RIFILES AND CARTRIDGES.

Interesting Letter From Captain

Whitney

(BY TELEGRAPH.— OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Wanga'nui, this day. In a letter received by the Hon. J. Ballanc e Captain Whitney,of the ammunition factory at Auckland, who is how in England, says :—" I have the honour tb inform you that, having visited all the principal cart, ridge factories in America, wilfi a view to imprbvitig our colonial manufacture, I have come to the conclusion that we cannot do better than adopt the machinery now in use at the Royal gun factories, ufc Woolwich Arsenal. These machines are all manufac tured by Greenwood and Butley, of Leeds, for the Government, and you will be glad to hear that they have entered into partner ship with us, and are under contract to supply all the machinery we may require from tiriie to time. A larpre number of machines are already in hand, and are to be delivered before the end of the year. My son has informed me that no less than seven kinds of Snider rifles, all taking various sized cartridges, are found to be in use in New Zealand, and under these circum stances I am advised by experts in cart ridge manufacture that a solid drawn brass case with boxer, base will be most suitable, and have provided a machine for that pur ple. It is the intention of the firm to open a branch factory in Victoria if our terms are agreed to, which seems most likely to be the case,. Will you permit me to advise a few months' delay before order ing arty fresh rifles ? The Lee, which is sent out for trial, is the 'favoured action, but bullet and cartridge are still undecided. The Hotclikiss is the same action. All agree that it -will be a small bore and the1 Paibin bullet which iscoated with senrie kind of mefcal bo prevent fouling in rapid firing. Copper is against the Convention of Mice, nickel is very hard to work, and aluminum is on trial, but I think steel will carry the day, its only drawback being the possibility of rust. Sir Henry Halford, the President of the Small Arms Committee appointed by tlie Government to report on the rifles, etc., now under consideration for adoption in the British service, informed me thab yon might take, it for granted that the cartridge of the future , will be 30- 3 or 30*/ — nofc larger—and consequently that eleven will only be the weight of five of the present cartridges in use, and the bulk even smaller in proportion. The manufacture will be a little more expensive, but the results are so extraordinary—be ydnd anything iri use—that this is a minor consideration. I hoped to'have been back in New Zealand before fchi?, but caniiot be home now until Christmas." ■

Social, and Religious matters of Provincial ar Colonial importance. As each year the contents are re-written, and the statistical information brought up to th e latest date, the Annual Volume becomes a valu able Work of Reference worthy of a permanent place in every Colonist's library. This valuable publication being designed to j further the prosperity of Auckland, the price charged is merely nominal. As the Book has now become a work of daily reference in thehome of every settler throughout the province, and is in use in a'l public offices in the colony and in many leading places abroad, it may with conlldence be described as the best permanent Medium of Advertising of fered to business men. The work will be issued at the old price— ONE SHILLING.

I believe you are aVvare I have suffered considerably from injury to thestomach from tea-tasting, and having consulted my medical adviser, lie strongly rerommended Porridge for breakfast, whicli I have taken until I heard of your Patent Porridge Meal. I may here say the Oatmeal soon caused liriplea santhess, sourness of the stoniaeh, and pimples and spots, with irritation, on the surface of the body. From, this I was glad to got away, and at. once took to youc Patent Porridge Meal. With it I find none of the irregularities com plained of above, but a most palatable Porridge, and the whole system free from unpleasantness or irritation. I can strongly recommend it. and certainly think you shoiild do a large trade in such an excellent article.—Yours very truly, (Sisned) FREDK. VVHITEHEAD. Industrial School, Kohimarama, Auckland.

I may add otfniy representing, to tho Education Department in Wellington that I was using your Patent Por ridge Meal instead of Oatnseal, I received authority from Rev.
