other weapon hitheito.known. The gun,, with its
preSent bore—namely, a three-inch . diarneter
weighs seven- tons-, and' presents an appearance
(with the exception of the preserlt -calibre) similar
to one of our 68-pounders. The charge will con-
sist of 1:61b,,(if powder, and a conicall3--shaped shot,
,' weighted with lead to 91b., and hollowed, similarly
I to the Minie bullet; which it is presumed will be
propelled. 15 or 20 miles. Mr. Jeffries, it is stated,
has asserted his conviction that it would carry from
Jiover to Calais. It is the intention of the authori-
ties,tO carry out a varied and complicated course of
experiments under the inspection of the Select
committee ..of Woolwich Arsenal. After being
satisfied of its' power in its present form, the bore
will be progressively increased to a 68-pounder. To
enable the gttfiners to point the gun, the trunnions
will be fitted with a couple of telescopes, to' assist
the eye over the enormous range predicted.

LIBERAL DEMONSTRATION AT

CIiELMSFORD.

Yesterday, a grand demonstration of the .Refor-
mers of South. Essex, and the friends and •suppor-
ters of Kr.' R; 8.-Baker, the former Liberal mem-
ber for that 'division of the ~:ounty, took place` at
Clieltififiiid; 'Which town, throueiout the day, pre-
sented an unuSual. appearance. of animation and
gaiety in consequence of the numerous. banners
exhibited, and the
.triumphal arches erected over
some of the leading thoroughfares. The 'chair was
occupied by Mr. 11. Tindal Atkinson, and imme-
diately behind the hon. and learned gentleman
w-c re displayed•the famous lines:—
" Freedom's battle once begun,
Bequeath'd from bleeding sire to son,
Though baffled oft is ever won." •
The vice-chair was occupied by Mr. James Par-
ker, And the appearance of_ Mr. Baker, accompa-
nied by Mr. J. A. Ilardcastle, M.P. for Bury, and
Mr. T. S. Western, M.P. for Malden, was greeted
with repeated rounds of applause.
To the tharkt,Wrifiiiikusc of Commonsi"
Mr. J. A. liAnDcAszLE, M.P. for Bury, in _ _
re-
sponding, observed th -a large proportion of those
present `were .non-electors; and he thanked them
heartily for the manner. in which they had received
the toast, inasmuch as it afforded'a proof that they
felt some 'amount of tenfiilenbein the house of
Commons;. although: not /enabled to participate in
electoral rights. A Reform Bill, had of late years
been often promised, but never' obtained; and if he
attempted to describe what that bill would be when
it was submitted next session, he should prpbablv
prove a false prophet.. Tic would, however, state
that in order to satisfy the people it Must 'contain
provisions' foe a considerable- extension the
suffrage, and . the. admission, of a large amount of
unrepresented, intelligence to constitutional pri-
vilegcs. The
TenfranChisenient of the working
classes was a 'very common popular phrase, but he
scarcely' liked it, as it appeared to be an, asser-
tion that those who at present possess:d the
franchia 'did not belong to the working classes.
Ife.confeiteled,. hoivever, that those who laboured
mentally . equally ranked with those who
laboured „physically,
,so far as regarded
their 'right ' to be -eousidered as a conipo-
flout portion of the working classes, lie
trusted that the promised Reform Bill, when it did
appear, Would prove a comprehensive measure, and
if otherwise it should riot receive his support.
• Mr: BIKER said the country expected axea,l mea-
sure of Reform ;from. the present Government, and
no Reform Bill, would satisfy 'the people unless' the
suffrage was largely extended, and purity of eke•
tiotrproraoted.. (Loud cheers.)
• Mr. WESTERN, M.P. for Maiden, said it had been
a favourite assertion with anti-reformers, that the
people were apathetic, and did hot care for Reform.
Such 'Meetings as the pres,ent.'were a practical
denial to this opinion. It was impossible to put off
the question of Reform Much longer. The country
had now the advantage of possessing a Ministry
which contained in its ranks earnest and true Re-
formers, such as Lord J. Russell and Mr. M. Gib-
son—(eheers)—and therefore they had a right to
expect an instalment of Reform, not ore, niggardly
nature, but commensurate with the advanced edu-
cation and intelligence of the age, and which would
not exclude from the suffrage large masses of the
people now nuenfranchised.
The remaining toasts were " The Ballot," "The
Non-ElectOrs,' Committee,' "The Press," "The
Chairman," and Vice-Chairman;" and the com-
pany separated. at nine o'clock.

GENESEE FALLS CROSSED ON A
WET CORD.

The great feat of. crossing the Genesee river and
falls upon a rope was successfully accomplished
yesterday afternoon in the presence of the largest
array of spectators that we have ever seen congre-
gated for a single object in this city: Delave made
his bow to the audience, took up his pole and walked
boldly but cautiously forward: lie .had not gono
' far More it was apparent that he laboured under
disadvantages. The rope was imperfectly staYed,
not drawn as tight as it should have been ; and his
balancing pole Was so .limber that it frequently
caught in the guys ; and what is more, the rope was
wet. But Delave moved on, balancing himsel fa gainst
the swaying -of the rope with so much skill as to
satisfy all t hat he had confidence in himself. As he
approdehed the sheet of falling water over, which the
rope passes at the west end it was thought by many
that he would falter, but he did nnt, and passed
safely to -the roof of the sawmill. His arrival, on
the west side was greeted with cheers that rent the
air and echoed along the chasm of the river below.
After remaining about fiur.minutes upon the west
side, DelaVe again took up his pole for his return.
He walked steadily forward to th.• centre of the
'river, and there seated himself, throwing his
pole across the guys. Ho then laid himself upon
the rope lengthwise, first backward then forward.
After proceeding a little further he stopped, and
resting first upon one foot and then upon another
bowed very low to the audience in Falls-field. He
next walked rapidly to the place of starting, mak-
ing long strides as he ascended to the east bank of
immense
cheering, river. His landing was the signal for
cheering, and the successful adventurer was seized.
by his friends and borne away in triumph. The
audience then speedily withdrew, all satisfied that
Delave had successfully performed all that ho had.
promised to do, and he performed it under great
disadvantages. The rope was wet and not pro-
perly stayed. Those who have seen Blondin walk
at Niagara all agree that this feat of Delave was
more perilous. Illondin's rope is firm, and does
not yield bencith his feet ; neithere is there a side
motion. The guys are so arranged that his weight
tends to make them tighter. But the reverse was
the case yesterday with Delave. Some of his guys
were slackened by the depression, and the rope had
a great deal of side way, far more than it would.
have had if the stays had been perfectly adjusted.
On the whole it was a great triumph for Delave.
Blondin was present, and we are told that he said.
a few minutes before Delave went upon the rope
that it was not in a safe or suitable condition for s,
man to walk on. Delave will walk again next
'uesday.—Rochester Union, August 17.
