It would be impossible for any Minister to receive a more friendly and cordial welcome from the people of another country than that which has been so readily and frankly accorded to Mr. RFVERDY JOHNSON. The spontaneous ebullition of feeling on the part of all classes and parties among which the American Representative has mixed since his arrival must have afforded him the most conclusive evidence of the hearty goodwill and interest felt by Englishmen with regard to his countrymen and their institutions. Mr. REVERDY JOHNSON, it is true, brought with him a great reputation for abi lity, for eloquence, for political and professional achievement, as well as for unimpeachable integrity and high-mindedness ; still the fact of his character being so well known by Englishmen shows how closely they have studied the daily records of Ame rican life. The irritation and mutual suspicion which prevailed at the time of the war has died out with marvellous rapidity. The Atlantic Telegraph has done much to bring the two great nations into closer relations, to awaken sympathies, to remove petty causes of misunderstanding, and to keep up that constant intercourse which forms the most powerful safeguard against rancour or reckless quarrels. A mist of prejudice formerly obscured the vision of the two nations, and distorted the Englishman's view of America and the American's view of England. Each side accepted the faults or extravagances of the other as samples of their na tional character without looking for the sterling worth and kindly feeling which existed in the background. Owing, perhaps, to his proverbial love of grumbling the Anglo-Saxon is not given to making the most of himself, and in spite of the American's habit of boasting he is most likely to show his worst side foremost. In this respeet English and Americans are very different from the gracious and p4usible people of some continental nations, whose profes sions exceed their practice. Now that matters are put on a better footing between the two peoples they are able to discover not only each other's good qualities, but the strong sympathy and mutual in terest which exist betweon them. The spectres con jured up by interested agitators who wished to make political capital for themselves out of public excite ment, or by those orators and politicians who are never so pleased as when they are indulging in gloomy anticipations and sinister auguries, are fast vanishing, and the entente cordiale between England and America pro mises to become something better and Founder than a good diplomatic understanding between govern ments—a union founded on the sympathies and convictions of the people. No Minister could have been more happily chosen to foster this favourable state of things than the new diplomatic representative who has come across to us from Washington. Mr. ADAMS, no doubt, understood and appreciated England, and was anxious to promote mutual goodwill, but Mr. ADAMS had filled his post through all the long and trying changes of the war, and was naturally associated with the angry feelings and mutual irri tations of the time. A fresh arri%'al seemed to break the sp2ll, an I both sides spontaneously laid aside the former doubts and suspicions, and, as if by a tacit understanding, celebrated the inaugura tion of a newer and happier era. The visit of Mr. BEVERDY JOHNSON to Leedz , yesterday was the occasion of a cordial demonstra tion in his honour. Ilis Excellency is staying with Lord Hot:Gums at Fryston-hall, and visited Leeds to inspect the Fine Arts Exhibition. At the station the party from Fryston were met by the Mayor and Mayoress, Sir ANDREW and Lady FAIR BAIRN, and twenty-two gentlemen of the Council of the Chamber of Commerce. The Mayor conveyed the illustrious guest in his carriage to 1 • COUNTER CLOTHS FOR LICENCED 1 VICTUALLERS. 1 VITE only article really suitable for that purpose, 1 fERCIIANT TAILORS and OUTFITTERS. .

