RIFLED GUNS SUPERSEDED.

According to a statement printed in the Constitutionnel
of August 2, M. A. Muller, a nen-commissioned officer to
the French military service (God of the line) has devised
means of rendering ordinary smooth bore arms, whether
large or small, equal in precision to rifle guns, whilst necee"
sarily abolishing all the inconveniences attendant upon
rifling.
The result altogether depends upon the shape of the pro'
jectile, which is that of a helix. The ball weighs 36
grammes, and its length is two centimetres; the charge
being six grammes. The windage is six millimetres. The
height cf the conical part of the projectile is 11 millimetres
The directive peculiarity of the missile is situated posteriori'',
and conststs of six vanes or wings arranged helically around
a central point. The helices are so arranged that they
receive the blast of powder and cause the missile to revolve
whilst yet in the barrel. According is experiments per-
formed by M. Muller, at Nancy, with his new projectile dis-
charged from an ordinary smooth arm musket (model 1822),
it was established that the aim was susceptible of great
accuracy up to 800 metres. Subsequently, at Plombierse,
M. Muller had the honour of presenting to the Emperor a
circumstantial report of his helical ball, accompanied by a
specimen. He, moreover, proposed to the Emperor the
adoption of this form of missile for ordnance, also to manu-
facture leaden projectiles for musketry by pressure, thus
obviating the use of fire, and enabling the manufacture to
be carried on in the same establishment, portable if desired,
thus enabling it to accompany an army on campaign, all
to turn out cartridges when wanted.

The Countess of Craven and Lady Evelyn Craven

MARLBOROUGH - STREET. JUVENILE LEAD
STEALERS.—SHOCRING DEPRAVITY.—John Barton,
14; Charles Frisker, 14; John Harrison, 13; Charles
Reynolds, 17 ; Robert Rose, 'l7 ; and Charles Sopp, 11,
whose head scarcely reached the top of the dock, were
charged with stealing some lead from 2, Russell-place,
Fitzroy-square, a house undergoing repair.
From the evidence of Tofield, 76 E, it appeared that at 11
o'clock last night he saw all the prisoners.going along, Rose
carrying the lead on his shoulder. • He followed them, and
saw them go up to a marine-store dealer's. He then saw
them leaving the shop, and went up and asked Rose what
he bad zo,r, and be then threw down the lead and bolted.

lle took ifarton into custody, and he gave him information
which led to the capture of some of the cohers. On taking
Soil) into custody he eaid he never had any cf the money.
Outred, 132 G, said he took some of the prisoners at four
that morning in a t an, and, wif bout his saying a wolf!, nicker
said, "I di l not take it." On asking him where Ina jacket
was, he said a boy threw it into the pit of a theatre from the
gallery; but on his asking him if he had not lent it to cover
the lead, he admitted that was the case. To get at the lead
they must have clirnked over a hoarding.

Tofieldsaid they %vete always t.ssing.Ogether.
Mr. Bingitatn.--Yes; tossing in the daytitne and stealing
night.
'Meld said Flicker had been convicted at Marylebone.

In answer to Mr. Bingham, as to what they had to say,
Harrison said there was a broken rail, and they (Barton and
Harrison) got through, and Sopp (a remarkably sharp little
urchin) kept a 100k-out. The others replied they had nothing
to s!ty._ - - .

Binghaii said he should commit them for 21 days

It has also been necessary to provide additional tools and
machinery for the company's workshops to the amount of
£2 042 13s. 101, and to purchase rolling stock, consisting
of first and second class carriages, and of luggage and
other waggons, at the e st of £5,234 19e. 2d. and
£3,320 19s. 11d. re,sprctively. The gross receip:s fur

were £567,027 17s. 7d.; for the corresponding period
in 1857, £47,631 135.66.; increase in 1858, £9,396 4s. ld.;

