The usual vitality of a fine morning on Newmarket heath was displayed yesterday by long strings of horses at exorcise on each side of the town, more than a hundred having been added by fresh arrivals to the number left there after the last meeting. The wet weather of the two preceding days had made people more than usually anxious to see horses take their gallops, and many who had come on Saturday and Sunday availed themselves of the earliest op portunity to take a look at those engaged in the Cesare witch. Betting on that race was confined before going to the heath to the three favourites—Silkstone's public trial at Doncaster and the rumoured success of both Umpire and Balder in their trials at home causing them to be in great demand. The surface of the ground was rather soft, but not sufficiently so to render the racecourse what is techni cally termed holding ; old horses were, nevertheless, spoken of as likely to reap advantage from it in the long race of this day. Twelve events stood upon the card for decision, the most interesting of them being a plate of £5O, for 2-yr-olds, and a handicap plate on the Cesarewitch course. The former resulted in the signal defeat of the favourite and the unex pected victory of a nameless colt belonging to the Earl of Glasgow; the latter in Schism beating a large field with out being backed, and partially restoring her stable com panion, Catch'em Alive, to favour. Rain coming on as the last race was run prevented much betting taking place at the rooms before dinner. The October Produce Stakes of 100 sous each, h ft, for the produce of mares covered in 1859; colts, Bst 101 b; fillies, Bst 71b; untried mares or stallions allowed 31b; but only one allowance. Last five furlongs of A.F. 4 subs. Mr. Merry's Tassel, list 71b (G. Fordham) 1 Sir It. Bulkeley's Curagao (31b), Bst 41b.... (W. Boyce) 2 Betting--6 to 4on Tassel, who made the running into the bottom, where the non-favourite joined her for a few strides, but shortly afterwards was beaten, leaving the fa vourite to go in an easy winner by a length. Free Handicap Sweepstakes of 60 sous each, 20 ft, for S yr-olds; winners extra. R.M. 1 mile 17 yards. 7 subs. Lord Stamford's Limosina, Est (Goater) 1 Mr. T. Valentine's Q.Efist 121 b (J. Daley) 2 Lord Chesterfield's Canwell, Tat 71b (Drew) 3 Betting-9 to 4on Limosina, 7to 2 agst Q.E D., and 5 to 1 agst Canwell. The latter made play, followed by the favourite and Q.E.D. to half way down the Bushes-hill, where he was beaten, leaving Limosina in possession of the lead, which she retained to the end, and won rather cleverly at last by a head, four lengths separating the second and third. Match—First half of Ab. M., 3 furlongs, 215 yards. 150, h ft. Bst 71b each. Admiral Rous's Nebula, Bst 71b (S.

The highest weight accepting being Bst 41b, it was raised to Bst 71b, and the others in proportion. Lord Chesterfield's Black Lily, 4 yrs, 7st 131 b (Custance) 1 Mr. Bowles's Fig, 3 yrs, 7st 31b (T.

When the flag was lowered the lot left the post widely spread across the course. Lady Derby in the centre, with Fig and Black Lily on the far side, came on in advance of Sugarstick and the ruck into the cords, where the former was beaten, and immediately disappeared from the front, the lead being taken up by Black Lily, who with Fig and Sugarstick in close attendance carried it on to the end, and won very easily by half a length ; three lengths between the second and third; the favourite finished a wretched fourth ; the others beaten off.

