It was supposed by many that the last day—the day of judgement—had come. SOthe one, in the consternation of the - hour, - moved an adjournment. Then there arose an old Puritan legislator, Davenport, of Stanford, who said, that if the last day had come, he desired to e fcitaid at his place, doing his duty, therefore, Mover:Mat candles be hitinght in, so that the Rouse could pro coed with its duty.

It Barre, an actor at Wood's Taeatre, charged with being a deserter from the army. He was sent to Chattanooga, tried by court martial, and Sentenced to be shot on the 6th of December. 'flare was simply an assumed name; under Which the young man has lived dace lie desertion from his :regiment— the 18th Michigan—about two years since, at Memphis, His real name is Oliver H. Wheeler. Wheeler was a young man not over twenty-one, of a good family in Michigan; and, with tine talents and no bad 'habits, had before him a promising future. He enlisted acme three years ago, and served eleven 'months, until the act of desertion at Memphis. It has not been customary to affix the death penalty for simple deser tion, when unattended with any °tilt r gross military offense, but Wheeler's of fense, as was in evidence before the court martial, was characterized by soinething more than simply deserting his command. He induced several of his comrades to desert With him, and, on leaving, Carried off some valuable equip ineritiiiit the shape of swords, pistols, etc. After deserting, Wheeler returned to tbe"ritage, playing at theatres in Bt. Louis, Louisville, Cincinnati, and with a litrrillintedinpany. He was acting in Whets Wcrsrin as' "buginess Darts" at Wodd's when arrested, and had previ inislY been engiged McVicker's. At Wood's 'he was a "Haley" in "ncle Tout); Cabin," mi at McVicker's he sustained the part of "Dolly" in "Lon don-Assurance,"and was looked upon AB an actor'of considerable promise. He Was hoarding at the Loyd House, on Randolph stmet, When a discharged sol dier of the fith'Mlehydan recognized him and . pointed him out to the military au thorities.

Smith, of Derby, wits mada;by order of the Navy Department, a few days since, at Derby, in this State. This trial was the concluding one of a series, and was made hy Commodore T. Hunt, of the Navy. The principle is such, that by means of a Jacket or case it is rendered possible to fire a bolt of a less diameter than the caliber of the gin, thus lightening the shot, and giving with the same charge of powder, im mensely greater penetrating power, and consequently much greater range, with less strain upon the walls of the gun The trial was made from a 100 pound Rodman rifle, which has been mounted at Derby, for the purpose of these trials. The target was placed one quarter 0! a mile from the gun, and consisted of laminated iron plates four and a half inches in thickness, bolted to a backing of eight inches of oak, and four feet of hemlock. This target was three feet wide and four feet in length. Besides this target there was .a screen of boards about eight feet square, on which was painted a bull's eye eight Inches in diti„m eter. These two targets it will be borne in mind, were for two different descrip tions of projectiles; the wooden screen being fired at first with common shell, in order to test the new packing or sa bot. Five shells were tired at an elevation of a trifle less than halt a degree; three of which struck the eight inch bull's eye, one of the others was about two feet above, in line, and the other about three feet below, a little to the left. The ex traordinary closeness of the shooting showed that the packing must have ta ken the grooves with the utmost exacti tude, thus securing the great object of all packing, the instantaneous and com plete filling of the grooves, preventing any loss of force by the escape of gas by windage, and securing the rotary motion to the projectile which ensures its correct flight. Heretofore, no packing has complete- ly attained all of these requirements, on several accounts; all of which are ohvi ated by this new mode of packing. Ou the completion of the trial of the wood en target, five sub calibre shots were tired at the iron target, at a distance ot one quarter of a mile and the elevation of the gun a half a degree. The first shot struck the target about four inch( s above the bull's eye, and penetrated the target and the backing, and buried it sell in the hill side. The second was attended with a similar result. The third fell short about three feet, missing the target.. The fourth and fifth struck and pierced the target and barking, tear. ing it in pieces and destroying it entire ly. The projectiles used were steel bolts, four and a half inches in dianie ter and about aixteen inches in length, tlat.