The work has been so greatly extended, that the division entitled " Street Directory" contains 152,416 names, being about THIRTY-EIGHT THOUSAND more than have ever appeared in the corresponding division •of any other book. Its distinguishing feature is, that in it all the streets, squares, crescents, &c., &c., of the metropolis and its snbnrbs appear in one general alpabetical arrangement; it is, therefore, the only work in which the occupant of any house can be ascertained. The 152,416 names are carried into all the classifications to which they are appropriate, each in its proper alphabetical position; all the members of any profession or trade, whether in the metropolis or its suburbs, are (in the" Trades" division) arranged alphabetically in one list. This being the only work in which they are so, is the only one in which all the members of any trade can be ascertained. The nobility, gentry, and professional persons resident in London and its suburbs, are included in the one general" Court" alphabetical list, now so greatly extended that it inc udes upwards of Forty -tour thousand names. An accurately compiled 'Conveyance Directory,' so comprehen sive as to include all the Railway Stations and Money Order Offices in Great Britain, is included in the volume, which also contains a large amount of miscellaneous information, as—House of Peers, in their order of precedence—Provincial Inns, with their holders— Arrangemtnts of the Law Courts—s am , s of all Postmasters in England and Wales—Periodical Publications. with their Publishers —not any part of which is to be found in any other London Direc tory. It, besides, has (exclusively) that most important adjunct, an INDEX TO STREETS, PLACES, CHAMBERS, WHARFS, &C., &C., with full, Money Order information.

Royal Alhert, 121, screw, Captain Sir Thomas Pasley, is still at the fairway moorings at Sheerness. On Satur day she got steam up and tried her engines, &c. We hear everything works admirably. To-morrow morning she will leave her moorings and proceed out on her trial trip. She has, we understand, got all her ammunition, &c., on board, and sails bent. This splendid screw is now in good sailing trim, and fully ready for sea, with the exception of not being fully manned. On that point, particularly as far as seamen are concerned, she is very deficient. No doubt, however, many will avail them selves of joining this, almost the finaA ship in the world. Hannibal, 91, Captain the Hon. F. W. Grey, arrived at Devonport on Thursday last. She has some defects in her engines, which are being made good. She is re ported to be ready for sea by the 13th (this day). The •detachment of . Marines, under Lieut. Casey, which arrived from Woolwich for service in the Black Sea, embarked on board the Hannibal on Thursday last. Her complement is to be made up by a draft from the crew of the Cossack. She takes a snail for the Black Sea. Orion, 90, screw, is lying und er t h e s h eers i n t h e dock yard, Sheerness. The Monkey, arrived oa Friday with the main shaft, towing the - Beaver, with two of her boilers and other pieces of machinery, which she took in on Saturday. Each boiler 'weighs something like 25 tons, by John Nun and Son. This ship, although only a two-decker, is six feet longer than the Royal Albert, and with the aid of the caisson will barely (if at all) go into the dry dock. They say sho will only take in her machinery there, and go back to Chatham, to get ready for sea. Orders have been received for Mr. Penn's me chanics to work from. 6 a.m. till. 7.30 p.m., which will forward her very materially these short days. Like most screws upon launching she is six feet by the stern. The Pylades, screw corvette, 20 guns, building at Sheerness, is fast being completed. Her figure-head is being put on, and the 23d inst. is the time named, if pos. sible, for her being launched. She is a splendid model (her planks are of teak), with a long, sharp bow, clipper like. Penn and Sons' men are fixing the tubes, and the Monkey has taken down some of her machinery. Horatio, 22, screw, is lying over 9n the east side of her Majesty's basin, Sheerness, waiting orders, ete. Sh e is refitting. Janus, 5, paddle, Lieutenant Commander Kane, is still moored over on the west shoreat Sheerness, waiting orders, &a. _ Cuckoo ' 3, paddle, Lieutenant Command er A ugus t us Murray, has hauled out of her Majesty's basin at Sheerness, and is lying up the harbour refitting, &c. Porcupine, 3, paddle, Lieutenant Commander Jack son, is lying up the harbour at Sheerness. We hear her crew, with few exceptions, have all returned. Drake, mortar vessel, was masted at Portsmouth on Saturday, and the plankings of her decks completed. She will be ready to proceed to the Black Sea in less than ten days, fit for service. We learn by electric telegraph front Plymouth that the Meander, 44, for Lisbon, left that port yesterday at 11 a.m. with a fino breeze from N.N.W. The Curacoa, 31, screw-frigate, Captain the Hon. ,George F. Hastings, was paid advance at Spithead on Saturday, and a general signal was made to send to her all supernumeraries for the Black Sea and Mediterra nean, for whieh station she sails day, taking a mail. The Brisk, 14, Commander Curtis, hauled out of the fitting basin at Portsmouth on Saturday, after a refit. A large screw steamer, brig-rigged, with the funnel close to the foremast, passed up Channel off Plymouth at noon. _ _ _ The powder was taken out of the St. George, 120, Captaia Eyres, on Thursday, preparatory to her going up Hamoaze. The Diligence transport received a new mainmast and bowsprit from the Devonport Dockyard on Thursday, preparatory to hor taking in stores for the Eastern yards. The Prussian barque Condor, Capt..Steffings, 15 days from Dantzic, with timber for the dockyard, arrived at Plymouth on Friday. The barque Alpha, Capt. Tulloch, 16 days from Got tenburg, with deals for Melbourne, put into Plymouth leaky on Saturday. The officers and men of the Devonport Dockyard have subscribed one day's pay each to the Patriotic Fund. It is the intention of