Further changes are to be made in the rates of

three years, and stop at £250 ; foremen of smiths
will commence at £l2O, increased by £lO every
seven years, and the salary will be limited to £150;
foremen of caulkers and joiners are to commence at
£l2O, and increase £lO every three years until £lBO

the yard will be £250, not £2OO, as stated in error.
The Admiralty intend to make the following aug-
mentations in the pay of artisans : —Leading men
are to receive 6d. a day extra, as more work will
devolve upon them from the intended abolition of
the office of inspectors of the vatious trades;
sawyers are to have an increase of 2d. a day. With
respect to compulsory superannuation of the dock-
yard hands, it appears that the general age will be
59, and that the men who are to be superannuated
between the age of 55 and that age will only be
those wl,o are no longer capable from advancing
years of doing what is considered a fair day's work.
