TRIAL OF MR. WHITWORTH'S RIFLED CANNON.—
The first experimental trials of the ranges and accuracy
of Mr. Whitworth's breech.loading cannon having the
email/Ps hexagonal bore and firing the long six-sided cone.
which form the basis of that gentleman's principle of
rifled ordnanos, were made at Southport on Wednesday
and T biuiday. The results, which have been so long
looked forward to with eagerness by artillerymen and
engii niers, are stated by the correspondent of the Tines
to have surpassed the most sanguine expectations. The
success, in fact, "was really astounding. The accuracy
of fire and length of range obtained from trifling charges
of ,powder were so totally beyond what has ever yet been
attained, that it is evident we are upon tamers of another
re volution in all relating to scientific gunnery, and that
even the greatest results which have ever been obtained
from the Armstrong gun, are likely to be in turn sur-
passed by Mr. Whitworth's ordnance."

Two officers attached to the Staff College, Capt. P. 1).
Vigor', 2nd battalion 19th Regiment, and Captain F.
W. Jebb, 67th Regiment, having been occupied for
several days at Chatham in inspecting the localities of

otherwise possessed by the neighbourhood for the en-
camptnent of a large body of troops. The officers are
also to report on the capabilities of the district for the
erection of small earth bstteries and other works of de-
fence, and will visit various other localities, when similar
reports will be made.

A Goon BARGAIN.—TI:o Charirari gives the fol-
lowing as " true story:"—" Twenty years ago three
young men were walking together on the Boulevard.'
Shall we go to breakfast?' said one. ' With all icy
heart,' replied the second. ' But,' chimed in the third,
' where are the funds? Which of us has • purser I,'
exclaimed the others both st once, • but it is empty.
• Christi! and I AM all hungry as a lawyer's clerk
What's to be done?' 'I have an idea,' said the first
speaker; • come with me.' The three entered • music-
shop and asked the proprietor whether he would buy a
song. ' A song ! Diable! Whose is it?' Ours.'
' Let me see it.' '1 will sing it to you,' said the shortest
of the three. He sat down to the piano and sang the
piece offered for sale. • Well,' said the publisher, 'it is
not bail- I will give you 251. for it." What, worda
and music and all?" Oh, certainly, the times are
hard." It is very little--never mind—shell out—it
will be enough to pay for our breakfast.' The publisher
paid the 2:11., and the three friends went to breakfast
together. ' Why this story? the reader will ask, oh
nothing in the world but this—the song was ' l'Anda-
louse !` The publisher made 100,000 f. by his bargain.
The author of the words was Alfred de Musset the
author of the music was Monism; and the singer,
Dupre:. That's all."

TURKEY AND THE EAST.

There was • report last week, to which we pee no
credit, that an insurrection had broken out in Con-
stantinople. No each disaster has yet occurred. It may
be that the house tax imposed upon the city of Con-
stantinople for furnishing the means of withdrawing the
paper money had given rise to some ,liscontent, as the
sews seems to indicate that one of the European Ain.
bassadors (the Prussian) had advised the Turkish
Government not to insist upon it; but, on the other
band, we meet with the fact that that measure of the
withdrawal of the paper money is already in full progress,
sot lase than thirty-two millions of piastres being, in
reality, already withdrawn.
We are told that "since the departure of W.
Thwevenel a great change has taken place in the relations
el the Ambassadors. The French Churl d' Affian has
warmly bed areichntercourse with the Russian Arches-
eider, who has uent conferences with the Austrian
Internam:le. air miry Bulwer ha* had several con-
nate' with Count LalUmand.”

FILTDAY, Fee. 17. To-day's market was very
scantily supplied with English wheat, coastwise and
by land carriage. For most kinds there we, a steady
demand, at fully Is. per qr. over the rates current
last week, and at which a clearance was easily
effected. There was a slightly improved demand for
foreign whest—the sppply of which was good—but
the high pretensions of holders checked sales.
Floating cargoes were steady in price. The few
samples of barley on the stands found buyers, and
the quotations of Monday were freely supported.
New malt was in request, but old parcels were
rather cheaper. The show of oats was limited.
Most kinds were in demand, and prices bad an
upward tendency. "loth badkna and p.ma were very

TRIAL OF THI BISHOP OF BIRCHIX. —no Bishops
of the Scottish Episcopal Church assembled in synod last
weak, at Edinburgh, for the purpose of hearing an
accusation against Dr A. P. Forbes, Bishop of Brechin,
for heretical doctrine on the subject of the Eucharist.
The hearing lasted all Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thurs.
day. The Bishop was heard at great length in his
defence, his answers forming • large folio of ZiO printed
pages, the major part of which he read. Ile pleaded
that it was not enough for the presentors to show that
the passages complained of were opposed to the teaching
of certain prevalent schools of theology in the English or
Scottish Churches. The presenters were bound to show
that the passages complained of were subversive, not of
this or that interpretation of the Church's formularies,
but of the liters,/ and grammatical sense of the articles,
formularies, or offices of the Church themselves. The
Rev. Mr. Henderson, Incumbent of St. Mary's, Arbroath
was beard at great length for the presenters, and went
over several points challenged, to show that the semis.
ation had been made out, and that the Bishop's teaching
was literally, grammatically, and substantially opposed
to the doctrine of the Church's articles and foruiularies.
The synod allowed the Bishop to lodge • reply to the
argument of the presenters before the 23rd of February,
and adjourned further procedure till March 14, when
the Court would hear parties make such further °beery-
ations as they might consider necessary.

