TRIAL OF THE SEA SERVICE MORTAR.

A further trial of the sea service mortar, weighing
more than 5 tons, throwing a 13-inch shell of 2001 b.
weight, with a charge of 201 b. of powder, fitted on the
principle proposed by Captain Julius Roberts, of the
Royal Marine Artillery, has taken place at Shoebury-
ness, in the presence of several scientific officers connect
ed with the service. This trial has fully established the
use of this mortar (fitted as it is) for batteries, trenches,
or any land fortifications, as well as afloat. Twenty
rounds were fired most successfully, and in every respect
satisfactorily ; the former inefficiency of the muzzle
lashing-straps having been effectually remedied, 40
seconds only being required to load and fire each shell.
It was found, after 20 rounds, that the body of the
mortar was not in the least heated by the quick firing.

ODESSA.

- - ---
The Soldier's Friend of Vienna, which has taken
he name of the Military Gazette, and the tendencies
of which towards Russia are well known, has re-
ceived from Odessa the following account of the
movement of the Russians in the Crimea :
"In order to prevent a coup de main against
Perekop, the division of General Pawloff, the bri-
gade of General Wrangel, the four regiments of
dragoons, were detached on the 18th ult. towards
Armgansk,i and took up a position on the road
whick commands the isthmus. The light division
of. IThlans, undo. General Korff, was still holding its
winter quarters near Eupatoria, its head-quarters being
at Saki. The 51st regiment of Cossacks of the Don had
joined it, and these troops will in the early part of
January, it is said, commence• an offensive movement
against Eupatoria. In the meantime, in order to secure
the communications with Perekop, reinforcements are
being brought up from Odessa. The total force now at
Perekop, in cavalry and infantry, amounts to 50,000
men. The Bth division, which arrived at Bakshi-Serai
on the 28th December, was immediately after reviewed
by General Osten-Sacken, who complimented it on its
fine appearance, and said, You have come by or-
der of your august sovereign to maintain the glory of
your ancestors and the honour •f Russia, our sacred
country ! my children ! It is unnecessary for me to
tell you that the eyes of your sovereign, as well as those
of your fellow-countrymen, are on you, as the defenders
of the word of Jesus Christ, our Saviour. There are
among you many whom I have already commanded on
fields of battle in Persia, Poland, and Hungary ; re-
member the past, and continue to behave as becomes
brave Russians. The moment will soon arrive, when
you will leave no other choice to the enemy than death
or captivity. Until that time, adieu.",
Letters from Odessa, of the 6th, state that a hard
frost, equal to 9 or 10 degrees below the freezing
point, had succeeded to gusts of wind and falls of
snow, which prevailed throughout nearly the entire
month of December, and the roads had thus been
brought into a fit state for the conveyance of troops
and-muntitions of war to Perekop.
Generals Dannenberg and Read were at Odessa
on the 6th ; the former was on the point of setting
off for St. Petersburg, where he is going to take
his new seat as member of the Upper Council of
War ; the latter was going to assume the command
of the thiri army corps of infantry.

MISCELLANEOUS.

The total number of regular transports now in the
employ of Government is 1810; one-third of the number
is propelled by steam power ; they have, altogether, the
measurement of about 114,600 tons.
The Colonel Commandant of the garrison at Sheer-
ness has received orders to prepare barrack fitments for
400 newly-raised men in the artillery corps. The. new
barracks are being appropriated for them, and they are to
take possession of their new quarters this day. They
are sent from the depot at Woolwich for drill ; there
will be snore than 400 rank and file in garrison at
Sheernesp.

