It is said that after all the labor and research of thousands of years shipwrights are fast coming to the conclusion that Noah was the most advanced naval constructor that ever existed, and that the lines of the ark as given by the dimensions of Scripture are the true lines for the -coming ship The subject was recently dismissed at a meeting of a naval society, and excited much interest. It was stated that there was a ship running on the Australian line which takes its measurement from the vessel in which eight persons were saved amid a drowning world. Would it not be a strange lesson on the felly of human pride and boast, if after all ohr hymns of self-praise for advancing progress, we should find that the most ancient of all naval models, given by the Almighty, was the correct plan to which we had toTpverfc."

THE NAVAL TRAINING SCHOOL SHIP. {From, the Southern Cross, April 24.) Those who, sdme four months ago, saw what is now the Naval Training School, at Kohiitnarama, and who viewed it yesterday, most accord very high praise to all concerned with the oatohlishinent.lt is as neat, dean, trim, and attractive, outside and in, afl it is possible tor any institution to be. Order and discipline, cleanliness and comfort prevail. Bright and pleasant looks, and an earnest, anxious emulation ohaßacteniso the score or so of ready and willing boys who ore being carefully trained under a painstaking and Judicious management, which is at once highly creditable to the officers, and is having a most excellent ©Sect upon the boys. Indeed, to behold the cleanliness and seafaring ability, and the prompt and cheerful obedience displayed by the boys, together with the good understanding which exists between them and Captain Breton, the superintendent of the institution,, and the schoolmaster, and to consider from what these clean and active boys have been rescued,' k creates|one;of the]most pleasaptlfeelings which a;, philanthropic, spectator can enfoy.

. present m top ktnited, and the house aoKX»amoaßt»n, while ample for sixty hoys at present. Mid easily made available for double that number, is, as respects the dwellings of the superintendent and schoolmaster, altogether inadequate. The hearts of both are evidently in their work, and that ‘a°ti which the sharp eyes and quick perceptionsfof youth prompts detect, has established a sympathy between the officers land the blue-dressed sailor men from which the host results may be predicted. The Government have been, perhaps, somewhat parsimonious in their experimental essays. Let ns ■gay they have been frmgol, to put it mildly; hut having seen what the condition of the establishment “°»shß,ago, and whet it is like to-day—with its little Mne Jackets about it and on the schooner, a regular miniature naval brigade—we cannot think that auy reasonably liberal expenditure could in ■any wise be ether than well bestowed, or can fail to produce results highly beneficial to the social conditton and future maritime progress of New Zealand. This institution will, we venture to prediet, prove one of the most creditable ventures of the Colonial Government, and one of which the Colony will have reason to be Justly proud. SHIPPING TELEGEAM. IftoELTox, May 10.—The s.s. Taranaki arrived from Pork Chalmers at 8.80 p.m. yesterday.
