AnTILLnitY EXPOUNEnTs AT Bnoxisunrimart.—A series
of interesting experiments were carriedout during last week
as Shoebaryoess, in the presence of numerous members of
the ordnance select committee, and the recently appointed
iron plate committee, Sir W. Armin:nig, 4c., for the pm-
pose of tally tinting the power of the old smooth bore and
the sew rifted guns against the strongest combination of
iron-plates and timber yet experimented on. It will be
seen by the following official detail that the result of the
experiments was entirely conclusive as to the immense supe-
riority of rifled admire. The battery or target consisted
of • solid wall of iron ten inches thick, built up on
Thoroycroft's system of dovetailing, sod this was backed in
the strongest manner by heavy timber, and braced with iron
bars. The first attack was made with heavy guns, 68-
pounders of the old genii* pattern, but the various projec-
tiles fired by these smooth-bore use mad, no percep-
tible impeaaaion, and it was evident that the battery
would stand any amount of pounding from these wespoos,•
in fact, after all the ammunition expended, the wall of
iron and timber appeared to be, for all pnicticabla pur-
poses, indestructible. One of the Armstrong 120 shunt
guns, was then placed in position and fired with • projectile
weighing 1201ba. The extraordinary power of the weapon
was instantly apparent ; such was the effect of the firing
of this mass, combined with its velocity, that at a range of
600 yards it clamed out one of the 10-inch plates, at the
tame time carrying away the back-support. The next gun
fired was one of the ordinary 100-pounder Armstrongs,
with a solid projectile, weighing 1101 b. The battery was
streak in another part, and a breach was made clean
through the structure, the fabric itself being so weakened
as to ensure ultimate destruction. The third shot, with
the same weight of projectile, was directed against another
part of the battery, cod fully (tested the stability of the
superiocumbent noes. The result was conclusive, as the
whole fabric of the battery (already weakened) came down
above the point which was struck.
