gsJ'ant cfilat's carriage i 6 Davanport, fir the wpm of

tree access to the mast-house, sail-loft, repc-douse,
through -which they tiara conducted by the Naval
Cummander-iu-Chief and the principal officers of the
eLtablishment. Passing over the bow of the Narcissus,
now building at No. 1 slip, and minutely inspecting that
frigate, they proceeded to examine the machinery in
the engine-house, and the nice operations of .Nascayth's
powerful tilt-hammer, which were skilfully explained
to them by Mr. Atherton. After spending about two
hours in the yard. the Dachess and party went to
Mount Wise, where they were hospitably entertained by

for Torquay.

So large a complement of Royal Marines is never given
to a ship to be kept only in an advanced state, the
nnmber being exactly the same, and of the same rank,
as those at present on active service on board the Queen,
110, flag-ship on the Mediterranean station ; and, there-
fore, the almost immediate employment of the Waterloo
as a seagoing ship is confirmed by the appointment of
1 captain, 3 subalterns,
5 sergeants, 7 corporals, 2
drummers, and 184 privates of the Royal Marines for
service in her. The above Royal Merinos will leave
Woolwich to-morrow to join their ship.
