ny Band at West Point, once so celebrat-
cd under the lead Of Willis, has been thor
oughly resuscitaied, and greatly increased

members, and that he considers it as fully
equal if not superior, to any OF the cele-

A ChaHenge.-The Albany correspon-
don't of the N. Y. Express, gives the fol-
lowing account Of challenge sen, by
by the notorious Sutherland, Of NAVY Is
land memory, to Mr.. CULVER. a member
OF the Legislature from Washington Gown
~.
A few days since, in debate on the Nc
Leod affair, Mr.. Culver took occasion TO
speak his sentiments fully with respect to
the cowardice and ill-conduct of leaders of
the self-styled patriots who invested Navy
Island in those days.-W hercupon Gen.
Sutherland, who happens to be in these
parts, sent him challenge! Mr., Culver,
who is able and willing TO fight on all prop
er occasions. and in proper manner, not
wishing TO put himself on par with this
man Of arms, handed him over 10 the police.
Southport telegraph. [volume] (Southport, W.T. [i.e. Kenosha, Wis.]) 1840-1850, 1841-05-25

Sutherland was thereupon arrested, ex-
amncd, and ordered to find bail or be COM
mittcd. The former he could not do, and
the latter was the only alternative. But,
Mr.. Culver having now seen his man. and
being satisfied from his chronological devel-
opments, that he would be in no danger
from such an assailent, and Oh having HIM
rccite with great emphasis the beggar's
petition, consented, to his free discharge.
Lucky fellow!-how frequently he escapes
the gallows, the prison, and the police!
He must be harmless man. Mr.. Culver
is man of great wit. and has great deal
of fun growing out Of this incident.

FOR ETGN NEWS

The steam ship Brtauia arrived ai Boston from
Liverpool on sbe 9th inst. The most important in
teiigence by this arrival Is that lie steamer Presi-

not reached Liverpool nor had any information with
respect to The fate Of she ship been Obtained. The

felt in England and all hopes to the safety of the
President were nearly extnguished. Sonearly was
all confidence destroyed that assurances could not be
effected on the vessel under 80 per cent! Every

every intermediate island or coast, to which the Pre-

the two countries hereafter to be conducted upon an
equal footing,
Great dissatisfaction is manifested in England. es-
pecialiy among the mercantile classes who are d.
rectly interested in the China trade. Meetings have
been held and a remonstrance sent 10 Parliament,
praying noncompliance with the treaty ofC aptain
Elliot The ground Of com plant of The remonstrants

in gross cupidty-the merchants supposing the stip

PaiGhans Guns The ingenuity Of
men has been cruelty taxed for several
years past, in improving and nventing
engines Of destruction. We wish it was
directed to worther oblect--one which
would improve the nature of civilized man
and notintend to degrade him to level
with the savage or the brute. We find in
a late number Of the New York Journal
Of Commerce, the following description Of
these terrible instruments of war invented
by Mr.. Paixhuns, and called Paixhans
Guns:
''lt il found that, without increasing the
weight Of the guns, or the difficulty Of
managing them, hollo'o projectles, Of any
calibre, can be fred with terrific effect,
and bOmb. cannon, of tremendous size, NAV
be used on ship board, so as to throw a large
bomb horizontally, with as sure an aim as
the solid shot Of an ordinary cannon.
Large bomb, even of the calibre Of one
hundred and fifty or two hundred pounds,
are fired on ship-board, from stationary
batteries, with the force and precision of
cannon bali. No structures, either OF stone
or wood, can ress: such artillery. The
terrible efficiency Of this arm (the Paxhan
cannon,) was witnessed at Beyoot, St.
Jean D'Acre, and at San JuaA dc Ulloa.-
Mr.. Faixhans, in his work on "new mari.
time artillery" says, in regard to the de-
Etructive effects Of these bombs on vessels
- When thrown horizontally, they will
crush, tear 10 peices, and tear open, tho
side Of the vessel, with a terrible shock.
If they remain in the side, their explosion
acting like mine, will open large brea-
ches, the irregular fractures of which ex-
tending below the water line, will make a
passage, through which the water will
rush in, as though dyke was suddenly
broken. If a bomb should enter a mast, it
would overturn it; together with its yards,
top and rigging. Should the bomb pass
entirely through the ships side, then it will
produce its effects between the decks, in
the midst Of the combatants: the artillery
and ammunition; and they will scatter show
ers Of iron, and insupportable showers of
smoke and flame, they will complete civ
destroy any fabric Of wood, much more
easily than one of stone: they will rip up
the deck, set every thing on fire, and
cause dreadful ravages every where. AS
ii all Of this was not enough, each bomb
contains German composition, OF the at
tractve name of Ddmpfklugeln, used TO
poison the galleries of mines, aud rs an
able reviewer Of this subject tells, is truly
a pestilental concreton of vapors, render
ing ship unnhabitable.
alt is enough to damp the ardor of the
Hottest chiyalry TO contemplate this last
'nOuritle drmc;'-and nothing an be better
calculated to bring war into disropute. In
truth, however, all improvements in the
art OF war, lessen its destructiveness and
frequency"
