The inspection of the London Rifle Brigade, by the
Duke of Cambridge, on Saturday, excited an unusual
degree of interest. It was the first grand field day of a
volunteer corps south of the Mersey.
Tar BAYONET.—On Thursday evening last a com-
munication was read to the Society of Antiquaries from
Mr. Akerman, their secretary, entitled "Notes on the
Origin and History of the Bayonet." Mr. Akerman
observed, that he had been unable to verify the state-
ment that this weapon derives its name trom Bayonne.
sue reputw place or its invention. Poltaire alludes to
it in the Bth book of the " Henriade." The results of
the inquiry niay be thus briefly recited : That
"bayonette" was the name of a knife, which may pro-
bably have been so designated either from its having
been the peculiar weapon of a cross-how man, er from
the individual who first adopted it. That its first
recorded use as a weapon of war occur in the memoirs
of ruygegue, and may he referred to the year 1647.
That it is first mentioned in England by Sir J. Turner,
.1670-71. That it was introduced into the English
Lardy in the first half of the year 1672. That before
the-peace of Neniengen, Puysegur had seen troops on
the Continent armed with bayonets, furnished with
rings, which would go over the muzzle of the muskets.
That in 1686 the device of the socket bayonet was
tested before the Preach King, and failed. That in
1689 Mackay, by the adoption of the ringed bayonet,
successfully opposed the Highlanders at the battle of
Killicrankie. Lastly, that the bayonet with the socket
was in general use in the year 1703.
How THE NAVY EXPENDITURE IS WiaSTED.—The
announcement which has appeared, oi the defective
state of the gun vessels and mortar boats undergoing a
careful survey at Chatham Dockyard, merely described.
the condition of thoe Vessels so far as could be ascer-
tained at the time. that report was written. The survey
of the two, mortar vessels numbered 30 and 32, in the
first dock has, however, been continued, the result
fl.hcrwittg that the statement previously giien conveys
but a very modified description of the actual state of
these vessels as ascertained fronk.g, extended examina-
tion of their timbers and frames. Both these mortar
vessels were built abont live years' since towards the
close of the Russian war, and were constructed by contract
at private establishments, without, as it would now
. appear, even the slightest supervision on tke part of the
Admiralty to insure that, good workmanship. and sound
• materials were used. NOtwithstanding the short time
they have been MAU, arid, the fact, that they have seen
little or no service, the materials of both vessels are
fouod so seriously rotten, and the boats altogether so
defective, that on the receipt-of-the report made by the
dockyard. officia)s directed to survey them, the Lords of
the Meniralty forwarded an order to Chatham Dockyard
in both the vessels to be broken up, their condition
being such as to render them altogether unfitted for any
service whatever, Not only are some of the timbers
literally marked with " sap," but, from certain. unmis-
takeable symptoms now exhibited, this fact must have
been known to the builders at the time, and yet, extra-
ordinary as it mety appear, there would seem to hove
been no supervision nor controlling power on the part
-cf the Admiralty to prevent the gross deception, and the
scandalous fraud perpetrated. The two mortar vessels
which have been ordered to be broken up at Chatham
Doillaid were 10414 we believe, prouliscuously from
the squadron, of that class of vessels, bit% in g„ Creek
and hauled up at the de4yard, and as the first two
selpeted for survey are. found to be so rotten as to, require
to be taleu, en. pieees, fears are naturally entertained lest. . the greater part, if not the whole, of that costly fleet of
gun and mortar vessels will not, upon survey, prive
qually unfit for Nrthei service,
