NAVAL AND MILI7ARY IN7ELLIGENCit

VALETTA, Dec. 31.-The Royal yacht Squadron,
schooner Helen, Capt. E, Brown, left Malta on the
29th ult. for Port Said, having on board her pro-
prietor, Lord Ashburton, family, and a party of
fi ieuds. The Royal Northern Yacht Club screw
steamer Hcbe, Captain Mouland, having on board
Mr. Charles Maclver and family, returned into
Sliema Creek this morning from Sicily. The Royal
Yacht Squadron schooner (auxiliary screw) Meteor,
captain and owner Mr. T. Brassey, M.P., is still
in port. The Northern Confederation screw frigate
Arcona, which is here under repairs, came out of
dock the day before yesterday. There have been no
movements of her Majesty's ships for some time past,
but we are expecting here shortly the Jaseur, from
the coast of Spain, the Trinculo, from Greece, and
the Antelope, from Rhodes. The Rapid and Lee
are fitting and preparing for service as soon as
possible. The former will probably proceed to
the coast of Syria. The Cockatrice is also under-
going a thorough refit. The surveying vessel Ne‘N -
port has gone round from the Marsamusetto to the
grand harbour for the purpose of being caulked and
refitted. Mr. Edmund Barker Vankoughnet, mid-
shipman of the Caledonia, and Mr. George Henry
Eden, midshipman of the Prince Consort, have
passed their examination for the rank of lieutenant,
and have been appointed acting sub-lieutenants of
their respective ships. Her Majesty's ships in port
are as follows :—Lord Warden 8 (bearing the flag
of Vice-Admiral Sir Alexander Milne, K.C.8.),
Capt. T. Bra.ndreth ; Hibernia, receiving-ship,
' (bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral E.G. Fanshawe),
Commander W. L. Partridge ; Caledonia, 24, Capt
T. Cochran ; Prince Consort, 24, Capt. W . Army-
tap ; Bellerophon, 14, Capt. Francis Marten ;
Newport, 1, Capt. G. S. Nares ; Lee, 5, Commander
C. W. Andrew ; Rapid, 11, Commander the Hda.
F. L. Wood; Cockatrice, 2, Commander J. F.
Prowse.

The screw steamship Bristol, 31, Captain F. W.
Wilson, from the West Indies, arrived in Plymouth
Sound yesterday afternoon. She sailed from Ber-
muda on the 6th of December, but when leaving
the harbour at 11 a.m. she grounded, and remained
there until 5 p.m., then anchored for the night, and
sailed finally on the 12th. The Bristol experienced
strong northerly gales, which compelled her to lay
to occasionally until reaching the Western Islands,
since which strong westerly winds have prevailed.
She brings from Bermuda Dr W. Richardson, seven
naval invalids, and five soldiers.

A telegram has been recoived from Bombay stat-
ing that her Majesty's Indian troopship Malabar
left that port for Suez at 4 p.m. of the Ist inst.

Rumours very serious for the workmen employed
in Chatham Dockyard and for the inhabitants of
the town are afloat, that the number of hands in the
yard is to be reduced, by degrees, to the extent of
from 500 to 1,000 men, by the discharge of "hired'.
men and a large superannuation of " established
bands who, being of the age of 55 or upwards, may
be pronounced not capable of doing their full
amount of work per day from the effects of ago or
intimity. At the beginning of each year, before
the ending of the " financial year," it is crate com-
mon f•)r a number of men to be discharged for a
time from Chatham yard on the ground that the
estimates have failed to supply as much money
as needed for keeping all hands at work ; and
after a time, when a new
.financial year has
commenced, most or all of these men have been
restored to work. The discharges now to be
commenced are by some ascribed to this cause,
but they are expected to be on a much larger
kcal: than usual, and there is an apprehension that
the reduction is to be permanent, not temporary;
a number of circumstances support that view. A
return which has just been ordered tends to con-
firm the belief that " reduction" is to be the order
of the day—it is a return of the pensioners, mili-
tary and naval, who are working in the dockyards
as labourers, and the call for it seems to imply that
such men will be elected for discharge. It is con-
sidered that there is no want of work to be done in
the yard at present.
