RKFICRMENTS AT SHORBURYNESS. The Ordnance Select Committee have commenced an important series of trials with experimental grins at Shoeburyness, which are entirely distinct bun the experiments which have been going on for the hest three months under the direction of the speeial Committee appointed by the War Depart ment to consider the relative merits of the Arm stmeg and Whitworth systems of artillery. It is quite necessary to distinguish between the two opuses of experiments, as they are now being tarried on at the same time, and almost side by side. At the same time it will be well not to lose eight of the issue which is to come of the labours of the Special Committee—labours that, aa we can testify, have been carried on under circumstances often extremely taxing and arduous, but always in the best spirit of fairness and unbiassed investiga tion. The point this Committee are engaged in examining into is as to which of three systems of artillery is the best for the services and the eountry—whether the Armstrong breech-loader of Abe aseeisa the Whitworth gum, or the Arreaseng shunt gait It was concluded, and very naturally so, that these embraced the only kinds of ordnance which had been matured into a system; °there'll* we should have expected to find, not a special com mittee from the War Department to consider the Armstrong and Whitworth systems, but a sort of general competition of artillerists, whose preten sions were to be decided by this special committee. Zveryone at all acquainted with the matter knew, indeed, that there were half-a-dozen oe more in ventors ready with their guns, each peculiar in some way, and now it appears that these guns have been taken especially under the wing of the Ordnance Select Committee • they have been made in the royal gun foundry in ihe last most approved method adopted there, with steel inner tubes and iron coil for the outer part of the substance of the gun. All these methods of rifling and the corre sponding projectiles have been tried during the last four or live years, and had they shown any marked advantages surely they would have been brought to the front, as those of Sir William Armstrong and Mr. Whitworth have been. Theonlynovelty is in the make of the guns, and in this respect the trials, so far as they have gone, have not shown any improve ment • on the contrary, a decided inferiority to the Armstrong and Whitworth guns now being tried by the Special Committee. It really) sounds like a re vival of old war times to be talk ing again of the Lancaster gun ; but so it is, and this is one of the foremost guns in the new competition and, as it would seem, with much better credit than at SebastopoL This gnu is peculiar on account of its spiral eliptical bore. Commander Scott's, known as the eccentric rifling, is also by no means new ; while Mr. Buhley Britten's plan, proposed in con junction with Mr. Jeffery for using lead-ousted allot with a polygroove (15 groove) rifling, sounds still more obsolete. Then we have, by way of affording direct comparison, a Preach gun, which, as we have often 'aide is similar to Sir W. Armstrong's shunt gun, firing cylindro-conical shot and shell, having studs upon the surface to takethe grooves of the bore. All these guns are of the same calibre of 7 inches ; they carry 110 lb. shot, and weigh about 7} tons. There is one interesting remark, however, to be made of these guns in reference to the Lancaster gun; this is the only one that can be said to represent a 'phi of rifiiug equally applicable to the small or the large bore, as in the case of the Whitworth system. The other methods, in which may be included the Armstrong shunt plan, are all more or lees imperfect as to mechani cal principles, and depend for the amount of accuracy, range, and velocity which is obtained upon certain expedients, such as lead coating, soft metal studs, or projecting parts of the body of the shot, for taking the grooves of the bore, and giving the projectile the necessary twist or spin in its flight. The Wbitworth and Lancaster systems of riding, though very distinct, are both on the prin ciple of regular mechanical figures, and require neither lead coating nor brass etude. Therefore it would not have been surprising if Mr. Lancaster, in this new competition, had shown the superiority of his gun over the French, the shunt, Commander Scott's and Mr. Britten's gun. So far as the trials have gone, however, this has not been the case. Captain Scott's gun has proved the best of all with the three charges of 12 lbs., 20 lbs., and 25 lbs., the Lancaster being next, but as much as 170 yards short of the range of Captain Scott's gun, at 10 degrees elevation. The Jeffery-Britten gun and the so-called French gun were souompletely distanced in range and