HEADS OF THE NEW REFORM BILL. .11-1 - Conjectures are plentiful as blackberries in season who long for the subject of the New Reform Bill : of the many parties change some idea may be formed when it is announced that, of three hundred proposals, scarcely two are alike. Of course they all want a change, but the precise quality of that change is different. They all want a change for the better , a nd each has his remedy for present evils, and his provision for fu ture g ood. We need hardly say are scarcely two that are at all comportable with each other. They all call it an extension of the franchise. We like to see the reformers begin by reforming themselves, and if they see an evil which they can of themselves cure by a little personal risk or sacrifice, let them do it. When the population of this country almost groaned under the heavy burdens imposed on the articles of dress, and it was difficult for men of limited income to appear in decent clothing, Messrs. E. MOSES and SON devoted an immense capital to effect a reform. There were only two heads for their Reform Bill: first, that in future clothing should be made better, and of better materials, than they had ever been; and, second, that the price should be re duced one-half; and perhaps they were the only men who could carry out the reform in the face of thousands of tailors whose trade it injured, or rather whose extortion it checked. Ever since they determined to reform the system of clothing, and put it into every man's power to dress better than before, and at half e price, the public have been saving to the amount of millions Land now let anybody and everybody step into the Monarch Mart, or the West-end Branch Establi.hment, and see the materials from all parts of the world made up in a style which no firm in London could equal, designs which none but their own artists could produce, neatness and strength of workmanship which none but their own admirable staff of the best men in Europe could attempt, and it will be at once ob served that they have effected a much greater public benefit by their reform than ever Lord John Russell could. Let his Lordship try to reduce the price of anything wanted by all classes to half, and en sure it better, as E. MOSES and SON have done dress, and we shall be delighted. At present Messrs. E. MOSES and SON'S Reform is the most substantial E ofthat has and been attempted. .

The paper read was, "On the Application of Machinery to the Manufacture of Rotating Chambered-Breech Fire-Arms, and the Peculiarities of those Arms," by Colonel Samuel Colt, United States, America. The communication commenced with an historical ac count of such rotating chamber fire-arms as had been discovered by the author, in his researches after speci mens of the early efforts of armourers for the construc tion of repeating weapons, the necessity for which appears to have been long ago admitted; and with the attention of such an intelligent class, devoted to the subject, it is certainly remarkable that, during so long a period, so little was really effected towards the pro duction of serviceable and trustworthy weapons of this class. The collections in the Tower of London, the United Service Museum, the Rotunda at Wool ' wick, Warwick Castle, the Muses d'Artiilerie, and the Hotel Cluny, at Paris, ze well as some ancient Eastern arms brought from India by Lord William Bentinck, demonstrated the early efforts that had been made to produce arms capable of rapidly firing several times consecutively, without the delay of loading after each discharge. Drawings of these specimens were exhibited, comprising the match-lock, the pyrites wheel-lock, the flint-lock, down to the percussion-lock, as adapted by the author. Among the match-lock guns some had as many as eight chambers, rotating by hand; and the length of the chambers, as well as the thinness of the barrel, showed the bad quality of the gunpowder at the pe riod of their construction. Some of the pyrites wheel-lock guns had also us many as eight chambers, and rotated by hand; one of them, made in the 17th century, had the peculiarity of igniting the charge close behind the bullet, burning backwards towards the breech; an arrangement identical in principle with that of the modern Prussian "needle gun," for which great merit has been c l a i me d. Th e fli n t locks induced more determined efforts, but all were abortive, as the magazines for priming, and the pan covers were continually blown off on the explosion of the charge. Indeed, from the earliest match-lock down to the present time, the premature explosion of se veral chambers, owing to the simultaneous ignition of the charges, from the spreading of th e fi re a t th e i r mouths, had been the great source of difficulty. In some of tha most ancient specimens orifices were provided in the butt of the barrel for the escape of the bullets in case of explosion, whilst others had evi dently been destroyed by this action. In a brass model of a pistol of the time of Charles 11., from the United Service Museum, there was an ingenious at tempt to cause the chamber to rotate by mechanical action, in some degree similar, but more complicated, than the arms constructed by the author. The " Coolidge" and the " Collier" guns, both flint guns of comparatively modern manufacture, exhibited the same radical defects, of liability to premature explo sion. The invention of Nock's patent breech, and the Rev. Mr. Forsyth's introduction of the deto nating or percussion guns, which latter principle,with the necessary mechanical arrangements for the caps, was essential to the safe construction of repeating fire-arms, constituted anew era in these weapons; and the author recognising the peculiar wants in a coun try whose inhabitants were constantly moving on wards towards new settlements, where