Experiments at Shoebaryness,

Some most curious experiments, and likely in their
result to lead to a better appreciation in this country
of the value of the rifled ordnance we possess, were
made during Monday and Tuesday with "Big
Will," the 600 pounder of Sir William Armstrong.
It is now very nearly two years since this magnifi-
cent forging was completed, and just a year and
four months since it was delivered for testing and
trial at Shoebury—an interval sufficiently long to
enable even the French and other Governments to
test the shunt principle, and so far approve it as to
provide themselves with both 70 and 300 pounders
built and rifled on Sir William's system. It is, of
course, mortifying to think that guns of this kind,
which have in a great measure been brought to per-
fection at the expense of this country, should have
gone into the service of foreign Governments; but,
on the other hand, Sir W. Armstrong and Mr Whit-
worth, both of whose guns have been sent abroad
very freely of late, may retort, with
perfect justice,
that if the authorities chose to deny the value of
both their inventions, they could net be expected to
keep idle their vast plant, dismiss their hands, and
close their factories. Because two admirable guns
were pressed upon their notice our Government
determined to have neither, as they were uncertain
which was best ; and it was just because they
were
uncertain which was best that foreign Governmt:lts
haue taken a totally different course, and tried to
get as many of each as they could. It is to be
hoped, however, that the course of experiments with
various rifled guns which is now being entered upon
at Shoebury may put an end to this vacillation,
and lead not alone to the adoption of a good gun,
but, above all, to its immediate and extensive manu-
facture. It is something towards a solution of this
question that one 600-pounder has been tried,
though the trial might have been made with the
same ease and certainty just 16 months ego. This
excellent specimen of forging was made by the Els-
wick Ordnance Company. Its calibre is 131 inches,
its greatest external diameter 4 feet 51- inches, its
total length 15 feet 31 inches, and its weight up-
wards of 22 tons. This was, when it was delivered,
not only the largest gun made on Sir William Arm-
strong's coil system, but was also by far the largest
gun in existence. There are many 600-pounders on
other systems made now, and all for the use of
foreign Governments. The best idea of its tremen-
dous powers of destruction may be formed from a
description of its projectiles. These are of the usual
kind adopted by Sir William—namely, a common

TON'S RETREAT.

Sir G. GREY explained that there was no right of
appeal except in the case when a licence had been already
obtained, and that parties applying for licenses had a right
to be heard before they were refused-.
FOREIGN PASSPORTS.

Mr LAYARD said that the Emperor of the French,
with the greatest liberality, had removed all restrictions on
British subjects travelling in France, and it they were asked
to show a passport, it was merely to prove their nationality.
He could speak from personal experience that British
subjects were not exposed to any inconvenience in regard
to this matter. The other countries who were not
required to have passports were Bavaria, Belgium, Den-
mark, Italy, Prussia, Spain, and Norway. He recom-
mended that Englishmen should carry passports to avoid
any inconvenience.

soners purchased the hay Tideswell represented that he kept
the Black's Head, which siatement was proved to be false.
On the 22d of January the hay was taken by prosecutor to
a stable near the Black's Head, where he met the prisoners;
the hay was then unloaded and put in the stable, and
Tideswell kept the key. Tideswell then induced the prose-
cutor to walk with him for some distance, having preri-
ously given the key of the stable to a man named Green.
Tideswell also left Green with instructions to sell the ha)
while the prosecutor was out of the way. After an interval
sufficient to enable the scheme to be carried out the prose-
cutor was got rid of, who, when he returned to the stable to
I look after the hay, found that it and all the parties con-
cerned in the transaction had disappeared. The hay had
not been paid for. The defence was that the facts showed
a mere breach of contract, but his lordship told the PO'
that if at the time the prisoners obtained the hay from %r
Nixon on the false account of themselves which they ga/E;
they intended to deprive Mr Nixon of his hay by fraud an '1
without paying for it, and he never intended to part NO 11
the possession of his hay except on payment on delivery,' it
was larceny.
The jury found the prisoners guilty, and added to tb eit
verdict that they thought the case was greatly aggravated
by their being so many other cases against the prise ne rS,
and wished to suggest to his lordship the propriety of 0138-
ing a severe sentence.
The learned Judge.—l fear, gentlemen, you have h Ora
of other cases.