PEDESTRIANISM. '-, HAUKNiY-WICK. RACE BETWEEN WM. LANG (OF MIDDLESBOROUGH) AND SAMUEL BARKER (OF BILLINGSGATE) FOR £5O AND THE TEN -MILES CHAMPION' S CUP.—These celebrated pedestrians first contended for the above trophy on Mon day, the 14th of July last, when Lang, to the surprise of all, defeated Barker after a well-contested race. There could not have been less than 1,000 spectators, and when the usual preparatory matters had been adjusted, the pedestrians some ten minutes after four o'clock came to the scratch, having to make the start under the superin tendence of W. Price. The pedestrians having responded in the affirmative to the question, " Are you ready ?" the signal to go was given. No sooner had the lads opened to their "work" than the lead was taken by Barker, who went rattling along at a clipping pace, Lang so close up in the rear that they were not more than two yards apart. In this manner the men continued racing until going round the bend of the course in the back stretch,when Lang, in one of his fine spurts, closed on his opponent, and on the termina tion of the mile (4 min. 56 secs.) was leading, though Sam was so close up that the provincial did not hold the lead by more than a yard. When they had gone by the referee for the commencement of the second mile, and were racing up the back stretch in the eighth lap, another variation occurred, Barker putting on the " electric " in a surprising manner. The first two miles were run in 10 min. 15 sec., and when this portion of the distance had been accomplished Barker had the lead, though Lang was clearly making a waiting race of it; and had the provincial so thought proper, he could at any time have wrested the lead from his opponent. The whispered " gruff " was now passed among Barker's partisans that the game was, even thus early, "all up." Barker had been taken with internal cramp, and although he was trying to shake it off he could not succeed. As he passed along, in the third mile, Barker's head was bent forward with a painful expression. Barker struggled on in difficulties to the finish of the third mile (15 rain. 52 sec.), when he was compelled to resign ; and thus left Lang in undisputed possession of the field and of the cup. Owing to the manner in which Barker was compelled to " cut it." the spectators were much disappointed, for this was fully expected to be a match well worth witnessing. WANDSWORTH. MATCH BETWEEN JAMES SEEL (OP STALEYBRID(IE) AND JAMES MILES FOR £5O AND THE TEN MILES CHAMPION'S BELT. The match between these men, they having to con tend for the ten miles champion's belt, took place yesterday, on Mr. John Garratt's ground, when there could not have been less than 1,000 spectators assembled. Miles has taken rank as the leading pedestrian of the day by so nearly accom plishing the great feat of walking, fair heel and toe, 21 miles in three hours ; while Seel, aithough of provincial re pute, is far from being unknown among the metropolitans. The conditions on which they had to contend in the present match were that Miles should allow his opponent one minute and a-half start. The pedestrians had to make the circuit of the course forty times to complete the distance. The ground was in ammrable order. The betting was 2 to 1 on Miles, and there was much money laid. Miles bad for his attendant Oliver, of Chelsea, while Smith did the requisite for Seel. Both men looked to be in remarkably good form. Seel, on the ticker being set, went away at a good pace, to make the most of the minute and a half he had to receive, and in the given time the pro vincial succeeded in covering 400 yards, so that he was nearly a lap ahead of Miles, when the champion received the office to start. Wh en M iles dashed off he put on a tre mendous spurt, and con ti nued to gain upon his opponent mile after mile, u n til h e had so reduced the gal) that Seel was not more th an fif ty yards ahead. This advantage had not been gained on th e part of Miles without great effort, and the manne r h o h a d to tax his physical powers to cut down his opp onen t , proved in the end too much for him. Miles, when he h a d accomplished the eighth mile, pulled up and resign e d, an d as he left the ground it was apparent that he was su ff er i ng greatly. Seel had, therefore, to walk the last two mil es b y himself. RACE BETWEEN ALEISONTO; Bow LEE) AND GEORGE BEDDOW (OP LO NDON ) , AT BRADPORD—PtIrSILaRt to arti cles these pedestrians met on the city enclosed ground, Brad , ford, to decide their long pending and exciting race, they having to content for supremacy in a spin of 440 yards