In Brightota, the revising barrister —despite of the overwhelming evi dence of increased development and value of the Road Hill park estate, evidence which he totally disregarded—adhered to his original decision, notwithstanding that other claims analogous to those of the allottees of the society have been allowed. The Conservative Land Society is now in its 12th year. It was commenced at a period when great and important interests intimately connected with the just pri vileges of all classes were imperilled, and it became the duty of all true patriots to protect them. The original political object of the society has been completely successful it has prevented the counties from being swamped with fictitious votes, and it has offered to all classes of the community not possessed of the freehold franchise the opportunity of acquiring it on the basis of property in land, which, sooner or later, must become profitable. The combination of political and pecuniary advantages has in both instances been a prosperous movement; and if the former incentive to action has of late years, owing to the increase of the Conservative tendencies in the country, not been so urgent, the social and commercial principles of the Conservative Land Society have become still more marked and more de veloped. The executive committee feel deeply the import ance of the duties devolving on them; they will endeavour to secure the continued success of the society by exercising the greatest caution in the acquisition of eligible estates for allotment, and by maintaining a system of management Iwhich has hitherto proved so satisfactory to the share holders.

POST.—The speech of Colonel M.Murdo at the prize meeting of the 37th Middlesex comes oppor tunely at a moment when the country is beginning to inquire what it has got for the money which was so liberally voted last session. A uniform grant of one pound per man, to be increased under certain circumstances to thirty shillings, may represent no very extravagant outlay from the public purse. But, in the first place, it must be remembered that this capitation grant is supplemental to the expense en tailed by the maintenance of a competent number of inspectors, of a staff of adjutants, and of a sufficient quota of drill instructors to allow of each detached corps being furnished with one. Then, too, there is the issue of arms, and of a certain amount of ammu nition gratis, and of an additional number of rounds up, we will not say to a formidable item in the e a s t t c hn os a t t p e r s ic o e f . t l h n e th way the sum gradually mounts Minister is for War, but to a figure which may well make us carefully scrutinise the return which we are likely to get for our expendi ture. By the fourteenth of the present month all accounts will be made up, and we shall know to a ' fraction how many effectives the volunteer force musters. Indeed, so minute are the forms which have been issued that there will be no difficulty in ascertaining at a glance—first, how many each corps possesses in the shape of affiliated members, effec• tives and non-effectives included ; secondly, how many have qualified themselves by attendance at drill to receive the Government grant ; and thirdly, what proportion of the latter have passed through the prescribed course of ball firing in addition to the ordinary routine of attendance at position drill, or musketry instruction, required of all effectives. The first category may be said to include all who could be rallied in the course of a fortnight, in the case of actual need of their services ; the seconds epresents the bone and sinew of the movement ; wle among the third are generally to be found the pith and marrow of each individual corps, the enthusiastic among the commissioned officers, the best of the sergeants and corporals, and the "old soldiers" of the movement among the privates. Enough, how ever is already known, by those who have such means of information at their command as Colonel M'Murdo, to warrant their expressing a tolerably confident opinion as to the numbers and state of efficiency at which the whole force has arrived. These, we are glad to learn, may be regarded as satisfactory. The Inspector-General has every rea son to believe that, under the new regulations, the force is maintaining its former strength. The pre dicted eventual lukewarmness of those who origi nally composed it has always been the bugbear of volunteer organisation. It was asserted that, as time went on, the ranks would be decimated by the joint effects of satiety, of indolence, and of matrimony, until brigades dwindled away to the strength of single regiments, regiments to that of companies, and companies to sections. This, however, if we are to believe Colonel M'Murdo, has not been the result. Nay more, in the case of one distinguished corps, we happen to know that any defalcations on the part of original mem bers have been amply made up for by the influx of recruits, and that the battalion parades for inspec tion, or upon any special occasion, just as strong as when it appeared for the first time in public at the memorable review in Hyde-park. There is another point, however, upon which Colonel M'Murdo's evidence may be regarded as still more conclusive. He has, in the course of the year, not only had full opportunity, as Inspector-General, of scrutinising the proficiency attained by the metropolitan volunteers, but he has attended county musters in Essex, Suffolk, Devonshire, Dorsetshire, Lan cashire, Darham, Worcestershire, and elsewhere. The result of his experience is in every way favour able to the working of the present system, and the state of efficiency which has been generally attained under it. He is " gratified to find that in battalion, in brigade, and in divisions of brigade, the volunteers work together efficiently, as armed and disciplined men should do ;" in other words, that they are doing that which the country means and expects that they should do. To say that they are the equals of troops of the Line would be to flatter them at the expense of truth. They are not, and never can be, their equals, even in the movements of an ordinary field-day, and for all the purposes of a campaign they have their work still to learn. But then they were never in tended for it. What the nation requires is a rough and-ready force, costing comparatively little, but available at a moment's notice, and sufficiently drilled and disciplined, in the event of any sudden attack, while the militia—the old constitutional safeguard of the country—is being mustered and trained. And this, if Colonel M'Murdo is right, is precisely what we have got. The one hundred and sixty thousand odd men who compose the effectives of our Volunteer army are of a class and calibre which could not be subtracted for any length of time without serious inconvenience from the rest of the community. But they could and would do their best to stem the tide of an invasion, and, after the first burst was over, to lighten the task of those pro fessional soldiers upon whom the main burden of our defence must ultimately fall. They would be in valuable, from their local knowledge, either to an advancing or a retreating army, They would par tially garrison many of our most extensive fortified places. Above all, their presence would operate, even in their disembodied state, as a salutary check upon those " dangerous classes" who would seize with avidity the occasion of any national disaster to set the police, their hereditary enemies, at defi ance. The nation has a cheap bargain of the Vo lunteers upon such terms. As Colonel M'Murdo sensibly observes, the acceptance of a Psrliamentary grant does not deprive the force of its volunteer character, for the unpaid services and time of the officers and men are still given for the public bene fit. What it does do, and ought to do, is to secure that the country gets a substantial return for the money which has been already spent upon the movement. If the professional inspection of the various corps is honestly and thoroughly carried out it is next to impossible that the public money should be squandered. Col. M'Murdo is evidently of opinion that it is not so, and that every year renders the volunteer force more efficient for the purposes for which it was originally designed. We believe that his views are shared by others who have had the opportunity of watching its rise and progress, and that, with due vigilance, there is no prospect of any falling off either in its numbers or • I its efficiency.

