The Ioisdon Daily Netos special correspond
ent at st. Petersburg, writing on the 2Sth ulti-
mo, says Yesterday the sea-goingl turret ship
Peter the Great was launched from the Admir-
atty dochSard The vessel received its name
from the Grand Duke Constantine, in the pres
ence Of great concourse Of people. In fey
days she will be lifted into floating dock, which
will be towed, with its enormous burden, over
the shadows to Cronstadt, where the engines
will be fitted the ships sides and turret sheath
ed with massive plates, the four great steel can
non shipped, and in less than years time Rus,
sia will have at sea by far the most powerful
man-of-war yet built. The vessel has been de-
signed by Admiral Popoff His ship differs in
many respects from the American and English
turret ships. The Peter the Great is 329 feet
inches In length between perpendiculars Her
greatest outside breadth is 63 feet. The build
er's measurement is 5,952 tons, and the dsplace-
ment with coal, stores and water in boilers Will
be 8. .665 tons, at a mean draught of % feet and
/ 9 inches The plates on the ships sides and
raised building amid ships vary from IL to IA in
/ ches, and the armor-plate protects the ship TO a
| depth of six inches below the water line. The
vessel has no spur, but the upright stem is heav-
| ily plated, and of enormous strength. Many
| sailors are of opinion that the spur may be a
,urce of danger to the vessel fitted with it, and
that the strong straight stem of the Peter the
Great will deliver most effective blow, with lit
tie or no risk to herself. The ship has two large
turrets which are plated with 16 inches OF iron
in two thicknesses OF IA aad inches. She hal
no masts, but depends entirely on her engines

GALLANT CONDUCT OF OUR NEIGHBoRs AT
READING.

Our neighbors at Reading are having an eX-
cited contest with the great railroad corporation
which. until lately has controlled their city, and
while contributing largely to its growth and
prosperity has been virtual dictator to the
people upon all questions where its interests
seemed to be involved. Now, however, the
Readingites desire and intend that the Whining
ton and Reading line to the Lehigh shall have
fair show in passing through the city, and they
have been liberal and wise in giving it leave to
Law its track, through, on certain streets.
In response to this and in order to choke oil
the Extension road the great Up. 4 R. eorpo-
ration has now entered the field of open war,
gi Il armis, and has attempted to browbeat the
city defy its proper authority, and set its ordi-
nances aside. Thus far, however, it has not
made much progress its distractions illegally
and insolently laid upon the streets, have been
promptly removed, and the Councils show q
unanimous purpose to maintain the dig
nifty of their good city, and to subserye its best
interests by seeing that all fair and legitimate
railway enterprises have a chance to come in and
increase its trade, if they wish to do so. In thi'
determination, the Councils are evidently backed
by the whole people, and while this is the cas-
they can very well regard with contempt til
selfish insolence of the British corporation.

Young man like 1.-THE worlds dread laugh;' or

much danger. But it is not long before he must
take another step and il he hesitates aud tal-
