THE SUEZ CANAL.—A deputation waited upon
Lord Stanley at the Foreign-office, on Saturday last, to
urge certain proposals relative to the Suez Canal. In the
charter of convention originally granted by the Viceroy of
Egypt to the canal company it was stipulated that neu-
trality should be preserved, and that stipulation was
afterwards ratified by the Sultan of Turkey. The chief
object of the deputation was to urge upon Lord Stanley
the importance of making this concession the busis of a
convention between England and France; and from
what transpired at the interview it is inferred that
diplomatic action, with this object in view, is only a
question of time.

PROTESTANTISM IN BOREMIA.—Ltst evening' a
public meeting was held in the lower room, Exeter-tall, to
receive information as to the present openings for the
extension of the protestant faith in Bohemia. General
Walker presided. From a statement made by the Rev.
Dr. Blackwood, it appeared that recent coucessione by
the Austrian governnitud to religious liberty had opened
the way for the revival of pure protestant liberty in
Bohemia, and, as a suitable commemoration of the fifth
centenary of John Huss, it had been resolved to raise a
fund to establish in Prague a college for students of the
ministry, to establish tral • g institutions for protestant
school teachers in suitable localities, he. Senior Janata
and Pastor Schubert addressed the meeting in furtherance
of these and kindred objects, after which a
L resoluti.,:a
moved by the Lev. G. Washburn, United Si
seconded hy Rev. A. King, afiirming that the work was
worthy of the support of British Christians, was unani-
mously adopted.

A new rifle gun of 11-inches calibre, and weigh-
ing 26 tone ; in short, the 12-inch gun with its
bore reduced to 11 inches, will soon be intro-
duced; and we may confidently assert its penetra-
tive power will be some 16 per Dent. greater than
that of the present 12-inch rifle gun of the same
weight ; and here we may confidently assume
that we shall then have arrived at the end of
our tether in the direction of the most powerful
and still manageable ordnance. The vexed question
of the relative merits of rifle and smooth-bore
guns for attacking iron-clad structures has at las+
been settled. When fired from a range of 200
yards, with a spherical cast iron shot of 4501b5.,
and a charge of 8311ba. of English powder (equi-
valent to 10011 e. American) the 15-inch Rodman
gun could only produce an indentation of about 18
inches diameter, and from 3f to 5 inches deep,
either on the 15 inches of the Plymouth Break-
water target, or on the solid 15-inch plates, which
were also fired at last week, while, as before re-
marked, the 12-inch rifle shell perforatisl the
target; and a similar shell broke into two pieces
the 15-inch rolled iron plate. When the amounts
of these experiments reach America they will pro-
bably cause some stir, and at last open the oyes of
our cousins across the water to the fact that their
huge smooth bores stand no chance of competing
successfully with our rifle guns.
To neurn again to the Plymouth Breakwater
target. The construction presents two distinct
features—let. The armoured face or front; 2nd.
The roof with its supports. These two are each so
far independent of the other, that the armoured
wall must be breached before the stability of the
roof can be injured; and this novel feature has
been shown by the severe trials of last week to
have been successful, for after the three days'
practice only twelve rivets had been driven off
from the structure carrying the roof, which did not
appear to have been in any way whatever further
damaged. It is also satisfactory to know that
this system of roof can be applied to other con-
structions, whatever may be the dimensions and
arrangements of the front wall. We stated
in our issue of Tuesday last, the day
on which the experiments commenced, that
the charges for the guns would be such ae to re-
present the forces produced at ranges of 1,000 and
500 yards respectively, whereas nearly all the
rounds fired were with battering charges at 200
yards range. Some explanation of this difference
between the programme decided on before the day
and that actually carried out is necessary. Now,
as the Breakwater target represented a work
about to be constructed, a test of the merits of the
work would naturally be made by firing against
the target the heaviest guns from the shortest
ranges at which ships would probably ever engage;
but as the assailants of the system of construction
clamoured for the most destructive tests that could
be applied, the determination of the fittest range
was felt to be such a knotty point that Sir John
Pakington at first very wisely placed the respon-
sibility of fixing the ranges upon the committee
appointed to conduct the experiments—this was
the Ordnance Select Committee, with three addi-
tional members, Lieutenant-Colonel Bolfield and
Captain Conies. of the Royal Engineers, and Pro-
fessor Abel, F.R.B. The committee eventually
decided on trying the target with the forces pro-
duced by the guns—at 1,000 yards, as representing
the shortest range at which vessels would attempt
to approach the fort if obstructions existed around it,
and at 500 yards as the shortest distance if no
such obstructions existed. When we consider the
perfection to which the system of torpedo obstruc-
tions has been brought, and the wonderful part
they played, even when constructed in the very
rudest manner, during the late American war;
when we reflect that the ironclad Warrior can be
pierced and sunk even by the 9-inch rifle gun of
12 tons at 2,500 yards, and the battery portion of
our most famous ironclad, the Hercules, can be
penetrated at 1,400 yards by the same gun; and
lastly, when we find that at 200 yards from the
fort the space in which a vessel will have to
manoeuvre would be about the size of an ordinary
shop in Regent-street ; then, indeed, we may
realise the abnirdity of measuring the resistance
given by the target to the projectiles with which
it was attacked as the real value of the fort under
tiny circumstances of actual warfare, and we have
no hesitation in saying that the fort will be invul-
nerable to any probable attack. There are, however,
points of interest and worthy of consideration
beyond that of the strength of this particular
construction, and the principal one is, whether a
sufficiently strong work could not be obtained for
a less cost. This we will refer to presently.
Four main features have been revealed by the
practice against the target and against the two
solid 15-inch plates, the details of which were
duly recorded by our special reporter in our issues
of last week.

