MONEY MARKET AND OMMERCIAL ENT X,LLIGENCR, TWELVE O'CLOCK. In the discount market to-day business has been 'ery quiet, and the rates have not undergone any chang e of importance. A further influx of gold took place at the Bank of England yesterday, amounting to £85,000, of which a small portion was in sovereigns. The Teutonia, from New York, has brought aPecie to the amount of £ll,OOO for Englaud, and £ l O,BOO for France. The Minden, with gold from Melbourne, has also arrived off Penzance, but the amount is not yet known. Nearly all the shares have been taken in the Great Cwmeymlog Silver Lead Mining Company, the capital of which is £20,000, divided into 10,000 shares of £2 each. A very important lode has been O pened upon in the bottom of the mine in the eastern part of the property, laying open many thousands of pounds worth of valuable ore. At the Stock Exchange yesterday the failure of a de aler was announced. His liabilities are said to be about £20,000, he having had considerable ope rations for the fall in Great Western Railway Stock an d in a variety of miscellaneous securities. It is asserted that he had about £lOO,OOO of Great Wes tern open, and that his inability to arrange this that has prfirm oduced his suspension. The result was RIM price of Great Western was temporarily Nu merous arrivals of specie have been announced n g the past week, the latest amounting to £720,891, including £26,394 from New York by t he Malta, £277,741 by the City of Paris, £4,800 13 7 the America, and £ll,OOO by the Teutonia.

The Alexandra, from New Zealand has brou g ht £14,496 ; the Celt, from the C ape a of Good Hope, £6,430 ; the Tanjore, from Alexandria, £7,750 ; and about £38,608 has been rece ived in s il ver f rom t h e C ont i nent. Th e ex ports ha ve been £5,86 to the East Indies and China, by th Syria ; and there have been remittances to the Continent, through private sources, estimated at £122 ) A -e Q 9—the total amounting to £128,435 fro opening of the new route to Paris, namely, in Feuch urc h- street v i a Th ames H aven and t Boulogne, has brought a considerable accession of traffic to the Tilbury and Southend line. The v eBB els employed are excellent, both in regard to .acco mmodation and to speed, and the charges are su c h as places it within the means of the humblest mechanic to visit the Exhibition. t A large m ee ti ng o f t h e cre ditors of the London, mbar, and Medit er ranean Bank (ordered to be Woun d r eceive up l as t year ) was h e ld on Thursday last, to a report and statement of accounts from the 4:4 "Cial liquidators, Sir Thomas Parkyns, Bart., and Mr. James Cooper (of the firm of Johnstone, Copper, Wintle, and Evens), as to the complicated questions arising out of the amalgamations between 18 , bank, the Continental Banking Corporation, an th e London an d M e dite r ranean Bank. After 4 le ngthy discussion as to the course to be pursued avoid the consequences likely to ensue from the _c°lltinuance of the three separate liquidations, a steps of creditors was appointed to arrange for some combined scheme of liquidation. % W it h regard to the tea trade, the annexed is from e fortnightly circular of Messrs.

