CANTERBURY HALL.
The Fairy Entertainment, entitled
PRINCE BLOSSOM IN THE LAND OF SHADOWS!
Is written expressly for this establishment by W. F. Vander-
veil, author of the celebrated " Enchanted Hash," and en-
ables Mr. Morton, with the aid of Professor Pepper's Optical
Illusion (known as the Ghost), to produce effects never before
contemplated. and which have all been duly registered by
him and Mr. J. H. Weston under the title of "The Ghost in
the Magic Fountains." By this new arrangement, that
which is in reality nothing but a shadow, becomes to all ap-
pearance endowed with life, and when "Fame" takes her
flight through the burning Cataracts, and the Naiads seek
their beds in the Cryptal Waters, form a coup d'cell of beauty
unparalleled even in fairy romance.
Princo Blossom (with the Song of all Nations), Miss Townley.
The Marvellous Illusion will take place every Evening at
half-past Nine o'c'ock.

Naval and Military Intelligence.
THE NAVY.

Mr. Reed's experimental ship Enterprise, in basin at
Woolwich, got up steam on Saturday for the trial of her
engines, by Messrs. Ravenbill and Co., of 160 horse power.
The trial was preliminary, the vessel proceeding to the
measured mile this morning or to-morrow. Every branch
of the machinery worked softly and without showing any
indications of heat or undue friction.

The Sultan's iron yacht, which has been lying at Wool-
wich during the past fortnight, sailed for Constantinople ou
Friday last, having received a crew of various nations from
the Sailors Home in London. Mr. Comyn, an officer of
the Royal Naval Reserve, is in command of the yacht, and
Mr. Harms, an English engineer, is in chief charge of the
engines, and will probably remain in the permanent service
of the Turkish Government.

The Irresistible, 67, 400 horse power, fitting for the
Coastguard service at Southampton, has been removed out
of the great basin into the Medway, and on Saturday
shipped her main deck guns, consisting of 24 32-pounders,
which wen sent from Chatham by the War Department
transport Marlborough.
In accordance with the orders of the Admiralty, seven of
the improved gunboats, from the designs of Mr. Reed, are
to be immediately commenced at Chatham, Portsmouth,
Davenport, and Woolwich dockyards. They are to be called
steam launches, and are to be completed with as much de-
spatch as the resources of the several dockyards will permit.
The Adventure, screw troopship, Capt. C. L. Waddilove,
remains at anchor at Spithead, the present orders being that
she is to remain thers until about the 12th proximo. If no
fresh case of smallpox appears there among her crew she
will proceed to Dover, and embark there a battery of garri-
son artillery, and a detachment of the 2d battalion of the
20th Regiment. From Dover she will proceed to Plymouth
and there take on board the troops and naval supernumera-
ries conveyed to that part from Portsmouth in the Hima-
laya. She will then start on her China voyage. Statements
have been made in connection with this ship, regarding
the prevalence of small-pox at Portsmouth, which are ex-
aggerations. Small-pox is prevalent to a certain extent in
some of the most crowded portions of Portsmouth and its
suburbs, as it is just now in many ether towns, but there is
no foundation for the statement that there are crowds of
people waiting at the doors of medical men for vaccination,
&a. The disease made its appearance on board the Adven-
ture, and as a simple matter of precaution her voyage to
China has been delayed, the cases having in the meantime
been removed to hospital, a number of her crew vaccinated,
and the ship thoroughly fumigated and cleansed.
The Bulldog, 6, paddle, Capt. Charles Wake, went out of
Portsmouth harbour to Spithead on Saturday, and com-
menced taking on board her powder and shell, preparatory
to sailing on foreign service.
The screw steam gunvessel Ranger, 5, Commander Gor-
don, from the eastward, arrived on Saturday in Plymouth
Sound, where she filled up with coal from the hulk Lavinia,
preparatory to the sailing for the West Coast of Africa.
The screw steam troopship Himalaya, from Portsmouth,
arrived on Friday at Plymouth, and landed at the Royal
William Victaalling-yard the troops destined to proceed to
China in the Adventure. The seamen supernumeraries
which came from Portsmouth were transferred to the Royal
Adelaide, and on Saturday the Himalaya proceeded to
moorings outside Keyham Steam-yard, into which she will
be taken for the purpose of being docked and repaired.
The Royal George, 78, at Devonport, will be commissioned
on the Ist of April proximo by ;he officers and crew of the
Ajax, 60.
In accordance with instructions to that effect received

from the Admiralty, every exertion is being used to com-
plete the Terrible, 22, 800-horse power, for the first divi-
sion of the Chatham Steam Reserve, as she will shortly be
required for commission. The Terrible is the largest of the
paddlewheel eteamers in the British navy, and was built
under the superintendence of Mr. 0. W. Lang, late the
master•shipwright at Chatham dockyard. During the time
she has been in dock, a period of several months, she has
undergone such extensive repairs as to make her almost a
aew vessel. She is intended for service in the llediter-
