NAvAL.-The London Times, the Saturday ReUie,o,
and other leading British journals, are discussing
the report of the American Naval Board, appointed
to ascertain the advsabity of converting sailing
ships into steamers. The Times cOngratuates Eng
land that there other countries in the world in
which men-of war have been allowed to rot upon
the stocks; and wonders why we have not built, or
spoken about, iron-plated vessels. The Saturday
ReUteW is not at all surprised at the cautious
duct of the United States Government, in view of
the fact that although Britain built five crafts on
the new plan, one of them has never been put to
sea; and that they may all turn out failures.

of bad character, living in that vicinity was detect

some of his neghbors, that by way of punishment,
they hung him, intending only to choke and fright
