A NEW SHELL FROM LIVERPOOL.—It is not very
generally known that shells have been cast in thousands
weekly at the Vauxhall Foundry, and shipped for Wool-
wich, where they are tested. At Fawcett's foundry,
mortars of large size are being cast, and the shells and
the mortars are superior to those supplied from other
place,. The mortars are all proved by hydraulic pres•
sure before they leave the foundry. One of the en•
gineers at Fawcett's has made an important discovery
in the construction of a shell, and the Admiralty and
war-office are delighted with the improvement. The
shell is cast very thin, and lined inside in a way, which
is a secret, to resist the influence of molten iron. With
molten iron the shell is to be filled, and, while in a fluid
state, fired. Each shell will contain 501bs. of iron in a
state of fusion, and where the shell falls destruction
cz-
tend., around ; if on damp ground, no man can lie within
50 yards of it. The filling of each shell will take 25
minutes, and there will be no difficulty, in shin or
trenches, preparing the molten metal. In ancient times
forts were defended by pouring molten lead on the be-
siegers ; now we will project the molten metal upon the
besieged.—Liverpool paper.
