Produce Markets during the last few days has continued active, and prices generally have been well sustained. Tea has fully supported late prices. Sugars have continued in fair request, and good and fine qualities have slightly advanced. Coffee has been in good demand, and rather a large business has been done in rice at enhanced rates. In the tallow market there has been considerable animation, and prices for both present and forward delivery have tended. upwards. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 525. 6d. to 535.; and spring delivery, 548. per cwt. Continued activity prevailed in the Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, and prices tended up wards. The sales were estimated at 25,000 bales. Notice has been given that tenders will be re ceived for Ceylon Government 6 per cent. deben tures to the extent of £lOO,OOO, for the purpose of raising the balance required for paying off the shareholders of the Ceylon Railway company. About £lO,OOO in Russian gold was taken into the Bank of England yesterday. The bar silver by the last West India steamer has been disposed of at ss. Otl. per oz., being with out alteration. Further indications of easiness are now percep tible in the general money market, owing to the extensive supplies in the possession of banks and private firms, which induce them to negotiate secu rities on rather lower terms, and by these means the Bank of England with its minimum at 31 per cent, is virtually excluded from participation in the cur rent discount business. For instance good com mercial bills have been negotiated at 3 per cent., and in exceptional instances at a fraction lower, which, of course, is sufficient to attract the com mercial classes to whom 1 per cent. is of the utmost importance at the present moment, owing to the general depression of trade and the reduced profits they now derive from their transuctions. The market for Public Securities opened this morning with a firmer appearance, and although the transactions were limited purchases preponde rated, and a rise of 4- per cent. has been established, Consols being about 924 I for transfer and the 7th proximo, The New Threes and the Reduced were steady at 901 ; Exchequer Bills, March, have improved to ss. prem. ; ditto, June, to Bs. and 11s, ; Bank Stock has advanced to 233 ; India 5 per Cent. Loan to 1041 a and the New Loan Scrip to 1041. In the Foreign Market the dealings have been on a limited scale, and prices generally are rather flatter. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 80 1 ; ditto, 1858, 68 1 ; Mexican firm at 261; Portuguese have re ceded to 46i ; Spanish, to 49i ; Chilian 41 per Cents., to 844 ; and Italian 5 per Cents., to 681 Business in the Railway Share Market has been very inactive, and little change of importance has taken place in prices. Great Westerns and North British, however, have advanced 10s., but North Westerns have declined ss. Eastern Counties, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and South Easterns remained at previous prices. The Foreign and Colonial lines were in fair demand. Great Luxembourg:brought 98 ; Dutch Rhenish, 151 ; Bahia and San Francisco, 131; East Indian, 1011 102 ; and Great Indian Penin sula declined to 99. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares were flat. London and Westminster declined to 70 71, Union of London improved to 281, and Red Sea and India Telegraph to 19Z 1. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES.

James Brown, convicted at the last Sessions, on his own confession, of stealing a number of cattle from the Essex Marshes, was placed at the bar for judgment, it having been respited for the purpose of the surgeon of the jail watching prisoner, to ascertain tie state of his mind, it being sug gested that he was of weak intellect; the result, however, was to negative that supposition. Mr. Cooper, on the pert of the prosecution, said a very great number of cattle had been stolen from the marshes, but since the apprehens on of the prisoner no more cattle had been stolen. Mr. Sleigh, on the part of the prisoner, said the state ment ought not to have teen made unless the prisoner was proved in any way to be concerned in the robbery. It was most unaccountable that the prisoner, who was in good em ployment and bore a geed character, should have stolen the cattle if in his right mind. and it was shown that his mind was at times affected. Tho Recorder said he hid been informed by the surgeon who had watehed. the prisoner, that there was no ground for believing that to be tto case. Ho then sentenced the prisoner to three years' petal servitude. TILE EXTRAORDINARY CONFESSION OF BURGLARIES AT C:A.PIIA111. Jane Hillier, aged 19, was indicted for burglariously en• tering the house of Walter Miller, on Clapham Common, and stealing therefrom three coats and a quantity of plate, of the value of £6O. In the second count she was charged with receiving the property knowing it to be stolen. Mr. Platt