SPAIN.

Our Madrid letters of the 30th ult. state that great
preparations were making to celebrate the anniver-
saries of the conclusion of the treaty of Bergara, and
of the revolution of the Ist of September. Orders
have been forwarded to all the civil and military au-
thorities to arrest General Ramon Narvaez, who
was believed to have entered Spain on the side
of Gibraltar. The Government felt somewhat
alarmed at the recent acts of insubordination in
different corps of the army. and was devising
means of preventing their recurrence. M. Campazano
had published a pamphlet entitled " Peninsular Union,"
in which he proposes a junction of commercial interests
between Spain and Portugal similar to that established
between the di&rent States of Germany.

A very early instance of extraordinary attention to the
preservation of the bottom of a vessel appeared in a gal-
ley, supposed to have belonged to the Emperor Trajan,
A.D. 98 to A.D. 117, which was found in the fifteenth
century, in the Lago Riccio, in the kingdom of Naples,
and was weighed, after it had probably remained more
than thirteen hundred years under water ; it was doubly
planked with pine and cypress, coated with pitch, upon
which there was a covering of linen, and, over all, a
sheathing of lead, fastened with nails of brass or copper;
the timber was in a perfectly sound state. In the reign
of Henry VIII. large vessels had a coating of loose ani-
mal hair attached with pitch, over which a sheathing
board, of abort an inch in thickness, was fastened, " to
keep the hair in its place."—Athenceum.
