THE TWO NEW STEAM FRIGATES. ‘The Amertean Sloop-ef-War Breeklys. to be Launched Te-Day, and the Russian Fri- gate Grand Admiral, THE SLOOP-OF WAR BROOKLYN. ‘The United States screw steamer Brooklyn, which will be lnunched st ten o’cieck this morning from Messrs. Weatervelt’s yerd, feot of Houston street, East river, is the first put -float of the five vessels suthorized by an net of Oongrees, approved March 3, 1857. Tho others, now building, are the Hartford, at Boston; the Lancaster, at Philadelphia; the Richmond, at .Norfoik, and the Pen- sacola, at Pensroola. ‘The contract for the Brooklym was made with Mr. Jacob A. Wertervelt, on the 17th of Novem’er last, by which be sgreed to complete the | hip, ready for res, in sixteen months from the date of the contriot, About one-asif of the slotted time has sow expired; the materisis have ali Deen collected, the hull has been completed, the masts, spars, rigging, sails, engive, &c., aro in @ good state of ferwardness and ready to be put on board, and there is nothing to prevent the ship being ready for her trial trip ip four months, which will be considerably within the time ‘agreed upon in the contract. The frame of the Brooklyn, as well ag the apron, inner post and deadwoods are com- posed entirely of live oak of the best quality, the frame being dowelled and bolted together, and filled im solid and caulked inside and outside from the keel up to a live four feet above the top of the keel. The frame fs moulded 16 inches at floor and eix inches at the rail, and sides from 9 to 10 inches—being 30 inches from joint to joint of the frames. She is double braced with tron straps, 43% by 3, placed at-an angle of 46 degrees, and four feet apart. The straps commence at the turn of the biige and run up and comneot with an iron band one iach thick snd five inches wide, which continues entirely around the ship, and is placed 12 inches below the gun- deck beams to allow the air ports to be cut above it clear of the strap. The iron braces cross ea:h other, one set ‘Deing let into the umbera and the other into the ceiling, &c. They are riveted to each other at the intersections, and bolted to the frames with one seven-cighths bolt in each timber, The keel, stem, stern posts and keleona are of the best quality white oak, and side 17 inches and mould 15 inches, There are three kelsons running the whole length of the ship, and four running within about 80 feet of each end, upon which are secured the engines, boilers, &c. The ceiling is nine inches thick, the berth- deck clamps eight inches thick, the gundeck clamps six inches thick, squere fastened with seven-eighths iron bolts, and in addition the ceiling is bolted edgewise 30 inches asunder with iron bolts. The beams are of yellow pine, 16 and 14 inches in the centre, tapered to 12 inches at the end, kneed with six knees at each beam, sided from 7 to 10 inches, bolted through, the frames and outside plank with 16 bolts in each knee; the arms of all the knees are 4}, feet long, and the bodies of the hanging knees aro 534 feet long and run down to the waterways. She has two waterways scarphed and bolted together with ‘one bolt in each timber driven through from the outside plank and riveted, The outaide plank are of wkite oak; the garboard is seven inches thick, boltodto the keel, and the strakes above are 6 inches, and 5 inches, gradually Giminishing to 43¢ at the lower tarn of tho bilge; they are 5 inches on the bilge, gradually increasing to 634 inches at tbe berthdeck, and continuing the same thickness to the gundeck, from whence they gradually diminish to 5 inches at the port sill. The bulwarks are of yellow pine outaide, and white oak inside. The combings of the hatches are of mahogany. She is provided with two capstans— one of which is Browp’s patent, which has been s0 much approved in the mercantile marine. She is fitted to work ons ten inch pivot gun af each end, and the balwarks are 80 made as to be readily unshipped in the wake of these rns, £0 #8 to fire in every direction. She has 12 ports on each ride, fitted for 9 inch shell guns of Dablgren’s patent, of which she is to carry 16 for the present. Her internal arrangements are somewhat similar to other naval vessels of her clase, and the materials and workmanship in all departments are of the best quality. She is 247 fect Jong from front of stem to after post, 43 feet beam and 21 feet 6 inches deep from floor timbars to the top of gun- deck beam ; the height between decks, clear of the beans, ig a little over 6 fee’. The Brooklyn has also three water. tight bulkheads, fitted in an improved manner, and which it io Delieved adds great strength to the ship, as well as eafoty in collision or other casasity. She will bo fully sparred and rigged as a “raze s!oop-of-war,” de. pending principally upon her canvass, with steam power as an suxiliary; this being the class of vesse's foand most effective in paval service. The light draught of water of the Brootiyn is only 9 feet 6 inches. There has been ex- pended in her construction about $0,000 cubic fest of live oak, 36,000 cubic feet of yellow pine, 79,000 Ibs. of coppor Dols, and 200,000 Ibs. of iron. Every aurake of plank bas two seven-e.gbths boits driven through and riveted, aad two Josust treenails wedged inside and outside. She is intended to draw, when equipped for sea, 16 feet of water, and her speed is calculated, under steam alone, at 10 knots per hour, Dut with canvers, under favorable circumstances, she will probably make 15 knots an hour, The Brooklyn will be propelied by two horizontal condensing crosshead engines. The cylinders are 66 inches in diameter, 36 inches stroke ; the erank shacs 14 inches diameter, with cranks forged on shaft; propeiler of brass 15 feet diameter, with 30 feet pitch All the sen valves are of brass, and rhe has two steam pumps for puraping ap boilers, pumping eut ship, and fire pump when required. There is brass lining where the shatt passes through the stern and deadwood of ship. ‘The outside of the brass lining is covered with copper, to make it doubly secure. She is also fitted with an ar rangement for boisting the propeller out of the water when sho is under sail. She carries Martin's boilers, with vertical tubes, amd water circulating through the tubes, about 5,000 square feet of fre surface and 200 feet of grate surface, also a teloscople smoke pipe to raive or lower at pleasure, The fresh water condenser for ship’s ‘use will make about 1,200 galions of water a day, The total weight of boilers and engices ts 720,000 pounds; in claded in this weight is about 100,000 pounds of bras. The hull, spars, &c., have been constructed under the copstant supervision of Samuel M. Pook, Exq., naval oon- structor on the part of the government, 1. B.

