THE BRITISH waty. ‘The United States Frigate Franklin at Ports Wouth—-Offieis! Reception and Repairs—The New Monster Thirty-five Ton Gun—A Seven Hundred Pound Shot to be Sent Into Fifteen Inch Plate—A New Torpedo—Honor to tho Officers ofthe Franklin—Hoeavy Guns for Offensive Purposes. Lonpon, Sept. 1, 1870. ‘The United States steam frigate Franklin, which arrived at Spithead on Monday, witn the flag of Rear Admiral 0. 8. Glisson, has come into Portsmouty harbor, and Isto be docked to make good defects im ber propeller. On running into Spithead she sa- Yated the garrison batteries, the Duke of Wellington, Magship of the port, Admiral sir James Hope, and + the Uniteg Btates nag hoisted at the Consular Agent’s Tesldence, The salutes were returned from the bat- teries and the flagship, after which Admiral Glisson, with ong of nis staif oMfcers, came into Portsmouth arbor, and landed at the dockyard at the King’s Btaira, where he was received by the naval and military authorities with the usaal honors. ‘The gallant Admiral afterwards visited the resl- ence of the general commanding the district in the ‘High street, Portsmouth, where he was received by General Lord Templetown, Tuesday morning Sir James Hope paid a visit to Admiral Glisson on board “7s Frankitn at Spithead, and, on his leaving tne irigate, he was saluted, which was returned by the flagship in the harbor, Jp the afternoon Admiral Giisson returned the English admira’s visit and went on board the Duke of Wellington, when the usual honors were paid Bim. He afterwards visited the boys’ stationary training ship St. Vincent, and was received with the sual salute, the United States ensign being run up to the fore royal masthead. A ball has been given by Sir James Hope to Admi- yal Guisson and the officers of the Franklin, and the arrival of the ship hay had. tendency to make the “own and harbéf quite gay. AN ARTILLERY MONSTER. ‘Yesterday morning I was present at the Royal @Qun Factory at Woolwich, and witnessed the weld- ing together of the two largest sections—viz., the fourth and fifth—the breech piece coil and the trun- nion hoop of the thirty-five ton gun—an operation which I was pleased to see successfully performed. Among those present I recognized many faces well known to both officers and civilians in scientific circles. The welding of these two sections of this monster gun was something marvellous, and I need searcely say that it willbe the most powerful gan ever made, as it is anticipated that it will be capable of throwing a 700 pound shot through a fourteen and three-quarter inch plate, of wrought iron. or armor Plate, and as fifteen inch is tne maximum of plating tnat it is considered can be affixed tw a ship’s side to allow of her being at all efficient you will readily apprehend the interest manifested among the armor-plated shipbutlders, royal naval artillery and engineer oficers, as well as many other scientific men. The gun is to be a muzzie-loader, constructed upon the Fraser principle. The iron bars forming the breech piece, Iam informed, were six inches in di- ameter and 400 feet long. It will be riflea with nine grooves, each one and a half inches wide and two- tenths of an inch deep, with a rifle twist increasing from zero at the breech to one turn in forty cahbres atthe muzzle. The charges which will be used are to be 120 pounds, and the length of the solid shot is to be two feet six inches, and common shell three feet four inches. The gun 1s formed of five concentric bands, in which the best skill and work has been placed to secure efficiency. The first band, or ring, 1s the inner tubing of the gun, made of toughenea steel; then the second—another chase of coiled iron placed over the first to strengthen the breech part of the ; then another coi) and the breech piece, and on trunnion juired, ome iifty or sixty men, under one of the ohiet oMicers of the factory department, were employed yesterday in the operation of welding the most portant of the two sections I have named, and I Must confess that the work was carried on by these men to the admiration of all present. FIRE AND TONGS, AND MUSCLE AND SKILL, ‘The men, shortly before noon, dragged out of the Turnace, with the aid of a huge pair of some tnrrty feet long and about Ofteen tons in weight, the gigantic iron bar, which was carried with the aid of jachinery under the tenton “Ni ? ‘Phe