ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA ; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis. Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other squally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating. this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than t o fill th e i r own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrheea, and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

But if the War-office is to adopt this argument, and ignore the valuable inventions which they have got because there may be some undiscovered ones of which they know nothing at all, elhat will become of the cer• vice, or when will a step in progress be evc,r made ? Whichever gun is proved to be best must owe its superiority to broad scientific principles, and any further improvement must therefore be merely a development of the same fundamental ideae, every step in which renders further progress less probable. If, however, there should be a dozen great improvements made in a dozen consecutive years, the public will never grudge the money for a change as long as they are convinced it is for the better. It is the gigantic sums which have been wasted on such rubbish as the Lan ch t c i a m s t i e d r ke Ho of those by wh om th e y are carr i e d ou t. T o secure o g f u n t s h e w e h e i d a i l e a nt; the of use nge s , or oi c : o a m t I l n e o a n s s t the perfect development of two such invaluable improvements as those of Armstrong and Whit worth undoubtedly are the country would never flinch from any reasonable sum that might be re quired. Fortunately, however, whichever is se lected, no further outlay, it is said, will be necessary in the way of plant or machinery ; so we may await without any pecuniary misgiving the result or the forthcoming trials, and the official proclamation as to which gun is the best of the two. This result our readers may depend upon knowing as soon as it is definitely ascertained.—Tinzes. ;, 2111? NAVY. A portion of the Channel Fleet, consisting of the screw steamships Royal Albert, 121, Capt. H. J. Lacon, bearing the flag of Admiral Sir Chas. Fre mantle, K.C.B. ; the Donegal, 101, Capt. H. Broad head ; the Aboukir, 90, Capt. Chas. F. Schomberg ; and the screw steam-frigate Melpomene, 51, Capt. C. J. F. Ewart, hove in sight at Plymouth about 6 o'clock yesterday (Tuesday) morning, with the wind from the westward, a smart breeze. They came in from sea under their three topsails, and on reaching the west-end of the breakwater took in all canvas, and proceeded under steam to the anchorage ground, the flagship taking her position well to the west ward. At 8 o'clock the flag of Port Admiral Sir Bar rington Reynolds, K.C.8., was honoured by a salute, which was acknowledged by the Impreg nable, 104, Capt. Stewart, in Hamoaze. This por tion of the Channel fleet left Lisbon on Friday, March 23, in company with the screw steamships Edgar, 91, Capt. James E. Kator ; Algiers, 91, Capt. George W. D. O'Callaghan ; Queen, 86, Capt. F. Hillyar ; Mars, 80, Capt. James N. Strange; and the screw steam-frigate Mersey, 40, Capt. Henry Caldwell, C.B. The Edgar carried away her main topsailyard on Sunday morning, when crossing the Bay of Biscay. The Edgar and Mersey have lost a man each overboard. On Monday night, off the Lizard, the Edgar, Algiers, Queen, Mars, and Mer sey parted company, and proceeded up Channel for Portsmouth. Very fine weather was experienced at first, but within the last four days strong gales from the west-north-west have prevailed, with ex traordinary heavy seas. All the ships are reported leaky; the Royal Albert will require a thorough caulking. Two Dutch ships of war were in the Tagus. The Victoria and Albert, Royal paddle-yacht, was yesterday removed from the steam basin to her moorings in Portsmouth harbour, where she re ceived her crew preparatory to her intended cruise. The Euryalus, 51, screw, Capt. Tarleton, C. 8., was undocked yesterday from No. 7 dock at Ports mouth, and placed in the steam basin, where she will receive her new boilers, and complete her re fit for further service. The Vulture, 6, paddle, Capt. George Parker, has been remov'ed from the middle harbour buoy in Portsmouth harbour, and berthed alongside the sheer jetty, where she has commenced taking out ker masts. She will pay off on Thursday (to-mor row) if possible. Rear-Admiral of the White Sir F. Maitland, ac companied by his future flag captain, Capt. Mac kenzie, yesterday paid a visit to the Bacchante, 51, screw, at Portsmouth, the intended flagship of the gallant Admiral for the Pacific station. The Siren, 16, Commander G. M. Balfour, whose arrival at Spithead on Alonday from Pernambuco was reported in The Sun of yesterday, sailed into Portsmouth harbour yesterday at 5 30 p.m., and took up a berth for stripping and paying off. The new screw steam gun vessel Landrail, in- tended to carry five guns, launched on Thursday at Deptford, having been fitted with her engines of 80 horse power, was yesterday towed down to Wool wich by the steam tug Bustler to be completed for service. Her Majesty's military store