wanted. A moment later, and nothing could be done. The lifeboat is a complete wreok. The oars were torn out of the hands of the crew and row locks, and the helpless boat .was thrown up and down like a ball in front of the sea-wall; and how the men kept in her at all is beyond the powers of imagination. Nothing could upset her, not even her dashing against the wall, where the sea was breaking at times 20 feet high. Mrs. Cockroft, of Searborough,las generously offered togive the cost of a new lifeboat. The proper coxswain of the life boat and the enrolled crew, except one, were absent at sea. Lord C. Beauclerk and Mr. Tindall were crushed to death." The National Lifeboat Institu tion has taken immediate steps to replace the wrecked boat by another powerful lifeboat, which is expected to arrive from London, by railway, at Scarborough in the course of a few days. Accounts of wrecks have been received from numerous lifeboat stations, but beyond the melan choly cases already reported, no loss of life is mentioned. The :Newcastle Chronicle, however, reports a sad occurrence at Sundr.a.land. A vessel had been driven ashore, and the crew took to the r i g ging. Three rockets were fired, but they all missed their aim. At this juncture (the ship lying not far from the shore) a young sailor seized the rocket line, and, running in with the retreating wave, succeeded in throwing it on board the vessel. The tide, unhappily, came round the vessel's stern in a " back sweep," and the poor fellow was swept out to sea. His comrade, who was behind him, was also caught in the sweep, but was rescued. The young man who was drowned belonged to Stockton. His name was Edward Welsh. 71101VEY 3141?KET AND G'l2 l Y IVEIVS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. During the last few days there has been rather less animation in the foreign hnd colonial produce markets, and prices generally have shown dimi nished firmness. Tea, however, has maintained former rates inferior qualities of sugar have slightly declined, while late rates have been barely maintained for coffee, rice, fruit, and saltpetre. Tallow has been in moderate request, at full prices for present and forward delivery. The commercial engagements of the 4th of the month having been liquidated, there is less demand for discount accommodation, and as the rates con tinue to range as low as 21 per cent., it is thought the directors of the Bank of England may at their meeting to-morrow reduce the minimum quotation to 3 per cent. Owing, however, to the extreme easiness already experienced, the subject does not appear to engage much attention in monetary and commercial circles. ' The directors of the Bank of Turkey have given notice that they are prepared to return £3 per share to all the shareholders who are unwilling to await the result of negotiations now pending with the Ottoman Government. There were again no bullion operations of im portance at the Bank of England yesterday. The bar silver by the Shannon, from the West Indies, has been sold at 601 d. per oz., and the Mexican dollars at 59:d. per oz. Rather more activity was exhibited in the Liver pool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were firm. The sales were rather above 5,000 bales. On the South-Eastern Railway there is a decrease of £2,294, and on the Brighton of £440, in the traffic receipts for the past week. A call of £1 10s. per share, amounting in the aggregate to £135,000, becomes due to-morrow on the Bahia and San Francisco Railway shares. At a meeting which is now being held of the shareholders in the Red Sea and India Telegraph Company, an active discussion is in progress in favour of accepting the proposals of the Govern ment on certain conditions. The English Stock Market opened this morning with an unfavourable tendency, and a decline of 1- per cent. took place, owing to several sales on speculation. Consols are 92i 93 for transfer and the 7th, and 931 i for December. Business, how ever, is very dull, and the impending settlement occupies the chief attention of the dealers and brokers. The New Throes and the Reduced have declined to 911 ; Bank Stock is firmer at 229 and 230 ; India ditto flat, at 225 ; ditto 5 per Cent. Loan at 104 105* ; Exchequer Bills, June, remain at 16s. to 17s. prem. A fair amount of business has been recorded in the Foreign Market, but prices generally show less buoyancy.

The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been of a very limited character to-day, and, in most instances, a downward movement has taken place in values. Great Western and North West ern have declined ss. ; and Caledonian, Eastern Counties, Great Northern, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, Midland, and North British, 10s. ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 15s. ; and South Eastern, £l. The Foreign and Colonial lines remained without any material variation, Great Luxembourg being dealt in at 91; Dutch Rhenish at 16; Bahia and San Francisco at 131 ; and Recife and San Francisco, 16. Great Western of Canada were steady at 91. Great Indian Peninsula improved to 1001, and East Indian to 1021, 1031. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are flat.

