&atom' BRIAD. —Daring the late cruise of the
first reserve ships it was found that the biscuit which
was issued to the men was not all that could be desired.
An order has now been promulgated which will
add to the satisfaction of the men, namely, that no
m .re biscuit in bags be issued to these slips. All
that will be taken on board is to be in tin lined cases,
so as to keep it fresh and crisp, and of that only
safihdent to provision the ship for fourteen days will
be kept on board. All biscuit in bags now on board
these ships is to be returned ma opportunity offers.

NAVAL Owen:try—Our attention has been
directed to the sadly neglected state of the Naval
Cemetery. With the exception of • few sheep being
turned in now and then to keep the grass down, nothing
whstever Is d to make the place look what •
cemetery ought to be. There are no paths of any kind. I
and as the various inscriptions on the tombstones are'
almost a tale in themssiver, and would be read with
interest by visitors, this is to be much deplored. Many
of those who lie in this burial-ground have either lost
their lives at sea or died in the service of their country,
and surely the poor fellows deserve a better resting.
