Gux COTTON.—We have to record the occurrence
of an accident to the son of the eminent gun-maker of
Bond-street, which might have been attended with seri-
ous consequences. Mr. Lancaster was engaged with
Mr. Taylor in making some experiments on the projec-
tile power of gun-cotton, and several charges of 50 grains
each, with 11 ounce of shot, had been fired from a strong
14-guage gun with perfect safety, when on increasing
the charge to 83 grains and 1 ounce of shot, the gun
burst with great violence. The sleeve of Mr. Lancaster's
coat was torn through, and he received several slight
wounds on the fleshy part of his arm, none of which,
we are happy to add, are of a serious character. In some
previous experiments which Mr. Lancaster had made
with the cotton of Dr. Schonbein, in the presence of that
gentleman and Professor Faraday, the same quantity of
cotton had been fired with perfect safety. We, there-
fore, caution these who may be trying experiments with
this powerfully explosive compound to be exceedingly
cautious. as an accident has occurred even in such ex-
perienced hands. The gun used by Mr. Lancaster had
been previously proved with an ounce of powder and a
ball fitting the bore.
