THE ATLAS, being the largest Paper in the kingdom, devotes more space to Debates in Par liament than any other Journal, while it professes to reform the style of Parliamentary Reporting, by a careful colla tion ofother reports, and a laborious revision of the matter. The great size of the ATLAS (being double that of the Timex) enables it to give the fullest reports of the Debates , and the wh o l e News of the Week unmutilated, in addition. The Literary and Critical Departments are also preserved complete. The reviews of New Books, of the Drama, of Music and Musicians, and of the Fine Arts, and the essays on Nociety and passing events, suffer no abridgment, as the Peculiar arrangement of the matter enables the Editor, throughout the Session, to preserve entire all the features of the comprehensive plan of this Journal. The ATLAS combines, in an eminent degree, the lead ing point s of interest of the Quarterly, the Monthly, and the Weekly Press, affording at the same time greater scope than any other Journal to the ordinary and regular topics of a Popular Newspaper.

CHOLERA,MORBUS—ORDER in COUNCIL On the 10th inst., when orders were given to establish quarantine for vessels coming from Riga, Darezic, and other ports in the North of Europe, a certain exception was m tile in favour of steam-boats sailing between Hamburg and London. This excep tion was said, in the Order in Council, to have been made under the impression that these beats carried only passengers, or very small quantities of unenumerated goods. Their Lordships, however, having learnt that those vessels did not limit their trade to the conveyance of small quantities of un enumerated goods, but imported in great quantities other articles, %s hich are enumerated—that is, wool, yarn, hemp, furs, &c. &c.—have withdrawn the favour which was at first extended to them, and placed them under the same laws with respect to quarantine as other trading vessels. In conse quence of this new order, dated Friday, the 17th instant, the William Jollife steam.-boat, coming from Hamburg, which arrived yesterday at Gravesend, has been ordered to proceed to the regular quarantine station. The passengers will,of course, be liable to the samedetention, and the goods to the same precautions as if they had been conveyed in regular sailing vessels. This detention must be a great interruption to anxious travellers and speedy intercourse; but the steam-boats may avoid it by abandoning for a season the profit arising from the conveyance of the enu merated articles. At any rate, while a doubt remains of the contagious nature of the cholera, the public should have the benefit of that doubt by the enforce ment of the strictest rules of quarantine. The dis ease may probably be no more conveyed in a bag of wool or a bundle of flax, titan in a sailor's jacket or in a packet of letters, but this is not the time for re laxing rules which were thought necessary when the eestiler:ce was at a greater distance. It is better that individuals should suffer inconvenience than that the public health should be exposed to the smallest ha zard from a distemper, whose fatal results are better known than its mode of propagation. The following is the Order in Council to which we have teferred " Council-office, Whitehall, June 17. "Sir.,—With reference to my letter of the 10th inst., making a certain exception as to quarantine in favour of steam-boats coming from Hamburg, I am directed by the Lords of his Majesty's Council to state to you, for the in formation of the Commissioners of Customs, that the above exception was made under the impression that these steam-boats carried passengers only, or very small quanti ties of non-enumerated goods ; but their Lordships having been informed that the steam-vessels carry very conside rable quantities of goods of different descriptions, to the injury of the regular sailing traders, I am directed to state the desire of their Lordships that the before-mentioned exceptions in favour of steam-vessels be granted to them only when they have passengers and non-enumerated goods on board, that is, none of the articles mentioned in the following list, viz.—Wool of all kinds, cordage not tarred, yarn of all kinds, down, feathers, flax, furriers' crate, hair of all kinds, hemp, quills, rags, skins, hides, furs (whether dressed or undressed), tow. " I am further directed to state the desire of their Lord ships that the same indulgence be granted to sailing ves sels arriving under similar circumstances from the Hanse atic and other ports in the mouth of the Elba ; but that whe❑ either st. am-vessels vr sailing-vessels arrive from the ports before-menrionsd having any of the articles men tioned in the said list, they be ordered to proceed to the regular quarantine station. " I am, Sir,. your obedient servant, (Signed) " C. C. GREVILLE." " Thomas Whitmore, E*q." The Spanish ladies are not allowed by law to enter the pits of the thea'res, and they consequently affect that they prefer the gall e ry,. which they declare to be the more fashionable part of the house.

Another house in the lawn was also struck with lightning, which came down the chimney, and made its e scape out of the window, breaking all the frames, and damaging the wood work. Providentially no one was in the house place at the time. The oldest inhabitants say they never heard such dread fully loud claps of thunder.

