NEW DANGER TO IRoNCLADs.

A new DANCE, to iponolads has Just been
made known. The Russian ship, Peter the
Great, during Ave days cruise IN the
Baltic. has been found anything but tight;
indeed more like an iron oullender than .
ssa-goipg ship. The strange phenomenon
has been inquired into, and the conclusion
is that the ships plates have been rendered
porous, her cylinders cracked, and her ma
chinery fractured by the discharge OF her
thirty-fve ton gun during severe frost
The vessel lay at Cronstadt, where the oa-
rometer last winter sank occasionally to
70 degrees below zero; during this season
the crews were exercised at the gun during
the frost. It is known that extreme fros'
has singular and powerful effect on iron;
and Il is believed that the disastrous con-
d;tion of this fine vessel is due solely to the
aaects of the conclusions caused by CUR
exercise when such frost existed INF
| is new experience, and the Russians VIII
probably in future be chary Of gun practlc'
IN board their ironolads during the extreme
frosts Of Cronstadt.
