manding-in%Chief, held a levee on Wednesday after-
noon at the Horse Guards. About 90 officers
attended the levee.

The screw steam gunvessel Assurance, 4, Com-
mander H. B. Woollcombe, from Sheerness, arrived
in Plymouth Sound on Wednesday morning en
route for the Mediterranean:

The iron screw steamer storeship Industry, 2,
Master Commander E. C. T. You el, from Woolwich,
arrived in Plymouth Sound on Wednesday. She is
being rep!enished with coal, and will shortly pro-
ceed to Rio Janeiro.

Gen. Todleben, now on a visit to this country,
went down to Woolwich yesterd ,y at half-past 10
a.m., and visited the garrison departments. He was
received at the Royal Arsenal railway station by
Major Gen. Warde, C. 8., Commandant, attended
by Captain Williams, Aidtadc-Camp, and a staff of
field cfficers. A guard of honour, provided by the
Royal Horse Artillery, wa- drawn up at the en.
trance of the station, who performed the customary
salute. The General was accompanied by Gen. Sir
John Burgoyne, G.C.8., Inspector-General of En.
gineers, his aide-decamp Capt. the Hon. G. Wrot-
tesley, R.E., and the Hon. Col. Wrottesley, Col. N.
De Novitsky, Attache to the Russian Imperial Em-
bassy in London, and other officials. He was
escorted from the station to the review ground on
Woolwich.oommon, where the troops were mustered
in marching order, and went through a field day's
marcouvres without. ammunition. Having visited
the Royal Military Academy, the encampment
occupied by Major Reilly's battery of tie Horse
Brigade and the Military Train, the Repository,
&c., Gen. Todleben was entertained at luncheon by
the officers of the Royal Artillery mess, and having
learnt that one of Capt. Blakely's guns was about
to undergo a Government proof at the Arsenal butt
in the marsh, he expressed a desire to be pre.
sent. General Warde immediately despatched a
message to the butt, requesting the proof might be
deferred to 2 o'clock for that purpose, when the
entire party above-named were in attendance. There
were also present Col. Bernalchy, from the Spanish
Embassy ; Col. Bolagnese, director of the Peruvian
Artillery ; Major-Gen. Wilford, R.A.; Captain
Naugle, deputy-assist,-quartermaster-general, and
many others. Capt. Blakely and Mr. Campbell re-
presented the manufacturers. The gun, weighing
15 tons, was of
hammered cast steel and 11-inch
bore, and precisely similar to others recently tested
(as reported in The Sun). The charges consisted of
60 lb. of powder and a 600 lb. cylinder shot, two
rounds of which were fired with perfect success. As
some of these guns have been forwarded to the
Russian capital, Gen. Todleben's interest in wit-
nessing the proof yesterday was natural. After
leaving the marsh they proceeded to the Royal Ar-
senal, and inspected the departments there, commen-
cing with the gun factories, and going through the
other branches of the establishment in succession.
The General and other friends afterwards left for
London.

The following appointments have been made at
the Admiralty ;—Lieut. IV. 11. Kennedy, to the
Britannia ; and J. Pinhorn, promoted to be pay-
master.in.chief on the retired list.
