TROTMAN'S PATENT ANCHOR.—Mr. Trotraang
the inventor of Trotman's patent anchor, has issued a state-
ment exposing some of the peculiarities of the AdmiraltY
administration. In 1853 a Government Committee, ap-
pointed to test the merits of competing anchors, reported spy
kinds as being superior to the Admiralty anchor, and that
Trotman's was the best' of these. The experiments were
made at the cost of the patentees, and each competitor
looked for reward in the certainty that if the report should
be in his favour his invention would be adopted. No such
result took place ; outside persons have received marks of
Admiralty approval, but the only answer Mr. Trotman can
obtain is that, if he desires it, " My Lords will Permit fur-
ther trials of his anchor." As this would cost him £2OO in
addition to £4OO already expended, and could lead at the
best to no result beyond that already attained—namely, an
unequivocal report in its favour—he has declined to enter-
thin the offer, and has invited the production before the
House of Commons of all the correspondence on the sub-.
ject. Meanwhile, he points out that in the case of the 110Yel
yacht, where the Admiralty dare not trifle with the aide,'
of the Queen, they have ordered its use. He also challenge
a competition at his own expense of a " Trotmart.'s anchor
of 50 cwt., costing £9O, against any anchor now in her
Majesty's dockyard of 100 cwt., or more, the contract valueof which exceeds £365." It shall, he says, sustain a highere-
proof, possess greater holding power, and perform in a more
efficient manner every duty required, although only on
half the weight and one-fourth the cost of the larger anchor.
THE DEFENCE OF THE TAY.—The Perth Courier
understands that Government, alive to the necessity of
protecting the entrance to the Tar, have got plans propared
for putting Broughty Castle in testate of complete repair'
and of erecting strong fortifications around it. It is pro
posed to place on the fortifications a battery of not less than
15 guns of havy calib ad long rane. Five of these are
to be pointed eastwardre, son as effectuaglly to command the
entrance of the river. The castle, when completed, wait
it is understood, afford accommodation to a force of fromBo to 100 artillerymen for the service of the guns.