Account HE VOLUNTEEt4 REVIE IV AT DO VEP The report made by Major-General M'Cleverty to his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief respecting the Volunteer review at Dover on Easter Monday was issued from the War-office yesterday. After enumerating the troops on the ground, regu lars and Volunteers, the number of guns and ships of war, and giving a detail of the operations, the Major-General concludes as follows : " I have the agreeable duty to make a most satisfactory report on the general state and effi ciency of this large body of Volunteers. As regards the whole of the battalions, I would congratulate them on the great attention paid to cadence of step, equipment, and firing. Their almost universal steadiness in marching past his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief could not fail to elicit the approbation of all who witnessed these loyal citizen soldiers devotieg their time and energies volunta rily to an arduous day's duty, and vieing to a most successful degree with her Majesty's troops in training and steadiness under arms. Their move ments in the field, which occupied the greater portion of the time, were such as to deserve high commen dation ; in most instances the deployments, move ments in line, and firing were executed with suit able rapidity and regularity ; it is, therefore, most satisfactory that nearly 24,000 of the volunteer force of England conducted their movements in so efficient a manner that actual warfare, whilst under fire, would soon teach such troops to take advan tage of the configuration and irregularities of ground, and look to their formations in line over a more extended space of country than our limite I time would admit of. "In the defences of the castle and forts, Colonel Elwyn, commanding the Royal Artillery in the dis trict, informs me that, from the reports of the lieutenant-colonels of the Royal Artillery command ing in these detached works, he is afforded peculiar pleasure and gratification in bearing testimony to the remarkable efficiency of the volunteer artillery in this district, as reported in his periodical inspec tions, and showing that those in other districts have been well trained to the service of heavy ord nance. 44 The artillery in the fiolrl having boon under his observation, he adds, that the manner in which the light guns were manoeuvred and served by the volunteer artillery was most creditable ; that the service and management by the Administrative Bri gade of Cinque Ports Artillery and the 3d Middle sex Artillery of the brigade of heavy guns was most satisfactory. The opinions of the Royal Artillery field officers who commanded are that the Volun teer Artillery force would prove a most valuable auxiliary body. " Where attendance is voluntary I abstain from selecting individual corps, but the battalions gene rally turned out in such numerical strength and equipment as must have taxed the energies of com manding officers, their officers, and men ; by their collective exertions they appeared on the ground so creditably and soldierly at a distance from their homes, and returned in a well-organised manner. " To the various officers both of the regular and volunteer forces my best thanks are due for the zealous manner in which orders were carried out and the disposition of the troops and operations were executed. To those in the racks my thanks are equally due. " I would solicit his Royal Highness the Field- Marshal Commanding-in-Chief to convey to the birds Commissioners of the Admiralty his approval of the material co-operation of Captain Commerell, of her Majesty's steamship Terrible, and of the officers and men of her Majesty's ships employed, and the sense the volunteers entertain of the advan tages which resulted from their combination in the attack on Dover Castle and its adjacent defences, — I have, &c., _ (Signed) "W. A. APCLEvEnTY, Major-Gen. Commanding South-Eastern District.' " HORSE GUARDS, May 4. " Sir,—ln forwarding the accompanying report of Major-General M'Cleverty of the proceedings at Dover on the occasion of the recent volunteer re view, I am most happy to express my fullest con currence in the remarks which he has made. " I was much struck by the great improvement which I observed during the marching past of the force, in many of the minor details of organisation ; and the admirable regularity with which every corps passed the saluting point was worthy of the highest approbation. " The regularity with which the different corps were brought down by the railroad companies reflects the greatest credit on the staff of those com panies ; and the general arrangements made by Colonel Erskine and his assistant-inspectors, for collecting so large a body of volunteers from such long distances, and ensuring their arrival at the appointed time and place, deserves my warmest commendation. " The co-operation of her Majesty's navy, under Captain Cornmerell, added greatly to the effect of the day's proceedings, and I heartily join with the Major-General i❑ his request that the Lords Com missioners of the Admiralty may be informed of the gratification experienced, both by the army and by the body of volunteers on the ground, at the pre sence of a portion of the fleet.—l am, &c. (Signed) " GEORGE. " The Right Hon. Sir John Pakington, Secretary of State for War." " War-office, May 23. " Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Royal Highness's letter of the 4th instant, enclosing a report from. Major-General M'Cleverty on the review which took place at Dover on Easter Monday. "In reply, I have to express my satisfaction at the favourable opinion formed by your Royal High ness, as well as by General M'Cleverty, of the steadiness and efficiency of the volunteers who took part in the review. " I have to add that I have had much pleasure in forwarding to the Admiralty copies of your Royal Highness's letter and its enclosure.—l have the honour to be, sir, your Royal Highness's obedient servant, (Signed) " J.

