on Thursday morning, and dined that day with Colonel

barracks examined the breech-loading cannon. Two of
them are now on their way to Woolwich—one a field
gun, the other a ship's gun, in a traversing carriage and
slide. It was explained to the duke that two men would
load and fire these guns (6-pounders) ten times in a
minute, with ball ; and that two men would load and
fire a 32-pounder, on board ship, on the same construc-
