THE WAR IN AMERICA. QUEENSTOWN, Nov. 8. The Royal Mail steamer Asia, from Boston on the 20th and Halifax on the 31st of October, ar rived here at 10 a.m. She brings 61 passengers and 145,210 dols. in specie. She landed all the .mails and five passengers, and proceeded at 10.15 a.m. All well. NEW YORK, OCT. 27, EVENING. The Confederate General Wise is advancing to attack Yorktown with 20,000 men. The Confederates have evacuated Galveston, Texas. The Federals have since occupied the city. The Federals have also occupied Sabine Pass, Texas. The Confederates occupy the Tennessee shore opposite Island Number Ten. General Beauregard officially reports that Aboli tionists had attacked Pocataligo and Yoosawatchie, on the Charleston Railroad, but were repulsed and driven to their gunboats. They came in 13 gun boats and transports. General Pleasanton's cavalry and Burnside's corps have crossed the Potomac, and are moving on Leesburg. The Federal troops on Bolivar Heights will m ove forward on Monday. Active movements are making on the Upper Potomac. The Democrats have carried the elections in Pennsylvania by 3,500 majority. 11 .1 Ohio the Democratic State ticket has been elected by 8,000 majority. OCT. 28. The New York Herald of the 28th gives the fol lowing as the situation of affairs at that date :—The rumour of an advance of our army into Virginia, which created some excitement yesterday, has re ceived confirmation by later despatches from vari ous points. Gen. M'Clellan moved his headquarters yesterday to the Virginia side of the Potomac. At daylight General. Pleasanton's cavalry crossed the river at Berlin., and pushed on to Lovettsville in the direction of Leesburg, which point he was supposed to have o ecupied immediately. Gen. Burnside fol lowed with his corps, and took up a position near Love.ttsville. No battle appears to have occurred. Up to last evening everything was quiet. Gen. Pleasanton was said to be within a few hours' /march of the rebel Gen. Longstreet's forces. The recent rains, which ceased at ten o'clock yes terday, have not materially interfered with the fords at either Shepherdstown or Williamsport. At Harper's Ferry the water rose two inches, and the Shenandoah was increased four inches at the same point. The rebel cavalry in considerable numbers continue to show themselves between Martinsburg and Cherry Run, and a regiment was seen and fired at opposite Sharpsburg on Monday, but the main body of the enemy seem to have fallen back beyond Winchester. It is thought that Gen. Lee is making as fast as possible for Gordonsville. The news from Arkansas of another great battle and victory in the vicinity of Pea Ridge imparts some life and interest to the news of the day. The immediate location of the late conflict was at Maysville, near 50 miles from Pea Ridge. The in telligence is conveyed in an official despatch from General C artis to General Halleck, recounting, in brief, tte fact that General Schofield, finding that the eliemy, under the rebel General Hindman, had encamped at Pea Ridge, sent General Blunt with the Ist division westward, and moved towards Huntsville with the rest of his forces. General Blunt, after a hard night's march, reached and at tacked the rebel force, from 5,000 to 7,000 strong, at Maysville, at seven o'clock on the morning of the 22d inst. The engagement lasted about an hour, and resulted in the total rout of the enemy, with the loss of all his artillery—a battery of six pounders, a large number of horses, and a portion of their transportation and garrison equipments. The Union cavalry and light howitzers were still in pursuit of the enemy at last accounts. General Schofield pursued General Hindman beyond Hunts ville, coming close upon him, when his forces pre cipitately fled beyond the Boston mountain. Our loss in the affair was very small. Despatches from Cairo, Illinois, tell of a despe rate fight which took place at Waverley, in Ten-1 nessee, on Thursday last. It appears that a rebel force, 800 strong, attacked a party of 200 Union troops at that place, which is located about twenty miles southwest of Fort Donelson. After a severe fight our men, though greatly inferior in numbers, completely routed the enemy, killing 24 and cap turing 25 of them. Rumours were rife in Cairo yesterday of a fight going on at Bolivar, and other statements would seem to confirm it, for it was re ported at Corinth that the rebel General Price was within four miles of that place on Sunday, with a very large force. General Rosencranz has arrived at Cairo en route to join his new command. Great activity was observed among the rebels in the neigh bourhood of Helena, Vicksburg,i, and Holly Springs. It was said that 70,000 men were at the latter place under Generals Lovell and Van Dorn. A report was prevalent in Memphis on Sunday that a force of 1,000 rebel cavalry have stationed themselves nine miles from here, on the Memphis and Charles ton road, and have taken possession of the 'line, with their head-quarters in the vicinity of Non conat, and is supposed to be the advance of a large rebel force, who have designs upon the city. Morgan's rebel guerillas in Kentucky have met with some sad reverses of late. Colonel Edward M'Cook, with 300 cavalry, left Crab Orchard on Thursday morning, and encountered several bands of them and Scott's rebel cavalry at Point Liek and Big Hill, killing four or five and capturing their telegraph operator, with his apparatus ; also 33 Waggons, partly loaded. The remainder of the rebels went towards Mount Vernon. The city of Galveston, Texas, has been evacuated by the rebels, and was occupied by our troops on the sth instant. Our news from the Southern papers to-day is very important. The Richmond Dispatch has an official report from General Beauregard, announcing an attack by the Union troops on the Charleston and Savannah Railroad at Yoosawatchie and Poco taligo, on Thursday, and were "gallantly repulsed" by the rebel forces. The enemy, he saye, had come in 13 transports and gunboats. The Charleston Railroad is unin jured. The " Abolitionists" left their dead and wounded on the field. General Bragg has furnished an official report of the battle at Perrysville, Kentucky, in which he claims a great victory, which, he says, only for the approach of night, would have been completed by driving our troops from their position. The Dis patch of the 2lth says that Bragg's army has retired to a safe position, which it would be im- Prudent to state. General Bragg, it says, has s ecured 4,700 waggons loaded with provisions, hich have been brought away in safety, with his army. He lost 2,500 barrels of pork ni e h was left at Lexington, and fell into the be a u a „ felt _ mo i n the Y an k ees .

