MIL CHARLES KENT'S NEW POEMS. Just published, _ . DR EAM LAN D. With other Poems. By W. CHARLES KENT, Barrister-at-Law. Fenp. Svo., price ss. "Mr. Kent has undeniable merits—warm and high-toned feeling, a pleasant combination of grace and humour, and no small power to individualise. Pope at Twickenham' is a cabinet picture. Marianne' will commend itself to all mothers by its gush of parental tenderness, and its acquaint ance with baby wiles and mysteries. Fructidor' shows what Dutch fidelity of word painting the author can master when he tries. His fruit is as vivid and well characterised as if Lance had painted it."—Athenteum. "The charm of Mr. Kent's poetry, as it is the first condi tion of success to all poets, Is that lie is in sympathy with his subject and not only with himself ; that he is truly poet and not egotist. Brit it is by no means his only merit. He is a mas ter of versification. The flow o his verse is smooth and me lodious, and enriched with a copious and ornate vocabulary. Shelley at Marlow' is a painting exquisitely delicate. The vision of Shelley with which Mr. Kent presents us is almost perfect. 'DREAMLAND ' is a work conceived in a noble spirit, and executed with scholarly taste, frequently with flashes of true poetic inspiration. Ihe Dying Bridegroom' is distinguished by a genuine pathos, which leads us to be lieve that Mr. Kent would succeed eminently in some story of the affections."—The London Review.

By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E., And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be four d in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—liledical Circular.

Croft, from Bermuda on the 19th ult., arrived in Plymouth Sound yesterday. She brings Captain Sotheby, C. 8., the commander, 30 officers, and 590 men belonging tp the Conqueror, 99, which was wrecked on the 29th December. The remaining 20 officers and 210 men were to leave on tl'o Ist inst. in the frigate Diadem. A court-martial, over which Capt. llutton presided, held an inquiry, which was continued for eight days. It terminated en the 15th ult. Capt. Sotheby, Lieuts. St. Clair and Tornkins, and Mr. Hay, a midshipman, were acquitted; Lieut. Gammell, the officer of the watch, was ad monished ; and Mr. Thain, the ma,iter, WC'S repri manded. The loss was attributed to insufficient allowance for leeway and to a westerly current. There was no efficient night-glass on deck, and a want of promptness in putting the ship about on the appearance of land. The Cleopatra left at Ber muda her Majesty's ships Nile, Aboukir, Agamem non, Hero, Inamortalite, Melpomene, Diadem, Grey hound, Spiteful, Terror, Nimble, Landrail, Nettle, Onyx, and the Cossack, which arrived on the 19th. The Medea sailed on the 15th Feb. for New York, and the Rinaldo on the 19th for the Chesapeake. The Orlando, Liffey, and Orpheus were expected from Halifax. Grey, Mr. Rolt, Captain Ford, Mr. Scott Russell, Mr. Laird, Mr. Mare, Mr. Samuda, Mr. Fairbairn and Mr. Thomas Fairbairn, Mr. Langdon, &re. The target was placed close on the right of the Warrior target, which, all rusty and dinted here and there in rough deep holes, showed signs of the punishment it took so bravely last October. The guns, six in number, were placed at a distance of 200 yards from the target, and consisted of one 12') and three 100 pounder Armstrong guns, with two 68-pounder guns for solid shot. The first experiment made was with three 100- pounder Armstrongs, with 121 b charges, and shells filled with sand, weighing 1041 b. each, and with two 68-pounder guns, with 161 b. charge, and shells filled with sand, weighing 501 b. each. These five guns were fired at minute intervals, striking the target on the lefthand of the port, and sending the fragments of the broken missiles flying off with a terrific hum through the air. Not much interest was felt in this first attempt, as, judging by all previous experiments, it was thought almost certain that no damage could be done. Yet it is not too much to say to those accustomed to see the effect of sand shell on targets of such strength and magnitude, this first result was considered conclusive as to its weak ness. An examination after these five shots were fired showed that no less than eight of the main boltheads which secured the plates had given way. This was such a serious defection that it could only be accounted for by supposing that the screw nuts fastening the plates at the back of the target had been drawn up too tight. The nuts were accord irgly slackened down, and a packing of lanyard put between the armour plates and screw nuts of many of the chief bolts to deaden the concussion, and the trial was proceeded with. The same guns were again fired with the same charges, but this time with live shell, the Armstrongs having a burst ing charge of 81b., and the 68's a charge of 21b., with pillar and concussion fusees. Each shell ex ploded with a tremendous crash, and four more of the armour-plate bolts were broken at the back of the target, snapping off as short as if they were cast steel. The indent made by the shells was not very much, though apparently more than was made by the same missiles on the hammered plates of the Warrior target, and on both the blows of the 68- pounders had told with a