prosecuted, and Mr. Warton defended the prisoner. The case, which is an extraordinary one, is contained in the evidence of John Shepkerd, a police-•sergeant in the employ of the South-Western Railway, who deposed that prisoner came up to him in Doyle-street, Lambeth, and said, " Shepherd, I want to speak to you. I have been to your house, but you were not at home. Do you know of any bur glaries at Clapham lately ? Witness said he knew of several The prisoner said, " I can tell you who did them. You know Barney, the man who I live with (witness knew she lived with a man named Barney). Well, he did them. In July we went to a gentleman's house at Clapham; Barney got in, but could not get further than the hall. He only brought away a lady's mantle. She wore it three or four days. She then altered the lining, and afterwards, at the re quest of Barney, pawned it at Mr. Barnett's, South. place, Lambeth-walk, for 65., Barney waiting outside. On another night they went to Clapham-common; Barney got into a gen tleman's house near the Furze, and I waited outside. Barney was gone about two hours and a half. When he came back he had with him three coats, and a quantity of plate, con sisting of forks and spoons. Barney broke up the plate and sold it for £lB. The coats she pledged at a pawn broker's in the Westminster-road. She stated as a reason for making the statement that Barney had beaten and illused her, and she wanted to send him away. On a sub sequent occasion the prisoner came to him and said all that sho had told him about Barney was untrue; she how ever was willing to admit that she had received the property and was willing to take it all upon herself. Witness in the meantime had ascertained the mantle and coats had been pawned, as stated by the prisoner, and also that the mantle had been stolen from the house of Miss Cusack at Clapham. He also ascertained that a burglary had been committed in the early part of July at the house of Captain Walter Miller, Broadlands, Clapham •common, when a quantity of plate and other property, to the amount of between £6O and £7O, had been stolen. Witness then took the prisoner into custody. Evidence was given of tho burglary at Captain Miller's, and the coat pledged by the prisoner was identified as being part of the property stolen. The burglary must have been committed by a small man who obtained an entry through the pantry window. The coat produced was the property of Captain Miller. Mr. Warton made an earnest appeal to the jury on behalf of the prisoner. The learned Recorder having summed up, The jury found the prisoner Guilty on the second count, cf rcecivin, , ,,- the property knowing it to be stolen. A former conviction on her own confession was proved against the prisoner, when she was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment. . _ The Recorder said it was quite evident the prisoner was associated with bad characters• It was necessary she should be separated from her companions for some time. She was still very young and might reclaim herself. He then sen tenced her to three years' penal servitude. THE BED SEA AND INDIA TELE- GRAPH. The Government have offered to convert the £BOO,OOO 4 per cent. 50 years guaranteed capital of the Red Sea and India Telegraph Company into an annuity, payable at the Bank of England ; and this proposition, which has been made in the follow ing form, will be recommended by the directors for acceptance at the meeting of the shareholders to be held on the sth of November : " Treasury Chambers, Oct. 15, 1861. " Gentlemen,--The Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury have had before them your letter of the 9th inst., and I am desired by their lordships to state to you in reply that they had given the best consideration to the proposition of Sir Macdonald Stephenson of which the shortness of the time since the receipt of your letter would allow, and are pre pared to agree to the following terms : " 1. To divest the existing company of all further responsibility in respect to the affairs of the Red Sea and India Telegraph, with a view to transfer ring the entire concern to the hands of a new com pany, on suitable terms and conditions, should any such company be formed with an amount of capital sufficient to justify a reasonable hope of the success of its object. " 2. To convert the present guarantee into a Go vernment annuity of like amount, payable at the Bank of England, as in the case of other Govern ment annuities. " It would follow from this conversion that all expenses of disbursements would be defrayed by the Government. " 3. To reserve power to the Government to re deem this annuity at any time hereafter, on payment of a capital sum in proportion to the unexpired period which the annuity may then have to run. " Your Board is of course aware that no final step can be taken in such a matter without the ap proval of Parliament ; but my Lords undertake, on the part of her Majesty's Government, in the event of such new company being