On the arrival of the sick and wounded troops at
Liverpool, on Monday, the Mayor (Mr. J. A. Tobin)
supplied them with new shirts and sheeting at his own
expense. _ _

The Loire, chartered screw, left Southampton docks
yesterday morning with wines, provisions, &c., for the
Crimea. The American clipper ship White Falcon, char-
tered by the French Government for the conveyance of
yooden houses, put into the inner dock at Southampton
esterday morning. She will commence loading as speedily
as possible. The Swiftsure, sailing transport, is fast
filling with huts, and will soon be ready to depart for
the Crimea. Her Majesty's ship Himalaya is now lying
in the graving-dock at Southampton, having her screw
repaired. She will not be ready for sea for a fortnight.
The Severn, chartered transport, will be ready to receive
troops on Sunday, and will, we understand, depart on
Tuesday. Messrs. Copeland and Barnes are supplying
her stores. The Crcnsus, screw-transport, will be in readi-
ness for sea on the 28th inst.

evn
on no other hypothesis is it intelligible that he should
place himself in opposition to the well-known opinion of

the tricky, and often shallow, rhetorical artifices he em-
ploys, and the manner in which arguments that can
carry no conviction to his own mind are pressed into
his service, we should suppose that h
—0 was the
advocate of another man's conclusion rather than
of his own deep and solemn conviction. lie deals
most copiously in remarks which tend to preju-
dice the judgment without cenvincing the reason,
and with the concomitant circumstances and col-
lateral results, rather than the intrinsic merits of
the question. The real subject of debate is whether it
be expedient for us to put forth our strength to resist
the further aggressions of Russia, and not to lay down
our arms Until we have obtained a peace which shall se-
cure to us the objects for which we took the 1113. Bear
this steadily in mind, and then see how much of the four
columns of our space which Mr. Cobden's speech occu-
pies was really applicable to the subject. Like a dex-
terous rhetorician, Mr. Cobden puts the most unpalat-
able topic first. We have undertaken an expensive en-
terprise, and must pay for it, in the disagreeable alter-
native of direct taxation, indirect taxation, or a loan.
Mr. Cobden pronounces for direct taxation, and for an
extension of its area. He must, We think, have been
rather surprised to find that his audience did not
wince from his proposition, and had not, as he seems to
have supposed, gone to war without counting the
cost. But what had this to do with the question
as above •stated ? Expense is common to all wars,
be they wise or foolish, just or unjust. An orator
who so earnestly disclaims the peace principles
which he went to Frankfort to advocate five. years ago
should not condescend to a topic which none but those
friends of peace " who have lost all influence over prac-
tical minds" can consistently use.. The next topic is a
mi,representation—the putting an absurdity into the
mouth of his antagonist, and then triumphantly demo-
lishing it.--a piece of rhetorical legerdemain in which
Mr. Cobden greatly delights. The member for the
West Riding hardly did justice to the intelligence of 4iB

the following- from Varna of the Ist. On the 25th
Prince Menschikoff issued a general order, which
has been also published at Simpheropol and
Bakshi-Serai. It concludes with these words
" By the help of God and our indomitable force we
shall vanquish and annihilate our enemies." Gen.
Montrose commands at Perekop, ,General Korff
before Eupatoria, General Pawloff at Simpheropol,
and General Osten Sacken at Bakshi-Serai. The
last-named officer received a reinforcement of
12,000 men on the 28th ult. General Liprandi,
who had received orders to advance against the
gorge of the Valley of Balaklava, where the Turks
are posted, executed the order with success.

"Dr. Plekford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-

and Nledteal Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who suffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that' which the quacks most prize—
much money.... —This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhma, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."

LAUNCH 01' HER MAJESTY'S YEW

STEAM YACHT.

