return to the coast. I assure you my time has been
.urtily employed in attending to the sick, having no

4ne I have endured these last three months, at-
ending the dying and the dead ; and when we re-
ifurn to Fernando Po, I expect to find one-half of the
jetty we have left there defunct. Were Ito attempt

From two drafts that have been presented to Sir
Robert Seppings by Admiral Greig, two frigates of
60 guns have been built in the Black Sea, with a
view to ascertain, by actual experiment, the truth
of the principle, as laid down by Romnie, the great
French Author on Ship-building—viz. that the re-
sistance the body meets with depends chiefly on the
area of the greatest transverse section. These frigates
are each about 171 feet long, and 44 feet broad.—
Their submerged part is a mathematical figure
formed from the parabola and the midship, and the
other transverse sections; with water lines are para-
bolas of different exponents. Both bodies have the
same area of flotation and displacement, with the
centre of gravity of displacement, and other ele-
ments of construction, in the same relative position,
but one has a much 'larger area of midship section
than the other.—Hampshire Telegraph.

TIIE RIVAL PARTNERS.---TWO itinerant cheese-
mongers were summoned before the LORD MAYOR
on Saturday, to answer for the offence of vending
cheese to the prejudice of the shopkeepers in Rose-
mary-lane, where they stationed themselves. They
had once been partners, but were now rivals. The
shopkeepers complained that the competition of these
men made cheese so cheap that they stood no chance
at all.—(Laughter.)
After some admonition from his Lordship, both
the defendants were discharged.
