--- THE VOLUNTEER REVIEW, frnis year's Easter Monday Volunteer Review' ha 'teen held at Portsmouth, with all the éclat that t;ne most brilliant weather, perfect punctuality, and adm'xing thou sands could add to what was a beautiful arid imposing display. The great success of the proceedi.ngs admits of no question, and there is a unanimous t o opinion that not only has there never been a better, but there has, truly speaking, never been one so good. Flom first to last there was no hitch or delay of any kind. Never was a very elaborate programme adhered to with more minute exac titude as to the very minutes of the times specified. The railway took the men down with unexampled r apidity and good order. The last corps were in Portsmouth earlier than they have ever reached A ny Easter Monday rendezvous before, the positions assigned to them were ample and convenient, and all were well before their time. The march-past was finished almost at the minute it was calculated for. The defenders reached the Hilsea lines with equal punctuality. At.a quarter to two the sham fight was expected to begin, Arai to occupy two hours, and at a quarter to two it did begin, and at a quarter to four it was over, and the men and spectators were leaving the heights. In short, it was from first to last the most signal success which the dis cipline and organisation of the volunteers have ever yet achieved. PORTSMOUTH IN THE EARLY MORNING. The early morning was full of promise for the success of the day. By six o'clock the sun was shining over the town and harbour, and little steamers were ou their way across from Hyde conveying volunteer corps and large numbers of men, women, and children to witness the national review. The Portsmouth people were all astir, and crowds were making for the railway station to await the arrivals of the riflemen from London. At and about the station there were bustle and excitement which must have convinced the most malevolent croaker that the inhabitants were determined things should go well. At the end of the Cambridge-road, the main thoroughfare from Landport to the High-street, a very ambitious triumphal arch had been erected. It was formed of timber, and the crown was at least eighty feet from the ground. The top was surmounted by two monster lions. The sides were decorated in sections of bright colours. Spanning the pavement right and left were smaller arches, springing from the main structure. Every other house along the Cambridge-road hung out banners and streamers inscribed with words of welcome to the volun teers, whom the Portsmouth people, in all the festive de vices of the occasion, united with the army and navy as " England's Defenders." At the suburban end of High street there were another arch and some four-and-twenty flagstaffs, bearing shields with the arms of the town and various heraldic compliments addressed to riflemen. This arch was covered with evergreens, with which garlands were intertwined. Close to the Government-green there was a third arch of a less elaborate character, but also very handsome. No fewer than forty-eight trains arrived within the short period of two hours and a half. The first left London about half-past four, and reached Portsmouth by half-past seven o'clock. The last of the metropolitan corps was landed by ten. This was a result which no one had ventured to hope for, and it proves that to so impor tant a point of our defences as Portsmouth any number of men that could under any circumstances be required might be brought from all parts of England within a very few hours. At seven o'clock the first of the Hampshire corps entered the town, marching by High-street and the Grand Parade. The instant the band was heard the bells of numerous churches rang out their peals of welcome, and people flocked from all quarters to raise a cheer as the troops approached the guardhouse on the parade. The officer in command of the regulars at this post turned out his men, and rendered the military honours of a salute to his volunteer brothers-in-arms. From the Isle of Wight and other places in the neighbourhood other corps followed in rapid succession for fully two hours, during which the guard on the Parade was almost constantly presenting arms. This compliment, which the volunteers appeared to appreciate in the right spirit, was paid to every body of riflemen that passed. THE MARCH PAST. Precisely at ten o'clock a gun was fired as the signal for the general body of the troops to brigade on the glacis and prepare for the march past. Such of the men as had dis persed for refreshment were back in their places by this time, and immediate attention was given to the signal. The arrangements on the Common itself were admirable. The portion occasionally used as a racecourse was railed off for the troops. Outside the rails, on either side, were lines of spectators. Half way between the point of entry from the glacis and that of exit, at the opening of the Portsdown•road, was the saluting point, with ample stands to the right and left, to which ladies and gentlemen were admitted on payment of a tolerably high tariff of charges, graduating according to the position. They were well filled by a company which included very many officers in uniform, who, with great heartiness, cheered the volunteers as they came by. Just before the march past was commenced the cavalry were drawn up on the right of the guns, and at eleven o'clock the order was given to advance. First came the cavalry, entirely composed of volunteers, and con sisting of the Bucks Light Horse. In their grey uniforms, round hats, and twisted feathers, they looked remarkably well, and they had not an indifferent horse among them. They were followed by the Taplow Cavalry, Lancers whom it is not easy to distinguish from the Lancers of the regular army. Whether, in these days, the lance is a very useful weapon of attack or defence is, perhaps, more than questionable; but there can be no question whatever of the picturesque appearance of Lancers, and at Portsmouth the Taplow men elicited much admiration. Immediately after the Volunteer Cavalry came a field battery of the Royal Artillery, and next two battalions of the Marine Artillery, numbering over 1,000, and after them a pontoon train. The fine bearing of the Artillery of the British service is proverbial. The Marine Artillery are less known to the public at large, and therefore their appearance yesterday was a novelty to the mass of the volunteers, as well as to vast numbers of the spectators. They are a splendid set of fellows, and either in the march past or the manuvres no corps shewed to greater advantage. The marching of the 35th and 97th Regiments was also capital, and the men were loudly cheered. Of the volunteers, some corps distinguished them selves even in the eyes of the military officers present ; but in more than one instance the marching was positively bail, and the awkward attempts at dressing-up as the saluting point was approached were anything but cre ditable. The spectators at Portsmouth were not so demonstrative as those at either Brighton or Dover, but they were more critical, and when a corps did not acquit itself to their satisfaction