favourite style. The papier Dacha ceiling ha. been
manufactured at Birmingham, while the whole of

ecuted by Messrs. Buchan and Son, of Southampton,
and the upholstery department was intrusted to
?desire. Perkins and Sone also of this town. A
portion of the wainscoting is executed in heit-grained

guished from the reel wood, except on the closest ex-
amination. The exterior of the ship is painted •
light white, the stern, bow, and paddleboxes respecti-
vely bearing rich massive gold ornamenta, the stem
especially being covered with &large eagle surrounded
by a trophy. Her steering compasses have been cor-
rected by Mr. Stabbing, and for the first time linos
her construction they are reduced to • mere nominal
amount of error. The crew are all composed of
Turks and Egyptians, but the engine department is
intrusted to the care of Mr. M'Alpin and four of his
countrymen.
At the request of the Viceroy, the Paid Gilead

March next, it being too late for his Highness to use
her during the present sewn in the Mediterranean.
The officers and crew am ordered meanwhile to re-
turn to Alexandria, whither they will proceed by the
Peninsular and Orieutal Company's mail steamers
Ripon and Sultan; and they are expected to return
to this oountry in a steamship built for the Pasha in
