THE ARMY.

On Saturday, Capt. Norton attended at Bromp-
ton barracks, Chatham, for the purpose of making
some further experiments with his liquid fire rifle
shells. In the experiments made on Saturday a
liquid fire rifle:shell, adapted to a deep-grooved En-
field rifle, was fired from a pistol, rifled with the
deep grooves, into canvas suspended at the end of
the range. On the shell striking the canvas the
glass containing the liquid fire was immediately
broken, when the piece of canvas became almost
instantaneously ignited. The result of the experi-
ment proved that similar shells constructed by
Captain Norton may be fired at long ranges, from
the ordinary Enfield rifle, for the purpose of blow-
ing up the ammunition trains, or setting fire to the
camp of an enemy. Captain Norton has presented
specimens of these shells to the museum of the
United Service Institution, where they can be seen.
Orders have been forwarded from the Horse
Guards to the head-quarters of the Royal Engineer

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 7th have arrived.
The Chamber of Deputies had occupied the greater
part of its sitting on the preceding day in again
discussing the question of the erection of a statue to
Mendizabal, but no decision was come to, and the de-
bate adjourned. The Iberia recommends that when
Mr. Preston, the new Minister of the United
State,s, shall make the expected proposition for the
purchase of Cuba, the Government shall reply by
sending him his passports. The number of vessels
to be sent against the Moors of the Riff is six,
under the command of Admiral Herrara. The
commission charged with the erection of a magnifi-
cent church in Madrid, in honour of the Immacu-
late Conception, has decided on inviting the archi-
tects of all Europe to send in designs. The car-
nival was extremely gay.

Letters from Turin state that the garrison
of that city is in march for the Ticino,
whither all the cavalry has preceded it.
General Garibaldi has been appointed a General
of Division, and nominated to the command of the
three new battalions that are being raised at Cuneo.
The patriotism of Sardinia does not diminish. The
Marquis della Gonzoni has just mounted a field-
battery of artillery, in order to make a present of it
to the Government.

The Austrian Government continues to send into
Gallicia and the other Slavonian or German pro-
vinces the Italian regiments on whose fidelity it
cannot rely. It has also made numerous military
promotions, as if on the eve of war. Five Major-
Generals have been created Field-Marshal-Lieu-
tenants, with the command of Divisions. Ten
Colonels are appointed Major or Brigadier-Generals.

called on Mary Ann, and tried to settle the action
for £5O ; and that failing, he proposed to her to go
away with him to Australia, and thus to cheat both
the lawyers out of their costs. This piece of evidence
was relied upon by the plaintiff's counsel as show-
ing that Mrs. Earp meant to have said that the
defendant was " a bigger rogue than a fool." It
appeared on cross-examination that during the
three years of courtship the defendant had never
introduced his love to his father, mother, or sister ;
and suggestions were made that Mary Ann had
gone out at night to meet defendant, and had even
danced with him at tho Red Lion, but these sug-
gestions were indignantly denied by Mrs. Earp,
who said she had never heard of such a thing.
Mr. James's defence was that a reasonable time
had not elapsed for performing the promise before
the action was brought ; but that defence was
scarcely relied upon, and the learned counsel con-
tended that his client was only a half-witted idiot,
and the plaintiff's only object was to get the defen-
dant's money. He hoped, therefore, the jury would
give her the smallest possible portion of it.
Mr. Justice Crompton, in summing up the evi-
dence, divested the case of the solemnity and
importance which had been attached to it by the
speeches of counsel. His Lordship said the parties
were persons in a very humble position in life, the
plaintiff being a policeman's daughter, and the
defendant a journeyman wheelwright and joiner,
and he told the jury that they ought to give the
plaintiff temperate damages for the loss she had
sustained by the defendant's breach of promise.
The jury found for the plaintiff—Damages £5O.

