Very moderate supplies of English wheat wore on offer in most of the country markets held on Saturday. The demand, however, for most kinds was in a sluggish state, and, in some instances, prices wore the turn in favour cf buyers. The barley trade was heavy, Lnd malt was much neglected. Oats, beans, peas, and flour wore a dull inquizy. Our advices from New York state that both wheat and flour were on the advance, with very limited supplies ca sale. Iu the continental markets, the business doing in grain on English account has been trifling. . . NEWMARKET RACES. (THIS DAY.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) HANDICAP SWEEPSTAKES.

Fearless Coastwise, the receipts of English wheat put up to this morning's market were very moderate, and the supply at hand by land carriage was malt. The attendance of millers was not very numerous ; yet, owing to the limited show of samples, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled steady, but by no means brisk, at au ad vance in the quitations obtained on Monday last of from is to 2s per quarter at that amount of improvement, a good clearance of the stands was effected some time prior to the close of business.

EXAMINATION OF THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE. The Committee re -assembled this morning at the usual hour. His Grace the Duke of Newcastle and Mr. Sid ney Herbert entered the room shortly before the pro ceedings commenced. The Duke of Newcastle was first called, and was examined ty the chairman. He stated :—I was Minister for War under the Ad ministration of Lord Aberdeen. I was also Secretary for the Colonies. My duties consist.td in the general direction of the war, and I am at a loss to Pay what did not come within the scope of my superintendence. There was no change made after the separation of the offices of Secretary for War and Secretary fur the Colonies. The duties of the Commander-in-Chief, as relating to the Mi nister for War, had reference more especially to the dis cipline of the army. As Secretary for War, it was my duty to give directions as to the movements of the troops. By Lord Seymour—With reference to the movements of the cavalry I communicated with the Commander-in- Chief, and et the artillery with the Master-General of the Ordnance. I also took measures for the supply of provi sions, &c. The appointment of commanding-officers was suggested to her Majesty by the Commander-in- Chief.

The Duke of Newcastle—Of course I consider myself responsible co a certain extent under the circumstances. Lord Seymour—As Secretary for War, had you the whole scheme of providing for the efficiency of the Com missariat suppiies—the stoles, and the land transport corps ? Were these matters brought under your notice as Secretary for War ? The Duke of Newcastle—No. As regards the Com missariat, I a .certained from the officer 4 of that de partment what was required, and looked to them to make the necessary arrangements for its supply ; and I looked in the same way to the Master• General of the Ordnance for the supply of stores. At the Hanle time, I do not mean to say that I divested myself of all care in the matter ; except that so f,r as the Commissariat was concerned, that being an indepen dent department, I did not interfere with that as with the other. I, however, in some cases, ordered certain amounts of supplies to he doubled. There was a fair supply of foreign calves in to-day's market, but that of beasts and sheep was rather limited for the time of year. From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up this morning were on the in crease, compared with Monday last, and in excellent con dition. Nearly the whole of the kinds were above average quality. The attendance of buyers was by no means ex tensive, and the demand for most kinds of beasts was somewhat inactive, at prices barely equal to those ob tained on Monday last. The top figure for Scots was 58 per Blbs. The arrivals of beasts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, atnounte . l to 2,400 Scots and short horns ; from other p trts of England, 400 of various kinds, and from Scotland 400 horned and polled Scots. Notwithstanding that the show of sheep was tolerably extensive, and that most kinds came to hand in good con dition, the mutton trade was brisk, at fully last Monday's currency. In some instances the best Downs, out of the wool, realised 4s 8.1 per 81bs. His grace the❑ went into stone expllnations relative to the outbreak of uar, and proceeded to state that at his suggestion 10,000 men vi ere sent in the first in stance to Malta, so that eventually the whole force might be lan led in Turkey with as little delay as possible. Gallipoli was chosen as the first destina tion of the troops. The Chairman- When was it first determined to send a force into Turkey; We had a good inquiry for lambs, the supply of which was moderate, at from 5s 4d to Is per Blbs.

