The British Ocean Postal Service.

London IHe.cs, 0et Is.
The Postmastes-Gencral has issned circulak
to the steamship companies engaged In the
transatlantic trade, which Is OF importance and
mated that the contract for carrying the mails
between the United States aud Great Britain
which expires In December next will not be re-
newed, and that the service will be conducted
after the 1st Ut January on the same principles
Us that followed by the Postmaster-Geueral Of
the United States Each steamship company
will be invited on the first Of each mouth to
send in list Of their proposed sailings, naming
the port OF departure and arrival, with copj OF
the log for each OF their three previous voyages
made by the steamers they propose to
eral will make bis selection. and the
rates OF remuneration will ba the same IS are
now paid by the United States Government.
These payments viii average, We understand,
something like 800 3 voyage. The subsidies at
present paid under the existing contracts amount
to El10,6OO year. 4 considerable saving will
therefore be Effected, but there Ia difficulty III
carrying out the proposed scheme which has yet
to be adjusted. Steamers carrying the outward
mails have to submit to = detention ut Queens-
town which will average some seven or e:gat
hours, and It is just question whether the irst-
class lines which now make the voyage TO Amer
len with so much speed and regularity will con-
siler It worth while for the sake Of IN odd
hundred pounds now aud again to submit to
this detention. The difficulty does not arise on
the Inward 7oy2ge, so that the analogy OF the
arrangement which exists with the United
States Government, and which Is referred to hy
the Postmaster-General in his drculnr, ia not e.
together perfect. A detention at Queenstown

TIE ITALIAN 10O-TON GUN.
How tho Largest Cannon In the World Is
Operated.

Operated.
co,,esro1denc. London Times
sPEz1A, italy, Oct. 23.-Not one moment TOO
tao soon have We made our English eighty-one
ton euus, and even now the Italians arc more
than abreast of us, for they have launched one
shin. the Du;lio. prepared for 100-ton guns, and
another, the paulolo, is in course Of construc-
ton at Spczia. One sample gun has been sup
nlici by Sir William Armstrong & Co., seven
more are in the various stages Of completion at
TIEwick. The Duilio and Dandolo will each
carry four Of these guns in turrcts, and become
the most powerfully armed ships In the world
for the tilne-being .....
The problem set before Sir W. Armstrong and
his partners br the italian Government was to
build gun, with all it's appurtenanccs, capable
throwing 2,OOO-poupd shot with such velocity,
rs would enable 1t to strike M ironc1ad with .
fnrce of 400 foot tons Der inch Of the shots cir
c,f,yensc ~ This wod neelonly an initial We
1ocity OF about 1850 feet second, and there
ran he no doubt that such velocity will easily
BE- attained, and eren considerably more: for,
siuce Bile rl1n was designed. experiments have
shown that the noEer of apy existing gun can
be increased by e;,larging tile powder-chamber,
and there is no reason why the 100-ton gun
shoul.l he IN exception to Tie rule However,
the actual bargain has first to be fulfilled, and
we shall now see what means have
been taken to produce force
tons through the space Of ono foot: Let ns take
stands The gun itself Until quite lately a great
difficulty stood In the way Of artillcrists. In
turret, the piece must be short; but short guns
do not retain the proje-tilc long enough to re-
ce;yc the full effect of tic powder Charge The
velocity Was, therefore, lower than ought to be
given in proportion to the charge and conse-
quent strain On the interior Of the gun. To
Elswick tirm-Mr Reudel- invented a method

tried to make bargain With the guard, who
was alone, for the sale OF his watch. They
came to au agreement, but the guard had to
take back Auhlfn to his house. quarter Of a
league from the place, in order to get the u
francs he had agreed to give him. By u singular
coincidence Aublin returned towards midday in
this way to the very place where the work

gendarmes were at the very time e1amin-
ing the spot where the body Of Meers had been
picket. up. It was not known at the time that
II prisoner had escaped. The salc Of the watch,
however, gave rise to suspicion. Aublin pro.
tested, IN the most emphatic manner, that It
was not stolen property. He received the III,

description given BY the persons who

On Saturday and Sunday the police examined
