Naval and Military Intelligence.

The Ordnance vessel Helena, Mr. Moore com-
mander, on Monday conveyed to the main sheers of
Portsmouth dockyard a monster piece of ordnance
for experimental service on the works now erecting
around Southsea Castle, for the defence of the en-
trance ro—t-he channel leading into Portsmouth har-
bour from Spithead. The iron carriage and slide for
mounting the gun were forwarded with it in the
Helena, from Woolwich. The gun is coil, or Arm-
strong built, has a 13-inch diameter of bore, is rifled
on the Woolwich system, and weighs 23 tons. It is
15ft. Gin, in length, has a circumference of 13ft.
Bin. at the longest part of the breech, and a diame-
ter. of 6ft. 6in. from one extreme of trunnion to the
other. The new lines of fortification, on part of
which this immense piece of ordnance is to be
mounted, will form, when completed, the key of
the sea defences of Portsmouth harbour, and having
been designed expressly to beat off the assault of any
hostile ironclad fleet, will necessarily be very for-
midable. The whole work, as designed, comprises
a central keep, with a battery to the right and left
of heavy earthworks carrying iron-shielded embra-
sures in granite frames. When completed the work
will supersede the stone fortifications of Southsea
Castle, erected during the reign of Henry VIII.,
but rebuilt in 1814 under the supervision of Major-
Gen. Fisher, R.E.., and its auxiliary earthen batte-
ries. The glacis, of the new work is washed by the
sea at high water. It stands on the southernmost
point of Southsea-common beach line, the centre of
the work being at the apex of an obtuse angle, with
the coast line tending backward from it right and
left. It commands the entrance to Portsmouth
harbour channel from the sea and Spithead, the
channel being narrowed by the shoals so as only to
permit of the passing of one vessel at a time be-
tween them and the shore fortifications. The length
of the channel from the throat of the harbour at
Blockhouse fort to the Spit Shoal fort at the southern
end, or commencement of the entrance channel, is
20 cables in a line parallel with Southsea-common
beach, the distance from Blockhouse to the centre
of the new work of Southsea being about 13 cables,
and the breadth of water between the apex of the
work and the Spit fort, which all vessels, large or
small, must pass round to enter the harbour chan-
nel, being about six cables' length. These distances
will give some idea of the important part which the
new work must play in any future defence of the
harbour and dockyard of Portsmouth from attack
from seaward. The centre of the work is still oc-
cupied by the ancient stone tower of Henry
time. It is mounted with four 8-inch smooth-bore
guns, but is ordered to be dismantled as soon as the
exact form of the new keep has been decided upon.
At one period during the progress of the works it
was proposed to crown the old stone keep with an
iron cupola on Captain Coles's plan, but this idea
has now been abandoned owing to the evident
weakness of the square tower and its incompetency
to support a cupola and its guns of sufficient weight
engage and defeat ironclad ships of war. Such a
structure is subject to the same conditions as are
attached to the design and construction of the
marine forts at Spithead—it should not be erected
for present necessities only, but as far as may be
possible as a work for all time. For these reasons
' it is now contemplated to level the old stone work
to its foundation, and, with its granite material, to
build up a solid foundation for an iron cupola to
mount guns of not less calibre than the one brought
to Southsea and now about-to be mounted experi-
mentally on the west earthen battery of the work.
The details of this cupola have not yet been fully
decided upon, but its design, it is understood, will
Ibe sufficiently comprehensive to mount four of
these immense guns. The cupola will be revolv-
ing, like the turrets on board the Royal Sovereign,
and with a small steam engine to work it its move-
ment can always be continued in one direction,
its guns loaded when turned away from the enemy,
and each gun fired as it is brought to bear upon
the enemy by the cupola's revolutions. All this
yet remains to be accomplished. The earthern
batteries, however, which will form the right and
left flank of the cupola keep are all complete now,
with the exception of the iron shields to their em-
brasures and the laying down of the metal radial
ways for training the guns on their platforms. The
entire line of earthen rampart is in excess of 1,600
feet, 1,100 of which forms the battery west
of the keep and along the line of the harbour
channel, parallel with Southsea beach, and the re-
mainder east of thekeep, and commanding the shoals
and the outer deep water at the channel entrance.
A mortar battery on each flank of the keep at the
junction of the earthworks has been prepared for
mounting each two of the heaviest of this class of
ordnance. The east battery will mount 11 guns and
the west battery 21, none of which will be less than
12 tons each in weight. All of these guns, which,
from their position, are exposed to a direct fire from
seaward, will be fought through iron shields fixed
between the granite piers of their embrasures, each
of these shields will be made of rolled iron armour-
plates 13in. in thickness, 12ft. in width by Bft. in
height, and will be strengthened further on the inner
side by siin. crossed iron frames, to which the ar-
mour-plates will be secured by bolts and nuts in the
usual way. The shields will have a slight incline
towards the interior of the work of 4iin. from thir
base, and will be held in position by side struts of
iron and cross tail pieces of enormous strength. The
gunport in each shield'will measure 3ft. 6in. by 2ft.
The earthen ramparts to carry all this mass of super-
incumbent metal in shields, guns, carriages, and their
slides, have been built of unusual dimensions, and
strengthened in every way with granite, brick, and
concrete. The thickness of the earth at the narrowest
part of their base line is 108 ft. The middle of the
terre-plein is 27ft. Gin., and of the merlon 29ft. 6in.
—the total thickness of earth at the gun platform being
no less than 57ft. in the weakest parts. The distance
frotn centre to centre of the gun shields averages
55ft. The camp stands a good height above the terre
plein, and the garrison will be fully protected from
all seaward danger, excepting vertical fire. To every
two guns are provided expense and shell magazines
along the faces of the batteries, and on the flanks of
the batteries the magazine provision is still more
extensive. On the extreme of the west battery, where
it might become, under certain exceptional condi-
tions, exposed to a flanking fire from long range
guns, the six guns mounted there are thoroughly
protected from the. effects of such a contingency b y
massive earthen traverses. The two main magazines
one in each battery at the base of the rampart, are
each large and massively constructed buildings, but
standing on the level of the parade ground.
powder bays have each a stowage capacity for 750