NEW YORK, °cT• 28 , EVENING. h as established his h ea d. General M'Cl ellan quarters in Virginia. The Confederates are reported to have evacuated Wi nc hester, and to be moving in t . he direction ing of Staunton, Virginia. General Burnsid e to Winchester. A body of Confederates visited Manassas Junc tion on Friday last, The Confederate G enera l B ragg , i n hi s official I report of the battle at Perrysville, claims to have driven the Federals two miles and captured eight pieces of artillery. The pursuit was .topped by night. General Bragg carried from Kentucky 4,000 waggons of provisions. Confederate Generals Price and Pillow are re ported on the Hatchie river, marching on Bolivar, with 70,000 men. A small Confederate force has been defeated at Waverled, Tennessee. A thousand Confederate cavalry have taken pos session of the Memphis and Charleston Railroad, nine miles from Memphis. They are supposed to be the advanced guard of the Confederates, who are going to attack Memphis. It is seaii-officially announced that the Federal debt, up to the present time, is under 660,000,000 dols., and that the outstanding claims on the Go vernment do not exceed 20,000,000 dols. The Southern journals assert that the Federals have refused to permit aliens to leave the South on board flag-of-truce boats. NEW YORK, OCT. 30. The Washington Star says :—lt is believed that General Lee has divided his army into two large corps—one under Jackson, the other under Long street—and is leaving the region in which he has 1 been posted since recrossing the river into Virginia. It is thought that portions of Jackson's advance have crossed the Blue Ridge by the gap at Front Royal, while there is evidence that a force of 8,000 rebels, under Walker, known to have been for two days past at Upperville, are the advanced guard of Long street's corps. The rebel Generals expected pro bably to make a successful dash at General Siegel's corps, at and around Centreville, on their retreat towards Gordonsville ; hence the appearance there of the troops at the points indicated above. The army of the Potomac is promptly in motion to meet these rebel movements, and Generals Burnside and Fitzjohn Porter are already so close on the heels of Longstreet's army, that he will probably retrace his steps towards Winchester, and seek to retreat down the valley rather than advance further in this direction. It will not, therefore, be surprising to hear of a considerable battle in that quarter at any moment. The whole Federal army, with the ex ception of General Sumner's corps, which remains on Bolivar Heights, may be said to be in motion. General Burnside's movement into Virginia has been followed by the corps of Fitzjohn Porter which is now in a position to operate, if necessary, in the same direction. Gen. M'Clellan's head-quar ters are at Berlin, immediately on the Potomac. The rebel pickets have again appeared opposite Sharpsburg, and in front of Charlestown, their artil lery and cavalry being visible from Bolivar Heights. The impression increases, however, that the main body of the rebel army has already retreated, and that no rebels will be found at Winchester. It is pretty well known that a considerable force of rebels has already crossed the mountains through the gap at Front Royal, and it is believed that a still larger force is passing southward on the other side of the mountains. The forces which have been found in the vicinity of Snicker's Gap and Upper vine are probably watching against an attack on the flank of the main army as it stretched towards Gordonsville. Unless Lee's retreat is much further advanced than is probable or possible, it would seem that Gen. M'Clellan has the power by a vigorous forward movement, aidedby a similar advance from Washington, to force Lee to stop and fight before he gains Gordonsville. The New York Times correspondent with M'Clel lan's army still continues to assert that the generals 1 surrounding M'Clellan consider an advance on the rebels at Gordonsville and Richmond is full of peril, and believe that an approach by the south side of the James River is the only and true route to Rich mond, and that if the matter was left to M'Clellan's own judgment he would ship the whole army back to the peninsula. Federal Gen. Grant officially reports further suc cesses against the guerillas in different parts of Missouri. Gen. Sherman has issued stringent orders for the government of Memphis. A military commission sits daily to try offenders under the laws of war. Vagrants and other disre putable characters are organised into gangs, and iset to work in the trenches or on the streets. Citizens are to keep indoors between tattoo and reveille, unless attending church, places of amuse ments, or necessary business. After midnight, all persons except guards must be in their houses. Assemblages of negroes are forbidden except by permission of the Provost Marshals. Gen. Buell has ordered that all persons who have actively aided rebellion in Kentucky within the last three months shall be arrested and sent out of Kentucky, and forbidden to return. The writ of habeas corpus, in the case of Mr. W. H. Winder, who is confined in Fort Warren, issued by Judge Clifford, of the Iluited States Circuit Court, has not been served, because Col. Dimmick, Commander of Fort Warren, has refused a pass to the fort. A large naval and military expedition is being fitted out for Texas. The expedition is to be com manded by Gen. Banks. The Republican and Democratic parties are mak ing most vigorous efforts throughout the State of New York to carry the elections. Both parties are nightly holding meetings throughout the county. The contest is very bitter on both sides, and it is supposed the result of the election will be very close. President Lincoln is busily engaged on his mes sage to Congress. A commission has been ordered to assemble at Washington