Tun PYRAMID TOMB OF CARTS CESTICUS, so well known to all visitors to Rome, has recently been restored, by order of the Pontifical Government, Some ex cavations made in a cemetery near San Sebastian° resulted in the discovery of many symbols and inecriptio which proved it to have pertained to th e Jews of Rome. The ns burial place was in the form of a long gallery on one level, not, as with the ordinary Catacombs, on different floors, one above another. In the sides of this g allery the graves Were placed in tiers. Some d oubts were raised, and may be still entertained, as to the Hebrew .character of these interments, from the fact that no inscriptions were feund in the lan guage of that nation, but all appears . in Greek or Latin. lemon-fruit, birds, th cow and calf, grel Even the seven -branched candlestick is no decisive sign of palm,n h o e r ns ar a e s s d ul .e th ke e ns, which appear to have been found.

In this cemetery were found two vaulted chambers, painted with a VictcrY' with palm and crown, winged, and bestowing a reward . on a youth who kneels at her feet ; a fewoe figure bearing a cornucopia ; the genii of the seasons ; Pegasus ; the pea cock ; and other symbols, which would seem to indicate the accidental juxtaposition of a r a g = i p l a ce of interment with that of the Jews.—Athenceu m. CAPTURE OF A BURGLAR BY A PUBLICAN'S DAUGHTER.—COURAGEOUS CONDUCT.—About half past ten on Saturday night, the daughter of Mr. Samuel Brown, landlord of the Cross K eys, Hunslet-lane, when attending to her ordinary duties, fancied she heard some thing upstairs. Without speaking to any one she went up to one of the bed-rooms, and there found two men, who had just been ransacking the drawers. She boldly seized one of them, and he called out to his companion, who made an unsuccessful attempt to rescue. lle pulled him a por tion of the way down stairs, but the young woman gallantly h e ld him by th e hair of the Lead until assistance came, The other man got away, carrying with him about £8 in silver. ,The man apprehended, whose name is James Wal lace, no doubt a travelling thief, though describing himself as a "French polisher, Bradford," had in his possession a complete set of very supe r i or s k e leton keys, a dark pocket lantern, picklocks, and other housebreaking implements.

