NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.
The Ruya.l Albert, 131 guns, screw steatn-ship, Com-
maiiihr Alexander Little.—Tire gotta percha speaking
tubes fur this nol.le ship have been restricted, by an Ad-
miralty order received here, to he fitted wily from the

The most es-eland tubes, in case,: of communicatiun

(luting a gale of wind, requested t') be conveyed into the
fore, wale, and Innen tops, are objected to be supplied
by their lordships' orders. The Hannibal, when here,
was tilted on the following plan, on the suggestion of
her commander, now commodore each side of the
•
poop netting runs a tube nnnunticating with the engine-
room ; also from each side of the p nip, along the netting
t the forecastle abreast the fore mast, to convey orders
for working the ship. From the poop against the iniv,n-
mast run four tubes to convey orders for working the
guns on each deck at fore and aft quarters. Tubes were
also passed from the poop to the tops. A tube was run
from the captain's cabin to the cockpit. All these tubes
-were pravtded with signals different in tone to boat-
swairr whistle, and most of them were in duplicate, '
having different leads, that the same shot should not dis-
able both. These extra tubes are at present denied to
to the Royal Alb rt, on what groun is is tt,ot state".
The advantages of them were fully proved at. Calais dur-
ing the eo,b trkation of the French ,roops ; they did the
work of fifty messengers in quick Ulm., and with ease.
The R real Albert is progressing in her equipment,
both in rigging, gun fittings, and michinery, very ex-
pertly, considering she has only a few A B 's at pre-sent
entered ;• for the seamen say, as u=ual, " When she is
rigged we shall then have nn objtc inn to join " Tire
principal part of the rouse-about work is being done by
the marines, the 'marine artillery being falsy occupied
fittieg gun breechings, stropping blocks, and reeving
gun tackles, which is done in such a manner as to reflect
the highest credit on this ti,eful cla,s, now so essentially
required in the navy. The only complaint is they
are compelled to pay fur wearing out their clothes when
doing service of the above nature, i complaint, no doubt.
that might easily be remedied by the proper officers re-
p, esenting the facts in the proper quarter. Such ex-
p,rises eonsi,lerably reduce their pay, yet they do not
relax, but, obey cheerfully.
