EXPERIMENTAL SQUADRON.

(EXTRACT OF A LETIER. ; beci
We have had rather a coarse cruise of it, having
a series of fresh and strong gales during the six we,
we have been out. In all the heavy weather trials 17,
have had, the Symonites have been completely beaten
the Canopus and Rodney ; even the Vanguard, of 70
ing notoriety, with a new copper bottom, is unable
compete with the Canopus (a French model of the
century) in a fresh gale and a head sea.
The Superb, after all the trouble that has been talc;
with her, is little or nothing improved. The R
notwithstanding her lightness, is as weatherly in "
weather as ever. As to the Albion, she gets Worse no
worse ; last on all occasions, foul weather or floe, ca
wind or before it. As a " foremost Jack," serving
board this ship, with an experience of twenty-fivel4ll
in the merchant service and Royal Navy together, r
be bold to state the sea-going qualities of this sell
ship in a very few words. u • PIO
" On a wind " she forereaches tolerably fast, ottlesil
a very bad wind. " Going free," considering he.." 100,
of canvass, she is good for nothing. She is slack In'
steers bad, pitches easy, but rolls tremendously. „..001
'This is the naked truth with respect to the qua'
this much-talked-of ship—the Albion. lea
Of the five two-deckers that have been out on Ord to
cruise, the Canopus is undoubtedly the best ship,
Rodney is very little inferior to her.

(EXTRACT OF ANOTHER LETTER.) 1.10111
The Superb has beat everything, both by
butont
upon all occasions, not as heretofore by fathoms,
miles, and she is the easiest, and, I have no doubt.lty
the very best ships the Surveyor ever built, an .o
hands of Captain Corry must, and there is no
the question, arrive at perfection, upon the thresw'
which she is already.