steamship Lord Panmure, H. T. Moore, commander, yesterday sailed from Woolwich, laden with Armstrong guns and other war materials. The hired transports Sarah, Secret, Robert Hay, and Royalist have commenced shipping cargoes of war stores from Woolwich arsenal, and the follow ing vessels were yesterday chartered to load from the docks, namely:—The Teal, Woodbine, Banshee, John Romilly, Lord of the Isles, and the Brisk. A huge ship's boiler, on a new principle, intro duced by the Earl of Dundonald, fitted with verti cal instead of horizontal tubes, which, in lieu of acting as flues, will contain water serving to gene rate steam, and stipulated to create an economy in the consumption of fuel, was yesterday received at Woolwich from Birmingham, and is ordered to be tested and reported on by the officers of the factory department of the dockyard for the information of the Board of Admiralty. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Y. D'Arcy Harvey, assistant clerk to the Conqueror ; A. S. Ramsay, assistant clerk supernumerary to the Nile ; J. S. Canncn, as sistant clerk to the Hawke ; and W. B. Harvey, 2d class assist.-engineer to the Victoria and Albert.

The facts occurring towards the end of' April, 1859, in the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, and the atti tude of Sardinia, grown more hostile at that t;me towards us, having compelled us to concenlrateour: military forces, by removing them from that part of the duchy that is contiguous to those t wo s t a t es , we protested on the 14th of May, 1859, against the unjust usurpation of those provinces, which the Piedmontese Government, immediately after the departure of our troops, did not delay effecting. The events of the war in Lombardy, the revolu tion already consummated at Parma, the imminence of that of "t he Legations, the violation by the French troops of our territory on the side of the Tuscan frontier, obliged us to retire, with the greater part of our troops, from the remainder ofour states,- convinced as we were of the impossibility of ma:tr:!! taming ourselves therein as an independent save -2-:,i;411 relative to enemies immensely superior -- in numbers and means. The revolutionary faction, directed and supported in every way by the Sardinian Government, ap pointedsuc- by t h e decree of June 11, 1859; and a cerded in overthrowing -th e rege nc y we had Fiedmontese commissione r im medial ely seized power and put himself at the head of the revolt. We then addressed from Villafranca, on the 22d June, 1859, a second protest, wherein deelariwe the spoliations c omm itt e d b y the Government of Sardinia to the prejudice of our sovereign., rights we referred to the declarations-- already made respecting the illegality of the acts, which every Government or power . not proceeding from us might or should have pro claimed in our states, and we thereupon appealed to the friendly and allied courts. The armistice of Villafranca lr.‘ing put a stop to hostilities between Austria and trance, the belli gerent powers drew up the preliminaries of pence, that were subsequently raised by the treaty of Zurich to the height of solemn stipulations, and both in the two former as in the latter the reesta blishment of our sovereignty was openly and in contestably covenanted -in such a way that--:Our • rights received ,frona -sanction.- • • Everyone .knows how the Fiona GOVernment hindered by its acts acts and interpretations the possibility of our restoration; and how the Sar dinian Government, though it also signed the treaty of Zurich, continued disloyally through its organs and representatives, or whatever their titles may have been, to dispose as a master of our state, and to assimilate it to its own. The recent decree of annexation, which they take pains asupp t o o h s eedx universal as the sucffornasgequ suffrage, e w o h f i t c h h e i v n o tbeesi being extended to the /Emilia, includes also our states, completes the series of unjust and illegal acts by which they have succeeded in depriving us of the sovereignty that we had inherited from our ances tors, after they had exercised it for many centuries —a sovereignty which, at the close of events analo gous to the present ones, was by the treaty of Vienna in 1815, acknowledged and restored in favour of our family by the whole of Europe, for tunately at that time united by coalition, and trium phant over the revolution. - We believe then that . we are fulfilling a most sacred duty by protesting, as we herewith do pro test, once more in the face of Europe 'against a similar act that is an infraction of all our rights, after it had been based on violence, and after the victories of a powerful ally had been turned to ac count in order to obtain an aggrandisement long coveted and long prepared by fraudulent and tree. cherous means; against an act that is based on a principle opposed to every dynastic system ; against an act, in short, that in its execution is devoid of every guarantee derived from good faith, having been conceived, followed up, and controlled by those very persons who had ex c l u d e d th e vo ti ng i n f avour - of the legitimate and pre-existing power; by those very persons, we say, who, relying . on a strong armed force constantly maintained in our states, employ deceit and intimidation for the purpose of exercising an overwhelming pressure upon the po pular vote. The faithful troops by whom we have been ac companied into the territory of his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, and who received them so generously and hospitably—these troops who in cessantly preserve for us an unshakeable fidelity and devotedness; the number of the distinguishedpersons who by their voluntary emigration protested against the change of rule effected in our states ; the still greater number of those who underwent imprison ment, persecutions of every kind, and the loss of their situations, or who spontaneously resigned the public offices they filled, exposing themselves in many instances to privations rather than abjure their principles or fail in their duty as loyal subjects; the avoidance of all participa tion in the present state of things on the part of the great thajority of the upper classes in Modena and of the clergy; lastly, the frequent manifestations of fidelity that broke out in the rural districts, notwithstanding the most active vigilance, and although immediately suppressed— all these are so many proofs that this pretended universal suffrage, from which the Sardinian usur pation derives an appearance of legality, is merely the result of that perfidy and wrong that from the outset distinguished the conduct of the Piedmontese Government and of its adepts. This solemn declaration, that we also make for our successors, has chiefly for its object to protest against all prejudice against the rights of soverignty appertaining to us in virtue of descent, and sanc tioned as well as guaranteed by the European powers. We protest likewise against the spoliations committed, against the usurpations consummated, against the universal suffrage adopted or simulated to that behoof, against the losses we have endured therefrom, and against those we may still have to endure, against the losses and prejudices, in short, to which, in consequence of these unjust and illegal acts, the faithful part of our subjects may be ex posed. We wish to have recourse, and we again appeal for support to the powers that guaranteed the trea ties, 'being certain on our part that they will never admit the right of the strongest, or the theory of the supposed universal suffrage, since such a prin sctioptlees,? w h o h u o g s h e r applied e a I t ,e p r r t h e s e e l n e s t s t a o r o e ncieu quite t a h s e s aesmallsacred as those of the largest, might hereafter, by the analogy of reason, be extended to all the other states, and so attack the existence of every Euro pean monarchy.' Penetrated with the sentiments of our duty to wards our faithful subjects, we declare, finally, that adversity shall never force us to renounce our rights of sovereignty over our States ; and being convinced that we are thus fulfilling the trusts reposed in us by Divine Providence, we shall await future events with the firm h o p e that the justice of God will put a limit to the machinations, from which States and peoples are the victims, by securing one day the triumph of the good cause.

THE ACCIDENT ON TIIE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.—The adjourned inquiry into the cause of the death of George Alexander Falconer, who expired on the 11th of March from injuries sustained by the accident at Tottenham on the 20th of February, wig; resumed yesterday afternoon before Mr. Humphreys, in the Sir John Cass Tavern Victoria-road, South Hackney. Mr. Ser g eant Ballantine appeared for the Eastern Counties Railway . Company, and Mr. Humphreys (of Humphrey, Morgan, and Co.) for the widow of the deceased. The greater num ber of the scientific gentlemen connected with railwar and the manufacture of iron who gave evidence at the Totten ham inquiry were also present. 'I he only new evidence of a scientific kind which was produced, was that which was given by Sir Charles Fox. In answer to questions by Mr. Humphreys, Sir Charles stated that he had examined with great care the tire which had broken and occasioned the ac cident. The fracture had been occasioned by a weld which had never been perfect, but he was of opinion that if the tire of the wheel had been properly blocked it would have given certain indications which would have informed a care ful workman that a defect existed. In cross-examination by Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, Sir Charles said that very defects in tires might r emain undet ected by the systems ma ll bl oc king he had referred to, but he thou g ht t h e defect whicohf caus ed the accident was originally too large not to have given. , tleirioilwaltsoorni an engineer ronworks, and Sout h - Western Railway, wore 3,1‘ indications rr Fenton of et hn i eg t nn e ea x en i r s a t og e fe n rt c ho e ef . then called Beattie,by Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, and each of them gave an opinion disagreeing with t h at of Sir Charles Fox.

