GUTTA PE RCHA TUBING for WATERING

The GUTTA PERCHA COMPANY have the pleasure to acknow-
ledge the receipt of the following testimonial from Sir. J. Farrah,
Gardener to Roswell Middleton Jalland, Esq., of lloldernsss-house,
near llnll.

" I have had 400 feet of your Gotta Percha Tubing, in lengths of
100 feet each, with union joint, in use for the last twelve months for
watering these gardens, and I find it to answer better than any-
thing I have ever yet tried.

" Mho pressure of the water is very considerable, but this has not
the slightest effect on the tubing.
" consider tni3 tubing to be a most valuable Invention for gar-
deners, inasmuch as it enables us to water our gardens in about one-
ha'f the 'line, and with one half the labour formerly required.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

On Saturday an inspection -of the troops belong-
ing to the East India depots, comprising the Ist
and 2d battalions of infantry, at Chatham, took
place at that garrison, by Col. IL Jervis, com-
manding the Ist battalion, and Col. R. N. Phillips,
in command of the 2d battalion. The troops, to
the number of about 2,500 men of all ranks, were
drawn up on their general parade-ground in heavy
marching order, when the depots of the 2d batta-
lion were marched to the inner lines, where they
marched past m slow and quick time, and ere-
cut 'd a few other manoeuvres, the whole of which,
notwithstanding that the majority of the troops
on the groundwere young soldiers, were performed
with great steadiness and precision. The
depots attached to the Ist battalion went through
simi!ar evolutipns on their -parade-ground under
the direction of their, commandant, Col. Jervis.
These inspections will be repeated at frequent in-
tervals, in order to make the troops thoroughly
efficient before embarking for India in July, by
which period it is calculated there will be nearly
5,000 troops at Chatham garrison ready for embar-
cation.

The officers belonging to various regiments who
have been sent to Chathani for the purpose of being
attached to the East India depots at that garrison
have received directions to attend, when not en-
gaged on other duty, the pa)Paelerfaif,the Royal En-
gineers at Brompton Barrgeks, at 9 and 1 o'clock
each day, for the purpose of being instrucied,
with the 6fficers and men of the Royal Sappers
and Miners, in the fi Ilworks and other engi-
neering operations carried out by the troops
belonging to that branch •of the service, under
the direction of Col. H. Sandham, Director of the
Royal Engineer Establishment at Chatham.
The in,•nster wrought-iron gun manufactured at
the Mt-rsey Steel and Iron works, and presented
by Messrs. Horsfall and Co. to the nation, after
remaining out of sight and almost out of mind at
Shoeburyness since its removal there, is, we are
informed, about to be placed in a suitable position
in the fortifications at Portsmouth.
Lord Lovaine, one of the members of the Ad-
miralty, visited Woolwich Dockyard on Saturday
and inspect,d the vessels in basin and those now
building, accompanied by the commodore super-
intendent of the establishment. His lordship also
visited the Royal marine barracks and tie site se-
lected for the new hosoi'al.

By or er of the Lords Commissioners of the
Board of Admiralty the following officers have been
appointed to take into their immediate considera-
tion the best method of clothing the seamen of the
British service, and to report on the same :—Capt.
Sydney C. Dacres, C. 8., superintendent of Haslar
Hospital ; Capt. G. H. Seymour, C. 8., aide-de-
camp to the Queen, flag captain of the Victory,
101; Capt. Lord F. Kerr, of the Marlblirough,
131, screw; and Capt. R. Harris, of the naval cadet
training ship Illustrious. The meetingS will take
place forthwith in a room appropriated at the Royal
Clarence Victualling department,
From an Admiralty return just i.--sued, it appears
that the number of continuous service men who
accepted their discharge from the navy, under the
Admiralty circular older of the 13th of May, 1857,
permitting them to be discharge withiart purchase,
was 2,28 G. The numl-mr of the same who re-entered
the navy for five years, as non-continuous service
men, during the operation of the said circular
order, was 63.
Tbe Lards of the Admiralty issued orders on Sa-
turday for the whole of the ships now under fitment
at the several dockyards to be got ready for sea with
all expedition ; the whole of the steam squadron of
reserve, including the Majestic, 80 ; Colossus, 80 ;
Hero, 91.; Terrib'e, 21 ; and Ena?rald, 51, at
Sheerness ; and the Cle-ssy, 91, and Boyal George,
109, and sundry gun-boats are ordered to be got
ready with all expedition. Orders were also issued
fn- able and ordinary seamen to be entered at the
several rendezvous and guard-chips, and naval pen-
sioner:7, who will pass surgical examination, are to
be taken on fir further service. At the various
dockyards great activity prevails in getting the screw
ships of the line and other vessels ready for this
great naval demonstration. The whole of the ves-
sels are <:.xpected to concentrate in the Downs about
the same time that_ thei..great,i4'bwokpAy4 araw
moist will rendezvous a-*lierbpurt.----
Tht) Agamemnon, 91, :screw, -was taken oat of

