SHELL PRACTICE ON DARTMOOR

For some time trials of shells have been made on Dart-
moor. The shells under trial are the Shrapnell shell of
Colonel Boxer, the Superintendent of the Woolwich
Laboratory (the Government establishment for the manu-
facture of missiles), and the Segment shell of Sir William
Armstrong. The targets represented a company of
infantry, consisting of about 30 files. There were two rows,
3 feet apart, 18 yards wide by 6 feet in height. The
distance of the guns was 1,300 yards. On the first
day of the trial, with fifteen rounds of Segment
shell the Horse Artillery made 12 hits, the Field
Battery 119. With the same number of Shrapnell
the Horse Artillery put in 136 fragments, the Field 178.
On the second day's practice the same description of targets
were used, but the distance was reduced to 1,000 yards.
The segment shells were only allowed their percussion
fuses, and were prohibited from having their time fuses
fixed—a manifest disadvantage. Results : Horse Artillery,
152 hits with segment shell ; Field, with ditto, 471; with
Shrapnell, 364 and 458 respectively. During the third
day's firing a new mark was fired at. Fifty dummies, half
of them (tbe front rank) of the height of men kneeling,
the others (the rear) of men standing, were placed in
skirmishing order, about five paces intervening between
the files. Sixty yards behind were targets to repre-
sent a company in support. The Horse Artillery fired
at these representations of humanity at 1,000 the
Field at 1,200 yards. With Shrapnell, in 15 rounds, the
first killed 12, wounded 3 ; the latter, 7 and 4. With
segment the results were, in the first instance, 5 killed,
9 wounded—most only slightly ; in the second, 12 and 11.
On this day the Horse Battery did not ascertain its dis-
tance in the manner that had been practised in all the
other experiments, namely, by laying two guns on the
object fired at. It was consequently found that an error
of sixty yards had crept into the range, which was
considered sufficient to vitiate the experiment,
which was repeated on the following day, when
13 were killed, 6 wounded, with segment ; 14 killed,
9 wounded, with Shrapnell. On all occasions it was found
that the Shrapnell inflicted great damage on the supports;
with the Field Battery over 100 hits having been made,
while comparatively trifling effects on these were obtained
by the segment, the destructive power of which was
confined to the skirmishers. The same unhappy dummies
were fired at, the supports being in this instance retired
to about 200 yards, and very fairly protected by the
natural slope of the ground. The H battery practised at
800, the F ditto at 1,500. With segment, the R.H.A. in
15 shots killed 13, wounded 1. The Field Battery
killed 7, wounded 1. With Shrapnell, 10 and 11 in the
first instance, 19 and 6 in the second. The Shrapnel
also put at 1,500 yards 26 hits into the supports, 13 at
900. The segment did but very trifling harm to the
supports.

,1)01177.1"G NOI ES.

There was great excitement at the City and West-end
Clubs on Saturday; iu fact there was notthi❑g tided about
but the raid the Scotland-yard authorities had made on
some of the large bottle); commission agents, and the
general opinion is that the police have gone a little too
far. After the Londoners having put up so long with the
eccentricities of an Irish Chief Commissioner of Police it
is out of the question that they should tolerate the same
with a Scotch one. In the meantime, it would be idle to
argue why the "upper crust" of betting society is not
broken into, while there is such a stir among the small fry,
for there is no Act of Parliament to prevent a free-born
Briton betting at his club or an other private place— nor
is there likely to be, i❑ despite of Mr. Poland's threat. The
Act of 1833 was passed through the house ostensibly
to put down "ready money" betting, and whilst the
doubt exists whether it can be made to apply to
commission agents, it would be ridiculous to argue that it
ought to touch those who in most cases bet in one place
—on a racecourse, or at Tattersall's, or at their club--and
pay or receive in another the Monday after the event is
over. " Suppressing betting" in 1869 i■ not so easy a
matter as was the closing of the offices—half of them
opened by welshers and swindlers—in 1853. The cur -
rent week will be a quiet one, and plating will be the
rule either at Aintree or Chelmsford, or at the Worcester
gathering on Thursday and Friday. Newmarket and
Epsom will supply most of the horses for the Chelmsfo:cl
races, and King Victor would make shoat work of most of
the competitors if he were brought out, but Stevn,s
has the easiest handicapped animal in the whole race
iu Chivalry. Miss Merryweather is at Nightingall's
Cpsom, and will beat all the best form in the Groat
Baddow Two Year Old Stakes, albeit the penalty
will stop her, if there is anything respectable
among the maidens, and the promising Birdie
has only:been beaten in good company. Wednes-
day's problems can be easier solved after the decision of
the above, and at present little can be done with the Liver-
pool bill of fare. The half score in the St. Leger include
nothing better than Scintilla, a very moderate animal in-
deed, even if she can stay a mile and a half ; and there is
not one worth naming iu the other three year old races,
the Sefton and Grand Stand Stakes. The Spy should
have no difficulty in carrying off the Liverpool Cup.