It contains several pubiic buildiogs, iactuding a small fortification, the Governor’s house, a custom house and several mosques and kbans. The most eurivus struc- ture in the town, however, is one reputed to be the tomb where tbe dust of our common mother Eve reposes. Jid- dab bas an extensive traneit trade with a!l the surround- wg countries; being one of the principal trading entre- pots of Arabia. The value of the imports from India and China atone in 1839 was $1,006,140, and in 1843 the entire imports amounted to $2,305,800. Nearly all the mer- chandise is exported agai, principally by way of Suez, along the whole Levant. From Egypt and Abyssinia come provisions, tobacco, musk, civet and incense; from fadia the imports are muslins and various other fa>rivs, eocom- nuts, teak, spices and shawls. Spices aad slaves, tn con- siderable quantities, are imported from the Malay archi- pelago and the coast of Mozambique. Tho exports from Jiddah to Abyssinia consist of coral, Egyptian cotton fa- brics, sword biades, matchlocks, cutlery, hardware, mir- rors and leather, Coffee, dates and Mecca balm form a considerable portion of the exports of native products. Jiddah is a resting place apnaaily for thousands of pil- grims from all quarters on their way to Mecos, There is @ remarkable fect connected with the muncipal govern- ment of this town: the sheriffs of the qity of Mecca have ruled there in regular succession ever since the time 0” the prophet Mohammed until the present contary. It is now, however, under the dominion of the Pasha of Egypt. ‘The vicinity of the town is a barren desert. Provisions have to be brought from a long distance, asit stands in the midet of a sterile, unproductive plain; and water is so scarce that the rain is scrupulously preserved In cisterns. ‘We presume that the number of Earopeans, or Christians of apy nation resident there was small. It is satisfaciory, ‘at least, to know, after the recent tntelligence of a fearful slaughter, that there were no American missionaries of any denomination at Jiddah. Americans Abroad. The ‘Universal Yankee Nation” is fast ceasing to be, if itever was, a misnomer. Americaas are litera ly over. shadowing the earth with their ingenaity, their enter. prine, their wondrous facility for ‘getting along,” and “going ahead.” They aro to be found in all quarters of the world, and in all ranks; very often in positions where one would be extremely puzzled to divine by whet extra- ordinary concatenation of circumstances they could have got there. Many of the noble families of England, and some at least of the royal ones of the Continent are to some ex- tent Americans. Lord Lyndhurst, ex-Lord Chancellor of England, ts a Boston boy; his father being John Singleton Copley, the miniature painter. The Dukes of Wel- lington, the Wellesleys, it is known are connected by marriage with the celebrated American family of Carrolle, of Maryland; Lord Ashburton married a Miss Bingham of Philadelphia; the wife of Sir W. Gore Ouseley, now at Weshington, isa New York lady; and Mrs. Wells, widow ofthe American banker of Paris, married the Freach Marquis de LaVallette. The family of Bonaparte and that of Washington have also become connected by the mar- riage of Murat, of Florida, with a grand-niece, we be- Hove, of the Father of his Country. These are curious links binding the old stock with the new; infusions of the young blood of our infant republic into the old current of ‘Theee few instances of the way in which the American people are interspersed with those of other lands,however, refer only to the notabilities; but here are a few extraor- inary examples of the existence of the American ele- mept ip foreign governments which is really surprising — The following native boru citizens of the United Siates hela the civil aud mili appointment set opposite thoir names iv her Britannic Majesty's colony of Trinidad, and ecptinued in the exercise of their offices until their death, the only survivor, Seth Driggs, being now in this city:— Hon.

"} To mH Honoranix THe Common Couscil:— GaxTieMeN—I herewiih transmit to your honorable body a communication from the special committec of a society which has been formed for the purpoee of providing ratuilous and aate public river baths to the reetJents of e city. The gentiemen who have inaugurated this move- ment and organized the society for the important object above mentioned, are known ¢) me as some of our vest citizene, and as having engaged in tuis work with paroly benevolent motives and aot in any way witha view to derive profit frou: the orgacization as a matter of = soval speculation. The great benefit to the public of free river baths, when properly conducted, as it is proposed there shall be, must bo admitted. Lesides,no city is Detter situated fo afford ite innabitants the refreshing ard bealtbfal pleasures of river bathing than our owa. Bounded by two noble rivers which afiord every facility for locating baths, they should bofore vais have deco o4- tablished. In the earlier periods of our city the many secluded places slong the shores of thes streams, of themselves, provided those advantages. The rapid io crcaso, however, of cur ponulation,and the cousequent coustruction of wharves for the accommodation of our commerce, have since deprivad those desirous of eait waier bathing of former facilities. aud now it cannot be bad except ia a few private baths, in accessible to the mass of the people, or in’ tbe remote upper sections of the island. I would fa penton recommend that your honorable body take auch action as will result in the prayer of the same buing granted under such regulations as may be deemed noces- eary and proper. DANIEL F. TIFMANN, Mayor. The papers were read and referred to Committee on Wharves, Piers and Slips. Another message was reselved from the Mayor acoom- pany ing a notice and letter from Russe!!