•headed, and kept in place in the gun by means of a sabot or jacket, the parking being attached to the base ot the case. The weight of the bolt and case as fired was a trifle over sixty pounds for each stint, the charge of pow der being the regulation charge of ten pounds. Toe penetrative force of this project ile is without a perallel in the history off projectiles. On a previous trial at the same place; with the same gun, at the same distance, and using the same charge of powder, two of these aced bolts were fired at, and through a target composed of eight inches of laminated iron plates, twelve inches of oak back - ing, and four feet of hemlock timber The velocity was so immense that the bolt not Only went through the whole mass, but the case also went through the eight inches of iron and into the wool, where the bolt left it. One other shot was fired at the same target with the same result, which destroyed the target, rendering it useless for further trials. A few ot these projectiles were made for the large Ames gun which has been on trial for so long a time at Bridgeport, by General Gilmore and staff, and Com modore Hunt. This gun is by all odds the best which has ever been made, and owing to the immense charges of pow der used in proportion to the size ol the gun, it has almost been an impossibility to get any projectile which would bear the strain. Six of those projectiles were fired from the gun with charges ranging from twenty to thirty pounds of powder, with the most decided success. We understand that the extreme range of these projectiles was seven miles and a quarter, a mile and a quarter beyond the extreme range of any other projectile fired from this gun. A Dangerous Counterfeit A. new and dangerous counerfeit fifty dollar treasury note has made its ap pearance DEBCRIPTION. — The figure of "50" OD each end are very well executed, only being on a lighter color, and engine turning of somewhat coarser nature. The words on the top of the bill, "Pat ented April 23d, 1860, National Bank Note Company," are blotted and can not be distinguished. On the bank of the note, "legal tender" is very green —in the genuine hill some white is ob servable—in counterfeit none. The word "private is very badly done; the letter`Plooks like L inverted. One of the above hills was passed on Mr. Roberts, agent of Great Western Dispatch, but the party was found and arrested after some trouble and made to disgorge. lie left quite suddenly for the East. How PRYOR WAS CAPTURED —The Washington ,Ytar gives the following account of the capture of Roger A. Pry or—"An officer on picket duty noticing a man prowling in front of the picket line, drew a paper from his pocket and waved it to the rebel as a sign to come forward and "exchange," not for a mo ment suspecting who the individual was. Pryor seeing the officer waving the pa per, boldly advanced towards our lines, when the Union officer discovered that he was a rebel of rank, and instead of offering the paper for exchange, drew a pistol and presented it to Roger's head, at the same time requesting him to sur render, which he did without resistance' but was evidently a little crestfallen at being "taken in and done for" by a Yan kee. Pryor now belongs to the 7th Vir ginia cavalry, having been reduced to the ranks, it will be remembered by court martial for disobedience of orders. At the time of his capture he was at tached to General Lee's headquarters ss Lee's chief scout. THE foreign papers give account of "a very pretty quarrel" just commenced between Mr. Chas. Dickens and one of the chief coatributers to All the Year Round. A novel by Mr. Sala has been, as is pretty generally known, for some time in course of publication in the pages of that periodical, but some time ago a long interval occurred between the pe riods of the arrival of the different in stallments. A similar break having oc curred a second time, the conductors be came Irritated at the delay, and com missioned Mr. Halliday to finish the story thus interrupted. Mr: Halliday accepted the commission, and now has published some two or three chapters. In the meantime, Mr. Sala has sent oyer somtr_more MS., which; of couise, can not be 'used. There Will, probably; in consequence, be some employment for the legal profosaion. „ PtukbaringAttempt4 2 .our Raid ers to Destroy Hood's Pontoon. - Ffooktap Columbus Inquirer, Nev. 18. AMC; Nov. 9, 1804.—A bold and daring attempt was made a few nights ago to cut loose the pontoon bridge which spans the Tennessee river at this place. Eight Yankees procured a skiff several miles above us, and at nightfall descended the river for the purpose of severing then bridge. On their way - down - they pressed a Mr. Pedan, a good and substantial Secesh, into their ser vice as guide. At this place the river is very wide, and we did not have pon toons sufficient to reach from bank to bank. We were therefore forced to the necessity of resting the north end of the bridge upon an island, and from them built a trestle work to the opposite shore. Mr. Pedan, knowing that be tween the island and the north bank of the river this trestle work existed, when nearing Florence, turned the party into the cut-off. They were very much sur prised to.flnd the bridge, but Mr. Pedan assured them that the pontoons were be low the piers of the railroad bridge. They floated on down until they struck the piers, Here, they were discovered by our pickets, and were immediately fired upon. The party abandoned the boat, but Mr. Peden jumped in the riv er and made to the shore. By aid of the dense undergrowth, every one of them escaped. Mr. Pedan paddled ashore and