great loss of power, in the shape of windage, inasmuch as it is hardly practicable to make them fit the musket barrel very closely. Let us, then, see how these defects have been remedied by the French and Prussian inventions. The French rifle (M. Minifs) is loaded, as ours are, at the muzzle. The ball resembles in shape an acorn, round the cup end of which are cut two deep grooves. The reader must further suppose that the stalk of the acorn is extracted, and that, in the hollow so left, is inserted the end of a small iron thimble of somewhat larger diameter than the hollow itself. A pi ece o f greased paper is wrapped round the thimble and the grooved end of the ball, and the whole is rammed down as easily as the charge of a common musket. When the gun is fired, there is, of course, an indefinitely short period during which the force of the explosion is not sufficient to move the bell. During this instant the thimble is driven into the hollow; but the introduc tion of this foreign body causes the ball to expand in such a manner as to " force the lead into the grooves of the bore so completely that the whole base of the bullet is exposed to the action of the powder without allowing the slightest windage, or any diminution of the ' explosive force of the powder, by which so much of the impetus is lost in common rifles." Tho Prussian Ziindnadelgewehr, or needle musket, is so compli cated an instrument that it is not very easy to explain its construction. The distinctive peculiarities of this weapon are the following:—lt loads at the breech; the ball is "conical at the point, cylindrical in the centre, and round at the larger end: it becomes rifled in pass ing through the barrel, and is propelled with much greater force than the ordinary rifle ball, on account of its having a suitable centre of gravity, and also on account of the more perfect ignition of the powder, which takes place in front"—the latter being effected by means of a needle, which is darted, by the action of the trigger, through the powder, and into some explosive compelled forming the head of the cartridge. The range of these weapons is perfectly terrific. In a series of experiments detailed by Colonel Chesney, the French musket, at a distance of 655 yards put 25 balls out of 100 into a target two yards square—whilst the common musket did not reach it, and a field piece struck it only six times out of 100. At a distance of 218 yards the new musket struck the same target 100 times in succession—the common musket only hit it 41 times out of 100. But the most extraordinary result attained was at a range of 1,093 yards. At this dis tance a field-piece generally diverged six or eight yards from its object, but an experienced marks man, with the new weapon, hit a moderate•sized target three times out of four. We pass over Colonel Chesney's remarks upon certain minor conse quences of the introduction of this musket; but the practical importance of the invention, and the arrangements which have been made by the French Government to give it full efficiency, are subjects of the very gravest interest. Such of our readers as have been in Paris will remember certain little square built men, dressed in dark green frocks and trowsers, and armed with a strange looking sabre bayonet—singularly thick at the back, and double. edged for the first four or five inches of its length— which fitted on to the end of a short and thick rifle, provided with a numerous array of sights. These men are the chasseurs, or carabineers. There are in the French army about 14,000 of them, and every tenth man in the line regiments is able, in case of need, to do duty in the same capacity. A more for midable body of men it is hardly possible to imagine. They aro systematically trained to the practice of the whole art of sharpshooting. Instead of being subjected to that martinet drilling which seems to exhaust the re sources of our military officers, they are accustomed to judge of distances by the eye —to shoot at a mark at a distance of 600 metres—to keep up on foot with ca valry at a trot—and to practise all sorts of gymnastic ex ercises. During the siege of Rome their fire was so deadly that every gunner who showed himself at his post was instantly shot down, and to the officers of Garibaldi, dressed in scarlet, it was certain death to visit the ramparts. Those results were obtained at a distance of about one thousand yards— a distance at which the report of a firm-arm is almost inaudible, and the smoke almost invisible. We can only glance at the effects which this invention is expected to produce in military tactics. It appears, from Colonel Chesney's book, to be the opinion of those who are best qualified to judge on the subject, that, with this weapon, the sharpshooter will become not only a most impor tant element in an army, but more especially a highly formidable antagonist to artillery and cavalry. The range of the new musket is certainly inferior to that of heavy guns loaded with case shot, or to that of rockets, but it is superior to that of ordinary field-pieces ; and there seems reason for believing that a field-battery would, if unsupported by a force of this description, be exposed to a very serious risk of being put entirely hors de combat before it could be brought into service. We have probably said enough to show the formidable nature of the enemy with whom we may some day he called upon to contend; but there is another side to the question—a side which Englishmen, as timid in the absence as they are brave in the presence of danger, aro constitutionally indisposed to dwell upon, It is this —the invention in question in creases the powers of defence in a still greater pro portion than it does those of attack. Men standing behind loop-holed fortifications with rifles which would kill at 1,000 yards distance, could not be very safely attacked, and such a force would put no small ob• stacle in the way ef an enemy wishing to laud troops and cannon on our coast. General Jackson's raw militia, with their rifles and cotton-bag ramparts, were more than a match for the troops who had stormed Ba dajoe and Ciudad Rodrigo, and who had defeated Mar mont and Soult. Whatever accusations have been brought against Englishmen, whether by friends or by foes, no one has ever denied that we have the raw material of soldiers in the richest abundance. Physical strength and courage are not by any means rare qua lities in this country; and it will be obvious that the chief qualities wanted for the particular service which this new invention will bring into prominence, are not so much those of a disciplined soldier as of a brave, active, and intelligent sportsman—viz., sound lungs, quick eyes, and strong limbs. Moreover, sharpshooters act not in masses, but in small bodies. Why, then, should we not drill, all over the country, small volun teer companies of riflemen? We have not a doubt that any number of persons who might be required would be found willing to learn the use of a gun and the use of their limbs. Thu hereditary maxim of " three French men to one Englishman" may -be considerably beyond the truth, but we aro very sure that, if a sufficient cause for fighting and an efficient method of fighting can be pointed out to our countrymen, they need not dread any force that any other nation can bring against them. One thing at least is clear —something must be done to give t. our army the advantage of this new inventier, what ever ha ever may be its value. To lag behind in availingour selves of' improvements of this kind is suicidal folly.— Chronicle. SEABORNE MAILS.

Up to that time, the people of the North were mere heathens, who acknow lodged a religion which chiefly excited them to conflict° and to deeds of arms. They believed that those heroct alone who fell in the field would go to Odin, the god ° L the brave, or enter into Valhalla, the abode of t h l blessed. H e r e th ey would pass their time in jof. °'°, delight. During the day it was said the fallen gul l contended in a f orest b e f ore Valhallah, until they le beneath each others' blows, but towards evening they came to life again and rode back again to Valhalla. Wearied with the fight, they refreshed themselves here t h e y ss a ted spl o e n nd t id he ba s n w q in u e et; ss a r n i d ri i i n er, co w m h m os o e n fle w s Whileyouth ut,hmeeregtrip, i h th co th ns e ta g n o t d ly e thhaeseNstoortfhcsroimugehs.t f o E r r w Tri h ik is e e fa o a m r f l e i d e . i s s t playing was stamped as the trheenecwhsoicitessetltb,eneorradnidd mead. they valour o drink a s regarded plentifully s o: the highest virtue, so cowardice native of the of use the sword, which ling the Northman practised , to when he had grown to manhood ho never allowed If there were no troubles at bolo° expeditions, or made descents teu ri t he adopted the predatory life of a Viking, and eager') his coursg, ° ,' undertook o u n s da t ef f i ro n trod i o t foreign countries, for the purpose of winning. both k s h iwm scabbard . a the rltk e glory and booty.
