A Ncav illilriillcihi 1 , Taylor’s new battery gun was tested recently near llnitfoul, Tbo inventor is James I’alton Taylor, of E ist Tennessee. It is el aimed that in simplicity, compactness, and vapidity of firing it excels any mitrullouse or Guttling gun before invented. Lts bar¬ rels are twenty-four in number, and aro Deranged in two concentric circles— eight in the inner tvid sixteen in th« outer. They are also regulated so as to radiate their fire, coveriug a horizon¬ tal line of twenty two feet at a distance of five hundred yards. . This would bring down every man in a column standing within this boundary, The barrels project from a combination of breech cylinders which , safely inclom all the internal mechanism and protect it effectually from dust, dirt, or damp¬ ness. The gun fires with great rapid¬ ity and in two modes, viz : by fusilado or by volley, at the pleasure of tho op¬ erator. The cat f ridges aro fed into the barrel from suitable charging case#, which aro introduced into the interior of the breech cylinders. Tlic test was made in prcscnco of journalists and others. The results were astonishing. In (irin; a sing'e barrel at a distance of livo hundred yards bullets wore repeatedly sent, into an right inch bull’s eye. Iu firing tho fusilade the twenty-four balls were disN tri'uuted on a horizontal surfaco twonty two feet long at a ttiut inco of a foot apait, and firing by the battery tho samGfc-til's were accomplisl ed.

His letter to Fhtrl Granville, is a much mere important do*uuictit than his cus¬ tomary note to his supporters. Tho EaT Granville letter reveals tho man, xnd it reveals also tho sentiments of tho liberal leaders generally. This letter, which has found its way iuto print, is a feeler, aud, regarding it in that light, it must be admitted to bo admirably adapted to its purpose. Mr. Gladstone put bis case in the hands of his friends, lie is willing to retire for a time and to return in 1875 if bis services as leader are cal cd for, His letter to Earl Granville will compel the,liberal party to decide as to a programme and as to a leader. What the decision may be wq know not. It will not surprise us, however, to learn that Mr. Gladstone is to remain at bis post us the recognized • chief of a powerful opposition. Antiquated. —The legal profession in England is hedged around by a cuvi* ous ohevaux do friso of antiquutod cus¬ toms and prejudices. One of class, these thq is that among lawyers only one barristers, are allowed tu plead, and to obtain admission to this o!as«i it is neces sary to be admitted by one of the four Inns of Court in London, ancient legal associations, dating back several centu¬ been ries. An attempt has recently made to upset this custom by proviog that the common idea of its being essen¬ tia! is erroncon*, utfJ that the judges may admit other persons than those* called to the bar by tbo Inns. The question was brought before the Vico Chancellor's G’jurt, but Vice Chancellor Sir Charles Hall decided that, as 4 judge of the first instance, he had no jurisdiction. It is stated that the mat¬ ter will not be allowed to rest, but will be argued until a definite decision U reached.
