THE WAR.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.
Royal Albert, 121, screw, is still in the basin. She
has finished being coppered, and is ready to go out, but
is detained in consequence of their not having cleared
the mud out of the basin. Her lower rigging is all set
up, and her topmasts pointed ; in a day or two they will
be got on end. Three able seamen have volunteered
for this ship, lately arrived from Sierra Leone, in the
Mariner, merchant ship. The thief mate has entered as
quartermaster, where no doubt kis merits will be appre-
ciated.

This day (August 1) the supernumeraries belonging to
the Waterloo, 120, guard-ship of this harbour, were ex-
ercised at the long-4un exercise, firing at a target from
the beach. They fired with much precision, under the
able superintendence of Lord Frederick Kerr, captain
of the above ship. _

Salamander, 6, paddle, Commander Eliman, is taking
out her powder, and will go into harbour at Portsmouth.
We much fear, from what we, hear, that courts-martial
will speedily follow. The ship is in a very uncomfort-
able state. She left Trincomalee May 3, arrived at the
Cape of Good Hope June 4, and left on the 11th. She
also left St. Helena June 23, Ascension June 28, St.
Vincent July 11, and Madeira July 23. At the last-
named place the crops had quite failed. The Star, 8,
had arrived there from England on the 21st, and left the
same day for Rio.

The Harbinger, screw steamer, arrived in Portsmouth
harbour yesterday morning, from Constantinople, with
invalids. " Ghosts" of men, painful to witness, landed.
The Harbinger sailed immediately for Southampton, to
prepare for further service:_

Ithadamanthus, Master Commander John Belam, and
Melampus, Mr. Jackson; will leave Portsmouth to-day
for Plymouth and Pembroke, with stores, SLe., and
planking. for the, Queen's'new yacht.

Fire Queen, Master conaujander F. W. Paul, and
Sprightly, Master Commander Allen, were ordered to
sea on -Monday evening, to look out -foi tifeDiligence,
store-ship, and direct her to call at Portsmouth.

The Sea Nymph paddle-wheel steam-transport left
Plymouth, early yesterday afternoon for the Black Sea,
but returned again this evening. On her first arrival
here it was found that only about 50 tons of coal could
be stowed in her bunkers ; and in, consequence, 172 tons
were stowed o❑ her deck in bap. To counteract this
top weight 270 casks of salt were placed in the ground
tier. After the ship proceeded to sea she rolled heavily,
and the captain deemed it prudent to return.
A professional survey of all the ships in ordinary has
taken place at Sheerness during the past week, under
the personal inspection of the Captain-Superintendent
John Jervis Tucker, assisted by the Master Shipwright
and other professional officers, a report of which will
forthwith be sent to the Admiralty.

THE QUEEN'S NEW STEAM-YACHT.
About a third of the dockyard (Pembroke) strength will
soon be placed upon the Queen's new and beautiful steam-
yacht. Her sheer and mould are highly spoken of, and she
will combine great strength with beauty of model, being
built upon the diagonal principle and of solid mahogany
timbers. About the commencement of-April next year
is the probable time named for the period of completion.

ammunition waggons were drawn each by six horses.
The batteries went through their evolutions of a fluid-
day, and afterwards marched past in single gun detach-
ment. General Radziwilrs visit was of a private nature,
as there were no other officers present on the occasion
than those immediately connected with the troop and
batteries. The Prince and his son proceeded from the
common to the Rotunda, in the Repository Grounds, to
inspect the arms and models in it.