to report upon the plan of the present forts around Washington, and upon the sufficiency of the present defences of the capital. The Federals have destroyed the extensive steam salt works erected by the Confederates at St. Joseph's Bay, Florida. Georgia and Florida relied upon these works for the supply of salt for the winter's provisions for their troops. No European advices have been received in New York later than those brought by the Australasian last week, and considerable curiosity and suspense exist to hear further of the different intervention projects on foot in Europe. The British steamer Wachuta has been captured by the Federal gunboat Memphis. She was cap tured, after a full day's chase, off the coast of North Carolina. She threw overboard the greater part of her cargo, and so strained her engines as to be un able to make steam. The Richmond Despatch says :—" The tight at Pocataligo resulted in a complete victory. Our loss is 15 killed and 40 wounded. The enemy's total loss is not less than 200 killed and wounded. The enemies force consisted of six regiments, with one field battery and two boat howitzers. Her Majesty's steamers, Cadmus and Racer, sailed from Fortress Monroe on the 28th inst., to be absent two weeks on a cruise. The steamer Vanderbilt has received her arma ment, and will leave New York in a few days. Dates from British Columbia are to the 20th ult., according to which the copper mines of Queen Charlotte's Island promise well. The Victoria Colonist alludes to the flourishing condition of the city, attested by its rapid growth, continued improvements, and the increasing value of the real estate, and says " the mining intelligence is favourable from all parts of British Columbia, and the prospects of Sticken and Queen Charlotte mines are very bright." NEW YORK, OCT. 30 (Evening). The whole army of the Potomac is in motion towards Virginia. The accounts of the position of the Confederate army in Virginia are conflicting.

A telegram was received at Portsmouth on Satur day from the Admiralty directing that Monday (to day) should be observed as a close holiday in all the public naval establishments at the port in honour of the birthday and coming of age of his Royal High ness the Prince of Wales. A letter dated Valetta, Oct. 2, says :—" The Prince of Wales and the Prince and Princess of Prussia proceeded on their tour to Sicily and Naples last night in the Royal yacht Osborne. The yacht will work one paddle only, having broken the shaft of the other in her passage from Tunis; but, as in this crippled condition she can steam nine knots, and a favourable change has occurred in the weather, she is likely to make a fair passage. Her Majesty's frigate Doris will escort her and take her in tow, in case such assistance is required. Yesterday morn ing their Royal Highnesses witnessed from the Palace tower the repulse of a feigned attack on the fortress from the seaward, and in the afternoon 'A ere present on the Floriana parade ground to see a line regiment put through its bayonet exercise. At half past 9 o'clock they took their departure from the Great Harbour. As they are travelling incognito no salutes were fired. Their Royal Highnesses ex pressed themselves much pleased with the attention received during their brief sojourn. They purpose calling at Syraeuse and Messina en route to Naples, where it is their present intention to remain till after the birthday of the Prince of Wales, the yacht returning to Malta for repair. Her Majesty's ship Neptune, 86, Capt. G. T. Hornby, arrived from Naples yesterday morning, on her way to England, to be paid off, and the Algiers, 89, Capt. E. B. Rice, now in port, is also under orders to return hame. The Amphion, 36, Capt. A. C_ Gordon, left for Eng land last night, and took with her as passengers Deputy-Assist.- Commissary- Gen. Turnbull, five non-commissioned officers, and 31 privates. The Foxhound, 4, Commander the Hon. A. Hobart, also left last night with a mail for Admiral Martin. Lieut. Luck, 9th Regiment, who lately arrived from England, proceeded in her to join his regiment at Corfu_" The dockyard, Ordnance, aad other Government establishments at Chatham will be closed to-day, and the whole of the workmen granted a holiday, in honour of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales attaining his majority. At 12 o'clock a Royal salute will be fired from the guns mounted on the Cornwallis battery. The Admiralty have given directions for the broadside Armstrong guns of the Royal Oak, iron plated steam frigate, fitting at Chatham, to be placed, four of the number aft in the cabins and four forward, in addition to the heavy Armstrong pivot guns mounted on the upper deck. A similar arrangement is to be carried out on board the other ships of her class under construction at the several ports. The line-of-battle serew steamer Hero, 89, 600- horse power, Capt. A. P. Ryder, which is ordered to be put out of commission at Sheerness, will, as soon the crew have been paid off, be placed in the second division of the Chatham steam reserve in the Medway. The following appointment has been made in the Royal Naval Reserve :—To be Lieut., David Robert Comyn. 7HE ARMY. Professor Abel, F.R.S., and Professor Pole, F.R.S., have been engaged by the authorities at the War-office to deliver a course of lectures to the officers and men of the Royal Engineers at the headquarters, Chatham, during the present winter. The subjects on which Professor Abel lectures re late chiefly to the various descriptions of wrought and cast iron, puddled steel, and homogeneous iron, and the latest improvements in iron manufacture together with the production, properties, and uses of copper, zinc, and tin, and their alloys. Profes sor Pole's series of lectures will treat exclusively of the various structures in iron. The lectures will be delivered three times weekly during the winter. The clipper ship Flying Spear left the Thames on Saturday for China, having embarked the fol lowing officers from Chatham garrison to join head quarters of the 31st Regiment—viz., Ensign It. H. Townsend, Ensign W. F. H. Majendie, Ensign R. C. Hill, and Ensign W. T. Deverell. A War-office circular, signed by Sir G. C. Lewis, Secretary of State for War, has been issued, an nouncing that Major-General A. Tulloh, Artil lery, Director-General of Ordnance, is charged, under the new regulations for the sufficient main tenance of stores, with the important duty of ad vising the Secretary of State for War upon all ques tions relating to the supply of guns, small arms, ammunition, &c., to fortifications at home and abroad, and of seeing that prompt attention is paid to the execution of orders. His decision will be final on all questions of detail, and he will conduct the correspondence which bears on such questions, communicating with Col. Bingham, Deputy-Adjt.