THE ATRE-ROYA I„ DRURY-LANE.—Lessee, -I- Mr. E. T. SMITII—JACK ET LA TIGE 1)E FEVE.— Sous le rune du grand Alfred vivait une pauvre femme qui avait a peine de quoi supporter sa miserable existence et cello de son jeune gargon. Elle avait en vain essays d'ameliorer son sort, car dans ce qu'elle entreprenait tout tournait contre elle. Cet enfant, qu'elle aimait tant, etait loin de la consoler par son zele et sa conduite ; semblable beaucoup d'enfans de son age it preferait lo jeu It tout. Un jour sa bonne mere lui dit, lea larmes aux yeux, " Jack, il ne Rolls rests plus rien que notre vache, et il faut nous en de faire ou perir de faim." Jack partit done pour lo marche, et pour rendre son voyage plus agreable se mit a chanter toutes sorts de chansons, jusqu'a ce ent r:.',ncentre un beucher qui I'aborda d'un air fort amical. Cet homme avait son plan, et il songeait a le mettre a execution tandisque tons deuxpoursuivaient leur route eu devisant de choses et d'autres. Ce mechant homme fit si bien qu'il persuada au pauvre Jack de lui vendre sa vache pour quelques feves de la plus bril lante couleur. Jack, qui n'en savait pas plus long, se laissa attraper, et croyant avoir fait une excellente atlaire il re tourna chez sa .mere. Lorsque sa pauvre mere vit quel triste marche it avait conclu elle prit toutes les feves et lui dit, "Est cela, znechant enfant, le tour qui se devait at de toi ? Tous mes soins, toute mon affection ne pouvaient ils t'inspirer un peu de bon sens ? Qui voudrait s'imaginer qu'un enfant tel que tol, si malin lorsqu'il s'agit de faire quclque drole de tour, serait assez sot que d'abandonner notre vache, notre derniere ressource, pour une poignee de feves ?" Ce disant, elle alla jeter les feves dans un plant de choux, et envoya Jack toucher sans souper. Le lendemain matin Jack 'it avec surprise que les feves avaient en une seule nuit pris mein) et era d'une maniere vraiment extra ordinaire. Il courut chercher sa mere et Pamena pres d'un tige de feve qui avait certainement les dimensions d'un arbre dont la time se perdait dans les nuages. La bonne femme recta toute ebahie, et se perdait en conjectures sur la croi sance subite d'une telle tige de leve. Quant a Jack, s'etant assure de la solidite de la tige it resolut de grimperjusqu'en haut, dans l'esperance d'avoir plus de chance dans cette entreprise que dans la premiere. Sa mere ne le Nit pas monter sans eprouver quiques craintes ; mais Jack Is rassura. " Chere maman" lui ditil 'j'ai le presentiment que cette tentative tournera a notre avantage, ainsi ne vous tour mentez pas; j'ai du courage et de Pactivite, et je crois que le moment est venue de vous prouver que se suis un bon fils." Apres avoir monte quelue temps il atteignit la cime de l'arbre il en etait temps, car ses jambes etment fatiguees et ses mains n'avalent plus la fsrce de le soutenir. Il apergut alors une contree triste et deserts. Il y aborda, s'assit, et se mit a refiechir. Bientdt apres parut une fee couverte de vetements magnifiques et entouree d'une lumiere resplen dissante. Elle lui adressa, la parole avec bonte et lui dit, "Mon enfant, il fau partir a l'instant pour eller punir Pogre qui est votre ennemi le plus invetere. C'est lui qui a tue votre pore, et s'il vous a epargne ainsi quo votre mere c'est sous la condition qu'elle ne revelerait jamais ce qu'elle sait. Les richesses de votre pore sont cachees clans le chh teen de l'ogre. Ainsi done suivez mon conseil, partez et allez ace château." Ilse mit de suite en route et atteignit avant la nuit le vaste chateau de plants. I 1 frappa a la porte, et vit bientCt avec la plus grande surprise une femme de proportions monstrueuses, dont les gros yeux fixes eus sent suffit pour donner la chaire de poule. Cependant, mal gre sa laideur, elle n'avait pas un air refrogne, et elle sourit en regardant Jack. Le pauvre garcon essaya de balbutier quelques mots, qu'elle interrompit en lui demandant, d'une voix assez semblable au bruit d'un gong, ce qu'il voulait cotta heure avancee. Jack reprit un pen de courage en se rappelante ce que lui