established, to have a bill introduced into Parliament early in the ensuing session, for carrying into effect the foregoing teams. Their Lordships abstain, on the present occa sion, from entering into detains connected with the proceedings of the new company, leaving them for future discussion and arrangement. . " I am, &c., " G. A. HAMILTON. The Directors of the Red Sea and India " Telegraph Company." COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS IN NETV I ORK. Although it was expected that the present Ameri can mail would bring important news, the advices are almost entirely destitute of interest. The New York public have learnt to disregard the constant notifications of an approaching battle between the main armies, and attention was now chiefly concen trated on the movements of General Fremont in Missouri. Very little intelligence, however, is ob tained from any source, owing to the vigilant supervision of the Government over all the journals. Large purchases of grain and flour continued to be made on French account, and the pressure of bills thus created had increased the flatness of the rate of exchange, which was quoted 107 to 1071. Money was abundant at 6to 7 per cent. The following correspondence had taken place with regard to the income-tax and the foreign holders of American securities : "Now York, Sept. 27, 1861. " Sir,—We beg the favour of your informing us whether any United States income or other tax will be charged on coupons, or interest to become due, on American securities (Government or otherwise) owned by Europeans resident abroad. " We propound this query that we may be enabled to satisfy various foreign correspondents who now hold or may purchase United States bond., &c., and have written to us inquiring as to this point. Your answer, we believe, will be in the negative, judging from the law recently passed, and if so—it being authoritative—its publication would im mediately remove all fear of such taxation from the minds of European capitalists. "We have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient servants, " BARCLAY AND LIVINGSTON. ,-;," Hon. Salmon P. Chase, Secretary of the Treasury." "Treasury Department, Oct. 1, 1861. "Gentlemen,—ln reply to your inquiry of the 27th ult., I beg leave to say that the existing laws of the United States do not impose any tax upon securities of any kind held by foreigners residing abroad. " Very respectfully, 3 our obedient servant, " S. P. CHASE, Secretary to the Secretary. " Messrs, Barclay and Livingston, New York." ALLEGED ROBBERY BY A CLERGYMAN. The grand jury have returned true bills against Henry Holloway, the gentleman charged with stealing several articles from the Victoria Railway Station. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) COINING. William Glover was indicted for having in his possession a mould for the purpose of manufacturing counterfeit coin. From the evidence of Brennan, the police-officer attached to the Mint, it appeared that the prisoner resided at 12, St. Mary's-buildings, Lambeth, and from certain facts that had come to the knowledge of the officer, he, with several other officers, proceeded to the prisoner's lodgings for the purpose of apprehending him on a charge of coining. The officers having obtained admission to the room, all the re quisites for the purpose of manufacturing counterfeit coin were found. The jury found the prisoner guilty. In answer to questions from the judge, Brennan said the prisoner was an old offender. The. Court sentenced him to four years' p enal servitude. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(27IiB Day.) MABLBOROUGH-STREET. CHARGE or DOG STEALlNG}.—Auguste Lasselin, a Frenchman, was charged before Mr. Beaden with stealing a dog of the value of £6, the property of Elsie Mitchell, 16, Lisle street, modiste. Mr. Albert interpreted in the case. George Gagne, a Frenchman, of 5, Leicester-place, brass mounter, said he was in Windmill-street with the dog in his arms, when two men came up and seized him, and the prisoner took the dog away from him and gm e it to another man. Ho called " Police," and soon after the prisoner was seen near his own house in Warwick-street, and they Madame Elise Mitchell gave him into custody, Mrs. Bridget Norton, dressmaker, of Smith's-court, cor roborated the witness's evidence, speaking with a volubility seldom witnessed. A long conversation in French here ensued between the prisoner, the prosecutrix, and the magistrate, in the course of which it was elicited that there was a dispute as to the ownership of the dog, Madame Mitchell stating that she had paid for it. Mr. Beadon told the prisoner that if Madame Mitchell owed him for the dog he must go to the County Court, but not seize it. The prisoner was then discharged. " DOING" A MAG I STRATE._Thomas Maguire and Mary Ann Maguire were charged before Mr. Beadon, with being drunk and begging. The case being proved, Fryer, a Mendicity Society officer, said the woman was before Mr. Mansfield