A NEW FIRKARM-lt is known that the
inertia OF the ball In masket causes a certain
time 10 elapse after the explosion of the
powder before the ball is set in notion A
certain amount of the explosive force of the
powder, therefore, is wasted, and the more
rapid the explosion the greater the loss from
this cause. To obviate this, an artisan OF
Liege mas invented a new breech loader in
which the force Of the charge is first commu-
nicated to an elastic body, which is easily
set In motion, and the force which, in ordi.
nary cases, Is wasted, but in this is stored
up, is gradually comm unicated TO the bali.
after IL has begun to move. The charge is
iSnited by needle, the explosion commencing
at the end next the ball, but between the latter
and the gunpowder are placed five pads of
felt those next the ball having been for the
sake OF 1ubrication, moistened with a fatty
m after. This arrangements altogether chan YES
the nature OF the explosion. A white smoke
escapes from the muzzle instead OF the name.
and the penetrative effect Of the ball is M uc CHI
greater Than that of a ball from an ORDINARY
musket. II the pads are moved, the force Of
the recoil OF the weapon is proportioaatsly in
creased

ATRooIoUs BARBAHIrIKs OF THE Turks IN
CANDIA.-We read in a recent number of the
Avenir National -" Some time ago. il will be
remembered, the English steamer Assurance
received on board some children, women and
old men Of Selinos. The captain OF the shin
promised TO return in a week and take those
who wished 10 find shelter from the barbarity
OF the Turks. A few days after ward a frigats
without colors appeared, sure enough, on the
horizon; the fugitives rushed to the sea shore
When she had approached near enough TO
land, the frgate launched a long boat, over
which waved the English flag; the shore was
crowded with Christians, who had fastened
forth at sight of this signal of safety. At the
same moment the vessel displayed the Otto
man flag, and discharged all her guns upon
this unarmed crowd. This incredible act of
barbarity is attested by one OF the principal
papers Of Greece, the Hermapolis, printed at
syria; the committee of that to wn recei we'd the
news In letter, dated the Sth Goth December
addressed TO IL in the name of the general as
sembly OF the Cretans. According to this let
ter, the number OF victims was considerable
Before such fact the heart throbs with indie-
nation; public opinion claims satisfaction: the
rights Of humanity must be avenged and n
ought to be known whether the com mander of
the Turkish frigate obeyed the ferocious in
stincts OF his race or the instructions of his
Government"