Her Majesty's steam storeship Supply, Comman der Bawdeu, R.N., having discharged a portion of her cargo from Malta and Gibraltar, consisting of victualling stores, yesterday hauled alongside the wharf at Woolwich, and commenced returning her dockyard stores. The freightship Guide, from Gibraltar, yesterday completed clearing out her cargo of returned war stores at Woolwich, and was paid out of theeereice. The old 78 gunship Conqueror, fitted with a screw propeller, is under orders to receive the bat talion of Royal Marines for Japan, in command of Lieut.-Col. Suther, on the 11th inst., and to sail on the following day. The Lord Panmure, ordnance steamer, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from Woolwich, with a heavy cargo of guns and ordnance stores, including the two 12-ton 10.5 inch 300-pounder Armstrong guns from Woolwich, for the Excellent gunnery ship at Portsmouth pro tem., but intended for service in the turrets of the Royal Sovereign. One of these pieces is rifled, and the other is a smooth bore. Both are of Elswick manufacture. The performances of one of Sir William Armstrong's smooth bore 100-poun ders, now under trial at Portsmouth, is likely to attract considerable attention from artillerists. The 100-pounder Armstrong smoothbore gun is pretty well known, but it may be as well to state here that it weighs 8 tons 641 b., has a diameter of bore of 8.9 in., a length of bore of Bft. Bin., and an exterior length of lift. 2in., with a circum ference at thickest part of base of Bft. Sin. With this gun experiments have been commenced with steel shot and shell, but they have not suffi ciently advanced yet to furnish any detailed report. What has actually been accomplished is this : Spherical and steel shot have been fired from the gun with 201 b. of powder, only a fifth of the weight of the shot, and have penetrated through a 51 inch armour-plate, bolted on the side of the Monarch target ship, and also through the side of the ship itself, covering the deck of the target ship with splinters of the ship's planking, timbers, and iron knees, fragments of the broken plate, and of the steel shot itself which had broken into small pieces in its course. Never, perhaps, was the want of an inner iron skin inside the wood backing of a ship's armour more forcibly illustrated. The result demonstrates the insecurity which must exist in time of action for the seamen working the guns of ships of the Royal Oak class, and the security under like circumstances for the men in the Warrior class of ship. To fully realise the importance of this fact of a spherical shot fired from a smoothbore gun passing through a 51-inch armour-plate and the side of a line-of-battle ship, it must be borne in mind that this is the first known instance of the kind, and that our greatest effarts in the same direction, which have been made with the Armstrong 110 pounder rifled gun and the 95cwt. 68 pounder smooth bore have merely resulted in making an indentation of 2in. or less on the plate's surface; that is, when the plate has been of equal quality with the plates through which the steel shots penetrated. It must not be thought, however, that the gun can claim the entire credit of this result. In the majority of our firing at wrought iron armour-plates we have dis charged with 161 b., 201 b., and at times, 251 b. of powder 601 b. balls of soft gray cast iron. In firing steel shot against wrought iron plates we have but now taken up the principle we should have first started with in the great contest of " guns against armour-plates." It is evident that the destructive penetrating power gained in these experimental fir ing trials is owing more to the nature of the projectile than to the gun from which it was fired. If the War rior's side can therefore be destroyed by steel balls fired from the old and despised 68 pounder, there will be new data furnished for the study of our artillerists and shipbuilders. Yesterday the War Department transport Bom ar sund shipped a large quantity of condemned ord nance stores, guns, at Chatham for Woolwich, and afterwards dropped down the river to the Go vernment powder magazines at Upnor Castle, where she also shipped a quantity of condemned shell. The work of cutting away the granite sides of the dock at Chatham in which the Achilles has been constructed is being rapidly pushed forward by a body of workmen under the direction of Messrs. Foord and Sons, in order that no delay may be ex perienced in having everything completed for float ing the iron frigate out of dock on the 24th inst. A party of workmen have arrived at the dockyard from the engineering establishment of Messrs. Penn and Sons, Greenwich, in order to commence fitting the screw machinery on board the Achilles before she is undocked. The mechanics and labourers of the dockyard and arsenal at Woolwich yesterday commenced working overtime, to compensate for the loss of the Satur day following Christmas-day, which is to be held as a holiday, so as to close the establishments during the three successive days. The third experimental 600-pounder Armstrong gun, similar to those forwarded to the Excellent at Portsmouth, is now ready to be shipped at Wool wich for Shoeburyness. The new Bellerophon target, which has been fitted at Shoeburyness, under the superintendence of Mr_ Baskcomb, one of the foremen of Chatham dockyard, and a body of shipwrights, has been con structed by the Millw all Iron Company, and is in tended to represen t as nearly as possible a portion o fr f ig th a e te pf wohpioeshedlissids been commenced a t Chathame of the Bellerophon, increased dockyard. Its trial is looked forward to with the keenest interest, as on the results will mainly de pend the form of construction which the first of Mr. ' s nevi ironca sed fri gates will take , The part which is to be t es t e d by the target is o ß f ei the d ship that situated between the main and lower decks and not in the line of ports, the object being to ascer tain the strength of the general side of the ship. As the Bellerophon is to carry only a small number of guns, special arrangements will be made to strengthen the side of the f ri g ate near the ports. As the numb er w ill be small, it will be possible t o strengthen them b Bich introduction of additional c ould not be practicable if iron to an extent w the double of the number were lar g e. Each frame of the tar g et is made of angle i ro n 10in, long, 3in. broad, and Ti. n d z, thicknessi and two angle irons by 3 1 , inches,n thickness, rivetted tog e th er . 'T o d gle irons of this frame the s ki n , which is icomposed o pubosle an edof two thicknesses of i nc h plating, h i anin . painted canvass between, is rivetted. On the outside of the skin plating four horizontal angle iron stringers are attached, two under the upper armour plate, Wein- long by 3A-in. wide, and sin. thick, the broad flange being square to ,tho skin, and not reaching out to the armour by half an inch. The other two are placed behind the lower plate, and are 10in. long, tin. wide, and sin. thick. The breadth of the broader flange being the same as the thick ness of the backing, reaches out to and comes in contact with the armour. Wood backing, 10in, thick, is worked longitudinally on the skin plating, and between the angle-iron stringers, bolted with nut and screw, bolt through the skin plating. The armour consist of two rolled plates Gin. thick, weigh ing upwards of nine tons each. The upper armour plate is fixed with bolts 2 1 ; in. in diameter. In one half of the target, divided vertically, the armour bolts have elastic washers, and are clinched on s ingle nuts. In the other half, the bolts have co washers, with double nuts, and the Bellerophon clinched.