forg- ing of the two sections were completed with won- @erful facility, only taking one hofr, and as they were only shrunk together before being placed in the furnace I think you will agree with me that the blending operation was very smart. After the bars bad been incorporated m one the red hot mass of “heat? was left to cool, which will not be complete unul to-morrow, when it will then be trimmed to its shape by the lathe, Its extreme diameter was barely five feet. When the gun is finisned the complete calibre wil! be about eleven and one-half inches, and the length about sixteen Jeet. TORPEDOS. Torpedes are the order of the day. Two more ave cropped up, and are being experimented upon up the Medway river—one from the designs of a non-commissioned ‘officer in the Royal Engineers, and the other from the idea of a civilian. FARRAGUI'S MEMORY. By the way, | forgot to mention that all the British ships of war in Portsmouth harbor, ag well as the Untted States frigate Frankitn, hoisted their colors haif-mast high ou the oficial announcement of the death of Admiral Farra; a mark of respect to the deceased commander. ‘This is only another instance of the cordial and friendiy feeling which exists between the navies of the Unitea States of America and England, and 1 have fre- quently remarked the good feeling which always is Waniiest whenever @ United States ship of war visits any of the ports in Britain; it is not only notice- able between the officers of the two nations, but also among the crews. J am just told that the Royal Naval Club at Portsmouth (based upon the prin- vlpie of the largest London clubs, and which has for its members nearly ali the officers in the navy and marines) has sent an invitation for all the officers of the Franklin to make use of the Club during their stay in port, and thus making them honorary mem- bers pro ten. FOR OFFENCE. In conclusion, | might add that the only weapons England is possessed oi for offensive purposes 18 the twenty-five ton gun, with a calibre of twelve laches, uring a 600-pounder Palliser sheil with a bursting cbarge of powder of lourtven pounds. The ten-inch eighteen ton gun, capabie of throwing a ‘Palliser’ of 400 pounds, with a bursting charge of six pounds fourteen ounces of powder. The nine-inch twelve ton gun, throwing a “Pailiser” of 250 pounds, with abursting charge of five pounds eight ounces of powder, and the eight-inch nine ton and seven-inch seven ton and six anda half ton guns, capable of throwing and bursting a proportionate weight with @ proportionate bursting charge of powder, all of which are muzzie-icaders, rifled on the Woolwich system, ihe numberof grooves varying from nine inches in the gans of the largest caliore to.a three- inch in the minimum, PRESENTATION BY A LADIES’ UNION, On Monday evening the ladies of the Parasol and Umbrella Makers’ Union sent a message to Mr. Neison W. Young, President of the Workingmen’s Union, requesting him to attend an, important meet- img at their headquarters, in Varick street, near Caml. At some personal inconventence he obeyed the call, and Was surprised on entering the room to ‘be received with a storm of applause from the fair occupants, aud to see one of their number, Miss Leonard, advance to present him with an elegant feuit vase, in token of their grativude to him who had assisted them in their dark hour of distress and aided them to build up their -pre- sent successful organization. A very pretty speech was made, in which Mr. Young was assured that though he could not occupy tne first place ia all their hearts he might perhaps nestle very close to the second. Mr. Young responded with an impromptu flood of thanks, and after greetings and social chat they all dispersed with pleasant memo- Ties of the occasion. ‘The vase 1s an elegant one, artistic and chaste, and bearing the following inscription:—-‘Presented to Nelson W. Young by the members of the Female Parasol and Umbrella Makers’ Union, September 1, 1870,” It consists ef a large circular trait bowl, sus- tained by a siender column, supporved by exquisitely modelled ana chased figures of Daphne and Psyche. ‘The ladies assured Mr. Young that their gratitude to him was boundless, and shouid he ever be @ can- Gidate for any office of honor at the hands of his fellow citizens they would exercise for him all their anfueyce among their relatives and lovers.

