stands, a. there is very limited demand

a large number were engaged in it, but during the

extent that of the dealers were forced to aban

don't find it very profitable.

presented for the Amusement of those who frequent

widespread notoriety. Every Sunday morning the
most singular terpschorean feats were performed by

agility by subscriptions Of eeis founders and por-
gies. When the dancing was particularly good

been in the habit Of purchasing fish at the

years, and who feel . strong repugnance
to dealing anywhere else. As many as q thou

business is transacted with the exception Of Friday,

AN AMERICAN RIFLE FOR THE RUSSIAN
EMPERoR.-We were shown this morning
a most destructive. though simply CON
structed weapon of war, called Sharp's
patent breech-loading and self-priming ri
fle. 1t was made for the Emperor Nicho-
las. and the polished walnut stock is noun
ted with gold. The barrel and moving
part are of cast steel, and finished in a
style of excellence. To load the rifle,
which admits of but one charge at time,
the breech is opened by moving lever or
guard forward with the thmub, which fix
es the ball in its place the lever is remo-
we'd to its position, which closes the breech.
and cuts off the rear end of the cartrire.
exposing the powder to the fire which
communicate from the percussion cap
when discharged.
The rifle can be loaded and discharged
with astonishing rapidity, and the inven-
tor claims that with the quantity of pow.
der used by the United States muskets, it
will propel a ball with greater precision
and distance one half further than that
arm or any other rifle yet invented.
Similar rides have been made for the
French Commissioner, Earl of Ellesmere,
and Col. Stratton. of the British army in
India. An order has also been received
from the French minister at Washington,
TO construct rifle for Louis Napoleon.
