A few years ago the idea of a Japanese riian-of-war coming to New South Wales would have been treated l with considerable ridicule; but it has, however, proved a fact, as a bona tide Japanese corvette is now at anchor in farm Cove. The Tsukuha was.originally! attached to the English navy, but being sold but of the service, was purchased by a speculator arid taken out to China with a cargo of coal, and subsequently passed inio the hands of the Japanese Government, and again look her pla-e as a fighting vessel, hut is now employed more, especially as a training: ship, bhe is 251 ft. long, with.32ft, beam, and is propelled by condensing engines of 000 horse-power, 'so that she docs not'attain a high rate of speed. Her armament consists of four Cl-pounder converted Krupp' guns, muzzle-loading, and six 32-poundcr brass'guns.--manufactured in Japan. Her crew, all told, number 313, subdivided as follows 210 able seamen. 40 cadets, 20 commissioned, 'office's, arid 4 warrant officers, She is commanded l by Captain E.
