exhibition OF this most popular entertain
ment took place last evening in their great
Pavilion, located on Court. street, between
Race and Elm.
In the wbirl and excitement Of the pOpu-
lar mind consequent on the great events now
transactirg and the social arrangements
growing out Of them, public amusements
have been so completely lost sight Of that
we had feared our old friend would receive
but a sorry welcome, and were most agree
ably surprised on entering the vast tent to
find it filed TO it's utmost with as we'll
dressed, as orderly and apparently as merry
a crowd as ever greeted the peoples %favorite
in the piping times of peace.
The great original himself was as jovial
as ever, mingling wit, humor and philosophy
as pleasantly as in the olden time, and was
warmly a%pplauded.
The beautiful and graceful Zoyara, the
skillful acrobats, and the various trained
animals, each came in for their share of de-
served applause, and the crowd dispersed at
a late hour, highly pleased with their even.
ing's entertainment.
A NEW WAN WEAPON INVENTED BY OfK-
o~INNATIAN-The Steam gun Outdons-An In.
genious and Effective Implement Of Destrue-
tion.-Two young machinists, of this city,
Messrs. Gray & Root, have just given an.
other proof Of the inexhaustiblc inventive
resources of the North, and the ndaptability
of the people of that section to the circum-
stances in which they are placed, he they
what they may. When the interests of
peace demanded a cotton gin, a reaper, a
mower, or any other labor. saving machinery,
it was promptly furnished by Yankee inge-
nuity; and now that implements of war are
alone required, the demand, with equal
promptDess, brings forth the supply.
A model of the proposed gun has already
been furnished to and inspected by General
Mcclellan, and be is highly delighted with it,
asany ore must be who understands anything
Of the nature Of FIRE arms. 1t will consist OF
twelve Tor any number) ordinary gun. barrels,
Clone, two, or three ounce calibre, placed on
a revolving cylinder, behind which is some
simple rotary machinery, to which a crank
is attached, and SO constructed that at every
revolution one of the barrels of the gun Is
loaded and another discharged, so that the
only limit to the number Of shots fred per
minute is the capacity Of the manager to turn
the crank, which can easily be made 10 re.
volve three times per second.
The MIME cartridges are used, and placed
in a tube and adjusted by the machinery
The Maynaw primer is employed for igniting
the powder, and when one is consumed
another can be supplied in a few seconds.
1t is mounted on wheels, like a ield-piece
but is so light that it can be easily mauaget
ard pointed by a single person. In order t.
make it effe ctive three men will be required
one to adjust it, one to supply cartridges to
the tube, and a third to fire it. II any thug
should occur that it becomes necessary to
abandon it in the field, the crank can b.
taken off, and the screw battered, 80 tina
it con not be employed in pursuit. 1t will
thus be made as useless to the enemy as
spiked cannon.
The inventors, who areyoung, and withou
capital, propose to furnish one, on the plat
of the model exhibited, for $3.50, and insure
it to be effective; and there is little doubr
but the sum will be furnished Immediately
