WASHINGTON, March 2, 1852
The whole world, and the rest of mankind is down
to the steamship Baltic the most beautiful fast
est and strongest steamer afoat the wide wa
ters of this globe A number of captains of packet
ships have on with her, and her fault
less, while the experienced naval architects,
and number of naval officers, have given their lesti
mony to her strength, speed and capacity of being
employed of war.
There is but steamship in the United States
service-the Mississippi-which is built equally
strong, and equal to her in the performance of
duty Ii is also not generally known that the whole
machinery of the Baltic is below the line (put
there cost of hundred and fifty thousand dol
ars,) consequently entirely of the reach of shot.
The motion of the ship, too, is rendered much more
steady by this disposition of her power and her speed
materially increased. The Baltic will leave here
tomorrow for New York.

RIFLED CANNON. A nine-pounder ied-battery gun
has been grooved at the Royal Arsenal on the rifle
principle. and experiments will shortly be made with
it in the Marshes to ascertain its merit compared with
the usual nne-pounder field battery gun when charged
with spherical shot, The four grooves in the rifle
cannon are about half an inch broad each, and the
shot and shell intended to be fired from 1t are made OF
the cyIindro-conical or sugar-loaf shape. with four
projecting parts each and fill the grooves.
Both shot and shell galvanized, and so smooth,
and liable to rust by that process, that they may
be rammed home with the greatest ease-the simple
pressure of the hand being sufficient to place them
an length into the mouth of the cannon, athogh
they made to fit full than the spherical shot
does, and consequently they will have less wIndage
and require less charge of powder. The sugar loaf
shape of the galvanized iron shot renders it of
far greater weight than nne-pounder spherical shot;
and the principle which it will proceed after being
fred from rifle cannop, being similar to an arrow,
instead OF revolving in the manner as spherical
shot, is expected to cause 60 direct to the
mark, and to have much longer range.