TUE SUN, LONDON, _ THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 24, 1868 the Town-hall, where the Town Council were assembled, and a brief address was presented to Mr. JOHNSON. His reply expressed his hearty goodwill and deep sense of the cordiality and kindness of his reception, not in Leeds alone, but all through the kingdom. The identity of the two people is a favourite theme with Mr. JOHNSON, and he dwelt upon it earnestly and eloquently at Leeds. " The language," he said, " wherever spoken, whether spoken by an Englishman to an American or by an American to an Englishman, creates at once a feel ing of brotherhood ; and, speaking from personal experience, from the moment I put my foot on your shores—not even for the first time—l felt that, although in one sense I was in a foreign land, I was not a stranger. The shake of the hand reminds me of home ; the kindness with which I am met re minds me of home; the personal similarity I see around me reminds me of home ; and, above all, your feelings and sentiments of political liberty, which lie so deeply and so firmly as the foundation upon which your Government rests, remind me of home." The differences now existing between the two countries were, Mr. JOHNSON said, in his opinion, few and unimportant, and an amicable adjustment might be accomplished without tarnish ing in the slightest degree the honour of either nation. Later in the day the Executive Committee of the Fine Arts Exhibition presented Mr. Jo FIN SON with an address, to which he returned an an swer similar in spirit to the former, and he expressed his conviction that a war between England and America would be, in fact, but a repetition of that civil war which had desolated his own country. Neither side hal any occasion to prove their courage or their skill on shore or afloat, but were any such evidence needed England had showed in Abyssinia " that in the arts of war, of glory on the field, in the skill of your general, and in the bravery of your officers and men, you are not behind any nation in the world." The name of NAPIER is as well known and honoured in the United States as in England itself, and the humanity with which the war was conducted as remarkable as its military success. The arts of peace are being honoured at Leeds, and in the arts of peace happily both the United States and Great Britain seek their chief glory and strength ; in their development they may safely compete with one another, since such a rivalry will but serve to cement their friendship and their union. The annual gathering of the Huntingdonshire Agricultural Society took place yesterday at Rom sey. General PEEL, in returning thanks for the army, and in proposing the toast " The Chairman," expressed his regret that the occasion before them was probably the last in which the right hon. gen tleman would appear before them, as " politically associated" with the county, for he was sure that a more straightforward man never entered the House of Commons. Gen. PEEL, after alluding to the Aby ssinian Expedition, which he truly said would ever reflect honour upon the character of the British army for the " energy and exertions" which had distinguished it, he went on to speak of the " cost" of the army. He approached this subject with caution, however, because he remembered the warning of Mr. HENLEY, the other day, that the ground was covered with gunpowder. However, quite apart from the political part of the ques tion, the General put it to his hearers whe ther something under nine shillings a week was too much to offer to an able-bodied man in the prime of life, who was expected to serve for twelve years under circumstances of peculiar hard ship, subject to discipline unknown to any other class, who was liable to go at any moment to a foreign country and climate, and also to be shot into the bargain." It is well that so able and effi cient a judge has taken up this matter, and not being at present connected with the Administration General PEEL can speak with some independence on the subject. It is idle to expect that a man can serve as well if we do not pay him for services in a fair proportion and a just degree. The fact is, that in the confusion of the argument people are very apt to overlook the main chance, the best way to manage the army. The true way to regard the question is very justly put in this passage—" Any man who asks for a shilling more than is necessary to secure the efficiency of the army and the safety of the country is unwise, and he who asks for a shilling less is still more unwise. There is one mat ter for which no money can pay, and that is the honour of England." Lord ROBERT MONTAGU, in the course of a few remarks, said that it was very difficult, indeed, i a restrain oneself, and not talk on politics, when the whole country was " seething" in political agita tion, and some places boiling over with party zeal and animosity. The noble lord addressed himself, however, to a practical point unconnected with politics. The United States have just furnished us with an example of the manner in which the cattle plague should be dealt with. In many re spects the disease which has ravaged their conti nent during this summer has been similar to that which appeared among our herds. The manner in which this disease spread is quite amazing ; and in travelling from Texas the disease had to go further than from the steppes of Russia to London. The Americans grappled with the difficulty in their usual decided manner. The wholesale slaughter of infected cattle and the enforcing of most stringent laws respecting importation were carried out at Illinois. The fine inflicted in