He positively identified Murphy as the man who aided in holding him while another confederate (who has not been arrested) stole the property. The defendant swore that the complainant was mistaken, and the gene ps of the place also testi- fled that Murphy was not there that night, but ad- mitted that the accused was a daily visitor at the establishment. There were suspicious circumstances connected with the testimony of the barkeeper which led the jury to disbelieve the story. ey rendered a verdict without leaving thelr seats, and Mr. Fellows moved for sentence, Judge Bedford addressed the prisoner as follows:— Murphy, I do not see how the jury could have done otherwise than render a ver- dict of guilty promptly on the evidence with- out leaving their seats. I e with the District Attorney that the damning fact, so to speak, im your case, was that the witness called in in your behalf stated you were a daily visitor of this dis- reputable den, and that you were a eonstant cus- tomer there. The District Attorney knows as well asIdo that {tis one of the lowest dens in the city. Reputable people never go there unless induced to visit at by men of your character, who, when they enter, rob them. e evidence shows that you are @ desperate rufian, and I am determined to use all my official power in these days of ruManism to put it down if I can.

The Brooklyn Election Fraud Cases—The Convictions Affirmed by the General Term of the Supreme Court. ‘The General Term of the Supreme Court, second district, which met at Poughkeepsie in May last, have promulgated their decision in the Brooklyn election fraud cases, affirming the conviction of Barney Mahoney (whcse case = Was @ test one) in the Court of Oyer and ‘Terminer. Mahoney was a canvasser in the Sixteenth ward and was convicted of having willingly lost the returns of the vote in the district in which he acted. Henry P. Mayo and Michael Bannon, of the Fourth ward, were convicted of having made a false canvass of the vote In their dis- trict; ana Justice James Buckley and George Brown, of the Twenty-first ward, were convicted of refusing canvass the vote as the law prescribed. Judge Gilbert sentenced Mayo and Hannon w the peniten- ttary for three months each, Mahoney for thirty oars, and Buckley and Brown to jail for ten days eac! When the cases were taken to the General Term that of Maboney was a; upon asa test for the others. The same questions which were raised in that applied to the others. The counsel for the de» fendants argued upon the irregularity of the pro- ceedings of the Grand Jury which found the indict- ments. Counsel raised the point that the Grand Jury sat in the evenings when the court was not in session, and that it was continued in session alter Judge Barnard had leit the city and gone to New- burg and was holding court there. ‘he defendants’ counsel also contenacd they merely torfeited their pay as canvassers that if they fatied to discharge their duty. District Attorney Morris made a cogent argu- ment sustaining the convictions, and held that it Was not necessary that the Judge should sit all the while when the Grand Jury was transacting busi- ness, 80 long as the court was existing as a court in session. In view of this deciston of the Genera! Term, the counsel for the defendants will probat carry the cases to the Court of app jon 18 garded in Brooklyn asasevere blow to th and @ point in favor of District Attorney Mor Boss McLaughlin, A CABBAGE THIEF SHOT IN JERSEY. Between one and two o'clock yesterday morning there came near being enacted a trageay at the hittle hamlet of Waverley, a mile or so out of New- ark, N.J. Last Saturday night Mr. G. C. Lewis, a farmer, returned to his place there after a trip to Washington, and in the morning he discovered thas five hundred or more of his finest cab- bages had been stolen. Suspecting that the robbers ceitemplated a second visit, he and his father-in-law, Charles Simoni, ere to receive them. Shortly after midnight, fonder. Mr. Lewis, who was secreted in the bushes with his father-in- law, observed two strange men, of large muscular build, enter the garden and proceed to cut down row after row of cabbages and gather them into a bag. When about to leave, one of the miscreants discovered Mr. Lewis, and drawing a revolver he fired. The ball whistled past Mr. Lewis’ head, de- molishing a twig ten inches from his cheek. The rascal cropped like lightning immediately after- wards, at received in his side the contents of one barrel of Mr. Lewis’ shot gun. He was only winged, however, for tn a jitfy he and nis compan- lon were scampering off out of sight. Mr. Lewis pursued but did not overtake them. The Newark police are on the qui vive tor the miscreants. TESTAMENTARY CONTEST I) WESTCHESTER. An application was made before