severity in proportion to the increased initial velocity of the smooth-bore over the Armstrong guns. The latter have a slow velocity of 1,100 feet per second, and maintain this rate for a long time, while the former start at once at the rate of 1,650 feet per second, but, after the first 300 yards, lose their -velocity -with every 100 yards traversed beyond the pointblank range. Un. der this experiment one of the plates, which had been previously struck by the sand-shell on the left of the port, had buckled out about an inch and a quarter, and the whole appearance of the target showed that it could not stand long. The firing was then continued with one 120-pounder Arm strong, with a 201 b charge and 1401 b solid shot, three 100-pounders, with 141 b charge and 1101 b solid shot, and one solid 68-pounder. The result of this trial was almost conclusive. The 140-pounder struck with a terrific blow between the edges of the top and middle plates, making a deep dint. The second struck on precisely the same spot, deepening still further the dint, breaking the fib res the iron, and cracking the top and middle plates up to the nearest bolt-heads. The third shot struck in the middle plate, but the fourth hit again exactly in the same spot where the first and second had gone before, and with a crushing noise went right through the target, leaving a rugged, large, irregular hole, which, if made in a vessel at or near the water-line, would have caused a formidable leak. The shot penetrated not only the plate, but the strap of wrought-iron behind the bolts, nine inches wide and three-quarters of an inch thick, and beyond this again bent one of the main ribs outwards. The frac ture of the iron showed that the iron itself wee of excellent quality, but there was evidently not the same compactness that is produced by hammered plates, and the rust was distinctly visible between the layers of the iron. Eight more bolts, too, went at this trial, breaking as short as the former had done, but only one of the rivet heads started. It was an ex traordinary piece of ill-luck for this target to get three shots in succession in its weakest part, but so it did actually happen, and the last went through. The next trial was made with three 100-pounders throwing solid cast-iron shot of 2001 b, with 101 b of powder. These all hit in the left hand side of the target, buckling out the plate they struck till the ends projected nearly a foot, and destroying all, or nearly all, of the remaining bolt heads in the other plates. This ended the first portion of the experi ments, which, when against targets, are always made at Shoeburyness with shots of increasing weight fired singly, and then the same charges fired in salvoes together. But it was seen, after the last trial, that it was useless to proceed with the salvoes ; for as nearly all the bolt heads retaining the plates had been broken off, it was evident that the first salvo would bring the whole mass to the ground. The firing was therefore discontinued, and the target thus practically struck its flag at the conclusion of the first half of the experiments. The trial, on the whole, was considered unsatisfactory. It was admitted on all hands that the target as con structed had most undoubtedly failed. But the chief " iron men" attributed this failure partly to defects in the mode of fastening and partly to the plates used being rolled instead of hammered. The sup porters of the teak backing, on the other hand, at tributed the failure wholly to the absence of timber betweon the armour and the skin, to distribute and theirtributethe force and deaden the ja r u p on the plat fastenings. These gentlemen seem to have much reason on their side when they pointed to the War riorri n target, w hich had gone through every ordeal l g n early two days' pounding, and was still beyond n beyond all comparison more perfect than the iron one, which had broken down in little more than an hour's firing. There is no doubt bet that Mr. Fair bairn's target was disproportioned in the strength of its fastenings. It was suggested that a " washer" between the screw heads of the belts and the armour plating of a softer metal, such as lead or copper, might have saved the bolts themselves from break ing, and that a packing of tarred felt between the plates and the ribs would have deadened the concus sion as much as timber. These maybe worth trying, though we think, with all - deference, that nothing cheaper and more effectual will be found than the timber backing. The chief value of these experi ments, however, is not so much to ascertain the amount of iron required to resist the shot, as to find out what description of fastenings will keep the plate in its position when re peatedly struck. The fastenings are , in fact, the ontlnyvgurlenaetradbiffilecuirlotyn in the way of mak in g p erfectly frigates. We venture to think that bolts of iron might do the work. W e don ' t sa y the y w w o ir u e ld, ropeb utas every other description of bolt has been tried, and failed, it would be worth while ex perimenting to see wh at these could effect. They m ight be fastened at the back by, driving an iron nail-shaped wedge into the centre of the rope, and then fusing and welding the wires into a rivet head over this ag ain.