TO THE EDITOR OF THEmeeting -. Of the British n Saturday last, the 2d Teachers' Association was held o gn School Society's House, inst., at the British and Forei Borough road, Southwark. A paper was read by one of the members on " The Choice and Management of Pupil Teachers." The provisions of the "New Code," which refer to these young people, were made the subject o f comment, and it was very distinctly made manifest, bo th in the essa y a nd the disc uss i o n ' which followed, that, in the opinion of the meeting, the action of the new regulations would be very detrimental to the education of the labouring classes. Some of the friends of the new code have been - rejoici ng during the last week or two that the o pp osition to it was subsiding; but if the Ineeting:of Saturday is tobe taken as any indication of the general feeling of teachers, tho dislike to the code is becoming more and more intensified and deepened, as time is given for a more careful and delibe rate examination of its details. Mr. Chas. Mathews contradicts the report that he has quitted the stage. "That I am going," he says, "to try the experiment of an entertainment' is true, and I hope its success may be such as to give me a little respite from my dramatic labours, to which, however, in a short time I intend to return. As an actor I first sued for public avour, and as au actor I hope, when the time shall arrive, make my final bow."

COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before - Vice-Chancellor Wood.) COLMAN V. WEST HARTLEPOOL HARBOUR AND RAILWAY COMPANY. This was a double motion for injunction and commitment for breach of two orders of Court in this suit, The first order was made in July, 1860, for production of the com• pany's books, and the defendants evaded and delayed the order of Court by refusing excerpts or copies of entries in the books to be taken, The second order was made in this year for an injunction to restrain the publication of any copies that might be taken from the books of the company. Mr. Selwyn, Q.C., Mr. Rolt, Q,C., Mr. Giffard, Q.C., and Mr. Hawkins were heard on the motions. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor ordered production of the company's beoks within six days, and allowed the plain tiff inspection and examination thereof within other six days, on an understanding that no improper use will be made of the information thereby obtained, and allowed the further hearing on these motions to stand over until after the exa minations.

IVICKIUM. This was an action brought upon a policy of insurance effected on a ship built on the river Ganges. The vessel was '220 feet in length, with a beam of 50 feet, but so con structed to draw only two feet of water, but for the purpose of enabling the ship to encounter a sea voyage, a false keel was added, making her draught of water eight feet to pre vent her rolling over in the event of her encountering one of the squalls peculiar to the Indian seas. The vessel was lost, and the defence was that the ship had not been made seaworthy. The trial took place at Guild hall last term, and the jury, on the direction of the judge, returned a verdict for plaintiff for the full amount claimed. Mr. Bovill this morning moved for a rule calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why the verdict should not le set aside, on the ground that it was not sufficient that the vessel should have been reasonably fit for the voyage, in sured against it as sho could be, and that the Lord Chief Justice was wrong in so ruling. The question was whether the vessel was insured as a seaworthy ship. Mr. Justice Blackburn said the question was a very important one. The vessel was built for river navigation, drawing only two feet ; but, to enable her to encounter a sea voyage, she was supplied with an artificial keel. That being so, was she seaworthy within the meaning of the policy ? It was a point never decided. The Lord Chief Justice said the Court was of opinion that there ought to be a rule, but there certainly was no misdirection, as the jury were not directed at all on the point raised. Rule granted. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER. The Lord Chief Baron announced that the judges had fixed the following days for the hearing errors from the dif ferent courts : Court of Queen's Bench—Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov. 26 and 27. Court of Common Pleas—Thursday and Friday, Nov. 28 and 29, Exchequer Court—Saturday Nov. 30, and Monday Dec. 2. EXCHEQUER COURT. (Before Barons Martin, Channel!, and Wylde.) NORTH STIFIORDSHIRB LOAN COMPANY V. WITHAM. This court was occupied the whole of the early part of the morning in hearing Mr. Edward James's application for a new trial in this case; the point in issue being whe ther or not there had been due notice of dishonour of a bill of exchange to enable the plaintiffs to proceed upon it. The court was of opinion that the application ought not to be granted. Rule refused. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Sergeant Wheeler and Jury,) TIIE LATH ELECTION OF LOUD MAYOR-PEARSON V. MITOGERIDGZ. This adjourned case came on for hearing again to-day, the same legal gentlemen—viz., Mr. Pook for the plaintiff, and Mr. Iluddleston, Q.C., with Mr. Garth, for defendant --appearing. Mr. Huddleston, in opening defendant's case to the jury, said he hoped he should be allowed to reply upon the evidence. His Honour—lf I have the power I shall certainly per mit it, and then Mr. Pook will follow you. His Honour recalled the plaintiff, who said he was engaged by Mr. Acland in the street on the Saturday, but did not charge until Tuesday. Cross .examined Received instructions on Morday night, and began about 8 o'clock on Tuesday morning. His Honour would like to have the advertisement agent again, so that a question could be put to him. Mr. Pook—l will send for him. Mr. Huddleston said ho was much pleased with being allowed to reply, but he should not lengthen the case, as he should shorten his opening. He appeared for Sir Henry Muggeridge, who was only obeying the desires of Es com mittee in defending these actions. When a gentleman con fides his interests to the charge of his friends he feels bound to abide by their decision. As had been stated, the acts of the committee were spontaneous. Sir Henry Muggeridge was anxious to pay every man whose services were properly engaged on that day, and desired to raise no objection to the amount charged, but the defendant had fd it his duty to oppose this claim, and 79 others put upon him by Mr. Acland. The defendant had every confidence in the tri bunal before which he had come. If the jury found for the plaintiff, defendant would willingly pay every farthing. This will be a question of conflict of testimony. If Mr. Acland had any authority defendant would pay ; if not, defendant was not bound to pay for Mr. Acland's derelic tion of duty and disobedience of orders. There was no contract between plaintiff and defendant, but that need not be expressly between plaintiff and defendant. The learned counsel gave great credit to Sir Henry Muggeridge in coming forward yesterday, and backing up the acts of his committee. As to this case there was no doubt it was a pilot balloon sent up to try Acland's case. The great question would be Acland's retainer, and Acland appeared to rely upon the words used on Monday, " All right, old fel low, go to work." Well, Mr. Acland had been promised 50 guineas and that sum would be paid to him at any time. When his Honour came to sum up the jury would see the dis crepancy between the evidence of Acland and that of his nephew, and here Mr. Acland had given his evidence fairly enough. After briefly reviewing the evidence given by Mr. Acland, the learned counsel said that all along the committee had set their faces against expences, and it could not be said that the sum of £5OO mentioned had been adopted. Why Acland him sAf complained of the loss of time in consequence of the committee adjourning their decision from Saturday until Monday. Why the fact was Acland had no authority. Knowing that he had no authority to go to any expense, Acland engages the plaintiff on Saturday, although oven then the matter was hold in abeyance, even as to his own engagement; and that was borne out by /Wand's own testimoliy. if Longdon knew what was on the card put in, then defendant was out of court, but he (the learned counsel) would show that he did not. It was not likely Mr. Acland would have con tented himself without the card being initiated. The case on the part of Sir Henry Muggeridge was this, that the committee expressly told Acland not to incur any expense without the sanction of the committee. This would be borne out by more than three or four witnesses, and the committee were ignorant of the engagement of the plaintiffs in these cases. Now, Acland had not acted in a very ingenuous manner in this case, and it would be sworn that fifty guineas was all that was agreed to be paid. The committee did not want Acland to be engaged on the other side, but certainly he was never engaged as the agent of the committee. But the fact was that Acland was never authorised to go to any expense, and this would be borne out by the evidence. The learned counsel then proceeded to call his witnesses. The first witness was George Webb, C.E., who said he was present at the first interview between Acland and the committee on Saturday, and also on Monday, at the Castle. On Saturday no terms were agreed to; but on Monday Acland was offered 50 guineas as an adviser, but not as an agent. In cross-examination by Mr. Pook, he said that the com mittee informed Acland that the outlying districts were being canvassed by a person named Cooper. It was at all events a preparation for a canvass after the polling had commenced, and by two persons only. Witness ima gined they had been paid, but they have sent in no accounts. The committee, as a committee, have not paid them. Mr. Acland informed the committee that he had gained Western Wood's election for the City. Mr. Howden said four men would be enough to canvass the City. He first asked Mr. Acland, and then suggested four men. Knew nothing about electioneering tactics. (Laughter.) Mr. Pook--And a member of the committee. Witness—There was some talk about circulars ; I can't say to whom they were to go, I think to the out-voters. Mr. Howden said they could go more cheaply by hand than by post. Mr. Moore said it would be more ex pensive by hand. I never saw reports from our canvassers. On Saturday night Mr. Acland said it was imperative to go to work at once, as it was more to him to win than to Sir Henry Muggeridge • On leaving the room he said some words to the effect of, " Then neither of us is bound." Then Mr. Harker said, "If you are retained on the other side we must be satisfied." Have talked this matter over with Longdon, but have not compared evidence with him. On the Monday myself, Longdon, and Howden were present wlithaiAlclmanedmhiner a th f e th e e a c s o t m le m e i o t rn te r e n , i a ttz h ß e o w om as .