some very audible and by no means complimentary observations came from the stands. The number of volunteers on the field at Purtsdown, when all were collected, was about 23,000. Of these, 16,000 defiled en Souttsea Common ; and neither at Brighton nor at Dover was the marching past ground comparable in picturesque effect to that of Southsea Common. THE SHIII FIGHT. The mimic battle was fought with wonderful precision as to time and distance from beginning to end. Shortly before two the fight began. The enemy—that is, the attacking party—had massed their divisions strongly on the hill, where their artillery of position was stationed on the summit of the ridge. The forts were harmless for offensive purposes, for they were conceded as captured, and their guns were all turned the other way. The struggle began by the advance of a powerful body of skirmishers in line against Hi!sea, who were too strong for the garrison outposts, which, after holding some thickets and hedges to give time for their supports within the lines to assemble to their aid, were at last driven back a short distance. This, however, was the only triumph of the poor enemy throughout the day, and it was of the very briefest Jura. tion. After the first alarm had spread, the whole lines of Ililsea bristled with thousands of troops. Up and down, far and near, the line of fire spread, and soon from out of quiet nooks and little shady clumps of trees, where no one dreamt that guns lay lurking, the artillery began to roar. As it did so, the attacking force replied in turn, and the guns became more and more vehement as the rifles ceased. For some time it seemed, in spite of all programme, as if the assailants would have the best of it, for their guns dominated every part of the lines, and their fire was quick and sustained, not only from all the ridges, but from the park-like clumps of trees which hem in the pretty little village of Wymering. But now a new thlroillcr came upon the scene, and from the sea came the danger of the assailant,;. Up the narrow creek, over which the tide was now at its full, came the Stork and Fancy gunboats, towing the large launches and cu t ters of the Terrible, Gladiator, Victory, Duke of Wellington, Royal Oak. and Pallas, each carrying a rifled gun at the bow s , and each with wall-armed crews. The fiz-e which they instantly poured into the right wing of the enemy at once deciilCl matters. A rather hasty retreat, therefore, 1:1;." m line 9 back to 10,1 cling both lit and left n cn:nt of 17, ti fit v:11 yciermg c r 3 to their ri fi ,n~a. '0 sooner had they made this mlvernent than the garrlsou made a general sortie, and commenced en attack with vigour which drove all before it, They literally swarmed from all the works of the lines, and almost as instantly as they reached the open the skir mishers were thrown out, reserves placed ; and a rapid advance made against the enemy. It was almost won• derful to see the rapidity with which the force poured forth, find the ease and precision with which they formed up their ranks, even while advancing. At one part of the Liles the bridges were not sufficient to eve eases to the forces in the manner which the emergency demanded, so a pontoon bridge was formed across the creek. It would scarcely be credited, but this bridge was constructed and fit for the passage of infantry within ten minutes from the time of its commencement, and within fourteen minutes after artillery passed over it. The sortie from all parts of the garrison now became general, and in such masses that the enemy were borne down and had nothing left them but to recall their skirmishers and supports, and, leaving a thin line in thickets and hedgerows to annoy the 'advance, concentrate their strength in the villages of Cosham and Wymering. The taking of these villages was one of the most animated parts of the whole day's programme. For the first time the volunteers fought in the streets and amid the houses. Every foot of ground was contended for in alleys, houses, and stables, and the scene as, with all the village windows crowded, the enemy was driven from point to point was most exciting. In its hurry and rush and storm of noise it seemed as pure a battle as was ever fought, but without its carnage. At the end of the village ~f Cosham the enemy made a fierce stand, and for a time held the upper part of the little hamlet, but they had lost enough ground then to give their assailants room to deploy, and column after column opened out against them. The artillery got into positions commanding every spot in the village, while between Wymering and Cosham the skir mishers and reserves were pushed forward so as to completely divide the two positions,' and get in the rear of the latter. There was no help for it then but a hurried retreat, and the instant Cosham was lost the main London road was lost with it. Up to this, sheltered by the village, great columns of the now assailants were hurried to turn the right flank of the enemy. The style in which the volun teers responded to this call of a rush to the front was most creditable. Though they might well have been considered as tired out by what they had already gone through, and though the heat was great and the dust stifling, still they came in great masses along the London road at the rate of more than six miles an hour. Wymering was occu pied. with less resistance, for, with the rising tide, the gunboats had come so close as to drive the enemy from every part of it ; besides the loss of Cosham at once neces sitated a retreat from Wymering, and not only that, but a change of front along the Portsdown hills to meet the attacking force, which, by the possession of the London road, had quite turned their left flank, as their right had been turned by the fleet at Wymering. The volunteers did this admirably. The sight was now, as a mimic battle field, one of surpassing beauty. The enemy were ranged in masses of lines between Forts Wilder and Southwick. The light wind kept the smoke away and broke the clouds of dust which marked the rush of infantry and artillery from every point. Gun after gin as it got into position began its roar, and the lines of infantry, now deployed in front of each other, maintained a file fire that was absolutely deafening. For a long time the enemy, though always going back and losing ground yard by yard, maintained a desperate defence, and the uproar of cannon and rifles was terrific. In the midst of this great din and clouds of smoke, and rush of guns and troops, the 97th and 35th Regiments of the Line, with a powerful force of RA-al Marine Artillery, were brought quickly up the road on the enemy's right, and the latter force, advancing in splendid order, came into action against the flank of the eaemy with their breech loaders. It would be impossible to give an adequate idea of the effect of this fire for rapidity. It seemed an incessant volley, and the general impression was that troops armed with the muzzle-loader would have no more chance against breech-loaders than if they were armed with bows and arrows. Under this fusilacle, which struck with astonishment all who heard it, the enemy were supposed to wither