avait dit la fee. Il la salua avec beau coup de respect, et apres s'etre excuse d'avoir frappe' si fort a la porte il la aria installment de lui donner un morceau de pain et un abri pour la unit. " Vous no savez, °mere, mon clier pa it, ce que vous demandez. Je suis la femme du grand ogre a qui ce chateau appartient, et qui conque y entre doit y laisser la vie. Mais je vois avec peine que vous kes tres fatigue, et je n'auyai pas la cruaute de vous chasser. Vanes avec ruoi ; j'essaierai de vans cacher dans mon grand chaudren. Mais ne l'oubliez pas il faut que vans soyez parti avant la pointe du jour." Jack entendit bientot I'ogre qui rentrait, et qui d'un ton bourru demandait qu'on lui apportilt son souper. II appela ensuito sa panic, et lui commanda de poudre quelques oeufs d'or; ensuit it s'endormit, et se mit a ronfler. Le bruit qu'il fasait ressernblait au tonnerre. Alors Jack s'auentura a passer un pen la tete hors du chaudron et vit ces ceufa si brillants, qui n'etaient pas loin ds sa ported. Tout a coup il prit son courage a deux mains, s'elanoa hors du chaudron, empoehales coals d'or et avant attire very lui la poule it s'en empara et s'enfuit. II retrouva bientot son enorme tige do feve et descendit sans perlre un genie moment. Sa mere, qui le croyait perdu, fut enchantee de le revoir, mais ne put contenir sa joie en voyant son cher Jack sortir de sa !Ache sa provision d'ceufs d'or. Il lui raconta comment il s'en etait empare, et avec quel ernpres sement il les lui avait apportes. ," Le geant," continua-t-il, " s'eveilla, et se mit a courir apri'2s moi pour ravoir sa poule favorite ; mais mes jambes vailaient miens que les siennes, aussi suisje descendu do la tige sans lever les yeux, de pour die monstre mane de sa massue." Jack s'erupressa de clercher une maison commode et bien iniprovisionnee pour sainere; puis l'amour des aventures lui fit penser a la fameuse tige de feve, et il se decide a tenter une autre ex cursion. Ilse deo ' misa, et le jour suiyant it grimpa leste- Thent a la time de la tige et penetra adroitmement jusqu'a dans la chateau do l'ogre. Cette-fois ci it s'empera de la belle harpe du g,eant ; la harpe s'ecria " Maitre,rrnaitre.' Mais Jack gagna son arbre au plus vite, et avec I'aide des bonnes fees it s'esquiva avec l'instrumedt, sans avoir eta atteint par l'ogre, qui le poursuivait armee d'une grosse pierre. etat trop vif et trop agile pour se laisser prendre. Le geaut le voyant echapper a sa poursuite voulut aussi profiter de la tige do feve et se mit a descendre avec precaution. Mais Jack, qui etait arrive tres vite en bas, alla chercher une hacbe, et en quelques coups il coupa la tige par sa base, de sorte que l'ogre tomba a terra raids mart. Alors parurent les bonnes fees, qui dirent a Jack, " Aujourd'hui vous ayes venge votre pore etes riche, et vous, Sinai qui votre mere, aurez une existence heureuse, digne recompense de la per eeeverance et du courage que vous avez montre."

LIVINGSTON'S EXPLORATIONS IN TUE INTERIOR OF AnircA.—The indefatigable researches of Dr. Livingston have suddenly made us acequainted with one of the happiest people in the world, of whose very existence little was hitherto known in civilised Europe generally.— The province of Angola, Dr. Livingston writes in the "Jour nal of the Royal Geographical Society," possesses great fer tility and beauty, and its capabilities, both agriculturally and commercially, are of a very high order ; indeed, I do not fear contradiction in asserting it to be the richest in Western Africa. The great scientific traveller, who spent 16 years among this favoured people, has had ample opportunity of studying their physical and moral condition, and his details are most curious, They appear indeed to enjoy an Elysian felicity, requiring. neither physic nor the physician, for Dr. Livingston found their staff of life to be the Revalenta Ara bica Food, which keeps them perfectly free from disease, "con sumption, scrofula, cancer, &c., being scarcely heard of, and the small-ox and me as l es h ave no t b een k nown f or t w enty years."