the Lords of the Admiralty to enter 400 men forthwith among the different branches of artisans employed in the Devonport Dockyard. The Avon steam-vessel, from Portsmouth, arrived at Plymouth on Friday. A contract for 2,000 quarters of wheat was taken at the Royal Clarence Victualling establishment, Gosport, on Saturday, at an average of 765. Bd. per quarter. strongest and most seasoned oak, with the sides pre pared to resist the heaviest shot. She is progressing in a manner truly astonishing, and about June'next will make room for another on the same stocks. We have also the screw guard-ships Hastings and Pembroke, convert ing rapidly, besides three first-rates, all of which will be fitted with the propeller prior to launching. DEVONPORT. —A considerable increase is to be made to the mechanical departments of our naval arsenals forthwith. The immediate increase in the establishment at this port will be nearly 400 men, and a proportionate number of officers. Of the 400 about 150 are to be shipwrights. KEvnA.m.—A. jetty, upwards of 700 feet in length, parallel with Moon's Cove, is to be built forthwith, for the convenience of bringing ships alongside previous to being docked. SHEERNESS.—The greatest possible activity prevails throughout the whole of her Majesty's Dockyard, Sheer ness ; a tram•road is being laid down for carts, &0., and pipes for gas, in lieu of the oil lamps hitherto glim mering throughout the-yard. A boiler factory of large dimensions is being built, and progressing fast. The vic tualling department, or a portion of it, is being got ready for the crews of those ships that are ordered here from the Baltic to winter. We hear the Euryalus frigate, 50, screw, is expected here, and that orders have been received respecting her. Mr. T. Hockings (principal in this depart ment), whose health has been impaired by the duties ne cessarily devolving upon him, is now under medical treatment at Melville Hospital, Chatham. We hear, however, change of air, &c., has much improved him. The out-houses for the sailors' accommodation are built upon improved principles, and rapidly progressing. ' Great discontent appeared to ' ptevail throughout the artisans in her Majesty'a Dockyard on Saturday._ jal. consequence of some alteration in their pay ; they all assembled in a body, and refused to go to work without some satisfaction with reference to their future pay ments ; it was arranged that a deputation of five should wait upon the dockyard authorities on Monday morn ing, to see what arrangements they could come to.

N.B.—Beware of a spurious imitation. SIR JOHN FRANKLIN AND HIS COMPANIONS. TO THE ZDITOB, OF TRB EXAMINEE. Sir,—The letter signed "S. Lichfield, Oct. 31," and he letter of Dr. Rae, quoted by you in answer, deserve •cam me a few comments. Dr. Rae deservedly takes rank with the Arctic heroes, and he is a traveller after my own fashion—simple and inexpensive, bold and enduring in his personnel and materiel. I should be sorry, very sorry, therefore, to say anthing to give him pain. Had. Dr. Rae " limited his belief," as you, sir, "to the proof.: of identity and death," much pain and anxiety would have been spared to us. The intrepid traveller has formed an opinion s, lely upon his pantomimic con versation with an Esquimaux—solely upon " the few words which pass between two men who speak no com mon language ;" and is still striving to maintain that opinion, solely and irrespective of all others, of his own knowledge of the country he is dealing with. I believe he cannot, I hope he cannot, establish that opinion. The conclusion, as I understand it, at which Dr. Rae has arrived, is that the white men at the Great Fish River have died the death of starvation and cannibalism. His premises are these. The Esquimaux had no abund ance of wood, and they would have had abundance of wood if they had plundered Franklin's ships. The Great Fish River is deficient of game in the spring, and it was in the spring they were said to have died. Dr. Rae has stated in the Times, he has not read the "Blue Books ;" and a relative of Sir John Franklin states for him in the Times, that he knew not of the 10,0001. prize offered by the Government in 1850 for the trims of the Franklin Expedition. I can scarcely presume, therefore, to think he has ever read the humble narrative of a journey by me to the Polar Sea by the Great Fish River, or a History of the Esquimaux by me in the Journal of the Ethnological Society of London. Further, that he is not acquainted with my "cache" at Montreal Island, notwithstanding constant reference has been made to that cache, not only in the daily press, but within the walls of the Geographical Society ; and notwithstanding Mr. T. Simpson visited it to correct his longitude and raise a memorial of his visit. These are Mr. Simpson's words :—" On the 16th we directed our course, with flags flying, to the Montreal Island. Directed by M'Say our people soon found a deposit among the rocks, containing two bags'a pemi can, several pounds of chocolate, two canisters of gun powder, a box of percussion saps, and a japanned tin vasculum, inclosing three large fish-hooks. The pemi can, or taureau, as the voyageurs call it, was literally alive ; and it was wittily remarked, ' L'isle de Montreal sera bientot, peuphSe de jeunes taureaux.' The minor articles Mr. Dense and I took possession of as memo rials of having breakfasted on the identical spot where the tent of our less successful precursor (Sir G. Back) stood that very day five years before. Finding it ha. possible to reconcile Back's longitude, I have ad hered to my own observations the longitude of the island will thus be 96. 24. 15, instead of 95. 18. 