Lieut. G. Wilainson, from her Majesty's survey-
ing ship Medina, Capt. Spratt, C. 8., ordered to be
broken up at Malta, yesterday reported himself at
Woolwich, in fulfilment of oripra to superintend the
fitting out of the Hydra, about to take the place of
the Medina in surveying service on the Mediter-
ranean.

The internal fitment and armour-plating of the
Caledonia, at Woolwich, continue to progress most
favourably. Yesterday the process of bending the
stern-p;ates, which require a red heat, was carried
out successfully by means of a new apparatus
erected on trial. The L6conning towers" erected on
the quarter-deck, suggested by Mr. Turner, the
master-shipwright of the yard, are Completed. They
are intended to be used to oppose the attack of a

armour-plating with which they are' to' be secured
after her first voyage at sea. The burden of the ves-

in height, and her ventilation superior to that, of_any
vessel now afloat. The hooks to support the hammocks
are fixed on an improved principle, adopted by Mr.'
Turner, and applied only in the Caledonia, viz.,made
hot and shrunk to the iron beams, and are conse-
quently immovable, thereby remedying the inconve-
nience usually felt in the constant shifting of the
hammocks at night.

Her Majesty's screw steam gun vessel Colum-
bine, 4 guns, 669 tons, recently commissioned by
Commander T. Le H. Ward for service in the Chan-
nel fleet, was taken for the final trial of her engines
at the measured mile off Maplin Sands on Thurs-
day last. The vessel was in charge of Capt. Hall,
C. 8., of the Cumberland, guardship of the Sheer.
ness steam reserve. Messrs. W. Rumble, inspec-
tor of machinery afloat, and G. Blaxland, chief
engineer of her Majesty's dockyard at Sheer-
ness, were in attendance to watch the results.
The vessel made six runs at full speed on the mea-
sured mile. The following were the results :
Average speed 9504 knots per hour, revolutions of
engines maximum 107, mean 1035, pressure of
steam 231 b., vacuum 23. Four runs were made at
half-boiler, with an average speed of 7.541 knots
per hour, the revolutions of engines being maximum
88, mean 80.5, vacuum 25, pressure of steam 20.
The Columbine is fitted with direct aotion horizon-
tal engines of 150 nominal and 600 Indicated horse-
power. She has a Griffith's screw, the pitch of
which is 13ft., and the diameter 10ft., supplied by
the Greenock Foundry Company. During the trial
the machinery worked in a most satisfactory man-
ner, there being no priming or hot bearings. The
vessel is also fitted with Lumley's patent rudder, to
test the advantages of which a series of competitive
trials were conducted some time ago, reports of
hich appeared in The Sun, and which resulted in
an advantage in favour of Lumley's over the old
rudder by upwards of 50
per cent. On Friday the
Columbine was again tested on the circle at full and
half speed. At full speed, with helm to starboard
21 degrees, the time of turning the circle was 4min.
12 sec., the diameter of the circle being 238 yards ;
with helm to port 221 degrees the time taken was
4 min. 29 sec., the diameter being 318 yards. At
half speed the helm to starboard 25 degrees, the
time was 4 min. 27 sec., the diameter 212 yards ;
helm to port 211 degrees, the time was 4 min. 59
sec., the diameter being 318 yards. The trial was
considered most satisfactory.
The name of the paymaster of the Sanspareil,
who died during her passage home from China, is
Mr. George Penfold, who was appointed to her on
the 7th of June, 1862.

The plans submitted to the Admiralty for the
conversion of the 50-gun frigate Belvidera, Low on
the stocks at Chatham dockyard, to an iron-clad
frigate of the Royal Oak class, from the designs of
Mr. Lang, the master-shipbuilder at that establish-
ment, having received the sanction of their lord-
ships, orders have been given for the converting of
the Belvidera to be commenced as speedily as pos-
sible. The alterations will necessitate the removal
of the frame of the frigate from No. 4 slip on which
she is at present standing, and her re-erection on No.
7 slip, which latter alone presents facilities for car-
rying on the construction of an armour-plated vessel.

