      Ip The Spirit , or a Dream in the Woodlands . Up A Poem . By Wuixur Jones . London : H | John Chapman , Strand . Leicester : H ? Joseph . Ayer . pi 2 he greater part of this Poem -was vnitten !§ ( during the dreadful commercial crisis of j | 184 f-48 , when the Author ( like hundreds of f | i Iiis fellow-townsmen ) , was reduced to starve or IP submit to the body-and-soul-killing slavery of ff | , the stone yard and Bastile mill—the tests of Hf . jpauperism in Leicester . Preferring to encotrafeter the pinches of want rather than the " Sk Lratalitv of the Poor Law officials . Mr . Jones

      . tjpjetook himself to the woods , and there con-S | ceived the production before us . He acknow-^ Iriledges it is but f" -a dream-lay : tuned by noteless bard , rWhen times late darkened and men ' s hearts were sm ; ' hard , lllRKTFo soothe his own and fellow-sufferers' throe—•^^ For there is balm in poesy for woe ! ^ g'Twa ' s empty comfort , but he could no more , ifpTor he like them , was unemployed and poor ; !

      national burden , which , to a superficial observer , might appear to be a heavy drawback on our exertions , has really been the means of adding to their efficiency . Had they been oppressive tneir operations , no doubt , would have been very different ; but it was seen that they might be met by increased exertions , and these " have been made * they have , in fact , operated on the public like an increase of the necessary expenses of his family on a private individual , and occasioned efforts of industry , economy , and invention that have more than countervailed their influence , and which we should have in vain attempted to produce by any less powerful means . " Could cool official audacity say more ? Onr national debt , pension list , civil . i „ S

      military expenditure are all blessings . Burdens on industry and individual prosperity are related as cause and effect , and our benevolent , philanthropic legislators , being brimful of affectionate regards for our welfare , tax us for our good ; how happy , too , is the illustration . I wonder if Mr . M'Cullocb has tried the experiment , —if he has , and if the promised results have been realised , I pronounce him a lucky fellow . I know not a few hand-loom weavers who think that an increased family is followed by a decreased quantity of food for each , and increased wretchedness and rags for all . But then those weavers are " superficial observers , " and do not understand the subject so profoundly as a government-paid statician . Some of those " superficial observers , " however , incline to the opinion , that the first enactment of Excise and Customs duties

      was a cheat and a juggle , purposely effected to enrich the landowners and impoverish the labourers , — that the sinking system of Pitt , and the ruinous expenditure of the Whigs , are injurious to our national prosperity , —that , notwithstanding , the rapid and gigantic improvements of enr machinery , facilities of railway communication , the increased energy and activity of our workmen , the success of our shipping , and the extension of our commerce , —tbe condition of the labourer has not been bettered of late years—that tbe genius of our mechanics and industry of our workmen are mortgaged to support an overgrown Oligarchy : that the magnitude of our national burdens has been met by " increased exertions : " that these increased exertions , like tbe mother ' s last-horn child , have sucked her breast dry , and caused physical decay , and in not a few cases , premature death .

      We very cordially recommend this pamphlet to our readers , in the hope that it will find a large circulation .

      The Uxbridge S Pirit Of Freedom. Conduct...

      The Uxbridge S pirit of Freedom . Conducted by Working Men . No . VI . September . London : Watson , Queen ' s Head-passage , Paternoster-row . Aveby spirited "Appeal to Young Men , " is followed by an excellent article on "England's Trae Nobility , " written by Jossr RymlloF Northampton—an able writer , in whom we think we discern the promise of even still greater things . We select the following extracts : —

