The former must be laden as little as possible, and for them the need must always be " the greatest strength obtainable from the least weight." The latter demand rather " the greatest strength at the least cost." The Russian defences of Cronstadt are just at pre sent held up for our imitation, and an idea seems to prevail that whole forts are faced with 15-inch armour plates, backed by a further layer of 6-inc or 7-inch armour plates. It is not so. The batteries arc constructed in several different ways, which have been varied from to time as the work pro ceeded. The 23-gun battery at Fort Constantine, for instance, illustrates no less than three different methods of construction. One of them shows in succes,ion from the front first a 61-incli plate, then a 6-inch teak let into an angular frame of 1 inch thickness, backed by a plate of 1 inch in rear of all. The face has a slope of 22 degrees. Another hits a 7i-in. plate in front, and also slopes back at an angle of 22 degrees. The third is perpendicular, and built up of Thornyeroft's bars, which were rolled at Millwall. The plates on the first-named battery certainly and some of the others were made by Petin and Gaudet. The battery which is most fre quently quoted as an example to Englishmen, or rather the three shields for three guns each, may, perhaps, be understood by the following rough de scription number of bars 13ft. 4in. long, by 12in. thick, and 12in. high, are laid horizontally one upon another, fitting together along their lengths by grooves and projections. At the back of each bar is another projection three inches in length, in the form of the frustrum of a cone. This dovetails into perpendicular supports of considerable thickness placed behind it. And because the Russians found that this mass of metal had little structural cohe sion, two Winch plates have been placed in front of the bars and bent over the top. The great advan tage claimed for Thornycroft's bars was their cheap ness compared with other forms of plating, and this is true enough, as far as they are concerned. But when it was found necessary to back them so strongly and to wrap other plates round them the aspect of the case was considerably changed. Such erections as these cost over £3,000 per gun for the shield alone, the dimensions being 14ift. long by Bft. high. Our English shields cost less than £l,OOO per gun, their dimensions being 12ft. by Bft. The English casemate costs for its iron work a total of under £3,000 per gun. If built on the Russian model, its cost would be £6,800 per gun nearly. Now, calculations based on the above experiment at ShoeburYness would seem to declare that such an iron wall as is proposed to be built at Plymouth will resist a 600-pounder gun fired close to it, and a 20-inch American gun under the same conditions. If, however, it should be found not to have the full strength claimed for it, and if we insist on meeting 5-inch plates—a scuhcehapeiurqw-Robaadbdleancoitrhcuertusltaaynecreosi 1 't w ould be far task that could be executed without the slightest a ffi b c l u e, l ty.e know dstigc o t n h s e t r h u e c a t v i e n s . t is g u exceedingly of at present, and further additions of armour can capable The o present e et in be made without deranging the structure, and at a very moderate cost. It will be an interesting but a costly experiment to fire at such a target and try exactly what it will stand ; but to keep out every projectile for ever is a task unworthy of considera tion. When the circulars were sent out inviting tenders for the iron defences of Portsmouth and Hs Pl ym outh, ironmasters were asked whether they cou ld suggest anyt hin g better at the price. in the infallibility of Government offices ; but, if anything better been found ? We are no believers a substitute let us at least know what is proposed as delay and changes are to be urged upon the country, xperime have declared factory, and wh ich r ecent e nts for plans which have hitherto been c onsidered satis to have even gre ater strength than has been gene rally supposed.—Times. z G PRICE.... 4d. STAMPED sd. and an additional coil was superadded along the entire length of the chase extending from the trun nions to the muzzle. The gun, which until then had a 91 -inch bore and weighed 164 tons, was thus in creased to 181 tons. Notwithstanding the heavy expenditure from time to time in rendering it a model, and the desire of the authorities to bring it out as an experimental gun on the system on which the 101 inch guns of the service were then intended to be manufactured, the general opinion was favour able. The experiments were made from time to time in the pre,sence of the Ordnance Select Committee and others, under favourable circumstances, with charges of powder increased to 601 b., when at the 193 d round the breech was blown out. On exami nation it was found that the coils of the tube had yielded from the repeated hammering and concus sion, and the gas having found its way into the crevices the head of the tube was blown off, carry ing with it the cascablo and the entire breech of the gun. It was landed yesterday on the gun-wharf at Woolwich from the Arsenal transport lighter Baltic, to be placed in position on the ground facing