PEMBROKE YARD.—In consequence of the great de-
ma,nd for small, class vessels, the energies of this estab-
lishment have almost entirely been withdrawn from the
large ships, and applied to the former. Among these, a
despatch boat, a vessel of promised great speed, is to be
built with all possible quickness. Her keel was laid on
Saturday last, and a powerful array of artisans will
shortly be employed upon her. Notwithstanding this
change of tactics, the blacksmith are employed from 6
a.m. till 10 p.m. on the Repulse, though she is not likely
to be launched for some time, her ironwork being in a
very backward state. The contract for the erection of
gasworks and main of pipes has just been taken, and
the contract specifies the arsenal is to be lighted by the
Ist of October. This will be a great accommodation to
the establishment. This is at present the only dockyard
that produces its own gas. The enlargement of the dry
Idock is progressing rapidly, as is the formation of the
new gills and boat Win.'