      The Fergusons , the Brindleys , the Parkes , tha Opies , the Simpsons , the Davys , the Burns , and the Shakspeares , have been Gods in the realms of mind , and they have all come from the operative class , that class which has given to the world men who have unravelled the machanism of the heavens , discovered the composition of light , invented telescopes , microscopes , barometers , and telegraphsfounded sciences and extended the arts , the world ' s freatest poets and patriots , philosophers andovators , ave sprung from the people . Those men , not the men of ernune , lawn , and broad domains , are England ' s true nobility . * * * * " What are the mightiest kings and aristocrats when compared with England ' s true nobility ? puny dwarfs , pigmies in intellect , monsters in morals ,

      f " ants in vice , prowling savages , untamed Woodaunds , marderers of brothers , corrupters of female purity , and libellers of the human race . The names of aristocrats and kings will be forgotten , and the warrior names of Cesar , Hannibal , Napoleon , and Wellington , though engraved in brass and cut in solid marble , will be either lost in the rushing whirlpool of time , or loathed and detested , while the names of England ' s true nobility will be remembered and handed down till time shall be no more ' . Ah ! ye rich men , ye aristocrats , remember that there is not a gem in the crown of royalty , but we

      have toiled for , nota stonein your princely mansions unstained with human blood , nor a piece of furniture in your bouse but is saturated with the sweat of working men , nor an article of clothing , in which ye are clad , but has been wrought by the people ; yes , we have created wealth for you drones , and left ourselves poor , we have produced food for you and millions ef us have been starved to death , and we have made clothes for you and gone nearly naked ourselves , but , hear this , ye tyrants of England , the hour of retribution is at hand ! the pay day is coming ! our children are rising up to manhood ' they have been taught to curse your system and destroy your power I

      "Poverty and Cnme , " and the "Monopoly of the Soil" are the titles of well-written articles . " Struggles for Freedom" pours out a thundering and soul-stirring denunciation of the royal assassins of Europe , and their precious friends the " peace" preachers . The writer—who signs himself " Armanb CaBeel' '— commenting on the fall of Hungary , says : — Peoples of Europe , you have looked on and calmly seen a noble nation murdered—its blood be upon your heads ! Englishmen , you are slaves , blind , plague-stricken sSres 1 you seethe brave struggling for life and liberty , and will not lend the helping

      hand ; no , you dare not help yourselves to right and freedom ! all the world know this ! they know that the heart of England hath become the prey of vipers Nicholas knows this , be marked well , when here , that four-fifths of the people had no power , and the rest were at his own or the devil ' s price—and se he began his crusade against democracy ! and the Prince of Prussia , he came here , and , on bis return , thousands of proletarians were slaughtered in the streets of Berlin ! What came he here for ? why our government plays tbe same game 1 tbe spiders of St . Petersburgb , Paris , Vienna , and London , weave their webs alike , and for the mutual purpose of murdering all who love liberty . England is not

      less guilty in the reactionary warfare , because she fights in the dark ; she may not send troops to plant the symbol of popery on the Vatican ; but she countenanced the French expedition , and her silence was the signal for the onslaught upon Hungary . God knows our aristocrats would willingly welcome those wretches , the Cossacks , and give every mother ' s son and daughter of us up to their lust and fury , to ensure their riches and splendours against the rising deluge of democracy . Oh ! they already quake at the touch ot coming desolation . Talk of the nerve of Sirs . Shinning in cooking and eating above the slab , beneath wnich slept her murdered paramour , in his bloody shroud ! what can equal

      the coldness and assurance of those precious peacemongers , who , in Paris , when the rain of heaven hath but just swept the blood of tbe men of June from the flag-stones , and the walls are still black with the smoke of destruction , are preaching their cold-blooded fraternisation to all tyrannies ; spouting vegetarianism to blood-drunken butchers , as if they would forego their lap of gore—the life of tyrants I Oh I you men of peace , you are in league with blood-guiltiness , the price of blood is in your bands ! If ye are not , then denounce those horrible blasphemies , Peace in Poland , Peace in Rome . If ye

      are not hypocrites , denounce tbe Galician massacres and the butchers of tbe brave siudeats of Vienna Better ever-lasting war than peace at such a damning price ; hut time passes , and blood Sows ; yet shall Time and Justice avenge each other . For the present , the battle of fighting the tyrants with their own arguments , is at an end ; hut the breathing space between revolutions grows shorter every time , because justice grows stronger ; and we tell you tyrants , you have but caught a glimpse , through the smoke of revolution , of the overwhelming power that shall destroy you in the future .