15 ; and the extent of our discoveries D s i Simpson, c pc o sa v on e n r ai Dies tuh o r n e J t Da h n e r.: N ßl o Ba r 4e t 3 h tli C pa o t. a 3h s 7e t ol o ..8) f America, by Thomas be diminished by t wen ty-fi ve m il es. "—(N arra ti ve o f wrong in all his pre mises. First, the Esquimaux have no use for wood, for they de not use wood for fuel, the sea-oil is their fuel ; for they do not use wood for boat-building, the walrus skin is their boat ; and, as the little wood they use, together with walrus ivory, in the manufacture of im plements of the chase, is so adapted as to return to the owner, we may almost say they do not use wood even for the manufacture of implements of the chase. More over Dr. Rae seems to forget that the Esquimaux de scribe the forty white men as dragging a boat, and of course its complement of oars and masts ; and as forty men could not get into one boat, at least such a boat as Franklin would select to pass up rapids and cascades, there were most likely two boats, aye, and even three boats, enough wood for several generations of the Esqui maux of that locality. There is also the Victory steam ship left by Sir J. Ross close by. Second, Dr. Rae states :--"'That portion of country near to, and on which a portion of Sir J. Franklin's party was seen, is in the spring notoriously the most barren of animal life of any of the Arctic shores, and the few deer that may be seen are generally very shy, from having been hunted during the winter by Indians on the bor ders of the Woodlands." Dr. Rae must excuse my saying this is mere assump tion, and altogether gratuitous on his part. He is not justified in saying any such thing. Dr. Rae, it has to be borne in mind, has never put his foot on a single inch of the ground under consideration. He knows only of the Great Fish River by hearsay. The only three ,ravellers who have visited the Polar coast-line between the Coppermine River and the Great Fish River are Sir G-. Back, Mr. T. Simpson, and myself. The three narra tives of these travellers are published, and all show the country to be teeming with animal life, even up to the great human family. The Esquimaux are very numerous in the vicinity of the Great Fish River, and as we know n9thiug of their moral and intellectual character they may turn out in the end to be as treacherous as the Esquimaux of the Mackenzie River. There is not a doubt in my mind that the small seal the 40 white men traded from the Esquimaux was for the known beauty of its young skin, and that thirty-five of the forty white men were subsequently murdered by treachery ; that if the fire white men on Montreal Island, one of them was Sir John Franklin himself, and that he had separated with his four companions from the other thirty-five for the purpose of depositing in the King cache a memorial of his visit, which had been his practice year after year, as Captain M'Clure visited the Parry Sandstone. The Esquimaux, taking advantage of the separation, fell upon the thirty-five white men at Point Sir Charles Ogle, who were most assuredly withou, fire-arms, and massacred them—five only escaping—and then sur rounding OD M treal Island, starved out Franklin and his four companions.—l have, &c., 17, Smile-row, Nov.

True WELSI IRON AND COAL TBADES.—Those, the staple trades of South W ales, still coatinue in full acti vity ; the demand is unabated, and the natural result is that there is ne tendency to decline in prices. The iron market has been firm throughout the autumn, and the usually least active quarter has closed without the least sign of any diminution in the demand. Pig iron is par ticularly firm, the consumers being unable to obtain the least alteration in the rates of this description. The rates for coal are advancing, and there is no doubt that before long the price of this essential article will be materially advanced. An advance of 25 per cent. has been for some time established upon customary prices, and now this will be increased before Christmas. The demand still is larger, if possible, than ever, and enough, it is said, cannot be raised at the pit's month to meet the consumption. DIPUTT-LIEUTRIsTATS FOR CORK.—The Earl of Ban don, Lord-Lieutenant of the county and city, has no minated John Nicholas Murphy, the mayor ; William Fagan, M.P., Francis B. Beamisb, M.P., Andrew J. Wood, and Thomas Tobin, Esqrs., deputy-lieutenants for the city of Cork. THE COSSACK. The screw steam•sloop Cossack, Captain Fanshawe, had her main keel completed at Davenport on Friday. Her crew have been drafted into the Hanibal, 91, Cap tain Gray, to fill the vacancies, and she is to sail to morrow for the Black Sea. THE ROYAL STEAM YACHT. The Fairy Royal steam-yacht, Master Commander Welch, was undocked on Saturday at Portsmouth, after a thorough re-embellishment. PROVISIONS FOR THE EAST. Orders have been received at the Royal William Vic tualling-yard, Plymouth, for the shipment of 150,0001 b. of salt pork and 200,0001 b. of salt beef on board trans ports for the forces in the East. Iu order to expedite the work a party of Royal Marines from the flag-ship Impregnable, attend daily. Yesterday (Sunday) the labourers and others were actively employed in shipping bread on board the transport Chapman, bound for the Black Sea. The rye flour ground at this establishment cannot conveniently be converted into bread there, but will be sent to Millbay, where the Russian prisoners, for whom it was ground, will bake it in the ovens attached to the prisons. COURT-MARTIAL. A court-martial assembled at Plymouth on Saturday morning on board the flagship Impregnable, 104, Captain Wise, to try Mr. James William Peck Foord, paymaster of the Meander, 44, Captain Bayley, for neglect in not having rendered his cash and victualling accounts when paymaster in the steam sloop Sphinx, to the officers of the Comptroller of the Victualling Department. The court consisted of Admir a l Ed en , Admiral-Superinten dent of the Devonport Dockyard ; Captain Gray, Han nibal, 91 ; Captain Kingcombe, Royal William, 120 ; Captain Byres, St. George, 120 ; Captain Stopford, Calcutta, 84 ; Captain Bayley, Meander, 44 ; and Capt. Fanshawe, Cossack, 20. Th e court sa t f ro m 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The prisoner pleaded guilty; and the court, in consequence of his p rev i ous and subsequen t go od cha racter, adjudged him only to loso three years' rank as paymaster, and to be severely reprimanded.

