During the last few days the operations in most of the principal articles of foreign and colonial pro duce have been moderately active. Tea has con tinued in good demand at full rates. For sugar the inquiries have been to an average extent, and the better descriptions of West India have commanded high prices. Coffee has maintained its value, although the chief dealings have been principally in the better qualities of plantation Ceylon. Rice, fruit, and spices have shown no material alteration. The demand for indigo has continued active, and a further advance has been established. In saltpetre and tallow, however, the dealings have been limited. P.Y.C. on the spot is now quoted 515.; all the year, 525. 6d. ; and spring delivery, 535. per cwt.

(Before the Master of the Rolls.) JUDGMENT-LORD HASTINGS V. ASHLEY. His Honour the Master of the Rolls, in delivering judg ment, said the question on which I reserved my opinion or rather that I desired to read the deeds more carefully, because I expressed my opinion formerly—was whether un der the will of Lord Hastings, which I will read, it effected an incumbrance on certain property included in a mortgage deed of August, 1853. By the will of Lord Hastings, on 17th June, 1841, h e gave cer t a i n terms of 1,000 years in certain property in the county of Northumberland, whereby he devised that estate for 1,000 years for certain uses, the rents and profits of which, in the first place, was to pay any interest that might be due in respect of any mortgage for the time being affecting any part of his real estates, settled and unsettled, in the counties of Northumberland and Nottingham, and ultimately to pay off the said mort gage. Subsequently to that period he mortgaged property which was in reality leasehold, on the sth of August, 1853, for the sum of £lO,OOO, with a reserved power of sale. And that the ultimate surplus or proceeds of such sale should be paid either to the plaintiff or to himself, er their heirs, administrators, executors, or assigns, or the representatives of their interest therein. And he directed that on the sale of the property Lord Hastings should take the surplus. Now the contention is that this does not come within the words "settled" or "unsettled property," because when the will was executed he said that any interest that was due after his death should go to his successor. Now the proceeds of the property sold would go to the present plaintiff, and therefore it would not form one of the unsettled estates. It is unnecessary for me to reply to every part'cular that he has mentioned. He claims a life estate, and that the interest should be given to him down to tho time of his father's death. I concur in the observations made by Mr. Selwyn, Q.C., in reference to the wills ; and I also concur in the decision in the case cf Jackson v. Ayres, in the House of Lords,—that where property is mortgaged, the mortgage does not affect the limitations of the property, except there is a full rental of it in the pi operty deeds. My impression is, that I must take this property as part of the settled property, and that my Lord Hastings takes it first, and that the acts of the mort gagor does not affect this property nor the other demised property. Costs must be considered as coming out of the estate. Costs are given as between party and party. COURT OF PROBATE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) THE WILL OP MART DALLAS. Dr. Spinks applied for probate of this will. The testatrix had her will drawn up in the regular form, and 12 months after it was executed she asked for it to be given to her. The document was accordingly handed over to her, and it re mained in her possession up to the time of her death. After that event the will was discovered torn, in a drawer amongst some other papers, the names of the attesting witnesses all being torn from the document. The petitioner could assign no reason for any alteration of the will ; he (Dr. Spinks) accordingly applied for probate on the ground that it could not be shown that she did not ad here, at the time of her death, to the provisions in btr last will and testament. The Judge-Ordinary asked if all parties had been cited ? Dr. Spinks said they had not, as they were distributed about in very remote places. The Judge-Ordinary said the safest course to pursue was to apprize all parties of the proceedings. THE WILL OF NATL. BROOKS. Dr. Wamby applied for probate of this will. The Judge• Ordinary said he had looked over the affi davits, but he did not think they were full enough. The drawer of the will, for instance, said he, by direction of the testator, wrote the name of one of the executors, " John," when he knew it was not so. He should like the affidavit to explain• how he became aware of that circumstance ; his affidavit merely stated that he was conscious of the mistake when the will was made. Dr. Wamby said he wanted to have the affidavits made more explicit. The Judge Ordinary said on that being done ho would give his decision in the case. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Sergeant Wheeler.) TRADE PROTECTION SOCIETIES AND THE PTJBLIC-IMPOR- TANT DECISION-INGRAM V. STUBBS. This was an action upon a bill of exchange—Mr. Buchanan appearing for the plaintiff, and Mr. Pearce for the defendant, who is the proprietor of Stubbs' Trade Pro tection Society. The point involved is of considerable im • portytnce, as may best be gleaned from his Honour's judg ment delivered this day. His Honour—This is an action to recover the amount of a bill of exchange intrusted for recovery to one of the legal agents of Stubbs' frade Protection Society in Ireland. Now, it appears that this protection society is formed for the recovery of debts, and for protecting the public against swindlers, and it embraces in its list of subscribers some of the leading :merchants and bankers in this city and else where. Stubbs issues cards and lists, upon which are certain rules, and be also appoints upon his own responsibility agents in England and Ireland. These agents are attorneys, and can be displaced or appointed by Stubbs also. The rule of the society is that a debt is to be collected by one of these legal agents, the card alluded to is forwarded, and that is considered as a proof that a person is entitled to the services of the agent. In this case the plaintiff had a bill accepted by a person residing in Roscommon, in Ireland. He for warded that bill to the legal agent (as upon defendant's published list), Mr. Sweeny, an attorney, and not having any answer by a certain time, wrote again. In reply, Mr. Sweeny said that Mr. Hopkins (the debtor) had informed him that he had paid the money, whereupon Mr. Sweeny handed over the bill. Now this was most peculiar and ex traordinary conduct for an attorney, but he was agent of Stubbs' Trade Protection Society, and plaintiff sought his redress against that institution. Now defendant argued that he had no sight to be paid, because the society did not undertake to collect bills not arrived at maturity, and further that Stubbs was not responsible for the acts of the agents, or, as they are called in the list, legal agents. But the subscribers (who, by the way, pay some £36,000 a-year) have no control over these agents, nor do they pay them anything,—in addition to which the agents are displaced by Stubbs, and Mr. Sweeny, it was said in the course of the evidence, bad been removed from the agency. Looking at the case, then, in all its bear ings, I must hold that Stubbs is liable, and I must find for the plaintiff. Mr. Buchanan—With costs ? His Honour—Oh! certainly. This is acae of very great importance, and I have taken great pains to arrive at a correct conclusion. I have satisfied my own mind, but if I am wrong I hope there are some means by which I may be put right. Verdict for plaintiff, with costs. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. HAY MARKETS.

Mr. Thomas W. Dobson, of 32, Piccadilly, silversmith and jeweller, said— On Saturday afternoon prisoner and another came in to make a purchase of some pins and rings to put a portrait in. On turning to the window for the purpose of getting come out, a young man came in, and asked me a question and left. While doing so the man with the pri soner took up - a gold chain and put it down again, and then left vvith his companion. He (Mr. Dobson) followed the two men with the view of cautioning any of his neighbours if they paid them a vial. He saw them go into Bingley's, tailor, in It cgent• street, prisoner going iu. They then came out, and walked up to a shop next door to Beattie's, and afterwards one went into Beattie's shop ; but he was net sure which one, and the others afterwards went in. On seeing prisoner come out, he felt certain all was not right, and saw theTrisOner in a peculiar manner put his hand in his pocket. Prisoner then 80 to running, and he followed him down Argyle-place, when prisoner turned round and asked why he was following him, and said he would " smash hls brains out ;" and afterwards said he would " blow his brains out." He, however, told prisoner that all his bullying would not deter him ; and while talking to him the pistol dropped from his pocket clearly by acci dent. He (Mr. Dobson) then shouted " Police," and ran past the officer, and Mr. Albert, the interpreter, assisted in the pursuit, till he was caught by the officer with the pistol in his pocket, having picked it up after dropping. Thomas Shillingford, 141 C, a very active officer, proved seeing prisoner running in Great Marlborough-street, being pursued with a cry of " Stop thief." He took him into custody, and on the way to the station he seized his hand while in his pocket, and took fl om it the revolver. Pri soner merely said ho got it from a shop. He (Shillingford) wished for a remand. The prisoner, who there is reason to believe, with his companions, have paid several visits to tradesmen at the_ West-end, was committed for trial. A WORTHY _EXAMPLE. Some time since Mr. W. Bateman Byng, cashier of Messrs. Ransomes and Sims, of Ipswich, set a project on foot for raising funds in that town to purchase a lifeboat, to be presented to the National Lifeboat Institution, to be called " The Ipswich." Accordingly, on Sunday last, simul taneous collections were made in the various churches and chapels of Ipswich, and in furtherance of the