(Conelocitd from The Son of the 21th.) The article which appeared in our columns of fuesday last merely described the routine of pro cesses followed in perfecting the manufacture of this remarkable engine of modern warfare. But the public, in order to appreciate the value of the in vention fully, have yet to learn somewhat of its relative weight, cost, range, accuracy, and the rate at which it can be produced compared with the old-fashioned, smooth-bored artillery—in short, all its essential qualities as a working gun. These qualities, of course, are the main facts of import ance connected with ordnance of every kind; in formation, therefore, concerning them may not be without interest at a time when the indefatigable activity of the War-office is bringing about a scien tific revolution even in our old muzzle-loading artillery. Now, as to the rate at which the Arm strong guns can be produced, it has been already stated that the Government, 10 months ago, pledged itself that the united exertions of the fac tories at Elswick and Woolwich should enable them to complete 100 guns within the last year. Before the close of 1859 upwards of 100 guns had been completed at Woolwich alone, where the work has been so constantly and so successfully urged for ward that the rate of manufacture has risen from 5 to 23 guns perweek. Up to the present time 113 12. pounder field guns are already finished there, and in all 220 are more or less advanced towards com pletion. All of these are 12-pounders, but as be• tween Elswick and Woolwich a sufficient number of guns of this calibre has either been already manu factured or is nearly finished to re-arm the whole of our field batteries, no more of this size are to be made, and both factories will in future concentrate their efforts on heavy, or at least much heavier ordnance. Supposing Woolwich to be able to con tinue at its present rate of 23 a week, we ought to have from this source alone upwards of 1,100 of the new guns before the close of the present year. Allowing for the delay consequent upon the heavy forging of the 25, 40, 70, and 100-pounder guns, such as are now soon to be begun, still Woolwich ought, and we have not the least doubt will, complete its 1,000 guns before next Christmas. From Sir W. Armstrong's own works at Elswick, in addition to a few heavy guns, two complete 12-pounder field batteries have been sent to China, with 21 12-pounder guns for boat service, for which from their extreme lightness they are most admirably suited. In addition to this 40 12- pounder guns for the field batteries are ready and only waiting to be forwarded to Woolwich for mounting. Two 40-pounder guns are being made per day; while the manufacture of the heavy ord nance has commenced with a 100-pounder, 10 feet 6 inches, gun, which is expected to obtain a range of 61- miles. Like Woolwich, the Elswick works have risen also in their rate of production, from about three: per week to 14, and there is no doubt but that at a pinch, even with their present staffs, Elswick and Woolwich could easily :turn out 40 completed gnus each week. To double or even to quadruple this weekly num ber the War-office would simply have to increase the machinery employed in every stage of the ma nufacture, which might so be extended to an almost unlimited amount. The rate of production at Wool wich is one gun for every three and a half worki ng hours, and one for each four and a half hours at Elswick. At both places, however, a single gun, from the time the rolling of the. No. 1 coils com mences till the finished piece is proved and paused examination, requires from six to seven weeks of constant and skilful labour. A great deal has been both said and written as to the expense of the Armstrong gun, which, it has been urged, is so excessive as almost to preclude its general adop tion throughout the services. Such reports are quite unfounded. It is, and always will be, an expensive process to supersede an immense amount of comparatively new artillery merely to substitute in its place a more efficient weapon ; but this is a tax always entailed on progress in any branch of manufacture. Gums of all kinds, no matter whether cast iron, an Armstrong, or a Whitworth, are manufactured solely to attain certain essential results, and the piece which attains these in the greatest proportion must of necessity always prove the most economical in the end. But, setting aside this obvious truism, the Armstrong gun is in every point of view, except, perhaps, that of mere first cost, the cheapest weapon that has yet been produced. Thus an ordi nary 12-pounder field battery gun costs, in metal and labour, about 1:200. Its utmost really accurate range is 1,400 yards ; its weight is 19 cwt., requir ing six horses to draw it in the field. his capable of firing 800 rounds of shot under favourable circum• stances, after which number, if it survives so long, it is always condemned and broken up, realising about half its cost as gun metal. The Armstrong 12-pounder gun costs about £250; its aim is accu rate at much more than 5,000 yards ; its weight is only 8 cwt., and it therefore only requires four horses to move it with the utmost rapidity. Some of those already made have actually fired upwards of 3,500 rounds of shot and shell, and are still new guns. For the number of shots in proportion to the cost of the gun, the old muzzle-loader cost ss. for every dis charge, the Armstrong only ls. 3d., though the former is ineffectual at three-quarters of a mile, and the latter unerring at two. The chief and most important saving, however, is in the smaller number of men it requires to work it, and, above all, in the - axing of horse labour. Only those who have seen he difficulty with which artillery is transported with an army can properly appreciate the import ance of reducing this the most formidable of all its many impedimenta. While still