THAMES,

A SHIPWRECKED SEAMAN.--A sailor came before Mr.
Yardley and said ho shipped on board the Edwin, at Hartle-
' pool, on a voyage to London, with coals, and the vessel was
lost on the Maplin Sands on Friday night last. It was
agreed that he should have £4 for the voyage from Hartle-
pool to London and back. He wished to know if he was
entitled to his wages.
Mr. Yardley—Up to the time the ship was wrecked.
The seaman stated that his captain had not yet arrived in
London.
Mr. Yardley—You had better wait till he arrives here.
The seaman--Can I 811.4 the owner ?
Mr. Yardley—Yes ; where does he live ?
Tho seaman—ln Cheapside.
Mr. Yardley—Tben you must apply at the Mansion-
house.

SAVAGE ASBI7MT ON A SEAMAN.—Ann Mullins, a big
woman of the town, who has made her appearance in this
court, on a variety of charges, at least 50 times,was brought
before Mr. Yardley, charged with committing a violent
assault on George Kennedy, a man of colour.
The complainant said he was a seaman, and now living
at 59,. St. George-street, alias Rateliff-Highway. On
Saturday night, he met the prisoner in the Highway, close
to the Cock and Neptune public-house, and she asked him
for money, and on his refusal to give her any, she struck
him down with a large street door-key, inflicting a wound
on his head, from which the blood flowed. When he got
up, she struck him again and cut his head, and
besides the loss of blood, he had since been in considerable
pain.

The prisoner, in defence, said the complainant had been
staying with her a fortnight, and ho refused to pay her.
The complainant was recalled, and said that he was ac-
costed by the prisoner a fortnight ago, who took him home,
and when ho told her he had only a shilling she kicked him
out of her house.

Police-constable, No. 144 11, said that he found the pro-
secutor covered with blood on Saturday night. The pri-
soner was a most outrageous woman, and came out of prison
on Saturday after 10 days' imprisonment.
Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner had often
assaulted men, and was a violent, unruly woman.
Mr. Yardley said the prisoner was incorrigible, and had
committed a most savage assault. He sentenced her to one
month's imprisonment and hard labour.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

SOUTH ESSEX.
All doubt as to the retirement of Sir W. Bowyer
Smijth as a candidate in the Conservative interest
for this constituency is now at an end ; and Mr. J.
W. Perry Watlington has been selected by the
party as their candidate in conjunction with. Mr.
Bramston. A strong effort will be made here by
the Conservatives to retrieve the defeat they sus-
tained by the return of Mr. Baker Wingfield in
March, 1857 ; what success will crown their efforts
remains to be seen.

CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY.
Mr. L. T. Wigram will retire from the represen-
tation of the University of Cambridge, and Mr.
Selwyn, Q.C., the eminent Chancery barrister, will
be a candidate for the vacancy. Mr. Selwyn is a
brother of Professor Selwyn and also of the Bishop
of New Zealand.

THE ROYAL ACADEMY.--It is said that the mem-
bers of the Royal Academy contemplate making a large
addition to the number of the associates, so as to include
almost every artist of note, and then to confine their exhi-
bition exclusively to the works of their own body. We give
this rumour as it has reached us; but it must be evident
that an alteration so important would lead to other changes
in the constitution of the academy.--Bulletin.

POST-OFFICE NOTICES.

BOOK PACKETS CANNOT BE REGISTERED
FOR FOREIGN COUNTRIES.
There appears to be a good deal of misapprehension as to
the registration of book packets, it being supposed that, as
such packets may be registered for places in the United
liindom and for most of the colonies upon payment of the
book postage only in addition to the registration fee of 6d.,
the same system is applicable to all book packets indiscri-
kinately, including those addressed to Franco and other
foreign countries.
This, however, is not the case. Book packets cannot be
registered to any . foreign countries except as letters, and
there are still a few of the colonies also to which the system
of registration, as regards book packets, has not yet been
eztended.
The following is a list of the colonies for which book
toackets may at present be registered upon payment of the
postage, viz.