for £26 a-side. The meeting was well attended by the sporting fraternity of the North, while some of Beddow's metropolitan partisans also put in an appearance to wit ness the struggle being these renowned pedestrians. The betting was in favour of Albison, there being a good deal of the needful invested at 2tol on the provincial. Mr. Holden, of Manchester, who was final stakeholder, had to appoint the referee, and all the preparatory matters being adjusted, the pedestrians came to the mark. Both men had been well and carefully trained for the race, and in condition were stated to be all that could be required. The referee having taken up his position, the signal for the pedestrians to start was given, when on the instant they went dashing off on their fleet career, the start on the part of both men being well effected. Between these fine athletes, whose speed as fleet and powerful runners is so well known to all who are patrons of the sport, a race replete with interest ensued for the pride of place, which, on the termination of a good race, ended in Albison going by the goal, a winner by three yards. Ml?. COBDEN IN EAST LOTHIAN. On Saturday, a display of the steam plough took place on the farm of Mr. Sadler, Ferrygate, East Lothian. The plough was Fowler's, with a 10. horse power engine, and the work gave the utmost satisfaction to a large assemblage of the practical farmers of the Lothians. After the trials, the company was entertained to luncheon by the Right Hon. B. Hamilton Nisbet, in a marquee at Dirloton Castle. On the left hand of Mr. Hamilton, who presided, sat Mr. Cobden, M.P., who is now on a visit to Mr. M'Laren, at Edinburgh. The health of the strangers was proposed by Mr. Hamilton. I Mr. COBDEN, who was received with loud cheers, re sponded to the toast. He said—Mr. Nisbet, Ladies and Gentlemen,--When I left Edinburgh this morning, in company with my friend, Mr. M'Laren, to pay a visit to Mr. Pope and witness an exhibition of the steam plough, I had not the romotest idea that I should have found myself in presence of a large agricultural gathering such as I find here; but I can assure you I feel myself honoured by being permitted to associate with you on this occasion, to bo witness of the triumph of agricultural skill in this the head-quarters of advanced agriculture. I am my se lf th e son of a farmer, and my sympathies have always been with that class, though I think I see some faces here who would be inclined to feel dubious on that subject. (Laughter, and cheers.) My right hon. friend, your chair man, has alluded to some passages of arms which we have had in the House of Commons together. We took different views of a groat national question, sincerely and conscientiously differing on that question; but I am prepared to say for myself what, I am sure, he will be equally prepared to admit in me, that we had one common interest in view, that was the welfare of t his great country. (Loud cheers.) In advocating that Pam Which I h ave done since I hive been known as a publi c man, I have never been under the impression that I was acting in a manner to be injurious to agriculture. I have always held a different language. I held that language in p resence of the tenant farmers of this country twenty Years ago. Now, I must ask of my right hon. friend at the head of the table candidly to admit that though he fought the battle as man fully as anyone could have done in that most manly of all a ssemblies, the House of Commons, yet I will ask hi m f reely and fairly to admit to me that, in ad vocating as I have done an unp ro t ec t e d, free, and unrestricted c ompetition in prov a g r iculture, I have not taken a course which has i nimical to that great interest. I think he will admit that ed I stand here to maintain my ground, and I now claim ex perience to justify me in the course which I have tak en . What is it th a t const i tutes the prosperity of agriculture any other p ursu i t ? It i s t o h ave a flourishing, rich, a' or ad increasing umber of customer'' , Without that no bwkintioa can prosper. You, as agriculturists above all things, want a constantly increasing number of, and constantly increas ing wealth in, your customers —the manufacturing, mining, and industrial population of this country. (Cheers.) Above all things, you want a prosperous community, who can purchase your cattle and your stock, because I need not tell you who are so far advanced in that science of agricul ture that that which lies at the very foundation of all scien tific agriculture is, the large and constantly increasing pro duction of the