WHAT IT CosTs TO BoMBARD CIrY.-That
war is an expensive occupation the British Go
vernment and people are beginning to under
stand by means of augmented taxes, and the
opening of the fire of the Allies suggests cal
culation as to the cost of the iron balls which
have been thrown into Sebastopo by the five
hundred cannon which have vomited them in
what GoRTsCHAKoFF called an Internal fire."
The accounts by the Asia represent that each
of these guns fired one hundred and twenty
rounds day, which gives total for the five
hundred of sixty thousand rounds. This fire
had been continued for thirteen days. making
an aggregate of seven hundred and eighty
thousand missiles rained upon the city
The weight of the shot fired from the guns
OF the Allies varies probably from nineteen to
one hundred and forty pounds, and of the shells
from fifteen to one hundred and ten pounds
and forty-fve pounds would probably be low
estimate for an average This would give a
daily delivery of iron to the Russians, amount
ing to two millions seven hundred thousand
pounds, and total for the thirteen days of
MlrtyJfre million one hundrcd thousand pounds
the prime cost of which, in the rough, at the
average price of pig iron in England for the
last year. not less than three hundred and thir-
teen thousand three hundred and eighty dol
lars. This is of course, without any regard to
the enormous cost Of transportation to the
Crimea.
If the cannon balls fired from the Allied
lines, during the thirteen days were rolled into
rail bars, weighing sixty pounds to the yard
the bars would extend three hundred and
thirty-two miles or if laid as a Railroad
would suffice for single track road from New
York to Albany, with all the necessary turn
outs.
The charge of powder for each gun would
probably average about six pounds, which
would show an expenditure for the thirteen days
OF four millions six hundred and eighty thou
sand pounds of powder. Such powder is worth
here eighteen cents pound, but in England
would not, probably, cost more than fifteen
cents, at which price the powder cost seven
hundred and two thousand dollars.