THE LATE DtrEL AT PARIS.

The editor of the Figaro has sent the following
letter to the editor of 'he Nord :
"My dear Sir,---The Nord of the 19th of May in
its account of the duel of my friend and collaliora-
tor, M. Henri de Pane, says that my interview
with his Excellency the Minister of Justice has been
variously appreciated.
"As the most upright intentions are open to
false interpretations, I shall feel much obliged to
you if you will insert these few lines to explain the
object I had in view in the step I took under the
melancholy circumstances.
"1 did not ask for an interview to lodge a com-
plaint on account of the d.ploraVe incidents which
aro connected with the second duel of M. de Pene,
because magistrates in France are aware of the
duties they have to fulfil without need of admoni-
tion.

" I never for a m unent doubted that full justice
would be renderet My visit to the Keeper of the
Seals was made with another object in view.
"On arriving at Paris from Blois, after this la-
mentable affair, I found much excitement. I found
various letters addressed to me by men who emu-
lated each other in offers to avenge our lost com-
rade. Many other persons sent their cards to the
office of the Figaro with the same intentions ; all ex-
pressed thesatne d'sgust at thesocond duel, knowing
well that a blow was not necessary to compel M. de
Pane to fight a second duel. On the other hand, it
has been stated that after a warm discussion on the
topic which still excites Paris another duel was to
take place between M. de Pommereux and M. de
Gallifet.
"Feeling the gravity of the circumstance„ I felt
it my duty to call upon the Minister of Justice to
assure him that I should do
everything in my
power to prevent further bloodshed.
‘c The excitement in the public mind was such
that a prompt explanation
Was necessary. lat once
published an extra sheet in
explanation, the mode-
ration of which I hope all honourable men will
approve.
"I have endeavoured especially to show that the
army is not responsible for the acts of one of its
members.
" In support of this i lea I have published a letter
from two officers in the Guides, MM. Grangier and
Commin,2es, and I adverted to the courteous con-
duct cf M. Courtiel, the first opponent of M. de
Pone.
" One word more. The. Nord says that my friend
M. de Ilene was the victim of the duties which a
c?rtain portion of the press imposes upon its con-
tributors.

French journalists never needed to be reminded
of courage. Duels are not confined to the lesser
journals. I may mention those of Armand Carrel,
of Dujarrier, and Amedee Achard. I only men-
tion three—l could mention 30.—1 am, &c.,
" H. DE VII,LEBIESSANT."
In reply.t) the above letter the Editor of the
Nord s ►ys :—" We have only a- word to, faY in
reply, which is, M. de Villemessant has misuncler-

stood•our meaning: When we said M. de Pens
was the victim of the duties which a certain por-
tion of the preis imposes upon its contributors, we
meant to say that he was the victitnn-of the obliga-
tion of the necessity of the coutr butors to such a
paper to make a joke at the expebse of others at
the risk of a disagreeable result. Between the
meaning of our words and that of M. de Videmes-
sant there is the same difference as between the
causes and the character of the duel of M. de Pere
and the causes and character of the duels alluded
to by the editor of the Figaro."

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, SATURDAY.
THE LThLERICIL ELECTION.

