burden, and in her magazine she. has space for 1,000
shells, in addition to the requisite quantity of powder
and small-arms. The other mortar-boats are rapidly ap-
proaching completion, the Mes,rs. Scott having been
working at them night and day since they received the
order. The Leviathan gun boat, which is being con-
structed by Mr. Robert Napier, of Govan, on the Clyde,
is also making rapid progress, and will be launched in
the cour,e of the spring.
The 17th and 24th companies of the Royal Sappers
and Miners, under orders to leave Brompton Barracks
to embark for foreign service, are expected to leave Chat-
ham shortly, for the purpose of proceeding to the Baltic.
The strength of these companies is 300 men, the whole
of whom have been drilled and thoroughly instructed
under Colonel Henry Sandharn, in the various duties
connected with field service. About 200 men are re-
quired to fill up the vacancies in this corps.
Another large number of Crimean invalids arrived at
Chatham yesterday, having come up by special train
from the hospital at Chichester. On their arrival at the
Strood station a fatigue party from the provisional bat-
talion was in attendance to assist the sick and wounded
to the vans and ambulance waggon in waiting to convey
them to Brompton. After the usual medical examina-
tion bad been made, those requiring further medical
treatment were taken into the hospital, and the rest
were removed to the invalid depot at St. Mary's.

_
A large cavalry draught ordered to proceed to the
Crimea from Newbridge, and the contingents attached
to the cavalry corps in the garrison of Dublin, are held
in immediate readiness for embarkation, and will most
probably embark at Kingstown in the course of this
week.
The difficulty experienced in obtaining crews at the
commencement of the season has given place to constant
applications for berths, and hands are occasionally re-
jected. There is, however, still some difficulty in pro-
curing petty officers, who are required to be diligent and
trustworthy men, with capabilities above the class of the
ordinary seamen.
The following appointments were made yesterday at
the Admiralty :—•The Rev. J. A. Barrough, Chaplain
and Naval Instructor, to the London ; C. Osborn, Mas-
ter's Assistant, to the Amphion ; James Cole, Master's
Assistant, to the Retribution ; John Pitman, Master's
Assistant, to the Vulcan ; Thomas H. Elliott, Matter's
Assistant, to the London ; W. H. Ptrvis, Master's As-
sistant, to the Rodney ; IV. H. Richards, Nava' Cadet,
to the Seahorse ; J. T. De Saurne.rez, Naval Cadet, to
the Royal Albert ; L. Ching, Naval Cadet, to the Con-
queror ; C. F. Hotham, Naval Cadet, to the Forth ; E.
C. Tinling, Naval Cadet, t.) the Pearl ; T. P. W.
Neshaan, Naval Cadet, to the Conqueror.
Captain Sir Robert M'Clure (the discoverer of the
North-West passage), has superseded Captain Birch in
command of her Majesty's steam corvette Esk, 21,
and will, we have not the slighest doubt, soon get this
most useful ship well manned and in excellent order.
We have already heard that numerous blue jackets,
attracted by the appointment of the new captain, have
volunteered' for the Esk.
There is a well-founded rumour that, i❑ order to re-
lieve the commanders' list of many old officers, and thus
enable Sir Charles Wood to bring forward for employ-
ment a number of the rising young men, a circular has
been issued from the Admiralty to a certain number of
commanders, offering to place them, after the Ist of
Jelly, on the retired list of captains, with a half-pay of
103. 6d. per diem.

THE NEW UNIFORn FOR THE NAVY.
The committee for arranging the new uniform for the
officers of the Royal navy is still sitting at the Admiralty,
with, we believe, Rear-Admiral the Hon. 11. 3. Rous
as
chairman. We suspect from the protracted sittings of
this important committee that some difficulty has been
found in pleasing all grades of the service. If any fur-
ther advice be required we would recommend that some
experienced naval and military tailors should be called
in to assist at the future conferences. Mr. Buckmaster
would doubtless be found useful ; and to assist him we
could name no better firm than 011ivier and Brown, of
Sackviile•street, a firm not only already popular both in
the army and navy for their liberality and other recom-
mendations, but who are known to possess much refine-
ment in ta,-te and execution. Whatever may be the
result of the labours of the officers now engaged in fixing
upon a new "rig" for the service, we trust that no fur-
ther change will be permitted to take place for years to
come, as few matters annoy naval men more than the
constant interference of the Board of Admiralty with
their articles of dress.—Morni'g Herald.
