HE BEECHER SCANDAL.-M MIR. THEODORE
IILroN has al last broken his long silence,
and published heightened explanation of
his relations TO the Rev. HENRY WARD
BEECHER, to Plymouth Church, aud to the
notorious scandal which has so long shocked
and disturbed the public mind. The prin-
cipal feature Of Mr.. TILToN's statement is
the following extrac. from an alleged con.
fession made by Mr.. BEECnER:

Mr.. Triton should have said more or he
should have continued to hold his tongue.

signed by Mr.. BEECuER contain ? What
does it refer toY Why did Mr.. BEEcHER

give? How would the Que have been a
better man in the same circumstances than
the otherl Why does Mr. BEEcHER wish
that he were dead Add was this document
really written by Mr.. BEEcnER with his
name signed to it by bis own hand
These questions suggest themselves to

lilly arranged table, the velocity of the ball


is learned. Afa
The method of ascertaining the pressure
exerted by the gases generated by the gun
powder is also very simple. For this pur-
pose the Rodman pressure guage is used.
It is small iron cylinder, containing disk
of copper, a wedged-shaped knife, an iron
disk resting upon the rectangular base of
the knife and small piston, which reaches
almost through the head of the cylinder.
The space between the top of this piston
and the level of the cylinders head is fill
ed with copper cap called ''gas check,
which is filled with cotton waste. The
convex part of the check is placed on the
piston. The gauge is put into the cartridge,
below the powder. The gases press down
the piston upon the iron disk, which, press
ing in turn upon the base Of the knife
causes that instrument to indent the cop,
per disk. From the depth and width OF
the cut in the copper the force of theepr
sure is estimated by means of carefully ar
ranged tables. r-.--

The powder used is Dupont hexagonal,
whose pellets are about the size of chest
nuts the projeetilas are conical balls, with
expansive breeches, the invention of Capt
Butler, of the board. These projecties
are so made that the pressure forces their
breeches to take impressions of the rifing
of the gun, and the gyratory motion thus
impaired to them prevents them from
"wabblng," or going sideways against their
object. H., g

horses to their speed, and on turning to
look at the man she had robbed hac the
pleasure of perceiving that her mysterl-
Gus threat had taken effect, and he was
now pursuing his way back to Belford
Miss Cochrane speedily entered the
wood to which she had alluded, and ty-
ing the strange horse to tree, out of all
observation from the road, proceeded 10
unfasten the straps of the mail. BY
means of sharp penknife, which set at
defiance the appended locks, she was
soon mistress of the contents, and with
an eager hand broke open the Govern
ment dispatches, which were unerringly
pointed out to her by their address TO
the Council in Edinburgh and their i'm
posing weight and broad seals OF office.
Here She found not only the fatal war
rant for her fathers death but also many
other sentences infiicting different de-
grees of punishment on various delln-
auents. These, however, it may readily
be supposed, she did not then stop to
examine: she contented herself with
tearing them into small fragments and
placing them carefully in her bosom.
The intrepid girl now mounted her
stced and rode of, leaving all the private
papers where she had found them, mag
lining (what eventually proved the easel
that they would be discovered ere long,
from the hints she had thrown out about
the wood, and thus reach their proper
places of destination. She now made
all haste to reach the cottage OF her
nurse, where, having committed to the
flames not only the fragments OF the
dreaded warrant but also the other OBJ
poy;ous paDers she uuickly resumed her
female garments, and was again, after
this manly and daring action, the simple
and unassuming Miss Grisell Cochrane.
Leaving the cloak and pistols behind her
to be concealed by her nurse, she again
mounted her horse, and directed her
flight to Edinburgh, and by avoiding as
much as possible the high-road and rest
ing at sequestered cottages, as she had
done before, and that only twice for a
couple of hours each time, she reached
town early in the morning of the next
day.
The time gained by the heroic act re-
lated above was productive OF the end for
which it was undertaken, and Sir John
Cochrane was pardoned at the instiga-
ton of the Kings favorite counselor, who
interceded for him in consequence OF re-
ceiving a bride of five thousand pounds
from the Earl of Dundonald. Miss
Cochrane afterward married Mr.. Ker, OF
Morriston, in the county of Berwick, and
there can be little doubt that she proved
equally affectionate and amiable as a
wife as she had already been dutiful and
devoted as q daughter. Sir John Coch-
rane succeeded as second Earl of Dun