same benevolent object a public meeting was held yesterday at the Town Hall, Ipswich. The mayor, E. Grimwade, Esq., presided ; and amongst the company were Sir G. N. Broke Middleton, Bart., Sir C. H. Rowley, Bart., and many others of the county and local gentry. Sir E. Perrott, Mon- tague Gore, Esq., and the secretary, attended as a deputation from the society, and severally addressed the meeting, pointing out the value of the lifeboats, the many lives which had been saved by their in tervention, the necessity there was for the associa tion being supported, and expressing the hope that the noble example set by Ipswich might be followed by other cities and towns of the country, Mr. Gore remarking that lifeboats were indispensable, for however much harbours of refuge might be in creased (themselves tending to mitigate the dangers of a seafaring life), yet the very establishment of harbours of refuge made the necessity of lifeboats apparent in their vicinity, because vessels would in bad weather make for those harbours. He alluded to Holyhead, where since its harbour of refuge had been formed the lifeboat stationed there haqperformed eminent services. The secretary of the :institution showed that the cost of a lifeboat station was from £4OO to £5OO, and that the annual expense of keeping it in a state of efficiency averaged £4O, independently of rewards to the crew of the lifeboat. Sir G. Broke Middleton, Sir C. Rowley, Hon. and Rev. F. De Grey, Mr. J. P. Cobbold, Mr. S. A. Notcutt, Rev. W. W. Woodhouse, Rev. E. Jones, Mr. W. Rodwell, Mr. S. H. Cowell, Rev. C. W. Gaye, and Mr. E. Goddard afterwards addressed the meeting. The following resolution was passed : —" That this meeting recognising the philanthropic character of the operations of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, whose lifeboats have within the last 22 months been the means of rescuing 457 of our fellow creatures from a watery grave, resolves to purchase a lifeboat and present the cost of the same to this benevolent institution as a practical demonstration of the sincere and deep sympathy of the town of Ipswich and the county of Suffolk in its meritorious exertions." Resolutions were also passed conveying thanks to the several ministers of the town ; to the lord-lieutenant and nobility and gentry of the county for their countenance and assistance ; and to Sir E. Perrott, M. Gore, Esq., and the secretary for their attendance. The unani mous thanks of the meeting were accoi ded to the Mayor, who proposed a very hearty vote of thanks to Mr. W. B. Byng for his great exertions in the cause of humanity. The collections at the various places of worship amounted to £176 25., whilst the contributions from the gentry of the neighbourhood and the amount subscribed in the town raised the total amount to about £4OO. Rush's SON.—On Saturday, at the Shire Hall, Norwich, James Blomfield Rush, eldest son of the notori ous murderer of that name, was brought up on a charge of breaking into the house of John Curson, a bricklayer at Rethersett, and stealing a watch and some electro-plated spoOns. After some evidence had been taken the prisoner was remanded for a week. It may be remembered that in the spring ho was tried at the Norfolk assizes on a charge 4 of burglary, but acquitted.

The race between Edward Mills, of Hackney, the holder of the Six-miles' Challenge Champion Belt, and John Brighton, of Norwich (the challenger), the latter being also the four-miles' champion, came off yesterday in the grounds of Hackney-wick. Brigh ton is celebrated for his speed, and at four miles has not yet had a competitor to wrest the palm from him. The race yesterday, up to a certain distance, would scarcely be believed by those unaccustomed to pedestrian matches ; the first two miles were run at the rate of close upon 13 miles per hour. For the six miles the competitors had to make 41 circuits of the course. An official referee and timekeeper having been ap pointed, the signal to start, by word of mouth, was given, when Mills dashed to the front at a great rate, Brighton at his right shoulder. The latter passed his opponent before the second round, when Mills again shot ahead, and made the pace, fast as it was, " still faster." Brighton, not to be denied, once more went in front, and finished the mile in 4 min. 44 sec., amidst loud cheers. On com mencing the second mile Mills again went in front, and increased the astonishing speed they were still going at, as if it were a race of only COO yards in stead of six miles, and so they continued for another half mile, when Brighton once more obtained the lead, but could not hold it long, for Mills, amidst increasing cheers, almost flew past him, led by four yards at the eleventh round, increased it to 12 yards in the twelfth, and finished the two m ilesin 9 min. 52 sec., 30 yards in front. By many it was thought the race was over; but Brighton, who evidently outpaced, was not to be shaken off without a severe s truggle, gradually reduced the g a p in each succeed ing round up to the 18th, when he again ran close up to Mills, and, at the end of three miles, accom plished in about 15 minutes, they were again shoul der to shoulder. Brighton then took the lead for two more rounds, and struggled manfully to main tain his advantage , but all in vain ; for Mills aga i n rushed away as if only going for a sprint race. In the 23d circuit Brighton tried hard to live the pace, when nature gave way, and he was compelled to succumb much exhausted at the 26th round through a swelling imininhisihs eledftspsiedeedufinndiseirlitnh; the fourthheart—Mills at ain 20 minut es 45 seconds, and running the remainder of the distance at his leisure. The style and speed Mills displayed on this occa sion will make him a formidable opponent to the Seneca Indian, against whom he is again matched for a race of eight miles for £2OO. MADAME JENNY LlND.