on Wednesday, the floating Free Church. built by Messrs. John
Reid and Co., in their yard at the Glen, Port Glasgow, was launched
into the river, and as this species of marine architecture is consider-
ably clifirent from that which we frequently record as " gliding

vessel-church, and through the kindness of the builders every fact-