DESTROYING SIB CHARLES EISTLAICE'S WINDOWS.— THE NEW ACT ON WILFUL DAMAGE.—Thos. Brown, a lad, was charged before Mr. Beadon with wilfully breaking a pane of glass in the dining. room window of the residence of Sir C. Eastlake, the president of the Royal Academy, 7, Fitzroy-square. Mr. Tucker, butler to Sir Charles, said that on the pre vious night, about nine, as he was passing through Fitz roy-square, he saw the defendant's hand move and a stone go through the dining-room window of Sir Charles's resi dence, No. 7. He followed the prisoner and gave him in charge. Prisoner—l did it, and am sorry. Mr. Beadon—There seems to be a set made on Sir Charles Eastlake's house. It is a remarkable thing that it should be done a second time at the same house. [On the 28th October, two lads, named Robert and Edward Tiggle, were fined 2s. 6d. each for a similar act.] Inspector Garforth, E division, said he thought it likely that the defendant was connected with the others. Mr. Beadon asked the defendant whether he knew the others, and defendant said he did not. Mr. Beadon said it was an outrageous affair,and he should exercise the power now given him and commit the defen dant for one month with hard labour, and order him to pay the damage, or another month's hard labour. In another case, where a man named Edward Pence broke a window, of the value of 355., and also destroyed an urn, at the house of Mr. Robert Wilson, the Talbot, Goodge-street, Tottenham-court-road, Mr. Beadon said, hut for the interference of the com plainant, he would have sentenced the defendant to hard labour. In all these cases of wilful and malicious damage he meant, now the act was in operation, to commit with hard labour, besides making the persons pay for the damage done. It was a most salutary act, and people of the defen dant's class had better be careful what they were about. The defendant was then ordered t) pay 305., the amount fixed by complainant.

DEPARTURE OF PRINCE LEOPOLD FOR TIM CON TINENT.—Prince Leopold, the youngest son of her Majesty, left England yesterday for the south of France, attended by General Sir Edward Bowater, Lady Bowater, the Misses Bowater, and a physician. The Prince is to spend the rougher months of the year in a more genial climate than is to be found in the British isles. Prince Leopold was accom panied to the coast by his brother Prince Arthur, on whom the lion, Major Elphinstone was in attendance. The Royal party started from the London-bridge station of the South- Eastern Railway t,t 9.40 a.m. yesterday in a special train, under the charge of Mr. Cockburn, from the manager's office, Mr. C. V. Walker, the company's superintendent of telegraphs, being in ono of the carriages, provided with ap paratus for affixing to the wires in case of a necessity on the journey for prompt communication. The train arrived at Folkestone harbour station at 11.33, where Mr. Gordon Thomson, deputy-chairman of the South-Eastern Company, and Captain Boxer, R.N., harbourmaster, were in attend ance. The young Princes and their attendants immediately went on board the mail boat John Penn, Captain Pettiek, which had been provided by the Admiralty, in lieu of the Black Eagle, to convey Prince Leopold to France; and she steamed out of the harbour and made her way to Boulogne, where she would probably be in time for the Prince to take the special tidal train for Paris, arriving in that city at 7.25 last-night. When Prince Leopold had sailed Prince Arthur proceeded to Shorncliffo Camp, accompanied by Major- General the Hon. A, A. Dalzell, the general in command, and spent two hours in visiting the quarters of the officers and men, the hospital, the canteens, stables, etc., of the camp. Returning to Folkestone, Prince Arthur took the mail train, arriving at London-bridge at 5.45 p.m. THE DUBLIN TRIAL.—A rumour has been cur rent in Dublin to the effect that Agnes Wyles has been set at liberty in consequence of Capt. Prost, on whose evidence she was committed for perjury, having discovered that he was wrong in stating she sailed in his vessel from Dublin on tho 26th ult. It is very possible there is no truth in this report; but of the wide-spread publicity it has ob tained there can be no doubt. A new light of great power and brilliancy has been successfully introduced into the extensive factories of Messrs. Spill, the Government contractors, at Hackaey wick. Tho effect of this illuminative agency is almost equal to broad daylight, and by its means the most delicate colours, particularly those of a recent discovery, may be manipulated during hours which formerly were lost. These colours, although, associated mostly with fashion and its changes, aro already in great request for the more perma nent articles of furniture covered now so generally with vege table leather or A mer i can leather cloths, for which this firm is so higt,ly IHE NAVY. VALETTA, Oct. 30.