Their R val Highnesses Prince Christian and
Prince Arthur arrived at Portsmouth harbour yes-
terday morning from Osborne on board her Ma-
jesty's paddlewheel yacht Alberta, Capt. his Serene
Highness the Prince Leiningen, on a vis't of inspec-
tion of some of the principal of the land and coast
defensive works of the garrison and port. Imme-
diately on the yacht's arrival in the harbour the
two Princes disembarked, and attended by Colonel
Willis, Assist.-Quartermaster-General of the South-
West District, entered a carriage in waiting and
drove ont to Portsdown to inspect the great forts
along the crest of that hill. On returning from
Portsdown their Royal highnesses drove to the Go-
vernment-house in Portsmouth, and partook of
luncheon with Lieut.-Gen. Sir G. and Lady Buller.
After luncheon the Royal visitors drove to the forts
on the beach line between Southsea Esplanade and
Fort Cumberland, Southsea Fort, " Lumps," and
Eastney—the latter the head-quarters of, the Royal
Marine Artillery. On returning from this round of
inspection their Royal Highnesses re-embarked on
board the Alberta, from Southsea pier, and returned

jesty's ship Victoryol4- der the presidency of Capt.
Attfe-de-Camp to the Queen,
her Majesty's ship Victory, Lawrence Ball, a ma-
rine, serving on board the Excellent, was tried on
four different charges of theft. The Court found
the first charge fully proved, the remainder not
clearly so, and sentenced the prisoner to 12 mouths'
imprisonment, with hard labour,in Lewis Naval Gaol.
The Jaseur, 5, screw gunvessel, Commander W.
11. Grubbe, which arrived at Spithead on Tuesday
from the West Coast of Africa, was under orders to

for dismantling and paying out of commission.
The Speedwell, 5, screw gunvessel, 428 tons, 80
horse power, Commander James E. Erskine, ar-
rived at Spithead on Wednesday from the West

tive to the port selected for her dismantling and
paying out of commission.
In addition to the ironclad frigate Hercules, 12,
5,226 tons, 1,200 horse power, and the turret ship
Monarch, 6, 5,100 tons, 1,100 horse power, build-
ing at Chatham, the Lords of the Admiralty have
directed a double screw steamer, to be named the
Beacon, to be laid down at that establishment, and
built during the present year. The new vessel is to
be constructed on the composite principle, the frames
being of iron, and the planking and other parts of
wood. The only entirely wooden vessels now build-
ing at Chatham dockyard are the Blanche, 4, 1,268
tons, 350 horse power, and the Myrmidon, 4, 695
tons, 200 horse power, both of which are nearly
completed for launching. TLe line-of-battle screw
steamer Bulwark, 81, 3,716 tons, 800 horse power,
remains on the stocks, about half completed, pend-
ing the final decision of the Admiraltfas to her
conversion to au armour-plated ship.

In consequence of the numerous models which

have been in preparation for some months past at
Chatham dockyard for the French Exhibition in
Paris not being completed by the date originally
fixed, a special order has been received enlarging the
time for their being transmitted to Paris from the
Ist to the 16th inst.

lag or3cred for particular service on the west coast
of Ireland. While there she encountered a severe
'tale, whidt- broke the' mnin 'abaft connecting the
paddles and inflicted other injuries. She has now
returned for the purpose of making good the da-
mage, and it is probable the crew will be tempora-
rily turned over to another ship.
The Eclipse, 4, screw gunvessel, 700 tons, 200
horse power, which arrived in Sheerness harbour on
Monday from the Australian station, was yesterday,

ing forward to completion the heavy amount of
work included in the present year's financial esti-
mate. Several hundred additional bands have been
taken on in the Royal Laboratory, to expedite the
manufacture of the new Boxer cartridges (which are
now thoroughly organized) required for present
issue. The Royal gun factories are equally actively
engaged in hastening the construction of the large
number number of guns demanded urgently by the
Board, and which are principally on the system in-
troduced by Mr. Fraser, Deputy Assist.-Superin-
tendent of the Department. Two hundred and fifty
guns on that principle have already been manufac-
tured, and have undergone the most severe and satis-
factory proof of endurance, &c. Col. Campbell,
Superintendent of the Department, has received in-
structions from the Secretary of State for War to
confine himself in future to the exclusive manufac-
ture of all guns, both for land and sea service, on
the above-named method.

sions in the medical department of the army will

the Major-General, who afterwards witnessed the
troops go through a few manoeuvres. At the close
of the inspection of the troops, Gen. Murray went
through some portions of the barracks in which
some important alterations and improvements have
been made in course of the last few years, to render
them better adapted for the accommodation of
officers and troops—a purpose for which the build-
ings were never originally constructed.
The following appointments were made on Wed-
nesday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Henry J. Hesketh,
to the Vestal ; Lieut. A. de C. Crawford, to the
Bristol ; T. E. Cochrane and W. A. Beckles, mid-

num, less income-tax.