Travellers from Cockneydown have written arid
declared before now that Ireland was a strange, a
passing strange, country, to which'we might fairly
add, and the strangest and most unintelligible part
of it is Limerick. It is positively more so than Gal-
way, which no living man understands. That which
holds good in every place else does not, as a matter
of course, apply to the " city of the violated treaty."
This week the free and independent burgesses sell
their votes to Major Gavin as the highest bidder ;

next week they will repudiate the "filthy lucre,"
and liy theiffitinchises; at the feet of Bishop Ryan
and his priests ; and the following week, the de-
nounced Protestant candidate, who dared not show
in the streets when Gavin was "up," whose sup-
porters were beaten and bruised, whose hous,s
were wrecked and property destroyed, will sud-
denly become the favourite of all classes and creeds,
showing such an appearance of strength that the pet
of a little fortnight previously must retire without
striking another blow or polling. a in in
.against
him. If any one had prognosticated all this at the '
commencement of the present month he would
have been laughed at. Yet so it has turned out.
Mr. Spaight, a Protestant and Conservative, now
occupies the seat lately held by Major Gavin. Mr.
Bill did not show at the hustings. Yesterday morn-
ing his address of resignation was posted through
Limerick. His reasons for abandoning the contest
before it commenced are curious. He says—
" Gentlemen' —lt is now certain that on tomor-
row evening (Priday) the Government will an-
nounce the immediate dissolution of Parliament."

A false prophet Mr. Ball has proved himself in
this resp€ct. Let us see what more he has to say:—
" Owing to a division in the Liberal ranks, a
gentleman of Conservative opinion has come for-
ward as a candidate. I believe that he would not
truly rep,- sent your principles, ant I think it un
just that the C.,tholic majority of the electors should
not have in Parliament one member able and willing
to express their feeling and defend their rights."
Yet the " Catholic rirjority " were ready to
support this "gentleman of Conserva ive opinions"
in preference to the pro-saintly personage who mo-
destly tells them he is able as well as willing to do
so-an,!-si. Mr. Ball goes on to say—
" I would oppose to the uttermost this attempt,
if likely to be successful for more thug a few weeks,
but I am convinced that iu so doinc, I should have
your support ; the impending dboautiou has, how-
ever, altered the state of affairs."
Spaiglit thus thanks the electors of Li-
merick :

" For the overwhelming support I have received
in the contest, now happily terminated, allow me
to offer you my warmest thanks. Tuat this sup-
port emanated from men of all creeds, and of all
classes, I can never forget ; and it shall ever be my
earnest and anxious study to protect the various
interests entrusted to my charge, and by my con-
duct as your represenrarive to merit the con,inu-
ance of the great confidence you have placed iu rue."
Touching the election itself Mr. Spaight was ac-
companied to the Court-house of Limerick by two
Roman Catholic clergymen (Messrs. O'Connor and
Casey), Major Gavin, and upwards of 200 sup-
porters. Aft,2r the usual foraialitie-,, M3jor Gavin,
ex-.M. P., proposed Mr. Spaight as a proper candi-
date, Father Casey seconded the nomination.
The redoubted Father Kenyon, of Young Ireland
eelebrity, was next roposed and secolith,d, to give
rTatititia— ortrtlfitifto.o6ttrii dAltd*
his usual force z'His reverea.a.titteVeaNiiaili,
Ball as a time-serving trader in politics, who
thought to obtain the votes of the electors by ap-
pealing to their religious feelings. He (Fa'her
Kenyon) conceived that the spiritual interests of
the people night be p'wed in better hands than.
thos.i who had professed a desire to get hold of
them. His reverence then withdrew in favour of
Mr. Spaight, who was declared duly erected.
The following passage is from a doll ul article
in the Limerick elm rtc i• :—" Thus 11.,s terminated
the drama of which for the last four men, hs Lime-
. rick has been the arena, and in which men have
been pitted in fratricidal strife, in which frend has
' been separated from friend, brother from brother,
priest from priest, and which resulted, as we always
foretold with just accuracy, in the existing position
of the Catholic body and the utter prostration of
the great united Liberal party in the ancient city of
the treaty."
