Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, Va. [W. Va.]) 1852-1859, 1859-04-09

A LONDON correspondent of the New York
Commercial. 1drertiser writes that the defensive
preparations of England continue to be carried
forward with vigor, but the Armstrong gun
throws all calculations into perplcxity. The
facts that it has already been shown to be
thoroughly efficient at distance of between five
and six miles, and that larger specimens are now
being manufactured which are expected to pos
scss much more extensive range, seem to para.
Iyze all reliance on old systems of Notifications,
and TO forbid, as waste of money, every further
expenditure in such directions. Another inven-
ton by an official in the London dockyards, for
shell that explodes at the slightest contact, and
is constructed to throw liquid FIRE over the rig
giug of vessels at extraordinary distances, is
attracting also great attention. 1t seems as if
in case of war with France, the channel would
be no bar to operations, and that Dover and Ca.
lAis may lombard each other at pleasure.

TnE Telegraph Agent of the Associated Press
is determined that VIC shall have no cause for
complaint that enough of the Sickles trial is
not sent over the wires. He sends US last night
the follow ing description of the appearance oi
some of the Counsel engaged:
wAsHIxGTox, April s.-The District Attor-
ney made good impression in his opening
address His opponents think, however, that
he took too much pains in dressing up the sub
iect and that his duty would have been better
nerformed by simple statement OF the facts pt
the killing, without having resource to any or
nnments Of eloauence. He seemed to anticipate
the theory of defense and strove to Impress on
the Jury that there could be no legal justhca-
t;on of The act and that if justification to be
set up was legal they should require 1t to be
legally proved. Mr.. Ould is fine, square built,
athletic man of some forty y ars OF age, Win
eyes small and grey, though without the express
sion of kecuness, usually attributed to such OPP
tics, broad forehead, straight, black hair and
rather pleasant expression Of countenanee his
colleague, Mr. Carlisle, possesses more OF the
qualities usually associated with the idea oil
legal practitioners; small, wiry and restleSsly
aciive. nothing escapes his attention and the
defense seem TO realize that they have moro
difficulty to expect from him than from
the government prosecutor; his voice, ike
his person. is thin and wiry, but his man
ner and style are nevertheless pleasant
On Mr.. Brady, of n. Y, rests most of the labor
Of the defense. Studiously polite to the judge
jury, counsel and witnesses, he seems to have
more faith in suayity than in clustering. Tho
counsel who, next to him, seem to be most re-
lied on for the defence, is Mr. Stanton. This
gentleman is in cSnstant communication with
the prisoner, and sits and stands beside him
most of the time What Mr.. Brady lavishes in
the suavity, Mr.. Stanton makes up in the torti.
liter. There nre no ceremonies about him. He
comes up to the point with sledge hammer
earnestness which stands out in contrast to his
colleagues extreme politencss He is man
Just little beyond the middle nge of life, but
with all the vigor of one of thirty. He talks
with rapid Iutterance and great vehemence,
though the reporters say he might improve his
argument by diminishing his words and iuency.
As for Judge Crawford, before whom the case is
heard, he seems TO have SO far agreeably disap-
pointed the expectations of the defense, except
in matters of the coping up of the prisoner
His decisions have been marked by fairness and
impartiality. He is evidently an old gentleman
