France 5000, 900; Austrian Empire exclusive
of Italy, 1000, 900; Russia 100000. The

Donald Mckay, the Boston shipbuilder,
who has been making tour Of inspection
through the British shipyards, writes that
American models for speed are very superior
to any that he has seen in the Royal Dock
yards He recommends the more general
use Of iron and steel in the construction of
vessels, which materials are now principally
used in England. He will avail himself Of
whatever suggestions may occur to him, to
make improvements in our naval architec-
ture, which is already superior to that of any
other country.