Lord Colchester, arrived at Spithead, on Monday, from Rio Janeiro, last from Falmouth. She sailed from Rio Janeiro on the 13th of April, leaving there his Majesty's ship Warspite, 76, Captain C.

Hon. --- . ...-VValdegrave, (a); and Tribune, 42, cue.. J. A. Duntee, were round Cape Horn. His Majesty's ship Lightning, 18, Commander T. Dickinson, (b) was still at Cape Fri., assisting in raising the specie from the wreck of his Majesty's late ship Thetis, and very sanguine hopes were entertained of the ultimate success of this en terprize. His Majesty's ship Algerine, 10, Commander W. H. Martin, (act.) was up the River Plata. The Vo lage touched at Fayal, on the 29th of May, and sailed again on the fo lowing day. At some distance from the island they descried a squadron of five sail, consisting o f two brigs and three schooners, standing in for Fayal. The Volage arrived at Falmouth on the 9th instant, and having landed her despatches, immediately sailed for Cher bourg, to disembark Don Pedro and suite, who, amounting in all to thirty-eight, came passengers in her. On the re volution occurring at South America, the French and British men-of-war manned and armed their boats, and were prepared to land if Don Pedro should require it, in conjunction with the Portuguese and the Austrian Coimel Swanbaaks, the latter of whom waited on the Emperor and offered to re-assemble his disbanded Austrian regiment, to put down the revolution and restore order. The Emperor, however, declined the offers, and seemed perfectly contented at being allowed to leave Brazils quietly with his family and treasures. The Emperor desired t' at no Englishme n should come on shore armed under any pretext whatever. On the 12th the boats of the Warspite and French ship went in and conveyed Don Pedro and his followers on board the Warspite, where having expressed a wish to be conveyed to Brest, orders were instantly giving to tit the Wage and Cyrene fur his reception. On the 10th inst., the ships being ready, they sailed from Rio for Europe. The Emperor on his passage home was very polite and affable, and in constant conversation with the efficers on deck. Ho enjoyed the voyage very much, and never felt or expressed the least regret at his downfal, if it may be so called. During the passage be frequently brought his gun upon deck and amused himself with shooting Mother Ca rev's chickens, and other s• , a birds. On the Volage arriving at Cherbourg, the officers of the ship were presented with magnificent gold snuff boxes, on which occasion, in reply to a request from the officers, the Emperor wrote the fol lowing in Portuguese, and presented to them : " The Officers of his Majesty's ship Volage, to whom I had the pleasure of presenting a gold snuff-box, as a trifling mark of my gratitude for their attention to my family and suite during the passage, having expressed a desire to have my armorial bearings engraved upon the same, it is with the very greatest pleasure that I comply with their request. " DON PEDRO DE ALCANTA RA BRAGANZA ET BOURBON The crew also received a handsome present of money from Don Pedro. When the Ex-Emperor left the ship at Cherbourg, a salute was fired, the yards were manned, and three cheers were given by the crew ; he was con ducted on shore in the French state barge, and on lauding was again saluted from the Volage and the batteries. The Prefect and troops of Cherbourg were in readiness to re ceive him with due honours and conduct him to the Go vernor's house, which had been prepared for him during his stay, and which it was expected would be about a week. He was ping on the following Tuesday, in com pany with the Prefect of Cherbourg, to a grand stag hunt, to which the officers of the Volage were invited. The amount .of treasure taken by the Ex-Emperor is not known, as he never mentioned it in any way. As the destination of the Volage was altered from Brest to Cher bourg, Don Pedro had sent one of his household to Brest, to wait the zariv.rl of the Cyrene, and to conduct Donna Maria and her suite to him at Cherbourg, when he would depart for Munich. The following passengers came to Engl mud in the Volage, from Rio. in the suite of the Ex- Emperor, and were landed at this port:--Colonel John Carlos Partial, and Colonel Henri Plasson, the former a Portuguese, and the latter a French officer. The Volage is ordered to refit at Spithead with all prac!icable expedi tion, for the purpose of returning to the South American station with as little delay as possible.

