Yesterday the shipwrights at Chatham dockyard
commenced preparing the blocks in No. 3 dock for
docking the large paddlewheel steamer Terrible, 21,
1,850 tons, 800-horse power, in order that she may
be surveyed to ascertain the injuries she received
from her recent stranding. In consequence of her
great size it will be necessary to remove her paddle-
wheels, and even then the operation of docking her
will have tobe performed with great care, the extreme
breadth of her beam to the outside of her paddle-
boxes being 75ft. 4in., and the breadth of the dock
inside the castiron bollards being only 76ft.-18in:-,-
leaving lft. 6in. only clear. As it is, the tramway
and platform laid down to facilitate the plating of
the ironclad frigate Royal Oak will have to be clear
away before the Terrible can be docked. She is to
be brought forward to accompany the Great Eastern
in laying down the Atlantic telegraph cable.

The Challenger, 22, screw steam corvette, 1,462
tons, 400-horse power, Captain J. Kennedy,. C. 8.,
which is now being dismantled preparatory to being
paid out of commission at Sheerness, is by orders
received yesterday from the Admiralty to be imme-
diately got ready for re-commission. Her stores,
guns, ammunition, &c., will be removed to the dock-
yard in such a manner that they can at once be re-
placed, on board the ship when she has had the
necessary repairs effected.
The Barracouta, 6, paddlewheel sloop, 1,053 tons,

paired and refitted in Sheerness-yard, are ordered to

of Commander Henry Garrett, an officer who served
at Trafalgar. He was born at Hambledon, Hants,

dition to the West Indies in pursuit of the combined

co-operation with the patriots on the north coast of
Spain, and was wounded while in command of a
battery at Santander. He was paid off in March,

charge of the Semaphore Station at Holder-hill, in
Sussex; from 1841 he was similarly employed at
Beacon-hill, Hants, until those stations were done
away with ; on the 28th of July, 1851, he was made
a Commander on reserved half-pay.
