peculiar situations and habits in life

.N'szu method Of rigging shias.-LIEur. ALLEN,
of the Navy, has devised plan by which ships
standing rigging may be taken down and again re.
placed in part or in whole, in port or at sea, with
great facility and without disturbing the topmasts or
yards, which is particularly beneficial it enables
the mariner in gale to replace lost shroud with
as much ease as he replace any article of run
ming rigging. 1t also saves much injury to the mast
heads and to the rigging, which both are subject 10
by placing the eyes of the shrouds and stays over
the mast heads. For this valuable improvement
Lieut.. Allen has received patent from the Presi-
dent under the great seal Of the United States and
the new ship John Wells, has been rugged ON this
plan. She now lays at Corlaers Hook, foot Of Cher
ry street.---M Y. Mere. .9dv.