the pioneers were required to protect themselves and families by their personal prowess, frequently against fearful ine quality of numbers, from the attacks of the aboriginal Indians, whose peculiar mode of warfare could only , be coped with by rapid and repeated firing, it was na tural that attention should be directed to the pro duction of self-acting repeating arms. The author, being fully cognizant of these wants, but entirely un aware of any previous attempts to produce such weapons, made a series of experiments on skeleton fire arms, which were very successful ; but subsequently he fell into many of the errors of his predecessors, for by covering the breech and the mouths of the chambers, simultaneous explosion of se veral charges constantly occurred. This in duced the restoration of the arms nearly to their original skeleton form, and the result was the production of the present perfect arm, which has been so universally adopted in America, that the author's large manufactory has proved quite insufficient to supply the demand. The means for manufacturing these arms on so a large scale was the main point of the paper; for, unlike the system adopted in England and on the continent, of making firearms almost en tirely by manual labour, the several parts comprising these weapons are forged, planed, shaped, slotted, drilled, tapped, bored, rifled, and even engraved by machinery, to such an extent that 10 per cent. only of the value of the arm was for hand labour in finish ing and ornamenting; DO per cent. being executed by automaton machines, guided by women and children, whose labour was represented by 0 per cent., leaving 80 per cent. for the machinery. The action of these machines was described ; and it appeared that though, like a cotton or flax mill, the manufactory at first sight appeared intricate, yet that each part travelled independently through its course, until at length the finishing workmen had only to put the several parts together, almost indiscriminately, ind the uniformity was so precise, that lit tle or no fitting was required beyond removing the " burr," or rough edge left by the machines, This was a point of great importance, especially in a country of such extent as America, here the neces sity for sending arms from ono district to another for repair might be attended with serious consequences. The arms now manufactured by the author, and of which numerous specimens were exhibited, were of the simplest construction ; the lock consisted of only five working parts contained in a lock-frame cut out from the solid metal, into which the breech arbor was firmly inserted, and by it rigidly attached to the barrel in such a manner as to regulate, with the greatest precision, the contact between the end of the barrel and the mouths of the cylinders, so as to pre vent any serious escape of lateral fire. The rotating of the cylinder was accomplished by a self-acting lever, to which motion was given by the act of draw ing back the hammer ; at half-cock the cylinder was free to rotate in one direction for the purpose of load ing and putting the caps on the nipples, the former operation being rapidly accomplished by the con version of the ramrod into a jointed lever, attached to the barrel, by which means the bullets were rammed home so securely, that no patch or wad ding was required. The grooves in the barrel were of a peculiar spiral, commencing almost straight, near the breech end, and terminating at the muzzle in a curve of small radius. The bullets were either of cylindrical, or conical shape ; and from some diagrams of several practice targets sent from Woolwich, by Colonel Chalmers, R.A., for exhibition at the meet ing, it appeared that, even by men unaccustomed to the use of this particular arm, great precision of firing could be attained, as with a small revolving belt pistol, at a distance of fifty yards, out of forty eight shots, twenty-five bullets took effect, within a space of one foot square, and of them thirteen hit the bull's-eye, which was only six inches iu diameter; the whole number of shots striking the target. This was the first American communication that had been brought before the institution, and it was received with acclamation ; and in the discussion which ensued, in which the Hon. Abbott Lawrence (United States Minister), Captain Sir Thomas Hast ings, R.N., Captain Sir Edward Belcher, R.N., Cap tain Riddell, R.A., Mr. Richards, Mr. Miles, and the members of the council took part, the most flattering testimony was given to the efficiency of the Colt re volvers in actual service, and the strongest opinions as to the necessity of their use in all frontier warfare ; and that without this arm it was almost impossible, except with an overwhelming force of troops, to cope with savage tribes. From the diagrams on the wall, and the ancient arms exhibited, it appeared that the necessity for the principle of repeating arms had been admitted from the earliest period of the use of gunpowder ; but all the attempts at constructing them usefully had been frustrated by certain mechanical deficiencies, which Colonel Colt had, after long trials and experience, succeeded in remedying, and had eventually produced by machinery an arm which, for simplicity of con struction, uniformity of its parts, and efficiency of action, was unequalled. It appeared also singular, that many of the modern repeating arms, which had been recently brought forward, contained most of the fatal errors of construction, so clearly shown in the paper, to have prevented the perfecting of the ancient arms, and that nothing but long experience on active service could have enabled Colonel Colt to discover those errors, and to adopt those chuiges, minute and simple as they might appear, which had finally pro duced so effective an arm.

