WOO/MIMI, OCT. 28.—The Garland, a. packet, Master-
Com. Luke Smithett, will be undocked this afternoon, and
taken out of the basin, having had an additional false keel
fitted to her, and her other defects made good.—The Geyser,
a. v., is nearly ready for commission, and is ordered to have
the following armament :—Upper deck: one 68-pounder
gun of 95 cwt., 10 feet long; one 10-inch gun of &) cwt., 9
feet 4 inches long, to be mounted on pivot slides and car-
riages ; four 32-pounder guns, of 42 cwt., 8 feet long (new
gun C), on Hardy's slides and carriages. On main deck:
one 32-pounder gun, of 56 cwt., to be mounted on a common
carriage, or slide and carriage, as required. This latter gun
is to be fired from the bow port on her main deck ; the port
itself, being on a plan recommended by Lord John Hay,
C.B , one of the Lords of the Admiralty. The Geyser
will thus be able to fire her gun right ahead, the port being
cut in the very eye of the vessel. It is evidently
au invention of great and obvious utility, as a
steamer in chase of a vessel can fire to great advantage, with-
out the necessity of rounding —The Kate, a. v., is ordered to
be towed to Deptford to be fitted for temporary service.—
The Birkenhead, s. v., now lying at Sheerness, is to have a
new armament, consisting of two 68-pounders of 95cwt., 10

ous kinds of rope manufactured at the different dockyards.—

The mist was again so thick this afternoon, that the racing, except
BA a eource of epeculation, was deprived of its interest. The
eulty under a hkh the jockeys laboured on the first and second days,
was obviated to-day by bush-harrowing the course on the flat, and
strewing tan parallel with it from the ditch to the Red Stand ; this
enabled them to keep the track, and prevented any fear of their going
out of the course. The racing commenced at eleven, and was nut
over until five.
