This arrangement, which is the invention of the superintendent of the Royal Caniage Factory at Woolwich Arsenal, is exceedingly simple and compara tively inexpensive, and it has proved to be capable of greatly augmenting the speed of fire now athhined by the service artillery.

MR. HILTON PRICE draws attention, in the Times, 10 a forgotten parallel to the Parr's Bank robbery. In 1844. a. robbery of about £50,000 worth of paper and gold was effected at the bank of Messrs. Rogers, iding and Co. By a curious coincidence the number of £1,000 notes stalen was exactly the same as in the recent case thirty-six. A considerable tinie afterwards all the notes were returned in-a parcel, the thief having, probably, come to the conclusion that they were not negotiable.. But he did not return the gold, amounting to £1,200, So in both cases it would seem as if the motive which prompted the restitution of the swag was. prudence rather than penitence. History, as Mr, Hilton Price observes, repeats itself--but not often with such remarkable exactness: Two large transports for the use of the navy are asked for by Secretary of the Navy Long, in a letter to Congress requesting the insertion of this item in the naval appropriation bill.

cost it more than $1,250,000 each. Such a transport would carry 1,200 men and their offi cers, with all regimental supplies, wagon trains, ammunition, hospital stores, etc. Distilling and refrigerating apparatus would be suppled.. The argument for the building af special transports is that existing merchant ships can- not be properly adapted to this purpose. All horses would be transported on separate ships of the usual type.