OUR RIRSUTE TARS.

Joy for the navy. Razors are abolished, at least
their compulsory use is. Midsummer Day 1809
will be a memorable one for our gallant tars ; on
that day they were set free from the tyranny of
lather and cold steel. But to their liberation certain
conditions are attached. The beard must not be
worn without the moustaches, nor the moustaches
without the beard. Moreover, if they be not kept
clean and of decent length, they will be once more
subjected to the old cruel bondage.

FOREIGN NOTES.
THE REVOLT OF THE VOLUNTEERS IN CUBA.

The telegrams we publish from Havanna chew that the
position of affairs in Cuba is becoming very serious for
Spain. The disaffection of the volunteers has, it appears,
subsided for the time ; they have not finally abjured their
duty; but how greatly such divisions between the Spaniards
themselves must favour the cause of the insurgents it is
needless to point out What with the assistance given
to the rebels by the Americans, and the mutiny of the
volunteers, the chance of Spain retainine. Cuba appears
at present smaller than ever.

The tumults which led to the resignation of General
Dulce, of which notification by cable reached us some
days ago, were chiefly owing to the belief that he was
incapable of suppressing the rebellion. This impression
had been gaining ground for some time, and filially a dis-
pute about the removal of General Pelaez gave rise to the
explosion. This Pelaez had been in command in the interior,
and, according to popularbelief, lad turned the advantages
of his position to the realisation of large sums of money,
which he itent off to Siniin. He was looked upon as a
traitor, and was finally driven to take refuge on board a
Spanish *lip. The volunteers waited upon General
Dulce and requested him to deliver up Pelaez. He
refused. He was asked to resign, which be likewise
refused.

A tremendous tumult then arose, and a battle between
the regular troops and the volunteers seemed inevitable.
But the former were by no means to be relied on ; the
latter were unanimous. The night of June 1 was spent
in terror by General Dulce's family, the mob surrounding
the viceregal palace, and howling all night for his abdica-
tion and his blood. The next morning the Captain-
General, finding his troops not to be depended on, resigned.
He signed his abdication, but protested that he did so
by force, andwith that act, he said, ended Spanish domina-
tion in Cuba.

This revolution, be it understood, was entirely brought

RENEWAL OF THE WAR IN PARAGUAY.

The Paraguayan Dictator, Lopez, will probably not
occupy a very high place in history ; but lie deserves at least
remembrance for his unconquerable perseverance. The
latest news from Paraguay seems to indicate that
the Allies, instead of finishing the war, have
half their work yet to do. Lopez appears to have
erected works of great strength throughout the Cordilleras
since the fall of Angostura. To carry these the Brazilian
army must separate from its fleet, to which it has hitherto
owed no small share of its success. The Paraguayan army
is now estimated at 10,000 men, with eighty pieces of
artillery. Some reports from the seat of war deserve
little attention, but it seems highly probable that a severe
campaign in the interior yet awaits the Allies.

believe that the canal will have attained the required depth
of twenty-six English feet throughout in the month of

THE PRINCESS CHARLOTTE.

