The North Star, 28, Captain Right Hon. Lord Wm-
Paget, M.P., went out of harbour this afternoon. She
will proceed to Jamaica in the course of the ensuing week.
The Galatea, 42, Capt. C. Napier, C. 8., will sail to-
morrow on a cruise for eight days.
The new arrangements in the official department of this
Dock-yard, to establish which G. Smith, Esq. the Secre-
tary to the Navy Board, has for several days devoted daily
attention, will be acted upon on Monday.
An experiment was tried before the Commander-in-
Chief, the Hon. Sir R. Stopford, on Wednesday, to carry
out a hover anchor from his Majesty's ship Victory, in
the launch of that ship, in a way proposed by Captain
Elliott. The anchor weighed 95 cwt., was carried out,
dropped in sine fathoms water, weighed by the launch,
and brought alongside, and was at the cat-head again in
about half an hour. It was weighed by a wiallass ex-
tending over the boat's gunwales, the buoy repo being
brought up outside the boat, thus preventing the necessity
of holes through the boat's bottom, and leaving all the in-
terior of the boat clear to soil the sable in, Le. The ,1
chief advantages, however, whieh Captain Elliott proposes
to obtain by this suggestion, are facility of placing the
anchor under the boat, or taking it from her -(neither of
which requires the boat to be above one minute under the
‘,hlP'fk-bows), and doing away with all the fitting and ma-
chinery of the former mode. The plan wee highly ap-2.
proved of.
Orders have' this week been received at this Dock-yara
from the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, directing
that no entry he made of workmen until the number in all
the yards is reduced to 6,000, which number the Lord-
ships consider sufficient to be retained during peace.
I,DevoNroar, Aram 3.—His Majesty's ship Caledonia,
120 guns, remains in dock. The late spring tides were
lower than any remembered for the last fifty years ; she
could not therefore float; but preparati,we are making to
float her with empty casks, 160 of which were to be
placed under her bottom on the next springs. We under-
stand that the Caledonia's masts are to be fitted with light-
ning conductors, after ,the plan recommended by Mr.
Harris. We were in ~error last week in stating that the
Victory is the oldest ship in the Nary ; the Nansur,,Asru..
ganti and Triumpli,4nilif, respectively in the years 1756,
176'1, and 1764,,arfatill4n the Admiralty List.