retaining the same strength the Armstrong gun could easily be reduced to almost half the weight at which it is now manu factured but there are limits to the amount of light ness which is desirable in these guns. The back ward recoil of the gun is in exact proportion to the velocity and force with which the shot leaves the breech, and even the 8 cwt. 12-pounder " kicks" to an extent that may render it necessary to strengthen considerably the present form of carriages for field artillery. It may sound strange to our readers, though it is nevertheless strictly true, that up to the present time Sir W. Armstrong has not manufactured any gun with a view of attaining a long range. The range of all the guns on this principle is of course immense, but Sir William's main and almost only object has been to secure perfect accuracy of aim. That this is attained, to an extent almost incre dible to those who have not seen the practice with it, is now admitted even by old artillery officers — the very last and most reluctant to confess that the gun was worth anything at all, or that a civilian could know much more than the difference between the breech and the muzzle of a cannon. Yet, in spite of this unfavourable opinion, so loudly pronounced at one time, the gunners who are used to the Armstrong declare that with it they would undertake never once to miss a man at a mile ! At one of the factories a strip of board is shown, 22in. long by 9in. broad, which, when the gunners were practising, was whitened over and put up as a target at a distance of three-quarters of a mile. Though only just visible at this great range, it was hit three times in four shots. At the Elswick works at Newcastle, a 100-pounder, about 11 feet in length, is being manufactured with almost the ex press view of attaining a long range. This piece, it is anticipated, will have an effective range over six miles and a half. All these tremendous results, it must be remembered, too, are accomplished with little more than one-half the charge of powder used with the present muzzle-loading cannon. This is due not only to the size of the shot itself, which al lows no windage, and so receives the whole explo sive force of the powder, but to the peculiar mode and pitch of the rifling. The Armstrong shot is of course conical, and about 23 diameters in length. At the shoulder of the cone is a ring of lead dove tailed into the iron, and a similar one at the base. These are both made about 1-16th of an inch larger than the diameter of the bore of the gun, so that the finest lines of the rifling are filled up, and no windage whatever takes place. With an ordinary muzzle-loading 32-pounder, weighing 56 cwt., it requires 101 b, of powder to hit at 3,000 yards' dis tance. An Armstrong 32-pounder, weighing 20 cwt., only takes 51b. of powder to send its ball nearly 10,000 yards. About this time twelvemonths the Government had a very large factory at Woolwich for the pur pose of casting the ordinary iron guns, which had previously been mostly obtained from private firms, more particularly from the Low Moor and Gospel Oak works, the guns from which were always con sidered the very best. Misled by false economy, the Government in an evil hour undertook to com pete with the private trade, and of course, they did so with precisely the same result that has always attended such competition in this country, from the time of Elizabeth's monoplies down to the present day. £90,000 was spent in erecting a factory at Woolwich, which was opened amid a tremendous flourish of trumpets as to what it would accomplish. But at the very outset the Government factory found, to its dismay, that it was not in possession of the secret of mixing iron used by the Low Moor people in making their guns, and that in conse- quence of this trifling deficiency the guns so made at Woolwich mostly burst in proving. Low Moor was courteously invited to impart its secret, which Low Moor, with the utmost sagacity and prudence, as courteously declined to do. So the Government set to work to analyse ores, &c., with a view to dis cover a secret of manufacturing skill, and much of which was also mainly due to the peculiar coal used at Low Moor works, which made theireeast lugs almost equal to the best charcoal iron. It is needless to say how utterly the attempt to pierce this secret by merely analysing the iron failed, and, the factory being at last discovered to be nothing more than a most costly and unproductive experi ment, the Government very wisely determined to put an end to it at once. The gun foundry accord ingly disappeared from among the large items in our army estimates, and the whole place was given over to Sir William Armstrong. Under his care, and backed by the zealous cup port of the permanent heads of the War-office, the whole of the immense plant and machinery, steam hammers, turning lathes and boring machines were at once converted at small expense to assist in the various processes by which the Armstrong gun is brought to perfection. So carefully and economi 'cally.has this been done that every single portion of the machinery is now converted to its new purpose at the cost of only a few thousand pounds. Thus then, as we have said, with this old plant renewed, Woolwich ought this year to turn out at the least 1,000 heavy Armstrong guns and Elswick 650—an immense addition (when the range and accuracy of this formidiable artillery are considered) to the de fences of the country. In the meantime the War office is turning its attention towards devising some method by which the immense store of old iron ord nance may be utilized to a certain extent by rifling them after the manner of the Freracb.