tion with those of France held the seas, it is true,
in the Russian war, but it was by default of the
enemy. We are now told that many of these
ships were of such inferior quality as scarcely to be
fit for action, while our deficiency in smaller
vessels was such that we had to build a whole
fleet of gunboats out of hand. Finally, when
all the war is over, and we are quietly taking stock
of our effects, it is discovered that we are so terribly
deficient in line-of-battle ships as to be driven to
extraordinary efforts to make up the arrear, though
not an excuse can be made for the fact, except that
in one year out of the 11 we built small vessels to a
large extent. We must needs think that a system
which, after 11 years of such expense, leaves the
Navy in need of " complete reconstruction," is a
bad one. We are quite ready to admit, what
everybody declared, that Sir Baldwin Walker is as
good a Surveyor of the Navy as we can have ; in
fact, it appeared from Sir J. Pakington's statement
at the introduction of the Estimates, that this
officer was one of the first to detect the shortcomings
recently announced, and to press urgently for
reform. All this, however, only makes the matter
worse ; for, if even a most efficient Superintendent
cannot keep the system in order, it is clear that
this system must be radically wrong.—Times.

THE ARMY.

•
On Saturday, Capt. Norton attended at Bromp-
ton barracks, Chatham, for the purpose of making
some further experiments with his liquid fire rifle
shells. In the experiments made on Saturday a
liquid fire rifle'shell, adapted to a deep-grooved En-
field rifle, was fired from a pistol, rifled with the
deep grooves, into canvas suspended at the end of
the range. On the shell striking the canvas the
glass containing the liquid fire Was immediately
broken, when the piece of canvas became almost
instantaneously ignited. The result of the experi-
ment proved that similar shells constructed by
Captain Norton may be fired at long ranges, from
the ordinary Enfield rifle, for the purpose of blow-
ing up the ammunition trains, or setting fire to the
camp of an enemy. Captain Norton has presented
specimens of these shells to the museum of the
United Service Institution, where they can be seen.

EXPLORATION 01 AUSTRALIA.

Mr. d. M'Douall Stuart, who was the draughts-
man in Captain Sturt's second great Australian
expedition, has returned to Adelaide after a suc-
cessful exploration of the interior to the north of
South Australia. After crossing the inhospitable
region of Lake Torrens, he travelled in a zig-zag
course, and returned with a knowledge of about
40,000 square miles of new country, of which nearly
on e-halfis fit for immediate occupation. Mr. Stuart's
discoveries have considerably weakened the suppo-
sition once entertained that the interior of Australia
is an arid desert. There is now every reason to believe
that there are patches of good country intersected
with scrub throughout the whole length ofthewestern
side of the Australian continent. The country from
Lake Torrens to the Gulf of Carpentaria, the route
of the early explorers, is no doubt a barren one,
and the future tract, from south to north, must be
along the elevated country in the west. Mr. Stuart
had only one companion, besides the aborigines,
and they were at one time dependent on their guns
for a whole month to preserve themselves from
actual starvation. The country through which
they travelled was varied ; sometimes it was through
a splendid alluvial country, very fertile, where
kangaroo, emu, and cockatoos abounded, and at
other times they passed through sandy scrub and
stony deserts of the worst description. In 29 deg.
south latitude Mr. Stuart discovered the finest
creek he had ever seen in Australia. It had long,
permanent reaches, fishes were in the water, rushes
along the banks, and gum trees around. He also
found permanent water at Andamoka, and aurifer-
ous quartz reefs. Mr. Stuart has applied for a
lease of 1,500 square miles of the country he has
discovered. The South Australian House of
Assembly have agreed to give him a 14 years' lease
of the land, which is to be rent free for the first
seven years. The lessee is joined in his speculation
by Mr. Campbell, a wealthy South Australian
stock owner. The 1,500 square miles which will
be leased is about the size of Cumberland, one of
the largest counties in England. Owing to the
discoveries of Stuart, no doubt is now entertained
of the magnificent pastoral qualities of the interior,
of South Australia. The new discoveries are to
the north-east of Lake Torrens. Eyre, the ex-
plorer, believed this country to be a desert ; yet he
expressed his surprise, while in the region of the
lake, that, while hot scorching winds repeatedly
swept across to the coast, yet storms which came
up from seawards generally passed inland to the
north-east ; that when the wind was from the
north-east it was comparatively cool; and that
large flocks of parrots, of an unknown variety,
came from that quarter.

