THE NEW BRITISH CoRvErTEs.-Half q
dozen steel corvettes are forthwith TO be add
cd 10 the English navy, swift, well armed
vessels, TO serve as cruisers. For some time
past, steel has been regarded by shipwrights
with favorable eye, being tougher and al
together far less liable 10 fracture than iron,
and now the admiralty has taken the bold
step OF concluding contract for building
six war-ships OF this material without de-
lay. They are tn be built on the Clyde, and
10 be ready for service with their engines on
board, within two years, so we may expect
that, for some time at least, We shalt hear no
more about the ship-building Industry in
that district being in a depressed condition.
These corvettes will not serve 10 any fleet
along with big iron clads, but are designed
especially for foreign service in China aud
the Pacific, as also for cruising In the vicini-
ty OF the colonies and foreign possessions.
They will be remarkably fleet sallers, and, it
is anticipated, will be able TO make 20 miles
an hour without difficulty. Their armament
is TO consist OF Ii guus OF different calioers,
and, besides the steel casing, their bulwarks
are TO be covered with two thicknesses OF
teak.
