PORTSMOUTH, FEB. s.—The quarterly dinner of the
Portsmouth Naval Club took place last evening, at the Foun-
tain Hotel, Admiral Sir C. Ogle, Bart., Commander-in-Chief,
•in the chair.
Commander Robert Jenner, just promoted, will, we are
informed, be one of the officers to co-operate with Major Ste-
yens, of the Royal Marine Artillery, in drilling and exercis-
ing the dockyard artizans to the use of small arms and great
guns. We have before expressed our opinion (which is the
general one) of Captain Jenner's merits as a scientific and
meritorious officer, and experience convinces us that a better
selection could scarcely have been made in the officer to fill
the above appointment.
The Curlew, 10-gun brig, fitted with a 13-inch mortar
upon the plan of Lieutenant Julius Roberts, Royal Marine
Artillery, will be towed out to Spithead on Monday, weather
permitting, to make a trial of the important invention.
No committee has as yet been appointed to report upon the
trial.