The latest dates by this arrival are—Havannah, Oct. 24; Chagres, Oct. 26; Jamaica, Oct. 28; Car thagena, Oct. 28 ; Demerara, Oct. 31 ; Barbadoes, Nov. 2 ; Porto Ri co , N OY. 1; Trinidad, Nov. 1 ; An tigun, Nov. 4; St. Thomas's, Nov. 5. The Medway brings the large quantity of 1,401,683 dollars' worth of gold, gold dust, silver, &c., a great proportion of which consists of Californian produce. She has also brought 1,244 serons of cochineal and indigo, 267 packages of pimento, 80 cases of cigars, 137 bales of tobacco, &c. Our usual files of newspapers from JamLica ' to the 28th of October inclusive, have r eac h e d us by the Medway. They are remarkably barren of news of interest to the general reader. The English - mail of the 17th of September, from Southampton, had not reached Jamaica when thu steamer left. A court-martial has been sitting at Up Puck, to try Assistant-Surgeon M'Bean, charged with using ungentlemanly language and striking his command ing officer, Lieutenant O'Flanagan. The case ex cited great interest. The decision of the court was not made public when the mail left. The cholera had entirely disappeared, with the exception of an occasional case in the parish of Hanover. The weather had been propitious for the planter, generally, throughout the island. The brig Orion, from London, had arrived; 45 days out. The brig F reeman h ad sa il e d f or Liver pool, as also May 'Wilson for London. The following were in harbour at Kingston :—The Jamaica, Leviathan, Elizabeth Hastings, 'Widow. Bride o f Ab y d os , Orion, The barque Medora had arrived at Montego Bay, and the barques Theela and Camcena, at Falmouth; Jamaica, from London. ANTIGUA. The House of Assembly had been sitting, but it was adjourned for a fortnight. The business trans acted was of a minor character. The Board of Council had rejected the Bill for establishing a court of appeal in the Island. There was a lack of rain throughout the entire island, notwithstanding some heavy but partial showers had fallen during the past week. Mr. Norman, late Comptroller of her Majesty's Customs at Trinidad, died at St. John's on the 25th of October. The Commissioners of her Majesty's Customs had appointed Mr. H. L. Sherlock to act in the capacity of luggage agent —a post very desirable to be estab lished, to facilitate the examinations of baggage, &c. The brig Codrin g t on , M ay master, had arrived out in thirty-six days from London. Cleared—the brig zephyr, Campbell master, for London ; schooner Nora Creida, Latham master, London ship Isabel, Griffiths, Liverpool. PANAMA. The Medway has brought a file of the Panama Star newspaper to the 17th of October inclusive. By it we learn that emigration to the gold regions was increasing. The Unicorn steam-ship, belonging to the Pacific Mail Company, sailed on the lith ult. for San Francisco, with a large number of passengers. The Panama, with a greater number, was to sail on the 18th. The Star of the 17th says : " We learn from below that on Saturday the first train of cars passed from Navy Bay to ,Gatune, under steam. Hurrah for the railroad! We, moreover, learn from a gentleman who walked over a great portion of it, that, with the exception of one small apace, the road is completed, or very nearly so, from Gatune to Miller's station, on the banks of the Chagres river, which is above Pa!anquilla, and that the work is being pushed forward with the greatest energy. The opening of the dry season —early in December—will see the road in working order to Miller's, which presents the greatest difficulties of construction on the whole route. By July it will be completed to Gorgona, and then hurrah for a daily com munication between Panama and Navy Bay. We will talk about this subject more fully when we have more room in our paper." " AFFRAY A.:F CHAGRES.—WO learn from Mr. Pollin, that on Sunday night, the 12th iust., a serious affray occurred at Chagres between the foreign and native boat men, in which, as far as we can learn, the foreigners are the agressors, which we regret exceedingly. 