It was always deter mined to send a force to Turkey, but the first' order issued for athaiecing 10,000 men thither - was givin, I think, ab ut tie 21st of March last }ear. Examination resumed—Gallipoli was chosen on the recominendati .n of Sir J. Burgoyne, who bad been pre viously scut out to exatiiine the c untry, and he selected it on strategetical ground , , ai the first place that ought to be occupied. Provision was made that supplies of fresh meat and Lreal should be supplied to the troops at Ga lip li. Forage, he thought, ought to have been procured there, but, to prevent any apprehensions on three grounds, supplies of bread and forage were sent out twin home. Ido not think any forage was landed at Gallipoli, as it was sent in sailing vessels. I think it must have arrived too late. The Chairman—When was the removsl of the expedi tion to Varna first decided upon ? The Duke of Newcastle—The order to embark the troops for Varna from Scutari was given on the 22d of April, I believe.

His 'first step was to communicate with the Commissary-General Filder, who was then bound to make the necessary arrangement , . With regard to the sanitary arrangements, no official orders were issued with respect to Varna ; but instructions were given in the first instance to Colonel Dickson and his staff to make the necessary inquiries at every place where the expedition praceeded,'as to malaria or any other prevalent cause of disease which might exist. Tire ChaTruan—What .vas the object of the advance to Varna ? Duke of Newcastle—The advance to Varna was made for the protection of Silistria ; and when the siege was raised, anotrier expedition was determined upon. Tile Chairman—Did you receive an intimation of any kind to the effect that cholera was likely to break out at Vat ? The Duke of Newcastle—No, I did not ; and I do not think any one, even a medical man, could have formed an opinion on the subject. Varna was chosen at the especial recommendation of Omer Pacha (from whose letters his grace here read some extracts).

The following address to the Emperor of the French was presented by the Literary Association of the Friends of Poland : "Sire—Amidst the universal voice of congratulation which has hailed the auspicious visit of your Imperial Majesty and your august Consort to our beloved Sove reign, we should not have sought to address these words of welcome to your Imperial Majesty if we had not believed that, in the principles which we have sought to maintain and laboured to disseminate, there resides the power of rendering perpetual that strict alliance and cordial amity which happily subsist between the two great Western Powers. " Your Imperial Majesty has already declared, in words which mark a new epoch of European history, ' that the time of conquests is irrevocably past, and that it is not by extending the limits of Ks territory that a nation can henceforth become honoured and powerful ; it is by placing itself at the head of generous ideas, by making everywhere to prevail the empire of right and justice.' " Such are the words which your Imperial Majesty has inscribed on the united standards of France and England. They are words of, hope for the oppressed, and •f repose for the world. It is not, sire, our design to urge their immediate application to a nation which, as the statasmc-n of all countries and of ail poli - ical creeds have affirmed, has been the victim of injustice the most fisisi ant and perfidy the most foul. We await, however, with confidence the hour when Europe, awakening to the fearful retribution by which such crimes, when un redressed, are inevitably visited, will seek to avert the punishment by repairing Vie wrong which she has per petrated or permitted. To save from impending ruin a nation which, though separated by its faith from the European family, yet possesses noble qua ities that command our admiration and sympathy, is a righteous work that hallows the alliance by which it has been ef fected ; but to raise from the dust a people professing the same religion with ourselves, once the generous champions of Western civilisation, and still possessing all chivalrous traditions which lie at 45 basis, this would be an achievement that would bind together the powers that shall unite in its accomplishment by a link that centuries, would have no power to sever. This would be not only to inaugurate but to establish the em pire of right and justice on a firm and enduring basis. —We haue the honour to be, sire, with profound respect, your Imperial Majesty's most humble and most obedient servants, the Council of the Literary Association of the Friends of Poland. On behalf of the Council, " BREADALBANE, Vice-President. " W. LLOYD BIRKBECK, Hon. Sec. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent visited the Duchesq of Gloucester on Satur.lay, at Gloucester House. The Princess de Castelcicala, née Thadea de Zeltner, died suddenly, on the 6th inst. The death of the Prin cess has caused universal regret at Naples, on account of her amiable character. Lord and Lady Charles Wellesley, and their youthful family, are at Conholt Park, near Andover, where they have resided since they quitted Brighton. We regret to learn the eyesight of his lordship is cocsidered irre trievq,bly lost. Lnrd Stanley of Al:lerley and family have arrived in Dover-street from Italy. The Earl and Countess of Chesterfield and Lady Evelyn Stanhope have arrived in t iwn from Bretby Park. Lord Stanhope is suffer ng much from the accident he met with on Friday while escorting the Emperor and Empress of the French to the City. The Duko of Wellington's mansion, Apsley House, which has been undergoing re-embellishment and repair, at immense coat, the edifice having been also partly re furnished in splendid style, is now nearly complete in its improvements, and it is expected it will be occupied by the noble Master of the Horse and the duchess during the present season. RUSSIA.--Letters from St, Petersburg of the 12th inst, state that the entire country round Kovno had be come inundated, and that all the goods there were under water—a circumstance which will' add to the losses in curred from the heavy charges for the overland trans mission of produce. Mr. C. Mathews (says the Weekly Chronicle) has ac cepted an engagement as actor and stage-manager with Mr. Smith at Drury-lane. Thither also go Mr. Robert Roxby, as acting-manager ; Mr. Beverley, as scenic artist ; and Mrs. Frank Matthews, Miss Oliver, and Miss Martindale. Mr. Frank Matthews is engaged with Mr. Kean at the Princess's. Lord Stanhope is going on as favourably as could be expected after his serious accident on Thursday las, in St. Paul's Churchyard while on duty with his regiment. Soon after the accident a telegraphie message was for war , ed to the Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, at Brethy-park, and on Friday the noble earl and countess and Lady Evelyn Stanhope came to town. Dr.Fergnson, the surgeon of the regiment, and the medical gentlemen called in direct , y after the accident, are in attendance on h:s lordship, and sanguine hopes are entertained of his early recovery. The fracture was ably reduced before his lordship's removal to the Regent's-park Barracks. The Queen, the Duke of Cambridge, and a host of the nobility sent or made inquiries yesterday after the con dition of the young nobleman. CORK ELECTION.---Mr. Deasy, Queen's counsel, has ftrths seat in Cork county, lately occupied by Mr. Burke Roche, now BAron rermoy. °mem' ni,tructions nave been received at Southlrnp ton to fit up the General Screw Company's steamer In - liana, for conveying cavalry to the Crimea.

