L,',l EF FIE L D PLATE, of the richest Quality.—
CI A. B. SAVORY and SONS beg respectfully to inform the
Public that they continue to supply the SHEFFIELD PLATED
ARTICLES, with Silver Mountings and Edges, of the same old rich
quality of silver plating which has secured their house so large a
share of the public patronage during a period of 90 years. The
show-rooms eoutain a splendid variety. A pamphlet is published,
with engravings of silver-plated table dish-covers, venison-dishes,
corner-dishes, waiters, cruet-frames, table candlesticks, candelabra,
&c. ; and will lee sent, free of expense, in answer to a paid letter.

chairman of its committee, he should be very sorry to
see such a regulation as that suggested by Mr. Ander-
ton carried into effect; inasmuch as some gentlemen who
had filled the chair would be likely to do more mischief
than good, if armed with such a privilege.
The report was then ordered to be entered upon the
journals, and votes of thanks were passed unanimously
to the Lord Mayor, the Chairman of the Commission of
Sewers, the Commissioners, and Mr. Tyrrell, the Re-
membraneer, for their very great and effective exertions
to accomplish the important object of obtaining the City
SeAers Act..

apparatus; %%44 `4, tho sitiOle-40-tieseribel was in fad
work this morning when the official party entered the
• bitilding in which it is erected, and exhibited in tempt-
ing preparation, at one view, a fine sirloin of beef roast-
ing, tarts, pies, bread, &c., baking, tongue, ham, veget-
ables of all kinds in growth, and puddings boiling, meat
stewing, soup making, &c., which, when put upon the
table in a house spread for the occasion, formed as sub-
stantial and elegant a defamer as any Englishman need
wish for, and of which the whole of the:official party and
sundry visitors most heartily partook. It is almost un-
necessary to add that the apparatus was highly approved
of by the board.
After inspecting this admirable improvement of Mr.
Grant's, the board inspected the progress of 'the works
of the new slaughter-house at the north corner, thence
visiting the bakery, and afterwards the new reception-
rooms at the terminus of the Royal Railway, which are
building on the site of the old slaughter-house' com-
prising two rooms and appurtenances, the cost of which
will be about 3,0001. Captain James, R.E. of this dock-
yartl,

