A COAL DEPOT FOR THI FLEET.—What we have
for years urged the necessity and policy of has at length
been ordered—a coaling ship to enable men-of-war to
replenish their stock without the loss of time and
trouble in discharging their powder, &c., before coming
into harbour to do so. The Pitt, 72, has been brought
alongside the dockyard to-day for docking, to be con-
verted into a coal depot, which will be moored at the
Motherbank, a place close to Spithead, and where men-
of-war can ship their fuel at any time or tide. The rapid
alteration of the sailing navy into a steam navy has
naturally suggested the necessity and importance
e of this
movement to the Admiralty.—Portsineuth Time.

EXAGGERATING NEWS.—In Brighton, on Sunday, the
rumours afloat concerning the fatal accident at Chelse
were of so exaggerated a kind, that yesterday morning
the cheap excursion train, which had been advertised to
leave that place at 8.30 for the purpose of conveying
visitors to Chelsea Hospital, was obliged to start with
between only forty and fifty passengers, not a sixth part
of the number which had been expected. An impres-
sion generally prevails, in consequence, that the number
parts of the country
of spectators from all will be very
considerably diminished from what it would otherwise
have been. The omnibus proprietors on the Chelsea
route, however, seem likely to reap a very considerable
harvest, as they have universally
doubled their fares,
and are conveying to Chelsea every hour a large id.