Russell's brigade, consisting of the Ist battalion 3d
Buffs, the Ist battalion 24th Regiment, the 64th
Regiment, and the Ist battalion 6th Regiment,
passed over the pontoon in 20 minutes. After some
further movements, the troops filed off to their
respective quarters, and his Royal Highness pro-
ceeded to lunch with Lieut.-Gen. Sir J. L. Penne-
father, returning to London by the 120 train. The
half-yearly inspections last week at Aldershott have
comprised the following:—On Tuesday last Major-
Gen. Russell inspected the Ist battalion 6th Regi-
ment (Royal Ist Warwickshire). The battalion,
having marched past in slow and quick time,
was put through the bayonet exercise, light infan-
try drill, and other movements, which were exe-
cuted in so satisfactory a manner that the Brigadier
expressed his high approbation to the commanding
officer, Col. Lowe, C.B. The Ist (Royal) Dragoons
were inspected on Tuesday and Wednesday by
Major-Gen. Hodge, C. 8., who expressed himself to
Col. Wardlaw as much pleased with the soldierly
bearing and general appearance of the regiment. In
the previous week the Commissariat Staff Corps
were inspected by Brigadier-Gen. Bates, who was
much gratified with the efficiency displayed. De-
puty Acting Commissary• Gem Marston put the
detachment through the manual and platoon exer-
cise, after which it was put through several batta-
lion movements by Acting Commissary-General
Fagan, and the company drill by Deputy Acting
Commissary-Gen. Elkington. Theschool-hut at the

The Accident on the London, Brighton, and
South Coast Railway.

Up to a late hour last night no announcement
had been made from the Military Hospital, St.
Thomas's, or Streatham, of any death from the late
accident in addition to those already reported. The
most critical case is that of Tribe, the fireman, who
still lies in a dangerous and almost hopeless condi-
tion, a large splinter of wood having been forced
into the side of his head, and which with great
difficulty was successfully extracted yesterday. Its
removal gave him great relief. He suffers, however,
from the infliction of severe blows on the forehead
and burns and scads over his body. The inquest
on the engine-driver, Salmon, was formally
opened before Mr. Carter yesterday, but the pro-
ceedings are adjourned to give time for the requisite
investigation and evidence. The preliminary steps
for this purpose were taken yesterday by Colonel
Yolland, the Government Inspector, who, with Mr.
Banister, the resident engineer of the company, Mr.
Hawkins, Mr. Francis, and other officers, minutely
inspected the spot where the accident happened, with
the view of reporting on it to the Board of Trade and
the railway company. The directors also had a
special board meeting at the London-bridge Termi-
nus, with a view to further the inquiry and obtain
all possible information as to the probable cause of
it. The company, in compliance with the Act of
Parliament, have already sent in a report of the
accident to the Board of Trade, upon which the
board take action.

Upon inquiry at the GrenaCier Hospital last night
our reporter was informed that, with the exception
of two of the sufferers, C. Lewis and J. Chapman,
the unfortunate men were progressing favourably.
The condition of the two men above-mentioned is,
however, not so satisfactory. Lewis is suffering from
a broken arm and severe injuries to his hand. Chap-
man has also an arm broken in two places. Both
are exceedingly weak, and will require much care.
John Gettins, one of eight men who were in the
fourth carriage at the timeof the catastrophe, being
a married man, was permitted to leave the hospital
yesterday. He has received sev(ral severe flesh
wounds, but is now comparatively well. The fol-
lowing is his account of the accident :
" When we left Eastbourne we proceeded very
slowly till we reached Lewes, where the train started
as an express, with about 30 carriages. As soon as we
left the station our speed was increased to, I am sure,
fully 50 miles an hour. We continued at this rate till
we neared I think it is called Norwood station,
where we stopped for a few minutes. During the
journey to the station the carriage I was in rocked
very much, and I remarked to one of my
I
comrades This is rough travelling.' The train,
believe, was due at 20 minutes past 6, and it was
exactly that time whea we arrived at Norwood sta-
tion. We again started at the shaemne speed and con-
the carriage I
tinued for about three milehs,frwem

five succeeding carriages seemed to have sprung
over it. The rails, too, were torn up and twisted like
pieces
of wire. Strange to say, not one person in the
first carriage was hurt, while those in the second,
third, and fourth were more or less injured. The two
poor fellows who were killed were riding in the fifth
carriage from the engine. Ido not remember seeing ,