Ross, K.C.8., has nominated Lieutenant-Colonel Hugh Hanley Tuito, of the Royal Artillery, to the com mand of the Artillery in the Belfast district, in the room of Lieutenant-Colonel Frederick M. Eardley Wilmot, who has been appointed to a situation at head-quarters, Woolwich. L ieutenant-Colonel Tuite will arrive at Charlernont about the middle of the present month. The steam-ship Cleopatra, having on board detach ments belonging to the 42d and 93d Highlanders, em barked at Birkenhead, arrived in . Cork harbour from Liverpool on thelth inst., to receive on board draughts of the- 21st, 30th, 33d, 47th, 50th, 55th, and 68th Regi ments for conveyance to the Crimea ; but, in consequence of some damage sustained by her machinery on the pas sage, she was not ready to receive the troops. Draughts of the 92d, 023, 9th, 14th, and 3d Buffs left Cork on Thursday in the Prince and Prince Arthur river steamers, for Queenstown, to embark on board the transport Gallipoli, for conveyance to Malta. The men, numbering 392, were under the command of Captain Hood, of the 3d Buffs. The band of the 91st played them to the quay, on leaving which they cheered loudly, and were heartily responded to. A detachment of the Royal Artillery, under the com mand of Captain H. A. Vernon, with Lieutenant Harris, marched from the garrison at Woolwich en Saturday morning, headed by the band and drums and flutes of the regiment, to the North Kent Rail way, en route for Portsmouth, where they will be joined by fifty additional men, under orders to embark in the Curacoa, 30, screw steam-frigate, as she will leave Portsmouth on the 13th instant for the Crimea. Recruiting for the army is proceeding actively in Nor folk and Suffolk, and with considerable success. During the last mouth upwards of 100 young men have been drafted from Norwich, Lowestoft, and Yarmouth for the metropolis. KILKENNY, Nov. 11.—The depot of the 17th Regiment in this garrison have received a " letter of readiness." Menu TROOPS FOR THE CRIMEA.—A draft of the 49th, from the depot battalion at Fermoy, is to proceed to England to embark on board the Adelaide for the Crimea.---Dub/in Evening Post. INCREASE OF THE ROYAL DOCKYARDS. PORTSMOUTH.—The pressure of business has been so great at this yard, owing to the repairs an d a l terat i ons necessary for the coming spring, that ere long the num bers will be increased to the original war establishment. There will bo required upwards of 1,000 additional ship wrights and joiners. The artisans are at the present moment planking-in the largest ship ever built in the Royal naval yards—namely, the Marlborough, screw, 131 guns, of more than 4,000 tons, and which will be ready for launching in the spring of next year—for power and symmetry she is unequalled.

The following is the text of the Austrian note of the 23d ult. addressed to the Austrian Minister at Berlin in reply to the Prussian despatch of the 13th ult. : "The Royal Cabinet has only responded to our own desire, when, as it remarks in its despatch of the 13th, it has subjected to examination the whole of our communi cations of the Ist. We were able to fall for this examina .. tion with the full assurance that its results, although big with consequences for all interested parties, would cer tainly not be ofa nature to cause to be ascribed to our man- ner of acting the causes of a sc i ss i on w hi c h we find it difficult to bring ourselves to think as possible. We have always been far from wishing to restrain in any manner the right of Prussia to decide freely and by her self on the acts which we have ourselves laid down in an independent manner. Ie the convention of April, and in the negotiations which preceded it, we reserved to ourselves the liberty of adopting independent measures, and acting according to circumstances, in so far as the latter shall be in full accord with the priuciples of the said convention. Why then oppose to us, with so much persistence, that we Lave acted indepen dently, if that manner of acting wore sufficiently called for ? Why not rather ask if we never acted otherwise than is a way rigorously consistent with the principles of the treaty, and with the view of assuring the realisation with the object it had in view ? The convention with the Porte was the previous and necessary audition of the execution of the supplementary article of the 20th April ; our present attitude in the principalities is equally the necessary consequence of it. When the treaty of offen sive and defensive alliance was concluded, Prussia did not ask that we should take the engagement of not co-operating with the adversaries of Russia, if that power should refuse to evacuate the princi palities. She must hare even foreseen that the con trary would take place. In this case, the operations in the principalities would not have had for their exclusive object the protection of German interests. Why then now lay down this impossible condition ? If we must express the impression which, ou the whole the last declarations of Prussia have can ied to us, we will say that we find between her and ourselves, less a di versity of principles, less a divergence in the manner of understanding the rights and the duties whieh result front the treaty of April, than a peculiar man