Naval and Military Intelligence.
The committee appointed by Earl de Grey and
Ripon; Secretary of State for War, to inspect and
report upon the Government gunpowder magazines,
both on shore and afloat, consisting of Gen. Sir J. F.
Burgoyne, G.C.8., Director-4eneral of Works,
president ; Major-Gen. J.-St. George, C.B . , Royal
Artillery, Director-General of Ordnance ; Lieut.-
Col. E. M. Boxer, F.R.S., Royal Artillery, Super-
intendent of Royal Laboratories; Capt. J. C. Caffin,
C. 8., Royal Navy, Director of " Stores, and Naval
Director-General of Artillery, with- other officers,
and Capt. the Hon. George Wrottesley, Royal En-
gineers, secretary, arrived at Chatham yesterday,
and commenced their inspection and inquiry into the
system for the storage of powder, shells, and cart-
ridges at the several Government magazines at that
garrison. The committee were met on their arrival
at Chatham by Col. F. M, Cromartie, the Superin;
tendent of Stores, and other heads of departments,
and proceeded in the first instance to the Upnor
Castle gunpowder stores, facing Chatham dockyard,
on the opposite side of the harbour. These stores
contain the whole of the powder and shell required
for the squadrons at Chatham and Sheerness, as well
as the ammunition for the use of the troops quartered
in the district, and for the Artillery and Rifle Volun-
teers. The magazines and stores cover a considerable
extent of ground, and within the last few years
have been greatly enlarged, until they are now
among the most extensive of their kind in this country.
The Crown being the owner`bf little of the land in
the neighbourhood, with the exception of the site on
which the buildings actually stand, houses are erected
almost close up to the boundary wall of the maga-
zines, while close to the waterside of the stores steam-
boats are calling at the Upnor-pier at short intervals
throughout the day. It is, however, in consequence
of their proximity to Chatham dockyard that.
the Government ought long since to have removed
the magazines from the locality, and placed them
some miles down the river, on the dreary wastes
between Chatham and the Nore, far removed from
any dwellings. The danger to which the dockyard
has been long liable will be increased tenfold on the
completion of the dockyard extension works, the
largest of the three steam basins now under con-
struction being exactly oppositethe Castle, in which
the chief store of powder is deposited, and this cir-
cumstance did not escape the attention of the com-
mittee yesterday. After completing their inspection
at Upnor Castle the members of the committee
crossed the river and proceeded to visit the forts
and magazines within the citadel, directing their at-
tention, in the first instance, to the grand magazine,
adjoining the Royal Engineer field works, which is
constructed not only for the reception of large stores
of powder, but also for many millions of cartridges
for the supply of the forces within the district. Al-
though every necessary precaution is taken to pre-
vent any accidents at this magazine it has always
been a source of anxiety to the authorities that it is
not sufficiently isolated, a public roadway passing
close to the boundary rail of the building, and
within a few yards of the magazine. The other
forts and magazines in which the principal storages
of gunpowder are made at Chatham are the Fort
Amherst and the- Belvedere magazines, besides
smaller stores, both of which were visited by the
members of the committee. There was, however,
nothing in the situation or internal arrangements of
these to call for any special comments. The day's
inspection was brought to a close late in the after-
noon.

