THE BRITISH MUSEUM,
Mr. GREGORY moved for a select committee to inquire
into the organisation of the British Museum. Ho con-
tended that there was a want of proper classification and
other defects in the arrangements of the institution, with
reference to the archwological, natural history, and other
collections.

Lord ELCHO admitted that defects existed in the
arrangements, butdid not see the necessity f r a select Comte
mittee to inquire into the subject, as there was already
sufficient evidence to enable the house to come to a correct
conclusion on the question. _

1111?. WHIT WORTH'S GUN.

TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,—Would you allow me an opportunity of
correcting the impression which I find has got abroad,
that cannon made by me have failed in practice?
As this impression may, perhaps be strengthened
by the report of the observations made in the
House of Commons last week, I feel myself called
upon to state the facts that have given rise to
reports which arc really without foundation. My
experitnents have fo-: some time past. been mainly
directed to the subject of rifled small arms; but,
as the system which I have adopted is equally
applicable to ordnance of all sizes, I bored and
rifled several pieces of cannon, which were supplied
to me in the solid by the Government. Some of
these were brass guns, which have stood the test of
continued firing, and three were of cast iron, which
have burst. For the strength of these guns I was
in no degree responsible; they were the ordinary
pieces made for the smooth-bored cannon used in
the service, and proved too weak to bear the strain
of firing long rifled projectiles.
I should most certainly not have undertaken to
rifle them if I had foreseen, or could have supposed
that their failure, which was caused by want of
strength, would have been imputed to my system
of rifling.
Being desirous of immediately rendering all the
aid I could to the service, I considered the experi-
ment of rifling the pieces, as they are ordinarily
supplied, worthy of being trie.a, and I think I may
venture to state that their 'trial has furnished re-
sults of no inconsiderable i..nportance.
All the guns rifled by 'me belonged to and were
at the time at the disposal of the War Depart-
ment. I had not th means of firing cannon at
long ranges, but I hoped to have been furnished
with the results of experiments that would have
enabled me to form correct conclusions, I hope,
soon, however, to be enabled to make trial of two
guns which, tin my own responsibility, I am
constructing of the requisite strength, and which,
I doubt not, will fully realise the expectations en-
tertained by those who witncsded the first experi-
ments iv. April, 1856, with the 24-pounder brass
howitzer which I bored and rifled. At that time pro-
jectilrcs,varying from two to six diameters in length,
hay :ing quick rotary motion, were fired with great
success.—l am, sir, yours most obediently,
JOSEPH WHITWORTH.'

THE NAVY.

Her Majesty's steam transport Rhadamanthus,
Master-Commander Sturdee, laden with steam gear
for Portsmouth, having failed in the attempt to
leave the basin at Woolwich on Friday last, in
consequence of the low tides, yesterday proceeded
on her voyage.
The store transport Dee, Master-Commander
Pullen, was yesterday undocked at Woolwich, and
admitted into the fitting basin to complete repairs.
From the paucity of accommodation now available
in the shape of store vessels for the transport of
machinery, the wharfs at Woolwich are encumbered
with steam gear awaiting the means of transport,
to the amount of about 3,000 tons, and which is
daily increasing.
Orders have been issued by direction of his Royal
Highness the Commander-in-Chief to the military
authorities at Portsmouth, directing a board of offi-
cers to assemble and report upon the present mode
of supplying the troops in that garrison with their
groceries, vegetables, &c.
The Urgent, screw steam troop ship, went into
Portsmouth harbour yesterday from Spithead, and
landed her military and naval invalids at the north
jetty, - - _ _ _

- Ii is reported that Captain H. Eyres, C. 8., of the
St. Vincent, 102, ordinary guardship at Portsmouth,
will, on the completion of his flag time on the 21st
inst., pay off that ship, which will be recommis-
sioned as a training ship. The command of the
" ordinary" will, it is also said, devolve upon a
commander.

The following officers have taken up their com-
missions and appointments, and joined the Hero at
Sheerness—viz., Lieutenants John T. Swann and
Henry Davies ; Mr. Charles Newton Streatfeild,
mate ; and Mr. Julian W. Bradshaw, surgeon.
The steam vessel Locust, Lieutenant-Commander
John B. Field, left Sheerness yesterday for the
Channel Islands, to remain for further orders on
communication with Commander Edward G. Hore,
of the steam vessel Dasher, the senior officer there.
Commander F. H. Stirling has been appointed to
the Hero; and Mr. George L. Carr, Master, addi-
tional, to the Exmouth.

