Reception and Repairs—The New Monster Thirty-five Ton Gun—A Seven Hundred Pound Shot to be Sent ‘Into Fifteen Inch Plate—A New Lonpon, Sept. 1, 1870. fhe United States steam frigate Frankl, which arrived at Spithead on Monday, witn the flag of Rear Admiral 0, 8. Gilsson, has come into Portsmouty harbor, and Isto be docked to make good defects im her propeller. On running into Spithead she sa- Yated the garrison batteries, the Duke of Wellington, Gagship of the port, Admiral sir James Hope, and +_ the United Btates fag hoisted at the Consular Agent’s Tesidence, The salutes were returned from the bat- teries and the flagship, after which Admiral Glisson, With one of nis staif omcers, came into Portsmouth arbor, and landed at the dockyard at the King’s Stairs, where he was received by the naval and military authorities with the usual honors. ‘The gallant Admiral afterwards visited the real- ence of the general commanding the district in the ‘High street, Portsmouth, where he was received by Lieutenant General Lord Templetown, ‘Tuesday morning Sir James Hope paid a visit to Admiral Glisson on board “73 Franklin at Spithead, and, on his leaving tne irigate, he was saluted, which was returned by the fagsbip in the harbor.

He afterwards visited the boys’ stationary taining ship St. Vincent, and was received with the ‘asual salote, the United States ensign belong run up to the fore royal masthead. A ball has been given by Sir James Hope to Adm!- val Gugson and the oficers of the Franklin, and the arrival of the ship hay had g tendency to make the “Vown and barbéF quite gay. ~~" AN ARTILLERY MONSTER. ‘Yesterday morning I was present at the Royal Gun Factory at Woolwich, and witnessed the weld- ing together of the two largest sections—viz., the fourth and fifth—the breech piece coll and the trun- Bion 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 gun ever made, as it is anticipated that it will be capable of throwing a 700 pound shot through a fourteen and shree-quarter inch plate, of wrought iron. or armor Plate, and as fifteen inch is the maximum ‘of plating that it is considered can be aMxed w @ ship's side to allow of her being at all eMcient you will readily apprehend the interest manifested among the armor-plated shipbuilders, royal naval artillery aud engineer officers, as well as many otber scientific men. ‘The gun is to bea muzzle-loader, constructed upon the Fraser principle. The iron bars forming the breech piece, Iam informed, were six inches in di- ameter and 400 fect 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 rom zero at the breech to one turn in forty calibres atthe muzzie. 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 pest skill and work has been placed to secure eficiency. The first band, or ring, 13 the inner tubing of the gun, made of toughened steel; then the second—another chase of coiled iron placed over the first to strengthen the breech part of the ; then another coil aud the breech piece, and on outside of all these he trunni Bome fifty onief oMicers of the factory aoe ot a were employed y 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 mien to the admiration of all present. YIRE AND TONGS, AND MUSCLE AND SKILL, ‘The men, shortly before noon, dragged out of the furnace, with the aid of a huge pair of tongs, some tarty feet long and about Ofteen tons in weight, the gigantic iron bar, which was carried with the aid of achinery under the tenton “Ni 'th.’? ‘fhe forg- ing of the two sections were completed with won- @erful facility, only taking one hodr, and as they were only shrunk together before being placed in the furnace I think you will agree with me that the blending omerntion, Was very smart. After the bars bad been in: rated m one the red hot mags of “heat”? was left to cool, which will not be complete onul to-morrow, when it will then be trimmed to its shape by the lathe, Its extreme diameter was barely Give fcet. When the gun is finisned the complete valibre wit! be about eleven and one-half inches, and the length about sixteen sect. TORPEDOS. Torpedoes 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 lei 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 Untied States frigate Frankiin, hoisted their colors haif-mast high ou the official announcement of the death of Admiral ag oo being promulgated as a mark of tto the deceased commander. ‘This is oniy another instance of the cordial and friendly 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 Maniiest whenever @ United States ship of war visits any of the ports in Britain; 1t is not only notice- able between the officers of the two nations, but also among the crews. I am just told that the Royal Naval Club at Portsmouth (based upon the prin- elpié of the largest London clubs, and which has for its members nearly all the oficers 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 1n port, and thus making them honorary mem- bers pro tem. FOR OFFENCE. In conclusion, 1 might add that the only weapons England 1s possessed oi for offeusive purposes 1s the twenty-five Lon gun, with a calibre of twelve Inches, tiring a 600-pounder Pailiser sheil with a bursting charge of powder of rourtven pounds. The ten-inch eighteen ton gun, capable of throwing a “Paluser”? of 400 pounds, with a bursting charge of six pounds fourteen ounces of powder. The nine-inch twelve ton gun, throwing a “Palliser” of 250 pounds, with abursting charge of five pounds eight ounces of powder, and ihe eight-inch nine ton and seven-inch seven ton and six anda half ton guns, capable of turowing and bursting a proportionate weight with & proportionate bursting charge of powder, all of which are muzzie-icaders, rifled on the Woolwich system, the number of grooves varying from nine inches in the guns of the largest calibre to,a three- inch in the minimam, 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- ing at their headquarters, in Varick street, near Caml. At some personal inconvenience te 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 gratitude 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 io all their hearts he might perhaps nestle very close to the second. Mr. Young responded with an ‘unpromptu flood of thanks, and after greetings and social chat they all dispersed with pleasant memo- ries of the occasion. ‘rhe vase Is au 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 [ruit bowl, sus- tained by a siender column, su, pees by exquisitely ied and chased figures of Daphne and Psyche. ‘The ladies assured Mr, Young that their gratitude to him was boundless, and shouid he ever be @ can- didate for any oMice of honor at the hands of his fellow citizens they would exercise for bim all their auflueyce 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 barkeeper of the place aiso testl- 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 varkee which led the wets to disbelieve the story. They rendered a verdict without leaving thelr seats, and Mr. Fellows moved for sentence, Judge Bedford addressed the prisoner as follows:— Murphy, 1 do not see how the jury could have done otherwise than render a ver- dict of guilty promptly ou the evidence with- out leaving thelr seats. 1 agree 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 «is- reputable den, and that you were a constant cus- tomer there. The District Attorney knows as well asldo that itis one of the lowest dens in the city.

