RUSSIA BIDDING FOR AMERICAN Cruisers.

Some queer rum0rs are anoat concerning the IN
tention of the Russian government to purchase some
Of our navy yard built men of-war, In view OF The
contingencies arising out of a war with England It
is well known that the United States have number
OF ships OF large SIZE built expressly for the purpose
OF preying upon English merchantmen in case OF u
war that more than once appeared likely TO arise
between Great Britain aud our country. There were
four OF these craft constructed OF bur
then, new measurement, and designed to carry a
battery OF twenty-one guns-those In broadside to
he 11inch smooth bore shell guns and those mounted
on pivot carriages to be two or three hundred
FOUNDER rifles. The engines, expressly designed
and constructed for these vessels, were OF immense
size and power, the whole available space between
decks being used for the boilers, engines aud coal
bunkcrs, leaving room only Tor Il small crew. Their
extreme length and narrow beam, combined with
beautiful model, made them just the craft for great
speed. The Wampanoag, or rs she Is now called
the Florida made prolonged trial trip, and under
steam alone, logged seventeen knots-a speed that
was maintained for more than twenty-;our hours.
The reckonings were mace from andfall 10 landfall
and there could be no mistake as to the distance
run in q given time. No such speed was ever
before attained by any propeller or man-of-war
OF any nation. The trial aud It's results attracted
very general attention all over the world;
but as the war OF the rebellion had closed
the government had no special use for that
peculiar style OF ship and they were placed
In ordinary and have been laying up ever since On
Tuesday last, as we noticed IN naval report OF
yesterday o. the vesscls--the Florida--was
hauled out OF her old berth and taken to the ord

United states are not likely TO need these
craft for some time to come in OF the English
nation coming 10 terms with the Alabama
claims, we can sell tho craft to foreign Power.