      That's a dose for the peace-mongers , and no mistake . Thank God , we have not laboured in vain to save the Proletarians from the withering influence of the " political pedlar " Eiiht / Bubbit , and their canting confederates . While Injustice reigns there ought not , and there shall not be , peace for the wicked .

Enormous pieces of beef , whole sheep , monstrous fishes , load an immense table bristling with bottles . The gnests clothed in black , calm and serious , seat themselves in silence , and with the air which one takes at a funeral . Behind the president is placed a functionary called the toast-master . It is he who is charged to make the speeches . The president whispers to him tbe mot d ' ordre , and " Gentlemen , " says he , with the voice

      of a stentor , "I am about to propose to you a toast , which cannot fail to be received by you with great favour ; it is the health of the very honourable , very respectable , and very considerable Sir Robert Peel , & c . The guests , then , shaking off their silent apathy , rise allat once , as if they were moved by springs , and respond to the invitation by thundering forth frantic cries . "Whilst tbe glasses are being emptied , three young girls , with bare shoulders , slip from behind a screen , and play a tune on the piano . The toasts do not cease until the guests , having strength neither to rise mi to , remain seated , roll under the table .

      SUNSHE ? E ASB SHADOW ; A TALE OP THE NINETEENTH CENTUBY . BT THOMAS iURIW WHEELER , late Sacr & tary to the National Charter Associattou and National land Company .

      Chapter XXIII . " 0 ! the grave , the gravel it buries every error —covers every defect—extinguishes every resent-HKs & t ' . From its peaceful bosom spring none but fond regrets and tender recollections . Who can look down upon the grave and not feel a compunctious throb that ho should ever have warred with ilie poor handful of earth that lies mouldering at his feet . " —Washington . Irving . "' To set me free V he cried . With sudden bound He rose ; and with a vacant , ' wildered smile , Sadly and donbtingly he gaz'd around A moment ; then cried with transport wild .

      ' Tis vain ! The freshness of tho morning light That shone o ' er youth is gone for evermore . The heart has hop' d , the heart has known a blight ; It wakes bereav ' d of Fancy ' s cherish'd store ! Vain , then , is every promise of delight-Vain the dear dream it lov'd in days of yore . Betuming spring waft not thy balmy breeze'Tis vain , ' lis vain this world may not appease . Beste . Arthur Morton had been nearly a month in his solitary dungeon , when one evening , to his great surprise , he received a visit from Sir Jasper Baldwin , unattended by any of tho officials of the prison . Tumultuous were the feelings that rushed to his heart at the sight of his persecutor , but respect for lady Baldwin , and uncertainty as to the object of

      his visit , chained his tongue , and Sir Jasper was the first to break the silence . His voice fell so mournfully , yet so kindly , upon the prisoner ' s ears , who expected only threats and reproaches , that he gazed earnestly upon him , and his eyes gradually getting accustomed to the light which Sir Jasper had placed on the stone recess , which served him for seat , table , and bed , he saw that he was clothed in black , and that his countenance showed signs of deepest care . The chill of despair fell heavy on Arthur ' s heart , and banished all feelings of animosity . He knew that the wife of Sir Jauper was no more , he felt that his own unhappy love had helped to sadden her existence , perhaps to hasten its close ; and quick and hurriedly as these reflections passed

      in his mind , yet Sir Jasper ' s accents had a second time time fallen unanswered , save by the dim echoes of the galleries that led to his cell , ere Arthur comprehended or replied to the simple announcement " that he was free . " A few hours previously freedom had been viewed as the most precious of nature ' s boons . Now the doors of his gaol were opened , but he still lingered in his cell , as though unwilling to quit it , and Sir Jasper gazed moodily on him , fearing that his penitence had come too late , and that the reason of his victim was wrecked . Arthur , at length , unheeding the presence of his companion , murmured , " She is dead ; and I , who alone knew her worth , not there to listen to her dyin ? words , and receive