In the first place, it was shown that 13 inches of
iron armour, whether in three layers of 3 inches
each or in a solid plate, are incapable of resisting
the 12-inch rifle gun at 200 yards. This is very
important, for it has long been maintained, par-
ticularly by some of the few manufacturers who
can produce solid plates 15 inches thick, and with
whom the wish was probably father to the
thought, that solid plates would give vastly
superior resistance to that yielded by the seine
thickness in three layers. Both will keep out shot
from the 12-inch gun at 200 yards, while the
shell from the same gun just penetrates the
13 inches in three layers, and breaks in two
the solid 13-inch plate ; besides this, the joints of a
fort covered with such plates would be weaker
than the joints of the target tried, as the weakness
they cause is more uniformly distributed in the
latter, while the interior of a work would be more
exposed by the breaking away of a large solid
plate than by the shell penetrating, as it did the
target, and leaving only a comparatively small
hole on the surface.

Secondly,— It was satisfactorily shown that the
structure supporting the roof could not be
damaged by horizontal fire unless the armoured
wall is first breeched; and this system of roof
construction is capable of general application.
Thirdly,—The trials showed that the bolts were
capable of holding together the armour plates,
and of connecting properly the armour with the
uprights in rear. 'Very few bolts were fractured
during the trials.
Fourthly,—The rope mantlet which, when in
position, would hung between the uprights and
the Lox girder which supports the roof girdemwas
lhown to be quite capable of intercepting any
fragmentaaf armour, bolts, nuts. &c., that miglit
be driven buck. In one instance it caught a frag-
ment of armour weighing upwards of 80011 m,
and wily had two of its strands cut. It is, how-
ever, doubtful whether it could stop the fragment.'

The cost of the Plymouth fort might be roughly
taken at 3,0001. per gun, exclusive of foundations
and turrets; and it would perhaps be best
strengthened by putting an additional upright
between each pair of those now provided for, ex-
cept at the port where the addition should be
te another armour , 5 inches thick, inside the
port, and exten • between the port uprights.
These additions could be made even were the work
partially built, sad the extra wet would be about
4001., making the total 3,4001. per gun, to keep
out 12-inch shells at 200 yards. But, lookinicto
the coming 11-inch guns, and oonsidering the very
uncertain and occasionally disastrous effecta of
shells bursting between the plates of an iron
target composed of ates crossing each other, it
is more than probable that a safer and cheaper
protection will be found by using iron plates of
moderate thickness backed by other materials, and
as wood is undesirable from its perishable nature
we have to look to masonry to act as backing
when combined with iron. No experimenta have
yet been made in this country with such a com-
bination, and many will probably be near ssary
before the proper forme and proportions of the
different materials can be determined. rhe
experiments to be carried on this week includerthe
trial of a casemate in which the front piers and
wall are built of Portland cement concrete, con-
tained within cells of thin iron plate; outside this
is a skin of two-inch plating, on which eight
inches of iron are variously disposed ; thus on one
portion of the front there is a solid 8-inch
armour plate; next, adjoining this, a 41-inch
plate • with bridge-rail stringers equal in volume
to a 31-inch plite; then 6-inch plates with other
stringers equal to a 2-inch plate; then a 4-inch
plate with stringers equal to another 4 inches;
and, lastly, a 41-inch plate partly supported on
stringers equal to 31 inches, and partly backed by
concrete and attached to the left pier. We shall
look with much interest to the experiments against
this casemate, though wo suspect that it would
have been better to have common s-4 on a smaller
scale, as was occasionally done in former years
when the investigations into systems of construc-
tion for naval purposes were carried on ; and more
might have been learnt than is now generally
known had some of the money then wasted on
structures costly and unscientific in design been
expended more judiciously on smaller and cheaper
targets in the first instance.

The Rev. Dr. Butler, bead master of Harrow
School, has resigned his seat on the Local Board of Health
at Harrow ; the office of chairman to the board having
been filled by him and the Rev. Dr. Vaughan, his prede-
cessor in the head mastership, for a penod of 18 years,
when the Public Health Act was first applied to Harrow.
The Bishop of London has at last granted a
commission in the prosecution of Mr. Bennett, for inquiry
into the Bacramentarian tenets of that too notorious
clergyman. The commissioners are to be Bir Travers
Twiss, the chancellor of the diocese, the Archdeacon of
Middlesex (Sinclair), the Rev. Canon Melville, chaplain
to her Majesty. the Rev. F. 0. Blomtield, chaplain to
the Bishop of London, and the Rev. Prebendary Rempe,
rector of St. James.—Rooord.