THE SUN, LONDON:, FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 7, 1862. THE INSURRECTION 1N GREECE• (Frpin the Levant Herald of Feb. 26.) ATHENS, FEB. 19. The comedy of the insurrection has developed rapidly since my last, and appears now to have so nearly reached its denouement that the failure of the conspiracy may, I think, be fairly foretold. On the 15th the King, accompanied by M. Botzaris, went to Corinth, where a strong force of royal trocps was rendesvouzing before marching onArgos and Naup lia, but he returned on the following morning to the capital, where everything continues quiet. On the 17th an advance was made from Corinth, and after a short resistance on the part of the insurgents in the defiles between that town and Argos, Col. Hahn made good his approach to within a couple of miles of the latter town, where he encamped for the night. Yesterday he entered Argos some hours after a strong party of the rebels evacuated it, taking with them into Nauplia a half battery of artillery and a large convoy of provisions. It is said that a large proportion of the inhabitants of Argos are favour able to the insurrection, and that several arrests have been made in consequence, but no military execu tions that I can hear of have taken place. The policy of the Government in fact seems to be wisely conciliatory instead of vindictive, and as soon as the insurgents see that their success is even doubt ful—through want of general support—it is more than probable that they will offer to lay down their arms on the condition of an amnesty, which will in all likelihood be accepted. A telegram from Corinth of this morning indeed already reports that this is the beginning of the end, three of the principal rebel officers having, it states, offered their own and their men's submission to Colonel Han on these terms. Still, the insurgent force in possession of the Nauplia forts is strong, and stores of every kind are abundant ; but it is said here that the leaders have no concerted plan of action, and are already quarrelling among them selves. Those in command of the smaller force in Tripolitza are said to be in a similar state of dis union, and, as the inhabitants of that district are believed to be hostile to the movement, the capture or voluntary submission of this party is considered imminent. Here in Athens, as I have said, all is quiet. It is believed, however, that the conspiracy had friends and accomplices in higher regions than those to which the persons mentioned in my last as having been arrested belonged ; but the prematureness, it is generally believed, of the outbreak at Nauplia prevented any overt action, and nothing of this kind, therefore, has occurred. It is said that the plan of the conspirators was to assassinate the King at a Court ball, which was to have been given on the 15th, but that the rumour of some compromising correspondence having been seized at the Post-office led the Nauplian chiefs to precipitate action, and hence their outbreak a couple of days before that fixed for the tragedy at the palace. The Precurseur of Athens publishes the follow- , ing address of the King to the troops at Corinth, on their departure for Argos : " I have learnt with profound grief," said his Majesty, " that men to whom I do not wish to ac cord the honourable title of soldiers which you bear, that these men, I say, have tarnished by revolt their military honour. They have thus become perjurers to the Constitution and laws, which, in the interest and for the safety of the country, im pose as a first duty on every soldier fidelity and submission to the King, the supreme chief of the army. " in calling upon you to reduce to obedience these perjurers, I have confided to you the honour of the Hellenic army ; by your valour and fidelity you will wash away the stain which they have at tempted to fix upon themselves. " I am happy to announce that my entire faith ful people have unanimously offered to co-operate with you in the struggle to firmly establish institu tions which they regard at their just value as the surest guarantee for their present well-being and for their future glory." The Commander - in-Chief of the army, General G. Hahn, replied in the following terms in the name of the troops :—" Sire,--I partake, with all the officers placed under my orders, the indignation expressed by your Majesty against the perjurers. Turning to the officers present, he asked them,— " Gentlemen, is this so ?" A unanimous reply in the affirmative was given. He then continued,— "In guaranteeing the fidelity of the army under my command to its supreme chief, I have the con viction that it will give me fresh proofs by its valour, and at the price of its blood, in favour of tranquillity, of order, and of the august throne of your Majesty." The speech was warmly applauded by the officers, who then