It appears that a few days age the deceased was engaged on the South-Eastern Railway, near the Red-hill station, when he saw a train coming along, and before he had time to get out of the way the poor fellow was knocked down by the engine, and the wheels of the train passed over both his legs and cut them off. Deceased was at once picked up and placed in the carriage of another train and conveyed to London-bridge, and then to the above-named hospital, where ho lay and expired from the effects of the injuries sustained. The inquest will be held on the body this evening. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) THE,LAW OF THE RIVER THAMES—IMPORTANT QUESTIONS l`wo very important questions were raised before his Honour (Mr. Commissioner Ken•) this morning in reference to the custom of the traffic on the river Thames. In the first case, Bruce v. Allen, the plaintiff, for whom Mr. Farn field appeared, was a barge owner of Dartford, and defen dant, for whom Mr. Green appeared, was a river pilot Plaintiff claimed damages, in consequence of his barge Fanny being run down by the scea• steamer Herald while the latter was in charge of the defendant. The question raised was wheth:tr plaintiff was bound to drop his anchor at a certain spot, but Captain Janie, Vie harbourmaster for the port of London, state 1 that the steamer was ill CI wrong, awl had run down the but-at which was not bound to drop its anchor. Ifis Ikmour found for the plaintiff iv th ccsts. In the second case, Watkin v. Alms, Mr. Parnftehl ap peared for the plaintiff, who sought to recover damages sustained through the sinking of his barge. Mr. Cottams, for defendant, pleaded that, his cheat was not liable. It appeared that defendant was the owner of a cyrtain hulk which had been anchored i❑ the river. Plaintiff's - barge was moored to this hulk, and one of defendant's men un moored it and took it to the stern of the hulk, where be fastened it. in a gale that arose the barge sank. Plaintiff contended that he had a right by custom to moor to hulks, but Captain James said there was no such custom, although barges were frequently so moored. _ _ . His Honour nonsuited plaintiff upon the ground that he had no right to moor his bargo to tho hulk. POLICE IN TELL IGENCE.—This Day. BOW STREET. CRUEL ASSAULT. ON A CHlLD.—Eliz a beth Brennar, dissipated-looking woman, was charged with a savage assault on Emily Richards, a child of about five years of age. _ _ A young woman, named Rebecca Williams, stated that on the previous evening she was passing along Endell street, and saw the prisoner sitting on a door step. She was very drunk. She suddenly jumped up in a fit of fury, seized upon a little child that was playing in the street, and dashed it upon tha.pavement. The child got up cry ing and ran away. She then rushed upon the little girl Emily Richards, and seven times lifted her and dashed her upon the flagstones in the same manner. Witness gave her into custody. The other child had a black eye. The child's mother, a decent woman, the wife of a me chanic, stated that the child had a large swelling at the back of he head produced by the fall. The prisoner said she was drunk, and did not know what she was doing. In answer to the magistrate, Redstall, the gaoler, said the prisoner had frequently been charged at this court with drunkenness and disorderly conduct. The magistrate observed that the case was one of pecu liar inhumanity, which he felt he could not deal with in the ordinary way. He should convict the prisoner under the Aggravated Assaults Act, and sentence her to six months imprisonment, with hard labour. THE COTTON FAMINE FUND. The Earl of Derby, as chairman of the Central Relief Committee which was established for the as sistance of the unfortunate operatives in Lancashire and the manufacturing districts who were thrown out of work in consequence of the American war, received an influential deputation yesterday after noon from the National Freedmen's Aid Union of Great Britain and Ireland, which had waited upon his lordship to represent to him how suitably the terribly exhausted and famine stricken condition of the cotton-growing centre of the southern part of the United States may be made an object for the use of the surplus funds in the hands of the Lanc.ishire Cotton Famine Fund Committee. l'ho district in question embraces a belt of land about 600 miles long, and varying from 150 to 200 miles wib, beginning at the Mississippi, above New Orleans, and extend ing in a north-easterly direction, and terminating in the western portions of North and South Carolina. It includes an area about equal to three times that of Ireland. The population is about a million and a half —more than one-half of whom