LAUNCH OP IRON-CLAD mama POR THE
QU OF SPAIN AND KING OP ITALY.

On Saturday the Thames Iron Works Company
pat a DOW kingdom on their list by 'annelid a
magnificent iron-clad frigate for the Queen of Spain.
The Victoria, so called as • compliment to our own
severely, is a beannfal model in which the object of the
essetrustars was to combine, is fee as possible, the speed
and psesful outline of the Warrior with the solidity and
resisting powers of the Minotaur. Her length between the
perpendiculars is 316 feet, her keel (for tonosp) 282 ;
breadth 57, and depth of hold 38 feet. Her burthwn in
tow is 4,862 toss and a fraction ; her armament, 30 guns
of large calibre ; and her engines, which were made by
Fenn and Co., of 1,000-horse nominal power. Beside such
dimensions our Spanish friends cos only remember their
once world's wonders, their San Sonde sod their &onetime
Triaidadas, as were pigmies, and confer as • metier
of fact, that the Victoria, when properly armed, would
sink a whole Sleet of such ships in a few hours. She bar
been about two years in construe:Aloe, and when she de•
waded majestically into "her native element" on Saturday
list, her splendid lines and pascal symmetry of appearance
were the objects of general admiration.
The launch was witnessed by a most distinguished cony
pany. Thera were the Duke and Duchess de Montpensier,
the two Infant's of Spain, Amelia sad Christina, the Prise
de Joinville, the Count de Paris, Marquis de Molls.
(Spanish ambassador at the wart of St. James's), Admire
Mantes, the Count de Torres Dios, Genus! Sir Andrew
Waugh, Admiral Hall, the Chevalier Marietta, Mr. Bolt
(chairman of the company), Captain Ford (formerly of the
Ottoman navy and now general manager of the works),
and a 'amber of Turkish notabilities, whose interest
in what they mw wee very much enhanced by the fact
that a monster ironclad, defended ;with 10 inch plates,
is about immediately to be laid down on the slip just
( mailed by the Victoria for their government.

On Saturday also, a lugs company, ooroprisiog most of the
principal Italian gentlemen in Loudon, was invited by the
directors of the Mil Leah Ironworks sad 13111pbuibliag Com-
pany to witness the launch of the ironclad cupola frigate
Affondatore. The launch wed of successfully amidst the
ohms of hundreds of spectator', the huge fabric gliding
' pseaully into the water almost immediately after the for
ahem were knocked away. The ceremony of naming the
vessel was performed by the Marches di San Germano, in
the proem* of Sir .1. Hay, K.C.8., Baron Iferochetti,
Count Maffei, the Marquis of BRIM, the Marquis of San
Germano, and a large and diatiagaisbed company.
The Affoodators is 298 feet in length, 40 feet in
breadth, and 18 feet 4 inches in depth. Builder's tonnage,
2,306 toes, 700 horse power nominaL As her name (The
Sinker) implies, she is built with a powerful swan neck-
shaped dem, which will, should she ever come into notion,
be tonal', be • formidable enemy in eloss quarters. She
is fitted with two turrets, one at each end of the vessel,
which are provided with ono 10-ten gun each, and are upon
Captain Coles' principle, that portion of them standing
above the upper deck being protected by armour plating 5i
Isobel thick.