surpassed in accuracy that they are not likely to attain the privilege, to be ac corded to the best gun of the four, of firing at iron armour plates. The ranges of all, for equal charge'', are found to be below those obtained by the Arm strong and Whitworth guns, both 12-pounders and 70-pounders. The noticeable feature in these ex-' periments is the large charges of powder employed, the lowest (12 lbs.) being the full service charge of the Armstrong 110-pounder, and the highest more than double, vie., 25 lbs. Bain with this it will probably be found that neither in range, accuracy, nor penetration of iron plates will these guns equal the 70-pounders of the Armstrong and Whit worth systems with their comparatively low charges. The reason for prejudging the matter so far is that in each of the guns the pitch of the rifling is very slow and the projectile very short. The Lancaster has a spiral of one whole turn in 52 diameters, or about one-third of a turn in the bore ; the Boott has one turn in 42 diameters, the French gun one in 37 diameters, while the Jeffery-Britten gun has one in 115 diameters. The length of the projectile is in all not far different, and rather more than calibres ; Mr. Lancaster's is exactly 111 inches long, Captain Scott's 121. Now if any substantial advance has been made in rifled ordnance, it is, next to the construction of the gun of steel, in the elongating of the projectile and in the sharp twist given to it by the rifling. Mr. Whitworth arrived at the proportion of three diameters as the beat for small bores, with a twist of one whole turn in 20 inches, or about 1+ in the bore ; this is varied in the larger calibres, but the principle is maintained. Sir Wm. Armstrong also adopts to a great extent the same, his gun of largest calibre firing projectiles of considerably more than two diameters long, or 30 inches, the calibre being 13} inches. We can only suppose, therefore, that the Ordnance Select Committee have some notion that large charges of powder will make up for defective principles of gunnery, or these experiments would not have been instituted. They have as yet developed no new points, and will end with merely re-proving what was known before, that none of these guns offers an eligible system for the services. So that while the War Department is incurring enormous expense in the really important Armstrong and Whitworth in quiry, the Ordnance Committee are wasting money over their objectless experiments. One instance will suffice to condemn these guns as serviceable guns compered with the Armstrong and Whit worth guns under trial. It appears that all the guns show serum wear, although they have only fired 86 rounds. The Lancaster less than the others, but to the extent of 2-100ths of an inch, which sin these days considered a good deal, when the Armstrong and the Whitworth guns especially have fired their 4,000 rounds without much greater signs of injury. The Scott gun is worn iu the grooves 3-100ths of an inch, and also in the lauds, and the French gun in the same places still more, in thegreove to 15.100ths, and the lands 2-100ths. In milieu then of endurance these guns show a very decided inferiority to the standard promised as the result of the Special Committee, and it need scarcely be said that the quality of endurance, &atria paribus, is one that must stand I first in any estimate of a gun for the services. IThe Ordnance Select Committee, as if to [Stamped, id. Additional.] throw into the shade the proceedings of the special committee, have added a series of firings of the 600-pounder shunt gun to the trials of experimental gone above referred to. There is some sense in experiments which serve to test the principle of large guns, and to show what these enormous and costly ordnance are eapable of, and how far they can be worked by manual power, assisted with the ordinary mecha nical appliances of an artilleryman. Gigantic smoothbores were made long before the Americana thought of their slow moving but smashing guns, or Sir W. Armstrong designed the immense piece whose powers have now bean shown both in range and ac curacy, and in smashing in iron-plated ships. There is nothing the least unexpected as yet in the performance of the monster gun. As • shunt gun on a large scale it has acted precisely as might have been anticipated, and no one is disposed for • moment to doubt that if its shot or shell struck • ship it would do considerable damage. But what is not so clear is, whether this gun could be trained to hit • rapidly moving object like the Rolf Brake or ordinary gunboats, such as would be employed in pass ing channels, for which this kind of ordnance is proposed as suitable. Is 'the recent trials the gun was laid and aimed in about three minute', but this