'Phe (lescharge of steam now became al
most incessant for. two hours, during
which, its incalculable fbrce and astonish

amazrinent admiration in all present.
Atfirst the halls were dischai-ged at short
intervals, in imitation of artillery firing,
against an iron targid, at the flistance of
35 ya.'ds. SiK li was the force with whirb
they were driven, that they were com
pletely shalterrd to atoms. In the next
experiment tl-.e iialls were dischargn-d at

given a lateral direction* and the balla

in li»ie, the steam gun might be made te.
act from one of its extremities to the o

A similar plank was afterwards placed
in a perpendicular position, and in like
manner, there was a stream of shot holes
from the top to the bottom. It is thus
proved that the steam gun has not only
the force of gunjiowder, but also admits
of any direction being given to it. But
w hat seemed lo create most surprise was
liitr efTects of a volley of balls discharged
.igainst the brick wall by the side of the
larget. 'Phey absolutely dug a hole of
considerable (limensions in the wall; and
j)( netrated almosi one half through its
thickness. We heard several olTirers
declare their belief, that, had the balls
b. en made of iron inste ul of lead, they
uld have actually made a break
through it—the wall was 1>J inches thick

W’e ye.^lcrdin louc'ied on the death of
'he Mmperor Ai'Xander, as that eveni
miglu iairly be presumed,from sticli par
lieiilai'sas yet have reached us, to alfec'
ili( feelings oi' his subjects, and eventual
1\ the j)e ee of ’lis immense dominions.
It seems, however, to be hnticipated by
the best I’ussian .luthorities in t'lis C' vin
try, that Constantine will succeed lo thn
empire without any resistance.
I5ut if the death of Alexander wus an
event lo be deplored by the great majori
t> of his own peo])le, by p^urope general
ly we may suppose that it will be looked
at with veiy difTerent emotions. As th(^
author, and master, and mover of the
Holy Alliance, the late Kmperor was a
declared foP to the political rights of all
civlized nations, to the cause of freedom
over the whole earth, and to the im
provement and happiness of man as a
member of society. The jealousy with
which this pupil of the reformist, La
Harpe, watched, through his Ministers
in the remotest spots of Europe, the first
buddings of independent spirit and manly
feelings in matters of Goverment, that he
might nip and crush them, is notoriourv
every where. He it was who stimulated
his crouching allies to preach up the far
famed monarchical principle, which ren
dered the caprice of any tyrant, the most
atrocious or contemptible that ever vexed
mankind, the sole ruling power over
