NEW Gus CARRIAGE.—Letters from Munich of the
24th give an account of the experiments lately made at
Munich, in the presence of the King and the whole of
his staff, on a new gun carriage, invented by Duke
William of Wurtemberg, which' were considered per-
fectly satisfactory. Although the carriage is constructed
entirely of forged iron, it weighs two cwt. less than the
common 6-pounder gun carriage, and therefore requires
less manual labour to detach it from the tumbril, and
can be placed in position with greater celerity. But the
chief feature of the invention is, that the gun is placed
lower
rIY thani
beneath the axle, by which means the chances of up-
setting the gun from the inequalities of the field are
n
reduces,
asthe
placed much
the
ge cenentrarrio of gravityageehtpr iseent used in the
artillery. The last experiments are to be made in the
presence of Prince Luitpold, the head of the Bavarian
artillery, on his return from Italy in a few days, and the
invention will then be introduced generally,
