of the leading men had been presented to Gen. Castilla
and received by him with great favour, having for its
object the direct sale of guano in Callao. The following
is the body of the project:—That depots for guano be
established in Callao, and that all foreign vessels be sup-
plied therefrom, paying for it cash on delivery, the guano
to be sold by weight; and that after a sufficient number
of vessels have been obtained to be under the Peruvian
flag, no foreign vessel to be allowed to load at the islands.
The government to load the vessels at so much per ton for
its delivery on the moles or alongside the vessels purchas-
ing. Should this project succeed, it will be one of the
greatest benefits ever conferred on the country. In place
of the government only receiving 15 dols per ton for the
guano, it will get 25 dots per ton clear, say 5 dots per
ton for digging and freighting to Callao, selling it at 30
dols per ton, and at the same time giving to a large num-
ber of vessels and men employment and keeping the money
in the country. As yet the matter is only on the first
step.

CHARGE OF INDECENT ASSAULT.—INIT. William Samuel
Willey, residing in Stanley-street, Pimlico, was charg, d
with indecently assaulting Emma Jolly, his servant, a
pretty and innocent-locking girl, fifteen years of age, who
had the appearance of being much older. Complainant
said she had been in defendant's service only six days when
he behaved improperly to her. The first time was Monday
evening. She had been out for something and be let her
in ; directly he had done so, he put his arm round her in
the passage, and asked her to kiss him, which she refused
to do. Her mistress was playing the piano at the time in
the parlour, and defendant followed complainant down
stairs into the kitchen, and conducted himself towards her
in a very indelicate way. Oa Tuesday evening her mistress
went out for a walk, and during her absence defendant
followed complainant into one of the bedrooms, and,
pulling her by the hand, wished her to submit to his
unlawful desires, at the same time repeating his indelicate
conduct towards her. Complainant was examined by the
magistrate, but her evidence was of such an unsatisf letory
nature as to call forth the remark from Mr. Paynter, that
he was satisfied no jury would convict, and for him to do
so upon such an incredible and improbable story w°s out
of the question. Defendant was, therefore, discharged.

LOCAL MANUFACTIME.—A beautiful double-barrelled
gun has been made at the establishment of Mr. A.llport,
67, Old George's-street, which is, perhaps, the largest
double-barrelled fowling-piece ever manufactured. The
gun is made en an entirely new construction, a brief des-
cription of which may be understood by those acquainted
with the manufacture of firearms. The barrels, instead of
being soldered together, with a" rile" at top and bottom,
as double guns almost invariably are, are bolted together
through the patent breeches, top and bottom, and about
three feet six inches from the breeches the barrels are
" elipt" together with a strong double ring. Attached
to this is the frame of the spring swivel, and the other end
is screwed to the stock. The gun can be taken asunder in
five minutes, and converted into two single guns, by attach-
ing a second stock. The barrels are constructed of the
best twisted iron, the stock is made of gun metal, and the
locks are as nicely adjusted and as exactly fitted as
mechanical ingeauity could accomplish. Although the
gun weighs 372 lbs., it is so evenly balanced that a child
might work it in any direction, and disgbarge it with the
most perfect ease. Those who are fondf strand shooting
may feel some interest in learning the dimensions. The
barrels are nine feet long, and the weight of both amounts
to 224 lbs., the weight of the patent breeches is 36 lbs., of
the stock 56,1 be., and the spring swivel and frame also
weigh 56 lbs. The charge is intended to be a half pound
of powder and two you❑ds of shot for each barrel, and as
the gun is expected to kill at a range of nearly four hundred
yards, wild duck and other water fowl will be apt to find a
nearer location an exceedingly uncomfortable position.
The gun, which has been manufactured for a gentleman
residing near this city, reflects great credit on the estab-
lishment of Mr. Allport ; and we understand those who
desire to witness a highly interesting specimen of
mechanical skill and ingenuity, will be affor'el the oppor-
tunity for a few days at the establishment of Mr. Allport.