According to a Brussels letter in the Patrie, the wife of
the ill-fated Maximilian is much better. The ten physi-
cians in attendance upon her hold cut some little hope of
recovery. The Princess is now subject only to intermittent
attacks of madness, and she employs her more lucid moments
in writing letters and part of a book on Mexico. In these
there is a fair admixture of nonsense and passages which
indicate great lucidity of mind. The poor lady has just
got over the second anniversary of the tragedy which put
an end to the Latin Empire in Mexico. It was on the
19th of June, 1867, that the Emperor Maximilian was
shot.
PRUSSIA AND UANOVER.

The Nuremberg correspondent of the Temps denies the
statement that the King of Prussia met with a good re-
ception at Hanover. Nothing could be more freezing
than the attitude of the people. A short time ago
the Crown Prince was received with open marks
of disapproval ; and though the Hanove rians did not
venture on this course in the cage of the King,
they shewed their dissatisfaction by quitting the city. ,It
is clear, says the writer, that the people of Hanover are
to be looked upon as a conquered race, and as nothing
else. Such a verdict from the Petrie would be of no con•
sequence, but coming from such a moderate paper as the
Temps it deserves attention.

RENEWAL OF THE WAR IN PARAGUAY.

The Paraguayan Dictator, Lopez, will probably not
occupy a very high place in history ; but he deserves at least
remembrance for his unconquerable perseverance. The
latest news from Paraguay seems to indicate that
the Allies, instead of finishing the war, have
half their work yet to do. Lopez appears to have
erected works of greatstrength throughout the Cordilleras
since the fall of Angostura. To carry these the Brazilian
army must separate from its fleet, to which it has hitherto
owed no small share of its success. The Paraguayan army
is now estimated at 10,000 men, with eighty pieces of
artillery. Some reports from the seat of war deserve
little attention, but it seems highly probable that a severe
campaign in the interior yet awaits the Allies.

THE ARCEBISIIOP OF CANTERBURY AT DULWICII.

the Archbishop of Canterbury was present at the
recent distribution of prizes at Dulwich College, and
addressed the successful candidates. He told them
that what they had done in school must be regarded
as a spur to what was expected from them in the
world. This was a critical age, and he rejoiced that
it was so, for whatever was good was sure to
stand the test of the severest criticism.
Dulwich College was about to enter on
a new career, and he was glad to find
that the new institution had not discarded the
old doctrine of inculcating refinement of taste and
polished manners by omitting the teaching of the
classical languages from the programme of the
school. His Grace added that as between the value
of the school, as a local or public institution, the
interests of the locality would be best subserved by
its promoting the general advantage.
London, England, 1869-06-28

by name Horace Stapleton. It is in ;the douUe
wooing of Isabel by the middle-aged clergy-
man on the one hand, and, on the other, by
the young, selfish, heartless Englishman, Horace
Stapleton that subsists, whatever charm or fascina-
tion there is in the narrative. Once or twice the
interest awakened in the reader's mind is intense,
but it is only so very exceptionally. It is thus
when Isabel is taken during her first honeymoon to
the opera-box. It is thus when upon the night of
the murder she is waiting Mr. Lothian's return from
his ride on horseback through the storm. It is thus
especially when, by her discovery of the breastpin
hid away in Horace Stapleton's desk, she first
wakens to the recognition of the fact that he, her
second husband, is her first husband's base and
dastardly murderer. As the mere fact of
her ever marrying the assassin of the man who
first won her hand, will sufficiently indicate,
the root, idea, or groundwork of the story is by no
means agreeable. We read it, at its most interest-
ing parts, with a feeling of repulsion. We turn
from a consideration of the principal characters,
especially from the hero and heroine, with a sense
of relief to examine by preference Mrs. Oliphant's
delineation of two or three of the minor characters
here introduced. Happiest among all these lesser
delineations are, first of all, the Dominie Galbraith ;
secondly, Jean, stepmother of Isabel and Margaret ;
thirdly, old Miss Catharine Diarmid, of Lochhead.
The landscape is lightly but cleverly sketched in, and
the ways and means, the habits and manners of the
primitive inhabitants are ably and sometimes humo-
rously enough described.