are coloured people. It has been termed " The Burnt District;" because almost every green leaf was scorched as by fire during the drought of last summer, when no rain fell on the district for nearly three months, while. the crops needed it most. The whole of these amounts, said the committee in the circular conven ing the deputation, would form but a partial re quital of that beneficence of America to Ireland de scribed, in 1847, " as manifestations of generosity and charity of a nation sprung from the same origin as ourselves, which her Majesty the Queen has seen with the highest satisfaction." The deputation assembled at the Premier'a official residence, and included representatives from committees for the, relief of the operatives during the cotton 'famine. which had been formed in various towns; and amongst others, from Dublin, Edinburgh, Birming ham, N'eweastle, , Belfast, Lanbaster, Leeds, Manz,' cheater, and Brighton. There were present Sir_ T. Fowell Buxton, M.P., President of the Association; Lord Frederick Cavendish, M.P., Mr. E. Baines, M.P., Mr. S. Gurney, M.P., Mr. T. Bailey, M.P., Mr. J. Pim, M.P., Mr. D. M‘Laren, M.P., Hon Arthur Kinnaird, M.P., Mr. White, M.P., Mr. Bee croft, M.P., Mr. P. Taylor, M.P., Mr. Pease, M.P., &c. Sit T. Fowell Buxton, M.P., introduced the deputation to Lord Derby, and explained the object they had in view in waiting upon his lord ship. They believed that such a disposal of the surplus fund would not only be most useful and beneficial, but at the same time one which would be esteemed by the American people as an exceedingly graceful one. Addresses from the Freedmen's Union, and also from the former Irish famine committee, were pre sented to Lord Derby by the secretary (Mr. Al bright) and a gentleman from Dublin. Mr. Alderman Manton, Dr. Raleigh (Congrega tional minister), the Rev. Mr. Minton (Church of England), the Rev. Sella Martin, Mr. Pim, M. P., the Hon. A. Kinnaird, M.P., Mr. King, of Balti more, U.S., severally addressed the Premier in sup port of the application. It was represented that in their opinion the best way to accomplish the matter would be by a short Act of Parliament. The SECRETARY said he had a letter from the Rev. W. Arthur, president of the Wesleyan body, expressing his approval of it. Lord DERBY, in reply, said—Gentlemen, I. have listened with the utmost attention to the statement and arguments which have been brought before me by this numerous and very influential deputation, and I have no donbt that whenever an opportunity occurs of bringing the matter under the considera tion of the Central Committee of Relief at Man chester it will receive their fullest consideration. But I am afraid, as far as I am personally con cerned, I cannot hold out any expectation that, during the present sitting of Parliament, my other engagements will allow me to attend at Manchester, for the purpose of holding such a committee meet ing. At the same time I can have no objection to a meeting of the committee being held to consider the subject even in my absence. I cannot certainly 'conceive it possible that I shall find time to go there. I regar,d as a very important question the disposal of the surplus fund now remaining in the hands of the general committee. There is no doubt that you have put a very strong case in the representations which you have made, but as regards the expediency of it you must recollect that the 'central committee are trustees for the donors at large, and that it is impossible for them to pronounce for any specific mode of disposing of it unless theyl have the sanc tion of the donors for their action. It will be ne cessary for them to ascertain more than could be ascertained by the expression of views OR the part of this deputation what would be the wishes of the great majority of the donors. I mentioned to Mr. Albright, in February, that, according to the best advice we have taken, it is clear we have no power of disposing of the surplus except under the sanc tion of the Court of Chancery, upon a scheme laid before it by the central committee. You propose to get rid of the difficulty through an act of Parlia ment; for the purpose of carrying out the views of the committee. The SECRETARY (Mr. Albright)—Or the views of our Freedmen's Aid Union, if the central committee should so adopt them. Lord DERBY--To carry into effect the views of the committee, it would be necessary for the com mittee to ascertain what are the views of the great majority of the donors, and of those who have paid up the full amount of their subscriptions. Under these circumstanc3s I do not think it would be right for me to express any opinion whether the mode which you propose is the most perfect for complying as nearly as