IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

The Wanderer, 4, screw steam gun-vessel, Com-
mander M. R. Pechell, at Chatham, is waiting the
arrival of her books and papers from the Admiralty
to be paid off. She has been in commission four
years, and is to be paid off without any:of her bulk-
heads or internal fittings being removed, as it is
expected she will be shortly recommissioned.
The Immortalite, 51, screw, in No.: 7 dock at
Portsmouth, is found to have some defects in the
vicinity of her keel, a portion of her garboard
planking being rotten.
The Princess Royal, 91, screw, in the steam basin
at Portsmouth, has a number of hands working
upon her, making good defects. The ;whole of her
stern planking has been removed, and her timbers
in places are in a very unsound 'state. From ap-
pearances at present, when she is placed in dock the
defects in the after body of her timbvis and plank-
ing will be found to be of serious met ent.
The Duncan, 101, screw, in the steam basin at
Portsmouth, has her screw shafting in,s.nd the whole
of her boilers on board and fixed in their respective
positions. The remainder of the machinery has not
yet been received from the contractors.
The Victoria, 121, screw, also in the steam basin,
has her boilers fixed, and her cylinders with the
greater part of her machinery on board.
The Queen, 86, screw, Captain C.' F. Hillyar,
steamed out of Portsmouth Harbour, yesterday to
Spithead, exchanging the customary- salutes with
the Victory, 104, bearing the flag of Admiral W.
Bowles C. 8., the Commander-in-Chief.
Vice-Admiral of the White H. W. Bruce has
received the appointment as Commander-in-Chief
at Portsmouth, vice Admiral W. Bowles, C. 8., on
the expiration of the latter officer's command on
the Ist of March next. Admiral Bruce arrived at
Portsmouth yesterday, and has taken up his quar-
ters for the present at Southsea.
The first of the competitive examinations by the
Civil Service Commissioners of the candidates for
apprenticeship in Chatham Dockyard took place at
that establishment yesterday, when, in addition to
the candidates from Chatham, a number of lads who
are candidates for admission into Sheerness Dock-
yard were also present to undergo the mcamination.
The Lords of the Admiralty have decided that these
examinations shall be held periodically by the Civil
Service Commissioners, thus removing the causes of
complaint which have been urged against the exa-
minations conducted by the officers of the dock•
yard.
