The United Service Gazette has received from
America an account of a number of experiments which
have been made by Colonel Shaffner on a new explosive—
nitro-glycerine. The experiments were so numerous that
it is impossible to find space for them, but we may say
(says the Gazette) that they fully prove the nitro-glycerine
to be a fearfully powerful explosive agent, well adapted
for mines, petards, and similar purposes, and quite under
control. We believe that both it and gun-cotton will be
found available for artillery also, when the gun is adapted
to the powder, instead of the powder to the gun. The
long-barrelled gun has descended to us from antiquity,
when, from the imperfection of the bore and the windage,
shot wobbled in the gun, and therefore length was found

A Great Jewel Swindle.

PARIS, Monday.
All Paris is talking about a story which resembles
a good deal that of " The Queen's necklace."

In the month of February last a jeweller in Paris,
M. Cramer, received a letter sealed with the Prussian
arms, and signed " Comte de Schaffgotsch," Cham-
berlain of his Majesty the King of Prussia, in which
he was asked if he wished to undertake the execution
of some models, in brilliants, of an order which the
Queen intended to create.

The jeweller immediately accepted, and some days
a:terwards there arrived some drawings executed by
the Queen herself. The jeweller set to work forth-
with, and in a few weeks afterwards he transmitted
to Berlin a magnificent cross, surrounded with
diamonds.

He received congratulations, and an order for a
dozen wore diamond crosses, with a further promise
of an order for the crown of the Prince. of Hohen-
zollern as Sovereign of the Danubian Principalities.
The jeweller was the happiest of men. His fortune
was evidently made.
But when and how was he to forward the crosses ?
The Count replied that he was just then charged
with a diplomatic mission, and that on a day named
he would be at Cologne, and would receive the
decorations at a banker's in that town.

The jeweller sends the crosses to the house of
Oppenheim, informing them that they were to be
delivered to the Chamberlain of the Queen of
Prussia. Some days afterwards the count informed
by letter the intermediate agents that he would pass
through the town at a certain hour, and begged
them to forward to him the jeweller's parcel through
a clerk.

No sooner said than done. The Queen of Prussia
was delighted, and her chamberlain gives to the
jeweller another order for crosses, to be also set in
diamonds.

But there was nothing said as to payment, and
the jeweller, uneasy in mind, did at last what he
should have done at first. He called upon the
Prussian ambassador at Paris, who informed him
that he had been dealing with a knave, and that the
letters were all forged.

The jeweller, in consternation, sets out for Baden
under the advice of the ambassador, sees the Queen,
and is assured by her that she is an entire stranger
to the whole story of the crosses.

On his return to Paris the jeweller receives
another letter from the pretended count, who in-
sinuates this time that he might himself be decorated
with the order of the Red Eagle.

Now, however, the jeweller was on his guard.
The police were communicated with, and they ma-
nagel to draw the fox into the trap.
He is, it appears, a man of good family, whom
passion for gambling has ruined ; he is the son of
an old general, and holds himself rank and title at
the Court of Prussia, &c. The police have seized, at
the hotel where he put up in Paris, all the jewel-
ler's letters, some diamonds detached from the
crosses, with several visiting cards, having the name
of the Count of Schaffgotsch on them, together with
a blank stamp bearing the arms of the Queen of
Prussia, &c.
This very curious affair will soon be unravelled
before the tribunals.

IMPERIAL GUARANTEES.

In reply to Mr. HUBBARD for returns on the above sub-
ject,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said there
would be no objection to granting the return moved for
by the hon. gentleman. With respect to his question, it
was quite true that the Turkish Government had failed to
provide the interest on the loan specified on the Ist of
August, but he felt it his duty to add that he had that
afternoon received information from the Turkish Ambas-
sador, who had received the communication by telegraph,
that the necessary funds for making the payment, and also
for the sinking fund, had been forwarded to Constanti-
nople, and might be expected in this country in the course
of a few days. The Governments of France and England
had made good their guarantee, but what would be done
for the future he must decline to answer that part of the
question until the Governments of France and England
had deliberated on the matter.

INDIAN OFFICERS.

Major JERVIS asked the Secretary of State for India
whether any, and, if so, what steps had been determined
on with a view of finally remedy:ng the grivances under
which the oißcer3 of the local army of India had so long
laboured ?

Viscount CRANBORNE said it was proposed to offer
some remedy, but it was extremely difficult to explain what
that remedy was, without transgressing the bounds given
in answel:ng questions. In brief, one of the remedies was
to allow all officers belonging to the Indian army before
the amalgamation to join the staff corps without going
through any kind of examination; and with respect
to tho bonus system, it was proposed to appoint a com-
mittee in each Presidency to inquire into the amount paid
by each officer as he retired, and to ascertain the pay-
ments he had made, which payments would be returned
by the Government to officers, but without interest.

