"THE DAUGHTER OF THE REG1MENT"-The
Seventh Regiment of National Guards, of New
York, had grand parade on the Goth uh The
Express, in describing it, mentions the following
incident:
A most gratifying incident last evening was the
Introduction to the members by Col. Duryee, of
Miss Denver, the Child Of the Regiment" for she
has in fact been adopted by this regiment, and by
it entirely supported. Her father was the Adutant
of the National Guard, and some time since COM
mitted suicide, leaving his child an orphan. The
members, with feeling that does honor to them as
men, promptly adopted her, and each one snbscribes
dollar year for her support. She is an exceed
ingy pretty, interesting girl, now about thirteen OF
fourteen years Of age we should suppose. AS she
was led in the middle of the floor, in the presence
of her numerous fathers, she was greeted with a
loud shout of applause. She afterwards mingled
with them, and appeared to be greatly pleased with
her novel situation.

The NEW STEAM FRIGATE MERRIMAC-This is
one OF the six steam vessels now in course of
structlon for our navy. She is on the stocks in
Charestown Navy Yard, Massachusetts, and is so
far advanced that she could be made ready for
launching, if required in four or five weeks From
detailed description of the Merrimac given by the
Boston Atlas learn that she is PAT feet hong on
the keel 257 at the load displacement line, and 2S1
from the knightheads to the taffrail; her extreme
breadth of beam is 81 feet inches; breadth on
the berth deck At, ON the gun deck 46, and on the
spar or upper deck ~ feet; depth SO feet 10 in
ches; and capacity about $500 TONS She has three
complete decks, viz: the berth or lower deck, the
gun or main deck, and the spar or upper deck.
Her armament will consist of two 1O-inch pivot
guns, one forward and the other aft on the upper
deck "a 9-inch guns and IA S-inch guns, weighing
respectively 81, 81 and So cwt, all designed for
shell as well as shot. This is her nominal arma-
ment, but, if required, she could mount Is more
heavy guns and it is thought could carry them too
for she has great apparent buoyancy. The Mer-
rimac, however. was designed and modelled by
John Lenthall, Esq, chief of the Bureau of Con-
struction at Washington and has been built agree
ably to his designs.
Our ships of war, says the Atlas, as well as our
merchantmen, are distinguished the world over
from the ships Of other nations, by the beauty OF
their models. We question if there is more
beautiful ship-of-the-line in the world than the
Ohio, or frgate than the Congress. But, however
beautiful our models, we have much to learn in the
application Of steam to our ships of war before we
can even claim equality with the ships of France or
England 1t is to be hoped that the six ships now
building will prove what their designersintended-
the best of their class in the world

1t is said in diplomatic circles Of Washington,
last night, that private dispatch had reached
this city, saying that Victoria was fast going
the way of her ancestors-that is, becoming de-
ranged, the symptoms having shown themselves
in her recent Illness We have not been able to
trace this to an authentic source
The Washington correspondent of the Balti-
more Patriot abiding to the same report, says:
Affairs in England seem to be in a worse
condition than they have been for centuries
past, and to add to her troubles, see that fears
are entertained that the Queen is laboring under
the hereditary disease of insanity. sincerely
hope and trust that this may be SANDER of
the opposition. She is anxious to do right if
her Ministers would let her.

THE PARIS ExH1BIr1oN.-It is stated that
the portion of the Industrial Palace in Pari:
assigned to the United States is of ample space,
and admirably situated, the only fear being that
it will be too ample. A young Hungarian
architect had made the designs for the archl-
tectural ornamentation, which had been sub
mitted to .he imperial commission, and, II ap'
proved, one of the principal American exhibi'
tors, manufacturer of India-fubber articles
had volunteered to defray the expenses Of exc,
cutting them In caoutchouc.
At the last accounts the number Of American
exhibitors who had applied for admittance die
not exceed one hundred; and not an American
article had been taken into the building.
The exterior of the palace is nearly com
pleted. but it is said not to present any grea
architectural beauty. It is huge glass house
with iron and stone enough to give it solidity
Its proportions, however, are immense.
