THE SMALL DEBTS ACT.

The following correspondence, and the details sub-
joined, will show what progress has been hitherto made
in preparing to carry out this most important measure:
" Wimbledon, Sept. 16.
" Sir,—lt is the intention of her Majesty's Govern-
ment to proceed forthwith to put in execution the Act
recently passed for the recovery of small debts.
"The first thing to be done is the division of the
country into convenient districts, which will be made by
the authority of the Queen in Council ; but it is ad-
visable that the final consideration of the subject should'
be preceded by some local inquiry, in order that a con-
sistent scheme may be brought under the notice of her
Majesty's advisers.
" It is my wish that you should undertake to conduct
these inquiries, for which you are well qualified by your
knowledge of the details of the Act and of the several
local Acts which it will supersede.
"I annex the particulars of a set of districts with
which I have been furnished ; from which, combined
with the verbal instructions which you have received
from me, you will perceive the principles on which I
wish the division to be proposed.
" You will endeavour to ascertain from those persons
who appear to you most likely to be able to furnish
correct and disinterested information, how far these dis-
tricts are likely to prove convenient, and what altera-
tions may be deemed desirable. You will be careful to
remind those whom you consult that this inquiry is
merely preliminary, and that full opportunity will be
given for the representations of all parties concerned,
after the formal notice required by the Act shall have
been given in the Gazette, of her Majesty's intention to
take the matter into consideration.

GREAT BRITAIN STEAM-SHIP,
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlB,—Now, near the middle of the nineteenth cen-
tury, when competing merit has brought the sci-
ence of, engineering to such perfection that our
most _ eloquent and learned councils tell us that
there are no engineering difficulties save that of find-
ing money, it may be considered out of place for
me, when great men are in the field, to contribute my
mite in offering a few suggestions which, if not acted
upon in floating the Great Britain, may in some degree
be useful in stimulating more competent persons to ac-
complish so desirable an object.
1 The plan which I should adopt would be to place at
each side of the ship, and at equal distance from the line
of gravity, two cast-iron hollow . pillars, with circular
solid bases, and constructed of such strength , as would
enable them to bear the whole weight of the ship the
bases to be constructed with ribs,
and of sufficient di-
mensions to support the upright position of the
pillars (the top of which should stand above the high-
water line of spring tides), or should these bases not be
sufficient, the ground might be piled, and the pillars set
in suitable frame-work; then at the top of these pillars
I should carry tie beams from the one to the other, form-
ing a quadrangle, and using such other tie beams or
chain work as might be required to secure the vertical
position of the pillars, and from the top of the pillars on
the starboard to the opposite ones on the larboard, I
should carry a tudor-head of wrought iron, sufficiently
strong to bear the weight of the ship, and constructed
in such a way as to throw the lines of gravity as much
as possible on the vertical pillars; care being taken at
the same time to brace the pillars together with chains
sufficiently strong to resist the outward pressure which
would necessarily fall upon them. Then from the vertex
of these arches I would suspend iron bars to the fulcrum
of levers, placed in such position that the suspended
iron bars would act as fulcrums to the levers, which
would be so constructed as to enable four or five men to
work them with a screw sufficiently powerful to lift a
weight of 20,000 tons. Having thus securely, and of more
than sufficient strength, arranged the whole apparatus, I
would attach to the ship at low water as many boats or
other floating bodies as I could procure, and with the rising
tides I would gradually apply the combined powers every
following tide, until I had succeeded in lifting the ship
out of the sand • and if the water should then be found
insufficient to &at her, I would anchor a number of
boats at a short distance from her, to break off the sea
and storms till the next spring tides afforded me a mai-
lciency of water, making in the meantime such repairs
as would enable me to tow her to sea ; and should the
vessel when raised from the sand be capable of floating
herself, there would be no difficulty in allowing
her either then, or at any other -time, to carry
away without danger the whole of the tackle and
top part of the frame-work leaving behind only the
metal pillars, which could afterwards be taken also. I
am fully aware of the position in which the Great
Britain is now placed, and I beg to recommend to all
who are interested in the matter a careful perusal of
these suggestions, which contain an outline of the system
that I should adopt, had I the honour of assisting to
float her, which I have no doubt would be the successful
result of a proper application of these means.
I am, Sir, your obedint servant,
EDWARD SANDS,
Civil Engineer and Surveyor.

" Gwyder House, Whitehall, October, 1846.
" Sir,—Enclosed I send you some copies of a map
showing the boundary of a district, which it has been
proposad to place under one judge for the purposes of
the Small Debt Court Act.
" These districts have been formed by consideration of
the division of the country under the Act for Register-
ing Births, Deaths, and Marriages. The district No.
) consists of the superintendent-registrar's dis-
tricts, which are named in the accompanying list ; and
it is proposed that courts should be held in the towns
named at the foot of the list. I have not thought it ad-
visable at present to mark on the map any subdivisions
of the district, because these cannot be well adjusted
until the principle of the main division into districts is
settled ; and it is desirable to learn in the first instance
how far that is likely to prove satisfactory. The towns
have been selected so as to cover the whole country with
courts as equally as possible, having some reference also
to those towns in which courts are now held under local
Acts. It is not proposed that courts should be held
at the same intervals in all these towns ; once a week or
oftener will be necessary in some, while in others
once a fortnight or month, or even less frequently,
will be found sufficient. I request that you will take the
trouble of communicating these lists to those gentlemen
of your county who, in your opinion, are most likely to
have considered the subject, and to intimate to them
that I shall be glad to profit by any suggestions they
may wish to make. These may be addressed, either to
me, or to my secretary, Emilius Clayton, Esq., at Gwy-
der House, Whitehall, and endorsed Small Debts
Courts.' After revising the lists upon such information
as I shall receive in consequence of this first communi-
cation, I intend to send the maps, corrected as may be
necessary, to each bench of magistrates in the county,
and by these means I hope to be enabled to present an
accurate report to the Lord Chancellor for his consi-
deration.