the royal gun factories, known as the Cemetery, amid a large number of guns which have similarly failed to sustain the required test. In our notice of paying off the Princess Royal, Capt. Seccombe was stated to be the commander, instead of Capt. W. G. Jones. SHIPS AN]) FORTS. The late experiments at Shoeburyness have been fertile in interest. We have seen the 15-inch American gun with American powder and American shot defeated by a target which has been repeatedly pierced by an English gun of less than two-thirds its weight, firing shells with a smaller charge of powder. We have also seen one of these same English 9-inch guns endure more than 1,000 rounds with battering charges, and remain perfectly sound only requiring to be revented once. Our artillerists have found a remedy for the one great danger to rifled guns—the danger of destroying the grooves by high charges; for by placing a thin papier machd wad between powder and projectile the windage is closed and the gas, with its burden of solid particles, can no longer dash itself against the edges of the grooves, so that the life of a rifled gun will for the future be prolonged to a considerable extent. We know that the spherical shells, which can alone be fired from smooth bore guns, have no power what ever against iron plated targets of very moderate thickness, and as for putting in higher charges and risking the awful effects of a burst gun in a turret, no officer would be mad enough to affront so ter rible a ruin with its attendant demoralisation to the crew for the sake of one penetration. Grant that the shot perforates th e opposing vessel, how many chances are there to one that it does so at a spot that will cause a leak? And if it did cause a leak, are there no such things asplugs to close it? People frequently talk nowadays as if sips ust be abso lutely invulnerable, and sailors are for m the future to lead charmed lives. 'We seem to forget the host of resources which seamen have for keeping water out of a wounded ship. A square hit from a ram must be destruction, but a warship may float and fight effectively with a good many holes in her sides. Demoralise her crew if you can by a stream of pro jectiles, especially shells poured constantly into her, and they must haul down their flag or be driven from their guns ; but even were she lying like a log on the water it would take many rounds of artillery fire to sink her. A great deal has been said about "racking," but whatever may be the action of a shot, it cannot be considered as effective if, like the American gun the other day, it leaves the inner skin without a single hole of any sort. 'There is another argument in favour of the Eng lish system which has been strangely neglected. Suppose that the big smooth bore fires its big shot and makes its big hole between wind and water. Suppose that the crew neglect to plug this big hole and that the ship sinks. An enemy's vessel has gone down and is of no further use to anybody. But if the rifled guns succeed in turning the batteries op posed to them into a slaughterhouse no longer ten able the enemy surrenders and one more man of war is added to the victorious navy. Another experiment was made lately at Shoe bnryness which is more interesting in its deductions than in its detai ls. It has long ago been prov ed that different plates of equal excellence will, if unbacked, op pose a resistance to shot nearly proportional to the squares of their respective thicknesses. But, be sides the well-known fact that after a certain thick ness large plates cannot be worked so evenly and as thinner ones, fe w people can have supposed, certainly experiment has never demonstrated, that the same proportion will bold good if the thin plates be placed in support of each other, and thoroughly r i ve t e d together. The one solid plate w ill always have an advantge if really well made, but not to the same extent as if the thin ones were attacked sepa rately. The trial referred to was as follows :—Three masses of iron, each 7in. thick, were exposed Nothing the fire of the 7- inch muzzle-loadingrified gun. was put behind the iron as a backing. The thinner p l a t es backed each other. The first target was a sold 7 inch plate, the second was formed of two 3} inch plates, the third of three 2- inch plates, well bolted together. Had the empi rical rule of the squares of the thicknesses been ap plicable under the conditions of the case, the ratios of resistance, taking the inch as a unit, ought to have been for the solid plate 49, for the two 16. But 31 inch a b o ut 24, for the three 2i i n ch plates about what really declared itself as the result of the day's wor k may be shown very simply as follows : h the To pass an o g ival-head Palliser shot throug solid plate required 151-Ib. of powder in the 7 inch gun. T o perform the same feat upon the two 3i inch p l a t e s needed 141 b ; upon the three 21 inc h plates 131 b. 'The energy of the projectile.was in the first case 61 foot tons per inch of shot's circumference; in the second 57 ; and in the third 52. very different from These ratios are manifestly that considerable strength may those deduced on the rule of the sqhueareehsta, ainneddshinowa ' sisting power of a solid plate o t equal built up target, though it will neverf uegalutahlitehkenearea-. vernment asks Parliatnen an d a caerytishieaklrneesaday are e ro r a e d - The subject is one of great imp f e o h r ta th ry e aGuom emd longof d o r e modern ye rifleds ironf t. t t oha b t u a i e ld lid iro pi n a f te o a rts ef wi a t n h, immense snipete artillery.t o Thepkeep ou l a t u the ,at projectilesp repaleaette sprf2eripofomts. them a row of vertical behind them and behind them again laid d ts n i i h t t y t front l s ly i . similar plates 16in. by Sin. laid horizontally.