The Foreman—We have, my lord.
His Lordship said ho thought it desirable that another
charge should be gone into.
The prisoners were then indicted for obtaining by rro°tlns
of false pretences 7 tons of straw from Aston, at Penkri( lge,
on the 2d of September last, and with a conspiracy to de"
fraud the same of goods, and also with obtaining
by false pretences and conspiring to defraud Wm. Cinn
on the 13th of October last, of 3 tons 6 cwt. of straw, it"
Bucknall, in Stoke-upon-Trent, and similar charges wets
laid against them with respect to 17cwt. of hay, the pro-
perty of Bryan Ward, at Gayton, in Sandon, on the 14th 01
November last. The prisoners in each of the cases went to
the respective prosecutors, and alleging that they wore the
proprietors of a hay and straw warehouse, and adding
to
Aston's case, that James kept the Bird-in-Hand public-
house at Stoke, and in "Ward's case, that Tideswell did 13°,
obtain from them the hay and straw mentioned in the
in-
dictment, on promises of immediate payment—but the pay-
ment was avoided on various pretences, and their statement°
with respect to themselves were proved to be false.
The jury at once found the prisoner guilty.
His Lordship then sentenced them to penal servitude for
3 years on the conviction for the larceny, and to 3 Years'
penal servitude, to commence at the conclusion of the pre-
vious sentence, upon the second conviction.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

EXTRA.OnDINARY DELUSION.—A. respectably-dressed
female, who said her name was Sanders, and that she lived
in Stephen-street, Tottenham-court-road, waited upon Mr
Knox this morning to make a complaint against a foreigner
who annoyed her, and to ask the magistrate's advice.

Mr Knox—What is the nature of your complaint?

Applicant—A foreigner has an electrifying machine, and
he is always electrifying me. Wherever I go he follows
me about and electrifies me, and I can get no rest at night.

It has been going on for a long time, and I am always being
subjected to electric shocks. It does not matter where I
live, it is the same in every house. When I pass a public-
house he electrifies me, and experiments upon me to show
the people his power over me. I can refer you to persons
who know the truth of what I state, and I have a witness
of the man's conduct towards me. _ _

Mr Knox—Perhaps you will give me some of the names
of persons who know you.
The applicant then mentioned the names of some persons.
Mr Knox—lf you call again in a week I will let you know
what can be done.

Applicant—l am much obliged to you.
The applicant loft the court very pleased, and seemingly
much relieved in her mind, and Mr Knox ordered one of
the officers to make some inquiries respecting her so that
her friends may be communicated with.
James Elderfeld, was charged with stealing a watch and
chain of the value of £lO, the property :of Mr James Has-
lett, of 22, Duke-street, Grosvenor-square.
Mr Haslett went into the Princess Stores, Prince's-
street, St. George's, to have some refreshment with an old
acquaintance, end, having taken a little too much, fell
asleep. The prisoner, who was an entire stranger to Mr
Haslett, but had been treated by him, sat by his side, and
was seen to take the watch and chain from his pocket.
Charles Barnes, 83 C, was sent for, and on taxing the pri-
soner with having taken Mr Haslett's watch and chain
he solemnly denied doing so, but on being taken into custody
and when near the station-house door he handed the
articles to the constable, stating that he took them because
Mr Haslett did not appear capable of taking care of them
himself. . . . .

Mr Knox remanded the prisoner, that inquiry might be
made into his character, and for the attendanc3 of the person
who saw him take the watch and chain out of Mr Ilaslett's
pocket.

HOME CIRCUIT.—LEwEs, July 20.