cases of default is a heavy one. The local authorities have power to stop cattle on the railways, and at Chicago, where the railways converge, most imperative rules were laid down. The supply sent to New York was cut off one-half, but that was wisely looked upon as a light evil in comparison with the greater evil to be avoided. The noble lord very properly animadverted upon the course taken by those among us who cited American manners and customs, but will not follow the example of Transatlantic prudence which has been set them. In refusing the suggestion of a se parate market certain members of Parlia ment have much to answer for. It is difficult to decide if their conduct was most distinguished for perversity or absurdity. The acuteness of the Americans puts them and tbeir shallow arguments to shame, and the more the subject is considered the more necessary does it appear that we should have a separate market at every port of landing. It is to be hoped that by the time next session arrives more extended views may be taken of this subject, and the general interest of the community override any particular privilege, for it is a question of vital importance to the public. Agricultural associations are now the order of the day, and on Tuesday the Ilighclere anniversary was celebrated. Some speeches were delivered by the Earl of CARNAP.VON and the members for Hampshire on the topics connected with the in terests before them. In reference to the recent harvest Lord CARNARNON said that in that, as" in other things, it was net an unalloyed good. While the wheat has been universally good the oa is and barley have been correspondingly bad ; ai,d the farmers have to consider what they can do to keep their stock during the coming winter. One comfort is that though the ground is so• hot rain may yet produce a supply of grass is get us over the year, late as the season is. It has been the fashion among some of the disciples of progress to sneer at the agricultural community, and therefore the observations here met with as to the requirements of the farmer may interest some. The life of the farmer, remarked the noble lord, is one of great vicissitudes, and calls for the exercise of high qualities. "He requires not only great patience, not only great energy at particular moments, not only great courage and great faith, but great powers of calculation and fore sight." The noble lord also drew a moral from the awful calamity which occurred the other day in Peru, and there is great truth in his saying that we must for the future feel sensible of the advantages that accrue from a temperate climate. It seems, indeed, surprising that men can be found to build cities and plant vineyards over hidden fires which destroyed their fathers, and will most likely one day or another destroy themselves ; but so it o k is, and we can only look on with wonder. It is surely better to dwell in a land like our own than in a country which is one day like the garden of Eden, and another a scene of fearful suffering and loss. It is, indeed, well to turn our thoughts occasionally in the direction of the blessings we enjoy, instead of for ever dwell ing upon the dark side of the picture, and consi dering the evils which are beyond control, and are, perhaps, occasioned by misfortune aad mis management. LATEST INTELL IGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) THE INSURRECTION IN SPAIN. MADRID, Sept. 22. According to the official Gaiette of this evening, General Novaliches has arrived at the north side of the Sierra Morena with eight battalions of the line, two regiments of cavalry, and four batteries of artillery. The official Gazette also announces that pronunciantientos have been made at Santander and Santona. The railway and telegraph communication has been cut and destroyed by the insurgents in Anda lusia. It is said that the insurgent General Serrano is advancing with a large force upon Cordova in order to have an encounter with the Royal troops. The town of Alcoy ha 3 pronounced against the Government. The excitement here is very great, and it is gene rally considered that the insurrection will be suc cessful. It is understood that, if the insurgents would agree to accept the Prince of the Asturias as King, the Queen would be willing to abdicate on condition of being permitted to carry on the Regency until the Prince's majority. The insur gent's, however, are opposed to any compromise, and their programme is the expulsion of the Bour bons, the convocation of a Constituent Assembly, and the establishment of a Provisional Govern- meut. Tae insurgent vessels of war are endeavouring to cause the seaport towns to rise in revolt. It is rumoured that Ciudad Real has made a pronunciamiento. The Court has not arrived here. There is a panic on the Bourse, and great agita tion prevails at Barcelona. - The telegraph wires are being worked only for the service of the Government, and the mail service is carried on with great difficulty. ST. SEBASTIAN, Sept. 23. General Novaliches, who is placed in command of the Royal forces in Andalusia, after having en tered the town of Cordova, proceeded towards Seville. The vessels of war manned by the insurgents in the Bay of Ferrol are said to have proceeded to Corunna to attempt to raise a revolt there, but were unsuccessful, and returned to Ferrol. Count Girgenti has arrived at Madrid. Tranquillity is stated to prevail throughout Cata lonia, Aragon, Valencia, the Two Castilles, and Madrid. PARIS, Sept. 23. The following official telegram has been received from St. Sebastian : St. Sebastian, Sept. 22. " General Novaliches, with considerable forces, has effected a