Her Majesty's magnificent new steam yacht the Vic-
toria and Albert, to complete which every artisan of the
establishment has of late been employed from daylight
until ten o'clock at night, was launched at Pembroke on
Tuesday last, the 16th inst.
In the construction of this vessel the aid of all the
talent of the Surveyor's department has been employed ;
and, judging from her appearance, it may truly be said
with every possible success. Her bow is a perfect wedge,
her run clean and beautiful, and her whole model such
as to insure the greatest speed. She has been built upon
the diagonal plan, and is consequently exceedingly
strong, though not of heavy scantling. Her frame tim-
bers, cut from the lightest wood compatible with the
requisite strength, are not, as in common cases, placed
some distance apart, but in immediate contact with each
other, firmly bolted and dowelled together, forming one
entire mass from stem to stenapost. To these a diagonal
course of planking is securely nailed. This is covered
with a coating of oiled thick paper, and then there is
another planking running in an opposite diagonal direc-
tion. On this there is a layer of thick felt, and then a
final planking fore and aft. These are all bolted together
and clinched inside and out, so that any movement of a
portion without disturbing the whole fabric is impossible.
The whole space from the paddle-boxes aft is devoted to
the accommodation of royalty. On the upper deck there
is a large dining room 24 ft. by 17 ft., glazed all round,
and in the roof a camera obscura is fixed, affording a pic-
ture of all that is passing around. There are also two
glazed alcoves from which an uninterrupted view is ob-
tained of the surrounding scenery. On the second deck are
the royal apartments, the bulkheads and ceilings of which
are all lined with thick felt, so that neither sound nor
moisture can penetrate. The state cabin is 21 feet by 17,
and the royal bed chamber 19 by 14, with a dressing !Tom
at each end. The cabins are thoroughly ventilated by
means of pipes passing up through the ship's sides, and
terminating at the gunwale upon deck.
The launch took place about 4 o'clock, and was at-
tended by a very large concourse of spectators. The
ceremony of naming was performed by Lady Milford. A
handsome little tool chest, lined with crimson velvet,
and containing a chisel and mallet, was presented to her
ladyship, with which she severed the cord that released
the superincumbent nines, and the yacht at once most
successfully rushed into the waters of the haven.
The following are some of her principal dimensions :
—Length over all, 340 feet ; ditto between the perpen-
diculars, 300 ft. ; ditto of keel for tonnage, 275 ft. ;
breadth extreme, 40 ft. 3 in. ; ditto for tonnage 40 ft. ;
ditto moulded, 39 ft. ; depth of hold, 24 ft. ; burthen,
2,342 tons ; power, 600 horse ; diameter of paddle-
wheels, 31 ft. ; dimensions of paddles, 11 ft. 6 in. by 5
ft. 6 in. ; diameter of cylinder, 7 ft. ; stroke of piston-
rod, 3 ft. 6 in.

and the others, as these latter, though they have not
joined in the quarrel, have afforded protection to the
Marines when they have found an isolated one likely to
be ill-used. It is probable that the Legion will be broken
up, the Germans being sent to Shornciiffe, whilst many
others in the Legion are desirous of joining the Marines.
The Ameri;.•an recruits for the Legion do not appear to
be so good a class of characters as those who have been
collected at Shorncliffe. Another batch of about 130 ar-
rived on Friday, in the Emma Eugenie, and have not
yet disembarked. On the passage the fights and quarrels
amongst them were continual, and the captain had the
greatest difficulty in preserving a sufficient amount of
order to enable the ship to be worked. Fortunately he
also had about 60 Royal Artillerymen on board—men
who had volunteered from Bermuda for service in the
Crimea. These had to form a guard over the recruits, and
but for them the ship could hardly have been brought
over.

On Sunday the county magistrates held a meeting, and
directed their clerk, Mr. J. Hoskins, to write to the
commandant of the Royal Marines, Col. Graham, and
the commandant of the Foreign Legion, Major Bowles,
stating the serious disturbances that had taken place, and
the apprehension of the inhabitants that they would be
followed by still worse, arid to prevent which the bench
begged those officers to confine their men to the barracks
for the present. Maj,r Bowles at once complied
with the request, but Colonel Graham declined to do
so in a note to the bench, which the latter con-
sider.] to be in its terms highly discourteous to them.
The result was that the Marines were at large, but the
Legionaries being confined to barracks, no disturbance
ensued. Yesterday Mr. Hoskins was directed to wait
upon the lieutenant-goveruor of the garrison, Major-
General Breton, and lay before him the facts, together
with the letter. This Mr. Hoskins has done, and yes-
terday afternoon General Breton ordered the comman-
dant to confine the Marines within barracks till further
orders, intending, we are informed, to forward the letter
in question to the Admiralty.

