The spar dock of the Nisyara differs ia y partigulars from that of other vessels of war fa the American avy, and presents perhaps a greator catent of dear and exodetructed epace than ia to be found im any her chip-of war in the world. In pautioal language it is _ mhat je called “a ftush deck,” which, reduced to plain fmglich, means that it is 5 free from all obstructions as it vp porcidie to make it on a vessel of such a character.

While, however, sho surpasses thom in @e, she numbers but twelve guns; but these aro of euch yreat calibre and are capabie ef doing such terrible execa- Jen as to place her, it is claimed, on a perfect equality with wy of them, if they should not render her superior.

These terrible engines of des- wuction can be fired with ae mush accuracy as a rifle, aad passers agreat advantage over other kinds nw in use, tet mercly on account of thelr great size, but from the fact that they can throw a chell to a distance which is be- pend the range of those employed on the other vessels of war navy. The art of throwing projectiles has reached ech a etate of perfection that from the momen} the she?l leaves the gun the time which must elapse before it etrikes Be edject is co nicely calculated that it oxplodes imme- Hately ov reaching its destination. Each of those guns is werked by twenty-five men, and from this number a Meaptain of the gun,” a second captain, first and second foaders, first and second spongers and others, are selected fer special duty. The shel! itself is loaded with six pounds @f powder, and the quantity required for a charge is thirty pounds. The total weight of the twelve gunz, with their q@mrriages, is one hundred and tixty-eigh: toms; and if to Bile be added the shells and powder reqnired for one hun- dred rounds to each, we will have an aggrogate of about bwo bundred and seventy tons, To support such a weight Wf guns the spar deck, which on the Niagara is alzo the Be deck, is constructed of the strongest timber, and is @rengibened by both wooden and iron stauncheons, As Interfere with the work for which she Las been detached frem the regular service, they have not been taken on Deard.

It ie about fifty fect by thirty, and between nice aud ten fect from the floor to the ceiling. The fhrniture is of a simple and unpretonding character, but there is an appear- ance ef elegance about bay beg of the apartment itself which more than makes up absence of mahogany, or more costly rosewood. An engraved portrait of Washington, ina plain gilt frame, hangs in ihe most conspicuous place in the apartment, and’ this is the only work of art by which ttis embellished, But the visiter must not take this as an indication of a wart of appreciation of the fine arts in the officers, for nothing would be more tucorrect or more vnjust,’ Enter almost any of tho ifteen enug and neatly furnished little eighty-by ten bedrooms and you will seo More thon one painting, aud among these perhaps copies of rome gems of the old Italian masters and articles of veniu obtained during a cruise tn the Mediterranean.

After 10 o'clock, also, all conversation or noise that may disturb the sleep of the officers who havo kept watch or are going on watch is strictly probibited, aad only one light Is allowed in the wardroom. Whatever muy be said about lato hours and dias!pation arbore, there can be very little if any at sea, and howovor men raay bo inclined to indulco while on laod, toy have certainly no opportunity for it on board a nn $ war. ‘The mess rooms of the warrant officers are not equal in sppeeaance to that which bas just been doscribed, bat if roome aro hardly inferior in point of accommodatioas and general appearance to thore of the wardroom officers.