11l feeling has existed for soma time back between the two classes of boatmen, growing out of a desire on the part of the foreigners to maintain the uniform price of two dollars for temporary passengers to and from the steamers. In this arrangement the natives could not be depended upon, and the foreign boatmen, therefore, determined to drive them from their own waters, and deprive them of their undoubted rights. This was all wrong. On the de parture of the Falcon, this determination was attempted to be carried out; several natives were thrown out of their boat alongside the steamer, ono of which tit is said was drowned, all were beaten and otherwise ill-treated. At night a renewal of the affray was commenced by the foreigners, and the guards had to be called out to sup press it. This is a most disgraceful affair, and should call down upon the heads of the guilty party the severest punishment which the law can inflict. Tho same kind of monopoly was attempted on this side, but the authorities took efficient measures to put an end to it by arresting the ringleaders, who would have been punished but for their promise to behave themselves in the future, The monopoly of the small steam-boat on the Chagres river is quite sufficient without a mono poly of the whole business. " MURDER AT CILLORES.—On Wednesday, the Sth instant, a man was shot at Chagres by a returned Cali fornian. The circumstances, as we learn them, attendant upon the death of the man, are as follow:—The Califor nian was engaged in gambling at Monte, in front of a window, in a house near the bank of the river. He had deposited his bag of gold dust, and drew 100 dollars on it, which he lost; wishing another 100 dollars on his dust, the gambler refused it before weighing the bag, at the same time snatching it up. The Californian en raged at this conduct, took a pistol from his belt, or re ceived it from the hands of a bystander, and as the gam bler was jumping through the window into the house, fired at him, but missed his aim, while the ball struck a young man sitting in the room, in the left breast, pene trating the lung, and lodging under the shoulder-blade, causing death in a short time. The Californian and the owner of the pistol have both been arrested." COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. JAMAICA. (From De Cordova's Mercantile Intelligencer, Oct. 27.) GENERAL REMaREb. Receipts have been on a rather limited scale since our issue of the 11th inst. Of flour there were received about 2,000 barrels during the fortnight, whilst the arrivals from Halifax were confined to three cargoes, two of which have been sent out of this market. Under these circumstances, the market both for dry and pickled fish has assumed an improved appearance, but flour oas, rather anomalously, receded in value. The latter cir cumstance may be attributed to the absence of specula tion, to the considerably-diminished consumption of the article, and likewise to the direct recaipts at the princi pal outports on the north side. The now biscuit steam bakery is in full and active operation. Accounts from the country represent the pimento crop as being a full average ono, notwithstanding that the yield in the parish of St. Elizabeth has been rather under that which it was expected to be. The coffee crop in that parish, however, will it is said be more than usually abundant. _ The autumnal rains are general. From all parts of the country we hear of continuous and fertilising showers. But little business has been done in the produce market. Flour is in limited demand, with a supply at market. We note a sale--the only wholesale one since our last— of 1,140 barrels Brandywine, at 28s. 3d. Good Balti more (Howard-street) is wanted, and might command 295. to 305., in moderate parcels. Meal has not improved either in value or inquiry. We still quote it as being nominally worth 15s. to 16s. per barrel. Rice—Some rather large operations have been effected in Bengal at 13s. 6d. per 1001 b.; other descriptions of East India are quiet. No sales of Carolina have trans pired. Butter—Owing to the absence of American and soar city of Halifax the demand during the fortnight ran rather freely on Irish, and several parcels chang ed at at 10d. per lb., but holders have ceased w o perate light. that figure, and now hold for wid.