The mail steamer Ripon, arrived at Southamp ton, brings us advices from Morocco, via Gibraltar, ,o the 26th ult. Accounts from Tetuan of that date state that pre vious to the movement of the Spanish army on the 23d towards the intrenched position of the Moors orders were issued to embark the siege train of the army and the baggage of the Commander-En-Chief on board the Princesa de Asturias steam-frigate, bearing the flag of Admiral Bustillos, and other war steamers, for conveyance to within a league on this side of Tangier, where the train was to be landed. The men•of--war were then to proceed to the Bay of Tangier for the purpose of making a combined simultaneous attack by land and sea on that city. The subsequent signing of the peace, however, pre vented this arrangement being carried into execu tion. The baggage was again landed on the 2Gth at Port Martin. The sea was so rough that many of the launches belonging to the transports engaged in landing provisions, &c., were upset by the heavy surf, and an immense amount, of property is said to have been lost. It is stated that in the action of the 23d the Moors stood the Spanish bayonet charge with undaunted valour. The Catalonian volunteers, whose effective strength was 250 men, are said to have had 200 men put . hors de combat. _ _ Upwards of 200 troops, wounded in the engage ment of the 23d, were landed at the Orange Grove on the 26th. They were conveyed to the San Roque hospitals. Fifteen of the wounded soldiers died on the passage previously to the steamers reaching the Spanish coast. Another batch of wounded reached Algeciras on the morning of the 27th, others having been conveyed to Cadiz and Malaga. The whole of the Spanish men-of-war, including the Princesa de Asturias steam frigate, having Ad miral Bustillos's flag, as well as the fleet of steam and other transports that were off Tetuan, had, owing to the strong east wind, gone to the Puente Mayorga for shelter. The Gibraltar Chronicle of the 28th ult. says:— " The gratifying intelligence given in yesterday's number regarding the preliminaries of peace having been signed by Muley Abbas and the General-in- Chief of the Spanish army of operations in Africa, thus putting an end to further effusion of human blood, is fully corroborated by a letter received after the hour of publication, written by a trustworthy officer who was present with his corps at the san guinary battles of the 23d inst. It is dated from the camp near the Fondue, March 25, 12 o'clock noon, and is as follows . "' I have to thank the Almighty for having spared me once more, after the bloody battle fought the day before yesterday. Our losses have been great, very great ! It is believed that they must have amounted to at least 1,500 men between killed and wounded. The loss of the Moors is estimated at nearly 5,000. We yesterday rested while the Moors presented themselves to have a parley ; and to-day, at last, peace has been made. At the hour I am writing the General-in-Chief notifies the happy event to the whole army. It is believed that we shall very soon return to Spain.' " We glean the following particulars from a pri vate letter, dated Tetuan, March 24, 8 a.m.:— "' The state of the roads between the port of Martin and Tetuan was very unsafe, and the people were afraid of their lives, as only 4,000 men re mained to garrison the positions from the beach to the town. It was given as positive in Tetuan that the loss of the Spaniards in the battle of the 23d was estimated at upwards of 2,000. The writer believes they could not be less, judging by the very large numbers of wounded that he saw continually breught in. The Catalonian volunteers are said to have had only 40 men left intact out of their num ber. The Madrid Light Infantry suffered very severe losses. The Biscayan volunteers were also en gaged, and had a great number killed and wounded. The First and Second Commandants of the Catalo nians were wounded, but whether severely or slightly is not stated. The civil population, by an order from the Spanish authorities, were prohibited leaving the town." The Algeciras ligja Suelta gives the following details of the battle of the 23d : " The Moors, posted on the heights of Gualdras, were the first to open a terrific fire upon