TIE FRENCH 1noN-cIADs.
pa,is (Oct ~ Correspondence Of Lyndon Times1
Now that the Equadron OF French 1rou-
cased ships-of-naz are making their second
trial, 1t mar not bo without interest to give
short description Of the ships. Toe squad
ron is composed Of the ships. the line h1a-
genta aud so1ferino, and the frigates Norman
die, Invincible and co11onfle.
The Magenta and 8olftrino, which we're
built On the came model, are longer and have
q greater breadth of beam thsr any ship IN
the iniI erfal navy. Their lines are remark
ably fIne, and demonstrate the great improve
anent which has taken place In shtp building
in Frhpce Of late Year,. Their torcpart so
fine and taper may be compared to plough
sha:e Irtelded to open q larrow in the SEA,
and Is armed with IN iron spur 1ftesn tons,
retght, OF which the point Is about four feet
unoer water. Every pEocsut!oa haa been
adopted to prevent any part OF the ship, ex-
cept the sFur, tsom bearing the shock of u
collision. The disadvantage Of iron sb1ps
haviLg z mt ona tier Of guns, was discovered
when the Norman0ie Qtnt experienced heavy
Sra and vas forced to close her portfolios.
Had the been attacked by Ell ordinary steam
must have been captured. The Msgeuta aud
6ulferino were consequently built With d
double tier of guns, 30 that should thslr 10 T.
er pcrlholes be closed, their upper guna Tlu
be effective.

aluo&, tAe InHtr tAel VI Eu4b 10 lEluCeu W

which, with two on the deck, form altogether

be tired In a1tEost any weather. 1t Tsa fur.
1her det6rmined to aacriace the f3re.and aft
parts Of these s1lfps, and TO coyer only their
centre with ehotproof. iron plates. Not
wtthstsnding this Reduction, the plating still
| au4ounts to the enormous weight Of 900 tons.
The powder magazine, the machinery and the
cockpit are protected by the iron casing.
The great Danger to which these chips are tx
POSED 10 their fore or aft part oslng set on
1t1e by an eneiny; hut this has been anticipA-
| ted, and part Of the crsw are specially ap-
polluted to act iu such an emergency. tbs
lhips arc consequently free from the defscts
discovered In tne iron. ca:ed ftgates, and they
| roll considerably less in 3 heavy sea. THIS
| confederation, together with Their upper Tier
Of guns, gives these ahips, notwithstanding
that their noH a1d stern are. unprotected, $
| decided advantage over the frigatss.
The ff>gatcB Ncrmaudie ana 1asi1cib!a a1e
built Of timber, nftef the model OF the GlolFe.
| Their engine is OF $40 horse pc wer, witn eight
boilers, AID they arc armed nilh Htlcd guus,
tbEo "Ins thirty poand shot.
The Con1onnc Is bullt on different plan
fro1u the other two. She Is Of iroa a1d tim.
bes, md can carry greater supply Of goals
| than the 1thers and che is armed With hfte1n
| guEe only. On the deck of each ot the frtg-
ates Is an ilon'cased tower, Intended TO shell
ter the captain and the eeaman who are re.
quired to remain o. deck. Their mssts aud
sails being their most vulnerable parts dur
ing an action, are reduced to the smallest pos
eiole proportions.
Duflng their frst trial trip neither the
Msgeit ID nor the solfstino ship;ed any wat
CT, tyen in the Worst weather, and they were
able to rsake from three to five knots against
the wind. Tie Nornaodte, during the SAINT
trip, lost her jIbboom and Ter m1zzen top
mast, and she shipped so much Water that al
times ftaI5 were entertained of her eafety IL
consequence Of her Ares having been e1
tirguikhed. She likewise lost soms Of hel
boats.
The Cou1onne has proved her:elf the bes
tea boat Of the three tigates, The sever,
gule they experienced during their first t!iI
enabled Admiral Penaud to form Just ldei
