The great superiority OF the Frussfan nee
die gun over the Austrian arms during the
recent battles in Bohcmia has caused extra
ordinary excitement both in civil and MILL
tary circles. This arm has not only gained
victory for the Prussians but WILL create
revolution in warfare equal to that effected
by our Monitors and improved ordnance. A
brief description Of this gun therefore will
prove Of interest to onr readers. During the
Crimean war, military commission viaited
the various European military establishments
and in their reports submitted to Congress,
frequent reference Is made TO the needle gun.
From these reports We summarize the follow
ing facts:
The inventor Of the present Prna.lan needle
gun Is N. Dreyse, Manufacturer of arms
at Sommerda. In 1885 be sought to attain
the advantage Of facility Of loading by clos
inE the brcerh with two screws behind each
other, having space between them. In this
space spiral spring carried needle, work
ing through the middle of the inner screw,
which penetrated the illuminate Of the car
fridge and caused the charge TO ignite.
Al first the cartridges were inserted at the
muzzlc, which exposed the cartridge to pre-
mature explosion bS ramuling it too hard, or
by contact with the needle when it projects
bcyond the screw. 1t also rendered m In
crease OF windage necessary to secure easy
loading. which prevented the ball from taking
sufficient hold On the sides Of the bore.
These objections induced the inventor to
insert the cartridge at the breech, as was
done In Norway, and out Of this arose the In
nous necdle-gun. The cartridge Is now In.
serted in the rear. The ignition Is produced
by the penetration Of the needle into the tul-
inmate attached to the cartridge. and the
cloaing Of the open barrel is effected BY thu
fitting Of the front end Of the chamber to the
rear Of the barrel. These are the general
features of the gun. The intricate details OF
the mechanism by which the cartridge tits In
the chamber, and the needle Is worked by the
screw, would hardly be comprehcnded BY the
reader without q diagram. :
The barrel, the rihed part Of which il 36.e6
inches long, has calib1e Of 0.6o6 inches with
four grooves, having q twist of dTe-e1eFenths
In the length Of the barrel, or m inclination
| Of s. degrees, 6 minutes and II seconds. The
breadth OF these Is 0.2243 inch and their depth
| COS inch. The untifled portion ut the rear
forms the chamber or bed for the cartridge,
the diameter OF which is 069 inch and the
length nearly the same as that Of the car
fridge. The bed Of The cartridge enlarges
some to the rear SO rs te admit 1t easily after
repeated discharges. The rear Of the barrel
! externally terminates conically and Is called
the mouth piece Of the barrel.

DIRECT TRADE WITH EUROPE.

DIRECT TRADE WITH EUROPE.
A few days since we recorded the arrival in
this port Of the brig Vidar, direct from Nor
way, with cargo Of fish and yesterday tue
schooner saranae, from London, England,
quietly sailed up the river, with cargo, con-
eisting Of chalk, whiting, aud coal. The
coal is for the Bruce Mines, Lake Superior,
but the balance Of the cargo IS for our own
merchants As soon as the chalk aud whit
ing Is discharged, the saranac will proceed to
Lake Superior, where she will discharge the
coal, and take on 3 cargo Of copper, with
which she will return to England.
Although these arrivals from European
ports, indicate but small venture, they arc
quite important in commercial sense. Ow-
ing to the insufnclency OF the Canadian
Canals. none but small vessels can come up
the st. Lawrence Ryer; and the mere fact
that even those attempt the voyage, is proof
that were the means OF communication en-
lareed, the direct European trade would be.
come prominent feature Of our commerce.

After brilliant struggle, lasting over five
hours, In which the whole army as we'll as The

Of the position vas therefors impossible.
The enemy were thereby enabled to advance