manure-producing animals, the cattle and sheep which you rear upon your land. But you cannot find customers for that stock, which is so necessary to ad vanced agriculture, unless you have a thriving manufac turing, mining, and industrial population. You cannot send these articles abroad. I can understand that you might grow some commodities such as hops and other articles, that you might send abroad, but the cattle and sheep—the animal life that exists on your farm—must be sold to your near neighbours, the manufacturing and industrial popula tion. The course I took, and the policy I advocated, was to create a rich and prosperous community at your door, which would:be customers for your commodities. I think we may may now say we have succeeded in that. You have had a constantly increasing development of wealth, a con stantly increasing export of your manufactures, and a con stantly increasing demand for your cattle, sheep, and wool. These have been the foundation of your prosperity. I have always thought that both the landowners and the farmers took a very unworthy and ignoble view of their own interest when they measured the value of the land only by the price at which they could sell their wheat. Wheat, gentlemen, is a barbarous estimate—a barbarous measure of the value of land. Wheat was the sole dependence of your grandfathers when living hero at one quarter of the rent you now pay, and not enjoying half the prosperity you now enjoy with your fourfold rents. Therefore, I say, in advookting the whig;hl...l;;;iiz,,l Od.aition ory eax oAanyaetre l I have been advocating your i n te res t s . 1 cou ld no t im prove their condition without improving yours, and your prosperity will go on increasing so long as your customers go on increasing in wealth, and your prosperity will begin to decline when they begin to decay. lam sorry that at the present moment we have for a time a great depression in the manufacturing interest with which I have been par ticularly connected. I hope it will only be temporary. (Hear.) I hope it will not last so long as to be felt by you in your pursuits. I hope it will not be sufficient to check the onward progress of what we have seen—a grand mani festation in what we have witnessed to-day. I hope you will go on increasing in the application of steam to the cul tivation of the land, for that is the next step in the progress of improvement. You must dispense as much as possible with the old horse, the horse of muscle and flesh, and take to the horse, which will be less costly to you, for his coals will be less than the oats, and he will be less liable to acci dent or derangement than your live animals. I should, therefore, hope the prosperity of your agriculture will ena ble you to go on still increasing and multiplying your in struments of steam power. lam exceedingly obliged for the honour you have done me on this occasion. It is a plea sure I never had before of addressing a body of agrieul turista met together to consult and to enjoy themselves in the midst of their own peculiar pursuits; but I feel myself highly honoured, and not out of my place in any way by being with you to-day. (Hear, and cheers.) Mr. Cobden concluded by proposing the health of Mr. Nisbet Hamil ton, remarking that while they had met in the House of Commons on the Opposition benches, they now met in social intercourse, and he accepted and reciprocated the kind expressions which had fallen from him on that occa sion. (Loud cheers.) LORD PAL ME.RSTON'S VISIT 70 WINCHESTER. WINCHESTER, MONDAY. This morning Lord Palmerston visited this city on the occasion of the inauguration of the new Dio cesan Training School, and his lordship's visit, as might be supposed, had the effect of attracting an unusual number of persons to the ceremony, which took place in the Lecture-hall. The accommodation of the building is very superior, both with respect to class rooms, dormitories, dining rooms, &c. The building stands on a gentle eminence, on a site of five acres, which was given by the Dean and Chapter of Winchester. The programme comprised, first, the opening o the Diocesan Training School, after which Divine service was performed in the Cathedral, and a ser mon by the Bishop of Oxford, then an address to Lord Palmerston by the Mayor and Corporation at the Chapter-house, and the proceedings closed with a grand banquet in St. John's-hall. The ceremony of opening the school was performed by the Bishop of Winchester. Among those pre sent were—Lord Palmerston, M.P., Lady Palmer ston, the Bishop of Oxford, the Bishop of Salisbury, Sir F. T. Baring, M.P., the