The Emperor and Empress of the French honoured Mr. C. F. Hancock, of Bruton -street (the jeweller), with an interview on Saturday morning, previous to their departure, and expressed to hint their satisfaction at tho mauler in which their commands had been executed. The Emperor has also been gra,._iiously phased to honour Mr. Hancock with a further extensive order. Colonel Cadogan, who bas been appointed British Commissioner to the Sardinian head-quarters in the East, passed through Turin, on Sunday, on his way to Constantinople. M. Timers has sent to his printers the manuscript of the four last volumes of his great work, L'llistoire da Conszdat et de l' Two other vessels ,have just been launched at Brest and Cherbourg, that, at the former port, being a lar4e steam-transport, the Marne, of 1,200 tons, and that at the latter, the floating battery the Devastation. The Opinione of Turin says :—" We understand that the Chamber of Deputies which had adjourned to the 23d April, will be further relieved from business to the Ist May, on account of the great length of time which the Senate is devoting to the Convent Suppression Bill." The Parma Gazette states that as Colonel Count Anvisi was, on the evening of the 14th, passing along one of the streets of that city a man fired a musket at him, but fortunately without doing him any injury. The man got clear off. - The Lord Mayor of Dublin, and a deputation from the corpora'ion, have had the honour of forwarding, through the French ambassador, an address from that body to his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of the French. The deputation was assured that it would prove highly gratifying to the Emperor, and that his Majesty would return an early reply. The Hon. Artillery Company, of which his Royal Highness the Prince Albert is Captain-General and Colonel, did duty at the Crystal Palace, under the com mand of Major Barnard, on Friday last, when the Em peror and Empress of the French, the Queen, and Prince Albert honoured the Exhibition with a visit. The regi ment mustered nearly 300 strong, and presented a most soldier-like appearance. Eighty men under Captain Robinson (Lieutenant Lewis carrying the Queen's colours) were told off as the Guard of Honour. The steadiness of the regiment, and the precision with which the ground was taken up under the direction of the Adjutant, Captain. W. H. Snell, were time more notice. able as the corps is composed entirely of volunteers. The men were under arms ten hours, having mustered at half-past eight in the morning, and been dismissed at half pa-t six p.m. ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS. —The following gen tlemen ha ring undergone the necessary examinations for the diploma, were admitted members of the college at the meeting of the Court of Examiners on the 20th instant ; Messrs.