The learned Judges arrived here this morning, and Mr
Baron Martin opened the commission—and after attendance
at Divine Service ho proceeded to charge the grand jury,
and then both he and Mr Justice Willes proceeded at once
to try prisoners in order to make sure of getting through the
business. The calendar is in point of number, and, with
hardly an exception in point of gravity, rather light. There
were only 22 cases, almost all of them of an ordinary cha-
racter, and of these the bills were thrown out in several
cases. This was owing to the fact that the County Quar-
ter Sessions were held here the other day, and that on
Monday the Brighton Quarter Sessions were held before
Mr Locke, the Recorder, and a very largs number of cases
(nearly 40) being disposed of by him on that day and on
Tuesday, of course the result was considerably to lighten
the calendar, and relieve the learned Judges at the assizes.
CROWN COURT.
(Befcre Mr Justice Wines.)

The first case tried before the learned Judge was one of
some interest, on account of its bearing on a somewhat im-
portant question of criminal procedure which has been
mooted lately, both in and out of Parliament, with resYpect
to the propriety of allowing prisoners to be examined. es-
terday the point was mentioned at the Brighton Sessions
before Mr Locke, the Recorder, a learned counsel observ-
ing in the course of his address on behalf of a prisoner,that
it would have been well for her if her evidence could have
been taken, as it would have established her innocence.
The learned Recorder, in summing up the case. remarked
upon this, and said that it must ba borne in mind that if a
prisoner was pertnitttd to be Examined upon own be.

THE ARRANGEMENT OF CABS AT CREMORNE.—
Adolphus Berkley, a cab-driver, was charged with being
drunk and causing a great obstruction and confusion out-
side Cremorne Gardens.

Thomas Roe, police-constable, 113 V, said that at half-
past eleven last night the defendant caused a great deal of
confusion and disorder outside Cremorne. For the main-
tenance of good order and convenience of the public, but a
limited number of cabs were allowed on the rank at a time,
and defendant, who was drunk, disobeyed the orders, and
insisted upon going there, The place was exceedingly
narrow, and the greatest obstruction was caused, De-
fendant positively refused to go away, and was very violent.
Other witnesses were called, who showed the confusion
and resistance made by the defendant,
Mr Selfe remarked that he had frequently seen the man
there before.

Defendant admitted that he had been charged with
drunkenness.

Mr Selfe (to Richard Gamble, the defendant's mastet)—
How is it that the time at which ho entered your service is
not stated on the licence which is produced ?
Gamble—l dont put it on until they leave me, or if they
aro only with me a short time.
Mr Selfe—That is the very thing objected to. The
magistrates, for their guidance, require it to be known ho x
long a cabman holds his employment, because if a man 'a
long with his employer the inference is that ho is a sober,
well-conducted man. If, on the contrary, ho goes about
from place to place, staying only a few days with any one
one is naturally led to the conclusion that he is a bad man,
The act of Parliament requires this entry shall be made,
and the magistrates aro continually calling attention to it.
Defendant admitted that he had been drinking, but said
that other men also went on the rank.

Mr Selfe—l have no doubt that you are commonly in-
toxicated. I ehall fine you 20s, or commit you for a month

THE SPANISH SLAVE TRADE.
Lord BROUGHAM reverted to the discussion which
took plac3 on this subject the other evening for the purpose
of correcting a misapprehension which existed as to the
observations that fell from him. In censuring the Spanish
governors of Cuba for taking bribes he specially excepted
General Dolce, who, to his great honour, refused to become
a party in any degree to the carrying on of the abominable
traffic. All he could say was that he only wished the other
Spanish colonial governors were half as good as General
Dolce, because then an end would soon be put to the slave
trade.

CRolni COURT.