at from 2,000 to 4,000 yards involves rather a nice chance of striking the object, although the accuracy of the gun may be good. As to the de structive effect of its shot and shell, the Ordnance Committee seem to have gone upon a somewhat fallacious calculation in estimating this by the ob served effect produced with less than half charges at a close range of 200 yards. This is evidently humouring the gun on two weak points—its aim and its strength : the object easily hit at 200 with a low charge would perhaps be often missed with a full charge of 901 be. at 2,000 yards. However, granting the tolerably certain aim and the effect, while we have yet to know what can be done with guns of more moderate calibre, we discover every time this enormous gun is fire d some fresh increase of destruction to itself. This gun, which is entirely made of coiled iron, has from the very first began to show the sewation of the coils in the powder chamber, and now these fis sures, after firing 74 rounds in all, are from the 100th to the 50th of an inch in depth and from • quarter to two inches long. Considering that the cost of this gun was 4,0001., and that every round costs from lb& to 301., it already represents • con siderable investment, and before it has fired as many more shots it will have cost such a sum that if, as may be expected, it should be consigned to the museums, it will then indeed be a costly relic. Of course the next 600-pounder will be made of steel, as Sir W. Armstrong prefers this metal now ; it will thee cost more, but last longer, and by that time we shall be able to compare its effects with powerful guns of smaller calibre. The 600-pounder can only be regarded as an exceptional ordnance, the real guns of the service we imagine must still be sought in those of smaller calibre, and propor tionably far stronger, which have been submitted to the special committee. The field artillery and the corresponding armament of broadsides and cupolas, so lone as it can be made to muter iron ships, cannot but be provided from that system of construction, riling, and projectile which affords the greatest efficiency with this greatest economy. The Armstrong and Whitworth special committee have charge of these most essential points of inquiry, and judging from the important results already obtained they will not fail in any respect They have shown us that a field-gun can be bad that can either send its Shrapnel ballets through rope mantelets that defied the Scuisid rifle at Sober tovol, or explode its shell at a range of fin miles, firing into bodies of troops or an arsenal, and bear ing this usage as perfectly as a mortar would, and for thousands of rounds. This is what no field piece was ever expected to be capable of. We are justified in anticipating also that a gnu of the same kind will be found eligible for e and cupola armaments, and that these guns will prove superior in general efficiency and infinitely more durable than the largest ordnance contemplated by the Ordnance Select Committee.

He used to work all day a the shop-board at the beck of the premises is Threadneedle-street, along with another workman, a German like himself, named Haifa. Whether he got any *tiny employment during the week which elapsed between the time of his discharging !desalt and the day of the murder does not appear. On the night of the murder he let himself law the house in Old Ford-road, Bonner's-fields, by means of • latch-key, Mahout Maria o'clock. Mr. Blyth being in bad health had already gone to bed, as had the not of the family likewise. Muller lighted a nada, and great upstairs to bed. Nothing was beard either that night or sukeequently to excite suspicion that anything was wrong. He came down to breakfast as usual or the Sunday morning, and the family observed nothing the matter with his clothes to lead them to think that they had been washed, or that he bad been in a struggle or a row. He had previously intimated to Mrs. Blyth his intention to try to pt to New York or to Canada, when he said he bad some friends, sad he had in troduced to her his shopmate Hells, to succeed him as a lodger is the room which he occupied. On the Monday after the murder Hells cam* to the house and slept there that night. It was on the Monday afternoon that Mr. and Moe. Blyth saw that Muller had got • new watch-chain, and she jocularly remarked, "Some people get a in the world ; I do not know how they do it.' Muller made no reply to the remark, bat said that he had bought the chain. She saw that he bad • watch, but she had no opportuoity of looking at it closely. From that time until the Thursday whin he aft the country she observed DO alteration in his manner. She ha no real. Isaac of the subject of the murder having been alluded to by him.
