lutely- certain that in not less than thirty

ish vessel Nunadnoid, previously received IN this
city it is known that she Is between three and
four hundred feet long, and draws twice as much
water as the hc9GdRock. She is eight times as
hiQh out of water, and one hundred feet longer
than the MOnddnock: cost twice as much money
in gold as the latter did in paper, has ten times
as many guns, and her daily expenses four times
as much. Her armor is only halt the thickness of
that of the Monddnook The Numdnoia was built
IN Scotland, and is the best type of the English
lron,eiads The impression is she was originally
built tor the Confederate service. All the vessel
OF the Monddaock class were designed at the