Mr Justice Byles, in charging the grand jury, observed
that there had been an Act of Parliament recently passed
which enabled the judge, in the case of robbery accom-
panied by personal violence, to inflict the punishment of
flogging. He did not conceive it was any part of the duty
of a judge to offer any opinion on the policy or impolicy of
the enactment, but honestly to carry out the intention of
the Legislature. On another circuit which he had gone
that sentence had been awarded, and he hoped the result
would be beneficial. At the same time, great discrimina-
tion was required. -In some cases such a punishment might
be very cruel upon a half-starved or enfeebled mechanic. It
must be left to the discretion of the judge. The subject of
secondary punishment had become very important, for the
beat of all punishment, transportation, was at an end, Pri-
soners were sentenced to long periods of imprisonment ; the
consequence would bo that every prison would be full and
overflowing. There was no other county where upon a
large scale the employment of prisoners in the open air was
adopted. They could not approach the borders of this
county without seeing the magnificent works which had
been constructed by the convicts. There was a vast num-
ber of public works which, if left to private enterprise,
would never be completed ; commercially it would be im-
possible. He could not help thinking it to be worthy of
consideration whether such great results might not be ex-
tended to other portions of the kingdom. It was labour
similar to that upon which convicts were employed if trans-
ported. It might be the means of creating a feeling of
terror in every person, and was no waste of muscle or
strength of the convicts, and no injustice was clone to any
one. This town had a peculiarity—it was planted with
magnificent walks on all sides, for the benefit of everybody.
They were not only ornamental, but salutary. It was with
great regret he saw that they had been damaged, and that
spoil had been committed. If anythin of that kind should
come before the judge the offenders might depend upon it
that they would be dealt with with the utmost severity. It
was not private property—it was public property, and be-
longed chiefly to that portion of the public who had nothing
else—the poor—their only means of enjoying the light of
the sun and the beauty of the country.
CROWN COURT.
(Before Mr Justice Sheer)

William James and Thomas Tideswell were indicted for
stealing one ton of hay, the property of Thomas Nixon, on
the 19th of January last, at Clayton, in the parish of Trent-
ham.
Mr Motterani was for the prosecution ; Mr Young do •
fended Tideswell. James was nut defended by counsel.
On the 19th of January last the prisoners went to Mr
Nixon's farm at Clayton, and arranged for a ton of hay to
be delivered for them at the Black's Head bcerhouse at
Stoke, and to be paid. for on delivery, At the time the pri-

If no unforeseen accident should occur, there is
every reason to believe that both Mr Furness and
Mr Ritson will have finished their contracts within,
the stipulated time. Happily, no unexpected diffi—
culty has hitherto presented itself. The formation
of the railway under the Embankment will make
some alteration in the works necessary, and will
affect the terms of the contracts, bat not to a serious
extent. Since the commencement of the present
summer one-third of the entire sewage of the north
side of London has been diverted from the Thames..
The construction of the low level sewer is at a stand,
awaiting the further progress of the Embankment,
but there is every probability that before three
years have passed we shall see the Thames an un.
polluted river, and that we shall be able to look at
it, as it flows through the heart of the metropolis.,
as one of the most magnificent promenades of
which Europe will be able to boast.

stone duly laid, a cheer rose from I ielow, and
was taken up and continued by the hun-
dreds of mechanics and navvies in the yard. A
sketch of the scene was taken by more than one
artist. Mr Thwaites addressed the assembly at
some length, tracing the progress of the idea of em-
banking the Thames from the time it was first pro-
pounded until Mr Cowper gave it effect. Mr Cow-
tier, in proposing a vote of thanks to Mr Thwaitee,
de scribed the work as one of the great unc ertakings
of t:le day. Ire observed that, when the Embank-
ment was completed, from Biackfriars to vlrestmin-
ster there would be a magnifiztent promenade, hav--

was, he maintained, the finest Gothic building in
Europe. Lord S. -:',fanners seconded the vote, and a
similar vote INAS passed to Mr Baellg.ette, who was
warmly congratulated on the ability displayed. by
him as engineer of the Embankment. Thanks were
subsequently voted to Mr Cowper and Lord John
Manners, and most of the party proceeded to a
marquee and partook of a luncheon provided by Mr
Furness, and supplied by Mr Lucas, of Parliament,

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

EXTRAORDINARY DELUSION.—A. respectably-dressed
female, who said her name was Sanders, and that she lived
in Stephen-street, Tottenham-court-road, waited upon Mr
Knox this morning to make a complaint against a foreigner
who annoyed her, and to ask the magistrate's advice.
Mr Knox—What is the nature of your complaint?

Applicant—A foreigner has an electrifying machine, and
he is always electrifying me. 'Wherever I go he follows
me about cold electrifies me, and I can get no rest at night.

It has been going on for a long time, and I am always being
subjected to electric shocks. It does not matter where I
live, it is the same is every hcuse. When I pass a public-
house he elec",.ri&s me, and experiments upon me to show
the people his power over me. I can rofer you to persons
who know the truth of what I state, and I Nava a witness
of the man's conduct towards me.