The, performers were the entire company of the Paris Theatre de la Gaits, who, on the occasion - of the visit of the French Emperor and. Empress have come to England to hold a congres drantatique, in Other worclg,. to present this piece which has had a run of two kundred consecu tive nights in Paris, to the English public. The per=' formers all appeared in theii original characters ; and those who love excellent acting in the class to which the piece belongs, should pay a visit to Drury-lane Theatre before the close of this series of performances. The work is in the nature of a melodrama, as regards form ; and it professes to be a patriotic production, in the French sense of the word, as it is understood in France at present, but it has in reality a political object, and that object is to strike the roots of the system called Bonapartism deep in the hearts of the French people. Ills in five acts and nine tableaux, or rather scenes, such tableaux counting for each dramatic division. The story is of : courae foutaid upon " the course of true love," which, in this case, as in so many others since the days of 'Mr. Sliakspere, does not "run smooth." The collateral events are the patriotic portions of the piece. A certain Maurice (M. Gouget), an officer in the dissolved Imperial Guard, is in love with the fair Lotiise -(Mdlle. Maria Clarisse), the daughter cf a blind lady, Madame Blanchard (Madame Lambquin), and, south to say; the lucky Maurice is equally loved in return. It so happens, however, that the Cm-sacks then hold. Paris ; and with that di-regard for their neighbours' rights which distinguishes this pa triotic people, from the Czar to the serf, the Russian general in command of the district where the lowered well falls in love with the fair Louise and determines she shall marry him. To escape the tyranny of the Russian general the disconsolate Maurice enters into a series of political conspiracies, havinglar objects the ejection of the Cossacks from France and the restoration of - the elder 13onapartssi. and in the course of these conspiracies, in which he is ably aided by an ex-sergeant of the Imperial guard, Dureveau (M. Paulin Menier), and by an es-corporal of the 47th of the line, Jean Panel (M.Alexandre), a variety of narrow escapes occur, and the piece.beoomes the vehicle for much Bonapartist enthusiasm. The Count de Min zaroff, the Russian general (M. Clement Just), bo7ever, succeeds in " netting" all the conspirators, a proposof an echaufouree, which takes place in a suburban pleaSure garden in Paris; and while the ex-sergeant and es-corporal are condemned to death, he spares the life of his Maurice, as the price of the fair Lonise'aband. Maurice, however, happens to have attracted the affections also, albeit unconsciously,_ of a female serf, Olga (ldlle. Augusta), attached to the Russian general in an equivo cal capacity, and the poor girt, though at first treacherous to her rival, the fair Louise, ultimately becomes a con vert to virtue, through the magnanimity of the maiden ; and not alone induces but coriapelsMaurice to save her from her marriage with Mansard': Muckof the amusements,: the mimic scene is created by the bye-play between an enormous Cossack soldier and the buffoons of the piece, the ex.serjeant and ex-corporal alluded to, who, by the ray are, in their respective parts, absolutely inimitable. All ends happily, however; the Cossacks are expelled Paris, and the lovers are united in sacred bonds, &c. It would be unjust to a most meritorious actress, Mdlle. Leontine, not to mention that her efforts in the agree able and indispensable part of a vivandiere, or file du regiment, added greatly to the succebs which undoubt edly attended this, the first representation of Les. Cos saques, in England ; and that without any exception the minor performers, of which there are an immense number, were all " well up" in their re.p ective i mpersonat i ons. The life, the motion, and the energy o f th e F rench stage. was, in fact, transferred bodily to the boards of Drury lane on this occasion ; and those who desire to witness French acting, fresh and perfect, in this class of performances, should not fail to visit that theatre within the next week. At the conclusion of the echauffouree, already alluded to, which were, in fact, a melee between the quasi Parisian populace and the Cossacks, the entire company came forward and sang, in two or three several keys, "God Save the Queen," winding up with "Par taut pour la Syrie." The closing scene of the drama was one of those grand scenic displays which the French stage alone can produce in perfection, and it was greatly and deservedly applauded. _ The house w a as very well attended, and, as before stated, the performance was perfectly successful. THE QUARTERLY DIVIDE,NDS. Among the Parliamentary papers printed on Saturday was the following letter, addressed by the Governors of the Bank to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on the 14th ult., protesting ag ainst the practice, introduced by the Government for th first time a year ago, of providing for the quarterly dividends while they at e in course of payment, instead of supplying the Bank with the full amount before the period at whioh they fall due :-- • "Bank of England, March 14. " Sir,—On the 12th of October last we felt it to be our: duty to call the attention of her Majesty's Government to the departure fromantecedentpractice in piying the pub; lie dividends, which, first introduced by the -Treasury. in Apri% 1854, had just then been repeated_; and. we ex pressed our reliance upon the intervention of her Majesty's Government to protect the Bank from any injurious conse-. quences which might result, proceedings in which we could not acquiesce. " The course against which we then remonstrated, of paying to the Bank part only.of the dividends when due, and supplying from time to time such further portions as were expected to be asked for by the public, was, .how ever, again resorted to in January last; .' • , ' "At your request we beg_ now formajly to place this subject before you as the Finance Minister of the -Crown, ' and to satanic for your con-hieratic/I, liith espegial refer ence to the approaching April dividends. " That the loan acts, under which the whole of the ex isting debt was contracted, require that the entire annui ties be paid on the days appointed to•tlie Chief-cashier of the Dank, and that the said cashier shall, without delay, pay the same accordingly. "In support of the views which we are note expressing on behalf of the Court of Directors, we beg to refer yew to the copy of the case submitted to the standing counsel of the Bank and Mr. Roundell Palmer, together with their opinion thereon. -o. ' We venture to hopo that her Majesty's Government may admit the validity of our objections to the recent change, by •resuming in the provision of the April divi dends the practice which until last year had invariably prevailed, " We have, &c., "J.