The Brooklyn Election Fraud Cases—The Convictions Affirmed by the General Term of the Supreme Court. The General Term of the Supreme Court, Second istrict, which met at Poughkeepsie in May last, have promulgated their decision in the Brooklyn election fraud cases, affirming the conviction of Barney Mahoney (whose case was @ test one) in the Court of Oyer and ‘Terminer. Mahoney was & 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 faise canvass of the vote in their dis- trict; ana Justice James Buckley and George Brown, of the Twenty-first ward, were convicted of refusing tw canvass the vote as the law prescribed. Judge Gilbert sentenced Mayo and Hannon w the peniten- tiary for three months each, Mahoney for thirty days, and Buckley and Brown to jail for ten days eac! When the cases were taken to the General Term that of Maboney was agreed upon asa test for the others, The same questions which were raised in that applied to the others. The counsel for the dee fendants argued upon the irregularity of the ee ceedings of the Grand Jury wnich 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 after Judge Barnard had leit the city and gone to New- burg and was holding court there. ‘I'he defendants’ counsel also contenaed they merely forfeited their aay as canvassers that if they failed to discharge heir duty. District Attorney Morris made a cogent argu- ment sustaining the convictions, and held that tt 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.

A CABBAGI Between one and two o'clock yesterday morning there came near being enacted a trageay at the little hamlet of Waverley, a mile or so out of New- ark, N.J. Last Saturday night Mr. G. C. Lewis, @ farmer, returned to his place there after a trip to Washington, and in the morning he discovered that 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, Charies Simoni, proposed to receive them. Shortly after midnight, Monday, Mr. Lewis, who was secreted in the bushes with his father-in- Jaw, observed two strange men, of large muscular bulld, enter the garden and proteed 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 @ twig ten inches from his cheek. The rascal Gropped like lightning immediately after. ‘wards, beers received in his side the contents of one barrel of Mr. Lewis’ shot gun. He was only winged, however, for in a jitfy he and nis compan- fon were scampering off out of sight. Mr. Lewis pursued but did not overtake them. The Newark police are on the qui vive for the miscreants, TESTAMENTARY CONTEST Iti 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 is contested on the ground of alleged insanity of the testator. The dec-ased, who was a resident of Yon- kere, died about six weeks ago, having bequeathed nearly all of the property to his son, John Busstog, 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 ie 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, fi his opinion, was per- fectly sane at the time the documentin question was executed. ‘The case was (len adjeurned for g fur- ther hearing. THE NATIONAL GALE Mutuals Vereus Olympics, ef Washington, D. C.—Easy Victory for the “Mutew? by a Score of 29 to 4. ‘The Olympics, of Washington, D. (., went over yesterday 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 equally good game, but they were not long 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 ezg” in very short order, Hatfleld ant 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 fly to Charlie Mills ana Nelson respectively, and Glen on fair fy to Wolters. In the second inning Nelson retired at rst, E. Mills and Martin each scored ao run, ©. Millis 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 tn the third in- ming thatthe “Mutes” knocked the “stufling” clean out of the Washingtonians by their spiendid batting. Hatileld, Patterson, Nelson, E, Mills and Charley Mills scored two runs each—the latter Individual making & clean home run on a beautiful drive vo left ld—while the others each scored and thus ran up handsome sovre o! fourteen and disposing of the visitors with but two, which were earned by Young and Force. In this inning the Mutuals made nine iirst base hits and eleven totals, Of course these runs were not all earned, but the wort d of them were. The soore was now 16 to 2, andof course the Olympics gave up all hope, if they had any at first, of winning the although they still did ange us ame, ihely best to ghi Spee cain "oa ween "Sade fan may Meet as dy be him, ex- fisthea it.

Glen, the sick man, was substituted for him, and with Norton itching, Force on third, Burrows at short and len on first, the game moved slowly on. There was, however, little of interest durmg the remainder of it, In the fifth inning Hollingshead, Burrows and Glen made a very gg Aye play, capturing Hatfield and Swandell. the seventh aud eighth Johnny Berthrong made two very brilliant catches im centre fleld. His play was superb during the whole game, and tt is doubtful if ne has a superior as a centre fielder in the country. He is a good bat- ter, a very swift runner and is certain death to everything in the way of fly balls that come in his vicinity. Force, Hollingshead and Gien each played well, and on the part of the Mutes all did their share.

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. The ‘stock brokers were generally and very readily sup- Died at five per cent and the government dealers at four per cent. There is no change to note in com- mercial paper.

Here it was reported that Bazaine had surrendered the garrison of Metz, and a decline to 113% ensued on the theory that Prussian victories favor a lower premium.

GOVERNMENTS FIRM. The government market was firm, with more ac- tivity. The improved feeling was due to the an- nouncement of an advance in London to 90 a 90%, the highest quotation made there since we reaction from .the first depression occasioned by the Buro- pean war.