- Gen. of the Royal Artillery, and the heads of the Government manufacturing establishment by means of " minute papers." All ulterior questions will be referred to the Secretary of State for War through the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for War, or, in his absence, through the permanent Under-Secretary of State acting for him. Colonel Bingham, Deputy Adjutant-General (under the orders of his Royal Highness the General Com manding-in-Chief), is held responsible for the pre servation, in a state of immediate rea:tiness for any emergency, of the whole of the rifled and smooth bore iron guns and howitzers, shot, shell, and other stores connected with the armaments of the sea and land defences at home and abroad in charge of offi cers of the Royal Artillery, as also for the mainte ance of the proper proportions of such stores, and likewise the maintenance of ample reserves of all descriptions of offensive missiles of war. All de mands for artillery warlike stores will be examined by the director of ordnance. As soon as the an nual estimate for such stores has been approved by the Secretary of State, for submission to Parlia ment, the Director of Ordnance will direct the Deputy Adjutant-General of Artillery to put forward his demand for the year. The Director of Ordnance will seal all ord nance patterns on behalf of the Secretary of State, and he will be held responsible that supplies of warlike stores, whether received under contract or manufactured by Government, are conform able to the sealed patterns. This will not re move any responsibility from the heads of the manufacturing establishments, whose duty it is carefully to examine every process of manufacture, in regard to material and workmanship. All questions which the heads of manufacturing establishments n c wish to re f er for the orders of the Secretary of State are to be su b m i tted through the director of Ord nance, manu facturingccounts.asAwlleGllovaesrnthmeenwtorksatae, excepting establishments, accounts. Elswick, will be inspected annually by Major-Gen. Tulloh, who will submit a general report to the Sec retary of State, with special recommendations upon any matters which may require his attention ; but the interior economy of those establishments is not to be interfered with, unless under special authority. He will also advise the Secretary of State upon all business relating to the Ordnance Select Committee, end the engineer of rifled ordnance will also report to him upon matters connected with his branch of the service. In the event of any expedition being ordered by Government, after the nature and num ber of the guns have been determined by the Secre tary of State, in communication with the Comman der-in-Chief, the Deputy Adjutant-General of Royal Artillery will submit the proper demands for the ordnance, carriages, amen anition , &c., and the direc tor of ordnance, in conjunction with the director of stores, will be responsible for their due preparation as well as that the reserves are adequately main tained. The Director of Ordnance, in conjunction with the Inspector-General. of Fortifications, will advise the Secretary of State with respect to the armament of works of fortification proposed to be constructed, or in respect to which any alterations may have been made during their progress. All questions relating to changes in the existing arma ments are to be referred to him. The Deputy-Adju tant-General of Royal Artillery, the Director of Stores, Accountant-General, Director of Contracts, heads of manufacturing establishments, and others, will render the Director of Ordnance every assist ance in their power, and supply him promptly with such information as he may from time to time re quire. The command of the 3d depot battalion at Chat ham garrison will shortly become vacant by the transfer of Lieut. Col. G. N. K. A. Yonge to a line regiment. The officer mentioned as the successor of Col. Yonge is Lieut.-Col. T_ E. Knox, C. 8., 67th Regiment. Recruiting for the several British and East India depots at Chatham garrison, the service companies of which require augmentation, has fallen off very much within the last few weeks. The depot of the 83d Regiment, the head-quarters of which are at Dover, is now very strong, and a large detachment has been forwarded from Cnatham to join the service companies. Recruiting for the 75th Regi ment, which was discontinued some time since, is ordered to be again opened in consequence of the service companies of the regiment being below their proper srrength. Ensign Marvin, 2d battalion, 6th, 'las proceeded from the camp at Colchester to Harwich to assume the command of the detachment stationed there, in the room of Lieut. Gubbins, of the 56th, who has received leave of absence till the 31st of December, Capt. Manners, Ist battalion, Ist Regiment, will join the service companies of that corps on the arrival of Capt. Hill, who will take the command of the depot. A testimonial has just been presented at the camp at Colchester to Colour-Sergeant Sweeney, who, after serving in the army for nearly 20 years has received the appointment of Sergeant Instructor to the 3d West Riding Volunteer Corps, stationed at Bradford. A large block of barrack buildings is about to be commenced at Warley, near Brentwood. 