the English during the whole of that war was but
the result of their superior artillery: Not only did
they aim and fire better and .more accurately than
the French and other nations, but also more rapidly.
While the English in the year 1805 delivered one
discharge of shot per gun in each minute, the French
could only do the same in three minutes. Besides
this, the latter pursued a bad plan, inasmuch as
they sought to dismast their enemy and fired too
high, while the English .steadily aimed at the hull,
and their balls hit the large ship's hull more
certainly than the small 'surface of the masts and
rigging. Independently, however, of their better
aim, and of the quickness of their gunners, the
English had an advantage in heavier calibre ; for
although they nominally. had the same weight
of artillery as the French ships of the same class,
their ships were in reality much heavier, as, for
example, the English 40-gun frigate Lavinia carried
in reality 50 guns ; and frigates of 36 and 38
guns had almost always 44 and 46. The English
ship of the line Belleisle, which took part in the
battle of Trafalgar, was a 74, but carried 80 guns,
while the Spanish ship in that battle of nominally
M guns carried only 78.
These circumstances, and the good manning of
their guns, contributed mainly to the success of the
English, and explain how the French and their
allies lost in those wars 85 ships of the line and 180 -
frigates, while the English lost only 13 ships of the
line and-83 frigates.
All at once, but very lately, the French arrived at
the conviction that their defective artillery had
much to do with their ill success, but this was only
at the end of the war. The unfortunate Admiral.
Villeneuve complained not of the artillery but of
the little experience of his officers and men, and the,
incomplete and b'ad fittings of his ships, which led
to the disproportionate loss of the French. He was,
however, like all the rest, in error. The weakness
of the French fleet lay
.mainly in her artillery, and
indeed, not so much in the . guns themselves, as
more particularly in a system of manning them
which had prevailed for 200 years in Fiance, and
which affected the efficacy, and full power cf the
ship, inasmuch as it impeded on board her ships of
war the absolutely necessary unity of command.

FRANCE.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY.
The Moniteur contains decrees appointing M.
Troplong to be President, and Marshal Count
Baraguay d'Hilliers, General Count Regnault de
Saint-Jean-d'Angely, and Marshal Pelissier Duke
de Malakhoff to be Vice-Presidents of the Senate
for the year 1859.

General Macmahon leaves Paris to-night to re-
sume the command of the army in Algeria in con-
sequence of the agitation which prevails among
the Kabyle tribes. It was rumoured last night
that troubles had actually broken out among the
Kabyles, though the papers do not allude to the
fact.

It is said that Marshal Castellane is about to re-
tire from the service in consequence of his advanced
age. In that case he will probably be succeeded by
Marshal Canrobert ; and Marshal Bandon will be
appointed to the command held at present by Mar-.
shal Canrobert, whose head-quarters are at Nancy.
A letter from Teheran states that the Shah of
Persia has appointed M. Houry, the French Orien-
talist whom Feruk Khan brought from Paris with
him, professor of the French language to his son,
the hereditary Prince. M. Houry is, at the same
time, charged by the Shah to translate the works
of the Emperor Napoleon 111. into Persian

THAMES.

FALLEN WOMEN ATTEMPTED SUICIDES. - Emma
Miniam, alias Meglan, a woman of very excitable tempera-
ment, about 30 years of age, was brought up on remand,
before Mr. Selfe, charged with attempting to commit sui-
cide by cutting her throat with a knife. The prisoner made
the attempt upon her life in the dwelling of a woman named
Hare, of 12, Phillip-street, St. George-in-the-East ; and
after the wound (a slight one) 'was dressed by a surgeon,
she attempted to tear it open again, but was prevented by
the police, who had much trouble with her ; she would
have hung herself in the station-house cell if her hands
and arms had not been fastened.

In defence the prisoner said that she had lived with a
man, a greengrocer carrying on business in Mary-street,
Poplar, for several years, and had been recently married to
him. The attempt she had made upon her life arose from
drunkenness. All her sorrows were the result of drinking
ardent spirits, and if she was liberated she would become
intoxicated again.

Police-constable Bidgood, 168 K, stated that the pri-
soner made a similar attempt on her life some time ago, and
was then forgiven after a short remand on her promise not
to do such a rash act again.

