Sqwibs at RoyqHy.-The English and Ger
man papers are discussing somewhat ungallantIy.
the Queens recent visit. Says the Times, 'it will
easily be conceived that young and beautiful
princess, whose grace and elegance are known to
all Europe, must have found herself entirely out
of place in that German society, where dizziness
and stiffness had become proverbial." A German
paper spunks up at this. retorts, "Victora is a
coquettish airish young woman, rather too free in
her manners, and too broad in her jokes - Next
comes from John Bulls boss editor another des-
cription, of the ridiculous, of antique sights and
society that amused or bored the laughter-loving
Queen. Whereupon the German twits Albert
with being under - government, and play
ing second fiddle to her Majesty says he dimes
on the wings of chicken and creme u la Uanit-
te. while she devours roast beef and pum-pudding,
that the man wears rules and his wife pantaloons!
He again sums up Victoria after this fashion : "In
Short she, little faxen haired woman, rides on
horseback like a curassier while he, stout bur-
ley lad, with moustaches, plays on the guitar like
a pater's daughter. The worthy couple diverted

left home to GO to the theatre, Unchanged his

ter he had retired to bed, his wife complained
of being very i'll, and begged him to get her
some brandy. Alarmed, the good man hasli-
ly dressed and hurried to the shop, where he
purchased the desired drink, and putting his
hand in his pocket took from it quarter of a

he was positive. The shopkeeper gave him
four dollars and seventy-iive cents in change
The peace was examined-it was half eagle.

I'm Engine for Harbor Dgence.-A New
York paper gives description of a new and
powerful engine for harbor defence, which is
said to be simply modification of the prlnci-
cipIe Of the sling, applied to machinery, in
connection with tube or gun, throwing ont
adscharge of thirty balls in minute, for hours
together. -.-.t -..:.--
"'Fhe machine is so constructed that putting
in at one end the balls to be discharged, ro-
-tary motion is produced by means of crank,
and, by few rapid revolutions, each ball re-
ceves a force and momentum equal to that
communicated by any quantity of gnnpowder.
When this has been done, a slide starts and
allows each ball to escape in succession from
the chamber into a tube, when they are thrown
to almost any distance, and with unnering aim.
The invention is MIR. M'Carty, a gentleman
connected with the Navy Yard at Brooklyn.
A number of experiments were recently made
with this new engine of destructian, by order
of the Government, and are said to have g ven
entire satisfaction to the distinguished persons
who witnessed them. On one occasion about
twenty pieces of solid timber were united to-
gether, forming one compact body. Against
this piece Of wooden breastwork, Mr.. M'Car-
ty opened the battery of his peace Of ordinance,
and in less than ten minutes the whole solid
breastwork was as. ~ demolished and shiv
cred to splinters, by the powerfu discharges
upon it,"
