NAVAL AND MILITARY . Sir'William Armstkoxg , accompanied by the Select Committee of Woolwich Arsenal , went to Shoeburyness last week , and directed a course of experiments to test the merits of a fuse and improved shrapnelshell , his recent inventions . The issue of the experiments was favourable . Some of the shells were fired from a 12-pounder Armstrong gun , over a range of 3 , 000 yards . The mere contact with the surface of the water on which it alighted caused the desired explosion of the shell . An improvement has been made in the construction of the new French steam gunboats .

Prince Napoleon , much less M . Walewski , -was present . That the latter should be dispensed with , say the Parisians , no one wonders : he is the occupant of the Hotel des Affaires Etrangc-res ,. & c , but lias really as little to do with any serious question of politics as the statue of Spartacus in the garden of the Tuileries .