ner of considering the facts. These facts have pre sented themselves in the eyes of the Prussian Govern ment in a manner different to that in which they have presented themselves to us, and we found on that cif cumetance the hope of an early understanding. The Prussian Cabinet appears to give to the fact of the re treat of the Russian army in the Principalities a political signification, which we cannot admit. On the other hand, the Cabinet of Berlin sees in the declaration of Rus sia ' to confine herself to the defensive,' a guarantee which we do not find. It finds nothing alarming in the as sembling in Poland of the best troops of Russia, whilst we consider it as a menace of the gravest kind. Every day renders the situation clearer, and gives a more serious warning. It consequently only remains for us to express anew our confidence in the assurance which has been given to us that H.M. the King under stands, in all their extent, the duties which are imposed on him in all eventualities by his anxiety to assure the security of Germany in the East. We still attach, as we have always done, the greatest weight to a common attitude of Prussia and Austria before the Diet. We have displayed solicitude and perseverance in maintain ing ourselves on a line in which Prussia and the other German States ought to meet us. In the affair of Hol stein, to which the Royal cabinet refers, extraordinary events prevent Prussia from strictly observing the same conduct; but the solo consequence to be deduced from the issue of this affair is precisely to recognise the immense ♦alue far all Germany of the union of Austria and Prussia. In the present state of things, we think it right again to propose to Prussia to co-operate in a completely uniform action of the representatives of the two powers in the Diet. With this view, we communicate to you the eventful instructions which we have drawn up from the Imperial ambassador in the Diet, and we authorise you to communicate them confidentially to Baron de Man teuffel—ard to add that we will not make use of this document until the Prussian Cabinet shall have entered into explauatioas with us. Your excellency will pre sent a copy of the present despatch to the Minister Pre sident of the Council.—Receive, &c., " DE BUOL." RUSSIAN PREPARATIONS. The following letter from the St. Petersburg correspondent of the National Zeitung puts the extensive preparations of Russia in a clear light before us : " OCT. 31.—Since the first manifesto ordering levies for the present war, and still more since the declaration made by this Government of its intention to confine itself to a defence of Russian territory, the universal conviction has taken root here that Russia will strain every nerve, even up to exhaustion, before she descends from her ori ginal demands to the level of the Four Points. It is true that a firm and tenacious occupation of the 'pledge' was expected with similar confidence, but on e that has not been justified. It was found impossibhe to retain possession of the principalities in the presence of Austria's attitude, and so, not to be compelled next spring to any more retiring en `strategic grounds,' it has been foisd desirable not only to form an army of reserve in addition to the active army that has been put on war footing, by calling in all absent on furlough, the reserves, and those who had re tired, but also to make preparations for a second army of reserve, by constructing its cadres, which the levies of next spring are to to fill up. This will be the 13th levy. The ex emption of some Governments from thel2th levy,thathas very recently been ordered, will occasion a considerable deficiency. For instance, the Taurian Government was a few days back exempted by the Emperor from this 12th partial levy. The military authorities will therefore be obliged to make up the deficiency out of other Govern ments of thewest, and institute supplementary levies. Be- side the active army, the Guards, and the Grenadiers, the two cavalry corps, and the corps Of Dragoons, there are to be not only the sth and 6th, but also the 7th and Bth battalions; that is to say, withthe exception of the reserve, the entire supplementary force is to be put on war footing. This indicates that preparations are being made to hold out against even an European coalition, and is fact against any possible combination ; and that peace does not enter into the calculations here. As to the possible duration of the war, it is felt that it depends solely on the length of the attack on Russia's defensive position. There is a strong feeling of hatred here against Austria, dating as far Lack as from the period of the Hunga rian war, and this feeling has become still mere embittered since the retreat from the Danubian Prin cipalities. It is only respect for the Emperor's will expressed on this head that prevents this feeling from breaking out into open manifestations. For the pre sent the Governmen t organs, by all sorts of extracts from the Russia -loving press in. Germany, impress on their readers that Austria is not the champion of German in terests in the present conflict. At the best it is hoped to keep Germany a little longer inactive, but as regards Austria this ex pectation has already been given up."

TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN. Liverpool, Nov. 8, 1851. SIR,—As you are aware, we have recently heard a great deal about certain wonderful things, called " Lancaster's gun ;" also termed an "oval gun" (a sheer impossibility); and likewise of "Lancaster's ovel shell." Now, I beg leave to ask—Does anybody know this "Mr. Lancaster" or his "oral gun," or where they are either of them to be found? Or what are the peculiarities of the gun, so celebrated by his name ? Because I have caused inquiries to be made on the subject, and can gain no in formation whatever respecting them ; and where, too, if they exist, they must of necessity be known. But as re gards the "oval shell," I happen to know a great deal, as will presently be seen. Yon will doubtless remember that in your publication of the beginning and latter end of August, and the end of September last, and also in the daily papers of the same period, there appeared the reports of trials at Shoebary nese and the Isle of Wight, of " Lancaster's oval.guns and shells," and of an elongated cannon ball, i.e., oval at one end, and cup-shaped or hollow at the ether--so it was de scribed. Now it happens that these " wonderfal things" have made " their first appearance on any stage" during the present year, and, indeed, within the last few months of it ; and how is this to be accounted for? Why, sir, I think I can tell you. And, dismissing at once the absurdity of en "oral gun," which it is not possible to bore, I come to the oval, or egg-shaped shell, and the elongated cannon ball (the only actual inventions), and which may be disposed of together. The following aro the facts : At the last session of the Society of Arts (1853-4), I ex hibited original models of the aforesaid " oval" or ogg shaped shell, and cannon and musket balls, of my own ex , dassive invention, of which I had neither seen nor heard of the like before, nor have I since. At the close of the exhibition in February last, I had to apply several times before the models were re turned, and three weeks elapsed before they reached me, and then it was minus the musket balls. They were also entirely omitted from the first catalogue I received ; and en complaining of the omission they were inserted in the next. I mention these circumstances as having some connection with what follows. On returning back the models (which I still possess) no thing more was heard of them or their merits until " Lan caster's oval gun" suddenly cams to light, and, of course, his "oval shell," at the same time, to fit it. The experiments above alluded to succeeded, with which all the world is now acquainted; and upon the strength of these I addressed the Board of Ordnance on the 30th August and 13th September (but without effect); and again by memorial on the 3d October, claiming the inven tion as mine, and tho usual consideration in virtue thereof. To the latter I received letters of invitation to meet the select committee at Woolwich (to whom the memorial was referred) on Tuesday, the 17th October, with my models. I accordingly attended at the appointed time ; and what do you think, air, was the result ? Why, I was actually sent for (for I happen to know that I was expected) from Liverpool to Woolwich, at the sacrifice of so much time, trouble, and expense, only to'be told that "my models had nothing whatever to do with it." And after a few unimportant questions, which indicated that I knew nothing about it, and had no business with it, the interview ended, and I was left to return home with as much consolation as I could under such circumstances. But this is net all. The select committee had to " report " to the Ordnance office the result of their interview with me and my models; and here it is as I received it : " The committee have stated that they do not consider the projectiles , of which you produced m o dels befo re th em , to be of any value for military purposes; and that in sup posing that experiments have been carried on at Shoebury ness and the Isle of Wight with your projectiles, you have been misled by newspaper paragraphs, there being mo foun dation for such a supposition." (The italics are my own.) Now, sir, you will see there is abundance of mystifica tion in all this. But, without stopping to discuss it, what are the facts ? The shell adopted is an " oval or ego , - shaped shell;" mine is also an "oval or egg-shaped shell." The eannon-ball tried is " oval at one end and hollow or cup-shaped at the other ;" mine is precisely the same. Be sides which, they were never heard of until after my mo dels had appeared; and yet I am told at first sight, and the only interview, that mine are not "of any value for military purposes," and that I " have been misled by news paper paragtaphs." I confess that lam quite unable to reconcile these statements. But be this as it may, ouo thing is certain : that no attempt was made, neither then nor since, to prove that my models had " nothing whatever to do with it, nor the slightest reference to any other in vention or inventor, and which, had such been the case, nothing could have been more easily done than at the time and on the spot, which they ought to have done. I therefore consider that I may safely challenge a com parison of the projectiles in proof that the inventions ori ginated with me, and that I am entitled to the credit and other advantages properly appertaining thereto. No doubt sCmemoro favoured party (but certainly not "Mr. Lancaster") has forestalled me, and obtained the benefit of my inventions. But that is no reason why I should be put to the cost, trouble, and annoyance of a journey of nearly 500 miles in order to be told so, and when a letter would have done as well, and been just as satisfactory. However, I could have suggested some important im provements in the aforesaid shells, which would have been of great service in the coming spring, and which I have now by me ; but I certainly shall not lay myself open to a "second edition" of such consequences, from honte, at all events. Apologising for thu3 trespassing upon you, I remain, sir, your obedient servant, R. B. FEATHER. THE HIGHLAND BRIGADE AT ALMA. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. - - SIR,—In a late number of the Examiner appears a letter signed "An Officer of Half a Century's Service," commenting with great displeasure at the flattering terms in which the conduct of the Highland Brigade at Alma has been noticed by the press generally, and states that "le is tired read ing of the gallantry. of these kilted warriors," that from his own knowledge these and all such testimonies to the valour of these mountaineers are more sham, having no truth except in the imagination, referring the editor to the small loss they suffered compared with the Guards as a proof that they had no claim to the distinction. There is in the "Officer's" letter so much of jealousy that the most careless reader must detect it, and would of itself be the best defence the press could offer for granting tribute where it was so justly duo. With your permission, I can not resist reminding him that Highland soldiers never yet faced an enemy without carrying off the palm of 'distinction, aud, while the fiery blood of the Celt runs in their veins, will continuo to be victorious in any con quest with an equal number of any nation in the world. The Highlanders have served in every quarter of the globe, at any rate wherever there was any fighting going on, and on every occaaiou where they have took part, they have had the special thanks of the Commander-in-Chief. From Assaye to Alma their military prestige has remained untar nished, as their advance has been as irresistible as the tor rents of their own mountains. The " Officer " calls atten- tion to the absence of any mention being made of the High land brigade in Lord Raglan's despatch. Such an overlook on the part of his lordship may be correct, but if the corres pondent of the Morning Herald is to be credited, Lord Raglan is said to have ridden to where they stood, and expressed his admiration of Sir Colin Campbell and his brigade. If the gallant officer is to be bound by despatches, I will refer him to the two last despatches of Wellington—Toulouse and Waterloo—of the three regiments ho particularised in the first, two of them (the 42d and 79th) were Highlanders—and the last para graph of his despatch from the latter, says, "I must par ticularly notice the gallantry of the 28th and 42d, 79th and 92d, Regiments. Now, of these four, three were High landers, and that an action where almost all the British army wore engaged ; and this testimony is from one not ' given to flattery. lam averse to the mentioning invidi ously of one regiment more than another, but where that is done by the representatives of the public press, I cannot admit that a person, because he feels annoyed at the no tice, is justified in impugning the veracity of these gentle men, and, in doing so, cast a sinister reflection at the regi ment so mentioned. lam astonished that an officer of 50 years' service should rest so much opinion in favour of regiments whose loss is greatest as a criterion of their superior gallantry. I believe he will not find many bro ther officers of the same way of thinking ; but if he pins his faith on that fact, he will find that the Highland regi ments will furnish him with mortal rolls that ought to satisfy him ; for instance, at Assaye, the 74th Highlanders had 11 officers and 114 rank killed; at Toulouse the 79th had 5 officers killed, and at Waterloo the 92d. and 42d were reduced to a few hundreds. It would have been more generous of the " officer" to abstain from rushing into print with his rancour. He must be consoled by the fact, that the "Highlanders are still the same savages" when fighting as they were when their English friends first made their acquaintance. It would also appear, from the following paragraph, which I take from the Times, Oct. 12, folio 7, that the Russians did not anticipate their fury at such a rate, and could not believe that they were mon :—" The Highlanders behaved with distinguished courage, never firing a shot until close upon the Russian regiments, when they gave them a volley and charged ; the enemy fell back, but at a little distance rallied, and, lowering their bayonets, advanced a few feet as if to charge. With joy the gallant Scots accepted the challenge, and charged at them, but their mere aspect was enough; the Russians, throwing off their packs, fled. Tho High landers' appearance, it is said, was so imposing that th e y seem to have been taken: for cavalry, as a largo square w7 s e formed to receive them." That the Highlanders' dase,ts.o much in their favour is unquestionable, as welleplSn .2it this last engagement as at Killiecrankie. T/!.. a J o ir 2 herald's correspondent also says of them lu ee with High landers, by not firing, were enabled to a ra pidity; the enemy's cannon had hardly . consequently, range before they were out of it agaeinr,...inoo.B of their loss was slight compared with tlLeireboll mode of ti d . m v e an to get their the same division."

Anderson, M.A., delivered a most impressive sermon at St. Paul's, Iterne-hill,. in aid of the funds of this charity. The funds at the present time were very low, and the ordinary receipts last year only amounted to 3,6381., while the expendi ture was 4,1421., thus leaving a large balance against the asylum. At the close of the rev. gentleman's discourse, a collection was made, which amounted to 621. On Friday evening last his Royal Highness Albert was returning to the Castle, attended by CaptaiiN, Du Plat, after hunting with the Royal harriers is the neighbourhood of Slough and Salt-hill, when just after the Prince had passed Eton College, and was proceeding through the High-street, a ferocious-looking fellow, with a stick in his hand, rushed out of the shop of Mr. Thum wood, where he had been purchasing some beef, into the road, and made use of some most i nsulting and abusive lPanrignueaegfeortslaeuldsishtaisnceno4 al Highness, following the the street, when Captain Du Plat promptly rode his horse between the fellow ar.d the Prince, and the scoundrel returned, flourishing his stick in a menacing manner, and continuing his offen sive observations towards his Royal Highness. The assault was witnessed by a young lady who was passing at the time, the daughter of Mr. Sanders, who resides near where the disgraceful transaction took place, and Mr. Sanders, on learning the fact, lost no time in communicating the whole of the particulars to Mr. Per kins, the intelligent and active superintendent of the Eton police, and to whom much credit is due for the prompt manner in which he caused the fellow to be ap prehended and locked up in the station-house for the night. On the following morning (Saturday), Mr. Perkins waited on the Rev. W.G: Cookesley, the senior assistant master of Eton, and a county magistrate, to determine on what steps should be taken in reference to this disgrace ful outrage, when the worthy magistrate, knowing full well the indignation which would be necessarily created throughout the sohool on its becoming known that an intuit had been offered to Prince Albert, their kind friend and liberal patron, and fearing the consequences which might ensue by bringing the prisoner to the ma gistrates' chamber at the time the students were out of school, the justices' room being situated nearly oppo site to the college, very wisely deferred the hearing of the case until three o'clock in the afternoon, at which time the whole of the students would be in church. Accordingly the matter was kept as secret as possible, and when the prisoner was brought before the bench in custody of police-constable Simms, there were only pre sent the magistrate, Mr. ' Sanders, the magis trate's clerk, a correspondent, ,and a few of the Eton polio,. Mr. sanders narrattittile facts