Although this annual exhibition of the exploits ot the British egriculairist in the science of b ree di ng, fading, anrl. fattening stock will not open to the public until Tuesday. the 9th of December, the ent r i es o f caul- for the forthcoming show are already 7o numerous as to prove that the Smithfield Club Exhibition of 1851 will 'ar exceed that of any former year. The farmers and grozie rs are evidently put upon their mettle, arid the much-mooted question, whether or not a living p ro fit cda be m a d e tv the breeding and feeding of stock, may perhaps be elucidated by the results obtained at the Horse Bnz aar during the second week of the ensuing month. his Revel Highness Prince Albert has sig nified his intention even thus early to enter the field of competition on a wider scale than last year, and space has already b een applied for by the Duke of Richmond, president of the society ; the Earl Spencer, the Duke of Norfolk, the Earl of Radnor, Lord Portman, and most of the leading members of the club. The great increase of cattle, as well as of those who come to ace them, has rendered " it necessary t o extend the already capaeio promises in King -street. The riding school has been enclosed, and added to the area heretofore occupied by the cattle ; and, for th e greater convenience of visitors, wide staircases at either end of the implement galleries have been erected, by mea ns o f which the egress and ingress will be greatly facilitate& Some alterations of an important character have also been made in the ar rangements of the interior. The galleries are already occupied by specimens o f most of the remarkable and interesting agricultural implem en t s di splayed at the Great Exhibition, and the whole bazaar gives token of busy preparation for the ensuing show.

The vehicles on the New-road line to the Bank announcerds . the a low ca e r r n f fare for ot. passengers to and from King's-!ros for lne," Pimlico omnibuses, which of road. The "Royal 13 maintained the fourpenny fare for the entire distance to this distance than has before existed on this important lire and from the City , n ow reduced to 3d. for the whole journey, h s ae the omnibuses which run to and from the nearer thesame portions as Pimlico and Westminster. The cheap rates of travelling ned a few 4 on the Oxford-street and Holborn line con ti n ue as s days ago. The effect of the oppo sition vehicles on the fares of the omnibuses generally ha s no t been con fi n ed to those employed exclusively in runn i ng f ro m one end to the other of the metropolis ; for we fi n d t h at the Putney, Fulham, and Brompton omnibuses have l essene d the fares to and from several points of the journey in and out of town; and the long-journey omnibuses, which run to and from the City to Hammersmith, Brenttord, and Hounslow, announce a greater adoption of small fares to and from the several places of importance along the line of road. This evinces the advantages to the public arising from the recent movement in this matter, and it now seems more than proba ble that the residents of the metropolis and the suburban dis tricts will have greater facilities for travelling by these con venient vehicles and at cheaper rates than has ever before been the case.

Lifebuoys were imme• diately thrown out and every effort made to save him; but the unfortunate man sank to rise no more. The deceased was only twenty-four years of loge. Papers from Auckland, New Zealand, to the 27th of August, have been received. There was little local intelligenceof interest, but it appeared that the pl an of establishing pro. vincial councils had been approved by the home Government, pending the adoption of more comprehensive measures. The latest news from Wellington as to l e g islative proceedings re. ferred to the discussion of the estimates. From the south information had arrived of the wreck, near Cape Terawiti, of the Maria, a brig of 400 tons, on her voyage from Wellington to Lyttelton. THE OLDBURY BURGLARY. OLDBURY. WEDNESDAY.—The men concerned in the late burglary and outrage near this town, and who since so desperately resisted capture in Here fordshire, were brought up for examination here this morning, before John Green, James Hunt, and Ed ward Moore, Esqs., magistrates acting for this divi sion of the county, and on the bench were Messrs. Badger, Williams, Piercy, and other Worcestershire magistrates, who did not take any part in the pro ceedings. The names of the prisoners are George Hanks alias Rock, and Thomas Jones alias Moss. The prisoner Hanks was formerly an apprentice to Mr. Lowe, bookseller, of this town. The prisoners were now charged with having com mitted a burglary on the premises of Miss Nicklin, in the Portway-road, a short distance from this town, on the 23d ult, Miss. Nicklin, the prosecutrix, who is a lady ad vanced in years, deposed to the following principal facts :—That on the night in question she saw all the doors of her house fastened between seven and