Naval and Military Intelligence.

THE NAVY.

The iron screw steam vessel Enterprise was successfully
launched yesterday at Deptford, She draws only lift. 4iin.
with engines and boilers on board and armour on her sides.
As her rigging and equipment will immerse her less than.
3 feet more it is now certain that she will carry all her
weights (of guns, men, stores, coals, Sec.) and still have
buoyancy to spare. This is considered extremely satisfac-
tory in so small a ship, in which so much has been at-
tempted. Her strength is proved to be unusually great from
the tact that she is reported officially not to have " broken"
in the slightest degree during the launch. The greater
number of ships of her size break from Lin. to sin. After
the launch Captain Chads, superintendent of the dockyard,
gave a banquet to a large company. There were present
Prince Arthur, attended by Major Elphinstone ; Admiral
Robinson, Controller of the Navy ; Mr. Reed, the designer
of the ship ; Captain Rowley, R.N., who is to command
her; Admirals Chads, Lushington,
assembly of naval officers. But one toast was drunk, that
of her Majesty. Goldsmith, and a large
ffi
The crew of the screw steamship St. George, 84, Captain
the Hon. Francis Egerton (recently returned from the
Mediterranean), were paid off yesterday, alongside the
Devonport dockyard, by Admiral Superintendent T. M. C:
Symonds, C.B. To-day she will be recommissioned, and
receive the crew of the screw steamship Russell, 60, Capt.
S. Grenfell, which has been employed in the service of the
Coastguard at Falmouth, and will now be moored with the
steam reserve in Hamcaze.
The paddlewheel steamsloop Geyser was appointed to
leave Plymouth yesterday afternoon with men paid off from
the St. George, and oilers requiring passage to Ports-
mouth.
The following appointments were made yesterday at the
Admiralty :—Francis Taylor, master additional to the Ajax
—Wm. N. Covey, chief engineer, to the Osborne—Robert
Govv, chief engineer, to the Duke of Wellington—Charles
Wright, chief engineer, to the Cumberland, for the Hero—
Thomas W. Sandy, chief engineer, promoted and appointed
to the Fisgard, for the Hecate—Nathaniel Farrant, engi-
neer to the Cumberland, for the Pigeon—Thomas J. War-
burton and John Elder, second class assist.-engineers, to
the Hecate.

WORTH THEIR WEIGHT IN—SILVER.—SO great
was the anxiety of the Chinese authorities to obtain some
of the 'Whitworth guns which formed the armament of
Commodore Osborn's squadron, that they are said to have
offered to place pure silver, weight for weight, in the scales

to purchase them.
AN ATTEMPTED PEEP UNDER THE YASMAK !
As to beauty of mere dress and ease of attitude,
nothing that I have seen in life or in pictures can give the
slightest idea of the wonderful grace, the extreme delicacy,
tho bird-of-paradise-like uselessness of the Turkish belle
Women of rank look like hothouse flowers, and are really
cultivated to the highest perfection of physical beauty,
having no other employment but make their skins as snow-
white, and their eyebrows as jet black as possible. When
young their skin is literally as white as their veils, with
the faintest tinge of pink on the cheek, like that in the
inside of a shell: which blends exquisitely with the tender
apple leaf green, and soft violet colours, of wh
sifter thech theyest
are
so fond. The reverse of the picture is,
that
bloom of youth is past, the skin becomes yellow and sickly
looking, and you lung to
give the yasmek a pull and admit
the fresh breeze to brighten up the fine features. A belle
and a beauty too, the Turkish woman must be ; for nothing
can be more wretched than to see the poor thing attempting
to walk, or to make herself at all useful. She shuffles along
the ground exactly like an embarrassed parcquet, looking
as if her loose garments must inevitably flutter off at the
next step. The drapery which falls so gracefully and easily
about her in a carriage, or while reclining on cushions, seems
untidy and awkward when she is moving about. In fact if
she is not a beauty, and is not the property of a rich man,
she is the most miserable- looking creature possible.—