the previous day, at Marylebone, and on her stating that she was going to Brighton," Mr. Mansfield gave her a shilling to help her on her road. She then gave the name of Smith. Instead of starting for Brighton, however, tho money had been spout in drink, Mr, Beadon committed them for a month each. THAMES. THE WHEELBARROW THEFT. —A strange looking man, with a huge nose, who gave the name of William Nathan, but who has as many aliases as the Spanish Infanta, lately christened, has names, was brought before Mr. Woolrych ckarged with stealing a great number of wheel barrows. It appeared it had been the practice of the prisoner to hire wheelbarrows of poor costermongers, and then sell them below their real value, and keep the money. Inspec tor Allison, of the K division, had received numerous complaints of the prisoner's misdoings from poor and in dustrious men, who earned a precarious living in the streets, and whose barrows were their travelling shops. John Clark, a labourer, of Angel-gardens, Shadwell, said —Your worship, I am a costermonger and works hard for my living. I had a wheelbarrow nine months ago, and my joker there hired it for two or three hours. Well, I never saw my barrow or him either until yesterday even ing, and I says, "My joker, whore is my barrow." He looks up at me and says, " I don't know you." I know you, " my joker, says I," and I gave him into custody. Mr. Woolrych was surprised the witness should call the prisoner my joker, as it was anything but a joke to steal his barrow, and asked him by what name he knew the pri soner. Clark—We always called him him my joker. Barney—That's the name I know' d him by, and no other. Thomas Epworth said the prisoner came to him on New Year's-day and said he was hard-up, and asked him 15s. for a barrow. He gave him the price asked. A few weeks afterwards Clark saw the wheelbarrow, and claimed it. Clark—The barrow is worth 30s. Thomas Wilson, a costermonger, of No. 10f, Friar street, Suffolk-street, Stone's-end, Southwark, said—Please you, my lord, I had a barrow last April. It was made fast with a lock and a chain close to my house. Well, your lordship, I came home one morning from an evening party, and it was gone, my lord. I saw that same barrow, my lord, 14 days after, in Smithfield. Mr. Woolrych—By what marks do you recognise it ? Wilson—Please you, my lord, it was a remarkable bar row ; the side of it was split, and it had a broken leg. a C p o e r r i o n a s d , a s licensed o h u a g w h k t e a r , b o a r f r N O w o . 0 5 f , t V h e i n p e r c s o o u n r e t r , (Loud laughter.) Wh Ja i m tec e h s for 155., and it was claimed by Wilson as his property. The prisoner gave the name of Ben Saunders. He knew him formerly as an honest man. A man at - the back of the court here called out, "the pri soner hired my barrow, which cost me £2, and the man who bought it of him won't give it up." Mr. Woolrych—He will be made to do so. Police .constable, No. 309 K, said there were a host of persons in attendance who had been defrauded of their bar rows by the prisoner. Mr, WoolryolA remanded to Prisoner for a week, ,~. ....~_ FINIS POLONI4E. The famous mot, Finis Polonice, attributed to Kosciusko, after the battle of Maceiovice, and which in all probability prompted Campbell's celebrated line— " freedom shrieked when Koscinsko fell," is now, after the lapse of more than half a century, proved to have never been uttered. M. Chodzko, a Pole, residing in Paris, has communicated to the Pays the following interesting letter, written by Kosciusko himself to the historian De Segur Paris, 30, Brumaire, an xii. (Oct. 31, 1803.) Monsieur le Comte,—Besides the paper which I gave you yesterday relative to M. Adam Poninski and his conduct in the campaign of 1794, there is another matter connected with the unfortunate battle of Maceiovice, which I am anxious to clear up. Ignorance or bad faith insists upon putting into my mouth the word " Finis Polonite," which I am said to have pronounced on that fatal day. In the first place, I was almost mortally wounded in that battle, and only recovered my senses two days afterwards, when I found myself in the hands of my enemies. Moreover, if such a word as that would be illogical and criminal in the mouth of any Pole, it would be doubly so in mine. The Polish nation, in calling upon me to defend the integrity, indepen dence, dignity, glory, and liberty of our country, well knew that I was not the last of the Poles, and that although I might die on the battlefield, or otherwise, Poland would not therefore come to an end. What the Poles have done since with those glorious Polish legions, and what they will in future do to recover their country, sufficiently proves that although we, her devoted soldiers, are mortal, Poland is immortal, and that nobody is justified in repeating the base epithet, .Finis Polonice. What would the French say if, after the disastrous battle of Rosbacb. in 1737, Marshal Charles de Rohan, Prince of Soubise, had exclaimed, Finis Gallice, or if such cruel words had been impugned tohim by his bio graphers ? I shall therefore be obliged to you if you will not repeat the .Finis Polonice in the next edition of your work, and I trust the authority of your name may prevent any one from attributing to me in future a blasphemy against which my whole suul protests. T. KOSCIUSKO. NEGRO EMANCIPATION IN THE UNITED STATES. —Tho following memorial is now circulating in the free States of the American Union :—" Memorial of the People to Congress. ' Proclaim liberty throughout all the land; to all the inhabitants thereof.' To the Congress of the United States.