possible with the original intention under which the subscriptions were given. You are aware that other modes of disposing of it have been suggested. There is a proposition made for the establishment of a local hospital for the relief of working men in the midland districts ; and another, that those who had paid up their subscriptions in full should receive back what would be an equitable portion, according to the amount of their original contributions. That is a question which also de serves serious consideration. If this be adopted, there is no difficulty in the way of thoie Who have so contributed and have received back their pro portionate amounts, applying it to the purpose stated or to any other; but that would be a matter for Weir own discretion. I cannot help thinking that thde might be differences of opinion respect= ing the proper and best application of the surplus. As I stated, it would be inexpedient that I, as chair man of the central committee, should state any per sonal opinion up3n this occasion. I can only say that, if I have the opportunity of being present at the meeting of the committee, I would fairly; and deliberately, and impartially consider what I might deem to be the best mode of disposing of it--(bear, hear)—and if I should be in a minority, I should readily yield my opinion to that of the majority of the committee, with whom 1 have always had the happiness of acting in the most perfect harmony. Nothing has ever disturbed that harmony. (Hear, hear.) I feel bound to yield my own opinion to that of the majority. Without the opportunity of consulting with those gentlemen it would be iinpos possible for me to state more than I have. I have listened with the greatest respect and attention to the statements which you have made, and 1 can assure you that they will receive my best considera tion whenever the committee meet. The deputation, having thanked the noble earl, withdrew. RATCATCHERS ON STRIKE.—In and about London, Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Sic., lately . there have been a great many,matches at rat-killing, and many more are in prospect. Taking advantage of this circumstance, the.rat catchers have for a few weeks past complained of the diffi culties they have experienced in procuring the vermin in sufficient numbers to satisfy the requirements of their em ployers. Au order was sent from Bristol last week to Wolverhampton—that town being, we suppose, the grand emporium of the trade—for a large supply of rats. There were but few to be had, and those of the smallest size. Birmingham, Walsall, and other places wore tried, but without success ; and in despair another and more impera tive order was forwarded to Wolverhampton. A day or two passed by in anxious suspense, and late on Tuesday evening last the looked-for answer arrived. It was utterly impossible to obtain any rats, for * the ratcatchers had struck, and demanded a uniform price of 4s. 6d. per dozen, irrespective of size or quality ; and this price, the em ployers said, they could not afford to give.— Western Daily Prcu. THAMES. CRUELTY TO A HORSE. —Henry Lem son, a carman, aged 28, of No. 3, Wright's-buildings, Salmon-lane, Limehouse, was charged at the instance of Mr. Love, chief officer of the Royal Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Ani mals with working a horse in an unfit state. Matthew Johns, a police-constable, No. 217 K, saw the prisoner driving the horse in a cart. Tho animal was in a state of great suffering, and in very poor condition, with broken knees in front of the fetlock joint, cut, and a leather boot on the inside of the near hind hoof. There was a wound under the leather in a very bad state. The horse belonged to a Mr. Parsons, contractor, of Gun-lane, Limehouse. The prisoner said he was not aware the poor horse was in such a bad state when he took it out to work. His master was very ill and could not leave his room. The prisoner was liberated on his own recognisance till Wednesday, and a summons against his master ordered. SCANDALOUS TYRANNY TO A WORKMAN.—A poor man renewed an application to Mr. Partridge which he had made to Jgr. Paget on Friday evening, when a warrant was pro forma granted, but there was not time to make out the necessary process. The applicant is a sailmaker. A few weeks since the men in the workshop where he was em ployed were on strike. He refused to join the combina tion, and was driven out of the shop. He had not been employed since. One man, named Edward Baldwin, had been very spiteful, and threatened hint in the club-room of the benefit society when ho was paying his contributions to the funds, and said he would be the death of him. Baldwin also threatened to servo him out whenever he had an opportunity, pushed him against the counter of a pub lic-house, and pushed his glass of ale over. Mr. Partridge said he would grant a warrant for the apprehension of the offender Baldwin. WESTMINSTER. SIX CHARGES AGAINST A MAN AT CHEMORNE.