R. S. Hewlett, C. 8., was brought Ile a - .se S yesterday after three days' practice. The firing at the sample plates resulted in nothing of particular interest to the general public or calling for any re mark further than that the plate supplied by Messrs- John Brown and Co., of the Atlas Steel Works, Sheffield, undoubtedly carried off all the honours. The firing at the experimental plates proved inte resting and important as far as related to the testing of the two bent plates. The crossed planks of iron had been tested in somewhat different forms, but on the same principle, on several former occasions, and have utterly failed, as they did yesterday, in resist ing the blows of the 68-pounder. One of the earliest experiences gained in convection with ar mour plating was that iron divided into small or separate masses offered no serious resistance to shot, in whatever way it might befixed on the chip's side as armour. The crossed planks or plates of iron fired at on the present occasion were cech 6ft. long by lft wide and nin. thick. Six of these were bolted on the Powerful side by side in a horizontal position, the remaining six being laid over them in a contrary or vertical position, and the whole 12 thus covering a 6ft. square space. A ship thus pro tected by divided masses of metal would be more easily destroyed by the ordinary 68-pounder smooth bore gun than a wooden vessel, and free from ,all armour casing, could possibly be. The result of the testing of the two bent plates must suggest serious considerations in relation to the armouring of the bows and sterns of our ships of war. The supposed object of the Admiralty in making this experiment was to ascertain whether any difference existed, and if so, to what extent, in the shot-resisting quali ties of plates bent hot and cold, the latter being doubtless the - eheaper and more expeditious method. For this purpose one of the '4,i. "Royal Alfred plates" was seleetedfrotii-Tte stockin store in Ports mouth dockyard, and divided into two parts, each being then about 70. long by 3ft. 6in. wide. It had had been intended to bend each of these portions of the plate to a curve of 4,1-in.from a centre line,but in bend ing the one part cold in the hydraulic press,themetal began to open on the outer curve when the curve had only reached liin. out of the intended 4-1-;. Under these circumstances the plate was only bent further to 2-lin., just half the extent originally in tended. The other part was bent hot in the wedge press to the same extent, but exhibited no opening of the metal, and was apparently as sound as when first sent in from the contractors. The plates were of rolled manufacture, and had been bent across the grain. The first shot at that part of the plate bent cold decided its fate, the effects produced by the shot proving incontestibly that the very operation of bending the metal cold had completely altered the structure and nature of the metal, rendering it to a great extent crystalline and brittle, and worse than useless as protecting armour to the bows or stern of a ship, for the broken parts would merely assist the half-crumbled shot in its further work of destruction, and, the ship's side once penetrated, would cover her decks with broken and jagged pieces of iron, acting as showers of grape upon the gun's crows, and destroying all life within its reach. The firing at the hot bent plate was attended with as much interest. That bent cold, from the open ings exhibited in its bending, was not expected to stand very severe hammering, although the way in which it broke up astonished every one. The hot bent portion, however, represented the sides of our present armoured ships afloat and building, and therefore strong hopes were entertained that it was all right. The result showed that it was not so. This plate stood but little bettor than the one bent cold in the hydraulic press, and its structure was also apparently as much changed as that of the cold bent plate by the bending process to which it had been subjected. It is requisite here to state that the plate selected for this experiment was from the manufactory of one of the best of our armour plate makers, Mr. John Brown, of Sheffield, a firm at present unsurpassed, if even equalled, in the uniform good quality of their plates. With, therefore, this utter destruction by the pro cess of " bending" of all the rigidity and blow resisting powers of an acknowledged superior de scription of armour plate, certainly more complete in the cold than hot process, abundant material is furnished for future and most serious consideration in armouring our ships of war. If a correct judg ment may be formed from the result of this experi ment, than no armour plate can be bent hot or cold without serious injury, and the more it is bent the more it loses its power of resisting shot, until at length the shot entirely overpowers any resistance from the plate, at which point the latter becomes a most destructive agent to the ship it was intended to protect. The following promotions and appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—James W. Arm strong, master, and A. M. P. Mackay, master, to be retired captains; Dr. John Munro to be on the re tired list of Deputy Inspector General of Hospitals and Fleets ; Henry De Ridder, assist-paymaster, to the Cambridge ; and Wm. G. Atkinson, assist.- paymaster to the Hastings, for the Ferret.