GUN COTTON.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,—The great excitement created in the minds of the
scientific portion of the community by this discovery should
create regret for the iniudicious ,nnhiirefee °teen
ries." One, unfortunately, has already occured to a gifted
young man which every one must regret; to prevent a
recurrence of this, and to lay bare this specious but very
doubtful benefit to science, I will, with your leave,
endeavour to put the public in possession of the rationale
of this mechanical distribution of explosive matter ; for,
in reality, it is but a mechanical discovery after all. In
endeavouring to do this, I will use language of the
plainest description, and convey my explanation as
briefly as possible. The two agents in the production
of gunpowder of all qualities are nitre and charcoal.
Sulphur is an adjunct not absolutely necessary, save as
an agglomerating substance, to give an enduring
consistency to the grains of gunpowder. Experi-
ments have shown gunpowder to be equally pro-
pellant without this agent as with it. Sir Humphry
Davy discovered that gunpowder, formed mechanically
into the smallest state of grain or granulation possible,
gave a much more instantaneous explosion than when
in a larger grain. The principle is, that the smaller
grains present the greatest amount of surface, a
greater number of interstices to be acted upon by the
flame, and hence the whole converted into explosive
fluid simultaneously. Experience Las shown this dis-
covery to be perfectly worthless in practice, as convic-
tion has gradually returned to the fact that gunpowder,
to be beneficially employed in the expulsion of projec-
tiles, must be made of a grain proportionate to the size
of the gun used. In sporting gunpowder there are
three or four sizes of grain ; in artillery a very much
larger grain is necessary ;—why ? That the grain
may burn longer, to keep giving out fresh expulsive
matter, until the larger mass of projectile is put into
motion, and to continue this generation of forte until
it has reached the highest state of velocity. This
slight introduction brings us to the fact that gunpowder,
to be beneficial, must be a propellant, moderated hi its
explosive tendency by mechanical means. We possess a
knowledge of explosive materials vastly more powerful
than gunpowder, but, from this very fact, quite useless
as a projectile force. This has been sufficiently tested on
many occasions. The discovery of the gun cotton is the
extreme diffusion of nitre in immediate contact with char-
coal, or, more properly speaking, carbon, the ingredients
of which exist in the most minute portions that can be
conceived, the nitre in solution, the carbon in the
smallest particles, many thousand times more minute
than ever attempted (or possible) to be obtained by
any other means whatever. The action of the acid
upon the cotton, when immersed in it, is to remove the
small proportion of vegetable matter, and to impregnate
the remainder, which is nearly all carbon, with nitre;
thus forming by simplest means the most perfect
' incorporation of the explosive agents, and exposing
an amount of surface to the action of the flame
greater than obtainable by any other means yet
discovered. It will be perceived this is but the exten-
sion, to an enormous extent, of Davy's scheme of
small granulation ; for it is but the simultaneous libe-
ration of the gases of gunpowder by mechanical agency;
there is no new power, obtained ; its action is thus
powerful by its instantaneous ignition. The low tem-
perature at which it is ignited arises from the minute-
ness of the particles brought in contact with the heating
agent. The reason of its being exploded over granulated
gunpowder without igniting it is, that its explosion does
not endure sufficiently long to raise the particles of gun-
powder up to 600 degrees of heat ; but could the gun-
powder be reduced to the most impalbable state of pow-
der, similar to the cotton wool, it would explode with
the same degree of heat. Sporting powder explodes at
a less temperature than cannon powder, and so on, all
depending on the quantity of matter heated. Another
point, that 40 grains of the gun cotton effects: naore force
than
or gives more velocity (to small pro.; Li?e )
50 grains of gunpowder, may beexpslecalobnedd b,y two
ly
facts—first, its instantaneous explosion,

be a there-
gasses as the other of the one generate
fore, we are Justified in asserting
..
of explosion. The just estimation of these
really mechanical means of diffusing and incorporating
taheetsagmeunstst impress us with conviction that, save for
fvery limited purposes, this discovery can never benefit
the human race, and is certain to cause many lamentable
accidents; no gum ever made will long withstand its
use, if quantity is employed, as the intensity of its velo-
city brings it on a perfect similarity with the fulminat-
ing compounds; these will project small projectiles
with great velocity a given distapce, but to obtain an ex-
tended range is impossible, with safety; its application
to cannon mall (if very great caution is not used) be the
means of destroying many valuable lives; for sufficiently
do I feel conversant with the subject to affirm, that there
is not a gun in her Majesty's service but would burst it
charged with anything like the same weight as is used
of gunpowder, and under no circumstances will an ex-
treme range be obtainable. Time will show this view- to
be correct. I am, &e.