Hon. R. H. Dutton, M.P., Mr. W. Beach, M.P., Mr. S. Booth, M.P., Mr. Bovill, M.P., Sir J. B. East, M.P., Mr. Bonham Carter, M.P., and a large body of the clergy and gentry of the neighbourhood. Prayer having been offered, the Bishop of Winchester addressed the as sembly at great length, on the objects of the insti tution and the circumstances which had given rise to the erection of that building. The remainder of the service was then proceeded with, and on the con clusion, the building having been pronounced open, the National Anthem was sung. Divine service was afterwards performed in the cathedral, when an eloquent sermon was preached by the Bishop of Ox ford, from Romans xii., v. 7. In the course of his discourse he adverted to the general question of education and the duty of supporting schools of this kind. On the conclusion of the service, the mayor and corporation proceeded to the Chapter-house, when the Recorder presented the following address to Lord Palmerston : To the Right Hon. Viscount Palmerston, K.G., Firs Lord of the Treasury. "May it please your Lordship,—We the mayor, alder. men, and citizens of the city of Winchester in council as sembled most readily avail ourselves of the presence of your lordship on the occasion of the opening of the Diocesan Training School, to express our admiration of your public character, and our high appreciation and graceful acknow ledgment of the administrative abilities displayed by your lordship, and the great services rendered by you as a Mini • star of the Government of this country. Our ancient records testify the visits of many eminent persons, to whom ad dresses have from time to time been presented, convey ing the congratulations and approval of this corpo ration, but we know of none more entitled than your lord ship to receive this declaration of our admiration and esteem, enhanced as it is by your lordship this day supporting by your powerful influence the opening of an institution de voted to the advancement of education, and consequent im provement of the moral and social character and condition of the community. We therefore desire to offer to your lord ship a hearty welcome to Winchester; and we earnestly pray that your lordship's life may yet long be spared to pro mote the honour and welfare of this country." Lord PALMERSTON replied as follows :—Mr. Mayor and gentlemen, I beg to return you my most sincere thanks for the address which you have just been kind enough to present to me. I can assure you it has given me great pleasure to be allowed to attend upon so interesting and, I will say, important an occasion as that which has brought us all toge ther to-day. I trust that the proceedings which have taken place to-day will lead to a useful result, and a large development of that system of education which we have assembled to commemorate, and I may say to found, because we have opened a build ing in which for the future it is to be carried on. I am very sensible of the approval which you have been kind enough to express of the course which I have pursued in public life. I need not say that the approval of neighbours—of those who are close to one's residence, and who have more frequent opportunities of judging than he more perhaps who are at a greater distance, must ss it have valuable in proportion as those who exPrent. It will better opportunities of forming judgment. t better thosen d hose to be the anxious desire of myse a ll and to act , col leagues with whom I have the happin ess ,_ l _ olv. 1 endeavour to to merit the approval of our by ' that indul trymen ; and I trust that, profitin i g e of this country gent consideration which the People fePthose who are en al ways give to the exertions of shall be able to re• gaged in the public service,w ,ace, that good opi tinue in h to express twin, as long as we con kind enoug h nion which you have been to-day.

The Foxhound, on her passage from Malta, experienced fine weather until making the land of Paxo, when she was overtaken by a storm of thunder and lightning and very heavy weather. She has lately been inspected by Capt. Stewart, commanding the flagship, who expressed his entire satisfaction at the state in which he found the crew and vessel. The discipline on board the Shannon is said to have much improved since she has been under the surveillance of the Commander in-Chief. The Alacrity, 4, Commander K. E. Baird, takes up the next mail expected to-night from Mar seilles. The Amphion, 36, Capt. A. C. Gordon, is hourly expected here from Messina, at which port she arrived on Oct. 1 from Naples and Palermo.

