A Glasgow! correspondent of a London ptiper I says:—"As is well knovrn on the Clyde, the France, built by Messrs Henderson, of Partick, is the largest ship afloat since the Maria Rickmers, a German-owned auxiliary screw ship, was lost, and now I learn that the Germans intead again to tnke from the French what honour there is in having the biggest ship, and this time they intend to have her constructed by German builders. A Brem«rh.<ven firm has commenced a five-masted sailing ship, of iron, which will be 365 ft long, 50ft beam, anri 31 ift depth, her gross tonnage being 4250. The Maria Rickmers, launched in IS9I. was 3513 tons, and the France, built in 18H0, wns 3784 tons. The new vessel will carry nearly (iSOfl tons of cargo.