THE OLD NAME.—We may congratulate our-
selves that our national name is to remain what it has been
since 1789 a short time longer. A proposition made in
Congress some time ago to abolish the title " United
States of America" and substitute "America," has, after
patient deliberation, and for aught we know, learned dis-
cussion, before a committee of Congress, been defeated by
the action of that committee. The members of that body
have decided that there is no good reason for making a
change which the people have not asked for, and we
remain the " United States" still. We know that it is
urgod that there are other "United States " besides ours,
as, for instance, the "United States of Mexico," the
"United States of Colombia,' &c., &c. But, throughout
the world our country is known as the "United States,"
whilst the others are called "Mexico," "Colombia," &c.
In In addition, we have no right to monopolise the name
" America," which belongs to the Western hemisphere,
embsral,htere,
and is as much the property of nations in North,
and South America as our own. The propositionthon tho is fanciful

MR.
HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52;
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new descrip-
tiun of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires,
or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth
as not to be distinguished fro n the originals by the closest
observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will
be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This
method does not require the extraction of roots, or any pain-
ful operation, and wilt support and preserve teeth that are
loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastica-
tion. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful
in mastication.

BILL.

The house then went into committee on this bill.
Clause 1 was agreed to.
Sir F. GOLDSMID moved an additional clause to the
effect that nothing in the bill should be taken to autho-
rise the extradition of persons for political offences.
Llrd STANLEY objected to the clause, pointing out
that it would exempt from extradition cases of political
assassination, like Orsini's crime, or the recent shooting of
a Fenian informer, and expressing a doubt whether any
clause could be so worded as to be free from a similar ob-
jection. Byway of showing that the present law gave
ample securities against the extradition of political offen-
ders, he maintained that offences incident to political corn-
motions could not be included under the designation of
,‘ murder, or attempt to murder," and that the Secretary of
State, if a political offender were demanded, would have
the option of not putting the law into effect ; and, with
regard to the latter part of the clause, he said it was not
the practice of the French Executive to arrest a man for
one offence and try him for another, and that if Buell a
deceit were practised it would lead to to an immediate de-
termination of the treaty. He reminded that during the
last 23 years no political offender had loon demanded, and
urged the unfairness of altering the bargain without com-
munication with the other parties, and the futility of trying
to bind a foreign Government which might wish to act
dishonestly by a guarantee.

After some discussion, Lord Stanley consented to limit
the duration of the bill to one year ; and a clause to tha
effect, proposed by Mr. Kinglake, was inserted in the bill
Sir F. Goldsmld withdrew his clause, and a clause proposed
by Mr. M‘C. Torrens, providing that the whole of the de-
positions shall be laid before the committing magistrate,
was negatived without a division. The bill was then read
a third time and passed.
Mr. WA TKIN withdrew his motion for a commission
to inquire into the Banking and Currency Laws, and the
house adjourned at five minutes to eight o'clock.

THE ENGLISH JUDGES.

Mr. GRAVES asked the Attorney-General whether it
was the intention of the Government to take into consi-
deration .the necessity for increasing the number of
Judges, and the re-arrangement of the jurisdiction of the.
Cour,s.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the subject was one
of extreme difficulty, but he was authorised by :he Lord
Chancellor to state that dwing the recess his most anxi-
ous attention would be given to the state of judicial
business, with a view devising some remedy for the
more speedy disposal of business.

THE OXFORD.

Mr. Morton, the talented and successful manager
of this establishment, ever on the look-out for
novelty, has just effected an engagement with
Mademoiselles Julia and Juliette Delepierre (aged
respectively nine and thirteen years) the celebrated
violinists who have lately made such a furore on
the continent. They made their first appearance at
this favourite resort on Wednesday last, and have
proved by their brilliant execution of morceaux from
the btst masters that they are likely to become im-
mense favourites with the British public. Made-
moiselle Julia likewise plays an air de variete upon
an instrument which is almost unknown in this coun-
try, called a " Xylophone," and is said to be con-
structed of bois et paille. The skilful manipulation
of the younger of these fair debutants draws down
nightly thunders of applause. In the comic depart-
ment Messrs. Duriah and Davies, the eccentric
niggers, seem to be more funny than ever, and have
added to their repertoire a capital burlesque
on sensational acrobat business. A Mr. Adams,
who has been rusticating in the provinces, is
now added to the staff of comiques, and we
have no hesitation in saying that when this
gentleman can obtain songs more suited to a
metropolitan audience he will become a great
favourite, for he appears to possess a versatility of
talent far above the average of the so styled comiques,
and mice or twice put us in mind of the late Sam
Cowell. Selections from the operas of " Trombal-
cazar," "If I were King," " Trovatore," " The
Slave," and " Martha," are nightly performed under
the direction of Mr. Jonghmans, in which that
fascinating prima donna, Miss Russell, astonishes
her audience with her splendid voice, and Miss Fitz-
henry meets with the applause her soul inspiring
singing so justly commands. And when we find
associated with these two favourites such names as
Mr. St. Albyn, Mr. Dalton, Monsieur Bury, and
Signor Tivoli, we need scarcely say the lovers of
music may always pass a pleasant evening at the
Oxford.