The Icarus, 11, Commander Salmon, V.C., is refitting at Malta, preparatory to leaving for Corfu, and is nearly ready for sea. It is reported that the Liffey, 51, Capt. George Parker, recently commissioned for the Mediterranean, will relieve the Malacca, 17, Capt. G. J. Napier, at Gibraltar, the latter vessel returning to Malta. The ships here at present are the Icarus, Wanderer, Alacrity, and Foxhound. The Commander-in-Chief is expected from Corfu, as stated in my last, about the end of October, for the winter. This morning, at 10 minutes past 8 o'clock, we experienced another slight shock of earthquake. The Duke of Somerset and Capt. the Hon. James R. Drummond, C. 8., returned to the Admiralty, Whitehall, on Saturday night, from visiting Mr. Cheney's iron mines in Shropshire. Letters received at Portsmouth by the Dromedary, from the West Coast of Africa, state that the Inves tigator steamer was about to start on an expedition up the Niger, and that Capt. Burton would form one of the party on board. The Lords of the Admiralty had sent out instructions that an officer who was employed in the last expedition should accompany the Investigator, and Mr. Southwick, second master of her Majesty's ship Espoir, had been selected by the commodore for the purpose. A pretty general feeling existed among Europeans that-if it was part of the object of the expedition to produce any effect, friendly or otherwise, upon the towns in the delta of the Niger, the Investigator was much too weak a vessel for the purpose. If, however, it was merely intended to communicate with Dr. Baikie at the confluence of the river, that might be attained by running past the hostile towns in the passage up and down the river, although the season was far advanced for the execution of such a plan. The last expedition up the Niger consisted of the Espoir, 4, screw gunvessel, Commander Douglas, and the armed steamer Sunbeam, Commander Douglas being in command. It will be remembered that the expe dition met with considerable opposition from the natives of the towns on the river's banks, and at one point their aggression and insolence was checked only by the energetic measures adopted by Commander Douglas. From this expedition the Espoir returned with her officers and crew in a sadly enfeebled state. The Arrogant and Espoir were at Kabunda on the 20th July last, when the latter was sent on to St. Paul de Loando, to fill up coal. On the 22d she fell in with a bark without a name, colours, or papers, bat supposed it to be the Traviata, of Cadiz, of 247 tons, fitted to receive from 600 to 700 slaves. She was sent on, in charge of a prize master to St. Helena. The Torch had taken a bark in the Congo river, and the antelope had taken a prize with 200 slaves on board. A letter from a naval officer serv ing in the African squadron speaks of slavers being " thick as peas in the soup on a pork day." Shark Point, off the mouth of the Congo, is spoken off as a capital cruising ground, as, in addition to the chance of picking up a good prize brimming with slaves the natives brought off quantities of goats, pigs, poultry, and fruits, which they exchanged for old clothes and empty bottles, the rate of exchange being a couple of pigs, or three dozen of poultry, for a very old coat.

General Commanding-in-Chief, "JAMES YORKE SCARLETT, Adjt.-General." General Sir Jas. Yorke Scarlett, the Adjt.-Gen., has issued a circular memorandum, addressed to the army at home and abroad, conveying his Royal Highness the General Commanding-in-Chief's de sire that commanding officers will transmit to the Horse Guards, with as little delay as passible, de scriptive returns of the regimental sergeant-majors throughout the service, showing the period duriing which each has held his present appointment. Major -Gen. Bloomfield, Inspector-General of the Royal Artillery, attended by Major Teesdale, C. 8., V.C., aide-de-camp, paid au official visit of inspec tion on Saturday at Aldershot. The General first inopootal the VlEnd G tiatieries of the Royal Horse Artillery, commanded by Major Newton and Major Hay. The two batteries of Field Artillery, com manded by Col. Barry and Col. Turner, were next inspected, after which the Major-General came for ward, and expressed to the officers his entire satis faction at the efficiency and soldierlike bearing of the troops. In consequence of the great increase of duty and responsibility involved on the direction of the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich, by the amalgamation of the colleges, the Government has consented to an augmentation of salary of the Lieut.-Governor Commandant, Maj.