Important modifications are gradually taking place at home in shipbuilding practice. Vessels 350 feet long are now being built without keels, to adapt them for lightdraught trades : and vessels of the same size are, owjng to being built with web frames and intercostal stringers, devoid of hold beams, so permitting the more easy and rapid stowage of cargo. The use of 'A bars is also increasing, thereby saving labour and material. This section is being used in ordinary mercantile vessels, from the tank tops upwards, in place of frames and reverse frames.

The new Russian ironclad which lias been commenced at NicolaiefF will be called the Twelve Apostles. It will be 8076 tons displacement, and be protected by a belt of armour of 14 inches, and will be provided with engines developing upwards of 8500 i.h.p. Ihe Haiigut, another vessel for the Russian navy, of 6950 tons, has just been laid down at tho Admiralty works, St. Petersburg. This vessel will have only partial armour.