---How the French have managed t o succee d i n this process it is difficult to say, inasmuch as all the guns that have been rifled in England (and they have been rifled after every known conceivable plan) have all, without a single exception, burst before their ex perimental trials were concluded. These repeated mishaps turned the attention of inventors in another direction, and it was sought to devise some method to strengthen the east-iron muzzle-loading guns now lying in thousands in all our arsenals, so as to enable them to bear rifling, and the immense addi tional shock created by the increased resistance to the projection of the conical shot. To this end a number of cast-iron guns of the ordinary size have been hooped round with rings of wrought-iron, shrurk on while hot. The effect of these two inches of w rought•iron outsid e th e cas t h as b een literally toincrease the strenth of the gun more than four fold. Thus, a 96 cwt. 68-pounder from Low Moor not unfrequently briaks at the proof charge of 281 b. of powder and one shot. A gun of exactly the same size and weight, only partly constructed with hoops of wrought-iron, bears a 281 b. charge of powder, and blows out a long iron roller weighing no less than five cwt. without bursting, and when they have burst under this tremendous test it has alway s been exactly at the spot where an opening or fissure was left between the wrought-iron hoops in rolling them in. There experiments have led the Government to require certain results from all inventions for rifling our common iron ord• nance, such as strength, comparative lightness, accuracy in aim, and length of range, though the latter is very wisely placed :ar subordinate in im portance to accuracy. There are now six new in ventions under the consideration of the War office, which all profess to attain, and which all do more or less attain, these essential conditions—viz., a gun of Sir William Armstrong, one by Comman der Scott, RN., one by Mr. Whitworth, one by Mr. Lancaster, one by Mr. Bashley Brittain, and one by Mr. Jeffries. Which will be the invention eventually chosen we, of course,. cannot pretend to say, though it is generally understood that the struggle rests between Mr. Whitworth and Sir William. The former gentleman has himself in vented a breech-loading cannon which for strength. simplicity, range, and accuracy is said to surpass even the Armstrong ; but this point will be set at rest in a few days, when a public trial of the gun will be made near Liverpool. But, whatever plan is adopted for the conversion of the iron ordnance into rifled cannon, it is known that it must be based upon the principle of hooping it with wrought-iron. The War-office, therefore, is taking time by the forelock, and, pending the de cision as to which of the many plans is best, is erecting a splendid range of foundries at Woolwich, for the purpose of working in the wrought-iron bands, while a large number of lathes have been constructed to be ready to proceed at once in turn ing the shot or shell, which, of course, will be of wrought-iron, and made with mathematical accu racy as to size. All these efforts are very praise worthy on the score of economy, and also as intended rapidly to place at the disposal of the country a large store of the most formidable kind of guns. But it is a more than doubtful question how far these cast iron guns are capable of being rifled at all, and it is well known that even with the addition of strength ening hoops only the solid 68's and long 32-pounders can be so treated. There should be no mistake on this head—that we, for the sake of a little economy in working up these old guns, should produce an inferior article at a very superior price. The gun must be above those suspicions of bursting which so unpleasantly attach to all cast-iron guns which have hitherto been thus tinkered, else our soldiers and sailors will be more afraid of their own ordnance than of the enemies'. Of these two greatest breach-loading guns which have yet been constructed—those of Armstrong and Whitworth—the latter, it is said, cannot be burst, while it is certain that no one has ever yet succeeded in bursting the former. Su immense, indeed, is the strength of the Armstrong gun, that a piece of iron cut from it at any part bears a tensile strain of no less than thirty-three tons to the square inch. It is a gun of such strength as this which is required, and which, if mere economy and the consumption of a large store of very second-rate material is the only object in view, it is doubtfal that we may get. The NV ar-office may depend on ono thing—that the only great danger they have to avoid is making second-rate no m a t ter weaponhow frem anything merel y great the inducement or how reasonable the hopes of better results. Let them seek only to attain the best weapon which can be obtained under the cir appercooa n cj o ii m n i g ca l to motives, a cir cumstances, and both the public and our naval and military service are sure to be satisfied. Judging of the future by the past, and looking to the im mense results the War-office has already achieved with the Armstrong gun, the matter may be con sidered to be in the best train, and we have not the least doubt but that the decision it arrives at will be one which the country and the services will en dorse. A few weeks will at the latest determine what kind of rifled cannon, in addition to the Arm strong. will be used, when our readers may depend on having early and accurate information on the whole subject. The attention of the public cannot be too often or too strongly directed to this ques tion of the improvement of our ordnance—a ques tion not inferior in national importance to the volunteer movement which this journal has done so much to originate and forward. The Government should neglect no effort to get, if possible, even a better gun than Armstrong's, and, if that is not to be accomplished, they must turn their energies to seeing that the country has an abundance of the artillery which their experience has proved to be the best.—Times. 1' ÜBLICATION S.