—At this season of the year our harbour generally assumes a lively appearance from the presence of the fleet. During the past week the ships have begun to collect here from dif ferent parts of the Mediterranean for the purpose of refitting, &c. Her Majesty's screw line-of-battle ship Neptune, 86, Capt. G. P. Hornby, arrived on Saturday from Naples, followed on Monday by the paddlewheel frigate Terrible, 21, Capt. F. H. H. Glasse, C. 8., from the same place. On Tuesday the screw line-of-battle ship Marlborough, 131, Corn. T. Brandreth (bearing the flag of the Com mander in -Chief, Vice-Admiral Sir W. Fanshawe Martin, K.C.8., and having also on board the Cap tain of the Fleet, Rear-Admiral Sydney C, Dacres, C. 8.), returned to this island, also from Naples. The screw steamsloop Surprise, 4, Commander W. H. Whyte, which left port on the 23d inst., re turned with the Admiral's ship from Messina. The Marlborough left at Naples the screw line-of-battle ship Exmouth, 90, Capt. J. A. Paynter ; at Messina the screw line-of-battle ship Victor Emmanuel, 91, Capt. W. J. C. Clifford, C. 8.; and at Syracuse the screw line-of-battle ship James Watt, 91, Capt. E. Codd. The screw line-of-battle ship London, 90, Capt. H. Chads, and the screw frigate Liffey, 51, Capt. G. W, Preedy, C. 8., which for some time past formed part of the squadron at Naples, have been despatched to Corfu, where Capt. Chads, as senior captain, will take command. The screw line-of-battle ship Hannibal, 89, Capt. Farquhar, left Malta on Sunday for Corfu, to relieve the screw line-of -battle ship Queen, 86, Capt. C. F. Hillyar, which has been ordered to Malta. The screw gun boat Foxhound, 4, Commander the Hon. A. C. Hobart, is also shortly expected here from Patras. The screw sloop Pelican, 17, Corn. P. Brock, arrived on Tuesday from Spithead and Gibraltar. She per formed the whole passage, an unusually long one, under sail. In leaving the British Channel she came in collision, on a dark and stormy night, with an unknown craft. It was feared that loss of life was occasioned, as men's voices were heard in the water. The Pelican lay to all night and burnt blue lights, but nothing more was seen of the vessel. As she showed no lights she was supposed to be a foreigner. It was announced that the English, French, and Russian squadrons would leave the coast of Syria about Oct. Bth, but it appears that their stay, from some cause or other, has been prolonged, and that the British ships will not leave until after the arri val of the screw frigate Doris, 32, Captain Sir F. L. M'Clinteck, which took her departure from Malta on Friday last, to be stationed there as senior ship, with one or two gunboats. The screw line-of-battle ship Caesar, 90, Capt. T. Mason, will, it is said, pro ceed from Beyrout to the Piraeus of Athens. The screw frigate Amphion, 36, Capt. T. F. Birch, ar rived on Tuesday from the coast of Syria and Suda Bay (Candia). She left at Beyrout on the 11th the screw line-of-battle ships Casar, 90 ; Agamemnon, 91; Algiers, 91 ; Mars, 80; and the gunboat Lap wing, 4. The Gannet, 11, was at Suda Bay on the 25th. The Russian screw steam frigate Le Grand Admiral, 64, Capt. Stoffiegen (flagship of Rear- Admiral Schestakoff), arrived on Monday from Scanderoon. The screw storeship Supply, 2, Master- Cora. Ballisten, left on Thursday last for England. She takes home old stores and sculptures from Cy rene. The Rev. R. B. Howe, naval chaplain, took passage by her. The screw frigate Melpomene, 51, Capt. Ewart, left this island on Saturday morning for Tunis, to convey thither the English Consul-Ge neral, Mr. R. Wood, who has been absent for some time past on a mission in Syria. It is rumoured that a serious disturbance has broken out in Tunis. The presence of a British frigate in the bay at pre sent will be hailed with joy by the Christian popu lation. The Liffey, 51 ; Racoon, 22; and Lapwing, 4, are ordered home. Her Majesty's ships in port are the Marlborough, 131; the Hibernia, receiving-ship; the Neptune, 90; the Amphion, 36; the Terrible, 21; the Pelican, 17; the Intrepid, 