gave some hearty cheers for the King. arrival were seized by Moorish soldiers, under the direction of the United States Consul, placed in irons and imprisoned in the Consul's house. These gen tlemen themselves had of course no suspicion that such an act could be perpetrated in the territory of a neutral Power, or they would never have exposed themselves to the treatment they have experienced. Their surprise at the position in which they find themselves is very generally shared by the public, and it may be as well, therefore, to give some ac count of the circumstances which explain it. With Morocco, as with most Mahomedan countries, Chris tian Powers have stipulated that their subjects shall not be amenable to the laws of the Moslem, but re- main under the jurisdiction of the representative of their own Government. No provision could be better calculated to Prevent the Sultan being em broiled with foreign States. Each of the latter being left at liberty to deal with its own subjects resident in his dominions, a fruitful source of complaint and troublesome discussion is %t once removed. Even the determination of nationality in individual eases does not give trouble to the Moorish authorities; for the representatives of the Christian Powers investigate this question themselves, and each is, of course, careful to prevent any subject of his own Government being placed under the jurisdiction of another. It can be easily understood then, how, under this arrangement, the Moorish authorities of Tangier, who have little knowledge of, and less in terest in, the rebellions and revolutions of Christen dom, should, on the requisiton of the American Consul, have lent the assistance of the Moorish sol diers, as a matter of course, and without any sus picion that the affair was of more importance than the arrest and imprisonment of a couple of disorderly seamen. The Sultan, who is still smarting from the collision which he vainly strove to avert with owe e; r y w a i c l t l, that may result in a doubt, ~be most o n anxiousChr i t s o t a a n P avoid id every difficulty with another. When he was lately in formed that various independent States in Italy had passed as a united kingdom under the sceptre of Victor Emmanuel, he replied that the affection would, for the single Italian f h u e t u h raed felt,b be a f o l l r e the on e separate d S o t n a t e thes kingdom. In the same spirit, no doubt, His Sheri fian Majesty, when he hears of the mighty struggle carried on beyond the Western waters, will be pre pared to retain for the United States, if they remain united, the full measure of his love, or to apportion it impartially among the several Confederations, should the contest result in dismemberment. Un fortunately, however, this calm and lofty spirit of universal benevolence cannot help the Sultan much in his present difficulty. The acts of the belliger ents themselves have imposed on him the necessity of deciding on the course he must adopt towards them. In his desire to be in amity with all the world, the Sultan would probably follow the policy of rigid neutrality observed by European States. But if those States, with all the light thrown upon the principles of international law by writers of authority, and with precedents to guide them in the application of those principles, still find it not so easy to define what is a strict neutrality, what must be the difficulty of a Government like the Moorish, ignorant of the very elements of international law ? Unfortunately, too, the very nature of the perplexity m ay deprive the Sultan of the assistance he would derive in other questions from the opinions of the European representatives, since the requirements of a strict neutrality would possibly prevent them affording any counsel in the matter. The relative positions of the United States and Morocco in this business seem similar to those of Austria and Turkey after the suppression of the Hungarian rebellion in 1849. Turkey, like Morocco, has conventions with the Christian Powers, by which each or the latter States has established tribunals for the trial of its own sub jects residing in Turkish territory. Austria and Russia, relying on such conventions, demanded the surrender of the Hungarian refugees who had sought an asylum in Turkey, but the demand was indignantly rejected by the Turkish Government, and Kossuth, it will be remembered, afterwards quitted Turkey in a United States' vessel of war. In one point the position;:of Morocco differs from that of Turkey in 1849. Hungary had been crushed by the combined efforts of Austria and Prussia, and could not have exacted retribution for the treatment of her sons if Turkey had surren dered them. It was the more creditable, therefore, inithe Turkish Government to resist the pressure of its powerful neighbours, and to vindicate its right to shelter