—Madame Goldschmidt- Lind was so well pleased with her reception in Liverpool lately, that she has promised again to visit the town, and sing at a private concert to be given exclusively to members of the Philharmonic Society. 1 ""It is stated that King Francis of Naples has re solved to change his residence from Rome to Venice ; and it is certain that the Duke of Bordeaux has offered him the Cavalli Palace on the Grand Canal. In any case the Queen will come to Venice to visit her sister the E m press Elia beth,' The hope increases that there will be little occa sion for national alarm in connection with the cot ton question. Of course, there must be painful in. dividual•privations, but, strange, as it may seem, it would not be difficult to prove that up to this moment the country at large has been, both directly and indirectly, greatly benefited in a pecu niary and commercial sense by the consequences of ' the American struggle. But for that event a most severe crisis must at about this period have fallen upon the trade of Lancashire. Eighteen months back an attempt was made to warn the public that the shipments of cotton manufactures to the East and elsewhere, and the extension of mill-power in Manchester ' were taking place upon a perilous scale, which threatened to be followed by a ruinous revulsion. Our anneal exportation of Manchester manufactures amount to X 62,000,000, and the loss to which we were liable when the shipments of a year or two proved to be made to glutted markets may easily be conceived. That the evil on the present occasion would have been beyond all ordi nary experience is demonstrated by the fact that, although the tidings of the American war have now for months past penetrated to all parts of the world, and our shippers during the same period have had every inducement to restrict their opera tions, there has scarcely yet, in the leading mar kets, been sufficient recovery to yield any satisfac tory profit even on the articles shipped when the staple was only at half its present value. Of course, there is confidence now that each future mail will bring higher prices from all quarters, and that the end will consequently be that our overtrading will be found to have been brought large gains in the place of losses that appeared at one time inevitable. A condition has thus been averted which would, perhaps, have caused a suspension of a large majo rity of the weaker and most speculative firms. Perhaps it is not too much to estimate the saving from the turn in this respect at eight or ten mil lions sterling. Again, our stock of cotton on the Ist of January was 545,670 bales, and the gain from the realisation of this, at gradually advancing rates, may bo estimated at two or three millions additional. An immense advantage must also be indirectly reckoned from the impulse given to the prospects of India, the productiveness of her revenue, and the stability of her securities ; while there is also to be taken into account the improvement in the value of our stocks of other textile materials, such as wool, jute, &c., which has been consequent upon the diminution in the supplies of the cheap rival article. At the same time, it is to be observed that England will relatively be far less injured by the rise of price in the staple than America or other countries, since this rise is most heavily felt on the coarser fabrics, such as the American mills, even under a high protective tariff, can alone create ; while, as has been well pointed out, the difference which it occasions on those articles that employ the greatest degree of operative skill is slight. Finally, it is certain that up to the present moment we have not, to the extent of a single piece of goods, had the slightest difficulty in meeting every legitimate de mand of our foreign customers, and that the world will not sustain even any great temporary incon venience before the productions of other regions will enable us to replenish their stocks. On the whole, therefore, we may as a people look upon the winter on which we have now entered not merely without dismay, but with a consciousness that one bad crisis has preserved us from another which would have been worse. Although it is out of the question that any individual nation can in the long is s un so goaridnerbeyd the misfortunes sooner orl o a f te a r n , y th o o th m e a r io n ation,it propor tion of the evils brought up on the world f alls upon those who are primarily responsible for them.