—The undersigned, citizens of —, State of —, respectfully submit,—That, as the present for midable rebellion against the general Government mani festly finds its root and nourishment in the system of chat tel slavery at the South ; as the leading conspirators are slaveholders, who constitute an oligarohy avowedly hostile to all free institutions ; and, as, in the nature of things, no solid peace can be maintained while the cause of this trea sonable revolt is permitted to exist, your honourable body is urgently implored to lose no time in enacting, under the war power, the total abolition of slavery throughout the country, liberating unconditionally the slaves of all who are rebels, and, while not recognising the right of property in man, allowing for the emancipated slaves of such as are loyal to the Government a fair pecuniary award, as a con ciliatory measure, and to facilitate an amicable adjustment of difficulties, and thus to bring the war to a speedy and beneficent termination, and indissolubly to unite all sec tions and all interests of the country upon the enduring basis of universal freedom." GLASGOW, Oct. 19.—Cotton.—We have again had an active market this week at advancing rates. The quantity on sale is very limited. Yarns and Goods—The speculative movement in cotton has extended to yarn and cloth, and a large business ha been done during the week at an advance of fully ld. on yarns u p to 100, while goods such as 12 jaconote and the like are up 3d. Goods and yarns are still, notwithstanding the advance , suc h a losin g trade to the manufacturer that we hear daily of more short time; and, as cotton is daily creeping higher and higher, unless some unexpected relief should come, the prospects of our manufacturers for the coming winter are gloomy in deed. Iron—The pig-market has shown rather more firm ness this week, and prices have fluctuated about 9d. per ton. Yesterday the tone was flat at Ds. Gd. cash, but to day there has been less pressure, and after business at 495. 71d.; holders stood out for 495. 9d. prompt, at which the market closed steady.

WARRIOR—EXRERIM.ENTs AT SHOEB URYNESS. Some very im7,crtant experiments in connection with armour-coated vessels were made yesterday at Shoe uryness, on the Essex coast, by the direc tion of the Government. For several weeks past there has been in course of construction, in the practising ground of that garrison, a large target, representing a perfect section of the Warrior's side, in build, thickness, and strength, with the view of testing its resisting power to 68-pounders and the largest Armstrong guns. This target having re cently been completed at an expense of about £2,000, the Duke of Somerset, the First Lord of the Admiralty, fixed yesterday for an official visit to witness its behaviour before an onslaught of the new artillery. The noble duke, accompanied by his private secretary, Capt. Mcore ; Admiral the Hon. Sir F. W. Grey, and Rear-Admiral C. Eden, and Captain the Hon. J. Drummond, Lords of the Admiralty, Rear-Admiral Robinson, and the mem bers of the Government special committee on iron, headed by Sir J. Hay, the chairman, started from the Fenchurch-street railway station at an early hour in the morning for Southend. The same train contained a large party of gentlemen interested in the experiments, including Mr. Rolt and Cap• tain Ford of the Thames Iron Works Oompany, who built the Warrior; 111 r. Fairbairn, of Man, chester, whose target upon a different principle has recently been tried at Shoeburyness ; Sir William Armstrong, the inventor of the guns. which bear his name ; Mr. Scott Russell, and several military and naval officers of eminence. At Southend there was a great muster of vehicles of various descriptions to convey the company to their destination, a pleasant ride of about six miles. It was a fine autumn day, with a rather keen breeze from the sea, but in every respect favourable for the operations. Having passed through the garri son, in which a series of blocks of handsome new buildings for the artillery have far advanced to wards completion, the visitors alighted at the entrance of the practising-ground, where strict pre- cautions were taken, but very courteously, to pre vent the admission of any one not properly autho rised by the Admiralty. The " Warrior target" is 201 t. long, by 10ft. wide, having in the centre a port-hole 3ft. 3in. by 2ft. in dimensions. It stands close to the shore, and of course faces the battery which is inland, at a distance of 200 yards. As already stated, the target presents an exact copy of the side of the magnificent ship which is now proudly riding on the sea at Portsmouth; but in order that the effect of the day's experiments may be properly under stood, it may be as well to give the details of construction. Upon the exterior there are only four armour plates, each being 41in. thick, and composed of the best scrap iron, ham mered by the Nasmyth hammer. The top and the lower ones run the entire length of the target 20ft.