junction with General Bailen, and is marching into Andalusia. Order has been re established at Cordova. " General Inestal is ma r c h ing on Santander and f tn o t u o r n a o , f t b h o e t h r e o v f 0 i w u h t i i o c n h towns have pronounced in . " The insurrection has miscarried in Alicante. " The insurgents of Ferrol presented themselves before Corunna and invites the town to join the movement, but they met with a refusal from the Captain-General, who was enthusiastically cheered by the soldiers of the garrison. Cheers were also given by the soldiers for the Queen. " The generals in the other parts of Spain con firm the statements that tranquillity prevails." The Figaro of this evening says that the insur gents are masters of the Puerta del Sol, at Madrid, anl that barricades have been raised in the streets. According to the same journal, the Marquis d'Ar migo, a relative of Marshal O'Donnell, is a member of the Revolutionary Committee in the capital, and General Concha is negotiating with him with the view of inducing the insurgents to agree to a Regency until the majority of the Prince of the Asturias. The Patric confirms the intelligence that the Queen is still at St. Sebastian, and adds a rumour that her Majesty will pass over on to French ter ritory. The same paper states that the Minister of the Interior at Madrid has sent an official commu nication to Paris, Lyndon, Berlin, and Florence, to the effect that private telegraphic communications with Spain are for the present stopped. The Patric denies a rumour of the establishment of a Provisional Government at Aladri I, and the departure of General Concha from that city. It also contains a despatch from Lisbon stating that the events in Spain have produced no agitation in Portugal, and says :--4i We consider the situation of Spain very serious, but less serious as a fact than a symptom. We regret that the Queen has not returned to Madrid. The French Government is not indifferent to what is occurring, but it is not for it to act, and it will await the cours3 of events." The Gaulois states that the news of the rising in Valencia is confirmed, and says that General Serrano, General Prim, and Senor Olozaga will, it is believed, be appointed members of a Provisional Government. The France of this evening announces that orders have been issued for French ships to hold them selves in readiness to proceed to the coast of Spain, but adds that this step has only been taken with the object of protecting the interests of French sub jects. The Epoque says that the Bourse was somewhat firmer at the close in consequence of a rumour that General Prim has been arrested by troops faithful to the Queen. The Galllois of yesterday contains the following account of the insurrection in Spain : The movement progresses rapidly. The first signal was given by the steam frigates Villa de Madrid and Zaragoza, and five other large ships and all smaller vessels stationed at Cadiz seconded the movement. The importance of the insurrection of these war vessels may be comprehended. With them the re volution governs the coasts, and can everywhere spread the movement. On the other hand, the moral effect of a pronunciamento by the fleet, an aristocratic and much-thought of class, which has never taken any part in the political disorders, is extraordinary. As yet it is not known whether Cadiz has fallen into the hands of the revolutionists, nevertheless such may be predicted, since a despatch which arrived yesterday evening said textually, "The insurgent generals at Cadiz are advancing towards the interior." On the other hand official reports state that last evening Cadiz was in the hands of the Government, and that the Governor Boutigny had determined to defend the place. It is stated that Carthagena had also revolted. Yesterday Gerona raised the revolutionary stan dard, and Colonel Baldrich, the Commander-in- Chief of that part of Catalonia appointed by Gene ral Prim, is said to be actually at his post. The prestige enjoyed by that officer is well known, who last year carried on the campaign for two mouths agAinst 30,000 men. A body of 14,000 men is operating against Valla dolid and Guadalajara, and prevents the return of the Queen to Madrid. General Contreras has arrived in Galicia, and has placed himself at the head of the insurrection in that province. Count Girgenti has left Paris to place himself at the head of his regiment in the Spanish army. We are able to announce that the programme of the insurgents contains three chief points :-- 1. Expulsion of the Bourbon dynasty. 2. A provisional Government. 3. The convocation of a Constituent Assembly to decide sovereignly on the future destiny of Spain. Such is the programme of the Progressists and the Unionists, who have coalesced ; while on the other side the Carlists, who for a long time have given no sign of life, are preparing to enter on a campaign under General Cabrera to the cry of " Vive Charles VIII." PARIS, Sept. 24. The Moniteur, in its bulletin of this morning, publishes the following news from Spain : Although the reports show that an insurrec tionary movement has broken out in different parts of the country, they nevertheless afford proof that the rebellion has hitherto been unable to make serious progress anywhere, chiefly owing to the atti tude of the people. There have merely been military demonstrations. Captain-General Manuel de la Concha passed through Madrid yesterday. He reviewed the troops in the capital, and expressed his satisfaction at the loyal spirit which seemed to animate them., AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF TIIE NEW YORK. (Via Queenstown.)

