Geese& PEEL asked bow loci llusgan had hese taisbed

Lord 0. PAGET is reply to the pliant general might
sky that hie queries was moreappikahl• to the head of the
War Depertarst the is the /lord of Admiralty, but his
belief was that the gun had to be tired in various wigs
before it came to the Admiralty. He was, however, es b*
to give • definite rears why it had not beta earlier brot
into the field, Ii reply to the quarks on the paper it.
thought it would be brier to rater to the acsount which
bad appeared in the Tires, as nothing weld lea more
graphic or accurate than that statement of the trial of this
ram op Tuesday hr. He would state shartly the fads.
Then are four shots fired hem what was riled
• 300tM. Armstrong goo, viz., • smooth-bored gun
which was capable of carrying " a spirits! shot of
1501b5., and quite capable of carrying as sicegided abet
• 3001 b. On Tuesday last the Ant .:pelmet was with
• shot of 1521ba• weight, with 011bs. of powder, rid it was
fired at the " Warrior' *argot at • thrum of HO yards.
But he was bound to say that the target had bees roach
shaken by former exparimests, red therefore was sot'
capable of offering the same mart of redrew & The
drat shot struck the hirget ran which bad bees rather
more shaken than the other and it mods • bolo is
the armour plating, paring h 18 inches of paeldag,
ad was stopped by the inner skin of the ship, which was
racked. The next shot, likewise with 401ba of .
powder hit nearly on the terra spot sad writ '
through all, and then were proofs that it would ,
commit fearful devastation io the interior of • vessel. With '
regard to the third shot, Sir W. Armstrong requested the
First Lord of the Admiralty to allow him to cues - lillbs.
' more powder, to test whether the whole amount of that
e -Um would be burned sufficiently quickly so as to give
the shot greater velocity ; conesquemtl. 501 b. was mod, sad
the shot was fired at the targst at dm part which wpm-
anted the strongest pert of • ship, sad it west through
the armour plating sad buried itself • ocasideesble distorts
bride, derating that it would have gar dem through sad
isto the opposite side of • ship. The fourth eases bad
very much the same effect. It was not easy to my
whether the whole charge of powder ins burned cw sot.
The boo. gentleman asked whether • 900-pousder could be
used on board ship. In reply he would say that it would be
hazardous to state distiadly yes or no, bat he believed they
would be able to carry a 300-pounder ; at the same time its
was not prepared to say that • ship would be able to carry
aarmour plating sufficiently strong to resist a shot of that
weight. (clear, hear.)
' Sir J. PAKINOTON asked whether the graphic
_ammo&
which had appeared in the papers had beer published with
: the approbation of the Admiralty, sad whether it was de-
sirable that all experimemts with tepid to the Armstrong
guns should be made public?
' Lord C. PACK? said he had so hesitation in laying that
' the Admiralty gave so sort of suction to the publioatios
' of that report, sad ft was • very moot qua :Wm imbed
whether it was desirable that the experiment. in this come
! try should be made pathos. (Hear, bear.) As to • questios
' which had bees asked him privately by the hon. and gal-
; lent member for he would state that the Admi-
ralty would bave no to lay ea the table the report
of the iron-plating roartimies, but at the lame tines they
: had • strong *pinks that It would sot be advtable to do so.