Os. 9d. The balance available, after payment of working
expenses, is 12:259,834 6., 2d.; to which must be added—as
shown in the net revenue account—balance from tie last
half-year, £319 6s. ; Royston and Hitchin, rent due
from Eastern Counties Company, 0,400; balance of the
Redriath account,' £4,248 91. 84.; total net revenue,
£272,802 2s. 2d. For the half-year ended 30th June the
sum was £289,076 2s. 10d.; the net revenue account is
therefore less than in June, 1857, by £16,274 Os. B.f. Of the
above sum of £272,802 2s. 2d. the rent and fixed charges
absorb £107,498 17e. ld., the preference dividends re-
quire £83,983, the net balance being £81,320 ss. ld.
This amount will yield a dividend at the rate of £3 7s 6d.
per cent. per annum upon the original stock • and £3 7s.
Gd. towards £6 per cent. for the year to the stock;
of B
stock. Toe directors therefore recommend that these divi-
dends be declared. The general depression of the mercan-
tile and manufacturing interests has seriously affected the
traffic of all railways; and but for the new traffic ob-
tained to and from Manchester, the amount received upon
the Great Northern Railway would have been much less titan
in the first half of 1857; even the local traffic of the agricultu-
ral districts (not subject to competition) suffered; 36,500 fewer
local passengers having been carried, than in the corres-
ponding half-year of 1857. The expense of working the
Manchester traffic has of course been considerable; but the
directors believe that the money has been well spent in in-
troducing to the trading and manufacturing public the faci-
lities and advantages of the Great Northern route
between London and Lancashire. The Manchester and
Sheffield and Great Northern Traffic Bill was strenuously
opposed by the London and North-WesternCompany, in the
committee of the House of Commons, but after a contest of
21 days the committee unanimously passed the bill, having
declared that the agreement of 1854, made between the
London and North-Western and the Manchester and
Sheffield Companies, by which traffic between London and
Manchester by the Great Northern route was obstructed,
was altra vires, and at variance with public policy. In the
committee of the llouse of Lords the bill was again opposed

The passing of this bill must convince the proprietors of the
London and North-Western Railway that they can no
louger be allowed to monopolise the entire London and
Lancashire traffic. Parliament has thereby declared that
the Great Northern and Manchester 'and Sheffield Com-
panies were fully justified iu establishing a second through
route between London and the Eastern Counties and Lan-
cashire, as suggested by Lord Dalhousie in his report on
railways in 1845. The general traffic of the Great Northern
Company was for several months subject to most severe
competition ; and the directors feel called upon to state
that they made several ineffectual attempts to put:an end to
the very low rates which prevailed between London and
Lancashire. On the 7th April last they and the Man-
chester and Sheffield directors offered to adopt much higher
rates than were then current between London and Man-
chester and other places, and made a public announce-
ment to that effect; but they declined to restore them
to the former high scale charged by the London an I North-
Western. Their offer having been refused by the Landon
and North-Western, the fares and rates remained very low
until the 16th of June, when it was intimated to the
directors that it they would advertise the fares which they
had proposed on the 7th of April the Landon and North-
Western would follow them. This was immediately done,
and on the 21st of June the fares and rates proposed by the
Great Northern Company in April for Liverpool and Man-
chester were adopted by both routes, and remain so up to
this time. The proprietors will remember that under the
agreement with the Manchester and Sheffield Company that
company is entitled to receive out of the earnings arising from
through traffic such a sum as would, with their other receipts,
make up the gross sum of £lO,OOO per week, subject to being
repaid when their gross receipts exceed £ll,OOO per week.
The Great Northern have accordingly advanced £25,000 on
account to the Mariehester and Sheffield Company, in respect
of the earnings for the year 1858. The direct route from
London to Huddersfield being about 20 miles nearer by the
Great Northern route, via Sheffield and Penistone,
than by the London and North-Western route, and
the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company being under
agreement with the London and North-Western Com-
pany to afford the public no benefit from this shorter
communication, the directors deemed it prudent to
petition Parliament for the insertion of through bucking and
forwarding clauses to be inserted in the bill for the atualga-
tnation of the Lancashire and Yorkshire and East Lanca-
shire railways. The committee of the House of Commons
inserted these clauses, which would have afforded reasonable
facilities to the Great Northern traffic for Huddersfield and