AN INDIAN FAlL—Vast crowds of people of all
classes and creeds gathered on Monday evening to witness
a fair, held at the country-hous., and temple, at Gc..walla, of
Juggenauth Sunkersett, Esq. On the road were innumer-
able shops, glittering with the costliest and rarest toys, and
all surmounted by a white canopy. Over one of them was a
transparency, with the inscription, "Go save the Queen."
European ladies and European and nativ gentlemen,
to whom invitations had been sent for the occasion, were ac-
commodated on a gallery. 'One of the inner entrances tot] 4)
spacious gardens was decorated with a huge transparency,
with. the royal arms and the inscriptions, ~ Victoria Welcome

rockets whizzing. and. paper balloons rising to the clouds
from different directions; while the strains of music en-
' livened one's spirits, and moonlight enhanced the charms of
the spectacle—each and all made for the beholder a fairy

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A FEMALE.—Mary Ann Taylor,
an unfortunate, was charged with a violent assault on
Emily Gardner, under the following circumstances :
From the evidence of the prosecutrix, the upper part of
whose face was enveloped in a surgical bandage, it appeared
that she was in a coffee-shop in Great Windmill-street that
morning, about four o'clock, having a chop with a gentle•
man, when a little chaffing ensuing. The prisoner, 'who was
sitting in the next box, jumped up and seized a glass which
was on one of the tables, and in the most deliberate manner
and with great violence threw it at her, striking her in the
eye, and inflicting a very serious wound. She bled very
much at the time, was taken to the hospital, where the
wound was sewed up, and she had at present lost the sight
of her eye.
The prisoner said the prosecutrix had called her " a
Irish —."
A witness was Galled and corroborated the prosecutrix,
and said that there was a little joking, and that the prose-
cutrix merely said the prisoner was Irish.
Mr. Beadon said that even if the prosecutrix had called
the prisoner the name she asserted, she was not justified in
committing such an assault on her. She must pay £5 or
be committed for two months.
ATTEMPTING TO "Do" A CABMAN.---Edward Biirke, a
tall, rough-looking fellow, was charged with assaulting
Wm. Bullfin, a cab-driver, badge 10,273, under the follow-
tng artful circumstances :
Bullfin raid that that morning he was going along the
Strand when the prisoner ran after him, got on his box,
said it was " all right," and that he had a job for him. He
then pulled out a pin, said it was gold, and that he should
have it for Bs. 6d. He then seized hold of his whip and
reins and wanted to drive. Witness told him he did not
want a gold pin. He then said he had robbed a gentleman
of it, and pressed him to buy it for Bs. 6d. He (witness)
then thought that the best thing he could do was to drive
on till he came up to a constable, and then give him into
custody. Witness then took the pin from him, and the

ROBBING A POLICE Si ERGEANT OF HIS GOAT
Thomas Sullivan, 32, of :18, Bath-street, Old-street-
road, Shoreditch, was charged with stealing an
uniform overcoat, belonging to Police-sergeant
Dodsworth, 43 P, and .also with assaulting that
officer.
The prisoner, it appea red, called at the house of
Sergeant Dod4orth, u Love-lane, Rotherhithe,
for the purpose of seelilg his father-in-law, who
lodged there. At that time the coat had been left,
after cleaning, hanging at the garden door, and
was subsequently traced to the possession of the
prisoner, at the Rose and Rummer beershop,
Paradise-street, Rotherh ithe, when he was taken
into custody, and on the way to the station be
struck the officer and behaved in a very violent
manner.

The prisoner's defence was, that he had no inten-
tion of stealing the coat., being under the influence
of liquor at the time.
Mr. Seeker fined the prisoner 40s. for the unlor-
ful possession, or one nionth's imprisonment. •

appointed a Lord of the Treasufy. During the
late war he commanded her Majesty's ship Tribune,

added Ante-Hall, will present an attraction which, whether
as regards the architectural beauty of the structures them-
selves, or the varied and hitherto unattempted combinations
within, will be found to be wholly without parallel in the

MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER,

A gentleman residing at Darlington, who had married his
deceased's wife sister, has recently been openly expelled
from the communion in the face of the whole congregation,
by the officiating minister of the parish, with the sanction,
we sincerely regret to say, of the bishop of the diocese
..Dierham Chronicle,

