Four of the frigates, were in fact, sixty-four gun
ships, and there were forty transports moored be-
hind the line of battle. The allied fleets carried
1860, and the Turkish 1918 guns-the former
however had an advantage in weight OF metal, and
the latter had the assistance of the batteries ON
shore. The Turks set fire to their ships rather
than surrender them and nearly their whole fleet
was destroyed without any being captured. "One
Turkish line-ot-battle ship was burned two drv-
EN- on shore, wrecks one double frisate sunk one
on shore, wreck; two burned fifteen frisates
burnt and sunk; three on shore, wrecks one ON
shore, masts standing: fifteen corvettes burned
and sunk four on shore, wrecked: 9 briggs burnt
and sunk one on shore, masts standing six fire
ships destroyed aud three transports. Of the Sc
vessels of war, only eight are left afoat.'' All
accounts agree that the most noble emulation was
manifest between the vessels of the three friendly
powers; it was which should be most ardent in
rendering assistance 10 an ally in danger. In
this particular, the French, Enslsh, and Russians
obtained an equal claim to each others gratitude.
History affords no example of chopper alton so
prompt and free on the part OF the slaIronS Of
different nations.
Information was received in London on the
evening of November IA, through TIE French pa
pers, in which it was said that Ibrahim ho,ted the
white flag before sunset, the time prescribed by
the admirals and it he did so, it wouId appear
that he was inclined to submit, at least for the
ment. This news. if true, is likewise important:
but though it is not impossible, it is nevertheless
very doubtful. The most authentic (unof6ciaD
accounts state that brahim was not at Navarin at

BUILDING.
BY DIR. MEAsE OF PHILADELPHIA.

BY DIR. MEAsE OF PHILADELPHIA.
A very capita. error in building in the
United States, is the thinness of The walls.
A house with thin walls is both cold in
winter, and hot in summer house with
thick walls is Just to the reverse. To the
n. w. and N. E. in particular, the walls
ought to be three times the common thick
ness.
The opportunity here offered, cannot be
omitted of bearing atestinony against the
common but uneconomical, unhealthy and
dangerous practice of erecting wooden
buildings, particularly in cities. 1t is to be
regretted, that in the United States advo-
Gates for wooden structures are found. To
such the following observations are offered.
By building of wood much immediate as
well as remote inconvenience, is to be ex-
pected; and certainly, however suddenly
felt may be the comfort arising from an in
crease of despatch, the numerous consid-
eratlens of perishableness, want of safety,
and call for repairs, added to the reflection,
that the public taste is, for the time, de-
prived of one great field of exerticn, will
very much weigh with an enlightend peo-
pie, when once they become awakened to
their advantages, and proud of the singular
novelty of their physical and moral oppor-
tunities of situation.
Wood, considered as a material of
architecture, is not only perishable, but it is
fearfully accessible to all the dangers of
wind and fire, and is not so strong as brick
or stone.
Bachelors only ought to build of wood ;
men who have but life estate in this world,
and who care little for those who come af-
ter them. Those who have either children
or wife to leave behind them, will build
of brick, if they wish to leave monuments
of kindness, rather than a rent charge be-
hind them. A we'll furnished brick house,
however small, is not only more elegant
and Immediately useful. and safe, but is
cheaper in the end than wooden one. Ii
needs fewer repairs its prime cost is but
little more it is property which yields
more, inasmuch as, if rented out, it carries
from the per cent. of rent, fewer of the eat
inc repairs, which render the profits of
wooden rent rolls, so equivocal and preca-
rious.
With respect to insurance, which in all
popular places sooner or later takes place,
it bears an analogy to policies on ann1ities,
where one subject fingers under a precari-
Gus existence, and the other is blessed with
youth and sound constitution. In point
of ease, taste, and duration, there can be
mo hesitation between them. The whole
doubt in the mind Of builder rests in the

~ FALLEN SIAN
Thy course in heaven is done Tiarad night
Hath lost a jewel from her peerless brow,

Uplifts its bar for mountain day, and soon

Lost beautiful and lost so shall the moon,

Look round in vain for one bright vansh'd gem
Whose glory hath gone out neither shalt thou

Out from its broken sphere,-and all was over

Where dead men slumber on, or may be, hover

DESTRUCTION OF THE TURKISH
FTEFT

A brief notice Of this great event was given
In our last The importance of the action it.
self, as well as the deep interest felt in every
thing relative to the cruel and sanguinary con-
test between the Turks and Greeks has nduc-
ed US to devote considerable space in this pa
per to the details of the affair. The New York
Commercial Advertiser has given condensed
abstract of the most important paragraphs in
the European papers, relative to it, from which
we have extracted so much of the following
article as precedes the official account
The official dispatches give but very
imperfect account of the immense number
ofthe Turco-Egyptians engaged. The
Turkish Government never collected on a
single point a more imposing naval force.
They .rackoned-126 transports, ships of
the line, frigates OF 60 guns, IA do. of 40
do. 80 corvettes, and 81 fire ships-total
224 of which but the wrecks of % briggs
and corvettes were left, and even these
were abandoned. The action commenced
soon after sunrise, and at nine o'clock the
batteries of Nvarin and Sphacteria were
silenced, and five vessels were on fire At
ten, forty five Austrian transports, moored
near the inner island, were also in flames
and about noon, the Turkish naval force,
the impious work of foreign structure, and
of crews raised from the mud of European
ports, had ceased to exist The Captain
of one of the French ships engaged, writes
to his wife in Paris, that the destruction of
the Egyptian fleet is complete, and that
the ships continued burning two days after
the battle. He adds that the victory was
so decisive that even the fortresses ca
pitulated, and at the hour he was writing,
the flag of the Allied Powers was floating
on the ramparts Of Navaiin, and the garri-
son marching out before them. But the
victory was dearly purchased. Many gal
liant officers and men fell on board of the
combined fleets. The total killed in the
British fleet in the above action, was rs
wounded 1877. In the French fleet, As kill
ed, 10 severely wounded, 65 wounded. 1t
does not appear by the despatch that the
Russians suffered much The battle seems
to have been fought with great fury on both
sides: but the Turks do not appear to have
lost that obstinate courage for which they
have been remarked ever since they be-
came nation. Considering the number
of ships of the line opposed to the Turks
and Egyptians, itals surprizlng that the
battle lasted so long. Certainly the Turks
have showed by this battle, that in point of
ability, they are superior to what we have
supposed. They indeed fought to despera-
ton, and their loss was terrific. In one
of their largest ships $50 men were killed,
and in another 400. The following is a
synopsis of the forces of the respective
parties:

FEAR OF DEATH INCREASES WITH AGE.
Age, that lessons the enjoyment of life, in
creases our desire of living. Those dan
gers which in the vigor of youth we had
learned to despise, assume new terrors as
we grow old, our caution increasing as our
years increase, fear becomes at last the
prevailing passion of the mind, and the
remnant of life is taken up in useless eff
forts to keep off our end, or provide for &
continued existence.
