thousand rounds have been fired.”
Rear-Admiral Berkeley is awaiting the arrival at
Portsmouth of the Portland, 50, from the Pacific, and
the Centaur steam-frigate from Rio, both which ships
will be ordered to the Baltic immediately. The dock-
yard artificers are ready to make any defects good on
board on their being reported, and the authorities of
the Clarence victualling-yard are ready with lighters to
send provisions out to them, so th..t no delay whatever
will occur in getting them to sea again. Admiral
Berkeley visited the Nile at Spithead on Wednesday,
which ship did not leave for the Baltic, as was supposed
on that evening. She went so far away to the eastward
tliat it was naturally imagined- she was off. A num-
ber of the crew of the Stromboli have been draughted
for her and sent on- board, together with a number of
men picked from the transports and revenue cruisers.
She filled up to her full stock of coals from the float-
ing depot yesterday, and got under way last evening
Sur-the Baltic. Admiral Berkeley also inspected the
hired screw transport Albatross, which has been taken
up to carry munitions of war to Turkey. She is being
fitted to carry, among other matters, upwards of 1,200
boxes and barrels of gunpowder.
The preparations at Woolwich for the launch of the
Royal Albert, 131, screw steam-ship, on the 13th of May
next, in the presence 'of the Queen and the royal family,
are progressing fast. The whole of the upright barriers
have been removed, as the booths will extend to a much
greater distance thee had been originally contemplated.
The booth for her Majesty will be situated on the north-
west side of the ship, and extend along the wharf wall
to the west side of the new building for receiving stores
for the use of the factory department. In order to expe-
dite the construction of the booths a gang of well-con-
ducted convicts who had been mechanics have been se-
lected to assist in sawing and planing timber for the
seats. •
The following appointments have been made :
Chaplain—Rev, E. L. Bowman (1854) to the Tribune

by Colonel Hall and Lieutenant-Colonel Unett, formed

vations to them on the nature of the duties they were
going to perform. Precisely at half-past eight o'clock
the regiment, headed by its band, with colours fly-
ing, marched out of the Tower by the eastern gate,
a considerable number of people being collected to
witness their departure, who loudly cheered as they
passed, The regiment went through Wapping to the
Tunnel-pier, where they embarked on board steamers
for Woolwich. The regimental depot has been re-
moved.to Weimer, where 400 recruits are being trained,
who will join when sufficiently disciplined. In the course
of the 'afternoon some tumbrils arrived at the Tower,

plenty of opportunities of proceeding to Gallipoli. The
Ripon also takes out 28-horses belonging to the staff of
Brigadier-General kiieY, a considerable quantity of
