Naval and Military Intelligence.

. Several of the most experienced officials connected
with the master shipbuilder's staff at Chatham
dockyard have been despatched from that establish-
ment to superintend, on the part of the Admiralty,
the construction of the fleet of iron steam transports
now being built for the Government by various
eminent iron shipbuilding firms in this, country,
the whole of the vessels being intended to be'dm=,
ployed exclusively in the rapid transport of troops
between England and India. Already oonsikrable
progress has been made in the construction of thii
new fleet of steamers, and some particulars respecting
the vessels comprising it may not be without hitbrest.
It is intended to commence the service•in Wont a
year, by which period it is fully expeCted- the -fine;
large steamers with which it is to be carried on, in
the first instance, will be completed and fit for sea,
each of the vessels being already in frame in'the
dockyards of the various private firms tp whom their
construction has been intrusted by the point arrange-
ments of the Admiralty and the Hon: -Council of
India. These firms are Messrs,
_Ltlircl,
,I3rothers,
Birkenhead; Messrs N spier, Glasgow; the Thames
Ironwork and Shipbuilding Company; Messrs. Wig-
ram and Co., and Messrs. Palmer and Co., of Jar-
row, the respective vesselsbeing named the Euphrates,
Malabar, Serapis, Crocodile, and Jumna. These fine
steamships, which are of the largest and most power-
ful class, are to cost nearly one million sterling.
They will exactly resemble each other in every re-
spect, each vessel being, in fact, constructed from
the same designs. Their principal dimensions are :
Length between the perpendiculars, 360 f t. ; length
of keel for tonnage, 326 ft. ; extreme breadth, 49ft. ;
depth in hold, 22ft. 4in. ; burden in tons, 4,173 ; mean
draught of water, 20ft.; nominal horse power of en-
gines, 700; indicated horse power, 4,200. With these
engines it is anticipated that each vessel will be pro-
pelled at a mean speed of about 16 statute miles,
or 14 knots, per hour. As they are intended to
carry the enormous quantity of 1,250 tons of coal
each, they will be capable of steaming continuously
at a high speed for from 16 to 21 days together.
From the above particulars it will be seen that the
new transports are to be 20ft. longer, 3ft. greater
breadth of beam, of 700 tons greater tonnage, and
a knot an hour faster than the now famous
Himalaya, which has hitherto proved herself by far
the finest existing steam transport. From the ex-
treme care with which the whole of the internal
arrangements of the several ships have been planned
by Captain Mends, C. 8., the Admiralty Direc-
tor of Transports, in conjunction with Mr. Reed,
the Chief Constructor of the Navy, who has designed
the vessels, it is anticipated that they will surpass
the Himalaya in accommodation, ventilation, and
other equally essential qualities of passenger steam-
ships. These results will be greatly facilitated and
the security of the ships largely increased by the
adoption in them of the new system of double-
bottom cellular construction, which has been carried
out for the first time in our iron ships-of-war on the
iron frigate Bellerophon, now being prepared for
sea at Chatham. The circumstances connected with
the designing of the iron transport fleet are some-
what unusual, and deserve more than a passing re-
mark. On the announcement of the order for the
construction of the frigates being received at the
Admiralty, and the statement of the number of
troops and officers to be carried, with other require-
ments sent in by the Transport Board, Mr. Reed, it
is understood, suggested that the design

structor for the general information of the Admiralty
and the India-office. Not one of the designs, how-
ever, sent in by the private firms from whom tenders
were solicited was of that character which could in-
duce the transport officers to recommend its adop-

tion of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires,
or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth
as not to be distinguished fro .n the originals by the closest
observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will
be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This
method does not require the extraction of roots, or any pain-
ful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are
loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastica-
tion. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful

transports may be inferred from the fact that they
will each afford ample accommodation for no less
than 1,250 officers, troops, women, and children, in
addition to its complement of 200 officers and sea-
men employed in navigating the ship. Of the five

The will of the Rev. Robert Moore, M.A., Canon

Intended Metropolitan Improvements.

(From the Observer)
As the time approaches for the notices for bills to
be presented to Parliament for publication in the
Gazette in November, we are happy to learn that
the Metropolitan Board of Works have agreed to a
measure of some magnitude, and of undoubted
utility. A committee of the whole body has recom-
mended that application shall be made to Parliament
in the ensuing session for powers to purchase North-
umberland House at Charing-cross, and all property
on either side, to the new premises at the National
Bank on the west, and to Northumberland-street
Strand, upon the east. This with a view to open
a wide-street from Charing-cross to the Thames
Embankment. If carried out according to the pro-
posed plan it will be one of the finest and most use-
ful improvements in our time. It will be fine in
an architectural point of view, and it will supply
one of the most necessary and desirable thorough-
fares in London. It will really and materially
relieve the Strand and Fleet-street more than any
plan that has been hitheto projected. The railway
from Charing-cross to Cannon-street will be most
useful, when opened. But there will still be wanted
a thoroughfare for private carriages and fast cabs.
There can be no doubt that the recommendation of
this general committee --having been carried unani-
mously—will be adopted by the board at their meet-
ing on Friday next. It stood upon the paper last
Friday, but was postponed, with all the other busi-
ness, out of respect to the memory of Lord Palmer-
ston.

It is intended to purchase a wide extent of pro-
perty, and to resell all that is not required for the
street for buildings of a superior class. Amongst
other things it is supposed that a site may be taken
for the new buildings of the Royal Academy of

It is calculated that the sale of the surplus land on

most responsible committee, which has been most
chary—too much so as most people think—of enter-
ing upon any schemes for the architectural improve-
ment of the metropolis and the widening of the
public thoroughfares.
We trust that the widening of Park-lane will not
be overlooked. These are the sort of schemes that
will insure for the Metropolitan Board a judicious
and lasting popularity.

The death of the Hon. D. C. Smith, Secretary
and Acting-Governor of Idaho Territory, is confirmed.
Ho fell dead in the streets of Rocky Bar. He was from Now
York, and formerly Chief Clerk undor Attorney-General
Bates at Washington.
The approaching election in the State of New
York excites much interest. The campaign was formally
opened on the 9th instant, by a speech at Yenkers, by the
Hon. Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts, who defended the
President from the friendship of the Democracy. The
vote is expected to be very close in the State.
