private foot soldier. About, four years ago, Lord Hardinge accepted the gratuitous services of Mr. Whitworth, whose workmanship as a mechanist is acknowledged to be unsurpassed in Europe, to ascertain what improvements might be effected in tho manufacture or the construction of tlie rifle. At that time, it was deemed first rate wormanship in their construction if thc deviations from the mechanical accuracy of tho barrel did not excecd one iu three hundred. Mr. Whitworth achieved the result, that at thc expense of about a shilling each thc deviation from accuracy might be reduced to onc in ten thousand. But he very early improved the construction. Previously, the best shooting from fixed rests with thc rifle, abroad as well at home, had given an average of shots within a a circle of twen-ty-eight inches in diameter at five hundred feet of distance. Upon numerous trials, thc improved rifle gave an average of eliota within a circle of four inches at this same distance. On previous very early trials, tlie advantage of the old rifle over the Brown Beu" was more than

Before the new small arms the whole of our field artillery, in its present shape, and cavalry too, as at present organized, is doomed to disappear.
