Important Artillery Experiments at
NhOaburyIleEs. -t

AT Shoeburyness, on the 9th inst, the
artillery experiments were of an importance
scarcely equalied upon any previous oeea-
sion. A target exactly representing the
French Iron-clads was fred at. The plates
were English, made of the finest quality,
and with French screws on a new princi-
pie, superior to any yet applied in this
country. The 6s-pounder pierced the up
per plates (4k inches) but not the backing.
Two shots, however, from the Armstrong
gun went through the plating, and nearly
five feetiof solid timber, damaging, also,
the iron target behind. An Armstrong
shell drove the six inch plates in the lower
part of the target ssunder, and went com
pletely through, causing great destruction.
The experiment was considered conclusive
as to the power of guns against wooden
vessels clad with iron, and as demonstrat-
ing strongly that no sea-going vessel can
carry armour which can withstand such
tremendous missiles as was yesterday en-
employed

an empty coal car at the mouth of the Com
panys mines, above the railroad bridge at
Johnstown, and pulling the "lock-stick'
out of the wheels, started it and allowed it
to run at viii, which it did with great We
locity down the grade. In front of the
coal-ofRce was standing train of loaded
cars, into which the descending car rushed
with full force. The result was the smash
ing Of the car and the serious injury of the
boys-oneof of whom had his breast terribly
smashed, another an eye punched out a
third an arm broken, and fourth a foot
smashed. Another was thrown over an
embankment into the river, but escaped