'NOVEMBER 10, 1862. WHITWORT H . AND ARMSTRONG RIFLE GUNS. Mr. Jos. Whitworth has addressed the following letter to the editor of the Times:—Sir,—ln a letter which appeared in the Times of Nov. 6, Sir W. Armstrong, while commenting on the late trial of our respective field guns near Shorncliffe,has made some statements the tone of which I regret, and which necessarily call for a reply. With the arrangements at Shorncliffe I had no thing whatever to do, except that I went there ex- I pecting to see my guns officially tried, and before going I was unaware that any Armstrong guns were to be fired on that occasion. Sir William animad verts strongly upon the account of the trials which was quoted in tha limes from the Army and Nary Gazette, but he doe not point to any of the facts as being incorrect, though he has, of course, every facility for ascertaining their truth. It is necessary to advert to this, because it might be inferred from Sir William Armstrong's letter that the trials at Shorncliffe were of a partial and one-sided cha racter; for he says, "It would seem that Whitworth and Armstrong field guns were fired in the presence of Mr. Whitworth, Colonel Boxer, and their friends," omitting to add what was distinctly stated in the article quoted by you, that the trials were really official, and " took place in the presence of the Inspector General of Artillery► General Bloomfield, and a large staff of officers." Among these were Colonel Cuppage, Colonel Bingham, representing the Horse Guards, Colonel Marriott, and other officers. Sir William, without pointing out any errors, expresses in general terms his doubts as to the accuracy of the statements quoted in your paper, observing that on other occasions different results had been obtained with his guns. This i s possible but I should ask whether in these instances the trials were public or private, and under what condi tions they took place. On various occasions public trials of my guns have been made, and the actual [ results of those trials were all published at the time. It would be very satisfactory if Sir William would point to results obtained by him which he is ready to compare with them ; for example, after the Arm strong 32-pounder gun gave a range of 9,175 yards, I obtained with one of my small three-pounders a range of 9,700 yards, and with a 12-pounder a range of 10,200 yards. Again, my 70. pounder gave a range of 3,000 yards at 5 deg., and a range of 5,000 yards at 10 deg. Although Sir William undertook (as stated in Parliament by the Minister of War, the late Lord Herbert) to produce a gun expressly for range, wnich should surpass mine (not made ex pressly tor range), I have never heard of his guns having equalled the results given above. When results such as these are openly published, there are surely ample means for making a com parison, each gun being allowed to do all it can, without their being fired actually side by side. Why has not Sir William availed himself of this mode of comparison, which was open to us both had he so desired it ? In his letter he now expresses his opinion that it is " high time that a proper and systematic compa rison should be made between Mr. Whitworth's guns and his." Re therefore admits that no such comparison has yet been made, though the Rifle Ordnance Committee in 1858 decided in favour of his gun and against mine. In a former communi cation I alluded in general terms to this subject, but from comments made on my letter in your leading article it appeared that my allusion did not convey sufficient information. It is therefore necessary plainly to state what were the proceeding of the Rifle Ordnance Com• mittee with reference to the Armstrong gun and mine, when they recommended the former to be adopted for the service. I am now for the first time enabled to giv e this explanation, having just received the recently published report of the evi dence given before the Select Committee of the House of Commons of last session. Its appendix furnishes me, for the first time, with a copy of the Ordnance Committee's report upon the Armstrong gun and mine, and with a list of the members by whom it was made. Among the most prominent of those members were Sir W. "Wiseman, now the vice-president of the Ordnance Select Committee, and the secretary, Capt. A. Noble, who afterwards became a partner in the El , wick Ordnance Co. From the evidence taken by the House of Come mons, it appears that a programme of the trials of the Armstrong gun proposed to be made in 1858, was previously submitted to Sir William by the Committee, and he consented to it, stipulating, however, that he should be allowed to co-operate personally or by his assistants. Ne such opportu nity was afforded to me, no programme was fur nished to me, nor was I even allowed to be present at the trial of my own guns, which were brass muzzle-loading guns, bored and rifled identically with the 12-pounders recently tried at Shorncliffe. I did not know what was the nature of the in tended trials nor their results. The Committee, who might have communicated with me in the same way that they did with Sir W. Armstrong, omitted to do so; and more than that, in a letter from the War-office they promised to visit my works at Manchester, and I fully expected they would come, before they decided what gun they would recommend, but though they visited the Elswick Works, they never came to mine. It was to these circumstances I alluded when I protested against being again referred to a commit tee some of whose members had already decided against me, and who would necessarily see in the success of my guns the condemnation of their pre vious judgment. Though 1 object, and I think with reason, to being subjected to the direction of a tri bunal so biassed, I accept readily Sir W. Arm strong's proposition to match his guns and projec tiles against my guns and projectiles. To bring the matter to a direct issue, I would propose to name two members, and that Sir William should name two, who, with a chairman chosen by the four, shalt form the tribunal of reference. What ever that tribunal shall agree upon as to time, place, and nature of trial, and mode of arriving at a deci sion, I will accept, in the earnest wish that the re sult may be advantageous to the public service, and in confidenbe, without any reserve on my part, that it will be of an amicable nature. Before concluding, there are one or two points Sir William's letter which require to be noticed. It is true that nearly three years ago propositions were made that competitive trials between Armstrong and Whitworth guns should take place, It was proposed that they should be conducted by the Ord nance Select Committee, and to that I assented, though I felt that, for reasons