RUSSIA.

Our latest advices from St. Petersburg state
that from all parts of the empire there arrive in the
capital news of the complete formation of the
troops of reserve, and of the departure of the first
levy of the companies of National Militia, which
are to meet at Kiew. The reserves, it is asserted
in official quarters, will number nearly 300,000
men.

AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, Sept. 21.—There is neither political
nor local news worthy of mention.
The cholera has reached Cattaro, and has pro-
f bably made its way into the neighbouring princi-
pality of Montenegro, as we learn by telegraphic
advices from Zara that Mirko Petrovitch, the
Prince's brother, is reported to have died of that
disease.
An Austrian Cabinet messenger left Vienna on
Wednesday for the North, but it is not known
whether his despatches were for Berlin or St.
Petersburg. In official circles there is little hope
that Russia will be more disposed to yield now
than she was three months ago.
A letter from Vienna, given in Le Nord, states
that among the two thousand horses bought by the
English officers for the army in the Crimea, a large
number were lately belonging to the Austrian ca-
valry, which underwent considerable reduction
about three months ago, when the supernumerary
animals were sold. These horses were to be em-
barked immediately on board steamers, and to be
conveyed from Pesth to Rustchuk. They would
afterwards be taken to Varna, and thence conveyed
!in transports to Balaklava. The Danube Steam
Navigation Company is to receive 45 francs for each
horse carried to Rustchuk.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S—MONDAY.
It must not be inferred from the appearance of the
subjoined list that a large amount of business was trans-
acted on the Cesarewitch. Most of the bets were °Ili)/
on a small scale—some of them, indeed, were scarcely
worth quoting.
The principal outlay was on Robgill-700 to 100 was
taken twice, and the same odds were booked to divers
small sums. Al one time Mr. Sykes advanced to 15 to
1, but layers were eager, and he quickly fell hack to 18
to 1. In the early part of the afternoon 2,000 to 100
was taken about Monarque, but towards the close 30 to
1 was repeatedly offered. 500 to 5 was at first laid
against Vindex. As soon as it was known, however,
that be had won the Lincolnshire Handicap the odds
dropped to 40 to 1.
The quotations at the close were as follows :
EASTERN COUNTIES HANDICAP.
10 to 3 agst Flacrow (4 to 1 taken)
10 to 1 agst Pharos (taken)
10 to 1 Chalice (taken)

The room was very thinly attended, several of the
members having left town for Newmarket.

DOILINO.—We are requested by the owner of Domino
to state that on his arrival at Lincoln last Sunday even-

DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY. -Tam McGuire, a
young man who is well•known to the police, was brought
before Mr. -I ardley, charged with committing a very
daring robbery last evening in Princess-street, S
George-in-the-East.

Robert Anderson, a searuar, stated that he was lodg-
ing at No. 1, Princess-street, Ratcliff-highway. Yes-
terday morning soon after six o'clock he was walking
along Princess-street when the prisoner same up to him,
made a snatch at his watch-guard and broke the ring.
Before he could recover himself the prisoner stole his
watch and ran away with it.

James Curey, a boy, was talking to the sailor when
the robbery was committed. He pursued the prisoner,
and saw him throw the watch over a fence in Christian!

BOW.STREET.

ROBBERY OF 100/.—This morning Frederick: Ralph
Barrell was placed at the bar for final examination,
charged with stealing the sum of one hundred pounds,
the property of his employers, Messrs. Woodhead, of
James-street, Adelphi, navy agents, by falsely entering
a cheque for 1971. 19s. as only drawn for 971. 195., and
embezzling the remainder.
In addition to his former evidence, Mr. Young stated
it -gas the usual practice of the house to cheque
the money transactions of the prisoner. It was made
monthly, and the mode was to obtain the cheques from
the bank and compare them with the books. One per-
son called over the amounts, and another examined the
books. He (witness) took the cash-book to see that the
purchases were all entered. The prisoner took the
vouchers, and his clerk took the banker's pass-book. The
July accounts were in course of examination when the
prisoner absented himself from the office. In calling
over the cheque produced for 1971., the clerk called the
amount 971. 195., and when that amount was called he
made a mark in the cash-book, in order to show
that the book was right. He thought the pencil-
mark on the cheque was made by the prisoner.
The prisoner was authorised to till up signed cheque s
for any sum which he considered necessary for businr
transactions, and which he ought duly to have accour,ted
for in his books.