Mr Selfe was afraid the prisoner was a very wicked
woman, and she must be remanded for a week, and if, at
the termination of that period, he received a good report of
her, he might be induced to set her at liberty on her hus-
band giving him an assurance that he would look after his
wife closely.

She was now brought :up from the Clerkenwell House of
Detention a sadder and a wiser woman.

Mr. Selfe said he had been informed that the prisoner
behaved well in prison, and he (Mr. Selfe) hoped she had
listened to the exhortations of the worthy chaplain.
The prisoner--I will never do anything so foolish again.
A respectable, well conducted man, who said he was the
husband of the prisoner, here stepped forward and said
the accursed drink was the cause of all the mischief.

Mr. Selfe—Keep her from strong drinks, and keep her at
home. She has behaved well in prison, and therefore I
*ill discharge her. take her home directly.
ANOTHER FALLEN WOMAN.—Mary Bryan, of the class
called unfortunate, and aged twenty-eight, dwelling in
that notorious place, Angel-gardens, Shadwell, where
none but fallen angels dwelt, was brought before Mr. Selfe
charged with attempting to commit suicide by throwing
herself from the bridge, in New Gravel-lane, Shadwell, into
the lock entrance of the London Dock. The prisoner was
very drunk last night when she made the attempt to ter-
minate her wretched- existence. Many unfortunate females
have committed suicide at the same place.
Mr. Selfe said he would give the prisoner time for re-
pentance by remanding her to prison until Wednesday
next.

RUSSIA.

It appears from a return just published by the
Russian Government that at the beginning of the
present year the debt of Russia was 518,334,007
roubles, equal to 2,073,336,000 f. This sum, remarks
the return, cannot be considered excessive, the
debt of England being 19,383,000,000 f. ; that of
France, 7,558,000,000 f.; that of Austria, 6,617,000 f.;
and that of Prussia, 939,000,000 f. Thus Russia is
the least indebted of all the great States except
one, and she is the least of any compared to her
population. In England, for example, the debt is
equal to 718 f. for each inhabitant; in France, 210 f.;
in Austria, 167 f.; in Prussia, 55f.; and in Russia
only 35f. The sums employed annually by each
State in payment of interest and in sinking funds
is 713,750,000 f. in England ; 511,235,000 f. in
France ; 343,200,000 f. in. Austria ; 150,000,000
francs in Rusgia ; and 47,000,000 f. in Prussia.
Russia here again is the last but one, and accord-
ing to population the lowest, in England each
inhabitant paying 27f. ; in France, ,14f. ; in Aus-
tria, 9f. ; in Prussia, 2f. 80c. ; and in Russia, only
2f. 50c. Finally, whilst in England the public
debt absorbs 43 per cent. of the whole budget, it
only takes 30 per cent. in Austria and France, in
Russia only 12, and in Prussia 11.

THE EAST.
A letter from Alexandria of the 6th, in the
Union, says :—" The telegraph has probably in-
formed you of the arrest of Abdallah Pacha, ex-
Minister of Finance, and three Beys and eleven
Arabs, guilty, it is said, of having conspired against
the Viceroy, and of having disseminated a predic-
tion that the death of Said Pacha would take place
shortly. All of them have been tried and condemned
to the galleys ; but here, as in Turkey, a sentence
of that kind does not carry with it any stain on the
character, and many functionaries, now in office,
have been subjected to a similar one. The conspi-
rators at Cairo had, it appears, accomplices in this
city ; for, on the arrival of the mail which brought
the news of their condemnation, several rich cheiks
were arrested. One of them, the famous Suley-
man, will be seriously compromised by the papers
seized at the house of Abdallah Pacha. The ani-
mosity which exists in the minds of the Mussul-
mans against the Viceroy is caused by the energetic
measures which he adopted to protect the
Christians against the fanatics whom the affair
at Jeddah had excited. After the excesses com-
mitted by the Turks at Gaza, the bishop and prin-
cipal Christians, who were principally designed
for the poignard of the assassins, took refuge at
Jaffa. The Governor of Palestine, having received.
orders to act with promptitude in putting down
any sanguinary outrages, went with 200 horse-

INDIAN DESPATCHES.