already explained, some of its members must necessarily be influenced against my gun. I asked, however, first, that the trials might be attended by disinterested spectators, such as mem bers of the principal scientific institutions; second, that my guns might be worked by my own men, or men chosen and selected by me; third, that the trials once begun might be continued without in termission, so that they might not be prolonged in definitely. The Ordnance Select Committee conceded the first point but refused the others. Being very anxious for the trials to take place, I yielded the second point, though it was one which, as has been explained, had been conceded to Sir IN. Armstrong, when the Ordnance Committee tried his guns. As the programme was so long and varied that i` weulri hay, xf , net (1 over many mon. },s, un!ess carried out without intermission, I Vas atthged to repeat my request for the third point. The Ordnance Committee persisted in refusing to concede it, and the trials did not take place for this reason. With reference to my 7-inch gun, which pene trated the liyarrior target at Shoeburyness, Sir Wil liam complains that 1 have not recognised my obli gations to himself. If he will state which of his inventions has been used in the construction of that gun I shall be very glad to express my acknowledgments for them. He probably supposes that its inner tube, like that of his gun, is made of welded coiled bars. This is not the case; it is formed of a solid bar, bored out— consti uction of which he, I believe, does not ap prove. It is true the gun is built up and its hoops are made of welded coiled iron, but so were those of guns made by me in 1855. Guns built up of welded coiled hoops were, as Sir William must admit, well known in this country before he introduced his rifled ordnance. Though for practically carrying out the system he is enti tled to claim full merit, he equally with myself is indebted to those who went before us for the prin ciple of what is termed the coiled construction. He has used it in his way for his purpose ; I used it in my way for mine. For the ready and able assistance afforded me by Mr. Anderson in the manufacture of my gun at Woolwich I have already expressed my thanks, but it is only due to myself to state that the gun, be sides being rifled on my system, was made to draw ings supplied by me. It was of too large a size for my works at Manchester at present to undertake to make it, and for that reason I asked ior permission to have it made at Woolwich. Similar permission, it should be remembered, has been readily accorded by the War-office to many others besides myself. I have before stated I should have preferred the gun to be made of hoops cast in one piece, and ham mered, instead of being formed of welded coiled bars, and gave my reasons for my preference, to which I adhere. With reference to the use of improvements made by me in artillery and projectiles, I should regret extremely if there could be any doubt that I am, and always have been, desirous that they should be used in every way that can benefit the public ser vice. Sir W. Armstrong well knows that during the last two or three years he has made such experi ments as he wished with steel flat fronted projectiles without any impediment being offered by me, and if he has not done as much with them as my guns have done, it is not the fault of the projectiles. Pro bably, as Sir W. cannot yet see the mechanical ad vantage their shape gives them over the " round heads," he did not give them sufficient trial. Until I shall have completed the trials of my shells, and fully proved their power at long ranges, I am naturally unwilling that concurrent trials of them should be made, which might not with other guns be more successful than those made with solid projectiles of the same shape, especially when no application is made to me, as is usual in such cases, for permission to use my improvements. When my own experiments are concluded it will give me much pleasure to see Sir William try, if he chooses, projectiles like mine with his guns; and I repeat here what I have already stated on other occasions, and what I have endeavoured practically to carry out, that my object is to aid as much as I can, and in any way that I can, the public service. If it be to its advantage to adopt the whole or any part of my improvements, I will readily give my assistance in furthering the adoption, without con sidering the persons who may have to carry it out. Constructing in the Royal dockyards, having just completed those required for the casing of the Royal Oak. It might naturally be supposed that where 1 30 much attention and energy are devoted to the construction of vessels intended for warlike opera ti3ns the comparatively humble demands of peaceful commerce would be little regarded, but such is not the case. In addition to the Poonah, of which we shall presently speak, the company are building a paddle steamer of 500 tons for the Dublin Trinity Corporation, and a large sailing iron vessel, in tended as a yacht for a private gentleman, which is expected to afford more ample accommodation and to be more speedy than any other vessel of her class. There are other works which, although compre hended among the et ceteras of the Thames Iron Company, would be regarded as important items in the operations of less extensive, but still not insig ❑ificant establishments. The particular event of Saturday was, as we have stated, the launch of the Poonah, a large screw steamer, measuring 315 ft. in length and 41ft. ex treme breadth, with a depth of hold of 30ft. Her burden is 2,597 tons In her construction every late improvement has been adopted, not only to secure strength and speed but to provide increased accom modation and comfort for passengers. The most confident anticipations are entertained that she will be one of the fastest vessels afloat, and her beautiful form and floe proportions fully justify such hopes. The recent death of Mr. Wilcox, M.P., chair man of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navi gation Company, could not fail to have a depress. ing effect upon such an occason, and in consequence of that sad event none of the directors of the com pany were present on Saturday to witness the launch of their new ship. The ceremony