DUBLIN, May 22.
One of the most daring, deliberate, and coolly
executed attempts at assassination ever made in this
country took place on Sunday night, at Howth.
Warner, the approver, who gave evidence against
the Fenian prisoners during the trials at the late
Special Commission, had been living at Clontarf,
under the protection of the constabulary. Although
aware that he is the object of intense hatred, he im-
prudently exposed himself while there, having gone
into a publichouse, and exhibited a pistol, which was
taken from him, and he was at the same time ter-
ribly beaten. He was, consequently, removed to
Howth, where, with his wife and six children, he
lodged in a house next door to the constabulary
station, and was under the protection of a sub-
constable named Tormy. On Sunday evening,
about 8 o'clock, Warner and his protector were
standing against the wall of the graveyard about
ten yards from the police barracks, when they
were accosted by a strange man, who inquired the
name of the graveyard, and then got into conver-
sation with them, and ultimately invited them to
have some drink at a publichouse. Tormy refused
to go, stating that he belonged to the police. The
stranger then inquired where they lived, said he
was hungry, and asked whether they knew a place
where he could get refreshments. Warner, who is
said not to have been quite sober, then invited him
to take tea with him at his lodgings. The visitor
was introduced to Mrs. Warner, and made himself
so agreeable that several bottles of porter were
afterwards breught in and consumed. About half-
past 10 o'clock the man, who gave his name as
O'Connor, expressed a wish to stay all night if he
could get a bed. Thelandlady said she would give
one sooner than let him out at that late hour. The
offer was thankfully accepted ; but before retiring
to rest O'Connor asked Warner to be good enough
to show him the way to the back yard. He did so,
and as soon as they got outside of the door O'Connor
stabbed him in the neck behind the ear with a dagger
about six inches long. It pierced the collar of the
coat, vest, and shirt, and inflicted a wound about
an inch deep, striking against the bone, but cutting
no arteries. The wound, though dangerous, was
not mortal, and Warner, who is a courageous man,
of great muscular power, about 40 years of age,
turning instantly, seized his assailant by the collar,
a desperate struggle ensued, and O'Connor was
able to escape only by leaving behind him his coat,
vest, and hat. He also left the dagger, and in his
coat pocket was a six-chamber revolver, loaded with
two bullets in each chamber, and capped. O'Connor
escaped by jumping over the wall. He bad a return
ticket for that day, and no doubt intended to have
perpetrated the murder in time to get back to
Dublin by the last train, but not being able to ac-
complish that, and being without hat or coat, he
seems have walked along the railway. Warner
rushed into the house, bleeding profusely, and
shouting " Murder !" when Tormy ran out with-
out waiting to dress, revolver in hand, but too late.
Dr. Rorke, of Baldoyle, was immediately sent for,
and arrived above half-past 11 o'clock, when he
bound up the wound and stopped the hemorrhage.
The constabulary were instantly in motion to arrest
the fugitive. Head-constable Keown having sent
his men out in all directions, took a car himself and
drove rapidly into town, rousing the constabulary at
every station on the way, and giving notice at
the detective-office in Dublin. The consequence
was that the whole country was scoured by the

TEETII AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.-
The fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all
deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH are of
vital importance from availing themselves of the services of
a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now extending
over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled
has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the moat sensi-
tive sufferer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute
freedom from pain, a specialite pertaining only to our prac-
tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters
patent. This system embraces the non-interference with all
stumps, however decayed, the support.ng instead of extrac-
tion of loose teeth until they become firm and useful in mas-
tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so
that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of
pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur-
able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced.
Consultation free. Teeth from ss, Sets from 5 to 25 get.,

