England Learning from America.

A correspondent Of the Chronicle savs Tho,
the Massachusetts, Arms Company at Cbiconee
Falls are now constructing for the British GOV
ernment complete set of machinery for doing
gun-work. The machines are modelled from
those at the arsenal In Springfield, which every
one who has visited there has seen. IN their
astonishment aud admiration. They perform
the work in the most efficient and perfect man.

with automaton exactness, and converting the
rough and i'll shaped wood into finished gun.
stock. England, up to the present time has
not had, to any extont, this system Of the an.
piication Of machinery to the construction Of
firearms. Nearly all the small arms for the
English army have been made by private con.
tract, portion here and portion there: 40
that the different parts of the arm, though the
weapon was compete Ia iise,f, would not Ct
any other than the particular gun for which
they were constructed. On the contrary, far
better system has been pursued by our govern.
ment, in the manufacture Of their small arms
The different portions of these are all exactly
alike, and accurately fitted to guages; thus
any portion Of an American musket will it any
other musket to WHICH il may be wished TO
apply It.
BY this system Of interchange, so called. a
from number Of defective ones, thereby in.
ducing an immense saving to the government
in time, labor, and money. A commission Of
army officers, appointed by the British govern.
ment, recently visited this country, and after
witnessing the perfection with which the gov.
eminent gun manufacture was carried on at
the arsenal at Springfield, decided to adopt the
system, and have contracted with the companv
at Chicopee for the requisite machinery. The
work is now progressing rapidly and in the
course Of few months the Arms Company
will have completed the most elaborate. inee.
NOUS, and highly-fnished set Of machines ever
produced in the United States, if not in the
world. This is probably the first machinery
with the exception Of a few models Of looms
&c. made in this country for England, and
certainly the first ever made for the British
government. 1t Is a matter which Americans
can regard with honorable pride and satisfac.
ton, as peculiar and striking evidence tba,
the power and ingenuity Of America in the
arts, Is being forcibly impressed upon the ma,
tons abroad.