itself would have been deferred had not all the arrange ments already progressed so far as to render postponement a matter of great difficulty. Soon after 2 o'clock, being nearly high water, the ship wrights commenced to cut away the shores under the vessel's bpttom, and those supports being re moved the ship, having been duly christened by Mrs. Collier, moved gradually down the ways amid the cheers of thousands of spectators, and en tered the river with a quietn( ss, grace, and ease that seemed to betoken she had gladly reached her proper element. Immediately after being launched the vessel was towed up to Deptford, where she will be fitted with engines of 500-horse power, manufactured by Messrs. Humphreys and Tennant, The guests of the Thames Ironworks Company then proceeded to one of the offices, which had been tastefully fitted up for the occasion, and there par took of a sumptuous dejeuner, with the indispens able Mr. Harker as toastmaster. Mr. P. Rolt, chairman of the company, presided, and among those present were Mr. G. W. Bentinck, M.P., Mr. Vansittart, M.P., Ismael Pasha (Gen. Kmety), Sir It. Bromley, &c. It was stated that the slip from which the Poonah has just been launched would be immediately occupied by another of simi lar character, also for the Peninsular and Oriental Company, the fleet of which now amounts to nearly 80,000 tons. LAUNCH OF THE POOPVAIL A magnificent addition was made on Saturday to the already numerous steam fleet of the Peninsular and Oriental Company by the launch of the Poonah at Blackwell. A large number of invitations to view the launch were issued by the directors of the Thames Iron Works Company (by whom the Poonah has been constructed), and thus a valuable opportu nity was afforded of inspecting the vast works con nected with that establishment. The enormous ex tent of the works, the army of workmen employed, and the gigantic size of many of the vessels in course of construction, afforded a spectacle scarcely to be equalled in any other part of this kingdom. The surprising revolution that has lately occurred in the construction of ships of war is strikingly evidenced by the fact that by far the greater amount of tonnage building in the yards of the Thames Iron Company consists of war ships, and this, too, in a time of profound peace, when there is no extraordinary pressure upon the resources of the Government dockyards, such as has formerly been the case in times of war when the aid of private shipbuilders has been called upon to supplement the efforts of the national establishments. At Black well, as our readers are aware, was built the famous Warrior, and the slip upon which that monster of the deep was built is now occupied by the Mino taur, an iron-cased ship, larger and more com pletely protected than the 'Warrior, the latter having a partial coating of iron 4+ inches thick upon a teak backing of 18 inches thickness, while the Minotaur wilt he protected from stem to stern with iron armour 51 inches thick, backed by nine inches of teak. The total tonnage of this vessel will be up wards of 6,800 tons, and as she is very far ad vanced in outward construction her gigantic bulk overtops and dwarfs other vessels in the same yard, which, by themselves, are wonders of massive strength and enormous size. The Minotaur is not the only vessel constructing by the Thames Iron Works Company for the,British navy, as, in another part of the yard is to be found the Valiant, an iron cased frigate of 4,100 tons burden, to be protected by armour plates similar to those used by the War rior. This vessel is rapidly progressing, and is ex pected to be launched in the ensuing spring. Other Governments besides our own have appreciated the vast resources of the Thames Iron Company, and accordingly we find building for the Russian Go vernment an iron floating battery 22Jft. long and 53ft. in breadth, measuring 2,800 tons, and intended to carry an armament of 26 68-pounder guns upon a draught of water of 14ft. only. This vessel is to be covered with armour plates 4+ inches thick, upon 9 inches of teak backing. The company are also commencing the construction for the Spanish Go vernment of a frigate of about 5,000 tons burden. to be covered with plates 5+ inches thick ; and for the Turkish Government another frigate of about 4,300 tons burden, to be di milarly protected. Two iron-cased gunboats for the Government of Denmark have recently been built and despatched from these works, and in addition to the im portant services rendered to the nation in the con struction of such vessels as the Warrior, Minotaur, and the Valiant, the Thames Iron Companyaes for the is also manufacturing the massive armou r p Ocean and the Royal Sovereign, which vessels arc; FATAL BOILER ACCIDENT AT 7HE GREAI WES7ERN STATION. A fatal accident took place on Saturday at the Great Western Railway Station, Paddington, by the bursting of a boiler. From information obtained at the station and at St. Mary's Hospital, it appears that three men, two of whom were named James Thomas and Stephen Bishop, were pursuing their ordinary business in the engine-house at 5.40 that morning. From some cause, which at pre sent cannot be ascertained, the boiler of the en gine named Perseus suddenly burst and killed the two men, Thomas and Bishop. The explosion was of so forcible a nature as to blow off a great part of the roof of the engine house. The engine itself was soon discovered to be a complete wreck, and a piece of the boiier, weighing 15 cwt., was thrown to a distance of 150 yards from the scene of the accident. The dead bodies of the two men were carried ;o St. Mary's Hospital to await an inquest. One of the men was mutilated in a fearful manner. The other was not very much mutilated, but both of them seem to have been instantaneously killed. The third man in the engine house sustained some injuries, but they were not supposed to be of a dan gerous ch, raoter. This man was conveyed to his residence as soon as possible after the accident. Thomas was 22. He was unmarried. Bishop was a fireman. Since the foregoing account was written we learn that another man died at St. Mary's Hospital yes terday morning from injuries received through the accident. FATAL COLLISION ON THE LONDON AND NORTH- WESTERN RAILWAY. On Saturday Dr. Lankester, the