The Pylades, 21, 350-horse power, fitting for com-
mission in the fourth dock at Chatham, is getting
well forward, and will be ready for sea by the end
of the ensuing month. Her standing wire rigging
has been set up, and her topmasts painted. Yester-
day a number of shipwrights commenced preparing
her decks for the reception of her Armstrong guns,
five of which will be supplied her, viz., one 110-
pounder and four 40-pounders.
The Rosario, 11, 150-horse power, Commander
Graham, still remains at the Nore, awaiting sailing
orders from the Admiralty. She has shipped her
stores and provisions and is expected to leave for
the West Indies on Tuesday next. _ .

The Trafalgar, 89, 500-horse power, Capt. the
Hon. T. Baillie, refitting at the Nore, to join the
Channel squadron, has taken on board her stores
and guns, and yesterday shipped her powder, pre-
paratory to proceeding to Spithead. The petty offi-
cers and men having petitioned the Admiralty to be
paid off, a despatch has been received at the Nore
announcing that their request cannot be complied
with, but a proportion of the crew would be allowed
to volunteer for other ships in commission. Between
100 and 200 of the petty officers and seamen accord-
ingly availed themselves of the offer of the Admi-
ralty and have proceeded to the western ports to
join the vessels there fitting for sea.
' The Chanticleer, 17, screw, Commander C. Stir-
ling, sailed from Spithead at daylight yesterday
morning for the Mediterranean.
The Sutlej, screw frigate, Capt. M. Connolly,has
a body of men employed upon her alongside Ports-
mouth dockyard, preparing her for fitment with a
poop tlB flagellip, to relieve the Bacchante iu the
Pacific.

A distinguished party of visitors, including Ad-
miral Sir G. Sartorius, Mr. Rolt, M.P., and Messrs.
Green, the eminent shipbuilders, paid a visit to
Chatham dockyard on Wednesday afternoon, and
spent some time in the inspection of that establish-
ment and the iron and iron•plated vessels now under
construction.
The huge wooden rudder, weighing upwards of 11
tons; belonging to the iron-cased ship Caledonia, to
be launched on the 24th inst. at Woolwich, was yes-
terday shipped and fitted in position. The rudder is
sheeted with Muntz's patent metal and fitted with
a Norman head, the latter weighing 33 cwt.
Her Majesty's iron screw troopship Dromedary,
Master Commander Brown, from the coast of Africa,
has arrived at Woolwich, and yesterday proceeded
to Deptford to discharge her cargo of condemned
stores. She made a remarkably quick and favourable
voyage, having been only 29 days from port to port.
Her Majesty's troopship Adventure, Commander
Lethbridge, yesterday completed her repairs in
dock at Woolwich, and, in conformity with the fa-
vourable recommendation of the shipwright de-

partment to the Board of Admiralty, the interior
of the hull has been orderel to be recoated with
Davy's cement, to which, on a survey of the
vessel, the safety of the vessel is mainly attributed
in the disaster at St. John's, Newfoundland. Al-
though the plates were ripped off and a cavity
opened sufficient to admit the passage of a man's
body into the fore part of the ship, no water had
penetrated into the compartments of that part of
the vessel. The recoating of the interior of the
Adventure is to be commenced in dock this morning
at Woolwich, under the superintendence of the
Admiralty Board. The Adventure is under orders
to leave Woolwich on the Ist of November to con-,
vey the remnant of the 15th brigade Royal Artillery
to the West Indies.
The following appointments were made yester-
day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Richard S. Bate-
man, to the Sutlej, additional for disposal on the
Pacific Station ; John E. Petley, master, to the