      the last pure tokens of her love . " Sir Jasper ' s blood coursed quickly through his veins ; but , with a forced calmness which succeeded in arresting Arthur ' s attention , he said , — " Young man , these are not words for a husband ' s ears ; but I have done with wrath . I war not with the dead . Too late did I learn her worth—too late appreciated the struggles of her pure heart . Her dying words informed me of much of which I had previously been ignorant , and banished all suspicion from my mind . I pledged my word that you should receive pardon and protection . That pledge I now redeem . You were a prisoner—whether guilty or not of the crime laid to your charge your own heart knows best . I now set you free . I

      place only one restraint upon you . Choose your home without the bounds of this island , and you shall have my blessing , and , if needs be , my purse also ; but I dare not trust you within my power . Even now my angry blood rebels against my tonguo ; but for the sake of the departed—go , and go in peace . Three days hence a vessel shall await your decision as to your future home . I trust to your honour for the secresy of this interview ; " and thus parted—ay , in all probability for ever—the husband and the lover . Arthur Morton , thus escaped from the fangs of the law , returned to the residence of Mr . Ellington , where his presence was hailed with feelings of unfeigned delight . His answers to their inquiries

      were necessaril y evasive ; but they gathered enough to know that his release had been conditional upon his leaving England , and that there were some grounds arising out of the state of political parties in England for his apparently strange and unprecedented arrest . Loth were they to part from him . His talents and urbanity endeared him to their hearts , and they manifested their kindly feeling by neglecting no step necessary to promote his welfare in the new homo to which he was bound ; for Arthur had decided upon carryingout his original intention of settling in America . This determination he had communicated by letter to Sir Jasper . Nobly and frankly did he pour forth the feelings of his soul to the bereaved man . Grief purifies and

      enlarges the human heart , watering and refreshing the gentler faculties of the soul , even as the dew of heaven refreshes and invigorates the flowers of earth drooping beneath the too regal influence of the sun . Oh 1 it is not in prosperity that we cherisli tbe pure aspirations that nature hath implanted within us ; sailing with the stream , looking with a holiday eye upon the world , we are apt to forget the great interests of humanity in the selfish enjoyments of the hour ; but when grief falls on the heart , the mists that beclouded our vision are removedour hearts beat in unison with the world's great heart—we draw nearer to the standard of our common humanity—the electric throb of sympathy links us to the vast human family , and we go

      forward on our mission to cheer , reform , and console . The first era in the existence of Arthur Morton was now closed ; with the death or desertion of our first love ( not the mere attachment of boyhood , but the ardent breathing of early manhood when fancy is matured by judgment , and the curse of satiety is unknown ) comes a change o ' er our feelings and character , gradually , hut not the less rapid and effectual . We no longer live in the present ; tho future , though viewed through the medium of a chilled and blight hearted , is still in the ascendant . The youthful freshness of tho heart , which coloured every object with its own rosy hue , and peopled the stern globe with the bright creations of a glowing fancy , is for ever departed ; and the mind

      smiles in scorn at the false idols of its former worship ; no longer occupied in contemplating the' perfections of its beloved object , it turns its gaze inward , and acquires a deeper knowledge of its own powers and nature , and forms a more correct estimate of its relation to society , and the duties consequent thereon . If death has snatched the loved object from our grasp , a tone of softness mingles with our bitterest regrets ; but if treaclicry hath robbed us of the prize , scorn and contempt mix themselves up with our nature , and we become cynical and'unjust . Time , however , modifies and ameliorates these influences , and the elasticity of youth again impels the heart gently , but irresistibly , forward to the regions of hope and love .

      Through these various changes did the mind of Arthur Morton pass—the ardent and enthusiastic youth became the melancholy and reflective manlife was no longer looked at through the glass of enchantment , but beheld in the dull sober colours of reality , its beauties not heightened , nor its deformities concealed ; he was becoming a fit companion to mix with his fellow-men — with sensibilities blunted , and judgment matured , his loins were girt up for the conflict with mankind . The shadows ot misfortune had thrown their dark mantle over the more glowing features of his character , and wrought the sombre tints into more bold reliefhe had become a move useful , though a less amiable man .