away, and it being then a quarter to four, the time agreed upon, the bugles were or dered to sound " Cease firing," and the greatest and the most successful review the volunteers have ever had was brought to a close. The dispersal of the various brigades and corps and their breaking up to march off from all parts of the ground to their various rendezvous were almost as brilliant sights as any afforded by the varied manoeuvres of the day. It is gratifying to be able to state that the casualties were very few indeed. One man had his hand injured by a cartridge, another his hand injured by a ramrod. There were two medical cases—one of palpitation of the heart, and the other of exhaustion. Twenty trains had been kept ready at the station to bring the volunteers back from Portsmouth. The first of these trains left at 5.35 1.m., and the last got away by a quarter-past seven. THE MYSTERIOUS DISCOVERY AT HACKNEY. The police have been rather confounded than satisfied .)37 the identification of the body of the man found on Thursday last in the house in Elgin-place, Hackney Wick. Dr. Ellis, who stated that the deceased was an escaped lunatic, who had been for some time confined in the St. Luke's Asylum, has now had his statement confirmed by a relative of the missing lunatic. On Monday a Mr. Heas- man, of Great Percy-street, Claremont-square, Penton ville, went to the mortuary and examined the body. He is positive that it is that of his brother, who was confined in St. Luke's Asylum. He states that the deceased was possessed of a competence, and well connected. He was extremely fond of athletic sports, was an admirable runner, and great at swimming, being only second to the champion swimmer of England. In October 1566, owing to his having shewn symptoms of mental aberration, he was confined in an asylum. On all points but one he was perfectly sane. His delusion consisted in the extraordi nary belief that he had been poisoned and was dead. He was a married man, and has left a widow and eight children, the eldest being only fifteen years old. But there are other claimants for the body. It has already been made known that a lady had identified tha body as that of her husband. This lady is stated to be Mrs. Mary Ann Banks, of York-road, Kingsla,nd-road. She declares that the deceased was her husband, that his name was Ebenezer Clarke Banks, and that he was a com mercial traveller, employed by a spirit merchant. When she first visited the mortuary, she described the body very minutely before having seen it. Her description was not only accurate ao to the general features, but she made special mention of a peculiar mark upon one of the fingers; and on the police-officer looking at the finger he was asto nished to find that peculiar mark on the finger of the de ceased. On Monday she visited the mortuary again, being then accompanied by two sisters. As the post-mortem examination had been commences, they were not per mit ted to examine the body for some time. They walked about until the doctors had completed their work, and then were permitted to enter. Mrs. Banks was again positive about the body being that of her deceased hus band, and her sisters very strongly corroborated the statements which she made. The post-mortem examination was made by Mr. Gant, pathological anatomist to the Royal Free Hospital, who was ass;sted by Dr. Powells. Dr. Ellis and other medical gentlemen were also present. The stomach was removed and placed in a jar fcr purposes of analysis. No state ment has been made respecting the results of the post mortem examination. The bottle which was found in the cupboard in which the body was discovered had a Knall quantity of a yellowish liquid in it, which will be sub jected to analysis. A lady has called at the Hackney Police-station and sheaved a photographic portrait of a missing relative of hers, which is said to bear a far more striking resemblance to the deceased than did ei th er of two photographs which have been produced by Mr. Heasman as portraits of his brother. The lady was, however, assured that the body had been already identified, and therefore could not be that of her missing relative. No opportunity was afforded to her of seeing the body. The deceased appears to have been about 35 or 40 years of age. His hair is dark ; it is, indeed, almost black, the beard and moustache being slightly tinged with grey. The will, with one codicil, of Sir Richard Digby N ease, Bart., late of Dagenham Palk, Essex, and N o . 78, F.ccleston-square, who died at the last-named place on the 10th ult., was proved on the oth inat„ at the Principal Registry of her Majesty's Court of Probate, by Sir Arundel Nea,ve, Bart., the son, the executor named in the will, and Wyndham Slade, Esq., barrister-at-law, the son-in-law, the executor namcdi is the codicil. The personal property is sworn under 1-!5',000. A letter has been published which Captain Mackay wrote before he left Kilmainham Gaol. If an expression of sorrow would gain his freedom to-morrow, he " would not so violate his feelings as to express regret for the performance of what be felt was a conscientious duty." He admits that the Government had a right to protect itself and uphold its power "by convicting and imprisoning all who sought its overthrow," and, fate having been against him, he "intends to adapt himself to circumstances, and strictly to obey the rules of whatever prison he may be in." The letter is exceedingly well written. THE HORRIET.r. DEATH AT WIGAN WORRHOTJSE. —The death caused in this workhouse by the carelessness of an imbecile named Catherine Dawber, in immersing an infant in a tub of boiling water, has resulted in the Poor-law Board sending down an inspector to report on the case. That official says that the accommodation for infants is smaller than it should be ; but he does not advo cate the appointment of a paid nurse so long as a proper superintendence is exercised by the matron, The inspector expressed his strong disapproval of the conduct of the late matron in allowing an imbecile to have the care of an infant, He is also of opinion that the medical officer should give his advice in regard to the diet and clothing of infanta, and as to the warmth aml yentilatAq4 the room in which they are placed, THE GOVERNMENT EDUCATION BILL. Owing to the Parliamentary turmoil and the disturbance in the public mind, consequent on the declaration of opinion on the part of so large a majority in the House of Commons as to the existence of the Irish Establish ment, the momentous question of national education is for a while put on one side. But the interests involved in the maintenance of denominational education are too grave not to receive, even during the present agitated session, considerable attention. It is not at all unlikely that on the character of national education a party warfare may also arise. For educational schemes are closely connected with the politico-religious principles which will form the staple of discussion during the remainder of the session, and which will have to be fought out on the hu . stings. It is to be feared that the supporters of secular education will aim at postponing a present settlement of this