of harbour yesterday in charge of Captain H. Calwell, C. 8..
and made a trial of her speed at the measured wile in
Stokes Bay. With full boiler power al* realised a mean
speed of over 11 knots an boar, and at half power of more
than raise, but considering the groat power of her engines,
1,04.0-herne, the trial war not considered very eatialactory,
although the machinery worked admirably. ln making a
turn as Spithead she ran foul of a barque at anchor, coal
laden, and bound for Palermo, and tudicted considerable
dams* to her upper rigging. The barque was afterwards
towed into Portsmouth harbour for the damage to be

tillery, who has been in the service upwards of twenty
tears, was yesterday placed wider arrest on a charge of
stadia, a quantity of timber, the property of the govern-
ment. ft appears that some days ethos numerous loads of
timber, consisting of planks. be., cut into various tavola,
was removed from the !loyal Arsenal to Woolwich-common
for the purpose of erecting a temporary buildieg tilted up
with mate for the acoomulatiou of spectators, to witness
the animal garrison sports ou Tuesday last. A det►chment
of Artillery was subsequently employed to take down the
' erection, the materials of vskich were of course ordered to
be returned to the military storekeeper at the Arsenal. In
cot.sequance of suspicions entertained, that the whole of the
property might not anise at its proper destination, a sharp
look out was kept by the militrery police and two detective
officers of the R division, named Crouch and Randall,
specially emoloyed by the War Department and Admiralty;
the result being that the prisoner, who is a sergeant-wheeler
in the regiment, was apprebeeded in the act of removing
planks to a workshop. On searching which, other planks
of a similar description were found.
