TWENTY mortars which were manufactured in the Arsenal at Nanking have, according to the Peking Gazette, been supplied to the Kiangnan Defence Office, and distributed among the forts on the banks of the Yangtze. The Nanking Viceroy reports that arrangements have been made for ensuring that proper care is taken of these important weapons; but it will further be necessary that the men who have to handle them are properly practised in using them, in order that, when the time for action may come, they may be able to aim them correctly and adjust them for the proper distances. But it takes some tens of men to work the pieces, and if a slight mistake should be made, the consequences would be very serious. It is therefore proposed to expend about Tis.20 a month in hiring an experienced man as gunnery instructor, and to allow $3 for each gun for the cost of bags, oil,