The Gazette of last night contains a great num-
ber of papers and despatches (in all 71relating to
the recent operations of our troops in India, which
have just been received by the Secretary of State.
Nos. 1 and 2 narrate the operations which resulted
in the capture of Charbagh by a Goorkha force
under Major Walsh, who speaks in the highest
terms of the enduring fortitude displayed by his
men under a heavy fire. Nos. 3,4, and 5 referto
the operations of the Shahjehanpore Field Force
under Brigadier Jones, and in No. 6 Lieut.-Col.
Taylor, in command of a division of it, relates the
capture and destruction of Shadabad, which was
effected without the loss of a single man, the enemy
having taken themselves off with their usual
rapidity, as soon as Lieut.-Col. Toomb's guns got
within range. No. 9is a long despatch from Sir
Hugh Rose, describing the defeat of the rebel force
which attempted to bar his way to Calpee at
Koonch. Though the position was a strong one,
and defended by strong. batteries, the engagement,
as usual, was short and decisive ; but the retreat of
the rebels seems to have been conducted with more
than ordinary skill and. courage. Sir Hugh Rose
says :
" If, on the one hand, the enemy had retired from
Koonch with too great precipitation, on the other,
it is fair to say that they commenced their retreat
across the plaan with resolution and intelligence.
The line of skirmishers fought well to protect the
retreat of the main body, observing the rules of
light infantry drill. When charged, they threw
aside their muskets and fought desperately with
their swords."

The moral effect of this victory appears to have
been very great, and had wellnigh terminated the
campaign. Sir Rose thus writes :
" The defeat at Koonch gave rise to animosities
and mistrust in the rebel army. The infantry
sepoys accused their brother mutineers of the
cavalry with having pusillanimously abandoned
them ; and all •three arms brougl't the same charge
against their general, Tantia Topee, who had dis-
appeared at Koonch as rapidly as he had done at
Betwa, leaving to its fate at the I.'qost critical
moment the force which he had called into existence

various causes created confusion in the councils of

TIIE ATLANTIC CABLE.—A sale of goods and
chattels of a rather novel deß3ription took place on-Wednes-
day, at the Custom-house, in Cork. The receiver of droits
of Admiralty put up to auction about 800fathorns of the At-
lantic telegraph cable, which was found about two months
ago. There were two lots, each containing about 400
fathoms, which, after a tolerable share of competition, were
purchased by the receiver himself at 10d. per fathom. The
balance of the proceeds, after deducting the receiver's dues,
will doubtless scarcely satisfy the demands of the salvors.
DOG AND BARBER SWIMMING MATCH.—A rather
novel swimming match took place on Saturday, at Fisher-
row, between a barber and Mr. Downie's dog Maggie, for
£5 a side. The distance was three-quarters of a mile. The
barber took the lead, but was soon overtaken by his canine
opponent, which, after a good struggle, went in 'winner by
about ten yards.,

SPAIN.

The Madrid Gazette of the 13th contains a
telegram, dated Corunna, 12th, twenty minutes
past three o'clock p.m., stating that their Majesties
and the royal family were at that very moment
leaving Corunna amidst the loyal demonstrations
of the inhabitants. The Queen was to return
direct to Madrid. The Gazette also contains a com-
munication from the Minister of Justice to the
Minister of Finance, informing the latter that forty-
nine titles of marquis and twenty-eight of count
have been annulled. The Minister of Finance has
to take cognisance of the fact, because the sum
paid down when the heir of a title takes possession
is very considerable, and the annual tax paid by
the host of titled persons forms an important item
in the Spanish revenue. The President of the
Council (O'Donnell) was expected in Madrid a
few days before her Majesty. Some capitalists,
it was said, intend to establish a large paper
manufactory in Catalonia. Accounts from
Melilla to the 6th state that the Moors had recom-
menced their • attacks on the town. A Madrid
letter says :—" Tightness prevails in the money
market ; in fact, merchants state that a greater
scarcity of the precious metals has not been expe-
rienced for years. This scarcity affects the rate of
exchange in the provinces to a most inconvenient
degree. It is difficult to negotiate bills upon San-
tander at less than 12 per cent. The bank of Valla-
dolid discounts at 8 per cent. In Faience 4 per
cent. per month is demanded. Unless the price of
corn lowers in such a manner that merchants be
induced to sell, there are fears that some bank-
ruptcies will take place in the agricultural dis-
tricts."