Strong bolts Pass from the front through all the plates, aud bind every pair of uprights tightly to the armour by clamps and nuts. There can be no question that the compound structure is fax cheaper than the solid iron plate. The only doubt is whether sufficient strength can be obtained. So far experiments tend to show that it can, and before criticising too sharply the War-office designs it would be well to know what is proposed in exchange for them. There is a general tendency to insist on invulnerability for forts and ships, and men argue as if an enemy could lay his ships close alongside a sea fort and bombard it at leisure. IVar is a very different affair from that, and it is time some understanding should be come to on such subjects. Fortifications are not intended to act as impregnable caves into which soldiers may creep and cower for safety nay, such would surely induce demoralisation, but rather as obstacles to arrest or delay the advance of au enemy who has a specific object in view. The eloleuts of the case are u ot quite the same -__7- -- - THE HUDSON BAY COMPANY. The Hudson Bay Territory having ceased to be as he a source of profit to the company may now be regarded int market for sale to the highest bidder. At the last meet ing of the company in London the dividends for the year were merely nominal, amounting to only £1 sterlion ng per er sharp. This slend er mar g in was apologised for grounds of dulness of trade in British Columbia and Van couver's Island. It als o trans p irod that the acquitisio the n of Russ i an America was a sou ree of loss, by depriving country of the right, formerly enjoy od by it, of hunting on a portion of the mainland on the payment of a nominal rent. A more ominous cause of loss arose from a er fiodicalalling off in the supp l y of fur, owing to a supposed p diminution in the number of animals. This last fact must bo taken into account by Mr. Seward when driving a bar gain for territory. The conclusion of the whole matter is that the Hudson B a y Company has cease d to bo a paying institution, and the managers would like to sell out. It is not quite clear what the company has got to soli. They may be only able to dispose of their interest in the fur business without being in a posit ion to g ive a title to the country. Probably the English authorities may claim the sovereignty, and interpose to prevent any sale that may not be in accord ance with the interests of the Imperial Government. Waiving this point, we find that the country may be di s a - posed of in ono o f three ways. It may be d into crown colony, annexed to the new Dominion of Canada, or sold to the United States. Failing the purchase of the country by our Government its eroction into a Crown colony ould be tho more ob vious mode of dealing with it. The now Canadian Go vernment woold Government course, as it would thus throw upon the Home the heavy initial to of governing and taking care of a wild an a d vast reg ong time ion, that can not bo rendered pecuniarily profitble for a l t o come, if ever. B ut this is just what the English Go vernment wishes to avoid. There is a growing conviction in;England ever sinc e the times of Goorgo Washington, the that c olonies are not worth the ex p enses of keeping them, andevent f ee ling would probably be that if Canada wishes to pr the country from falling under the control of the United States it must at once a ssume the duties and responsibili ties of ownership and pay its own bills. While this bickering is going on between the Now Do minion and the English Government, it appears that the negotiations with Mr. Seward for the sale of the territory h ave gone further th an is generally supposed. Sir Francis Head, Mr. Watkins, and other managers of the company, growing tired of the shabby course of the Cana dian a uthorities as mani fested by their evident dis strposi tion to undervalue the purchase, as well as thestrong pro b a bility that Canada cou ld not pay cash for it, entered into negotiations with the United States Government. It was this fact occasioned the recent rumours that Mr. Se ward had effected a treaty with the British Government for the purchase. It was not with tho English GOVOTIIMOII4 however, that our Secretary of State n was in treaty, but with the Hudson Bay Company, and we understand that the whole matter will be shortly presented to Congress for action. The acquisition of this territory by our Government would be more important in a political than in a commer cial point of view. But it would d world by rentally benounding efit our commerc i a l interest in that part of the off an d c onsolidating our new possessions.—Neto York Bulletin.

