Sir Joseph Whitworth has now invented, ye
are told, field gun, better than either the new
nine:pounder Or the new si1teen-pounder, Of
which the English press hes lately told US so
much. This latest cannon is made Of compressed
steel: It is strong enough to bear twice the
usual charge Of powder. At 100 yards, with q
charge OF two pounds and three quarters, it can
put a nine-pouhd bolt through a three-inch
armorplate set at an angle Of forty-ive degrees; !;
and, finally, this extraordinary wesponwiu throw
pIojectIe over clean space Of six miles.
The way IN which the strength requisite to
get these results has been obtained is one, We
think, which will prove important to other
merchandising, besides the makers of artillery.
The new Whitworth gun is, as we have said,
made Of steel, and, although no exact descrip-
ton Of its manufacture is st hand We take it
Tor granted that it is constructed OF laminae Of
twisted cylinders. By all the processes hither-
to, steel has been more or less defective, and
We suspect it is not made quite perfect BY the
ne" one. In each Of the methods, tho Besse-
mer included, air passes through iron, thus en-
dow1ng the latter With the carbon, whose addi-
ton makes the difference between iron and
steel: Now greater or less portion Of this air
remains IN the substance, and occasions holes
and laws. These, OF course, weaken the steel
and make it liable to break up. Sir Joseph Whit
worth has met this difficulty BY new device.

are reported to have been distributed in bis
name among the 1aboring men in the uptown
wards. The enthusiasm for O'Brien on the East
Side has occasioned the report that a precon-
certed attack will be made on the Hayemever
boxes tomorrow.
The rumor spread to-day that Havemeyer had
withdrawn, and was the theme Of universal re-
mark, but it has proved entirely unfounded.
Tammany Hall WAS crowded with politicians,
who exhibited much enthusiasm for Lawrence.
Its challengers have been instructed to keep q
close watch upon the ranks Of O'Brien, as it is
reported fraud will be attempted in his interest
on q large scale.
In betting O'Brien is the favorite, with Have
hind.
The Presidential question seems to excite
little interest, but the struggle for Governor
promises to be bitter, as certain followers Of
Apollo Hall, who have renowned Tammany, are
unwilling to vote for Dix.
Rumor says KEENAN, tickets will be run out of
all the Apollo Hall boxes tomorrow. Betting,
however, is nearly two to one on Dix.
Marshal Sharpe has instructed his chief depp-
ties to inquire calmly into all cases Of arrest

From the London Daily Aetc8.
The public is probably not aware that Of the
present Colonels in Her Majesty's regiments at
feast eighteen we're st Waterloo. But the histo-
r. of the service Of many Of them does not begin
here. We are accustomed to look back upon
Quatre Bras and Waterloo as the ecene of the
exploits Of our oldest veterans and the interest
occasioned by the discovery Of another ss Water
loo hero ~ in some little village testifes
to the regard which the county has for
those who fought tor it in the old time. When
ne look at this semi-biographical lists OF
Colonels, however, We must begin with an earlier
date. We get back to the stirring scenes Of
Badaioz, Of Vittoria Of Ciudad Rodrigo. We
ind Officers, who, like General Fitzgerald, had
their first commissions in 1888, just after the
first coalition against France had been declared.
If the battles Of the Nile, Of Copenhagen, and of
Trafalgar, could, by any means have been
we should have, indeed, no
BILE record Of one period OF our national career;
but even as they stand, the exploits OF our army
are as numerous as they are varied in scene.
Take, for example, the case OF the Colonel Of
the First Dragoon Guards, General Sir Jam es
Jackson, who received his first commission in
1906 He served in the Peninsular War from
1909 to 1914, and was present at the battles Of
Busaco, Fuentes donor, Badajoz, Ciudad

Spanish finances, like most other Spanish
things, are in bad way. The hard facts Of the
case are that there is floating debt OF S84 000,-
600 which no government since the revolution
has shown its ability to deal with, and there is
deficit IN the revenue this year Of s2o, 1000 1000
The last Finance Minister but one, Senior A1,gu-
10, could think Of no better mode Of making
ends meet than clapping ta1 OF IS per cent On
the interest Of that portion Of the debt held bY
foreign creditors, but this met with no accept
ance at home, and abroad Was treated as an
attempt at robbery. His successor, Senior
esae cs%aeho proposed t%s to pay II pr
cash and give bonds for the remainder at the
market price Of Spanish securities, and the
foreign creditors received this proposition "a
vorably, but the Cortes did not even consider it,
The present Minister, Senior Gomez, now pro-
poses an ingenious kind Of loan, the leading fen-
tnre Of which is the payment Of two-thirds Of
the interest due to the holders Of certain classes
of the public debt in money, and the other third
in Government bonds during the next five years,
and loan Of 91o, ,50o, 900, the interest Of which
Is to be paid in the same way, to be negotiated
By the Bank Of Paris and OF the Netherlands
This plan is now coming before the Cortes
Senior Gomez estimates the expenditure of tho
coming year at 1885,, SOC, 1000, and the revenue at
3272, ,500, 900.
