THE NAVY.

Rear-Admiral Elliot, the newly appointed Supe-
rintendent of Portsmouth dockyard, hoisted his flag
of command yesterday at that port.

Her Majesty's screw steam corvette Racoon, 22,
Capt. Victor Count Gleichen, which has recently
been refitted at Chatham Dockyard, was taken from
Sheerness harbour for her final trial on Monday
previously to proceeding to sea. The Racoon carries
an armament of two 1101 b. Armstrong guns, one
121 b. Armstrong and one 121 b. smooth bore guns for
boats, ono 121 b. Armstrong fieldpiece, and one 61b.
smooth bore gun for practice at short ranges on
the upper deck ; 16 8-inch smooth bore, and four
401 b. Armstrong guns on the main deck. The
most experienced workmen have been employed in
fitting her out, which has been done on the princi-
ple most approved in the service, and no expense or
labour has been spared to render her, as she un-
doubtedly is, one of the finest vessels of her class
now afloat. The trial was under the superinten-
dence of Capt. T. P. Thompson, of the Sheerness
steam reserve, and took place at the measured mile
off Maplin Sands. Messrs. W. Rumble, inspector
of machinery afloat at Sheerness, and Baker, chief
inspector of Chatham Dockyard, were in attend-
ance to note the results with respect to the working
of the machinery, and the condition of the ship was
also minutely inspected by Messrs. Moore, of Chat-
, ham Dockyard, and Martin, assistant-masten
r
hargai;
wright at Sheerness. The engines weeresh iip.
The
of Mr. Lawson, chief engineer of h
vessel attained an average speed at
fullt boiler power
of 10.1 knots per hour ; revolutions of engines, 54
per minute ; pressure of steam, 201 b.; vacuum, 251 b;
while at half boiler power the average speedwas
7. 279 knots ; revolutions of engines, 42. The circle
was turned with full boiler powtr, helm to port,
17 deg. in 5 min. 21 secs. ; with half-boiler power,
helm to starboard, 23 deg. in 5 min. 59 secs. The
engines were stopped when going at full speed in
16 secs. from the time of moving the telegraph ;
they were started Lhead in 35 sees,, and astern in
25 secs. from dead stop. The Racoon is fitted with
trunk engines, 400-horse power, made by Messrs.
Ravenhill, Salkeld, and Co., and common screw
with corners cut off; pitch, 2Gft. ; diameter lGft.;
length of blade, 3ft. During the trial the draught of
water was 18ft.2in.forward and 19ft.0 in. aft. There
was an entire absence of hot bearings or priming,
and the trial was pronounced highly successful
both as regards the machinery and the qualities of
the vessel. The Racoon left Sheerness harbour on
Tuesday for Greenhithe, where she will be stationed
until after the arrival of her Royal Highness the
Princess Alexandra, after which she will proceed,to
Portsmouth, and remain there until the Royal mar-
riage ceremony is over, when °Ili) is expected to