'in the chair. The report which the Directors have now to make to the proprietors has reference not only to tho progress of the Company during the past year, but also to the more important consideration of its financial condition at the close of another quinquennium and of the long term of sixty years from. the date of its establishment. As regards the progress of the Company, during the year, it may be "sufficient to state that the ordinary receipts, and payments have been augmented by those of another small assurance society, the business of which has been transferred to the Eagle in this interval. Thus, the total premiums received here have been £397,533, and the inte rest from investments £123,352; whilst, °tithe other hand, the claims on decease of lives assured have amounted to £307,046, and'the expenses of management to £16,920 — this last sum including £3,909, which will, for the most part, now cease. An exceptiori to this general augmentation is to be found in the case of the premiums on now assurances, tißich have amounted to £15,401 a less sum than they have reached in foregoing years. Adverting now to the results of the quinquennial inves tigation which has now been in progress for several months, and which has been conducted with all due care and cir cumspection, it appears, from the actuary's statement, that there were in force on the 30th June last the following policies, viz.: 16,882 participating, assuring, with additions, £9,306,962, and paying premiums amounting to £274,517 per annum. And 4,096 non-participating, assuring £3,709,743, and paying premiums amounting to £112,319 per annum. The total amount assured in these two classes—viz., £13,015,705 —together with some annuities, is found by the minute and laborious processes used in such investiga tions to involve an immediate liability of £6,224,830. The total annual premium receivable —viz., £386,836 — is shown, by the like processes, to be now worth £4,506,168, or nearly 12 years' purchase. The net liability arising under those large items, viz., £1,738,662, is included in the following statement, which has been verified by the auditors, and which comprises all the realised and unrealised assets of the Company, and also all claims against it, immediate or remote. £3,533 7 6 BOYS' at 66 and 67, OXFORD-ST.

Last year's produc tion amounted to upwards of £21,000,000, about £7,000,000 of which was the produce of the silver mines of the State of Nevada.

Meanwhile some idea may be formed of the amount of these reversionary additions by an examination of the subjoined table, which exhibits them in the instance of assurances twenty years old, effected on lives of various ages at com mencement of the risk.

The Directors consider that these results are satisfactory, and they trust that the Proprietors will be of the same opinion; looking at the progress which the Company has made during the last twenty years and the position which it has now attained they fool themselves justified in anti cipating that its future career will be a successful ono. They will only add, that they hope in a few weeks to be enabled to remove from their Temporary Offices to the now premises in Pall-mall, and thenceforth to have more suit able accommodation for the carrying on of the Company's business than it has been their good fortune of late years to enjoy. The direction of the Company is now constituted as follows : Col. CHAS. WETHERALL, K.C.T., Chairman. Right. Hon. Sir JOHN YOUNG, Bart., K.C.8., Deputy- Chairman. Joshua Lockwood, Esq.

