me screw steamer Reindeer laid down at this dockyard
severalyears since, and originally intended for a 17-gun
crew corvette, unartnoured, was launched this afternoos
from No. 2 heath's* slip, in the presence of a large number
of speotaters. The Reiedeer wee commenced in the early
part of the year 1860, bet when about half completed the
whole of the heads were withdrawn from bee in order to
be employed ea the heeded frigates beading, and until •
few mouths lime she was allowed to remain idle on the
stocks. Subsequent orders received from the Admiralty
directed several important attestioes to be effected in bee,
in order to allow of her ferrying an aromment of • more
mricfal sad heavy datieripties than that originally tn-
Jaded, end shohassearedinglybesneempleted in amordenee
with these heiradiese, ender the superiatendeses of dr. P.

4 inches ; depth in bold, 17 feet 5 inches ; burthen, 960
8.94 th. tons. The Reindeer is the of the Bret imolai of
her arm ooDattuoted with 4roo bulkheads, in addition to
which idditiotial strength end rigidity hare been imparted
to bar by forming bee deck-beams of wrought iroe, from the
Weedy Iron Works, and bracing the whole of her tim-
bal together by meths of massive stringer-elates, to enable
her to conniereet the oceceatios caned by the dierharge of
the lame guns with which she is fetandid to be armed.
Altogether she is ass of the strongest of her elam of wooden
reseals ever tamed out at tide dockyard. In order to ea-
00alluodi_ta sPenteltors, to witness the lam* • gallery

work, and after • few minutes' interval the Reindeer moved
down the launching-ways into the harbour amid the °beers
of the spectator'. She is to be immediately fitted with her
mixes and machinery, and brought forward for commission.
Her armament aeasist of one 9-ton pivot gun, sad six

THE EIHRIEVALTY OF LONDOK.—WO are au-
thorised to state that Mr. Alderman Waterlow and Mr.
Francis Lycett intend to offer themselves, on Midsummer-
day, for election to the office of sheriffs of Loodoa and
Middlesex for the ensuing year. Mr. Alderman Waterlow,
who was elevated to the dignified position be now fills in
1863, is well and favourably known, not only to the
cilium of Loudon but to the public generally, from the
ability displayed by him in hie magisterial capacity, and
still more from his high personal character. His efforts to
promote the welfare of the working &Leas, by the erection
of good and cheap dwellings, have tended very considerably
to increase his popularity. Mr. Lycett, who has re-
cently retired from the firm of Dent, Alleroft,
and Ow, of Wood.aireek has made for himself
a substantial reputation for his liberality and the
energy with which he throws himself into the working
of besevoleot schemes, aa an instance of which his one.
onion with the Lanoashire Relief Fund (of the committee
of which be wee a prominent member) may be noted. Both
these gentleman having expressed their willingsem to serve,
14 is extremely probable that they will be well received by
the livery, who will thus have before them an influential
member of the corporation, sod a wellimowa outsider.--

MIDDLE-CLASS Horicomorr.—A movement has
bole lathEarated in the county of Surrey, ander the
earpiece of the Bishop of Winchester, the Archbishop of
Canterbury, Earl Percy, the Arehdesoon of Surrey, the
Hoc. Mr. Broderick, 81r Walter Popular, and several
other gentlemen of influence in the muuty, with. • view of
affording as opportunity for carrying out the prioeiple of a
sound middleolus education, • subject which has of late
created a good dee' of public attention., A school has
Mee established at Ormay under the superintendence
of the Rev. Mr. Sept., the ;toter of Craeley. red • emu-
oil of distinguished persons in the county, the Bishop of
Winchester being the visitor, called the Surrey County
School, this title being given to it not booms* it is
designed solely for the benetit of the county of Surrey, but
because most of its promoters belong to that county . The
object of this school is to supply • cheap and emededoca-
Son to the sons of men with small means, • want which
bas lately been so strongly insisted upon; sad it may be
mentiosed as • proof of the extent of that feeling that
although the school has only been opened a very short
time, 100 boys have already been entered as pupils. The
buildiog has been erected to modes 130 boys, sad it is
capable of being enlarged so as to receive twice that number
at • comparatively small additional outlay of money. A
sound plain course of education is supplied to the pupils.
and it is intended, so far as may be, that the school shall
bear the stamp and character of a public school, and.
when completely built sod furnished, it will be entirely
self-supporting, The general direction of the school is in
the hands of a council of twenty gentlemen of Surrey,
amongst whom is the High Sheriff, Earl Percy, Mr. G.
Cabin.. M.P., Mr. G. L. Gower, M.P., Mr. It. Barclay,
Mr. W. B. &salaa es m, &a, and, above stated, i he
Bishop of Winchester is the visitor. Already upwards of
12,00 C/. have been spent on the building, of which 10.000/.
has been raised by public subscription. More foods
are, however, required for the purpose of carrying out
the important object sought to be attained ; but, from the
pond feeling upon the subject, there is no doubt
that they will be forthcoming, and that the dis-
tinguished persons who have initiated the undertaking
sill have the means provided them for effectually carrying
oat the object they have io view—that of affording an op-
portunity to the middle claws to provide their sons with •
wad and useful education at • moderato cost.