Mr Knox—Perhaps you will give me some of the names
of persons who know you.
The applicant then mentioned the names of some persons.
Mr Knox—lf you call again in a week I will let you know
what can be done.

Applicant—l am much obliged to you.
The applicant left the court very pleased, and seemingly
much relieved in her mind, and Mr Knox ordered one of
the officers to make some inquiries respecting her so that
her friends may be communicated with.
James Elderfeld, was charged with stealing a watch and
chain of the value of £lO, the property ,of Mr James Has-
lett, of 22, Duke-street, Cirosvenor-square.

Mr Haslett went into the Princess Stores, Prince's-
street, St. George's, to have some refreshment with an old
acquaintance, and, having taken a little too much, fell
asleep. The prisoner, who was an entire stranger to Mr
Haslett, but had been treated by him, sat by his side, and
was seen to take the watch and chain from his pocket.
Charles Barnes, 83 C, was sent for, and on taxing the pri-
soner with having taken Mr Ilaslett's watch and chain
he solemnly denied doing so, but on being taken into custody
and when near the station-house door he handed the
articles to the constable, stating that he took them because
Mr llaslett did not appear capable of taking care of them
himeelr.

Mr Knox remanded the prisoner, that inquiry might be
made into his character, and for the attendanco of the person
who saw him take tha watch and chain out of Mr Ilaslett's
pocket.

Boners purchased the hay Tideswell represented that he kept
the Black's Head, which statement was proved to be false.
On the 22d of January the hay was taken by prosecutor to
a stable near the Black's Head, where he met the prisoners;
the hay was then unloaded and put in the stable, and
Tideswell kept the key. Tideswell then induced the prose-
cutor to walk with him for some distance, having previa
ously given the key of the stable to a man named Green.
Tideswell also left Green with instructions to sell the hay
while the prosecutor was out of the way. After an interval
sufficient to enable the scheme to be carried out the prose-
cutor was got rid of, who, when he returned to the stable to
look after the hay, found that it and all the parties con-
cerned in the transaction had disappeared. The hay had
not been paid for. The defence was that the facts showed
a mere breach of contract, but his lordship told the jury
that if at the time the prisoners obtained the hay from Mr
Nixon on the false account of themselves which they gave
they intended to deprive Mr Nixon of his hay by fraud and
without paying for it, and ho never intended to part with
the possession of his hay except on payment on delivery, it
was larceny.
The jury found the prisoners guilty, and added to their
verdict that they thought the case was greatly aggravated
by their being so many other cases against the prisoners,
and wished to suggest to his lordship the propriety of pass-
ing a severe sentence.
The learned Judge—l fear, gentlemen, you have heard
of other cases.
The Foreman—We have, my lord.
His Lordship said he thought it desirable that another
charge should bo gone into.
The prisoners were then indicted for obtaining by means
of false pretences 7 tons of straw from Aston, at Penkridge,
on the 23 of September last, and with a conspiracy to de-
fraud the same of goods, and also with obtaining
by false pretences and conspiring to defraud Wm. Clews,
on the 13th of October last, of 3 tons 6 cwt. of straw, at
Bucknall, in Stoke-upon-Trent, and similar charges were
laid against them with respect to 17cwt. of hay, the pro-
perty of Bryan Ward, at Gayton, in Sandon, on the 14th of
November last. The prisoners in each of the cases went to
the respective prosecutors, and alleging that they were the
proprietors of a hay and straw warehouse, and adding in
Aston's case, that James kept the Bird-in-Hand public-
house at Stoke, and in Ward's case, that Tideswell did so,
obtain from them the hay and straw mentioned in the in-
dictment, on promises of immediate payment—but the pay-
ment was avoided on various pretences,'and their statement,s
with respect to themselves were proved to be false.
The jury at once found the prisoner guilty.
His Lordship then sentenced them to penal servitude for
3 years on the conviction for the larceny, and to 3 years'
penal servitude, to commence at the conclusion of the pre-
vious sentence, upon the second conviction.