—ThOMS Brown, a cabman, was charged with a series of offences at Cremorne Gardens. Police-constable Potter 162 T, said that at three o'clock that morning he was at the water-side entrance at Cremorne, and saw a gentleman and two ladies get into the defendant's cab, which was standing there. The gentleman asked what he would charge to St. James's square, and defendant replied 58., but in a few minutes after this he told the gentleman he should not go unless they gave him 10s. He produced a badge for his number to be taken, and the Waterman coming up at that moment said that the false badge now prodaced by the man had been missing some time. Defendant then rushed away and would not take the fare. He afterwards returned, saying he bad no badge, he was the proprietor. Witness saw defendant was very drunk. He made a severe kick at the waterman's stomach, and kicked witness violently in the lower part of the stomach, and also kicked Clarke, another constable. He was very violent. Defendant said he got no money for the cab at the rank, so he wont out with it himself, as ho was the proprietor. The police said the name of the owner of the cab was Thomas Cooper. William Henry A bbott, a waterman, proved that the de fendant had used a foul badge. Defemlant said ho had not got one of his own. He drove to Fulham. Police-constable Clarke showed that the defendant kicked him. Defendant said he was seized roughly and taken away from his cab just as he wanted to see all things straight. Mr. Selfe—There are no less than six charges against you. For being drunk, for driving without a badge, for an attempt to extort money, and for three distinct assaults and he thought the case a very bad one. Defendant—l hope you will look upon it leniently. Mr. Selfe—l am sure I will not. On public grounds I consider it my duty to punish you severely. Committed for six weeks without a fine. MARKETS.--This day. -~- COVENT GARDEN.

During a strong breeze yesterday afternoon (reports Captain Preston, R.N.), a brig was ob served to take the ground on the bar of the Stan ford ;Channel. The Lowestoft and Pa,kefield life boats of the National Lifeboat Institution were thereupon launched, and proceeded to the spot. The first named boat took four men off the taffrail of the vessel, and the other lifeboat rescued the remaining ten from the rigging, and they were safely landed. The brig .was the Amicizia, of Genoa, bound from Newcastle to Savona with a cargo of anchors, chains, and coals. She has since become a total wreck. Naval and Military Intelligence. • The Black Eagle paddle yacht, Staff Commander Whiffler, steamed out of Portsmouth harbour to Spithead on Thursday, and made a couple of hours trial under steam to test the working her paddle wheels after repairs. The trial was satisfactory, and the Black Eagle afterwardS returned into Ports mouth harbour to complete her refit. The screw iron troopship Simoom,.Capt. Thos. B. Lethbridge, was taken out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday morning under steam to make an official trial of her engine=, capstans, anchors, chains, &C., after a refit on return to England from a round of foreign troop service. The trials were highly satTs factory: The engines of this ship were constructed for her in the steam factory of Portsmouth dock yard, from the ebsigns and under the superintend ence of Hr. A. Mumty, the:iuperintenlent engineer of her Majesty's navy at Portsmouth. They were supplied for her last voyage, and from the time of the ship leaving Spithead, at the comanneernent of the voyage, until her return ';o the same anchorage at its completion they were kept constantly work ing. During the whole of this time they worked per fectly and without the slightest accident or want of repair to affect their working, and drove the ship a total distance of 38,746 To-day being appointed for the celebration of her Majesty's birthday, the dockyard and other public establishments at Portsmouth and Chatham were closed. On Southsea Common the troops will pa rade at noon and fire a feu de joie, the ships of war in the harbour and at Spithead, in commission, with the saluting batteries of the land fortifications at the same time firing Royal salutes froni their ordnance. Capt. Bertelli and the officers of his Italian Ma jesty's ship Eurydice, now - anchored at Spithead, paid a visit to Portsmouth dockyard on Thursday, and in the evening were entertained at dinner by ;fir.._ L. A. Vandenburgh at the Consulate. The Eurydice will sail' from Spithead this mOrnino. for Cherbourg. The sailing Indiaman the Sir Jamsetjee Family, Capt. Wilson, belonging *to Bombay, arrived at Spithead on Thursday afternoon from Bombay, bringing the following invalided troops from her Majesty's regiments serving in the Presidency, who were disembarked from her yesterday morning and conveyed to the Royal Victoria Military Hospital at Netley :-166 non-commissioned officers and men, 13 women and 31 children, accompanied by Lieut. W. Stirke, 14th Brigade Royal Artillery ; Lieut. Power, 6th (Inniskillen) Dragoons ; Lieut. Blair, 102 d Regiment ; Lieut. Isaacson, Ist Royals ; Assist.