Rear-Admiral Elliot, the newly appointed Supe rintendent of Portsmouth dockyard, hoisted his flag of command yesterday at that port. Her Majesty's screw steam corvette Racoon, 22, Capt. Victor Count Gleichen, which has recently been refitted at Chatham Dockyard, was taken from Sheerness harbour for her final trial on Monday previously to proceeding to sea. The Racoon carries an armament of two 1101 b. Armstrong guns, one 121 b. Armstrong and one 121 b. smooth bore guns for boats, ono 121 b. Armstrong fieldpiece, and one 61b. smooth bore gun for practice at short ranges on the upper deck ; 16 8-inch smooth bore, and four 401 b. Armstrong guns on the main deck. The most experienced workmen have been employed in fitting her out, which has been done on the princi ple most approved in the service, and no expense or labour has been spared to render her, as she un doubtedly is, one of the finest vessels of her class now afloat. The trial was under the superinten dence of Capt. T. P. Thompson, of the Sheerness steam reserve, and took place at the measured mile off Maplin Sands. Messrs. W. Rumble, inspector of machinery afloat at Sheerness, and Baker, chief inspector of Chatham Dockyard, were in attend ance to note the results with respect to the working of the machinery, and the condition of the ship was also minutely inspected by Messrs. Moore, of Chat , ham Docky ar d, an d M ar ti n , assistant-maste n r harg ai ; wright at Shee r ness. The engines we e re sh i ip. The of Mr. Lawson, chief engineer of h vessel attained an average speed a t full t boiler power of 10.1 knots per hour ; r evolutions of engines, 54 per minute ; pressure of steam, 201 b.; vacuum, 251 b; while at half boiler power the average speedwas 7 . 279 knots ; revolutions of engines, 42. The circle was turned with full boiler powtr, helm to port, 17 deg. in 5 min. 21 secs. ; with half-boiler power, helm to starboard, 23 deg. in 5 min. 59 secs. The engines were stopped when goi ng a t f u ll speed i n 16 secs. from the time of moving the telegraph ; they were started Lhead in 35 sees,, and astern in 25 secs. from dead stop. The Racoon is fitted with trunk engines, 400-horse power, made by Messrs. Ravenhill, Salkeld, and Co., and common screw with corners cut off; pitch, 2Gft. ; diameter lGft.; length of blade, 3ft. During the trial the draught of water was 18ft.2in.forward and 19ft.0 in. aft. There was an entire absence of hot bearings or priming, and the trial was pronounced highly successful both as regards the machinery and the qualities of the vessel. The Racoon left Sheerness harbour on Tuesday for Greenhithe, where she will be stationed until after the arrival of her Royal Highness the Princess Alexandra, after which she will proceed,to Portsmouth, and remain there until the Royal mar riage ceremony is over, when °Ili) is expected to • //„ C- W S PA PER ^ I ZA leave for a lengthened cruise on the 0., . fi r . 414 way, ytredcn, and Iceland. The firing at the sample and experimeettal s mour plates on the sides of the Powerful, target ship, at Portsmouth, under the superintendence of Capt. R. S. Hewlett, C. 8., was brought to a close 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 Meesrs• 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 bad . 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 connection 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 ship's side as armour. The crossed planks or plates of iron fired at on the present occasion were each 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 61t. 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 cheaper and more expeditious method. For this purpose one of the 4-lin. a Royal Alfred plates" was selected from the stock in store in Ports mouth dockyard, and divided into two parts, each being then about 'lift. long by 3ft. 6in. wide. It had had been intended to bend each of these portions of the plate to a curve of 41in.from a centre line,but in bend ing the one part cold in tbe hydraulic press, the metal began to open on the outer enrve when the curve had only reached llin. out of the intended 4i. Under these circumstances the plate was only bent further to 2/in., 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 crews, 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. Tula plate stood but little better 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 way 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 frem the plate, at which point the latter bedomes 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. THE ARMY. The public works now in progress at Chatham, as well as those intended to be carried out at that garrison during the next financial year, will involve an outlay of close upon £20,000, which sum will be taken by the Government for the purpose in the es timates now before Parliament. The most impor tant of the works contemplated is the erection of a gymnasium, the cost of which will be upwards of £5,000, exclusive of the site on which it is erected. Of this sum, however, only £2,500 will be taken this year, so that the erection of the building will probably occupy soma time. The importance of a gymnasium cannot be overestimated, and the Army Sanitary Commissioners have recommended the erec tion of such a building at all our large garrisons. The site selected for the proposed building is exceed ingly appropriate, being open and easily accessible. The Commissariat establishment, the works of which are in a very forward state, is set down in the esti mates at £7,430, of which amount £2,600 has been already expended, leaving nearly £5,000 to be voted for the completion of the building. A portion of the establishment has been already finished and taken possession of by the Government, the whole:of the meat required by the troops of the garrison being killed and prepared by a number of the Commis sariat Corps under the superintendence of an offi cer belonging to that department of The additional buildings now in courso t o h f e i ll erectionservice.this and fur the completion of which a vote • year be required, include a bakery, in which th e troops bread required for the will be b a k e d 1 a brewery, b arr ack-rooms, officers' quarters, and b u ildings.