-Gen.. San dham, to £l,OOO per annum, instead of, as heretofore, £5OO. The commuted allowances, equivalent to about £3OO, including the exemption from payment of the local rates and taxes, formerly granted, will, how- : - ever, under the new re g ulat ions b e di scon ti nue d. ___. _ The increased emolument will consequently not exceed £2OO or £250 per annum. An increase of salary to Col. Yorke, Second Commandant and In spector of Studies, is likewise under consideration. The Gymnasium and School of Arts, and the racket court attached, in the rear of the Academy, are now completed. The former is built in the crucifor m style, with a lofty glass dome over the centre, and galleries for spectators, and for elegance and genera/ advantages it is considered equal to any establish ment of the kind in Europe. THE LATE TRIALS AT SHOEBURYNESS. Mr. Whitworth, in a letter to a contemporary, says : In your notices of the late trials of my guns and shells against the iron targets at Shoebaryness you have come to the conclusion that more trials are wanted at longer ranges. In that I cordially agree, and shall be happy for my guns to be tried in every way that guns ought to be tested—that is, under conditions as trying as those which occur in actual service. I would ask, however, as I think I am entitled to do, that the trials be so conducted as not to be any longer a charge on my private resources, and in point of time and place not to compel me to make unnecessary sacrifices. I consider further that they ought not to be placed under the control of a committee constituted like the one which in 1858 promised to visit my works and see what was being done there, but without performing that promise— and without permitting me to be present at their trials of my gun, when I should have shown what it could do, and without even giving me any infor mation as to the results obtained in my absence— came to a decision against it—a circumstance which came to my knowledge accidentally some time after. It should be borne in mind that in artillery prac tice, as in other subjects, experience enables con clusions to be drawn which go beyond the point where actual results are left. My own experiments with penetration shell were chiefly made with a 1-pounder gun (bore 1.3 in.), weighing 1 cwt. Its results were fully borne out by those of a 6-pounder (bore 2.3 in.), and a 12- pounder (bore 3 in.), and, though I had never tried the 70-pounder (51 in. bore), and the 120-pounder (7 in. bore) with shell before I went to Shoebury ness, the results of the smaller guns enabled me to state beforehand with confidence what the guns and shells would do. They did what I expected, and showed they had power to spare. Having felt my way thus far, I feel justified in saying that both the 5-j. inch bore and seven inch bore guns will penetrate stronger defences at greater ranges than were tried at Sheeburyness. It should also be remembered that my 51-inch gun, which fired its shell effectively at 200 yards, is in weight about a ton less than what was stated in your article to be the maximum suitable for ships' guns . By adding to its weight it is clear that a more powerful gun than the 6 1-inch can be made still within that prescribed maximum ; the Shoe buryness trials prove that the thickest iron-plated sh i ps would be shell e d w i th such a gun at fighting ranges my larger gun has a bore precisely that of the 110-pounder rifled gun (7 inches), which, with the 68-pounder smooth bore, was so often tried against the Warrior and other targets. It is true that it is, and I think ought to be, heavier than the 110- pounder; heavier guns are being asked for for cupola ships, and es pivot guns they may be used with great advantage. It should, perhaps, be explained that my 7-inch gun was made at Woolwich, in con sequence of arrangements decided upon after Lord Palmerston and Sir Cornewall Lewis had witnessed trials of my 70-pounder at Shoeburyness about 12 months ago. Not having the means of construct ing so large a gun at Manchester, I requested to be allowed to have it made at Woolwich. This was done, under the efficient superintendence of Mr. Anderson, according to drawings supplied by my self. The gun differs in construction from the rifle guns of the service ; its metal is differently dis tributed, its form is different, and it has a fixed breech, being a muzzle-loader. Had the then existing means permitted it, I should have pr e f erre d ma ki ng the gun throughout of homogeneous iron (as my 70-pounders are now able to be made) which with an equal weight of metal would afford very much greater strength. As, however, the service guns at Woolwich are made on the coiled system, I employed hoops of welded coiled iron, like those I used for my first gun in 1855, and have used for the outer hoop of my large guns ever since. It is a common error to suppose that the "coiled system" was first employed in the construction of the service rifled guns, whereas the fact is that many years before those guns were made the method of building up guns with coiled hoops, welded together by end pressure, was well known in this country. Without wishing for a moment to detract from the merit of those who have practi cally carried out the system, I claim to be entitled none the less to use an old method known Jong ago,