our troops, who attacked them with unequalled boldness. The enemy kept firm, bravely defending his camp for several hours. General Echague advanced with the first corps, flanked by General Rios's division, whose forces jointly sustained the brunt of the combat, while General Ros de Olano occupied the centre, and General Prim the other flank. " In the meantime the Moors had dared to make a movement, endeavouring to surprise or to turn the flank of General Rio's division, but they attacked him rashly, and all was in vain, their efforts being thwarted at the point of the bayonet by our brave soldiers, though inflicting some severe losses on the battalions more exposed to the fire of the enemy. The heights were successively taken, and there were moments of a pell-mell and confusion in which bayonets and gumias crossed. We caused them an awful and very considerable carnage. " General Prim's division twice took a douar which was most tenaciously defended by the enemy, until the General ordered it to be set on fire. " In one of the charges made by the Cuirassiers of El Principe their commander, Senor Pujada, was killed. " The Moors commenced retreating, but, being harassed by Generals Echague's and Prim's divi sions, they took to flight. " The battalions which have suffered most are the Tarifa and Madrid, and the Saragossa Regiment." The lloja also publishes the following from the Minister of the Interior : " Camp of Gualdras,March 25, 1 p.m. " Yesterday the envoys of Muley Abbas again presented themselves as the bearers of a letter, in which earnest desires for peace were manifested, and demanding an interview, which was acceded to on condition that the propositions already sent should be accepted, and that the hour of meeting be notified by half-past 6 on the following morning, for at that hour the troops would be on the march. The emissaries did not keep us waiting long ; the tents were already struck, and the troops ready to move, when news was received that the Caliph would come to the interview when S and 9 o'clock in the morning ; this actually took place, and he was received in a tent pitched at a distance of 600 paces from our advanced posts. " March 25, 2 p.m.—The preliminaries of peace and the celebration of an armistice having been signed today, the army proceeds to station itself within the line of Buseja's Bridge, which is the divisory one—a position easily and quickly assisted and provisioned." Accounts from Mazagan to the 23d ult. state that the commercial transactions between the Moors in the country and the townspeople con tinued pretty steady, notwithstanding the unsettled state of the interior, where great effervescence among the wild tribes was spoken of. Wool and hides find their way into the market of the town, where there seemed to be a good demand for these articles. The prohibition of the export of wheat, decreed by the Moorish Government on account of the war with Spain, continued in full force ; but the grain purchased and stored by foreign agents previous to this order was allowed free course. The Diana, Lombard master, was in port, expecting to tloade a a r g cargooes of of wool. Other vessels expected, h which, consisting of wool, skins, &c., were ready for shipment. About the middle of the month one of the Emperor's youngest brothers, named Muley Dris, about 22 years of age, paid a flying visit to Mazagan, accompanied by a strong escort of cavalry, well mounted and equipped ; and, after going through some evolutions in presence of the people of the town and taking some rest, the Prince paid a visit to Mr. Redman in town, and then proceeded with his escort to that gen tleman's country residence, where he took up his quarters. THE WHITWO.RTIT AND ARMSTBONG GUNS. Since the conclusion of Mr.Whitworth's valuable experiments at Southport a tabular summary of the result of each trial of the 3, 12, and 80-pomaders, at different degrees of elevation has been carefully prepared. This table shows such marvellous results to have been obtained with each description of ord nance, both has regards range and accuracy, that we give it to our readers in extenso, in order that they may see that our first estimate of the great power of the Whitworth gun has been already borne out by these results.

