Thh Nsv. gentleman, who has lately fcturusd
from tho missionary station at Maulmen, in the
Burman Empire, preached yesterday afternoon
in the South Baptist Church, Nassau street. We
expected to hear from him an account of the state
Of the missions and of his missionary lasors IN
that remote region, but in this we were disaP-
pointed-he merely alluded to both very slightly
at the conclusion of his sermon. He took as his
text the 9Th verse of the l4h chapter of ST. Pauls

MAJOR RrNcGoLp.-lt is with profound regret
that we learn the death Of this gallant soldier, from
wounds rec eived in the action Of the 7th instant,
between our troops and the Mexicans. Never was
a gun fired over the grave of better soldier. He
commanded troop of flying artillery, which, for
discipline and courge, is not exceled by any in
the world. Indeed, we doubt if there is such ano-
Their disciplined troop in any service. We have
seen them under the command Of their gallant
and Inflated commander, perform feats of rapid
and soldierly manDuvering, that, until then, we
had thought utterly impossible. The troop is COM
posed Of picked men, (mostly Irishmen,) and the
horses are all prime, and as well trained as their
Z dsrs.
Major Ringgold had submitted himself, in his
youth, to a severe and arduous course Of study
and discipline. He visited all the military schools
Of any note in Europe. He studied at the Poll
technique, nt Woolwich, and other similar military
institutions, after graduating at West Point, and
thus made himself contplete master Of the most
approved systems Of tactics praetised in Europe.
He had infused his own, spirit into the men under
his command, who Low cd him as a father; and so
well were they discipli ned, that they moved like
a solid wedge and wi III the rapidity Of falcon
sweeping on his prey. Wherever they wore
brought to bear on II 70 Mexican force their pieces
must have done fea rfnl execution.
We hope Congre o will take proper steps to do
honor to the meme ny of Major Ringgold, as well
as to that Of the 9th brave fellows who have died
nobiy in the cause of their country. Pcacs 10
their ashes!

Gent Letu examine briefly some ofthe conditions
to be fulfilled. The enclosing wheel or rim, in
the direction of its tangents, must be everywhere
as strong the gum in order to resist the centru
gal force of the ball; and this would make the
engine ponderous. That the projectle may re-
ceive the same velocity which is generated by gun
powder, the number of revolutions in a given
time required of the moving arm or wheel, will
pose it to be ten feet, and we wish to impart a
velocity of 1000 feet per secondhand Of q cannon

disclosing the system practc-d by some persons
either attached TO the newspaper press Or fonow-
ing upon the outskirts of musical criticisms has
lately been made The discovery was stumbled
upon by one ofour law reporters IN looking over
the catalogue of curious upon the records of
the Superior Court of this city. We have already
exhibited the singular and strange attempts made
upon Mr.. Tempeton, by an attache Of an evening
paper ofthis city. That, however, was but fifty
dollar affair, and could not create such astonish-
ment in the public mind as a full devslopc-
ment of the general practices of general agent
of black mail must excite ,ssvhen fully shown up.
1t seems that when Mr.. Templeton arrived in
this city, he was taken in hand by well known
hair-dresser in Broadway, named v. Crehugh,
who enjoyed distinguished reputation in his pro-
fession of hair-cutting and making washes, and
who also was ct the same time ambitious Of at
tanning the reputation Of classic wig-Tnaker, and
vocalist of the third or fourth magnitude. As
regards his professional qualifications as
hair-dresser we have nothing to do; we think
them, indeed, of the first order; but yet we
prefer the high quality, distinguished genius, and
mighty originality in the profession OF barber,
which are indicated by Jim Grant of Ann street,

cutting in the best of style and with the most cas-

Templeton in this city, last year,by accident
Or other he got himself into the hands Of Mr. Clre-
hugh. Whether he was attracted by his profess
sionai qualifications a. wig maker, or by the
power of mesmerism, we do not know but ut all
events, Clirehugh took upon himself the manage
ment of number of things connected with the
debut of Mr.. Templeton in this city This man
has now brought an action in the Supreme court
against Mr.. Templeton, for these pretended serv-
ces during his two first concerts; and he charges
for these services in his bill ofparticulars the sum
fone thousand six hundred and two dollars, and
fifty cents The bill itself discloses the most rc-
markable and curious facts in the practice Of mu-
steal criticism and newspaper reporting, such
aswe never thought could have existed, and which
no man could have thought to exist until this le-
gal document established it beyond the possibility
of doubt

WASHINGTON, thursday, \ l.. NJ.
The proceedings in Congress were as follows
In the Senate the committees reported several
bills, among others bill for free bridge across
the Potomac, at the Navy Yard.
Mr. Brcese introduced bill to repeal the pro-
vision in the navy appropriation bill of last year,
limiting the naval force 10 800 men. An interest
ing Discussion then ensued, and the bill was re-
ierred to the Committee on Naval Affairs
Bills from the House were then taken up and
referred.
The bill in relation to the Florida judiciary and
the New Hampshire claims for military services,
were passed, the latter % ayes TO IA noes.
The French spoliation bill was further postpon-
ed till Monday.
The amendments of the House to the bill rails
ing corps of sappers and miners were concurred

Mr.. Archer's motion to reconsider the vote by
which the Senate disagreed To the amendments Of
the House III regard to the amendments of the bill
for regimentof mounted riflcmen, was laid aside
for enquiry.
The bill authorizing the appointment of one pay
master and three assistant paymasters, is under
discussion as we close the despatch
The West Point bill was finally passed
In the House, n motion to reduce the mileage

priation bill was then taken up-a partizan dis
cussion of more spirit than utility, ensued. In
this, Mr.. Sherman, of Ohio, attempted to reply to
Mr. Delano, but with no great effect. Mr.. Sims,
of Missouri followed, and made a rough but strong
characteristic harangue in defence of the admin
istraton-Hon. Garrett Davis pushing back the
imputations cast on those who do not approve of
all Mr.. Polk has done in the. Mexican business
He referred to the Presidents usurping power
and embroiling the nation in war while Congress
is in session, and without submitting the subject
to that body, which alone has full authority over
the matter.
