Bin Wijlliam AitMSTRONOr , accompanied by the Select Committee of Woolwich Arsenal , -went , to Shoeburyness last week , and directed a c ourse of experiments to test the merits of a fuse and improved shrapnelshell , his recent inventions .

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 . After various trials it has been determined to cover the porthole with an iron shield . Even with this additional weight it is said that these boats will not draw more than three feet of water .

Prince Napoleon , much less M . " WaleWski , was present . That the latter should be dispensed with , say the Parisians , ho one wonders ; he is the occupant of tlie Hotel des Affaires Etrangeres , &c , but has really as little to do with any serious question of politics as the statue of "Spartacus-in the garden of the Tuilcries .

IRELAND . Tub'Maraule of Watorford has mot with his death , In tho prime of life by ( iccjident . The Kilkenny Moderator says j— " This melancholy evont took
place on Tuesday afternoon , while hunting with Ins own hounds . In ' leaping a small fence , not much more than two feet high , the marquis ' s horse missed its hind-legs on the bank and dropped his fore-legs into a small cut on the other side , which threw the animal on its knees / so that his -lordship was thrown Off on his head , apparently without much force or violence . He lay on liis face , hishunting ^ cap having a dent in the top , but there was no cut or bruise on the head ; he never after spoke . He lived about ten minutes . Death resulted from concussion of the brain . The marquis d y ing without any issue , his vast estates descend to his brother , the _ Rev . Lord John Beresford , who holds a large living in the arch-diocese of Armagh . '' in At Belfast the grand jury have found true bills against all the accused in the Phoenix club Cases . ¦
° The vacant judgeship of the Landed Estates Court , it is said , will be conferred upon Mr . Conway . Dobbs , the member for the borough of Camckfergus . The place was offered in the first instance to Mr . Jonathan Henn , Q . C ., chairman of the county of Donegal , but was refused by that able lawyer on the ground of advanced age . The Weekly Register publishes the names ot the Irish members who intend to vote for the second reading of the Government Reform Bill . We find in the list such names as Mr . Brady , Mr . Maguire , and the O'Dpnoghue . The trials of the Phoenix conspirators > are still going on at Tralee and Belfast . The adjourned assizes at Tralee began on TVednesday , and Daniel Sullivan was arraigned to take his trial for the second time . The court refused to postpone these
political trials , and a good , deal of ar gument was gone into about the legal composition of the jury . The Crown ordered fifteen jurors to stand aside , and the trial proceeded , with what result cannot yet be known . A batch of more than a dozen prisoners were put upon their trial , on Thursday , and in the absence of the- 'Attorney-General the case against them was stated by Sir Thomas Staples . The witnesses called were informers , whose cross-examinations were prolonged and minute . ¦ _ The visit of Signor Gavazzi to the town of Galway , where the population is almost exclusively of the Roman Catholic persuasion , has been followed by a very disgraceful outbreak of religious fanaticism , which at one time assumed a very alarming aspect , and it appears that up to yesterday the excitement had not altogether subsided .