All these experiments, be it remembered, were conducted from first to last by amateur gunners, without accident or delay of any kind, and during the prevalence of wind and weather both about the most unfavourable that could well be imagined for obtaining good average results of range alone. As these successes appear to have excited the attention of engineers and scientific artillerists throughout Europe, and, above all, of the many supporters of the that Armstrong principle for rifled cannon, we feel sere will be interested in o ur aga i n o u r readers referring to this subject. Since the great success of the Whitworth gun was first published in this journal, that gentleman has continued to demonstrate the scientific prin ciples on which his ordnance are constructed by eliciting from fresh experiments a regularly pro gressive increase of range and accuracy. Mr. Sid ney Herbert has, therefore, stated in the House that as the Whitworth guns had exceeded the Arm ; strong in range, and very nearly, as far as could be judged from the rough experiments, equalled it in accuracy, the Government were prepared to take the usual steps to give both a competitive trial at ShoGburyness. This very fair decision of the War office has given rise to some dissatisfaction among many, of the supporters of the Armstrong gun, who allege that Mr. - Whitworth has only ob tained greater range by reducing the diameter of his projectile, and of course, therefore, the bore of the cannon itself; quite forgetting that, as long as that gentleman can prove that a great improvement is brought about by the adoption of certain principles, the public mid the military authorities will care very little whether the principles themselves are new or old. By Mr. Whitworth's plan of reducing the diameter of the shot, and therefore the bore of the gun, he contends that not only are the range and accuracy increased, but the gun itself can be constructed of the same relative strength of metal though nearly two-thirds lighter than the ordinary brass guns. The value of this reduction in weight, by allowing fewer horses and fewer men to manceuvre heavier guns at greater speed, must be apparent to any one, more especially to those who have seen what a very little way the largest transports in the service go towards transporting two or three ordinary field batteries, with their present complement of 21 wag gons and carriages, 250 horses, and some 250 men. The celebrated three-pounder gun of Whitworth, with carriage and limber complete, could be brought into action and manceuvred and served with the utmcst rapidity by two horses and two men only. In this respect, however, the Whitworth gun has no acivantage over that of Armstrong ; on the con trary, as far as we have seen, the Armstrong large guns tre much lighter. It has been stated as a kind of objection to the almost astounding results both fer range and accuracy which Mr. Whitworth obtained at Southport with such small charges of powder, that Sir William Armstrong had only con structed his ordnance with a view to securing ac curacy, and that had he chosen to construct a gun for range alone he would have distanced Mr. Whit worth is that respect. In the articles which ap peared in the Times on the manufacture of the Armstrong gun, we pointed out the futility of the difference which is sometimes sought to be drawn between the terms " long range" and " great accu racy," *ten in truth they mean one and the same thing. Guns are only made with one object, which is, after nll, thnt of throwing their shot in the straightest line, and it therefore of necessity follows that the gun which can send its shot furthest in a straight line secures the greatest accuracy by attain ing the greatest range. To suppose that any ord nance can be made for long range and not attain certain accuracy also is to suppose it possible thafthe more a shot deviates from a straight line, the greater will be the distance it can eventually accomplish,— a proposition which we think few will venture to support. Sir William Armstrong himself, how ever, is far too experienced a gunner to have sug gested this difference between range and accuracy which has been so hastily advanced by some of his many admirers. He states that beyond a certain distance range for general purposes has no practical value, and that as for artillerymen firing in the field gud a i at eh teni b objects fiveut eye, ye theirmiles to they might as well fire at the moon. It is not only a question of which shot goes furthest, but what the shot effects when it does reach the mark. The formation of his gun, he states, has not been his chief or only object, which, in fact, has been as much directed to invent ing the most destructive projectile. he has been t the attain ment m T To e s l l e e c a u r t e o t g h i i N e a u l p l -i t m o p a o c r e t r a t n a t i n o b e j x e tee t n , of an immense range, and increase the diame ter of his gun in order to enable it to carry the Armstrong shell, which for terrible destructiveness deserves to be almost more celebrated than the gun itself. Thus he states that as yet no fair comparison can be drawn between the results he has achieved while trying only for destructive effect, and the re sults obtained by a gun which was merely fired for range. The real test as to their merits both he and Mr. Whitworth