malle the same statement, when Linen the .K worse of
liquor. On the Monday he removed her accord-
ingly. I never threatened to give him three months'
imprisonment. I only supposed he was able to sup
port his wife from what he himself said.
The Coroner--Did the chairman of the board of
guardians ask deceased whether Crippiu was in
employment and could support his wife ?
Witness replied that that question was not asked.
1)r. Richardson said that he performed a post
mortem examination of deceased, and found u
chronic inflammatioh..of the stomach.' The canse
of death was inflammation of the stomach and
diseased Deceased presented a most ern:4cl-
ared appearance, and seemed to have been much
starved. She brad been of intemperate habits, and
such habits might. have ptodneed such disease.
The Coroner staid that as Crippin was too iii to
attend to sustain his account of the circumstances
of the Ouse he had no option but to again adjourn
the court.
The court was accordingly adjourned.

7 ICE NA FY.

The screw steam sloop Africa, 4, 669 tons, left
Plymouth on Sunday, under the flag of the Emperor
of China—green ground, yellow border, and yellow
diagonal cross,—having been purchased by His
Imperial Majesty. She is now called the China.
This sloop will bear the pennant of Capt. Sherard
Osborne, RN., and will be in charge of Commander
Allan Young. She is to be masted, rigged, and
equipped for sea in the Victoria Docks, London,
where the Amoy (late Jasper, 1, gunvessel, 301
tons, 80-horse power), Lieut. Arthur Salway, R.N.,
is under equipment. The third ship belonging to
the squadron, the screw gunvessel Mohawk, 4, 697
tons, with engines of 200-horse power, is com-
manded by Capt. Burgoyne, R.N. There will be
a redundancy of commissioned officers on board each
ship. The squadron will, after equipment, proceed
for Pekin.

Yesterday the Jasper, 5, screw steam gunvessel,
425 tons, made an official trial of her engines. The
vessel left the harbour of Sheerness in charge of
Captain T. P. Thompson, and proceeded to the
measured mile off Maplin Sands. The engines are
of 80 nominal and 300 indicated horse-power. The
trial was considered by all the parties interested to
be of a most satisfactory nature.

The mechanical al rangements for fitting and fix-
ing the armour plates of the Prince Consort at
Pembroke dockyard have been completed. These
arrangements, which have been devised and carried
out under the superintendence of Mr. J. Inman
Fincham, the master shipwright of the yard, pro-
vide for an economical system of work, and have
been warmly commended by the Board of Admi-
ralty. Tramways have been laid down from the
landing wharf to the ship's sides and to the
machine-house, and steam cranes for raising and
lowering the plates have been placed upon them
on wheels, so that the huge plates, weighing several
tons each, can be transported from the wharf either
to their places on the side of the ship or to the
machine house and back again in a very few
minutes. The machine-house contains numerous
well-selected machines for bending, planing, and
drilling the plateb, and furnaces for annealing them
when necessary. The workmen are busily occupied
in fixing the armour upon the Prince Consort.

The Edgar, 86, screw, Capt. the Hon. F. F. Foley,
just completed in her fitment at Portsmouth as the
flagship of Rear-Admiral S. C. Dacres, C. 8., for
service in the Mediterranean, yesterday made her
official trial of machinery, &c., under the supervi-
sion of Capt. H. Broadhead, commanding the Re-
serve, assisted by Mr. Murdoch, inspector of machi-
nery afloat, and Mr. Ward, assistant to the engineer-
in-chief of the dockyard. The ship was to have run
at the measured mile, but owing to the working of
the machinery not being of the most satisfactory
character, this was postponed.

The Rifleman iron screw sloop was brought down
from her moorings in Portsmouth harbour yester-
day, where she has lain since her return to England
from foreign service, and placed in No. 2 dock.
In accordance with orders to that effect received
at Chatham, every exertion is being made to have
the paddle-wheel steamer Argus, 6, 300 horse power,
Commander P. Moor, fitting for the China and
Japan waters, ready to leave the Medway during
the present week after making her trial trip at the
Maplin Sands. The whole of her officers who had
been absent on leave rejoined yesterday at the
Nore. The Argus will swing, to adjust compasses,
either to-day or to-morrow, and is expected to
leave the Medway for Spithead on Friday to await
final orders. She takes out a detachment of
Royal Marines for escort duty at the British
Legation, Japan. During the time the Argus has
been in the Medway waters she has undergone a
very thorough repair, both to her hull and ma-
chinery, and has been fitted with new funnels. Her
crew numbers 170 officers and men.

It is understood that the new coaling arrange-
ments at Portland, which are of a very complete
character, will be made available at no distant
period for the coaling of her Majesty's ships. At
present the huge coal store, capable, it is said, of
holding 6,000 tons of coals, is empty, and in the
adjacent yard not 100 tons are in stock to supply
the immediate wants of the large iron-plated and
other steam-ships now in the harbour.

Capt. Ramsay, R.N., C. 8., whose period of ser-
vice as Superintendent of Pembroke Dockyard has
just expired, took his departure from that place on
Saturday afternoon, in her Majesty's steamer
Lightning. The whole of the officers and Workmen
assembled at the place of embarkation, and cheered
the gallant officer lustily as he left. This sponta-
neous demonstration of good feeling was received
by him with much apparent emotion, and must have
affordedn great satisfaction at the termination of
his long and vigorous services at Pembroke.
The following appointments were made yester-
dayg
at the Admiralty :—John D. Switzer, master
additional to the Cumberland, for the Lily.
