EXPERIMENTS AT BERLIN WITH IRON MUSKET BULLETS.
—The Prussian ingenieur staff has been making experi-
ments with a new projectile for muskets, the effects of
which are described as highly satisfactory. Exact de- .
tails have not been published, but enough has transpired
to enable others to test the value of the invention. The
experiments in question refer, namely, to the employ-
ment
of egg-shaped cast-iron bullets.
THE RUSSIANS ABROAD.- -It is now understood that
one of the Russian frigates that was at Rio- the Diana,
52-- was at Valparaiso when the packet sailed, and the
other frigate, Aurora, was daily expected. Our force
there was the flag-ship President, 50, Rear Admiral
Price, but the Amphitrite, 20, Captain Frederick, wag
ordered down from Panama. We presume, therefore,
that although all will be safe at the neutral port, yet the •
frigates will not be lost sight of as soon as they get to-
gether, that is if the Pique, 40, Captain Sir F. Nicolson,
on her way to look after these frigates. has the misfor-
tune to miss the Aurora. At the neutral port of Rio it
appears also that there is a Russian man-of-war
schooner
the Requida. She tried to leave the port, but
man, 8, screw-steamer, also weighed at the same time,
and got outside with the view of making her prisoner ;
but the Russian got back to her anchorage again. We
may expect to hear something more of the Russians on
the coast of China by next mail, or the subsequent one,
There are now three regimental colonelcies at the dis-
posal of the Commander-in-C hief—those

i WOODS AND FOREsTS. RETIREMENT OF MR.
KENNEDY.—In consequence of the investigation into the
state of the royal forests which has for some time been
in progress, the commissionership lately held by Mr.
Kennedy has been vacated. We may presume that ex-
Iplanations in Parliament will be given of the reasons
which have led tcti. thi§ decision,—Dairy News,
