ter, from Cardiff, ran ashore near Mullion, coast of Corn-

from Bury and Ashton.
Colonel Farren, C. 8., late 4th depot battalion,

vice Major-Gen. Tidy. Lieut. Birch, second batta-
lion 20th, is under orders to proceed from the depot
to the service companies in charge of a draught of

A good-conduct medal and £lO have been pre-

Her Majesty's unarmoured paddlewheel sloop
Basilisk, 6, 400-horse power (nominal), Capt. Wm.
N. W. Hewett, V.C., was yesterday paid off in the
steam basin, Chatham, into the fourth division of
the Steam Reserve in the Medway, under the super-
intendence of Capt. the Hon. A. A. Cochrane, C. 8.,
superintending the dockyard and Steam Reserve.
David Williams, boatswain's mate, and Joseph
Hammond, ship's cook, were awarded by the Admi-
ralty each a silver medal, with gratuity, for long
service and conduct. During the time the
Basilisk was in commission—a period of three
years and seven months—she was attached to the
China squadron, and was employed in cruising in
the China seas and adjoining waters. Most of the
officers, including Capt. Hewett, who left England
in the Basilisk, return with her. By order of the
Admiralty she has been completely stripped, and
most of her internal fitments and bulkheads re-
moved, as it is not intended to again place her in
commission, but either to break her up or sell her
out of the Royal Navy. On being paid off yester-
day the continuous service men among the crew
were granted the usual period of absence for their
run ashore.

The following notice for the information of the
workmen connected with Chatham dockyard, who
are about proceeding to Canada, at the expense
of the Government, was yesterday posted at the
dockyard gates :—" The dockyard artisans who
accept the offer of passage in her Majesty's troop-
ships proceeding to Canada must distinctly under-
stand that on their arrival at Quebec they will
be exactly in the same position as ordinary emi-

grants, and that the Government is not in any way
responsible for providing them with employment.
There is, however, a large demand for labour by
private employers, but for their own sakes the eini-

grants should not refuse any reasonable offer on their
first arrival. The following candidates are to be
included for emigration Labourers of upwards
of three years' service in the dockyards, recently
discharged. 2. Estabiished men. 3. Hired men
about to be discharged may not be included, unless
of three years' service in the dockyard. 4. Men
who have not been discharged within the last 12 j

months may- not be included as candidates for pas-

sage to Quebec."

Her Majesty's iron troopship Dromedary, Staff-
Commander James -Kiddie, arrived in the. Thames
yesterday morning, off the loyal Arsenal, Wool-
wich, from the West Coast of Africa, and will com-
mence discharging her powder and other warlike
stores, and afterwards proceed up the river to her
Majesty's dockyard at Woolwich, to await further

instructions froin the Admiralty.
The 2d Battalion of the 23:1 Royal Welsh Fusi-
liers now stationed at Newport and Brecon is under
orders to leave for Aldershot at the end of the