SCHOOL OF NAVAL ARCHITECTURE, &C. Admiralty, 26th July, 1867. The LORDS COMMISSIONERS of the ADMIRALTY hereby give notice that the arrangements for the ADMIS SION of PERSONS, not already in the Government ser vice, to the Royal School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, as Admiralty Pupils, will, for the present year, be as follows : Candidates must not be less than 18 nor more than 21 years of ago, and must have served at least two years in private shipbuilding or engineering establishments, or must give satisfactory proof that they have in some way been so connected with shipbuilding or engineering opera tions as to become well-grounded in the elementary prin ciples and practices thereof. The pupils will be selected by competitive examination, the subjects for which, and numbers of marks assigned for each, are as follows : 3larks. Pure Mathematics, including—Arithmetic, mensu ration, geometry (plane and descriptive), piano trigonometry, and the elements of the differential and integral calculus 2,500 Applied Mathematics, including mechanics and hydrOstatics Practical Shipbuilding, including laying-off (for shipwright's candidates only) 2,500 Practical Marino Engineering (for engineer candi dates only) 2,500 French 5OO Elements of Physics and Chymistry 750 English Grammar and Composition Geography and History No candidate will bo admitted who does not obtain at least two-thirds of the full number of marks in the two first-named subjects, and three-fifths of the full number, either for practical shipbuilding or marine engineering. The last four subjects, although counting iu the com petition, will not be considered obligatory. Tho candidates who nwy bo selected will be treated, while attached to the school, in all respects as the Admi ralty pupils; they will receive wages the same as dock yard apprentices, commencing at Is. 6d. per day for six days per week for the first year, and increasing yearly 3d. per day till it reaches 2s. per day; and in addition a sub sistence allowance of 3s. per day for seven days p©r week while away from their homes, either at the school or intho Dockyards. Six months of each year, viz., from November till May, will be devoted to study at the School, and the remaining six months to active work and the acquirement of practical knowledge in the dockyards. It is to be understood that the Admiralty make no en gagement to employ these pupils after the completion of their course of study ; and they must rely on their own worth as educated naval architects for obtaining employ ment in their subsequent career. The number of such pupils to be selected this year is one shipwright and one engineer. Persons desirous of competing must forward their names, with a certificate of birth, and of the grounds on which they consider themselves practically qualified, enclosing proper certificates to that effect, to the Secretary of the Admiralty not later than the Ist of September.

By 0921mand of their Lordships, iiENRY Gi(2lo)9li Naval and Military Intelligence. A special circular, signed by the Earl of Longford, K.C.8., Under Secretary of State, has been received at Chatham garrison from the War-office, in which are promulgated an amended code of regulations respecting the quarters, allowances, and fixed estab lishment of married non-commissioned officers and men of the army serving at home and abroad, India excepted. In future the married establishment of the non-commissioned officers and men will not be permitted to exceed the following proportions—viz., three out of four or five, four out of six or seven, five out of eight or nine, and six out of ten or up wards of the sergeants of each troop, battery, or company, and 7 per cent. of trumpeters, drummers, and rank and file. No soldier will have his name placed on the marriage roll or be entitled to any of the advantages of the regulations until he has com pleted seven years' service, is in possession of at least one good-conduct badge, and has obtained the con sent of his commanding officer to his marriage before it takes: place. A separate room will, when the construction of the barracks permits, be allowed to each married soldier and his family, in addition to which, fuel, light, and provisions will be issued to the wife and family at the public expense. fiL l Y e du s t d. t -a e yGsyu r , d. up on facingogT t ni hh h meeE e e iene t id r ait ol o issnyn o t oi, p f.soui s ssorhri a nrno t h,i Jr furnished Yorke en d dll i