THE NAVY.

The iron-cased screw steam frigate Prince Consort, 35,
Capt. George 0. Willie, at Davenport, which was pit into
permanent commission for the first time on Thursday, will
have a complement of 6CO officers and men, of whom 65
will consist of Royal Marines--viz., two sergeants, two
corporals, a bugler, and b 9 privates, under command of
Capt. Meheux and First Lieut. Younghueband. It will be
recollected that the Prince Consort left Plymouth on the
28th October last for Liverpool, and having encountered se-
vere weather, put into Kingstown on the 31st. Tn St. George's
Channel during the storm she rolled excessively and suffered
much from the quantity of water retained on board. To re-
medy this defect some alterations have been made in her
scuppers. The combings of the hatchways both on the upper
and main decks have also been raised from 101 to 19 inches•
Although the Prince Consort lay only in the comparatively
quiet waters of Haraetize from the period of her completion
to last October, and was then but a few days absent, the
effects of galvanic action upon her iron plates, produced by
the proximity of the Muntz's metal below, had become mani-
fest. By the advice of Mr. Reed, Chief Constructor of the
Navy, and of Mr. Hay, Admiralty chemist, the Prince Con-
sort has now been furnished with a band of zinc all round,
between the copper and iron, to protect the latter from in-
jury, and, like the Royal Oak, she is supplied with rubbing
pieces on her load line, to sheath the iron casing from the
friction of boats or anything else floating alongside.
The screw steamship Royal George, 78, was warped on
Thursday from the sheer hulk in liarnodze to the north jetty
in Devonport dockyard, for the purpose of being rigged and
prepared for a commission, in place of the screw steam coast•
guard ship Ajax, 60, Capt. Michael De Cotircy, stationed at
Kingstown.

His Portuguese Majesty's corvette Infanta Don Juan,
from the eastward, arrived on Thursday at Plymouth.

sywilettnerg at Greenhithe for the

at Woolwich, has been dismantled and partially cleared of
her stores and fitment. Her masts, made at Portsmouth in
August, 1850, were yesterday examined and proved to be
unfit for future service. The officers and men, of whom
there are 126, have been exceedingly healthy during the
seven years which they have served in the Plumper and
Hecate. Since they sailed from Portsmouth in the former
vessel, in December, 1856, they have made a scientific voyage
round the world. Two of the ship's company only died
during that period—namely, the boatswain's mate at Van-
couver Island, and one sailor at sea,

at Deptford on the 10th of February next, with the whole
of her machine'y on board. The armour-plates have all
been prepared in the bending department in Woolwich
dockyard, with the most complete success. The ship-
wrights engaged in the operation of plating the ship are
working up to 9 o'clock at night,
andwill complete
afterthe
beingpro-
cess during the ensuing week. The Enterprise,
launched, will be towed down to Woolwich, and replace the
corvette Wolverine in dock, to be pushed forward for sea.
The iron steam storeship Buffalo, Master• Commander
Brown, from Rio and Ascension, was yesterday docked at
Woolwich, to be refitted. The officers and crew will be
granted six weeks' leave of absence. Iler bottom, notwith-
standing the experimental composition proposed as an in-
fallible remedy against the adhesion of seaweed and barnacles
is clogged to excess, and will require to be coated anew.
Her Majesty's screw steam sloop Fawn, 17 guns, 761 tons,
100-horse power, Master in charge John J. Gravener, was
taken out of the fitting basin in Sheerness dockyard, where
she has been brought forward for the first division of the
steam reserve of that place, to moorings in the harbour, on
Tuesday, to adjust compasses preparatory to proceeding on
trial of the machinery at the measured mile off Maplin
Sands. The trial should have taken place on Wednesday,
but in consequence of the extreme haziness of the wea-
ther it was postponed till the following day, when
she steamed out ip. charge of Captain W. K. Hall,
C. 8., commanding the steam reserve at Sheerness. Mr.
Rumble, inspector of machinery afloat, euperinteded the
working of the machinery. The following were the re-
sults : —Average speed at full boiler Power, 8.678 knots ;
revolutions of engines, maximum 90, mean 9168, pressure
of steam 20, load on safety-velve 20, vacuum 26, speed at,
half-boiler power 6.830 knots, revolutions, maximum, 71,
means 64.5. The vessel went round the circle at full boiler
power, helm sten angle of 37 deg port,'in 4 min 28 sec, re-
volutions 77, diameter of circle 228 yards, at full boiler
power, helm starboard 35 5 deg, in 5 min 31 sec; revolutions
63, diameter 254 yards, She is fitted with a common pro-
peller, with leading corners out off, diameter 10ft, pitch 12ftt
length 2ft, immersion Sin, draught of Water, 13ft Tin for-
ward, 14ft 4in aft. There was no wind, and the sea smooth.
The vessel was full-rigged and bad six months' stores on
board. The trial was considered very satisfactory, and the
Fawn returned to moorings in the harbour to await com-
mission, when it is expected she will proceed to relieve the
Greyhound, 17, screw stearesloop, Commander Henry D.
Mickley, on the North America and West Indies station.
