No WAY OF " ASTONISHING" " DANDIES."—When
the professor of Architecture at the Royal Academy was
present iu Scotland on the occasion of laying the foundation
of the National Monument, he was particularly struck with
the indifference of the assembled dandies to the three great
atones employed, each weighing two tons or more : it created
no interest with them ; they had no minds capable of appre-
ciating the large masses used by the Greeks in their glorious
erections.—Budder.

AN IRON -MASTED VESSEL.--The Olivier Van
Noord, a Dutch East Indiaman, Captain Kicoyt, lying in the
Salt-house Dock, Liverpool, has her lower masts constructed
of iron-plates formed into cylinders, and firmly rivetted
to-
gether. Inside, at various intervals, are cross-bars to main-
tain. the shape of the cylinders, and to
.prevent bulging or
outer injury.