will soon put au end to all combinations betwe encom-
panies limiting or restricting the free use of railway com-
munication ; and the directors therefore expect that the
Lancashire and Yorkshire Company will adopt the clear in-
tention of Parliament by acting upon the principle of the
clauses inserted in the bill. The Hertford and Welwyn
Railway was opened fur traffic in March last, and arrange-
ments have been made for a system of through booking with
thatcompany and with the Eastern Cotinties Company, to and
from Victoria Docks, Blackwall, and other places beyond
Hertford' The Hertford and Welvvyn, and Lnton, Dunstable
and Welwyn Railway Companies, promoted an act in this
session of Parliament for the purpose of uniting the two
undertakings, and they have been incorporated into one
company, under the title of The Hertford, Luton, and
Dunstable Railway.' rhe directors obtained the insertion
of a provision in the act binding the united companies to
offer facilities for the carriage of traffic between London and
any place to which the united railways form the shortest
or most direct route, and to admit the Great Northern
Company to use the amalgamated lines on equal terms
with the Eastern Counties Company. The Gladstone
awerd for the division of all receipts from traffic
between London and several towns in Yorkshire, &c., which
was renewed in 1856, for fourteen years, was cancelled in
July, 1858, by notice from the London and North-Western
Company; but the directors still hope that competition at
inadequate fares and rates may be avoided. The Midland
Railway Company are now running passenger trains daily
in and out of King's-cross Station, and the buildings for
`their goods business are nearly completed. The directors
regret that circumstances occurred in the course of last
winter which rendered it desirable to dispense with the
services of Mr. J. R. Mnwatt, as secretary. Mr. Henry
Oakley, formerly assistant-secretary, and lately the aocoun-
ant, has been appointed secretary.

Lion to the peerage under the title of " Baron Kingsdown,
of Kingsdown, in the county of Kent," was chronicled in
our columns yesterday, is the eldest surviving son of the
late Mr. Robert Pemberton, of the Inner Temple, barrister-
at-law, by Margaret, eldest daughter and co-heir of ►he late
Mr. Edward Leigh, of Bispham-hall, county of Lancaster,
and brother of Mr. Edward Leigh Pemberton, the eminent
equity draughtsman and conveyancer of Lincoln's-inn. His
grandfather, Mr. Edward Pemberton, was an M.D. in
practice at Warrington, and married Ellen, daughter of
Mr. John Lyon, of Appleton. Mr. Pemberton Leigh was
called to the bar in 1816, by the Honourable Society
of Lincoln's-inn, of which be is now a bencher, and
was appointed, in 1820, " one of his Majesty's counsel
learned in the law." In 1831 he enterd St. Stephen's as
member for Rye in the Conservative interest, but did not
continue to represent that constituency iu a second Parlia-
ment. At the general election of December, 1834, during
Sir Robert Peel's brief tenure of office for the first time, he
was elected member for Ripon, by a majority of 235 to 125
over the late member, Mr. T. K. Staveley ; and he was
recbosen without a contest as the colleague of Sir Edward
B. Sugden (now Lord St. Leonard's) in 1837, and again in
1841. In January, 1843, he succeeded to the estates of his
mother's cousin, the late Sir Robert Holt Leigh, Bart., of
Hindley-hall, Lancashire, and, in compliance with the
terms of that gentleman's will, assumed the surname
and arms of Leigh in addition to his own. Already,
namely in 1841, be had been appointed Attorney-
General to the Prince of Wales; and in May, 1843,

he was promoted to the post of Lord Chancellor and Keeper
of the Great Seal to his Royal Highness, being sworn at
the same time a member of her Majesty's Privy Council.
His lordship has been for many years one of the most active
members of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council;
and his elevation to the peerage will be hailed with the
cordial and hearty approval of the profession to which he
belonged. His lordship has elected to take his title from
the small parish of Kingsdown near Siitingbourne, in which
he owns, we believe, an estate called Torrey Hill. Lord
Kingsdown is unmarried.

