LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 1, 1854.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

The Orion, screw, 90, is still lying in the basin at
Sheerness. Her boilers are now in the hold, and getting
bedded and stowed away, together with her machinery.
Orders have been received from the Admiralty to mast
her in this yard. Her spars are expected down from
Chatham for that purpose to-day. When pet in she
will proceed to Chatham to fit out.
The Horatio, 22, Commander Jenner, is still in Sheer-
ness harbour. 'We hear she has received erde-s to get
ready for sea immediately. She is most suited for a
guard-ship, as she carries 22 guns of heavy calibre.
Harwich is the place named for her port of destination,
where she will, no doubt, get many volunteers for her
Majesty's service.
The leak in the Cossack, 21, screw, Captain E. G.
Fanshawe, cannot be discovered. Censequently she is
again to be taken into dock at Devonport. It appears
that it must be the same leak she had before she went
on shore, as she now makes the same quantity of stater.
The Pylades, 21, screw-corvette, is in No. 1 dry dock,
Sheerness, and a amber of. mechanics of all grades are
at work at her. She is to be brought forward with all
possible despatch, and when completed will form one of
the most useful class of vessels in the service, as when
ready for sea she is expected not to draw more than 18
or 19 feet of water. _ _

The Leopard, 18, paddle, Captain George Giffard,
Portsmouth, will be ready for sea on the 10th proximo.
' The Hecla, 6, paddle, Commander Hawker, lit fires
at Portsmouth yesterday morning, and got up steam to
prove boilers and .machinery. She will be ready for
active service on-the sth.

The Drake, mortar-vessel, under ths superintendence
of Captain Julius Roberts, of the Royal Marine Artil-
lery, left Portsmouth for Sheerness yesterday morning.
The mortar will be fired in her passage round, and at
Sheerness will be tested against the old-fashioned bed
mortar.

The French corvette that brought up at St. Helen's
oa Wednesday evening, is at anchor, weather-bound.