Court of Aldermen.

Yesterday a court of aldermen, specially con-
vened, was held at Guildhall, for the purpose of re-
ceiving a communication made to the Right Hon.
the Lord Mayor by Mr. John Joseph Mechi, sur-
rendering the office of alderman for the Ward of
Lime-street. Among the aldermen present were
the following :—The Lord Mayor, Alderman Sir J.
Musgrove, Bart., Mr. Alderman Salomons, M.P.,
Mr. Alderman Finnis, Mr. Alderman Rose, Mr.
Alderman Lawrence, M.P., Mr. Alderman Allen,
Mr. Alderman J. C. Lawrence, Mr. Alderman Bes-
ley, Mr. Alderman Waterlow, Mr. Alderman Lusk,
M.P., Mr. Alderman Stone, and Mr. Alderman and
Sheriff Gibbons.

The Sheriffs having presented their report of the
state of the City prisons, from which it appeared
that in Newgate there were 124 prisoners, two in the
infirmary; in the Debtors' prison, Whitecross-street,
87 prisoners, of whom 8 were in the infirmary ; and
in the City prison, Holloway, 328 prisoners, of
whom 8 were in the infirmary.
The TOWN C LEEK read the following letter, which
had been addressed to the Lord Mayor by Mr.
Alderman Mechi

Alderman Sir J. MUSGROVE, Bart., at once rose,

begged to suggest that his resignation ought not to

of agriculture their colleague had done much good,
and he (Alderman Musgrove) as an agriculturist
himself, felt thankful to him for his publication of
very many useful little works on that subject..
(Hear, hear.) In addition to these claims, Mr.
Mechi merited their thanks for his services as a
magistrate, and the manner in which he fulfilled
his duties, not only as an alderman, but as a fellow-
citizen. In the belief that these sentiments pervaded
the body he now addressed, he should move the

Death of the Marquis Camden.

•
We have to announce the sudden death of the
Marquis Camden, who was found dead in his bed
yesterday morning, at Bayham Abbey, the family
seat in Sussex. The noble marquis up to the lag
hour of his life appeared in the enjoyment of 2te cel-
lent health. There was nothing to denote so sadden
an affliction to his family. His eldest son had re-
cently been married, and there had been rejoicings,
in which he participated, on the family estate, in
celebration of that happy occasion. A gloom is con-
sequently cast over the family circle by the unex-
pected demise of the noble peer.
The late Right Hon. George Charles Pratt, Mar-
quis and Earl Camden, Earl of Brecknock in NV-ales'
Viscount Bayham of Bayham Abbey, county Sussex,
and Baron Camden of Camden Place, county Kent'
in the peerage of the United Kingdom, was the only
son of John Jeffreys, Ist Marquis Camden, 10"
by Frances, daughter and heir of the late William
Molesworth, of Wembury, Devon. He was b°l.ll
May 2, 1799, therefore he was in his 67th year'
The late Marquis succeeded to the family honours
on the death of his father, Oct. 8,1840, having Pre;
viously married, Aug. 27, 1835, Harriet, eldest'
daughter of the late Right Rev. G. Murray, Lord
Bishop of Rochester, which estimable lady died Dee'
22, 1854, by whom he has a numerous issue.
Through the event of his lordship's sudden death
his eldest son, the Earl of Brecknock, recently
elected M.P. for Brecon, succeeds to the marquisate•
The Earl of Brecknock, who succeeds to the title,
was born June 30, 1840, and onthe 12thult. married
Lady Cornelia Churchill, step-sister of the present
Dyke of Marlborough.
The late marquis was a Knight of the Garter, an
honour conferred upon him by the recommendation
of the late Sir R. Peel. His lordship was also Lora
Lieutenant of the county of Brecon, which the late
Lord Palmerston bestowed upon him.