political refugees. On the other hand, the civil war in America still continues, and should the Confederate States succeed in severing their connection with the North, it is certain that they will call Morocco to a sharp reckoning for the im prisonment or ill-treatment of Southern citizens." The Chronicle of the 27th says : The lest accounts from Tangiers state that- the officer of the Sumter and the late United States' Consul at Cadiz were still imprisoned in the Con sulate of the United States. The latter had made an unsuccessful attempt to escape. It appears that their landing at Tangiers was accidental. They were passengers to Cadiz in the French steamer Ville de Malaga, which touched at Tangier on her way, and the gentlemen who are now imprisoned merely landed to take a walk through the town, leaving their luggage on board the steamer. Whether the Moorish Government will insist upon setting the prisoners at liberty or leave them in the custody of the United States' Consul must depend, we should suppose, on the nature of the understanding existing between the Moorish Go vernment and the representatives of Christian States. In every independent State the power of placing restriction on personal liberty is an attri bute of the sovereign authority. The Sultan has chosen, in order to avoid matters of dispute with Christian States, to delegate this power to a cer tain extent to the representatives of those States, leaving each to deal, within certain limits, with the subjects of his own Government. Now, if the Sul tan has by treaty stipulations permanently divested himself of this sovereign attribute, and permitted Christian States to have the absolute control, under all circumstances, over their own subjects resident in his dominions, such an engagement would vir tually amount to a treaty for the extradition of all offenders, and unless he has made the reservation so scrupulously maintained in all ext r adition trea sthieasllbet not w include political eencivilised offences, Powers, that its provisions cases like the present might fall within its scope ; but, on the other hand, if, as we think more likely to be the case, the delegation of a certain portion of his sove reign power by the Sultan to the representatives of foreign States does not rest upon any written con tract, but is merely a convenient expedient to in sure his keeping on friendly terms with Chris tian States, it is, we think, clear, that the Sultan retains the right of regulating, limiting, and con trolling that power for the exercise of which he is responsible. Now, we believe th a t th e co nsular jurisdiction in Morocco was established to take cognisance of offences committed in the country, and not for those committed beyond the limits of the empire. We believe, moreover, that the Sul tan in consenting to this jurisdiction had no inten tion to weaken or destroy—and has not, in fact, weakened or destroyed—the right to make his territory a n inviolable asylum for persons charged with political offences—a right which every independent State makes it a point of honou r to guard so jealously. If this view be cor rect, and if the United States consul in Tan giers has,through the inadvertence of the local autho rities, obtained the assistance of the public force to capture and bring within hi s j ur i s diction per sons not lawfu ll y subject to it, the Moorish Govern ment will probably vindicate the infringement of its rights by insisting on the liberation of the pri- soners. di 3 o'clock. —At the moment of going to press the Li on Delge has arrived from Tangiers, and the pas sengers and letters brought by her report that the prisoners at the United States' Consulate were yes terday embarked in the United States' ship of war Ino, which was sent from Algeciras for the purpose of receiving them. The Moorish Minister, it ap pears, had demanded their release ; but the United States' Consul in reply said that he would strike kis flag and quit the country if he were interfered with in the disposal of his prisoners. The Minister's courage failed him when he saw a war-cloud brew ing in the distance, and he allowed the prisoners to be embarked. The affair occasioned intense excite ment among the European populace. They armed themselves, closed the port gates, vainly asked the interference of the European representatives, and then went in a body to the United States' Consulate to demand the release of the men. The British Minister, it is said, afterwards went to the Con sulate at the request of the United States' Consul, and the riot was quelled. The Moorish authorities, however, deemed it prudent to have the armed American party who took down the prisoners to the beach escorted by Moorish guards to prevent any collision with the populace." The following Government notice had been issued : _ " Secretary's-office, Gibraltar, Feb. 20.