ques tion, in the hope of strengthening their position and of increasing their influence in the new House of Commons. The Government Educa tion Bill, introduced by the Duke of Marl borough, is a great improvement upon Mr. Bruce's Bill—a rival scheme enjoying the support in the House of Commons, although it does not humour them to the top of their bent, of the secularist party. The following are the chief points of the Duke of Marl , borough's Bill :—" The building grants are to be restored to the original slim of four shillings per square foot ; aid is to be given to purely secular schools ; schools under uncertificated teachers, satisfying certain conditions, are to participate in the Government grants to the extent of two shillings and eightpence per head for each subject, reading, writing, and arithmetic; a new Secretary of State is to be appointed as a Minister of Education, and an alteration is to be made in the existing Con science Clause." The denominational character of education is to be preserved, for the proposed Conscience Clause enacts that " all questions connected with the nature, amount, and character of the religious instruction to be given in any school, towards the erection of which a building grant has been made, shall be decided exclusively by the person or persons who may be invested with authority in that behalf by the clauses in the trust-deed relating to the management thereof, and nothing in this act contained shall authorize the Secretary of State or any other person to interfere therewith." Then follows a provision, under which only the Con science Clause comes into operation—namely, if the school be the only public elementary school available for the education of poor chil dren residing within a convenient distance. In that case it enacts that—"No child residing within the assigned limits shall be excluded from the school or deprived of any of its bene fits or privileges on account of the religious persuasion of the child or of his parents and guardians, or on account of the withdrawal of such child from any part of the instruction or worship of the school. No such child shall be compelled to attend any Sunday school or place of worship as a condition of week-day instruction, and any parent or guardian may withdraw such child from any lesson, form of worship or religious service, upon giving notice in writing to the principal teacher that he objects thereto on religious grounds." Such a Conscience Clause as this, which does not restrict as to time, or limit the amount of religious instruction to be given in denomi national schools, is an improvement, but still it carries with it the vice of a compromise. Its effect is to encourage secular education, so far at least as regards the minority frequenting the school under the protection of the Con science Clause. Why should the State, to whom the religious education of all its subjects ought to be a matter of the highest moment, act so as to encourage an education void of religious instruction as far as the minority dissenting from the religion taught in the only available school within reach is concerned? This minority is entitled to receive a denomi national education. But by offering to the dis sidents an education secular as far as they are concerned, the Government practically destroys the denominational principle. It does more. It entices parents to make light of denomina tional instruction. It plats temptation in their way to sacrifice religious conviction to temporal advantage. The Conscience Clause then, however modified, is an encouragement to religious indifferentism. In every parish, therefore, where only one school is available, Secularism under shelter of the Conscience Clause is triumphant. Were, however, purely denominational schools alone supported by Government aid, a spur would be given to reli gious zeal, and increased efforts would be made on the part of minorities to establish schools of their own. It is another question which we cannot now enter upon, how far the State in its educational provisions ought not to extend its nti ue ms a i bw d e hr s o o a e oci s i considerably nfd t o na, l ) e st s e shpeoonos school possessing according he to the present standard, are deprived of Govern ment aid. We again take this opportunity of recom mending to our readers a pamphlet, recently published by the Rev. Dr. Vaughan, in which the various theories concerning popular educa tion in England are treated with fulness, and with singular clearness and precision. The question of national education, like the question of the Irish Church, will bring out many conflicting opinions. Both are questions involving grave principles, and in such ques tions, compromise, superficial agreement, the raising of false issues, are unspeakably mis chievous. Such methods produce disunion where union is most necessary, and weakness, where strength is most wanted to meet the enemy "at the gate."—Westminster Gazette. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRI L 14, 1868. RI7UALISM AND lIIE ENGLISH LAW. About a twelvemonth ago we drew our readers' attention to the famous " opinions of counsel" upon the legality of the pr o ce e di ngs of the Ritualists, which, like the dropping shots from the outposts, gave warning of im pending battle ; we pointed out the probable line of attack and defence, and the kind of interest Catholics must naturally take in Pro testant principles being recognized or ignored by our national law. After the usual prelimi nary skirmishes, the first pitched battle has now come off, and may be characterised as a drawn battle, the assailants having failed to carry all the positions they attacked. We are, therefore, not surprised to learn that both par ties are reorganizing their forces for a fresh and decisive conflict. The point of law involved in the case really lies in a nutshell. It is simply whether the acts complained of, viz., the use of incense, of lights, and of the mixed cup and the elevation after the consecration prayer, are, or are not, to use the language of the Privy Council, in its judgment in Westerton's case, " compa tible with and subsidiary to" what is enjoined in the Anglican Prayer-book. On hearing, then, that the judgment of the learned Dean of the Court of Arches took four hours and a half in the delivery, we naturally at once anti cipated that, whatever might be otherwise its merits, we should not find in it a precise or luminous exposition of the law. The anticipa.. tion was by no means unfulfilled. In fact, when the learned Judge, forgetful of the stern and dry rule enunciated by the Privy Council, " We sit here simply to interpret Acts of Par liament"—launched out into citations from the Fathers—investigations into the usages of Catholic antiquity—into th e b e li e f o the Anglican " Reformers " and of " holy " Bishop Kerr—it was evident that he was quite at sea in the matter. When he came to the pith of his judgment, and laid down that in his opinion the use of incense was not even indirectly sub sidiary to the rites appointed by law, he did not even assign a single reason for his opinion. That an act intended to add solemnity to the more solemn parts of a