Sir John 'Rateliff, Maybr of Birmingham, Mr
Alderman Holliday, and Mr. Councillor
I,Briggs, accor.
paned by Mr. Standbridge (town, i‘eleirk)ia-, W. E.Hil•
hard (solicitor, of Gray's-inn), and Mr. (architect),
had an interview with Mr. Secretary Walpole, at the Home-
office yesterday, and submitted to him the plans for the
adaptation of the Town-hall for the trial of Nisi Prius
causes, in accordance with the recent order in Council con-
stituting Birmingham one of the assize towns of the county
of Warwick.
THE LORD MAYORS-DAY EXPENSES.—On the
9th of Nov., 1855, when Mr. Alderman Salomons took the
civic chair for the year ensuing, the expenses of the proms.:
Rion and banquet amounted to £3,055 ; of this gross total
the dinner cost 44175. howevei, does not include
wine, which amounted to £4OB 17s. 7d. Champagne makes
the largest item among the wines, the charge being
£127 16s. 9d. for 405 bottles. The illuminations cost
£202 ss. ; music, including pay to Coldstreams, quadrille
band, vocalists, and trumpeters, £93 lls. ; furniture, fittings,
and upholstery are set down at £720 9s. 10d., and under
this head, flags, banners, wands, illuminated fruit trees,
evergreens, and armour are entered. The printing of bills
of fare, tickets, programmes, and miscellaneous stationery,
amount to £244 18s. 2d. ; the two principal items being £.50
for 100 bills of fare, printed on white satin—that is
10s each ; and £72 for dinner tickets, which are
poor things to what they used to be a century
ago. The procession figures for £45 7s and the
only item of any amount in this department is
£lO 10s. for an escort of light dragoons, " military" (of
which sort we are na informed) cost the formidable sum of
255., and mounted police 305., a "general expenditure"
makes a total of £l5B 13s. Ild. And in this list there are
some curious items—namely, perfumery, £6 17s. ; Lord
Mayor's beadle £2 2s. ; four men on roof of Guildhall,
£2 2s. ; men bringing up broken victuals, £1; Mr. Harker,
toastmaster, £2 2s. ; seven bottlemen, £3 7s.- sd. ; bottle-
PThri for members of the committee, 28 at 12s. fid. each,
£l7 10r. ; " cab hire of loving cup," 2s. ; soda water,
£6 13. The gross amount of £3,055 was apportioned for
Payment as follows :—Lord Mayor, £1,427 10s. ; Mr. Al-
derman and (then) Sheriff Kennedy, £713155. ; Mr. Alder-
man and (then) Sheriff Rose, £713 15s. The City Lands
Committee contributed cash £2OO, and thus the feast ,as
paid for. It is a popular idea that the " city"—that
corporation—pays for all the civic festivities • but that idea
should, by every good citizen, be as speedily as possible
proclaimed a Popular fallacy.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A FEMALE.—Mary Ann Taylor,
an unfortunate, was charged with a violent assault on
Emily Gardner, under the following circumstances :
From the evidence of the prosecutrix, the upper part of
whose face was enveloped in a surgical bandage, it appeared
that she was in a coffee-shop in Great Windmill-street that
morning, about four o'clock, having a chop with a gentle.
man, when a little chaffing ensuing. The prisoner, who was
sitting in the next box, jumped up and seized a glass which
was on one of the tables, and in the most deliberate manner
and with great violence threw it at her, striking her in the
eye, and inflicting a very serious wound. She bled very
much at the time, was taken to the hospital, where the
wound was sewed up, and she had at present lost the sigh*
of her eye. _ _

The prisoner said the prosecutrix had called her " a
Irish —."

A witness was galled and corroborated the prosecutrix,
and said that there was a little joking, and that the prose-
cutrix merely said the prisoner was Irish.
Mr. Beadon said that even if the prosecutrix had called
the prisoner the name she asserted, she was not justified in
committing such an assault on her. She must pay £5 or
• be committed for two months.

ATTEMPTING TO "Do" A CARMAN.—Edward Burke, a
tall, rough-looking fellow, was 'charged with assaulting.
Wm. Bulifin, a cab-driver, badge 10,273, under the follow-
tag artful circumstances :
Bullfin said that that morning he was going along the
Strand when the prisoner ran after him, got on his box,
said it was "all right," and that he had a job for him. He
then pulled out a pin, said it was gold, and that he should
have it for Bs. 6d. He then seized s hold of his whip and
reins and wanted to drive. Witness told him ho did not
want a gold pin. He then said he had robbed a gentleman
of it, and pressed him to buy it for Bs. 6d. He (witness)
then thought that the best thing he could do was to drive
on till ho came up to a constable, and then give him into
custody. Witness then took the pin from him, and the
prisoner, having an idea what he intended, jumped down
and gave him two violent blows on the head.
The prisoner said it was not a gold pin, it was only brass
He bought it himself, and could point out the shop.
Remanded.