      Ferocit* Of Wasps. — In A Small Outhouse...

      Ferocit * of Wasps . — In a small outhouse at Baledgarno , used for holding broom and firewood , a colony of wasps had planted their paper palace several months ago . The house cat had taken possession of a part of the same premises , and was rearing three thriving kittens among the bushwood . One day last week , one of tho kittens seeing the wasps ' " nest suspended from a twig , drew it down with one of her paws to examine it , when she was instantlyassailed by hundreds of the ferocious inmates . Her screams brought the old cat to the rescue , but being met by a dozen or two of the enraged wasps she was glad to escape , and the kitten was stung to death in a few minutes . The other kittens , singularly enough , remained unscathed , not a single wasp touching either of them . — Dundee Courier .

      Docblh Murder as » Suicide . —The Paris papers report the following distressing occurrence : —A fellow named Viard , a washerman , in the Commane of St . Denis , had been condemned for the violation of the person of his own daughter . After the expiration of his punishment , Viard returned home , and from that moment subjected his wife and the ravished daughter ( a girl of fourteen years ) to all sorts of annoyances , on the ground that they had been instrumental in his condemnation . He consummated his vengeance , a few days ago , by strangling the wife with a handkerchief , during the absence of the rest of the family . Viard then calmly awaited the return of his daughter , whom he disposed of in the same manner . Afterthe consummation of this double murder , tbe assassin placed the carcases of his victims on the bed of his dormitory ; went into another room , and there , after having recommended himself to the mercy of his Creator , deliberately hanged himself .

      The Prenck R Republic

      THE PRENCk REPUBLIC

      ( From the Democrat Seview . ) . . , ., , , Paris , 20 t . h of August , 1849 . Aotwithstandmg-its apparent defeat on the 13 th of June , Socialism has lost none of its strength . It has now attained such a degree of power , that , in order to contend with it , with some adyantajrc , the reactionary party is obliged to imitate it , while it ? * ? j- doctrmes . and calumniates and persecutes its leading men . The following circumstances exemplify their proceedings : — S l P Jcct 9 of law issued by the Commission at the Luxembourg , which have become the charter of the Socialists , was one that proposed Working Men ' s AssoeiatiAna and tW wftatirm of

      funds for providing asylums for the aged and infirm ; ™ " » f find the President of the Republic at the ' Head of an association ostensibly similar ; and , last session , the National Assembly entertained the project relating to asylums for working men . These appearances p f reform are only delusions ; a govern-Mnt rl ? de 1 on , ^ rann y c ap ^ om » W never think seriously of committing suicide by attacking capicai . it is onl y an ill-contrived snare prepared to surprise the people . This necessity of imitating Socialism is a yery powerful argument in its favour . Lately also , in the Assembly , M . Melun brought forward a proposal to form a commission for framing » system of public assistance to the poor . To explain this sudden commisseration for the poor the

      itoyaiisD conspiracy must be borne m mind . The 13 th of June furnished to the majority of the Assembly a pretence that it had long souSht for , for attacking the Democratic Party , and of taking revenge on the Revolution of February . Upward ! of fifty representatives , members of the Mountain , have been prosecuted by cowards who hid themselves in their cellars on the 24 th of February . Three rights were consecrated by the Constitution : the liberty of the press , that of speech , and the right of public meeting . Not satisfied with arbitrarily suspending six newspapers , the government adopted Draconian laws against the press generally , but evidently directed against the organs of social reform ; the clubs were suppressed ,- and the liberty of speech was most unceremoniously abolished ; moreover M . de Falloux presented a Bill affecting Public Instruction , by which the education of the

      French youth will he placed in the hands of the Jesuits and religious corporations . Having thus prepared the way , it appears to the chiefs of the Royalist party that the situation is favourable for effecting the destruction of the Republic , and the restoration of the Monarchy . In order to check industry , suspend labour , and to make the middle classes believe that the Republic is no longer practicable , and is only a whim of the people , the reactionary party is now combining , in the provinces , with the General Councils , cither to bring about a Consulate , —an imperial form of Government , —or else tho usurpation of the sovereignty of the people by the person it pleases them to call Henri V . But we anticipate a thorough failure of all these conspiracies , for the present generation is intensely democratic , and we have faith in the future of the French Republic .

