The W_bbiob.— On her trip from Queens town to Falmouth, in company of the Revenge, the Warrior made 16-3 knots under steam, and the Revenge 11 knots. In sailing, the ship has considerable advantage over the frigate. The former also wears in seven minutes, while the latter, in consequence of her great length, und the insufficient supply of canvas forward, requires nineteen minutes. No severe 6torm was experienced, but the weather was sufficiently heavy to test the extent of the Warrior's rolling, which attained a mean of 16 deg., against 14 deg. by the Revenge. The guns of the ship have a range of 45 deg., those in th« frifate 22. In firing broadsides the Revenge

" heels over ;" the Warrior only " shakes a little.', Her veutiluting machinery, worked by one boiler, soon clears the space between decks from 8u;oke ; it also keeps the stokehole well supplied with fresh air, and will contribute largely to the healthful condition of the ship. In respect to ventilation, the stokehole of the Revenge is, by comparison, very deficient. The Warrior requires a powerful gang of men to steer her. It is stated that there is too much elasticity in the tiller-ropes, which are necessarily very long. On the 11th December, at noon, the ships being under canvas, Scilly lighthouse was sighted. Here three blank broadsides were discharged ; in the afternoon the guns were shotted and fired. It appears that more head sail is necessary ; an additional mast forward is suggested, or that the foremost and mainmast should be stepped nearer the bow. The ship is too much inclined to "come up in the wind." — Liverpool Albion.
