SINCE tho siege Of Sebustopol, the Gov
ment Of Great Britain has expended over
$l2,0O0,0O0 in experiments with wrought
iron and steel, at the Royal Arsenals, at
Woowich, and ElswiCE and Of three thou
sand Armstrong guns produced, not ono,
according to the testimony OF Sir William
Armstrong, has yet burst e1plosiyoly.-
Whitworth has also had some success in
the production Of forged iron guns, al
though his method is defectiye and Blake
" in England, and Krupp in Belgium, are
now manufacturing superior ordnance
from steel. The advantages OF wrouBh!
iron over cast iron, consist in its greater
tenocity, elasticity and ductility, which it
preserves under heavy pressure. All gun
metals are said to posses, a certain degree
Of elasticity; but the "clostic limit" in
rapid firing, is always Liable to be exceed
ed, and when this happens, cast iron, from
It's want Of HoXibility, easily cracks ana
crumhIc5. In other words, after the limit
Of its elasticity is overcome, any violent
shock or sudden strain causes the gun to
give way at once, and explode without
warning; while gun properly made OF
wrought iron, under similar circumston-
cos, would oaly widen little, and still bo
/ further from the pont Of bursting than ii
was before. Tho tonsilo strength OF
wrought iron, is over SiGty-six thousand
mounds to the inch while that Of the best
cas-. iron, is only about thirty thousand
pounds per inch, According to MRllot one
OF the best English authorities, it will re-
ouirs, of any force in motion, above iifty
times tho effort to rupture given section
and length of ductio wrought iron than
will rupture the best and toughest steel.

and eyentful siege, was that on the Sth OF
September, 1855, the French had, at
great cost Of life and labor, pushed their
approaches to the distance Of thirty-twO
PAGES from the coun.crscarp of the Mala-
kof, and not quite so near the other works.
rho English, meanwhile, had scarcely
reached within 22j yards Of the ditch Of
the Redan,
On that day tho assault was made at
noon, upon at least six points.
The failure of the English assault may
be attributed partly to the fact that thiV
advanced trenches were too small to ac-
commodsts the requisite force without
confusion, in part to their not being push
cd sufficiently near the Rodan, but chiefly
to that total absence Of conduct and skill
in the arrangements for the assault, which
left the storming party entirely without
support, Had it been followed at once by
strong reinforcemcntI, it is almost certain
that tho English would have retained pos
session Of tho work.
The two French attacks on the west OF
the central ravino were properly intended
only aS FONTS; At all events, the parties
engaged were soon driven back to their
trenches with considerable lose, and ef.
fected nothing, Thoir attempts upon the
Little Redan, and tho works connecting il
with the Malnkoif, mot with even less sue
c.ss than the English assault, Tho Rus
SLAMS rtpulscd tho French with great less,
meeting with tho bsyonct the more ad-
ysn.urous men who reached tho parsp't.
Thus, in five points out OF siI, the delsu
d'rs were fully victorious, but, untorIu-
n.tey for them, the sixth was tho decisive
point.
In their admirable arrangements for tho
attack Of the MalakoA, the Frcnch counted
on two things for success; first, they had
asc.rained the Russians were 10 the habit
Of relieving the guard Of the MaIakoH NJ
noon, and that greater part OF the old
guard marched out before the new one ar
rived, in order to avoid the loss which
would arise from crowiinc the work with

California Made Locomotives.

A new feature in our home manufac-
lures is about to be inaugurated. Dona-
hue, Booth s. Co., proprletors Of the Union
Foundry, in this city, have contracted to
build two tirst-class locomotives for the
San Francisco and San Jose Railroad
Company. They are to weigh twenty
eight tons apiece, and will have sixteen
inch cylinders, with twenty-four inch
stroke, and five feet driving wheels. They
will be frst-class locomotives in every
respect, in style and finish, and will be
capable of hauling from thirty-five to forty
freight cars on an ordinary road. Every
thing will be manufactured in this city.
except the tires and hues, which will be
sent across the Isthmus from the East.
One of the engines will be finished on the
first day of June, and the other on the
first of July next. These will be the first
regular locomotives made on the Pacific
coast. They will be built under the d.
rection of Mr.. r. B. Bishop, master me-
chanic of the San Francisco and San Jose
Railroad. We understand that Messrs.
Donahue, Booth s Co. are making ex-
tensive preparations for this kind of work.
We have here a new and profitable feature
added to the manufacturing enterprise Of
San Francisco. The rapid construction
of railroads in this State will soon create
demand for locomotives, and we trust
this initiatory attempt to furnish them
from our own shops will demonstrate the
fact that San Francisco mechanics can
turn out as perfect work in this line as can
the mechanics of any other city or place
in the Union.
We understand that the San Francisco
and San Jose Railroad Company have
now in store in this city all the tools and
machinery requisite for establishing first
class machine shop. This machinery will
soon be set up, so as to enable the COM
pany to manufacture their own cars and
do all their own repairing. The company
has now temporary shop at the Mission.
where they have constructed the wood
work of some ten passenger cars and all
the freight cars, the iron work being
brought from the East. When their new
shop is up they will be able to furnish
their own iron as well as wood work.

