THE GLATTON FLOATING BATTERY.

The rig of tle Glatton floating battery, now in 417 dock at
Sheerness., has undergone a third alteration, considered more
appropriate for taking her across the North Sea. She is not
to take her armament on board until she arrives in the Baltic.
Her iron plates for covering her deck will not be put on board
until she gets up the Baltic. Much discussion has arisen
among professional men as to the certainty of the iron plates,
when expended from heat, drawing or breaking through their
fastenings in taking their curve by expansion, the joints and
butts being quite close. Au especial survey has been held by
Adtniraby order. The most serious defect is the leaky state
of the vessel, as a considerable removal of material must take
place to ascertain the cause.
The following gun•hoata are now in Sheerness harbour, wait-
ing orders for sea:—The Lark, Fancy, Ottcr,Weazol, Cracker,
Clincher, and Boxer. There arc also in harbour the steam-
vessels Wildfire, Lizard, Myrtle, Janus, Porcupine, Fearless,
Odin, and Rosamond. In dry dock, the Horatio and Glatton;
in the basin the Trafalgar, Volage, and Cornwall.
