NEW VIDNIELS LONOEI THAN THE LEVIATHAN.
—While public attention has been attracted so atrongly by
the untsual Obsessions of the Leviathan that the name of
that mewl is in everybody's mouth, it happens singularly
enough that two maids of greater length, and of a more re-
markable character, ham been advancing to completion in
Liverpool without the general public being even oognisant of
their exiles& These vessels are each 700 feet long. They
have been constructed by Yemen Vernon and Son, for the
Oneida Inland Steam Compaq, and are intended for the
of the Indian rivers. The piir.of their
bp features of osietructioe, is to enable • cargo to
earned at • good rate of speed upon • light drought of
water. The great rivers of India, though penetrating far
into the and though containing large volumes of
water, are, aip;sethelass, shallow during the dry season.
The vessels navigating them must, therefore, float very
light, and yet they must have displacement enough to carry
• good cargo. They must have strength enough not to stiffer
bjmy If they should get aground, sad they must present
wok Me resistance to the water as to be able to achieve a
saddsokry rate of progress against the stream. All three
isdiestkas are admirably fulfilled in three vessels.—Limr-
peel Altiess.__

THERE MEN DEOWNED.—Another of the many
instances of bee et lib at ma, as the fishing-beats of these
northern shores, aeourred nest the island of Weatray,
Orkney, an Wednesday le r, and resulted in the drowning of
ens preiebbg young mss. The day wee one of great
inflamer and beery, tempted by which the young men re-
ferred to proceeded to the nabs &him, to • well-known
fisiffergromea. Ito supposed that, having been successful
in the firing, they promored it with senseinese, that they
were unobservaitt of the proems the boat wee making to-
wel* • dangerous cement known as the Bore," into
which she was drawn, and Wen the unforttoiate mew bad
time to pull out of the Mime, the little boat was filled with
water, Nod went down with a as board.—Neerrew Brisige.
NARROW ESCAPE OP TWO CULLESCOATS FISH-
-I.IIO.BOATS.—TTNWIOIITH MAY 19.—A few days ago,
about twisty fishing-boat; belinging to Cullermets wars
coming over the bar, • heavy site ems as, with the wind
hos the N.N.B. blowing fresh; but the MB van so high that
two fishing bore were struck with it en thkbg the bar, and
wen es nearly as panels berg arr. The lifeboat of the
Royal National We Boat Institution at Culkroosts was in
fir minutes in the weer, sad instantly proceeded to the bar
to be in readiness to reader what easistance might be required
of her. Fortunately bee servies• were not needed, as the
lain bobs, with their MOM of men, emended In maohieg
the shore in lafirty. The presser of the lifeboat on such
dangerous occasions besmear the confides's of the fisher-
men,whe are inspired manfully to contend with the elecoanto,
and dins they often snowed, without accident in bringing
their craft intopoet A few months ago, daring a heavy
gale of wind, this excellent lifeboat went off on the same
Weeks to about thirty fishing boats.