gave himself up. His explanation as to how he became connected with the party was perfectly satisfactory to General Hood, and he was immediately released. ills statement was that the object of the ex pedition was to cut the pontoons loose, so as to cut off all communication with the south bank of the river, thereby iso luting one corps of our army, and conse quently its capture. The scheme was a bold one, and would have been complete. ly successful but for the presence of mind and coolness of Mr. Pedan. The same correspondent writing from the same place on the 10th inst., says: Another bold attempt was made last night to destroy our pontoon bridge. The night was intensely dark, and a good deal of rain was falling. The guards on duty at the bridge could scarcely see each other more than live steps apart. The Yankees made one lick with a hatchet upon the cable to which the boats were attached; the blow severed all the strands but one. The guards heard the blow and darted to the cable before they could repeat the lick There were three of them engaged in the undertaking. The guard captur ed them before they could get away. John Mitchel and Ex-Governor Foote in a Duel. In Richmond, on the 23d inst, John Mitchel. the Irish refugee, and ex-gover nor Foote, of Mississippi, were arraigned before the Mayor to answer a charge of preparing to engage in a duel. Judge Swan was also called up to answer for conveying lffitchePs challenge to Foote. Several witnesses were called, from whose testimony it appeared that the difficulty was caused by a newspaper ar tide, severely reflecting upon Foote, calling him a "reconstructionist," and recommending his expulsion from the rebel Congress. This article was puh lished in toe Richmond Examiner or No vember 22.st e , Mr. Pollard, of the Exam iner, testifies that he called upon Gov• ernor Foote and introduced Judge Swan. The Governor refused to recognize that individual, saying he was no gentleman, whereupon Swan assaulted him with an umbrella. Foote then drew a revolver, but the parties were separated by the interposition of those present A chal lenge was afterward sent by Foote; but he, together with Swan and Mitchel, were brought before the Mayor, and gave security to keep the peace for twelve months in the Commonwealth of Virginia. It was not proved that Mitchel wrote the article, hut he and Foote tried to fight it out Lill the Mayor interfered. The Moni• ore If we may place any reliance on the declarations of acknowleaged reports, the monitors so far as they have been tried, have proved a failure. When we regard the immense cost at which the vessels were constructed, we connot but regret that so much money has been squandered on hazy dreams and unwar anted experiments. The first efforts were wholly tentative, and were received with the indulgence generally consider ed due to untried attempts. But skill does not seem to increase with experi ence, no new monitor has proved supe rior to its successor, and the last one— the Dictator—which was heralded with more boasts of certain success than any other, has just proved the most signal failure of all. Monitore constitute a new era in the Administration of Mr. Welles, and his vanity at the novelty of the invention renders him obstinate in adhering to plans, which by this time he has dream ed himself into the belief to be the crea tion of his genius. Expenditure of the public money he does not bring into his calculations; but repeated failures should open even his dreamy eyelids. Red hoeffer and his disciples have long since resigned all hopes of producing the per petual motions. IN the diplomatic correspondence just published in Paris, M. Drouyn de L'huys explains the obligations which, according to the French Cabinet, the re• cent convention regarding Rome impo ses upon King Victor Emanuel. The Italian Government is to be restricted from employing, among other "violent means," against the Pope, "the maneu vers of revolutionary movements," and the "moral means" are to "consist sole ly in the forcbs of civilization and pro gress," while the only "aspirations" to be considered legitimate by the Court of Turin are to be "those whose object is the reconciliation of Italy with the Papa cy," The transfer of the Italian capi tal from Turin to Florence is to be "a serious pledge given to France;" and "to suppress this pledge would be to de stroy the contract." Finally, "the event of a revolution breaking out spon taneonsly at Rome is not foreseen by the convention;" and "France reserves her liberty of action for this eventually," while the Italian cabinet is to follow the policy of Count Cavour, who "declared .that Rome could only be united to Italy and become the capital with the consent of France." A DUTCH bark which arrived at Bos ton from St. Thomas, W. 1., yesterday, reports having, in latitude 32 08, longi• tude 73, fallen in with a schooner rigg• ed propeller of about four hundred tons, painted white, and having two funnels. The steamer, which was of course a rebel pirate, at first showed the Ameri can colors, but afterwards hoisted the rebel flag. On leaving the Dutch ves sel, the piratical cruiser steered off, un der sail, in a southwest course.