Once, while acting " Hamlet," Mr. Brooke made a very long stop after the words, " To be, or not to be, ' upon which an impatient occupant of the gallery vociferated to the tragedian, 4 ' Toss up for it, Brooke!" 'Business done 101 100} i POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. PLUCKING PLANTS IA HYDE-PARK.---John Taylor, 41, was charged before Mr. Beadon as follows : It appears that about half-past seven this morning the prisoner was seen by John Browning, park constable 21, with a quantity of chrysanthemums in his possession. At first the prisoner tried to conceal them, and finding that of no use he threw them down. He took the prisoner back to the plantation, and there found appearances of plants having been removed. The prisoner gave two or three different accounts of the way in which he got the plants. Prisoner said he went into the plantation after his dog, but he picked the plants up, finding them lying there. He was not aware that he was prohibited going into the plan tation. Mr. Beadon said he did not believe the prisoner's story, and fined him 10s. or seven days for illegal possession. ASSAULT ON A LICENSED VICTUALLER.—John Holmes, a boot-cicser, was charged with assaulting Mr. P. Robin son, of 69, Wardour-strest, Soho, a licensed victualler, and the case being proved, hs was fined 20s. or ten days, with a caution that the next time he was charged he would be committed without a fine. THAMES. ROBBERY IN A DWELLING -HOUSE.—Henry Stainsby, calling himself an engineer, who has been in custody a fortnight, was brought before Mr. Woolrych on remand, charged with breaking into a room in the dwelling-house of a foreman carpenter named Allender, of No. 9, Jane-street, Commercial-road East. It appeared that the prisoner and his wife rented an apartment in the prosecutor's house, and that soon after they came to live there, about five weeks ago, the prosecutor's bed-room was entered, and two cloaks, two bracelets, a gold guard, a silk velvet cap, and other articles were stolen. When Mrs. Allender, the prosecutor's wife, discovered her loss she spoke to the prisoner on the subject, and he said it was a very singular thing, the property could not go without hands, and that some one well acquainted with the pre mises must have committed the robbery. The prisoner and his wife left the house that night without paying the arrears of rent due to Mr. Allender. It was afterwards dis covered by Cox, a police-sergeant, 45 K, that the prisoner's wife and a woman of infamous character named Page, alias Stark, whose real name is Elizabeth Stark Page, had pawned the two-cloaks stolen from the prosecutor's room at a pawnbroker's shop in the Mile-end-road. Page was a*rested, but there not being sufficient evidence against her, she was liberated. She was now the principal evi dence against Stainsby, and said that, five or six weeks ago, she was living next door to Mr. Allender, and the prisoner called upon her and a•ked her if she wanted any money, to which she replied in the affirmative. He then proposed to her to enter the prosecu tor's bedroom by the window and help herself to the valu ables in the room. She refused to do this, and the prisoner then unlocked the room door, opened a chest of drawers, and took therefrom the various articles named in the charge sheet. He gave them to her and his wife, and they pawned and sold the things among them. The evidence of Page was given with the most unblush ing effrontery. The prisoner in defence said Page was the tempter, that he unlocked the door of the bedroom, and she opened the drawers and took the things out. Stimpson, a police sergeant, No. 21 K, produced the two cloaks, the only portion of the property recovered. Mr. Woolrych convicted the prisoner of unlawfully dis posing of the property, and, in default of paying £7, sen tenced him to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. .PLUIVDERIAG IVE6T-END TRADESMEN. At the Marlborough -street Police-court yesterday Thos. Jones, described as a cook, was charged before Mr. Beadon with stealing, at 205, Regent-street, a revolver pistol of the value of £8 Bs., the property of Mr. James Beattie, gun maker. On being plaeed at the bar he gave the name of Samuel Lyons. From the evidence of Mr. James Beattie it appeared that, on Saturday the prisoner went into his shop about three, followed by three others. Two of the persons asked to see some silver-mounted pistols, which he showed them, telling them the price was five guineas. They purchased nothing, but left the shop—the prisoner and another remaining. Prisoner, as he was show,ing the two out, walked up to the show case and then walked out. The other man asked for some oil, and purchased two bottles. About half an hour after, in consequence of what the officer (.lillingford, 141 C) told him, he missed a pistol from the show case where the prisoner went to. The value of it is £8 Bs. 1001 / 11 111 12 100 10f j I 71 all all all all MEN 3.2.10 i SPORTING TELLIGENCE. CITY BETTING.-(THIS DAY.) Tit'.