We by no means intend to convey an idea that the naval administration of this country are bound to adopt ttar even to lis•en to every plan which may be suggested as in improvement in the building or fitting of our ships of war, but we do think that the difficulties of bringing one's views under the con.bleration of the Admiralty ought in some degree to he diminished, and every facility given to encourage the developement of plans, some of which, at any rate, may be likely to prove beneficial to the service. Some interesting remarks on the advantages of these ad mirable gun-carriages, will be found, in another place, in our paper of to-day. A splendid entertainment was given on board his Ma jesty's ship Caledonia, at Spitheatl, on Thursday, by Vice-Admiral Sir Edward and Lady Codrington, to a numerous assemhlage of Naval and Military officers. Among the company present were Major-General Sir ' Colin. Campbell, our Lieut.-Governor, and family; Vice- Admiral Sir John, lady, and the Misses Gore; Rear- Admiral Parker, his lady, and family; Lord Yarborough; Commissioner Sir Michael Seymour and family; Colonel Warr; Capt. Lawrence, R.M. and his lady; all the Captains and Commanders of the various ships and vessels at this port, with - .their ladies and families; besides many others with whose names we are unacquainted. All the officers of the Caledonia were also expressly in vited. The company began to assemble at eight, and by nine they had. all arrived, to the number of one hundred and fifty and upwards, the Malmesbury steamer having been engaged to ply to and fro for the accom modation of the guests. Dancing commenced about nine o'clock, and at laalf-past twelve the company sat down to an elegaut supper laid out in the Admiral's cabin on three tears; after which dancing was restuned with re newed spirit. Sir Edward and Lady Codrington vied. with each other in their urbanity and polite attention to all, but more particularly to the young gentlemen, in providing them with partners and endeavouring to make them as happy as possible. The quarter. ck was fitted up with gteat e;egance with flags, lamps, &c. and the hand of the Caledonia played curing the evening several of their favourite pieces. The party separited at a late hour, much gratified at the hospitality and courteous attentions of their worthy host and hostess. Tie supper was supplied by Mr. Guy, and was highly credi! - atile to his taste. PICTURE OF THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE INSTITUTION OF THE SCHOOL. It is with feelings of high gr.rtification that we find that a Society, founded for the exercise of the most exalted benevolence, flourishing under the im mediate auspices of his Majesty, patronised by indi viduals of rank and property, and including a large body of one of the most respectable and opulent classes of tradesmen, has at length been selected as the subject of piczorial representation; and while we are aware that it is a distinction to which etre noble object of the Society - entitled it, we are also sensible of the honour conferred in the adoption. Having been very lately favoured, by the liberal proprietor, with a private view of the painting to sYllich we allude, we hasten to give it that due con sideration which its peculiar claims upon our atten tion demand. Our paper is not, perhaps, more en tirely devoted to the interests of the " Licensed Victuallers," than this picture is to the commemo ration of their most honourable feelings. It is • theirs, exclusively theirs. The picture is painted upon a sufficiently large scale to admit of an immense number of figures, of size suffi cient to give the particulars of character, expres sion, attitude, and• costume. The scene is ar- . , ranged with an eye to the picturesque, and the time chosee is after the removal of the more suh stantial portions of the entertainment. The joints, fowls, pies, and puddings, the roast and boiled, pickled and preserved, have been cleared away by the active hands of the waiters, and the brisk and cheering bottle is in rapid circulation ; the punch bowl, with its tempting ingredients has made its lordly appearance, and the generous Port, Burgundy, and Madeira, sparkle in " the very best flint." The snowy pipe and the fragrant Havannah, occupy fingers lately busied with.the knife and foil:; while, to be poetical, " the fair" mingle with " the brave," and upon every countenance beams an air of social cordiality, increased by the consciousness of doing good to the friendless and fatherless. A spacious booth, surmounted by the British flag, and ornamented with laurel, forms a principal feature in the composition; a crown and star, with the initials of the Licensed Victuallers in coloured lamps, and festoons of the same, intended for the evening illumination, adorn the front, and beneath this extensive room of canvass, four tables, run ning the whole length of the place, are seen ciowded with the members and friends of the Society. 