The Meteor steam-battery, Captain Seymour, with
the Rhadamanthus towing, took her departure from
Falmouth on Wednesday, at 3 30 p.m., with fine wea-
ther and a light breeze from the northward ; both ves-
sels reunded the Manacles in good style, and appeared
to, be running at the rate of or 6 knots per hour.
Great interest was excited at Falmouth and the neigh
and on her sailing a fleet of pleasure-boats were inattend-
b"th°"d by the presence of this formidable leviathan,
snot to greet her and wish her success. Should the
'weather continue moderate she will have a quick run to
Gibraltar, ea her 'own screw power will greatly aid the
paddle power of the Ithadamanthus in the tow.

Messrs. W. and T. Smith, of St. Peter's, Newcastle,
are fitting up, and will have ready for sea next week, a
powerful iron screw steamer, named the Chasseur, to be
employed as a floating factory for the army. She will
leave the Tyne f r Balaklava,.which will be her station.
She is two-deeked, and her middle deck is a workshop
furnished with driiling machines, punching and sheer-
ing machines, and shaping and slotting machines.
She has also several smiths' forges fitted up, a cupola
with fan blasts for metal and brass feunding, and two
circular saw benches, and has also on boarda complete set
of mining tools and apparatus for sinking wells. Beside
the marine engine, which will drive part of the ma-
chinery, she has a 10-horse portable engine. The artisans
she takes out with her are engine fitters, shoemakers,
coopers, brass finishers, blacksmiths, house carpenters,
and iron and.-brass founders. A party aof miners she taken
out will be employed, when necessary, in sinking wells
for the army. The workmen, with the exception of the
gun-carriage and wheelmakers, who are from Woolwich,
are intelligent artisans belonging to the north. They
will be comfortably berthed, and will have baths and
other-conieniences. The machinery is mostly from the
large factories in Leeds, London, and Manchester, and
the workshops have been arranged under the superin-
tendence of Captain Collinson, R.N., the Arctic naviga-
tor, Colonel Tulloch, and Mr. Anderson, a surveyor of
machinery, from Woolwich.
The Crimean medal was distributed yesterday by the
Commandant of Portsmouth garrison to the invalids in
the Military Hospital, Portsea, whose names were
selected by the Queen at her Majesty's late visit. It was •

But the cases that have recently been admitted are cer-
tainly of a most serious nature. Nothing whatever is
spared that can possibly benefit the patient?. We re-
gret to add that Lieut.-Colonel Mills is so ill at the
George Hotel that he is not expected to recover. He is
receiving the most unremitting attention from tho medi-
cal staff. There are a larger number of invalids in this
hospital (Portsea) than even were in it since the war
commenced. The medical authorities of Portsea Garri-
son Hospital were driven on Monday last to give sick
furlough to several of the patients, and to send others
prematurely to Chatham, in order to make 20 vacancies
in case of emergency.
The ceremony of awarding the Crimean medals to
Lieut. Stopford, the non-commissioned officers, and men
of the Sappers, who have lately returned from the East
wounded, took place at Woolwich yesterday morning.
The medals were presented by LieutenanteGeneral Sir
John Burgoyne, G.C.B. At 12 o'clock the men arrived
on the drill-ground, at the back of the lalspital, when
the band struck up the " National Anthem." They were
minutely inspected by the General, who was accom-
panied by a number of staff and other officers—namely,
Colonel Hardinge,.K.H., Commander of the Garrison ;
Lieutenant-Colonel Cole, Lieutenant-Colonel Foster,
Lieutenant-Colonel Yorke, Major Robertson, Major
Maude, Captain 'Beatson, Captain Collinson, Captain
Wrottesley, Captain Speedwell Tilley, Captain Swin-
borne, Captain Lambert, Lieutenant St epferd, Lleute-
nant Malcolm, Lieutenant Wilson, and Lieutenant and
Adjutant Lempriere. The battalion then marched past
in slow and quick time and at quarter distance, after
which they deployed on the near division, and then
formed a hollow square. The invalids being brought
into the centre, Sir John called out the name

receive his medal,' on presenting sibich Sir John
addressed each one, and kindly inquired in
what engagement he was wounded, how long be
had been in the service, and if he felt himself recovering ?
He spoke to them in the hiEshest terms of their soldier-

like appearance, and applauded their good conduct and
bravery before the enemy, which had von for them the
esteem of their Sovereign and the whole nation. Lady •
Burgdyne and family, with some ladies of Mr. Stopford'a
family, were on the ground in their carriages, and, con-
sidering the smallness of the -spot appropriated for the
occasion, there was a tolerable number of persons pre-
"sent. It had been officially announced that the presen•
tation of the medals would take place on Wednesday,
but; by reason of Sir John Burgoyne having been in
attendance at Court, it was deferred until yesterday.
The weather could not have been more auspicious, and
the pleaSed (and in some cases scarred) countenances of
the brave convalescents bespoke the gratification they
felt at thus being publicly rewarded for having shed
their blood in their country's service. The General
afterwards inspected the engineers' field equipments
and waggons in the barrack-square. Thence he reipaired
to the drivers' encampment, and inspected the company
and horses, which were paraded on the common.
The new Commander-in-Chief in Queenstown, Rear-
Admiral Sir G. R. Sartorius, arrived on Monday night.
On Tuesday Rear-Admiral Sir W. V. Carroll lowered
his flag, when the flag of Rear-Admiral Sartorius was
hoisted in its stead on board her Majesty's ship Conway,
a salute of 17 guns being fired.
The first division of the Leitrim rifles marched from
Longford to Nass on Friday, the second division on
Saturday, and the third and head-quarters follow on,
Monday.
