NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

The Britannia, 120, on her return lately to Portsmouth
from the Black Sea, landed a fine brass field-piece, a
trophy from the memorable field of Alma. This is about

being removed from the Gun-wharf, Portsmouth, to
Woolwich, far national exhibition. It has already been
inspected by some hundreds of military men and civilians.
It is a 14-pounder, with carriage, driving limber, bucket,
sponge, rammer, worm, scraper, and all appurtenances
complete. The top of the bucket also serves as a torn-
pion for the gun ; the axle-tree bears strong evidence of
an attempt to cut it through to prevent the enemy get-
ting it off the field when its capture became imminent,
and the pole was effectually cut away. The gun has an
elevating screw, worked by a wincu through the limber,
and so simple as to " beat' anything of the kind in the
British gunnery working. The ranges of the gun are
inscribed on the carriage, which is made with the view
of mounting a 24-pounder it needed. It has " 1852"
marked on it.

An enormous quantity of shot, guns, and shell, rifles,
pistols, and common arms have been supplied from the
Portsea gun wharf for the equipment of the Ba tic fleet.
and a very large supply of Colt's revolving pistols has
also been provided there for the same service.