In cross examination Mr. Young said he had no, posi-
tive recollection of any circumstance relative to the

cheque in question.
William Dennis Townshend was a foreman to 'Smith
and Sons, pawnbrokers, 1, Clark's-place, Isli ngton.
Knew the prisoner, and had dealings with him as a cus-
tomer. The six five-pound notes produced he h: td had
in his possession on a former occas;on. On the sth of
September this year he received the notes from the pri-
soner in payment for a general account of goods sup-
plied. Ile was confident the notes were the name as he
received from the prisoner, as they each bore his private
mark. The notes in question were a portion of those
pad by Mr. Stanley, the ca.hier in Coutts' bank, to the
prisoner for a cheque of 1971. 19-3. drawn by the firm of
Woodhead and Co.
Mr. Lewis, who appeared for the prisoner, stated that
if the magistrate thought this case was a felony he
should advise him to reserve what he had to say in an.
swer to the charge elsewhere.
Mr. Jardine said he thought that this case ought to
go to a jury, as whatever question there might be in
regard to the legal technicalities he had nothing to do
with them. He should therefore commit him for trial at
the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court.
Mr. Lewis made an application LI. bail, but it was
refused.

SOUTHWARK•

ALLEGED BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A FEUALE BY HER
HUSBAND.— TVillia7n, Poland, a costermonger, living in
Union-street, was brought before Mr. Combe, charged
with beating his wife over the head and arms with a

poker.
The complainant, a gin-drinking looking female, but
whose upper lip was much swollen and covered with
blood, stated that, yestereay afternoon, the prisoner
came home, and as soon as he entered the house com-
menced abu,ing her. He told her that she had made
mischief with a young man at the Two Brewers public-
house in Union-street. She told him it was a falsehood,
she had not, when he struck her with his fists. She
retarned the blow, when he took up a poker and struck
her on the lip, and as he was going to strike her again
she put up her left arm to ward off the blow when she
received a cut across it. She immediately ran out and
informed the police, when she gave him into custody.

Mr. Combe—Has he ever beat you before ?
Witness—Oh yes, many times. He broke my ribs
once, and I was sent to the hospital, but I never came

;0 court before.

The prisoner here declared that all his wife had uttered
was false. She was a notorious drunkard, and spent
all his money in the public-houses, and when he remon-
strated with her she struck him, and aggravated him to
strike her, as she could give him six months. She
stabbed him once severely,

Mr. Combe—What have you to say to striking her
with the poker /
Prisoner—l never did so. Look at the poker. Had
I struck her with it on the face it must have broke her
jaw, or killed her.
The constable here produce a poker, which the female
said he struck her with across the face. It was a heavy
black ene, bent very much, but there was no blood on
it. The female's lip was not cut, neither were there any
marks such as to show that she had been struck with the
poker.
Mr. Combo asked the female whether any one saw
her husband strike her with the pker / She replied in
the negative, as she was in her own house.
Mr. Combo asked the police what was known of
either of them ?

Sergeant Fleming, 459 A, said the man was a hard-
working man, but spent a deal of money in a public.
house, and the female was a drunkard.
The prisoner said that was quite true, and as for the
marks on her face they were caused by their having a
fight, as he was compelled to protect himself. He,
however, never used the poker.
Mr. Combo said they both appeared a violent pair ;
but as it was clear he had used much violence towards
her he should adjourn the case for further evidence.