manship might have reconciled, have, un-
der the counsels of mad ambition to dis
turb the peace Of all the world, hardened
to enduring antagonism.
The Enquirer, Of January 2lst congrat-
ulates its readers and the country on the
restoration of General Johnston to the
command of the Armies OF the West.
The same paper says: If Cox's resolution
can't find favor with Republican House
of Representatives no Confederate can
hope for any terms other than ignomlnious
surrender. Let peace slide, and let us
turn our whole attention to war. The
negroes recommended by the President
have not been provided. Will not Con-
gress Immediately take action and secure
100000 The enemy will not offer US any
terms other than those of submission as
long as they have the prestige Of success.
If we would have peace, we must tirst
gain victories; the army must have more
men. and new and better organization.
The Richmond Examiner has long edl-
torial on the peace movement. 1t argues
that there is no use talking about negotla-
tions and terms. There are now two
courses possible to be pursued-one is the
prosecution Of the war to successful
termination, and the other is abandonment
of the contest and unconditional surren-
der, which requires no negotiations.
BInir's Mission UnomciaI-The Rebel
Desire for Pence OVerrRted.
New York, January 25.-The Times
Washington special dispatch says it is now
generally understood that Blair did not 90
in any sense as the representative of the
Government to Richmond, and that he is
not authorized to encourage the hope that
any overtures of peace will be made or
accepted which look, however remotely,
to division of the Union nor is it be-
lieved that the rebels are yet prepared to
treat on any other terms. The popular
sentiment has overrated the desire of the
rebels for peace. ..
Conciliatory Measures Of the Cana
| dian Authorities.
The Government has been assured that
the Canadian authorities have determined
to remove all causes of dissatisfaction on
the part of this country, growing out OF
the recent occurrences. Judge Coursol
will be removed. This will probably lead
to speedy abrogation of the passport
system. ........
Naval Expedition to the Rear OF Mo-
| bile.
New York, January 25.-By the At
lanta, from Mobile, it is reported that a
formidable expedition had left Forts Nor
gan and Gaines and gone up the Esca-
tawpa river, branch of the Pascagoula,
to take position in the rear of Mobile,
thus placing the, city partly at the mercy
of our troops. The river was found to be
navigable. And its occupation cannot
fail to render the city easy of capture.

satisfaction with the rebel government in

THE CANADIAN BORDER.

The Washington correspondent of the
Aka says that bad feeling exists on the
United States northern border, and but
little more provocation would lead to open
hostilitieS, for the authorities of the British
Provinces have behaved outrageously Of
late relative to the rebel raiders, who, af-
ter invading our country, and numbering
and robbing our citizens, have been taken
into custody under the form of law, but
discharged on mere bubble, and in total
disregard of the Extradition Treaty be-
tween the. Governments of Great Britain
and Ireland and the United States. Major
General Dix, commanding the Eastern
Department, last week issued an order to
pursue such raiders, even into the British
Provinces, but the President has disap-
proved of this, and it is supposed will
present strong remonstrance and protest
against suffering the British Provinces to
be made great rebel camp, from which
murderers, incendiaries and robbers may
issue at pleasure, and, after committing
their infamous crimes, retire again to the
protection of British sympathizers. There
is no doubt that hundred thousand men
the greater part Irishmen, who have
cold scores to settle with England
could soon be mustered to invade the
Provinces; but it is hoped this danger
may be averted, especially at this time,
when the civil war in our country is in
progress.

Important Change In eur Military
Departments. at..

