THE MONSTER Gun.

The following is moro particular account
than that given heretofore Of the trial of the nMon-
sser Gun" which has been recently manu- featured
In England for the United States steam frigate
PRlNcErVN:
"The gun was drawn by nine horses. On ar.
iU!ng at Its temporary destination, it was firmly
Undecided In the sand, and the muzzle, which
was pointed Out to sea, was slightly elevated in
line above the surface OF the water. The first
pail weighing 2i9 lbs, was then driven home,
the gun being charged with 80 lbs. of powder,
and The first shot fired at ten o'clock, in the pre-
sence of about five hundred spectators. The re-
sun was most satisfactory. The report was deaf
Eening, and was distinctly heard nine miles OIL.
AT the distance OF about three miles, as nearly as
could be judged, The bali was seen bounding on
the surface OF the water. occasionally dipping and
springing up again, until at length 1t became
wholly lost to, view. The second was the trial
shot. Two balls, each Weighing 2l9 lbs, were
driven home As lbs. of powder being the charge.
This shot was equally satisfactory. The report,
OF course was terrific, but the gun withstood the
shock, and thereby proved that it had been man
featured on principle and with material which
render bursting almost, if not altogether, an i'm
possibility. great number of single shots,
with balls Of 2l9 lbs. each, were fired during the
afternoon Of Friday and the whole of Saturday,
with the like successful result. 1t is further sta
ted that the gun will be shortly shipped by a
vessel for America, there to be taken on board the
war steamer for which it was manufactured"