The movements in the City during the morning pre pared speculators for the changes in the betting which were made at the Corner in the afternoon. The first two favourites for the Liverpool Cup were very firm at the odds quoted. Russley was advanced to 100 to 8, whilst odds were offered against the starting of his stable companion, Sir William. Wildman, who was backed in London on Saturday with some freedom, and about whom much mystery was observed in certain quarters, was supported at 12 to 1, notwithstand ing the fact that in the Manchester market as much as N to 1 was, it is reported, laid against him at the close of last week. Of Mr. Hughes's lot, M. Philippe only was backed, and his partisans did not seem to have great confidence in the ultimate profit of their investments. The betting on the Two Thousand and Derby does not require comment.

There was very little done on the Liverpool Cup to-day. Lady Ripon was supported at 11 to 2, and any slight ad. vance would have been taken freely. Besides her ladyship there was nothing in force. Millionaire had friends at 100 to 7, and Sir William at 100 to 5. Towards the close there was an offer to take 100 to 7 about Wildman and 100 to 6 against Petra, which could not be got, although both prices had been offered during the day.

The above-named redoubtable piece of wrought iron ordnance, which, it may be remembered, was named in honour of Prince Alfred's visit to the Mersey Steel and Iron Works, on the 20th of Sep tember last, has been so far completed as to admit of its being tested, which was done on Saturday, on the beach between Crossby and Hightown. This immense gun is 12 feet long, is 35 inches in diameter at the breech and 18 inches at the muzzle, and measures no less than 5 feet 2 inches across the trunnions. It is a chamber gun, on the Gomer principle, and is 10 inches in diameter of bore, and calculated to throw a shot weighing between 5001 b. and 60 , 11 b.; its own weigh v t io i u s sl l y o p to la n c s e , d an o d n ofl Saturday, having been pre truck, it was drawn to the place of trial by seventeen horses, although it had to be con veyed over six or eight miles of sandy beach. The trial of Saturday, being only a preliminary one, was made with small charges of powder and com paratively light shot. The object o f S aturday ' s experiments was to ascertain the effect of 10-inch 140-pounder shot against a target similar in struc ture to our floating batteries. The target was put up at a distance of 210 yards from the point at t w e a h k i c h 18 t h i n e e g h e u s n t w h i a c s k i c s o ch ve a r r e g d e dw. with It a nwiarso iron p rm l a e t d e 4 1 inches in thickness, and this target was strongly strutted and kneed, and every means were adopted to enable it to resist the impact of the shot. Notwith standing these precautions the first shot which struck it produced a most extraordinary effect. As already stated, the ball weighed 1401 b., and this mighty projectile was impelled by a charge of 201 b. of powder. It struck just below the bull's eye, and completely carried away the target, Which was driven several feet along the sands, and turned completely over. On examination the plate was found to be indented nearly three inches by the shot, while only a slight crack was visible on its surface. At present this formidable piece of ordnance is smooth iu the bore ; but it is to be rifled, after which it will be tested with the heavier shot already mentioned. It is but right to add that this gun, which is entirely of wrought-iron, was forged hol low, on a plan invented by Lieut.-Col. Clay, by which the solidity and homogeneousness of the metal are more fully insured than by the ordinary methods in use; and it may be fairly stated that Saturday's experiments were considered to be satis factory in every respect. Other experiments will, it is understood, be made with the "Prince Alfred" gun within a comparatively short period of time.— Liverpool Albion. BREBCILLOADING ORDNANCE. A large breech-loading gun, of Sir William Arm strong's construction, but having the apparatus for closing the breech arranged to work from the side, as explained by him at a recent meeting of the In stitution of Civil Engineers, was last week tried for quick and continued firing by the Ordnance Select Committee. The weight of the gun was little over four tons, the shot weighed 1141 b., and the charge used was 141 b. The trial was made at the Woolwich proof butt, and 51 consecutive rounds were fired in 46 minutes and 16 seconds. At the end of the 15th round the shot began to pass through the butt, and the gun and carriage had. in., cousei quence to be removed to another platforM, where the butt presented a sounder face. The time lost by this operation was 13 minutes and 20 seconds. At the 28th and 30th rounds a block of wood, forming part of the temporary carriage used on the occasion, became loose, and the time lost ,in securing it amounted to 11 minutes. DeductinL hese stop pages, which were not attributable to ti:,; gun, the time occupied in firing the 51 rounds was only 21 minutes and 56 seconds, in which time the total weight of shot discharged from the gun was upwards of 24-- tons. The average rate of firing was about 26 seconds per round, but nine consecutive rounds ware fired at the rate of three a minute. The escape of gas at the breech was effectually prevented.