above stated, and as no parties at this time were present from the Castle the worthy magistrate went into the charge preferred against the prisoner by Henry Simms, the policeman, for violence used by the prisoner towards him in attempting to get out of his custody, and also for obtaining money from the Etonians en the previous Thursday. The prisoner at once acknowledged the truth of the charge, and in reference to his disgraceful conduct to wards the Prince said that as he had not seen any of the Royal family for many years, and hearing that Prince Albert was passing, he merely ran into the road to salute his Royal Highness. He denied having made use of abusive and disgraceful language at the time, but would acknowledge that he had been drinking a little, and he might have flourished his stick, but he meant no harm. He further stated that he came to Windsor with the intention of enlisting into one of the regi ments in garrison there, he did not care which. That he had seen a serjeant of the 18th Royal Irish, and also a sergeant of the Welsh Fusiliers, who both con sidered his age (38 years) too old for the service. He also said he had served under Lord Gough, and had been in India 21 years in the Ist troop of Bombay Horse Artillery, and had gained three medals, two of which he had pawned, that he got 211. on his discharge, which he spent in a week on a spree. He had got a wife and two children somewhere, but he slid not know where. He was a native of Ireland ; his name was Mislich, and he had three brothers respectably settled in America, where he was anxious to go. The worthy magistrate, after a severe reproof, sen tenced the prisoner to one month's hard labour at Ayles bury gaol as a rogue and vagabond. It is not yet ascertained what steps will be taken against the prisoner in the meantime, with reference to his assault on the Prince. ATROCIOUS MURDER. LivsnPoor, Nov. 11.—In the little village of Clare morris, county Mayo, Ireland, lived a young man, of thrifty habits, named Maurice Prendergast, about 23 years of age. His father and uncle, who were both dead, had occupied the position of collector of tolls and Customs in the village, the duties of which office bad devolved upon him. His uncle had also a son, some years the elder of Maurice, small, like him, in stature, but of wild disposition and unsteady habits. When a youth, James ..E-Eseas Prendergast in a drunken freak mounted an unbroken horse, which threw him with great violence, causing an injury to his right leg, which left it bonding under him as if in a kneeling position, rendering it necessary that he should have a wooden leg. The cousins occupied separate cabins, but they remained on appa rently good terms with each other. There continued, however, to be a marked difference in their modes of life, Maurice being sober and saving, while his cousin was reckless, violent, and dissolute. For some time past it was known that Maurice was saving money with the intention of emigrating to America for the purpose of joining a relative who had gone out, and who was do ing well in the country of his adoption. When, there fore, about a month ago the Prendergasts suddenly dis appeared from the village no surprise was created, the belief being that they had gone out together. This be lief had assumed all the force of conviction until a fort night ago, when a sack, containing the trunk of a human body, the bead and legs having been severed from it, was found floating in a pond or " pit" a short distance from the prisoner's house. The sack contained several heavy stones, which had no doubt kept the horrible witness under water. The discovery naturally created great excitement in the village, increased to a greater pitch when the pond was dragged and another bag containing the ghastly head of the deceased, with the skull crushed as if by the blow of a hatchet, was brought to the surface. A further search re sulted in the discovery of the' legs, which had been thrown in without being wrapped up. The prisoner's house, the door of which, had been left locked, was broken open, and undoubted evidences of the fear ful tragedy were discovered. The wall against the fireplace was freely sprinkled with blood, leading the police to the supposition that the fatal blow had been dealt from behind, as the deceased was sitting by the fire, in all probability smoking his pipe. The floor wan stained with blood, and marks of blood were traced from the cottage to the peed. Two other strong circumstan tial evidences, amounting almost to conclusive proof of guilt against-the deceased's cousin, were also discovered. In the cottage was found a joint of the vertebrae of a human neck, which, on being compared with the muti lated remains of the deceased, was found to correspond ; while in a neighbouring cottage was found a hatchet marked with clotted hair and blood, which had been left there by the prisoner, who had been known to purchase it a few dais before the deceased disappeared. A warrant was immediately obtained against the deceased's cousin, and the inquiries of the police elicited the fact that he had left the neighbourhood about a fortnight previously, accompanied by a single woman, named Mary Connor, whose parents live at Westport, and that their probable destination was Liverpool, whence they intended to emigrate to America. Police-constable Atkinson, who had been for some years stationed at Claremorris, and was therefore well acquainted with the person of Pren dergast, came to Liverpool, and after a close inquiry, in which he was assisted by Head-constable M'Hale, con nected with the Irish constabulary force , he discovered that persons answering the description of the murderer and his paramour had been staying at the lodging-house of Mrs. Morne ' S a wney Pope-street, and afterwards at another lodgin g -house in the sane street, passing as man and wife. Fa' tiler inquiries furnished them with the infor mation that they had taken berths on beard the William Tapscott, which will take her departure hence to-mor row (Sunday) for New York ; th a t P ren d ergast, b e i ng a cripple, was afraid that he would not be allowed to land in the United States ; and that he had therefore been smuggled on board in a large box, as the luggage of Mary Connor. Armed with this intelligence, M'llale and. Atki nson this morning went on board the William Tapseott, lying in the river, outward bound, where they ascer tained that the man of whom they were in quest had but a short time previously made his appearance on deck, being unabl e l onger to rema in shut up in the box, the precaution no t h av i ng been taken to,, d make air-holes. He had be en se i ze d as a " stow-away" - Y just left the ship. In going through the ship Atkinson sent ashore in the steam-tug which had the young woman Conner, who w t cryingat she would be on deck, being under the mpression ne h st of the officers a reco h g a n t i e s r e l d y i r e a compelled to sail alone.
