termination of ihelate war with Russia, a considerable
portion of the orders of_ both the Russian government
and the jointstock companies of the empire, has passed
into the hands of American and French building yards,
yet the extraordinary efforts which have been made since
the peace of Paris, to develop the internal resources of
Russia have created a demand for steam vessels, which

cannot be supplied without the assistance of 'English
skill and labour. There are at the present time, both
on the Thames and at the Northern building yards,
considerable number of vessels building for the. Russian
service, some of them ships
.of war, others private yachts
and steamers for navigating the rivers of the empire.
On Saturday last, a fine iron steam vessel named the.
Delta, built, and filled by Messrs. Samuda, of Millwall,
left the Thames for her destination in Russia, having
previously had several trials of her machinery.—Steciin