6; the Surprise, 4 ; and the Hearty tug. The foreign ships are tho Russian frigate Le Grand Amiral. The Malta and Alexandria telegraph continues to work admirably. It has been made over by the contractors to the Go vernment engineer, and will be opened to the public on Friday next, the Ist of November. The screw steamship Sanspareil, 70, Capt. Arthur P. E. Wilmot, C. 8., at Plymouth, is spoken of there as likely to be employed in conveying the contin gent to Mexico, and Monday next is named as the probable day of departure. Orders wore received yestErday morning at Devon port to put into commission the screw steam sloop Greyhound, 17, with a complement of 170 men. The officers and crew of the Gladiator, G, will be turned over to the Greyhound, and will form the main portion of her crew. The Geyser, 6, paddle, sailed from Portsmouth yesterday for the Clyde, with fresh spars for the Black Prince, to replace those damaged by her re cent heeling over. The Stork gunboat, tender to the Excellent, gunnery ship at Portsmouth, yesterday steamed out of Portsmouth harbour with a flotilla of ships' boats under sail, and each carrying an Armstrong in its bows, with which a variety of evolutions were gone through at Spithead, The Edgar, 89, screw, Capt. George P. Mends, refitting at Portsmouth, is reported for service in the Mediterranean. The Admiralty yacht Black Eagle yesterday left Woolwich by an Admiralty order on special service. Commander Lysaght, in charge of the flagship Fis gard, at Woolwich, on Saturday despatched 112 able bodied seamen to Sheerness, to assist in manning the 51 screw steam frigate Phaeton, and yesterday he forwarded an equal number for the same purpose. Yesterday the shipwrights at Chatham dockyar commenced removing the launching cleats from the Rattlesnake, 21, screw steamer, in the fourth dock at Chatham, and also made preparations for coppering her. During the time she has been lying in the har bour since she was launched, her engines and ma chinery have been fitted on board by the contractors, Messrs. Ravenhill, Salkeld, and Co., and from the preliminary trial already made a very high rate of speed is anticipated when the steamer proceeds on her trial trip. The Rosario, 11, screw steam sloop, 150-horse power, was placed alongside the coal-ship in the Medway yesterday and commenced taking in her coals preparatory to going on her trial trip for the purpose of testing her machinery. The Dutch East Indiaman Constance, which came into collision with an American liner in the Channel while proceeding to Batai'ia with Dutch troops, and which necessitated her being docked at Sheerness, has had a thorough refit and the injuries she sus tained made good. She has been removed from the basin to the harbour in order to re-embark her officers and troops, who have been accommodated on board one of the vessels of war attached to the reserve during the time the vessel has been under repair. The Firebrand, 6, Commander J. Bruce, has re ceived orders to remain at Sheerness until the Orion, 90, line-of-battle screw steamer, Capt. J. B. E. Frere, is paid off, when she will embark that portion of the crew belonging to the western ports, and pro ceed to Portsmouth and Plymouth with them. Directions have been received at Chatham for the iron-plated steamer Resistance, 22, to be furnished with the following armament, in lieu of that previ eoauoshlyofordered - a n 1 a 2 9 68 f e - p e t o 6 u n i d n e c r h e s s m l o o o n t g h bore ; f o u r g o n o s pounder Armstrongs ; four 40-pounder Armstrongs, each of 32 cwt. ; and two 100-pounder Armstrong pivot guns. The screw steamships Conqueror and Donegal, preparing at Plymouth for a distant voyage, are ordered to w to ha s r h f i i p n guns, probably Armstrongs, from Hamoaze. The screw steam corvette Satellite, 21, was put into No. 3 dirk at heyham steam-yard yesterday morning to have her bottom cleaned before making a trial at sea, and being placed in the first division of the steam reserve; she is rigged, stored, &c. The screw steamship Aboukir, 86, Capt. F. A. Shadwell, C. 8., at Plymouth, takes on board super numerary seamen to fill vacancies in the fleet in the Mediterranean, where her stay will be short. Admiralty orders were yesterday received at Chat ham for the Severn, 51, screw steamer, 500-horse power, now attached to the second division of ti e steam reserve, to be brought forward for thofi rs t division, to replace the Phaeton, 51, commissioned by Captain E.