Theiron paddlewheel steamer Lizard, 3,150-horse
power, Lieut. Commander Challis, fitting for ser-
vice on the coast of Scotland in the protection of the
fisheries, has undergone a careful survey since she has
been in dock to ascertain the working of the new
Lumley rudder, with which she has been fitted.
The result was most satisfactory, the rudder
showing that no wear whatever had taken place,
and that the steering apparatus was in as good a
condition as when fitted to the vessel at the com-
mencement of last summer, and that notwithstand-
ing the severe weather experienced by the vessel last
year. In an official communication received from
the Lords of the Admiralty, their lordships state
that the commanding officer reports that he is well
satisfied with the action of the new rudder, particu-
larly in narrow and tortuous channels, as the ship
requires less helm. When the helm is hard over her
way is considerably deadened, which is a great ad-
vantage when there is danger of a collision.
The operation of fixing the false keel to the iron-
clad frigate Lord Warden, building at Chatham, in
anticipation of the launch of that vessel at an early
period, was commenced yesterday. The work of
completing the frigate is being pushed forward with
as much energy as the resources of the dockyard will
permit, and nearly a thousand workmen are em-
ployed about her externally and internally. The
last of the broadside iron deck beam which carry
the upper deck has been fixed in its place, and a
commencement has been made in laying the decks,
the main and lower decks being already completed.
The external teak-planking, to which the armour-
plates will be fastened, is bolted to the timbers by
means of gal-vanized iron bolts, instead of the copper
bolts usually employed for this purpose. Little
progress will be made in the way of fixing the ar-
mourplates to the sides of the frigate until she has
been docked, the requisite machinery not having
been fitted on the building slip for expeditiously
fitting the armourplates.
The work of removing a portion of the paddle-
boxes of the large paddlewheel steamer Terrible, 21,
800-home power, is at once to be proceeded with, in
order that she may be ready for being floated into
No. 3 dock at Chatham during the approaching
spring tides, with the view to being examined and
having the injuries she sustained from her late
stranding made good. It is announced at Chatham
that the Terrible, with some other large and power-
ful steamers, will accompany the Great Eastern to
assist in the work of laying down the Atlantic
telegraph cable, and that during the time she is in
dock at Chatham opportunity will be taken for fit-
ting her for the particular service for which she is
intended.
Her Majesty's ship Saturn, which is now used as
a naval hospital and storeship at Pembroke-dock,
will shortly be broken up and replaced by the train-
ing ship Blenheim. It is not known yet what vessel
will take the place of the Blenheim as a training
ship.
We have to record the death of Captain Robert
Harris, R.N., which took place at his residence at
Southsea, Portsmouth, on the 16th inst. We learn
from O'Byrne that the deceased officer entered the
Royal Navy in 1822 as a volunteer on board the
Euryalus, 42, and in 1824 was employed at the
blockade of Algiers. He afterwards served on board
the Ferret, the Royal George yacht, and the Onyx
and Pantaloon tenders to the yacht. In the Excel-
lent gunnery-ship, as lieutenant, his scientific ac-
quirements secured the highest possible certificate.
In the Melville, 72, bearing the flags for some time
of Admirals Sir Peter Halket and the Hon. George
Elliot, Lieut. Harris served for four years as gun-
nery-lieutenant in North America and the West
Indies, on the Cape of Good Hope and China sta-
tions, and took part in various military operations.
Capt. Harris's last services, however, were the most
important, and with them his name must always
remain indissolubly connected. This was the
organization and introduction into her Majesty's
service of the naval cadet and boys' training ship
system, a task for the execution of which Cap-
tain Harris was specially selected by the Ad-
miralty. How this arduous task was carried out
is best exemplified by a reference to the means
placed s disposal in the one ship
(illustrious)
thaej t scheme at its commence-
ment,resent admirably arranged Britan-
nia,usio at
and
usCapt. for
o pr Harris's
with a College in prospective, for the naval
cadets, and a training ship for boys now in every
naval port_ in the kingdom. For several years he

laboured at this duty, and none but his personal
friends can know the amount of zeal he brought to
bear upon it, or the tact with which he worked out
the important plans intrusted to his care.
Rear-Admiral Sidney Colpoys Dacres, C. 8., the

present Commander-in-Chief of the Channel Fleet,
yesterday morning embarked on board her Majesty's
paddle-steamer Fire-Queen, Staff Commander Paul,
from Portsmouth dockyard, and proceeded to Spit-
head, where the Admiral boarded, and officially in-
spected the screw frigate Aurora, Capt. Sir Leopold
M'Clintock, then under sailing orders for the West
Indies. The Aurora was to sail from Spithead last
evening for Barbadoes, calling in at Plymouth
Sound on her way down Channel. The Aurora is
one of the handsomest wooden frigates in her Ma-
jesty's navy. She is in unexceptionable order in
every part, and her crew are in excellent discipline.
The ship's armament is arranged as follows :—On
main deck, 14 8-in. guns, 65cwt., 12 64-pounders,
60cwt., muzzle-loaders ; upper deck, eight 40-
p ounders, 35cwt., one 7in., 82cwt., breech-loaders ;
total, 35. Two 20-pounder boat guns, one 9-
pounder ditto, one 12-pounder field gun, one 6-
pounder brass gun for short practice.
The following appointments were made yester-
day at the Admiralty :—Robtert H. Stewart, naval
cadet, to the Victoria ; Chas. H. Cochran, naval
cadet, to the Royal Oak; Frederick H. Chown,
assist.-paymaster, to the Princess Royal; Thurston
Stringer, second master, to the Landrail ; Thos. J.
H. Rapson, second master, to the Black Prince; Geo.
W. Balliston, master's assistant, to the Laudrail ;
Edward W. Newenham, clerk, to the Severn ; Geo.
A. Murray, assist.-clerk, to the Victoria ; Philip T.
Gruchy, engineer, to the Victoria and Albert ; John
Wright and Chas. E. Stewart, assist.-engineers, to
the Indus as supernumeraries ; and Jas. Murray,
assist.-engineer, to the Asia, for hospital treatment.