The Right Honourable Thomas Pemberton Leigh has '
been gazetted Baron Kinesdown. It is well known that
when Lord Derby accepted office, be offered the seals to
this distinguished man, but the offer was declined. Few men
have had the courage to reject so splendid a prize, and no
doubt the public have been the. sufferers by his decision.
Fortunately, however, he has been prevailed upon to accept
a peerage, so that henceforth his great abilities and pre-
eminent legal knowledge will be allowed that influence to
which they are justly entitled. For some years past the
country has had the advantage of Lord Kinesdown's pre-
sence in the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.
Sitting in that tribunal, he sustained, and if possible in-
creased, the brilliant reputation which he had gained as a
lawyer in the Courts of Equity. Without that narrow
technicality which characterised his great rival, Lord St.
Leonards, he exhibited an amount of legal knowledge, a
power of grasping legal principles, and a clear vigour of
diction, which place bins in the ranks of the first English
judges who have ever adorned the bench. The casts brought
before the Privy Council require something more than a
knowledge of mere municipal law. Neither " Coke upon Lit-
tleton," nor the decisions of Lord Eldon, will serve the pur-
pose of a judge of that tribunal. The Judicial Committee is
the Court of Appeal front every quarter of the globe, and
rightly to determine the appeals that come before them
requires a knowledge of almost every system of law which
prevails throughout the civilised world. The Judge who
attempts to grapple with the questions ventilated there must
be more than a technical lawyer. He must be profoundly
versed in the principles which lie at the root of all laws; in
short, he must be a scientific jurist. The law of the Hat-
doos and the Mahometaus, the civil law of the Romans,inter-
national, ecclesiastical, and maritime law, must all be
understood and applied.
When an Indian. subject has been wronged, it is for the
Privy Council to grant him redress; if a clergyman en-
gages in a dispute with his bishop, it is for the Privy Coun-
cil to settle it ; if a war arises, and a ship is captured, it is
for the Privy Council to apply the principles which are
essential to the due determination of the case. Nor is this
all. Not only is it necessary for a Judge of that tribunal to
know each system of law by itself; it is also necessary that
he should be able to reconcile discordant principles, and to
solve those difficult problems which arise in what is called
a conflict of laws. The events of the last few years
have given ample scope for the jurisdiction of the
Privy Council. The disputes wising out of the Gorham
and Belgravian controversies; the prize questions arising
out of the Baltic blockade and the Russian war, have
required for their settlement the utmost impartiality, the
clearest judgment, and the most accurate knowledge of law.
In the discussion of these questions while in course of argu-
ment, and in the preparation of the written opinions in
which the advice of the Cauncil has been tendered to her
Majesty, Lord Kingsdown has taken the most prominent
part. It is, we have pod reason to know, the universal
opinion that no series of judgments ever gave more univer-
sal satisfaction. Indeed, unless it be in the decisions of Lord
Stowell, or in those of the Supreme Court. of the United
States, it would be difficult to find a more splendid monu-
ment of judicial ability than exists in the Privy Council
Reports during the time of Mr. Pemberton Leigh. It would
be well if the same thing could be said of the cotempora-
neous decisions of the House of Lords. If that anomalous
tribunal is to be maintained, it ought at all events to be
made as efficient as passible, and certainly no better means
could be devised for this purpose than by advancing Mr.
Pemberton Leigh to the peerage. He is still in the vigour
of his pavers. There is no abler lawyer now livirg. The
country has reason to congratulate itself that this eminent
man has consented to accept the honour which Lord Derby
has had the good sense to offer ithr.-7.Daily News.