DepaFtmemDs @ .'..
For some time past it has been evident
that a change in the administration Of
military affairs west of the Rocky Noun
tains was matter of absolute necessity,
the inconvenience and disadvantages Of
the arrangement whereby Arizona was
constituted portion of the Military De-
partment of New Mexico, while the troops
for the garrisoning of the posts in that
territory were raised in the Department OF
the Pacific, and supplied from this port,
and her mines were being worked, her
vast resources developed, and her valleys
settled up with San Francisco capital and
immigrants from the Pacific States exclu-
sively, being too obvious to require COM
ment. Efforts have of late been made to
have the evil remedied, and we are pleased
at last to be able to announce that they
have been successful. A dispatch from
the War Department, dated on Mon
day last has been received by General
Mcdowell, announcing the gratifying fact
that the Territory of Arizona had been de-
tached from the Department Of New
Mexico and attached 10 that Of the Pacific,
where it rightfully belongs. Communities
ton with all parts of Arizona, uia Califor-
MIA, is more direct and immediate than via
New Mexico, and many evils and incon-
veniences under which the territory has Ia
bored for the past three years, will now be
remedied. With the projected opening of
mail routes, the establishment Of perma-
nent steamboat lines ON the Colorado and
the connection of the military administra-
ton of the Territory with this department,
a brighter future is awaiting that as yet al
most unknown land, and the time il not
far distant when new star will be added
to the constellation In our banner, ana
another sovereign State VIII enter the.
Union.-Ako, Jan. "a.

Crime i'm New York.

Crime was never more general and never
more daring than now. The incendiary,
the burglar, the highwayman, go to their
work in bands. There are times when it
seems as if the city would be laid in
ashes. Children ripen at an early age,
and commence their career of crime before
they graduate from the primary school.
Most Of our street walkers are children
from twelve to sixteen. They go from
the towns, cities and villages, nightly, to
their destructive employ. They can be
seen landing from the various boats, on
the edge of the evening, in shoals, onward
toward their place Of operation, as readily
as the newsboys can be seen in the early
morning. Shirt factories, binderies, whole
sale tailoring establishments, contain
thousands of young girls who work
through the day and are street-walkers at
night.
lager beer gardens, are filled with the
same class. Highway robbery is as COM
mon as pickpockets. Daring robberies on
the edge of the evening, in the vicinity of
our great hotels, are common. Day
gambling houses are increasing at fear
full rate. They are in the proximity of
stock spectators they. are near the mart
of dealers in gold. and throw their doors
wide open to men maddened by defeat
and wine. They are not only near the
immense wholesale establishments, where
great number of clerks are employed,
but are often IN the same buildings.
Floors are taken, boarded and sealed, to
afford secrecy, windows closed to shut out
the light Of day and prying eyes; gas
lighted rooms elegantly furnished =
tables loaded with luxuries and wine, free
to all.
Here fathers, husbands and sons, are
found-elerks on their way to the banks
or Custom House-young men out ito
lunch"-are enticed here they gamble
and fling away money, reputation and
soul. The number of these institutions,
increasing daily, shows how profitable
they are, and how well patronized. The
softening Of the brain, disease now so
common among business men in New
York-the sudden commercial revolutions
-the ruin Of so many attributed to bad
speculations or business reyerses, have
more connection with these day gambling
establishments than the world knows Of.
Alas for the rising generation in our
great city.-N. 7. Paper.

INSTANTLY SHUT UP!-Alderman Cory
ell, who is President of the Virginia Board
of city swindlers, wen: down to San
Francisco few days ago. Belonging to
the Aldermanic Board. his bad reputation
had preceded him, and the steamer from
Sacramento had no sooner touched the
wharf, than the U. S. Mint closed its
doors, and never opened until he left the
city. Even the Hotels were declared
full" "full," when Aleck applied for
lodgings. Being an Alderman of Viz
ginia city," can hardly be considered a
pass to respectable society. Even Mayor
Murray complained to US Yesterday that
his office was running his standing in So
ciety and as a member of the church. We
pity Murray and we pity Coryell. This
is their reward for holding office in
Virginia.

CONE Down TO SrEcIE.-The people of
Texas-so say letters of recent date, re-
eeived in this city from the Lone Star
State-have at last got to doing business
once more on a specie basis. There was
a time when they swore by Confederate
scrip, and would have nothing else; but
after it got so low that man who paid
ferriage on it across Red River, found
himself in debt when he got to the south
ern bank of the stream, the people turned
their backs on it and concluded to take
specie once more, even if it did have the
words limited States of America" on 1t.
They seem to have some cents left yet.