—the former being 3ft. sin. wide, and the latter 3ft. 13in. The two middle plates, which are shorter in length by the extent of the port-hole, show a width of 3ft. 7in. Behind these plates comes a " backing" of teak 18in. thick, and then the iron "skin" five-eighths of an inch, making altogether a thickness of 23 in. The whole of this solid mass is completely pierced by bolts, screwed on to substantial iron ribs or frames in the interior. The target rests against an immense mass of brick and stone, which probably no amount of shot could shake from its base. Prior to the first firing, the Duke of Somerset and the officials and spectators present narrowly in spected the target, and then retired, some into huts and caverns in the immediate vicinity, and the rest 300 yards or more off, in order to avoid the splinters which on these occasions are somewhat alarming. It has naturally been remarked that these experi ments ought to have preceded the building of the Warrior, and that to make them after she is afloat and ready for sea is about as useless as closing the stable-door when the steed has gone. In justice, however, to the Admiralty, it must be said that experiments were made to guide them in preparing plans for the Warrior; but at that time the merits and extraordinary power of the Armstrong guns were not fully understood or recognised. Now, however, other vessels on the same principle, which will entail an enormous cost upon the country, are upon the stocks, and it becomes a matter of the greatest importance to ascertain whether that prin ciple of construction is the best that can be adopted. Hence the decision of the Admiralty to resort to a test on an extensive and satisfactory scale. As might be anticipated, different theories have been advanced by shipbuilders, engineers, and men of science as to the most effectual mode of building an iron-clad ship to resist shot. The chief points of controversy relates to the "backing" of the iron plates, and the fastening of them to the ship's side. With regard to the " backing," acme contend that it ought to consist of a solid elastic substance like teak, as in the Warrior, which would deaden the blow, and thus diminish its effect better than a harder substance ; while others assert that a layer of wrought iron, to the entire exclusion of wood or any other equally yielding material, would offer a greater amount of resistance. As to the question of fastening, some object to the plates being perforated, and to the bolts coming right through to the outer surface, as in the Warrior, on the ground that this increases the liability of the plates to crack under the in fluence of shot, and to bend or bulge. How far a solution of these and other moot points has been obtained by yesterday's experiments will be best ascertained by a narrative of the firing and its effect. The battery consisted of six pieces—three 100-pounder Armstrong guns, two 68-pounders, and one of Armstrong's 120-pounder " shunt guns.' First of all, the three 100-pounders and the two 68 pounders were separately fired with shells filled with sand, the spot aimed at being a large white mark on the left side of the target. The first shot was so nicely accurate as to entirely obliterate the mark, but apparently without doing much injury. The other two 100-pounders went very near the same place ; the two 68-pounders seemed to do more execution, the parts struck remaining fot a few seconds red-hot, and emitting much yellow smoke. A splinter from one of the latter went whistling in an erratic manner along the coast, and warned those exposed on the field to retreat further back. Upon the bugle signal that firing had ceased, every one rushed anxiously to the target. It was found on inspection that the Armstrongs had made only slight indentations on the plates; one of them, however, exhibiting a minute crack. The two 68's had made round holes —one, lin. and 6-10ths, and the other lin. and 5-16ths deep—both being be tween 3 and 10in. broad. This singular disparity between the effect of the guns is accounted for by the fact that at short distances the 68's go with much greater velocity than the Armstrong's, the ' full power of which is only seen at ranges of 700 or 900 yards. The only other damage done was, that in one of these two holes a bolt had been s m c e a r w e o e r l k y