The substitution of steel tubes instead of wrought iron
for the interior of rifled guns, which is the iirrentioo of Mr.
John Audarson, acting superintendent of the royal goo
factories, has been fully tested in the presence a( the

respect. An experimaniai gun prepared on this principle
at the Royal Arsenal has been subjected to every description
of proof, tiring 400 rounds with a full charge of ammunition
without the slightest injury to the weapon.

lish the naval yard at Deal, all the available stores from