sacred rite is not subsidiary to sucli rite, it is difficult to under- , stand. Still more difficult is it to draw a dis tinction between the burning of incense and the playing a voluntary upon the organ—be tween an appeal to the sense of smelling and that of hearing. And yet such a distinction must be drawn, because the Privy Council, in the case already mentioned, ruled that any in terpretation of the Statutes or Rubrics that involved the unlawfulness of the organ was manifestly absurd. Had Dr. Phillimore de voted but a small portion of his four hours and a half to explaining these difficulties and inconsistencies, we of the outside public would know better where we stand. His decision on the other points is open to similar objections. He makes no attempt to reconcile his prohibi tion of elevation and of the mixed cup with the emphatic repudiation by the Privy Council of the principle previously laid down by Dr. Lushington, that in the interpretation of the Rubrics, " what is not enjoined is prohibited." Yet it is wholly upon the absence of such injunctions that he bases his prohibition. As we proceed, we get still more bewildered by one of the :- - iost singular blunders over perpe trated by a judge upon the bench. Dr. Philli more delivered his judgment affirming the lawfulness of altar-lights, under the delusion that the, perhaps, most extraordinary statute of the most extraordinary sovereign England ever saw—that which conferred on the pro clamations of the King the force of law — had never been repealed. The blunder has been, of course, pointed out in the press with the well-founded remark that it deprives this part at least of the judgment of all moral weight. As we have already intimated, an appeal is to be made to the Privy Council upon this last-mentioned point, and, doubt less, the whole case will be then reviewed, and the state of the law finally determined. Although these questions may appear at first sight not directly to affect Catholics we must remember that, in truth, a formal national repudiation by law of any Catholic doctrine or usage is an offence against God for which the nation is answerable, and which the nation, including ourselves, and, perhaps, pre-eminently we our selves will ultimately have to expiate. We cannot conclude without pointing out the singular illustration furnished by those ecclesiastical causes of that mysterious but real power—the power of the genus loci. In the judicial committee of the Privy Council, a court created by Act of Parliament, a dry, hard, technical spirit reigns ; the lords of the council are lawyers, and nothing more. In our old ecclesiastical courts, on the other hand, whether presided over by low-churchmen like Dr. Lushington, or high-churchmen like Dr. Phillimore, by men more, or by men less anti- Catholic, a different spirit prevails, a more religious, a more theological tone and temper, no trace of which is perceptiblein the Privy Council. They never seem to forget that they are sitting as ecclesiastical judges, that they represent a prelate who claims to be successor of St. Augustine and St. Thomas. Strange, that the shadow, as it were, of those great saints and martyrs, the founders and cham pions of these ecclesiastical courts, should seem still to be cast over them.—Westminster Gazette. 711 E GATLING GUN. The invention of this gun gives to the world a new class of fire arms, differing more essentially from other systems than the revolving pistol from a flint-lock musket. There is not a single piece, except the barrels, which make up the component parts of the Gat ling gun, that is like that of any other fire-arm ; and the principle upon which it is constructed is entirely different from that of all other arms. It may be justly termed an " automatic machine gun," for it can be loaded and fired incessantly, and at the rate of three hundred shots per minute; and, strange to say, it can only be loaded and fired when the barrels are in motion—that is to say, when the barrels, inner breech, and the locks are under revo lution. All the cartridges are loaded and fired within the rear ends of the barrels, and there is no escape of gas at the breech ; nor has the gun any recoil to destroy its accuracy. These several re sults are not attained by any other fire-arm. In all other arms known as " Mitrailleuse" the barrels and locks do not revolve, and in order to fire, the cartridges have first to be loaded up into the chambers, or plates, which are detached from the barrels, and, as a matter of necessity, the cartridges used have to be fired across a joint. Moreover, there is an interval between each discharge, owing to the time it takes to change and reload such plates, as is the case in the 46 meudon gun," or French " Mitrailleuse." These intervals between each volley allow an enemy to advance upon and capture the gun, or to cross its line of fire between each discharge ; while the Gatling gun loads and fires all the time, giving an enemy no chance to advance or to cross its line of fire. Metallic are as they come from the manu factory,Gatling gun, as corn is fed cartridges, fedo the to a mill, and the firing goes on as long as car tridges are supplied, and as long as the gun is made to revolve. When tEe gun is once sighted at a given object, thousands of shots can be fired, with the greatest precision and without any change of its range, but its aim can be changed in an instant, at the will of the operator, to bear on any object. The first Gatling gun was made in the year 1862, in the city of Indianapolis, State of Indiana, U.S.A.—the home of the inven tor. The arm attracted great attention from all military men who witnessed its operation. In the year 1863 the inventor had a battery of six guns made at the well-known manufacturing establish ment of Miles Greenwood, in the city of Cincinnati. About the time the arms were completed, the fac tory, with the guns, was destroyed by fire. The inventor afterwards had 12 guns (of six barrels each) made at Wells' Type Foundry, in Cincinnati, some of which were sold to the United States' Government, and were used successfully by General Butler against the rebel forces near Richmond, Virginia, during the American war, and greatly astonished the rebels, who inquired of the Union gun it was " which loaded forces aunig w ht hat an k d ind o fired f all day." These were, however, greatly inferior to the present Gatling gun. It was not until the year 1865 that the in ventor perfected his invention so as to load the cartridges directly into the rear ends of the bar rels indeed, it has cost him large sums of money and five years of thoughtful labour to bring it to its present high state of perfec tion. Trials of the gun were made before the United States' Ordnance Department at the Washington Arsenal in the year 1865 with a gun of small calibre. These trials were so satis factory as to induce General Dyer, Chief of solidpartridges o f l Ordnance, to request the inventor to construct guns °ll a taining many small balls, or pound in weight, and a t th e on his system of one-inch calibre, which would use onemetallic ball same time General Dyer ordered Colonel S. V. Benit, the commandant of the