THE NAVY.

The Euryalus, 51, screw, Capt. John W. Tarle-
ton, C. 8., at Spithead, yesterday morning ex-
changed •the customary salutes With the Victory,
flagship of the Commander-in-Chief, Admiral W.
Bowles, C.B. The Sprightly, paddle-steamer, had
left the harbour for Spithead at daylight to be in
attendance on the ship in the event of her services
being required by Prince Alfred, and the Elfin,
Royal paddle yacht, steamed out soon after 8 a.m.
for the purpose of bringing his Royal highness on
shore. It had been blowing a heavy gale all night
from north-west to west, and at the time the Elfin
went out was still blowing very heavily from the
latter point, with occasional rain squally, but with
much less sea on than at the time when the Eurya-
• lus brought up ox the previous evening. On the
Elfin's luffing through the Swashway, the little
oraft was at times completely hidden from view by
the clouds of foam and spray which flew over her.
•Shortly after 10 a.m. his Royal Highness, accom-
panied by Captain Tartleton and his private suite,
embarked on board the Elfin, which steamed into
harbour, when the Prince landed at the dockyard,
and left for London by the 11 a.m. South-Western
train. •

The construction of another gun-vessel is being
proceeded with at Pembroke dockyard. She is to
be called the Nimble, and is to be built in the same
shed and from the-same lines as the Espoir, recently
launched from No. 6 slip. The Nimble will be the
third of these fast despatch vessels built at Pem-
broke, and the following will be her chief dimen-
sions :—Length between perpendiculars, 145 ft ;
length of keel for tonnage, 127 ft. Sin. ; breadth for
tonnage, 25ft. lin.; breadth, moulded, 24ft. Gin.;
and depth
.of hold, 13ft. She Will be fitted with
engines of 80-h se Amnitielpoxverr and -carry. four
bK:adside-iilnaUd one pivot gun.
