THE MERRIMAC InD HER ARMAMENT. The United Stale steam frigntc Mer riinac, of which soanuch has been sniil in our own journals,! is now Ijtnp in South ampton Itoails, end to use a common phrase, creates, "quite a sensation" in Brit ish naval circles, fl'he Merrimuc is one of the new war steamers, ami the style of her armament differs materially from the rule adopted in the Europe n navl service. This peculiarity of her armament naturally attracts attention on the other side of the Atlantic, and the London Morning Post, the special organ of the British Pri i.e Min ister, refers to the batter in the following article : j The Armament of the Merrimac We shall offend no transatlantic sentiment of national vanity by averring that the Ameri can naval authorities are trying a conclu sion in the armament of the Merriro'ac, ti nned Stales frigate, at this time lying in Southampton Waif r, with a truly ga-ahead faith in the virtue bf extremes, a quickness of adaptation to which we slower people make no pretensions, and which we have not been accustorfied to consider prudent. It is our sluggish over-cautiousness, per haps, which induces 'us to see the work ings of a principle in "other hands before adopting it ourseltes, and wa shall regard with more than common interest the work ing of the armament of the Merrimac. Lest out remarks, prove caviare to the multitude, let us I explain. A paragraph has been running 'the round of the papers respecting; the American giant frigate, the Merrimac. She is enormously large and enormously strong and carries an arma ment of enormous weight ; finally, she has discarded solid s.bot altogether, and is to right with shells j alone. Her gun are curiously, and, as it seems to us, beneficial ly modified from j the old construction, in accordance with the deductions of Dahle Ten, which is, however, collateral to the main point The! gist of the thing is as follows : The Merrimc is boldly commit ted to the full adoption of that which has not been unaptly; termed the incendiary principle; as first j developed by Paixhan: and her armaments is the most terrible shell 'armament wherewith any ship has hitherto been supplied. j 'Now, it is a fact to be reme-nbered, that the shell system, as distinguished from the solid shot syten was first devised bv Paixhan with especial reference to the des miction of ships i-not fortresses and he did our navy the honor of selecting for his ideal target. We I have only adopted the incendiary system in our ships of war :o a limited extent, and Sir Howard Douglas, -our most 'isiingiiished author on naval gunnery, has in his book advanced 'strong objections to the adoption of whole broad Fides of Paixhan'sj guns. The armament -of the Merrimac if in opposition to these ie.ducnons ; and one is naturally anxious to ascertain the reasons which have iudu ! the American navxl authorities to act in opposition to an authority whom they hold in great esteem. One is anxious, moreover, to be made -aware and the lljousrhl evokes curious sensations whether the authorities who committed the Merrimac so fully ' to the incendiary systeih concede the gener! principle that horizontal shell firing from heavjr ordinance ta chiefly effectual as against ships. - In short, the Merrimac is turned out of hands seemingly with the object of trying a system de C out ranee. It behooves us slow-moving people, to keep all our eyes open, and profit by the experi meni. j We have no fears about the successful working of this system, provided it is as sociated with superior speed. In single -combat, speed is an important element, while for bombarding or fleet conflict the 44 incendiary" principle is beyond question, the most effective. It is not the number of shot, but the destructiveness of the fire, which .decides a combat. I From the Louden Notes and Queries. BE -MARRIAGE OF PERSONS WHO HAVE BEEN SEPARATED: . i As the following is in Brayleys Surrey, it will be no noveltjrjto some of yojjr, read ers, though perhaps ii will be so to the ma jority. My motive jn transcribing it for you is to ascertain whether there is any reason to suppose that at the period in ques tion (1604) it was customary in other pla ces to re-marry persons who hud been long separated in the same formal manner as at Berirjondsey, the c ergyman of the parish beinj present, and the re marriage being entered in the register. This is the entry in register, at St Mary's Church, Bermond sey: - - j ' t - i u The forme of a solemn vowe made be . twixt a man and bis wife, having! been longe absent, through which occasion the woman . bong married to another man, took her again as followeth : - 44 The Man's SpekcA 'Elizabeth, my beloved Wife, I am -right sorie thai I have M longe absented j myselfe from thee, whereby thou should! be occasioned to take another man to be thy husband Therefore, I do now Vowe and promise in lb sight of God, and this compniie, to take thee againe as mine owne, and I will not only forgive thee, but also dwrll with thee, and do all otheij duties unto thee, as I promised at our marriage. i " The IVoman't Speach. . Ralphey my holnvil hush n(f -1 iMm ri-rhl sorie that I have in thy absence in ken another man to be my husband ; butjhere, before God anil this enmpuoie, I renounce and forsake him, and do promise to kepe my sea I fe only unto thee durng life, and perform all duties which I first promised unto the in our : marriage." j - j Then follows a short occasional prayer, .nd the entry concludes thus r ' - j " f ' ",Tbe first day or August, t604, Ralph Goodchild, of the parish of Bark i go, in Thames street, and j Elizabeth, his wif were agreed to live together ; and thereup- on gave their hands: one to another, jrank. inge eith.r of them soleuine rowt so to doe in the presence of us : William Siere, Parson; Edward Coker. and Richard Eire. APPALLING BUKISING OF A SHIP The following detiiils of a horrible chs of the burning of a ship at Macao, have been received at Lloyd's : "Th Dutch ship Banca, Capt. Heym iin8, 700 tons burden, with between 3 and 400 emigrants, (coolies) for Havana, put back to Macao, ubouta month since, (ih dispatch is dated at HorisT Kong, August 10.) with her water casks leaking and car go shifted, having encounterd boisterous weather, and on