Frankford Arsenal at Philadelphia, to construct machinery to make the large metallic cartridges. In the mean time the inventor had eight of the large size Gatling guns manufactured at C o oper's Firearms Fabric, in Frankford, Philadelphia, which were taken to the arsenal and submitted to repeated and prolonged trials under the direction and supervision of Colonel Benit, and full reports of said trials were made by him to the War Department at Washington, giving a very satisfactory account. After the experiments had been concluded at the Frankford Arsenal, the inventor took three of the large guns to the Washington Arsenal, which were there repeatedly tired in the presence of the Board of Officers for examination of Breechloading Arms, of which General Hancock was President. Generals Grant, Dyer, Hagner, and Mr. Stanton, Secretary of War, and a great many other persons of distinc tion, witnessed the trials of the guns, and were highly pleased with the results of the firing. General Dyer then ordered one of the guns to be sent to Fortress Monroe to be used in competing trials with the 24-pounder flank defence howitzer. The result was greatly in favour of the Gaffing gun over that of the howitzer as a flank defence arm. After the aboire trials had been concluded at Fortress Monroe the United Sta tes Government, notwithstanding the war was then over, and all the Government arsenals were full of L rms, gave an order for 100 Gatling guns (50 of each size), all of which have been since made at Colt 's armoury in the city of Hartford, and delivered to ti 'le United St a t es G overnment, and are now in the Un ited States servi ce . T wo o f t h e Gat ling guns were exhibited in the Ame r i can depart ment of the Path' Exposition, when they we re s ee n and admired by thousands of persons. During the Exposition, one, of them was taken out of the building, and a trial of its powers made at the target grounds at Versailles. The result led to the purchase of two of the guns for further trials, and during the last few months the arms so purchased have been repeatedly fired at the Polygone at Versailles, at the targets placed from 1,000 to 2,400 metres from the guns, with the most satisfactory res ults. At one of these trials his Majesty the Emperor and the Minister of War were present. Tht, Gatling gun has been tried during the past year at Vienna in the presence of the Emperor of Austria, and other high officials; at the city of Berlin, in the presence of his Majesty the King of Prussia; and at the city of St. Peters burgh in the presence of his Majesty the Cz fr of Russia. Trials have also recently been made at the Hague, Holland, and before Government officials of many other Governments of Europe—all of which have been very satisfactory, and orders have been given for the guns, in greater or less numbers, by most of the leading powers in Europe. It is confidently believed that so soon as the ex traordinary effectiveness of the arm shall have become fully known that there will not be a single Government, either in Europe or in America, but what will adopt and use this death dealing engine. No gun has met with such univer sal favour ; it has only to be seen and fired to convince all intelligent men of its great superiority as an implement of warfare. The guns are now manufactured at Colt's Armoury, in the city of Hartford, Connecticut (U.S.A.), in the highest state of perfection, by machinery constructed ex pressly for the purpose, so that each and every part of the same will be interchangeable. The use of this arm will have a tendency to lessen the number of men required in war. A few men with one or two of these weapons will do the work of a regiment. The gun does not eat, nor will it get sick, but is always ready for effective service. In future it will not be so much a question as to the numbers of men as of machine guns that will enable na tions to win victories. The right to this valuable invention is owned by the Gatling Gun Company, who have their offices in the city of Indianapolis, Indiana, U.S.A. They have their agents in Europe, who are fully authorised to receive orders for these guns.—Anglo-American Times. PROGRESS OF IMPEACHMENT. On the 23d ultimo the citizens of Washington again pressed towards the Capitol. The weather was glorious, the sun shining brightly through the crisp cold air, iu which could still be traced the breath of winter. Yet the crowd was not so great as on former occasions, when people splashed through the mud below and the drizzle above, or when they faced the howling snow-storm. The Re presentatives were in attendance to support their Managers, and the galleries were filled as before, for though the crowd was less outside, it consisted of those who were now hopeless of securing admis sion. Sambo was again excluded, and again the fair sex filled the front row, beyond all proportion outnumbering their brethren. Nor is this surpris ing in the face of the story told of a lady who routed up a Senator at midnight and declared to the half-dressed and half-awakened lawmaker that she would not leave the house until he promised her a ticket. Of course the unfortunate Senator had given every ticket he had away, and it required a wide-awake man to meet the circumstances. Im pudence and perseverance, however, secured thei r usual reward, and to quiet his persecutor he was obliged to take forcible possession of a ticket he had already bestowed on another. At one o'clock the Chief Justice entered, and 'Mr. Wade, calling the Senate to order, vacated the chair. The managers came in after the usual proclamations, seating themselves to the left of the clerk's desk, and the Representatives followed, taking the chairs provided behind those of the Senators. Mr. Doolittle was sworn, and after the minutes of the previous meetings had been read, Senator Davis, of Kentucky, submitted a motion that the Southern States being unrepresented, the Senate was incompetent for the trial. But he and his colleague from Kentucky, the new Senator M'Creery, Were the only two that re corded their votes iu its favour. The Chief Justice did not allow the question to be debated, merely taking the votes. It was clear that the Kentucky boys were ill-advised in this move, for if the Senate was not properly constituted, they were members of an illegal body, and both had been acting illegally in pretending to pass laws for the United States ; what would render the Senate illegal would equally apply to the President, by which we would arrive at the absurd conclusion of an illegal Court trying an illegal culprit for infringing an illegal Act. The Democratic members, however, voted against this absurdity, which so far shows that the question, even if raised, will have no weight. Mr. Stanbery then rose and presented the President's answer to the indictment, which he regretted was not so complete as counsel desired, in consequence of the short time given for amplification. But if long windedness is favourable to a case, the columns upon columns which made up the document ought in all conscience to have been sufficient. If this was the result of 10 days, the Senate may congratulate themselves that they did not