THE NEW EXPERIMENTAL BRIGS. PORTSMOUTH,
APRIL 2.—The Osprey, built by Mr. Blake, the master
builder of this yard, and the Daring, built by Mr. White,
the eminent yacht 'builder, were floated out of dock this
morning, and brought into the basin ; the Daring under
the sheers to be Misted. Both vessels are verfbeauti-
titul, their models symmetrical, and do much credit to
their talented constructors ; so nearly balanced are their
apparent respective perfections and capabilities that na-
val men in general are at a loss to which vessel to give
the preference, though they are diametrically different
in their formations, as is evident from their relative light
flotation draft of water, which is as follows :