very justly maintain can only be got by putting the two guns side by side, and trying them under similar conditions for range, accuracy, and above all for destructive effect. It has been suggested that there is room in the service for both the Armstrong and Whitworth guns, as each wea pon has it's peculiar attributes and its peculiar sup porters. This, however, is taking a view of the case in which we think neither the public nor the War-office is at all likely to agree. Sir "William Armstrong claims to have constructed his gun on certain fundamental princ;ples ; these Mr. Whit worth disregards, and forms his gun as unlike Sir William's in principle as two guns can well be. Now, both these ordnance cannot be right, and whichever comes out of the trials at uhoeburyness triumphantly—whether it be the Whitworth or Sir William's—that is the gun to be eventually adopted in both services as soon as is consistent with the present immense demand for rifled ord nance of almost any kind. Each gun, as we have said, is so essentially diffe rent in its principles, that, except that they are both guns, and both breech-loaders, there is no other point, of similarity between them. The Arm strong is made of coils of wrought iron joined into one tube, the pitch of its rifling is one turn in 10 feet, azd its rifling itself is 38 fine sharp grooves. The breech is formed by a long chamber fitting on to the end of the gun, into which works a power ful hollow screw, which, when screwed up, jams the breech-piece, which is dropped before it, into the end of the tube, and so makes the perfect gun. The conical shot is, of course, compound—that is, coated at the shoulder and base with rings of lead, to enable the soft metal to take the rifling. These rings of lead are expensive as compared with iron, and difficult to fix, and the shot must be driven through the hollow screw into the breech of the gun with care, or accidents would be likely to happen which might spoil the rifling of the gun. The friction on the shot in taking the rifling is enormous, and to this the recoil of the gun was at one time supposed to be due. But this was a mis take, for, allowing for the difference of weight be tween guns and projectiles, the recoil of all ord nance must be in mechanical proportion to the ye locity with which the shot leaves the gun. That the friction on the shot, however, is very great may. 'ae judged from the fact that we have ourselves seen an Armstrong glin, from the muzzle of which no't only the rifling, but the metal of the barrel itself had been stripped out in places like so much paper. The Armstrong shell, as a tremendous engine of warfare, is never likely to be surpassed in destruc tiveness, though, we should think, it can be adapted to be used from rifled breech-loading can non of all kinds. This, however, remains to be seen. The Whitworth gun, as distinguished from the Armstrong, is bored from one solid cylinder of homogeneous iron, a metal, which, in our humble judgment, we take to be only another term for soft tough steel. There is no rifling as is generally understood by the term ha the bore, which is a plain hexagon, making one complete turn, which varies with the diameter of the gun. Thus there is one turn in about eight feet in the largest guns (from 50 to 120 pounders), one com plete turn in five feet in the medium sized ordnance (12 or 32 pounders), and one complete turn in three feet four inches in the small guns, or from 3to 12 pounders. All the guns above 18- ' pounders are hooped round with rings of iron forced on by hydraulic pressure—an additional strength which is apparently not required, and which in weight gives the Armstrong guns of the same cali bres a most important advantage. The breech loading arrangement is a hinge at the end of the gun supporting a hoop of iron, in which is the breech or cap which screws on to the end of the piece, according to the way in which we have so often described it to our readers already. The shot is of cast iron, and in form precisely like a ninepin, with its thickest part at the middle pared off to fit with mechanical precision the hexagonal sides of the bore. Thus the projectile has a bearing surface on the whole of the barrel, and runs freely in or ' out of the gun, so that in case of an enemy's shot striking the breech and jamming the screw, or other injury to it, the gun could be used a muzzle-loader with the same facility as an ordinary smooth-bore field-piece. We need scarcely say that this is not the case with the Armstrong, anything happening to the arrangement of the breech at once rendering the gun useless till another breech is fitted on at the factories at Elswick or Woolwich. No exertion of force which could be applied to the gun in the field would get the shot down the barrel of the Armstrong; and nothing short of the pressure of several tons would suffice to overcome the friction which is offered by the double rings of lead to the exit of the shot at the muzzle. With the Whit worth gun there is no chamber for the reception of shot and powder, and no rings—an advantage of the utmost importance. The Armstrong chamber adds to the length of the gun, without being rifled or assisting in impelling the shot in any way. With the Whitworth the gun is rifled throughout its entire length from end to end, and every inch is used to aid