THE NAVY.
Her Afajesty's steam storeship ithadamanthus,

Master-Commander Raymond, yesterday returned
to Woolwich under orders to load with steam gear

For the West. On account of the basins in the dock-

yard being closed by a coffer-dam at the outer
entrance for its enlargement preparatory to the re-
ception of the armour-cased ship Caledonia, all
shipments are carried out from the wharf by means
of temporary sheers erected for the purpose on the

outside of the basin wail. The boilers of the Basi-

lisle, paddlewheel frigate, were yesterday hauled up
by the same:sheers, and the vessel is ordered to be
removed to Deptford to be repaired and fitted for
service, for want of present accommodation at Wool-
wich.

Tho Columbine, 4, screw steam corvette, 669
tons, 150 horse power, Commander T. Le H.Ward,
was inspected by Vice-Admiral Sir W. J. Hope
Johnstone, K.C.8., and Staff, Commander-in-Chief
at Sheerness, on Monday last, and sailed yesterday
from Sheerress, for Portland, having been commis-
sioned for service in the Channel fleet.

The Wye, iron screw storeship, 100 horse power,
Master-Commanding Valentine G. Roberts, has
undergone a thorough overhauling in Sheerness
dockyard, and was removed on Monday out of dock
into basin, where she will befitted with new boilers
and machinery.
The Herring, gunboat, 60 horse power, Lieut.-
Commander John R. D. Cooper, tender to the Edin-
burgh, 60, screw steam Coastguard ship at Queens-
ferry, has been extensively repaired and supplied
with new boilers at Sheerness dockyard, and was
on Saturday last removed into the harbour, where
she has had her compasses adjusted. She will
shortly leave for Queensferry,andresume her duties
as tender.

In accordance with directions received from the
Admiralty, steam machinery is to be applied to the
sheers used for masting the ships fitting at the Nore.
It is now confidently stated that the Achilles will
be ready to be floated out of the dock in which she-
is building during the approaching month of Sept.,
or some three or four months earlier than was ori-
ginally anticipated. Up to yesterday 150 of her
armour plates, or nearly one half of the whole num-
ber, had been bolted to her sides. On the port and
starboard quarters the plates are of an uniform
thickness of 44in., but in the less exposed portions
plates varying from 4in. to 3in. will be used. The
whole of the slabs of iron hitherto used have been
prepared at the Parkgate Ironworks, Yorkshire,
and are of rolled iron, which, besides being easier
to work, is believed to possess
.several important
advantages over the plates formed out of the ham-
mering process. Each plate is 15ft. in length by
about 3ft. 3in. in width, but during the last few
days several new kinds of plates have been received
at the dockyard of a size lunch larger than any
hitherto used at the establishment. These have all

been subjected to the usual tests, which they have
stood without showing any appreciable flaw. Up
to within the last few days the steam sawing mills
have been working extra hours to prepare the tim-
bers for the 18in. teak planking between the inner
and outer plates of the frigate to which the armour
plates will be bolted, but enough having been pre-
pared the saw mills have ceased working over time.

Excepting a portion of the stem and stern all the
planking is fixed. Passing on board the frigato no
less activity is perceptible than is to be witnessed

on her exterior parts. The mechanics are just now
busy in completing the watertight bulkheads or

compartments, of which there will be no fewer than
18. By means of them the Achilles can be kept
afloat even when partially disabled. Most of the
iron-deck plating on the upper deck is all riveted
to its place, and only awaits the ordinary wooden
planking. A steam-engine has been erected on the
upper deck to facilitate the raising of the heavy ma-
terials required. Although the Achilles is built
after the model of the Warrior she will be ♦ery
much superior to the latter in her general construc-
tion.

Some very important tenting of English and fo-
reign armour-plates of various dimensions will com-
mence at Portsmouth to-day, and will bo continued
over to-morrow and Friday.
The Resistance, 16, screw iron frigate, Capt. W.
C. Chamberlain, in No. 10 dock at Portsmouth, was
yesterday officially examined and reported upon by
the Master Shipwright and his staff relative to the
condition of her bottom plates, which when the ship
was last in dock were coated on opposite sides with
the composition of Mr. Hay, the chemical assistant
at Portsmouth dockyard, and that of Messrs. Pea-
cock and Buchan, as applied to the bottoms of the
steamships of the Peninsular and Oriental Com-
pany. The ship has since then been afloat less than
seven months, and, considering the time, both sides
of her bottom are foul ; one, however, is much more
so than the other, and is also more covered with
barnacles. The starboard side has long grass in the
wash of the water-way at the bow and quarter, and
the remainder of that side of the bottom is studded
with small tufts of grass averaging one inch in

lengtb, and from three or four inches apart,
There are also a few patches of barnacles
where the composition has been disturbed, but
in very few other places ; and there are very

few spots of corrosion. The port side has the
same description and length of grass at the bow and
quarter, and the same description of short tufts of
grass, studded at about the same intervals, but it has
more adhesive matter altogether than the opposite
side. The surface of the composition from the keel
to the bilge plates amidships is thickly studded
with barnacles. This having been the working
anchor's aide, there is the usual amount of corrosion
to be seen on the bow from the abrasion of the com-
position by the chain cable, which must always at-
tend the use of copper anti-fouling compositions on
the bottom of iron ships.
The Emerald, 34, screw frigate, Capt. A. Cum-
ming, having completed her series (four) of experi-
mental screw trials at Portsmouth, yesterday, ship-
ped her own propeller, and this morning will go out
Of harbour and join the other ships at Spithead
anchorage.
The Duke of Wellington, 131, screw three-decker
seamen's depot ship at Portsmouth, Capt. John
Seeconabe, yesterday commenced masting under the
sheers of Portsmouth dockyard. She will be fully
masted and rigged, and we trust to hear of her re-
ceiving orders to cruise in the Channel under can-
vass, where her men would be better employed in
perfecting themselves in their duties as seamen than
they ever can be learning to do duty as dockyard
labourers.
The Geyser, paddle steamer, arrived at Ports-
mouth yesterday with the military and naval super-
numeraries and invalids from China and St. Helena
who arrived at Devonport on Sunday, on board
her Majesty's ship Sanspareil. They consisted of
seven men of the 67th Regiment, 20 men of the
99th, three men of the 31st, two men of the R )yal
Engineers, two men of the Commissary. Depart-
ment, and eight women and children, under the
command of Captain Townsend, of the 99th
Regiment ; one military prisoner, under sen-
tence of penal servitude for life for killing a Chinese
woman, and one for two years' imprisonment
for striking his superior officer. The military in-
valids were forwarded to Netley Hospital, the naval
to her Majesty's ship Victory, and the military
time-expired men to their respective depots. The
Geyser also brought from the Sanspareil 55 non-
commissioned officers and men of the Royal Artil-
lery, under Lieut. Lloyd, who arrived home in the
ship from 3t. Helena. They were landed and sent
into temporary quarters at Portsmouth.