eight o'clock. She went to bed at ten o'clock, and at two in the morning was awoke by a noise in the house ; anticipating that it was caused by the arrival of a relative expeoted from Devonshire, she called to her cousin David, who slept in another part of the house, to inform him of the circumstance. Shortly afterwards, a man entered her room, having in his hand a dark lantern, his face was blackened, and he wore a chemise over his dress. He turned the light towards witness, and said, " Where is your money ? It will be batter for you to be still ; if you do not I shall blow your brains out." The man showed her a pistol, and said it was a double. barrelled one. Witness told him that she had very little money, 'and that if he must have it, it was in her pocket on the floor. He took the money therefrom, but witness did not notice where he put it. The man said that he did not want coppers; and asked witness if there were any more in the house than herself and her relative. Witness did not reply, and the man immediately went round to the other side of the bed, and examined the drawer of the dressing table. After recognising her niece, who slept with her, be left the room. Her cousin David's room adjoined her own ; there was a drawer in a looking-glass, which the , prisoner opened, but witness could not say whether he took anything therefrom. Witness iden fled the prisoner Hanks as the man 'who came into her room. After be had quitted her and reached her cousin's apartment, she heard the prisoner say, " Shoot the devil ;" and immediately afterwards heard the report of a pistol three times. Immediately sat up in bed and saw her cousin David lying en the floor; he groaned a great deal ; and the two prisoners then proceeded to search the honse. The witness next described the proceedings of the prisoners (one only of whom she saw). After they had gone she sent her niece out for assistance, and examining the premises down stairs, found that the burglars had effected an entrance by taking a pane of glass out of the parlour window. On examining the premises, she missed, amongst other things, some silver spoons, several of which were produced to-day, and which the witness identified—they had been found on the persons of both prisoners. , Superintendent M'Crokon, of the Leominster police, produced two brace - of revolving pistols, a life preserver, a flexible saw sufficiently small to be intro duced into a hole perforated by a nail-passer, several bullet moulds, and a quantity of ball cartridge, all of which had been found on one or other of the prisoners at the time of their apprehension. Mr. David Nicklin, who was shot at by the bur glars soon after they entered his cousin's premises, and Sarah Nicklin, prosecutrix's niece, were also ex amined ; and the superintendent of the Leominster constabulary detailed the particulars of the desperate resistance made by the prisoners on the occasion of their arrest. Corroborative testimony against the prisoners having been adduced, they were fully committed to take their trial at the next assizes. The inquiry lasted seven hours.

A PARISIAN BARBEL—A hair-dresser named Humont, of the rue Clery, was yesterday tried by the Tri bunal of Correctional Police for swindling. He called his shop an "Association," though he himself was only inte rested in it. He announced that he would cut hair for 20 cen times, and shave for 10 centimes. He had a great num ber of customers. After shaving them or cutting their hair, be used to remark that their heads were very dirty, and to propose to clean them, saying it world take only an instant. Ile then uncorked a bottle, and let fall a few drops of some liquid on their heads. He afterwards charged 2f. 50c. for what he called "Athenian water" which he had used. His cus tomers protested, but he abused them, and at times set his assistants and even his dog on them. Some people sub mitted to his extortion sooner than have a scene.

Mr. Oliveira was present, and a lengthened report was read o n the subject of his proceed ings at Madrid, detailing the correspondence he had entered into with the London committee, Mr. Weisweiller, and other parties, in furtherance of the views he had adopted. It ap peared his great object had been to impress upon the autho rities in Spain, and also upon those whose connexion brought them in close contact with political circles in that country, the necessity of some worthy attempt to redeem the national credit, and from what be now stated it was understood that he considered he had found able supporters, not only among the press, but also among some of the leading statesmen. Under these circumstances the several speakers called upon the bondhold ers no t to convert, since they regarded it as almost certain that by patience and perseverance they would eventually, if they did not obtain modified terms, at least get the " confiscated" portion of the overdue coupons re cognized. $0 0 0 C1A.N.6.3115. i \Dividend Names of i Dividend „. 4 ,„.
