POIt'IIiMOUTIT, JAN. M.
The Cossack, 20, screw corvette, Captain Moor-
man, will be docked on Friday to undergo • on4h refit.
It appears that during her present and former commtsaien a
considerable number of ulcer cases occurred on board, and
the Admiralty have, consequently, ordered her to becleared
out, and boiling water to be pumped through her lining,
the vessel being afterwards dried by means of hot stoves.
The Commack was in course of construction by a private
English firm for the Bowden government at the outbreak of
the last war, and was seised by direction of the English
government as a lawful prise. She was hastily built, and
the prevalence of the ulcer cages is attributed to the in.
Suence of the green timber. First Lieutenant Barkley will
be superseded, in pursuance of • request made by him in
August last, by Lieutenant H. Rogers, the request having
been made for private reasons, and not on account of any
circumstances connected with the late court-martial. The
ship's company have been granted ten days leave, by
watches.
The Himalaya, screw troop ship, Captain John Seocombe,
is daily expected to arrive at Spithead from the Mediterra-
nean, with invlaL.

The Princess Royal, 91, *crew, was commissioned this
morning by Captain Charles Fell:mem, for the flag of Rear.
Admiral of the White Robert Smart, K.H., appointed
commander-in-chief of the Channel fleet.

The Bulldog, 6, steam sloop, Commander Henry F.
M'Hillop, will be ready to proceed to Spithead about
Saturday next.
The Glasgow, 51, screw, and the Chanticleer, 51, screw,
are both in a forward state for launching. The former is
now receiving her first coat of paint.

The 3rtl City of Loudon Rifle Volunteer Corps
paraded on Towerbill, and marched out, headed by the
brass bead and drams and fifes, last Saturday, under the
command of Lieutenant-Colonel Richards. The route
taken was over London-bridge to Kennington-gate and
back. Nearly four hundred men are now in uniform,
and both bands, composed solely of volunteers, numbering
twenty-oes s each band, will be in uniform by the end of
the week. The Z:nt will parade on Wednesday at the
Floral-ball, and a muster is expected. Nearly all the
commissions are up, and it is confidently hoped that
the regiment will in a very short time be wetted.

THE EXPLOSION AT rms ROYAL ENGINEER
ESTABLISHMENT. CHATHAM.

CHATHAM, TunatY.
Since the unfortunate accident which occurred
at the Royal Engineer establishment yesterday all work in
connection with the manufacture of the Nees and hand-
grenades has been suspended at the laboratory ; and, iudW•
from the perfect wreck which was made of that portion of
the north gun shed devoted to the manufacture of those
missiles, it will be impossible for the work to he resumed
for some time. At the time of the accident there were
about fifty shells of various sizes in the laboratory waiting
to be filled, some of them being large 10-inch shells.
Thews, fortuastely, were net charged when the explosion
occurred, or the results would have been of the most ap-
palling character. There were also several hundred hand-
grenades, filled and empty, in the factory at the time, and
a number of sappers were occupied a considerable time to.
day in picking up the exploded eases and grenades from
among the flgbris. The force of the explosion may be ima-
gined when it is stated that the whole of the huts forming
the Hut-barracks, some distance from the factory, were
shaken to their foundation, most of the inmates nab-
ing out into the square to ascertain the emote.
A number of troops of the line were drilling
close to the north gun shed at the time of
the accident, and these,' on hearing the explosion and
seeing a portion of the laboratory blown away, threw
down their arms and ran away, under the impression that
the whole building would blow up. Nearly every room in
Brompton barracks was shaken, and the report heard over
the whole establishment. Most of the sufferers by the ac-
cident, who were taken to the Royal Engineer Hospital,
are proceeding satisfactorily. This morning Colonel Har-
ness, C. 8., director of the Royal Engineer establishment,
visited the laboratory, in order to witness the scene of the
accident. The result of his visit was that directions have
been given for the discontinuance of the manufacture of the
hand-grenades and fuses in the gun shed, and another
building, of a more appropriate character, is to be devoted
for that purpose. An official report of the accident, toge-
ther with a copy of the evidence taken by the Board of
Inquiry, has been forwarded to the Duke of Cambridge.