reaching" the outer roads brought to an anchor. There she remain ed repairing, her officers exercising strii t vigilance nt preventing th cmjlies going .ishore, for fetr ihey should m-ike their es cape. For the three weeks, whatever dis content may have prevailed, no fears of an outbreak would seem to have been enter tained, until h Chinese doctor warned the captain that mischief was brewing. In preparing lor such a contingency as a ris ing of the coolies, the smalt arms were plac'd on the . oop, and two guns were loaded with grape, and pointed forward. About 9 o'clock on the night of the 8:h. the disturbance commenced, and the crew took refuge on the poop The Captain first fired a shot or two overhead, but, as ihrti had no effect, and the coolies advan ced towards them, yelling, frightfully, ar med with belaying pins, bricks torn from i he cooking places, &c, the Captain gave orders to his men to fire, nd immediately a volley was poured into the infuriated mass from tbe two guns, and also from the small arms. This hud the effect of check tng and putting down the riot, and the coo lies were driven below, but they sought re venue by setting fire to the ship, and in a few minutes the Captain whs appalled by weeinir flames issuing up from the fore hatch. A frightful scene of carnage fol lowed : the coolies rushed upon deck, and no doubt murdered all the officers of the ship. The ship was soon in a blaze, fore nd aft. In about an hour the mainmast fell with a crash, then the fore anil mizen. and about midnight the m.tgazine blew up with a trernend'. us explosion. I he sh p was instantly hurled to fragments, and n vast number of poor creatures who were clinging to the chains, perished with her Of the number who were on board, inclu ding crew and passengers about 500, only 150 escaped wuh their lives: the lemain der were either burnt in the ship or drow ned. The affair has produced a great sen s.uion in Hong Kong. CASE OF SOMNAMBULISM. A Pittsburg journal gives the following thrilling account of a cne of somnambu lism which occurred at the residence of a gentleman near that citj' : Hearing foo steps upon the stairs about midnight, and suspecting burglars might be about the primxes, the gentleman ruse from his bed and took down a double-bar reled gun, with which in his hand he pro ceeded to the door opening ino the hall. Keaching the door, he applied his ear to the key hole and heard what ha thought a rustling of garments upon the siairo.- Hastily drawing a chair :o the door, he stepped upon it and inserted the gun thro' i he trunson. Just then the thought occur red to bun that it might be his daughirr, who some time previously was addicted to walking in her sleep. Passing out into the hall, with the gun still in his hand, to be used in case circumstances warranted it, he found the apartment entirely vac -nt, and, lighting a lump, he then ascended the stairs. Imagine his surprise and terror on looking out o( the chamber windows to see among the branches of a tall tree which grew there, his daughter, dressed in her night habiliments and seemingly utterly unconscious of her perilous position. With out uttering a word or making a sound calculated to frighten her he " stepped out of the window himself, and, winding one arm tightly about the waist of the sleep ing girl, he with great exertion managed to regtin the hall with his precious burden. The surprise of the young lady when she awoke and was informed of her perilous adventure can be better imagined than de scribed." THE OLDEST CHURCH IN THE U. STATES. The oldest Church in the United Stat-s is said to be at Hingham, Massachusetts. It is a huge, square structure, the belfry ri sing out of the centre of the roof. Inside are the old square pews, which oear a look of singular antiquity. It is nearly two hundred years old. In the adioininir bury ing ground atones may be seen , dated as tar Duck as Ibiy. A genuine down easier was lately es saying to appropriate a square of exceed ingly touirh beef at dinner, in a Wisconsin hotel. His convulsive efforts with a knife ami fork attracted the smile of the rest, in i he same predicament as himself. At last Jonathan's patience vanished under his ill success, when, laying down his utensils. he burst out with : "Strangers you need it' i laff; if you heint got no regard for the landlord's feelings, you out to have some respect for the old bull." This sally brought down the house. EMPRESS OF FRANCE HUNTING The Pns Spiirl ays : The Emperor and Empress we l on a shooting excursion toihe park of St. Cloud lately.

THE existing condition of political parties, and of partisan atrile, nsturslly suggeststhe estab lishing of such a journal as the "ftouihrrn Senti nel'' propose to become. The present, indeed, is a crisis in our political history, never w Itm ssrd be fore. The Constitution haa been invaded i the law trampled and spat upon ; religiousliberty atsailed ; ballot boxes broken and burnt; the landmarks ot our political anerstry partially effaced the wis dom derived from a time-honored experience un seated; stra nga a ad questionable turn have been ptuAedinto high petitions; and fanaticism, unchai ned from its axe aad its faggot pils in the North, U heard to howl among us in 'he South. These evils, so far as it humble abilities shall serve. THE SOUTHERN SENTINEL Will endeavor to arrest. I twill endeavor to incul cates reverence for the laws as they exist, and for the Constitution, as it has been interpreted by the wise men iliepaet and bf the Father of the Demnrraric faith. It wiHdel'rnd not only political but BrLieioas liberty, and will do battle apainst ev ery political heresy hat may nppear, whethei hatched in caves or cuiveris, or open convention. The Sentinel will also, to relieve the monotony of politics, devote apace to literary topics, original and selected, as well a to miscellaneous subjects, which shallint'lude Agricultural and the latest Com mercial intelligence. In brief, no efforts nor ex penses will be spared to make ihe Sentinel one of the most usrtui and emcicnt journal in the ouih. The first number of the Sentinel will be issuud about the first of the next month, and sent to sub scribers at the rate of S2 per annum: S2 50 at the end of six months, snd S3 at the end of the vear.