csohaowngtt, from theedjetheyplansoft Clarence-yard
work, and also his design
for store-houses
into the harbour, a length of tramway of 1,500 yards
for coaling steamers and storing ships generally, the cost
of which was estimated at 15,0001.; the trains to be
worked by horse or hydraulic power. This, we under-
stood, was highly appreciated by the board, but they
seemed to think so great a work could not be done
for so little money. From the Clarence-yard the
board proceeded to the Royal Marine Barracks at
Forton, of which they made an inspection under the
guidance of Colonel PoWell, Second Commandant of
the division, Lieutenant-Colonel Ballingall, and the chief
officers of the corps; and, whilst here, their Lordships
consented to an improvement of the comfort of the
married sergeants, which we should be glad to
see also bestowed upon the married privates throughout
her Majesty's service—via., parting off the sleeping
apartments by proper partitions, instead of, as now, only
by a rude curtain, which secures no privacy, and conse-
quently leaves no decent distinction between the mar •
vied and single quartered in barracks. After viewing
the plans of the new buildings, officers' quarters, &c., in
course of erection by Mr. Bramble, the contractor, the
official party embarked in their barge, which had been
skilfully navigated up the creek in the rear of the bar-
rack by their Lordships' Flag-Lieutenant (Mr. E. Her-
rick, 1815, First of the Victory), and with their flag in
the bow came down the harbour to the Royal Hospi-
tal at Hasler (saluted on passing the Victory with
19 guns), where Captain Superintendent Sir Wil-
liam Parry and the full staff of the establishment
received their Lordships, who made a minute inspec-
tion of the establishment, which yielded the most
general satisfaction. From Haslar the board and
retinue crossed the harbour in their barge, and landed
at the Sallyport, Nv hence they walked to the George
Hotel and prepared for dinner. Admiral Sir Charles
Ogle had the pleasure of entertaining them at his
official mansion. The following comprised the party:
—Sir Charles Ogle and family circle, Rear-Admiral
Prescott, C. 8., the Earl of Auckland, Rear-Admiral
Dundas, Captain Lord John Hay, Captain Berkeley,
Captain Milne, Admiral Sir Francis Austin, Vice-Ad-
miral Sir John Oinmanney, Captain Sir W. E. Parry,
Colonel Lewis, R.E., Acting Lieutenant-Governor of
the garrison ; Captain Yates, Captain Henry Eden, Cap-
tain Charles Eden (flag), Colonel Irvine, R.E., Mr. and
Mrs. Roberts, Captain James, R.E., Captain Ellice,
Mr. Ward, M.P., Mr. Grant, of the Clarence-yard,
Messrs. Weoley and Grant, of the Admiralty; Captain
Sir Baldwin Walker, Colonel Powell, R.M.,
Mr, Se-
cretary Haig, and Flag-Lieutenant Cochran.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, accompa-
nied by the Prince and Princess Hohenlohe, came up
from Cowes in the Fairy, and went round the Powerful,
84, Captain Hon. R. S. Dundas, C. 8., this afternoon,
receiving a royal salute from that ship in passing. She
returned immediately.
We regret to hear that Commodore Sir J. Gordon
Bremer, K.O .8., K C-H., has been compelled, in conse-
quence of the ill state of his health, to retire for a short
time from the active performance of his onerous duties
as superintendent of Woolwich Dockyard, and is about
to proceed on sick leave of absence for six weeks, Lady
Bremer accompanying the gallant officer. It is hoped
that Sir Gordon's health will very soon be re-estab-
lished ; but, in the meanwhile, in order that the respon-
sible duties of this important ffice may be efficiently
vat-
tended to, the Admiralty have selected that ery able
and excellent officer, Captain Robert Fitzroy
superintend the dockyard during ,
Sir Gordon Bremer 'a
(1834),
leave of absence. This selection is a most appropriate
one, for, as it is well understood that Captain Fitzroy is
to commission the Arrogant, 46, screw-trigate, so soon
as she is ready, he will have an opportunity, as acting
Captain Superintendent of Woolwich Dockyard, of
watching the progress of the fitting of that ship, and of
more especially attending to her equipment for sea.
THE SQUADRON OF EXERCISE.—The St. Vincent'

with orders to be at Plymouth to meet the Lords of the
Admiralty on their official visit to that port on the 20th
instant. The Frolic, 16-gun sloop, Commander Vansit-
tart, and the Pilot, 16, Commander Lyons, sailed from
the Cove for their respective destinations on the 10th
instant; and the Tweed, 18, Commander Lord Francis
Russell, and the Helens, 16, Commander Smith (to be
relieved in the command by Commander De Courcey),
were also to sail on the 12th for their respective desti-

nations.
The Cyclops steam-frigate, at Portsmouth, Captain
the Hon. G. Hastings, has entered 100 men out of her
number; but few officers are appointed to her, and few
have joined the vessel, which is intended to relieve the
corvette Amphitrite, 26 guns, Captain T. R. Eden which
vessel is to go to the South Pacific.
The Encounter, screw-sloop at Portsmouth, is ordered
to be fitted as one of the reserve squadron of steamers at
Portsmouth, in the place of the Cyclops.

THE MARINES IN IRELAND.—WO stated on Wednes-
day that the battalion of Royal Marines serving in Ire-
land under Lieutenant-Colonel Willes were ordered to
Plymouth and Pcrtsmoutb. It is very fortunate that
they had not left, for their services were again
called in requisition at Waterford on the 13th, when
news of the rebel movements reached that city. The
ord(T was given early in the morning for the marines to
land from the Rhadamantbus steam -transport, when,
within twenty-fire minutes, the gallant fellows had
turnei out, and were drawn up on shore under arms,
and ready for any business. Their presence enabled
the 85th, under the command of Sir C. O'Donnell, to
march out into the country, and thus the ma-