i s n li s g id h e tly was star to te t d aily shaken. The next round promised a little more de- Thuentwouhcohleedt,eaokr raantdhefrra struction. Live shells, with percussion fuses, Were discharged one after another from the same five guns. These, at a distance, seemed to have d one little more than blacked the plates ; but upon ex amination it was discovered that the eye had been deceived—one of the 68-pounders had indented considerably the lower side of the upper plate. The hole varied in depth from 1 1 , to 3 4-Bth in., the side of the hole being turned up like a lip, but the same place had been hit before. The other 68 had made a similar but less jagged hole, about llin• deep. From the three Armstrongs the plates had again sustained very little injury, the shot having only just stamped the surface with their well-known seal. The effect of some of these five blows was to produce cracks in the old wounds, but the framework was still untouched. The other, or right side of the target, was now operated upon with solid cast-iron shot from three 100-pounder Armstrongs, one 120-pounder Armstrong, and two 68-poanders. The first shot missed, and struck the stonework, sending it spluttering about in all directions, and unsettling a heavy mass of brickwork. This, how ever, was the only shot thrown away, and with this to the exception the firing was wonderfu ll y accura t e • white mark being frequently obliterated at the first aim. The 120-pounder (the " shunt" gun) gave a fearful blow to the upper corner of the top plate. the indentation being more than 3in. deep, and the plate being bent and slightly turned outwards at the end from the teak. The other guns made holes varying from lin. to 2 7-10 in. deep, some of them exhibiting cracks. Notwithstanding all this pound ing the wood had not been penetrated, and the inside of the target was as perfect and firm as ever, . and the superior and tough quality of the iron of which the plates were composed was a subject of general comment. More threatening weapons were projected n from themadeuseof —2oolb. solid cast-iron shots three 100 pounders with a 101 b. charge. These were directed against the left side of the target, and struck nearly close together, but did no more than leave a sign of their visits, and actually, though from Armstrong's, had less effect upon the iron than shells filled with sand from the , 68-pounders. Then the still almost invulnerable representative of the Warrior was exposed to a salvo of cast-iron shot of 2001 b. weight from the three 100-pounders with a 101 b. charge. This • noisy and instantaneous attack made little impres sion, but the side of one of the plates was turned up and a bolt started. At the suggestion of the Duke of Somerset a shot was fired at the port-hole to try the effect on the new iron bearings introduced at the sides of it by the Thames Iron Company, but it hit some distance - from the side, and no satisfactory result was ob tained. Next came a salvo from the whole battery of six guns with solid cast-iron shot, and a service- • charge of 161 b. This was the great trial of the day, and the effect was more serious. Two or three of the shots hit the same place, and made a hole or rather gap six inches deep and 15 inches long, with two or three large cracks round it, the iron being forced into the teak, which became distinctly visible, and small splinters of which could be taken out by the fingers. The other holes were also greater than any made before, and showed some ugly cracks, but not so deep as this, nor had the wood, as far as could be seen, been penetrated. In one of them, however, the ball had gone right into the plate, ar.d bodily remained there, although in a very altered shape. The end of one of the plates was also turned out wards from the teak about 1 inch. Again, how ever, the starting of two or three bolts, which had come out 3 or 4 inches, and had the nuts hanging loosely to their ends, was the only indication of any damage being done to the inside; and suppos ing the target had been the side of a ship, she was not materially injured. Still there remains the faet that the plates were pierced in the wood; but it must be remembered that the whole six guns converged to one point with the greatest nicety with which skilled artillerymen could point them, and were fired• at the same instant, and that the target had already been a good deal knocked about. Whether any broadside to which the Warrior in the event of war is likely to be exposed would be concentrated in the same or in a more fatal manner upon her sides, it is for naval men to determine, but most of those present seemed to consider that the result was satisfactory; This concluded the experiments on the warrior targets, but some others were subsequently performed on minor targets. It was nearly dusk before the day's proceed ings came to a close, and the "Warrior target" having been covered up, was left to await further inspection. ANNIVERSARY OF THE BATTLE OF TRAFALGAR.