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, WEDNESDAY, September 23. The Constitutionnel has given up the " see-saw " between peice and war, and has left the Spanish revolution to take care of itself, whilst it laments over the perversity of the Brussels Congress of Working Men. It is particularly hard upon the English delegates, who advocated strikes in cases of necessity, and especially a general strike through out Europe, supported by common funds. There is very little to be said against the Constitutionnel's conclusions; for a strike throughout Europe would not be a laudable expedient, and the semi-official journal may well be afraid of such a catastrophe. It would undoubtedly put the social machine out of order in France more than in any other country. A strike in Paris, Marseilles, and Lyons even would give the Emperor much trouble. The Constitutionnel may be sympathised with, though the cause of its fear is remote. But I must object to the semi-official paper taking Broadhead as the representative of English workmen, and prophesying that a general strike would lead to crimes similar to his. It does not appear that he was, after all, a very common type of the British workman, and it is essen tially a deplorable circumstance that the Sheffield outrages have carried such an impression abroad. The Constitu tionnel seems to think that the English working " practical men" would lead the van of a general strike to mutilation and murder. It forgets certain passages in French history which go to prove that even Broadhead has his equals. Again, the semi-official paper believes that the realisation of liberal ideas is not now the pro gramme of the International Association, that they have not abandoned the chimera of 1848, and that revolution is still their chief aim. Whether this is true or not of con tinental workmen I shall not say ; but against English workmen it is a libel. British workmen care nothing for revolutionary ideas, and are less embued with the love of politics than is generally supposed. The chief and ruling object of their unions, and of the deeds of Broadhead like wise, is material gain, shortening of hours and increase of wages. Whether the means they use are justifiable is very questionable ; of the end they have in view there can be no doubt whatever. The idea of the Constitutionnel that British workmen are leading a project to revolutionise Europe, is the result of sheer ignorance. Of the insurrection in Spain, all that can be said is that it stands pretty much where it did. The papers here are fighting over the prospects of the movement, but a little time must elapse before they can be fully calculated. The money market is rather doubtful, and hesitation prevails, but there is none of the panic which a gloomy article in an official paper would excite. The insurrection excites the greatest interest here, hut it produces no political effect whatever. The prospect of French intervention is not seriously regarded anywhere. The public meetings held here are almost wholly con fined to the one engrossing subject of the employment of women. It appears that an attempt will shortly be made on behalf of the fair sex to gain some portion of political power—with small chances of success, it is true. How would the Minister of the Interior manage the women voters ? The state of Algeria is the source of serious anxiety to the Emperor and his Ministers. The clanger of a famine still more deadly than that of 1867-8 is alarming. At Tlemcen the deaths are already ten times the number of the births. The inquiry made by Count Lehon has had the most unsatisfactory results. 111. Rouher is much impressed by the imminence of the danger, and the Emperor is disposed to make some concession to the demands of the colonists. The inefficiency of the military government is undeniable. It is thought possible that a Legislative Assembly and a civil administration will be granted, at least in part. The Emperor, it is said, is not indisposed to grant Algeria a species of self-government similar to that of the English colonies. But this sous reserve. It is hardly likely that a colony would obtain more liberty than the main body of the empire. MacMahon is not friendly to reform. The collectors of curiosities may preserve worse material than the following two neat things. Amongst the mar riage publications is announced the union of Mdlle. Vertu with M. Misere The marriage of virtue with want is a social irony which delineates an age by an accidental juxtaposition. The second is not an accident, but a sublime effort of impudence. A few days ago a suite of rooms was advertised as having amongst its attractions a splendid view over a fine garden adorned with numerous sculptures. On application at the address given it was found that the garden adorned with sculptures was—the Cemetery of Mont Parnasse. The Minister of Fine Arts is about to convoke the poets and musicians to a united effort. A new national and patriotic hymn is wanted. It is thought that " Portant pour la Syrie " has done its duty, and the conclusion is not without reason. The " Marseillaise" is not, on account of its history, greatly relished in official spheres. Some altogether new—probably to celebrate the three elections Ant gained—is required. THE WEATHER TABLE.-THIS DAY. ZIETEOROLOGICAL RETORTS. Extreme Sea Thursday, H.Vg . F. I Sept. 24, B. T. W. Ito F.