FRIDAY.

The LORD CHANCELLoR. in requesting their lordships
to read a Bill to repeal certain statutes a first time,
called the attention of the House, in is lucid speech, to
the fate of the Bill which he had introduced during the
present Season. Still, it was • monstrous exaggeration
to say that the Session bad been a total failure in res-
pect to law reform.
Lord ST. LEONARD said the present admirable work-
ing of the Court of Chancery entitled it to the approba-
tion of the country.
Lord Int•NWuRTII believed that a very useful reform
had been imported into the (Alert of Chancery by the
new system of taking evidence i.rally.

The Hill was the a first ton-e.
The iiavitieuebanks Friendly Societiet Investments
Bill yawed through committee.
The Roman Catholic Charities Dill, on the motion of
the Lord Chancellor, was read a second time, on the
understanding that no aurenthuenta should be intro-
duced.

Their Lordships then adjourned at 20 minutes past 9
o'clock.

PA It lA, Monday.
The Sultan, in authorizing his Ambassador at
Paris to sign the Protocol of the tixil instant, which
is to be converted into a convention, imposed the
condition that the protocol should contain nothing
which might involve the idea of foreie intervention
in the interior affairs of Turkey. It was for that
reason that the wishes of the Great Powers, respecting
measures for ameliorating the condition of tire Christian
subjects of the Porte, were embodied in a wparate
protocol, which, by the distinct reserve of the Turkish
Ambassador, was not be inserted in the convention.
ltussia, nevertheless, insisted that the convention
I should confirm the promise given by the Porte at
the Congress of Paris in favour of the
Christians. The Divan refused, declaring that the
demand would constitute an act of intervention ; bat
, at the same time the Porte, acting in the full exercise
of its sovereign independence, will use every effert to
feta the wishes of the Christian Powers.
All the Powers have now, however, agreed to,

MAIDEN NEWTON.

FANCY FAIR AT rill Rarroxv.—The picturesque
grounds of the Hon. and Rev. W. H. Scott were on
Thursday last the scene of a very pleasant gathering,
for the purpose of aiding the enlargement and im-
provement of Maiden Newton School, through a
bazaar promoted by the worthy rector's family and
friends, and which was graced by the presence of a
large circle of the beauty and fashion of the neigh-
bourhood. On the terrace in front of the house there
was a picture stall with a number of beautiful original
sketches, several of which were by the Hon. Mrs.
Wyndham and Miss Helen Scott. Here the former
lady presided, assisted by Miss Denison, while the
other stalls were occupied by the following leaks :
—Miss Scott, assisteml by Miss Charlotte Scott and
Miss Denison, Hon. Mrs. Denison, assisted by Miss
Hamiltonand Miss Scott; and Mrs. Fetherstonhaugh,
assisted by Miss Hamilton and Miss Helen Scott.
There was likewise a refreshment stall, which
offered a great profusion of delicacies, the fruit being
kindly presented by the Right Hon. Lord Digby.
Nor was music wanting to lend its charms to the
scene, for, through the kindness of Captain Scott,
C. 8., the band of H. M.S. Colossus occupied A plat-
form in the centre of the ground, and discoursed some
excellent music, while the magnificent Royal
Standard and large Union Jack from the same ship,
showed in excellent contrast to the surrounding ver-
dure. Altogether the proceedings went oil very
happily, and we are glad to hear that the receipts
were much greater than was anticipated. The
number of visitors was between 400 and 100, and
among the company we noticed the Hon. Francis
Scott, J. Floyer, Esq., R. B. Sheridan, Esq., Ml'.,
Mrs. and Miss Sheridan, Colonel Bingham, Mrs.
and Misses Bingham, H. N. Nliddletou, Esq., Mrs.

THE GERMAN CONFEDERATION

The Nord asserts that the sensations made by
Prussia for the reorganisation of the army of the Con-
federation are strongly disapproved by the secondary
German Status. The Prussian journals, and the liberal
portion of the German press generally, advocate the
change, but with very little effect. The suialler States
refuse to abdicate so much of their independent sove-
reign power as they believe they would resign in giving
up the commas ,l of their military forces to one or both
of the great Powers. They consider the conomaion as
the find step towards their political extinction.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANcuErrze, Aug. 24th.—The 'deices from India
are more discouraging by every mail. Had as the
accounts were on Tuesday, we have worse thin morning,
dated July 2, or six days later, sperkin., of further
depression. At the latter date twist had alien d. per
lb. These advices add to the unfavourable feeling here,
and both cloth and yarn are re difficult to sell,
buyers being disposed to act with extreme elution.
This was particularly the effect with Indian goods, lint
the feeling extends inure or less to manufactures for
the markets, and business closes heavily.
BKADFOKU, August 23.—We have no new feature to
report in the wool branch of our trade. So long as the mi.
certainty of the weather continues. the wool market
must remain tumettled. If there is any change, busi-
ness is a trifle more lively to-tee. A giving way in
prices is the exception, and is not likely to become either
general or material. Staplers who can afford to hold
wool at present prices are generally determined to do so
but there arc exceptions, as there always are at critical
times, when parties who are afraid to hold, or unable to
do no, accept lower terms than are generally current.
There is less buoyancy ill the home trade. Buyers who
have orders to give out offer • little less money, and in
some few instances we hear of a alight concession having
been made.