Gibraltar, Capta in w a; ' t,.‘ri Reed , At six o'clock this evening 0e celebrated Sumter, now called the into the harbour, with a cargo of tton,with which steamed she ran the block a de from Wilro ngton, North Carolina. Having been introduced uno: er peculiarly f avou rable circum s t ances , I was most hos, nitabl y re ceived by Captain Reed, and had the p i e asure of hearing from him an exclusive account of in;s out ward and homeward voyage, but reserve such par ticulars as I think should not be made public at present. The vessel left Liverpool on the 4th of July, and on the 15th August, when in sight of ORw shore of North Caroline, one of the engines broker down, and, after some delay, was repircd. Soon after the accident Captain Reed went aloft, when he saw three of the blockade squadron—one on the starboard, one on the larnoard aide of hi©, and thestarboard, other directly in front, and bearing down. Ile captain, knowing it would be ruinous to seek to evade scrutiny .a• - . once hoisted the American pennant on the main, and the ensign on the peak, and bore directly for the stearenu in front, passing so close to her as to see men rep.airing their hammoclzs and, some sails on deck. This bold course of proceed ing, and Captain Reed's ready response to the hail of the Yankees, at once disarmed suspi cion, and the Gibraltar IVIS enabled to get i under cover of the guns of Fort Fisher, which s in the hands of the Confederates, without interrup— tion, On account of the state of the tide the v essel could not get p as t the bar of the port of Wilmington, and her pos ition soon attracted notice of the flag ship outside.

Reed's stay in Wilmington the town was paid, a visit by President Davis, who was received with. the greatest enthusia sm . Capt. Reed wa s re q uired in Charleston, and he describes the feeling there in favour of " secesh" as most intense, the ladies espe cially being most enthusiastic, and so forgetful of self that they disregarded General Beauregard's injunction to leave the city and get out of the teach of General Gillmore's Greek fire. For some time after her arrival the Confederate Government had under consideration the propriety of taking the Gibraltar again into service, but OIL account of the state of her boilers they deter mined to let her proceed. Having taken the cotton on board and paid 1,500 dollars to a pilot for the ran to Bermuda, the captain proceeded down the bay, but got aground on the Rip in sight of the blockading squadron, which was now in creased from four to seven vessels. The vessel being got off an endeavour was made to get her down the new inlet, but the pilot again got her aground, and as she was now in close proximity to the squadron, Captain Reed telegraphed his position up the bay to the Confederate battery at Fort Oeswell. Three launches, each having 20 meu on board, were at once sent down to his protection, remaining by the side of the ship lest she should be cut out, until the third night, when the captain, having previously taken the bearings of the flag ship, succeeded getting oat. The Gibralta r reached Bermuda la, two and a half days, a nd made Queenstown in 1 ' ) days.

The Sumter is now busily engaged in coaling, and will proceed a t once to Liverpool to deliver her cargo, which consists of 330 bales of heavy cotton, each weighing 8001 b. —Correspondent of Dublin Express. --_-:TI1E h en BREATH the Ia t e O iv I I .