      A Word To The Democracy. " The? That Sat...

      A WORD TO THE DEMOCRACY . " The ? that sat in darkness saw great light , " seems to us an appropriate text to the remarks which we intend to offer on the contention which exists between new and old ideas . Those who have sat in the " valley of the shadow of death , " a true p icture of despotic tyranny , are now merging into the full glare of freedom ' s sunshine . The path may be rugged , and but few of the more earnest spirits may reach the goal , but , an abiding faith in the holiness of our mission , and an expansive love for our kind , must displace this world's narrow selfishness , and cause us to work on , and work hopefully . The labour of the sincere Democratic , and Social Reformer is but commencing , for , blinded by

      superstition , and false teachers , the mass of mankind have been incapable of perceiving the secret enemy which embittered their existence . The drapery which concealed the enormous blood-guiltiness of earth ' s tyrants is now removed , and instead of being , as they have blasphemously assumed , God ' s vicegerents , they are seen to be emissaries of Hell . The infamous conduct of the liberal Pope will produce mighty results . It will add increased impulse to the freedom of thought , and shako the empire of priestly domination . Upon the whole , the present state of Europe gives us no cause for despondency . It is true we have been taught a dear

      bought lesson , and the amount of suffering consequent therein has been terrible ; yet something extraordinary was necessary to show mankind the true characters of kings , priests , and profitmongers . The treachery of the bourgeoise towards the people during the late revolutions , has been everywhere transparent , and it is evident that as a clasi , they are utterly devoid of principle or patriotism . Self and pelf is their rule of action . Here , then , is a summary of the teaching of the late continential struggles for liberty , which , for practical results , are at present a dead letter , ponder well on it : Kings , Priests , Aristocrats , and Phofitmongers ark the enemies of makkind . Wo are ofton

      reminded by our conscientious and over scrupulous friends , that the profitmongers and usurers act this part in consequence of their precarious position , and that , their faithlessness to the people , is not so much the result to their wishes as of tho circumstances in which tho commercial system places them . What matter it tons through what cause they act as our enemies ? It is sufficient for us to know that it is so . We should therefore make our calculations accordingly . If tho possession of property through the medium of existing institutions , converts the possessor into a stumbling block , in the way of the producer of that property , we must press on for the abolition of such institutions , and establish those that will cause all men to feel an interest in the welfare of their fellows . In the meantime we must not deceive ourselves as to the true character of landlords , capitalists , and

      profitmongers . They have given us repeated proofs that they never will consent to tho establishment of a just state of society , why then should men shed their blood to dethrone a tyrant and afterwards surrender the reins of power to those who have uniformly proved their worst , because their more plausible and hypocritical , encmiesl Such has been the case heretofore and resulted in sad and bitter disappointment to tho people ; and banishment , imprisonment , and death to the honest portion of their leaders . Previous to the renewal of the struggle , the Democrats of Europe should hold a conference , and agree upon a definite plan of Social Reform , which should be published extensively , and form a text book for all Democrats . Let this be done , and a general understanding established among the friends of mankind , and the world will speedily witness the last throes of despotism . —Democratic Review for Sqrtcmocr .

      Royal Polytechnic Institution. Daring Th...

      ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION . Daring the past week Dr . Bachhoffner , in continuing his lectures on domestic chemistry , has chosen the subject of aerated fluids , and beverages of such like description . The professor confined himself almost entirely to the preparation of soda _ water , lemonade , & c , which he , in his experiments , manufactured for the benefit of his auditors , both ia an intellectual , as well as practical understanding . The apparatus chosen for illustration was that lately patented by Mr . Masters , and certainly from the experiments performed at the lecture , proved itself one of the most perfect inventions of any yet extant . In size and appearance it might be taken to represent a small vase or dessert jug , forming altogether an elegant ornament for the table or sideboard . After pointing out the principles upon which these aerated drinks have been previously prepared , the learned doctor proceeded to explain the iwdus

      operandi of the new machine . Two glass receivers are" disposed one above the other , the upper one having a descending pipe leading from about midway in its interior to the bottom of the lower receiver . The upper one contains the material for producing the gas necessary for aeration , the lower one the compound to be aerated . When it is required to set the apparatus in action , a small quantity of water is poured into that receiver containing the chemical salis , for the liberation of the gas—and the whole apparatus firmly secured together—the gas having no means of exit , save the descending pipe previous I mentioned , is forced to descend that channel , and bubbling through the contents of the lower chamber , strongly impregnates them , giving them a sharp agreeable flavour . After the process has continued a few minutes , the aerated drink may be drawn off at the convenience of the operator , an ingenious tap being arranged for that purpose . We were happy to find the doctor greatly applauded by a large and highly respectable audience throughout his lecture .

      Infernal Improvement (?) i » the art of Wholesale Murder . —In tho campaign of the Grand Duchy of Baden , the Prussian foot were armed with muskets of a newly-invented construction . The plan on which they aro made , and especially tho composition and arrangement of tho charge , are a secret of the Prussian War-office . We have , however , been enabled to gather the following particulars respecting these muskets , which are known by the name of" Zundnadelgeweoro , " from the explosion being produced by the passing of a pin through the cartrid ge : the barrels are rifled , and the bullets which are shot out of them are spitz kuglen , a kind of conical bullet . They are conical at the point , cylindrical in . the middle , and globular

      at the end . The cartridges in which these bullets are have a layer of explosive matter next to the bullet , and the gunpowder is at the bottom of the carriage , which ia put in at the lower end of the barrel . On the trigger being pulled , a thin p iece of steel ( nadel ) enters through a hole in tho back , of tho barrel , and piercing the cartridge and the gunpowder , it proceeds to the explosive mass , which is similar to that which is employed for the usual percussion caps . The gunpowder is thus lighted at the front , and every grain of powder is consumed . The charge of powder ia 3-24 ths of an ounce , while that of a percussion musket is usually C-24 ths of an ounce . These muskets enable a soldier to charge and fire six or eight times without lowerins his

      musket , and 1 , 000 yards is still a good killing distance . It is not a safe distance for hitting , but 800 yards is ; and a good shot is at that distance pretty sure of his aim . S 00 yards , then , is the range o * f these muskets , while the usual musket range is 400 yards , and thus the enemy must advance iOO yards in tho fire of the Prussian troops before they can think of returning it . A troop of soldiers , marching in double quick time , would make that distance in four minutes , and be exposed from twenty-five to thirty shots from each Prussian musket . The cavalry , which wants two and a half minutes to advance 800 yards , is exposed to twenty shots from each man . As for the artillery , the discharges of erape and canister tell fearfully at 400 yards , and

      have but small effect at 800 yards . The artillerymen are thus exposed to the Prussian muskets , and can be picked oft as they stand by their pieces . Capital Hits . —Sir Hercules Langrisn , the celebrated wit of the last century , was riding in Phoenix Park with the Duke of Rutland , when Lord-Lieutenant .

Being ' acquitted of any charge , his only punishment was a five months' detention in solitary confinement and banishment from the country . Lv a certain district in the Highlands , one day , some years ago , the bellman made the following proclamation : — " 0 , yes ! 0 , yos ! 0 , yes ! and that ' s three times , you'll a' be tak notice , that there'll pe nae Lord ' s Day here next Sunday , as the laird ' s wife will hae a muckle washing , and sho wants the kirk to dry the claes in !"
