The steamer Drayton Grange, which arrived at Sydney a week ago from London, landed three spare guns at the Naval Depot at Garden Island. One was a 9.2 in gun, of exactly the same pattern as the two big guns of H.M.S. Eurvalus, the new flagship on the Australian station. It weighs 27 tons 9cwt, 2qr and 21b, and is valued at £6650. The other guns are 6in, of the value of . £2050 each, and their weight is given as 7 tons sswt, It is the custom in the navy to store a certain number of spare guns to replace any which may from any cause become disabled. The new vessels recently placed on the Australian station arc provided with euns of a different type to those recently stored in Sydney, and it therefore became neoessary to send duplicates of the new guns.
