Europe. AIr. Maeize says that the au,oniaton has
played with the most skiliul players in England,
France, and Germany, and only lost five games in
400. 1t will be exhibitedipubicly in few days,
of which we presume due notice will be given. II is
considered the greatest piece OF mechanism that the
human mind has ever invented. and has hitherto
bafiied every attempt to discover by what secret
springs its movements are directed. It appears TO
the spectator to be guided by uncontrolled free
will, standing entirely insulated, and not having
any apparent connection with any living being

PASSED through it. On all hands this declared
TO be the utmost effort OF force that gunpowder
could exert. Indeed understand tina, this plate
had been brought specially from Woolwch. tor the
purpose of asceftaining the comparative force OF
stesm and gunpowder. The pressure OF steam
employed 10 effect this wonderful force, learnt,
phe,es, or 900 lbs to the square inch and
il was repeatedly stated 10y MIR. Perkins that the
pressure might be carried to 300 a,mospheres
with perfect safety. Mr.. Perkins then proceeded
TO demonstrate the rapidity with which muskei
balls nigh, be projected by its agency. To effect
this he screwed ON 10 the gun barrel tube filled
with balls, which, falling down by their own srav
! ity into the barrel, were projected. one by one,
with such extraordinary velocity TO demonstrate
that, by means of succession ofubes, filled with
balls, fixed in wheel Ga model OF which ex-
hibted.) nearly one Thousand balls per minute
| might be discharged. In subsequent discharge
or volleys the barrel, TO which is attached NOV
cable joint given a lateral direction, and the
balls perforated plank nearly twelve fest IN length.
Thus, if opposed TO regiment in line, the steam
gun might be made TO act from of its extremi-
! ties to the other similar plank was afterwards
! plac ed in perpendicular position, and, in like
manner, there was stream of shot holes from the
top to the bottom 1t is thus proved that the
gun has not only the force of gunpowder but also
admits of any direction being given TO it, But wha,
seemed TO create most surprise tie effects OF
a volley of balls discharged against the brick wall
, by the side OF the target. They absolutely dug q
hole Of considerable dimensions in the wall, and
penetrated almost half through its thickness
We heard several officers declare their belief, that
had the balls been made of iron instead of lead
they would have actually made breach through il
the wall is inches thick.
