The captain's good service pension placed at ißet
disposal of the First Lord of the Admiralty by the
promotion of Captain Lyster to the rank of Rear-
Admiral, has been conferred upon Capftain E. C.
Tennyson D'Eyncourt.
The tords of the Admiralty have abandoned the
intention—at least for the present—of e onverting
any of the wooden vessels standing on the stocks at
Chatham dockyard into iron-clad ships of war, and
the armour-cased frigate, the frame for which is
now being prepared at Chatham, will be an entirely
new vessel, and will be the first of the squadron of
armour-clad ships which are to be constructed from
the designs of Mr. E. J. Reed. The new frigate is
intended to be a superior ship, both in point of speed,
offensive and defensive power, and sea-going quali-
ties, to any of the armour-clads lately constructed,
and the Admiralty have decided on naming her the
Lord Warden, in compliment to Lord Palmerston.
The blocks for the Lord Warden have been laid ou
No. 7 slip, and every effort is to be made to have
her completed and afloat within 18 months of the
present time.

The approaching athletic sports, which are to take
Gordon
place on the 20th instant, and the garrison races on
the 24th, to be followed probably by a grand race
ball, excite the greatest interest, and keep the whole.

field, Inspector. General of the Royal Artillery, con-
veys to the troops his entire approbation of what
he
saw
during
his
of the s recent inspection of the Ist divi-
sionpot Brigade. Major-General Bloom-
field has requested Colonel Nedham to inform the
Royal Artillery under his command that he had not
a single fault to find with any matters of inspection
which he made respecting the armaments of the
various batteries, magazines, hospital, &c. Major-
General Bloomfield also informed Colonel Nedham
that he could not use too strong terms in conveying
to the Royal Artillery
in the Chatham District his

of their appearance, drill, and dis-
cipline.

On Saturday a detachment of the 2d Battalion of
the'l9th Regiment, numbering 144 men of all ranks,

ordered into quarters at Gosport, to prepare for em-
barcation for Madras. There are no other orders
beyond these mentioned for the Orontes' further
services et present. Some reports send Ler to the
lonian Islands and others to Japan, but it is not
improbable that she will have a
poop built on her
quarter-deck and her present saloon on the main-
deck added to her troop accommodation, prey ions
to proceeding on any lengthened foreign service.
