STRENGTH OF THE RUSSIAN NAVY.

semofcia statement of the strength Of the Russian
navy just published in England, shows that Russia has
been actively employed during the last I've six years in
increasing her maritime force. She has now six fleets

Sea- the Caspian Sea, Lake Ara and the AMOR The
aggregate strength of this force hundred and twenty
two vessels, besides large ota Of guDbosts the

gunbosts which Admiral Gasenapp is busly engaged in
completing 10 the Government navy yards In ALL Russia

GEN. GILLMORE'S ARTILLERY.

The of Gen. Gilmore first at the siege of Fort
Pulaski and recently in the demolition of Fort Sumter
has made every thing in relation TO the guns he has used
80 effectively interesting to the public and there are
facts regarding the range and weight Of the pieces
which not generally known, purpose giving such Of
them to readers could not be considered contra
band
The latest victory of Gillmorewe do not say the last
for others will crown his energy and ability before the flag
of our country the buildings of Charlesons
perhaps the greatest triumph yet achieved by artillery
formidable Notifications previously presumed to be i'm
pregnable to shot and she'll Placing his batteries such
position to command and damage to some extent the
works Of the enemy and then by gradual approaches
advance his guns until limited distance ensure perfection
If range and certain destruction has been the aim OF Gen.
Gilmore, and where the nterposon of other works in
rrered with point blank range, he has obvised the diff
Gully by firing the distractions in the of Sum
ter which he bombarded over Wagner and Gregg.
Different correspondents give different stories relative
to the kind of guns used Morris Island but as the
hundred pound Parrot is the which they all agree
been most generally brought into requsition conne
remarks to that giving the weight Of It's shot and she'll
and the distance it will carry at different elevations
To give proper idea, however of the vast improve
mens recently made in artillery, it may not be amss here
to give the ranges OF the guns general until date
but shortly anterior to the beginning of the present war;
The extreme average at FIVE degrees elevation Of
twelve FOUNDERS 200 yards of eighteen Founders
$50 yards; and Of twenty four Founders, 765 Yards
elevation, carried 1000 yards; eighteen FOUNDERS 100
yards fory-two FOUNDERS, $50 yards and sxtyelght
FOUNDERS 1920 yards These were the exteme ranges
but OF these guns effective for preaching pur
poses only at much less distance.
The hundred pound PARROT is usually discharged
with what is known as service charge of ten pounds
of No powder, and is rarely elevated to more than
tbrtyfve degrees The proectiles discharged the
long shell, weighing hundred and pounds, the
solid shot weighing little ninety pounds and
the short shell and hollow shot each weighing eighty pounds
and the length Of fuse is of course graduated to suit the
distance from the gun to the object of attack ranging in
time of exhaustion from four and one-half seconds to hr
ty-six and three-quarter seconds.
The following table will better than any other
means of description to give the interesting facts wish
to convey to our readers:
