DOUBLE-BARREL CANNON.-A letter from Berlin, 27th
ult., says :—" The problem of a double-barrel' cannon has
just been solved here. One has been constructed, the bar-
rels of which are united at the breech, but are at the same
time moveable, so that they can be pointed in different
directions. They are loaded at the breach. The ordinary
carriages will serve for this new gun with but very slight
modification."

SWITZERLAND.—The affluence of strangers- resembles,
we are told, the ancient migrations of nations. At every
step one meets with Englishmen, Americans, and. Italians,
besides Frenchmen and Germans without number, The
baths of Baden, a small place in the canton of Argovie,
numbers now nearly 6,000 visitors. His Imperial High-
ness the Prince Peter of Oldenburg,the nephew of Nicholas,
and President of the Senate, passed there on the 21st ult.,
bound homewards.

THE ROYAL DANISH RAILWAY has been completed, and
a direct communication is thus to be opened for passengers
and merchandise from the North Sea to the Baltic. An
experimental trip was made on the 2/st ult., and the
official inauguration of the line is expected to take place in
the course of a few weeks. Travellers leaving London on
Saturday evening will then be enabled to breakfast at
Flensburg, a Baltic port, on Monday morning.
THE SPANISH REPITGEES.—Among the passengers by
the Peninsular Mail steamer, Madrid, which arrived at
Southampton on Saturday week, were the sons and
daughters of the duke of Rianzares (Munoz) and Queen
Christina, the Queen-Mother of Spain. They embarked
on board the Madrid at Lisbon incognito. The daughters
are three in number, and grown up ; the sons are two in
number, and are mere boys. They travelled as the children
of a gentleman named Eugene de Ochoas, who was on
board with them, and whom they addressed as Dana.

POLYGAMY is introducing anew style of building at
Salt Lake City. A man with half-a-dozen wives builds, if
he can, a long, low building, having six entrances from the
outside ; and when he takes in a new wilts if ahlo fn a.,

adds another apartment. The object is to keep the ivomen
and babies as much as possible apart, and prevent those
terrible catfights which sometimes occur, with all the ac-
companiments of Billingsgate, torn caps, and broken broom-
sticks. As the " divine institution" extends, these build-
ings increase, and in a few years the city will look like a

cocas, tine eaitor remarks A collection of errors of
the press of the malignant type would be among the curi-
osities of literature. Bayle records several curious speci-
mens. In the loyal Courier of former days it appeared
that his Majesty George the Fourth had a fit of the goat
at Brighton. We have seen advertised a sermon by a cele-

very comprehensive
publication. The vicinity of lives and lies is indeed most
dangerous, a single letter more or less making a lie of a
life, or a life of a lie. Glory, too, is liable to the same mis-
chance, the dropping of the liquid making it all gory.