allow 30, or they would have had to sit there till midnight before counsel finished. The reading was begun by Mr. Curtis, and finished by Mr. Stanbery. Mr. Johnson replies to each article in succession, answering the first by quoting the Acts of Congress organizing the Department of War, and detailing the manner in which Stanton was appointed by Mr. Lincoln, asserts he never received any appointment from the present Administration ; de clares the Tenure-of-Office Act to be unconstitu tional, and that, even if constitutional, it does not affect Stanton's case, a point which is argued at length, and he deduces from this that the President had the right to remove Stanton, and in attempting to do so committed no wrong. To this he adds thb statement that his oath of office made it his duty to remove Stanton, as the public welfare did not, lit his judgment, admit of his longer remaining Secre tary of War, and he denies that in doing what he did he violated any law, or committed any misdemea nour or impeachable offence. Several of the subse quent articles are founded upon this .same act of the President, and in answer to the second article the President declares that when Lorenzo Thomas was appointed, a vacancy existed in the War De partment; in answer to the third, he argues that the appointment of Thomas as Secretary of War, ad interim, was not an appointment which it was necessary to submit to the Senate ; in answer to the subsequent articles, to the eighth inclusive, he de nies any conspiracy, or any intent to hinder the execution of the laws, or any design to get unlawful control of the records, money, or other property of the War Department. The ninth article, which charges an attempt to secure insubordination among army officers, is answered at length, and the Pre sident details his version of the conversation with General Emory to show that he never did or in tended to do as the article charges, and declares that he, the President, is Commander-in Chief of the Army by the Constitution. In answer to the tenth and eleventh articles, which refer to his speeches, he denies that the reported versions are correct, or that he ever intended to set aside or bring into disgrace the rightful authority of Con gress. lie asserts that he has always recognized the authority of Congress, and has enforced its laws ; that he has deemed it his duty to veto some Acts, and submit to Congress his reasons therefor ; and with reference to his right of free speech which is thus attacked, his answer says " He has, from time to time, in the exercise of that free dom of speech which belongs to him as a citizen of the United States, and in his poltical relations as President of the United States to the people of the United States, upon fit occasions, as a duty of the highest obligation, expressed to his fellow-citizens his views and opinions respecting them as such and the proceedings of Congress, and that in such addresses to his fellow-citizens, and in such his communica tions to Congress, he has expressed his views, opinions,and judgment of and concerning the actual constitution of the two Houses of Congress, without representation therein of certain States of the Union, mid of the effect that, in wis dom and ju-tice, in the opinion and judgment of this re spondent, Congress, in its legislation and proceedings,should give to this political circumstance, and whatsoever he has thus communicated to Congress, or addressed to his fellow. citizens or any assemblage thereof, this respondent says was and is within and according to his right and privilege as an American citizen, and his right and duty as President of the United States ; and this respondent, not waiving or at all disparaging his right of freedom of opinion and of freedom of speech, as hereinbefore or here inafter more particularly set forth, but claiming and in sisting upon the same. Respondent, further answering the said tenth article, says that the views and opinions expressed by this respondent in his said addresses to the assemblages of his fellow- citizens, as in said article or in this answer thereto mentioned, are not, and were not, inte..ided to be, other or different from those expressed by him in his communications to Congress ; that the eleven Status lately in insurrection never had ceased to be States of the Union, and that they were then entitled to representation in Congress by loyal representatives and Senators as fully as the other States of the Union, and that conscluently the Congress as thou constituted was not, in fact, a Con gress of all the States, but a Congress of only part of the States. This respondent, always protesting against the unauthorised exclusion therefrom of the said eleven States, nevertheless gave his assent to all laws passed by said Congress which did not, in his opinion and judgment, violate the Constitution, exercising his constitutional authority of returning bills to said Congress with his objections when they appeared to him to be unconstitu tional or inexpedient." The answer is signed by Andrew Johnson, Henry Stanbery, B. R. Curtis, Thomas A. R. Nelson, William M. Evans, and W. S. Grosbeck. Mr. Bingham, for the managers, said they would ask the House at the earliest opportunity for a replication, and hoped to file it to-day, so that the trial could proceed at once--.a statement that caused some sensation throughout the Senate. the President's counsel then asked for 30 days after the filing of the replication to give them time to prepare for trial. This was resisted by the managers, and, after argument and an ineffectual attempt to postpone it, was rejected by the Senate by a party vote of 11 to 41. The counsel then asked for " reasonable time" to prepare for trial, and Senator Reverdy Johnson moved that they have ten days, pending which motion the Court adjourned till next day. On the morning of the 24th the House discussed the replication presented by the managers, which was as follows : "The House of Representatives of the United States have considered the several answers of Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, to the several articles of impeachment against him by them, exhibited in the name of themselves and of all the people of the United States, and reserving to themselves an advantage of exception to the insufficiency of this answer to each and all of the seve ral articles of impeachment exhibited against said Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, do deny each and every averment in said several answers, or either of them, which denies or traverses the acts, intents, crimes, or mis demeanours charged against said Andrew Johnson in said articles of impeachment, or either of them, and for replication to the said answer to say that the said Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, is guilty of the high crimes and misdemeanours mentioned in the said articles, and that the said House of Representatives are ready to prove the same." In the course of the debate it was admitted that this had been prepared before the answer of the Presi dent had been heard, and it was published before counsel had finished reading that answer. Being adopted by the Representatives, it