A. New Submarine Vessel.
It is roported that a Spanish submarine vessel at San Fernando Arsenal has been* damaged by one of the tubes serving as reservoirs for compressed air bursting. The inventor of this vessel is Lieutenant' feral, who was very well received by the Minister of Marine and the leading naval and civil engineers of Madrid, to whom he only partly revealed the plans and secret of his system. Lieutenant Peral undertakes to mako, in January, at San Fornando, the first trials of his vessel before he attempts to navigate it under water for forty-eight hours m the rough seas near the Straits of Gibralta. Heasseite that he can keep the boat in a horizontal position mid steer and use in as a torpedo vessel under water with a crew of eight men. The Government has promised its moral and pecuniary support to the invention, which is exciting groat interest in Spain, especially among naval officers.