He always kept a demi john of good Jamaica in his private of fice for his particular friends.' The Judge had noticed for' Some limp that on Monday morning Jamaica was considerably lighter than he had left it on Saturday night. :Another 'tact - "had established itself in his mind. His son Sam was missing from the parental pew in church on Sundays. One Sunday af ternoon Sam came in and went up stairs heavy, when the Judge addressed him thus: "Sam, where have you been?" "To church, sir," was the .prompt . re- Ply. "What church, Sam?,' "Second Methodist, slr." "Had a good sermon, Sam?" "Very powerful, sir: it quite stagger ed me." "Ah! I see," said the judge, "quite powerful." The next Sunday Sam came home rather earlier than usual, and apparently not so much "under the weather." His father hailed him with, "Well Bam, been to the Second Methodist again, to day?" "Yes, sir." "Good sermon, my boy?" "Fact was, father, that I coald'nt get in; the church was shut up and a ticket on the door." Sorry, Sam; keep on going—you may get good by it yet." Sam says that on going to the office for his usual refreshment, he found the "John ' empty and bearing the follow ing label: "There will be no service here to-day; the church is temporarily closed." Shocking Case A. shocking case of parricide occured last night in the town of Parma, in this county. Philip Ploss, an elderly farmer and respected citizen, was killed by his son Albert, a young man of 22, who is a mute, and suppoSed to be deranged.— The boy left home and came to the city a few days since. On Saturday his fath er came here, found him at a relative's, and took him home. The young man was sulky and evidently in a bad frame of mind. Last night, after the family had retired, Mr. Floss heard his son going up and down stairs, and suspect ed that something was wrong. He rose from his bed, and while in the act of. lighting a candle, the son stabbed him in the chest and tied from the house. The weapon used was a common case knife ground to a point, and the wound in flicted was very severe. Mr Ploss fainted from the loss of blood, and saw that his end was near.— He called assistance, made his will and expired in a few hours. The son mounted a horse alter com mitting the deed and rode away. He came to the city, for he was seen this forenoon riding the horse he took, up Allen s'reet. This young man was educated at the Deaf and Dumb Asylum in New York. He has been subject to fits of derange ment and was for a time confined in the 'unatic asylum. He has a sister, who is also a mute, married and residing near her father's place in Parma. He is one of three mute children. The young in:in will b, arrested without difficulty, and Kill no doubt be sent to an insane asylum. There is little doubt about his condition of mind when he committed the dreadful deed.

THE NEW BRITISH CONFEDERATION. —lt seems that the people of the British North American Provinces are not to be consulted in regard. to their consolida tion into one grand federative Union. The Toronto Leader saya the measure will be carried into effect without its be ing submitted to a popular vote. In an swer to inquiries put to him at a dejeun er given to the delegates at Toronto, the Hon. George Brown made a specific de claration to that effect, and in his paper, the Globe, a number of articles have since appeared confirming it.. The con sequence is universal Indignation and discontent on the part of the people of the province, and a determination not to allow a measure of such importance to be consummated without their having something to say in the matter. MAJOR GENERAL WALLACE ROBBED. —Shortly after six o'clock yesterday morning, a young man of prepossessing appearance entered the Eutaw House, just as the night watch was being re lieved from duty, and, walking about quite leisurely for a few minutes, ascen ded to the second main story and enter ed one of the rooms occupied by Major General Wallace, commanding this De partment. Intent upon robbery, he ab stracted from the pantaloons of the General his portruounaie, which con tained about twenty-five dollars, and his movements awakened the General, who inquired why he entered hit room. The scoundrel merely replied by throw ing the trowsers•iu the face of the Gen eral, and, rushing out, locked the door, the key of the room having been left on the outside of the door.