was carried by the managers to the Senate, and at one o'clock the Chief Justice from the chair called the Impeachment Court to order, the attendance being little less than upon the preceding day. Mr. Boutwell, on behalf of the managers, presented the replication, and after it had been filed Mr. Reverdy Johnson again moved to allow the President ten days to prepare for the trial. To this Mr. Sumner objected, offering the amendment, " that the Senate at once proceed with the trial, day by day, unless otherwise ordered." The Court adjourned to the ante-cham ber, and remained for nearly two hours in hot debate, the fight being between the moderate and extreme Republicans. On the return of the Court, the Chief Justice announced that it had decided to to proceed with the trial on Monday, March 30 ; that is, the President was granted six days delay. While the Senate was in Secret Session, the Presi dent's counsel and the managers of Impeachment freely mixed together on the floor of the chamber. fhe managers have examined Generals Hancock and Gordon Grainger, and it is reported that every member of the Cabinet will be summoned as wit nesses by the President. Among them will be Mr. Stanton, who will be compelled to acknowledge that he pronounced the Tenure-of-Office Act to be unconstitutional, and that he wrote a portion of the Message accompanying the President's veto of that Act. It will be a curious event in the history of this trial if it be shown that Mr. Stanton advised the President to disregard the Act, and if he be im peached and removed for following this advice in Mr. Stanton's own case. Judge Black withdrew from the President's counsel for a reason we have elsewhere given, and which is far from telling in his favour. The two new counsel, W. M. Evarts and Mr. Groesbeck, of Cincinnati, appeared. Mr. Fessenden and several of the Conservative Repub lican Senators supported the motion for a delay of ten days, and the vote reducing it to six only passed by 29 to 23. The managers asserted that they would close the prosecution in four days, a promise, the cable informs us, they nearly kept, for on Monday, the 30th, the trial prcceeded, and last Saturday, the 4th inst., the case for the prosecution was concluded, and the Court adjourned till the day before yes terday, when Judge Curtis opened the case on be half of the President. VANDERBIL7 v. DREW. (From the Anglo-American Times) There is an article in the Nation which throws a flood of light on the Great Erie War. The most important and profitable railroad traffic in the United States, and, as we last week explained, soon to be the most important in the world, is that be tween the city of New York and the great West. The general freight business passes over the roads that connect the eastern end of Lake, Erie with the Empire City, of which there are two—the Erie, running in a south-easterly line through New York State and New Jersey to Jersey city, and the New York Central, from the Lake, almost due east to Albany, where it divides into two branches, called the Hudson River and the New York and Harlem, both connecting with New York city. The Har lem was of all lines the most mismanaged in the United States, and was brought to the lowest depth of disrepute, when CORNELIUSVANDERBILT stepped in and saved it. That gentleman had acquired a fortune by managing large steamship lines with skill and economy. Conceiving the idea of retriev ing the Harlem by applying the same rules, he pur chased at a nominal figure a large portion of the shares, and his friends following his example, he was enabled, at the first meeting, to get himself and his nominees elected directors, and assume the entire management of the road. The result answered his expectations. Regular divi dends were paid ; the stock rapidly rose, and is now seldom in the market. The New York Cen tral maintained an intimate connection with the Hudson River line, and as most of the freight came from the West, the lion's share of the traffic passed over that road. Mr. VANDERBILT, instead of the ordinary competition, adopted the bold mea sure of buying up the Hudson River Road, and thus settling all disputes. His own wealth had been largely increased by the rise in the Harlem stock, and his friends, encouraged by this success, backed him in the enterprize. The majority of the shares were purchased, and when the shareholders met to elect directors, Mr. VANDERBILT'S was found to be the controlling influence. Both branches were now in the hands of this monopolist, who was then brought face to face with the more powerful interest of the New York Central. The lines, when under sepa rate control, had fallen a prey to the Central ; united, they dictated the terms. But the mastery over so powerful a corporation was not to be gained in a day. The struggle was severe and protracted, and Mr. VANDERBILT was again compelled to adopt his former policy, and eventually succeeded in buy ing up the majority of the stock, voting himself into the Presidency and assuming the control. In doling with thin got line Mr, VANDERBILT was aided by many of the old stockholders , who were dissatisfied with the extravaganc e and corruption of the former direction, and en' couraged by the success which had attended this Railway King's operations. Thus by these grand moves this gentleman obtained the whole control of one of the Grand Trunk roads between Lake Eri e and New York city. But these successive victories only brought him to the gate of the citadel. 'l e control the traffic with the West he must control the Erie, and to do that he must defeat the re' doubtable Mr. DANIEL DREW. In Mr. DREW b e met an antagonist of almost equal ability, exper t ' ence, shrewdness, and wealth. If Mr. VANDER . BILT succeeded in absorbing the Erie he would the° be in precisely the same position with regard to the lines running west from Buffalo, as that in whic h , he had bee n pl ace d towards the New York Centr al when he secured the two roads between Albany 110(1 New York. Thus a great interest was a t onc e thrown into the scale agab.st him. Nor was tt ie all. The most gigantic monopoly ever know° would be in Mr. VANDERBLLT'S hands if he site. cecd2 I in the project. Mr_ WASHBURN, of W ie j consin, said in the House, that VANDERBILT 1118 55 that there should be but one management of t he roads between New Y or k an d t h e Great West, and that he thought it fortunate that no man could life, over a hundred y ears , o th erw i se he believed that VANDERBILT would own th e wor ld d ur i ng t h e neat fifty years. A large portion of the public honestil believe that such a monopoly would eventually be. injurious to the interests of the nation, li ° matter how well-managed i n th e fi rst i nstance , a°' with these materials a very powerful oppositio° was formed. On the other hand VANDEftaa T received a great a ccess i on o f strength from the old shareholders of the E r i e , w h o b e li eve d that the management would b e vas tl y i mprove d u nder his control, and wh o wou ld g l a dl y see Mr. DREG ousted, considering th a t h e h a d wor k ed the roa d for his private ben e fit, an d no t f or the shareholders 5 t large.
