keep holiday to-morrow, having p the day by work-

About 2io workmen are ordered to be discharged from
the "urine department of the Royal Arsenal. Recent
experuneets to teat the efficiency of gun carriages made en-
tirely of from, instead of timber, have proved so satidac-
tory that the alteratioa is expected to be adopted generally

Tat BCSINP-sS AT THE LANCASHIRE ASSIZES.-
The practical effect of the division of assize work between
Liverpool and Manchester is now beginnieg to appear. The
mum lists show an immense increase of the civil business ;
and the labour of the judges, instead of being lightened,
has actually become heavier, as a result of the altered ar-
rangements. Until the new courM at Manchester were
completed, it was considered very fair if the whole civil
liminess of South Lancashire Assizes amounted to 130
causes. This spring the Manchester cause list numbered
78, and the Liverpool list 111; making a total of 189 causes.
It does not appear, however, that the increased Dumber of
courts possess increased power for the disposal of the in-
creased Imam's. Both at Manchester and Liverpool
learned counsel bed to assist the judger in trying prisoners
or bearing Mlles, and so ioadmoste was the time allowed
by the Manchester commisaions, that as many as four
or five courts sat at ones, there being only two judges ap-
pointed to the oirceits, end the other courts being
presided over by the more experienced members of the bar,
or those who had the least number of private engagements to
engross their attention. Notwithstanding this, only 38 of
the 78 of the Manchester causes were tried through,
the remainder being either settled, withdrawn, moved
on to Liverpool, or made remanete in many cases
solely becsuse the pressure on the courts gave the parties
no hope of full and fair trials. At Liverpool the state of
thiogs was even worse. Oat of 111 moms, 64 of which
were special jury causes, only 41 were tried out, 13 being
settled or referred when they had been part heard, sod the
remaining 57 not coming into court at all. Of them 57,
which were either settled because the mama interested
could me no probability of having them tried to a satisfac-
tory issue, after they had gone to the great expense
preparing them for trial, 22, which were special jury eaneser
may fairly be regarded as having been more than usually
importent. Whoa it is observed that in South Lemashire