LEICESTER, JAN. 25.—There continues to be a good business doing in most descriptions of hosiery for the period of the year. The market is buoyant, and there is perfect confidence among the manu facturers. Future prospects are of an encouraging nature. At Loughborough and Hinckley there is a fair amount of business doing. Spinners are well employed, and yarns continue firm, without any disposition to recede in value. Wools arc making high prices. NOTTINCHAM, JAN. 25.—There is no improve ment in the lace trade, and many branches con tinue as dull as they were before Christmas ; in others, however, there is rather more doing, and there is every reasonable prospect of a thorough revival very shortly. There are a few tolerable orders for plain goods i n the market. The fancy trade is yet very dull. In the silk branch there is , but little improvement to note. here is a good amount of business doing in t he hosiery trade, many departments being entirely engaged, and th e trade generally is in a satisfactory state. A t Sutton-in-Ashfield, Mansfield, and other hosiery districts, trade is in a healthy state, yarns ar e fi rm , and make higher prices. In silk no material change.

The band of her Majesty'v. ship Victory was in attcnilance, and played a variety of airs during the proceedings pre liminary to the launching of the vessel, At 12 25 the master builder, Mr. Ahethell, placed the bottle of wine, which was suspended in the usual manner, in the hands of the Princess of Leiningen, who broke it against the ship's bows amid the cheering of all present, and the christening of the Prince of Wales was comp l ete. The workmen immediately commenced splitting away the blocks remaining under the ship's keel, and at 12 30 the cord beino b cut which held susp en d e d t h e p i gs of ballast, these descended in their channels and liberated the vessel from the dogshores. A few minutes more and she began to move, gliding easily into the water, ac companied by cheering from the crowds of people present, and the strains of the National Anthem from the Victory's band. The ship was no sooner clear of the shed under which she had been con• structed, than flagstaffs rose as if by magic from her dear, display - 111,g the Royal Stand4ud,.the Ad miralty Ensign, and the Union J wk.

It was, however, subseqeently determined that, with several others then on the stocks, she should undergo considerable alterations, necessary to adapt her to the " screw;" and for this purpose she was cut asunder amidships and lengthened about 50 feet; her stern was also lengthened as much as was necessary to enable her to receive her outer stern-post fur her screw-shafting and rudder.

The measles have broken out among the crew of the flag-ship Royal Albert, 121, in Plymouth Sound. Several officers and men have been sent ashore to the Naval Hospital. The paddlewheel steam-sloop Virago. G, Com mander Montagu B. Dunn, left Plymouth Sound on Tuesday afternoon, with supernumeraries for the fit at Portland. The l)evonport dockyard lighter Hamoaze, Wm. Webber master, having encountered a heavy gale, put into Padstow on Sunday, with sails split, boats stove, and ballast shifted. Capt. K. Barnard, of the screw steamship Nile, 90, at Plymouth, is obtaining hands expeditiously. Fifty A.B.'a entered on Sunday and 30 on Tuesday on board the flagship Impregnable. Topgallantmasts were sent up on Tuesday on hoard the screw steam-ship Revenge, 90, at Ply mouth. It is repotted at Pembroke that Capt. Ramsay, superintendent of the dockyard there, will bo one of the 24 captains to be made Admirals, and that C,pt. Tatham, commanding Milford district, will be his su-cessur. Letters dated Gibraltar, Jan. 13, have been re ceived at Plymouth from her Majesty's screw steam-ship Caesar, 90, Capt. T. 11. Mason. The gale just passed had been so severe that it was ne cessary to have three anchors down in the Bay and to keep steam up, so as to be prepared for any con tingency. After it had passed, two days were oc cupied in clearing the cables, which were much twisted by the storm. While superintending this duty her master, Mr. Brehaut, received a fracture of the leg, so severe that it became necessary to have him conveyed ashore to the hospital. It is stated that the condition of the boilers of the Caesar will not admit of her continuing on a foreign station 12 in Grant hirea g months longer. The Orion is ordered to Malta. Lieut. John P. F.