'Beyond these appear the alcoves, or summer-houses, some thronged with revellers, and animated by the presence of many of the blooming visitors, who with their husbands and friends, are making a plea. sant tour of the grounds. Passing from the right of the spectator in front of the booth, the procession of the children, beaded by a grand military band, and escorted by a number of the Stewards, the girls in their simple white tippets and pink frocks, with their straw bonnets in their hands, and the boys, decorated with prize medals, and neatly attired, presented a delight ful subject of contemplation to the minds of the be nevolent. Blue standards, inscribed, " Licensed Victuallers' School, Instituted 1803," are borne in the procession, and explain its nature. In the fore ground, to the left, several figures are assembled at a table, enjoying the festive pipe and glassi a gentle mao in a blue coat and buff waistcoat, of whose features we fancy we have some remembrance, with spectacles in hand, is addresiing another, also familiar to our recollection, .stho, seated at the end of the board, with his cigar and newss paper, turns round to listen to the speaker. (hr the left of the aforesaid list?.ner is a gallant personage in brown, rn:•;mmending a glass • of the " genuine old crusted" to his good lady, who attired in a dress of pale primrose, a blue sh:t.wl, and white silk hat, smiles a suitable acknowledgment for the attention ; while a sturdy little fellow, of some ten or twelve years of age, is, with much wisdom, eagerly availing himself of " the present moment" to enjoy the "juice of the grape." Behind, appear sundry fair ones," with their " beats' • in attendance; and beyond these the eye roves through a continua tionassemblage, sauntering, carelessly, es P h P a Y de of the trees. Parasols, scarfs, sh %vls f t happy a bonnets of glittering colours, with the at tractive aspects of thetheyowttees, give brightness t o beneath o the effect. A jovial.looking member of the Society, with a light-brown coat and white waistcoat, hoisting his glass, arid grasping the hand of his unighbour, seems chanting a verse of " Asild lang syne ;" another of portly dignity, with his pipe in his hand, and his decanter before him, welcomes the approach of a waiter with an enormous bowl of punch, A third in a blue sertout, with a book. and pencil beneath his arm, and his " linnipsr" of sherry at hand, is lookina ovc:‘ , his . shoulder; while a fourth, in a white hat, and a bright olive-green coat, replenishes his exhausted glass. A piece of beef, a brace of Iswls, a tongue, a pie, a tureen, and an infinity of plates, dishes, rummers, knives and forks, spoons, ladles, and " dead men," set down in the hurry of removing the 'cloths, 'occupy the left coiner of tire fore-ground. Continuing our survey, we meet with an old bald-headed waiter, in black, extracting the cork from a bottle; near him is one of the Stewards, bearinl his officiakvand, and shaking hands with a gentleman in a brown coat and top boots. More advanced, an elderly personage in black, whom we have possibly seen before, with a white waistcoat and an eye-glass dangling from a and, appears gazing upon the sCene ; arei e hy e beside him a youth of twelve or thirteen is poietird; out the procession to his brother, a little fellow', smartly attired in a large straw hat, and Freischtit4 dress. Advancing towards the right a pedestrian fruit-merchant, in au old blue jacket, with a broken pipe .stuck in his cap, and a. weather-beaten sailor, like visage, is earnestly recommending the contents. of his basket to a gaily dressed trio of ladies, one of whom, in black silk, with a rose-coloured shawl, lace collar, and white bonnet, seems debating on the purchase; near her an old gentleman is administering to his own comfort by lighting his pipe. More in the fore-ground a form or bench is occupied:by-a young man in an olive-green surtoutiwho,..Wi - h a: knowing. look of a " connoisseur," is bolding _Up his glass search of " the bee's wing." A pretty woman, elf" . .. gently dressed in white silk, with an amber shawl, and a lace veil, is sitting near, accepting some straw berries, which are, with _much winning courtesy, presented to her by her " lord and master," _while his friend beside her is joining in commendation of the fruit. Behind them two men in attendance are carrying off a basket of plates, and together with a I urge hamper, a tray, and other accesaries, terminate the composition in the foreground. To the right of the booth, and farming what is technically termed " the middle distance," several animated groups are seen recognizing their little friends among the chil dren in the procession, cheerfully promenading the place, or giving way to convivial enjoyment. Stil l further on, merriment i s s us t a i ne d w i t h great buoyancy of spirit, and some gay revellers have courageously ascended a swing, while others thread the airy mazes of "the waltz' and " the quadrille'-' A host of merrymakers, seen beneath the tall trees to the right, conclude the living portion of the com position, the entire of which is closed in by an in. retesting view of the distant fields and hills. The clear, blue sky of June, broken by a multitude of si!very clouds, throws an air of brightness and har mony over the whole. . Having thus enter e d into an elaborate, and, we believe, accurate descripti on o f t hi s ga y an d busy scene, we must say a few words upon the picture as a work of art. So having curiously dived into the principal grcups (for to enumerate all would be im possible), and having made our passing bow to each, we march off a few paces to take in " the effect," (as the painters call it), and it is not with out great satisfaction that we feel ourselves war ranted in affirming that Mr. Lambert, the artist, his added considerably to his