WOOLWICH, Avsmsr 27.

Him MAJESTY'S EMBARKATION AND WOOLWICH
Orricum.--Sileee the recut embarkation of ber Majesty
at Woolwich circumstances have aril= which fully prove
. .

that the stringent orders issued by the beads of mita
at the Royal All6Olll, excluding all visitors, and—Vriiiidinj
an of the clerks or workmen to view the royal cortege under
• of dismiseal, has been censured hr the Secretary of
tats for War, and disapproved by the Highest parsonage in
the realm. A communication has hese received by the
authorities at the Royal Arsenal from the War Depart-
ment, directing correct copies to be forwarded to the
Secretary of SUM for War of all orders lamed,
either jointly or seperately, by heeds of departments,
relative to bar Majesty's embarkation, for the par.
wee of a full investigatiou Into the matter. It
may be stated that about one hour previous to the arrival
of her Majesty at Woolwich. on the day of bar embarkation,
a telegram from the War Department was remised at the
Royal Animal expressive of disapproval of the very stringent
regulations issued, and several of the clerks, do., were then
allowed to leave the offices, but it was too late to rescind the
order geserally. and the result was that military officers in '
uniform of high position were refused admission to the
locality of the pier, each policeman on duty having been
furnished with • copy of the obnoxious order, as an answer
to all complaints ; and the lower panes of the windows at
the factories, on the line of route, were whitewashed, to
rawest the locked-in workmen from obtaining a glimpse of
the royal carriages as they passed. It is not at pelmet
known whether her Majesty will disembark at Woolwich on
her retorts from the contineet, but the alterations made at
the pier will remain until information is received on the
subject.
By direction of the Admiralty, the midis steam vessel
Hydra, now fitting out at this dockyard, will proceed, under
the charge of Lieutenant G. R. Wilkinson, to the Medi-
terranean, to take the place of the Medina, surveying vessel,
Captain Thomas A. B. Spratt, and the latter vessel will re-
turn to England. The Hydra has been fitted up in • most
complete manner as a surveying vemsaL
