Mr. E. J. Reed, Chief Constructor of the ni I'IT,
visited Woolwich Dockyard on Wednesday, al- (I)
accompanied by the Commodore Superintendeck, ,
Sir F. W. E. Nicolson, C. 8., and Mr. Tnorntori a
assistant master shipwright, inspected the prepara
tions making, for building the armour-plated frigate
Pallas on No. 6 slip. Arrangements were made
for putting additional workmen on the ve..sel im-
mediately, so as to complete the frame as soon
as possible. The other vacant bui ding slips
were also examined, with a view to deter-
mine the size of the vessels which could be built
upon them. Mr. Reed also inspected the several
vest:e:s under repair, and arrangements were made
for their speedy
completion. He afterwards exa-
mined the Buff,do, iron steam storeship, in No. I
dock, which is being coated internally with Dly's
composition en 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 Construc-
tor also inspected the new target and raft, weigh-
ing about 90 tons, which has been built at Wool-
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, Ferranti, M.P., and his Constituents.

Mr. Ferrand, one of the parliamentary represen-
tative of .vonport, addressed some two thousand
El
of the inhabitants of that town on 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
doeyardsmen, In proceeding te stow how ex-
tremely diligent and successful he herd been in pro-
moting the interests of his constituents, MrFerrand
cited his speeches in favour of Sir J. Hay's motion
for the redress of a naval grievance) in favour of
the employment of Lancashire operatives in
agriculture; and in favour of granting pen-
sions to hired artificers in the dockyards.
Against the restriction of railway compensa-
tion to £100; 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 ballot 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
broneht 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 Davenport electors a first-
class representative, was received with vehement
applause. Foreign topics were lightly handled,
but the Whig government was roundly abused, in
that it had cheated the country out of a reform
bill; Lord Palmerston and Lord Russell carried
matters their own way, and had forced or were

land, Russia, and Prussia. Japan,
;way would
possibly be short,for when Parliament again met, if
a motion of want of confidence was made he wculd
support it, and it would be sure to be carried, With
a very slight show of opposition a cordia' approval
of Mr. Ferrand's doings was adopted by the
meting.