The rain, which was so welcome in London, has
fallen during the past few hours in various parte of the
country. On Sunday some showers fell, accompanied
with thunder, in many parts of the district of the North
Riding of Yorkshire, Durham, Westmoreland, and North-
umberland, and during Sunday night the fall of rain in
some places was considerable, although by no means ap-
proaching what is wanted for the pastures and corn.
Yestei day the sky was overcast, the barometer declining,
End showers fell at intervals.
ELECTION OF SHEMLFFIL—The election of sheriffs
for London and Middlesex, in succession to Mr. Alderman
Stone and Mr. W. If 'Arthur will take place to-morrow,
the 24th inst. Alderman Cotton, who is the senior alder-
man who has not served the office, and Mr. C. H. Hutton,
are likely to be returned unopposed.
DEATH OF THS VENERABLE ARCHDEACON DODO-
sour.—The Bev. Charles Dudgeon., MA, archdeacon of
Richmond, canon of Ripon cathedral, and rector of
Croft, near Darlington, died on Sunday evening rather
suddenly. The archdeacon had been out within a day
or two, but was seised with a severe attaok of diarrhoea,
which carried him off in a few hours. The archdeacon
was appointed to the living of Croft in 1843 by Sir Robert
Peel, the living being in the gift of the crown, upon the
recommendation, it was understood, of the present Arch-
bishop of Canterbury, who was then Bishop of Durham,
and he was subsequently made canon of Ripon. The
living of Croft is worth, according to the Ckrgy List, 8504
per
ootra, but it is understood to be in value now of above
. The deceased was a high churchman, and has
Selivered some remarkable charges at his visitations. Me
will be known to some in consequence of a controversy
which occurred between him and Dr. floods, the Dean of
Ripon, some three or four years since, on the Eucharist.
LIBRARY COMPANY (LIMITED).—At a meeting
of the shareholders of the above company, held at Welbeck-
street, on Wednesday, the 17th inst., it was resolved
that the company be wound up voluntarily, under the
supervision of the Court of Chancery.

A boiler explosion, by which'one man was killod
and several others seriously injured, took place on Satur-
day, at the Fire Clay Works of Messrs. Kitson and Son,
situated between Lindley and Elland. The boiler was
one of Wright's patents, and was placed in the works new
about four years ago. It was considered to be in excel-
lent working order, and nothing has yet been discovered
to throw light upon the cause of the accident.
QUEENSTOWN, Jticx 22.—The Cunard (extra)
steamer Aleppo, from New York, arrived here at 9.45
p.m. to-day, with 104 passengers. After busting
despatches and 35 re, she proceeded immediately
for Liverpool. Al well.—Reater's Tikyrancr.
CRIME AND SUICIDE.—The two persons whose
bodies tied together with a rope were dragged out of the
Seine, as already mentioned, have been identified. It
peers that two families of workmen lived in a house of the
St. Antoine quarter, namely, V-, a cabinetmaker, and his
wife, and another married pair named X—. An improper
connection had been formed between V— and the woman
X—, who followed the business of a laundre•is, and one of
her work-girls informed the husband of his wife's
About a week after the guilty couple disappeared from the
house, and, as appears from pencil notes written in V—'s
pocket-book, wandered about for several days, sleeping at
hotels and going to theatres till their money was entirely
expended. Having then no resource left, they determined
on suicide, and in the evening of the seventh day gained
the bank of the river near Boulogne, where they took off
part of their clothes, fastened themselves together, and
then plunged into the water. The man was about 36
years old and the woman 10 younger.—Ualeynarsi.
THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS IN THE SOUTH.—
rp to the latter end of last week continued hine and
hot weather had prevailed, and an extremely anxious feel-
ing began to be experienced in all quarters as to the effect
produced by such long-protracted drought. On the heavy
lands the wheat had borne the dry weather pretty well ;
but on the light and thin soils gram crops of every kind
were beginning to show unequivocal symptoms of suffer-
ing. Happily a change took place in the weather. On
Saturday showers fell, though very partially, but on
Sunday the skies were overcast, and at night the rain fell
heavily, lasting for some hours. On Monday further
showers, though but slight, occurred at intervals, and the
temperature, which during part of last week had been un-
usually high for the time of year, had fallen cousiderahly.
In a word, a total change in the weather had
taken place, and it has not come a day too
Poen. A moderate temperature and continued moire
during the present week will effect a vast deal of good.
So far as this district (Sussex) is concerned there seems no
reason to apprehend that any serious injury to the seeps
has been sustained. The reports as to the wheat are en-
couraging, and the blooming process bas been carried on
under highly favourable condition.'. Barley, oats, beins,
and peas all require rain—the late sown crops—espessally
root erotic—are, as a matter of course, in the like
category. Haymaking has been carried on with great
activity and the crop has been got up in capital condition,
bat whilst the quality is excellent the quanta; falbevery
abort, as, indeed, has been from the tint anticipated. The
went of rain In April and May rendered such a result in.