Should the negotiations pending at Vienna fail to pro euro an honourable peace, the Emperor of the French will proceed forthwith to the Crimea to superintend or command the military operations there. The Empress will accompany Napoleon 111. The Emperor, Lord Palmerston, Sir John Burgoyne, and other distinguished patties necessary to such a con ference, had confidential communications at Windsor last week. Doubtless the natural reluctance of the French Minis try to represent the Imperial authority in the absence of the Emperor must render them anxious to retain his pre-ence and responsibility in France at the present time, and it might be urged by them that the interests of Europe may be more involved by the absence of Louis Napoleon from Europe than even by a comparative com promise with Russia ; but the Emperor thinks other wise ! ! —Morning Herald.

SIR, -- ll4tving been officially, .as well as individually, concerned in what has been termed " recent financial and economical legislation," or, more properly speaking, those changes which have been effected since I had the honour to submit 'to the celebrated' committee of the House of Commons on import duties, in 1840, a tariff of commercial and financial legislation, , which legislation was soon after carried much farther into effect than I at first proposed by Sir R. Peel, in 1842 and 1844; I cons sider it now an imperative moral and public duty on my part to scrutinise, and, in its fallacious and unjust points, to expose and to do my utmost to obstruet the financial measures of the present Government, as set forth in the budget of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. - I feel it, sir, my duty to do so, not -only as discharging a sacred responsibility as a man entrusted by one of the greatest cities in Eurape, not to represent the citizens ae a mere delegate; but as a legislator in the Imperial Parliament. Thi4 discharge of the duty which lowe t fo our coml. Ftryiin common with every other member of Parliament, I consider of an importance, at the present time of peril and uncertainty, paramount' to every other legislative consideration. First —I contend that the praject is unnecessary and unsound, while I admit that the exigencies as well as the profligate expenditure of this war of calamities—of misfortunes and disgrace—consequent chiefly on the proved i nca p ac i ty o f i ts management, will require a large additional revenue,-which could not be lefied within the year, evithout oppressive a n d un b eara bl e t axa tion. Secondly —I not only admit but maintain that, having undertaken this war, to which I cannot see an early ter anitiation, except by a dishonourable Peace, the flatlet' riat Pay the expenses to which they have, whether in lar i i ib r . wisdom or t h eir folly, bound themselves. do not admit that, in order to pro Cure the additional revenue necessary to meet the - expenditure, it tiseja,usandwiscoei eoer, whichexpedient to increase the duties on sugar, have become, as essentially as bread, thedgadileyazustenancle -of all the inhabitants of the United Kin g d om Fourthly,] as un sound in depr eca t e th e increase of those duties, not only the nation, but especially reprehensible and as a disappointment to repreh ens ibl e i n the f ace o f the high prices of corn and other articles of food, and in utter disregard uf the sufferings 'of all the labouring classes, great numhers of whom have been some months out of employment, and enduring 'severe privatiore. Fifthly-I . protest, and - I believe. the nati on genera ll y will do so, against the unfairness, the negligent*, and the absence of sagacity on the part of the Government, in not affording the public the opportunity of bidding for thenecessary loan, after the successful and economical example lately carried into effect by-the Government of France --instead of adopting the old, pernicious, and indolent practice of raising the loan' through the mono. poly of one chief