powerful armament, will certainly possess more
formidable offensive and more perfecrt den !nsive
powers than any iron ship yet built, at the
same time prove the most healthy and co‘ mfortabie
vessel of her hind. The principle now for the first
time introduced into the navy will, there is little
doubt, be carried out in the construction of tt oop
and passenger ships, for which the system is even

imore completely adapted.
Mr. E. J. Reed, Chief Constructor of the navy,
visited Woolwich Dockyard on Wednesday, arid,
accompanied by the Commodore Superintendent,
Sir F. W. E. Nicoison, C. 8., and Mr. Thornton,
assistL‘nt master shipwright, inspected the prepara-
rions ina,ek.Trig for building the armour-plated frigate
Pallas on ATo. 6 slip. Arrangements were made
for putting ,etiditional workmen on the veseel im-
mediately, bo a. to complete the frame as soon
us possible. no other vacant bui ding slips
were also examined, with a view to deter-
mine the size of the vees'els w, hich could bo bujit,
upon them. Mr. Reed also irtspected the sevee•al
vessels under repair, and arranwements were led.:e-rt,
for their speedy completion. He Afterwards exa-
mined the Buffilo, iron steam storeship, in No. 1
dock, which is being coated interuall; with Day's
composition on one side, and Spencer's composition
on the other, as an experiment. Her bottom is also
being coated externally with Muntz's metal, on a
plan proposed by Mr. Griffith. The Chief Construe-
tor also inspected the new target and raft, weigh-
ing about 00 tons, which has been built at w„,i_
wich for the purpose of testing the 300 pounder
guns at Shoeburyness, and was then successfully:
launched at high water. He returned to the Ad-
miralty at 1 a.m.

Mr, Ferrand, M.P., and his Constituents

Mr. Ferrand, one of the parliamentary represen-
tative of Devonport, addressed some two thousand
of the inhabitants of that townon Wednesday night,
and was enthusiastically received. In a jubilant
tone he praised the electors for placing him in his
proud position, and plumed himself on having
fought and won the battle of the independence of
the borough, although opposed by the first naval
Lord, sent down by " that tyrant," the Duke of
Somerset, that the dockyard electors might be
effectually coerced. The radicals had joined with
the Conservatives in cheering when they first saw
Mr. Ferrand enter the House, for they knew that an
honest man had entered its portals. It was such a
man that Sir Arthur Buller had vilified and tra-
duced—to defend himself from which attack Mr..
Ferrand then spoke at length, explaining that the
course he had taken with regard to the objectionable
Admiralty note of 1861 was not, as alleged, " ex-
cessively mild," but that the questions put were
searching, although without practical result. He,
at least had done his best to obtain justice for the
docyardsmen. In proceeding t) st:ow. how ex-
tremely diligent and successful he had bern in pro-
moting the interests of his constituents, MrYcrrand
cited his speeches in favour of Sir J. Hay's :notion
for the redress of a naval grievance ; in favo lr of
the employment of Lancashirp „pperatives in
agriculture; and in favour • iVtititt.tiVe4iNirr;

sloes to hired artificers in the dockyards.
Against the restriction of railway cqmpensa-
tion to £lOO ; against the grant for a Constan-
tinople architect, against the abolition of church
rates, against the purchase of the land and building
of the South Kensington Exhibition, and against
the ba'dot had Mr. Ferrand voted, and the majority
of the house had gone with him. He had opposed.
Mr. Reed's appointment as chief ship-constructor,
for he had neither built a ship nor held responsible
post in the navy yards. The question of super-
annuation of hired artificers would have been
brought forward by Mr. Ferrand had he not been
away from England ; Mr. Hennessy did it for him.
These and other domestic matters were touched
upon discursively, and Mr. Ferrand's assertion
that he had been to the Devonport electors a first:
class representative, was re.csc,eeirveedlio.l'ittlhyvbbehanemdleend.t,
