ROBERT OWEN AND THE DUKE OF KENT.—The follow-
ing dialogue recently took place through table-rappings,
between Robert Owen and the ghost of H. It. H. the
Duke of Kent, according to the solemn assurances of the
former :—" At Mr. Slater's, Sunday, 30th October,
1853. Eliza Finch, medium. Spirit announced by the
alphabet, His Royal Highness the Duke of Kent. (The
prefix, His Royal Highness,' is always mine. His
Royal Highness always announces himself simply Duke
of Kent.') Will your Royal Highness state what you
wish to say ?" Each one has a mission to perform.'
Last night it occurreed to me while writing down the
previous seances, that I would add a dedication to the
pamphlet, and I wrote .a short one, which I gave to
to insert in it. I intended to ask the Duke if I should
arid the dedication which I bad written to the other
MS.—but, without a word being said this morning to
any one about it, the Duke said, Get a dedication for
the pamphlet.' I said, Will the dedication which I
gave last night in MS. do ?" Yes—very well. The
spirit of the Duke then proceeded to say—' Appearances
will now yield to facts—but not so as to improve the
world too much. You must try to come to speak to me
at Mr. Hoyland's, but you must not be out late. Go
there at six o'clock, and go home directly after I have
spoken to you. I wish you to ask questions now.'
Should I publish two editions of the pamphlet ?" Yes
—one very superior, the other a cheap edition.' ' Can my
present printer, with his materials, print the superior
edition, in the manner desired for the upper classes ? '
`No—but he can print the second or cheaper edition.'

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Holloway's Pills, an Effectual
Remedy for Gout and Rheumatism.- -Extract of a
letter from Mr. W. Moon, at Messrs. Godwin s, auc-
tioneers, Winchester, dated April 8, 1852. To Professor
Holloway.—Sir,-,—l beg to inform you that for years I
was a sufferer fro'm chronic rheumatism, and often laid
uy for weeks together, unable to move. I was attended
by the most eminent surgeons here, but obtained no
relief; and was induced to go into our county hospital.
The medical treatment there, however, being of no
avail, I left, and commenced ding your pills, wbich, I
am happy to say, in a short time effected a perfect cure,
and enabled me to resume my employment.— Sold by all
druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment,
244, Strand, London.

sack in the Tartar language means a man who is lightly
armed ; and all these men in Russia who are dressed as
Cossacks, whO do custom-house duty on the frontier,
escort provisions and prisoners, although inhabitants of
the district, Are all called Cossacks. They are also armed
with the lance, a very harmless weapon in the hands of
those who have not been accustomed to handle it from
their very youth. A good fencer, either with small or
kiroad sword, knows that not one enlisted Lancer out of
a thousand, whether mounted or on foot, can touch him
with the lance ; and I have no hesitation in saying that
no Lancer, or any horse soldier, has any chance single-
handed with a private of the Chasseurs de Vincennes
drilled to their admirable bayonet exercise. I have stated
in former letters the severe examination which young
Frenchmen must undergo before they are admitted to
study at the military school of St. Cyr, and I this day
aee an order of the French Minister of War, that no young
man can be permitted to undergo that examination until
he shows he is a master of fencing, swimming, horse-
Ilflanatip, and gymnastics. We all know how easy it is
or Young man in Europe to enter as an officer, although
ry
ve
deficient in mental and physical qualities for his
profession. The privates of the French army are as
regularly The
to fence with the musket and fixed
bayonet as the cavalry with the sabre. But in the British
army there is no bayonet exercise, although we talk
much and arbattle e very proud of the " Charge bayonets."
Look at the proud
of
where that unfor-
tunate order was given, and the loss we sustained need-
lessly. Why should our brave and active fellows not
be taught this exercise ?

The fight of Oltenitza has proved me right. Your Cor-
respondent says, " that the infantry retained their fire
till the Russians were within 150 yards, the Chasseurs
(new rifle-muskets) only beginning at 300 yards."
This shows that the Turkish Chasseurs are not yet ac-
quainted with the power of this weapon. I have wit"

THE BLUE RIBBOND OF THE TURF.-At Tattenham•
corner my stable companion's bolt was shot, and giving
way Clearwell took the lead with two candidates for the
ambitious prize lying bet Ween him and me. It was now
that I improved the pace. Like an arrow I shot past
both of them, then being pulled as we crossed the road, I
hung, running well within myself, upon the quarters of
my antagonist, Clearwell. " Clearwell wins!" now rent
the very air; but as. I laid my head parallel with his
girths, they were answered by equally vociferous ones,
" Sheet Anchor—Sheet Anchor wins !" When just
within the distance my rival drew slightly in advance ;
but a single shake of my jockey's hand brought us neck
and neck, nose and nose. The set-to—the final struggle

well's body with the sound of exploding percussion-caps.
Three strides more, and we should be upon the post.
My heart was in the effort, and success was mine ! The
cheers which greeted my victory—the almost adulation
I received—are never to be forgotten. Men, with faces
beaming with enthusiastic joy, thronged about me as I
was pulled up, and seemed ready to kneel down and
worship the winner of such a contested race ; 'for the
award of the judge was—"won by a neck." Such was
the meridian of my fate.—John Mill's " Lift of a
Racehorse."

There can be no reason for this neglect,
except it may
hurt the prejudices and feelings of many an old Brown
Bess. I believe there never has been an instance of two
regiments in action contending in line with the bayonet
and I believe there are scarcely more than one or two
instances on record of men who were opposed to each
other in the field in daylight being found with bayonet
wounds in front. Certainly such cases may occur in
thick woods, or coming upon an enemy in sharply turn-
ing a street. I myself have seen two front wounds of
bayonets given by leaping on the enemy in a ditch. I
have seen many men killed by the bayonet, I have seen
others lying dead, and I have examined them, but all
the wounds were in the back part of the body. It must
be recollected that the French infantry, and I believe
other continental troops, are regularly drilled to the
bayonet exercise ; and rest assured, if one party knows
that the adversaries opposed are ignorant of attack and
defence, that no hurrah (and there is none like the Bri-
tish) will put them to flight. I cannot help saying it is
a shame that our fine fellows should not be drilled to

nessed the firing of 120 men with this new firearm at a
target representing a front of 16 infantry at a distance

of 000 yards. These men were good, indifferent, and
bad shots, each firing 10 rounds, making a total of 1,200
shots. About 1,100 took effect on this front of 16 men,
the remainder too high, but would have knocked down
cavalry, Now, all Cossacks have a terror of =S-
I ketry, and if a volley were fired at them, at 1,000 yards
distance, their officers would find it impossible to make
them advance. An idea seems to have gone abroad that
the rifle-musket is not efficient except in the hands of
those trained particularly to the use of this arm. It
can be loaded as quickly as the old musket. It carries
the ball much further. It causes great moral effect on
the rear of an army if some of them are knocked down
when they flatter themselves out of reach of shot. In
Africa it has been found useful, to cause confusion
among the Arabs, to order the infantry at times to fire
at an angle of nearly 45 degrees, that the balls may hit

LERWICK, Dec. 24—The Many Seton, which put in here