EXPERIMENTS Al BURYNESS, Some interesting and in xperiments were made at Shoeburyness o last, in the pre sence of the Lords of 1, .alty and a large number of scientific offic , ,entlemen, with a view of testing the resistr 2d by an iron target built up to resemble a of an iron frigate's side, and specially desit Mr. Fairbairn, sen., to show how the teak b to the armour plates might be dispensed d increased strength obtained by a combin• ironwork alone. It is necessary, in order ly understand the ob ject and result of this leriment, to state that when our first iron frig. were designed of the Warrior class nearly e . .tillerists and scientific men were agreed in the Jpinion that the armour plates would require a wooden backing to deaden and distribute over a larger surface the tremendous concussion with which the shot would strike. It was accordingly determined that the first frigates should be plated with 4-inch armour, backed up with a double layer of teak beams laid transversely, in all 18 inches thick, and on this plan the Warrior, Black Prince, &c., have been constructed. A tar get representing a section of the Warrior thus built was fired at last October at Shoeburyness dur ing nearly two days, and, though every description of solid shot from Armstrong guns and 68-pounders were hurled at it singly and in salvoes of six at a time, this method of construction was shown to be practically invul nerable. No such satisfactory results in the way of resisting the tremendous impact of the shot have been obtained fiom any other target tried at Shoe buryness before or since. But the Ironplate Com mittee had been led by many experiments, some previous and some subsequent to that at the War rior target, to believe that greater advantages would be gained by increasing the thickness of the armour plates and reducing that of the teak backing. Ac cordingly in the three iron frigates now building by the Thames Ironworks, Mr. Laird, and Mr. Mare, it was decided to increase the thickness of the armour plates from 41 to 51 inches, and to diminish that of the teak from 18 to 9 inches. The Admi ralty, however, reserved to themselves the right of still further altering the contract up to a certain date, and having the plates of 61 inches without any teak backing at all, in case there should be found in the interim such a combination of ironwork as would offer equal resistance, and thus do away with the necessity of putting a destructible material like wood between indestructible armour plates, which, when once fixed, ought never to be removed. This object was so desirable that many attempts have been made to overcome the difficulties, which this method of construction presented, the greatest of all being that of fastening the plates to the target in such a way as would enable the bolts to withstand the tremendous jar the whole of the rigid and un yielding fabric receives when struck by a 200. pounder in full-flight. During last summer Mr. Fairbairn, sen., constructed an entirely iron target of small size ; but the experiments at this proved the difficulties that would have to be overcome in securing the plate, as with the jar caused by every shot the bolts gave way, till most of the plates were brought to the ground, and the target virtually destroyed. On Tuesday another much larger target of Mr. Fair bairn's, constructed on a different plan, was again tried, to determine whether the 18 inches of wood between the armour and iron skin is necessary to prevent the bolts and rivets being destroyed by the vibration. This target, which was constructed by Messrs. Fairbairn and Co•, of Manchester, was 20 feet long by 10 feet high, with a porthole in the centre. The two large plates going the length of the target above and below the port were each 20 feet long, 3 feet 4 inches wide, and 4 inches thick. The plates on each side of the narrow port were only 9 feet long, but of the same width and thick ness. The two large upper and lower plates were each secured by 15 2-inch bolts, fastened with powerful screw nuts at the back, and the two centre plates by eight bolts of a similar description. These plates were fastened to 1-inch wrought-iron plates, representing the skin of the ship, and be hind each line of bolts were straps of wrought iron 10 feet long by 9 inches wide and three-quarters of an inch thick. The entire mass was supported by ribs, representing the sides of a ship, 18 inches deep and 18 inches apart, made of 7,--inch plates, secured by angle irons 4 inches by 4 inches, and three quarters of an inch thick ; while the back of the ribs was still further strengthened by four hori zontal strips of wrought-iron, 12 inches wide by half an inch thick. The armour plates were not wrought, but rolled by Messrs. Brown and Co., of Sheffield, and the tonguing and grooving by which the Warrior's plates are dovetailed together was not resorted to in this instance, the plates being planed flat at their edges, and entirely dependent on the bolts for keeping their places. The whole target was an admirable piece of workmanship, and outwardly seemed strong enough to resist anything. The experiment seemed to excite great interest, and the principal iron manufactures and iron ship builders were present from all parts of the kingdom. Among others were the Duke of Somerset, Lord Mountcharles, Lord De Grey, Lord Clarence Paget, Sir William 4rmstron6, Sir John gap Admiral THE EAST INDIA AND CHINA MAILS The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Indus, Capt.

The Ordnance Select Committee have recom mended that every elevated battery should be fur nished with a board showing the angle subtended by the vertical height of the battery at each 100 yards of distance, this arrangement being of the greatest assistance in determining the depression to be given to the gun in order to strike it. Directions have accordingly been issued by the Duke of Cam bridge to the officers commanding Royal Artillery to give effect to the recommendation of the Select Committee by causing the several batteries within. their command to be supplied with the necessary tables of the angles subtended by the vertical height of the battery at the various distances within the range of their guns.