The case excited considerable interest, the court
and the yard leading to it being crowded with per-
sons from the neighbourhood.
Albert Charles Tuck, a young man, living at
Point-pleasant, Wandsworth, said he was returning
from Putney about 12 the previous night when he
was told that a man had gone along with his throat
cut. Witness walked on and saw a man and woman
lying in the middle of the road. The prisoner was
the female, and .she was on the top of him. The
man was bleeding from the throat and the prisoner
was crying. Witness asked what was the matter,
and the man said his throat was cut, and that his
wife had done it, and that the woman was his wife.
The prisoner madeno answer. Witness picked him
up and brought him to the station as well as he
could. •

Mr. Ingham—ls the man able to attend ?
Inspector Usher—No, sir. He is in the infirmary
at the Wandsworth Workhouse, and not expected to
live. The inspector was then sworn, and stated as
follows :—Between 12 and 1 yesterday morning I
was sent for to the station. On arriving there I
found the injured man in the reserve-room with his
throat cut. Dr. Winslow, the police divisional sur-
geon, who had been previously sent for, was attend-
ing him. The Hon. Mr. Wrottesley soon afterwards
attended and took the injured man's declaration
The magistrate was sent for by the advice of the
surgeon. The man was not sworn, but he made the
statement, and it was afterwards read over to him.
The prisoner cried and sobbed bitterly. I charged
her with attempting to murder her husband by cut-
ting his throat with a razor. After a pause she said
" Yes." She gave me the latch key of the street-
door, and said I should find the razor on the top of
two boxes in the bedroom. She asked me to fetch
a dress and several other articles, which I did. I
went to the place and found the razor as described.
It was covered with blood.
Mr. Ingham—Was it wet ?
Inspec,tor Usher—No, sir. The blood was dry,
as I found the razor two hours after the occurrence.
I found the bed covered with blood. I also found
a rope tied across the bed two or three times. This
is the rope (producing it). It is steeped in blood. I
traced blood on the handles of the locks of the doors,
and also on the way from Putney to Wandsworth.
Mr. Ingham (to the prisoner)—Have you any
questions to put to the officer ?

Prisoner (who was crying)—No, sir.
At a subsequent period of the day the magistrate,
accompanied by Mr. Andrew, the clerk, proceeded
to the infirmary to take the injured man's deposi-
tion on oath. The prisoner was removed from the
station to the bedside of her husband who made the
following statement :—" On Sunday we agreed to
separate. On Monday night I went home and lay
down on the bed. I awoke and found my hands tied
to the bedstead and my feet entangled with a rope.
Blood was pouring from my throat. My wife was
lying upon me. She said, "I'll let you know whe-
ther you are going away," and she made another cut
at my throat., I think it must have been with
a razor. I pushed her off me. I promised her I would
not go away. She cut the rope and I got loose.
She tried to prevent my getting up by holding me
down by the shoulder, but I was too strong. I got
away and ran into the street. She followed me
and
said, 'I hope you will not transport me.' I was
very weak, but got half-way to the police-station.
She took hold of my arm and asked me not to tran-
sport her. I fell from weakness, and a young man
and a policeman helped me to the station."
The only question put by the prisoner to her
husband was whether he did not say, on awaking,
that he had brought the affair on himself.

arm. After a smart run he was captured by Con-
stables Patton and M'Loughlin. The prisoner was

brought before the local magistrates, Messrs. Flood

and Lawrence, by whom he was remanded and sent

to Kilmainham gaol, having taken the evidence of
Warner and his wife, Tormy, and the constables by
whom he was arrested. The police think that
O'Connor is a false name, and that the prisoner is
no other than Richard Keapep, who shot O'Neill,
the policeman, and for whose arrest a large reward
had been offered. If this be so, his audacity is
wonderful, and he must have counted on an extra-
ordinary want of discernment in the police. He is
about 26 years of age, and sft. 6in. in height. He
states that he is by trade a leather cutter. Dr. Rorke
says that he cannot pronounce a positive opinion
about his patient for a day or two.
There has been no new case of rinderpest reported

on a farm about three miles from the town on

rinderpest. The mayor, magistrates, and pace are

fairness and impartiality, a marked contrast to certain re-

—very good and generous person feels a
nat sympathy iEn the presence of suffering ; hut how
much more graceful would that compassion be if it could
supply the means of relief. Professor Holloway offers to
every one the never-failing power of thus rendering the
most essential service to afflicted humanity. His noble
remedies reach the seat of every malady, whether it be on
the surface or hidden in the darker recesses of the interior of
the system, and thus extirpate it, if that be possible.
Plainly printed instructions for the guidance of invalids

tion of which is not only European, but extends through-
out the globe.
