THE BALTIC FLEET.

A naval correspondent of the London News
gives in the following paragraph, the reasons
why the Baltic feet is inactive. He complains
that the Russian ships will not GENE out to
meet them, but does not seem to remember
that the Russian sail vessels would fight the
British steamships at as great disadvantage
as the latter would encounter in attacking
the tortresses. There seems to be a good deal
of that "rascally virtue" discretion, on both
sides. 1t is evident, from this officers &C.

RAILROADS IN ENGLAND-NIPROV
MENTS IN AXLES

Railways are still going ahead in England.
Upwards of 140 railway bills have been
brought before Parliament at its present ses
sion. This kind of enterprise is therefore still
inhig feather Besides increasing the number
of companies and extending the lines of rail
ways, there is a constant effort to improve the
machinery of them. After a number of ex-
periments, it has been. decided that hollow
axles are preferable to solid ones In weight
alone, there is a saving of one and half hun
dred weight on each pair of axles-no unim.
portant item. A block weighing nearly ton
being let to fall height of twelve feet. on
botn kinds of axles,tby.waytof experiment,
the solid were invariably seen to give way
first. They break across, while the hollow
ones, when they fail, open lengthwise only,
and thus there is little danger of detachment
of wheels. Another less important discove-
ry, is mode of clearing out the boiler tubes
of the ashes and incrustations which after a
time obstruct them: atiexible pipe with a noz,
zle leading from the steam chamber, is
brought TO bear upon them, and they are
blown clean III ten minutes-a work which.
under the old way, required half an hour.