Surrogate Joun W. Mills, of Westchester county, yesterday morning at White Plains for letters of administration on the will of John Bussing, deceased, Involving property to the amount of avout $300,000, the validity of which {s contested on the ground of alleged insanity of the testator. The decased, who was a resident of Yon- kere, died about six weeks ago, having bequeathed nearly all of the property to his son, John Bussiog, who, it is understood, was aiso appointed executor under the will which was executed in 1854, ‘Two daughters of the deceased nowcontest the testa- tory docament, for the alleged cause already named. Only one witness was examined, and he testified to having known the deceased for twenty years; that he had been a subscribing witness to the will at the request of the testator, who, fn his opinion, was per- fectly sane at the time the document tn question was executed. The case was then adjourned for a fur- ther hearing. THE NATIONAL GALE Mutuals Versus Olympics eof Washington, D. C.—Eany Victory for the “Mutew? by a Score of 29 to 4. ‘The Olympics, of Washington, D. C., went over yeaterday to the Union Grounds to try their luck with the Mutuals. Having given the veteran Atlan- tics a good shaking up, they were in hopes of being able to play the “‘Mutes” an cqually good game, but they were not Jong in finding their mistake; for the New Yorkers thrashed them from the word “Go,”” The game commenced a few minutes after three o'clock with the Mutuals at the bat, but they were disposed of for a “duck’s exg” in very short order, Hatfleld and Patterson going out at first and Eggier on the fly to Burrows, The Olympics were equally fortunate, Young, Leach and Hurley going out, the former and latter on the foul fy to Charlie Mills and Nelson respectively, and Glen on fair fly to Wolters. In the second inning Nelson retired at first, E, Mills and Martin each scored a ran, C, Mills was captured on the fy by Hol- lingshead, and Swandell was treated in like manner by Force, while the “boys with blue hose’ were treate: to another of those highly-scented but unmentionable animals. But it was in the third in- Ding thatthe “Mutes” knocked (he “stuffing” clean out of the Washiogtonians by their speudia batting. Hatileld, Patterson, Nelson, E. Mills and Charley Mills scored two runs each—the latter Individual m @ clean home run on a beautiful drive 0 left fleld—while the others each scored one, and thus ran up handsome score of fourteen runs, and disposing of the visitors with but two, which were carned by Young and Force. In thir toning the Mutuais made ome iirst base hits and eleven totais, Of course these runs were not all earned, but the majority of them were. The score Was now 16to2, andof course the Olympics gave ‘up ail hope, if they had any at first, of winning the game, although they still did Wheiy peat s° ghange the aspect of affairs, flofryytastan ing the condust of Leach, their if teh Who in the fourt innit { to pl because Ewell, the = ie fun of him, as he ex- ‘eased it. Immediately upon his ret to pay esterday, Norton, the Olympic’s captain, told jim they could very easily dispense with his ser- vices, whereupon he sluuk away, but not until two or three persons in the crowd had offered to buy him a tin whistle or a toy drum with which he could amuse himself until he gets home to ma. Glen, the sick man, was substituted for him, and with Norton pitching, Force on third, Burrows at short and len on first, the game moved slowly on. There ‘was, however, little of interest during the remainder of it. In the fifth inning Hollingshead, Burrows and Glen made a very . La play, capturing Hatfield and Swandell. the seventh and eighth Johnny Berthrong made two very brilliant catches im centre field. His play was superb during the whole game, and it is doubtful if ne has a superior as a centre fielder in the country. He ts a good bat- ter, @ very swift runner and is certain death to everything in the way of fy balls that come in his vicinity. Force, Hollingshead and Glen each played well, and on the part of the Mutes all did their share. Below 18 the score:— MUTUALS. o Players. U.RAB.T.PO.A, _ Players. POA.

His appointment this last time was made, he says, entirely without his knowledge or without even consulting him on the subject. ‘The opinion prevails that if Mr. Benner will only wait afew months longer, provided the democrats do not eect a thorough reorganization of the party and cleansing out of the material that chiefly comprises its present leadership, the repub dicans will appoint some person who will be lad to serve the city like a true radical patriot. r.

MONEY EASY, The offerings of money have been Jarger to-day than for some time past, and loans on call at higher than five per cent were somewhat exceptional.
