New Mode of Constructing Ships.— A gentleman of Liverpool has introduced a plan for building ships with iron ribs and all the interior parts strengthened with iron, bat with the planking and exterior of wood, as in ordinary vessels of the old fashioned con structiou. The planks are to be bolted to the iron, and it is bplieved by many parties conversant with the construction of ships, who have examined the various parts of the contrivance, that it will secure important advantages, amongst olbcis, those of cheapness aud superior strength. A model of a vessel on this construction has been exhibited in the Exchange Underwriters' Rooms, and has attracted much attention. We are informed that a ship, to be built on this plan, lias been recently laid down in one of our ship yards. She is to be a fast class vrssel, and will not cost more than £10 per ton.— Sunday Times.