-Sorg. Kilroy, 14th Brigade Royal Artillery, and Mrs. Kilroy. The ship sailed from Bombay on the 2d February, and passed St. Helena April 5. The armoured iron frigate Warrior, after having satisfactorily tested the working of her engines on Wednesday off Spithead, anchored there for the night, and ou Thursday was partially manned with men lent from the Minotaur, who were engaged on board during the day in testing the working of the ship's capstans, anchors, chains, &c. She has re turned into Portsmouth harbour from Spithead to complete her outfit for commission. The work of constructing the steel boat, ordered to be built at Chatham Dockyard, to be used by the exploring party about -to be despatched from this country to search along the rivers and lakes in the interior of Africa for traces of Dr. Living stone is being hurried forward at that establish ment. A few days will now suffice for its com pletion, when it will be taken to pieces and de spatched from the dockyard in readiness for ship ment on board the mail steamer leaving on the 9th proximo, which also takes out the exploring party. The designs for the boat, furnished by Mr. E. J. Reed, the Chief Constructor of the Navy, con templated its being made of prepared steel plates, put together in half sections by screws and bolts. Owing, however, to the delay in procuring a supply of the requisite steel plates, the Admiralty decided on having the boat constructed of the best charcoal iron pieces; but a sufficiant quantity of the steel plates having been furnished in the meantime by Mr. E. Deans, of Arthur-street, east, the patentee, the boat is being built as originally ordered. Its length is 30ft., and breadth, from gunwale to gunwale, Bft., the weight being rattier more than one wn. 'rue plan of construction adopted by Mr. Ree I will enable the boat to be taken to pieces in a very short time, and packed for conveyance across the country by the negroes who will be engaged for that purpose. The principal advantages obtained by constructing the boat of steel plates is iu its possessing a maxi mum amount of strength with a minimum of weight, while the steel plates, which are 1-14th of an inch in thickness, are so exceedingly ductile that they may be bent almost to any shape, without fear of injury. Although steel plates for ships and boats have been largely used by other Governments, we believe this to be the first instance in which the Ad miralty have adopted that material for the construc tion of a boat. Should, however, the results follow which the patentee claims for the steel plates there is no doubt they will hereafter take a prominent part for ship and boat building purposes. Mr. Young, one of the warrant officers attached to the Royal yacht, who formerly spent a considerable time with Dr. Livingstone in his African explorations, will have charge of the expedition ; he is in constant at tendance at Chatham dockyard, superintending the construction of the boat, in order to obtain a coin plete knowledge of the manner in which it is fitted together and taken to pieces. A number of shipwrights and other workmen at Chatham dockyard are employed in laying down the launching-ways, and making prep arations for the launch of the screw gun vessel Myrmidons, 4, 200 horse power (nominal). It is ordered to be launche I on the sth of June. The Myrmidon has the whole of her engines and machinery fitted on board. The Lords of the Admiralty have awarded the annual gratuity of £5O to Mr. G. Penny, one of the foremen of shipbuilders at ChathAm dockyard, in appreciation of his services in expediting the construction of the ironclad turret ship Monarch and the other vessels he has superintended building in that dockyard. The Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief has approved the following alterations and appointments at Chatham garrison :—Capt. W. M. Frobisher, 31th Regiment, to be attached to the depot of that corps; Capt. N. Kirkland, 106th Bombay Light In fantry, to be held in readiness to proceed from Chatham to Calcutta, to join the head-quarters of that Regiment; Capt. A. W.