obd e nr r eelk s r‘f h ,oleii o trnshe t e el theiad a atlorelcifneootm divisional noliolucac n.ukcdd,s. ]3t oho., contiguous f ef formed i c n o f l a u n m t nr blank ammunition per man. The lieutenant-general accompanied by his staff, arrived soon after the for mation was complete, and after making a minute inspection of the ranks he proceeded to the saluting base, in front of which the bands of the cavalry were massed. The division then marched past, the artillery and cavalry in open columns of batteries and squad rons at a walk, and the infantry in open column of grand divisions in quick time, and in the following order :—Staff of Cavalry, Major-Gen. E. C. Hodge, C.B. ; Col. Hammond, Royal Horse Artillery ; Capt. Watson and C Battery ; Capt. Timbrell and D Battery ; Col. Pattle, C. 8., and Ist (King's) Dragoon Guards ; Major Chapman and 4th (Royal Irish) Dragoon Guards; Col. FitalVygram and 15th (the King's) hussars ; Capt. Elton and 0. Battery, 9th Brigade, Royal Artillery ; Major Fitzhugh and 11. Battery ; pioneers, bands, drums, and pipes of Ist Infantry Brigade ; Staff and Major-Gen. 11. Ronny ; Major Deacon and 54th (West Norfolk) Regiment ; Major Rice and 72d Highlanders ; Col. Harrison and 80th Regiment ; Col. Lacy and 56th Regiment ; pioneers, bands, drums, and bugles of the 3d Brigade; Staff and Col. Greer, 68th Regi ment, Acting Brigadier ; Col. Synge and 4311 Light Infantry ; Col. Cooper and 70th (Surrey) Regi ment; pioneers, bands, and drums of the 2d Bei gade ; Staff and Major-Gen. G. Campbell, C.B. ; Major Geddes and 41th Regiment ; Col. Wyatt, C. 8., and 65th Regiment. The artillery and cavalry then repassed at a trot, and the infantry from the reverse flank by brigades in line of contiguous columns from the reverse flank. The troops then took ground to the right, and, after a short consul tation between the General and staff, dispositions were made to check the advance of an enemy sup posed to be marching from Farnham upon Guild ford, and occupying a strong position extending from Ctesar's-hill, on the right, to Beacon-hill, on the left. A series of brilliant manoeuvres followed, i n which each branch of the service displayed com mendable efficiency ; but on the heights the enemy was supposed to prove invulnerable, and ultimately the division was obliged to retire. The retreat was covered by the fire of the artillery and protected by cavalry. The troops returned to quarters about two o'clock. The weather was intensely hot, and the men manoeuvred without their knapsacks—a circum stance at one time rare and exceptional, but of fre quent occurrence at Aldershot since the privilege was humanely accorded by General Scarlett. The Ist battalion 18th (the Royal Irish) Regi ment, under the command of Col. Call, left Alder shot Camp yesterday morning. The head-quarters and four companies proceeded to Chester, two com panies to Liverpool,two companies to Bradford, and two companies toWeedon. All, except the companies detailed for Weedon, marched from barracks at 4 45 a.m. to the North Camp station (South-Eastern Railway), and proceeded on their way by special train at 6 o'clock. The companies for Wcedon marched at 7 o'clock, and left the same railway sta tion by the 8 27 a.m. train, via Reading, for their destination. The vacancies created by the recent commissions to the Royal Artillery and Engineers at the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich were on Wednes day filled up by the admission of 140 cadets to the classes. The pupils returned to the establishment from the half-year's vacation on Sunday, the 11th inst., and resumed the general business of the Aca demy on the following day. The A battery B brigade Royal Horse Artillery, under the command of Col. Mitchell, on Friday last took their departure from the Dorchester bar racks, where they have been quartered for the last 12 months. Their conduct dur in g the time t y remained there has been most exemplary, insomuch that a memorial, influentially signed, has b e en for warded to the Horse Guards, testifying the appre ciation by the inhabitants of their exce ll en t demea nour while in that town. They were succeeded on Friday by the A battery C brigade RoyalSladen, Horse Artillery, under the command o Major who arrived from Aldershot. Yesterday No. 2 battery, 3d brigade Royal Field Artillery, arrived at Gravesend frormd readiness for embarkation on boa uveyance to S Liverpool, L re i d n troopship Coldstream for co . ingapore.
