A Sccne.-The dubious state Of the weather
on Saturday evening prevented the attendance

to gather here, on the last evening in the week,
to listen to the inspiring strains of the Marine
Band. But Notwithstanding this slight draw.

hour, (5 p. M.,) and performed u number OF
airs in very brilliant style, much to the edit.

the sun again shone forth, the auditors came
out from their various places Of shelter, and
the band once more resumed their places on
the stand, and recommended the performance
of the medley which had been SO abruptly
broken off, But, alas for all musical hopes,

glance at his epaulettes, aud once more made

Intercepted letters written by Secession
lists, members of the Maryland Legislature,
show that traitor members of that body form
ed an elaborate scheme for the passage of
secession ordinance, and attempt to inaugu-
rate rebellion in that State against the Gov

ing it alone saved the State the horrors of
civil war.

The Garden of Gethsemane, the scene of
the Savior's passion, is about the third of an
acre in extent, and surrounded by low wall.
The garden is planted with olives, almond

to pluck their leaves.

Certain ancient Judaic authorities say

Two pillars were then erected, one of stone

means all knowledge was not lost at the
flood, as one of these pillars remained and

TERRIBLE BONBsHELL-Thes success which
has attended the experiments made by Gen.
Butler at the Rip Raps with the Sawyer shell
entities it to distinction. 1t is an oblong iron
case, cylindrical for half its length, and con!
ical at the point, where it has purcussion
fuse which explodes it on striking. The ext
terror iron surface is coated with an alloy inl
tended to be so soft as not to abrade the
metal of the gun, and yet so hard as not to
be torn of and to clog the grooves. The al!
10y is put on so as to make the she'll ct thd
grooves accurately, and to give bearing Of
the projection on the shell against the groove3
of the gun for nearly two thirds of the length
of the shell. At the base of the shell, which
there has a beveled edge, has, when acted
upon by the powder, so much of the compo
sition upon the bevel upset as is necessary to
prevent the windage. At 2, 900 yards, out Of
twenty shots fired from nine FOUNDER, nine.
teen hit a target 20 by 40 feet, and out Of
forty shots by "a FOUNDER, thirty-one hit
the same target at the same distance. At an
elevation of thirty-fve degrees, a range Of
over four and half miles was attained. the
cartridge used containing but one half the
ordinary service charge of powder, or onct
eighth the weight of the projectile. The tart
get, four feet thick and eight feet long, was
made of live-oak seasoned logs, squared and
bolted together by inch bolts, held by screw
nuts A shell was fred from the distance of
$50 yards it struck in the centre, penetra-
ting about two feet and exploding, breaking
all the bolts and scattering the timbers over
space of fifty yards. A similar target, pla-
ted with half-inch wrought iron plate, was
treated in the same way, the penetration be-
ing only two inches less. 1t is claimed that
this shell can be made as cheap as the long
spherical shell.
