JOYCE has much pleasure in submitting F . to the notice of Sportsmen a greatly-improved Percussion Cap, for which a Patent was granted on the 3rd of April last, and which can be warranted as the best Primer for Detonating Guns ever manufactured, whether for the Army, Navy, or the Field. The principle on which these Caps are made differs materially front any hitherto adopted. In lieu of Metallic Foils or Linings, as they are termed, and other substaucesof an &wall; injudicious character, which cannot be consumed without the introduction of the most corroding materials, these Patent Caps have their detonating composition covered with a highly waterproof sub stance, burning with as much facility as the powder itself, and in no degree detracting from that certainty and sharpness of tire, as well as anti-corrosive property, so necessary for the convenience and comfort of those who use them. JOYCE'S PATENT CAPS are equally certain in all weather wet or dry, and, if firmly pressed down on the nipples. will close the aperture, and render the powder in the barrels air- tight, keeping it quite dry. Sportsmen are recommended to re load as soon as possible in misty and wet weather, otherwise the moisture deposited inside the barrel damps the charge, and occasions hang fires.