reputation by this produc tion, whfch may justly be considered his chef d'wuvrc• The groups ,were well connected, and arranged with much skill ; the incidents are lively, the cha racters ably contrasted, and the different expressions touched in with considerable power. The colouring is rich, the pencilling firm, delicate, and mellow, and the massei of light and shade are balanced with masterly effect. In conclusion, it gives us extreme pleasure, as the advocates of the Society, to inform its patrons and friends, that an admirable engraving, of important size, is in hands, awl will speedily be published. An i npression, in a forward state, has been shown to us, and we congratulate those to whom the print must form an object of so much gratifying interest, upon the increased publicity thus given to the Institution, and the opportunity which they will shortly possess of ornamenting their rooms with a work of art, with out which their parlour decorations would be in complete. It is but due to Mr. Moore, the spirited proprietor of this painting and the plate, engraved from it, to state that expense has been utterly un heeded in the undertaking; and that to render the whole as perfect as possible, emblematical moulds have been cut expressly . for furnishing the appro priate and elegant devices upon the frame,.represent ing, in burnished and dead gold, a rich and fanciful combination of the vine, the hop, the kidey, arid the wht at,—ilforning Advertiser. LAYINGTHEyIRSTSTONE OF THE NEW HUNGERFORD MARKET. Although many thousand bricks had been set in the underground works of this new edifice, the first stone of the new market was laid only on Saturday. The ceremony was conducted, tinder the direction of Mr. Fowler, in that unostentatious manner which has characterized the whole of the proceedings of this respectable company. Lord Dover, Alex:inder Baring, Esq., 'Milian Courtenay, Esq., the Rev. Dr. Richards, Andrew Macklew, Esq., and other-directors, being assembled, the children of St. Martin's school, under the. three tion of the venerable Vicar, produced a very pleas ing effect by singing the 104th Psalm. After which Dr. Richards, with great devotion, offered up, an appropriate prayer. It v►as now announced by the architect, that the bottle which he was about to deposit in the cavi'y of the stone, purposely prepared, contained the Times newspaper of that day, the Gazette of the previous day, a list of the directors and officers pf the company, and a . sovereign, tw•o sixpences, and two farthings, of the present reign. The bottle. being deposited, and an inscription plate placed over it, Lord DOVER, standing at the south-e::st angle of the building, received the silver trowel, and having spread the mortar, the stone was let down. Ms Lordship having adjusted it with the mallet, and provdd it upright by the plumb-rule and level, fits Lordship, with the following appropriate address, closed the proceedings : " Ladies and Gentlemen,—Allow me to take this op portunity of expressing the pride and pleasure I feel thatit has fallen to my lot to be called upon this day to lay the first atone of the new market. I trust I may congratulate all present on the prospect which is now held out that the great work so auspiciously begun will go on prosper ously, that it will prove a convenience to the public, an ornament to the metropolis, and a source of well-earned profit to the proprietors. Ladies and gentlemen, I will detain you but one moment longer, while I allude to what I am willing to cons der a fortunate coincidence—merely that this day is the anniversary of the glorious battle of Waterloo ; and, as peace has its victories as well as war, I will venture to hope that this circumstance may be re ceived as a good omen of our having at length vanquished all those difficulties which must ever accompany the under - taking 01. new public works. I trust we shall now pro-. eced.with the one whirls we have this day commenced without further interruption or delay to its happy and successful completion." The 6liging of St. Martin's bells, the firing of cannon, and the cheers of the workmen ad►led va riety to the solemn and gratifying proceedings of the day, which will be remembered by all present with much interest and satisfaction, and we trust that the favourable events anticipated, will be fully realised. it is a singular fact, that his Lordship's advance to the Peerage is recorded in the Gazelle which is deposited ha the stone, and that this cetemony was the first public act performed by Lord Dover (the He». George Agar Ellis). SHELL PAVING.--The Corporation of New Orleans has resolved to try the experiment of paving the streets w•iih shells, and the MATon advertises for 100,000 barrels of shells. STANDARD NOVELS.—The fifth Number of this popular collection of English fictions, will consist of Mr. GonwlN's noble tale of " St. Leon," wherein the Author, through a series of incidents unsurpassed in romance, has demonstrated the vanity of many of the restless aspirations of human nature, and " vindicated the ways of God to man." Yestertlayrat one o'clock, three troops of the Bth Royal Irish Hussars embarked on board steamers at the North Wall, for Liverpool, and will thence proceed to Manchester, to take up the quarters of the lOth Hussars, who, it is expected, will return in the same steamers, and replace either of the cavalry regiments in this garrison...—.