Central Middle sex coroner, held a long inquiry at the Bank of England Tavern, Praed.street, Paddington, relative to the death of Joseph Buckingham, aged 43 years, a breaksman, in the employ of the London and North-Western Railway, who was killed on that line on Tuesday last, under the following circum stances : Henry Plews said he was a guard in the service of the London and North-Western Railway, and was arriving with the train on Tuesday last, be tween the Great-Western line ond Fulham, at about 9.20 a.m., when on going down the incline, some plate-layers informed him that the train had parted. It was very foggy at the time, and he could not see behind. He told the driver to slacken his speed, and he got down and went back, when he found the waggons coming over the Great Western Bridge. They were going slowly, and he put down five breaks, but as they were on a decline the speed was increased, so he ran up to the driver and told him to go on faster, which he did. The waggons, however, rushed on and came in contact with the front part of the train. The result was that three breaks and two waggons were thrown off the line by the force of the collision. The under guard, the foreman, and waggon examiner were in breaks. They were not altogether. The deceased was in the front van. Mr. Bruyere, general superintendent of the line, explained that this witness spoke of the deceased as the under guard. Witness continued and said that the foreman and waggon examiner jumped out before the collision. By a Juror—The five breaks did not take effect The couplings had become unfastened. Mr. Bruyere said that witness had charge of the train, and it was his duty to see that the carriages were properly coupled. The coupling chains un hooked, as they frequently will. Witness, in answer to further questions, said that som9times in coming down the incline the breaks are put on to check the speed, and the hooks will then, on the train going on again, come out of the loop. He examined the coupling after the accident, and found that nothing at all was broken. Mr. Bruyere said that the incline was very great at this spot, it being 1 in 60. Piews, in answer to the Coroner, said that side couplings were not used. He did not consider them safe. Chas. Head, the engine -driver of the train, was was the next witness, and said the train was run ning from the West London Junction to Fulham Basin, and consisted of about 27 waggons and two breaks. He slackened speed to go down the incline and over the Great Western Railway Bridge. When they had got a little way down the last witness called to him that the train had broken loose. The de ceased held out his hand, standing on a stool at the corner of his brea k, and then he got on to the come see what ben in collision with ground. He miss ed si g ht of him as the Wa ggons ran down and came into collision. He saw one of : ff gi t r l d ie er. lin H e e an d d id bridge g w t the h breaks the b ca me of the deceased. William Beadle, the foreman' said he was i n th e tra in on Tuesday last. He w as i n which the deceased got after thetne break, into parted. Before the b rea k came into Waggons had collision with the bridge witness got out the break, and h e was and left the deceased in not seen again until he was found on the road over the ' bridge some time after the accident. He w as ing very niuth. _ lying on his back and groan- Lie was removed to St Mary's --------- Hospital, where he expired in a few hour from the injuries he received. Mr. Rhodes, the house surgeon, said t hat de ceased died from effusion of blood in the pelvis, and contusion of the spine. The Coroner then summed up, and a long con versation ensued as to the security of the couplings, several of the jury expressing an opinion that the fastenings were insecure. Mr. Bruyere said the hooks were of the safest description. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death, but expressed a desire to bring under the notice of the coroner a recommendation tht,t in future More secure couplings should be employed. THE RIOT AT BLACKBURN. The Town-hall, County Court-offices, anti t he private residences along Preston New-road, Bra tloh" road, and King-street, suffered chiefly from Ol e violence of the rioters at Blackburn on Thursday night. The reported "sacking" of Pleasington-hab is now stated to be utterly unfounded. About 100 persons attacked the house, but beyond the glass io eight or ten windows, no further damage was done- The besiegers were fired on, and it is said one or two were ii;jured. They took the advice of Colonel Cowdon, and decamped before a ch ar g e was made upon them. On Friday morning several persons were appre hended on a charge of riot, and brought before the borough magistrates.—The prisoners were—Thom as Kaney, John Livesey, John Richmond, James We a: dington, James Ashton, Nicholas Hindle, David Bullen (one of the liberated poachers), Roger DO' sey, and John Corless. Mr. T. Clough prosecuted, and applied for a remand till Monday next, which was granted. Applications for bail were wade IV several of the prisoners, but were refused. fn c 01 ?' sequence of the assembling of crowds of person s in the market place on Friday, the magistrates issn ,eu a notice forbidding such assemblages, and authorW ing the police to take offenders into custody. J 3 this means the large crowds of the previous der were prevented, and other measures were a dopted for the preservation of order. During the breaking of the windows of private houses on Thursday even' ing by the mob, several persons narrowly escape d severe injuries, and many were struck by the 0: 08- siles. At 3 o'clock the Relief Committee met at the Town-hall, and after some discussion passed the fol lowing conclusions :—" The Blackbth'n Relief CO' mittee consider it just to express their absolute eel' tainty that the disturbance in Blacklmh 7n on the evening of Nov. 6, incident on the convictio; tain persons of poaching, was in no sense du distress, or to the administration of relief poor-law guardians or the relief committee, friends of those convicted seem, as far as t] mittee can discover after inquiry, to be pers( out of sheer mischief commenced the break windows without discrimination, inasmuch windows of empty houses, as well as those ratives, were broken.