Baron de Humboldt has just celebrated at Berlin
the 80th anniversary of his birthday, in the enjoy-
ment of full health both of body and intellect. He
has just finished his celebrated work, the " Cosmos."
Congratulations have poured in on him from all
classes of society. Among the persons who visited
him were the Princess Frederic William and her
brother Prince Alfred, who came from Potsdam for
that purpose. After calling on M. de Humboldt,
the Princess and the young Prince visited the
chateau, the Palace of the Princes, the Museum
and Exhibition of the Fine Arts.

A letter from Frankfort of the 14th says :
" About noon yesterday two trains on the railway,
from Taunus to Hochst, one coming from Mentz
and the other from Frankfort, came against each
other with considerable violence. Several of the
passengers were injured, some of them severely
but none were killed.

A letter from Turin of the 15th states that Gen.
de Lamarmora, Minister of War, after passing a
grand review of the garrison, left that place to visit
Nice, Spezia, and the district of Liguria.

It is stated in a letter from Milan that a journal
destined to defend Austrian interests is about to
be established, under the title of La Gazetta
ltaliana, in that city.

THE NAVY.

An Admiralty- order has arrived at Sheerness to
send the Waterloo flagship round to Portsmouth
for the purpose of being converted into a screw
line-of-battle ship of two decks.
The Admiralty have for the present stopped the
entry of sea apprentices. Large numbers of boys
are daily applying on board the Waterloo for entry.
In many instances a number of fine stout lads arc
thrown on the parish for want of means to return
to their homes.
The Formidable, 84 guns, Captain-Superintendent
J. C. Fitzgerald, guardship of ordinary at Sheer-
ness is now fully equipped, and if needed for ime
-
mediate active service, would only require to b
manned and to h&s;e her ammunition and victual-
ling. stores stowed away. The Formidable is ad-
mitted to be the smartest-rigged line-of-battle ship
in the -port.
On Thursday evening last Edward Coultrip 'And
John llodge, established labourers, of 14,A. per
week, the former having four years, and tie latter
12 -s-rears' servitude, were stopped at the yard gat?,
by policeman Devcraux, and on being searched each
man.had two long thin canvas bags full of copper
and metal. The bags are most ingeniously made,
so to fit inside the leg parts of their kneeboots.
Counrip's house was afterwards searched, and there
was found a quantity of canvas, fearnought flannel,
roper roping twine, and metal, all being the pro-
perty of her Majesty. Nothing was found in
llodgo's house. The two men were yesterday
brought before Mr. J. K. Martyn, Master-Attendant
(Acting ;:uperintendent) and after some preliminary
examination were remanded until Monday next.
Mr. M..gxon, who has obtained the contract for
reconstruct:ng the leeward batteries at Sheerness,
has arrived,: .and the works are to be taken in hand
forthwith.

MURDER IN FRANCE.

The COurt of Assizes of the Tarn, three days
ago, tried a carrier, named Saisset, of St. Amans
Soult, for the murder of his wife. On the 10th
June this woman, who was his second wife, and.
who during the lifetime of the first one had been
his servant, was found lying dead in his cellar v.ith
her skull beaten in and her throat cut. A mallet
stained with blood lying near indicated that it was
with that she had been struck, but no knife or
other sharp instrument was seen. Herhusband was
at once suspected, because he had for some time
been in the habit of brutally ill-treating the woman
and had promised a young woman of the village
that in case his wife died he would marry her. He
was absent at the time the body was found, and
when he returned, after hearing of his wife's death
and descending into the cellar, he calmly remarked
that the murder must have been committed for the
sake of stealing a sum of 350 f., which he had depo-
sited in an old closet in the cellar. But there were
no marks on the door indicating that it had been
broken open. It was then ascertained that he was
in the house- at the time the murder mthit have
been committed; and it was found that the clothes
which he generally, wore, and a large knife which he
had constantly used, had disappeared, nor could be
say what had become of them. He was arrested,
and afterwards a half-witted young man, named
Calas, came forward and stated that on the night
of the murder, he happened to be.sleeping in the
barn of Saisset, when he heard the woman utter
dreadful cries in the cellar, followed by the sound
of blows—and that shortly before SaisEct had en-
tered the house, and left immediately after. The
jury found the prisoner guilty, but with extenuat-
ing circumstances, and the court sentenced him to
hard labour for life. On hearing the verdict he
was greatly agitated, but when the sentence was
pronounced he said with a smile, " I did not expect
to get off so easily:"