June, 1831. " _ _ His Majesty's ship Curacoa, razeed frigate, may be ex pected at Spithead in the course of tke present week, from Chatham. We understand from an officer who has visited this ship at the latter port, that the new 32-pounders are mounted on carriages of the old construction, and that the deck is in consequence much crowded, notwithstanding she carries no guns at the bow. The guns are represented as being very unwieldy, and their form about the muzzle, even less pct feet then the heretofore badly-constructed 32-pounders. The appearance of this non-descript, yclept corvette, has created much interest among the Naval men at Chatham. Mr. G. G. Lode, midshipman .of his Majesty's ship Dublin, was exatnirid - brspechtforder -6n Monday, at the Royal Naval College, and found duly qualified for Lieutenant. The Rev. J. Marshall, chaplain of his Majesty's ship Briton, has been found duly qualified on examination at the College, to perform the duty of schoolmaster, for which be has received an appointment to that ship. Re ir-Admiral Sir Thomas Masterman hardy, Rear-Ad- Miral Sir Thomas Dundas, and the Hon. Captain G. Elliot, C.B. principal secretary of the Admiralty, are ex. pected here this evening. The board will remain in this town Monday and Tuesday on official business, dining with Admiral Sir T. Foley, Commander-in Chief, on Monday. They will return to London on Wednesday. An order, we u nderstand, was yesterday received from the Admiralty, revoking the permission which had been previously given to several Russian gentlemen,•students at this dock-yard, to embark on board the squadron at Spit head, and accompany them to their proposed destination. Olast, four salutes were fired by the follow ing ships on the occasions specified below a Sunday atspithead, Caledonia, on being 'visited by vi s it e d by Earl Denbigh ; by his Majesty's ship Asia , on EBayrlhElisowl‘'elaiietsiytyt'isisslAbliapjesty's ship Prince Regent, on being being visited by Earl Sheffield ; and by his Majesty's ship Barham, on b e ing visited by Viscount Raneleigh. It was erroneously supposed by many that the four salutes were fired in compliment to the same nobleman on his visiting four separate ships , b ut there is an order a g ainst salutin g the same person m ore than once in the da y , even thou g h he s hould go on boa rd fift y shi p s, p rovided suc h ships are within sight de ad ' other The ports of h is Majesty s ship Caledonia, wh e n s h e shall have all her fore i g n stores on board, will not be fi v e ' feet out of water, and even this is four inches more than they were before her thorough repair.

St. Vincent, when she left Spithead, ca rried her ports six feet two inches out of water, which we consider a good medium height, and which, notwit s a „, h t ndine• all that has been said of the superior qu cities of the Caledonia and Prince Regent, renders the St. Vin cent a finer man-of-war than either of them. • Two frigates , on the p lan of Sir Robert Seppings, of _ nearly thirteen hundred tons, to be namad the Ambuscade an d Castor , are now in p ro g ress of buildin g , the former in Woolwich dock- y ard, and the latter at Chatham. They will be armed with 32-pounder guns, carrying twenty-two on the uppee deck of the longest bore, four on the forecastle and ten on the quarter-deck of a medium length. They differ very materially in mould from any f r igate hitherto built in England.

The mast on the old plan consisted of a spindle for its centre, two side fishes, two fore and aft fishes, and two cheeks. The spindle in the centre, in very large toasts, was sometimes made of tv • - ,, pieces. The number of pieces in a mast built on this plan, hoFever, never exceeded eight, Sir R, Seppings's mast consists of a spindle fur its centre in four pieces, the circle being completed by between thirty and forty pieces i n short lengths, dowelled end-ways, the whole firmly bound together by iron hoops. It appears to its, how ever, when we consider the nature of the strain on the m ast, that the joints, from being so numerous, will be ver y liable to open and admit the atmosphere and moisture, which would considerably effect its durability. A three-decker has just been launched at New York, called the Philadelphia. She is said to be 220 feet in l e ngth with b 8 feet breadth of beam. Several large s team-vessels for naval warfare have likewise been launched at the same place ; in fact, the Americans are all activity i n their dock yard establishments. They as well as the French, have already anticipated us in the adoption of Marshall's gun carriages; and here we cannot but regret, that the coolness with which projected improvements press,when nns foreign• i n sta n nationsce s driv too e drives eagerlyu r men o t a f ke talent advantage ofe (and sometimes as in thi s case , o f an itnportant nature) i n our naval depart ment are received in our own country , their .suggestions k nown to the public by means o f the in too the hints thus afforded them, and we have the mortifica tion to see the plans of our countrymen adopted and