capitalist. - Sixthly—l condemn as unsound the project of rais ing a loan by perpetual annuity, and by the contingent bait or temptation of 14s. 6d. per cent. terminable in 30 years, the action of which project being inevitably to re duce. the value of consols, and the principle of which is to add 16,000,0001. in the first place to the permanent debt ' • for the proposal to pay o ff 1,00 0,000/. a year is as absurd a delusion as paying off the whole debt by a sinking fluid. Seventhly—Admitting as I do that it has become in dispensable to provide, in addition to the present re venue, a sum not less than 23,000,0001.; I contend that by the Simplicity of a loan, to be raised by public com petition, and on.the principles of terminable annuities, that 20,000,000/. in terminable annuities, taking an average of 'fifty years, might be forthcoming by such competition, :and consequently withont the oppressive increase of the duties on tea, sugar, and coffee—articles more than any other the solace of our cottages, 'and of the labouring population in towns, and rural and fishing villages, as well as necessaries to all other classes. . Lastly—l belieie that if the Chancellor had at once said, "I cannot provide the whole expenditure within the year ; I cannot add to the permanent debt, and I must have recourse to terminable annuities, and I will, as has been successfully done recently in France, and, as was the practice in this country until Mr. Pitt, in an evil hour, in 1793, pursued a more slothful but most pernicious course—set up the loan to public competition" —then, I am persuaded that he might have procured 20,000,000/. on about the following terms, viz. 5,000,000/. on annuity terminating in 44 years at 4 pr. et. 5,000,0004 48. „ at 31 •.„ 5,000,000/. 5- ~ : at 31. „ 5,000,060/. 56 „ at 34 „ 20,000,0001. Total 2OO years at 15 pr.ct. Average termination of annuities 50 years, - and inte rest 31 per cent. ; which average interest would form a yearly,:ebarge of 750,000 b. for an amount finally termi nating with the last year of the present century. But, even calculating the interest at the extravagant rate of 5 per cent. allowed . .to the Bank of England for advanc ing 11,000,901..0f its capital in 1823 (a great portion of which no doubt Was the money of its customers) for an annuity terminable in: 1857, called bbe !E Deadweight" of the.Banlc, 1,000,000/ would defray the charge. Now, such 20,000,0001. and 3,009,6001. of Exchequer Bills as proposed would wake up the 23,000,0001., leaving for contingencies the additi ona l revenue rom spirits, although I fear the proposed duties - will prove strong temptations to illicit distillation and to smuggling. I also, doubt the wisdom of increasing the income tax after the large 'addition made to it last year. liivenClusion; I am at a loss to account for the spaiby cf ihe , present House of Commons and rnany,of itR lead ing members during the present session, and espepially r the tit:par:oMA' rapidity with which the estimates terra .voted:; Neither on these n or , on the budget .have Mr. obden or Mr. 13s ight opened their mouths.

And my friend adds :—" I find also amongst the naval and military men, that "Lan caster, of Bond-street, London, is the inventor of the Lancaster gun, and it derives its name from him." So mute fur the assertion of the OrJnance-office and Select Committee, that my oval shell " was not adapted to military purposes, and had nothi ng w h a tever to do with, it ;" and of Mr. Lancaster himself, that he " knew nothing whatever about it but what he lead seen in the newspapers I" Judging, however, from t.aohonuranyp t toca h oewol e nlfoa s yomtl k ah: e hinerm t me.p c h eyirti r oo e ar f v e isa f t referred e upon p t o o n , it simi larityc e r s thinly is no wonder that we have heard so little of the effective use of this vanted shell, as, from its shape and method of propulsion, it is the very reverse - of that cal culated to obtain the desired object and result.
