mechanic, who has been employed for two years in the Con-
federate navy department, in the construction of ironclad
vessels, states there are two vessels at Wilmington, North
Carolina, ready to run the blockade. They carry 24-
pounders, and are covered with 4 inch iron. Each vessel
carries 4 guns. There are also two vessels at Kingston,
North Carolina. One of them is named the Moose..
She carries 24$pounders, and is to be commanded
by Captain T. F. Lloyd, of the Confederate States Navy.

which no officer has been appointed as yet. Both these ves
eels are clad with iron four inches thick, and each carries
four guns, 24 pounders. There is one ironclad building at
Plymouth, North Carolina. Her armour is 12 inches int
thickness, and she is to be ready for sea in two months.
She is to carry 12 pounder guns, and will be named the
Albemarle. This German also reports a new gunbod
getting ready in Richmond, which will be coated with
4-inch plates. One singular feature about the armament
of those vessels is, that not one of them carries guns of
a heavier calibre than 24 pounders.
WASP STINGS.—A correspondent of the Derby,'
shire Courier (Mr J. Parker, of Barlbro') writes :—" I see
from a paragraph in your paper that a Kent farmer died
from the effects of a wasp sting. It eannot be too widely
known that turpentine applied to the place where a wasp
has stung will reduce the swelling immediately. If the
sting be in the mouth or throat, some turpentine should be
swallowed, and the effect produced will be almost install.