the flight and give rotation to the projectile. From the chamber in the Armstrong being of a certain size, it follows that only shot of a certain length can be used. In the Whitworth, on the contrary, it is con tended that shots of any length, or a charge of powder of any strength, can be used indifferently. Thus the three,l2, and 80 pounders are, in fact, only guns of the calibre we mention as long as they are required to throw a distance of sor 5 miles. Re duce this enormous range to the distance at which long-range guns are generally used—say 3,000 yards—and the length of the projectiles of these ordnance may be more than doubled, the three pounder used for 91b. shot, the 12-pounder for 321 b., and the 80-pounder for a shot of even 2001 b. In naval warfare great weight must be attached to these advantages. Twelve-pounder boat guns could be used as 12-pounders or 36-pounders, according to the distance at which they chose to engage, while ships could double-shot or even treble-shot their broadside guns as they closed with an enemy. The only limit, in fact, to the number of shots with which the Whitworth can be loaded when engaged at close quarters is the limit to the strength of the powder to eject them. Thus, in the course of the experiments tried to ascertain this fact, it was found that the three-pounder got rid of 10 shots placed one over another at one discharge, but failed to eject 11, when all the powder in the charge burnt out like a squib through the touchhole, leav ing the shots in the gun. In the course of the same experiments Mr. Whitworth fired from a common howitzer a projectile 10 diameters long, and also fired a small cannon, 22 inches long, with the pitch of its rifling making one complete turn in every inch ; in fact, the inside of this latter barrel was a perfect screw. Yet the projectile from this had an extraordinary amount of penetration. This fact is so difficult to believe till one sees the rapidity with which the hexagonal shot glides down the most rapid turn of rifling that one of our contemporaries has actually given credence to the monstrous canard that the Whitworth cast-iron shots have been crushed to fragments by the rifling, and " come forth from the gun in a state of powder !" As the Armstrong is now used without Sponging out, Mr. Whitworth's advantage in this respect has been neutralised. As regards cost the Armstrong is now being manufactured for as low as £lO3 per gun. The cost of the Whitworth is at present quite double this amount, though it might be reduced to as low as or even slightly lower than the cost of the Armstrong if the barrel were manufactured of tubes of rolled bar iron, instead of the homogeneous metal, which is very expensive, and certainly for all practical purposes of gunnery is not stronger, we believe, than the wrought iron of Armstrong, or even stronger than the extraordinary wrought iron now making for guns at the Mersey Steel works at £l9 a ton. If in the trials of the two guns et Shoeburyness the Whitworth is found•to be the best, and is ordered to be adopted, and its tube made on the wrought-iron plan which the Government use with the Armstrong, the only cost, it is stated, of altering the machinery at Elswick and Woolwich to suit the new manufacture would be some £5 or £lO for a new form of cutter for the boring, or rather the hexagonal rifling. Not another part of the machinery need be altered or even made to move faster or slower, though much of it might be disused altogether. Very many of the supporters of the Armstrong allege that it is useless adopting every improve- THE ARMY. It is understood that the department of the Ad jutant• General of Royal Engineers will be shortly removed from Chatham to Whitehall. The 86th (Royal County Down) Regiment, sta tioned at Gosport, have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to proceed to Aldershot in about 14 days. Brevet-Major Palmer's Ist battery, Ist brigade, garrison Artillery, yesterday left Woolwich for Shoeburyness, to relieve Brevet -Major Clifford's 7th battery, 2cl brigade, ordered to proceed to Dover. Two additional batteries are about to be added to the depot at Woolwich, to be named the 9th and 10th batteries , for the purpose of embody ing the corps of non-effective men employed in the garrison, such as officers' servants, and men who, under ordinary circumstances, are not subject to parade and drill. Since the disuse of corporal punishment, which has been unknown at Woolwich for many months past, it is stated that the crime of desertion is of less frequent occurrence, as verified by the official returns from the corps of Royal Artillery and Royal Marines, as well as the other divisions of the army stationed at Woolwich. This is accounted for by the known fact of numbers of desertions having been induced solely by the terror of the lash, which, up to the moment when corporal run ishment was ordered to be held in abeyance, was resorted to, in some weeks, every day except Sa turday and Sunday. THE GREAT EASTERN. --A fatal accident occu rre d on Sunday from the capsizingof a boat which was leaving this leviathan ship, and the foreman of the carpenters who are at work on board was unfortunately drowned. There were five or six other persons in the boat, but they were saved, the unfortunate carpenter being the only person drowned. • NB's ; Ma 164
