l Coi.‘r’.- lirzvonviiva Pis'roL.—l*lxperieiice :fl.l\VIl_)'S the loudest and most valuiible of prcounscllors, has at length prevailed upon ‘.the Iii-itisli government to adopt as an Eesttlltllsllctl weapon, we trust, for cavalry, artillci-y, and engineering corps of the BPIIISII army, and we hope soon to add I‘ royal navy and marines, Colonel Colt’s re- ipeating pistol. The-some stern monitor- ‘has, on a hundred different occasions, ;borne strong testimony to the unvarying ' success of Colt’s repeater, but 8. deaf ear has been turned to those oft-urged repre- l scntations. The counsel, which has always Qltad our wnrin support, has now had the ‘desired effect; and we have great pleasure in ridding, that an order has been received yby the pateiitec of CoIt’s pistol to supply, 1 without loss of another day, 9000 oftliese .powcrful weapons, whether for offence or defence. \\'ith the surpassing merit of iColt’s pistol. the public have long been ac- 'quaiiitcd. Their safety to the iiseris no isiiitill recomnieiidation, while their great range, the rapidity with ivliicli they deliver ‘their shot, and the certainty and celerity ,with irliicli they are loaded and primed, ‘arc qualities which, being well known, .‘4c:tl'Cl‘ly need another word to be advanced .iii their praise. The soldier on foot or ‘monntetl, the artillery man, who has so ‘ often to tlefviid as well as work his gun, the ,ininer in the trench, or the sentry on his solitary post, would no longer have to rely you his illinic, Brown Bess, or sabre, for defending himself, or for giving warning to his comrades that an enemy is at liand.— United Service Gazelle. A Cameras LEGION.-—Il. gives us much satisfaction to announce that the failure of the attempts which have been made to

America has at length induced her Majcsty’s Government to give a cordial response to the loyal offers of the Canadian people. It is intended to raise two battalions in

eight htiiidi-ed men. \Ve believe that the regiment will bear the name of the Royal Bi-itisli North American Regiment, and that the Coloiiclcy-in-cliief will be given to his Royal Highness the Duke ot' Cam- bridge. It will be composed of men of British and French origin, and it will be a representative of the two great Powers who are iioiv battling side by side in the Criiiiea.——Posl.

AN Incinnsr or WAR.-—A letter from Odessa says,-—“An affecting scene took place here a few days since. At the time of the attack of the 18th, a French officer, Captain M., and a Russian, Captain S., met and fought with the sabre; the letter received a severe wound and was carried off by his men. After remaining for a time in the hospital at Nicolajotf, he was brought here in order to take sea baths. Captain M. was also wounded and made prisoner, and after having been cured of his wounds at Cherson came to Odessa to await his ex- change. While walking in the street, he met his former antagonist supported on crutches; be recognised and immediately embraced him. Since that period, the closest intimacy has existed between them, and when Captain M. embarked on board the steamer to return to France,it was not with- out teurs on both sides that they parted. ”

Some crusty, rusty, fusty infamous cur- mudgeons, gave the following toast at a re- cent celebrutioii:-“Our fire-engincs—may they be like our old maids—ever ready, ne-

The '1'ime.r, in a. leader, says, nobody now doubts that we are for another winter caiupairrn in the Crimea. Experience for-bids us to e sanguine on the chance of the next bombard- ment: and assault. The Times still suspects that we are not re tired for the winter. It cannot also help t iin ing, that by forceof num- here we might press the siege rather closer, as the Russians, both in and out of Sebastopol, are desperate with starvation.