LLEBIG ON SEWERAGE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Notwithstanding that the supply of English wheat here
to-day was very moderate, the demand for all kinds ruled
somewhat heavy, at Monday's decline in the quotations.
We were rather heavily supplied with foreign wheat.
Even the finest samples were neglected. In prices, how-
ever, no change took place. Floating cargoes of grain were
tolerably firm.

Barley moved off steadily, at very full prices.
Thera was only a limited inquiry for malt, on former
;arms.

We had a good consumptive demand for oats, at very full
prices.
Beans, peas, and flour changed hands slowly; neverthe-
less prices were supported.

OLYMPIC THEATRE.

Mr. Charles Dance's capital comedietta, Naval En-
gagements," originally produced at the Olympic, in 1838,
during the reign of Madame Yeah is, has been revived with
success at the same theatre. The plot, as may be remem-
bered, turas upon the difficulties of a father and son, who
have entered into, a compact not to marry without consulting
each other, and who, in defiance of this promise, have en-
gaged themselves—the father to a young girl of 18, the
other to a blooming widow of 40. Eventually they change
future partners, and all ends happily. The part of Mrs.
Pontifea, originally sustained by Mrs. Orger, is admirably
played by Mrs. Stirling; nor does Mr. George Vining, as
Lieutenant Kingston, come far behind his prototype, Mr.
C. Mathews. A special word of praise is due to Mr. Horace
Wigan for the humour ith which he represents an Irish
waiter.

A Cabinet Council was held yesterday at the

Secretary Walpole, the Earl of Malmesbury, Sir E. Bulwer
Lytton, General Peel, Lord Stanley, Sir John Pakington,

STATE 01 TRADE.

LEEDS, Jan. 18.—There is no material change in
either the condition or the prospects of the woollen
cloth trade. There has been a fair attendance of
buyers in the cloth-halls this morning, and inquiries
as to new goods were pretty general. All things
considered, a fair amount of business was none.
Prices both of wool and cloths are very firm. Many
of the manufacturers are engaged on orders that
will keep them employed till the end'of February,
or even into March.
MANCHESTER, Jan. 18.--L-Thl letters ream Ina
which came to hand yesterday contain most favour-
able accounts, and the consequence is that the com-
parative quietness which prevailed last week has
disappeared, and largfuelleraoutteras,cftosrhfauNt'eurbeeednaghi,Ne-eryn
ecreys extending to a period of two
_ouitnfosrocnlioethh,lasttaln,
and even three months hence. These contracts em-
brace shirtings and all kinds of India fabrics. The
Canadians in this market are buying pretty freely,
but there is not much doing for the United States.
For the home trade there is no activity, but the
extent to which looms have been diverted to the
production of India goods is giving increased firm-
ness in price to most fabrics. In yarns a fair busi-
ness is doing for the home trade, at full prices, but
for export yarns the market is quiet, and where
spinners are coming out of contracts they are iv L-
ing to renew them at a decline of about 4el. per lb.
Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report :—" There is no
particular change in the market to report to-day.
There is, 'perhaps, rather more disposition to buy
India- goods for distant delivery, especially the
wider scats and a fai • amount of business has been
done in them at very full rates. Other desc, i Aions
continue in fair request at steady prices."

NEW WORK ON STRICTURE.

Just published, Bvo, in cloth, price 55., by post free, ss. 6d.,
THE TREATMENT of STRICTURES of the
URETHRA. With the Reasons why they so often
appear Incurable.
By F. B. COURTENAY, 31.R.C.5.E.,
-

And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the

Cure of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded, demonstrating his success and
explaining the cause of it. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both. to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. lat, 1858.
