" The amount received from military officers on ac-
count of breakage of glass, crockery, &c., is to be paid
into the hands of the paymaster, or the clerk in charge
(as the case may be), and he is to debit himself there
with in his cash account."

PRIZE MONEY FOR THE GLADIATOR AND JACKAL.
—Woodhead and Co. have given notice that the ac-
count sales of the proceeds arising from the capture
of the slave-vessel Gira Sol, by the Jackal, tender
to her Majesty's ship Gladiator, Captain John Adams,
on the 4th of September, 1850, will be registered in
the High Court of Admiralty on or after the 18th
instant.

We understand that Mr. Sugden, the paymaster of
the Prince Regent, flag-ship to Rear-Admiral Corry,
is about to apply to be placed on the retired list. We
believe ill health is the cause of this officer's wishing
to decline this lucrative appointment.
THE SCREW THREE-DECKER DUNE OF WEL-
LINGTON.—This huge leviathan of the ocean was
towed into Portsmouth yesterday morning at eleven
o'clock, by the Inflexible, 6, steam-sloop, and Echo,
tug, one on each side. The platform battery and
lines of the fortifications fronting the entrance were
literally covered with persons anxious to get a sight
of this colossal specimen of naval architecture. She
came in slowly and majestically. She appears to be
a very handsome ship. Her change of name will re-
quire a new figure-head, which we hear will be a bust
of " the Duke."
She went alongside the dockyard jetty, under the
shears, and in the afternoon Mr. Brown, master-at-
tendant, who has had charge of the ship in her pas-
sage round (Mr. Davy being sick), commenced dis-
mantling her, unbending sails, and returning stores.
Numbers of naval men and others visited the Duke
of Wellingtonin the afternoon, and all ex-
pressed astonishment at the room and capa-
bilities of this magnificent man-of-war. She
left Pembroke at one P.M. on Saturday, in
tow of the two steamers, the Desperate and
Inflexible. Fine breezes springing up, the Desperate
cast off, and thejnflexible only continued to tow her.
Sail was made to courses, topsails, and topgallant
sails, the ship proving very stiff, and steering like a
duck. Instead of tillers she has a yoke on the middle
and lower deck, by either of these she is steered.
These yokes are fitted on account of the well made
for the shipping or unshipping of her screw-fan.
She has more spring forward than most line-of-
battle ships ; her quarters are especially roomy ; and
on her lower, middle, and upper decks she has 19
broadside guns on each, exclusive of bow and stern
chase guns. The Neptune, 120, has long been con-
sidered the finest line-of-battle ship in the service;
but the Duke throws her entirely in the shade. The
Neptune is 2,700 tons burden 0.M.--the Duke up-
wards of 3,700. Her jury spars will be taken out
to-day, when the Duke will be forthwith taken into
dock to be coppered. As far as the officers in charge
could judge, she will sail remarkably well, and, as we
have before observed, stand up well under canvas, as
in a stiff breeze, on a wind, on Sunday, she had all
plain sail set. The masts that have been prepared for
the Royal Frederick will be probably put into her,
but new lower yards, three feet longer than any ever
yet made, have been got ready for her.
Daring, 12, Commander Gerard Napier, is ordered
to proceed without delay to the West Indies. She
will probably leave Portsmouth in the course of to-day
or to-morrow.

Desperate screw steam-sloop, Lieutenant Stevens
in charge, will return to Plymouth from Portsmouth
on Wednesday, taking supernumeraries for Queens-
town from the Rodney, 92, and the Indefatigable, 50.
Encounter, 14, screw-corvette, Captain O'Cal-
laghan, was taken out of dock, and the Bulldog has
been taken in.
Inflexible, 6, steam-sloop, Commander George R.
Wolrige, will proceed immediately to Lisbon.
Leopard, 12, advanced steamer, was swung yes-
terday at Portsmouth to have her compasses adjusted.
Electra, 14, Commander William Morris (b), will
be ready to sail from Portsmouth for Australia,
about the end of the week. We should not be sur-
prised if this compact, useful, little craft reached Syd-
ney yet before that big marine monster, the Mel-
bourne, which has been floundering about, during the
late gales, somewhere between the Downs and the
Land's-end.
Termagant, 24, screw-frigate, Captain Giffard, will
have her compasses adj usted at Portsmouth to-morrow,
when her officers end crew will turn over from the
50, Captain Smart, K.II , arrived
on Sunday, for Lisbon and. the Me-

SHEERNESS, OCT. 12.—Her Majesty's paddle-
wheel steam-vessel Tartarus, Lieutenant-Command-
ing Richard H. Risk, employed during the past
summer on the coast of Scotland for the protection of
the fisheries, arrived yesterday at ten A.M. last from
Leith. On her voyage to Heligoland, a fortnight
since, she experienced very tempestuous weather.