Much uniformity exists in barometrical pressures in the S. and W. of our islands, but they are somewhat lower than they were yester day: there has been a diminution of nearly one-tenth of an inch at most stations. The lowest pressnres are in the N. At Toulon an in crease of nearly three-tenths is shewn, and readings at southern stations are about two-tenths higher than the northern. Tempera ture in our islands is generally lower. Moderate winds between N. and W. prevailed yesterday: this morning winds are generally light from th e same quarter. In the B. of England calms are reported, whilst in the W. of France the wind is moderate from the S.W. Rain has fallen generally during the last twenty-four hours—most on our N.E. coast. Fog and mist prevail on the S. and E. coasts. A thunderstorm occurred last night at Cape Gris Nez. The sale of the ecclesiastical property still goes on, and the disposal is effected upon very good terms. But the benefit arising from the application of the immense sums thus realised is not, so far, very apparent. In the country it is generally regretted that the vast resources which the ecclesiastical property has thrown into the hands of the Ministers have been received and have disappeared in small instalments without leaving any perceptible traces of ,gold. It was hoped that such a vast subsidy would effect a great lightening of the national burdens. The object of the con fiscation was to relieve Italy from her financial embar rassment, and the people are complaining because their hopes have not been fulfilled. It is, however, yet too early to conclude that the good expected will never be realised. Philip Cordova, the Sicilian deputy who is just dead, was considered the most brilliant speaker in the Italian Chamber. He took a prominent part in the Sicilian revolutionary movement of 1848, but, after the return of the Bourbons, went to Piedmont and joined Cavour and Farini. He afterwards entered the service of the Pied montese Government in a humble capacity, but rapidly rose. He held office as Minister of Agriculture and Com merce in three Cabinets, twice under Ricasoli and once under Rattazzi. The Independanee Be7ge thinks the rising reported from Sicily must consist chiefly of local disturbances and isolated attempts. All the information which it receives from Florence shews that Italy is making rapid progress in the organisation of the interior and the strengthening of the union. The Moniteur, however, deities the rising altogether. The Russian police have arrested, at the city of Lcezyce, in Poland, an individual who, the Liberlj says, is believed to be an agent of the Court of Rome. He had succeeded in entering the country by means of an Austrian passport, but an Italian and a French passport, under different names, were also found upon him. In Poland he had been observed to visit only members of the clergy, the majority of whom were already "suspected" by the Russian police. A document in the Latin language, which had also been found upon him, led to the conclusion that he was commissioned by Cardiral Antonelli to draw up a detailed report on the situation of the Catholic clergy in Poland. It is known that direct communication between the Polish clergy and Rome is not permitted. o t 9 TOT (trirmlar HER MAJESTY. BALMORAL CASTLE, Sept. 22. The Queen, accompanied by Princess Christian, went out yesterday morning, and in the afternoon her Majesty drove to Alt-ua-Guithasach with Prin cess Louise and Princess Beatrice, attended by Lady Churchill. The Right llon. B. Disraeli had the honour of dining with her Majesty and the Royal Family. ANGLO-MEDITERRANEAN TELEGRAPH• MALTA, Sept. 23. The steamer Scandinavia, with the remainder of the new Malta and Alexandria cable and the working staff, arrived here to-day. She will leave with the steamer Chiltern, to commence paying out immediately upon the arrival of Sir Samuel Can ning., The expedition will be attended by her Ma jesty's steam frigate Endymion, and the surveyiag steamer Newport. EXPLOSION AT METZ. It is no new observation that there seems to be curious fatality about the autumn in the matter of explosions. Last year there was the sad accident in Woolwich Arsenal ; in 1866 there was the ex. plosion of gun cotton ; in 1865 the explosion at Erith. These accidents all occurred, if we are not mistaken, early in successive Octobers. Now, late in September, we receive accounts of the terrible disaster at the cartridge factory at Metz, w hich, measured by the loss of life and suffering which it has occasioned, far surpasses the three English accidents put together. Indeed, we scarcely know as yet the extent of the calamity. Oue report states that twenty-six people were killed and some seventy wounded ; another report estimates the dead at over forty. But, in any case, it is quite clear that the disaster has been a very awful one; and, if we may judge from the rather vague and uncircumstantial accounts which have reached us, a great deal of blame must attach to those wh° were responsible for the management of the factory. The great number of girls and workmen engaged in one building and involved in one common risk is au arrangement in itself open to grave censure. If to this we add that a very large quantity of gun powder—in the form of partially completed car tridges—was in the building together (as it would appear, although this last point seems almost in credible) with some exposed fulminate, we have 3 condition of things about as reckless as could well be conceived. It scarcely needed the "larking" of a pair of unhappy girls, or the throwing of a pair of (steel ?) scissors, to precipitate au exple' sion which might have been regarded as inevitable sooner or later. Since the explosion in Woolwich Arsenal a change has, we believe, been made in th e system of manufacture by which any accident en a large scale seems to be quite secured against. Th e , percussion cap is not fitted into the cartridges un til after they are filled ; and as the cartridges aft er filling are proof against explosion en masse, the ac cidental explosion of a single cartridge is attended with no serious consequences. And by thin arrangement it is impossible for even a loose Per cussion cap, much less any loose fulminate, to ent eer into the same buildings as loose powder or half finished cartridges. We commend this simple precaution to the notice of the French Government, observing, howev er ' that although it would greatly diminish the risk, it would not in the case of the Chassepot cartridges altogether obviate it, as it does with us. For it la improbable that the Chassepot cartridge, which le merely covered with thin paper and silk gauze' If 4 stout enough to resist explosion en masse, and ° ', / s l a explosion in a filled cartridge even might thu s 'is' attended with serious results unless some extra pre' cautions were taken. These extra precautio ns readily suggest themselves. In th e fi rs t place, t he number of operatives in any one building blle ul `: be reduced to the lowest number which maY t., deemed practicable. Work should only be c arried on on the ground floor of a building, and all build i; l iugs used for this purpose should therefore b e single storied. The buildings should be isolated; and I may even be desirable under some circumstances to separate them by traverses. Further, the quan tit Y,, of powder (or filled cartridges) in a b uilding any one time should be as small as is consistent with the proper progress of the manufacture. Finally, the cartridges might be rendered tempo"j rarily or artificially secure against explosion is bulk by means of stout separations between th e workpeople, a system now adopted in m ost of our well-conducted lucifer-match manufactories, anal)," which the risk is limited to a single operative working within his partition or cell. By precautions like these the manufacture of cartridges containing their own ignition may be conducted without any apprehension of a great ho locaust of human beings, such as that which has just shocked France. Minor accidents win pro bably be inevitable to the end of time. But the accidents under proper management may be re' duced within very moderate dimensionsinde t t Unhappily, however, the ge neral conduct of t c h o o n u tin h e t n fu ta l l d arsenals i tion. s .o not Our r f this own cautiousoxpe rexperience c e a an d thou establishments, acquired a few years ll: ell e/ oi l ; the reverse of favourable ; and we were re a t e informed years—an that matte opinion rs h d have w h io not or much ive s u i Ttprroovge of l firmation from the accident at Metz. As regards the liability, or non -liability, act:. Chassepot cartridges to explode en nzasse—ouL t i 3 tridge being ignited by another, and so on---;ut a point on which we can express 1:1 0 c °l3 0 opinion. We know not what e xperinlen ts ._t a lf been made on the subject ; but if the exPl °s lt o i.. one cartridge in a barrel is liable to be coal_ tr u tic _ cated to the rest, as, judging from the e 01 . 1 , 5 _ , wo tion of the ammunition, seems highly probablU have an additional and very strong obje ction to the use of so-called " self-consuming" cartridges. le sing army may in this way be deprived by a accident of its whole reserve of ammunitio n lo say nothing of the loss of life which suchexP d i n g sions may occasion. Our own breech-I: tuo cartridges, as is well known, are not l iable sort of wholesale destruction. - of ° I- It is impossible to explode a barrelful v. __ b y ridges by firing one cartridge within it, or e r exploding a considerable quantity of povvde__ o ol o in it. And this security we regard as indisperli in the case of cartridges containing th h ei to v elements of ignition ; its absence oug accepted as a sufficient condemnation of system. ___-,....0.=.......
